After staying in the town for another two days, Shi Jing and Si Qi drove back to Anqing, and they couldn't use the number that Meng Shiyun left for Si Qi, but the uncle took the initiative to call and ask, and he was extremely concerned about Shi Jing between his words, out of politeness and gratitude, they personally went to the uncle's house to inform him of the ins and outs of the matter, and it could be regarded as an explanation to all the relatives of the Shi family and the Meng family, after all, many relatives of the two families were involved in that year.

It was not until the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month that they returned to Changsha.

The car stopped at the door of the villa, Si Qi stood aside with his arms crossed, watching Shi Jing keep moving things out of the trunk, these were all kinds of specialties they brought back from that town, eating, drinking, and wearing, as well as the bacon and sausages made by the uncle's family, and the trunk was almost stuffed.

"Daddy, Mommy, you're finally back. Si Xiaojun stretched out his arms from afar, pounced directly on Shi Jing, firmly clinging to his thighs, shaking and coquettishly: "Dad, in the past few days when you are away, I miss you, I sleep with you in my dreams at night, and grandma said that I called my father in my dreams." ”

Shi Junhan and Meng Shiyun also came over to help move things.

Si Xiaojun turned to hug his hometown and said with a smile: "Mommy, do you miss me?

Si Qi smiled and twisted his cheeks, and praised: "Well, Mommy listened to what Grandma said on the phone, you are very well-behaved, very worthy of praise, you have grown so big, it is the first time you have been separated from Mommy for so long, it seems that my son has really grown up." ”

"That's nature. Si Xiaojun immediately patted his chest and said vividly: "I'm a man now, grandpa said that a man should be strong, so that when he grows up, he can go to a far away place to go to college." He hugged Si Jun's neck and said excitedly: "Mommy, I have decided, when I grow up, I want to learn to build a house with my grandfather, you don't know, there are many, many models of beautiful houses in grandpa's study, grandpa is really amazing." ”

After finishing moving things, Meng Shiyun happily took Si Xiaojun, pulled Si Qi inside, and said as she walked: "This time I really worked hard for you." ”

"It's fine, it's not hard at all. Si Qi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold Si Xiaojun, so she wanted her son to go by herself, but Meng Shiyun was reluctant to let go at all.

It's lunch time, Shi Jing went straight back to the room to change clothes, and prepared lunch in the kitchen alone, Shi Junhan stood at the door and probed his brain for a long time, and found that this son moved neatly, and there was no chance for him to interfere, so he had to go back to the living room to drink tea with his hands behind his back.

"Mom and Dad, you guys rest first, and I'll help Shi Jing. Si Qi held down Meng Shiyun's action of wanting to get up together, and said very seriously: "This is the first time Shi Jing has gone home in more than ten years, let's prepare lunch!"

When Meng Shiyun heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, Si Qi called them as soon as he learned the ins and outs of the matter, although it has been eighteen years, but for the Shi family, this matter has never passed, but it was brutally pressed in the deepest part of the heart, usually no one dares to touch it, the old wound has long been rotten and sore, only a thin layer of flesh remains, and it will break when poked.

They didn't dare to touch, they didn't even dare to think about it, for fear that the powerful resentment would also make this layer of flesh and skin reveal the flesh and blood, expose the last trace of vitality to the air, and then disperse with the wind.

Now, the son who was eroded by the darkness not only broke the shackles, but even chose to lift the layer of flesh with his own hands, revealing the hideous truth of those past events that had been covered up by the years.

In fact, not only Shi Jing is being reborn, but also for them. No one could understand the excitement and complexity of their time when they received that phone call, eighteen years later, the truth came too late, but it still came.

The lunch was prepared by Shi Jing himself, and Si Qi didn't even come in handy, so he had to hold a plate of fruit and act as a temporary supervisor, waiting for the food to come out of the pot, and bring the dishes to the table in turn.

Although it was just an ordinary lunch, it was of great significance to the Shi family, Shi Junhan, who was ordered to quit drinking because of stomach bleeding a few years ago, couldn't help but take out a bottle of Moutai that he treasured, Meng Shiyun, who usually didn't let him dip half a drop of wine, did not stop him this time, but took out the hidden wine glass Xian clean, and even Si Xiaojun got a small glass of Coke instead of liquor, and sat on the table excitedly waiting for the meal.

Nine dishes and one soup, all of which are Changsha's specialties, Si Qi has been mixed with Wang Jing all the year round, and he can be regarded as a person who is not spicy or happy, even Si Xiaojun is very spicy, in the face of this table full of red, green, and green, she has a great appetite.

When they all went to the dinner table, the talented Si Xiaojun immediately acted as the master of ceremonies at the dinner table, picked up the Coke, and said in a milky voice: "First of all, we have to welcome Mommy and Dad home, our family can finally eat together, and second, Grandpa said that today's lunch is of great significance to our whole family, so we have to eat more, and we can't waste the food that Dad carefully cooks." ”

The originally heavy and sad atmosphere was broken up by Si Xiaojun in a few words, and under his hard shouting, everyone raised their wine glasses and touched them lightly.

Si Qi has been paying close attention to Shi Jing, although his face is still a little pale, but his eyes are no longer as uncertain as usual, and he is slightly relieved in his heart, and he took the initiative to get up and serve a bowl of soup to Shi Junhan and Meng Shiyun, and said with a smile: "Shi Jing's cooking skills are very good, no worse than the chef of a five-star hotel, we rarely come back once, in the next few days, it is better to leave the kitchen to us for the time being, in fact, my cooking is also delicious." ”

Meng Shiyun looked at Shi Jing with joy, excitement and excitement had not yet faded from her face, and she said in a row: "How can it be done, you rarely come back, how can you let you cook every day." ”

"It's okay, Mom, let me do it!" Shi Jing got up and gave Meng Shiyun a piece of meat, and whispered, "I like to cook." ”

Meng Shiyun opened her mouth and stared at the meat in the bowl in a daze.

Seeing this, Si Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, he likes to cook very much, this kind of simple labor actually helps him a lot, this time we came back for a long time, and it just happened to give him something to do." ”

Shi Junhan patted Meng Shiyun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My son's heart, don't push it, it just so happens that Xiaojun is at home, let's hurry up and spend more time with our grandson, otherwise when they return to Jincheng, they won't be able to see it." ”

"How can you not see it?" Si Xiaojun took over the conversation, "Grandparents, you can go back to Jincheng with us, Dad's house is very big, our family can definitely live, in this way, you don't have to think about Xiaojun and can't sleep, you can see Dad and Mommy every day, if Mommy and Dad go out on a date in the future, I won't have no one to accompany me, and I also want to live with my grandparents." ”

Si Qi: "......"

She looked at Si Xiaojun embarrassedly, looked at him almost desperately, and asked, "When will I go out on a date and not accompany you?"

Si Xiaojun replied seriously: "Teacher Wang said that when Dad and Mommy are dating, we children can't disturb us. ”

Meng Shiyun saw that Si Qi's face was full of embarrassment, although she also felt funny, but she was embarrassed to laugh, so she hurriedly used the excuse to cover up the conversation.

Si Xiaojuncai didn't care about his unintentional embarrassment, and he couldn't take care of his mother, he still stared at Meng Shiyun coquettishly: "Okay, grandma, you can live with us, so that grandpa can teach me to draw every day, I want to learn to build a house with grandpa." ”

Meng Shiyun and Shi Junhan glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say for a while, in all fairness, they naturally wanted to stay with Shi Jing all the time, but Shi Jing's situation was different after all, and they didn't dare to make trouble for Shi Jing rashly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shi Jing suddenly raised his eyes to look at them, thought for a while, and said, "I don't mind living with a family." As soon as he realized something, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Si Qi.

Si Qi had already taken the lead in laughing and said: "I heard my mother say when I was a child, if there is an old family and a treasure, if my parents are willing to go to Jincheng to live with us, it would be great, and the family should live together, my parents are old and live in our hometown for a long time, and we are not at ease." ”

"That's right!" Si Xiaojun also quickly interjected: "Besides, if I have a little sister in the future, my parents will definitely care about my little sister." ”

Si Qi: "......"

She was so busy that she was about to reach out to cover Si Xiaojun's mouth, and said with a red face, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Si Xiaojun slipped away, got into Shi Jing's arms, grimaced at her, and said with a smile: "Dad has agreed, he will give me a little sister, Mommy, don't regret it, adults don't talk nonsense, and they will become ugly in the next life." ”

Shi Jing's face also showed a hint of flushing, and he quickly lowered his head and gave Si Xiaojun a fish ball, "Eat quickly, children can't talk when they eat." ”

Si Xiaojun immediately shut up and quietly nibbled on the fish balls.

Si Qi has never been so embarrassed as now, he almost didn't dare to look up at the faces of Meng Shiyun and Shi Junhan, of course, even if the two old men who had already read Qianfan had already blossomed in their hearts, they would not say anything at this moment, they all pretended not to hear it tacitly, and soon brought the topic to the preparations before the Spring Festival, and the atmosphere was also reconciled very relaxed.

The family happily drank the whole bottle of Moutai, although Si Qi did not drink well, but he drank several glasses with him, and when he finished eating, Shi Jing looked like usual to do the aftermath work, Meng Shiyun pulled Si Qi to the room on the second floor to chat, and Shi Junhan was also pulled by Si Xiaojun to play games.

Shi Jing stood in the empty living room for a long time, and the corners of his mouth slightly smiled.

He suddenly became a little in a trance, and couldn't help but think about the previous years, how did he come over, but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that those details had become blurred, and those seemingly innate darkness, pain, and depression suddenly lost their outline, and he didn't even remember what he was doing today last year?

He seems to have suddenly changed from a poor household with nothing to the richest man in the world, he has obtained happiness that he can't imagine in this life, and deep down, all the hidden darkness is illuminated by light, and since then he has become a new person and has a new life.
