Chapter 14: An Early Farewell
I finally stopped crying, I sent her to the door and opened the door, but I saw that the mute didn't know when she was standing at the door, which really scared me.
"Do you know that people are scary, scary. What are you doing here quietly?" I grumbled as I touched my little heart.
I never thought that this dumb man changed his old style, and he didn't say sorry, but quickly avoided my eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly wrote a few words on the paper: You, are you leaving?
Eavesdropping, the first reaction in my head.
"You haven't heard it all, I'll be back next week. Oh yes, thank you for the meal hospitality during this time. You see if this will work, as a thank you, the rent will not have to be refunded to me. "
I originally wanted to talk to him in a few days, but since he heard it, I just let him know in advance, and if someone rents a house, he can also book something in advance.
After I finished speaking, the dumb man looked at me with some surprise, and then without saying anything, he took the dishes and chopsticks in Feifei's hand and turned around and left. Feifei saw that his father was gone, glanced at me, and quickly followed.
What is wrong with this dumb man, did I say something wrong? But I think there is nothing wrong with what I just said, and I have done everything I should have done.
The next day, my special care meal was still the same, and the mute looked the same as before, but I always felt that he was still strange.
Time flies, a week is about to pass. On Friday, Shiba called and said they would come the next day, and the editor-in-chief ordered them to return the manuscript within three days, so I had to go back the next day.
After a few days of recovery, my feet were fine, after all, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and I was able to walk slowly on my own.
In the evening, when I heard Dumb and Feifei coming back, I went to the kitchen to be busy cooking. It was time to say goodbye to the mute, and I followed him to the kitchen door.
The dumb man prepared bone broth for me again, and I drank it for almost a week. Besides, I didn't hurt my bones, how long is this fool going to let me drink bone broth?
"Well, you're going to get bone broth again?" I asked, leaning against the door frame, looking up at the bones soaked in the water.
He didn't seem to hear me standing in the doorway, and panicked for a moment, then put down his work and nodded at me.
"You better don't get it, I don't want to eat that today. I straightened up, looked at the pile of bones, and shook my head with a defiant frown.
I'm really tired of eating, and now I want to vomit when I see my bones.
"So what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." The mute looked at me, smiled at me, took out a pen and paper and asked me.
Actually, I don't really know what to eat, and besides, I kind of want to eat Western food, can he make it?
Why don't you go in and see what's going on and decide what to eat? I had just lifted my foot to go in, and I didn't want to forget that the damn door had such a high threshold, and my crippled little foot was knocked to the ground by it and hurt straight to my thigh, and I lost my balance and was about to lie on the ground.
My knees, my face, my hands, what to do, I can't protect you anymore, ah~ I closed my eyes and was about to cry. Alas, wait, how come I seem to be still in the air for half a day. My knees, my face, my hands, they, they don't seem to burn up with pain!
I slowly opened my eyes, and sure enough, I was still in the air, and I looked down to see the mute man with one arm around my chest supporting my body. And my first reaction was "hooligan", he hit me in the chest.
I quickly stood up straight, and without thinking about it, I just slapped him in the face. The dumb man was shocked by my actions, took two steps back, and looked at me with one hand covering his face with doubts and grievances.
After a moment of calm, I realized that what I had just done seemed to have gone too far. Looking at the dumb man standing on the sidelines, his heart suddenly beat violently. I felt like he could hear my heartbeat, which made me feel more and more awkward.
"Well, I, I'm going to talk to you, and my colleague will come and pick me up tomorrow. You, keep cooking, whatever you want, whatever you want. With that, I immediately turned around and ran to my room.
It's not right for me to hit someone, but who called him...... I sat on the bed and tried to make a round of what I had just done, but my heartbeat didn't slow down at all.
I don't know how long it took, but it took a long time for my heart to slowly return to normal. At this time, Feifei shouted outside the door that I was eating, and after what happened just now, I didn't want to go out to eat, so I couldn't help but let my stomach go, and I couldn't help screaming when I heard about eating. I had no choice but to get out of my stomach and go out to eat.
The format of the meal was the same as usual, but the atmosphere was really awkward, of course, this embarrassment may just be my own feeling, and the dumb people may not take it seriously at all. It's not in front of me, it's like nothing happened just now, what to do and what to do.
As for me, naturally I can't show weakness, gritting my teeth and forcing myself to be nothing, sitting up straight and generously picking up chopsticks and saying with a smile: "Tonight's meal looks good, and I may miss this taste when I leave tomorrow." "
I don't know where I said it wrong, the mute face suddenly changed, and the chopsticks that served me were still paused in my small bowl. But soon he relented, smiled at me, and got up and went back to the house.
This person is so strange, how can he be for a while. I was depressed, and Feifei on the side suddenly took my hand and cried again: "Aunt Jingjing, are you really going to leave tomorrow?" I don't want you to go, don't you go, okay?"
Oh, this little poor is here again, how can I comfort me, I comforted for a long time that day, and even coaxed and deceived her to calm down, and I have to start all over again.
I'm the same with this mouth, so why don't I wait for dinner to tell the dumb person alone. Now, let's get yourself in trouble. Just as I was helpless, the dumb man came out of the room.
Or he has a way, I don't know what to compare, Feifei stopped crying after a while, and sat obediently while eating, crying while eating, which made people feel distressed.
Because I was afraid that Feifei would cry again, I didn't ask the dumb man what Feifei said to calm her down.
I touched Feifei's head and picked up my chopsticks and was about to eat, when the dumb man put a roll of money in front of me.
"What does that mean?" I frowned, confused.
The mute smiled at me and handed me the notebook in his hand unhurriedly, and he had already written the answer on it: "This is the rest of the room money." I'm humble here, and I've wronged you for more than half a month. "
I picked up the money on the table and probably saw that it was more than 2,000, but I only gave him 3,000 in total.
"Why are there so many? We say a hundred a day, and I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others. Besides, I didn't plan to ask for the rest of the money. This opens a small stove for me every day, and I am also very embarrassed, so I will pay for my food. With that, I put the money back in his hand.
The dumb man saw that I gave him the money again, took back the notebook and wrote a bunch of things on it, and then handed it to me again, so I pushed him back directly: "If you say don't want it, don't want it, I'm most annoyed by this kind of fake politeness, so it's not annoying to let go." If you really don't want to go, just let me deposit the rent here with you, and then come back to live in the future and deduct it from it. "
I've said all that, and the dumb man has no choice but to accept it. However, Feifei, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly jumped up: "Oh, great, Auntie will come back again." Auntie, I promise not to cry or make a fuss and eat well, will you be back soon?"
Feifei's two big eyes blinked at me and waited for my answer, but how could I answer, what I said just now was just to coax the dumb man to accept the money, but Feifei took it seriously.
I don't have any friends here, and I'm not related to the mute, so how can I come back to live here. I really can't open my mouth if I lie to a child, but I can't bear to tell her the truth when I see Feifei's appearance.
I could only ask for help from the mute, but I didn't expect to turn my head and see the mute looking at me with the same expression as Feifei. That's it: "Feifei is good, as long as Feifei is obedient, Aunt Feifei will come back to see you often, okay?"
Feifei was naturally overjoyed when she heard what she wanted to hear, and turned her head to see that the mute man was also smiling. I seem to know how the dumb man just let Feifei eat obediently without crying or making trouble, how do I feel dumb I already knew, I will be the same as Feifei said I would come back.
It's a kind of unhappiness to be calculated, but I can't bear to be disappointed when I see them happy, so I don't care.
