Chapter 18: Grandma: Where Are You Going?
In the suburbs at 1 a.m., the night is dark, and the streets are empty, and there is no one.
A young man and woman, holding hands, walking on the road, are as intimate as a couple, enjoying a world that only belongs to two people.
"So, you don't have a phone, you don't have a computer, and you don't go online on weekends, right? No wonder they don't reply to my messages. After asking the reason, Lu Cheng suddenly realized.
In his previous life, he saw a lot of green tea that carried a shelf, didn't reply to messages at every turn, or dragged on for hours or even days to reply to messages, and he almost thought that Yu Sisi was also this type.
When I asked just now, I found out that this little girl is insulated from the network at all, and there is no Internet access at home, let alone any mobile phones and the like.
Even this QQ number was registered for her by her cousin who went to college, and she couldn't get online a few times a year.
"It's here!"
Yu Sisi stopped, pointed to an old house opposite, and said, "This is my home, to be precise, my grandmother's house!" ”
Gray walls and black tiles, wooden frame.
After decades of wind and rain, the exterior wall is old, revealing the yellow mud inside.
This is an old house from the last century, even if it is hundreds of years old, it is no exaggeration.
Those old wooden doors and windows, round wooden beams and columns, just seen from a distance, as if you heard the creaking sound of stepping on the floor.
At this moment, Lu Cheng was silent.
After Yu Sisi died in his previous life, about two or three years later, his grandmother also died.
Only this old house remains, which is becoming more and more dilapidated, and was once used as a haunted house by the surrounding elementary school students to play adventure games.
Several times, Lu Cheng wanted to go in and have a look, to see the place where the girl who used to be at the school gate, holding her hand and confessing inexplicably, grew up since she was a child.
Maybe it's timidity, maybe it's guilt.
Every time he passed by this old house, he just stopped at the door, stayed for about ten seconds, and left.
Later, the house was gone, replaced by a newly built three-story brick house.
There was a brand-new domestic car parked in front of the door, and the family of three was happy.
"Why don't you speak? Be...... Is it because my family is so poor that it scares you? ”
Yu Sisi's weak tone revealed obvious inferiority.
The evening breeze ruffled the long hair, revealing a blushing face.
"I want to go in and have a look!" Lu Cheng said seriously.
Suddenly, for no reason, Lu Cheng wanted to walk in and see the environment in which she lived.
Which table to eat, which chair to sit on, and which bed to sleep in.
"Are you sure?" Yu Sisi was a little surprised.
After all, the conditions of their own home are present, and few classmates are willing to come in.
Since she was a child, every time a classmate wants to come to play at home, she will try her best to refuse. So much so that many times, she is reluctant to make friends.
"yes, sure!"
Lu Cheng nodded.
"Shhhh
Yu Sisi made a shushing motion, walked slowly, and opened the door cautiously.
No matter how careful and slow the old wooden door was, it still made a little creaking sound, which frightened her little heart to pound.
Smack!
There was a soft thud.
In the dark room, the dim light suddenly lit up.
The kind old man, holding the switch wire with one hand, looked at the two calmly.
"Grandma!"
Yu Sisi's heart was cold.
Holding Lu Cheng's little hand, he trembled obviously.
She didn't expect that her grandmother would wake up at one o'clock in the morning and just hit the ground.
"Come in and sit!"
The old man beckoned and pulled out his chair to himself.
"Hello grandma!"
Lu Cheng was calm, and just nodded.
After all, his eighteen-year-old body contained a thirty-three-year-old soul, long past the age of fear and fear of adults.
"You're right!"
The old man picked up the old-fashioned black pottery teapot and poured him a bowl of water.
Sitting on a bamboo chair by himself, he quietly looked at the young man who sneaked in with his granddaughter.
"Grandma, it's not like that, it's, it's him...... It's his homework, and I'll help him get his homework! ”
Yu Sisi was probably the only one in the room who panicked.
The whole person has no master, and he is incoherent, and he doesn't know what to say, so he makes excuses to explain.
"Alright, sit down! Grandma didn't blame you for anything? The old man glanced at her, and his tone was helpless, with a bit of pampering.
"Oh!"
Yu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, and also pulled a small bench and sat down.
The three of them sat quietly around a small square table.
"Where are we?"
It was my grandmother who spoke first.
She didn't beat or scold, but she asked the key in one sentence.
"Huh?"
"Grandma, what are you, you, what are you talking about? My ...... Me and him, no, nothing, just classmates...... It's just classmates! ”
Yu Sisi panicked.
She was really panicked this time.
No matter how enchanting and tempting he is in front of Lu Cheng in private, and how vicious and threatening he is.
But when she really got to her grandmother, in front of this old man who brought herself up with one hand, she was panicked, her face was flushed, her hands were gesturing wildly, desperately trying to explain.
"We're not there yet!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent her back."
Lu Cheng smiled indifferently.
Grandma was obviously much more enlightened and kind than he had imagined.
"That's just as well!"
Grandma nodded, looked at Lu Cheng's eyes, and had a little more approval.
"You're Lu Cheng, right? He looks really handsome! ”
"This one isn't cheap! I can see that your family conditions are good, so it's no wonder Sisi likes you. ”
"Alas, it's a pity she doesn't understand! A poor family like us, with that sour smell of poverty on our bodies, can be smelled from afar, how can we be with your rich young master. ”
Grandma sighed, and her weathered tone seemed to remind her of the old story.
"Grandma, what do you say?"
Yu Sisi's eyes moistened, trying to stop her from saying more.
"It's a new era, it's the 21st century, and there aren't so many rules of the old society. Besides, my family is a small family, my parents and I add me, just a family of three, nothing else. ”
Lu Cheng heard the worry in the old man's heart.
An old man like this who came from the old times understands the so-called rules the most.
A poor man is a poor man, and a rich man is a rich man!
I should wear this kind of clothes, eat this kind of food, and live in this kind of house.
Don't complain, don't struggle, just live in peace until you die.
"How can it be so simple, marriage is a matter of two families, not the two of you. Besides......"
Grandma stopped.
She waved her hand and smiled awkwardly, "It's early, it's early." Alas, when I am old, I can't work, and I think more and more about it all day long. ”
"You guys, if you want to fall in love, you can talk about it, I don't object, just pay attention to safety."
After speaking, my grandmother wore old cloth shoes and stepped on the old wooden staircase and went up to the second floor.
Lu Cheng and Yu Sisi were left behind, silent for a while in the dim light.
"Grandma, this is ...... Agreed? ”
Yu Sisi was a little incredulous.
When she was first discovered, she was ready to be beaten.
But now, that's too simple, right?
didn't beat or scold, didn't even say a few words, it was so simple and easy to pass.
"It should be!"
Lu Cheng smiled and was noncommittal.
The old man didn't agree, he just couldn't control it.
Moreover, there is a sense of recognition of this young man, no matter how bad he is, he is not much worse.
