Li Xun walked out of the study without saying a word.
He asked a nanny and learned that his mother, He Yunshu, was in the garden.
She is completely different from those upper-class ladies. She seldom goes shopping or even plays cards very well.
For many years, He Yunshu's only hobby was to take care of flowers and plants. When the weather was nice, he would make a pot of herbal tea and bask in the sun leisurely.
Therefore, no matter where Li Xun went, he would look for some local flower seeds and bring them to her as gifts.
"mom!"
Li Xun walked quickly into the garden and saw He Yunshu wearing a wide, ankle-length cotton skirt, a hat and a mask, deworming a bunch of orchids.
"Back?"
He Yunshu glanced at him, handed the tools in his hand to the gardener standing aside, and gave him a few more instructions.
Then, she walked to the sink and washed her hands carefully.
Li Xun handed over the towel and said with some displeasure: "Just let them do these things, why do you have to do it yourself?"
The family hired several gardeners, all of whom were good at raising flowers and plants, and their salaries were not low.
However, He Yunshu often works with his own hands.
"Do you think that when you grow flowers, you just come and take a look at them when they bloom? The fun of growing flowers is to water, fertilize, remove insects and watch them grow little by little."
He Yunshu said with a slight smile and shook his head at Li Xun.
"Okay, I can't help you, but you have to pay attention to your health. I heard that you refuse to take medicine. Do you want me to take you to the hospital for a re-examination tomorrow?"
Li Xun took He Yunshu to the rest area in the garden. As soon as the two sat down on the wicker chairs, the nanny immediately brought a pot of tea and some snacks.
After taking a sip of tea, He Yunshu answered slowly: "It's not necessary. It's just an old illness. I coughed a few times at night. It doesn't matter whether I take medicine or not. I might as well make some herbal tea to drink and moisten my throat.
Already."
She suffered from strep throat when she was young. Whenever the weather changed, she would cough for a few days. It was not a serious illness.
After hearing He Yunshu's words, Li Xun finally felt relieved.
"That's good. I'm usually not at home and I'm busy at the company. If you have anything, just go to Zeng Ruikai."
he warned.
He Yunshu held the tea cup and sighed quietly: "What can I do? It's just that you live outside alone. After all, it's better to be careful at home and be more careful in everything."
Neither of the two sons wanted to stay. They all bought property early and went out to live alone.
Although the mother was helpless, she also knew that it would happen sooner or later, so He Yunshu did not stop it, but could not help but worry that they were not eating well and not wearing warm clothes.
"Fortunately, you two brothers will also get married in two years. Someone will worry about you in the future, and I will be much more relaxed."
When he thought of the daughter of the Shen family, He Yunshu glanced sideways at Li Xun and noticed a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face quickly.
Is this... shy?
He Yunshu was both surprised and funny.
This younger son has always had ideas since he was a child, and he is not as mature as his older son, which always gives her a headache.
Unexpectedly, he was also embarrassed sometimes?
"The matter of getting married... is not urgent."
Li Xun coughed lowly and tried hard to cover up his gaffe just now.
"Miss Shen is still young, but you are already very old. If you continue to delay, is it possible that you still want people to wait ten or eight years?"
He Yunshu laughed dumbly.
"I'm not that old!"
Li Xun immediately argued: "Eldest brother is not married yet, why should I be anxious?"
He Yunshu patted the non-existent wrinkles on the skirt slowly and said softly: "Why didn't your eldest brother decide on a fiancée?"
Li Xun shut up.
"Since you said you're not in a hurry, you probably don't mean anything special to Miss Shen. I'll ask your eldest brother another day. If he doesn't object, how about changing this agreement so that they can get married as soon as possible?"
He Yunshu asked with a frown.
Li Xun didn't hear the joke hidden in her words, and quickly objected without thinking: "No! Brother, he...he doesn't like Shen Shuangyu!"
Speaking of the second half, he also realized that he had been tricked!
He Yunshu couldn't help it anymore and couldn't stop laughing.
Her pale face finally had a blush, and she looked much healthier than before.
Putting down the tea cup, He Yunshu wiped the corners of her eyes gracefully with her fingertips. She laughed so hard that she even burst into tears.
"Oh, my good son, are you really in a hurry?"
She originally had no intention of intervening in this matter. After all, once it came to Li Jue and Li Xun's marriage, even she was not qualified to interfere.
Li Yuanjing had already promised that he would make appropriate arrangements.
The relationship between the couple was already cold, and He Yunshu simply did not want to quarrel with him on this matter.
What's more, she knows better than anyone else how many things people like them can make their own decisions about?
"I'm leaving first."
Li Xun raised his hand, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth. He coughed twice awkwardly: "You should rest more, and I will come back to see you in a few days."
Almost fled.
There is no way, no matter how mature a man is in front of outsiders, he will still be a child in front of his own mother.
Just as Li Xun left, Aunt Qin, who had taken care of He Yunshu for many years, came out with a plate of freshly baked cookies.
"Where's Ah Xun? Are you leaving now? It's a rare time for this kid to come back, so I specially made this. He loved it most when he was a kid."
Aunt Qin muttered reluctantly, picked up a biscuit and stuffed it into He Yunshu's mouth, as if she still regarded her as the little girl she once was.
He Yunshu smiled, bit off a piece of biscuit, and chewed it slowly.
"It tastes so good, only Aunt Qin can make it."
She narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Hey, I'm old. It's just such a small thing. It took me a long time to make it quickly and slowly. If my hands and feet were more agile, wouldn't Ah Xun have eaten it?"
Aunt Qin beat her shoulders with her hands in frustration.
In the past two years, Aunt Qin has gotten older, and He Yunshu has stopped letting her work. The two of them get along like mother and daughter. They usually talk and plant flowers and get along very harmoniously.
"He just doesn't have the temperament to sit still."
He Yunshu ate a biscuit and drank a cup of tea, and found that Aunt Qin was hesitant to speak.
"Good girl."
Aunt Qin called her childhood nickname and said sincerely: "Ah Jue and Ah Xun are already so old, why are you still at odds with Yuan Jing? I looked at her coldly, Yuan Jing is very clean around you, you are really Do you want to push your husband away?"
Hearing her mention Li Yuanjing, the smile at the corner of He Yunshu's mouth disappeared a little bit.
"Aunt Qin, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I don't care at all whether Li Yuanjing has other women. As for whether he does it for me, I know very well in my heart that he...he just doesn't have a chance..."
He Yunshu didn't want to talk anymore, so he talked to Aunt Qin about deworming the flowers.
Aunt Qin knew that her heart might have died a long time ago, so she simply stopped causing trouble for He Yunshu, and the two of them went to see flowers together.
After dinner, Aunt Qin's husband, Uncle Guan, took a thick brown paper bag and handed it to He Yunshu's hand.
"So many? I remember that Miss Shen was only twenty years old."
He Yunshu looked at it and frowned.
