Chapter 100
Tao Xuan was stunned.
Qu Wanhua didn't know why, so she was a little worried.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I heard my father said that my mother loved beauty before she was alive, so I made my own decision..."
Tao Haishan waved his hand, motioning her to stop talking.
"Wanhua, take Xiaoxuan to rest first. Xiaoxi, take him upstairs too. Mama Lin has packed up the guest room next to yours. Let Mr. Xie live in that room today."
Tao Xi didn't know why, but obediently took Xie Qinglan upstairs.
Tao Haishan went up to the third floor alone, and sat there all night facing his wife's coffin.
Tao Xuan has not dreamed of his mother for more than ten years.
When her mother left, Tao Xi was still young and didn't remember much.
On the contrary, Tao Xuan's pain of losing his mother is even more unforgettable.
But his father, who was seriously injured physically and mentally, and his younger brother who was waiting to be fed forced him to grow up and become stronger quickly. On the contrary, he didn't have much time left for himself to miss his mother.
As time passed and my heart hardened, I couldn't even dream of her anymore.
I don't know if he was stimulated by Xie Qinglan's nonsense.
Mr. Tao actually dreamed of his mother.
In the dream, my mother stood in the field of peonies in the yard, turned her head and smiled and waved to him.
Mother is wearing a moon-white plain flower cheongsam, with her hair tied down in a low bun, and she has two sweet dimples when she smiles.
Tao Xuan's heart was blocked, and his nose was sore.
He yelled at his mother and walked towards her desperately.
But he couldn't get to her side anyway.
"Mom! Do you miss us? I miss you so much..."
Mom smiled and said nothing.
"Mom, dad and brother are fine, we're all fine, don't worry about us."
Mom just nodded at him with a smile.
Tao Xuan was tired from walking, and stretched out his hand to his mother who was always at the same distance from him.
"Mom...can I hug you? I miss you so much..."
There was a moment of hesitation on Mom's gentle smiling face.
Then she shook her head with a smile and turned to leave.
Tao Xuan was in a hurry, and rushed forward desperately, trying to hold his mother.
Then he woke up.
There is a warm and soft touch in the palm of my hand, it is my wife's hand.
The corners of the eyes are cool, and there are wet tears.
General manager Tao, the most powerful man in the shopping mall, wakes up in the early morning light, but he is just a fragile man who misses his mother.
At this moment, his heart was a little shaken.
Although Xiaoxi has been pampered since he was a child, and his family has done everything possible to ensure his material life is rich, but after all, there is something missing emotionally.
He once suspected that Tao Xi had never been in a relationship since he was a child, and even had the same gentle attitude towards everyone except his family members, but it was difficult to get really close, which was caused by the lack of maternal love since childhood. emotional disorder.
He thought Tao Xi would never fall in love with anyone.
Wasn't it...
After such a toss, Tao Xuan could no longer fall asleep.
Simply get up quietly, ready to go to the yard to get some air.
When I first arrived at the living room, I happened to see my father pacing down the stairs.
"It's just right, Xiao Xuan." Mr. Tao was full of energy, and he couldn't see any tiredness.
"Come with me for a walk, the air outside is fine now."
Tao Xuan didn't dare to mention that he dreamed about his mother in front of his own father, for fear that Mr. Gou would be sad.
But I didn't expect that the old man didn't know what happened today, and he told him a lot of embarrassing things when he was young when he pursued his mother with great interest.
When it comes to happy places, I am beaming.
Tao Xuan couldn't control his father's mentality, so he just silently listened.
As the old man spoke, he was deeply moved.
"That's great, love is a good thing. If I hadn't met your mother, I might still be a mud leg on the street. Talking about a right love can really change people's bones."
Tao Xuan couldn't hold back and said.
"But how do you know that the person in front of you is the right person and the right love?"
Tao Haishan gave his eldest son a smirk.
"Do you know what I said?"
Tao Xuan was helpless.
"It's such a big circle...Dad, it's not in your character to be so roundabout."
Tao Haishan laughed heartily twice.
"As expected of my son, he understands me. Then you should know that I have no objection to the matter between Xiaoxi and that boy Xie."
Tao Xuan was still a little reluctant.
"It's not that I don't want Xiaoxi to find a suitable person to live with. But this Xie Qinglan...we don't know his details, and I'm afraid Xiaoxi will be deceived."
Tao Haishan said firmly.
"I think this kid is good. Career or family background, these are not important. The important thing is a good character."
Tao Xuan deliberately asked back.
"How do you know if his character is good? How long have you been in contact with him?"
The old man looked confident.
"Chess quality depends on character, so does wine quality! If you can withstand my repeated trials, your character will be the same!"
As he spoke, he smiled slyly at his eldest son.
"When I went to your grandma's house for the first time, your grandpa tried me in the same way, hehe."
Tao Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Dad, don't you think there's something wrong? Grandpa is testing you, that's the father-in-law testing the son-in-law. What's the matter if you try that Xie? Will you marry our daughter?"
Tao Haishan snorted, and then argued stubbornly.
"Then... what's the difference between a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law! The point is to try! You child, why are you so awkward? You're really just like your grandfather."
After finishing speaking, he even made amends for himself.
"Besides, I only have the experience of being a son-in-law! You didn't give me a chance to test my daughter-in-law."
That's true.
Qu Wanhua and Tao Xuan are childhood sweethearts and have known each other since childhood.
The two parents are old friends who have known each other for many years, and they know each other well. The process of the two children being together is very smooth, and the family members are not worried at all.
When Tao Xuan heard this, why did he blame him?Can't help smiling and shaking his head.
Dad really became more and more childlike.
Having said all of this, it would be a bit unreasonable to insist on beating mandarin ducks with sticks.
Tao Xuan also compromised with the father and son.
"If you're not mistaken, of course I don't object to them being together. After so many years, Xiaoxi really needs a companion."
Xie Qinglan, who woke up from a hangover, didn't know that she had already passed the level of Tao's parents in a daze.
It took him 2 minutes to remember who he was, where he was, and what he was going to do.
Vaguely recalling some fragmented conversations last night, I broke out in a cold sweat and lost all sleepiness.
It’s over.
I can't keep my mouth shut after drinking too much, and I said the wrong thing!
When he first arrived at the Tao family mansion yesterday, he felt that there was a spirit here.
It is an obsession, gentle but powerful.
This kind of spirit is more common in ancestral temples or martyrs' cemeteries.
He guessed that it was the ancestor of the Tao family, enjoying the incense of the descendants and protecting the safety of the descendants.
This kind of spirit is harmless to strangers and belongs to the category of "ancestor blessing".
Generally, families that accumulate virtue and do good deeds will have such a spirit.
It wasn't until he accidentally walked up to the third floor because he was not familiar with the environment and layout of Tao's house that he realized that the spirit was not some ancestor, but Tao Xi's mother.
Probably because she couldn't let go of the three of them, Mother Tao couldn't bear to leave, and her obsession became a spirit.
However, Xie Qinglan understood it when she saw a layer of pearl-like luster lingering around her.
Tao's mother has been deeply loved until now.
That love lasts through the years, becomes deeper and deeper, and becomes a layer of armor called love, lingering around the whole body.
After Xie Qinglan realized that she accidentally disturbed Tao's mother, she quickly apologized and left quickly.
Originally, he was not going to tell anyone about this:
People may not believe it, and it may only increase fear.
After all, not everyone can accept the fact that there are ghosts and spirits in the world.
Unexpectedly, a drink made him bald, and he told about seeing Tao's mother...
He wasn't sure how old master Tao would react, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Tao's father and son went to the mountains early in the morning, and when they came back, they were all red and smiling.
Doesn't seem to be affected by his drunken nonsense.
Xie Qinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this wave may be 60 points long live, and passed the passing line at a low altitude.
After coaxing Tao Xi, who was lying in bed, to get up and clean up, it was almost noon.
Declining the Tao family's old man's suggestion to have another lunch together, Tao Xi made an excuse to make an appointment with a friend, and hurriedly withdrew with his Daoist Xie.
I'm afraid that if I'm a step too late, the old man will make some trouble again.
When Mama Lin heard that the second young master was leaving, she reluctantly packed a lot of dumplings she had made herself for food.
"It's all frozen, and it's ready to eat as soon as it's thawed. Seeing that you haven't come back these days, you've lost a lot of hunger."
Mother Lin sighed in distress.
Both the master and the young lady seem to be quite satisfied with Mr. Xie, but she is not very happy.
This is too unkind.
The second young master has lost a lot of weight following him, so he must not be able to cook or serve others!
Tao Xi waved his hands again and again.
"Mother Lin, I'm really living a good life. I can order takeaway whenever I want. I really can't go hungry."
Mainly because it is too heavy.
The two of them will go to the side of the mountain to take a taxi in a while.
Mother Lin wanted to say something, but was blocked by the old man.
Tao Haishan handed his son a card.
"Didn't you two start a small company by yourself? After all, you are the boss, and you don't even have a car. How shabby? Go, buy a transportation, don't make people laugh."

The old man has already regarded Comrade Xiao Xie as his daughter-in-law (Dawu) and son-in-law~~~ He has already started to think about whether he will embarrass himself outside 2333333
