Mrs. Hu is very personalized after 40, daughter-in-law Alain is very personalized after 80, and a pair of personalized mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live together, often friction a little spark.

This is not, the son has just gone on a business trip, and Mrs. Hu and her daughter-in-law are in a fight. The two topped each other a few words, Mrs. Hu pulled the door and walked out in a huff. Just downstairs, the phone in her pocket rang, and she took it out to see that it was Alain's call. The old lady hesitated and pressed the answer button. Alain said on the other end: "Where are you going? Don't go too far, get lost, when your son comes back to ask me for someone, I don't have!" Old Mrs. Hu was angry and responded angrily, "Don't you care! Lost without you to find, sold without you to buy!" Said the phone into the pocket tucked it, and continue to walk.

As she was walking in such anger, Mrs. Hu suddenly bumped into an old sister, Mrs. Ma, with whom she had a good conversation. The old lady Hu's eyes were involuntarily red and she almost shed tears.

Mrs. Ma asked with concern, "Sister Hu, what's wrong with you?" The old lady wiped the corner of her eyes and said that she had nothing to do with it. The old lady Ma could not believe it, a few times guessed, old lady Hu shook her head. Finally, Mrs. Ma clapped her hands and said loudly, "I understand, your son is not on a business trip. It must be your daughter-in-law who has given you a hard time!"

Although Mrs. Hu was still angry, but also a protective person, quickly waved her hand: "Where do you think? No, my Alan is very good, especially understanding. Early this morning, she even gave me a special stew to nourish my body!" Ma Laotai heard, half-heartedly said: "Really? Aigoo, your daughter-in-law is good to you! I'd be happy if my daughter-in-law was half as good as yours!"

When old Mrs. Hu heard people praise her daughter-in-law, her face unconsciously glowed a little.

Mrs. Ma asked her where she was going again. Mrs. Hu spread her hands and said, "Nothing, the family's work, my daughter-in-law does not let me interfere, idle, just go around, and go back to eat when hungry." Mrs. Ma was happy to hear that: "Good! I have nothing to do either!" Thus, the two old ladies formed a partnership, happy shopping. Three turns, the two entered a large shopping mall, which is promoting a footbath.

The two stood and listened with interest, and the more they listened, the more they were impressed. Ma old lady stabbed Hu old lady, said: "ah, if my son has money, ask him to buy one to use, but unfortunately my son's money is let daughter-in-law control, people certainly do not let buy!" Said, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Your family knows how to do it, let your son buy one, I can also go to your house to get the glory!" Mrs. Hu not only loves face but also a little bit of vanity, without thinking, "Hey, you do not say, my daughter-in-law bought me one."

"Really?" Old Mrs. Ma's eyes were round with envy and surprise, "Sister Hu, you are so lucky!"

Old Mrs. Hu couldn't help but drift away, pulling Old Mrs. Ma away: "Don't look, actually this basin is nothing, it's not as comfortable as my daughter-in-law washing my feet!" Ma old lady is even more envious, not even saying anything.

The two old ladies finished shopping at the mall and went to the park, and before they knew it, it was noon. The old lady Hu's stomach has been almost dissipated, also feel hungry, so said to go home to eat.

The two old ladies said, "Sister Hu, I want to go to your house today to drink Wangba soup, by the way, borrow your foot wash basin to use, to taste what it is." The old lady Hu was stunned, stammering, half a day could not say anything.

The old lady took a look at her face and said with a big grin, "I said sister, you should not be afraid that your daughter-in-law scolded you for bringing someone back, right?"

The old woman Hu heard, the problem again, her chest a beat: "What words? Last year, a group of sisters came to stay at home for more than a month, and my daughter-in-law vacated the bed!"

"That's good!" Ma said with a smile, "I have to come to your house today to enjoy your blessings!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Mrs. Hu immediately regretted it. The bragging is big, people go in to see no Wang Ba soup, no footbath, where to hold their face?

The old lady Ma warmly held her and went. Hu Laotai involuntarily pulled her to the door, thinking left and right, there is no way back, hard head knocked on the door. When the door opened, Alain stood inside with a smile: "Mom, you're back from your walk, just in time for dinner."

The old lady Hu couldn't help but be stunned, how come Alan came down with a big change? She sat down at the table with Mrs. Ma, and Alan turned around and brought out a pot of soup from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Mrs. Ma, you're just in time today, I've stewed a kingfisher for my mother.

The two old ladies looked into the basin, and a big Wang Ba was lying in the basin, and the aroma was overwhelming. Mrs. Hu almost shouted, her eyes were rounded and she subconsciously looked at Alan.

Alain's face is smiling, the food is served up, mouth affectionately talking, as if there is nothing wrong. Mrs. Ma kept praising Alan, while Mrs. Hu was confused and puzzled: it was not strange that Alan's attitude had changed 180 degrees when she had a guest at the door, but it was strange that Alan seemed to have the foresight and had stewed a kingfisher.

After dinner, the two old ladies sat down on the living room sofa to watch TV. Mrs. Ma asked quietly, "Hey, sister Hu, where is your footbath?"

Mrs. Hu was about to say that someone had borrowed it when Alan answered first, "Oh, the footbath, it's in the room. Granny Ma, let me bring it out for you to try." She went into the house and came out a while later, holding a footbath sold in the mall.

Mrs. Ma gave a thumbs up to Alan: "Good daughter-in-law! I heard sister Hu say that you bought her a footbath, I did not quite believe it, ah, my sister Hu do not know what virtue in the last life, to marry a good daughter-in-law such as you! Old Mrs. Hu's eyes went straight and she was almost dumb.

Alain enthusiastically connected the footbath to the electricity and served Ma Laotai a painful foot bath. Mrs. Ma laughed heartily, praised Alan a lot, and went back contentedly.

The old lady Hu is also a hundred comfort, grateful to A Lan, thanks to her magical powers, she did not lose face in front of the old lady Ma! As soon as the guests left, she immediately shouted: "Alan, you ...... how did you remember to stew Wangba soup today and how did you remember to buy a footbath?"

Alain smiled mischievously: "Mom, didn't you tell Granny Ma that I would give you Wangba soup today? Did you also buy a footbath for you?" Old Mrs. Hu froze and shouted, "Alan, you have the ears of the wind, don't you? How did you know?"

"Mom, I even heard you praise me for my understanding!" Alain's face was filled with gratitude and shame, "Afterwards, I immediately went downstairs to the restaurant and bought back the Wangba soup, and called the mall to send the foot wash basin. I didn't expect that Granny Ma came to our house, but luckily I didn't make you lose face."

Mrs. Hu blushed, embarrassed, and said, "How did you know?"

Alain smiled faintly, "Mom, your son is not at home and left you to me, you gambled with me to leave home, do you think I can rest assured? How can I explain to your son if I lost you? So I called you on the phone and never hung up!"

Mrs. Hu was stunned and suddenly realized: that every time she called, she ended the call and always forgot to press hang up. I don't know how many times my son and daughter-in-law have told her about this. This time the old problem again, when she went out to answer the phone, her daughter-in-law did not hang up, she left home for more than half an hour, her daughter-in-law has been monitoring her!
