Chapter 227
Bai Xiuxiu had no choice but to let her mother watch. Afraid that her mother would worry, she had to explain: "Mom, I'm fine. What Director Wang and I did today was considered minor. Besides, it's not like this every time. This was an unexpected situation.
Don't worry, I know how to protect myself."
While she was talking, not only Mrs. Wei was watching, but Wang Qinghe was also watching.
After they were both sure that she was fine, they went about their own business with peace of mind.
The wontons that Mrs. Wei made in the evening, served with sesame oil, were so delicious that they were about to fly out.
After the family had dinner, Wang Qinghe prepared to go out.
Mrs. Wei was shocked to see him going out at this time: "What time is it? Why are you going out?"
"Mom, I'm going back to Xiahe Village. I'm learning Chinese medicine from an old Chinese medicine practitioner there. Today is the appointment time, so I have to hurry over." Today is the day Wang Qinghe is going to see Uncle Zhang, and he dare not miss the time.
"What? Study Chinese medicine? Why do you suddenly want to study this?" Mrs. Wei was stunned. Is her son-in-law too ambitious?
"Go and do your work. Mom and I will explain it." Bai Xiu Xiu motioned for him to hurry up.
"Well, then, daughter-in-law, please talk to mom for me. I'm leaving first. By the way, I have put the canned food that I helped to make in the factory today in the house. The child and mom will get half, and you can get the other half." After saying that, Wang Qinghe rode away on his bike.
Mrs. Wei looked at her daughter and said, "You have to share half with your child? You are so old, and you still like to eat canned food so much."
Bai Xiu Xiu smiled at her and didn't refute her.
"You're still silent. How can your mother scold you?" Mrs. Wei laughed angrily.
Sitting next to her, I said to her in a heartfelt way: "My son-in-law treats you so well. I am very happy. I am old now and have seen many men. No matter how good a man is to his wife, most men still care more about their children.
Thinking that my wife is an adult after all, I should always put the child first.
It's good to have a son-in-law like this.
Although you are an adult, aren’t adults also human beings?
Eat what you need to eat, just like Mom taught you."
When Mrs. Wei looked at her daughter, there was only concern in her eyes.
She only has these two children in her life, so since they were young, she has taught them to be true to themselves.
Let them live for themselves.
Although there was a shortage of supplies in those years, she never thought of mistreating her children. She also kept thinking about Xiuxiu even after she got married.
The same goes for her eldest daughter. Both of them were taught by her, and they know how to love themselves.
Bai Xiuxiu felt a lump in her throat when she heard this. She thought her mother was going to scold her.
After all, mom hasn’t been here for several years.
It turns out that nothing will change.
"Look at you? You want to cry again? After just a few years, you've become a little crybaby? Tell mom quickly why your son-in-law is studying Chinese medicine." Mrs. Wei was very curious.
Bai Xiuxiu found the reason that Wang Qinghe had openly told everyone: "He said he wanted to improve himself and learn another skill in the future. It would be great if he could go to a village and be a barefoot doctor. If he could learn well and read more books, and go to the place that Uncle Zhang mentioned to study Chinese medicine, that would be even better.
Ultimately it's to make life a little better for me and my kids.
He has been learning it for a while and is doing quite well.”
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Wei felt more relieved: "He is a good child. Mom wanted to tell you before that your son-in-law is good in everything. He is good-looking, has a good temper, works well, is strong, and is a promising person.
It’s a pity that I didn’t read enough books.
Isn't it? He is really an ambitious person.
That's good. From now on you can live with him without suffering any loss.
Even though it may not seem like a big deal now, Mom has come through so many years, and life can't always be like this.
You will be blessed in the future.
Your sister is also blessed.
Mom and her two children are both blessed children. "
Mrs. Wei laughed as she spoke.
Bai Xiu Xiu felt particularly warm in her heart after hearing this.
When Wang Qinghe came back, it was almost midnight.
He entered the room quietly, afraid to wake up the two children and mother-in-law.
After returning to her room, Bai Xiuxiu turned on the flashlight and asked, "Why did you come back at this time? The roads in the village are not easy to walk on. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I went back to the village today, and heard from Uncle Zhang that the Wang family didn't come back to the village today. They said it was because of the fifth brother and his wife buying a house." Wang Qinghe spoke about the Wang family's affairs without any emotion in his tone.
He was not interested in the people in Lao Wang's family no matter what.
Especially since he knew the news yesterday.
"It will be fine as long as they don't come to disturb us. Come up and have a rest." Bai Xiu Xiu urged him to come up.
"Wait a minute, let me warm myself up before coming up, otherwise you'll be afraid of the cold..."
The two of them were whispering to each other. Wang Qinghe was warming himself while talking to his wife about what he had learned today.
"Uncle Zhang said that he was very satisfied with the medicine I made this time. Now I have started to learn how to prepare other medicines." Wang Qinghe feels that the days are becoming more and more promising.
The two talked for a long time before Wang Qinghe got into bed.
Early the next morning.
When Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe woke up, breakfast was already ready.
Mrs. Wei was even more satisfied with her son-in-law because of her chat with her daughter yesterday.
That look made Wang Qinghe a little confused. What good thing had he done?
"Have lunch now and go to work. Your lunch boxes are ready. Tell me what you want to eat the next day and I will prepare it in the morning. I haven't slept much in the past two years and I get up early.
It’s just idleness in the early morning.”
As Mrs. Wei spoke, she brought the lunch box over.
"Mom, don't bother yourself. Just do whatever is easy. If you have nothing to do, take a break. Why do you have to work all the time?"
Bai Xiuxiu felt a little sorry for the old lady.
Mrs. Wei doesn't think so.
While the two were talking, Director Wang came outside.
Seeing Director Wang, Mrs. Wei's smile became even brighter: "Is this the director of Xiuxiu's neighborhood office? Hey, Director, why are you here so early?"
"Sister Wei, I'm here to look for Xiuxiu. We have a meeting today and we can bring one person with us. I wanted to take Xiuxiu with me so she can see the world. She will have many opportunities to go out with me in the future, so don't let her look back without knowing anything."
Director Wang greeted Mrs. Wei and saw that Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu were having dinner.
He also smiled and asked Bai Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, have you eaten?"
"I'm done eating, shall we go now?" At this moment, Bai Xiu Xiu really felt that Director Wang was her benefactor, who came to give her a pillow just when she felt sleepy. She was worrying about how to meet the He family!
