After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone directly. If I said that I was not sad or in pain at all, it would be a lie. It also rained heavily in Jiangcheng last night, so the air today was particularly cool, with a slight fragrance, and I took a big gulp. I breathed hard and patted my chest, trying to calm my heartbeat. The violent beating almost made me burst into tears.
"Yanyan," suddenly, my grandma's voice sounded vaguely. I quickly put the phone in my pocket, turned around and walked into the living room. Grandma probably woke up from her sleep and found that I was not there. She thought I had gone somewhere, so I walked to He helped grandma up from the sofa and said, "Grandma, go to bed and sleep for a while. I'll watch TV for a while."
"Okay, okay." Grandma responded repeatedly. People tend to fall asleep when they are old. After putting her on the bed and sleeping, I tiptoed back to the bedroom. In the empty living room, only the TV was singing "I". I couldn’t understand the opera. The clock on the wall was ticking. The subtle sound was mixed in with the sound of the TV. It was also very clear. I felt empty in my heart. My feet hurt after standing for a long time. I found a small quilt. Put it on the sofa, and then lie there and continue watching grandma's opera.
I don’t know much about opera. This should be Peking Opera. I looked at the makeup that was completely different from everyday makeup. The bright colors covered the entire face, and the pink rouge and heavy makeup made each face look a bit exaggerated. I haven't touched makeup for a while. When I looked at the makeup in the Peking Opera, which was completely unrecognizable to the original appearance, I was fascinated. As for what the opera itself said, I didn't care.
The whole afternoon, I fell asleep to the sound of babbling. In my dream, I was still standing in Liang Sheng’s office, looking at the snow falling all over the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. I smiled and said to him: "It turns out that the snow scene from here is also very beautiful." beautiful."
However, it never snows in Haicheng.
"Yanyan, why are you sleeping on the sofa?" My uncle came back at some point. When he saw me sleeping on the sofa, he patted me and said.
I opened my eyes drowsily. My uncle was carrying a large bag of vegetables. A fresh live fish was still struggling in the bag. A fishy smell came to my nostrils. I covered my nose: "Uncle, what are you doing? Put the vegetables first." Put it in the kitchen, it’s so fishy.”
"Your mother called and asked me to make you some delicious tonic at night, but you still dislike it!" My uncle said with a smile and took the food to the kitchen. I heard him continue to ask : "How is Jiang Duo over there? Seeing as she is busy with work, she hasn't had much contact with her."
"It should be okay." I stood up, folded the quilt and put it away, and replied. The Peking Opera was no longer playing on the TV, but a public service announcement was playing. I looked at the sky outside and then looked at the time. Summer was getting closer and closer. It’s been getting longer and longer, and now it’s half past six and it’s not dark yet. I went to my grandma’s bedroom and took a look. Grandma was still sleeping. There was a photo of my grandpa on the bedside. She would often look at my grandpa and say something to herself. Let's talk, what can I say to the younger generation in my life? It's nothing more than care and advice. There are many things that only the companion who has lived with me for decades can say.
I looked at my grandma’s gray hair and covered her with a quilt. She didn’t like to turn on the air conditioner. She said it would make her feel stuffy after a long time, so she slept with the fan turned on. I was worried that she would catch a cold, so I slowed down the fan speed. After a while, he turned around and left.
I wanted to help in the kitchen, but my brother-in-law kicked me out. The reason why I was kicked out was: "You, like your mother, are killers in the kitchen."
The killer in the kitchen... I was really drunk. I originally wanted to learn some cooking skills so that I could be virtuous and virtuous. It seems that fate will not give me this opportunity. My dad can cook at home and is with Liang Sheng. Shi Liang Sheng knew how to cook. When I returned to my grandmother's house, my uncle also knew how to cook. So as a semi-disabled person, I had no choice but to go back to the sofa and watch TV.
After watching me, I moved to the door of the kitchen and asked my uncle who was cutting open the fish: "Uncle, tell me the truth, how did you and Jiang Duo meet?"
What can I say about my brother-in-law and Jiang Duo? They are both inappropriate at first glance. This is the impression I keep in my heart. My brother-in-law has a simple and honest personality, but it does not mean that he is not talkative and introverted, but Jiang Duo always gives me She has a very quiet feeling, but when I think about the quietness carefully, I feel that there is some deliberate alienation in it. I don't feel bad about her, but I can't figure out how I met my brother-in-law.
"That's how we met, friends." My uncle said with a smile.
"Has she told you about work recently?" I asked again. Although I was reassured that Chu Jin would not treat Jiang Duo badly, I was curious.
Speaking of this, my brother-in-law paused and sighed: "She rarely contacts me. She said she is too busy with her new job."
I was thoughtful, is Chu Jin so busy at work? I asked Xuanxuan what she did as an assistant to Chu Jin. She said it was much more leisurely than working with Liang Sheng. Chu Jin didn’t care too much, and he didn’t have much to do as an assistant. Technical The assistant may not understand this aspect.
Back in the living room, I took out my cell phone. Liang Sheng didn't call again. I felt a little disappointed in my heart. Maybe it was what he needed when I separated. I called Xuanxuan. After one ring, she was gone. After answering, Xuanxuan asked me angrily: "Yanyan, where are you?!"
"Me? I'm at home." I answered helplessly, because I suddenly remembered something. My mobile phone was installed with positioning software by Xuanxuan. It seemed that it was useless to hide it from her. Liang Sheng could find me, and she could also ask. .
"Did you quarrel with Mr. Liang? You didn't tell me when you moved, and you didn't tell me when you returned to Jiangcheng!" I ran back to Jiangcheng without telling her. She regarded me as her best friend. It was natural to be angry. I felt a little guilty and didn't want to hide it from her anymore, so I said, "Well, we are separated for now."
Xuanxuan was frightened by me, and she yelled on her mobile phone: "What? What do you mean by separation? Did you break up? Yanyan, don't be stupid, you are creating opportunities for Weilan!"
I lowered my head and patted the pillow in my arms. There was a big smiling face on it. I traced the outline and answered: "I don't know if it counts as a breakup, but... let's calm down for a while. I'm tired."
"Mr. Liang didn't try to persuade you to stay?" Xuanxuan asked in disbelief.
I was silent for a few seconds, and the fingertips tracing the smiling face suddenly became stronger, and the smiling face was dented, which looked very weird, "No." I replied.
Xuanxuan also fell silent. She was the Yuelaojia intelligence agent between Liang Sheng and I. She watched us walking along the way, but in the end it turned out like this. She didn't feel better. I forced a smile and changed the subject. : "Are you going to work today?"
"Yes, but it's almost as if I'm at work or not. What's wrong?" Xuanxuan asked.
"No, she's my brother-in-law's girlfriend. How is her work?" I asked tentatively.
Xuanxuan unexpectedly didn't answer the call. I felt a little uneasy. Jiang Duo had just gone to work not long ago. Could it be that he had caused some trouble? But why do I have no news at all
Xuanxuan said after a long time: "It's good. Chu Jin also thinks highly of her."
Why did this sound so awkward? I frowned. Xuanxuan rarely spoke so coldly. Her words must have meant something. An idea that I didn't want to believe suddenly sprouted, right
"Is she here?" I bit my lower lip and asked Xuanxuan.
"Here, she is quite leisurely, about the same as me." I heard Xuanxuan take a deep breath: "Yanyan, I'll go to your place to play in two days. It's so boring here. Chu Jin is busy, Mr. Liang is busy, Lian Qin The director is busy, and I am the only one who has a lot of free time, and it’s almost moldy.”
I responded: "Okay, come on."
After hanging up the phone, I asked my uncle where his cell phone was. He said it was on the TV cabinet. I went to get the phone and found Jiang Duo's number. The message contact between my uncle and Jiang Duo was five days ago. She said she wanted to see Jiang Duo and see me who was still in the hospital, but Jiang Duo only replied with two words: "No, I'm busy."
I looked at my uncle who was still busy in the kitchen, and the anxiety in my heart became stronger and stronger. I tried to call Jiang Duo, but she hung up. Then I sent a message: "What are you doing, Xiaoduo?"
"I'm busy, I don't have time to answer the phone right now." Soon Jiang Duo's message came back, but my face darkened. Just now Xuanxuan said that Jiang Duo was very busy, but when she arrived at my brother-in-law's place, she was so busy. I couldn't even answer the phone, and I suddenly felt that it was probably a very wrong decision for me to find a job for Jiang Duo.
