On Saturday, Xu Yizhang and Chu Huixin had dinner and brought back a box of bird's nest, which Chu Huixin entrusted someone to buy in Hong Kong City for 3,999 yuan.
After paying this money to Chu Huixin, Xu Yizhang's heart was bleeding. She counted the whole box of bird's nest, a total of 18 yuan, and eating 1 yuan a day would cost 222 yuan a day, which is too expensive!
She thought to herself, it's really expensive to raise a child. In the past, Chu Huixin bought the supplements. She didn't know that the supplements were so expensive.
When she came back this time, Chu Huixin said, "Girl, you seem to have gained weight recently."
"Really?" Xu Yizhang touched his face, "Maybe it's because he ate well and slept well recently."
Chu Huixin smiled and asked, "Do you eat takeaway? Or cook for yourself?"
Xu Yizhang thumped in his heart. Could it be that Han Shen revealed something to his parents
She hesitated and said, "Of course I cooked it myself."
"Did you cook it yourself?" Chu Huixin had a meaningful expression, "I remember, you don't seem to know how to cook, did Ah Shen cook it?"
Xu Yizhang's smile was dry, "Yes..."
It was cooked by Han Shen's aunt, and theoretically it is also his credit.
Chu Huixin smiled like a flower, "Ah Shen, you are really kind to you. You are so busy with work and cook for you every day. You have a really good life, but why don't you come here every time?" Did you come together? Why don't you come together?"
"We two don't have the same time, sometimes he is busy, sometimes I am busy, whoever has time can come and see you two elders."
"That's right." The current state of the two of them is like a daughter who occasionally comes back to visit after she gets married. Chu Hui is very satisfied with this life state. Her son-in-law and daughter make her proud. She propped her chin and said, "But don't delay your life when you are busy. It's a big deal, look at you, you are living together now, girl, when do you think, call Ah Shen over, your father and I will talk to him about your marriage..."
"..." Xu Yizhang stopped talking when he heard the words, and lowered his head to drink the soup in silence.
But fortunately, Chu Hui didn't lose her temper this time. Maybe it was because she felt that they had a good relationship, or maybe it was because she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she didn't want to be harsh on her, so she didn't push her too hard. Push the foot bucket over to show her, "Girl, come and help mom see, how do you use this foot bath?"
Xu Yizhang put down the soup bowl, glanced at the foot bath bucket, and said with a smile, "I bought it new? How much?"
"It seems to be six or seven hundred." Chu Huixin put on her reading glasses, "Do you want to soak this bucket in hot water or cold water?"
"It's all fine." Xu Yizhang flipped through the manual, "It will automatically heat up when it's cold, and it will cool down when it's hot. When the temperature is selected, it will automatically check and balance the temperature."
Chu Hui nodded heartily.
Xu Yizhang looked at the instruction manual and continued: "This bucket has a remote control, just press this button every time you want to soak."
Elderly people are unfamiliar with electronic products. Xu Yizhang told her while teaching her, "Since you bought it back, remember to soak your feet every day. Soaking your feet is good, and it can keep you healthy, you know?"
Chu Huixin wore reading glasses and nodded obediently like a child. When the elderly reach a certain level, they will become like children and rely on children instead.
Xu Yizhang inexplicably felt a little sad, but fortunately God gave her a new life so that she could come back and be filial to her parents.
"Next time you can buy some medicine packs and come back to soak your feet... But why did you think of buying a foot bath?" In Xu Yizhang's eyes, Chu Huixin is very picky. Necessary consumption is very picky, especially after retirement, the two elders live on their pensions, and their consumption concepts are much more conservative than before.
Chu Huixin glanced at her and smiled happily, "Ah Shen bought it for me."
Xu Yizhang: "..."
"He came over the other day and saw me watching a health care program. Your dad told me to buy a magical foot soaking bucket that was advertised on TV... Ah Shen told us that these sales programs on TV are all fake, so let's not call Go to make a reservation and say that he will buy it for us."
"... He bought it for you?"
"Yes, he said he would. If your father wants to pay him back, he will never accept it."
Xu Yizhang pursed his lips, and said: "Those are indeed deceiving, Mom, if you usually see those, don't buy them, you can call me and ask me."
The elderly are indeed more likely to be deceived. It may be due to their lack of awareness of fraud. She and Yiyan are not at home, so no one can remind their parents. Xu Yizhang thought about it and said: "Mom, you and Dad usually use For mobile payment, don’t put too much money in it, it’s better to take an extra card and put a few thousand dollars in it.”
"Ah Shen told your dad and me about this, and he has already bound us." Chu Huixin showed her her mobile phone.
"..." Xu Yizhang checked silently, seeing that Han Shen had already helped his parents, he sighed inwardly.
Lawyers are indeed more defensive.
She also did all the work that should be done by her children.
Xu Yizhang felt a little guilty and depressed.

arrive home.
Han Shen was packing things in her room.
She froze, what are you doing? Quickly put down the bird's nest and went into the room to find him.
Han Shen lay on the ground, wondering what he had put under her bed.
Xu Yizhang went over, "What are you doing?"
Han Shen looked back at her, holding a screwdriver in his hand, his face was calm and indifferent, "Installing a sensor light?"
"What?" She looked down.
Han Shen pulled the plug out from under the bed and plugged it into the socket next to it.
"Come here." He called her.
As soon as Xu Yizhang approached, the sensor light under the bed turned on, and she froze for a while.
"This way it will be easier for you to go to the toilet at night."
Xu Yizhang didn't speak, he didn't know what his expression was, and glanced at the screwdriver in his hand, and there was a box next to it, which should be the shell of the induction lamp.
She was at a loss for a moment.
She knew why Han Shen was so considerate to her.
There is a thought in my heart that is about to break through the suppression.
But she didn't want to face it.
It took her a long, long time to put everything away in such a painful time, and put it on the shelf, never wanting to touch it again.
She had already decided that she would never touch love in this life. There are so many things worth pursuing in life, why bother to be greedy for things that will disappear sooner or later.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and said, "Did you buy a foot bath for my mother?"
He said "um", "Is she still used to it?"
"It's okay." Xu Yizhang took out his mobile phone, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Han Shen glanced at her, focusing on her fair face.
"Six hundred? Or seven hundred?"
Han Shen felt that her words were harsh. The harshness was not because of the harsh words, but the clear boundaries and alienation in her tone.
Han Shen looked at her and said condescendingly, "The things I bought for Aunt Chu are my own wishes, so you don't need to return them to me."
"She's my mother."
"She is my child's grandmother." Han Shen's words made her speechless, "In the future, when the child is born, I will definitely have to explain to her old man. I am the child's father, and I should honor my grandmother for the child. Besides, Aunt Chu has been treating me well."
Xu Yizhang didn't know what to say, kept silent, put away his phone, "Then I will thank you for the child."
"You don't need to replace me." Han Shen gave her a cold look, "I am the child's father."
After speaking, he opened the door and went out.
Visibly displeased.
Xu Yizhang looked at the figure who left angrily, and stood quietly for a while.

After that night, Han Shen was on a business trip.
She was the only one left in the big house. Of course, Auntie Zhou, the hourly worker, reported in on time. Looking at the box of bird's nest she bought, "Miss Xu, you bought it too?"
"Also?" Xu Yizhang looked at her suspiciously.
Aunt Zhou took out the supplements that Han Shen bought from the cabinet. There were boxes of all kinds of supplements. "Mr. Han also ordered a lot, and they just arrived by air yesterday."
Xu Yizhang's heart fluttered slightly.
With money, he is really good to his family, to his children, to his grandparents, and of course to her...
After the part-time worker returned, there was no one at home. Xu Yizhang habitually read books in the room, and felt a little bit bored, so he went out to the living room for a walk.
The door of Han Shen's room was closed and the lights were not turned on.
He usually works with the door open, and as soon as Xu Yizhang comes out, he will see a piece of light in the aisle, from the lamp in his room.
She was silent for a moment.
the phone is ringing.
She answered the phone call from her teacher, Professor Chen.
"Yizhang, are you resting?"
"Not yet." Xu Yizhang glanced at the time and walked to the French window, "Teacher, what do you want me for?"
