One day …
Two days …
Three days …
Almost a week had passed. After Dong Xuebing punished Lui Dafa, this old man became obedient. He applied for three days' leave and returned to work. But most of the time, he locked himself in his office and admitted that he had been overthrown. He no longer goes against Dong Xuebing. As for the Investment Promotion Agency, Dong Xuebing got familiar with it after a few days. He is only in charge of the overall situation and assigned tasks to the Office, Business Section, and other departments.
It was Saturday.
Under the blanket, Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
Because of the work, the Investment Promotion Agency is busier on weekends than on weekdays. But Dong Xuebing is the Chief, and he decided to give himself a day off.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing heard the sound of a key opening the door.
After a while, Dong Xuebing, who was fast asleep, felt someone pushing his butt.
"Xiao Bing … Xiao Bing …" Dong Xuebing's mother, Luan Xiaoping. "It's 9 am. Wake up."
Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and yawned. "I am having a day off today. Sleep a while more. I am exhausted these few days."
Luan Xiaoping looked at her son helplessly. She reached out and used her fingernails to remove the eye wax from the corner of his eyes. Then, she pulled the blanket to cover her son's feet. "You … work like a madman. You don't even listen to me. Sigh … Go to sleep. I will clean up your room and prepare breakfast for you." Dong Xuebing had given Luan Xiaoping the spare keys to the County Party Committee Quarters during Lunar New Year. Luan Xiaoping had come over to help her son wash his clothes. She knows her son is lazy, and there is no woman at home. If she does not come over for two weeks, the house will be dirty.
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes and nodded. "Thank you, Mum."
"Don't mention it." Luan Xiaoping patted her son's hand. "Go to sleep."
Luan Xiaoping went out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her. After that, she started washing, mopping, and sweeping the floor.
About an hour later, Dong Xuebing woke up naturally and got up. He put on his clothes and put on his slippers before leaving the house.
Luan Xiaoping is hanging the clothes on the window in the living room.
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "Mum, thank you for your hard work. Let me do the rest."
"It's up?" Luan Xiaoping turned around and smiled warmly. "It's fine. I'm not that old yet. Go brush your teeth and wash up. Breakfast is ready."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Mum, I just realized you are getting prettier recently."
Luan Xiaoping glared at him and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am almost 50 years old. How can I be beautiful?" After saying this, she smiled.
Dong Xuebing looked at his mother's face. "Hehe … I am serious. Did you put on makeup?"
Luan Xiaoping blushed and hurriedly said, "Don't joke around. Go brush your teeth."
"Really?" Dong Xuebing is surprised as he seldom sees his mother dressing up. In the past, his family was poor and did not use any cosmetics. At most, she would touch Da Bao, Yu Meijing, etc. After Dong Xuebing became rich, his mother did not purposely buy any clothes or cosmetics. Maybe she felt there is no need to dress up, or she is used to it. But today …
Luan Xiaoping quickly hangs up her clothes. "I will be angry if I continue to look at you. Go, go, go."
"What day is it today?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "Is it your birthday? No. It is still Lunar New Year. Oh, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. But it should not be. " In the end, Dong Xuebing was chased into the toilet by his mother. He had no choice but to use his toothbrush to brush his teeth.
These few months, Dong Xuebing had not taken good care of his mother. Firstly, he is busy with work, promotion, and the surgery in Korea. Secondly, he is used to his mother taking care of him. Luan Xiaoping will come over to take care of him whenever he does not need to visit his mother in her dormitory. But now, Dong Xuebing remembered that his mother will visit him every weekend from morning to night. But these two months, his mother had visited him less frequently.
During breakfast, Luan Xiaoping gave her son a salted duck egg. "Eat it with the porridge."
"Mum, are you hiding something from me?" Dong Xuebing is worried. "Why do I feel something is wrong with you recently?"
Luan Xiaoping blushed. "… no."
Dong Xuebing put down his chopsticks. "Impossible. You must be hiding something. Hurry up and tell me."
"… I really don't have anything to tell you."
"Hurry up and tell me. If not, I will not be able to eat."
Luan Xiaoping looks embarrassed. She took a sip of the porridge and asked softly. "Err … I want to ask you something. You … your father had passed away for so many years, and I did not forget him. It's just … I had never thought about him … but …" Luan Xiaoping looked at her son. "Let me put it this way. If I … if I find a stepfather for you, will you … will you be unhappy?"
Dong Xuebing was shocked when he heard this. "You have a girlfriend?!"
Luan Xiaoping quickly waved her hand. "No … no … I am just asking."
"This is not a casual question. They are already dating." Dong Xuebing is having mixed feelings and asked anxiously. "Who is that person? Is she a teacher in your school? How old is she? What's her name? " Dong Xuebing asked. "You are really something. Why didn't you discuss this with me first? How come you are dating? When did you two start dating?"
Luan Xiaoping replied nervously. "We are not dating. I am just giving an example."
"Ah … why are you still trying to play dumb with me?"
"… then you … answer my question first." Luan Xiaoping looks at her son. "Do you also think it is not good? Forget it. Just pretend I did not say anything. "
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. You almost scared me. How can you pretend you did not say anything? Dong Xuebing thought for a while and sighed. "Mum, it's not that I don't agree. My father had passed away for a few years, and it's normal for you to find a partner. As your son, how can I object? As long as you are happy, I am afraid you will be cheated. There are all kinds of people in this world, and you are too kind. What if you get cheated … "
Luan Xiaoping stared at Dong Xuebing. "I know how to read people better than you!"
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. "No matter what, you must let me meet that old man first."
"What old man?" Luan Xiaoping wasn't happy.
Dong Xuebing felt jealous in his heart. How can she be so protective of him at such a young age? Sigh …
After breakfast, Luan Xiaoping held her son's hand and sat on the sofa. "I will not hide it from you. Last year, I went shopping with my colleagues in the city, and I saw a young man trying to scam an old lady. I was afraid that the old lady would be scammed, so I went over to warn her. But the scammer refused to listen and pointed at me. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit me. At this time, a car stopped by the roadside, and a middle-aged man in his fifties alighted. He did not even say a word and just looked at the scammer, and he was scared away."
Dong Xuebing snorted. "It's still a hero saving a damsel in distress."
Luan Xiaoping shouted angrily. "Are you going to listen to me or not? If you don't want to listen to me, I will stop. "
"Err … err … err … err …"
"I quickly thanked him, and we got to know each other after that." Luan Xiaoping smiled. "He gave me his mobile number, and I gave him my home number. After that, we contacted each other a few times. Sometimes, when I go to Fen Zhou City, I will look for him at a teahouse. Old Yang is a nice person and is very talkative. His family is similar to mine, and his wife had passed away a few years ago."
"He is working in the City? What's his name? "
"Yang Zhaode."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "What's your relationship with him now?"
"It's fine." Luan Xiaoping quickly replied. "We are just normal friends, and we get along well."
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. "Forget it. Young people like us should be passionate when dating. Twilight Love is different. You two can keep in touch over the phone, meet up frequently, and chat with each other. Doesn't that mean you have a girlfriend?" Dong Xuebing's mother is very reserved when dating at her age. She will not confirm their relationship verbally, and this is considered a confirmed relationship.
Luan Xiaoping could hear the jealousy in her son's tone. She touched Dong Xuebing's hand. "You … if you don't like him, I will not contact him anymore."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "When did I say I don't like him?"
"Then …"
"It's your call, but I must keep an eye on him." Dong Xuebing does not object to his mother dating, but he is worried about the other party's character and character. He needs to meet the other party personally. Luan Xiaoping is Dong Xuebing's life, and he does not want his mother to be fooled by others. Dong Xuebing's mother might be in her forties, but she still looks pretty after putting on makeup. She is considered one of the prettiest among her peers.
Luan Xiaoping looks at Dong Xuebing. "Old Yang might be busy with work these few days. Let's have dinner together in a few days. What do you think?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Sure."
Luan Xiaoping took a deep breath. "Xiao Bing, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"I thought you will never agree. That's … that's why I didn't dare to tell you."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are my mother, and I will be happy if you are happy. I will also be happy if you are happy. Why can't I agree? It's just another stepfather. As long as Comrade Old Yang has a good character, I'll raise both hands in approval. You're already so old and you're still alone. You should find a companion. I'm busy with work, and it's good to have someone to talk to you every day. "
Luan Xiaoping laughed. "What Comrade Yang? Stop calling me that."
"Haha …"
