Chapter 53: A Warm Time
Shu Xiaoxiang's appearance made everyone feel very surprised, the people who were still eating and drinking just now suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at her in unison, these people are from this village, of course they are familiar with Shu Xiaoxiang, but they never thought that she would come back at this time, but think about it, Xiaoxia is also her daughter, and it should come back, but the atmosphere of the scene at this time seems a little embarrassing.
"Ah, Ah Xiang......" An aunt in the same village looked at her a little uncomfortable, and stammered when she spoke.
Shen Xiangyong looked at her, he was also stunned, his heart trembled a little, he couldn't even believe his eyes, he hadn't seen her for a long time, she had some rouge gouache on her face, she seemed to be younger than before, but her face was also a lot haggard, she really came back? The person next to him, although they are divorced, but in the past year, he has often been constantly reflecting on all this, regretting his original impulse, regretting divorcing her, regretting that he didn't treat her well, he has achieved nothing for so many years, but she has never left, this time I am afraid that I will hurt her by saying something, so I will let her go away! At this moment, she stood here, even though she had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't open a word.
"Mom......" Shen Liang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and said with a throat, "You're back?" "I don't know why, Shen Liang has refused to see her for so long, has always refused to accept her, but now when he sees her, he has no complaints, and even a little distressed, probably his heart has long stopped excluding her, but he has a little mustard, and this is the love between mother and son, how can there be a feud.
"Ah Liang......" Shu Xiaoxiang was also a little excited when he heard his son calling him, looking at him straightly, tears couldn't help but slip down, he hadn't seen his son for so long, he seemed to have matured a lot again, compared to the thin and small man before, now he is much burlier and stronger. He has suffered so much outside, he has long learned to take his responsibility! Shu Xiaoxiang was a little sad, the hardships her son suffered outside were probably not what she could imagine, and she blamed her, a mother, for not fulfilling her responsibilities. Now that she heard that he even had a girlfriend, and at the moment he was calling her in front of her eyes, she felt like she was in a dream.
"It's been a long time, you're a lot haggard." Shen Liang was a little moved, he used to have grievances against his mother, maybe after a long time, his thoughts changed with the experience, and occasionally he thought that she would miss her, those grievances had long been diluted, and he had long wanted to have a meal with her, but he didn't know how to speak.
"When you all grow up, your mother will naturally grow old." Shu Xiaoxiang tried her best to make herself smile, her son was still caring about her, although it was only a shallow sentence, but it was enough to warm her heart.
"Mother, come and sit here." Shen Xia also stood up, turned around and added a pair of chopsticks for her, and made an empty seat for her to sit down, Shu Xiaoxiang smiled at her daughter and nodded, her daughter was really a surprise to her, she never thought that her daughter would have such an outstanding day. Shen Xia also smiled at her, she was called back by Shen Xia, she naturally wouldn't treat her coldly, in fact, she also mentioned it to the third brother, some things have passed for so long, she doesn't want to look at her parents like this, it is also a good choice to be able to reorganize a family, she looked at her father, there were many complicated emotions in his eyes, he probably didn't expect his mother to come back here, after all, she was so disappointed here before.
"Ah Xiang......" Shen Xiangyong's eyes never left Shu Xiaoxiang, and he choked up a little, "You, are you okay outside?" At this time, he didn't even know how to express his feelings, and after thinking about it a lot, he finally picked the simplest thing to say.
"Well, I'm okay, what about you?" Shu Xiaoxiang thought that she was dead set on him, but at this moment she couldn't hide her heart surging, they used to be husband and wife, and they used to be in love, alas, she was used to being lonely and alone in the time she left the Shen family, and now he is similar to everyone else to her, just from the same village.
"It's all good, it's all good." Shen Xiangyong smirked a little, how much he wanted to tell her, he had been thinking that she could come back to the Shen family, how much he wanted to tell her that they would have to live together for the rest of their lives. It's just these words, how can he open his mouth in such a scene.
"That's good, everyone doesn't have to be nervous, just eat and drink, today is my daughter's college banquet, thank you for your support! My daughter is a person with a cold personality, and I hope everyone can bear with me if I have offended. Shu Xiaoxiang tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart, raised her wine glass and said to the people present, her daughter She knew in her heart that although she didn't like some people here, but as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and she didn't want her daughter to offend them too much, and their brothers and sisters would probably come back here often in the future.
"Ah Liang's mother, what you said is serious, everyone is from the same village, it is appropriate to take care of each other, and besides, Xiao Xia is calm, if she is not calm, can she have today's results? Isn't it true that everyone said? An elder from the same village also stood up and laughed and played the round.
"Yes! Yes! We also want our baby to learn from Xiaoxia! ”
"Xiao Xia is also a real character, unlike others who can only talk about flowers." Someone opened their mouths, and everyone became active again, and the atmosphere finally returned to just now.
"Thank you for your understanding, don't stand still, sit down and eat! Ah Liang, don't you introduce your girlfriend to your mother? Shu Xiaoxiang beckoned everyone to sit down, then turned around and asked Shen Liang with a smile, looking at her daughter-in-law is the top priority, she has long wanted to speak, but she has to face everyone, so she has endured it until now.
"I, I, I'll introduce you." Shen Liang scratched his head embarrassedly, and pulled Lian Lili in front of his mother, he hadn't seen his mother for too long, so he was a little excited and forgot about it, "Her name is Lian Lili, and her home is from the Northeast." Even Lili greeted Shu Xiaoxiang a little embarrassed, she was stunned all the time, she didn't expect her future mother-in-law to be such a young beauty, no wonder Xiaoxia looked so standard.
"Okay, I don't know who else is in your family? You are with Ah Liang, do your family know about it? Do they have any opinions? Shu Xiaoxiang was worried about her son's future happiness, and looked at Lian Lili and asked a bunch of questions, and even Lili understood her, which is something that every mother will consider, just like when she told the family that she was patting, her parents kept asking Ah Liang about the situation, and now she naturally won't avoid her questions.
"My parents are still alive at home, and I have a younger brother, who has already told them about me and Ah Liang, and my parents also asked about the situation, and then said that this matter is all up to me."
"That's good! I'm coming back today for Xiao Xia, and I'm also here to meet you, if you choose Ah Liang, stay with him, he's a hard-working child. Shu Xiaoxiang said and took out a jade bracelet from her bag and brought it to her hand, even Lili had seen this style of bracelet at the counter when she went shopping, the price was expensive, she hurriedly shirked it, "Auntie, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!" ”
"Silly boy, is there any reason why this is a meeting gift for my daughter-in-law? Unless you don't want to be my daughter-in-law! One sentence blocked Lian Lili, but she still looked at Shen Liang.
"Since it was given by my mother, you can accept it! Thank you, Mom! Shen Liang comforted Lian Lili, looked at his mother, and was a little surprised by her move, but he was still moved by what she said, she was also like her father, she was worried about their brothers and sisters in her heart!
"There is another one for Xiao Xia for you, I wish my daughter to grow up and become more beautiful, and her studies will get better and better!" Shu Xiaoxiang happily took Shen Xia's hand and brought a similar bracelet for her, Shen Xia was amused by her, it turned out that her mother was such a humorous person.
"Thank you, Mom! You're so beautiful, I'm not bad. Shen Xia also joked, Shu Xiaoxiang took her daughter into her arms, how she wished she could hold her daughter all the time, but she grew up and had her own things to do, how could she stumble her? Being able to covet this moment is already the greatest luxury.
