Chapter 97:
Later, Liang Wen repeatedly called me uncle when she annoyed me. She obviously hates this title, but she said it on purpose just to annoy me.
It doesn't matter. Uncle is uncle.
I am older than her, so I should take more care of her.
Seeing her lonely and helpless, my grandfather invited Liang Wen to live in Ying's house, thinking of Teacher Liang's kindness to me.
Liang Wen's timid appearance is imprinted in my mind, but it doesn't match her cuteness when she saw everyone when she was three or four months old.
Guilt is something that, once it happens, lingers on and on.
Teacher Liang, who is full of peaches and plums, shouldn't walk away pitifully alone. I immediately asked people to post the news of the funeral in all the places where they might know Mr. Liang, and invite those who knew Mr. Liang to come and express their condolences. Although Teacher Liang left the dance academy early, she is kind and soft-tempered, and she has good friends with many people. Everyone heard that such a disaster had happened to her, who had not seen her for many years, and immediately rushed to the funeral home to see her off for the last time.
Before the funeral, which was originally deserted, it was quickly covered with wreaths, and I had people prepare everything that should be needed for the funeral.
As for Zhan Qinghe, I was afraid that the teacher would not want to see him when he was alive, and even less after his death, so I didn't force him to come over.
Liang Wen didn't know any of these friends and colleagues of her mother's life, but the other party's real face was full of nostalgia for her mother. Feeling overwhelmed, she cried again.
I looked at her and thought of how painful it was when I heard the news of my parents' sudden death in a car accident many years ago.
Well now, we have become people without parents together.
I helped Teacher Liang find a cemetery with excellent geomantic omen and place her ashes in it.
At the same time, he helped Liang Wen move out of her small home, allowing her to live in Ying's old house with peace of mind.
The old house usually only lived in the grandfather. It's so lonely.
When I was young, I only cared about my own pain, but I never thought that my grandfather must be sad when he suddenly lost his son and daughter-in-law.
It's just that because I was young, I never revealed it in front of me.
Now that I think about it, he must have tears in his eyes every night when a white-haired man sends a black-haired man.
Grandpa was a soldier, with a strong character, and his body is still strong even in his fifties and sixties. But after the bad news at home, his health deteriorated, and the smile on his face was only revealed when he saw me. Even his former subordinates, such as Gao Houfa, wanted to come to see him, but he often refused because he was unwell.
I have a rest place elsewhere on weekdays, and I don't often go back to my old house.
Most of the time is spent on set.
After Liang Wen moved into the old house, I went back several times.
The first time she went back, she sat opposite to her grandpa, didn't speak, just gently poured tea for her. Grandpa, on the other hand, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to doze off. But I found that his demeanor was quite relaxed, and he must be accompanied by someone. Although he is a person who doesn't talk much, it is always good.
When Liang Wen saw me, she still lowered her head, I could only see her red earlobes, like rubies.
At that time, I thought, she was just shy when she met a strange man.
I went back after a few days and saw Grandpa sitting under the eaves of the courtyard, while Liang Wen happily kicked the shuttlecock on the bluestone road in the courtyard. Her face was more flushed due to exercise, and her complexion was much better than before. Sure enough, she is a dancer. The shuttlecock on her feet flies like stars and is as light as a feather. When it looks like it is about to hit the ground, she either bends down to save it, or leans over to save it, and the shuttlecock always lands firmly on her feet.
Grandpa watched and laughed, and praised a few words from time to time.
My shadow fell on the bluestone road, Liang Wen raised her head suddenly, stared at me, her face turned red as usual when she saw me, the shuttlecock fell from in front of her, and she didn't move when it landed on the ground.
Grandpa said angrily from behind: "Oh, it's one hundred short of one. Shun Chen, you came back at a really bad time."
Embarrassed, I walked up to Liang Wen and bent down to pick up the shuttlecock, "Grandpa, let me show you one."
Grandpa snorted and said, "Where can you see how good you are when you are a big man kicking shuttlecocks? The way we Wenwen kicks shuttlecocks is really pleasing to the eye."
I suddenly felt abandoned. It seems that I haven't come back for a few days. Grandpa is no longer my grandfather, but Liang Wen's.
The third time I went back to the old house, it was already May, and the heat was in full swing. I asked Zuo Xing to take some sweet and iced watermelons back.
Grandpa doesn't eat these, but who I took them back to, only I know.
However, when I got home, I found that Liang Wen was not there.
Grandpa said that she had delayed her study for a month because of Teacher Liang's death, and now she is going to school when her condition improves, and she will take the college entrance examination in less than a month, so there is no time to delay.
The left row took the watermelon and asked me if he could eat a piece? After all, the people I want to send are not here.
Let's go to the left, this person has always been so blind.
I said you can eat it if you want, but you have to eat all these watermelons.
Zuo Xing stared at me with sad eyes, I knew he was slandering me, but I was just not happy.
This kind of unhappiness cannot be said, so I am even more unhappy.
After leaving the old house, I asked Zuo Xing to learn about Liang Wen's studies.
The college entrance examination is very important. If other people's children are in the stage of the college entrance examination, the whole family is ready to go to battle at the first level, and there is no need to worry about food and drink, as they are properly prepared. And Liang Wen not only wants to hide the pain of losing her mother in her heart, but also prepares for the college entrance examination with heart.
Before, I thought she would give up the college entrance examination and take it again next year, but it turned out that she didn't want to give up.
Presumably it was Teacher Liang's last wish that made Liang Wen unable to give up.
Liang Wen has practiced dancing since she was a child, and has solid basic skills. She is determined to enter the dance academy. Before the accident, she had already passed the professional courses of the dance academy, and she only had to wait for the results of the cultural courses of the college entrance examination to pass the line.
The last hammer thing, get over it and get over it. I also agree with her insisting on passing the test.
But my thoughts are just my thoughts. I have no position or qualification to say these things to her.
And her grades in the culture class at that time were not bad, as long as she performed steadily on the spot, the door of the dance academy would be open for her.
A few days before the college entrance examination, she returned to the old house. I heard the news from the housekeeper, and rushed back to the old house as soon as possible.
Grandpa was so meticulous that he asked people to bring back black pens, pencils, rubber rulers and other test tools from abroad. He also asked Liang Wen about the test location and time, and asked the family driver to pick him up on time during the test.
I sat on the sidelines and listened, but I felt that it would be useless to come back.
After dinner, I got up to say goodbye to my grandfather, Liang Wen stood up and said that I would see my uncle off.
This uncle called again and my eyes went dark.
Walking into the courtyard of the old house, I remember that the moonlight was very bright at that time, and the shadows of me and her were stretched very long.
She was still smiling freely in front of grandpa, but she always lowered her head in front of me and spoke carefully, sometimes even so small that I couldn't hear clearly.
I remember I asked her something about the college entrance examination. She listened obediently, answering a word or two from time to time.
When I reached the gate, I stopped.
She also stopped.
I thought about what I should say to cheer me up, and just as I was about to speak, she came from behind with a notebook and put her hands in front of me.
There was hope in her timid eyes, "Uncle, can you sign for me?"
At that time, I said something very shameless, I said: "You call me brother, and I will sign it for you."
After speaking, even I admire my own courage and shamelessness.
The other party is just a little girl who has just grown up. She is still the daughter of my mentor, and she is the one I should protect and take care of.
I said these words with a hint of teasing.
But I really don't like her calling me uncle. uncle? If I were ten or twenty years older than her, I would naturally agree.
Liang Wen's little face was flushed red at that time, I knew I shouldn't say that, but I just stared at her with the mentality of just saying it and watching her.
It wasn't until she stared at her that she was about to cry, that she bit her lip and called out through the teeth, "Brother Ying."
I immediately felt at ease, and as soon as I felt at ease, I despised my own evil deeds.
I almost panicked and took the book from her hand, and opened the first page.
I still clearly remember that a circle of pink and blue hydrangeas was drawn on the bottom of the white paper on the first page. The layers are like the flower street after the rain.
My fans all know that pink and blue hydrangeas are the only flowers I like, so I thought that Liang Wen probably learned about my preferences from the Internet, so I drew these pink hydrangeas on the first page by myself. Sea of blue flowers.
I took the pen and wrote a line: I wish Wenwen wins the championship in one fell swoop.
After writing these eight words, I always felt that it was too plain, so I wrote a few more words at the back: Brother Ying.
I want to print these three words into this girl's heart, so that she can remember what to call me when she sees me.
After returning the notebook to Liang Wen, I almost ran away.
Then I thought, what am I running away from? I didn't do anything, why should I run away.
Later, I thought, probably at that time I had other thoughts about her.
After the college entrance examination, Liang Wen's estimated score is enough to enter the dance academy. Before my grandfather, I gave Liang Wen a black card, asking her to go on a trip with her classmates to relax.
Liang Wen yelled to her brother, and then rejected me.
I wasn't unhappy, on the contrary, I was very happy to say: "You keep the card, if you want to travel or something, you can go directly to buy tickets."
After finishing speaking, I suddenly felt that this sentence was a bit familiar. It's very similar to what Boss Ba said in some idol dramas.
But I have to say, this kind of talk is, um, addictive.
Liang Wen is an obedient child. She stayed by Grandpa's side for the entire summer vacation, eating with him, talking with him, playing chess with him, and taking walks with him. In short, she did what I should do for me.
Everyone can see that grandpa's body and spirit are gradually improving.
Before Liang Wen started school, my grandfather called me back to the old house.
In his study, Liang Wen and I sat on one side, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Grandpa first said that he asked someone to make a fortune, saying that Liang Wen's and I's birthdays are very similar, and it fits the pattern of mutual prosperity.
I didn't understand for a while, and I didn't understand when I looked at Liang Wen.
Grandpa stared at the faces of the two of us, and slowly said: "Wenwen is a good child. She has no mother now, and her father is unreliable. She will be a member of my Ying family from now on, and our Ying family will take care of her."
I nodded, "It's natural." But what do you do with your birthday?
Grandpa: "Wenwen will be my Ying family from now on, so she should have a name. Shunchen, you should marry her."
I was in a daze, the first feeling was that grandpa was whimsical, the second feeling was that Wenwen was still young, and the third feeling was that it seemed... okay.
I glanced at Liang Wen, and the girl's face turned red again, her beautiful big eyes were full of shock.
All right. This is still a child, and it is indeed too early to get married.
The grandfather said again: "The fortune tellers say that you are destined to get married sooner or later, and if you get married, I, an old man, can live another twenty years, and I can watch you have children and call me grandpa. "
Speaking of this, grandpa wiped away his tears, "I am only a son, and he died before me. If I can't see my family's successor, how can I close my eyes and die?"
I couldn't hear these words the most, so I hurriedly coaxed: "Grandpa, why are you talking so politely?"
Grandpa immediately shouted: "If you want me to live another twenty years, you will marry Wenwen."
I glanced at Liang Wen in embarrassment. Grandpa is sometimes very open-minded, and sometimes very stubborn.
Grandpa: "Wenwen. Although my family's Shunchen is older than you, he is also considered handsome. Currently, he has a good job and earns a lot of money. Naturally, our Ying family's children have no character. If you can trust me Grandpa and I, just think about it?"
I rubbed my forehead, wondering if Liang Wen thought that Grandpa took her to Ying's family just to make her his grandson-in-law?
Who knows, the girl asked for a long time, "Grandpa, I'm under the legal marriage age, do I have to go abroad to get this marriage certificate?"
