The emotions of the three people were controlled, and they sat quietly at the table in the living room. Cao Yuyi made a cup of tea for them and for herself. The aunt took two sips of tea gently, and then said:

"Your uncle's family didn't know that I would get such a disease, my parents-in-law didn't like me in the first place, and with the money for my sister's treatment, they were even more angry with me. If you know my illness, they will dislike me even more. Ever since my sister died, I've been having nightmares and feeling like illness is coming to me soon. I had insomnia all night long, and your uncle said I had schizophrenia. Fang Xiaoshi grabbed her aunt's hand tightly, she could feel it at this moment, her palms were cold, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

"Auntie, don't be afraid of you and me and my brother!" Cao Yuyi nodded again and again and said:

"Yes, Auntie!"

"Auntie, I'm not only afraid of the torture of the disease, nor am I afraid of death, I have long thought about it, people are born and die, if they are frightened by this disease in this life, it is better to die early and be born early. What I fear most is the desolation after death. ”

"Auntie, why do you say that? Don't you still have your uncle and Huzi, and us? ”

"Xiao Shi, my mother is your grandmother, not long after giving birth to me, just reached the age of thirty and died of that disease, your grandfather took your mother and me, into someone else's house, we sisters he almost ignored it, I and your mother were self-reliant to the age of marriage and each married, your grandfather received a bride price, and even a dowry was pushed out for us. ”

"No wonder, my mother never took us back to my parents' house, and when I asked her, she only said that my grandparents had died a long time ago, and there was no one in my mother's house anymore. Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help muttering when he heard this.

"I hated your grandfather at first, for his cruelty, for being so cruel to us. "Until the day your mother got married, my grandfather only said to your mother:

"After you get married and pregnant, you must go to the hospital for a check-up, and if you have a daughter, don't give birth. Your mother told me this, and when I got married hastily, my grandfather still said this. ”

"I never hated your grandfather, the reason why your grandfather was so cruel to us, because the loss of his grandmother made him feel more painful, he didn't want to establish a relationship with our sisters, and endure it twice, so we broke off contact with him after we got married. Cao Yuyi's brother and sister had mixed feelings when they heard it, and they didn't know how to comment on who was right and who was wrong, it was only strange that the current medicine was not developed enough to cure this disease.

"After I die, your grandfather will definitely not come. I can now predict the desolation after my death, my parents-in-law must not care about my death, just because of their provocation, your uncle's feelings for me are also very weak now, Huzi is only six years old, and he hardly understands anything. When I died, they would have buried me like a dead dog, and it would be over. Auntie then said sadly.

"Auntie, don't say that, you won't die, even if you have that day, my brother and I will definitely send you up the mountain. When the aunt heard this, her eyes sparkled, and she moved her eyes to Cao Yuyi's body. Cao Yuyi immediately came to his senses. He hurriedly said with certainty:

"Auntie, that's for sure, you are now my closest relative to Xiao Shi and me, and it is only natural for us to give you a pension and send you to the end. Tears welled up in the aunt's eyes again:

"I'm relieved that you can say that. My aunt was a lively person when she was alive, and after she died, she also hoped that the lively scenery would be on the road, so that it would be in vain for me to come to this world. ”

"Auntie, let's not think about anything, okay? We will live happily for one day, but in fact, it is not Auntie, that you will endure this kind of fate that death may come at any time. In China alone, hundreds of thousands of people suffer this kind of death every day. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked the aunt in disbelief.

"Auntie, if you think about it, there will be tens of thousands of car accidents in China alone in one day, and tens of thousands of deaths. Just like we are the same, saying that we don't necessarily go to work happily, and suddenly suffer a car accident and the person is gone..."

"Little pick up you..."

"Auntie, you listen to what I say, I'm not cursing ourselves, I'm telling the truth, we can't be so scared that we can't even go home because of the catastrophe that may fly!

"It's a bit far-fetched, but it also makes some sense. Xiao Shi, I listen to you, I will live a good life for a day, and try not to think about the unhappy things. ”

"That's right. Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but threw herself into her aunt's arms again, hugged her aunt's head and said coquettishly:

"Auntie, my brother and I will eat some porridge in the morning, we are all hungry, aren't you going to cook Chinese rice for us?"

"Ahh When the aunt heard Fang Xiaoshi's words, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up from the chair.

"Auntie, don't pay attention to her, she's a foodie, it's only past nine o'clock in the morning. Cao Yuyi said with a smile on the side. Fang Xiaoshi glared at him fiercely and said:

"You don't speak, no one is dumb when you are. Auntie glanced at the clock on the wall, and it was only half past nine, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're pretty early, we've been talking for so long, it's only past nine o'clock. ”

"It's not early, if you want to pick it up, she wants to come over in the middle of the night. ”

"Our custom is not that you can't go to relatives on the first and second days of junior high school, so can I not be in a hurry when I finally wait until the third year of junior high school?" Fang Xiaoshi explained. When the aunt heard this, she smiled happily and said:

"It's rare for you to look up to your aunt like this, when you come to your aunt's house today, your aunt must cook you something delicious. ”

"Auntie, the reason why I came so early is not only because I miss you, but because I want to see you early, the main reason is that I am afraid that there are many relatives in your family today, and you are too busy alone, so I will come over early to help you.

"You, everything will be thought of for Auntie in advance. One of the things I envy my sister the most in my life is that she has such a good daughter as you. ”

"Auntie, don't, if you blow again, I'll float to the sky. I floated away and there will be no one to help you with the work, before I float away, let's go and prepare the Chinese rice!" Auntie couldn't help but let go of all the unhappiness in her heart, and took Fang Xiaoshi's hand again and walked towards the kitchen. Cao Yuyi hurriedly picked up the teacup and followed.

Seeing the kitchen table full of dishes, Fang Xiaoshi called out in surprise:

"Auntie, you gave all the people in your family away, but you bought so many vegetables, what do you want to do?"

"Burn it for both of you!"

"So many dishes, do you think we are rice buckets?"

"I don't burn that much, I only burn a little of everything. ”

"Auntie, that's so troublesome! We want you to come and see you, not to come to your house for a good meal. And this New Year's Day eats delicious food every day, and he doesn't work. Who's going to eat it?"

"Then you have to burn it, this is Auntie's intention, Auntie wants to cook a table of dishes for you. ”

"Auntie, I know you love our brother and sister, but you don't have to use this way! If you can't finish the food, you will burn it again in the next meal, and it will be a waste of everything. Auntie, I have a suggestion. ”

"What do you suggest?"

"Don't do it today, let me and my brother cook a meal for you! I know that you have the most difficult people at home, both old and young. You will fulfill us once, let us do our filial piety to you once!" Cao Yuyi also said:

"Yes, Auntie, you can take a break! Are you tired of eating your own food? Then let's try our craftsmanship today!" Looking at the pair of brothers and sisters who looked at her with concern, Auntie couldn't help but nodded.

The Cao Yuyi brothers and sisters began to get busy, Fang Xiao picked up her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and tied her aunt's apron, looking like a small family chef with good skills. And Cao Yuyi changed his usual serious appearance, he also rolled up his sleeves, with a smile on his face, and naturally and skillfully started for Fang Xiaoshi. The aunt sat on a small stool and couldn't help but lose her mind when she looked at all this in front of her.

She couldn't help but think in her heart: No wonder when her sister was alive, she had a wish in her heart, that is, she hoped that Cao Yuyi and Fang Xiaoshi could become husband and wife. If they do become husband and wife, they must be the happiest couple. It can be seen from their eyes that they only treat each other as brother and sister, and she doesn't say much.

Under the busy work of Fang Xiaoshi's skillful hands. After a while, a few side dishes came out. At Cao Yuyi's strong request, the aunt had to sit on the table. Cao Yuyi took out a bottle of red wine for more than 1,000 yuan a bottle on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Auntie, this wine was brought by my friend, I brought two bottles, one bottle of Chinese New Year's Eve to drink. This bottle is reserved for you. ”

"Show me. Auntie hurriedly took it.

"It's all in English, I can't read it!"

"Auntie, this is a world-famous wine, it seems to be Italian, you can't understand normal. Fang Xiaoshi said to her aunt with a smile.

"Oh yes, it's so scary, I won't drink it. Suddenly, the aunt screamed, and Fang Xiaoshi, who was placing the dishes and chopsticks, trembled all over. Cao Yuyi was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked:

"Auntie, is there a problem with this wine, why can't you drink it?"

"Look at it, look at it. The aunt said while handing the phone to Cao Yuyi. Cao Yuyi took the phone puzzled. It turned out that the aunt used her mobile phone to scan the QR code on the bottle. The price of the wine above is 19,000. For a thrifty and simple aunt, the price is too high. Fang Xiaoshi looked at it and understood.

"Auntie, it's not as expensive as the one you bought online. ”

"That's not much cheaper. ”

"You don't care how much it costs, drink it first. “

"That's not good, this bite is like swallowing gold, it's too expensive, I really can't swallow it. ”

"Auntie, how can you describe it like that?" Cao Yuyi couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Yes! This is a gift from my rich second-generation friend. It didn't cost us any money. ”

"It really didn't cost you any money?" Fang Xiaoshi nodded affirmatively. Auntie picked up the cup with a smile and said:

"Then I'll give it a try, and I'll tell you the truth that red wine is my favorite drink. ”
