Chapter 99: Surrender

The hundred-year-old villa is surrounded by a large number of towering trees, and the gray garden walls are covered with creepers planted by the owner and vines with unknown purple flowers, which wrap around the eaves of the iron windows, blocking out the scorching summer sun, making people feel a comfortable coolness as soon as they walk inside.

Compared with the classical and vicissitudes of the old villa, the villa is completely different, it is a more simple and modern decoration style, but the overall color is dark and red, which makes people's eyes uncomfortable for a moment.

Lu Yao walked straight through the living room, bypassing the pantry outside the kitchen, there was a door open straight and straight at the entrance to the back door, outside the door was a patio-like atrium, a small square world, planted with all kinds of flowers by the owner, it looked like a small garden, but if you look closely, you feel a little nondescript.

In a corner surrounded by flowers such as moonflowers, gardenias and calla lilies, on a simple three-tiered wooden shelf, there are large and small gardening potted plants, and the vigorous and powerful potted plants are squeezed into a cramped corner by brilliant and dazzling flowers.

"Grandma?"

Fang Yuan was repairing a few Yueji plants that were blooming a little vigorously, she cut a few flowers on the top and put them in the basket on the side, turned around, and bent the corners of her eyes with a smile when she saw Lu Yao standing at the entrance.

Lu Yao walked to the side of the large pale pink Yueji that was in full swing, bent down and sniffed closer, "It's so fragrant." ”

"Thank you......" Fang Yuan was about to say thank you, but Lu Yao crossed the colorful flowers and stopped next to the wooden shelf that was about to fall apart.

I saw her squatting on the ground, and she skillfully pulled out a round glass jar from the bottom of the potted shelf.

The smile on Fang Yuan's face deepened, and in the glass jar was a pearl turtle raised by her grandfather.

Fang Yuan saw her poke the turtle's back with her finger, and hurriedly stopped it: "Don't recruit it, two days ago, Master Xiao Wang accidentally broke the turtle tank and bought a new one for it, it didn't eat or drink for two days for this, if you let your grandfather know that you provoked it again......"

"My grandfather went to the hospital for this?" Lu Yao is naturally rebellious, the more she doesn't let her do it, the more energetic she can do.

Fang Yuan couldn't say a few more words to her, when his gaze was suddenly intercepted by a figure standing at the door of the small courtyard.

Lu Junfeng had actually been standing at the door for a while, but he hadn't made a sound to disturb him.

"Hello." Fang Yuan smiled at him and nodded.

Lu Junfeng knew that he was rude, and he was embarrassed for a while, and greeted with a red face: "You, hello." ”

"Ah Feng, come here, I'll introduce you to the most amazing beast of the Yin family, known for its 'ferocity and brutality', even my grandfather can't help it!" Lu Yao shook the transparent glass jar in his hand at Lu Junfeng, and the "beast" inside that shrunk and pretended to be dead made a sound of "clanging" in the jar.

Lu Junfeng: "......"

Fang Yuan: "Yaoyao, you put Xiaojie down......"

Fang Yuan is the last batch of daughters in the city who have enjoyed the so-called "old society" who has enjoyed the drunken gold fans of the ten-mile foreign field, and the Western-style etiquette and teaching since she was a child made her no matter whether she is eighteen or sixty-eight years old, she will always have a graceful and elegant bearing in front of people.

Meticulously coiled gray hair, well-fitting light-colored dress, even if you don't go out at home, it is suitable for light makeup, and when you speak, she is not impatient, not delicate or soft, and there is often a faint and warm smile on the corner of her mouth.

It was the first time Lu Junfeng had dealt with such a person, and he felt that Fang Yuan seemed to be an elegant woman who had come out of an old movie pictorial, and her whole body seemed to have a spring breeze, which made her can't help but become concerned about her words and deeds and demeanor.

Although Fang Yuan didn't come when Lu Yao and the others were admitted to the banquet of the F Attached Middle School, it was the first time to see Lu Junfeng, but he showed a kind attitude towards him, personally took him to the guest room where he slept at night, and briefly introduced the history of this old villa to him at lunch.

Lu Junfeng listened to Fang Yuan's introduction in this old villa, feeling the surrounding environment that seemed a little thick and dark because of the historical precipitation, and suddenly felt that a person like Lu Yao was actually incompatible with this place, just like she didn't have those beautiful flowers in her eyes at all, she would rather tease a turtle.

Lu Yao may not be as beautiful as her grandmother when she was young, but Lu Junfeng feels that she doesn't need such a gorgeous and peerless beauty that makes people feel unattainable, she is A Yao who lives in a three-room apartment in S City and is squeezed to sleep in the cold north room.

It's someone he can see just by thinking about her.

Lu Junfeng also began to understand why Uncle Lu had to leave here with their mother and daughter and move to S City, Uncle Lu was born and raised in an ordinary family like himself, and he would have envy, yearning, and respect for a family like the Yin family, but he would never want to live here for the rest of his life, and it was impossible for them to adapt to life here.

Because it is out of place for you, whether it is the feeling of the people around you or your sense of self, it makes you very clear that this is just a place you can look up, but it is definitely not a home where you can live in a solid way.

After eating, Fang Yuan asked the driver to take them to the hospital to visit their grandfather, because during the special care of their grandfather, the hospital had strict regulations on the number of visitors per day, so their grandmother could not accompany them.

When Lu Yao pushed the door into the ward with the basket of moons cut out by his grandmother, his grandfather was lying on his clothes with his eyes closed and earplugs in his ears.

Lu Yao put down the flower, walked to his grandfather lightly, and then reached out and pulled off the earplug in one of his ears.

Grandpa was startled, opened his eyes and saw that it was her, and a flower turned out of his rigid face, and even the corners of his mouth rose into an arc.

"Listen to what?" Lu Yao put the earbuds close to his ears and listened for a while, frowning as he listened, and then threw them away and said, "Can you change the book and listen to it?" When I was three years old, you played it at home with a loudspeaker, and my ears were calloused, and now I'm almost sixteen, and you still listen to this! ”

Grandpa put away the latest MP3 that he bought because he was bored in the hospital and stuffed it into Lu Yao's hand, facing his granddaughter's no big or small, not only did he not reprimand her for not being respectful, but he spoiled him: "Grandpa is just bored to listen to the voice of an old man to relieve his boredom, I don't know how to use this thing, and I can only plug my ears so that my head hurts, listen to your grandmother say that it's good to use it to learn English?" ”

Lu Yao wouldn't be polite to her grandfather, so she quickly put away the MP3.

The grandfather was about to sit up, but Lu Junfeng, who had been standing quietly on the side, suddenly stepped forward and reached out to mix it, and then neatly took a pillow and put it on Lu Yao's grandfather's back.

"You are the child that Lu Yun brought home?" Grandpa is not grandma, and the past eventful years have sharpened his straightforwardness to everyone.

Lu Junfeng stood beside his grandfather's bed, his eyes did not hide from him, "Yes, I am Lu Junfeng." ”

Grandpa nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just looked at him from head to toe, "Yaoyao? ”

Lu Yao was studying the new treasure he got from his grandfather, and when he heard this, he replied casually: "Report to the chief, here!" ”

Her naughtiness made the faces of the originally serious grandfather and the cramped Lu Junfeng invariably smile.

Grandpa: "Yaoyao, you help my grandfather go to the duty room to ask when I can go for a check-up, just now the doctor said to let me take a blood test two hours after dinner." ”

"Oh."

After Lu Yao left, his grandfather cleared his throat, and Lu Junfeng hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Grandpa waved his hand and sat up straight before speaking: "I asked Yaoyao and her father to let you come together." ”

At the suggestion of his grandfather, Lu Junfeng dragged a chair next to him and sat down.

Unlike the fearlessness when he looked back at his grandfather just now, he was inexplicably panicked when he faced this old man who was far kinder than he imagined.

He knew that in his grandfather's time, the so-called "Huairou policy" was sometimes used to invade the enemy's interior, without nibbling and decomposing one soldier at a time, and finally breaking down the enemy's defense line.

"Don't be nervous," Grandpa looked at his back and realized that his expression might be too serious now, so he tried to squeeze out a little bit of the pitiful kindness and kindness of the now-school-sold, "Don't worry, I won't force you to leave." ”

Hearing this, Lu Junfeng suddenly raised his head and stared at his grandfather's eyes, as if he wanted to see a little hint of teasing others from these sharp eyes, but he found that this old man's eyes were very clear, and his eyes looking at you were sincere.

In fact, my grandfather is indeed quite sincere, and the words he is going to say to the child in front of him now and in the future are all from the bottom of his heart.

"What did Lu Yun tell you when he picked you up from Pingtan?"

Uncle Lu said...... said...... "Lu Junfeng unconsciously became regular in front of this old man who was not angry and arrogant, he put his hands on his knees, and his grandfather's question made his fingers curl unconsciously.

"Did he say that when you and Yaoyao are eighteen years old, he will let you get engaged?"

Lu Junfeng lowered his head and was silent, on the surface it looked quite calm, but in fact, in his heart, which was invisible to others, he had already turned over the river and the sea, and his heart was unsettled!

Seeing that he didn't speak and didn't have any expression, Grandpa asked tentatively, "You...... Don't want to? ”

"Not really!" He raised his head and subconsciously denied it, his hands tightly grasped the pants at his knees, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he wanted to burst out of his heart with something in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, it suddenly dispersed, and finally just muttered, "Yes...... It's that I don't deserve it. ”

Grandpa never thought that Lu Junfeng said this, although he looked down on him too much for himself, but at the same time, he also understood that children who grew up in that kind of family, no matter what happened later, always had more humility and unconfidence in their hearts than others, and would regard all the "good" beyond what they could admit as an unrealistic dream, both eager and afraid to touch.

Grandpa felt that Lu Junfeng, a child, was actually very much like himself at the beginning, and when he saw Fang Yuan at first sight, he also had the obsession of suffering from gains and losses and being unwilling to let go, even far away from her father......

Thinking of this, my grandfather's expression softened a lot, and his tone when he spoke was no longer rigid and serious, and even joked, "She is the same as you, with two hands, two legs, and a head, can she be a little longer than you?" I think she's not as good as you, she has a bad temper and can't endure hardship, it's all her mother and grandmother who spoil her......"

The mention of his deceased daughter made the old man's heart stagnate, but his facial lines were too deep and vicissitudes, so it was difficult to see from this face no matter what his thoughts were.

Lu Junfeng handed him a glass of water at the right time, but this time his grandfather didn't push it away, but suddenly held his hand when he took the water cup that had faded the enamel from his hand.

Grandfather: "I'll ...... far away I've entrusted it to you. ”
