Chapter 45 Four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gather together
Li Xiwu did not turn around.
His back was turned to Xie Wen.
When he spoke again, there was a slight alienation in his voice: "If you are just complaining, there is no need to say it. You chose this path yourself in the first place. No matter how difficult it is, you have to move forward."
Xie Wen wanted to say something, but hesitated, and finally could only watch Li Xiwu leave.
Xin Xin in her arms started to make noise again, and Xie Wen was exhausted and coaxed: "Xin Xin, don't cry..."
After coaxing her daughter for a long time, she still kept crying. Xie Wen freed up a hand to search for her cell phone in her mother's bag, preparing to call a taxi home.
The bag was filled with baby supplies, diapers, milk powder, milk bottles, toys, and small lunch boxes. There were almost no things of her own. After turning over and over, her phone had sunk to the bottom of the bag.
Her arms were a little sore.
But the daughter in my arms still kept crying.
There is no place to sit around.
Xie Wen was close to collapse, so she had to squat down, carefully put her daughter on her lap, and then rummaged through her mother's bag for her mobile phone.
The mobile phone that she always kept with her was now nowhere to be found, and baby products could not be taken out and placed on the ground. She had to give up, put on a mask, and went outside to stop the car and go back.
Just about to get up.
A person squatted down next to him, and that person stretched out his hand and took the mommy bag that Xie Wen was about to pick up.
Xie Wen looked up and saw Li Xiwu returning, and her emotions collapsed in an instant: "Teacher Li..."
"Get up first and hold the baby." Li Xiwu stood up carrying a heavy mother's bag.
Tears were welling up in Xie Wen's eyes. She obediently stood up with her daughter in her arms, and then saw Li Xiwu handing over a steaming cup of orange-flavored hot black tea.
Xie Wen was stunned and didn't answer.
Li Xiwu said: "You like to drink."
After saying that, I saw tears streaming down from Xie Wen's eyes.
She originally thought that Teacher Li didn't want to interact with her anymore, but she didn't expect that Teacher Li went to buy a cup of her favorite orange-flavored hot black tea and brought it back to her.
Li Xiwu silently watched Xie Wen cry without comfort. He only wiped Xie Wen's tears with a tissue until the tears dried up and no more tears fell. Li Xiwu held the paper ball in his hand and took it back: "Want to go home?"
Xie Wen: "Get ready to call a taxi."
Li Xiwu: "Were you looking for your phone just now?"
Xie Wen nodded.
Li Xiwu picked up the mommy bag and turned around: "I'm fine now. I'll take you back."
Xie Wen: "But Teacher Li..."
Li Xiwu's almond-shaped eyes flashed: "Don't you have something to tell me?"
Xie Wen nodded.
Li Xiwu took back the orange-flavored hot black tea in Xie Wen's hand: "Don't spill it. Hold Xin Xin in your arms and drink it after you get in the car."
Xie Wen: "Oh."
After that, Xie Wen got into Li Xiwu's car with her daughter in her arms.
It was still the same Volvo that Xie Wen had been riding in for two years. From the time when she was on set, for endorsements, or recording variety shows in other places, Teacher Li always drove her in this car to pick her up and drop her off.
Li Xiwu sat on the driver's seat and looked at Xie Wen in the rearview mirror: "Do you want to breastfeed? I'll raise the fender."
Xie Wen said: "Xinxin was having a nap just now and is going to sleep now."
Li Xiwu hummed, opened the plastic bag of orange-flavored hot black tea, inserted the straw and handed it to Xie Wen: "Drink it while it's hot."
Xie Wen took it: "Teacher Li is still the same as before. Knowing that I am afraid of the cold, he always buys me orange-flavored hot black tea."
Li Xiwu smiled faintly: "I just happened to pass by and bought a drink."
Xie Wen cherished the current atmosphere of getting along with Li Xiwu. She took a sip of hot black tea and mentioned: "I received a notice from the director of Huanxi Mother-in-law. Tomorrow the second group of mothers-in-law and the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to Fuzhen."
That notification was posted in the group.
Li Xiwu also saw it.
So I wasn't surprised when I heard Xie Wen mention it: "Compared to hotels, the event venue in Fu Town is much wider."
Xie Wen said: "We will have frequent contact with each other when we record a variety show in Fuzhen."
Li Xiwu: "I know."
For some reason, he felt depressed for no reason. He wondered if it was because he didn't open the window, but when he thought of his daughter in Xie Wen's arms, Li Xiwu resisted the urge to open the window for fear of the cold air coming in.
She randomly found a topic: "How is the progress of Chi Xu's new drama?"
Xie Wen's eyes dimmed: "He is the third male character in this drama and has more roles."
Li Xiwu sneered: "Just a third male lead, how many roles can he have."
Xie Wen did not refute Li Xiwu's words.
As Xie Wen, who used to be the first female lead in many dramas, no matter what drama, apart from the male and female roles, there are only two male and female roles, and the third male does not have many roles.
Li Xiwu looked at Xie Wen's lonely expression in the rearview mirror: "When he chased you, he was as idle as an unemployed vagrant. Now he is married and plays the third male lead, but he is too busy with the country.
No matter what. Xie Wen, I still don’t know what brand of drug Chi Xu gave you."
Xie Wen looked at her sleeping daughter in her arms and sighed: "The ghost must have lost its mind."
Li Xiwu twitched the corners of his lips: "Probably."
Afterwards, Li Xiwu sent Xie Wen home.
Downstairs in the community, Xie Wen invited Li Xiwu to come in and sit.
Li Xiwu did not refuse and helped Xie Wen carry her mother's bag upstairs.
Before I entered the door, I heard the sound of mahjong. When I opened the door, I saw four people playing mahjong at a table in the living room.
It's Zheng Yuehua and her three poker friends.
Xie Wen went in first, and Li Xiwu was changing shoes in the entrance hall.
Zheng Yuehua turned around and saw that Xie Wen was back, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Where have you gone again? It's dry and cold outside. Don't run around carrying my granddaughter."
Xie Wen explained: "Take Xinxin to the set to see her father."
Zheng Yuehua played a four of a kind, and the other party shouted "Peng" and picked up the card. Zheng Yuehua said: "Xiao Xu is so busy filming on the set, don't influence him, and take good care of my granddaughter at home. By the way, let's cook early today at noon.
Cook some dishes, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Liu are all here to eat."
The three poker players laughed and said they would go home and eat.
Zheng Yuehua said in a serious voice: "Why, you don't need to cook. My daughter-in-law is a good cook. You are in for a treat. You can continue playing cards after eating here."
Aunt Zhang said considerately: "Your daughter-in-law doesn't have a child, so how can she be so busy?"
"Why can't I be busy? When I was young, I took care of children, cooked, and went to work. Aren't I already busy? You don't have to worry about her. She will prepare it for us. It's true." Zheng Yuehua was angry.
Said fully.
After saying that, I didn't forget to remind Xie Wen: "It's almost eleven o'clock, so move quickly."
Xie Wen responded: "I know."
After receiving Xie Wen's response, Zheng Yuehua showed off to his poker friends: "Look, my daughter-in-law listens to me very much. She never goes west when I tell her to go east. Let's play cards in peace and wait for the ready-made food at noon."
