Xiao Bing returned home in the afternoon. Some of the family members had gone to school and some had gone to work. Some had gone out for a walk, and some had gone out shopping. There were also a few people at home, such as Red Rose and Xia Hongyin.
Xia Hongyin looked very happy when she saw Xiao Bing coming back. She said that she had bought a lot of food today and would cook a lot of delicious food for Xiao Bing at night. Xiao Bing hurriedly said that it was not too troublesome, but Xia Hongyin refused.
When Xia Hongyin was cooking, Xiao Bing also ran into the kitchen and said with a smile, "Aunt Xia, let me help you."
"Get out, get out. You are the head of the family. How can you come in and help me? I'm flattered!" Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Look, what did I say before?
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Look, what did I say before? I said that we shouldn't be too distant. Of course, you are working for me. Of course, you should do your daily work well. Don't worry too much about other aspects. We don't have so many rules here. Everyone gets along with each other like family and friends. Otherwise, how can so many people live in the Xiao Mansion all the time? Sooner or later, there will be chaos."
Xia Hongyin smiled and did not stop Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing asked, "Aunt Xia, what should I do?"
"Help me cut the meat. Cut it into thin strips."
"Okay." Xiao Bing picked up the kitchen knife and put the meat on the chopping board. Then he began to cut the meat while looking at Xia Hongyin, who was washing vegetables. He said with a smile, "Aunt Xia, you came all the way here. Is there no one else at home?"
"Others?" Xia Hongyin shook her head with a smile and said, "There is a son at home, but he has gone out to work. He is very busy, so I don't want to disturb him."
Xiao Bing immediately said seriously, "Aunt Xia, I have to say this to you. It is simply natural for a son to be filial to his mother. How can you spoil your own child so much?"
Xia Hongyin said with a wry smile, "I actually don't spoil him. This child has suffered a lot. He has sacrificed too much for me as his mother."
Xiao Bing asked, "What about your man?"
"My man?" There was a flash of sadness in Xia Hongyin's eyes. She sighed and said, "He died a long time ago. He was already gone when the child was still very young."
"Oh." Seeing that Xia Hongyin was in low spirits, Xiao Bing felt a little regretful and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this."
"It's okay." Xia Hongyin smiled and said, "It's been more than 20 years. I don't mind it anymore. The dead can't come back to life. Even if I'm always sad, what's the use?"
Xiao Bing asked, "You didn't look for him after he passed away?"
Xia Hongyin smiled. "Of course not."
There was some respect in Xiao Bing's eyes. He said, "In today's society, there are too few people like Aunt Xia."
"In today's society … people pursue fame and fortune. They want to live a good life. Women want to be taken care of, so if their husbands can't earn enough money, they divorce and remarry. If their husbands die, they immediately remarry. Actually, this is normal, but I'm different. Some things that they care about, I don't care that much. Some things that they don't care about, I care more about."
Xia Hongyin's words made Xiao Bing feel a little emotional, but he was a little confused. Because Xiao Bing couldn't fully understand the meaning of Xia Hongyin's words.
But after all, Xia Hongyin was his elder. She must have experienced some things that he didn't know, so she had many deep feelings. It was not convenient for him to ask too much about some things. For example, he just didn't know that her husband had passed away. But when he asked about this, it was easy to make her sad, so Xiao Bing didn't seriously ask about it.
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Let's talk about something happy. How do you feel after arriving in Jiang City? Where have you been?"
"I haven't been to many places. I'm a homebody and don't want to go too far. But the girls in the house are very nice. As long as there is nothing to do, they will take me out for a walk. I went out with Yezi once. She took me to the mall, and we also went to the river together."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Anyway, there are not things to do at home all the time. It's good to go out and take a walk when you have time. But it must be hard for you to take care of such a big family. When you have time, you must want to rest."
"Well, that's right." Xia Hongyin said with a smile, "But everyone in the family will help me as long as they have time. Sometimes Maggie will sweep the room. I told her to study hard and don't do the work that she shouldn't do. But little Maggie said that she wants to exercise herself."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It's good to exercise. Doing some work won't tire you out. In fact, I quite agree with young people like Maggie. Many children nowadays lack exercise. Maybe some people don't even know how to do housework after they get married. Won't the young couple quarrel every day?"
Xia Hongyin said, "Well, what you said makes sense. Living in this world, it's inevitable to have daily necessities. At first, I didn't understand, but later I found that life is definitely not that simple."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It seems that Aunt Xia was also a spoiled child when she was a child."
"That's right. At that time, I was like a little princess …" Xia Hongyin said with a smile, "I may be more spoiled than anyone you see. Until I grew up, those days were over. I've experienced too much. Xiao Bing, if one day you really find your parents and they tell you that they were actually forced to leave you, will you forgive them? "
"Probably … I will." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Everything will only be known when the time comes. I'm afraid there won't be that chance."
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao's voice came from outside the kitchen, "Is Brother Xiao back? Why don't I see him? "
Xiao Bing shouted outside, "I'm here!"
Xia Hongyin said with a smile, "Well, you've washed and cut. You don't need to do anything here. You go out and accompany them."
"Okay."
Su Xiaoxiao had already walked to the door at this time. She said with a smile, "Wow, Brother Xiao is cooking today?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Me? I'm just helping. "
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Brother Xiao's cooking is also very delicious, but I haven't eaten his cooking for a long time."
After hearing this, Xiao Bing immediately said with a smile, "Well, since you are so supportive of Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao will cook for you today. What do you think? Aunt Xia, you go out and rest today. I'll cook for you. "
"That's not possible. I'm a worker. How can I let my employer cook for me?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "I can cook once in a while. It's a happy experience to cook once in a while."
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "You know, I just came in and saw Aunt Xia cooking with you. I feel that you two are like a mother and a daughter. I used to cook with my mother in the kitchen at home. When my mother was cooking, I was helping her. And you two look a little alike!"
Xia Hongyin was stunned for a moment and shivered all over. Xiao Bing was also touched. He immediately looked at Xia Hongyin and suddenly felt that Su Xiaoxiao was right. He and Aunt Xia really looked a little alike. No wonder there was a sense of intimacy. Was this how the sense of intimacy came about?
Xiao Bing thought that when he was with Xia Hongyin, he really had a very relaxed feeling. Coupled with the inexplicable sense of intimacy, Xiao Bing's heart suddenly moved …
Then, Xiao Bing suddenly looked at Xia Hongyin and said, "Aunt Xia …"
"Hmm?" Xia Hongyin did not look at Xiao Bing but looked elsewhere.
Xiao Bing suddenly said, "When I saw you for the first time, in fact, I really felt like a family member."
Xia Hongyin forced a smile and said, "Me too. Maybe it's fate."
"Since it's fate, I think … since your son is not by my side, I will recognize you as my godmother, right?"
Xia Hongyin was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Bing dully. Xiao Bing asked tentatively, "Aunt Xia, are you not willing?"
Xia Hongyin shook her head, and her eyes were a little red. She said, "It's just … I'm just a servant in your mansion. How is it possible for you to recognize me as your godmother?"
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile at this time, "In fact, it doesn't matter at all. I also recognized Liu Xiaofeng, a servant here, as a sister. Now we often contact each other."
Xia Hongyin opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment. It seemed that she was a little emotional at this time. At this time, she seemed to be at a loss.
Xiao Bing said with some disappointment, "I have no parents since I was a child. I just feel that Aunt Xia is really very kind. Anyway, you are my godmother. If Aunt Xia is not willing, then forget it."
"No …" Xia Hongyin said with some excitement, "I am willing. I am willing. Of course I am willing."
Xia Hongyin's eyes were red. She said with a smile, "Now I have another son. I have two sons. It's perfect. Why wouldn't I be willing? I'm just too happy. I'm so happy that I don't know what to say."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It would be great if Aunt Xia is willing."
Su Xiaoxiao reminded him, "Brother Xiao, you still call her Aunt Xia."
"Oh, by the way, godmother." Xiao Bing's eyes were also a little red. He said with a smile, "It's great that godmother is willing. Godmother, why are your eyes also red?"
"I'm happy …" Xia Hongyin said with a smile, "I'm happy to have a godson."
Xia Hongyin said with a smile, "I … I'll go back to my room first. I have to tell my other son about this."
"Okay." Xiao Bing agreed.
Xia Hongyin walked out of the kitchen. Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "It seems that Aunt Xia is really happy."
"Yes." Xiao Bing said, "I didn't expect her to be so excited."
"That proves that the two of you really hit it off."
Xiao Bing looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for helping me come up with such an idea."
"You don't have to be so polite with me." Su Xiaoxiao said gently, "I just want to make you happy."
At this moment, Xia Hongyin returned to the room. Suddenly, she directly lay on the bed, covered her face and cried. She was very emotional and sobbed.
