Chapter 213 What is the Meaning of Kindness
Although Ruyi and Xiao Huya have been married for several years, Darong has actually only visited Ruyi's house a few times. On weekdays, she never disturbs the couple's lives.
"Mom, why are you sitting outside in such cold weather? You have the key to my house, why don't you come up?"
As soon as Ruyi entered the door, she complained to Darong. After she and Xiao Huya got married, they had always left the keys at each other's parents' homes.
"I forgot to take it when I went out, and I only remembered it when I got on the bus. I'm too lazy to go back to get it. I guess you will be off work by the time I get there." Darong took off her cotton coat while chatting with Ruyi.
"You can eat here, and I'll ask Lao Du to take you back in the evening."
"Okay, what are you going to cook?" Darong happily fiddled with the things she brought.
In Darong's impression, Ruyi seems to always be the little girl who never grows up. In addition to the dishes she brought, she also bought a bag of children's food.
Egg rolls, spicy strips, AD calcium, in short, all the things that Ruyi loved to eat when she was a child are available.
"Haha, Mom, I'm so old now, and you still buy snacks for me." Ruyi saw the bag of snacks that Darong put on the table, and she hugged her mother's shoulders coquettishly.
"Do you still remember when you were a kid and secretly took money to buy egg rolls? That time, mom kicked the egg roll in your hand and broke it into pieces. It wasn't because she didn't want you to eat it, but because she was too angry about you stealing money."
When Ruyi was 4 years old, the convenience store at the doorstep stocked a kind of children's snack called egg rolls for the first time. Since she had never eaten it before, the little foodie's gluttony was successfully aroused.
The child had no sense of boundaries and simply took the money from Darong's drawer to buy the food.
Although Darong did not hit Ruyi that time, she crushed all the egg rolls in front of Ruyi. However, after this incident, whenever Darong saw egg rolls in the store, she would buy them home for Ruyi.
But in fact, Ruyi didn’t really like it at all. Every time Darong bought some, she would secretly give it to Jindan next door.
"I don't have a very deep impression, but subconsciously I always felt that I must eat this thing. In fact, I didn't like it very much. My mom always asked me to give it to Jinxu secretly when I was a child. Hahaha..." Ruyi recalled her childhood.
"This has to be kept in the refrigerator. Take it out and let it cool before drinking. Don't drink it too cold."
Darong took out two more bags of yogurt from the bag and walked towards the kitchen while giving instructions.
"Well, okay... Hey, mom, let me do it..."
Ruyi was still fiddling with the food on the table, but suddenly she remembered something and ran into the kitchen, but she was still a step too late.
When Ruyi turned into the kitchen, Darong was standing stiffly in front of the refrigerator, looking at a pile of injections in the refrigerator.
In the past few years, Ruyi has never given up treatment and medication, but it seems that God has been playing tricks on her. No matter how she cooperates with the hospital's treatment, she has never been able to conceive her own baby.
This time, it was her second ovulation induction cycle. From her buttocks to her arms to her stomach, even Ruyi herself couldn’t remember how many needles she had received over the years.
"Mom...it doesn't hurt, actually. Look, my grandpa takes insulin injections every day. The needle is like that, the thinnest one, almost the same as a mosquito bite..."
Ru Yi saw that Darong didn't turn around for a long time and tried to comfort her.
"Do you think mom has a fragile heart? You don't trust mom at all? You didn't even tell me this?"
God knows what kind of emotional changes Darong went through in just one minute. When she turned around, she just touched Ruyi's cheek with a loving tone.
Ruyi did not tell Darong that it was her second cycle of treatment. She just told her mother with full anticipation that she was confident in this ovulation induction.
She didn't want to make her mother worry, but Ruyi, who had never been a mother, how could she understand how Darong felt whenever she thought about the needles pricking her daughter's body?
During the Spring Festival, Darong was in a bad mood and was worried. Wu Meifeng's family moved to a new city in the far suburbs, and the three of them, who seldom came to visit Zhong's mother, basically only saw each other during the holidays.
"Sister, you haven't planned to have a baby yet? You're almost 30 years old, and getting pregnant at an older age will be risky."
I don’t know if Wu Meifeng noticed that Darong was in a bad mood, but she became unusually enthusiastic and came up to ask about Ruyi’s situation.
"Young people nowadays are not the same as we were back then. Sister, you have education and ability, so it's normal for you to develop your career while you're still young."
Wenying habitually retorted to Wu Meifeng, or maybe she knew something from Zhong Yunsheng, so she spoke before Darong.
"It was the same with the child of our colleague. He didn't want a child after getting married. He kept saying he didn't want one. Later we found out that it wasn't that he didn't want one, but that he couldn't have one at all. When the little boy was taken to the hospital for a test, they found that there was not a single hair. How could he have a child..."
"Why didn't Jixiang come again? Why does going to work feel like being in a juvenile detention center? I have to be picked up by my second brother every time before I can come? Don't you take a break even during the Chinese New Year?"
When Wenying heard Wu Meifeng's words becoming more and more outrageous, she directly changed the topic to Jixiang.
For some reason, during that period, Jixiang needed Zhong Yunhong to pick him up and drop him off every time he went home, saying that he had contracted some project.
But people always feel that he is under supervision and detention. However, Zhong Yunhong never mentions anything about Jixiang, and the family members tacitly do not ask about it.
After hearing Wenying's words, Darong looked at her with some gratitude in her heart. No matter what Wenying's reason was, at least she helped Darong, who was now upset.
Sure enough, after hearing Wenying mention Jixiang, Wu Meifeng's expression changed slightly, but she quickly adjusted her mood.
"He's too busy now. All the workers have gone home for the New Year, so the boss has to keep an eye on it himself."
Wenying snorted and laughed. It really wasn't easy being a boss.
I don’t know when it started, but the New Year’s Eve dinner seems to have become a formality. Mother Zhong and Father Zhong sit in the main seats, listening to the verbal battles between their daughters-in-law. I wonder how they feel?
During the period that followed, Darong became a frequent visitor to Ruyi's home. After the few days of the Spring Festival passed quickly, she began to accompany Ruyi to and from the hospital. When she was not going to the hospital, she stayed at home and prepared Ruyi's favorite meals.
"Why do you always go to Ruyi's place recently? Didn't you always say that we shouldn't always disturb the children's lives? I didn't see you being so inseparable from her even when I first got married."
After Darong came home after 9 o'clock again, Zhong Yunxing finally couldn't help but remind her.
