messed up

Chapter 36

"Okay." Xu Baiyu smiled: "Even if I don't need my help in Teacher Wu's lecture, I still want to listen to it."

"Xiao Xu, work hard." Doctor Wu also smiled, and patted Xu Baiyu on the back.Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, he really wanted to say a word of encouragement to his younger generation: "You can do it too in the future."

Xu Baiyu was still smiling, and he felt very grateful: "Okay, I will work hard."

It was New Year's Eve, and the shops were basically only open for one morning.After getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Baiyu sat on the bus, looking out the window at the streets and alleys that were much deserted than usual, and only then did he really feel the feeling of the New Year's Eve.

It's Chinese New Year, and on New Year's Eve, it doesn't matter which line you usually work on in the 360 ​​line, except for those who have nowhere to go, you have to go home at this time.Only at this time, people who have been toiling for a whole year can temporarily unload their burdens and have a reunion dinner with their closest and most trusted people.

Soon Xu Baiyu arrived home.Standing at the door of Yu Jing's house, he suddenly felt his heart beat a lot faster.

"Yu Jing!" Xu Baiyu knocked on the door.As soon as the door opened, he rushed forward with a smile: "New Year's Eve!"

"Oh, Doctor Xiao Xu." However, it was Yu Cheng who opened the door, he hugged Xu Baiyu with a smile, and pointed to the kitchen: "My son is over there."

"Teacher Yu?" Xu Baiyu realized that he had hugged the wrong person, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry."

"What's there to be sorry about?" Yu Cheng was still sober at this moment, he smiled and went to close the door: "Xiao Xu, I will give you red envelopes tomorrow morning."

"We're not kids anymore, what kind of red envelopes do we want?" Xu Baiyu hastily declined, "It's really not necessary."

"You will always be children with me." Yu Cheng motioned Xu Baiyu to go with him, Xu Baiyu washed his hands first, and then followed him to the balcony: "Just now my son told me that you want to grow flowers, I've been thinking about it."

Yu Cheng raises the Four Seasons crabapple. The flowers are as the name suggests, and they bloom very casually, regardless of the season.Yu Jing took out her reading glasses and put them on, she was in a daze, as if she was thinking about the past.

"How did this flower grow?" Yu Cheng murmured, "I can't remember."

"Don't worry, just think about it slowly." Xu Baiyu slowed down his voice: "For example, watering once every few days? Do you like basking in the sun?"

"I don't want to." Yu Cheng walked back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and called Xu Baiyu to come and sit with him: "I'll tell you when I remember."

"Okay." Xu Baiyu nodded, looking at old man Yu, he wanted to talk to this man about the past to help restore his memory, so he asked in a joking tone as if nothing had happened: "Teacher Yu, did Yu Jing have any fun when she was young?" about it? Tell me about it."

"Okay." Speaking of his son, Yu Cheng's mood suddenly became much higher: "My son is very naughty. The most annoying time was when he was just in high school. That night he sneaked to the Internet cafe with a few classmates Playing games all night, my mother and I searched for him and found him in the middle of the night." He was really angry when he said that: "We were so anxious at that time."

"At that time, puberty was ignorant, and it was quite normal to make adults angry." Xu Baiyu remembered that Yu Jing had also told him about this, and he was a little dumbfounded: "Look at how good he is now."

Yu Cheng smiled and waved his hands: "Xiao Xu, if he treats you badly, come and tell me, and I'll help you deal with him."

Xu Baiyu chatted with Yu Cheng in the living room for a while, until Yu Jing turned out from the kitchen.

"Xiao Xu?" Yu Jing wiped off the water on her hands, and walked towards them: "You are back."

"You just found out?" Xu Baiyu joked, "Teacher Yu just said that if you bully me, he will make the decision for me."

"There is no such thing. How dare I bully you?" Yu Jing smiled and pulled him up from the sofa: "Come and help me chop vegetables."

The two walked to the kitchen together.Before going in, Xu Baiyu turned on the lock screen of the phone to check the time, and then put the phone on the cabinet in the restaurant.

In fact, most of the dishes have already been prepared by Yu Jing, and the dumpling fillings have also been adjusted and put aside.Xu Baiyu looked around, very suspicious that Yu Jing kept these vegetables on purpose in order to find a reason to drag him over.

Yu Jing immediately became the hands-free shopkeeper, took a small stool from the side and sat down, stretched her long legs and looked up at him: "Come on, I'll rest for a while."

"It's clearly exploitative." Xu Baiyu started chopping vegetables, and joked with a smile, "Lord Yu, have I become a free labor force for your family?"

"Who said it's free?" Yu Jing stood up and walked to him, "I'll give you the reward." After saying that, he leaned over and lightly pressed the corner of Xu Baiyu's mouth.

"Brother, I still have a knife." Xu Baiyu expressed his dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not in a hurry right now."

He originally wanted to say a few more words, but unexpectedly, the mobile phone outside suddenly rang.Xu Baiyu didn't even need to think about it, he knew whose call it was.His hand holding the knife froze for a moment, but after all he ignored the phone and continued cutting vegetables on his own.

"Your phone is ringing." Seeing that Xu Baiyu ignored it, Yu Jing went out to help him get the phone: "Don't you want to check it?"

"Don't look at it." Xu Baiyu took the phone and immediately put it aside: "I know who it is."

The poor cell phone rang for a while and then went silent.Xu Baiyu sighed, and was about to put the phone back in the restaurant when the caller ID came back on the screen.

Xu Baiyu looked up at Yu Jing, and met the man's gentle eyes.Yu Jing stopped what she was doing and left a quiet environment for Xu Baiyu.Xu Baiyu sighed, and finally pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

"Bai Yu, are you still working overtime?" Only Xu Jianye's voice was left in the kitchen: "Today is New Year's Eve, Dad will call you and give you a few instructions." The man paused, and then said: "It's Chinese New Year, eat more Come on, don't tire yourself out."

"Okay." Xu Baiyu replied blankly, "I see."

"Baiyu, are you not busy now?" The noise from Xu Jianye's side gradually faded, the man probably walked from the living room to another room: "I want to tell you something."

"I'm not busy," Xu Baiyu lied without changing his face, and his tone remained unchanged: "You can just say it."

"I know you've always cared about what happened last time." Xu Jianye sighed: "Since you went to college, your grandma has told me countless times that whenever you go, let me stay away. I have also It's always been done that way."

"Then why did you go?" Mentioning the unhappiness that day, Xu Baiyu couldn't help asking: "I didn't even say hello, did you deliberately embarrass me?"

"Bai Yu, Dad would never do that." Xu Jianye hurriedly explained, "It was actually your grandma's intention that I went there that time."

"Don't push the old lady." Xu Baiyu couldn't bear it again.

"Your grandma is eighty this year. Although you are still young, you should have met many people of this age when you are a doctor." Xu Jianye was a little excited: "How long do they have left in this life? I see."

Xu Baiyu gripped the phone tightly: "What do you mean?"

"I went to your grandma's house a while ago, and your grandma told me that she felt that her health was getting worse day by day in the past few years." Xu Jianye shook his head: "She used to go to the suburbs every autumn to dig wild vegetables. He fell to the ground all of a sudden and didn't get up for a long time." As more and more firecrackers were set off at this time, Xu Jianye's voice seemed a little blurred under the cover of such a strong background sound: "She said, she used to think that you were her grandson, She can protect you, but she didn't realize until now that she is too old to do what she wants, and it's really impossible to refuse to accept her old age."

Hearing what the other party said, Xu Baiyu naturally felt uncomfortable.He glanced at Yu Jing, and after getting some relief and stability from the other person's eyes, he asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"The old lady doesn't want our relationship to be so deadlocked anymore." Xu Jianye said in a deep voice, "You were raised by her, and she hopes that after a hundred years you won't have any parental affection. As for me," He pursed his lips, and suddenly he didn't know how to express it. Many words accumulated in his chest, but in the end he only uttered one sentence: "You are my own son."

Xu Baiyu didn't speak, neither did Yu Jing.After a few minutes, the surroundings became quieter, and Xu Jianye finally said, "Come to your grandma's house in two days, so that the old lady can feel more at ease."

"Okay." Xu Baiyu replied.

"By the way, you," this title was not easy for Xu Jianye to say, he hesitated for a while before saying: "That boyfriend. I was angry at the time, and I thought about it after the anger. After all, you are not Child, you have your own judgment and choice. If you think he treats you very well and is a good person, I have no problem." He said the next few sentences more difficultly: "I called your mother this afternoon. She also said that she will not interfere too much in your affairs in the future. You must live your own life well. "

Xu Baiyu suddenly didn't know what to say, and taking advantage of the firecrackers going off again, he quickly said to Xu Jianye: "I heard everything you said, I'm a bit messy here, let's not talk about it." Then hung up the phone.

He became confused for a moment.He walked up to Yu Jing and held the man's shoulder: "Hey, Lao Yu, you didn't call him in advance, did you?"

"No." Yu Jing grabbed his hand and smiled helplessly: "I don't even have Uncle Xu's phone number, what kind of phone to call?"

But Yu Jing only told half the truth at this time: he did not have Xu Jianye's contact information, but he could get in touch with Yao Huan.

Yu Jing stood up, hugged Xu Baiyu slowly, and whispered in this person's ear: "Let's make dumplings together later. I specially mixed two dumpling fillings, and the one for you didn't put green onions. .”
