I hesitated a little, and Mr. Zhuang immediately saw my hesitation: "Afraid of others gossiping?"

I nodded and told him truthfully: "I'm not afraid of others talking about me, I'm afraid that others will point fingers at my grandmother, and she will not be able to stand it when she is old." Mr. Zhuang, I ......"

He pressed my lips with the tip of his thumb and blocked the rest of my words: "Well, the old man's life is not easy, I am not sensitive to this little thing, I don't need to explain so much." ”

His personal RV has been transferred to Zhao Yaru, and this time he came to drive their company's car. I was afraid that his car would be stolen, so I finally suggested that he park the car in front of Aunt Tian Hua.

Aunt Tian Hua had seen Mr. Zhuang, and when she saw me holding a flower in her hand, she immediately showed a look of sudden realization. She frowned and glared at me, but still welcomed Mr. Zhuang warmly.

He was not cramped at all, and took some gifts from the trunk of the car and gave them to Aunt Tian Hua, which made Aunt Tian Hua smile.

My grandmother still didn't seem to like me standing with him, so she hurriedly finished making the meatballs and went home.

Mr. Zhuang looked at me, took something from the trunk and followed me home. On the way, I was afraid that my grandmother would say something unpleasant in front of him, so I discussed with him to find a suitable opportunity to tell my grandmother the reason why we met.

But he refused without thinking about it: "Xixi, your grandmother is old, and she has lived in a relatively closed environment all her life, and she can't accept that kind of thing." Later, my father agreed to hand over his daughter to me, and then I thought about telling your grandmother, and the old man will only think about it when he sees the child. ”

"That'...... I've wronged you, my grandmother has a knot in our affairs. ”

He looked at me amusedly, and shook his head helplessly: "You have survived being scolded so much at school, what happened to me being said by your grandmother? Xixi, you are questioning my ability." ”

Grandma really didn't give Mr. Zhuang a good look, but she still made a small bowl of sugar water for Mr. Zhuang.

Grandma sighed when she saw the things he carried: "Hey, don't buy such expensive things in the future, I don't have that mouth." She said holding me with one hand and Mr. Zhuang with the other, and took the initiative to put our hands together, "Xixi has suffered with me since she was a child, if you really feel sorry for her, you must always be good to her in the future." ”

I almost choked up when I heard my grandmother's words, she always felt that her daughter was not responsible for raising me well, so she always felt guilty about me, but she didn't know how grateful I was to her. If it weren't for her, I would have frozen to death and starved to death, where can I live well to this day.

The atmosphere that night was a bit solemn, and when I was cooking dinner for Mr. Zhuang, my grandmother kept pulling him to talk, and he was not impatient, and was always chatting with him.

In the evening, his grandmother asked him to go to Aunt Tian Hua's house to sleep, but he did not agree: "Xixi's uncle-in-law may come back, it is better for me to stay at home and take care of it." ”

When my grandmother heard him say this, she immediately felt that it made sense.

But I don't agree, Aunt Tian Hua's house is warm and comfortable, and my room is a little cold, I am reluctant to let him sleep here.

But I had the least say among the three of us, and I had to help him make an extra quilt after my grandmother nodded. I couldn't sleep at night, and I was always worried that the bed board would be too hard and he would be frozen or that the room would be too cold.

When my grandmother fell asleep, I tiptoed back to my room to see if he was sleeping soundly.

As a result, I just wanted to help him tuck the quilt, but he suddenly held my hand, and under the faint light of the mobile phone, I saw a pair of bright eyes staring at me: "Your hands are so cold?"

I quickly pulled my hand out: "My hands and feet have always been like this, and I can't get hot until midnight in winter." ”

He didn't say anything, just suddenly moved into the bed and patted the empty seat next to him: "I'll help you with it." ”

I wanted to go, but he pulled me into the bed very strongly, and without saying a word, he put my two cold paws into his arms, and the two legs clamped my feet very decisively. I heard him gasp in the cold, but he couldn't get out.

"Women are prone to cold, so pay more attention in the future. ”

"Mr. Zhuang, why haven't you slept yet?" His body was as warm as a stove, and there was a steady stream of heat pouring into my hands and feet, so it didn't take long for me to get hot.

"I'm thinking about the next thing. Xixi, I can't accompany you for the New Year, I have to rush back tomorrow, my daughter just had a cold in the past two days, and I'm a little worried. ”

"How tall is Lele, will you call your mother?" I don't mention when he doesn't mention his daughter, I don't know much about my daughter's situation, in fact, I especially want to know the details of her growing up, but I always feel that every time he mentions his daughter, he likes to flash.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhuang took the initiative to kiss me after a faint "um", which is the end of the topic.

I stayed for a while and then went back to my grandmother's room, and although she was tiptoeing, she seemed to be awake. I heard her sigh twice, but she didn't criticize me after all.

Early the next morning, the counselor's classmates called me, and I told him that I couldn't accept them, and asked him to bring them back to his house for the New Year, for which I lied: "The counselor agreed." ”

But he didn't appreciate it at all, and laughed and said that I was too clumsy to lie: "Come out quickly, I've already arrived in your village, and if you don't come out to pick me up, I'll have to ask from door to door." ”

I have to say that the counselor and his classmates were really good, so I had to go out and lead people and cars to the door of Aunt Tian Hua.

Aunt Tian Hua didn't mind me carrying things to her house at all, and said with a smile that my luck was getting better and better. When Mr. Zhuang came over to help, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

I secretly told Mr. Zhuang the origin of those boxes, I originally wanted him to find a good way to help me refuse, but I didn't expect him to mutter: "Then take it, thank you counselor for being so considerate of the students." ”

The counselor's classmates stared at the hands we were holding together and smiled, and when they looked at me again, there was a little more banter and contempt in their eyes. However, he didn't say anything drastic, but stared at Mr. Zhuang's face for a while: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the general manager of Zhuang Yanzhuang?" I really didn't expect the world to be so small, I can actually meet you here, I will be lucky!"

Although his words seemed to be complimenting people, his demeanor was not like this, but it was like the two had made a feud.

I glanced at Mr. Zhuang, who frowned slightly, but still shook hands with the counselor's classmates politely.

After the others left, Mr. Zhuang looked at the boxes of things, there were fruits, ham and nuts, and they could indeed be kept for the New Year, but as soon as they looked at the packaging, they knew that those things were not cheap.

Mr. Zhuang knew what I was worried about, and sighed helplessly: "My Xixi is remembered, and I have a sense of crisis." ”

My heart moved slightly, and I quickly grinned at him: "I made some money during the winter vacation, and I paid the counselor after the school started." ”

Mr. Zhuang did not say no, and after leaving two boxes of things for Aunt Tian Hua, he moved the rest of the things home. He said that he didn't buy things for the New Year before, so when he came, he didn't have these boxes of things to buy, so let me and my grandmother use them first, and when school started, he would help me thank the counselor.

It was a very normal tone, but I heard a hint of gunpowder.

When I was moving things, someone in the village saw it, and I left after saying a few words, which made me feel uneasy. But in order not to worry Mr. Zhuang, I didn't say anything to him.

He came all the way to wish me a happy birthday, and this intention made me want to cry, and the birthday experience I had when I was beaten by my uncle when I was a child seemed to be really gone. I think that when I think of my birthday in the future, I should think of Mr. Zhuang's smile under the fireworks, which is very pure and beautiful.

Not long after he left, several of his uncle's creditors blocked the door. One of them also wanted to move the things sent by the counselor, but was stopped by an uncle Qian who came with him: "I'm going to die, what are you doing bullying the old woman and the little girl?"

"Mom, has your son-in-law ever come back? These things weren't sent back by your son-in-law, right?"

I looked at them sullenly, and couldn't help but pull my grandmother behind me: "Uncle, when have you ever seen my brother-in-law so filial? It's good if he doesn't come back to steal money, we don't expect him to buy things and send them back." ”

Several of them looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed.

I'm telling the truth, they often gamble with their uncles, and they know their character's character better than I do.

They didn't continue to embarrass my grandmother and me, they walked around our house casually, and walked to the door of the house and looked inside a few times before clapping their hands and preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Uncle Qian spoke as a representative: "Mom, your son-in-law won't pay us back any of the money he owes, if he comes back, I hope you don't cover it up, we just break one of his legs." ”

"Hehe, Shen Xi, have you made a fortune outside, why are there still big cherries now?" a man pointed to one of the boxes and smiled, and my grandmother looked at me, and quickly smiled and went over to open the box for him to grab a handful of food.

As a result, they each grabbed a handful before leaving, but I stared at my grandmother's back and felt sour. When I was not at home, they should have come to me like this, and I don't know how scared my grandmother was at that time.

But what makes me glad is that my grandmother never said that she would help her husband pay back, and I never thought of helping him pay it back. He's a bottomless pit, and we can't let go of it.

But maybe the news that our family had bought good things was spread, and the next night my uncle actually ran back with my aunt secretly. Both of them looked very depressed, and their aunt's jacket had two holes in it.

Grandma felt sorry for her, locked the door and asked them if they had eaten, and cooked something for them to eat.

My uncle-in-law was as polite as ever, and as soon as he got home, he turned over the boxes of fruit ham with Erlang's legs, and glanced at me with a smile from time to time: "Xixi, did your rich boyfriend buy it?"

Before I could reply, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and within a few seconds, someone began to knock heavily on the door: "Come out!"
