Chapter 45: Mother and Daughter's Night Talk
"Mom, what are the hobbies of my grandfather and grandmother? What gifts should I prepare for them?" After dinner, Xiao Ruo went to Yang Bing's room and discussed with her about going to Yang's house the next day.
Yang Bing was very pleased that her daughter was so attentive, she knew Xiao Ruo's character of not caring about everything, and she also knew that it was because of herself that she attached so much importance to the Yang family's trip, but she didn't want her daughter to be too angry with her family, so she persuaded: "You don't need to prepare anything specially, as long as you go back, they will be happy to see you."
Xiao Ruo shook his head: "When you go to see the elders, etiquette is indispensable. Besides, this is the first time I've been to see my grandparents, so it's time to prepare some gifts, so just tell me about it. ”
"Okay." Yang Bing also agreed with Xiao Ruo to bring some gifts in her heart, she also knew that with her daughter's generosity, it must be worth a lot, she just felt that between relatives, it was important to the heart, so she could only persuade while explaining: "Your grandfather is an old drunkard and likes good wine." You don't have to worry about your grandmother, you must vote for her, because she likes cooking the most. I think that with my family's cooking skills, I will be able to conquer your grandmother in an instant. Gifts or something, as long as you have your heart, they won't care about it, don't forget, we are family. ”
"We are family". said that Xiao Ruo's heart was warm, she felt that she must have been accumulating character in her first two lives, so she concentrated in this life and exploded. How else could she be so happy?
"Mom, do you know the size of grandpa and grandma's clothes? I don't have time right now, and now that autumn is coming, I'll take the time to make them autumn clothes. That's right. How is my grandparents' health? Forget it, I'll know tomorrow when I take the pulse. Xiao Ruo said to himself, and then kept searching in the Chaos Bead, and then his eyes lit up.
"Well, then, I still have a lot of old sake here, and it tastes okay. I don't know if my grandfather likes it or not. Grandma's words, I'll put together a recipe later. I got a lot of good materials last time, and I made a lot of jade pendants, so I'll sort out a copy later......"
Yang Bing just looked at Xiao Ruo there with broken thoughts, and after a while, he had already added a lot of things to the gift list. Hurriedly stopped the girl who seemed to be nervous with a smile: "Ruoruo! Are you doing something wrong? Or are you actually preparing your own dowry? And if you take so many things, they will think that you are separated from them. ”
Xiao Ruo, who was immersed in thoughts, raised his head in confusion: "Really? That's it. That's right!" She suddenly screamed as if she remembered something, "Will only my grandparents be at home tomorrow?"
Yang Bing was also stunned, thought for a while, and said, "It should be everyone here." After all, it's your first time coming home, and your uncle and they all want to see you, as well as your cousins. ”
Xiao Ruo was depressed, and she had to continue thinking about it.
"Don't bother with them. One of your eldest and second uncle's cigarettes, wine and tea can be sent away, the two aunts can dress up, your cousin and cousin can just take anything, and the girls' trinkets will do. Yang Bing was afraid that this girl would think about it for a long time, so he immediately suggested.
"Okay, I'll ask Anthony to contact the AAA store here and send a discount card, okay?" Xiao Ruo nodded, these relatives, she actually didn't want to deal with them, but she still had to express it.
"Discount card for a triple-A store?" Yang Bing looked at Xiao Ruo with shiny eyes. "You have?"
"Of course, AAA Group is the Langton family's property." Xiao Ruo looked at Yang Bing suspiciously, "When I first came up with this name, it was because Arthur and their English names were all called A. ”
Yang Bing then remembered that her daughter was still the head of the Langton family, and she hadn't asked about these things yet, but when she talked about it, she just solved her doubts: "Ruoruo, how did you become the head of the Langton family?"
"This ......" was asked this question for the first time since returning to China. Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Alice, who had passed away. Now that I think about it, it seems that she is still by her side, her voice and appearance, every smile and smile are in her mind. It never went away.
"Ruo Ruo ......" Yang Bing saw that the indifferent smile that Xiao Ruo had been hanging on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were also unfocused to look behind him, his gaze was far-reaching, revealing a look of reminiscence. Worried, I couldn't help but scream.
Xiao Ruo came back to her senses, sighed, and talked to Yang Bing about Alice.
“…… That's the way it is, I promised Alice to be a successful head of the family, and I vowed to her that I would make the Langton family a presence that anyone looks up to, and fortunately it is doing well now. I also promised her that she would return to China in three years, so I only see you now, Mom, don't be angry. ”
Yang Bing shook his head and gently stroked Xiao Ruo's long hair: "Mom won't be angry, I'm very grateful to her, she is an elder worthy of respect, it's hard for her to teach you so well." And your mom and dad, I thank them too, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you. Ruoruo, I missed you so much, so incompetent, why don't you scold me? Why do you want to recognize me?"
Thinking of so many things that my daughter had experienced, I didn't know anything. But except for the first meeting, she showed herself so intimately and filial to herself the rest of the time, Yang Bing was ashamed and ashamed, and asked Xiao Ruodao with a choked voice.
Xiao Ruo was stunned by this question, and he also pondered.
Why?
"Because, I'm also a mother." After a long time, Xiao Ruo's eyes gradually cleared, and he sighed and said, "Moreover, Mom, you have never given up on me, so I will not give up on you." I have known since I was a child that I can only survive if I hold on to every warmth around me. ”
Yang Bing was shocked, thinking of Xiao Ruo's previous description, her heart was even more uncomfortable, Xiao Ruo could talk about the past so indifferently, but she couldn't accept it anyway, not even imagining. As long as she thinks of the suffering that her daughter has suffered, her heart aches.
"Okay, that's all in the past. Actually, I was also lucky that I met my parents, as well as Master Tai and my uncles. Later, when I went abroad, Alice took care of me and had children. Now that I have you again, I will have more in the future, this is already God's compensation for me, and I am very content. ”
Xiao Ruo took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears that fell from Yang Bing's face at some point, and smiled hard: "Isn't Mom asking about AAA's discount card?" I'll give you a free card, and you'll have the choice of what's in it. ”
"Okay, then mom is welcome, you girl is capable, 3A Group, whether it is a hotel or other industries, is second to none, Mom is proud of you!" Yang Bing also woke up to the fact that her emotions were too intense, what were she thinking, her daughter was already by her side, and she could use the rest of her life to be good to her. And such a powerful daughter, who can compare!
Xiao Ruo smiled helplessly, children are always the pride in the eyes of their mothers, why shouldn't she?
"Alright, don't praise me. If it weren't for the Langton family's good foundation, how could I be where I am now? Also, I promised Alice that she would recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but the Xiao family ......, "Once you arrive in the capital, you will inevitably face this problem that makes Xiao Ruo have a headache, and she has no good way to do it so far."
Yang Bing pursed her lips, although she couldn't speak ill of her elders, she still couldn't help but slander her father-in-law's unkindness, and she didn't care about the hearts of foreign girls, but as a result, they raised Xiao Ruo so well, and gave her the whole family, and persuaded him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. She has a good relationship with her mother-in-law Zhang Yun, but this does not prevent her from falling for the foreign old lady's firmness in her feelings.
"Cheap them, your dad and they can't ask for it."
"But I don't want to have too much to do with them, well, I don't dislike him, but the Xiao family doesn't feel very good about me, and I don't like the breath on Xiao Chu's body." Xiao Ruo frowned and said bluntly.
"Who would like that kind of atmosphere of officialdom corruption?" Yang Bing was very disdainful, although she had a good relationship with Xiao Lin, but she was born in a military family and was very unaccustomed to the fox appearance of the Xiao family. But she can't control her son, it is impossible for the Xiao family not to practice "Qingyun Jue", and the education they received when they were young is also in that aspect, and as a result, the relationship between her daughter and her son is so poor, she will not give the Xiao family a good face for this.
"So what should I do?" Xiao Ruo looked distressed.
Yang Bing was also very embarrassed. It is impossible not to do what she promised the deceased, but she didn't want to be cheap to the Xiao family, it was a big thing to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors in Huaxia, and since then Xiao Ruo has been labeled as the Xiao family, and she can't escape if she wants to.
"Why don't you work with something?" Yang Bing came up with an idea.
Xiao Ruo's eyes lit up, which was a good idea.
"Mom, do you know what the Xiao family needs recently?" The news from the upper echelons in China still asked Yang Bing to come faster.
Yang Bing thought for a long time before he said apologetically to his daughter: "I'm sorry, Ruoruo, I don't pay much attention to this, why don't I ask your grandfather tomorrow."
Xiao Ruo nodded, and that could only be the case.
