Chapter 18: She Didn't Come Today
(Dear, I'm sorry, the eighteenth and nineteenth chapters were sent in the wrong order!) Don't blame it! )
"Look at you, eat slowly, I'm not wrong, how many times a day have you seen people today? Don't think I didn't see it," Dong's mother said while serving Dong Zhanyang soup.
"I ...... I didn't! Dong Zhanyang said with a weak heart. He did go to Pu Jia a lot today, but he didn't expect to be seen by his mother.
Dong's mother didn't say anything when she looked at her son, she knew that she couldn't be too anxious, and her son shouldn't know his mind yet.
"Xuxu, you have to come on!" Dong's mother encouraged her eldest son.
"Oh!" Dong Zhanxu was perfunctory.
"Xu Xu will be fine tomorrow, why don't you join us for last year's festival?" Dong's mother really doesn't want her son to stay in the laboratory or in the study, she wants him to go out with her, her son is so handsome that he will definitely attract a lot of girls, and it will be better to know two more when the time comes.
"It's good for you two to go, but I still have to read at home?" Dong Zhanxu refused, he really didn't like such a lively place.
"We're too busy, aren't we, Yangyang." Dong's mother said and gave Dong Zhanyang a look.
Dong Zhanyang immediately understood when he saw it: "Oh, oh! Yes, I'm too busy, brother, go and help us, or I'll tire my mom out, and my dad will be distressed. ”
Professor Dong didn't see Dong's mother's eyes on Dong Zhanyang, thinking that he was really busy, and he was distressed, so he hurriedly picked up vegetables for Dong's mother: "You said you, I won't ask you to do it, our family is not out of money, is it tired?" I'll pinch it for you after a while! ”
Dong's mother couldn't tell Professor Dong too clearly at this time, so she could only follow what she said just now: "It's okay, I have nothing to do at home, and isn't this Xu Xu on vacation?" Xu Xu can go and help me, and one more person won't be busy. ”
"Xuxu, you can help your mother starting tomorrow, you can read those books whenever you want, don't tire your mother out. Tomorrow, the teachers of the major universities will have to do academic discussions, so I can't help you, thank you! Professor Dong also agreed when he heard it, mainly because he felt sorry for his wife.
"It's okay, you just have to keep your mind busy." Dong's mother was also very distressed when she heard that Professor Dong couldn't stay idle during the holidays.
If Dong Zhanxu still doesn't understand that this is his mother's bitter trick, then he has read so many books in vain. However, Dad said so, and it was not okay not to go, so he said very reluctantly: "Okay! Can't I go? You can also choose a time to show affection! ”
Dong's mother saw that her son was finally willing to go out, and glanced at Dong Zhanyang with a smile.
Early the next morning, Dong's mother knocked on Dong Zhanyang's door, came to Dong Zhanxu's bedroom door, and knocked on his door. Dong Zhanxu, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door, and got up to open the door with an unhappy face. When I opened the door, I saw my mother standing outside the door, and Dong Zhanyang was standing behind my mother, looking like she had also been woken up, looking unhappy.
"Xuxu, hurry up and pack up, we're going to be last year's festival." Dong's mother was very interested, because with such a handsome two sons out, there must be girls who can take a fancy to her.
"Mom, can I not go?" Dong Zhanxu was still reluctant.
"No, I said it yesterday." Dong's mother said affirmatively.
"Okay, then you wait, I'll wash my face!" Dong Zhanxu couldn't hide from it, and said in frustration.
Dong's mother saw that her son went to wash his face, and happily went to clean up the things she was going to take for a while. Dong Zhanyang watched his brother brush his teeth and wash his face with a reluctant face, and then looked at his mother's happy appearance, and also went to wash his face and brush his teeth, as if he was not reluctant, and seemed to be quite willing to go deep down.
As soon as Dong Zhanyang's mother and son arrived at the New Year's Festival stall, Dong Zhanyang looked to the opposite side, Pu Jia was not there, Pu Jia's mother was alone. Dong Zhanyang didn't realize it himself, he didn't see the disappointment in Pu Jia's heart. Dong's mother noticed her youngest son's eyes, smiled secretly, pulled her eldest son's clothes, and motioned to her eldest son to look at Dong Zhanyang. Dong Zhanxu looked at Dong Zhanyang, and then looked at the opposite side, a couplet stall, and a middle-aged woman in the stall. There is nothing, Dong Zhanxu looked at his mother suspiciously, Dong's mother saw that Dong Zhanxu didn't understand, so she whispered in Dong Zhanxu's ear: "Yang Yang's female classmate didn't come, you see Yang Yang lost his soul." ”
After Dong Zhanxu listened, he looked at Dong Zhanyang again, "Oh! Then he took out the books he had brought from home and sat down to read.
"Hey, why are you reading again?" Dong's mother was immediately dissatisfied when she saw Dong Zhanxu take out a book and sit there to read.
"There will be no one here, I will read books!" Dong Zhanxu said without raising the head of the book.
Dong's mother saw that there would really be no one, so she went with him.
Dong Zhanyang heard them talking, and looked back at his brother: "Brother, do you still have the books you brought?" ”
"No, just one copy. Do you want to see it too? Dong Zhanxu said.
"Well, boring." Dong Zhanyang said disappointedly.
"I didn't know you loved to read so much?"
"I love it now." Dong Zhanyang listened to his brother pick up his old bottom, and said angrily.
"I've got a notebook with me, don't you see?"
"Bring it." Dong Zhanyang stretched out his hand.
Dong Zhanxu took his notebook from the side and threw it to Dong Zhanyang. The main purpose of that notebook is to write about my own experience in reading books.
Dong Zhanyang took it, opened it and looked at the dense writing on it, he didn't finish reading a page, he was impatient, and closed it irritably and put it aside. The eyes involuntarily looked to the other side again.
Dong's mother looked at her little son as if he had lost his soul, and she couldn't bear it, so she said, "If you really want to know, just ask her mother." ”
"I don't want to know anything!" Dong Zhanyang was stiff-mouthed, but he refused to admit that he really wanted to know why Pu Jia didn't come.
"You just have a hard mouth!" Dong's mother thought that he had to make him suffer a little, so he understood his intentions.
I don't know why this morning is so long, Dong Zhanyang looked at the other side again, and retracted his gaze in disappointment. This morning, Dong Zhanyang delivered the wrong meal once, and Dong's mother asked him to deliver the food, but he didn't hear it several times. Dong's mother saw her son's dejected appearance, so she had to ask Dong Zhanxu to send it.
Dong Zhanyang saw that his mother didn't ask him to deliver food, so he sat there in a daze, "Why didn't Pu Jia come today?" Why do I care so much that she doesn't come? You won't be told by your mother, will you? Probably not, I just told her that I forgot to take the little monk, so I was a little embarrassed and wanted to take it today. Yes, that's it! "Dong Zhanyang is just deceiving himself. Even if Pu Jia is not there, he can still find Pu Jia's mother to buy the little monk, not that Pu Jia has to be there to buy it. Dong Zhanyang is just looking for a reason to comfort himself now, how can he like girls when he is still young?
Dong Zhanyang is seventeen years old this year, one year older than Pu Jia, this age is the age of the beginning of love, and it is normal for you to be tempted when you meet a girl you like.
In the afternoon, Pu Jia still didn't come, Dong Zhanyang looked at the opposite side a few times and didn't see Pu Jia, thinking to himself: Pu Jia won't come in the future, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Dong's mother saw that Dong Zhanyang had been absent-minded all day, so she said to her youngest son: "Yangyang, you see that you have been absent-minded all day, why don't you go back first, your brother is here." ”
"Oh, okay, then I'll go back!" Dong Zhanyang knew that even if he was idle, it was already afternoon, and there were not many people, so he listened to his mother's instructions and went back first.
Dong Zhanyang didn't go home directly, his mood was very chaotic one day, he never believed that he would be so precocious, it must be an illusion. The square where the New Year's Festival is held is not far from the park where Pujia often goes, Dong Zhanyang went directly to the park after the New Year's Festival, he wanted to make himself quiet and relieve his anxious mood today.
Dong Zhanyang came to the park, and as he walked, he remembered the first time he saw the lake in Pujia. He walked to the lake and sat under the tree that Pu Jia had done, looking at the quiet lake, as if his mood at the moment was gradually quieting down with the lake, and he seemed to understand why Pu Jia liked to sit by the lake. After sitting by the lake for a while, Dong Zhanyang felt a little cold and went home.
Puyuan community, the sky is gradually darkening, just returned home Pujia looked at the watch on the wall, it was already half past six, my mother is coming back, I still want to cook some food first, and I can eat when my mother comes back. Although Pu Jia is still a student, she can already cook, and when she was a child, her mother was busy, and she and her sister often helped her mother cook.
Pu Jia was cooking, thinking about today's events, the cousin of the aunt's family gave birth, and Pu Jia's mother asked Pu Jia to visit. Although there were not many people on the New Year's Festival, a student in Pujia was not at ease in Pujia, so he looked at the stall by himself and asked Pujia to go to the hospital for him.
My cousin gave birth to a girl, and her skin was red and wrinkled, and she closed her eyes as if she had been sleeping, and she couldn't tell who she looked like. My cousin looked weak and pale when she had just given birth, but when she looked at the child, her eyes were full of maternal love.
Pu Jia asked her cousin if it hurt to have a baby? My cousin told her that it hurt a lot, and that my cousin had been having stomach aches since one o'clock yesterday afternoon and had not given birth until nine o'clock this morning. When Pu Jia arrived at the hospital, her cousin had just come out of the delivery room, and her strength had not yet recovered, so Pu Jia spent a day with her cousin in the hospital.
Pu Jia boiled some porridge, fried shredded potatoes, made a braised pork, and made a tomato scrambled egg, and it was already eight o'clock when everything was ready. It's time for Mom to come back, just thinking that the door will open, and Pu Dad and Pu Mom will come back together.
"Mom and Dad, you're back! I've already cooked the meal, so wash your hands and come and eat." Pu Jia saw her parents come back together, and knew that her father should be going to help her mother after work today.
"Good. How is your cousin? Raw? Pu Ma asked while washing her hands.
"It's born, it's a girl."
Pu Ma came out after washing her hands and sat down at the dining table: "It's good to give birth to a girl, the girl is intimate." ”
"Why is the newborn child so ugly? I didn't dare to say anything in the hospital, for fear that my cousin would be sad. Pu Jia said mischievously while eating.
"The children who just gave birth are like that, they will look good in a few days, you were born like that, don't you look so good-looking now, and your sister." Pu's mother explained and didn't forget to praise her daughter.
"Hehe, I haven't seen it before, isn't it the first time I've seen it today?" Pujia stuck out his tongue.
"Dad, are you going to help my mom today? How's it going, are there a lot of people today? Pu Jia asked Dad.
"Well, I go after work, and I don't have much today, and there should be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but just the two of you are there, be careful!" Pu Dad instructed again.
"Uh-huh, remember." Pu Jia replied while eating.
After eating, Pujia washed his face and fell asleep, and stayed in the hospital for a day today, more tired than he was on the New Year's Day.
