Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Month
Su Run had to take a month off because Cheng Yuan forced her to "go to confinement". Fortunately, the company was not busy, and Su Run made up a lot of reasons, and finally asked the leader to sign the leave form.
Cheng Yuan really didn't come back, saying that it was because of his injuries and work, and he was not suitable for driving around every day, but Su Run knew that the awkward relationship between them was not suitable for meeting for the time being, and they lived under the same roof.
Pan Zihao was also forced by him to stay in the company and lived in the staff dormitory.
Su Run moved his things into the guest room, sorted out his clothes and hung them in the empty closet, when he heard someone knocking on the door, and saw a middle-aged woman carrying a bag of vegetables through the cat's eye, thinking that it was probably the aunt who Cheng Yuan said came to take care of her "confinement".
"Ma'am." As soon as the man came in, he bowed to Su Run, put the vegetables and meat in the refrigerator neatly, and asked, "What kind of taste does Mrs. have?" ”
Su Run's face was hot, and he said unnaturally: "You call me Su Run." What do you call it? ”
"Su Run? Oh, okay, everyone else calls me Aunt Fang. ”
The aunt is neither fat nor thin, neither humble nor arrogant when she speaks, looks clean and neat, has sharp hands and feet, and is about forty years old. Su Run also smiled and called her, "Aunt Fang is good." ”
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "You go and rest, I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”
Su Run happened to be a little tired, and he didn't politely go in to take a nap, and when he came out, there were already a few dishes on the table, and Aunt Fang was still in the kitchen and didn't come out, she lifted the lid to see, all vegetarian dishes, and they were all light, and when she saw Aunt Fang coming out with a casserole, she asked, "Is Aunt Fang a local?" ”
Aunt Fang replied while giving Su Runsheng soup: "No, I'm from Chongqing, but I've been here for more than ten years." ”
"Oh!" Su Run nodded, secretly happy in his heart, thinking if he could occasionally eat some authentic Sichuan food in the future? He looked down at the chicken soup in his bowl and said with a bitter face, "I don't want to drink this soup." ”
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "Sir, the chicken soup must be drunk." ”
"Huh?" Su Run, Cheng Yuan seems to know that she doesn't like to drink such greasy soup, right? Why do you want to give her chicken soup all of a sudden? Suddenly thinking of the confinement again, his face immediately turned red, and he quickly lowered his head and pulled two mouthfuls of food, muttering in his heart, he really thought that I had killed a child?
Aunt Fang saw that Su Run didn't speak, thinking that she was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Miss Su Run, Mr. Cheng said that you love meat, but he also confessed, saying that you are not in good health, you must be light these days, and also, you have to drink chicken soup every day, if you feel that the oil should be less." These dishes are greasy and nourishing, you eat more. ”
Su Run laughed twice, she wasn't very hungry, but she was afraid that she would eat very little for the first time, and Aunt Fang would feel disgusted that she didn't make it delicious, so she reluctantly ate more, to tell the truth, although it was a little lighter, but Aunt Fang's craftsmanship was not bad.
Su Run touched her round belly and thought, how many pounds does she have to gain if she raises it like this for a month?
Aunt Fang packed up and left, Su Run looked at the empty room a little discouraged, she turned on all the lights, stood on the balcony and looked down, dinner time, the lights were lit up in the community one after another, the stereo had been set up in the square below, the anxious aunt paced around waiting for her partners, the children who were playing waved goodbye to each other, the office workers came in in twos and threes with the access control card, the outside was very lively, and the lights of thousands of homes were on.
Only Su Run is lonely.
She sighed and called Pan Zihao, who picked up when the ringtone was about to stop automatically.
"Hey, sister, I'm still in the company. Is there something wrong with you? ”
Su Run's mood finally lit up a little, and she asked, "Have you arranged your work?" What are you doing? ”
"That," he said in a low voice, "he asked me to follow his order, but I probably looked at it, and it was quite stable, it shouldn't be difficult, and it won't be very busy." ”
Su Run felt strange and asked, "Why is your voice so low all of a sudden?" ”
"Ahem, sister, just hang up if you have nothing to do, you rest early."
was hung up again inexplicably, Su Run stupidly threw the phone on the sofa, thinking to himself, Cheng Yuan won't be next to Pan Zihao, right?
Su Run rarely goes out, there are no acquaintances in the unfamiliar community, and he lives a little far away from his colleagues.
Xiaoguo asked her out, but she was afraid of leaking her mouth, so she usually shirked everything. The only person who can meet and talk is Aunt Fang. Su Run gradually got acquainted with her, and often helped when cooking, and learned a few dishes along with her.
"Su Run, you have to eat less of this, Mr. has instructed me not to give you spicy food. Although I reduced the amount of chili pepper in this spicy chicken, I am still worried that you will not feel comfortable eating it. ”
Su Run said while chewing, "Aunt Fang, your craftsmanship is so good, it's delicious." Don't worry, it's okay, I don't eat much. ”
Aunt Fang sighed and said, "You are really lucky, Mr. is quite concerned about your body, I see you jumping around, I don't find anything uncomfortable." ”
"He never came back, how do you know he cares about me?"
"He called me and asked me if you were used to eating, if there was anything uncomfortable, and how was your mental state."
Su Run was speechless, and suddenly felt that the chicken in his mouth tasted the same as chewing wax, swallowed it with difficulty, and said, "The next time he asks you again, you will say that I am depressed." ”
"Huh?" Aunt Fang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I know, you want Mr. to come back to see you." ”
Su Run instantly blushed and said, "I didn't have it." ”
Aunt Fang is from the past, where do you not understand her careful thoughts? I just didn't lower my head and smiled, but I didn't say anything.
Half a month has passed, Su Run has gradually become accustomed to living alone, watching dramas every day, cooking with Aunt Fang, walking in the community, and almost never going out of the door.
Cheng Yuan endured it for half a month, and finally came back in the middle of the night, he knew that Su Run was asleep, so he tried to keep the sound as low as possible, and the slippers made a short noise on the wooden floor, although it was not big, but in the quiet night, he was still afraid of disturbing Su Run.
One is afraid of disturbing her sleep, and the other is that she is afraid that she will wake up embarrassed, and he said that he will not come back for this month. Because he thinks that Su Run just beat a child, and because of him, he must not want to see him at this moment, right?
Cheng Yuan took off his shoes and gently pushed open the door with his bare feet, Su Run was not there. He was slightly stunned, turned around and went to the guest room, and sure enough, she didn't live in the master bedroom. He was a little annoyed, more helpless, squatting on the side of the bed and looking at Su Run's somewhat pale sleeping face, wanting to touch her forehead and her face, his hand retracted in mid-air.
"Susu, I'm sorry."
He admitted his selfishness and cruelty, and he hesitated, but he still couldn't convince himself to give up, even if it made her hate her, he wanted to entangle, even if it was short, three years or not, three years was stolen by himself.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth shook his head with a wry smile, speaking of which, he was still no match for Pan Zihao.
Su Run woke up the moment Cheng Yuan entered the door, but she didn't dare to open her eyes, and let him be silent by her bedside in the dark night until the sound of his mobile phone vibrating.
Cheng Yuan went out very carefully, and Su Runcai opened his eyes and heard the sound of the phone that he deliberately suppressed.
"Leave tomorrow morning, you come with me, well, Xiao Xia just stays. I don't know if the problem is serious, go back and take a look, don't tell the people over there in advance, don't leak the news. Also, you told Xiao Xia that Pan Zihao had just arrived, and if she didn't understand, she should be patient. Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, rest early, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I'll drive to pick you up. ”
Su Run heard it in a fog, only knowing that Cheng Yuan was probably in trouble to deal with, she wanted to ask, but heard Cheng Yuan's footsteps coming, she didn't think about what to do, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Cheng Yuan came in and glanced at the sleeping Su Run, sighed slightly, closed the door lightly and went out. But Su Run had woken up, and when he stood up kicking his slippers, Cheng Yuan had already left.
Su Run called Pan Zihao early the next morning, but Pan Zihao didn't answer, and came back to her after more than half an hour.
"Sister, I was just in my brother-in-law's office, and my brother-in-law was going back to the head office and gave me an order, which made my ears calloused." Pan Zihao complained, but his tone was brisk.
"Brother-in-law? You're quick to change your tune! ”
"Oh!" Pan Zihao laughed twice and said, "He has to call me that, and sister, I think he is indeed very good, you have to seize the opportunity, anyway, it is impossible to talk to Brother Hui." ”
Su Run rolled his eyes and wanted to scold him, "Don't you know why we got married?" Alas, forget it, let me ask you, why did he suddenly want to go back? ”
"How do I know this? But I've also heard a little rumor, there seems to be something going on inside the company, and my brother-in-law seems to be in a hurry, so I don't know the specifics. ”
"Okay, you go to work." Su Run knew that he couldn't find anything and wanted to hang up the phone.
"Well, okay, don't worry, sister, I guess it has little to do with my brother-in-law."
Is she worried?
Cheng Yuan walked for about two weeks, and when he came back, he didn't tell anyone, including Su Run. He arrived home in the afternoon, and it was obvious that he didn't go to the company, but came back directly.
Su Run was babbling and asking Aunt Fang, "How long has this fish been marinated?" Do you want to fry fish next dish? ”
Aunt Fang laughed and said, "Although you look greedy, this fish still can't be boiled and must be steamed." I have secretly changed the recipe for you several times behind Mr. Cheng's back in the past month, and every time he calls me to ask me, I don't dare to say, Mr. knows that it is not good. ”
"What do I know?" Cheng Yuan asked while changing his shoes.
The two people inside were stunned, the sound of the hood drowned out the sound of the door opening, and they didn't even notice that a person had come in.
Cheng Yuan looked a lot haggard, his stubble was not shaved clean, and the bloodshot eyes silently announced the quality of his recent sleep. Su Run stood up, Cheng Yuan happened to walk to the edge of the kitchen, and the two of them looked at each other through a glass door.
"Su Run, what are you doing!"
Cheng Yuan raised the decibel violently, reached out to fish her out of it, and asked angrily, "Are you washing vegetables?" ”
Su Run looked at the basin under his feet, Mu Mu nodded, feeling that Cheng Yuan's evil fire was inexplicable.
Aunt Fang came out apologetically, nodded her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, it was Miss Su Run who was bored and helped me do a little, no, I really didn't let her do anything else." ”
Cheng Yuan frowned and asked, "Is it like this today, or has it always been?" ”
"Huh?" Aunt Fang was stunned by the question, "It depends on her mood, but, but, she often does it with me." ”
"You! Didn't I say she wasn't in good health and couldn't get out of bed? How do you still cook? ”
"You didn't say you couldn't get out of bed, and besides, Su Run doesn't look like she's sick." Aunt Fang was dumbfounded, like a child who had done something wrong, standing there helplessly, Su Run took over and said, "What's wrong with me helping Aunt Fang wash the dishes?" I didn't go to work again, so I only chatted with Aunt Fang on weekdays, cooking, and passed the time. ”
"Huh!" Cheng Yuan was so angry that he said, "Okay, good, but no matter how you have to endure it, can you touch cold water in the confinement?" ”
"Huh!" Su Run's face was full of black lines, and she suddenly felt that what he said was very reasonable, and she had forgotten about the confinement.
"Confinement?" Aunt Fang was the first to react, and finally understood the reason why Cheng Yuan didn't come back for a month and got angry when he came back. "Su Run is in confinement? No, I've also been a confinement lady, and I have taken care of mothers a lot, and I have seen a lot of miscarriages, which is completely different. Besides, Miss Su Run is alive, how can it be that she is in confinement? ”
"Really?" The words were for Aunt Fang, but her eyes were staring at Su Run, and she said, "Aunt Fang, go and cook." ”
"Good Ratcha!"
Cheng Yuan pulled Su Run into the bedroom, kicked his foot back hard, and the door "snapped" and closed heavily.
