Jinghua Tianjiao

Yuyan hurriedly explained, "Just tell me, I didn't mess with our mother. Mom said she was going to stay in a nursing home for a few days, why should she pack things here alone? I asked her to bring some more thick clothes. Isn’t it cool down? Mom won’t listen and insists on saying that she is in good health.”

"The nursing home has been heated for a long time. How can it get cold if you stay there all day?" said the old lady.
After hearing what the two said, Lao Du understood.When it came to the old lady's body, he and Yu Yan were on the same team, so he said to his wife, "Mom, I think Yan'er is right. Just listen to her and bring more thick clothes with you. . You can’t come out when you’re in the house, but you can’t stand the cold outside. There’s no harm in bringing more.”

The old lady immediately didn't want to talk to the two of them, and "complained" to Du Juan, "Juan'er, look. I originally thought about asking your dad to come over and talk about it, but I didn't expect that these two are wearing the same pair of pants. They are really an old couple. Whatever you do, do it towards the other side.”

Du Juan was smart, but she didn't mention it and asked the old lady directly, "Grandma, why did you suddenly decide to go back to live? Did we do something wrong? I've been too busy during this period. I haven't been here for a long time. I’ll stay with you.”

"No, no! What does this have to do with you?" the old lady said, "It's Xiaotian's grandfather. He hasn't called for a long time. I called him, but he didn't answer. I don't know what happened. I feel bad, and I think I should stay there for a while. You all said that you have time to go and visit other people's houses. I think you are getting busy now, and you don't have time to go, so why don't I, an old woman, go? I’ll do my best to help you.”

When the old lady said this, Yuyan replied guiltily, "Yeah, I've been very busy during this period. I rarely see Xiufen, and whenever I have something to do, I make a video call. Indeed, what I said at the time, That’s a bit big.”

"So, you all have your own things to do! It's better for me to go over there. Anyway, apart from walking and eating at home every day, I don't even have anyone to talk to."

Yuyan was worried that the old lady wanted to live in a nursing home permanently, and for a while she didn't know what to say.The old lady looked at her expression and said, "Don't worry, I just went over to take a look and chat with Xiaotian's grandfather. I haven't been there for a long time. I also miss this old friend. I don't know if he still remembers me." Don’t remember me.”

Du Juan understood and said, "Then I will send you there when the time comes."

"Forget it, Juan'er is so busy, why do you want to send me there... I'd better take a taxi there myself."

"Mom, please let Juan'er see you off, so that we can feel more at ease. I will go there with Juan'er then."

Naturally, Yuyan knew what the old lady was thinking, so she followed her and stuffed the thick clothes into the suitcase without any explanation, "Mom, just listen to me. You can just take these thick clothes with you."

"Yes, grandma, just take it with you."

The granddaughter said it worked, and grandma agreed to bring thick clothes.Yu Yan took a look and said, "Hey! If I had known this, I would have asked your granddaughter to persuade you. Your granddaughter is much easier to persuade you than me. She will listen to you as soon as you say it. I see your temper, so you will make trouble with me. .”

The old lady kept laughing, but Yu Yan had no choice but to pull Du Juan out of the house, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, Juan'er, let's go and cook."

When they got to the kitchen, Du Juan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, I don't know when grandma will go to the nursing home yet. Isn't there a new book publishing meeting held at Grandpa Zhao's place these days? Don't rush the time."

"It should be no problem. If you really get angry, let Xiufen help you talk to the master. The nursing home is not too far from here, and it will be over in a while. The master's book is published, so I have to rush there no matter what."

Du Juan was afraid that her mother would be too pressed for time, so she said, "Mom, how about I send grandma to her? Do you have enough time to make the two trips?" Yu Yan was not sure and could only say, "Then we can make arrangements at any time when the time comes. If you are serious, If it's too late, grandma will come back and I'll explain it to you. Mainly because I'm afraid that the old lady will think too much. You said that our whole family is usually so busy that we don't even have time to see her off. Alas..."

"How about I go." Lao Du said and entered the kitchen, "I can tell my mother about this later. You should go about your business. The old man's publishing conference is also a big event. You How would that work if I wasn’t there?”

"It's hard to have both loyalty and filial piety," Yu Yan said helplessly.
Lao Du comforted Yu Yan, "Don't worry and go to the publishing meeting. Leave the mother's affairs to me."

Yu Yan responded, "That's okay...Master's publication this time is rare. I don't know how many times I have revised this book. Gang Xiufen also told me that the specific details could not be discussed clearly in the video, and we had to meet in person to discuss it." Speaking of the current method, we really need to spend some time to accept it. Xiufen has been too hard during this period. I told her before that we would go to her home to find her if there was work, but she still came to the studio. Now the master's I'm afraid I'll be busy again at the publishing conference. This time, I have to have a good chat with her."

"Both she and Grandpa Zhao are amazing. I admire Grandpa Zhao very much. He has really persisted in silk art all his life. This journey has been too difficult... I remember that Grandpa Zhao did a lot of promotion for the book "Beijing Dolls" , this book was also mentioned in the press conference, but I always feel that it has been a long time and it is too difficult to publish this book. When it is published, I want Xinxin to read it. According to the short story mentioned before The video method allows more people to understand this skill.”

"Yes, "Beijing Dolls" tells the life of Beijing silk people, and most of my master's life. After this book was published, the people who read it most should be people in the silk art circle. Others probably won't buy it. They don’t understand this either, so they can only try to spread it in other ways.”

Lao Du didn't think so. He felt that "Beijing Doll" was lucky to be published, so he said, "Your master is a leader in the industry. Now everyone pays attention to intangible cultural heritage, maybe there will be unexpected gains? You I don’t know, it’s very difficult to publish now. Master Zhao’s book was published successfully, although it also experienced some twists and turns. But like us Chinese medicine doctors, the old director of our original department had previously published a book on traditional Chinese medicine. , they are all self-published. Publishers also need to see whether the things they want to publish have commercial value."

"Yes, everyone pays more attention to interests and pays too little attention to the things left by the older generation." Du Juan said
Master Zhao Xi’s book has gone through so much, just like Jinghuafang, from the first silk man to the present, it is not easy.No one understands the bitterness here better than Yu Yan and Du Juan.

When he heard that Yuyan was going to take the old lady of the Du family back to the nursing home, Mr. Liu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.Xiufen peeled oranges beside her and felt much more relaxed.Looking at her happy father, Xiufen said, "Dad! It makes you happy, now you have someone to chat with, right? My Aunt Du is coming, so you don't have to worry about me."

"I didn't find you annoying during the time you were here." Mr. Liu knew clearly this time that he couldn't remember the things he disliked Xiufen when he was confused.

Xiufen smiled and said, "Dad, I think you really have selective amnesia. But I'm really touched that Aunt Du can come this time. You always like to talk about the past, but this past thing I can’t remember much. Now, for nothing else, as long as you are happy, that’s the most important thing.”

"Alas." Mr. Liu sighed, "But you don't want to mention this past thing, and I don't want to make you sad. You have done enough for this family."

Xiufen knew that the old man was talking about her husband Liu Yun, even though she had already let go of the matter with the Du family.But when she really faced Liu Yun, Xiufen still couldn't let go. What she couldn't let go was not the past grudges, but when she thought of him, Xiufen was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept the beautiful memories like a flood of beasts.

"Dad, I understand..." Xiufen separated the peeled oranges and placed them on a small plate on the table.

Unlike before, the old man might still persuade Xiufen to let go of all the worries in her heart, but now he won't. He feels that after so many years, Xiufen has lived her own way, and that's enough.
