Chapter 219: Meeting Love
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, as long as Yan Kai likes to eat, I'm willing to do it, it's not easy for you kid to come back, so I have to let you eat the dishes made by my aunt a few more times." Auntie smiled for the first time today when she listened to Zheng Yankai's words, so Zheng Yankai was embarrassed to refuse again.
"Okay, but, Auntie, I will come back to see you often in the future, my dad is gone, and I only have you as a relative. ”
Zheng Yankai's words made the aunt stunned, she obviously didn't expect Zheng Yankai to say such a thing, and the tears that disappeared just now seemed to be coming out again.
She patted Zheng Yankai's hand, turned around and went to the kitchen, the emotion in her heart was indescribable, she raised her head in the direction of the sky and said silently in her heart: "Lao Zheng, you have a good son, do you see it, he said that he wants to treat me as a relative, you are not blessed, you left so early." ”
Zheng Yankai was alone in the living room, and there were many people, so Zheng Yankai felt that this living room was so big and so lonely. Zheng Yankai wondered, did his father feel this way when he was here, just he and his aunt guarded such a big house, and there were no children by their side, they must be very lonely sometimes, right? Thinking like this, Zheng Yankai suddenly felt that he was a particularly unfilial son.
Zheng Yankai walked up to his father's portrait, "Dad, now there are only the two of us left, do you always want me to sit opposite you like this and chat with you?" I'm sorry, Dad, I'm late to come back." In fact, I also wanted to come back after all these years outside, but I always felt that it was a bit embarrassing for me to come back before I earned anything, and when you sent me out to study, all you wanted was for me to get ahead, but you didn't wait for that day......"
Zheng Yankai babbled a lot, in fact, Zheng Yankai felt a little nonsense in the end, he didn't know what he was talking about, he just wanted to tell all the things he had done over the years and share them with his father. It seems that he and his father have never been separated, but he has filled the gap in his father's life in the past few years, and where can he go to fill in the disappearance of his father in his life in the past few years?
"Auntie, I'm here, I brought you braised chicken wings, the same one you said you liked last time. Zheng Yankai was talking when he heard the voice of a delicate girl at the door, and quickly wiped away the tears on his face. A man cried into tears, if this spread, he really didn't have to come back to Wutong Town in the future.
"Eh, who are you?" the girl ran in and stopped in the living room, according to the custom of Sycamore Town, there should be no one at this time. The girl looked at Zheng Yankai's back suspiciously, and always felt very familiar.
"Xiaoying is here, I just heard your voice in the kitchen. As soon as the aunt in the back kitchen heard the girl's voice, she hurriedly came out, thinking that Zheng Yankai and the girl had not seen each other for many years, and the two of them were afraid that they would not know each other, so it would be bad not to make some misunderstandings or anything.
"Auntie, I'm here to bring you food. Xiaoying saw her aunt coming out from behind, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Xiaoying, you still have a heart. Auntie was very happy when she saw this girl named Xiaoying, and the sadness on her face just now disappeared a lot, which made Zheng Yankai a little more curious about this girl who suddenly appeared. Auntie originally planned to beckon Zheng Yankai and Xiaoying to go to the back to eat together, but when she turned around, she saw Zheng Yankai with a blank look, and then she remembered that Zheng Yankai and Sheng Shi had not seen each other for many years.
"Yan Kai, I don't remember, this is the Xiao Ying who always played with you when I was a child, Sheng Shi, do you remember? Xiao Ying, our family Yan Kai came back to send Lao Zheng, I remember that when you were a child, you always played together, and the relationship was not bad at that time. ”
After speaking, the aunt turned to Sheng Shi again and said to her: "Yan Kai will finally come this time, Xiaoying, when your uncle's affairs are finished tomorrow, if you are free, take Yan Kai to go around." In her selfish heart, Auntie has a secret, she can't tell it, but she hopes that the relationship between Zheng Yankai and Sheng Shi can be better, but she doesn't want her actions at this time to almost make a big mistake in the future.
"Okay. Sheng Shi didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.
Sheng Shi's simplicity makes Zheng Yankai a little embarrassed, it's not good when he's old, there will always be a little estrangement between men and women, and Zheng Yankai himself is not a cheerful person, "It's a bit too troublesome for you, right?"
"No, I happen to be a tour guide, and this kind of thing couldn't be easier for me. ”
"Thank you in advance. Zheng Yankai really wants to see what this place where he lived when he was a child has become, whether it is more beautiful, or whether it has been polluted by the world.
The aunt saw that the interaction between the two was not bad, and she was a little happier in her heart, and beckoned the two of them to go to dinner. The atmosphere of the dinner was not bad, after eating, Sheng Shi rushed to help wash the dishes, how could the aunt let her do such a thing, drove people away, and let her and Zheng Yankai chat.
When the aunt came out again, I saw these two people who were very restrained just now and had begun to talk and laugh, and sure enough, communication was still necessary.
When the time was almost up, the aunt came out to remind Zheng Yankai that it was time to send Sheng Shi home, and the night's party was over. After sending Sheng Shi to the door, Zheng Yankai and Sheng Shi set a time to go out together and a place to meet the day after tomorrow, and then went home.
Sleeping on a hard bed at night, Zheng Yankai didn't feel uncomfortable, so much so that he felt a sense of being down-to-earth, which was enough for Zheng Yankai. Xu also fell asleep quickly in bed because of the hard work of the previous day, but the next morning he woke up in a rumbling sound, and worked with his aunt at home for a long time, in fact, Zheng Yankai didn't know what the things he prepared were for, and he didn't know what the names of those things were, but he did it when his aunt asked him to do it.
Zheng Yankai is doing things on this side, many neighbors have seen it, and they all say that there is still a boy in this family, who can help with a lot of work, and praise Aunt Zheng and Zheng's father for having a good son, but this Zheng's father is not lucky to leave too early, Zheng Yankai just listened to it on the side, there was no response at all, he didn't want to talk at all now.
When he arrived at the crematorium, Zheng Yankai knew that he would be able to see his father immediately, but at this moment he was so scared, he was afraid of seeing his father who was lying there calmly without breathing.
Afraid or not afraid, things are like that, Zheng Yankai can't escape, when he saw his father lying there alone, Zheng Yankai finally couldn't help but go to a corner and became painful, he wanted to cry loudly but didn't dare, so he had to hold his head there alone, and his head felt dizzy after a while.
Zheng Yankai originally thought that no one knew about all this, but not far away, there was a pair of concerned eyes that kept looking at Zheng Yankai.
Sheng Shi wanted to step forward to comfort Zheng Yankai, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't walk over, Sheng Shi thought, no one wants to be seen by others as having such a worthless appearance, especially a man, what he cares about most is face.
After Zheng Yankai cried enough, he returned to the crowd and finished his father's funeral with his aunt, and Zheng Yankai did not shed a single tear in the subsequent process, he knew that his father did not want to see himself like this, he wanted to be a man who stood up to the sky.
A busy day has passed, and this day is also a day that Zheng Yankai has never forgotten in his life, he calmly sent away his father, his last relative in the world.
However, at the appointed time the next day, Zheng Yankai still cheered up and went to the place where Sheng Shi told him, which was a small travel agency, which was opened by Sheng Shi and his friends Mo Qingyou and Cao Tingting.
As soon as Zheng Yankai walked in, a girl greeted her, and the girl's body had a very good smell of flowers, which was different from the pungent perfume, and the fragrance on the girl's body made people feel very comfortable.
"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The girl smiled very sweetly, the clothes on her body were very simple T-shirts and jeans, which looked very clean, especially the smile, which made Zheng Yankai feel that something hit his heart in an instant, and after that, Zheng Yankai understood that it was an arrow, an arrow with the poison of love, and it had hit him before he was caught off guard.
"I'm looking for Sheng Shi, is she there?" Afterwards, Zheng Yankai recalled his appearance at the time, and he must have been stupid. However, Mo Qingyou at that time thought this person was so cute.
"Yes, you wait a minute. "It turned out that he was not a customer, Mo Qingyou was a little disappointed, but looking at the man in front of him, he looked good, maybe he was the other half of the future of Shengshi, so it was better not to be a customer.
Mo Qingyou ran a few steps inside, and then shouted: "Shengshi, come out to pick up guests." ”
After Mo Qingyou finished shouting, he smiled slyly at Zheng Yankai, like a little fox who had just eaten, which made Zheng Yankai's heart hit again.
Cao Tingting was settling accounts on the side, shaking her head, knowing that someone would be dissatisfied for a while, this Mo Qingyou is also yes, she is always so funny, the same trick has been played so many times, and she doesn't even feel annoyed.
After a while, I heard the voice of Sheng Shi from the back room, "Mo Qingyou, you are going to die, how many times have I told you, we are running a travel agency and not a brothel, nor are we ancient people, why do you have to shout to pick up customers, can't you say that you are a guest? And I have already made an appointment today." ”
"It's a handsome guy who came to name you, are you really sure you don't want to come out?" Mo Qingyou deliberately deepened the tone of the handsome guy.
"Don't, wait. The first two words have not yet landed, Sheng Shi said the last two words, except for Zheng Yankai, no one can arouse Sheng Shi's interest now, but looking at the time, it seems that it is the time agreed between himself and Zheng Yankai, so Sheng Shi hurriedly walked out, and at a glance, it was Zheng Yankai.
Sheng Shi walked to Zheng Yankai's side, "This one of my family didn't scare you, did it?" pointed his finger in Mo Qingyou's direction.
Mo Qingyou looked at Sheng Shi with a pitiful expression, as if he felt very aggrieved by her current accusation.
"No, she's cute. Zheng Yankai praised from the bottom of his heart.
After getting the praise, Mo Qingyou's expression suddenly became happy, just like learning to act, he could change his expression in an instant, and sometimes even Sheng Shi said that Mo Qingyou loves acting so much, it's really a pity not to be an actor.
Mo Qingyou squeezed away Sheng Shi, who was standing in front of Zheng Yankai, stretched out his right hand to Zheng Yankai very seriously, and then said: "Hello sir, I am Mo Qingyou, a partner of Sheng Shi, may I ask, what is the relationship between you and my Mo Qingyou?"
Sheng Shi rolled his eyes at the ceiling, how did he feel like he was going to be tried?
"Hello, my name is Zheng Yankai, and I am the little brother of Shengshi. "That's how Shengshi was called Zheng Yankai when he was a child.
"It's just a little brother?" Mo Qingyou continued to ask unwillingly, as if the two of them didn't admit that they couldn't do anything.
"It's really just a little brother. Zheng Yankai repeated, although it is a fact, but Sheng Shi listened to what Zheng Yankai said so categorically, and there was still a trace of discomfort in his heart.
"Oh well. Mo Qingyou was a little bit lost, and thought that there was something between this handsome guy who came this time and Sheng Shi, her gossip factor had already flown out, but she was ruthlessly suppressed again, and she really wanted to cry!
"Okay, I won't tell you, little brother, let me introduce to you, the one who hasn't spoken all this time is my other partner, named Cao Tingting, if there is anything you can find her when I'm not there. Tingting is a little more normal. Sheng Shi took Zheng Yankai's arm and said.
Hearing this, Mo Qingyou was not happy, is this saying that he is abnormal?
Mo Qingyou just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but Sheng Shi had already pulled Zheng Yankai out there, and Mo Qingyou also heard Sheng Shi say, "Little brother, I'll take you on a boat, just so that you can visit our Wutong Town again, and let you remember how beautiful we are here." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. ”
"Little brother, you are so polite to me, don't you treat me as a sister anymore. ”
"Why, you're my favorite little sister. ”
In just one day, the two of them have already picked up the original lost feelings, and time has not caused too much estrangement between the two people, however, in Zheng Yankai's heart, Sheng Shi is just a sister, and the girl named Mo Qingyou has become the spokesperson of love, Zheng Yankai did not expect that he would meet a girl who made his heart move when he went home this time.
"Little brother, look, do you remember that bridge, when we were young, we always loved to play on that bridge. After Sheng Shi took Zheng Yankai on the boat, he pointed to a bridge not far away and said.
Zheng Yankai looked up, then nodded, this is his childhood memory, how could he not remember?
Zheng Yankai never thought that the little girl who loved to cry back then has now become such a powerful tour guide.
Sheng Shi was very interested in talking about every landscape in Wutong Town, and the explanation was also very good, so that Zheng Yankai couldn't stop praising her and wondering, is this still the place where he lived, why there are some stories that he never knows.
Zheng Yankai has to admit that when there is a tour guide by your side, especially a very dedicated tour guide, it can really help you re-look at the place you once thought you were familiar with, you may feel that this place has become mysterious and strange, but the feeling of wanting to explore brought by strangeness and mystery can attract you even more.
The boat swayed slowly on the river, and after a while, the boatman brought the wine they brewed, which smelled very fragrant and attracted Zheng Yankai's taste buds.
"This is osmanthus wine, little brother, do you remember, when we were young, we didn't know what wine was, and we were tired of playing again to your house to rest, everyone was thirsty, and then I found the osmanthus wine made by my uncle, and I thought it was very delicious when I drank it at the time, and then we all drank it all, and when my uncle came back, it was said that we were lying on the ground, and we were all little drunks, but then my uncle didn't scold us, but just told us that although this thing was delicious, we couldn't drink it until we grew up.
"Yes, you were fine at that time, but I was beaten afterwards, which my dad had been brewing for a long time and was ready to drink it himself, but it was all of a sudden and we didn't drink it. Zheng Yankai lowered his head after speaking.
Sheng Shi realized that he was wrong, Zheng Yankai had just sent his father away, and now he must be very uncomfortable, how could he still mention this stubble?
"Little brother, I'm sorry, I, I forgot that my uncle is no longer there. Sheng Shi said embarrassedly, her original intention was just to reminisce about her childhood with Zheng Yankai.
"It's okay, it's all over, and, Xiaoying, thank you for letting me know that there are actually people who remember my dad, this feeling is good, really. ”
Sheng Shi could see Zheng Yankai's stubbornness, remembering the scene he saw in the crematorium yesterday, Sheng Shi was about to regret the topic he had just brought up, why was she so stupid?
Sheng Shi looked at Zheng Yankai's expression became a little heavy, and he was embarrassed to say anything more, the two of them quietly enjoyed the journey on the next small river, but both of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't take the beautiful scenery in front of them too seriously, Zheng Yankai knew that he was not very good at doing this, but he still couldn't help but do so, and after getting off the boat, Zheng Yankai offered to invite Sheng Shi to dinner, which was considered compensation.
Zheng Yankai lost his father, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
He has now come to Wutong Town, but he has never appreciated this place properly, he is very grateful to this sister, even if there is no blood relationship, but since childhood, they have been brother and sister, this is the law.
When his father married his mother Xuan Xuan in the prosperous world, he disagreed with 10,000, and he hated his father for his mother's final suicide.
If it weren't for this woman named Xuan Xuan, if it weren't for her father, the two of them would have joined forces to force their mother to divorce, and their mother would not have committed suicide.
He will always remember that afternoon, his father and mother went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the divorce agreement, and his mother returned home and did not see his father for a long time.
His mother looked a little tired, he ignored Zheng Yankai's shouts, and went into the room alone, Zheng Yankai didn't know at that time that his mother would never come out once she went in.
Until the evening, his mother never left the room, which made Zheng Yankai feel very strange.
He didn't know why, his mother didn't come out when he was eating, and Zheng Yankai was the only one eating alone in the restaurant, looking a little lonely, Zheng Yankai had to be cheeky and knock on the door of his mother's room.
After knocking for a long time, no one responded, Zheng Yankai had to go to the room of the warehouse to look for the key, but when the door opened, the room was quiet and creepy.
The mother lay motionless on the bed, as if she were asleep, and she was sleeping steadily. Zheng Yankai cautiously called out to his mother, but his mother did not respond to Zheng Yankai.
Zheng Yankai yelled that it was not good, and went to test his mother's pulse, only to find that he was out of breath.
I wanted to be sent to the hospital for rescue, but unfortunately the doctor gave Zheng Yankai a shake of his head, did he mean that he was not saved?
At his mother's funeral, his father came, and he also brought a woman, that woman was very beautiful, it was her current stepmother Xuan Xuan, although Xuan Xuan treated him like his own son, but Zheng Yankai said in his heart, how could he not hate him!
Zheng Yankai knew that his mother was a very proud person, and he would not want to see some irrelevant people come to see him, so Zheng Yankai kicked out the woman and his father, and he didn't want them to hurt his mother again.
How good his mother is, even if she wants the stars in the sky, she will pick them up and give them to Zheng Yankai, how much her mother loves Zheng Yankai, she will give him anything.
If someone bullies Zheng Yankai, his mother will do his best, but now that it no longer exists, his mother has long since left.
Leave him alone in this world, alone in this world, and then live in his mother's house.
Evenly, he was finally taken by his father to the home where he lived with that woman, and he also had a younger sister, and this sister was Sheng Shi, Sheng Shi was as arrogant as a little princess, and his personality reminded him of his mother. Therefore, Zheng Yankai has always loved Shengshi for this reason.
Then unfortunately, his father didn't seem to like to see him, so he sent him to study in the field, and then, he chose to work in the field, and occasionally went back to see Wutong Town, but it was not as bright as it is today.
The reason is that his father died, and now, he is a real orphan, a child without a father and a mother.
