Chapter 42: What to Compensate Me?

She knew that Fang Ruo's mother would not agree easily, so after thinking about it, she asked her eldest son to come forward to make peace, but it backfired, and the result of her busy work was still empty.

Fang Ruo didn't know when the storm at home would stop, since the quarrel at the dinner table that day, Mom and Dad hadn't spoken to each other at home for several days.

When two people meet, they seem to be like no one, and neither of them wants to talk to each other first.

Dad was also driven to sleep on the sofa at night, Fang Ruo got up with a dry mouth at night and went to the kitchen to fetch water to drink, but when he returned to the room, he was startled by his father who was hiding in the corner of the sofa and smoking, the red sparks emitted a ghostly light in the dark night, like scarlet bloody eyes, which made people suddenly feel a chill down their spines.

Fang Ruo called her father lightly, and a complicated emotion immediately surged in her heart, although there has been no deep affection with her grandmother, but she has a strong love for her father in her heart.

Although Dad is not good at words on weekdays, and he cares more about his younger brother in life, Fang Ruo knows that he is also silently caring about himself, sometimes when he is late from studying, Dad will cook a supper for her to eat when she hasn't slept yet, and when the weather is bad, he will tell her to bring an umbrella, and secretly leave more snacks and fruits for her.

Fang Ruo felt his father's occasional little love, and he also remembered it all in his heart, how could there be parents in this world who didn't love their children, unless they were really hard-hearted people.

However, there are many kinds of love in the world, and meager and moisturizing love is also a kind of love, although it is not as good as full of love, but for her, it is already satisfying to have these.

Dad obviously didn't know that she hadn't fallen asleep yet, he got up in a bit of a hurry and snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table, coughed twice and then softly reminded her to go to bed earlier, Fang Ruo responded with a choked voice, and walked quickly towards the room, tears flowed out unconsciously.

In the dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, she couldn't see the sadness and anxiety on her father's face, and her father couldn't see her teary eyes clearly.

Grandma now lives near the suburbs, due to the expansion of the city in recent years, the suburbs have also opened a lot of roads, and there is a bus stop not far from the home, so it is relatively convenient to travel.

And the place where my grandmother lives is more like the urban-rural junction, where the houses are all low bungalows, and have their own courtyards, you can grow some small dishes on weekdays, and the surrounding environment is not like the general traffic in the city, but it is less crowded and secluded, which is actually more suitable for the elderly to live.

Grandma is getting older, and she feels more and more that living alone is lonely, and she has never felt the happiness of her children and grandchildren, and she has begun to yearn for the warmth of family affection after living alone for a long time.

But my mother was unwilling to give in, so what should my grandmother do?

Or...?

An inexplicable thought suddenly flashed through Fang Ruo's mind, but after a few seconds, she shook her head and denied this unrealistic fantasy.

She tossed and turned on the bed and thought about it, sleepiness gradually crept up in her heart, her consciousness gradually blurred, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

The days passed, the parents still didn't talk to each other, and they had been in a cold war for more than half a month, Fang Ruo was still bitter at first to persuade the two, but who knew that the two of them were still unmoved, very stubborn and stubborn, no one would give in, and let her take care of the affairs of adults.

Fang Ruo felt helpless in his heart, and when he saw this, he didn't want to meddle in the family's affairs anymore, so he simply went with the adults to quarrel with the cold war, and he just didn't see it.

Fortunately, the winter vacation life passed quickly, and the new semester began in a blink of an eye. One day after school, she missed a bus that she usually takes on weekdays, so she had to wait patiently at the station for a while, and when she got off at the next bus, the sky was already twilight.

She took the key to open the door with some trepidation, her heart was ready to accept the coming storm, after entering the door, she glanced at the dining table, the meal had been arranged in a compromise, the meal was ready, her parents were still in the kitchen, she lowered her head at the entrance and quickly changed her shoes, thinking that it would inevitably be a scolding later.

But the expected storm did not come, and my parents were chatting in the kitchen as if they had been reconciled, full of laughter, and when they saw her coming back, their mother came out of the kitchen, and smiled and called her to wash her hands and prepare for dinner, and she walked to the sink to wash her hands, and felt that this was very abnormal.

It's already very late when I get home today, my parents have been waiting for me for a long time, and the food is only cold, as usual, I should be refuted by them, even if I am lucky to meet the two of them in a good mood, it should be indispensable to say a few cold words, but today I am still smiling like this, and the wind and drizzle are like this, is there anything good?

She sat at the dining table in a daze, saw that Fang Haoxuan was not at home, and asked him curiously where he went, and his mother explained that he went downstairs to play with the nearby children after eating first, Fang Ruo suddenly realized and was ready to start eating.

"Ruoruo, my face has lost weight recently, and I studied very hard, I stewed this local chicken today, and you can drink more of it." Fang Ruo's mother scooped a large spoonful of chicken soup and put it into her bowl, and Fang Ruo was flattered and took the bowl.

"Mom, thank you, I'll come by myself, and you can eat more." Fang Ruo felt sweet in his heart, and the chicken soup in the bowl became extremely delicious.

"Yes, I said that if you have lost weight recently, and you still have this meat, you should eat more, the pressure of studying is so great, and the nutrition can't be left behind." Fang Ruo's father also took a large piece of meat from the vegetable bowl and put it into Fang Ruo's bowl, and the two people in front of him sang and harmonized, which really made Fang Ruo feel overwhelmed.

However, she also felt very happy to see that her parents were finally reconciled, and everything was prosperous at home, which always made people feel happy.

"Mom, have you two taken care of grandma's affairs?" Fang Ruo chewed the meat in her mouth, it was too big, and her speech was still a little unclear.

"This..."

Fang Ruo's mother put down the chopsticks in her hand and said with a sad face: "We haven't decided on this yet, but we just have an idea, I don't know if it will work." ”

Fang Ruo's mother looked at Fang Ruo with some expectation, thinking in her heart that she could continue to ask.

"What's the method?" Fang Ruo sensed a hint of weirdness, and seemed to have half guessed his mother's thoughts in his heart.

"This is, Ruoruo, do you want to accompany grandma and live with her for a while, her temper and personality have become much better now, not the same as before."

She now knows that today's meal is a bureau set up by her parents, so she said that why is it so abnormal today, it turns out that there are special circumstances, and she really thought that her mother would be kind enough to let herself go late, but in fact, it was just because she asked for herself.

Fang Ruo didn't speak, his face was indifferent, and he didn't raise his head.

"Ahem, Ruoruo, you can stay there for a while, and then I will take you back, and we will give you more living expenses when you go there, go and accompany grandma, she is too lonely." Fang Ruo's father also looked at her expectantly, as if if she didn't agree, she would become a very ignorant and well-behaved child.

"How long is a period of time? Will you really take me back then? Fang Ruo's voice trembled a little, and he raised his head and looked at them with sincerity on his face.

Fang Ruo only felt that she had become a child who was abandoned by adults at will, she was like a shield, her parents put her in front of her to defend against enemies when they needed it, and ignored her when they didn't need it. Whether she wants to do it or not, whether her heart hurts or not.

"Soon, you believe Daddy." Fang Ruo's father felt a little bitter in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and responded to her with words.

"Can you not go, I don't want to go." Fang Ruo felt that his eyes were hot, and a warm current filled his entire eye socket.

"Let's go, Ruoruo, I called my grandmother, and she said that she is very welcome to go, and she will be very good to you in the future, and make up for the care she missed in the past."

"Can you help Mom and Dad, help take care of Grandma, there are too many cars here, it's not safe for her to go out, there are no acquaintances here, and she has nowhere to go around." Fang Ruo's father also begged her in a low voice, but Fang Ruo felt even more sad, her heart seemed to have been suddenly cut into a big hole, and blood flowed in a hurry.

"By the way, your school is also close to there, you don't have to take the bus to school for so long every day in the future, you can walk to the school in about ten minutes from grandma's house, and it is very convenient to go to school." Fang Ruo's mother reminded her, trying to say more good things to persuade her.

"The teacher said that this semester is going to be a night self-study, you see that you live there and it is convenient to go home after evening self-study at night."

"Ruoruo, what books and materials do you want to buy, I will give you more pocket money every month, you can also buy more things to eat, live in grandma's house is the same as your own home, don't treat yourself badly, you can also go home when you want to go home during the holidays, very free."

"yes, we'll often go to Grandma's house to see you..."

How many nice things they said, Fang Ruo didn't remember anymore, and she didn't know from which moment she felt very numb in her heart. The parents promised to give her more pocket money, which was nothing more than that they felt that they had treated her materially, but also to reassure their own hearts, thinking that they could compensate her in this way.

But what about love? What to compensate? At this time, she understood that although she was a relative, her heart and heart were separated by a long river, she was here, and her parents were on the other side, but no one could cross it from afar, and she would always be separated by this vast river.

Living with my grandmother, I can't go to and from school with Xu Zhuoyuan anymore, I can't see him often, and I have to say goodbye to everything here from now on, he was the only harbor in his heart, but now this little hope will be ruthlessly deprived. It's so cold, it's a warm day in April, and she still feels that her whole body is cold from head to toe at the moment.

In fact, this was not a discussion and conversation at the beginning, the moment my parents said it, it was already a sure result, and then whether she wanted to accept it or not, she could only accept it, as for the good words they said, it was just some painless words, which couldn't hide their inner desires.
