Chapter Eighty-Eight: Prison Visits
Xu Wan, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, didn't remember that she hadn't eaten dinner until her stomach rumbled.
She opened the door and chuckled, but luckily she didn't lose her heart and lock her door. glanced at Liu Min's master bedroom without a trace of light leaking, and sighed silently.
There are no leftovers in the refrigerator, Liu Min has never advocated eating leftovers, feeling that it affects health, so all the dishes are purchased according to the number of people, and they will be thrown out if they can't finish eating.
Instant noodles, not to mention fast food, it's a spectacle to be able to see it at her house. The only snack was also eaten before the exam, and Xu Wan at the back door has been competing and has not come back, and it is estimated that Liu Min did not buy it for a while.
Xu Wan, who searched for no result, her eyes lit up, and she saw the landline placed in the corner of the table, how could she forget that there was a phone at home, Xu Wan pounced excitedly, and pressed a few numbers to find the cut connection line behind the telephone.
It's really ruthless, if you don't let it be beaten, you won't be allowed to fight, it's good to put it away, why bother using an innocent phone as a tool to vent your anger.
Xu Wan, who hung her head and drooped her head, walked to the refrigerator again, and took out the only remaining stored food: three eggs, ready to fry a poached egg, one boiled and a compress on her cheeks.
Walking out of the kitchen, holding the poached eggs on the plate, Xu Wan comforted herself, it's okay, just eat it.
In the next second, Xu Wan poured the eggs in her mouth and the plate into the trash can with an expressionless face. There is no melted salt, and Xu Wan's scalp is numb when he eats it with a grainy feeling.
I knew that it was all cooked, at least I could eat it after applying it to my face, forget it, let's sleep, I won't be hungry when I fall asleep.
Xu Wan, who was re-involved in the quilt, turned over and over again, and finally fell asleep in a daze, and heard a strange sound when she was half-asleep and half-awake, she waved her hand, thinking it was a mosquito, and after three seconds, the voice sounded again, and she realized that in this winter, where did the mosquito come from.
Finding that the sound was coming from outside the window, Xu Wan pushed open the window and looked out.
I saw a figure on the branch of a three-story building.
"Geng Yi'an! Are you crazy? You beware of falling. ”
Xu Wan saw his gaze sweeping towards her, and hurriedly turned his face sideways, so that he would not find that he had slightly swollen cheeks.
Geng Yi'an, who put down the whistle in his hand, had already noticed the open window on the fifth floor. He knew which floor Xu Wan's house was, but he couldn't tell which room Xu Wan was, so he came up with this solution.
He patted the stocky trunk under his feet, pulled his lips and said, "It's okay, it's quite sturdy." ”
He has loved to climb trees since he was a child, and he has climbed all the taller trees, but this is the first time he has climbed a tree since he was older.
"Why didn't you text me?"
Xu Wan was still a little far away from him, it was dark, and she couldn't see his expression clearly for a while.
It's just that this tone is a posture of asking the teacher to ask for guilt.
Xu Wan mourned her head and replied: "My mother confiscated my mobile phone and didn't allow me to go out." ”
The man standing on the tree was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to your mother." ”
Xu Wan was anxious, she was really afraid that he would go, "Don't, I'll be looking for a chance to talk to my mother, she is angry now, and you will only annoy her even more, and the situation will be more troublesome." ”
Xu Wan soothed: "Don't worry, it's the New Year in a few days, my mother won't really lock me at home all the time, I'll find a way to go out to find you when the time comes, and we'll discuss it again." ”
Geng Yi'an nodded, and agreed.
The silence of this space, so good that she will not die, Xu Wan's stomach rang again, louder than before, and now it is the middle of the night, except for the sound of the TV about the shadow downstairs, it is the loudest for her.
Xu Wan covered her face, thinking that this was all wrong. The face was all lost.
Geng Yi'an didn't think it was funny, he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?" ”
Xu Wan was afraid that he would be worried, so she lied: "I ate, but I quarreled with my mother and ate a little less, so I was hungry again." ”
"Where are you going?"
Xu Wan saw that he slid down without saying a word, and Xu Wan was frightened at that height, for fear that he would fall down accidentally.
Fortunately, seeing that his posture is very skillful, not like a novice, it is estimated that he is not less afraid of the big tree in front of the girl's house, Xu Wan speculated maliciously.
She went back to the house, collapsed on the bed and waited for a while, and it was not long before the strange whistle sounded again.
She ran to the window again, Geng Yi'an saw her come out, tied the snacks she bought from the supermarket in her hand, and threw it hard at Xu Wan, hitting the red heart, Xu Wan caught it.
At this time, Xu Wan didn't forget to joke, "Baby Yi'an, do you think we don't look like Romeo and Juliet?" ”
Geng Yi'an raised his head, his eyes that were still shining in the darkness looked at him, his lips moved lightly, and said, "No." ”
Xu Wan "cut" and secretly said that he was not emotional.
"It's like a prison visit."
Xu Wan looked at the snacks in her arms, and then looked at the place where the two of them were, remembering the last time she said that if Geng Yi'an went to prison, she would go to bring him food.
It's really a word, Xu Wan wants to pump her two big mouths.
Thinking about it, Xu Wan was stupidly happy alone.
……
Xu Wan stayed at home all day, except for reading, she was lying on her clothes in a daze, and Liu Min would come back to cook and feed her at noon and night.
Her home is not far from Liu Min's hospital, and she doesn't have to be in the hospital all the time, but she has to take 1 or 2 hours to come back at noon every day to cook a meal for her alone, and Xu Wan feels troublesome when she looks at her.
Xu Wan is also very backbone, in order to protest against Liu Min's tyranny, she didn't say a word, refused to communicate, and waited for Liu Min to go out, and then went out of the room to eat.
This day has passed for a few days, and finally ushered in the long-awaited New Year for Xu Wan.
Liu Min knocked on it, didn't wait for a response, and then pushed open the door and said to Xu Wan, who was still lying on the bed: "Get up and change your clothes, and go to the old house for the New Year today." ”
Xu Wan didn't understand the meaning of this kind of knocking, she covered her head with a quilt and protested: "If you don't go, I'll stay at home and never go anywhere." ”
Liu Mincai doesn't care if she has a temper or not, and the way to rectify her, Liu Min pinched it accurately.
She opened Xu Wan's closet, picked out a new dress she had bought for Xu Wan not long ago, threw it on the bed, and said coldly: "You plan not to go to school for the rest of your life, so don't go." ”
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xu Wan was pretentious in the quilt for a while, but she helplessly got up and changed into new clothes.
The rules and regulations, the color is red and festive, which is the style that the elderly love. Xu Wan dressed, looked at herself who came out of the Ruonian painting doll in the mirror, lowered her eyes, and sighed.
During the New Year, the streets are also very lively, jubilant, and there are many people who buy New Year's goods. There are many people in the morning, and in the afternoon, everyone generally stays at home, eats Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and watches the Spring Festival Gala.
The old house is very lively, the Xu family, the relatives are far away, the Xu evening is familiar, and the eyes are basically gathered together, the old man of the Xu family loves to be lively, and those people also take advantage of this to make a lot of sycophants.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Xu family's originally very spacious villa instantly became crowded, like an assembly.
Xu Wan's routine, raised a well-behaved smile, and greeted him one by one, at this time, if Xu Wan dared to take Qiao to Liu Min to lose face, then there would be no good life in the future.
Liu Min looked at Xu Wan's performance, and was quite satisfied, and his face looked a little better.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, the old man was not happy to see the mess. The people who love to show her face on weekdays have also restrained a little, and they casually coped with a few sentences, and took out a red envelope to Xu Wan.
Xu Wan's eyes lit up, her smile became sweeter and sweeter, and the blessings in her mouth seemed to be like she didn't want money, and she didn't repeat a sentence for one person.
The old man and the old lady of the Xu family, the two came down from the upstairs one after the other.
A large group of people hurriedly stepped forward to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Wan stayed behind, waiting for the crowd to disperse a little, before stepping forward to say New Year's greetings.
"I wish my grandparents good health and harmonious feelings."
The old man was very happy, his eyes were small, and the old lady looked at her with some disdain.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the old lady was generous, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior, and she handed Xu Wan a red envelope with a loving face.
But Xu Wan could feel the undisguised rejection in her eyes.
seems to be blatantly ridiculing, you, a child who is not the Xu family, how can you be worthy of calling them grandparents, how can you be worthy of staying in this place that does not belong to you, and spending this year with them?
Xu Wan just didn't see anything, accepted the red envelope, which was quite thick, and the corners of her mouth were about to reach the back of her head.
With this money, she can sneak around and take the opportunity to run out and buy a mobile phone.
The big guy always has to be the last to appear, and the chef at home prepares the meal, and just about to serve it, Xu Yuyu hurried over.
As soon as he entered the door, he gave his grandparents a bear hug, very apologetic, but he didn't say sincerely: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm really sorry, the team only gave me leave yesterday, I was late for the plane, and I just got off the plane." I'm late, don't blame me. ”
These words, as long as they can believe it, Xu Wan looked at him empty-handed, and probably didn't know which bureau he had just rushed back from.
The old lady of the Xu family was very distressed and talked to him for a while, touched his face, and said that he was thin again, thin again. Then he took out a big red envelope from his arms and handed it to him.
Xu Wan looked at the thickness of the red envelope with red eyes, and then looked at her own shriveled red envelope, Xu Yuyu received at least five times the red envelope of Xu Wan.
Xu Wan smacked her lips and sighed secretly, she didn't come, after all, this is her own grandson, how can she be compared to her cheap granddaughter.
Sensing Xu Wan's hot eyes, Xu Yuyu took the time to look at him, raised his eyebrows at her, and his eyes were full of pride, and Xu Wan, who was watching, wanted to slap him twice with the biggest fish on the table.
Anyway, if you don't eat it every year, you can't waste it.
"Where's the red envelope?" Liu Min pulled out and walked over to her.
“??” Xu Wan was puzzled, why did Liu Min ask her about this, in previous years, she never asked Xu Wan about the red envelope.
"Mom will keep it for you, there are a lot of people, be careful."
...... "Mom, such a clumsy excuse is a bad excuse for what you said."
Xu Wan didn't know if her smile was too bright when she received the red envelope, which caused Liu Min to see the little Jiujiu in her heart.
Anyway, Xu Wan knew that this money could not be kept.
