Chapter 23: Rebirth
Jiang Guangnai, as promised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Yan didn't stay any longer, and left.
Whose daughter, why do you weep?
It's just because my lover has lost a trace......
……
Zhou Yan remembers this, of course he remembers, and he must always remember!
This will be his home in the future.
"Uncle, come to me." Zhou Yan snatched back his backpack from Jiang Guangnai's hands.
Jiang Guangnai looked at his empty hands, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Is it just something?" ”
Zhou Yan didn't look at Jiang Guangnai's gaze, but just hummed softly.
"Go upstairs, your aunt has prepared a lot of delicious food for you!" Jiang Guangnai smiled and patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, and walked upstairs.
Zhou Yan'an was quiet, did not say anything, and only wanted to leave his own breathing and footsteps to the world.
"It's back!" As soon as the door was opened, a scent of incense came to my nose, which was the unique fragrance of beautiful things.
Although she was over 30 years old, she was still very beautiful, wearing a pink apron, and greeted her from the kitchen.
"Teacher Zhang......" Zhou Yan said hello very politely but very unfamiliarly.
Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Zhang Zhixin couldn't help but be a little stunned, but immediately, she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "What's the matter, come in and sit down, the dish will be ready soon!" ”
The kitchen was back to its previous heat, and the aroma wafted out more intensely than before, making people fascinated, and Zhou Yan's stomach also made a soft sound with interest.
Jiang Guangnai burst out laughing and asked, "But hungry?" Come, eat some fruit first, and wait for something delicious! ”
Took a well-ripened sesame banana from the fruit bowl on the table, peeled off the skin, and handed it to Zhou Yan.
"Thank you......" responded politely.
This banana is really ripe to the right place, without a trace of astringency, full of the sweetness of bananas.
The movement in the kitchen finally fell silent.
But what came out of the kitchen at the moment was something much better.
Zhang Zhixin used a large porcelain plate to hold all kinds of dishes, and successively moved from the kitchen to the long dining table.
Fried shrimp, pork knuckle in sauce, white-cut chicken, steamed crab, Sixi meatballs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a cup of old soup.
"It's time to eat!"
It's just three words, but who knows the secret behind it.
The glass goblet was polished through, but it didn't enjoy the treatment of a fine wine. The goblet is filled with brightly colored juice.
Zhou Yan and Jiang Guangnai are already seated, but why did Zhang Zhixin enter the kitchen again? Are there any dishes that haven't been cooked yet?
Suddenly, a smell with the fragrance of fruit and the slightest hint of cream entered Zhou Yan's nose.
I saw Zhang Zhixin slowly walking out of the kitchen, holding something in her hand, which was a six-inch cream cake.
"Happy birthday, Zhou Yan!" Zhang Zhixin said with a smile, as if she was a kind and kind mother.
Zhou Yan suddenly decided that his eyes were sour, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his throat, and it took a long time for him to reluctantly speak: "My birthday is on May 17th......"
Jiang Guangnai's big hand suddenly pressed on Zhou Yan's head, rubbed it a few times, and heard him say, "We know, but I still wish you a happy birthday!" ”
I don't know what the lights in the dining room turned off, and it was dark all around, except for the candle flame on the beautifully decorated cake, and the orange candlelight reflected on Zhou Yan's face, which finally melted the ice of the past into two lines of tears.
Birthday? Yes! Today is Zhou Yan's birthday!
Today is the day of Zhou Yan's rebirth, say goodbye to the new life ushered in by the past!
"Blow out the candles and make a wish." Only Zhang Zhixin, who still maintains a youthful face at such an age, would say such a thing.
Zhou Yan watched the red candles on the cake shed blood and tears one after another, decaying his body in this warm orange light, and finally closed his eyes and began to murmur softly, wanting to make his wish.
"I want to ......"
What do you want?
Not long ago, Zhou Yan was just an unattainable luxury even if he thought about it, but why did he feel so full in his heart today. It seems that there is no need to ask for too much luxury, so good!
"That's it, that's it!"
The wind, exhaling from the mouth, blew the flickering candle, and the candle flame at that moment showed its most glorious posture, and then went to perdition in this splendor.
"Happy birthday, Zhou Di." In his heart, he secretly said something to himself.
Jiang Guangnai raised his glass to congratulate, and Zhang Zhixin stretched out his chopsticks to distribute the dishes.
The juice tastes sweet and sour, and whether it's fried shrimp, white chopped chicken or pork knuckle in sauce, it is exceptionally delicious.
Zhou Yan had never realized that his taste buds were so smart, nor did he know that his stomach was so hungry.
All kinds of food and drink entered his stomach, but in fact, it really entered his empty and lonely heart for many years.
In the future, you will be very happy, right? He thought......
Say goodbye to the past and usher in a new life today!
It's rebirth! It's salvation from heaven!
