Papa Gu apologized, "Xiao Qin, I'm sorry, Mom Taozi is in a bad mood, don't worry, I'll go and see her."

Qin Huan hurriedly said, "Uncle, go quickly."

There were only the two of them left at the table, and Baitao's expression was not very good, she sat at the table and did not speak.

Qin Huan put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay." Baitao shook her head.

"Do you want to go see your mother?"

"No, my dad is here."

Qin Huan stopped talking, and seeing that the table was almost full, he went to get the trash can to clean up the table.

Baitao stood up: "You are a guest, don't do these things, I'll come."

Qin Huan didn't let go, and finally the two of them cleaned up the table together and put the dishes in the dishwasher.

Baitao dawdled behind Qin Huan and said, "I'm sorry, did I embarrass you?"

Her mother entered the room and has not come out until now.

Qin Huan was washing his hands after wiping the table, and said relaxedly: "It's okay, you said, it's a family."

The kitchen was a little quiet, and the second elder hadn't come out after entering the room, so he probably felt a little embarrassed too.Baitao apologized to Qin Huan from her mother: "I apologize to you, my mother is not like this usually, Aunt Liu... is her best friend, we have been together since childhood, and we have a very deep relationship."

"Aunt Liu has never been married and had no children. My mother often talked about the cancer that was detected last year, saying that she has neither a husband nor a child in her life, and no one to take care of her. Although the conditions are good and a nanny is hired, after all Doing things with money is impersonal. My mother often goes to see it, and she said she was strong before, but I didn't expect..."

Qin Huan dried his hands with a towel, turned around, gently put his arms around Baitao, and patted her on the back.

"Since it is today, the funeral is probably going to be tomorrow. I will go to the crematorium early tomorrow morning to see Aunt Liu for the last time. She is a very good aunt. Every time I came to see me when I was young, she would bring me a lot of my mother. Snacks that I was not allowed to eat. When I was a child, I always thought that my family was poor..."

As she spoke, her nasal voice became more and more serious, and tears fell on Qin Huan's shoulders.

Qin Huan patted her on the back and coaxed her slowly.

"Qin Huan."

"Ah."

"My mother will definitely persuade me to get married and have children because of Aunt Liu. If you hear it in the future, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Ah."

"Qin Huan, if I get old and sick in the future, will you take care of me?"

Qin Huan raised her face that was red and swollen from crying, and gently kissed her tears.

"I promise you, I will be with you for the rest of my life, until I die."

***

It was just dawn the next day, and Baitao was wearing a dark suit and was standing at the entrance waiting for her parents.

The heat of the summer morning has not yet evaporated, and the parents and children always have a cold war for a period of time after they have conflicts. Adding the dark clothes and sad emotions of the three of them, this makes this morning even colder.

Inside the funeral parlor, unlike other homes where the funeral was bustling and turning the funeral into a party, Aunt Liu’s morgue was deserted and deserted, only her sister’s family was helping with the work, and colleagues and friends stood in groups in the lobby chatting, saying There are words like poor.

"You're not very old."

"66, quite young."

"Hey, no family and no children, no one to inherit the inheritance."

"Give one to my sister, and donate the rest."

"Forget about the inheritance. After all, you can't spend it even if you die. The key is to suffer from this disease."

"Yes, I have been in a coma in the hospital for more than two weeks, and I have to rely on the help of the nurses. Thanks to my sister, I have to take care of you. If we are the only child now, who cares where you die?"

Baitao and her parents went in to see Aunt Liu.

Even in her 60s, Liu’s aunt, who was still good-looking and temperamental, fair-skinned and always smiling kindly, is now lying in a transparent coffin surrounded by flowers. Both are in their 80s, with dark and wrinkled skin that hangs dryly on their faces. Their faces seem to be asleep, but they are definitely not peaceful.

Gu's mother was sobbing, whining, and Gu's father patted her on the shoulder.

Bai Tao's eyes were red, and she stood by herself, feeling desolate in her heart.

After crying for a while, Gu's mother looked at Baitao who was standing beside her, and stepped forward to hug her.Baitao hugged her mother back, tears streaming down her cheeks.

The estrangement between the mother and daughter who didn't need to stay overnight quietly dissipated in the cool air of the funeral parlor.

The words of others continued to drift quietly.

"This disease is really nothing. It tortures people to death."

"Except for accidents and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, any disease will torture people to death in the later stage."

"It's so pitiful, there isn't even a kowtow."

"No one takes care of you when you're alive, so what's the use of asking someone to kowtow when you're dead."

……

Because Aunt Liu's family was small, Baitao, Mama Gu and Papa Gu helped with the funeral. The custom here is to hold a funeral in three days. Aunt Liu passed away the evening before, so everything was kept simple. Paper was burned this afternoon and the funeral was held tomorrow morning.

So, on the morning of the third day after Aunt Liu passed away, Baitao accompanied Aunt Liu's sporadic family members and sent Aunt Liu to the cremation room. Aunt Liu's nephew followed with the urn "Sir," went to the cemetery to complete the last rites.

Aunt Liu's older sister is also nearly seventy years old, and she was originally at home looking after her grandson, so it is inevitable that she will be busy with these things, so she is very grateful to see Gu Baitao's family and stay with her until now: "It's really hard for you, we must have a meal together. "

Mama Gu declined the invitation, said a few words of condolence, and finally took a look at Aunt Liu's name on the tombstone, and the family of three left the beautiful cemetery.

Mama Gu pretended to be relaxed and said, "I've been busy for a few days, so I'll treat you to dinner!"

Papa Gu: "There's no reason to let a lady treat you, I'll come."

Baitao didn't know what the two of them were fighting for, so she also had a smile on her face: "Since I don't need to treat guests, I will eat expensive ones!"

After mothers quarrel, repairing their relationship with their children is generally related to food, such as calling you to eat, or calling your friends to eat.

"When Xiaoqin came over that day, he didn't have a good meal. I'm sorry. Taozi, ask her if she has time. Let's go together."

Baitao didn't expect her mother to suggest this matter, but she unconsciously took out her mobile phone and called Qin Huan. The moment the call was connected, she understood that she also wanted Qin Huan's impression of her parents. Can be better.

After all, her mother was really rude last time.

Qin Huan: "Huh? Are you done with your work?"

Baitao: "Then what, do you have time now? My mother wants to invite you out for dinner. After all, I didn't eat well last time. My mother apologizes to you."

She said the last few words in a very low voice, after all, she couldn't let her own mother hear her nearby, for fear that her mother would become angry from embarrassment.

Qin Huan said: "You're welcome, I didn't think there was anything wrong last time, I ate very well."

Baitao said softly, "You come."

She went to make a phone call nearby, and her parents were not around, so she acted like a spoiled brazenly.

Qin Huan's voice paused, and then said in a low voice, "Why, do you like me to go?"

"Like it."

"How much do you like it?"

Baitao looked at her parents in the distance, and said in an exceptionally soft voice, "I want to see you—"

Qin Huan's voice turned into a familiar low hoarse voice, which was particularly provocative: "If we see you, where do you want to stay at night?"

Baitao curled her lips: "You only think about that kind of thing. I will be with my parents these few days."

Qin Huan just teased her, coaxed her to say a lot of soft words, and after listening to the honey in his ear, he said: "Send me the location."

Later, I decided to eat hot pot - compared to high-end cuisine, Baitao now needs some steaming human fireworks to warm herself up, such as hot pot, such as Qin Huan.

When Qin Huan came, the family of three had just been seated not long ago. Although this old hot pot restaurant didn’t have to wait for a table, it was very popular and the whole restaurant was bustling. Even in such a bustling environment, Qin Huan’s arrival brought a little quiet.

She was wearing sweatpants and a tight black T-shirt, her hair was slightly wet, she didn't have much makeup on her face, she just put on lipstick, her body was perfect and her complexion was rosy, it was not difficult to see that she seemed to have just come out of the gym.Diners at many tables were looking at her, but she found Gu Baitao as soon as she raised her eyes, and walked towards her without turning her eyes.

Although she kept staring at Baitao while walking, she greeted politely when she walked up to him: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I'm sorry I just finished working out, so I didn't have time to change my clothes."

Mother Gu: "It's okay, it's just a common meal, sit down quickly."

When Qin Huan sat down, Mother Gu was even more enthusiastic than when she came to eat at home the day before yesterday: "Where is the fitness? Xiao Qin, you are in such a good shape and continue to maintain it. Taozi is so fat that she has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days." , next time you go to the gym and call her."

Gu Baitao & Papa Gu: "Where is the fat? I think it looks good."

Gu's mother glared at Gu's father: "The little girl is losing weight, so even if she's not fat, it's good to exercise. She'll just lie down and be lazy all day when she comes home."

Baitao resisted: "I'm tired from work." You think it's so easy to take care of children, but it's tiring both physically and mentally.

Qin Huan also smiled decently: "I also think she is very good, but I will definitely call her when I go to the gym in the future."

The "family" ate hot pot lively.For several days in a row, the sadness shrouded in the death of a close one was healed and dissipated by the heat wave of the hot pot. Gu's mother enthusiastically continued to pick up food for Qin Huan, and kept silent about what happened at the dinner table that day and what happened to Aunt Liu.The meal ended when all four of them ate until they were full. Qin Huan's two hours of training was just for nothing, and he might need to work hard at night to completely consume it.

Gu's mother looks at Qin Huan with the same satisfaction as your grandma looks at the most delicious child in the family during Chinese New Year: "Xiao Qin often comes to play with uncle and aunt when he is free."

Qin Huan agreed: "Okay, as long as your two elders don't find me annoying."

This place is friendly and affectionate, Baitao thought in a trance that she will actually come out to her parents in the future, even if she doesn't come out outright, her parents will know sooner or later that Qin Huan actually has that kind of relationship with her .

What kind of scene will it be like by then?Is it possible for my parents to treat Qin Huan affectionately like they do now?

Gu's mother continued: "Xiao Qin, you are a good child who does things safely. Tao Zi is still a child. When she goes abroad, please take good care of her."

Qin Huan seriously agreed: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will always be with her and ask her to call you twice a day."

Gu's father nodded in satisfaction, and Gu's mother sighed with emotion: "Don't think we are annoying, after all, she is a girl, parents always have to worry more, when Tao Zi has a boyfriend in the future, your uncle and I won't I will worry so much, so I don’t need to bother you anymore. You are so tired, Auntie will toast you.”

Hearing this, Gu Baitao pursed his lips, his expression lightened, and he lowered his head, feeling overwhelmed and irritated by the warmth of the hot pot.

Qin Huan's face remained the same as usual, he picked up the cup and clinked glasses with Gu's mother, with a dignified and decent smile on his face.

"It's okay. I'm also very happy to have Taozi with me. No matter when, even if she's married, it won't be troublesome for her to find me."

"You travel often. If you meet a suitable young man, remember to help Tao Zi pay attention. She doesn't like the one I'm looking for. You have a good relationship with her. She always listens to you. If she doesn't look for him, the good one will be punished." People are picking on the light!"

Qin Huan agreed: "I remember, Taozi will definitely have a very perfect partner."

Gu Baitao: ...?
