Stepmother from 1970: Uncle holds her in his arms and dotes on her day and night

There was a "click" sound.

Before Qian Yiman walked down the last step of the stairs, the lights in the originally pitch-black living room suddenly came on.

This happened so suddenly that Qian Yiman was shocked.

"Dad..." It was the middle of the night. Although she was in her own home, Qian Yiman was still frightened and stuttered, "Dad, why are you sitting in the living room instead of sleeping?"

However, just after asking, Qian Yiman inadvertently glanced at the pillow on the sofa.

She thought about what happened during the day and instantly guessed what was going on.

I guess I have offended my mother-in-law.

"Ah... that, that..." The strict father didn't dare to look Qian Yiman in the eye. He hesitated and pretended to be calm and answered: "The room is a little hot and I can't sleep, so I came out to sit for a while. Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Oh, I'll come down and get a glass of water." Qian Yiman shook the empty cup in her hand, thought again and again, and asked directly, "Dad, did you make Mom angry and get kicked out of the room?"

Strict father: “…”

I didn't expect that it would be exposed so nakedly. There was silence in the air for a few seconds.

The strict father cleared his throat and explained, "Ah, well, don't worry, your mother is just like that. She'll be fine tomorrow..."

"Dad, let's not talk about tomorrow, let's talk about tonight first." Looking at her father-in-law's expression, Qian Yiman suppressed a laugh in her heart, "What if you catch a cold sleeping in the living room? Not to mention there's no quilt or anything..."

My mother-in-law must have been very angry this time. Apart from a pillow, there wasn't even a sheet on the sofa, let alone a quilt.

"It's okay, it's okay..." The strict father waved his hands, trying to be tough to the end, "Your dad is not afraid of the cold, I am afraid of the heat. Sleeping without a quilt is not a problem. Back then, I..."

"Dad, you said that was back then. Things are different now." Qian Yiman interrupted her father before he could finish recalling the story of the past. Otherwise, she would probably have to listen to his reminiscing for most of the day.

She paused, then continued, "How old were you then? How old are you now?"

Strict father: “…”

The strict father had no way of refutation of this.

He thought to himself, what kind of day is this? Not only did his wife angrily kick him out of the room, but even his daughter-in-law was so disrespectful to him.

He had completely lost face in front of the younger generation today, but the only thing he was thankful for was that his two grandsons didn't see it.

"Dad, it's common for couples to quarrel. I understand." Afraid that the old man would feel uncomfortable, Qian Yiman patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret for you and will never let anyone else know."

"Ah..." Hearing this, the strict father felt that his daughter-in-law was quite sensible, but he pretended not to care much and said, "It's okay, it's normal..."

"..."

Qian Yiman saw all of this, but this time she didn't expose him. She decided to solve the current problem first.

"Dad, Xiaobei and Xiaonan are clamoring to sleep with me tonight, so why don't you stay in their room for the night..."

The strict father sat on the sofa and patted the lonely pillow. "That's not necessary. I'll just lie down here..."

The old man continued to act tough.

Unfortunately, Qian Yiman did not spoil him. She could not just leave the old man alone and let him freeze in the living room all night.

"Dad, if you don't go to Xiaobei's room to sleep, I'll call Zhengting and tell him about it..."

"..."

"That's fine, that's fine. The sofa is indeed a bit hard. I really can't stand staying up late at my age..."

"Manman, drink your water and go to bed early. I'm going to bed first..."

After the strict father finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the stairs.

It turns out that threats are very practical, no matter how small or old they are.

"stop!"

At this moment, a third voice appeared in the living room.

Moreover, the owner of the voice successfully tripped up the strict father.

The strict father walked towards the living room step by step. Qian Yiman went up to help her sit on the sofa, "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"It's because your dad is angry with you."

In fact, she couldn't sleep because she was not used to the old man being away.

Qian Yiman hugged Yan's mother's arm and comforted her with a smile, "Mom, don't be angry. Anger will cause wrinkles..."

Mother Yan was not very angry at first, she just wanted to teach Father Yan a lesson. But now that Qian Yiman was acting like a spoiled child, the little bit of anger she had left disappeared without a trace.

She glanced at her guilty father and quickly gave him a way out. "Since Manman has spoken for you, forget about what happened today. Go back to your room and sleep."

"Lest you say I'm unkind..."

When the strict father heard that he could go back to his room and sleep, he was immediately happy.

"How could that be possible? You are a magnanimous man, and you are definitely the most considerate..."

"You just say nice things..."

The two old people finally reconciled and went back to their room to sleep.

No wonder people say that as people get older, they behave more and more like children.

Qian Yiman looked at the backs of the old couple, smiled and shook her head, then got up and went to the kitchen to pour water.
