Chapter 362: Don't go too far
In the ward, Bai Shuyu touched her hair with both hands, picked up the mirror on the bedside table, looked at it again, and saw two white hairs sticking out. She quickly pinned them with a hairpin, but she was still worried.
"Niannian, don't dress yourself up. Look at mom. Is there anything wrong? How is her complexion? Will your brother think mom is ugly when he sees me like this?"
"No, no, mom, you look very good now, and you are in great spirits. My brother Zhenping must be happy to see you. Hey, mom, I think you'd better not dress up, just like before. My brother Zhenping must be very distressed to see you haggard. Then you can stay in Beijing for a few more days."
"Hey, I really want Zhenping to stay with me in Beijing, but he said that the kids have to take exams, and Kaikai is so young, what will happen if there is no one to take care of him at home?"
Yuan Niannian paused and said, "In fact, we should have let Brother Zhenping come alone, so that we can talk as a family. Comrade Shen Meng came with us, but we are not familiar with each other and we don't know what to say for a while."
Bai Shuyu shook her head and said, "You can't say that, Nian Nian Nian, Shen Meng is your sister-in-law and my daughter-in-law. I have always wanted to meet her for so many years. I heard that she is a very capable woman. Ning County has undergone such great changes, and it is all due to her. She is worthy of my son. It's a pity that I couldn't meet Kaikai. He is nine and a half years old, and I have only seen his photos. I wish I could hug my grandson someday."
Yuan Niannian forced a smile and turned her head away, a hint of impatience in her eyes.
"Knock
, knock, knock" "Here he comes, Nian Nian, your brother is here."
Bai Shuyu quickly put down the mirror and leaned on the pillow, staring at the door of the ward. Yuan Niannian also pursed her lips to make the lipstick that was not evenly applied just now more even. While tucking the quilt for Bai Shuyu, she glanced at the mirror. Very good, very beautiful.
"Aunt, Zhenping and his sister-in-law are here to see you. Are we coming in?"
"Ahem, come in!"
After getting the answer, Bai Yan took Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng into the ward. He saw Yuan Niannian also standing beside the bed, and then nodded to her. At this time, he didn't dare to say too much. After all, his aunt had missed Lu Zhenping for a long time. Now was their time as mother and son.
Shen Meng was very curious about Bai Shuyu. In her heart, this woman was an extreme saint. She had set her sights on Bai Shuyu since she entered the ward.
She was lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, her hair was combed neatly, and she was smiling quietly.
Lu Zhenping's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to hers. Although she had traces of time, it was also obvious that she was a beautiful beauty when she was young.
Think about Bai Yueguang, who was missed by so many people and the woman whose name Lu Changzhu had called out in his dreams for so many years. She really had a perfect face.
"Zhenping is here. This is Shen Meng, right? She's so pretty. Are you tired from the journey? Hey, I asked Yanyan not to pick you up so early. It's such a long journey, you should sleep a little longer."
"It's no problem. We are used to getting up early. This is a gift from husband and wife. Please accept it!"
Shen Meng: "......."
What kind of words are they talking about? How can you visit an elder and ask them to accept gifts with joy!!!
Bai Shuyu was not surprised. When she saw the things Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng brought, she said "good" one by one and waved her hand for them to sit down.
"How are you? What did the doctor say?"
"It's an old illness. He said I need to rest. When I feel better, I can have an operation. Today, when I saw you, I felt like I'm better. Hehehe!"
Bai Shuyu kept looking at Lu Zhenping as if she couldn't see him enough. When he was in the army, she could often go to see him. Later, when she knew he didn't want to see her, she asked her brother to see him from a distance. At least she could see him once, which made her feel better.
But in the past two years, she missed Lu Zhenping every time. She looked at his photos and thought about him day and night. Gradually, her body also collapsed.
"Oh, by the way, Nian Nian, take out the gifts and red envelopes that I put in the drawer and give them to your sister-in-law, Xiao Meng. This is the first time your mother met you, and I wanted to give you a gift in person, but I didn't have the chance. Now that I finally meet you, you must accept it."
"You are too polite. Zhenping and I have been married for so many years. There is no need to be so polite."
"It's my duty, it's my duty. I am always...always his mother, and it's my turn to give it to her."
When she said this, her eyes were cautious. Seeing that Lu Zhenping had no objection, she turned her attention back to Shen Meng.
When she heard that Lu Zhenping had married a country girl, she was dissatisfied. In her opinion, Lu Zhenping was so outstanding that he deserved the best girl. Yuan Niannian was the child of her brother's comrade-in-arms, and she adopted her under her own name. For so many years, she had been cultivating her with all her heart, watching her grow up, and was very satisfied with her.
In her heart, she hoped that Lu Zhenping could be with Yuan Niannian, so that Lu Zhenping could transfer his household registration to Shangjing in the future, and he would become her son-in-law. Then her son and daughter would be by her side, what a good thing!
Unfortunately, Zhenping disagreed, and she was very sad.
Yuan Niannian is almost thirty, but still doesn't want to get married. She knows in her heart that she is pretending for Zhenping. It's her fault, after just letting the two meet once, who knew that Niannian has not forgotten him for so many years and has been waiting for her wholeheartedly.
If she could still support him before, but when she saw Shen Meng today, she knew that these two people were her sons clinging to others, and Yuan Niannian and Lu Zhenping are not destined to be together in this life.
"Brother Zhenping, Comrade Shen, this is the gift and red envelope that mom prepared for Comrade Shen, Comrade Shen must accept it!"
"Thank you."
Shen Meng chuckled and took it. This guy is really funny, and he is still Comrade Shen. What's the matter, can calling "sister-in-law" make her voice louder?
"Niannian, this is your sister-in-law. You are too polite to call her Comrade Shen. Aunt, Zhenping, and my sister-in-law must have a lot to say. Let's go out first. I haven't eaten yet. You can go out with me to eat some wontons!"
"Brother Yan, you go by yourself. Mom can't be alone. I have to take care of many things myself. Brother Zhenping and Comrade Shen may not be able to take care of her. Besides, I don't feel comfortable leaving Mom to outsiders. We are all family. There is nothing I can't listen to."
She said with a smile, but Bai Yan's face darkened.
Without saying a word, he walked directly to Yuan Niannian, took her arm and walked out.
"Aunt, Zhenping and my sister-in-law, you guys chat slowly, we will be back soon."
"Brother Yan, let me go, let me go, I..."
"Shut up, don't think I don't know what you did in private. For the sake of my aunt, I advise you not to go too far."
Yuan Niannian's face turned pale. She had been spoiled for so many years, and she had never seen Bai Yan treat her like this. What did he know?
