Today is a sunny day, the sun is shining brightly.
Yu Xun carried the thermos bucket to a commercial street not far from home. In a shop, she saw her grandma sitting at a long table, lowering her head to work, applying glue to the soles of shoes.
This is a shop that makes shoes.
There are men and women in the store. Grandma is the oldest. There are three other middle-aged women and three middle-aged men, one of whom is the boss.
Yu Xun entered the house carrying a thermos bucket, first called "grandma", and then greeted everyone else in the house. The men and women called uncle and aunt, and the boss directly said hello to the boss.
Everyone in the room looked up at her, then smiled at her, and said, "Yu Xun is here, bringing food to grandma again."
"This kid is so filial."
Grandma's eyes widened when she heard people praising her granddaughter. She was happier than others praising herself. She responded to everyone, took the thermos bucket from Yu Xun's hand, and said to Yu Xun with a smile:
"You have a lot of homework, so don't bring me breakfast. I'll go back to eat later. I'll finish it here in about three hours."
Yu Xun said: "It's okay, we're not far apart." Then she looked at the glue on the table with some worry and said, "Grandma, when you apply the glue, do you want to wear a mask?"
Before grandma could speak, the boss spoke first. He smiled and said to Yu Xun, "It's okay, our glue is not poisonous."
Grandma also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's not poisonous and has no smell at all."
Yu Xun said nothing more, and she didn't dare to stay longer for fear of disturbing everyone's work, so she said goodbye to everyone and left.
After she left, the people in the room praised her some more.
"This child is so filial, Grandma Mei. She is worried about your health."
"Yes, Grandma Mei, your granddaughter is so kind and capable. She is also a high school student, but my granddaughter doesn't do any work. She is just like her ancestors every day."
"They are all the same, and my family is the same. They open their mouths and stretch out their hands when the meal comes, and they have a bad temper. Today's children are very spoiled."
"Yes, there are very few sensible children like Yu Xun. Grandma Mei is lucky. What do your son and daughter-in-law do to teach their children so well?"
Grandma immediately smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law may be working in a company run by foreigners, a white-collar worker, or a unit leader."
"No wonder you taught your daughter so well!"
Grandma smiled and nodded, thinking, yes, her nettle is so good, everyone likes it outside, it would be great if she could please her like this in front of her mother.
Liu Ya is working overtime in the company at this time, and she is the company's business manager.
The Hong Kong head office will come down for inspection on Monday, and almost every department is working overtime this weekend.
After signing a document, she went to the company tea room to drink a cup of milk tea, and chatted with her best friend and the company's financial manager while drinking tea.
My best friend asked: "Your family Xun Xun and Chu Chu will take the college entrance examination soon, right?"
Liu Ya hummed.
My best friend asked again: "How are your grades? Xun Xun's grades are better, right?"
Liu Ya immediately snorted, "So what if he has good grades, this kid has a bad heart."
"Oh? What do you mean?" My best friend was very surprised.
Liu Ya said: "Have you seen this? I haven't called you mom for half a year, and I never call you every weekend when I come back."
"Ah? Why is that?"
"What's the reason? She was born like this. Do you think I'm not good to her? She and Chu Chu are twins, but I usually stick to her first. I put her first when it comes to food, drink, clothes, and shoes. As long as you don’t buy it, once you buy it, you’ll get two sets of the same thing, but you see, she has no feelings for me as a mother at all.”
My best friend was very puzzled, thinking about Yu Xun's child, and then said: "Does she blame you for leaving her in the country when she was a child? I think that child is quite good. When I went to your house that time, she was washing dishes and She mops the floor. She acts like an adult and is very polite. She calls me auntie whenever she sees me."
"That's all for people to see." Liu Ya said, without any joy in her eyes, "Was I willing to send her to the countryside back then? We were so poor at that time and we started from scratch."
My best friend said: "Yes, but don't mind it too much. After all, she is your own daughter. Children of this age are all rebellious. My family will not call me if nothing happens."
"Hmph, I don't expect this daughter anyway. With her attitude toward us now, how can I expect her to provide for us in our old age in the future?"
