Chapter 009: There is a Covenant
"Mom, didn't my eldest brother say it casually, how could he really let you go back to your hometown?" Ding Xiang said comfortingly.
"That's it! Dad, why don't you apologize to grandma? How old are the people, and they don't know how to speak! Ding Ming spoke.
Ding Dagang drank a few glasses of wine, and he was already a little drunk. He stiffened his neck and said, "Old child, old child, the older you get, the more like a child." It's hundreds of kilometers away from our house, and in the middle of the night, who do you ask to drive you back? The mountain road, in the middle of the night, who dares to drive? ”
Grandma suddenly whimpered and cried, saying, "I don't ask you, I don't ask you!" I'll walk back by myself, right? ”
As she spoke, she pulled out the stool, wiped her tears, and walked out.
Everyone was startled and put down the dishes and chopsticks, not knowing what to do.
"Mom, what are you doing here? What the hell is wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? Ding Xiang hurriedly grabbed his grandmother and said.
She looked up at Shu Wan and said, "Why are you standing stupidly?" Why don't you come over and comfort your grandmother? ”
Shu Wan went over, took her grandmother's hand, and said, "Grandma, is the food not to your taste?" Do you want to eat the water-milled tender tofu at the entrance of our village? ”
Grandma grabbed Shu Wan's hand like a life-saving straw, nodded and said, "Well, this thing smells too pesticide, I want to eat something that smells earthy in our hometown." ”
"So, grandmother, you can eat as much as you like today. I'll drive you home tomorrow, okay? Shu Wan said softly.
"But tomorrow, aren't you going to work?" Grandma said.
"It's fine. I still have annual leave left to take. I'll just call back and ask for a leave of absence. We have fifteen days of annual leave, and I will accompany you. Shu Wan said.
Grandma's eyes lit up and she said, "Really? I mentioned it to Dagang several times, and he said he didn't have time. Can you really accompany me back to my hometown? ”
"Of course it's true. Grandma, my uncle is usually busy, what do you have in the future, just tell me. I-idle! Shu Wan glanced at Ding Dagang with his eyes and said.
"Really? Wan'er, haven't you always had an opinion about your grandmother? Don't you blame grandma? Grandma looked at Shu Wan with tears in her eyes and asked.
Shu Wan's heart twitched, and tears almost came up. Grandma has been able to work for a lifetime, worked hard for a lifetime, and has to be strong for a lifetime. I didn't expect that at this moment, I could still show my weak side. She nodded and said, "No blame, no blame." At that time, my parents were too busy to take care of me. Thanks to you and my grandfather taking care of me to eat and drink, I can grow so tall and big. ”
"Child, my good boy, it's good that you don't blame me." Grandma patted the back of Shu Wan's hand vigorously and said.
"Grandma, I've been working all day, and I'm hungry. Can you eat a little with me? Shu Wan said.
"Wan'er, I'm really sorry. You've been on duty for a day, and you've got to drive over hungry to accompany me, an old woman. It's really hard for you. Sit down, sit down, eat, eat, eat. Grandma pulled Shu Wan and sat down again at the dinner table.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted their seats.
Before, it was Ding Dagang and Ding Xiang who sat with their grandmother, which would make Shu Wan viciously squeeze Ding Dagang away and sit next to his grandmother.
After eating, Shu Wan was thinking about how to make arrangements. Grandma said, "Wan'er, go home and rest." Grandma is fine. You are also a person with a unit, and you can't be too willful. In this case, you can accompany me back to my hometown on the weekend. If you want to take a long vacation, you have to arrange the work at hand well. ”
"Grandma, are you really okay?" Shu Wan asked.
Grandma nodded and said, "I, I don't know what happened just now, and I feel very uncomfortable." I'm going to be fine. ”
"Then tomorrow is Friday, I'll go to work for another day, and I'll accompany you back to your hometown early Saturday morning, okay?" Shu Wan said.
"What class? How many cents more can you earn a day in your unit? You'll be back tomorrow. Ding Xiang said.
"Xiang'er, how do you talk to Wan'er? Wan'er's unit is so good, I chatted with the old ladies in our community, and they all praised my niece's ability. That's it, Saturday back. Wan'er, you have arranged your work properly, don't let the leader have an opinion on you. Grandma said.
The bridge of Shu Wan's nose was sour, and he said, "Grandma, I know." ”
It was 1 a.m. when I drove back to my house.
Shu Wan took a shower, opened the balcony window, sat there habitually took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked.
"Borrow me to kill mediocre feelings, borrow my conniving pathos and crying, borrow my heartbeat as in the past, borrow my comfortable morning and evening ......" Xie Chunhua's voice sounded suddenly, it was Shu Wan's mobile phone ringtone.
Shu Wan thought that something was wrong with her grandmother, so she hurriedly ran over to see it and breathed a sigh of relief - it was Yu Fei who called.
She held a cigarette in one hand, picked up the phone with the other, spit out the smoke ring, and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night?" ”
"Where did you die? I've been calling you hundreds of times, and you haven't answered! Yu Fei's voice had more * flavor than Shu Wan's.
Shu Wan slid down the phone screen - thirty-five misses. She weakened her tone and said, "My phone is on mute." My grandmother has a birthday today, and I'll accompany her. ”
"It's Thursday and it's not Friday, what's your birthday? It's so late, you won't be able to go to work tomorrow? I also shouted all day long that I was too old to stay up late. Yu Fei said.
"Are you stupid? The elderly pay attention to the time of day when they celebrate their birthdays, can they change the time casually? Shu Wan said impatiently.
"Then, why didn't you call me for your grandmother's birthday? Your grandmother is my idol! If I'm over ninety and half as tough as her, I'll be satisfied! Yu Fei said.
"What's the matter?" Shu Wan diverted the topic.
"It's nothing...... Yu Fei said, "That, Xu Xiao asked us to go mountain climbing this weekend......"
"Yu Fei!" Shu Wan yelled, "I told you, tell you to stay away from him and stop contacting him." Are you a deaf ear to my words? ”
Yu Fei took the phone away a little and said weakly: "Xu Xiaoren is very good......
"Is he okay, it's about you? Let me tell you, he is a thief like him, and you should contact him less. ”
"Where does he have? He's pretty honest......"
"The first time I saw him, he said that he would help you make a down payment, and you thought he was talking casually? He's telling you he's rich! ”
"He's rich, what's the matter with me?"
"He's rich, it's really none of your business. But if he tells you that he has money, it's none of your business! ”
"What do you mean?"
"That means he's interested in you, you know?"
"No......"
"If you don't believe in pulling down, you are not allowed to go hiking with him on weekends anyway."
"No, I've made an appointment with him......"
"Then you can climb it yourself. I'm going back to my hometown on the weekend. ”
"Back to Rock Mountain?"
"yes."
"Are you crazy? It takes seven hours to drive, so why are you going back? Tired can't kill you! ”
"I sent my grandmother back. She was homesick. I'm going to call for annual leave tomorrow. ”
"Really?"
"Why am I lying to you? Okay, I'm sleepy and going to sleep. ”
"Okay, then you get off early. Remember in the future, even if the phone is muted, take it out and look at it more. If I can't get in touch with you, it's a lot of worrying. Yu Fei admonished.
"Got it, Aunt Yu!" Shu Wan hung up the phone, but he was a little moved.
She went back to the balcony and continued to smoke.
