    "I'm so envious, when I was young, your grandfather didn't even give me a piece of grass."

    Grandma came to Jiang Tao's room to admire the large bouquet of roses.

    These days, mentioning roses is considered vulgar, but if it is given by someone who likes it, no matter how vulgar it looks, I like it, not to mention that roses are inherently beautiful.

    Jiang Tao: "It wasn't popular to send flowers before."

    Grandma: "Why is it not popular, rich people will still give it away, and those who have no money will pick a few wild flowers if they have the heart. Your grandfather was born with no romantic tendencies."

    Jiang Tao smiled: "Then why are you with grandpa?"

    Grandma: "Stupid, I have never been in a relationship, I was coaxed by hearing him say a few sweet words, I looked like a decent person, I only found out that he had a problem after we got married and lived together, he was smoking and drinking,Don't mention it, anyway, the life experience your grandfather left me is that when looking for a man, you can't just look at the face, talk and act, and character habits, these are the most important things, and you have to deal with them for a lifetime."

    Jiang Tao understood: "You are speaking for Cao An again."

    Grandma: "That's not true. You two have only been in contact for a long time. Grandma doesn't know much about him. You have to observe him slowly."

    Jiang Tao looked at the big bouquet of flowers.

    Grandma: "Hurry up and take a few photos. I'll dismantle them and put them in a few vases. Let's look at them for a few more days, otherwise it will be too wasteful."

    Jiang Tao thought of walking in the community before, and occasionally seeing a girl come down with a bouquet of flowers and throw them into the trash can together with the household garbage.

    While grandma was out preparing the vase, Jiang Tao chose the most suitable location for taking pictures in the room, placed the flowers she received for the first time in her relationship, and took a few photos from different angles.

    After the photo was taken, the grandparents and grandson arranged the bouquet together, put two vases in the living room, put one bottle in each of her two bedside tables, and put another bottle in the grandmother's room and the bathroom. Even so, each vase was filled to the brim.of.

    The sunlight coming in from the window adds a warm afternoon atmosphere to the bouquet of roses on the south-facing bedside table.

    Jiang Tao took another picture before she closed the curtains and took a nap.

    After dinner, Cao An came to pick her up on time.

    Just after sunset, there were still feathery clouds floating in the distant western sky. The dim light relieved the tension of facing him during the day.superior.

    "You came out to drive before your wound healed. Did Auntie say anything?"

    Jiang Tao always felt that Cao An's current physical condition was not suitable for going out.

    Cao An looked over: "Did my cousin tell you my age?"

    Jiang Tao, who automatically shielded his fierce wolf face, only heard his polite tone as always, thought he was asking seriously, and nodded: "Yes, thirty."

    Cao An: "Since I was in junior high school, they have stopped interfering with where I go."

    Jiang Tao: ...

    If you don't interfere, you don't interfere, just say it directly, why do you have to turn a corner.

    She stole a glare at him.

    Cao An turned around, glanced at her immediately turned face, pulled up his seat belt, fastened it, and drove.

    It was still the familiar road, but the relationship between the two people in the car had changed. Cao An concentrated on driving, and Jiang Tao leaned back quietly in the chair, looking out the window for a while, and peeking at his profile for a while.

    While waiting for the red light, Cao An finally spoke and asked her, "Do you think I'm bored?"

    Jiang Tao: "It's okay, I'm not good at socializing either."

    Cao An: "I don't have many friends, and I'm inexperienced in dating. If you think I'm not doing enough, you can tell me directly."

    Jiang Tao clutched the phone, blushing: "It doesn't look like that at all, you're pretty good at digging holes."

    Cao An: "It's easy to dig a hole. The key is whether you can stay in my hole forever. If I make you uncomfortable, you can jump out at any time."

    Jiang Tao heard this kind of comparison for the first time, and was amused by him, and said to the car window: "No one wants to stay in the pit all the time, right?"

    Cao An: "All houses start from pits."

    Jiang Tao was taken aback.

    Cao An: "Let me introduce again, I am an engineer."

    Jiang Tao: ...

    When the green light came on, Cao An continued to drive.

    When he arrived at the hospital, Jiang Tao's mind still repeated his words, pit and house.

    After the night shift the next day, Cao An came to pick her up as usual.

    Jiang Tao was very sleepy and fell asleep when she got home. Cao An was invited into the living room by her grandmother.

    "Is the wound healed? I made chicken soup, an old hen brought back from the countryside by an acquaintance, and I will serve you a bowl."

    Cao An: "It's much better, you don't need to trouble yourself."

    Grandma: "It's not specially made for you. Xiao Tao can drink it even when she wakes up. The night shift is hard work. I usually give her more supplements."

    Cao An was no longer polite.

    Grandma brought out a big bowl with a chicken leg in it. Seeing that Cao An noticed the flower arrangement on the TV cabinet, grandma smiled and said, "I saw other girls throw away the flowers after receiving them for a day. It's a pity. Put more flowers on them."nice."

    Cao An: "It's pretty, but you know how to live."

    Grandma sat across from him, and was about to persuade Cao An to drink the soup quickly, when she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and immediately put it down again after realizing it.

    Cao An raised his head and looked directly at grandma's mouth: "Is it a toothache?"

    Grandma: "It's okay, I just got angry, and I'll make some honeysuckle later."

    Cao An: "I can't delay the dental disease. I just happen to be free today. I will accompany you to the hospital later."

    Grandma didn't even say no.

    Cao An lowered his head to drink the soup, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. After drying his hands, he held his grandmother's shoulders and pushed them away: "Don't talk, Xiaotao will not be able to sleep well when she hears it."

    The little old lady who is 1.5 meters is not as stubborn as the tall one who is 1.9 meters. She had to bring her documents, medical records and so on, and obediently got into Cao An's car.

    There are quite a lot of people on the dental side of the hospital, and the two of them lined up until it was eleven o'clock before it was grandma's turn.

    Cao An followed her to the clinic, and the doctor took a picture of her grandmother, and immediately made a diagnosis: "The root of the tooth is rotten and needs to be pulled out."

    Grandma's complexion changed. She usually has a strong body, and her teeth are well protected. The teeth that have been with her for decades, is this not enough?

    Cao An: "Can I pull it out today?"

    Doctor: "Okay, go for a blood test right away and get the results."

    Cao An then helped his grandmother to go for a blood test.

    The little old lady was not afraid of ghosts, she was afraid of tooth extraction, and she was fine during the blood test. When she returned to the dental department, she began to tremble when she heard all kinds of scalp-numbing sounds from the clinic.

    Cao An: "The doctor will give anesthesia. It doesn't hurt. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled out when I was in college."

    Grandma looked him up and down at his strong body: "You are young, and you have experienced a lot."

    Cao An: ...

    At twelve noon, Cao An helped grandma leave the hospital. The anesthetic was still in effect, and grandma didn't feel any pain. It was just that Cao An was very embarrassed: "You are still injured."

    Cao An: "I don't do physical work, it's about the same as usual, you really don't have to worry, go home and sleep for a while, I will cook some porridge for you, and eat when you wake up."

    Grandma: "No, no, I can cook by myself. Go home and rest."

    Cao An: "I'm lying down when I go home, so it's meaningful to take care of you."

    The two talked politely together, and when they got home, Cao An pushed grandma into the room after familiarizing himself with the kitchen.

    After all, grandma was getting old, and she was tossing in the hospital all morning, and she slept until three o'clock in the afternoon after taking a nap.

    There was no movement outside. Grandma got dressed and came out. There was no one in the living room. Looking at the kitchen, Cao An actually removed the faucet from the sink.

    Grandma walked over, ignoring the shopping bags on the counter, and first looked at the brand new faucet in Cao An's hand: "Did you buy it?"

    Cao An: "I think the original one is a little leaky. I just went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and bought a new one."

    Grandma: "What to do if it's so troublesome, the old one can still be used, just twist it."

    Cao An: "It's not expensive. There is porridge in the pot, which keeps it warm. You can eat it quickly."

    Grandma was hungry, and she looked at the new ingredients while serving porridge: "Why do you still buy so many dishes?"

    Cao An: "You just finished pulling your teeth, rest a little longer, I'll cook dinner tonight, and eat here by the way, none of us are welcome."

    Grandma: "You're welcome, but you are also a patient, don't be too busy, Xiao Tao will let her do it when she wakes up."

    Cao An: "When we first met, she said that she couldn't cook, and you were always busy."

    Grandma: ...why does my granddaughter lie?

    Although don't know the reason, the grandma is not easy to dismantle the granddaughter's table at the moment. She took the bowl and went outside to drink porridge.

    Jiang Tao was woken up by the regular sound of chopping vegetables. Looking at the wall clock, it was almost five o'clock, and it was time to wake up.

    The body was still lazy, just when Jiang Tao was still wanting to lie in bed for a while, grandma's voice came in: "We Xiaotao really found a treasure, and I gave it to a boyfriend who can cook like you."

    Jiang Tao: ...

    No longer tired and sleepy, Jiang Tao got up as fast as she could, put on her clothes and combed her hair, opened the door and rushed to the living room.

    In the kitchen, Cao An and grandma turned their heads at the same time when they heard the commotion.

    Jiang Tao stared blankly at Cao An, who was wearing an apron, and the kitchen knife in his hand.

    In Cao An's eyes, her cheeks were flushed from sleep, and the left side of her face still had an indentation. Although her eyes were full of shock, they also carried the laziness and daze of just waking up.

    The explanation was handed over to grandma, and Cao An greeted with his eyes. Cao An continued to cut the meat stuffing, and will make a boiled meatball later.

    "Why didn't you tell me about the toothache? Don't call me if you want to pull out your tooth."

    On the other side of the bedroom, Jiang Tao's eyes were red when she knew everything, and her grandmother was happy every day. It was actually Cao An who discovered the toothache first.

    Grandma: "I really thought it was just a normal fire, what's there to say about getting angry."

    Jiang Tao: "I don't care. You have to tell me if you feel uncomfortable in the future. If you lie to me again, I will go back to Beijing and never come back. Anyway, coming back is useless and will only cause you trouble!"

    The little girl was really angry, and the grandmother quickly surrendered: "Okay, okay, I understand, you go and wash your face, and go help Xiaocao after washing."

    Jiang Tao went to the bathroom angrily.

    After washing her face, she came to the kitchen and saw grandma still poking her head in the living room, so she pulled the patterned glass door behind her.

    Cao An was making balls and looked back at her.

    Jiang Tao also glared at him: "That's my grandma, you have to tell me anything in the future."

    Cao An: "Okay."

    After speaking, he turned around again, rubbing the balls as if nothing had happened.

    Jiang Tao was even more awkward. She knew that he was kind, but she was angry because she was negligent and troubled him instead. She lost her temper because she wanted to cool down Cao An's enthusiasm. If it was cold, Cao An might not do it next time.Then take care of grandma.

    "One has a toothache and the other has a stomachache. Let's go to the living room to rest." Jiang Tao rolled up his sleeves and directed from behind, ready to do it himself.

    Cao An lowered his head and rubbed the balls: "You don't know how to cook."

    Jiang Tao gritted her teeth: "I lied to you."

    Cao An turned around: "Have you been in love three times?"

    The lies were revealed one by one by him, Jiang Tao lost the momentum just now, her ears were red, and she lowered her head to avoid his sight.

    Cao An stepped aside.

    Jiang Tao immediately walked over to take over his job, rubbing the balls with a blushing face, hoping that he would go out quickly after washing his hands.

    Cao An did go to the sink to wash his hands, but he walked over after washing his hands and stopped behind Jiang Tao.

    Jiang Tao didn't dare to tilt her head, and she couldn't catch a glimpse of anything out of the corner of her eye, but the sense of oppression was so strong that it seemed that there was really a wolf standing behind her.

    Because she didn't want to be heard by grandma, the voice became deeper and deeper:

    "Actually, I knew you were lying then."

    "But I have feelings for you, it doesn't matter whether those are true or not."

    Jiang Tao's head was buzzing, and flames kept darting.

    Cao An continued: "You don't have to bear any burdens in taking care of grandma. I think that if you pick the peaches that grandma has raised for so long, you must pay an equal return."

    Jiang Tao: ...
