Early in the morning, Lin Anxin got up and made breakfast. According to her previous habit, breakfast consisted of fresh milk and poached eggs, sometimes with a few slices of bread. It was only served when everyone's appetite was not very good, or when someone at home had a stomachache.
Eat porridge and side dishes.
Xixi had breakfast as usual and went to school. When Lin Anxin came back from sending Xixi off, she saw that the portion left for Zhuo's mother on the table had not been touched at all.
Zhuo's mother was watching TV and Lin Anxin said, "Auntie, why didn't you...have breakfast?"
Zhuo's mother said: "I'm old and have high blood fat. The doctor said I shouldn't eat greasy food. Look at how much oil you put in your omelette..."
Lin Anxin froze and had to say: "Then I will cook another hard-boiled egg for you?"
"No, I've already eaten."
Lin Anxin looked at the disposable takeout fast food boxes in the trash can. He didn't want to say anything else and was about to throw away everything on the table.
"Wait! What do you want to do?"
Lin Anxin was holding the plate, not knowing what to do, and murmured: "If you don't eat it, I will have to throw it away..."
"Why are you wasting your money when you didn't go to work? These things are just a little cold but not broken. Why are they thrown out?"
Lin Anxin also thought it was a waste, but she had already had breakfast and couldn't eat it at all.
"These will be broken tomorrow..."
"Eat it now!"
"I...I'm full..." Lin Anxin explained to her while holding back her temper.
"You're full now. You can have lunch. No matter how big the family fortune is, it can't afford your waste. Besides, our Zhuo family is not as wealthy as the Yin family. When Zhuo Xi's father and I were together, what?
I have never suffered before. How could we be where we are today if we waste everything like this?"
Zhuo's mother's scolding, coupled with Yin Haoze, made Lin Anxin feel very uncomfortable. Since it was only their first day together, she had no choice but to hold back and say nothing.
At noon, Lin Anxin deliberately cooked less rice because she hadn't finished breakfast yet.
Xixi was a little surprised when she saw her mother eating the morning food: "Mom, why do you eat milk and fried eggs? Why don't you eat rice here?"
Lin Anxin couldn't bear to say in front of Zhuo's mother that she had no choice but to eat the leftovers from the morning, so she had to say: "I feel a little tired of eating rice every day, and I want to drink milk."
Zhuo Xi smiled at Lin Anxin: "Why didn't I think you liked drinking milk so much before?"
Lin Anxin tried her best to smile and whispered: "People's tastes will change..."
Zhuo's mother sneered: "The taste is really strange. I have never heard that you will get tired of it after eating it."
Zhuo Xi glanced at Zhuo's mother angrily. Zhuo's mother didn't say anything and got up to fill the meal. Lin Anxin quickly got up to help her fill it.
"No need, I know how much I eat."
Before Lin Anxin could sit back in her seat, she heard Zhuo Xi's mother yelling in surprise: "How can we have enough food when there is so little food... Anxin, if you don't eat it yourself, you can't let us save it too." Zhuo Xi
Working so hard all day long, Xixi must be growing up. I'm getting older, so it doesn't matter if you don't feel sorry for me. You can't just ignore them both, right?" He put down his rice spoon and said, "Forget it.
Forget it, I won’t eat anymore. If I want to eat more, you won’t be able to add more food to me.”
Hearing this, Xixi quickly said: "Mom, I'm full, there's no need to add more."
Zhuo Xi knew that his mother was deliberately looking for trouble. She usually didn't need to add food. But he couldn't discredit his mother in front of Lin Anxin and Xixi, so he had to say: "My colleagues at work brought snacks. I just
It tastes a bit better. Mom, if you're not full, feel free to add more, and don't worry about me."
"Forget it." Zhuo's mother said and went back to her room.
Zhuo Xi smiled apologetically at Lin Anxin, and Lin Anxin had no choice but to smile in return. Not to mention how bitter that smile was.
She understood that this was only the beginning. If she couldn't tolerate such a small thing, Zhuo Xi and her efforts would soon be in vain.
Because no one dared to add food at noon, there were leftovers. For several days, Lin Anxin ate leftovers from almost every meal. Zhuo's mother always found various ways to cause little problems for Lin Anxin.
But Lin Anxin could only endure it. She believed that Jin Cheng would be a match between gold and stone, and one day Zhuo's mother would accept her.
Zhuo's mother's burnt hand has not yet healed, and she has to go to the hospital for dressing changes from time to time. Zhuo Xi is not free, so Lin Anxin goes with her every time. Zhuo's mother yells at Lin Anxin in front of the doctor, for example, right now,
She asked Lin Anxin to get medicine for herself.
Lin Anxin agreed and went out. When he saw it, he had the prescription in his hand and the medical card was still inserted in the card machine. So he turned back to get it and heard the doctor and Zhuo's mother chatting.
"Your daughter is still my daughter-in-law, and she treats you very well."
"Doctor, you are mistaken. She is not my daughter-in-law." Zhuo's mother said disdainfully, "She is our nanny. My son is so outstanding, why would he find her?"
The doctor felt embarrassed that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly: "Yes, I forgot that your son is the director of a TV station. He is really young and promising."
"Thank you doctor."
Lin Anxin's heart was stabbed so hard that tears almost burst out of her eyes. Nanny, in her eyes, she is just a nanny!
Lin Anxin bit her lips tightly, fearing that if she relaxed her tears would roll down like broken beads. She felt that she no longer had the courage to stay in this home. If the small things before were insignificant, Zhuo's mother
Today's words are the greatest insult to myself.
After standing outside for a long time, Lin Anxin still held back, pretending to be nonchalant, returned to the doctor and took away the medical card. The doctor looked at Lin Anxin strangely.
Lin Anxin couldn't tell the pain in her heart. She didn't want to complain to Zhuo Xi. It would look like she was having trouble with Zhuo Xi just after being together, which might lead to Zhuo Xi misunderstanding her. So she had to complain to Zhou Xiaoshuang.
The two bitter women hit it off immediately, which brings tears to their eyes.
Life has to go on as usual. Fortunately, Zhuo's mother's injury finally healed under the care of Lin Anxin. But Zhou Xiaoshuang was still angry with Lan Shen, still unwilling to see him, and said that the last time they met must be
Go through divorce procedures at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Zhuo's mother had been ill for a long time and was a little bored staying at home, so she wanted to go out and play mahjong with her old best friends. Before leaving, she asked Lin Anxin to tidy up her room as well.
She usually doesn't let others into her room because she can't get her hands wet during this period, so Lin Anxin always helps clean up, and she gradually gets used to it.
Lin Anxin didn't think it was a big deal. She had to clean up the house every day anyway, so it wasn't a difficult task.
However, when wiping the table today, Lin Anxin accidentally made a mistake. Maybe it had been hanging for a long time, maybe it was not very reliable in the first place, but the direct reason was that Lin Anxin accidentally hung it on the table.
The portrait of Zhuo's father suddenly fell off and fell to the ground, leaving two long cracks in the frame.
Lin Anxin panicked and thought to herself: "It's broken!" She subconsciously held up the photo and didn't want to move it. As soon as she moved, the crack loosened and the fragments fell out and stuck in Lin Anxin's hand, which was heartbreaking.
The pain.
Lin Anxin couldn't think too much. Her first reaction was to quickly find a place to get an identical photo frame. It would be terrible if Zhuo's mother saw it!
She put Zhuo's father's photo frame into her bag, bandaged her fingers haphazardly, swept up the debris on the floor, and hurried out the door.
Lin Anxin asked each family one by one if they had exactly the same photo frame, but the photo frame containing Zhuo's father's portrait was of a retro style. Nowadays, few people use such ancient photo frames. They kept asking until dark, but Lin Anxin didn't ask.
.
She didn't dare to go home, she was extremely scared and didn't know how Zhuo's mother would scold her.
She recalled that she accidentally broke Yin Haoze's cup. She was very nervous at that time, not knowing how Yin Haoze would get angry. But even though she was so scared at that time, it was not like this now. She looked at the amiable father Zhuo on the portrait, and it seemed like that
Underneath the gentle smile was indifference and contempt for himself. He had always been opposed to him and Zhuo Xi being together, even if he would make such last words before his death.
Somehow, Lin Anxin felt that it was Zhuo's father who was stopping him.
She didn't dare to turn on her cell phone, for fear that she would see countless calls flooding in when she turned it on.
Zhuo Xi, I have been working hard, but no matter what I do, I can't satisfy your mother. What should I do?
Lin Anxin sat in the corner, at a loss.
As the dusk gradually fell, Lin Anxin never dared to go home. She was like a child who had made a mistake and ran away from home, fearing the coming punishment.
Summer nights are always unpredictable. The sky that was still sultry before suddenly started to rain heavily. Lin Anxin huddled in the corner, watching the pouring rain outside on the street. Everyone was in a hurry, even the cars were driving.
They were all rushing home. In the world, only Lin Anxin was lonely. She didn't know where her home was.
She has never felt so insecure, even if she was wandering around alone with Xixi, she would not be like this now.
A car stopped in front of her. Lin Anxin was tired and sleepy, and was already drowsy. In the waterfall-like rain curtain, a familiar tall figure walked towards her, followed by a small figure.
I don’t know if it’s rain or tears on my face.
"Fool, why are you here? We are looking for you everywhere."
Lin Anxin looked up at that familiar face, and warm liquid poured out of her eyes.
"Why are you? Why are you here..."
It was Yin Haoze, and standing next to him was Xixi.
"Because you need me, I'm here." Yin Haoze said, without saying a word, he picked up Lin Anxin.
Xixi held Lin Anxin's cold hand tightly, and the three of them walked to the car together under a small umbrella. Although the rain soaked her whole body, Xixi felt that the three of them were so warm together.
.
Lin Anxin hugged Yin Haoze's neck. She was greedy for the sense of security he brought to her. Every time she felt lonely and helpless, why was he always the one who appeared in front of her?
