"My uncle is actually very lonely when he is alone at home. He is alone in such a home. He really wants to live with you, but his biggest worry is that he is afraid of disturbing you. I'm afraid of causing trouble to you, and I'm afraid that his current body will be a drag on you. I want to tell him that home is actually warm, and everyone takes care of each other and accompanies each other." This is obviously Li Xiaoxiao's own dream, so her expression It will be so vivid.
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao.” Fang Zhiqiang said this from the bottom of his heart. He also understood why Li Xiaoxiao could persuade his father, because he had always learned from himself. I talked about my thoughts and my father’s current situation. He believed that he should be filial and believed that his father's current body must receive good treatment, but he failed to touch his father's deepest worries and what he needed most. When they reach their father's age, as their health deteriorates day by day and their sense of security is extremely lacking, they actually need someone to understand their inner needs. Li Xiaoxiao's words undoubtedly made his father see what he wanted to see most, the home he wanted to have.
"Just saying thank you is not enough. From now on, you have to treat me to dinner. If you treat me often, just eat the home-cooked food cooked by you and your uncle." Li Xiaoxiao's eyes kept shining, "I will also let my uncle taste it." Try my handiwork."
There is no doubt that when Li Xiaoxiao was weaving a beautiful picture of home for Fang Zhiqiang's father, she included herself in it, and she really wanted to blend in. This picture becomes part of it.
“As long as you are not afraid of getting fat and have time, you can eat here every day.” Fang Zhiqiang was filled with only gratitude and emotion. He found that Li Xiaoxiao was indeed far smarter than he thought, and he might even have never really understood Li Xiaoxiao.
"That's what you said, it's a puppy who doesn't keep his words." Li Xiaoxiao playfully scratched Fang Zhiqiang's nose. In the past, Fang Zhiqiang might have felt uncomfortable or even resisted. But this time he didn't refuse. Li Xiaoxiao's warm fingers scraped the tip of his nose. It was itchy and comfortable, and it seemed to make his heart skip a beat.
Li Xiaoxiao sighed: "Speaking of puppies, the biggest mistake this time was not bringing Xiaoxiao here. I miss him so much now. I don't know if he has lost weight or not. Eat well."
"Go back and watch it if you want. It's time for you to go back too." Fang Zhiqiang saw Li Xiaoxiao's frown and melancholy eyes, and knew that she was hiding it. How could it be possible that there was only one Xiaoxiao, how could it be indifferent to his parents, and he just didn't want to mention them in front of him.
"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, biting her lip and said, "Qiangzi, I will go back early tomorrow morning. Then I will go to work on the house as soon as possible, and I will clean up and go through the formalities with Sister Liu Yan. These. Take good care of your uncle and take him home as soon as possible." She was not talking about going back to Shanghai but going home, and sheThe word "jia" is very strong.
Fang Zhiqiang also nodded solemnly: "I will take him back when his condition stabilizes."
Li Xiaoxiao made a final request: "Qiangzi, give me a hug. How am I?"
Fang Zhiqiang only hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his arms and hugged Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao's body was warm and had a unique body fragrance, but Fang Zhiqiang didn't have any distracting thoughts at the moment. He just simply wanted to hug Li Xiaoxiao, and even, in his heart, he really hoped that this hug could last.
I don’t know how long it took before the two separated. Li Xiaoxiao said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go back first. Come back tomorrow morning to say goodbye to uncle."
That night, Fang Zhiqiang's father tossed and turned, obviously full of words. In the end, I only said a few words: "Qiang Wazi, I went to Shanghai this time because of Xiaoxiao. I didn't mean to force you. The last time I separated you and that girl, I felt uneasy... I know You like her, but the reality is here... As parents, you have no other hope, just that you can live a good life. This girl Xiaoxiao, I can't force you to be with her, she is really too nice . I really want you to have such a daughter-in-law, and the two of you can live happily together. If you are interested in something, don’t hold it back, don’t care about her family or other things, just treat her well. It’s not in vain to give her a girl’s home.”
The father said, sighing heavily: “I can’t force you to be with her. If it’s true, we won’t be together in the end. Go, then there’s nothing more to say. Xiaoxiao can’t find anyone who treats her well. It’s because our family doesn’t have this blessing. But nowadays, you have to treat others well no matter what you say. That’s it. Think of it as repaying her some kindness for me. We owe her something."
In the darkness, Fang Zhiqiang opened his eyes and listened to his father's words silently. His father saw Li Xiaoxiao's contribution, but he didn't know how much it was. In short, he might not be able to repay what Fang Zhiqiang owed Li Xiaoxiao in his lifetime.
The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao came earlier than usual. Fang Zhiqiang’s father had just woken up and saw her coming over with an insulated box: “Uncle, today is Spare ribs soup, drink it while it's hot."
"You have to go back, the driving time is long, and you don't want to sleep for a while. Why are you up so early and putting all this effort into it? I'll let you Qiangzi goes and buys it back, which saves you from spending money and being burdened." Fang Zhiqiang's father blamed Li Xiaoxiao because he felt sorry for him.
“Uncle, everything I buy outside is filled with random things. It has no nutrition at all and is not good for the body. I didn’t do anything, I just bought things and gave them to the restaurant owner to make. "Li Xiaoxiao smiled, looking a little sad:"Besides, I just want to spend more time with uncle. I'm going back soon. Waiting for you to go to Shanghai, uncle, will take at least a week. I think it's so long. I don't want to be separated from you for a day."
Li Xiaoxiao was really moved when she said this. She and Fang Zhiqiang’s father had a compatible temperament, and the care they took these days made them feel like they had become a family. So now that they were about to part ways, she felt really uncomfortable, with red eyes and she was holding back tears as she spoke.
“It’s okay, girl, it’s just for a week, I’ll be there then.” Fang Zhiqiang’s father comforted Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously: "Uncle, you promised me that you must keep your words."
"You must keep your words." Fang Zhiqiang's father nodded repeatedly, and then He took out a small box from under the pillow, sighed and said, "Girl, I don't know if our Qiangzi is lucky enough to marry you as his wife. Anyway, I believe from the bottom of my heart that you are our family." ”
