The winter in Zhejiang is really cold, clammy, cold to the bone.But the house is very warm, and the air conditioner must be turned on for a whole day to have this effect.The bed was replaced with a new sheet, and the electric blanket was turned on, and it was warm to the touch. Cheng Han deliberately removed two mattresses, so it was a bit hard, but the elderly like to sleep on hard beds.Guan Qing really didn't expect Cheng Han to be so careful.

The old man looked at the house with bright and clean windows. There was an old-fashioned bookcase against the wall in the living room, and an upside-down "Fu" was pasted next to it; I bought a disc that is half a person tall. The cover of the disc has patterns and English that the old man can't understand, which is very trendy and high-end.

Guan Qing's bedroom is clear at a glance, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a large balcony, a small wooden bed for one person, and a desk with a stack of books neatly stacked.

Bright and spacious, Guan Aiguo has never lived in such a clean house in his life.He is very pleased that the two children have really grown up and are living happily, which is very good.

Cheng Han insisted on taking them to a restaurant for dinner. In the restaurant built along the river in the ancient street, you could see a big boat with red lanterns floating in the quiet river.

"This meal is quite expensive, isn't it?" The old man sat on a chair cautiously. The tableware in front of him was a set of printed porcelain, which was so crystal clear that he was embarrassed to use his rough hands that had been working hard all his life. touch.

Cheng Han returned while picking up food for him: "Grandpa, can we not mention money during the Chinese New Year! I am not short of money for your eldest nephew, as long as you eat happily, even if I did not pay for this meal."

Guan Aiguo looked at the beautifully arranged dishes and felt that they were tasteless, but they just looked good, which made him feel that using chopsticks to pick up dishes was destroying works of art.

In the evening, the old man took a hot shower in the bathroom at home, while Cheng Han and Guan Qing packed up the things he brought back in the room, including souvenirs for others, hand-brewed sorghum wine, and Aunt Xin’s gift for Cheng Han. A braided red sweater.Since Cheng Han was released after serving his sentence, he must have this red sweater every New Year. Except that the wool is getting better and better, the style and stitches are exactly the same.

"The old lady is really good." Cheng Han felt the feel of the sweater, and shook his head in admiration. "One piece every year. When we get old, these sweaters will probably cover the whole floor! It is also a memory."

Hearing what he said, Guan Qing suddenly remembered that she had brought him something, and hurried to the refrigerator in the kitchen to get a thermos cup back, and handed it to Cheng Han, "Hey, I'm giving you a New Year's gift."

"What?" Cheng Han took the thermos cup and unscrewed the lid curiously. He was dumbfounded when he looked inside. He poured the contents into the palm of his hand, twisted it with his fingers, and then laughed and cursed: "Fuck! Snow! You finally went home, more than 2000 kilometers, and you brought me a jar of snow?"

Guan Qing faced his question with confidence, and he raised his chin condescendingly at him, "You said it yourself, 'You can see snow every year during Chinese New Year, and it doesn't snow in the south. I'm not used to it, it feels uncomfortable, and it feels like constipation.' I Didn’t I bring you the snow, I specially picked the latest and cleanest snow on your window sill, won’t you be constipated now?”

Cheng Han looked at his haughty little figure, the snow in his palm quickly turned into a puddle of ice water, but it made him feel very comforted, he was smiling helplessly, when the old man suddenly showed his head through the crack of the door,

"Not asleep yet?"

"No!" Cheng Han tightened the lid and handed it to Guan Qing, "Hurry up, put it in the refrigerator to freeze. You brought it with all your hard work. I'll take it out and have a look if I get constipated later."

The old man wore a red thermal underwear, walked into the bedroom and handed him two red envelopes that were more colorful than thermal underwear,

"The new year's money is mine, and it is given to you by your uncle Xin."

"Yo?" Cheng Han took the two red envelopes and said pleasantly, "Can I still get the New Year's money? Didn't we say that I won't give the New Year's money when I become an adult?"

"If you are not married, you are not considered an adult!" The old man sat down beside him, and said to him earnestly, "Son, you will be thirty soon, and it is time to find a girl to marry. If you can't find a suitable one in the south , then go home and look for it. And Guan Qing, you are both old and young, and I bring this up every year, and you both fool me," Cheng Han and Guan Qing turned their heads guiltily, and listened to the old man carefully. His teachings actually go in one ear and out the other, which is totally inappropriate. "We can't delay any longer. We must hurry up and be more courageous when we meet a good girl. You two have such good conditions, so you don't have to worry about other girls looking down on you."

Cheng Han agreed, and the old man knew from their attitude that they didn't listen at all, but he was old, and he was powerless in many things.

It was rare for Guan Qing to sleep with Cheng Han at night, and they talked in a low voice under the covers.Guan Aiguo didn't fall asleep in that room, even though the bed was warm and soft, but he always felt awkward and couldn't sleep well.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a completely unfamiliar room, and the smell in the quilt was no longer the smell of his familiar son.Thinking of the two young men in the room next door, he couldn't help overflowing with his father's love, he was relieved and satisfied, but also sighed.In the blink of an eye, the little child rolling around his legs has grown into a big man with broad shoulders and long legs. How wonderful life is.

Taking advantage of Guan Qing still having a few days off, Cheng Han drove them around and took a good look around. The old man liked the ancient towns like Xitang and Wuzhen very much, but he was quite critical of West Lake.

"It's no different from our Xishan Reservoir! It's not as good as Xishan Reservoir, it's crowded with people!"

In fact, the West Lake is still very beautiful, especially on the day they went there, it happened to be sleet, the sky and the earth were shrouded in mist, the drizzle was like silk, and the branches and leaves of the trees by the lake were covered with a thin layer of white snow.Compared with the icy and snowy Northeast, the winter in the Jiangnan water town is like a gentle and delicate woman and a rough and tough man, each with their own charm.

There were too many people, and the old man was seasick. It took only a few minutes to get to the lonely mountain in the center of the lake by a big boat. The old man covered his mouth as soon as he got off the boat.Let him vomit, he is embarrassed, insisting that it is too dirty and pollutes the environment.Cheng Han hurriedly used his scud to buy two plastic bags from the water stall, and then the old man found a place with less people, turned his back and vomited in the dark.

The old man's interest was not diminished by such a good vomit. In the afternoon, he went to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha, and in the evening, he went to Songcheng to watch a performance.On the way, at the gate of the haunted house, Cheng Hanfei dragged Guan Qing to join in the fun. There was a long line of more than ten people, who came from all over the world and spoke various dialects.

The eldest brother in the lead held his mobile phone to illuminate the light all the way. Whenever he met the ghost brother, he would laugh. Cheng Huan didn't want to laugh at all, but he thought this big brother was funny, so he turned his head and said to Guan Qing behind him: "If you are afraid, laugh loudly!" , the ghost is scared away!"

As a result, the front of the team always heard loud and unrestrained laughter at the scariest moment, and Cheng Han happily left the haunted house all the way, very happy.Looking back at Guan Qing, he was quite calm, but the elder brother in front vomited as soon as he came out.

A little girl next to him patted him on the back, and Cheng Han gave him a thumbs up when he passed by: "What a man!"

The eldest brother raised his head and waved to him in his busy schedule: "It must!"

The kindness and joy from strangers made this trip to Hangzhou very enjoyable. In the car, Cheng Han asked the old man what he thought of this day, and the old man said: "Zhejiang is a good place, but there are too many people in tourist attractions."

Cheng Han looked at the old man from the rearview mirror and asked, "Then do you think Northeast China or Zhejiang is better?"

"Each has its own advantages. I am already an old man. I have lived in the Northeast all my life. No matter how bad the Northeast is, I am still happy to stay in the Northeast. You young people are different. You should walk more. You are doing well now. , our country is so big, if you travel more, you can still remember it when you get old."

"Well, my uncle is right." Cheng Han picked up the mineral water bottle and pointed it at Guan Qing. "Then, Comrade Guan Qing, how do you feel about our day?"

Guan Qing thought for a moment, and said: "I am also very happy today. I have been to Hangzhou so many times, and I am the happiest today. I think Hangzhou is the most beautiful today. Because I think the people I met today are very nice. Maybe it is because of the New Year. They are all full of goodwill. So no matter where we go, first, we must discipline ourselves to be a quality tourist, and second, we must relax and dare to blend in with the crowd. With such a large population in China, strangers from all over the world gather in every tourist attraction. If everyone does a good deed within their ability, everyone smiles from the heart, throws away regional prejudice and indecent behavior, the world will be beautiful, and China will be beautiful.

Of course, there are always some people around us who have bad style and vulgar language, regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, they have humiliated us Chinese, so we must start from ourselves, and hope that the quality of Chinese people can be improved "a little bit" from our generation. "

"Applause!" Cheng Han put down the mineral water and cheered vigorously: "Student Guan Qing said so well! Come on, let's smoke a cigarette for Guan Qing's noble ideological consciousness!"

After he finished speaking, he took a cigarette in his mouth with lightning speed, and was about to ignite when Guan Qing took it away, "No smoking, you've failed to be a quality person just after you said that, Where is your consciousness? Eaten by a dog? Hold on!"

Cheng Han turned his head pitifully and asked the old man for help: "Master, look at Guan Qing, he is bullying me again!"

The old man patted him on the shoulder lovingly, "It's his fault that Guan Qing said you, but smoking is not good for your health, just hold back!"

"Ah!" Cheng Han pursed his lips aggrievedly, and obediently became the driver amidst the cheerful laughter of the old and the young.

Guan Qing's annual leave was over soon, and Cheng Han also resumed his black and white upside-down life. They were afraid that the old man would be bored at home by himself, so they specially bought a pair of canary birds so that the old man would have nothing to do. The old man of the doorman gave two packs of cigarettes and told him to get close to his old man.

But the old man is not willing to go out, so he stays at home every day to clean and cook for them, but he can't use those household appliances, and the meals he cooks are hard to swallow. Cheng Han is worse than the old man, and he never wears clothes Come and reach out to eat and open your mouth.So the two of them could only be uncles, waiting for Guan Qing to come back to cook every day.

During that time, Guan Qing ran back and forth between two o'clock and one line every day, and took a two-hour lunch break at noon. He drove home in Cheng Han's small Buick in a hurry, cooked a meal, and rushed back to work.

In a few days, not to mention that Uncle Guan loves his son, even Cheng Han can't stand it anymore.

"Don't come back tomorrow. I'll order takeaway, or I'll take the old man out to eat. If you're tired from running back and forth, the people in your factory will gossip behind your back. It's not worth it."

Guan Qing flipped the spoon skillfully, and put the vegetables on the plate, "You said lightly, can you eat takeaway every day, can it be nutritious? Go out to eat? You don't come back until four or five in the morning, so you can get up at noon?"

"Why can't I get up? I slept from six o'clock to twelve o'clock, and it's been six hours. I can still come back to sleep after a meal, how comfortable it is."

Guan Qing firmly disagreed. He had lived with Cheng Han for six or seven years, and he knew his living habits clearly. Not to mention that Cheng Han liked to stay in bed very much, but he said that their group always had a few drinks at night and was drunk in the morning. Come back to sleep, get up at noon and take the old man out for dinner, too tired!

The old man saw his son's suffering in his eyes, he couldn't help him, and he was thinking about finding his daughter-in-law. Whenever he was free, he pulled Cheng Han and said, "Oh, you two can't go on like this! Every day There is no hot food to eat when I come back, and no one to clean the house. I have to work hard and have to take care of my daily life. I am too tired! Hurry up and find a wife, life will be better if you have a woman!"

Cheng Han was very ashamed, because he had warm food to eat when he came back, and he never had to reach out for housework, and Guan Qing was in charge of his daily life. When he thought about it, he felt that he was a shameless landlord bully who used Guan Qing as a servant .

So when Guan Qing was cooking again, he found that Cheng Han was always following behind him like a dog's plaster.

"What are you doing!" Guan Qing was finally unhappy after colliding with Cheng Han with something again, "Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon, you go out and wait."

Cheng Han was very wronged, and finally wanted to help him, not only was he rejected, but he was wronged as a lazy waste.He leaned on the refrigerator innocently, looked at Guan Qing and said:

"I think it's very hard for you to do this every day, so I thought, can I...can develop my talent in cooking? Maybe it will be developed, and I will find that I am actually an all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor What about talent?"

Seeing that he was so solemnly trapped in his fantasy and unable to extricate himself, Guan Qing couldn't help laughing and crying, but also felt a little relieved, finally he knew that he loved him, didn't he?But he still felt that something was wrong. The person who had served him for so many years didn't say that he felt sorry for him and thanked him. Why did he suddenly have a conscience today?

He folded his arms leisurely and asked, "What did my dad tell you?"

Cheng Han's eyes widened, "No!"

Guan Qing asked again: "Really?"

Cheng Han pursed his lips and complained aggrievedly, "The old man said that we work so hard every day, and we have no hot food to eat when we go home, and no one to do housework. I just thought that the situation he said seems to be aimed at you , does not suit me! So..."

"So you want to learn how to cook?"

Cheng Han nodded sadly, with a very pitiful expression.

Guan Qing was amused by him and laughed silently, and then he sighed, "Forget it, if you dare to do it, I dare not eat it! I have served you for so many years, and it's not hard work, I'm used to it."

"Then what should I do when I'm old?" Cheng Han asked naturally: "What if we get old, what kind of epilepsy or hemiplegia do you have... Why are you glaring at me? I'm telling the truth, you see you are weak and Like chickens, we have to take precautions, when the time comes, you won't be able to cook, and I can't cook, so it's possible that we will starve to death?"

Cheng Han made a mess of the old life of the two, and inadvertently promised him the future, old age and even the companionship of this life, making Guan Qing immersed in his nonsense and what should be taken for granted.

If one day he gets old and really suffers from some incurable disease, will he still be with him like this?Will you still guard him and wait to eat the food he cooks?

"Eh? Eh?" Seeing that he was in a daze for no reason, Cheng Han waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Come back to your senses, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"

Guan Qing stared at the familiar face in front of him, and felt an inexplicable warmth and inexplicable soreness in his chest.

During this period of time, he felt that he was about to let go. He felt that he could be his good brother willingly. He even felt that he could be full of blessings when Cheng Han and other women entered the marriage hand in hand, and wholeheartedly hoped that Cheng Han would be well. , no longer extravagant and greedy, take back all the love in my heart, and let no one know that he has loved him so deeply and humblely in this whole life.

And the emotions he had worked so hard to cultivate towards purity were all broken up by his words so easily, digging out the buried obsessions again, and blowing ripples in his calm heart.His heart is as high as the sky and the earth is broad, but his love for him has nowhere to hide.

"Then..." Guan Qing turned his head back to hold back the tears in his eyes, and answered indiscriminately: "Then we can only starve to death."

"Ah, cough cough," Cheng Han covered his chest and stretched out his hand towards him, lowered his voice to look like he was getting old, and said intermittently: "Off...off...Qing'er, play more Chicken legs, I want to eat... eat braised chicken legs! Cough cough."

Guan Qing put down the shovel in his hand, turned his head and imitated him and said, "Cheng...Cheng...Cheng Han, the old man can't digest well, no...can't...eat too much meat!"

In the kitchen, the two of them staged a drama about who is older than the other. Guan Aiguo watched from the outside, feeling that it is good to be young, and it is good to have friends.Seeing that the two of them are enjoying themselves so much, he can feel relieved that they can keep each other warm and take care of each other in the busy and bustling big city.

The old man decided to go back to the northeast...
