There was a burst of happy laughter from outside the quilt. 3≠3≠3≠ read 3 ≠ books, .↗.o●

Song Cheng's palm patted on the quilt and said with a smile: "Get up, drink porridge first." ”

"Don't." I was like a gnat, and I really didn't have the face to see him.

"Hurry up, the porridge will be cold in a while." Song Cheng's palm slapped all the way back from the front of the quilt, just like teasing a puppy, and he had a lot of fun.

I had made up my mind to be a shrunken turtle, and no matter what he said, I wouldn't even stick my head out.

After a long time, Song Cheng's patience was estimated to be exhausted, so he directly grabbed the quilt and lifted it up, dragging me out of it.

I kept my head down, eager to retract my head into my stomach, and I didn't even dare to look at him.

A suppressed smile came out of Song Cheng's throat, and I immediately raised my head and glared at him rather annoyed.

He hurriedly stopped laughing and said righteously: "If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to think about me?" ”

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, dragged the table in front of me, picked up the spoon and ate it resignedly.

"That's good." He was still rambling on the sidelines, so angry that I slapped him on the head and blasted people out.

……

The eldest lady acted quickly and said that she would return to Song's house the next day, and early in the morning, she heard the sound of a car outside.

I was nestled in Song Cheng's arms, sleeping in a daze, and I woke up coldly, and quickly sat up.

Song Cheng wrapped his arms around my waist and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why are you going on such a cold day?" ”

I listened with my ears pricked up, coughed lightly, and said firmly, "It must be that the eldest lady is back." ”

"Hmm." Song Cheng replied nonchalantly, I quickly turned over, picked up my coat and draped it over my shoulders, and ran out in slippers.

When he passed in front of Xiaoman's children's room, he quickly pushed the door and took a look.

Xiao Man woke up early, and Sister-in-law He was taking him to play on it.

When he saw me come in, he immediately grinned and cried out crisply, "Mommy." ”

"Hey, good son." I pinched his fleshy cheek and instructed Sister-in-law He, "Quick, put on a coat for Xiaoman." ”

Sister-in-law He hurriedly took a warm down jacket and put it on Xiaoman.

I went downstairs with Xiaoman in my arms and asked softly, "Grandma came home today, is Xiaoman happy?" ”

Xiaoman probably didn't understand it yet, just smirked vigorously.

The inside of the house is as warm as April spring, but the outside is icy and snowy, and the Lunar New Year is about to be ushered in.

I put a hat on Xiao Man, surrounded him tightly, and was about to go out, when the eldest lady had already walked over.

Xiaoman is a lot bolder now, and when he sees strangers, he starts to dance, and he is so excited.

Seeing the eldest lady walking towards him, she immediately smiled like a flower, her eyes were almost squeezed together, and her small mouth was grinning, just like the doll in the New Year's painting, looking particularly festive.

"Oh, my good baby, I miss grandma." The eldest lady hurriedly handed the bag in her hand to the driver on the side, and said continuously, "Come into the house, it's so cold outside, don't freeze my grandson." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the child, thought about it, and shrank back again.

I was stunned for a moment and followed her into the house.

The eldest lady took off the windbreaker she was wearing and handed it to Mother Song, and then took off her gloves, and then reached out and hugged Xiaoman from my arms.

I couldn't help but smile slightly, it seemed that she was really interested in Xiaoman, worried that the cold outside would come to him, and she took off her coat before she was willing to hold the child.

I am almost confident that the eldest lady is really fond of Xiaoman.

The eldest lady sat on the sofa with Xiao Man in her arms, Xiao Man chatted, and began to tell people about his heavenly books again, and his two arms couldn't help it, and when he was happy, he had to raise it and gesture it.

I sat on the sofa opposite for more than ten minutes, and I didn't understand a word except "ahhhh

But the eldest lady was amused by him, and the two of them actually wonderfully "ahh

"Big lady," I quickly interjected while Xiao Man fiddled with his fingers, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and I want to take Xiao Man to see Song Liang." ”

The eldest lady froze for a moment, and raised her eyes to sweep me.

I cleared my throat and said calmly: "I don't know if you have time, if you're busy, then I'll ...... with Xiaoman."

"There's time, there's time." The eldest lady hurriedly agreed.

Probably thinking of Song Liang, her mood was not very high after that, and she laughed with Xiaoman for a few minutes, then got up and went upstairs, saying that she wanted to rest.

went to visit Song Liang, but he actually didn't have anything to prepare, so he bought two bouquets of flowers and changed into dark clothes.

On the day of leaving for the cemetery, Song Cheng happened to have something to do, so the three of us and the eldest lady's driver went over together.

The snow in the water and clouds has been cleared, and I don't feel how cold it is, and when I arrived at the cemetery, I looked at the white tombstones, which were connected one by one, and when I looked at it, under the thin sunlight, when the ice and snow melted, it almost reflected a dazzling light.

When the snow melts, it is the coldest time of the year, and the weather is so cold that it makes people feel a little uncomfortable even breathing.

I hugged Xiaoman in my arms, put on his hat, and even wrapped his scarf tightly, revealing only two big dark eyes, looking out curiously.

When she arrived at Song Liang's tombstone, the eldest lady placed flowers in front of his tomb and stood there with her body straight, not saying a word, just silently staring at the young man in the photo.

I felt a little embarrassed and sad in my heart.

A woman in her fifties came to visit her son, who died young, how can this feeling be clear in two words?

Xiaoman was much quieter than usual today, staring at the person in the photo, his eyes refused to blink, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head to look at me again.

"Xiao Man is good," I squatted down with Xiao Man in my arms, pointed to the person in the photo, and said word by word, "Come, call 'Big Dad'." ”

This is still something that I remembered when I went out today, if I called "Dad" directly, Song Cheng would definitely have a pimple in his heart.

But if you don't call it "Dad" and change your name to "Uncle", how can the eldest lady be happy in her heart?

Under the trade-off, we can only find a compromise name.

The eldest lady suddenly turned her head to look at me, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of her movements, but pretended not to know anything.

Patiently coaxed Xiaoman and said, "Come, tell Mom, 'Big Daddy'." ”

He had never taught Xiao Man to say such a thing before, and he obviously didn't understand, so he looked at me in a daze, and closed his mouth a little shyly.

I looked at him encouragingly and smiled at him, and Xiaoman immediately laughed along with me, and shouted in a crisp voice, "Dad." ”

As if she had been hit by a slight electric current, the eldest lady's body trembled violently, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Song Liang, but she just raised her arm and seemed to wipe the corner of her eye.

I was stunned for a moment, then laughed and corrected, "It's 'Big, Dad, Dad'." ”

Xiao Man also squeaked and laughed: "Big big"

I looked at him with tears and laughter, but he became proud and screamed "big and big".

I could only go with him, and asked instead, "Do you want to hug Xiaoman and talk to Song Liang?" ”

"Okay." The eldest lady handed me the bag in her hand, asked the driver to lay a waterproof carpet in front of the tombstone, and sat down with Xiaoman in her arms.

I nodded to the driver, who followed me to the side, leaving space for those who needed it.

Before going out today, the eldest lady specially put on makeup, the makeup was not particularly thick, but it covered her face, at least from the perspective of her face, I couldn't find out how sad she was.

However, the pain of losing a child, as long as you think about it, is like having a piece of flesh stripped from your chest, and no amount of subtle disguise can heal that pain.

When Song Liang died, Xiao Man couldn't speak, he always wanted to hear the child call him Dad, but unfortunately this wish never came true.

Now that the people are gone, I don't care so much about it.

If calling "Dad" can comfort the eldest lady, comfort Song Liang's spirit in the sky, and make Song Cheng's road back better, then call it.

This is not a loss for Xiaoman.

The only thing to worry about is ...... Song Cheng will not be happy in his heart.
