Wu's mother stayed in the hospital for more than half a month. When her condition was under control, she clamored to go back. But she had no choice but to take her back to Wu Peng's house.
Wu's mother clamored to go back when her health got better. Wu's father had no choice but to obey her.
As soon as the summer vacation was over, Wu Zhengqing took Miaomiao to Brother Wu's place to visit Wu's mother.
Everyone in the Wu family was very surprised to see Miaomiao. After four years of not seeing each other, Miaomiao has grown into a tall and graceful girl with a very good temperament. Wu Qianqian, who is more than one year younger than her, looks like two people standing together with her.
people of the world.
People in the Wu family were very enthusiastic towards Miaomiao, especially Wu's mother who liked Miaomiao so much when she saw her that she kept giving her food.
Miao Miao's attitude was as cold as four years ago, and she found it very ridiculous to see Wu Mu's care and love. When she was a child, she didn't take her seriously, and only had eyes for her grandson. Now, what are you doing asking for help? Acting!
Miaomiao was very polite to other members of the Wu family, but her excessive politeness seemed unfamiliar.
Wu's father also liked this beautiful and polite granddaughter very much. Like Wu's mother, he hoped that Miaomiao could stay for a few more days.
Wu Zhengqing looked at his mother, who was so thin that she was just a skeleton, and felt very sad, but this matter was not something he could decide: "Let me ask Miaomiao."
The results are self-evident. Miaomiao doesn't like Wu Mu, and she doesn't want to have too much contact with people from the Wu family. To her, they are almost like strangers.
In the end, we stayed there for two days and then went back as we had agreed in advance.
When leaving, Wu Mu held Miaomiao's hand and cried, "Miaomiao, can you come and see grandma after you finish the competition?"
Miaomiao did not soften her heart just because she was crying pitifully. She said with a cold expression: "I will train even more after the competition. I will come to see you again after the Chinese New Year."
In fact, she can rest for half a month after the competition, and she plans to accompany Tian Dalin and Li Guihua. Although she can talk on the phone every now and then, she still misses them.
Wu's mother cried and said: "Miaomiao, the doctor said that grandma may not survive the New Year. Miaomiao, when you compete, can I go and see you?"
Miaomiao looked at her thin and disfigured face, and after a moment of silence she said, "I'm going to compete abroad, and you can't go."
Wu's mother was surprised. She looked at Wu Zhengqing, saw him nodding and said excitedly: "My Miaomiao is so good? She can actually go abroad to compete with those foreigners."
Miaomiao said: "You may not win a prize."
Wu Mu felt that even if she couldn't win the prize, being able to compete would mean she was outstanding: "Miaomiao, when grandma misses you, can you call me?"
Miaomiao still refused. She felt that her mother probably didn't want to hear Wu's mother's voice, otherwise she wouldn't have remarried her father until now.
Li Guihua leaked the news a year ago, and Miaomiao realized that Sanya had lied to her when she said she was remarried. However, after staying in Hong Kong City for so many years and being older, she felt that this way of getting along with her parents was more relaxed and comfortable, so she didn't remarry.
It's nothing.
Miaomiao went back to the house to pack her things.
Wu's mother secretly wept and said, "This child didn't even have a smile on his face from the moment he walked in until he left. Does this mean he blames me?"
Wu Zhengqing said: "Mom, I have already explained to Miaomiao that the main problem in the divorce was me. She is not familiar with the family, so she is so polite."
Wu Mu wiped her tears and said, "Zhengqing, can you bring Miaomiao back more often in the future?"
Wu Zhengqing shook his head and said, "No, Miao Miao has a heavy workload, and then she has to make time to practice dancing."
"Then let Miaomiao come back during the Chinese New Year, and our family will have a reunion New Year."
Thinking about the doctor saying that Wu Mu's time was short, Wu Zhengqing nodded and agreed. But what he didn't expect was that when he mentioned the matter to Miaomiao in the twelfth lunar month, Miaomiao refused.
Miaomiao said: "I want to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents and aunt."
Why go to your grandma’s place to celebrate the Chinese New Year? You don’t know anyone, and you stare at them with big eyes and small eyes. It’s so embarrassing.
Wu Zhengqing said that Wu's mother was getting weaker and weaker. He said: "Your grandma is almost at the end of her life and may leave at any time. Can you grant her wish?"
Miaomiao was unmoved and said with an indifferent expression: "Dad, she didn't care about me before. Why should I go to her place to make her happy now? Dad, I will visit her after the New Year. It is impossible to go to her place to celebrate the New Year."
She has no feelings for Wu Mu, so being able to visit her is already the biggest concession. She has no interest in pretending to be a filial granddaughter. Now that she misses her, why did she go there in the first place?
When they returned to Sijiucheng, Miaomiao and Tian Shao complained: "Auntie, why do you think she always says she misses me and wants to see me? I'm not familiar with her?"
She actually didn't want to see Wu Mu, she looked too scary. It would be nice to go and visit, so she was happy to stay with her all day long, as she was worried about having nightmares.
Tian Shao didn't say anything bad about Wu Mu, there was no need: "If you want to go, just go. If you don't want to go, just find an excuse to get rid of it. There's no need to worry."
After listening to her words, Miaomiao, who was in the second grade of junior high school, took Sanya to travel to Hai Province.
Wu Zhengqing went to pick them up but was in vain. Seeing that his daughter rejected Wu Mu so much, he had nothing to do.
Before school started, mother and daughter returned to Hong Kong City.
After the first lunar month, Wu's mother's condition worsened further. The doctor in charge said that her life had entered a countdown and asked Wu's mother to do whatever she wished for without leaving any regrets.
Big Brother Wu, Second Brother Wu and their children are all here, and now only Miaomiao is missing from the Wu family.
Wu Zhengqing called Miaomiao to come back.
Miaomiao didn't want to come back and said that she had a very important dance competition next month. If she passed it, she would be one step closer to her dream university.
If you have to choose between your future and your grandma who has no feelings, you must choose your future.
Wu Zhengqing was very sad and said: "Miaomiao, the doctor said your grandma will only be alive for a few days. Miaomiao, please come back and see your grandma one last time!"
Miaomiao hesitated: "Let me think about it."
Turning around, she went to ask Sanya for her opinion.
Sanya means to go back: "No matter what, she is your grandmother. She is going to die soon. She wants to see you before she dies. If you don't go, you will be called cruel in the future."
"When she disliked me so much, why didn't anyone say she was cruel? Also, mom, I don't know those people, so nothing I say can affect them."
Seeing that she couldn't be convinced, Sanya thought for a moment and said, "Miaomiao, you really should go. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt."
Tian Shao went out to do errands and was not at home.
After thinking about it, Miaomiao called Liuya, but when she heard that she was in the laboratory and couldn't answer the phone, she had to call Siya.
Si Ya had the same opinion as San Ya and said: "Miaomiao, if your grandma is just sick, you don't have to go, but she is dying now and she said she wants to see you, so you must go this time."
Miaomiao was silent for a moment and said: "Fourth Aunt, I don't want to go, I think she is scary."
Si Ya said: "Miaomiao, if you become a famous dancer in the future, someone may use this to criticize you, which is not worthwhile."
"Don't have any psychological burden. Go to the hospital to see her and then go back. Your grandparents haven't seen you for such a long time and miss you very much."
"good."
Miaomiao hung up the phone, packed up her things, crossed the sea, and bought a plane ticket for the next day.
In the evening, Miaomiao called Tian Shao and told her that she was going back to Sijiucheng to see Wu's mother.
Tian Shao also had the same idea as Si Ya: "If you don't go, you will be scolded by others, so I have to go this time. But if she makes a request, she will refuse it no matter what it is."
"What can she ask of me?"
Tian Shao didn't explain, but just said: "It's best if I don't ask you for anything. If I ask you, don't agree."
"I will definitely not agree."
Wu Zhengqing was very happy to know that Miaomiao had bought the ticket, and turned around to tell the Wu family the good news.
The next day, Wu Zhengqing picked up Miaomiao at the airport. Looking at her tired face, he asked: "Did you not get enough rest?"
Miaomiao nodded and said: "That bed is not comfortable to sleep on. The two people next to me on the plane kept chatting and couldn't catch up on sleep. Dad, can I take a nap first before going to see grandma?"
Wu Zhengqing touched her head and said, "It's okay, my Miaomiao is always the most beautiful."
When they arrived at the hospital, Wu's mother held Miaomiao's hand tightly as soon as she saw her: "Miaomiao, you are finally back."
Miaomiao looked at Wu Mu strangely again, and she didn't know how much she thought she hurt her! But thinking that her life had entered a countdown, Miaomiao did not take her hand out in the end, but sat there and listened to her words.
Just listening to it, Miaomiao felt something was wrong.
Wu Mu solemnly said: "Miaomiao, you are the eldest sister. From now on, you should help your younger brothers and sisters more."
Wu Zhengqing's expression changed when he heard this.
Miaomiao asked strangely: "Grandma, why do you want me to help them? Why should I help them?"
She has only met several cousins several times, so they are better than strangers. Not to mention having no feelings, even if they have deep feelings, they cannot make such unreasonable demands.
Wu Mu meant that Miaomiao had no siblings, so she should work together with her cousins, so that no one would dare to bully her in the future: "You help your younger siblings first, and they will help you in the future."
Miaomiao frowned and said, "Grandma, I don't need their help; similarly, I won't help them."
"Miaomiao, grandma is doing this for your own good."
Miaomiao said angrily: "It's not necessary, and I can't afford it."
Wu Mu coughed violently.
Seeing this, Wu's father called Miaomiao out of the room and expressed the hope that she would comply with Wu's mother's request first: "Miaomiao, I'm just doing this to make your grandma feel more at ease when she leaves. I don't really want you to help Qianqian."
Their."
Wu Zhengqing walked out and said unhappily: "Dad, Miaomiao is still a child, what can you do to help Qianqian and the others? Dad, this request is too outrageous."
Father Wu said with a straight face: "Your mother is like this, can't you let her go in peace?"
Wu Zhengqing was also very angry and said: "Dad, if Miaomiao agrees, what if Wu Bo, Wu Peng and others come to ask for help in the future?"
"If Miaomiao refuses, they can then accuse her of being dishonest and violating grandma's last words."
Father Wu felt that he was thinking too much: "Your mother just thinks that Miaomiao is the eldest sister and wants her to take care of her younger brothers and sisters."
Wu Zhengqing said unceremoniously: "I thought too little before, so I ended up with my wife and children. If I don't think too much now, my daughter will be separated from me, and I will be really lonely and helpless when I grow old."
.”
It would make sense if he was told to take care of his nieces and nephews in the future. But Miaomiao was still a child and still needed the care of her parents. Her mother told her this because she obviously felt that Miaomiao would be promising in the future, so she wanted her to help Wu Bo and Wu Peng.
Wu's father knew that there was no point in talking anymore, so he sighed and returned to the ward.
Looking at her expression, Mother Wu knew that both father and daughter disagreed. She murmured to herself: "Why, why are you so cruel?"
At about nine o'clock that night, Mother Wu left. As soon as the doctor said that Mother Wu was gone, everyone burst into tears.
Miaomiao was puzzled when she saw Sister Wu and Qianqian crying sadly. Grandma said that none of the girls in the family liked grandma, so why did she cry so sadly? Could it be that grandma made a mistake?
After Wu's mother's ashes were cremated, Wu's father took her home for the funeral. Although Miaomiao resisted this from the bottom of her heart, she still followed her obediently in the end.
It took a week before and after the funeral. After Wu Mu was buried, she couldn't wait to return to Hong Kong City.
As soon as she got home, Miaomiao told Sanya about Wu Mu's last request.
Sanya was furious after hearing this. She thought Wu Mu's conscience had revealed that she really owed Miaomiao. But she didn't expect that nothing had changed at all. She was planning for her two grandsons!
Seeing her angry look, Miaomiao hugged her and said, "Mom, you were angry, dad helped me to stop you."
Speaking of this, she said with admiration: "Before I went to the hospital, my aunt told me not to agree to grandma's unreasonable requests. I didn't understand it at the time, but later I found out that she was afraid that grandma would plot against me.
..”
She felt that her aunt was able to calculate and predict the situation early, which was really amazing.
Sanya knew that Tian Shao was not capable of pinching and calculating, but that Wu Mu was partial and paranoid.
Originally, Sanya planned to remarry Wu Zhengqing after Wu's mother's funeral was over. But what happened before Wu's mother died made her dare not remarry Wu Zhengqing.
After much thought, Sanya finally told the truth to Wu Zhengqing: "I don't think it's appropriate to remarry now."
Before, she thought that the biggest obstacle between the two of them was gone, so she took some time to go through the remarriage procedures with Wu Zhengqing. Now, she doesn't want to go through it anymore.
Wu Zhengqing was dumbfounded: "Why is it inappropriate?"
Sanya made an excuse casually: "I feel very comfortable with the way we get along now and don't want to change."
If she doesn't remarry, she is just Wu Zhengqing's girlfriend and can separate at any time. As for the Wu family members, she can completely ignore them. But if she remarries, it will be different. Not only will she have to deal with the Wu family members, but she will also have to take care of Wu's father when he becomes ill in the future.
The latter one is the key point.
Wu Zhengqing tried to persuade her: "But our reputation is not justified."
"Your colleagues all think that we have remarried. What's wrong with our reputation? No one will be so full that they go to check whether we have obtained the certificate."
"Of course, if you don't like this way of getting along, don't force it. You're not too old now, so it will be easy to find him again."
