Can you bend it?forget it

new year's eve a year later

The street outside was deserted, the silent snow was falling slowly, and the street lamps reflected the cold tree shadows, flickering on and off.

People gather in the warm room to watch TV and eat dumplings, the table is full of sweets and snacks, white smoke is rising from the kitchen pot, and the smell of meat is overflowing...

As the New Year’s Eve Gala kicked off on TV, the outside world suddenly became lively. Fireworks and firecrackers lit up the sky one after another and shook the earth. The gorgeous and bright light against the dimly lit windows of the Zhan’s house looked extraordinarily cold cold.

A plate of cold dumplings was placed on the table, and Zhan Mingsheng stood in front of the window smoking a cigarette alone, looking at the white snow downstairs, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhuang Xinlei was lying on the bed in the bedroom. Her blood pressure was not stable recently, and she also had some heart problems. She had been lying in bed for more than a week, and she didn't even get up to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. caught.

This is the second New Year's Eve that the two of them spent alone. Since Zhan Xinchen left, the family has become more and more deserted. The two of them have gone from being noisy at the beginning to being indifferent. more heavy.

Zhan Mingsheng put on his coat and went downstairs, came to the yard, picked up a broom and began to sweep the snow. The snow was still falling, and soon it fell all over his head and shoulders, and his temples were stained white, making him look much older .

Suddenly there was crying and cursing and the sound of pots and bowls falling to the ground on the first floor, which was extremely ear-piercing on this warm and festive night.

Zhan Mingsheng stopped his broom and looked at the brightly lit window, it was Fan's house.

Not long after, a tall man came out pushing a wheelchair, he covered the young man in the wheelchair with a thin blanket, put an umbrella over his head, and whispered softly in his ear: "Let's go home. ’ and straightened up and pushed him into the snow.

When passing Zhan Mingsheng, the man stopped for a moment, and greeted him politely: "Hello, Uncle Zhan, are you clearing snow?"

"Well," Zhan Mingsheng looked at Yuyang in front of him: "To see your father?"

"Well, I heard that he just got out of prison, and I wanted to come back to have a look, but..." Yu Yang chuckled: "It's okay, I'm relieved to see that he's still in such good spirits."

Zhan Mingsheng looked down at Ji Ran who was in the wheelchair: "How is Ji Ran?"

"I'm recovering well. I just woke up last year. Uncle Zhan, it's still snowing outside, and now it will fall again after sweeping. Today is New Year's Eve, why didn't you stay home to watch the party?"

"It's the same every year. It's not interesting. I'll come out to get some air and sweep it twice."

"Okay, then let's go first, see you, Uncle Zhan."

Zhan Mingsheng watched the two rows of heavy wheel marks fall on the white snow. Behind the snow curtain, the backs of the pair of people who were drifting away looked very depressed, as if they had been abandoned by the whole world...

Walking to the corner, Zhan Mingsheng saw that Ji Ran stretched his arms to cover Yuyang's head with the umbrella. Yuyang lowered his head and the two looked at each other with a warm smile. At that moment, Zhan Mingsheng felt sore, as if he understood something... …

There were faint crying sounds from the first floor, women's wailing and man's suppressed sobbing. Zhan Mingsheng stood in the snow and looked at the window for a long, long time...

Since the Fan family found out about Yuyang and Ji Ran, the two families have been in trouble. Ji Ran was beaten into a vegetative state and lay in bed for several years, and the Fan family, who used to be in the limelight in the officialdom, was also beaten by Ji Ran. When my father was reported to prison, his official career was completely ruined, and he spent several years in prison.

I heard that just after serving his sentence this year, he was released from prison, and the two families were ruined by an intolerable relationship. This is really the bloodiest lesson.

Zhan Mingsheng's tall and straight back suddenly became less straight, and slowly hunched down. He moved his stiff fingers, picked up the broom and vigorously swept up the snow. It wasn't until the body was so hot that it began to sweat that it gradually slowed down.

The snow swept all the way from the front of the building to the gate, and Zhan Mingsheng swept the ground in the yard as if he didn't feel tired.

most of them.

Joyful music radiates from the windows of each house, but the outside world is completely empty in the snowy night, only the lonely rustling sound of the broom across the ground...

He lowered his head to sweep the freshly fallen layer of snow on the cobblestone road. There was a sound of wheels sliding by, and a pair of shoes slowly appeared in his sight.

Zhan Mingsheng stopped his movements and raised his head. Through the white snow on his eyelashes, he saw a pair of handsome young men standing in front of him holding suitcases.

After seeing the person clearly, his lips trembled and moved, his Adam's apple rolled several times rapidly, but he opened his mouth without making a sound.

"dad--"

"Uncle, hello uncle!"

Qin Xiang didn't expect to meet Zhan Mingsheng when he just entered the gate, he planned to send Zhan Xinchen downstairs and wait for him outside, but now he couldn't help taking a step behind Zhan Xinchen.

It took Zhan Mingsheng a long time to find his own voice, and his tone was calm: "Well, I'm back."

"I heard that my mother is ill, and I want to come back to see her." Zhan Xinchen squeezed Qin Xiang's hand from behind.

"Go, she's lying in the house."

"..." Zhan Xinchen didn't expect his father to be so calm when he saw them, and he couldn't react for a while.

"What are you still doing, go upstairs."

After Zhan Mingsheng finished speaking, he took the broom and turned around first, leaving an indifferent back for them.

Qin Xiang and him looked at each other, and finally nodded to Zhan Xinchen to signal him to follow, and waited downstairs by himself.

"If you need to stay with your mother, give me a call, and I'll wait for you in the Internet cafe."

"Well, wait here for me obediently."

Zhan Mingsheng took two steps and looked back to see that only Zhan Xinchen was following. Not far behind, Qin Xiang stood alone in the snow and looked at them. He frowned and shouted at Qin Xiang: "What are you doing standing there! Go upstairs !"

"Dad!" Zhan Xinchen blocked Qin Xiang nervously.

"Why are you nervous? I can still eat him, let him come in, and leave after eating the dumplings!"

"?!" The two looked at Zhan Mingsheng in shock, completely confused, Qin Xiang's liver trembled a little, this, is this sure not to trick him into the house and give him another beating?

Seeing that Zhan Mingsheng had already started to stare at people in displeasure, the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in.

half an hour later

The originally dark room became warm and bright, and the dining table was filled with steaming meals. Zhan Mingsheng dug out two bottles of old wine from the storage room and took them out.

Zhuang Xinlei was cooking dumplings while wiping her tears, while Qin Xiang stood at the side helplessly and handed out a tissue: "Auntie, why don't you, why don't I cook the dumplings, you are not in good health, go and have a rest."

From the time they entered the house, Zhuang Xinlei first cried loudly while holding her son, and then ran to the kitchen to keep busy, sweeping away her sickness and energetically cooking a table of dishes.

Zhan Mingsheng sat silently at the dining table, but silently set up three wine glasses.

"Xiaohe, ah no, is it Qin Xiang? How have you been outside for a year?"

Qin Xiang took the food she handed over, and hurriedly replied: "You can call me anything, we, we are fine, Xin Chen has just finished his lawyer's license exam, and he can look for a job after the Chinese New Year. The industry there is also good." Employment, that is, the food there is still a bit uncomfortable, ha ha."

When Zhuang Xinlei heard that the two children were not eating well, she wanted to cry: "It's okay if you don't eat well, you guys, come back, auntie cooks for you every day, no matter how good it is abroad, you can't feel comfortable at home, we can do whatever you want No, how inconvenient."

"Ah? This..."

"What? Are you still angry with your uncle? He shouldn't have hurt you back then..."

"No, no, no, I'm not angry, really! It was an accident, I know that Uncle didn't do it on purpose!"

"It's good that you can understand. He just has an impulsive temper. Now that he's back, think about it. Auntie wants you to go home."

"Oh." Qin Xiang lowered his head and secretly looked at the exhibition outside.

With a glance, Mingsheng felt that the development of today's matter was particularly unreasonable.

Three people, two bottles of wine, their faces turned red like tomatoes after drinking all of them.

Zhan Mingsheng pointed at Qin Xiang: "You two, you, should I call you daughter-in-law? Or uncle?"

Qin Xiang's eyes could hardly be opened. This was definitely the most he had ever drank. He had been thinking about it for a long time before he realized what he was asking himself: "Huh?"

Zhan Xinchen grabbed his neck and drunkenly emphasized to his father: "Dad, you have to believe that the tiger father has no dogs, she is my wife!"

Zhan Mingsheng nodded with great satisfaction, that's good, that's good!

Zhuang Xinlei saw that Qin Xiang was already unable to lie on his stomach, so she hurried over to support him: "I'll help him back to the room to lie down first, he can't drink any more, and he'll be ruined by drinking."

Zhan Mingsheng waved Qin Xiang to leave the venue first, raised his hand and opened another bottle to pour for his son: "After the Chinese New Year, there will be an exam in the province. Come back and take it."

"Ok?"

"A few days ago, the neighbor on the opposite side said that he was going to move abroad and wanted to sell the house... I was thinking about buying it and decorating it well. In the future, you will live with Qin Xiang, and your mother will give it to you. It’s also easier to cook.”

Zhan Xinchen put down his wine glass, his heart beating rapidly against his chest stimulated by the alcohol: "Dad, you... accept us?"

Zhan Mingsheng didn't nod or shake his head, he drank the wine in his glass and poured another glass, and touched his son vigorously: "Live a good life, you guys live a good life, we - all live a good life, live a good life..."

With tears in his eyes, Zhan Xinchen raised his head and drank the glass of wine, and when he lowered his head, the tears had already rolled down: "Dad, thank you, I really didn't expect..."

Zhan Mingsheng raised his hand to stop him from continuing, slowly stood up while supporting the table, and walked to the bedroom: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, remember to get up at six tomorrow, and go downstairs with him and me to set off firecrackers!"

"Okay! Thank you Dad!"

In the early morning of New Year's Eve, the snow stopped, and the sun was shining brightly on the first day of the new year, making the whole world white.

The snow downstairs was covered with red debris from the exploding firecrackers. After the three men woke up all the residents in the whole building, they hurried upstairs, holding back their laughter.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of food filled the room. Zhuang Xinlei changed into a deep red double-breasted dress, put a large bouquet of flowers into the most conspicuous vase in the living room, turned her head and smiled brightly at them: "You three, Let's have breakfast—"

The three squeezed into the bathroom and washed their hands. After sitting down at the dining table, Zhan Mingsheng handed a pair of chopsticks to Qin Xiang: "Here!"

Qin Xiang's eyes became hot, and he took it with both hands: "Thank you..."

After the meal, Zhan Xinchen dragged him to the garden on the roof, held his face and kissed him deeply.

"happy?"

Qin Xiang nodded vigorously, and laughed out tears: "Happy!"
