At that time, it was close to zero o'clock, and I also thought about the time when Zhuang Yan came to pick me up, I had to let my grandmother remember it and let her know that I really wouldn't compromise this time.

I know my grandmother's temper very well, if she hadn't been soft-hearted again, she would never have told my aunt the address of her little home, maybe she already knew what kind of alcoholic cirrhosis my uncle had, and maybe she would persuade me to support the two of them in the future, after all, they have "kindness" to me.

So there is nothing wrong with my willfulness this time, and if you think about it carefully.

The only thing that made me feel guilty was tossing Zhuang Yan and asking him to run out to pick me up against the cold wind.

I didn't want to tell him about the bad things at home, so I repeatedly emphasized that I missed him: "I really want to think about it, so I can't help but come over." If you're not busy, can I spend the weekend with you?"

At that time, I simply thought that my grandmother was a little old and confused, and I didn't think of anything else, so I felt very uncomfortable.

I thought it wasn't terrible to be poor, but I thought that if I was willing to endure hardships and work hard, I would definitely be able to live better and better after graduation. But recently, I have been rejected by customers for telemarketing, and I have hardly received an order, and that frustration still makes me doubt my ability.

That's why I lost my temper the moment I saw my aunt, I was fed up with her endless relationship with my uncle, and even had a big opinion of my grandmother for the first time. But I have learned to hide it, and all this sadness has been hidden in my heart and not shown in front of Zhuang Yan.

"Today is my father's birthday, and a few relatives happen to be there, so I'll take you to meet them tomorrow. He slowed his tone, lowered his head and put his face on my face to test the temperature, and then couldn't help but start scolding me, "Your face is so cold, won't you go to the station and wait?"

He sighed and took me into the car, warmed my face with his warm hands for a while, then pinched my nose and continued to scold me: "I really can't control you anymore, why are you so disobedient now, hey." ”

My eyes were already sour, so I quickly sniffed and snorted: "I'm not your daughter, why bother me?"

He was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly pinched my cheek: "Little thing, is this thinking I'm old?"

I stuck out my tongue, and suddenly my mood improved: "Can I really see my uncle tomorrow?

Although I'm not afraid of life now, I'm still afraid of his father, and I feel scared from the bottom of my bones. Maybe the impression of being kicked out of the apartment by his father was too deep, I always felt that his father's indifferent eyes had a thorn in it, and every time I thought about it, I had a feeling of horror, and I even had similar nightmares several times.

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and touched my eyes, frowning helplessly and smiling: "Afraid of this?" Xixi, he is my father, not a man-eating tiger." ”

"But aren't you so scared by him that you are even afraid of the sound of smashing the cup?" I said this unconsciously, but the hand on my face suddenly tightened a little, I quickly hugged his neck, my heart beat so fast that it was not like words, "In the future, we will only buy cups that cannot be broken, I promise, in case of a quarrel one day, I will never drop anything." ”

He ruffled my hair, lowered his head and pecked me on the mouth: "Why are you so nervous? I know you know, didn't it write in the diary? If we quarrel in the future, we can't quarrel in front of the children." ”

My heart suddenly stopped beating for two seconds, and I stared at his side face for a long time, and I forgot all my worries sweetly

I got up early the next morning to wash up and get dressed, but to my annoyance, I only brought a change of clothes, and the weather in December was already quite cold, and I looked a little bloated no matter how I dressed.

I want to go to the mall to learn makeup, but I'm worried that his dad will think I'm the kind of person who can't live a good life with all the bells and whistles; I also want to go to the mall to buy a nice coat, but I don't have much money, and my basic salary in the financial management company is only more than 2,000 yuan, and I have to leave half of it for my grandmother every month as living expenses.

Although Zhuang Yan will still give me money, I am used to not using a penny. In the past, it was to prove that I was not greedy for his money, but now I feel that the amount in it symbolizes our feelings in a certain way, and it accumulates more and more.

Zhuang Yan never played too much on that card, because he knew that I would hardly use it, and playing too much would bring me a psychological burden.

He bought things early in the morning to bring me to his father's house, including nutritious products for the elderly, good tea, and snacks for Lele.

"My grandmother, sister-in-law and two aunts are here, my sister-in-law and *** attitude are still the same as before, the two aunts are more kind, don't be afraid, just meet for a meal, sooner or later, don't you?"

Actually, I was so nervous that I couldn't imagine what kind of bombardment I would face after a while, and the most important thing was that no one in their family supported us.

When I was about to get to his father's house, I couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, and kept arranging my hair and clothes, until Zhuang Yan reached over and patted me on the head, and I realized that I had unconsciously sorted it out five times.

He took my hand to his mouth and kissed it, "Sweaty, what are you doing so nervous?"

"What if they don't like me?" I regretted when I finished speaking, and quickly added, "I'll try not to make them hate me." ”

"It's enough that I like it. ”

When I arrived at his father's house, because there were a lot of things, my aunt took the initiative to help us carry things, and kept looking at me with a smile: "Zhuangzi, Xixi is really handsome." ”

Lele has been helping to bring this aunt almost since she was a child, and when I used to video with Lele, I thought she was kind, so I quickly smiled sweetly at her: "Auntie, you are so good." ”

Lele hid at the gate with his head exposed, blinking at us with his eyes wide open, and his small appearance was much more intelligent than the last time we met. As soon as she saw Zhuang Yan, she smiled sweetly, and opened her arms and was about to run out to beg for a hug: "Dad!"

Zhuang Yan frowned, and hurriedly rushed forward with his things: "Come in, it's cold outside." ”

"Daddy hug!" the little guy disobeyed, tilted his head and kept shouting with his little arms outstretched. That picture was so beautiful, I quickly took out my mobile phone and took a photo: Zhuang Yan looked down at her with drowning in his eyes, and Lele's eyes were bent into crescents.

He shook his head helplessly, and quickly squatted down and held Lele in his arms, and Lele immediately stuffed his little hand into his neck. I heard Zhuang Yan pretend to snort angrily: "My hands are so cold, I need to take an injection when I have a cold, does the injection hurt?"

When Zhuang Yan looked back at me, I quickly ran to their father and daughter with my things.

After following up, I found that everyone was having breakfast in the restaurant, everyone surrounded my grandmother in the most distinguished seat like a starry moon, and Zhuang Yan's father strode over and hugged Lele into his arms, and kept criticizing her for running around. Lele was not afraid of Zhuang Yan's father, giggling and shouting milkily in his ear: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa"

His cold face only tensed for a second before it collapsed, and he smiled and carried Lele back to the table.

However, Zhuang Yan's father didn't seem to see me at all, so after I glanced at Zhuang Yan, I quickly took the initiative to speak up respectfully: "Hello, uncle." ”

Zhuang Yan's father tilted his head slightly, but he didn't stop to talk to me.

There was an inexplicable embarrassment that suddenly spread in my heart, but Zhuang Yan still took my hand and pulled me to the restaurant to introduce them one by one. I smiled in what I thought was the most polite way I could and called out one by one.

Grandma's hair was gray, and she nodded at me very kindly. The sister-in-law reacted the same as Zhuang Yan's father, only bowed her head and drank porridge, as if she hadn't heard it at all. The sister-in-law still wanted to greet me after answering, but after being glared at by the sister-in-law, he stopped talking.

The two aunts were as Zhuang Yan said, they were indeed very kind and did not show any hostility towards me.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and my aunt added dishes and chopsticks to Zhuang Yan and me, and motioned for the two of us to accompany everyone to order food. But as soon as I sat down, my sister-in-law suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the table: "I can't eat, I'm full of gas." Brother, how can you come to an outsider in a dignified manner? Yaru and Zhou Jin came to you so sensibly yesterday to greet your birthday, I think Zhou Jin is not bad, he is a little older, but people are more productive now. ”

Grandma coughed suddenly, and after her smiling eyes slowly moved to her sister-in-law's face, her sister-in-law immediately stopped talking and didn't say anything more.

But Zhuang Yan's father's mood obviously deteriorated, he lowered his head and asked Lele in his arms if he was full, and then Gu Zi hugged the child and left.

I don't know if my smile was particularly stiff at that time, anyway, I didn't sit down, and quickly bowed slightly to my sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to affect your appetite, you eat slowly." Grandma, second aunt, second aunt, second aunt, and aunt I have already had breakfast, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll go out and wait first. ”

"Where are you going out, just sit here and eat with us. My aunt glanced at my sister-in-law and pulled me to sit down beside her without saying a word.

I quickly looked at Zhuang Yan, he nodded, sat down on my left hand, and patted my leg under the table to comfort: "Sister-in-law, where are the outsiders here? I have already proposed to Xixi, she is your future nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

He said this in a very ordinary tone, as if he was saying something perfectly normal. But my heart was warm when I heard it, and tears were about to come out.

I glanced at everyone in a hurry, all of them looking a little strange, only my grandmother was still smiling kindly as before.

It was still the sister-in-law who reacted the most, she opened her mouth in astonishment and looked at me and then at Zhuang Yan: "Are you serious? You didn't give an answer to that incident yesterday? You don't want your dad for such a little girl, right? Don't be confused!"

What happened yesterday? Why did my sister-in-law say this so seriously?
