CHAPTER XXXVI
When they came to the living room, Li Ting and the others were all beckoning Jiang Yaohua to hurry over to see the wedding album of their daughter and son-in-law.
They had all seen the same, and now he was the only one left, sitting back on the couch and looking at each of the photographs alone.
He touched the paper of the album, looked at the clear pictures on it, and thought that the technology advanced today was really much updated as before.
Turning it over is a single photo of a woman, the one with the most gentle smile in the whole book and the other pages, and her smile in the photo is cheerful and innocent.
Jiang Yaohua looked at the one silently for a long time, and said with emotion, "This one is the most similar to when I was a child, but now I have never seen Ran Ran laugh like this." ”
Zhao Yiran is twenty-six years old this year, and their father and daughter have known each other for almost 20 years.
The next three people were in the dust, and they took off their suits. Unknowingly, he has become an inseparable part of this big family.
The round table of sumptuous dishes has not been so lively for a long time.
At different times, everyone's topic is different.
"Dong Fang, your mother is really a powerful woman." The old man's words soon after made the hearts of the juniors present tighten, especially the man across the table and Zhao Yiran who was sitting next to him.
It's just that he immediately added, "Let me admire, you have been cultivated so well, and the etiquette is also very thorough." ”
It turned out to be a commendation.
Last time, Dong's mother came to Yishi to meet Li Ting and Jiang Yaohua, and the next day she brought gifts again to see their two elders. said that it can be regarded as the intention of the younger generation, and there is no reason not to look at it when they come to the place.
In fact, this is something that everyone who has dealt with Dong's mother will realize, but Zhao Yiran, as a junior, and Li Ting, as an equal, are not as good as the old man, who is an elder.
So as soon as these words came out, the wife next to him nodded in agreement.
Especially when there is only one woman, she alone raised her son to become a man who can stand up to the sky and the earth today. This alone is something that many people can't do.
Dong relaxed his face and accepted their words with a smile. He realized that he was not good at speaking at times.
When he was young, he was reckless, and he thought that speaking was the easiest thing to do, and he said what was in his heart.
Later, he suffered a loss, and when he matured, he would listen and remember while talking, so he became talkative, and dared to say a few words on any occasion, but it was no longer the appearance of just talking before.
Until recently, he has been in contact with Zhao Yiran's family more and more, I don't know if it is the constraints of his identity or the hints in his heart, he feels that he has become mute, he loves to listen but does not like to speak, and more often he doesn't know whether to say or what to say.
Later, it was my uncle's words that made everyone change the topic again: "After a few days of rest, where will you go to the training camp?" ”
The three players at the table, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who is coming.
In the end, Jiang Eryang chewed the rice in his mouth and said the name of the place.
Li Rong exclaimed from his voice: "That's not close." ”
"Will Yang Yang be able to play this season?" The uncle-in-law next to him was putting vegetables on the plate and thought of something.
"Probably so."
"That's good, you can all see it on the field this time."
Zhao Yiran and Zheng Mengqi on the side looked at each other and smiled, always feeling that Dong Fang and Liang Jing, the two broken mouths, would not speak when they came to the house, so they just buried their heads in eating.
Later, the old man was attracted to the topic, and he was pinched by his son-in-law, and he really wanted to touch the ball.
"Okay, grandpa, I haven't played with you in a long time. It just so happens that we are resting these days, so find a time to play with you? "Son-in-law Liang Jing took the lead in exporting, and the momentum is rising.
The old woman was about to say something to stop her, but the old man waved her hand, "Not today, I'm all drinking." ”
However, the wife was still not satisfied, and retorted sharply, "What can't be done today, not any day!" You don't know what kind of body you have? Have you forgotten what the doctor said? ”
This old woman is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, the two of them have lived together for so many years, and the old man is very clear. softened his soft tone, "Play and shoot a few, and it's not like them." ”
Then he turned his head and threw the words to others, "Dong Fang, when are you free to play with me, an old fan?" ”
"Grandpa, what you said, we are free at any time, you can call us!" The man used to have contact with him, and he only stayed between words, knowing that the old man was a full fan, and he really hadn't shot a few together on the field.
At that time, when Liang Jing introduced him to his teammates in the lounge, Dong Fang didn't expect that he was Zhao Yiran's grandfather, and he didn't know that he would be in the current situation.
The old man smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Zheng Mengqi's father and then at Jiang Yaohua, "Okay, okay, just these few days, call your dad and your dad to come together." ”
There are six of these men. The old man thought that even if his physical strength was exhausted at that time, there would still be a team of people who could fight.
Jiang Yaohua at the dinner table didn't say anything, and after listening to his father-in-law's words, he just laughed with everyone.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yiran drove Li Ting and Jiang Yaohua home, and Dong was in the co-pilot.
"Today, Ran Ran told me that she wanted to learn to cook, and she wanted me to teach her." After getting in the car, Jiang Yaohua in the back threw his words.
When Li Ting heard this, she laughed as if she was snorting. Then he stretched his head forward, "Dong Fang, do you usually cook at home?" ”
The man turned his head to look at Zhao Yiran, and said with a smile, "Sometimes... But I don't even like her ink, so I won't let me into the kitchen later. ”
He felt that it was nothing to talk to his father-in-law and mother-in-law behind him.
"I haven't done it since I was a kid, but now I like to make trouble." The mother's words made Zhao Yiran, who was driving in front, pout, and secretly complained in her heart that she didn't understand the fun between her partners now.
What a blessing it is to be able to cook for my lover.
Jiang Yaohua laughed, "Yes, your mother knows that she can only help, and she doesn't even enter the kitchen." ”
The woman was very unconvinced, "My mother is lazy, so I don't learn from her." ”
Dong Fang saw each other and inserted needles to avoid the bickering of the mother and daughter, "Uncle, haven't you heard that you also touch the ball before?" ”
He remembered the words of the old man at the dinner table just now, and specifically pointed at Jiang Yaohua and asked him to shoot with everyone later.
The person who was asked put away his smile slightly, and as soon as he nodded, he was stopped by the person in front of him, "You haven't seen it, have you?" My dad also played well, but he didn't hide it. ”
A woman's words are very proud.
When Jiang Yaohua heard her daughter say this, she felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her hot mouth rose unconsciously.
Dong Fang really didn't know that in this family, he had only seen Liang Jing and Jiang Eryang of the same generation. He hadn't experienced the skills of the old man, Jiang Yaohua and his uncle.
"It's just right, I'll see you in the next few days!" Men are excited, after all, it is also a pleasure to do things that everyone likes with the people they admire.
I can't help but look forward to the family bureau that will take place in the next few days.
At this moment, none of them saw the serious expressions of the people behind them, and they were no longer as relaxed as they were jokingly just now.
Solemnly said to Li Ting on the side, "I'm going out for a few days, and Old Tang has been looking for me." ”
He didn't say it at home just now, and he didn't want to refute the old man's face in public.
When Li Ting heard this, her expression became a little serious. His eyes staring at him lingered, as if there was something to say.
At this time, Jiang Yaohua spoke again, and his voice was raised, "Dong Fang, I guess you won't see me touch the ball this time." When we have a chance, we'll make an appointment. ”
"Dad, why are you going?" The woman driving was curious, she didn't think much else about it at all.
"Oh, your Uncle Tang has been looking for me several times, and I won't have time to go to him when things have been less recently, and I won't have time to pass after a period of your wedding."
He was stating as if it were a normal thing.
He secretly glanced at Li Ting, who was stunned next to him, and didn't say much. Twist your head straight and look ahead.
In the car at that time, everyone was brought up with something in their hearts.
Dong put back his father-in-law's words and said that he was not in a hurry, and there would be more opportunities in the future.
Then he calculated the time and asked Zhao Yiran, "At that time, did you say that you would try on dresses in late August?" ”
The woman thought about it and remembered that this was how she communicated with the store at that time.
So he nodded slightly, and began to calculate the time in his heart.
Tried on wedding dresses in August, and now at the end of July... There are still 20 days... No, it's the end of July.
She suddenly remembered something, and then a series of things were strung together.
Zhao Yiran secretly regretted blaming himself for his bad memory, and he deliberately paid attention to it when he used the old yellow calendar to calculate the certificate and wedding date, but when he got to the eye, he almost didn't remember it.
In fact, she kept the date in mind, but she forgot some of the things that would happen at this time of year.
She probably understood why Jiang Yaohua went to find a friend.
Just now everyone had things on their hearts, but now these things are intertwined with each other, and finally they all climb to one.
The car drove to the main entrance of the Cullinan Garden, where they had to get off.
Li Ting looked at the direction of the car, with a complicated look in her eyes, and she said with some difficulty, "Old Jiang... There's really no need to go. ”
There were many things she wanted to say, but many of them stuck to her mouth. How should this kind of topic be brought up on a regular basis?
It's been twenty years, and she still hasn't found a comfort zone.
That's why everyone chooses to avoid it tacitly.
"It's all said, Old Tang is also waiting for me." Jiang Yaohua looked at her normally, with a hint of comfort, "Go home." ”
Li Ting looked at the arm he stretched out towards her, and said no more.
Year after year, there are things that are never forgotten, even if they are not mentioned.
The car drove smoothly in the middle of the road, and Dong Fang sat in the passenger seat leisurely looking for topics with his daughter-in-law. It's been over a week since I saw him, and he has a lot to say.
Suddenly, Zhao Yiran naturally opened his mouth and stopped the man's next sentence: "Accompany me to see my grandparents tomorrow." ”
For a while, Dong Fang didn't turn around.
His brain was spinning rapidly, and he clearly remembered that the woman had told him that Jiang Yaohua's parents had passed away, so...?
The words of doubt fortunately stopped in his mouth for a while, and the man thought of something again.
He seemed to understand.
