A foreign city, dear you

The next day, Thursday

Because I just took a unit test, some students’ results were not ideal.

So after school that afternoon, Ye Lian stayed with these classmates and gave them individual tutoring.

Ye Lian returned home late.

When Lan Shan saw her mother coming back, she jumped up like a happy little rabbit.

He has been waiting for his mother for a long time. He wants her to take him out to play.

Just play, even though it's getting late and you won't be able to play for long.

Ye Lian took a short rest and prepared to take Lan Shan downstairs to play.

These days, Lanshan has made acquaintance with a child who is about the same age as him, and the two often play together.

Sometimes Ye Lian doesn't have time or moves slowly, Lan Shan will keep urging her.

"Goodbye, grandma!" Lan Shan greeted her grandma.

"Goodbye Shanshan!" Grandma Lanshan responded very kindly.

"Mom, I'll take Shanshan out to play." Ye Lian also greeted Grandma Lanshan.

But there was no response. Grandma Lanshan was obviously beside her, but she didn't seem to hear her.

Ye Lian felt that Grandma Shan did it on purpose, but she didn't care about it. I just wondered in my heart: What happened to Grandma Lanshan?

Ye Lian said nothing more, took Lanshan's hand and went downstairs, still thinking about Lanshan's grandma's abnormality.

Ye Lian came back last night. She was tired from the home visit, so she took a shower early and went to bed.

Since this morning, Ye Lian has felt that there is something wrong with Grandma Lanshan, and she is always irritating and ignoring everything she says to her.

She felt that there must be something on Grandma Lanshan's mind, but Grandma Lanshan didn't tell her, and she didn't bother to ask. Besides, she knew that asking would be in vain.

Ye Lian and Lan Shan had just gone downstairs for a while when they saw Lan Shan's grandma also coming downstairs, looking like she was about to go out.

"Grandma, where are you going?" Lan Shan asked grandma.

"Grandma forgot to buy fruit today, would you like to go to the market to buy some fruit for Shanshan?" Although Lanshan's grandma ignored Ye Lian, she doted on Lanshan very much, with a loving smile on her face.

"Okay! Thank you, grandma." Lan Shan said in a sweet voice.

Ye Lian said nothing and watched Grandma Lanshan leave.

……

After dinner, Ye Lian silently cleared away the dishes.

If someone doesn't like to hear her talk, then she will speak less.

"Shanshan, would you like grandma to peel an apple for you?" Grandma Lanshan asked very kindly.

"Okay." Lan Shan responded casually while playing with the toy in his hand.

Grandma Lanshan took out the apples she just bought in the afternoon, picked through them, and finally picked the apple she thought was the best.

Ye Lian glanced at it worriedly.

Because she knew that Grandma Lanshan had a problem, whether it was buying vegetables or fruits, she always liked to buy the cheapest or discounted ones.

She went to buy fruit so late in the afternoon, not because she forgot, but on purpose, because the fruit on the market was the cheapest at this time.

She wouldn't listen to what Ye Lian said to her. She still thought that she would be able to live like this.

Sure enough, the apple that Grandma Lanshan took out showed that it was broken in one place. After peeling the fruit, she dug out the bad part first, then cut it into small pieces and fed it to Lanshan.

The apple was so small that Lanshan ate it in one go.

Grandma Lanshan picked out another one.

Ye Lian took a look and saw that this one was even worse. There was a black patch the size of a thumb, and the color looked very stale and a little yellow.

Ye Lian couldn't hold her breath anymore. She walked over, took the apple from Grandma Lanshan's hand, and put it to her nose to smell it.

"These apples smell rotten and cannot be eaten." After Ye Lian finished speaking, she threw the apple into the trash can without any explanation.

With the "bang" sound of the apple being smashed into the trash can, Grandma Lanshan's face, which had been particularly amiable in front of Lanshan just now, immediately turned livid and ugly.

"Mom, I've told you many times, buy fresh fruits. Don't buy bad apples like this. It will ruin your stomach. Besides, Shanshan is still a child." Ye Lian can't control so much, so what should be said? You still have to say it, otherwise you will keep eating bad apples.

Grandma Lanshan seems to have been patient for a long time. As soon as Ye Lian said something, she immediately became furious: "Why can't I buy it? Why can't I eat it? Didn't I dig out the bad ones? When did Shanshan's belly get hurt?" Too bad?..."

The sound is loud!

Ye Lian didn't answer. She didn't expect Grandma Lanshan's reaction to be so big.

Seeing Grandma Lanshan's posture, hersing with the smell of gunpowder, she felt that she should avoid it if she could, and it was best not to detonate it.

But Grandma Lanshan didn't give up, and became more and more powerful: "The apple is bad, rotten, rotten, and can be dug up. If someone's heart is broken, rotten, rotten, or stale, there is no cure."

When Ye Lian heard this insinuation, she felt strangely prickly.

What does it mean? Is this talking about me?

Ye Lian felt that the blood in her body was rushing upwards, and every pore was beginning to relax and heat up.

But she still didn't answer.

But Grandma Lanshan was still pressing forward, spewing out words that left Ye Lian baffled: "We haven't seen each other for four days in a week, can't we bear the loneliness?

"When we were young, Grandpa Lanshan would go out to dig ditches, and he would be gone for a month or two. Am I not doing my duty at home?

"As a woman, you must know your duty and be honest!"

Grandma Lanshan seemed to have been holding back these words for a long time, and she wanted to take the opportunity to spray them out.

What are these words?

Although Ye Lian knew that Grandma Lanshan was talking about herself, she still couldn't connect these words with herself.

But Ye Lian couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to question him and couldn't ignore it!

"Mom, what do you mean? Are you talking about me?"

"What do you mean? Go figure it out yourself! If you don't want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing yourself! Don't think that just because Xue Qian is not at home, you can be unaware of it."

"What shameful thing did I do?"

"Don't you know what you did? Do you have to tell me one by one?" Grandma Lanshan asked aggressively.

"You are shaking! You are shaking! Let me see what I have done to make you so unwilling to let me go!"

……

Grandma Lanshan became more and more aggressive, her words getting louder and louder.

Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious, and rabbits will bite when they are anxious.

Ye Lian was completely angered by Grandma Lanshan, and she didn't show weakness anymore. She would not give in an inch and would stay with her until the end!

She could see that Grandma Lanshan was deliberately trying to attack her that night, and she wanted to see what medicine Grandma Lanshan was selling in her gourd!

"Just shake! You're not afraid of being ashamed. What do I have to be afraid of?" Grandma Lanshan saw that Ye Lian was going to fight with her, so she immediately took on the posture of a rural woman quarreling, trying to overpower Ye Lian in terms of momentum. .

"Speak clearly! What am I not afraid of being ashamed of? What do I have to be ashamed of?"

Ye Lian has always been simple, and the word "ashamed" makes her ashamed to speak.

"Still pretending! Do you want me to explain clearly? Let me ask you, why does that Teacher Xie like to be courteous to you so much? Is he giving you things and carrying gas?" Grandma Lanshan began to question sternly.
