Chapter 29: Fawned
Lu Yingzheng was in the leadership office at this time.
As soon as he came back, he canceled his leave and submitted his marriage report.
The office was too quiet, and although I tried my best to control my reaction, the sound was still obvious.
"Xiao Lu, you can even choke when drinking water. Are you nervous about this marriage report?"
Lu Yingzheng was teased and could only say that he was careless.
He looked out the window.
This Yu Xiangwan!
…
Yu Xiangwan and Lu Yingxiao were decorating Yu Xiangchen's room together.
"Xiao Xiao is so amazing!" Yu Xiangwan praised him while pasting paper cuttings.
She got inspiration from her and Lu Yingzheng's wedding room and asked Lu Yingxiao for help.
Lu Yingxiao drew a lot of Q-version animals and plants as she said, and they cut them out and pasted them around.
After everything was pasted, Yu Xiangwan stepped back a few steps, put his arm around Lu Yingxiao's shoulders and admired him.
"Look at it, it's so beautiful."
Lu Yingxiao's face was red and her lips were pursed into a curve.
"Xiao Xiao's painting is really great!" Yu Xiangwan praised repeatedly.
Lu Yingxiao whispered, "No, it's your idea, sister-in-law."
Her eyes sparkled, and she looked at Yu Xiangwan with admiration: "I never thought I could draw like this before."
"It's just a different style," Yu Xiangwan thought, and asked, "Does Xiao Xiao want to learn painting from other teachers?"
I don’t know whether Yu Cuilan has mentioned this to Xiaoxiao.
Lu Yingxiao directly gave the answer to this question: "Yes, and my mother also asked me this question."
Yu Xiangwan: “Oh.”
They sat down.
Yu Xiangwan touched Lu Yingxiao's head and asked, "Did your mother tell you where you studied?"
Lu Yingxiao: "My mother told me that I could go to study with my brother, but..."
The little girl was a little distressed.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiangwan asked softly.
【Hey, I am also a caring big sister. 】
Lu Yingxiao said, "Mother seems to be afraid of disturbing you, brother and sister-in-law."
"How could that be?" Yu Xiangwan rejected it immediately.
She gave an example: "Do you remember what happened two days ago? We were just living together. We were living happily together. How could it be disturbing?"
"Go back and have a good talk with mom, and tell her what sister-in-law said today."
Lu Yingxiao nodded obediently.
Yu Xiangwan waited for several days, but received no reply from Yu Cuilan. ???
I guess I need to think about that.
There’s no rush anyway. There are still two months until the New Year, so I can think about it slowly.
In the blink of an eye, it was Yu Xiangchen's wedding day.
When Yu Xiangwan woke up early in the morning, she was given two scarves.
She touched him curiously and said, "Brother, you are really good. You didn't forget me even after you got married."
These two scarves, one is red and the other is blue. The stitching of the blue scarf is obviously better than that of the red one.
"This isn't for your practice, is it? Did you weave the blue one later?" Yu Xiangwan guessed.
Yu Xiangchen coughed lightly and said, "The blue one was given to you by Ying Zhengzhi."
Yu Xiangwan:!
She lowered her head in disbelief and looked at the scarf.
【Lu Yingzheng knitted a scarf for me?!】
【I am flattered! 】
Yu Xiangchen joked: "Looking at your reaction, it seems like you shouldn't have received his gift."
【Actually, I shouldn’t have received it! 】
Yu Xiangwan complained in her heart, but smiled and said, "I guarantee that my sister-in-law will have the same reaction as me when she receives the scarf."
Yu Xiangchen scratched his head: "That's true."
Yu Xiangwan took the scarf back to the room.
[I have to say that Lu Yingzheng is sometimes quite considerate.
[I would take the initiative to ask the elders to let me go home and live freely, and would give the gift to my brother and ask him to give it to me.]
It didn't take long for Xiang Hong to find out that Yu Xiangwan had received the scarf.
"Look, Ying Zheng cares about you so much, you have to care about Ying Zheng too."
Yu Xiangwan made a blank promise: "I care about him too."
"How is it reflected?" Xiang Hong asked.
"Husbands and wives should also take care of each other. If he gives you something, you should give him something too. Send him something before the Chinese New Year. The fish floss and pork floss you make are delicious."
Yu Xiangwan: "But we will meet after the New Year."
"The year after is the year after, and the year before is the year before. How can they be the same?" Xiang Hong said unhappily.
"Since you have to eat tomorrow, why don't you have to eat today?"
Yu Xiangwan didn't continue the argument.
All right.
Just for show.
Just think of it as a reward for knitting a scarf for him.
But this is not the focus today, we will do it later.
The highlight of today is Yu Xiangchen's wedding.
Yu Xiangwan followed her brother to welcome the bride.
Li Yumei's home is at the end of the village. The house is arguably the worst in the village because she has a paralyzed father and a not very smart brother.
"Go away and don't come back again!" The old man's voice came from the house.
Isn't this... a bit too hurtful?
Yu Xiangwan looked at Li Yumei, fearing that her sister-in-law would be sad.
Li Yumei cried loudly.
Yu Cuilan explained to her: "It's okay."
"This is because Mr. Li loves his daughter."
Yu Xiangwan couldn't find any connection to this incident in his memory and didn't quite understand it.
Yu Cuilan explained: "Yumei's family is good. Yumei has spent too many years for this family. Old Litou doesn't want to burden his daughter anymore, so he told Yumei not to come back and let her live a good life."
"Alas, it's all for the children." Yu Cuilan sighed.
As a parent herself, she understood Lao Litou's feelings very well.
At this moment, her hand was suddenly held tightly.
"Mom," Yu Xiangwan said, "you have never been a burden to Lu Yingzheng."
After thinking for a while, Yu Xiangwan added: "It's not my burden either."
"I heard from Xiao Xiao that I really don't mind living with the elders. It will be more lively with more people."
Yu Cuilan felt warm in her heart.
"Okay, I understand, but I never worried about this."
Since the topic was brought up, Yu Cuilan continued.
She looked towards the back of the mountain and said, "I can't bear to leave Ying Zheng's father and this family."
"Every table, chair, blade of grass, and tree in this home carry the memories of me and Ying Zheng's father."
"I live here as if my father Ying Zheng is still with me."
Listening to Yu Cuilan's low voice, Yu Xiangwan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Only the person involved can understand this deep feeling.
Yu Xiangwan understood why Yu Cuilan was so entangled.
"But I can't let Xiao Xiao waste his time in the village just for my own selfish reasons." Yu Cuilan's eyes were full of kindness.
The child's future seemed to be more important than her selfishness.
Yu Xiangwan frowned.
She wondered if there was a way to have the best of both worlds.
"Mom," Yu Xiangwan suddenly had an idea, "How about you hand Xiao Xiao over to us and you stay?"
Yu Cuilan was slightly startled, and then shook her head repeatedly: "How can I do that?"
As soon as she said this, she realized that there was some ambiguity in her words. Yu Cuilan explained, "It's not that I don't trust you, but Xiao Xiao is my child and it's my responsibility. How can I let you, as my brother and sister-in-law, bear the responsibility?"
Yu Xiangwan smiled: "What's the big deal? Why should we talk about two families when we are one family?"
[Xiao Xiao definitely cannot stay in the village, otherwise the risk is too great.]
Yu Xiangwan stopped and said earnestly, "Mom, I think a woman should be herself first before she can be someone else's wife or mother."
"Your feelings for your father are your true feelings. Such feelings are precious and cannot be replaced by others."
Even Yu Xiangwan admired this kind of steadfast love.
"Xiao Xiao can be taken care of by other family members. Besides, we can come back to visit you during holidays. If you miss us, you can also come to visit us."
"It's not like we'll never see each other again. When you feel you can completely get out of here, we can discuss the future."
Yu Xiangwan even patted his chest and guaranteed: "I think Lu Yingzheng will definitely agree with this!"
Lu Yingzheng: Very good, Yu Xiangwan has become his spokesperson.
But in fact, he did agree with this suggestion.
He walked towards the post office.
All right, send a telegram home so that he and Yu Xiangwan can have a moment of telepathy.
