Stepping into the hall, the middle-aged man closed the door again.

In the hall, there was no light, and when the door was closed, it became darker and darker, except for the side of the hall, and the door to the backyard, which shone in some moonlight.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the dark hall,

Leaning on the inside of the hall, there is a dining table, and next to the dining table, there is a middle-aged woman sitting with a smile on her face, looking at her side with a smile.

"It's delicious, then eat more. If you still want to eat, next time, when you come back from school, your mother will make it for you. ”

Laughing, holding chopsticks, putting them in the bowl next to them, the middle-aged woman said.

Behind Lian Ge.

The middle-aged man shook off, as if his body was stained with rain, and then continued to approach the dining table in the hall.

"Yuexia, there is a guest at home. ”

The middle-aged man took two steps and said to the middle-aged woman at the dining table,

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged woman paused with chopsticks before turning around,

seemed to have just noticed Lian Ge, put down his chopsticks, stood up, and had some doubts in his eyes.

"This is ......"

"It's from the village, it's dark, the road is not easy to walk. I want to spend the night at our house. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I thought, doesn't it happen that there is still an empty room in the house, so let this young man stay for one night." ”

"Sorry. ”

Looking at the middle-aged woman, Lian Ge said in a calm tone.

"You're welcome, young man, sit down first. ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she smiled and said to Lian Ge,

"You haven't had dinner yet, so if you don't dislike it, let's sit down and eat some together." I'll clean up your house after you're done in a while. ”

The middle-aged woman greeted and said,

"Thank you. ”

Lian Ge glanced at the woman, waved at the stool next to the dining table, and then sat down,

"You don't have to be so polite, lad. This is out of the house, if you can help a handful, you can do it yourself, young man...... You sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen and get you a pair of chopsticks. ”

Greeting, and with another word, the woman walked towards the kitchen.

Watching the woman walk into the kitchen, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the room again,

Not far away, against the wall, there was the rusty and peeled bicycle from before.

On the side, the middle-aged man, and then the woman entered the kitchen, stood in place and paused, and sat down on the other side of the table.

“...... Huihui, how does it taste? Come on, try this again, your mother, this dish is the best. ”

"Good...... I eat, I eat. ”

Holding chopsticks, picking them up from time to time, and putting them in the bowl next to them, the man said to the side with a smile on his face.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and didn't say much.

......

“...... Come, lad, give ......"

The woman walked back from the backyard and handed a pair of chopsticks to Lian Ge,

"Thank you. ”

After reaching out to take it, Lian Ge thanked him and put the pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table next to him.

"You're welcome, young man......"

The woman smiled and spoke.

He stood still again and paused, followed and sat down in his original position.

“...... Huihui, how does the food taste, if it's not good, Mom will think about it again, and you will taste it next time you come back. ”

The woman smiled and said to her side,

"It's all good, my baby daughter is really good at talking, unlike your father, who eats and picks and chooses. ”

"I'm picky. The middle-aged man took over the conversation, "If you make it so delicious every time, how can I have an opinion......

“...... Okay, or my daughter knows that she feels sorry for me. ”

Laughing, it seemed that he took some dishes from the side, the middle-aged man put it in his mouth, and after eating two bites, he smiled and said to the side,

The woman also smiled, looking at the middle-aged man and the side,

“...... Okay, my mother eats it too, Huihui is really sensible, and she will feel sorry for people...... Mom is not tired, Huihui eats deliciously, and Mom is not tired at all. ”

......

In the dark hall, Lian Ge sitting, listening, watching,

At the dining table, between the middle-aged man and the woman, there is also a stool, and there are also a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table in front of the stool.

The middle-aged man and woman just smiled from time to time and said to that place,

It's just that the stool is empty, and no one is sitting.

......

“...... Huihui, it's been a month since I've been back in the city for school, are you still used to it?"

"If you have a grievance, remember to tell your father that our family is in this poor mountain village, and my father has no ability, but Dad, how can I not let my baby daughter be wronged. ”

At the dining table, the middle-aged man turned his head and said to the empty stool,

"No, it's good if you don't have it...... If there is anything, remember to tell the family, everything has a father, and your mother. ”

The middle-aged man said to the stool with a smile on his face.

“...... Are you homesick? Then you should come back every time you have a holiday, and when you get to town, Dad will pick you up. If you get tired of walking, Dad will carry you on his back and carry you back. ”

“...... Know, know, my baby daughter is old enough to go on her own......"

The man said, and the woman was on the side, with a smile in her eyes,

"Huihui, this month, staying in school, have you encountered anything interesting, tell your mother,"

Answering this, the woman also said to the empty stool,

“...... My daughter is so smart...... Yes, yes, my daughter, she is the smartest. It's not like your dad and me, who have a wooden brain......"

"Okay, Mom doesn't say that, Mom is smart...... Your dad is smart too. That's right, your father and mother used to read less, but now, their brains are wooden. Huihui has to study hard, and when she is admitted to a university in the capital in the future, her father will be happy......"

“...... Okay, my parents don't understand, Huihui understands better than my parents, Huihui thinks it's good to take the exam, so let's get in......"

......

“...... Huihui, outside, you must pay attention to safety, your father and I are far away from you...... Mom and Dad don't expect anything from you, they just think that you can be safe and sound. ”

"Is the money I brought to you last time enough to eat, this time you go again, Mom will give you more ......"

“...... You still have to get along well with your classmates, and remember to talk to your parents if you have anything...... Okay, Mom is not verbose, Huihui is older, smarter than Mom and Dad, so I don't need to tell you this. ”

In the hall, the voices of middle-aged men and women were intertwined and mixed.

On the side, looking at the middle-aged men and women smiling and talking in this dark hall, Lian Ge didn't say much.

The breeze blew through the cracks in the door of the hall and from time to time blew into the house, rolling up a few fallen leaves that had accumulated in the hall.

......

“...... Huihui looks at that car and bicycle, it's good-looking. When you go to school this time, take it with you. I'll take it to town for you, and you can take it to school. ”

"Our family is not rich, but other people's children have it, and what Dad can give you, I still want to give you ......"

“...... Dad knows you can't ride, it's okay, these two days, you're at home, Dad helps you support, you try to ride slowly, and it's going to be slowly. ”

“...... I'd like to try it now...... It's raining outside, and I can't go to the yard. Dad will help you, Huihui you are in this house, try to ride down. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man smiled and stood up and walked over to the rusty bicycle leaning against the wall.

“...... You two are really, you don't eat anymore. The woman said angrily, but she also got up and helped move the stools and miscellaneous items in the room.
