he summer winter

After lying in the hospital for a few days, when I got home, I deeply felt that I still slept comfortably at home.

The next day, Xia Yue went to work as usual, and Chi Lidong, who hadn't slept in a few times throughout the year, slept until noon.

After getting up, I filled my stomach and felt that I was in good condition, so I went home to see my mother.

He still can’t drive by himself now, so he called an online car-hailing car and got off at the door of his house. Mrs. Chi just woke up from a nap, holding the cat in the yard to bask in the sun, and asked him: “Why did you buy a new car again? Let the driver come and take a ride at home.” , have a sip of tea."

Chi Lidong beckoned the driver to leave, and then said to his mother, "I came by taxi. I can't drive. I had an operation."

He briefly explained the cause and effect. In order to alleviate Mrs. Chi's worries, he used the most understated way of describing it.

Mrs. Chi was still in a hurry, she pulled him in to see his incision, and blamed him: "I just said something is wrong! Except for business trips, you haven't been home for such a long time. Your wings are hard now, right? This is an operation Ah, what was cut was the meat that fell from my body, I don’t even have the right to know?!”

What else could Chi Lidong say, he could only listen obediently, and said: "It's really okay, I'm just afraid that you will be worried after hearing this. You can see how well I am recovering now."

Mrs. Chi had complained enough, she still felt distressed, and asked him carefully what the doctor said, and whether the incision hurts now?Finally said: "No wonder Xiao Xia came by himself that day and said that you were too busy to come to see me. He just came to talk to me when he was free. You called, but he didn't let me tell you that he was here, so I just Thinking that he is really sensible and loves his elders, and he is not trying to be good in front of you. Such a good and decent daughter-in-law is hard to find. I am also lucky. I never thought that he came to cover for you. You two It’s true, next time I see Xiao Xia again, I’ll also say a few words to him, I can’t just listen to you.”

Chi Lidong thought to himself, Mom, should I say that you really don't understand your son, or should I say that you don't understand Xia Yue.

After talking with his mother for a while, he went upstairs to his room, opened the safe, took out the tin box, sat by the bed, put the box on his lap, and opened it to look at the contents.

He sighed straight away.

In fact, he doesn't have the same feeling for Wang Qi as before, and the meaning of this box to him is quite different from before. What's inside is no longer his secret love of more than ten years, but a memory of his youth.

Other things are fine, just this photo, which is really out of print, and film cameras were still used at that time, only this one was developed, and the bottom plate has long been lost.

"What are you doing?" Madam Chi came in from the outside.

Chi Lidong hurriedly closed the box and said, "Pack up something."

When Madam Chi saw the box, she frowned and said, "It's been tattered for so many years, why do you still keep it?"

Chi Lidong said: "Just throw it away."

Madam Chi sat down beside him, and wanted to take the box from his hand, but he grabbed it tightly and said, "Mom."

Madam Chi let go and said, "What are you hiding now? I saw it the other day."

Chi Lidong: "..."

Mrs. Chi said: "Dongdong, are you and Wang Qi... getting along?"

Chi Lidong was shocked and said, "No! Mom, what are you thinking?"

Madam Chi also looked embarrassed, and said: "It's fine if you don't have one, Xiao Xia is fine."

Chi Lidong warned: "Wang Qi and I are really very pure friends. Don't talk nonsense with Wang Qi's mother. I know that you two talk about everything every time we meet."

Mrs. Chi said: "Don't talk, don't talk, okay?"

Chi Lidong: "..."

He skipped this matter and said: "Xia Yue's parents are going back to Beijing for the New Year this year, next week he will go to New Zealand to pick them up, as well as his sister's son, this child should be adopted to him, call him Dad."

Mrs. Chi was taken aback for a moment when she heard about sister Xia Yue, and said pleasantly, "Then is this child your two's child?"

Chi Lidong was a little awkward, and said, "Forget it? I don't know either."

Madam Chi patted him and said happily, "Of course forget it. Since he is called Xia Yue's father, he must also be called your father. Then am I not a grandma?"

Chi Lidong: "..."

The old lady was overjoyed, and asked again: "Where are the photos? Are there any photos of my grandson?"

Chi Lidong said: "No save, Xia Yue showed it to me yesterday, it's pretty good-looking, looks a bit like Xia Yue."

"That must be very cute," Mrs. Chi reprimanded, "How can you be someone's father? You don't even know how to save a picture?"

Chi Lidong scratched his head in embarrassment, he couldn't understand the mother's enthusiasm for the child, he never thought of becoming a father before yesterday, when Xia Yue showed him the photo, he was full of strangeness, not only for this The child who has never met before also feels unreal about having a "son" suddenly.

But he doesn't hate children, maybe it would be nice to see them, but now he just hasn't seen them, it's just an instinctive resistance to unknown things.

He threw the box in the trash, then changed the combination on the safe.

Before he went home, Mrs. Chi found two bottles of vitamin chewable tablets brought back by a friend who went abroad for fun.

It is said to be a famous brand, which is very helpful for improving immunity. She has too many health products, and she can't remember to take them. It is just for Chi Lidong who needs to improve immunity after surgery, so as not to waste.

When Xia Yue came back in the evening, Chi Lidong wanted to go to Li Tang's theater to watch a movie, but Xia Yue thought that the movie theater had a lot of bacteria, so it was best not to go to the current situation of Chi Lidong.

In the end, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa and watched a half-new "Snowpiercer" with a home projector. The South Korean director, the hero is Chris Evans who played the role of Captain America.

Halfway through, Chi Lidong remembered the chewable tablets his mother asked him to bring back, took them, gave Xia Yue two, and threw two more into his mouth.

Orange flavor, sweet and sour taste, smell too, not too special, but a pleasant taste.

When Xia Yue turned his face, he lowered his head and kissed him softly.

A few days later, Xia Yue set off for New Zealand.

Chi Lidong also went back to the company to do some chores for the end of the year. He couldn't do the heavy ones, so he only picked some light ones to do, but it was not easy for him to use his brain.

And when he came home after work, he was empty, and he was alone, very depressed.

After barely doing this for two days, he went back to Mrs. Chi's place on the third day and lived with his mother.

A few more days later, six days before the Spring Festival, Xia Yue came back.

Chi Lidong was already able to move around freely and had no problem driving, so he went to the Capital International Airport to pick him up more than an hour earlier.

During the waiting time, he was so nervous that he kept walking back and forth.

He was a little afraid to meet Professor Xia. Back then, he was very afraid of dealing with this professor who was famous for his poisonous tongue. At that time, it was because he was not good at studying and he was stupid. Now he is still not good at studying, and he is still stupid. In addition, he was kidnapped. The accusations of his son, and the deeds of a scumbag more than ten years ago, all add up. It is impossible for Professor Xia to have a good impression of him. I just hope that I can see Xia Yue's face and don't scold him for being too ugly. Enough.In my impression, the teacher's wife seems to be very gentle.That child doesn't know whether naughty is naughty or not.

Chi Lidong is tall, muscular, and not a mild-looking person, and he has never been liked by children who meet him for the first time.Leaving aside, let’s just say that when Xia Yue was still in Shanghai a few months ago, he once went to Shanghai to see Xia Yue. He bought the ticket late and had to buy an economy class ticket. When boarding the plane, he met a four or five-year-old boy. On the gangway, she kept crying and screaming, which made the young mother very tired.After boarding the plane, the little boy was still crying and fussing, and he didn't listen to any coaxing, until Chi Lidong sat in the seat next to him, the crying stopped abruptly, and he didn't dare to vent his breath all the way.

Finally, the flight that Xia's family took landed.

Chi Lidong waited nervously outside.

Soon I saw Xia Yue holding the child. Because of the long flight, he was wearing gray casual clothes that looked very comfortable, a black baseball cap, and a pair of yeezy feet. The child in his arms was lying on his back. On the shoulder, talking to Xia Yue's mother who was following behind.

Professor Xia was the last one to come out. He didn't change much, and he didn't age obviously. He was pushing a full luggage cart.

Chi Lidong raised his hand and called out, "Xia Yue."

Xia Yue smiled at him, and the child also turned his face.

Chi Lidong hastily put on a flattering smile.

The kid looked more like Xia Yue than in the photo, the two of them came out of the same mold, a big Xia Yue and a small Xia Yue.

The four members of the Xia family walked around the long fence and finally came out.

Chi Lidong took the luggage cart from Professor Xia and greeted him stiffly: "Hello, Professor."

Professor Xia looked at him up and down, and said kindly, "You haven't changed much."

Chi Lidong could only laugh, and greeted his teacher's wife again.

It was only when he faced Xia Yue at the end that he naturally missed him very much. There was no way to explain this situation, and he still had a smirk on his face.

Xia Yue also laughed, and said, "I've said hello to you, why don't you ask me?"

Chi Lidong was very obedient: "Hello."

The child in Xia Yue's arms looked at him timidly.

He also looked at the child.

Xia Yue said gently: "Dad taught you just now, what do you call him?"

The child shyly put his little face against Xia Yue's, and called softly, "Mommy."

Chi Lidong: "???"
