Midsummer came to the door of Chen's house and saw that the front of his door was cleaned very clean, with couplets pasted on the door, and the doors and windows were wiped clean. It's really like a New Year's holiday.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

In a few moments, a crack opened in the door.

Midsummer was ready to say hello and enter the house.

It was the woman who opened the door, she saw that it was the height of summer, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

Midsummer smiled brightly, "Auntie, Happy New Year." ”

The woman was stunned before she opened the door wide, "Come in." ”

Midsummer walked into the house and put the gifts she had brought with her on the table. The woman was still standing by the door, and she didn't invite him to sit down.

Midsummer pulled up a chair and sat down, and he swept around the room, but he didn't hear any movement.

I thought, isn't her daughter at home?

He smiled kindly at the woman, "Auntie, where's Uncle Chen?"

"He went out. ”

The woman walked over slowly, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Midsummer.

Midsummer took the cup and casually said "thank you".

In fact, he also understands that she will pour him a cup of tea today, perhaps because of their local customs on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.

"Auntie, are you home alone?"

The woman let out an "um".

"Auntie, didn't your daughter come back?

"Gone. Went to work. ”

She stood for a moment, then found a chair and sat down.

Midsummer took a sip of tea and looked at her, "Auntie, let me tell you the truth, this is the seventh time I've come to this town." This is the fifth time I've come to your house. ”

The woman nodded "um", "I know." ”

Midsummer smiled. "Auntie, you know, that's good. ”

The woman pondered for a moment before she said to him, "Do you still insist on asking my daughter for help?"

"Not so. Midsummer smiled.

The woman must have behaved decisively after two days of fierce ideological struggle. "I'd advise you to dismiss this thought. ”

"Why?" asked Midsummer rhetorically.

The woman stopped beating around the bush and wanted to show her thoughts bluntly.

"I'll tell you the truth, my family is just such a daughter, and it is also our dependence, and it is also the hope and reason for us to live. We don't dare to take any more risks. ”

Hearing the word "risk", Midsummer's heart couldn't help but tighten.

That's true. Any surgery, no matter how big or small, carries risks, big or small.

However, at that time, they only considered their own side, and did not think about this issue from the standpoint of others.

Oh, yes. What if it really poses a risk to others?

Midsummer was speechless.

He was silent for a long time before asking, "Auntie, does your daughter work in the county seat?"

"In the city, Tsu City. ”

Midsummer nodded, "Auntie, your daughter should be married, right?"

"Hmm. She has a home and a child. ”

By this time, Midsummer had fully understood their concerns.

Since Yan Yufei was hospitalized with this disease, the doctor only mentioned surgery, but never said what trouble it would bring to the other party.

And he himself was never aware of the problem. It seems that he was still negligent.

At this moment, he really couldn't open his mouth to the woman anymore.

The woman saw that he was finally quiet, and she couldn't bear it. After all, it's her daughter, so she can't be saved when she dies, but she can't be ruthless.

"You'd better go home and think of something else. ”

Midsummer nodded, "I understand your concerns. I didn't think it through, and I only thought about the surgery. ”

The woman said, "We are such a daughter, and we can no longer stand the toss." My daughter is involved in two families, the old and the young. There's really nothing we can do to help you. ”

Midsummer smiled slightly, acting relaxed and natural. "Auntie, I understand your feelings. ”

The woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My daughter has come back twice since you came to our house last year. Seeing that the gifts you sent are very valuable, she also wants us to return them all to you. ”

Midsummer waved her hand and smiled, "Auntie, there's no need." Anyway, your daughter is married to me, and I should come to see you. It's just that I didn't know about your daughter's background before. I only found out about it two days before I first came. In this way, I came to your house with the mentality of giving it a try, and I really found it. ”

The woman was eager to ask how the little daughter was doing, but she was afraid that she would not be able to deal with him if she relented.

Sheng Xia continued: "Auntie, they were sorry for your family in the past, and I hope you don't hold a grudge against them. At that time, their family had no children and had their own struggles. That's why they've been hiding the truth from your daughter. Until now, your daughter didn't know you were her real mother. ”

He saw that her expression was sad, and he stopped talking.

Now that everyone has voiced their concerns, and he hasn't considered them, he can't force them anymore.

Now, as a matter of urgency, he had to hurry home and go to the doctor to ask the question.

Thinking about the night they returned to their home from the Sheng family after the year, she was afraid that she would not have time to be good to their family.

He was also very sad in his heart.

He didn't want to waste time, and after sitting for a while, he got up and took his leave.

Maybe it's the custom of the New Year, but the woman is very hearty today, and she has to stay for lunch in the middle of summer before leaving.

Midsummer didn't want to trouble people and insisted on leaving.

The woman stopped him, saying that all the guests who came to the house for the New Year were guests, and they had to eat before they could leave.

Midsummer is very difficult. After saying a polite word, I insisted on leaving. The woman was still trying to keep him.

While he was talking, the man came back from the door.

Look, it's the middle of summer. He didn't show any disgust.

Midsummer greeted him: "Happy New Year Uncle Chen!"

"You're here, sit down. The man saw that Midsummer was standing with his own woman, and he didn't know what was going on. "Why don't you sit down?"

Midsummer smiled, "Oh. Uncle Chen, I've been at your house for a while, it's time to go. ”

The man waved his hand, "What are you going to do, it's noon, let's go after dinner." ”

Midsummer said as she walked to the door, "No need. Come back next time you have time. ”

The man walked over and stopped him, "Eat and then go." When you come to your home during the Chinese New Year, you have to eat. ”

The woman also said, "Let you eat, I've been talking about it for so long, and you still have to leave." Having a meal won't delay you too long. ”

Midsummer, look at their rare enthusiasm today. Come to think of it, maybe staying for a meal will also deepen the understanding of their family, and maybe even enhance the relationship between each other.

So, he turned around and sat back in his chair.

The man told the woman to hurry up and cook, and he himself was ready to make tea.

The woman went into the house and brought out a large plate of various New Year's flavors, and she handed it to Midsummer.

Midsummer said "thank you" and took the plate and put it on the table in front of him.

The man made tea, poured a cup of tea for Midsummer, and let him eat whatever he wanted.

Because all kinds of cooked food are prepared at home during the Chinese New Year, it is much more convenient to cook when guests come to the house.

In a few moments, the woman made lunch and asked the man to clean up the table.

A large table of home-cooked food close to the countryside in the town, very local characteristics, chicken, duck and fish, as well as a variety of game and vegetables, in addition to seafood, it can be said that there is everything.

The man really regarded Midsummer as a guest, and took out the good wine at home to entertain Midsummer.

But Midsummer made an excuse, saying that he would have to drive home a long distance later, and he couldn't drink.

The woman and the man expressed great regret, but they did not dare to persuade him to drink anymore.

When eating, the woman and the man were also very enthusiastic, taking care of him very thoughtfully, and constantly letting Midsummer eat as much as he wanted.

The woman also said that the vegetables were all grown in the ground, which were natural and pollution-free, so let him eat more.

The man pointed to the chickens, ducks, fish and all kinds of game on the table, and said that they were all raised in the countryside, which could be regarded as pure and natural, and told him to eat whatever he wanted, and you are welcome.

When they were almost halfway through the meal, Sheng Xia suddenly asked them, "Uncle Chen, why did your family move to the town?"

Pride was written on the man's face. "My daughter got a job in the city after graduating from school, and she was worried that it would not be convenient for us to live in the countryside. Besides, she came back to see us from time to time, and it took more time to get back to the country, and she had limited time to rest. So, she insisted that we move to town. Actually, her mother and I don't want to live here. ”

Through his words, Midsummer can conclude that his daughter is very filial to them, and presumably her character should be similar to that fool of his family.

"Uncle Chen, before I came to your house last year, I went to the countryside, the place is very good, and I like it very much. ”

Speaking of the country, the woman took over, "We live well in the country, and we can grow whatever we want." You can also raise chickens and ducks, and you can also raise pigs. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, you don't need to spend money on what you want to eat. If my daughter hadn't asked us to move to town, we wouldn't have come here. ”

"Auntie, your daughter is quite filial. You're still quite blessed. Midsummer boasted.

The man smiled proudly. "It's just such a daughter. She can't shirk it if she wants to. ”

After dinner, after saying thank you in the middle of summer, you have to say goodbye and go home.

The man and the woman brought out the gifts, and they had to take them all with them in the middle of summer.

Midsummer sadly explained to them, "Even if I don't ask for your help. I'm also your son-in-law, so it's right to come to see your two elders. How can you let me take it?"

The woman's face was grim. "I said, you should think about it for us, you have so many valuable gifts in our house, and my daughter will blame us again when she comes back and sees that we did not return them to you. ”

Midsummer smiled at them, "Auntie, did you mention me to your daughter?"

The man told the truth. "How dare we mention you to our daughter! Actually, my daughter doesn't know that we have ever sent a daughter. A few years ago, when my daughter came home and saw the gift you sent, she asked about it, and we had to lie to her, saying that someone had taken a fancy to our house and had to buy it. Every time I came, I brought gifts. ”

When Midsummer heard him say this, he was inexplicably disappointed. Every time he came with hope, it was also for the good of his daughter. However, they made him a man who bought a house.

He was so sad beyond words.

"Oh. I see. He smiled meaningfully, "Uncle Chen, then your daughter also believes your lies?"
