13 That is Yan Chen's daughter-in-law

"Zhenzhen, do you have time the day after tomorrow?" At the dinner table during dinner, Mrs. Ling suddenly asked.

The day after tomorrow is Saturday, Yan Zhen has been working in the company for a while, although she has never worked overtime, but she is not too full of words, she replied cautiously: "If you don't need to work overtime the day after tomorrow, I have time." ”

Mrs. Ling smiled indifferently when she heard this: "Anyway, it's all in your own company, it's okay." The day after tomorrow is the wedding anniversary of Yeonyu's grandparents, and every year on this day, our family will spend it with our grandmother, so you can go with us the day after tomorrow. When you were a child, your grandmother liked you very much, remember? ”

"I remember." Yan Zhen thought for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know what my grandmother likes, should I prepare a gift?" ”

"No, you don't." Mrs. Ling thought of her elderly mother, her heart was a little sour, she smiled and shook her head slowly, and then couldn't help sighing, "In fact, when people reach their age, they will always feel empty, and no gift is important. ”

Ling Yanchen and Ling Yanyu's grandmother is over 80 years old this year, suffering from mild Alzheimer's disease, and she can't remember some things clearly. My grandmother has two sons and a daughter, and both sons have settled abroad, since my grandfather died, both sons want to take her abroad to retire, but the old lady is reluctant to leave this place where she has lived all her life, and even more reluctant to leave the home where she lives with her husband. So, after discussing with the three children, it was decided to let the old lady stay in the country, and there would be a maid to take care of her daily life on weekdays, Mrs. Ling would go over to take care of her every week, and the other two sons would come back to visit every year when they had time.

The old lady's life in her later years was very well arranged, and the old lady did not remember her birthday for a long time, but she always remembered her wedding anniversary with her husband.

The old lady is old, and those important days in her heart are one year less after a year.

Mr. Ling is out of town, and Ling Yanyan has recently gone abroad to study, and neither of them can rush back.

Mrs. Ling had already made an appointment with her two sons on the phone a long time ago. Although the old lady has a bad memory now, she still knows her two favorite grandchildren.

Mrs. Ling had communicated with the doctor before, after all, the old lady was old, and all the functions of her body were not as good as before. To put it mildly, it is possible that this will be the last time the old lady will celebrate this wedding anniversary. Mrs. Ling has always been gentle, and this time she also gave an order, no matter what happened, she must find time to spend this important day with her grandmother.

Ling Yanchen and Ling Yanyu were often taken by their grandmother when they were children, and their relationship was very good, and both of them responded in one bite.

In Yan Zhen's memory, it was a kind and kind old man, always wearing a beautiful and elegant cheongsam, even if he was old, his face was full of wrinkles, he was still an elegant old lady, and his gestures were all the dignified of the old daughter, in short, he was a kind elder that future generations would like very much.

Yan Zhen remembered Ling Yanyu's unobtrusive temperament, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that I'm here, and Yanyu will hide and be reluctant to go." ”

Mrs. Ling was slightly stunned, and when she saw Yan Zhen say this, she lowered her head with a lonely expression, and couldn't help but comfort her softly: "No, he won't make a mistake on such an important day." ”

Modern society is fast-paced, even on weekends, most people are busy, Ling Yanchen is no exception, but he thought of his grandmother's physical condition and his grandmother's attention to this day, although he had important meetings and dinners that day, but they were all postponed or canceled one by one. In his childhood, his parents seemed to be very busy, and the happy fragments of his memories were all spent with his grandparents.

As for Ling Yanyu, after all, he is only a small supervisor in the sales department, and he doesn't have to go to work on Saturdays, and he doesn't need to ask anyone for leave.

Early in the morning, Ling Yanyu woke up in the apartment and just finished taking a shower, when he received a call from Su Yiqiu. He didn't bother to wipe his hair, threw the towel aside, and hurriedly connected, "Hey, Yiqiu, is there anything wrong with calling me so early?" ”

"Did it disturb your rest?" Su Yiqiu asked gently.

"No, no." Ling Yanyu said the truth in a joking tone, "I'm on call for you twenty-four hours a day. ”

Su Yiqiu was amused by Ling Yanyu's words, and her tone became more and more intimate, "Actually, it's not anything important, I just want to ask if you have time today, if you have time, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Ling Yanyu just wanted to agree, but thinking that today was his grandparents' wedding anniversary, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing that Ling Yanyu didn't reply for a long time, Su Yiqiu guessed that he might have something, and said empathetically: "If you don't have time, you can make an appointment another day, you can be busy with yours first." ”

Ling Yanyu was infatuated with Su Yiqiu, and was even willing to fight against the whole family for her, as long as she was willing to be with him, he even felt that he could give everything. It's just that Su Yiqiu doesn't like him, or maybe it's because of the marriage contract on his body that he refuses to take that crucial step. They have known each other for so long, Su Yiqiu will hardly take the initiative to call him, and rarely ask him for dinner. This invitation is too rare for Ling Yanyu.

Hearing Su Yiqiu say this, Ling Yanyu responded without thinking about it: "I'm so happy that I didn't react for a while." I'll pick you up in the car later, how about it? ”

Su Yiqiu smiled: "Okay." You haven't eaten breakfast so early, right? I made some small ravioli yesterday and gave you the next bowl, is that okay? ”

Ling Yanyu was simply flattered, "Are you going to make me breakfast?" That's great! ”

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yanyu thought of his grandmother again, although he felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, his grandmother would definitely support him, his grandmother was very good to him since he was a child, he was going to be with the person he liked now, he could be happy, grandma must be the happiest and happiest, isn't it?

With this self-comforting mentality, Ling Yanyu sent a text message to his mother before going out, saying that he had something to do today, and he would personally accompany his grandmother to dinner when he had time another day, and then turned his mobile phone to silent, he didn't want to be disturbed by others when he was dating Su Yiqiu.

Ling Yanchen drove to pick up Mrs. Ling and Yan Zhen.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, Yan Zhen is wearing a retro cheongsam modified short skirt, and her long and soft hair is obliquely wearing a delicate pearl hairpin, which is elegant and has a bit of youthful beauty.

Yan Zhen has a few jade bracelets in her jewelry, but she doesn't like it very much, and it looks a little old-fashioned with her clothes, so she hasn't worn it much. While sorting out the jewelry box, she stumbled upon a jade bracelet. Yan Zhen, who doesn't know much about jade, can also see that the color of this bracelet is green and pure, and the texture is warm and delicate. Only then did she recall that this jade bracelet was given to her by Ling Yanyu's grandmother before.

Yan Zhen's fair-skinned and slender wrist wore this jade bracelet, which made her skin extraordinarily fair, like a high-grade white porcelain.

Mrs. Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Zhenzhen is really good-looking. ”

Ling Yanchen stood next to the car, and inadvertently glanced at Yan Zhen, the sun was quietly shining on her, and he really realized what the word "good-looking" felt like at this moment, it was just an abstract adjective to him before, but now it jumped in front of him and became a personal experience.

Ling Yanchen's eyes moved away silently, his gaze had always been natural, and it would not give people the slightest discomfort.

When Mrs. Ling received Ling Yanyu's text message, she had a rare look of anger on her elegant face, and immediately dialed his number, but no one answered.

Yan Zhen guessed that it might be her problem, so Ling Yanyu missed the appointment, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I still can't go today." She knew that this anniversary was very important to the old lady, and Mrs. Ling also attached great importance to it, to put it bluntly, she was actually an outsider now, and there was really no need to make such an unpleasant fuss because of her.

Mrs. Ling put the phone back in her bag, and her expression returned to her former calmness, "No, Yanyu knew a few days ago, and he also agreed, now it should be temporary." Forget it, we won't wait for him, let's go pick up grandma first, don't let the old man wait too long. ”

Since Mrs. Ling explained so, Yan Zhen also dispelled her previous thoughts, and it seemed that it really had nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Ling respects the old lady's opinion very much, and she is naturally very concerned about this wedding anniversary, even if she likes Yan Zhen again, she will not affect such an important day because of her, and she must have greeted Ling Yanyu before asking her if she was free. Although Ling Yanyu was unwilling, she still agreed, and Mrs. Ling would mention this matter to her, so now that Ling Yanyu has something to do temporarily, this pot should not be hers.

Because of this sudden situation, Mrs. Ling's mood was not as high as before. Yan Zhen sat in the back seat with her, Ling Yanchen was silent all the way, and the group came to the door of a small western-style building with some history in a quiet atmosphere.

According to the maid's aunt, the old lady had already prepared, put on her favorite cheongsam, put on her carefully selected jewelry, and was listening to music on the lounger in the living room.

The flowers in the small garden are blooming in the branches, and the soothing and romantic music is flowing in the living room, and on such a morning, the here and now seems to have returned to a few decades ago, as if you can see the heart of a girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

Mrs. Ling walked in front, Yan Zhen and Ling Yanchen took a step behind, and the three of them walked into the living room one after another.

The old lady is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but even when she doesn't remember, she never forgets to pay attention to beauty, coupled with the dedication of the maids and aunts, she has always been a beautiful and clean grandmother, which seems to be engraved in her bones, and she has never let herself lose her temper.

When the old lady heard her daughter calling her, she opened her eyes dimly and smiled at her daughter, "Guoguo is here." ”

After all, the eldest son and the future second daughter-in-law were there, and Mrs. Ling was still a little embarrassed when she heard her mother call her nickname, "Mom, Yanchen and Zhenzhen are also here." ”

The old lady looked over, confirmed that it was her eldest grandson, and said happily: "Yanchen doesn't have to go to work today, so it's good to dare to be kind." ”

The old lady looked at Yan Zhen again, her eyes were a little puzzled, she turned her head to look at the eldest grandson beside her, thought about it, and suddenly became even happier, "Yanchen's daughter-in-law is also here, she is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Ling Yanchen and Yan Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing how to deny it.

Mrs. Ling reluctantly corrected the old lady, "Mom, Zhenzhen is not Yanchen's daughter-in-law, but Yanyu's daughter-in-law." ”

The old lady looked at it carefully incredulously, and then said seriously: "I'm not mistaken, you made a mistake, that is Yanchen's daughter-in-law." ”
