Before leaving, Cui Weizhen wrote a letter to Ye Zhenzhen, which was handed over to the rightful owner by Aunt Cui. After the family had exchanged greetings, Ye Zhenzhen returned to Mingxiyuan and had time to open the letter and read it carefully.
The handwriting in the letter was very sloppy. It must have been written in a hurry when receiving the news of leaving Beijing for disaster relief. The words were genuine and worried, making Ye Zhenzhen burst into tears.
"mother?"
Cui Zhiduan suddenly poked his head in from outside and saw his mother's eyes red with tears. He was immediately frightened and ran in quickly, looking at her carefully: "Mom, do you miss daddy?"
Ye Zhenzhen quickly took out the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes: "Why are you here? You must be tired from traveling these days. Go back and rest soon."
Cui Zhiduan sat down next to Ye Zhenzhen, Yan Han was worried: "I'm worried about you. Before dad left, he told me to take good care of you. Are you unhappy? I learned a little trick on the road, let me perform it for you, okay?
?”
No wonder this child didn't mention her father in a word when she came back. It turned out to be because she was worried that she would be hurt by the situation.
Ye Zhenzhen rubbed his head: "Okay, what kind of trick is it? Did you figure it out yourself?"
"No, I don't have this ability. I met a charlatan on the way back and I learned from him."
Cui Zhiduan performed a very classic magic trick of solving a chain. Ye Zhenzhen knew the tricks of this game, but she also cooperated very well with her son's performance, applauding and laughing after he finished the performance.
"Yes, it's very interesting. I can perform it for the Fourth Young Master when I go to school tomorrow. He will definitely not be able to see through it."
"Mom, have you seen through it?" Cui Zhideuan held Ye Zhenzhen's arm and acted coquettishly.
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said nothing.
Cui Zhiduan immediately understood that his mother had seen through it, but he was not surprised. After all, he learned most of his tricks from his mother. She often watched these tricks, so she must have seen through them at a glance.
He was not surprised and continued to say excitedly: "I will think of new tricks to show you later."
If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely scold Cui Zhiduan for playing with toys, but Ye Zhenzhen knew that his son was just trying to make her happy, so she rubbed his head gently: "Okay, mother is looking forward to it."
Cui Zhiduan saw his mother's mood gradually rising and continued to chat with her: "I just went to play with Yuanyuan. She has grown so fast in the past month and looks more round and strong. When I fed her
They didn’t refuse, they seemed to still remember me.”
Mentioning the beloved panda, the smile on Ye Zhenzhen's face became more obvious: "Yes, Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan are both very human. They even took a walk with me a few days ago."
Cui Zhiduan's eyes lit up: "Take a walk? Mother, have you gone to the park to play with Tuan Yuan Yuan?"
He has been coveting this for a long time, but his father warned him that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. Although Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan are both very human, they are not very familiar with each other after all. If they come into close contact, something may happen.
Therefore, he has not been allowed to enter the park and have close contact with the two pandas.
"No, I'm outside. Tuanyuan is following me close to the fence."
Ye Zhenzhen, who was pregnant with Liujia, naturally did not dare to take risks. Occasionally rubbing the furry little heads of the little cuties was the limit, so naturally she did not dare to enter the park.
However, the image of taking two giant pandas for a walk makes me feel cute just thinking about it.
Cui Zhiduan smiled dreamily and said expectantly: "I also want to take Tuan Yuan Yuan for a walk together. Mom, let's go together tomorrow."
Wouldn't it be a walk with three little cuties?
The smile on Ye Zhenzhen's face deepened, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Cui Weizhen's failure to return home did not seem to have much impact on Ye Zhenzhen's life. Her life continued as usual, but Aunt Cui took care of her. She also had her son and nephew Caiyi to entertain her, and did not give her much
There are many opportunities for sadness or worry.
Ye Zhenzhen understood their hard work, and in order to make Cui Weizhen feel more at ease outside, she tried every means to make her life more fulfilling, and then recorded her daily life, no matter how tedious and boring it was.
, it is also a time-consuming thing anyway, and finally I will send it all to Cui Weizhen.
Cui Weizhen was still on the road at the moment, so the letters could not be delivered in time, but Ye Zhenzhen received quite a few letters.
For example, the letters between Mo Qingwei and Qin Yuyuan, they have been exchanging letters since they followed their husbands to other places, about family affairs, customs and people's feelings... there are many things to write about. Ye Zhenzhen likes to read their letters very much, and always feels like she is also out.
It's like traveling all over again.
After learning that she was pregnant, they also sent a lot of medicinal materials for pregnancy and childbirth, as well as various custom toys. In the past, they sent toys for little boys. Later, when they heard that Cui Zhiduan's obsession was his sister, they also cooperated.
They brought girls' things from the ground, ranging from toys to underwear. Although they were not very expensive, they showed their thoughtfulness.
In addition, Chu Ningyan has the most frequent contact with her.
At the beginning of the year, she and Cui Qinglan planned to build a branch of Yongshan Hall in Jingning. After more than half a year, it had begun to take shape, and things gradually got on the right track. Jingning County is now the territory of the Cui family, whether it is for reputation or to be with the Cui family.
They made good friends, and the local wealthy households were very supportive of the work of the Shantang, which reduced Chu Ningyan's work pressure a lot.
Even so, Chu Ningyan encountered a lot of problems during this period. She often ran back to the capital to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Indifferently, she did not dare to upset the pregnant Ye Zhenzhen, so the objects of Buddhist scriptures became Xuan Niang and others.
Of course, after taking the scriptures, just go to Ye Zhenzhen for a small gathering.
Now that things in the shantang have gradually stabilized, Chu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief. When she returned to Beijing this time, she revealed an idea to Ye Zhenzhen: "I want to take the two children to live with Jingning."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised. Of course, she was not opposed to it, but she had always supported her in taking Qiqi and Jin Hui's two children to take care of her. It was only because of the opposition of the two elders of the Zhou family that she was unable to do so. But she didn't know why she suddenly had the problem again.
made this determination.
Chu Ningyan smiled bitterly: "Qiqi and Jin Hui don't live with us all year round, so the relationship is inevitably a bit unfamiliar. This time when I came back, Qiqi asked me if I was going to have a younger sister, and I would never love her again.
"
For a child to say this, she must have heard some gossip. There is no need to investigate where these words came to her ears. This incident reflects a question. Is the child alienated from them, so she behaves like this?
Lack of trust and security.
Ye Zhenzhen thought about how Cui Zhiduan behaved when she had her second child, and nodded in agreement. Zhiduan would worry about gains and losses when she grew up, let alone the twins who rarely see their parents all year round.
"Let Zhou Xunting come forward in person. Your children must be educated by your side. As for enlightenment, you don't have to worry about it. Just take the master to Jingning."
If this continues, the child will really be separated from his parents.
