Teacher Takeaway-Second

Although I have met her elders several times, this is the first time I have entered Yuwei's hometown.

I forgot to mention that Yuwei doesn't live here now. In order to clear up space for her grandma to rest at ease, she moved to another independent suite, but it's not far from her old home.

"You're finally back! Ah... and Xiao Dai?" Yuwei's mother seemed a little surprised when she saw me, but she quickly returned her smile. "If you want to bring someone back without saying a word? Have you eaten?"

"I asked Yuwei not to say anything because I didn't want my aunt to bother me." I glanced at her and subtly gave her a step down.It didn't occur to me that she didn't tell her mom that we'd be back together.

"I told my grandma." Her words seemed to answer my aunt's question at the same time.

"No wonder! She has been thinking that today she will help Yuwei celebrate her birthday. In addition to making birthday noodles, she also made a few dumplings; it is just right that Xiaodai will come back together. You can eat together and watch TV with grandma."

Auntie was talking and led me and Yuwei into the house; the living room of their house is really magnificent, no matter the layout, decoration, or the choice of furniture, it can be seen that it is luxurious, but it does not give people a sense of dignity. An overwhelming sense of oppression.

I saw her father on the sofa; about two years ago, her father had a slight stroke, and the left side of his body has been inconvenient since then. She said that it was caused by being busy with work and neglecting to take care of herself, so the case is no longer accepted. up.

He didn't say much when he saw the two of us, he just smiled and said "I'm back, hurry up and see grandma" and continued watching TV.

Perhaps it is the established impression of a traditional strict father and loving mother.According to my observation, Yuwei's father is always so cold to his daughter. When he was in the hospital, he was mainly responsible for taking care of the elderly, so I can see him interacting with Yuwei the most.

But today's smile is kind.

Yuwei took off her white coat before going upstairs, revealing the tight-fitting dark red turtleneck underneath. She had a small box in her hand at some point. I guess it was the repaired antique watch she just mentioned.

"There is actually not much space in the old house, and grandma also moved all her things here, so she is now sleeping in my previous room."

"I thought you would live at home with your grandma."

She smiled, "So I will come back every day now."

Her room is located at the end of the corridor on the second floor. When we approached, there was the sound of the TV; she opened the door lightly, and called "Grandma" sweetly, in exchange for a kind smile from the old man inside.Immediately, their grandparents embraced each other, creating an enviable and warm scene.

"I'm back! Ah, Mr. Dai, thank you for bringing us Xiaowei back." The old woman in front of her was sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on her feet, looking very relaxed.Although she had just been discharged from the hospital, grandma seemed to be smiling and her complexion was quite good.Even though she is nearly [-] years old, her youthful demeanor can still be seen on her face full of age marks; this has been unreservedly inherited to the mother and daughter Auntie and Yuwei.

"Come, come! I made dumplings and a small bunch of birthday noodles for you. Can you still eat it? Jing Fen said that you are going to have dinner with the little girls today." Yuwei and the others, whose maiden name is Wei, Jingfen is my aunt's name.

"Actually, I've just eaten, but I will definitely eat the noodles cooked by grandma. But before eating the noodles..." Yu Wei deliberately put the box behind her back, and then performed a tricky but sincere magic trick; she quickly put the box Shaking in front of the old man, "Qiang Qiang! Congratulations on your discharge from the hospital! This little gift for you, open it and have a look?"

"It's not me who celebrates my birthday today, so there are still gifts to get?" Grandma smiled from ear to ear, "You little girl, what do you give Grandma... Huh?" When she opened it, the surprise was beyond words.

"It's the watch you've been wearing before; I sent it to someone else for repair, and now I've changed the parts and the strap, and it's as good as new."

"Hey! Look, Xiaowei is so caring! None of your uncle's daughters look like you...It's been repaired, it's really..."

"Shall I help you put it on?"

"I'm fine with a watch! You say hello to your boyfriend; I just made the noodles, but the noodles are thin and rotten quickly, can you eat quickly?" The old man raised his head to greet him, pointing to the desk beside him; Only then stood up from the half-kneeling posture, and pulled me to sit at the desk.

Although the room was moved to grandma, there are still old textbooks on the bookshelf; seeing the textbook version we used when we were students is quite nostalgic.

There are about a dozen dumplings, but there are quite a lot of noodles; I was eating most of them, and Yuwei seized the opportunity to talk to the old man; halfway through the conversation, it was probably because the show lost its appeal, and grandma turned off the TV and talked to Yuwei seriously stand up.

"You, don't keep pushing things to others...Mr. Dai, how long have you been dating?"

"grandmother……"

"I didn't ask you, I'm talking to Mr. Dai." Grandma suddenly became strong, switching from the topic of talking at school to our relationship in an instant.I quickly raised my head, facing the smiling retired professor, somehow, I also felt a little pressure in my heart? "How long have you been dating our Xiaowei?"

"It's been around since October last year..." I looked at her to confirm, and pushed the bowl with some noodles to her by the way. "About half a year or so."

"It's still half a year old... You two met as colleagues?"

"Correct."

"Xiaowei's temper is very arrogant, right?"

"Grandma! How can anyone tell others about this..."

"Isn't Mr. Dai your boyfriend? As an elder, it's reasonable to know how you get along?" Grandma turned a blind eye to Yuwei's protest, "Actually, I wanted to ask you a few days ago when I was in the hospital, but people were too talkative. Miscellaneous, our Xiaowei has a thin skin; what's more, there are some ignorant people there."

As soon as the phrase "unfamiliar" came out, Yu Wei, who wanted to refute, was stopped impartially; she stopped talking immediately, and just lowered her head to eat noodles.

I probably know who the old man is talking about.

"Grandma, today is Yuwei's birthday. It's a happy day, so let's not talk about some people for now."

"That's right, that's fine; if Xiaowei had been with someone as serious as Mr. Dai a few years ago, maybe I would have already embraced my grandson... It's only been half a year?" The old man seemed to think that we didn't have enough time together Looked a little disappointed.

I smiled and quickly changed the subject; Yuwei seldom spoke again in the following time.

I seem to see a glimmer of water from the corner of her eyes.

***

When we were full, we said goodbye to grandma and her parents and prepared to send her home.

In fact, the suite she lives in is within a fifteen-minute walk from her old home, but she is taking my car today, so she still has to leave the garage of her home.What's more, the things her students gave her are still here.

After getting into the car and pulling up the seat belt, she still seemed quite depressed.

Reaching out to pat her hair, she turned slightly to me, "Grandma is just talking casually. Don't take it to heart." I comforted her with a smile, and finally, I found a smile from the corner of her mouth.

I can't help thinking back to the time when Shen Manling visited her grandmother in the past-I remember they still greeted each other, but it seemed that the interaction ended there.But in the hospital, I actually couldn't talk to the old man.I was also very surprised to hear her say that suddenly today.

Her smiling mouth is very attractive, and if the car hadn't started, I might have leaned forward to kiss her again.The electric iron gate slowly opened, and we quickly left her old home.

It is said that the place where Yuwei currently lives was her father's studio. As mentioned earlier, her father has not taken the job of a designer since he suffered a stroke. Now it seems to be her new residence. I have accompanied her back several times. But I just know the approximate location, and I haven't had a chance to go up and have a look.

"She never just talks casually." She responded in a low voice; I was driving slowly in the alley, and I was distracted to glance at her, and was immediately frightened by the sudden rush of vehicles. "careful!"

"Really, the road is so narrow and you drive so fast..." I glanced at the taillights of that car, and turned left at the next small one-way street.

Her detached suite is close at hand.I choose to stop on the side of the road.

"Yuwei?" I was a little puzzled by her lack of response. "Are... are you okay?" Having said that, I have never delved into why she and Shen Manling broke up.

My hand stayed on the gear lever, hesitating whether to push the P gear; she didn't speak, it was like a freeze frame; I fell into waiting again.

About 1 minute or so, she came to take my right hand.

Then, I heard her request in a slightly nasal voice - "Can you stay with me for a while?"

my pleasure.
