Chapter 257: The Strange Mother-Son Relationship
...
Speaking of Tong Yao, Lin Fengying was also anxiously peering out of her door, as she waited for the rice to cook. Tong Yao and Si Chen should be home by now. But there was no sign of them, which made her say: "I’m going to take a look up the road."
With all this snow, the roads are slippery. They could have an accident on the way home.
Her eldest son’s been married for more than half a year now, Tong Yao might already be pregnant. She shouldn’t take any risks on the road.
"Oh, mom," Si Xiaohui, pulling her mother’s arm to stop her from going, said, "It’s snowing heavily outside. How could they be coming home now? They must be staying in the city tonight, and then they’ll come back tomorrow morning. The food is getting cold, let’s eat first!"
The weather is too cold and her hands and feet are freezing. Si Xiaohui is dying to eat something hot and then watch TV. She’s been busy all day in the city, gets back home at night, cleans up and then heads to bed; her life has become quite fulfilling. However, since she’s off for Spring Festival, she is finding the solitude boring.
Additionally, due to the slippery roads and chilling environment indoors, it’s quite gloomy and uncomfortable.
She used to love celebrating the New Year, but now she wishes she could finish celebrating quickly and go back to the city. It’s so comfortable there. Everything is always clean, which is just not the case at home. She goes out for a short walk in the snow and her shoes get wet.
