The journey was not far away, and a group of 5 people entered the small courtyard rented by Qian's father and Qian's mother in the nursing home. The interior layout was similar to Wang Wei's, only a little bigger.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qian Duo rushing down from the second floor, greeted Wang Wei with a smile, and said, "Hey, you are here, third child! And Brother Di! My mother asked Aunt Zou to make you tomato and egg dumplings! Wrapped up, just wait for the pot!"

Saying this, Qian Duo had already walked up to Wang Wei, pulled Wang Wei from Yang Di, let him sit on the sofa beside him, pulled over the fruit plate on the tea table, handed a piece to Wang Wei, and said: " Here, eat some fruit!"

"Thank you." Wang Wei said with a smile. Everyone in the room was empty-handed. Out of politeness, they only put the cantaloupe in their hands and didn't move their mouths.What's more, there are elders around.

Mother Qian obviously saw Wang Wei's concerns, so she took one piece and handed it to Father Qian, and said, "A friend brought it back from Xinjiang two days ago, and said it was an authentic cantaloupe. I tasted it. It’s sweeter than the melons sold in our market, Xiaowei, try it.”

Then he motioned to Yang Di and Qian Lei, and said, "You two also eat by yourself."

At this time, Qian Duo, who was not greeted by anyone, also realized that his act of taking melons for Wang Wei alone just now was inappropriate, so he reached out and quickly took two pieces of melons from the table, and handed one piece of melon to Qian Lei and Yang Di at the same time. With a funny smile on purpose: "Please, two brothers!"

Yang Di looked at the two slices of cantaloupe held up in front of himself and Qian Lei, and thought to himself, does Qian Duo mean that the two don't help each other?After taking the cantaloupe, Yang Di frowned and smiled, and said, "You are the only one!"

Hearing this, Qian Lei also took the cantaloupe from Qian Duo's hand, stretched out a finger and poked Qian Duo's forehead, and said: "You are still my 'pro' younger brother, so I don't know how to get a piece for your brother first. "

Qian Lei's finger was hard to say, Qian Duo made a "hiss—" and jumped back suddenly to avoid Qian Lei's torture, and returned to sit next to Wang Wei, rubbing his head and laughing: "Oh! , both of them are 'pro' brothers, so a bowl of water will be flat!"

Wang Wei had already discovered the smell of gunpowder in the atmosphere of the scene. He could not forgive Qian Lei's injury, and he was afraid of disappointing Yang Di's affection.

Hanging two people is delaying three people.This kind of situation is too inconsistent with the life-long one-person education that Wang Wei has experienced since he was a child.Does a person really have to choose someone to spend the rest of his life with in this life?Wang Wei stared at the cantaloupe in his hand, lost in thought.

Although Mother Qian said that she was gentle and kind all her life and never played tricks on others, she had lived half of her life anyway, so she couldn't see the turmoil between the three brothers.Turning his head and seeing Wang Wei's dejected look again, he sighed lightly, secretly thinking that the matter between Wang Wei and his son was not as simple as he said.

"Why don't you eat?" Qian's mother gently pushed Qian's father with her hands, and said with a smile: "You don't talk, how can you let these children eat?"

Father Qian, who has always disliked too sweet and greasy fruits, picked up the cantaloupe that had been put back in the fruit plate and took a bite, then picked up the fruit knife on the table, and cut the melon into bite-sized pieces. Put it into a small plate and hand it to Mother Qian, saying: "Eat this, don't get your lipstick on."

Seeing Qian's father and mother respecting Ruobin, Wang Wei thought of his parents when he was young. He lowered his head and took a bite of a cantaloupe, and praised with a smile: "Well, the taste of this melon is different! No wonder King Luo Bin couldn't eat it. It's a pity."

"Oh? What did King Luo Bin say?" Qian Duo threw the melon rind in his hand into the trash can, reached out and took another piece and began to chew.

"Traveling is a drifting stalk, and the return date is not as long as the melon.

Ning Zhi's heart is broken, and he weeps every night. "Wang Wei read the original sentence with a smile.

"Hehe, does this mean that you are crying because you didn't eat the cantaloupe?" Qian Duo laughed.

"No, it's more like being far away in the frontier, homesick." Wang Wei said with a smile.

Qian Duo picked up the third piece of cantaloupe, gave Wang Wei a thumbs up, and said, "In our mathematics department, only Colonel Wang is the only one who cares about you. You have so much writing and ink in your stomach!"

"People say that you are close to Zhu Zhechi, you have been roommates with Xiao Wei for so long, and I haven't seen you grow much!" Qian's mother laughed and teased her youngest son.

"I'm good at math!" Qian Duo immediately jumped up to refute his mother upon hearing this.

"Good at math? Why didn't you pass Xiao Wang in the final exam?" Father Qian scolded Qian Duo, and reached out to pick up the remote control to turn on the TV.It will be 7 o'clock soon, watching the news broadcast on time every night is a habit that Qian's father has maintained for decades.

"My dad is going to watch the news broadcast again, it's really boring." Qian Duo quietly leaned into Wang Wei's ear and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei quietly replied: "There is always nothing wrong with knowing more about the general situation of the country."

"As far as my dad is concerned, he definitely knows about the major events in the country before the news broadcast! I really don't know what he still watches every day~" Qian Duo said quite disdainfully.

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this, but did not speak.Qian Duo deliberately reminded him, why couldn't he hear it.The Qian family is not an ordinary family, he can still tell this.

"What secrets did you two say that everyone can't hear?" Qian Lei raised his eyebrows and asked, very dissatisfied with the intimacy between his younger brother and Wang Wei.

"Oh, what kind of secret can we have? Didn't I ask the third child for advice on how to study? Brother, you said that he is busy with this and that every day, how can he still be the first in the whole department? There must be something that cannot be said Secret! Third child, tell me! Do you have those treasures written in novels that can slow down the flow of time? What is that called? Portable space!" Qian Duo colluded with Wang Wei full of desire for survival, joking , Is my eldest brother someone who can offend?Offend him once, and he will make you uncomfortable for a month!

"That's because Wang Wei is studying when you are playing, and Wang Wei is still studying when you are sleeping." Yang Di said coolly, eating and living with Wang Wei for so many days, how hard Wang Wei worked, no one Clearer than Yang Di.

"Xiao Wei is not in good health right now. You should rest when it's time to rest, so don't tire yourself out." Qian's mother, who was watching the whole process with a smile, reminded Wang Wei at the right time.

"What you said is that I'm just taking a break now." Wang Wei said to Mother Qian, noticing that the plate in front of Mother Qian was empty, reached out to take the knife that Father Qian put next to the plate, and handed over the money Mother cut fruit.

When Mother Qian saw her, she didn't stop her, but she looked at Qian Lei and said with a smile: "Look, none of the young men in this room have the eyesight of Xiao Wei!"

Qian Lei received the cue from his mother, quickly walked around the coffee table, went to sit next to Wang Wei, reached out to take the fruit knife in Wang Wei's hand, and said, "I'll come, you just need to rest."

Although Wang Wei's feet were still sloppy, it was not enough to cut fruit. He didn't want Qian Lei to take over the work, but when the warm body temperature of Qian Lei's palm touched the back of his hand, he subconsciously gave it away.

Wang Wei let go, but Qian Lei didn't have time to hold the knife tightly.The fruit knife fell on the floor like this, making a "pong--" sound.

The atmosphere froze in an instant, and the loneliness on Qian Lei's face was fleeting. Once upon a time, he and Wang Wei were so close that they shared a pair of chopsticks. Now, Wang Wei is unwilling to even touch him.

For more than a dozen seconds, the only sound in the space was the sound of the announcer on the news broadcast.Qian Lei was the first to react. He bent down and picked up the fruit knife from the ground, trying to adjust the atmosphere and said, "It seems that the melon doesn't want me to cut it, haha—hey, I'll go to the kitchen to clean the fruit knife."

Qian Lei got up and walked away from Wang Wei. Wang Wei only felt that the sunken place next to him because of Qian Lei's weight rebounded instantly, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees.Wang Wei stared blankly at the back of the hand that was touched by Qian Lei's body temperature just now. In fact, Qian Lei is not the only one who is lonely...

Mother Qian saw everything in her eyes and let out a long sigh in her heart.As a military wife who has been a military wife for nearly 40 years, no one understands the difficulties of being a military partner better than Mother Qian.In the early years when Father Qian was stationed at the border, he did the most dangerous job. Mother Qian always thought that this was all, but she did not expect an unexpected retaliation. In that accident, Mother Qian lost her leg forever.Since then, Qian's mother has been living in the compound of the military area, living in seclusion and rarely going out.

When Qian's mother had an accident, Qian Lei was already 14 years old, and Qian Duo was already born. The sharpest years of his life had already passed. Even if he was cut off from the wonderful outside world, he only got used to it after a few years of adaptation.But Wang Wei is only 19 years old, and he has not come out of the ivory tower of the school to truly embrace this wonderful world, and this kind of thing happened. It is no wonder that he has resistance to Qian Lei.

In fact, regarding Qian Lei's resignation from the police station, Qian's mother supported her son.The reason is that, as a mother, she always hopes that her son will be safe and successful, and that Qian’s mother is always willing to get rid of the industry that is always in danger; It is not too late in the life of Qian Lei, and the family background of the Qian family is not bad, which can withstand Qian Lei's toss; thirdly, Qian's mother is also afraid that Qian Lei will have a shadow in her heart after experiencing this incident, and she will inevitably look forward and backward at work, fearing that she will be born again. It's not right; fourthly, if he resigns at this point, it will be worthwhile for his son to reap a lifetime of happiness.

Thinking of this in her heart, Mother Qian secretly thought that the children would leave at night, so she should have a good talk with Father Qian about Qian Lei's resignation.

On the other hand, Qian Lei went into the kitchen to clean the fruit knife, but when he came out, the thing in his hand was replaced by two plates.

"Dumplings are ready, let's eat!" Qian Lei shouted to everyone on the sofa.

After finishing speaking, Qian Lei picked 3 dumplings from the plate and put them into a small bowl, enshrined them on the altar just north of the living room, put chopsticks on them, and lit three sticks of incense.

There are neither gods and Buddhas nor anyone's spiritual seat on the altar, only two pots of flowers are placed empty, Wang Wei glanced at it in surprise.

Qian Duo, who was walking beside him, noticed Wang Wei's gaze and said, "This is to honor father's comrades-in-arms who passed away."

Dumplings have a special place in the hearts of Chinese people.During the holidays, I always eat dumplings.Therefore, even if it is not a festival, eating dumplings has formed a unique sense of ritual in the minds of Chinese people.For example, Wang Wei's grandma always likes to hold the dumplings and bow in four directions when eating dumplings, saying "eat them all".When the Qian family ate dumplings, they would enshrine the heroic souls of Qian's father and comrade-in-arms, which made Wang Wei more agree with the Qian family's family tradition.

Nostalgia is another manifestation of not forgetting the original intention.
