Chapter 46: Sisters
When he got home, it was already twilight, and Zhang Ruoyuan went directly to Rong'an Hall with his things. When I entered the house, my grandmother was discussing something closely with my third aunt. Seeing her come in, under the reminder of Liu's mother, the two glanced at each other and immediately changed the topic.
"The five girls are back. ”
Zhang Ruoyuan didn't break it in his eyes, handed over the shopping results of the afternoon in his hand to Zhang Ping's, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandmother, this is a small massager, you can put it where it is uncomfortable, it can automatically massage you." ”
As she spoke, she demonstrated how to use it, resting the massager on her grandmother's knee, and soon she felt a heat in her knee. Zhang Ping's eyes smiled because of this intention from his granddaughter, moved to the side and motioned for Zhang Ruoyuan to sit up, held her hand, and nodded: "Good boy." ”
Wei Xueyu saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were happy, and joked on the side: "Is there a third aunt?"
Zhang Ruoyuan pretended to be stunned and scratched his head: "I forgot." ”
"Okay, you little white-eyed wolf, you have eaten so many golden jujube cakes from the third aunt, but at this time, you have forgotten the third aunt completely, and you still don't spit out the pastries for me?" Wei Xue said with a smile, and her tone was sour.
When the goal was achieved, Zhang Ruo was willing to take out a small gift box like magic from behind him, put it in front of Wei Xueyu, and smiled skillfully: "How can you forget the third aunt?" I heard Ruoshui say that you can't sleep all night, and it's perfect to make a drink every night before going to bed. ”
Wei Xueyu couldn't close her mouth with satisfaction, "You ghost, full of brilliant ideas." ”
Zhang Ruoyi was holding the freshly baked coconut milk rolls, and as soon as she stepped into the threshold, she heard the laughter in the room, and immediately smiled: "It's Xiaoyuan back, right?"
"Sister!" Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Ruoyuan immediately got up and jumped up from the couch, and ran over with a puff of smoke. Zhang Ruoyi saw her sister's childish appearance, and couldn't help but tease Wei Xueyu.
"The third aunt is wrong, where is she a ghost spirit, she is clearly a monkey spirit, that jump just now, she has to be three feet high!"
"Sister!" Zhang Ruo puffed out his cheeks, holding up like a bun, with a sad face.
Zhang Ruoyi turned a blind eye, walked over directly and put the plate within reach of Zhang Ping and Wei Xueyu, invited the two elders to taste it first, and then picked up a piece of coconut milk roll and stuffed it into her mouth: "How is it? ”
The rich and silky taste of coconut milk and the delicious and sweet strawberry jam perfectly blended together, sweeping away the little depression in Zhang Ruoyuan's heart, she nodded again and again, and the chicken pecked at the rice: "Delicious!"
Zhang Ruoyuan closed his eyes and chewed, his expression was as intoxicated as a little squirrel, and the corners of his mouth were stained with more and more crumbs. Zhang Ruoyi was angry and funny, picked up a wet towel and wiped it carefully, seeing that she was still unsatisfied, she took a piece from the plate and instructed.
"You can only eat two pieces, not much. It's almost time for dinner, and I eat too much dim sum, and I won't be able to eat for a while. ”
Unexpectedly, the little sister paused with the action of holding the coconut milk roll, and her expression became sad, Zhang Ruoyi couldn't bear to touch her head: "If you don't have enough food, I'll make it for you tomorrow." ”
Zhang Ruoyuan's little face immediately changed to brilliance, no longer salivating at the plate, obediently ate the rest, and wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
Zhang Ping watched their sisters interact, as if they had endless words, and they didn't want to get in the way, so they waved their hands.
"Okay, the gift has been given, and the snacks have been tasted, so don't stick to it here. You two haven't seen each other for a few days, hurry back to Dexinju, you don't have to come here tonight. ”
When he got out of the door, Zhang Ruoyuan remembered that the gift he had prepared for his sister had fallen inside, and turned around and went back to get it. As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard his grandmother say to the third aunt in a low voice.
"Let Tingli be more attentive and see if any of his colleagues are suitable to introduce to Tingju. Generally, as a teacher, he can be trusted, we don't pick what his family background is, as long as he has a good character, he will be interested in the three children. ”
There was no sentence before or after, but Zhang Ruoyuan understood it. Grandmother is planning to look for a candidate for her father again, and she asks the third uncle to help each other, deliberately hiding for fear that their sisters will hear about it.
Zhang Ruoyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the matter between his father and Jia Yunshuang should be completely over.
In fact, what my grandmother didn't know was that she was not targeting her father's remarriage, but Jia Yunshuang. As long as it's not her, it doesn't make any difference to her who will be the one who will do this cheap stepmother.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoyuan withdrew silently, and caught up with his sister in front of him in three steps and two steps. Zhang Ruoyi saw that her hands were empty, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that something had fallen?"
Zhang Ruoyuan explained lightly: "It's a gift for you, when I went back just now, my grandmother and third aunt seemed to be talking about things, I didn't bother them, and it would be the same when I got it tomorrow." ”
"That's right, Xiaowan has grown up, and he knows that the courtesy is still exchanged. I have received so many things from my sister before, and I didn't say that I would send one back, what are you seeing this time?"
Zhang Ruoyi sighed, and thought about teasing her, Zhang Ruoyuan was extremely embarrassed to tilt her head.
"What's the matter, it's just that I accidentally saw a pair of keychains that are particularly cute, and we just bought one for each person. ”
Obviously, I was happy in my heart, but I had to pretend to be worried, at such a moment of testing her acting skills, Zhang Ruoyi took it as a guide, and reminded with a smile: "Then did you buy the eldest brother's share, he is so careful, if you know that we both have it, but without him, it is estimated that the family will be restless." ”
Zhang Ruoyuan has been brainwashed since she was a child, where did she think that her sister was lying to her, and she thought it was really sad when she heard Yanxin: "Oops, I really only bought two." She turned her head to her sister for help, and she wanted to cry without tears: "What should I do? I thought my brother wouldn't want something like this." ”
"Forget it, then let's keep it a secret and wear it secretly, so that he doesn't find out. ”
Zhang Ruoyi pretended to be nerve-wracking, but in fact she didn't know how to be happy. Thinking about waiting for one day when she is in a bad mood, she will take the keychain to her eldest brother for a walk, which is ironclad evidence that she ranks first in Xiaoyuan's heart!
Talking and laughing all the way back to Dexinju, and when I entered the house, Zhanxi had already prepared dinner, and the dishes were coming out with dishes and chopsticks. The sisters washed their hands and ate together. Zhang Ruoyuan absentmindedly ate a few bites of rice and looked up at Zhang Ruoyi.
"Sister, are you very busy?"
"Fortunately, when I first entered Jiatian, I was very busy, but then I gradually got used to it, and now I am starting to master it. ”
Zhang Ruoyi sandwiched a chopsticks of green rape and sent it to Zhang Ruoyuan's bowl, and raised her eyebrows lightly: "Why do you suddenly ask that?"
"Oh, I see you don't come home very often, and I'd love to know what you're doing. Zhang Ruo was willing to eat all the vegetables in the bowl without falling, so he replied unhurriedly. The plain and insipid tone made Zhang Ruoyi hear an unusual meaning.
The mother passed away early, and the eldest sister was like a mother, and the sisters grew up with each other for many years, and they were close to each other. But lately, she has been delayed in work, and she spends a lot less time with each other. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruoyi put down her chopsticks, touched Zhang Ruoyuan's head, and slowly spoke.
"My work at hand will be completed soon, and in a few days, my sister will take the time to accompany you on a trip. How about celebrating your high school career and entering college soon?"
"Tourism?"
Zhang Ruoyuan was challenging the chopsticks to hold hot tofu, and when he heard this, he didn't grasp the strength of his hand, and the tender tofu turned into a puddle of tofu soup in an instant. Seeing this, Zhang Ruoyi took a white porcelain spoon from her right hand and scooped it to her mouth, and her movements were extremely natural.
"You check the Internet these days to see where you want to play, and then we'll go together. ”
After three years of absence, for Zhang Ruoyuan, who has not eaten, chatted, or walked with his sister for a long time, it is inconceivable that everything is beautiful. Therefore, no matter where she goes, she is like a little tail, following her sister inch by inch, making Zhang Ruoyi cry and laugh.
At night, the two lay on the same bed, covering the summer cool quilt and chatting. I don't know how long I chatted, Zhang Ruoyi glanced at the clock on the wall, and then looked at Zhang Ruoyuan, who was excited and didn't feel sleepy at all, put on slippers and turned off the lights: "It's almost twelve o'clock, if you don't sleep again, you won't wake up tomorrow." ”
The three words of twelve, like the midnight spell of Cinderella's dream and reality, caused Zhang Ruoyuan to be full of excitement. It's almost twelve o'clock, doesn't that mean......
Immersed in the company of his sister all night, Zhang Ruoyuan remembered what would happen next, and hurriedly stopped Zhang Ruoyi from preparing to turn off the lights.
"Sister, do you want to sleep here?"
Zhang Ruoyi glanced at her suspiciously: "What's wrong? Don't we sleep together all the time?"
That's true, yes, but it's really different now! If you were in the same room with your sister, the secret would be exposed. Zhang Ruoyuan was about to sweat when he was nervous, and his face remained unchanged, quickly making up excuses in his mind, racking his brains to squeeze out a sentence.
"I ...... That's coming. ”
If she could, Zhang Ruoyi really wanted to roll her eyes: "Sister can still dislike you?"
"No, no, it's contagious. Zhang Ruoyuan bit her lip very embarrassedly, and without waiting for her sister to say anything, she directly hugged the quilt and prepared to run away.
"Sister, I'd better go to the guest room and sleep. ”
Although I don't know what my sister is awkward, but looking at her insistent look, Zhang Ruoyi really can't do anything about her. You can't occupy someone's room, and the host goes to sleep in the guest room, and in the end you can only compromise.
"Wait, I'm really afraid of you, obediently sleep in your room. ”
After his sister left, Zhang Ruoyuan lay flat on the bed and couldn't sleep. Sit up, take out the string of Buddhist beads from the drawer, put it in the palm of your hand, and sit quietly in a daze by the bright light.
Now she doesn't know what kind of mentality to face His Highness with. My sister is still alive, and if nothing else, he will become her brother-in-law as before.
How can this entangled situation be ended?
