Reason is still chaotic

Shen Zichun's residence was in a secluded apartment.

The apartment is very good. It is a large courtyard with flowers and trees. There are several entrances inside and outside. It is a complex building that has been expanded bit by bit.In the past, because the rent was too high, it was only rented to high-ranking officials who occasionally came to Peiping—that is, traitors. Now the traitors are scattered, and the new central government officials can take over the big houses and live in them, and they will never come to rent them. Apartment, so this apartment is not high enough to be low, it was left in a short time.

When Shen Zichun first came to Beiping to settle down, he rented three houses here.Shen Jiali and his son were transported here with great pains. Although he was a strong and strong young man, he leaned against the door frame and panted heavily for a long time.When his breath calmed down, he wiped the sweat from his head, walked into the bedroom, spread out the clean sheets with his hands and feet, lifted the teapot from the tea tray on the table, poured a cup of lukewarm Longjing, and took it out with both hands to the In front of Shen Jiali: "Third Uncle, have a sip of tea and take a rest first."

Shen Jiali took the teacup, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, whether it was because of exhaustion or nervousness.After taking a sip without taste, he looked around and saw that he was in a small neat hall with doors opened on both sides.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Zichun just looked around and smiled a little bit ashamedly: "Third uncle, my place is not as spacious as big brother's house, but...it is enough."

Shen Jiali glanced at him, and saw that when he said this, he had a shy smile on his face, with a faint remnant of the youthfulness and childishness from five years ago, his heart was sour, and at the same time he felt dazed—he In fact, he hadn't made any plans to leave Shen Zijing yet, and was memorized by Shen Zichun because he was confused.It is true that he likes Shen Zichun and is willing to be with Shen Zichun, but then again, he, plus his son who can eat, drink and be mischievous, is not lovable.

Lowering his head in shame, he also smiled at the teacup: "This room is very spacious, it is indeed enough to live in."

Shen Ziqi couldn't understand what the adults were saying at all.He hugged his father's thigh nervously, blinked his eyes and said nothing.

Shen Zichun wanted to tell Shen Jiali the story of the farewell, but after thinking about it, he knew that his third uncle had lived a miserable life in the past few years, and it seemed that he shouldn't poke people's scars; so he cleared his throat, and began to happily talk about his past years While talking, he found a broom and swept the floor all over the room. When Shen Ziqi passed by, he even squeezed Shen Ziqi's face in a friendly way.Shen Jiali listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a question or two. After a while, the atmosphere in the room became strangely harmonious.

Shen Zichun is diligent in his hands and feet, and he is willing to be diligent.After tidying up the room a bit, he had noticed that Shen Jiali's body seemed to be very weak, so he went to help him up, let him look at the study on the left and the bedroom on the right, and asked again: "Uncle, tonight What do you want to eat?"

Shen Jiali hadn't heard such a kind question for a long time, and he felt flattered: "I...I'm fine with everything, you decide."

Shen Ziqi had gradually become familiar with the environment, so he couldn't help saying loudly at this moment: "Eat candied haws!"

Shen Zichun laughed: "Little brother, there are no candied haws outside on such a hot day. I'll go out and buy you some candies, okay?"

Shen Ziqi bit a finger, and nodded expectantly: "Buy some toffee, don't be hard!"

Shen Zichun thought it was funny when he saw his serious appearance.Helping Shen Jiali into the bedroom and sitting down, he dusted the dust off his body, and said happily: "Third Uncle, you wait for me. I'll go out to buy food and come back to eat. The cook in the apartment is not good at it!"

Then he turned around with a smile on his face and walked out.

As soon as he entered the living room, the smile on Shen Zichun's face ebbed, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he couldn't smile at all.

Shen Jiali's confused and cowardly posture just now hurt his eyes. The third uncle in his memory was confident and omnipotent, controlling and protecting the whole family with absolute certainty.The third uncle never needed anyone's opinion, but could make decisions for anyone.He had always been a little afraid of Shen Jiali back then, because Shen Jiali was a small thug when he got angry.

But now, the thugs lost their temper. Not only did they lose their temper, but they also lost their spirits. They even said "everything is fine, you decide" for dinner.

Shen Zichun knew that his third uncle would not do well with his elder brother, and he had some small money on him, so he carefully selected some meals and some candy, and brought them back together in a big bamboo basket.

When he went out, Shen Jiali was sitting by the bed. When he came back to look, he found that Shen Jiali was still sitting by the bed, not even changing his posture.Feeling sad for a while, he pretended to be happy and called out in a brisk tone: "Third Uncle, it's time to eat!"

Shen Jiali ate a delicious meal on the night of his first visit.

After eating and drinking enough, he regained some energy, and he was able to take the initiative to chat and laugh with Shen Zichun, and then kept secretly staring at each other. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this nephew was cute.Although Shen Ziqi was young, but as if out of instinct, he also noticed the tenderness of this new brother, so he immediately became familiar with him and started running around the room.

Sitting at the table, Shen Jiali saw Shen Zichun tidying up the dishes and handing them over to the clerk in the apartment for cleaning, so he couldn't help but said, "Xiaochun knows how to work."

Shen Zichun replied confidently: "Third Uncle, this time I have lived outside alone for these years, so I know how to do a lot of work! I am not afraid of getting tired, I am young and energetic anyway, so why don't I save it? I am so self-sufficient, but my heart Be calm." Then he helped Shen Jiali stand up, and sent him all the way back to the bedroom: "Uncle San, I'll ask the guy to bring hot water to wipe your sweat!"

Shen Jiali was affected by his vigor, and his heart brightened.But when the hot water came, he didn't need Shen Zichun's help, he had to push him out and wash himself.Shen Zichun couldn't figure it out for a moment, and then recalled the obscene words Shen Zijing scolded during the day, and suddenly blushed, and then felt a burst of disgust in his heart—not Shen Jiali, but the person who used "" All kinds of sexual things described by "sao" and "wave".

He has grown up, his mind is clear and his thoughts are firm, and he is no longer the chaotic and absurd ignorant boy he was back then.The more he understands love, the more he feels absurd about his previous obsession - that was his third uncle!

Trying his best to put aside the random thoughts in his mind, he pretended to be silly and smiled: "Third Uncle, do you think I'm afraid of your scars? I'm not afraid! I even ran across the battlefield, so I'm afraid of this?"

Shen Jiali pushed him and waved again and again: "Go, go, I'm not half dead yet, so I don't want you to help me take a bath. You go outside and watch my son, don't let him run around, he is almost like a donkey now !"

Since the attitudes of both uncle and nephew are so frank, the air seems to be flowing.Shen Zichun ran out relieved, and caught Shen Ziqi in the study like a wild dog; while Shen Jiali took advantage of this gap, hurriedly soaked a towel, and quickly wiped his body.

After some fuss, all three of them finished washing.Shen Zichun put the naked Shen Ziqi on the big bed in the bedroom, and asked third uncle to rest as well.Shen Jiali had already changed into her pajamas, and before going to bed, she asked, "Xiaochun, where do you sleep?"

Shen Zichun stretched out his hand and pointed outward: "There is a camp bed in the study, I just sleep there."

Shen Jiali didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled, and then said: "Alright then, go to sleep."

Shen Jiali hugged Shen Ziqi, lying on the bed unable to sleep.

He could see that Shen Zichun's thoughts on him now were nothing more than treating him kindly and supporting him, probably to repay his upbringing and love for him back then.He has to be a quiet old man with peace of mind, and any extra thoughts are delusional.

He always felt that he was unlovable, and now that the facts really proved this point, he felt a little bit sad.But from a rational point of view, he also knew that Shen Zichun had done his best to him—no matter where he was now, he would be a big burden.

If you have money, it's different.

Shen Jiali turned his head and sniffed the pillow, looking for the scent left by Shen Zichun from it.He pinched his son's little hand and brought it to his mouth to bite it lightly. He felt joy and sorrow in his heart, and finally he only felt desolate, feeling like an old dog, really useless.
