Chapter 185: Grant the Request
Lin Cheng reached out and took the lunch box, feeling that the lunch box with the pumpkin pie was still hot. He asked Zhou Mo suspiciously:
"Aunt Zhou isn't coming to dinner?"
In the afternoon, he also went to tell Uncle Zhou in person that they would come to the house for dinner in the evening. Uncle Zhou nodded in agreement.
But why didn't you come?
Zhou Mo glanced at Yu Jingyao awkwardly and said, "Uncle Mu came back from a business trip and said that he would go to my house to pick up Yu Xinjie today." So, my parents had to stay at home with Uncle Mu. ”
Lin Cheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Yu Jingyao sat in the living room, but she heard what Zhou Mo said clearly. When she was eating, she asked Lin Cheng softly:
"My uncle took Yu Xinjie away?"
She had heard Lin Cheng say before that they had to go out in a few days, and they might not be able to come back in three or two days. Therefore, she thought that it was also a good thing for her cousin to go to Zhou's house to pick up Yu Xinjie.
After all, Zhou Xuankun and Zhang knew that they could take Yu Xinjie in, all for the sake of her grandfather Yu Qijing. In his early years, Yu Qijing selflessly helped Zhou Xuankun.
She thought, no matter what the reason, Yu Xinjie would not be able to disturb Zhou Xuankun for too long.
And she also heard Lin Cheng say that in the past few days that Yu Xinjie lived in Zhou's house, Zhou Mo went to He Xincheng's dormitory I to spend the night. He didn't allow Yu Xinjie to live in his room, so his parents had to give up the bedroom for Yu Xinjie to live in.
His room was temporarily occupied by his parents.
His mother, Zhang Zhizhi, told him this afternoon: "Yu Xinjie has an injured ankle, even if it is twisted and swollen, but it is still injured."
We'll let her rest here for a week, and when she's recovered, she'll go back. ”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "I don't believe that she will be willing to leave." ”
As a result, as he expected, Mu Siyuan personally went to Zhou's house to pick up Yu Xinjie, but failed to pick Yu Xinjie away.
He sat in the living room of Lin Cheng's house, and sat on a back chair with He Xincheng. He looked at Lin Cheng and his wife sitting on the sofa opposite, as well as Lin Xun, and said:
"Uncle Mu couldn't pick up Yu Xinjie, so my mother had to say, forget it."
"Forget it?"
Yu Jingyao asked a little puzzled: "She doesn't come to me, and she doesn't go to her cousin's place." Where is she going? ”
"Her grandfather persuaded her on the phone to let her go back, but she just didn't want to go back." Zhou Mo wanted to say that today's Yu Xinjie is a bit like Yu Jingyao in the past.
Because before that, he had seen Lin Cheng on the phone with Yu Jingyao. Because he heard Yu Jingyao on the phone, he wronged him indiscriminately, and angrily smashed the table with his fist.
Yu Jingyao heard the sound of "bang, bang" on the phone, so she excitedly said to Lin Cheng:
"You fight. If you have the ability, don't hit the table, you come and fight with me?! ”
Today, Yu Xinjie didn't listen to Mu Siyuan's persuasion, insisted on her point of view, and said that she didn't want to go back. As a result, Yu Qigong called Zhou's house. Yu Xinjie answered the phone and said:
"Grandpa, I can't just go back, it's too shameless.
Jingyao's sister came to Jincheng, although she looked for a job, but she was also laid off. After she was laid off, she could live in Jincheng.
My cousin Zining is in Jincheng, even if she doesn't go to work. But in order to improve herself and find a better job, she went to the imperial capital to tutor.
Prepare her for graduate school ......"
Yu Qigong let out a long sigh on the phone and said:
"Xinjie, after all, your aunt has been gone for many years, and your uncle lives alone. He's in the army, so he doesn't have time to take care of you. ”
"It's okay, I'm at Aunt Zhou's house, and I don't need my uncle to take care of me."
Yu Xinjie said.
"No matter how virtuous your Aunt Zhou is, you can't always be in the Zhou family and disturb her. Child, if you really don't want to come back, you can go to live at your sister's house.
She is from our Lao Yu family, you are her cousin, she can't ignore you. ”
Yu Qigong persuaded Yu Xinjie on the phone, and said softly:
"When your feet are better, go buy some fruit, or canned food, and send them to your Aunt Zhou. If you really don't know what to buy, ask your uncle to borrow 300 yuan and take it.
This person owes a lot of favor, and it's not easy to pay it back.
Zhou Xuankun doesn't come back to Yishi every year, we rarely see him, how can we thank him? ”
Yu Xinjie glanced at Mu Siyuan, who was sitting in the living room of the Zhou family. I saw Mu Siyuan nodding slightly, and she said to Yu Qigong on the other end of the phone:
"Hmm."
After Yu Xinjie ended the call, she said to Mu Siyuan: "Uncle, my grandfather said to let you borrow money......
Mu Siyuan took out his wallet, counted six bills, and gave them to Yu Xinjie.
"I'll give it back to you, uncle."
"What money do I want you to pay back, this kid?" Mu Siyuan waved his hand and said:
"In the future, don't say anything and don't pay it back."
When Mu Siyuan said this, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes. said: "You have come to me, and you have indeed suffered some setbacks.
But where can people live in this world so smoothly?
We just need to sum up our experience and learn from our failures. It would be nice to try not to make similar mistakes again in later life. ”
Yu Xinjie is a member of the Yu family after all, and he can't talk about it seriously. If you say something serious, you will offend people.
What's more, after seeing Mu Zining now, he also felt deep self-blame in his heart.
Mu Zining is now vain and lying, and she is also competitive, even her own relative Yu Jingyao will not let go. After going to the imperial capital, he had an awkward quarrel with Mu Qinli at his eldest brother's house.
After he returned from a business trip, he heard his eldest brother say on the phone:
"Qinli and Zining are both children of our Mu family, and they were both raised by my wife. You say, you have seen it yourself, how big is the gap between their two cousins? ”
Mu Siyuan glanced at Yu Xinjie with complicated eyes, and said:
"You don't want to go to me, and you don't want to go back to Yishi. Then I'll go upstairs first. What's the matter, you call me. ”
"Okay."
Yu Xinjie stared at the screen of the TV and lightly agreed to Mu Siyuan.
At 8:10 in the afternoon, after Yu Jingyao had dinner, she and Lin Cheng went downstairs for a walk. When they got home, they received a call from Mu Siyuan.
"Jingyao, I have something I want to ask you for." Mu Siyuan said in a consultative tone.
"Uncle Cousin has something to say, don't be so polite."
Yu Jingyao said.
"I've heard that you're not going to work for a while. And I just wanted to find someone to send Xinjie back to Yi City......
I wonder if I can ask you to help me with this? ”
Yu Jingyao pondered for a moment before she said, "Uncle Cousin, after I lost my job, I planned to go to my brother's place and work part-time. Since you said that grandpa also wants Sister Xinjie, go back for the New Year earlier.
Want me to send it.
Then I'll wait for her to recover and send her back. ”
She listened to Mu Siyuan's words to this point, so she had no choice but to agree. Kinship is always something to be taken into account.
"Okay, Jingyao, then I'll book you a train ticket for the day after tomorrow. Find a way to book a sleeper for you, and after you sit in Wencheng, I will ask Zining's aunt to pick you up. ”
Mu Siyuan said on the phone.
Yu Jingyao said:
"Okay."
On the third day, Yu Jingyao took Yu Xinjie and rushed to the South Railway Station by car. Yu Xinjie only carried her backpack, and the gift that Mu Siyuan gave to Yu Qigong was carried by Yu Jingyao.
After getting in the car, they each went to find a bed to rest, and no one paid attention to each other.
