Why it never ends

This gaze made Ding Xueyang feel an inexplicable pressure. The smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she quickly checked her clothes in the mirror. However, she did not find anything unusual.

"What's the matter...?"

"How are you doing today?" Hesta asked.

"I...?" Ding Xueyang was still a little confused. She looked at her mother and sister, then looked back at Hesta with a smile, "It's okay, why do you ask..."

"You look even more tired than you did yesterday."

"yes……?"

Ding Xueyang walked to the mirror and looked at her face carefully for a while. The face in the mirror was still the one she was most familiar with - including the wrinkles under the eye sockets and at the end of the eyes, the light brown spots near the eyebrow frame, and the facial expressions on both sides of the nose. Nasal wrinkles that are hard to hide with a smile...

"I have been a little relaxed during this period," Ding Xueyang turned back and looked at Ding Yuqing, "I'd better put on light makeup before going out."

"You are a pregnant woman," Ding Yuqing said softly, "It's better to use less of these -"

"Essence and energy are also very important." Ding Xueyang looked back at herself in the mirror. She placed her left hand on her cheek and examined every flaw on her face. "Maintaining a good state will make people feel better."

Ding Yuqing looked away, "...hmm."

"I still have the list you made before you were pregnant last time," Xu Ruyi turned around, "It was when you were pregnant with Miaomiao. Do you still remember? At that time, you did a round of cosmetics safety ingredient screening... Do you want it? Now?"

Ding Xueyang's eyes brightened slightly, "Mom, you still have it?"

"I've kept all your things and put them all in my room." Xu Ruyi put Miaomiao down and held her hand instead, "I'll go look for it now."

"No, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Ding Xueyang yawned, "I'm really too tired today..."

Just as Xu Ruyi was about to answer, Ding Guisheng behind him suddenly said: "Oh, then you should go and rest early."

Ding Guisheng patted the sofa and motioned for Miao Miao to sit next to him, "I just have something to say to you tomorrow morning."

Ding Xueyang lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer. He just waved to Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, come here, let's go to bed."

Shi Yimiao looked at her grandfather, then at her mother, and finally ran to Ding Guisheng's side.

"...I want to play for a while longer." The child whispered.

No one spoke anymore, and the entire living room fell into a strange silence. Ding Guisheng looked at the TV with an indifferent expression and coughed and wheezed several times in succession to clear his throat.

Hesta's eyes scanned the faces of everyone here. Even though she heard a lot of key words in the conversation just now, she was still puzzled by the sudden cold atmosphere in front of her - one second it was sunny and sunny, the next The rain is about to come in seconds, and it seems like this happens every day in this family, and everyone is used to it.

Ding Xueyang turned around and waved to Hesta, "Good night."

"Good night." Hesta said in Southern District [-], "I hope you have a good dream."

"……thanks."

Not long after Ding Xueyang returned to the room, the sound of turning keys came from the entrance to the living room - Shi Pingchuan came back with his bag. With a smile on his face, he greeted everyone in high spirits and quickly went up to the second floor humming a song. .

……

The next morning, Hesta woke up early. She opened the bedroom door and saw that Ding Yuqing was the only one at the dining table in the living room. Xu Ruyi was still busy in the kitchen, not knowing what she was doing.

Hesta greeted Ding Yuqing, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Ruyi heard footsteps and turned around to find Hesta standing at the door. "...Are you up?" Hesta nodded.She saw a lot of fruits cut on the kitchen chopping board. About a dozen palm-sized square lunch boxes were placed next to them. Xu Ruyi was placing fruit pieces in each small box.

"What's wrong? Do you want to get something?" Xu Ruyi asked.

"I made an appointment with a dishwasher repairman. She is available this afternoon and evening. She asked us when it would be convenient for us to come over."

"Ah? A dishwasher?" Xu Ruyi was stunned for a while, "...Oh, you don't have to worry about it. Jiali bought this dishwasher, and the warranty is with him. He just made a call and someone came to repair it for free - —You have to spend money to call people, right?"

"No need." Hesta replied, "I heard from Yuqing that the dishwasher has been broken for a few months, so..."

"It doesn't matter, I keep forgetting this. I will definitely urge him when Jiali comes back today -"

"No trouble, will you be home in the afternoon?" Hesta asked, "I can be back at four o'clock in the afternoon. If you are not there at that time, I can pick you up, if you are relieved."

"Don't worry, of course don't worry, but -"

"That's it." Hesta's eyes glanced at the chopping board again, "What are you preparing?"

"Haha, they are all prepared for the children in the institution...there is a speech contest today."

"Then you continue your work." Hesta took down a bowl of yogurt that had been packed from the dining table, "I'm out."

Xu Ruyi stood there at a loss, "...Hey."

Hesta left the kitchen, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Ding Yuqing, "Morning."

"Eat quickly." Ding Yuqing whispered.

"……why?"

"There will be a quarrel at home soon," Ding Yuqing glanced at the second floor, "Let's see when my sister comes down."

"What do you mean..." Hesta dragged the chair and leaned a few inches closer to Ding Yuqing, "I don't understand, please explain it more clearly."

"My dad must be talking to her today about changing Shi Yimiao's surname. He has been arguing before that since Miao Miao is a daughter, it is best to take her mother's surname. But because my sister had a caesarean section at the time, I am not sure whether she can I couldn’t have a second child, so the matter ended later.”

"Then……?"

"The situation is different now," Ding Yuqing changed from her usual habit and stuffed bread into her mouth, "The person named Shi already has a son, so my father will definitely bring up the old matter again, and Miao Miao must take his surname. "

Hesta tried to figure out the reason, but still didn't understand: "...Is there anything special about this?"

"It doesn't matter. My dad simply doesn't like to suffer." Ding Yuqing used bread slices to stir up the yogurt bowl, "And Miaomiao is his favorite granddaughter."

"I can tell."

"Do you know why?"

"why."

"My father taught Miao Miao chess personally," Ding Yuqing smiled, "Their chess friends basically have grandchildren now. Everyone gathers together to watch the juniors play chess. Miao Miao is a little girl who can kill A piece of someone else’s precious grandchild.”

Shi Yimiao's strange scream suddenly came from the second floor.

"...Okay, everyone is awake." Ding Yuqing stood up. She glanced at Hesta's bowl, "Eat quickly, it's too late if you don't run away."
