Chapter 399: Pursuit
When Zhang Xiu came to Amy's house to help the next day, it didn't look quite right.
When she sat alone in front of the stove and lit the fire, she smiled for a while, and then showed a very distressed expression.
Amy secretly took Zhang Qiang aside and asked:
"Qiangqiang, has your mother encountered something recently?"
Zhang Qiang knew that Amy was the one who saved his life, and trusted her 100% in his heart, and replied without concealment:
"That's right, when my mother and I went to see Uncle Zou yesterday, Zou and Ming fed my mother cakes to eat, and asked my mother if she wanted to be with him, saying that he would treat me like a son. Sister Xiaomi, Uncle Zou is a good person, good to me and my mother, if my mother also likes him, I am willing to let him be my father, I think he will make my mother very happy. ”
Amy breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a happy event.
She thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"What about you, do you like Uncle Zou? If Uncle Zou were your father, wouldn't you be sad? ”
Zhang Qiang has been in poor health since he was a child, and he is always bullied by other children at home, and he followed Zhang Xiu to Jiangcheng, and saw the disgusting things that his father Song Yuejin did, and it was easy to have some small psychological problems.
Amy knows that for Zhang Xiu, the most important thing in this world is Zhang Qiang.
Even if Zhang Xiu really likes Zou and Ming, if Zhang Qiang doesn't like it, she will never agree to Zou Youming's pursuit.
"I like Uncle Zou, I like it very much, Uncle Zou is very good to me, when my mother is busy, he reads to me, tells me stories, and plays with me. I think Uncle Zou is more like my father than the previous father. If he really became my dad, my mom and I would be very happy. Sister, I don't know if my mother likes my uncle or not, can you help me ask, I don't dare to ask. ”
Children don't lie, they say what they think in their hearts.
When Zhang Qiang mentioned Song Yuejin, his expression was not very good-looking, and he was very unhappy.
But when he talked about Zou and Ming, all that was left was his heart full of worship.
That's the big hero in his heart, the kind that can protect his mother.
Amy watched his eyebrows flutter and patted him on the head.
"My sister knows, and she will definitely help you ask, and if my mother also likes my uncle, I will tell you secretly. Okay, go and do your homework with Niu Niu, you're going to school next year. ”
"Well, sister, don't forget."
Zhang Qiang instructed uneasily, and then ran to Niuniu's side.
In the kitchen, Zhang Xiu had already skillfully boiled the first pot of sour plum soup and put it in the freshly dug well water on the side to ice.
Now the weather is the hottest time, and everyone likes to come to buy cool and silky sour plum soup to drink.
She is from the countryside, she can't read, she can only grow some crops, or she does hard work.
The current job, with a high salary and stability, is much faster than the previous work on the dock, which is as beautiful as a dream for Zhang Xiu.
She was taken care of by Amy so much, there was no other way to repay, so she could only do what she was doing well and help Grandma Wang do more housework.
Even if she was very messy today, she didn't dare to be sloppy at all, for fear that things would not taste good because of her own problems.
"Xiuxiu, come over and rest for a while."
Amy takes the cut watermelon and brings the person out of the steaming kitchen.
The more time Zhang Xiu spent with her, the more she knew that she didn't like those vain polite words, so she didn't push, but took the watermelon and took two bites.
"This melon is so sweet."
Amy picked up another piece of watermelon and ate it aside.
"It's sweeter than the mouth, and I don't know where grandma bought it."
Amy is not very good at talking around the corner, but it is not good to ask Zhang Xiu directly if she likes Zou Youming, who should be called her aunt.
Zhang Xiu immediately found out that she had something to say, and took the initiative to ask if there was anything to ask.
Amy coughed twice, put down the watermelon rind that had been gnawed clean in her hand, and said:
"Qiang Qiang is still young, you are so young, have you ever thought about finding another partner?"
Zhang Xiu's face instantly turned as red as freshly cooked shrimp.
"How, how did you remember to say this? It's good that I'm strong alone. ”
Zhang Xiu is an orphan, and of course she has to be strong since she was a child, so that others dare not bully her.
Originally, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed when it came to finding a partner, but who let Zou and Minggang say that kind of thing to her yesterday.
Is he afraid that if he doesn't agree, he will find Amy's head and ask her to persuade him to fail?
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Xiu felt more and more uncomfortable on her face.
"Qiang Qiang is a boy, and when he grows up, it is more appropriate to have a father teach some things. If you meet the right person, you can look everywhere, but if you can't do it, you can break up again. ”
Amy has always had a way in other ways, but in this kind of emotional matter, there is always a feeling that there is more than enough to do.
Because of her own experience, she has always felt that she doesn't care about other people's feelings, and it is better for them to do it themselves.
But listening to Zhang Qiang's words, Zhang Xiu didn't have a good impression of Zou Youming at all, and the reason why he didn't agree now is probably related to the child.
Amy watched Zhang Xiu come all the way, and felt very sorry for her, and felt that it would always be better to have someone who knew the cold and the hot by her side to take care of her.
"Hey, my baby has a young man who still learns something. Besides, Qiang Qiang will go to school next year, and the teacher will teach him if there are any problems. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I'm a person, I didn't have a good eye when I was young, and I found such a conscienceless person and treated it wholeheartedly as a treasure, but in the end he almost killed Qiangqiang. Now that life is finally a little better, I just want to keep strong, watch him grow up, get married, have children, and don't think about anything else. ”
Zou Youming treats her well, she knows it in her heart.
But when he was in the village before, Song Yuejin was also very good to Zhang Xiu before the two got married.
Although Amy knew that Zou and Ming were good to Zhang Xiu and Zhang Qiang, there was no way to guarantee that this person had a good character and could always treat them like this.
So after Zhang Xiu said this, she could only say:
"Song Yuejin is not your fault, nor is it Qiangqiang's fault, let alone other people's fault, Song Yuejin has always been the only one who is wrong. If you really meet a person you like, you can try, if you feel bad, you are not afraid, you are not alone now, you are strong, and we have so many friends, we are all your mother's family. ”
In the final analysis, Song Yuejin was able to bully Zhang Xiu so much at that time, in addition to Zhang Xiu's desperate kindness to him and never doubting him, the lack of one in Zhang Xiu's mother's family was also an important reason.
If Zhang Xiu had someone who could support her, Song Yuejin's kind of guy who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard would definitely not have the courage to be so messy.
After Amy talked to Zhang Xiu, she returned to the guest bedroom.
Elaine had just taken her medicine and was resting here.
"Millet."
As soon as she heard the sound of someone opening the door, Elaine immediately woke up from her dream, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Amy.
"Don't get up, the doctor said that you were frightened in the rain before, and you must take good care of yourself, otherwise you will leave sequelae in the future."
Amy closed the door as soon as she came in, afraid that the wind outside would blow in.
Although it is summer now, because Elaine has been eating badly at home before, her body is already in a loss, and this time she has been in the rain for so long, and the whole person is empty.
The doctor said to try to keep her out of the wind.
"Where is it so squeamish."
Elaine didn't bring an umbrella to work several times before, but when she got off work, it suddenly rained heavily, and no one would think that she would be drenched in the umbrella for her, and every time she ran back in the rain.
She's used to it.
But Amy didn't do it, she had to let her take care of her body, and asked Grandma Wang to stew chicken soup for her.
"Xiaomi, you are still in school, it is the time to spend money, save if you can, save some, don't spend money on me, I'm fine, really."
Elaine said that she had to get up from the bed and take two steps to prove that she was not lying, and was forced back by Amy.
"I don't care how you got it before, anyway, when you come to me, you will take care of it for me. I'm just a sister like you, what should I do if something happens to your body? ”
The location of this room is good, although the doors and windows are hidden, but it is not stuffy.
The sun is here in the morning, so the room is not cold and damp, and in the afternoon, it is not too hot to stand it.
The Ai family is such a big family, and only here is Amy, Ai Lian can feel cared for and loved.
Instead of refusing Amy's kindness to her, she sat back on the bed obediently, leaning on the head of the bed and talking to her.
"Xiaomi, what you said to me before, does it still count?"
Amy didn't think about it and nodded directly.
"Of course it counts. I said that as long as you come, as long as you want, I will help you. ”
She has long been like Elaine can get rid of that family, but before Elaine herself was unhappy, she couldn't help it.
Well, now Elaine was forced away by those disgusting people who killed people without seeing blood.
"But, I don't know anything else except the work in the factory."
Elaine grew up according to Ai's father and mother's arrangement, and she did whatever they asked her to do.
Now that she had to make her own decisions, she couldn't find the right direction.
"In this way, Grandma Wang has been doing business recently, and Zhang Xiu is too busy, so you can take a hand first. Then I'll go to the school library and borrow some books for you to read, and next year you will continue to take the university entrance examination, how about it? ”
Amy is not Elaine, she doesn't know what Elaine is planning in her heart, so she can only try to come up with a method that she thinks is good.
Elaine is now in a hurry to ask Ai Mu for the six gods, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
Now Grandma Wang's business, Zhang Xiu can do it alone.
But because there was only one person she could trust, Amy never extended these things to a few other streets.
Now that Elaine is here, she decides to talk to a restaurant owner on the other street.
The two streets are far apart, and even if there are these things on both sides, it won't affect each other's business.
Still, there were some things she had to say explicitly.
"The business is Grandma Wang's, so there are some things that have to be kept secret, I hope you don't mind."
