Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Fanfan took the earliest flight to S City to visit his elderly grandma and aunt's family as usual.The episode of New Year’s Eve seemed to be deliberately forgotten by everyone present, and no one mentioned it again. Mo Fanfan, who flew to S City, was sitting on the international flight preparing to take off, half-closed his eyes, looking out the window into the distance. White clouds everywhere.

"Hehehehe..." There was a baby giggling from the seat next to him. Mo Fanfan looked back and saw a blond foreign woman with a child sitting beside him.

The child looked to be just over two years old, and because of her short hair, Mo Fanfan could only tell that it was a little girl from the pink Minnie headband on her head.This child was born with skin as white as snow. Although her mother was blond-haired and blue-eyed, she had black hair and black eyes, but her outline was darker than that of ordinary children. It was very likely that she was a mixed-race baby.The little girl was not afraid of people at all. She stared at Mo Fanfan curiously with her big black and white eyes. She seemed to be interested in the pompom on the hat of his down jacket. The little girl stretched out her chubby hands, trying to grab his clothes. A dark green fur ball.

"Rachel, no." The little girl's mother noticed her daughter's small movements, and while gently pressing her chubby little hand, she looked at Mo Fanfan apologetically.

"Sorry, she is always full of curiosity."

"That's fine."

Mo Fanfan looked at the little girl and smiled at her. Seeing Mo Fanfan's smiling face, the little girl immediately grinned and gave him the biggest smile back.

This little chubby girl is really cute, Mo Pingfan thought to himself, and couldn't help but think of Qi Beibei from Qi Yunze's family.The little girl who recognized him as his father the first time he met was also a lovely child, but except for the first meeting and Li Wei's wedding, he never hugged that little girl properly.But then again, what right does he have to hug Qi Beibei?If Matsumoto wanted to hug himself more than 20 years ago, he would have chosen to run away from home at that time.

The two-hour flight was extremely smooth. After getting off the plane, Mo Fanfan took a taxi and went straight to his grandma's house in S City.More than ten years have passed, and grandma still lives in the old house. My aunt once persuaded the old lady to live with them, but the stubborn old man just sticks to this old house. Not her anymore.

The old lady's body is not bad, but in the past few years after the old man left, her brain has become more and more difficult. Mo Fanfan sat beside her and held her hand: "Grandma, do you still remember me?"

The old lady looked at him suspiciously, and after a long time of identification, she couldn't recognize him: "Who are you?"

"Grandma, I am ordinary."

"Ordinary? Are you my grandson?" The old lady still had a puzzled look on her face, but then bowed her hands after she finished speaking: "You are not my grandson, my grandson is in school, he is only in his teens, how could you be my grandson. "After that, the old lady turned her face away and stopped looking at him.

"Mom, he is ordinary, he has grown up." The auntie peeled an orange and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took the orange, chewed it twice in her slack mouth, then looked back at Mo Fanfan: "Who are you?"

"..."

"She has become more and more unclear recently. She was taken to the hospital, and she only said that it was dementia. She was prescribed some medicine, but it didn't get better after taking it."

"Hey..." Mo Pingfan sighed, old age memory deterioration, this disease is almost impossible to cure, and the existing medicines can only delay the onset of symptoms.

"She still recognizes me, but sometimes she calls me by your mother's name by mistake."

"Auntie, grandma still doesn't want to live with you?"

"Hey, don't look at her being a little confused. She shook her head when she mentioned moving, saying that she would wait for the old man and your mother to come home. I hired a full-time nanny at home. She was nice and honest. During the day, I almost At this."

"Auntie, it's been hard work for you to take care of grandma these years."

"You silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Your mother left early, and it's only natural for me to take care of my grandma. It's just that you've been running around in Japan and across the country these years. Don't you want to find a place to settle down?" Auntie Holding Mo Fanfan's hand, looking at him, her sister left early, she has already regarded this child as her half son, and now Bai Ning, who is several years younger than him, is married and has a family, but Mo Fanfan has not even had a son for so many years. The girls have never been brought home.She was indeed a little anxious.

"Auntie, there is no suitable one yet..." Mo Fanfan dodged, not daring to look her in the eye.

"You're not too young, kid. You just need to find someone with a good personality and a good personality to live a good life. You've been in Z University for so long, isn't there a suitable female teacher there?"

"Mom, don't worry about my brother. Boys with good conditions are getting married late now. Why are you so anxious? The emperor is really not in a hurry to die..." Bai Ning quickly stopped talking when she saw her mother's face turning into a tiger.

"Okay, don't disturb me, you and Xiaoyue have been married for so long, are you planning to have a child?"

"Hey, Mom, why are you pointing your gun at me again? I'm adding a grandson to you now, not to cause trouble for you, just take good care of grandma. As for the children, let nature take its course, don't worry "As Bai Ning said, she winked at Mo Fanfan: "Brother, let's go out for a stroll, you haven't come back for a long time, go shopping with me." Said Bai Ning and dragged Mo Fanfan out.

"Bai Ning, don't take your brother for a stroll, come back before dinner."

"Got it!" The mother's exhortation was covered by the sound of Bai Ning closing the door long ago, and Mo Pingfan was pulled out of the grandma's house. The two brothers and sisters didn't go very far, but just walked around in the nearby small park. .

"Brother, don't listen to my mother. What's so good about being married? After I got married to Xiaoyue, I lived the same life every day. I was so bored. I regretted getting married so early."

"You, you don't know your happiness when you are in the blessing." Mo Fanfan and Bai Ning sat side by side on the small swing in the small park, just like when they were children, chatting and looking at the sky.

"Actually Xiaoyue is pretty good, but he's too busy. You've seen him on duty for a year." Bai Ning said helplessly, puffing up her cheeks.

"As a doctor, he is already much busier than other people. You, please be considerate of him." Bai Ning's newlywed husband is Yue Xuan, a doctor in the brain surgery department of S City People's Hospital, and Bai Ning has been together since high school. first love.

"Brother, after I got married to Xiaoyue, I don't know why, I always feel that my relationship has faded, and I don't have the feeling of wanting to be together every day like before."

"Now you are sticking together every day, of course you don't want to stick together every day."

"That's not what it means, brother, it's just that there is no... passion. Could it be that we have been together since high school, more than ten years, and now we are bored?"

"What are you thinking, you silly girl?" Mo Fanfan nodded Bai Ning's forehead.

"Brother, did you ever fall in love when you were in school? I remember that someone called your grandma's house to look for you during the winter vacation. At that time, you chatted for a long time. That was your girlfriend in high school, right?" Bai He looked at Mo Pingfan with a smirk, as if he understood clearly.

"...You still remember what happened at that time. How old were you at that time, probably in your early teens."

"That must be, the way you received the call at that time was so boring, the one with the smile on your face, huh..." Bai Ning curled her lips, unable to bear it.

"Okay, at that time I was having an affair with a classmate, but it wasn't a serious relationship." Mo Fanfan looked up at the sky, recalling the past, the aftertaste of youth was still so beautiful.

"And then? Are you not together?"

"No, after I came back to City S, the information was cut off. That era was not as good as it is now, and the Internet is so developed, not to mention that I went to Japan later, and I have no contact."

"Then what kind of person is she?"

"He, when he was young, was stupid and stupid. He only knew that he was tall but didn't know that he had a brain. Although he looked serious and scary, he actually lacked a string in his head, so he was very bullying."

"Brother, how did you know how to bully girls when you were young?"

Mo Fanfan smiled: "It's not that he bullied me first at that time."

"So, where is this sister now? Is she married?"

"..." Mo Fanfan was stunned for a long time: "It should be married, you know, if a domestic girl reaches my age, if she is not married, she really belongs to the level of a golden saint."

"What, bro, what you're talking about is typical sexism. What's wrong with girls not getting married at this age? We also have to find ourselves, find our ideals, find our life, and we have to wait on the table every day. you……"

Bai Ning was still rambling on and on, Mo Pingfan smiled and patted her head: "Stop rambling, accompany me to see my mother."

Bai Ning immediately fell silent, and obediently followed Mo Fanfan into a taxi.
