"Boom, boom, boom."
“Here I come.”
Mother Lu heard the noise and got out of bed to open the door. When she saw the person at the door, she asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"
"Why are you back?" Lu Qingyan heard the noise and came out. She saw the man who had not yet entered the house, looking like a drowned rat, and wondered
Section 49
"The train stopped running, and I couldn't go back to my hometown, so I came back." Gu Mingze sighed and said
"Then I'll make you some ginger soup so you can drink it to warm yourself up." Seeing her son-in-law like this, Mother Lu hurried to the kitchen to make ginger soup
"Change your shoes and go inside to change your clothes." Lu Qingyan felt relieved when she saw him coming back, but at the same time, she felt an inexplicable emotion disturbing her.
"Well, stay away from me first, so that the cold air on my body won't pass on to you." After Gu Mingze finished speaking, he took a closer look at his wife's face, and saw that it was no different from the others. He guessed that maybe he had seen it wrong yesterday.
Lu Qingyan obediently stayed away from the crowd and sat aside without saying a word.
"What's wrong? You look a little strange." Gu Mingze came out after changing his clothes and asked his silent wife.
"No, go drink some ginger soup after you change. I'll go back to my room to rest first." Lu Qingyan shook her head, stood up and went back to her room.
"Mom, was Xiaoyan unhappy after I left yesterday?" Gu Mingze was now sure that his wife was unhappy, so he waited for someone to enter the house and looked at his mother-in-law and asked.
"No? Maybe you didn't get enough rest, so you don't look happy." When Lu's mother heard her son-in-law's question, she didn't want to tell her daughter's thoughts, so she said casually.
"Oh, maybe you didn't sleep well." Seeing his mother-in-law said so, Gu Mingze really thought he was seeing things, so he waited for the ginger soup to be ready, and drank two bowls of it, until he broke into sweat.
"You must be tired from walking all the way here. Let's go back to the house and have a nap." Mother Lu waited for her son-in-law to finish drinking, then reached out to take the empty bowl and said:
"No, I'm going back to work." Gu Mingze said, then he got up, washed the clothes he had taken off, put on his raincoat and walked out
"My daughter, Mingze is back, so stop being so irritable!" Mother Lu said as she walked into the room after her son-in-law left, stretching out her hand to nudge the person pretending to be asleep.
"Mom, I'm not throwing a tantrum." Lu Qingyan was pushed by her mother, so she stopped pretending to sleep and sat up and said
"You're not kidding. What are you doing? You don't look happy when they come back." Mother Lu didn't believe her daughter's lies. She sat aside and pouted.
"I'm really not kidding, I just feel really uncomfortable inside and I don't know why." Seeing her mother like this, Lu Qingyan shook her head and said
"You are just in a bad mood." Mother Lu reached out and tapped her daughter's head and said, "Now that he is back, you should be good and stop looking so sullen all day long, as if Mingze owes you something."
"I know. I just feel unhappy. That's why I look a little unhappy. I promise I won't be like this again when he comes back." Lu Qingyan said coquettishly while hugging her mother's arm.
"Okay, then you take a nap. I'll call you when dinner is ready." Mother Lu said as she tucked the quilt in for the man before walking out.
When Gu Mingze came back in the evening, he saw a smile on his wife's face. He couldn't help but wonder, pregnant women change so quickly.
He had a sullen face when he left, but now he's back with a smile on his face. It's really hard to understand.
"Why are you looking at me? Eat." Seeing the man staring at her, Lu Qingyan urged him to eat quickly and stop looking at her.
"Oh, let's eat, let's eat." Gu Mingze came back to his senses, picked up some dishes for his wife, and then started eating.
"Mingze, when you went to the train station, didn't you ask when the train would be available?" Father Lu asked as he picked up his chopsticks and picked up some food while looking at his son-in-law.
"I didn't ask, but I guess if it keeps raining, the road will definitely be blocked." Gu Mingze felt upset when he thought about not being able to go back to his hometown and not even having a year off.
Why didn’t I ask when I arrived at the station yesterday? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken a whole day to come back.
"It keeps raining. We may not have enough food in the fall." Father Lu sighed when he heard this.
"Yes, this summer is almost over. If it rains again, it will be too late to replenish the crops in the fields." When Mother Lu heard the old man's words, she also sighed.
"I think the rain is almost over. When I went out just now, the rain was much lighter." Gu Mingze looked at the two elders and sighed, then said
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Father and Mother Lu put down their chopsticks at the same time, pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing that the rain was indeed much lighter than usual, they finally smiled.
"The rain is really light now. It will probably be sunny in two days. When the sun is out and the road is dry, Xiaoyan can go out to get some fresh air." Mother Lu said while sitting on a stool and looking at her daughter.
"Well, I've been feeling suffocated staying in the house for a while. I'd like to go out and get some fresh air." Lu Qingyan smiled and said
After they finished their meal and cleaned up, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Wife, are you unwilling to go back to my hometown when I told you to?" Gu Mingze lay on the bed and watched his wife combing her hair. After thinking for a while, he asked her what was in his mind.
"No, why wouldn't I want to?" Lu Qingyan glanced back and said
"Oh, maybe I am seeing things." Gu Mingze nodded and said
"You must be seeing things. How could I not want you to go back to your hometown to visit your parents? Don't you think so?" Lu Qingyan lowered her eyes and said
Gu Mingze looked through the mirror and saw his wife's appearance. He finally understood.
I really wasn't seeing things yesterday. My wife really had an issue with me going back to my hometown.
So he said sullenly, “I know my mother was wrong to treat you like that.
But my mother is now paralyzed on the kang. Even if I don't want to take care of her, I have to go back to see her, don't you think?"
"Well, I didn't say anything else. It's normal for you to go back to see your parents." Lu Qingyan looked at him and smiled.
"But you have a problem with this matter. You are obviously very unhappy about my going back to my hometown, but now you pretend not to care. Do you know that this makes me feel very uncomfortable?" Gu Mingze got out of bed, holding his shoes, and hugged Lu Qingyan from behind, whispering
"I'm not unwilling, but I'm afraid that after you go back, my parents will say that they want to live with you in the city, and you bring them back. What should I do then? How can I face them?" Seeing the man like this, Lu Qingyan had to put down the wooden comb in her hand and said softly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings, but don't worry, I know you have a grudge against mom because of what she did to you, so I just want to go back and see them, I won't bring them over." Gu Mingze knew very well that if he brought his parents over, maybe his wife wouldn't say anything.
But his wife would definitely not serve his parents, so this time when he went back, he really had no plan to bring his parents over.
It's just that he left in too much of a hurry yesterday and didn't explain clearly to his wife, causing her to have wild thoughts at home.
