Chapter 5

After the matter in City A was dealt with, Zhou Yongan and his wife came back with a box of ashes.

Zhou Yongning and his wife both signed a body donation before their deaths, but the fire directly turned them into ashes, and even the ashes were intertwined and could not be distinguished. There are too many accidents in life, and no one knows if tomorrow will be called by death.

Zhou Huaijing held the urn, kissed them gently, and told them that his parents liked the sea the most when they were alive, and he wanted to scatter them into the sea.

The Zhou family nodded and accompanied him to the beach.

The sea breeze blows from the surface of the sea, carrying with it a salty moisture. It was the prelude to the storm, and the wind was a bit strong.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yongan and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Huaixiu looked at him in the direction of the sea and opened the delicate box containing the ashes. Gusts of wind blew, taking away the ashes in the box little by little.

Zhou Huaijing looked at the ashes that passed away with the wind, and asked sideways: "Brother, is life always so impermanent?" ”

The clear young man's eyes were clean, and he seriously wrinkled his little nose and asked, which made people's hearts sour.

Zhou Huaixiu's hand touched his brother's head and helped him straighten out his hair that was ripped by the sea breeze. He slowed down and said softly, "Yes." No one can grasp it. Some people will cry over what has happened, some will worry about what is to come, but only today is something we can touch with our hands. ”

The boy looked at him ignorantly.

"Life is moody. Sometimes it smiles at you, sometimes it turns at you. When it smiles at you, you smile at it, it turns its face at you, don't be afraid, we are there for you. ”

Zhou Huaijing looked at him suspiciously, and asked again: "Brother, can you help me see, is it laughing now?" He struggled to express his thoughts, "I can't see it." ”

People have been trapped in this world all their lives, and how many people have indulged in it, longing that their every move can also make heaven and earth share sorrow and joy, but in the end, they find that we are all so powerless and insignificant.

The corners of Zhou Huaixiu's mouth tugged at a faint smile, his younger brother was so immature and simple, he didn't even know how to express his sad feelings, he was only surprised in a corner of the world - he couldn't see it laughing.

Of course he couldn't see it, because life had just put him in the cold ice, and he had lost a qiē.

Zhou Huaixiu secretly swore in his heart that he would never let his younger brother suffer a trace of grievance in the future.

Summer continues with a long heat.

In the middle of August, Zhou Huaixiu asked him if he wanted to go to school, Zhou Huaijing shook his head without hesitation and refused, and the matter of admission was temporarily stopped.

During this period, the piano bought for Zhou Huaijing was delivered, and it was the one at home. A small smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Huaijing's mouth, and Zhou Huaixiu, who had never seen him smile, flashed in front of his eyes, and was hit in his heart by the cute little tiger teeth and the shallow smile vortex at the corner of his mouth, and touched his brother's head again.

Zhou Huaijing adapted well in the Zhou family. The Zhou family arranged a series of travel plans for his condition. In the morning, he went out with the housekeeper to buy groceries at the supermarket in the community, which was not crowded and not afraid of crowds. In the evening, Mrs. Zhou would take her nephew for a walk outside and teach him to say hello to the person who greeted her.

The seventeen-year-old boy has clean eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and no one will not like it, and he will praise him when he is greeted.

When he went out one day, Zhou Huaijing saw a child who fell down on crutches, and he was at a loss and didn't know whether to go up to help. Mrs. Zhou noticed the change in him, and when he turned his gaze to her as if asking for help, she smiled and encouraged him to come forward. Zhou Huaijing paused, took a few steps, and helped the boy up.

The boy smiled brightly at him and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother." As he spoke, he took out three White Rabbit toffees from his pocket and handed them to him, "Dad said that others should give a thank you gift for helping him." I only have three left. He smirked.

The toffee was in the pocket, and it was already a little sticky and melting. Zhou Huaijing glanced down, took it from his palm, and thanked him softly.

The boy's father came in time and saw his son fall into the dust: "Xiaofan, did you hurt from the fall?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, I'm a man. Big brother just picked me up. He pointed at Zhou Huaijing and said.

The man turned his head and looked at the young man eagerly thanking him.

Zhou Huaijing lowered his head quite unnaturally, pursed his lips and did not speak.

After the boy was carried away by his father, Mrs. Zhou's sharp eyes saw Zhou Huaijing's thin red face, pursed her lips and smiled: "Is my Huaijing shy?" ”

Zhou Huaijing raised his misty eyes and slowly spread out his palms: "Auntie, eat sugar." ”

The candy wrappers of the three white rabbits were deformed by the softening of the sugar bodies, and now they are cherished in front of the boy.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so she picked one and put it in her mouth, but saw that Zhou Huaijing didn't eat it. "Why don't you eat it?"

He looked solemn: "I want to leave it to my uncle and brother." ”

Mrs. Zhou understood why her son always liked to touch his head so much, and now she couldn't help touching his head, the soft texture was too addictive.

The candy melted in her mouth, and Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "It's so sweet." I don't know if I'm talking about sugar, or if I'm referring to something else.

The end of August is Zhou Huaijing's birthday.

Mr. Zhou pondered, and went to the pet store with his wife to pick out a fluffy little erha.

In the evening, the family sang birthday songs to him and cut the cake together with the housekeeper, the driver, the maid, and the cook.

When opening the gifts, Zhou Huaixiu gave a video disc played by Zhou Yongning and his wife, and the housekeeper, driver and others also gave gifts.

It was the first time for Zhou Huaijing to receive so many gifts, especially when he opened the gift box handed to him by his uncle and aunt, and a little guy jumped out of it and threw himself into his arms, he was immediately caught off guard.

The little guy burrowed into his arms, wagging his tail excitedly and licking his chin, screaming.

Zhou Huaijing was licked and stiffly held it in his arms, afraid that it would fall to the ground as soon as it struggled.

Everyone looked at him with laughter, and when the little guy was caressed by his back and calmed down a little, he had to ask distractedly, "Does it have a name?" ”

"No, Huaijing will give it a name." Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "The little guy likes you very much." ”

Zhou Huaijing was stunned and said, "Just call Qiuqiu." ”

A round and chubby Erha ball screamed happily.

"Looks like it." Zhou Huaixiu teased it with his fingers, but the next moment he was bitten by a fat ball, but fortunately because it was small and had no strength, otherwise it would have to bleed.

This ball that robbed his younger brother with him as soon as he came, in many later times, made Zhou Huaixiu feel questioning "both Yu and Liang".

At night, the Zhou family had already turned off the lights. Zhou Huaixiu dealt with Wen Jiàn's rest late, and the water in the cup was cold, so he had to go downstairs to pour some water. As soon as I walked to the stairs on the second floor, I saw that the TV in the living room downstairs was lit up, and the sound was very small, and the video screen was the scene of Zhou Yongning and his wife performing on stage.

On the sofa, the teenager held the sleeping puppy and stared at the TV quietly.

A touch of distressed bitterness spread shallowly in the bottom of his heart, affecting his heart.

Zhou Huaixiu also watched and watched quietly, until the hand holding the cup was numb and the person in the sofa fell asleep, so he walked down lightly.

He picked up the ball in the boy's arms, carefully picked up Zhou Huaijing, sent him to the bedroom on the second floor, covered him with a quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt before quietly leaving.
