Video 48 (Part 1)

  Because it was outside the village, Zhao Yang's applied optical fiber wasn't pulled through until Friday afternoon.

  Although Chen Xi didn't know what a video was, she knew that today she could see her mother Chen Mei. From dinner time to 7 o'clock, she had already asked Zhao Yang several times "Can I see Mom now?"

  Sun Zhenxiang also stayed in the orchard to take care of Chen Xi, but actually she wanted to see what Chen Mei looked like.

  However, it wasn't until 7:50 that Chen Mei came online.

  As soon as the video connected, Chen Mei hastily said: "The road is a bit congested, I'm late, sorry! Where's Xiaoxi?"

  From the video, Chen Mei's clothes hadn't been changed in time, still wearing a white blouse with seven buttons and a black skirt from work, her face had just been washed, hair ends still dripping with water. She should have just gotten off work and returned home, not sure if she had eaten dinner yet.

  Zhao Yang felt a sudden pang in his heart and wanted to ask her many questions, but in the end he just said gently: "Sister-in-law, take care of your body and don't overwork yourself!"

  Chen Mei tidied up the hair by her ears and scolded, "Alright, sister, you're so big now, do you still need me to teach you? Quickly bring my precious daughter over and let me see if you've taken good care of her! I heard her voice!"

  Sun Zhenxiang saw Chen Mei in the video and immediately felt that she was more beautiful than those big stars on TV! But why did Zhao Yang call her sister? I'll have to ask Zhao Yang when I have time!

  Zhao Yang also knew that Chen Mei was worried about Chen Xue, so he didn't say anything more. He first placed a cushion on the armchair, then took Chen Xue from Sun Zhenxiang's arms and put her down on it.

  Chen Xi had seen Chen Mei early in the morning. As soon as she sat down, she shouted loudly: "Mom! Mom! Do you see me? I see you!"

  Chen Mei's figure on the screen leaned in close to the computer, as if that would allow her to see Chen Xiu more clearly!

  In just five days, Chen Xi seemed to have transformed into a different person! She had two braids on her head, looking cute and neat, with eyes that appeared especially large; originally her skin was very pale, but now it looked more radiant and healthy, with a hint of red undertones. Her voice, which used to be as gentle as a flute, was now loud and clear like a trumpet, full of energy and power!

  Seeing Chen Xi wearing a white sleeveless T-shirt with small flowers, Chen Mei smiled and said: "Xi Xi, this dress is really beautiful, who bought it for you?"

  "Chen Xi turned around and pulled Sun Zhenxiang's hand saying: 'It was bought by grandma!'"

  Sun Zhenxiang leaned forward and stared at the computer screen, saying: "You're Xixi's mom, right? Xixi is so well-behaved, I especially like her!"

  "It's Auntie, right? I've caused you trouble!"

  Sun Zhenxiang was overjoyed and couldn't close his mouth, waving his hand and saying: "Not troublesome at all, not a bit!"

  Zhao Yang pulled Sun Zhenxiang and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xi can't sit in front of the computer for too long, let her mother talk to her!"

  "Daughter, I won't delay you two chatting! When are you coming to our place to play for a few days? Our place is great, and Xixi really likes it here!"

  Zhao Yang rearranged Chen Xi's position while saying: "My mom especially likes you, it's just that you talk too much!"

  Chen Mei smiled and said, "Auntie is very nice, but she looks really young!"

  Sun Zhenxiang touched her face and said with a smile: "This child is really good at talking!"

  Chen Mei saw Chen Xi holding Zhao Yang's hand and sitting obediently, so she said in a spoiled tone: "Xi Xi, is Uncle Zhao Yang's house fun?"

  Chen Xue suddenly became excited and started talking with gestures: There are beautiful waterfalls, a garden full of fruit trees, flowers on the mountain, wild fruits, and of course, can't forget about Xiaohong and Xiaohei at home!

  Looking at Chen Xi's healthy and lively appearance, listening to her clear and crisp voice, Chen Mei felt that the fatigue of the day was instantly dissipated, and a warm and happy feeling filled her heart!

  Chen Xiu spoke freely, saying whatever came to mind, and in between, she took a few sips of water handed over by Sun Zhenxiang. She continued to talk about all sorts of interesting things, no matter how simple they were, but after she spoke, they became fascinating!

  Chen Xi had just finished speaking when Zhao Yang reminded her, "Don't you have something to show Mom?"

  At Zhao's reminder, Chenxi happily squeezed her face against Zhao Yang's arm and shouted into the microphone: "It's a photo! I want to show Mom the photos! First look at my and Xiaohong's photos!"

  Zhaoyang sent over a photo of Chenxi holding Xiaohong. In the photo, Chenxi had her arms around Xiaohong's neck, with her face buried in Xiaohong's hair, while Xiaohong was turned sideways, looking at her with a helpless expression that seemed to say "what are you doing getting so close?"

  After sending it over, Zhao Yang sent the photos of Chen Xi and Xiao Hei. In this photo, Chen Xi was hugging Xiao Hei's neck, and Xiao Hei's mouth was pulled back, as if smiling!

  The third photo is Chenxi taking a picture under the Jade Dragon Waterfall. Chenxi wore a white tower-shaped dress, with a golden and silver flower crown on her head, standing in front of the dragon's nest, just like a beautiful little angel!

  When Zhao Yang opened the fourth photo to send over, Chen Xi grabbed his hand and said: "Don't show mom this one!"

  "Really? Why didn't you show Mom?"

  "Xi Xi is shy!"

  Chen Mei couldn't help but smile, and then pretended to be disappointed, saying: "You show it to Uncle Zhao Yang, but not to Mom, Mom will be heartbroken!"

  The dawn pouted with a small mouth and reluctantly said: "Okay!"

  This photo was also taken under Yulong Waterfall, the difference is that this one doesn't wear a skirt, only wearing an orange little underwear!

  Chen Xi buried her head in Zhao Yang's arms, secretly looking at Chen Mei, seeing her covering her mouth and laughing, then loudly said: "Mom, you're not allowed to laugh!"

  Chen Mei hastily retracted her smile and said: "Okay, Mom won't laugh! Are there any more photos?"

  There are many more photos of her, including ones of her eating peaches with her head down, gnawing on chicken meat, lying on a mat sleeping, and sitting together with Zhao Yang's family for a photo.

  After transmitting all these photos, more than half an hour has passed. In order to protect Chen Xi's eyes, this video will also come to an end!

  Zhao Yang originally wanted to chat with Chen Mei for a while longer, but thinking that she might not have eaten yet, he reminded her to get some rest early and then ended the video call.

  Chen Mei didn't leave the computer immediately, but instead looked at the photos one by one again. From these photos, she seemed to see her daughter's happy appearance and heard her cheerful voice!

  Especially one of them is a photo of Chenxi lying in Zhao Yang's arms: Chenxi wears a small vest, Zhao Yang wears a vest of the same color, and the two lie together like father and daughter!

  Chen Mei set this photo as her desktop wallpaper and took a look, feeling a sense of solidity in her heart.

  At 9:30 in the evening, Morning closed her computer. Normally, if she had been hungry for so long, she would have lost her appetite by now, but today she really wanted to eat a bowl of egg cake, which was what Zhao Yang made for her the first time he cooked for her!
