Father-in-law apologizes and prepares a surprise
Her father-in-law Huo Jiafeng came to see her earlier than Shi Mingzhu expected.
Two days later in the morning, Shi Mingzhu heard her mother-in-law say that her father-in-law had come to the house to look for her.
I came to apologize to her.
"Mingzhu, do you want to meet Chengfeng's father?" Yu Meizhen looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, "He is outside the door. He came to apologize to you sincerely this time. Chengyu didn't come. He said that if you agree to see him, he will go into the house. If you don't agree, he will come tomorrow."
Shi Mingzhu looked at Huo Chengfeng, and he looked back at her without saying anything, waiting for her to make her own decision.
"Huo Chengyu is willing to stay in the hotel by herself?" Shi Mingzhu was curious about where Huo Chengyu was going.
Yu Meizhen: "She has to agree even if she doesn't want to. If she doesn't want to, I won't give her living expenses. When she goes back, I'll let her find a job. Then she won't have time to bother you."
Shi Mingzhu said "Oh" and thought, I hope so.
She then said, "I thought about it," she paused and looked in the direction of Huo Chengfeng. He must not have noticed that he was very nervous.
Even Yu Meizhen breathed softly, waiting nervously for her next words.
"Just let Dad in."
Yu Meizhen's face was completely relieved. "Okay, thank you Mingzhu. He will definitely not say anything nonsense."
Huo Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he found that Shi Mingzhu was looking at him. He smiled at her ingratiatingly, and Shi Mingzhu gave him a cold smile in return, and Huo Chengfeng immediately retracted the smile on his face.
Shi Mingzhu knew that this man definitely wanted her to meet his father.
She started to make arrangements, "Huo Chengfeng, clean up the room."
Huo Chengfeng stood up immediately, not daring to be unhappy, "Okay."
Yu Meizhen also helped to clean up. When they were done, both mother and son looked at Shi Mingzhu, who was changing Yangyang's clothes.
She knew that the two were standing behind her, waiting for her to speak.
After she had changed, she said to Huo Chengfeng, "Go and call your dad in."
Yu Meizhen looked relieved and patted her son's arm, "Mom will go."
Huo Chengfeng walked to the bedside consciously, picked up Yangyang's changed clothes and put them aside, and Shi Mingzhu asked him to hold Yangyang again.
He wanted to say something, but at this time his mother came in with his father.
"Mingzhu, I'm here to apologize to you." As soon as Huo Jiafeng entered the room, he spoke frankly without any hesitation.
Shi Mingzhu nodded and motioned him to say, "Okay, go ahead."
Huo Jiafeng was stunned for a moment, because Shi Mingzhu's attitude at the moment made him realize that he and his daughter-in-law were negotiating at this moment.
Negotiations will have successes and failures. He sighed in his heart and said seriously.
"After I found out that Yangyang had your last name, I scolded Huo Chengfeng for being spineless and even said that the grandson of the Huo family could not have a last name. Later, after I knew your attitude, I didn't come to see you again until you were discharged from the hospital. This is my fault."
"I have thought a lot these past two days. I am narrow-minded, which is my first mistake. I acted like an elder after knowing your attitude, which is my second mistake. I was stubborn and secretly sent things to your door, which is my third mistake. I did not respect your efforts and did not love Chongyangyang, which is my fourth mistake.
Chengfeng is right. A family should work together. A family does not stop being a family just because they have different surnames. Anyway, it's my fault. I'm getting old and confused. ”
Shi Mingzhu looked at her father-in-law. In her previous life, she and Huo Jiafeng did not spend much time together, let alone communicate much. This was the first time she heard such heartfelt and sincere words from him.
"I have thought a lot these past two days. I am sincere in my apology. I hope you can forgive my mistake. I hope that my family is doing well. Of course, I am not trying to be sentimental with you. This is a true feeling."
"As long as Chengfeng, you, and Yangyang are all well, that's all that matters."
"I have to thank you for giving us this opportunity to correct our mistakes. Don't worry, I won't have any opinions about you and the child. I will definitely not fail in my duties as a grandfather."
Shi Mingzhu listened carefully and observed Huo Jiafeng's expression, but she did not find any reluctance in Huo Jiafeng's words.
"Okay, I believe Dad."
"I hope you won't interfere in the matter between me and Huo Chengyu in the future."
Huo Jiafeng waved his hand, his children were all debts, Huo Jiafeng knew that he should not interfere, forcing something to grow is not something to be proud of.
"I don't care. When it comes time for me to judge, I will help whoever is right."
Huo Jiafeng has more important things to do now. Shi Mingzhu's words "I believe" were like an acknowledgement of him, which made him feel less tense. He felt that he had accomplished something big, and his face looked much more relaxed.
He walked to Huo Chengfeng and stretched out his hand to his son, "Let me hug Yangyang."
Huo Chengfeng glanced at Shi Mingzhu and handed the child to him.
Huo Jiafeng was satisfied. He took out the gold lock and put it in his grandson's hand. "This is my gift."
Having solved a major problem, held his grandson in his arms, and given the golden lock away, Huo Jiafeng did not stay long. He put the child back in his son's hands and left the room.
Huo Chengfeng was stunned for a moment and watched his father leave.
Wait until only the couple and the child are left in the room. Huo Chengfeng walked over to Shi Mingzhu and gave her the thing his father had just stuffed into his hand.
"My father gave it to me. He also gave Yangyang a gold lock."
Huo Chengfeng held a gold bracelet in his hand. Looking at the silent Shi Mingzhu, Huo Chengfeng explained, "My dad didn't take out the bracelet the past two days, but he took it out today. I think it's to apologize to you."
Shi Mingzhu said lightly, took the gold bracelet in her hand, and looked at him lightly, "You don't seem to have bought me such an expensive gift, right?"
Right? Right?
right……
When their eyes met, Huo Chengfeng broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, Yangyang in his arms suddenly howled. Huo Chengfeng looked down at his son. When Yangyang saw someone noticed him, he immediately started to cry.
Shi Mingzhu reached out to him to hold her son, and Huo Chengfeng quickly put the child in her hands and promised.
"I... will make up for it, as soon as possible!"
Shi Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait, go out, I have to feed the baby."
Huo Chengfeng let out a depressed sound, feeling sad in his heart. He realized his dereliction of duty.
Whether in the conflict between his parents, sister and Shi Mingzhu, or in their small family, he was negligent. In some aspects, he was even worse than his father.
He was away from home all year round, and she was like a widow, waiting for him at home. After marrying him, she was trapped here. Now that they had a child, he no longer cared about her...
Huo Chengfeng now understood why Shi Mingzhu insisted that he retire. Days that seem to have no end in sight are hell, not happiness.
The more I thought about it, the more suffocated I felt.
Shi Mingzhu was feeding Yangyang when she suddenly heard a "pop". She was startled and the child in her arms moved in fright. The baby stopped drinking milk and started to cry.
"What's wrong with you?" Shi Mingzhu comforted her son and looked at Huo Chengfeng in confusion.
His hands were still raised, and Shi Mingzhu understood immediately, "Slap yourself, what's going on?"
Huo Chengfeng glanced at Shi Mingzhu, shook his head, and left the room without saying a word.
"Don't be afraid, Yangyang. Your father is just confused." Shi Mingzhu patted her son on the back.
…
Huo Chengfeng went out for a while.
He was thinking about buying gold jewelry for Shi Mingzhu. But Xitai Town is so small, and most of the shops in the town sell daily necessities, so he had to settle for the next best thing and wanted to buy another dress.
This time he goes out, he must bring something back.
However, there were no skirts for sale in the store, and the tops and pants were mostly old-fashioned. Huo Chengfeng himself didn't like them, let alone Shi Mingzhu. If they wanted new styles, they could only buy the fabric and make them themselves.
Huo Chengfeng walked around the store in embarrassment, and finally he had to return empty-handed. It seemed that he had to go to the county town again.
After returning home from the store, Huo Chengfeng was assigned by Yu Meizhen to kill a chicken.
"Mingzhu just said that she wanted your dad to have dinner at home. The chicken your dad brought back two days ago is just right for us to kill and eat, so that Mingzhu can have a snack."
Huo Chengfeng looked around the house and didn't see his father. "Where's my dad?"
"Your dad went out to buy groceries. Even if he left half of the chicken for us to eat, it would not be enough for three people."
Huo Chengfeng nodded.
Huo Jiafeng quickly came back from buying groceries and cooked a big meal himself.
After dinner, he told Shi Mingzhu that he wanted to leave, "I will go back tomorrow, and I will come back when the baby is one month old."
The Huo family settled in Liangchun City, more than 300 kilometers away from Xitai Town. Huo Jiafeng originally came to Yanmen County by train, so this time he had to take a bus from the town to Yanmen County, and then take the train back to Liangchun City.
"I'm going to send my dad to the county tomorrow, and I'll buy some things on the way." At night, Huo Chengfeng told Shi Mingzhu about his plan.
"What?"
"I'll buy you some gold jewelry." Huo Chengfeng scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Do you also want a skirt? Or something else? I'll buy them all for you."
"Are you planning on giving me a gift so soon? Why did you just tell me and not leave it as a surprise for me?"
"I'm afraid I'll buy something you don't like, so that wouldn't be a surprise, right?" Huo Chengfeng said.
"That's right," Shi Mingzhu laughed.
"I don't care how many skirts you buy. I want the pretty ones anyway. I also want to buy some body lotion. My skin has been rough lately. Also, go to the hospital and ask how to remove the scars. The wounds are in the recovery period now and have become very ugly."
"Body lotion?" Huo Chengfeng didn't quite understand.
"The one for your face is called a facial lotion, and body lotion is for your entire body."
Huo Chengfeng nodded in agreement.
"I have prepared a surprise for you tomorrow." Huo Chengfeng thought about it and finally spoke, but only said half of it to keep her looking forward to it.
He actually wanted to tell her right now, but he wanted to wait until he bought everything tomorrow before telling her.
When he gives her jewelry tomorrow, she will definitely be happy, and telling her the surprise will make her even happier. He knew she would like the surprise he had prepared, but he was still looking forward to her reaction when she found out.
"Then I'll wait."
