Before I could blow my beard and get mad, Cheng Baize reacted quickly and gave me a wink, and then opened his mouth with a smile on his face: "Okay, grandpa, as long as you finish the operation, then Jiaolong and I will do what you want."
got engaged!"
I stood there angrily. I knew that Cheng Baize wanted to deceive my grandpa, but obviously my grandpa was aware of his little thoughts. He grinned and made a pained sound: "I have changed my mind.
It's no use getting engaged. This girl has such a good idea. Don't fool me. I'm not that stupid yet. I want to see the marriage certificate. If I have the marriage certificate, I will go on stage for the operation. When the time comes,
I don’t care if I can open my eyes and step off the stage, I can die in peace!”
Marriage certificate!!?
I widened my eyes and pointed at Cheng Baize: "Grandpa, you like Cheng Baize so much and you force him to marry someone who has a boyfriend. Aren't you making things difficult for him!!"
"Don't argue with me! I'm doing this for your own good! Xiaobai doesn't even have a problem with what you're arguing about!"
My grandfather’s fighting ability was not inferior to mine at all. Seeing that I wanted to talk more, he lay down on the hospital bed and groaned: "Oh, my legs, this hurts, how can I get this disease? I
I can't help but die. If I open my eyes, I won't be able to see the day my granddaughter gets married. Even if I look at it, I won't be able to remember it. I have Alzheimer's disease!"
Look, are you angry? Are you angry? This old horse head, when I looked at my grandpa like that, it was the first time that my teeth felt itchy. Who would have thought that he would protect me and support me in other places?
My grandpa is the only one who is stubborn about my life-long issue!
"Grandpa, please don't be angry with me, okay? You know, you're making things difficult for Cheng Baize. You even got a marriage certificate, and he..."
"Jiaolong!"
Cheng Baize interrupted me in a low voice and silently mouthed to me, "It's useless for you to talk about this now." As he said that, he squeezed his grandpa's hand and said, "Grandpa, you can wait for the operation with peace of mind. Since it's me,
If I want to marry Jiaolong, I will tell her about this. I am also afraid that Jiaolong will be wronged if she is with Zhuo Jing, but if I want her to marry me, I have to let her see my sincerity, right? Don’t follow me.
I’m anxious.”
Listening to Cheng Baize's words, grandpa replied with a trembling mouth: "Xiao Bai, you said you are so good, why can't this girl see you? What kind of ecstasy drug did that Zhuo give her?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, leave it to me, don't follow Jiaolong, she is ignorant, ah."
I was a little dumbfounded, listening to Cheng Baize following my grandfather's words to each other, no, what is this? This is.
"Hey, you..."
"Come on, Jiaolong, come out and let's have a good talk."
Cheng Baize comforted my grandpa and did not give me any room to speak. He pulled me towards the corridor outside the ward. I was pulled to the bench resting area in the corner with a puzzled look on my face, and I threw away his hand helplessly: "
Cheng Baize, you..."
"I know what you are going to say, why are you telling your grandpa that, right?"
Cheng Baize interrupted me expressionlessly and glanced at my grandpa's ward door from a distance: "Do you think it's useful for you to argue? Grandpa is a patient now. What you're doing by noisy other than aggravating his condition.
Nothing will work."
I was a little depressed, "But you can't say that to my grandpa. This will make my grandpa more sure that you can marry me, and he will force me to marry you..."
Cheng Baize looked at me helplessly, and suddenly reached out and flicked my forehead: "Ma Jiaolong, are you using all your intelligence to dispel evil spirits? You can't use your brain to coax the old man.
Do you know if he is in the hospital now, will he still follow us to the Civil Affairs Bureau? I can just spend dozens of dollars to buy a fake certificate! He deceived him into having an operation, and the matter will be settled.
!"
I shook my head and looked at him very firmly: "No, if Zhuo Jing finds out, he will definitely get misunderstood. I can't do anything to make him misunderstand. Besides, it's not fair to you."
Cheng Baize looked at me as if he was speechless: "Mr. Ma, Master Ma, you've already said that this is false evidence, and it will have no impact on your and my real life, okay..."
As he said that, he unbuttoned his coat with some helplessness, opened his clothes and looked at me with his hands on his waist: "Besides, if you don't tell me how Zhuo Jing knows, even if he knows, he has to understand. I will tell you
It's just that I made a false certificate for the old man. He won't even be jealous of asking you to take a photo with me in the false certificate. That's really no one else!"
I lowered my eyes and sat on the bench: "You are wrong. I think it is not good to lie to my grandfather like this. You and I know that the marriage certificate is fake, but my grandpa will definitely think it is true. This may be a lie.
He had an operation, so if the operation is completed, how can this lie be fulfilled?"
Cheng Baize sat next to me and looked at me with his eyes: "Do you know what I hate most about you?"
"Which point?"
"You are too indecisive in doing things! You are too pretentious!"
There was a hint of hardness in Cheng Baize's tone: "Everything has two sides. We can't be perfect. Well, if I didn't lie to your grandpa, your grandpa would definitely insist on his own opinion. He asked me to marry you.
I haven't been talking about it for a day or two, I have done everything I should do, so now I want to ask you, what do you think you should do about this matter!"
"Cheng Baize." I called his name softly and looked up at him seriously: "You are really good to me and my family."
Cheng Baize, who was about to teach me an ideological education class with an uncontrollable expression, was startled by my appearance. He unconsciously moved to the chair next to me and put a little distance away from me: "You
what does it mean."
I slowly raised the corners of my mouth: "It's not interesting, I just want to ask you, do you think there is a pure friendship between men and women?"
Cheng Baize looked at me for a long time as if you had taken the wrong medicine, raised his eyebrows slightly, and simply said two words: "No."
I laughed: "Why."
He looked at me with a hint of vigilance on his face: "Don't you even have to ask? If a man treats a woman well, he must have a purpose. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, then the man just wants to change her relationship. If she has a boyfriend,
This man is willing to be a spare tire...Ma Jiaolong, I vaguely remember that we have discussed this topic."
I looked at him calmly: "So, why are you so nice to me? Do you want to be a spare tire?"
Cheng Baize suddenly smiled, with two deep dimples forming on his cheeks: "Oh, this is the thing you keep going around and around. Then tell me first, are you a woman?"
"I, of course..."
"Would a woman have a physiological reaction to setting up a tent?"
"Cheng Baize!!" I cleared my throat and punched out: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Baize shook his head with a smile, cleared his throat and leaned closer to me, "Although, I regard you as a woman in my heart, because you have made me see a lot of things in both your thoughts and your style.
She is a pretentious, impulsive, childish and plump woman, but in fact, you are really sorry for that guy of yours. Oh my, I don’t know who had such a lyrical expression when she wanted to go back to Anton a few years ago.
He looked at me and said, Cheng Baize, I want to be a man from now on."
"Cheng Baize, you...if you weren't angry with me, you could die, right?"
Cheng Baize's eyebrows were full of smiles: "Hey, you're angry now, tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, it's only been a few years, and now you're in love with that person again, how can you have the nerve to tell me this, sister, please
You, your brother, I still want to live for two more years, but I can’t afford to worry about that with you!"
I stopped moving and stretched out my hand to scratch my head: "Then why are you so kind to my grandpa and so responsive to his requests?"
"Do you even need to ask? Your grandpa is the first elder who is truly good to me."
Cheng Baize pointed at his heart, and the smile on his face slowly faded: "Anyone who is sincere to me, I will definitely return it ten times or a hundred times, but my heart can't accommodate too many people, so you
You should be lucky that you came in and your grandpa came in, so now that there are enough people, the door is closed."
Seeing that I was silent, Cheng Baize put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Okay, don't think about it so much. I just asked your grandpa to do the surgery first, and I will take care of the rest. Anyway, it was me who came up with the idea.
If you are afraid that Zhuo Jing will misunderstand, just tell him. Anyway, as long as I don't see him, it doesn't matter how you deal with him.
"
I sat still and looked up at him: "During the days when I was in my hometown, Zhuo Jing also visited my grandpa. You didn't bump into him."
Cheng Baize shook his head with a slight smile: "I really wanted to hit him. I still remember the losses I suffered back then. How can I not be worthy of my hard training for so many years if I am not shameful?"
"Hey, it's not over, right?"
I looked at him askance: "If you two keep doing this, how can you participate in my marriage to him?"
Cheng Baize yelled and stood up directly, "You're really thinking too far! You're still getting married?! Ma Jiaolong, are you ready for something big?"
I rolled my eyes: "Yes, but I must marry Zhuo Jing, otherwise..."
"Stop it!"
Cheng Baize, who was standing in front of me, relaxed his shoulders: "Stop taking it for granted. You haven't even taken care of his mother yet and you still want to get married. This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year... Okay,
I'm going back first. I have something else to meet tomorrow morning, so I won't go and say goodbye to your grandpa. If I go, I'll definitely have to talk about getting married. Anyway, think about it for yourself, and then come to me after you think about it.
Call me so I can find someone to make a fake certificate."
I didn't say anything, and looked at Cheng Baize who was raising his feet to leave, took out his mobile phone and sat next to me: "What are you doing?"
He didn't speak, but pointed the camera at the two of us: "You can't take a group photo to give false evidence. Come on, Eggplant!"
"Go aside! You're as big as an eggplant!"
With a 'click', Cheng Baize stood up immediately and murmured: "Fortunately, I captured the photo in time. Although your face looks like a resentful woman, you can still make do with it. I'll wait for your call later to give false evidence."
It will take two or three days, so don’t delay it for too long. Grandpa’s physical condition will suffer if he delays it for another day!”
I stretched out my hand to rub my temples and sighed softly: "Cheng Baize, if you marry a wife in the future, will she be jealous of the fact that you have paid so much for our family?"
He picked up his mobile phone: "No, because I will be better to her, Ma Jiaolong, then you will have to stay cool and stay! You should be jealous of her!"
With that said, Cheng Baize waved his hand at me with a smile, turned around and walked directly to the elevator, "Hurry back to the ward and take care of your grandpa. Brother Xiao Ma, I'm waiting for your call!"
I made a sound, and it wasn't until he entered the elevator that I smiled helplessly. Having a friend like Cheng Baize should be a great blessing in my life. He was right, I am too pretentious and useless.
I always think too much about things. I don’t think I will ask questions like this again in the future. If I talk too much, I always feel that it is a bit insulting to Cheng Baize. People are kind enough to help take care of my family and share the burden for me.
, and he made a mistake? This means he has a good temper, otherwise he should have rewarded me with an electric cannon every time I said something like a spare tire!
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Ma Jiaolong, you shameless narcissist.
I got up and walked to my grandpa's ward while taking out my mobile phone and dialing Zhuo Jing's number. It showed the power off status. I dialed Xiao Tian directly. It was still off. I pursed my lips. It must have been on a plane. Recently.
He is very busy and doesn't have many phone calls. I think the only regret is that as his closest girlfriend, I can't help him much at work. There are some things I don't dare to think about. I want to marry him.
, be together, have children, but apart from these, I don’t know what I can do, just be a housewife. When I think of this, various thoughts will collide, and then, I will feel inexplicable fear.
Grandpa fell asleep, and Aunt Sun was dozing on the nursing bed next to me. I sat on the chair next to Grandpa's hospital bed, dazed by myself. Zhuo Yuncheng asked me about the yin and yang relationship between chopsticks. Obviously, he
I feel that the wife his son is looking for should be someone who can match his chopsticks. Putting aside Jiang Meiyuan’s character, she and Zhuo Yuncheng should be considered as having worked side by side in their careers. But as for Zhuo Jing and I, I
It could have helped him, but I had to give up this high energy when I was with him... Oh, God really didn't just try to push me.
"Jiaolong."
I don’t know how long it took, but my grandpa opened his eyes and called my name in a low voice. I pulled back and said, "What's wrong, grandpa, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Grandpa shook his head: "Xiao Bai is gone?"
"Well, he's back. You fell asleep just now. He has something to attend to tomorrow morning."
Grandpa snorted and sighed softly, "What were you two talking about?"
I didn't respond, and stretched out my hand to tuck the quilt for my grandpa: "Grandpa, why don't you like Zhuo Jing? He is really good to me. Even the carnations he gave you, he also put his heart into it."
"Are you careful when giving carnations?"
As soon as my grandfather heard Zhuo Jing's name, there was a bit of disdain in his eyes: "Why didn't I see it?"
I raised my eyebrows: "The roses are too bright, the lilies are too plain, the daffodils are poisonous, and potted plants are not suitable. No matter how high or low they are, carnations are the natural choice for elders sent to the hospital."
"You understand again. Why don't you understand when I ask you this at home?"
I smiled: "It's not that I understand Hua'er, it's that I understand Zhuo Jing's intentions."
Grandpa snorted softly: "No matter how hard he works, will he be as careful as Xiaobai? Yes, I know he is the big boss, and in Xiaosun's words, he is busy, and I don't need him to spend so much time to see me, Xiaobai
He's busy too. He has been with me since your father first left. Jiaolong, where can I find such a good young man as Xiaobai? He is kind and has no temper. Why don't you open your eyes?"
As he said that, my grandpa sighed again when he saw that I didn't answer: "Xiaobai's family doesn't have that many messy things, and as for Zhuo Jing, he is rich and must look down on our natal family. Grandpa
I’m not afraid of anything else, I’m just afraid that you’ll be wronged. No matter how good Zhuo Jing is, no matter how much he likes you, as for his family, if they can accept you...ah!!”
I shook my grandpa's hand: "Grandpa, can you tell me why you have to let me marry Cheng Baize? Even if you don't agree with me being with Zhuo Jing, you don't have to force me to go with Cheng Baize."
Just pull it together."
"You don't understand. I just like Xiaobai. I like him from the bottom of my heart. I liked him at first sight, and then I liked him more and more. There is nothing wrong with that kid's character. I haven't told you anything for so many years, and that kid
I don’t mean anything I say to you, and you don’t have to tell me this or that, I’ve made up my mind, I will be my master before I die, and I will definitely make your decision for you!”
I got angry and said, "Grandpa, can you not say anything about death or death? Dr. Han has already said that there will be no problems with the operation!!"
"But my brain is not good! Jiaolong, grandpa knows that he can't stand up for a day. He lives just for you. You said that even if grandpa recovers from the operation, what should he do if his brain doesn't work well? This is what he wants to do.
I'm going under the knife. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it even if I'm alive. Even if you get married in the future, my mind will still remember the fact that you are not settled. I have Alzheimer's disease. I am too sick for this disease.
knew!"
As he said that, his grandfather took the painkillers on the bedside table with a look of enduring pain and threw two pills into his mouth: "And the medicine I'm taking now, I know it's bad for the brain, but I don't take it.
The pain in my legs is unbearable, and you still have to suffer with me, Jiaolong, grandpa just wants to live a good life without causing trouble to you, can you just let me put this down before the operation!!"
I handed the water to my grandpa and took a sip. As soon as I put the water glass down, my grandpa actually picked up the medicine bottle again. Now I became anxious: "Grandpa, you just took it!"
"No, I just drink water. No, I have to take two pills, otherwise I won't be able to resist."
I put the medicine bottle directly into my pocket: "Old Ma Tou, you treat me like a three-year-old child. You can't forget it so quickly. Just scare me on purpose!"
Seeing that his 'treacherous plot' did not succeed, my grandfather immediately tugged on the quilt and said, "Anyway, my brain is getting more and more exhausted day by day. I don't know why I don't know anything anymore. Anyway, if I don't see your wedding,
Zheng, if I don’t see someone taking care of you, I won’t let go, so I’ll just keep going!”
"But I have someone else in my heart. Even if Cheng Baize and I have received a marriage certificate, aren't you afraid that I will divorce him? Then the result won't be the same."
"Can it be the same? With a marriage certificate, you are husband and wife. Relationships can be cultivated. Your grandma and I just haven't been in love. Isn't it the same? Now I can't wait for you to cultivate your relationship first. Anyway,
Just get the certificate first, and then I’ll feel relieved after seeing the testimony.”
"You old man...you are really..."
"What the hell, I'm just doing it for you. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to sleep. I'll wait for Xiaobai to come tomorrow so I can play chess with him!"
"Old Ma Tou, you're so angry that I've got you!"
After saying a few words, I turned around and walked out of the ward, leaned against the wall in the corridor, touched the medicine bottle in my pocket, took out my cell phone, and sent a text message directly to Cheng Baize, 'Get a fake ID.'
Within three minutes, Cheng Baize replied with two words in an unusually concise manner: "Received."
I sighed, he must have expected it, my grandpa is my weakness, because I can't watch my grandpa go to the day of relying on painkillers, the certificate is fake, it won't delay us anything, regardless of grandpa
No matter how angry I was afterwards, I had to let him do the surgery first, but I had to let Zhuo Jing know about this to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
…
"Have you thought about it?"
I nodded.
"You didn't lie to me?"
I shook my head.
In the morning, after grandpa finished breakfast and took medicine, I calmly told him my thoughts, "Can I inform Dr. Han to finalize the time for your operation now?"
Grandpa looked at me suspiciously and said, "I want to call Xiaobai."
"He's busy."
I emphasized: "He has something to do in the morning. And isn't this what you have always thought about? Now that I have agreed, you still don't believe it?"
Grandpa looked at me with furrowed brows: "You girl, you're so evil-minded, I'm afraid you'll lie to me, but Xiaobai won't lie to me."
I let out a long breath: "Nah, can you ask him personally when he comes? But grandpa, you can't tell my mother about this first. It's too hasty and may easily scare the relatives at home.
"
Grandpa muttered: "I want to see the certificate. If I have the certificate, I will agree to the operation. I don't believe what you say."
"Yes!" I raised my hand: "Do you want proof? When Cheng Baize finishes his work, I will go with him to get it. I promise to let you hold it in your hands for the operation!"
Grandpa felt comfortable now and glanced at Aunt Sun: "Xiao Sun, I won't take any painkillers in the morning. I feel better and I can hold it back!"
Aunt Sun felt something was wrong, so she took my hand and pulled me out of the door: "Xiao Lin, the old man is old and a bit like a child. You can't be impulsive. I looked at that Zhuo Jing very much.
Okay, you can be with whomever you like, this marriage is not a child's play."
I nodded and patted the back of Aunt Sun's hand: "I know Aunt Sun, please don't worry about this matter for now. Letting my grandpa do the surgery first is better than anything else."
Seeing this, Aunt Sun said nothing more and shook her head: "Sometimes old people can be willful enough for young people to drink a pot!"
I didn't say anything, but stood directly at the door of the ward and dialed Zhuo Jing's cell phone again. This time he answered the phone after it rang a few times, and walked a few steps along the corridor to a quiet place: "Are you busy?
."
"Fortunately, my dad and I are attending an auction and we are getting ready to enter."
"Oh, I have something to tell you. I called you last night and turned off the phone."
"We were on the plane. It was already very late when we got here. I was afraid that you would have a rest so I didn't call you to find out how your grandpa is doing."
"Doctor Han said that we need to prepare for surgery in the next two days."
"Okay, I'll rush back as soon as I'm done. I haven't looked at you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
I gently raised the corners of my mouth: "Hey... your voice is so low, are there many people around you?"
"What do you think, wait until I get back...Mr. Zhuo, this way, it's your turn to enter."
I was a little anxious, and I hadn’t even said a few words yet: “Hey, Zhuo Jing, I haven’t told you anything yet!”
"Are you anxious?"
"My grandpa needs surgery but he..."
"We'll tell you when I get back, be good, I'll rush back as soon as possible."
I put down the phone and frowned. It seemed like a simple matter, but I couldn't explain it clearly in a few sentences. According to Zhuo Jing's character, his first reaction would be to get angry and he would be indiscriminate.
Just kill him and come back. I still have to worry about Zhuo Yuncheng. I patted my forehead and said, forget it, maybe everything will be settled when Zhuo Jing comes back. I just wait for grandpa to enter the operating room and then everything will be fine.
!
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone buzzed again. I glanced at the caller and said, "Hello, Brother Qi?"
"Haha, Jiaolong, it's me, don't bother me."
Listening to Qi Tianyou's hearty laughter, I raised my eyebrows and said, "No, Brother Qi, are you looking for me for something?"
"Have you forgotten what my elder brother told you before? It's about Xiao Shu!"
I was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten, it was Brother Qi who said he wanted to see Cheng Baize in person before making a decision... Wait, Brother Qi, are you here?"
"Hahaha, yes, I am very curious about that boy. Jiaolong, why don't you please invite that Cheng Baize to come and meet him."
"Brother Qi, why are you so polite to me? Let's do this. I'll find a place to host..."
"Don't bother me. I'm afraid you'll be polite to me. We're brothers. I've booked the place a long time ago. I want to meet a friend with Xiao Shu during the day. I'll give you the address. Remember to take Cheng Baize with you tonight.
Just come here, I'll be waiting for you in the hotel private room at seven o'clock!"
I smiled: "Okay, let's see you tonight!"
I hung up the phone and immediately dialed Cheng Baize. There was no answer. He must have been busy. Generally, we are used to turning off the phone or muting it when looking at things. I glanced at the time and sent him a text message, '
Remember to call me back when you're done, I'll see you if I need anything.' (To be continued)
