In summer, the days are long, and night falls long after the sun has completely set.
The aroma of the food came out along with the sizzling sound of the kitchen, the dining table in the living room was set up, Gu Xiaoqing was teasing Anya, why not take the fruit to wash.
"Come and serve the dishes."
Qin Guanglin waved his shovel and shouted.
"It's here! Wow~ it smells so good, Brother Qin's craftsmanship is just great."
"Putting up, take it out quickly."
"Hey hey."
Gu Xiaoqing likes the atmosphere here very much, it is more than 10,000 times better than her home, which is what a normal home looks like.
"Brother Qin, is your manga coming to an end soon? It feels like the plot is advancing so fast."
At the dinner table, she gossips to Qin Guanglin. Although Qin Guanglin is considered prolific, painting a work for two or three years is quite exhausting.
"Well, maybe another one or two months... or two more months, and the ending will be on New Year's Day."
Qin Guanglin nodded, "It started on New Year's Day and ended on New Year's Day, which is quite satisfactory."
"Great, have you thought about the next one?"
"Not yet." Qin Guanglin looked at his daughter who was being fed by He Wei, and hadn't decided whether to start the "Daughter" manga.
"Daughter" was planned at the beginning, but the daughter is too young to draw much, and the update will definitely break it. It would be better if you can wait.
"We're still talking about manga while we're eating, Xiaoqing eat more." Why not say hello, take a spoon to feed Anya a mouthful of porridge, and raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you very obedient? Just eat."
"Snacks." Gu Xiaoqing smiled, "Do you want to feed me as a godmother?"
"Yes! Godmother hug..."
"Hahahaha, come on."
Taking Anya from He Wu's hand and putting it on his lap, Gu Xiaoqing carefully fed her spoon by spoon.
Why not take the opportunity to have a quick meal, Qin Guanglin shook his head, "Let her eat by herself, since she's so big, she still needs to be hugged and fed."
"How big is it? It's so small, don't worry... When will I go to kindergarten?"
"Five years old, big classes and primary schools are connected together, don't want to be too early."
"Oh, that's alright."
The couple would take Anya to Gu Xiaoqing's place during festivals and festivals, and they would go and see each other according to the etiquette and customs of Los Angeles. They were considered half-family, closer than ordinary relatives.
After dinner, it was just getting dark, Gu Xiaoqing was not in a hurry to leave, he went for a walk with He Wu, Qin Guanglin followed behind with his daughter, walking on the path.
"Didn't we go to dinner when we first met? He was outside at that time. Seeing the two of us coming out together, he almost rolled up his sleeves for you as a man..."
"So jealous?" Gu Xiaoqing heard this for the first time, and was a little surprised, "Then why wasn't he with us then?"
"I told him to eat by himself, so as not to disturb our chat."
He might as well think of Qin Guanglin's stupid appearance at that time and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that it was the first time he was jealous, and he ate it on you."
"Hey hey... silly." Gu Xiaoqing looked back at Qin Guanglin who was following behind, and shouted, "Brother Qin!"
Qin Guanglin raised his eyes and looked over, Gu Xiaoqing put his arms around He Wu's neck and slapped her hard on the face, then looked at him.
"..."
"..."
Seeing Qin Guanglin's stupefied look, the two women couldn't help laughing, turned around arm in arm and continued walking forward.
Qin Guanglin scratched his head inexplicably, wondering what the hell they were doing.
The night is getting darker, and the stars are dotted in the night sky. At this time, the sky is not as bright as it was in the past few years. The darker stars have disappeared, which is what He Wu said at that time.
The faster the city grows, the worse the pollution becomes.
He still remembered what the young He Wu said while sitting on the stone bench with him:
Wake up together every day, stay in bed together for a while, have breakfast together and go out together; in the evening when you come back from get off work, go shopping together, I cook, you wash the dishes, and then find a favorite movie to watch together, I sit at the table and prepare lesson plans, You draw your own paintings in the studio, and the ordinary day passes, repeat, repeat, repeat, no matter how many times you repeat, you will not get tired.
Qin Guanglin blinked at the night sky, looked down at his daughter beside him, and the two laughing people in front of him.
Now... have you done it
"Dad, why don't the stars fall down?" Little Anya looked up at the sky, expressing her doubts as a child.
"Because it grows in the sky." Qin Guanglin thought for a while, but didn't say anything about stars in the universe.
"Let's move a ladder to pick the stars and eat the stars."
"?"
"It must be delicious."
…
When Anya was able to brush her teeth by herself at the age of four, she was driven to her own room and slept separately from her parents.
In the small room, there is also a picture drawn by Qin Guanglin before she was born. The picture shows the back view of a family of three standing in front of the sink brushing their teeth together. This scene was perfectly reproduced when Anya was four years old.
Qin Guanglin is very proud of this, and feels that he also has the ability to predict the future.
this day.
Qin Guanglin, who was barefoot and smug in front of the mirror, posed various poses in front of the mirror, and finally dropped his weight back to 158, and he felt that he was doing well again.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
"Wife! Wife! Come here!"
"What happened?"
He might as well come in wearing slippers, and see Qin Guanglin looking in the mirror with disbelief, pointing his finger at the top of his head, "I found a white hair!"
"... Isn't this normal? It's a fuss. It's just an occasional one. I'll help you pick it off."
"What's normal? You don't grow... It's over, it's over, I'm old."
Qin Guanglin shook his head dejectedly and avoided He Wu's hand, he never thought that he would have gray hair too.
"Occasionally one can't explain anything. I used to grow a few when I was writing novels. It's normal."
Why don't you hold back your laughter when you see his dejected look, and sit down to comfort him, "Creating is like this, it consumes a lot of brain power. Didn't your manga end a few days ago? You just took a break and you'll be fine."
"I'm going from an uncle to an old man."
"It's okay, just unplug it."
"...don't pull it out, this is a coordinate, I have to observe it, will it grow a piece."
Why not be helpless, "Look at the fart, even if you take one now and then, you won't be in vain in two years."
"No, I don't worry."
Qin Guanglin looked at the more and more mature woman, this woman is like a beautiful flower, it is the most beautiful time, he suddenly has a white hair, how can this be possible.
"I'm still young," he said to himself.
"Yes, you are still young." He Wei nodded.
"I'm strong enough to kill a cow with one punch."
"Well, you can kill a cow with one punch."
"why are you laughing?"
"I didn't laugh...haha, what are you doing?"
"You obviously don't believe it, come here, I have to prove it."
Why not dodge left and right, "Don't make trouble, my daughter isn't asleep yet, I'll take a look."
The life of an old husband and wife can only begin after coaxing their daughter to sleep.
When she got to the door, she turned her head to see Qin Guanglin muttering something while wagging his fingers, and couldn't help wondering, "What are you mumbling about?"
"I'm debating whether to take out the wedding dress in the closet."
