Chapter 149: The New Year is Approaching
Due to the remnants of snow along the way, the drive was slow, and by the time we arrived in Zhanyang, it was already two hours later.
When we arrived in front of the village, we saw Chen's father and Chen's mother waiting in front of the village from a distance.
Chen Chen parked the car outside Chen's courtyard, I quickly took out the wheelchair from the back of the car, and saw that Duan Ruochen got out of the car more laboriously, he insisted on his burly body, regardless of Duan Ruochen's opposition, and struggled to 'move' him horizontally to the wheelchair.
This action can't help but remind me of the professional male nurse in the hospital, his action of hugging Duan Ruochen horizontally can be described as done in one go, Sihao is effortless, how can it be like Chen Chen's mud and water.
Duan Ruochen's expression was even more crying and laughing, it is estimated that the most important thing for him at this time is not embarrassment, but that he is afraid that Chen Chen will accidentally throw him out.
Looking at such a festive picture, I quickly took out my mobile phone to take a snapshot and quietly sent it to Lin Xuan.
After a while, Lin Xuan sent me a message back: May you have a happy New Year, wait for me to come back! With another laughing and crying emoji.
After a period of greetings, Duan Ruochen was already sitting in the living room of the Chen family, the brazier had already risen at both ends of the coffee table, the room was very warm, Chen's mother and I were busy preparing to eat to entertain Duan Ruochen, and while paying attention to him, I saw that his demeanor was calm, Sihao was not restrained, and the willful and anxious in the hospital was diametrically opposed, I couldn't help but despise him, stinky boy, quite good at pretending.
Although I despise it in my heart, my heart that has been hanging has also been relaxed a little.
It is estimated that Chen Chen has specially confessed to the two elders, so they all tacitly talk about some topics related to Duan Ruochen himself, and as for relatives and family affairs outside the Duan family, they are silent, so the atmosphere has been extremely harmonious.
At this time, Chen's mother was going to the kitchen to heat the dishes, I originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Chen's mother was afraid that I would be cold, so she refused to let me go, and drove me back to the living room.
After lunch, Chen Chen and I pushed Duan Ruochen to play outside the village. Before going out, I took a big cotton jacket that I didn't wear in the old days, and wanted to wrap Duan Ruochen's legs, but Duan Ruochen refused to wrap it at first, and was willing to give in under my angry gaze.
As soon as I went out, I found that the cold was pressing, and I couldn't help sneezing twice, Chen's mother quickly took a big padded jacket she wore from the house for me to wear, I disliked the big padded jacket was too fancy and refused to wear it, Chen's mother also learned what I had just dealt with Duan Ruochen, rolled her eyes, forcibly put me outside, and wrapped me tightly from beginning to end, before returning to the house with confidence.
I wanted to cry without tears, Chen Chen's mouth was not blocked at this time, and he took the opportunity to joke that I had become a 'little mother', of course I didn't follow, and I fought with him into a mess, only to see snow flakes flying in the air.
The road outside the village is not wide, only one car can pass, usually when encountering oncoming traffic, the wrong car seems very difficult, fortunately in the snow day can not see the car at all, so the three of us have been unscrupulous on the village road.
Chen Chen and I were crazy and noisy in front of us, while Duan Ruochen was sitting in a wheelchair watching and laughing happily.
After making a fuss for a while, it quieted down, Chen Chen pushed Duan Ruochen, and the three of them watched and walked around all the way.
In the countryside this season, there is actually nothing fun, if you change to spring and summer, you can still see willows flying everywhere, wildflowers raging, autumn can also see the fruitful fruits in the fields, but at this moment, what catches your eye is a white expanse and full of desolation.
Because the weather was really cold, after staying for a while, he returned home, Chen's father went to the jewelry store at this time, Chen Chen accompanied Duan Ruochen to play chess, and then saw that I was really bored next to me, and I was forced to fight the landlord.
In the winter in the countryside, the night seems to come earlier, before five o'clock, the sky is already dark, Chen's father did not go home for dinner, saying that the jewelry store is too busy these days, he can't get out for a while, so dinner is only for the four of us.
After eating, I started to wash, in order to take care of Duan Ruochen, I did not live in my room on the second floor, but lived next to Duan Ruochen's residence.
When helping Duan Ruochen to freshen up, he could see that he was in a good mood, and he listened quietly to whatever I said.
"Why are you so well-behaved today?" I handed him the wet hot towel and asked him curiously.
"I was very happy to see the environment in which you grew up as a child, and you seem to be in a good mood." Duan Ruochen took the towel and said with a smile while wiping his face and hands.
"Of course, here are my memories of more than 20 years, and I don't know how happy I am when I think I don't have to go to Luzhou again in the future."
"Then stay at home for a few more days! It's never too late to go out and look for work when you've had enough. Duan Ruochen returned the towel to me.
"Hmmm! That's what I thought, too. I said to Duan Ruochen apologetically: "Then who will take care of you in the future?" ”
"I'm going to start rehabilitation soon after the New Year, so I have to go back to the hospital on the third day of the Lunar New Year, you don't have to worry, Sister-in-law Gui will come to the hospital to take care of me at that time, and the special care and nursing staff will always be there." Sister-in-law Gui is the aunt who used to deliver food to the hospital every day.
"That's good, but when I get behind in my work, I'll take the time to visit you."
"Let's talk about it then! When you go to rehab, you must be bored. ”
"By the way, do you want to go to the Zhenxin Restaurant tomorrow, I can accompany you." I asked again.
"I'll leave it all to the store manager to arrange it himself." Duan Ruochen looked at his legs and smiled bitterly, "I'm like this, don't go." ”
"Okay, then you have a good rest, if something calls me, I'll be in the room next to you." After I helped Duan Ruochen go back to the bed and lie down, I prepared a warm baby for him and put it in the bed, his legs were recovering, and he must not freeze.
After coming out of Duan Ruochen's room, Chen's mother beckoned to me in the living room, and I sat beside her obediently, sending my hands into her warm hands to keep warm, "Auntie, you've been working hard these days." ”
"What's not hard, there are many people in the family, it's more lively, you just have to eat and drink, and I'll come to Zhang Luo for the rest." Chen's mother said with a smile.
"Oh, then I'll enjoy the treatment of a national treasure with peace of mind."
"You don't have to go to Luzhou in the future, you can enjoy the treatment of a national treasure every day." Mother Chen pinched my cheek, "I can't count you during the day, look at you, what kind of days are you living there, you are skinny." ”
"Auntie, don't I think about you every day? Think about the delicious food you made, and think about the pork ribs and lotus root soup you cooked. I coquettishly got into Chen's mother's arms, "After this Spring Festival, I must be back to normal." ”
"Look at your beauty." Mother Chen said and pinched my body and back, I was afraid of itching, so I drilled around in her arms, and kept begging for mercy, and Mother Chen let go, "It's okay on my body, there are still a few taels of meat left." ”
"Auntie, how can you touch people like this, this is an indecent act."
"Stinky girl, when you and Chen Chen were children, I didn't touch any of them, but when I grew up now, I didn't follow it, okay, I'm too lazy to touch it." Mother Chen smiled and scolded angrily, then pointed to the room where Duan Ruochen lived, and asked me in a low voice, "You said you were going to bring your boyfriend back, it won't be this, right?" ”
"Not really!" I waved my hand again and again, "Although he is also my college classmate, his current identity is just my life-saving benefactor and boss." ”
It seems that Chen Chen didn't say anything to Chen's mother, and he didn't know how much Chen Chen knew about my breakup with Situ Yunzhe.
"It looks like a talent, but it's too thin, as if it can be blown away by the wind, and--" Chen's mother stopped when she wanted to speak.
"Auntie, and what?"
"You didn't like him, did you?" Instead of answering me, Chen's mother asked me such an embarrassing question.
"Of course, I just think that he is alone for the New Year, everything is inconvenient, and it is very pitiful, bring him back, I can also take care of him nearby, and I can also feel less guilty, that's all."
"That's good, I just think that others are not very old, and they look at the city government very deeply." Chen's mother finally relaxed.
"It may have something to do with the environment in which he grew up!" I thought about it and said.
"I heard Chen Chen mention his family a little, alas! The family is not together for the New Year, thinking that such a family must be very complicated, you can listen to me, you must not be tempted by him, otherwise I will be anxious with you. ”
"Got it, my other half, I must pass your level, now I should be satisfied!"
"Of course!" Chen's mother nodded with satisfaction and motioned for me to go back to my room.
Seeing that Chen's father hadn't come home yet, I asked Chen's mother again, "When will my father come back?" ”
"It's the end of the year, and he has to worry about a lot of things, and he only came home so late these days, you don't have to worry about him."
"Let Chen Chen go tomorrow too! He didn't have much to do at home anyway. ”
"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Chen's mother had a whim, "By the way, why don't you let Chen Chen take you to the store tomorrow!" It's warm and lively, and your dad said that there are a lot of new jewelry in the store, if you have a fancy to it, let Chen Chen give you a New Year's gift, and the girlfriend Chen Chen made has never been to the house, you can help me pick one and put it, maybe when she comes home, I will give it to her as a meeting gift, do you say okay? ”
"That's a good idea, let's go tomorrow!" When I mentioned the gift, I remembered that Chinese New Year's Eve was Chen Chen's birthday, "Auntie, what gift should I give him on Chen Chen's birthday?" ”
"Brother and sister remember so much to do, at most I can cook more delicious food and deal with it."
"That's what you said, and if he asks me for a gift, I'll put the blame on you."
Chen's mother nodded again and again, and I went back to the room for the night.
