Chapter 26: Wrinkles
The winter nights were so cold that even the moon hanging in the sky seemed to be covered with silver frost. On such nights, people mostly choose to hide in the bed and sleep in the bed instead of rowing on the small lake. Zhang Yue has such a leisurely and elegant feeling. Today he was in a good mood, not only did he get a day off, but he also got rid of the regret of the last mission.
In the hall, the members of the Kagagi gathered around the kotatsu, unwilling to leave for a moment, and the temperature was just right for them to be a little intoxicated. The rabbit hugged the fluffy rabbit doll, buried his face in the soft hair, and looked satisfied: "It's so comfortable!" ”
Lao Hei raised his head, glanced at the rabbit's intoxicated appearance, and said with a smile: "Rabbit, your face is peachy, and you are blinding me!" ”
"Get out, my name is white and red!"
The quarrel between the two is a daily routine, and everyone directly ignores the past. The aunt looked around and asked, "What about the moon?" Isn't he cold? There was no kotatsu in the room. ”
Yan Xi pointed to the door and said, "That guy is rowing outside to enjoy the moon, it's emotional!" ”
“...... Is his brain squeezed by the door? I heard it will snow tonight. Lao Hei said. As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden whistling sound outside the door, like a ghost crying wolf, and the screaming person was furious. Everyone turned their eyes on Lao Hei, who silently closed his mouth, not daring to say more.
Zhang Yue pushed open the door, and there was a howling wind and snow behind him, and a large stream of cold air rushed in with the open door. Everyone shivered, and the cold made everyone's faces flush. Zhang Yue was even worse, dressed in silver, trembling at the door.
"Hurry in, is it good to ventilate with the door open?" Yan Xi scolded. Zhang Yue's movements were a little stiff, but she still quickly closed the door and blocked the wind and snow from the door.
"Whew..."Zhang Yue took a long breath and slowly moved to the hearth to enjoy the hard-won warmth. Just now by the lake, the sudden snowstorm almost buried him, and the original good interest was also frozen into ice and shattered.
The nurse looked at Zhang Yue, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "How is it?" Is it cool? ”
“...... Okay, did the snow stop and go build a snowman? Zhang Yue took a sip of hot tea, her body finally warmed up, and then she began to yearn for the world outside the door again.
Yan Xi gave Zhang Yue a big roll of his eyes and said, "I don't think tomorrow, the nurse shouldn't give you a holiday." On a cold day, is kotatsu a real hobby? What a snowman to build! ”
Everyone thought it was just a joke, but they didn't expect the nurse to really nod her head and say, "It makes sense, you better not have a holiday tomorrow." ”
"Huh?"
"Comments?"
“... Not... Yes"
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Yue turned over, pressed the alarm clock on her mobile phone, glanced at the time in a daze, and continued to sleep with her head covered. He was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt a chill in his back, which pierced his bones and hurt. Zhang Yue turned over and got up, and when she turned her head, she saw Yan Xi holding a pair of cold hands and sitting on her bed.
"Cool? Winter cold palm, cool and refreshing, you deserve it! Yan Xi unceremoniously put her hands into Zhang Yue's arms, the rough and chapped skin was cold, clinging to Zhang Yue's body.
"Shhh As he spoke, he turned over and took out a pair of cotton gloves from the bedside table and threw them to Yan Xi.
"Cut, now you know that you care about me..."Yan Xi muttered while reluctantly putting on gloves, and the soft and warm cotton cloth wrapped her dry and peeling hands, making her face flush slightly, "Hurry up, the nurse is ready, are you embarrassed to let the girl wait?" ”
Zhang Yue looked at the still gray sky outside, sighed helplessly, turned over and got out of bed. After a while, after washing, Zhang Yue met with the nurse in the living room. The nurse has changed her usual simple and neat sports style, and the dress is even more shocking than the men's clothing that goes to the flower of desire.
The nurse actually wore a skirt, and it was a small black lace skirt, and a pair of warm black stockings and a pair of plush boots, which was a completely different style. In addition, the nurse also carefully braided a hemp braid, and painted light makeup on her face to modify it slightly. The whole person no longer has the usual big grinning atmosphere, but looks cute and cute, which makes people pity.
"Are you sure you're dressed like this...... Train with me? Zhang Yue asked.
The nurse pulled the hem of her skirt awkwardly and said, "Who said that you trained today, accompany me to a place." Also, only the three of us know how I'm dressed today, and I don't want a fourth, you know? ”
"Where are we going?"
"Go and volunteer."
Before leaving, Zhang Yuexiang gave a thumbs up to Lao Hei, who had been hiding under the sofa and crying excitedly.
......
On the outskirts of City A are tall buildings, and in these buildings there is an ordinary family. said it was someone's house, but there was only one old lady living there. The old lady's surname is Xu, she is 80 years old this year, but her body is still strong, and she still has the strength to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard and the famous tree.
Today is Mrs. Xu's 80th birthday, and many neighbors have come to give gifts, but people found that she is still the only one in Mrs. Xu's family. In their impression, Mrs. Xu seems to always be alone. They were very curious, so they asked Mrs. Xu, but every time they got the same answer: "Baby, they are busy, they don't have time to come back, they will come back to see me during the New Year's holidays." ”
But...... During the New Year's holidays, people only see the figure of Mrs. Xu alone.
Mrs. Xu didn't seem to care about this, she was announcing her birthday at home. Last night, she received two phone calls, one from her son and one from her daughter.
"Mom, tomorrow is your 80th birthday, right? I took a leave of absence from the company to see you tomorrow to congratulate you on your birthday. ”
"Eh, okay, mom will cook something for you at home, you like to eat braised fish the most, I'll ask Lao Li next door to catch one for you when I turn around, okay?"
"Good, good! I've got something to do, I'll see you tomorrow! ”
......
"Mom, Ming'er is your 80th birthday, right? My sister told me. ”
"Yes, your sister said she wanted to come to see me, what about you?"
"My sister is gone, of course I'm going too!"
"That's good, that's good, Mom will make you sweet and sour sour slurp meat, okay? You used to love it. ”
"Okay, then I'll be busy first, hang up."
......
That sentence is not a cordial greeting, and it is already a natural voice for this 80-year-old lady. For this heavenly sound, Mrs. Xu got up at five o'clock in the morning and pasted festive red flower paper-cuts to the house, and hung ribbons and balloons, and the whole house was filled with a joyful atmosphere, but when I saw the white temples soaked in sweat, a strange sadness destroyed the atmosphere.
Ding dong!
Mrs. Xu had just put a ribbon on it, and when she heard the crisp doorbell, she hurriedly shouted, "Eh, it's coming!" Mrs. Xu directly threw down the unfinished ribbon, took three steps and made two steps, ran to the door at a trot, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Babies..."
The nurse was now at the door, looking at Mrs. Xu who was about to hug herself with her hands open, with an embarrassed face. Zhang Yue behind her watched all this quietly and didn't say a word.
"Grandma Xu, it's me...... Yunhan. The nurse laughed.
Mrs. Xu was stunned, but soon smiled again: "Yunhan, it's okay, it's okay, Yunhan can also hug it!" As she spoke, Mrs. Xu stepped forward and hugged the nurse, the wrinkles on her face piled up into a smile, and her face was full of happiness.
Although the nurse was a little shy, her face flushed with two touches of redness, but the nurse seemed to be very happy to be held like this, and the coquettish expression of a little girl made Zhang Yue, who had been watching from behind, really taken aback. The two hugged for a while, and Mrs. Xu also found Zhang Yue, who had been standing behind her.
Seeing Mrs. Xu looking at her, Zhang Yue hurriedly lowered her head slightly and smiled politely: "Grandma Xu is good." ”
"Okay, okay, come into the house." Mrs. Xu looked at the two of them meaningfully, and then led the two into the house with a smile. Seeing the room full of paper-cuts, balloons and streamers, the nurse was not amazed, but a little worried. Zhang Yue is still the same, with an indifferent face.
The nurse held Mrs. Xu's hand tightly, and there was some anger between her eyebrows, but she was more worried: "Today is your 80th birthday, how can you do these things?" They won't come to see you? ”
Mrs. Xu patted the nurse's hand and said, "Eh, Yunhan, you are wrong this time, they said last night and will come to see me today." I'm just going to let you get to know each other. Also, tell your grandmother the truth, who is this young man? ”
The nurse tugged at the hem of her skirt, thought about it and smiled: "My cousin, I brought him over today to congratulate you on your birthday." I also prepared a gift for you. As she spoke, the nurse was about to hand the tonic she had just bought on the road to Mrs. Xu, but who knew that Mrs. Xu was staring at the nurse's skirt and was a little fascinated.
Mrs. Xu smiled happily, but a little tear flashed in her glasses because of the smile: "It's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's good-looking." This is a girl's dress! The girl in my family is the same as you, she doesn't like to wear skirts, and now she comes out to work, and she knows that she loves beauty, so she is willing to wear it, I don't know if she will wear it today? ”
"Yes, she's definitely better dressed than I am." The nurse gently wiped away the tears hidden in the wrinkles and smiled.
was laughing and talking, when suddenly the phone rang, Mrs. Xu hurriedly ran to answer the phone, and said as she ran: "Eh, it must be my two dolls, I haven't returned for too long, I'm afraid I've forgotten the road." ”
Mrs. Xu picked up the microphone excitedly and said a little awkwardly: "Eh, hey......"
"Ah...... Is it? This... Well, but I've been... That...... Okay, you guys are busy, busy. ”
The nurse's face changed slightly: "Grandma Xu......"
They said...... Something temporary, not coming......"
