After hanging up the phone, Tang Bingyao sat at the table subconsciously, and lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.
So the table seemed a little quiet.
And after a while, the gentle and kind voice of grandma rang from the opposite side:
"Candy?"
After being called like this, Tang Bingyao finally recovered, and then raised her head in a panic:
"Um?"
Grandma Tangtang, who was sitting opposite, looked at her granddaughter with some concern:
"What's wrong?"
Tang Bingyao was slightly startled, then shook her head vigorously: "No, it's fine."
Although she said this, the girl's tone was obviously a bit inappropriate. This change in mood was naturally hidden from the grandma who had been dependent on each other for many years. The old man looked at his granddaughter and said gently:
"Is it a phone call from a classmate?"
Tang Bingyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly:
"Um."
Grandma Tang laughed: "Boy?"
Her little face turned red, but Tang Bingyao nodded in recognition, and then quickly added: "It's my classmate."
But it seems a bit superfluous to say such words, and it makes people feel the guilty conscience in the girl's tone.
Grandma Tang didn't care, she thought about it and seemed to recall something, and then her eyes brightened:
"It's... the boy named Lin Feng that you often mentioned before, right?"
"… Um."
Grandma Tang asked, "Did he call you for anything?"
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Bingyao replied in a low voice, "He invited me to eat hot pot at their house. He didn't go home for the Chinese New Year this year, he spent it here in Shanghai."
Grandma Tang nodded understandingly, looking at her granddaughter with a kind and gentle smile on her face:
"The classmates have invited you to celebrate the New Year together. Our family Tangtang has made many good friends in school now."
"Then... why didn't you agree?"
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips, and then shook her head firmly and determinedly:
"not going."
"I'll spend the New Year with my grandma."
Grandma Tang was silent for a while, and looked at her granddaughter with a little more tenderness and compassion. She could feel that her granddaughter wanted to go. It was probably because of this incident that she was absent-minded during the meal, but...
Children are too sensible.
There is only one old man at home. If Tangtang leaves to eat hot pot with her classmates and friends during the Chinese New Year, she will be the only one left at home. For Tangtang, who has always been extremely sensible and filial, she is naturally unwilling to do so. see.
So even if she "wronged" herself, even if she had to sacrifice her own happiness, she would not let her, a grandmother, stand alone and stay at home for the New Year.
The old man sighed in his heart.
But as a grandma, she didn't want her precious granddaughter to be dragged down by an old lady like her.
Thinking like this, Grandma Tang still had a gentle smile on her face, but suddenly changed the topic:
"Candy?"
"Um."
"How about that little boy named Lin Feng?"
"Uh, uh?"
I didn't expect grandma to suddenly ask such a question. Tang Bingyao, who was a little caught off guard by the question, raised her head suddenly, blinked her big eyes and looked at grandma a little stupidly, her mind didn't react at all.
What is... Fuko, how is it
But Grandma Tang is still smiling:
"I often hear you mention this boy's name. Your relationship is very good, right?"
Tang Bingyao replied subconsciously, "Oh... it's okay."
There was an unconcealed guilt in his voice.
Grandma Tang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed: "There are not many boys who can make Tangtang talk so often in our family. How is it, does he like you?"
"what-"
Tang Bingyao finally couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, her face flushed red:
"grandmother!"
But at this time, the old man seemed to suddenly have a rare curiosity about gossip, breaking the casserole and asking to the end:
"Or... our family Tangtang has fallen in love with someone?"
A small face almost flushed with shame, Tang Bingyao shook her head like a rattle in panic:
"No no!"
"No! It's just a friend!"
Seeing that her granddaughter's face was flushed with fever, she finally smiled and didn't ask any further questions on this issue, and turned the topic back again:
"Since a friend with such a good relationship has invited you as a guest, it would be a bit rude not to go—"
Tang Bingyao was suddenly stunned, and she raised her head ignorantly to look at the kind and gentle smiling grandma, and finally understood the real intention of the joking words of grandma just now.
Then she still insisted on shaking her head: "No, I want to accompany you, grandma..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Grandma Tang with a smile: "What do you do with me as an old man? You have grown up, you can't always spend time with grandma, it's rare to have met some good friends at school, and also The more you spend with them, the happier you will be.”
Tang Bingyao shook her head stubbornly:
"don't want."
"I'll be with my grandma today."
Grandma Tang looked at Tang Bingyao gently: "Do you really want to go?"
Tang Bingyao subconsciously wanted to say "yes", but when she met her grandmother's gentle gaze, she couldn't help but pause when the words came to her mouth.
"Yes... a little thought."
Hearing her granddaughter's sincere words, Grandma Tang didn't get angry at all, but smiled with relief:
"Then go."
"I have let you accompany me, an old man, all day. You are busy with everything. Other people's children are having a good time during the New Year. If grandma still ties you at this time, then It's not right to be a grandma."
"Go, have a good time with your classmates and friends."
Tang Bingyao still had the last hesitation and struggle: "But... then grandma, you... "
Grandma Tang smiled and shook her head: "Grandma, what can I do at night as an old man, I'm getting old and tired after eating, so I have to go back to my room early to rest, there's nothing to worry about - just remember to bring your keys when you go out later. …”
Speaking of which the old man seemed to think of something, he suddenly added:
"Oh, yes, if it's too late tonight, it's better to trouble someone or stay at a friend's house. It's not safe for a girl to come back too late - you also spent the night at those classmates and friends' houses before, right?"
Although the old man is old, he is especially enlightened in this kind of thing.
It's just that Grandma Tang didn't forget to instruct Tangtang more in the end:
"But Tangtang, grandma still wants to remind you."
"It's a good thing for girls to have someone they like."
"But you are still young, so some boundaries between men and women still need to be guarded first, you know?"
At this time, Tang Bingyao had already been blushed by her grandmother's words, and couldn't help stomping her feet shyly:
"grandmother!"
Of course, even though she was so blushing that her face felt like she was about to have a fever, Tang Bingyao's mood at this time suddenly became extremely light and cheerful.
This New Year’s Eve…
It will be different from previous years!
…
At Lin Feng and Su Xue's home, Lin Feng, who hung up the phone in front of him, was somewhat regretful:
"Tangtang doesn't seem to be coming."
An Xin looked at Lin Feng: "What, is there something wrong with Tangtang's family?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Oh yes, it seems that she wants to accompany her grandma."
At this time, Su Xue had almost finished her work from the kitchen, and came over while unbuttoning her apron, with an understanding look on her face:
"Tangtang is only her and her grandmother at home now, right?"
"That's really understandable. She is so sensible and filial, and it's normal for the elderly to worry about being alone."
An Xin shook her head slightly and said softly:
"But... New Year's Eve is spent at home with grandma like this, and it's a bit deserted."
Lin Feng sighed: "There's no way to do that."
The old fans and friends in the live broadcast room looked even more gloomy and mournful:
"Ah, our Tangtang can't come!"
"I feel sorry for Tangtang!"
"My heart hurts! Where does Tangtang live, I want to send warmth to the door!"
"Warm Tangtang's lonely heart with the love of our sugar party!"
And at this moment, Lin Feng's cell phone suddenly rang again.
At first glance, the call was from Tang Bingyao.
Things seem to be turning around
Lin Feng was instantly refreshed, and quickly picked up the phone:
"Hello, Tangtang?"
The girl's shy and excited voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Fengzi."
"I can come here."
"almost there!"
Because the speakerphone was on, the girl's voice came out of the microphone, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.
The next moment, the live broadcast room was full of joy and excitement!
