Chapter 44 Pastoral Visitor

Friday, Yinuo’s house.

After dinner, Yinuo sat next to the crib, shaking the rattle to tease Yueyue. Yueyue stretched out her hand and giggled.

Grandma and aunt were both free. Grandma discussed with Yinuo and said, "Yinuo, I have discussed it with aunt. Aunt will go back tomorrow. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the new year, I asked your aunt not to come. Yue Yue is almost five months old."

Yinuo looked at grandma, then looked at aunt inquiringly. It’s the New Year, and it’s time for my aunt to go back. There are a lot of things to do at my aunt’s house, like cleaning the house, steaming buns, making dumplings, celebrating the New Year, etc. How can uncle do this? Yuling and Zilin also want to go home to pay New Year greetings. An aunt is indispensable in the family.

The aunt continued what grandma said, “Well! There are only a few days left before the New Year, and it will take two days to clean the house. There are still some miscellaneous tasks. Your uncle is a big man, and he can't do these. I said I will come back half a year after the New Year, and wait Yueyue can walk and go back. Your grandma just doesn’t agree."

Before Yinuo could speak, grandma said, “I have taken care of several children, and I still can't take care of them. When I get tired, I put Yueyue in the stroller and push her to play in the community below. Now. Don’t worry about it. In the evening, when Yi Nuo comes back, I will feel more relaxed. Even if you are here, I don’t need you here.”

The aunt looked at Yinuo helplessly, as if saying to Yinuo: Look, grandma is so stubborn and won't listen to anyone.

"grandmother!……"

"Yi Nuo, don't say anything anymore. Which family can't take care of a child by one person, and which family needs two people to take care of it. I can do it alone." Grandma interrupted Yi Nuo's words directly.

Yinuo could only look at her aunt helplessly.

Grandma's attitude was very tough, so I better not speak. If I did, it would only provoke scolding from grandma.

Let’s talk about what happens after the new year! If that doesn't work, ask your aunt to come or hire a nanny.

The evening conversation ended with grandma's tough attitude.

The next day, my aunt cooked breakfast, and after finishing the meal, she took her luggage home. Yinuo didn't even have time to buy something for her aunt to take back. She gave her money, but her aunt didn't want it.

Yinuo could only keep his aunt's kindness deeply in his heart.

After my aunt left, grandma got busy, marinating bacon and fish, steaming steamed buns, making dumplings, croquettes, buying New Year's goods, buying New Year's food... The atmosphere of the New Year became intense.

"I won't go back this year, and you and Yueyue shouldn't go back either. Yueyue is still young, and the journey is long and inconvenient. When Yueyue will leave next year, we will go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year together." Grandma cut radish shreds and said to her Yinuo, who was pouring water for Yueyue, said.

"Oh! I thought so too!"

Yinuo was also about to say this, but he didn't expect his grandma to have the same idea as him.

Grandma continued, “Yinuo, your aunt is back home. The living expenses at home are not that much, so you don't need to give us any money. I have a monthly pension, which is enough for us. If it is not enough, I will ask you again."

Yinuo couldn't laugh or cry. Grandma didn't even let herself get out of the money.

"Grandma! My salary is not low. Not only is it enough for us, but there is also some leftover. Don't worry! I won't use your salary. When I run out of money, I will ask grandma if you want money, okay?" "

"Is it really enough? Is there any leftover?" Grandma didn't believe it.

"It's enough, there's some leftover." Yinuo said with a smile.

Looking at grandma's still disbelieving look, Yinuo thought: How can I prove to grandma that my salary is enough?

Yes, there is a pay stub!

Yinuo went to the drawer in the room and took out the past pay slips and handed them to grandma, “Grandma, look, I have so much salary! Look, you should feel relieved now!"

Grandma specially picked up her reading glasses and put them on, looking at them carefully, “Yeah! Quite a few, quite a few."

After reading the pay slip, grandma nodded repeatedly and showed a happy smile.

"Our Yinuo's salary is quite good, enough for food. Grandma is relieved. Put it away quickly! Don't lose it." Grandma handed Yinuo the salary slip again.

The pay slip finally came in handy. Yinuo thought boredly while holding his pay slip.

The class lasted until the 29th of the new year. The colleagues blessed each other and went back to their homes.

Xu Ling went back to both houses and showed her face, then went to Yinuo's house to eat and drink. Yueyue has one more person to play with.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yinuo had another guest at his house.

"Tianyuan? Why are you here?"

Xu Ling, who had nothing to do, ran over and opened the door. Xu Ling was a little surprised when he opened the door and saw Tianyuan standing at the door.

"Happy New Year! I'm here to see Yueyue. Are you here to see Yueyue too?"

Tian Yuan carried toys and flowers in his hands and entered the door at the wrong time with Xu Ling. Xu Ling was still looking at Tianyuan as he entered the door.

"Pastoral?" Yinuo was also surprised. Although he often chatted on the phone, Yinuo never expected that he would come to visit, and it was during the Chinese New Year. "Why are you free today?"

Tianyuan put down the toys in his hands and handed a bouquet of flowers to Yinuo.

"I'm usually busy and don't have time to come here. It's just the New Year, so I have nothing to do, so I just came to see Yueyue. I haven't seen Yueyue since you were discharged from the hospital!"

He was not usually busy, but Tianyuan was afraid that Yinuo, who had just given birth to a baby, would greet him, so he was tired. Therefore, Tianyuan suppressed his desire to see Yinuo and waited until now.

Yinuo hurriedly picked up the flowers, found a vase and carefully put the flowers on them. Red roses especially complement the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Yinuo likes it very much!

Xu Ling closed the door belatedly and walked into the living room suspiciously. Looking at the roses that Yinuo had just planted, he glanced suspiciously at the garden and then at the busy Yinuo.

"Come here, bring whatever you want. Look, she has a lot of toys! Xu Ling, this girl, gave a lot of gifts." Yinuo took the toys Tianyuan brought and said with a smile.

"Xu Ling belongs to Xu Ling, and what belongs to me is mine! We are now uncles, we can't go empty-handed, that would be outrageous."

Tianyuan looked at Yueyue playing with herself, the child was so cute.

"You,...can't say anything to you." Yinuo was helpless.

"Hehe! If you can't convince me, don't bother. Let me do the talking." Tian Yuan turned around and smiled very brightly.

Yueyue also laughed in the stroller, "clucking" with a clear voice and a very cute smile.

"Here, eat some fruit." Grandma brought a plate of well-cut fruit.

Tianyuan was not polite and ate it as soon as he took it, “Grandma still has a way of hospitality, you have to learn from grandma."

"Eat what you have! I can't even stop your mouth." Yinuo said with a smile.

Pastoral "Hey!" smile.

Xu Ling looked at Tianyuan strangely and asked, “Tianyuan, it's Chinese New Year, why aren't you at your mother-in-law's house? Does your wife have any objections?"

Tianyuan glanced at Xu Ling inquiringly, and when he saw the strange look in her eyes, he knew that this girl was testing me! You asked it at the right time, I want to answer this question!

Tian Yuan smiled and said, “I don't have a girlfriend, how can I get a wife? Where can I get a wife? Where can I get a wife from my mother-in-law's house?"

Yinuo looked at Tianyuan in surprise. Tianyuan was not married yet? Why is it that no one around me is married? Tian Yuan should get married! He is good-looking, although he is not as handsome as Chen Yang,..., eh! Why do I compare Tianyuan to Chen Yang? …

Xu Ling also looked at Tianyuan in surprise. Tianyuan wasn't married yet?

Xu Ling's eyes glanced at the red roses again, and then toward the countryside...

Tianyuan ate the fruit and let Xu Ling look at it casually.

It seems interesting, right?

Xu Ling said with a smile, “You look very talented, but you don't have a girlfriend. Where do all the girls in this world look?"

Tianyuan spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, and asked, "I want to know too! I'm handsome and charming, why don't any girls like me?"

Hahaha!

Yinuo pursed his lips and smiled, “Is there anyone who boasts like you? If you want to boast, you have to brag in front of a group of unmarried girls outside!"

Tianyuan shook his head, “Now, there are two unmarried girls in front of me?"

"I'm not an unmarried girl." Yinuo looked at Xu Ling and joked, "Xu Ling, Tianyuan is attracted to you?"

Xu Ling pointed to the roses and laughed at herself, “I have known him for several years and I have never seen a single rose from him. How could he like me?"

After Xu Ling finished speaking, she turned to Tianyuan and asked directly, “Tianyuan, do you like me?"

You are too sharp, too direct, and not gentle enough for my taste.

Tianyuan answered directly, “No."

"You guys..." Yinuo looked at Xu Ling and Tian Yuan who were glaring at each other, and suddenly laughed, "You two, stop being ridiculous."

Tianyuan stayed at Yinuo's house for an hour before leaving.

After Xu Ling left Tianyuan, she immediately pulled Yinuo over and sat on the sofa.

Xu Ling touched Yinuo on the shoulder and said mysteriously, “Hey! Tianyuan doesn't have a girlfriend!"

Yinuo looked at Xu Ling inexplicably, “What's wrong with him not having a girlfriend?"

"Don't you have a crush on Tianyuan?" Yinuo sat up straight and looked at Xu Ling in surprise.

"Go," Xu Ling reached out and pushed Yinuo, glanced sideways at Yinuo, and said, "I've fallen in love with him, so far."

Yinuo looked at Xu Ling confused. You didn't like him. Whether he has a girlfriend or not has nothing to do with you.

Xu Ling sat a little further and came closer to Yinuo, "The countryside is quite nice, and I think you might be interested in it," Yinuo opened his mouth to retort, but Xu Ling cooed at the roses in the vase, "Look, roses. "

Yinuo turned his head to look at the bright roses, shook his head, and explained, “It's normal to give a bouquet of flowers during the New Year. It's not the most interesting thing."

Xu Ling sighed in her heart, Tianyuan, look, you sent roses, but it's a pity that some people don't understand!

This bouquet of roses was wasted.

Xu Ling didn't want the roses to become insignificant decorations, so she retorted, “What's normal? Roses! You and him..."

Xu Ling looked at Yinuo meaningfully.

"Don't think blindly, he is just my friend." Yinuo explained.

"Friends can also fall in love!" Xu Ling winked and said, "Tian Yuanren is really suitable for you."

"I told you we're just friends." Yinuo moved shyly.

Xu Ling looked at her grandma coming over and hurriedly pulled her to ask, “Grandma, Tianyuan people are nice. Wouldn't it be nice to be Yinuo's boyfriend?"

The grandma next to me sat down and nodded with a smile, “Yeah! I think he treats you well. He is also a nice person, and we can be friends."

Seeing that grandma said the same thing, Yinuo became anxious and hurriedly explained, “Grandma! Tian Yuan and I are friends."

"Okay, we are friends, we are friends." Grandma followed her promise.

Xu Ling winked at her grandma, who pretended not to notice.

Xu Ling was extremely anxious.

"Grandma, you can't just rely on a promise." Xu Ling straightened up anxiously and shook her grandma's arm.

"Yi Nuo knows." Grandma patted Xu Ling's hand.

Xu Ling pouted and glared at Yinuo.

Yinuo took her grandma's arm, leaned behind her, and made faces at Xu Ling.

Grandma is just good to me, unconditionally!
