In fact, Cheng Jin always had to apologize to his grandmother, but he never found the right time. After all, the old lady was so stubborn that she never gave him a good face when she met him, let alone talked with him peacefully. . In the past few years, Cheng Jin would still give gifts and try to soften her husband's heart from her place, but to no avail. When later he really knew that he had repented, Cheng Jin was ashamed to see her.
Although he knew that the other party would not give a good face when he went to meet this time, Cheng Jin still decided to go.
Not to save her husband's heart, but sincerely, wanting to say "I'm sorry" to my grandmother.
He didn't tell her husband about this. Lu Tao seemed to be a little busy. He always went to the military headquarters or military hospitals. He went too frequently. Cheng Jin was still a little nervous at first, worried about whether there was something wrong with his body. After asking, Lu Tao squeezed his face, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Do you think I can have any problem? Is there a kidney failure?"
Cheng Jin blushed, worry turned into shyness, and whispered: "It's not impossible..." After all, the two of them did it too often, and Cheng Jin was a little worried about the contraceptive pill he took. It will be effective.
Lu Tao approached him, "Do you need me to prove it?"
After the proof, there was indeed no problem, and Cheng Jin was relieved.
Early in the morning, Cheng Jin started to bake a kind of sweet biscuits. The fillings in it have been adjusted. After passing the certification of Eureka, he thinks the best taste is the flavor of red bean paste. The cookies are all made into bean paste flavor, and the rest are pumpkin and honey flavors. After baking the cookies, Cheng Jin carefully packed them, put on clothes for going out, and drove out.
It is nearly an hour’s drive from his home to Yousi’s house. When you see the coastline, you will also arrive at the site of Yousi’s house. Cheng Jin parked the car, and the steward of the family greeted him and greeted him with a smile. Cheng Jin also greeted politely. He noticed that there were not many cars in the parking lot, and one of them was the brightest one, which was red like a firework. He looked familiar, but after thinking about it, he remembered it. , Suddenly some doubts, "Yan Qi is here too?"
The steward said: "Yes, Master Yan Qi has arrived."
Cheng Jin didn't understand why Yan Qi was invited to a family banquet with Si Kui. He originally wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that it was not appropriate to ask, so he closed his mouth quickly. He was taken into a small banquet hall. When he arrived, there were already joking sounds. As soon as he entered, the people who were chatting stopped talking and all looked at him.
Cheng Jin saw his grandmother at a glance, and suddenly became nervous, and was suffocated by the thoughts he had made. Si Kui still waved at him, "Xiao Cheng Jin, you are here, come sit down." She was sitting with her grandmother. In the same row, there is a space in the middle. She took the empty position, which was obviously prepared for Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin lightly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "Hello everyone, grandma is good." He walked over as smoothly as possible, and walked in front of his grandmother with a very low voice and gesture, "Hello grandmother, look at it today. It looks beautiful."
The average age of the empire planet has reached one hundred and thirty years old, and many people can live to one hundred and fifty years old. The eighty-year-old grandmother does not look old. She doesn’t even have many wrinkles on her face, only her hair is gray. of.
The old lady had a straight face, she didn't show a smile when she was praised by him, and she didn't even look at him. She just said to You Si Kui: "Why are you calling him?"
You Si Kui smiled and said, "Sell the young people to gather together." Then he said to Cheng Jin: "Xiao Cheng Jin, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Axiu."
Si Xiu looks beautiful and beautiful, wearing a long skirt with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. It is one of the only two women who participated in the scooter race with Lu Tao before. Cheng Jin smiled at You Sixiu and said, "We know it."
You Si Xiu also smiled, "I do know each other."
The Cheng family was originally a huge wealth. In order to integrate with the indigenous nobles, they always liked to attend these banquets. Cheng Jin and You Sixiu were about the same age. Of course, they met and met, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Si Kui smiled and said: "Yes, I forgot, you are about the same age, you originally knew each other, you know Xiaoqi too, don't you?"
Cheng Jin glanced at Yan Qi, still wondering why he appeared here, and nodded, "Yes."
Yan Qi is wearing a black suit. He is tall, and the suit perfectly wraps his figure, making him seem not strong at all. With wide shoulders and narrow waist, he looks like a clothes hanger, which is a rare addition to his beauty. It's a bit handsome. He glanced at Cheng Jin lazily, and said, "Of course I know, the young master of the Cheng family, he almost became my partner before."
One sentence changed the expressions of the people in the room. Some were curious, some were frowning. Of course Cheng Jin was the one who frowned. He didn't feel ashamed or anything else, but he didn't want to be heard by his grandmother. .
It was as if he was still a little bit ridiculous.
Cheng Jin said, "Would it be a lot worse? That was all made by adults in jokes when I was young."
"Yes, luckily it's just a joke." Yan Qi smiled cynically.
The others all smiled in cooperation, and Si Kui changed the subject, "Xiao Cheng Jin, what are you carrying? Is it a gift for grandma?"
Cheng Jin hurriedly said: "It's the cookies I baked in the morning. You can try it."
The cookies were taken down by the butler, and when they were brought up again, they had been put on a plate one by one, together with a knife, fork and drink. Cheng Jin finally sat anxiously next to her grandmother, and after noticing that the blanket on her grandmother's legs was still a little blanket, his body relaxed again. When the dessert from grandma came, Cheng Jin said quickly: "Grandma, I'll cut it for you."
"No." The old lady looked cold and distant. From some angles, she looked exactly the same as Lu Tao before. "What I use is my legs. I can still use my hands. I'll do it myself."
Cheng Jinna withdrew his hand, and Si Kui smiled and played round the game, "Xiao Jin is so good, filial, and handy. He can not only make clothes, but also make desserts. This little cookie tastes good, a little bit. It's not greasy, and it tastes better than the ones sold outside."
Cheng Jin was praised with a guilty conscience and carefully looked at his grandmother's face. The old lady elegantly cut the cookie into small pieces, forked a piece and stuffed it into her mouth to chew. She did not agree or object to You Si Kui's words, but seeing that she had eaten the second piece again, Cheng Jinxuan His heart relaxed slightly.
But Yan Qi smiled and said, "The grandma of Si is too exaggerated, how can it be so delicious? The desserts in my cake shop are a hundred times more delicious than what he makes."
You Si Kui was a little helpless, "You kid, your cake shop has opened all over the world, how can it be compared."
Cheng Jin was a little confused, "Did it all over the world?"
You Si Kui smiled and said, "Yes, the prize you won last time was provided by Xiao Qi."
Cheng Jin's eyes widened, "Sony Cake Shop is yours?"
Yan Qi looked at him and slowly said: "It's not my family, it's mine."
His stinky appearance made Cheng Jin instantly lose the heart to talk to him again, and suddenly felt that what his brother had told him not to have much contact with him was extremely correct. You Si Kui started to make rounds again, "The weather is very good today, Axiu, you take Xiao Qi out for a walk, Xiao Cheng Jin, you also push your grandmother out to bask in the sun. It's winter. Such sunshine is too rare. And there is no wind today, so it's best to go for a walk."
Cheng Jin heard the words and stood up quickly, "Okay." He looked at his grandmother, still a little nervous, "Grandmother, I, I will push you." He said he was going to touch her grandmother's wheelchair, but the grandmother said: "No, my own. Can."
Nowadays, wheelchairs are quite smart. They not only sense obstacles and choose the correct route, but also adjust the mode even when going up and down stairs. It is a safe and stable auxiliary tool. Cheng Jin watched her grandmother walk out in a wheelchair. When she didn't know what to do, Si Kui gently pushed him and whispered, "Go and help her push the wheelchair."
Cheng Jin clenched his fists and hurriedly followed, reached out and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair back, and said, "Grandma, I'll push you."
The old lady did not firmly refuse this time.
You Si Kui obviously arranged for them a chance to live alone. When they walked outside, there were no other people around, and there was a long and wide avenue in front of them, facing the sea and the buildings of the Yu Si family on the other. The environment was quiet and quiet. , The scenery is very beautiful.
After walking in silence for a short while, Cheng Jin finally summoned the courage to speak: "Grandma, are you cold?"
"not cold."
Cheng Jin felt hot and sweaty in his hands. He said, "I'm knitting a hat and a scarf for you, as well as gloves. When the knitting is finished, I will ask Lu Tao to send it to you. I and I choose both. Cashmere wool, if you wear it when you go out, it will definitely not feel cold at all."
Grandma was silent for a moment, and said, "You don't need to please me like this."
"I'm not... to please you..." Cheng Jin said in a difficult tone, he lowered his head, "I just feel sorry for you, and always wanted to apologize to you. If it weren't for my waywardness, you wouldn't be like this now... Grandmother , I'm sorry, I know how many times I have said it will not help, but I still want to say sorry to you!" He let go of his hand and stood in front of his grandmother, his expression full of shame.
The old lady stared at him. She probably seldom laughed, and she rarely had other expressions. Her face was always serious, and it was the same at this time, her lips were tightly broken. After seeing Cheng Jin's tears, he opened his mouth, "You can't cry in front of me."
Cheng Jin quickly wiped his tears, "I'm sorry, I just can't help..." He didn't want to cry, as if he was seeking sympathy.
The old lady said: "I only recognize your behavior that you are improving now, but what you did back then not only hurt me, but also hurt my grandson. The rift between you is not I can fix it if I forgive you."
Cheng Jin's heart ached, tears rolled down again. He said, "I know." He sniffed, "I'm here to apologize to you, not because of Lu Tao, but I really realized it. Own mistake. Grandma, I'm sorry." He said and bowed to the old lady.
The old lady turned her head, her eyes fell on the sea level in the distance. After a long time, she said, "I forgive you."
