After Xu Qinghe sat down, she didn't rush to taste the delicacies in front of her. Instead, she said to the old lady seriously, "Grandma, from now on, we can no longer indulge Sun Youfang. If she dares to be arrogant and do whatever she wants again, we will let her know that the Xu family is not easy to bully!"
"Yes, we can't keep silent any longer!"
Zhu Yunxiu nodded in agreement, her eyes slightly red. This was a tenacity and hope that had not been seen for a long time, quietly sprouting in the Xu family's small kitchen.
A faint blush appeared in Zhu Yunxiu's eyes, a mixture of joy and excitement. The achievements of her granddaughter Xu Qinghe were like a warm spring breeze, quietly blowing away the haze in her heart that had been there for many years.
The joy in her heart was brighter than the flowers blooming in spring, more dazzling than the scorching sun in summer, and deeper and more real than that of anyone else.
At the dining table, Zhu Yunxiu kept urging the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to eat more. Her gaze fell especially gently on Xu Qinghe. She picked up a piece of carefully cooked dish and gently placed it in her granddaughter's bowl.
She said softly, "Qinghe, you are injured. You need to take more care of yourself."
The words are full of love and care from elders to the younger ones. The affection in every chopstick and spoon is more delicious than the food itself.
Zhu Yunxiu has accepted Yin Yunjie without reservation in her heart.
In her opinion, Yin Yunjie's calmness and responsibility are enough for Xu Qinghe to rely on.
This young man, who once avoided going home, gradually eliminated Zhu Yunxiu's disappointment with the word "home" through his actions.
She believed that her granddaughter would be very happy following Yin Yunjie.
Yin Yunjie was silent but focused at the dinner table. He didn't speak until he finished his meal.
His tone was calm yet firm, and every word struck a chord with everyone present: "After the wedding tomorrow, I will propose a separation. Grandma, you and Xu Qinghe can move there, away from all the gossip and rumors. I will return to this home that belongs to us."
His promise, simple yet powerful, represents a beautiful vision and firm protection of future life.
These words were undoubtedly like thunder in the clear sky for Xu Qinghe and Zhu Yunxiu.
Xu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder: In this era, how could someone have such enlightened thoughts and actions? She almost wondered if Yin Yunjie had also transcended time and space, possessing thoughts and emotions that transcended his time.
"Are you really going to build a new house for us, and let us live together as grandparents?"
Xu Qinghe's voice trembled slightly, and he was both surprised and happy.
Yin Yunjie nodded gently, his calmness was like a breeze on a summer afternoon, gentle and without a ripple.
"Yes, we will take care of grandma together."
This sentence, simple and warm, was like a warm current that instantly warmed the hearts of the two people present.
Zhu Yunxiu's eyes became moist again. This series of surprises came like a tide, impacting her weathered heart.
At this moment, Xu Qinghe deeply felt that being with such a man for her whole life was her greatest luck and satisfaction.
Zhu Yunxiu was so excited that she could hardly express it in words. She had experienced too many ups and downs in her life, a mixture of loss, pain and endurance. Now, facing Yin Yunjie's sincere friendship, she was so moved that she could hardly speak.
Xu Qinghe gently wiped her tears with her sleeve, her voice gentle but firm: "Grandma, please don't be like this. Without your love and care, I wouldn't be who I am today. You worked hard to raise me, and it's only natural for me to be filial to you. In the future, when we have our own family, we can stay away from all those unnecessary worries."
Xu Qinghe decided to accept Yin Yunjie's affection frankly. She knew that in the days to come, she would respond to this deep affection with more love and dedication, and together they would weave their warm and strong little world.
Since they were already married, they shouldn't be too fussy about such trivial matters. After all, getting away from the hustle and bustle and finding a quiet place to spend peaceful time together was her truest desire and yearning deep in her heart.
"Okay, okay, I won't cry anymore."
Zhu Yunxiu held back her tears and gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. The sincere wishes for her granddaughter's future happy life in her heart were as warm and bright as the spring sun.
Even though her eyes were still slightly flushed, a relieved smile gradually appeared on her face.
Xu Qinghe did not delve into Zhu Yunxiu's complex emotional fluctuations, and just thought that the old man was unable to control himself for a while because of his emotional excitement.
I believe that time, this gentle medicine, will eventually heal all the anxiety and sadness, and bring peace and harmony to our days.
After properly arranging Zhu Yunxiu, Xu Qinghe turned her gaze to Yin Yunjie, who was silently working hard. A thousand words welled up in her heart, and a simple "thank you" almost slipped out, but she thought again and changed her words, "Just relax, I'll take care of everything at home, don't worry about you running around outside."
His words were full of firmness and warmth, like a warm current flowing slowly through his heart.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yunjie nodded slightly, without saying anything extra, but took the initiative to take on the chore of clearing the table.
His movements are delicate and powerful, and every bit of care reveals his sense of responsibility and care for this small family.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghe couldn't help feeling a little guilty and wanted to step forward to help.
But he gently but firmly dissuaded her: "Let me come, you can spend more time with grandma. Tomorrow's wedding is very complicated, I need to prepare in advance, and I may not be able to come back tonight."
There was a hint of apology in his words, but also an unquestionable determination.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Xu Qinghe agreed repeatedly. Although the marriage certificate had already tied their destinies closely together, there was still a subtle sense of strangeness between them.
She was secretly worried about the awkwardness of being in the same room with them at night.
Yin Yunjie's sudden departure invisibly eased her tension and made her feel secretly relieved.
In the end, Xu Qinghe didn't interfere with any of the housework. Yin Yunjie quickly and methodically cleaned every corner of the kitchen. Before leaving, he specifically reminded her, "I'm not going back to the village tonight. If anyone comes looking for me, don't bother with them."
"Yeah, I see."
Xu Qinghe answered, and although she had some questions in her heart and wanted to inquire about his whereabouts, but considering the boundaries that should exist between newlyweds, she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
The trust and respect between them made her choose to remain silent.
After Yin Yunjie left, Xu Qinghe softly coaxed Zhu Yunxiu to sleep.
I started to tidy up my room, looking forward to the important day tomorrow.
Even if it is impossible to take care of everything, at least we should create a fresh environment for this small home to welcome their new chapter.
Although Zhu Yunxiu had no desire to sleep, she could understand the busyness and anticipation in her granddaughter's heart.
