When Xia Hong heard the letter and rushed over, he saw Qin Luoxun sitting under the locust tree, Qin Xiaoyu squatting beside his lap, the picture was so warm that people couldn't bear to destroy, couldn't help wiping their tears, and stood quietly at the door watching this scene.

Qin Luoxun saw Xia Hong first, patted Qin Xiaoyu's shoulder and got up to greet Xia Hong: "Sister-in-law, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, where did you say all these years?" Xia Hong's tears of excitement fell again.

Qin Xiaoyu helped Qin Luoxun's arm to stand up, and secretly moved his squatting calves.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu." Qin Luoxun didn't know how to express his gratitude and excitement in his heart.

Xia Hong waved her hand, wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "What's polite?" Xiaoyu is like my own daughter. As he spoke, he took Qin Xiaoyu's hand.

Qin Luoxun took a few steps back with emotion, and bowed deeply to Xia Hong: "Sister-in-law, thank you!" ”

"Don't make such a big salute, it's good that you can come back safely, Xiaoyu can be regarded as having a relative." Xia Hong said with a fever in her eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about these polite things, I didn't eat lunch, I brought some food over, I will have a meal here at noon, and then go back to the family home to eat in the evening." Xia Hong said and carried a bag of vegetables into the kitchen.

Qin Luoxun followed: "Sister-in-law, I'll come, I'll cook a meal for Xiaoyu." ”

Xia Hong originally wanted to say that the days would be long, but looking at Qin Luoxun's eager eyes, he put down the dish and retreated.

Qin Xiaoyu leaned against the door, looking at Qin Luoxun's neat chopping vegetables and meat, with tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth rose vigorously.

"Xiaoyu, do you eat green onions?" Qin Luoxun asked Qin Xiaoyu while chopping vegetables.

"Eat."

"Do you eat chili?"

"Eat, Dad, I want to eat that kind of fried sauce, which is to sprinkle some chopped green onions when it comes out of the pot." Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile.

The kitchen knife in Qin Luoxun's hand paused, and looked at Qin Xiaoyu lovingly: "Your mother also loves to eat such fried sauce." ”

Qin Xiaoyu smiled and nodded: "Well, Xia Hong's mother said that I am very similar to my mother, and my eating habits are very similar." ”

"When you're free, Dad often cooks for you, okay?" Qin Luoxun said expectantly, now that Qin Xiaoyu is married, he is afraid that he will not have a chance.

"Okay, Dad, I'll come back from school every Saturday to eat your cooking." Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Lunch was eaten under the locust tree in the courtyard.

Qin Luoxun mixed the sauce in the noodles well, and then handed the bowl to Qin Xiaoyu: "I haven't made it for a long time, can you taste it?" ”

Qin Xiaoyu took a sip of noodles, squinted and smiled, "Dad, this is the best fried sauce noodles I've ever tasted." ”

Qin Luoxun secretly breathed a sigh, and watched Qin Xiaoyu finish the meal, before he began to move his chopsticks and take a big bite of noodles.

After eating and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Hong helped Qin Xiaoyu take back the dried bedding again, and then took the two of them home.

Passing by the Pipe Street Hutong, Qin Luoxun insisted on letting Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Hong wait at the mouth of the alley, and he wanted to go in to see where his girl used to live.

Xia Hong looked at Qin Luoxun's lonely back and seemed to be walking into the depths of the alley step by step, before whispering to Qin Xiaoyu: "I heard your father say that your father was seriously injured at the beginning, and he was controlled by drugs for a long time, and he suffered a lot, and he only learned that your mother was gone last year, and he knew that you existed." He also said that depending on your father's state, if it weren't for your existence, I'm afraid I would go to your mother at any time. ”

Qin Xiaoyu's nose was sour: "Mom, I will persuade my father well, I think my mother must also hope that he will live safely and healthily, if there is an afterlife, I hope they will not experience turmoil, do not experience separation, and can love each other until they grow old." ”

"Well, if your dad is willing to live in the courtyard, you will go back to the courtyard to accompany your dad more in the future, and you can go home and see us when you have time." Xia Hong sighed.

Qin Xiaoyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers: "Well, I still want to wait for the summer vacation to accompany my father to see my mother." ”

"It's time to go and see it, bring your mother back, after so many years, it's time to return to the roots." Xia Hong looked at Qin Luoxun who slowly walked out of the alley.

Back at the family home, Qin Xiaoyu took Qin Luoxun to visit his room, and introduced the little squirrels to Qin Luoxun: "Dad, these are my good friends, they are very obedient and well-behaved." ”

They looked at Qin Luoxun, and suddenly jumped on the windowsill in horror, their little bodies still trembling.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with bouncing guys? Qin Xiaoyu was a little curious.

Jumping and squeaking: "That's him!" That's him! He ate our kind. ”

Qin Xiaoyu glanced at Qin Luoxun in disbelief, and seeing that Qin Luoxun's expression was calm, he bit his lip and didn't know how to ask.

Qin Luoxun looked at the little squirrel's nervous appearance, and said calmly, "Is it because I have eaten their kind?" ”

Qin Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide: "Dad, why are you eating them, they are cute?" Tears are about to come out as he speaks.

"In order to survive, Xiaoyu, this is the law of natural survival, if I don't eat them, I will starve to death, but the task on my shoulders is not completed, I must live." Qin Luoxun said in a low voice, looking at the frightened little eyes of a few little squirrels, and suddenly felt guilty.

Qin Xiaoyu pursed the corners of her mouth, not knowing what to say, and said for a long time: "Dad, let's go downstairs and talk to my parents for a while." Before going out, he looked at them soothingly.

When the two went downstairs, Luo Jingnian had already returned, and said to Qin Luoxun with a smile: "Actually, it's good that you live here, there are many rooms at home." ”

"No, I'll live in a courtyard house, where I'm comfortable."

Qin Xiaoyu saw that they were chatting happily, so he secretly went upstairs again, pushed open the bedroom door, and the family of four was gone, and the window was open......

"Where's the bouncing of them?" Qin Xiaoyu asked the big black cat with some panic.

"Let's go, your father has eaten the same kind of people, and people must hate you." The big black cat opened its mouth lazily.

Qin Xiaoyu explained in a panic: "It's not like this, my dad has no choice, if he doesn't eat, he will die, if there is a way, my dad will definitely not eat them." ”

The big black cat sighed: "This is the law of nature, it's all about survival, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Qin Xiaoyu sat next to the big black cat with his knees hugged: "Will they come back?" Will you forgive me? ”

"No, everyone knows that this is the law, just like I eat fish, isn't the fish quite innocent? But what can be done to survive? As long as you don't mean to hurt and torture. The big black cat looked at Qin Xiaoyu's sad appearance and began to comfort again.

Qin Xiaoyu sighed: "I hope they will forgive me and forgive my father......"
