There are no people in the small theater today, and in order to save electricity, half of the basic lights are turned on the roof of the shed.

Sitting in the first row of the small theater, and then the dim lights, Li Shixin was stunned when he saw Liu Shumei coming in at the door.

"Hey, Sister Liu, didn't it say in WeChat just now that the children came back for the New Year, but didn't they come?"

Seeing Li Shixin, Liu Shumei was obviously surprised: "Shixin, why haven't you gone home for dinner yet? It's almost twelve o'clock." ”

Li Shixin hurriedly got up and greeted him, and with a high sigh, he briefly mentioned the visit of Zhang Shuo's mother and stepfather.

Liu Shumei is not much younger than Li Shixin.

When you are older, you may not have enough brains, but after surviving for so many years, you can understand the sophistication of the world.

Hearing Li Shixin's simple mention, Liu Shumei sighed: "Shixin, it's hard for you." If you don't raise your own children, you can't count on your godchildren when the time comes. I said that Xiaoshuo's mother is here, do you want to go to our house at noon? You see, I don't have to come over. ”

Saying this, Liu Shumei lifted the two big lunch boxes in her hand.

Seeing that Liu Shumei arrived at the meal, but came over with the food, Li Shixin was even more strange: "Sister Liu, what are you doing here?"

"Hey," Liu Shumei shook her head helplessly in the face of the inquiry, "Aren't the three children out of town, it's easy to come back once." I thought about having a good meal at noon, made a big table of dishes, and waited for them to get home. As a result, the person came back to the Rong store, and a lot of messy supplements were put at the door of the house, and they left without even entering the door. The class reunion of the class reunion, the reunion of the friends of the friend reunion, none of them ate at home. A big table of dishes, you say...... How can I eat it myself. ”

Lifting the lunch box in her hand again, Liu Shumei smiled with red eyes: "I don't want to think about the big man and the family, I don't know how to live the new year." I didn't have much fun at home, so I came over. ”

After listening to Liu Shumei, Li Shixin was dumbfounded.

Seeing Liu Shumei's loneliness at this time, he couldn't help but smash his mouth, standing in front of the window just now and feeling the sadness in the reunion of ten thousand families, it flowed through his whole body again.

He didn't say anything to convince him.

After such a long experience of being an old man, he knows deeply that when people are old, the biggest enemy is not physical aging, but psychological fragility.

That's why he worked hard to maintain a supportive heart and not let himself be assimilated by the thinking of the elderly.

A person has lived for decades, and by the end of his life, most of them are actually ready to die.

Compared with the end of death, social identity and one's own sense of existence are reduced, and they are often more cruel.

Sometimes what is worse than death is that you are no longer needed.

After looking at the two oversized lunch boxes in Liu Shumei's hands, Li Shixin was happy: "Lao Liu, you said you would deliver food earlier! Shuo'er is here, and I have nowhere to go." Where there was no room for noon, I still thought that I would have to eat at a restaurant for the New Year. I knew that you would deliver food and food, so I wouldn't let the big man buy it. How can you make it out there as delicious as you make it at home? Alas, do you have dumplings?"

When Li Shixin said this, a little joy appeared on Liu Shumei's face, "Yes! It's the New Year, how can you not make dumplings! The oil and noodles mixed with sauerkraut filling, my children have loved to eat this flavor since they were young! Quick, you can taste it!"

Watching Liu Shumei open the lunch box as if offering a treasure, picked a dumpling like an ingots with chopsticks and handed it to his mouth, Li Shixin ate it in one bite.

Li Shixin once stayed in the north for a while, and he also ate dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut. But I have to say that Liu Shumei's sauerkraut stuffed dumplings are really special.

The general sauerkraut filling is chopped sauerkraut, and then served with pork belly and dumpling filling. The one in the mouth is made of pure fatty meat, fried and dried, and then chopped into minced pieces. The fat and oil are fried and crispy, fragrant and not greasy, and have a unique flavor.

When you say it's delicious, it's not necessarily better than what you've eaten.

But it's like every family is different, and this is called family flavor.

A special taste of home.

"Is it delicious?"

Looking at Li Shixin's gobbling up, Liu Shumei asked like a child waiting for the teacher's praise.

"Hmm!" Li Shixin nodded heavily, "Bring me another one." ”

Seeing his anxious look, Liu Shumei was happy: "It's all for you! Let's go and go to the back room." ”

......

In the small room backstage of the theater, Li Shixin took Liu Shumei and the big man and others to have a happy New Year's dinner.

The addition of Liu Shumei and those home-cooked dishes added a lot of New Year's flavor to the noon of this small year in the small theater.

And Li Shixin and the big man swept away the dishes in the two big lunch boxes, which also made the old man Liu Shumei extremely happy. One vigorously said that he would do more on the day of the thirtieth day, and he would definitely send it over.

After eating, Li Shixin watched Liu Shumei grab the dishes and chopsticks to scrub and smack his lips.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Since he traveled to this time and space, he himself has become accustomed to dealing with the world from the perspective of an isolated person. After a small year, he tossed a few times to make himself happy, and he didn't feel anything.

But seeing that Liu Shumei obviously has her children by her side, she regarded the theater as her home when she was young, and she felt extremely desolate.

Taking advantage of Liu Shumei's efforts to clean up, Li Shixin silently opened the fan WeChat group and sent a message to the past.

After explaining Liu Shumei's situation roughly, he added, "Is there anyone who can come over to be a companion in the afternoon?"

didn't think about it, this WeChat was sent out, and the group exploded all of a sudden;

"Go! I thought it was just my little cubs, and it turned out that Sister Liu was too. A group of bastards haven't been home for a year, and after the New Year, the people are back, and the souls are outside!"

"We are similar to Sister Liu, a little stronger than the children in Sister Liu's family, not much stronger. After eating, they began to shake their mobile phones one by one. I didn't say a few words, I yelled that I was bored at home and wanted to go out to party. I'm so angry with my mother!"

"Alas, our family has already left, and I still think that there is no one to go to the small theater for the New Year, and I didn't think that the big guys are like this. Wait for me, I'll clean up and go over immediately. ”

Seeing that the group suddenly became an old fan complaining meeting, Li Shixin grinned.

......

After a short while, some of the children went out and became actually lonely old people during the Chinese New Year. Or the children focus on contacting friends to play with mobile phones, and the old fans who have become mentally lonely and widowed old people have come to the small theater one after another.

Originally, they usually played together, but now they are sympathetic to each other, and they talked about the situation at home one by one.

Speaking of which, in fact, it didn't say anything sweet and sour.

In the end, in the end, it was Liu Shumei who took her best friend Sister Zhang's hand and sighed, and came to a conclusion;

"You say, 'This child is lonely when he is not around, and this child is lonely when he comes back. Is this how people should be when they get old?"

"Lao Liu, don't think so. Isn't there still us? The children are all grown up, and they have their own circles, so let's play our own! With Shixin, haven't we had a good time in the past six months? Don't we feel very lonely? Right?"

If these little rabbits don't come back, the old lady will think that the past six months have been very good. They're back, but it's a bad thing! Tell them tomorrow and let them all get out! The old lady is living a good life by herself, don't come back if it's okay to be in a bad mood!"

On the side, Li Shixin watched a group of old fans wiping their tears and saying cruel words, obviously with a look of relatives on their faces, and a dead duck with a hard mouth and a happy grin.

He had been thinking about the idea for a long time just now, and he couldn't hold it back now.

"Ahem, old ladies. ”

As he cleared his throat, the crowd turned their eyes to him.

"Shixin, what's wrong?"

"Otherwise......" Seeing a group of old fans winking at him, Li Shixin burst out laughing: "Otherwise, I'll teach you to take care of your children!"

Looking at the widening eyes of a group of old fans, Li Shixin smiled.

I've been spoiled by you for half a year, and today, Xinye will use his own strength to pet a fan!
