Xu Qianrou's emotions also calmed down. She knew in her heart that no matter what she did in this family, she still needed Grandma Xu's support.
So she pretended to be grateful, holding Grandma Xu's wrinkled hands tightly, her eyes filled with crystal clear tears, like two gems soaked in dew, sparkling with a faint and charming light.
She stared at Grandma Xu with eyes full of sorrow and regret, and said in a choked voice: "Grandma, please forgive me. I really shouldn't have been so rude to you. I... I really didn't mean it... I..." At the end,
She was speechless and just kept repeating the word "I", as if she could not find any other suitable words to express her guilt.
"Okay, okay, don't say anything. Grandma knows that you are pregnant. It is normal to have some mood swings. How can grandma blame you?" Grandma Xu looked at her granddaughter in front of her with a pale face and weak body. Her face was full of heartache. Before she could finish her words, she hurriedly interrupted her and gently patted her hands, comforting her in a very gentle tone.
When Xu Qianrou heard Grandma Xu say this, she looked at her with pretended emotion and said, "Thank you, Grandma. You are so kind to me."
"You're my eldest granddaughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Grandma Xu's serious face was covered with a gentle smile, and she gently soothed her emotions. "Okay, okay, you've suffered so much today. Go back and have a good rest. Grandma will ask your mother to make you something delicious to nourish your body."
Xu Qianrou nodded, "Okay, thank you grandma."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the whole room began to slowly change, becoming warmer and more harmonious.
The communication between Grandma Xu and Xu Qianrou became more and more intimate. They cared about each other and expressed their love to each other.
-------------------------------------
As the sun gradually set, the colors of the sky slowly changed. The brilliant golden yellow gave way to an orange-red hue, and the horizon seemed to be ablaze with a brilliant flame. As time passed, this flame gradually spread, dyeing the entire sky a dark red.
The afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, and the sky grew darker. Stars began to twinkle quietly in the night sky, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching the earth. The moon also slowly climbed up the branches, casting a cool light.
It's dinner time. The room is filled with heat and fragrance, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and chicken stewed with mushrooms. These were all carefully prepared by Aunt Xu. She was very happy tonight and was willing to use oil and salt when cooking, so the dishes were very fragrant.
It is also possible that the promise that Brother Xu painted for her was too big. She felt that she had become the mother of a high-ranking official and would no longer have to be stingy in the future. Therefore, the portions of food tonight were unusually large, enough to feed so many people.
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen exchanged a glance, and saw amusement and anticipation in each other's eyes. They really wanted to see what would happen next. What would the plot be like? It really made them curious...
The elders sat in the main seats, the younger generations sat around together, and the children played excitedly, eagerly waiting for the meal to start.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking around Brother Xu and imagining their future life together, as if Brother Xu had already become a high-ranking official.
The people from the second branch of the Xu family listened quietly on the side, occasionally flattering a few words, and the rest of them just kept eating.
For them, it doesn't matter whether Brother Xu becomes a high-ranking official or not. They are from two families. Of course, it would be best if he can become one, but it doesn't matter to them if he can't.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. The people in the first room envisioned a bright future, and the people in the second room enjoyed the delicious food. Everyone got what they wanted, and they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Night has completely fallen, the sky is pitch black, only the stars and the moon are still emitting a faint light. At this time, the world seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, making people feel a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.
Mother Xu looked at the sky outside the window and calmly nudged Father Xu next to her with her elbow. Father Xu was happily chatting with them when he suddenly felt Mother Xu's call.
He pretended to drink water, turned to look at Xu's mother, and asked with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Xu's mother winked at him and said, "Look at the sky, it's getting late, we should go back."
Father Xu nodded, put down his water cup, turned around and talked to them for a few more words, then suddenly said: "Brother, it's getting late, let's go back first."
Uncle Xu was happily chatting with his father, but after hearing what Father Xu said, he couldn't persuade him to stay. He could only say reluctantly, "Okay, it's really getting late. So be careful when you go back."
"Hey, we will." After saying that, he stood up and put on his shoes, then walked to Grandma Xu, "Mom, it's getting late, let's go back first."
Grandma Xu nodded and said with a drunken smile, "Okay, go back and be careful."
She was so happy tonight that she drank a couple of glasses too much. She felt a little dizzy, but it didn't matter. Her grandson was going to be a high-ranking official. She was happy, she was so happy...
So even Xu's father started to like him and gently told him to be careful, saying that under normal circumstances, he would never be treated so well.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Xu and the others, the family put on their shoes and prepared to walk home.
The two houses are very close to each other, and their doors were previously together. Now, in order to avoid being known by everyone coming in and out, the second house moved the door to the other side. This way, everyone has space and they don’t have to bump into each other when coming in and out.
-------------------------------------
Time is like the sand in an hourglass, passing away quietly and silently, but flowing forward steadily, never stopping.
The early morning sunlight shines through the window and falls on the floor, forming spots of light. As time goes by, they move slowly, as if reminding people of the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, it is the day to go back to work after the New Year. Today is Xu Qianjiao's first day at work.
