The dinner that night was very warm and touching.
After dinner, Zhang Xinxiang kept following Xiushui around.
At first Xiushui didn't care, but when she noticed that her mother always approached her cautiously and opened her mouth without knowing what to say, she knew that Zhang wanted to communicate with her.
She turned around and looked at Zhang helplessly.
"Mom, go spend more time with Changtong and Heimei. I really don't need you to take care of me anymore."
Zhang Xinxiang's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Xiu'er, I know that you and I missed each other when you needed me the most. After I came back, I was able to get along very well with your sister and brother, but I and you... because you are sensible and self-reliant, I want to be close to you but I don't know what to say.
If this continues, I feel I will gradually become distant from you and will never be able to be close to you. Tonight, seeing your second aunt and Xiumei getting along, I know I can't go on like this.
I know you are grown up now and don’t need your love, but I still want to tell you that I care about you.
Whether it's you or your siblings, I care about them all. As long as you need me, I can do anything for you."
Looking at Zhang's hurriedly leaving back, Xiushui sighed.
After Zhang Xinxiang came back, apart from normal communication, she was indeed not very close to her.
She was raised by her grandmother since she was a child, and has no memory of her father and mother.
Wen Si was the quiet type, so she just needed to have normal affection with him.
If you don't do or say much about other things, Wen Si won't be affected.
But Zhang is obviously different. She is emotional, sensitive and intelligent.
She saw how politely and courteously she treated them.
She wanted to give herself affection, and she tried hard, but…she really couldn't be intimate.
So, after grandma walked with her for a while, the old lady clapped her hands.
"Xiu, she's a good mother, but you don't have to respond.
After she came back, she quietly asked me how to get along with you. I said that as long as I do what a mother should do, you will all understand.
She is a normal mother, and you are her first child..."
For a child, one must pay more. Earlier, the original body and Zhang Xinxiang also got along very harmoniously.
Now that her soul has been changed, it is of course a little awkward for her to get along with Zhang Xinxiang.
Xiushui spread her hands. "Grandma, at first, I didn't really consider Changtong and Heimei my younger siblings. But I gradually came to accept them, didn't I?
As long as she remains true to her original intention, I will remember it."
The old lady patted her on the shoulder. Her granddaughter was just like that. Ordinary people really couldn't get into her heart.
In the future, she should give Zhang more advice. She believes that as long as she takes good care of her granddaughter, her feelings will be reciprocated one day.
When the old lady found Zhang, she felt relieved.
"Mom, I'm the one who caused the child trouble. I was too impatient. When I was out, I always recalled the clinging look of Xiu Jie'er when she was a child.
Now, after several years, the girl has grown up, but I am still stuck in the memory of her childhood.
I felt lost when I suddenly saw that she no longer relied on me and no longer asked me or looked for me for everything.
Haha, the child has grown up, but I am stuck in the same place. This is not good, I will pay attention to it in the future."
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter-in-law had really figured it out.
"You are all good children."
"Yes, we good kids have met a good mother like you..."
Looking at her daughter-in-law who was acting coquettishly on her shoulder, the old lady couldn't help but touch her head.
Why is this daughter-in-law acting like a granddaughter, always acting like a spoiled brat? But it's so useful.
The old lady was also emotional, and she rubbed her daughter-in-law's head and sighed.
"I never thought I could become an old noble in this life. When you think about how filial and dependent you children are on me, I think my life has not been lived in vain."
Thinking about the time when she first came here and saw the whole family having such a headache, the old lady burst out laughing.
Zhang Xinxiang looked up and saw her mother-in-law smiling happily, and she also started to smile foolishly.
"Mother, it's because you deserve our filial piety. I haven't seen any mother-in-law in the world as good as you.
You don’t know, in the past there were many people in our village who bullied their daughters-in-law.
Now that you're getting along well with us, many evil mothers-in-law are slowly becoming better."
The old lady nodded. She was really proud of this. She alone had changed so many people's opinions.
Come to think of it, it’s really a good thing that this old woman came here through time.
"Mom, you still remember Sanhua Milk and Old Lady Zheng, right?
How vicious they were back then. All they had in their hearts and eyes were their eldest son and their youngest grandson.
The second son, the second oldest, was so filial that I could never get over him. After this escape from famine, I found that both of their mothers-in-law had changed.
Now, regardless of how good they are to their respective second sons, at least they can treat them equally.
Especially the old woman of the Zheng family, she has been following Zheng Laoer since she came here.
I've observed this several times, and she really doesn't bother Zheng Erjia anymore. Sometimes, when she sees Zheng Erjia being bullied by her daughters-in-law, she'll even scold her out of resentment for not fighting back... Haha, it's really surprising."
"That's because she was hurt by her sons and daughters-in-law when she was fleeing famine. In the end, she found that having a lot of children was useless. All of them combined were not as filial as the one from Zheng Erjia.
So, the old lady had a hard time, and she had learned a lesson. Fortunately, she turned back in time and knew who was the most sincere person. From now on, as long as she treats Zheng Laoer's family sincerely, she will have good fortune in the future.
…
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Xiushui was making yogurt cake over there.
After eating so much yogurt at once, even if there is space for storage, it can't keep occupying the space. So, I still have to deal with these things.
But after thinking about it, she could only think of making some yogurt cakes, yogurt twisted dough sticks, and yogurt snacks.
While I was making noodles, Xiumei came in with Heimei.
Maybe because Li praised her in public, the silent girl came in with a bright smile on her face today.
There was light in his eyes, and he looked much more confident and cheerful.
This kind of her also made Xiushui sigh secretly, it is true that only children with love can be sunny. People really can't lack love too much.
"Sister Xiu, can we learn from her too?"
"Xiumei, are you going to cook for us after you learn this?"
Xiushui joked, but Xiumei quietly tugged at Heimei's hand.
Then, the little girl said gloomily, "You bought so much yogurt at once, so of course I have to help you think of a way to deal with it. I can't let people laugh at you.
So Xiumei and I decided that we would use these things to make some food and turn them into money so that you won’t be laughed at.”
