Chapter 92
Xu Di and her grandmother walked home talking and laughing, discussing what happened during the photo shoot as they walked.
"Xiao Di, I think I closed my eyes when I took the solo photo just now."
"Which one?"
“It’s the one with the beach in the background.”
The more Grandma Qian thought about it, the more she felt that she had closed her eyes at the time. When the photos were developed, she would not look good with her eyes closed.
"No, I saw you didn't close your eyes."
"Really? Why do I feel like I closed my eyes?"
Xu Di recalled carefully and confirmed that his grandmother did not close her eyes.
Grandma Qian was particularly happy after receiving Xu Di's assurance, and felt that she, an old lady, was getting older and older.
Why did she start to care about such trivial things? Before, she hated taking photos the most.
"Let's go back quickly. It will be hot outside soon. Ask your Aunt Wu to make some hand-rolled noodles for lunch. It will be cool."
"Okay, now that you mention it, I want to eat it too."
As soon as I reached the door, it opened.
"Aunt Wu, how did you know we were back?"
"I saw it at the window. Aunt Qian, Xiao Di, there are guests at home. We have been waiting for a long time."
When Grandma Qian saw Xiao Wu's expression, she knew that the person who came was not welcome.
"Who's coming?"
"Chaoyang's parents."
Grandma Qian understood clearly that he was indeed not a welcome guest.
"Mom, are you back?"
Zhang Peng heard voices at the door and hurried over to say hello.
"Why are you here?"
Grandma Qian took Xu Di to the living room and saw Zhou Hong, Zhang Chaoyang's mother, sitting on the sofa.
"Mom, you guys are back?"
Seeing her mother-in-law, Zhou Hong stood up unconsciously.
When Xu Di looked at Zhang Chaoyang's mother's performance, the scene of a mouse seeing a cat appeared in his mind.
"Dad, Mom."
Xu Di followed her grandmother and simply greeted Zhang Chaoyang's parents.
"Chaoyang wife, your belly is so big, why are you still taking pictures?
Why don’t pregnant women have any self-awareness? Why don’t they stay at home and run around everywhere? ”
Zhou Hong is a mouse in front of her mother-in-law, but wants to be a tiger in front of her daughter-in-law.
"Whether or not to take pictures has nothing to do with you, why are you trying to show off here?
You have never cared about anything when Chaoyang was a child. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at his wife? ”
Grandma Qian was unhappy. Zhou Hong wanted to act like a mother-in-law, but she came to the wrong place.
"Mom, you misunderstood. Zhou Hong is just worried about her daughter-in-law. She's afraid that something might happen to her while she's pregnant."
Zhang Peng glared at Zhou Hong and quickly tried to make amends.
The old man has already said that he is an unfilial son, so how can this woman not understand the situation?
"Dad, I have to go to work every day now, and taking pictures is more tiring than going to work.
Besides, I have been pregnant for such a long time, how could I not take good care of myself and my belly and remember the baby? ”
Although Xu Di is not very good at arguing, there are some things that she wants to say herself and cannot point all the fingers at her grandmother.
We can’t let Zhang Chaoyang’s mother think that she is someone who is easy to manipulate. Without her grandmother, she can’t let her manipulate her.
After hearing what Xu Di said, Zhang's father didn't know how to respond.
"How do you talk to your father-in-law? Do you have any tutors?"
Zhou Hong thought that her mother-in-law couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't control her daughter-in-law who came from a poor family.
"you……"
Xu Di held his grandmother's hand and stopped her from speaking.
“I don’t have any tutors, so it depends on whether the person you are talking to has tutors or not.
You are the one who gave birth to Chaoyang. We respect each other and everyone is happy.
However, if you want to use your status to pressure me and make me surrender unconditionally, you have found the wrong person.
First of all, this is not the old society, and there is no such saying as mother-in-law is the boss.
We are all equal. Don't bring out that mother-in-law style. I won't recognize you.
Secondly, I am a military wife, and a military wife who is left alone without her husband around. The Women's Federation will take care of us. What right do you have to yell at me?
Excuse me, where is your tutor? ”
“You, you…”
Zhou Hong never imagined that one day, her daughter-in-law would point her finger at her and ask her about her tutoring.
Even though she is Chaolang's wife, who comes from such a good family, one has to be polite to her.
She, who came from a humble family, actually dared to speak to her like that.
Zhou Hong didn't remember Xu Di's name and she didn't take it to heart at all.
"Xiao Di is right, Zhou Hong, don't bring your methods here, it won't work.
You are just the one who gave birth to Chaoyang, but you didn't raise him. What qualifications do you have to act like an elder here? ”
Grandma Qian was very satisfied. She thought Xiaodi was a soft-hearted child, but unexpectedly, she also had a tough side.
This time I feel relieved. From now on, even if she is gone, Xiaodi can support herself.
Zhang Peng looked at the two people opposite him. His mother smiled and patted Chaoyang's wife's hand, as if praising her for a good job.
"Mom, we didn't give birth to the child without raising him. You are Chaoyang's biological grandmother. We have no reason to worry about leaving the child with you."
Zhang Peng made specious excuses to justify their inaction.
"Bullshit, are you talking like a human being? I am your grandmother, don't worry, that's why I won't come to see the child for four or five years.
Have you ever thought about how a child of a certain age feels if he or she doesn’t see his or her parents for several years?
The adults and children around him gossiped about him, saying that he was a wild child that no one wanted. Have you ever thought that children may also feel uncomfortable? ”
When this matter was mentioned, Grandma Qian's temper suddenly flared up.
Chaoyang was five or six years old at that time. The couple left for several years and never came back once. The adults and children in the family compound all said that Chaoyang was a wild child and that his parents didn't want him anymore.
When Chaoyang asked her tearfully if she was an unwanted wild child, she cried.
No matter how difficult the situation was in the past, she never cried. However, looking at the ignorant child and his sad expression, she cried.
"Grandma, drink some water, take a deep breath, and don't be angry.
Chaoyang has grown up and he no longer needs the love of his parents, but he cannot live without his grandmother. ”
Xu Di calmed down his grandmother and told her not to get excited.
"Mom, don't be angry, we were wrong."
Zhang Peng was shocked. Damn, it had been a long time since someone scolded him like that.
When he was young, he felt that his mother was too controlling and too strict. Every time he heard her scolding him, he felt annoyed to death.
Later, when her mother left for a few years and came back, he had become very close to Aunt Fang.
His mother didn't say anything, but she no longer scolded him as much as before.
Their relationship became increasingly distant.
"Zhang Peng, Zhou Hong, since you have given up Chaoyang, now you should all be well and live your own lives.
Don't interfere in how the young couple lives their life.
Be thoughtful and give your children some practical care. Don't come here with nothing in your hands and act like an elder.
I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to act like an elder. Even if I die, you have no right to point fingers at Chaoyang and the others. ”
Grandma Qian spoke in a calm tone, as if she was not the one who had just cursed.
"Mom, we got it."
Zhang Peng really didn't think about buying anything. He just wanted to go through the motions and let the old man know that they were not unfilial sons.
Now, looking at his old mother with a calm face, he felt sad and didn't know what to say.
There are too many barriers between them as mother and son, and that's how it will be in this life.
Damn, I was disappointed in him, even desperate. She didn't include herself in the list of people to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life.
Zhou Hong wanted to say something, but looking at her silent husband and the old man and the child opposite her, she opened her mouth but said nothing.
Quiet, the room was extremely quiet until there was a knock on the door.
