Watching the mother and son enter the gate of the complex, Zong Jing started the car and left. After wandering aimlessly on the street for a while, he finally found a convenience store and went in to buy a pack of cigarettes. He stood in the air vent and smoked three in a row.

When he sat back in the car, his nose was red and his fingers were frozen. He took the mobile phone and dialed a number. He waited patiently for the tenth ring before picking up the receiver. The old lady’s voice was still soft, “Who is it? ?”

The corners of Zong Jing's tensed mouth couldn't help but relax, and there was a little smile in his voice, "Grandma, it's me."

The old lady also laughed, "Xiao Jing, I think you should call."

Most of the notions of a person come from relatives and friends around him. Zong Jing's parents don't accept him, and the relatives around him don't like him because he has been standing downstairs for a day and two nights.

The cousins ​​of the same age in the mobile phone were also ordered not to contact by the parents, and the parents were afraid that they would spoil their children.

Only grandma treats him as usual, she is always worried about how you will take care of yourself when you are old, living alone and lonely?

In these years, when Zong Jing was tired and lonely, he relied on two things to survive, the old lady's exhortation and concern, and sneaking a few glances at Liu Yutang.

Probably because the old lady has experienced the flames of war, the young man lost his husband and raised a few children alone, so he is more open-minded.

Zong Jing still remembers his grandmother's distressed eyes when he entered the door with a lump all over his head dripping with blood, and what she said when he was confused.

"There is nothing important in life except death. During the war, women died a lot, and there were many men who couldn't find a wife. If you don't do bad things, you will still be my good grandson." , the grandson can no longer marry a daughter-in-law.

"I happen to be working in Q City for a while. I will not only make a phone call today, but I will also visit you later. Is there anyone at home?"

Grandma smiled heartily, "My good grandson only sees this a few times a year, and someone will become someone else."

"That's fine, I'll be there in an hour." Zong Jing hung up the phone and went to the largest supermarket in Q City.

First go to the imported nutrition food section to buy supplements such as vitamins, calcium tablets, and propolis for grandma, and then choose milk powder for the elderly to drink, then carry five or six boxes of imported fruits, and take two gift boxes of nuts, which are for my aunt’s family Yes, finally take two thick stacks of money and put it in a red envelope.

The first two years in college, he didn't have much income, and when he went back to visit his grandma, he would always get slapped in the face.

After earning money later, things will be much easier.With him going back twice a year, the old lady didn't need to pay for her daily expenses, nutritional supplements and supplements, so the two families acquiesced in his existence.

However, usually before he enters the house, the three members of the uncle's family who live with grandma will leave with various excuses, leaving grandma alone at home.

My grandma is open-minded, but she can't control her children's thoughts. The only thing she can do is, don't speak ill of my grandson in front of me. How much will be handed over.

Xiaocheng's wages stopped when they were blocked by such words.

Zong Jing doesn't mind spending money on cleanliness. Money is not everything, but it can solve problems to a large extent.

The familiar neighborhood was still the same, and Zong Jing's car drove past, attracting the attention of several passers-by in the neighborhood.

He first carried two bags and went up to knock on the door. Grandma was getting older and her legs were slow, so she waited for a while before the door opened. When she saw him, she frowned, "Why did you lose weight again?"

Zong Jing couldn't help laughing, "Every time you say that I'm thinner than last time. After all these years, I haven't gotten fatter once. Isn't it a success?"

"I said that if you are thin, you are thin. Why do you take things again? I bought a lot last time." Grandma's feet were half-wrapped before she let go when she was a child. Silly boy, if you are so skinny, why don't you take out the spirit head that you fed me and feed it to yourself?"

Zong Jing put down the bag in his hand, "You're really not skinny, grandma, how about I take you to the big scale of the raw butcher shop at the gate of the community to check the quantity."

Grandma slapped him on the back, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's called a pig!"

Zong Jing didn't hide either, and was happily patted twice by her, "There's still under there, don't close the door, I'll move it up."

He went downstairs three times to bring up the fruit gift boxes, and the old lady at the opposite door was already standing at the door chatting with his grandma, "Tsk tsk, your grandson is trying to win, look at your carefulness, this is a cherries, right? It weighs eight or ninety-one catties."

Seeing him coming up, grandma hurriedly pushed him in, and casually dealt with the door, "The child has to go on the road at night, I'll make something delicious, let's talk another day."

After closing the door, he complained to Zong Jing, "The old lady Feng at the opposite door is annoying. Let me tell you, she must have been looking out of the cat's eye since you knocked on the door."

Zong Jing felt peaceful when he stayed by her side, and gave the old lady a big hug, "Let's ignore her and make her jealous. If she shows off in the future, you can call me, and I will definitely compare her to you." Not bad."

Grandma was suddenly happy, "Smelly boy, what are you talking about? Your grandma is like an annoying old lady who likes to compare."

Speaking of which, she was still in a very happy mood, eager to get Zong Jing something to eat.

Zong Jing accompanies her into the kitchen to help, and she cooks well. On the one hand, grandma is pleased that he can take care of her, but on the other hand feels sorry that he has no one to take care of him, which is contradictory.

After dinner, Zong Jing helped sort the fruits and moved them to the balcony. He took out the envelope from his coat pocket and gave it to the old man, "Grandma, I may not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year. I will honor your red envelope in advance this year."

Grandma patted him as soon as he felt the thickness, "I am happy for you to honor me, and I am very happy, but why do you want so much, and I haven't spent all the previous ones." The old lady took out a small leather wallet from her close pocket, pulled out A card, very proud, "Your grandma used to only use passbooks, but now she has learned to use bank cards. I store everything you gave me before, and the girl at the counter checked it for me, and there are more than [-] left." Then he lowered his voice, "Remember the password for me. It's your birthday in the lunar calendar. Next time I go to the bank, I'll ask you if I forget it."

Zong Jing was amused by the old lady's expression like a child offering a treasure. He put his arms around her shoulders and smiled for a while. He took the card to look at it, memorized the bank and card number, and returned it, "Take it, and deposit it this time too. , not afraid of losing it."

After the grandma offered the treasure, she remembered the thickness of the red envelope again, "I mean, so you take this back, I still have a lot."

"You should save it for me." Zong Jing helped her put the small wallet back and coaxed her, "Look, no one cares about me. In case I spend money randomly, you save it for me. If you need it Take your time, if I need it, I will ask you for it."

Grandma thinks it makes sense, "That's right, you have a good plan for shopping. Look at the fruits you buy. How much can I eat? Your uncle and the others can't earn it by themselves? I still have a pension, and I will save it for you." "Hey," she looked at Zongjing's expression, and sighed, "I'm so old, how many more years can I take care of for you?"

Zong Jing didn't dare to answer these words, and made this old man with all white hair still worry about himself, feeling very guilty, but there was no other way.

Even after all these years, grandma still doesn't understand homosexuality. In her long life experience, there is a similar adjective called "erkiaozi", which is particularly annoying when it is said that men are neither male nor female.

But the old lady felt that Guaisun was not such a person, so how could she scold him?She was reluctant to part with a child who had been obedient since she was a child.

When Zong Jing said she would not marry a wife, she had a little expectation in her heart. The boy was uncertain, and it might be fine when he was a few years old, but it would be bad to force him.

Zong Jing knew her thoughts, and he knew even more that the old man's understanding was actually doting on his grandchildren. Even if he killed and set fire to himself, the old lady would first think, did the other party bully you first?

Even because of these unprincipled doting, he still has to behave himself.

Accompanying grandma to look at the old photos again, it was getting late, Zong Jing got up and left, uncle and aunt avoided, and always came back for dinner, both parties were uncomfortable, grandma was in a dilemma, it would be better not to see each other.

Fine snow particles floated in the sky again, Zong Jing didn't drive overnight, but went back to Jinxiu Avenue and found a hotel to stay.

********

At the same time, Liu Yutang learned how to cook with Tang Lu at home using the sausage that Bai Xianyun sent.

Holding the hot water bottle, Tang Lu instructed him how to steam a piece first, and how to cut the shredded peppers into different widths. As she talked, she walked around, "Xianyun is such a good girl, you two have been playing together since high school, right? In a blink of an eye, Xiao Shi She is old, beautiful, dignified, and sensible, I don’t like it very much, alas, I should have another girl back then.”

Liu Yutang didn't answer as if he had a tape on his mouth, as long as he mentioned an introduction, his mother would have to say, such a good girl, will you marry me back as my daughter-in-law?

The last time when Xiang Feixing sent money, Tang Lu interrogated him for three hours.

But he misjudged the perseverance of middle-aged women. Even if no one answered, Tang Lu could still talk to herself for a long time, "Look, she is pretty, has a high degree of education, can cook, chats with me patiently, She is taking care of her family's affairs now, right? How difficult is it? These days, little girls are very delicate. In the past, the little administrative girl in our company's office couldn't even make tea well. "

Liu Yutang was about to collapse, so he could only use his trump card, "He has a boyfriend, a college classmate."

Tang Lu sighed for a long time, "Oh, you idiot, Feixing also has a boyfriend, and Xianyun also has a boyfriend. You guys hang out every weekend when you were in high school, but in the end you didn't catch up with any of them. Mom gave it to you for nothing." Such a pretty face."

"Mom, isn't it inappropriate for us to praise ourselves like this?" Liu Yutang turned around and silently rolled his eyes.
