Chapter 75: Time Bomb
Two days later, in the afternoon, Jian Yi was accompanying the old lady to clean up the old things at home. Suddenly received a call from Qiao He, saying that she was at her door and asked her to open the door.
Jian Yi didn't expect her to come suddenly, so she hurried out. Sure enough, she was standing outside, wearing a green wide-brimmed hat with a bow and carrying a lot of tonics and stuff in her hands. Seeing Jian Yi come out, he said angrily: "Why did you come out, I'm dying of heat." ”
It was afternoon, but the temperature was still high. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"I was busy just now." Jian Yi said, took the things in her hand, and reproached: "Come here, come here, why do you bring so many things?" ”
Chen Qiaohe has not come to the house once or twice, he is very familiar with this house, smiled, and said: "Didn't I not come last time my grandfather fell and injured me, of course I have to come and see this time." ”
Jian Yi led her into the house, the old lady had been waiting in the house for a long time, and when she saw that she was sweating, she asked Aunt Qing to bring a glass of frozen juice over, saying that she hadn't come over for a long time.
There are fewer friends in Jian Yi, and even fewer people come to the door. The old lady was happy to see Qiao He, and asked Aunt Qing to prepare the dishes she liked to eat at night.
Qiao He is also very good at coaxing the old lady to be happy, and he amused the old lady with a few words.
Jian Yi watched from the sidelines, and when she saw Qiao He and her grandmother coquettish, she shook her head and went to the kitchen to cut the watermelon and brought over the biscuits made by Aunt Qing.
This afternoon, the yard was very lively, Chen Qiaohe had a cheerful personality, and when he saw the old lady doing anything, he was helping on the side, and he was praised by the old lady constantly, which made Jian Yi's own granddaughter a little tasteful.
The dinner was very rich, and Aunt Qing specially called Uncle Chen from the vegetable market to bring the processed seafood.
But just as he was about to eat, Song Weihe appeared at the door. He didn't care about his daughter's friends, but he always maintained his affinity in front of outsiders, greeted Qiao He, and chatted with her amiably.
Jian Yi's nerves tensed unconsciously when he saw him come back, but he still maintained a superficial harmony. During the meal, Song Weihe drank a few sips of wine, talked about the real estate market that came in, and said that the neighboring city will soon be classified as a first-tier city, and the house price will definitely double at that time.
He talked eloquently, but no one answered his words, and the old man and the old lady also remained silent, only beckoning Qiao He to be polite and let her eat.
It was embarrassing that no one talked to Song Weihe, so he finally rounded the scene and stopped mentioning this stubble.
After eating, Chen Qiaohe got up to say goodbye, and Jane Yi sent her out, the courtyard was very quiet, and the dim light stretched the shadows of the two of them for a long time.
Chen Qiaohe noticed the change in the atmosphere, and saw that Jian Yi was distracted and didn't speak, until he reached the outside of the courtyard, he said, "Go back, I'll just take a taxi by myself." ”
Jian Yi came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "I'll send you, it's quite quiet here at night, you're not used to it." ”
Chen Qiaohe didn't insist, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Uncle Song is back, is there something wrong?" ”
Jian Yi shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I don't know. "It's not that she doesn't know, it's that she doesn't want to mention it to others. From her father's repeated investments, she could tell that he came back asking for money.
Jian Yi couldn't help but be disappointed in her heart, she thought that after the last incident, he would be more restrained. At least for the time being, there shouldn't be any more moths. But now it seems that it is not.
She sent Qiao He to the car before slowly walking back, in her selfish heart, she didn't want to go back, she didn't want to face her father's face. But she was afraid that he would quarrel with her grandfather.
Back in the yard, the home was unusually quiet. Her father probably didn't say anything to make the old man angry. Jian Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no one in the living room, neither the grandparents nor her father. She went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Qing, only to learn that her grandparents had returned to the room, and her father had also gone upstairs to rest.
The lights went out early in the house that night, but Jian Yi couldn't sleep. Her father was like a ticking time bomb, not knowing when it would explode.
She didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, and after the holiday, she turned off the alarm clock on her mobile phone and slept until nine o'clock. The house was very quiet, and Jian Yi walked downstairs quickly, but saw that Aunt Qing was the only one downstairs. She couldn't help but be stunned.
Aunt Qing seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "Today, your aunt and grandmother have a big birthday, and the old lady passed early in the morning. The old man ate breakfast and went out for a walk. Your dad seems to have something going on, he got up and got a call from someone he didn't know and left, and he didn't say that he couldn't come back. ”
Jian Yi nodded, no wonder the house was so quiet.
Aunt Qing prepared breakfast for her, and she was going to find her grandfather after eating, but she received a call from Teacher Du and went to school in a hurry.
I arrived home in the evening, and the house was still deserted, my grandfather was in the study, and my grandmother didn't come back tonight, so she stayed there for the night.
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Jian Yi had some bad premonitions, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Aunt Qing sighed and said, "After you left, your father came back, I don't know why, I had a big fight with the old man in the study, and finally let the old man take him away." ”
Jian Yi was silent, but his face was tense, and he said after a while: "I'll go see grandpa." ”
The old man sat in a daze in the study, his old face with deep tiredness. When he saw his granddaughter come back, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Ah Yi is back." ”
Jian Yi entered the study, skillfully pounded the old man's back, and said, "Aunt Qing said that you have been in the study all afternoon. ”
The old man was reluctant to tell her about his son, lest these things stain his granddaughter's ears. He smiled and said, "Think about something here." ”
He quickly changed the subject and asked about Jian Yi's work with concern. She answered them all.
The grandfather and grandson stayed in the study for a long time, and Jian Yi coaxed the old man to do so, and then helped him out for dinner.
At ten o'clock, she also sent the old man back to the room, and was about to turn off the lights and leave, when she heard the old man say softly: "Ah Yi, grandpa is sorry for you." ”
Jian Yi knew what he meant, and he had been blaming himself for failing to teach his son well. So much so that the granddaughter does not have a normal home.
Jian Yi tucked the corners of his back for him and said, "Where are you sorry for me?" I'm so happy to have you and grandma. Okay, it's not early, go to sleep, tomorrow I will accompany you to the flower and bird market to see if there are any flowers and plants you like. ”
The old man smiled and closed his eyes.
The next day, Jian Yi didn't get up very early. Aunt Qing was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and the old man hadn't woken up yet.
Jian Yi stepped forward to give Aunt Qing a hand, and when the breakfast was set, she went to the room to wake up her grandfather. But this morning was different from usual, and there was no response when she knocked on the door.
