Chapter 162: Sincere? Hypocrisy?
No wonder Ye Hao was reluctant to come back outside before, the atmosphere of the Ye family was not only strange but also depressing.
When relatives who haven't seen each other for decades get together again, they are either happy or crying and laughing happily.
The Ye family, just like the contract negotiation in the shopping mall, is full of a sense of distance when they sit on one side.
Of course, it's all self-inflicted.
When I left, it was called a ruthless, and now I want to come back to make peace, who is willing to pay attention to you!
Su Wan saw Grandma Ye sitting on the main seat of the Eight Immortals Table, with a teacup and a book in her hand, looking calm and relaxed, very calm.
Ye Zhiyuan and Ye Jiao did not approach the Eight Immortals table, but sat opposite each other on the small wooden stools on the left and right, as for the others, they only stood.
The Ye family's life has been ordinary over the years, after Grandma Ye moved here with her grandchildren, the previous financial resources were cut off, and Grandma Ye was arranged to write slogans and big-character posters in the office of the street, and received ideological education by the way.
Therefore, Grandma Ye is also a staff member of the street office, she was still working a few years ago, and she was only idle at home after Ye Zhen entered the commercial office.
In the past ten years, the life of the Ye family has been the same as that of other families in the compound, and they have even lived a little poor because of their salary.
Therefore, the current furnishings of the Ye family are all old and old, except for the four sturdy and durable wooden chairs in front of the Eight Immortals table, Father Ye and Aunt Ye are sitting on small low stools that can only fit half of their buttocks.
Because the stool is not high, the two of them sit on it like a half-squat, which is not only uncomfortable for Ye Zhiyuan and Ye Jiao, who are well-dressed, but also a little funny in the eyes of outsiders.
Ye Hao and Su Wan came back, Grandma Ye raised her eyes and showed a smile that was as good as usual, "I'm back." Xiaowan, come and sit. Ye Hao, take out the candy you brought back and give it to Xiao Wan to taste. ”
"Hmm."
Ye Hao brought Su Wan to the table and prepared to go back to the room to get something.
At this time, Ye Zhiyuan, who was originally hanging his head, suddenly raised his smile and said to his wife and children who were still standing by the door: "Xiaofen, take out those things we brought and entertain them and give them to Ye Hao to taste." ”
"Okay, okay."
Yu Shufen smiled and rummaged through a small suitcase placed not far away, and after a while, she turned out a large pile of biscuits and candies, which seemed to be all brought from Hong Kong City.
"Sweet, fragrant, creamy, there are several flavors. Xiaowan, you can taste it all, and I'll let someone bring it over if you like it. ”
Yu Shufen was about to send a few bags of things to the table, when Grandma Ye swept over with a sharp eye, and her footsteps stopped suddenly.
Yes, the old lady said earlier, don't get close to the idlers.
In this way, Yu Shufen glanced at her husband helplessly, and then retreated with her things.
After a while, Ye Hao took out a few bags of candy, and there were also several flavors, all of which Su Wan usually liked.
But so many people watched, how could this sugar be eaten.
Su Wan took one in her hand and didn't move.
Seeing this, Grandma Ye said softly to the two people who were sitting: "I'm tired, I don't want to talk about those things for the time being, let's go." ”
Ye Zhiyuan subconsciously glanced at his half-sister Ye Jiao, who was sitting opposite, and his expression became cold.
Ye Jiao was also very steady, ignoring Ye Zhiyuan's eyes, stood up directly, lowered her head slightly to Grandma Ye and said, "Then I'll go back to the reception first, and I'll come to visit you tomorrow." ”
Ye Jiao left, and the man who looked like a bodyguard followed her footsteps, but the gray-haired housekeeper wiped his tears and said, "Madam, I, I want to stay and serve you." ”
Grandma Ye waved her hand, "Let's go, I don't want to be served by anyone." ”
The butler opened his mouth, wept, and walked away.
Grandma Ye looked at Ye Zhiyuan, who was sitting steadily, and she didn't look angry and arrogant.
Ye Zhiyuan also stood up, with tears in his eyes, "Mom, I want to cook for your old man." ”
Grandma Ye: "Get out." ”
Ye Zhiyuan's tears flowed down all of a sudden.
He looked at Ye Hao, "Xiao Zhen, Dad wants to say a few words to you." ”
Ye Hao didn't move, staring at the candy on the table.
The word "Dad" is too unfamiliar to him.
In this way, Father Ye had to take his wife and children and the secretary away, and when he left, he turned over the box, preparing to leave the food and nutritional products.
Grandma Ye: "Take your things and leave together, I don't want to bother throwing them." ”
"Mom!!"
As soon as Ye Zhiyuan was excited, he knelt down, kowtowed to Grandma Ye three times, cleaned up, and took people away.
Now the room was quiet.
Su Wan said: "Let's go upstairs to eat tonight and wash the dust for Ye Hao." ”
Grandma Ye nodded, seeing that it was almost time to cook, she really didn't want to move.
Su Wan tasted the candy that Ye Hao brought back, chatted a few words, made a comment, and said that she wanted to go up and talk to the family.
Grandma Ye asked Ye Hao to follow to help, and then come down and call her when she was eating.
Ye Hao nodded, glanced at her grandmother with some concern, and followed Su Wan out.
The two juniors left, and Grandma Ye rubbed her beating head and went back to her room.
This room is a little larger than Ye Hao's room next door, in addition to the desk and wardrobe, there is also a special basin shelf at the head of the bed.
The shelves are obviously the old objects of the Ye family before, after all, everyone now washes and goes to the water room or a special bathroom, even if the water is brought to the room, it is not so particular, just get a small stool, it is impossible to put these things in a special place, it takes up too much space.
Grandma Ye didn't have many things to bring when she moved out of Ye's house back then, and this shelf was what she used to carry things at that time, and the quilts were sandwiched in it, so that they wouldn't be scattered everywhere.
At that time, the supervisor just looked at the wooden shelf as ordinary, except for a little antique carving at the ends, there was nothing special, so he acquiesced to her taking this thing out.
Later, when she came here, Grandma Ye kept putting the shelf at the head of her bed, and occasionally put a footbath or something.
In the past ten years, after several rounds of inspections, the shelves have been sitting here safe and sound, failing to attract anyone's attention.
But who would have thought that when Grandma Ye left home, what she wanted to take away the most was this wooden shelf.
It's been eighteen years, and it's been eighteen years since Old Lady Ye handed over this shelf to her.
She still remembers the mechanism of the shelf very clearly, holding the horizontal axis on the top of the towel, grasping the bracket on the left hand side, twisting it nine times to the right, then changing hands, grabbing the bracket on the right hand side, twisting it seven times to the left, and finally pressing the left side of the horizontal axis to take out the inner axis hidden in the middle.
The inner shaft is made of diamond wood, with a hollow cut out and a hole two fingers wide.
Grandma Ye brought the wooden shaft to the table and shook it gently, and something fell out.
