- Xu Niansheng

Brother Zexi in Song Zeguan's mouth is the child of Song Yishu's brother, Lin Zisheng only said that he now lives at his grandparents' house.

The next night, I had dinner earlier than usual, and Song Yishu was also at home.

After dinner, he drove the car, Lin Zisheng sat in the co-pilot, and Niansheng and Zeguan sat in the back seat.

Zeguan asked, "Dad, why do you want to drive over so close?" ”

Song Yishu replied: "There are some things in the company, and I will go back later." ”

Zeguan pouted: "Dad, I've been so busy lately." I don't have time to hang out with my mom on weekends. ”

Song Yishu smiled: "Dad, this is trying to make money for you to spend." ”

"Hard work dad!"

Zeguan was wearing a pale yellow chiffon dress today, his long hair was soft on his shoulders, and the whole person looked quieter than ever.

The car drove past rows of trees, and the dim street lights entered the car, making the picture unexpectedly soft.

Zeguan's eyes have been looking out of the window since she got in the car, and suddenly she turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Sister, Brother Zexi is the best-looking boy I have ever seen." ”

A little pride and a little happiness melted in the corners of the girl's eyes.

"Brother Zexi is not only good-looking, but also very good at studying, and he is also the captain of the school basketball team."

Lin Zisheng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head and said: "Guan'er is simply a loyal fan of Zexi, you praise him so much, and he doesn't hurt your sister in vain." ”

Have you ever talked to your father about Xi Xuan, Niansheng also had the same expression as her.

At the end of summer that year, a fragrant locust in the yard bloomed with pink butterfly-shaped flowers, exuding a rich fragrance.

The father stood under the locust tree, holding a dustpan in one hand and gently picking flowers and leaves in the other, his eyes focused.

On the weekend, Niansheng, who had returned from studying in town, sat on a stone bench and told him about the teacher and what he had learned from the books.

My father dropped out of high school, but in addition to carpentry, his favorite thing to do in his spare time was to read, and he read a variety of books, such as martial arts, astronomy, geography, medicine, and the like.

He was in great interest that day, and said to Nian Sheng, his hair was cut very beautifully.

Nian Sheng grinned happily as if he had gotten a piece of candy: "It's a beautiful female master who cut it!" She also has a younger brother in the shop, who is better looking than the boys in the village. ”

The father picked up the fallen flowers on the ground and said lightly: "Make friends not only by his appearance." ”

After a while, the car stopped in front of a white bungalow.

Niansheng stood under the tree, and by the help of the street lamp, he saw a row of white western-style buildings behind the big tree.

"Actually, we're still in our own community." Lin Zisheng stood next to Nian Sheng at some point.

Song Zeguan took Song Yishu's hand and shouted from the front: "Mom, hurry up!" ”

Lin Zisheng quickened his pace: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

The brown wooden door slowly opened, and a lady in her 50s stood inside the door, and Song Zeguan shouted at her sweetly: "Hello Mama Li!" ”

Mama Li gently pinched Zeguan's cheek, turned her eyes to Niansheng's face, and said, "This is that kid!" ”

Lin Zisheng smiled and nodded: "Niansheng, say hello to Mama Li." ”

"Hello Mama Li!" Nian Sheng said glutinously.

Mama Li responded with a smile and said, "Let's hurry up and sit inside, Mr. and Mrs. are waiting." ”

In the aisle, Song Yishu and Li's mother said a few words, and Song Zeguan walked in front of him with a familiar way.

The burgundy balsam dalmickon floors and the antique furniture with brown and white inlays all show elegance and nobility.

The wife in Li's mother's mouth, that is, Zexi's grandmother, is wearing a cheongsam with brocade and orchid patterns, rich and soft, luxurious and elegant, and must have been a beauty when she was young.

She sat on a rattan chair, her soft and shrewd eyes looking at Niansheng.

I don't know if it's the faint aroma of the solid wood that makes Nian Sheng a little dizzy, or because of the rain yesterday, a little cold.

The gentleman sitting on another rattan chair, his eyes like torches, revealing a kind of majesty, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he asked, "It's as big as Zexi, right?" ”

"Ozawa Xi is one year old, and now he is in his first year of high school." Song Yishu replied respectfully.

The lady smiled kindly and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Niansheng was still dizzy, and said glutinously: "Xu Niansheng." ”

The gentleman suddenly slapped the arm of the chair vigorously and said, "What kind of people do you adults do, all the sins you have created will be avenged on the children." ”

At this time, Niansheng felt even more dizzy, and Song Zeguan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly took Niansheng's right hand and stood up, and said, "Grandma, I'll take my sister to play with Brother Zexi, okay?" ”

Mrs. smiled and nodded slightly: "Go ahead, he's upstairs." ”

Nian Sheng was led by Song Zeguan to the staircase, and a low voice came from behind him, saying, "It's me who is not good." ”

Then it seemed that the wife said to the husband, "You are really, why do you say such things in front of your children?" ”

The gentleman said, "Look at the child, who is wearing a shabby coat, why don't you take her to buy some new clothes?" ”

Mrs.: "Children, it's good to be thrifty." ”

When he walked to the second floor, Song Zeguan immediately let go of Nian Sheng's hand and said disdainfully: "I don't want to leave you there and embarrass my mother." ”

Nian Sheng felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head a little embarrassed, and looked at his shirt, this coat has indeed been bought for several years, and it is enough for her to be comfortable to wear, but in their eyes, it looks so cold.

The door at the end of the corridor was opened with a squeak, and Song Zeguan jumped up to greet him, saying, "Brother Zexi, I'm here!" ”

The boy who opened the door was much taller than Zeguan, he stroked Zeguan's hair, the light of the wall lamp was elegant and harmonious, and fell on his dark eyebrows, which looked extremely gentle.

He looked up, saw Nian Sheng, and said lightly: "Hello, I'm Song Zexi." ”

Her hand unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Hello, my name is Xu Niansheng." ”

The first time they met, he introduced himself in a way that started with 'I am', and he should think that she knew him. At this point, it can be seen that he is more confident than her.

He asked, "Are you also in the fourth middle school?" ”

Nian Sheng nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

According to Lin Zisheng, in order to help her get into the fourth middle school, Song Yishu relied on the relationship, after all, this is a key middle school that everyone wants to go to.

Song Yishu studied in the university in City B that year, and stayed after graduation, first to work in a decent manner, and then to go to the sea to do business, and made a career on his own. For more than 20 years, he has also accumulated some contacts and resources.

Zexi originally planned to go downstairs to say hello to his uncle and aunt, but Zeguan refused, saying that he wanted to go to his room to chat.

She shook his arm, and he said softly, "Good, good." ”

Zexi's room is pure white tone, minimalist style, a bed, a floor lamp, a closet, a desk, a chair, and no other superfluous furnishings and sundries.

Neat and pure, Niansheng felt as if he could feel the most authentic him at a glance, but because he couldn't capture more objects to record and carry his past and emotions, he couldn't see what he was presenting at the moment and why he was him.

The three of them sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, listening to Zeguan tell the interesting stories of her class, and Zexi looked at her when she talked about the excitement, with a doting face.

"Brother Zexi, do you know? The math teacher in my class was halfway through the class when he suddenly said that I couldn't hold it anymore, and then ran out of the classroom, and my classmates were lying on the window and saw him hurrying into the toilet. Hahahahaha. ”

"And yes, yes, there's one more funny thing about him......"

Later, Nian Sheng forgot the happy things that Zeguan had said at that time, but the young man's eyes and smile occasionally came to mind.

When he went back, Zexi went down to the first floor together.

He said: "Zeguan, there is a basketball game in the high school tomorrow afternoon, do you want to come and cheer for my brother?" ”

"Yes, I'll definitely go!!" Zeguan said happily.

"Niansheng, if you have time, you can also come along." Although Song Zexi spoke politely, the way he looked at Niansheng was completely different from that of Zeguan, and his eyes were full of alienation.

"Okay." Nian Sheng smiled at him, deliberately ignoring his rejection.

After all, her identity, in this family, is indeed an absurd and ridiculous existence.

After going back, Nian Sheng immediately went into the room, and after a while, Lin Zisheng came and knocked on her door.

Nian Sheng opened the door in response, and Lin Zisheng stood outside the door, obviously not wanting to come in.

She said: "Niansheng, your previous clothes are outdated, you can go home early after class, and I will take you to the mall to buy new clothes." ”

If it weren't for Zexi's grandfather's outspokenness, Lin Zisheng probably wouldn't have noticed Niansheng's dress. Like every ordinary housewife, she is very busy every day, contracting all kinds of housework such as cooking and washing dishes, of course, she focuses more on cultivating Zeguan.

Nian Sheng replied: "No, you can still wear it." I usually wear a school uniform to school. ”

She smiled and said, "Girls still have to dress beautifully." ”

Niansheng had no choice but to nod his head and not entangle with her too much.

In the early autumn night, there was always a chill, Nian Sheng sat in front of the window, looking at the books left by his father, and there was a yellowed note sandwiched between a certain page.

The vigorous and powerful handwriting, but the words are: How deep is the love? The sunset in the mountains is shining in the deep autumn rain.

At this moment, tears can't stop falling, Niansheng is not a person who loves to cry, but he feels unfair for him in his heart, his fifteen years of waiting under the fragrant acacia has become her embarrassment in front of people.

As everyone knows, many years later, the obsession of 'knowing each other with you, living a long life', Nian Sheng is not much worse than his father.
