None of the three of them expected that Gu Fulan didn't cook, and she couldn't even be found.
Lu Yao pursed her lips and said to Duan Mingcheng, "Second brother, go find your mother outside. Duan Mingjie and I are cooking at home."
Although he knew that Gu Fulan would be fine, he couldn't help but worry about her getting into arguments with people outside.
Duan Mingcheng sighed, "I'll go out and look for him."
After Duan Mingcheng left, Lu Yao took Duan Mingjie to the kitchen.
Duan Mingjie wouldn't let her enter the kitchen.
It's too hot. The kitchen is even hotter.
Lu Yao smiled helplessly, "You've been working all day, and I can't let you cook alone anymore. Stop being so annoying. Let's do it together, faster."
Duan Mingjie couldn't resist her, so he had to do it with her.
She just didn't let her come to cook the pot.
It's easy to make dinner for dinner. I boiled the rice soup and heated up the steamed buns.
While Duan Mingjie was cooking the pot, Lu Yao prepared two cold dishes.
After cooking, Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao brought the food to the main room, and the voices of Duan Mingcheng and Gu Fulan came from outside.
Lu Yao happened to come out and smiled at Gu Fulan, "Mom, wash your hands and eat."
After saying that, Lu Yao went to the kitchen to serve food.
Gu Fulan stood awkwardly at the door.
She thought Lu Yao would be angry if she didn't cook, and would even ask her why she didn't work or cook.
Even if you don’t cook, you can’t find anyone yet.
However, it was nothing like what she imagined. Lu Yao still greeted her with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Gu Fulan was ashamed.
It seems she did something wrong.
Gu Fulan went to wash his hands in frustration and wanted to go to the kitchen to bring the food, but found that it was all taken to the main room.
Gu Fulan was inexplicably panicked.
She is arrogant and domineering, but she is also a reasonable person. If Lu Yao had a big fight with her, she might have ten thousand words to say to Lu Yao.
But Lu Yao was so gentle and good-tempered that she felt that she was the one who caused the disharmony in the family because of her unreasonable behavior.
Gu Fulan took a deep breath, walked to the main room, and sat down to eat with them.
Duan Mingjie handed Gu Fulan a steamed bun, and Gu Fulan took it blankly.
This was the most depressing meal Lu Yao had ever had since she got married.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Fulan couldn't bear it anymore.
"Yao Yao, I..."
Lu Yao smiled at her, "Mom, let's eat first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after dinner."
Gu Fulan opened his mouth and swallowed back his words.
After dinner, Gu Fulan took the initiative to clear away the dishes. Duan Mingjie stepped forward and said, "Mom, you go and lie down for a while. I'll do it myself."
Gu Fulan was so uncomfortable that she almost cried.
This young couple might as well have a hearty quarrel with her.
Lu Yao smiled at Gu Fulan, "Mom, please go back to the house and lie down for a while. When Duan Mingjie has finished packing, we will go over and talk to you."
For the first time, Gu Fulan experienced what Lingchi meant.
She said good and went back to the house to wait.
Duan Mingcheng felt sorry for her. He went to the kitchen and said to Duan Mingjie, "Just let my mother do some work, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable."
Duan Mingjie's voice was light and he said, "Mom is old and doesn't want to work. Let's not let her do it in the future."
Duan Mingcheng: "..."
He sighed helplessly, "Why are you angry with your mother?"
Duan Mingjie kept moving his hands, "Second brother, I'm not angry with my mother. What I said is true."
Duan Mingcheng: "..."
Come on, he can't afford to offend a room full of ancestors, so he can leave!
Gu Fulan sat on the bed, fidgeting.
This bed was bought for her by the third child and his wife. In her conscience, Lu Yao was good to her.
However, she was always uneasy without a child.
It doesn't matter what happens to her. Even if Lu Yao treats her badly, she doesn't care. She just hopes that Lu Yao can have a child.
Gu Miaomiao was right in saying something. Since she raised it, she had to let Yaoyao know her attitude. She couldn't just make a fuss and let it go, otherwise Lu Yao wouldn't know the seriousness of the matter.
Today she must have a good talk with Lu Yao about the child.
Just as he was thinking about how to tell them, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie walked in holding hands.
Duan Mingjie brought a stool and the two sat down in front of Gu Fulan.
Gu Fulan looked at the young couple eagerly and said, "Yao Yao..."
Before she finished speaking, Duan Mingjie interrupted her.
"Mom, from now on, you don't have to worry about the work at home or in the fields. If you have nothing to do, just go out and talk to people, or go to the county town and do something that makes you happy."
Hearing this, Gu Fulan panicked.
"Lao San, what do you mean?"
"Mom is getting old, and she can't do it anymore, and she doesn't want to do it anymore. As children, we can all understand," Duan Mingjie looked directly into Gu Fulan's eyes, his eyes were extremely serious, "This is not out of anger, it's my sincerity."
"My father left early. It's not easy for you to take care of us four siblings. My eldest brother left early. I know it's hard for you."
Hearing this, Gu Fulan's eyes turned red. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie's voice was low, "After eldest brother left, the burden of the family fell on you. Every time I see you so tired that you can't stand up, I blame myself, why I haven't grown up yet."
With a click, two tears hit the brick paved ground, and Gu Fulan's shoulders trembled.
"At that time, I told myself that I must become stronger so that my mother wouldn't have to work so hard."
Gu Fulan suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and his tears fell like dropped pearls, "Third brother."
Duan Mingjie choked up and said, "Mom, I won't say how powerful I am now, but there is absolutely no problem in supporting you. Even if you don't do anything, I can make sure you have enough food and clothing."
Gu Fulan shook her head, tears flying everywhere as she shook her head, and endless guilt enveloped her.
"The third child."
Gu Fulan choked up as soon as she opened her mouth, "I, I didn't mean not to cook, I just, I just..."
After saying that, Gu Fulan lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips and said, "Mom, if you don't want to do it, just do it. We won't say anything. However, I don't want you to listen to the instigation of outsiders and lose your temper with us."
Gu Fulan suddenly raised his head, "Lao San, I'm not being petty, I just, just want to..."
"You just want us to know that you are angry," Duan Mingjie said what Gu Fulan couldn't say, "You just hope that my wife and I can have a child as soon as possible. Do you want to tell us this?" ?”
Gu Fulan opened his mouth to deny it, but thought of his purpose and nodded.
She looked at Lu Yao with sincere affection, "Yao Yao, you have been married for half a year. How should I treat you based on your conscience?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Mom, I know how good you are to me."
Gu Fulan wiped away the tears on her face, stepped forward to hold Lu Yao's hand, and said in an urgent tone, "Yao Yao, I'm not afraid of your jokes. After you got married, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several nights. You are an educated youth from the city. , the third child married you, it was a blessing in his previous life, so no matter how good he is to you, I have no objection, I have no requirements for you, I just hope that you can give birth to a child for the third child, even if it is a child Any daughter will do, just one!"
Lu Yao frowned, "Mom, listen to me."
"No, you listen to me, otherwise I won't dare to say anything for a while."
Lu Yao nodded, "Okay, you say."
"Yao Yao, once you had a quarrel with the third child because of his uneasiness, and I advised you not to get along with the third child. However, I am more worried than the third child that you will leave him."
Hearing this, Lu Yao frowned.
"Yao Yao, I know who my son is. He will identify with you for the rest of his life. If you leave him one day, he will never marry again. I'm worried that he will be alone in the future. Yaoyao, you have no children. , you don’t know how it feels to be a mother, I don’t ask for anything, I just ask you to give him a child, even if you leave, he will still have something to think about, and he will not be alone."
