When Yang Xiaoxi heard what her mother said, she asked in surprise, "Mom, Ruoruo and I are good friends, so of course we look alike."
Li Feier was amused by her daughter again. She had to say that her daughter's words were really interesting.
Li Feier was not in a good mood because she was tired from running around today and she was thinking about going home to face her parents-in-law.
But now, hearing her daughter's words, her mood suddenly became much better.
In Li Feier's view, perhaps her parents-in-law are unhappy because she doesn't want to have any more children, but she has a husband who supports her at home and a lovely daughter, so she is still very happy.
Thinking of this, Li Feier couldn't help humming a song in the back row.
Hearing her mother singing in the back row, Yang Xiaoxi quickly twisted her body and looked back at her mother, wanting to sing with her: "Mom, take Xixi with you to sing, sing together."
Li Feier smiled and reached out her hand, held her daughter's hand, and then hummed with her daughter.
Yang Zhiyi, who was driving, heard his wife and daughter singing and felt in a good mood.
When he heard the mother and daughter singing the chorus, he couldn't help but sing along loudly for a few lines.
As a result, because of the off-tune singing, his daughter despised him: "Daddy, don't sing. Daddy, you are so stupid. You sang it wrong. You led Mommy and Xixi the wrong way. You are not allowed to sing. You need to drive carefully."
Yang Zhiyi was at a loss for words after hearing what his daughter said, and he pretended to be aggrieved and argued with her.
"You are discriminating. Everyone has the right to sing. Why don't you let me sing?"
Li Feier was amused by her husband and couldn't stop laughing. She reached out and patted the back of her husband's chair: "Hahaha, stop singing. Singing is killing you, you know that?"
Yang Zhiyi curled his lips: "Humph, if you don't want to sing, then don't sing. You don't know how to appreciate it."
Seeing his father's expression, Yang Xiaoxi also became happy.
Then the family of three drove all the way back to their community listening to Li Feier's singing.
While going upstairs, the mother and daughter continued singing.
Yang Zhiyi watched the mother and daughter singing and really felt that such a family was very happy. This kind of life was what he longed for and what he wanted to cherish with all his heart.
"I asked Yan Zi why you came
Swallow said... "
The mother and daughter had already arrived at the door. After Li Feier sang the first few lines, she sang the last line with her daughter at the door: "The spring here is the most beautiful."
Almost as the song ended, the door of the house was opened from the inside.
Seeing the door opened from the inside, Yang Xiaoxi was startled and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Mom and Dad, there are bad guys in our house."
My grandparents heard singing outside the door, so they opened the door and came out to see what was going on.
I didn't expect that when I opened the door, I would hear my little granddaughter say this.
Grandma suddenly became unhappy and said, "What? Have grandpa and grandma become bad people?"
As soon as Yang Xiaoxi heard her grandmother's words, the little girl immediately stopped talking. She held her mother's hand with her little hand, stood beside her mother, and was even afraid to take a step forward.
Yang Zhiyi quickly said to his mother, "Mom, Xixi wasn't talking about you and Dad. She saw the door open from the inside and thought that someone bad had entered our house. She wasn't talking about you and Dad. Don't worry. In fact, Xixi always talks about Grandpa and Grandma."
At this point, he turned around and called his daughter over: "Xixi, come quickly, don't you miss your grandparents? Look, your grandparents are here to see you."
Yang Xiaoxi was not too reserved. With her mother's encouragement, she walked up to her grandparents and said, "Hello, grandma. Hello, grandpa. Xixi welcomes grandpa and grandma to our home."
Grandpa was still very happy to hear what his granddaughter said, but grandma's face didn't look much better.
Seeing that his mother's face was not good, Yang Zhiyi quickly said to his daughter: "Xixi, don't you have gifts for grandpa and grandma? Let's take them out quickly."
Yang Xiaoxi also quickly turned around, took the lunch box from her mother's hand, and handed it to her grandparents.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is a dish made by Daddy Feng. It's delicious. Daddy Feng asked me to bring it back for Grandpa and Grandma to try."
When grandpa saw it, he liked it even more and reached out to take it.
But grandma stopped him: "What Daddy Feng? When did Xixi have a Daddy Feng?"
While questioning, the old lady looked directly at her daughter-in-law.
That look conveyed a kind of distrust and doubt towards the daughter-in-law.
Li Feier felt very uncomfortable facing such questioning looks, and even a little bit annoyed. She felt that they were clearly suspecting that she had done something wrong to her husband.
Seeing this, Yang Zhiyi quickly explained: "Mom, Dad, don't get me wrong. Xixi's father Feng is the father of her best friend in kindergarten. The three little girls are good friends and like Feng Ruoruo's father very much, so they recognized him as their godfather and called him Father Feng."
After hearing the explanation, grandma was still not very happy: "How can you let Xixi recognize someone as her godfather casually? And she keeps calling him Daddy Feng. It's really more intimate than calling you Daddy."
Yang Zhiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, you really think too much. Children are just happy."
Yang Zhiyi's father, "Yang Huaicheng", said, "Alright, alright, what's the point of standing at the door? Come inside quickly. Grandma has made a lot of delicious food for Xixi. Let your granddaughter come in and eat."
Yang Zhiyi's mother "Wenhong" had no choice but to say: "Then let's go in and eat first."
In this way, Yang Xiaoxi finally followed her parents into the house.
Li Feier was very dissatisfied at this time, because she was clearly going back to her own home, but she was harassed at the door, and finally when she entered the house, it was like she was being given alms by her mother-in-law.
However, seeing that her husband and daughter were there, Li Feier knew that she had to be patient.
Yang Huaicheng also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he and his son worked together to liven up the atmosphere.
"Come, come, Xixi, come over here and take a look. Grandma has made a lot of delicious food for you."
Although Yang Xiaoxi was still a child, he was very sensitive and felt that his grandmother seemed unhappy with him and did not want him to call her "Dad Feng".
When the little girl looks at her grandmother, she begins to feel a little afraid of her grandmother's eyes.
So when the little girl heard her grandfather calling her, she didn't move immediately, but looked at her parents instead.
Yang Zhiyi was also somewhat helpless. He did not expect that his parents would give his wife and daughter the cold shoulder when they came. Especially his mother's attitude, which made it difficult for him to say anything or not.
Seeing that his daughter was obviously frightened, he had no choice but to go forward and take her to the table: "Let's sit down and see what delicious dishes grandma has prepared. Didn't Xixi like grandma's dishes the most? Xixi always said that dad's cooking is not delicious, but grandma's cooking is delicious."
Li Feier didn't say much. She took the initiative to go to the kitchen to take out the dishes and chopsticks, and helped to put them in place.
"Mom and Dad, you guys should sit down too. You guys rushed over this time and I asked you to cook dinner for us. It's really hard for you. Please sit down quickly. Let Zhiyi and I take care of Xixi."
Yang Huaicheng also sat down: "Haha, it's okay, we came here just to see you and Xixi, so cooking for Xixi is the primary purpose of grandma's visit this time, to let our little granddaughter have a good meal, Xixi, come and try it."
During this period of time, Yang Xiaoxi has been eating the dishes cooked by Feng's father at Su Ji. Naturally, the dishes cooked by her grandmother are not as good as those cooked by Feng's father.
Not to mention the taste, just the appearance is far worse than what Feng's father makes.
So the little girl sat down and looked for a long time but actually had no appetite.
When Yang Zhiyi saw his daughter's expression, he also thought of the problem. He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, you see, I forgot to wash your hands before eating. Come on, Dad will take you to wash your hands."
Yang Xiaoxi obediently got up and followed his father to the bathroom to wash his hands.
While washing hands in the bathroom, Yang Zhiyi hugged his daughter and whispered, "Xixi, although grandma's cooking may not be as good as Daddy Feng's, grandma came all the way here to cook for Xixi. Xixi should also thank grandma, and Xixi should eat it carefully and say that grandma's cooking is delicious, okay?"
Yang Xiaoxi put her little mouth close to her father's ear and said with a little grievance: "Dad, Xixi thinks grandma doesn't like Xixi."
Yang Zhiyi quickly comforted his daughter: "No way, grandpa and grandma both like Xixi."
Yang Xiaoxi added: "But grandma thinks Xixi is very fierce, Xixi is afraid of grandma, and grandma doesn't allow Xixi to call Feng Daddy."
It has to be said that Yang Zhiyi felt a little helpless after hearing his daughter's words.
Originally, Yang Zhiyi thought that after moving out for such a long time, as the saying goes, "the closer you are, the more you become friends", the relationship between them and his parents should have eased.
But judging from the situation today, it seems that their parents are still dissatisfied with them, especially their mother.
Yang Zhiyi naturally knew the real reason behind this dissatisfaction.
To put it bluntly, my mother still wants to have a grandson.
This is not to say that Yang Zhiyi's mother Wenhong favors boys over girls, but because there is such a trend among the neighbors in the suburbs where his parents live.
When neighbors get together, they always like to chat about other people's daily lives.
Especially they like to compare with each other, such as who married what kind of daughter-in-law? Who found what kind of son-in-law
Then they start comparing with each other, like whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson.
In such an atmosphere, although Wenhong herself is not patriarchal, she still cares about her reputation when chatting with neighbors.
As a result, every time the topic of grandchildren came up, Wenhong found herself embarrassed among the old ladies in the neighborhood because her son had a granddaughter. Naturally, she brought this unhappiness home.
When Yang Zhiyi lived at home, he often quarreled with his mother about this matter.
Later, as my daughter grew up, she gradually became more sensible.
In order to prevent their daughter from being affected, Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier moved out and moved to their current residence which is closer to the TV station where Li Feier works.
Of course, in order to let his daughter go to school, Yang Zhiyi bought another house in the community east of the old street.
When our daughter was preparing to go to school, the whole family moved there.
As for the current house, Li Feier has also agreed with her colleagues at the TV station to sell it to her colleagues when the time comes.
Just moving out made the parents even more dissatisfied with Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier's unwillingness to have another child, especially since Yang Zhiyi's mother had urged them to do so many times.
When his parents came over today, Yang Zhiyi knew that they would definitely bring up this matter again.
Although he was helpless, he had no way to deal with it.
So now Yang Zhiyi can only hope that his daughter can please her grandparents and make them happy, so that her parents won't push her too much about having children.
Seeing that his daughter didn't quite understand, Yang Zhiyi could only seriously comfort her.
"Xixi, be good. Didn't we agree that we should say nice things to grandpa and grandma and make them happy? So Xixi must eat the food grandma cooks and say it's delicious, okay?"
Then he added: "Besides, good children can't be picky about food. Don't you also eat the kindergarten lunch in kindergarten?"
The little girl still felt that the father's next sentence made sense.
Yang Xiaoxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, then Xixi will finish eating it carefully and tell grandma that it's delicious."
Yang Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, Xixi is really good. After dinner, we will eat Father Feng's snacks, okay?"
Hearing that she was going to have snacks, the little girl was naturally very happy and nodded with a smile: "Okay."
After talking to his daughter, Yang Zhiyi quickly washed her hands.
When the father and daughter returned to the dining table, they could clearly see that the atmosphere between the mother and the grandparents was very awkward, and both sides were even unwilling to talk to each other.
This situation really made Yang Zhiyi very distressed.
However, Yang Zhiyi could only put it aside temporarily, and pulled his daughter to sit down and said, "We have come back from washing our hands, Lai Xixi, you sit next to grandma, okay?"
Yang Xiaoxi wanted to sit with her mother, but when she saw her father winking at her, the little girl obediently sat next to her grandmother.
Yang Zhiyi sat down next to his daughter, with his wife on the other side, thus avoiding his wife and mother from sitting next to each other.
Everyone sat down and the grandfather quickly picked up some food for his granddaughter.
"Come on, Xixi, hurry up and try grandma's dish. This is what grandma learned specially. And grandma and grandpa bought shrimps specially for you. Come and try it."
Yang Xiaoxi asked Grandpa to put it in a small bowl and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa was very happy: "You're welcome, eat quickly."
Yang Xiaoxi scooped up the shrimp with a spoon and put it into her mouth to eat.
Although Wen Hong is not as good a chef as Feng Yifan, she has been cooking for decades after all, so her skills are still impeccable.
So when Yang Xiaoxi took a bite of the shrimp, the taste was still acceptable to her.
Yang Xiaoxi ate it quickly and said to her grandmother with a smile: "Grandma's food is delicious, better than dad's."
Wen Hong finally smiled after receiving praise from her granddaughter: "Xixi likes it, so eat more. There are other dishes here, which are also specially made by grandma for Xixi."
Yang Zhiyi was a little nervous during this dinner, but the final result was relatively satisfactory.
Most of the dishes were eaten, and Yang Xiaoxi ate them with gusto, always smiling and praising her grandmother's cooking for being delicious.
After dinner, Li Feier took the initiative to wash the dishes. Yang Zhiyi asked his daughter to accompany her grandparents, and he took the opportunity to go into the kitchen to comfort his wife.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry that you were unhappy when my parents came here today."
While washing the dishes, Li Feier whispered, "It doesn't matter, as long as Xixi is happy."
Hearing his daughter's laughter coming from the living room outside, Yang Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's OK. Xixi and her grandparents get along well. I was really a little worried."
Li Feier couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her husband's expression: "It's all my fault. How about I take a break next year?"
Yang Zhiyi understood what his wife meant and quickly said, "No, we are a good family of three now."
Li Feier was deeply moved by her husband's words.
