Chapter 191: Estrangement
An Xia hesitated for a while, but nodded.
At least for now, she really can't help much.
Jiang Yan heard that the old lady was also coming, so she rushed over non-stop.
She hasn't seen this mother-in-law for many years, but every year she sends gifts to the old man, and in recent years, the old man has learned to video chat, and the contact between the two has become more frequent, and it is precisely because of this that Jiang Yan and the old lady have a very good relationship.
When she got married, apart from her husband, the old lady was the only one who felt sorry for her, and everyone else envied her that it was her blessing to be able to meet such a good mother-in-law, even she thought so.
Because in her heart, the old lady is no different from her mother.
So when she heard Yu Chen call her to tell her, she ran over without thinking about it.
Seeing the old man whose hair had turned silver white, he suddenly felt a sadness in it.
More than ten years ago, although the old lady had a white head when she left, she was only a few white hairs, and now she was full of silver hair, which made her sigh that even Yuchen was already so old, even if the old lady looked strong, she was actually an old man.
The old lady didn't like the scene of crying and crying, and when she saw Jiang Yan curling her mouth and wanting to cry, she scolded her: "What are you crying about!" I'm not dead yet. ”
Fortunately, the juniors are not there.
She is satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but there is only one thing, that is, she loves to cry.
Sometimes, it really hurts her brain when she cries, but when she cries, it is still silent, and it makes people feel distressed, and in the end, she can only silently endure her tears.
"Mom! How can you say that about yourself. Jiang Yan frowned, subconsciously a little dissatisfied.
"Life and death are always unavoidable topics, people will return to dust sooner or later, and it's nothing to talk about, but you, alone?"
Jiang Yan also knew that since the death of her brother-in-law many years ago, the old man was no longer enthusiastic about his life and death, and he didn't dare to talk to her when he heard her say this, but just answered her last question: "Well, I called Yuchen's father yesterday, and he should still be on the plane now." ”
The old lady nodded, indicating that she understood.
"You don't look the same as you did more than a decade ago." It can be seen that life is indeed quite comfortable, and the current state is obviously much better than when I first got married.
"What's the matter, look at my hair, it's already grown several gray hairs, and my face is already wrinkled, it's just that I'm wearing makeup, you can't see it." She said a little aggrieved that although she has been very diligent in maintenance over the years, not many people can withstand the ravages of time.
"On the contrary, in my opinion, you have not changed at all, except for the gray hair, the demeanor on your face, even the habits are exactly the same as back then." It's like someone who has always been in her memory.
"No one has always been the same." When the old lady heard her say this, she was stunned for a moment, "After all, it's been more than ten years." ”
Or maybe she's always lived in the past, so it looks like nothing has changed?
She thought about it, but she still didn't want to delve into it.
"By the way, you've seen your granddaughter-in-law, I still like her, I saw her when she was Yuchen's assistant before, and the little girl is still very cute."
Jiang Yan said with a smile.
How could the old lady not know her thoughts: "I know what you think, little girl, I have already seen it, it is indeed not as good as the little girl of the Han family, but it is delicate and cute, and it can be regarded as being able to see it, our Yu family is not a family that pays attention to skin appearance, besides, when do you see me sad little girl, I like those little girls who are smart." ”
Jiang Yan was not angry when she saw through it, and still said with a smile: "Of course I believe in your vision, and I also know that you will definitely not embarrass a little girl, but I am a little relieved, after all, this child does not know the depth of the Yu family, and there are always times when he makes mistakes." ”
"It's inevitable to make mistakes, as long as you immediately recognize your mistakes and correct them, I'm afraid that those who are obsessed and don't know why they are wrong, I don't like such stupid people, but fortunately, Anxia, this little girl is still very smart, although she doesn't like to talk, but she still understands in her heart."
The old lady took a leisurely sip of tea.
The housekeeper is very caring, and the tea she brewed is still her favorite taste, but people will change after all, and it tasted sweet when she drank it, but now it is like clear water for her, and she has long lost its taste.
"I'm relieved if you say that." Although the old lady was disgusted in and out of her words, Jiang Yan could hear that she was still quite satisfied with An Xia.
"I've been telling you for so long, I'm a little hungry." Since she got off the plane, she didn't eat anything, only ate a little in-flight food on the plane, but although those dishes were exquisite, they really didn't taste good.
"When I came here just now, they were already preparing lunch, this time should be ready, I'll help you down."
The old lady nodded and let Jiang Yan support her.
Before I got downstairs, the scent came from afar.
The old lady's appetite has always been not good, and her appetite is always bad, but when she smells this smell at this time, she is slightly stunned, and this feeling is like going back to the past.
"Old lady?" Jiang Yan's voice rang in her ears.
The old lady came back to her senses.
"You just got distracted."
The old lady nodded, and then said, "It smells quite good." ”
Jiang Yan also said approvingly: "I heard that it was made by Anxia, I often hear Yuchen say that Anxia also has good cooking skills, today can be regarded as a coincidence, I can taste the taste, you don't know, Yuchen often says it in front of me, which makes me a little curious." ”
Of course, Jiang Yan herself doesn't know how to cook, she has never touched the spring water with her fingers since she was a child, and after marrying into the Yu family, someone has to worry about everything, and cooking has never been her responsibility.
But she is not limited to this, her daughter-in-law can cook, it is definitely not a shame for her, but even more surprising, the dishes made by those chefs are really delicious, but sometimes people are like this, they are used to eating big fish and meat, so they always want to eat a little porridge and side dishes, and now Jiang Yan is like this.
And the old lady had nothing to say.
She suffered when she was young, and after knowing Anxia's life experience, she was more able to understand Anxia's difficulties.
She can cook, and that couldn't be easier.
Jiang Yan helped the old man sit down, the dishes on the table didn't look perfect, at least not as delicate as those in the hotel, but they smelled very fragrant, and it looked like home.
An Xia was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know what you liked to eat before, I thought you were not in good health, so I still made something light, if it doesn't suit your appetite, I'll make something else for you next time." ”
She doesn't have any other advantages, one of the only advantages is that her cooking skills are not bad, and she occasionally thinks about new dishes, and as long as she has enough time, she basically cooks her own dishes.
For example, for the bells and whistles outside, she still prefers to study some home-cooked dishes.
"What is this?" The old lady looked at the side dishes on the table with some curiosity.
"This is a kind of sprout called sprout, which is picked from the tip of the tree, and it is very appetizing when eaten cold, and an aunt gave it to me when I went to Yuezhou last time, it tastes a little strange, and people who like it like it very much, but there are also people who can't accept this taste, do you want to try it first?"
An Xia was very confident when she said it, and she could see that she was really preparing this table.
The old lady gave it a try, and An Xia had anticipation in her eyes: "What do you think?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "It's sweet and sour, it's delicious." ”
When An Xia heard the old lady say this, the tension in her heart finally relaxed, she had been worried about whether the old lady would not like it, but now it seems that home cooking can be said to be the existence that everyone will not refuse.
"I really envy my eldest grandson, who can eat such delicious dishes every day." The old lady glanced at Yuchen faintly.
Yu Chen smiled: "If you like it, you can stay here for a while longer, and then you will be able to eat the dishes made by Anxia every day." ”
"Then I don't want it, the girl's hands are very expensive, how can you cook for people every day, even if you don't feel sorry for me, I will feel distressed, besides, delicious things can be eaten once in a while to be able to have an endless aftertaste, if you eat often, isn't it even the last bit of surprise?"
Yu Chen thought about it, this is indeed the truth.
"Mom, Yuchen, Xia Xia, sit down and eat, the food is going to be cold." Jiang Yan couldn't hold it anymore.
The meal was very enjoyable, and during this period, the old lady never appeared.
An Xia had doubts, but she saw that the family was happy, and she didn't dare to say a word.
When the old lady finished her meal and went to take a nap, An Xia asked Yuchen: "Won't grandpa eat with us?" ”
"Grandpa's share of the housekeeper has been sent first, and over the years, grandpa and grandma have never eaten at the same table." Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, and the two of them still have a tacit understanding, as long as there is another person, they will basically avoid it.
It's rare to be in the same living room like in the morning.
An Xia blinked: "That's actually the case." ”
Yu Chen nodded: "What happened before grandpa and grandma was by no means as simple as what we saw, and the gap between grandma and grandpa was far deeper than this." ”
The most important thing is that he can vaguely understand that this matter has something to do with the second uncle.
