Chapter 150
Her expression was distorted, she still looked like the gentle and sensible Lin Xi she once was.
Thinking of her daughter who was still in the hospital bed, Mother Lin no longer felt soft: "Lin Xi, take care of yourself."
The man from the Cheng family is not that easy to talk to. In just three years, he has been able to dominate the ever-changing market, and his methods can be imagined.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shu woke up from the heat.
She vaguely remembered what Cheng Xiyu said when she was about to fall asleep last night.
Jiang's mother has no other relatives in the world, so she doesn't plan to hold a grand funeral.
Jiang Shu decided to pick a warm spring day to return Jiang's mother's urn to the pond and bury her with Jiang's father.
Cheng Xiyu will arrange these things.
There is a renovated piece of land in the backyard of the Mid-level Villa. If you sow sunflower seeds, the entire backyard will grow next spring.
The weather is still very cold now. Cheng Xiyu saw that she was wearing thin clothes and walked over quickly: "Why are you wearing so little?"
"How do you feel now? Is there anything else uncomfortable?"
She didn't want to see Mrs. Cheng either. Maybe it was because there were still doubts about Cheng Ye's matter at the beginning, or maybe she wasn't ready.
Jiang Shu didn't hear clearly: "What?"
"…………"
She took the thick coat from Cheng Xiyu, put it on, and pointed to the bandaged area on her forehead: "It still hurts a little."
Jiang Shu said: "No."
"Yeah." Cheng Xiyu said, "Want to try it this year?"
Jiang Shu said: "Thank you." She took it and wiped her mouth gently.
Jiang Shu's mother had just passed away, so it was not suitable to discuss this issue for a while.
Jiang Shu was startled again, pursed her lips, and stopped talking. She lowered her head to eat the wontons, and the spoon made a crisp sound when it hit the porcelain bowl.
The wontons were steaming, and the steam was spreading over this small space. Jiang Shu's pale cheeks were slightly rosy due to the steam, and her lips were delicate and plump.
She ate the wontons in small bites and took a breath when she was burned. She would not remember it next time and would continue to be burned.
Cheng Xiyu blinked twice in a hurry, suppressing the warm water vapor in his eyes. His voice was low, floating in the steaming heat: "Jiang Shu, will you come home with me this year?"
Jiang Shu was stunned for a while, then said, "Aren't you going home?"
"I don't have a mother anymore."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and she couldn't help it anymore: "...Cheng Xiyu."
Cheng Xiyu filled another bowl of steaming wontons. Seeing that Jiang Shu had almost eaten, he gave her a few more. When he was about to eat, he heard Jiang Shu say slowly: "Cheng Xiyu."
Jiang Shu leaned in his arms and her voice was so low that he couldn't hear her clearly.
Cheng Xiyu rubbed it unconsciously with his fingers twice, then picked out a plump wonton with a spoon and fed it to Jiang Shu's mouth: "Does the shrimp stuffing taste good?"
Jiang Shu nodded: "It's delicious."
"This year, how about we celebrate the New Year here?" Cheng Xiyu softened his tone: "If you feel lonely, you can invite a few friends."
The sun was shining brightly, and at this moment, he was confident that he and Jiang Shu would go through the years to come.
Cheng Xiyu's parents would not agree. Jiang Shu knew it very well.
"Isn't it good for us to do this?" She said: "I don't really want to think about it yet..."
Even a small scratch hurts, let alone a sensitive place like the forehead. Isn’t it normal for it to hurt for a few days?!
Suddenly someone doubted his ability. Gu Zhao was furious and was about to send out messages frantically when the other party hung up the phone.
Gu Zhao: "..." I can't live this day.
Jiang Shu always keeps everything in her heart. Over time, it will become a thorn in her heart. When she tries to pull it out later, she will be dripping with blood.
"Jiang Shu...you have to give me some time." He suddenly became strong, and Jiang Shu didn't know how to answer for a while.
Both of them knew that this was not about dumplings and wontons.
Cheng Xiyu said: "What a fool."
Cheng Xiyu was silent for a while: "The dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp should also be delicious."
Jiang Shu suddenly hugged him. Cheng Xiyu was stunned, and his thumb accidentally touched the hang up button. Only then did he react and hug Jiang Shu.
"What's wrong?" he asked,
Jiang Shu smiled: "Why are you so stupid..."
"You bought your medical university diploma, right?"
There are some rituals that cannot be broken, especially for a big family like the Cheng family. If the head of the family doesn't go home, how can the family still get together?
Cheng Xiyu patted her back gently, listened to her patiently, and answered from time to time, until Jiang Shu was tired of crying.
"Yeah." Cheng Xiyu responded to express that he heard it.
He desperately wanted to get married to Jiang Shu, but reason told him that it was inappropriate.
It would be nice to be able to vent it out.
Cheng Xiyu frowned and wanted to call the caregiver.
Jiang Shu looked at him. Gu Zhao didn't know what he said. Cheng Xiyu's tone was a little tough: "Is pain normal?"
Cheng Xiyu said that another bowl of wontons in the kitchen was about to be cooked, and walked to the kitchen without waiting for Jiang Shu to answer.
He tried to avoid hearing Jiang Shu's answer. Silence was the best rejection.
She had concerns, Cheng Xiyu understood. But he didn't want to understand: "When can it be done?"
She spoke softly and slowly, as if she was just describing this fact, and she seemed to be acting coquettishly.
His tone was a little helpless. Jiang Shu was stunned when she heard this, and raised her eyes to look at him.
Every year in the past, even if he didn't like going back to his old house, he would always go back on the New Year's Day.
The tears that fell burned Cheng Xiyu's heart, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"You don't have to take everything on yourself." He reached out and rubbed Jiang Shu's cheek twice: "I didn't want to go back."
They are all filled with dough, so wontons should not be much different from dumplings. Jiang Shu has never tried them, so she doesn't quite understand.
After eating, she subconsciously took the napkin and handed it over with one hand.
The two of them sat face to face at the small dining table, leaning together to share the bowl of wontons. He could see Jiang Shu's long eyelashes that were bent down with moisture, and he could see the eye-catching little red moles on her eyelids.
The bits of hair naughtily slipped out from the ears.
People in the north eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but this custom is not common in the south.
Cheng Xiyu knows what she thinks
"It's okay." He said, "Just go back in the evening. I don't need to worry about it there."
Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, and there was silence in the air for a moment.
Jiang Shu said: "I have never eaten dumplings."
"Last year, we just had a meal at home. We didn't stay for too long, and they got used to it."
Jiang Shu looked at him quietly for a long time and then said "hmm" softly.
In the afternoon, Wang also came to deliver many things. In addition to the documents for the past few days, there were also some daily necessities, fresh vegetables and fruits,
The villa in the middle of the mountain is quiet and the scenery is good. The only disadvantage is that the transportation is not very convenient. If you want to buy something, you have to drive to the convenience store down the mountain to buy it.
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here with a fresh chapter!
