Just as Shen Qinghuan was still organizing her words in her mind, wondering how to talk to her family later...
The call was already connected.
Only an old man's cheerful voice came from the receiver.
: "Hello? Who is this?"
: "Grandpa, it's me."
Shen Qinghuan took the receiver from the operator and answered loudly.
"Xiao Huan, I guessed it was you who called."
The smiling voice of the old man of the Shen family came from the other end of the receiver.
"Didn't you say you'd be back after being assigned to Jiang Province for about a month and a half?"
: "Why did you take so long?"
: "Are you coming back for the New Year?"
Mr. Shen's questions came one after another.
For a moment, Shen Qinghuan didn't know which question to answer first.
He was silent for two seconds, his eyes were deep.
"Grandpa, this year... I shouldn't go back for the New Year."
"Oh? Are there any work matters that have not been finished?" Mr. Shen said slowly and calmly.
Shen Qinghuan lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and whispered,
:" no."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and spoke slowly, word by word.
: "Grandpa, is my dad home?"
Mr. Shen listened to his grandson's tone, and the hand holding the enamel pot paused for a moment.
"Your dad has been busy these days. He just finished his meal and went out."
"What's going on? Did something happen?"
Mr. Shen's expression suddenly became serious.
: "Grandpa, nothing happened, don't worry."
Afraid that his grandfather would misunderstand, Shen Qinghuan quickly explained.
original,
He wanted to tell his old father about this first.
Then my father will tell my grandparents.
In this way...
Even my grandparents were very emotional after hearing the news.
There is also someone around who can take care of them and comfort them.
But he didn't expect...
Today's phone call was so unfortunate.
His old father actually went out early today.
Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Thinking about this now...seems too late.
Be quiet for a moment.
He took a deep breath.
As if he had made up his mind,
He hesitated and said,
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you. You'd better be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen frowned slightly, and a look of dignity appeared on his face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be so nagging."
"I, your grandfather, have experienced countless hardships in my life. I have seen all kinds of storms and waves."
Shen Qinghuan opened her lips slightly...
The following words were stuck in my throat.
：……………
very good!
I hope you can still be so tough later.
Originally, Shen Qinghuan was planning to say a few euphemistic words to pave the way.
But at this moment...
He decided not to delay any longer.
Straight to the point,
"Grandpa, I found our little aunt."
Mr. Shen's hand holding the enamel pot trembled slightly.
Some tea overflowed from the enamel pot...
It fell on the back of his wrinkled hand, wetting a small area of his cuff.
Fortunately... the temperature of the tea was not hot, so it was not a big deal.
He quickly put the enamel pot in his hand on the table.
As if he hadn't heard what his grandson had just said, he asked in a deep and uncertain voice,
"Xiao Huan, what did you just say?"
After saying that, he reached out and rubbed his ears.
I wonder if I just hallucinated...
