Chapter 295 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (2)
After hearing what her eldest daughter Xu Xiaowei said, Xu's mother opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't think of what to say. After all, her eldest daughter was right.
Compared to the well-behaved, dull and taciturn second daughter, the smart, lively and playful eldest daughter is indeed more likable.
Forget it, no one is perfect. This is the only way Xu’s mother can comfort herself.
It was not until the mall was about to close that Xu's mother and Xu Xiaowei went home together.
As soon as Xu Xiaowei entered the house, she couldn't wait to go back to her room to organize her newly bought clothes.
Xu's mother changed into slippers and slowly walked into the restaurant. What caught her eyes was a table full of leftovers, with bowls and chopsticks placed haphazardly. It was obvious that neither her husband nor her son had cleaned the table, let alone washed the dishes.
Mother Xu frowned and was about to say something when Xu Xiaowei came out of the room again, pointed at a pile of clothes on the sofa and said to her, "Mom, the new clothes we bought today are only enough for two or three days. You should wash these clothes quickly. I'm still waiting to change them!"
Hearing this, Xu's mother, who was already exhausted, collapsed on the sofa, without even the strength to move a finger.
In fact, the company where Xu's mother works mainly runs a summer cold drink business, so summer is the busiest time for the company.
After getting home from get off work every day, Xu's mother is exhausted and just wants to have a good rest.
But now, not only does she have to clean the table, but she also has to do the laundry, which makes Xu's mother feel very helpless.
I just sat on the sofa for a while, and at this moment, Father Xu came out of the room: "You and your daughter are back! How much did you spend?"
"More than 3,000. You know that clothes in physical stores nowadays can easily cost hundreds of dollars." Xu's mother said with some distress, "She wants to buy shoes and clothes. If I hadn't stopped her, Xiaowei would have spent tens of thousands of dollars."
"Then you don't care about her!" Father Xu felt distressed when he heard that several thousand dollars were gone. "Just buy one or two pieces of clothing for her. Just give her something to wear tomorrow. I will do whatever she wants."
"You say that so easily!" Mother Xu sneered, "You are a good father yourself, how can you understand my difficulties? And why don't you tidy up the table? It's such a small matter that you have to wait until I get home to clean up. If Youwei is still here..."
The voice stopped abruptly when she mentioned "Youwei". Mother Xu seemed to have just realized: "After Youwei's admission letter came out, did we not do what we promised to do to take her shopping for clothes?"
Father Xu frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you take her with you?"
"I'm so busy, where do I find the time!" Xu's mother complained, "Summer is our company's peak season, and I'm busy like a top every day. In the past summer vacations, Youwei felt sorry for me and even helped me with the housework."
Speaking of the word "heartache", Xu's mother looked a little uneasy. She seemed to understand why she felt uncomfortable everywhere during this period of time!
"Alright, alright!" Although Mr. Xu felt a little guilty, he still managed to speak, "It's not a big deal! There is no such thing as overnight hatred between parents and children! Give her a call tomorrow and ask her how she is doing over there.
We should also care about her. Don’t think that we as parents really don’t care about her. Youwei is a kind child and she won’t care too much.”
But when the phone was mentioned, Xu's mother's face began to turn pale. She asked tentatively, "Did you buy a mobile phone for Youwei?"
"Didn't you buy it?" Father Xu was also surprised. "I paid for the tuition and living expenses. Shouldn't you pay for the phone?"
Mother Xu pursed her lips and said nervously: "I thought you bought it!"
"You..." Father Xu's expression began to change. There was shame, anger, and embarrassment, but there was no worry. After a long while, he said, "Forget it. She's going to school anyway. It doesn't matter whether she has a cell phone or not.
The guard room at the university dormitory has a telephone. After the school starts, we can call the school and ask for her phone number, and then we can contact Youwei."
"Is this okay?" Xu's mother began to worry. "After all, there is still more than a month before school starts! How can you just ignore her like this? Will Youwei get into an accident?"
"What kind of accident could possibly happen?" Father Xu said disapprovingly, "Youwei has been more independent than her older sister and brother since she was young, and now the legal society is very safe, so you should just be at ease!
Besides, now that everyone has left, what's the point of worrying? Can you take a leave and buy a ticket to see her? Can you leave during the peak season? Besides, she has been strong since she was a child, so she will be fine."
"How about we let Songze take a car to see her?" Xu's mother suggested, "S City is also a good place for summer vacation travel, so let's take him on a trip."
"Shut up!" Father Xu immediately came over and covered his wife's mouth. "Keep this idea to yourself. What if Songze really wants to go? Not only will it cost a lot, but how can he go alone? What if something dangerous happens?
He has never traveled far alone since he was a child, are you relieved?"
Mother Xu opened her mouth and what she wanted to say was: The second daughter, Xu Youwei, was also going to S City and had never traveled far since she was a child.
But in the end, he said nothing.
