"Huh?"

"Isn't that right?"

"You still have to go to work during the day, how can you have so much time?"

Xu Wanqiu was a little embarrassed, and quickly shook her head and refused.

Lu Jiang smiled and said, "Actually, I don't mean anything else, you helped me tonight and gave me the opportunity to take care of your grandmother, which can be regarded as a return of my favor." ”

Xu Wanqiu was stunned, glanced at Lu Jiang in surprise, and thoughtfully.

"That's not going to work, so be it, I'll be able to get through it."

"You just have to work hard."

After speaking, Xu Wanqiu didn't give Lu Jiang a chance to speak, and turned her head and entered the ward.

If she was really a simple friend, Xu Wanqiu would also accept Lu Jiang's kindness, but her special status, especially Lu Jiang's still working in the system, made her very sensitive.

When dealing with the same problem, we have to think about each other's identities and avoid any possibilities.

Sometimes she also persuaded herself, don't think too much, follow her heart to make friends and have fun without scruples, but she just can't do it.

For as long as she can remember, the concept of her father being an official has been implanted in her mind, and when she was a child, she also had a very good friend who talked about everything, but in the end, the friend's mother asked her father to help with errands, and after her father refused, the man began to spread rumors that her father violated her.

At that time, this incident was very big, because the women did take out a lot of photos of their family, and their father was investigated, which almost ruined his career.

From then on, she automatically guards against anyone who comes near her, including her peers.

However, it backfired, and under her already careful investigation, she talked about a boyfriend in college, and finally came to her father.

She was very confused and doubtful of life, maybe it was good to be closed in her own small world, at least it was not so complicated.

So she likes to drink, and she needs to use the strength of wine to present another true self.

Lu Jiang didn't know Xu Wanqiu's true inner activities, and always felt that this woman felt like she was leaving, sometimes she seemed to be very close, and sometimes she was very distant.

Standing at the door of the ward and lingering for a long time, he finally left, after all, Xu Wanqiu had already rejected it very clearly.

After returning home, Lu Jiang was just about to open the door, but he thought that the old lady next door was at home, and he was a little worried.

He wandered in the hallway for a long time, focusing on the next room, making sure there was nothing unusual before going back to sleep.

After washing, Lu Jiang lay on the bed, although it was late, he did not feel sleepy.

He recalled what happened in the past two days, both at work and with Xu Wanqiu.

It wasn't until after one o'clock in the morning that he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, he woke up, cleaned up briefly, and hurried out.

However, just as he pushed the door open, he saw the door next door wide open, and an old lady stood at the door, her eyes confused, and she kept shouting into the house.

"Old man, old man, go down for a walk."

However, the room was empty, and there was no response.

Lu Jiang looked at the old lady, his nose was sore, and he could see that the old man was somewhat senile, otherwise, it would be impossible not to know that the old man was not at home at all.

"Grandma, why don't I go for a walk with you?"

Lu Jiang said with a smile, a little unbearable to see this scene, thinking that if the old lady agreed, he would ask for leave.

The old lady glanced back at her, and then said, "I don't buy health products, let's go, my old man has a bad temper, let him see it, he will beat you." ”

This kind of nonsensical remark made Lu Jiang a little stunned for a while, but he still explained with a smile: "Grandma, I don't sell health products, I'm your neighbor." ”

"Neighbors can't do it, I really don't buy health products, you can go quickly."

As she spoke, the old lady pushed Lu Jiang and drove him away.

Lu Jiang was also speechless, but it was not good to insist anymore, for fear of upsetting the old lady.

After going downstairs, Lu Jiang thought about it and called Xu Wanqiu.

"Hey ......"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Wanqiu's slightly tired voice came.

"Tired last night, didn't you?" Lu Jiang asked with a smile.

Xu Wanqiu's head was dizzy, but when she heard this voice, she quickly glanced at the caller ID, and then replied.

"It's okay, is it okay to call so early?"

Lu Jiang smiled and said, "When I went out, I saw your grandmother, and she was shouting at the house to call your grandfather to go for a walk together." ”

"Huh?"

"It's all my fault, I overslept, I'll go back."

"My grandmother has Alzheimer's, sometimes sober, sometimes confused."

"Uncle, can you please help me look at the old lady first, I'll rush back."

Xu Wanqiu's voice was very urgent, as if she was in a hurry.

"No problem, don't worry, I'm here."

"Thanks, but I'm sorry you're late."

Listening to Xu Wanqiu's words, Lu Jiang could feel that she was also very entangled at the moment, so he smiled and said with relief: "Don't say so much, it's just a convenient thing." ”

After agreeing to Xu Wanqiu, Lu Jiang quickly returned upstairs, but saw that the old lady had been sitting on the steps of the corridor without knowing when.

"You old thing, don't you think I secretly called my granddaughter to ask her to come back, as for being angry with me all the time?"

"Besides, aren't you very happy that your granddaughter is back."

"If you don't come out again, I'll go down for a walk by myself."

Hearing these words, Lu Jiang felt very heavy, and suddenly realized that the elderly were actually very lonely.

He thought of his parents in the country, and his eyes were wet, perhaps they were also looking forward to coming home.

"Grandma, if you go down for a walk, I'll accompany you, if you want to go home, I'll send you, don't sit on the ground, it's very ...... cold"

Lu Jiang said with a smile, his tone was as soft as possible, like coaxing a child.

The old lady raised her head suddenly, and when she saw Lu Jiang, she waved her hand and said, "What's the matter with you kid, I really don't buy health products, I bought 20,000 yuan last time, and my old man has been angry with me for a long time." ”

Only then did Lu Jiang realize why the old lady kept calling him to sell health care products, and he had been in such a position before.

This made Lu Jiang a little crying and laughing.

"Grandma, I'm really not selling health supplements."

"Well, you must be hungry too, how about we go have some breakfast?"

Lu Jiang continued to coax patiently.

Hearing the breakfast, the old lady's expression changed significantly, and then she patted her leg violently and said, "Oops, I almost forgot, the old man said that I should hurry up and buy some fresh soy milk today." ”

"I have to hurry up, or it's too late."

So saying, the old lady got up slowly, then grabbed the crutches leaning against the wall, and hurried downstairs, without even closing the door behind her.
