half thorns, half joy

Tang Xuan was still playing with Xiao Yuebai, when she looked up, she found that Xiao Zihan had already driven into the community.

She was surprised: "How do you know the way?"

Xiao Zihan took it for granted, "I've been here once, of course I know."

I came here once, and I remembered it within a few days, and I was able to find it accurately after a year. Tang Xuan didn't know whether to praise Xiao Zihan for his good memory, or for his hard work.

After parking the car, Xiao Zihan hugged Yuebai, Tang Xuan walked in front, and the three of them went upstairs together.

When they reached the door, Tang Xuan noticed that there were two people from the housekeeping company standing there. They seemed to be the two of them who came last year.

Tang Xuan immediately understood why they were here, and couldn't help but turned to look at Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan smiled, and took the initiative to say: "I thought, if I video call Mom later and see that the house is not cleaned and there is dust, she will definitely be worried about Yuebai's health."

Tang Xuan originally planned to say a few words about Xiao Zihan. She didn't like Xiao Zihan's self-assessment, but after hearing Xiao Zihan's answer, she was speechless.

I have to admit that Xiao Zihan was indeed right.

On weekdays, when they wanted to play with and hold their babies, Zhao Suizhi would ask them to wash their hands first. Last time they returned from Paris, Zhao Suizhi even asked them to take a bath, only to disinfect them.

No one has lived in this house for more than a year. Presumably, the sanitation is indeed relatively poor, which will affect Xiao Yuebai's health.

Thinking of this, Tang Xuan compromised. She took out the key and opened the door, and asked two people from the housekeeping company to enter.

Xiao Zihan held Xiao Yuebai's hand, stood at the door, and said to Tang Xuan, "Let them clean up first, let's go buy paper money first. Or, you take our baby for a stroll, and I'll oversee the work here."

Tang Xuan smiled and shook her head, "There's nothing to oversee, and there's nothing valuable in my house. Let's go together."

After the two went downstairs, they ran into Aunt Liu who lived downstairs from Tang Xuan's house.

Tang Xuan saw that Aunt Liu was in good spirits, and she was dressed almost exactly the same as last year, so she recognized her right away.

This time, it was she who greeted first.

"Aunt Liu, you went grocery shopping."

Aunt Liu had just returned from shopping and was about to make lunch. When she saw Tang Xuan, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she clapped her hands happily, "Oh, it's Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan, you've come home to visit the grave again."

Tang Xuan nodded, "Well, isn't it Qingming?"

"That's great, come here this time, or stay for two days before leaving?" Aunt Liu shook the plastic bag in her hand and said, "Let's eat at home later, I just bought two more dishes today."

Tang Xuan declined with a smile, "Don't bother Aunt Liu, we are going to eat out, and buy some paper money by the way. The child hasn't eaten in the morning, so he is hungry now."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu looked down at Xiao Yuebai.

She looked really happy, "It's so big. When I saw it last time, it was still wrapped up. It's a small one."

Tang Xuan smiled, lowered her head and said to Xiao Yuebai, "Call Grandma Liu."

Xiao Yuebai opened her round eyes, and said crisply: "Grandma Liu is good."

"Oh, you're so cute." Aunt Liu couldn't move her eyes away, she kept praising Xiao Yuebai, "This eyebrow and eyes are so handsome, after all, he grew up in the city, his skin is also fair, and he is a star." material!"

Although this exaggeration wasn't too much, Tang Xuan was a little embarrassed by her exaggerated tone, so she said, "Then, auntie, go cook, and we'll go for a walk too."

If she didn't speak out in time, she was afraid that Aunt Liu would keep talking, and finally called them to dinner enthusiastically.

When Aunt Liu heard what Tang Xuan said, she sighed, and said several times that she must go to their house, and then went upstairs.

Seeing Aunt Liu went upstairs, Tang Xuan put away her smiling face and sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan on the side asked Tang Xuan, "Since you don't like to chat, why do you keep chatting with them for so long, can't you just say hello and leave?"

Tang Xuan shook her head and did not explain.

Just say: "Let's go, let's go shopping."

It's not that she didn't want to explain, but firstly, she couldn't explain why herself, and secondly, she felt that even if she explained clearly, Xiao Zihan would not be able to understand.

Xiao Zihan has been able to communicate with people since he was a child, but he would never greet his aunt standing up. He was not born in this environment, nor did he have this experience.

Most of the people around him were asking for him, or when Xiao Mingyuan was alive, they were asking for his father.

He was polite, but also distant.

In Xiao Zihan's world, being introverted, distant and polite is the most comfortable and common state among people who are not close to each other.

So Xiao Zihan didn't understand why Tang Xuan would listen to such a string of words from Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu hadn't treated Tang Xuan very well in the past, and it could be said that she was a bit mean.

Tang Xuan knew it herself, but after all, she was doing well now. He was just being mean to her, not her. She felt that there was no need to smear him.

After buying paper money, they went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, and after eating at the restaurant in front of the supermarket, Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan went back slowly.

Xiao Yuebai didn't understand what the adults were thinking, she held Xiao Zihan with one hand, and Tang Xuan with the other, and she couldn't walk along the happy road, jumping and jumping.

When approaching the door, Tang Xuan suddenly felt emotional.

Said to Xiao Zihan: "Actually, I know that Aunt Liu is a very snobbish person and her heart is not kind, but I really don't need to give her face. My life is so good now, even if I don't make things difficult for her, she must be in her heart." Regret it."

After hearing this, Xiao Zihan smiled knowingly, picked up Tang Xuan's words, and talked about Aunt Liu's inner activities: "If I had known that girl was so promising, I should have treated her better. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks. Treat her better earlier, now she should honor me. Regret."

Tang Xuan laughed when she heard this, and didn't make any distinctions.

The two went upstairs and saw that the people from the housekeeping company were already standing outside the door waiting.

While they were out, the housekeeping company had already finished cleaning. The house was just dusty, so cleaning was easy and didn't take time.

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan went in with their things. Tang Xuan checked the circuit and drained the water. Xiao Zihan paid the housekeeping company and gave a tip.

"No problem. Let them go back."

"Thank you." Xiao Zihan sent away the people from the housekeeping company and closed the door.

Although it was cleaned spotlessly, it was an uninhabited house after all. The heating was not turned on all winter, and there was a chill in the house.

Tang Xuan spread out the newly bought sheets and sat there in a daze for a while.

Looking at the old posters on the wall, she couldn't help thinking of when her parents were still there, especially now that she came back with Yuebai who could talk and call her grandma and grandpa. How much she hoped that her parents could He heard Yuebai call them.

Tang Xuan was heartbroken for a while, seeing that Yuebai was sleepy, she hugged Yuebai into the bedroom and went to sleep.

It was the same in the bedroom, it was chilly.

Although it's already spring, it's the north after all, so it's still cold. Tang Xuan's house has no ventilation and has been exposed to the sun, so it's even chillier.

After laying down a new bed sheet and asking Xiao Yuebai to lie down, Tang Xuan felt that it was impossible.

It's nothing for her to sleep with Xiao Zihan in this room, it's really too cold for Xiaoyue to sleep in vain.

In the end, Tang Xuan picked Xiao Yuebai up, went out and said to Xiao Zihan who was checking the electrical circuits in the room, "Zihan, why don't we go to the grave now, and return to the city today after the grave. This house is too It's cold, I'm afraid that Yuebai will catch a cold and get sick."

After hearing this, Xiao Zihan thought for a moment, then nodded.

"That's all right. Let's go."

When they were about to go out, Tang Xuan received a message from Zhao Suizhi on WeChat, asking where they were and how everything was going.

Tang Xuan pulled Xiao Zihan to sit on the sofa again, and directly dialed the video to Zhao Suizhi.

She smiled and said to Xiao Zihan: "I'll let mom see my home."

Zhao Suizhi was obviously holding the phone, Tang Xuan just dialed it, and she picked it up.In the video, she looks very happy with the baby in her arms.

"Mom, we're home." Tang Xuan waved her hand and said.

"Mom, before we came, we had the housekeeping company clean the house. Now we are going to sweep the tomb. After sweeping the tomb, we will go back to the city and stay in a hotel. We will go back tomorrow." Xiao Zihan was afraid that Zhao Suizhi would be worried. Explained very thoroughly.

"Grandma, grandma." Xiao Yuebai waved her hands and shouted twice.

Zhao Suizhi laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She was not so dignified. She hummed and said, "Okay, it's good, and the baby is also good. Xiaoxuan, this is your home."

Tang Xuan hummed, stood up holding her phone, and showed Zhao Suizhi her home.

"Mom, look. We are in the living room now. This is the award I got when I was a child. This is the photo of my parents."

Zhao Suizhi's face completely changed the moment he saw the photo of Tang Xuan's parents.

Zhao Suizhi's brain buzzed and exploded. She could no longer hear what Tang Xuan was saying. She only had three words in her head.

how come……
