“...... Okay, Boss, you can rest. You paid us to come and work, and you did a lot of it yourself. ”

“...... The tables and stools are all set up, the tablecloths are all laid out, and you must not follow me to grab this cook's work of chopping and washing vegetables. ”

In the courtyard, tables and chairs were placed, and a few helpers and cooks were busy cleaning the dishes they brought, and the leading cook tied his apron again, turned around and said to the middle-aged man with a smile,

“...... That's fine. At this time, my mother should also take the medicine, so I went to take care of her first. If you have any help or need, just shout. ”

The middle-aged man also smiled on his face, nodded, looked at the sky again, and said something out loud.

“...... Always busy your own business. If you have anything to ask for, don't worry, we will definitely not be polite to you. ”

Laughing, and answering again, the cook turned around and got busy again,

The middle-aged man smiled, nodded again, turned around and walked back towards the hidden door.

......

“...... Xiaoshan, what, do you want to go out and play?"

The middle-aged man pushed open the door of the empty hall, and behind the door, the boy who had run into the bedroom stood at the door of the hall again, silent, burying his head,

The middle-aged man looked at the boy and stood up again, before he smiled and said.

“...... Then go for it. Don't run around. ”

Stretching out his hand, the middle-aged man put his hand on the boy's shoulder, rubbed the boy's shoulder, smiled and said again,

“...... It's a little cold out there? Don't catch a cold...... Dad will wait a while, and then get you a piece of clothing to put on, don't you get a bad cold in a while, you kid can't do it without medicine. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Straighten the boy's clothes again?"

When the boy heard this, he first looked at his father, then at the courtyard, and then at the courtyard, and then buried his head again, and walked towards Lian Ge's side.

The middle-aged man stood where he was, smiled and looked at it again, then turned around and re-entered the room, and closed the door of the room.

Immediately after that, there was another sound of rustling in the room.

......

The little boy slowly moved his feet and walked not far to Lian Ge.

looked at Lian Ge again, buried his head again, was silent, not far from Lian Ge, and sat down,

Glancing at the room, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at the boy next to him.

The boy remained silent, but from time to time he raised his head and looked into the open hall, and then lowered his head.

“...... Xiaoshan, what about your father. ”

At this time, along the village road, several old people each carried some wine and some firecrackers and walked into the yard.

looked at Lian Ge, turned his gaze again, saw the boy, smiled at the boy and asked,

When the boy heard this, he raised his head, looked at the men, and then buried his head again, silent.

“...... Xiaoshan, what's wrong with today, I'm sick, Grandma Liu touches ......"

Seeing the boy's appearance, one of the old ladies was a little concerned, put down the wine in her hand, and reached out to touch the boy's forehead.

The boy was still with his head bowed, silent.

“...... Aunt Xu, Aunt Liu, Uncle Wu......"

At this time, the middle-aged man seemed to hear the movement outside the house, and then walked out of the hall, with a smile on his face, beckoned a few old people, and walked over.

“...... Why did you come here so early?"

“...... There's nothing to do this afternoon anyway, so I'll make an appointment with these old guys to come over first, and by the way, let's see if there's anyone you need help with, and we can help...... Come, if you say you won't give you a red envelope, we won't give you the red envelope, and you can take this bit of wine and firecrackers. ”

"Aunt Xu, just come over and play, how can I still let you help. Besides, if you don't talk about it, you can just come over, just accompany my mother to be lively, why don't you bring anything here. ”

“...... You can't let us old guys bring it back, and it's your business to say that you don't take it or not, we're going to the door, what are you talking about empty-handed...... By the way, what about your old lady, in the house?"

“...... In the house, I'm going to take my mom out, and she's going to be happy to see you coming. ”

The middle-aged man reached out and took the wine and firecrackers in the hands of several old men, and responded.

“...... Eh......"

When the old men heard this, they looked into the room and sighed, but they didn't say anything.

“...... Then Aunt Xu, Uncle Wu, you sit first. ”

Greeting again, the middle-aged man carried wine and firecrackers, and walked towards the side of the yard again.

The drinks, firecrackers, and firecrackers were placed against the wall on the steps under the eaves, and the middle-aged man walked into the hall again.

Several old men looked into the room, shook their heads, each found a place, and sat down first.

......

“...... Aunt Xu......"

Soon, the middle-aged man pulled open the door of the hidden hall from the inside,

Pushing a wheelchair, an old lady sat in the wheelchair, and then walked out of the house,

Seeing this, several old men stood up one after another and followed closely to meet them.

Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at the old lady.

The old lady was slumped in a wheelchair, covered with a blanket, her head hung limply, leaning on the back of the wheelchair chair.

The gray hair is already neatly combed, peeking out from under the blanket, and the upper body is wearing a red cotton jacket with flowers is also very clean, and the buttons are neatly buttoned.

It's just that the bottom of the eyes is a little cloudy, and the eyes look a little muddy, just stunned, looking at one place,

His lips trembled slightly, and his two hands on the side of the wheelchair trembled.

“...... Mrs. Cheng, do you remember a few of us old guys?"

An old lady among the elderly approached the wheelchair and shouted at the old lady who was paralyzed in the wheelchair.

“...... Mom, Aunt Xu, Aunt Liu, they've come to see you......"

The middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair lowered his body and leaned into the old lady's ear and spoke.

As if hearing the words of the middle-aged man and the old men, the old lady turned her head slowly,

It's just that he was still stunned, looking at the old people in front of him, and didn't say a word, just his lips trembled.

“...... I'm sorry, my mom ...... She must be happy to see you, it's ......"

The middle-aged man showed some apologies on his face, and said to a few old people,

“...... It's okay, it's okay, it's all a village, and we know what your mother's situation is......"

Aunt Xu waved her hand, said something to the middle-aged man, and then lowered her head to look at the old lady in the wheelchair, and said with a smile,

“...... Mrs. Cheng, today you are 70 years old. Your son is filial and gives you a big birthday, and a few of us also come over to celebrate your birthday, I wish you a year today, a year and a day......"

Listening to Aunt Xu's words, the middle-aged man smiled, looked at Aunt Xu, and then looked at the old lady who was paralyzed in a wheelchair,

“...... Mom, Aunt Xu is celebrating your birthday. ”

Laughing, the middle-aged man said loudly at the old lady.

And the old man, I don't know which sentence he heard, seemed to want to say something, his hands and lips trembled more and more, stunned, and looked in front of him.

“...... My mom wants to say thank you. ”

The middle-aged man raised his head, smiled on his face, and said to a few old men,

“...... It's okay, it's okay...... You're welcome, Mrs. Cheng's ......"

......

Glancing at that place, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, turned his gaze, and glanced at the boy not far away.

At this time, the boy raised his head, straight and straight, looking at the side of the men.
