Chapter 75: Negotiate the date of engagement
After about half an hour, we arrived at Situ's house, and as we had done six years ago, it was Steward Mo who came to greet us.
"Uncle Mo is good!" I hurriedly greeted Steward Mo, and motioned for him to call him Grandpa Mo.
"Miss Ye is good, little Miss is good, I heard the master say last night that you came over today, but we were very happy." When Steward Mo saw that I still remembered him, he was already moved to tears, he wiped his tears and nagged, and from time to time praised her for being well-behaved and sensible.
"Uncle Mo, let's go in first, please arrange for someone to bring the gifts in the car into the house!" Situ Yunzhe picked up the girl and walked with me towards the main house.
The closer I got to Situ's mother, the more uneasy I became, and compared to the nervousness I was when I first came to Situ's house six years ago, it was even more difficult to stand under my feet at this moment.
Situ Yunzhe reached out at the right time to squeeze my somewhat cold hand as a sign of comfort, and I understood that he understood the guilt in my heart and the difficulty under my feet.
I smiled at him gratefully and walked forward firmly.
At the entrance, there were two older aunts and a young girl standing there, the young girl I had seen before, her name was Yun'er, one of the two aunts I knew, it was Aunt Mo, the wife of Steward Mo, and the other I looked a little familiar, and she kept smiling at me kindly, I couldn't help but take a closer look, only to find out that she was Aunt Qi who had brought me a girl for three years.
I was not trivial, and I quickly turned my head and looked at Situ Yunzhe suspiciously, but he smiled and comforted me, I understood that he wanted to tell me later.
"You're here." Just after greeting Aunt Mo and Aunt Qi, Situ's father appeared at the entrance, only to see that his temples were gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be much deeper than before, and he was not as energetic as before, I held back the sourness on the tip of my nose and said to Situ's father: "Uncle, I've kept you waiting." ”
"It's good to come, it's good to come!" Situ's father smiled and nodded. I motioned for him to call him grandfather.
"Hello grandpa! My name is Nannan! Nan Nan generously hugged Situ's father's leg and shouted crisply.
Situ's father agreed with a smile, bowed down and looked at Nan Nan for a while, and then asked, "How old is the baby?" "I don't know if it's for me or Situ Yunzhe.
"Dad, I'm three years and eight months old." Situ Yunzhe replied without thinking about it.
Situ's father had complicated eyes and was a little disappointed, and after a while, he waved his hand to Situ Yunzhe and me: "Xiaozhe, take Shen'er to see your mother!" But the emotions should not be too excited, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it. ”
"Got it, Dad, then we're in." Situ Yunzhe led me and Nannan towards Situ's mother's room, and I explained to Nannan as I walked, "Baby, don't talk loudly when you see grandma later, because grandma needs to rest." ”
"Got it! Mommy. Nan nodded obediently.
As soon as I entered Situ's mother's house, I smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance, six years ago, when I came to Situ's house for the first time, Situ's mother also burned sandalwood in the room, so after smelling this sandalwood fragrance again, I had a particularly intimate feeling.
The room is at a constant temperature, Situ's mother is lying peacefully on the bed, her eyes are closed, but her expression is peaceful, it doesn't seem to be like a coma but like she is asleep, but her body buried deep under the sheets, looking much thinner than six years ago, the blue tendons on the exposed hands burst out, I endured the red circles under my eyes, stepped forward to touch her hands, and felt that the hands were like skin and bones, and the tears could no longer be suppressed.
"Shen'er, today is a good day, you are not allowed to cry." Situ Yunzhe stroked my shoulder and comforted me softly.
I remembered Situ's father's instructions, quickly wiped my tears, and motioned for my grandmother to call grandma.
"Grandma, I'm Nannan, I knew I was going to see you in the morning, so I'm very happy, grandma, you have to wake up quickly, and when you wake up, will you play with Nannan?" Seeing the skinny Situ's mother, not only was she not afraid, but she also came up, and held Situ's mother's hand like me, and then said, "Grandma, you see that you are so thin, haven't you eaten well?" This is not good, you have to learn from me, I eat more than Mommy, so my body is much better, but you can rest assured, Mommy said that we will live here in the future, grandma will be taken care of by me and Mommy, if I take care of Mommy, will grandma wake up soon? ”
I forced a smile and watched Nan Nan and Situ's mother chattering non-stop, I really hoped that as Situ Yunzhe said, there would be a miracle that happened to Situ's mother.
"Young Master, Miss Ye, is the master waiting for you in the living room?" At this time, Yun'er came in and called us, and I helped Situ's mother put her hand back in the quilt, and led Nannan and Situ Yunzhe out of Situ's mother's room together.
Aunt Qi was waiting for me at the door, I lowered my head and said to Nannan, "Nannan, this grandma is Grandma Qi that Mommy told you, say hello to Grandma Qi." ”
"Hello Grandma Qi, Mommy often mentions you to me?" Nan Nan obediently called Aunt Qi.
"Then you play with Grandma Qi for a while, and Mommy and Uncle go to discuss things with Grandpa, okay?" I bowed my head and asked.
"Mommy, go ahead!" Nan Nan didn't recognize her life, so she was carried by Aunt Qi to another room.
After Situ Yunzhe saw Nannan leave, he took my hand and walked towards the living room.
"Dad—" Situ's father was making kung fu tea, and before the tea was tasted, he had already smelled the strong aroma of tea, Situ's father motioned for us to sit down opposite him, and put a cup of kung fu tea in front of me and Situ Yunzhe.
"Thank you, uncle!" I said thank you before I dared to sit down.
"A few days ago, Xiao Zhe asked me to look at the day, I asked someone to look at the day, and said that there are two good days recently, one is half a month later, this day is too close, the important thing is that it is also in the middle of the year, it is not suitable for Chinese customs, the other day is on September 6, the lunar calendar is August 26, and there are about two months."
"Shen'er, what do you think?" Situ Yunzhe asked me.
"You can order it, in fact, it doesn't matter after half a month!" I lowered my head and whispered.
"Half a month is a bit rushed, a lot of things can't be prepared, and wedding photos and everything takes time." Situ Yunzhe analyzed it, and finally said: "I think, it's better to be two months later!" ”
"Whatever you want!" As soon as I heard that he would rather wait two months than marry me home earlier, my heart became anxious, in fact, I don't know what to hurry, except for the certificate we have, in fact, there is no difference from marriage.
When Situ's father saw that the date was set, he called Steward Mo and Aunt Mo over, and carefully explained how Situ's mother prepared for our marriage six years ago, and now she still prepares us in the same way as before, all of which are indispensable.
