Chapter Seventy-Five: Cherish the People in Front of You
After eating dinner lively, Tang Xiangling and Xiao Zhe sat on the side and chatted with their grandmother. Qiao Chuanze said that he would take Xu Lulin out to see the stars, and the two children ran out after saying two words to their parents. Xiao Zhe's mother and Xiao Xue dragged Xu's mother to ask her to play mahjong, because there was still a lack of someone, Qiao Xingyue was dragged by his wife to the mahjong table to be ready to standby.
"The stars seem to be good tonight, let's go for a walk outside."
Grandma took the initiative to propose to everyone.
Originally, my grandmother was so old, and she would not be allowed to go out so casually. It's just that Tang Xiangling looked at her grandmother as if she had something to say to her, and turned her head to Xiao Zhe and Tang Shun next to her and said, "Grandma and I have something to say, what do you two like." ”
Xiao Zhe looked at his grandmother, and when he saw her nodding slightly, he had no choice but to respond: "Got it, Tang Shun and I went out for a walk." ”
As long as Tang Shun wasn't Xiao Zhe and Tang Xiangling alone, they didn't care. The two of them had something to whisper, and it was inconvenient for him to disturb them. So he followed Xiao Zhe in the direction of a tavern in the village.
Tang Xiangling helped her grandmother sit on a swing chair in the courtyard that looked a little old, blowing a cool breeze, and looking up at the stars.
"This chair was made for me by Xiao Zhe's grandfather a long time ago." Grandma suddenly said, "At that time, I took Xiao Zhe and Xiao Xue, two sisters, to school in the county seat, and he was farming alone. He made me this swing while I wasn't there, thinking that when I came back, I would have a place to take a nap in the sun. ”
Grandma's eyes seemed to see her grandfather again. I saw him carrying a hoe on his shoulder, and he stood at the door with Xiao Zhe's mother in his arms and shouted that he remembered to come back for dinner at noon today.
Only now I can't see him again.
"You said, so many years have passed since this day, and the day the old man left, he still felt that time was so short."
Grandma sat on the swing and talked slowly, and Tang Xiangling sat next to her and listened quietly.
"You say, it's not easy to find someone you like to live a dull life." Grandma turned her head and gently held Tang Xiangling's hand, "You and Tang Shun are both good children, obviously you have met me a few times, and you can come to see me on my birthday today." ”
"Yes, grandma, we like you very much." Tang Xiangling answered.
Grandma smiled slightly: "Our Xiao Zhe is a child who doesn't like to talk much since he was a child, and he didn't like to talk when he was in elementary school, and because he didn't have good grades, he never had any friends." When I was in junior high school, I thought he would be like this again, but I didn't expect that there would be children who would want to be friends with him. The day you two came to our house, it was also the first time Xiao Zhe brought his friends home. ”
"I can see that you and Tang Shun are really good to Xiao Zhe, and treat Xiao Zhe as friends, and I also know that because you are so good to Xiao Zhe, our family Xiao Zhe liked you a little at that time."
Hearing this, Tang Xiangling was shocked.
This grandmother is worthy of being a former people's teacher, Xiao Zhe's little ninety-nine, she actually saw it so early.
"But at that time, I had said these things to Xiao Zhe." Grandma continued: "I told him not to think about these things, after all, you are still students, and the main task is to study, you say, right?" ”
"Well, grandma is right."
Although Tang Xiangling said this, he was very weak in his heart.
After all, Tang Xiangling at that time was full of thoughts about how to make Tang Shun like him.
"Of course, that's just one of the reasons." Grandma's words were not finished, and she continued to speak, "I saw at that time that you and Tang Shun, the two children, like each other. Although I know that Xiao Zhe, the child, likes you, I have always encouraged the child to strive for happiness by himself. However, I will never let him do anything that will hurt me. ”
Tang Xiangling never thought that her grandmother would say such a thing.
What did she say? She said that she and Tang Shun like each other?
"Grandma, how do you see that...... Tang Shun likes me? ”
"That's a lot." Although my grandmother is old, her memory seems to be good, and she still remembers it vividly, "I still remember one day when you came to our house to eat together, it was the cool weather, and we opened the door during the meal, and the position where you sat was the tuyere, so he stood up and changed positions with you." ”
"And when you go home, you two stand on the road and say goodbye to us, and there is a dog on the road, and he quietly puts you in the position inside, isolating you from the dog."
"And ......"
Grandma babbled a lot, all of which were things that Tang Xiangling had never noticed.
She only remembered the embarrassment and insecurity, pain and torture he brought to her, but completely ignored the warm memories he brought to her in those years.
He used to always say that he never noticed what he gave to him, and he never responded to himself.
Now it seems that when she asked for this relationship to be reciprocated, this relationship did not have the simple and pure feeling it had at the beginning.
He said that he didn't respond to himself, when did he react to his dedication?
Tang Xiangling recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and those things that he didn't want to recall in his memory in the past suddenly appeared in front of him from another angle.
"It's not easy for two people who like each other to get together, you're still young, it's normal not to understand this." Grandma's tone was very serious, "It's just that after understanding this, you have to cherish the people in front of you." ”
Grandma gently patted Tang Xiangling's head.
To be honest, she originally thought that if Tang Xiangling really broke up with Tang Shun, then maybe her grandson would have the opportunity to be with this girl.
But when she saw the interaction between Tang Shun and Tang Xiangling at the dinner table today, she knew that the conflict between the two of them was only temporary.
People who can't be together are useless to force it; And the people who should be together, no matter what they go through, will be together after all.
"I understand Grandma." Tang Xiangling nodded lightly and said, "I'll think it through." ”
"Hmm." Grandma nodded slightly.
The wind in the small village is always exceptionally cool at night, Tang Xiangling put on the coat on her grandmother, and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
She really needs to think things through.
