Chapter 38: Encounter and Friendship

On the third day after returning home, Shen Yin took her grandmother to a neighboring village. She remembers when she was a child, her grandmother's friend, Grandma Tang. When she was seven or eight years old, Grandma Tang would often come to her house and bring her and Shen Yuehuan many beautiful clothes; After she went to high school, she heard that Grandma Tang had a serious illness, and since then, Grandma Tang has never been here. And grandma will still find time to visit her and chat with her.

She went to Grandma Tang's house and saw that the door was open. She knocked on the door, and there was a burst of dog barking inside, and a middle-aged woman came out, recognized her grandmother at a glance, and said to them enthusiastically: "Auntie, you are here, please come in!" ”

"You're Laurel, is your mother okay?" Grandma looked at the middle-aged woman and said with concern.

"My mom is in good health, and she often talks about you." Laurel held her grandmother by her arms and led her to a room. The room smells of sandalwood, is brightly lit, has a single bed and a simple wooden table with a 50-inch LCD TV on it and a wheelchair in the corner. Yue Gui walked to the bed and said softly, "Mom, Aunt Qin has come to visit you." She helped Grandma Tang up and sat on the bed, "Auntie, you and my mother talk first, and I'll pour tea." ”

Grandma Tang is now the same as Grandma, with gray hair, wrinkled face, an old look, and her body has become very inflexible. When Grandma Tang saw them, the expression on her face softened slightly.

Grandma slowly sat on the edge of the bed, held Grandma Tang's hand and said, "Little Tang, we came to see you." ”

"Well, you're here, I dreamed last night that you were coming, but I didn't expect it to be true." Grandma Tang smiled kindly, and her eyes fell on Shen Yin, "This is your eldest granddaughter, who has grown so big." ”

Shen Yin walked over, took Grandma Tang's hand, and said slowly: "Grandma Tang, I am Shen Yin, are you okay?" ”

"Well, everything is fine, it's rare for you to come here, sit here." Grandma Tang patted the position next to the bed kindly, took her hand, picked up a banana on the table next to the bed and handed it to her, "Take whatever you like, I remember you loved it when you were a child." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Tang!" Shen Yin took the banana and helped the pillow behind Grandma Tang, "Grandma Tang, you talk, I'll help Aunt Yuegui." ”

Shen Yin helped her grandmother to Grandma Tang's bedside and went out.

Yuegui poured tea in the other room, "Aunt Yuegui, I'll help you." Shen Yin carried two cups of tea.

Yuegui walked behind Shen Yin and brought the tea to Grandma Tang's room, "Auntie, you guys talk slowly first, and I'll come over after I finish handling the rest of the things." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you, let's not be busy yet." Grandma politely took the tea and said with a smile.

Shen Yin and Yuegui walked out of the room, Yuegui turned her head and asked, "You haven't been here for about a year, and my mother still asks about you from time to time, and now when I see my aunt, it seems that her health is not as good as before." She sighed slightly, "Alas, people are old, and they are the same every year." ”

"Well, grandma's health is indeed not as good as before, and her memory is not good, so I thought about taking her to meet her old friend again and talk about some family life while grandma still remembers." Shen Yin said abruptly, and glanced at her grandmother.

"Also, I'm afraid these are the only things we can do for them as juniors." Yuegui turned her head and said happily, "My mother hasn't been so happy for a long time, thank you for coming." ”

"Auntie, when did Grandma Tang become like this?"

"It's been four years since that accident, and my mom was seriously injured in that accident, and since then, she hasn't been able to get up again." Yuegui sighed and smiled with relief: "However, Aunt Qin comes every year, as long as Aunt Qin comes, my mother's mood will be a lot happier." ”

Shen Yin chatted with Yuegui, and she said apologetically: "Auntie, grandma's health has not been good recently, she often forgets the past, and her memory is getting worse and worse, it is estimated that this is also the last time grandma will come to see Grandma Tang." ”

"How so?" Laurel sighed, "Alas! You don't have to worry too much, people are getting older, and these diseases will come to your door. ”

Grandma and Grandma Tang chatted for a long time, but Shen Yin didn't bother them, and after lunch at Aunt Yuegui's house, they went home.

By the evening, the grandmother had forgotten what had happened during the day, and the grandmother sat on the sofa, reclining on the pillow of the sofa and fell asleep. Shen Yin took a glass of milk and gently shook her grandmother, telling her to finish the milk and go to sleep.

"Yin'er, when did you come back?" Grandma looked at her in amazement, without the slightest memory of the day.

Shen Yin complied with her grandmother, worried about her condition, "Grandma, I just came back." ”

Grandma drank milk and went to sleep, and Shen Yin received a WeChat message from Hu Xiangxiang, which read: "See you at the café at 11 o'clock tomorrow at noon." ”

Shen Yin didn't know why Hu Xiangxiang suddenly contacted her, so she asked her what was going on.

A short message immediately appeared on the phone screen, "Of course it's a good thing, you must come, we'll see you soon." ”

It seemed that she couldn't ask anything in detail, and she also replied: "Okay, see you or leave." ”

Four days after a week's vacation, Shen Yin opened his notebook, saw the recent work schedule, and found that there were still two-thirds of the projected workload left this week. Since she completed Zhou Fansheng's novel, she has taken on two novels by other writers, and now she has completed less than half of them, with the resources provided by Zhou Fansheng and her own efforts, she has finally achieved a little in the comic industry, and her dream since childhood is about to come true - to become a famous cartoonist.

Now she is still working very hard, whenever she has free time, she will look through novels and books and storyboard related knowledge, an excellent comic not only needs delicate and vivid characters, but also needs solid storyboard expertise, only the combination of the two, in order to create a more excellent work. Usually when catching the bus or eating, Shen Yin will always carry a book in his bag.

On this day, Shen Yin deliberately dressed up and wore a dark pink dress and high heels of the same color. With her understanding of Hu Xiangxiang, it must not be a simple matter for Hu Xiangxiang to find her this time.

She had just entered the coffee shop and saw several familiar faces.

"Shen Yin, you're finally here." Hu Xiangxiang was wearing a dark blue off-the-shoulder shirt and a black hip-wrapping skirt, and her long chestnut hair was draped over her shoulders, she walked to Shen Yin's side very enthusiastically and smiled slightly: "Aren't you surprised?" We old classmates haven't seen each other in eight years, how many can you recognize? ”

Shen Yin's high school tablemate, Zhao Qian, walked up to her, "Shen Yin, I haven't seen you for a long time, we haven't seen each other since we graduated from high school." ”

"yes, my best tablemate, long time no see." Shen Yin sat beside them, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces around them, and began to chat.

Fifteen minutes later, "The people are almost here, let's go!" Hu Xiangxiang said suddenly.

"By the way, Xiangxiang, you brought us together, you didn't just want to get old classmates together, right?" Mo Yunqing said with a smile. Shen Yin remembered that when she was in high school, Mo Yunqing and Hu Xiangxiang had a good relationship and were often inseparable.

"Yunqing, you still know me best, I really need a small favor from the three of you, but before that, I have some shopping coupons for the 'Gorgeous Woman' mall here, let's go play together today." Hu Xiangxiang took out three coupons from her handbag and put them on the table.

"Xiangxiang, I haven't seen you for a few years, how did you become so mysterious?" Mo Yunqing teased.

"Well, you have to make good use of the hard-won opportunity to play." Zhao Qian said happily: "I can finally temporarily get rid of the housework of 'bringing a baby'." ”

"Alright, let's go." Hu Xiangxiang's Buick parked in the backyard, and they got in the car and left.

Shen Yin and Zhao Qian sat in the back seat, Hu Xiangxiang drove, and Mo Yunqing sat in the co-pilot. Zhao Qian has been complaining about all kinds of trivial things about raising her children, and the whole car is full of her complaints, and Shen Yin can only listen to her complaints patiently.

"Zhao Qian, aren't you tired of talking about this all day long? The good mood that was finally ruined by you. Hu Xiangxiang said helplessly.

Zhao Qian said nonchalantly: "You haven't married yet, so you are not qualified to talk about me." ”

"Okay, all mothers in the world are great, bring your son out one day and let us see, I like children very much." Shen Yin smiled and said roundly.

"Okay, my family is cute, by the way, I have a cute photo on my phone." As she spoke, Zhao Qian took out her mobile phone and flipped out a few cute photos for her to see.

Shen Yin saw the child in the photo, "It is indeed very cute, fleshy." ”

Just as they were chatting happily, Hu Xiangxiang stopped the lane: "It's here!" ”

The four of them came to the "Gorgeous Woman" shopping mall, Hu Xiangxiang walked next to Shen Yin, she gently patted her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Do you remember Yan Pei?" I heard that he had an accident recently, do you know the specifics? ”

"What's the matter?" She asked, confused.

"Huh? I don't know that he was in a car accident recently, and he is probably lying in the hospital now. Hu Xiangxiang said, a look of surprise on her face for a moment, and then a look of concern.

"What the hell is going on? How did he get into a car accident? Shen Yin's heart was a little uncomfortable.

"When we're done at the mall, let's go see him."

"Well, that's a deal."

After shopping in the mall, three hours had passed, and Shen Yin sat on a chair on the side to rest. Zhao Qian came over and said, "Shen Yin, why are you still alone now, what about them?" ”

"Xiangxiang and Yunqing are inside now, I'll come over and rest for a while." Shen Yin pointed to a small shop and said.

Zhao Qian took out a piece of a child's clothes and said, "How about you take a look at this dress?" Is it more cute to wear it in my house? ”

Shen Yin saw a gray suit embroidered with Pikachu on it and nodded. "When they come out, let's go to afternoon tea together."

Hu Xiangxiang bought a lot of things, and Mo Yunqing was the same as her. After they finished drinking afternoon tea, Hu Xiangxiang smiled apologetically, "Yunqing, coriander, I'm very sorry, I suddenly have something to deal with, so I can't send you back." ”

"It's okay, we have to thank you today." Mo Yunqing shook the things in his hand and said.

"Alright, we'll meet again next time." Hu Xiangxiang said.
