After kissing the professor

"It's Chinese New Year, why are you staying here alone?" Grandma Shen looked at Yan He who wanted to tuck her whole head into her collar, and felt that her appearance was too funny, so she laughed: "It's such a cold day, Why don't you even wear a scarf?"

The moment the word "scarf" entered Yan He's ears, it seemed to arouse some kind of long-term memory.But it is clear that my sister lent me the scarf not long ago, and it was only a few days after I returned the scarf to her, but Yan He felt that it had been a long time, as if the last time I met my sister was in the last century something happened.

There is a feeling like a world away.

Why does it take so long?

Yan He stared at the white mist produced when he breathed in front of his eyes and thought for a while, the foggy world in front of him seemed deserted.Maybe it's because the bleak environment always makes people feel heavy and needs an outlet for venting. She intends to tell a stranger all her troubles and worries: "There is something at home, I'm going out for a walk."

"Family matters?" Grandma Shen was thoughtful, as if she had thought of something, she smiled slightly, and comforted: "It's Chinese New Year, if the family matters are not particularly difficult to deal with, go home."

Yan He drooped his head and muttered in a low voice: "I feel like my parents want to divorce."

divorce.

In the past, she was obviously afraid of avoiding the two words, but now she said them to an old lady who had only met once in a park that she hadn't visited for a long time.

Yan He thought, if someone told herself that she would do this a few days in advance, she would definitely think that person was crazy.But now, there are many, many things just happened - caught off guard, completely unplanned.

When Yan He was very young, he could feel the signs of alienation between his parents.But she was still young at that time, and she only thought that all couples got along with each other so respectfully.Later, I met a few friends, and when I heard them talking about the good relationship between my parents and myself always eating dog food by the side, Yan He just felt that it was a novelty, and it took a long time to realize that something was wrong.

Li Xiuxi always said that she was a widowed king, as if she had a little lack of emotion.At that time Li Xiuxi was joking, but Yan He knew in his heart that she was right.

"Hey, how can a couple live without conflicts. Parents who choose to divorce after having a child should not be able to survive." Grandma Shen took a long breath and simply sat on the swing beside Yan He He stepped down, shook his legs, and said with some emotion: "I have a son, he-according to what you young people are saying now, he is scum."

Yan He turned her head in surprise, and saw the old lady wearing a hat inadvertently revealing a few strands of white hair from her temples. She suddenly thought of her grandma and grandma.Kind, but always a bit helpless when talking about the past.

Old people who recall the past always carry some vicissitudes, and so does Grandma Shen.She closed her eyes and pondered for a long time before she said: "He is scum, it is my daughter-in-law and granddaughter who suffer."

Hearing the old lady mentioning her granddaughter, Yan He vaguely remembered that the old lady said that her granddaughter also had the same scarf as her elder sister, and she also listened carefully to the old lady began to talk about the past - "When my daughter-in-law was pregnant, my The bastard son cheated, and when my granddaughter was two years old, he completely divorced my daughter-in-law." Grandma Shen sighed, the white mist around her mouth lingered for a long time, she was telling a dusty past: " His business is doing very well, and when people have money, they will think about things they shouldn't think about."

"When he first got married, his conditions were not good, but his life was ordinary at that time. I hope to stay so poor forever."

"After they divorced, my granddaughter followed my daughter-in-law. About five or six years later, my daughter-in-law fell ill, it was cancer." When it comes to the topic of birth, old age, sickness and death, the old people who have gone through vicissitudes of life always have all sorts of thoughts. With emotion: "At that time, she kept carrying it and didn't say it, not to mention that it was already late when it was found out, and there were not many days left."

Speaking of this, Grandma Shen was silent for a while, as if she was hesitating whether she should tell the whole story of her family's past to a little girl who had met once.She is a person who pays attention to eyesight. Although she only met Yan He once, she has a good impression of this kind girl.

"By the time I knew it, she was already dying." Grandma Shen cast her eyes into the distance. She thought of the emaciated woman lying on the hospital bed back then, and the timid girl with tears in her eyes standing beside her hospital bed. Moist: "She was lying on the hospital bed, begging me for the first time—" Grandma Shen's voice was choked with sobs, Yan He pursed her lips, took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to the old lady.

Grandma Shen took her tissue and gently wiped the tears from her eyes: "My daughter-in-law, she will be strong all her life, and she has never begged anyone. It was the night before she left, she took my hand and begged I take good care of the kids. My bastard son never showed up once."

Yan He's eyes were red for some reason.People have the ability to empathize. When an old voice talks about the impermanence of life, old age, sickness and death, it itself represents the helplessness of fate.

"I shouldn't have told you about these things." Grandma Shen smiled, and Yan He could see the wrinkles on her face gathered together kindly, "Well, it's all in the past. I'm getting old, I have a strong desire to express myself, and I always feel that if I don’t find someone to talk about what’s on my mind, I won’t have a chance.”

Yan He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Thank you for telling me so much."

There was hatred in Grandma Shen's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then she felt guilty: "My granddaughter suffered a lot. I was not in good health at the time, and she was always at her father's place. Her father's—" the old man Shaking his head, he was a little hard to say about the next address: "It's not good for her, her father has been forcing the child to study—" Yan He also sighed, and said softly: "It's all over."

"It's all over." Grandma Shen opened her mouth, but said nothing.The two lowered their eyes at the same time, both thinking about their own thoughts.

"I always feel that my parents wanted to divorce when I was very young." Yan He remembered seeing his parents' marriage certificate when he went abroad to apply for documents, and said slowly: "But they didn't divorce until last year. .”

Is it for me?Or do you want to try harder?

"They have also worked hard for you." Grandma Shen stood up on the swing rope made of nylon rope, trembling and stumbling, "It's not easy."

Yan He stood up and helped her, and Grandma Shen let go of her hand after standing still, and the kind smile on her face when they met just now resumed: "Okay, my breath has also passed through, what should I do?" Go back and play mahjong."

When the old lady first came, she seemed to say that she had lost too badly in mahjong and came out to get some fresh air.Yan He laughed: "Isn't playing mahjong just for fun?"

Grandma Shen snorted: "Those bastards don't know how to let me be the elder!"

"Shall I take you home?" Yan He followed her and took two steps.

Grandma Shen waved her hand: "No need! Anyway, it's nearby, and I'll walk there in 5 minutes. I'll walk back by myself." She looked at Yan He who was tucked into the neckline again, and said earnestly, "Young people should pay attention to their health. Ah! Don't rely on your body to be able to resist the cold when you are young, and regret it when you are old."

Yan He always felt that she had heard this passage before, and the sense of familiarity came like a wave.By the time she regained consciousness, the old lady had already walked a long way with her hands behind her back.

"Thank you!" Yan He shouted at her back, with a smile in his voice: "Happy Chinese New Year!"

Grandma Shen waved her hand with her back turned to her.

Yan He sat on the swing again.

They probably had lunch and received the New Year's money. At this moment, many parents took their children to the park for a stroll.Yan He saw a parent walking towards the swing with their children, and left the Children's Paradise tactfully.

Yan He walked out with his hands in his pockets, thinking, since Mr. Yan and Ms. He don't want him to know about this, then he should pretend not to know.She took out her mobile phone and booked a movie ticket for the next movie nearby.

Anyway, it's Chinese New Year, and it's always good to watch a movie.

Yan He walked out of the gate of the park, turned his head and saw the marble engraved with the four big characters "Lakeside Park" standing at the gate of the park, the hem of the big red characters has faded a bit.

Happy Spring Festival.

She said something to herself in her heart.

It's strange, Yan He thought, at this moment, he always wanted to call his sister, and wanted to hear her voice.The phone was in her pocket, and the dialog with her sister was on the top, but the cold wind came from nowhere, which made her shrink back from her sudden courage.

—Maybe my sister is with her family now.

Sister, I wish you happiness too.

. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Sanyang Kaitai welcomes the Kitchen God.

In order for Tan Ning's family to come, Grandma Shen got busy early in the morning.Shen Jinrong followed behind his grandma, seeing the old lady's more than a dozen dishes written in a small notebook, Shen Jinrong was speechless: "Grandma, the two of us didn't have such a grand New Year's Eve dinner, did we? Don't be tired."

Grandma Shen gave her a blank look: "Meals are delicious only when they are lively. It is the most comfortable when there are many people. You don't even say a word when you eat. It's boring and meaningless."

Shen Jinrong defended herself: "Didn't you say you don't eat or sleep?"

Grandma Shen didn't like her: "Pull it down, you just talk the most when you argue."

Shen Jinrong counted the days, and it was the day when she would be bored by grandma after staying together for a while.She knew how wrong she had said, so she simply closed her mouth and said nothing.

"You just don't have Ning Ning's caring heart, and you don't even know how to talk to me." Grandma Shen sighed, lamenting that the young people nowadays are less and less respectful of the old.

Shen Jinrong: ...

Was it me who didn't let me talk just now?

At eleven o'clock at noon, Tan Ning and Tan's mother brought their children over to celebrate the New Year.The person who opened the door was Shen Jinrong. She was wearing an ordinary white shirt today, the hem was fixed in the suit pants, and the cuffs were rolled up to the crook of her arms.

Seeing Shen Jinrong in this dress, Tan Ning was taken aback and asked, "Are you in a meeting?"

Shen Jinrong took the gift in her hand, turned to ask her and Mother Tan to take the child in: "Yes." Shen Jinrong looked down at the time: "I have a video conference at [-] in the afternoon, so I don't have time to change clothes."

Tan Ning's eyes fell on her wristwatch, and the emotion in his eyes flashed.

Grandma Shen had already heard the noise and came out of the kitchen: "Oh! Ning Ning is here!" She saw the things brought by Tan's mother, and said angrily: "Bring the child! Why are you still carrying things! There is no shortage of this at home! Let me see our little baby!"

"Yeah~" The little girl lying in the stroller smiled when she saw Grandma Shen, and stretched out her arms to hug her.

Mother Tan took the baby out of the stroller, and smiled at Grandma Shen: "Come and hug the baby! You grandma—" She slapped her head: "This generation doesn't seem right! It's—— Grandma Zeng?"

Grandma Shen gave her a scolding look: "How can I be so old?" As she spoke, she took the baby in her arms and held it carefully.

Grandma Shen looked as if someone was missing, and asked why Tan Ning's husband didn't come: "Where's Xiao Jiang? Didn't you come back this year?"

"He's abroad, he's busy with business." Tan Ning answered naturally.

Shen Jinrong stood aside as a display.

"Jin Rong! You and Ning Ning go to see the soup in my kitchen! My stewed chicken soup!" After holding the fragrant and soft baby, Grandma Shen felt displeased with Shen Jinrong, who didn't like to smile, so she simply took it She rushed to the kitchen: "It's just a handful of goji berries! Turn down the fire when it's about time!"

"Are you in a relationship?" After entering the kitchen, Tan Ning closed the door and went to see Grandma Shen's stewed chicken soup.She asked about it in a very casual tone, like a casual greeting.

Shen Jinrong was noncommittal, rummaging through the wolfberries in the kitchen: "Not yet."

Tan Ning raised her eyebrows: "Not sure?"

"Correct."

"I know?"

Shen Jinrong frowned, not knowing how to answer Tan Ning's question for a while.She remembered that she once met a child in Tan Ning's office. She seemed to be Tan Ning's student?

"Yes." She admitted bluntly.

Tan Ning turned down the heat of the chicken soup a little more, touched his chin thoughtfully: "Why haven't you decided yet?"

Shen Jinrong thought to himself, I have to ask the children.

"I don't understand well."

Tan Ning asked, "Do you have a crush on each other?"

Shen Jinrong recalled the child's bright amber eyes, and nodded.She didn't like chatting with Tan Ning very much after she graduated from undergraduate. Tan Ning studied psychology and worked as a psychological counselor, so she habitually fell into the trap of talking.

Shen Jinrong doesn't like her prying into her mind, even if it's just an unconscious professional habit.

"Correct."

Tan Ning raised his eyebrows and laughed: "There are people that our Professor Shen can't handle?"

Shen Jinrong's tone was calm: "I can't figure out that there are too many people." She didn't continue the topic anymore, looked through the bags that had bottomed out, poked her head out of the kitchen door and said loudly, "Grandma! Goji berries are gone!"

"Then you go to the vegetable market next door to buy!" Grandma Shen also shouted back to her: "Just go to Lao Hu's house! Go into the vegetable market and turn left to the second one! Their goji berries are good!"

Shen Jinrong took the key, and Tan Ning glanced at Mother Tan, who was having a heated chat with Grandma Shen, and felt that she was in the way by staying here, so she said, "I'll go with you."

Shen Jinrong frowned, but he didn't say anything of rejection.

"I'll show you my girlfriend, Yu Ke is here to join in the fun." On the way to the vegetable market to buy hot pot ingredients, Li Xiuxi muttered unhappily: "I don't know her very well."

Yan He had already heard Li Xiuxi's complaints all the way, and she felt that this matter was purely Li Xiuxi's own fault: "Then who is to blame? Who told you to say that sentence politely." She was amused by her own thoughts: "Fake politeness to meet You're welcome."

Li Xiuxi regretted to death: "I shouldn't talk too much, I blame me." She could vaguely guess Yu Ke's thoughts towards Yan He, and she regretted even more: "I can't have this mouth."

Yan He lowered his head and glanced at the list: "I've said it all, anyway, there won't be a piece of meat missing after a meal."

"I want you to formally meet my girlfriend as a family member today—" Li Xiuxi bit his tongue again in the middle of speaking.

Yan He: "Why don't I tell her? I'll treat her to dinner next time."

Li Xiuxi sighed: "That's the only way to go, I'm sorry..." She patted Yan He on the shoulder: "Next time, I will treat you to two meals."

Yan He held back a smile and let out an "um", thinking about his words and Yu Ke's apology.

"Uncle Hu!" Li Xiuxi skillfully walked to the door of a shop that was still open, and called out familiarly inside.

The middle-aged man in an apron came out and smiled when he saw Li Xiuxi: "What are you shopping for today?"

"I'll buy something—" Li Xiuxi got stuck in the middle of his sentence, turned his head and asked Yan He: "Where's the list?"

Yan He didn't respond, his eyes were fixed on the door of the vegetable market.

Li Xiuxi was puzzled, and followed her gaze, but saw Shen Jinrong and Tan Ning walking side by side.

……

Damn... isn't it?What is the relationship between these two people?
