Quick Time Travel: My 72 Girlfriend

The wind outside was blowing hard, the door hummed, and the water in the house turned into ice. Even Gongsun Shuoxi, who usually doesn't feel cold, felt cold all over his body after standing in the house for a long time.Seeing his precious daughter frozen like this, her father hurriedly wanted to warm himself up by the fire, volunteered to chop a few pieces of wood he had picked up happily, threw them all into the porcelain basin, and picked up a match to light it. , It went out again, I rubbed one, and it went out again. I repeated this seven or eight times, and I felt incredible, "Oh, is this match damp? Why can't it light?"

Si Ma, who was groping to scoop out a few bowls of rice from the rice jar on the stove early in the morning, hurried over while leaning on the wall after hearing what he said, "Don't be really damp, I forgot to ask Anzi to buy a box just now. Now there is no fire, how do you cook?"

Gongsun Shuoxi, who had been covering her mouth and nose tightly to keep tears from flowing since her father got the matches, forced a smile to herself, walked over to get her father's matches, and said, "Don't really get wet, let me see What's going on with the fire?"

As she said that, she took out a match head wrapped in phosphorous fire from the matchbox, and lightly stroked the match skin on the back, and the light blue sparks shone lightly, like a very gentle person. eyes.

"Oh, Ningning still has a way."

Seeing the sparks, her father yelled happily, smiled at Sima who anxiously asked if there was light on, and said proudly, "Our family Ning Ning is not only good at studies, but also does housework. daughter!"

As he said that, like a naughty child, he snatched the match with a light blue flame in Gongsun Shuoxi's hand, and lit the firewood he had put in the porcelain basin with it, and the room was brightened instantly. warm up.

"Oh, this foolish old man, I'm afraid he scratched the match handle on the skin again."

After hearing what he said, Sima thought for a while and knew that it was his illness that had happened again. She groped and grabbed Gongsun Shuoxi's sleeve secretly, and said to her in a low voice, "Ningning, don't worry about your father. Recently, sometimes my sanity is not clear. I always think that you are still in school, and ask me why you haven’t come back every day. Even if I feel sorry for him, can you come back and see once in a while? Us? Anyway, we are two old bones, and we don't expect to live long, you come back once every four or five months, okay?"

Gongsun Shuoxi's nose was sore, she suppressed her tears, nodded, and because her mother couldn't see, she said, "I..."

"Oh, I forgot. Your parents over there won't let you come back. If you sneak over like this, what will happen to them?" Thinking of something, Sima hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said, " Ningning, go back quickly, or your parents will be in a hurry when they can't find you."

"Ningning just came, why do you want her to go?"

Before Gongsun Shuoxi could answer, her father gave her mother a hard look, opened her eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you chase Ning Ning away today, then...then I will go with her!"

Both mother and daughter were amused by his words at the same time. Gongsun Shuoxi forced back the tears in her eyes, reached out to grab the unwashed rice in her mother's hands, and smiled, "I'm not going anywhere."

When Si An came back after buying the meat and vegetables, Gongsun Shuoxi had already helped wash the rice, and was sitting with his parents and three people chatting around the porcelain basin that was glowing with fire and exuding warmth. When he came back, he quickly stepped forward to take the meat and vegetables in his hand, and said to him, "Brother, go to the fire first, and I will wash the vegetables."

"Hey, how can I let you come, you finally came back, let mom cook for you today."

"Daddy is here to help."

Her words made the two old people stand up unhappily, how dare he let her wash the vegetables and cook for the whole family by herself.Si An was about to reject Gongsun Shuoxi's proposal straight away, and when he was busy working alone, he suddenly saw his beloved sister lip-syncing to him, knowing that she had something to say to him, so the honest and filial Si An hurried to appease her. The parents said, "Mom and Dad, you should take a break, I will cook with Shuoxi." At the end, afraid that the two old people would disagree, they added, "Don't worry, I will cook, and she will stand by. That's it."

Looking at the two old people who suddenly became quiet and loving, Gongsun Shuoxi wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Who is their real child?Turning her head to see her brother's silly smile, she felt joy and happiness in her heart.

It's great that someone can love me like this.

The stove in her house was broken and not soundproof when she left. I didn’t expect that after all these years, the seam on the stove was still there because she boiled eggs without adding water when she was a child.

Gongsun Shuoxi touched the long opening with nostalgia, turned around to look at the sweaty Si An who was busy picking vegetables and chopping meat, and persuaded, "Brother, take a rest, I have Speak to you."

"I knew you had something to tell me."

Si An smiled innocently, looking at the Gongsun Shuoxi who hadn't seen him for so many years, and who had become brighter and more unattainable, stretched out his hand to compare with his chest in nostalgia, "Before, you were only this tall. When I was a child, as long as there was something that I didn’t want to tell my parents, I would definitely mouth to me and let me talk to you alone. After so many years, I thought you don’t remember.”

Gongsun Shuoxi smiled, but remained silent. Her life was divided into two halves, so how could she not remember the hard and happy half?It's just that the life she is living now is the life of the other half. No matter how much she thinks about the past, how can she go back when time flies by?

"This is for Mom and Dad."

From the pocket of his coat, he slowly took out a thick stack of things wrapped in an envelope, Gongsun Shuoxi saw that her brother suddenly turned red, obviously angry, and hurriedly explained, " This is my salary, I have pocket money at Gongsun's house, so I don't need it, I think it should be useful for my parents."

"We don't need these!"

Unexpectedly, her brother didn't listen to her at all. It is rare for an honest and docile man to get angry when he encounters such a thing. With a cracked hand, he pushed back the envelope handed over by his sister, looked into her eyes, and said angrily, "Brother can make money by himself, and I can make money to cure my father's illness and mother's eyes!" His anger would scare his younger sister, he slowed down, and looked at Gongsun Shuoxi tenderly, originally he wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but his palm stopped a few centimeters away from her head and landed on her shoulder, He was tall, and when he looked at Gongsun Shuoxi like this, he happened to be able to see her beautiful eyes when he lowered his head. "Ningning, as long as you stay well, stay at Gongsun's house well, find someone who loves you and love you well, and live your life well, in this way, no matter whether it is your brother or your parents, you will feel at ease. of."

Gongsun Shuoxi remained silent, if their lives were not good, how could she be good?As for the person who loves her... Gongsun Shuoxi's eyes darkened, and her heart began to ache.

In this world, there are tens of thousands of people and thousands of things, and when it comes to personnel and affairs, how can the wind be the same, and how can the relationship be loyal?

"Brother, I definitely don't mean to belittle you by saying this, but ask yourself, how much money does father's illness cost, and how much does mother's eyes cost? After all these years, haven't you figured it out in your heart? If you alone help people Carrying bricks to carry cement to make money, when do you think you will be able to raise enough money?" Looking at his brother's increasingly dejected face with a sigh, Gongsun Shuoxi felt sad for a while, the burden of the family had long been on her young and immature shoulders In fact, ever since his mother suffered from eye problems, he dropped out of school and worked around as a coolie to help raise the family's medical expenses for his mother. Now he is only in his early thirties, but his hair has already grown gray, and he is still alone now.

"Although I don't have much money, I can help. Besides, even if it's to take care of my parents, I should consider getting married."

Gongsun Shuoxi sincerely planned for her brother. Si An originally listened to her in silence, but now when she heard her say this, he suddenly raised his head, his chapped lips moved, and a look of sadness appeared in his eyes. , looked at Gongsun Shuoxi's beautiful face, and shook his head for a while, "Let's talk about these things later... Shuoxi, last time your birthday, the bag your father gave you, is it useful?"

When he suddenly mentioned this matter, Gongsun Shuoxi was a little bit taken aback, not knowing how to answer this question.Thinking of the leather bag that she put in the drawer of the room because the tailor said there was no way to sew the hole, Gongsun Shuoxi hardened his conscience guiltily while handing over the money in his hand, while trying to bypass this topic and speak out Said, "Well, it's very useful. Brother, let's take this money."

"That's good." With a smile on his dark face, Si An took a thick wad of money from his sister with complicated emotions, and seeing her relieved, he felt his heart was bleeding.

He promised to give his sister a good life, but he worked in the cement factory for three months before he could afford the leather bag. When he gave it away in the name of his father, he was really half worried and happy at the same time, because he Finally, he was able to fulfill his childhood promise and buy his sister a bag that she had envied since she was a child.

But now, his useless brother wants his sister to give money to treat his parents.

The whole family ate happily and talked all the time around the fire-burning porcelain basin. At ten o'clock, when her parents couldn't make it through and went to bed, Gongsun Shuoxi stood up and borrowed Looking at the snowflakes still dancing outside by the lights in the room, he said to Si An who was still adding firewood to the porcelain basin, "Brother, I'm going back."

"Going back so late?" Si An frowned when he heard the words, and was about to ask to stay. Seeing Gongsun Shuoxi's frowning, knowing that she couldn't help herself, he changed the words that came to his lips, and said, "I send you off."

"No need." Looking at the still dancing flames, Gongsun Shuoxi shook his head, "I want to be alone."

Si An stopped talking, knowing that his sister had always been stubborn, he opened the door and watched as his sister turned and left, her figure slowly being engulfed by the night.

Walking on the snowy road, listening to the "creaking" sound under his feet, Gongsun Shuoxi casually walked forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot. He was not worried about being bitten by a dog that suddenly jumped out from the side of the street, and he was not worried that his feet would be bitten. Skidding and wrestling, the snow was still falling, she raised her head and exhaled, looking at the fluttering snowflakes in the night, and sighed.

The cold snowflakes fell on her body, and then on the only lamp post in the vicinity, on the street lamp covered in white, and on Beigong Yang whose shadow was stretched by the dim light of the street lamp. body.

Gongsun Shuoxi stood not far from the streetlight, looking at the person under the streetlight who leaned against the lamppost and half-raised his palm to catch the crystal snowflakes falling from the sky.

Her light blue eyes were dimly lit, and when she heard footsteps, she slowly turned her head.

"Why are you here?"

"I'll pick you up."
