the next day.
When Tian Mi got up, Lou Luhui had already gone out.
He said last night that he would be very busy recently.
Knowing what her husband was busy with, Tian Mi was worried about his safety, but she also understood that there would be no peace and security until the cancer in the dark was eradicated.
"Tiantian, today we have your favorite tofu pudding. Huihui bought it early in the morning." In the living room downstairs, Zhong Yuxiu, who was holding her child and chatting with neighbors, heard the noise and subconsciously turned around to look over.
Seeing that it was his daughter-in-law, he reminded her with a smile.
I didn't expect there would be so many people at home. Tian Mi glanced at the wall clock. It was only half past six, not too late.
She did not rush to the kitchen, but came to the living room first and greeted the aunts.
"Mom, where is Xinxin?" After chatting with everyone for a while, Tian Mi picked up her daughter who rushed over to her, looked around, and then she realized that her third sister was not there.
Xinxin is not like her. She wakes up in the morning when the wake-up call is sounded, and even when she is resting, she follows this schedule.
"In the room, Lin Kun is giving her a lesson."
As expected, she is the third sister. When Tian Mi was admiring her self-discipline and diligence, a gentle female voice came to her ears: "Yu Xiu? Comrade Xiao Wang is dating your daughter-in-law's third sister? The two are quite compatible."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others looked over curiously.
Everyone came here early today because they heard from the men in the family what happened yesterday and came to comfort them.
Of course, some individuals also have a gossipy mind.
They all lived in the same family quarters, and Wang Linkun and Tian Xin were noticed by everyone on the day they first arrived.
Later, when he inquired around, he learned the specific circumstances of the two people, and inevitably he became interested.
People in their fifties and sixties are basically retired and have nothing to do at home, so many of them like to act as matchmakers.
At that time, several people wanted to introduce someone to Tian Xin.
But Zhong Yuxiu flatly refused.
In her opinion, none of the gay men introduced by those people were acceptable.
Zhong Yuxiu even got angry several times because of this incident.
She just couldn't figure it out. If she sincerely wanted to introduce someone to someone, shouldn't she at least consider whether the two parties are suitable for each other before making a move
There is actually someone who is a dozen years older than Xinxin and is in his second marriage with three children.
How can you open your mouth like that
If Zhong Yuxiu hadn't been concerned about her neighbors, she would have cursed at that time.
Of course, even if she didn't curse, her face looked very unhappy.
They were not stupid people. Seeing how she defended her daughter-in-law's sister, no one mentioned it again.
The person who spoke now was Chief of Staff Zeng's wife Wang Fang, who also got along well with Zhong Yuxiu.
Although Zhong Yuxiu was optimistic about the two children, she would only tease them in front of her family. In front of outsiders, she still had to protect the reputation of the little girl, so she glared at her friend and said, "What are you talking about? They are all relatives. Xinxin is going to take the high school diploma exam, and the other children take turns to teach her every day. Isn't my family Huihui out on business? Look, Linkun's child just took over."
Wang Fang was surprised: "Oh! I remember you said before that the girl is still studying medicine? Learning so many things? That's really hard work, unlike me marrying those lazy guys."
I don’t know how, but soon the topic turned to complaining about their own unlucky children.
Seeing this, Tian Mi shook her head in amusement, handed her clingy daughter to her mother-in-law, and turned to go to the kitchen to get breakfast.
I didn't want to pass by my third sister's room and found that her door was open.
Obviously, she heard everything that was said just now.
But Xinxin was still writing furiously, and there was no sign of discomfort on her face. On the contrary, Wang Linkun still had red spots of discomfort on his ears.
Seeing all the changes in the two people, Tian Mi went to the kitchen without stopping, but she felt something was wrong.
Before, she thought that the little girl was not smart enough, so she always wanted to laugh at Wang Linkun.
But after it happened several times, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Even if Xinxin is still stupid, she is 19 years old after all, and there are several girls of marriageable age where she works.
Girls of this age will inevitably yearn for their other half. Even if she no longer has the idea of falling in love, she will still take a second look at handsome guys.
By the way, when she was in elementary school, she already knew that she liked Tuxedo Mask - Chiba Mamoru.
So, why is her Xinxin so pure and simple
I was grumbling in my heart that even my favorite tofu pudding didn't taste as good after I put it in my mouth.
Tian Mi finished her breakfast absentmindedly and did not go upstairs. Instead, she played with the children in the living room and listened to the gossips of the aunts.
But his eyes would occasionally glance towards the third sister's room.
About an hour later, when she was unable to sit still due to all kinds of fantasies, Wang Linkun finally came out of the room.
Seeing this, Tian Mi immediately patted the children's heads and let them play by themselves, then got up and walked into the third sister's room.
"Second sister?" Tian Xin looked up from her homework, thinking that something happened to her sister.
Tian Mi closed the door and sat on a stool beside him before speaking: "Xinxin, I want to ask you something."
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you, did you hear the jokes the aunts made on you and Wang Linkun just now?"
Tian Xin blinked: "When?"
Tian Mi: "They asked if you and Wang Linkun were dating. They said you two were a good match."
"Oh I heard that."
So, is this calm because he doesn't like it, or he hasn't gotten the hang of it, or is there some other reason
Tian Mi didn't think that her third sister had to follow certain rules to be a normal girl.
I suddenly realized that a girl of this age is very sensitive. Should I take more care of her
But I was also confused at that time and had no idea how to guide teenagers? !
Thinking of this, Tian Mi felt guilty again, thinking that she was not doing a good enough job as a sister. She cleared her throat and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Are you embarrassed when the aunts joke like that?"
Although she didn't understand why her second sister asked this and her attitude was strange, Tian Xin still shook her head honestly: "Why should I be shy? It's impossible for me and Deputy Head Wang to be together. If it's impossible, why should I be shy?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said. Tian Mi was so choked that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So, Xinxin doesn’t not understand, but she just doesn’t like someone like Wang Linkun
Outside the house, Wang Linkun, who had cut a plate of fruit for the little girl, did not expect to hear these words that sounded like a death sentence. He stood at the door in a daze, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Inside the house, the two sisters didn't notice the man outside the door at all. They were chatting so much that Tian Mi suddenly became curious about what kind of boys the third sister liked.
I remember she had said before that she liked to smile: "How can you be so sure that you and Wang Linkun can't be together? You don't like his type? Then what type do you like?"
Hearing this, Wang Linkun held his breath unconsciously again.
Tian Xin shook her head: "It's not a question of like or not, I don't even think about it that way. He is so good, how could he be interested in me?"
Be it Wang Linkun outside the door or Tian Mi inside the door, neither of them expected to hear such an answer, and they were both stunned.
"What are you talking about? What are your qualifications? My sister has a good job, is beautiful, and has a great personality. What's wrong with your qualifications? What's wrong with them? When you go to college in the future, what is there to be interested in or not? It's only about whether it's suitable or not, understand?" At the end, Tian Mi frowned.
She was angry at her sister's self-deprecation, but she was even more angry at her own negligence. She had not noticed at all that Xinxin was so self-deprecating.
As for the reasons for inferiority complex, it is not difficult to guess that 99 percent of it is caused by the original family.
Xinxin has been like an invisible person since she was a child and has never been taken seriously, so she tries hard to be well-behaved. However, because she is too well-behaved and hardworking, she becomes even more inconspicuous, like a vicious circle.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi frowned even deeper.
No, this matter cannot be neglected. Not only should she encourage and affirm the little girl more in the future, but the rest of the family members must do the same.
You have to cultivate her self-confidence.
"Sister, you are so shameless. How can you praise your own people like that?" Tian Xin didn't know what her sister was thinking. Her face turned red from being praised and she smiled shyly.
Tian Mi was helpless: "I am serious. I am asking you, do you want to get a university recommendation?"
"But I haven't started yet? What if the competition is too strong and I don't get a turn?"
Looking at how down-to-earth she is, Tian Mi was even more speechless. She didn't dare to say anything else, but with Third Sister's enthusiasm for learning, how many people could surpass her
Besides, even if we take a step back, it is now 1974, and the college entrance examination will be resumed in another 3 years. If you can't get in through internal recommendations, can't you take the exam yourself
But she couldn't say this, so she could only think of another way to boost her sister's self-confidence: "You are working so hard now, it is impossible for you not to succeed, and there is more..."
Wang Linkun outside the door did not continue to listen to the rest of the conversation.
He took the fruit back to the kitchen, turned around and went to his room to think seriously.
Hearing the little girl's inner thoughts, my mood was full of ups and downs.
But it was also an unexpected surprise to know the little girl's true thoughts.
He and her sister have the same opinion. In Wang Linkun's heart, the little girl is the best.
Maybe he should try a different approach.
For example, after sending the person to the island, find an opportunity to express his feelings to her in an environment that she is familiar with.
Regardless of success or failure, at least Tian Xin can face up to his feelings.
But, with plans, there are always unexpected things.
Just then, early the next morning, when Tian Mi and her mother-in-law were helping her third sister pack her luggage, the phone at home rang.
Because he had to send Tian Xin and the other two to the train station at noon, Lou Luhui did not go out today. He was playing games with the twins in the living room.
When he heard the phone ringing, he leaned over and answered it.
Before he could open his mouth, Pearl, who was very interested in the phone call, came over and called out in a baby voice, "Hello? Who is it? I'm Pearl!"
Lou Luhui tried to hold back his laughter, pulled the little girl away, and then said "Hello!" into the receiver.
But when he heard the meaning of the person on the other end of the phone, the smile on his face disappeared completely: "Okay, sister, don't worry, I'll call Tiantian to answer the phone."
Tian Mi, who heard her husband's voice, had already walked over. She reached out to answer the receiver and asked subconsciously, "Sister? Or Sister Nan? What happened?" Her expression was so serious.
Lou Luhui hugged his daughter who wanted to throw herself into his wife's arms, and said in a low voice: "My eldest sister called and said that your grandparents passed away."
How could this be? Tian Mi couldn't help but widen her eyes. In her memory, her grandparents were in very good health. Not to mention that they were only seventy years old now, they could live another ten years.
But what if it’s an accident
Thinking of this, Tian Mi frowned again and put the receiver to his ear.
