Chapter 177: Speaking counts

The room was quiet, Gu Shi'an quickly came back to his senses, and went to the old lady's bedroom with gentle steps.

The old lady had woken up this time, and was struggling to sit up from the bed. Gu Shi'an hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and took a pillow for her to cushion behind her.

The old lady was a little surprised to see her, but she also knew that her aunt must have called her. I had to say helplessly: "Grandma is fine, and there is a doctor here, what are you doing here." ”

Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it a long time since I saw you?" I'm here to accompany you. ”

As she spoke, she poured the old lady a glass of warm water.

The old lady took it and drank half a glass of water, and then Gu Shi'an took the cup and put it down again.

Although the old lady is weak, the fever has subsided. Gu Shi'an wanted to bring porridge to the room, but she refused, saying that she had been lying down all morning and should move no matter what.

Gu Shi'an helped her out of bed. After taking care of the old lady and washing briefly, she went to serve porridge.

Although her craftsmanship is not as good as that of the aunt at home, the old lady is still full of praise. A pair of cloudy eyes were in a trance. She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. After sitting in the living room for a while, I lost my spirit and went back to my room to rest.

The doctor came in the evening and examined the old lady. It is said that as long as the fever is no longer at night, it is not a big deal. But the old lady's body is no longer than before, and her blood pressure is also a little high, so she must pay more attention at night.

The expression on the doctor's face was a little solemn, and Gu Shi'an's fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly. I tried my best to control my composure, asked the doctor what to pay attention to, and took a pen and wrote them down one by one, and then sent the doctor out.

She was distraught, and stood outside for a while, and then went to the old lady's room. Then the old lady had fallen asleep, and she stood in front of the bed and looked at the old lady's wrinkled face, and her heart was empty and sharp.

The old lady was her only relative in this world, and she didn't even dare to think about what the doctor said.

She stood in front of the bed for a long time, until her eyes were so bitter that she gently turned off the light and the door and withdrew.

She was in a trance, and when she got outside, she stood at the door. It wasn't until her aunt came out of the kitchen and called her that she came back to her senses and barely squeezed out a smile.

Her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and the aunt was naturally worried about something, and said lightly: "Don't think nonsense, the old lady's body is much better than before." It's just a cold, it's going to be fine. ”

Gu Shi'an smiled reluctantly and nodded.

The villa is still too big and deserted. Gu Shi settled down for a while, and then asked her aunt if there was a folding bed here, she could sleep in the old lady's room tonight, or make a bunk on the floor.

The old lady's sleep is already shallow, and she may not sleep well when she sleeps together.

The aunt was slightly stunned when she heard that she was going to sleep in the old lady's room, and then said: "You haven't rested since you came, you rest yours, and I will take care of the old lady at night." ”

He couldn't rest assured if he didn't take care of Gu Shi'an personally, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, it's more convenient for me to sleep in the room." ”

Seeing that she insisted, the aunt didn't say anything more. Take her to the utility room to find a folding bed.

There are a lot of things in the utility room, although it is not neat, but it is not cluttered. Looks like it hasn't had time to clean up yet.

There are many things in it that are indeed from the old mansion, Gu Shi'an looked at his aunt and asked, "Has grandma moved all her things here?" ”

Auntie nodded and said, "Moved over." The old lady's own and the old man's belongings were all brought over. The old lady said that since she didn't plan to go back, she had to move out of the house. When I moved, my wife made a fuss, but no one paid attention to her. ”

The aunt explained this: "The old lady moved here, and they are all things that she is used to. It's not worth much. The only valuable thing is the old man's collection of calligraphy and paintings. It's not been long since I moved here, and I haven't had time to clean it up. ”

Just those few calligraphy and paintings are enough for Xu Jiarong to feel distressed. The old lady knew them, if she hadn't just moved some worthless things, Xu Jiarong wouldn't have made a fuss.

Gu Shi'an had no say in this matter, and nodded.

The aunt babbled about the things that had been moved over. In addition to the habitual ones, almost all the things in the study have been moved.

Most of those things are the old man's books, and if they are left there, no one will take care of them, and sooner or later they will be wormed and destroyed.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that the old lady would move all the things in the study together, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Just about to ask something, the aunt sighed and continued: "Since the things in the study were moved, the old lady has less time to go out these days, and most of the time she wears reading glasses to stay in the study. ”

The folding bed was placed inside, and she took it out with that. Gu Shi'an hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Although there is no one to take care of it here, the bed is also clean. Just put it on and you can sleep.

Gu Shi'an was afraid of waking up the old lady, so he was not in a hurry to move the bed to her room. I went upstairs first and prepared the things that were laid and covered.

The aunt was originally going to help her, but she didn't let her, saying that she could do it alone.

She was still upstairs tidying up when she heard the faint sound of a car outside. She didn't care about it, she packed up her things and washed upstairs, and then went downstairs with the quilt.

As soon as I arrived at the staircase, I saw Chen Xiao sitting in the living room. She was slightly stunned for a moment.

Auntie was very happy to see Chen Xiao coming, and said with a smile: "Uncle is here." ”

This sentence sounded very unfamiliar, Gu Shi'an was a little uncomfortable, went downstairs with the quilt, put it on the folding bed on the side, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"The driver said that grandma was not feeling well, so I came over to take a look." The smile on Chen Xiao's face was impeccable. It's like the two are a loving couple.

He didn't change his clothes, he should have come directly from the company. Gu Shi'an opened his mouth and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Chen Xiao said no, paused, and then said: "The company has a few meetings today, and the meeting will come directly after the meeting. ”

The aunt was in the restaurant when the two were talking, and when she heard this, she said, "The dishes for the evening are gone, so I'll cook noodles for my uncle." ”

Gu Shi'an walked over and said, "You go to rest yours, I'll cook it." ”

The old lady's illness was turned on her back, and everyone was not easy.

The aunt probably thought that the little couple should be alone, so she responded with a smile, wiped her hands and went back to the room.

Chicken soup was simmering on the stove, and the aunt probably wanted to make shredded chicken noodles for Chen Xiao. Gu Shi'an looked at it, and then took out all the ingredients.

Auntie had already returned to the room, and when she did this, Chen Xiao came over and asked, "Is grandma better?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "It's better, the fever has subsided." "The driver took her to the yard before leaving, and probably told him everything.

Chen Xiao nodded.

The two didn't say anything for a while, he came here to be a guest, Gu Shi'an took a cup out and asked, "Tea or boiled water?" ”

Chen Xiao can say it now.

There is an inexplicable distance between the two here, and they are not as comfortable as they are in the new house.

Gu Shi'an made him a cup of tea before starting to cook noodles. It didn't take much effort to cook the noodles, and it didn't take long for them to be cooked and served to the table. I took some side dishes for Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao didn't rush to eat, looked around, and asked, "Isn't the doctor here?" ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." I came for a check-up in the evening, and said that if I didn't have a fever at night, there would be nothing wrong. ”

Even though he said this, Chen Xiao's brows furrowed. But he didn't say anything, picked up his chopsticks and ate noodles.

It was obviously not good to let him stay alone, and Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to do at this time, so he sat down opposite him.

Chen Xiao was hungry, although he ate elegantly and elegantly, he still didn't have to eat a bowl of noodles for long. Even the soup was drunk cleanly.

I don't know if he has eaten enough, Gu Shi'an looked at his clean bowl and asked, "Do you want to give you another bowl." ”

"I'm full." Chen Xiao replied, got up and poured water himself.

Gu Shi'an cleaned up the table, took the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen to wash.

When Chen Xiao came out after cleaning up, he was talking on the phone in the living room, and when he saw Gu Shi'an go out and say a few words, he hung up the phone and explained: "The old lady is old, and this side is far away from the hospital. There may be a fever at night, so it is better for me to call the doctor. ”

He was thoughtful. Gu Shi'an said thank you.

Chen Xiao suddenly smiled, looked at her with a pair of eyes, and asked, "Gu Shi'an, do you have to be so polite to me?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, he didn't care about her, and walked to the old lady's bedroom. I gently opened the door and looked at it, and saw that the old lady was asleep, so I closed the door again.

He rushed over after several meetings in a row, and his face was already a little tired. Gu Shi'an said: "I'll go put water and wash up first." ”

As she spoke, she went upstairs. Chen Xiao looked at her back, didn't speak, and followed her upstairs after a while.

When Gu Shi'an came out, Chen Xiao was standing in the corridor smoking a cigarette, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He must have heard her footsteps, but he didn't look back.

His shadow was stretched long under the light, and Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused for a moment and said, "It's time to wash." ”

It's far from the city, so it's not convenient to buy things. In case of guests, it is necessary to have new toiletries.

Chen Xiao snuffed out the cigarette butt, turned around, and said hello.

Gu Shi'an didn't have anything to do if he stayed, so he had to go downstairs. Who knew that as soon as the steps moved, Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Gu Shi'an, I think we need to talk." ”

Gu Shi'an's heart suddenly beat. Although she didn't know what Chen Xiao wanted to talk about, she obviously couldn't refuse. So I had to nod.

Naturally, he couldn't stand and talk in the corridor, so Chen Xiao looked at the staircase and went back to the room. Seeing Chen Xiao enter the room, Gu Shi'an followed him in.

This is the room she used to live in, although there are many guest rooms here, if Chen Xiao can't stay in her room, it will arouse suspicion.

said that he wanted to talk, but when he entered the room, Chen Xiao did not speak for a while. After standing in the middle of the room for a while, he looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Even if we are divorced, then it's okay to be friends, right?" You don't have to be so deliberately alienated, I count my words, if after two years, you still haven't changed your mind, we will divorce. ”

When he said this, he kept looking at Gu Shi'an, and his tone was a little heavy, but he couldn't see any emotion at all.

This is the first time that the two of them have talked about this matter calmly.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance for a moment, lowered his head, and simply responded after a while. This seems to be a better way to deal with it than to make everyone tired.

Chen Xiao quickly returned to his usual appearance, and said lightly: "So, since you are friends, don't be so polite to me." The old lady is an elder, and I should do something. ”

After he said this, he didn't say anything more, and went straight to the bathroom to wash.

Soon there was the sound of water in the bathroom, and Gu Shi'an didn't know why he suddenly talked about it, so he stood in the room for a moment and went downstairs.

She went downstairs and sat on the couch without moving, until there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and then she took out the remote control and turned on the TV.

The doctor called by Chen Xiao hadn't come over yet, and the two of them had to wait.

Probably because it was too quiet, Chen Xiao found a topic and said without a match. Gu Shi'an was much more silent than usual, and simply responded to a sentence or two. Chen Xiao didn't mind.

The doctor came quickly, an hour and a half later. The old lady was asleep, for he had been examined by a doctor in the evening, and he did not wake her again. I just asked Gu Shi'an about the situation of the old lady during the day and her previous medical history.

Probably because of the effect, the doctor was very polite. Let him rush over at night Gu Shi'an was a little reluctant to go, and wanted to make him a supper, but he also said no.

It's already a big night, so naturally I can't sit anymore. Gu Shi'an took him upstairs to rest. He was not polite at this time, and asked Gu Shi'an to call the old lady if she was uncomfortable.

Gu Shi'an agreed, and said that he was troublesome to him, and asked him to rest early, and then went downstairs.

The doctor went to rest, but Chen Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of resting. Seeing Gu Shi'an going downstairs, he said, "You also go to rest, and I'll take care of grandma." ”

He didn't know if he would go to work tomorrow, Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "It's okay, you rest yours." ”

As she said that, she was about to move the simple bed to the old lady's room, and Chen Xiao stepped forward to take it.

The old lady slept soundly, and the two of them made the bed in the room without waking him. When he walked out of the house lightly, Gu Shi'an said softly: "You go to sleep, I can rest here." ”

She could sleep in that bed, but she was a little reluctant to sleep Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and asked, "Can you sleep?" ”

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, she really couldn't sleep.

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he went back to the living room and asked Gu Shi'an to turn off the brightest light in the living room. Then sat down on the couch.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he wanted to sit on, and he didn't stay or stay when he turned off the light, and finally sat down on the sofa.

Chen Xiao quickly lit a cigarette and lit it, looked sideways at the dark window, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you scared?" ”

He had already experienced it.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance for a moment and did not speak.

Chen Xiao didn't seem to find anything to comfort him, and didn't speak for a while. After a while, she suddenly sat next to Gu Shi'an, pressed her head directly on his shoulder, and said, "The shoulder lends you to lean." ”

His movements were rude. I don't know how many cigarettes I smoked, and there was a faint smell of tobacco on my body, so familiar, but so unfamiliar.

Probably because he was more fragile at night, Gu Shi'an's sentence 'I'm fine' couldn't be said for a while.

Probably because he was afraid that she would refuse, Chen Xiao kept pressing her head, and his big palm was tightly attached to her hair. Gu Shi'an gently closed his eyes.

The living room was so quiet that no one spoke for a moment. I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiaocai glanced down at Gu Shi'an, who was leaning on his shoulder, and said, "Gu Shi'an, don't be sad, no matter what happens in the future, I will be there." ”

His tone was very serious, rarely serious.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes tightly and did not move. After a minute or two, I said thank you softly.

It was already a little past twelve o'clock when she went to sleep, and the little bed was comfortable, but she couldn't sleep because she didn't know whether it was because of the bed or something else. In the darkness, he looked sideways in the direction of the old lady's bed.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered what Chen Xiao said tonight. She didn't expect that there would be such a calm time between her and Chen Xiao.

She used to be so expectant, but at this moment, she was extremely dazed.

The old lady beside her breathed steadily, she took a breath and quickly closed her eyes.

It's been a long time since she's slept in the same room with an old lady, and the last time she slept was when she was in school.

At some point after her father's death, she often had nightmares, and she had to be by the old lady's side to sleep.

Although she was not young at that time, the old lady still coaxed her like a child. At that time, the old lady was busy, and such time was limited, so she cherished it extraordinarily. Whenever I get home, what I look forward to most is to stay alone in my room with the old lady.

At that time, the old lady did not have so many wrinkles on her face, and her body was much better than now...... Gu Shi'an's eyes were very sour.

Over the years, because of her second uncle's family, she has returned to the old house very rarely, and she can't even remember when the old lady became so old.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep for a long time, and got up from time to time to feel if the old lady had a fever, until the sky was cloudy, and then he closed his eyes.

She was awakened from a drowsiness, and the next morning she heard a slight noise on the other side of the bed, and she opened her eyes.

The aunt didn't know when she came in, and she was helping the old lady get up.

Knowing that she must have not slept much all night, the old lady said softly: "Grandma is already well, don't get up first, and then sleep for a while." ”

Her face looked much better than it had been yesterday.

Gu Shi'an couldn't get up, and almost immediately sat up from the bed.

The old lady glared at her and said, "Why are you so disobedient, let you sleep a little longer, you will sleep a little longer." ”

She straightened her face, and Gu Shi'an had to lie back on the bed.

The aunt smiled on the side and said, "Listen to the old lady and sleep well." My uncle is there, and the doctor is there, so I don't have to worry about anything. ”

In the past, Chen Xiao had little contact with the Gu family, but because he called the doctor again last night, his aunt was very satisfied with him.

At the mention of Chen Xiao, the old lady's face softened. He told Gu Shi'an to sleep well, and then he went out with his aunt.

The door was quickly shut, and the room fell silent. Gu Shi'an originally planned to get up after lying down for a while, but she didn't sleep much last night, and after lying down, she actually fell asleep again.

When she woke up, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, she hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door and went outside.

There was a happy place outside, and Chen Xiao didn't know what to say, which made the old lady laugh.

Hearing the footsteps, Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at Gu Shi'an, and naturally said unnaturally: "Go wash up, Auntie has made something delicious, and you will be able to eat in a while." ”

The old lady was in good spirits, Gu Shi'an was relieved, answered a good word, and walked upstairs quickly.

Chen Xiao was not satisfied with the old lady's personal doctor, so he introduced the resume of the doctor who came last night to the old lady and Gu Shi'an during the meal, saying that he would come over every week to check the old lady's pulse in the future. Let the old lady tell the doctor if she is uncomfortable.

The grandson-in-law cared about her so much, and the old lady was naturally so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and she didn't shirk it.

She was almost well, and she refused to let the two of them accompany her any longer, and urged the two to go back to busy them after eating.

She stayed here alone, where was Gu Shi'an, and asked the old lady to go back with them. The old lady refused, saying that she was fine, but it was just a small cold. I'll call them if there's something.

Gu Shi'an wanted to stay for another two days, but she refused, and asked the two to come over to see her on the weekend.

The old lady would not easily change her attention, so Gu Shi'an had to tell her aunt to call her quickly if the old lady was uncomfortable.

When I went back, it was Chen Xiao's car, and his mobile phone was turned off when he was in the villa, and he was always quiet. At this moment, the phone was turned on, and the phone calls were overwhelming.

There are customers waiting, and Assistant Sun is already in a hurry over there. He was not in a hurry at all, telling him that the party was coming, and asked him to drag the customer first.

He has something to do and has been staying here with the old lady, and he also revealed that he is busy. Gu Shi'an's heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
