"You and your parents came back yesterday, are you tired of playing?" asked Chen Chi with concern.

"It's ok. ”

Xu Shuangxia had a tight Spring Festival this year. A few years ago, she traveled abroad with her parents, and she traveled all over Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

She is very sorry for her parents, she has not honored her parents well when she is so old, her marriage is not well managed, and she runs away again, which adds a lot of worry to them, especially her mother, when she called, she heard that she was herding sheep, and also collected firewood from children on the road to burn the stove, and snorted several times on the phone.

Xu Shuang didn't have anything to do with himself, it was just a hard and natural way of life.

But her parents thought she had fled the country to heal the pain of her marriage. She can't explain it, she really wants to find peace, but it's not just for marriage. Xu Shuangchuan thought that she couldn't let her parents feel sad when she came back for the Spring Festival, so she proposed that the family of three go out to play this year, and she would cover all the expenses, so that she could be filial.

This reminded Xu Manting and Xuan Chunhua that this year is different from previous years. In previous years, the couple went to relatives during the Spring Festival, but their daughter and son-in-law did not follow, and the relatives knew that Xu Shuang had gone to her mother-in-law's house. This year, Xu Shuangchuan followed them alone to relatives, the east family ate the west family, and the east family asked the west family to ask, which inevitably aroused the sadness of the daughter.

As soon as the husband and wife combined, Xu Manting asked Xuan Chunhua to talk in front of his relatives, saying that the old nest did not move at home these years, and the couple wanted to go out for a walk, and they would not leave anywhere this year.

Chen Chi was busy with work a year ago, and remembered Xu Shuangxia's itinerary, but her phone calls were always difficult to make, and when she got through, she said that she hadn't decided when to come back. The three members of the Xu family all boarded the plane, went out of the country, and got off the plane, he was still waiting for Xu Shuangchuan to tell him about the time to go home, and was ready to buy flowers to pick it up.

This year, for the first time since Chen Chi grew up, he felt boundless loneliness in laughter, nothing to eat, and few fireworks to watch.

Last year was better, although the next few days had to cover up the fact that Xu Shuang ran away, but at least the first few days were cheerful, and Chinese New Year's Eve was also a reunion. In fact, the next few days were secretly panicked and full of vitality, unlike this year, which is really deserted. At the dinner table, his mother had just recovered after the operation, he didn't eat much, and his father still didn't talk much, and he had already made it clear in front of him that he would never give him Zhang Luo's marriage again. The little aunt and uncle must have muttered about Gu Siya's life events in previous years, this year I was afraid that he would be sensitive and sad, so I didn't mention a word in this regard, Gu Saya went out with fireworks and firecrackers, this time she volunteered to light the fire, and surrounded him before and after the saddle to grab work, although he never mentioned the reason for the divorce, she guessed a little clue, and said to him in a panic, brother, I didn't think about this, what should I do.

Chen Chi finally saw Xu Shuangchuan at the end of the holiday, sat down at the moment, stared at Xu Shuangchuan carefully, since he looked for her, they have not seen each other for more than two months, and when Xu Shuangchuan leaves tomorrow, it will be four or five months without seeing anyone.

"Frost Frost...... I'll cook for you, it's cold in winter, so let's eat early and eat longer. I bought some food in the morning, and it happened that our induction cooker was taken out, and we made our own small hot pot to eat. ”

"I have something to do. ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Chi said busily, "Mom and Dad, you can call and talk about it, after eating, warm up, and I will send you away when you want to leave." ”

“…… I had a blind date. ”

Chen Chi half opened his mouth, looked at Xu Shuang, and it took a long time before his Adam's apple rolled a little: "Oh." Xu Shuang's calm expression suddenly stung him, and he lowered his eyelids and looked at the pillowcase. This pillowcase, the stitches on the edge look really bad, the needle man tries to sew into a straight line, but it is still inevitably crooked and undulating, so clumsy that people can see that there is indeed only the rough craftsmanship of sewing burlap bags. The lattice of the fabric was originally bright, he had used it for a while, and then hid it at the bottom of the box for so many years, it faded and yellowed, and there was a faint smell of aged mothballs.

Chen Chi stood up with his pillowcase, turned around and walked to the window, he didn't know what to say, just looked out in silence.

"I pushed. ”

He turned his head suddenly, and Xu Shuang on the sofa was very quiet: "I'm going to go back to school soon, and I don't have time to develop if I like it." ”

Chen Chi sucked in his throat in one breath, stopped for half a beat, couldn't swallow and couldn't exhale, and couldn't express his mood for a while, so he spit out a word dryly: "Okay." ”

"Besides, I'm not sincere now, and it's a waste of everyone's time to go. Xu Shuangchuan confessed.

"Life is not all about marriage. She said lightly.

Chen Chi was stunned, looked at Xu Shuangchuan carefully, and asked seriously for a while, "Shuangshuang, you said that without me, you are very relaxed, does our marriage make you feel tired?"

The big bay window in this living room is really beautiful, the winter sun is full of sunshine, Xu Shuangxia noticed that the roses placed in the corners of the windows on both sides are different, a bottle is like the silk flowers that Chen Chi bought before, and a bottle is a real fresh red rose, no wonder there is water in a bottle and no water in a bottle. Two bouquets of flowers leaned against the curtains, reflected by the sun, as if nesting in the large blue sky outside the window, taking a warm lunch break.

"No," she looked at Chen Chi, the man in a pale cyan sweetheart sweater, holding the old pillowcase she had sewn in his hand, she slowly shook her head and smiled, "It was good at first, very good, and then ...... Slowly it feels a little trivial. Her eyes fell on the cartoon cup in front of her, Chen Chi gave her a cup of cocoa milk, the smoke had dissipated, and the warm brown liquid surface was calmed by the circle wheel stirred by the spoon.

"I did some routine things every day, but the time spent seemed to be invisible, and then some other things popped up, I need to think about it, after all, it is two people with two heads, and every thing that must be asked, is to keep an eye on it, manage more, and not give others free space, if you don't ask, in fact, you will still think about it in your heart, and then it becomes stuffy in your heart and lacks the ability to actively communicate, just quarrel and throw things, and it seems that you can't do it well left and right. ”

She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Chen Chi, and said honestly: "So I said, you want to get back the old pillowcase, trying to keep in touch through this, or whatever, it's not very useful." I think it's good to be a person who only cares about himself, does his own thing, and doesn't have to worry about gaining or losing. ”

Chen Chi stood silently for a long time, suddenly walked over, sat down opposite her, stared at her, and said: "Shuangshuang, after I went to look for you last time, I came back on a business trip, took a small plane, encountered a strong air current, and the turbulence was very bad. After getting off the plane, many people desperately called and described the situation to their families, I actually didn't want to call, and when I saw others like this, I couldn't help but take out my mobile phone, but I couldn't call my parents, and I said it for no reason.

"I want to say to you. ”

"Your phone has no signal, the person next to me was really noisy, I was very disappointed with the phone, I don't know why I was embarrassed, I was thinking, I just said a few words myself, when you are on the other end of the phone, lest others think that I have no one to answer. ”

“…… Did you say that?"

Chen Chi stroked his face, laughed, exhaled, and changed the topic inexplicably: "Shuangshuang, in fact, you really did a good enough, you were thinking about protecting our family's things when we quarreled, I was quite careless, no wonder I made you feel uncomfortable." ”

"Huh?"

"You were so angry at that time, when you threw things at me, you paid attention to throwing them on the bed to cushion them first, but there were a few times when you didn't grasp the landing point well, and you jumped directly to the ground. I didn't even see it at the time, and I was annoyed with you. ”

Xu Shuangwan didn't expect Chen Chi to ridicule this, glanced to the side speechlessly, and picked up the cup of cocoa milk.

"Frost, I'll tell you about my plans. Chen Chi Zhengse said, "My dad said that if a person has a spouse, the one who accompanies him the longest in his life is his spouse, I envy my parents and your parents, I want to go to the white head like you." ”

"We have a deep emotional foundation. ”

Xu Shuang took a sip of cocoa milk and almost puffed on Chen Chi's face.

Chen Chi showed no signs of hiding at all: "I'm seriously trying to find a way to make you feel that marriage can still be looked forward to." The first time I was your boyfriend, I did it well, the first time I was your husband, I didn't do it well, but my heart is sincere, we can slowly correct our mistakes and learn slowly. Okay, okay? Don't separate. ”

Chen Chi's method is to think of a way seriously.

The plane was like a startled horse, bouncing up and down, and his parents were the only three names left in his blank mind.

The eldest brother next to him was so frightened that he was incoherent, holding his mobile phone in the airport hall and shouting: "What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, I haven't told you where I hid my private money, can I die?"
