After arriving at the supermarket, Xia Yuqing discussed with Zhang's mother, and bought a lot of dishes according to the taste of the old man and Xiao Yixuan, and when she arrived at the seafood area, Xia Yuqing saw those fresh shrimps, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Yixuan's favorite dish was stir-fried shrimp, and couldn't help but take Zhang's mother's hand and ask: "Zhang's mother, does Yixuan have anything else to like to eat besides fried shrimp?" ”

Recently, there has not been much communication between Xia Yuqing and Xiao Yixuan, and Xia Yuqing has not asked anything related to Xiao Yixuan, and now she suddenly heard Xia Yuqing ask about Xiao Yixuan's favorite dishes, and Zhang's mother replied with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "Mr. likes to eat seafood." ”

After a pause, Mama Zhang added: "Speaking of which, when the young master was young, his wife often cooked seafood for the young master, and the young master would eat a lot every time. ”

Maybe it was because she remembered something funny, or because she thought of something funny, the smile on Zhang's mother's face deepened.

But Xia Yuqing was a little curious about Zhang's mother's words: "Madam? But...... I don't think she's close to Yixuan. ”

"That was later, and then ......" Zhang's mother has served in the Xiao family for so many years, and she is very clear about the affairs of the Xiao family, but there are some things that she is not easy to say.

Suppressing the urge to tell Xia Yuqing everything, Zhang's mother smiled again and changed the topic: "Madam, if you want to cook for your husband, you don't have to bother, as long as you make it, he will think it is delicious, I haven't seen my husband so happy when he eats for many years." ”

While speaking, Zhang's mother recalled the expression on Xiao Yixuan's face when Xia Yuqing cooked for Xiao Yixuan.

When Xiao Yixuan was young, whenever Xiao Wenshulan cooked for him, he would be so happy, and he could eat several bowls of rice every time, but Xiao Wenshulan was rarely at home.

Later, Xiao Yixuan's father had an accident, and the old man took Xiao Yixuan to his side to raise him, and he met Xiao Wenshulan less, but even if they did, he would no longer pester Xiao Wenshulan as before, but kept a very distant distance from Xiao Wenshulan, and gradually, it became what it is today.

Over the years, although Xiao Yixuan seems to be omnipotent to outsiders, he has always been very lonely in his heart, even in front of Lan Qianming, he has never been his true self, but since Xia Yuqing appeared, he seems to have slowly begun to change.

And Xia Yuqing listened to Zhang's mother's words, but she blinked her eyes, and there was doubt in her eyes.

She thought, people like Xiao Yixuan shouldn't be okay because of a meal, right? Moreover, she didn't want to cook for Xiao Yixuan for any special reason, just because he helped her translate so many materials that day, and although she verbally said "thank you", it didn't have any practical meaning, so she wanted to cook a few dishes for him to express her gratitude.

However, these words obviously can't be told to Zhang's mother.

"That's ......," Xia Yuqing said, went to the seafood area, and carefully selected two catties of shrimp.

When Xia Yuqing and Zhang's mother returned home after shopping for vegetables, the old man was already sitting in the living room, and Xiao Yixuan was chatting with him.

Sister Liu, who was standing next to her, saw Xia Yuqing and Zhang's mother coming back, and quickly took the plastic bag from Xia Yuqing's hand, and after saying hello to Xia Yuqing, she went to the kitchen with Zhang's mother to prepare for lunch.

The old man was also very happy when he saw Xia Yuqing coming back, and immediately stood up from the sofa, and said while walking towards Xia Yuqing: "Yuqing, are you back?" Let's go for a walk in the backyard with grandpa. ”

It was Xia Yuqing who proposed to take the old man to his home, and now that the old man has made a request, Xia Yuqing must not be able to say anything, so he quickly grabbed the old man's arm, and the two walked to the backyard together, Xiao Yixuan put his hands in his pockets, and followed silently.

Xia Yuqing helped the old man all the way to the backyard, and then sat on the swing under the grape trellis.

The trellis has budded and looks vibrant and beautiful in the sun.

After chatting for a while, Xia Yuqing looked back and saw Xiao Yixuan standing behind her, turned to the old man and said, "Grandpa, I'll call my mother and invite my mother to come over for dinner too, right?" Speaking of which, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time. ”

In fact, when we met in the restaurant last night, Xia Yuqing wanted Xiao Wenshulan to eat together, but after the old man proposed it, Xiao Wenshulan refused on the grounds that she was with a friend, so Xia Yuqing didn't say anything later, and in today's situation, it seems that they are all there, but Xiao Wenshulan is missing, which is also a little inappropriate.

The old man took Xiao Yixuan away from Xiao Wen Shulan since he was a child, and he also felt guilty about Xiao Wen Shulan, and when he heard Xia Yuqing's words, he nodded and was about to say "Okay", but before the old man's words came out, Xiao Yixuan said: "No need, I think she is so busy, there should be no time." ”

"But ......"

"Let's just eat it ourselves." Xiao Yixuan interrupted Xia Yuqing's words and said.

Hearing Xiao Yixuan say this, Xia Yuqing didn't want to say anything, but she always felt that something was wrong in her heart.

Although Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Wenshulan didn't get along well before, she always felt that their mother and son seemed to be more estranged recently, and she didn't know what was going on......

Really, if Lin Fang is still here, he and Xia Yujie will definitely listen to Lin Fang's words, and I wish I could stick to her every day at home, why is this how Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Wen Shulan get along?

Although she felt puzzled in her heart, Xia Yuqing didn't say it, because she understood that after all, she was not Xiao Yixuan, and she didn't know about the matter between Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Wen Shulan, maybe there was something between them? If he intervenes like this, he will make this knot more and more dead, after all, Xiao Wen Shulan has such a big opinion of himself, it would be good if he was angry with Xiao Yixuan because of himself, so let them solve it themselves.

Perhaps sensing something, the old man sighed: "Shu Lan has not been easy these years, since Yixuan's father died, she has put all her energy into the company's affairs...... Maybe Yixuan is right, she really doesn't have that time. ”

Xiao Yixuan didn't answer, but tilted his head slightly.

Pounce on the company? Xiao Wen Shulan? It seems that the old man doesn't know her daughter-in-law so well.

But it doesn't matter, he just doesn't want to contact Xiao Wenshulan now, as long as Xiao Wenshulan doesn't do anything excessive to Xia Yuqing in the future, he promised to help Xiao Wenshulan keep it secret, and he will definitely not let others know.

From the current point of view, Xiao Wen Shulan is still very committed to it, and she really didn't look for Xia Yuqing's stubble, that is to say, her own threat, she is still like this.

In this way, I saved a lot of effort.

Unlike Xiao Yixuan, Xia Yuqing didn't think about it so much, but simply felt that she didn't want to meddle in the affairs of Xiao Yixuan and Xiao Wenshulan, so after listening to the old man's words, she nodded and didn't say anything more.

Looking up, seeing that a small section of rattan had grown in some places of the vine, Xia Yuqing had a shallow smile on her face, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, when I first moved to the Summer Garden, this vine grew just right." ”

At that time, it was close to autumn, and it was the time when the vines were at their most luxuriant, and at that time, she thought that this swing was exclusive to Lan Qianya, and so was Xiao Yixuan, so whether it was for Xiao Yixuan or this swing, she didn't dare to think anything wrong.

But now it seems that her thoughts are right, these really don't belong to her.

"Yes, time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since you and Yixuan got married." The old man also looked up at the vine, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This year, a lot of things have happened, Yuqing, I'm sorry." ”

Hearing the old man apologize to himself, Xia Yuqing turned to the kind-looking old man beside her with a puzzled face, blinked her eyes and asked, "I'm sorry?" Grandpa, why are you apologizing to me? All along, you have been so good to me and Xiaojie, we thank you before it's too late, how can you ......"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I want to say this." The old man interrupted Xia Yuqing's words, and the smile on his face became even kinder.

Looking back at Xiao Yixuan, the old man stretched out his hand, holding Xiao Yixuan's hand with one hand and Xia Yuqing's hand with the other: "Grandpa is old, and now he is in the hospital all day, and I don't know how long he can live." Grandpa's happiest thing now is to see that you two can live a peaceful and beautiful life, which is better than anything else. ”

Although he knew that the old man had been pretending to be sick and staying in the hospital for the sake of himself and Xia Yuqing, Xiao Yixuan still felt a sour feeling in his heart when he heard the old man say such things.

"Yuqing, don't look at Yixuan, this kid seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, as if he can do anything, but he is actually very careless, and he will neither take care of others nor himself. If he does something wrong, tell his grandfather and he will teach him a lesson, but please be patient and don't let him work too late...... Also, you too, don't work too hard, no matter what, you still have Yixuan, this day, he will support you, so you don't have to be so tired......"

From just now, Xia Yuqing felt that something was wrong with the old man's situation, and now when she heard the old man say this, she felt even more uneasy: "Grandpa, why did you suddenly say this?" Is there something wrong with your body? But no, the doctor just said that you should be in the hospital for recuperation, and you have been in the hospital for so long, it should be nothing ......."

"Look at you, where do you think?" The old man interrupted Xia Yuqing's words, and laughed out loud, and the laugh lines on his face deepened a lot.
