Chapter 170: The Twenty-Seventh of the Lunar Month
As soon as Lin Jiaming left, Lu Haowan rushed upstairs to Lu Feng's room and asked him why he was like this.
"There's no why, it's okay for you to be friends, but not for lovers!" Lu Feng sat on the sofa with a straight face and said coldly.
"Why not?" Lu Haowan asked angrily.
"There's no why, it's just not good!" Lu Feng still didn't have the slightest intention of giving in, and let Lu Haowan be hysterical.
And Jin Shutong stood at the door, calmly watching the almost quarrelsome conversation between Lu Haowan's father and daughter, and had no intention of standing on one side.
The quarrel lasted for more than 10 minutes, and Lu Haowan didn't know from Lu Feng the reason why he objected to being with Lin Jiaming, he only had one sentence, that is, no! The angry Lu Haowan slammed the door and went back to his room to lie on the bed and cry. Lin Jiaming naturally didn't know all this.
Coming out of Lu Haowan's house, Lin Jiaming drove the car and got on the highway again, but fortunately, the original goose feather snow was much smaller during the meal time, and the speed limit was only taken at the highway, and the closure was lifted. So when Lin Jiaming arrived home, he was only a little later than usual.
Because he didn't call his grandmother beforehand, when Lin Jiaming appeared at the door of the house, his grandmother looked at him a little stunned.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Lin Jiaming shouted.
The mother-in-law and grandson looked at each other for a long time, and the grandmother realized that the person standing at the door was Lin Jiaming.
"Oh~ It's Jiaming! I didn't recognize it! Why don't you call back in advance? Hungry, I'll cook......" Grandma stood up tremblingly, ready to get the pot.
"No, I've eaten it!" Lin Jiaming put down the fruits, supplements and a box of instant noodles in his hand, pulled a bench and sat down by the fire.
"Grandma, these are bought for you, you remember to eat them!"
"You kid, why are you buying things again, didn't you say that you want to save some flowers?" Although her grandmother complained a little, Lin Jiaming could still feel that she was actually very happy.
"Grandma, what dishes are you going to cook for the New Year? Tell me, I'll clean it up later......"
"Don't worry, it's only twenty-seven today, and there are still a day or two~"
"I'll clean it up today, you're so good at cooking during the New Year, I have to go back to X City tomorrow, and I won't be back until the New Year is over!"
"Oh~so busy~" Grandma was a little depressed.
Outside, the snow was much lighter, but it didn't stop. When the snow on the bamboo leaves is too much for the bamboo branches to bear, it falls "with a bang", causing a small avalanche between the branches and leaves.
And the silence in the room just made Lin Jiaming really hear the sound of this delicate rope. The roots of the dead old trees in the fire lit orange-red flames, which kept beating, causing the shadows on the wall of Lin Jiaming and his grandmother to also beat.
Looking at his grandmother's aging body and hands full of cracked wounds, Lin Jiaming felt guilty, in the past few years, he studied and worked abroad, and did not come back to accompany her and take care of her, and now he suddenly came back to tell her that he could not accompany her in the Chinese New Year's Eve, you can imagine how uncomfortable her grandmother should be.
"Grandma ......" was silent for a long time, and Lin Jiaming finally spoke first.
"If you're busy, go get busy, I can do it by myself!" Before Lin Jiaming finished speaking, his grandmother spoke.
For a while, Lin Jiamingleng didn't know how to speak. After pondering for a while, Lin Jiaming decided to tell his grandmother the truth.
"Grandma, listen to me, I won't come back for the New Year because of Aunt Zhao. She is not in good health, she can barely move now, and she can't take care of her during the New Year, so after discussing it with Wan'er, I decided to accompany Aunt Zhao to spend the New Year......"
"What's wrong with you Aunt Zhao?" As soon as Lin Jiaming heard that Aunt Zhao's physical condition was not good, her grandmother hurriedly asked.
"Hey...... It's hard to say, the doctor said, it's estimated that it's only been a month or two......" Lin Jiaming sighed.
"Oh my God~ She also said to come to me, and in a few days in the countryside! Why is it so sudden, I can't even walk the road~ This person, who can say clearly~"
Before I knew it, the room was darker again, and the orange light from the fire became brighter.
"Huh~" The sound from the fire was like a small wind blowing out of the roots of an old tree.
"Huoxiao, there are guests coming~" Grandma said lightly.
"Then you won't be alone! What are they going to do for the Chinese New Year?" Lin Jiaming wanted to explain to his grandmother that the so-called "fire laughter" was just an air leak from the firewood, but after thinking about it, it was really not necessary, and this explanation was more humane.
"I said I would go to their house in the morning, and come up in the afternoon!" When my grandmother saw that there was only red charcoal left at the root of the tree in the center of the fire, she knocked down the red-hot charcoal with tongs and put it in a broken jar, and pushed the roots forward, and the flame was bigger again. After the charcoal knocked down is extinguished and cooled in the jar due to lack of oxygen, it can be sold for money, more than a pound per piece.
"That's good, then I'll be back on the first day of the new year!" Lin Jiaming said as he lifted down the hot water kettle on the fire and simmered by the fire.
"You're back, what should you do Aunt Zhao? Who will take care of her?" Grandma looked at Lin Jiaming and asked.
"I discussed with Wan'er, and after the New Year, I will find her a nanny to take care of her. ”
"I can't find it on the first day of junior high school!"
"It's okay, I still have friends over there, let them help take care of it for a day or two, no problem!" Lin Jiaming said affirmatively.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Grandma, what did you eat in the morning?" Lin Jiaming thought about changing the topic, maybe grandma wouldn't care so much about Aunt Zhao's body and her inability to come back for the New Year. She's older, so let her worry less about it.
"Morning, morning......" Grandma thought for a while, but still didn't say what she had eaten in the morning.
"It's only been half a day, and I've forgotten what I ate in the morning!" Lin Jiaming said with a smile.
"I'm not sure if I ate it in the morning......"
Lin Jiaming felt a little strange, it stands to reason that although my grandmother is in her 70s, she is still in good health, so she doesn't even forget whether she eats in the morning.
"Are you hungry?"
"You're a little hungry when you say that......"
"If you want to eat something, I'll make it for you!" Lin Jiaming stood up and prepared to go back to the bedroom to change his windbreaker.
"No, what did you buy?" asked Grandma as she pointed to the pile of things behind Lin Jiaming.
"Pears, oranges, apples, and some soy milk and the like, and I bought you a box of instant noodles!" Lin Jiaming named them one by one.
"Then get me an apple!"
"Eat it directly?"
"No need to peel, no drying, no disease!"
"No, it's too icy~ I'll put you in the water to scald"
"Okay!"
