Chapter 17: Late Night Silence

The feast dispersed and the guests left.

Only the family and a few close classmates were left to say goodbye to each other, and the newlyweds who had just tied the knot also said goodbye to their relatives and friends one by one.

"Isn't there a three-day holiday? Why are you in such a hurry to leave at night?"

"There's no way, I have a project at hand in a hurry, and the boss said that I will be given a make-up leave later. ”

When Xiang Yang said this, the corner of his eye just caught the meaningful look handed over by Ning Xuanxuan on the side. Looking at each other, Xiang Yang smiled, took Ning Xuanxuan's hand, and said, "Put it on our honeymoon." The implication seemed to explain: I can't tell my brothers that we only took one day off.

"That's okay. ”

"However, you boy also owe us this time, and we all got ready for a fun game, and as a result, your pigeon killed our brother. ”

"Haha, next time, next time. Xiang Yang rubbed his hands and smiled a little awkwardly.

"What, don't blame the brothers for not reminding you, your wife is right next to you, and she speaks carefully. ”

"Yes, yes, the brothers are right, we are like this, we have arranged a wedding banquet on both sides, and in a few months, it will be held in my father-in-law's hometown. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"Then next time, we may not see each other, it's not appropriate to make trouble at your father-in-law's house, we don't know each other well. ”

"Look at what you said, ignore the bride, Mrs. Xiang is right next to you, and we have to ask for her opinion. ”

"Reason, reason. The classmate smiled and nodded at Ning Xuanxuan with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, don't be restrained, everyone is a good friend, Xiang Yang often talks to me about you, saying that you have a very iron relationship," Ning Xuanxuan smiled, stretched out her hand politely, and said, "Welcome to Hangzhou." ”

"With the bride's words, we must prepare more red envelopes at that time. ”

"Okay, I don't have too many packs. Xiang Yang joked with a smile.

"You kid, don't get too carried away, we haven't gotten married yet, and we're going to be old by then." ”

Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then pointed at his classmates and laughed, "You are so beautiful!"

Ning Xuanxuan smiled slightly, politely and embarrassed,

"There are not many red envelopes, but the friendship between your classmates. She was so tired and sleepy that she secretly hoped that this group of Rory's chattering people would end the topic soon.

"It's still the bride who can talk, we're abrupt. The classmate patted Xiang Yang's shoulder and said reluctantly, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back, see you next time, remember to contact at any time." ”

Xiang Yang waved his hand, "Okay, contact me at any time, then I won't send it." We also have to get ready to go, and we have to go to work tomorrow. ”

"Well, say hello to our uncles and aunts, let's go first. ”

"It's okay, stay safe on the road. ”

After waving goodbye to his classmates, Xiang Yang led Ning Xuanxuan and turned around to go to the banquet hall, and just walked to the door of the banquet hall, he happened to bump into Xiang Yang's grandmother.

"Why don't you stay two more days. ”

The old grandmother touched tears in the corners of her eyes, reluctant to give up, and her calloused hands carried a lot of food, which she asked Ning Xuanxuan to take back to Hangzhou.

"Grandma, we'll be back in two days. ”

Even if it is a comfort against her heart, it is also true, she is not reluctant to give up her grandmother, in this "new home", only grandma loves her with her heart, I want to be more like Xiangyang's grandmother than her grandmother who will only educate herself to do housework since she was a child.

Ning Xuanxuan's father is the only seedling in the family for several generations, except for his father, there are only two aunts. Grandma was a strong person, and in that era, she had a very stubborn old mentality, patriarchal.

Because of grandma's patriarchal thinking, the two aunts married away from home and rarely interacted, and later, the cousins were born one after another, and the originally estranged relationship became more delicate, and now unless something big happens, the two aunts rarely come to visit her grandmother.

In her generation, although it coincided with the family planning policy of vigorously promoting the only child with fewer births and eugenics, because she was a girl, her grandmother insisted that her parents have another grandchild, so her grandmother took her with her since she was a child, saying that she wanted her parents to concentrate on giving her a younger brother, and later, her parents could not resist the pressure of the old man and gave birth to her younger brother.

She thought that the birth of her younger brother only took away part of the love of her parents, but she didn't expect her grandmother to educate her according to the old-fashioned way of educating her aunts, so that she could be a "little mother" from an early age and take care of her younger brother.

When I was in elementary school, I was often asked to take care of my six-year-old brother first thing after school, and then I could do my homework, wash the dishes after finishing my homework, and do laundry and cook on weekends.

Grandma often warned her that girls should not eat leftovers, and that they would marry people with pockmarked faces when they grew up, and that girls should learn to do housework from an early age, be virtuous, and be virtuous, and be good at running the family, so that they can live a happy life when they marry into their husband's family in the future.

Because of this, she always shows people with a cold face, for fear that others will find out about her past, but after wearing a mask for a long time, she doesn't know that she will believe it is true, and sometimes it will hurt others.

The cold mask made her persist for twenty-seven years, and it was not until she met Xiang Yang that her heart slowly melted, and then she was fortunate enough to meet Xiang Yang's grandmother, and she learned to let go of her disguise.

In contrast, Xiang Yang's grandmother was reluctant to do anything for her, and always taught Xiang Yang not to be as lazy as before marriage, and to shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the house.

Every time she thinks of this, she is even more reluctant to leave Xiangyang's grandmother, and can only comfort her grandmother like a child.

"Well, remember to come back more often. ”

The old grandmother sighed deeply, knowing in her heart that this sentence was just to amuse her and comfort her, but thinking of the children's intentions, a kind smile appeared between her eyebrows.

"Take these, take them back and put them in the refrigerator," the old woman handed the bag to Ning Xuanxuan, and explained: "These are fresh, not packed leftovers." ”

"Okay, thank you grandma. Ning Xuanxuan took the things in her hand and gently hooked the old grandmother in her arms by the way.

"Silly child, how can you still say these two words to your grandmother, in the future, the little couple will live a life, and they must learn to accommodate each other, and they can't quarrel and hurt each other over trivial matters. ”

After the old grandmother finished speaking, she glanced up at Xiang Yang and said, "Yang Zai, you must always remember that you are a man and a husband, you must be responsible, you can't live like your parents, you have quarreled for a lifetime, what's the point?"

Xiang Yang nodded and looked at Ning Xuanxuan again, the warmth in the corners of his eyes was like a silent oath: Don't worry, I won't!

"It's getting late, so go back early. The old grandmother waved her hand and said, "Mom and Dad are busy in the room, you go and say hello, and by the way, think about if there is anything you forgot to bring, such as candy and cigarettes for your colleagues." ”

"Yes. ”

Xiang Yang took Ning Xuanxuan to say goodbye to her family one by one, took the gifts that her parents had prepared a long time ago, and drove away with Xingyue.
