Chapter 50: Plans Can't Keep Up with Change
After all, the two of them are so old, and there is no excitement and can't sleep at all. Therefore, when He Yanfang came to wake up the two of them the next day, both of them were very refreshed.
"Ling Bai, can you tell me now, where are we going?" Xi Zimo said as he looked at Ji Lingbai at the door.
Ji Lingbai turned around and winked at Xi Zimo, "It's not interesting to tell you now, anyway, you'll know when you see it then." β
After speaking, he was afraid that Xi Zimo would continue to ask, so he left.
Looking at Ji Lingbai's back, Xi Zimo felt a little funny. When did your sister become so "naΓ―ve"?
Suddenly, I thought of something recently: maybe my sister is like this because of herself, and she wants to make herself easier. Such a sister is really heartwarming!
After quickly taking care of himself, Xi Zimo walked out of the room. At a glance, I saw that Ji Lingbai was being told by He Yanfang.
Finding that Xi Zimo looked over, Ji Lingbai turned around and smiled at him, opened his mouth and whispered, "Wait for me." β
Xi Zimo nodded with a smile, and then walked over. "Aunt He, we're leaving soon, don't talk about Ling Bai. β
He Yanfang only saw Xi Zimo at this time, "Oh, when did Zimo come over?"
"It's been here a long time ago, but you just didn't see it. Ji Lingbai whispered.
It's just that the distance between a few people is too close, and He Yanfang listened to it. I had already planned to let Ji Lingbai go, but now I ......
"What are you talking about? You dare to teach your mother a lesson, right?"
Seeing that his mother was "angry", Ji Lingbai hurriedly went over and hugged He Yanfang's hand, "How can it?"
At the same time, he glanced at Xi Zimo and asked the other party to say a few words.
Xi Zimo tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Aunt He, is the meal ready? There is still half an hour before we set off to catch the car." β
"It's still half an hour, it's all you ghost girl, it's a waste of time!" He Yanfang said as she hurried to the kitchen and brought out the meal that had been prepared a long time ago.
At this time, Ling Manlan and Xi Junhan also came over.
"Yanfang's cooking skills are getting better and better. Ling Manlan praised.
"It's just some home-cooked side dishes, and if you like to eat it, you can eat more. "He Yanfang doesn't care about it.
But Xi Junhan knew that his wife had never been in the kitchen before, and after marrying him, she slowly learned to cook.
Quietly holding Ling Manlan's hand under the table, Ling Manlan didn't expect that her casual words would actually cause Xi Junhan to react like this, so she responded decisively, tightened her hands, and glanced at the other party.
Xi Zimo, who saw this scene in his eyes, hurriedly fed several mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, covering the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Zimo, why are you eating so fast? β
When Ji Lingbai didn't speak, Xi Zimo ate very well, and before her words fell, she heard a cough.
The hands held by Xi Junhan and Ling Manlan also quickly separated.
"I said that you should eat slowly, it's okay!" Ji Lingbai patted Xi Zimo on the back, got up and poured him a glass of water and brought it over.
Suddenly, I found that Ling Manlan's face was a little red, "Mother Ling, are you uncomfortable, why is your face so red?"
Ling Manlan didn't look up, "Maybe, yes, it's too hot." β
"Is it too hot? Why didn't I feel it. Ji Lingbai said and sat down.
Xi Zimo didn't expect Ji Lingbai's EQ to be so low, "Ling Bai, help me clip a ball." β
Although Ji Lingbai didn't understand why Xi Zimo asked him to clip it, it was obvious that the ball was closer to Xi Zimo. But I still gave him a few clips, "If you like it, eat more." β
When Xi Zimo lowered his head to eat, he found that Ji Junhan's face twitched, and it turned out that Ling Manlan felt embarrassed, so he pinched Xi Junhan's thigh under the table.
Ji Lingbai is not such a stupid person, and now he has seen a little clue, and he also feels that his previous behavior was too innocent. hurriedly disguised himself and said to Xi Zimo, "You eat quickly, we're going to be late." β
Xi Zimo also knew her sister's embarrassment at this time, and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I've eaten, let's go." β
As soon as he heard Xi Zimo's words, Ji Lingbai immediately left his seat after saying a few words to the adults, and went upstairs to take down the things of the two.
As soon as he came down, he sent four adults to stand downstairs. Ji Kaifeng took two steps forward, "Ling Bai, just now your Aunt Zhang called and said that your grandmother has been talking about you for the past few days, do you want to wait until you come back and play for a few days?"
According to the past practice, Ji Lingbai would go back to his hometown to accompany Grandma Ji for a period of time after the holiday, but this time because of Xi Zimo's matter, Ji Lingbai didn't expect this stubble at all. Now Aunt Zhang, who is taking care of Grandma Ji, must have called because there were a lot of students who had been on vacation recently, and Grandma Ji was thinking about Ji Lingbai.
remembered that since she went to school, she came to the city because of convenience, and Grandma Ji said that she was used to life in the countryside and didn't want to come and live with her. So we only get together when there's something.
"Dad, what are you waiting for? I'll go now. β
Ji Kaifeng frowned, "Didn't you plan to take Xi Zimo out to see your project." β
Xi Zimo looked at her sister wanting to go back, and thought of the kind Grandma Ji, "It's okay for me, it's good to go see Grandma Ji." β
Ji Lingbai glanced at Xi Zimo, "I should have gone back a long time ago, but there have been a lot of things recently, and I forgot about it." It's the same when I go back now, and it's the same whenever I go to see my project. β
"Oh well. Ji Kaifeng patted Ji Lingbai's shoulder, "Accompany the old man more." β
Ji Lingbai nodded to indicate that he knew, and then called Xi Zimo and left the house together. As soon as I went out, I called the person I had contacted before, "I'm sorry, I have some temporary things here, and it is estimated that it will be a few days late, so you can go first." β
The man seemed to say something, Xi Zimo heard Ji Lingbai explain this to the other party in a low voice, and finally said: "Let's find a car by ourselves when the time comes, yes, don't worry, it's not a big deal." β
Ji Lingbai quickly hung up the phone and took Xi Zimo's hand, "Zimo, I'm sorry, I didn't arrange it." We went back to our hometown to accompany my grandmother for three days. β
"It's hard to go back, and I'm going to have to stay a few more days. Xi Zimo knew that Ji Lingbai was trying to distract himself and not be so negative, "And it's the same everywhere I am, it doesn't matter." β
Ji Lingbai pursed his lips, "Where is the same?"
"It's the same everywhere. Ling Bai, you're just too persistent. Xi Zimo shook his head, and walked in front of him with his luggage first.
Ji Lingbai looked at Xi Zimo's back and was a little angry: Who is he doing this for?
In about two hours, Ji Lingbai and Xi Zimo arrived at their hometown. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found Grandma Ji standing under the willow tree waiting. Thinking of Aunt Zhang's words, Grandma Ji should have been like this all this time, Ji Lingbai instantly felt that his idea of only staying for three days before was really wrong.
"Grandma!" Ji Lingbai ran over and hugged Grandma Ji, "Why did it come out with such a big sun?"
"I've seen that the students have been on vacation lately, and I wonder if you should come back too. I'm fine anyway, so I'll just turn around and take a look. And I'm standing under a tree, and I can't get the sun. Grandma Ji took Ji Lingbai's hand and started babbling.
After talking for a while, he found that Xi Zimo was still standing behind the two of them, "Zimo is also here? β
Ji Lingbai nodded, "Yes, I also found out, and now they are almost taller than me." "Actually, Ji Lingbai is three years older than Xi Zimo after all, so if the two stand together, Xi Zimo is still a few points worse than Xi Zimo.
Xi Zimo obediently called Grandma Ji, then looked at Ji Lingbai and said, "Let's go back and put the things first, I don't know how long Grandma has been waiting here?"
Although the tone of the last sentence was faint, Ji Lingbai still heard Xi Zimo's care for Grandma Ji.
"Yes, grandma, let's go back first, I'm almost hungry after such a long ride. Ji Lingbai shook Grandma Ji's arm and said.
Grandma Ji narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Return, this is the time, your Aunt Zhang should have cooked well, but I didn't know that you would come over today, I'm afraid it won't be enough." β
Ji Lingbai didn't have this concern at all, after all, it was Aunt Zhang's father who contacted him, and his father must have told Aunt Zhang that he was coming back
Sure enough, when a few people went home, Aunt Zhang had already fried several dishes, and saw a few people hurriedly greeting, "I'm back so soon, it just so happens that my dishes are almost ready." β
As soon as Xi Zimo put the things away, Aunt Zhang served the last soup, "The dishes are all ready, you can eat them." With that, he was ready to leave.
"Xiao Zhang, why don't you ...... today" Grandma Ji's words were swallowed as soon as she said a few words. It turned out that Aunt Zhang had always eaten with Grandma Ji, because Grandma Ji always complained that eating alone was tasteless.
But Xi Zimo and Ji Lingbai are both over today, Aunt Zhang is a maid after all, and it is not good to eat with them. Looking at Grandma Ji's somewhat guilty eyes, Aunt Zhang took the initiative to say, "My daughter just called and said that she brought some things back today and asked me to go back and do it." β
"Then be careful on the road, wait a minute, take these things back and give them to your little grandchildren to taste." Grandma Ji said and took out some of the things that Ji Lingbai had just bought back and gave them to Aunt Zhang.
"Then I'm welcome, just put it there when you're done, and I'll come back and clean it up in a while." Xiao Zhang took the things and said to Grandma Ji.
When the three of them started to eat, Ji Lingbai said the question in his heart, "Has Aunt Zhang always eaten here?"
Grandma Ji nodded, "It's not interesting for me to eat alone, and it's troublesome for her to run back and forth." β
