The voice of the old lady of the Xie family sounded very old in the dark, as if it carried countless melancholy, and it was very desolate.

"I've been thinking about ......," she said.

Old Man Xie listened to the boss's voice and did not speak.

They have five sons, and he knows that in his wife's heart, the most beloved is actually the third son.

Although that incident has passed, no one has mentioned it again.

But......

They all know that the scar has always been there.

Perhaps, it never healed.

He himself too, he thought it had been so many years, he actually didn't care so much anymore.

However, he didn't control himself himself, and he even dreamed of shouting the third child......

Mrs. Xie seemed to be talking to herself: "The third birthday, it's almost here...... On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head ......"

The birthday of the third child of the Xie family is the second day of the second lunar month.

It was a special day.

Old Man Xie stretched out his hand, landed on his wife's arm, and patted it gently: "It's all over, don't think about it." ”

Mrs. Xie said: "You tell me not to think about it, but what about you, aren't you also dreaming of calling the third child?" ”

Old Man Xie paused and slowly withdrew his hand.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Xie asked, "Since ...... The last time Xiao Wu brought his daughter-in-law to the house, you started to feel wrong...... What the hell is going on? ”

Old man Xie: "It's okay...... I'm fine. ”

Mrs. Xie sighed: "How many years have we been married?" Do you have anything that I won't know? I can find out all the places where you hide your private money, what do you mean by hiding it from me? Unless...... You think it might be better to hide from me, don't you? ”

Old Man Xie yawned: "I really don't have anything to hide from you, go to sleep, it's going to be dawn." ”

Mrs. Xie continued: "After Xiao Wu's family left, you started to feel wrong, after so many years, the first time you dreamed of calling the third child, did you find something?" The fifth daughter-in-law is the same as the third child...... Does it matter? ”

Old man Xie sighed in his heart, his wife, in fact, his brain is so good.

However, he felt that it was better not to let her know about it.

He said: "No, how can they have a relationship, don't think about it......",

Old Mrs. Xie suddenly turned around: "You are still lying to me." ”

Old Man Xie immediately shook his head: "It's really not, what do I mean by lying to you, we are all this age, what else is there to hide, do you say, sleep, sleep...... Don't think about it. ”

Old Lady Xie didn't speak, staring at him tightly.

The old man Xie who was staring at him only felt that his scalp was a little tight.

He said, "I really didn't hide it from you, I really didn't...... Don't think about it, I just dreamed, and it was just an accident, probably ...... Thinking about it, the third child's birthday is coming, so ...... This is inevitably a little ...... Hey, you know all of that. ”

After a long time, Mrs. Xie sighed: "Forget it, if you don't say it, I don't bother to ask......"

Old Man Xie said: "I really don't have anything to say, go to sleep." ”

Neither of them spoke again.

When it was almost dawn outside, Old Man Xie closed his eyes again and felt sleepy.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the old wife beside him say a word.

"You say...... Third...... Is it dead, or is it ...... Alive? ”

The old man thought in a daze, yes...... Alive, or dead?
