Summer Candy

Chapter 8: The old tree is blooming

Views:

Father refused to live here, and there is another reason for himself, because now he likes playing cards. After his divorced father became an old bachelor, his middle school dormitory was opened by many poker players as a poker court. I go there every few days to see him, he is basically at the mahjong table when I go. They will always play five cents a shot, which used to be called toilet mahjong. In fact, the price of toilets has risen. As the tourism heats up, the toilets in Jicheng have charged one yuan; there is even a toilet near the square, which is marked as the only five-star luxury toilet in the city. The charge is 2.5 yuan and a limited commemorative edition is given. A pack of tissues. Their prize for playing mahjong remained firmly unchanged.

When I go to my father's place, I always bring some dishes to cook for my father and his brand friends. The people who came the most were Huang Minxing, a middle school teacher who taught mathematics, Shi Jinze, who retired from the Environmental Protection Agency, and Xiao Lao, who was of unknown origin. Hu Shuanliang also came at the beginning, but now he has money on hand, and then he plays the mahjong in the toilet. It is too slow to win the money, and he can't lift his mind at all. He has been here a few times, and I have not seen him again since. I was cooking and I was full of respect for them, because they won or lost less than 100 yuan a day, but they gave up the opportunity to enjoy the family happiness at home, and rushed over to accompany my father unimpeded. My father's body is obviously weakened, and he will feel more at ease if he can be accompanied by a few people every day. Besides, if my father suffers from three illnesses and two pains, they can help with the preparation and notify me in time. Aware of these, I always try my best to make delicious meals and give them back as a little heart.

One day I was choosing vegetables in the kitchen when Huang Min woke up and walked in. He came late, now he has no place, and he has to wait for someone to get off the table. Waiting is boring, he walked in, as if he was going to help me.

I asked: "Uncle Huang, do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, no." Teacher Huang smiled honestly, and after a while, he moved his face to a whisper. So I took my ears over. He added, "I have something to remind you. Your father's signs of Alzheimer's have become more and more obvious recently. You have to pay attention to it."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

"Among our old acquaintances, his playing skills were good, and his card style was good. But this month, his card style has changed drastically, and he picked it up at the sight of a gun. Jane was so hungry."

"Anything else?"

Teacher Huang glared at me and asked, "Isn't that enough? How can anyone scornfully pick up a small cannon for five cents and smile with joy?"

I nodded, saying enough is enough. He then walked out contentedly. Actually, there is no need for him to say, I have already seen some clues. I have not moved to a famous city by the water, and when I lived with my father, I got up in the morning to brush my teeth. If I got up earlier than my father, I was always worried. Father's mouthwash cup is blue, mine is orange. At night, my father always sleeps later than me. At his age, his sleepiness is dwindling like his hair. After washing before going to bed at night, he would take off the dentures of his upper jaw and put them in his mouthwash cup. For two consecutive nights, he misplaced the dentures and put them in my orange cup. Later, I had to withdraw my mouthwash cup from the shelf on the water bucket, but no similar incident happened.

… Another thing, although it is more embarrassing, it’s okay to talk about it. One evening not long ago, when the clouds did not disappear, I went to see my father again, and as soon as I walked up the corridor, I saw him wearing boxer shorts, unscrewing the door and resting against the lintel. I caught a glimpse of my father's crotch... an egg was faintly exposed. My father is a good example of a teacher, he has always been well-dressed and well-dressed, and I have always recognized him on this point. But that day, the condition of my father's emptiness came before me unexpectedly.

I said, "Dad, what are you doing sitting here? Go in."

He said, "It's cool here."

"It's dark, go in."

"What does it matter? I sit here to rest, not to watch the sun set."

If I remind him further, it will definitely be embarrassing. Besides, what should I say to remind? Did I say "Dad, that thing of yours is exposed... eh, the one on the left"? What is that thing? How to call it? egg? egg? Or call it the testicles in a relatively elegant and written manner? I know that that thing was its birthplace. Twenty years ago, a poetess asked in pain: Tell me, in your waist, which rib is my origin? For obvious things, the poet has to find another source. I think the moment she figured out how she was made out, she must have felt painful, embarrassed, and unbearable in her heart, and finally squeezed out a famous verse. I can confess this, I know exactly where I came from. But at this moment, I couldn't even remind my father that the source was exposed. This is neither a generation gap nor ethics. I don't know what caused the speech congestion at this time. I thought painfully, the Japanese man wore a two-finger-wide loincloth and still covered the egg tightly. Why did his father still expose the egg while wearing loose boxer briefs? Are Japanese eggs two sizes smaller by nature

Fortunately, no one passed through the corridor until his father returned to the house that day. I let out a sigh of relief.

When I was with Diqing at night, I couldn't help telling her about his father's aging. I only cited the example of playing mahjong and catching it at first sight. The dentures and testicles are omitted, for fear of scaring her. She has a good understanding and can understand what I mean by just an example. She said dismissively: "Oh, I see, I will figure out a solution to this matter."

She spoke an understatement, but in my opinion she was a little absent. I know she still thinks about going back to Guancheng, where there is an underground film career that she is willing to fight for for her life.

Diqing said that she would help my father solve the problem. I thought she was talking about it for fun, but she didn't think about it, she was very concerned. Diqing is full of thoughts, and she has already seen the problem during her visit. After all, I was a man, and I couldn't see what my father lacked the most. Diqing went to the marriage agency and filled out the form of my father's situation. The dating agency she went to first called on the day she filled out the form, saying that after computer analysis and matching, Gu Fengnian turned out to be popular (the staff on the other end of the phone said that she was short-selling at first, and realized that the wording was improper). welcome). Of that kind. Three female victims have matched the situation of Gu Fengnian, and they will be able to meet immediately. Diqing went to see the situation first. The three female victims were all beautiful and had well-trained faces. She felt unreliable and worried that the other party would use the marriage trust to swindle money, so she found another dating agency and said it was under the Civil Affairs Bureau. The staff inside were all used to sitting in the office, and they didn’t work hard. , I asked Diqing to pay the money in business, and then he said that there was a situation to inform you, and then shouted behind Diqing, "Next".

Nowadays, information agencies with a poor service attitude make people feel at ease. The better the attitude, the more suspicious that they are cheating.

Diqing told me about these situations after the fact. If I'm late to explain things, it's cut first and then play it later; she makes up her mind alone but it doesn't matter, that's strategizing.

A few days later, the matchmaking agency called and told Diqing to take the elderly on a date. Only then did Diqing explain the situation to me and said, "You make a call now and ask your father to go out at four o'clock. Follow us for coffee and then eat."

"Is it right? Isn't it a bit too sudden?"

Di Qing frowned and said, "You will let me do this. I plan to arrange a blind date for his old man. After the date, he will be rejuvenated, saving you and him from worrying."

"Why don't you discuss this matter with me first?"

"I know you. You mainly did not expect this. He is your old man. You will have a psychological barrier to consider this matter. I know you will agree with me."

I lowered my head to meditate for a while, and laughed pouting. I think she is right. However, I soon had new concerns: "Will I explain this matter to him on the phone?"

"You know your dad's temper better, I can't figure it out. You can see it done."

I didn't explain what I was doing on the phone. I only asked my father to pick a piece of clothing that fits when he came out, and wipe his shoes. My father must have thought that I had something important to announce, so I hurried to the cafe and saw that there were two middle-aged women besides me and Diqing. It was a bit strange. Those two middle-aged women were not actually Accountant Hu, and Dr. Fan did not come.

When he sat down, the woman in the matchmaking agency said well-trained: "Okay, you are all older people, and your children are all grown up. This matter doesn't need to be circumscribed, so let's introduce yourself first when you meet. We follow the principle of ladies first, and let Xiao Shen introduce himself first."

Another middle-aged woman looked a little shy, cleared her throat and introduced herself. My father is not Alzheimer's, he immediately understood what was going on, his face stretched out all of a sudden, he used his eyes to gouge me, but it was not easy for him to have an attack in class. As for me, turn my face away to look at the expression of the talking woman. She introduced herself as a laid-off worker at the Meat Union Factory and divorced the year before last. She also said that her daughter works in a field and she has a facade on T-Zi Street. She does not rely on men for her life. But at this age, she still needs to talk at night, otherwise the night will be too long. The middle-aged woman hooked her head when she spoke, and occasionally paused from introducing herself, and looked up at my father. My father looked like a group of intellectuals, and his face was ignorant at this time, which just showed the unique straightforward temperament of intellectuals. I think there is a drama, the eyes of the middle-aged woman opposite seems to have a sense of love at first sight.

"It's your turn." The middle-aged woman in the dating agency presided over the situation. As she said, she spread out a fat palm and pointed her four fingers together at my father.

"what?"

"Comrades, lesbians are so happy, why do you bother? You two have crossed a century together and exceeded a full round.-I know your age. I said that, you two use subtraction. It also knows how old the other party is." The middle-aged woman in the dating agency saw many blind dates, so she seemed comfortable at this time, speaking straightforwardly, but listening appropriately.

My father Gu Fengnian stood up and said I'm sorry to go to the bathroom. Then he yelled at me softly: "Niezha, come here."

I wiped my face, immediately squeezed out a guilty smile, and followed. I told my father concisely what was going on in the bathroom.

"Why didn't you breathe with me beforehand?"

"Dad, if you explain in advance, will you come? You will definitely not come. I know you too well. You can't save face first, and secondly, there will be a lot of unnecessary concerns in your heart. So I decided to let You are suddenly faced with this kind of thing. Even if the talks are not completed this time, you should understand in your heart that you can just do some things. It's not great to meet on a blind date, let alone shame. Isn't it? I just want to surprise. To break your worries." I was prepared, these words to deal with blurted out. And he was overwhelmed by this sudden incident. He whispered and said, "Diqing's idea, right?" Although his father was dim-eyed, he still knew enough about his cub.

I said, "Obviously, the woman opposite is interesting to you."

My father pretended to be confused with me, and he asked, "What?"

"Please pay attention to them. They are rugged and ruddy. They must be women who can't be idle all day long and are good at living. I'm very satisfied."

Although my father was a little embarrassed, he had to bite the bullet and sit on the scene after coming out of the bathroom, introducing himself dumbly. The other party also listened very carefully. After drinking the coffee, the other party said that he would not eat because of something, which relieved my father's nervousness.

Two middle-aged women left their seats and left. I suddenly thought of one thing, and hurried a few steps over to call the middle-aged woman in the marriage agency. I asked: "Auntie, just right, I still have a little brother. I wonder if you can introduce him to a girlfriend."

"What's his situation?"

"Young, just in his early twenties, in very good health, from Jietianlong Township. His family's conditions are pretty good. His father is a teacher and two brothers. His elder brother works in the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and his sister-in-law is also a teacher."

"If you are in the country, with such good conditions, others are rushing to live with him, you still want to introduce?"

"... When he was a child, he accidentally hit his head with a stone, so he thought that the problem was not so useful."

"A fool? Comrade, we are a formal matchmaking agency directly linked to the civil affairs department, and we are absolutely responsible for the customers we serve. You can't joke with us. We are not suitable for marriage, even if the business is profitable, we will never accept it." The middle-aged woman gave a sonorous tone, explained the policy, and suddenly her tongue turned and reminded her to say, "In his case, it seems that the only way to spend more money is to ask those who run wild to introduce one. I heard that He Jie Tian Long There are several people in this trade in the neighboring Jizhen town."

I didn't react at once, and asked, "Do you have their phone number?"

"Can you call me for this kind of unscrupulous thing? Brother, this is not a call for Bento. If you have no way and no middleman to make a guarantee, those people will not ignore you." The middle-aged woman looked contemptuous. , I realized what she was talking about.

For my father, this happened suddenly. After leaving the cafe, my father gave me a fierce look. Diqing was present, and he got angry inconvenience. He just said, "Don't worry about it, okay? You're not too young anymore. If you have the heart to get married by yourself, you are honoring me." He muttered and left, telling us not to follow. on.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Diqing, but Diqing said confidently: "I think the meeting today was quite effective. Wait, your dad never thought of this before. After seeing this today. , His old man’s mind may become active. It’s not anxious."

Unexpectedly, Diqing was right again. In the autumn that year, the weather was very cold, but my father moved against the season, and his heart slowly heated up. Since the last time the people at the dating agency arranged a meeting, some of my father's hidden and unknowing thoughts have been pried away, just like beer sloshing, once the bottle cap is loose, the foam will gurgle out. He stopped inviting those old guys to come to the house to play mahjong in the toilet and became lonely. He re-focused on his image, getting up every day and taking care of his clothes and hair. He was not in a hurry to find an introducer. He planned to spend a month or two to go to the nearby Park No. 7 to dance the old age dance every day to get his mental head back thoroughly. Playing mahjong this year has damaged some of his physique, and he has to dance for a while to regain his vitality.

Park No. 7 is a gathering place for the elderly, and there are seven or eight dance teams for the elderly every morning and evening. My father Gu Fengnian joined the slow-step dance team first, and followed others with Chaplin-style eight-character steps, shaking and regaining his athletic state. He is recovering very well. He doesn’t need calcium supplements, and his legs have become hard day by day. Within half a month, he jumped to join the fastwalking team on the other side. After a month, he can make a few laps in one breath. With a sigh of luck, he could turn a few more laps in the opposite direction, so that the lead dancer raised her thumb and praised him as the most improved player. Everyone likes to listen to compliments as he grows old. When his father turns in circles, he always forgets his age. His head is dizzy and still keeps turning. Fortunately, the girl leading the dancer is careful and noticed that the old man was a little bit praised, so he stopped him in time.

After New Year's Day, Diqing and I accompanied my father to the dating agency, found the middle-aged woman who had accompanied us last time, and asked her about the laid-off female worker in the Roulian Factory. "She hasn't found her next home yet." The middle-aged woman from the dating agency smiled and asked us to re-register and pay. Because the last service has ended, if you want to continue to develop, now is a new beginning.

"Yes, yes, a new beginning." My father seriously agreed with the other side.

"The last time I met with you, I can tell at a glance that you two can get things done. The main reason is that the girl is interested in you. She is younger than you, and can take care of you when she is interested in you. What else do you hesitate about?"

"Yes, last time my daughter-in-law didn't say hello in advance. I came here before I woke up."

"Wake up today?"

"Wake up, especially awake." Father accompanied the smile. He felt that the comrade in front of him nodded, even if he was the master of the girl from the Roulian Factory.

The dating agency was more efficient, so I immediately called and invited the woman from the Roulian Factory to come out for dinner that day. The woman was a living person. Not only did she agree, she also explained on the phone that she should stop going to any cafes, where tofu sells for a price of meat. She recommended a roadside store, where the taste is authentic, the price is affordable, and it is rich and frugal. During this meeting, the father and the other party exchanged names. The woman from the Roulian Factory is called Shen Lianying.

That night, we had a meal together. After the meal, my father and Comrade Shen Lianying went shopping. The young man is called rolling the road, young and powerful. After all, the old man’s legs and feet are soft and he does not have the feeling of "rolling" at all. Father followed Shen Lianying, and went around outside Park No.7 without knowing it. He went around and walked again. My father is a little grateful for the dancing these days. He has a feeling of "rolling" tonight, and his steps are solid and powerful. After strolling around the boss, Shen Lianying asked him several times if he was tired and if he wanted to rest. He always replied with full anger: "It's okay, it's nothing to go this way."

Later, Shen Lianying, who was more than ten years younger than him, lost his legs and feet, and looked tired. Father contentedly said that this is the end of the day. He put Shen Lianying on the No. 11 car.

Diqing and I have been following behind, observing our father's every move. As soon as the bus turned the corner of the street, his father couldn't help but jumped a dance step on the platform, secretly applauding himself. Then he walked towards us grinning. Looking at his youthful smile, Di Qing and I both thought that this matter was inseparable.

Since then, my father has met the woman named Shen Lianying every day. Being in love makes people stupid. This argument is to be linked to the person's age. In my opinion, being in love makes my father increasingly free from dementia. In those few days, Diqing went to Guancheng again, saying that there was an important national meeting in their circle, and she needed to preside over it. I cook a table of dishes every afternoon, send text messages to my father, and ask him to separate from Shen Lianying and come to me. I want to give him nourishment. Basically, I buy a few stick bones every day and break the stew in the middle. This stuff replenishes calcium. My father also likes to eat stick bones. He drank a bowl of soup first, and then began to smash the bones and suck the marrow. He told me about the conversation between the two of them on the road. Seeing that his mental state is getting better and better, of course I will try my best to analyze it. I asked him to bring Shen Lianying to my place for dinner. As long as she treats my father well, my ex-mother and stepmother will treat me equally and promise to be filial.

The father said: "Don't be so eager, wait a minute."

He had a good impression of Shen Lianying. She was a woman who really lived her life, and liked to discuss fluctuations in the price of food courts with him. She knows all this well. The father felt trivial at first, but listened patiently, and he could taste the taste of ordinary life-not necessarily sweet, but it had a mellow taste. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the life he wanted was nothing more than this. It was enough for someone to do the laundry and cook all the time.

Ten days later, I found that my father's mental state had dropped significantly, and I didn't reply when I sent him a message. I often made excuses and refused to come to me for soup and calcium. I think it is necessary for me to care about him. It is not easy to be in a relationship at his age. Someone needs to continue to cheer up, otherwise it is easy to die halfway. While chatting with Diqing on the phone, she asked about my father's situation, and I truthfully reported it to her. On the other end of the phone, she actually appeared anxious, and said to me: "You have to spend more snacks, follow up on his old man’s mental status, and do work in a timely manner. They are actually faster than young people at their age, and they get better soon. Hurry up, anyway, time is running out, and everything is just a matter of time... If you don’t do a good job when I go back, be careful that I’m not polite to you."

Diqing cares about my father so much. Of course I am pleased, but I feel a little weird at the same time. There is no unreasonable love and hate in the world, and no unreasonable extra care. Then I thought about it, what else could Diqing have? I had no choice but to blame myself for being suspicious. After talking about my father, I asked Diqing what he was doing.

"The meeting is over. I'm doing some work for the TV station and filming in the zoo." Di Qing said, "Do you know why pandas can become national treasures? These days, I have figured it out. It turns out that pandas are among mammals. It’s the one with the lowest sexual desire, and the estrus period is extremely short. Although the male is the principal national treasure and the female is the mother national treasure, all of them look good, but they often dislike each other and are very picky. If they are not emotional, it is No. You see, in order to be a national treasure, you must first be a moral role model. If the breeder can help pandas to mate and give birth, the bonus is quite substantial, so they think about how to make the panda estrus all day long... There is a female breeder. The member complained to me secretly, saying that seeing the female panda always refuses to cooperate, she can't wait to go up and cooperate." After a long circle, Diqing can always return to the topic: "Ya cub, I see you now Dad is like a panda, and you are like a breeder, so worry about it."

I couldn't help being exasperated. Following her analogy, should I help my father pick up the lust that I didn't know where it fell? This thing is not only difficult to find, but you don't know how to pick it up if you find it.

My father called one afternoon and asked me to sit in the Randy Café. My father’s changes really made me feel stunned. Now I know how to go to the coffee shop to pass the time. I rushed over, and my father sat there alone waiting for me, the expression on his face was uncertain, I really don't know if it was good news or bad news.

As soon as I sat down, he suddenly looked at me and smiled shyly. I'm relieved now.

"what's wrong?"

"What to drink, charcoal or cappuccino?"

"Black tea, it's weird to sit and drink coffee with my dad." I said, "What's the matter, you tell me, don't make me panic, okay?"

Father's dark yellow face is very shiny at the moment, and I can see that I still seem to be a little bit proud. He was drinking coffee and slowly telling me about the situation in the past few days-he was obviously being tuned in drinking coffee, and the small spoon was stirred a few times and then thrown aside. I was worried that he was scooping it spoon by spoon. Get up and drink.

He told me that after hooking up with Shen Lianying, he only went to the 7th Park to dance once for several days. When he got there that day, the lead dancer girl from the fast dance group surnamed Zeng said to him, "Teacher Gu, I have been absent for two days. Now you are an active member of our team, and you won’t be able to lift up a few older sisters unless you come." The father said: "I'm sorry, it's urgent, and I don't know your phone number, so I didn't come to ask for leave in a hurry." He didn't expect that there would be people here too. That day, after the dance, his father was about to leave, but the lead dancer stopped him. She said, "Teacher Gu, don’t you need to date today? I think it’s better to miss one day in about three days. It’s not younger than you. Sometimes you have to suffocate a bit and hang yourself when your appetite should be hanging."

The father was very strange. He looked at the lead dancer and asked, "How do you know?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. You and her strolled to the gate of the park. I probably know your situation. I have been divorced for several years. After a dance, people must be a lot younger, right? I work in a neighborhood committee and I know people. There are so many things that I know. The household registration police often ask me for help." The girl said again, "Find a place to sit and I have something to tell you."

"Where are we going?"

"Would you like to find a place to drink tea?"

"Is there a problem?"

"It's still early. I am alone when I go back. I have nothing to do. Talk to me?" Without waiting for her father to answer, she said again, "How long have you known that woman?"

My father suddenly realized something, and asked her: "You have left too?" "It's not over yet, it's forty-five. I'm a careless person." The lead dancer girl finished speaking lightly, and then looked at my father...

"... Did you know, she was looking at me blankly at the time, as if she was still very young." When my father told me, Renzi suddenly lit up, as if the voltage was unstable, and rushed the 25W bubble to 100W. My father also told me that the girl's last name was Zeng, she was very beautiful. Nowadays, women dress up in a fashionable way, and those in their forties are similar to those in their 30s. The lead dancer looked younger, as if she was in her early thirties. The lead dancer raised her hand and led her father to this cafe. Teacher Xiao Zeng took the initiative to talk about his basic situation. Unmarried singles have a stable income and no bad habits. Other hard indicators have been revealed in his father's eyes. No matter how stupid his father was, he knew what Teacher Xiao Zeng meant. He drank his coffee and his heart became warm.

I also became interested and asked my father: "How is she beautiful?"

"Pretty and educated than your mother. Comparing with Xiao Shen, of course not to mention it."

I didn't expect that my father wanted to regain some energy when he danced recently. The father fell into distress again in a moment. He said: "Ya Cub, when people are confused, you will analyze with me..."

"Don't worry, tell me first, what do you think of them?" The look on my father's face made me calm down. I felt like a psychologist, and I even spoke in a persuasive tone.

"Shen Lianying is a woman who lives. If she is with her, she knows how to take care of others. I don't doubt it at all. But I didn't expect that Teacher Xiao Zeng said that she had noticed me a long time ago, and she would give me a look. I didn’t receive it... My eyesight now, let alone throwing eyes, I can't see clearly even throwing basketballs."

"I know what you mean, you still want to be with Teacher Xiao Zeng, right?"

"Am I very outrageous? Teacher Xiao Zeng is younger and more beautiful, so I want to be with her. Logically speaking, it seems that I should be with Shen Lianying. The life is reassuring."

"What's the truth?" I couldn't help laughing again, sipping a sip of tea and pressing it down, and continued, "You have the right to choose, and you have the right to love beauty, so beautiful women can't live?"

"I didn't see it, you know a lot about the things between men and women. I was afraid of breaking this string in your head before, so I didn't know how to find a girl." Father sighed, his face turned gloomy for a moment. Get up and tell me, "I've been talking to Xiao Shen for ten days... At my age, if I make some half-hearted things, I can't live a life even if others don't pay attention to it."

I knew his old man was worried about this. I like to cut the mess with a sharp knife, and simply ask him: "You and Aunt Shen, are you... Already that?" I also made a gesture that didn't seem to be shown to my father. He should understand it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to. Have me.

"What?" Unsurprisingly, the father still had to pretend to be stupid. I don't explain, I just stared at him. He then greeted me with an angry look: "Why do you young people always think of things so mean? I only met her for a few days? Gu Ya, I tell you, selling gangster dog meat with a love sheep’s head, yes You little youths made the evil. Don't use your self-righteousness to doubt the style of our generation. Our old comrades will be in the wind and rain forever..."

Seeing my father's righteousness and strictness, I was relieved. I interrupted him and said, "Okay, Dad, if you have these words, then things will be easy to handle."

"What?" Father instantly recovered his calm.

I said: "Since you don't owe Aunt Shen anything, then let go of your hands and feet to choose. Finding a woman is not only for living, but also for playing mahjong by yourself. You still have to... Uh, how do you say, age is indifferent If you are older, you have to let yourself have nothing else to ask for. How can you live your life while eating the bowl and watching the pot? It's better to just guard the pot and put down the chopsticks."

Father was relieved by my words, and his face was full of joy. He said: "It's still your young people's brain jumping fast, uh, I have the right to do this as you say."

After Diqing came back from Guancheng, he found that the house had become very lively. The mahjong table was full of people. My father and I were sitting across from each other. Shen Lianying and Teacher Xiao Zeng faced each other. Now I already know that Teacher Xiao Zeng's name is Zeng Yujie. Both of them have a bowl of water and I have a flat bowl of water. I turned my head and called Aunt Shen, then turned it around and called Aunt Zeng again, even though Aunt Zeng seemed to be a big deal to me.

… I still prepared a table of dishes that day, and my father said he would bring Aunt Zeng over to eat. After the door was banged, I opened the door and called Aunt Zeng affectionately when I saw a strange woman. Aunt Zeng also kindly responded, and when I looked again, my father's face was wrinkled like a walnut. I didn't know why, and then I found Aunt Shen was also following.

I really want to ask my father how this happened. But at the time, where did I allow me to speak? Afterwards, my father told me that he had invited Aunt Zeng to come here. Aunt Shen came out assassinated and asked him where he was going. The father was stunned, and Aunt Zeng replied on his behalf: "It's all acquaintances, so let's go to his son for dinner together." Aunt Shen was not polite, she said that it happened to be fine today. She said to my father again: "Teacher Gu, I'll go to your place to have a meal, are you okay?" My father was a hesitant person. How could he answer, he had to say repeatedly with shame: "Welcome, welcome, I wanted to call you after the dishes were prepared, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental."

So I opened the door, and the three of them filed in.

The meal was naturally boring. I tried my best to adjust the atmosphere and kept persuading the dishes, but the three of them were bored, and no matter how hard one worked, they seemed self-conscious. After eating and eating dishes, they are still sitting on the sofa boringly, not talking to each other, and the funny and funny programs on TV can't solve this dullness. I really couldn't think of another way, so I took out the mahjong and said, "Otherwise, let's play cards, right?"

Aunt Shen said: "I can't keep up with your lottery. I can at most make five dollars a shot, without a punch."

I said: "Aunt Shen, you are great, my father can beat you for five cents a shot."

All three of them can fight. Jiang is old and spicy, and I change cards a bit slower than them when I play the cards. After rubbing for a day, Aunt Shen said: "Or, I will come to you tomorrow to rub. Go to the store to play mahjong, the speed is too fast. It is better to code by yourself, and you can play cards and can Move your muscles and bones to exercise your body."

Of course, my father said yes too.

After that, the two aunts came every day, as if they were afraid to leave them alone. I took a look at this table of poker players, and I changed three players as soon as I changed them. In the past, Diqing and Jiang Biao played with me. At the weekend, Jiang Biao called and said that I wanted to come, so I had to refuse him, saying that it was inconvenient to have guests at home. At the table, other matters between them are set aside for the time being, only playing mahjong is the business. My father was uncertain, playing cards with his head buried in his head, and didn't dare to look up.

Di Qing came back that day and looked at the situation at the poker table, thinking that Aunt Zeng was a friend brought by Aunt Shen. In the evening, after my father and two aunts were gone, Diqing still praised Aunt Shen with me. She said: "Well, I think this auntie Shen is really a real person. She is looking for a partner and is looking for a beautiful girl to partner with... Is it her daughter?"

"Do you look like it?"

"It's not like, that girl looks young, but she's actually a few years older than me." Di Qing said with a chuckle, and told me frankly, "I just suspected that Aunt Shen brought the woman over and introduced me. It's for you, so pay more attention. The lines in her eye sockets are already deep."

"What else do you see?"

Diqing shook his head. I will tell her what happened recently. After listening, Di Qing was surprised, and said, "I can't tell, your father is also quite carefree. If you have a father, you have a son."

"This is thanks to your blessing. You must introduce him to a friend. It really refreshes his mental outlook. Now this bunch of troubles, I don't know how to end it." I said, Diqing. , She has nothing to say. After the lights were turned off at night, Diqing and I were talking on the pillows, and Diqing suddenly said: "If I were also a man, I would definitely like Aunt Zeng. There is no need to be hypocritical, young and beautiful. One thing is to be liked."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"... If a young and beautiful girl suddenly fell in love with you, what would you do?" Diqing's imagination began to break out, and she asked me if anything happened.

"Then I will become a brother with her father, treat this girl as a niece and love her, and want to criticize her. The world is so sinister, it's not enough for a beautiful girl to have no vision."

After the two aunts came back, I have been with the mahjong table. After a long time, they knew each other, and they gradually became rude. Aunt Zeng’s mouth is a little bit more skinny. Knowing that Aunt Shen used to stay in the meat joint factory, one day she asked in a curious manner: "Sister Shen, I used to hear people say that men and women work in your meat joint factory. They are all relaxed, speak unscrupulously, and are crazy when they make trouble, right?" Aunt Shen was busy playing cards, and asked Aunt Zeng what she had heard.

"I heard that many fetal piglets are too late to give birth, and they are broken in the mother's stomach. After slaughter, you treat all those things as sewage, peel off the clothes and pile them up before selling, right?"

Aunt Shen thought that Aunt Zeng had gluttonous thoughts. She said: "Yes, we used to peel off, one basin, one basin, one foot basin and one foot basin. What's the matter? Now that thing is not easy to get."

"I don't dare to look at it, I don't even dare to eat it... I also heard that those men often gouge down pig whips and bullwhips, throw them at each other, and even secretly hang those things on lesbians On the back of the neck, the long one is a bib and the short one is a braid, right?"

"No, no." Aunt Shen heard the smell of gunpowder, blushing, and said, "No one has done this to me anyway."

"Of course, they are mainly aimed at those young girls."

Aunt Shen sometimes wants to fight back in self-defense, but she doesn't understand the neighborhood committee, nor has anyone said anything ugly happened in the neighborhood committee. So she was going to talk about dancing. Once, she hit a big pie and said abruptly: "I heard that dancing is not a good thing. Jumping around, I jumped out a lot of things that wives and men don't know."

Aunt Zeng said: "Young people have done a lot of dancing, jumping around, men jumping out of three legs, women jumping out of mineral water. We dance the old age dance, except to strengthen our body and want to jump out of ugly things, we don’t have that strength. Yo."

Aunt Shen said again: “It’s better to stay in the house when you’re old. It turns out that the sunset is red. One by one, you put on rouge and tie red silk, go to the street to dance for the elderly, work hard on your own, and the young people just want to Laugh."

As she spoke, she turned over another pie and let it out. The father picked up the flatbread with one hand. When the card is pushed, it is all Ssangyong grabbing the beads.

"You put two in a row, you can't pick it up." Father said helplessly, "I also dance for the elderly. Apart from feeling that I am in good spirits day by day, I don't find any other problems."

Aunt Shen wanted to say something, but she was speechless for a while. As for Aunt Zeng, a knowing smile appeared on her face. Aunt Shen couldn't speak at all, and when she met Aunt Zeng, it was inevitable that the wind would fall everywhere. This makes me think that Aunt Shen is more suitable for my father. Aunt Zeng, her brain turns fast and her articulate is not necessarily a good thing. But at this point, I can hardly say anything. It's already clear who my father is, who knows who he is, so why should I ask myself to be boring

One day, Aunt Zeng came first with fruits, but Aunt Shen hadn't come yet. Aunt Zeng was chatting with her father. She told her father that Aunt Shen’s previous man was not divorced, but fell from the slope after drinking, knocked on a stone on his head and died. Aunt Zeng works in the neighborhood committee and has wider information channels than ordinary people.

"Oh? Then she kept telling me that it was a divorce."

"A divorced person is not called a widow. A man is called a widow when he dies." Aunt Zeng said grotesquely.

"My god." Father said, "I teach physics, not Chinese."

Originally, in front of Aunt Shen, his father was always a little sad. Aunt Zeng dispelled his father’s doubts with a gossip. After that, when he played cards at the table, his father’s attitude overflowed from time to time. gun. Of course Aunt Shen can also feel it. From a certain day, she stopped coming. She doesn't come, and father doesn't call anymore.
