Chapter 106: Sacrifice
Su Ruan Ruan instinctively looked at it, and her face changed slightly.
It's Tang Honghe.
She and Mr. Tang are here, as if they are in a panic of being caught, "Grandpa......
"Grandpa. ”
The two of them called out separately.
Tang Honghe's eyes swept back and forth over the two of them, and he said slowly: "What are you two doing here." The voice was low, with a hint of majesty.
In the face of such a serious Tang Honghe, Su Ruan Ruan was in awe.
Jing Ting was about to go back to the room, and happened to meet Ruan Ruan and asked how she was recovering from her injuries. Tang Jingting said calmly.
Tang Honghe's old lips tugged, looking at the two of them with meaningful expressions.
"Ahem...... he covered his lips and coughed softly, "it's not too early, you two wounded soldiers should go back to their respective places and go to bed early." ”
Su Ruan Ruan pursed her lips and nodded obediently, "Ruan Ruan knows, let's go back to the room, Mr. Tang, grandpa, good night." She didn't dare to linger longer, and after saying a word, she hurried away.
Tang Honghe squinted, looked at his grandson who had never moved his gaze away, and after a long time, he said slowly, "You should go back too." ”
Tang Jingting slowly retracted his gaze, "Grandpa also rested earlier." With that, he walked straight away.
Tang Honghe stared at Tang Jingting until the figure disappeared completely, then slowly withdrew his gaze, dragged his slow steps, and walked towards the room.
……
Following.
Su Ruan Ruan didn't see Tang Jingting in the old mansion, "Aunt Yu, isn't Mr. Tang at home?
He's always taken his business seriously, but his injuries aren't healed yet.
Yu Sisi shook his head, "I don't know, I'm also wondering, I'll call Jing Ting in a while and ask." ”
Su Ruan nodded lightly.
And one morning, Su Ruan Ruan also found that Tang Honghe was not there.
Neither grandnor grandchild is there.
Yu Sisi told her that Tang Honghe had gone out to play chess with his old friends.
Chess hall.
Fresh, elegant and quiet, each with a separate booth private room, isolated from external interference, allows people to have enough time to think quietly.
Tang Honghe sat in a private room, with a carved blue and white Sancai bowl in his hand, and a lacquered wood chessboard in front of him, on which was an unfinished chess game.
Tang Honghe stared at the game on the chessboard, his brows furrowed and he thought deeply.
After thinking about it, he picked up a sunspot in the chess jar, held it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it, "Why did Lao Li go to the bathroom for so long." He muttered to himself.
Suddenly.
The blue and white Sancai bowl at hand was picked up, and then the porcelain white Sancai bowl with a carved landscape painting fell again, and the half-covered bowl wafted out the aroma of tea, which was his favorite tea fragrance.
Tang Honghe subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw the person in front of him, he was slightly stunned.
"Jing Ting, why are you here?"
Tang Jingting was dressed in a clear gray cotton casual suit, and he sat down opposite Tang Honghe.
Tang Honghe frowned, "What are you kid doing, get up, that's your Grandpa Li's position, he came back after a while, and saw that someone took his place, but he was going to be angry." ”
Tang Jingting's face was pale, and he smiled lightly, "Grandpa, Grandpa Li has something to do at home temporarily, so go back first, this chess game, your grandson will accompany you." ”
Tang Honghe looked at Tang Jingting, suspicious, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"You come with me? Your injury is not healed, why don't you take care of your injury at home, what are you doing when you run out. Tang Honghe's reproachful tone was interspersed with concern.
Tang Jingting casually put his coat aside and looked at the chess game on the chessboard, "Is it grandpa's turn now?"
Tang Honghe pursed his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, and after looking at the chess game, he dropped the sunspot in his hand.
Tang Jingting played with Tang Honghe on this half of the chess game.
Half of the chess game was quickly played, and Tang Honghe won.
The two started the game again.
Tang Honghe is a chess veteran, and Tang Jingting's chess skills were also taught by Tang Honghe since childhood.
"Grandpa, there is a saying, my grandson thinks it is very right, playing chess is like life. Tang Jingting said.
Tang Honghe's attention was on the chessboard, "What do you want to say." ”
Tang Jingting twisted the chess pieces and chuckled, "It's nothing, I just think it's right, what does grandpa think?"
"Well, the chess game is complicated, and so is life, there is nothing wrong with taking the chess game as life, sometimes life is more complicated than this chess game. Tang Honghe said.
"The person who controls black and white is like two people who have experienced life, and each person is walking his own life. ”
Tang Honghe dropped a son and looked at Tang Jingting.
When it was Tang Jingting's turn to fall, he scanned the overall situation with his eyes, fell, and also ate a few of Tang Honghe's chess pieces.
Tang Honghe's eyebrows furrowed.
"The person who controls the chess pieces is the master of life, and no one can meddle in at will, otherwise, this game of chess will be meaningless, grandpa, you say, right?"
How could Tang Honghe not hear what Tang Jingting was saying, he didn't make a sound, he just stared at the chess game.
"I'll eat these children," Tang Honghe dropped a son, then picked up a few of the surrounding children, and started slowly, "Jingting, you are distracted, and you have lost a lot." ”
Tang Jingting's face was calm, "Well, whether you win or lose is my own game." ”
"You have something to say, just say what you want. The old man spoke.
"Grandpa knows what his grandson wants to say. He said.
Tang Honghe let out a chuckle and dropped the chess pieces, "You want to tell grandpa that this chess game is like your own life, and your life is in your own hands, you want to persuade grandpa to agree to you and Ruan Yatou." ”
Tang Jingting and Tang Honghe glanced at each other and did not deny it.
After a moment, Tang Honghe raised his eyebrows and looked at "What if I don't agree all the time?"
Tang Jingting looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the overall situation had been decided.
He dropped his son and ate Tang Honghe's son, with a shallow smile on his thin lips, "Grandpa, you lost." ”
Tang Honghe lowered his eyes, looked at the chess pieces that had no power to return to the sky, frowned, and Tang Jingting then said: "Grandpa is a foregone conclusion, it can't be changed, and whether it is an outsider or the other party, it is impossible to try to control the other side's chess game, are you right?"
The implication is obvious.
Tang Honghe looked at it and sighed lightly, and said slowly, "You really like Ruan Yatou so much?"
Tang Jingting lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he bowed his head lightly, "Well, I like it." ”
Tang Honghe was silent for a long time.
"Grandpa is still down?" Seeing that Tang Honghe was silent for a long time, Tang Jingting asked in a loud voice.
Tang Honghe pursed his lips, "Of course, let's have another plate." ”
Tang Jingting looked at Tang Honghe's expression and smiled knowingly.
The old mansion of the Tang family.
Yu Sisi was busy in the kitchen.
Although there is no shortage of servants in the old house, Yu Sisi likes to study cooking skills when he is free on weekdays.
Su Ruan Ruan had nothing to do, so she went over and learned to cook stir-fried snacks with Yu Sisi.
"Aunt Yu, you try this. Su Ruan Ruan handed the mixed dim sum filling to Yu Sisi, and Yu Sisi picked up the chopsticks and twisted a little.
"It's salty, and the sugar is less," he said, scooping a spoonful of sugar into the basin, "Adjust this filling, sugar accounts for more than salt, you know?"
Su Ruan Ruan humbly learned, nodded, and took Yu Sisi's words to heart.
After Yu Sisi checked the filling, he looked at Su Ruanruan's kneading noodles again, and frowned, "This is too dry, Ruan Ruan, you have to ...... like this"
Yu Sisi patiently taught and demonstrated to her.
"You see, isn't the dough that comes out like this much softer? ”
"Well, it's still Aunt Yu who is amazing!" Su Ruan Ruan smiled and continued the following process.
Yu Sisi chuckled, "Practice makes perfect, when I first made it, it was even worse than you, the stuffing that came out was simply unpalatable, and then I made more, and I mastered the dosage, you take your time, and you will learn." ”
Su Ruan Ruan smiled and nodded.
The two were busy in the kitchen, talking and laughing.
When the dim sum was taken out of the oven, it exuded heat and aroma, and Su Ruan Nguyen sniffed vigorously, "It's so fragrant." ”
There is a more obvious difference between her and Yu Sisi's appearance, looking at her slightly ugly cake, she pouted, and hers doesn't seem to be very appetizing.
"Ruan Ruan, if you don't look good, it doesn't mean that the taste is bad, you'll know if you try it later, huh?" Yu Sisi comforted Su Ruan.
At that moment, there was movement at the door, and they heard the sound of the servant greeting outside.
It was Tang Jingting who came back.
Su Ruan Ruan was holding the freshly placed dim sum and subconsciously walked out of the kitchen.
Tang Jingting walked to the entrance of the dining room and saw a little girl standing with a white porcelain plate.
"Mr. Tang. ”
"As soon as I came back, I heard your clanging voices, what are you doing?" Tang Jingting walked in front of Su Ruanruan.
"Ruan Ruan and Aunt Yu learn to make dim sum, this is freshly baked dim sam, Mr. Tang can taste it?" she asked, holding the porcelain plate.
Tang Jingting lowered his eyes and looked at the dim sum on the porcelain plate, and at a glance he could see which one was from the little girl's craftsmanship.
He picked up a piece, "Eh, Mr. Tang, this piece ......" Su Ruan Ruan saw that he was taking what she made, her eyebrows curled, and she was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong? you can't eat it?" the man said.
Su Ruan Ruan pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's not that you can't eat it...... It's just that this was not done by Aunt Yu, it was ...... Nguyen Nguyen did ...... Probably not so good......"
"I like what you do. The man said as he passed the pastry into his mouth.
His straightforward words made Su Ruan Ruan panic, and when she raised her eyes to see Tang Honghe walking over, her panic felt extremely accelerated, "Grandpa......"
Tang Honghe's face was gloomy, there was no extra emotion, and he looked at the two, "What is this?" ”
Yu Sisi happened to come out, saw the three of them, and saw the tense emotions on Su Ruan Ruan's face, and was busy playing the round, "Dad, you're back, no, Ruan Ruan and I learned to make pastries, just out of the oven, dad can taste it?"
Tang Honghe blinked, his eyes looked around the white porcelain plate, and among the pastries with different levels of appearance, he chose a beautiful one.
"Dad, does it taste okay?" asked Yu Sisi.
Tang Honghe nodded while eating, "Well, it tastes good, it's the appearance of this plate of pastries, the levels are different, the beautiful is very beautiful, not beautiful, not beautiful." ”
Su Nguyen Nguyen ......
"What looks good and what doesn't look good is all about taste, and if it tastes good, it's a success. Tang Jingting said.
Tang Honghe laughed, glanced at Tang Jingting, then looked away, turned around and walked towards the staircase, and while walking, he leisurely threw down a sentence, "As long as it is made by Ruan Yatou, you like it." ”
Tang Honghe's words echoed around, until Tang Honghe's figure gradually disappeared into the corner of the corridor, Su Ruan Ruan still did not come to his senses.
Yu Sisi was also stunned when she heard Tang Honghe's words, and both of them looked at Tang Jingting with deep doubts in their eyes.
"What are you doing looking at me so stupidly?" Tang Jingting looked at the little girl in front of him, raised his big palm lightly, and stroked the little girl's little face.
The intimate behavior made Su Ruan Ruan even more panicked, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
At lunchtime, the atmosphere was not the same as before.
Tang Jingting sat directly on Su Ruanruan's right hand.
In the past, their position was like this, but after Tang Honghe knew about the relationship between the two of them, the position where the two of them ate at the same table was forced to change, and Tang Honghe did not allow Su Ruan Ruan to sit next to Tang Jingting.
And now......
For Tang Jingting's move, Tang Honghe saw it, but he didn't reprimand.
"Ruan girl. ”
Su Ruan Ruan suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Tang Honghe, "Grandpa." ”
"If you're still more used to Rancho Nine Creek, move back in the next two days. Tang Honghe lowered his head and drank the soup and said.
Tang Honghe's words made several people at the dinner table look sideways, Su Ruanruan, Su Ruan Ning and Yu Sisi were all surprised and stunned.
"Grandpa...... What do you mean...... Nguyen Nguyen ...... Can you go back to Rancho Jiuxi to live?" asked Su Ruan Ruan in disbelief.
"What, you don't want to?" Tang Honghe raised his eyes slightly.
Su Ruan pursed her lips.
How could she not want to.
It's just that......
Grandpa asked her to move to the old mansion in order not to let her get too close to Mr. Tang, and now she ......
Grandpa, what does this mean, she is really confused, her doubts are knotted, and she doesn't dare to guess.
"I know, forcing you to live here, your heart is not happy," Tang Honghe waved his hand, "I'm an old man, I'm used to being clean, you young people always have to have room to be alone." ”
Tang Honghe said this, his eyes scanned over Su Ruan Ruan and Tang Jingting.
This is already very clear.
"Dad, do you mean ......" Yu Sisi looked at the two, "Agree with Jing Ting and Ruan Ruan?"
Tang Honghe snorted, "What's the use of disagreeing? I don't want to be called old-fashioned at my age." ”
Tang Honghe's words instantly relieved the emotions on the faces of several people, although Yu Sisi was surprised, but in the end he was happy for Su Ruan Ruan and Tang Jingting.
"Grandpa......" Su Ruan Ruan looked at Tang Honghe, she didn't know what to say for a while, and all her emotions turned to this sentence...... Grandfather.
"Okay, Ruan girl, your grandfather, you can't change it in the future. ”
Everyone laughed.
The atmosphere at the table changed from calm to harmonious, and the laughter continued.
Su Ruan Ningwang looked at Su Ruan Ruan, who was smiling brightly beside her, her little face sank, and the food she ate in her mouth had no taste.
……
The music filled the room and never stopped.
Suddenly! In the part of the music that is accented at the end, suddenly, abruptly.
The person who was standing in the center and dancing quickly, spun in circles, suddenly stopped, and she looked at it.
Wu Yongmei frowned, clasped her hands around her chest, and walked in front of Su Ruan Ning.
"Aunt Mei. ”
Su Ruanning's face was covered with sweat, and her breathing fluctuated.
"Practice in moderation, that's what I told you when I first taught you to dance. Wu Yongmei said.
Su Ruan Ning licked her dry lips, "Ruan Ning knows." ”
"You know, if you know, then what were you doing just now?" Wu Yongmei Zhengse, "Dancing requires a lot of time and energy to practice, but no matter how it is, it should also be moderate, you must have enough rest time, and if you rest well, you can better practice the perfect dance, Ruan Ning, today has seriously exceeded the standard, if it weren't for me coming, how long would you have to practice?"
Su Ruan Ning was silent, her eyes drooping slightly, with deep emotion.
Wu Yongmei looked at it and handed her a bottle of mineral water, "Replenish some water." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Mei. Su Ruan Ning took the mineral water, and the slightly cool water went straight down her dry throat, relieving the dry discomfort.
"What's going on, you're in such a bad mood?" asked Wu Yongmei.
Su Ruan Ning held the bottle with one hand and tightened the lid with the other, she shook her head, "It's nothing." ”
"Ruan Ning, do you think you can hide it from Aunt Mei? Aunt Mei watched you grow up, your dance was also taught by me from scratch, in addition to the dance can show a pleasing posture, the dancer can convey emotions when dancing, including when practicing, I just watched you outside for a long time, your face is tense, and the dance steps are also very heavy, it is clear that you are venting the emotions in your heart with dancing. ”
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Talk to Aunt Mei, maybe Aunt Mei can help you figure out a way. Wu Yongmei patted Su Ruan Ning's shoulder and said.
Su Ruan Ning took a deep breath and shook her head, "It's okay Aunt Mei, don't worry too much, it's just a little friction with your classmates at school, and isn't this going to be the final?" Ruan Ning ...... Nervous. ”
Wu Yongmei's eyebrows moved, "Getting along with classmates at school, friction is inevitable, but Ruan Ning, you have always been excellent, and you have a good temperament, these little frictions Aunt Mei believes that you can handle it, as for the finals," she chuckled, "Take it easy, don't put so much pressure on yourself, the greater the pressure, the easier it is to make mistakes, you just treat it as an ordinary performance, enjoy the fun of dancing, is the most important thing, do you know." ”
Su Ruan Ning smiled and nodded, "Well, I know." ”
Wu Yongmei took a deep breath, "Okay, it's not early today, let's go back early." ”
"Well, Aunt Mei will lock the door in a while, and I will stay alone for a while. She said.
Wu Yongmei didn't want to force her more, so she agreed, "Then I'll go first, but Ruan Ning, you can't continue to practice, otherwise the practice will damage your body and delay the finals, Aunt Mei is the only one who asks." ”
After Wu Yongmei left the dance studio, Su Ruan Ning sat alone in the classroom for half an hour before getting up to leave.
When Su Ruan Ning returned to the Tang family's old house, she heard laughter coming from inside before she entered the living room.
When I walked in, there were Su Ruanruan, Tang Jingting and Tang Xi in the living room.
The three of them were playing puzzle games, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, Su Ruan Ning's eyes fell on Su Ruan Ruan's smiling little face, and the soft light came down, and the smile seemed to be even brighter.
"Sister, you're back!"
"Well," Su Ruan Ning said with a smile on her face, "you're so lively." ”
Su Ruan Ruan smiled, "Brother Tang Xi and I are pulling Mr. Tang to play games, do you want to be together?"
Su Ruan Ning chuckled and shook her head, "I won't participate, I've practiced dancing for most of the day today, and I'm very tired." ”
Su Ruan Ning said this, and Su Ruan Ruan didn't force her much.
Su Ruan Ning glanced at the three of them, and after greeting Tang Xi and Tang Jingting, she walked upstairs.
"Ah, Mr. Tang lost, he wants to draw a turtle!"
"Ruan girl, my second brother's handsome appearance will be ruined like you!"
"No, it won't affect Mr. Tang's handsome appearance no matter what!"
"Ruan girl, you are called a lover!"
Su Ruan Ning walked upstairs, and around the corner, she looked downstairs, and the laughter of the people below was piercing, and the smiles were piercing.
As the night wore on, it was quiet.
There was a knock on the door to Su Nguyen's room.
"Sister?"
"I haven't slept yet. Su Ruan Ning walked into Su Ruan Ruan's room in cotton wool pajamas.
"Well, not yet, sister, what's the matter?"
"I've run out of face cream, do you have any more? Lend me some. Su Ruan Ning said.
Su Ruan Ruan nodded hurriedly, took out the face cream from the drawer and handed it to Su Ruan Ning.
Su Ruan Ning was wiping and chatting with Su Ruan Ruan.
"Ruan Ruan, congratulations, the matter with Mr. Tang has finally come to an end, and now grandpa will no longer obstruct your affairs. Su Ruan Ning said in a loud voice.
At the mention of this, Su Ruan Ruan's little face couldn't help but overflow with joy, and nodded, "Well, Ruan Ruan didn't expect that Grandpa suddenly agreed, but Ruan Ruan was really happy." ”
Su Ruan Ning pursed her lips and sighed heavily, a faint hint of worry appeared on her face, Su Ruan Ruan looked at it, a little worried, "Sister, what's wrong? ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional, I didn't expect our Ruan Ruan to find someone I like one step ahead of my sister, and I don't know where my sister's favorite person is. Su Ruan Ning said.
"Sister is not in a hurry, the person my sister likes will definitely appear by my sister's side at the right time!" Su Ruan Ruan said.
"Sister, you may not be as lucky as Ruan Ruan," Su Ruan Ning patted Su Ruan Ruan's face, "Ruan Ruan, you said that if my sister met that person one day, but ...... It's not going well with him, will you help your sister?" she asked.
Su Ruan Ruan did not hesitate at all, and nodded, "Of course, I will help my sister at any time, if there is a need for Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan will definitely help my sister get happiness!"
Su Ruan Ning chuckled, "I agreed so quickly, what if this favor is not easy to help, or what does it take you to sacrifice?"
Su Ruan Ruan didn't think much about it, and nu pursed her lips, "It's not good, Ruan Ruan will do his best to help, if you really want Ruan Ruan to sacrifice something, Ruan Ruan will too." ”
"Really, you didn't lie to your sister?"
"Well, my sister is my favorite sister and Ruan Ruan's only relative, and what Ruan Ruan does for her sister is what she should do. ”
Su Ruan Ning turned her head, a slight coolness appeared in her eyes, and her voice floated softly, "Yes...... We are the only relatives who are connected by blood, and these ...... It's all as it should be......"
Su Ruan Ning's voice was very soft, and Su Ruan Ruan didn't hear her words clearly.
