Chapter 10: The Second Day of the First Month
"Happy New Year, Auntie!"
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year! ”
It is Aunt Wang in the community, who is very kind, no matter who she meets, she always greets her with a smile and greets her first. Aunt Wang lives in a building in front of her grandmother's house, Aunt Wang's son is three years older than Yinuo, and often goes to and from school together when he goes to elementary school. Later, Aunt Wang's son was admitted to the university and went to other places. For a while, grandma still wanted Yinuo to marry Aunt Wang's son! However, Aunt Wang is harmonious and angry, but her son's turn to be a lifelong event is quite harsh. During the chat, the grandmother learned that Aunt Wang originally looked down on Yinuo, disliked Yinuo's complicated family background, and her mother passed away early.
Of course, this is all gossip that I heard from others later, and it cannot be true.
The so-called, there is no wind and no waves, and there is no wind. Rumors are not blowing in the wind.
When grandma heard these gossip, she also stopped thinking about marrying Aunt Wang's family.
At that time, Yinuo was also relieved. Aunt Wang's son, Wang Haoyu, is not a good stubble. People who don't know him look at him standing there and don't like to talk, and after the bun laughs, it's quite kind and harmless, in fact, there are a lot of ghost ideas. When he was a child, Yinuo was bullied by him many times, and later, Dongsheng of his aunt's family had a fight with Wang Haoyu, and Wang Haoyu didn't dare to bully Yinuo.
Brother Dongsheng doesn't know what's going on now?
Thinking of Brother Dongsheng, Aunt Wang and Wang Haoyu, Yinuo unknowingly entered the community.
"Yinuo is back!"
The doorman Uncle Liu.
"Hey! Happy New Year, Grandpa Liu! ”
"Fun, fun."
This is an old community, and Grandpa Liu has been working as a doorman for more than ten years. Grandpa Liu knows everything about the people in the community. Last year, the neighborhood was renovated and looks neat and bright. The road in the community has also been widened, and the cluttered trees in the small flower beds behind the buildings have been sorted out, bulldozed, and built into a cement pavement for parking. Now there are more and more people with cars, and it is like this that there is an old community of more than 20 years, and there are not enough parking spaces.
Grandma lives alone in this community, and my uncle's house is not far from here, so the community is newer, and my uncle's house is bigger. During the Chinese New Year, uncles and aunts still came to grandma's place for the New Year, and today is the second day of the new year, they should have gone back.
After passing through the two buildings, you will arrive at the building of Grandma Yinuo.
The stairs are also freshly painted, and if they come in the middle of the year, the handrails of the stairs must be covered with dust, and no one uses the stairs, and no one wipes them. However, the stairs must be clean today, because grandma will clean the stairs every year before the Chinese New Year.
Yinuo climbed up to the second floor, and it was still the old-fashioned door, wiped clean, and the blessing characters and couplets were neatly pasted.
Yinuo raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"It's coming, it's coming. It must be Yinuo who is back. ”
Grandma's cheerful voice could be heard from outside the door.
The door opened, and the smiling face of the grandmother seemed to be much younger.
"Happy New Year, Grandma! I wish you a long and 100 years old! Yinuo congratulated his grandmother with a smile.
"Whoa! I wish my Yinuo more and more beautiful as he grows and becomes more beautiful. Grandma took Yinuo's arm and looked at it carefully, touched it, and smiled so that the wrinkles on her face became deeper and deeper.
Grandma smiled, pulled Yinuo and turned into the house, and said, "Come in, your father and aunt are here!" ”
In the house, the TV is on, and the Spring Festival Gala is being rebroadcast, (I heard that there are Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi at this year's Spring Festival Gala, so look forward to it!) The host Zhu Xun is reporting the show, her voice is mellow and magnetic, very good.
The smiling father and the impatient aunt sat on the sofa, while Xiao Yong sat on the chair and played with his mobile phone without raising his head. You don't have to guess to know that he must be playing a game.
"Dad, Auntie." Yinuo shouted.
"Whoa!" Father Xia responded happily, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to say, just smiling at Yinuo.
The aunt snorted casually, looked down at her phone, probably scrolling through Douyin, video by video.
"Huh! What about Zihe? ”
Grandma looked behind Yinuo.
"Zihe has something to do temporarily, and he can't leave." Yinuo put down the gift, just to cover his face that was red with shame, Yinuo didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that his grandmother would worry, and he didn't want to talk about this disappointing topic at this time.
Grandma's puzzled look was lost for a moment, and she hurriedly went down the slope.
"Oh! Oh! Something matters. ”
"Sit down, grandma will get you something to eat, put a mat first, and cook in a while!" A smile crept up the wrinkled face again.
Grandma hurriedly entered the kitchen, and the family of four sat awkwardly together, and the cheerful sound on the TV covered up this embarrassment.
Yinuo also took out his mobile phone and looked at it casually, showing his hometown, food, and beautiful scenery in WeChat.
The afterglow swept over, and the aunt touched the arm of Xia's father, Xia Shuiqing, with her elbow, and squeezed her eyebrows at him, Xia Shuiqing frowned slightly and moved to the side, causing the aunt to roll her eyes.
Yinuo thinks it's better to give the living room to their family of three. So, Yinuo, put away the mobile phone, and said, "I'll go see grandma." ”
With that, he slipped into the kitchen.
"Grandma!" Yinuo shouted.
"Why don't you watch TV outside?" Grandma was making dumplings, and she glanced at her and asked.
"I've watched TV thirty nights, and I'll come in to help grandma!" Yinuo replied as a matter of course.
Yinuo didn't know what to do, but she followed her grandmother around, and wherever her grandmother went, she followed her, like when she was a child, and she couldn't drive away.
"Why do I want you to help, it's rare for you to see your father, go and accompany him, it's good to talk to him!"
Grandma glanced towards the living room, her eldest son Xia Shuiqing, father and wife, didn't know what to whisper. Each other is a little impatient. Grandma remained silent, continued to look at the pot on the gas stove, and thought: It's just that Shen Rulan wants to go back.
"He doesn't need me to accompany him." Yinuo didn't look back at the family of three in the living room, only pouted and complained to his grandmother.
"You kid."
Grandma pulled out a hand and nodded Yinuo's head. Yinuo didn't shy away from it, and gave grandma a point.
Grandma's hands were still stained with water, and it was cold. Yinuo's heart is warm.
Yinuo smirked at his grandmother. Grandma couldn't help but laugh.
"Here, serve the bowl."
"Whoa!"
Yinuo stuck out his tongue, held the bowl, and took the chopsticks. I ate it on the small table in the kitchen. Dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, Yinuo's favorite.
Yinuo ate it quickly.
Wash the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the cupboard. I took a small stool, sat next to my grandmother, and helped her pick up vegetables.
Yinuo didn't like to go out to play since he was a child, so he loved to listen to his grandmother's nagging and help his grandmother work. Grandma's voice is like the winter sun, shining warmly on people.
When Dad came back, every time, Grandma would push Yinuo over, wanting the father and daughter to talk. Grandma didn't know that at first, Yinuo hated her father.
Yinuo first met Aunt Shen, that is, Shen Rulan, Yinuo's stepmother, on the day her mother died.
On that day, Yinuo had to attend two cram schools, one in art art painting, the other in art art diagonally, Yangfan Building to make up mathematics, two classes next to each other. Because of the proximity, sometimes, Yinuo's mother doesn't ride, she always walks over with Yinuo. But, more often, she sent Yinuo to Yimei, and after Yimei's class, she directly let Yinuo walk to Yangfan Building by herself.
That day, my mother didn't know how to be free, so she came over to Yimei to pick up Yinuo.
Walking to the door and crossing the street, my mother didn't know what she saw, so she let go of Yinuo's hand, walked quickly across the road, and ran towards the opposite side,......
A speeding car, flying over, stopped, and Yinuo only saw her mother float to the ground like a butterfly,...... Yinuo was stunned, looked at his mother, and then looked at the opposite side where his mother was going to pass,......。 On the other side, Dad was held by Aunt Shen, and the smile was still on his face,......
Mom must have seen Dad across the road...... And also...... Aunt Shen.
Since then, Dad has not dared to face Yinuo, he left Yinuo to Yinuo's grandmother, married Aunt Shen, and left.
Time is a grinder, and there is not much left of love and hate. Like a painting, as time passes, dust fills the picture, and the original painting is obscured and blurred. One day, it will disappear between time and dust.
Dad didn't know when he felt guilty and wanted to make amends.
However, Yinuo has grown up, grown up to the point where he doesn't need anyone to live a strong life.
Later, my grandmother also knew that she couldn't help it, and every time, she persuaded her, but she also had an indifferent attitude towards the result, and never scolded Yinuo.
Grandma just loves to pet Yinuo.
"When are you leaving?" Grandma asked.
Although Yinuo wanted to stay, he was afraid that his grandmother would ask about Zihe, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from his grandmother, so he would expose his stuffing. Yinuo thinks! If Yueyue is born, grandma probably won't have time to think about Zihe!
"I'll leave after dinner." Yinuo replied.
"In such a hurry?" Grandma raised her head suddenly, as if she had thought of something again, and asked with a smile, "Don't you worry about Zihe?" ”
"Hmm!" Yinuo replied with a blushing face.
Grandma smiled thoughtfully.
Grandma didn't know that Yinuo was blushing because she was lying, she thought that Yinuo was thin-skinned and embarrassed to admit that she was worried about Zihe! Yinuo knew that her grandmother had misunderstood, but she couldn't explain it. I felt even more guilty in my heart and didn't dare to look up.
"Then you've eaten, and you'll go back after seeing your uncle and aunt!" Grandma instructed Yinuo.
Yinuo nodded in response.
"Coming by car? Got a ticket? "Grandma doesn't care too much.
"No, the second year of junior high school, the car is not busy."
"Hmmm! Your father and your Aunt Shen will also leave in a while, you send your father. ”
"Got it."
Yinuo agreed, but he thought in his heart: What is there to give, and if you send it, it's like a pantomime, and you can't say anything. Besides, Aunt Shen is always unhappy to see herself. And, Xiao Yong, this half-brother, has nothing to say.
Look, he didn't even look at me today, he called me! I don't know, how Aunt Shen educated him.
Yinuo shook his head in his heart.
The younger brother is not as close as the brother who is not close.
