Chapter 3: She's Back

When I walked to the ward, through the glass of the door, I saw my dad and the old man eating, while my mom stood by and watched them quietly.

For a second, I could almost confirm that my father and the old man were almost carved out of the same mold, and I don't know if I will look the same as these two old men when I get old.

I couldn't help but sneer to myself, it was ridiculous to have such a idea.

I gently pushed open the door and walked in, the old man was the first to notice me, he squinted his eyes, and said to me very kindly, "Xiuwen, you are here." Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat, how do you feel today. "I walked over and sat next to my grandfather's hospital bed.

"I'm glad to see you. Good spirits. ”

"Haha. My parents also laughed along with my grandfather's words, and I laughed too, but when I saw this emaciated and thin man in front of me, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart.

As we spoke, the door was pushed open. A woman in a coffee-colored sweatshirt and denim trousers walked in.

This woman's appearance is no less than Su Yi, with two beautiful dimples looming on her cheeks when she laughs, her face is bright and radiant, she is a very beautiful and attractive woman, she is Mo Zhenzhen.

She walked in with a basket of fruit, looked at us and smiled. I'm a little confused, didn't she say she wouldn't come back last night?

Before we could speak, she spoke first: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

She paused, and her eyes became worried again when she looked at the old man.

"It's not too late, grandpa is very happy to see you. ”

Mo Zhenzhen didn't look at me from beginning to end, she put down the fruit and walked to the old man's side.

"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I had something to do last night, so I couldn't come to see grandpa in the first place. He looked at my parents with shame.

I was at a loss, and I remembered her attitude towards me last night, but at this point I was more afraid that she would tell my family that we had broken up, and I just looked at her with trepidation.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about, Auntie doesn't know how happy she is, I haven't seen you for more than a year. ”

At this time, my dad also interjected: "Yes, we are very happy that you came back to see grandpa." ”

I kept my eyes on her, for fear that she would tell me about her.

"It's all because Xiuwen, when he came back, he thought I was slow, and he didn't wait for me. She glared at me viciously.

When her eyes met mine, I hurriedly turned my head, and I picked up the dishes and chopsticks: "When you finish eating, I'll take it outside and wash it." As he spoke, he was about to go out.

"No need, I'll go home now, let me take it home and wash it. Saying that, my dad snatched the lunch box from my hand and said to Zhenzhen, "You guys are here to talk to grandpa." ”

"Yes, uncle. ”

After saying that, my dad took the lunch box and walked out.

Just as my dad was gone, the door opened again.

A strong woman in the workplace stood in front of us with a bouquet of flowers and a bag of fruits, such a confident standing posture and such a moving face, who else could it be if it wasn't Su Yi.

Su Yi looked at me, then at Mo Zhenzhen, looked at us strangely, as if she understood something, smiled and said, "Zhenzhen, you are also there." ”

"Well, it's Su Yi. ”

My mother was very enthusiastic, and stretched out her hand to take the fruits and flowers from Su Yi's hand: "It's that Miss Su just now, thank you for coming to see Xiuwen's grandfather." ”

"You're welcome aunt, Xiuwen and I are good friends. ”

The old man smiled kindly: "Thank you, Miss Su." ”

"Yes, Grandpa. Su Yi looked at us and said, "I still have some things, I have to go first, grandpa, you have to be healthy, let Xiuwen do any rough and heavy work." After saying that, he looked at me proudly again.

I smiled wryly and shook my head helplessly. After Su Yi left, her mother said that she was going to see her off. So now only me, Mo Zhenzhen and the old man are together.

The old man held my and Mo Zhenzhen's hands tightly together, and then said to us: "Xiuwen, since your grandmother left, grandpa, I have no regrets, and my biggest wish is to hope that you and Zhenzhen can get married as soon as possible, so that even if grandpa is under Jiuquan, you can feel at ease." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, you will live a long life. "My eyes were moist.

Mo Zhenzhen didn't let go of my hand, but the strength of her grip on my hand increased a little.

"Yes, grandpa, you are such a good person, you will definitely be fine. Mo Zhenzhen seemed to be touched in her heart, and tears unconsciously slipped down her eyes.

"I know my own body, and you don't need to say anything. The old man let go of our hands as he spoke, and said to me again, "Xiuwen, go and bring my coat." ”

I took out the black coat from the old man's suitcase, only to find that he had been wearing it for years, and he had it for as long as I can remember, and I don't know how many years he had worn it.

Seeing this coat, I was inexplicably sad, I came out to work for three years, and I didn't buy a decent dress for the old man. However, Zhenzhen will buy a decent dress for the old man every New Year's holiday, but I have never had it.

Every time Zhenzhen gave my grandfather clothes, she would say that I bought them, but I didn't actually buy them.

The old man slowly took out a red passbook from a hidden pocket of his coat and handed it to Mo Zhenzhen's hand: "Zhenzhen, this is the life savings of grandparents, there are 300,000 in it, you take it." ”

Mo Zhenzhen shook her head and said to the old man with a crying voice: "Grandpa, I can't ask for it." ”

"You take it, Xiuwen, this kid spends a lot of money, so I can only hand it over to you. With this money, you should be able to pay a down payment if you sell the house in your hometown, buy a house quickly, and get married as soon as possible. ”

Mo Zhenzhen kept shaking her head and refused, I was afraid that there would be other clues, so I hurriedly took the passbook: "Don't worry, old man." ”

Mo Zhenzhen glared at me fiercely again, and said to the old man: "But you are in such a state now, it takes a lot of money, and we will solve the affairs of the two of us ourselves, and besides, we are all out to work now." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Girl, don't worry, there is still money for treatment, you can rest assured! As long as you are good, grandpa is happier than anyone else, happier than anyone else." ”

"But. Mo Zhenzhen stopped talking, looking at the old man with red eyes.

"Okay, you two go out first, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while. After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for us to leave.

After covering him with the quilt, Mo Zhenzhen and I walked out of the hospital, and my mother also returned to the hospital.

Mo Zhenzhen and I walked side by side on the street, watching the cars come and go, I felt like I was back in my student days, when we often walked side by side, I held her hand, and she jumped up and smirked in front of me. But now, everything has changed.

When we walked to a no-man's corner, Mo Zhenzhen suddenly hugged me tightly, and then leaned on my shoulder and cried bitterly, and I also cried under her infection, just like that, the two of us hugged each other tightly like two children and cried bitterly.

"You said that grandpa is such a good person, how can he just, God is so unfair to him, woo woo.." Mo Zhenzhen leaned on my shoulder and sobbed.

Although I was not as excited as her crying, my tears were also there, and I couldn't stop it.

"Don't worry, I'm sure the old man will be fine. I patted her on the back.

She nodded slightly.

Half a year later, we hugged each other again, and the body temperature on her body and mine were rapidly exchanging.

Maybe it's because I've been separated for too long, or maybe it's because my grandfather's illness has infected me, I'm very attached to her hug now, and I hug her tightly, hoping that time can be frozen at this moment.

Maybe I hugged me too hard, Mo Zhenzhen pushed me out of her arms hard.

I looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, but you have to remember that I didn't come to see your grandfather today, but for your grandfather. It has nothing to do with you. ”

"I know. ”

"I'm leaving, you better tell your family about us as soon as possible. I can't keep pretending like this, I have my own life to live. ”

"Well, will you still come to see the old man?" I pleaded.

Mo Zhenzhen turned around and turned her back to me, as if she was wiping her tears there: "I took three days off, and I will come to see grandpa these days." But about us, I hope you will confess to your family as soon as possible. ”

"I understand, but I have to thank you today. ”

"Don't be polite to me, your grandfather is very good to me, in my mind, I have long regarded your grandfather as my own grandfather. ”

Mo Zhenzhen's words are indeed sincere, at least one person's body movements and tears are difficult to pretend, unless she is an actor. But Mo Zhenzhen is not.

I nodded silently.

"I'll go first. ”

Mo Zhenzhen walked to the other side of the street without looking back, and I saw her take out the key, get into an A6, and drive away in front of me.

I can't help but wonder in my heart, the conditions in her family are actually similar to mine, they are all relatively low-class, and her brother is still a mother's boy, 33 years old without a serious job, lazy to do, lived for more than 30 years and never even had a girlfriend, and did nothing all day.

Over the years, her salary has basically been sent to her family, and she has not kept much. But now she can't afford this car, with her family conditions and financial ability. I smiled wryly, I didn't want to think about her anymore.

I clenched the passbook that the old man had given me in my pocket, and a wave of sadness welled up in my heart.

Over the years, the old man has worried about me a lot, but what about me, have I really cared about him? Maybe human nature is cheap, and he always has to wait until he is almost lost to cherish it, and then he will feel precious.

But I was worried about how to tell my family about me and Mo Zhenzhen, paper can't contain fire, and they will always know about it, so I must solve it as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, I lit a cigarette and squatted in the corner and smoked slowly.
