When Ah Heng stood in front of the gate of the Wen family, he was a little uneasy in his heart, thinking back on the itinerary of the past few days, it was really excessive.

"Why don't you go in?" The boy stretched out his thick, gloved hand and pressed the doorbell.

Ah Heng cautiously took a step back, resisting the desire to escape.

It was Sister-in-law Zhang who opened the door.

"Coincidentally, I was talking to Yunyi just now about whether I wanted to add you to the cooking today, and you came back." Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and looked back at the living room.

"You know, we ......," Ah Heng asked Yanxi in a low voice.

"It's not like running away from home, I already greeted Grandpa Wen before leaving." Yan Xi was not in good spirits, walked towards the entrance with long legs, thought of something, paused, and asked Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law Zhang, are my old man and Mama Li here?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, took Ah Heng's hand and said with a smile: "Naturally." Every year during the Chinese New Year, our two families spend it together, so many years of habits, can we change? ”

Ah Heng sighed, she had the intention of running away from home, but unfortunately she was a villain in vain. In this way, Yan Xi should have known her little caution before, but she was just too lazy to take care of it.

Ah Heng was held by Sister-in-law Zhang, and changed her cotton slippers a little depressed. She had thought that when she returned, the house was full of police officers discussing how to find her; Grandpa will sigh; Mom will be sad; Siwan would frown her good-looking eyebrows and worry about her safety; Erl will have tears in his eyes, and the result will be ......

Alas, so disappointed......

"What do you think?" Yan Xi looked at her playfully.

Ah Heng blushed.

Entered the living room, lively atmosphere. Grandpa and Grandpa Yan were playing chess, and the chess pieces fell heartily, and when they saw them, they hurriedly asked a few words and continued to fight. Mom and Uncle Li were making dumplings in the kitchen, Uncle Li looked at Yan Xi, he was so happy and loving that he couldn't close his mouth, and fished out two pieces of pork ribs that were boiling from the pot, one was put in Yan Xi's mouth, and the other was fed to Ah Heng.

Mother Wen asked Ah Heng's itinerary and learned that she had returned to Wushui, and her expression did not change. To Yan Xi, he was much more intimate, holding the young man's hand and asking non-stop.

Ah Heng looked around, but he didn't see Siwan and Er'er. She went upstairs and arrived in front of Siguan's door, the door was open, Ah Heng hesitated for a moment, but still pushed the door open.

Siwan was sitting at his desk, flipping through a thick book. He turned around to look at Ah Heng, his expression was a little frozen, and then he said uncomfortably: "You're back?" Did the trip go well? ”

Ah Heng nodded, a little embarrassed. She walked up to the young man, bowed her head slightly, glanced at the young man's book, smiled and asked him, "What are you looking at?" ”

Siwan pursed his lips slightly, and his tone was always gentle and polite: "It's nothing, it's fun." ”

The two froze there, not knowing what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"I've brought it, sugar cake." Ah Heng sneered and took out a paper bag from his pocket. She specially bought it for Siguan before leaving, and felt that Siguan must also like what Yanxi likes to eat.

The boy was surprised, staring at the mass.

Ah Heng looked at his palm, but his face became unnatural. The white sugar cake was held in my pocket for a day, and it was squeezed and deformed, and all the oil was soaked out, which was extremely ugly.

"Yes, you can eat ......" Ah Heng's voice became smaller and smaller, and he became dejected.

Siwan frowned, his face was not good, but he was still patient: "It's almost lunch, you can put away these snacks first." ”

Ah Heng retracted his hand, his hand was full of oil, sticky, and extremely uncomfortable. The white sugar cake, hot to the hand, she had an urge to throw away the white sugar cake, wash her hands, and pretend that nothing had happened.

"Wen Heng, you're really not kind." A chuckle sounded in the room, "I didn't sleep all night last night to celebrate your birthday, but you harbored the white sugar cake for others." ”

It's Yanxi. The boy leaned against the doorframe and sneered.

Ah Heng's face became more and more embarrassed.

Hehe...... was discovered.

"Bring it." Yan Xi lazily hooked his index finger.

"Can't...... Eaten. Ah Heng hugged the white sugar cake, embarrassed.

A pair of slender, fair-skinned, well-proportioned hands reached out and snatched them lightly. The hands opened the paper bag quickly, and a shriveled and crumpled cake-like object showed its head, shy and timid.

Ah Heng became more and more embarrassed.

Yan Xi tore off a piece lightly, walked in front of Siguan, and said domineeringly: "Open your mouth." ”

Siguan was surprised, but he still opened his mouth obediently, he was used to being bullied by Yan Xi on weekdays, and he had no potential to resist.

"Shut up and chew."

Siguan pretended to be calm, stiffened his cheeks and chewed.

Yan Xi smeared the oil in his hand on Siwan's coat and ordered casually: "One, two, three, swallow." What do you think? Can I poison you? Yan Xi sneered, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the young man, his big eyes were as cold as water.

Siwan stiffened his neck and didn't speak.

"Dead child, I really don't know what to do." Yan Xi eased his expression, sighed, hooked Siguan's shoulder, and regretted childishly, "White sugar cake, what a delicious thing!" ”

Ah Heng felt guilty, raised his hand weakly, sniffed, and said embarrassedly: "Yan Xi, I, I also hid a piece, I originally kept it, eat it myself, do you want it?" ”

Siwan couldn't help but laugh, looking at her, it seemed that the first ray of sunshine in winter had melted the previous cold.

Ah Heng also smiled.

Yan Xi rolled her eyes.

Hey, the Wen family is all dead children.

Ah Heng never saw Er'er, and learned from Zhang's sister-in-law that after Si'er recovered, he was persuaded by Grandpa Yan and returned to his original place.

Why Grandpa Yan? …… Ah Heng was a little puzzled.

It's just that no wonder Siwan saw her before and had such an attitude.

1999 was the first New Year that Ah Heng spent with the Wen family.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve posted the door pair, the adults were busy rubbing mahjong, cooking, and watching TV, so they asked the three of them to post it.

Yan Xi was too lazy to move, and she was not tall enough, so the work fell on Siwan.

"It's low, it's low." Yan Xi spoke, and Siwan's arm stretched up a little.

"It's high, it's high." Yan Xi squinted, and Siwan withdrew his forearm.

"It's a little off, a little to the left." Siguan leans to the left.

"Ahh Why are you so stupid, too left! Yan Xi squinted his eyes and puffed out.

Ah Heng watched it for a long time, held it for a long time, and finally said a word: "Yanxi, you are standing diagonally." At the beginning, Siguan was pasted correctly. ”

Stand obliquely and look crookedly.

Siwan looked at Yan Xi sadly.

"Oh, what, you can just post it, I don't like to find fault with people." Yan Xi was calm, got up from the door frame he was leaning on, patted the ash on his back, and floated into the house lightly, noble and invincible.

Siguan pouted: "Ah Xi ...... like this every time" This young man is obviously complaining, but he is helpless and conniving.

It's not what you're used to, Ah Heng thought to himself.

It's just that at that time, this child never thought that she would be spoiled to the bone marrow, and she would be a hundred times better than Siguan and others.

But at this moment, Yan Xi was not there, and the couplet was quickly pasted.

Siwan rubbed the gold dust in his hand, then went back to the bathroom to wash his hands, leaving Ah Heng to clean up the paste and other miscellaneous items.

She lowered her head, but she heard footsteps, and when she raised her head, her heart somehow warmed.

It was a man, dressed in a straight navy uniform, dusty, and his temples were dyed white. He looked into her eyes, loving and gentle.

"Are you...... Ah Heng, right? "The man's bronze complexion seems to have experienced a long sea breeze and scorching sun, but the gaze is deep and upright.

Ah Heng nodded, almost sure of something in his heart, and became excited.

"I'm Wen Anguo." The man smiled, with fine lines at the corners of his eyes, with the same pure warmth as Siwan, and the charm she had every time she looked in the mirror.

Ah Heng smiled and laughed with the man.

He was not surprised by her presence, and even ruffled her hair with his big hands and asked her, "Why don't you call Daddy?" ”

Ah Heng paused, tears almost coming out. She looked at the man, but in a low voice there was a heavy sense of belonging: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy......"

She kept shouting, looking at him, tears were squandered, but her gaze did not flinch.

This shout almost made her fill the gap between heaven and earth.

For the first time, for no reason, she believed that there was a belief in this world, called blood kinship, that could defeat all reasonable logic.

Her father was the first to truly accept her relatives. The rest of the Wen family only left a slit for her, wearing a suitable mask, and watched her from afar. And this man opened his heart to her unreservedly.

"It's time for lunch, Ah Heng come in!" Sister-in-law Zhang shouted in the kitchen.

"Coincidentally, I came back in time and was not posted outside the door by the door pair." The man smiled and looked at the couplet that had just been pasted gently, and then, he stretched out his hand, a warm and rough big calloused hand, firmly holding her hand, warm and soaked his heart, "Go home with Dad and have a reunion dinner." ”

Ah Heng gently shook his father's hand back, like a newborn baby brightening his vision for the first time and grasping the first ray of light in this strange world.

Her father, naturally, took her hand and walked into the house again, giving her enough courage to face her grandfather, mother and Siguan instead of looking up.

For her, only this kind of treatment can be fair and respectful.

The return of my father was expected by everyone. He only has one long vacation a year, and that is during the Chinese New Year.

Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, when the cannon was fired, Si Wan's twist, Yan Xi ran far.

Crackling, crackling.

Ah Heng was close, looking at the red and festive color in a daze, and before he could react, the cannon had already sounded.

She was startled, and spun around in place, with nowhere to hide, and the two teenagers had already run away. Stomping her feet and running into the house, she found that Siwan and Yanxi were hiding behind the door and snickering, she blushed embarrassedly and smiled.

"This girl is so stupid." Siguan arched his hand, naughty look.

You're stupid! The same parents gave birth to me, why do you say I'm stupid!

Ah Heng was not happy, rolled his eyes slightly, and looked at Siwan, with a little fox-like cunning.

After eating, Ah Heng saw that Yan Xi was eating with a round belly, but he knelt down in front of Grandpa Yan unequivocally: "Old man, old man, press the New Year's money!" ”

"Can I miss you? That's it! Yan Lao smiled and scolded, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and he took out three red envelopes, one for each child.

Ah Heng held the red envelope, and his face was as excited as the red envelope. She has not taken a red envelope since she was ten years old.

"Grandpa Wen, Wishing you prosperity!" Yan Xi smiled and knelt down in front of Wen Lao again.

"Good!" Wen Lao has been in a good mood since his son came back, and he smiled and wrapped a red envelope and handed it to the young man, and Ah Heng and Siguan naturally had a copy.

Yan Xi turned to Mother Wen again, Mother Wen has always loved Yan Xi, and this red envelope was generous and heroic.

"Uncle Wen, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've become handsome again!" Yan Xi turned to Father Wen and smeared honey on his mouth.

"Little thing, don't kowtow to me, if you want to earn my money, it's not so easy." Father Wen teased.

Bang! Yan Xi stumbled honestly, smiled innocently, and the smile on his lips seemed to fly to the sky, and the adults were amused.

It's a pity that Yan Xile was extremely sad, kneeling for too long, and when he stood up, his eyes were dark, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was prostrate on the ground, pointing in the direction where Ah Heng was standing.

Ah Heng hugged the red envelope that had just been warmed and guarded tightly: "Don't worship me, I don't have ...... money"

Laugh.

Yan Xi's face darkened, and he no longer pretended to be cute in front of the adults just now: "Young master, I don't have any money, so I didn't buy you pork rib noodles and birthday cake!" Why are you so conscienceless! ”

Ah Heng was aggrieved: "You, you still eat it, my sugar cake ......"

"You made me eat it, and if you don't let me eat it, it's not uncommon for me to eat it!"

"Mingming...... It's you...... ...... want to eat"

"Which eye did you see I wanted to eat?"

"I ...... Two-eyed ...... 2.0……”

Siwan was on the side, smiling and slamming on the sofa.

"Yanxi, you can't let my sister!" Boss Yan roared loudly at the young man, but in fact, his mouth was crooked with a smile.

Yan Xi's big eyes were dark and bright, and he glared at Ah Heng for a long time.

The eyes are facing each other.

Eventually, unable to hold on, he burst out laughing, his black hair fluttering gently with the laughter in his throat.

Ah Heng also laughed, his eyebrows and eyes flowed, and the landscape was freehand.

This year, who quarreled with whom, talked about the sky, laughed and windy, will stay until tomorrow......

This night, who remembered who in his heart, kept the New Year, and after the New Year, it will be put to next year......

Little girl, little boy, you are too forgetful, this strange and strange, and whose brushstrokes should you use to remember the passing years......
