He Feimo and I made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened at the engagement party last time. Since then, I have never seen him again, nor have I had any contact with Liang Sheng.
I didn't dare to ask him, so I could only talk about unrelated things casually.
Without saying a few words, I was called by my mother to join them in joining the group, that is, to play mahjong with them.
My dad is still worried about my affairs, but it’s hard for him to say anything as he is celebrating the Chinese New Year. He has no enthusiasm for me, but seems to be deliberately ignoring me. I don't care about him either. He should eat, drink, and laugh when he should.
My mother saw that my father was not in a very good mood, so she asked him: "How is that colleague of yours?"
My dad’s voice was dull and he answered reluctantly: “Still in the hospital.”
"Can his leg be healed?" my mother continued to ask.
My dad frowned: "I don't know, I guess it's not very likely."
Grandma stood aside, eating pistachios, and exclaimed: "It's a pity that I had a car accident at such a young age, so I tell you, you should drive slower, especially you!" She pointed at my mother and said: " Go home early after get off work and don't always drive late at night. Why do you, a woman, take your career so seriously? If you are too eager to learn, just follow your father!"
Grandma can now mention her deceased grandpa with a calm expression. I looked at her and played a card casually. Jiang Duo happily pushed the card: "I'm confused. Thank you for your words."
In two hours, I had already lost a thousand yuan. I was so unlucky that I had no desire to continue the fight. Liang Sheng's phone call happened to come, and I found a reason to step down. I pointed my chin at my uncle and said, "Come on."
The uncle waved his hand, "How can I play with Jiang Duo at the same table? Let your dad do it."
I glanced at my dad. He was sitting aside silently. I didn't take the initiative to talk to him. I raised my legs and left. "Which of you can come in? I'll leave first."
When the phone was picked up, Liang Sheng asked me unhappily, "Why did it take so long to answer?"
"I was just playing mahjong."
"You can also play mahjong?" Liang Sheng was obviously doubting my IQ.
I rolled my eyes, although he couldn't see it, and said in a gritted voice: "You're looking down on me, I'm a genius sister."
Liang Sheng smiled disapprovingly: "Just to fool the five-year-old Liang Rui, uh no, he is six years old."
I didn't answer, so he continued: "Let me guess whether you won or lost. How long did you fight and how big was it?"
"Two hours, two hundred and forty-six doubled, five dollars." I put on my coat and walked out. The night was getting darker, and there were fireworks blooming in the distance from time to time. The night wind blew by, making me shiver slightly.
Liang Sheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You lost at least a thousand yuan."
I was surprised, "How do you know?"
"That's where IQ lies." Liang Sheng replied lazily, with a bit of arrogance in his tone.
I rolled my eyes. I was so excited. Mathematics is so amazing.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Liang Sheng asked again: "Who are you playing mahjong with?"
When he asked, I suddenly cheered up and my steps became much more brisk. I thought, he was playing cards with Wei Lan and made me unhappy. I also want to make him jealous, "With friends at home."
"Is there a man?" Liang Sheng asked.
"Well, we all grew up together." I added specifically: "We have a great relationship."
Liang Sheng was silent for a moment and raised his voice, "Aren't you afraid that you won't have any New Year's gifts?"
I pretended not to understand what he meant, "What's wrong? I just play mahjong, nothing else."
Liang Sheng was obviously unhappy, "Who are you following?"
He actually didn't believe me, so I had to tell the truth, "Who else can I talk to? My family."
There are a lot of people walking in the community at night, especially the area near the small park. Even on New Year's Eve, there are still people sitting in groups on stone benches chatting, and people walking their dogs from time to time.
Liang Sheng's voice was slightly reproachful, "How dare you lie to me."
"Are you unhappy?" I asked.
"Why should I be happy?" Liang Sheng was puzzled.
"I'm jealous. Don't you just like that I'm jealous?" Walking into the narrow alley beside the wall, I didn't feel embarrassed because of the dim light, and I spoke much more calmly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Liang Sheng suddenly laughed, "So Yanyan also deliberately made me angry?"
"Humph." I grunted and ignored him. I grabbed my phone and kept walking aimlessly, circling around the community.
Liang Sheng explained with a smile: "Don't worry about Wei Lan. I didn't accept her before and I won't accept her in the future."
It’s not that I doubted him, I said I was jealous of Wei Lan, but rather I was jealous of Wei Lan. She had been so close to Liang Sheng since she was born. If we were talking about childhood sweethearts, they were the two. And Wei Lan's conditions are so superior that even I can't help but look at her a few more times, let alone a man. If Weilan is interested, who knows if some unknown changes will happen later.
As I was thinking about it, something suddenly kicked under my feet. Before I could react, there was a fierce barking accompanied by a sudden burst of pain, which scared me so much that I screamed.
A huge golden retriever-like dog bit me hard on my calf and was still tearing at my pants. I was so frightened that I ran away, and the dog kept chasing after me. Still holding the phone in his hand, Liang Sheng's voice asked urgently: "What happened, Yanyan?"
He called my name over and over again, but I was in no mood to respond to him. All my attention was focused on the dog behind me. My screams attracted many people. The dog caught up with me and kept biting my trousers. Passersby told me to stand still. Several men came forward to help me scare the dog. Fortunately, The dog owner reacted quickly and rushed out after hearing the sound. Seeing that I was bitten, he quickly came up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our dogs don't usually bite, and I don't know what happened today."
I was so frightened that I dared to move when I saw the dog being tied around the neck by its owner. Liang Sheng's voice continued: "Yanyan, what happened?"
I replied nonchalantly, looking down at my torn trousers, "I was bitten by a dog."
There was silence on the other side of the phone. I could imagine Liang Sheng's speechless expression. I want to say that I was also speechless. The dog owner was still apologizing and repeatedly emphasized that their dogs usually do not bite. I probably know why this dog bit me. It seemed that he was sleeping there just now, and I lifted his head with my kick. I'm putting my feet into the dog's mouth.
A passerby said, "Take her to the hospital for an injection so she doesn't get sick."
I was forced to notify my mother, and under the leadership of the dog owner, I went to the hospital to get vaccinated on New Year's Eve. Liang Sheng laughed all night. When I came back, I lay on the bed and chatted with him, and he sent me laughing emoticons for several hours. I can't wait to block him.
I said angrily: "You are also responsible!"
Every time Liang Sheng replies, he always puts on a laughing expression: "Whoever told you to answer the phone without stopping, even a dog can't stand it."
I nodded and replied, "Yes, even dogs can't stand it."
He couldn't stop laughing at the words, and he felt the pleasure of taking revenge.
After chatting for a while, Liang Sheng told me a few words and told me to have a good rest. I looked at my bandaged ankle and felt a faint pain in my heart.
Early the next morning, the news that I was bitten by a dog spread throughout the community. Everyone in my family and many familiar friends in Haicheng knew about it. Before eight o'clock, people came to my house one after another carrying fruit baskets to see me.
On the surface, they all came to visit me, but in fact, they finally had the opportunity to curry favor with my family. When grandpa was here, people came to give gifts in different ways almost every day. After grandpa left, grandma took charge of the house and refused all outsiders. Slowly, fewer people came to my house. This time I was bitten by a dog. It was just a spark, enough to start a prairie fire.
As it approaches noon, fruit basket gift boxes are already piled up in my room. On the first day of the new year, just as I was about to spend it in bed, Liang Sheng's phone call suddenly came. I was overjoyed and quickly picked up the phone.
Liang Sheng's voice was melodious and he seemed to be in a good mood: "How are your legs? Can you still walk? Can you come out?"
I was stunned: "You came to Jiangcheng?"
"Well, I'm at the gate of your community." Liang Sheng smiled and added in a serious manner: "I have never seen anyone bitten by a dog, so I came here to visit."
