During the New Year's Day holiday, Xu Meiyin didn't go to the store, and drove Jiang Yu to her brother Xu Qing's house to buy some things to visit her 89-year-old mother.

Xu Meiyin is the third child in the family. Her father has been dead for more than ten years, and her mother is now living in the home of the eldest son Xu Qing. She is still in excellent health, except for a little deafness.Many things can be done by myself without the help of others, and my body is still strong.

"Uncle." Jiang Yu put the things in his hand in the living room, and asked after yelling, "Where's grandma?"

"Here we come." Xu Qing wiped his hands and said, "I'm in the house, I'll call her."

In Jiang Yu's memory, he can count on one hand the relatives who have been sincere to him since childhood.Jiang Defa was counted as one, and Jiang Yu, who was not very old, called him grandpa, and a cousin, and his grandma was left.At that time when he was living at his house, my grandma almost left him all the delicious food as soon as possible. Even if she made a mistake, she would not yell at him loudly, and would firmly protect him behind him when he was being scolded by Jiang Dezhi.

Jiang Yu didn't like visiting relatives, but if he was meeting his grandma, he would be more than happy to come with him.

The old man came out from the back room with a cane, wearing a small knitted hat, showing his white hair on the sideburns, raised his hands after seeing Jiang Yu: "Are you two here?"

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and held it: "Yes."

The sun shone into the courtyard. Jiang Yu took a few small benches and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun. He held the old man's hand and talked for a while. a dish."

"Don't fry, I'll come and see you." Xu Meiyin said, "You can cook something to eat. I'll take Jiang Yu back first. His father is still waiting at home. I have to go to the store in the afternoon."

Xu Qing didn't seem to want to mention Jiang Dezhi, so he didn't follow the last sentence: "What's it like to leave without eating at noon?!"

"What does it look like?" Xu Meiyin stood at the door, "I'm not here to be a guest, you are my elder brother, if I want to eat, I'll let you make it, can I be polite to you?"

Xu Qing couldn't say no to this younger sister since he was a child, so he wanted to go, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, slow down on the way back."

The old man still grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and refused to let go. He walked to the gate on crutches, watched the car turn around, and said, "Can't we leave after lunch?"

"Grandma, I will come to see you next time I have time." Jiang Yu didn't let go of the old man's hand, "Go back quickly, it's cold outside."

The old man didn't move, watching Xu Meiyin drive the car in front of him, muttering in his mouth: "I haven't come here for a while, I left again, I left again... You are all busy, I haven't seen you in a few months..."

Jiang Yu couldn't bear to hear that Yu Xin didn't get in the car for a long time. Xu Meiyin rolled down the window and raised her voice: "Go back, I'll come back when I'm free in a few days!"

The car slowly drove out of the lane, Jiang Yu sat in the passenger seat and looked at the bare branches outside, Xu Meiyin said: "I will go to an aunt's house with me in two days, she is a good friend of my mother when she was young, and she has a daughter Not very good, I want you to make it up for her."

Jiang Yu said: "I can't finish my homework, let her find a tutor."

"You child." Xu Meiyin glanced at him, "Speaking of which, isn't it convenient for the girl to go to the same school as you? It's okay to spare an hour for her tutoring."

Jiang Yu didn't care about these things, and he didn't want to give tutoring to anyone. He had a lot of practice books and test papers every day. If Zi Luo hadn't looked at him, he probably wouldn't have finished so efficiently.

He didn't answer Xu Meiyin. When he got home, Jiang Dezhi had already cooked the meal. Jiang Yu glanced at his footsteps and paused. After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table.

During this period of time, he had very little communication with Jiang Dezhi, and he had nothing to say after a few words. Those who went to school and went to work didn't stay at home for long, and Jiang Yu was used to this every day.

Xu Meiyin seemed to want to say something when she picked up the chopsticks, she opened her mouth and ate the food, and finally said after a long time, "This meat must be too old to chew."

"It's so delicious." Jiang Dezhi ate a piece and said while biting, "I can bite it!"

Xu Meiyin's face darkened: "I have bad teeth! Don't you know?!"

Jiang Dezhi smiled, and took a sip of the wine: "My teeth are very healthy, this meat is delicious, Jiang Yu eats a piece!"

Jiang Yu saw that Jiang Dezhi put a piece of meat on the rice for him, and he ate half of the rice. The taste of the food was not very good. I don't know what sauce Jiang Dezhi used when frying it. He didn't like it very much.

Jiang Dezhi enjoyed the meal, Xu Meiyin didn't eat much, and Jiang Yu ran away after finishing the rice. After running to Zi Luo's house, he found that his family was eating lunch, and suddenly felt that it was not the right time to come.

Seeing Jiang Yu standing still in the yard, Xie Xiaoan stretched out his hand and called him, "Xiao Yu, come quickly!"

Zi Luo and Zi Chengmin raised their heads at the same time, and then Jiang Yu paced over: "Aunt Xie."

Zi Chengmin asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Yu originally wanted to say that he had eaten it, but when he saw the braised fish and vegetable stir-fry on Zi's dining table and the pumpkin omelette at his own stall, he was speechless.Zi Luo went to the kitchen and brought him a pair of bowls and chopsticks: "Come here."

So Jiang Yu passed by.

Then the Jiang family's quiet life for a long time was overturned by this meal.

Jiang Dezhi appeared angrily at the gate of Zi Luo's house, and shouted at Jiang Yu who was bickering with Zi Luo: "Jiang Yu! Come home with me!"

Both Xie Xiaoan and Zi Chengmin came out of the kitchen with wet hands from the yelling, while Jiang Dezhi was still standing at the door, his face somber that he was about to burst into anger at any moment.Xie Xiaoan wondered, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter, Lao/Jiang? Such a big temper." Zi Chengmin has a good temper, trying his best to speak calmly, "If you have something to say, talk about it, a child like you dare not approach you."

Jiang Yu in the room sat next to Zi Luo, and Jiang Dezhi who was standing at the gate looked at each other for a moment.

Jiang Yu stood up and found that Zi Luo was grabbing his clothes, he lowered his head and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He walked out the door, and Zi Luo's gaze stayed behind Jiang Yu.Until Jiang Yu and Jiang Dezhi returned home, Xie Xiaoan was worried, and turned to Zi Chengmin and said, "Go and see, don't let anything happen again."

Jiang Yu followed Jiang Dezhi into the house, but did not close the door.When Jiang Dezhi returned to the house, he roared loudly, pointing at Jiang Yu, "Isn't there any cooking at home? Is it for you to eat? You don't want to eat it! Eating that bowl of rice is like eating with a little girl for a long time." Grinding! Why are you going to other people's house? I didn't cook? What do you make others think, I abuse you and don't give you food? Ah? Tell me about Jiang Yu..."

Jiang Yu looked down at the floor and said nothing. Xu Meiyin didn't stop her just now. Hearing this, the anger at the dinner table at noon suddenly recovered, "What's your name! Is Lao Zi's family someone else? Go eat some food What's the matter, didn't you eat there often since you were young? Are you sick, drink some cat urine and lose your temper?"

"If you don't have food at home, go to someone else's house to eat, don't care who the family is, you just say it's outrageous!" Jiang Dezhi's voice did not fall, but rose, "You always turn to him, look at the good son you have taught You have called my dad several times every day, this is the son you protect every day!"

The consequence of Xu Meiyin answering the words was like now, it turned into a couple fighting again.Jiang Yu's left ear went in and out of his right ear as if he was numb, but Zi Chengmin couldn't bear to listen and came in to persuade him: "Calm down! It's not worth arguing about this."

Jiang Dezhi's face turned red, and he looked back at Jiang Yu: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're just thinking that this family treats you badly and I treat you badly, don't you?"

Jiang Yu still didn't speak.

"How many times have you come out to eat when I cook recently? What do I owe you, Jiang Yu, while talking to me with a straight face?" Jiang Dezhi looked at him, "Just tell me what I owe you today!"

"You have never owed me anything." The family relationship is extremely complicated, and "ow" cannot be used to explain it clearly, and it is even impossible to sort it out with anything else.Jiang Yu looked outside the door, "As for why I haven't come out for dinner recently, Dad, don't you really know?"

Jiang Dezhi didn't know, he just pretended not to know, he didn't think that it was enough for Jiang Yu to ignore him for so long.He was stunned for a moment and said again: "What's wrong with me scolding you? Can't I scold you a few words?"

There was a person standing outside the gate, Jiang Yu turned his head and saw Zi Luo's figure appeared in his sight, suddenly he didn't feel bad.

Zi Chengmin pulled Jiang Dezhi to persuade him, saw Zi Luo standing at the door, and said to Jiang Yu, "Go and play with Luo Luo, it's okay."

"No! Just stay at home!"

Zi Luo stretched out his hand and shook him, just like when he was a child, and now he was short of saying: Jiang Yu, come here.

Jiang Yu didn't look back, and walked out of the gate directly.

The two of them walked out of the alley, out of Baihua Street, and didn't speak to each other until they reached the park.There were not many people in the park at noon, Jiang Yu was walking on the runway, looking down at the shadow: "Why don't you talk."

Zi Luo's face was covered with golden sunlight, and he said with a smile, "I want you to be quiet for a while."

"You're by my side..." Jiang Yu looked at him hesitating to speak, then looked away and said, "I'm fine."

"Ah."

"I'm used to it a long time ago." Jiang Yu said, "Uncle Zi heard it. I was very full from this meal, but it was embarrassing for my dad to say that again. I feel very embarrassed."

Zi Luo shook his head: "It's okay, you don't need to see outsiders. My parents actually..."

Jiang Yu rarely heard Zi Luo stop in the middle of his speech, he turned his head and asked, "What?"

"My parents actually," Zi Luo said, "like you a lot."

That's true, Jiang Yu nodded, and almost blurted out: What about you?

Do you also like me?

"What's the matter?" Zi Luo noticed that he suddenly looked away, followed his gaze and glanced at the lake in the distance, thinking that he was in a bad mood and couldn't help crying, so he said, "Want to hug? I can borrow you."

Jiang Yu picked at his fingers: "Why do you have to borrow it for a hug...do you still have to pay it back in the future?"

Zi Luo turned his body over: "Of course I have to pay it back."

Jiang Yu opened his eyes and looked at the light in Zi Luo's pupils: "Stingy."

"It's a cheapskate." Zi Luo stretched out his arms, "Would you like to hug me, don't wait when it's time."

When Jiang Yu buried his face in Zi Luo's shoulder, he smelled a familiar faint fragrance.

Jiang Yu couldn't remember when was the last time he hugged Zi Luo, he tightened his arms, smelled the good smell of Zi Luo greedily, closed his eyes as if he was still a little home where they were never happy After coming out, they played and frolicked in the park, and wrestled into a ball when they couldn't say enough.

He suddenly felt that time had never stopped to wait for anyone. In the past 18 years, there were traces of him and Zi Luo everywhere.They have changed from a young age to the appearance of today's teenagers. The existence of Zi Luo is the reason for his peace of mind. This has never changed from the beginning to the end, Jiang Yu knows.

"Luoluo." Jiang Yu's voice was a little muffled.

Zi Luo responded, and patted his back: "Cry, I won't watch."

"I don't cry." Jiang Yu grabbed his clothes tightly, "Can I borrow a hug at any time in the future?"

"Yes." Zi Luo's voice was a little hoarse, "but you have to pay it back."

Jiang Yu was speechless for a while: "How do you pay it back? I give you my life?!"

"That's not necessary."

Jiang Yu felt Zi Luo's hand patting his back, like putting a child to sleep.

Zi Luo said, "Repay whatever you borrow, and I will repay it with your hug in the future."

Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback, hid on his shoulder and snickered for a while, until he couldn't help shaking his shoulders, Zi Luo helped him to distance himself, looked down: "Are you really crying?"

"..."

"Jiang Yu?" Zi Luo was a little unexpected, but felt that Jiang Yu had never been so strong, so he hugged her back and coaxed her, "Cry, give me sweets after crying."

"..." Jiang Yu finally couldn't hold back, and laughed several times, "Who is going to cry! I won't cry."

Realizing that he was being tricked, Zi Luo pushed him away and walked forward, "Tsk, that's bad, Xiao Jiang Yu!"

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand behind him and shouted, "Don't go! You haven't hugged enough!"

"No more hugs."

"Stingy!"

Zi Luo turned around: "It's just a cheapskate."

The lake didn't freeze, Jiang Yu didn't bother to take anything with him when he came out, his neck was empty and his hands were empty, the wind in the park was strong, but fortunately the sun was warm and it wasn't that cold.Jiang Yu trotted on the runway for half a circle and stopped slowly beside Zi Luo, saying, "Go and see if the little daisy is still blooming?"

"Let's open it." Zi Luo walked to the side, and saw a few small flowers clinging to each other from the neatly trimmed trees, "Come and see."

Jiang Yu hooked his head and looked: "It's so cute, but the one I bought for you last time is prettier than this one."

Zi Luo didn't make a sound.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Jiang Yu turned to look at him, "What are you doing, it's scary."

Zi Luo blinked and asked, "Didn't someone else throw that flower last time?"

"Throwing what looks so good..." Jiang Yu suddenly lost his voice, and his brain buzzed as if crashing on the spot. Only then did he realize what he said just now, and hurriedly explained, "Ah, no! It's someone else No, I saw it on the side of the road and took it back...I..."

Give me back what I said, I can't take back that sentence just now.The more Jiang Yu talked, the more guilty he became, and he didn't know what to do. He ran forward and shouted as he ran, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

"Jiang Yu!" Zi Luo chased after him.

Jiang Yu didn't look back, and ran desperately: "Are you going to race with me!"

Zi Luo couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's bigger than you, don't run away."

At this time, Jiang Yu seemed to be wound up by someone, and he ran faster and faster, even faster than the usual 800-meter run in physical education class. When he stopped and looked back, he found that Zi Luo was far away from him. up.

There was no one else in the park, just the two of them.

At a distance of about 400 meters, Jiang Yu saw Zi Luo walking towards him, getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yu bent slightly and panted, thinking that Zi Luo seemed to have someone he liked. Although there was no clear answer, he could already hear that there was such a person.

He didn't dare to mention it, for he was afraid that he would be unhappy if he heard about that person.

He also wanted to know if that person would not like Zi Luo, and it would be best if he didn't like Zi Luo, so Zi Luo would still belong to him alone, and he wouldn't leave him to accompany others.

There is no way, he is so selfish, so greedy, so unable to extricate himself.
