Chapter 447 Make Up
If the little guy is not told in advance that his father is injured, when the family reunites during the New Year, he will probably be scared when he sees his father lying on the bed, covered in wounds and unable to move.
Children are young and their psychological endurance is not as good as that of adults. Xu Qingsui is really worried that the little guy will not be able to accept it.
She thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, we should send the child to my brother and Lin Wan, so that he can spend the New Year with his uncle and aunt this year. When you get better, you can meet him again. What do you think of this idea?"
"Although Youyou is young, don't underestimate our son's ability to bear. Perhaps you should learn to let him accept the cruelty of this world. Protecting him too well in a family like ours may not be a good thing for him." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui: "Of course, this is just my own idea. No matter what you plan to do in the end, I support and respect you."
Old Madam Huo listened to the conversation between the two without interrupting. How parents educate their children has nothing to do with her as a grandmother, not to mention that she is not very good at educating children.
The fact that Huo Xilin can grow up to be so outstanding has a lot to do with his grandfather.
Therefore, Mrs. Huo is more in agreement with Huo Xilin's parenting philosophy, but as a mother, Xu Qingsui will spoil the child more, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Huo Xilin's words made Xu Qingsui fall into deep thought. If it were in the past, she would not agree with Huo Xilin's statement. It was precisely because she had suffered a lot in her childhood that she wanted to protect her child tightly and let him have a carefree childhood. As for the wind and rain in the outside world, his parents would naturally help him shield him from it.
But a lot of things have happened recently, especially Huo Xilin's accident, which made Xu Qingsui understand a truth: accidents can happen at any time. No matter how well they plan for their children, there will always be things that they cannot plan for. Instead of thinking about sheltering the children from wind and rain, it is better to give him the ability to shelter from wind and rain.
If one day, his parents can no longer protect him from the wind and rain, he will be able to live a good life in this world.
Besides, although Xu Youyou is a child and young, he should have the right to know that his father is injured and hospitalized.
"Mom, when you come over tomorrow, please bring Youyou with you. He should know about his father's current situation." Xu Qingsui said to Madam Huo.
"Have you made up your mind?" asked Mrs. Huo.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "He will know sooner or later, so why not give him some time to adapt so that the whole family can have a good New Year together."
"Okay, then I'll pick up Youyou tomorrow and bring him to the hospital." Mrs. Huo said, and then she glanced at the time: "I asked Aunt Wang to make some food, and we'll have dinner together later."
As soon as Mrs. Huo finished speaking, Aunt Wang came in with a lunch box and put the food on the table. They were all ingredients for nourishing the body.
"You have worked hard in taking care of Xilin recently. I asked Aunt Wang to make these specially. You must eat more. Don't lose any more weight." Old Madam Huo said with concern while constantly putting food into Xu Qingsui's bowl. After a while, her bowl was piled high with food.
It was difficult for Xu Qingsui to refuse, so he could only look to Huo Xilin lying on the hospital bed for help, hoping that he could speak to him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xilin smiled and said, "Eat quickly. These are gifts from Aunt Wang and mother. You must finish them."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
This stinky man is always unreliable at critical moments!
Faced with the warm hospitality of Mrs. Huo and Aunt Wang, Xu Qingsui could not refuse the kindness and had no choice but to stuff food into his mouth desperately.
Although Aunt Wang is an excellent cook and the food she makes is delicious, after eating two bowls of rice and drinking three bowls of soup in a row, Xu Qingsui really can't eat anymore.
"Mom, Aunt Wang, I'm full. Thank you for your kindness." After Xu Qingsui finished speaking, he looked at Huo Xilin for help again.
"Are you full already? No, eat more. You are too thin. It hurts your mother to see you like this." Old Madam Huo said stubbornly.
The more she looked at Xu Qingsui, the more she liked her. She loved this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she hoped to raise her to be plump and white.
In the eyes of Mrs. Huo, Xu Qingsui is now too thin.
Huo Xilin saw Xu Qingsui's pleading eyes and felt that she was so pitiful, especially the way she quietly rubbed her belly with one hand, which simply melted his heart.
"Mom, she's full, don't force her. Eat small meals frequently. It's not healthy to eat too much at one time."
After Huo Xilin's reminder, Mrs. Huo realized that her behavior of persuading Xu Qingsui to eat was too exaggerated.
She smiled awkwardly at Xu Qingsui and said, "Yes, yes, eat small meals frequently. I've seen you lose weight recently and I'm worried. Don't blame me."
Mrs. Huo, who is always shrewd and decisive, can also be inconsiderate sometimes.
Xu Qingsui was touched and understood that Madam Huo was thinking about her health: "Mom, I can't thank you enough, how could I blame you? I remember when I was a child, my biological mother also persuaded me to eat in this way. Your kindness to me is the same as my biological mother's."
She once again felt the maternal love that she had been missing for many years in Old Madam Huo. Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Mrs. Huo sighed secretly, gently took Xu Qingsui's hand, stroked it in her palm, and said gently: "I am Huo Xilin's mother, and you are his wife. Since you call me mom, I am your real mother. I will take your place and love you well. When I was young, I was busy with business. I may have some experience in business, but I am not responsible for being a mother."
At this point, Mrs. Huo's tone was filled with shame: "Xilin suffered a lot when he was a child. By the time I realized the importance of children, he no longer needed me, so I wanted to make it up to you. If mother has been inconsiderate, you and Xilin should not hold it against mother."
Xu Qingsui turned his gaze to Huo Xilin, wanting to see his reaction.
Mrs. Huo's words were not only spoken to herself, but also to Huo Xilin.
Although she was Huo Xilin's wife, she could not forgive Huo Xilin for everything his mother had done on his behalf as a child.
"It's all in the past, why bring up those things?" Huo Xilin said calmly.
