Yu Guoqin took out a pair of reading glasses from nowhere, put them on the bridge of his nose, took the marriage certificate of Lu Beicen and Jiang Zhongze, and carefully turned it from the first page to the last page, and then back from the last page.
Not a single word was left out, and from the double photo, I saw the two children sitting in front of me. I don’t know why, but the old lady, who had always been tenacious, was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, do you think you're still excited?" Lu Beicen quickly took out a tissue and handed it over.
The old lady took off her reading glasses, raised her eyebrows and took a deep breath. With a satisfied look, she handed the marriage certificate to Lu Beicen: "As people get older, they get excited easily. I'm happy for that.
"
Jiang Zhongze quickly agreed with a smile: "This is something you should be happy about. If you are happy, we are all happy."
The old lady looked at Lu Beicen: "Xiao Bei, call your mother and ask her to come over if she has time. I want to say a few words to her."
"Mom, my parents thought we could only come back today, so they arranged to pick you up tonight..." Lu Beicen explained quickly, fearing that Yu Guoqin would think too much.
Yu Guoqin shook his head and interrupted Lu Beicen's words: "I'm an old lady from the country. I don't care about the wind. What's the big deal? Your parents are busy. I don't know where to put my hands and feet when I go into that big hotel. Just listen.
Yes, I went to buy groceries in the morning and invited them over in the evening. If your mother is free in the afternoon, please invite her over early."
"Mom, the past is in the past, you..." Lu Beicen knew that her adoptive mother was holding back her words, but she really didn't want her to expose her own scars.
Instead, Jiang Zhongze pulled Lu Beicen and took up the topic: "Xiaobei, go make a phone call and I'll have a few words with mom."
Yu Guoqin glanced at Jiang Zhongze, and then said to Lu Beicen, who looked hesitant: "You called to have a bowl of soup."
After sending Lu Beicen away, Yu Guoqin simply stood up and entered the study first. Jiang Zhongze followed and closed the door.
"Mom, no matter what you have to say, I will listen to you. The only thing is, you can't bring up the matter of going back, Xiaobei will be sad." Jiang Zhongze didn't wait for Yu Guoqin to speak, and stopped him first.
Yu Guoqin looked at Jiang Zhongze sharply: "Xiaobei is not such an ignorant child. You just came here to trick me, right?"
Jiang Zhongze smiled bitterly: "Mom, it's only a matter of time. Who else do you think is more considerate to Xiaobei than you?"
Yu Guoqin started getting angry yesterday and looking at the decorations in his adopted daughter's home today, he had already made a rough guess. When he got the confirmation, he didn't know why, but he suddenly laughed: "Xiao Bei is so stubborn, but I am an old lady like me.
Exactly the same, she followed me when she was a child and suffered a lot, but then she returned home and lived a prosperous life, but she was also very miserable in her heart."
Sighing, Yu Guoqin continued: "I originally thought that this child should be very resistant to marriage. You are so anxious to get married, so you probably saw this, and I can understand it. But after getting married, but
You have just taken a small step, but there is still a long way to go in life. Sometimes Xiaobei can't figure it out. You have to give her time, and she will always figure it out."
"For example, today, you went to get your marriage certificate. I saw that Xiaobei was actually quite happy. He was really happy and it came from the bottom of his heart. I felt relieved."
The old lady seemed to be chatting about homely things, but in fact she was finding a way out for herself and Lu Beicen. She also showed weakness perfectly. Then she spoke some truth. It seemed to be very simple words, but it also made Jiang Zhongze completely understand why Lu Beicen
Beicen grew up in such an environment, and he didn't grow crooked at all.
"Mom, I really want to be with Xiaobei every day. Now that I have received this certificate, do you think the sooner the better for the wedding?" Jiang Zhongze looked at Yu Guoqin with a hopeful look on his face.
Yu Guoqin had a clear look on his face: "I can do some work at Xiaobei's mother's place, but at your house...after all, we still have old ideas about important matters like marriage. The man has to take the initiative. We didn't do that before.
Are you asking for marriage? Do you think this is true?"
Jiang Zhongze nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you are right, our grandparents are eager to do it as soon as possible. You saw it last night, they really like Xiaobei."
Jiang Yunjin came over right after answering the phone, just in time for lunch.
With three simple dishes and one soup, Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but feel mixed emotions as she smelled the aroma of the food. Her daughter liked to hide in the kitchen, so maybe she always cared about the adoptive mother who raised her.
Although she felt a little sour, Jiang Yunjin was still very enthusiastic: "Sister Qin, the food you cook is really delicious. She is usually busy with work, and Zhongze often travels on business. We don't know what we are busy with in a day. With you,
We couldn't be more at ease taking care of her."
In fact, the person Yu Guoqin didn't want to face the most was Jiang Yunjin. She had very complicated emotions towards this distant cousin. After finally finishing the meal and sending the young couple away, Yu Guoqin straightened her expression: "Yunjin, I really don't want to
It's time to come, but there are some things that you have to face. I am now at this age. Why don't I come? The main reason is that I feel guilty. For you, my cousin, and especially Xiaobei, my children have been with me all those years.
, I really suffered a lot, I am useless..."
At this point, Yu Guoqin could no longer speak. Her mind was filled with images of Lu Beicen following her and being domestically abused. Then she burst into tears.
Jiang Yunjin's emotions are actually very complicated. She sympathizes with her cousin's experience, but she also hates her for causing her daughter to suffer so much. She even hates herself and Lu Xusheng when she was young, and her mother who gave away her daughter without telling her.
, but thinking about it conversely, no one has extenuating circumstances. The most hateful person is dead, the most helpless person has passed away, and the most innocent person has grown up.
My daughter has grown up healthily. No matter how many years have passed, the person she relies on the most in her heart is always the adoptive mother who brought her up. This is enough to prove that no matter how weak her cousin was in the past, she is sincere.
She raised her daughter wholeheartedly. As a mother who made the mistake at the source, rather than blaming her cousin, she was unwilling to face the worst version of herself.
Jiang Yunjin said nothing, watching Yu Guoqin burst into tears, and his own eyes filled with tears.
The two sisters looked at each other speechlessly and cried bitterly, but they untied the knots that had been in their hearts for many years.
"Cousin, I don't blame you, and I don't blame my mother. If I want to blame, I can only blame myself. Xiaobei's father told me to look forward. Even if Xiaobei grew up in front of us, he may not have you.
It’s so well done!”
Jiang Yunjin took out another tissue and handed it to Yu Guoqin's hand, "You are also a mother and I am also a mother. I won't say thank you. You raised Xiaobei for a while, and she must take care of you until you die. You are here, that is
Her father and I can only be happy that there is one more person who loves her. Otherwise, not to mention Xiaobei, even our husband and wife will have uneasy consciences for the rest of our lives."
Yu Guoqin's eyes were red, but his heart was as clear as ever: "It's all in the past, and the children have grown up. Today, the two of us have spoken out and vented all the pain in our hearts. We will never do it again."
mentioned."
"Okay, never mention it again, Sister Qin, let's just watch the children get well!" Jiang Yunjin nodded happily, she was the same, this pain can only be completely and happily overcome in front of the person in front of her.
A smile appeared on Yu Guoqin's face: "Then let's talk about the current affairs. The two children received their certificates today,"
Seeing Jiang Yunjin's look of astonishment, Yu Guoqin remembered that the two children never mentioned that they had received the certificate when they were eating, so he shook his head: "Sure enough, you and her father, who disagrees?"
After Jiang Yunjin was stunned, he laughed: "What did Aze do to invite you here? This kid also knows how to take a roundabout route, but it's good to cut the mess quickly and save Xiaobei's father from worrying about gains and losses.
Worrying about this today and worrying about that tomorrow means you feel unhappy anyway."
"Their family invited me to dinner last night. I think the whole family is pretty good, especially Aze's grandparents. But they like Xiaobei. What does Xiaobei's father have to worry about?"
"Hey, that's an old grudge. Anyway, I'm just worried that Xiaobei will be bullied after marrying..."
Jiang Yunjin told the story about Lu Xusheng and the two Jiang sisters. Hearing Yu Guoqin's eyebrows raised, Jiang Yunjin quickly comforted her: "I don't think it's okay. Our Lu family is not the same as before.
The relationship between the Jiang family is naturally different. Secondly, I am very satisfied with Zhongze's son. Not only has he established a new cooperative relationship, but he has also settled in China with the old couple. He is right under our noses, and we are not afraid of anything."
Yu Guoqin couldn't understand those cooperations, but Jiang Yunjin's words made her feel very confident, so she simply said: "No wonder Zhongze is so anxious. I've got the certificate anyway, so I might as well get married as soon as possible. Don't be serious."
It won’t look good if you have a wedding after getting pregnant with a baby.”
After saying this, Yu Guoqin stepped forward and said, "To tell you the truth, I was worried about Xiaobei's child before, and had a shadow in my heart, not caring about marriage. Today I see this young couple acting sweetly.
After receiving the certificate, I feel relieved, the child of the Jiang family still took it seriously."
Jiang Yunjin didn't think as carefully as Yu Guoqin, but when he thought about it, he really meant something like this. He immediately expressed his position: "I'll go talk to her father. If you don't want to let go, if you marry someone, you are not your child."
Already."
"But it's such a rush. I heard that you have to queue up for the wedding banquet in your city. I don't know if I can make it in time. The couple can't always stay in the country..."
Jiang Yunjin laughed out loud: "Sister Qin, you are also worried about your life. The children have grown up. We can handle this matter without us having to worry about it. Xiaobei now has his own friends and social circle, maybe
