Ma Yangyang was chatting enthusiastically with Xie Tian, but there was a bit of embarrassment in the kitchen.
Grandma Ma specially called Li Shiqin in, but neither of them knew what to say.
While Grandma Ma was cutting the meat, she frequently looked back at Li Shiqin, but she hesitated to speak. Li Shiqin was afraid that she would accidentally cut her hand, so she stopped peeling the beans and said, "Mom, I'll cut it."
Grandma Ma put down the knife, looked at her and asked, "If Yangyang isn't here, just tell mom the truth."
After all, the old lady had been eating too much salt for decades. Li Shiqin couldn't stand it when she stared at her like this. The words rolled around in her throat, and finally said: "Mom, for me, there is only Yangyang." And you are the most important thing.”
The old lady turned around and took back the kitchen knife. After cutting the shredded meat, she began to mince the minced meat, making a rhythmic thumping sound, hitting Li Shiqin's heart every time.
"You are confused." Grandma Ma said after a while, "The most important thing to you is us, and the most important thing to us is you. You will only make us feel like a drag on you."
"Mom, how could you think so?" Li Shiqin asked anxiously.
"Siyuan left early. It was my selfish acquiescence in Yangyang Nao. I have wronged you all these years..." Grandma Ma tapped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. Li Shiqin felt sad and said quickly: "Mom, you have always been here. Help me persuade Yangyang, I know everything, it is my decision to do this now. "
"Wait until I finish speaking," Grandma Ma clapped her hand and said with a smile: "When your parents came to make trouble, I knew I had done something wrong, but Yangyang was too young and I couldn't bear to wrong him. Later, I feel embarrassed to tell you this. If you find a suitable partner now, feel free to go there. Your happiness is also the happiness of me and Yangyang. "
Li Shiqin knew that Grandma Ma took it seriously. To be honest, that person was indeed chasing her and he was not bad, but she didn't think about it at all. Firstly, Ma Yangyang is not yet an adult and is about to take the college entrance examination. She does not want to distract Ma Yangyang. Secondly, if she remarries, who will take care of Ma Yangyang or Grandma Ma? Marriage is a matter for the two families. She has too much to worry about, so her thoughts are even less focused.
Li Shiqin sighed and said, "Yangyang is about to take the college entrance examination. I don't want to think about these things."
The college entrance examination is a major event for children, so Grandma Ma stopped trying. She just said, "Yangyang's grades are pretty stable. Don't be too restrictive. You should try what you should try."
Li Shiqin relented and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's wait until Yangyang's college entrance examination is over."
I originally thought that this matter would be over, but Ma Yangyang brought it up again during the meal, and Li Shiqin had to fight with him: "You kid, don't worry about adults' affairs, study hard, you know?"
Ma Yangyang bit into the meatballs and said with a smile: "I study hard every day. Mom, are you being shy?"
Grandma Ma looked at Li Shiqin's slightly embarrassed look, patted Ma Yangyang and feigned anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you talk to your mother like this?"
Ma Yangyang replied with a smile: "If she's not shy, why doesn't she answer directly?"
Li Shiqin was helpless: "Why didn't I give a direct answer? I've said it a hundred times and it doesn't matter."
Ma Yangyang put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Mom, I will take the college entrance examination soon, and then I may go to college elsewhere. Who will take care of you then?"
Li Shiqin laughed angrily and said, "You are taking care of us now?"
Ma Yangyang coughed, puffed up his chest and said, "Of course, I am the man in the family."
Grandma Ma's eyes stopped laughing as she echoed: "Yes, yes, our little man."
Li Shiqin was speechless. When Ma Yangyang saw that she couldn't stand up to him, he continued to use his strength, "Think about it, if you find me a stepfather, won't there be help at home to change the light bulbs and repair the toilet?" "
Li Shiqin was even more speechless, "You can also find a maintenance man for what you said."
Ma Yangyang shook his head, "Can maintenance workers be on call 24 hours a day? Besides, in the future, grandma can also work as a coolie when she goes to buy vegetables and rice."
Grandma Ma saw that the more they talked, the less serious they were, so she patted Ma Yangyang again and said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense and eat well. The dishes are already cold."
**
After dinner, Ma Yangyang sent another message to Xie Tian, "Let me tell you, there must be something wrong between my mother and that uncle today. I'll bet you a quicksand bag."
But Xie Tian never replied. Recently, Ma Yangyang and he often exchanged messages. Xie Tian was sometimes slow to reply, but even if it was just a "hmm", he never failed to reply.
Ma Yangyang thought that there might be something he hadn't seen, so he decided to make a paper first, but after finishing the paper, he didn't reply yet.
Ma Yangyang couldn't help but send another message: "I just took a test paper, and there is a question that I don't know well. Please teach me how to do it."
As a result, Xie Tian still didn't reply. Ma Yangyang saw that it was late and went to take a shower. When he came back from the shower, there were new messages on his phone, but none of them were from Xie Tian.
Ma Yangyang rolled on the bed and sent another message: "Xie Tian, are you asleep?"
The news naturally fell into the dark. This was so abnormal that Ma Yangyang couldn't help but worry. He couldn't stop thinking about it, but he couldn't imagine what could happen to Xie Tian at home. Later, he fell asleep in a daze. But I had a nightmare all night.
The next day, Ma Yangyang went to school with dark circles under his eyes. He went early and Xie Tian hadn't come yet.
After wiping their tables and wiping the window sill, Xie Tian arrived. He didn't look much different from before, and he smiled softly when his eyes met with Ma Yangyang's. Ma Yangyang felt relieved and tidied up his textbooks shyly.
Xie Tian's face turned cold the moment he lowered his head.
Xie Tian sat down on his desk, and Ma Yangyang asked with a smile: "Have you had breakfast? Did you see the message I sent you last night?"
When Xie Tian faced Ma Yangyang, his expression was okay. He shook his head and said, "My phone broke? What did you send?"
It turned out that the reason why he didn't reply to his message was because his phone was broken. The little depression in Ma Yangyang's heart was gone. He was embarrassed to say that he had been worried all night, so he could only say: "I won't ask you to teach me if there is a question." Teach me."
Xie Tian said oh and asked him to come up with the question.
"Don't worry, have you had breakfast?"
Xie Tian basically listened to Ma Yangyang's advice and had breakfast recently, but he really didn't remember to eat it today, and even if he remembered, he couldn't eat it.
When Ma Yangyang saw him like this, he knew that he hadn't eaten, and he didn't like to talk to him anymore. He reached into his schoolbag and took out a box of milk and two small packets of small twists and handed them to him, "Let's take a cushion first, and then go eat after studying in the morning. "
Xie Tian stared at the thing he handed over for a while, and Ma Yangyang raised his hand before taking it, nodded, and then said: "No, I'll bring it for you." Biscuits, just eat some biscuits.”
Ma Yangyang frowned: "The biscuits are snack food. They are eaten for fun. How can they be eaten for breakfast? It is not good for the stomach."
However, Xie Tian felt warm in his heart by his endless chatter. Many people eat biscuits for breakfast. If others can eat him, why can't Xie Tian? But with this anxious look of concern for him, he just wanted Xie Tian to agree to anything.
Maybe he, Xie Tian, was dispensable in the eyes of the whole world, but the boy in front of him regarded him as a treasure.
Xie Tian's heart softened when he thought of this, and he chuckled and promised him to have breakfast later, and Ma Yangyang smiled happily.
After morning self-study, Ma Yangyang personally pushed Xie Tian to the cafeteria. He couldn't stand the temptation and had another meal. When he was full, he felt happy and he was happy all morning.
The teacher dragged him down to the small hall after school at noon. Wang Yuelei ran over as soon as the get out of class was over and yelled at Ma Yangyang to hurry up. Ma Yangyang and Xie Tian didn't go well together, so they only walked together occasionally, usually with Wang Yuelei walked together.
Ma Yangyang responded to Wang Yuelei and said to Xie Tian, "Then I'll leave first."
Xie Tian nodded and then said, "Are you coming at the usual time at noon? Let's go buy some food for Pupu?"
Ma Yangyang naturally agreed happily, and then followed Wang Yuelei happily.
I went to the garage and took out the car. There were several circles of people inside and outside the school gate. Wang Yuelei liked to join in the fun, so he pushed the car past. Because there were too many people and I couldn't squeeze in, I grabbed a classmate and asked what was going on inside. The classmate said that he didn't know. I heard that Xie Tian had killed someone before and someone came to the door.
Ma Yangyang didn't want to join in the fun, but when he heard Xie Tian's name, his mind exploded. He shouted at the student who was talking, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Then he threw his car away and squeezed into the crowd. The student just said aggrievedly, "It wasn't me who said that. I just repeated what I heard."
Wang Yuelei had no choice but to apologize to others while helping Ma Yangyang throw down the car. He pushed both cars against the wall and locked them, and hurriedly tried to squeeze in to find Ma Yangyang.
