"Is grandma really okay?" Liu Jinpeng looked at his phone, "Are you pretending to be okay? I'm afraid Ding Ji will be difficult..."
Lin Wuyu knocked on his leg with his knee, Liu Jinpeng closed his mouth, and whispered at the beginning: "Fuck, I'm so fucking dizzy, what's this called, is this just being outspoken, Low EQ…”
- How is grandma feeling
Lin Wuyu squatted down, put an arm around Ding Ji's shoulder, and sent a message back to the aunt with the other.
-It's okay, it's better than expected, you don't have to worry, you are Lin Wuyu, right
-Yes
Lin Wuyu tilted her head and whispered in Ding Ji's ear: "Don't cry, you also know that I'm not very good at coaxing people. My sister-in-law said that grandma is in a good mood, better than expected."
"She just can't handle it." Ding Ji wiped away tears, with a thick nasal tone in his voice.
"If you're worried," Lin Wuyu said, "we'll go back now."
- What about Xiao Ji
- crying beside
Ding Ji shook his head: "later, come back at dinner time, if grandma wants to cry and think about something, she has to give her time. Once we go back, she has to pretend that nothing has happened. Tomorrow's thirty, she will I have to keep pressing, and then it's the New Year..."
"Okay," Lin Wuyu nodded, "Let's go buy some fireworks, I saw that there were still shops selling them at noon."
"Well." Ding Ji nodded and stood up.
-This kid, tell him it's all right, I'm driving, and I've been stopping by the road to chat with my grandma
- ok, thanks auntie
"How about I..." Liu Jinpeng saw that Ding Ji stopped crying and walked back, "I'll go back to the store to help feed the dog first, and then go to grandma's house?"
"Why?" Lin Wuyu looked at him, "Didn't you rest until your 30s, and only go to work on the first day of the new year."
"No," Liu Jinpeng looked at them, "Is it okay if I'm here?"
"It's okay," Ding Ji wiped twice on his face, "Let's go and buy fireworks."
"Okay," Liu Jinpeng nodded, "if you are all right, I will be fine."
Lin Wuyu handed a tissue to Ding Ji, Ding Ji took it and rubbed his face randomly, then turned to look at him: "How is it?"
"Very handsome." Lin Wuyu said.
"Hey." Liu Jinpeng sighed in front of him.
"Can you go to grandma's house for dinner tomorrow?" Ding Ji asked Lin Wuyu, "Will your parents..."
"I can go, it's fine." Lin Wuyu smiled, not to mention that he had already moved out, even if he hadn't moved out, grandma had spoken under such circumstances, and he would have gone anyway.
"What about your home? Don't care?" Ding Ji asked.
"Ouch," Liu Jinpeng turned his head and pointed at Lin Wuyu, "This person is no longer at home, and he lives in a hotel every day! Thirty meters further, it's the hotel he's staying in now!"
Ding Ji was a little surprised, and turned his head suddenly to look at Lin Wuyu.
"I won't tell you because I'm afraid you'll be worried," Liu Jinpeng said, "and if I tell you, you won't be able to help."
"This is... the talk has collapsed?" Ding Ji still looked at Lin Wuyu.
"Well," Lin Wuyu nodded, "Actually, I didn't talk much about it. I collapsed without seeing Lin Zhan, so I don't need to talk about it any more."
"After that?" Ding Ji asked.
"There's nothing left." Lin Wuyu smiled.
I don't know why, but when he said this, he didn't have any other turbulence except for the relaxed expression of embarrassment.
"Have you really cut off your relationship with your family this time?" Ding Ji confirmed again.
"Yeah." Lin Wuyu nodded.
"If that family is broken, it will be broken," Liu Jinpeng said. "If you keep following your family, you will have to break your life. Your family is really terrible, even worse than Ding Ji's family."
"My dad doesn't really care about this matter too much. His main problem is that I'm not obedient," Ding Ji said. "I just called him that day and hung up after talking. I guess he's very dissatisfied."
"I see," Liu Jinpeng said. "Actually, the two of them have studied abroad. These aspects are quite acceptable, but if you talk about being open-minded, you still have to play like a feudal patriarch. I can't figure it out."
"I don't care either," Ding Ji said. "I'm just worried about my grandparents. As long as they're all right, I don't care about anyone."
It was twenty-nine years old today, the wind was blowing, and it seemed that it would snow later. People on the street disappeared all at once, and even the car seemed to be driven away.
The shopping mall on the side of the road was still open, and the smaller supermarkets and shops were almost closed a few days ago.
The small supermarket that Lin Wuyu saw selling fireworks was opened by locals, and it is still open, but there are not too many varieties of fireworks.
"There were more varieties in the early days," said the boss, "now they are almost sold."
"Buy more," Ding Ji looked at it. "If the variety is not enough, the quantity must be increased. The small mung beans are also first-class."
"Buy them all," Lin Wuyu said, "Bao Yuaner has it."
Ding Ji turned to look at him.
"Bao Yuaner," Liu Jinpeng waved at the boss and pointed at Lin Wuyu, "Ask him for money."
"Okay, Mr. Liu." Lin Wuyu said with a smile.
"Anything to eat?" Liu Jinpeng looked at the store, "Is there anything warm?"
"Yes, next to the cashier," the boss sold all the fireworks at once, in a very happy mood, smiling like flowers, "it's all warm."
When the boss was packing fireworks, a few of them took some Mala Tang and sat at the table.
Ding Ji couldn't help it, looked at Liu Jinpeng and asked, "Do you still have a big gold chain around your neck?"
"No," Liu Jinpeng took off the leather monkey, tore off the thick scarf, and showed him his neck, "That thing is so dirty."
"You're not too foreign now," Ding Ji said, "it looks like you're wearing a big gold chain."
Lin Wuyu laughed: "The day he gave you the phone, he was frozen out of the shadows. It is estimated that he will have to cover it for a winter to get better."
"These clothes were bought by my cousin two years ago, and I took some of them home. I thought they were awesome," Liu Jinpeng said, "I just kept one, and I wanted to keep two for Ding. Ji took one, but he didn't want it."
"Is this the one you said Black Boss was wearing?" Ding Ji asked.
"Yeah," Liu Jinpeng patted the clothes, "the quality is still very good, it just feels like you're following the camera behind you when you wear it."
Lin Wuyu couldn't help but choked with laughter.
Ding Jihe also has a good time.
"Laugh, you can laugh now," Liu Jinpeng said while eating, "I can't see Ding Ji's face these days, I'll just see Lin Wuyu's face, that's enough, I see it every day. Twisting his eyebrows... This thing is contagious, you know, when I saw his eyebrows, I twisted it myself."
"Is there?" Lin Wuyu asked while smiling.
"Really," Liu Jinpeng said. "Actually, I was quite sympathetic to the two of you, so I just held back, but now let's see... it's okay, at least it's true."
"It's hard work." Lin Wuyu picked up the bowl with Mala Tang in front of him, and Ding Ji also picked it up and touched Liu Jinpeng together.
"It's not hard, it's quite fun," Liu Jinpeng said. "I was really eye-opening when I flew the drone that day. I can still play like this. I admire it."
Speaking of this, Ding Ji was also excited.
In the past two days, he has not been able to be excited, nor is he in the mood.
He said before that he told Lin Wuyu not to bring a drone over with a present on his birthday, it was too tacky and unbearable.
But he never thought that Lin Wuyu would use this method to give him the most solid backing when he least knew what to do.
When I think of this, my hair will stand upright, with excitement and warmth.
"How did you think of it?" Ding Ji asked.
"You don't need to think about it," Lin Wuyu said, "I've been playing with drones for many years, and my first choice is to use it. I don't need to think about it."
"Yes." Ding Ji looked at him with a smile.
"Eat more," Lin Wuyu said, "Have you not eaten much these days?"
"Well," Ding Ji picked up a small fish ball, "I have no appetite at all."
"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat it," Lin Wuyu said, "I don't have anything else to do anyway."
Ding Ji was amused and laughed for a long time.
If Lin Wuyu encounters something like him, it is estimated that he can directly gnaw the door without kicking the door out.
After eating, they went around the mall next door. Ding Ji felt as if he had just been released from prison. He couldn't say how relaxed he was, but he felt a lot brighter.
The three of them even got in the mood to squeeze into the children's car in the shopping mall and drove several times.
When it was almost dinner time, my sister-in-law sent a message.
- Bring some cooking wine when you come back, I don't have any at home
That's what grandma is calling them home.
"Let's go." Ding Ji looked at the phone, "Grandma asked me to bring some cooking wine. The supermarket should have it just now. I bought it and called a car to go back."
"Well." Lin Wuyu nodded.
Lin Wuyu, who had always been relaxed, started to get nervous when he walked out of the mall.
It's not like any kind of tension before.
When facing Ding Ji's parents, he was not as he is now, and he felt a little wobbly when walking.
Ding Ji went to buy cooking wine, he stood by the store door, took out his mobile phone, and called a car.
After thinking about it, I turned around and walked to the middle of the shelf. After turning around twice, I took two bottles of wine and some snacks.
"Why?" Ding Ji looked at him, "No need, it's like... what is it?"
"This is an apology," Lin Wuyu said. "Tossing grandma like this, you have to show a little bit that it has nothing to do with that."
"Okay." Ding Ji nodded, "Then you settle the bill."
"When will I pay back my money?" Lin Wuyu took out his mobile phone and scanned the code.
"Damn," Ding Ji said, "I'll pay you back in a while, if you dare not, I'll kick you."
Lin Wuyu smiled: "Then don't."
"I really owe it." Ding Ji said.
When he returned to the street downstairs from grandma's house, Lin Wuyu glanced at the window of grandma's house across the distance. Usually, when grandma knew that Ding Ji was coming back, she would lie down at the window and look down.
The windows are closed today.
... Of course, grandma didn't know when they would come back, and with such a strong wind, grandma, as an old lady with a healthy or even slightly higher IQ, theoretically wouldn't lie there and wait.
But when they were about to go downstairs, Ding Ji raised his head and glanced at it, then immediately waved his arms, and said with some distress: "The old lady is not too windy!"
Lin Wuyu quickly followed and looked up.
Grandma was already at the window.
"The timing is so accurate?" Lin Wuyu hesitated for a while, and when he saw Liu Jinpeng also started to wave, he also raised his arm and waved towards it.
"Have you bought cooking wine?" Grandma shouted.
"Bought!" The three answered neatly.
"Come up." Grandma beckoned.
"Hey!" The three answered neatly again.
He was only one floor away from his grandmother's house, and Lin Wuyu had already smelled the fragrance. He was very impressed with the dishes made by his grandmother, and he could smell it as soon as he smelled it. It was grandmother's dishes.
And he also smelled the fragrance of fried pancakes.
"Grandma is frying pancakes," he whispered.
"Your nose is fine, I can smell the stewed duck." Liu Jinpeng said.
"There must be a large table of dishes," Ding Ji ran up two steps, then slowed down again, "Definitely."
"Let's go." Lin Wuyu poked his back lightly from behind.
Ding Ji hurriedly ran up.
Grandma was still standing at the door as before. When she saw them coming up, she opened her arms and said, "Is it frozen?"
"Grandma," Ding Ji only felt a sore nose, rushed over and hugged grandma tightly, "It's not cold."
"Come in, we'll have dinner in a while," grandma patted him on the back, "don't cry, little uncle and little mung bean are here. When you cry, Dou'er will laugh at you again."
"Well." Ding Ji sniffed and smiled.
"Grandma!" Liu Jinpeng squeezed Ding Ji away and hugged his grandmother, "I smell a table of good dishes, right?"
"Do you still need to smell it?" Grandma said with a smile, "When you came to eat, Grandma only had half a table of dishes."
"I'm going to steal some food first." Liu Jinpeng said.
"Go." Grandma patted him.
When Lin Wuyu stood in front of grandma, the smile on grandma's face did not change, he raised his hand and patted his face gently: "I haven't noticed yet, this little fairy has lost a lot of weight?"
Lin Wuyu suddenly felt that he deeply realized why Ding Ji was crying on the spot on the street. He held back the sourness of his nose, hugged his grandma, and closed his eyes.
"I'm losing weight," he said. "It's too hard to be in Qiufu before, and I've gained a lot of weight."
"It doesn't look good if you are too thin," said grandma. "Eat more in a while, and you will be handsome if you have a round face."
"Well." Lin Wuyu smiled.
Grandma followed them into the house together: "There are two more dishes to eat, let's put them on the table... Xiao Ji give me the cooking wine."
"Hey." Ding Ji took out cooking wine from the shopping bag, handed it to grandma, and put the bag on the coffee table, "Here... there is wine."
There was probably a whole room full of people, but Ding Ji didn't say that Lin Wuyu bought it.
Lin Wuyu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly glanced at Liu Jinpeng again. If this person added "this was bought by Lin Wuyu", he would be a little embarrassed in this scene.
Fortunately, Liu Jinpeng's sanity has recovered, and he did not add any explanation, but just helped to take out everything.
"Can I eat it now?" The little mung bean came over, "and MM beans, my favorite!"
"Aren't you going to eat?" Ding Ji said.
"Can a few beans still occupy the space for rice?" said the little mung bean.
Lin Wuyu smiled, his aunt and uncle looked as usual, and he looked at his grandfather again.
Grandpa sat on his exclusive throne sofa with a tea tray in front of him, and waved at him with a smile: "Come have a cup of tea and warm up."
Lin Wuyu walked over and sat down beside his grandfather.
Ding Ji turned his head and glanced at him, he and Ding Ji exchanged a blank look, neither of them knew what they wanted to express, nor what the other party wanted to express.
"Come on," Grandpa poured him a cup of tea, "It's windy outside."
"It might be snowing later." Lin Wuyu took the cup and drank slowly.
"Yeah, it's better to stay at home at this time," Grandpa nodded, and after drinking a sip of tea, he whispered, "It's alright, don't worry, it's alright."
"Well." Lin Wuyu smiled, and his heart dropped.
"After drinking tea, go to the kitchen to help grandma serve the dishes," said grandpa. "The table is almost ready to eat."
"Okay." Lin Wuyu responded.
After drinking tea, he got up and went into the kitchen.
"How did you get in?" said Grandma. "Get out."
"I'll help," Lin Wuyu said, "let's do something."
"Don't help," said grandma. "When I was cleaning the house two days ago, my uncle still found some dried cucumbers on the top that you photographed last time."
Lin Wuyu couldn't help laughing: "How is that possible!"
"It's impossible," said Grandma, "I'm terrifying you."
"Then I'll wait for the dishes." Lin Wuyu said.
"Stand on the side, don't let your oil break down for a while," Grandma gave him a place next to the refrigerator, "Stand there."
"Yeah." Lin Wuyu stood over and watched her grandmother stir fry the dishes in the pot neatly.
He was still a little nervous, the dishes in the pot were very fragrant, but he didn't even see what it was.
"That card..." Grandma turned her head suddenly.
Lin Wuyu took a deep breath and stood up straight: "Huh?"
"Did you engrave the engraving?" Grandma asked. "Is that the kind of engraving made to order?"
"...Well," Lin Wuyu didn't know what grandma wanted to say, but he answered truthfully, "I made the entire brand and cut it with a laser."
"Yo," Grandma flipped through the dishes, a little surprised, "then you have a good skill."
"What I'm learning now, the details are actually not very good, it's okay if you don't look carefully." Lin Wuyu still stood up straight.
"Is it difficult?" Grandma asked again.
"It's not too difficult," Lin Wuyu said, "I'm a novice, and after a few hours of doing it, it's pretty quick if I'm proficient."
"So are you skilled now?" Grandma continued to ask.
Lin Wuyu suddenly understood what grandma meant: "Grandma, do you want to be one?"
"It's not that I want to make one," said Grandma, "you make one for me."
Although he thought it was a bit miraculous for an old lady to hang a non-mainstream dog tag around her neck, he nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll make one for you."
"I don't need a chain, can I make a keychain?" Grandma asked, "I also engraved on it."
"Can do it," Lin Wuyu walked over to grandma and handed her a plate, "What characters are you engraving?"
"Beautiful sheep." Grandma said.
"... What?" Lin Wuyu was stunned.
"Didn't you see Pleasant Goat?" Grandma looked at him.
"I... know." Lin Wuyu said.
"It's the beautiful sheep over there," said grandma. "Oh, I like the beautiful sheep."
"Ah?" Lin Wuyu felt a little lost, "... oh."
