274 Refuge

"Bang bang bang", the door of Lao He's house rang. The old man lying on the sofa looked lazy, his eyes half-closed, and he looked extremely lazy.

The young man standing at the door did not stop, but the knocking at the door did not stop, and after a while, this time finally woke up Lao He who was lying on the sofa.

The old man slowly got up from the couch, and he hobbled to the door.

At this time, the only one who would come to visit him was He Beichen, Lao He gently opened the door, and as he expected, Beichen stood at the door, but there was an indescribable tiredness on his thin cheeks.

"Chenchen, you're ...... so late" Lao He looked at him curiously, and the hour hand of the clock on the wall was already pointing to eleven o'clock.

I don't know why He Beichen came here so late, it stands to reason that he shouldn't bother at this point.

Beichen didn't speak, just walked in silently. The boy knew in his heart that there were some things he couldn't tell his grandfather too clearly, otherwise, he would not be the only one who would hurt his spirits.

The boy walked into the living room and gently closed the door to the house. He Beichen's abnormal performance made Lao He startled.

"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? There was a hint of hesitation in the old man's eyes, he could clearly sense that Bei Chen was hiding something from him, but he couldn't tell what it was.

He Beichen also seemed to see the old man's thoughts, "Grandpa, I want to sleep at your house today." The boy said lightly, and Lao He hurriedly showed a happy expression.

"Okay, okay, I'll go lay the quilt for you." Lao He said and walked to his bedroom.

He Beichen stood at the door of the living room with a wooden face, and he began to look around at the decoration of his grandfather's room, the wooden bookcase, which was still as simple as ever.

He hadn't been to his grandfather's house for a long time, so he was very happy.

In this way, it seems that it is not a big deal not to stay in the new home, and living with his grandfather is just what he wants.

The old man was busy in the bedroom, and the preoccupied young man stood there, he had so many things to say to his grandfather, but he didn't know how to say them.

"Chenchen, I've laid the mattress for you." Lao He in the next room called his grandson gently, and the old eyes were already cloudy, but they were still mixed with a little love.

"Oh, got it, Grandpa." The boy replied lightly, and then moved his steps towards the bedroom.

This is a small room, with snow-white walls and wood-colored curtains, it is not clear, but it makes He Beichen feel a long-lost warmth.

It's like waking up from a nightmare and seeing some light. Such a description may be a bit excessive, but it is true for Beichen.

"How's it going, Chenchen? The futon was freshly changed for you, and I'm sure you'll be warm tonight. ”

The old man looked confident as he spoke, and there was an inexplicable love on his white eyebrows, Bei Chen hadn't seen him like this for a long time.

These days, the teenager is always busy with his studies and has little time to visit him.

So when I came this time, I found that my grandfather was much older, but the smile on that old face did not decrease at all.

"I said you kid, why do you have time to come and see me today?" The old man smiled and patted the young man's shoulder, it was not difficult to see that Lao He was very happy today, and it was difficult to hide those expectations in his cloudy eyes.

The old man has been unaccompanied for too long, and it is not pleasant to be alone in an empty room every day.

Sometimes, he would stare blankly at the bare wall, but, looking at it, Lao He would lie on the sofa and fall asleep.

"I ......" He Beichen pointed to himself and smiled embarrassedly, grandpa's words inevitably sounded a little sad, and this was more like a complaint.

It seems that the young man has been busy these days, and he has even forgotten that there is an old man waiting for him to come home, and even, he does not expect how long he can accompany him, but just wants to look at him twice and say a few words to him.

This is a seemingly simple wish, but Beichen can't satisfy him.

"Nothing. I just missed you, so I wanted to come and see. ”

The aggrieved words that the boy wanted to spit out were swallowed into his stomach by him, and turned into a white lie.

If he hadn't had an argument with his grandfather this time, he probably wouldn't have thought of the refuge of his grandfather's house.

"Really?" Lao He raised his eyebrows, but he looked like an old naughty boy, "You shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" There are wrapped mutton dumplings in the refrigerator, and I will give them to you. ”

As he spoke, the old man got up and walked to the refrigerator in the living room. He Beichen opened his mouth but didn't say a word, the young man really hadn't eaten dinner yet. I just don't know how grandpa saw it.

The old man rummaged through the refrigerator and muttered, "You're here, I know your favorite dumplings with mutton and carrots." ”

There was an inexplicable enthusiasm on that old face, and it seemed that all the excitement on Lao He's body was ignited from the moment Beichen entered the house.

Not long after, a plate of hot dumplings came out of the pot, "Chenchen, the dumplings are coming." It was a familiar voice in his ears, but when he heard it again this time, he was inexplicably moved.

He Beichen gently came to the dining table and sat down, but he touched his grandfather's spring-like eyes.

"Hungry, huh? Eat quickly. The old man said and hurriedly handed the chopsticks to Beichen. He Beichen looked at the plate of white and fat dumplings, and there was a hot current that couldn't help but stir in his heart.

It's been too long since he's tasted his grandfather's craft. Just gently picking it up with chopsticks and then putting it in my mouth and biting it slightly, it still has the familiar taste when I was young, and it doesn't seem to have changed anything.

"How? Not bad, right? Lao He looked at him with joy, just as when he was young, his grandfather's eyes were so bright and full of expectation.

"Well, that's good, I love it." The boy said and couldn't wait to fill his mouth, revealing a greedy eating look.

"I've been busy for a long time today. I've wrapped the dumplings several times. The old man said, and the old face couldn't help but look a little proud.

"If you like it, eat more, and when you come back next time, I'll give you a bag." A smile tugged at the corner of Lao He's mouth as he spoke, and the old man's eyes narrowed into a line. He still couldn't wait to put Beichen's bowl in it.

"Well, grandpa, don't patronize me, you can eat too." He Beichen smiled a little embarrassedly as he spoke.

"I don't eat, you eat, just watch you eat, I'm happy." The old man's gray hair shone in the light.
