half thorns, half joy

Tang Xuan really wanted to ask, but right now it's not the most important thing. She suppressed her curiosity first, and said to Xiao Yuebai with a smile, "Baby is so smart, grandma and grandpa will definitely like him very much."

"Baby likes grandma and grandpa too." Xiao Yuebai walked over and put her arms around Tang Xuan's neck.

Xiao Zihan was once again startled by Xiao Yuebai's intelligence, took out paper money and tributes, and placed them with Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan's attention is a little less, and this set of procedures can be done a little faster.

However, Tang Xuan kept talking to the tombstone, slowly and gently, talking about her current life, her job, and her baby.

Xiao Zihan and Xiao Yuebai knelt beside Tang Xuan, listening without saying a word.

In the end, Tang Xuan said: "Dad, Mom, Xiaobao is really too young. I really can't bring it this time. Next time we come again, I will bring Xiaobao here to show you. Dad, Mom , I am living very well now, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the tombstone and said softly, "Kowtow."

The three of them kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

When he got up again, the knees of his trousers were already covered with dirt. Xiao Zihan patted the dirt away for Xiao Yuebai, and asked Tang Xuan, "Shall we go, or do you want to stay with your parents for a while?"

Tang Xuan stared at the tombstone reluctantly for a while, then sighed, "Let's go."

On the way back, Tang Xuan didn't say a word.

Xiao Zihan knew that Tang Xuan was definitely not feeling well, so he didn't say a word, and drove the car back downstairs in silence.

The car stopped, and he glanced at his watch, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Xiaoxuan, let's pack up now. If it's a little late after packing up, we'll have a meal first and then go back to the city. If it's early, we'll go back to the city and then have dinner, is that okay?"

Tang Xuan opened the car door and got out of the car with Xiao Yuebai in her arms, "Yes, yes."

The two of them took Xiao Yuebai by the hand and got into the car. Xiao Yuebai changed from her usual playfulness and lazily leaned against Tang Xuan's lap, her eyes were not bright.

After opening the door and entering the room, after Xiao Zihan hugged him and sat on the sofa, he even closed his eyes.

"He didn't take a nap today, so he must be sleepy." Tang Xuan said, went into the room to get a new blanket, asked Xiao Zihan to wrap Xiao Yuebai up, and put Xiao Yuebai on the sofa, "Let him sleep a little Sleep for a while, I'll pack up quickly, let's go back to the city without delay."

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Okay."

In fact, Tang Xuan didn't have anything to clean up. After all, the furniture and daily necessities in this old house were all from many years ago, so there was really no need to bring them.

She cleaned up this time to take away some things she missed, such as the pens used by her father, the sweater needles used by her mother, and things from her past, such as the diaries she once wrote.

These small objects representing memories are very precious to Tang Xuan, and she wants to bring them to her new home.

Cleaning up while wiping, Tang Xuan packed the bits and pieces into a small luggage bag and finished packing.

She left the bedroom with her small luggage and walked to the living room.

"Okay, let's go back to the city." Tang Xuan said to Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan glanced at the small bag in Tang Xuan's hand, and said, "That's all. It's hard to come here, why don't you bring some more?"

Tang Xuan laughed, "There's nothing to take with me. Our life was poor at that time, especially after my parents passed away. In order to save money to go to school, I had few hobbies or used anything special. I didn't have anything left behind."

"...Alright then." Even though she knew Tang Xuan's background clearly, she still felt sad when she was in it.

Xiao Zihan hugged Xiao Yuebai who was sleeping, Tang Xuan turned off the electric switch and water switch, picked up the bag, and walked out together.

The sound insulation of the old building was not good. When standing in the hallway with the door locked, Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan both heard the quarreling of men and women from downstairs.

Listening to that pungent female voice, it was Aunt Liu.

After locking the door, the two were about to go downstairs when they could clearly hear scolding continuously.

"How old are you, how old are you, do you want me to support you until you are old, ah, everyone is getting married and having children one by one, you just stay at home every day and don't look for a partner, you call me Where is this old face! You have lost all my face!"

Aunt Liu's mouth was like a machine gun, and she couldn't stop chug.

The voice was so penetrating and strong, it was like scolding into someone's ear, Xiao Zihan couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

"Let's go quickly," Tang Xuan whispered.

"Let me tell you, you will piss me off sooner or later, and you just want to piss me off! One you, one your father, what a crime I did to meet you two men! There is no such thing as a day! The law is over!"

Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan walked down sullenly, when the door of Aunt Liu's house suddenly opened with a bang, and Aunt Liu rushed out aggressively.

It was so embarrassing, Tang Xuan and Aunt Liu almost bumped into each other.

"...Aunt Liu." Tang Xuan smiled awkwardly and glanced at Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan stood expressionless, with cold eyes.

More embarrassing than Tang Xuan was Aunt Liu herself.

She rubbed her hands together awkwardly, opened her mouth several times, and then said in embarrassment: "You guys are going to leave now, don't you want to stay for a few more days. It's already this time tonight, so it's too late to go back."

Tang Xuan nodded, "Well, we'll go back tomorrow. It's too dark and cold in the house, and the child catches a cold easily while sleeping. We've booked a hotel in the city, and we'll stay in the hotel tonight."

"It's good to stay in a hotel, the hotel is clean." Aunt Liu laughed dryly, not daring to look at Xiao Zihan, she just looked at Tang Xuan and said, "Then if you are not in a hurry to leave tonight, come to my house for dinner, I am about to buy The food is going."

"Don't bother Aunt Liu, the child is sleepy, let's go back to the city first."

Aunt Liu was far less enthusiastic this time than last time, probably because she had just finished a quarrel, and knew that Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan must have heard her family ugliness, and she felt very ashamed.

She sighed and said: "That's fine, then you go back quickly, let's go, I will take you downstairs. This time, you should come by car. I see a new car parked at the door, which is newly bought by you." ."

Tang Xuan smiled and replied, "No, it's my husband's friend's car. He thought it would be inconvenient for us to come here, so he lent it to us."

"Oh, that's right. That's fine, too."

Chatting awkwardly and going downstairs, Aunt Liu followed Tang Xuan all the way to the car.

She watched Xiao Zihan put Xiao Yuebai in the back seat, put on her seat belt, and grabbed Tang Xuan's hand, she immediately felt emotional.

"My girl, you suffered a lot when you were young, and it's great that you are doing well now. It's not in vain. Your parents will be very happy if they know that you are doing well now. Hey, You have to be strong since you were young, in the end it is up to you.”

These words seemed to be praising Tang Xuan, but Tang Xuan heard it, and felt uncomfortable no matter how she heard it.

Seeing that Xiao Zihan had put away the things, she quickly said, "Aunt Liu, you are fine now, as long as you are in good health, nothing else matters. It's getting late, let's go."

"Hey, let's go. Be careful on the road, and be careful when you get to the city. There are a lot of thieves now, so be careful not to be robbed by thieves. Also, when you get in the car, if the child is about to fall asleep, you have to help him." Hold the child's head, don't let the child blink."

Aunt Liu was rambling on, but still refused to let go of Tang Xuan's hand.

Tang Xuan had no choice but to turn to Xiao Zihan for help.

"Xiao Xuan." Xiao Zihan walked over directly, stood in front of Tang Xuan, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's getting late, it's time to go."

Although Xiao Zihan dressed relatively low-key and drove an ordinary car borrowed from a friend, the watch on his wrist immediately blinded Aunt Liu's eyes.

Even people who don’t understand watches at all and have never seen a good watch will be overwhelmed by the complicated dial and the shining diamonds on the dial when they see hundreds of thousands of watches at first sight.

Taking advantage of the moment Aunt Liu was surprised, Tang Xuan withdrew her hand.

"Then Aunt Liu, let's go."

After finishing speaking, she quickly got into the car without waiting for Aunt Liu to hold her back.This time, Xiao Zihan didn't call Aunt Liu, just nodded slightly, and walked around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat.

Aunt Liu hurriedly stepped forward and patted the window on the back seat of the car.

Tang Xuan lowered the car window helplessly, and looked at Aunt Liu outside the car window.

Aunt Liu's expression seemed to be looking at her own daughter, she almost cried, "My child, live a good life outside. You have suffered for so many years, now you should enjoy your happiness."

Tang Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xiao Zihan didn't need her to hint this time, Xiao Zihan started the car directly.

The car drove away, and finally, the ears were quiet.
