Chapter 272: Aunt Chen
In the next few days, although Cui Can wanted to go home, the matter in Jingli was not resolved, and he was not at ease when he left. So in order to go home with peace of mind, Cui Can is busy socializing and preparing for the upcoming vacation and vacation.
"Canning, you've lost weight." Seeing Cui Can's busy feet hitting the back of his head for his family, and when he couldn't eat properly, Chen Jiu felt deeply sorry and distressed.
Although she is not good at socializing, the interaction between relatives is inevitable, not to mention that she and Chen Jiu are inseparable from each other, so adapting to his family is also something she must adapt to. She really didn't feel tired. "Say what? Where did I lose weight? ”
Chen Jiu hugged Cui Can into his arms and tightened. "Cancan, sometimes I want to hide with you on a small island with no people, just the two of us, and not have to give up the time we spend together for those work and socialization. But they are my relatives, and you also have people to take care of, so we are destined not to be willful. ”
Cui Can raised his head, "Did you encounter something at work?" ”
touched Cui Can's long hair, "It's okay, who am I?" Can you still stump me with those work things? It's just that I've been a little upset to see you so busy that you can't even go home and retreat. ”
Cui Can patted him gently, "What do you say?" Don't you want to be with me anymore? What are you doing talking about these things together? ”
Chen Jiu just kissed her forehead and didn't say anything more.
Cui Can felt the distress from him, "Don't be so sensational." Since I have chosen to be with you, what else can I say? Besides, busyness is temporary. After the New Year, when this enthusiasm has passed, I will not be so busy. ”
"Do you think it's possible?" Chen Jiu thought of the madness of the Chen family's brothers and sisters-in-law in the past few days, and his brows furrowed again. Cui Can remembered the past few days, and he was indeed very busy. "It's all busy, and they can be so enthusiastic, which is also a sign of support for me."
"I hope so." It's not that you don't have confidence in your loved ones. It's really that they all want to be recognized by their grandfather, and grandpa has always talked about Cui Can recently, so those people are enthusiastic about Cui Can. He really doubted his intentions.
"Okay, I'm tired of the day, let's go to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow. Cui Can withdrew from Chen Jiu's arms and fell on the pillow. It's a pity that Chen Jiu then put her head on his arm again. Also lay down.
"Brilliant. Ever wondered where we're going to spend our honeymoon? ”
"As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere." In his previous life, Cui Can was not a rich man, so he had never been to many places. In this life, she and her family have almost traveled all over the country, and she wants to go abroad. So it doesn't matter where Chen Jiuxuan is.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, do you have any ideas?"
"This is my last year in my mother's house before I got married. So I have to be at home. ”
“……”
Just when the two of them were chatting about some trivial matters in life, Chen Jiu's phone suddenly rang. Pick it up from the head of the bed. Seeing the number on the screen made Chen Jiu's face show a trace of panic.
Cui Can sat up quietly and watched him pretend to be calm and pick up the phone. "Hey, is it Jiu'er?"
"Auntie, it's me, is there something going on to call me so late?" Although Chen Jiu's voice sounded the same as usual, Cui Can, who was sitting next to him, felt his nervousness. comfortingly grabbed his idle hand and told him about his support and companionship through the contact hands.
"Jiu'er, can you come over right away. Your grandfather is throwing a tantrum, and we can't try to persuade him. The main thing is that he has a bad heart and high blood pressure, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it. ”
Chen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go over right away." It's just that grandpa lost his temper for what? As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and got ready to get dressed. Cui Can also got out of bed and got dressed.
“…… You'll know when you're here. Aunt Chen hesitated for a while, and did not say the real reason.
Chen Jiu and Cui Can both heard the weakness in the aunt's words, and the two of them glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes. "Okay, I'll be over right away, has the doctor found it?" Although the old man is fine, the family doctor still has to call him to avoid any emergencies.
"Well, he's already here. Get out of here. The aunt was obviously very flustered, knowing that Chen Jiu and the others had already gone out, so she hung up the phone.
Chen Jiu and Cui Can went downstairs as fast as they could, and Cui Can grabbed the right to drive first. "I'll drive, Chen Jiu, who was already flustered, didn't deny it, and quickly got into the car.
After the car drove onto the road, Cui Can saw that the front of the car was not crowded and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the number of private cars is not very large, and the roads in the capital have not yet begun to get stuck in traffic. Otherwise, it's past nine o'clock, but there will be some delay on the way.
"I think grandpa is angry about my brother's affairs." Just when Cui Can thought that Chen Jiu wanted to sit quietly, he spoke. "In the past few days, you have been a lot busy because of them, although Grandpa didn't say anything, but I found that his face was very bad. So I suspect there's something else going on with you. After a while, if they say anything extraordinary, don't mind. Grandpa, like me, just feels sorry for you, so no matter how big his temper is, you shouldn't be angry. ”
"I know, I know my grandfather's love for me, don't worry about me. And I don't feel like a burden on your brothers' requests, so you don't have to worry about me at all. "The power of the Chen family's brothers, Cui Can knows, and Chen Jiu naturally knows it. Although she didn't say anything, Chen Jiu couldn't pretend not to know the virtues of her brothers, which was probably the main reason why her grandfather was angry.
The two of them hurried silently, and finally took half an hour to feel the old house. This is also thanks to Cui Can's drag racing speed, at this time, both of them feel that the wedding room should be close to the old house.
"Jiu'er, you're here, hurry up and persuade your grandfather." As soon as Chen Jiu and Cui Can's figures appeared, they appeared at the door of the old mansion. The aunt who had been waiting at the door rushed over, grabbed Chen Jiu's arm and began to beg him.
patted this young old woman comfortingly, Chen Jiu knew that his grandfather could still lose his temper. I was relieved. "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go see grandpa, you let go." was grabbed tightly by the aunt, and Chen Jiu had to pull away the aunt's hand.
Aunt Chen was forced to let go of her hand, but she was worried and didn't know what to do, after Chen Jiu entered the old man's room. She saw Cui Can. Her face was not good for a moment, but this change was as if it had never appeared, and there was a worried expression on her face. grabbed Cui Can's hand. "Cui Can, can you help Jiu'er persuade his grandfather, how can the old man be so angry at his age? It's not a big deal. ”
Chen Jiu had already entered his grandfather's room. Cui Can was held by her aunt. Stood in the living room. patted Auntie's hand comfortingly, "Auntie, don't worry, Chen Jiu is in, Grandpa will be fine." ”
Although the disgust that flashed on the aunt's face just now was not obvious, Cui Can still seized the moment. You don't have to ask to know that grandpa must have his own reasons for losing his temper this time, and even for himself, grandpa also criticized the children of the aunt's family. Although it's just such speculation. But it's not far from the truth.
"Yes, your grandfather likes Jiu'er. With so many grandchildren, I haven't seen anyone who is as much liked by your grandfather as Jiu'er. There used to be only one Jiu'er, but now there is one more you. I don't know how you all grew up, why did you like your grandfather so much? Don't talk about him, even I like you too, a pair of jade people, happy when you look at it. The aunt took Cui Can's hand and didn't let go, and the two of them sat on the sofa in the hall.
Cui Can felt helpless about such a harsh compliment, although she was very stupid, but she still heard some of the vague meanings in Auntie's words. Originally, she had a good impression of this simple aunt, but after hearing this, this good impression was gone. After being able to mix in this circle for so many years, which one is simple? I'm still too simple.
Auntie's eyes were fixed on the door of the old man's room, and her ears were pricked up to listen to the movement over there. At first, I could occasionally hear half of the old man's scolding, but now it was much quieter. Obviously, Chen Jiu's arrival still played a role. Thinking of Chen Jiu's weight, Auntie's heart began to regurgitate again.
I have been in the door for the longest time, not to mention giving birth to my eldest grandson, and I have given birth to so many grandchildren. Who doesn't say they can have children? But this is the kind of self, and he doesn't get much attention in the eyes of the old man. If it weren't for the fact that the old man felt a little guilty about his eldest son, and he was the eldest daughter-in-law, I am afraid that he would not even have the qualifications to live here.
After entering the door for so many years, I have served the old and young wholeheartedly, not to mention the merit and hard work, right? But in front of the old man, it is not as good as a grandson to have status. Her heart was sad. I don't have much education, so I don't know how to educate children. The child born by himself is as stupid as his own mouth, and he will not coax others. So with so many grandsons, there is no one Chen Jiu who likes the old man. She is seventy years old, and in front of the old man and the Chen family, she is still like a little daughter-in-law, and she is very unconvinced. That is, in order to seek benefits for his son and grandson, he is so willing to serve the old and young. But look at it now, isn't it just to ask Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law to write a few words? Why can't it be? Looking at the old man's temper, if Chen Jiu hadn't come, he might have gotten what would have happened.
glanced sideways at Cui Can, and she couldn't figure it out, why did the child she gave birth to not like the old man like it? Such an outsider also has more status than his own children, who will believe such a thing? But it happened in their old Chen family, and it was so loud.
Auntie's eyes were very vague, but Cui Can still received it. She glanced at the old lady quietly, and saw the jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes. It seems that he has been accidentally pulled into the whirlpool of fighting for interests.
Lowering his eyes, Cui Can decided to make a stone statue himself.
The aunt looked at it for a while, and was a little anxious, and wanted to go to the old man's room to have a look, but thinking of the old man's scolding when Chen Jiu and the others didn't come just now, she was a little timid. glanced at Cui Can and found that she was just staring at the door, with no expression.
"Cui Can, why don't we go in and have a look? Jiu'er has been in for so long, and I haven't heard your grandfather's voice again, why don't we go in too? ”
Cui Can glanced at her aunt and found the eagerness in her eyes. "We'll wait, right? Chen Jiu has been in for so long and there has been no movement, he must have persuaded his grandfather. ”
The aunt opened her mouth and didn't say anything more in the end.
The two of them sat quietly in the living room, neither of them spoke, as if time had stood still. Until the old man's door opened from the inside, and out came a man in a white coat.
The aunt hurriedly stood up, "Xiao Gao, is there nothing wrong with our old man?" "Xiao Gao is the old man's full-time health doctor, and he is very familiar with the people of the Chen family. Don't look at him being made a little high by his aunt, but his age looks like he is in his fifties, so he is already an old high.
Doctor Gao glanced at Cui Can, smiled at his aunt and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the old man's health is fine." It's nothing, try not to make him angry in the future, his blood pressure is not high, and there will be no heart problems. ”
Doctor Gao's words comforted Aunt and Cui Can, and after the former heard his later words, a trace of brown crossed his face, as if he had never existed. Looking at it again now, she is still the kind old lady, and her eyes are still so trusting and kind when she looks at Dr. Gao.
Hearing that the old man was fine, Cui Can breathed a sigh of relief. The old man is already in his nineties, but she can't be ambiguous, so she has been worried about it since she entered this house. Even when she wasn't talking to her aunt, she was like a scholar asking if there was any secret recipe for health care. Shuling didn't answer her, but it gave her hope in the bottom of her heart.
Doctor Gao and Aunt explained a few more words, and then left the Chen family's old house with their own medical kits. And the old man's door opened again shortly after he left. Several sons of Aunt Chen's family walked out of it, and Chen Jiu was the last to come out. After Chen Jiu closed the door, he glanced at Cui Can, and when he saw her standing there quietly, he felt that his heart was relaxed, and his breathing was relaxed.
Walked over, took her hand, and sat down in a corner of the living room, obviously with something to be done. Cui Can didn't ask him about what happened in the house, but she had eyes, and from the expressions of the brothers of the Chen family, she could see that they had all been criticized. Even the starling brother of the Chen family glared at Cui Can, which made her understand the cause of the incident. (To be continued.) )
