Late at night, after school, they didn't go home. One was thirteen, the other eighteen. In the eyes of older people, they were just two half-grown kids. What were they doing? What a wonderful time!
What they don’t know is that an eighteen-year-old can’t catch up with a thirteen-year-old.
Chu Ci suppressed his sadness, grabbed Bi Yue's arm, and hid under the poplar tree at the entrance of the compound.
How embarrassing! Don't cry at the gate. It's time to get off work. There are people coming and going!
The cold wind was blowing and the sound of sniffing could be heard all around.
Both of them used a calm yet depressed tone to express their sadness and burst into tears.
Bi Yue handed Chu Ci white toilet paper: "Wipe it."
Just from this, we can see that Bi Yue's life has changed a lot. Now that she has money, she has abandoned the pink crepe paper and replaced it with white tissue paper that costs a few cents more.
"You wipe it too." Chu Ci kept turning his head and looking up at the sky sadly.
Chu Ci didn't ask Bi Yue why she was crying, but Bi Yue was not as cool as the boy, so she asked:
"What's wrong with you? Boys are crying. Why are you crying?"
The voice of a man who is in the process of voice change: "My brother went to the battlefield. The sword and gun are indiscriminate. My father died there. My brother..."
Bi Yue paused while twisting her nose, her eyes wide open:
"What? What battlefield?" She lived in another dimension? How had she never heard of war?!
It's hard for a college student born in the 1990s who never pays attention to history to be so ignorant.
And ever since she arrived in Kyoto, she'd seen life flourish! There were discotheques and ballroom dancing in the park, and the administrators had to ride bicycles and wave red armbands to chase people away.
Why is there still war?
Chu Ci frowned and looked at Bi Yue with disdain:
"You? Don't you know what's happening three thousand kilometers away from us?"
Bi Yue didn't care what happened, she was just concerned about what happened to Chu Yifeng. After all this time, he disappeared from the hospital that day and went to the battlefield!
"No, don't say anything useless. Where is he now? What's the matter? Are you crying... Has he come back? Has he been gone for two months? Do you know that his Xin'er is injured?!"
Bi Yue's tone changed when she said the last sentence. Her voice was crisp and clear, and one could hear her anxiety. She even shredded the toilet paper.
…
While the two were talking outside the compound, the old lady of the Chu family inside the compound shouted even louder than Bi Yue, who was in her prime.
"What? What the hell?!"
The small aluminum basin of frozen sand apples and frozen persimmons that the old lady was holding fell to the ground. Those were the snacks that she loved to chew and sip the sour juice.
Liang Yinqiu really didn't want to call the compound, although it was unlikely that her mother-in-law would answer the phone because she couldn't understand a word. Old Liu had always been in charge of this, but what if her mother-in-law answered the phone?
The person she least wants to communicate with is the old lady. Without the old lady, she wouldn't have come to this point with Chu Hongtian!
But he was angry. Chu Yifeng was pushed out of the operating room. Although he had not yet worn off the anesthetic and was not awake, all the necessary preparations had to be made.
The washbasin, food, drinks and other daily necessities can all be bought by the brother-in-law, but Chu Yifeng’s spare clothes cannot be worn just by buying them from the mall!
When the call was first picked up, Liang Yinqiu felt relieved when he heard that it was Lao Liu who answered the phone. He naturally told Lao Liu what to take and which ward in the hospital to go to.
But she didn't expect that her mother-in-law was just an ordinary person.
The old lady has been staring at the phone these days, waiting for Liang Yinqiu to call home to pick up her clothes and luggage, so that she can say a few words and scold her a few times!
The old lady also understood in the past two days that this time her eldest son had a problem with her, which made her very passive, and naturally she hated her eldest daughter-in-law even more!
If she didn't have any objections, she would have asked directly why. She was still confused and didn't know that her son was not nice to her.
In the past, her son Datianer always said that she was overthinking it, "Mom, no objection, you're just overthinking it," and that was usually the answer!
But this time it was different! Datianer said that her words were rude and touched the heart of the eldest daughter-in-law, saying that she was cursing her eldest grandson by saying that!
She cursed her eldest grandson?! She's not senile, when has she ever cursed him?!
Alas! He married a wife and forgot his mother!
That eldest daughter-in-law was a little devil even when she was young. Now she's so old, she's still a devil. Once she moved out, she died and never came back. She controlled her eldest son and even put the blame on her own mother! She said she cursed her grandson. Who would believe it?! This is the eldest daughter-in-law's nonsense!
You say this guy made her angry. When she couldn't sleep at night, she would think of swear words, for fear that she would not be able to speak fluently when she got older.
For two months, the phone rang every day, but there was no call from Liang Yinqiu. Today, the phone rang again, and the old lady naturally leaned over to Old Liu to eavesdrop.
Aunt Liu was embarrassed and helpless. She held the microphone and the old lady held her arm, and she couldn't remind Liang Yinqiu on the phone in person.
That’s why the old lady has a loud voice.
Old Mrs. Chu was so frightened and shocked that her heart was pounding. She didn't care about cursing and snatched the phone.
"Liang Yinqiu! What happened to my eldest grandson? Ah? Tell me!" The old lady was so angry that she started crying while holding the phone.
Whether the crying was real or fake, Liang Yinqiu, who had lived for most of her life, could still hear it clearly. Although she didn't say the words "please don't cry", she still said it. Her attitude was ordinary, but it also brought out the habit of getting along between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades:
"It's in Room 201 of the Military Region Hospital's inpatient department. Wait for Xiaoci to come back and take you out. Don't get lost again!"
