CHAPTER XXXV

Zhang Xiao's re-entry caught me off guard, I lowered my head, and looked at the inexplicable extra fruit in his hand, I instantly understood.

"You don't have to go out of your way to buy something. ”

I complained softly and reached out to try to help him lighten his burden, but Zhang Xiao just smiled faintly, and directly passed me and called Ms. Fang Yu.

"Auntie, I'm here!"

Ms. Fang Yu was originally angry, but after hearing the familiar tone, her face instantly changed her expression, and she waved her hand at the door with a smile.

"Zhang Xiao is here! Just now I said why didn't Si Yu let you come up and sit down!"

"No, it was Siyu who thought you liked to eat fruits, so he asked me to buy some. ”

At this moment, I really wanted to applaud Zhang Xiao's kind words, but before I could think about it, Ms. Fang Yu ruthlessly exposed this false politeness in the next second.

"She? she's thankful that she doesn't starve to death, and she still thinks about me?"

Ms. Fang Yu let out a disdainful snort from her nose, and after giving me a blank look, she once again held her stomach and smiled.

"You really have a heart, in fact, you have everything at home, you don't have to buy anything. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

To me is as cold as the breeze sweeping away the leaves, and to Zhang Xiao, it is as warm as the spring breeze spreading across the earth.

It seems that it is necessary to do a paternity test.

Seeing that Ms. Fang Yu and Zhang Xiao were chatting like a long-lost mother and son, I stood in place and thought angrily for a while, so I had to turn around and go to the kitchen to boil water.

A cup of rose tea in the evening, which is a habit that Ms. Fang Yu has maintained for more than 20 years, she said that this can slow down aging, although I do not agree with the scientific basis, but through observation, the years seem to have really treated her well.

Ms. Fang Yu is a very dignified kind of appearance, willow eyebrows, double eyelids, a pair of peach blossom eyes, although she is old, there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her temperament is still undiminished. When talking to Zhang Xiao, there was a shallow smile on the corners of his eyebrows, eyes, and mouth, and when he looked closely, he was even more prominently soft.

After a while, the electric kettle bubbled, probably because the water was a little full, and I couldn't do it for a while.

Just when I was at a loss, Zhang Xiao actually appeared behind me quietly.

"Need help?"

Listening to the familiar language, I suddenly thought of the tomatoes that died tragically on my chopping board last time, and immediately shook my head firmly.

"The water is too hot right now. I'll pour it later. ”

"Good. ”

Somehow, after Zhang Xiao said this, the air suddenly fell silent, and he tapped his thigh with his hand crampedly, slightly at a loss.

And I didn't know how to break the embarrassment in the kitchen, so after lowering my head and thinking for a while, I hesitated to open my mouth: "I really thought you were gone!"

"Why, this is my first time on the door. Zhang Xiao looked a little excited when he spoke.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly corrected: "What, have you come to my house many times?

I originally wanted to tease Xia Zhang Xiao, but I didn't expect that as soon as the words landed, he leaned over and added in my ear: "It's the first time that Qin Siyu's real boyfriend has come." ”

"......" blushed, and I nodded silently.

It seems to make sense.

I don't know if I have been in the kitchen with Zhang Xiao for a long time, and after a while, Ms. Fang Yu's urging voice came from the living room.

"Qin Siyu, if you wait for the water, it will be cold. ”

"Okay, okay, come right away. I calmed Ms. Yu below, turned around and wanted to make tea, but I didn't think about it, and Zhang Xiao took the lead.

"Auntie, is this tea brewed like this?"

I have to say that Zhang Xiao is really good at performing, obviously it is a matter of pouring boiling water into it, but he was stunned by him to ask about the technical content.

On the contrary, Ms. Fang Yu still ate this set, and after taking the teacup with a smile, it was another disguised commendation meeting, and my whole person was sour.

It was getting late, and it was finally waiting for Zhang Xiao to say goodbye, and Ms. Fang Yu recalled the fact that she still had a daughter.

"Siyu, did you tell Xiaoxiao about not going to Port City?"

"Said it. ”

"Then ...... him"

"Oh, Mom, this is my business, you just let me solve it myself, besides, grandma is still living in the hospital, and it will make the director embarrassed for us to go to the hospital to discuss the law." Isn't it just a week's off? I'll take a break, and to be honest, I'm pretty uncomfortable working overtime this month. ”

I pretended to have a headache and rubbed my temples, and when Ms. Fang Yu saw this, she didn't say anything more, just shook her head helplessly, and after drinking tea, she went back to the room alone.

In the past, when I encountered such grievances, I might really go home and make a big fuss regardless of it, and let Comrade Lao Qin ask me for an explanation.

But after experiencing the resignation of professors, I realized that this society is not as beautiful as I imagined, and it can even be said that the reality is terrible. Just because you don't hurt others doesn't mean you won't be harmed.

In addition, the recent things at home are really cumbersome, and the scandal of the third uncle is still like a mess, and it is still messy. Grandma was angry and hospitalized, although the physical seems to be fine, but the psychological hurdle is by no means so easy to overcome.

Comrade Lao Qin is now like the pillar of the family, and if I make trouble again, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become the last straw that crushes the camel.

Qin Siyu, you should also be sensible.

I was probably really tired, and I fell asleep after a while in bed, and when I woke up again, I was surprised to find snowflakes floating outside the window.

Immediately, the loss caused by the suspension in my heart was swept away, and I put on my shoes excitedly and was about to run downstairs, but I was directly shouted to stop by Ms. Fang Yu.

"Oh, why are you going. Later, your grandma and grandpa will come back and stay at home for me. ”

"But it's snowing outside!"

I pouted and reluctantly looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window.

"Isn't it snowing!" Ms. Fang Yu calmly baked bread, looking not strange.

Ning'an City is close to the sea, so the next snow is particularly difficult, in order to find a balance, I opened the circle of friends and flipped through it, and found that all of them were like me who had never seen the world, and my heart was instantly refreshed.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiao's news suddenly popped up.

【In the snowy weather, I miss you very much.】 The accompanying picture is a snowflake that falls on his down jacket.

Well...... It's a suffocating literary atmosphere.

I was silent for two seconds, and finally I couldn't hold back my laughter.

[Is it okay to talk to people?]

[Thinking of you is human talk.] 】

[Then we'll see you on the blacklist!] I added a goodbye emoji, and my face was loveless.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiao's desire to survive was still strong, and almost within three seconds, he came back with a coquettish and cute emoji.

[People just want to confirm whether they really have a girlfriend. 】

Although I seriously suspect that Zhang Xiao's "family" is suspected of being coquettish, he was really cute.

But just as I was thinking about how to reply to Zhang Xiao, the door of the house was opened without warning, and then I saw the third uncle walking in from the outside in a rage.

"Mom, you don't have the right to limit my life. ”

"Why not, I gave birth to you, so I naturally have the obligation to pull you back from the crooked road, what is it like to live with a man, you will go on this blind date today, and if you don't go, you will go. ”

I have never seen such a hearty roar from a patient just after being discharged from the hospital, but today, it opened my grandmother's eyes.

"That's just my friend......"

Comrade Lao Qin was afraid that his grandmother's blood pressure would rise again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and covered the mouth of the third uncle, and the second uncle, as a companion, helped his grandmother to walk to the inner room, persuading him while walking, which avoided a bigger quarrel.

I couldn't interject, so I could only pull my grandfather, who was still standing at the door with a headache, into the dining room.

"Grandpa, let's have something to eat!"

"Good. Grandpa also felt irritable, and after sitting down obediently, he drank the soy milk silently

After a while, the third uncle, who was still angry, also sat down in the restaurant, he didn't eat, so he stayed without saying a word.

I opened my mouth to ask something, but I really didn't know where to start, so I could only learn from my grandfather to stuff a slice of bread into his mouth and choose to protect himself.

But I chose Mingzhe to protect himself, it doesn't mean that Mingzhe will choose me, the third uncle stayed quietly for a while, and suddenly his eyes were staring at me like a torch.

"Siyu, do me a favor!"

When he said this, the third uncle also showed a bright smile in cooperation.

Somehow, I always felt that the third uncle's smile was full of ill intentions, and after remembering his last blind date, I said "no" to him righteously!"

"What haven't I said yet?"

"Needless to say, I know, uncle, it's not that I didn't mean not to help you, it's that I really can't help you, because I'm also in a state of introspection now!"

"What? What mistake did you make again. ”

I don't know when, Comrade Lao Qin actually stood behind me, and when he heard that I was going to reflect, he immediately became excited.

"By the way, didn't you tell me you were going to Port City, why are you still at home?"

Two questions in a row, like two knives straight into my chest, just as I was thinking about whether I should open my mouth in public to tell Comrade Lao Qin the ins and outs, Ms. Fang Yu appeared in time and pulled him to the bedroom.

After the third uncle saw that Comrade Lao Qin was gone, he once again asked for my help, and in the end, it was my grandfather who made a timely move and glared at him twice before he stopped.

The atmosphere in the house today is very strange, obviously many people are at home. But it was unexpectedly cold. The third uncle and grandma held their breath for each other, and even the meals were not at the same table, the grandmother was brought to the bedroom by Comrade Lao Qin, and the third uncle held the bowl and ate neatly in the living room.

After eating, the third uncle wanted to go to the convenience store to buy some drinks, but he didn't think about it, and as soon as he opened the door, his grandmother ran out angrily.

"From this day forward, you are not allowed to leave this house. ”
