Chapter 116: Terrible Man
After hearing the compliment, Zhang Xiao's hand paused slightly, and a crimson crept up on his face.
"It'll be better in the future, how about a taste?"
He smiled and placed the egg noodles in front of me, raised his hand and gently rubbed my head.
In my impression, Zhang Xiao likes this action very much, and when he has nothing to do, he will start rubbing two handfuls.
At first, I would resist and think that he messed up my hairstyle, but after I got used to it, I actually developed an intimacy.
In order to live up to Zhang Xiao's egg noodles, I first tidied up my messy hair, and then solemnly picked up chopsticks and merged them on the table.
Looking down at the scent, I can't help but let out a "wow", well, I admit, the exclamation was a little personal.
Gently pick the noodles, slowly put them in your mouth, and chew them, and after three bites, your stomach warmed up unexpectedly.
"Husband, your skills can go to open a restaurant. ”
I looked up at him steadily, and though I didn't know how to make my eyes glow like stars, I was right to keep them open.
Zhang Xiao glanced at me, and the corners of his mouth were full of uncontrollable smiles.
"Wife, your rainbow fart is ready to race. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't eat this, I blinked my sour eyes twice, and returned my attention to the egg noodles in front of me.
After sleeping for so long, the bread in my stomach has long been digested, and I can't care about being reserved at this moment, so I lie on the edge of the bowl with my whole face, and snort to clean up the noodles.
After taking the last sip of the soup, I wiped my mouth contentedly.
"Husband, to be honest, the egg noodles this time are really delicious. ”
"Well, since you say so, allow me to cross my waist for a while. Saying that, Zhang Xiao actually cooperated and made a move.
Although he wanted to show his face full of tsundere, the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed, and the whole scene was extremely funny.
I covered my mouth and laughed for a while, planning to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but as soon as I got up, I was pushed back by Zhang Xiao.
"I'll just come. ”
"Huh?" I frowned curiously.
Zhang Xiao took advantage of the chaos to snatch the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, walked quickly to the kitchen, tilted his head and gave me an unbearable expression.
"Seeing that you are too tired to work overtime, I feel distressed. ”
Although my heart is very warm, my face is not happy after all, Zhang Xiao has done everything, which inevitably makes me look too wasteful.
After looking around, I finally set my eyes on the apples in the kitchen.
"Then I'll peel apples for you to eat. ”
Who knows, as soon as I took two steps, Zhang Xiao opened his arms, stepped forward, and successfully stopped me at the kitchen door.
"No, I'll do it. ”
If it was considerate not to let me wash the dishes just now, it would be too considerate not to let me peel apples.
Tilting my head to think about it, I crossed my arms and looked him up and down meaningfully, while he kept looking back at the trash can in the kitchen.
It's okay that this is not a skimming, but it really piqued my great curiosity.
After a gap, I got under his arm with my head down, ran to the trash can in three steps and two steps, opened the lid, looked down, and almost laughed.
Blame had to let me into the kitchen.
"Husband, can you explain to me how so many mushy eggs came from?"
“……”
Zhang Xiao didn't speak, tilted his head and threw me a roll of his eyes, as if he was blaming me for asking knowingly.
"Okay, failure is the mother of success, and the egg noodles you made in the end are not perfect!"
"Then you're going to have to watch it all the time. ”
"Aren't I curious!"
After a while, since we both had to go to work tomorrow, we washed up and went to bed.
Maybe it's because I sleep a lot in the afternoon, so I sleep in a light state all the time.
When the phone "buzzed", I almost didn't hesitate to get up from the bed with my arms propped up, and when I picked it up, it was actually my second uncle, who was not close to me.
picked it up with suspicion, and in an instant, the second uncle's hurried voice poured out of the earpiece.
"Siyu, can you come to your second courtyard......?
I glanced at the time and found that it was actually past four o'clock in the morning, and the second uncle was in the hospital at this time!
Uneasiness welled up in my heart, I comforted the second uncle twice, and then changed my clothes non-stop, during which I woke up Zhang Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, after he heard the ins and outs, he had to accompany me over.
I didn't bother to persuade it, so I pulled my hair together casually, grabbed the car keys and ran to the second courtyard with Zhang Xiao.
Unlike the silence of the outpatient building, the emergency room is always full of noise, the painful wails of patients, the crying of family members, and the sound of quarrels in between, which annoys people unexpectedly.
When I found the second uncle in the third ward of the emergency department, the nurse was changing his dressing, and when she saw me coming, she nodded and said hello.
"What's going on here?"
I stared at my second uncle's plaster left hand, and sighed helplessly, although I didn't put the word trouble on my face, but my tone still couldn't help but bring disgust.
"I'm ......"
The second uncle lowered his head and looked apologetic.
"Okay, don't be angry yet, the second uncle definitely doesn't want to. ”
Seeing that I was aggressive, Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand to stop me behind him, gave me a look, and signaled me to calm down first.
Xu was because of Zhang Xiao's adjustment, the second uncle finally opened his mouth, and he made the ins and outs clear.
It turned out that Jianan recently signed up for a piano class and was quite interested, but because the piano was too expensive, the second aunt never bought it for him.
So some time ago, when Jianan Jiabei met with the second uncle, he told the second uncle about it, and the second uncle had the intention of wooing the two children, so he agreed, but he didn't have so much money, and after thinking about it again, he started the idea of driving fast, and he did a good job, but who knows, today because of a drunk man who had a car accident and broke his arm, but he didn't have enough money to pay for the medical bills.
He made a round of phone calls, all of which were turned off, and I picked it up when I was sleeping alone, which can be regarded as an alternative fate.
"Siyu, can you borrow some money from the second uncle to pay the bill, and I will pay you back in a few days." ”
The second uncle offended Ms. Fang Yu because of Song Xiaozhi's matter last time, so now Comrade Lao Qin has rarely given him financial assistance.
I didn't expect my second uncle to pay back the money, so I nodded and went to the payment center.
Most of the people in the hospital knew each other, and the little nurse on duty saw that I had asked a few more questions, so I shook my head helplessly, only sighed that it was a family matter, and then turned back to the emergency ward.
In fact, my heart is quite complicated, on the one hand, I hate my second uncle, I feel that he is to blame, and on the other hand, I can't rest assured, and I can't help but worry.
Watching him correct, I was happy in my heart, but I was more afraid that he was just a momentary heat, and it wouldn't be long before he would relapse.
Now seeing him driving fast in order to buy a piano for Jianan, my heart is more sour than gratifying.
When I went back, my second uncle's wound had almost been treated, but the plaster cast on his arm was really an eyesore.
"Go back and have a good rest, and ask for a leave from the hotel first. ”
"Hmm. The second uncle nodded obediently, "That Siyu, can you not tell them about me driving a fast train." ”
The second uncle kept his head calm and didn't dare to look directly at me, as if he was ashamed.
"Can you hide this arm?"
Somehow, my mood was indescribably blocked, and I wanted to vent, but I couldn't find an outlet. So it's inevitable to be a little cold when you speak.
The second uncle was scolded by me, and his head lowered even more.
"I ......"
"Got it, I won't say it, you can make up your own reasons. ”
“……”
The second uncle didn't answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. The atmosphere between Xu and us was too awkward, and on the way home to send the second uncle, Zhang Xiao took the initiative to break the silence and greeted the second uncle with some work troubles.
When I sent people downstairs, it was already past six o'clock, and Zhang Xiao and I still had to go to work, so we didn't go up again.
The second uncle got out of the car and stood tangled outside the co-pilot, and his head that had been lowered all night was finally raised at this moment.
"Siyu, the second uncle did a lot of foolish things before, and he also said a lot of sorry things for you, I didn't expect you to forgive me, I hope you can give the second uncle a chance to make amends, is it okay?"
He said sincerely, and my eyes were slightly red, and my hand on the steering wheel froze for a moment, finally breaking the coldness on my face.
"Let's go back and rest first, and if there is anything to tell you in the future, don't carry it alone. ”
To be honest, my heart is still in turmoil now, and I don't know what to answer, so I softened my tone and comforted a few words, and then drove away under the excuse of going to work.
On the way, Zhang Xiao patted me on the shoulder as if soothingly, "Wife, you are really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted!"
I glared at him and sighed helplessly.
"What do you say the second uncle is carrying alone? Jianan wants a piano, tell Comrade Lao Qin and the third uncle first, it's really not good, it's okay to tell me!"
I complained about the second uncle's stubbornness, but Zhang Xiao shook his head with a smile on the side.
"Wife, I finally know how the second uncle's character was formed. ”
"Huh?" I frowned slightly.
"It's what you're used to, as soon as the second uncle has something, he goes to find his father and the third uncle, and finally wants to be independent, but you regard him as reckless. ”
“……”
Bystander Qing, I have been in chaos for so many years, but now I have been told the truth by Zhang Xiao, which is really a bit embarrassing.
Indeed, even if the second uncle made a mistake outside, Comrade Lao Qin and his grandmother's first thought was how to help him, rather than to make him admit his mistake.
Song Xiaozhi's case is a typical example.
"I ......"
I wanted to open my mouth to refute, but I struggled for a long time, but I couldn't say a word.
Zhang Xiao smiled on the side, rubbed his hand on my head again, and gradually softened his words.
"Okay, I know that you are for the good of the second uncle. I have a friend who sells pianos, so I'll help you ask when the time comes. ”
"Really?"
"Can your husband still lie to you?"
In this way, Zhang Xiao's words soothed the anxiety in my heart.
You know, one of the things I'm planning after work today is to rush to the piano shop.
Alas, what a "terrible" man.
