My father and I were the only ones left at the huge dinner table. After all, for my father, I was like air, not even as powerful as air, and could become a necessity for my father's life. So, I'm used to my father's disregard.

I raised my head and glanced at Cao Ge and Aunt Qin who were sitting next to the sofa, and suddenly I had a complicated and indescribable feeling in my heart. I looked at the empty chair where Zhang Jing and Chenchen had left, and there seemed to be a shadow left by them in the empty position. Sometimes I think that if Zhang Jing was really with her father, maybe everyone would be happier than now, at least not in the current one-pot porridge situation. But what's the use of saying that? It's not possible anymore.

Aunt Qin urged Cao Cancan to hurry up and eat. Cao Cancan shut his mouth and came to the table in a huff, as if he was a little unhappy that his speech had not yet been enjoyed.

The father wiped his hands and stood up to go upstairs. When passing by the sofa, he suddenly stretched out his head to look at Aunt Qin'er's feet: "Is there any medicine?" ”

Cao Ge and Aunt Qin were taken aback by their father's sudden inquiry, and Aunt Qin'er's expression was more like being flattered, she wanted to laugh but endured it, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it was already opened when I was in the hospital." ”

The father did not speak, but turned and walked upstairs. As I approached the turn on the second floor, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from far and near. It's grandma. When she saw her oncoming father, her expression suddenly became the same as the brilliant flowers in the spring that had passed: "Just now your eldest brother knocked on the door and said that your matter has been settled." That's great. Do you want to celebrate? It's been so long, and it's time for the house to be lively. ”

"Mom, if there's anything to celebrate, it's a shame to spread it. Forget it, forget it. No need to celebrate. ”

"Throw on whom? There are no outsiders, just a few of our family, and then call Xue Hao over, everyone is happy together. As the old saying goes, it's good to be lively, and it's good to be happy. ”

The father didn't seem to have any ideas, and he said to his grandmother lightly, "Okay, you can decide." He turned around and went upstairs.

Grandma continued to walk down, and suddenly saw Aunt Qin and Cao Ge still sitting on the sofa: "Don't you eat yet?" For this sentence, I don't know if grandma is asking Zhang Jing or Cao Ge. Cao Ge didn't reply, he didn't even raise his head, and then, grandma glanced at Aunt Qin: "Mom, I'm hungry, I won't eat first." Grandma didn't answer, so she went to the bathroom, and when she came back, she told Aunt Qin to raise her feet high when she went to bed at night. Otherwise, the more you control it, the more swollen it becomes, so that the swelling can go down a little faster. also told her that if she needed to pay more attention to the hospital and need to go to the hospital, she asked the driver Lao Zhao to drive her to turn around, and after speaking, she went upstairs.

Aunt Qin looked at the back of her grandmother going upstairs, blinked, and finally fixed her eyes on the cold meal on the coffee table, put away her smile, and didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know what Aunt Jean was thinking about at the time, but it was also about her grandmother, maybe it was about her father.

Cao Ge sat aside and looked at Aunt Qin: "Second sister-in-law, if you don't want to eat, go upstairs." Aunt Qin nodded, and Mother Wu ran over to hold Aunt Qin at this time, but was refused.

Cao Cancan and I sat at the dinner table, facing each other. I've basically finished eating,

It's just idle and stirring in the bowl with chopsticks. Cao Cancan took two bites, then suddenly looked up and said to me, "Cao Muxi, thank you for my mother today." I was stunned: "What? Thank you, thank you? ”

Cao Cancan's sudden thank you made me a little confused: "You take my mother to the hospital." ”

"Oh! Anyone who sees it will do it. Well, I won't tell you about this, but thank you anyway. ”

I smiled and didn't speak, and Cao Cancan also ended the topic of singing praises of virtue.

Before going to bed, I went to see Aunt Qin again, and after making sure it was okay, I went to my bedroom.

The next morning, my grandmother was obviously much happier than usual, and this change in mentality could be felt in the tone of her voice.

"Cao Qi, this time the matter has been done, and I can be regarded as having a big heart. The Cao family had a happy event. Cao Qi, I have an idea. How about a small celebration at home? Celebrate Cao Mu to clear the clouds and see the sunny sky. ”

"Celebration feast?" The uncle's tone was obviously questioning, and it seemed that, in the uncle's opinion, this kind of disgraceful thing was not suitable to end with the three words of celebration banquet. But he didn't want to correct the excitement in his grandmother's heart about the resolution of the Cao Mu incident, maybe in his grandmother's opinion, this matter was like a victory.

Cao Qi sandwiched an omelette: "Then how do you want to celebrate?" ”

"Well, I don't really have too many ideas, isn't this just asking you? I originally planned to have people in the family, and then I could call Xue Hao to get together together, what do you think? ”

Cao Qi smiled: "Yes, you just feel happy, what day is the time set, do you need me to prepare?" ”

Grandma said, "It's up to you, young people have fun." I'm not an old woman, I'm just making a suggestion.

"Mom? Otherwise, please ask Mu Xi's mother to come over, I think she sings really well. It was Zhang Jing who said this, and it was still confusing for her to mention Mu Xi's mother.

Sitting on the side, I seemed to have come to my senses for a long time, oh, Mu Xi's mother is talking about my mother! I had a spoon in my mouth, and my head kept flashing at the sight of my mom coming to sing. I'm thinking, about my mother coming again, should I let her come? Or do you want to find some excuse to prevaricate?

When he was thinking about it, Cao Ge echoed: "Yes, yes, big brother, you must call Mu Xi's mother, I really like her, and I had an idea some time ago." ”

When Cao Ge said this, his eyes narrowed into a slit. She looked at Cao Qi with a smile, and Cao Qi tilted her head: "What the hell are you paying attention to?" ”

"All of a sudden, I wanted to learn drama."

"You can pull it down, you learned to paint some time ago, and now you are learning to sing, can you do something serious?30 There are a few people, what's the use of you learning something useless?"

"Who told you that learning to sing is useless? It's just a hobby, okay? Cao Qi knew that he couldn't talk about Cao Ge, besides, this sister had also suffered a lot of injuries in her marriage in the first two years. Cao Qi also feels sorry for this sister, so as long as some questions raised by Brother Cao from childhood to adulthood, Cao Qi will basically be satisfied, let alone learn opera? This opera teacher is not from a famous role, and he doesn't need to be hired by the National Grand Theater, he is just a person around him, and it is very easy to get it, so he readily agreed.

Cao Ge was very happy. She was eating porridge and singing it all the time, and then she said to herself, which song is she going to learn from my mother? What kind of clothes to wear? What kind of basic skills do you need to learn first? Cao Ge was like a child at the time, and she gradually fell into her own reverie.

In fact, it is understandable that people sometimes seek some spiritual comfort, and this is normal. After all, people in this world are very busy, so each of us must learn to entertain ourselves, which is a benchmark for survival and a necessary law for survival.

In fact, after Cao Ge came back, the grievances and hatreds between her and her uncle, including her father, were not expressed so clearly, and I could only taste some complexities from the words. It's just that I slowly learned later that Cao Ge's marriage was actually very painful for her, and she even suffered from depression during that period of time.

Being able to come out of such a big pain is enough to see that her heart is still very strong. I don't know what the motivation to support Cao Ge out of the haze is, maybe she can't swallow the breath she can stand in the Cao family, or maybe it's the child he didn't have in his belly.

My father was at the dinner table, still not saying a word. It stands to reason that after such a twist and turn, my father should be happy. However, the father always seems to have something on his mind recently. Sometimes, whether it is Aunt Qin or Cao Cancan, the occasional sentence will light up the father's explosion barrel.

During that period of time, my father was like carrying a lot of pounds of explosives on his back, so much so that Cao Cancan told me when she was in the car that she thought her father was weird recently. I hummed, I can't say anything. Actually, I found out about my father's heart very early. Maybe it was when Zhang Jing entered the Cao family's house, or maybe it was because Zhang Jing decided to stay in the Cao family for a short time because of gallstone surgery.

The father put on his clothes, picked up his briefcase, and set out to go out. Grandma suddenly stopped him behind him: "Cao Mu, wait a minute." ”

While putting on his shoes, my father asked my grandmother, "Mom, what's the matter?" Grandma took out four cigarettes: "You take this well, and your eldest brother will help you with your errands, needless to say, they are all your own family." However, when you go back this time, the leaders above should still be dotted. I'm afraid I've already prepared something for you, so you must deliver this when you go today. You have a better attitude, and you are really confused when you tell the leader that you are good, and you have caused trouble to the leader and affected the reputation of the unit. And tell the leader that you will definitely do well in the future. "Grandma is like a child, chattering beside my father.

"Gee, don't get those things. My own work, I know it myself. The uncle smiled at the dining table at this time: "Mom, you better put things away." This is now a tight investigation, do you want to send Cao Mu in again through the matter of gift-giving? ”

Grandma patted her head: "Look at my foolishness, I actually forgot." Okay, okay, count me wrong, or do I think about something less. You go to work. After saying that, the grandmother pushed her father out of the door.
