After the family had a meal together, they looked very happy, but in fact, only Duan Yunfei was unhappy, Li Xueyan took Zhou Xinghua to a room.

There were many factors they considered when building a house, they thought that if Zhou Xinghua and she changed their minds and wanted to come to live, and even Li Xueyan also considered that if Duan Yunfei's parents also came to live in the future, they would have a place to sleep. So the room was still sufficient.

What Li Xueyan didn't know was that Duan Yunfei didn't think about his parents at all, just thinking that he could live in case he had another child with Li Xueyan in the future.

"Mother, can you take a look at this room?" Li Xueyan asked, "It's just that I didn't know you were coming in advance, I haven't cleaned it up much, it's a little dusty, I'll clean it up for you later." ”

It is impossible for Zhou Xinghua to be dissatisfied with such a room, she even feels that it is a waste for her to live in such a good house.

Seeing that Zhou Xinghua didn't speak, but her expression didn't look very satisfied, Li Xueyan hurriedly said: "If my mother thinks it's not good, I'll go and change it for you, it's really dirty here." ”

Zhou Xinghua hurriedly said: "No, no, I just think, I just think it'......"

"What do you think?"

"Child, when I was in the Li family, I made you suffer, but now that you have not only taken me in, but also let me live in such a big house, I feel very sorry not to ......"

Li Xueyan sighed helplessly, "Mother, you said this again, I will be unhappy if you talk too much." Didn't I say you, you, stay with me in peace and don't have any worries at all. And I believed you did the best you could, so I never blamed you and never would ever blame you. It's true that I hate the Li family to the extreme, but you don't belong on their side. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xinghua didn't seem to know what to say for a while, Li Xueyan said again: "Since the Li family doesn't want you to stay anymore, then you can live with us well, don't feel ashamed or anything, only you are doing well, no matter how much gossip others gossip, it's just because of jealousy." ”

Zhou Xinghua finally nodded, "Okay, my mother knows." ”

Early the next morning, Li Xueyan got up as usual, and was just about to go to get food after cleaning up, but heard the sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen.

Li Xueyan was still thinking at first, how Duan Yunfei had really become diligent recently, and she didn't even say that she would take the initiative to cook and eat. As a result, when I walked over and took a look, I found that she was really thinking too much, where is Duan Yunfei?

"Mother, have you slept well, why did you get up so early to cook?" Li Xueyan said and yawned, although she herself got up early every day, but Zhou Xinghua got up too early, right?

At this point in time, not to mention Li Xiaonuan and Duan Yunfei, even she rarely wakes up at this time, and usually has to squint for a while.

Seeing Li Xueyan coming, Zhou Xinghua smiled and said, "I woke up and got up, did I make a noise to you?" ”

Li Xueyan shook her head, "That's not true. It's just that it's still early, so why don't you take a little rest? ”

"I'm old, I can't sleep, and I think I have nothing to do when I wake up, so I just cook for you."

Li Xueyan suddenly found that her mother's hair had begun to turn white. Not only the sideburns, but also the top of the head is visibly thinning, and the corners of the eyes are covered with wrinkles.

This is not what Zhou Xinghua looks like in her memory.

Zhou Xinghua's hand movements did not stop, and Li Xueyan noticed that her hand was not the same as when she was holding her when she was a child. Now Zhou Xinghua's hands are very black, and at first glance, she looks like she has been working all year round, as if she can't wash it no matter how she washes it.

There are quite a few cracks between the fingers, and it looks like cuts, burns, and frostbite.

Li Xueyan felt that Li Youzi's hands might be more delicate than Zhou Xinghua's.

"Actually, you don't have to do that. You have worked hard for most of your life, and now your daughter has the opportunity to be filial to you and serve you, but if you come to me and have to work, then it will be ......"

Li Xueyan wanted to say that she wanted to see Zhou Xinghua live happily. For so long, she has been almost overwhelmed by all kinds of household chores, shouldn't she have a good rest now? Why is this even the case?

Zhou Xinghua's movements on her hand finally stopped, turned sideways to look at Li Xueyan, and sighed.

"Xueyan, you just let your mother do something, cleaning the house here, cooking or something, it's much easier than the original work in the Li family. I came here to help you more, you and Xiaoduan are too tired, I know this. If I don't do anything, won't I be dragging you down when I come here? My mother will not be able to do it. ”

Li Xueyan knew that too, she only cared about feeling sorry for her mother and didn't want her to work, but she forgot that for Zhou Xinghua, the suffering that was added to her heart was far more than her body.

If she insisted on not letting Zhou Xinghua do anything, she would inevitably think wildly in her heart, feeling that she would only disturb her when she came over, and it would be useless.

Isn't there a disease called senile depression? If you don't find something to do for Zhou Xinghua, and let her only think crankily every day, it is very likely that it will bring her that result.

Li Xueyan finally nodded and said with a smile: "Mother can do whatever she wants, I won't stop it." But the mother must not be too tired, otherwise the daughter will not be happy, you know? ”

Zhou Xinghua looked relieved, nodded, and continued with the matter at hand.

It didn't take long for Duan Yunfei and Li Xiaonuan to get up.

Duan Yunfei's eyes were sharp, and he only needed to glance at the food on the table to know that it was not made by Li Xueyan. In that case, isn't now the best time to please your mother-in-law?

Duan Yunfei sniffed exaggeratedly, and praised without hesitation: "Wow, it's so fragrant!" These are all made by my aunt, right? It's been a long time since we've had such a hearty breakfast. ”

Exaggeration is an exaggeration, but who called Duan Yunfei handsome? Such an expression on his face did not make people feel bored at all, but inexplicably added a little ...... Lovely?

Sure enough, people of Zhou Xinghua's age are the most popular, and after listening to Duan Yunfei's words, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, so he could only humbly say "no, no".

Li Xueyan's disdain for Duan Yunfei was even worse.

After eating, Li Xueyan decided to let Zhou Xinghua go with them to send Li Xiaonuan to the school. Li Xueyan thought that Zhou Xinghua was idle anyway, and Li Xiaonuan was sensible and obedient, so if she was asked to bring it, there shouldn't be anything inconvenient to play.

The main reason is that the two of them don't have enough time to pick up Li Xiaonuan every day, she is still young, and she is not at ease to let others take her. It just so happened that Zhou Xinghua came, and it was her grandmother again, if Li Xiaonuan was handed over to Zhou Xinghua, Li Xueyan and they were relieved, and they saved a lot of trouble.

After arriving at the school, I happened to see Gu Manzhi sending Deng Mingyou, and Li Xueyan greeted them in a friendly manner.

Gu Manzhi was a little surprised, "There are a lot of people from your house today?" Who is this? Gu Manzhi hesitated, and the person she asked was Zhou Xinghua.

If you look at her age, Gu Manzhi can completely guess that she may be Li Xueyan or Duan Yunfei's mother.

But looking at the clothes, it's too different.

Although Li Xueyan and the others are not as exaggerated as wearing gold and silver, they are dressed quite well compared to ordinary villagers. It's not fancy, but the fabrics look very good, and the workmanship is not bad.

But the older man next to them looked different, the clothes on his body were clean, but they were too old.

When Li Xueyan saw Gu Manzhi asking, she introduced with a smile: "She is my mother, Li Xiaonuan's grandmother." I just came to our house yesterday to help me take care of Xiao Nuan. ”

Gu Manzhi said: "That's it, aunt is good." ”

Zhou Xinghua smiled a little stiffly, "Hello." ”

Li Xueyan could guess what she was thinking when she saw Gu Manzhi's expression, but Li Xueyan didn't really want to explain. Anyway, it seems like this on the surface now, as for what Gu Manzhi thinks, it is useless for her to explain.

After sending Li Xiaonuan to the school, Zhou Xinghua said, "Are you going to the store now?" Then I'll go back first? ”

She looked a little uneasy, Li Xueyan thought, probably because she hadn't been out for too long. When she was still in the Li family, what Zhou Xinghua did every day was to be in the field and at home, and it seemed that all the work was pressed on her.

Li Xueyan pulled Zhou Xinghua over and said, "What is my mother doing in a hurry to go back?" I've decided to spend the day with you today. ”

Zhou Xinghua was surprised, and said with a smile: "Accompany me? You can do whatever you should be busy with, what do you do with me? I'm not Xiao Nuan. ”

"We don't have anything else to do today, and we're supposed to be busy with you. Right? Li Xueyan asked Duan Yunfei.

"Yes, yes, let's take my aunt for a good shopping today."

In the end, Zhou Xinghua couldn't resist the two of them, although she felt that this troubled them, but when it came to going to the town, she was not completely unwilling.

In Zhou Xinghua's memory, the number of visits to the town is pitiful, and every time it is not worth remembering.

Either buy things or send things, anyway, it is the dirty work that the Li family is unwilling to do, and in the end, she has to do it without exception.

So this time there was no destination to come to the town, and Zhou Xinghua really had an eye-opening feeling.

"How's that? Do you feel like a lot has changed in the town? Li Xueyan looked very happy when she saw Zhou Xinghua, and asked with the opportunity.

Zhou Xinghua nodded, "I haven't been here for many years, and many stores have changed." ”

"By the way, mother, I'll take you to a place." After Li Xueyan finished speaking, she took Zhou Xinghua and went to the place where they usually made clothes.

Li Xueyan is a person who pays more attention to fabrics than colors, whether it looks good or not is not the most important, it has to be comfortable. So there are many ready-to-wear stores in the town, and there are only one or two that Li Xueyan frequents.

Zhou Xinghua didn't bring any clothes when she came to their house, and if she did it now, she would have to wait several days to get them. Li Xueyan wanted her to get new clothes on the ship as soon as possible, so she went to a store where the ready-to-wear was made to Li Xueyan's satisfaction.

"You want to buy me new clothes?" Zhou Xinghua refused without thinking about it, "I'm so old, what new clothes do I wear?" Isn't that a waste of money? ”

Li Xueyan glanced at Duan Yunfei, and Duan Yunfei immediately understood.

"How can an aunt be a waste of money when she wears new clothes? And my aunt is not very old, take care of it, and when the time comes, go out with Li Xueyan, others will still think you are sisters. ”

Zhou Xinghua smiled: "You kid will talk nonsense." ”

"Where is this nonsense? It's all true. Besides, buying clothes is also a part of my heart with your daughter. ”
