Chapter 284 Tanabata(1/3)
"..." Tao Zi decided to avoid the topic, still very interested in Mo Wang's actions just now, "Ning Heitan, why did Mo Wang think of hugging me just now?"
Ning Zhenqian was silent for a while and said, "I don't know either. Maybe he saw us doing this action more times with his own eyes, so he imitated it. However, he must not be able to hold it because he doesn't know how hard to use it...
"
"Yeah..." Tao Zi remembered that the two times she fell in front of Mo Wang, Ning Zhenqian hugged her and ran away. Maybe Mo Wang was really imitating it.
However, the two falls were all because of Mo Wang, especially the first time when she lost her little girl. She felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but loosen the hand holding Mo Wang...
"He has a very good memory. He should remember you. Didn't I say it? He couldn't learn some moves even after teaching him many times, but he suddenly learned them again inadvertently. I held you when you fell.
, I hugged my mother when she was sick, and he saw it, so maybe he remembered it..."
Tao Zi's thoughts were wandering in Xiaonan's past, and she was no longer listening to what he said. Unable to help herself, she finally let go of Mo Wang's hand, and Mo Wang's hand was empty, and he actually glanced at her.
It paused slightly in the air for a while before putting it down.
Tao Zi looked at this scene and felt even more sad...
————————————————————————————————
In her life, she didn't actually see Ning Zhenqian very often. Although she was in the same city, after the weekend, she wouldn't see him for several days. However, there were quite a lot of phone calls from him, and the first number of each phone call was
One of the content is to ask her where she is. If she says she is on the set, he will appear in front of her within half an hour. If she says she is somewhere else, then he may just chat with her.
She thought, in fact, he was also very busy. Yan Zhuang had always been very guilty when he was hospitalized this time. After work, he would probably focus a lot of energy on his parents and son. For this, she was very supportive and shouldered his responsibility.
I'm carrying too much...
Moreover, now she really doesn't dare to get too close to him, doesn't dare...
Sometimes, I feel that this distance is quite good.
She would have a great time chatting with him, and she would also argue with him and be a little bit petty. It seemed that he was still a very important friend and relative in her life. She would not feel lonely walking alone in this huge city.
, just like the first few years in Beijing, there is a place of warmth and freedom in my heart.
She enjoyed this warmth somewhat selfishly, the warmth that only belonged to her and him, and this distance was the most suitable to enjoy this warmth. No matter how close it was, it would involve many other things. That warmth,
She is no longer innocent, she is also a little afraid, or in other words, resists instinctively...
Another week had passed when I received another call from him.
"Nanny, where are you?" he asked, his usual opening line.
"Code!" She was unable to respond to this question...
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Tomorrow? It’s not the weekend? “What’s the matter?”
"Tomorrow is grandma's eightieth birthday. Grandma mentioned you. If you have time, come and have a meal."
"It's my eightieth birthday!" Logically speaking, the elderly people had specially invited her, so it was her turn to go, and her grandma was kind to her at first, but what does it mean to go? It seemed a little embarrassing.
"Yes! Do you have time? I'll pick you up at five o'clock."
"No need! Tell me the location and the specific meal time, and I'll do it myself." She thought that if she really didn't want to go then, she would just ask Lulu to bring a gift.
"Okay! Come to Brother Zuo's main store at five o'clock tomorrow."
"Yeah, remember!"
"Then...see you tomorrow?" He seemed worried in his tone.
"...Okay, see you tomorrow..." She was also a little hesitant, but I might not see you tomorrow...
Just as he was about to say goodbye to him, there was some movement over there, and the voices of several people talking were heard. Then, Ning Zhenqian spoke again, "Nanny, grandma wants to talk to you."
"Oh..." She held her phone stupidly.
"Granddaughter-in-law!" Grandma's name was astonishing...
Tao Zi was a little helpless and couldn't argue with the old man, so he could only call out in a low voice, "Grandma..."
"Hey, is grandson's wife calling grandma? The voice is so low? Grandma can't hear it with her hard of hearing! She still doesn't want to call grandma, so she calls reluctantly?"
"No, grandma..." Tao Zi could only increase her voice.
"It's okay if you don't have it!" Grandma smiled, "My grandson, Xiao Zhen said you would come to see me tomorrow, old guy, right?"
Although Tao Zi felt embarrassed, the old man said so in person, so how could she refuse? She had no choice but to accept it.
Grandma was very happy, "That's great! Granddaughter-in-law! Then I will wait for you tomorrow! The seat next to me is reserved for you! This person is old and always looks forward to the excitement, reunion, and gatherings.
One day at a time, one day is less! Maybe one day when I kick my feet, I won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow, and I won’t be able to see it even if I want to..."
"Grandma!" She on this side and him on the other side said in unison, calling grandma at the same time.
Grandma laughed, "Okay! Okay! Stop saying these depressing words! My grandson and grandson's wife don't like to hear it! Grandson's wife, please remember to come tomorrow!"
Grandma's repeated warnings made Tao Zi feel very uncomfortable, especially the sentence that if we get together less often, we might not see each other one day, it reminded her of her grandpa...
So, the next day she struggled with the question of whether to go or not.
Seeing the afternoon, she could no longer escape, so she called Xia Wanlu, "Lulu, are you going to eat later?"
"Eat? Where to eat?" Xia Wanlu asked strangely.
Huh? Lulu doesn’t know? You’re having a treat at Zuo Chenyuan’s shop, but you don’t invite people from the Zuo family? She couldn’t talk much, so she immediately said, “It’s nothing, I remembered it wrong, Lulu, don’t mind!”
"Remember wrong? I thought you were going to treat me to dinner!" Xia Wanlu said jokingly.
"Then... next time! I will treat you to dinner next time, tomorrow, how about it?" Tao Zi was embarrassed.
"Not tomorrow! What day is tomorrow? I want to spend it with my husband!" Xia Wan smiled.
What day is tomorrow? Anyway, the time spent with her husband has nothing to do with her...
"Okay, then you decide the time! Any time! Okay?"
"That's pretty much it! Just wait for my call!" Xia Wanlu smiled and hung up the phone.
Just after the call was hung up, the ringtone rang again immediately, and the caller ID was Brother Tangtang...
It seems there is no way to escape...
As soon as she answered the call, it was Ning's voice that came, "My granddaughter! Are you here? Is there a traffic jam on the road? We are waiting for you to come before we start dinner!"
Grandma is forcing her to go...
Tao Zi had a big head, "Grandma, how is that possible? How can I, a junior, keep so many people waiting?!"
"Today I am the biggest! I will wait for whoever I say to wait for! No one dares to have an opinion! Old and young, old and young are just children. I will be willful this time! Don't be anxious. Slow down on the road.
We are waiting for you!"
Now Tao Zi had no reason not to go. She packed up as quickly as possible, hurried out the door and went straight to Zuo Chenyuan's head office.
I thought that Grandma Ning’s eightieth birthday would be a grand banquet filled with guests, but unexpectedly, there was only a private room with two tables, and only people from the Ning family were seated...
As expected, the dishes on both tables have been served, waiting for her to start the meal...
She called grandma, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.
The seat next to Grandma Ning was really empty. As soon as she saw her, Grandma Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted her, "My granddaughter-in-law! Come on! Come and sit here!"
"Grandma..." How could she speak in front of so many people and ask grandma to stop calling her grandson's wife? Everyone here knew that she was no longer Ning Zhenqian's wife, and there was no point in her stressing or explaining...
She looked around the two tables. At the other table, there were four brothers and four daughters-in-law of the Ning family, plus one Mo Wang. Nine people gathered at the table. On this side, there were grandma, Ning Zhiqian and his wife, and Xu Xiaoshuai.
And Ning Yuqian, of course, Ning Zhenqian and his fourth brother, plus her, eight people.
Not every table is full...
She suddenly thought of Miao Miao and her daughter...
They can never appear in such an occasion...
However, according to Miaomiao's temperament, I'm afraid she wishes she would never appear, and wishes she had nothing to do with the Ning family!
When I thought about it this way, the heaviness in my heart became less heavy.
It can be said that she greeted everyone in the Ning family shamelessly, but deliberately put the second child of the Ning family at the end. However, she really couldn't overcome the obstacles in her heart and couldn't say "Second Uncle"
, so Dudu did not call him, but sat next to her according to ***'s call. At the same time, he also sat next to Ning Zhenqian...
There is no doubt that this is a deliberate arrangement.
"Grandma! This is for you. May you be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than the Southern Mountains!" She gave a gold bracelet to her grandma. Since she didn't plan to come, she didn't really prepare a gift. She just bought it on the way here.
"This girl! It's enough to accompany grandma to dinner, what else can I buy as a gift! Yes, I'll accept it! I have to accept my granddaughter-in-law's kindness! Here I am, if I give my granddaughter-in-law another gadget, don't think it's too small!" Grandma said
He took off a pair of emerald earrings he was wearing and handed them to Ning Zhenqian, "Xiao Zhen, wipe them with wine and put them on your wife!"
Tao Zi was really anxious this time. How could he call her daughter-in-law again? "Grandma! I'm not..."
But Grandma Ning patted her hand and interrupted her decisively, "What's not it? What's not it? Do you suspect that Grandma's earrings are not real?"
"No..." Facing the shrewd grandma, she couldn't explain clearly...
"Really?" Grandma Ning hissed, and everyone laughed.
Ning Yuqian shook her body and acted coquettishly, "Grandma! You just love my elder brother! Give all the good things to your elder sister-in-law! You don't love me at all anymore!"
