Zhao Ying circled around Yuan Mei these days, busy like a pug, and Ji Li sneered at him, especially when he pestered Yuan Mei to tell him about Ji Li's childhood.

He really wanted to throw Zhao Ying out.

"Mr. Zhao, don't you even have to go to work?"

In the ward, Ji Li closed the laptop, pinched the bridge of her nose, and closed her eyelids to relieve the dryness of her eyes.

"It's not as important as staying with your aunt at work."

Zhao Ying winked at Yuan Mei, handed the peeled apple to Yuan Mei, and smiled sweeter than apples:

"My most important job now is to take care of my aunt, aunt, don't you think?"

Zhao Ying's small mouth always seemed to be smeared with honey, making Yuan Mei's mouth shut from ear to ear, which made Ji Li feel a sense of crisis that his mother would be snatched away.He even blurted out that he wanted to ask Yuan Mei the stupid question that Zhao Ying asked him a few days ago - "If he and Zhao Ying fell into the water, who would Yuan Mei save first?"

Zhao Ying didn't go to work for the past few days, but Ji Li brought all his work to the hospital.Taking advantage of the time when Zhao Ying went out to answer the phone, Ji Li awkwardly poured Yuan Mei a glass of water. He wanted to ask her a lot, but because he had so many questions, he didn't know where to ask her for a while. Speaking of.

Yuan Mei recovered very well in the past two days, but she couldn't go to the ground yet. She was really bored, except when Zhao Ying told her jokes, she was doing manual work.

She picked up the tool from the bedside table, and deftly fiddled with it with both hands.

"mom……"

Ji Li opened his mouth, feeling that he should apologize for being estranged from his mother intentionally or unintentionally for more than ten years, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say it for a long time.

Obviously these three words are so simple that even a three-year-old child can say them.However, it is such a simple sentence, but it is stuck in the throat, just because it is facing the mother?Because they are relatives, because they are very close, they are the kind of relationship that can forgive each other without apologizing, so what should be said is always buried in my heart.

"I'm sorry, little Li."

What he wanted to say, was said first by Yuan Mei, he raised his head, Yuan Mei's eyes had faint wrinkles, but her still bright eyes were looking at him lovingly.

"It's really hard for you to be my child."

She thinks so all the time.

If Ji Li was reincarnated into someone else's family, he would be much happier than he is now. He would definitely get the best things in the world, have a happy and carefree childhood, and would not be forced to give up his studies by life. Not to mention inferiority complex, he is so outstanding, but now he is dragged down by her unfulfilling mother.

She folded a small umbrella and put it in Ji Li's hand. The umbrella surface is light blue, exactly the same as the one she used to coax Ji Li more than 20 years ago.

Ji Li took the umbrella and played with it in his hand. The small umbrella that was difficult for him to hold with one hand 20 years ago can be easily played with now. The size of the umbrella has not changed because he has grown up.

"In a blink of an eye, you have grown into an adult, but I still treat you like a child." Yuan Mei laughed at herself, "Maybe it's because I don't want to accept the fact that I'm old?"

"When my mother rolled down the mountain, she thought, will I just die like this? It's okay for me to die. After all, there will always be such a day when people get old. This is the law of nature, and no one can defy it. But when I think of you, I will go away." Afterwards, you became alone again, and I prayed to God to let me live two more years, at least to see you find a companion, and now that I see it, I will have no regrets if I die tomorrow."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, you are only so old, and you can still be with me for decades."

Ji Li sniffed, thinking of the past, he couldn't help but feel sad. In the past ten years, he has made detours in all aspects.

The little umbrella in his hand was like a key to the dusty past, taking him back to that day many years ago, when he and his mother were playing in the courtyard, the sun was just right that day, and although they were poor, they were warm and happy.

The small umbrella that was ruthlessly crushed back then has returned to his hands. He may not be able to rewrite the past, but fortunately, he still has tomorrow, and it is not too late.The shattered memories of childhood seemed to become whole all of a sudden, and the missing piece in his heart was also filled with all kinds of things that he thought he didn't deserve.

Before he knew it, he was lying on his mother's lap like a child, tears slowly falling down:

"You still have Ji Yan, don't you want to watch him marry a wife and have children?"

"He," mentioning her youngest son, gave Yuan Mei a headache: "It's good that he doesn't make me angry."

Seeing her son crying, Yuan Mei felt that this topic was too heavy, so she comforted him:

"Actually, when I was young, I often complained about the injustice of life, but when I think of everyone dying, I feel that the world is extremely fair. So death is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Mom, I told you to stop talking! Didn't I send someone to send you a litter of rabbits a while ago? Don't you want it too?" Ji Li looked at his mother tearfully. He never thought that this weak woman would take death so lightly.

"That's right!" Yuan Mei patted her head: "No one has fed the rabbit these days! What should I do!"

Thinking of this, she wished she could leave the hospital tomorrow.

and so……

Does his mother prioritize rabbits over sons? !

Just when Ji Li was depressed, Yuan Mei suddenly remembered something, she held Ji Li's hand and said:

"Xiao Li, you really don't have to worry too much about unexpected people's eyes. The society now is different from ours at that time. You can live your life in the way you like, and you don't have to follow the so-called rules and regulations, including the person you like, who is a boy. It’s really okay if you’re still a girl, as long as you’re happy, do you understand what I mean?”

Ji Li nodded and hugged her mother in her arms. This ordinary and beautiful woman who had suffered so much in the world finally ushered in reconciliation with her son after many years.

She patted Ji Li's back lightly, remembering a sentence written by her mother to her son in a book she couldn't remember the name of in the early years:

"Mother has suffered too much in this life, including my son's suffering, so my son will be happy and healthy."

When Zhao Ying returned to the house, Yuan Mei had already fallen asleep, and Ji Li was sitting by the bed, her eyes were a little red, and she was playing with a delicate handmade umbrella in her hand.

"It's so beautiful."

Zhao Ying walked over, and seeing that he liked it, Ji Li put a small umbrella on his blond hair.

"As a bride price for you."

Ji Li said lazily, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Are you reconciled with Auntie?"

Zhao Ying approached him with a smile, fiddled with the small umbrella pinned in his hair, and asked:

"It must be pretty, right?"

"I know it's stinky!" Ji Li looked at him with a simple smile on his face, and thought of the young man's pale face after donating blood to his mother, and the meticulous care of Yuan Mei after busy these days, so he pulled He raised his hand and said solemnly:

"Thank you."

"Why are you being polite, you are so out of touch." Zhao Ying leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Besides, I will be paid."

After understanding his words, Ji Li's face immediately turned as red as fire, but he didn't dodge anymore, Zhao Ying had saved his mother, even if Zhao Ying wanted his life, he was willing to give it with both hands.Ji Li nodded obediently and said "OK".

Zhao Ying blinked, as if he didn't expect him to agree so readily, but in fact he was just talking casually.So he coughed and said seriously:

"I declare in advance that I don't help you for a reward, I help you because I love you."

Ji Li's face turned redder, and his heartbeat became more violent. Even so, he raised his eyebrows and asked Zhao Ying jokingly:

"Then do you still want to pay?"

Zhao Ying quickly kissed him on the cheek:

"of course yes!"

He leaned close to Ji Li's ear, his voice was low and ambiguous:

"Tonight, half of it will be collected first."

? !

Because of this sentence, Ji Li spent the whole afternoon in anxiety.

Yuan Mei woke up after a while, and saw Zhao Ying wearing a small handmade umbrella on her head, and happily introduced it to her:

"Auntie, Ji Li gave it to me, saying it was a betrothal gift."

In front of Yuan Mei, Zhao Ying didn't care if Ji Li was called Uncle Ji, because he would be inferior, it was a love affair between two people, it was nothing in front of friends, but he still had to be more careful with his elders.

Seeing Zhao Ying's contented smile, Yuan Mei couldn't help frowning. Isn't her son too stingy?Just a small handmade umbrella, do you want to trick other people's children through the door?Was that what she taught him?Who the hell does this stingy person look like?

Immediately, she remembered that in the middle of the season he proposed to her with a ring made of dogtail grass.

The root of daring is here!

Thinking of this, she immediately taught Ji Li, lest the good child go astray.

"Xiao Li, I'm going to talk about you now. How can it be so easy to give the bride price? Back then, I accepted it from your mother..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Li interrupted her.

"You decided to marry your father after accepting a dog's tail straw woven ring?" Ji Li said mercilessly.

"Eh?! Did you know? How did you know! Who told you!" Yuan Mei couldn't help but fell into self-doubt, and Ji Li's mouth curled up, not intending to tell her the reason.

At this time, Zhao Ying said to Yuan Mei with a shy face:

"Auntie, don't criticize Ji Li, this little umbrella has special meaning to him, I like it very much, and even if he doesn't give me anything, I will be with him."

"Oh……"

Yuan Mei blinked, and began to doubt whether the decision to let these two little ghosts take care of her by her side was correct.

They were actually a couple, but she... was single!

She has been single for years!

Now I have eaten enough dog food, and I eat my son's dog food, how should I put it, it is painful and happy.
