Chapter 59:

After Li Wei gave the present, he walked straight to Zhang Man. Zhang Man immediately picked up his schoolbag from the empty seat beside him, which was originally the place reserved for him.
She glanced at the old lady awkwardly.
She herself has never been so enthusiastic about coming, and she always has a bad grasp of the degree of human relations. Let him call someone, it feels a bit strange, he is separated by a floor, and he is even farther apart.
Don't shout, it's strange... After all, Zhang Huifang just said that this is her boyfriend.
Li Wei probably just asked Zhang Huifang, knowing the identities of the people at the table, and stood up proactively, without discussing with her, called grandma, and called two aunts and cousins.
The smile is gentle and standard.
Zhang Man was slightly startled.
Today, he carefully shaved his beard and dressed very cleanly and decently. He has been smiling ever since he came here. Like a sunny boy who is upright, polite and tutored.
I can't tell at all that I was diagnosed with moderate depression a few days ago.
And the well-prepared meeting ceremony just now, she didn't even know.
In fact, when she told him to let him come, she didn't tell him too much. After all, Zhang Huifang's operation of the show, she also felt very helpless.
I just didn't expect him to be so serious.
Zhang Man knew that he was probably hoping to make a good impression on her "new family" so that she would not be out of place in the new family.
Her heart was sour and soft, and the hand hiding under the table gently grabbed the hem of the boy's clothes.
Not an intimate act, but very intimate and dependent.
He is such a lonely and deserted person, for her, always learn to adjust many things.
Hearing this "grandma", the old lady smiled so that her eyes were narrowed, her legs and feet stood up sharply, and she moved from the seat two places away to them.
The old man carefully turned out two thick red envelopes from his pockets and gave them to the two children.
Zhang Man opened her mouth slightly, she really didn't expect the old man to give red envelopes, and also gave two.
She was still in a daze, Li Wei reached out and took the red envelopes, solemnly put one of them away, put the other in her arms, and touched her head: "Man, why are you in a daze, thank you grandma?"
Zhang Man froze and thanked them, and saw the old lady winking at them.
"Manman, this young man is the third peace talisman, right?"
After listening to her, Zhang Man was stunned for a long time before reacting. What she said was the three peace charms she gave Zhang Huifang that time-originally only two were given, or did Uncle Xu think of Li Wei and let his mother Take one more.
The old people of this year are better than each other.
Zhang Man smiled and nodded, a little embarrassed.
The old lady was very happy.
Man Man, the child, she saw at first glance, he was not likely to come, and had a dull temper, but like her mother, she had a solid eye.
She has loved children all her life, but her children and grandchildren are thin. The younger son has no children until now. As for the eldest daughter, one son was sentenced to the ex-husband, and she has rarely returned. The second daughter has a daughter. I live with my daughter and son-in-law in the next city, and I am not too close to her.
Originally thought that this was the case for children and grandchildren.
Who knows that this is about to grow old, the son is arrogant, married a beautiful and generous daughter-in-law, and there are two and a half older children. They are both so handsome, polite and well-prepared, and attractive.
Zhang Man was actually a little embarrassed. She wanted Li Wei to get his head together, so she said she was her classmate.
Who knows her mother's lack of heart and big voice.
After all, she has always been a high school teacher in her previous life and has been a class teacher for a while. The most common problem she talked about with her parents was her child’s study, which is her puppy love... She knows that most parents hate it.
But embarrassment belongs to embarrassment, and she doesn't care too much. Anyway, Li Wei and her are not just a puppy love.
In the future, they will have to go to university together, get married, and have children. Since they are all a family, they will meet sooner or later. It doesn't matter if they are late.
The old lady guessed her embarrassment when she looked at Zhang Man's face with a stiff smile.
The old man, who has lived for so many years, may not be as arrogant as young people, but she always has her own way of expressing kindness.
She came over to hold Zhang Man's hand, took her to ask.
"Manman, introduce to grandma."
"Uh... Grandma, he is Li Wei, and I am the same... boyfriend."
When the old man heard her awkward words, he laughed, the wrinkles on his face appeared more because of the smile, but suddenly there was a radiant feeling.
She looked at Zhang Man, then at Li Wei, and said with a smile: "The two children are really nice, childhood sweethearts, two little children who don't guess, they really match."
"Your grandfather and I were together at the age of sixteen or seven. We met when we were studying in London. At that time, I had just arrived abroad and my English was not good and I couldn’t get into the circle of international students. At the reception, everyone I was chatting and dancing. I was so bored that I was crying on the balcony alone. Your grandpa is a well-known socialist at school. He drank a circle of wine and came out from the reception hall to breathe and watch me here alone. Without saying anything, he handed me his handkerchief."
When the old lady said this, the gentle smile on her face couldn't hide.
"At the time, I really felt that he was like a god. Later, your grandfather accompanies me every day to practice oral English and tell me the history of Europe he learned. He tricked me into getting started."
"Time flies so fast, more than fifty years have passed in a flash, the young couple and old companions, I didn't expect this old man to leave before he was old."
She intended to relieve Zhang Man's embarrassment, but when it comes to it, she feels sad.
At such an old age, life and death, ups and downs, and walking through every turn of life to the present, is not the kind of sadness that will shed tears when you think of things.
Just looking at them, I suddenly remembered the old days, which was also a vigorous and throbbing youth.
Zhang Man looked at the old lady and was startled by her words.
Young couples, old companions.
When she thinks about it, her heart hurts, warms, and uncomfortable. For a while, Li Weiqingjun's youth was in his mind, and another was in the newspaper. When he attended an international academic conference, he looked like a young man in a suit and leather shoes, and... in his previous life before he died.
She knew his teenagers and youth, but she couldn't figure out what he would look like when he was an old grandfather, is it also like an ordinary grandfather, his hair is mostly white, the corners of his eyes have many wrinkles, and there are age spots.
Will it be as calm and restrained as it is now, but there is gentle light in her eyes.
Zhang Man returned to his senses, looking at the vague thoughts in the old lady's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable. She was not very good at talking, so she patted the old lady's hand comfortingly.
But from another angle, a big rock fell in my heart.
Zhang Huifang is really lucky in this life. She is honest, not so sensitive, and easy to offend people. Although the old lady has a delicate mind, she looks like a forgiving and understanding person.
...
Since the banquet was available at noon and in the evening, everyone did not leave after the meal. The adults stayed in the boxes and chatted, bragging. A few juniors were not pressed, got into the small private room next door, moved two square tables, and played mahjong.
Zhang Man can also play mahjong, but it is far from proficient.
Among the young people, except for Li Wei, there were exactly seven people, and there was only one short of the two tables. So several cousins ​​pressed Li Wei's shoulders and had to let him pick one.
Their table is her, Chen Feier, Li Wei, and the concourse sister of her uncle's cousin.
The cousin is four years older than them and is now attending college in City Z.
Where can Li Wei play mahjong? Fortunately, Chen Feier is a master. The first few players taught him the rules while playing, and he quickly got started.
There is no automatic mahjong machine in the hotel. Everyone has to manually stack cards. Young people are used to playing and stack cards quickly. The speed of Chen Feier's and cousin's hands dazzled them.
Zhang Man and Li Wei seem to be in a hurry.
She secretly raised her eyes to look at him. The young man's jaw was tight. In order to keep up with everyone's rhythm, her slender hands quickly and carefully stacked mahjong tiles.
Each time, they are neatly folded into eighteen pairs.
After he finished folding, he didn't forget to fold two for her, as if he was afraid that Chen Feier would be too slow again.
Zhang Man was a little funny in his heart.
Really playing cards is even more interesting. He shouted "Eat Bump Hu", and he was a bit more serious than others, as if the mahjong tiles in front of him were so serious and needed to be treated seriously.
Zhang Man suddenly felt that in the future, he should dig more of his other aspects. He used to be only one person. Apart from reading and sleeping, he didn't even have a mobile phone, let alone socializing. His life is too monotonous, and many things have not been tried. She will have to accompany him to try one by one in the future.
"...Manman, can you stop staring at your boyfriend? I just said touch, put down the one in your hand..."
When Chen Feier saw her like that, she didn't fight it out. She picked up the one that her cousin had just played out from the table, paired it with her two, and turned it on the table.
Zhang Man stretched out his paw angrily and put back the card he had just grabbed.
Unexpectedly, the boy also expressed his opinion.
He smiled lowly, arranging cards with his right hand, and reaching out to touch Zhang Man's furry head with his left hand.
"Manman, you must concentrate on doing things, you always look at me, and I can't fight well."
Zhang Man was anxious, and grabbed his hand and poked the back of his hand: "You can't rely on me if you can't beat me."
Chen Feier was accustomed to seeing them showing their level of affection, and only rolled her eyes, while Zhang Man's cousin, who had been single for many years, swallowed calmly.
On the surface, of course, I have to maintain the style of the lobby sister, but my heart has been howling for several rounds.
Lying down.
This boy is too handsome, the gentle and deadly touch of the head just now... 嘤嘤嘤嘤.
Do high school students do so much now?
And her new sister, who originally thought she was a beautiful and cold girl when she first met, how can she become a little white rabbit in front of this boy? She saw too much love in his eyes, right?
? ? ?
How to fatten four?
Why do my aunts smile when I watch two high school students fall in love?
No way, no way, the cousin coughed twice, and decided that she still had to take out her cousin's aura and use the terrible college entrance examination to sound the alarm for the two high school kids.
You can't be abused for nothing.
"Manman, are you in your freshman year now? Do you have a target university? Are you two planning the same university?"
Zhang Man didn't answer, but Chen Feier casually played a card and said it for her.
"North Wind! Yes, they plan to go to B University together."
"?????"
B...B big?
I just wanted to recommend a wave of their college cousins ​​to the younger students and swallowed.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
