Gazing at the Rainbow

Chapter 58: Old girl

   "Tuk Tuk Tuk" Lin Yao's door was knocked on.

  

   "Sister Lin is there?" Li Shulan asked outside her room, "Sister Lin waited for a meal with us."

  

   Lin Yao got up and opened the door, and smiled gently at her, "No, you guys eat, I'm about to go out." This is just an excuse, but if it doesn't work, she will really go out.

  

"We have already prepared the food. Wouldn't it be a waste if Sister Lin didn't eat at all?" Li Shulan looked at her impassively, and said imploringly: "Sister Lin, the food will be ready soon. It won't take much time. You take care of me. For so long, it is right to invite you to a meal."

  

   It’s definitely not possible to take care of it. Lin Yao knows very well that since Li Shulan and the others moved in, they have been taking care of themselves.

  

   And their family is sitting together talking and eating. How inappropriate is it for her to sit there as an outsider?

  

   Li Shulan pulled her sleeves and shook her, her eyes were begging, "Lin~Sister~, eat together~ well~"

  

   Lin Yao's originally prepared rhetoric suddenly couldn't be said. She had the illusion that the person in front of her was Jiang Mingshu instead of Li Shulan.

  

   I don’t know whether Jiang Mingshu was influenced by her Hujian roommate or by the idol drama (dubbing from Hong Kong and Taiwan). She speaks very loudly, and she acts like acting when she is not acting.

  

   Li Shulan is an authentic Hujian sister. Although she speaks Mandarin well and does not have a heavy Hujian accent, she is just like Jiang Mingshu when she is coquettish.

  

   Lin Yao doesn't know how the boy feels when he hears it, anyway, she can't refuse, "Then I have another meal?"

  

   Li Shulan was overjoyed, "Okay, Sister Lin."

  

  ******

  

   When Lin Yao walked out of the room, she saw Li Shulan and his family of three already sitting around the small dining table.

  

   She walked over with a smile, and said to them, "Good uncle, good aunt!"

  

   Li Shulan patted the chair and greeted enthusiastically: "Sister Lin sits here. I will serve you this bowl of soup. Drink the soup first, then serve the rice."

  

   "Thank you Shulan!" Lin Yao sat down and asked casually, "By the way, why is your husband not here?"

  

Li Shulan's face instantly dimmed. She poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks. "He went back to the company after receiving the meal from his parents. Their company is very annoying. They always work overtime, endlessly. I’m working overtime!"

  

   The atmosphere on the dining table was suddenly a bit low and heavy.

  

   Lin Yao was stunned. She remembered that Li Shulan’s husband is indeed rarely at home, even on weekends. Which pot does she belong to or not to open?

  

   "That's it, I..." She didn't know what to say for a while, and laughed at herself: "I'm probably sleeping confused..."

  

   Li Shulan raised her head and smiled at her, "Oh, don't worry about Sister Lin. I'm usually the only one at home anyway, I'm used to it a long time ago."

  

   Li Shulan’s husband is not the only one who always works overtime. Lin Yao rarely goes home early. The 18-year-old Li Shulan goes shopping alone, cooks alone, eats alone, and cleans up after dinner...

  

   Lin Yao suddenly understood, no wonder Li Shulan was very happy every time she saw her go home.

  

   A look of worry appeared on Li Shulan's parents' faces.

  

   Li Shulan smiled and said, "My mother's soup is delicious, Sister Lin, try it!"

  

   Lin Yao tasted it according to his words, as expected!

  

   Home cooking is different from the food in the restaurant. The food in the restaurant pays more attention to the taste and appearance, while the home cooking is more attentive.

  

   Li Shulan’s mother’s stew is so hot that the bones are crispy, the soup is rich and the meat is overflowing...In winter, what can be more tempting than a bowl of hot and fragrant bone soup?

  

   is gone for Lin Yao!

  

   She couldn't help but compare her thumbs, and exclaimed: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! Auntie's craftsmanship really didn't say anything!"

  

   Li Shulan smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Is that right, the soup made by mother is the best."

  

   Being praised, Li Shulan's mother laughed from ear to ear, "A lot~eat~a little~, you are all too skinny, a lot~eat~a little~!"

  

   There was laughter in the small restaurant.

  

  ******

  

   After the meal, Li Shulan was sent back to the room to lie down and have a baby.

  

   Lin Yao took the initiative to help Li Shulan's mother clean up the mess.

  

   Li Shulan’s father was sitting there with his legs awkwardly.

  

   Li Shulan’s parents are still very young, they seem to be about forty years old, but the actual age is probably less than forty years old.

  

   When she thinks about it, she finds it incredible that two such young people are about to become grandparents!

  

   Li Shulan's mother was a little blessed, she looked like Li Shulan when she laughed, and she was very kind, "Miss Lin~how old this year~?" This accent is vaguely familiar.

  

   Lin Yao passed the bowl in her hand and replied: "Twenty-one."

  

   "Yo!!!" Li Shulan's mother exclaimed, "It's twenty-one~? I really can't see~coming~."

  

   This is not flattery. Lin Yao looks younger than her actual age, while Li Shulan is a little more mature than her actual age, so the 21-year-old Lin Yao indeed looks a few years younger than the 18-year-old Li Shulan.

  

   Li Shulan's mother seemed to hesitate, but she still spoke cautiously, her expression and appearance were exactly the same as Li Shulan, "Miss Lin~not yet~married~?"

  

   "Mom...¥%¥*%...*..."

  

   Li Shulan shouted in the room, she was speaking in a dialect, Lin Yao couldn't understand it, but listening to the tone should explain why Lin Yao is still not married.

  

   Li Shulan's mother heard her daughter's words, her face changed again and again. It seemed a pity to look at Lin Yao's appearance, and she might also be sympathetic.

  

   "Yes, not yet." Lin Yao smiled disapprovingly, "I only graduated from school last year, and I have only worked for a year. I didn't find someone so quickly."

  

   Li Shulan's mother widened her eyes and exclaimed: "You kid Lv read this~ a lot~ books~~?!"

  

   (Lv children = girl)

  

   According to what she said, boys should read more books, and girls don’t have to.

  

   Lin Yao was stunned. She graduated from a junior college, and she was not qualified to be called "reading so many books", but Li Shulan got married when she was a teenager, so it is possible that she did not finish high school, or did not go to high school at all.

  

   Compared with Li Shulan, Lin Yao did read a lot of books, so she said "um".

  

   She lived for twenty-one years, and for the first time in her life she was praised for reading a lot. It was a bit complicated.

  

   Li Shulan muttered in the room, "Mom...#~%***~...#*!" I was very upset. UU Read www.uukahnshu.com seemed to be complaining that her mother shouldn't be nosy.

  

   It turns out that every girl is more willful when in front of her mother, and Li Shulan is no exception.

  

   Li Shulan’s father obviously didn’t want to see his wife being bullied by his daughter, and took the lead in protest. "Li Shulan’s mother also muttered a few words "%$^~*~~$~~" as if weakly defending herself.

  

   Lin Yao didn't want to see their family arguing about her, so she made a round of rounds, "Shulan, my auntie and I have a casual chat, it's okay."

  

"Yes~~~, let’s just chat~chat~, it doesn’t matter~." Li Shulan's mother smiled again, but the most concerned thing is still Lin Yao's marriage. "Miss Lin's family has not arranged a blind date~ ~?"

  

   Lin Yao replied helplessly: "I'm not in a hurry at home, I'm only 21 this year, and many people are still in school when I was my age."

  

   Li Shulan's parents looked at each other, as if they didn't believe her statement, they got together and muttered a few words.

  

Lin Yao was about to go back to the room, and Li Shulan’s mother spoke again: "We are married in our teens~...when you are twenty, you will become an old aunt~mother~, you are all twenty. Once, why doesn’t the family make arrangements for you?"

  

   Lin Yao was stiff, her face was full of disbelief.

  

   Old girl?

  

   Who did she say is the old girl?
