Bu Chensu had never said these words to anyone, not even his grandfather.
He has not been in the habit of confiding his concerns to others since he was a child. After what he experienced, he became more self-isolated.
Unexpectedly, when I said it today, I felt a lot more relaxed.
"Baby."
"Um?"
"Can you... accompany me to see my mother?"
"good."
Bu Chensu took Si Niannian's hand and walked to the corner where she had been just now. He raised his hand and waved, and there was a door on the stone wall.
Pushing the door open, another scene came into view.
It was also a dark night, but it looked more deserted here, and the stars in the sky were a little darker.
Si Niannian looked around.
"Brother Su, are there any zombies here?"
Bu Chensu picked her up and said, "No, although this is the zombie world, it is a relatively remote place. There is no difference between zombies and humans nowadays. Most of them live in the city."
Si Niannian nodded and let Bu Chensu carry her to a stone monument.
Bu Chensu put down Si Niannian, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
Si Niannian also followed, with a very pious attitude.
"There is also a cemetery for my mother in the cemetery in Beicheng, but in fact it is just a tomb. My mother's remaining bones have always been here."
After Bu Chensu finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched the words on the stone tablet. They were carved by himself back then, and the color on them was his blood.
"Mom, I'm sorry it took me so long to come see you."
He would come here alone every New Year's Eve, but he had never opened the barrier seal. He just sat on the stone bed alone, enjoying the torture brought by memories.
After the simple worship, Bu Chensu and Si Niannian left the zombie world and returned to Beicheng.
"Nian Nian."
Arriving at the door of the house, Bu Chensu suddenly stopped.
"Don't boil eggs for me anymore. I don't want to have a birthday that costs my mother's life."
This is why he hides out every New Year's Eve. He doesn't want to hear anyone say happy birthday to him, not at all.
"Then brother Su, just celebrate birthdays with me from now on."
Si Niannian smiled brightly, and some color had returned to his pale face. When those watery eyes looked at a person, it would give people the illusion that the whole world could only see him.
Bu Chensu felt very excited, "Okay, from now on the baby's birthday will be my birthday."
Bang!
Wow!
Fireworks suddenly lit up in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the huge bell on the North City Gate was rung.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
New Year arrived.
"You brat, you're still standing outside. Why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes? Are you ready to eat dumplings?"
Mr. Bu had been watching them in the yard for a long time. He felt that the aura of repulsion on his grandson's body had become much lighter, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
When the Si family saw the two children returning, they finally let go of their worries. They didn't ask anything, they just had a lively reunion dinner.
This is Si Niannian's first year since returning to the Si family.
It was also the first year that the Si family and the Bu family spent together.
"Come on, children, I'll give you lucky money."
Mrs. Si took three red envelopes and distributed them to Si Niannian, Si Muen and Bu Chensu.
The same goes for Mr. Bu, all three red envelopes are bulging.
"What about mine?"
Si Xinghe stretched out his hand to ask for a red envelope, but all he received in exchange was Mrs. Si's slap on his palm.
"How old are you? You are in charge of this family. How dare you ask for money? You should give us red envelopes."
