Chapter 264: Grief
Peng Tongyuan's face was tired, he answered the hello, watching Jian Yi's figure disappear, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He stood in the living room for a long time before dragging his tired body back into the room.
The year flies by so quickly that it seems like winter is coming in the blink of an eye. Jian Yi is still very busy, the old lady and Aunt Qing have not come back since they learned that the house was flooded, Jian Yi will take time to go over almost once a month to see what the old lady needs, or buy some food and daily necessities to send over.
She bought a car, but it was a used car. It was eliminated by a colleague from Luo Yu's husband's company, and he had only been driving it for more than a year, because he planned to change to a better car after getting married, so he planned to sell it. The price was slightly lower than the market price, which was in line with the simple budget, so I bought it.
I don't feel anything when I go to work, and I can't borrow someone else's car every time I go to the countryside, and if I take the car and delay it too much, it will take half a day on the road.
The winter solstice was extremely cold, and at noon, Luo Yu asked everyone to get off work early today and go to eat mutton hot pot together. There was a burst of cheers in the office, calling out long live Sister Luo.
There were still a few hours left in the afternoon, and everyone began to discuss how to slaughter Luo Yu in the evening. Jian Yi laughed when she heard this, and couldn't help but shake her head.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the office was full of activity. I'm also more active than ever in dealing with the things at hand, and try to leave work early.
Jian Yi finished the work at hand and was about to make coffee when her mobile phone rang. The phone was an unfamiliar number, and she had just picked it up when the person on the other end of the phone asked, "Is it Miss Song?" ”
Jian Yi replied yes and asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”
"Hello Miss Song, I am the nanny at Mr. Zhou's house, and Mr. Zhou asked me to call you, saying that today is the winter solstice, please come to the house for dinner." The nanny is a middle-aged woman in her forties, polite.
Grandpa Zhou has been in the countryside all this year, and Jian Yi didn't expect him to come back. She couldn't help but be stunned, and before she could find an excuse to refuse, the nanny said: "Please also ask Miss Zhou to come over anyway, the old gentleman has inconvenient legs and feet, and now he can't walk on the ground." ”
Jian Yi couldn't help but be stunned, because of Zhou Qi's relationship, she never called the old man again, nor did she ask. I didn't know that the old man was sick again.
She put aside all hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll come back later." ”
The nanny thanked her for hanging up the phone, and after hanging up the phone, she stood for a while before going to Luo Yu's office and telling her that she had something to do today and would not go to dinner.
She hadn't been to the Zhou family's old house for so long, so she couldn't go there empty-handed, so she drove to the mall to buy gifts, and then she passed.
Although Zhou Zhengtao's family has moved back, only the old man is still at home during the daytime. When Jian Yi passed, Li Su picked up the kindergarten children and came back, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her.
Jian Yi was thinking about how to explain, and the nanny greeted her, and said to Li Su: "The old man said that he hadn't seen Miss Song for a long time, so let me call and invite Miss Song to come over for dinner." ”
Li Su has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, and said with a smile: "Miss Song hasn't been here for a long time, please come in." ”
The old man was still in the room, and after Jian Yi sat down in the living room, Li Su personally delivered refreshments, and asked the aunt to see if the old man was awake.
The aunt took the order, and it didn't take long for footsteps to come. Jian Yi thought that the aunt was pushing the old man over, and looked sideways, but the person she saw was Zhou Qi. He was wearing a black suit, with the buttons of his shirt spread out, cold and noble.
The two hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, and when they suddenly saw him, they couldn't help but be stunned. She only planned to come over and sit and leave, and had no plans to meet Zhou Qi.
Li Su also didn't expect Zhou Qi to be there, and his car was not parked outside. She was also stunned for a moment, then greeted with a smile on her face and said, "Ah Qi, you are back." ”
She and Zhou Zhengtao are old husbands and young wives, and they are not much older than Zhou Qi. This sentence came out of her mouth, and it sounded a little weird.
The look on Zhou Qi's face remained unchanged, he nodded slightly, and then said to Jian Yi: "Grandpa just fell asleep, and it is estimated that it will take a while to wake up." ”
Jian Yi just wanted to come over early, but she didn't expect that she was not at the right time. She nodded, but did not speak.
Despite Li Su finding a topic to talk about, the atmosphere in the living room was still dreary. Jian Yi occasionally echoed a few words, but Zhou Qi barely spoke much from beginning to end.
He lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke much, letting it burn between his fingers. His gaze swept over Jian Yi, who was sitting opposite, she seemed to be a little more succulent, wearing a camel-colored Nizi coat, revealing a lean and capable everywhere, just like the workplace beauty who walked out of the building with the wind.
It didn't take long for Zhou Qi to retract his gaze, get up and stand by the window to smoke.
When the old man woke up, it was already dark outside, and Zhou Zhengtao also returned home early today, only Zhou Jining, who was on a business trip, did not come back.
He was happy to see Jian Yi, and said that he was too far away in the countryside before, so Jian Yi would come over often to play in the future.
The old man was hospitalized again in October, and his health was not as good as before. Especially when it's cold, he spends more time asleep than he is awake.
The Zhou family also showed harmony for a short time, and he said that he would respond to everything from Zhou Qi, and he would no longer go toe-to-toe with Zhou Zhengtao.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, the old man asked Jian Yi about her grandmother's current situation, and there were many things he wanted to say to her, but he was not in good spirits, so he didn't say much and went back to the room, and told Zhou Qi to send Jian Yi back.
Jian Yi got up to say goodbye after the old man returned to the room, Li Su was extremely enthusiastic, and invited her to come over to play when she was free. Come and see the old man, he is much happier to come here today.
Jane answered.
She drove over and refused to let anyone send it, but Li Su didn't insist, but followed her outside. In winter, it was rainy and the yard was wet. The flowers and plants have gradually lost their greenery, and everywhere is gloomy.
The two walked down the stone stairs, and Zhou Qi said, "Thank you for coming to see grandpa." ”
Jian Yi politely said what he should do, and remembered that Old Man Zhou, who was in poor spirits after saying a few words, couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and asked, "Grandpa Zhou's body, what did the doctor say?" ”
She always had some bad premonitions.
Zhou Qi was silent, did not speak, and said lightly after dozens of seconds: "Doctor, let me pay more attention, maybe I won't be able to survive this winter." ”
Despite her premonition, Jian Yi was still grabbed by the sudden discomfort. She was speechless for a moment, her grief was like a burst of water, wrapping her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
