She is not good at such sensational things.
After letting him go, I ran upstairs to give both of us some time and space to ease the awkwardness.
When I went downstairs again, my uncle had returned to normal.
Huang Guilian had received news earlier that Sangzhi and her brother were going on a long journey, so she came to pick up her son before dawn.
After saying hello, the two children came out with sleepy eyes.
Sangzhi just gave the new pillow she had prepared to her uncle.
She bought the pillowcase from the department store a few days ago, thinking about the new home and new atmosphere, and she didn't expect it would come in handy.
As they get older, most elderly people have trouble sleeping, so the lining of the mulberry branches is made with dried Albizia Julibrissin flowers, Polygonum multiflorum, and Cassia seeds.
If he hadn't had a stiff neck last night, Sangzhi wouldn't have thought of this.
"You have trouble sleeping at night, so I added some medicinal herbs to it. It will help you sleep better and won't cause you to get a stiff neck."
Wei Lingdong saw the pillow and stopped yawning.
A hint of disappointment also flashed in Sang Bei's eyes.
"Why are you unhappy?"
Huang Guilian had been paying attention to the children's expressions. Seeing that the two children looked obviously lost, she asked them with concern.
"After we got the 'trophy' yesterday, we thought about cutting it ourselves and making a new pillow for Uncle, but..."
No wonder the two kids were hesitantly asking her for cloth last night.
It turns out you think the same as me.
But when giving gifts, I am afraid of comparison. Mulberry branch’s pillow is so beautiful and functional, it completely beats theirs.
My uncle is smiling now, just like an old tree blooming. The fact that the child is so thoughtful is his greatest comfort. How could he dislike it?
"I like it. No matter which of you makes it, I like it."
Huang Guilian looked at the pillowcases made by her son and his friends with great satisfaction.
They were still young, the cloth was cut crookedly, and the few stitches were uneven.
But like the old man said.
The thought is what matters most.
She is so rich that she has seen all kinds of good things, but no matter how expensive or exquisite the gift is, it cannot compare to a sincere heart.
Seeing two pillow inners in front of her son, she looked puzzled.
Wei Lingdong was stared at by this gaze, his eyes wandered, he scratched his head and didn't dare to look at her.
"It's your birthday tomorrow, isn't it? I don't have anything nice to give you, so I just wanted to make a pillow myself. Because I didn't rely on my family for the cloth and cotton, and I didn't spend your or Dad's money, I got it all by myself, so..."
When he was in South Asia, his parents were busy, so he often followed his bodyguard Acai to eat, drink and have fun. In fact, he didn’t realize how difficult it was to be an adult.
But after living with Sangzhi's siblings and integrating into family life, I realized how much hardship they had endured.
This is how I got this birthday gift.
Huang Guilian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, her heart pounding, until she heard her son's anxious voice, she woke up from her dream.
"Mom, don't you like it?"
“I like it! I like it!”
With tears in her eyes, she looked towards the mulberry branch with gratitude.
Because she herself got such a healthy and sensible son.
Before I could utter the words of gratitude, I heard crying behind me.
The harmonious and sentimental atmosphere came to an abrupt end with a loud cry.
Looking back, I saw the burly Acai covering his face and crying, a posture that was completely inconsistent with his image.
When she noticed everyone's gaze, she cried even louder.
"The young master has grown up and become sensible, and the lady will also be filial. I feel like crying."
Wei Lingdong held his forehead helplessly.
"You know how to respect your wife, but why should my mother respect me? I told you to practice Chinese more, so why haven't you made any progress after all this time?"
His actions dispelled some of the sadness of parting.
When Huang Guilian came, she brought a lot of nutritional supplements and local specialties, and also gave her a contact number, telling her to contact her if she had any problems that could not be solved while she was away.
Sangzhi hugged her to express her gratitude, "First of all, I want to say happy birthday to you, sister!"
Because of Wei Lingdong, the two families are actually closely tied together.
After Sangzhi finished making pancakes and checked the luggage, Acai helped her put the things into the trunk.
This way, she could be sent to Zhang's house on the way, saving the trouble of having someone come to pick her up.
After saying goodbye to their uncle, the brother and sister left the military compound facing the morning glow in the east.
It only takes about ten minutes to drive from here to Zhang's house, but when the car passes the main road.
Huang Guilian lamented that at this time, there were more pedestrians on the road than usual.
It’s just past six o’clock and it’s not even bright outside yet.
However, her doubts did not last long, and someone answered them for her.
The joyful conversations of several female comrades drifted in through the car window.
"I heard that the grocery store will open at five o'clock today, just to make it easier for everyone to buy meat..."
"You heard about it too? When my sister-in-law told me the news last night, I thought it was fake news."
"It's true. They said the police raided a den last night and seized more than a dozen pigs. My neighbor went there early in the morning, and I bought some meat when I left.
There are several big fat pigs on the counter, I guarantee everyone can buy one."
"I saved up my meat coupons for two months and used them all today so the kids could have a good meal!"
"Well, we also make dumplings at noon. My son was clamoring for dumplings before going to bed last night..."
It was freezing cold, but no one cared. The women carried baskets, wore headscarves, and had satisfaction on their faces.
After listening to their conversation, the two children looked at each other, their chests puffed out, with unconcealable pride on their faces.
See, this is their contribution.
Sangzhi was infected by the atmosphere and pursed her lips slightly.
very nice.
When they first arrived at Zhang's house, the brother and sister were loading things onto the cart. When they saw Sang Zhi, they were surprised that she came so early.
