Quiet around the beds.

There was no sound for a while.

Sakutsu Koto looked at Minamoto with a blank gaze.

Her cherry-colored lips opened and trembled slightly.

I can even clearly feel the speed of my heartbeat.

In the end, it was Sakuhara Koto's grandmother who broke the silence.

"Ato's boyfriend?"

Grandma Qing Shui was obviously a little shocked, and sat on the hospital bed for a long time before she reacted, and looked at him and couldn't help but mutter.

Yuan Laiguang may be the calmest person present, and he had thought of this kind of scene in advance, so he generously admitted at this time: "Yes, my name is Yuan Laiguang, and I am now dating Saki Hatsu-san." ”

As soon as he heard the word communication, Sakutsu Koto's body still trembled involuntarily.

Some timid eyes peeked into his face from their slender bangs.

Holding the corners of her skirt with both hands, she loosened it and repeated it back and forth several times.

"Good boy, good boy." Grandma Qing Shui muttered a few words softly, and seemed to remember the way of hospitality, and immediately turned her head and ordered: "Ateng, go make tea!" ”

"Grandma... We don't have tea..."

Sakuha's voice came weakly.

Grandma Qing Shui's face stiffened when she heard this, but she quickly returned to normal, looked at Yuan Laiguang and said in an apologetic tone: "It really makes you laugh, our conditions are not very good, and we didn't prepare in advance." ”

Then she turned her head and commanded:

"Ato, you go down and buy some tea and come back, my wallet is under the mattress."

"Please don't bother."

Yuan Laiguang smiled and stopped Sakutsu Koto, who wanted to act, and then brought the bag at his feet to her, and explained softly: "I also bought black tea just now, and it was in the bag I carried, please make it." ”

Sakuhatsu Koto looked at him blankly.

Then he turned his head to look at his grandmother.

I looked a little overwhelmed for a while.

Seeing that her granddaughter was so blind, Grandma Shimizu was so angry that she almost jumped off the hospital bed, glared at Sakutsu Xiaoteng and said, "Why don't you go and find it!" ”

“... Oh... Oh..."

Saki Chu Xiaoto was reprimanded, and he didn't get angry at all, but just bent down to look for it in a daze.

"Ato, this kid is like this sometimes, please don't mind, sit down."

Grandma Qing Shui looked at her granddaughter and sighed, she didn't know why she was worried, she turned her head and hurriedly tidied up the quilt next to the bed, smoothed out the folds of the mattress with her hands, and specially left room for Yuan Laiguang to sit down.

"I don't mind."

Yuan Laiguang didn't have to stand, and sat down according to the old man's wishes.

But it may be the reason for the first meeting.

Or maybe it's because a stranger suddenly has a relationship.

After sitting down, the two looked at each other and did not speak.

The scene was even a little awkward.

In the end, Grandma Qingshui, who was still an old man, took the lead in opening her mouth, and naturally grabbed Yuan Laiguang's hand and patted it, and said with a smile on her very thin face, which was tortured by illness:

"Ato, this kid has a boyfriend, and he didn't even tell me in advance, and the old woman who hurt me didn't have any preparations today."

"I've only been dating Saki Hatsu-san for a short time, and I also proposed to see you today." Yuan Laiguang had already thought of the excuse, but it was not too unnatural.

"Alas~"

Grandma Qing Shui sighed, as if because the meeting was already complete, she said very directly: "The old woman is not in good health, you have also seen it, the family conditions are not good, and there is nothing to entertain guests, it is really a little blushing to say it." ”

"It's okay, I know a little about Sakuhatsu-san's situation, please don't think I'm biased." Yuan Laiguang smiled and waved his hand, and did not pretend not to know anything, just tell the truth.

In fact, in normal conversation, sincerity is more useful than masks.

At least his words did not make the old man feel bad, but showed a more appreciative look in his eyes, and even a little relief and peace of mind in it.

And Sakuhatsu Koto, who was silently making tea next to him, pricked up his ears.

Hearing Yuan Raiguang's words, he even paused for a moment to insert the hot water kettle.

Then he added water to it with a slight distraction.

“... Ah Guang... You can call the old woman that, and the children in my hometown call it that, if you mind, I can change it. ”

"You can call me whatever you want, although my name is Lai Guang, my parents also call me Ah Guang."

"Listen to your accent, are you also from Kyoto?"

"My hometown is in the countryside of Miwa Town."

"Miwa Town? It's really fate, we're in Mizuho Town. ”

"I really don't know about this, and I haven't asked Saki Hatsu-san."

"Maybe our two families still have relatives, if this is the case, it will be more convenient, when you get married in the future, you need a matchmaker, it is better to let the relatives of the two families be matchmakers, and the close old women can rest assured, you don't have to go far to visit relatives when you get married..."

“......”

Mitsuwa and Mizuho are both administrative districts under the jurisdiction of Kyoto City.

It is also the most typical countryside where Kansai farmers are located.

It borders Hyogo Prefecture and is located in the middle of the region, without any water area.

These two towns happen to be next to each other, and the place in Japan is so big, as a town in the low-level administrative area, in fact, you can ride a tricycle for more than ten minutes, so it is indeed a bit fateful.

“... Grandmother... Tea..."

Saki Chu Xiaoto came over with a small bowl at this time, lowering his head and not daring to look at either of them, but his ears were red when he was covered by hair.

Her hand holding the small bowl trembled a little, and she felt a little shy and uncomfortable, why did grandma suddenly talk about marriage, and she also said so many things after marriage, as well as being a matchmaker and visiting relatives after marriage.

But Yuan Laiguang and her are not like that.

Just thinking of this, Sakutsu Koto's head lowered a little more, and his hidden gaze also darkened.

Grandma Qing Shui glanced at her granddaughter who was distracted again, knocked her fingers on the table on the hospital bed, and said a little angrily: "Serve tea to the guests first." ”

Saki Chu Xiaoto was taken aback, and instantly came back to his senses, not daring to think about it anymore, and hurriedly brought the small bowl to Yuan Laiguang's face, and whispered intermittently: "Please... Please drink tea..."

"Thank you."

Yuan Laiguang thanked him.

As soon as his voice fell, he took the small bowl handed over, and Grandma Qing Shui, who was sitting on the hospital bed, suddenly said: "Ateng, you go to the pharmacy department to get the medicine, I have finished what the doctor prescribed." ”

"Huh? Getting your medicine? Didn't you just get it a few days ago? ”

Saki Chu Koto raised his head and asked a little dazedly.

Grandma Qing Shui patted her a little angrily, escaped the list under the pillow and gave it to her, and said loudly while nudging down: "If the old woman tells you to go, you can go, I just finished the medicine." ”

“... Oh..."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Sakutsu Koto still took the order, glanced at Yuan Laiguang and hurriedly walked out with his head down.

When Sakutsu Koto walked out of the ward, there were only the two of them left on the side of the bed.

Yuan Laiguang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this grandmother, but on the surface, he still pretended to be fine, looked at the gray-haired old man and asked aloud: "Are you hungry, I bought some snacks, take them out for you to eat." ”

Grandma Qing Shui waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, and then her cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked at Yuan Laiguang's face with burning eyes and suddenly said:

"Ah Guang, you didn't have a relationship with Ah Teng, did you?"

Yuan Laiguang was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the old man's face.

It seemed that he noticed the strangeness of Yuan Laiguang, and Grandma Qing Shui was also afraid that he would misunderstand him, so she explained in a wide voice:

"Don't be nervous, you child, although the old woman is not in good health, her eyes are not blind, it is obvious that you have no relationship, but the old woman can also see that you are not a bad child."

"And this week's medical expenses are also paid by your child."

"The old woman has no malice, and she is very grateful to you, I just want to know..."
