Chu Molin and Qin Xue sat in their seats, waiting for Nangong Shulan to finish washing up before they started eating.
“Why don’t you start eating? You don’t have to wait for me; it’s not like I am a stranger.” Seeing them sitting there without touching their food, Nangong Shulan realized they were waiting for her to join them.
Nangong Shulan felt warmhearted, knowing that they were showing respect for her as a mother.
“Go ahead and eat. The food won’t taste good if it gets cold.” Nangong Shulan picked up her chopsticks, and only after she took the first bite did Qin Xue and Chu Molin begin to eat.
“Mom, should we send a telegram home?
Tell them you’ll stay here for half a month, and then once Chu Molin’s injury is healed, I’ll go back with you.” Qin Xue would naturally have to wait for Chu Molin to recover before they could return.
“Sure, let’s send it tomorrow.” Nangong Shulan thought half a month might be a bit long, but her son-in-law’s injury hadn’t healed yet, and her daughter would certainly be uneasy about leaving him.
It didn’t matter if it took a little longer, as she and Xiao Yu could go back with Qin Xue, which would put her son-in-law at ease. This seemed like a win-win solution.
“Mom, after dinner, I want to show you something and see if you like it.” Qin Xue thought of the clothes she had brought back from Fang Xiu.
“What is it? You’re being so mysterious.” Nangong Shulan became curious after hearing Qin Xue’s words.
“Let’s finish eating first; I’ll tell you afterward.” Qin Xue smiled mischievously as she said this.
Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue’s playful expression, smiled indulgently, and picked up a piece of chicken to put in her bowl.
Qin Xue looked at the piece of meat in her bowl and smiled sweetly as she picked it up to eat.
Nangong Shulan didn’t interrupt the interaction between the couple.
She quietly ate her meal, knowing her daughter’s happiness was more important than anything else. Perhaps that was the greatest wish of every parent.
As soon as they finished eating, Qin Xue immediately pulled her mother into the room without even bothering to clean up their bowls and chopsticks.
She left the cleanup to Chu Molin.
Chu Molin resigned himself to the task and carried the dishes to the kitchen and began cleaning the table with a garbage can.
In the bedroom, the mother and daughter were admiring the beautiful clothes.
“Mom, this is for vou. Do you like it?” Qin Xue handed the clothes to her mother.
Qin Xue put Chu Molin’s clothes aside, and then set aside the clothes for Mr. Qin and Qin Yu. She kept Xiao Yu’s and her mother’s clothes together.
“These clothes, are they for me?” Nangong Shulan asked in surprise as she looked at the beautiful clothes.
“Yes, they’re for you. Everyone in the family gets a set.” As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xue remembered something.
It seemed that during a chat with her mother, her mother had mentioned her grandparents. Qin Xue had forgotten to get clothes for the elderly couple.
It looked like she would have to get clothes made for them when she accompanied her mother to the city to send the telegram.
As for their sizes, she could simply ask her mother later.
Qin Xue believed that as a daughter-in-law, her mother must have made clothes for her grandparents.
Nangong Shulan looked at the clothes in her hands, her eyes welling up with tears. How long had it been since she had worn such beautiful clothes?
It wasn’t that Thunder treated her poorly; it was that most of the time, their priority was their children and the elderly, then themselves.
Thunder always ensured that Nangong Shulan had the best things, but even so, their life was still frugal. Fortunately, though their daily life was frugal, their family was happy together, and that was something money couldn’t buy.
“Mom, it’s just a few clothes. There’s no need to get so emotional.” Qin Xue said coarsely, just to interrupt her mother’s thoughts.
“Yes, you’re right, I’m emotional. It’s my daughter showing her filial piety; how can I not be moved?” Nangong Shulan went along with Qin Xue’s words and pushed her thoughts aside.
“Hehe, it’s what I should do as a daughter.” Qin Xue leaned her head on her mother’s shoulder..
