Chapter 803: Chapter 542: Knowing
Hearing her daughter say she wanted her husband to make a promise to her, Zhao Yulan hurriedly waved her hands, “No, no, no, my dear child, I’m just afraid you’ll suffer a loss, that’s why I gave you a few words of advice. How can you go talk to Xiaomi about this? He originally had nothing in his mind, but if I remind him like this, and he gets angry, who knows what might co of it.”
“Mom, you’re overthinking it, really…” Chuxia looked at Zhao Yulan with a smile on her face, “Zhou Mikang isn’t as narrow-minded as you say. If you don’t believe , give it a try.”
Zhao Yulan sighed sadly, “A daughter married off, indeed feels distant from her mother, just ntioning him and she’s not happy, sigh…”
“Mom…” Chuxia sized up Zhao Yulan, “Are you really angry?”
Zhao Yulan sighed, “I’m not angry, it’s just seeing my daughter, whom I raised, becoming distant from , makes feel uneasy.”
“Hehe…” Chuxia hugged her mother’s arm, rubbing her cheek on it back and forth, “No matter who I’m not close with, I can’t be distant with my parents. Mom, are you just teasing ?”
“What I’m saying is true.”
Feeling Zhao Yulan’s low spirits, Chuxia stopped being playful and sat up straight with a serious face, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing’s wrong.” Zhao Yulan took a long breath, smiled at her daughter, “I’m just teasing you, did you take it seriously?”
“Mom, I’m your own daughter, don’t you think I know your personality?” Pausing, Chuxia probingly asked, “Is it because it’s almost New Year and you miss ho?”
Zhao Yulan’s eyes reddened, “Xia, am I really that useless? I didn’t think much of it, but the closer it gets to the New Year, the less happy I feel.”
“Mom, after the New Year, on the third day of the lunar month, you and Dad can go back to visit Grandma and Grandpa for New Year’s. I’ll also try to get leave to go back with you. Counting the days, it’s not too far off. Just bear with it a little longer, okay?”
Zhao Yulan looked pleasantly surprised, “Xia, you’re really planning to go back with your dad and to visit your grandparents for New Year’s?” Then she wilted, “But first, you have to go to the Capital City for New Year’s visits. How can you have that much ti?”
What Zhao Yulan said was true. This year, we’ve acknowledged the Lin Family in the Capital City, so it’s only right to visit them first. After pondering for a bit, Chuxia said, “Mom said, big brother might co to pick you and Dad up for a visit to the Capital City on the first day of the lunar month. Then on the third day, Zhou Mikang and I can co together to take you back to the hotown to visit Grandma and Grandpa. That way, the ti spent at Grandma and Grandpa’s house is still the sa, and you’ll see them soon.”
“Xia…” Zhao Yulan looked conflicted. She really wanted to agree with her daughter’s suggestion, but her son-in-law is so busy, and her daughter too. She felt she couldn’t be so selfish. But letting her and Lin Baohe go back by themselves felt empty.
“Mom, don’t think too much about it. Once Zhou Mikang returns, I’ll inform him about it and ask him to prepare in advance. This is our first New Year after getting married, it’s only right to accompany you back.”
Zhao Yulan worriedly reminded, “Xia, speak gently, don’t rush, don’t be stubborn. You’re going to spend a lifeti with Xiaomi, you can’t always be so willful.
n, you know, they start by spoiling you, but if you keep causing trouble, they might get annoyed. Listen to your mother, don’t always act on your own whims.”
“Mom, do you really think I’m that immature?” Chuxia smiled helplessly, “I understand everything you’ve said, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Seeing Zhao Yulan wanting to say more, Chuxia pulled her outside, “Alright, alright, stop worrying about every little thing. Everyone’s outside, it’s impolite for us to stay cooped up in here.”
Sure enough, upon hearing Chuxia say this, Zhao Yulan stopped her words and followed her daughter into the living room.
“Are you two hiding to whisper secrets?” Seeing the mother and daughter co down, Old Madam Zhou teased with a smile, “Can you share what kind of secrets you were talking about?”
“My mom misses my grandma and grandpa…” Chuxia told Old Madam Zhou her plans, “Grandma, I want to make New Year’s visits with Zhou Mikang to our relatives on the first day and try to finish them all in one day. Do you think that’s okay?”
Old Madam Zhou nodded readily, “Why not, you don’t need a whole day, just go to the necessary ones, and leave the less important ones for another ti.”
Chuxia then looked at Lin Yanqiu, “Mom, Zhou Mikang said they celebrate New Year’s on the second day at Grandma’s. Can we go on the second day?”
“Sure, go to your grandma’s on the second day. Your aunts can also go, and you can all get together, and let them give you red envelopes. We can’t miss out on that.”
Hearing Lin Yanqiu say this, Chuxia laughed, “Mom is right. This is the first year I get red envelopes, I can’t let my aunts save on them.”
