Su Qian: "Once upon a time there was a grandmother-in-law. When she was seven or eight years old, there was a famine in the village. There was really no food to eat, so her parents abandoned her.
She had no skills or means of survival, and she made a living by picking up garbage. She often looked for food in the garbage dump, and sometimes she was lucky enough to pick up something that could be sold. This was how she spent most of her life.
One day, on a bleak autumn night, she found a little girl. The girl looked like she was just born, and perhaps because she had been hungry for a long time, she kept crying. She was afraid that the child would not survive, so she took her home.
My mother-in-law never got married and had no home in her life. The garbage dump and the street were her home. But things started to change after she picked up this abandoned baby.
She used the money she had earned from selling scrap to buy some seeds and began to learn how to grow vegetables. At the beginning, because she knew nothing, she wasted a lot of seedlings and seeds.
People laughed at her, thinking that someone who couldn't even support herself wanted to raise an abandoned baby. But she saved money and raised this little girl.
"She found this girl while she was looking for trash. My mother-in-law was uneducated and had never been to school. At first, she called the little girl 'Xiaozhao'.
Su Qian smiled and said, "After all, it was an abandoned baby that I found while looking for food near a garbage dump."
She didn't look sad at all. Instead, Lu Huan felt that her face was filled with a happy smile.
"The name Su Qian was randomly chosen by the staff when she took me to register my household registration. She was illiterate and didn't know what to name an abandoned baby. The staff couldn't think of a good one, and since there were people waiting behind her, they just randomly picked 'Qian'."
"The word 'Qian' was an accident, given by someone else. But the word 'Zhao Zhao' was given by my mother-in-law."
In order to make it easier for him to understand, Su Qian explained the matter of registering the household registration as registering the household registration information with the government.
"In our area, boys and girls can all go to school for free, but they have to find their own food and accommodation. My mother-in-law has been studying with me since I started school. She is a very studious person, but she just didn't have the conditions to go to school at that time."
"When we were in school, everyone bought a book called a 'dictionary' that explained Chinese characters. She would open it and read it when she had nothing to do. If she didn't understand something, she would ask me how to pronounce this word or what that word meant."
"Later, she saw the word 'zhao' in the dictionary. The two characters have similar pronunciations, but different tones. She thought 'zhaozhao' sounded bad, so she started calling me 'zhaozhao'."
"Su Qian is me, and Su Zhao is also me. No matter which one it is, it's the name she gave me."
As she spoke, her voice choked with sobs, "Lu Huan, you know what? Without her... there would be no me."
Lu Huan hugged her tightly with a distressed look on his face. "Grandma...is she still here? Let's bring her over."
Su Qian nestled in his arms, thinking that he couldn't see her anyway, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
She shook her head. "She's gone."
Lu Huan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stroke her back over and over again, "She's here, Grandma is always here."
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and he continued, "She has always been by your side, hoping that you will be happy."
After hearing this, she immediately burst into tears, tears falling like beads that could not be stopped, her thin back and shoulders kept shaking, and occasionally she let out a few sobs that she tried hard to cover up.
Her heart and throat suddenly felt sore. Lu Huan, who was always cold and arrogant, couldn't stop his fingers from trembling as he hugged her.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Qian was tired of crying and fell asleep in his arms.
Lu Huan carried her to the bed and covered her with the quilt.
Seeing the traces of tears still on her face, he reached out and wiped her face with his embroidered robe, then sat beside the bed and stared at her face for a long time.
There are unknown emotions hidden in the deep eyes.
…
When Su Qian woke up the next day, she remembered that she had cried in front of Lu Huan. After waking up, she felt ashamed and embarrassed, and didn't know how to face him.
She sat on the bed in frustration for a long time, until Zitan came knocking on the door, and then she calmed down.
Zi Tan said, "Miss Su, the master asked if you are awake yet. If you are, please come and have breakfast with us."
Su Qian: "I see. Bring me some water so I can wash up."
"yes."
Su Qian washed up slowly while calming herself down. Zitan stood by and watched her dawdle without urging her.
After everything was ready, Su Qian pretended nothing had happened and followed Zitan to his room.
Lu Huan was reading a military book and didn't even look up when he heard her come in.
Su Qian looked at the meal prepared on the table. "It's only morning, and you're already eating such a sumptuous meal?"
Lu Huan turned a page of the book and said lightly, "Hmm."
Su Qian didn't know why he suddenly became so cold. He was patting her shoulders and coaxing her last night, and his tone was gentle, which was not like him at all. After waking up from a sleep today, he returned to his indifferent look.
It's like changing face.
Su Qian sat at the table without picking up her chopsticks, just waiting for him.
He asked her to come and have dinner with him, but he was reading a book here. She didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks until he did.
Lu Huan raised his eyes slightly, looking at her sitting upright, and couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Why don't you eat?"
Su Qian asked back, "How can I dare to eat when you haven't even started eating yet?"
Lu Huan's mouth twitched. He was clearly waiting for her to come for dinner, but she made it sound like he was torturing her, as if he was some ferocious trapped beast that would take advantage of her if he was not satisfied.
At this time, Su Qian looked like a hedgehog, with a completely different face from the crying woman last night. It seemed as if she would feel unhappy if she didn't prick him.
He had never seen such an unreasonable woman before. Apart from her, no one dared to make trouble in front of him and try to anger him.
She always said that she was afraid of her, but how much fear did she show in what she said and what she did?
His originally calm heart suddenly surged with anger, "Why don't you dare eat? Did I deprive you of food, or did I starve you?"
"Su Zhao, are you being so unreasonable in front of Yan Xuanye?"
He didn't know what he had done to make her unhappy that she had to talk to him like that.
Su Qian changed the direction of the situation in time, "How about... let's have dinner."
She instantly subsided, her aggressive demeanor. Lu Huan was surprised by her change of expression and sighed lightly, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
