Double Life: My whole world is you

"Mom, how many times have you made this excuse since we were little?" Weiwei stared at her and asked, "How long has it been since we sat down and had a good meal?"

"Why do I work so hard? It's also for this family!" Cheng Gu said aggrievedly with red eyes.

"Yes, we know you work hard, and my sister and I will help you if we can." Weiwei also looked aggrieved, "But have you ever thought about it? Since I went to school, we haven't had a good meal together as a family. You work until New Year's Eve every year, and go back to the countryside early on the first day of the New Year. You come here on the second day of the New Year, and you go back to Chengjiawan on the third day of the New Year. You come here on the fourth day of the New Year, and it starts all over again on the fifth day. Mom, it's been ten years. Can you go back early today to have a New Year's Eve dinner? Please."

Weiwei burst into tears after she finished speaking. Cheng Gu was a little relieved after hearing this, but at this time the phone rang again. She immediately put on a flattering smile, "Okay, don't worry, it will be delivered in half an hour." After hanging up the phone, she said to the three people, "Hurry up and fix it, the mahjong room is urging us again."

"Alas!" Cheng Qiao sighed softly, picked up another horseshoe and started to repair it. She kept telling herself in her heart that she must go around it tomorrow and not come over no matter what. This belief must be firm, because she still has to wait for Yan Di to come back for dinner tomorrow night!

Cheng Qiao was planning in her mind, but in reality, Weiwei stood up, kicked the frame beside her, and left angrily. Cheng Gu chased after him loudly for a few steps, but when she saw that Weiwei didn't come back, someone else was buying something, so she had no choice but to go back.

Cheng Qiao and Cheng Zhu looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads to continue the work at hand. It was already 7:30 in the evening. In fact, Cheng Qiao could have taken Cheng Zhu away, but the kindness in her heart and the love for her blood relatives made her sit down and accompany Cheng Gu to repair the work with Cheng Zhu until 10:30 in the evening. Cheng Gu was a little apologetic and took out fifty yuan from her wallet and handed it to the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work today. Go buy some food and come to help me in the next few days."

Cheng Qiao held Cheng Zhu and said, "Aunt, we are a family, and it is our duty to help each other. I won't charge you for it."

Cheng Gu pushed forward, and Cheng Qiao firmly refused twice before saying, "Aunt, we have to go back to visit grandma tomorrow. We can't come in the next few days. Sorry."

Cheng Qiao didn't wait for Cheng Gu to respond, and took Cheng Zhu into the community. When they were almost at the door of the unit, Cheng Zhu turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one. He asked, "Sister, are we really going back to visit grandma today?"

"I'll be back in a few days." Cheng Qiao saw Cheng Zhu was a little confused, so she explained before going up the stairs, "Your brother Xiao Di will be back tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, her face slightly reddened and she quickly ran towards the stairs. Chengzhu chased after her until they reached the door of their house. Chengzhu ran over panting and asked in confusion, "Sister, why are you running so fast?!"

Cheng Qiao regained his composure and replied calmly, "I'm tired and want to rest early."

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar calendar, Cheng Qiao slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, it was already 9:30 in the morning. She picked up a book and read it in bed for an hour before getting up. At noon, Cheng Qiao packed the meal and asked Cheng Zhu to deliver it, and then pick up Xiaoyanzi and Yangyang. Before leaving, Cheng Qiao came out and said, "Brother, these two are the meals for mom and aunt. You must not go to aunt's place."

Chengzhu still hesitated a little, but finally nodded.

After doing homework for two hours at home in the afternoon, Cheng Qiao took her brothers and sisters to the supermarket to buy things, and then went to the dumpling restaurant to pick up her mobile phone. After arriving home, Cheng Qiao sent a message to Zhang Yandi anxiously. [Yandi, have you got off the train?]

Zhang Yandi also quickly replied, [Coincidentally, it’s almost there, there are still two more stations. ]

[Okay, I'll prepare the meal now.] Cheng Qiao put down her phone and happily began to prepare the meal while humming a song.

When Zhang Yandi arrived home, Cheng Qiao was cooking pork liver paste in the kitchen. Hearing his familiar and warm voice, Cheng Qiao called out, "Qiao."

Cheng Qiao looked back happily, and when she turned around she saw Zhang Yan Di standing half a meter away from her. She suppressed her inner impulse and said with a smile, "Yan Di, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back." Zhang Yandi responded gently.

"Go put your things away quickly, it's time to eat." Cheng Qiao said as she pushed him out. Seeing that his door was closed, she asked curiously, "Yan Di, where is Uncle Zhang?"

"He had some things to do at the factory and was in a hurry to go back," Zhang Yandi introduced.

"Okay, come and eat after you put everything away!" Cheng Qiao said happily and called her brothers and sisters to prepare bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs.

Zhang Yandi looked at the six dishes and one soup and gave her a thumbs up, "Very good, with good color, aroma and taste."

"Brother Xiaodi, I think yours tastes better." Cheng Zhu said after taking a few bites, "The seasoning my sister puts in is always not quite right, sometimes it's too salty, and sometimes it's too bland."

Cheng Qiao glared at him in pretended anger, and Zhang Yandi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cook more dishes from now on."

"Okay, I'll help you wash the vegetables and dishes." Cheng Zhu also said quickly.

"I can help too." Yangyang said quickly.

Although there were several children at home, the atmosphere was harmonious. After dinner, Cheng Zhu delivered the meal, Zhang Yandi washed the dishes, and Cheng Qiao took Yangyang and Xiaoyanzi to clean the living room. After finishing the work, Cheng Qiao heated two hot water bottles for Yangyang and Xiaoyanzi. But as soon as she sat down, Zhang Yandi went home and brought her a bag of hot packs and a bag of snacks.

In the days with Zhang Yandi, Cheng Qiao lived a peaceful and fulfilling life. In a blink of an eye, it was the 28th day of the lunar calendar. This day was Zhang Yandi's birthday, and it was also his adult birthday. Although she didn't set the alarm clock, Cheng Qiao got up early. After a simple wash, she started to prepare breakfast. In addition to preparing milk for everyone, she also prepared 18-year-old looks with ham and eggs, as well as pancakes for everyone.

When Zhang Yandi saw this, his heart was warm and his eyes were full of emotion, but Cheng's mother accompanied him throughout the whole process. He didn't dare to say anything more except saying thank you with a smile.

Cheng's mother stayed at home until Zhang's father came over at half past ten. Then she slapped her forehead and said, "I'm going to the store."

Cheng Qiao shook her head in amusement, complaining in her heart, "My mom's acting is too bad."

At noon, Zhang's father invited a few friends to a private room in the Yunhua Hotel across the street. Cheng Qiao was about to call a few friends in the city. At this time, Wu Qi called and said excitedly, "Wait for me. I will come back tonight to celebrate Yan Di's birthday as an adult."

So they didn't invite their classmates at noon. After lunch, Cheng Qiao and Zhang Yandi wanted to go for a bike ride, but Cheng's mother borrowed a bike from next door and asked Cheng Zhu to go with them. Cheng Qiao and Zhang Yandi didn't care. They didn't have any plans. It was just that Wu Qi came back earlier than they thought. He called Zhang Yandi at 4:15, "Yandi, where are you?"
