Later, my dad came to pick us up in person.After the serial deaths of me and Qingzhi, the nerves of the whole family seemed to be tense. I just walked a little far away with the knight, lost contact for a while, and they hurried out to look for it. .

Xia Ke seemed to have a lot to say, but once that night was over, the next day, he smiled and rubbed against me like a normal person.It looks like you don't want to talk to me anymore?I didn't delve into it either, so let it go.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the next week will be spent visiting relatives and friends, and the knight seems to be busy after returning.Because I went out for several days in a row, the idle computer became the property of the knight. I stayed in the room all day with the computer in my arms, and rarely went out to move around. I even brought the meals in.

Although my mother didn't want to see this bad habit, she didn't say anything.But I know that if it's not my own child, my hand can't reach that long.

It was a rare day to eat at home, and the knight still didn't show up.My mother put down the tableware and looked at me after eating, and asked, "Lin Lin, did the grandparents of the Lin family call you?"

I paused for a while, "I fought today, and asked me to accompany them on New Year's Eve."

"are you going?"

"I don't want to go." Obviously there are already two families, but they keep saying that blood is thicker than water.Since you didn't wait to see my mother at the beginning, and didn't expect my birth, you waited until now and begged me to repay you?Does it make sense?

My dad also stopped and looked at me, "You should go and see the two old ones."

My mother echoed: "Think about how good your grandpa was to you when you were young, but now they are too old to walk, so it's time to visit them."

After taking two mouthfuls of rice, I nodded in a muffled voice.

New Year's Eve, ten o'clock in the morning.

After packing himself up, he went to the Xia's room to take a look at him, and found that he was sleeping soundly.It has been more than a week since I came back from City C, and Xia Ke has been immersed in the computer program all day, not knowing what he is doing.Every time I leaned my head over, I was dizzy by the dense and continuous sliding codes on the computer.For a week, seven days a week, the knight may not sleep for more than ten hours.

And it should be done today, right?

Thinking of this, I tiptoed over to tie the quilt for him, left a note, and then went out.

Grandpa and grandma live in a small alley, and there are not many houses that were not considered old a few years ago.I pulled open the gray iron fence and walked slowly.My grandparents lived on the eighth floor, and they lived with my useless father... It should be said that my useless father lived with them.

The eighth floor will arrive soon.

The door is open, and you can smell the aroma of broth after walking a few steps forward.I called my grandparents at the door, and soon the old man came out of the house and welcomed me in.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen my grandfather, he is no longer taller than me, and his back is not very straight. His gray hair covers his whole head, the hair on the top of his head is thinner than the surrounding area, and his face is full of marks of time.The situation of the mother-in-law is not much different. She has been tortured by diabetes for so many years, and she is even more haggard.

I sighed in my heart, but raised a smile, "Where are Dad and Lin Yue?"

Lin Yue is my half-sister, she is nine years old this year, she is a quirky girl, very lovable, but I can always see her whenever I come here.

When I mentioned my father, my mother-in-law turned her head, "I went back to her hometown with your aunt, and left us two old people here."

Grandpa glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "What are you talking about, let's have dinner when Lin Lin comes."

It was a really heartbreaking lunch.Grandpa drank the wine without saying a word, listened to my mother-in-law scolding my shameless father, and at the end, he picked up a chopsticks dish for me.

The mother-in-law sighed while talking, and then asked me: "Is the food not delicious? Why do you eat so little?"

"It's delicious... I prefer soup, and my mother-in-law's soup is really good." This is true. My mother-in-law used to be a standard home cook, and even home-cooked stir-fry can produce a different taste.

Grandpa answered with a smile: "Naturally, your mother-in-law is a chef."

"Huh? Is it?"

The mother-in-law gave grandpa a gouged look, "Why don't you eat more?"

"I'm eating."

I took a small sip of the soup, looked at the interaction between grandpa and mother-in-law with the spoon in my mouth, and found that grandpa could step on my mother-in-law's dead spot every time, which is really strange.When my grandfather was young, he was the secretary of the village party committee, and when he was old, he was the director of the county education bureau. In all the primary and secondary schools in his hometown, he was considered a very prestigious scholar.In the only few episodes of my childhood, my grandfather was calm and calm, even graceful. He was born in a scholarly family, and he always had ink on his body, and he was also a handsome young man.

But this is the kind of grandfather who, when he gets old, will pour a small wine by himself and smile quietly while looking at the reproachful eyes of his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law is the complete opposite of the grandfather, very aggressive and stubborn.In the final analysis, there are two fundamental reasons why this family has become so fragmented. One is that my father is really worthless and my mother feels that life cannot go on, and the other is that my mother-in-law treats our mother and daughter very badly.

Did grandpa stop my mother-in-law when she beat my mother?

I don't know, it's been too long, too long.

After the meal, I was in no rush to go back.My mother-in-law then pulled me to talk about the family's shortcoming, from my studies to my incompetent father.

Tears flowed down while talking.

Grandpa took a look at us, and finally left with his head shaking.

The mother-in-law said that in previous years, my father was always at home with them on New Year's Eve. It was impossible for them to travel long distances to go to my aunt's hometown to celebrate the New Year, but this year my father went to my aunt's hometown.It's ridiculous, but my mother-in-law thinks it's because my father has no money, and if he doesn't have money, he has no power.

I sneered in my heart.

Earlier last year, the daughter-in-law my father picked up changed jobs and finally jumped into a stable job. She started selling health care products, earning money from the elderly and children, and the store developed into a chain store. .When a person has money, his status will change immediately. My father can no longer be the master of the family's affairs, big and small, and everything is overwhelmed.My father has been useless all his life, he wants to be content with the status quo, he is unwilling to quarrel, so he continues to be useless like this.

Until a few days ago, my father and aunt were invited to celebrate the New Year. My father came a little late because of the construction site. expressed.

Speaking of this, my mother-in-law looked at me meaningfully: "Did your aunt call you?"

I shook my head.

Now that I've said this, I understand it. Does the aunt really have the idea of ​​clearing me out of the house?As everyone knows, there is no shadow of her little person in my current life.

The mother-in-law sighed. Since I came here, I have heard her sigh no less than ten times. "You, no matter how you say it, you are still from the Lin family, and the blood of the Lin family is flowing on your body..."

I pursed my lips and said nothing, I didn't know what expression to put on.

My mother-in-law is a typical feudal ideology, patriarchal, and did not look forward to my birth from the beginning.Before I was three years old, I basically followed my grandmother in the wild in my hometown. I occasionally saw my grandparents a few times every year, but it was not a pleasant memory.After I was three years old, my mother took me away from the Lin family, and lived in a simple house given by the hospital. It had no doors or windows, but it was dark and damp.At that time they were not yet divorced, until the day when the old man who was gambling outside couldn’t get any money from his grandparents, he somehow found our place to live. .At that time, I was the only one in the house. After my mother came back, she hugged me and checked up and down, and finally decided to put a divorce agreement to put an end to this twisted family.

When leaving, grandpa lay on the sofa and fell asleep with his head tilted, and mother-in-law took a blanket to cover him——

I silently remembered the warmth in this deserted place, and then walked out of the Lin family's gate without looking back.

When I walked downstairs, my mother called me and said that when the knight woke up, I would take him to my second aunt's house for the New Year. I mumbled, but my mother asked me what was wrong sensitively.

Should I say I know my daughter Mo Ruomu?

I smiled and said nothing.

Now I am happy enough.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the whole family nestled on the sofa of the second aunt's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Even the grandparents who usually stayed in their hometown were picked up by the second aunt.Although grandpa and grandma loved my aunt the most, they couldn't hold back the second aunt the most, and there was no way to reason with the second aunt.

The Spring Festival Gala is held every year, and I am tired of watching the program format, and I feel sleepy after dinner.Stepping on the stove, my mother is on the right and the knight is on the left. Both sides are warm, and I fell asleep leaning on my mother without much thought.

When I woke up, my grandparents were clamoring to go back to their hometown, saying that they were worried about the chickens and ducks in their hometown.

People, what is the purpose of this life?

Grandpa and mother's desolate old age life, because the ineffective son is destined to work hard for him, grandpa and grandma have planted the land all their lives, dedicated their lives to the land, never enjoyed a moment of leisure, even the filial things of the daughters are all because of this Life is too simple to bear.

In the end, it was my mother, the eldest sister, who took on the heavy responsibility of sending the elderly home, and brought me along by the way.

Glancing at the time, it was 09:30.If you go back and forth, you can catch up with the salute.

Seeing me get up, the knight tugged at my sleeves and wanted to follow.I turned aside behind him and looked at his Qingzhi and Yufeng with sparkling eyes, and spread my hands.The knight turned his head bitterly and bitterly.

Since the arrival of the knight in the afternoon, Yufeng, who was playing with pesticides, has maintained an unbeaten record under his guidance. Now not only Yufeng, but even Qing Zhi worships the knight as a great god.

Speaking of which, the knight seems to be well integrated?

Is this a good sign?

In the car, the two old people were still full of energy, smiling and talking about the changes in their hometown in the past two years, who built a new house, who left again, and who...

Talking like this, I fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, I was on my way home.

My mother looked at me resentfully, "I thought that if you don't sleep, you can chat with me to suppress sleepiness..."

The corner of my mouth twitched, "There's nothing else to talk about."

"Lin Lin, you are going to grandpa's house in the morning, are your grandpa and mother in good health?"

"pretty good."

"Then... where's your dad?"

For so many years, my mother has never mentioned him in front of me. Maybe it's because I didn't feel the love from that person since I was a child, so she didn't want to make me sad?

I thought about my words and said, "He and my aunt went back to my aunt's hometown, and I was the only one with my grandpa and mother."

Now, my mother is silent.

I moved my sore body, and then I said, "Mom, why did you say that grandpa chose a mother-in-law as his daughter-in-law?"

"You have to ask your grandpa about this," my mother replied with a smile, "but I'm also very surprised, your grandpa Lin Bochun is a man full of poetry and books, and his level of thought is much higher than that of ordinary people, but what about your mother-in-law? She is a typical philistine woman, fierce and ruthless. You can ask them when you chat with them."

I shook my head, "I'm just curious, I don't really want to know."

My mother laughed again: "Your mother-in-law also has a nice name, Fanghua."

Fanghua Bochun is quite a good match when you think of it.

"Hey, where's your sister? Did you follow her back?"

"Well...Speaking of which, that aunt doesn't like to see me very much. They didn't tell me at all during the New Year of the Lin family a few days ago..."

My mother turned her head and took a deep look at me, "Are you unhappy, sister Yao? I think you have been depressed since you came back from the Lin family. If going to the Lin family makes you so unhappy, we will not go there in the future."

"No, I think the old man should still visit, it's just that other people who don't want to see me just go away." Even though they planted a curse many years ago, even though I didn't forgive them, even though I didn't bother with the so-called blood relatives at all, but Now that they are old, it would be too miserable if I didn't visit them.

My mother nodded, freeing her hand to rub my head.

In fact, I have kept something from her for ten years.

When my dad came to us, he didn't ask for money, he just wanted to persuade my mom to get back together with him, and the cigarette hole he left on the bed sheet was just to vent after I refused the request.

But so what, I can't push my mother back to the Lin family to suffer, even if she is for me.

Back at my second aunt's house, before the bench was warmed up, my younger siblings pushed me out to set off a salute.

The chivalrous man leaned into my ear with a relieved look on his face: "Lin Lin, your sister is too scary!"

This terrible probably refers to some technical problems, right?

I turned around with a smile on my face and pinched his face until both cheeks were pinched red before letting go.The knight stared at me blankly.

Me: "Next time you come close to my ear, I will pull your ear."

I had hoped that such intimidation would keep him away from my ears.Unexpectedly, this guy looked like he had opened the door to a new world, and took advantage of the darkness around him to lean into my ear again and let out a soft breath: "It turns out that Lin Lin's ears are really sensitive."

Um?What do you mean really... I dare you to experiment with my ears all this time? ?

After the knight's eyes met my weird smile, he ran away in a hurry.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in urban areas, but they have been demarcated, and within the allowed range, as long as they are not excessive, they are acquiesced.

Yufeng took two firework sticks and ran like crazy, howling while running, I watched Yutong silently turned her back to her, probably because she didn't want to admit that the mad dog was her own sister.

Qingzhi and his second uncle lighted the salute together, the eyes of the still immature boy were full of brilliance, it was the hope for this year, the desire for the future...

There are also some lazy people who did not go out, such as my father, my mother, and my second aunt——

The knight gave a firework stick from Yufeng, walked to me, looked up at the flowers blooming in the night sky, and suddenly said with emotion: "It's the first time to watch the night sky and watch the fireworks quietly during the New Year."

"Don't worry, there will be a second and third countless times."

The knight paused for a moment, "Did Lin Lin make a draft before saying this?"

"Why draft?" I looked at him suspiciously.

The knight stared at me quietly for a while, until I turned my face away uncomfortably, and then said softly: "Then I will take this as Lin Lin's promise. Once you make a promise, you cannot go back on it."

"Hey, it's so fleshy."

"Haha. By the way, is there anything unhappy about Lin Lin coming back from seeing grandpa and mother today?"

"No," I said nonsense with my eyes open, "I just think it's good to have someone by my side when I get old."

The hero hummed lightly.At this time, a huge white flower suddenly exploded in the sky, followed by the second and third blooming one by one, eager to end their short but dazzling life in the dark night.

Suddenly, the light in front of me disappeared, and a huge shadow enveloped me, and there was a soft touch on my forehead——

"Happy New Year, Linlin."

The author has something to say:

When I wrote this chapter, I was a little emotional. About Lin Lin’s family, it’s actually a portrayal of the author’s real family. Some of Lin Lin’s thoughts were the author’s thoughts at the time. Now I feel naive, but the things I did were splashed out. Time passed and nothing was left except a trace of shame in my heart.

Then I wrote hi, hahaha, wouldn’t you leave precious paw prints on your forehead if you killed you! ! ? ? ?
