Chapter 77: Pears
There is a saying that "illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread", for a person who has a bad system and does not often get sick, an ordinary wind chill is enough to be described as menacing.
He Zhi lay on the hospital bed in a groggy state for two days - although she herself felt that she was not so strict, but whether it was Wei Lai, who was too nervous, or Xi Qiu, who was too frightened, they persuaded her to stay in bed to recuperate-After two days, even Miss He, who was not very active, also had a feeling that her bones were crispy.
In two days, there is naturally enough opportunity for He Zhi and Xi Qiu to be alone. It's a pity that even so, Miss He was embarrassed to ask the question of who changed the clothes on her body, especially after she saw Xi Qiu hugging the middle coat she had changed into to wash as usual, this question was even more unspeakable.
And no matter how much Miss He secretly cares about it, Wei Lai has brushed up on the feeling of saving in front of Miss He in the past two days, three meals a day plus three bowls of medicine, and he has to appear in front of He Zhi at least six times. In addition, he also found an opportunity to get in front of Miss He, with a posture of wanting to make up for the time wasted in the "Cold War".
No, in the afternoon, when it was better to eat and drink medicine, Wei Lai ran to He Zhi's house with a bowl again.
He Zhi's temperament can be quiet when she says that she can calm down, and she really loves activities more than those ladies in the capital. She was sick in the past two days, and Xi Qiu and Wei Lai both advised her to recuperate in the house, and she stayed in bed obediently without much entanglement. It's just that although I was drowsy after getting sick, I slept for a long time, and it wasn't always so comfortable.
When Wei Lai entered the room with a bowl, He Zhi was half-sitting on the bed reading a book.
She was originally going to follow Wei Lai back to her hometown, in addition to cultivating her feelings, she also dealt with the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship" in advance by the way, and the books she brought were just for fear of boredom on the road to relieve boredom, so naturally not much. In addition, she was always alone in the house a few days ago, and she had read these books more than once, and when she looked at them again, her mind was not as focused as when she first read them.
As soon as Wei Lai entered the door, He Zhi noticed it. She raised her head slightly, her eyes moving from the book in her hand to the person who stepped through the door: "Why is it here again?" ”
People and people's feelings always come out, and the most needed thing to cultivate feelings is only the word "time". In the past few days, Wei Lai has brushed up on the feeling of saving in front of He Zhi, and coupled with the easing of the relationship between the two before, this time it seems much closer. The same sentence may have been cold a few days ago, but now it is a little casual and even intimate.
Wei Lai could naturally detect the difference, and she was in a good mood with a smile that her eyebrows were crooked, and she said as she walked to the side of the bed: "When I went to Huichun Hall to grab medicine today, I happened to see someone selling pears. You've been caught with a cold for the past few days, and I'm afraid your throat won't be comfortable, so I bought some and just boiled some pear soup for you to taste. ”
As he spoke, Wei Lai had already walked to the side of the bed and handed over the bowl with the pear soup in his hand.
He Zhi looked at the pear soup in the bowl, and then raised her eyes to look at Wei Lai, and unexpectedly saw a hint of invitation to please her eyes, so she couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart - Wei Lai's childish appearance was really far from the calmness she had thought.
I took the bowl and took a bite, the faint pear fragrance was sweet, and my throat, which had been dry for a few days, was moisturized almost immediately, and I felt a lot more comfortable. So He Zhi discovered another advantage of Wei Lai - careful and caring.
He Zhi has not seen many couples getting along, but whether it is parents or brother and sister-in-law, men are always careless when getting along. It's like being sick too, the father and brother go to his wife at most to take a look, and then say two words to the next person, which is considered to be the heart, how have you personally considered what is uncomfortable with the sick wife, and what she needs?
Even if people are always ready, it always feels different.
At this time, He Zhi didn't want to think about why she would compare Wei Lai with her father and brother. If it must be investigated, then it can only be said that the relationship between her and Wei Lai is that of an unmarried couple.
She and Wei Lai are either husband and wife or passers-by. Other than that, nothing else.
"This pear soup, can you still eat it?" Seeing that He Zhi didn't react for a long time after taking the next bite, Wei Lai couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She is actually not very good at taking care of people, since she can remember, she has guarded against the approach of everyone except her mother, and He Zhi is the first person who asked her to take the initiative to let go of her mind to get closer.
This pear soup, she boiled it for the first time, and He Zhi was also the first to drink it.
Fortunately, Miss He was very face-saving, and after she suddenly came back to her senses, she raised her lips and smiled: "The pear soup is delicious, Ah Lai bothered." ”
At first glance, when he heard the more affectionate title of "Ah Lai" from He Zhi's mouth, Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he was only full of joy. She seemed to have really seen hope, and even her eyes were a little brighter than before, and her face was full of smiles: "Jinrui, what do you want to eat at night?" I'll do it for you. ”
He Zhi looked at Wei Lai, who was almost overjoyed, and the smile on her face did not change: "Just be lighter." ”
*****************************************************************
When Wei Lai returned to the kitchen with the empty bowl, he was still wondering if he was too easily satisfied. Obviously, Miss He didn't say a superfluous word, she just called herself "Ah Lai", and she couldn't help but be so happy.
But when I think about it, I'm still happy.
Wei Lai stepped into the kitchen door briskly, and the smile on his face was not restrained, and he was looked at by Aunt Wei, who was making cured meat. I don't know if it's an illusion, Wei Lai always felt that his mother's gaze at him in the past two days was a little strange......
"Ah Lai, are you happy?" Aunt Wei looked at Wei Lai with an unpredictable expression.
"Uh...... Mother, Jinrui's illness has improved a lot, and I am naturally happy. Wei Lai restrained his joy a little, but he didn't shy away from mentioning He Zhi. It's just that she faintly felt in her heart that her mother probably saw something, after all, she was an old man who had lived for decades, even if she was trapped in this town, she would not lose experience.
Hearing Wei Lai's outspokenness, Aunt Wei was silent for a while. Because Wei Lai didn't deliberately hide it, she really saw some signs, but she couldn't mention it, especially when Wei Lai, the client, didn't mind the eyes of others - she deprived Wei Lai of her identity as a woman twenty years ago, and today, where is Wei Lai's way back?
Many years ago, Aunt Wei thought that after her death, Wei Lai would probably be lonely and helpless in this life. But even if they knew this for a long time, they had no choice, because if they didn't do this, Wei Lai's life would probably be over long ago.
Aunt Wei actually didn't want to care about the matter between Wei Lai and He Zhi. Even if the signs she saw were unethical and made her somewhat unacceptable in her selfish heart, it would be a blessing if someone could really be by her side after a hundred years. So after asking this question, Aunt Wei resumed her silence again, lowered her head and continued to make her cured meat.
It was Wei Lai, after facing Aunt Wei's gaze, his heart was inexplicably a little empty.
She put down the bowl, her eyes swept to the small half-box of pears that she had moved back earlier, and after thinking about it, she picked up a big one and began to peel it, and said without words: "Mother, this cured meat is ready today, right?" ”
Aunt Wei replied without raising her head: "Well, the cured meat can be made today, and if the bacon is smoked tomorrow, the pig will be almost the same." ”
Wei Lai's movements were very fast, and he peeled the pear in his hand with just two sentences. She walked to Aunt Wei in three or two steps, and handed the peeled pears directly to Aunt Wei's mouth: "Mother, taste the pears I bought this morning, they are sweet." ”
Aunt Wei, who was flattered, finally raised her eyes and glanced at Wei Lai, this scene reminded her of the past. Although Wei Lai was well-behaved and sensible when he was young, there would always be times when children got into trouble or asked for something from their parents, and Wei Lai at that time would try his best to please her, and Aunt Wei rarely refused.
The mother and son looked at each other quietly for a moment, Aunt Wei never opened her mouth, and Wei Lai did not take the pear away, and for a while it was like a stalemate......
After a while, in the end, it was Aunt Wei who relented first, opened her mouth and took a bite on the snow-white pear.
Seeing this, Wei Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still smiling as usual: "Mother, this pear is delicious, right?" ”
"Nature is delicious." Aunt Wei never denied it, but there was a little helplessness in her eyes: "It's just that you buy so many pears, but you don't give them to your mother." ”
Wei Lai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, his eyes wandered, and he touched his nose uncomfortably with the hand that didn't hold the pear.
It is undeniable that when he saw someone selling pears today, Wei Lai's first reaction was to think that he could make pear soup for He Zhi to drink, and after the pears were bought, he did use them to boil pear soup first. Now I want to peel pears for the old lady to please, it's really a little late.
Although Aunt Wei didn't say it explicitly, Wei Lai understood that she really already knew. This is not counting, judging from what Aunt Wei said just now, it is almost clear that Wei Lai "has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother...... Kneel and beg to return to the field
