Chapter 72 Mother and Daughter (fourth update) "What did you call me?" "Good boy...
Yao Zhizhi is so happy!
Today is a good day worth remembering!
She will have a few more relatives around her in her daily life!
Look, her biological mother, her biological sister, her nephews and nieces are all here!
Starting today, several more pieces of the big family puzzle have been added!
Only dad and eldest brother’s family of five are left!
I believe that in a few years, we will be able to have a reunion!
The train slowly entered the station with the whistle blowing.
The car door opened and a group of strangers came out one after another. When almost everyone inside had gotten off, I saw my mother and sister coming out.
This is normal. My sister is pregnant and has two children to take care of. My mother is also old. Walking at the end can avoid crowding.
Qi Changxiao and Yao Weihua hurried forward to help carry the luggage.
Yao Weihua exclaimed, looked at his second sister's belly, then at his youngest sister's, and always felt something was wrong.
But there are too many people on the platform right now, so it’s not convenient. Let’s go back and talk about it later.
Yao Zhizhi also noticed that her sister's pregnancy wasn't very noticeable when she came back to get the marriage certificate last time, but this time, her belly seemed to be a lot bigger.
Aren't the sisters' due dates about the same? Yao Zhizhi subconsciously touched her belly and suspected her sister was overeating.
I have to remind my sister that she should control her diet during pregnancy, otherwise the baby will be too big to be delivered.
Yao Zhizhi held Xiao Xingxing's hand and asked him to call them cousin. His crisp baby voice was so nice to hear.
Chaomei still remembered her aunt and rushed over immediately.
She remembered her mother's instructions, stood in front of her aunt, carefully touched her aunt's belly, and asked, "Aunt, is there a little girl in your belly?"
"I don't know, auntie hopes so." Yao Zhizhi leaned over, holding Chaomei's hand, and greeted her mother and sister with a smile.
My mother was carefully supporting my sister, and she fell a few steps behind to share some of the luggage with the two men.
Chaoying was like a little adult, reserved and steady. He walked beside his mother with a small backpack on his back, carefully stretching out his arms to protect her belly. He looked around the platform but didn't see Uncle Yang. What a pity.
He had studied the entire book of herbal remedies for famine relief. Not only could he recognize every word, he could also memorize it.
Forget it, we’ll talk about it when we meet later.
Glancing over, she saw her little brother trying to chase after his uncle, so she quickly held his hand and said, "Xingxing, don't run around. It's dangerous."
Little Xingxing doesn't remember her brother. She looks up at him with her chubby little face. Her eyes fall on her brother's hand that is holding hers, and she wants to let go.
But my brother held it so tightly, so I had no choice but to follow him obediently.
When I turned my head, I found that my other hand was held by my mother, and my mother was holding my sister's other hand, and we were all together!
The whole family left the station together.
"First, go to the dormitory of the radio station to put the luggage, then go to my brother-in-law's house to put down my sister's things, and finally go to the courtyard to eat." Yao Zhizhi had made all the arrangements, not in order of distance. This way, the luggage could be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to carry it with you wherever you go.
Yao Miaomiao felt that this was unnecessary: "Let's go separately. I'll go to your brother-in-law's dormitory to put my things. You two will accompany Mom to the radio station dormitory and then meet in the courtyard."
"Oh, I understand. You want to go see your brother-in-law." Yao Zhizhi guessed her sister's plan. After all, they were a young couple.
Yao Miaomiao did not deny it. It was Yang Shuming's fault that he was too busy to take a leave.
This major corruption case in Yicheng involves too many people, and Yang Shuming has been holding meetings almost every day these days.
She would go check on her residence first. If she needed anything, she could stop by the state-owned shopping mall and buy it later.
Then he smiled and pinched his sister's earlobe: "Who wants to go to see him? It's too late to dislike him."
"You're just saying one thing and thinking another!" Yao Zhizhi was worried about her going alone, so she called out, "Brother, please accompany Second Sister. It's inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. Changxiao and I are taking care of Mom's luggage."
"Is it possible? There are children here." Yao Weihua was worried that his younger sister would be too busy to take care of three little kids.
Yao Zhizhi thought it was okay and still persuaded him to accompany his sister there first.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Qin Yichen arrived.
Without saying a word, she picked up Yao Miaomiao's luggage and said, "Godmother, you guys go back first. I'll come and see my second sister off. I'm on vacation today and I'm free. My eldest brother has warned me that my second sister is pregnant with twins and must be careful."
"What? Twins?" Yao Zhizhi was stunned. "When did you find out? I didn't even know."
"I checked it just before coming here. I called you but you didn't answer." Yao Miaomiao explained with a smile.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly realized: "Maybe he went to a meeting. I want to publish a magazine for students of physiognomy. I have been discussing it for more than half a month, and there are still a few columns that have not been finalized."
"Don't be in a hurry. Do more research before you start. These days, every household doesn't have much spare money. Your magazine must be particularly interesting to attract people to buy it. Slow work produces fine results. Think it through before you start." Yao Miaomiao was afraid that her sister would rush into things too hastily after taking office.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "I know. It's a good thing you're here. You've raised two children before, so you must know more than me. Give me some reference later."
"No problem." Yao Miaomiao agreed with a smile, turned around and followed Qin Yichen away.
Yao Zhizhi looked at her sister's back with a worried look on her face: "Mom, my sister's belly..."
Xie Chunxing also sighed: "The doctor also said that there is a possibility of premature birth, so we have to be vigilant after seven months. Fortunately, her work is not very tiring. She said she will consider taking maternity leave after eight months."
"Eight months is a bit late. Let's hire her at seven months. We can find someone else to take over her job then." Yao Weihua was also worried. She was pregnant with two children at once, so she couldn't be vague.
Yao Zhizhi nodded: "I'll ask my brother-in-law to persuade him later."
"Let's go back first." Yao Weihua carried his luggage and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, an old acquaintance came again.
Lu Henian brought a few brothers over. They were all idle guys from the slum, but none of them had ever been in jail, so Yao Zhizhi recognized them.
All of them had accidents with their parents, and some of them were rehabilitated this time.
She smiled and called out "cousin." Lu Henian nodded and quickly told his brothers to load the luggage onto the bicycles. "Thank goodness Wei Hua told me, otherwise, you were going to carry so much stuff back home?"
"Those who wanted to take the bus, haven't you come yet?" Yao Weihua smiled and quickly put the luggage on.
"Where are the keys? Wei Hua and I will go put the luggage away first and come pick you up later." Lu Henian was quite considerate and even gave two red envelopes to Super League, England and the US.
Yao Weihua asked his two children to call him uncle.
Lu Henian hugged the smaller Chaomei and said, "You're welcome. Auntie, I'll take Wei Hua away first. Please be careful of the passing vehicles."
Xie Chunxing nodded. This boy's father and Lao Yao were cousins, so he had to call Lao Yao his uncle, and it was right to call her aunt.
After the group of young men left like a gust of wind, Xie Chunxing sighed, "What a pity! Such a handsome face."
I'm talking about the scar on Lu Henian's face.
Yao Zhizhi didn't know where that came from, but she guessed her third brother knew.
She handed Xiao Xingxing to Qi Changxiao, and the mother and daughter each held one of their sister's children and walked in front.
Yao Zhizhi looked at her mother and couldn't help but wonder: "Mom, you seem to have lost weight."
"My appetite is poor in the summer, but it gets better when it's over. It's like this every year." Xie Chunxing smiled. "There's an old saying about summer heat and bitter summer."
"Then I'll take you to see Doctor Zhong. It was he who took care of Changxiao's health." Yao Zhizhi hopes her mother can live a long life. Otherwise, how can she make up for the eighteen years of mother-daughter relationship that they have been absent from?
So be sure to check it out.
Xie Chunxing didn't like seeing a doctor and was a little reluctant: "It's okay, I don't feel unwell anywhere, I just don't feel like eating."
"Go ahead, don't make me worry." Yao Zhizhi insisted.
Xie Chunxing was still reluctant. She was most afraid of drinking Chinese medicine. It was so bitter that it made her tongue knotted. She refused: "Why bother? Your sister has two children, and you have your own children. You're both pregnant. It's inconvenient. Don't bother."
"How can seeing a doctor be such a hassle? No, I'll let my third brother accompany you." Yao Zhizhi was unhappy. It was just a visit to the doctor, why was he making so many excuses?
Seeing her daughter's cold expression, Xie Chunxing had no choice but to agree.
Alas, this child is as strong as his father. Miaomiao looks impetuous, but she won't force her.
Forget it, I just arrived, so I’d better not make the child unhappy.
We didn't get along much in the first place, so there will definitely be friction in the future.
Even if it cannot be avoided, at least try to postpone it for a while.
However, Yao Zhizhi could see that she was reluctant and still unhappy.
I really don't understand, it's just a medical consultation.
Looking at Qi Changxiao who looked in great spirits, she felt that her persistence was necessary.
You are already an elderly person, so wouldn’t it be better for you to be more careful?
Qi Changxiao, who was standing by, saw that the mother and daughter were a little awkward, so he quickly said something happy.
As they passed by the inner moat, he pointed to the water beside him and said, "Wife! Look, the lotus flowers over there are so beautiful."
Yao Zhizhi took a look and thought it was okay, but not as beautiful as the one by the Yu Lake.
Qi Changxiao sighed silently. As expected, mothers and daughters are prone to conflicts along the way.
Maybe everyone was deceived by the appearance when visiting relatives. After all, they were only staying for a few days, so they all tried their best to show their best side.
If we really live together...it's hard to say.
However, everything depends on human effort, and such a reunion is hard-won. He believes that his wife can adjust her mood.
So she held the child and followed silently.
When we reached the next stop, Lu Henian arrived with his convoy.
"I'll hold Xiao Xingxing and sit in the back of Caibao. Cousin, you take care of my mom, and Changxiao will take care of my sister by himself. The others will be grouped in twos and share one car." Yao Weihua made arrangements immediately.
Caibao is the nickname of Lu Henian's lackey. His surname is Cai and he is dark and thin, like an old sugarcane.
This guy has a small chicken beak, which makes him very easy to recognize. Because he liked eating buns when he was a child, people called him Caibao.
Cai Bao's father used to work under Lu Henian's father. After Lu Henian's parents got into trouble, Cai Bao's father refused to go along with Director Hu to frame good people, and was also killed.
Cai Bao has a chance to work as a clerk with Lu Henian this time, but he has to wait until his parents' case is overturned.
Everyone had no objection to Yao Weihua's arrangement. It was getting late, so they quickly got in the car and headed towards the alley.
When I passed by the police station, I heard a commotion inside.
Everyone quickly stopped and went in to take a look.
It turned out that Yu Xiulan was here. This stupid thing thought that since Tang Fengyuan became the director, she should be able to use the back door to release Qi Guoping and Qi Changlin.
Shamelessly pestering me.
Tang Fengyuan was a new official and didn't want to cause trouble, so he was so angry that he refused to come out to see her. Now it was Deputy Director Lao Dong and Lao Qiao who were persuading her to go back.
Yao Zhizhi felt sick when she saw this disgusting thing. She walked over, grabbed Yu Xiulan by the collar, and slapped her twice!
Yu Xiulan was stunned by the beating and subconsciously wanted to fight back, but when she saw that it was Yao Zhizhi who did it, she could only cover her face and shrink her neck and cry like a quail.
Yao Zhizhi was furious and pointed at her nose and cursed, "My mom got her position as director by fighting criminals with her life! She's a police officer, and her duty is to rid the people of harm! You actually want her to use her position to release pests, what are you thinking! Get out of here right now! Don't blame me for throwing shit at your door! Shameless, filthy thing!"
Yu Xiulan was so ashamed after being scolded that she wanted to say something, but she saw a woman in her fifties coming over, holding Yao Zhizhi's arm and persuading her not to be angry.
The woman's clothes made her look like an official's wife. After all, the material was much better than what she was wearing.
I couldn't help but take a second look.
Seeing that she was still not leaving, Yao Zhizhi turned around and picked up a branch on the ground and was about to attack again. Yao Weihua was so scared that he quickly drove Yu Xiulan out.
After chasing the people away, they came in together and advised Yao Zhizhi: "Little sister, don't disturb the fetus."
"I'm fine, I just can't stand this old guy. He's stupid and bad, so disgusting." Yao Zhizhi threw away the branch and walked home without getting in the car.
Caibao and others all gave thumbs up and praised the young wife for being powerful and domineering.
Xie Chunxing was the only one sighing. She hadn't expected her little daughter to be so irritable and even want to throw manure at someone.
This won't do. Beating and scolding people is one thing, but throwing manure at people is just like those scoundrels in the countryside.
If you offend someone at work or in life, it will be easy for people to use it to make a fuss about it.
After thinking about it, he pulled Yao Weihua over and tried to persuade him: "Weihua, you have to talk to your sister. This is not good. She works in a publishing house now. At least she is a small leader. She should do less of this kind of thing. Otherwise, people will poke her in the back in the future."
Yao Weihua didn't think so. She smiled and said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. My little sister isn't like this usually. She always adapts to the situation. If the other person is reasonable, she will be reasonable. If the other person is a mean person, she will use dirty tricks. Today, Yu Xiulan, you can't convince her with reason. It's better to throw manure at her."
Xie Chunxing was speechless. She didn't expect that the third brother was so confused.
They are a respectable family, and they would never do something like throwing manure at others. I think we should correct the children's wrong ideas.
Yao Zhizhi accidentally heard it, turned around suddenly, and looked at her mother with a frown.
Yao Zhizhi was a little sad: "Do you dislike me for being uncivilized?"
"No, no, Mom is afraid that people will frame you in the future." Xie Chunxing quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhizhi, you're still young and don't understand how to be afraid of what others say."
"So am I just going to watch her harm my mother-in-law?" Yao Zhizhi didn't understand. No matter what method she used, wouldn't it be enough to just drive her away?
Xie Chunxing was helpless. She always felt that the mother and daughter were not on the same wavelength. Her daughter was still pregnant, and she didn't want to hurt her daughter's health. She quickly compromised: "It's my fault. Don't be angry. I'm really just worried about what others are saying about you."
Yao Zhizhi was silent.
It was a bit sad. Even though her mother really had no ill intentions, she still felt uncomfortable when her mother said that.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It’s a rare reunion. She sighed and walked home.
Qi Changxiao lagged behind by a few steps and asked Yao Weihua to hurry up and comfort her, while he himself walked slowly and tried to persuade his mother-in-law.
After carefully considering the wording, he tactfully suggested, "Mom, if you think Zhizhi has done something wrong in the future, you can talk about it in private. Zhizhi is very strong-willed. Now that there are so many people around, she will feel that you look down on her."
"Mom didn't think it through enough." Xie Chunxing felt that what her son-in-law said made sense, so she would talk about it in private later.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Yao Zhizhi had adjusted her mood and happily called out "Dad".
Ning Zhengrong switched shifts with Lao Xu today and stayed at home to prepare lunch and entertain his in-laws.
Hearing the noise, I hurried out to take a look.
"The in-laws are here! And Xiao Lu is here too! Come on, come on, come sit at home." Ning Zhengrong wiped his hands on his apron, took out the Longjing tea he had prepared and handed it to Yao Weihua. "The water is freshly boiled, and the cups are scalded too. You soak it for a while, I'll go cook."
"Okay, thanks, Uncle Ning. I'll come and help you later." Yao Weihua quickly took the tea and greeted Lu Henian and his brothers.
Yao Zhizhi felt a little tired, so she went into the house and lay down.
Xie Chunxing hesitated for a long time, but still followed him in, closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and tried to resolve the conflict between mother and daughter.
"Zhizhi, I wasn't paying attention to the situation just now, so don't take it personally. I was worried that you'd suddenly have a good job, and who knows how many people would be watching you. If someone deliberately finds fault with you, you'll easily be put in a passive position. I also know that you grew up in the countryside, so I can't hold you to the standards of a city dweller. But you'll soon be a mother of two children, so you should try to behave more politely so that you can set a good example for your children, right?"
Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything, turned her back to her mother, and was still unhappy.
Do you really want to criticize her for not picking another time? Why did she have to do it today?
She suddenly became curious: "Have you ever seen my sister put her hands on her hips and kick someone?"
"No, when did your sister become like this? How come I didn't know?" Xie Chunxing was confused.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly smiled. It seemed that her sister had disguised her true nature in front of her parents.
Maybe it was the result of being criticized by my parents.
But she was still a little depressed. After all, she was used to being arbitrary in the end times and could not accept being criticized.
In fact, she felt that she was not wrong. Some people just have to play tough.
She suddenly became curious: "When Yao Jingjing stepped on the boat, did you criticize her?"
Xie Chunxing was stunned by the question.
I tried hard to recall, and it seemed... I seemed to have said a few words, but it couldn't be called criticism.
Later, Wei Guo was asked to find a way to deal with Yao Jingjing's aftermath.
She suddenly shuddered, and she knew why her daughter was angry.
Everyone knows that she dotes on Yao Jingjing, but now she is finding fault with her own daughter. Even if she is doing it in the name of doing good for her daughter, it still sounds irritating.
She couldn't help but fall into deep self-blame, her eyes red as she tried to make amends: "Son, it's my fault. Maybe you acted too sensible in the Northeast, and I thought you were supposed to be like that. I was confused. I haven't raised you for a single day, so why should I say you're bad in this or that? It's all my fault. Don't be angry, I'll correct it, okay?"
Listening to the old man sobbing, Yao Zhizhi sat up.
She didn't say anything, why was she crying?
Then he handed over a handkerchief and said, "I don't like you doing this. If someone doesn't know, they would think I've offended you."
"Mom feels sad." Xie Chunxing still couldn't stop crying. She felt really guilty when she thought about it. Why couldn't she spoil her own daughter?
My daughter has suffered so much injustice outside. Even if she was really thrown with manure, it was caused by her growing environment and it was not her fault.
She is really a piece of shit.
My daughter doesn't steal or rob. She has earned a decent job through her own abilities. Why should she spoil the fun?
She couldn't help crying and hugged Yao Zhizhi: "My dear, please don't be angry, okay? It was all because of Mom's confusion. Mom won't be like this again in the future."
"What did you call me?" Yao Zhizhi was suddenly stunned. No one had ever called her like that before.
"My dear, my dear little darling." Xie Chunxing burst into tears.
Yao Zhizhi smiled, waited patiently for her to finish crying, and made three rules: "Don't let me see you crying in the future."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Xie Chunxing listened to the advice. She was old and some of her bad habits could not be changed, but she wanted to make it up to her daughter and would try her best.
She took Yao Zhizhi's hand and asked again, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
What else could Yao Zhizhi do? Just agree. Even a mother would lower herself so low.
But she still wanted to clarify: "I said I threw manure, I was just trying to scare her. I actually hate the smell of manure. I was mainly angry that you misunderstood me. I'm not that stupid."
"I know. Mom will pay attention next time." Xie Chunxing looked at her daughter eagerly, hoping for her forgiveness.
Yao Zhizhi picked up a comb and gave it to her: "Brace two beautiful braids for my hair and I'll forgive you."
Xie Chunxing was very good at this and quickly got busy.
Her movements were gentle and her technique was skillful. She also did a scalp massage. Yao Zhizhi felt extremely comfortable and refused to let her stop: "Do it again."
Xie Chunxing smiled and continued to massage her: "Is it comfortable? Your father likes it this way, you really are like him!"
"Of course, I'm your biological child!" Yao Zhizhi was very proud.
When Tang Fengyuan came home from get off work, he learned that the mother and daughter had been unhappy because of Yu Xiulan, so he pushed the door open to try to persuade them.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw that the mother and daughter had reconciled.
Look, a kiss is a kiss, and it will be fine.
