Chapter 229 Bedroom
In the evening, Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua came out of the hospital. Li Zhuangsheng had arranged for an aunt to take care of her, so Lin Yuehua didn't have to stay there all day.

As a devout believer in the master, Grandma Lin was very optimistic and kept urging Lin Yuehua to leave. The New Year was coming soon and many people would buy fruit. It would be a pity not to open the store at this time. If the fruit could not be sold, it would easily go bad.

"By the way, what did your grandma say to you for the last time?" Li Zhuangsheng looked at the faint purple in the sky and smiled at Lin Yuehua.

When the two of them were about to leave, Grandma Lin pulled Lin Yuehua aside and whispered a lot to her, without letting anyone else hear. Li Zhuangsheng was quite curious about this.

"Nothing." Lin Yuehua glanced at Li Zhuangsheng and quickly looked away.

"It's so secretive that even I am hiding it from you."

Li Zhuangsheng was annoyed, but he didn't really care. In fact, he wasn't particularly curious at first, but when Grandma Lin came back from outside in the morning, she was very enthusiastic towards him and repeatedly confirmed his name, which made him feel strange.

Although before this, Grandma Lin was also very grateful for Li Zhuangsheng's help, it was more of respect and gratitude, and she vaguely felt that Li Zhuangsheng had improper desires for her cabbage. But since returning from outside this morning, Grandma Lin's attitude has become much kinder and more intimate, as if Li Zhuangsheng has become her nephew again... or her future grandson-in-law.

Why did this change so much? Could it be that someone told her that Li Zhuangsheng's father was something or other? But she didn't ask the names of Li Zhuangsheng's parents.

"She said..." Hearing this, Lin Yuehua thought that Li Zhuangsheng was a little unhappy. She pursed her lips and gently pulled his clothes. "She said that she went to see that master again. The master said that the two of us...will be together in the future."

"Ah?" Li Zhuangsheng was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that he really treated me as his grandson-in-law.

"That old man, why is he talking nonsense!" Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Lin Yuehua's expression, with an angry look on his face.

Lin Yuehua nodded in a muffled voice: "Well... he's just talking nonsense, I don't believe it."

Li Zhuangsheng's face flushed slightly, and he felt embarrassed for a moment, as if he had broken a window and the owner was going to make trouble for him.

He didn't know how to react now. Should he immediately make it clear that he had no improper thoughts about Lin Yuehua? But it was not a good idea to do so. It was as if a voice was secretly stopping him.

"You still have to rely on yourself for the future. How can you listen to these feudal superstitions? No matter whether they are accurate or not, they are just blind guesses." Li Zhuangsheng said, forcibly changing the subject, "You have to take care of the store these few days, right?"

"Well, it's New Year's Day, do you want to come to the store to study? I have a little sun for you, and it's not too cold."

"No, you have to look after the store and go to the hospital these days, so I won't bother you. It's Chinese New Year soon, and my family is also busy. Let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year. I'll study on my own these days."

"Well... okay." Lin Yuehua's eyes flashed with a hint of regret. She paced back and forth, and then said, "Then you must complete the study plan I made for you. If you just play during the New Year, I will be angry!"

"No problem, it's the exercise book you bought, right? I will definitely finish it!" Li Zhuangsheng puffed out his chest and promised, "But I have a question, are the last few pages torn? I strongly request that you return the last few pages you tore to me so that I can do them together!"

“That’s the answer.”

"It's okay, I promise not to look at the answer!"

"It's a beautiful thought."

Lin Yuehua snorted and laughed, then went forward and punched him twice.

Li Zhuangsheng took a taxi to send Lin Yuehua home, and then prepared to ride his electric bike back to his own home. It was already completely dark, and only two headlights were lit at the intersection of the entire shabby street.

"I'm leaving now. You should also pay attention to safety." Li Zhuangsheng pushed the cart and turned around.

"You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Lin Yuehua said suddenly in a daze, looking at Li Zhuangsheng's back as he was about to leave.

"Yes, we have been together all the time. You haven't eaten and I haven't eaten either. So, do you want to treat me to a meal?" Li Zhuangsheng turned his head and joked.

"I'll treat you... I'm just about to make dinner. Why don't you eat first? " Lin Yuehua took two steps forward, walked quickly to Li Zhuangsheng, and stared at him with her sharp eyes.

Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, then got out of the car with a smile: "...Okay, then I'd like to try your cooking. If it doesn't taste good, you have to compensate me with a pear!"

"I'm not very good at cooking, so my food probably won't be as delicious as yours." Lin Yuehua suddenly felt a little unconfident.

"Then I'll go with you?"

"No, just take a rest!"

Behind the store is where Lin Yuehua and her grandmother live. There is a small yard behind, but it is actually just a small house. The small house is divided into two rooms, the larger one is the bedroom and the smaller one is the kitchen.

Lin Yuehua turned on the tungsten light in the kitchen. The room was simple and crowded, with gray cement walls and no range hood. There was only a small window for ventilation.

"Don't just stand there and watch. Go sit inside!"

Lin Yuehua gently pushed Li Zhuangsheng out of the kitchen, took him to the bedroom, pressed him on the bench, then got up and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Li Zhuangsheng looked around and found that the bedroom was not very big, only about ten square meters in total, not much bigger than Li Zhuangsheng's previous study.

The walls of the bedroom were better than those of the kitchen, at least they were covered with old yellowed wallpaper. The largest item in the room was a 1.5-meter-long bed, and there was only one bed, so I guess Lin Yuehua and Grandma Lin usually slept together. The quilt and sheets were clean, but the quality seemed to be poor, and you could see some pilling at a glance.

Outside the bed there is a small bedside table with a radio on it. Inside there is a plastic wardrobe. Li Zhuangsheng has seen this kind of thing before. His small supermarket used to sell it. Inside there is a shelf made of hollow iron pipes, and the surface is covered with a layer of plastic film with a zipper. It is cheap and convenient, but the quality is very poor. It will easily collapse if there are a few more clothes. Because no one buys it, it is no longer sold.

Opposite the bed was a very old CRT TV, which was cube-shaped with a big belly. I wondered if it was still usable. When Li Zhuangsheng was very young, his family had a similar TV, but they replaced it with a flat LCD TV when he was in fourth grade.

There were quite a few books stacked in the corner near the wall. They were all textbooks issued by the school or daily cleansing books, piled up in several piles.

Another eye-catching table is a table that seems to be a dining table, but it should also be Lin Yuehua’s study desk. There is a small green desk lamp on the edge.

The above is almost all the belongings in this room.

"I brought the Little Sun from the store." Lin Yuehua walked into the room, plugged it in, and pointed it at Li Zhuangsheng. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she bit her lip. "My family is relatively poor... Don't mind it too much."

"It's okay, I think it's quite clean." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

This was the first time he came here, but he knew that Lin Yuehua must have made a great determination to show him her real and poor life.

The other party is a person with great self-esteem. When I went to his house during the National Day holiday, he was very concerned about the hole in the toe of his socks, so much so that he insisted on wearing intact new socks in the following days, and deliberately left his sandals exposed, as if he was proving something to him.

"Let me turn on the TV for you..."

Lin Yuehua frantically took out the remote control from the drawer of the bedside table, but there was no response after pressing a few times. She went forward to turn on the TV, but the remote control still did not respond. Her face flushed slightly, and she reached out to press the button on the TV.

"No need to bother, I don't want to watch TV... I'm a little sleepy, can I lie down for a while?" said Li Zhuangsheng.

After a busy few days, today we finally got Grandma Lin admitted to the hospital. After a few more examinations, she might be able to have surgery before the New Year. I relaxed and the tiredness came over me.

"Sure, then you can lie down... um, take off your shoes and get on the bed, but don't leave your legs out, it's okay!"

Lin Yuehua took the down jacket that Li Zhuangsheng had taken off, folded it gently, pushed his legs inwards, tucked the quilt in for him, and smiled gently: "You go to sleep first, I'll call you when the meal is ready. I usually sleep outside, and the pillow is also mine, don't mind."
