C248 A Simple Waiter
Mazda drove for several hundred kilometers before he turned off the national highway and entered a concrete field. From outside the window, he could see that there were no longer any tall buildings, and what replaced them was flat land.
Since they had left the national highway, the road conditions had become more and more difficult to walk on. There were many potholes, and the two people sitting inside Mazda only felt their bodies swaying along with the car.
After another hour of driving, Chen Fusheng finally arrived at the entrance of Lin Lan's hometown. It had to be said that this place was indeed rather remote.
Chen Fusheng drove into the village and saw a lot of children playing at the entrance. Both sides of the village were made up of brick houses, which looked old and worn out. Not far away, there were several threshing grounds and haystacks.
Chen Fusheng was driving very slowly at this moment. He looked around carefully, afraid that he would bump into some dog or chicken.
Not long after, Lin Lan pointed at a house with a yard in front of them and said, "That's my house. Just drive the car into the yard."
Lin Lan nodded and drove the car to the center of the yard. Before the two got out of the car, a grey dog ran over and barked at Mazda.
"Ashball, stop screaming."
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out and said to the big greyhound. She walked over to the car and squinted.
The middle-aged woman's skin was somewhat rough, and she wore the clothes that common peasant women usually wore. She wore a floral jacket, and beneath it was a pair of loose trousers.
The expression on her face was somewhat timid, and the corners of her eyes were already filled with lines. Perhaps it was because she was doing farm work that her skin had already been completely tanned. However, judging from her facial features, she was extremely beautiful. When she was young, she was definitely a great beauty.
After getting off the car, Lin Lan threw herself into the middle-aged woman's arms and called out for her mother.
At this time, Chen Fusheng got out of the car, looked at the middle-aged woman and said with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."
The middle-aged woman patted her daughter on the back and looked up and down Chen Fusheng's face. She smiled warmly and asked, "You should be my daughter's friend. This young man is so energetic."
Chen Fusheng nodded and smiled, "That's right, Auntie. The two of us were even talking on the phone before."
Lin's mother immediately remembered and said to Chen Fusheng with a smile, "Let's go inside the house first. It's sunny outside."
Chen Fusheng took out the gifts he brought from the car and followed the mother and daughter inside.
Lin's mother took out a wooden stool from the room and wiped it with her sleeve. She said with a bit of restraint, "Don't be offended. The countryside is dirty, I didn't prepare in advance."
"You probably haven't eaten yet, right? "I'll cook an Egg Fried Rice for you guys. You guys wait first."
Chen Fusheng sat down on the bench and said with a smile, "No problem, sorry to trouble you, Auntie."
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin's mother's face. She then turned around and walked into the kitchen. She then ordered a serving of Egg Fried Rice and some ordinary dishes, which she served together.
Since he had not prepared anything in advance, the dishes were relatively simple. There were only some vegetables grown in his own garden.
Lin Lan's face was a little hot. She said to her mother, "Mom, this is the first time he's been to our house. Isn't his food a little too light?"
Lin's mother said embarrassedly, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? If I had known, I would have asked someone to bring some meat from the village!"
"It doesn't matter, I just like to eat lighter food. Moreover, your house is filled with green food, which you can't eat even if you wanted to in the city."
Chen Fusheng didn't care at all. He chewed the rice in his mouth and picked up the celery on the plate, wolfing it down.
Seeing that he was reasonable, Lin Lan was happy but also a bit embarrassed. She apologetically said, "I'm sorry, but there is nothing in the house that can be entertained."
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Fusheng waved his hand and then placed the gift in front of Lin's mother. He smiled and said, "Auntie, I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything good."
"Here are some seafood dishes, as well as some beef and mutton meat from the highlands. You have to do farm work at home, so you have to take good care of your body."
When Lin's mother saw this scene, her face flushed red with embarrassment. She could tell that Chen Fusheng was definitely from the city and his living conditions were pretty good.
It was too inattentive to entertain him with only some Egg Fried Rice and some small vegetables. He would definitely not be used to eating them in his mouth.
Thinking about this, she hurriedly stood up and picked up the dishes, embarrassed. She then said, "Young man, don't joke with me. Auntie really didn't prepare anything. It just so happens that you brought some meat dishes over this time. I'll go and cook some for you. "
At this moment, Chen Fusheng quickly stood up from the bench and stopped Lin's mother, "Auntie, what are you thinking about? I really didn't mean it that way."
He knew that Lin's mother had misunderstood him, but he could not think of an explanation in a short period of time. He could only scoop the Egg Fried Rice into his mouth with all his might.
"Auntie, I love eating Egg Fried Rice. You don't have to go through so much trouble."
Because he was in too much of a hurry to eat the rice, some of the rice grains rushed into his windpipe, causing him to cough violently.
When Lin Lan saw this scene, her eyes couldn't help but turn red and her heart was deeply moved.
She knew that the reason why Chen Fusheng did this was because he was afraid that his mother would feel inferior to him.
But he was clearly the chairman of the top five hundred in the world, and his status was nothing compared to the other people's. Normally, even if he was a rich person from the Qingzhou, it would be difficult for him to meet him.
But today, in his own home, even though his mother had treated him so shabbily, he didn't care about it at all. Furthermore, he was thinking for his own sake at all times.
Looking at his silly smile, Lin Lan felt her heart overturning. It was hard to tell what the feeling was, but she could only see his face blushing from swallowing and coughing.
There was sweetness in the heart, but there was also bitterness. There was happiness and also pain.
"Young man, why are you in such a hurry? Drink some water first."
Only then did Lin's mother put the dishes back on the table. She quickly poured Chen Fusheng a cup of cold water and opened it. Her eyes were filled with kindness.
She could feel the careful kindness from Chen Fusheng, so she was both satisfied and pleased.
This young man was very courteous and was even more mature and magnanimous than his peers. It was no wonder that his daughter brought him home. It seemed that she was really prepared to seriously interact with him.
Since Lin Lan had gone to college, this was the first time she brought her friend home. It could be seen that this young man held a lot of weight in her daughter's heart.
"By the way, Mom, where's Little Mountain?"
At this time, Lin Lan also had a taste of the vegetables, then she looked around the yard, asking her mother.
Lin's mother smiled and said, "Your brother went to the mountain to pick wild fruits."
Lin Lan nodded and asked again, "Mom, how's the harvest this year?"
Lin's mother sat opposite Chen Fusheng and said with a smile, "Isn't it just like before? Even if we don't die from hunger, we won't be able to hold on. "
Then, with a kind smile on her face, she asked Chen Fusheng: "Oh yeah, young man, I still don't know your name. "And how long have you been dating my daughter?"
