Chapter 8: He's Coming

I finally walked to the door of the house with patience, but found that I didn't have a key or a mobile phone, so I threw aside the shoes I was carrying in my hand angrily, and the warmth in my eyes could no longer be suppressed.

At first, he whimpered, then tears rained down, and finally he buried his face in his arms and wept...

yes, I've endured it all night...

The sudden closeness of her father and the defensiveness in Jian Jiao's eyes should prove that what Lin Qin said is indeed the truth...

That home, she's just an outsider after all... Tools and that's it... Just for the sake of face...

……

The rain in the sky seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, ticking and ticking on the dense foliage. A little girl squatted in the flickering hallway, burying her head and crying, and occasionally heard a mutter: Mom...

"Squeak. The old security door next door opened, Jian Xin looked up, there were still a few drops of crystal beads on her long eyelashes, blinked a few times, swayed and dropped one or two, through the hazy water vapor, I vaguely saw an old lady wearing old-fashioned cloth slippers walked out, her hair was slightly gray, and her kind eyebrows and eyes made people feel particularly amiable,

"Little girl, you're soaking wet. The old man's voice was the same as hers, which made people feel kind, "Are you the owner of this house, there is no one in the house, you don't have the key, right?" Looking at Jian Xin's embarrassed appearance, it made the old man feel very distressed.

"Girl, I just moved in today. I wanted to say hello to you in the afternoon, but I don't see anyone at home. Can you rest assured that you will come into the house with me and sit down for a while?" Seeing Jian Xin's hesitation, the old lady immediately added, "I am the only one at home, an old lady and a little grandson, and the little grandson has just been transferred to the sixth grade of the first middle school attached to the primary school. ”

The old lady's empathy made Jian Xin a little embarrassed, and she nodded hurriedly, and just wanted to stand up, but found that she almost didn't fall because she had been squatting for a long time.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, come over and help people. The old lady shouted into the house.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" came the boy's hearty and energetic voice from inside, and as soon as the words landed, a thin boy ran out, with a small flat head, a pair of clear big eyes under two thick eyebrows, wearing an ordinary white T on his upper body, with a pair of knee-length pants covered with flower patterns, seeing the colorful and bright flowers, Jian Xin's eyes couldn't help but flutter,

Do you know what you're wearing, boy?

Seeing this, the sadness in Jane's heart seems to have been taken away by these big flower pants~

Seeing Jian Xin's eyes, the young man looked a little uncomfortable, but he didn't expect someone outside,

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up and help this sister into the house, you see that she is drenched all over, if you don't change into dry clothes this day, it is easy to catch a cold." Grandma said anxiously,

"Young people don't always rely on the foundation to spoil their bodies at will, hey... I'm going to see if there's any ginger in the house...", he said and went into the house.

It is a nagging unique to the elderly, but it makes Jian Xin listen to it very pleasantly and kindly.

The young man named Xiao Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help Jian Xin stand up, and helped her into the house when she felt that she could walk.

The old street lamps in the corridor are still flashing, sticking to their posts in this stormy night...

Xiao Xiao helped Jian Xin to sit at the dining table at the door, in fact, there is only this place in the house where people can sit. Because I just moved today, many boxes have not been opened, and some furniture is just casually placed in the living room waiting for the owner to put it.

"Little girl, hurry up and change the dirty clothes on your body," Grandma came out of the bedroom, still leading some clothes in her hands, but Jian Xin suddenly saw the familiar flower pattern with sharp eyes, and her eyes rolled, the same color as the young man's big pants...

Saying that, the old man also picked up his big pants: "These are the new ones I bought at a discount in the market two days ago, and they haven't been worn yet, so don't be suspicious, girl." You look at the shorts are still bright, you young people should wear brightly..."After speaking, he also glanced at his little grandson, very satisfied.

The two young men exchanged glances with each other at this time, and then the young man couldn't bear to turn his eyes, and Jian Xin silently took the clothes from the old man's hand...

So sometimes don't laugh at others, retribution comes quickly...

Jian Xin, who came out after changing her clothes, smelled a smell of ginger in the house, and there was no one in the living room, so she walked straight to the kitchen. The layout of the houses in this old community is similar, so Jian Xin is no stranger to it.

Both mother-in-law and grandson were in the kitchen, gurgling something on the stove.

Seeing Jian Xin, the old man instantly felt that his taste was still there, this big pants was really bought right at that time, and he regretted a little that he didn't buy more. But then again, the old lady thought that this little girl was indeed good-looking.

"Little girl..."

"Auntie, my name is Jian Xin, and my friends call me Xiaodan, because simple is very good. The care and care of the old man made Jian Xin unconsciously want to be close.

"Hahaha, it's really a blessing to be able to live a simple life..."The voice that has experienced the vicissitudes of life reveals a trace of thoroughness, and after living a lifetime, I found that it is a blessing to be able to live simply.

"This is my grandson, his name is Xiao Xiao, you can call me grandma with him. It seems that we are also destined to be neighbors. I felt that this little girl was very likable, and I didn't feel more caring in my words.

"You have to drink the ginger soup when it's ready, otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow." After saying that, he remembered something, "By the way, did you forget the key?... What about your mom and dad?

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Xin replied, "My family lives somewhere else. I'm currently in my second year of junior high school, and my grandson and you are also considered alumni. He smiled at the young man in the flower pants next to him, "Senior sister will cover you in the future." "Just... It's up to the same people who are in the end of the world.

After laughing, he said to his grandmother, "I went to someone else's birthday party today, and I forgot to bring my key..."

"Hahaha, children are forgetful. It's a bit late now, and I'm worried that the locksmiths are all off work. ”

I was only in junior high school and lived alone... I should have suffered a lot, grandma looked at Jian Xin's eyes with a hint of distress and warmth,

"Otherwise, you will stay here for one night tonight, and I will ask Xiao Xiao to call someone to pick the lock early tomorrow morning. ”

Jane thought about it, and it was all there was to be, so she nodded obediently.

"Xiao Xiao, go and clean up your house now, let Jian Xin live in your house today, and you can sleep on the sofa for the night. ”

"Don't bother, I'll sleep on the couch. "It's enough to trouble others tonight, how can you be embarrassed to let the old man's grandson sleep on the sofa, but she, an outsider, sleeps in the bed instead.

"It's not troublesome at all, I just moved today, and I was supposed to clean it up," the thorough and clean eyes revealed a little cunning, "You can rest assured, senior sister!"

Yo, this kid knows how to manage contacts at a young age, and sure enough, he can be taught.

Although you are welcome, I also helped Xiao Xiao clean up the sofa in the living room to ensure that Xiao Xiao would not be uncomfortable when he slept at night.

After drinking the ginger soup, I lay on the bed, and my heart was warm. The gardenia at the head of the bed wafted a faint fragrance, and Jian Xin soon fell asleep...

A good night's sleep...

Jian Xin was woken up hungry in a burst of thought, she didn't eat anything at all in the chaotic situation last night, and after another night of tossing, her stomach was already empty.

Xiao Xiao's room was next to the dining table, as soon as Jian Xin opened the door and came out, she saw her grandmother and Xiao Xiao sitting at the dining table looking at herself, thinking that she had slept until she woke up naturally, Jian Xin lowered her eyelids a little embarrassed, and said, "Morning, grandma,... Younger brother. ”

"Haha, just look at your face and know that you slept well last night, that's good. I'm worried you're going to have a fever today. ”

After speaking, he greeted her warmly, "Sit down and have breakfast, and boil some porridge." I wanted to wait for the porridge to cool down before calling you, but it's just right for you to get up now. ”

Jian Xin saw three bowls of porridge on the table, walked to the empty position and sat down. There are also steaming buns and brightly colored pickles on the table, which is really appetizing to watch.

Afraid that Jian Xin was restrained, grandma took a big meat bun and took a bite, blew the porridge, and drank a big sip of hulala... It's not enough, I took a bite of pickles and stuffed them in my mouth, and in an instant the buns, porridge and pickles fused together... Delicious!

Xiao Xiao looked at his grandmother, who was eating heroically, and thought to himself, could it be that today's buns are particularly delicious?

No, boys should pay attention to their image when eating. I still ate slowly and methodically according to the dining etiquette I learned before.

Jian Xin looked at the mother-in-law and grandson, and gradually relaxed. I took a bite of a bun, and I ate the meat filling in one bite, it seems that I really wrapped it myself, and there are more than what I bought outside. I picked up the porridge in front of me again, blew it, took a sip, the thick one was particularly delicious, and I sandwiched a little pickle with it in the porridge, and the salty aroma of the pickles highlighted the sweetness of the white porridge, and I couldn't stop eating it.

After a meal, Jian Xin drank two bowls of porridge and ate two steamed buns. If it weren't for the loose clothes that grandma took yesterday, I would definitely be able to see her round belly at the moment...

Jian Xin was a little embarrassed about her good appetite, and helped Xiao Xiao clean up and wash the dishes together.

Grandma sat on the chair with satisfaction and watched the two children busy in the kitchen, the old man felt that the children could eat means that they were blessed, and she ate happily, which was the greatest praise for her, the cook, how could she not be happy! The corners of Grandma's mouth were grinning like crescent moons, and Jian Xin, the child entered her eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

The mobile phone rang on the dinner table, and grandma hurriedly shouted,

"Xiao Xiao, come and answer the phone. It must be the locksmith who came. She asked Xiao Xiao to call someone before eating.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, it must be the locksmith.

Xiao Xiao wiped his hands and trotted open the door,

Seeing that Master was still making a phone call with a mobile phone hanging in his ear, "Master, are you calling? ”

"Eh, okay, okay. He hung up the phone. Last night's heavy rain did not lower the temperature in the city, it is still hot today, and the master's head is still covered with beads of sweat.

"Have you already unlocked the lock?" came back to his senses, and the master looked at the young man who opened the door with some astonishment,

Knowing that the master should have misunderstood, "It's not this door," Xiao Xiao politely explained, "It's the one next door that needs to be unlocked." ”

In a few moments, the door opened. Jian Xin looked at the familiar room and thought about the scene where she couldn't enter the house last night, and she was still a little emotional.

Jian Xin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly rushed to the door, Xiao Xiao had already sent the master to the staircase and walked back.

"Xiao Xiao?"

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at her in confusion.

"How much does that lock pick cost?"

It turned out to be this, Xiao Xiao said with relief, "Grandma said that there is not much money, you don't have to worry about it." ”

It's false to say that you are not moved, Pingshui can do this, Jian Xin is really moved...

It seems that God is still merciful and left a window for her...

Feeling that she couldn't go, Jian Xin said, "Then, then, I'll wash up first, and I'll clean up the house with you later." After saying that, he closed the door and went straight to wash...

Xiao Xiao: ......
