vanilla affair

The old house is located in an old-fashioned small courtyard. The tall redbud tree in the courtyard seems to be the height of seven years ago. It is covered with green heart-shaped leaves, and the purple flowers are about to bloom. It is more deeply colored.The elderly have feelings for this place. Even if Ji Chengjun and the others bought a house in another high-end community, Mr. Ji just doesn't want to move out.

Every time he came back, Ji Sheng couldn't help being a little dazed.He grew up here and left here.Seeing such an old yard, I always think of him when he was younger, holding his grandfather's little finger to go to school.He is grandpa's good grandson, he used to be.

Ji Sheng followed Ji Shiyan upstairs, the cramped stairs only took two turns, and he saw the iron door of his house was open.Grandma sat on the small bench, waiting for him with the cool breeze blowing.When the old man saw his grandson come back, he was so happy that he stood up tremblingly on his knees, and stretched out his hand to pick up the luggage.Ji Sheng said no, took off his shoes and walked towards the living room while supporting grandma's arm.

The hot dishes were set on the dining table, and mother Xie Min poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the door knock, wiped her hands and filled the soup for her son.According to Ji Shiyan, her parents began to shift the focus of work to Yuncheng a few years ago to take care of the two elderly people at home.When Ji Sheng was studying in Yuncheng, his mother followed his father back two or three times a month, and rarely did housework when he came back, so when he saw his mother wearing an apron standing aside and watching her son drink soup, Ji Sheng suddenly felt a slight heat in his eyes.

Xie Min saw him gurgling and finishing his bowl of soup with his head up, and wanted to serve him another bowl, but Ji Sheng declined politely: "Mom, don't drink it, I won't be able to eat when I'm too full..."

"It's all water. It will be gone after you go to the toilet a few times." The mother took his bowl, but still listened to her son's advice.

Grandma said from the side: "You let Shengsheng wash his hands first."

"That's right. I was too anxious. I was so happy to see Ji Sheng come back that I forgot." Mother smiled and rubbed the hem of her apron embarrassingly.

It was still Ji Shiyan who came to the side to make a rescue: "Oh, mother, my brother is coming back this time, and he doesn't leave tomorrow, why are you so anxious! We will go to see grandpa later~"

So both mother and grandma laughed, and Ji Sheng stood aside watching, suddenly feeling unbearably warm.

After lunch, Xie Min helped Ji Sheng pack the food, and Ji Sheng carried the thermos bucket and asked Ji Shiyan to lead the way to the hospital by car.In fact, grandpa is really fine, Ji Chengjun made a big fuss and had to ask the old man to observe him in the hospital, so Ji Shiyan took this opportunity to get her brother back.

Although the father has no choice but to admit his son's sexual orientation, it does not mean that he will accept this embarrassing change.Usually when family members talk about Ji Sheng, Ji Chengjun basically doesn't interrupt, and his attitude can be described as indifferent.So Ji Sheng is not very willing to come back, his mother and the others think that Ji Chengjun needs to bear part of the responsibility.

Ji Chengjun was completely kept in the dark about the news of Ji Sheng's return this time, so when he saw Ji Sheng standing outside the ward, the two of them stared at each other for an instant.Ji Shiyan pushed her brother from behind, yelled "Dad" very dissatisfied, and dragged Ji Sheng into the ward.

Ji Chengjun just nodded towards Ji Shiyan, as if he didn't see his son much, and moved a piece of land to the side.The old man smiled and took Ji Sheng's hand to look left and right, patted the nearest bedside position, and asked him to sit there.Ji Shiyan divided the dishes, and handed one bowl to her elder brother and the other to her father: "Brother, feed grandpa!"

"Nonsense, I didn't have a broken arm." The old man glared at Ji Shiyan, grabbed the bowl and chopsticks from Ji Sheng's hand, and started to eat by himself.

"Hey, there's no nonsense. My brother came all the way, and he told me to take good care of grandpa after not seeing him for so long." Ji Shiyan rubbed against Ji Sheng and gave him a compliment.

"Do you really think I'm too old to move?" Mr. Ji nodded dissatisfiedly at the juniors, "Your father too, I'm just dizzy, you have to force me to live here for a few days, lying or sitting every day Come on, it's really boring."

"Grandpa, if you are bored, let brother come over to accompany you."

Ji Sheng nodded quickly: "Yes, I've been here for the past few days, and I can come to accompany you every day, Grandpa."

"Just come here, don't provoke your father. He doesn't talk here, as if my father owes his son millions of dollars."

"Dad, you're talking nonsense again..." Ji Chengjun had nothing to do with his father, "The doctor told you to rest more, but you are fine, you can run here or there every day if you want. You don't feel tired."

"I have nothing to do at home, and besides, you won't let Ji Sheng come back to live, so you just leave us two old ones at home."

"How could I not let Ji Sheng come back?" Ji Chengjun knew that the old man was still dissatisfied with his attitude towards Ji Sheng, but he couldn't tell the old man that Ji Sheng had indeed committed something wrong back then.

Seeing his grandfather defending him so much, Ji Sheng was naturally moved, and quickly pulled a smile on his face, and said in a coquettish tone: "It's none of Dad's business. I still have a store in G City, so I can't be busy. I will definitely come back to accompany you more often in the future." Grandpa's!"

"You say that every year. Are you fooling your grandpa?"

Being glared at by his grandfather, Ji Sheng had no choice but to be more obedient, and said in a drawn-out voice, "I won't do it next time—"

It was the same as when he was a child, Ji Sheng also stood in front of him when he did something wrong, grabbed his hand and acted like a baby, saying that he would not do it next time.It's been a long time since Mr. Ji has seen his grandson act like a baby to him, and now it's like a lifetime away.He just smiled warmly, and raised his hand to pat the top of his little grandson's hair.

When the weekday comes, Ji Shiyan has to go to class, and her parents also need to work, so only Ji Sheng and grandma come to the hospital in turn to take care of the elderly.Ji Sheng came more often, and would bring newspapers to his grandfather, and the grandfather and grandson lay on the hospital bed and played Chinese chess.Mr. Ji couldn't bear to see Ji Sheng's level, so he ate his chess pieces and taught him how not to be eaten, which made the newcomers in the same room come over to play two games, making Ji Sheng It's so cruel.

Mr. Ji had a great time eating his grandson's soldiers, but whenever someone came to fight, he would fight his grandson to death. When someone else defeated Ji Sheng, he had to win another game to enjoy himself.

Ji Sheng still had a psychological burden at first, but the grandfather and grandson enjoyed themselves together, and gradually relaxed.

It's just that grandpa's nap time is getting longer and longer, and he is more likely to lose energy than before.Ji Sheng leaned on the bedside table, staring at the old man's face or the building outside the window in a daze.

"What are you thinking, Shengsheng?" Grandpa opened his eyes, seeing Ji Sheng's sad look, he couldn't help calling him.

Ji Sheng came back to his senses, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't think about anything, Grandpa, are you awake?"

"Well," Mr. Ji glanced at his grandson, followed by looking out of the window, and asked slowly after a long time, "I heard from your father that you opened a flower shop in City G? Why don't you come back if you want to do business? Helping your dad, are you still angry with your dad for his attitude?"

"No... I'm not angry with Dad..."

"You..." Mr. Ji paused for a moment, "Forget it, it's up to you, as long as you live happily." He sighed.

"grandfather……"

Mr. Ji thought for a while and asked, "Are you living alone over there?"

"I share the rent with a friend."

"girlfriend?"

Ji Sheng froze for a moment, remembering that his father had mentioned that he didn't know how he had been deceived. Grandpa probably still felt that he was framed for that incident before.He felt a bit bitter in his mouth, but he could only respond in a low voice: "No, I don't have a girlfriend..."

Mr. Ji said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.Ji Sheng quickly stood up and picked up the apple: "Let me go and peel an apple for you!"

"No, come back and sit down, and I'll chat with you."

It was rare for grandpa to be so serious, so Ji Sheng had no choice but to sit back holding the apple, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at grandpa's face.It was said to be chatting, but Mr. Ji didn't speak for a long time, and stared at Ji Sheng intently, making Ji Sheng fidget like a light on his back.In the end, the elder's parents sighed, grabbed the apple back from Ji Sheng's hand, and pondered: "Is it hard work for you to open that Laoshizi flower shop yourself?"

"Fortunately..." Ji Sheng shook his head helplessly.

"Ji Sheng, you seem to be a little afraid of me now? You were not like this when you were young." Grandpa suddenly raised such a question, which made Ji Sheng raise his head and widen his eyes in fright. "I know, you changed schools at that time, and you went to the dormitory, and you had to change back to your previous school uniform every time you came back. If you want to hide it from me, then I have no choice but to pretend that I don't know anything..."

"Your father did not do this properly. If you really want to provoke someone at school, you can't let your son take the blame alone... But I heard that later, he found someone, and he didn't know how to rectify it. that woman."

"——!" Ji Sheng opened his mouth in disbelief, and said hoarsely, "I... don't know..."

"Why did the father and son have an overnight feud? Your father likes to keep things in his stomach. He heard that the housing prices in G City are expensive, and he saved a lot of money a long time ago. He was afraid that you would not have enough money to buy a house. You say me, I'm in my [-]s and [-]s, and I don't have the energy to take care of your house anymore. Grandpa's biggest wish is to hope that you can live happily. It doesn't matter if you meet a suitable man, tall or short, as long as you behave well. You are also good, in the future when you encounter major events, you will have the patience to accompany you through it."

Ji Sheng frowned and almost blurted out: "Grandpa, do you know?"

"Know what? I don't know." Elder Ji rolled his eyes at his grandson, put the apple back into Ji Sheng's hand, and said angrily, "Go and wash your apples, you've been mad at me since I was a child, brat. "

Ji Sheng grinned in embarrassment, the boulder in his heart was smashed into powder in such a logical way, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

At [-]:[-] or [-]:[-], grandma came over to change shifts with food, and asked Ji Sheng to go home and heat up the dishes in the pot. He was probably the only one eating at home tonight.Ji Sheng didn't mind, and it happened that he wasn't hungry, so he came out of the hospital and walked back along Jiangxia Road.

There is another reason for him to take this road, between the hospital and his home, separated from his original high school.At six o'clock, most of the commuting students left school. Ji Sheng stood on the opposite side of the road, watching three or two scattered people coming out of the school gate. He couldn't help thinking about high school, and he was so attached that he didn't want to leave in a hurry.

A woman was waiting at the gate of the school with a child of about two or three years old. The child was fair-looking, with extremely cute and curved eyebrows. He was holding a lollipop in his hand and insisted on poking it at his mother's face.Ji Sheng looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The child seemed to call out to his father, and when he saw someone coming out, the man knelt down and hugged the child who rushed towards him, with a gentle face.Ji Sheng stared blankly, and the man on the opposite side also looked over, and the smile immediately froze on his face.
