73. For whom it is hard and for whom it is sweet
On the weekend, Xin Huan continued to hold the script of the radio drama at home, and accompanied her mother by the way.
In the past, every weekend, Lin Ning had to go to Bai's house. Since Bai Shuyi's fight, Lin Ning has stayed at home on weekends.
Xin Huan was afraid that her mother would be lonely, so she took a big book to the living room to write. She knelt in front of the coffee table and wrote in and out of place, watching her mother quietly do her housework.
After a while, she was entangled in a plot, and it took her half an hour to look up, only to find that her mother was missing.
She tiptoed to the door of her mother's room, and saw her mother holding a medicine bottle, pouring pills out of the medicine bottle, and preparing to put it in her mouth... Look...
Xin Huan glanced at the medicine bottle, and her heart sank.
She knew the vial, and she had known it since she was a child. At that time, she was young, and her mother did not avoid her when she went to the doctor, so she remembered that the doctor said that the bottle contained antidepressants.
In the past few years, my mother's mood has gradually become more and more cheerful, and she has not seen her mother take that medicine for a few days. Why did my mother start secretly taking it again today?
For what?
How long has it been since it relapsed?
When she was a child, she didn't understand what depression was and how serious it was, but on April Fool's Day a year ago, her brother Leslie Cheung fell from the roof of the building...... Let her understand that the most serious illness in the world is not broken muscles and bones, but heartache is unspeakable.
Xin Huan gritted his teeth and went back to the room to call Xin Ziyang's mobile phone. Electricity. It took a long time for the words to pick up, and Xin Ziyang lowered his voice again. Xin Huan's heart was cold, and she sneered and asked, "Xin Ziyang, which mouse cave are you in?" You lie to me, or I won't be able to spare you! β
Sure enough, the electricity. A woman's voice came from the words, as if she deliberately raised the volume: "Ziyang, Ziyang? It's off, come on......"
Xin Huan was furious and shouted at his mobile phone: "Wang Yazhi, you are a J person!" β
Xin Ziyang hurriedly appeased both sides: "Huanhuan, you misunderstood...... Wang Yazhi, shut up! β
Xin Huan closed his eyes: "Xin Ziyang, I don't care what you do, I limit you to half an hour and you must come back." You leave everything behind today and spend time with my mother. Let's go out as a family of three to have some fun, okay? β
Xin Ziyang was stunned: "Your mother, what's wrong with her?" β
"Can't you come back if my mom doesn't have trouble?" Xin Huan roared angrily: "She's a woman, she has never asked you anything, she just needs you to stay home with her on weekends, can't you even do this??" β
"If you really can't do it, don't marry her in the first place! What do you say about loving her, sweetly lying to her that you married you, but you treat her like this! Damn, you have time for other women, why don't you have time for her! β
Xin Ziyang was scolded so disgraced that he had to forgive: "Good Huanhuan, don't scold." Dad is going back now, ah. Half an hour, I'll be there. β
Xin Huan threw down his mobile phone and ran out of the door, crashed into Lin Ning's room, and shouted happily: "Mom, hurry up and wash your face and comb your hair, and dress up well!" β
She said as she opened her mother's closet, looked inside and out, and then helped her mother pull out a pink dress, "Mom changes into this, this looks good!" β
Lin Ning was stunned by her daughter, and only asked, "What's wrong?" β
Xin Huan smiled sweetly: "Mom, just now Dad secretly called the phone. Give me a word and say that I want to surprise you - the three of us will go out and have fun together. But my dad is boring.***, and he was too embarrassed to tell you directly, so he only told me. Mom, hurry up, he'll be home in half an hour! β
"Really?" Lin Ning's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. The eyes were bright that Xin Huan hadn't seen for a long time.
Xin Huan nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true!" She pushed her mother into the bathroom.
Lin Ning went to freshen up, and Xin Huan also went back to the room to clean himself up neatly. Then sit on the couch in the living room and stare at the big wall clock on the wall. Watching the minute hand move closer to the appointed time little by little, Xin Huan's heart was also a little excited.
Even she can't remember how long it has been since Xin Ziyang didn't take her and her mother out to play. He always said that he was busy, socialized a lot, and couldn't help himself. She used to be young and didn't take these things seriously, but now she realized that she had to help the family. At least, I can't see my mother continue to be haggard.
However, when the minute hand reached the appointed time, there was no movement at the door.
Another five minutes passed, another five minutes, another five minutes......
Lin Ning, who had been dressed up, stood at the door beautifully and dignifiedly, and couldn't hold back her disappointment: "Huanhuan, hasn't your father come back yet?" β
Xin Huan squeezed out a smile: "Hey, Mom, don't worry, my dad said that he will be back soon!" She pushed her mother into the room: "You can put on another nail polish, it will be red, I like to see it the most!" β
She closed the door and walked to the living room to call Xin Ziyang's mobile phone. Damn, it's turned off!
Xin Huan stood in place, his brain was blank for a moment, and then he called Wang Yinhua. Words: "Sister Hua, do you have time now?" β
Wang Yinhua was noisy with people and cars: "I'm on the set!" What's wrong with Huanhuan, are you okay? β
"Ah, ah, I'm fine, I'll see you again, Sister Hua!" Xin Huan hung up the power in despair. Speech.
Mom is not a local, and her relatives and friends are all in Jiangnan Town. Mom only has Wang Yinhua as a classmate in the local area, but Sister Hua is still busy.
Mom also made many friends who were helped by his wife, but later there were more and more gossips between her and Bai Zhenxuan, and Mom gradually distanced herself from Mrs. Ban......
In a hurry, Xin Huan couldn't find anyone to accompany her mother!
Xin Huan took a deep breath, reached out and pinched his cheeks, tried to hold up a smile, and pretended to be happy and ran into his mother's room: "Mom, let's go!" I'll go shopping with my mother! β
Xin Ziyang's grandson can be untrustworthy, others can be busy as much as they want, and her, she can accompany her mother!
Lin Ning was stunned when he heard this, stretched out his fingers that were blowing the wind and retracted them: "Your father, he's not coming back?" β
"Oh, my dad just called me. After that, he said that there was something temporary. He said that tomorrow, tomorrow must have pushed everything off......" Xin Huan said to himself, feeling that every word was piercing.
"Oh," Lin Ning smiled, "I understand." Your dad now puts everything on the syndicate, he doesn't want to disappoint his ancestors, and he doesn't want outsiders to look down on him. Huanhuan, I understand your father's distress, and you don't blame him. β
Lin Ning began to take off his jewelry and undress as he spoke. Xin Huan hurriedly stopped: "Mom, what are you doing here?" Let's go shopping! β
"I'm not going." Lin Ning smiled softly: "It just so happens that I'm also a little uncomfortable, stay at home." β.
Xin Huan walked out of her mother's room in despair, and suddenly the doorbell rang on the door.
Xin Huan screamed and hurriedly ran over to open the door. It's a pity that it's not Xin Ziyang standing outside, but a person who looks like a food delivery. It's just that the food delivery person is dressed neatly, and the uniform looks haute couture.
Xin Huan was stunned and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?" β
The man looked at the address in his hand, and bowed politely: "May I ask if it's Xin Ziyang Xin Mansion?" β
Xin Huan's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart Could it be that Xin Ziyang couldn't come back by himself, but he found a way to buy something else to coax his mother? That's fine!
It's just that the man's next words made Xin Huan completely desperate: "...... This thing was given to Miss Xin Huanxin. β
Xin Huan took it in surprise: "Who sent it?" β
The man was still polite: "Miss Xin will know at a glance." I'll quit first, and then I'll see you later. β
It was a reddish food box, delicate and elegant. Xin Huan carried it into the house and opened it on the table, but saw two delicate snack boxes inside, cloisonnΓ©. When I opened it, it turned out to be the peach blossom cake and green jade beads I ate at Bai's house last time!
No wonder the cloisonnΓ© food box looks familiar, and the big red food box outside is not something that ordinary people will use.
There was a note cut from daisy leather paper, and it was written in small block letters with a miniature pen: I heard that Huanhuan likes to eat these two things, and I won't be able to come for a long time, so I will send a box for you to taste.
Xin Huan's heart fell.
She called. Asked Heyu, sure enough, it wasn't sent by Heyu!
The Red Snack Box is double-layered. Xin Huan picked off the lower layer again, and sure enough, he saw a fine porcelain pastel bowl again. Next to the bowl, there is a wide and narrow note with two fingers together, on which it is written: This is your mother's favorite almond cheese. She coughs easily in spring and autumn, and it is best to use this......
Xin Huan closed his eyes.
She understood.
After hesitating for a long time, she called Xin Ziyang again in despair, but to no avail...... She struggled to her feet, took a deep breath, picked up the bowl and walked to the kitchen, where she changed into a regular rice bowl for the family. When she went back and hid the food box, she packed it up before she entered the room with the almond cheese.
Lin Ning was taking a nap, Xin Huan coaxed her mother to taste it, and said blindly: "I just went down to buy some snacks, and I happened to see that there were some snacks on sale, and they were still hot, so I will buy them for you to taste." β
As a result, Lin Ning tasted it, and after just one bite, his complexion changed.
She turned her eyes to look at her daughter, as if something had reached the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back. only smiled indifferently: "The craftsmanship is okay." β
Xin Huan lowered his head: "Mom, you ate it, didn't you?" Even if it's just a mouthful, you know whose thing belongs to, don't you? β
