Chapter 5
Chapter 5
The liveliest thing in the courtyard is Xu Meiyun, who always cooks a big table and invites Lin Jing and the others to eat together.This year there are more Shao Qing and Xia Tian.
Shao Qing was never so let go, but Xu Meiyun insisted that their mother and son come together, but Shao Qing couldn't resist her enthusiasm and went anyway.There is nothing good at home that can be given away. Fortunately, when Xia Tian's father came back last time, he brought Xia Tian a few boxes of beautifully packaged biscuits. It was a chocolate sandwich biscuit that was extremely difficult to buy at that time, an authentic American product.Shao Qing was worried that if she ate too much in summer, it would cause tooth decay, so she kept it and didn't dare to give it to him, and now she just gave it away.
When Shao Qing led Xia Tian up, Lin Jing and the others had already come up, several fried dishes had already been placed on the table, and Lin Jing was helping Xu Meiyun in the kitchen.Shao Qing asked Xia Tian to bring the biscuits to Guangxi, and after she greeted Sheng Minghui, she also entered the kitchen.
"Sister Meiyun, I'm here to help."
"Shao Qing is here. There is no room for so many people in the kitchen, Lin Jing's help is enough. There are two leftover dishes that will be fried soon. Go outside and watch TV." Xu Meiyun's knife skills are excellent, even with While Shao Qing was talking, the knife in her hand was still rattling non-stop.A few carrots were quickly sliced under her knife, and soon turned into even filaments.
"Let me set the table and chopsticks, are there any guests coming?"
"That's okay, no one wants to come, just have a light meal by yourself."
It was the first time that Shao Qing had such a good relationship with her neighbors, and she was a little apprehensive when she said it.In the past, she only heard that "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor". Since she moved to the plane tree compound, she has completely believed in this old saying.
According to Guangxi's later memories, the day of his childhood with the strongest sense of happiness was his birthday, which is even more exciting than the New Year.Because only this day Xu Meiyun will change from a stepmother to a real mother. She doesn't pull her ears, doesn't know how to kneel on the washboard, has his favorite chicken legs, and pocket money. It's like living in heaven.
Later, Guangxi and his mother talked about how they felt back then. Xu Meiyun, who was reading the newspaper, just took off her presbyopic glasses and wiped them off, saying that if I was really your stepmother, I would have drowned you in the river just because of what you did. You have died thousands of times, and you still feed the food you wasted for so many years.
"I don't doubt it now, it's definitely my real son, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do those things." Guangxi smiled mischievously.
"You still rely on me?!"
"No, I want to thank you." Guangxi took the newspaper from Xu Meiyun's hand and spread it out in his palm.
"Mom, let me read to you."
This time Xu Meiyun didn't insist anymore, she lay on the wicker chair with her eyes closed, her gold-rimmed presbyopic glasses hanging on her chest.The winter sun poured in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Guangxi leaned on her knees and read the newspaper delivered this morning softly.At that moment, Xu Meiyun's inner peace and happiness finally healed all kinds of pain and trauma over the years.She was finally glad that she didn't make a wrong choice back then, and compared to losing her beloved son, she felt it was worthwhile to make any concessions.
Maybe it's because there is more Shao Qing on the dinner table this year, Guangxi is not as complacent as in previous years.I can't explain why, but he always has an unnatural fear of Shao Qing, even if Shao Qing talks to him with a smile, Guangxi will unconsciously answer with full energy.He never dared to be too presumptuous in front of Shao Qing, and always felt that if she got angry, it would be very, very scary.
Gu Yue spends her birthday with Guangxi almost every year, unlike Xia Tian's rigidity, she is very open in front of Guangxi's family.After dinner, Shao Qing insisted on helping Xu Meiyun wash the dishes, but she couldn't hold her back, so Xu Meiyun had to ask her to help too.Lin Jing washed and cut the fruits she brought and brought them out. Everyone sat around the sofa and chatted while watching TV.
The big windmill was playing on TV. When the ending song played, Gu Yue suddenly jumped off the sofa and pointed to the TV and said, I can dance this dance. The teacher taught us to dance on June [-].
"Let's dance again every month, as a birthday present for brother Guangxi." Lin Jing has always encouraged her daughter to be bold.
"it is good."
The big windmill whirled and squeaked,
The scenery here is so beautiful.
The sky is beautiful, the earth is beautiful,
And happy friends.
......
Gu Yue sang along to the theme song of the big windmill on TV and jumped up, while Lin Jing kept time for her.On a cold night in winter, it makes people feel warmer because of such a warm picture.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too warm, or maybe it was because the dance made her emotional, after the song ended, Gu Yue suddenly ran towards Guangxi, hugged his face and kissed him.
"Brother Guangxi, I will marry you as my wife in the future!"
Guangxi's face turned red with a brush.Lin Jing was extremely embarrassed, and immediately stopped Gu Yue.
"Yueyue, shut up now. You know what a wife is at a young age, so don't be ashamed."
"I just want to marry Brother Guangxi as my wife." Gu Yue pouted unhappily.
(2) Children's play, children's play, children's words are not taboo ([-])
Just when Lin Jing was feeling extremely embarrassed, Xu Meiyun burst out laughing to ease the atmosphere.Injury
"Okay, if Yueyue wants to be Guangxi's wife, then we will do it, but we can't become Guangxi's wife until Yueyue grows up."
"Well, I will grow up soon." Gu Yue said firmly.
Xia Tian didn't see it right, Yueyue was Guangxi's wife, so Guangxi would only take Yueyue and not him to play with him in the future.
"I want it too, I want to be Guang Xige's wife too."
"Tian Tian, why are you messing around!" Shao Qing didn't know what was wrong with this child, and she obviously wouldn't talk so much at ordinary times.
"I want to be Brother Guangxi's wife too, otherwise Brother Guangxi won't take me to play together." Xia Tian looked at his mother aggrievedly and complained.
"How can you be Brother Guang Xi's wife!" Gu Yue immediately retorted him.
"Why can't I if you can?"
"Because you are a boy and I am a girl. Only girls can be wives!"
"I don't care, I just want to be Guangxi's wife." Xia Tian didn't understand why boys couldn't be Guangxi's wife, but he felt that what Yueyue said was right, so he cried aggrievedly.While weeping, I was still thinking, I just want to be Guangxi's wife.
Yueyue also cried when she saw that he was going to steal all Xige from her.
"You are not allowed to be Brother Guangxi's wife, Brother Guangxi can only marry me as his wife. Woooooo..."
The adults in the room were dumbfounded by these two brats, and Lin Jing and Shao Qing were even more embarrassed.Xu Meiyun thought it was funny, she didn't expect her brat to be so popular.
The two of them cried more and more fiercely, like a competition, the louder you cried, the louder he cried.Lin Jing and Shao Qing's coaxing was useless, and they couldn't beat the child in front of Xu Meiyun, it was really embarrassing to death.In the end, it was Guangxi who took care of the two of them.
"I hate crybaby the most. If any of you want to cry again, I won't marry him as my wife."
These words had an immediate effect like an imperial decree, Xia Tian and Gu Yue sniffed hard, even though they were still sniffling and the tears in their eyes hadn't dried up, they really didn't cry anymore.The adults were amazed once again, and it was the first time for Xu Meiyun to see that her family's brat had such a deterrent power.
"Mom, I want to sleep at Aunt Xu's house today."
"No, you have to go to school tomorrow, and there is no place for you to sleep at Aunt Xu's house." Lin Jing has become serious, Gu Yue is usually quite obedient, what happened today.
"I want to sleep at Aunt Xu's house too, and I'll sleep with brother Guangxi." Xia Tian seemed to be in conflict with Gu Yue, no matter what he said, he couldn't let Gu Yue occupy Guangxi alone.
"Tiantian, if you do this again, mother will be angry!"
In fact, Xia Tian is most afraid that Shao Qing will get angry, but he really wants to sleep at Guangxi's house.He looked at Guangxi pitifully, saw that he didn't respond, and looked at Xu Meiyun pitifully.
"Forget it. If they want to sleep with Guangxi, let the three of them sleep together. Anyway, there are enough quilts at home. I will ask them to get up on time tomorrow morning so they won't be late." After all, they are still children, so Xu Meiyun just When they are innocent.
Seeing that Xia Tian and Gu Yue are determined to stay at Guangxi's house to sleep, anyway, today is also Guangxi's birthday, so it's always bad to make a fuss.Shao Qing and Lin Jing had no choice but to give up in the end, and after telling them not to make trouble for Aunt Xu, they all went downstairs and went home.
Gu Yue refused to talk to Xia Tian until she went to bed, she thought Xia Tian was an idiot, how could a man be Guang Xi's wife?It was not until a long time later that she realized that the real fool was not Xia Tian, but herself.Sheng Guangxi couldn't see her from the beginning, but she stubbornly thought that she wasn't close enough.
([-]) The most special existence
After Guangxi's birthday, the sky became colder and colder.The cicadas in the courtyard were all gone without knowing when, and the quiet courtyard seemed deserted.The leaves of the metasequoia trees on the roadside have also fallen off, and the bare trunks are left to be destroyed by the howling north wind.In the early morning, a thin layer of ice froze in some small puddles in the potholes on the road, and the children on the way to school naughtyly stepped on them with their feet.Hearing the creaking sound under his feet, like brittle glass breaking, he laughed heartily.
Shao Qing was always afraid of freezing in summer, so she wrapped him like a heavy bear bag every day before letting him go out.He had short legs, so he walked more slowly.
"Brother Guangxi, wait for me." Guangxi has long legs
