Joey went back to sleep after returning home, and woke up before lunch with a cane prepared for her by the bed.
Without seeing Lu Jingyun, Joey walked out of the room alone with a cane, and when he reached the stairs, he heard He Nian's voice.
"Aunt Li, is this dumpling made like this? I've never seen dumplings before."
"Hasn't Miss He ever eaten dumplings?"
"I've eaten it. I've eaten at a Chinese restaurant. But I haven't seen how it is made. I want to try it too, can I?"
"Okay, Miss He, I'll teach you..."
Joey went downstairs carefully, step by step, into the kitchen.
"Madam, you're awake. Why didn't you call me? It's too dangerous for you to go downstairs alone."
"It's okay, I can do these two by myself."
"Joey, look, I can make dumplings." He Nian happily showed the nondescript dumpling in his hand with a very innocent and lovely smile.
Joey sat on the chair by the dining table, watched He Nian's movements, and said with a smile, "Dumplings are not often made in the United States, but your parents should know how?"
"I don't have a mother, only a father."
Joey was stunned, "Sorry."
"It's fine. I like eating dumplings very much, but my father used to be very busy. If I wanted to eat something, he just asked the secretary to take me to the restaurant. Later, I wanted to invite a Chinese chef. I think it's okay to eat alone. It didn't make sense, so I refused. Most of the time, I was getting food from takeaways."
When He Nian said this, his mood was obviously not very good and a little depressed.
"In fact, men are all like this. They are busy with their careers, but they are all trying to make this family better. Your father also wants you to have a better life."
Joey was so comforted, but he didn't agree with Mr. He's actions in his heart.
"But your husband isn't like that. I think he's been with you all the time."
"Hehe..." Joey smiled, it was true. However, she can't say that my husband can't compare to anyone, can he?
"Joey, you are so happy!" He Nian said this with an envious tone.
"Being a father and being a husband may not be the same." Joey can only say so.
He Nian was silent again, and kept holding the poor dumpling with his head down, Joey could only pray for the dumpling.
"Joey, can you tell me what you know about your husband's mother?"
"She, I also heard from my husband, I haven't seen her."
"It's okay, just say what you know."
Seeing that the girl was really persistent, Joey only picked out what he could say.
"Mom is very beautiful and has a good temperament, there is no doubt about it. You can tell by looking at your face." Joey smiled at He Nian and continued: "She was the dream lover of many men in Kyoto back then. But in the end, only my father was the luckiest, marrying my mother and saving such a powerful son, my husband."
"How did your husband's father marry her? Does she like your husband's father very much?"
"This...is considered a marriage. The decision of the Lu family and the Lin family is good for both."
"Does that mean there is no emotion?"
"I can't say that completely. People are very likely to fall in love over time."
"Then what kind of person is your husband's father?"
"He, he is very handsome. He is gentle and elegant, and his smile makes people feel very clear and noble."
"You said he seemed perfect. Did she just like this kind of man?"
"He Nian, in fact, we can't speculate about what kind of person we like. After all, this has already passed. With the death of mother, everything is not important. You are for the mother you like. Man, are you going to imitate your mother and abandon your original self?"
"I don't, I just want to know, what does he like about your mother?"
"You are so sure, does he still like his mother now? Maybe, it's just a good memory. It's slowly fermenting in people's memory, and it's good to feel sorry for not getting it. But, back to reality, then It's like a beautiful picture, just appreciate it, and people can't really live only for the memories. Nothing is more precious than reality."
"yes?"
"Yes. Everyone has the beauty that we have encountered. It's just that when you think about it many years from now, there are a lot of wonderful feelings, but the people or things related to them have been blurred, what we think The beauty of it is just the feeling in that moment, in that situation.”
"What you said... I don't quite understand." He Nian was a little at a loss.
Joey smiled helplessly, "Actually, people who have experienced it will only know in the future. It's like today you like someone, you like them very much. However, many years later, you haven't been together, you fell in love with someone, and you Live with other men. At that time, when you recall the man you like now, maybe you can't remember what this man looks like at all, and you can't remember the things between you, but when you think about it , you will also think about the feeling that you like someone at this time, whether it is good, happy or bitter, all of which will be felt by Huawei. This is the experience of life, whether it is good or bad. "
"Looks like you're the kind of person who's been through that, that's why you're saying what you're saying today, isn't it?"
...Why are you reacting so quickly?
"We're talking about you. So, are you going to insist on knowing about your mother?"
"I've already come, so I have to find out."
"All right."
A stubborn little girl, I really don't know what she likes about that man? Is it really an old man?
Joey murmured in his heart and asked carefully, "He Nian, if the man you mentioned likes my mother, then he is not too young."
He Nian pouted in dissatisfaction. "He looks young, not old at all."
Well, well, it's really not young.
"You are also very young, and your husband is not too young." He Nian retorted a little unconvinced.
"He's only ten years older than me, so he's not old. Besides, he looks very young too!"
Two women, childishly younger than their own man.
"Hmph, but your husband is not good at all. Ruthless..."
"It's enough for him to be nice to me. If he is ruthless to outsiders, this is a good husband."
He Nian couldn't say anything about Joey, glared at Joey dissatisfied, and continued to make her nondescript dumplings.
Joey thought that these dumplings must be placed by Sister Li alone, and He Nian could make them by himself.
When Lu Jingyun came out of the study, he directly ignored He Nian and sat next to Joey, watching her bored pinching a small piece of dough with one hand, pressing it into a cake for a while, then rolling it into a strip and rolling it up like a small snake. It looks really rascal.
"What do you want for lunch? How about I make it for you myself?"
