Chapter 119: A Blind Eye
"You two have been in the room for so long, it's time to take Xiaohong home to see, I don't have any disagreement with your aunt. You have just been transferred to the top, it is not easy to work outside alone, and your parents are also very worried, when you are fine, you two go back a few more times to see them, and they can rest assured. After Sun Guodong finished speaking, he raised his chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth slowly, and chewed it carefully.
"Your uncle is right, when it's okay, take Xiaohong back to have a look, and they will be relieved. This person, the older he gets, the shorter he is, and he can't wait to keep his children by his side. Sun Xiaohong thought that her mother would not agree, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily. Her nine-song adaptation made Sun Xiaohong secretly surprised.
"Xiaohong is on summer vacation, and I'm not busy, so I just go home and stay a few more days." Ren Haoxuan nodded and said. He wanted to come up with a good reason to let Sun Xiaohong stay with him for a few more days.
"Whoever wants to stay at his house for a few more days is about to take an adult exam, and staying for an extra day will affect the grades. I still have to stay for a few more days, and I didn't wait to go to the exam room, I had to lose the town, and I finally prepared for so long, and when the results came out, I had to give up all my efforts! Sun Xiaohong kept muttering in her heart. She has her thoughts, whether it is hearsay or gossip, Ren Haoxuan's parents are not characters that ordinary people can understand in her eyes, she must think carefully and carefully.
But that's not the main thing. There is a chance to take the adult exam every year, but if you can't take it this year, there will be next year. If you don't pass the exam next year, there will be the year after. As long as she does not exceed the age limit, she can sign up and queue up to enter the exam room every year. The main reason is that she dared to see Ren Haoxuan's parents alone without knowing it, can she not be nervous.
"Okay, let's go!" Having said this, Sun Guodong felt that there was nothing to say, so he stopped the topic. The girl is older, sooner or later, she is someone else's person, and if she talks too much, it's all nonsense, which is boring, so it's better not to say it. After being recognized, Ren Haoxuan was no longer cramped and uneasy, and in this year, he finally chased Sun Xiaohong into his hands with great difficulty. Now it seems that all my efforts are worth it. Therefore, there are no complaints in the heart.
The morning sun, quietly sprinkled down, like a bowl of golden honey, always brings a lot of sweet hope. After breakfast, Ren Haoxuan took Sun Xiaohong's hand and waited for the first bus to enter the city at the head of the village. Because I got up too early, there were no passengers in the carriage. The young female captain saw someone waving to take the car, and when the car stopped, she hurriedly opened the door and greeted them.
The two of them chose a comfortable position and sat down. Sun Xiaohong closed her eyes, leaned her head lightly on Ren Haoxuan's shoulder, and with the shaking of the body, she leisurely entered an illusory world......
After the car entered the city and arrived at the station, the two people walked off the bus arm in arm, and with the endless flow of people, they looked east and west, and finally walked into the downtown area.
"Let's go for a walk around the mall. There is a female colleague in our unit, I think she is wearing a very good dress, I feel that it is quite suitable for you, now is the time for the change of seasons, I want to buy you a set of autumn clothes! When they walked to the entrance of the mall, Ren Haoxuan pointed to the constantly rotating glass door and said.
"I don't want to buy it, I already have a lot of clothes. I usually wear overalls at school, and as many times as I buy them, I press the bottom of the box at home, and they are outdated before I wear them, so I don't want to buy them! Why don't we go in and have a look, and if there's a suitable one, I'll pick one for you! With that, Sun Xiaohong dragged Ren Haoxuan inside.
"I can wear anything, so I don't have to buy it. I think you look good in a suit, so I'd better buy you one! It is a popular style this year, and many people wear it in the streets and alleys of the city. If there is no suitable one in the mall, let's buy fabric and make a set! Ren Haoxuan smiled and pushed.
"There are too many popular good things in the city, and it is too difficult to keep up with the new trend of people in the city at a consumption level that is not even as good as ordinary people. Touching my pocket, it's full of fear. I'm short-sighted, and I don't have much money in my pocket, so this outfit is still free! I still want to save you some money, save yourself an empty bag on your waist, and I don't know the bottom of my heart. Sun Xiaohong made a funny move towards Ren Haoxuan, she pursed her lips and shook her head, not agreeing with Ren Haoxuan's opinion.
"Isn't it just to buy a set of clothes, why are you so entangled! It's not like we can't afford it. As long as you look good, don't say you have money in your fanny pack and can afford it. I just can't afford it, so I have to find a way to make you wear it! Ren Haoxuan said nonchalantly, hearing Sun Xiaohong's heart, it seems that the object she is looking for unremittingly is still quite affectionate and righteous.
The official still doesn't give gifts, since he has said so, if he shirks it like this, it will not be very respectful. In the face of his sincerity, Sun Xiaohong couldn't refuse, so she could only accept it happily.
They walked around the mall upstairs and downstairs a few times, visiting every stall here. I tried it a few times, but I didn't pick out a suitable outfit. But Ren Haoxuan still insisted on leading her to choose everywhere, but later saw that there was really no suitable one, so he took her to a clothing store and tailored a coffee-colored suit. All morning, they wandered around the mall. When she came out of the clothing store, the hungry Sun Xiaohong finally couldn't walk. She clutched her stomach and said weakly, "I'm hungry, and I really can't walk." The soles of my feet may have blistered and it hurts. Let's find a place to rest! When she went out this morning, Sun Xiaohong deliberately wore a pair of high heels. She didn't want to be able to walk so much, but she ended up having a temperament, but her two pairs of toes had no temperament. They all curled up in their shoes, with painful blisters in the cones, denounced the strike to the hostess.
"I'm hungry, it's hard to say. Whatever you want to eat, I'll take you to consume it right away! Brother has a lot of subsidies this month, and you can choose the food on this street! People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Why don't we go to eat first and then look at our feet? Ren Haoxuan put his hand around Sun Xiaohong, he looked at her with concerned eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness. They came to one of the hottest snacks in the downtown area and enjoyed a delicious meal.
"Buy some fruit for grandma! What fruit does she like to eat? I'll buy it! When they came out of the restaurant and passed by a fruit shop on a commercial basis, Sun Xiaohong stopped and suddenly remembered that Ren Haoxuan also had a grandmother at home, although she had never met her, she still had it in her heart. She didn't want to go to Ren Haoxuan's house empty-handed and let his mother pick out the reason. She thought about it, it was better to buy some fruit for her grandmother.
"Okay, listen to you, whatever you buy her, she's happy!" Ren Haoxuan looked at her with a smile.
"I think peaches and apples are good, so let's buy a few of each!" After Sun Xiaohong finished speaking, she picked a big bag and packed it. After she paid at the cash register in front of the store, the two of them hurried to catch the bus.
The sun gradually turned west, and when they entered the courtyard, Ren Haoxuan's mother sat in the courtyard and chopped pig vegetables with a kitchen knife. The dazzling sunlight painted everything in the yard with a dull copper color.
"You can count it back, your dad has gone out to see a few times. I thought you'd be back tomorrow! Let's get in and rest! Ren Haoxuan's mother saw that he brought Sun Xiaohong back, and quickly got up from the low stool, she shook the vegetable leaves on her body, and happily let her go into the house. Seeing that she was carrying fruit in her hand, she hurriedly took it.
Sun Xiaohong followed behind Ren Haoxuan and greeted her with a smile. When she came to the door of the house, she suddenly saw a thin old lady, with her head bowed, holding her hand against the wall, and trembling out of the gloomy room. She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took two steps back and stopped not leaving.
This cold old lady startled her. Sun Xiaohong took a closer look at her face, and this time she finally saw it clearly. This scrawny old man, about eighty years old, with a full head of gray hair, had been stirred up into a mess because he had not been groomed for a long time. Looking at her withered and wrinkled face again, there was no luster anymore. The purple-brown blood stains, like flies biting her, stuck on her unkempt skin, looked very sloppy and cowardly.
She walked forward while snorting, like a retarded person, two dim eyes, hanging low, her shriveled palm with a rough wooden stick, staggering past Sun Xiaohong's eyes, the unpleasant smell emanating from her body was not like a favored ancestor, but like a humble old slave who had not seen the sun for a long time.
Sun Xiaohong couldn't help but take a breath when she saw it. She kept watching the old lady, who could not take care of herself, walk step by step into the courtyard without anyone to help her, and then sat down against the wall facing the sun, and in her sunken eye sockets, two hollow eyes, looked at them timidly, and immediately lowered it timidly. It can be seen that because of the perennial claustrophobia, the old lady in front of her has become unsightly.
Sun Xiaohong didn't know what terrible things were going on, but she didn't dare to associate the old woman in front of her with Ren Haoxuan's grandmother. Old woman, grandma. Grandma, old woman. She frowned, muttering to herself.
Ren Haoxuan's mother saw Sun Xiaohong's surprised expression when she saw her grandmother, she felt that she was very shameless, in order to cover up the panic in her heart. She was probably afraid that the scandal at home would be spread outside, so she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "This is Xiao Hao's grandmother, she has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for ten years. She understood for a while, and was confused for a while. When you understand, you will honestly lie on the kang and do not move. When I'm confused, I walk around inside and outside the house......"
"How can this be? I heard that Ren Haoxuan's father is not quite filial, and now he sees the appearance of her grandmother, and his reputation as a filial son. It's just a name. Hearing her say this, Sun Xiaohong's heart was no longer flustered. She looked at everything in the courtyard with disbelief, and her heart was even more uneasy.
Ren Haoxuan saw Sun Xiaohong's hesitant appearance, he also felt quite embarrassed, and quickly walked into the house to find a set of clean clothes and pants and took them to the yard. He brought another basin of hot water, washed his grandmother's whole body, and then changed into the clothes and pants he had just made. Help her back into the house. Looking at it again, the old lady was much more energetic.
