However, it is only in name, and this does not affect the two of them being together.
Besides, the two old men might not be together, so she shouldn't make any wild guesses here.
From that day on, Chen Zhi followed Chen's mother upstairs to take care of Si Chengye.
Chen Zhi would also take the opportunity to ask her mother about the past between them. Chen Zhi's mother said every time that she had nothing to say and refused to reveal a word.[
Chen Zhi thought her mother was shy, so she stopped asking her questions.
After going through the discharge procedures, Chen Zhi and Aunt Xu carried everything back. Mother Chen was too sick to do housework, so she simply stayed in the hospital to take care of Si Chengye instead of following them home.
Back at their small home, Aunt Xu helped Chen Zhi clean all the rooms, and then the two of them cooked a sumptuous meal. It just so happened that Chen's mother also came back with the idea.
Chen Zhi ran to open the door, and Chen's mother walked in. She smelled the aroma of the food and said with a smile: "It smells so good. What delicious things have you made?"
"I cooked a lot of dishes that we all like to eat, but I'm not good at cooking, so Aunt Xu basically cooked them." Chen Zhi put a new pair of slippers in front of her mother, and Chen Zhi changed her shoes before walking into the living room.
"Sister Chen, come and sit down, it's time to start dinner." Aunt Xu greeted Mother Chen while placing the dishes and chopsticks.
"Sister Xu, sit down and let Xiao Zhi do the work." Mother Chen sat down at the table and waved to her.
"Aunt Xu, please sit down quickly." Chen Zhi very wisely pulled Aunt Xu to sit down, then went to bring out all the dishes that were not served, and gave everyone a glass of juice.
Mother Chen substituted juice for wine: "Before eating, Sister Xu, I want to toast you. Although you are the nanny hired by our family, you are as kind to me as my own sister. In the past few months, you have worked hard for me.
Yes, thank you for always taking care of me, I really appreciate you."
Aunt Xu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Chen, don't say that, you are very kind to me. When I couldn't find a job, it was Chen Zhi who asked me to take care of you and gave me a generous salary.
Salary should be based on my respect for you."
"No matter what, I must toast you with this cup. Come on, cheers." Mother Chen insisted, and Aunt Xu had no choice but to accept the cup.
After the two of them toasted, Chen Zhi also raised his glass to toast her: "Aunt Xu, I want to toast you too. Thank you for helping me take care of my mother when I was away. Thank you very much."
There were moist tears in Chen Zhi's eyes. Aunt Xu knew her thoughts and accepted her drink with a smile.
Putting down the cup, Aunt Xu sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's been more than two months in the blink of an eye. I'm going home tomorrow. I really don't know when we will see each other again after we say goodbye."
Because Chen's mother had recovered from her illness, Aunt Xu volunteered to leave. Chen Zhi tried to persuade her again and again, but she insisted on leaving and planned to leave tomorrow.
Both Chen's mother and Chen Zhi knew that she was a person who had no merit and no reward. Since she was no longer needed here, she would not just stay and get money for nothing.
"Aunt Xu, you can come over often when you have time. You are always welcome to play in our house." Chen Zhi said with a smile, but his expression was a little sad.
Mother Chen saw the two of them getting sadder as they talked. She smiled and cheered up the atmosphere and said, "Okay, let's eat. We can't waste so much delicious food."
