Chapter 50: The Lost Old Man

All encounters are predestined, and no matter who you meet, they are never accidental.

- Xia Yuyang

Seeing that the two of them were deadlocked, Xie Xiaonuan and Xu Jingjing's hearts were raised to their throats, and they didn't dare to speak easily, afraid that they would explode instantly if they were touched.

Song Yiyi sighed, said the word "um", grabbed the sunglasses with her left hand trembling, and was about to take them off.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded, interrupting the stalemate at the moment, "Mom, are you awake?" ”

Everyone looked up and saw Cao Rui standing in the stairwell, wearing a pair of big headphones around his neck, looking at this side gently and indifferently.

"Xiao Rui, come here, come here, there are guests at home." Seeing Cao Rui, Aunt Song seemed to have a different face, as if she was licking a calf with deep affection.

Xie Xiaonuan was taken aback, how could Aunt Song's temperament change so much in such a short period of time? She turned her head to look at Xu Jingjing, and Xu Jingjing's eyes were also full of doubts.

Cao Rui walked behind Aunt Song unhurriedly, gently rubbed her shoulders for her, Aunt Song smiled and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

"Mom, Yiyi didn't sleep well yesterday, the dark circles under her eyes are too serious, she is afraid of embarrassing you so she wears sunglasses, besides, my mother is so beautiful, even if she takes off her sunglasses, she can't compare to you."

Cao Rui's fierce praise made Aunt Song smile even more, her eyes glanced at Song Yiyi, and her tone was soft, "Yiyi has been studying hard recently, I will go and tell Sister Zhang to make soup for you." ”

Song Yiyi immediately returned with a smile, "Thank you, Mom." ”

Aunt Song nodded, and was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but she suddenly felt dizzy and crumbling against her temples.

Song Yiyi secretly screamed "not good", hurriedly got up and ran over, but fortunately, Cao Rui was also on the side and helped her in time.

Song Yiyi looked anxious, "Mom, don't be busy, go back to your room and have a good rest." ”

Aunt Song smiled at everyone, "I'm not in good health when I'm old, the two little girls are so fun, you take care of them." The last sentence was said to Song Yiyi.

Song Yiyi responded again and again, and then helped her back to the room with Cao Rui.

Xie Xiaonuan muttered to herself, "Aunt Song's attitude towards the two is completely different, what's the matter......"

"Xiao Nuan ......" Xu Jingjing hesitated, "Did you say there were any sequelae?" ”

Xie Xiaonuan just wanted to answer, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the two of them appearing on the stairs, and whispered to Xu Jingjing, "They came out", and hurriedly sat upright.

Song Yiyi looked apologetic, and walked a few steps quickly to the two of them, "I'm really sorry, my mother is still not in a good state today, so I let you laugh." ”

Xie Xiaonuan waved his hand, "If you are there, you should still take care of Auntie first, or we will come over next time, and I won't bother you today." ”

Song Yiyi was obviously stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Xu Jingjing, "This ......"

Xie Xiaonuan hurriedly pulled Xu Jingjing up and winked at her, "Jingjing, your idol seems to have a new book today, right?" ”

Xu Jingjing immediately understood, and slapped her head suddenly, "Yes, you don't say that I forgot, we have to go first, Yiyi, let's make an appointment another day, okay?" ”

Song Yiyi glanced at Cao Rui, who was standing next to her, and smiled awkwardly at them, "That's ...... That's all I can do, I'm going to send you off. ”

"No, no, no!" The two said goodbye in unison and walked to the door.

"Whew-" In addition to the back of the door, Xie Xiaonuan took a deep breath, the atmosphere just now was too depressing, but the air outside was fresh and pleasant, which could make people completely relaxed.

Xu Jing asked puzzledly, "Xiao Nuan, why did we leave suddenly?" ”

Xie Xiaonuan's expression was full of helplessness, "Their family has become a mess, let's not make trouble for others anymore." ”

Xu Jingjing couldn't help but feel sad, "Yes, I don't know what happened to Aunt Song, it's good for a while and bad for a while......"

Xie Xiaonuan thought for a while, "Let's not speculate, let's think about what to do next." ”

Xu Jingjing said, "Do you want to go to the bookstore?" Just scavenged my idols. ”

Xie Xiaonuan nodded, he didn't have any plans, it seemed that he could only do this, and suddenly remembered that his parents had not contacted him so far, so he picked up his mobile phone and dialed out.

"Toot-to-toe-" It took two sounds before it was picked up.

"Hey, Xiao Nuan girl." It's Mom's brisk voice.

"Mom, where have you been?" Xie Xiaonuan couldn't help but pout.

"I ......" Mom stopped talking, as if whispering something.

After listening carefully and there was no movement, she was about to hang up and redial when her father's voice sounded, "Xiao Nuan, it was Dad who forgot to bring the documents on a temporary business trip, so I asked your mother to send them to me." ”

Xie Xiaonuan said "hmm" and did not respond.

Dad paused and continued, "Don't worry, your mother will be back tomorrow, and I will stay for a few more days." ”

At this moment, Xie Xiaonuan's mood returned to clarity, and he responded obediently, "Okay Dad, you should also pay attention to rest, I will take care of myself." ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, tilted his head and leaned on Xu Jingjing's shoulder, "Jingjing, I miss my parents so much......"

Xu Jingjing's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she instantly returned to normal, and joked casually, "Xie Xiaonuan, you are enough, I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a long time, but my parents are not at home all year round." ”

Xie Xiaonuan was taken aback, thinking that Xu Jingjing's parents were not on good terms, didn't he sprinkle salt on her wounds, looked up at her in a panic, and didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Jingjing noticed Xie Xiaonuan's silence, turned her head to meet her gaze, and said word by word, "I'm fine, Xiaonuan, you don't have to blame yourself for anything." ”

The two of them smiled slightly, pulled their hands tightly together, and they could understand each other with one look, and they could be reconciled with one sentence, which was their deep friendship.

"Huh? Xiao Nuan, look at those two people. Xu Jingjing pointed to the side of the road not far away.

Xie Xiaonuan looked at it, and saw two old people on the side of the road, the vehicles coming and going were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and stopped in place and swayed, she couldn't help but be a little worried, "Let's hurry up and take a look!" ”

They quickly ran to the side of the road, and one of them supported an old man, "Grandpa (grandmother), be careful, the road is dangerous." ”

They looked at each other and smiled, why the two have become more and more tacit recently.

"Good boy, it's you." The old grandmother's kind voice sounded, Xie Xiaonuan felt familiar, and looked carefully, this is not Grandma Liu from the nursing home.

She looked at the old man on the other side, and coincidentally, it was that Grandpa Zhao.

"Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Liu, long time no see, why are you here?" Xu Jingjing was the first to speak, her tone full of worry.

Grandpa Zhao felt guilty, "It's Xiao Lu, he picked us up and went shopping, but when he went to buy drinks, we saw our son and followed him all the way, who knew that we got lost in the end." ”

Xie Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the two of them met them, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable......

"It's okay Grandpa Zhao, relax, we'll take you back to the nursing home." Xie Xiaonuan comforted gently.

Grandma Liu is not reluctant, "Then our son ......"

Xie Xiaonuan continued, "You may have been mistaken, if he comes back, he will definitely go to see you first." After speaking, he helped the two old men to the bench and called Lu Zihao.

"Hey, Lu Zihao, what are you doing?" Xie Xiaonuan asked pretending to be sad.

"Xie Xiaonuan? What happened to you? Lu Zihao's anxious voice came, and he heard an echo, and his voice also rang outside the phone.

Xie Xiaonuan looked around and found that Lu Zihao was standing on the other side of the road behind her.

The corners of her mouth curled, unwilling to tease him anymore, "You can see us when you cross the street." ”

Lu Zihao paused, "Ah...... You guys? I'll go right over. Seeing a few people opposite, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly hung up the phone and ran over to this side.

Lu Zihao stood still in front of them, bent down and panting, feeling relieved, "Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Liu, I can find you." ”

Grandpa Zhao raised his hand and patted Lu Zihao's shoulder, "It's all our fault for walking around, it's really troublesome for you, Xiao Lu." ”

Lu Zihao's face was embarrassed, "Grandpa Zhao, what did you say, I didn't take care of you." ”

"Okay, okay, now that you've met, don't blame each other anymore." Xu Jing said to them quietly and generously.

Xie Xiaonuan was puzzled, "By the way, Lu Zihao, how did you think of taking your grandparents out shopping today?" ”

Lu Zihao touched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, today...... It's Grandma Liu's birthday. ”

Xie Xiaonuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly said to Grandma Liu, "Happy birthday Grandma Liu." ”

Xu Jingjing was smart and clever, and immediately grabbed Grandma Liu's arm, "Happy birthday Grandma Liu, let's find a place to celebrate!" ”

Grandma Liu smiled kindly, "Okay, good, listen to you!" Touching Xu Jingjing's young face, her eyes were shining with tears.

Lu Zihao proposed to take them to the theater to watch the play first, and then go to the restaurant to celebrate their birthday, and everyone nodded in agreement.

The group walked on the road, Xie Xiaonuan's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped, Xu Jingjing walked to her side, "Xiaonuan, why don't you leave?" ”

Xie Xiaonuan's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Jingjing, why don't we go buy a gift for Grandma Liu." ”

Xu Jingjing raised her hands in agreement, rolled her eyes, and shouted to a few people in front of her, "You guys go first, let's go somewhere, and we'll rush over immediately." ”

Lu Zihao responded without thinking, "Okay, we'll wait for you in the theater." He turned around and helped the old man away.

"Xiao Nuan, what do you think we should give?" Xu Jingjing asked as she walked.

Xie Xiaonuan pondered for a moment, "By the way, the gift I made at Sister An Ran last time was very good, maybe Grandma Liu will like it." ”

"Okay, it's just ......" Xu Jingjing frowned slightly, "If you do it yourself, is it too late now?" ”

Xie Xiaonuan glanced at her slyly, "Of course, I believe in our ability. ”

"That's it!" Xu Jingjing smiled happily, her eyes crossed Xie Xiaonuan's shoulder, and when she glanced at a certain place, she suddenly froze, her face full of incredulity.

Xie Xiaonuan turned her head to follow her gaze and was stunned suddenly.

She saw Xia Yuyang's back.

At the door of an inconspicuous flower shop, Xia Yuyang was choosing a bouquet with a girl, the girl's face was smiling, and she looked up at him from time to time, with a few soft lights in her eyes.
