Chapter 45: Grandma
After coming out of school, Yuan Ye got into a taxi waiting on the side of the road.
The car drove all the way out of the main street, into a road with fewer vehicles, and finally got more and more deviated, the road became narrower and narrower, and there were few people on the road.
The driver was a little puzzled, turned his head and asked, "Young man, are you sure that the address you gave is not wrong?" ”
Yuan Ye had a cold face and said in a cold tone: "You just keep going." ”
The driver had no choice but to follow his instructions and keep going.
Strangely, after driving for more than ten minutes, the car seemed to enter a paradise, and a wide and clean road appeared in front of me, with rare trees planted on both sides of the road, and colorful flower clusters under the trees.
Further inside, you will see a group of villas, located halfway up the mountain.
The driver couldn't help but marvel that he had lived in this city for most of his life, but he didn't know that there was such a unique place in Cloud City, this environment, this terrain, and this mansion were simply paradises on earth, and how many years would he have to struggle to live here.
The taxi stopped at the door of the villa, and Yuan Ye paid the money and walked to the villa area.
The security guard at the door knew him, saw him coming, automatically opened the door for him, and greeted him warmly.
"Ohara, did you come to see your grandmother again?"
Yuan Ye smiled and nodded, not saying much.
After entering the gate of the villa area, it took about five or six minutes to walk, and Yuan Ye finally stopped in front of a villa. The high foyer and grand entrance, round arched windows and corner stone masonry make it a magnificent experience. Fresh and unconventional, the white stucco wall combined with light red roof tiles, and the elegant living room give people a solemn feeling.
It wasn't until he came here that his mood was soothed.
The servant, who was working in the garden at the gate, saw him standing in front of the door, and immediately came up to open the door happily, and did not forget to shout into the house at the top of his voice: "Old lady, Ono has come to see you." ”
Not long after the words landed, I saw a kind old lady come out of the house, wearing a pair of reading glasses, a pearl necklace around her neck, a silk dress, and a book in her hand.
As soon as she heard that the wilderness was coming, the old lady was so excited that she forgot to put down the book and ran out directly.
Yuan Ye hurriedly stepped forward, for fear that she would fall, and while helping her to walk into the living room, he leaned down to talk to her.
"Grandma, how are you doing? Does your back still hurt? ”
The old lady is Yuanye's grandmother, who was once the daughter of one of the four major families in Yuncheng, with a strong family background and family history, and her ancestors are all figures with heads and faces in Yuncheng.
She was originally a university professor and lived in the city after retirement, but it was because of that incident that she chose to come to this quiet place to retire.
"It's been much better lately, the massage chair you bought me is very useful, I use it every day, plus there are doctors who come to see me every week, so it doesn't hurt much now."
The wilderness was relieved.
"Grandma, sit here, I'll give you a massage."
The elderly like to read, often keep their heads down, and their muscles and bones will naturally become stiff after a long time. After Yuan Ye found out, he learned massage techniques on the Internet, and every time he came here, he massaged her shoulders.
"Ono, I heard that you recently held an exam, how did you do in the exam, is it you who came first?"
Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, hesitating to tell his grandmother the truth, but after thinking about it, grandma is not the kind of person who only values grades.
Only then did he slowly speak: "No, it's another girl." ”
"Oh? Is there anyone better than you? ”
Qi Shuhua knows the strength of the field, this guy has inherited his mother's talent, he has a good brain since he was a child, it can be said that he will never forget, and what it takes others to understand for a long time, he can understand it at all. Every time the school takes an exam, the first place is always him.
Now, it is the first time that I can hear from his mouth that the first place is not him.
"Next time, bring it to my grandmother to see, which girl is so powerful that she defeated my precious grandson."
For some reason, Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly flashed Xu Chujian's arrogant and confident face, he bent his lips, a trace of tenderness crossed his face, and said, "Okay, I will definitely bring her to see you next time I have the opportunity." ”
The two of them were silent for a moment, and the vast living room was silent except for the ticking sound of the ancient alarm clock hanging on the wall.
In the end, it was Qi Shuhua who opened his mouth first.
"Did you go and sweep your mother's grave?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Yuan Ye's eyes, and he said lightly: "I went to school in the afternoon and bought her favorite flowers." ”
Today is the death day of Yuanye's mother Baixin, and every year at this time, Yuanye will buy a bouquet of flowers to see her, talk to her there, and then come to the villa to accompany her grandmother.
A deep sadness shrouded the two of them, this day, is engraved in their hearts, everyone is trying to restrain their emotions on weekdays, only on this day of the year, allow themselves to immerse themselves in sadness.
"I'm getting older and older, my legs and feet are not good, you can go to see her more for me when you are free, talk to her more, she is most afraid of loneliness, someone to talk to her, she must be happy."
"Okay."
Yuan Ye's eyes slowly reddened, and the words that were gently held out could not hide the pain in his heart.
The nanny at home looked at the two people in the living room, and the warm yellow light sprinkled on them, and there was a sense of harmony that had not been seen for a long time.
"Hey, it's only when Ono comes back that it feels a little bit of home." The old housekeeper who had followed Qi Shuhua for decades couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Inside the Xu family's villa
Warm yellow lights sprinkled in every corner of the living room, wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner, accompanied by a faint fragrance, and the smell became pleasant and calm.
At the log table in the living room, except for Xu Shan's position, which was empty, there were people sitting in the other places.
The Xu family has a rule that unmarried people, no matter how busy they are, must go home for dinner. So even Xu Xiaowen, who has become the leader of the company, has to rush back every night with food.
It's just that his face is a little ugly tonight.
Xu Chujian noticed that the eldest brother frowned, and his handsome face looked a little rigid and serious when he was tense. She thought that her eldest brother had encountered some difficulties at work, so she looked worried.
So, she gave him a bowl of pigeon soup very intimately, brought it to him, and said, "Big brother, let's eat first, don't worry about work for the time being." ”
Xu Xiaowen raised her eyes and looked at her little sister, although she has a too lively personality, she has never caused any trouble for her family since she was a child, she seems to be very arrogant and heartless, but in fact, her heart is thinner than anyone else.
Xu Xiaowen straightened his face, looked at him with seriousness in his eyes, and said, "I'm not worried about work, I'm worried about you." ”
