The fourth floor of the mall.
In the restaurant, Ruan Yue was eating with her head down, when she heard Ruan Chengyi next to her smile and say to Zhao Bingzhi, "Here, it's ready."
Looking down at the white and tender crab meat on the dinner plate, Zhao Bingzhi didn't raise his head, "Thank you."
It's a reasonable person...
Ruan Chengyi was really relieved, and didn't care that she didn't pick up the crab meat to eat. He smiled and said, "The National Day holiday is coming soon. Is there any place you want to go? I'll let Xiao Zheng arrange the itinerary first."
"No."
Ruan Chengyi looked at her for a moment, then turned to ask Ruan Yue: "Where is Yue'er? Do you want to go somewhere? How is Japan? The temperature is quite suitable recently, neither hot nor cold. Dad will take you shopping in Tokyo and Osaka. There is plenty of time." If so, you can also go to Arima Hot Springs."
"I don't really want to go out."
Ruan Yue wiped her fingers with the hot towel next to her, glanced at Zhao Bingzhi, and then said softly, "Why don't we go back to our hometown and see grandparents, at this time, the imperial pomegranate garden on Beishan should be open to the public. I want to eat that pomegranate, it's very sweet."
The couple have been busy with work for many years. Compared with their grandparents in their hometown, Ruan Yue is closer to Aunt Wen who has been taking care of her. It has been so many years, and Ruan Chengyi has never heard from her that she wants to go back to her hometown on her own initiative.
He was slightly taken aback.
Zhao Bingzhi, who was sipping tea, also froze for a moment, and looked up at his daughter.
Ruan Yue smiled, and then asked Ruan Chengyi: "Is it okay?"
"Okay, it's rare that you want to go back, when the time comes..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhao Bingzhi who was next to him with a cold face, "I want to stay with my mother for a few days during the National Day, so I won't go back with you."
Because of some entanglements during confinement, the relationship between her and her in-laws has been very cold for so many years, and she bowed her head after speaking, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her.
Pursing her lips and looking at her, Ruan Yue suddenly became anxious.
This national day in the previous life was equivalent to a watershed. Before this, Ruan Chengyi and Zhao Bingzhi would occasionally quarrel because of Ding Meijuan, but after that, Ding Meijuan strongly intervened in their relationship, which became an unavoidable sticking point.
The reason lies in the grandparents.
During the National Day holiday, the family of three traveled to Japan. It was raining in the country, and her grandfather accidentally slipped and suffered a comminuted fracture of the pelvis. On the same day, Ding Meijuan and several people from Murakami were sent to Ningcheng No. 1 Hospital.
Her father changed his ticket and came back as soon as he heard the news, but it was the next morning.
In the hospital corridor, in front of the doctors and nurses, an elder in the village was not polite to his father at all. He scolded him severely, and then looked at her and his mother with displeasure on his face, like a grandfather's. The fall was caused by them traveling.
She didn't play well, and when she came back, she saw Ding Meijuan's mother and daughter guarding her grandfather's ward. Her mother was probably not happy, so she asked a few words, and asked someone to hire a nurse that day to take care of her grandfather.
But what about Ding Meijuan
She said that she is also idle when she is idle. She has known the old couple for many years and has long regarded the old couple as relatives. During her grandfather's hospitalization, she has been busy taking care of her. In the end, the hired nurse told her mother that several patients on the same floor thought Ding Meijuan was Boss Ruan's wife. He felt that this woman was a little too enthusiastic, so he reminded Zhao Bing to be on guard.
But her father couldn't understand something so obvious that even the male nurse thought it was wrong, and even had a big fight with her mother at home, accusing her mother of being a villain and having dirty thoughts, and saying that her mother was selfish and indifferent Bo doesn't know how to be filial to the elderly, even a rural woman who graduated from high school is not as good as...
The balance in his heart suddenly tilted towards Ding Meijuan.
Ding Meijuan is kind, gentle, simple, and traditional. She is filial to the elderly and pulls her daughter. She not only knows how to repay her kindness, but also can be diligent and thrifty in managing the family.
After her grandfather was discharged from the hospital, he did not return to the countryside for the time being, and recuperated in Ningcheng.
At that time, the atmosphere in the family was always freezing, and her father didn't let her grandparents live with them. Instead, she settled the grandparents after cleaning another bungalow she bought.
Ding Meijuan and Ding Chuchu have become frequent visitors to their grandparents' place since then.
Ding Meijuan accompanies her grandma to raise birds and plant flowers, Ding Chuchu chats with her grandpa and reads newspapers, and Ruan Chengyi will go there when nothing happens. Ding Meijuan and Ding Meijuan are more like a family of three.
During that period of time, she couldn't listen to class, and didn't like to stay at home after school. She often went out with Jiang Xun and the others to pass the time, her grades dropped sharply, and she fell into the ordinary class at the end of her sophomore year.
After getting the report card, she thought that she would wait for Ruan Chengyi's concern and inquiry.
But he just said with a disappointed face: "Chu Chuna's learning environment was not as good as yours since she was a child, but she has maintained the first place in the class throughout the semester. Fortunately, you fell out of the experimental class..."
She couldn't figure out why, her father, who loved her since she was a child, changed day by day, and could even say such words to her
He felt that he and Zhao Bingzhi were just arguing, which would not affect her.
For him, Ding Meijuan is his deskmate in high school, a neighbor who has been caring about his parents for many years, a poor hardworking and hard-working person, and a considerate and gentle confidant. If he hadn't driven a luxury car back to his hometown, how could Ding Meijuan have made a name for himself in the city
Just thinking about the piles and piles of the past makes people feel depressed.
Ruan Yue looked at Zhao Bingzhi, and suddenly said, "Mom, I want milk tea, can you buy it with me?"
They had almost finished their meal. Zhao Bingzhi was wiping his hands. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at her. Seeing the look of expectation in his daughter's eyes, he nodded, "Yes."
A few minutes later, the mother and daughter left the restaurant together.
On Saturday afternoon, it was time for dinner again, and there were quite a lot of people in the mall, coming and going. Looking down and seeing Zhao Bingzhi wearing stiletto shoes, Ruan Yue took her hand and said with a smile, "Mom, the National Day is only seven days away. Let's go back to our hometown for a few days and then go to see grandpa and grandma, okay?"
In order to go out for dinner, Zhao Bingzhi dressed up specially.
She wore light makeup, high heels, a white round-neck chiffon shirt with black wide-leg pants, and a silk scarf around her neck, which added a bit of gentle charm to the neat and sassy temperament.
In fact, she was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.
It's just because I had a quarrel with Ruan Chengyi earlier, and I have been brooding about it for several days, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.
Hearing Ruan Yue's words, he didn't agree.
Ruan Yue continued to work hard, "Grandpa and grandma are old and have been living in their hometown. Dad always remembers it, but because we are not close to grandpa and grandma, we seldom mention the matter of bringing them to Ningcheng. This week our class will A classmate’s grandfather, because he lived alone, died of cerebral infarction and was not found out until the next day. Mom, let’s go back together, shall we…”
Based on her deep-rooted understanding of Zhao Bingzhi, she was actually not sure that she could persuade her, her heart was in a mess, and her voice was full of pitiful flattery.
Zhao Bing knew it, but sneered in his heart.
Ruan Chengyi didn't mention bringing the old couple to Ningcheng, but someone is helping him to worry about it. What is that woman Ding Meijuan thinking, thinking she doesn't know? !
But what my daughter said makes sense.
She is a doctor. Over the years, she has seen a lot of old, weak, young and pregnant people who were admitted to the hospital because of poor family care...
Sighing, Zhao Bing knew, "Okay, let's go back with you."
"Thank you Mom."
Ruan Yue was overjoyed and said happily.
The girl in their family looks cold and indifferent, but her nature is extremely simple, just like a child, without a heart at all.
It's better not to suffer in the future...
Zhao Bingzhi was distracted for a moment, but also worried. When Ruan Yue went to the counter to buy milk tea, she stood aside, watching her daughter softly.
Lu Chen followed Xiang Qimeng and passed by, glanced casually, and saw Ruan Yue.
Seeing him stop, he also looked over at Qi Meng, and asked him with a smile: "What do you want to drink, I invite you!"
"Can you stay away from me?"
Lu Chen said angrily, and walked towards Ruan Yue.
"Pearl milk tea, medium cup, thank you."
Ruan Yue was talking, when someone patted her shoulder suddenly, she was startled, turned her head and saw Lu Chen, her face changed slightly, "Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Bingzhi.
Zhao Bingzhi also saw Lu Chen, but before he came over, he couldn't help frowning.
Afraid that Lu Chen would do something that would cause misunderstanding in front of her mother, Ruan Yue looked away and said in a low voice: "My mother is there, don't mess around."
Lu Chen was taken aback by these words, and couldn't help laughing, "I haven't said a word yet, so just tell me not to mess around, ha, what do you think I'll do?"
Ruan Yue choked, and before she could reply, a girl next to her jumped out, grabbed Lu Chen's wrist, and smiled at her, "Hi, sister."
Caught off guard, Ruan Yue looked up at the girl.
Xiang Qimeng pushed Lu Chen's arm, "Brother, I also want to drink milk tea."
elder brother
In Ruan Yue's memory, Lu Chen didn't have a younger sister.
"Medium cup of bubble tea."
The shout behind her brought her back to her thoughts, she turned her head to take the milk tea, ignored Lu Chen who was tugging at Qimeng, and walked straight away.
"Let go let go."
If it wasn't because this person was Xiang Qize's own sister, Lu Chen really wanted to kick him, damn it, destroy his innocence for the rest of his life!
Xiang Qimeng was raised to be arrogant and self-willed since he was a child. When he saw him in the afternoon, he didn't even want his own brother, and pestered him to talk. Now when he saw the girl who made his eyes shine away, he giggled and bowed down. Let go, and tentatively ask: "Then who?"
"You care?"
Lu Chen lost his temper, and his eyes fell on the backs of the mother and daughter.
"Girlfriend? Or crush?"
Blinking his eyes to Qimeng, he kept guessing. Seeing that Lu Chenshou was not answering, he sighed and said suddenly, "But no matter what, you are not suitable..."
Lu Chen looked over.
Xiang Qimeng stretched out an index finger and shook it in the air, and sighed, "Her mother's silk scarf has thousands of counters, it's from Hermes."
