While Huo Xi and Yang Fu were busy collecting grain and cloth from various places, Li Yu also brought Wu Chengye to Songjiang.
Since the nanny Zhou met Huo Xi and saw that the two children were well, she now seemed to be alive again, full of energy.
There were two days off in January in the weaving shop, but she refused to take a break. She took Ma Ma to various counties and villages in Songjiang Prefecture to find out where there was fabric and food, negotiate prices with people, and learn to negotiate business with people.
When I get home from work, I have to sew clothes for my two children by night light.
Apart from occasionally thinking about my man and my son, I have nothing else to ask for.
The yard where they live now was bought by Xi'er. Now she and Mama Ma don't have to worry about having a fixed place to live. The monthly income is enough for the two of them, which gives them a lot of peace of mind.
It's not easy for Sister Ning. Now that she has no worries about food and housing, she just wants to do more for Sister Ning.
In the weaving workshop, Ms. Zhou's hands and feet were very fast. Others could weave one piece of cloth a day, but she could weave one and a half pieces. She was not focused on anything else, and in her heart she could only see the loom in front of her.
"Ms. Zhou, someone is looking for you."
The steward of the weaving workshop shouted twice. It wasn't until he came up to her and pushed her that Mrs. Zhou realized what she was doing. She asked in question.
"Someone is looking for you at the door."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, someone was looking for? Sister Ning? It was Sister Ning who came to see me? After realizing it, she trotted towards the door of the weaving workshop.
When I arrived at the door, I didn't see Sister Ning, only a man and a half-grown boy.
That man... seemed familiar, but after a few years, Zhou didn't dare to recognize him.
Li Yu hadn't seen her for several years. He saw that she was much older now, and he had learned about her experience from Huo Xi's mouth. Knowing that she was speechless, he looked at her and felt emotional for a long time.
Couldn't speak.
As for Wu Chengye, Huo Xi asked him to leave his stepmother and could not go with her. He was also asked to follow Li Yu, making him feel uneasy all the way.
Although Li Yu said that he wanted him to go find his mother, he didn't see her, and he felt uneasy all the time. When he was with Li Yu, he would only ask and answer questions, but didn't speak for a long time.
Now seeing my mother right in front of me, my eyes widened and I couldn't say a word for a long time.
The three of them looked at each other at the door of the weaving workshop, but no one said a word.
Wu Chengye couldn't hold himself back. Seeing that his mother didn't recognize him anymore, he felt happy and pained at the same time. He moved two steps towards his mother. When he saw that her mother only looked at him without speaking, she burst into tears: "
mother!"
Pounced up.
Zhou was staggered by him and her whole body froze. She stared blankly at the boy who threw herself into her arms. What did he call herself?
"Mom, I'm Ye'er. Don't you recognize your son? Mom!"
Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses, her hands and feet were trembling with excitement, she screamed, she pushed him away from her arms, held his face and took a closer look, her son? Is it her son Cheng Ye?
For five years, she had been thinking about him day and night, and her dreams were all about him when he was a child. Now, is he that old?
"Ah, ah..." Tears streamed down her face.
"Mom? Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom..."
"Ah, ah..."
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you speechless?"
The mother and son held each other's hands and cried at the door of the weaving mill. Listening to Mr. Zhou's attempt to call his son, but unable to make a sound, he only made an excited hoarse sound. Li Yu looked up to the sky and sighed with emotion.
Seeing the steward of the weaving workshop poking his head inside, Li Yu quickly blinked away his tears and said, "Let's talk at home."
Mrs. Zhou held her son's face and looked at her again and again, with tears streaming down her face. She turned around and was about to kneel down and thank Li Yu. Li Yu supported her and said, "I wasn't the one who found him. Let's talk about it when we go back."
Ms. Zhou nodded her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at her son who hugged her arm tightly, as if she was in another world.
Just when he was about to move, he made another sound and pointed to the courtyard.
Li Yu thought she was going in to ask for leave, so he nodded: "Okay, we'll wait for you at the door."
Seeing his mother turning around, Wu Chengye stepped forward anxiously and pulled her: "Mother!"
"Ah!"
"Your mother wants to ask for leave from the shop owner. We will wait for him at the door."
Zhou nodded towards Wu Chengye and touched his face again and again. Wu Chengye followed, with tears on his face: "Mom, please come out quickly. My son is waiting for you at the door."
Mrs. Zhou nodded her head, glanced at him, and turned around to go in.
When Wu Chengye saw that his mother turned around and disappeared, he stood on tiptoes and looked inside.
"Don't worry, your mother will be out soon."
Seeing his mother, Wu Chengye felt relieved and looked at Li Yu: "Uncle, why do you think my mother is speechless? She can't even call me now. My mother can still speak.
Is it? Can it still be cured?"
Seeing his mother like that, he felt so distressed that he wanted to shed tears. His mother suffered more than him.
Li Yu smiled at him and reassured him: "In the future, you can learn more skills, save money, and take your mother to see a powerful doctor and let him cure her."
Wu Chengye nodded solemnly: "Yes. I will study hard, save a lot of money, and take my mother to see a doctor. I will definitely be able to cure my mother."
Soon the wet nurse pulled Ma Ma out.
Wu Chengye immediately rushed towards his mother, holding his mother's arms tightly, as if he was afraid that his mother would disappear.
Mother Ma glanced at him and nodded towards Li Yu: "Let's go home."
Li Yu had already known her identity from Huo Xi's mouth, greeted her, and followed her to the yard where they lived.
When he returned to the courtyard, Li Yu glanced at Wu Chengye and simply said: "It was Xi'er who found him in Pingjiang." He explained the reason for the incident.
When she learned that it was Sister Ning who had found Chengye, Ms. Zhou was happy and excited. When she learned that her husband had married another bride, Ms. Zhou's eyes dimmed, her head lowered, and she remained silent for a long time, then fell silently.
Tears come.
Mother Ma glanced at her, sighed, and comforted her with Li Yu.
"Now that you have found Chengye and know that Xi'er and the others are fine, you should be happy. There was no news about them before, so why don't you survive it? From now on, Chengye and I will live a good life in Songjiang. You have a son by your side. Xi'er
I also said that I would provide for you in your old age, so what else do you have to worry about? How are you like me? I am all alone."
Mrs. Zhou raised her head and grabbed her hand hard, ahhhhhing for a long time.
"Okay, I understand. From now on, we two sisters will always be together and let Chengye and Xi'er take care of us in our old age."
"Ahh..." Mrs. Zhou then laughed with tears in her eyes.
Li Yu sent Wu Chengye there, and the matter was settled, so he told the two of them about Xi'er's plan.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou and Ma Ma thought about it for a long time and nodded in agreement.
"We also know a few young ladies we are friends with. It will not be difficult to buy a few looms and invite them to weave together, but I am afraid that this yard cannot accommodate so many looms."
"Xi'er said that I'll give you a bigger yard or rent a workshop. I'll let you be the steward and teach the ladies how to weave. I don't want you to be so tired."
"The two of us are in the prime of life, and we can't be idle anywhere. Let's rent a workshop and buy a big yard. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."
Li Yu nodded: "Okay, then I will go look at the house tomorrow and see where there are shops."
"Shopkeeper Shen came here some time ago and told us about the shop. We all paid attention to it, but we fell in love with a few of them. We happened to go and have a look soon."
Li Yu nodded in agreement.
Next, Mother Ma and Mrs. Zhou resigned from the weaving mill, and they and Li Yu found a house and shop in Songjiang City.
