Backtracking boat

Four years later - Shanghai.

The car drove into the urban area of ​​Shanghai. In the evening, the traffic jam was severe, and there were people returning home trapped in tin boxes on four wheels.Sitting in the co-pilot, Shen Mo joyfully took out a set of Suzhou embroidery baby clothes that were exquisite but could not be seen for the third time and admired them over and over again. Xiao Yi's patience finally reached the limit, and he snatched the clothes Throwing it to the back seat: "I started watching it when I got in the car, and it never ends."

Shen Mo smiled when he heard the words, and reached out to pinch Xiao Yi's earlobe: "Why, you want me to see you."

Xiao Yi tilted his head, avoiding Shen Mo's fingers, and said with a sneer, "What's so interesting about me, I guess you're tired of seeing it. But I didn't realize that you like children so much, and this gift comes in a set. "

"It's okay, don't you like it?"

"Ah."

Shen Mo adjusted the back of the seat back so that he could lie down more comfortably.He looked at Xiao Yi's cloudy face, and secretly complained: Getting angry every second, I really spoiled this person.But the mouth is habitually flattering: "Are you jealous of the child? Yiqi's second daughter is full moon wine, so don't bother to think about it, otherwise, is this uncle called for nothing? Don't make trouble, be good."

It's a pity that Shen Mo thinks that he has accumulated deceptive combat experience for a long time, but every time he makes a mistake, he always yells at Xiao Yinilin. The word "uncle" successfully made the face of the driver turn dark, and the car was jolting like walking into a pit.Shen Mo was speechless immediately, and said out of conscience: "I don't know Luo Qianzi well, and my uncle doesn't recognize me because of my face. Besides, how can a godfather have his sons and daughters and a bunch of godfathers, don't you? Ren Hong doesn't ?"

This statement is as good as it is skillful, but there are a few truths in the midst of many flaws, which makes people feel troubled to refute.When Lin Yiqi and Luo Xizi first got married, they were immersed in the world of the two, and basically abandoned their original brothers.The eldest son was born three years ago, and Lin Yiqi, the new baby daddy, quickly turned into a dazzler madman. He gathered a small group of godfathers and bombarded the baby's photos every day.

Last month, the Lin family had another baby girl. The little girl pecked at the jade carvings and laughed at everyone. She was very lovable.It just so happened that Zhang Fenghui went to Beijing to visit Luo Xizi's parents. When she saw the baby in the hospital, she immediately recognized her granddaughter.Rare things are more precious, a god-uncle is better than a bunch of god-fathers.

Lin Yiqi's heart is as big as the sky, and everything goes well after having a child, he has long forgotten the past of Shen Mo and Luo Xizi's unsuccessful attempts a few years ago, but Xiao Yi has always been unable to let go of it.The sand in the clam flesh can form pearls, but the knot in the human heart can only produce stones.Since being transferred back to the mainland, and the life of Shen Mo and his wife has entered a stable period, Xiao Yi feels that his hidden narrow-mindedness has a tendency to develop and grow. He usually adheres to the principle of "not encouraging and sulking" when dealing with Shen Mo and Lin Yiqi's family. .Every time he meets Luo Xizi, he will hurt the enemy by a thousand and himself by [-] to fight against Shen Mo.Zhang Fenghui is destined not to have a grandson in this life. It is understandable to want to recognize a grandson or granddaughter. As a junior, it is not easy to talk about it. Xiao Yi can only spread this resentment on the seemingly innocent Shen Mo who is actually the source of the disaster.

Shen Mo understood in his heart, and recalled the past with some guilt, so he changed the subject forcefully: "By the way, how long can you rest this time? Let's go to their house with Ren Hong for two days after eating the full moon wine, just to kill them. Ren Hong Yesterday he called me and told me that his father had offered Ren Jibin a drink to his wife at the banquet, but Ren Jibin was not happy, so Ren Hong immediately stood up and offered a drink to Ren Jibin's mother. Haha I'm kidding."

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Shen Mo's silly face, snorted and ignored him, but felt in his heart that Ren Hong's relationship was not easy.Stepbrothers were together, and rumors were double ugly, so the family almost beat the mandarin ducks to death.Ren Hong locked Ren Jibin in Xiao's house, and went back alone all night, punishing himself and begging for fulfillment, beating, crying and hunger strike.Ren Jibin hadn't raised his arm for two days, so he pried open the door without hesitation and ran home to take responsibility with Ren Hong.

No matter how conservative the parents are, there are only a small number of people who are willing to force their children to death for the sake of secular speech.Under the resolute double offensive of Ren Hong and Ren Jibin, seeing the quickly haggard faces of the two children, and the fact that Ren Jibin, who was originally weak, was injured, the two elders were also soft-hearted, so they simply kicked Ren Hong and the others out. When he never raised two bastards, he even cut off the relationship with the restaurant and recruited another manager, which completely severed Ren Hong's connection with the old Ren's family.

The days of Ren Hong and Ren Jibin were indeed difficult. Ren Jibin resigned from school and changed a few jobs. He did not work for a long time. Ren Hong left the small restaurant at home and worked as a back chef in a hotel. A winking helper.Economic pressure is second, and the mental pressure brought about by parents' closed doors is even more difficult.

Finally, two years ago, Ren Jibin's mother softened first, and restored contact with Ren Jibin.Although Father Ren said he was breaking off the relationship, he was actually learning about his son's situation intermittently. After watching it all the way, he found in despair that there was absolutely no possibility of the two of them breaking up and going on the right path. willingly compromised.

Father Ren found an auspicious day when he would go downhill, called the two of them home, and put forward conditions for them, one is to let Ren Hong return to the hotel.The second is to let them find a surrogate.Who would have thought that Ren Hong would kneel in front of his father without saying a word, and said righteously that if the second elder likes children, then it is absolutely no problem to adopt or adopt one under his knees. In the future, the second elder will not be able to take care of him, and he and Ren Jibin will take over Come here and be responsible to the end, and definitely treat her like a brother or sister.But if you want them to be a surrogate or adopt a child, it is impossible.Apart from his parents, he and Ren Jibin are each other's only relatives, and there is no place for others to stay.

These words cut off all the signs of détente that were about to emerge, and the two sides fell into a stalemate again, and the stalemate lasted for another two years.Fighting between relatives, most of the fight is about who is more determined than cruel, and the parents are always the one who loses.No, Ren Hong and Ren Jibin also ushered in the day of toasting their daughter-in-law tea.Father Ren and his wife didn't go to adopt the child in the end. They thought in their hearts that they were already so old, and bringing them back would eventually increase the burden on Ren Hong and the others.Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Over the years, seeing the two brothers supporting each other and caring for each other, they also thought about it, as long as they have someone to take care of them.

After Ren Hong worked outside for four years, he returned to his restaurant to continue working as a small boss. With the experience of working hard outside, he can run a small shop with ease.Ren Jibin joined a well-known educational institution through a classmate. He usually engages in extra-curricular training and online teaching, and his income is much higher than when he was in school. He also has more freedom in his private life, which is a blessing in disguise.

Xiao Yi was thinking about these things while driving, and Shen Mo knew from looking at the expressions of the people next to him that he had dug a hole for himself when he mentioned Ren Hong, and he was not happy anymore. Why do you always compare me with others? I am weak I admit it doesn't work.Seizing an opportunity at a red light, he got up and pulled Xiao Yi, bit him on the lip, and said viciously: "Don't think I don't know you're turning over old scores in your heart, you can kill or cut whatever you want, don't give me less pouted."

Xiao Yi bit back in retaliation: "It's good to know, you have too many old debts, and you will get angry when you think about it, so you can do it yourself at night."

"Move you, uncle." Shen Mo felt that the Beijing swearing he learned in Beijing was particularly ingenious, and adding verbs before the uncle who often appeared on the stage could express all kinds of emotions.He patted Xiao Yi's face: "Is there anything else on your mind? I'm hungry." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yi's expression, and quickly added: "I won't eat you if I'm hungry. I want to eat hot pot, let's go Is it good to eat Chaoshan beef pot, eat hot pot, eat hot pot."

Xiao Yi sneered for a long time, but still turned the steering wheel.

After the two sat down at the table, Shen Mo picked up the menu, hanging dragon heart, spoon skin, yellow throat, beef balls, fried bean curd skin, green bamboo shoots, grilled squid, lettuce wraps, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes... various colors Dishes are lined up on the table.While helping Shen Mo wash the dishes, Xiao Yi complained: "I order so much, if you can't finish eating, you will live here."

Shen Mo feels that Xiao Yi has become more and more verbose since Zheng Zhengjing lived a happy life with Xiao Yi, and the former flower of Gaoling is gone and never returns to the road of the neighbor's uncle.He responded: "I'm hungry, why don't I take it out if I can't eat?" He picked up his mobile phone and clicked and took pictures of the hot pot from all angles. After editing and polishing, he sent all of them to Xu Tian.

Seeing the smile on Shen Mo's mouth, Xiao Yi knew that he was holding back something, and tapped the side of the pot lightly with his chopsticks: "It's provoking people again, no wonder Xu Tian hates you when he sees you."

After a while, WeChat notifications sounded one after another, each segment was tens of seconds long, and the rich vocabulary fully demonstrated the anger of a hot pot lover who was ordered to clear his mouth because of a cold.Shen Mo replied, "We've arrived in Shanghai." Then he threw away his arms and ate contentedly.

Xiao Yi asked, "Xu Tian and the others are still in the store?" Shen Mo shook his head: "No, he went to pick up his son from school." Just as he was talking, WeChat rang again, and when he opened it, there were piles of messages from Xu Tian's house. In the photo of the little boy, the six-year-old boy has delicate features, big eyes, and a fair little face that makes me want to pinch him.Shen Mo deeply hated Xu Tian's behavior of using his baby to provoke others when he had nothing to do, and immediately replied with a self-made cat and dog emoticon pack, hehe, there is one in your family and three in my family, who is afraid of who in the photos?Xiao Yi looked at Shen Mo with an excited expression on his face, quite helpless for the childish behavior of these two people.

Shen Mo raised his head and discussed with Xiao Yi while posting: "You said that Lao Xu broke up with his ex-boyfriend because of the child. Those years were like going to become a monk. I thought he would have to be single for the rest of his life, but he actually found someone to take care of the child." Yes, it’s a pity that I don’t like children. I don’t think it’s too happy to raise a son now. You don’t even want the store. You say it’s his family Wei Wenxu’s charm, or is it true love with his ex-boyfriend? I think the latter more likely."

Xiao Yi added half of the wide fans to the pot, and said unhurriedly: "Not necessarily, I think the reason may also be the so-called preconceived ideas and the spirit of contract." Seeing Shen Mo's slightly puzzled eyes, he turned pale with disgust. He glanced at him: "Forget it, you can't understand it, you are a fool."

"What's wrong with me being stupid? I think Lao Xu and the others love to tease me more, which means I'm more attractive." Xiao Yi looked at Shen Mo with an expression of "you are really stupid": "That's natural, because I'm smart. Everyone likes stupid people like you, like me." Shen Mo shook his head, shameless, too shameless, but the words just now can be regarded as Xiao Yi indirectly saying that he likes, Shen Mo didn't know if he followed his heart first. Still pretending to be angry for a while.He cleared his cough and picked up a piece of yellow throat that had been washed out: "Well, but Wen Yan seems to be closer to you."

"I'm jealous."

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

"Tsk, uncivilized. That's because Wen Yan is as stupid as you."

Mentioning Wen Yan, Shen Mo's heart sank a little: "Wen Yan is quite stupid, his family is really...I'm still a little worried about him."

Xiao Yi smiled and comforted Shen Mo: "The two of them have too much entanglement, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene in judgment, but I am quite optimistic."

"I just didn't say anything because I was afraid that he would be wronged."

"It's just that you don't know how to judge people. I think it's okay for Wen Yan to make people suffer. Besides, if something really happens, Xu Tian won't just sit idly by."

Shen Mo thinks about it too. Four years ago, Xiao Yi was transferred back to Shanghai. Shen Mo didn't want to be separated from the two places. He quit his job as a flower shop and Xiao Yi settled down in Shanghai. I started a translation company and gradually turned my part-time job into a full-time job.Last year, Xiao Yi’s old leader at the headquarters retired from the second line due to factional struggles. Xiao Yi was tired of the workplace struggles in state-owned enterprises, so he resigned altogether, and joined forces with two friends who had known each other for more than ten years to start a limestone sales company to start a business .In the first year, I lived a life of turning five plus two white and black day and night. Fortunately, the three people had a clear division of labor, each performed their duties, and trusted each other.This year, the company is finally on the right track, and the sales channels are stable. Shen Mo finally let go of his support for Xiao Yi.

After Shen Mo left Sanyuan Flower Shop, he still kept in frequent contact with Xu Tian and Wen Yan, and they scrambled between the two cities for food from time to time.Xu Tian didn't recruit new people, and he and Wen Yan guarded the shop.For a few years, Xu Tian and his child's father Wei Wenxu became attached to each other because of fighting, and then happily got off the singles and had their eldest son who fell from the sky.Wen Yan's previously tight-lipped ex had also gone round and round and reunited to become present.The relationship between Xu Tian and Wen Yan is not alienated because they belonged to each other, but deepened because they lived together day and night in the flower shop, and their homes are not far away.Xu Tian now treats Wen Yan as if he was his own younger brother, caring as much as half a son.Therefore, with Xu Tian's "mother's family" by his side, Wen Yan must not suffer too much.

Shen Mo didn't finish the dishes he ordered. He carried a pile of take-out boxes in a desperate manner, and sat in the car with his round belly.People get sleepy after eating too much. The half-slumped Shen Mo looked at the street scene, and asked Xiao Yi softly: "Do you think my mother is sexually despised, and she didn't go to Canada with us during the Chinese New Year, saying that Dr. Jiang had a medical visit? Open, we can't leave him alone for the New Year."

Xiao Yi fondled Shen Mo's soft hair: "Isn't it good that Mom has company? How happy I look now."

"Okay, good..."

The car slowly drove into the community, Xiao Yi stopped the car, turned his head to see that Shen Mo was leaning on the seat, with his head tilted to his side, and fell asleep.Xiao Yi gently unbuckled Shen Mo's seat belt, but he was not willing to wake him up, turned off the engine, opened the car window a crack, leaned over, supported Shen Mo's head on his shoulders, and closed his eyes.

The night came in through the crack of the window, blended into this peaceful world, and gently enveloped the two people who were cuddling each other.

The author has something to say: It's finally over. This is my first novel. The duration is shorter than expected, and the persistence is longer than expected.I didn't save the manuscript for this novel, and I wrote it as I posted it.The abilities needed to tell a wonderful story: creativity, imagination, writing skills, logic, knowledge, talent...I don’t have any of them, and I can complete this rotten and tasteless book without many readers. The novel relies entirely on the obsession with the end.

In my eyes as a firm pursuer of he, if a text is cheated, it is another kind of be for the characters in the article, and life is not easy. I hope that they in the parallel world will finally be fulfilled.

It can be seen from this that what is the driving force for everything to persist?Do you love it? Nonono, OCD is.

Thanks again to those of you who read, and even finished, this terrible novel of mine.I wish you all a happy life, and I wish lovers will eventually get married and walk in the sun hand in hand.

Finally, I would like to dedicate this article to my cat glutinous rice balls, baby, I will always miss you.
