Grandma unexpectedly did not ask about He Feimo. It seemed that nothing that happened during the meal had ever happened. She sat there watching TV and chatted with me word by word. Grandma seemed to like Peking Opera very much. She took the trouble to tell me Explaining the plot of Peking Opera on TV.
"Yanyan, do you still have contact with Liang Sheng?" While chatting, grandma suddenly asked about Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng's face clearly appeared in my mind, with a slightly mean smile and a clean shirt. Because of work, Liang Sheng always wore a shirt or suit, neat and clean. He stood in my memory. , looking at me with a smile, as if ready to walk out and appear in front of me at any time.
In the past two days, there has been no news from Liang Sheng. I replied to my grandmother: "We should not contact him again soon."
The painful feeling when I think about it will fade away with time. I am ready to face this long transformation.
"Your father is particularly opposed to it. Yan Yan, Liang Sheng is a good kid, but you can think more about your father's words," grandma said nonchalantly. She held my hand. There was something about the rough palm that made me nostalgic. warmth.
I echoed my grandma's words. I couldn't tell whether I was really listening or just didn't want to disappoint my grandma. My uncle interjected: "Let relationships take their own course. It's not easy to find the right person for you, but don't force it if you don't have fate."
I didn't expect that my uncle could say such a thing. It makes sense. If you have a chance, cherish it, but if you don't have a chance, give it up. But, can my uncle do the same? I looked at my uncle's smiling face, but I felt uncomfortable in my heart. Jiang Duo's matter must be clarified tonight, and I can't let my uncle be kept in the dark.
The three of us were chatting together when my dad suddenly called me. My dad rarely calls me when he has nothing to do. This time he called and chatted with me for a while. I could tell that his voice was a little tired.
"Dad, do you have something to tell me?" I asked.
"Alas..." My dad sighed deeply, as if he was filled with sadness, "Yanyan, please call your mother sometime and try to persuade her."
I was a little unclear on what my dad meant, so my dad continued: "Your mom has been feeling bloated recently, and her feet were swollen after she came back yesterday. I asked her to go to the hospital for a check-up, but she refused to go."
My dad's words made me a little uneasy. My mom is usually in good health. It's rare to see her have any health conditions. How could she be swollen? And he refused to go to the hospital.
This is very abnormal. My mother is a person who pays great attention to health. Although she doesn’t like to go to the hospital, she usually pays attention to health care. Even if she is busy at work, she has never relaxed about her health. She should not be willing to live or die knowingly that she is not feeling well. She was willing to go to the hospital. I said to my dad, "I'll call her later."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately called my mother. My grandma and uncle didn't understand what I meant by what I just said, but seeing that I looked bad, they both became serious and looked at me nervously.
My mother didn't answer the phone and hung up. Soon a text message was sent over. She said she was in a meeting and would call me later. I held the phone and waited uneasily. She was in her forties or fifties and was in poor health. If some problems are not treated as soon as possible, the consequences will be bad.
Grandma asked: "What's wrong? Yanyan, is there something wrong with your mother?"
Grandma’s eyes were full of anxiety. My mother is her daughter. As a mother, she has some natural intuition. I worried about my grandmother, so I pretended to be relaxed and nodded: "Yes, she and my father were arguing at home about who should wash the dishes. .”
"This girl!" After listening to my words, grandma's eyes gradually dissipated the anxiety, and she muttered deliberately, but I felt very heavy.
After a while, my mother's call came back. I hid in my room to answer it. My mother's hearty voice rang over there: "Yanyan, why are you calling me? I was just in a meeting."
"Mom," I said in a serious tone. I had no intention of joking with her, but my mother didn't notice my seriousness. She smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"Dad just called me. Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up? If you feel unwell, you need to be treated as soon as possible!" I said angrily, for fear that something would happen to her.
My mother said: "You are here to call me too. How can you not know how I am doing? You should rest well at grandma's place and stop worrying so much."
"How can you not worry, Mom, go to the hospital for a check-up. If there is a problem, we can know about it and treat it early." I persuaded patiently. If something goes wrong with my mother, then this family will be broken.
My mother seemed to have something to hide. She didn't say anything for a moment. It wasn't until I called her again that she slowly said, "Yanyan, my mother knows her body well and everything will be fine."
Someone was calling "Mr. Zhang" over there. I heard my mother say "Here you come" and hung up the phone. I knew she was going to be busy again, so I thought I'd call her again in the evening when she was free.
"Yanyan, the day after tomorrow is your birthday. If you want a gift, tell my uncle." My uncle knocked on my door and asked. I sorted out my confused mood, thought about it, and shook my head: " There’s nothing I want, I just need my uncle to cook me a table of good food.”
"That's no problem at all!" My uncle responded with a smile. He said, "I'll go out for a walk and bring back some food for lunch later. Your grandma may be sleeping, so you can help her then."
I nodded. My uncle is very filial to my grandma and takes good care of me. For this, I am even very grateful to my uncle. He is still young, but in order to take care of my grandma, he has been staying in Jiangcheng to save my mom and dad. a lot of concerns.
My uncle went out, so I went to the living room to accompany my grandma. As expected, grandma soon became sleepy. After I helped her to the bedroom to sleep, I received a call from Xuanxuan. She said she was downstairs and asked me to pick her up. .
I hurried downstairs, and sure enough I saw Xuanxuan carrying big and small bags. She was wearing sunglasses. When she saw me, she opened her arms to hug me and shouted happily: "Dear Xiaoyanyan, I'm here! !”
This girl is so fast, she comes right away. I asked her how she found my address, and she said she got the information from the company's human resources department. I really admire her. The last time I saw Xuanxuan, she was in the hospital. , I felt like I hadn’t been with her for a long time, and my mood suddenly became brighter. I reached out to pick up her bag, but she walked around and said, "Your feet haven't fully recovered yet, so I'll do it."
I clapped my hands: "Okay, then you can carry it. I don't feel bad anyway. Are you the only one here?"
Chu Jin didn't come? I felt that if Xuanxuan wanted to come to my place to play for a few days, it would be impossible for Chu Jin not to send her here. When Xuanxuan heard my words, she was slightly startled: "Then who else should be there?"
I intuitively felt that there must be something wrong between Xuanxuan and Chu Jin, and it was no longer the fault of Chu Jin’s parents. I didn’t continue to ask, and took Xuanxuan back home. The house was quiet, and Xuanxuan asked cautiously: “No one is there. ?"
"Grandma is sleeping, and my uncle is out." I responded.
Xuanxuan took off her sunglasses and walked to the sofa to sit down. Only then did I realize that her eyes were red, as if she had cried.
Xuanxuan rubbed her eyes, trying to hide her embarrassment. I sat next to her and asked her face, "What's wrong with you?"
"Yanyan..." Xuanxuan suddenly hugged me and started sobbing. She cried very sadly and depressed. I kept patting her back to comfort her. She didn't speak, just cried. I didn't press her. What happened? I'll ask again after she's finished venting her emotions.
After crying for a while, Xuanxuan's mood gradually stabilized. I wiped her tears with a tissue. She choked and said, "Yanyan, Chu Jin and I had a quarrel. The quarrel was very serious. I can stay with you during this time." ?"
Xuanxuan can only come to me. She will not go to her father when she is wronged. She can only come to me. I hugged her heartily. Compared with Xuanxuan, at least I have no love and family affection. There is still a home to return to, but she is different.
"Yes, you can stay as long as you want." I asked softly, "But what happened between you and Chu Jin? Why did you quarrel?"
I have never seen Xuanxuan and Chu Jin have such a big conflict.
"Yesterday Chu Jin said he would work overtime, so I went back first, but then I saw him and Jiang Duo picking out jewelry together on the pedestrian street, so I questioned him and he said I didn't believe him, so we started to quarrel." Xuanxuan explain.
