Chapter 91: Forty-One Branches of Flowers (Part 2)

  Auntie, I'm going downstairs with Ruirui to buy some things. Do you want to buy bananas? Ning's mom wants to make a banana face mask and also give some to Ning Qingmin. She said while taking out a small purse: "I just found out we're out of tissues, let's buy a roll too."

  "To buy, this banana face mask needs to be done continuously for more than a week to take effect." Ning's mother said, taking out the money from the box on top of the refrigerator and handing it to Zhang Yu. "This money was originally set aside for everyone to buy some miscellaneous things, you can use your own money to buy your own things, but if you want to buy something that everyone will use, then you have to take the money from here."

  "Auntie, the boss also gave me some money, sometimes to buy things, sometimes for taxi fares, and there's always some left over, so I didn't take any from there." Zhang Yu took the money and smiled, "I'm a worker, but I won't be taken advantage of, you can rest assured!"

  "It's okay as long as we don't lose out!" Ning's mom said with a smile: "Let's buy a watermelon on the way, after eating the watermelon, the rind can be used to wipe our feet and hands, making our skin fair and tender."

  "Wow, Auntie, you've become a beauty expert!" Zhang Rui Li changed into slippers and stuck out her tongue saying: "I followed your lead and did the oil-removing face mask for several days, now I don't get acne like I used to in the summer. Next thing you know, I'll be following you to whiten my skin too, haha!"

  "Honestly, Auntie is getting younger and more beautiful!" Zhang Yu bent down to tie her shoelaces, and at the same time made a gesture of bowing down in front of Ning's mother's skirt, "That young man Ah Gui actually has good taste." She said with a smile covering her mouth.

  "Go, go!" Ning's mother made a gesture to hurry Zhang Yu away. Seeing Sun Wen and Sun Wu also wanting to leave, she smiled and said: "Are you afraid that Xiao Yu and the others will be snatched away? You want to protect them?"

  "Let's go play basketball!" Sun Wen said from behind, holding out a basketball: "Play one game and then come back to take a bath and sleep, just right."

  Ning's grandmother saw Sun Wen and his family moving out, so she went to the kitchen, grabbed some trash and put it at the door. Seeing that Sun Wen and Sun Wu had already rushed downstairs, she couldn't help but laugh and say: "These two, one blink of an eye and they're gone without a trace! Xiaoyu, take the trash down!"

  "And what about them? The paper towels are all used up by them to wipe their sweat, and they don't even bother to buy more or say a word when I see it. Tomorrow we'll have nothing to use!" Zhang Yu complained, "Two big bugs that specialize in producing garbage."

  Ning's mother looked at the clock on the wall. It was just past 8 o'clock in the evening, and she suddenly realized: "Today is Saturday! I had forgotten that there are no good TV programs to watch. No wonder you all want to go out."

  ”

  "They don't watch, I'll watch!" Ning's grandma saw Zhang Yu had also gone out. She turned on the TV to watch a Vietnamese drama.

  There were four fewer people in the house. It quieted down. Ning Qing followed her grandmother to watch Yue Opera. She heard her mother's phone ring again and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Mom, take a look, it's that pursuer again!"

  "Your mom looks like she's in high spirits. She gets along well with others and has a good relationship with them too. Many people have taken notice of her." Ning's grandmother saw Ning's mom holding her phone to read the text message. Glancing at her, she said: "When one is happy, they become more attractive!"

  Ning's mom has been paying attention to her appearance since she appeared on the TV show with Ning's grandma. She dresses more tastefully now. Every night, she must finish applying a facial mask before going to bed. With Ning Qingmian not causing her any worries and being in a good mood, she looks much younger than before. There is a special charm about her.

  "It's still that Ah Kui!" Ning's mother gritted her teeth, "It's really endless. Do we have to change our phone number to avoid him?"

  "Mom, just meet him and make it clear!" Ning Qingmin laughed so hard that she was out of breath, looking at her mother with her eyes, "Your phone has been charged with so much airtime, now changing the number is not worth it. Besides, if he wants to pester you, just wait at the TV station entrance, and you can't avoid him."

  "Xiao Min, he looks like he's just a few years older than you, and said that he had just entered society and was having a hard time with his superior, so his mood wasn't good. That day, he told me some things, I thought that young people who have just entered society and are facing setbacks are all very depressed, so I comforted him a few words. I didn't expect him to have this kind of idea about me. Look at the text message he sent, it makes me want to vomit blood." Ning's mom was very helpless, "You're both young people, there shouldn't be such a big generation gap, help me take a look at how to deal with this."

  Ning Qingmin smiled and took Ning's mother's mobile phone to read the text messages, which were sent in several parts as they couldn't be finished in one message. The text messages from Ah Gui roughly said that it was rare to meet someone you know, if Ning's mother gave up her own happiness due to age restrictions, it would be a pity for her life and so on.

  Ning Qingmin looked at the text message with disgust, her whole body broke out in goosebumps. She deleted it and made a wiping sweat gesture, saying: "Mom, no wonder you were afraid! Not to mention his age difference, just that he had only eaten with him once, seen each other a few times, but thought they had deep feelings. This kind of person is probably mentally ill."

  "Huixin, why don't you just clarify things with Su Luo?" Ning's grandmother said with a smile: "As long as you have a formal boyfriend, Ah Gui will naturally give up his thoughts."

  Ning Qingmin knew that the Su Luo her grandmother mentioned was that actor she had mentioned before, and she had been busy and hadn't had time to see what kind of person he was. However, her grandmother highly recommended him, and with her experience, it shouldn't be wrong.

  "Mom, if Su Luo's uncle is okay, then consider it! Ning Qing shook her mother's arm, "It's better than being pestered by young men."

  Ning's mother fell silent and didn't speak, after a while she walked towards the balcony, as if wanting to calm down alone.

  "Accepting Su Luo means completely letting go of the past." Ning's grandmother looked up at Ning's mother's back and sighed, "It's all like this now, but she still stubbornly holds onto the past."

  "Grandma, let's help with the needle and thread!" Ning Qing whispered in Grandma Ning's ear, "Mom still has old-fashioned ideas, thinking that we're still in a feudal society where you have to stick together till the end! They've already divorced, and they're living happy lives. What else does she want? If Uncle Su is good enough, we should help push things along and let Mom live a happy life with someone to take care of her."

  "How can we help?" Ning's grandmother whispered to Ning Qingmian, "Can't we invite them to dinner and get them drunk, then put them together?"

  "Grandma, this is just a plot from a TV show. I'm afraid they won't fall for it." Ning Qing smiled, "The ball is in Mom's court. As long as we fool her, that Su uncle will naturally follow suit and chase after Mom."

  "What's going on?" Ning's grandmother gained momentum and pulled Ning Qingmian saying: "Let's go to the room to discuss."

  "Yes, for mom's happiness, we must think of a good way." Ning Qing followed Ning Waipo into the room, "Actually, mom is so enthusiastic about whitening and removing freckles, it has a bit of a 'beauty for one's own pleasure' flavor. Who knows, maybe she already has feelings for that Uncle Su! We just need to help things along at the right time."

  Ning's grandma nodded and said: "Right, I secretly observed them. When the two of them looked into each other's eyes, they sparkled. Who would believe that there's no romance between them?"

  "Exactly!" Ning Qingming nodded, and had a few more points of confidence in her mother's affairs.
