Mrs. Li still felt embarrassed to let her son worry about her mother's childbirth. She also knew her son's worries, and felt a little sour in her heart: "I'm letting Erlang worry about it."
The remaining Mrs. Li didn't know how to speak, but when it came to trust, at the critical moment, Mrs. Li actually trusted her son more, there was no doubt about it.
Mother and son, why are we so estranged from each other? Zhou Lan said: "Mom, you are well, that's the most important thing. Don't think too much about the rest."
When Mr. Li came over, he saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was neither awkward nor embarrassing. Speaking of Zhou Lan, a junior, Mr. Li really liked him, but it was a pity that he never got close to her.
Mr. Li can see that Madam is more comfortable getting along with her daughter than with her own son.
Mr. Li took Zhou Lan to talk, very intimately: "Erlang must be worried about his mother and is not at ease."
Zhou Lan cupped her hands and said, "My uncle has to worry about mother. Uncle, my nephew will come over to bother me when my mother is giving birth."
After hearing this, Mr. Li immediately nodded and said, "It's your mother's blessing that Erlang can come over. Why bother?"
Mr. Li said sincerely: "There are not so many messy things in our house, and the population is simple. If Chang Xi hadn't been pregnant and inconvenient, I would have brought Chang Xi over to keep your sister company. Now that Erlang can come, it's really great
It's great, we and I can be companions, I feel really at ease."
Following Master Li, he talked to Zhou Lan about some emergency preparations in the house: "Uncles such as midwives, doctors, and doctors have all thought of it. Your sister is too young to do anything. Over in the inner house, I invited your aunt to come over to help, and Erlang will
Do not worry."
Zhou Lan listened very seriously, and finally nodded in agreement, and cupped her hands in front of Mr. Li, feeling very attentive. When her father was still alive, he should have treated her mother like this.
Mr. Li then said: "When your mother gives birth, these people will be sent to your house to watch and be happy, so that your mother and I can rest assured."
So you see, when people say the same thing, it makes people feel so comfortable. People don’t ask you if you use it, they just plan it that way.
Zhou Lan cupped his hand again: "My nephew is not as polite as my uncle. No matter how much preparation my wife makes, my nephew will not feel at ease."
Then he said: "I am not afraid of uncle's jokes. My nephew has good doctors and midwives in his own house. However, my father-in-law and mother-in-law still hired experienced midwives from Baoding Mansion. Even my nephew feels uneasy."
Uncle Li laughed heartily, and Erlang's refusal was heart-warming: "You are young and inexperienced, so it is inevitable to feel uneasy. As long as we are fully prepared, there will be no problem."
He even comforted Zhou Lan: "Erlang, Erlang and his wife are all lucky people, so don't worry too much. Whenever there is need, uncle, you will always be there for me."
Mr. Li is so forthright in his promise. It is hard not to like such a person.
At least Zhou Lan had no objections to this uncle. And getting along with him was much easier than getting along with his own mother.
They were already on official duty, so Mr. Li couldn't give Zhou Lan a red envelope like Mr. Jiang San and his wife, but he still prepared something for Zhou Lan during the Chinese New Year.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lan accepted it generously, which made Master Li very happy.
In fact, Zhou Lan was used to receiving them at home, so he really didn't feel any difference from the original ones. The main reason was that the gifts given by Mr. Li were what he wanted, not out of the ordinary, and just right.
When Zhou Lan said goodbye, Mrs. Li walked to the gate, but the two of them really had nothing special to explain.
This is a purely New Year's greeting.
Since he was in the capital, Zhou Lan stopped by the Lin Mansion to visit. Uncle Lin was still happy to see his nephew.
Unfortunately, Zhou Lan just sat there for a while and then left.
Aunt Lin also advised Uncle Lin: "We live close by and it's convenient to walk back and forth. During the Chinese New Year, Erlang must have a lot of places to move around. Don't even think about tying up your nephew."
Uncle Lin laughed and said, "That's right. Erlang just said that he came here from his sister."
When Zhou Lan returned home, Mr. Jiang San and his wife had already returned home and brought back a cart full of goodies prepared by Master Qi for his granddaughter.
You can really see how serious the Qi family is, and how much they value their granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
Mrs. Jiang San said to her daughter-in-law with a smile: "Your aunt has been very busy these days and has promised to come see Chang Xi on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Your aunt is worried if she doesn't see her with her own eyes. Your grandfather will give her
You prepared a horse."
Zhou Lan was a little embarrassed: "My son-in-law should have gone over to visit his grandfather."
Mrs. Jiang San: "Don't think too much. The days are long and there is plenty of time to move around. Do your own business first. Your grandfather understands this."
This is the relationship between close and distant relatives. Zhou Lan knew in his heart that his mother-in-law was helping to deal with it. Zhou Lan said, "Mom, one day, my son-in-law went to find the best wine in the capital to please his grandfather."
Mrs. Jiang San showed a sad expression: "If you continue to try so hard to please your grandfather, what will the cousins in the house do? Erlang, that's about it. Leave a way for your cousins.
.”
He was actually made a joke by his mother-in-law. Zhou Lan, who was so steady, was a little bit at a loss: "Mother."
Mr. Jiang San: "Business about your matters first. Your grandfather also has a lot to do. When we have time, we can gather together as a family so that we can talk more easily."
Zhou Lan: "Everyone listens to dad."
Jiang Changxi had a look of surprise on her face. She was thinking about the horse given by her grandfather: "Mom, this is the horse given by my grandfather."
Mrs. Jiang San glanced at her daughter, but she thought quite beautifully: "What are you thinking about? That was given to your uncle by your grandfather."
Jiang Changxi was a little unhappy, why should we treat him differently: "Grandpa loves the new and dislikes the old."
Mrs. Jiang San had nothing to do with her daughter's unbridled talk: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that your grandfather will deal with you."
Jiang Changxi said resentfully: "Did I say something wrong?" If she wasn't pregnant, Madam Jiang San would have raised her arm to slap someone.
Zhou Lan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard this: "When I went to my grandfather's house a few years ago, my grandfather said that he would send some fast horses from the border county. Grandfather said that he would give them to
My son-in-law, I didn’t expect it to arrive so soon.”
Although I didn't go to Qi Mansion to pay New Year's greetings immediately after the New Year, Zhou Lan did visit there a few years ago. He also specifically told Qi's grandfather about the schedule for the New Year.
So when it comes to dealing with people, Zhou Lan is really very transparent. Otherwise, why would he still miss his granddaughter-in-law even if he gave his grandfather a horse?
Mrs. Jiang San was a little envious: "The horses from the Border County are really good things, and it's easy for your grandfather not to give them away. This shows that our second son has his heart."
