Chapter 142 Thinking of Xu Muzhou

Xu Muzhou has not returned from his mission yet.

Xiao Qingru was alone at home and had nothing to do at night, so she went to bed as soon as it got dark.

After waking up in the middle of the night, I always feel empty inside and can't fall asleep.

I tossed and turned in bed until dawn.

Xiao Qingru thought that maybe it was because the space was too quiet for one person, and there was no one to talk to, so she didn't behave so abnormally.

It happened to be a day off, so after washing up she went back to her parents' home.

Xiao's mother was shocked by her. "You stayed up late? How come you are so tired?"

Xiao Qingru was embarrassed to say that she was asleep, and only said that she was listening to the radio at night without paying attention to the time and accidentally listened until midnight.

Xiao's mother couldn't help but nag, "It's really not good to have no one to take care of you at home. How about this, you go home at night."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Xiao's mother calculated the time and asked, "Xiao Xu has been away for half a month, right? Is it time for him to come back?"

"I don't know either."

Xiao's mother sighed, "When you were dating, your dad said he didn't want you to suffer. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time because I had been there too. Now I understand that your dad was indeed foresighted."

As parents, we never complain no matter how much hardship we have to endure.

But seeing children suffer makes me feel bad.

Xiao Qingru had not expected this to happen. "Didn't you support Xu Muzhou and me at the beginning?"

"Your father didn't support it at first and wanted you to marry into an ordinary family."

"If Xu Muzhou knew about this, he would definitely feel very upset."

Xiao's mother said angrily, "Why are you telling me this when you have nothing to do? Stop bullying me all the time."

Xiao Qingru was not right, and her temper was not strong, "I didn't bully anyone."

"I've seen you bully Xiao Xu a lot, and it's only because I'm good-tempered that I can tolerate you. If it were another man, there would probably be a quarrel."

"That's not an exaggeration."

"You haven't seen many people before, so you don't know how complicated people are."

In Xiao's mother's eyes, her daughter is still a child who needs protection.

He sighed, "Only Xiao Xu is willing to play with you."

Xiao Qingru agreed with this statement. She was not a person without vision. When she first discussed the relationship with Jiang Chuan, she was not so willful.

The only two relationships in life made Xiao Qingru understand how important it is to choose the right partner.

Some people may think that all men are the same and it doesn't matter who they marry.

But Xiao Qingru knew that it was completely different.

Xiao's mother went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. "If you had come earlier, we could have eaten together. Now you can only eat the leftovers."

Xiao Qingru is not picky and considers it good as long as there is something to eat.

"You eat first, and I'll make you a brown sugar egg."

Xiao Qingru quickly refused, "No, this is enough for me."

"You are not in good health. You need to nourish yourself."

Ever since Xiao Qingru was diagnosed with fertility problems last year, she has become a frail person in Xiao's mother's eyes.

As long as there were good things at home, she would want to feed them all into Xiao Qingru's mouth.

I rushed into the kitchen, and soon the air was filled with a sweet smell.

In order to warm up Xiao Qingru's body, ginger slices were added.

"Eat it while it's hot, and then go to sleep."

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, what is this?"

"No one calls himself a pig."

Xiao Qingru: “…”

Although she was full, Xiao Qingru still forced herself to finish the brown sugar egg under her mother's supervision.

Fearing that she would be exhausted, Xiao's mother said, "Don't eat that bowl of porridge. Eating too much is bad for your health."

It is ingrained in our bones that food should not be wasted.

Xiao Qingru had already taken a few bites and said, "I'd better finish it. It's not good to save it for later."

"Mom will help you solve it."

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Didn't I help you and your brother eat the food you couldn't finish?"

“When I was a kid, things were different than now.”

Xiao's mother joked, "What's the difference? You can't just grow up and not recognize your mother, right?"

Xiao Qingru acted coquettishly to her mother, "How could that be possible? If I don't cherish such a good mother, I will be struck by lightning in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about."

Xiao's mother took the bowl and started eating without any complaint.

"Go and have some rest. The bedding is in the closet. Make your own bed."

Back at her parents' home, Xiao Qingru became the one being taken care of, "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

"Don't dilly-dally."

Xiao Qingru really went upstairs.

Lying in the familiar bed, I still couldn't fall asleep.

This feeling of restlessness has never appeared before.

Xiao Qingru didn't know what was wrong with her.

In the end, it all came down to the fact that she missed Xu Muzhou.
