Chapter 44: A Family Business?
Regarding the topic of Yuan Sheng, Laiyang replied with a unified sentence of "very good".
Seeing his attitude, the second elder glanced at each other, and didn't say anything more, but went to clean up the bedding and boil the bath water for him.
After lying comfortably in his bed, Laiyang lit a cigarette and took out the album he had treasured for many years from the bedside table and flipped through it.
After turning a few pages, Laiyang saw a group photo taken when he and Yuan Shengda went to Famen Temple when they were in junior high school.
It was a hot summer vacation, and the two of them each stole money from their homes and started a trip that they said they would go.
Not only went to Famen Temple, but later went to Huashan, Laiyang remembered very clearly, when climbing the thousand-foot cliff of Huashan, he also scared Yuan Sheng into crying.
Huashan is already famous for its danger, and the thousand-foot cliff is extremely steep, at that time, he deliberately walked behind, taking advantage of Yuan Sheng's inattention, quietly hiding behind a stone wall, shouting for help!
But after Yuan Sheng turned around, she couldn't find herself, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped off the cliff at that time.
Although she later explained that she was afraid that she would not dare to face her family if Laiyang died, so she planned to die a hundred times.
But that friendship has been remembered by Laiyang until now.
Looking at the album, Laiyang was a little distracted, he didn't expect Yuan Shengda to come back a while ago and visit his parents, but she didn't tell herself about it.
Laiyang sent a WeChat message to Yuan Sheng and asked her what she was doing?
After a few seconds, the reply was there: [I'm arguing with my aunt. 】
Looking at this reply, Laiyang couldn't help laughing, and after chatting with her briefly, Yuan Shengda asked him if he went to the hospital to see her mother?
Laiyang replied with an embarrassed expression, saying that he would go early tomorrow morning, and he had just finished dealing with the house with Gu Qian today.
Talking about this topic, Yuan Shengda took the opportunity to ask the reaction of the family again, and after Laiyang briefly elaborated, she coldly sent another intriguing message.
[Li Dian said that your family went to look for you quietly, what is the impression of your uncle and aunt? 】
The reason why it is intriguing is because of her words, indirectly thinking that Tian Jing will go home with her.
This makes Laiyang not understand, is she misunderstanding herself? Or is there a misunderstanding of tranquility? Or is there a misunderstanding about their relationship?
[It's just a simple meeting, how do you think she will come home with me?] Laiyang replied.
[A woman's intuition. 】
After seeing this news, Laiyang smiled and replied that her intuition was not accurate, and she quarreled with Tian Jing again.
Hearing this, Yuan Sheng asked what was the reason for the quarrel.
I don't know how to reply to Laiyang's question now, and the reason for the quarrel seems to be the matter of going home with me.
Laiyang generally couldn't talk anymore and began to take the initiative to change the topic, but as soon as he changed, Yuan Sheng didn't reply.
……
I also had a little insomnia tonight, and I stayed up until more than one o'clock in the evening, when Laiyang suddenly saw Tian Jing post a circle of friends.
A photo of the clock tower with the caption: A cold city.
She hasn't slept so late? I don't know if the coldness in her mouth really refers to the temperature, or is it a sarcasm for herself?
Laiyang lit a cigarette by the head of the bed again, and the smoke in the dark night was reflected in the light blue of the mobile phone screen, and his thoughts began to drift away with the smoke.
Thinking about it carefully, she and Tian Jing met each other, and it seems that it is indeed like what she said.
Every time I approach her, it is purposeful, the first time is because of the renewal of the theater lease, the second time is because of commercial performances, so the third time is to eat today?
To say that Laiyang admitted it the first two times, but the third time was a bit far-fetched, but this was the most angry for her, and she also said that she used her.
No, Tian Jing said it twice? That doesn't seem to match what I thought.
It's really a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, and I don't understand it at all.
……
The next day was a crisp day, the sun was good, but the wind did blow fiercely, and it felt like the old city walls were about to freeze out of the cracks, and a thin layer of ice slag had condensed on the street, and the withered fallen leaves slipped over it from time to time.
Laiyang bought some fruit and a handful of carnations, and came to the hospital ward of Yuan Shengda's mother, Yuan's father was also there, and when he saw Laiyang coming, the old couple were overjoyed.
Because the two families have been familiar with each other since childhood, they used to be in a chemical factory, so Laiyang didn't feel squirming, and Yuan Sheng's parents themselves have always called the second mother and the second father, and they are very kind.
The second mother's high blood pressure has been treated for a while, and it has improved a lot, and in the process of chatting, Laiyang knew that she would be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow.
Speaking of this, the second father grinned and said that Laiyang was a blessed child, and as soon as he came to the hospital, the second mother's illness would be cured.
Laiyang's old face was embarrassed when he listened, and then he took out a thick envelope from his arms and handed it to his second father, expressing his little heart.
There are 5,000 yuan stuffed here, which Laiyang took out from those 500,000 miles.
But the second father pushed and refused to ask for it, Laiyang had no choice but to force it down, and hurriedly greeted him, ready to leave.
But after he just came out of the door of the ward, the second father chased after him, Laiyang thought that he was going to return the money, and he thought of the wording in his mouth, but he didn't expect the second father to just say that he wanted to talk to him......
The two came to the smoking area downstairs, and the second father handed one to Laiyang, and after another burst of fog, he asked about his daughter.
"Loud her...... Uh, Xiaoqing, she's fine, and now it's all good to play the theater with me. Laiyang gave an official standard answer.
"Oh, this girl just likes to follow you, in fact, the second father didn't agree very much, after all, Shanghai is too far away, but I heard that you are doing a good job now, and you are ready to buy a house in Shanghai?"
"Ahh
The corners of Laiyang's mouth twitched, causing the second father to look puzzled.
Yuan Shengda is boasting about himself in front of his parents?
"Yoko, what's wrong with you? How does your face look weird? The second father took a cigarette and looked at Laiyang with a slight tilt of his cheeks.
"Oh, it's okay, just ...... Suddenly there was a ringing in my ears. ”
Laiyang gags his mouth by smoking, and his mind is thinking quickly.
Could it be that the last time Yuan Shengda came back, her family objected to her going to Shanghai again, so she lied and said that she was in the middle of nowhere?
Lai Yang remembered the chattering smile on the corner of Yuan Shengda's mouth when he asked him to visit his mother.
"As long as you can establish a foothold in Shanghai, as long as your life is secure, in fact, the second father is not the kind of stubborn person."
Laiyang smoked a cigarette and nodded vigorously, for fear that if he said too much, he would lose.
When a cigarette was about to be smoked, the second father suddenly said: "I just didn't expect that you guys who have been fighting and quarreling since you were a child can finally fall in love." ”
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Laiyang was almost choked to death by the smoke, he suddenly looked up at his second father, his eyes full of disbelief.
The second father's dark skin smiled and patted Laiyang on the shoulder, "Xiaoyang, don't hide it from the second father, Qingqing told me last time she came back, it was you who chased her, since we are together, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, it is the burden on your shoulders, but it is even heavier." ”
As he spoke, the second father's rough palm slapped on Laiyang's shoulder very strongly.
"Remember to take care of yourself and Qingqing outside, my second mother and I are also old, so I can't help you much, just try not to hold you back."
"I'll go to your parents to talk about this family affair after a while, you are both not young, if the relationship is stable, start a family first, and then slowly start a business."
"Xiaoyang? What are you doing in a daze? ”
"Kid, are you not feeling well?"
