After recovering from the severe shaking cough, Ruan Likang said again: "In the past two days, please take leave... and go back to Luojia Town. Your grandfather is in the old house. Meimei's mother may have passed away..."
"Grandpa?" Ruan Bai was suddenly surprised.
Grandpa was taken to Japan by his aunt a long time ago. When did he come back?
Ruan Likang held down his daughter's hand, worried that her daughter would get angry. He coughed and weakly explained everything. After he finished speaking, the doctor came in.
Do daily routine monitoring and inspections.
"Dad, I'm leaving first." Ruan Bai said.
Ruan Likang nodded.
Absently digesting what her father said about her grandfather, she walked out of the hospital.
In the ward, Ruan Likang stretched out one arm to draw blood for the doctor, and picked up the ringing cell phone with the other hand.
"Hello, this is Ruan Likang." Ruan Likang only looked at the needle pricking into his arm, without looking at the caller ID, and answered the call directly.
Zhang Yali's throat was obviously uncomfortable, as if she hadn't drank water for several days: "Let me ask you, what is your daughter's name?"
"Why do you ask this?" Ruan Likang changed his tone.
Ruan Likang gets angry when he mentions this, and he is talking about Zhang Yali!
When the child was growing up, the mother never asked the child what his name was!
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly!" Zhang Yali yelled like crazy.
"Ruan Bai, her name is Ruan Bai. I hope that when my daughter grows up, her mind will be pure and white, and she will not be like you! Dirty, filthy!" After scolding, Ruan Likang took a few more breaths, "Tell me, you are here again.
What's the crooked idea?!"
Mu's old house.
The mobile phone in Zhang Yali's hand slipped from her hand because her fingers suddenly became weak.
The phone fell to the ground.
Nguyen Bai.
Ruan Likang said that his daughter’s name is Ruan Bai.
Is this Ruan Bai's revenge on her as a mother?
Is this visit a deliberate move?
Zhang Yali laughed sarcastically: Ruan Bai, you are only twenty-four years old, you have such a pure face, but you are so profound in your heart, you are making a fool of us, mother and son!
…
Mu Shaoling just got up in the morning and received a call from Ruan Bai.
"I'm sorry, I promised to go over and make breakfast for you in the morning, but now I'm in a hurry and can't go there. Please tell Zhan Zhanruanruan for me." After saying that, Ruan Bai hung up directly.
The director of the design department had not yet gone to work, so Ruan Bai could only call to ask for leave.
Thinking of her grandfather, whom she had not seen for more than five years, her hands shook and tears flowed out without any warning. The old man, who was already in his seventies, was in poor health and lived alone in a small town.
.
It was her grandfather who raised her since she was a child.
Her grandfather is the person closest to her, even closer than her father.
On the way back to the rental house, she made several phone calls, asked for leave, explained the reasons, explained to the minister, and the team leader Zhou Xiaosu, and then told Li Ni that she would not be back at night and would be away for a few days.
Mu Shaoling then called Ruan Bai, but they both said the line was busy.
Ruan Bai bought a high-speed rail ticket on his mobile phone and chose express.
I simply packed a few clothes and daily necessities and went out in a hurry.
A few years ago, my grandfather was taken to Japan by his aunt. He did not want to live with his son because Li Huizhen, a daughter-in-law, was not easy to get along with. The old man was afraid that he would not live long if he stayed with such a daughter-in-law.
However, my aunt, who was married well, was abandoned by her husband and left Japan.
The old man, who was well taken care of by his son-in-law, suddenly had nowhere to go. The son-in-law, thinking of his last remaining kindness, sent someone to send the old man back to China.
In this matter, Ruan Bai actually resented his father a little.
Why did you arrange for grandpa to live in that old dilapidated house in a small town? What could he do to wrong Li Huizhen and her daughter if they were brought to city A and lived together?
I hurriedly boarded the high-speed train back to Luojia Town.
The station environment was noisy and there were many thieves. Ruan Bai concentrated on protecting his small suitcase.
While sitting peacefully in the high-speed train car, Ruan Bai took out her laptop and started working. With her headphones plugged in, she was not affected by the surrounding environment.
After working for a while, I felt hungry, so I had to eat the bread prepared in my bag.
I got on the bus at 9:20 and arrived at Luojia Town at around 11 noon. After packing my things, Ruan Bai left the station with my suitcase and computer bag.
The station had not changed. If she thought about it carefully, she could still remember that the surrounding environment gave her a long-lost feeling.
Seeing the small town where I was born and raised, my eyes turned red without realizing it.
"Taxi costs five yuan per person!" the dark-skinned uncle yelled at the people leaving the station.
Ruan Bai got into a taxi.
Four people share a car, which costs five yuan each.
In ten minutes, Ruan Bai was sent to the door of the old house.
The two-story building is very dilapidated.
Ruan Bai took a deep breath, stepped on the weeds growing from the cracks in the old bricks on the ground, and walked in with his suitcase.
Pushing open the iron gate, there was a yard paved with red bricks. The weeds in the yard were not tall and showed signs of being treated. As she walked further in, she smelled a choking smell of smoke.
As she walked through the door, her grandfather's arched back came into her sight.
The old man kept coughing. His old eyes were choked red by the thick smoke coming out of the stove pit. Tears flowed from his eyes. There was a bowl of rice and a bowl of leftovers in the black pot.
That bowl of green vegetables had been boiled several times, and there wasn't even a drop of oil in the vegetable soup.
Ruan Bai walked over, and the branches in the pit of the stove were crackling with fire. She quickly reached out and hugged her grandfather, and cried: "Grandpa..."
The old man was holding a fire stick in his skinny hand. He raised his head and glanced at Ruan Bai.
"Who are you……"
"Grandpa, don't you recognize me? I'm Xiaobai."
Ruan Bai wiped his own tears carelessly, then took out a tissue from his bag, carefully wiped his grandfather's dirty face, and complained while crying: "Why didn't you come to me when you came back? My dad can't
Go, there is still my granddaughter..."
"Xiao Bai? Is it really you? Your dad told me that you are getting married. Grandpa shouldn't drag you down and trouble your husband's family." The old man was thinking about his granddaughter. He stared at her with his old eyes and reached out to touch her granddaughter.
Head, alas, my little granddaughter is still so good.
In a daze, the old man did not dare to recognize his granddaughter, and her appearance had changed.
"It's not a burden or a hassle." At this time, a deep and powerful voice sounded at the door.
Ruan Bai thought he was hearing hallucinations and turned his head with tears in his eyes.
She immediately saw the man who seemed to have fallen from the sky. Against the light, she also saw a black Land Rover parked outside the door.
She was so focused on feeling sorry for her grandpa that she didn't even notice the sound of other cars.
This town is used to seeing large cars passing by day and night, and it is used to being noisy.
The man in a suit stooped and stepped in from the dilapidated old threshold. The thresholds of the old houses in the town were built too low, but he was too tall, so he attracted special attention wherever he went.
Their eyes met, and there was depth in Mu Shaoling's dark and deep eyes, and there was anger in that depth, as if she was blaming her for coming alone and being in trouble, but not telling him immediately.
