Chapter Eighty-Seven: Arriving Home
Wakaba stood at the gate, she knew it wasn't homesickness.
In the car parked on the side of the road not far away, a pair of eyes are fixed on Wakaba.
"The leaves are back!" the old voice came from behind Wakaba, "why don't you go in?"
Wakaba turned around and made an excuse, "It's Grandma Luo! My mother doesn't seem to be at home!"
"Oh... Why don't you go to our house and sit down!
"No need, thank you Grandma Luo, my mother should be back in a while. ”
"Okay! take the time to play at my house!" the old man walked slowly towards the highway.
Wakaba's two index fingers kept wrapping, a cold wind blew, the trees by the wall swayed with the wind, a few yellow leaves scattered from the dry branches, fell on Wakaba's head, she stopped the movement of her fingers, raised her right hand to remove the dead leaves from her hair, the yellow leaves struggled to make two turns, and finally fell to the ground.
After all, you still have to face it, don't you? Wakaba sighed and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Who!" was Daddy's voice.
Wakaba shook his hand and took it back. As the footsteps got closer, Wakaba held one hand tightly on the handle of the suitcase.
With the sound of "squeak" opening the door, Wakaba met a pair of stunned eyes.
Ran Yukun held the door with his hand, half a sound, his expression turned from shock to joy, and then he said angrily:
"Do you know to come back?"
"Dad..."Wakaba clenched his fists.
"Let's come in first!" Ran Yukun turned sideways and let Wakaba into the courtyard, looking at Wakaba's suitcase, he reached out and took it.
Neither of the parents spoke, but sat facing each other in the living room, and the second hand of the wall clock on the wall could be heard clearly.
"Mom?" Wakaba was the first to break the silence.
"Let's go play cards!" Ran Yukun took out his mobile phone: "I'll call her back!"
"Don't ...... Alright!"
Ran Yukun forgot to forget Ruoye, and put down his phone: "Where are you in the past six months?
"Beijing, do sales. ”
"All the money in the card is your income?"
"Hmm!"
"Without a degree, how can you earn it as a girl?"
"I sell milk, relying on performance commissions!"
"Oh!" Ran Yukun picked up the phone again, and with the sound of "doo", he said pointedly: "I hope what you said is true, I hope you can pass your mother's level!"
The "what's the matter" call was answered, and Li Xianhui's impatient voice came.
"Xiao Ye is back!" Ran Yukun looked at Wakaba and said lightly.
After a moment of silence, "Got it!" without any mood swings. "Come, keep going......" and the phone was hung up.
The car on the side of the highway left not long after Wakaba entered the house.
Wakaba got up and pulled the suitcase into the bedroom, and then said to Ran Yukun, "I'll go see grandma." ”
Ran Yukun nodded, and first Ruoye walked out of the house.
"Wow, eldest sister, you're back!" Ran Ruozhu looked at Wakaba who entered the house, pretending not to know anything.
"Where's Grandma?"
"I'm taking a nap!" Ran Ruozhu walked over and pulled Wakaba, "Sister, go to my room, grandma will wake up and come back in a while!"
"Sister, you just got home?"
Ran Ruozhu closed the bedroom door, turned around and looked at Wakaba and nodded, and said worriedly:
"What did Auntie say?"
"She's not at home, your uncle is here!"
"Uncle, Uncle is fine, but what did Uncle say!"
"He didn't say anything!"
"That ......"
"Don't talk about them, now that you're back, you're ready to bear the consequences!"
"Well, I know that the eldest sister has always been the best!"
Although the two have always kept in touch, they are sisters, and they always have endless words to talk about, chatting about the unnutritious sea and sky.
"Wakaba, you're back!" A kind voice rang out as there was a knock on the door.
Wakaba got up to open the door and put the old man's hands on his hands, "Grandma, I'm back!"
Chatting with grandma, Wakaba naturally showed a sincere smile, this big family has a deep patriarchal thinking, grandma is from the older generation, it is even deeper, but she is a wise old man, she has a deep concern for her children and grandchildren, even if she does love the two grandchildren more, but she does not take the two granddaughters to heart all the time.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Grandma sat down on the edge of Wakatake's bed and patted Wakaba's hand on her arm.
"I'm sorry, grandma, for worrying you!"
"Grandma, you don't know how powerful the eldest sister is, she is in Beijing, five or six thousand a month! Who is it, who graduated from college! It's only more than two thousand. Wakatake slipped over to her grandmother and sat down closely.
"Really, Wakaba is so powerful! must have suffered a lot!"
"No, grandma! It's just an ordinary job, not tired!"
"Hey...... It's just Wakaba, why are you so stubborn, giving up on university and giving up your great future!"
"Grandma, you don't necessarily earn so much in college! Didn't you just say that?
"Ruozhu!" Grandma's face straightened, stared at Ran Ruozhu, and then looked at Wakaba: "What do you think now?"
"Grandma, I'm sorry!" Ruoye finished speaking and then looked at Ran Ruozhu: "Don't think like this, although you see that my salary is not bad now, but you don't know what problems you will encounter when communicating with customers, especially when it comes to some professional high-end terms, I can only be stupid on the side, and then go back and make up for it, even then I will still worry about trouble, Ruozhu, education is really important in today's society, so you must go to college, and you must not go my way." ”
"Oh!" Wakatake nodded unconvinced.
"Did you hear what the eldest sister said?" Grandma patted Ruozhu's head: "Your eldest sister didn't go to college and could get a high salary, but you...... Stupid, so you'd better take the university exam!"
"Grandma, you're not fair! You always talk about me, and you're not afraid that I'll be sad!" Ruozhu rolled her eyes, leaned on her grandmother, and lied coquettishly.
Wakaba looked at the doting and kind smile on her grandmother's face and laughed happily.
"Wakaba, I'll go to your house tonight, lest your mother murder you again!" Grandma forgot to forget the sky outside the window, which was gradually darkening.
"Thank you, grandma, no need, my mom she...... You can't keep an eye on her all the time. ”
"Then let Ruozhu go with you!"
"No need, let Ruozhu accompany you at home! It's getting dark, I'll go back first!" Wakaba stood up and walked out: "Grandma, I'll come over and cook for you at noon tomorrow!"
"Okay, I haven't eaten your cooking for half a year, Ruozhu's cooking is too unpalatable!"
"Grandma..."Ruozhu said angrily, hurried two steps, and grabbed Wakaba, "Eldest sister...... "She has seen her aunt's unreasonableness, she is really worried.
"Don't worry, it's okay, go cook for grandma!" Wakaba pushed away Ruozhu's hand and went home without hesitation.
