Chapter 61
When Xu Zhengchun and Andy returned to Green Lake, it was already dark outside. I kept standing at the door waiting for them to come back, because it was his birthday and I thought he would see me as soon as he entered the yard.
"Yingzi, it's so cold outside, why are you standing here?"
As soon as the car had not stopped, Xu Zhengchun found me standing alone at the gate. Immediately pushed the car door and got out of the car, unbuttoned my big clothes, wrapped me up and hugged me in my arms.
"I want to wait for you to come back, and I want you to see me as soon as you open the door. β
I dropped my hands on his chest, kissed him on his oily forehead, and took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose.
"Baby, why did you take off my glasses as soon as I got home recently? I can't see anything, how can I accompany you? Besides, I didn't wear them for long today, and my eyes don't hurt. β
Xu Zhengchun was not annoyed that I took off his glasses, but thought that he couldn't see and couldn't accompany me properly. At the same time, he put his face next to mine, smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
"It doesn't matter if you can't see, I'll be your eyes, I'll accompany you. β
I hugged his neck and hung around his neck like a child. He held me in one hand, took Andy's blind cane in the other, and slowly carried me through the fountain up the steps into the foyer.
"Dick, how do you use a cane?"
Governor Xu looked at the blind cane in his son's hand very strangely, and slowly walked into the house, still holding me in his hand.
"Dad, I can't see, it's normal to use a blind cane. This is what Yingzi specially prepared for me because she was afraid that I would fall. β
Xu Zhengchun gently put me down, and then put away the blind cane in his hand. I took him by the hand and led him to the couch in the living room.
Although I know that he is completely unattended, everything in the house is familiar to him. But he still cooperated with me very patiently and agreed to me with a smile.
"I'm fine. β
Xu Zhengchun was afraid that his parents would be worried, so he added.
The second child has never been willing to admit that he can't see it, and now he is willing to admit it. This woman really brought him a lot of changes, and he began to accept himself. Although he didn't need this, he was willing to accept it for the sake of Yingzi.
"Yingzi is by my side, I can't see it, it's not that important anymore. I just hope that she is happy to be by my side every day, and I am very satisfied and happy to hear her voice when I come back from work every day. β
Xu Zhengchun took off his gloves and coat, and Xiao Zhi then put them on the coat rack in the hallway.
He never let me do the work of taking care of him. He said that if Xiao Zhi didn't want to take care of him one day, then he would do these things himself. I'm just his lover and will never have to take care of him. But he will always hold me in his arms.
"Grandpa, you're here too. Tonight, our two grandparents are going to have a few drinks, it's been a long time. β
Xu Zhengchun walked into the living room and immediately invited Mr. Xu to have a few drinks together tonight.
This person is too good, Old Man Xu has never made a sound.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, stay here tonight, we'll keep the New Year together as a family. β
Over the years, Xu Zhengchun has always lived alone, hurriedly went back to the mansion to take a look and hurried back to the hotel, he never felt that the happiness of these family reunions was his.
Now that Yingzi is by his side, he wants his relatives to be together, so that he can have the taste of home, which is the life he is looking forward to.
"Okay, I won't go back this year, I'll celebrate the New Year with you here, Yingzi has also prepared a show tonight, saying that she wants to celebrate the New Year together. β
Xu's mother listened to her son and let them stay, this was the first time in six years, and he would never stay in the mansion for a while before. Now that the family has come together, it is finally like a New Year's reunion.
"Old lady, old man, Madame can prepare for dinner. β
Xiao Zhi respectfully walked to the sofa and invited them to dinner.
"Xiaozhi, don't be so restrained. Relax, let's talk about it today. β
Xiao Zhi felt Xiao Zhi's restraint and nervousness when she helped Xu Zhengchun up. Gently tell her that she and he are a family, and we are all a family.
"Understood, second brother, then I don't have to take care of you tonight. β
Xiao Zhi immediately asked if Xu Zhengchun didn't have to take care of him.
"Ahh If you don't take care of me, then how can I eat? You won't want Yingzi to take care of me, will you?"
When Xu Zhengchun heard it, it turned out that this little girl was waiting for me here.
"Don't worry, second brother, we are a family, I will take care of you. β
As he spoke, he helped Xu Zhengchun to walk towards the restaurant. Xu Zhengchun can actually take care of himself, but sometimes he always finds something for them to do, so that they don't go to heaven.
"Meizi, it's okay if you don't go back, I'm afraid that my mother will scold you. β
Umeko and I chatted while preparing the ingredients.
"No, I haven't been at home for the Spring Festival since you left, and now she thinks I'm going to play somewhere. Besides, it was my dad who asked me to stay with you. β
Umeko comforted me while setting the dishes and chopsticks.
"I told my dad about your situation, and he said that you had nightmares because of the mood swings of the divorce. It'll be fine after a while. β
I wake up from nightmares almost every night and tell me everything to Meizi and tell her what I saw in my dreams. Meizi reported my situation to my father, hoping that he could help me find a solution.
"So, sister, you have to have a good time with the big pig's trotters now. He gives you a sense of peace and makes you feel less prone to nightmares. β
I heard Meizi say this, and nodded seriously.
"Dad said he would come over after the New Year, and he wanted to see you get married. He said he wouldn't miss it this time. β
Meizi has another piece of good news for me.
In the evening, the whole family eats hot pot. On the one hand, it is because I like to eat hot pot, and on the other hand, I can't cook, and my plum skills are not very good, and Xiaozhi's cooking skills are not much different from mine. A couple of men can cook, but all of them are not at home. So Xiaozhi and Meizi had to go to the market to buy a lot of ingredients for eating hot pot, and they ate hot pot tonight.
"Yingzi, let's eat this for the New Year?"
Xu Zhengchun heard the sound of gurgling water on the table with his ears sideways, and he had already guessed what we were going to eat tonight.
"This oneββ, that oneββ, all right! We admit that the three women are not good at cooking, and we can only do it tonight. β
I lowered my head in embarrassment and didn't do anything to explain why I could only eat hot pot during the Chinese New Year.
"The hot pot is good, and the family eats so lively. This one is called in full swing. β
As soon as Old Man Xu saw the hot pot on the table, he immediately became interested. This hot pot is to be lively when there are more people to eat.
"Grandpa, that's not how the word hot is used, why are you using idioms like Yingzi now?"
As soon as Xu Zhengchun heard that his grandfather also used words indiscriminately, he immediately smiled and corrected Old Man Xu for using the wrong idiom.
"I learned from Yingzi, what did she think of and say. I racked my brains to find this inappropriate word. β
Old Man Xu didn't mind that his grandson said that he used inappropriate words, and he deliberately teased himself.
"How good this hot pot is, so that there is an atmosphere of the New Year. Xiao Miao, you say yes, right?"
Mother Xu also agreed. Then he threw me an excellent look.
"Come, let's have liquor in the hot pot tonight. However, I made a point of preparing red wine for a few ladies. Although Xiao Miao is also a lady, you can only drink drinks. β
Xu Bangguo looked at the hot pot on this table and knew that it was the masterpiece of the three women who couldn't cook, so he immediately ran to get good wine. I'm going to have a drink together tonight. In addition, the second child has not had a birthday with everyone for six years, and it is the Spring Festival. Tonight is a real bonus, so be sure to celebrate as a family.
"Okay! Let's get started. Don't let down the hard work of our three ladies. β
I found a problem, Xu Zhengchun is sitting in the main seat, and his grandfather is sitting in the main and guest seats. I whispered to Xiaozhi that Xu Zhengchun was sitting in the wrong place. Xiao Zhi just smiled and said, there is no mistake in sitting, it should have been sitting like this.
Although I was very confused, I didn't want to ask too much, because Xiao Zhi couldn't answer me because there were some questions. And I found out that Xiao Miao, as his daughter, was only sitting next to her grandmother and was far away from him.
"Jeong-chun, thank you for taking care of us sisters, I'll drink this cup with you. β
I picked up the red wine in my hand and turned to Xu Zhengchun. Xu Zhengchun was startled at first, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
My little girl, my baby. It's me who thank you, thank you for coming to me.
"Yingzi, it's me who thank you, I drank this cup, and I drank your cup. I just want to say to you that I really, really love you. β
Xu Zhengchun took the white wine in his hand and drank it all, and then drank the red wine I took a small sip of.
"I have a gift for you, you wait, I'll get it for you. β
I took the cup from his hand and put it on the table, and ran to the closet in the dining room to get the box that I had prepared.
"You want to give me a gift?"
Xu Zhengchun's face was both happy and surprised. I'm a little bit of a picker for him. How do you know how to prepare a gift?
"Well, this one is for you. β
I put the big box in his arms and he reached for it.
Then they all stood up and poked their heads out to look. Especially Old Man Xu, who ran the fastest.
"Second brother, open it and take a look, Yingzi has been preparing for a long time. β
Xiao Zhi also stood up and put Xu Zhengchun's hand on the bow on the box.
"Yingzi, can you tell me what this is first? You don't have a stack of cash or a cauliflower in it. Because I can only think that you will send this. β
He laughed as he spoke. Everyone laughed too.
"No, don't laugh, I'm not that cheesy, you can open it and see for yourself. β
I saw that they were laughing at me, and I was a little anxious, urging him to open it.
"That's right, big pig's trotters, you open it and take a look, my sister has put a lot of thought into it. β
Meizi also began to urge Xu Zhengchun, because the two of them only saw me in front, and not in the back.
"Yingzi, can you give me glasses? β
Xu Zhengchun still didn't open the box, I don't know why he didn't open it, but I still took the glasses to help him put them on.
I watched him slowly unwrap the box, his fingers trembling, like he was opening a treasure.
"You knitted this?"
Xu Zhengchun opened the box, and inside was an off-white cashmere sweater. The cumbersome vertical pattern, although it is not clear to see, but the moment the fingers touch it, the fingers tremble violently. My little girl knitted me a sweater, it was a sweater, and my little girl knitted a sweater for me.
"Yes, it took a long time to weave it. Do you want to try it, I secretly measured your size at night, it should be appropriate. β
I looked at him and asked him if he wanted to try it.
"Good. Be sure to try it, wear it, wear it all the time. β
Xu Zhengchun's voice was a little trembling and a little hoarse. Tears in his left eye.
As he spoke, he stood up and immediately took off his suit, the vest inside, and only wore a white shirt. Picked up his sweater and put it on the outside of his shirt, and put his glasses back on.
"I'll see. β
I stood up, stepped over to him, and helped him get it in order.
"I'll just say, it's just right. β
When I helped him get in front of him, he hugged me and kissed me in front of all of them, and the smell of wine came from his mouth.
I couldn't breathe anymore, so he wanted to let go of me, but he still held me in his arms.
"Why are you like this, a whole family is watching. β
As a result, I turned my head and found that they quickly ran back to their places one by one and sat down, holding chopsticks and picking vegetables in the pot, completely ignoring what had just happened.
"Have you been knitting for a long time, are you tired? Show me your hands, are there any injuries?"
As he spoke, he took my hand and touched it one by one, for fear of hurting it a little. And I saw his tears slipping down his left eye.
"No, I'll only do this, think about it, I can only give you this for your birthday. Because you don't lack anything else, and this sweater is my heart. β
I put his hand in the place of my heart and told him that my heart was here.
Xu Zhengchun smiled and hugged me tightly in his arms.
When I turned my head, I was obviously interested in seeing them one by one, but I didn't see them.
"We're afraid of long needles. β
"You dog food is a bit harsh, I need to have a drink to suppress the shock. β
"We didn't see anything. β
"Can't wait, huh, go upstairs. We'll keep it for you.
"Am I going to hold my grandchildren again?"
A few of them said a word, and as they spoke, they put vegetables in our bowls.
"Baby, I love this birthday present so much, I love it so much. I'm going to wear it all the time, wear it all the time. β
Thank you, little girl. Although you have never said that you love me, you always say that you are telling me with your actions that you actually love me, but you don't want to say your love like me. My little girl, I love you, and I will always be with you and protect you.
