16 Chapter 16

Seeing that things at home were settled, Huo Tan people also relaxed.

Lin Xiugu looked at her eldest son, and when she saw that he was tired, she began to bombard: "Okay, it's not too early, what should I do, Jiulang, you stay, I have something to say to you." ”

Huo Chengpu and Huo Chengzhang grew up together, although there are some awkward things today, in the end, they are still children's hearts, the two of them glanced at each other, Huo Chengzhang took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Huo Chengpu: "Apu, let's go, I'll take you to play." ”

The two little ones left.

Huo Xinliu was still sitting there and didn't go out immediately.

Huo Xinzhi raised his eyes and glanced at his mother and younger brother and sister-in-law, and then said, "A-Niang, I have something to do at noon tomorrow, and I will do the work at home when I come back." ”

Although Huo Xinzhi is widowed at home, she is not idle, she occasionally goes out, sometimes to find some livelihood, sometimes to go to the street for a stroll.

Lin Xiugu just wanted to make her happy, so she didn't ask where she went, but said, "Okay, you're busy with you, don't worry about your work." ”

Huo Xinzhi nodded, got up and patted Huo Xinliu's shoulder, and pulled his stunned sister away.

Only Aunt Lin Xiu and her son and daughter-in-law were left in the hall.

She stood up and looked at Huo Tan, who also got up.

I don't know when it started, Huo Tan has replaced his father and become the new owner of this family.

He has a calm personality, is intelligent and capable, brave and resourceful.

Lin Xiugu was very relieved to hand over this home to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiugu said a little embarrassedly: "Jiulang, how am I behaving today?" ”

Huo Tan smiled and asked her to sit down: "A-Niang, you are so amazing, you shocked me." ”

Cui Yunzhao also said: "A-Niang, you teach well, which is a blessing for the family." ”

Aunt Lin Xiu was even more embarrassed when she said this.

"Oh, you're still careful."

"When Jiulang told me in the afternoon, I still didn't believe it, Twelve-Lang's child doesn't like to talk on weekdays, but there is no reason to be bullied and silent."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiugu suddenly sighed.

She is over forty years old this year, but because of the stumbling and hard work in her early years, the corners of her eyes have shown traces of time.

It's just that she is always smiling and energetic, so others can rarely feel that she is getting older.

She's not young anymore.

is not as desperate as she was when she was young, nor is she as busy as she was in charge of the housekeeping alone when her husband was rising.

Now, her children are growing up one after another, but she has grown old unconsciously.

"It's still that A-Niang is too careless," Lin Xiugu said as she looked at Cui Yunzhao and thanked her seriously, "Daughter-in-law, thank you." ”

Cui Yunzhao was thanked by the smart Huo Chengpu once today, and now he was thanked by Lin Xiugu again, and his heart was somewhat touched.

The Huo family actually treated her very politely, even if she reconciled with Huo Tan in the end in her previous life, these people from the Huo family would never be cold when they saw her.

But she was too young to find many details.

Cui Yunzhao pursed his lips and smiled: "Auntie, we are all a family, and we will see the outside world when we say this." ”

Lin Xiugu's eyes lit up.

She was a little fat, and her face was round, which was what an aunt next door should look like.

But her eyes are beautiful.

Especially the round apricot eyes, smiling before speaking, looking enthusiastic and cheerful.

"The daughter-in-law is really Cui's daughter, and her speech is really beautiful."

Huo Tan saw that the old lady and her daughter-in-law were fighting hotly, and hung herself aside, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

"Auntie."

Lin Xiugu immediately retracted her gaze.

She looked at her son with a puzzled look in her eyes, as if to ask him what was the matter?

Lin Xiugu is really careful when she is careful, but she is also careless when she is careless.

In this regard, Huo Tan has long been used to it.

He asked, "Ah Niang, you just said that there is something else, what is the matter?" ”

The smile on Lin Xiugu's face paused slightly, and she raised her head to look at her son, who was already taller than her.

At some point, he became a tall tree.

Lin Xiugu suddenly stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand and touched Huo Tan's head.

"Jiulang, you've done a good job, you're already very good."

Huo Tan was stunned.

Beside him, Cui Yunzhao quietly looked at everything in front of him.

Lin Xiugu gently touched her son's head, and her eyes flowed with clear love.

"You have worked very hard outside, and this family now depends on you to support it, because of you, your brothers and sisters can have the life they have today."

It's strange that Cui Yunzhao doesn't feel that Lin Xiugu's voice is deafening at all.

"So Jiulang, your brothers made a mistake, because my sister and you were not careful, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Xiugu told him very softly: "So I will be more careful and careful about your younger brothers, and I will come out of my sadness." ”

"Jiulang, you are married, you can relax and live your own life."

Huo Tan stood there and didn't move.

Even if Cui Yunzhao was not familiar with Aunt Lin Xiu in his previous life, he couldn't help but be a little moved when he reunited as a family in this life.

Lin Xiugu really doesn't know a single big word and has no knowledge, but she is a good mother.

Her heart for her children is genuine.

Huo Tan stood quietly with his back to Cui Yunzhao, and Cui Yunzhao couldn't see his expression.

He must have been impressed, too.

Cui Yunzhao thought so.

At this time, Huo Tan seemed to come back to his senses, responded in a low voice, and then praised seriously: "A-Niang is really good today, even better than before." ”

Lin Xiugu grinned.

She responded and pushed Huo Tan: "Go back and rest, it's not too early." ”

Huo Tan nodded and turned to look at Cui Yunzhao.

Cui Yunzhao crashed into his deep eyes with a glance.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to be extraordinarily bright.

The lights in the house are bright, and the stars outside the house are bright, but Huo Tan's eyes seem to be brighter than the bright moon on the horizon.

Huo Tan saw that Cui Yunzhao's face was a little moved, his heart moved slightly, he nodded to Cui Yunzhao, and his voice was rarely soft.

"Let's go, let's go home."

Cui Yunzhao didn't say much, only said goodbye to Aunt Lin Xiu, and left side by side with Huo Tan.

On the way back, it was quiet at first.

When he walked to the Moon Gate, Cui Yunzhao suddenly spoke: "I envy you a little. ”

Huo Tan was very smart, he didn't ask why, only said, "Is it because of A-Niang?" ”

Cui Yunzhao looked up at the flickering galaxy.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing red on her delicate cheeks.

"Yes, because of A-Niang."

"My parents passed away one after another when I was thirteen years old," Cui Yunzhao's voice was calmer than Huo Tan imagined, "Five years have passed, and I almost can't remember my mother's face." ”

Her voice was melodious, slowly dissipating into the silence of the sky with the cold wind of winter.

"What does a mother look like?"

Although it has been five years since the death of her parents, for her who has already relived or restarted, it seems that a thousand years have passed since her parents left.

Fifteen years, fifteen years.

Half of her life.

Huo Tan quietly looked at her side face, looked at her frozen red cheeks, and looked at her reddened phoenix eyes.

At this moment, his heart seemed to twitch as well.

The evening breeze was blowing, getting more and more urgent, and it already had a cold taste.

Huo Tan felt the coldness in the wind, slowly stretched out his hand, and held Cui Yunzhao's cold hand.

"Lady, it's cold at night, let's go back."

Cui Yunzhao suddenly retracted his gaze.

She blinked, letting her thoughts fall back, and then she heard Huo Tan's steady voice sound.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law may have become stars in the sky, lighting your way home and warming you every night."

"They never left you."

Cui Yunzhao only felt choked in her heart, not for Huo Tan's words, but because she did miss her parents.

Huo Tan continued: "If the father-in-law and mother-in-law are still there, probably we won't be able to get married. ”

These words were a little unexpected, but Huo Tan didn't give her a chance to think deeply, took her hand, and led her back to the bedroom first.

When the brocade cotton tent was opened, a warmth rushed in.

In the house, there are oranges abundant in Boling, which are faintly sweet.

Every scene and object in this room was placed according to Cui Yunzhao's habits, and Huo Tan did not question a word.

The scenery in the house is familiar and unfamiliar, but the fruity fragrance that has not changed over the years still accompanies Cui Yunzhao.

She exhaled, "Yes, if my father and mother were still here, I would never marry you." ”

Huo Tan grinned, he asked Cui Yunzhao to sit down, and then he stood firmly in front of her like a wall.

"So, when you look at your husband's heroism, don't you feel so sad?"

Cui Yunzhao: "......"

Cui Yunzhao was almost laughed at by his facelessness.

She glared at him and said, "Why don't you go wash up?" It's not early, I'm sleepy. ”

Huo Tan looked at her expression again, and saw that she was not as sad as Fang Cai, so he said, "Order!" ”

The couple washed separately and soon rested.

When the curtain fell, the darkness suddenly came, Cui Yunzhao didn't know how, and suddenly felt very down-to-earth in his heart.

After being reborn, if the lives of others can be changed, then her own must also be able to.

As long as she works hard, she can clear all obstacles.

Thinking like this, Cui Yunzhao couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, and was about to fall into a deep sleep.

But Huo Tan opened his mouth.

"Lady, I'm not joking with you."

Huo Tan's voice was very steady and deep, like an old spirit, drunk and smoky.

is not a shy young man in front of his mother, not a strong and reliable brother in front of his younger brother, Huo Tan at this moment is just Cui Yunzhao's husband.

The two of them were covered with brocade quilts and lay side by side in the dark stepping bed, warm and comfortable.

Huo Tan didn't go to see Cui Yunzhao, he just said to her very seriously: "Lady, since you married me and we have become a family, then I will treat you well." ”

"I hope you will be safe and happy in the future, and you will always smile, and I hope that your future life will be no different from when your father-in-law and mother-in-law were there."

"I also hope that no one can let you be wronged."

"Lady, okay?"

Cui Yunzhao closed his eyes in a hurry.

Huo Tan waited, but he never waited for Cui Yunzhao's answer.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Cui Yunzhao heard Huo Tan laugh lowly, and his deep voice seemed to whisper in his ear: "Lady, sleep, good night." ”
