Changing into a wide pair of beach pants and a vest, it felt as if he had taken off the exhaustion of his whole body, Xiao Qi glanced at his arms and bare calves, and couldn't see any wounds and bruises, and smoked a cigarette on the balcony, blowing a somewhat hot wind before going downstairs.

When he walked to the kitchen, Xiao Qi saw his mother holding a large plate of his favorite sausage in her left hand and a plate of peanuts in her right hand, so she quickly took it over and put it on the dining table, took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, thought about it, took out two more bottles, and put them on the dining table.

Remembering that his father let himself warm the wine at the beginning, and asked what kind of wine was the right cold beer on this hot day, Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Xiao's father also came over with a plate of shredded potatoes, and Xiao's mother helped with the apron, and the family sat around the small dining table.

Just three dishes, sausages and peanuts for wine, at a glance you know that it was specially added for yourself, if you don't come back, it is estimated that at noon today, parents will just eat this plate of shredded potatoes.

Xiao Qi retracted the emotion in his heart and said softly: "Thank you, Mom."

"You stupid boy, how old are you, what thank you for your family. ”

Xiao Qi directly bit the lid of the beer, handed over a bottle of wine to Xiao's father, and also bit open a bottle, poured it into the cup, and gently touched a glass with Xiao's father, while Xiao's mother added a chopstick sausage and put it in Xiao Qi's bowl. Xiao Qi sandwiched a piece, and the bite was still the same as before, and the deliciousness of his mother's handmade will never change.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Qi took out his own cigarette and handed it to his father, his father was an old smoking gun, and he was also a small smoking gun, although his mother persuaded himself many times, and his father persuaded himself many times, but he couldn't quit.

Father Xiao didn't look at what kind of cigarette Xiao Qi handed over, he lit it in his mouth, and then said: "Xiao Qi, did you encounter anything when you go home this time, just say something, come home, I'll do something for you, your father still has a lot of strength, it's really not good, I'll go find my group of comrades." ”

Yes, Xiao's father was a soldier, although he retired later, but some of those comrades-in-arms are still in the army, and they are also developing well.

When Xiao Qi heard his father ask, he knew that the last thing his father wanted on weekdays was to trouble that group of comrades-in-arms, and he was willing to go to his uncles for help with his own affairs, and he couldn't help but be moved.

"Dad, what do you say, what can I do, isn't this time relatively idle, thinking about coming back and seeing, I'm going to leave soon." In order to dispel the doubts in his parents' hearts, Xiao Qi said.

When Xiao's mother heard that her son would leave in a few days, her heart was also a little sour. I was afraid that I would go home this time, and Xiao Qi would not go home after the New Year, so he hurriedly asked: "Then will you go home for the New Year?"

Xiao's mother laughed at this time, "If you like to eat, take some to Shanghai, anyway, there are many things at home, they are all prepared for you." ”

Xiao Qi responded with a smile, took a sip of salt, looked at Xiao's father and said, "Dad, I don't plan to go to Shanghai this time." Wanted a change of scenery"

Xiao's father had a poisonous eye and saw what Xiao Qi had experienced, but Xiao Qi didn't say it, he didn't ask, just said: "You are not a child, where to go, how long to go, you just have a number in your heart."

Xiao Qi knew his father's temperament, and would not interfere too much with his thoughts, touched a cup with his father, and put a chopstick and shredded potatoes into the bowl, and as soon as he lowered his head and was about to put it in his mouth, he saw his mother reaching out to pull the corner of his father's clothes, and then Xiao's father touched his chin that had just been shaved or blued and said: "That, Xiao Qi, do you have a girlfriend, every time I ask you in the past two years, you don't tell us, your mother is worried about it every day."

Xiao Qi looked at his mother, Xiao's mother smiled and nodded: "You are not young anymore, the children of your classmates are all in elementary school, and you are still single, we are also thinking that there is someone who can take care of each other by your side, and your father also wants to hold his grandson."

Xiao's mother kicked the ball back to Xiao Qi's father.

Xiao Qi looked at his parents' posture, and knew that he couldn't escape this topic today, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Fang again, he was stunned, and saw his parents waiting for his statement with blank eyes, so he smiled bitterly: "I haven't talked about the object yet, I'll try to bring my girlfriend home before the New Year."

looked at Xiao's father and Xiao's mother's satisfied looks, but I was thinking in my heart, how to deal with it when I went home for the New Year, and I didn't know where my girlfriend was.

Xiao Qi then chatted with his parents about a lot of trivial matters in the village, and Xiao Qi also picked up irrelevant things about his mother when he asked about himself in Shanghai, and this meal was also the happiest in two years since Xiao Qi returned home for the last Chinese New Year.

After eating, Xiao Qi helped his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat in front of the TV and chatted. Xiao Qi suddenly remembered that he didn't buy anything for his parents when he went home this time, and he was very upset, secretly scolded himself for having no conscience, and told Xiao's father and Xiao's mother that he would go out to buy some snacks, and when he went to get home, he would give them to the children.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother felt that it was reasonable, so they asked Xiao Qi to watch and buy it by himself, and Xiao's mother also asked Xiao Qi to buy some pork ribs, saying that she was going to make braised pork ribs for Xiao Qi at night, which is also one of Xiao Qi's favorite dishes.

Xiao Qi rode the motorcycle at home, this motorcycle that I bought a few years ago and put it at home and didn't ride much was a little wild, ten minutes away, Xiao Qi was stunned to ride for half an hour before arriving in town,

This town is not the town where Xiao Qi went to junior high school, it is another town next to Gonggong Village, where Xiao Qi's aunt, that is, Xiao's mother's sister, lives in the town. Xiao Qi thought about visiting his aunt, so he went to this town, and his aunt's family was the one with the best relationship with his family among his relatives, and he treated himself as his own.

First went to the only jewelry store in the town, bought a watch for Xiao's father and uncle, and bought a platinum necklace for Xiao's mother and aunt, remembering my aunt's child, my cousin is almost eighteen years old this year, so I bought a pair of exquisite earrings. Xiao Qi

I don't care that this is already my living expenses in Shanghai for two months, I don't seem to buy anything for them, and I secretly blame myself, how can I not know that I am better for my relatives when I am almost twenty-eight years old.

Riding a motorcycle, Xiao got up to check the time, it was almost three o'clock, and he drove towards his aunt's house. The distance is not far, and it is only two or three kilometers away from the jewelry store, and it will be there quickly.
