After getting on with the enemy

The days after the ninth month of the lunar calendar pass quickly. It was just the beginning of the month, and it didn't take long for the transition to the tail. It took a few months in a blink of an eye.

It seems that the second half of the year always passes faster than the first half of the year, and the remaining period until the Spring Festival seems to have been cut off, and the sense will be shorter.

In late autumn, City A fell into a climate of more than half of the rainy days. Two or three days a week could be completely cloudy with black gray, or the sun would shine for a few hours in the morning and noon, but it would return to a lifeless look in the afternoon.

The rain is usually light rain like a thin line, the pattern is not big, but it is often accompanied by continuous wind, suddenly cool and whizzing, you must bring an extra coat when you go out, if you only have short sleeves or short skirts, you can definitely It's so cold that people wobble.

It was a good time that day, and it matched the Xijing compound at this time.Depression, deserted and lonely.

During the day, the neighbors who can be seen in the streets and alleys are getting rarer and rarer, and there are hardly many familiar figures. It seems that the whole place is more than half empty. Can't meet at night.

——I didn’t usually meet them at ordinary times. The people who still live here are all middle-aged and elderly people, or they are children left to these people to take care of. Most of the young people are not here. Ding Zuo's cattle work has basically been transferred to areas with better economic development in the Eastern District and New District. The vacancy rate around the compound is actually quite high.

I didn't feel this way before, but it was because there were young people walking around in the family, who seemed energetic and hopeful. The overall feeling seemed to have changed little, but it was not.

It has changed a long time ago. Since the large-scale construction of the new area more than ten years ago, this area has no longer been as prosperous as it was in the [-]s, and it has lost the comfort and excitement of the past.

But since the day when grandma lost her temper, the communication between Qiao and Zhou's family has gradually faded. Zhou Huiwen no longer went to Qiao's house to turn around when she was free or not, and was busy with work most of the time, dealing with the company's documents.

It's not that I don't go every time, it's just that the number of appearances is not so frequent, not as usual.

Zhou Huiwen was angry with her grandma, so she didn't mind those things, and wouldn't cause any rift or anything because of it, but she still felt a little bit uncomfortable with the line of defense in her heart.

Fearing that her grandma's words would hurt others, Xu Ziqing specially talked to Zhou Huiwen about it, saying that her grandma was old and unconscious, and asked Zhou Huiwen not to be as old as an old man.

Ms. Xu was caught in the middle, and she was in a dilemma. She was not on either side. One was her mother, and the other was a young and middle-aged sister.

Grandma must have no bad intentions, she didn't deliberately do something to force Zhou Huiwen, she just felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't hold back her emotions like an old child.

Zhou Huiwen's actions are also beyond reproach, it is not narrow-minded, and it is reasonable to alienate the Qiao family.

Furthermore, it's not that Zhou Huiwen couldn't feel Xu Ziqing's own bias. At that time, she understood Xu Ziqing's voice when she heard Xu Ziqing's voice, and knew that Xu Nushi was still very reluctant to disconnect her daughter from the bottom of her heart.

Zhou Huiwen also didn't want to influence Xu Ziqing, so she simply stayed away from here.Aunt Zhou is a pretty person, restrained and rational, and difficult to deal with.

Xu Ziqing intends to ease the relationship, but everything he does seems too deliberate, which hurts even more.

The two families stayed in a stalemate for a while, until the bamboo leaves in the courtyard fell to the ground, and the old tree at the door became beautiful.

In the end, grandma gave in and held back the anger for a while, and then she stopped mentioning those messy things.Grandma took the initiative to go to Zhou's house to see Zhou Huiwen, sent some soft stew and hoof flower soup to the door, and cared about Zhou Huiwen's diet.

Many situations are not black and white. Grandma is worried about Qiao Yan, but she still cares about Zhou Huiwen.No matter how you put it, Zhou Huiwen was like a "little girl" to her grandma, she was a junior, and she couldn't bear to watch her grow up.

Grandma knows how to compare her heart with her heart, and it is not easy for Zhou Huiwen to understand that she is indeed a bit over the top.

The old man stopped talking nonsense. Seeing that Zhou Huiwen looked haggard and thinner, he cared for Zhou Huiwen more, and told Zhou Huiwen not to think too much, and not to worry about the problems that had happened. Look away.

The sincere persuasion, without the slightest selfishness, is all for the good of Zhou Huiwen.

Maybe it was moved by grandma's kindness and kindness, and she was sincere and not fake, Zhou Huiwen's attitude gradually softened.

The mother came here as a daughter, and the older generation in the Zhou family has long since disappeared. For so many years, my grandma has done for the Zhou family what the older generation often did, and treated Zhou Huiwen like Xu Ziqing. Sometimes I just go out for a walk to buy some food, and when I come back, I will share some with Zhou's family, not to mention that Zhou Huiwen often travels on business in the past years, and the old man helps to look after the house and children without asking for anything in return.

Zhou Huiwen has always been grateful and respectful to her grandma, and treats her as her own elder, and will not seriously complain about it, and just walk down the steps here.

Xu Ziqing couldn't get involved, she didn't say anything on the surface, and she did what she should, but after seeing Zhou Huiwen's attitude improved, she was relieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but miss Qiao Yan.

How can I be completely upset, I haven't seen Qiao Yan for so long, and I still miss my daughter more or less.

Grandma is right in some words, no matter what they admit

If you don't admit it, whether it's Xu Ziqing or Zhou Huiwen, it's an indisputable fact that no matter how cruel your actions are on the surface, you can't let go of your child.

Zhou Huiwen also tried to coerce Zhou Xiyun secretly, just to suppress the economy a little bit, but in the end he couldn't do anything ruthless.

It's not just that he couldn't keep going. After finding out that Zhou Xiyun had sold most of the investment under his name because of the pressure from here, Zhou Huiwen stopped after a while, and didn't drive Zhou Xiyun to the desperate situation.

Many methods in the business field are disgraceful, and it is fine to use them on competitors when necessary. It is really unnecessary to force a young girl who has just established her footing like this.

He can't do that kind of dirty thing out of emotion and reason, it's too bad.

After the relationship between the two families eased again, the matter of the daughters was put on hold again, and no one talked about it.

Qiao Yan still sneaked back here to visit, thinking that she was doing it very well, every time she came here, she would stand from a distance and look at the compound, and then leave quietly when she found everything was fine.

The same is true for Zhou Xiyun, who recently changed to a cheap domestic car worth 10,000+ and drove around as usual on his way to get off work.

The alley in Xijing compound is wide, and there is no wall between the houses. This man can still pass by the door of the house by detour, and he can do it directly by entering the alley and turning a corner.

Elder Ren saw through and didn't tell the truth, and occasionally knew which of the two of them had come back, and Zhou Huiwen even caught Zhou Xiyun driving by the door twice, but the three of them pretended not to know.

Grandma sighed, her mood for drinking tea was gone, and every time she learned that Qiao Yan had returned, she couldn't eat, and she lost her appetite.

After a while, it suddenly came to the beginning of winter.

The temperature continues to drop, and the weather turns cold. It is no longer possible to wear single clothes. Those who are afraid of the cold outside have wrapped in thin cotton clothes and down jackets in advance, and they are ready for winter when they arrive.

In previous years, Qiao’s family would stew soft and sticky elbows and other meat to eat on this day of winter. The intention is to put on fat to resist freezing and eat more to keep the body warm. The family’s favorite is winter, and they will gather around a table to eat delicious food at this time of year nice drink.

But this year is not enough, Qiao Yan can't come back, and the two elders don't plan to make a big meal with stewed meat, so they just make do with it in the winter night, simply stir-fry two hard vegetables with an egg drop soup and it's over.

Of course, this time I still call Zhou Huiwen to come over for a reunion, and don't let Zhou Huiwen stay alone.

Grandma couldn't eat a mouthful of rice, but she had no appetite when she picked up the chopsticks, and it was over after drinking a small bowl of soup.

She put on a symbolic gesture, not to put pressure on the two mothers, but she still couldn't hide the disappointment inside, and the sad look on her face was even more worrying.

Zhou Huiwen didn't move her chopsticks much, picked up the food twice, and only ate white rice afterwards.

What does a table of dishes look like when they are served, and they are still the same after eating, and they didn't eat much at all.

The lights in the two houses were turned off early, and it was dark before ten o'clock.

Everyone couldn't even get excited about chatting, so they simply went back to their respective rooms to rest, so as not to waste energy.

In the middle of the night, a car stopped at the entrance of the alley and appeared in the dark.

Qiao Yan came back, but instead of disturbing the elders, he came here to deliver things. He walked over from the alley with two large boxes of things, and together with Zhou Xiyun, they put them at the gates of Qiao's house and Zhou's house respectively.

Knowing that coming during the day would definitely be unpleasant, and most likely there would be disputes again, they could only choose to come at this time.

In the box are some dishes made by Zhou Xiyun, as well as the dry ingredients I bought, and the European buns my grandma likes.They all packed it carefully, no matter whether the elders accept it or not, in short, there is nothing less to prepare.

After coming here for less than 10 minutes, they left again. Like thieves, the two didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear of being discovered, they quickly walked out of the alley quietly and returned to the car.

Early the next morning, both families found those things.

Grandma was the first to open the door and come out. The old man felt tired and cooked porridge in the morning. When he opened the door and saw a box full of wishes, grandma immediately felt very uncomfortable and felt very uncomfortable.

Zhou Huiwen only saw it when she was about to go out to the company, but unlike her grandma, Aunt Zhou was not immediately moved, let alone moved the things into the house. When she found out who sent it, she just went straight closed.

If you don't see it, don't accept it.

That box stood alone outside for a day, like discarded garbage.

Thanks to the fact that there are few people here, the outside of the cardboard box is inconspicuous, but the contents inside were still there until dark and were not stolen.

The next day, the cardboard box was moved into the house, and it was too obtrusive to take up space at the door, so I had to make room for another location.

There are two in everything, and it is not difficult to do it again.

On the eve of the winter solstice, boxes were placed at the gates of the two families again, and Elder Ren received the winter solstice gift one day in advance.

The winter solstice tradition in City A is to drink mutton soup, which is prepared in the box. There are three thermos buckets in total, and each bucket is full of soup and meat.

This thing is difficult to handle, and the two young people put in a lot of energy to make it, and it took a long time in the small villa to make it.

Rao is as hard-hearted as Zhou Huiwen, on the day he received the mutton soup, he still couldn't describe how it tasted.

At that time, Zhou Huiwen's secretary was also there. Seeing so many things piled up in cardboard boxes, she thought they were packed up and thrown outside.The secretary was diligent, and thoughtfully expressed that he could help move out and lose it later, without Zhou Huiwen personally struggling.

Zhou Huiwen remained silent, staring at the thermos for a long time in silence, the corner of her mouth moved, and said in a flat tone: "Just put it here, keep it."

The secretary looked puzzled and didn't understand which song was sung, but she still responded quickly recently.

Zhou Huiwen didn't eat the bucket of mutton soup, and didn't even touch it when it was cold.Just leave it there without opening it.
