"Um...it still hurts a little, but it's almost gone." Jiang Yuan quickly raised one foot and pretended to be limping.
"Really?" Shitou's eyes were a little worried. Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't seem to be faking when he walked, he wanted to see if his feet were swollen.
In his impression, when his father's feet were swollen, they were extremely swollen!
"Really, this is an overreaction. Look, it's okay." Jiang Yuan took two more steps.
Shitou was relieved after seeing this.
Only one pair of eyes glanced back and forth on Jiang Yuan's face, looking thoughtful.
"Mom, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
"Yeah?"
"Of course. I see you every day and I have already seen you clearly. It's not like dad who has to get closer to take a look!"
Jiang Yuan thought about when Fu Jiu looked at her carefully.
Only then did I think that Shitou must have wanted to kiss her when she saw Fu Jiu just now...but he didn't see it clearly...
Jiang Yuan coughed lightly: "I have to go cook, you can do your homework."
She glared at Fu Jiu depressedly. Fu Jiu was even more depressed than she was.
…
Jiang Yuan and Wu cooked dinner together, with Yuening helping out.
Fu Zhi also had to eat at home and had to cook two more dishes.
The dinner table was very warm, and Fu Zhi would ask about Tian's family affairs from time to time.
Tian seemed to be feeling something and ate the meal absent-mindedly.
After dinner, Fu Zhi said goodbye. He had to set off back to Beijing.
Fu Jiu didn't stop him. He had said everything he needed to say. There was no need to say anything now.
After everyone left, Tian called Fu Jiu.
"Ajiu, come here, I have something to tell you."
Fu Jiu followed Jiang Yuan into the room.
Mrs. Tian hesitated to speak, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
After a long while, she said: "That Master Fu... he seems to care about you very much?"
"Well, he is quite curious about me."
Tian was startled, then lowered his head, as if he had made up his mind: "Ajiu, Mom has something to tell you..."
"Mom, you don't have to say anything, I know everything." Fu Jiu saw that it was difficult for her to speak, and she seemed to be afraid of hurting him, so she simply spoke herself.
"What do you mean you know?"
"I'm not mother's child. Mother wants to tell me this."
Tian was shocked. When he came to his senses, tears gathered in his eyes, and he said nervously: "You knew it a long time ago? How did you know it?"
Tian felt that she had hardly revealed anything to him, so how could he know?
"When I was young, some relatives at home came to see you. I heard what you said at that time."
Tian thought about it carefully, and it seemed that not long after they settled in Xinghua Village, her husband came and they had a big quarrel.
His husband left angrily.
But Fu Jiu was only two or three years old at the time, how could he remember it so clearly?
"You...you don't blame mother, do you?"
"How could I blame you? You have worked so hard to raise me so well, and I haven't given you enough respect."
Mrs. Tian burst into tears, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.
He didn't say many words, but these few words already made her feel distressed.
"Your mother gave you to me to raise. You were just born at the time. She was in a hurry and left without saying a few words. I didn't have time to ask about many things, except for this jade pendant."
Tian took out a jade pendant from the box.
"I remember I asked you to pawn this jade pendant back then." Fu Jiu said.
"Yes, but Mom was thinking, this is a token between you and your family. If you lose it like this, what will you do if you miss your biological mother in the future? I didn't take it for granted. I only worked hard to save money.
