The noise outside the courtyard lasted for almost an hour. Fortunately, the houses were not close to each other, and most of the neighbors returned to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, so they did not attract onlookers.

Xu Feng and his wife suddenly got together to discuss a few words in a low voice, Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and glanced at Qin Xijue in front of the house, gave him a hard look, turned around and left.

Ruan Jing leaned on the door frame of the house, watching the car carrying Xu Feng and his wife go away, he couldn't help being dumbfounded at this act of letting go: "No, what's the situation?"

Qin Xijue was leaning against the door frame to bask in the sun, his whole body was bathed in warmth, and the sun was shining in his eyes, turning into a light-colored laziness. The cold and hard aura of half an hour ago had long since disappeared: "Old lady If she refused to leave, they simply let her stay and put pressure on me."

Ruan Jing thought that he was so shameless, he glanced at the old lady sitting quietly in the room, and touched Qin Xijue's shoe with his toe: "Teacher Qin, how do you solve this problem?"

Qin Xijue glanced at him, finally showing some helplessness in his eyes.

Ruan Jing was not the only one who felt the headache.

If the old lady left with Xu Feng and his wife, then this farce can be regarded as never happened. After all, the house has already been transferred to his name. If he doesn't let go, no one can move.The jumping up and down of Xu Feng and his wife will not threaten him, nor will they irritate him.

But the behavior of the old lady was unpredictable, and she said she would stay here, so she returned to the sofa and remained motionless.Just now he went to try to talk a few words, but the other party still didn't show any sign of speaking again, even if he didn't hear him, his eyes didn't move.

He didn't understand why the old lady suddenly spoke up after three years. Xu Feng said many times that the old lady was seriously ill, but it didn't look like a fake.

At this time, Xu Feng and his wife made it clear that they didn't care, and he couldn't invite the old man out.

Qin Xijue thought to no avail, and tiptoed Ruan Jing's back: "Let's go."

Ruan Jing thought he had figured out a solution, and hurriedly stood up: "Where are you going?"

Qin Xijue: "Eat."

Ruan Jing: "..." It's indeed time to eat, and it's thanks to Mr. Qin's strong psychological quality that he can still work and rest on time.

Ruan Jing served three bowls of rice, and it was too late to cook other dishes. He covered each bowl of hot rice with a few pieces of freshly fried fish, and directed Qin Xijue to move two small stools to the kitchen balcony, preparing to have dinner with him later. There he ate his lunch in the sun.

He took one of the bowls and walked out of the kitchen to the old lady.I thought that although the old lady ignored people, they couldn't make people hungry.

The old lady sat slightly sideways on the sofa, looking out the window quietly, leaving only an elegant neck and a slender figure, as if the air around her was also quiet.

Ruan Jing couldn't help lowering his voice: "Grandma, let's have something to eat first."

The old lady remained motionless as if she hadn't heard it.

Ruan Jing didn't care. He squatted in front of the table and picked out all the thorns from the fish, checked it several times, and put it in front of the old lady.

After finishing his work, he hurried back to the kitchen. Qin Xijue didn't start it himself, and was leaning on the kitchen door frame, looking at the living room thoughtfully.

The noon sun covered the entire balcony, and it was warm and comfortable to spread on the body, and the plants in the flower pots by the corner also stretched their branches and leaves.Although this bowl of food is simple, it does not affect its deliciousness. Ruan Jing identified the varieties of those potted plants while eating.

After a long while to no avail, he used his feet to move the trash can over to put the fishbone in, and chatted with Qin Xijue: "Old lady, what are you going to do?"

Qin Xijue was holding the fish with his chopsticks, and found that Ruan Jing had picked out tender parts with few thorns for him: "She has never been to the house before, and when I went to see her, I couldn't say a few words."

My mother is the old lady's beloved daughter, but as a scholarly family, she insisted on marrying the father of a businessman, so the old lady never gave her father a good face.Or maybe because of the mutual repulsion of his personality, every time he went to visit with his parents, the old lady was also lukewarm to him.

It's not that Qin Xijue has a prejudice against the old lady, it's just that because of these, he hasn't gotten along with the old lady very much.

Now that she is sick and unable to communicate with others, he has to be more cautious when considering the elderly.

Hearing this, Ruan Jing took time out of his busy schedule to free up his hand holding the chopsticks, lightly patted Qin Xijue's shoulder, and comforted him: "Maybe the old lady just lost her temper. Think about it, she was brought all the way by my son to do this. It's an asshole, you must be angry."

No matter what the reason is, judging by the old lady's current appearance, it is estimated that there is no answer.

Xu Feng said that the old lady hadn't spoken for three years, and now that her condition was getting worse, Qin Xijue couldn't help but glanced at the living room.

The old lady's gestures, even the back, are somewhat similar to her mother.If mother can grow old, she should look like this.

Qin Xijue is well aware of the virtues of Xu Feng and his wife. An old man has closed himself up for three years, except for pathological reasons. In the remaining days, he may not be happy living in Xu Feng's house.

Qin Xijue was silent for a moment, and patted down the grains of rice that Ruan Jing brought with his chopsticks and stuck to his clothes: "If she wants to stay, she can stay."

While eating, Ruan Jing said "Hmm", it's not surprising that Qin Xijue made such a decision.The old lady's act of driving Xu Feng and his wife away made Ruan Jing feel good about him, and he thought he might not be the same person as Xu Feng.

If he stayed, Qin Xijue would have a family who could accompany him.

Thinking of this, he was faintly worried about the old lady's condition.

Qin Xijue took a look at Ruan Jing, and suddenly said, "Just now, did I scare you?"

If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to show such a strong and cold side in front of Ruan Jing.

Ruan Jing also looked at him, knowing that he was talking about the argument in the living room, his eyes lit up, and finally had the opportunity to boast from the bottom of his heart: "Handsome and cool! Teacher Qin, teach me to swear!"

In his heart, Qin Xijue is really powerful.Xu Feng and his wife came prepared, Qin Xijue still responded in an orderly manner, taking the lead calmly, without losing strength.

He had never seen such a Qin Xijue before, but he also knew that Qin Xijue was such a person, with the strength and tenacity like armor, but also the gentleness of guarding the treasured things.

Qin Xijue was funny, remembering the first time he finished playing basketball, this person also asked for the same.

It seems that in this person's eyes, no matter what aspect of himself, he is very novel and likes it.

Ruan Jing thought of something and hesitated for a while: "Don't worry about what the old lady said... Uncle Qin is very good."

Qin Xijue was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Ruan Jing was talking about the old lady's phrase "You are very much like your father".

Qin Xijue nodded slightly: "Yes, so I don't mind being judged like that."

Once it was confirmed that the old lady would stay at home, Qin Xijue had some things to do, but luckily Ruan Jing was always helping.

The two first cleaned up a room for the old lady in the guest room on the first floor, then went to the supermarket to add some daily necessities, and arranged them one by one when they got home.

The old lady was sitting by the window of her new room, while Ruan Jing was making the bed.

From that day on, the old lady didn't speak again, except for eating and sleeping, she sat like a statue on weekdays, and she still wouldn't respond to any of their actions.

Ruan Jing wandered around the old lady a lot, and always felt a sense of kindness and familiarity from the old lady. Sometimes when he was busy, he would talk to the old lady on his own, and he didn't care whether the other party listened.

But this time, Ruan Jing raised his head and found that the old lady was looking at him.

His hand holding the rag froze, he was used to entertaining himself and almost had the urge to stand at attention—it was probably the first time the old lady had set her sights on a living thing these days.

He couldn't help being flattered, and talked to her with a smile: "Grandma, my name is Ruan Jing, and I'm Qin Xijue's friend, please tell us if you need anything or want to eat."

The old lady looked at him for a moment, and just when he was about to turn around and continue to work, the old lady suddenly smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were gentle and kind.

Ruan Jing was so shocked that he almost dropped the rag, who knew it wasn't over yet.

The old lady opened her mouth and called softly: "Ruan Ruan."

Ruan Jing opened his eyes wide, stood up straight, grasped the rag helplessly and pinched it, and suddenly blushed, why is this address so sweet... He stammered: "Grandma... I, yes, it's me .”

He searched for Qin Xijue's figure for help, but found that he was not there, so he squatted beside the old lady, and asked cautiously, "Is there anything you want?"

The old lady smiled without saying a word, tilted her head to look at him for a moment, then raised her hand to gently touch Ruan Jing's head.

If Xu Feng was present in this situation, he would probably faint on the spot.

Qin Xijue just brought in a small table from upstairs, stopped at the door, and watched the scene from the sidelines.

Ruan Jing realized that he was occupying the magpie's nest, coughed, pointed to Qin Xijue at the side, and said softly, "Grandma, this—is your grandson."

The old lady didn't know if she understood, she didn't go to see Qin Xijue, she kept smiling kindly at Ruan Jing.

Qin Xijue was a little dazed, watching the sun paint the two people by the window with a layer of warm gold, one was his family, the other was the person he liked, the picture of this strange pair getting along was harmonious and harmonious, He couldn't help standing by the door, didn't step in to disturb the atmosphere in the room, and watched quietly for a long time.

After the two cleaned up the old lady's room, they went to buy some new clothes.

After they discussed, they didn't know how long the old lady would stay at home, and her medicines were not brought, so Qin Xijue had to make an appointment for an outpatient clinic, planning to take the old lady to the hospital, first to understand the old lady's condition, and to prescribe some medicine.

Qin Xijue has always been against the hospital in his heart, but luckily Ruan Jing has been with him these days.

On the day of the consultation, they learned from the doctor that the old lady’s Alzheimer’s disease was indeed more serious than before. For her, it is common for her to be awake at times and confused at times. What time is she in.

Ruan Jing couldn't help but worry when he heard the words, his heart was slightly suspended.

The doctor asked them to take the old man's medicine on time, let her move more, and communicate with her more on weekdays.

After the discussion, the two felt that the situation that day was that the old lady suddenly woke up and became angry when she saw her son's ineffective appearance.

After that, it is impossible to judge.

After leaving the consulting room, Ruan Jing helped the old lady to sit aside, Qin Xijue was about to pay for the medicine, the old lady stopped him suddenly, still did not speak, just took out a bank card from the small bag and handed it over.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, this card is used to pay for medicine.

Only then did Qin Xijue realize that the money on the old lady's card was all money from his father, and there was still a lot left.

Qin Xijue was somewhat surprised that Xu Feng's idea didn't reach this card.

After these things stopped, Qin Xijue was free for a while.

He carefully sorted out what happened in the past few days. The amount of the bank card in the father's belongings box was matched with the unsettled accounts in the inheritance. He could probably guess that it came from the sale of shares.

My father separated the money from other meanings and handed it over to him in the form of money, probably because he hoped that he would not be bound by anything and have the right to make his own choices.

After filling all the debts, there is still a little money left. Although it is not much, he is finally relieved to let the assets go from negative to positive.

The old lady's medicine money has been settled, and his salary in the bar can support the living expenses of the two of them.

I didn't expect that this Spring Festival will bring so many changes, and I don't know how many twists and turns there are in the road ahead. At this time, I feel a little bit of comfort.

The old lady's work is over, and the relatives of Ruan Jing's family have almost left, and the tenth day of the new year will arrive immediately.

Ruan Jing had no choice but to turn around and devote himself to his own affairs.

During this period, his contact with Qin Xijue has not been broken.

In the evening, Ruan Jing was drawing in his room and talking to Qin Xijue who was riding his bicycle to the bar.

When Qin Xijue talked about the daytime affairs, he wanted to find an aunt to take care of the old lady's daily life, but the first thing the old lady said to him was to directly refuse.

In order to prove that she didn't need someone to take care of her, the old lady spent half a day in the yard of Qin Xijue's house the next day, cleaning up the neglected flowers and plants. It seemed that she was going to change to a new variety in spring. How do you look tired.

The doctor also said that proper exercise can help stabilize the condition, but Qin Xijue didn't stop him.

Ruan Jing almost laughed and lay on the drawing board. Qin Xijue was reticent, and the old lady didn't like to talk to others. He could almost imagine how the two of them were relatively silent when he was not around. He comforted Qin Xijue: "You have to deal with the elderly." Just like coaxing a child, your tone should be softer and more obedient."

Qin Xijue was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't imagine himself doing this, he just said: "Come and see her when you have time, she called you to me a few times, it seems that she is not used to your absence. "

Hearing this, Ruan Jing suddenly thought cunningly, and deliberately prolonged the tone: "Oh, it's just that grandma is not used to it..."

Qin Xijue's voice immediately fell silent, and just when Ruan Jing thought that no one was listening, Qin Xijue suddenly replied in a low voice: "...Me too."

Immediately afterwards, he said unnaturally that he had arrived, and quickly hung up the phone.

Ruan Jing looked at the phone as if he didn't hear clearly. He originally just wanted to tease Qin Xijue, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected feedback.

Some inexplicable secret joy slowly rose in my heart, like a child who begged for candy was satisfied, and the little bit of sweetness turned into a small hook scratching the heart.

In fact, in the past few days, he also found that Qin Xijue was different from usual.

From that night on New Year's Eve, maybe it was the night talk between the two of them that brought them closer together, Qin Xijue faced his teasing again, and began to respond according to his wishes.

There is no joking frivolity, but a bit serious.

And at this time, because of Qin Xijue's unabashed words, he directly forgot where the next stroke should be.

A few minutes later, he looked at the calendar, and it was only a few days before the start of school.
