Chapter Twenty-Four: Licking the Calf
The first monthly exam is over.
On Sunday afternoon, Ming Hao took Tian Tian to look at the road in the park, Chen Jiabao and Dong Zixuan said that they would bring Teacher Ai here to move their bodies. Minghao hadn't seen Teacher Ai for a few days, and the last time she saw her, she could only stand on the head of the bed for a while, and she couldn't walk. I don't know what's going on now?
Seeing a car parked on the side of the road in the park from a distance, Dong Zixuan got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a wheelchair from it, opened it, and pushed it to the back door of the car. After Chen Jiabao got down, he carried Mr. Ai out of the car and carefully placed him in the wheelchair.
Minghao lowered his head and said to Tiantian: "Look, who is coming?" ”
Tian Tian ran over quickly, shouting, "Grandma Ai——! ”
Teacher Ai smiled and shouted, "Slow down——! Don't fall——! ”
Ming Hao also followed his daughter to Teacher Ai's side and greeted, "Teacher Ai, how is your recovery recently?" It looks good! ”
Chen Jiabao hurriedly said: "Teacher Ai can go far now by helping people!" ”
"This kid accompanies me to exercise on Sundays. With him by my side, I'm not afraid to walk! Teacher Ai had a happy smile on her face.
Dong Zixuan pushed Chen Jiabao and said, "I said, why do you kid desperately memorize English on Saturday?" It turned out that I was afraid that Mr. Ai would ask questions on Sunday! He leaned down again, looked at Teacher Ai and said, "Teacher Ai, this is not good!" You can't be a tutor for Jiabao alone! - Don't be biased! ”
Just when everyone was talking and laughing, Dong Lixing had already walked to their side. He walked straight up to Tian Tian: "Tian Tian,—— do you still recognize grandpa?" ”
Ming Hao was a little surprised by Dong Lixing's appearance and said, "Ah, you're here too!" ......, Tiantian, called-Grandpa Dong! ”
"Hello Grandpa Dong!" Tian Tian called out politely.
Zixuan said: "I heard that we are here today to accompany Teacher Ai for activities, and my father specially drove us here. ”
Teacher Ai said: "The mayor of Nenglao drove me personally, I really have a lot of face!" I really don't know what to say, thank you——! ”
Dong Lixing said: "It is a blessing for students to have a teacher like you!" - It's also a blessing for parents! We should thank you. He looked at Ming Hao again and said, "Then-you accompany Teacher Ai to exercise, and I will take Tiantian to the playground over there to play?" ”
Ming Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Tian Tian: "Go!" Don't be naughty! ”
"Dad, aren't you going?" Tian Tian was a little reluctant.
"You go to play with Grandpa Dong first, Dad hasn't seen Grandma Ai for a long time. I'll be with you later, okay? Ming Hao comforted his daughter.
Dong Zixuan grabbed Tiantian's two pigtails and pulled them up, pretending to be angry and said, "Little girl, uncle is jealous!" I didn't have that treatment when I was a kid! ”
Tian Tian made a grimace at Zixuan: "Hmph! If you're jealous, eat more! - Grandpa Dong, let's go! ”
Dong Lixing held his sweet fleshy little hand, as if he had drunk honey in his heart, it felt like his granddaughter's name - Tiantian!
Whether it was Niu Niu or Zi Xuan, he had never accompanied them to places like the playground, and almost all he thought about at that time was work.
However, since he saw Tian Tian in Ming Hao's house, he couldn't let go of it in his heart, and all he was thinking about was this child! His desire to see Tian Tian even exceeded that of seeing Minghao! - Maybe you're really old? Or maybe this is the so-called "next generation"? - He himself can't tell.
Ming Hao stood in the distance, looking at the backs of the grandfather and grandson, with extremely complicated feelings.
……
"Baby ——!" Not far away, a gray-haired old woman shouted at her.
When Chen Jiabao heard this, he hurriedly ran over.
The old woman hugged her family treasure for a long time and didn't let go.
Ming Hao remembered that this old woman had appeared at the school gate a few times during military training.
……
In the afternoon, Ni Na came out of Teacher Zhang Mingjin's make-up class, and the taxi driven by her father was waiting at the door.
"Ni Na, why is it this car every time I pick you up?" Linlin asked.
"Ahh I'm a chartered car. ”
"Chartered car? Alone? - Everyone else is a car with several people! You charter one by yourself and pick you up from school! - How expensive! ”
"What are you afraid of? Isn't the money our parents make for us? After saying that, Ni Na hurriedly got into the car.
Ni's father said, "Let's take a piece back with a classmate who is on the way, right?" ”
"No, you don't! - Let's go! ”
"Why aren't you happy today? The teacher didn't understand the lesson? The father looked at his daughter's face and asked with concern.
"What's not to understand? It's not a new lesson! It's about workbooks. - I don't even want to make it up! ”
"If you don't want to make it up, you won't make it up! - Can you get the make-up fee back? Dad cautiously tested.
"That's a little more money? Coming back? - Isn't there a shame? Ni Na looked at her father with disdain and said, "Besides, everyone makes up classes, and if I don't go, won't I just pull it down?" - It's better if everyone doesn't make it up! ”
……
As soon as Ni Na entered the door, she found that something was wrong, it must be that grandma is here again!
Ni Na hates grandma the most! In this family, Mom and Dad have always pursued the principle that "daughters must be rich". No matter how hard and tired you are, you must not bend your daughter. Otherwise, I am afraid that girls will be poor and short-sighted, and once they encounter material temptations from the outside world, they will not be able to resist.
Ni's father has a cousin, who is greedy for the material pleasures in front of him and goes astray. Therefore, although the conditions of their husband and wife are not very good, their daughter is pampered and privileged.
However, the concept of grandma is completely different from that of Ni Na's parents. One of the things she often says is "habitual like a murderer". Every time she comes, she always inevitably criticizes Ni Na, so every time this ancestor and grandson get together, they almost break up unhappily.
……
"Coming back? Quick, wash your hands and eat! When the mother saw her daughter coming back, she hurriedly took the schoolbag and handed over the slippers, "Grandma is here!" Specially brought you so many delicious foods! ”
Hearing that her granddaughter was back, the grandmother hurriedly came out of the kitchen with the washed melons, sand fruits, and plums smiling
"Countryside - what can you eat?" Ni Na glanced at it, then went straight back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Ni's mother was slightly embarrassed, but the fruit plate in her mother-in-law's hand said, "The child is too tired from class!" Every day when I come back, I want to sleep, and even we can't say a few words. ”
"Alas——! You guys—get used to it! Sooner or later, there will be a day of regret! ”
……
Dad took another trip to work and came back to have dinner with his old mother.
Ni's mother served the last dish, braised carp, and deliberately put it in front of Ni Na, because Ni Na said that eating fish is the most nourishing for the brain.
"Why don't you two eat this fish?" Grandma took a chopstick fish and tasted it.
Mom and Dad saw Ni Na's face gloomy and looked at each other.
"Mom, try this pork rib stewed beans, Nana's mother made it, it's delicious!" Dad put a piece of ribs in the old man's bowl.
"I can't gnaw bones with my teeth! - This fish is good, and there are few spines! Grandma took another bite of fish.
Ni Na angrily brought the fish to her grandmother and said, "You have eaten it all!" ”
"Don't! You put it there, I can do it! Grandma didn't notice Ni Na's face.
"You're so stumbling enough, how hard it is! Put it in front of your eyes, you eat alone, eat enough! Otherwise, it's like I'm arguing with you! ”
Grandma listened to Ni Na's words, slowly put down her chopsticks, and said, "It seems that grandma is arguing with you?" - I said, why don't your parents eat this fish? It turns out that this is made for you! ”
Ni Na's father hurriedly explained: "Mom, don't get me wrong! - Nana, she didn't mean that! - Nana, tell Grandma, you don't mean that......"
However, Ni Na threw her chopsticks on the table, turned around and went back to her room.
Grandma is a big mouth at Ni Na's father! Pointing to his nose and scolding: "Fourth——! I will give birth to you four sons! Pull you up with hard work! Which son's house did my old lady go to, didn't she straighten her waist? Who dares to show me a look? I'm buried in the loess to my neck! I didn't expect that ——, in your house, it was just a bite of fish, and I was going to suffer the white eyes of my granddaughter! Other people's families raise children, but your family is an ancestor——! ”
The old lady picked up her coat and was about to go out.
Ni Na's father knelt in front of her mother all of a sudden: "Mom——! You can't go! If you just leave, how will your son be a man in the future? It's all sons who are not filial! As he spoke, he slapped himself left and right.
……
"Look, Grandma is so angry! Why don't you give your dad some face, go out and coax grandma! Nana's mother persuaded her daughter in the room.
"Look at her eating face! It's like I've never eaten fish in my life! Am I wrong? Why should I apologize to her? ”
"Listen! - Your dad is beating himself! Don't you feel sorry for your father? Ni Na's mother burst into tears.
"He wants to fight himself, what can I do?"
"Nana——! Mommy, please——! Nana's mother knelt in front of her daughter as she spoke.
Ni Na avoided her mother in disgust and shouted, "What are you doing here? Moral kidnapping? - You have to force me, right? Okay, I'll go! I'm going to apologize——! Okay, right? - I can't stand you guys! ”
……
"This kid is used to being like this by you, how can you get it in the future?" In her son's room, Grandma Ni said.
Nana's mother hurriedly closed the door and said, "Mom, don't be angry! People say that such a big child is in the rebellious period, and it will be fine after a while! ”
"It's not that we spoil her too much! You say, if a girl is like Reiko, if she sees money, won't she ruin her life? Nana's father said.
"I'm afraid——, this kid doesn't know how to be grateful, raise it to the end, raise a white-eyed wolf!"
"Mom——! How can you talk like that? Even if this child is not your own granddaughter, then it is connected to you! Okay, aren't they all you hugging? Nana's mother said unhappily.
