[volleyball! ! ] Five days and four nights

She came out, but she pursed her lips and held on, carelessly avoiding all emotions, with a dissatisfied expression of "I have to think about it".

I knew she was ticklish, so I poked her waist with my hand, and she burst out laughing without straining, tears streaming down her cheeks.When she was avoiding me during the fight, she stepped on an empty step. I stepped forward and quickly embraced her.

"Promise?"

"Promise what?"

"Marry me."

"Oh... It really sounds good to say it myself." She bit her lips and smiled, her ears were a little red, and she raised her arms around my back, getting tighter and tighter, like a cat that has found a warm stove Just as hard as he got into my arms.She told me word by word, "Okay. Marry you."

Fives,

About two years after their marriage, Axi became pregnant.

After surviving the worst period of pregnancy reaction, she finally had the appetite to eat.

Asking her what she wanted to eat, she pursed her lips and thought about it, but the result was that a bunch of fruits were out of season.

I have a headache—it's not that these fruits are unavailable, it's just that eating such out-of-season fruits and vegetables makes people feel uneasy, not to mention that she is a pregnant woman who needs to be treated most carefully.So I went around the supermarket and bought some seasonal fruits, which were fresh and beautiful. When I got home, I washed and cut them up and put them in a fruit bowl and handed them to her.

"...Huh? Where are the strawberries..."

"Strawberries are only available in winter... eat this, it's very sweet and delicious."

Ah Xie was a little unhappy, but she still squeezed a toothpick to poke a piece, handed it to me first, let me take a bite - she always does this, I don't know if she has formed a habit.I didn't like her, I lowered my head and bit off the corner, she watched me eat it, and then she happily started to eat the fruit she didn't want to see a second ago.

During that period of time, my culinary skills improved greatly, and I cooked all kinds of delicious meals for her, and raised her to a perfect state.Every time she frowned and said that I was already fat and couldn’t eat any more, I just smiled and ignored her blocking the chopsticks I was holding food for her, continued to add food to her bowl, and made excuses confidently, "Ahhhhhhhh , for the baby in my womb..."

I still enjoy pulling her into my lap, it's just that she's too shy to sit on it.

"...How can I explain to your coach when I broke your leg." At that time, I had already entered the national team.Axi supported her waist, with her six-month-old belly sticking out, and tapped my temples, her teasing tone and lame excuses made me laugh out loud.

A few days later, when I gently stroked her belly, I could feel the shape of a small fist through the thin belly, and the corner of her heart was extremely soft.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead, and squeezed her calf that was swollen and swollen because of pregnancy.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard...because you're here."

six,

Our little girl's name is Harumi, Black Tail Harumi.

His facial features are like Ah Xi's, but his temperament seems to follow me.

The little guy is so cute, white and tender pieces of lotus root, hands and feet, big black eyes, and two small dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiles, just enough to fit half a grain of rice.

But he was rambunctious like a little devil.In Ah Xi's words, if you don't learn well, you have to learn Dad's weird sleeping posture. When she wakes up in the morning, her messy hair that seems to have been crushed by a storm will make Ah Xi laugh until her stomach hurts. Then she said to me, " Here, you are responsible for smoothing your precious daughter's hair—" She even turned out the black cat wearing the No. With one eye, Ah Xi was dumbfounded holding the doll that was almost torn apart by five horses. She pretended to be angry and slapped Qinghai's ass twice. sue.

"...You two are on the same team!" Ah Xi angrily opened the refrigerator, "Okay! There are no more blueberry yogurts tonight! I want to eat them all! All—all—"

We watched this baby like this, it grew up little by little from birth, and then grew little by little.

It seems like yesterday she was only five weeks old, and I held her gently to burp her when she finished feeding, and today she has a few teeth, and she is learning to walk crookedly while holding the finger I stretched out, and tomorrow She is no longer that meaty girl with round buttocks and belly, she has grown long hair, tied with a crooked mint green bowknot, and is alive and kicking at the kindergarten gate, kissing me on the cheek and then Wave goodbye to Dad.

Time flies so fast, I can't catch it at all.The parental diary and photo album that recorded her growth were full, so I opened a new one and wrote to the end again. Ah Xi and I can only look for those times that we never look back from the photos and words, and we are nostalgic for her. The last second, yesterday, a month ago, or even last year.

Seven,

At the age of 29, my grandmother passed away.

Qinghai was still young, so she didn't understand.Wearing the black skirt that Ah Xi prepared for her, she twirled around, never tired of seeing the curve of the skirt, and ran around the yard holding bright yellow flowers in her hands.

This is the first time I have experienced death, from a loved one who is connected by blood.

My hands have never been as cold as they are now, Ah Xi's palms are no warmer than mine, but she holds my hands tightly, so tight that it seems that the bones are squeezed into the flesh and blood of my palms.

"Tie Lang, I am here, I have always been here."

Eight,

Harumi Kindergarten.Harumi elementary school.Harumi went to high school.Harumi is in high school.

Seeing this girl washing in front of the mirror with a toothbrush dangling in sleepy eyes, her fair skin, dark hair, slim eyes and white teeth made me suddenly feel uneasy and sad.I finally understand that when I saw Ah Xi's parents, her father looked at me with stern and harsh eyes—that's right, the baby that I have loved and cared for for more than ten years will be sent to another man's hands in a blink of an eye Yes, how could I be willing to give up.

So I often talk to Qinghai sourly, tell Dad whoever bullies you, and Dad will beat him up for you.

I still remember the year when I retired from the national team early due to injury at the age of 32, Ah Xi took Harumi to watch the last match.After the game, I hugged the two of them regardless of the smell of sweat all over my body. Qinghai stretched out her small hand and wiped my face carefully. I don't know whether it was tears or sweat, and told me in a childlike voice, "Daddy, you are my hero!"

But Qinghai is no longer the little meat doll she used to be. She will no longer hug my neck with red eyes when she was wronged in kindergarten, and she will not proudly boast to others that I am Dad is the best at playing volleyball.Now, the 16-year-old Qinghai just cocked her neck and looked at me casually, "Dad... just don't worry about it. You don't even look at what club I'm joining." After she finished speaking, she He hurried out, took a piece of bread in his mouth, and said goodbye to us vaguely.

nine,

It was only when I saw that Harumi won the national judo medal in his third year of high school that I suddenly realized that I was getting old.

"At least, I still have a young heart—" I looked at the mirror dissatisfied and pulled out the silver strands that came out of my hair.

"Yes!" Ah Xi called me from the yard, "Mr. Tie Lang with a young heart, please come and help me move the flowerpot!"

After a lot of tossing, I beat my waist that was starting to ache a little, sat on a chair in the yard, and drank the tea that Ah Xi had made.

The sun slowly set behind the towering buildings in front of us, the golden light splashed on the leisurely clouds, the crows on the telephone poles flew back to their nests, and the warm afterglow began to cover the deep twilight bit by bit Eat the last temp.

Ah Xi sat down beside me, holding tea and looking at me quietly.

"Ah, ah, Tie Lang's hair is no longer as vigorous as before."

"What. Ah Xie's dimples have also lost weight, turning into small wrinkles on her face."

I held her hand on my knee tightly in the palm of my hand, and my fingertips touched the skin on the back of her hand that was no longer so soft and elastic. I knew that after another ten years, it might be like old bark Wrinkled old.

She looked at me with a smile, and there were fine wrinkles around her eyes, traces of aging that no expensive skin care products could cover.His eyes were no longer as clear and bright as before, but there was a moist and warm light in his eyes.

I raised my hand to touch her hair, and then pinned the back of her head, leaned over and kissed her hairline.

She was a little shy, her cheeks were reddened by the afterglow, "It's really... so old... not serious!"

Yes, they are all very old—from the first time we met, to acquaintance, to falling in love, to being together, there have been dozens of years in this process, which is enough to make a pot of mellow wine.

Time is always an irresistible wound attached to us. We grow up while bleeding and then grow old little by little. Only when we die can the wound warm and slowly condense into a scar and stop bleeding—she is With the help of my younger brother and I, we carried our luggage and moved into my single apartment, and then we moved from the apartment to this independent but warm house together, watching this home built by the two of us bustlingly add a third A small member, and one day that little girl gets married, and this house returns to a world with only the two of us, but we are all getting old, and the room is full of memories that refuse to ebb
