Chapter 71: A Vase Actor Seeking True Love 22: Mother Fu is Sick...
Yan Mi asked her agent to keep an eye out for good scripts for her and to take on any good one she found.
But before he could find a good script, Yan Mi received a call from Fu Xiao's father.
"Uncle." Yan Mi shouted.
Father Fu hummed and briefly explained, "I couldn't get through to Fu Xiao, so I called you."
"Uncle, is there anything I can do for you?" Yan Mi felt terrified. Fu Xiao's parents usually wouldn't contact her unless there was something important, but this time she actually took the initiative to answer the call from Fu Xiao's father.
"Your aunt is sick and I'm not with her. If you are free, please go and see her for me. I'm stuck here and won't be back for a few days." Father Fu's voice was weak for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look right away. I'll ask Fu Xiao to go see my aunt after he gets off work. Don't worry, we'll take care of my aunt." Yan Mi put the phone on his shoulder, quickly found what he needed, and walked out while talking on the phone.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Father Fu spoke very politely.
"Uncle, you are too polite. I should have gone to see my aunt earlier when she was sick." Yan Mi drove a car casually.
She knew why Father Fu was worried. The old Fu family house had not been occupied for a long time. Fu Xiao's parents were usually abroad, so not many people were invited to live in the house.
When Father Fu heard the sound of the car starting, he knew Yan Mi had already left. "Then drive slowly. Your aunt is at the old house. She has a bad temper. Please be more tolerant of her."
"Well, don't worry." Yan Mi replied.
Mr. Fu gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
When Yan Mi went there, the whole house was extremely deserted. Although the door was closed, the pitch-black door still gave people a sense of oppression.
It was already deep winter, and Yan Mi wrapped himself tightly in his clothes. When he entered, the house was filled with snow, and the road had not been cleared.
Yan Mi walked in slowly, taking a few steps at a time, and it took him a long time to reach the main entrance.
The heater was on in the room, the warm yellow light was on, the wooden furniture was neatly arranged, but it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of snowflakes falling.
"Aunt?" Yan Mi looked around but didn't see Mother Fu.
Following a cough, Yan Mi looked upstairs, went up the stairs, and found Fu's mother in a room.
The window next to Fu's mother's bed was open. She might have caught a cold and that was why she was coughing.
"Aunt, are you okay?" Yan Mi knocked on the door and asked loudly.
"Why are you here?" Mother Fu frowned, as if she didn't want to see Yan Mi here.
"My uncle called me. Why didn't you tell me that you were sick?" Yan Mi said a little worriedly.
Mother Fu's eyes narrowed, "What? Are you blaming me?"
Perhaps because she took another breath of cold air, Mrs. Fu started coughing again.
Yan Mi quickly patted her back and boiled some hot water for her. "I don't blame you. It's just that my uncle isn't with you, and he's worried about you. After all, I'm your daughter-in-law. We'd be happy if you could look for us younger generations."
Mother Fu coughed for more than a minute before she stopped, but she was still unforgiving, "How dare I let you control me."
"I didn't say I would take care of you. I just hope you can rely more on me and Fu Xiao. I've already told Fu Xiao to come over after get off work." Yan Mi saw that the hot water had boiled, so he went to pour some hot water for Fu's mother.
While Fu's mother was drinking hot water, Yan Mi went to close the window.
"Will he come?" Fu's mother didn't quite believe it.
Although Fu Xiao was defending Yan Mi, she just didn't believe that Fu Xiao would really listen to her.
"Just wait and see, he will definitely come." Yan Mi was very confident.
Fu's mother remained silent, feeling very unhappy. If Fu Xiao really came, she would be heartbroken.
My son doesn't listen to me but cares so much about an outsider.
"Aunt, have you taken your medicine? It doesn't look like a common cold to me, so you may need to pay more attention." Yan Mi asked.
Mother Fu shook her head. "No medicine. I'm in good health. I'll be fine in a few days if I take any medicine."
Yan Mi knew that the older generation all had this kind of thinking. She thought that when Fu Xiao came, she must ask him to take Fu's mother to the hospital for a check-up.
Yan Mi chatted with Fu's mother, talking about everything, and it was only then that it was time for Fu Xiao to get off work.
It took an hour for Fu Xiao to arrive.
When Mrs. Fu heard the sound of the door being pushed open downstairs, she became much more energetic.
Yan Mi helped Fu's mother go downstairs and saw Fu Xiao with snowflakes still on his shoes.
Yan Mi smiled at him, and Fu Xiao's eyes first turned to Yan Mi, and then to his mother.
"Mom." Fu Xiao shouted.
"Hey, how did Xiaoxiao get here? Should we hurry up? He's covered in snow." Mother Fu asked and nagged in front of Fu Xiao like an ordinary mother.
"It's okay, are you sick?" Fu Xiao shook his head and then asked.
Mother Fu waved her hands with a smile on her face, "It's nothing, just a common cold. I'm sorry to have alarmed you all."
"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Fu Xiao avoided Fu's mother and walked to Yan Mi's side. "It's probably impossible to leave now. The snow is getting heavier outside. It's very dangerous to go back now."
Upon hearing this, Yan Mi glanced out the window. Snow was falling heavily and there was only a hint of light in the sky.
She didn't say anything, but pulled Fu Xiao back to Fu's mother and said, "You see, Fu Xiao still cares about you."
Yan Mi asked Fu Xiao to say something, but Fu Xiao moved his lips, not knowing what to ask.
The smile on Fu's mother's face froze. "It's great that Xiaoxiao is here. If you can't leave tonight, just stay here."
"Well, thank you, auntie."
The house wasn't cold, so the family sat down in the living room. Yan Mi suddenly remembered that everyone might not have eaten yet, so he took the initiative to say, "Do you have any ingredients at home? Let me cook."
Fu Xiao disagreed, and Fu's mother was a little surprised.
Yan Mi pushed away Fu Xiao's hand, "I grew up in the countryside, so cooking is very common. If it were because of Fu Xiao, I would definitely cook for myself these years, but I don't know if my cooking skills have become rusty."
She explained to them, and then she glanced at Fu Xiao, warning him with her eyes.
Fu Xiao withdrew his hand and sat in his seat.
After Yan Mi went to the kitchen, no one livened up the atmosphere and the living room fell into a strange silence.
Until Yan Mi called Fu Xiao over, Fu Xiao and his mother still hadn't said a word.
She called Fu Xiao to the kitchen and said, "You seem embarrassed in the living room. Come and help me cook."
Fu Xiao nodded.
He really had nothing to say to his parents.
Fu Xiao has been married to Yan Mi for several years. He never paid attention to Yan Mi before, but now he finds that she is very skilled in cooking.
Everything went so smoothly and naturally, and soon the dishes were magically prepared.
"Can you cook?" Fu Xiao asked.
Yan Mi smiled, "You'll know if you try it. I guarantee you'll be surprised."
Fu Xiao was ordered to take the food to the dining room, while Yan Mi went to call Fu's mother to come over for dinner.
Mother Fu sat in the chair and looked at the rich dishes in front of her. She was dazed for a moment. She always thought that it was good enough for Yan Mi to make three dishes and a soup.
However, what was placed in front of her now was five dishes and a soup, which looked quite good.
"I originally wanted to make bone soup for you, but I ran out of time, so I just cooked something casually." Yan Mi poured a bowl of soup for Fu's mother. "I saw that there were still a lot of medicinal herbs in the cabinet, so I made some according to your needs. The soup will definitely taste good."
This is thanks to the previous world, she learned a lot.
Mother Fu nodded, and she felt like drooling at the aroma of the food.
Yan Mi also served soup to Fu Xiao, "Hubby, drink it too, it can prevent colds."
Fu Xiao nodded and said thank you.
Yan Mi and Fu Xiao started to pick up the dishes only after Fu's mother started eating.
Fu Xiao tasted it and was stunned. He turned to look at Yan Mi, seeming to find it incredible.
"It's delicious." Fu Xiao said.
"As long as it tastes good, you and your aunt should eat more."
It snowed heavily today, and the chef and part-time worker we hired were unable to come to work. Everyone was starving, and there was no chatter at the dinner table.
The three of them ate all the five dishes and one soup, leaving nothing behind and even finishing all the soup.
After the meal, Yan Mi took Fu Xiao to clean up the dishes. Fu's mother also wanted to clean up, but was rejected.
She watched Fu Xiao being taken by Yan Mi to clean the table, and was in a trance for a moment.
When did this happen? It was probably when Fu Xiao was very young. He had just come home from school and said he wanted to clean up the dishes himself, so he followed the aunts to help him. As a result, he was clumsy and dropped all the dishes.
Thinking about it now, those are still a few precious memories.
Mother Fu shook her head, her nose feeling a little sore. She felt that she was too sentimental today.
By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already late at night.
Yan Mi and Fu Xiao were arranged to live in the guest bedroom, which was next to Fu's mother's room, so it was easier to take care of them.
"Why did you agree to come here? I remember you said you didn't like them." Fu Xiao asked Yan Mi after returning to the room.
"It's not that I don't like them. When did I ever say that?" Yan Mi thought about it carefully and realized that she had indeed never said such a thing.
"You said my parents don't like you." In Fu Xiao's opinion, this sentence also meant that she didn't like his parents.
Yan Mi laughed, "You analyzed it wrongly. I said that because I felt wronged. You can't equate the two things. But I don't think Auntie has a common cold. She still needs to go to the hospital for a checkup. Tell her tomorrow."
"Okay." Fu Xiao agreed.
"You came here so late today. I was worried that something might happen to you on the way." Yan Mi went to take a look and the wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger.
"I pay attention." Fu Xiao cherishes his life, so he would say it with certainty.
So when he saw Yan Mi for the first time, he said he could never go back.
"You really can't hear any good words." Yan Mi smiled and hugged Fu Xiao, "But who made me like you so much?"
Fu Xiao was moved by what he said, and a kind of speechless emotion surged in his heart. He also hugged Yan Mi and said, "Thank you."
"You should say that I like you too. Or you can just say I love you and let me hear it?" Yan Mi teased him.
"Yeah, I love you." Fu Xiao bit Yan Mi's ear and whispered.
The three light words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, penetrating into Yan Mi's heart and stirring up thousands of waves. "I love you too, Fu Xiao. I really love you so much."
Yan Mi pulled Fu Xiao's hand to her chest and said, "It's beating for you. It's beating so fast because of you."
Fu Xiao was very pleased. He felt it. He saw the deep love in Yan Mi's eyes, and he was willing to accept it. "Thank you."
Thank you she will love him.
Thank her for bringing him a different kind of touching feeling.
Thank her for turning over a new leaf, and his heart can only hold her.
