Chapter 39 (Does my wife miss me?)
Following Xiaobao to the downstairs, he saw the old woman with a solemn face. Looking for it again, she didn't see the figure. A little curious.
Xiaobao, who was walking in front of Ziyuan, turned around and saw Ziyuan looking around, with a faint smile: "Sister, are you looking at Uncle Chen?"
"Ah, no... No, it's just my stomach. I want to see what to eat!" Just talk about a reason to prevaricate him. He withdrew Zhang Wang's eyes and stared at Xiaobao's little head, who had already turned his back to her.
Xiaobao did not expose her out-of-tune lie, as if to say, "Uncle Chen went out early in the morning, and he hasn't had breakfast yet. He said that there was something wrong and told you to wait for him at home obediently. Sister, do you understand? Xiaobao looked up at Ziyuan again.
What? Wait for him obediently, is there any mistake! He was so sure that he would ask for his news and wait for him obediently. If he didn't come back, she could just leave.
"I see. Let's go for breakfast!" Holding Xiaobao's head, he turned back to the right direction, took Xiaobao's hand and went downstairs.
Xiaobao looked up again and opened his eyes wide: "Sister, are you sleepy? What kind of breakfast? Now this meal is lunch!"
"Lunch? Then why didn't anyone ask me to get up for breakfast? Ziyuan opened her mouth in surprise. No one called her after sleeping for so long. Well, she admits that this is not her own... Is it to talk about home? Forget it, she didn't have a home and lived where she lived, but she didn't wake her up and let her sleep for so long.
Xiaobao covered his mouth and smiled: "Uncle Chen said that you were tired last night, so we didn't call you. He said that if you haven't got up at noon, just ask you to get up for lunch.
Ziyuan, who was walking on the stairs, almost didn't slide down directly from it. One was unstable, and fortunately, she held the handrail of the stairs. Xiaobao, don't talk nonsense!"
"It's nonsense above. I didn't. It's really Uncle Chen's original words. There are no less words or more. If you don't believe it, let's ask grandma!" With that, he pulled Ziyuan's hand and shouted to the busy figure downstairs, "Grandma... Grandma, Uncle Chen...uh!" Before Xiaobao opened the main words, Ziyuan cut off Xiaobao's voice with lightning speed. Shh..." He pressed his finger on Xiaobao's mouth and surrendered, "Okay, okay, I believe, I believe, I don't need to ask grandma to confirm. Let's go and eat breakfast... Lunch!"
After walking the long stairs, Ziyuan accelerated her pace to the front of Xiaobao and blocked him for fear that he would mention the previous matter again. She said first and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry! I overslept and let you be alone for a long time!" He nodded apologetically.
"Son, you're welcome. Are you used to sleeping last night?" The old woman greeted her with a kind smile.
"Okay, that's good!" In fact, it's terrible. She almost took care of Chi Yechen all night. She was tired. Otherwise, how could she get up so late today? It seemed that Chi Yechen this morning seemed to be fine and went out, and he was not afraid that the fever would overwhelm him again. Humph!
The old woman still smiled softly, placing the bowls and chopsticks on the table: "Didn't you have a rest last night?"
"No, it's really good. Grandma, you are so careful!"
Ziyuan explained. Go forward and help with the food.
The old woman looked clear: "How can it be better to rest so late last night?" Are you tired of taking care of him all night?
Ziyuan's hand made a pause. She turned her head to look at the old woman and smiled awkwardly, "Grandma knows. I'm sorry. I must have run up and down to disturb your rest last night!" Ziyuan sincerely apologized.
The old woman shook her head and smiled faintly: "Don't blame yourself. I just couldn't sleep last night. I think that child is happy to have such a virtuous and careful wife like you. You should all cherish it. Don't sigh at life when you get old. It's not easy for two people to fall in love with each other.
"Grandma, it's not what you think. I don't have any happiness to talk about with him!" Ziyuan looked away and sat down in the chair.
The old woman sighed and continued, "That's what you said. Although I don't know what's going on between you, don't be too pessimistic. Happiness is earned by self-struggle and hard work. Being able to be happy does not depend on what anyone can give, or happiness does not come by the humility of others. It is just pity. Hey, when you are old, what you see is naturally more open than you young people. Children, don't think that everything is a dead end. Remember, there is also a desperate life!"
Ziyuan listened carefully to the old woman's words, but she couldn't agree. The happiness in this life is that she has nothing to do with her. She doesn't want to get it, and she hasn't thought about transferring any happiness to others.
"Grandma, I'm hungry. What are you talking about? Xiaobao doesn't understand why it is so different from what you usually say. I can't stand Xiaobao, who can't ignore it, jump out and improve his highlights.
The old woman smiled happily, picked up Xiaobao and tapped Xiaobao's head: "This is not for you. Of course you don't understand. You will understand when you grow up!"
Xiaobao nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked at Ziyuan, who was stunned. He jumped out of the old woman's arms, patted Ziyuan's hand, and shouted, "Sister, why are you stunned? Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat!"
"Huh? Ha ha, good!" With that, he casually lifted his chopsticks. Don't think too much, kid!" Grandma reminded me.
"Well, thank you, grandma, I know. Hehe······"
After lunch, the grandmother looked at the sunny weather outside and took out all kinds of herbs she picked to bask in the sun. Ziyuan is also helping.
"Ziyuan, the sun is too hot outside. You go in first and rest!" Looking at Ziyuan dripping with sweat, the old woman urged that although Ziyuan was a very diligent child, she also asked for help before. The classification of various medicinal materials is also very good, and the seriousness is very popular. However, I still can't bear to look at her in the dazzling sunshine.
"Grandma, it's okay. It's all done in a minute. You'd better stay in the house. I'll come in when it's done. Ziyuan wiped a handful of sweat and got up to block the dazzling sunlight and looked at the colorful room.
It's so dazzling. It's so hot.
The benefits of Ziyuan's work are quite worthy of recognition. The old woman usually spends a day sorting out the medicinal materials, and Ziyuan has been finished in nearly half a day. Of course, the old woman was very happy, and her white face was also turned red by the scorching sun.
After sorting it out, it's finally finished.
Returning to the house, he took the tea handed over by the old woman: "Come on, drink some water, child, thank you for your hard work. It's really helpful. Thank you."
Ziyuan pulled her messy hair, took a sip of water, and said indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay. Grandma, you're welcome."
In an instant, I don't know if it was because of the sun's been shining for too long and her eyes were dazzled. Ziyuan saw the old woman's face flashing the solemnity she had seen before again and said curiously, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman sighed: "I'm going out for a few days tomorrow, and I can't take my baby with me. However, the neighbor has something to do and can't help take care of Xiaobao. I'm thinking about what to do about this?"
"Is grandma going out for a long time?" Ziyuan put down the quilt in her hand and asked.
"Yes, it will take three days to come back."
Three days. I don't know how long they can stay here. Chi Yechen just came on a business trip. Maybe he will go back sometime. It's embarrassing. This matter is really not easy to solve.
"We'll take care of Xiaobao for you. Grandma said it's okay?" A dark shadow appeared outside the door, and the familiar face was not seen until the sight returned to normal.
Ziyuan and the old woman looked up at the dusty Chi Yechen.
"You're back!" Listening carefully, it is easy to hear the excited voice in her tone.
Chi Yechen picked up the water cup that Ziyuan had just put down and took a sip.
"Hey..." That's mine. Before he finished speaking, Chi Yechen bent down and blocked his lips with his fingers without hesitation, and said ambiguously, "What? Does my wife miss me?
Ziyuan looked at the old woman embarrassedly, took away his hand, lowered her voice and rosy face, gritted her teeth and said, "I miss you, grandma is still there."
After listening to this, Chi Yechen continued to approach Ziyuan's ear more ambiguously and blew, "You mean that you can..." when there is no one..."
The feeling of crispness spread all over the body from behind the ears. Ziyuan, who was still confused and still left, pushed away Chi Yechen, who was close at hand, and simply jumped out of the chair directly. Before there was time to burst the anger of the ignited fuse, this time, it was decisively and gorgeously ignored.
I don't know when Chi Yechen has been discussing with the old woman about taking care of Xiaobao.
It's too unbearable to hold back the fire, Chi Yechen! It's so irresponsible. Whoo-hoo...
The successive gasp was barely extinguishing the anger that had not yet erupted.
"That's great, young man, thank you!" The old lady laughed happily.
What? It makes the old woman so happy. Is this Chi Yechen really for all ages?
Ziyuan squintly waited for his back.
"Zi Yuanna······"
"Ah?" I didn't understand what grandma called her for. Ziyuan, whose face was twisted and wrinkled, smiled in an instant: "What's the matter, grandma?"
Grandma still smiled happily: "Look at you, are you distracted? I mean, thank you for staying and helping me take care of Xiaobao for a few days. I'm sorry to trouble you. It's just to accumulate experience for you to take care of children in the future!"
What did grandma say? Take care of the child? How is it possible?
Ziyuan had to have fun with the old woman without a smile.
