Burning candles, incense, and faint fires stretched from the street to both sides of the street like road signs. The gentle sea breeze gently swept the paper ash on both sides, flew and floated, and then scattered on the road.

On both sides of the road, you can occasionally see grandmothers and aunts scattered with braziers, burning incense and worshipping on the side of the street, chanting mantras. In this way, the atmosphere of the big night made Zheng Zhishang mistakenly think that he had entered the filming set of a horror movie.

It's not completely dark today, but compared to usual, the streets at this time are already a little deserted, and the uncles, grandfathers, and grandmothers who used to cool off on the streets are gone, and the children who chased and played after dinner are gone.

Even the pedestrians were in a hurry, without any stops. Occasionally, if I accidentally stepped on the candles, incense, black ash or something on the side of the street, I just stomped my feet, made a light "bah", and continued to hurry.

"Brother, why are you burning these things on the side of the road?" The little girl Lin Yu asked with a curious and confused expression:

"Give directions to those loved ones who are coming home at night."

On the 15th day of July, after dinner, why did he burn these things on the side of the road, Zheng Zhishang didn't understand at first, because in the 21st century in his previous life, he had never seen this kind of scene, and then he asked his aunt very curiously, and his aunt also told Zheng Zhishang about this at that time.

At night, children are not allowed to go out, and they go to bed early.

At that time, I didn't understand why I did this, but the old people said that this was the custom of this day, and they all came over like this, and they were worried that the children would be naughty and sneak out to play, and the adults also made up some ghost stories to scare the children, saying that this night, walking at night, will meet ghosts or something.

said it eloquently, so that the children who were originally careful and afraid of ghosts and gods were convinced, and they all stayed at home honestly and slept obediently.

Back at home, Grandma Huang has also prepared dinner, since growing up so much, this is still the most sumptuous traditional festival that Zheng Zhishang has ever had, it is even more sumptuous than the New Year, all kinds of fried meat rolls, sausages, it makes people's mouths water. The little girl Lin Yu has already lit up her eyes.

But it wasn't during this time that the little girl was completely forbidden to touch the barbecue, and even the old employees in the store such as Wang Qimei, who had always treated her well, didn't dare to secretly ask the little girl to eat anything like barbecue after Zheng Zhishang's explanation, so she could only drink juice to satisfy her hunger.

Although the food is abundant, Zheng Zhishang has no appetite, and he always recalls the days when he lived with Abba and Grandma, and the words and smiles of Abba and Grandma are like movies, showing in Zheng Zhishang's mind.

In those five years, although the family had a hard time, and it was rare to see meat on the table during the New Year's holidays, there were Abba and Grandma, and the family of three ate simple coarse food, but it was like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Zheng Zhishang also feels very happy.

I am also grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to be reborn, so that I can enjoy the love of my parents and the warmth and care of my family.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The little girl Lin Yu asked with low worry:

But no, thinking about it, my heart became sad, unconsciously, I didn't even notice the tears falling, Zheng Zhishang quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay, Yaya, eat less barbecue, drink more duck soup......"

"Oh" Lin Yu, the little girl, pursed her mouth sullenly, but she was also aggrieved. But I don't know if I regret calling Zheng Zhishang back to his senses.

"Xingxing, let's eat first, everything is ready......" Zheng Zhishang's thoughts, but he couldn't hide from Grandma Huang's eyes, looking at Zheng Zhishang, Grandma Huang was also full of sadness, and helped Zheng Zhishang wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes in distress.

After dinner, with the help of Grandma Huang, a small table was set up on the side of the road, on which some offerings were placed, incense was lit, Zheng Zhishang led the little girl Lin Yu, and kowtowed three times respectfully, sadly, and silently.

Although the little girl Lin Yu was full of puzzlement and confusion, she saw that Zheng Zhishang's face was not very good, so she didn't ask anything, and she followed Zheng Zhishang honestly and kowtowed obediently.

Putting Buddha Abba and Grandma in front of him, Zheng Zhishang burned things such as ingots and coins, and chattered at the same time, telling them about his life in the past six months, so that they could feel at ease. In the end, he smiled and said: "Abba and Grandma failed to burn a house for you last year, and when I go home next year, I will buy you a big villa for you to live in." ”

Looking at Zheng Zhishang, Lin Yu, a little girl with big eyes, was also very well-behaved at this time, quietly accompanying Zheng Zhishang, and kneeling silently beside him.

After the Midyear Festival, Zheng Zhishang quickly put away his emotions. In Grandma Zhong's family, after returning to the compound of the Chinese medicine hospital, Zheng Zhishang also resumed the daily life trajectory of the store, the Chinese medicine compound, and the home.

Although it was the end of summer, the weather did not mean to get cooler, as always, the air was getting drier, and the most obvious change was the little girl's skin.

The skin that was originally white and moisturized, during this time, it was also faintly dry, and even the calves were a little peeling. At the beginning, Zheng Zhishang thought that the little girl was uncomfortable somewhere? also took her to the hospital to find Dr. Zhong Jinzhen.

At that time, he was also laughed at by Dr. Zhong Jinzhen, saying: "The weather changes, and the air is dry in autumn, so just drink more water." ”

Hearing Zhong Jinzhen's doctor's answer, Zheng Zhishang was also embarrassed, he still lived two lives in vain, and he even forgot a little common sense. really responded to those few sentences, and the concern was chaotic.

Although Zheng Zhishang listened to Dr. Zhong Jinzhen's explanation every day and asked the little girl Lin Yu to drink more water, the little girl was also very obedient, drinking two large glasses of water every day to replenish the water in her body, but the little girl seemed to have almost evaporated the water in her body after a hot summer.

The dryness of the skin has not been relieved, and even the two pink lips are now a little chapped.

Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but think of lipstick, remembering that in the 21st century in his previous life, his lips were chapped, and he also used this thing, and he would get better soon. It's just this decade. It's hard to find even lipstick, let alone lipstick.

In the end, I found Dr. Zhong Jinzhen and helped buy a small jar of glycerin and smeared it on the little girl.

made the little girl's originally red, tender and cute little mouth full of oil. Let Zhong Tongqian, who saw it for the first time, think that the little girl had stolen barbecue or something again, and looked for Lin Yu with an angry face, and Xingshi asked: "Yaya, okay, you, don't call me sister when you eat barbecue." I hurt you in vain......"

"I, I didn't ......"

"No, what's the oil on your mouth?"

Facing Zhong Tongqian, although the little girl Lin Yu always seems to be the most stupid, she is not her opponent at all. However, this time it was about his own reputation, and Lin Yu still argued with reason, saying, "It was Brother who helped me paint it." ”

I don't know if Zhong Tongqian is too bored, or if she is idle, she actually ran to Zheng Zhishang again, asked for verification, and asked with a dissatisfied face: "Xingxing, don't you let Yaya eat barbecue?" Why did he secretly eat it for her again. ”

Zheng Zhishang was speechless for a while, glanced at Zhong Tongqian, and asked: "Who said that if there is oil in the mouth, you must have eaten barbecue." ”

was asked by Zheng Zhishang, the little girl Zhong Tongqian was also stunned, and knew that she seemed to be mistaken, but she was still a little stubborn and said: "Then what did you say?" ”

"Yaya's chapped lips a few days ago, you don't see it, it's glycerin, which is used to moisten the skin." Zheng Zhishang rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Sister Qianqian, if you want to eat it yourself, you can go to the store to eat it yourself, and no one will stop you." ”

"Cut...... Who said I wanted to eat barbecue......" was seen by Zheng Zhishang into his careful thoughts, Zhong Tongqian was a little weak-hearted, leaving Zheng Zhishang with the back of his head and leaving quickly.

It didn't take long to hear a "bang" sound from outside, and as soon as I guessed, I knew that Zhong Tongqian had sneaked out of the door again.

Zheng Zhishang heard the sound of the door closing, and couldn't help but get up and chase out, and saw the little girl Lin Yu, sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, gently shaking her little feet, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw the little girl smiling at Zheng Zhishang, and asked childishly, "Brother, are you tired?" Yaya will pour water for you......" said that he was about to jump off the chair and pour water for Zheng Zhishang.

Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, hurriedly went over, picked up the little girl and put it back on the chair, and said, "Sit down obediently, don't jump up and down in the future, it's easy to bump into it." It would be nice for Brother to come by himself......"

During the time when she was studying with Grandma Zhong, although Grandma Zhong also began to teach the little girl to read and draw, after all, the child was still too young, so only Lin Yu and Grandma Huang learned for half an hour every day to recognize words, count or something, and draw.

More time is still for her to play at home with Zhong Tongqian.

It's not that Zheng Zhishang doesn't pay attention to the education of the little girl, but he doesn't want the little girl to start reading and writing when she is only three years old, and she has not reached the age of reading and learning, and the main task is to play, and to understand the world in the process of playing.

Moreover, reading and writing too early is not a good thing for Lin Yu's growth, and it may be able to cultivate a genius child, but it imprisons Lin Yu's nature.

Looking at the little girl's big flickering eyes, Zheng Zhishang suddenly felt a little guilty and distressed.

Although the little girl follows her every day, she doesn't seem to have played with her for a day, all the time every day is full, in the morning office, in the afternoon and Grandma Zhong to learn tailoring, and when she returns home in the evening, she still reads books, and records the things in her past life memories in her notebook one by one.

Every day when I really accompany Lin Yu, except on the road, when I go to bed at night, I don't spend my time playing with the little girl every minute and every second.

Only when she arrived at Grandma Zhong's house, the little girl had Zhong Tongqian, the big sister, to take her to play together.

Although the little girl never said anything, Zheng Zhishang saw the little girl's big eyes.

At this time, Zheng Zhishang also vaguely understood why in the 21st century in his previous life, why he said that the children living in the families of successful people were actually not the luckiest. Parents are busy with work, so they naturally neglect their children, and children are actually very eager for the love and attention of their parents.

Sometimes it only takes the father to play with him for a while, and the child will be happy for days. As an orphan in his previous life, Zheng Zhishang and his understanding were realized. Haven't you always dreamed that you can have the love of your parents?

For Lin Yu, a little girl who has no parents, she is the only person she can rely on, and the little girl actually wants to spend some time and play with her for a while like Zhong Tongqian and tell stories.

It's just that the little girl is sensible, and she won't cry like other children, asking herself to play with her, and it won't affect her work and study. Always waiting silently, waiting for himself to be freed from chores, holding her little hand, and going home with her.

Maybe every day before going to bed, telling her stories and coaxing her to sleep is the happiest time for the little girl.

Although he has always been commensurate with the little girl Lin Yu's brother and sister, because of the age in his hesitation, Zheng Zhishang feels that he is the father of the little girl Lin Yu. It's just that he didn't do his duty as a father and ignored what Lin Yu needed most.

Not only patted the little girl's head with some guilt, but also looked at the little girl's bright and watery eyes, her voice was slightly hoarse, and said, "Yaya, why don't you go out with Sister Sissi." ”

The little girl shook her head and said childishly: "Sister Sissi won't take me there, girl, I know that she is going to the store to eat." ”

Looking at the little girl, Zheng Zhishang sighed secretly, pinched the little girl's nose gently, and said, "Be careful that Sister Qianqian knows, saying that you are a traitor and betraying her......"

As soon as she heard Zheng Zhishang's words, the little girl hurriedly covered her little mouth, blurred, and said, "Brother, you won't tell Grandma Zhong about it, will you?" "With big eyes, not to mention how cute it looks.

Zheng Zhishang gently pinched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother will help you keep this secret together." ”

"Brother, don't you want to make clothes?" The little girl looked up and asked:

During this time, Zheng Zhishang has been practicing needlework, and every day under the guidance of Grandma Zhong, he holds some cloth and exercises. So the little girl thought that Zheng Zhishang was making clothes.

"Well, Brother is tired, take a rest."

"Oh" Although the little girl still blinked her big eyes, from her long voice, Zheng Zhishang also clearly felt the loss in the little girl's heart.

picked up the little girl, sat on top of herself, and said with a smile: "What, are you bored?" ”

The little girl shook her head lightly, and said childishly: "No ......"

"Yaya, I'm sorry, Brother has been busy with his own affairs and has no time to play with you......" Zheng Zhishang said with guilt and apology:

"No, it's all Yaya's bad, so that Brother Ah has to be so tired every day, make money for Yaya to see a doctor, and buy food for Yaya." The little girl also drooped her head, and said with a look of self-reproach:

"Who told you ......" Looking at the little girl Lin Yu, Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but be stunned, turned the little girl's body over, gently raised the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Yaya, remember what Brother Ah said, you don't need to be grateful and guilty to Brother A, it's natural for my brother to take care of my sister, understand?" ”

"Hmm......" The little girl Lin Yu nodded lightly, her little arms wrapped around Zheng Zhishang's neck, and her head was buried in Zheng Zhishang's arms, muttering: "Brother, Yaya is very happy to meet you." ”

"Brother, it's the same." Gently patting the little girl's back, Zheng Zhishang said softly:
