Grandma Xiao bumped her head when she climbed out of the offering table, and it hurt a lot. Lin Jingzhe found the two baskets of candy again, pouting very unhappy.
But even so, the family's young grandson, who has always been the most gentle and obedient to her, still mercilessly confiscated the candy and criticized her very seriously.
This old lady's mistake this time is really bad! For example, in order to paralyze the enemy so that she could hide the candy, she pretended to be unable to walk. After all, the old lady is nearly 100 years old, and an elderly person of this age is already unable to take care of herself. Therefore, although the old lady has always been in good health and her health indicators are normal, none of the thieves of the younger generation have noticed that she is pretending. Lin Jingzhe watched the old lady walk more and more tremblingly, and was so sad that she almost shed tears. Recently, the frequency of sneaking chocolates to the old lady with Xiao's parents and Xiao Chi on their backs has increased a lot.
Now, everything, actually, is fake!
Lin Jingzhe couldn't worry about it, he just felt that he had a child before he knew it, and asked sternly, "Can this be the case next time?!"
The mildest grandson's temper was the most unstoppable. Grandma Xiao immediately confessed and whispered aggrievedly, "No way."
A white-haired old lady stood in front of her with her head drooping, and Lin Jingzhe was also very distressed. Seeing that the other party was trained not to cry, although he still had a stern face, his tone softened a lot, he stepped forward and took his grandma's hand and hid in the corner to understand: "It's not that I don't let you eat candy, but you You have to look at your blood sugar, right? There are so many children in the key compound, shouldn't you be a role model for them?"
Grandma Xiao thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, then tell me." Lin Jingzhe took out a whole box of unopened chocolates from the basket. This scale is by no means given by him, nor can it be a mistake made by Xiao's parents or Xiao Chi. Grandma Xiao's snack and candy intake has always been strictly controlled by her family at two per week. Lin Jingzhe is very concerned about this box The giver of chocolate of unknown origin takes it seriously: "Who gave you this box of chocolates?"
Grandma Xiao lowered her head to peek at his face, and after a while she whispered, "I bought it myself..."
Although the old lady has long since retired, the children have never let her be short of money, and she can move freely. Although she is rarely seen to go out, it is not impossible for her to leave the compound once in a while. Lin Jingzhe nodded, accepting this explanation, but his attitude was still firm: "If you want to confiscate it, it can't be like this in the future."
Grandma's eyes were obviously very reluctant, but Gu Nian could only nod reluctantly after seeing that her son and daughter-in-law knew the outcome of this matter.
After staying in the Buddhist hall for so long, Yu Shuyuan, who was greeting people for dinner when he came out, couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's going on inside?"
When Xiao Chi got up, he pulled him to sit next to him, and immediately there was a fish belly shaved with chopsticks on the plate. Lin Jingzhe glanced at the old lady who sat in the main seat as if nothing had happened, and saw that the other party returned to her usual smile outside. I really couldn't bear to tear it apart, so I just said, "It's nothing, by the way, I put incense sticks on the Bodhisattva."
After saying that, he took out a box of chocolates and gave it to Zhuangzhuang who jumped off the chair and ran over as soon as he saw him.
Fang Wenhao watched his daughter laugh into a little sparrow, and the boss was not happy: "Don't be accustomed to her, the family is now giving her weight control, can she eat candy, snacks, and chocolate every day?"
Hu Shaofeng immediately said cheaply: "Didn't you say that your daughter is not fat? What weight do you control if you are not fat?"
Fang Wenhao slammed his chopsticks: "To be precise, are you looking for a fight today?"
Hu Shaofeng dismissed such threats on the grounds that his father had not been in Yan City recently. When Fang Wenhao didn't complain to his father, Fang Wenhao's fighting power was only a rookie. In a fight, the two sides were at most evenly matched, so he wouldn't suffer.
He suffered so many grievances when he was a child, and it was easy for the salted fish to turn over. He couldn't make Fang Wenhao feel so easy.
Yu Shuyuan had something strange and inexplicable, where did Lin Jingzhe take out such a big box of chocolates. Seeing this, he had to put his doubts behind him for a while, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a big man, and you still fight all day long. I'll beat you, Shaofeng, don't say a word, Wen Hao, you too, the girl is so old, and it's so easy to have a meal with Qi Kai today and fight and kill, isn't it ashamed?"
Qi Kai was stuffed with a plate of dishes. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's alright, let them make trouble. Didn't they make trouble more than ten years ago? I feel cordial after seeing it."
As soon as he said this, the voices of everyone on the table paused for two seconds. The weight contained in the word more than ten years is definitely not as light as the content of his words.
Xiao Chi has been ignoring others, just staring at the old lady for a while when the old lady and Lin Jingzhe came out of the Buddhist temple, at this time, he frowned in the silence and said to Hu Shaofeng and the others, "Where did all this come from? If so, it's time to eat. You, Fang Wenhao, hurry up and take your daughter home after you finish eating."
The way Zhuang Zhuang hugged the chocolate and acted like a baby next to Lin Jingzhe was really annoying.
Xiao Chi hasn't given a good face since Lin Jingzhe first saw his daughter hug and kiss her once. Fang Wenhao was used to it for so many years, but he rolled his eyes and didn't speak. Hu Shaofeng picked up the chopsticks embarrassingly and started to eat, occasionally glancing at Qi Kai's straight sitting posture from the corner of his eye. This kind of long-term living habit was obviously brought out of prison. Even if Hu Shaofeng couldn't empathize with him, he knew that it would not be easy. He has been afraid since the year Qi Kai entered, and this emotion reached its peak at today's welcome ceremony. Seeing Qi Kai who got out of the car, who had no trace of his high spirits, he was extremely grateful that Xiao Chi had pulled him when he was young.
Otherwise, it is estimated that one more person will be added to the typical family that is now destroyed.
The atmosphere is very cheerful, but just look at the surface, you can't think deeply about the content. Everyone, including Qi Kai's topic, deliberately avoided Mr. Qi and the small building that was originally close to Xiao's house. Xiao Shenxing just arranged it seriously: "I just came out today, you must be very tired, and everyone didn't do any ceremony, just to wash the dust for you. Go upstairs to sleep after dinner, and your aunt Yu will clean it up for you. a room."
This was obviously meant to take in the homeless self. Qi Kai held the bowl and stared at the elder seriously. When he was a child, whenever he saw the face that was bound to run away, he was stunned for a long time before he smiled: "Okay. ."
In "Laughter", Lin Jingzhe raised his hand and glanced at his watch, guessing the time: "Tiantian and Miaomiao are coming back."
As soon as the voice fell, the door of Xiao's house was pushed open, the sky outside was already dark, and Shen Tiantian stepped into the bright lights from the night, and shouted from a distance: "I'm coming!"
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, Qi Kai raised his head following the sound, only to see a girl with long straight black hair and a fresh temperament standing at the entrance to change her shoes. The girl is very beautiful and tall, at least 1.7 meters, wearing a white dress, looking at the age of twenty-five or six years old, and exuding the indescribable purity of a female college student who has just graduated breath.
He didn't even recognize who this person was for a while, but he heard Yu Shuyuan get up and shout happily: "Tiantian is back?"
sweet? Shen Tiantian? The shy Shen Tiantian who has no sense of existence in the famous male and female tiger family in the compound?
Qi Kai couldn't even be sure for a while, considering her age, Shen Tiantian should be in her thirties, how can the 18th change of the female university become so thorough? ?
Turning his head hesitantly, he was surprised to find that, unlike the elders who smiled and stared at the door of the Xiao family, Hu Shaofeng and Fang Wenhao of the same age showed indescribable expressions on their faces.
Shen Tiantian's big smiling eyes narrowed obediently, she changed her shoes and entered the room, full of energy, she first greeted the elders politely, and then her eyes turned around on a few hairy bodies.
When Qi Kai came into contact with the other party's pure and joyful gaze, his back felt inexplicably cold, and then the little girl's sweet greeting entered his ears: "Brother Qi Kai is here? And brother Wenhao, brother Shaofeng. , Long time no see~ I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way to get off work, so I came back late."
"It's alright, alright!" Before Qi Kai could be polite, Hu Shaofeng and Fang Wenhao shook their heads firmly and violently, expressing that they didn't care, "It's never too late, we just started eating!"
Shen Tiantian retracted her smiling eyes with satisfaction, turned to her brother, and then stared at Zhuangzhuang who was holding her brother's thigh.
"Zhuangzhuang is so big!" She stepped forward and hugged the stiff little chubby dimple and kissed him firmly, and then after trying twice, she finally picked him up and threw it into her father's arms: "It looks normal Don't eat well, I'm much thinner than when my aunt saw you last time, let your father feed you more!"
Seeing the big man's cheeks puffing up so strong and fat, even if he loves her like Lin Jingzhe, he can't say such unconscionable words. Lin Jingzhe looked at the back of his kind sister and was immediately full of love. He sighed and poked Xiao Chi: "Look, Tiantian likes children a lot."
Xiao Chi looked at Fang Wenhao, who had been smashed by Shen Tiantian's strength and the weight of the little piggy's own body, and glanced at Lin Jingzhe, who smiled like an old father. Are you serious?
Shen Tiantian threw away Zhuangzhuang, took advantage of the situation and took the opponent's position, sat down beside Lin Jingzhe, and was on the left and right with Xiao Chi.
The aunt of the Xiao family put a new plate on for her, Lin Jingzhe put a shrimp for her, and asked warmly, "Are you tired? Why didn't Miaomiao come back with you?"
Shen Tiantian quickly looked at Xiao Chi, not letting Xiao Miao come back to see Qi Kai was Xiao Chi's intention, although she didn't know why, but according to the cooperation agreement between the two sides, she still temporarily concealed Xiao Miao and Qi Kai's release from prison news. This matter seems to involve Xiao Miao's privacy, so I can't tell others more, for fear of my brother's questioning, Shen Tiantian immediately rubbed her shoulders and ignored the question: "Don't talk about it, I'm so tired recently, I haven't been in a long time. Eight hours of sleep."
Brother Jingzhe's attention was immediately diverted by the content of his sister's words, with a distressed expression on his face: "It's pitiful, it's so hard, eat something and get a good night's sleep, don't go to the company tomorrow, do you have any cooperation with me? Ask your brother Gao Sheng to help you talk."
In a certain office building in Yanshi City, the boss Gao of Gaosheng Media, who has no time to take vacations for more than a month, is still leading his employees to turn on the lights and fight at night for no reason. He sneezed at the dazzling computer screen. .
Shen Tiantian was easily appeased by her brother's concern because she saw the unhappiness in Qi Kai's heart. Although she was still thinking about how to get into a business with her own company tomorrow when she was driving on the way back, she still didn't know what to do at this time. Hesitantly nodded: "Yeah!"
She and Xiao Miao's website has been around for more than ten years since its establishment. With the support of the two Internet giants, the two investors, and the support of the two Internet giants, the scale has long been separated from the small scale when they were first founded. workshop mode.
The transition to a for-profit creative environment has greatly normalized what was previously a blank and chaotic market. With the expansion of the website, Shen Tiantian and Xiao Miao's cultural company added another video website ten years ago. At the same time, after the establishment of Gaosheng Films, a long-term cooperation strategy was formulated with Gaosheng, and the continuous stream of production began. The film market delivers high-quality scripts. Two of the four films that Gao Sheng has invested in recently were adapted from novels, and the copyrights bought by other film companies in the same industry are too numerous to list. But now the big boss Shen Tiantian, who has already made a lot of money by virtue of his own ability, the first sentence after seeing his brother is still: "Where is my gift?"
"In the car." Lin Jingzhe was entangled by his younger sister's ten-year-old childlike temperament, his smiling eyes narrowed into two curved lines, feeling that he was almost done eating, he simply put down the bowl and went out, "I'll go. Get it for you."
The two brothers and sisters went out one after the other, Yu Shuyuan at the dinner table looked at the pair of warm backs, and thought that as long as there were no outsiders in his family, his children would be bound together, and he couldn't help but sighed enviously: "How wonderful. Two children, innocent and carefree."
Hu Shaofeng and Fang Wenhao looked at the elder who didn't seem to be telling a lie: "..."
naive... carefree...
If you guessed correctly, are you describing Shen Tiantian, who is called "the piranha who can only be seen from a distance" by all the collaborators in the business world?
Many years ago, because he laughed at the other party because he couldn't get married, he has been rectified until today, but no matter who he complained to the elder around him, no one wants to believe Hu Shaofeng, chewing the mouthful of food that tasted the same since the other party appeared, and the raging tears could only Silently flow to the heart.
Lin Jingzhe took out a long gift box from the trunk of the car and opened the lid: "Dangdang!"
"Wow!!" Shen Tiantian's eyes lit up immediately and made an expression of infinite surprise, even if the price of this box of dozens of lipsticks was already too small for her to mention, and the dressing room at home was already full. Hundreds of unfinished stockpiles, she was still jumping up and down, "Brother, how did you know that I was just in time for red use!"
"I know you like it." Lin Jingzhe looked at her younger sister, who was in her thirties and still as innocent and lovely as a child, with tender eyes, and gently rubbed the other person's head. She kept the same style for more than ten years because of her own suggestion. His hair was warm, but he was also worried about the future of the other party. Shen Tiantian is already in her thirties, and she has been in several relationships during this period, but it may be because she is too obedient. It always ends up in a breakup, presumably she has been hurt by many scumbags. She didn't appear to be in a hurry, but Lin Jingzhe was always worried about her. It wasn't because of the ridiculous rule that a woman should get married or have children at any age. It was just that Lin Jingzhe, who used to be lonely, knew too much about the desire for someone to accompany her. the taste.
His sister is so ignorant of the world, there should be someone to accompany her to protect her and love her. When Lin Jingzhe woke up from Xiao Chi's embrace every morning, thinking of this made him feel uncontrollably anxious. Shen Tiantian just picked a lipstick and put it on her mouth no matter what color she opened it, Lin Jingzhe took the box she didn't have in her hand, sighed softly, and brought up the old question again: "I had a while ago. When I went to Silicon Valley for a meeting, I met a young man who was unmarried and had a good personality. He was tall and handsome…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Tiantian guessed the content behind, and the movement of wiping lipstick paused for two seconds, and then resumed as if nothing had happened.
Her brother is worried about her marriage. Shen Tiantian knows that, in fact, Shen Tiantian herself really wants to fall in love. It's not bad to find a soul mate like her brother and Xiao Chi to have a good life and be with Meimei, but the key is that she wants to have for what? Does she think those stupid men can stop being stupid?
I don't want to be as perfect as her brother, or it's okay to have someone like Xiao Chi, but thinking of her previous boyfriends, Shen Tiantian only has the urge to swear.
At first, they all looked like dogs. After they were together, all kinds of monsters and ghosts appeared. They liked to brag, who had not yet been weaned, thought that I was the best in the world, and even wanted to influence her. Life. fuck it! Shen Tiantian beat them one by one and swept them out.
But she must not let her brother know about this, otherwise she will have to teach her not to be rough.
Shen Tiantian only put on a noncommittal attitude in the other party's gentle introduction: "Okay, brother, if you say anything good, see you when you see it, I will listen to you."
So good, Lin Jingzhe touched Shen Tiantian's head again.
A beam of light suddenly lit up outside the quiet yard, followed by the sound of a car engine. The brothers and sisters cast their gazes at the source of the sound unexpectedly, and then saw a low-key and unfamiliar commercial vehicle slowly driving in. yard.
Who is this? Lin Jingzhe glanced at the license plate, but he couldn't remember seeing it before. Who knew that after the car stopped, an unexpected person came out.
"Miaomiao?!" Lin Jingzhe showed a surprised expression. Just as he was about to ask the other party when he was getting a new car, the next second, his surprised expression suddenly turned serious.
A very handsome young man stepped down from the driver's seat. After seeing Lin Jingzhe and Shen Tiantian, he paused for a moment, and then heard Xiao Miao calling Lin Jingzhe for his brother, he was shocked, and immediately bowed solemnly: " elder brother!"
Who is your brother? The chickens are screaming in here. The other party was courteous, but Lin Jingzhe immediately felt very unhappy. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Xiao Miao's arm behind him, frowned and asked, "Are you...?"
Xiao Miao replied softly behind him: "Brother, he... he is my boyfriend."
Xiao Miao's boyfriend straightened up, obviously very nervous, quickly rushed to the back of the car, opened the trunk and began to take out the gift, and then found the gift for Lin Jingzhe, and respectfully brought it with both hands: "Brother, you Good! I heard that you like drinking tea, this is a set of purple sand tea set specially made by me, I hope you like it!"
But his voice fell, and after a long time, he didn't hear Lin Jingzhe's echo.
The newly arrived little son-in-law lowered his head and waited anxiously for a while, and finally couldn't help but raised his head cautiously.
Lin Jingzhe stood in front of him, his eyes were dull and his expression was stiff, obviously he couldn't recover from the shock of the scene in front of him.
male... boyfriend...
Xiao Miao... Actually, she brought her boyfriend to the door...
His sister, his lovely and clean sister, was finally beaten by a pig...
Lin Jingzhe had clearly been looking forward to this day for several years, but at this moment, he only felt that he had suffered an unprecedented blow, like five thunders hitting the top, killing his soul and soul.
He sat beside Xiao Chi with his head down and listless, and he had no appetite at all.
Xiao Chi's face was as if ink had been splashed, and his sharp-edged eyes were fixed on the uninvited guest.
He was originally worried that Qi Kai's appearance would make Xiao Miao recall the shadow of being kissed forcibly many years ago, so he not only concealed the news of the other party's release from prison from his sister, but also told Shen Tiantian not to reveal the slightest clue.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Miao was the first to surprise him.
Looking at the stinky man who had intentions towards his sister, it was not a good idea at first glance, if he hadn't been worried about the presence of his family and elders, Xiao Chi would have beaten him out with three fists and two kicks!
Xiao Shenxing grimaced—he also felt angry.
The three men in the family clearly expressed their resistance. The appearance of the new guest made the Xiao family's dining table silent for two seconds. After Xiao Miao's boyfriend gave the gift he brought, Yu Shuyuan was the first. reacted.
She was full of reluctance, but it was a good thing for her daughter to find someone she could bring to her family, so she just greeted her with mixed emotions: "Sit... Sit down."
Xiao Miao's boyfriend put his butt on the stool tremblingly, and felt the gazes that were gathering towards him from all directions... qi... the atmosphere was terrible!
At a glance, she recognized Qi Kai, who had not seen him for more than ten years, and Xiao Miao realized what she was seeing. She reluctantly glanced at Shen Tiantian who lied to herself when she got off work and said that she had an appointment to leave early, and then she said, "Long time no see. "
Qi Kai was a little embarrassed, because of some stupid things he did when he was young, but Xiao Miao's tone was as cold as he remembered, and he seemed to be much more relaxed than him.
"Indeed... long time no see."
Xiao Miao sat down, helpless with the hostility emanating from his father and brothers, and simply chatted with him awkwardly: "How are you doing these past few years?"
"It's good." Qi Kai smiled apologetically in Xiao Miao's eyes, looking at the young, plump and beautiful face that couldn't see a single wrinkle, "It looks like you should be pretty good too."
In her thirties, Xiao Miao is still the same, with a temperament that does not eat human fireworks, people always think that she is not easy to get close to. But since he can bring his boyfriend back to see his parents, he obviously lives a mortal life.
That's fine, easy, and peaceful.
I hope that my appearance is just an unpleasant episode in the other person's life that can be thrown into the garbage and no longer recalled.
This change occurred in the reception of the wind, and the guests at home were not able to sit down any longer, and they all got up and said their goodbyes.
The old lady got up diligently and said, "I'll see you off."
At this moment, no one has the heart to fight for errands with her. The old lady went out the door and told everyone with a smile that they would come to play often in the future, and then patted Zhuang Zhuang's head with pity, and squatted down and stared at her with a pleasant smile.
Zhuangzhuang: "..."
Driven by a strong biological instinct, Zhuangzhuang consciously opened the chocolate box and gave the grandma a handful.
"Good." Grandma Xiao took out the money from her pocket and stuffed it into the child's hands. "Next time you come to grandma's house to play, remember to bring two more boxes for grandma. It's the same as before, and you will be divided in half."
Xiao's mother watched the guests go out, and gently arranged for Qi Kai to go upstairs to rest, then sat down and formally met with Xiao Miao's boyfriend.
She asked in a warm voice, "you child, come here, and bring so many things. How long have you been with Miaomiao?"
The other party answered cautiously: "Three...three years, I have liked Xiao Miao since the first time I saw her three years ago."
Before Xiao's mother could speak, Xiao Chi with a sullen face took the lead in saying, "Who asked you this? How long have you been together, what is the number from the day you met?"
The other party is also a prominent family outside, but at the moment, he was so frightened by his words that he didn't dare to breathe, and quickly answered honestly: "It's only been one year and three months since we were officially together."
Xiao Chi snorted from his nose. He came to see his parents in one year and three months. Today's young people are really child's play.
Seeing his disdainful expression, the other party quickly explained: "Please believe me! I am serious about Xiao Miao! My family is also very satisfied with Xiao Miao. If possible, I hope to formally form a family with Miao Miao at the end of this year! "
Big talk!
Xiao Chi couldn't sit still anymore, he slapped the table with a cold face, led Lin Jingzhe with his sleeves and left, and went straight upstairs.
The little son-in-law was a little embarrassed by his brother's apparent resistance, Xiao Miao patted him: "I'll go and talk."
In the study on the second floor, if two brothers who were struck by lightning hugged each other, they would not accept the reality.
"It's so outrageous!" Xiao Chi commented on the guy who was eager for quick success and quick profit, but he lied about being in love for three years and wanted to marry Xiao Miao, "Dream it!"
"That's right!" Lin Jingzhe was listless, and he shared the same hatred. He instantly dismissed all thoughts of introducing objects to his sister, and scolded angrily, "Leap, want to eat swan meat!"
******
In the chaotic night, Xiao Miao's marriage did not get the approval of her brothers in the end. Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi both felt that it was too outrageous, how could they get married after being together for more than a year!
no! Absolutely not! It must be observed for a few more years! Otherwise they would never agree!
Qi Kai heard it in the room through the wall, but it was Xiao's housework after all. It was obviously very inappropriate for him to sit in or intervene, so he could only sleep on the Xiao's quilt filled with Buddhist fragrance, and he was full of mixed emotions. fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Chi had a nightmare all night, dreaming that Xiao Miao suddenly became mad and had to run away with the little slut last night. He was so angry that he woke up directly from the dream and wanted to pull Xiao Miao out and beat him on the spot.
No, this breath must not be swallowed, this afternoon, Xiao Miao must be troubled early.
Xiao Chi patted last night that Shen Tiantian was worried that Shen Tiantian would do the same thing one day. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep because of the nasty brother-in-law he imagined. Even now, it was obvious that Lin Jingzhe, who was still sleeping very restlessly, was behind. Back, until the other party's brows gradually stretched out, then a kiss fell on the other party's forehead, and he got up lightly.
He opened the door and faced Qi Kai who was about to go downstairs.
Qi Kai turned around and looked at each other for two seconds, looking at each other's neat outfits and the subtle smile on their faces, Xiao Chi's brows furrowed: "It's not dawn yet, where are you going? "
Qi Kai tightened the backpack on his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "I'll go to Heyuan to see my grandfather."
Xiao Chi stared at his expression for a while, his eyes were sharp and deep, Qi Kai's face was stiffened for a moment, and he turned his head in such a sight that could almost penetrate people's hearts.
The two sides were tired of looking at each other. Xiao Chi wanted to say something but in the end he didn't. He just snorted out of his nose impatiently: "Go away."
Qi Kai paused before stepping forward, and when he went downstairs, he happened to meet Grandma Xiao who had finished her morning class. The door of the Buddhist hall opened from the inside, and the thick mist of the incense candles poured out with the old lady's footsteps. The old lady saw them and said Amitabha first.
She looked at Qi Kai who was wearing shoes, and her eyes stopped for a moment in the other's eyebrows: "Go to the south of the city?"
"Yes." Qi Kai said, "Go and see my grandfather."
Grandma Xiao watched his actions, sighed for no reason after a while, and took out a paper package from her coat pocket: "Just right, I have bad legs and it's not convenient to visit, so you can help me burn the paper by the way. ."
"Hey!" Qi Kai took the packet of paper and slid it into his pocket and replied, "I remember it!"
After watching him disappear from the door, Grandma Xiao shook her head, her deep expression was fleeting, and she turned around and spread out her hand towards her grandson: "Give me some money."
"..." Xiao Chi looked back at the door in dissatisfaction, and the old lady threatened, "If you don't give it, just copy the scriptures with me."
Xiao Chi had to reluctantly took out his wallet and handed the cash to her, and couldn't help complaining while giving it: "Give you the money, and then take it back and let the stump from the Fang family buy chocolate for you, buy it and give her half, and the other half. Half of it was confiscated by us again, and you can't eat any of it, that stump is getting fatter as it grows, is it interesting?"
Why is it boring?
Grandma Xiao smiled and snatched the money from her grandson.
Is the joy of hiding a small vault obtained the moment it is spent? Obviously not.
Even if she has lost all her teeth and cannot touch all sweets, on the day she dies, she must be an old lady whose coffin is filled with imported boozy chocolate.
The sun gradually rose, and Lin Jingzhe finally woke up. Because of the fact that his sister found a boyfriend, he was still lacking energy at breakfast. After drinking a whole bowl of porridge with Haitang pickles, he suddenly thought of something: "Where's Qi Kai? Haven't you got up yet?"
Grandma Xiao drank the porridge silently, and Xiao Chi peeled him a hard-boiled egg.
Yu Shuyuan glanced at her watch, it was already past ten o'clock, she got up and said, "I'll call him."
A few moments after she went upstairs, there was an exclamation, Lin Jingzhe almost choked, put down the bowl and looked up, Yu Shuyuan hurried down with a piece of paper in hand.
She stood in front of her family, but she couldn't get back to her senses: "Qi Kai is gone!"
Unprepared, Lin Jingzhe took the letter paper that she was clutching tightly in her hands and spread it out. His eyes were full of bad words, and it turned out to be a short farewell letter.
In the letter, Qi Kai thanked the Xiao family for the reception banquet yesterday, and thanked the Xiao family for accepting them regardless of previous suspicions. He only said that the city of Yan was his sad place. He planned to bid farewell to this place and go to a place where no one knew about him and start his life again.
"How did he start over? He didn't have a penny on him!" Lin Jingzhe immediately panicked, and didn't know where to look for him when he got up.
Xiao Shenxing chewed the egg in his mouth, his eyes were very complicated, and after a long while he sighed softly: "Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, and he also has his own ideas. Let's not interfere."
Lin Jingzhe walked towards the door with the letter paper in his hand. He looked at the blue sky above his head. The weather in Yan City was very good today, and the sky was clear.
Where will Qi Kai go? A small city like Liyun?
He was at a loss as the other party left without warning, until after a burst of warmth, Xiao Chi came up from his back.
The face felt a kiss that was touching, and the familiar breath enveloped the whole body.
Xiao Chi didn't say anything, just hugged him quietly.
****
In the south of the city, Heyuan, and in front of the tombstone, Qi Kai quietly kowtowed three times to his grandfather.
He didn't cry, just looked at the familiar picture of the old man on the tombstone, which was no different from the one he remembered.
The turbid eyes in the black and white image of Grandpa seemed to be watching him.
Qi Kai glanced at Dongsheng's sun, laughed out loud, touched the photo on the stone tablet in front of him, and said in a relaxed tone, "Old man, take care of yourself."
There was no response, and he was not sad. He reached out to wipe the dusty ground in front of the tombstone, put the box of Go he brought there, and patted the box lightly: "I'm leaving."
He glanced at another funeral building in the distance where the ashes were stored, took a deep breath, opened the bag and looked at the iron hammer inside. When he got up, he suddenly thought of something, took out the old lady Xiao from his pocket and asked him to big paper package.
Since he had promised the other party, he had to do it. He took out his lighter, opened the paper bag, and prepared to burn the paper money before leaving.
The flame gradually eroded the paper, leaving behind a pot of ashes. Qi Kai found a branch and tugged at the lump of paper in the pot, trying to make it burn more vigorously.
Who knew that there was a bang in the next second, and some hard object fell out of the paper.
He hooked it out with a branch, and found that it was a yellow-orange-orange key.
key?
Qi Kai was a little confused when he looked at the small key. So, did the old lady accidentally put the key in the house?
But after burning the paper money, he still left for the funeral building, where the ashes of another person were stored, and he wanted to take him away and bury him in her homeland.
The small grills where the urns were stored were filled with walls like lockers. Qi Kai found the number and looked back. The administrator was not looking after the room.
His hand touched the iron hammer in the backpack, and when he was about to take it out, for some reason, he subconsciously looked at the copper key that the other hand had been holding.
Fascinated, he inserted the copper key into the keyhole and twisted it slightly.
With a click, the storage cabinet opens.
It's a good day, cloudless.
The breeze was blowing from a distance, Qi Kai stepped down the stairs, and there was already a dilapidated off-road vehicle waiting there.
The off-road vehicle lowered the window, revealing a few familiar faces with bright smiles. He was released from prison a few years earlier than him. The few inmates he knew in Dongping Prison were not of any quality. They chatted loudly with each other with their cigarettes in their mouths.
"It's over?" Seeing him come out, the inmate in the driver's seat lowered the roof of the off-road vehicle and looked at the small wooden box he was holding in his arms against the warm sunlight, "Fuck, this urn is too playful. Come on, the color is so fucking ugly!"
Qi Kai seemed to be in a trance, and was instantly pulled back to his mind by this sentence, he lowered his head and stared blankly at the jerky poppy flower on the box, and after a while raised his face, showing a real smile: "Go away! "
With one hand on the car window, the muscles of his arms suddenly bulged slightly, jumped directly into the car seat from the open gap, and kicked the seat in front of his feet: "Let's go!"
When he took out the unused hammer in his backpack and wanted to throw it away, his hand accidentally touched a thick envelope. When he took it out and opened it, it turned out to be a stack of US dollars.
A note was pulled out along with the US dollar, with Xiao Chi's vigorous handwriting on it - "Go away, it's a smooth journey."
He looked at the note and laughed, until the corners of his eyes ooze clear liquid. The buddy with tattoos on the driver's seat turned back and laughed at him: "Going to Thailand is worth the joy?"
Qi Kai gave him a punch, glanced at the sentence again, then raised his arm and released it gently, letting the note be swept away by the howling wind.
The old SUV's not-so-great sound was playing a rock 'n' roll, rhythmically, on and off, in English, with a strong rhythm, with the singer hysterically saying goodbye to his past on the bass.
Qi Kai learned this song with his friends in prison, and sang it happily in the wind. The song floated on the road and came to the wilderness, and was attracted by many passers-by and car owners.
Modern, beautiful, and hurried, Yan City, which has built countless expensive high-rise buildings and people who live in it, was instantly left behind by this broken car, along with many memories and deceased people.
Just so dusty, never seen.
