I'm very surprised that I didn't have this kind of treatment in the past. What's the matter today?
With doubts came to the room, let me more flattered situation appeared. As we walked along, every servant, even the housekeeper, we met respectfully and politely. When we saw Yan Yan for the first time, we didn't feel strange at all. On the contrary, it was as natural as Yan Yan had lived in this home for a long time.
I think of what Huo Qingchuan said to me yesterday. Maybe he ordered people to do it.
With some uneasiness, we came to the living room where we might meet the master and wife of the Huo family, that is, my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Surprisingly, I didn't see my father-in-law holding the newspaper all the time, only my mother-in-law sitting up and drinking tea.
Hearing the sound, my mother-in-law raised her eyes and looked at us, especially Song Yu and Yan Yan.
We are the younger generation. We can't lose our manners in front of our elders. I think so. Let Yanyan stand in front of me, put her hands on her shoulders, and point to the proud old woman sitting in front of me, "Yanyan, call grandma quickly."
Maybe the image of this grandmother is slightly different from that of a grandmother in the general sense. Her daughter is obviously not as lively as she was just now, but she still looked at me, and then called out, "Hello grandma, I'm Yan Yan."
The mother-in-law listened to the little girl's name, but she just squeezed out a smile symbolically, "well, just come back."
This lukewarm reaction is quite in line with my imagination, and even better than my thought of ignoring yan'an'ai. I quickly introduced another person to my mother-in-law“ Mother in law, this is Song Yu, my cousin. "
After all, it's adults. Song Yu's performance is very natural.
"Hello, Mrs. Huo. My name is Song Yu. I'll come with my cousin this time. I hope I haven't bothered you."
See, I said that Song Yu is very good at speaking in front of his elders.
Coupled with his appearance effect, he successfully won the favor of my mother-in-law.
"If you're a late family member, then we're a family. If there's anything in the family that can be bothered, just sit down."
Then my mother-in-law may feel that she put the cart before the horse. While greeting Song Yu, she also looks at her little granddaughter, "Yan Yan, come and sit down."
Then she whispered a few words to the maid standing by, and the maid stepped back.
I took my daughter to sit not far from my mother-in-law, while Song Yu sat on the other side of us.
"How old is Yan Yan?" Mother in law does not seem to hate the little granddaughter, patience, with the standard rich wife's tone asked Yan Yan.
"I'll be seven in the new year." Yan Yan answers with a small face.
"Good boy." To my surprise, my mother-in-law even reached out and touched her face, which made me believe Huo Qingchuan's saying that his mother likes children.
"Yan Yan will go to school next year." The daughter didn't resist this strange grandmother, she said softly.
"Well, you have to study hard." She said with a smile.
I am quite satisfied with the interaction between my mother-in-law and my daughter, which is beyond my expectation.
The maid who went out just now came over with a few glasses of juice and gently put them on the table in front of us.
"I don't know what you like, so I told them to squeeze the orange juice and try it." Mother-in-law rarely warmly greet us.
I'm flattered. I've been in the Huo family for so long, and I've never had such treatment. I really don't know whether Yan Yan won the favor of her grandmother or Song Yu made my mother-in-law look at her differently.
I carefully took a cup of juice and handed it to Song Yu, and then I took a cup for my daughter.
Yan Yan took a drink from the cup in her hands. The fruit touched her mouth. I just took out my handkerchief and wiped it for her. I don't care about her image. I'm afraid that the picky grandmother can't stand it.
But my mother-in-law didn't say anything I was worried about. She just laughed, "your father-in-law went to the board of directors with Ogawa today, so he wasn't at home, so I prepared a gift for my little granddaughter on behalf of him."
With that, my mother-in-law took out a red envelope from the maid's hand and handed it to me.
What's the surprise? I opened my eyes to the stern old lady of the Huo family. It's like a different person if I don't see her one day.
I always feel guilty for not accepting the red envelope from my mother-in-law.
"What's the matter?" My mother-in-law asked me.
"Grandma, we are a family. I can't accept this red envelope." I faltered.
My mother-in-law seemed to look at me, "who said this is for you, this is for Yan Yan." Then she handed the red envelope to Yan Yan, "come on, this is a gift from my grandparents. Please accept it."
Since my daughter was sensible, I have taught her not to take other people's things casually. At the moment, this kind of education has played a role. My daughter looks up at me instead of picking up the thick paper bag.
"Granny, we're not paid for our work. What's more, it's not the time to receive red envelopes at all. I really don't know what to do. If Huo Qingchuan were here at this time, it would be better.
"Little night sister, you can take it. I think it's the love of my wife and husband for my little granddaughter. It's just like giving new year's money to children. It's not polite." One side of Song Yu advised.
My mother-in-law was immediately overjoyed. "Xiaoyu is right. It should be our present to our little granddaughter."
I sighed and touched my daughter's head. "Thank you, grandma."
The daughter carefully received the red envelope, and then called out, "thank you, grandma!"
My mother-in-law smiles. She smiles from the bottom of her heart.
"I've asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. Xiaoyu won't leave today. Let's stay for dinner." Her mother-in-law, like an elder of a normal family, said.
Song Yu didn't refuse at all. "It's good. I was at my sister's house yesterday, and I'm at my brother-in-law's today. I don't have to solve it by myself." He looked happy and spoke naturally.
"Granny, I'll help, too." I stood up and said, "I didn't prepare medicated food for you and your father-in-law yesterday. Today, I can't break it any more."
This time, mother-in-law did not say anything more, just nodded with a smile.
Let Yan Yan follow Song Yu to accompany Huo Qingchuan's mother, I came to the kitchen.
At the moment, my mood is very wonderful. When I don't hold hope, once things exceed my expectations, I will get great happiness. What I say is my mood now. I didn't expect that Huo Qingchuan's parents accepted Yan Yan so easily. It seems that I don't have to worry about how to make them like this stepdaughter in the future.
Not once did I feel so relaxed when I cooked the soup. I even hummed a little song.
I don't worry that Song Yu and my mother-in-law will have an awkward atmosphere without me. If an old lady can't make it, he won't be Song Yu.
Sure enough, when I prepared the medicated food for two people and walked out of the kitchen, I saw my mother-in-law laughing for the first time.
I am deeply impressed by Song Yu's ability, but also feel endless sorrow for myself. Why can't my daughter-in-law get along with her mother-in-law so casually?
Song Yu's sharp eyes suddenly saw me. He motioned to me with his eyes, as if to show off something.
I came to them helplessly, "mother-in-law, your Dihuang jujube porridge is cooked, now I'll serve it to you?"
My mother-in-law was still immersed in the conversation and laughter with Song Yu just now. She seemed to be in a good mood. She said to me, "no, your father-in-law and Xiaochuan will be back soon. Let's get together then." Then she thought of something like, "you sit down and chat, don't always avoid me."
I swear I didn't want to avoid her. I just felt nervous when I saw her face. In order to avoid making fun of her, I have to reduce the chance of contacting her.
"What kind of Dihuang jujube porridge? It sounds delicious." Song Yu noticed my words and asked suspiciously.
"You can't drink it if it's good. It's made by my daughter-in-law in order to recuperate my body. It has nothing to do with your men." My mother-in-law even grabbed my hand and patted it gently.
Song Yu seems very curious, "eh? But I know that most of the things that women drink are tonic, and it doesn't matter if men drink a little. Moreover, Rehmannia glutinosa and red dates don't sound like medicinal materials that only women can eat. "
"OK, I'll give you a bowl later. You can try it." Her mother-in-law said with a smile, "my daughter-in-law's hands are really skillful, and her cooking is really good, even the picky old man in my family praised it."
Song Yu nodded with empathy, "I know. Since I ate the food cooked by my sister, I have gained several jin."
What's the matter with you? If you get fat, I'll cook for you every day. I scream in my heart.
"Yes, Xiaoyu, you are too thin." My mother-in-law also said“ I often come here in the future, and I'll let them make delicious food for you. "
"Thank you, Mrs. Huo." Song Yu gives a little smile, which is very confusing.
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between them, I really admire Song Yu.
He not only won the favor of Madame Tang Tang Huo, but also unconsciously let me this disliked daughter-in-law also touched light, I am really glad that he can follow.
Chatting, listening to the door of the servants said a, sir and young master back.
So when Huo Qingchuan and his father-in-law stood at the door, what they saw was the four of us talking and laughing. I clearly captured Huo Qingchuan's expression, which had a moment of moving.
"Here you are." Huo Qingchuan came to us with the help of Lu Feng.
The head of the family finally came back. I put away my relaxed expression and let Yan Yan come over. Then I took her to my father-in-law and said, "Yan Yan, this is my grandfather. Please call."
Because just now with the mother-in-law between the happy and relaxed conversation, the daughter is not afraid of now, the voice is clear and sweet, "grandfather good, I am Yan Yan!"
My father-in-law has always been a strict man. He is similar to my father, so, as expected, his reaction is not so obvious.
"Well, it's good to stay here in the future."
