Wait till the sun rises

When everyone was seated, Xu Jiming felt someone kick him around him, he turned his head, and Chen Ruolin sat beside him, whispering, "What should I do?"

Xu Jiming also whispered back: "Why didn't you call me before you came?"

Chen Ruolin gritted her teeth and said, "I sacrificed so much just to make the second elder happy this year. How did I know I came to your house when they said they came to see friends. When I opened the door and saw you, it scared me to death, okay?"

That's right, Chen Ruolin's mother is from Longcheng City. Although she moved to City B with her husband, her relatives and friends are still in Longcheng City. It's normal to come back to visit during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Ruolin said: "Cooperate with me, or the success will fall short."

Xu Jiming smiled bitterly: "Sister, you are going to kill me."

Chen Ruolin wanted to say something, but she heard Chen's mother laughing: "Looking at the two children, they have been whispering together since they met, their relationship is really good."

Xu Jiming and Chen Ruolin laughed dryly and pinched each other under the table.

Mother Chen said again: "Han Ling, let me tell you that this is really fate. I wanted to introduce them to each other, but I didn't expect them to be together a long time ago."

Xia Yang's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and his gaze swept over, just in time to meet Xu Jiming's gaze.

Xu Jiming was stunned, at that moment he almost thought he saw the look of pain in Xia Yang's eyes, but it was only a blink of an eye, and he saw Xia Yang raised his glass to himself, with a smile on his face, and mouthed to him Said: "Congratulations." After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Xu Jiming took a sip of his wine with a wry smile, cursing inwardly, what was he thinking.You know full well that he is straight.

Over there, Han Ling said to Grandpa Xia: "Uncle Xia, this is my girlfriend who I told you about. Take a look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

It's too late to pretend to be an ostrich, Chen Ruolin reluctantly stood up, raised her wine glass and said to Grandpa Xia, "Grandpa, I'm Chen Ruolin, I respect you."

Grandpa Xia was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he kept saying: "Okay, okay." Then he said, "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly. She is a good girl, Linlin, don't worry, our family will love others."

Chen Ruolin sat down, glanced at Xu Jiming, and said with a dry smile, "Yes, I... can tell."

Grandpa Xia continued: "I think both parents are here, so why not settle the matter."

Pat, the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

Chen Ruolin smiled forcedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold it for a while, my hand slipped, I will clean it up right away."

Han Ling said: "It's okay, Auntie will change the cup for you."

Xu Jiming took advantage of Han Ling to get the cup and said, "Grandpa, there is no rush. I respect you, come and drink."

Grandpa Xia pushed the wine cup aside, waved his hand and said, "Why are you not in a hurry? I am so old, and I still want to hug my grandson quickly. Don't make me wait too long."

Xu Jiming coughed, and his eyes drifted to Xia Yang again, seeing what he was thinking with his head down.

Chen Ruolin made a rescue and said, "Grandpa, there's really no rush. Since Ming just returned to China and just started working, it's better not to distract him."

Mother Chen said with a smile: "You can settle it first, and get married when you think it's suitable."

Chen Ruolin laughed dryly: "Mom, I think it's better to think about it."

Mother Chen wanted to persuade her again, but Grandpa Xia sighed: "Okay, okay, let's listen to the two children, after all, they will live together in the future, and we adults can't force them like this, let's eat vegetables."

Father Xu made a relief and said, "Haha, yes, we're all together anyway, and it's not a matter of time before we get married. Old Chen, don't worry, don't worry."

Even if this matter passed without any danger.

Because there were so many people, Xia Yang and grandpa went back after dinner.Xu Jiming wanted to drive them off, but was rejected by Grandpa Xia. He said to accompany his girlfriend well, and Yang Yang and I chartered a car to go back. Then he talked to Xia Yang, how about we also buy a car, but on second thought Feeling uneasy, he stopped.

Xia Yang knew what grandpa was worried about. His parents died in a car accident.

When taking Xu Jiming's car, the old man was always full of energy, so he gave Xu Jiming advice, let him slow down, and slow down.

Xia Yang packed his things, chartered a private car at the station, and carpooled with the two of them, and it was already late when he got home.

Xia Yang opened the room, changed their shoes and went into the kitchen: "Grandpa, what do you want to eat?"

Grandpa Xia said: "I just came back, take a rest, aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I'm a bit greasy at lunch, how about porridge at night?"

Grandpa Xia seemed to be in good spirits, he even hummed a little tune and turned on the TV to watch the news.After eating, Xia Yang simply washed up and watched TV with his grandpa for a while, until his grandpa yawned and said he was sleepy, Xia Yang fetched water to wash his grandpa's feet.

Xia Yang didn't return to his room until his grandfather fell asleep.He urgently needs a space to be alone now. He even wants to yell and cry loudly, but he can't.Grandpa was sleeping next door, he could only be careful not to make any noise, but his heart hurt like it was about to burst.

Xia Yang has always been restrained. He has a good temper and never gets angry with others. He always keeps many things in his heart, and only Han Rui, who appears by his side when he is most uncomfortable, knows everything about him.

Xia Yang took a deep breath and glanced at the time, it was just after nine o'clock.The night is still very long, how to stay up until dawn?

Xia Yang sat there for a while, changed his clothes and bought a few bottles of liquor in a supermarket not far away.

In fact, he rarely drinks, or does not drink.Because I was drunk that year and couldn't control myself, I separated from Xu Jiming for seven years.

Since then, he has started to restrain the amount of alcohol he drinks, and he never drinks unless it is absolutely necessary.Fortunately, in his department, boys and girls like food, but not much like tobacco and alcohol.He is also happy and relaxed, and occasionally has a few drinks with his grandfather on weekdays.

When he came back, he entered Grandpa's room lightly. Seeing that the old man was sleeping soundly and still snoring slightly, he bent down, tucked the quilt for the old man, and then went back to his own room.

The curtains in the room were not drawn, and one could see the faint lights from the downstairs community.Xia Yang sat on the floor with bare feet, leaning against the bed, and opened a bottle of wine.

Probably to get himself drunk, he drank in a hurry, the wine was too strong, Xia Yang frowned fiercely and took another big gulp, he blocked his mouth with his sleeve as if he was choking, and coughed softly It came out, and it didn't fly far before it scattered.

The acrid smell of alcohol filled his mouth, and because of coughing straight into his nasal cavity, Xia Yang's face was flushed, the alcohol flowed down his throat, through his stomach, and spread to his limbs and bones, his originally cold body became hot.

Xia Yang didn't drink alcohol often, but with this way of drinking, he felt limp in limbs, dizzy in the head, and blurred when he saw things. The alcohol burned his heart, but he felt extremely refreshed.

"The head of the people said that it is even more worrying to use wine to drown your sorrows. In fact, it is not the case. If you die drunk, you will not worry anymore." What Han Rui once said came to my ears. Xia Yang held the empty wine bottle to his chest and shook it down. On the bed, curled up into a ball and fell asleep like that.

·

Grandpa Xia turned over, but heard the sound of someone crying softly. He sat up with his arms propped up, looked around, and made sure that the sound came from the next door.

Grandpa Xia put on his clothes and got out of bed, knocked on the door: "Yangyang?"

No one answered, the old man frowned and opened the door and walked in. The strong smell of alcohol wafted through his nostrils. He turned on the light and saw Xia Yang curled up in a ball, lying on the bed, not even covered by the quilt.

The soft sobbing sound came from his mouth. Xia Yang seemed to be sleeping very unsteadily. Grandpa Xia walked a few steps, bent down and put the wine bottle on the bed aside, and stretched out his hand to cover his grandson with the quilt.

But the quilt was under Xia Yang's body, and with his age and physical strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to pull out the quilt.

The old man sighed, took out another quilt from the closet and covered Xia Yang's body, and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief from the pocket of his coat.

As they got closer, the smell of wine became stronger. Grandpa Xia whispered: "Stinky boy, how much did you drink?" She closed her eyes, looked at him and whispered, "Don't go."

Grandpa Xia only thought that he saw other people's parents and happy family during the day, and thought of sad things, so he drank his sorrows with wine, then turned off the light and climbed into bed to sleep with his grandson.

As soon as he came up, Xia Yang clung to him and locked him tightly with his limbs.

Grandpa Xia stroked his hair and said, "It's okay, go to sleep, Grandpa is here with you."

Xia Yang became quiet, rubbed his cheek on the old man's hand greedily, hugged his arm tightly, and repeated Xu Jiming's name in his mouth.

Grandpa Xia smiled and said, "Siming won't appear here, he has other things to do."

Xia Yang opened his confused eyes in the darkness, and it took a long time before he said softly: "Yes, you have a girlfriend, you have to stay with her."

Grandpa Xia smiled and said, "Yes, when is Yang Yang going to have a girlfriend?"

Xia Yang let go of his grandfather's hand and curled up into a ball again.

Grandpa stroked/stroked Xia Yang's hair, and said softly: "I know you are thinking about your parents again, but that's all in the past, and it's useless to think about the past, people always have to look forward. Wait Once you marry a wife and have children, your family will be complete. At that time, Grandpa will feel at ease."

Xia Yang buried his head in the quilt, just when Grandpa Xia thought he was asleep, Xia Yang's voice came out from under the quilt: "...how can you get married."

Grandpa Xia turned around and looked at the grandson curled up in the dark with a funny look, and asked with a smile, "Then why can't you get married?"

"I like you so much." Xia Yang whispered, "How can you get married?"
