I took a sip and never touched it again.

He only took a few bites of your carefully fried sweet and sour pork ribs and stopped eating. Oh, and the cucumber and boiled pork dish, he didn’t even use his chopsticks.

Isn't it obvious enough that you dislike it?"

"Well, is it normal for the child to have just come back and the food we cooked is not to his liking? It's because we as parents didn't think carefully enough and didn't ask about the child's preferences in advance. You see, this

The other day we asked him his opinion before buying groceries, didn’t he just eat a little bit of it?”

"Yes. I touched everything with chopsticks, and more than half of the rice was left. It was a waste. Xiaoyi is not like this. Xiaoyi has eaten everything since he was a child, and is not picky about food. And it is only for him.

The rice will definitely be finished and not a grain of rice will be wasted. How can it be like..."

No matter what, it is impossible for Xiaoyi to return to them.

From now on, they will have to go on living as a family of three.

Ruan Yuman swallowed back her dissatisfied words.

She rubbed her sore waist and stood up from the chair, "It's getting late, let's continue moving. Aren't you going out to buy goods today? If you finish moving early, you can leave early and come back early.

, it’s safer on the road.”

Jian Zhuozhou pushed his wife back on the chair, "No, I can't touch you. There is no more pot left. Just leave the rest to me. If you don't have a waist, just sit down.

have a rest."

Ruan Yuman said, "No, you drove the ‌hour's drive to Jiangcheng today, but now you are too tired. What should you do if you are too tired when you drive back? Since there is no ‌

It's wet, I'll help you to finish it as soon as possible. Today, it may be said that it's snowing, but it's snowing. If there's too much snow on the road, just find a hotel to rest for the night and return early tomorrow morning.

When driving back, don’t drive all night. You know that?”

"I know. My mother-in-law cares about me the most. Hehe."

Jian Zhuozhou pinched his wife's cheek.

Ruan Yuman knew that her husband was unhappy when he saw her during this period, and it was just to make herself happy, so she smiled cooperatively.

Jian Zhuozhou turned his head away.

His wife can often tell him that she misses her son Xiaoyi, but he cannot.

He ‌ is ‌ letting himself miss his adopted son, which is too unfair to ‌ this ‌.

The couple each moved a pot of gardenias and went outside.

When Jian Zhuozhou returned to the house, he saw Rong Rong bent over and trying to lift a flower pot with half a person in it.

You can tell at a glance that this child doesn't do much physical work, his legs are not stable, and his posture for exerting force is wrong.

No matter what, Jian Zhuozhou was still very excited about Rong Rong's appearance.

Does this mean that the child was finally both surprised and moved?

He quickly strode forward and took the flower pot from Rong Rong's hand, "Xiao Rong, what are you doing? You can't handle this kind of physical work. Leave it and let Dad come. You go and sit there.

Just ‌.”

Ruan Yuman stood aside and watched all the time without leaving.

They are both boys. Xiaoyi can tolerate it, but why can’t Xiaorong?

Now that the two children have been exchanged, Xiaorong realizes clearly that he is just the son of a flower shop, not a pampered young master.

From Ruan Yuman's eyes, Rong Rong roughly guessed what the other party was thinking.

It doesn't matter.

Rong Rong moved all the remaining pots outside the flower shop.

Jian Zhuozhou wanted to move faster so that Rong Rong could move less, but the child was too stubborn.

He increased his speed, and the child was faster than him.

Rong Rong had never done rough work before, so Jian Zhuozhou was worried that his body couldn't bear it, so he just slowed down.

"It's over, we've finished moving, Xiaorong. You can go upstairs and have a rest. If something happens, your mother and I will call you again. Ah."

Rong Rong nodded, turned around and went upstairs.

Remembering that the child might not have had breakfast yet, Jian Zhuozhou hurriedly added, "Oh, by the way, breakfast has been made for you. The porridge is in the pot and the vegetables are on the table. Remember to have breakfast.

."

"Um"

Rong Rong looked at Jian Zhuozhou, and the words "Thank you, Dad" were stuck in his throat. Why couldn't he say it out.

Rong Rong went upstairs.

He returned to the room.

He took the bowl out of the cupboard, and his arms kept shaking as he scooped out the porridge, and he almost couldn't hold it steady.

Rong Rong made porridge and put it on the table.

He opened his palms, and the skin on his palms was scratched.

Rong Rong opened the dining chair and sat down. He held the trembling wrist of his right hand with his left hand. After his right hand stopped shaking so violently, he ate calmly.

After breakfast, Rong Rong returned to the room.

When he reached the door of his room, he stopped and saw Jian Zhuozhou standing at the door of his room.

Jian Zhuozhou saw Rong Rong and stepped forward, "Xiao Rong, it's your first time moving a flower pot. You must not be used to it, right? This is ointment. Take it and apply it, and it won't hurt so much."

Your mother asked me to buy this ointment for you. She is a smart person, but she actually cares about you very much. Don't take it to your heart."

Rong Rong took the ointment from Jian Zhuozhou's hand and said, "Thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome."

After that day, Jian Zhuozhou and Ruan Yuman just got up and opened the store door. They could see Rong Rong coming from upstairs.

The three of us put out the flower pots in the store together.

"Look, look. What did I say? I just said that this kid doesn't look close to us. In fact, it's because he has just arrived and is not familiar with us. Blood is thicker than water, and his body

He has the same blood as us, so how can he not be close to us? You see, I was really right, wasn't he?"

Rong Rong finished moving the flower pots and went upstairs. Jian Zhuozhou said happily to Ruan Yuman who was sitting on a chair and resting.

Ruan Yuman poured a bucket of cold water on her husband, "Whenever he is willing to call us parents, you can be happy."

Jian Zhuozhou was quite optimistic, "You have to give the child some time. How long has it been since the child was brought back? You have to give the child some time to adapt."

"I had a phone call with Xiaoyi yesterday."

Jian Zhuozhou was stunned, "Didn't I tell you not to contact Xiaoyi all the time? Xiaoyi has his own family life now, and we don't always..."

Ruan Yuman interrupted Jian Zhuozhou unhappily and glared at her husband, "It was Xiao Yi who called me."

"Ah, yes, it's Xiaoyi who called me."

Jian Zhuozhou couldn't help but pull the chair towards his wife, "Then what did you say on the phone? Did he ask about me?"

Ruan Yuman said "hum", didn't he tell me not to contact Xiaoyi all the time?"

Jian Zhuozhou smiled apologetically, "Hey, grandma, tell me, tell me. What were you talking about on the phone? How is Xiaoyi doing? Are you used to it in Rong? His parents are right.

Isn't he?"

"Ah, why not? Our Xiaoyi is so good, how can a parent not like him? We didn't talk about anything. He just called me back and asked me if I had any back pain.

One thing, and also, you must not drink when you are asked to drive. You see, you are a father, and you have to let your son do it for you..."

Ruan Yuman's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Yes, look at me, I forgot that Xiaoyi is not our son now."

"Yuman, don't think so. We are returning the child to someone else. The friendship that has lasted for almost twenty years will always be there. Look, even if Xiaoyi is recognized, no matter what

Are you still thinking about us? Besides, Xiaorong is very nice. That kid doesn’t talk much, but you see, he always gets up early and comes upstairs to help us recently.

That child grew up in Rongzhou, how can he suffer such hardship? You didn't see it. One time I handed the child water, and the child took it, and his palms were broken, but you saw the child complaining

‌A sentence? The child didn't even say a word. ‌It's time for Xiaoyi, it's time to hum and hug us and act like a baby.

‌I said, Xiaoyi is a ‌ child, and Xiaorong‌ is a ‌‌ child. It’s just that the two ‌ children have different personalities.”

Ruan Yuman said in a low voice: "If I had not been wronged back then, Xiaoyi would have grown up on his own. There is no need to follow us, and he has suffered so much since he was a child."

Jian Zhuozhou scratched his head, "Ah, did Xiaoyi suffer a lot when he followed us? Our conditions are not as good as those of Rong, but we are like  and didn't make Xiaoyi suffer much?"

"You're not here. Xiaoyi is the one who goes out to deliver flowers. He comes in wind and rain. Isn't it hard? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about moving flower pots. Xiaoyi has been helping since he was a child.

We moved some smaller flowerpots. You were drunk, so he had to take care of you all night long. Does Xiaorong do these things? When we Xiaoyifeng came and went in the rain, he might have pointed out the flowers.

Where are you driving in a luxury car?"

Jian Zhuozhou laughed and said, "Where did you see all this? Or did someone tell you something? Yes, materially we can't compare with Rong's designation, but I think we can do it

It's not bad. Food, drink, etc., when did we stop talking about Xiaoyi? He is interested in aromatherapy, don't we fully support him to learn to mix fragrance.

Just buying those spices, absolutes and other materials will cost us more than half a year's savings. Do I have any objections to you? Aren't we not delaying our children's pursuit of their dreams and hindering their future?
