Chapter 146 (1/2)
This is probably what people call a little farewell better than a new marriage.
”Are you awake, ma'am?”
Mother Zhang opened the door and sewed it gently. Seeing that Li Nuan had opened her eyes, she came in with a cup of hot milk in her hand.
”Well.” She pulled the quilt up and covered her neck: ”did Gu Muchen go?”
”Sir just left, let me bring up a glass of milk, said the wife should wake up later, afraid you are hungry.”
”Has the gentleman eaten yet?”
”She said she would go to the company to eat.” Zhang Ma put the milk on the bedside table and asked again, ”what does my wife want to eat? I'll go down to do it now.”
”Just take a bite. It's not very hungry.”
After seeing Mama Zhang close the door and go out, Li Nuan pulls the quilt down, leans against the head of the bed, picks up the milk, and puts it down in a hurry. Maybe she didn't expect Li Nuan to wake up, so what she brought up was boiling hot.
Li Nuan got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. When he came out, the milk was just right. He drank it all in one breath and went downstairs with an empty cup.
Li Nuan, who was not very hungry, called out when she smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. She patted her belly and said with a smile, ”be honest, don't shout!”
”Ma'am, who are you talking to?”
Li Nuan was talking to herself. Obviously, the voice was a little loud. Zhang Ma took a spoon and poked her head out of the kitchen.
”Oh, it's OK.” Li Nuan stopped and quickly walked into the kitchen: ”what are you doing, mama Zhang?” Put the empty cup into the sink, reached out to wash, and was stopped by Zhang ma.
”Madam, I'll just come. You can sit in the dining room and wait. The wonton will be ready soon.”
Li Nuan poured a cup of water from the living room and returned to the dining room. After a while, Mrs. Zhang had already put the wonton on the table. It was fragrant and appetizing. In a short time, it turned into an empty bowl.
”Mom Zhang, you are so delicious.”
Looking at Li Nuan's satisfied face, Zhang Ma didn't laugh, but stood there, as if she had something on her mind. She pulled her own corner of her clothes.
”Mom Zhang, what's the matter with you?”
”Ma'am, I want to ask you for a leave.” After a long time, Zhang Ma began to speak, a little embarrassed: ”please two months.”
Li Nuan, who wanted to say something, opened his mouth and was stunned. Then he asked, ”is something wrong? How can you please stay so long?”
Zhang's mother is not a local. Her husband has some inconveniences. She has been living in her hometown. Her only son goes to university here. All the financial resources are borne by Zhang Ma alone. When she can not ask for leave, she will not ask for leave. Even if there are special circumstances, she will only ask for half a day. But this time, it is two months. I think something has happened.
