the next day.
When Ji Qingzhou woke up, he found that there was no one in the bed.
She touched the quilt next to her and found it was completely cold.
I think Xie Yanbei has been up for a long time.
Xie Yanbei never had the habit of staying in bed. No matter how late he slept, he would always get up before six in the morning.
Ji Qingzhou quickly got up and folded the quilt. There were no toiletries for her here.
She glanced at the light-colored mark on her chest and took out a new set of toothbrushes from the cabin in the space.
She didn't go out until she washed her face.
Xie Yanbei had already prepared breakfast and was holding the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.
Seeing Ji Qingzhou standing at the door, the man waved to her.
"Are you up? I was just about to call you for dinner."
The food on the table was not very rich, only millet porridge and pickles.
Xie Yanbei got up early in the morning and bought a few more fried dough sticks.
He took off his apron, feeling a little embarrassed. "Time was tight this morning, and I didn't have time to go to the market. You can just make do with this and eat some. I'll buy some flour later today."
Xie Yanbei has always been efficient in his work, but now that his legs are dragging him down, he is not as good as before.
He hid the annoyance in his eyes, not wanting to trouble Ji Qingzhou.
Ji Qingzhou didn't care much. She waved her hand and pulled out the seat.
His legs were hurting now, but he still prepared breakfast for her when she woke up. Where could she find such a caring husband?
Ji Qingzhou said sympathetically, "That's already very good. I've been taking a lot of medicine, and some things are not suitable for me to eat. Auntie's health is not good, so let her eat something nutritious."
Speaking of Ye Lanqing, Xie Yanbei glanced at the room next door and put the last bowl of millet porridge on the table.
"You sit down and eat first, I'll go call my mom."
Ye Lanqing's memory has been noticeably worse recently than before. Although he is awake most of the time, he occasionally has intermittent attacks.
Fortunately, it did not affect her normal life, and she herself did not have too much emotional pressure and burden.
Ye Lanqing is now younger than Ji Qingzhou remembers, and her eyes are still as gentle and kind.
Seeing Xie Yanbei supporting his mother-in-law and walking over, Ji Qingzhou quickly stood up.
Just as she was about to go over to help, she heard Ye Lanqing smile: "Thank you so much, Xiao Xie. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a bite to eat."
"By the way, I haven't seen my son for a long time. Can you help me take a message and ask him to come home to visit?"
Xie Yanbei handed the spoon to his mother, a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted his mood.
Xie Yanbei squatted in front of Ye Lanqing, his eyes at the same level as hers.
"Okay, I'll tell him when I see him."
Ji Qingzhou just felt sad.
Ye Lanqing is obviously the person who loves him the most in this world. How sad would he be if he really forgot who he is in the future?
"Auntie, breakfast is getting cold soon. Please eat first."
Ji Qingzhou suddenly spoke and Ye Lanqing looked over.
When she saw the girl in front of her, her eyes lit up and she immediately smiled.
"My dear, when did you come back? Why didn't you say hello in advance? You've lost weight. Come sit down and eat. Mom has prepared a table full of your favorite dishes for you."
As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a pickle for Ji Qingzhou.
Ji Qingzhou looked at Xie Yanbei, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
How come you mistook her for your daughter?
"My daughter, how long are you going to stay this time? Can you please stay with me? I have no one to talk to here."
Ye Lanqing finished speaking and looked at Xie Yanbei again: "Xiao Xie, will you go with me this time? I was optimistic about you from the beginning. I have a good son-in-law. My daughter didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
Ji Qingzhou's depressed mood was swept away and she laughed crisply.
The old man treated her as his own daughter and Xie Yanbei as his son-in-law.
Ye Lanqing held Xie Yanbei's hand and refused to let go: "Xiao Xie, I only have this one daughter, you must treat her well."
Xie Yanbei nodded and wanted to feed her, but Ye Lanqing refused, saying that she was able to take care of herself.
"Don't worry, I will treat her well."
He raised his head and looked at Ji Qingzhou guiltily. His mother had not been ill a few days ago, but she had become confused again in the past two days.
Ji Qingzhou caused such a misunderstanding when he visited for the first time, which inevitably made people feel abrupt.
"My girl, I'm going to take you to a restaurant later. What do you want to eat?"
As Ye Lanqing spoke, he began to take something out of his pocket.
She had a handful of change in her pocket, and she scraped together a dollar here and there.
Her eyes never left Ji Qingzhou's face.
Ji Qingzhou carefully helped her mother-in-law put the money away: "Mom, we are all grown up now. Even if we want to go to a restaurant, we should take you there."
Xie Yanbei was surprised that Ji Qingzhou changed his words so early.
He raised his head and looked at Ji Qingzhou again, and Ji Qingzhou winked at him.
He was grateful in his heart, and seeing Ye Lanqing happy today, he even drank an extra bowl of porridge.
After dinner, Ye Lanqing stood up and moved closer to Ji Qingzhou.
She looked at it, as if she was thinking about something.
"My daughter, have a good rest. I'll go dig some potatoes in a while and then mom will cook for you."
She gently patted the back of Ji Qingzhou's hand with her calloused hand.
Even though his memory was confused, Ye Lanqing remembered that his children's favorite food was stewed potatoes.
Ji Qingzhou felt a little sad. She held Ye Lanqing's hand with one hand and a smile on her face.
"Mom, I'm not hungry yet. I'll go to the fields later. I'll cook today. Can you take a good rest?"
Ye Lanqing hesitated for a while. Her daughter had finally come back, and she still wanted her to cook for herself.
She shook her head: "No way, no matter how old you are, you are still my daughter. Mom has to make delicious food for you. How about stewed potatoes with meat?"
Ji Qingzhou was amused by the old lady's serious look. Even though she was sick, she still had the heart of a child.
After saying this, without waiting for Ji Qingzhou to reply, Ye Lanqing stood up hurriedly.
Xie Yanbei watched his mother stumbling back and immediately followed her.
"Mom, please be careful where you step. Where are you going? The sun is shining brightly today. Come outside and bask in the sun."
Ye Lanqing kept muttering, "Strange, where did I put the meat ticket? It was clearly on me just now."
She felt around and searched all her pockets, but still couldn't find it.
Xie Yanbei supported her arm with one hand: "Mom, the meat ticket has been put away, don't look for it, I'll give it to you."
Ye Lanqing seemed not to hear. She turned around and called towards Xie Yanbei's house.
"Old Xie! Where did you put our family's meat coupons? My daughter is back, why don't you come out to see anyone?"
Xie Yanbei grabbed Ye Lanqing's arm, feeling helpless but also compromising.
"Mom, my dad died a long time ago, you forgot."
