Chapter 85 The Truth
Zhong Heyang came back half an hour later. It turned out that he had gone to buy meat. Not only that, he also bought an old hen.
"If you are free today, why don't you come home for lunch? I plan to pick up Xueyuan so that we can have a good family reunion at noon." Lin Ziqiu thought for a moment, "I probably won't be able to make it at noon, so you guys should just stay with Xueyuan."
It’s not that she really can’t come back, but the secret that Zhong Xueyuan has hidden from so many people for so many years was suddenly revealed by her grandmother. After all, she is a new bride.
In the eyes of this sister-in-law, whom she has never met, I am probably still a stranger.
Therefore, it would be best for her not to attend such an important occasion at noon.
Zhong Heyang knew that she always had her own considerations when doing things, and he also understood that she was the most understanding, so he did not force her.
"Then come back early in the evening and drink some chicken soup to replenish your body."
Lin Ziqiu smiled and replied, "Okay! Thanks to Xueyuan, I'm going to have a great meal tonight!"
Zhong Heyang raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose. "If you like it, I'll buy another one tomorrow."
Lin Ziqiu quickly stopped him: "No, no, no, we eat well enough on weekdays!" You know, these days, many families may not be able to eat a bite of meat during the Chinese New Year.
The food at the Zhong family has always been excellent. Not that there is meat at every meal, but they eat meat at least five days out of seven.
Otherwise, where did the flesh on Zhong Xuexi grow from?
"Xiao Qiu is so frugal and manages the household well. He Yang, you've found a treasure." Grandma's joking voice came from behind.
"Grandma! You're always teasing me!" Lin Ziqiu's ears turned red. She immediately urged Zhong Heyang, "Well... it's getting late. I'll go to work by myself today. You go and have breakfast."
"I'll take you there first."
Zhong Heyang had no appetite at all and even went to the army to ask for leave early in the morning.
"It's cold outside, let He Yang take you there!"
Grandma also spoke, so Lin Ziqiu had no choice but to obey.
After dropping the man off, Lin Ziqiu watched his departing back, thought of the man's red, frozen hands when he got off the car just now, and began to pick out men's gloves in the warehouse. After choosing and choosing, I feel that none of them can fit into the style of this era.
Or...knit him a pair?
But she is terrible at sewing.
When her mother was alive as a child, she had never encountered these things.
Later, when I returned home, I could only wear clothes that Lin Mengyao didn't want. Sometimes the clothes were too big or torn, so I had to mend them.
As for needlework, she can do it, but only a little.
Knitting gloves is considered a technical job, and I can only ask my grandma for advice when the time comes.
Not only gloves, but you can also knit a scarf.
She did have some wool stored in her warehouse, which came in handy.

The art troupe is not far from the compound.
Zhong Heyang plans to pick up Zhong Xueyuan and the two children. Zhong Xuexi also wanted to go, so she took the initiative to say, "I'll go with you."
"You should stay at home and help grandma!"
Zhong Heyang was afraid that Zhong Xueyuan would get emotional when she saw Zhong Xuexi, and what would he do if she didn’t want to come back?
Zhong Xuexi wanted to go last night. She had a lot of things in her mind and wanted to say to Xue Yuan, "Brother! Just let me go! I promise to listen to you and never make trouble!"
Zhong Heyang was still hesitating.
Li Guixiang walked out of the house and said, "He Yang, just take your sister with you. Yuanyuan has been reluctant to go home. Maybe if the two sisters talk it out, she will be willing to come back."
"Don't worry, I will definitely admit my mistake to my sister. Even if she hits me or scolds me, I will never fight back!"
Zhong Xuexi raised her finger, her tone extremely sincere, as if she was swearing.
Art troupe.
"Mom! Let me help you fold the clothes!ux"
Zhong Xueyuan was packing her luggage. Since she was going to the capital next week, she was not in a hurry to ask Zhong Heyang to pick up the two children.
Looking at her daughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Zhong Xueyuan didn't know how to tell her that she was going to the capital.
"No, you and your brother can go play outside, mom can handle these things on your own."
Zhong Niannian looked at her with a depressed face, "Mom, are you leaving?"
Zhong Xueyuan's heart trembled, "Did anyone tell you anything?"
Zhong Niannian hugged her legs and said, "Mom, can you please not leave... My brother and I can't bear to leave you..."
In the past few years, she and Zhong Siyu have been raised in the Zhong family, and the time they have spent with their mother is very limited. They don't want to leave their mother again.
Zhong Xueyuan felt very sad, going to the capital was a foregone conclusion.
It's not only about her own future, but more importantly, she wants to take Zhong Siyu there for medical treatment.
She squatted down, hugged the little girl in her arms, and said in a low voice, "Mom is going to take my brother to get treatment. You stay with grandma and uncle. When my brother is cured, I will come to pick you up, okay?"
Zhong Niannian froze, her voice full of grievance, "Why doesn't mom take me with you? I will be very obedient, I can take care of myself, and I won't cause any trouble for mom..."
With tears in her eyes, she pleaded pitifully, "Mom, please don't abandon me..."
Maybe it's telepathy between brother and sister.
Zhong Siyu, who was sitting aside playing marbles, suddenly stood up. He walked to Zhong Niannian's side, shook his head at her, and signaled his sister not to cry.
Zhong Niannian felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears.
Zhong Xueyuan felt extremely guilty, but there was nothing she could do.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Xueyuan - what happened? Did anyone bully Nian Nian?"
It was Zhong Heyang's voice.
Zhong Xueyuan patted the little girl in her arms soothingly. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a man and a woman walking towards her.
The moment she saw Zhong Xuexi, Zhong Xueyuan was obviously a little surprised. She subconsciously wanted to ignore Zhong Xuexi's existence. Ever since she married Wei Zhihe, Zhong Xuexi had regarded her as an enemy.
From then on, I never called her "sister" again.
"elder sister."
Zhong Xuexi took the initiative to step forward and call her, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhong Niannian, who was crying just now, suddenly stopped crying and hurriedly stood in front of her mother, "You...you are not allowed to bully my mother!"
It was the first time that Zhong Niannian spoke to Zhong Xuexi in this tone.
On weekdays, when she was at home, she was extremely well-behaved, especially in front of Zhong Xuexi. She was always flattering and obedient, and never dared to disobey her elders.
Obviously, she was worried that Zhong Xuexi would bully her mother.
Faced with such a scene, Zhong Xuexi felt heartbroken.
How cruel she was in the past to make a child afraid that she would bully Xue Yuan.
"Niannian, take your brother out first." Zhong Xueyuan pulled her daughter aside and gently coaxed her, "Don't worry, Mommy is fine."
Zhong Niannian was very worried, but she didn't want to make her mother unhappy, so she looked at Zhong Heyang eagerly.
Zhong Heyang gave her a reassuring look, "Uncle is here, everything will be fine."
Zhong Niannian sniffed, then took her brother's hand and walked out carefully.
