The world outside has long been covered with ice and snow, everything is wrapped in silver and the air is freezing.
The biting cold wind howled as if it could penetrate into one's bones.
The ground was covered with thick ice, and people could easily fall to the ground if they were not careful.
Ruan Xiaotang's heart felt like it was overgrown with weeds, in a mess.
Ever since she learned the good news that Sister Hua was pregnant, she couldn't wait to rush to Sister Hua and express her congratulations to her in person, congratulating her on finally becoming a mother.
The weather was not good. A heavy snow suddenly came yesterday and kept falling.
Judging from the current situation, it will take several days for the snow to melt away completely.
You have to know that in this era, convenient communication tools such as telephones were not yet popular in every household.
In this case, how could Ruan Xiaotang convey her excitement to Sister Hua?
She sat in the chair in a daze, her eyes lifeless, staring blankly at the white snow scene outside the window, her mind full of thoughts.
Zhou Xingze persuaded her earnestly for a whole morning, and finally gradually dispelled her willful idea of going out regardless of the consequences.
He picked up a blanket and covered her knees.
Seeing her face that was so gloomy that it seemed like black water could drip out, Zhou Xingze's heart tightened, and he hurriedly tried to coax her in various ways: "Don't be unhappy, I have already conveyed your earnest expectations to my sister-in-law without missing a word. My sister-in-law was very moved after hearing it, and she expressed her most sincere and heartfelt thanks to you. She said that you can rest assured and take good care of the baby. There are still many days to come, and there is plenty of time for us to exchange parenting experiences together."
However, Ruan Xiaotang didn't seem to feel much better because of these words. She bit her lip and suddenly said, "I want to move back."
This suggestion, which she took the initiative to propose, sounded a bit harsh and capricious, but in fact, only she herself knew what she really thought in her heart - as the saying goes, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as her own simple but warm thatched nest!
She really wanted to return to her own home.
When Zhou Xingze heard this, he quickly pulled a chair over and sat down, then gently took her hand and asked softly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable living here?"
As expected, he is still so suspicious.
Ruan Xiaotang sighed inwardly, then quickly shook her head and explained: "It's not like that, it's really not! I just simply want to go home. After all, living in my own home is more free and comfortable."
Zhou Xingze stared into her eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of her words.
He said earnestly, "Since you got pregnant, our mother has devoted all her energy to you. She has high expectations for you. Every day, she either racks her brains to cook all kinds of delicious food for you, or she is looking forward to you and the baby in your belly being healthy. She is thinking about you giving birth to our Zhou family's first grandson or granddaughter smoothly. You know, my mother is old, and she is looking forward to having a grandson. However, at such a critical moment, you suddenly proposed to move out. How can the old lady not worry too much?"
At this time, Ruan Xiaotang lowered her head silently, picking her nails constantly, listening carefully to every word the other party said.
I have to admit that this analysis is indeed very logical and irrefutable.
Yes, after such an analysis, Ruan Xiaotang slowly began to understand her mother-in-law.
Who else can truly understand her innermost thoughts and feelings?
She lives in such a large family with many family members and complicated relationships.
Everyone seems to have his or her own little thoughts and plans.
They each act independently, scheming against each other for their own interests, completely disregarding the circumstances and feelings of others.
For her, every day spent in this house is like walking on a tightrope. She has to be very careful and tread carefully on thin ice.
If you are not careful, it may cause unnecessary trouble or even conflict.
However, even though she acted so cautiously, she still could not avoid the troubles that followed one after another.
In the days before, bad things kept happening one after another, leaving her overwhelmed and exhausted.
These things were like a heavy burden that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Her heart, which was originally full of vitality and enthusiasm, gradually became exhausted by this series of blows.
Zhou Xingze stared quietly at the stubborn woman in front of him. He knew in his heart that even though he had tried to persuade her earnestly for a long time, she was obviously not convinced by him.
Looking at her determined and uncompromising expression, Zhou Xingze couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
After all, she is in a special period at the moment, and her emotions are sensitive and fragile. If you take an overly tough attitude to order her, it will probably backfire.
Therefore, Zhou Xingze could only try his best to persuade her in a tactful and gentle way, hoping to untie her knot and cheer her up again.
"There are many people at home and many things to do. I understand your dilemma, but you are in a special period of pregnancy and you can't be without someone to take care of you. It's unrealistic to rely on me for everything. Sometimes I'm busy and I'm not at home for several days or even ten days or half a month. How can I rest assured that you are alone at home? What if something unexpected happens? How can I live?"
