Xu Tangcheng didn't go to Happy Valley, which made Yi Zhe brooding.
He didn't report in advance when he got home that day, so after he went back, he found that the house was empty, and he called again to ask, only to know that grandma was sick.
"The day before yesterday, I started to say that my throat was sore and my stomach was uncomfortable. Your uncle said that he would not take her to see her. She had been taking medicine for two days. She suddenly said that she felt cold. Let's take her to see the doctor tomorrow. Let her take her temperature, she must have a fever."
My grandmother was pretty healthy on weekdays, except for high blood pressure. But the old man's body is no better than that of ordinary people, and it is not easy to heal if there is any problem. On the way to the uncle's house, Xu Tangcheng's forehead could not be flattened. When he saw his grandma and saw that she was wearing a padded jacket, he felt even more uncomfortable. Grandma has always been afraid of heat but not cold. In summer, when the air conditioner is turned on, she must always sit under the air conditioner where it can blow. Even if she sometimes feels distressed about electricity and is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, she turns on the fan herself, so that the fan blows her directly without shaking her head. . In winter, when you are at home, you have to put on a thick vest or a padded jacket if you have to talk about it.
"Tang Cheng is back."
When grandma saw him come in, she immediately started laughing. Xu Tangcheng's eyes suddenly became sore when he heard her hoarse and low voice because of an uncomfortable throat.
"What's the matter, why are you sick?"
"It's okay," Grandma patted the seat next to him and asked him to sit down, "I think it's just getting angry."
"Why don't you go to the hospital?"
The aunt hurriedly said, "Your grandma said she felt feverish when she was about to eat. She wanted to go see her tomorrow. We said that if she didn't go to the hospital now, she would accept your Uncle Chen's doctor. As a result, your uncle took a look. The house was closed early, so I just called him and said that he was outside, and your uncle went to pick it up."
Taking out the thermometer, Xu Tangcheng looked under the lamp, it was already 37 degrees 8.
"There are paper cups under the water dispenser. When people come, they will bring them to make water for them. Don't use glass cups, because they will dislike it."
Seeing her like this and still thinking about others, Xu Yueliang, who was already worried and anxious, could not help but read angrily: "You can just leave others alone? It's time. We've said it over and over again, if you're not feeling well, Tell us earlier, you are always supporting yourself, you are always afraid of causing trouble for us, and you are afraid of causing trouble for us, so let’s not say whether it is a trouble or not. Do you think it will be more and more messy, if you go to the hospital earlier , do you have this?"
"dad!"
"Okay, okay." Zhou Hui also tugged at Xu Yueliang, "Don't say a few words, Mom is uncomfortable."
Grandma listened, didn't speak, just patted Xu Tangcheng's hand on her lap. Xu Tangcheng held her back: "don't pay attention to my dad, he loves you."
Xu Tangcheng knew that grandma has always been such a character, thinking about everything for others, for fear of causing trouble for others. Speaking of hurting people, he has never seen someone who hurts people more than his grandmother.
"I know." Grandma nodded.
Because of lack of energy, grandma's eyelids kept drooping down, which was very different from usual. Xu Tangcheng felt distressed and held her hand without letting go. Soon, I heard my grandmother say: "I think it's just getting angry, holding back, and it's nothing. But it's not good. I'm afraid that something really happens. If there is something, you will suffer."
The doctor came soon, and the grandmother had to get up to greet her, but was quickly supported by the doctor. After a careful look, the doctor prescribed medicine, saying that he should take the medicine for three days first, and if it does not improve, consider transfusion.
Xu Tangcheng went to the pharmacy to buy medicine according to the list, and then marked the usage and dosage as ordered by the doctor on the medicine box. Three times a day, draw three vertical lines, and two slices at a time, draw two circles. To be more detailed, if it must be taken after meals, then draw the shape of a bowl. It's been a habit for so many years.
When they were all ready, and told grandma twice, Xu Tangcheng helped grandma to lie down in the room. After grandma rested, he called Wanzhi and told her that he was really sorry and that he couldn't make the appointment the day after tomorrow. Wanzhi learned that his family was sick and immediately said it was okay.
"Well, the tickets are all with you. Can you find another friend to accompany you? If there is a chance in the future, I will apologize to you again."
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it, I'll take care of it, you can take care of your family at home with peace of mind."
He was really sorry for letting the pigeons go temporarily, and it was something with a girl's shyness. After hanging up the phone, still worried that his cool date would make Wanzhi a little embarrassed in front of the pair, he sent a message to the boy among them, explaining that it was really sudden, and apologized.
On the third morning, my grandmother's condition finally improved. Xu Tangcheng got up early, first called to ask about the condition of his uncle and grandma, and after he was relieved, he drove around to buy a wonton.
Probably because of the discomfort, my grandmother's appetite has not been very good these two days. Wontons were eaten by my grandmother when she lived in the old house.
Waiting at the wonton stall, I saw a new fried dumpling opened. Seeing that the business was booming, Xu Tangcheng told the owner of the wonton stall to cook for him later, and he went to line up to buy a fried bun.
While waiting in line, the call came, and when Xu Tangcheng saw the screen, he remembered that he forgot to ask YiZhe how he went to Shanghai for the past two days.
"It's not fun," said Duan Yizhe firmly, "I don't know why, my dad has been taking me and Yi Xun to dinner and socializing with his business partners. I'm hardly eating or accompanying me these two days. They play."
Xu Tangcheng guessed whether it was because of his grandmother's illness that he finally recovered. Hearing the young man's voice complaining, he felt a lot of relief all of a sudden.
"And that boss has a daughter who said she wanted to go shopping at lunch yesterday, and my dad asked me to accompany her. I immediately said I wouldn't go, but my dad... "
Yi Zhe stopped when he said this, and Xu Tangcheng asked, "Your dad just told you?"
"No." YiZhe's voice became even lower, "But he gave me a look."
To be honest, Xu Tangcheng didn't know much about Yi Zhe's father. He remembered that at that time, his father couldn't see anyone for almost a month or two, but every time he came back, he would know. Because that must have been the two days when Xiang Xiying was scolded the most.
Although he didn't understand, he could guess what kind of situation it would be like to directly reject something that was obviously trying to please the other party in such a dinner situation involving interests.
"Don't think too much, I guess your father should be the weaker party in this cooperative relationship, so he will use some unofficial means to properly win over the other party. How should I say it," Xu Tangcheng tilted his head and thought. A milder wording was chosen, "This is more common."
There was a brief silence on the phone. After that, Yi Zhe told him simply, "I don't like it."
"Ok, I know."
After the fight was unfairly remembered, how could a person who has to stand tall can get used to these scenes.
"But I still agreed," Yi Zhe said. "I went shopping with her for a day yesterday. It was very annoying to wait for her to try on clothes and carry bags for her."
The trip to Shanghai was very different from what he expected. He didn't even have a good word with his father at all. His younger brother would hide as much as he could, and push him if he could. He knew that if he didn't go to some things, Yi Xun was going to go. Under such a combination of various reasons, he still gave in.
Xu Tangcheng naturally knew how unsmooth YiZhe's way of things was, so he could hear his full of anguish and dislike from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing it, it naturally hurts.
"Come back if you don't like it."
Shengjian finally reached him. The boss asked him what flavor he wanted. He put his phone away a little and said, "One serving each of fresh shrimp and beef."
"Um?"
YiZhe didn't hear clearly, thinking he was saying something to himself.
"It's alright, I'm buying shengjian, queuing up, it's just my turn." Speaking of which, Xu Tangcheng tried to adjust YiZhe's mood, "By the way, there's a new shengjian in the family, you know, in Wenming Road, it looks delicious."
After Yi Zhe listened, he didn't focus on the newly opened Shengjian. He was stunned: "Home? Didn't you go to Happy Valley today?"
"I didn't go, my grandma was not feeling well, so I temporarily missed the appointment."
Xu Tangcheng walked back with the raw fry, took the wontons from the wonton stand, and returned to the car. During this period, the phone has not been interrupted.
"Well, it's much better today. I'll buy her something to eat."
"Then your classmate..." YiZhe asked tentatively.
"I can only explain and apologize."
Speaking of this, Xu Tangcheng suddenly stopped. Leaning on the back of his chair, he looked at the people who came and went to buy vegetables in the morning market. He suddenly sighed when he thought of Wanzhi and Happy Valley.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just feel that I didn't handle this matter well." He thought for a while and asked, "Yizhe, have you ever liked anyone?"
This question caused YiZhe over there to stop his heartbeat almost immediately. But before he could say anything, Xu Tangcheng who was on the phone had already started talking to himself.
"I think I'm very strange. I've never been in a relationship when I've grown up so much, and I haven't even had the urge to like her very much and want to fall in love with her. I suspect that I may be more suitable for the idea of 'long-time love', But I'm also afraid that if I suddenly find out that my feelings for this girl are not that kind of liking after contacting others, it will be very unfair to her." He smiled bitterly, "So, suddenly I don't know what to do. Just fine."
After speaking, he waited for a while, but YiZhe didn't give him any response.
"Yizhe?"
He called out to him strangely.
"Well," YiZhe said quickly, "I'm here."
"You said, what does it feel like to like someone? When you see this person, do you really have a different emotion than you treat others?"
The radio waves carry thousands of twists and turns in my heart, and when I meet that love, no matter how resolute the teenager will become delicate.
"I do not know either."
he whispered.
In the past Shiliyangchang, today's Shanghai Bund, I can't count how many people passed by.
Generation after generation has become history, who has never lied.
