Chapter 184: Called mother (two more) (1/2)

Chapter 184 Called Niang (two more)

”Come in.” Zhen Ping said with a smirk, turning sideways to lead the way for the Yao family.

Yao’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and she didn’t even bring her with her.

She stepped into the yard.

She is not coming, Zhen Ping is apprehensive, she is here, Zhen Ping is even more apprehensive.

There is no other reason, the yard is too crude.

Yao’s face is nothing unusual.

If he knew that the Yao family had been to a yard more rudimentary than this, and her biological daughter, son-in-law, and son had lived there, he would understand why Yao family was so calm.

Zhen Ping welcomed Yao into the hall, and said nervously and excitedly: ”There is no hot tea, wait, I will let Yuexiu make a pot.”

”Is her name Yuexiu?” Yao Shi looked at him and asked.

Zhen Ping was taken aback, and he was so bored that he confided his wife's name. He felt that this was not a good idea, but he said it all, and he couldn't take it back.

He bit the bullet and said: ”Yes, Yuexiu, not from Beijing, but from other places to do business in Beijing.”

”The person is very nice.” Yao said.

Zhen Ping didn't know how to pick up these words. After a moment of embarrassment, he suddenly remembered what was going on, and said to Yao: ”My mother is in the next room. I will take you there. The home is really simple and neglected... I didn't expect you. I will come... I'm glad you came...”

Zhen Pingyu is incoherent.

Yao wants to say that you don’t need to be nervous.

Zhen Ping opened the thick cloth curtain, let Yao Shi enter the house first, Yao Shi bent over slightly, and walked under the curtain he kicked up.

This is the first time after more than ten years that the two of them are so close. The tip of Zhen Ping’s nose is full of her breath, but Zhen Ping did not let himself lose his temper. He tried to hold himself up high and didn’t touch it. To her.

After Mr. Yao entered the house, he also entered the house.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

I had a stroke a year ago. It’s easy to get a taste after lying down for so long, but there is no room in this room. It can be seen that the husband and wife have taken good care of the elderly.

The old lady Zhen was lying on the hospital bed with gray hair and pale face, looking like a withered.

Yao’s memory was suddenly pulled back more than ten years ago. Mrs. Zhen was a very pungent temperament. She worked harder than a man. Who could have expected that she would be lying dying in a hospital bed like this one day.

She groaned but not a word, as if she was enduring great pain.

Yao did not dare to look at the second eye again, and quickly lowered his eyes, his nose was sour.

Zhen Ping came to the bed, leaned over and gently touched his mother's forehead, and said, ”Mother, who do you think is here?”

”Yeah...” Mrs. Zhen dazedly looked in the direction Zhen Ping was pointing, and her turbid old eyes burst into surprise, ”Yao'er... Yaoer...”

Yao took a deep breath, held back his tears, walked over as usual, smiled slightly: ”Old lady, it's me.”

Old Madam Zhen stretched out her hand, wanting to sit up and take a good look at Yao.

Yao sat down by the bed, moved to her, and said, “Don’t get up, it’s snowing today and it’s very cold.”

”Yao'er still loves me.” Mrs. Zhen said hoarsely. After the stroke, she was a little slurred, but she was also very happy.

Yao married into the Hou Mansion at the age of seventeen, and gave birth to Gu Jiao and Gu Yan at the age of eighteen. Fifteen years have passed, and now he is only thirty-three.

Years and years treated her very preferentially, leaving no traces on her face, except for the innocence and youthfulness of a girl in her eyes, but these are nothing for Mrs. Zhen.

Old Madam Zhen took Yao’s hand, joyously like a child: ”Are you married in peace?”

Yao was startled, turned his head, and looked at Zhen Ping unclearly.

Zhen Ping whispered: ”My mother is suffering from dementia, and I remember many things, or I can't remember clearly.”

Yao knows that it is easy for people to get older.

Yao looked at Mrs. Zhen’s expectant eyes and nodded: ”Yes, we are married.”

Zhen Ping said for a while, her eyes were red.

The old lady Zhen suddenly smiled like a child.

In fact, Mrs. Zhen is not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Yuexiu. In recent years, Yuexiu has been with her husband and son, serving in-laws, working hard and not complaining, and she is a little dull, but her conscience is not a challenge.

It’s just that Mrs. Zhen knew the Yao family first. She never thought that the marriage between her son and the Yao family would be drastically changed. She had taken the Yao family as a daughter-in-law in her heart.

In addition, one year old Mrs. Zhen fell off the ladder and was seriously injured. It coincided with Zhen Ping's exit from the country test. In order to prevent Zhen Ping from being distracted, the Yao family secretly came out of the Yao family to take care of Mrs. Zhen every day.

The two are not mother and daughter, but they are better than mother and daughter.

Later, the Yao family came over and retired. Mrs. Zhen felt more sad than her son.

This matter has become her long-cherished wish. She can't bear to mention it on weekdays. After changing into dementia, she can't help it. She talks about Yao'er all the time. Why haven't you married Yao'er home?

”Then you can't be called the old lady, you should change your name to the mother!” said Mrs. Zhen like an old child, with a serious face.

Yao choked and nodded: ”Yes, mother.”

Zhen Ping turned her back and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

”Hey!” Mrs. Zhen smiled happily.

Yao put her skinny old hand in the quilt: ”Beware of catching cold.”

”I'm not cold.” Mrs. Zhen said with a smile. Thinking of something, she raised her right hand with difficulty and turned over the pillow on the left.

”What do you want? I'll help you.” Yao stood up and said.

”Box, there...a box is pressed down there.” Mrs. Zhen said laboriously.

A simple action almost squeezed all her strength.

Yao leaned over and took out a small flat box from the left end of the pillow.

This box has been around for some years. It was carved with a pattern from more than ten years ago, and the paint on the top has also fallen off. It can be seen that Mrs. Zhen often takes it out on weekdays.

Old Mrs. Zhen took the box.

Her hands trembled very much, so she still insisted on opening it by herself.

Inside    is a pair of gold bracelets.

Color is excellent.

The style is very old.

The old lady Zhen tremblingly picked up the bracelet and pulled Yao's hand, but it was too trembling and didn't take it with it for a while.

Yao saw the sweat on her forehead coming out.

”Mother, let me do it,” she said.

”Okay.” Mrs. Zhen finally put the bracelet on the Yao family, ”I told you that it was given to you when you got married. The family conditions are not good and you are wronged.”

Zhen Ping failed in the provincial examination, and since then he has been in depression. He has not passed the examination for many years. Later, he figured it out and gave up the road of imperial examination.

This set of head and face was prepared by Mrs. Zhen more than ten years ago. She took all her dowry head and face to the shop and melted it, and put on a pair of gold bracelets with Yao's boudoir's name-Yao engraved on it.

This bracelet has been lying on Mrs. Zhen’s pillow for more than ten years, and Mrs. Zhen took it out and touched it when it was okay.

Zhen Ping always knew that his mother had a very precious box, but didn't know that it was actually a wedding gift for the Yao family.

Of course, when Yuexiu passed the door, Mrs. Zhen did not treat her badly. She borrowed money to buy a pair of golden noodles for Yuexiu.
