Chapter 67: Mr. Tang is still in bed
The group of four returned to the old mansion of the Tang family.
"You're back, and you're having a great time. Tang Honghe asked with a smile.
The two sisters stepped forward and said, "Happy, grandpa, the fireworks are very beautiful, Ruan Ruan took a picture." Su Ruan Ruan showed the photos he had taken to Tang Honghe.
Tang Honghe smiled while watching.
"Jing Ting, today is the Chinese New Year, you and Ruan Ruan will stay for the night. Yu Sisi said to Tang Jingting.
As soon as Yu Sisi said this, Tang Honghe hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, tonight, you will stay for one night, and so will Xi'er!"
Tang Honghe proposed this, and they naturally had no reason to refuse, so they agreed.
Although there are rooms on the east and west, Tang Honghe meant to let several juniors spend the night in the main courtyard tonight, and quickly asked the servants to clean up the room.
"Dad, it's not early tonight, you take your medicine and rest early. Yu Sisi said with concern, and handed over Tang Honghe's medicine.
Tang Honghe took it and ate it, nodded, "Okay, I'm so old, I can't keep the New Year with you young people, you have a good time, keep the New Year!"
"Good night grandpa. Su Ruan Ruan said sweetly to Tang Honghe.
Seeing this, Su Ruan Ning reacted, and hurriedly said good night to Tang Honghe.
After Tang Honghe went upstairs, Chen Shuhe also left the main house and returned to the east courtyard.
Tang Jingting's eyes swept around, but he didn't see Tang Meng's figure, "Has he returned to the West Courtyard?"
Yu Sisi's face inevitably changed, and emotions fell from his eyes, "Hmm...... Yes, your dad said he was sleepy, so he went back first. ”
Yu Sisi is not a person who is good at hiding her emotions, Tang Jingting could see at a glance that she was lying, "Mom, why do you help him hide it." ”
Yu Sisi blinked lightly, a little helpless in his eyes.
"Today is the Chinese New Year, where did he go. Tang Jingting said calmly, with deep displeasure.
Yu Sisi pulled her lips, "An old friend of your father, who has been single since his wife died, just asked your father to go drinking together." ”
Friends......
Drink......
Scold......
Tang Jingting knew that this was an excuse made by Tang Meng, and the kind of excuse he made was only believed by Yu Sisi!
Yu Sisi saw that Tang Jingting's face was not good, so he hurriedly changed his words and was relieved, "Okay, I'm tired after being busy for most of the day, you and Xi'er have a good time, Mom will go back first." ”
Tang Jingting knew Yu Sisi's temperament, and he was displeased, but he was helpless.
"Okay, then you can rest early. He said.
Yu Sisi nodded, and after greeting Tang Xi and them, he left the main courtyard.
Tang Jingting looked at his mother's lonely figure, and there was a layer of mist and gloom under his eyes.
"Mr. Tang!"
His thoughts were pulled back by a sweet and soft voice, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that bright and bright little face, "Huh?"
"Brother Tang Xi said that he wanted to play Monopoly together, Mr. Tang together. Su Nguyen Nguyen said.
Tang Jingting turned around and followed Su Ruan Ruan.
On the goose down carpet, there was a paper drawing of a rich man, and the four of them sat around, Tang Xi distributed funds to the four of them, and when it was sent to Tang Jingting, Tang Xi grinned, "Second brother, you take it easy, don't win too hard." ”
In previous years, Tang Xi and Tang Jingting played Monopoly, but what they lost was not ordinarily miserable, Tang Jingting was a good hand in the shopping mall, and playing Monopoly was also very popular.
Tang Jingting hooked his lips and smiled, silent.
The living room was filled with the laughter of the four people, harmonious and beautiful.
Su Ruan Ruan threw the dice and walked a few steps, and the money she was holding in her hand was much more than the basic fund.
"Ruan girl, you can be lucky!" Tang Xi said.
Su Ruan Ruan's eyebrows bent, his hands folded, and he learned the words on TV, "Accept and accept." Then he stretched out his little hand and asked the three for money.
The three of them gave her the money, and the next one went to Su Ruanning.
After playing in a circle, Tang Xi lost a lot of money, Su Ruan Ning was average, Su Ruan Ruan won a lot, and Tang Jingting ......
Su Ruan Ruan finished counting his money, glanced at the money in the hands of the three people, and his eyes fell on Tang Jingting's hand, "Brother Tang Xi is deceiving people." ”
Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Where do you start with this?"
"Brother Tang Xi didn't say that Mr. Tang was very powerful, and asked Mr. Tang not to win too hard, but Mr. Tang didn't seem to win much!" Su Ruan Ruan said.
Tang Xi glanced at it and looked at the two years that they had played together with the second brother of Monopoly with the least amount of money.
The second brother is not powerful, there is a suspicion of releasing water at all.
Tang Xigang wanted to say something, but Tang Jingting stared at him, and he smiled, "That's my second brother has regressed, in fact, if you think about it, the second brother is not very powerful, right?" ”
Tang Xi took the opportunity to 'retaliate', didn't dare to look at Tang Jingting more, and hurriedly beckoned the two girls to the next game!
After two or so sets of Monopoly played, the time was almost up.
Four people stood on the balcony, waiting for the New Year's countdown.
"Five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year!" Tang Xi shouted.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. Tang!"
Tang Jingting looked at the little girl and smiled softly, his eyes unconsciously softened, "Happy New Year." ”
Su Ruan Ruan looked at the fireworks in the night sky outside as people bloomed in celebration, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together in her heart.
In the past six months, she and her sister have experienced too much, kidnapping, and family changes.
In the face of such a huge change, perhaps the only thing that makes her feel warm is Mr. Tang and Grandpa Tang.
They weren't their relatives, but they gave them a home.
"What are you thinking?"
A familiar and mellow voice sounded in her ears, Su Ruan Ruan retracted her emotions, and when she rolled her eyes, her eyes crashed into those obsidian-like eyes.
Her pink lips curled, "I'm thinking about a lot of things, Dad, Mom, Grandpa Tang, and Mr. Tang." ”
Tang Jingting looked at the villain, from her eyes, he could see the emotions, and he could understand her complex emotions.
The four of them watched the fireworks on the balcony for a while, and chatted for a while before entering the back room.
It was late at night, and they went back to their rooms.
Yu Sisi arranged for Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning to be in a large room, a huge room, a large and soft bed.
Su Ruan Ruan was lying relaxed on the soft bed, and when she turned her head to one side, she saw her sister beside her.
"Sister. ”
Su Ruan Ning lay down and played with her mobile phone, didn't take her eyes off, and responded.
"It's been a long time since we've slept in the same bed like this. Su Ruan Ruan turned sideways, her right cheek pressed against her right hand.
She and her sister are Shuangsheng sisters, they have grown up together since childhood, and when they were young, they were together almost every day, whether it was eating or sleeping.
Later, as they grew up, they lived in two separate rooms, and it seemed like many years ago that the two of them slept in the same bed and chatted like this.
"Well, it's been a long time. Su Ruan Ning replied lightly.
"Sister, do you remember the clapping game we used to play? We haven't played it for a long time, let's play?" Su Ruan Ruan said as she sat up with a look of anticipation.
After Su Ruan Ruan finished sending the message, he put his phone aside and glanced at Su Ruan Ruan lazily, "How old are you still playing? It's not early, go to bed early." After speaking, he gathered the quilt and fell asleep on his side.
The expectation on Su Ruan Ruan's little face froze, and slowly relaxed, a little lost.
"Okay, then, good night sister. She curled her lips and said goodnight to her sister.
There was no response, Su Ruan Ruan turned off the bedside lamp, and the huge room suddenly fell into darkness.
……
The hour hand pointed to two o'clock, and the old Tang family's house fell into silence, the lights in the main house and the east courtyard were extinguished, but the ones in the west courtyard were still on.
In the living room, Yu Sisi lay on her side on the sofa, her eyes fell on the screen of the TV that was being projected, but in fact, she didn't know what was going on on the TV, and occasionally she lifted her eyes to look at the clock on the wall.
"Madame, it's late at night, or you should rest first. The servant came and persuaded him.
Yu Sisi sat up straight and looked at the clock, it was already two o'clock, and Tang Meng hadn't come back yet.
"No, I'm not sleepy yet, you go and rest first, I'll just wait for my husband to come back." Yu Sisi said softly.
Although the maid cared, but in the end Yu Sisi was the master, she didn't have much to say, so she could only sigh and nod her head in agreement.
The servant left the living room and went back to the room.
Yu Sisi pressed the phone, the phone was quiet, there was no phone, there was not a single text message, it was as calm as stagnant water.
She thought for a moment, then pressed the dial button.
It rang several times before the phone was connected.
"Mon. ”
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, then a low answer.
Yu Sisi held the phone, "You, when are you coming back?" She asked softly.
"I don't know, don't wait for me. ”
Yu Sisi's eyebrows frowned slightly, his indifference she didn't face on the first day, nor did she know it on the first day, but ......
Today is the New Year, if it is usual, she really won't ask too much, but today is the New Year, the day of family reunion, she is his wife, and he is her husband.
"Meng, today is the New Year, you can ...... Will you come back sooner?" she asked, plucking up her courage.
"I still have something to do, if you don't have anything else, I'll hang up. After speaking, without waiting for Yu Sisi to respond, snap.
Doodoo ......
The sound of the phone disconnecting.
Yu Sisi's eyes were stunned, and the hand holding the mobile phone slowly drooped.
After a long time, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the endless moonlight outside the window, this night, she was alone again.
……
On the other side, after Tang Meng hung up the phone, he only felt irritable, frowned, and threw the phone aside.
The sound of water ticking in the bathroom stopped.
A moment later, the frosted door of the bathroom was pushed open, and a tall, slender woman wrapped in a white bath towel wiped her jet-black hair and walked out.
"What's the matter, your face is so ugly, whose phone was it just now?" The woman's voice was coquettish, and after walking to Tang Meng's side, she sat down.
Tang Meng sat up with a gloomy face, "It's nothing, it's wrong." ”
The woman's red lips tugged and let out a sneer, "Who are you fooling, I know, it's your wife, right." ”
Tang Meng pursed his lips and did not deny it.
"It's no wonder, today is the New Year, when everyone's family is reunited, you left your wife and came to me, no wonder your wife is in a hurry. ”
Tang Meng glanced at the woman slowly, took the bath towel from the woman's hand, roughly wiped off the water droplets from her hair, and then threw the bath towel aside, took the woman to his side with his big palm, and said in a suppressed voice: "What's the matter?"
The woman smiled brightly, leaned on Tang Meng's arms, raised her hand to play with the delicate fingernails that were maintained, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just ...... Isn't it a little sinful for me to be like this, but the people over there are waiting, how infatuated. ”
"No one told her to wait, she wanted to. Tang Meng said coldly, without the slightest emotion in his words.
The woman pursed her lips, "Hey, your wife is so pitiful." ”
Tang Meng sneered and casually hooked the woman's jaw, "If she is not pitiful, it is you who is pitiful, do you want to be a bodhisattva of all beings?"
The woman raised her eyebrows and circled her, "I don't have such a broad state of mind, I pity her and she choose one pitifully, of course I choose her poor, I'm not so kind." ”
Tang Meng smiled, "That's right." ”
After saying that, the two leaned together and fell out of bed.
————
The next day, Su Ruan Ruan got up early.
For the sake of the New Year, she felt that the whole atmosphere was different.
When she got up early in the morning, she received New Year's greetings from Ji Bai and them, as well as Qianqian's, and she replied to them one by one.
After washing, Su Ruan Ruan picked out a small pink and white skirt, erected a high ponytail, and tied the ponytail with a bow band, which made her a little more angry in this lazy winter day.
"Sister, I'm done washing up and going out first. She said hello to Su Ruan Ning and left the room.
Walking out of the room, Su Ruan Ruan met the servant who passed by, she smiled and said hello.
The maid of the old mansion also liked Su Ruan Ruan and responded to her greeting.
Su Ruan Ruan stopped as she passed by Tang Jingting's room, "Hasn't Mr. Tang gotten up yet?" she asked the maid on the side.
The maid bowed, "It should be, it's still early, and the second lady hasn't come over yet." ”
Su Ruan Ruan's eyes rolled, and then he came to the door of the room and knocked lightly, "Mr. Tang, get up." ”
But there was no response.
She tried to twist the doorknob, but it didn't lock......
She tentatively twisted the door open, and peered through the crack in the door, and her gaze fell on the large bed inside, which was empty.
"Hey, is Mr. Tang already up?" she straightened up, pushed the door and walked in.
The servant said, "No, there's no one downstairs." ”
But the room was empty.
"Mr. Tang?"
Su Ruan Ruan called tentatively, but no one responded, just as she was about to leave, suddenly the door was opened, she subconsciously turned her head, and saw the carved sliding door being opened, and a man in a beige sweater and slacks walked out of it.
Su Ruan Ruan was taken aback, and instinctively turned around, "Mr. Tang......"
Tang Jingting narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl who looked like a 'thief', "What do you do to look like a thief?"
Su Nguyen: "......"
"No, Ruan Ruan came to wake up Mr. Tang, and thought that Mr. Tang was still lying in bed. She pursed her lips.
Tang Jingting smiled in a low voice, walked up to the little girl, raised his hand and tapped the little girl's smooth forehead with his bent knuckles, "Think I'm like you? ”
Su Nguyen: "......"
"Since Mr. Tang is up, then Ruan Ruan will go downstairs first!" she snorted and grimaced at the man.
Tang Jingting's indifferent handsome face was slightly stunned, and he smiled slowly for a moment, and the little girl's courage became bigger and bigger.
Just as Su Ruan Ruan was about to leave, suddenly, there was more strength in her wrist, and she turned around, "Huh." ”
The man handed her a delicate gift box.
"What is this?" Su Ruan Ruan looked at him inexplicably.
"New Year's gift, Happy New Year. "The man's deep voice, like mellow spring water, is touching and pleasant.
The little girl's eyebrows and eyes stretched, she took the gift box with a light smile, opened the gift box, and there was a pearl hairpin with exquisite workmanship lying in the gift box, "What a beautiful hairpin." ”
"Do you like it?"
Su Ruan Ruan nodded hurriedly, she liked it!
Tang Jingting's thin lips pulled up a light smile, his slender hand twisted the hairpin on the gift box, leaned over to the little girl's side, only to hear a click, the hairpin was pinned to the little girl's black hair.
Su Ruan Ruan instinctively raised his hand and touched the hairpin pinned to his hair, his eyebrows and eyes curved, "Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
Tang Jingting smiled and handed her another letter of laisee.
New Year's harvest is a very common thing, one is to be happy, and the other is to ask for auspiciousness.
Su Ruan Ruan was not arrogant, and said happy New Year to the man sweetly after taking the laisee.
The little girl's sweet New Year's greetings fell on Tang Jingting's heart, rippling, the smile between his thin lips deepened, and he followed the little girl out of the room.
When the two arrived at the staircase, they met Su Ruanning, and Tang Jingting also gave Su Ruan Ning a New Year's gift and laisee.
Not long after a few people went downstairs, Tang Xi yawned and went downstairs to greet a few people.
"Aunt Yu, hasn't Grandpa gotten up yet?" Su Ruan Ruan looked around and didn't see Tang Honghe's figure, and couldn't help asking.
Yu Sisi smiled gently, "Grandpa has already gotten up, but he went out to do Tai Chi first, and he should be almost back." ”
Yu Sisi and Su Ruan Ruan were talking, and Tang Jingting's eyes fell on Yu Sisi's tired face, and his face was slightly gloomy.
When Yu Sisi entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Tang Jingting followed in.
"Jingting, why did you come in here, the breakfast is almost good. Yu Sisi said.
Tang Jingting saw that Yu Sisi was going to take the tomatoes, so he took them and washed them before handing them to Yu Sisi.
"Jing Ting's mother can be busy here, you better go out and wait, it will be fine soon." Yu Sisi said.
"Mom, he didn't come back last night. Tang Jingting spoke in a deep voice.
Yu Sisi was stunned for a moment, and instinctively spoke for Tang Meng, "What are you talking about, this kid, there is nothing." ”
"No?" the man's face was gloomy, "the dark blue under your eyes is very heavy, and you just haven't slept well at first glance, if he comes back, what will you do? What's more, he hasn't come here yet, except that he wasn't at home last night, is there any other explanation?" ”
Tang Jingting got to the point, making it difficult for Yu Sisi to say it, so he could only put aside his face and hide the emotions on his face, "You know, your dad is busy with work." ”
Tang Jingting frowned deeply, "Busy with work, Mom, why do you bother to cover him, yesterday was the New Year, not to mention, what work should be done on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all night." ”
Yu Sisi took a deep breath and was silent, and shook his head helplessly after a long time, "Ting'er, forget it." ”
Forget it, how much unknown sadness is contained in it.
Tang Jingting was born with an indifferent temperament, and he only has a mother, which he values.
The atmosphere in the kitchen fell to freezing point for a while.
"Aunt Yu, Mr. Tang. ”
At this time, a soft voice interjected, pulling back the heavy hearts of the two, and when the two turned their heads, they saw Su Ruan Ruan holding on to the door, poking his little head in.
"It's Ruan Ruan. Yu Sisi put away her emotions.
Su Ruan Ruan straightened up and walked in, "Brother Tang Xi is hungry, Ruan Ruan was ordered to come and see for breakfast, are these all right?" she looked at the plate on the stage and asked.
Yu Sisi smiled and nodded, "Well, trouble Ruan Ruan is out." ”
Su Ruan Ruan curled her lips and smiled, "It's not troublesome." ”
Tang Jingting looked at his mother deeply, and the emotions in his eyes were distressed and helpless.
I feel sorry for my mother's endless dedication, but I am helpless for my mother's weakness.
Not long after a few people cleaned up the table and served breakfast, Tang Honghe came back from outside, and the family sat around with Harmony to eat the first breakfast of the new year.
Tang Jingting and the others only stayed in the Tang family's old mansion for one night, but Tang Honghe saw that they were happy, so he asked them to stay in the old mansion for two more days.
These days are a rare liveliness of the old house, a few juniors are happy, even Tang Honghe joins their team from time to time to play, and they play Monopoly with them, playing cards, they accompany the old man to play chess, occasionally playing mahjong.
The atmosphere of family fun is deep and pleasant.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they received a call from Jing Yi, who proposed that a few of them, and then call Xia En together, to go to the town below Jinling City, and open a new hot spring hotel, where the hot springs are excellent, and invite a few of them to go over for two days together.
Tang Xi is a playful character, he didn't think much about Jing Yi's proposal, and immediately agreed, Tang Jingting didn't have many ideas about soaking in hot springs, mainly looking at Su Ruan and Ruan sisters.
Su Ruan Ruan and Tang Xi have similar temperaments, and they are also happy to go.
So, the hot spring trip was finalized.
On the morning of the fourth day of the new year, several people packed their luggage and drove towards the hot spring hotel.
The four of them sat in a car, and Su Nguyen Nguyen and Su Nguyen Nguyen sat in the back seat.
The car drove slowly on the road, Su Ruan Ruan looked sideways out of the window, as he left Jinling City, there were more and more trees outside, and there were more and more open fields, Su Ruan Ruan looked at the pleasant scenery outside, they looked like they were going on a study trip.
She opened the window and leaned on the window, feeling the cool breeze and closing her eyes comfortably.
Tang Jingting drove the car, occasionally raised his eyes, and looked at the villain through the rearview mirror.
After about two hours of driving, the car arrived at its destination.
Several people got out of the car, Su Ruan Ruan looked at the hotel in front of him, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were shining with stars, "Wow, is this the hot spring hotel? It's so beautiful!"
The hot spring hotel is very large, and there is a small bridge and flowing water like a courtyard in front of it, and many places are made of wood, which looks ancient and beautiful.
Not long after they arrived, Shane's car drove by, the car was parked, and Shane walked down, and with Shane, there was another person.
From the passenger seat of Shane's car, a woman wearing a light blue fragrance suit with flowing straight hair stepped down, the woman was about twenty years old, and she looked beautiful and beautiful.
Su Nguyen Ruan had seen Xia En, but the woman next to Xia En, she had seen it for the first time.
