The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Lele smiled when he heard that, paused for a moment, and replied, "I used to think you had a very cheerful personality, smiling every day, as if you had no worries."

After hearing what Lele said, Lin Xianglan stopped what she was doing.

"now what?"

"Now, you should have troubles!" Lele grinned.

"Hehe, there is no one without worries! My biggest worry is that you don't give me a grandson!" Lin Xianglan said, looking at Lele with a smile.

Lele stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to answer.

"Wu Ya told me that he doesn't want a baby yet. I won't urge you anymore. You guys should decide for yourself!" Lin Xianglan followed Le Le's actions.

"Oh." Lele smiled. Wei Wuya really made people feel at ease.

After half an hour of activities, the two returned upstairs and breakfast was ready.

Lele and Lin Xianglan washed their hands and came over to have breakfast. Wei Qifeng also came out. Seeing Lin Xianglan's rosy face, he was a little surprised. "What's wrong with your face?"

"Ah?" Lin Xianglan was a little scared and wanted to run to look in the mirror.

"Haha, it's okay, Mom. I just moved around for a while, and then there was a cold wind. It was hot when I came back indoors, so my face is a little red. It looks good." Lele winked at Lin Xianglan.

"Oh." Lin Xianglan sat down.

Wei Qifeng looked at Lele and smiled.

Wei Qifeng went to work, and Lin Xianglan and Lele went to the park.

In the morning, the park was not crowded. In addition to the lanterns, there were some ice sculptures and a long ice slide.

Some elderly people bring their children to the park to stroll and skate on the slide, and the place is very lively with laughter and joy.

Lele hesitated for a moment, then asked Lin Xianglan, "If you had a grandson or granddaughter, would you bring him/her to the park?"

Lin Xianglan laughed out loud, "I don't know, but I rarely come to the park."

"You don't often hang out with others, chat, or play cards." Lele said as they walked, holding Lin Xianglan's arm.

"Means nothing!"

The two people were talking in a random manner.

As I was walking, I saw a pregnant woman in front of me, carrying a bag of apples. Somehow the bag broke and the apples were scattered all over the ground. The pregnant woman tried hard to squat down and pick them up.

Lin Xianglan was stunned looking at the pregnant woman's big belly.

Lele let go of Lin Xianglan's arm and hurried forward.

"Stand still, I'll pick it up for you."

Lele squatted down, picked up the apples one by one, and tried to put them into the bag, but the bag broke.

"wait."

"Mom, wait a minute, I'll go find a bag over there."

As he said this, he trotted to the cleaning room at the other end of the park, asked the cleaning lady for a bag, and ran back.

Lele helped the pregnant woman pack the apples.

Pregnant women are always thankful.

Lele smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake! Your belly is so big, are you going to give birth soon?"

"Well, the due date is coming soon, in these few days." The pregnant woman looked at Lele with a smile.

Lele took Lin Xianglan's arm, waved goodbye and left.

At night, Lele was reading in the room. Lin Xianglan knocked on the door, but it was not closed.

Lin Xianglan entered the house and closed the door.

Lele smiled and put away the book, "Is there something wrong, Mom?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just bored being alone. You read your book. I'll sit in this room for a while." Lin Xianglan said as she leaned on the sofa in front of the window, looking at the night view outside.

"Do you want to read a book?" Lele said as he flipped through the bookshelf. After flipping through the bookshelf, his hand touched "The Harvard Happiness Course" (a book published in 2011, those who are interested can take a look), hesitated for a moment, and took it down.

"Mom, do you want to take a look at this? Do you like it?" Lele said as he handed the book to Lin Xianglan.

Lin Xianglan looked at the name and smiled, "Harvard and happy again. This is the book you are reading."

Having said that, I couldn't help but open it.

He frowned at first, then relaxed, read a few pages, closed the book, and said, "It's too thick, I'll read it slowly." He put the book on the sofa.

Lele put away the book and sat on the sofa.

"I don't know what life I owed you!" Lin Xianglan suddenly said inexplicably.

"Ah?" Lele was stunned for a moment.

"I've never spent so much time and effort on anyone in my life," Lin Xianglan added.

"Oh..." Lele didn't know how to respond.

"But seeing you and Wu Ya doing well, I'm also very happy." Lin Xianglan kept looking out the window.

"When your mother gave birth to you, your father didn't even go to accompany her. I was so angry when I saw that. How could there be such a man in the world!

But, it doesn't matter if I accompany you or not, it seems to be the same."

Lele didn't know what Lin Xianglan was going to say, so she reached out and held Lin Xianglan's hand, listening silently.

"At that time, my grandfather asked me to marry Wei Qifeng, but I didn't want to. He was six years older than me, not good-looking, and short.

When we went to the countryside, he came to our house every day to work, play chess with my grandfather, and talk about politics and economics. My grandfather liked him very much.

Lin Xianglan stopped telling her story. The night turned the glass window into a mirror. Lele saw Lin Xianglan, who was as calm as water, through the window. She had no expression and her eyes showed neither joy nor sadness.

"Then we got married. I didn't sleep with him for three months.

Later, his parents found out about this and arranged for us to go to the Construction Corps to visit his uncle - his uncle.

We can’t sleep separately at our relative’s house…”

Lin Xianglan turned her head to look at Lele, her expression calm and without any ripples, "That was the time when Wuya was born!"

Lele's heart was in turmoil. She opened her mouth slightly and didn't know how to react for a long time.

"I was struggling at first, I even wanted to die, but...

Hi... Anyway, I have the final say at home, and he obeys me in everything, but I have never gotten over that hurdle in my heart. After Wuya was born, he was a good father, except for being a little busy.

Having a child means that life will be like this!"

......

The two people sat quietly.

Lele thought: Lin Xianglan’s stubbornness towards her is no different from that of her grandfather, right?

It was a story that happened more than 20 years ago, but it is about to be repeated exactly.

She remembered the night when Wei Wuya suddenly came back, opened the door with a key, and then...

Her eyes were a little wet and she let go of Lin Xianglan's hand.

Lin Xianglan looked at Lele and asked, "Do you blame me?"

Tears rolled down Lele's eyes. She wiped them away gently and shook her head, "No."

After a moment of silence, Lele said, "Why should I blame you? Should I blame you for pulling me out of the quagmire of poverty?

I have never complained, but there are some things that are beyond our control, such as fate.

It’s strange how it always plays out in the same way, over and over again!”

Lele let out a long sigh, her heart was not calm at all. Lin Xianglan told her all this, and she knew there must be more to it.

For example, why didn't she want to marry Wei Qifeng? Was it really just the reason she said?

Lin Xianglan said, "I wanted to die..." but she didn't finish. So did she really want to "die" at that time?

I suddenly remembered the tablet in the ancestral hall. If I were to calculate this way, that date would probably be the day I discovered I was pregnant...
