In September of Green Island, the rainy season has passed, although the weather is not said to be sunny every day, but it will not be like July and August, it will rain at both ends for three days, as long as the weather is okay, Chen Anxiu is used to getting up every morning to open the windows in front and back of the house for ventilation, the cool mountain breeze pours in, the curtains dance with the wind, the books on the table turn over the ground, and a few small plush toys that are bubbling up on the kang are blown to the ground.

There was no one in the bedroom, Chen Anxiu went out, Zhang Shinian was taking a bath in the bathroom, he was washing up and was going to the toilet, as for the risk, he was ...... Squatting outside the toilet door and waiting, he used to stick to his brother, but because he can't walk, he is not at the point of following the fart, since he can walk, he is now promoted to become a real fart, where his brother goes, he doesn't say where he goes, he even has to follow tons to the toilet, and he can't stand him anymore, so he shuts him out of the door when he goes to the toilet.

My brother went in for a long time, but he didn't come out yet, and he squatted outside the door and peed a little. After urinating, he looked down, took a step back and stood up, walked to the toilet door, and slapped the door with a small meat.

"No more, no less, exactly a pound. The aunt who sells fritters pulls two thatch leaves and strings the fried dough sticks that weigh Hao, ties a knot on the top, and carries them over.

"Look, auntie, I put the money in the box. ”

"See, just put it there. ”

Chen Anxiu came back from running, the small stalls selling breakfast in the town were put out one after another, he hooked the rope of the fritters and walked forward, planning to buy something more, no rice is planted near the green island, the village used thatch when rubbing the rope earlier, this kind of thatch is a lot on the mountain, a clump, the growth of the good can be higher than the head, the leaves are long and tough and very strong, forged, hanging a three or five catties of things is not a problem, now plastic bags are very common, but many people in the town are still used to using this kind of thatch leaves to bolt things.

When he was at the spicy pot stall on the side of the road, the stall owner who knew him in the same village greeted him, "Brother, these vegetables, meat, and fish are all just taken out by me today, they are very fresh, do you want to try them?"

The spicy pot is just fashionable in the town in the past two years, all kinds of meat and vegetables are mixed in the stir-fry, because it is convenient, there are still a lot of people who support the party, at this time there are a few kinds of dishes on the long table behind the stall, the prices are marked, and the top is also covered with a layer of gauze net.

Seeing that Chen Anxiu was interested, the man said more enthusiastically, "Brother, there is still in the store behind, what else do you want, you can pick it in the house." He rubbed his hands and smiled in greeting, but he always stood one step away from Chen Anxiu.

Chen Anxiu just didn't pay attention, and said with a smile, "No need, there are quite a lot here." He picked out some enoki mushrooms, tofu skin, crispy bones, chicken and lotus root slices, and finally said, "It doesn't need to be too spicy, just slightly spicy, the children dare not eat it." ”

"Okay, okay, you wait a minute, and you'll be fine right away. His movements are very quick, brushing the pot, pouring oil, grabbing vegetables, and he can also take the time to chat with Chen Anxiu, "The sun is really good recently, I look at the celestial forecast and say that we will have a sunny day here during the week." ”

"yes, it's a nice day. "I hope this is a good sign, everything will go well to Linjiadao today, and it is not easy to be together again after 30 years of separation, but listening to what my mother told about my brother-in-law's previous affairs, it seems that it is not easy for my grandfather and grandfather to accept Uncle Lu, and at this time, my eldest uncle and second uncle are also at home.

When paying, the stall owner was polite and accepted it, but he wiped the change.

The stall owner's daughter-in-law was newly married to Chenjia Village this summer, and when she didn't know Chen Anxiu at first, she had heard a lot of things about this person, and she always felt that all that kind of person was psychologically abnormal. ”

"What can be the problem, it's not a nose and two eyes. The stall owner looked around and said in a low voice, "However, when I talked to him, I felt a little uncomfortable when I remembered that he liked men." ”

"What are you uncomfortable about, Chen Anxiu just likes men, and he doesn't look down on you like this, haven't you seen the man who lives in his house? ”

The stall owner laughed and scolded, "I said how do you speak, do you bury your husband like this? But what you said also makes sense, Chen Anxiu's family has such a good person, it is estimated that he can't look down on anything else, I have to change this problem in the future, it is purely self-inflicted." ”

The little couple laughed and laughed, and when they saw other guests coming, they stopped talking.

*

Of course, Chen Anxiu didn't hear these conversations, but he could also feel that the attitude of the people in the town towards his family had changed a little, although he didn't say that he was accepting, but he wouldn't dodge his eyes when he met, and time could dilute a lot, but before time was diluted, he hoped that he could do more things so that everyone at least didn't reject it so much, he was okay to say, but his parents had lived here for most of their lives, they were old, and they had to live in the colored eyes and gossip of others, these were all brought by him, how could he be at ease and turn a blind eye。

He can't forget that his father got the pair of yellow finches before, and he went to the east and west, just to invite people to come over to drink tea and watch the birds, which had to be put in the past, and his father did not come forward at all, those people had already taken the initiative to come to the door when they heard the news, and his father had always been a friend and liked to be lively, so it was difficult for him to spend the past two years coldly.

I thought about something I didn't have all the way, and I soon got home.

"I'm back, I bought fritters and spicy pots, and eat breakfast in the yard, it's really cool. Chen Anxiu shouted twice and no one answered, so he staggered out of the house. He put the vegetables he bought on the wooden table in the yard, squatted down and squeezed his hand and said, "Daddy, Daddy will feed you later." ”

As soon as he heard that he was very happy to eat, he was about to go to the kitchen, but Chen Anxiu grabbed him and said, "If you don't call Dad, you won't have anything to eat." ”

Shaking his head, I don't know if Lu Dao thought about it, or held back his strength, and finally called, "Dad......" Although it is not so clear, but Dad's sound is correct.

"Good son, what an obedient man. Chen Anxiu was overjoyed, hugged Mao Mao and kissed him on the face several times, "I'll give you a piece of meat later." He put Mao Mao on a small bench in the yard, "You sit here, Dad goes to the kitchen to serve food." ”

He had boiled porridge in the kitchen before he went out, and some quail eggs had been steamed on the upper cage drawer, which would have been ready, and he took them out and plucked them in cold water. Holding on to the door frame, the two little fat legs carefully stepped over the threshold and came in, walked behind Chen Anxiu, grabbed his pants, and giggled.

Chen Anxiu lowered his head, touched his head and said, "Didn't you let you wait outside?

"Ah...... Ah......h

"Are you hungry?" Chen Anxiu pressed the quail egg twice in the bowl and fed him some first.

This chapter was also packed up and stopped, and came over to help serve pots and chopsticks, and packed the fried dough sticks and vegetables bought.

The family had breakfast in the yard, Chen Anxiu drove home first, after calling his uncle yesterday, he said to his parents again, his mother said that there was something for him to carry to go, Uncle Lu went down the mountain overnight last night, and the two made an appointment to meet at ten o'clock this morning and then go over together, it is less than an hour's journey to Linjia Island, and it is just right to come over before eleven o'clock.

When Chen's mother went down the mountain, she bought some clothes and shoes for the two old people to wear in autumn, "As for the shoes, I look pretty much the same, but when you get there, you let your grandparents try it first, and if it's uncomfortable, take it back, and I'll change it." ”

Chen Anxiu agreed, helped put the things in his bag, put them in the car, and discussed with his mother, "Mom, why don't you go with you?" Aren't you planning to go to see your grandfather in the next two days?"

"I'm not going today, you and you...... Uncle Lu said, let him put down his body a little, no matter what ugly things your grandfather or two uncles say, just listen first, with you and your brother-in-law here, others will not do anything to him, it was not your uncle who was sorry for him back then, and he should be a little angry today. Although she didn't know what was going on, her brother's temper was still understood, and since she had come to that point, she wouldn't turn around and dump people.

"Okay, Mom, I'll talk to him. He looked at his watch, and the time was almost up, "Mom, if you don't go, then I'll go first, and I also have something to bring for grandma and them, Mao Mao and tons of them are at home." ”

"Aren't the three of them going?"

Chen Anxiu had already gotten into the car, and when he heard his mother say this, he replied, "At a time like today, let the child follow to make trouble." ”

Chen's mother got closer and said, "Let me tell you what's good, it's not just a mess to let the children follow, you should take them with you, maybe Lu Jiangyuan can be beaten less." ”

Chen Anxiu thought to himself, "Then I know the way, Mom, you go into the house, I'll take the three of them with me." ”

Chen's mother shook her head helplessly, watched him leave, patted the soil on his body, turned around and walked home, thirty years, the Changning who was covered with injuries, holding his stomach, curled up in the corner, the one who secretly hugged her and cried, said Sister, I don't want this child's Changning, the Changning who is in Ningshi, occasionally looks at his stomach and loses his mind, the Changning who lost the child and stubbornly refuses to ask more, those seem to be in front of him, but thirty years have passed like this, and he is so strong.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for a man to be with a man, but after going around in such a big circle, Changning still chose Lu Jiangyuan, maybe this is fate. The four of them are brothers and sisters, in the eyes of others, Changning is the most promising one, he studied well since he was a child, he was admitted to university in that era, and then he went abroad to study as a professor, all the way to live in the envious eyes of others, but now they have their own homes and children, Changning is still a lonely one, it is better to have Lu Jiangyuan to accompany him, she can be a sister who can want to open, and her father and mother and two brothers will always want to open it.

*

It was not yet ten o'clock when Chen Anxiu returned to the small restaurant, but Lu Jiangyuan had already arrived, and the trunk was full of gifts with him, he didn't have time to look at them clearly, but just looking at this amount, it was enough to smash people.

"Zhuang Zhuang, I've bought all the things you said, do you think there's anything else that needs to be added?" Lu Jiangyuan's performance was quite normal, but Chen Anxiu sensitively noticed that he was still a little more cramped than before, and he had already asked this question for the second time, and the person concerned obviously didn't realize this.

Chen Anxiu was embarrassed to break it, so he replied again, "No, it's already a lot, Uncle Lu, my grandfather and grandfather are not such difficult people to get along with, they all have good tempers." ”

Some time ago, he went up the mountain to shoot wild boars with people a few times, and there were still a lot of wild boar meat left in addition to the small restaurant for cooking, so he picked three large pieces from the freezer, packed them in bags, tied them tightly, put them in a plastic box, and barely stuffed them into the trunk.

Zhang Shinian received a call from Chen Anxiu, and came over with tons and mao mao who had changed his clothes, Lu Jiangyuan heard that Zhang Shinian was going, and his heart was a little strange, he was already mentally prepared to be beaten and scolded today, it is one thing to be seen by his son, and it is another thing to be seen by Zhang Shinian, "You want to go too?" He asked Zhang Shinian in a low voice, which means that you don't have to go.

Zhang Shinian glanced at the tons and horses who had climbed into the car, and whispered back to him when he passed by, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will remain silent and ignore at the appropriate time." ”

Lu Jiangyuan snorted, "It's better to be like this." ”

Zhang Shinian bowed slightly, "This is as it should be." ”

In fact, Lu Jiangyuan really wanted to beat Zhang Shinian, and his face was clearly dangling, waiting to see a good show.

Even if Chen Anxiu couldn't hear the content of the conversation, he knew that it would be no good for the two of them to get together, so he adjusted the seat, and then said to Ton Ton, "It's not too early, call you Grandpa Lu and Big Dad to get in the car." ”

On the way to the car driven by Chen Anxiu, Zhang Shinian sat in the co-pilot, Lu Jiangyuan sat in the back seat with Mao Mao and Ton Ton, this time I went to Linjia Island, the most Lu Dao didn't know how the road was, no one was in a good mood to laugh, finally they all came over in the wind and waves, and they didn't show too much anxiety in their hearts, Lu Jiangyuan also taught Mao Mao to shout grandpa, but this obviously overestimated Mao Mao's talent, after Mao Mao jumped two sounds similar to teeth, he yawned and fell asleep in his arms, until he stopped the car and entered the house and didn't wake up。

Chen Anxiu has two cousins, a cousin, a cousin, of which the cousin and the eldest cousin are from the uncle's family, cousin Lin Haijuan has been married for many years, the eldest cousin Lin Haicheng opened his own seafood store in the city, and the second cousin Lin Haibo has a girl named Jin Jin at home with the same age as Ton Ton, a few years ago he took the whole family to Ningbo to do business, and the only one who is not married Lin Haishuang opened his own travel agency, these people generally can't come back on weekends, which is one of the reasons why Chen Anxiu chose to come on weekends。

Only the old couple of the Lin family and Lin Changning were at home, and Lin Changning went out to greet the people, and when he saw Lu Jiangyuan, he didn't say anything, so he took the one who was asleep in his arms and put it in the house.

"Grandma, grandpa. ”

"Grandma, grandpa. ”

Entering the courtyard, Chen Anxiu's family went over to say hello first, and Lu Jiangyuan also shouted Uncle and Auntie.

"You're the classmate Changning said, right?" the old man asked.

As soon as Chen Anxiu heard it, he knew that Uncle Lu Dao hadn't explained the situation yet, so he said that why was Grandpa so calm when he saw Uncle Lu.

Lu Jiangyuan took the initiative to hold the person and responded, "Yes, uncle, I am a college classmate in Changning." ”

The old man was obviously very happy, took Lu Jiangyuan's hand and asked, "It's a college classmate from Changning, are you from Beijing?"

"Now I'm living over there. ”

"Beijing is a good place, the capital, sit in the house, sit in the house, it's very sunny outside, on the seaside, it's like this in summer, as soon as the sun comes out, you panic. ”

Just when Chen Anxiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had finally entered the door smoothly and was not beaten out, he heard his grandmother say, "It looks decent." He put down half of his heart and hung again, what did grandma mean by this?

The old man is rare grandchildren, and the old lady didn't let go when she saw Ton Ton, and asked with concern, "Ton Ton, it's very hot on the road, I boiled cold powder, put it in the refrigerator for a while, and it should be able to eat." Xiao Zhang also sat down in the house quickly, Zhuangzhuang, you go to the refrigerator and bring it out to them, and take a bowl for them to eat. ”

With a great-grandson, the grandson is worthless to run errands, "Okay, grandma, I'll go." ”

In the summer of Green Island, many places in the streets and alleys have seaweed jelly to sell, if there is kung fu, there are also their own home boils, the old lady often makes her own in summer, with the dried winter vegetables that are picked back from the bottom of the sea after the autumn of last year to boil, boiled with the same jelly as the jelly, QQ, very elastic.

Chen Anxiu cut it, put it in a bowl, mix it with some home-pressed peanut chili sauce, pour some soy sauce, vinegar, sprinkle with chopped coriander and salt.

The two old men didn't know the identity of Lu Jiangyuan, Lu Jiangyuan, although it was the first time to come to the door, it was inevitable that he was a little apprehensive, but dealing with this kind of scene was not a problem for him at all. 、

However, the string in Chen Anxiu's heart did not relax because of this short-term harmony, and what lingered was the feeling of tranquility before the storm. Zhang Shinian knew what he was worried about when he looked at him, and at an angle that others couldn't see, he reached out and patted Chen Anxiu's back, signaling to relax.

Chen Anxiu's two aunts came to Zhang Luo's dishes, and the two uncles brought a lot of wine, beer, and white, the Lin family's alcohol consumption is naturally good, even Lin Changning, who has never drunk much, is not a problem to come to half a catty and eight taels of white.

Lin Changshun poured wine for Lu Jiangyuan, "Our family is not strong enough to drink, at most two bottles of beer will be put down, this is really not like the people of the Lin family......" Chen Anxiu and Lin Changning recognized each other, the people outside were not clear, the people at home were all knowledgeable, Lin Changshun drank some wine, and he was at home again, talking and talking, and he didn't pay attention to talking about it.

His daughter-in-law kicked him next to him, signaling that there were outsiders here.

Lin Changshun was not drunk yet, and after speaking, he knew that the road was broken, and he wanted to come back a little stiffly, "Well, well, Zhuangzhuang's alcohol volume is not like his mother at all, it is estimated that it is like his father." God knows that his brother-in-law's amount of wine is enough to fill him and his eldest brother, which is really against his will, but it is also strange, who knows who is the amount of wine in Lu Dao, and the whole family can't pick out such a bad one.

Lin Changning took a sip of wine, others didn't know, he knew the way, and noticed that Lu Jiangyuan had already finished drinking two glasses, and when the second brother was about to pour it, he stretched out his hand to stop it, "Second brother, he can't drink too much, don't pour it." ”

Lin Changshun was surprised, "It's only two beers, it's not the same as drinking water." ”

Lu Jiangyuan said with a smile, "Second brother, I have about the same amount of wine as Zhuangzhuang. ”

Chen Anxiu hurriedly gave Lu Jiangyuan a few rounds, and Lin Changhe also said, "Okay, second, Jiang Yuan's alcohol consumption is not good, don't persuade him, this wine is too much and uncomfortable." ”

The two of them had a good first impression of Lu Jiangyuan, they looked like they were doing big things, but they didn't hold a stand at all, but they wouldn't really lose their sense of proportion, and let their younger brother be laughed at, so they stopped.

This lunch went well, except for Chen Anxiu, who didn't drink a drop of wine at the dinner table, the other men drank a little, and even the old man drank two cups of white, and the atmosphere was very lively.

There were no female guests this time, after the meal, the two aunts cleaned up the table, and planned to go back, Chen Anxiu divided the wild boar and Lu Jiangyuan's gifts between the two of them, and the eldest aunt saw this, and pulled him to the side to talk, "Zhuangzhuang, the meat you brought, I and your second aunt will take it, but what's the matter with these gifts? It doesn't look cheap, that person is your brother-in-law's classmate, and it's the first time to come to the door, how can we accept such expensive things?"

"Eldest aunt, second aunt, my brother-in-law knows about this matter, and he agrees, you can just accept it with confidence. ”

The two went back to greet their respective husbands, and went back with their things full of doubts, Chen Anxiu sent the two to the door, and when they came back, they heard Lin Changning say, "Zhuangzhuang, you go to my house to take a nap, I have something to say with your grandfather and uncle." ”

Chen Anxiu knew that this was for him to avoid, he nodded without objection, and in the same chapter, there were tons of tons back to the west house and brought it to the door. Lin Changning and the others went to the house where the two old men lived in the east, and there was a lobby room in the middle, even if Chen Anxiu's ears stretched out as long as a donkey's ears, he couldn't listen carefully to the movements in the house, and the more he didn't listen carefully, the more anxious he became.

Tons of tons lying on the kang and laughing, Zhang Shinian pulled him back, "Okay, okay, it's time to give them some time to talk about it, it's really going to start, it's not too late for you to rush over to save people, grandpa and uncle don't have guns in their hands, it won't really be too late." ”

Chen Anxiu also knew that he was in a hurry, kicked off his shoes, rushed over to Tonton, hugged the person, and pressed him tightly under him, Tonton was pressed by him and panted, struggled hard, and whispered to Zhang Shinian for help, "Big dad help, drag dad away." ”

Zhang Shinian hugged Chen Anxiu's waist from behind and hugged the person, and tons of tons were able to be freed, and crawled to Mao Mao's side with his hands and feet, Mao Mao Pig was still asleep on the side, and he didn't wake up at lunch, "My stomach was a little uncomfortable this morning, and when I got up to go to the toilet, I woke up when I heard Mao Mao." ”

Chen Anxiu stretched his waist and leaned on Zhang Shinian and yawned, "He didn't sleep much last night, he didn't sleep like he took stimulants, he couldn't sleep no matter how he coaxed him, he crawled on the kang from east to west and drove the car for half the night, I was so sleepy that I really wanted to kick him out of the window." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked Zhang Shinian behind him, "What time did he sleep later?" He fell asleep, and Zhang Shinian was with him.

"It's almost two o'clock when I go to bed. ”

"I slept at two o'clock, I woke up at six o'clock, no wonder I sleep like a piglet now, you can sleep too, it is estimated that I can't finish it for a while and a half, if it really doesn't work, I will live here tonight, leave early tomorrow morning, the tide will ebb at five or six o'clock in the morning, and the time will be in time." ”

In this room, Chen Anxiu's family closed the door and fell asleep quietly, and the room was not very peaceful.

"Changning, what are you talking about?" Lin Changshun slapped the table and stood up, trying his best to suppress the anger in his whole body, so as not to let himself roar, he pointed at Lin Changning, and then at Lu Jiangyuan, "You and him...... You're going to ...... with him."

Lin Changning stood at the door, his expression was very calm, "Second brother, I have already decided, I am ready to be with him." ”

Lu Jiangyuan came this time, firstly, because he had long wanted to come over to visit the second elder, and secondly, he did not force Lin Changning to face up to the relationship between the two, as for whether he would find out the relationship this time, he was not too persistent, but he didn't expect that it was Changning who took this step first, and he didn't give anyone time to buffer when he entered the house, so he directly broke the matter. He held Lin Changning's hand, Lin Changning struggled for a while, and didn't break away, so he didn't continue.

But this action directly stimulated Lin Changhe, who had not spoken, the temper of these two brothers followed their father's temper, and they dared to dare to do it, but their tempers were not good, now they are all fifty or sixty people, and they have converged a lot, but now when they hear that their younger brother is going to take the old road again, they are all angry, "Changning, did you not suffer enough losses back then, or what, the last one, who did you leave, you are not too old now, what's wrong with finding a woman to live well, what are you tossing now?"

The two brothers said a sentence to each other, and the old lady looked at Lu Jiangyuan and didn't speak, as if she was assessing something, but the old man shouted, "You two shut up, our old couple is still alive, what do you two want to do?

The two of them knew that the old man was beating up and couldn't reply, and they were afraid that they would make a big deal out of their popularity, so they sat down again.

Lu Jiangyuan was just about to open his mouth to explain, but the old man waved his hand and said, "You two listen to me first, I know what to say, I want to say no, you must think I am an antique, but you have also seen it, Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaozhang We also recognize it, but at your age, Lu Jiangyuan, you also have children at home, can they accept Changning?"

"He can take it. ”

"Lu Jiangyuan. Lin Changning scolded him in a low voice, if Lu Jiangyuan dared to say what happened back then, he would definitely have no fruit to eat today.

The old lady's gaze shifted from Lu Jiangyuan to Lin Changning, Changning is now divorced, and she brought a man back to meet them for no reason, she knew that there was something strange about the Tao, but looking at Changning's attitude, it seemed that there was something more strange, could it be that this person was ......

"I'm a strong dad. As if he was afraid that others would not hear clearly, he said again, "Zhuang Zhuang is Changning and my son." ”

When the old lady heard this, she finally spoke, "You are the one who bullied Changning that year?"

"It's true that I'm sorry for Changning. ”

"Changning, you let me tell you what is good. "I don't remember a loss once after a loss.

As soon as the old man heard that it was that person, he had no intention of reasoning with him.

*

Mao Mao woke up, maybe he felt hungry, so he crawled over and licked his father's face, licking Chen Anxiu's face with saliva, Chen Anxiu was so sleepy that he didn't want to deal with him, but he couldn't stand this licking method, and he still remembered that Mao Mao didn't eat lunch, and forced himself to open his eyes, and when he opened it, he found that there was a fat face in front of him that was constantly magnifying, and when he was about to come again, he pushed the person away in time, sat up and patted his face to sober up, and then hugged Mao Mao over and pinched his mouth, and the two quietly went out。

The door over there was closed, Chen Anxiu couldn't see the situation inside, he put Mao Mao next to the door, Mao Mao lay on it, and the door opened.

"Excuse me, don't make trouble, grandpa they are talking here. Chen Anxiu followed up in a timely manner to catch the offence.

When the old man saw the child, he withdrew the crutches he was holding high.
