Chapter 64: Gifts
Jiang Sui frowned: "Why?" ”
Obviously, I hadn't heard him mention that he had plans to go to Jingbei before.
Si Nian was silent for a while, but still told her the truth.
"I want to go and see Uncle Jiang, I heard that he was hospitalized a few years ago, and he was only discharged yesterday."
Jiang Sui paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and even lowered his voice.
"But I don't want to see him."
Si Nian knew that it would be a very difficult process to persuade Jiang Sui to go to Jingbei, but he still wanted to try.
After all, it was her only blood relative in the world, and he didn't want her to regret it in the future.
Si Nian clasped his hands on Jiang Sui's shoulders and forced her to face him.
"Suisui, just like you told me before, after all, you are Uncle Jiang's only daughter, and you are each other's only relatives."
"No, he has Gu Wan, and there is no shortage of my relatives, and I ......"
Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian and didn't say any more.
Si Nian knew what she meant, and he continued to comfort her: "But neither I nor Aunt Gu can replace each other, and you haven't touched Aunt Gu, why do you think she is not good preconceived?" You should go and meet her, and maybe the misunderstanding will be solved. ”
Hearing Si Nian's words, Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian in disbelief and asked, "You call her Aunt Gu?" ”
He used to call her mother Aunt Sui, and now he calls that woman Aunt Gu, except for a surname, there seems to be no difference.
How could he put them on an equal footing?
Jiang Sui couldn't accept it, it was as if she had been betrayed by someone she trusted deeply, and she was inexplicably a little out of breath.
She indifferently removed Si Nian's hand from her shoulder, and went back to the house without saying a word to close the door.
Si Nian didn't expect a casual title, and stepped on her minefield.
He stood in front of her door for a moment, somewhat annoyed, and then went into the kitchen to cook breakfast.
Then throughout the day, he called her out for breakfast, and she ignored him, as did lunch and dinner.
Seeing that Jiang Sui hadn't come out of the room all day and hadn't eaten, Si Nian was really a little anxious.
He was pacing up and down in the living room, thinking about how to get her out for a bite to eat, when he heard a knock on the door to her room.
Then Jiang Sui walked out with a somewhat wooden expression.
He immediately approached her, but he didn't dare to speak first, so he kept staring at her.
She suddenly looked up and asked him, "Is there anything to eat?" I am hungry! ”
Hearing this, Si Nian immediately went to give Jiang Sui a hot meal.
At the dinner table, Jiang Sui took small bites, and Si Nian sat opposite her and looked at her quietly, and the two didn't say a word the whole time.
Until Jiang Sui finished eating the last grain of rice and put the bowl on the table.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "I'll go to Jingbei with you tomorrow." ”
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two took the high-speed train to Jingbei City early in the morning.
After getting off the high-speed rail, Si Nian bought some gifts and took Jiang Sui to take a taxi straight to Jiang Guodong's house.
Jiang Sui didn't say much along the way, just stared out the car window blankly, and Si Nian didn't know what she was thinking.
But when she arrived at Jiang Guodong's new door, Jiang Sui suddenly flinched again, she turned around with her suitcase and wanted to escape, but was quickly stopped by Si Nian.
He began to persuade her again: "I know you have mixed feelings, but you're here, so let's see you, huh?" If you feel a little uncomfortable in meeting, I'll take you away, and let's go back to Shenhai, okay? ”
Jiang Sui was silent for a while and nodded.
Si Nian went to ring the doorbell, and she hid behind Si Nian.
After a while, the door opened, and the person who came to open the door was Jiang Guodong.
"Happy New Year Uncle Jiang!"
Si Nian first bowed to Jiang Guodong, and without waiting for him to respond, he moved a position to the side.
Then Jiang Guodong saw Jiang Sui who was originally standing behind Si Nian at a glance.
There was surprise in his eyes, but more joy.
"Years old! Come, come in. ”
He immediately turned sideways to give up his position and let Si Nian and Jiang Sui into the house.
Jiang Sui raised her eyes, and when she saw Jiang Guodong, she was stunned for a moment, she felt that Lao Jiang was a little thinner than the last time they met during the summer vacation.
Jiang Sui was taken by Si Nian and walked in slowly, and as soon as he sat down on the sofa, he began to look at the environment in the room.
The living room is very warmly furnished, and the hygiene is also meticulous.
Jiang Sui knew that these should be the credit of that woman.
But no matter what, she thought, she didn't like her either.
Jiang Guodong took a drink and a bunch of delicious things and put them on the coffee table, and then chatted with Si Nian casually, Jiang Sui always sat aside and didn't say a word.
It didn't take long for the door of Jiang Guodong's house to be opened from the outside.
A middle-aged woman dressed plainly dressed but looking particularly temperamental, walked in with a large bag.
When she saw the people sitting on the couch, she was stunned for a moment, then laughed at them.
"It's the year and the year, right?"
Si Nian took the lead in getting up and nodded at her: "Yes, Aunt Gu." ”
Jiang Sui sat on the sofa at first and didn't move, but then under Si Nian's gaze, he had to stand up, but he didn't speak.
Gu Wan hurriedly smiled and asked them to sit down again, and without saying a few words, she gave up the space to them and went into the kitchen by herself.
Probably Jiang Guodong was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Sui's attitude just now, he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Sui: "Suisui, what about your good upbringing?" How could you be so rude to Aunt Gu? ”
Jiang Sui instantly raised his voice to refute him: "My upbringing and politeness are also divided into whom!" ”
"You!"
Jiang Guodong was also a little uncontrollable, but he was pulled by Si Nian.
"Uncle, you just got out of the hospital, and you are discouraged."
Si Nian appeased Jiang Guodong and gave Jiang Sui a look.
Jiang Sui didn't say anything more.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little stiff for a while.
At this time, Gu Wan suddenly ran out of the kitchen with an apron and said, "Lao Jiang, I forgot to buy salt, you go to the supermarket at the entrance of the community to buy some." ”
Jiang Sui was feeling depressed at this time, so he got up and said in a cold voice: "I'll go!" ”
Gu Wan hurriedly stopped: "Hey, Lao Jiang, you go, the child is not familiar with the road just now." ”
Jiang Guodong glanced at Jiang Sui and could only get up.
Seeing this, Si Nian also followed: "I'm with my uncle, just to talk." ”
Soon both were out the door.
There was a sudden silence in the house.
"What do you want to say to me alone? Go ahead! ”
Jiang Sui knew that Gu Wan deliberately took Jiang Guodong away and wanted to talk to her alone.
Gu Wan didn't make a sound, went back to the bedroom and took out a file bag, and sat down on the sofa.
She hesitated and spoke.
"I know you're hostile to me, but I've never wanted to destroy your family."
Gu Wan paused and said, "Even if you can't accept me, please don't treat your father like this." Now you can still see him standing in front of you, which is already a gift from fate. ”
After Gu Wan said this, she put the document bag in front of Jiang Sui, and returned to the kitchen alone.
Jiang Sui was puzzled, and after reading the contents of the document bag, the whole person was shocked.
For lunch, Gu Wan prepared a table of sumptuous meals, always entertaining Si Nian and Jiang Sui with a smile, and using chopsticks to pick up dishes for the two.
In the face of her kindness, Jiang Sui did not refuse this time, but he did not show how friendly he was.
At the dinner table, she began to smile at Jiang Guodong for the first time, but the smile was a little stiff.
Seeing that Jiang Sui's attitude suddenly changed a little, after the meal, Si Nian proposed that he would rush back to Shenhai overnight in the evening, and there was work to be done next.
After Jiang Guodong stayed for two invalid purposes, he finally looked at Jiang Sui and said with some caution: "Sui Sui, what about you?" It's not school year yet, so if you're okay, why don't you stay for a few days? ”
Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian hesitantly, and Si Nian curled his lips at her.
Gu Wan also interjected on the side: "Let's stay for a few more days, accompany Dad, we have already prepared a room for you." ”
In the end, Jiang Sui didn't speak, just nodded.
When Si Nian left in the evening, Jiang Sui and Jiang Guodong sent him to the taxi at the entrance of the community.
Before the taxi drove away, Jiang Sui leaned up to him with some reluctance and said, "I'll go back soon, wait for me." ”
Si Nian nodded, and the taxi gradually walked away.
Jiang Guodong walked up to his daughter, put his hand on her shoulder, and whispered, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
On the way back, no one spoke at first, but then Jiang Sui suddenly said something, which made Jiang Guodong stunned.
She confronted her father, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
"What?"
"Your illness!"
Jiang Guodong reacted and sighed: "Hey, Aunt Gu told you everything?" I can't die for a while, and I don't want to stress you. ”
Jiang Sui was silent again, and her throat was a little blocked at the moment.
It wasn't until today that she knew that Jiang Guodong had been sick for several years, starting before her mother was seriously ill.
And Gu Wan still chose to marry him at this time, and she had to look at this woman differently.
She has money and a career, and she takes good care of her sick father.
If he hadn't looked at her with colored glasses at first, Jiang Sui would have to admit that Gu Wan was an amazing woman.
Originally, Jiang Sui, who only wanted to stay with his father for a few days, didn't expect this stay to be a month.
During this period, she and Gu Wan got along quite happily, but she didn't have much contact with Si Nian, he has been very busy since he went back, and Jiang Sui often accompanied Jiang Guodong to and from the hospital.
It wasn't until the last time the doctor said that his condition was temporarily stable that she understood what Gu Wan was talking about, what a gift was.
Jiang Guodong's treatment came to an end for the time being, and Jiang Sui also relaxed a little and began to arrange a trip back to Shenhai.
It's just that she has to go back to school as soon as she goes back, and the project team's classes will start before the official start of school.
On the day of Shenhai, it was still Si Nian who picked her up at the airport.
After not seeing him for a month, Jiang Sui felt that Si Nian seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and even his eye sockets had become deeper.
In the car, she said a little angrily, "Did you not eat on time again?" ”
Si Nian was a little helpless and funny, her girl would actually lose her temper with him because he had lost a little weight.
He comforted her while driving: "Not in the future, or will I send you a photo of my three meals like clocking in in the future?" ”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Sui was suddenly amused by him, and she said with some satisfaction: "Okay, just do it!" ”
Si Nian brought Jiang Sui back to the store first, Xiao Hai was still busy downstairs, there were still customers waiting for him in the store, and when he saw Jiang Sui, he had to say hello.
It was close to noon, Si Nian went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, Jiang Sui wanted to help him, but he was still kicked out.
"You're just going to help more and more, go and rest for a while, good!"
After being gently driven from the kitchen by Si Nian, Jiang Sui could only sit on the sofa boredly and swipe his mobile phone.
Suddenly, I don't know what happened to Jiang Sui's lap all of a sudden, she was startled, screamed, and almost didn't hold her mobile phone steady.
