first love again

Chapter 40

Grandma's mental state is very bad, and she has been crying all day for the past two days, and she can't eat at all.

Grandma gave birth to two daughters when she was young, one died, and the other was also a daughter. At that time, sons were generally favored over girls. After she was born, she was soaked in a jar and drowned. At the age of 45, Grandma finally had a son.

Her son was married before, but he got divorced within two years, and he has no children. Grandma still hoped that he would start a family and start a business after he was released from prison, but she didn't expect a white-haired man to give a black-haired man.

Xu Miao boiled soup and came to the hospital, filled a bowl and sat on the bedside to feed her, but Grandma turned her head away and murmured blankly: "At that time, the ceiling collapsed, so she said something was going to happen..."

Seeing that Grandma was getting older, Xu Miao's throat was dry and he didn't know what to say, so he blew the soup a little colder and said in a hoarse voice, "Drink some—"

After spending nearly an hour, I finally persuaded my grandma to drink a few sips of soup.

Xu Miao asked her to lie down and rest, and helped her tuck up the corners of the quilt. He slowly left the hospital with the insulated box.

Jiang Yifan was waiting for him in the car, Xu Miao opened the car door and smiled at him: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No." Jiang Yifan looked sideways, but his voice was still hoarse: "Is grandma okay?"

Xu Miao fastened her seat belt and said, "It's still the same. I drank two mouthfuls of soup when I couldn't eat. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Hey, I can't spend it in the hospital."

"She has a knot in her heart, and it will take a certain amount of time." Jiang Yifan held the steering wheel and slowly drove away from the parking lot. "We can go to the hospital to accompany her in the evening of the Lantern Festival."

Xu Miao thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

When it came to the Lantern Festival, Xu Miao invited Tan Yao, Chen Junshuai, Ye Na and Zhao Mingming to come to their home for the festival. However, Zhao Mingming and Tan Yao had appointments, and only Chen Shao and Ye Ge came.

Jiang Yifan's voice is still not good enough to eat spicy food, so Xu Miao made mandarin duck hot pot, and it was very lively when everyone sat together to eat hot pot.

Jiang Yifan was sitting directly opposite Chen Junshuai. The last time Xu Miao begged so much, he didn't show his face to Jiang Yifan anymore, and he would chat with him during meals.

While eating hot pot, Xu Miao suddenly realized that Ye Na had barely spoken since entering the door. He raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with you? Why didn't I see you talking?"

After the words fell, the eyes of several people followed, Ye Na caught Jiang Yifan's gaze out of the corner of her eye, her face suddenly became a little unnatural, she coughed lightly, "I'm eating, what are you talking about."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Noticing Ye Na's eyes, Xu Miao keenly felt a little strange. He looked sideways at Jiang Yifan and frowned unconsciously.

In high school, Jiang Yifan and Ye Na also knew each other. Although they were not familiar with each other, they would still greet each other when they met.Because Ye Na was studying in a junior college in the city after the college entrance examination, the three of them would occasionally get together for a while when they had time.

But now when they meet again, Ye Na and Jiang Yifan haven't said a word.

It's so weird.

Xu Miao felt puzzled, and when they returned, he asked Jiang Yifan directly, "What's the matter with you and Brother Ye?"

Jiang Yifan was clearing the dining table, he paused when he heard the sound, and said blankly, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"No. It's a bit strange to see that you don't talk." Xu Miao took the bowl and chopsticks, pretending to be casual: "If I didn't know Ye Ge's orientation, I might think that I like you again."

Jiang Yifan frowned, and his voice sank: "Don't think about it."

"I'm not thinking about it." Xu Miao finished speaking, noticed his expression, and paused: "Why are you so nervous?"

Jiang Yifan didn't want to continue this topic with him, lowered his eyes, and said in a perfunctory tone: "No."

Xu Miao was in no mood to tidy up, and looked straight at him, "What secret do you guys have?"

"No." Jiang Yifan said.

Xu Miao's voice became louder, she gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Yifan, don't take me for a fool."

Jiang Yifan raised his eyelids, sighed faintly, and comforted him: "I didn't take you for a fool, Ye Na and I have no secrets, you think too much."

"I said I didn't think too much!" Xu Miao roared violently. He was most annoyed to hear people say that he thought too much, and he was very, very disgusted with this sentence before.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Yifan was also silent, seeing Xu Miao angry, he didn't know what to do.

That roar completely disappeared in the air, but it weighed heavily on my heart, making it hard to breathe.

Xu Miao didn't look at Jiang Yifan, took out a tissue to wipe her hands, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to the hospital."

Jiang Yifan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll see you off."

"Need not."

Xu Miao wrapped her coat tightly and walked alone in the cold wind.

The sky is dark, the moon is very round, and there are no stars.

There are groups of children on the road, each holding a variety of lanterns, very lively.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Xu Miao's heart sank slightly.

He regretted it, today is the Lantern Festival, how could he quarrel with Jiang Yifan.

But he was in a hurry to go out, he didn't bring his mobile phone, he only had a wallet in his pocket, he stood on the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and when he got to the hospital, he borrowed his grandmother's mobile phone to call Jiang Yifan.

The lights were not turned on in the ward, and Grandma was sitting on the bed resting, the silver moonlight tilted through the window, casting a beam of quiet light on the ground.

Xu Miao thought that Grandma was asleep, but by the moonlight she saw her sitting on the hospital bed. He quickly turned on the light, walked into the room, and smiled: "Grandma."

Grandma turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with endless vicissitudes: "Miaomiao, you are here..."

"Today is the Lantern Festival, I will definitely come to accompany you." Xu Miao sat by the bed and said with a smile, "Are you feeling better? When I came here just now, I saw a lot of lanterns on the road, and it was very lively. "

Xu Miao didn't mention those children, because she was afraid that her grandma would be in a bad mood if she heard about it.

Grandma seemed not to hear, and after a long time, she asked slowly, "Where's Yifan? Are you not together?"

Xu Miao paused, and forced a smile, "He didn't come when he had something to do."

"By the way, grandma, can you borrow my phone?" Xu Miao said, "I was in a hurry and forgot to take my phone."

Granny turned over with difficulty and gave him the phone.

Grandma's mobile phone is key-pressed, and every time a number is pressed, it will make a mechanical sound. Standing at the end of the hospital corridor, Xu Miao quickly pressed eleven numbers, dialed the number, and waited quietly for the connection.

I don't know how long it took before Jiang Yifan answered the phone, and Xu Miao said softly, "It's me, Xu Miao."

Jiang Yifan: "Yes."

Not long after the quarrel, even on the phone, the atmosphere still seemed weird and awkward.

Xu Miao gritted her teeth and took the initiative to admit her mistake: "Just now... I was too impulsive, I'm sorry—"

Jiang Yifan was silent for a while, and said in an unclear tone: "I also made mistakes, and I want to apologize to you."

Xu Miao: "Huh?"

"I shouldn't say you think too much." Jiang Yifan said, "I'm sorry."

Hearing Jiang Yifan's words, Xu Miao felt his heart swell from the warm water. He lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, it's over."

Jiang Yifan said "Yes", and his tone softened a lot, "Hang up first, I'm driving."

Xu Miao was stunned, "Where are you driving?"

Jiang Yifan: "Hospital."

Xu Miao ended the call and returned the phone to her grandmother. When she entered the ward, she saw that her grandmother was asleep.

He turned off the light, put the mobile phone beside him lightly, and helped Grandma cover the quilt under the moonlight before slowly walking out of the ward.

Jiang Yifan arrived and waited for him at the hospital gate, holding a lantern in his hand, which was extraordinarily dazzling in the dark.

Attracted by the lanterns, Xu Miao immediately reconciled without quarreling, and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

Jiang Yifan handed it to him, and wrote lightly: "I saw other children have them on the road, so I went to buy one."

Xu Miao looked at him and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

He pressed the switch, the lanterns flashed red, and the music wafted out.

Xu Miao was taken aback, and laughed unconsciously, "It scared me."

Jiang Yifan also showed a bit of a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" Xu Miao held up the lantern and turned her head to ask, "Is it too childish? We are all grown up, and we still play with lanterns like children."

Jiang Yifan said: "No, they will think we bought it for their children."

Xu Miao burst out laughing and scolded, "What the hell?"

When the two returned home, the lantern was placed on the shelf.

The Internet cafe will open tomorrow, and Jiang Yifan will also start working. Both of them went to bed early at night. They were too tired this day, so they fell asleep soon.

The next day, Jiang Yifan dropped him off to the Internet cafe.

The Internet cafe was cleaned two days ago, and the equipment and network cables were checked. Xu Miao has not been at work for a long time. Although school has just started and only a few people come online, Xu Miao still stays in the Internet cafe for a day. Waiting for Jiang Yifan to come, we will go to the supermarket together Buy vegetables for dinner.

It was a dull day, but it was fine.

Grandma was discharged from the hospital within two days after the Lantern Festival. She held on to hold her son's funeral. Not many people came to the funeral parlor. Xu Miao stayed with her all the time. Seeing her crying hoarsely and unable to stand up at all, she was so distressed. no.

At the end of the day, Xu Miao felt very tired. He sent his grandma home. Because he was worried that grandma was not in good spirits, he slept on the sofa in the living room at night, washed up briefly, and sent Jiang Yifan a message on the sofa, telling him that Not tonight.

Jiang Yifan quickly responded to the message and chatted with him along this topic.

The two chatted until midnight, when Xu Miao finally became sleepy, put the phone aside, and fell asleep like that.He is not particular at all, and can fall asleep anywhere. When he was working in a cake shop, he lay directly on the kitchen floor because of overtime work. He just slept like this for one night. The next day, he continued to work as if nothing had happened. No back pain.

Xu Miao is very adaptable and willing to work hard. When he was working in the past, in order to pay off his father's gambling debts, he worked two or three jobs a day.

He is like a small ant, swept by the flow of fate, but possesses tenacious vitality and strives to resist all misfortunes.
