Cheng Jiahui expressed his composure on this matter, I knew that he was a reserved child, but his calmness still surprised me.

He stood at my desk and hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth to ask me, "Can I call you Auntie all the time?" ”

I looked at him in some surprise and said, "Don't you really want us to be a family?" ”

Cheng Jiahui hesitated for a while, lowered his head and rubbed his fingers against the tabletop and said, "Yes, but I still think it's better to call you Auntie."

Knowing that his mother might still be alive, I asked, "Is it because of your mother?" Where is she now? ”

His hand stopped on the table for a moment, and after a long time he said, "She's pathetic," and then turned his face to the side and stopped talking.

A tear flashed in his eyes, I pretended not to see it, lowered my head, reached out and patted his hand on the table, and said, "I understand, it's okay to call anything, I am not only your elder, but also your friend, as you said, we are a family all the time together."

Li Haoyu looked a little depressed, looked at me and asked uneasily, "Are you going to move out?" ”

I smiled and shook my head and said, "No."

"Is Cheng Jiahui's father moving into our house?"

"No, it won't change, we're still living like before," I said in a calm tone.

Li Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief with joy on his face, and then looked at me puzzled: "Then why did you marry that person?" ”

I touched his face and said, "Just so that nothing will change as it is now, we can guard each other with peace of mind, watch you grow up, and you will all have a family in the future, and then your mother will be old and you won't have to trouble you."

Li Haoyu looked at me for a while and asked, "Mom, are you worried that I will get married when I grow up and leave, and there will be no one to take care of you in the future?" ”

"This is one of the reasons, but the main thing is that I want you to have a friend forever, don't you like Cheng Jiahui?"

"I like Cheng Jiahui, but you also like him, will you like him more in the future?"

I laughed, took him by the shoulders and said, "Silly son, how is this possible?" How could such a stupid question be asked! Mom is doing this for you, in order not to cause trouble to you in the future, don't you like Mom getting married? ”。

Li Haoyu broke free of my arm and looked at me and said: "No, I like that there are many people in the family, although there were grandparents in the family before, but they are old people and I have nothing to say, you are busy with work, but as soon as you talk to me, talk about studying, which makes me very annoying." I think Cheng Jiahui and his father are very good. Mom, Cheng Jiahui said that his father is very good at kung fu, and he can't beat his father, he said that when he grows up, he can do it, and he is now exercising every day."

I looked at Li Haoyu with some surprise: "Why did Cheng Jiahui fight with his father?" ”

Li Haoyu was also a little dazed when I asked: "I don't know, I just heard Cheng Jiahui say this, I just think Cheng Jiahui and his father are very cool, they are both men."

I suddenly felt that my eyes were a little sour, in Li Haoyu's growth process, the lack of his father was a regret, his heart was longing for the more powerful manly image, longing for the kind of collision and confrontation between men, although I am not a mother-in-law but a woman after all, his weak character is inseparable from the environmental impact of his growth, he is really grown up now.

My parents could only acquiesce in what I had forced in front of them, and my father was a little disappointed but just sighed and said no more. My mother patted my hand very well and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of man you are looking for, as long as you are in good health, you can be good to you wholeheartedly, and you can take care of you in old age, is the most important thing, this person is a clean person with diligent hands and feet, no matter what, I believe that he will at least be good to you wholeheartedly, and will accompany you to take care of you when you are old, and other rights and money are all empty, they are all for others to see, and the good behind closed doors is really good for yourself." We can't stay with you for long, my son can't be relied on, you are a smart person who knows what is best for you. We've been worried that your heart is too high and you won't marry again for the rest of your life, what will you do when your dad and I are gone? ”。

I put my arm around my mother's shoulder, leaned on her shoulder and said, "Mom, don't worry, you and Dad, I know what I'm doing."

Although we are married to Cheng Shaojie, we rarely live together. It is the busy season of spring sowing, and Cheng Shaojie basically lives in Linshui Village. He felt that my coldness was not strong and I was difficult, no matter what was up to my will, as if as long as he married me as a wife, he would have nothing else to ask for, and his concession and forbearance made me feel at ease, and this marriage did not become a burden for me.

After making an appointment with Xinhui to Lido's Garden, she looked around after entering the house and said, "You cleaned up this house again?" Nothing he left behind."

I poured her a cup of tea, put it on the coffee table, and said lightly: "Everything that can be collected before" has been collected."

Xinhui looked at me and said suspiciously, "You asked Cheng Shaojie to come here?" ”

"I live here with him," I said calmly.

Xinhui glanced at me, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked out the window and said, "I really don't understand you sometimes, I thought you would stay here alone forever."

I chuckled, "What are you doing with it alone?" To miss him? I want to forget him here, I can only really forget him here, I can't let him ruin the rest of my life."

Xinhui looked around and was silent for a moment: "I can't figure out why you married Cheng Shaojie, just to forget him?" , is it because of Cheng Jiahui and Li Haoyu? ”

I smiled slightly and said: "There are many reasons, Xinhui, maybe it's because I'm too strong, God never wants me to sit back and enjoy it, so let me create my own future, I only have this life, I don't want Wu Tianyang and Chen Jingde to be ruined like this."

When I handed over the bank card to Xinhui, she took the card and bowed her head for a long time before saying, "Still, you are not short of money, and you are not greedy for money, what do you want to do with this?" Why? ”

I looked at Xinhui and smiled slightly and said, "I don't want his money, but I want him to give everything he has to me wholeheartedly, whether it is Wu Tianyang or Chen Jingde, they haven't done it." I thought I was a qiē of Wu Tianyang, but I underestimated the temptation of power and money to men, let alone Chen Jingde. I don't want anything to happen to this person now, especially since nothing can happen during the two children's school years."

"Aren't you at ease with this person either? He's just a peasant, dare not listen to you? Xinhui said disapprovingly.

"People are the most unreliable things, especially a man with money in his hands, you don't know what he will do! Don't underestimate this man, I don't think he's a fuel-efficient lamp."

"And what do you want to do with him? Are you afraid that if he has money like Ding **, he will provoke other women outside? I don't think he will, and besides, I don't think you'll love him, so do you care about that? ”。

"A man is not just looking for a woman when he is looking for something outside, he is married to me, and he has money in his hands, I am afraid that he will be restless and toss things outside, and I am determined to take this step for the sake of quietness. Therefore, first of all, we must control him, spend the past three years smoothly, and let the children be admitted to university smoothly. As for the future, if possible, I want to turn him into the person I want, if it is not what I want in the end, I can give up at any time, and I want to always take the initiative in this matter," I said with a flat look but a firm tone.

Xinhui looked at me and sighed and said, "Still, I think you have changed back to the old you, so determined and confident in what you want to do. During the period of time since that person left, I have always felt that you are just a person here, but your heart is getting farther and farther away from us, and sometimes the person who is facing you does not know where your heart is, and what is in front of us is just a shadow. Still, in my heart I have always been very convinced of you, you are very casual in small things, but you have always been very assertive in big things, and I believe that everything you want to do has a purpose. Ding ** saw that you found a farmer and felt that his identity had improved a lot all of a sudden, and he was very complacent in front of me, but I believe that what you see is different from what they see, and what you want is different from what they think."

I was grateful for Xinhui's understanding and thoughtfulness, reached out and took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will live well, this is my own life, I will not live up to it."

Zheng Duo called me to his office, only glanced at me, then turned his face to look out the window and asked, "Are you really married to a peasant?" ”

"Yes," I replied faintly

He let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair decadently, bowed his head and said nothing, and only nodded after a while and said, "Okay, only you Lin can still do such a thing" and then stopped talking.

I was also silent, I had nothing to say about it, and like everyone else, Zheng Duo didn't know what to say to me.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then I stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

Zheng Duo raised his eyes and looked at me and asked, "What do I say to Chen Yixiao?" ”

I stood for a moment and said quietly, "Tell the truth!" ”
