The two of them talked about astronomy to geography, from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life, and after a meal, they actually ignored me and made a few agreements - next time they braked, they had to come early to drink tea and play chess with my father, and my father also made an appointment with him to practice a good hand, and with a stroke of the pen, he hung a pair of Spring Festival couplets at the door of his dormitory.

"Hahaha, look at this snail," Dad pointed to a plate of snail shells after eating, "After eating a plate, I will return you a plate, how interesting." ”

"It's more interesting to be an uncle. "Brake complimented, his face was almost hanging on my father's cheek, just now he kept calling uncle, now he is an uncle, I guess he stays for a while, it is possible to call his father-in-law today, "No wonder my daughter is so interesting." ”

"My interesting girl, interesting to you, that's what is interesting. "Dad, this big boss, I have to learn Qiong Yao to repeat a sentence a few times, it's really boring, I have a smile on my face, and the white eyes in my heart have already turned to the sky.

Dad made a gesture to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the brakes and I quickly stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

"I'll clean up. He said.

"Sit down, old man. I dropped the words, took the cup, followed in the footsteps of the brakes, and went into the kitchen. All year round, three meals a day, if you can really talk to him in spring, summer, autumn and winter, make tea and chat with the red clay wine stove, it is simple, ordinary, and it is not bad.

Dad watched us hold hands with each other, quite tacitly understood, almost like the ancient grandfather, the model worker twisted his beard and smiled. It's a pity that since I found out that I had a white beard in the mirror, my father rarely grew a beard. Sometimes when my dad shaved his beard and I passed by, he would look at himself in the mirror, shake his head and sigh, "Hey, how nice it would be to be as young as you." Look at me, how can such a high-spirited young man become a bad old man now."

I rolled my eyes and hurriedly passed by, and loudly argued with my father from afar: "Didn't God let you click and change from a red child to a bull demon king? "Whether poor or rich, common or noble, the fairest thing for everyone is undoubtedly time. One day, I will become a gray-haired old woman, and I will become a shrimp grandfather who walks bent over when I brake, and I can't escape for half a minute.

I don't know what the brakes will look like when they get old, will they be as docile and polite as they are now, or will they become a grotesque and worldly weird old man?

With that in mind, I tilted my head to look at the side of the brake. I saw that between his chin and Adam's apple, there was a slight high and low blue stubble, my hands were itchy, and I looked at him for a long time, and I couldn't help but want to touch his chin. Once this thought surfaced, I couldn't ignore it, and I realized that I was a spoiled bad boy like this, and I had to get my hands on whatever I wanted.

I turned my head and leaned over, and saw my dad rubbing the table with his head down, so I tiptoed down the glass.

"Don't move. I stood in front of his eyes and looked at him with bright eyes.

"What are you doing? Do I have rice on my face, or vegetable dregs?" he looked down at me with a puzzled look, like a woman from a good family who had been robbed, put down the dishes, and touched his face with his hand.

I stood on tiptoe with bad intentions (in fact, the difference in height between us is not that big, we are used to it), reached out and touched his chin, back and forth, almost touching his chin bald: "Oops, this smooth hair stroke and reverse strokes feel so different." ”

He laughed and grabbed my wrist: "Have you washed your hands?"

"Nope. I replied generously, grinning rather viciously, "Now you have the smell of food on your chin." ”

He raised the corners of his mouth and immediately lowered his head and rubbed my face, catching me off guard, "Okay, I have the smell of you all over my face now." ”

"Shameless. I scolded him in a low voice, but my heart was like a dead tree in spring, full of flowers from the trunk of a tree, "Just put the dishes and chopsticks in the pool, let's go catch the cat." ”

"I'll wash it off. ”

"Do you know where the rag is, do you know where the dish soap is, do you know where you put it after washing? Besides, even if you are not afraid of being dirty or tired, how can you let the guests do the work?"

"I'm not a guest, I'm yours. He didn't even think about it, and immediately replied.

"Okay, my people, my lady of the village. "I held his cheeks with both hands, rubbing left and right, like holding a bean paste bag.

The two of us were about to continue talking when Black Dog and Benny ran into the kitchen together, one meowing and meowing on the brakes, and the other rubbing against my ankles, trying to distract us from them, what a pair of abrasive leprechauns. Seeing that my eyes fell on its body, the black dog hurriedly touched the porcelain and fell to the ground, revealing its white belly, rolling back and forth on the white floor tiles in the kitchen.

"Eh, my ancestors, this floor is full of oil, you still roll, do you want to take a bath, see if I wash you and don't stew you." I picked up the black dog, like a fat doll, and saw that the black dog was meowing very cute, so I approached the black dog and rubbed his beard, "Is it better to cook soup or stew?"

"Don't scare it, the cat understands it. Brake crouched on the ground and stroked Benny's back, "Why are they staring at you, do you think it's time to eat?" ”

"What kind of food, you just ate it half an hour before you came. After eating Benny, he hid in the closet, don't tell me, it probably really understands what I'm saying. "I half-squatted and gently let the black dog to the ground, like a soft white cloud in the sky.

Benny said that his little watch was pointing to the point of supper. "Brakes raise an eyebrow.

"What kind of small watches, who bought the small watches, where did the private money buy the small watches, all of them will be confiscated. "I hum.

"Hahaha, Benny said, this is a gift from the tide master, no money. The brakes actually rounded Benny's stalk at the moment, "You bring the cat bag, I'll tease Benny with food, and I'll catch him if I'm unprepared." ”

"You're carrying a little bit of it," I pulled out a new can of cat from the cupboard, pulled the ring, and handed it to the brakes, "Slow down, I'll come when I go." ”

Dad happened to be holding a rag and walked into the kitchen.

I went into the bedroom, and the cat bag was sitting on the floor obediently, but it had been sitting for a week, and it was dusty. Originally, I was an informal, sloppy fellow, but this brake was just waiting on the sidelines, and if he found out about my shortcomings, wouldn't he have to laugh and be generous?

I didn't want to go to the kitchen to get a rag, so I had to rummage through the cabinets, find the unused wipes, pull out one, and carefully wipe the dust off the outside of the cat bag. This can't just be superficial, so I took out another wet wipe, wiped the inside, and then found a pet urine pad, and padd it evenly. Finally, I checked it out, and then confidently carried my bag and headed to the kitchen.

Before I even entered the door, I listened to my dad and brakes chatting, and I quietly, leaning against the wall and eavesdropping, not even daring to breathe.

"Xiao Cheng, you have to take good care of my baby in the future," yes, now I call Xiao Cheng directly and affectionately, I am moving my mouth with a grunt, making a strange face, you just knew someone for an hour, and you sold your daughter, "I heard a piece of advice, man, when you should let a woman, you have to let this, don't make her angry." This woman is so angry that the eight troikas can't pull it back. ”

I'll see my mother come back, and I won't divide your five horses. I hummed, and suddenly understood that deep down, I always felt that my mother was playing a petty role, going to my mother's house for a while and coming back, and I would not really fulfill my promise before college and divorce my father as soon as I graduated.

"At some point, you have to recall how diligent you were when you were in love. It's okay to be lazy, make money, live, it's not easy for everyone. But, don't just think about being lazy, you don't want to do this, you don't want to do that, and for the sake of the so-called male dignity, you put the responsibility on your shoulders to women. In life, it's normal to have a fight, but you have to take things as you go, don't think that a woman scolding you is rising to your personality, and inexplicably initiating a temper will one day, it will smooth out her patience and confidence. Dad's voice paused for a long time before he continued, "You, don't learn from me, I'm old, and my wife is still at her parents' house and refuses to come back." Even if you are not with my daughter in the future, don't forget what I said today. ”

Instead of answering the question directly, Brake said, "Then you go to her." ”

"What about my job here, what about my life here?" said my father, losing his confidence.

"In this relationship, there is always someone who runs and someone who chases. When you were as old as me, you had this momentum to pursue, how could you be a hero in the twilight of your time, but you forgot this truth. Brake laughed.

"Haha, where is marriage so easy. ”

Dad used to be a half-sized guy who was as caring as a brake, and Mom was not a little girl like me, full of anxiety and longing for love. They have a shallow taste of love, and a fierce son plunges into the wavy-wide river of marriage, ups and downs, stumbling, and gradually being pulled into the whirlpool by ordinary reality and trivial mundane things, and loses patience and hope in this quarrel between the other.

I stood outside the door and let out a sigh.
