Everyone who comes is a guest. Tian Xiaohui hurriedly invited Zheng's mother into the garment factory, moved a stool for her to sit on, and was busy pouring water to entertain her.
However, Zheng's mother didn't dare to let her do any work.
Just when Tian Xiaohui turned around to pour water, Zheng's mother searched the room, found the recliner, her eyes lit up, and she walked forward, picked up the recliner, and walked out with difficulty.
The lounge chair is relatively large and made of bamboo.
It is easy for an adult man like Zheng Song to lift a recliner, but it is not easy for a woman in her fifties who has suffered a serious illness.
The recliner accidentally hit the door frame, and the noise startled Tian Xiaohui who was pouring water.
When Tian Xiaohui turned her head, she saw Zheng's mother struggling to half-cover the recliner and walking out. She was so scared that she quickly put down the kettle in her hand and ran over.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
The recliner was very heavy, so she quickly helped Mother Zheng hold it. Seeing her walk out, she thought Mother Zheng was going out to bask in the sun, so she hurriedly said, "If you want to go out to bask in the sun, tell me and I'll help you carry it out!"
"No, no, this is for you."
Zheng's mother didn't let Tian Xiaohui do it. She pulled Tian Xiaohui's hands away and moved the recliner out by herself.
Afterwards, she tidied her messy hair and tucked it behind her ears meticulously. She smiled at Tian Xiaohui with a sense of relief: "I heard from Chang Song that you can get some sun in the morning. The chair is in your room. He didn't come today because of something at the office, so I'll move it for you."
ah?
Tian Xiaohui was confused.
Is this for her?
"Chang...Changsong?"
"Oh, his name is Changsong." Seeing that she was puzzled, Zheng's mother explained in a gentle voice: "His father gave him this name, but it's only two characters on the household registration, which sounds capable."
"oh……"
But Tian Xiaohui was a little flattered by her behavior. Looking at Zheng's mother's smiling face, she pulled the corners of her mouth and asked carefully: "Aunt, why are you so nice to me? Do you have any request for me?"
Mother Zheng smiled.
"You kid..."
She walked over, held Tian Xiaohui's helpless hand, and looked at her with loving eyes.
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.
"Miss Xiaohui, you are a good girl. I believe in my son's vision and my intuition."
The woman's hands were very warm.
Tian Xiaohui was at a loss, with her hand held by her, not knowing what to do.
Mother Zheng saw her helplessness, shook her head, and sighed: "Xiaohui, don't be afraid, listen to your aunt and tell you slowly..."
Last night, the mother and son had a heart-to-heart talk.
Ever since Zheng Song's wife, who had not yet married him, was killed in revenge by gangsters a few years ago, their family has been struck by a frost. She could not bear the blow and fell seriously ill, and Zheng Song also became addicted.
Both of them looked alive.
In fact, there is no hope anymore.
At least Zheng's mother could still rely on her old age and lie on the bed complaining about the cruelty of God, but her son could only continue to stand, with his back straight as if nothing had happened, and continue to do his duty as a hero day after day.
But he is the one who suffers the most.
Behind all the dedication, the heart is already dead.
Every day I get up, eat something casually, go to work, and work hard. At night I go home exhausted, just put something casually into my mouth, and then go to sleep.
I don’t know how long this kind of day lasted.
So long that she forgot the time.
It's like an ignorant animal, repeating the same thing day after day, eating, sleeping, and waiting for the death of the body.
One day an accident may happen and your wish will come true.
But her son suddenly changed in the past few days.
The biggest change was that food was always lost at home. Later, she discovered that her son got up very early these days, and after washing up, he would grab some food at home, such as peanuts and candies, and put them in his pocket before leaving.
Sometimes her son didn't even have time to eat, and she couldn't stop him even if she called him.
I get home late at night.
In the past, her son would come home late when he was busy with work. The difference was that this time, she saw a smile on her son's face and he seemed to be more motivated, as if he had found hope to continue living.
Last night she finally couldn't help it.
She took her son aside and asked him about his changes in the past few days.
The child hesitated and was a little embarrassed to speak, but she was his mother and could tell something was wrong at a glance.
After much asking, I finally got to the truth.
This made her very happy.
I don’t know how long it has been since I had this feeling. This home has been immersed in darkness and dampness all year round, and even the sun is reluctant to shine into the house. But at this moment, she seemed to have seen the goal of survival and had hope.
Her son also seemed to open up.
He must have liked the girl outside very much, so he pulled her aside and told her about his acquaintance with the little girl. He praised the little girl for her courage and strength, and for not being afraid of the criminals and being able to fight back.
Said she was tall and gave a sense of security.
He also said that she had a good personality, was lively and active, had great strength, was good at fighting and making noises, and that it would be very interesting to marry her home.
The more she listened, the more she liked it.
Then her son said to her:
She has a partner.
Well, she was suddenly struck by lightning. In her head, she was almost going to have a grandson, so how come he suddenly had a partner?
The next thing her son said was: "Divided."
Well, give her a scare.
Oh my God, her lifeless son is now playing tricks on her.
She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Afterwards, her son told her about their time together, saying that the girl had been injured some time ago and was recovering, so he had been leaving home early and coming back late during this period. He would go to the garment factory every day to arrange for the girl to be taken care of before going to work.
He likes the girl, but the girl doesn't like him, so he is thinking of ways to pursue her.
The most important thing is that the girl has an ex-boyfriend who is many times better than him. If he doesn't hurry up, he might lose his wife.
How could she sit still now?
It might not be enough relying on her own son alone, she has to come out to help, otherwise what will she do if her wife runs away?
So she suggested to come and see Tian Xiaohui.
Hearing that she wanted to see Tian Xiaohui, her son felt a little embarrassed again. He scratched the back of his head and said with a red face: "In this case, I won't go there tomorrow morning. You go."
Look, she is too embarrassed to go with her as a mother to meet her daughter-in-law.
To be honest, Zheng's mother was also nervous.
After she got sick, her body and spirit were not very good. She was afraid that the girl would dislike her. As a result, her son said, "Mom, don't worry, she is not that kind of person. She is a good girl."
She felt relieved with these words.
But she still changed into the cleanest clothes at home, took some money, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, picked out some rare snacks that young people liked to eat, and stuffed the basket full before she dared to come...
