I met Cao Jiaying at Mr. Yu's house.

When we returned to Zhanjiang and went to the ferry, it was already evening.

As soon as we got off the speedboat, Uncle Xian greeted us.

Looking at Uncle Xian's reaction, I guessed that Yu Minghui probably just told the family that he would take me home, and he didn't tell the family about Xiao Gray Gray, so when I asked Xiao Gray to call Uncle Xian Grandpa Xian, Uncle Xian couldn't hide his surprise.

However, it can be seen that Uncle Xian likes Little Gray very much, a well-behaved child with a good talent for language, and he is driving slowly while teasing Little Gray without stopping.

When Uncle Xian stopped the car in the courtyard and we got out of the car, I had to sigh at the power of the creator of time, those thin little trees I saw four years ago are now towering and dense, and the shadows of the trees are swaying under the faint light, making this huge courtyard more full of life.

However, unlike last time, after Uncle Xian got out of the car, he squatted down and touched Little Gray's nose, and said, "Little Gray Gray, wait here first, Grandpa Xian will come and pick you up later." ”

Even if Uncle Xian didn't tell me directly, let's wait a minute, I immediately understood what he meant, I immediately took Xiao Ash's hand, and secretly stabbed Yu Minghui, I said, "I'll wait for Uncle Xian's notice and go in." ”

Yu Minghui strode forward, he said in Cantonese as he walked: "Lin Sisi, I feel like I've done something stupid, I have a brain twitch for a while, I didn't tell the old man about Xiao Ash in advance, I have to go and talk to him first, so that he won't talk nonsense and scare Xiao Ash." ”

When the huge courtyard was left with me and Little Gray Gray, Little Gray looked up at me blankly, and said, "Mom, didn't Dad Yu say to take us out to play?

I squatted down and touched my little gray face, and I said, "It's fun here, too." Little Gray Gray, you're going to see an old man in a minute, and you'll have to call him Grandpa, you know?"

As long as there is me in the place, even if Little Gray Gray is occasionally at a loss, but he will quickly find a sense of security, he nodded heavily, and he said, "Okay, Little Gray is good." ”

I stroked his hair and whispered, "Little Gray is really a good boy from Mommy." ”

As soon as my words fell, a rush of footsteps sounded, and I followed the sound to look over, only to see Old Man Yu walking towards this side with a cane. And Uncle Xian and Yu Minghui, following him, were stunned that they couldn't keep up with his speed.

He quickly stood in front of me and Ash.

He glanced at me, and then locked all his eyes on Ash's body, who was a little shy and hid from me.

I straightened Ash's body a bit, and I said, "Ash, call Grandpa." ”

Little Gray is sensible after all, no matter how shy and scared he is, he still looks at Old Man Yu and says sweetly: "Grandpa is good." ”

Old Man Yu still put all his eyes on the little gray gray, a smile appeared on his face, his voice was unprecedentedly gentle and loving, he said, "Tell grandpa what your name is, okay?"

Little Gray Ash twisted his fingers and said timidly: "The big name is Lynn, and the small life is called Little Gray Ash." Grandpa, what about you, what's your name?"

Little Gray Gray Child, he is childish, he will ask what Old Man Yu's name is, it is not surprising at all, what surprised me is that Old Man Yu immediately laughed from ear to ear, he said: "Little Gray Gray, grandpa's name is Yu Tuqing, remember?"

Little Ash nodded quickly.

Old Man Yu immediately turned around and said to Uncle Xian: "It's printed in the same mold as Minghui when he was a child, isn't it! ”

My whole person is not good.

If the little gray gray really looked so similar to Yu Minghui when he was a child, then Yu Minghui was still entangled in a wool at the beginning, and he also tested me with a wool! I finally understood what it meant to call the elders to look at the baby, and they praised each other.

However, seeing that Old Man Yu was so happy with the existence of Little Ash, the worries and worries in my heart dissipated a lot.

And Old Man Yu, he turned around, and he suddenly said to me in a familiar tone that I was very uncomfortable with: "Four, come and come, come and sit at home." Bring Ash to the house. ”

Although I was a little unwell, it was better to be popular than to be coldly spoken, so I smiled at Old Man Yu and said, "Thank you." “

Then I took Ash by the hand and followed them down the hall.

As we approached the couch, I saw a face that had been absent for four years.

Cao Jiaying has lost a lot of weight, her cheeks that used to bulge like buns have flattened a lot, her forehead bones on both sides are a little taller, and her dressing style is no longer as tender and spicy as before, but a particularly orthodox casual wear.

When our eyes met, I don't know if it was my delusion, I felt Cao Jiaying smile at me.

It's just an illusion, and it's enough to make me feel creepy, I hurriedly retract my gaze, and subconsciously hold the little gray hand tighter.

And Mr. Yu, he was so enthusiastic that I was at a loss, he walked in front, he gestured and said, and said to me: "Sisi, take the child to sit here, come, sit here." ”

I sat down according to Old Man Yu's instructions, and sat beside me with the little gray in my arms.

Yu Minghui also walked over, and he sat down next to Little Ash.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent for more than ten seconds.

At this moment, Cao Jiaying had an interested expression, and put all her eyes on Xiao Ash's body, staring at it all the time.

Little Gray naturally felt Cao Jiaying's gaze, he followed Cao Jiaying's gaze and looked over, it was so well-behaved that I didn't know what to say, Little Gray Gray smiled brightly at Cao Jiaying, and he said, "Auntie is good." ”

Cao Jiaying was stunned for a moment, she barely squeezed out a smile, she didn't speak.

And Old Man Yu, he first said to Uncle Xian: "You go and urge the aunt who cooks, put your hands and feet faster, the children are hungry." ”

Uncle Xian nodded hurriedly and walked quickly.

Old Man Yu adjusted his sitting posture, he put the crutches aside, he stretched out his hand towards Little Gray Gray, and said, "Little Gray Gray, come to Grandpa, okay?"

Little Gray hesitated for a moment, but he finally replied softly: "Okay." ”

Yu Minghui took a hand, and he directly hugged the little gray ash to Old Man Yu's side.

At this moment, Cao Jiaying glanced at me, she said coldly, "Lin Sisi, it's still early to leave for dinner anyway, let's go out for a walk and catch up on the old days?"

I opened my mouth and was about to speak, but Yu Minghui, who was sitting next to me, said quickly: "Lin Sisi, she is not going, she is tired all day, she needs to rest." ”

Cao Jiaying smiled, she didn't respond to Yu Minghui's words, but continued to stubbornly rush at me, meaningful: "Lin Sisi, you taught Little Gray Ash so well." ”

After leaving this sentence, she said, "Go out for a walk?"

Although I can't figure out Cao Jiaying's mind for the time being, the way she stared at Xiao Gray just now made me very uncomfortable and a little uneasy, and the motherhood of protecting the calf made me decide to go out for a walk with her. So I still pretended to be relaxed with Yu Minghui and said, "You take care of the little gray gray, I really want to go out for a walk." ”

After speaking, I stood up and signaled to Old Man Yu, and then walked out slowly and kept up with Cao Jiaying's pace.

We walked through the courtyard with the shadows of the trees, and out of the gate, Cao Jiaying walked towards the beach along the dim street lamp, she took out a box of cigarettes from her pocket as she walked, she took out one and put it in her mouth, she handed me the open cigarette case, and asked, "Do you smoke?"

I shook my head and said I didn't smoke, Cao Jiaying didn't say anything more, she stuffed the cigarette case into her pocket, and instantly lit the cigarette and swallowed the clouds in front of me.

As if on purpose, when Cao Jiaying was spitting out a big smoke ring, she leaned into my face, and I was caught off guard, and the smoke hit my nose, and I was choked and coughed.

Cao Jiaying grinned, she said, "Lin Sisi, you are really useless, you are really annoying to watch." ”

I took a step back and distanced myself from Cao Jiaying. I didn't want to waste time on guessing and tempting, so I thought about it, and I said, "Cao Jiaying, if you have anything to do with me, just say it directly." ”

Cao Jiaying took off the cigarette she had smoked a few puffs and threw it on the ground, she stepped on it again, she squinted her eyes at me, and after a while she said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you to do me a small favor." ”

I thought there was something wrong with my ears, and Cao Jiaying wanted me to help?

Just when I questioned my ears, Cao Jiaying said again: "Lin Sisi, give me a simple word, do you help, or don't you help?"

I saw that her expression was serious, not like a joke, although I was a little baffled, but I still followed her words and said, "What can I help you?"

Cao Jiaying squinted her eyes for a while, and she said slowly: "I want to go to work in Quncheng, can you help me open this mouth to Yu Minghui?"

Even if I really prove it to Yu Minghui, in Gongyangong, as the director of Quncheng's foreign trade sales department, I take care of my own work, and I have no right to interfere in Quncheng's employment.

What's more, Cao Jiaying and I are not very familiar with each other, in other words, the messy account between me and her, even if I take a calculator and ask me to calculate it with her on the spot, I can't figure it out. It's just that time flies and takes away a lot of things, we all have completely different life experiences and vicissitudes of life, and I don't have the strength or impulse to settle accounts with her, but this doesn't mean that I can laugh at the grudge between her and her.

So, no matter what her purpose was when she wanted to go to work in Quncheng, why did she let me open this mouth, and why did she ask me to help her?

My brows furrowed, but I didn't bother to talk to Cao Jiaying about my inner thoughts, but I turned to Cao Jiaying's eyes and said, "Give me a reason to help you." ”
