Qi spirit

Chapter 2: Undercurrent

Yan Yuqi hurriedly ran from the house to the door, his hair was still wet.

"Brother, you... you're really here! It's really... great." He looked straight at Han Yuling, with a sincere smile on his face.

Han Yuling's face was expressionless, with an iceberg face.But his jaw was painfully clenched.

He didn't want Yan Yuqi to call him 'brother', but he knew that he was contradictory to think so, because he sent him to someone to call him.

If you just want to come as the boss, there is no need to step into the Yan family.

"Brother, come in and sit down, lunch is ready." Yan Yuqi turned sideways and invited Han Yuling into the room in a very polite way.

Han Yuling's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he felt less pressured by the polite form.

The house is a bit hot, but the air is still circulating. The two fans in the living room and dining room are spinning hard and fast, and there is a cooling fan on one wall, which looks very new.Han Yuling glanced around, and there were many things missing than he remembered, such as old cabinets and second-hand TVs, but there were still obvious traces of these large household appliances on the walls, which seemed to have been cleaned only recently.

The dining table in the dining room is still the big round table that can sit around many people.Han Yuling likes this table. During the Chinese New Year, the family sits around and eats very lively. The adults bring food to the grandparents, and the grandparents bring food to the children, and they also ask the children to finish eating.

Han Yuling couldn't wait to lick the plate.When he went to the grandfather's house for dinner, he didn't have anyone to bring food.The adults and children there sat around the long square table according to their seniority, except for Yan Yuqi, who was delicate and fleshy, and sat next to his grandfather to give him the utmost care.Han Yuling was a young person, so he sat at the end, and had to use an extra empty chair, because the adults said that he and his grandmother were at odds.The dishes placed in the center of the dining table can be seen, cannot be caught, and dare not ask for them. The safest way is to bury your head and slowly eat the white rice in the bowl for as long as you can.

From a very young age, Han Yuling was used to lowering his sense of presence in the presence of adults. He didn't play, make noise, or talk, but he kept his alert sensitivity at all times. He stared and immediately apologized.

Over time, the attitude towards grandparents is also the same.

——Good grandson, why don't you just smile?Grandpa's house is too hot, aren't you used to it?Then grandpa will cut the watermelon for you. The watermelon has been frozen and is very cold!

——My little handsome guy, grandma knitted a hat for you. Grandma can't buy beautiful clothes here, so I have to weave it myself. Don't you like it?So what do you like?Tell grandma, don't be so unhappy.

Grandparents are good, they were unpredictable when they were young, they didn't understand that it was the so-called favor, they only knew that they had to be polite and cautious when facing adults.

When I grow up, my grandparents also gradually reduce their active care. At that time, I feel that it is because my younger brother is more worthy of love than myself, and the adults do not love me because I am not good enough.

Until I became sensible, I knew that the kind eyes of my grandparents looking at me were always the same, but the excessive etiquette in the past had caused an irreparable alienation.

Now that my grandparents are gone, thinking back carefully, the number of times I have seen the two elders is actually less than my own age.

Han Yuling turned a blind eye to the delicacies on the table, and went straight to the bedroom of his grandparents inside.

The two elders passed away several months apart in the same year five years ago. There is no previous furniture in the bedroom. There is a sacred cabinet against the wall, where the ashes and memorial tablets of grandparents are placed.There is also a chair and coffee table in the room, tied with red flowers and red cloth for simple decoration, it seems that a couple of newlyweds saluted their elders here not long ago.

Han Yuling approached the cabinet to get incense, Yan Yuqi rushed to his side, took the incense in his hand and lit it for him.

Han Yuling thanked him vaguely, walked to the front of the memorial tablet and knelt down.

"Brother! Get up first, I'll take the mat..."

"No need." Han Yuling closed his eyes, raised his incense stick, straightened his knees, and said softly but seriously, "Go out, close the door, and don't disturb me."

Didn't hear the door close immediately, Yan Yuqi helplessly called 'Brother', Yan Yunhe said outside the room that he would come in to persuade him, Lu Shaozong calmly said that it was okay, he needed to be quiet.

Han Yuling sighed secretly, the godfather beside him knew him best.Whether it's Han Feng, Luka, Lu Shaozong or Xia Mu, he believes that these four people will be able to control themselves at this time and will not obstruct them.Of course, how can it be considered an afterthought, but Han Yuling can no longer miss getting along with his grandparents because of any scruples.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm Yuling, I'm back." Opening his eyes, tears were dim, Han Yuling let two lines of tears fall, his voice trembling: "I'm sorry... I'm late..."

Luca once said that no one is invincible, and everyone has weaknesses, which is not wrong. Only by admitting cowardice can we find a way to overcome it.

"Yuling, don't seal up your emotions. There are people who love you by your side. Don't hesitate to cry or laugh, but remember, wipe away your tears. You have to keep going. You have a long way to go, and there are still people who love you." exist."

Thinking of his godfather's persuasiveness, he felt as if his godfather was by his side.

Han Yuling wiped his tears with his sleeves, looked up at the tablets of his grandparents, the corners of his mouth slowly moved to the side, a little stiff at first, and slowly regained the ease of smiling.He got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner, then knelt back and returned to the original place, cleared his throat with a swallow of saliva, collected his thoughts for a while, and then began to talk, briefly reporting his career and life to the old man.He talked about his son Yufeng the most and in the most detail. He knew that old people like to hear about children.

Unaware of how much time passed, he swallowed when his mouth became dry.As a father, he couldn't help talking about his son.

"Yuling." Lu Shaozong called out after knocking on the door, "Come out for dinner."

"Oh." Han Yuling lowered his head in thought after responding, then raised his head after a while, and said with emotion: "Today is Xiaoqi's big day, he is your first grandson to marry, you must be very happy." Yan Yusheng has not married a wife yet, he admits that he is unmarried and hates children.When coming here along the way, Yan Yusheng mentioned that although his grandfather had many brothers and sisters, the two of them and Yan Yuqi were the only three male heirs of the Yan family's generation. Han Yuling wanted to emphasize that he was not from the Yan family, but was caught by The godfather stopped him with gentle eyes.

"Yuling." Lu Shaozong knocked on the door again.

Han Yuling frowned, unable to hide his impatience: "Brother Zong, eat first, don't wait for me."

"Do you still want what your grandfather left you?" Lu Shaozong replied calmly.

Han Yuling was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately stood up, enduring the familiar sharp pain in his knees, and limped to open the door. Once the door opened, he asked anxiously, "Where is the thing?"

Lu Shaozong looked at the baby from head to toe, and was about to speak, when Yan Yunhe, who was standing behind, said eagerly: "It's in the room, just that wooden box, because it's too complicated, I don't know what to do. It's time to send it, then..."

Before Yan Yunhe finished speaking, Han Yuling quickly closed the door and locked it again. It was obvious that Lu Shaozong wanted to lure him out just now, but it was a pity that Yan Yunhe ruined the plan.

Han Yuling quickly recognized the only wooden box among the few items in the room, and it was even wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, presumably to avoid moisture or termite erosion.

The length and width of the wooden box are about one and a half meters, and the height is only □□ inches. It is not big, but it is very heavy, and the workmanship is very exquisite. There are carvings on five sides and decorations on the four corners. It is exactly like the treasure box in the treasure hunting movie. It's no wonder that Yan Yunhyuk didn't send it out, because it was very difficult to ensure that the box was delivered intact.

The box was locked, and Han Yuling couldn't help feeling distressed. If he went out to ask for the key, his godfather would definitely not allow him to come in again.All things eat big, this is the central thought of every godfather to discipline him.

Han Yuling couldn't help muttering in his heart: He'll eat when he's hungry, how could he starve himself to death?Can't you follow me when I don't want to eat?

"Brother! The box is locked, here is the key!" Hearing Yan Yuqi's voice approaching the door from far to near, Han Yuling rushed to open the door, so as not to let his godfather get in first, but the key slipped from under the door to his feet.

Han Yuling could imagine how helpless his godfather was to the rough nerves of Yan's father and son.

Han Yuling himself was not surprised.The habits accumulated from living with these two fathers and sons since he was a child made him think that the behavior of the two fathers and sons was nothing more than natural.

If the time is long enough for the younger brother to notice, the younger brother will sneak in a small package of snacks through the crack of the door, and Yan Yunhyuk will rarely ask how long the punished person has been locked up, and will only stay in the Someone outside said good things to the punisher without saying a word.In short, they don't try to get in the door.
