"Sister, you come to judge the theory!" Chang Jiahui suddenly led the conversation to Chang An.

She sighed, trying to restrain her frustration, "I think it's good, at least better than me, I can't even make a fried rice until now." ”

"Listen, it's still my sister who is interesting enough, sister, for your sake, I will definitely be the first to knock on your and brother-in-law's door tomorrow morning!"

The rules of the Chang family for many years, the first thing the younger generation opens their eyes on the first day of the new year is to go to the elders to greet the new year.

Wei Suying bluffed: "Don't be big or small!"

Chang Jiahui grimaced at her, and then turned to Zhou Xian's eyes, "Brother-in-law, get ready for the New Year's money!"

Wei Suying scratched even more: "Jiahui, why are you getting more and more unruly?"

"Why are there no rules? One is my sister and the other is my brother-in-law, I can't ask them all year round to ask for a New Year's money?" Chang Jiahui was still selling well, and Wei Suying's eyes went straight to her.

"Okay, don't be so dogmatic, it's rare for the children to be happy during the New Year!" Chang Wangde, who hadn't spoken much, actually spoke, Chang Jiahui happily went over and grabbed his arm, "It's still Dad who is the best for me, sister, brother-in-law, that's it!"

Chang An laughed, even though she knew she was laughing a little far-fetched.

After dinner, it is rare for the whole family to sit together and chat and watch the Spring Festival Gala, Wei Suying brought out the fruit plate and snacks that had been prepared before, the atmosphere was very good at first, Chang Jiahui's words can always mobilize the atmosphere, even Chang Wangde was amused several times, but Wei Suying somehow interjected in the middle: "Huh, how do you feel that Zhao Benshan has not been on the Spring Festival Gala for two years?"

"Mom, you don't even know this? The backer above him has fallen, how can he show his face in front of the people of the whole country again?"

Chang An heard it badly, and hurriedly called softly: "Jiahui!"

Chang Jiahui didn't realize that she had said the wrong thing, and was still adding, "This is the so-called ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, standing on the right team is happy for ten thousand years, and standing on the wrong team can only end up like this." ”

Chang An was anxious and angry, and wanted to stand up and go over to pull Chang Jiahui, but Zhou Wei gently dragged her and motioned her with his eyes not to say much.

Wei Suying on the other side also heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly rounded the field: "What a mess, you can tell so many big truths by watching a sketch, you quickly shut up for me, come, Xiao An, eat an orange." Wei Suying handed over a sugar orange.

Chang An unconsciously took it, but his eyes kept falling on Chang Wangde.

Chang Wangde sat there at first, and suddenly patted his knees with both hands: "Okay, I was outside at this time in the past, either grassroots condolences or on-site command work, it is rare that the family can get together for a reunion this year, you don't have to be so restrained, let alone speak carefully for fear of touching me at a certain point, I am not as unbearable as you think, ups and downs are the normal state of life, I am now unofficial and light, sometimes I think about it, the most relaxed is the recent days!"

Raising flowers, reading books, and listening to operas are the recent normal life of Chang Wangde, who has lost all his aura and lived in seclusion in the countryside, like an ordinary old man who lives for a long time.

Wei Suying secretly wiped her eyes, "Yes, it's good, there's nothing to fight about." ”

Chang An paid attention to Chang Wangde's expression, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, but there was still frustration in his eyes that could be hidden.

With the "high hopes of fame" accumulated over the decades, he is also a person who is extremely interested in fame, can he really accept being retired due to illness like this?

"Dad..."

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's not early, I'm tired, go upstairs to rest first!" He didn't wait for Chang An to finish speaking, got up and took the newspaper on the table and was about to leave.

Wei Suying hurriedly went over to help: "I'll send you up first!"

Chang An's words rushed to his throat and were swallowed hard.

The Spring Festival Gala is still going on, but she doesn't have the heart to watch it anymore, as for Chang Jiahui, she is posing when she watches the Spring Festival Gala, and she has been swiping her mobile phone almost all the time, and when she saw Chang Wangde going upstairs, she also found an excuse to flash people.

Only Chang An and Zhou Wei were left in the living room.

"It's not too late, do you have any other plans to rest early?" asked Zhou Wei.

Chang An was still holding the sugar orange in his hand, which was almost crumpled by her, and stared at the direction Chang Wangde left, "Why don't you go out for a walk with me?"

Zhou Wei thought for a while: "Okay, but you have to go and change into thicker clothes!"

A few minutes later, the two went out, hats, gloves and scarves, Zhou Wei wrapped Chang An tightly, all the way along the path at the door, along the side you can see the small lanterns hanging on the treetops, and then think of the Spring Festival couplets on the gate and the colorful balls in the yard, as well as a table full of vegetables and fruit plates on the coffee table.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou asked.

Chang An crushed the pebbles on the road with his foot, "I'm thinking... My dad and my mom didn't get married because they loved each other. ”

Zhou Wei paused, "Why did you suddenly think of such a thing?"

"It's not sudden, this problem has been bothering me for many years, and I always feel that my dad and my mom are not all the way. ”

"If it weren't for people all the way, how could there be you!" Zhou Wei teased.

Chang An smiled bitterly and sighed again.

"In fact, for so many years, I refused to be soft on my face, but I actually admired Aunt Ying very much in my heart, because this woman... This woman..."Chang An tried to organize the language, but it seemed that he couldn't find the right word all of a sudden, and then asked:" Do you see the lanterns and colored balls in the yard, as well as the atmosphere of the New Year inside and out, I know that these are the credit of Aunt Ying, she wants to make the house lively, let my dad be happy, and for so many years, whether my dad is a nobody or a high-ranking official, she has always stayed by her side, regardless of the name of Jiahui, and then my mother left, she also suffered a lot of white eyes in the years when she first entered the Chang family, including me, not to say, but in my heart has been rejected, but despite this, so many years, she has always worked hard and never gave up……”

Wei Suying was like this when Chang Wangde was in the limelight, and when Chang Wangde lost power and got a terminal illness, she was still like this, and she was even more tired than before, because she had to take care of housework and take care of her husband, and she had to take care of everything inside and out.

Chang An swallowed again, "I know it's wrong for me to think so, after all, this woman has intervened in my father's marriage with my mother, and is even the indirect murderer of my mother's suicide, but for some reason, I always have a feeling that if my mother hasn't left, she shouldn't be able to do it without complaint like Aunt Ying, and only pretend to be my father in my heart." ”

Wei Suying is more like a self-sacrificing woman on a certain level, accommodating others as if she was compromised, great and tragic.

After listening to this, Zhou Wei didn't say much, he hadn't seen Xue Bing, and he didn't know what Chang Wangde and Xue Bing had done before, and he sometimes couldn't understand even the deformed family relationship of the Chang family, so it was not easy to make a conclusion, so he just naturally held Chang An's hand.

"Every marriage should have its own way of conservation, no matter what the reason, existence is reasonable!"

Just like Chang Wangde and Xue Bing, and then with Wei Suying, for the sake of interests or feelings, since it exists, it means that there must be a reason for its existence.

"Don't think about it, there seems to be a small square in front, let's go there and have a look!"

Zhou Wei pointed to a place not far away with a bright light source, not far away, and there was already the sound of children's laughter.

"Good!"

The two of them only knew in the past that it was not a small square, but a concrete floor in front of the village committee office building, which was not large, but gathered many people, most of whom were children, who had just slipped out of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and gathered here in twos and threes to chase and fight.

Chang An and Zhou Wei walked over, just a bear child ran over, chattering and throwing something at her feet, and then sparked, "bang", so frightened that Chang An jumped back two steps.

Seeing that she was scared like that, Zhou Wei teased her and asked, "Do you know what this is called?"

Chang An covered his ears and glared at him: "Of course I know, I remember calling it a little wiping cannon when I was a child!"

Zhou Wei was surprised: "Have you also played with this thing?"

Chang An: "I haven't played it. ”

Thinking about it, her birth and tutor, how could she have the opportunity to play with this kind of small thing in the market when she was a child, but soon Zhou Wei heard her add, "...... But my brother played, he was very mischievous when he was a child, he knew that I was afraid of this thing, and he bought several boxes every year, the most excessive time was to pick up and play with me, I lit a piece for fear of sound, and in a hurry I threw things into my father's goldfish bowl......"

As a result, the fish was blown up, and there were a few cracks on the glass tank, Chang Wangde came back to ask who did the good deeds, Chang An was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, it was Chen Haodong who took the initiative to come over and admit it, and the consequence was that Chang Wangde was punished for the New Year, and he stood in a military posture, standing in the cold backyard.

Chang An thinks about it, it was really simple and happy at that time.

When he looked up, Zhou Wei stared at her with solemn eyes, and after holding back for a while, he still laughed.

"Look at your eyes, I just recalled what happened when I was a child, you are so jealous that you are about to beat people!"

She can't do anything to her.

Zhou Wei was scratching the back tooth socket in the cold wind, and the little thing is now more and more fearless!

He patted the leather gloves in his hands, turned and walked back.

Chang An sighed: "Why are you going?"

"Sleep!"

"Isn't it so early?"

is still going shopping, this little broken village, apart from making her think about the past, what else is there to visit?

Zhou Yan walked all the way, his legs were long, Chang An spent a lot of effort not to be thrown off by him, and he didn't speak after entering the house, and went directly to the guest room, Chang An took advantage of his bathing to send a circle of friends: "It's about to enter the new year, I hope the haze will fade, and the wind and the sun will be beautiful!"

It's rare for her to be hypocritical, so soon someone left a message below.

Chang An flipped through them one by one, and the phone suddenly dripped sound, and it turned out to be a text message.
