after a hangover

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Chen Wenxuan finally arrived home.

After he paid for the car, he took out the suitcase from the trunk, and stopped for a while while pulling the suitcase to the gate.

He hasn't been back for four years, but the family is still the same.A wall made of red bricks surrounded two houses, one larger, which belonged to his family, and the other smaller, which belonged to his grandfather's.In the past, the two families were separated, divided into two yards, and walked through different doors.Later, for the convenience of the two elderly people coming to their house, his father dismantled the original wooden planks and built a wall with red bricks to enclose the two families together.It is winter now, and warm sheds have been installed in front of the two houses, making it difficult to see clearly inside the house.

A pile of firewood was piled up on the east side of the yard, and a big black dog was tied beside the firewood. The big dog was lying lazily basking in the sun in front of the nest.

When Chen Wenxuan pulled the box and walked into the yard, the big black dog that was lying on the edge of the yard heard his voice and stood up vigilantly, but when it saw that the person was Chen Wenxuan, its tail that had been drooping instantly Roll up and shake it towards Chen Wenxuan.While wagging its tail, it made a flattering sound towards Chen Wenxuan. If it wasn't tied by a chain, it would have rushed to Chen Wenxuan's side to lick his hand immediately.

Seeing Heigou like this, Chen Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, he let go of the box in his hand, and walked to Heigou's side.

Seeing him coming, the black dog excitedly stood up on two legs.

Chen Wenxuan patted Heigou's head with his left hand, "I haven't seen you for four years, but you still know me."

I don't know if the black dog understood what he said, but it kept licking Chen Wenxuan's hand.

Chen Wenxuan patted Heigou's head again, "Okay, I have to go into the house, and I'll come out to find you later."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and pulled the box and walked towards the house. The black dog behind him saw that he ignored him, and kept barking, wanting him to come back.Chen Wenxuan couldn't bear it, so he turned back, took out a marinated chicken claw that Qin Heng bought for him from his backpack, tore open the package with his teeth, and threw it into its bowl.The black dog couldn't resist the temptation of the chicken feet. After licking Chen Wenxuan's hand, he honestly went to eat the chicken feet.

Chen Wenxuan didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh at his food-eating behavior, he was reluctant to let him go just now, but now he forgot about him because of a stewed chicken feet.

Seeing the black dog eating the chicken feet honestly, Chen Wenxuan finally left with the suitcase.

He opened the swing door of the greenhouse with one hand, fixed the door with his foot, first pulled the box into the greenhouse, and then went in by himself.It was inconvenient to do things with one hand. After this series of actions, he accidentally kicked the door of the greenhouse several times. A bell was tied to it, and the bell would make sounds from time to time as he moved.

Just as Chen Wenxuan pulled the suitcase into the greenhouse, the door suddenly opened, and his mother came out of the room.

The old lady wiped her hands on the apron with her head lowered as she walked, and she didn't look up to see who came in. She just smiled and said, "Did you catch any fish again? I said I won't let you go today, wait a few days, If you don’t listen, let’s go for nothing.”

The old lady didn't hear anyone speaking, so she couldn't help but said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't hang up until the fish got angry? Why didn't you talk to me? I..." She raised her head when she was talking. After the person arrived, the words he originally wanted to say stopped on his lips, he stood still, and the circles of his eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing the old lady like this, Chen Wenxuan felt uncomfortable, suppressing the sourness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm back for the New Year."

The old lady stared at him for a while, then turned around and wiped her eyes with the apron, then turned to look at him again, but did not move forward, but just stood there, stood there for a while and began to wipe her eyes with the apron again.

Chen Wenxuan's eyes were also red. He put down the suitcase in his hand and walked up to the old lady, holding her in his arms with one hand. He wanted to speak but his voice was choked.He cleared his throat and said reluctantly, "Don't cry, it doesn't look good when you cry. I used to be the one who messed up, but after that I come back every year for the New Year."

The old lady honestly let him hug him for a while, then pushed him away, pinched his arm, "You dare to say that your mother is not good-looking, I think you are fat."

After she finished speaking, she wiped her eyes unnaturally, pretending to be vicious on purpose, "Go into the house quickly and look at the clothes you are wearing. If you freeze to death, you don't know how you freeze to death. Dahei is smarter than you. Are you wearing cotton trousers?" After speaking, he pinched Chen Wenxuan's arm again.

Then she realized something was wrong, "What's wrong with your arm? Why is one arm exposed, what's wrong with the other?" Then she went to pick off Chen Wenxuan's clothes.

Chen Wenxuan forgot to be sad because of the startled action of the old lady, he stopped the old lady's hand and said: "It's nothing, you let me enter the room first, let's talk after entering the room."

The old lady gave him a suspicious look, walked to the door of the warm shed, pulled the box and walked into the house, Ren Chen Wenxuan would not let go no matter what stopped him.

After entering the house, Chen Wenxuan took off his clothes, and told the old lady the lie he had planned before.After hearing this, the old lady began to wipe her eyes with the apron again. After wiping her eyes, she wanted to pinch Chen Wenxuan a few more times, but she glanced at Chen Wenxuan's arm and withdrew her hand again.

"Tell the truth, how did you get this hand? When did it happen? I don't believe it was a fall. Tell me the truth."

Seeing that the old lady didn't believe him, Chen Wenxuan thought of ways to make up a few more words, but the old lady still didn't believe her and kept staring at him, as if he wouldn't stop if he didn't tell the truth, so she had to tell the truth.

After hearing what he said, the old lady's eyes were red, and she muttered over and over again, "This student now, this student now..." She couldn't say anything else, presumably I was also short of breath, and I felt sorry for him, so I didn't know what to say.

After repeating it several times, the old lady asked again: "When did this happen? You don't tell your family, how do you take care of yourself over there? You say you, how can you not tell your family if something happens?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenxuan knew that the old lady was in a hurry again, and quickly explained: "It was when you went to Shandong, I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I didn't dare to tell you."

Hearing what he said, the old lady finally couldn't hold back, and thumped him on the back, "I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, so why aren't you afraid of being beaten now!"

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Chen Wenxuan shrank his neck, not daring to say anything.

"You are so injured, how have you been doing these days, how are you cooking?" The old lady still felt distressed, and looked at Chen Wenxuan carefully for a long time, trying to say "thinner", but found that this dead child seems to be fatter than before A little bit.

"I have friends who take care of me." Chen Wenxuan hesitated.

When the old lady heard this, she immediately forgot what she wanted to say just now, and asked quickly: "Which friend is Zhang Weiwei? Doesn't she have a boyfriend? Have you broken up?"

"No," Chen Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not Zhang Weiwei. She and his boyfriend didn't break up. That friend is a man." When he said the last sentence, his voice dropped.

The old lady gave Chen Wenxuan a suspicious look, but said nothing.

Seeing the old lady like this, Chen Wenxuan didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't understand why the old lady insisted that he was lying, so he asked, "How do you know I'm lying?"

The old lady was still holding his arm to watch, sniffing her nose from time to time, listening to his question, she replied: "You are raised by me, I don't know you yet, you like to wrinkle your nose when you lie, this habit grew up It hasn't changed."

Chen Wenxuan touched his nose subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed.He looked around the room, and suddenly asked, "Where's my dad, why haven't I seen him for so long?"

"I went to the river to set up the Internet. I left in the morning and haven't come back yet." The old lady picked up Chen Wenxuan's cotton-padded jacket and put it on him. "Put on your clothes and go to see your grandpa. You. But don’t say that this arm was hit by a student when you get there, the old man will definitely be angry if he finds out.”

"Oh, I see." Chen Wenxuan answered, found a small box in the suitcase, put it in his pocket, turned and walked out the door.

Chen Wenxuan's grandfather's house is to the east of his house, just a few steps away.

As soon as Chen Wenxuan walked to the door of the warm shed, he heard the sound of two people playing in the room. His grandfather's ears have not been so good since his grandmother passed away, and it has become more and more serious in the past few years. If anyone wants to talk to him, they have to Leaned close to his ear and said to him.

He had bought a hearing aid for the old man before, but the old man insisted that it was uncomfortable, so he would rather not hear than wear it.He bought him another one this time, which was a bit more expensive than the previous one. After he bought it, he put it in his ear and tried it, and it felt okay.If the old man still doesn't want to wear it this time, he has to have a good talk with him.

The sound of the duo in the room shook the eardrums, but the old man sat on the rocking chair with a satisfied face, and patted his legs in time with the time.

Chen Wenxuan quietly walked to the rocking chair and turned off the record player.

The old man found that the record player had no sound. He thought that the record player was out of battery, so he opened his eyes quickly, only to find Chen Wenxuan standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Xuanxuan, why are you back?" The old man suddenly stood up from the rocking chair, and shouted in surprise. Ever since he became deaf, he felt that everyone around him was deaf, and he always spoke at the top of his voice. , You can use as much strength as you can.

Chen Wenxuan rubbed his ears that were almost ringing from his grandfather's shock, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I miss you so much when I come back for the New Year, do you miss me?"

The old man kept looking up and down happily at Chen Wenxuan, wanted to reach out to touch him but hesitated.Seeing him like this, Chen Wenxuan felt a little sour in his heart, stretched out his hand and hugged the old man into his arms, and found that even though the old man was wearing a padded jacket, he was so thin that he could hug him easily.

The old man couldn't help but patted Chen Wenxuan's back with his hands, and kept saying, "Good boy, he's growing taller again."

Hearing what he said, Chen Wenxuan almost shed tears. It wasn't that he had grown taller, but that the old man had become shorter.
