It's hard to be a stepmother

Seeing that he was still frowning, I smiled at him and said, "You still have to catch a plane, so go first, I'll wait for the doctor at home."

I can't just stop going because I have a sprain, and I have already booked a flight and a job. The sprain is not a serious problem, and it will be better soon.

Huo Hanchuan must have known it too, so he put my feet into the slippers lightly and looked up at me: "I'm resting at home these few days, waiting for me to come back."

I nodded, Huo Hanchuan finally left, Huo Baize ran to the door to see him off, I didn't go out again, I only saw him go out of the yard through the window, and I couldn't see him, so I looked away.

Yu Bo called the family doctor, so the doctor named Cheng came soon after. He also said that there was nothing serious and there was no fracture, so he asked me to rest at home and the swelling would subside in about a week.

A week is too long. The last time I filmed a movie, I had enough time. Director Lu couldn't wait for me, let alone this kind of TV series.

I asked him, "If you need to stand, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

He heard me say this and glanced at me: "It's better not to stand for too long. Although it's a sprain, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it's swollen now, so it's not suitable to move."

Most of the doctor's words said the injury was serious, I thought for a while and said to him: "Then trouble Dr. Cheng to put plaster on me, I try not to move."

Doctor Cheng looked at me and frowned this time, he is not very old, about the same as Huo Hanchuan,

So even if he disagrees, he can't say anything about me. I'm not familiar with him, and he can't force me to do something.The most common sentence doctors say is that life is your own, and if you don’t cherish it yourself, others will not cherish it even more. But because my face was paralyzed, Dr. Cheng suppressed this sentence.

He only frowned and said, "If you're like this, I can't explain to Mr. Huo."

I repeated what I said to Zhou Rui, but he gave me one last look and said nothing more.

We all know that people on business trips don’t bother if they can’t be disturbed, and don’t report bad news if they can report good news. Besides, the injury is not serious in the first place.

I rested at home for half a day and went to the theater in the afternoon. I don't want to stay in this home anymore. Although this home hasn't kicked me out yet, I can get used to it in advance.

Director He took good care of me, and all the chase scenes and fight scenes were ranked at the back, so my feet swelled up on the fourth day, and Yu Bo heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Mr. Xiao, you have a good physique and recovered quickly. "He can't stop me from going out these days, he can only worry himself, and now he is finally relieved.

Huo Baize watched from the side, and poked it with his hand: "Is the big bag gone?"

I hummed: "Why are you still not willing?"

He came to see me every time I changed the plaster these days, very curious.Huo Baize said oops: "Of course not! Are you alright?"

I nodded, and he smiled immediately: "Then you can play football with me, right?!" Before I answered, Dr. Cheng immediately said: "It's not enough for a few days, it's just swelling, you need to recover completely You can do other things, and you haven’t had much rest these days, so you still have to pay more attention.”

I looked at him and smiled: "Thank you, Dr. Cheng." I was able to recover so quickly thanks to his medicine and massage. I only had a sprain, and he came every day. It was too much of a fuss, and I clearly said that I didn't take care of my body. But he still tried his best. Although I know he is doing it for the Huo family's sake, I still have to thank him.

When Huo Baize heard that I couldn't play football with him yet, he said depressedly: "Alright then, I'll wait!"

I touched his head: "Didn't grandma come to see you these days?"

Because Huo Hanchuan was on a business trip, Mrs. Huo had been visiting Huo Baize often these days, so she was probably not at ease with this little grandson.Wang Ma smiled and said: "Mr. is not here, but the old lady often comes."

Yu Bo said: "The old lady came because the husband was not here, or the husband said that the old lady doted on Ozawa."

Huo Baize heard them talking about his grandma, and retorted: "Grandma didn't spoil me! Auntie didn't! Auntie didn't either! By the way, why does auntie go to school, and when will auntie come back!"

I took a look at him, his aunt had also gone on a business trip, but Huo Baize remembered this time, because his aunt was indeed very kind to him, and blood relationship is a very magical thing, as the saying "broken bones connect tendons" It's great, she is not Huo Baize's biological mother, but she will love him equally, and she will be more suitable than anyone else to be his mother.The reverse is also the same, Huo Baize rejects anyone, but he does not reject his aunt.

I looked at Huo Baize and said softly, "She's coming back soon."

Huo Baize happily shouted: "Are you coming back with Dad? That's great! Dad is coming back, I'll tell grandma later."

He was talking happily running around the house, and I looked at his jumping figure for a while before looking away, and I also thought it was very good.I can go and shoot my scenes with peace of mind, I have fallen behind a lot these days.

Now that Mrs. Huo is here, I don't have to take care of Huo Baize anymore. I go back later and later, maybe because I subconsciously don't want to bump into Mrs. Huo.

But when I went back today, Mrs. Huo was still there. She seemed to be waiting for me specially. She saw that I hadn't spoken for a while, and she didn't ask me until I was close to her, "Why do you come back so late every day?" ?”

It's very late now, it's already 11 o'clock, I remember Dr. Cheng's words, I walked slowly, and I arrived in front of her after a while: "Mom, are you here?"

I walked slowly and yelled slowly, and I made Mrs. Huo wait for a while, she looked me up and down, and couldn't help saying: "You child still talks so little, sit down quickly, I listen to the old Yu Said that you are filming every day these days?"

The old Yu she was talking about was Yu Bo, who served us two tea and went down.

I hummed, and she glanced at my feet: "Are you going to film because your ankle is sprained?"

Her face was flat, and I couldn't tell whether she was concerned or commented for a moment.My feet are already on the mend.

I told her: "It's okay, I don't need my feet to take photos these days."

She seemed to take a deep breath and said, "Is filming so important to you? It's tiring and unflattering." I didn't know how to reply, and she didn't ask me to reply, she just looked at me for a while, as if to add Said: "Didn't I tell you to rest more at home last time?"

I nodded: "Okay, I'll finish filming in another month."

How can a theater troupe be stopped after it's set up? It will cost a day's money if it stops for a day, but Mrs. Huo doesn't want to hear it.

The two of us were relatively silent for a while, without a middleman, my shortcoming of reticence was highlighted to the fullest, all elders would not like such a person, let alone when there is a better person for comparison.

In the end, Mrs. Huo was the first to break this strange silence. She took a deep breath and said, "Do you always think that work is more important than family?"

I looked up at her. Mrs. Huo is a kind of straightforward person. She likes her second daughter-in-law very much. From this, I can see that she is also this kind of person, so her words are also straightforward, just like when she came to Xiao The marriage proposal was very straightforward.

So now when the marriage is no longer suitable, she will change people very quickly. This is due to the confidence of her Huo family. Of course, because I am just a pawn, I keep silent and do not speak. I always let her She said it out, not to mention she was right, I did take my work more seriously.

Mrs. Huo didn't need me to talk to her, she already knew how dumb I was, so she just looked at me and said: "You have been at our house for a year, and you have been very busy this year, I know , as a man, it is right to focus on career, and mom can't say anything about you."

I clasped my hands and didn't interrupt. I knew Mrs. Huo's next words would be on Qi Lan. Sure enough, she was silent for a while, and then continued: "But Xiao Ze is still young, and this age just needs company." When I was in Beijing, Hanchuan couldn't easily go on a business trip because of him, and came back from work on time every day to educate him. I always hoped that you could help him well and be a good helper in this family. I just want you to..., I have I have told you several times tactfully, but you can't let go of your work, our family does not lack the money for you to go busy, you are just like Ozawa's aunt, work and family life don't conflict, okay?"

I glanced at her. When she said those words, her eyes wandered, and her tone was rarely softened. I don't know if it was the reason for driving me away, and she felt it was hard to say.

Since it's hard for her to say, then I handed her an olive branch, and I said directly: "Then Mom, you are the aunt who likes Ozawa, right?"

I still called her mom, because now she still is.

Mrs. Huo looked at me, her eyes froze for a while, and she looked at me and nodded after a while: "Although you don't like to talk, you have a cheerful temper, see things clearly, and are a rare and clever person."

She praised me. When she first came to Xiao's family to propose marriage, she praised me very happily. Time has passed and it's only been a year. The time is too short to leave any traces.

So this boast is for the end.

She pinched and pinched her fingers on her knees, because the next words were too difficult to say, but no matter how difficult it was to say, she had to say, since she had already started, she had to continue anyway, so she pinched the corner of her clothes hard and then let go.

I heard her say quickly: "My Huo family needs someone who will take care of Ozawa wholeheartedly. Your career and family are in a dilemma."

I nodded to her: "I understand."

She paused for a while, thinking I would complain about something, but I had nothing to complain about, so she added a few more words: "At that time, when you were not married into our family, Han Chuan said that you were a very calm person, you I will educate Ozawa very well. I went to Xiao's house to meet you. I had great expectations for you at that time. I know there is nothing wrong with the person my son chooses, but..."

I just didn't expect me to be so indifferent.

I know that I am cold-hearted and hard-hearted, since I was a child, I have no words to refute, Mrs. Huo looked at me as if probing: "Han Chuan said you love him very much, but I didn't..."

I also think Mrs. Huo is right, I should have no feelings for Huo Hanchuan, but I don't know why my heart throbbed.

Mrs. Huo carefully told me the reason why she wanted to dissolve the marriage, and she was right, so I nodded, looked at her and asked: "Then do you want me to propose a divorce to Huo Hanchuan, or wait for him to propose a divorce?" ?”

I didn't have the initiative when I married their Huo family, but I think I should have the initiative when they get divorced.But I still want to politely ask their Huo family's opinion, so as not to damage their family's reputation.

The corner of Mrs. Huo's mouth twitched. She probably didn't expect me to be so direct. She coughed softly: "Since you started this matter, let you finish it. Our Huo family will not treat you badly, although you The reason why you came into our house is," she paused the topic, and then changed: "Although you had a lot of scandals at the time, you didn't have any scandals in the year after you married in, and you didn't take any bad dramas. I'm making things difficult for you."

I glanced at her, what was it that she forced herself to swallow, because his son chose me, because I couldn't have children?So she put up with all my gossip?

Hehe, I also wronged her.

I didn't look at her again, just nodded: "Okay, then I'll tell him when he comes back."

Now that the two of us have spoken clearly, Mrs. Huo left and Uncle Yu went out to see her off. I sat on the sofa for a while and looked around the house. Although I only lived here for a year, A year is long enough to have this place stuck in my head.

I don't want to watch it any more, and I will remember it after one more look.

I walked up the stairs to the greenhouse on the third floor. After turning on the light in the greenhouse, I saw the roses in the deepest part of the greenhouse. The red roses that Yu Bo planted for me were the most vulgar. It is still blooming in full swing in this somewhat cold season, and it can be seen at a glance.

I sat down in front of this flower, my feet were almost healed, I straightened my feet, I was able to reach deep into the flowers, cut a flower with me, then leaned on the rocking chair and closed my eyes to smell it, It is easy to relax in the sea of ​​flowers. After a while, I can open my eyes calmly and look at the dark night sky through the glass above my head. There is a moon tonight, so the surrounding stars are dimmed. Can't find that North Star.

I took out my phone and looked at it for a while. On WeChat, there was a video sent by Huo Hanchuan in the morning. He is abroad, and the time difference is different. According to the time in the morning, it was late at night in his place, which is about the same time as now.

I clicked on the video, and it showed a nest of little swallows, swiftlets, he didn’t show his face, only his hands, gently supported the little swallows, and then put them back very lightly.I could recognize the hands, well-knitted, long and supple.

When holding an umbrella for me, when cooking and holding a spoon for me, when pointing to the North Star for me, this is how it looks, I remember it.

The video was not long, it took 1 minute, and it was played quickly. I closed my phone, and when the temperature in the greenhouse dropped, I went downstairs.

Two days later, Huo Hanchuan came back from a business trip, but fell ill.
