Qinghong

My mother's sisters looked embarrassed and looked at her for help: "Jiaoyue, this..."

My mother's face was ugly, my father came out of the kitchen, saw me and Ning Hong, with a surprised expression: "You're back?"

"Yeah." I said, "Let's go out to eat." With such an embarrassing situation, I didn't even think about staying for dinner.

My dad looked around at the old and the young sitting in the customer hall, suddenly realized, and then said apologetically, "We thought you came back alone..."

I don't want to listen to his explanation, I just feel annoyed.

Zou Haiyang stepped out of the bathroom with his slippers in his hands, and wiped his hair carelessly with a towel in his hand. He saw Ning Hong and I were stunned for a moment, strode over to me, put his arms around my shoulders, and said, "Brother, are you back?"

I removed his wet hand from my shoulder in disgust: "When did you come back?"

"I've been back for a week." Zou Haiyang said, "Wait for me, I'll change clothes and go out to dinner with you."

"It's New Year's Eve, where is the restaurant open?" My dad said, "You stay at home to eat, I fried a dozen dishes."

The guests on the sofa couldn't sit still, and they all took their girls to make excuses to leave. My mother didn't have the nerve to stop her, and sent them out of the house with a smile.

I frowned, and was about to refuse, Ning Hong said first: "Okay, thank you uncle."

He gently shook my hand like a baby, but because of his face, I didn't speak.

Ning Hong said, "Uncle, I'll clean up the stove for you."

"No need, you are a guest, just sit down." My dad said.

"That's okay. When we are at home, Lan Sheng cooks and I wash the dishes." Ning Hong said.

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and Zou Haiyang quickly changed the subject: "Brother, help me read my resume." He dragged me to sit on the sofa and whispered, "I thought you wouldn't come back for the Chinese New Year."

"I don't want to come back." I said, "Ning Hong insists on coming."

My mother doesn't know how to cook, and she struggled to choose dishes. She sat on the single sofa with a sullen face, and asked in a stiff tone: "Have you gone to see your friend's parents? What did they say?"

I felt annoyed, so I pushed back in a very aggressive tone: "His parents left early, and he was the only one."

Immediately, none of the three of us spoke. The living room was very quiet. A voice came from the kitchen. Ning Hong said briskly, "Uncle, the range hood should be cleaned. Look at the oil dripping down."

My dad said: "It's time to wash, I always want to wash but always forget."

"Tomorrow, I will call someone who cleans the range hood to help you clean it." Ning Hong said.

I looked towards the kitchen, my heartbeat became louder and louder, my heart seemed to be filled with sugar water, sweet and swollen, how lucky I am to have this guy chasing me, and he is full of praise and praise.

Am I really that good?

I know my nature is terrible, I pursue logical self-consistency, and I am extremely self-deceiving. Ning Hong knows my shortcomings and still thinks I am good.

He's the one who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, and just goes through the south wall with all his heart.

"Oh..." my mother sighed, "You are thirty, I can't control you."

I looked at her, not to mention that I was 30 years old, even when I was 13 years old, my mother still couldn't control me.

My mother whispered: "Be nice to others, don't be like your father..."

I was stunned, I thought my mother and my father had forgiven him for cheating when they remarried, but it didn't sound like that, after more than 20 years, my mother still has this matter to her heart.

I said: "Okay."

Zou Haiyang couldn't bear our embarrassing silence when it was quiet before, so he ran into the kitchen to help.

The sliding door of the kitchen opened, and Zou Haiyang shouted beamingly: "Mom, brother, come and eat, there are prawns and crabs!"

"Here we come." I answered, stood up and walked to the table to sit down.

Ning Hong sat next to me with a bowl in his hand, and winked at me.

I didn't understand what he meant, so I picked up the chopsticks and picked up the stir-fried beans and rice.

As I was eating, I dug out a piece of dried shrimp with shrimp threads from under the rice. I took a closer look and saw that there were four or five dried shrimps and crab roe and crab meat piled up on the bottom of the bowl. Only then did I understand Ning Hong's gesture just now.

I don't eat shrimp and crab very much because I'm too lazy to peel them, and I don't want to learn, it's too troublesome to eat.Ning Hong is not afraid of trouble, he peels shrimps and crabs very quickly, he does it well, and puts a bunch of them in my bowl as soon as he does it.This family dinner, it was inconvenient for him to blatantly favor me, so he hid the shrimp and crab meat under the rice.

I put down my chopsticks and pinched Ning Hong's earlobe: "You are the only one."

Ning Hong patted my hand off, with a serious expression, and a smile overflowing from his bright eyes: "Eat quickly."

After dinner, Ning Hong and Zou Haiyang were washing dishes in the kitchen, and I went into my bedroom to make my bed.

My home has a layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms. In my room, there is a 1.5-meter bed against the wall. There are desks and bookcases next to the windows. The third row of the bookcases are the medals and trophies I won in various science competitions in high school. .

After I settled in Tianjin, my mother wanted to change my room into a yoga room, but my father stopped me. He said that I would not have a place to live if I came back.

In fact, I don't care whether they keep my room or not. A thing should be used to its maximum value. It's just an object without emotion, and it can't keep a fragment of a soul.For example, Ning Qing, I don't need to find out where he is buried, and there is no way to know. I remember him, and I think it is the most suitable memorial.

Ning Hong and I booked a hotel for two nights outside. I was worried about the big white cat. I was afraid that it would be alone at home and rotting my clean and tidy room, so I flew back to Tianjin with Ning Hong in a hurry on the second day of the new year.

Before leaving, my mother secretly gave Ning Hong a 2000 yuan red envelope. On the way to the plane, Ning Hong told me about the red envelope. I said, "Take it." For more than 20 years, my parents divorced and remarried. It is always a thorn in my heart. I always remind myself not to do wrong things like my father, not to be indecisive like my mother, to become a firm, calm, gentle and strong person, but this goal seems out of reach.

Fortunately, there is Ning Hong.

I leaned on the back of the sofa and watched Ning Hong tease the big white cat. He held a piece of dogtail grass picked from the garden of the community, and gestured back and forth, left and right, irregularly, making the big white cat dizzy.

Ivan raised one paw and scratched twice in vain, but found that he couldn't catch it, so he meowed angrily at Ning Hong.

Ning Hong said, "Why are you scolding me so stupidly?"

"Meow——" Ivan was so angry that the hair on his tail exploded, he jumped into my arms and complained.

Ning Hong threw away the dog's tail grass and smiled contemptuously: "Stingy."

The big white cat has round pupils, one blue and one green are quite pretty. It licked my chin and rubbed its ears against my neck.

This time it was Ning Hong's turn to blow his hair. He pinched the nape of Ivan's neck and threw it under the sofa: "I kicked your face on you, don't lick it." Then he hugged my shoulder and moaned, "Mr. Zou, You make out with someone else in front of me."

"Ivan is not a man but a cat," I said, "and you picked him up."

"I don't care." Ning Hong cheated, "I'm so angry." His voice was soft, and the ending was drawn out.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, pulled him into my arms, and kissed his eyes and forehead: "Then I will kiss you."

He couldn't help laughing: "Itchy." His eyebrows and eyes are curved, and his dark brown pupils are extremely beautiful. The throbbing in my heart burst out, as if I pressed the fast forward button, and the green saplings sprang out with lush branches and leaves It grew into a towering tree in an instant, and I want to be with him for the rest of my life.

I like him so much, I want to form a family with him.

I want to go for a walk in the park, go to the market to buy vegetables, and complain about rising prices and impolite young people with him, and then kiss him at the age of gray temples and faltering steps.

"Teacher Zou." Ning Hong rested his chin on my shoulder, "I..."

I said, "I love you."

"Ning Hong, I love you."

Ning Hong lost his voice, his arms clenched tightly, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Ning Hong?" I pushed him worriedly.

"Don't talk." Ning Hong said in a muffled voice. He sniffed and coughed lightly, "Let me calm down for a while." He rubbed against the side of my face like a young animal. I felt the wet marks on my cheeks and smiled. He asked, "You won't rub your snot on my face, will you?"

"No!" Ning Hong denied in embarrassment, "That's tears!"

"Okay, okay, save some face for my crybaby." I said.

"...You're so annoying." Ning Hong pretended to complain, and then said in a small, embarrassed voice, "I love you too, I love you more than you."

Then he said confidently: "I love you so much, can you help me shovel Ivan's shit tonight."

"No." I refused righteously, "It's your turn to shovel shit today."

"But it keeps messing with me." Ning Hong said.

"Who told you to lie to it often." I kissed the corner of his lips, "Sit on the sofa, don't you know how deep you are?"

Ning Hong looked at me speechlessly for a while, then tapped my shoulder: "You are so annoying!"

I just laugh, exuding joy and contentment from my heart to my soul.

Ning Hong, we are going to live a lifetime.
