Chapter 194 It Can Only Be This Way
When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Zhuang Yutian walking towards me.
"Uncle Yutian." Zhuang Qingning greeted.
When Zhuang Yutian saw Zhuang Qingning coming back, he quickly walked over to him and said, "I was just wondering if you were busy with the shop in town and if I could not find you. Fortunately, you are back."
"Your aunt has been thinking of me bringing back two purses for you two. I kept running back and forth here, but I always forgot. Your aunt has been telling me to bring them back this time no matter what."
"Here, two for each of you, you can take turns using them on a daily basis. When there are new items in the shop in a while, ask your aunt to pick out a few good ones, and I will bring them back for you."
As Zhuang Yutian spoke, he stuffed the four purses in his hand into the hands of Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui.
It is a purse commonly used by little girls nowadays, and it is also the color that most little girls like, bean green, smoke blue, peach red, and water lotus red. The fabric is also medium-quality material that is not expensive but presentable, and it is embroidered with patterns of orchids or winter jasmine.
"Thank you, Uncle Yutian." Zhuang Qingning took it and thanked him: "Please thank Auntie for us too."
"Okay." Zhuang Yutian grinned and lowered his voice a little: "How have you been trying to persuade my mother these days?"
This is about the brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng, who were thinking of inviting Wen to live with them in turn.
The two brothers failed to persuade Mrs. Wen and were scolded instead. They did not dare to say too much for fear of making Mrs. Wen angry again, so they thought of asking Zhuang Qingning to mediate.
"I have mentioned it several times, but my aunt still doesn't mean it."
Zhuang Qingning answered truthfully: "But my aunt-in-law understands your and Uncle Yucheng's filial piety, and she is happy in her heart. She even praised you several times in front of me."
Wen usually speaks in a sarcastic way. It is rare for her to speak normally, let alone praise the two brothers. This is really a rare thing from childhood to adulthood.
When Zhuang Yutian heard this, he was immediately delighted and even rubbed his hands excitedly.
But Zhuang Yutian felt a little depressed when he thought that even though Wen praised the two brothers, she still had no intention of living with them.
"Uncle Yutian, how should I put it? I think my aunt-in-law has her own plans for this matter."
Zhuang Qingning said, "Actually, I know my temper, but it's accumulated over the years, and it's impossible to change it. I know you and Uncle Yucheng are filial, and the two aunts are even better, but I don't care about my temper after spending a day or two with you."
"After ten days or half a month, I just advise them to be more open-minded, but after three months or half a year, I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable. After one or two years, I'm afraid they will complain."
"When filial piety is in my heart, I think everything is good, but when I actually do it, the feeling is not quite the same, especially when I encounter something unpleasant, quarrels may become commonplace."
"What Auntie is worried about is that you are being filial now, and she doesn't see you very often. When she does see you occasionally, she can be patient and talk to you in a low voice. It's a happy and comfortable life with a loving mother and filial son. When you really get together, you can't say for sure that there will be chaos. You won't feel comfortable, and Auntie won't feel happy either."
"So I think that's what my aunt-in-law thinks. She should still live here. You should come to her house more often when you have time and take care of her. On weekdays, there are always people in the tofu shop, and I can't wait to go there two or three times a day. You don't have to worry too much about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. This way you can feel more at ease, and both sides can live more comfortably."
"When I get the chance in the future, I will often mention it, so that aunt can have the idea of going to the county town for a visit. In this way, if I can visit your house once every one or two months, you and aunt can both show your filial piety, and you won't be criticized by outsiders. Aunt can also live more comfortably, which is the best of both worlds."
"Uncle Yutian, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Zhuang Yutian lowered his head and thought for a long time.
"Every word you said makes sense. This method is the best compromise. It seems that this is the only way for now."
"But from now on, Miss Ning will have to worry about me more and come here more often."
"Isn't this as I should?" Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "I told Uncle Yutian before that my aunt was willing to rent this tofu shop to me when I had no livelihood to rely on. I am so grateful in my heart. Not to mention that I have to take care of my aunt all the time, to put it bluntly, it is my duty to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life."
"Uncle Yutian, don't worry about this. Tell Uncle Yucheng and Auntie about it. I am really happy about it."
When Zhuang Yutian heard Zhuang Qingning say this, he felt more and more that Zhuang Qingning was really a sensible and good girl. In addition to gratitude, there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at her.
After all, everyone knows the principle of repaying kindness, but when it comes to actually doing it, that is another matter.
What's more, he can do it so well.
After talking for a while, Zhuang Yutian was still thinking about getting back to the county town as soon as possible while it was still early. He was also thinking that Zhuang Qingning might be tired after returning from the town, so he didn't disturb her to rest and went home first.
Before leaving, he also reminded Zhuang Qingning to tell him if she needed any fashionable fabrics in the future, and that if she had time to go to the county town in the future, she must go to his house to have some made.
Zhuang Qingning responded and came down. After seeing Zhuang Yutian off, he returned to the yard and started to tinker with making the steamed spareribs with rice flour.
I bought a lot of spare ribs, chopped off the heads on both sides and stewed them into spare rib soup. I added some spring corn I bought in town, which made it light and delicious.
The ribs in the middle are chopped into small pieces, and then steamed in a pot to make the steamed spareribs rich in flavor, tender and fragrant.
Zhuang Qingning deliberately bought a lot of ribs, and the resulting ribs were so abundant that the two sisters couldn't finish them, so they gave some to Wen and Zhuang Yonghe one by one.
When Zhuang Qingning came back from Wen's house, Zhuang Qingsui also came back from Zhuang Yonghe's house with a bundle of fresh mugwort in her hand.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes at night. My aunt said to bring this back and put it by the bed. It works." Zhuang Qingsui said.
“That’s a good feeling.”
Zhuang Qingning has been worried about mosquitoes these days.
There were no mosquito coils or mosquito repellents at that time. In her previous life, she had a physique that attracted mosquitoes, but with the various protections of modern technology, she could still tolerate it. But in this era, there was nothing useful.
Hanging up the curtain can indeed block some mosquitoes, but now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and hanging up the curtain is too stuffy and uncomfortable.
By the end of the year, I am so busy~ ┭┮﹏┭┮
