On the morning of the weekend, Wen Liangliang is more nervous than on a weekday.
She goes to bed at five o 'clock and starts to fight with the designer. It's all Zhou Bocan's fault for not keeping his word and saying that the design will not be changed.
Yesterday, the boss called her to the office and asked her to change the design of Wang Ningning's wedding house. Then she remembered that it was not over yet.
"There are many things to be changed. It's a good opportunity for you to grow. Put the old plan aside and redesign according to the elements proposed by Ning Ning."
She has been an intern in an interior design studio in Australia for three years. She has never encountered such a bad situation. There is not even a good comment. The so-called design ideas are thrown to her and she is asked to return the draft and redesign. In the end, they even urge her to hurry up because it has been delayed for a long time. They must come up with a plan next week.
Wen Liangliang almost vomits blood. She especially wants to curse. Most designers in the domestic market are like contractors and are not respected at all.
At eight o 'clock sharp, Tang Tang sends Xiang Xiang over. Before leaving, she says, "If Yuan Weiming comes to you, tell him that I am with you and took Xiang Xiang to swim. Dear, thank you. I hope you will stay here for a long time! "
Wen Liangliang frowns and nods. Fortunately, Xiang Xiang is going back to sleep, so she can make time to cook porridge.
She used to eat porridge when she was a child. Her grandmother ate porridge for three meals a day. There was always porridge in the clay pot at home. She ate porridge for breakfast before going to school every day and after school when she was hungry. Wen Liangliang hates porridge the most in her life except for fat meat.
Therefore, she doesn't like to cook porridge. She browses the web to find the dietary taboos for people with gallstones. "Drink more water, take calcium reasonably, eat rice bran, black fungus and foods rich in vitamin A."
It just so happened that there was black fungus in the fridge. After soaking the black fungus in water, she cut it into small pieces and put them into the porridge to cook. After that, she hurriedly changed her clothes and packed her things. Before she left the house, she looked in the mirror and was shocked by the huge dark circles under her eyes. Life was so busy that she forgot to do maintenance, but she didn't have much time left. She hurriedly picked up the powder and covered her eyes with it before heading to the hospital.
Old Lady Zhou was waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital. She saw her carrying a big bag in her left hand, a thermos bottle in her right hand, and a little girl on her chest. Old Lady Zhou felt sorry for her and said, "Aiyo, next time, I'll ask someone to drive you here. Why did you bring Xiang Xiang here? "
Wen Liangliang explained, "My friend has something to do, so she asked me to take care of her for a day."
Old Lady Zhou quickly took the child out. "The hospital is an unlucky place. The child is too young to go in. Why don't you go upstairs? I'll take the child to play in the small shopping mall across the street and wait for you."
Wen Liangliang listened to her and handed the big bag and the sling to Old Lady Zhou. She took the thermos bottle and went upstairs.
Grandma Zhou was in a single room on the top floor of the inpatient department. The room was very quiet, and only the old Taoist was watching.
When the old Taoist saw that Wen Liangliang had arrived, he found an excuse to leave the room.
Wen Liangliang put the thermos bottle on the cabinet and sat there foolishly for more than ten minutes. She wondered why the old Taoist was not back yet. Then, she heard Grandma Zhou's stuttering voice.
"Is it Liang Liang? Are you here? "
A few days after the surgery, Grandma Zhou's body was weak and her voice was weak.
This reminded Wen Liangliang of her own grandmother. Her grandmother had the same disease as Grandma Zhou. Gallstones were very easy to relapse, and the older she was, the higher the frequency of relapse.
Two years ago, her grandmother had a minimally invasive surgery to remove the stone in her gallbladder. Half a year later, it became cancer and she suddenly passed away. It happened so suddenly that she did not see her for the last time.
Mother Wen said that before her grandmother closed her eyes, she was still talking, "Is Liang Liang here? Is Liang Liang here? "
Thinking of the past, Wen Liangliang's eyes turned red. She grabbed Grandma Zhou's hand and said, "Grandma, you are right. I am here. Are you hungry? Do you want some porridge? "
Grandma Zhou nodded. Wen Liangliang adjusted the angle of the bed and let her sit up against it.
The curtains in the hospital did not block out the light, so the light in the room was still very bright. At this moment, Wen Liangliang saw Grandma Zhou's face clearly. She looked worse than the last time she saw her. There seemed to be more age spots, and her lips were white as if they had been brushed by chalk.
Grandma Zhou ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and asked her what the black one was. It was chewy when she ate it. Wen Liangliang answered, "Ear fungus."
Grandma Zhou did not say anything, but Wen Liangliang did not care.
The sick old woman was not as fierce as usual. She leaned against the bed gently. She only ate half of the porridge, but there was a lot of sweat on her forehead. Wen Liangliang picked up the towel hanging next to her and helped her wipe the sweat on her forehead, neck, and back. Grandma Zhou groaned comfortably.
Her hand was thin and not much thicker than a broom. She pointed to the fruit on the TV cabinet and asked Wen Liangliang to eat the fruit.
Wen Liangliang took an orange, peeled it, and chatted with the old woman. She ate a piece of the orange and confirmed that it was sweet. Then she handed a piece to Grandma Zhou. Grandma Zhou said that she did not eat fruit. Once she ate it, she would have a stomachache. Wen Liangliang could only put it in her mouth.
As they chatted, Grandma Zhou asked Wen Liangliang about her family situation.
Wen Liangliang said, "My family is very simple. I am the only daughter. My father has not retired, and my mother has retired. She is idle at home."
Grandma Zhou was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I dreamed of your mother last night."
Wen Liangliang almost laughed out loud. She had never seen her, but she could also dream of her mother? If her doctor friend, Feint, heard this, he would say that Grandma Zhou's neurons were stimulated by what she thought about during the day and dreamed at night. She would also remind her that dreaming at night would cause her body to collapse.
Granny Zhou had to hold her chin all the time. It seemed that the strength of her neck was always not enough to support her head. Wen Liangliang guessed that her neck was relatively weak, so she usually did not turn her head much. Just like now, her head was not tilted, but her eyes slid over to stare at Wen Liangliang and asked, "Your mother is a traditional woman, isn't she?"
Wen Liangliang thought for a while. To be precise, her mother was a meddlesome mother. She liked to meddle in everything. She would always comment on the "intentions" of her relatives during festivals.
When her grandmother was alive, there was a time when she celebrated her 70th birthday. Mother Wen happily teased her eldest cousin for only taking out a thousand yuan to show filial respect to her grandmother. "Your little cousin took out five thousand yuan. You didn't see how bad Aunt's face was! Liang Liang, when you go out to work, you must be more prestigious than your little cousin no matter what! "
It was not traditional, but it was true that she liked to haggle over small things.
Grandma Zhou's eyes were sincere. Wen Liangliang nodded and let her continue, "Your mother brought a lot of good things. Can's mother didn't know anything. She took the things away and even forgot to give the red envelope. Your mother was so angry that her veins were bulging. Remember to remind Can's mother to give a big red envelope. The Zhou Family can't be rude."
Wen Liangliang frowned and called, "Grandma."
Grandma Zhou seemed not to hear it. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. She was immersed in her own world.
"The child looks like you. He has an oval face and big eyes. He chooses the place where his parents like to grow. He dances in the cradle and learns to talk. You, as a mother, can't be impatient. The first year or two of a child's life is full of troubles. "
Her skinny hand fluttered in the air. Wen Liangliang tried to figure out how to catch her hand.
"Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing …" Grandma Zhou's eyes were red. She didn't speak for a long time.
Wen Liangliang once again remembered that her lovely and amiable grandmother was still thinking about her when she was far away abroad before she died. She couldn't help but feel jealous.
Grandma Zhou held her fingers tightly. She lowered her head and hid half of her face in her palm. She said in a low voice, "When the time comes, there will be a last radiance of the setting sun. I can see the future after death and also see all kinds of ghosts and demons. I'm afraid that I won't live long after coming out from the gates of hell this time. "
"Grandma, you will live a long life." With tears in her eyes, Wen Liangliang opened her mouth. Her voice was a little hoarse.
"No, I'm not greedy. I only hope to live until your child is born. If I leave before the heir is decided, people with ulterior motives will make trouble. The Zhou Family and the City God Temple will not be peaceful in the future. Sooner or later, you'll have children for our Zhou Family. Why don't you give birth to him while I'm still alive? Grandma, I'm begging you. I only have this wish. Just tell me what you want. "
"Grandma …" Wen Liangliang wanted to comfort her. The old Taoist had entered the door with another person.
The person was not surprised to see Wen Liangliang. On the contrary, Grandma Zhou seemed to come back to life. Her gloomy mood was swept away. She smiled kindly and asked about her well-being. "Have you eaten? It's hot outside. You're sweating all over. Yuan, lower the air-conditioner by a few degrees. Wipe your sweat with my new towel. "
Zhou Bocan only sat for a few minutes. When he heard that Wen Liangliang wanted to leave, he also wanted to leave.
The two of them took the elevator downstairs. The hospital's elevator was very big. But with the hospital bed, it seemed narrow. The nurse pushed the hospital bed out. Wen Liangliang moved her feet slightly to keep a distance from him.
When they walked out of the hospital, Wen Liangliang saw Old Lady Zhou waiting for her across the road with the child on her back. Old Lady Zhou waved her hand and called Zhou Bocan over. "The child is still young. It's tiring to squeeze in the bus and subway. If you're on the way, you can give them a lift."
Before Zhou Bocan said anything, Wen Liangliang said, "Unfortunately, I have to take Xiang Xiang upstairs for a swim. Mr. Zhou, you go first."
Old Lady Zhou wanted to say that calling him Mr. Zhou was too formal. But on second thought, they were not really married. They just met by chance. It was not wrong to call him Mr. Zhou.
Wen Liangliang did promise Tang Tang to take Xiang Xiang to the BB Baby Swimming Pool. She saw a swimming pool in the mall, so she went upstairs.
But she didn't understand why Zhou Bocan followed her up.
Wen Liangliang unloaded Xiang Xiang. She asked the auntie of the swimming pool to help her rinse and put a swimming ring on her head. Then she carried her into the water. As soon as Xiang Xiang touched the water, her legs began to kick, enjoying the fun of floating in the water.
Zhou Baican stood there like a rock, refusing to budge. Wen Liangliang thought of the returned design draft and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Don't tell me you really want to send me to the City God Temple to cook for your Taoist priests?"
Zhou Bocan didn't know where her confidence came from. "If you really go there, they may not welcome you."
"I'm not going to be a laborer!" Wen Liangliang retorted.
Zhou Bocan smiled faintly. She was still the same as before. She was easily provoked and had a bad temper.
"You two don't look alike at all." Zhou Bocan threw a ball into the water.
Wen Liangliang didn't react. She followed his line of sight. He was saying that she and Xiang Xiang didn't look alike.
"Is Dad the man you chased to Australia?" Zhou Bocan asked again.
His arms were very long, and he gently pushed Xiangxiang Beila's swimming ring. Xiangxiang Beila no longer paddled in the water. Her body followed the force and spun around. Her round eyes stared at Zhou Baican in a daze.
Senior Sister Liao, Tang Tang, Shan Yueling, and even Father Wen and Mother Wen knew that Yi Zhisheng was her taboo. However, Zhou Bocan brought it up.
Wen Liangliang sighed and purposely avoided the topic. "Why don't you spend time with your wife on the weekends? Don't they have a gathering with their sisters today? As a competent husband, I have to go there to support them. "
Zhou Bocan sighed too. "Isn't my grandma more important?"
Speaking of Grandma Zhou, Wen Liangliang thought of the strange conversation again. Can people really foresee the future before they die?
Being stared at by Xiangxiang Beila, Zhou Baican casually grabbed the duckling and pushed it to her with his long arms. Xiangxiang Beila's little hands fluttered, trying to catch the duckling, but she pushed it away.
