Chapter 108: One Place Backward
"Aunt, how did you convince Yangfan's mother?" Sui Yi was very curious.
Is her aunt so awesome?
I just feel like I underestimated my aunt in the past.
"You don't understand this, do you?" Zheng Fanghui said complacently, "You are not our age, and you have never experienced the anxiety we feel when we are sitting at home with nothing to do. Naturally, you can't understand our feelings."
"When I gave birth to your brother, I had no job and was tortured by him every day. I also had to flatter your uncle and ask for living expenses."
"Your uncle is busy making money and has no time to spend with us. I have also been through a lot."
One year old... You look so proud that if someone doesn't know you, they would think this is some glorious thing.
Sui Yi finally understood that this was the effect of empathy.
Zheng Fanghui understood Yangfan’s mother’s psychology, so she naturally knew where the breakthrough point was.
However, Sui Yi suspected that his aunt always disliked her own son, perhaps because the grudge she had with her own son when he was "young and ignorant" was too deep.
Alas, her brother was so ignorant. His aunt had such a hard time at that time, why didn't his brother know how to be more considerate of his aunt and let her worry less...
How old was her brother at that time?
Before Zheng Fanghui boarded the plane hand in hand with Yang Fan's mother, she specifically asked her and Yang Fan to take care of each other at home.
It is impossible to take care of each other. At most, we can just eat with each other, ride in each other's cars or something like that.
Yangfan's father is often not at home, so before Yangfan's mother left, she hired a part-time worker to take care of him.
The hourly worker is mainly responsible for cleaning and cooking for Yangfan.
Shen Minde often invited Yang Fan to his home for dinner and sometimes even brought him breakfast.
Whenever Shen Minde had something to do or had to work overtime, Suiyi would automatically go to Yangfan's house for a meal.
"Yangfan, I've seen you and Suiyi come to school together many times." Yangfan's deskmate couldn't help but be curious. After seeing the two of them enter the school together again, he caught Yangfan and asked, "Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
"We live in the same community." Yang Fan had a rare smile on his face.
"Damn, when did this happen? Why didn't you ever tell me about it?" Yang Fan's deskmate looked surprised.
"You guys hid such a big thing from me, are you still brothers?" He said dissatisfiedly, "No, where do you live? I want to go and get to know you."
"How can good brothers not know each other's homes?"
"Well, I'll go to your house this weekend, and you can go to my house next weekend."
"It's settled then."
Yangfan's desk mate made the plans very clear. Yangfan had never entertained classmates before and was a little nervous.
He told Sui Yi about this matter. Sui Yi was quite straightforward and even called his desk mate.
It seems that youth should be like this, with good friends who will go crazy with you, play with you, and help you through the darkest days.
There are teachers who supervise your studies, urge you to make progress, and care about the disappointments in your growth.
The most important thing is to have parents. Although they may not be what you imagine, every step of your growth is the result of their hard work.
Looking at several people fighting and making noise, eating and drinking to their heart's content, making their home look like a battlefield, Yang Fan seemed to understand something and seemed to have let go of something.
A month later, Zheng Fanghui and Yang Fan’s mother finally ended their trip.
"Aunt, did you bring me a gift..."
"Aunt, where did you go? Why did you take so long to come back..."
"Aunt, aunt, you don't know that during the time you were away, your uncle made me thin because of hunger..."
While Sui Yi was chattering around Zheng Fanghui, Yang Fan's mother was also experiencing the touch from her beloved.
"Mom, thank you!" Yang Fan hugged his mother and expressed his love for her.
Yang Fan's mother stood there in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, she hugged her son and burst into tears.
At this moment, the pain that she had suppressed for so long was finally released.
Yangfan finally understood what Suiyi meant by "I am my mother's medicine."
His mother was sick, but he regarded her as the executioner who "killed" him and kept fighting with her.
In fact, reconciliation with their mother is the common salvation for them.
Zheng Fanghui's company finally notified the resumption of work. She couldn't wait to go to work and even dragged Yang Fan's mother to sign up for a dessert class.
It was another holiday, and Yangfan's desk mate came to see Yangfan. In order to make Yangfan's mother relax her vigilance, he even brought a book with him.
Their community has one apartment per floor, and no one can go up without a card.
Yangfan went downstairs to pick up his deskmate. As soon as he reached the door, he ran into Yangfan's mother who was dressed up to go out.
"Hello, Auntie." Yang Fan's desk mate greeted her stiffly.
I don’t know why, but Yangfan’s deskmate is quite afraid of Yangfan’s mother.
"Hello," Yang Fan's mother said gently, "Are you here to see Yang Fan?"
Yang Fan, his deskmate, nodded.
"Then have fun." Yang Fan's mother said to Yang Fan, "Mom and your Aunt Zheng are going out to do something, so we may not be back at noon."
As she spoke, she took out a few hundred-dollar bills from her bag, stuffed them into Yang Fan's hands while his deskmate stared in amazement, and said, "If Mom doesn't come back, there's food in the fridge. You can take your classmates out to eat, or order takeout."
"By the way, take Suiyi with you. Your Aunt Zheng is not at home, and your Uncle Shen is at work, so she will definitely have no lunch."
"Also, it's a good holiday. If you study hard, you can help her with her lessons. Her grades are causing Aunt Zheng a lot of worry."
After giving Yangfan instructions, his mother left. If Yangfan hadn't called him, his deskmate would have suspected that he was dreaming.
"Your mother has been possessed by another spirit?" Yang Fan's deskmate's eyes widened in shock.
By the way, Yangfan’s mother didn’t change this much the last time he came, right?
Or did Yangfan’s mother get upset by something?
Yangfan's mood has stabilized, but his grades have regressed...one place.
The head teacher was very anxious and even called Yangfan's mother. However, Yangfan's mother was busy with something else and just said a few perfunctorily that she would encourage the child and then hung up.
The head teacher, Mr. Xia, was still quite confused.
This parent didn’t have this attitude before?!
Wasn’t it Yangfan’s mother who answered the phone?
Teacher Xia fell into self-doubt.
By the way, what is Yangfan’s mother busy with?
Busy setting up the stall!
Yangfan’s mother actually likes to cook delicious food, especially desserts.
Half-suggested and half-forced by Zheng Fanghui, she signed up for a class to learn how to make desserts.
But we can’t just study, right?
So the two women discussed opening a dessert shop or something.
However, opening a store is not an easy matter, so Zheng Fanghui suggested that she start by setting up a stall, seeing how the situation goes, and getting some practice before doing anything else.
This woman who has a spiritual sustenance is different from the anxious housewife who takes care of her children all day long.
Yangfan's mother is now focusing on her career all day and is not as concerned about Yangfan as before.
