Chapter 120: Reality and Memory Overlap

It can really be said that there is no meeting in life, and when I turned around, it turned out to be Yan Fei.

Xue Yihuai never told her what the reason was, the police took Yan Fei away, and finally released him because there was no direct evidence. Because she was still angry with Xue Yihuai, she didn't say hello after hearing him being released.

"Brother Yan, are you okay?" This concern seemed to come a little late, but he still accepted it gladly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. But you and Auntie, do you have anything to do when you come here? This side has already started the demolition and relocation matters, and you should pay attention to safety when there are many demolition vehicles. He Niannian didn't know at this moment that it was Yuandao Group that was responsible for the demolition and reconstruction this time.

Yu Wen is always very emotional when she sees Yan Fei, last night she also dreamed that her son came back, and today she met Yan Fei. I don't know if this is a fate in the dark, or the consolation of my son's spirit in heaven. Yu Wen took Yan Fei's hand forward and asked kindly, "Why haven't you come to sit at home for so long?"

Yu Wen was full of kind questions, which made Yan Fei's every fingertip glow with warmth: "I'm sorry Auntie, I've been a little busy these days." When I'm done, I'll be sure to visit you and your uncle at home. ”

Yu Wen nodded with satisfaction, He Niannian looked at it from the side and smiled jealously: "I don't know, I thought that Brother Yan was born to you." ”

Yu Wen poked her head and smiled: "The house here is going to be demolished, Nian Nian and I will come back to see what else we have to take away." Xiaofei, you also want to do business here, then we won't bother you. ”

Yan Fei was very surprised, he didn't expect the He family's old house to be in this community. For some reason, an inexplicable emotion spread in my heart: "Hometown...... Is it really in this community? is it this happy community?"

Yan Fei's shock made He Niannian very surprised, is there something wrong with their hometown in this community? Yan Fei shook his head, and many pictures flashed in his mind. One by one, the ancient well and the banyan tree finally became the catalpa tree that was fixed in Tang Dart.

He Niannian saw that his expression was a little wrong, and pushed his arm: "Brother Yan, are you okay? Our family is in this community, why are you so shocked?"

Yan Fei came back to his senses and smiled: "No." Auntie, why don't I go with you, if there is anything heavy, I can do it. ”

He Niannian wanted to refuse, but Yan Fei had already taken the lead in entering the community and said, "I happen to have free time this afternoon, let's go, I also want to see it...... Where you lived as a child. "For some reason, my heart was beating harder and harder. Yan Fei asked himself, his state of mind has always been stable, but he can't say the reason for the crazy heartbeat like now.

Every time I stepped up the stairs, my heart couldn't help but tense a little more.

The house has been empty for so many years, during which He Zhiyan came to clean it every one or two years, but then he didn't come back when he got older. It has not been ventilated for too long, and there is a musty smell in the house, and dust has accumulated in a layer. Push open the window and let in the sunlight, shining on an old bamboo chair.

Under the sun, the dust in the air was floating, and Yan Fei looked at the quiet old bamboo chair in a daze. There are pictures flashing in the depths of memory, like old black and white photos that have precipitated time. He looked around as if he was familiar, and the tense heartstrings in his heart gradually turned into a pair of invisible hands that grabbed his neck, and his breathing became so rapid.

Something seemed to burst out of his heart, and he clutched his heart, breathing faster and faster. Yu Wen was flipping through things, He Niannian was actually very unfamiliar with this place, and looked around like Yan Fei. When she found out that something was wrong with Yan Fei, Yan Fei leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, and there were too many pictures in her mind.

There was also a gentle voice that called his nickname over and over again. Dumbo, Dumbo. Who the hell is calling him? Who is he?

"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? You didn't quite feel right from the time you went upstairs just now, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Fei opened his eyes and looked at He Niannian with some fascination. He Niannian avoided his gaze and lowered his head: "Brother Yan, why are you looking at me like this?"

Before Yan Fei could answer, a voice came from the room, and the two hurriedly ran into the room: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Yu Wen covered his mouth and shook his head, but heard her sobs. She was holding a photo album in her hand, and He Niannian leaned over to find that this photo album was full of photos of her dead brother.

is because she is afraid that she will see things and think of people, so when He Zhiyan left and moved out of here, he only did not take away the photos of his son, because he was afraid that his wife would not be able to suppress his thoughts of his son even more after seeing it. Unexpectedly, when today's dusty photos were turned up again, her wounds that lost her young son still couldn't heal.

He Niannian hugged his mother: "Mom...... Don't be sad, my brother has been gone for so many years, and he doesn't want to see you like this. ”

Yu Wen wiped his tears and nodded. Yan Fei stood behind the mother and daughter, he didn't dare to take a step forward, his heart beat out of his throat: "I...... Can I take a look?" he pointed to the album, and He Niannian saw it in his hand.

The photos are arranged in chronological order, from the first birth to the full moon to the 100 days...... Until He Chongfei was four years old, it came to an abrupt end. On the contrary, in the last photo, Yan Fei's hands were already trembling. The tense heartstrings slowly turned into a variety of tastes, and he put down the album and turned to leave. He leaned on the staircase and smoked a cigarette without a glance, He Niannian comforted his mother, completely unaware of Yan Fei's abnormality.

The hands holding the cigarettes were trembling, and their eyes were already a little moist. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight. How many times, he was so close to the answer, but he missed it again and again. Banyan tree, catalpa tree, it turns out that this is the truth.

With mixed feelings, one cigarette quickly burned out, and he refilled. Only in this way can he calm himself down at this moment. The traces of time obscured the colors in the memory, and when reality and memory began to overlap, every frame of the memory fragments that poured up was plausible.

When Yu Wen eased up, the mother and daughter found that Yan Fei was missing. The door was open, and He Niannian chased him out to see him smoking: "Brother Yan, I thought you were leaving without saying goodbye......"

Yan Fei raised his head to look at her, and after a distance of more than a dozen steps, he moved his lips for a long time before he spoke: "Nian Nian, can you change your name in the future?"

He Niannian was stunned for a moment and smiled: "What's the matter? I've been calling Brother Yan for so long, don't you feel uncomfortable now?"

Yan Fei shook his head: "Just call it big brother......!" Awkward. ”

In this life, I am afraid that I will never be able to speak, a truth that can only be hidden forever. It is to protect them, but also to redeem himself, this secret he bears one by one.

He Niannian thought about it, and seemed to be reasoning. But...... Jin Nan would probably be unhappy if she heard it, then it would be good not to call in front of Jin Nan, she called her eldest brother with relief, but she wanted to know why he suddenly thought of this stubble.

Yan Fei snuffed out his cigarette butt and thought for a moment: "I saw the photo of your brother just now, and I think it looks like me when I was a child." Maybe that's fate, so I really want to be your big brother. I don't know if you can accept this reason?"

He Niannian smiled and nodded, but he was even more curious: "It turns out that you looked very similar to my brother when you were a child, show me the photo another day?"

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "The photos when I was a child were not plasticized, and they were destroyed when they were wet and damp in the old house." How's Auntie going, is there anything to move from?"

He changed the topic, and He Niannian glanced back at Yu Wen. In fact, the valuable things have long been moved, and there is nothing left. It's just that the photos that were not taken away back then, Yu Wen carefully packed them. Turning around, she pushed open the door of another room, which was He Chongfei's room.

This room is still the same as before, there are a lot of toys in it, He Niannian stopped her with some concern: "Mom, Dad said, you don't want to go into this room." ”

The moment the door was pushed open, Yan Fei's memory also wanted to be opened. A dazzling array of toys, large and small, some bought in the mall, and some handmade. Even the bamboo dragonfly in front of the desk overlapped with fragments of broken memories.

Yu Wen knew her husband's worries, but when she came back today, how could she not take a look: "Don't worry, I'll take a look, whatever...... Give him your brother's favorite food, and tell him to remember the way home......"

He Niannian lowered his head and felt a little uncomfortable, the lunch box was opened, and the food was already cold. Yu Wen whispered to himself, but Yan Fei didn't dare to enter the room, for fear that they would see that his eyes were already red. The surviving people of the past 30 years have to watch their families mourn themselves.

After a long time, Yu Wen finally restrained his sadness. Holding the bamboo dragonfly, He Niannian stopped her: "Mom, we can't rest assured that you are like this." What belongs to my brother, let them stay here and accompany my brother forever!"

Yu Wen looked back at his daughter, and the tears that had finally been hidden began to flash in his eyes again: "Okay, listen to you." After packing their things, the three of them prepared to go downstairs. Yan Fei was the last, and neither mother nor daughter saw it, and he took away the bamboo dragonfly before closing the door......
