father - home

We were so absorbed in our own pleasure that we didn't pay attention to what was going on outside until someone knocked on the door. It was Mr. Reininger, the old housekeeper. Mother told us to go to the kitchen, and Jade came back.

Zhaopao entered the kitchen ahead of me, I could tell he was surprised and a little excited. "Yu'er!" Zhao called out, then stopped, and the man also stopped.

On the other side of the stove, on the other side of the huge counter, Mother, Mrs. Reininger, Wedecke, and Lily, all gathered around Jade, watching her take out bags of things from a large rucksack. .Hearing the cry, Yu turned around and smiled at us as a way of saying hello. Her work is not over yet.

"This bag is lotus seeds, this is soybeans, this is jujube, millet, barley..." Yu said while taking things out.

Mrs. Reininger opened each cloth bag curiously, reached in, and took out a handful of things inside to have a look.

"Are these things good for the stomach?" Mother asked.

"Yes, ma'am, these foods are nourishing for the stomach in our traditional Chinese medicine. Regular consumption will be of great benefit to Zhao's recovery."

"Oh." Mother nodded. "But, there are some things I haven't seen before, where did you get them?"

"It's not easy to find these things, ma'am. In Germany, only overseas Chinese, Chinese students and some Asian expatriates have a little. So, I will first inquire who has them, and then I will make a special trip to get them. You know, ma'am, this paragraph During that time, I traveled almost all over Germany, Berlin, Hamburg, Essen, Heidelberg, Dresden, but I was exhausted."

Jade spoke enthusiastically.In the current weather, in the afternoon, the temperature will rise very high. Yu's cheeks are red, and the silk shirt with pink flowers is very cool. There are also wrinkles on the body. Looking at the marks, it is left by a heavy bag that was once carried on the arm and shoulder.Wedec went to pick her up at the station, and it has been a while now, the creases on the clothes have not disappeared, have the red marks on the shoulders, arms, and body disappeared?I glanced at the things I took out of the rucksack on the table, at least it weighed more than 20 kilograms, and there was a brown medium-sized suitcase beside the table... Although in Germany, the gentleman's demeanor of "ladies first" has always been advocated, but with Traveling with so many things is indeed a hard work for a person, not to mention that Yu is a foreigner and may not always be taken care of.Thinking of this, I can't help feeling a little ashamed.Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person, Ai Zhao?I should be happy that Yu cares so much about Zhao.

"Isn't this for birds?" Mrs. Reininger's cry brought me back from my thoughts.

"Oh, this..." Mrs. Reininger showed the millet to her mother, but Yu laughed, "This is also millet, but it's not the same as the millet that birds eat. It's glutinous, and millet porridge is the most nourishing. That's right, you see, I specially found some more, and drinking a bowl of millet porridge every day is better than anything else."

"Really?" Listening to Yu's explanation, everyone nodded suspiciously.

"What else?"

"Also, look, hawthorn, chestnut, black fungus, and..." Yu took out paper packages from a bag and opened them one by one. "There are also ginseng, Poria cocos, astragalus, and licorice. Oh, yes, I also got a good thing." The girl's eyes lit up excitedly, and she was very careful when opening the paper bag.It was a strange-shaped fungus, light brown, dry, quite large, and hairy. "This is Hericium erinaceus, which is the best for treating stomach problems."

We have never seen many of the things that Yu brought back. The mushrooms are even more strange. Mrs. Reininger carefully held the paper bag in her hand and looked at it carefully. Others also looked here and there, At this time, my mother took Yu's hand and said, "Yu, it's hard for you. We have brought so many things, and we are worrying about Zhao's food. Don't say, we don't have these, and even if we did, we wouldn't make them. Don't be afraid. You're kidding, we can't even make rice porridge well. So, Yu, since you're here, I'll ask you to take care of Zhao's diet, and you don't want to leave, okay?"

"En! Ma'am!" Yu nodded vigorously, deeply moved by her mother's sincerity.

"That's great, my boy. Thank you, Jade."

"I didn't want to leave at first, ma'am, even if you drive me away, I will hold on." The atmosphere was a bit dignified, Yu joked, and at the same time was taking things out.

Regarding the last thing Yu took out, Mr. Reininger took a closer look and judged: "This should be rapeseed!"

"It's rapeseed."

"What is it?"

The rapeseed that Yu specially brought must not be common, and everyone is very curious.

"Chicken feathers, leeks, chives, and lettuce, lettuce, baby vegetables..."

Yu said the same thing, the mother had already ordered the old housekeeper to ask someone to clear out a vegetable field tomorrow, plant the rapeseed, and it would be ready to eat soon.

The kitchen has been bustling for more than an hour since Yu came back.The girl's enthusiastic and moving face; large and small cloth bags and paper bags on the table; everyone's happy and busy figure, writing labels on the cloth bags, finding airtight jars and filling them with things, such as ginseng and the like.I was also infected, the first time I learned that the discomfort when Yu came back has disappeared, I even thought, you are back, Yu, the pressure on my shoulders will be lighter, Zhao will be very happy, I am relieved to have you here .

Among the people in the room, there was only one person with serious and melancholy expression, and that was Zhao.

Yu walked towards us, looking at us in that almost challenging way, big eyes, beautiful, unblinking, with a hint of a smile.

"Good afternoon, sir!"

"Good afternoon!" I grabbed the girl's shoulders and kissed her wet and cold forehead. "It's good to have you back, Jade."

"Really?"

"real!"

Yu turned around and extended his hand to Zhao with a smile. "Hi……"

Zhao grabbed Yu's arm and pulled her out.

Others didn't notice Zhao's violent actions, but my mother did. She cast me a questioning look, and I shook my head helplessly.

Zhao's voice came from outside the door.He seldom speaks loudly, and in such a hurry.I regret that I didn't study Chinese well. I can't understand a word of their current conversation.I hesitated for a moment, but followed out.Unexpectedly, when Zhao saw me coming out, he dragged Yu into the study and closed the door behind him.

I froze outside the study door, not knowing what to do, go back to the kitchen, or wait here?My heart is pounding, I don't know what will happen next, I'm not sure about Yu Huizhao's attitude.He may not be very happy, Tai is also a little excited, after all, Yu is his compatriot and relative.He didn't want Yushen to join in, because the deeper Yu sank, the more damage he would suffer, and me, Zhao cared a lot about me, he must be worried that Yu's existence would upset me.What about me?I should be jealous of Yu, I should want her to leave Zhao far away, but no, my unhappiness has disappeared without a trace, why?After Zhao confessed frankly, sincerely, and affectionately again and again, I no longer doubt his feelings for me. I only hope that he will be taken better care of, and I welcome a girl who cares about and loves him.I don't care if the girl suffers and suffers and gets hurt.Am I being too selfish?I don't deny it, I have always been like this, I will not abuse my kindness to anyone, my heart, and my care are only reserved for those who are most important to me.

The walls and door of the study room are very soundproof, and you can't hear a little movement inside from the outside.I lit a cigarette to calm myself down.

"Marty, where's Jade?"

When I was smoking the third cigarette, my mother's voice came from behind me. I hurriedly extinguished the cigarette and replied, "What's the matter? Mom, they are in the study."

My mother hummed, and went to knock on the door of the study, while I stood there nervously, waiting.

Smoking is normal, and there is nothing to panic if my mother sees me. I don't want my mother to see me pacing and wandering in the corridor outside the study door like this.As if waiting for a verdict.What will be the verdict?What will change?Will it be different from before?

The door opened, and Yu came out with a face full of spring breeze, and Zhao behind him also had that signature spring-like smile on his face.My heart went cold, for the first time under this smile, and I realized that something had changed.
