Chapter 55 Gentle and Refined
In the room.
Feng Jiashu tidied up the fruit peels that Tian Tian had peeled off, saying, "You can't eat any more, it'll make you feel hot and bothered."
Tian Tian nodded gently and picked up the fruit peels in front of her one by one and threw them into the trash can.
Accidentally, a fruit pit fell to the ground and rolled to He Qiaoyun's feet as she entered the room.
Tian Tian subconsciously showed a look of fear.
He Qiaoyun was preoccupied with the dishes she was going to cook and didn't notice Tian Tian's expression. Instead, she picked up the fruit pit, walked over, and threw it into the trash can.
The fear in Tian Tian's eyes turned into confusion.
Aunt He wasn't angry, nor did she hit her..
Seeing that Tian Tian was staring blankly at her, He Qiaoyun asked in confusion, "Tian Tian, is there something on my face?"
Tian Tian shook her head. "No."
He Qiaoyun picked up the TV remote, turned on the TV, switched to the children's channel, and said, "Tian Tian, watch TV by yourself. Auntie will go cook first, okay?"
Tian Tian nodded, "Okay."
Feng Jiashu followed He Qiaoyun into the kitchen.
They were busy in the kitchen, while Tian Tian watched cartoons in the living room. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and this was Tian Tian's happiest day.
Soon, a sumptuous lunch was served.
The two of them, who had been busy in the kitchen for half a day, were also hungry. Even Feng Jiashu, who usually had to manage his figure, couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.
Seeing Tian Tian eating her rice nervously, He Qiaoyun kept putting food on her plate, smiling and saying, "Eat more, so you can grow taller."
Tian Tian seemed to be starving. She ate whatever He Qiaoyun picked up, burying her head in her food and finishing two bowls of rice, drinking all the soup, and even eating some vegetables.
Feng Jiashu is usually busy and often goes on business trips, sometimes for a whole week at a time. He rarely stays home to have meals with Tian Tian.
It's frustrating to admit, but it's not that he doesn't care about Tian Tian; it's that he doesn't know how to take care of her.
He is a single man without children, while Tian Tian is a growing girl. Since men and women are different, they should keep their distance in their interactions.
In addition, due to his busy work schedule, he had no choice but to hire a nanny to take care of her.
But in the past six months, Tian Tian's condition has been getting worse and worse since she fell into the water. He feels guilty but doesn't know what to do.
Fortunately, He Qiaoyun appeared. Tian Tian seemed to really enjoy being with her; she even ate better when she was with her... We need to find a way to keep He Qiaoyun here.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, He Qiaoyun was about to clear the table when Feng Jiashu quickly got up and said, "I'll do it. It's 2:30. You go and get busy in the orchard."
He Qiaoyun declined, saying, "You're a guest, it's not right for a guest to have their table cleared. There's no rush at the orchard..."
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll take this call."
When I returned after answering the phone, the table had already been cleaned up, Feng Jiashu was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Tian Tian was leaning against the kitchen door frame, looking inside.
For some reason, He Qiaoyun suddenly thought of her ex-husband.
She had never seen Xu Hui enter the kitchen in all the years she had been married to him, not even once, let alone wash dishes or clean the kitchen.
The man before her was gentle, refined, a gentleman who respected others, and exceptionally responsible. Having him pretend to be her boyfriend was clearly a bargain...
Tian Tian turned her head, her beautiful big eyes looking at He Qiaoyun, and then ran away.
While busy at work, Feng Jiashu subconsciously turned around and said to He Qiaoyun, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of the dishes."
He Qiaoyun said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I have something to do. The house key is on the table. Call me if you need anything, or you can come to the orchard to find me."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "Okay."
He Qiaoyun walked out of the kitchen and saw Tian Tian sitting obediently on the sofa in the living room. She then took out two boxes of cookies from the cabinet next to her, glanced at the expiration date, and handed them to her, saying, "Here, Auntie has to go now. Tian Tian, can you play by yourself?"
Tian Tian took the two boxes of cookies and nodded gently.
After washing the dishes, Feng Jiashu walked out of the living room and found Tian Tian eating cookies.
"Didn't you just have lunch? Are you happy to be at Aunt He's house?"
Tian Tian held the cookie box without saying a word, swallowing the cookie in her mouth.
Feng Jiashu said, "Let's go to the orchard to find Aunt He."
"it is good."
The two stayed in the orchard for a while. Tian Tian loved picking fruit and filled her little fruit basket to the brim. Her face was flushed from the heat, and she looked very satisfied.
Before leaving, seeing that Tian Tian liked it, He Qiaoyun gave Feng Jiashu four more boxes of fruit, two boxes each of longan and lychee.
Feng Jiashu quickly declined, saying, "No need for so many."
He Qiaoyun said, "There's not much, but Tian Tian loves to eat it."
When Tian Tian heard her name called, she looked up at He Qiaoyun, her little head seemingly lost in thought.
After a final push and pull, He Qiaoyun won, and the four boxes of fruit were loaded into the trunk.
When it was time to leave, Tian Tian hesitated to get into the car, seemingly very reluctant to leave.
He Qiaoyun squatted down and teased gently, "Does Tian Tian want to stay and pick fruit with Auntie?"
Tian Tian nodded, but Feng Jiashu said, "Aunt He is very busy. She will only have time to spend with you after she finishes her work. Be good, let's go back."
After hesitating for a long time, Tian Tian finally replied, "Okay."
*
The next day.
noon.
He Qiaoyun had just finished delivering fruit to the fruit shop and was about to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner when she suddenly received a call from her daughter.
She answered the phone: "Hey, what's up?"
Xu Hemei on the other end of the phone said excitedly, "Mom! I got a job at Peijiang Hospital! I can start work tomorrow!"
He Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows, genuinely happy for her daughter, and asked, "Great, what kind of reward do you want?"
Xu Hemei's voice was filled with joy as she said in a spoiled tone, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore, why would I need a reward?"
He Qiaoyun said, "Yes, Mom will send you a red envelope later. Use it to buy a nice dress, get your hair done, and go to your new workplace looking happy and beautiful."
"Thank you, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hemei received a transfer of 5,000 yuan. She accepted it with a smile, then left the hospital and drove to the mall.
It's so comfortable not having my mother-in-law nagging in my ears.
She first went to get her hair treated and had Tony curl it, then walked out of the hair salon looking beautiful and entered the mall.
When they usually go shopping, He Qiaoyun always pays for her with her card. But now that it's her turn to go shopping, she's being stingy and reluctant to spend money. She tried on a pair of shoes that cost six or seven hundred yuan for a long time but couldn't bring herself to buy them.
"Miss, these shoes you're wearing are our newest item this season, they're very popular. We just received this stock, and we only have a few pairs left," the salesperson enthusiastically recommended.
Xu Hemei looked at the shoes on her feet, her expression hesitant, but finally decided against it. "They're so popular, there are probably a lot of people wearing the same style. Forget it."
Salesperson: "...Okay."
Xu Hemei wandered around for a while, but couldn't find any clothes she liked. Feeling bored, she turned around and walked out.
In the distance, she saw a familiar figure from behind.
Duan Fei.
Duan Fei stood under the restroom sign in the mall, seemingly waiting for someone.
The mall was deserted on a weekday, with only a few people walking around. Suddenly, Duan Fei turned around and came face to face with Xu Hemei.
Startled, he hurried toward Xu Hemei, his anxious tone tinged with reproach, "What are you doing here!"
