The last time Lin Zhi passed away, I had seen Yan Zhuang, but I was in a daze at that time. At first glance, I only thought that Yan Zhuang looked haggard and old, and I didn't take a closer look. But at this time, standing in front of Yan Zhuang, I realized that this short

In just one year, Yan Zhuang has been greatly changed.

Her temperament and deportment are due to her inner cultivation and have not been damaged by time, but her external image is indeed as Miao Miao said, ten years older.

Yan Zhuang, who once talked about losing weight, no longer needs to lose weight. She has lost at least two laps of weight. She used to be round and round, but now she has become shriveled and thin. Her skin is sagging and dark yellow, especially her collarbones.

Yan Zhuang is really an old man now...

At this moment, recalling the choice that Yan Zhuang asked her to make, she seems to have a deeper understanding. If she had not given up on this marriage, would Yan Zhuang's future be what she is today?

Facing Yan Zhuang's surprised smile, Tao Zi's reaction was much calmer, even a little reserved. He lingered at the door for a while before calling out, "Aunt Yan..."

This title made Yan Zhuang stunned for a moment. It has been so long and he is still not used to his daughter calling her that...

Thinking of the days when this girl called her "Mom" like a daughter in front of him, I couldn't help but feel sour. However, I still smiled and said hello, "You know how, Xiao Zhen is really...little.

It's just a problem, why make such a fuss?"

Tao Zi put down the things, smiled slightly, and said politely, "Xiao Zhen didn't tell me."

"Oh? Thank you then... sit down and eat some fruit..." Yan Zhuang stood up and greeted her warmly.

"Aunt Yan, just lie down and don't move. Don't worry about me!" As he approached, the old fragrance on Yan Zhuang's body was no longer there, replaced by the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and Tao Zi felt a little desolate in his heart.

Yan Zhuang stared at her with a smile on his face, but at the end, his face darkened slightly, "You have lost weight! This little chin is so pointed!"

Tao Zi felt an inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart. People often say that the more mothers look at their daughters, the thinner they become. Every time the daughters who have wandered away come home, their mothers will complain about being thin. Even if they are fat, they are still thin in their eyes.

She has never enjoyed such treatment. Yan Zhuang... No matter when he is Yan Zhuang, he can always hit the softest part of her heart in one fell swoop, even if it is unconsciously...

"You young people just don't pay attention to your health, especially your diet. You'll eat one meal, you'll go hungry, one meal, and if you don't want to do anything, you just eat whatever you want. How can you do that? You haven't eaten yet? My aunt just brought me some food, and I haven't returned any of it.

We haven't moved yet, we two will eat together..." At this point, Yan Zhuang himself was stunned. For a moment, his speech was smooth, and he casually brought out the word "mother"...

Tao Zi also felt uncomfortable, but he pretended not to hear it and said with a smile, "I've already eaten it, you can use it."

"I'm not hungry either, I'll wait." Yan Zhuang smiled broadly and just looked at her. It was obvious that she was very happy that Tao Zi came to see her.

Tao Zi was embarrassed by her look, her face turned slightly red, and she said softly, "Aunt Yan, you are the one who needs to take more care of yourself. You have lost a lot of weight!"

Yan Zhuang smiled, "It's okay, I'm trying to lose weight! Look, I finally succeeded in losing weight!"

"Aunt Yan..." She has always known that Yan Zhuang is an extraordinary woman. In Yan Zhuang's eyes, there is no despair for life, and his smile is full of vigor and unwillingness to admit defeat. This is essentially the same as Ning.

Zhen Qian was the same, a hard energy radiated from his bones,

But it was precisely this that made Tao Zi lament and sigh. Is such Yan Zhuang helpless? She wanted to say, Aunt Yan, don't work too hard. However, this sentence could not be said. Is it possible for Yan Zhuang not to work hard? After all,

Men are a bit rough when it comes to taking care of children, not to mention they are special children.

Her emotions were written on her face one by one, and they were not hidden. How could Yan Zhuang not see it when seeing countless people? She was even more moved in her heart, and couldn't help but hold Tao Zi's hand, "Taotao, you are a good child, no need to

I feel aggrieved. I have never experienced anything in my life. Now that I am old, my only wish is to see you children live well. I hope Xiao Zhen lives well and you live well. Everything else is not important anymore.

As long as you have smooth sailing, I'm willing to work no matter how hard you work."

Children? Including her? She lowered her head, and Ren Yanzhuang held her hand without saying a word.

Yan Zhuang thought that it aroused her knot, and stretched out his hand to help her straighten her hanging hair, "Taotao, a lot of things have happened in the past two years. For various reasons, or because there is no suitable time,

We didn’t have a good conversation either. Taotao, in the past,

Of all these things, our Ning family is most sorry for you. You are innocent, but you have been hurt so much. I have never been able to think of how to compensate you. Everything I can offer is something you don’t like.

To this day, this is the only thing Aunt Yan can't let go of."

For this child whom she once loved as her daughter, Yan Zhuang saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. However, as she said, all she could give was material things. How could a girl like Tao Zi put material things into her eyes?

See it? And for the rest, she even appeared in front of Tao Zi

Even before, she felt inappropriate. As her ex-mother-in-law, who knew whether it would embarrass each other? Who knew whether Taotao had any resentment in her heart? Therefore, she could only continue to compensate her materially, or secretly do things for her.

Some things, such as taking down Luo Dongcheng.

"Taotao, you have resentment in your heart. I understand. I am also a woman. How could I not understand your feelings? So, I am really touched that you came to see me. I thought that we would never have a chance again.

Sitting together and talking like this, Taotao, you are such a kind child. Such a kind child deserves to be happy. Seeing that you are all happy, I have nothing to ask for in this life..." Yan

Zhuang said, tears welling up in his eyes.

The past events are still vivid in her mind. From the day she married into the Ning family to the day she left Beijing, did Yan Zhuang really care for her or was he just pretending to be in love with her? She was not a stupid person, so how could she not feel it? But later, God's will made it impossible for them to be together again.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, let them become alienated.13acv.

Those past events and those separations may have been thought to be insurmountable at the time. But now when I think about it, the root cause is blurry. Is it because of forgetfulness? It seems not. Because of Qianqi? It seems.

No. Because Yan Zhuang asked her to make a choice? It doesn’t seem to be the case. The choice was made by herself...

"Aunt Yan, what if..." This question was difficult and silly to ask. She stumbled and half-way through the question, she raised her head and looked into Yan's solemn eyes. The warm temperature inside was the same as before... She didn't

Ask again, answer

, it seems obvious when looking back. Not to mention whether there is an if in this world, even if there is, even if Yan Zhuang doesn't give her a choice, she will still leave. That hurdle is that she can't get over, it is because she has always wanted Ning Zhenqian.

Let her go...

Yan Zhuang, on the other hand, realized another meaning in these words and told her firmly, "Taotao, if you had stayed in the Ning family and not left, I would have tried my best not to let Mo Wang influence me."

Your life will protect your happiness, but Taotao

, I’m old, and I can’t keep walking with Mo Wang. One day, when I can’t do it, you will more or less inevitably have to face Mo Wang. Guarding such a child, the biological parents will go crazy and...

Suicidal, Taotao, the choice is difficult..."

To be honest, as a mother, she knows better than anyone else that Tao Zi is her son's happiness. Because of Tao Zi, her son's life has vitality and color. She sincerely hopes that her son can keep this happiness and not lose it.

, However, when the two of them were having such a quarrel, she, who had just begun to understand autism, seemed to see that Tao Zi and her son's future life would be full of quarrels and conflicts, and saw the two tormenting each other. Twice, she dreamed that Tao Zi was holding Mo.

Forget about committing suicide...

In such chaos, her only thought was that she hoped that these two children could be happy and that they could walk a happy path. However, she didn't know what a happy path was, so she could only let the children do it themselves.

select……

But now, she still doesn't want to dominate her children's lives. Whatever happens in the future, let it happen. The important problem is here, and she doesn't want to hide it. No matter how they go on in the future, they must face up to this problem.

Tao Zi blushed. Did Yan Zhuang's words seem to mean that she regretted her choice? She couldn't help but defend herself, "That's not what I meant..."

Yan Zhuang smiled, "It doesn't matter which one you mean. The past has passed. I only know that Taotao came to see me today and I am very happy."

Yan Zhuang's heartfelt smile was extremely contagious, making Tao Zi feel that the unfamiliar thin ice between them was melting away bit by bit. Yan Zhuang also thought that she had hatred and resentment in her heart, haha

, everyone thought so, she almost thought that she had really hated and resented her, at least, it was certain that she had had some grievances...

"Aunt Yan, I heard that the old chief has also been hospitalized?" She didn't want to deny it. She felt good sitting and talking with Yan Zhuang at the moment. Compared with the awkward alienation before, she would rather stay in her current state, even if

She is no longer mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but can also be an old acquaintance, whom she has known for years and years. She once liked Yan Zhuang so much...

"Old chief?" Yan Zhuang laughed out loud after hearing this, "In front of your father...in front of him, you must not say that. He thinks he is still a young boy!" The momentary slip of the tongue made him

Yan Zhuang was a little embarrassed and quickly covered it up. Even after a year, he still couldn't change some of his words.

Tao Zi pretended to be confused again, and smiled thinking about the always sullen leader, "So... is Uncle Ning okay? Is it going to be too much for him to go to the grassroots to take care of his health this time?"

He looked at her solemnly and meaningfully, patted the back of her hand to reassure her, "Don't worry about us. We both value our bodies more than anyone else. We want to live a long life. If we live one more day, we can live a healthy life."

A small earthquake reduces the burden a little bit."

At this point, a low voice came, "Mom..."

It was Ning Zhenqian who came, bringing Mo Wang with him.

The words he just heard happened to be heard by him, and while he was moved in his heart, he also felt guilty.

"Hey, it's here! Didn't I let you come? It's noon, so I'm already busy!" Yan Zhuang let go of Tao Zi's hand and saw that Ning Zhenqian didn't respond. The two stood across the bed, a little embarrassed, and said, "

Taotao came to see me!"

"Yeah." He responded in a low voice. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tao Zi's back. His heart was beating erratically. The more chaotic he became, the less he knew how to greet her. Don't forget to come over and teach him how to say hello.

, "Don't forget to call me grandma."

Mo Wang lowered his head and played with the things in his hands, ignoring him.

Yan Zhuang said to Tao Zi, "This kid is like this. He doesn't respond to others calling him Mo Wang, and he won't call me. However, he knows that I am grandma and that I am his... family member." Maybe Mo Wanglian.

He doesn't understand what family means, but in his world there is a person like grandma, a father, and a grandfather. The concept of family to Mo Wang is something that neither Yan Zhuang nor the rest of the Ning family can understand.

Yan Zhuang did not intend to hide any of this from Tao Zi.

Tao Zi stared at Mo Wang, who was playing with toys with his head down. No wonder he ignored her last time when she called Mo Wang at XX University. She knew very little about autistic children...

When Ning Zhenqian arrived, it seemed that the atmosphere became a little tense. Tao Zi didn't know how to be in the same room with Yan Zhuang in front of him, so he stood up and asked to leave, "Aunt Yan, I'll come see you next time. Please take good care of yourself."

Body."

"We have to go!" Yan Zhuang said immediately, "Let Xiao Zhen see you off! It's hard to wait for the bus on such a hot day!" After saying that, he said to Ning Zhen Qian, "Go, you haven't eaten yet, don't

If you forget to eat it here, you can send Taotao back! You can eat it on the way."

Ning Zhenqian nodded, "I'll take Mo Wang with me."

"No! Don't forget to leave me here! You still have to go to work in the afternoon! You don't know how busy you are during this time!"
To be continued...
