Promise You a Prosperous Life - C14
Since I decided to go out for a stroll, I had to consider the issue of food and drinks. The food in the scenic area is extremely expensive, and there are even rumors on the internet that there are sky-high prices of crayfish.
Yu Mo was a man who had just returned from a business trip, so this mission naturally belonged to him.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to give up on the bread and fruit and change it to more affordable scones and roast chicken and a large bucket of mineral water from a military kettle.
These items look very old-fashioned, but they are the most practical when one is tired of them all. Thus, early the next morning, I went to the market.
I had them all ready in my backpack when my mother and I were picked up.
Yu Mo glanced at the bulging backpack and frowned. His expression immediately darkened, “Gu Yan, don’t tell me you’ve brought enough rations for the day?”
I didn’t get what he meant. Instead, I unzipped the zipper and showed off my stuff. “Director Yu, we can’t stay hungry while enjoying the scenery, so I’ve prepared these, which is economic and practical. Are you satisfied?”
I looked up at Yu Mo Yi, waiting for his praise with glee, but instead I met his increasingly cold expression and merciless sarcasm.
“Gu Yan, are you a transmigrated person?” The hotel in the scenic area won’t let us in? Come with me. Do you need to prepare these? ”
Yu Mo Yi’s face was covered in ice, like a land of frost. In the next second, he seemed to be carrying out the sesame seed cake and roast chicken. I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
My mother had been sitting in the room, probably surprised by Yu Mo Yi’s words, when suddenly she stood in the middle of us with a gust of wind in her hand, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Yu Mo Yi with a look of utter chaos in her eyes.
His mother’s eyes were filled with confusion, as if she was looking far into the distance. There was also curiosity in them, making them shine with a pure and direct light. However, when these two expressions intertwined, her mother’s appearance became even weirder.
I remembered that it was the first time my mother had seen Yu Mo Yi. When she was sick and in the hospital, Yu Mo had fallen asleep the few times she went there. My mother was probably curious about the sudden appearance of a man in the family.
I was afraid of scaring Yu Mo Yi, so I tried to pull my mother away.
However, my mother turned around a step before me and quickly squatted beside the backpack. She used both of her hands to pull it from left and right. Very quickly, my mother raised the roasted chicken and directly placed it in front of Yu Mo Yi’s mouth.
Mom said vaguely, “Meat, incense, quickly eat.”
I was even more uneasy, and when I tried to stop it again, something unexpected happened.
Yu Mo Yi, who had a look of disgust on his face a moment ago, actually took the roasted chicken from his mother’s hands and took a big bite. With a mouth full of oil, he said with a gentle voice that he had never felt before, “Auntie, thank you. It’s really delicious.”
His mother was very happy to hear his praise. She actually wiped Yu Mo’s mouth, but he didn’t move away. After his mother left, he gently took a second bite of the roasted chicken. Finally, he drank the water in the military kettle that his mother passed to him.
If anyone else had come in, they would have thought that my mother and Yu Mo were the long-lost mother and son. For a moment, I just stood there, dumbfounded, unable to understand what had happened.
Because of my mother, Yu Mo didn’t stop me from bringing these things. An hour later, the three of us arrived at the scenic area.
Yu Mo took the role of tour guide, accompanied by a beautiful ancient story, I gradually forgot unhappiness, the mood is not so heavy.
Mom saw the green mountains and clear water, also happy as a child, constantly shouting, unknowingly, we happily swam two attractions.
On my way to the next attraction, my mother saw a lot of people lining up not far away to buy fried ice, so she started yelling about wanting to eat. When I took my mother’s arm to buy some, Yu Mo kindly said, “You and auntie wait here, I’ll go.”
Just as I was about to say something, Yu Mo Yi had already left. Looking at his straight back and smelling the faint scent of ink in the air, I suddenly thought of an idiom, “Peace in the Modern World”.
As my mother and I sat there waiting, we realized that although this was the intersection of all sorts of scenic spots, the cliffs were incredibly steep and the scenery was also extraordinarily beautiful. There were more tourists taking photos here than any other place, and it was very lively and lively.
A middle-aged man with shoulder-length hair and a camera hanging from his neck walked over and asked politely.
“Miss, I’m an amateur photographer. Can I take a photo of you here? Of course, I can leave my cell phone number behind for you to be at ease.”
After all, I didn’t know her. I smiled and was about to refuse, but my mother was very happy. She pulled me up with a great deal of strength.
I thought about it. Isn’t it just a picture? Where can I go? He agreed.
The middle-aged man was very happy. After leaving the number, he asked me to hold my hand and look up at the sky while sitting on a large rock nearby. After that, the lights started to flash non-stop.
However, after looking at the photo, the middle-aged man regretfully said, “If only I had a garland, then it would be perfect.”
There weren’t any flower rings sold around, so I didn’t want to pick them. I just told her to let it go, but my mom became excited again. She walked to a spot one meter away from us and started picking flowers.
I wanted to stop her, but thinking that my mother was in sight, I let her go.
But I never expected that it was this carelessness that made me feel guilty for my entire life.
