Chapter 209: Repression
In the few days of the New Year, Song Yu played with Song Ting at Song Mian's house, and only went to the cemetery together on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It's been an extraordinarily quiet year.
Song Yu returned home the morning before work, and the home was still deserted. Her mobile phone hasn't rang for the past few days, and it rang at noon as soon as she started sorting out her old things.
The call turned out to be from Tang Lan.
Song Yu didn't expect Tang Lan to call her, but she still picked it up quickly and called her aunt.
Tang Lan on the other end of the phone spoke softly, and asked, "Are you free today?" I haven't seen you for a while, let's come out for a cup of coffee." ”
She called her on point, not just for coffee, of course.
Song Yu did not refuse, and responded with a good word.
The place where the two met was near Song Yu's rented house, which was Tang Landing's place. She should already know that she and Tang Xu are separated.
Tang Lan should have been nearby when she called her, and she had already arrived when she arrived. When he saw her, he waved to her.
Song Yu walked over quickly and called his aunt.
Tang Lan smiled slightly, motioned for her to sit down, called the waiter to order her a cup of coffee, and then asked, "You're going to work soon, right?"
"Go to work tomorrow. Song Yu replied.
Tang Lan nodded, took out a red envelope and pushed it in front of Song Yu, and said with a smile: "I'm not here for the New Year, this is a New Year's red envelope." ”
Song Yu didn't expect that she would give her a red envelope, and she was about to refuse. But before the words could be spoken, Tang Lan pretended to be serious and said: "Keep it, it's New Year's money." I'm an elder, and this should be given. I've given it to everyone. ”
Song Yutui couldn't refuse, so he had to put it away. thanked Tang Lan.
Seeing that she put it away, Tang Lan's face showed a smile and asked, "How was the New Year?"
Song Yu replied at this time, okay.
She originally thought that Tang Lan had something to do when she asked her to come out, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't even mention Tang Xulai.
Just sitting and drinking a cup of coffee, Song Yucai opened his mouth and asked, "Aunt asked me to come out...... Something's wrong?"
Tang Lan didn't know how to be a little distracted, and after a while, he picked up the coffee in front of him, smiled, and said, "It's okay, I suddenly want to find you to come out and sit down." ”
There was a faint tiredness between her eyebrows, and she didn't know if she hadn't rested well or what.
She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. I just called the waiter and refilled another cup of coffee.
Before he finished drinking a cup of coffee this time, Tang Lan's mobile phone rang. She took out her phone and glanced at it, frowned, picked up the phone and fed it.
I didn't know what to say on the other end of the phone, her face changed, and she immediately got up and walked outside. Even forgot to put aside the coat and car keys.
When she saw it like this, she knew that there was an emergency, so Song Yu grabbed her coat and chased her out.
When she chased her outside, Tang Lan had already finished answering the phone, and she glanced back at Song Yu who was holding her clothes, and she was a little panicked for a while.
Song Yu had never seen Tang Lan like this, so he couldn't help but slow down, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong, auntie?"
Tang Lan's face was full of exhaustion, she reached out and pressed her eyebrows, and after a moment's relief, she said, "The old lady is not very good, I have to go back immediately." She knew that she was not in a good state, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "You can go too." ”
She and Tang Xu have not officially divorced, the old lady is not good, and she should pass it with reason.
Song Yu responded with a hello and said, "I'll drive." ”
Tang Lan is not suitable for driving now. She nodded, and the two of them walked together to the parking lot.
The atmosphere in the car was solemn, and neither of them spoke along the way. Song wanted to ask the old lady about her physical condition, but seeing that Tang Lan was silent, he still didn't ask anything.
When the two arrived, the Tang family's old house was already brightly lit, and when the car drove in, someone greeted them, and when they saw Tang Lan, they said, "The old lady has been talking about wanting to see you." ”
Tang Lan had calmed down at this moment, nodded and entered the old mansion.
The old lady was not very good, I thought everyone was already there. But no, only Tang's mother is at home.
Seeing that Tang Lan was obviously relieved, she stepped forward and said, "The doctor is in the room now." ”
Tang Lan hummed and entered the old lady's room.
The door to the room was quickly slammed shut, and silence fell in the living room.
The old mansion was very depressed, and Tang's mother didn't know if she was in a trance or something, so she looked at Song Yu who came with her after a while, and said, "Come here." ”
Her tone was unusually gentle. A well-maintained face seems to have grown many wrinkles in a short period of time.
She was tired, and after a pause, she continued, "Come and sit." ”
As she spoke, she walked over to the couch.
Song Yu was going to follow, hesitated slightly, poured a cup of hot tea first, and then went to the sofa.
The old lady should be very bad, all the subordinates in the old mansion are busy. The huge living room is even more empty.
Tang's mother drank half a cup of hot tea, and her face was slightly better. She looked at Song Yu and said, "Grandma is not very good, don't leave here tonight." After a slight pause, she continued: "Your sister-in-law should not come back until tomorrow, and there will be guests later, you can take care of it." ”
Song Yu responded with a hello.
Tang's mother didn't speak again, closed her eyes and recuperated.
The old lady was indeed very bad, and it didn't take long for Song Yu and Tang's mother to stay in the living room before the doctor came out of the room. Tang's mother immediately stood up and walked over.
The doctor's face was not very good, and he said without waiting for Tang's mother to speak, "I'm sorry......"
He was the old lady's exclusive doctor, and although he only said sorry, Tang's mother already understood what he meant.
She cheered up and said to Song Yu, "Take Doctor Li to rest first." ”
She quickly calmed down, and at this time she was methodical, and called her aunt and instructed: "Call the young master and let them come back as soon as possible." ”
Song Yu quickly took the doctor down and served tea.
Dr. Li was polite, knowing that the Tang family had a lot of affairs at this time, he didn't let her accompany her, and let her be busy with her.
Song Yu is not like Wen Yi who can arrange everything properly, she doesn't know what to do, she can only help out when she sees something.
It was rare for Tang's mother not to pick any more thorns today, telling her what to do, and who to ask if she didn't understand.
Tang Yao and Tang Xu were the first to come back, and both of them were dusty. When he came in, he learned that the old lady was asleep and did not bother, but sat down in the living room.
Tang Xu was not surprised that Song Yuzai was there, and he didn't look at her, and after sitting down, he smoked one cigarette after another.
Tang Yao usually rarely smokes, but now he also smoked.
No one spoke, and the living room was almost suffocatingly quiet. Song Yu returned to the kitchen after serving two cups of tea.
Tang Yao and Tang Xu hurried back without eating, and later the aunt served the noodles, but neither of them moved, and the noodles were served back as they were.
Tang's father came back in the early hours of the morning, and the old lady who had been asleep when he came back also woke up. Tang Lan came out and called him in.
I don't know what the old lady said, Father Tang didn't come out until ten minutes later. He said to the people who were guarding the living room, "Go and rest, just me and your aunt to keep watch." ”
The old lady had just been staying up for a long time, and now she was unconscious again. There's no need to stay all around.
He looked around the living room as he spoke, and then said to Tang Yao, "Call the second child to come back." After a slight pause, he continued, "Bring An Anning Ning back as well." ”
After Father Tang finished his order, he went back to the old lady's room.
The people in the living room didn't move for a while, but Tang's mother glanced at Tang Xu and Song Yu and said, "You two should also go and rest." ”
She said and went upstairs first.
The expression on Tang Xu's face was cold, and he glanced at Song Yu at this time and said, "Go and rest." ”
He asked her to rest, and he didn't mean to rest.
Song Yu didn't say anything at this time, and after greeting Tang Yao, he also went upstairs.
There are so many people here, but it's terrifyingly deserted. After returning to her room, she washed up briefly and collapsed on the bed.
My nerves have been tense since the afternoon, and I still haven't been able to relax. She stared at the pitch-black ceiling with her eyes open.
Tang Xu didn't come into the room until dawn, Song Yu woke up from drowsiness, and woke up when he heard the sound of the door opening. Originally, he thought that Tang Xu would go to bed, but he didn't, he sat down on the sofa.
He didn't smoke either, just sat there until it was dark outside, and then he opened the door and went out.
Song Yu barely slept all night, and got up after Tang Xu left.
She thought that Tang Xu had gone downstairs, but when she went out, she found that he was actually standing at the top of the stairs. He must have heard her footsteps, but he didn't look back.
Song Yu walked over, followed his line of sight, and saw Tang Chengen in the living room at a glance.
Tang Xu's eyes were indifferent, and only then did he turn his head sideways to look at Song Yu, and then went downstairs.
Tang Chengen didn't know when he came over, but he looked in good spirits. He didn't react much when he saw Tang Xu and Song Yu going downstairs, and he withdrew his gaze with just a glance.
The corners of Tang Xu's lips hooked, and he didn't let Song Yu go to the living room, and said lightly: "Go and make a cup of coffee." ”
After giving the order, he went straight to the living room.
Song Yu walked to the kitchen.
The morning was still oppressive, and the old lady was still asleep after waking up a little last night. Although Auntie made breakfast, everyone had no appetite.
Later, Xue Zhaoying brought two children over, I don't know if it was because they didn't come over for a long time or because the atmosphere was too depressing, the two children didn't speak, and they kept being close to Xue Zhaoying.
The old lady woke up at noon, Tang Lan had been in the old lady's room, and after the old lady woke up, she opened the door, looked around the living room, and then her eyes fell on Tang Chengen's family, and said, "Bring the child over to show the old lady." ”
As soon as her words fell, Tang Chengen and Xue Zhaoying got up and took the two children into the room.
Tang Lan didn't go in again, just stood by the window on the side.
She must have also slept all night, haggard and tired.
Song Yu brewed a cup of coffee and brought it over, but before she could speak, she turned around, nodded at her, took the coffee, and said thank you.
Her voice was a little hoarse, and Song wanted to comfort something, but couldn't find anything to comfort her.
However, Tang Lan squeezed out a smile at her after taking a few sips of coffee and said, "I'm fine." After a slight pause, she continued, "There comes a day when people get old. ”
Her voice was tired, with some vicissitudes.
The two were silent for a moment, and after a while, she said thank you again.
Tang Chengen's family didn't stay in the old lady's room for a short time, but they came out in five minutes.
Xue Zhaoying and the two children went back to the living room, Tang Chengen's footsteps paused, his eyes swept over Tang Lan and Song Yu, and said, "Grandma let the younger sister and the third brother in." ”
Tang Xu was still on the other side of the living room at this time, and when he heard this, he walked over to this side. and Song Yu entered the room together.
Probably because of the return to light, the old lady looked in good spirits. Father Tang was supporting her on the side.
Her face was full of love, her eyes fell on Tang Xu and Song Yu, and said: "Ah Yu is a good boy, Ah Xu, you must treat Ah Yu well." ”
She spoke very slowly, and took a few breaths as she spoke.
Tang Xu stepped forward and walked to the bed, grabbed the old lady's dry hand, and said in a low voice, "Okay." You need to be nice too. ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Grandma is old and useless." She gasped for breath and continued, "Grandma's biggest regret is that she didn't see your child born. ”
There was infinite regret in her tone.
Tang Xu held her hand tightly and said, "You will definitely be fine." ”
The old lady shook her head, reached out and gently touched his head, and sighed, "How can you still look like a child? If you live any longer, you will become an old goblin. She paused at this point, and then said, "Grandma, I'm sorry for you...... Grandma never complained about you and me. ”
She said as if she remembered something.
Tang Xu didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "It's me who is wrong." ”
The old lady came back to her senses and waved her hand, intending to say something, but she didn't say anything after a while. His eyes fell on Song Yu again, and he said lovingly: "Ah Yu, you and Ah Xu must be well." As long as the two of you are well, grandma can rest assured that she can close her eyes. You are a good boy, and Ah Xu is also a good boy. ”
She chattered, didn't wait for Song Yu to speak, and then said: "You go out first, grandma has something to say to Ah Xu." ”
Song Yu responded with a hello and came out of the room.
The door to the room was soon shut, and she knew that this might be the last time she would see the old lady, and her heart was very empty.
Depressed, she didn't go back to the living room, but walked to the corridor next to her, and stood in front of the window.
The old lady didn't know what Tang Xu was talking about in the room, and she didn't come out.
Song Yu stood in front of the window for a while, and was about to go to the living room when Xue Zhaoying walked over.
The two children didn't know where they had gone, she came alone. Seeing that Song Yu didn't speak, she looked in the direction of the room where the old lady was, and then said, "Is it only my younger brother and sister who came out alone?"
The expression on her face was cold. In fact, she has always been cold today, and she is not as delicate as she used to be.
Song Yu nodded.
Xue Zhaoying didn't speak, walked over and leaned against the window, then looked at Song Yu and asked, "What did grandma say to her younger siblings?"
She seemed to just ask casually.
Song Yu looked out of the gloomy window and said, "I didn't say anything." ”
The corners of Xue Zhaoying's mouth hooked, and said, "What didn't you say, are you afraid that I know?"
Her tone was aggressive, and she didn't know how to change her face in an instant.
Song Yu didn't know what she was smoking, and said, "I'm not afraid that my second sister-in-law will know." ”
Xue Zhaoying laughed and said, "Really?" After a slight pause, she looked in the direction of the old lady's room and said, "Grandma likes her younger siblings a lot." ”
She didn't know what she wanted to do like this, Song Yu didn't answer her words, and asked, "Does the second sister-in-law think that grandma doesn't like you?"
Xue Zhaoying probably didn't expect her to ask such a question, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a while. After a while, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you like me or not." ”
She didn't know how to start.
Song Yu didn't stay any longer, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Wen Yi had already come back at this time, and when he saw Song Yu, he poured her a cup of coffee first, and asked, "Are you tired?"
She rushed back overnight, and although she was wearing makeup, she was still haggard and cyan under her eyes.
Song Yu said that it was okay now. There was nothing going on in the kitchen now, and she said, "Sister-in-law, go and rest first." I'm here here. ”
Wen Yi shook his head and said that it was okay.
The two didn't speak for a while, and after a while, she asked, "Is grandma okay?"
She had just returned, and she hadn't seen the old lady yet.
Song Yu shook his head at this time and said, "It's not good." ”
The two of them didn't talk anymore.
The kitchen was very quiet for a while, and Song Yu wanted to find something to say, but he couldn't find anything to say.
Instead, Wen Yi took a sip of coffee and asked, "When did they come over?"
She said and looked into the living room.
Although she didn't say it, Song Yu also knew that she was referring to Tang Chengen's family.
She said now that Tang Chengen should have come in the early morning, and Xue Zhaoying only came in the morning with the two children.
Wen Yi nodded and didn't speak again. Looking at the living room, I don't know what I'm thinking.
The old lady didn't know what Tang Xu said, and Tang Xu stayed in the room for half an hour before coming out. The expression on his face was still faint, and he couldn't see anything.
However, Tang Chengen's face was very bad, he had always been gloomy and compassionate, and he didn't even show a smile when the child called him.
