Chapter 157 Xie Grandma’s heart (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
In the windy courtyard.
After returning to the small courtyard, Zhang Wentao, Xu Hongdou and Hu Youyu chatted for a while, then went back to their respective rooms to tidy up. They took out the clothes that needed to be washed and put away the things they brought back.
Xu Hongdou looked at the bell in her bag. After taking it out, she looked at the bell on the tree that was swinging in the wind and making a crisp sound. She closed her eyes and listened quietly for a while.
This is a bell that two people bought together.
"What, do you want to hang up yourself, or should I help you?"
Xu Hongdou was still feeling the comfort brought by the breeze when Zhang Wentao's voice came to her ears. She opened her eyes and looked at him with a frown:
"Of course it's up to you to hang up."
With that said, she handed the bell to Zhang Wentao.
Zhang Wentao took it and smiled and said, "I can't survive it myself."
After saying that, under the puzzled gaze of the other party, he looked down the second floor, then took out his mobile phone and called Hu Youyu, asking him to come out and help move the ladder.
"I said you two are really good at it." Hu Youyu took out the ladder from the backyard and complained as he walked over: "You have to hang a bell to make me eat dog food next to you, eh."
Complaints are complaints, but he is still very happy in his heart.
"How about I help you and you watch from the side." Xu Hongdou said with a smile on his face.
"Forget it."
Hu Youyu set up the ladder, shook it a bit to make sure it was OK, and then said to Zhang Wentao: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up."
Zhang Wentao shook the ladder uneasily, gritted his back molars, and with hesitation and panic, climbed up step by step with the bell.
Seeing his cautious look, Hu Youyu felt anxious and urged: "Can you do it?"
"I..." Zhang Wentao stuck his shell, swallowed his saliva, struggled for a second, and his voice was trembling: "Don't rush me, I'm afraid of heights..."
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, her cheeks flushed because she was laughing so happily.
No wonder this guy didn't want to sit by the window on the plane.
At first, she thought the other party wanted her to see more scenery.
No wonder this guy wants to call Hu Youyu
"What else is wrong with you? Please tell me quickly." Xu Hongdou raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, raising his head from below.
Zhang Wentao was extremely nervous up there.
He is really afraid of heights. As long as the place where he stands is too narrow and the distance is more than one meter, he will become frightened.
However, he insisted on hanging up the bell in the end. When he came down, the shirt he just put on was a little wet.
When Xu Hongdou helped him down the ladder, she squeezed his arm and said, "I don't see why a big man like you is so timid."
"This is not cowardice." Zhang Wentao retorted.
Xu Hongdou looked him up and down and couldn't help but laugh again, but she didn't say anything cowardly.
The most depressing thing was Hu Youyu, who had to help hold up a ladder and eat dog food. He thought that if the girl he met in the bar on WeChat last night had not rejected him, at this moment, he would have
Sweet love.
"Lao Hu, where did you get the ladder? I'll put it down." Zhang Wentao exhaled a long breath and closed the ladder.
Hu Youyu shook his head and took over and said, "You two go and do your work first. Didn't I listen to Hongdou and want to see Grandma Xie? Just leave this to me."
"Well, thank you."
Thinking of agreeing to Xu Hongdou, Zhang Wentao didn't show off to Hu Youyu. After saying something with a smile, he looked at Xu Hongdou: "Is it better to go now or at night?"
Xu Hongdou thought for a while: "Now, I looked over from the window just now, Grandma Xie is at home."
"good."
Zhang Wentao clapped his hands casually and went upstairs to help Xu Hongdou get something.
Xu Hongdou prepared quite a lot for the elderly. They were all selected at the airport. When he was buying them, Zhang Wentao could tell that these were for the elderly.
He thought Xu Hongdou prepared it for his parents.
Unexpectedly, it was for Grandma Xie.
Walking downstairs with bags of things, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "You have such a good relationship with Xie Zhiyao's grandma?"
"Well, that's right." Xu Hongdou walked down the steps with a smile, fixed her hair naturally and said, "Grandma Xie cooks delicious food and is a very nice person. She often tells me stories about her youth."
"Staying by her side feels like I was staying by my own grandma's side."
"And they both smell very similar."
As she walked and talked, Zhang Wentao noticed that when she was thanking her grandma, the look in Xu Hongdou's eyes showed that she was missing and depending on her relatives.
"Oh." He nodded as he followed behind.
When we arrived at Xie Zhiyao's house, Grandma Xie was indeed sitting in the living room on the first floor.
As soon as Xu Hongdou walked in with a kind-hearted look, a smile appeared on her face. However, when she saw Zhang Wentao, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but she always kept a smile on her face.
"Thank you grandma, I came to see you, and here are the things I brought back for you." Xu Hongdou smiled and asked Zhang Wentao to put the things down.
Zhang Wentao took this opportunity and nodded to Grandma Xie.
The smile on his face is neither affectionate, nor warm, nor cold, nor awkward, just a very casual smile.
Grandma Xie nodded. She took Xu Hongdou's hand and said, "No, you can take such expensive things back and send them to your parents. Grandma is old, and it would be a waste to eat these."
Zhang Wentao, who came into close contact with Grandma Xie for the first time, took a closer look at the old man. As Xu Hongdou said, he was indeed the kind and kind old man.
Some things can be shown through disguise, but the tears of love and satisfaction shown in Xu Hongdou's eyes after being touched by her filial piety cannot lie.
"Grandma, my parents also have some. I bought this specially for you, so just accept it. If you like which one to eat, tell me and I will buy it for you online."
Xu Hongdou held the old man's hand and gently expressed his heart.
The two of them talked and chatted. After Xie Grandma declined, she saw that Xu Hongdou was insistent and said nothing more. After sitting down, she glanced at Zhang Wentao who was silent, took Xu Hongdou's hand and tried to test it.
asked:
"Hongdou, I heard Ayao say that you went out to do something. Did it go smoothly?"
"It went well. Didn't you come back as soon as this is done?"
"You went with this young man who lives in the courtyard?"
"Yes." Xu Hongdou smiled and nodded, then looked back at Zhang Wentao, leaned close to Grandma Xie and said in a gentle voice: "Grandma, he is my boyfriend now."
"What?!" Grandma Xie was shocked when she heard this.
Xu Hongdou looked at Xu Hongdou in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Wentao with disbelief.
She felt in her heart that it was no wonder that the other party came with her. At the same time, she never saw how this young man, who was about the same age as his grandson, could compare to her own grandson.
Zhang Wentao, who has always been like an outsider, also read a lot from the other person's eyes.
But he didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
If it were his grandma, the other party would definitely think the same way. This kind of thing is nothing surprising and should be taken to heart.
"I'm not lying to you, grandma." Xu Hongdou patted Xie grandma's hand gently and said, "It's true. We just got together. I won't joke about this kind of thing."
"That…"
Grandma Xie looked at Xu Hongdou and then at Zhang Wentao.
I feel a little stuck and panicked in my heart.
This feeling comes from many aspects.
She felt that Xu Hongdou had found a guy who didn't know how to respect the elderly; she felt that what happened between her and her grandson was a pity; she also lamented that Yunmiao Village was too small, poor and broken compared to big cities...
Finally, the old man sighed inwardly: Hey, if he were in good health, Ayao wouldn't have to come back to take care of him and could stay in BJ.
