Don’t Be Aggressive with Me - Chapter 68
Cheng Siqiao was not in a hurry to interrupt Lao Li and listen to him continue to talk about what happened later.
“You all know more or less.” Old Li took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on, “I? This? Old? My head is very temperamental, of course I can’t listen? What did he say, still? Chase him away.”
“What happened then?” Cheng Siqiao vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple, and couldn’t help asking, “What happened afterwards?”
“After I drove him away, I went out to play cards.” Old Li Meng took a breath and slowly recalled the scene at that time. “There was a lot of snow at noon that day, and the temperature suddenly? It dropped several degrees, and there was thick ice on the road, which made it inconvenient to walk. I also lost a lot of time on the road. When I waited for me to go back, I found that? Waited for me at the door? Go back?.”
“He didn’t wear much at the time, just one? A thin coat was on his body, and his lips were a little purple with cold, but he didn’t say anything, just wanted to ask me? Help.”
Cheng Siqiao became more and more firm in his ideas, and asked him: “Grandpa Li, did you return it later? Did you teach him how to make candied haws?”
“Yes.” Old? Li wondered, “but? How do you know?”
“Ah.” Cheng Siqiao casually found someone? Why did you prevaricate? Go?, “I asked casually.”
“That’s it.” Old? Li didn’t doubt anything, so he continued. “At that time, I didn’t plan to do this anymore, so I just thought? Just teach him the method, so he can trouble me if I save it. “
“In those few days, he was very diligent, and every day was early in the morning? Come to help me? Clean up the yard? What, at the beginning, I did not expect that he really? Can stick to it, stay with me every day? This? Old man? Together, I was tired every day, but in the end I really learned it.”
“Oh right.” Old? Li added, “Before? Me? Still? Ask him to be so accustomed? That? Little girl? Actually willing to spend a whole day with me for her? This? Dealing with the old man.”
Cheng Siqiao’s emotions gradually became agitated: “Then how did he answer?”
“He said that as long as his girlfriend wants it, he is willing to do his best? Help her fight for it.”
Once this sentence was finished, Cheng Siqiao couldn’t stretch himself.
In those few days, I blamed him for ignoring himself, but I didn’t know that he paid so much in order to satisfy a wish he mentioned casually, but he never mentioned it in front of him. Instead, he coaxed everywhere. ?Own.
Cheng Siqiao tried hard to suppress her emotions? Old Li did not notice anything unusual, and continued: “Before? I? I set up a stall to sell candied haws because of me? That old woman?, she especially likes to eat candied haws, but outside What I did? I was always worried, so I learned how to make it for her. Later, when I retired and stayed at home with nothing to do, I often made candied haws for her to eat, and then she encouraged me to come out and set up a stall.”
“This was for several years. Until a few years ago, she was gone -” Lao Li said of the sadness, but also moved a little, “Since she is gone, I don’t think it is necessary to continue doing this candied haws? , It’s no longer a stall.”
“I? On that? Young man? I saw the shadow of myself when I was young? Thinking? Even if my old partner is gone, but maybe? There will be other people who like what I did, so I started to sell things again. .”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa Li.” Cheng Siqiao said a little apologetically, “I mentioned your sadness.”
“It’s okay.” Old? Li smiled and waved his hand. “It’s all going to go. The days must go forward. Now I come out to set up a stall during the day and look at you young faces. , I feel a lot younger.”
Cheng Siqiao didn’t know what to say, so he kept silent.
“Well, you are listening to me in this vent? Nagging for a long time, don’t be here with me? Wasting time, go? Do your own thing.”
“Okay.” Cheng Siqiao nodded, fingers tightly pinched on the bamboo sticks of the candied haws, “Goodbye, Grandpa Li, remember to take good care of yourself.”
The two returned to the original route and continued to look for the barbecue restaurant. Ji Yiming felt that Cheng Siqiao had been silent, and reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
Cheng Siqiao turned her head, and Ji Yiming was instantly stunned when she saw her red eyes.
“You, what’s wrong with you?” Ji Yiming squatted. “The eyes are so red? Are you crying?”
“No, it’s nice? Go? Eat, why are you crying?”
“Don’t cry, if Xie Chen knows this, you can’t fly over? Come and beat me?”
Cheng Siqiao was so wry smile by this sentence? He couldn’t, and explained to Ji Yiming: “The boy that Grandpa Li just said was Xie Chen.”
“Xie Chen??!” Ji Yiming’s eyes widened, he was obviously surprised, and he repeated in disbelief, “Are you saying Xie Chen went for you? Learn how to make candied haws?”
“Yes.” Cheng Siqiao rubbed his eyes with his hands, “Remember to go? Before New Year’s Eve?, I? I complained to you that Xie Chen was a little cold to me?”
“Remember, remember.” Ji Yiming’s brain turned quickly, “You mean, those few days happened to be when Xie Chen was helping Lao Li?”
“Correct.”
Ji Yiming also fell into silence.
“Xie Chen is to you…” I don’t know how long it has been before, Ji Yiming broke the silence first, “He is true to you? He cares very much.”
“You said this, I know.” Cheng Siqiao looked down at the road and said in a dull voice, “Just thinking about him doing so many things behind his back, but he has never mentioned it in front of me. Some unspeakable feelings.”
“I? I can understand what you are thinking.” It is rare for Ji Yiming to speak with Cheng Siqiao in such a serious manner. “But? You don’t have to be too uncomfortable about this matter. The relationship is one? A mutual process? The process, before you? For Xie Chen. It took a lot of effort, so he is willing to do this for you.”
“I understand.” Cheng Siqiao raised his head and stared at the sky, “All I can do is to love him and live up to his feelings for me.”
Cheng Siqiao will return to Nancheng on the second day of the Lunar New Year. In order to get along with her grandpa and grandma for a while, Cheng Siqiao will go there on the morning of New Year’s Eve.
When entering the door, Lao Zhou Zheng was sitting on the sofa and tantrums at the screen of his mobile phone, looking as if he was on a video call with someone.
Cheng Siqiao had gone there and swept his eyes and saw Zhou Nian on the screen. Zhou Nian saw her passing by, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically: “Si Qiao, are you back?”
Hearing Zhou Nian’s words, the old Zhou turned his head and said in surprise: “Oh, Si Qiao, you are here.”
“Yeah.” Cheng Siqiao sat down beside him, Zhou Nian talked to her across the screen, “Siqiao, how have you been? High? Three tired?”
“Alright? Good.” Cheng Siqiao smiled at her, “I don’t feel tired when I get used to it.”
“If you are tired from studying, eat more delicious food.” Zhou Nian told her, “Don’t push yourself so hard, you can definitely get one on the test? If you have a good grade, trust yourself.”
“Okay, thank you cousin.”
“You’re dead? Girl.” Old Zhou interrupted dissatisfiedly, and said to Zhou Nian, “Speaking to Si Qiao with such a good attitude, it’s me? This one is so mad at me?, are you? on purpose?!”
“Siqiao is younger than me.” Zhou Nian said unhurriedly, “I, of course, have to let her? This is called Aiyou.”
“Then me? Still? Older than you? Too!” Lao Zhou became even more angry when he heard her explanation, “Why don’t you know how to respect the elderly?”
“Are you not old?” Zhou Nian said, “Look at the uncle Zhang next door, he is still in his seventies? You think you are very young. You have to learn from others. Don’t lose your temper at all times. It’s not good for your health. .”
“I? I’m too lazy to tell you this!” Old Zhou turned his head and looked at Cheng Siqiao, “Why did you come by yourself?”
“I’m going back to Liaocheng in my second year.” Cheng Siqiao explained, “So I want to stay with you for a while.”
“Can you learn from Si Qiao.” Old? Zhou couldn’t help but dislike Zhou Nian. “She is more sensible than you.”
“That’s right.” Old Zhou asked Cheng Siqiao, “The boy who came with you in the past year? Xie-why are you thanking?”
“Xie Chen?”
“Yes, Xie Chen.” Old Zhou said, “has he come this year?”
“No, our vacation this year was very short, and he didn’t come back.”
Old Zhou sighed: “Me? Still thinking? If he comes back, let him accompany me again? Let’s play chess.”
“Grandpa.” Zhou Nian on the other side of the screen said, “If you want to play chess and find me? Nothing, I’ll accompany you.”
Thinking of the unpleasant experience on New Year’s Eve, the old Zhou said irritably: “Go? Go? Go, you should bother me.”
“Grandpa, this is your fault.” Zhou Nian complained, “I, kindly call you to greet you, and offer to accompany you to play chess. This is your attitude toward me?”
“You might as well be less angry with me? A few words!”
“Okay, okay.” Every time two people quarrel, Cheng Siqiao will help adjust in the middle, “You two less say a few words.”
“If it weren’t for her to find me wrong, I didn’t bother to care about her.” Old Zhou looked at? Zhou Nian said, “Okay, nothing else for me? Hang up first.”
“Wait a minute.” Zhou Nian interrupted, and said to Cheng Siqiao, “I’ve mailed it to you? I went to a gift, and the address is exactly the courier point below my grandfather’s house. It should be put there. It’s been a while, and you happened to be back. Remember to go? Get it.”
“Okay, thank you cousin.”
“Why don’t you know to give it to me? Prepare some gifts?” Old Zhou frowned.
“Me? Didn’t Dad send the things back to you long ago? Didn’t you?” Zhou Nian said, “Okay, me? There just happened to be something here. Hang up first.”
Cheng Siqiao had eaten? After dinner, he remembered about picking up the courier. He casually put on a quilted jacket and went downstairs.
Before? Zhou Nian also gave them? Her gifts? Most of them were some tricky little toys. Cheng Siqiao was immunized after being scared a few times. No matter what outrageous things Zhou Nian gave, she could be expressionless? accept.
She was curious about what Zhou Nian would give her this time, so she opened the courier directly at the courier point.
They are two wishing charms, and there is a small card written by Zhou Nian next to them.
[This is me? I went to the temple when I returned to China during the summer vacation. It is said that many parents will go there before the college entrance examination? Then, bye bye, you and Xie Chen are one by one. I wish you all the college entrance examinations. Good luck, and I wish you all the time?. 】
Without waiting for her to take a closer look, the phone in her pocket vibrated a few times, and Cheng Siqiao took out the phone. It was Zhou Nian’s message.
[Cousin: Received a gift? 】
[Cousin: Although it sounds a bit superstitious, it’s better to take it with you. I heard that it is very spiritual. 】
[Cousin: I’m busy with school internship this half semester, and can’t go back. Look at you, I’ve also gone through the college entrance examination, can understand your feelings, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, relax your mind . 】
[Cousin: In the last semester? Don’t affect yourself because of anything. If you are in a bad mood, let Xie Chen take you out and stroll around. If you can’t do it, tell me, I’m not going back, though. But you can always chat with you. 】
Zhou Nian’s long seemingly ordinary words moved Cheng Siqiao so much.
She suddenly felt that Zhou Nian’s attitude towards herself had changed a lot this year.
It seems that since entering the third year of high school, the people around them have been different to themselves.
Although Zhou Yun doesn’t go to the apartment to see her often, her daily reminders will be posted to her mobile phone on time. When the temperature drops, she reminds her to wear more clothes and remind her not to eat too many unhealthy things. She is afraid of the impact after each exam. Her state will not be too much? Ask her grades.
The senior teachers in all subjects also changed their previous serious education methods and began to encourage everyone to teach. Even if anyone performed abnormally in the exam, they would laugh? Reassuringly, it was just a mock exam, not too much? care.
There used to be a small-scale music studio downstairs in the apartment. When I first moved, I played until late at night. Xie Chen went there. After saying that, after that, I would be stuck every day when they went back and stopped. , In order to create a better environment for them.
Not to mention Xie Chen, never quarreled with her this year, big and small things are tolerating her.
Thinking about it this way, Cheng Siqiao suddenly felt that she could no longer complain about being tired in high school, because there were many people behind her silently supporting her.
She took a photo of the gift from Zhou Nian and sent it to Xie Chen.
[My? Smelly dog:? what is this? 】
[Toffee: My cousin specially gave me the wishing charms we asked for, one for each person, and I will give it to you when I go back. 】
[My? My stinky dog: Okay. 】
Cheng Siqiao’s fingers stayed on the keyboard for a while, and slowly typed: [Xie Chen, you have been taking care of me all this year? Tolerate me? Although it would be a bit of fun to say that, but I? Still? I just want to say something. thank you. 】
[My? My stinky dog: Why are you thanking me? 】
[My stinky dog: Are you me? Xie Chen will marry home in the future. From the moment we are together, I have decided to take care of you for the rest of my life. 】
