On the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Xue Nian called a few times to ask Ji Yang to go back. Yang Ying felt a little lost while listening, and took the initiative to walk aside.
When he hung up the phone, she still forced out a smile and said, "Then you go back quickly, I'm fine here by myself, if I don't want to cook, I'll just order takeaway."
"Pack up your things." Ji Yang looked at her and said.
"Huh?" Yang Ying was confused.
"Hurry up, pack up your clothes and go back with me." Ji Yang walked to the bedroom and let go to pack up.
When he finished packing up, Yang Ying still hadn't moved, and stood aside in embarrassment, "I'll just stay here by myself."
She will cause him trouble.
"Hurry up." Ji Yang's words could not be refused, "We still have to go to the supermarket, it will be late."
Yang Ying shook her head.
She doesn't want to.
"Going back to grandma, not going back." Ji Yang said again, "Grandma celebrates the New Year alone, you and I go back to accompany her, I called her just now."
"I… "
Yang Ying was entangled in every possible way, it seemed that it was not good to rush to the door like this, but in the end she couldn't hold back Ji Yang, and he led her out without giving her a chance to make a decision.
supermarket.
It was the beginning of the year, and there was a sea of people inside, and there was a long queue at the checkout place, crowded with people, and two people pushed shopping carts inside.
Girls are more careful. Now that they have decided to go, they naturally have to carefully choose the New Year's goods. It is the first time for her to visit the door.
The meaning is also extraordinary.
I heard from him that the old lady lived near their school, and the two walked into an old community, with old people playing chess and chatting beside them.
Ji Yang took her by the hand, walked around to a unit, opened the door and walked up, "This was originally Hengzhong's teacher's residence, and grandma was Hengzhong's English teacher before she retired."
Yang Ying was still quite surprised, and asked him some things.
The more you know, the less panicked you will be.
The Yang family's business started with Mr. Yang, while the Ji family is a truly scholarly family. There are several ancestors. Not only Xue Nian has traveled abroad, but even the retired old lady has gone abroad to spend her money.
At that time, it was a big family.
"Grandma." Ji Yang reached out and knocked on the door in front of a building, calling softly.
"Here we come." The old lady's voice was amiable, and there was a rustling sound. Then, the door was opened, and a Samoyed rushed out first. Yang Ying was startled, and quickly hid behind Ji Yang and stretched out her hand.
She is afraid of dogs.
Du Dong also raised one before and bit her.
"Peanut." The old lady scolded lightly, the dog wagged its tail and backed away, she looked at Yang Ying with a smile, "I'm bored living alone, Peanut is my dog, it doesn't bite, don't be afraid, Is it Yingying?"
"Hi, grandma." Yang Ying came out from behind Ji Yang, a little shy.
There is always a feeling of meeting parents.
The old lady wore a pair of glasses, and her face was wrinkled when she smiled, but she looked hale and hearty.
"Come in, I'm just about to make dumplings, and we'll have dumplings tonight." The old lady reached out to hold Yang Ying's hand.
"Yes." Yang Ying obediently followed behind.
"Can Yingying make dumplings?" the old lady asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Ying was a little embarrassed and shook her head.
Chen Xue doesn't like to eat dumplings, so their family doesn't eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, and they only eat quick-frozen dumplings if they want to.
"Grandma taught you that Yangyang didn't know how to do it before, just pack it a few more times."
"Thank you grandma."
…
The old lady lives on the seventh floor, looking out to the playground of their school, this room is a small three-bedroom one-living room, the old man should be a very clean person, the floor is clean and spotless, and the furniture is placed very neatly.
There is also a large bookshelf outside the living room, on which there are neat rows of books. Many papers have turned yellow, but they are well protected.
Yang Ying's self-esteem is getting bigger and bigger. Is Ji Yang's kindness to her a charity? Is the old lady's patience with her self-cultivation
His excellence magnifies her humbleness.
"This noodle is a bit too hard now, we need to add some water..." The old lady's gentle voice came, breaking her thoughts.
"Grandma, I'll come." She rushed to get the water bottle.
"Slow down, don't rush." The old lady smiled, and reached out to brush her drooping hair behind her ears.
Yang Ying's heart was warm, and she looked up at Ji Yang, who was chopping carrots and putting them into the stuffing.
Such a joyous appearance was something she had only dreamed of before.
family together.
Xu Shi felt his gaze, and Ji Yang also raised his eyes and took a look at her. He stretched out his finger and pointed to his cheek.
Yang Ying was puzzled, and rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand.
Got something dirty
With this rub, the corners of Ji Yang's mouth turned up, and he smiled.
Yang Ying is embarrassing.
She quickly lowered her head and speeded up the movement of kneading the dough, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat tonight.
As soon as the old lady left, Ji Yang came over, raised his hand to wipe her face with the back of his hand, and said with a light smile, "Xiaohuamao."
Yang Ying was shy and pushed him aside, afraid that the old lady would see it.
She doesn't know how to make dumpling wrappers yet, but the old lady did it. She kneaded them twice with a wooden stick, and a small ball of dough turned into a thin sheet of dumpling wrapper.
The dumplings made by Yang Ying were oddly shaped and crooked, but Ji Yang made them beautifully and skillfully.
Taking advantage of the old lady's inattention, she pinched the filled stuffing for Ji Yang, and she was responsible for filling it.
When the dumplings were in the pot, the old lady put a coin into one of the dumplings, Yang Ying was puzzled.
"Eat this dumpling with coins, the bad luck of the past year will disappear, and the new year will be happy, healthy and happy." Seeing her confused look, the old lady explained to her with a smile.
Yang Ying glanced at Ji Yang with anticipation in her eyes.
She hoped that Ji Yang would be successful, healthy and happy, and that he would be the number one scholar in the college entrance examination and go to the school of his choice.
The delicious dumplings are on the table.
Peanut wagged its tail, and looked very happy today, with a bowl of dumplings in front of it.
Everyone at the table had a glass of juice in front of them, and Yang Ying felt the long-lost Chinese New Year ritual.
In her ear was the sound of firecrackers going off outside. She heard that when Ji Han was around, their family seldom gathered together for dinner during the New Year.
The Yang family always wanted Yang Han and her to go abroad, but Chen Xue didn't want to go with them, and went back to the Chen family by herself every Chinese New Year.
At this time, quarrels were inevitable, so she hid in the room alone and cried.
Ji Yang made a dumpling for the old lady, and another for her. The topics raised on the table always avoided family and study. The place where the old lady studied abroad was where the Yang family stayed now, and there were still many common topics.
The other party is always very good at answering the conversation, not to embarrass her or let the topic die, and her nervous heart gradually relaxes.
"Hmm..." Biting off the dumpling, Yang Ying spit it out and looked at the coin in her palm, startled.
"It hurts?" The old lady heard her exclaimed, and said lovingly, "I didn't say to be careful just now, but it is also a kind of luck. In the new year, Yingying will be safe and healthy, and everything will go smoothly. "
Yang Ying looked at Ji Yang, he pursed his lips and smiled, and reached out to rub her head, which made her more shy.
Quiet Mimi looked at the old lady and saw that she had no special expression, but felt that there was nothing wrong.
Very open-minded.
After dinner, Yang Ying rushed to wash the dishes, and Ji Yang followed. When the two came out, the old lady had already covered the other two rooms with new sheets.
She handed over a red envelope, "This is from Yingying."
Yang Ying instinctively took a step back. In the past when she went back to Chen's house, Chen Xue always told her that her grandparents didn't have much money, and she couldn't accept red envelopes.
"We want to be auspicious during the Chinese New Year." The old lady took her hand, put the red envelope in her hand, and then gave the other to Ji Yang.
The other party accepted, "Thank you, grandma."
Yang Ying retracted her fingers and squeezed the red envelope tightly. Looking at the old lady, her heart warmed up, "Thank you, grandma."
"Xiaoyang has always been an obedient child. Grandma believes that his vision will never be wrong."
"It's just that you are still young, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and the days are still long, so you need to be more tolerant of each other."
…
Yang Ying walked back to the room, the old lady's words resounded in her mind, Ji Yang said that the other party would not tell Ji's father and mother that grandma was the person he trusted the most.
Those who trust her also trust her, so she should work harder to live up to the old man's trust.
After staying for three days, the two were ready to leave.
In the past three days, the old lady often took her down for a walk, or took Peanut out for a walk, for a person who was so afraid of dogs. When she left, she saw Peanut rubbing against her, knelt down and hugged it, a little bit reluctant.
The old lady is an old lady with a regular schedule. She is gentle and polite, open-minded, and likes history and culture. Nowadays, she loves to take peanuts to the provincial library, and it takes a long time to sit.
"You can often bring Yingying back for dinner, and grandma will cook for you whatever you want." The old lady urged.
Ji Yang complied and took her hand.
"Let's go down by ourselves." Yang Ying stopped the other party from sending them off, "I will come to see grandma often."
The old lady still smiled lovingly and nodded.
On the way back, the corners of Yang Ying's mouth were upturned, she couldn't stop being happy, and she became more intimate with Ji Yang, wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his shoulder.
It feels like the two are getting closer.
"In a good mood?" Ji Yang asked with his head turned sideways.
"Of course." She held her head up and smiled, "I have to do a few more test papers when I go back. Aren't you going to school soon? You must be very busy studying."
Starting from the second year of high school, every school started very early, especially in the third year of high school. I heard that there were only a few days off in total.
"There is still time to supervise and coach you." Ji Yang answered with a half-smile.
Yang Ying: "..."
All right.
It's her thinking too much.
It's a pity that Ji Yang is not a teacher, so strict and demanding.
