Chapter 002 Discovery

After dinner, I took a shower and went upstairs, it was already eleven o'clock. The wooden staircase spiraled up, the light in the corridor was yellow, and Dong Xiaokui suspected that the lamp was replaced during the summer vacation of the third year of high school. Because there were already traces of cobwebs on the lamp.

It has gone through the vicissitudes of time, and this small building is also old. Walking down the stairs, some of the wooden bars rattled.

Dong Xiaokui helped up the stairs, it was the hall, the narrow hall, it was still the same as before, there was still a glass of wine on the table, the TV was still on, and it was still the news station that my father liked when he was alive, broadcasting the evening news. The fragrance of yellow cypress orchids and gardenias in the patio flower platform rises and falls, and the mist is all around.

Dong Xiaokui stood at the door of the hall, a little nervous, because there was a portrait of his father hanging in this room, a smiling man, and an elegant bearing. It's been three years since I've seen my dad's face. At the beginning, she went to school in the capital and resolutely did not bring a photo of her father. She can't give herself a chance to be coquettish, even if it's in front of a picture of her father. Because once people are coquettish, they will not be strong, and they will not be able to cope with a lot of hardships and hardships.

She hesitated against the doorframe, then walked in, turning the lights in the hall to the brightest point. Standing solemnly towards the portrait of her father, looking at it for a while, she said, "Dad, I'm back." ”

After she finished speaking, she stood there and looked up at her father's portrait. The photo is as good as new, the frame is spotless, the man in the photo is smiling, the contours are clear, the Tang costume is on the body, and the smile is calm and elegant.

This is my mother's beloved, and it is the pride of Dong Xiaokui's sisters and brothers. Although they never say it, they know each other.

Her nose was always sour, and she whispered, "Dad, have you seen me grow up?" ”

She stood there, remembering that her father used to say, "Aoi should grow up quickly." ”

The younger brother was not happy to crawl around, so he took Xiaohuai in his arms, sat on the chaise longue next to the patio flower platform, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuai should also grow up quickly." ”

Dong Xiaohuai giggled, happily hugged his father, and wanted to grab his glasses. When you catch it, you laugh even more.

Those were bright and pleasant days, and now that I think about it, it seems that Dong Xiaohuai's clear laughter is still in my ears.

But time has passed so fast.

I don't know how long I stood there, but I felt a little stiff. Mom just walked out of Dong Xiaohuai's room and said, "Xiaokui, you go to rest early, it's always tired after a day." ”

"Hmm." Dong Xiaokui replied, turned around and turned her back to the light, not letting her mother see her tears.

Mom is really old, and she has always been taciturn, and she has more words, and followed Dong Xiaokui into the room and said, "Your brother said earlier that you would come back at the end of this month, and you later called and said that it might be the end of July." So, I'm not in such a hurry, the futon is clean, but I haven't been exposed to the sun much recently, and you'll be on it tonight. Tomorrow during the day, it will be a big sun, and then I will take it to the rope bridge to dry. ”

"Thank you, Mom." Dong Xiaokui was coquettish to her mother, smiling mischievously.

My mother was probably not used to the fact that the relationship between mother and daughter that was originally like a stranger had improved so much, so she was embarrassed to close the window facing the street, saying that there were many mosquitoes in summer.

"There are mosquito nets, don't be afraid." Dong Xiaokui sorted out the mosquito net, this mosquito net is also old, the carved wooden bed, the plain Luo mosquito net, all of which were purchased by his father back then, said to be for the little princess of the family.

"You don't sleep honestly, do you think I don't know? It's good to sleep, always kicking the quilt and rolling around. Even when I was a junior in high school, I did this. Mom pointed out the window mercilessly as she reached for it.

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, she always thought that her mother didn't care about herself, but in fact, she knew all these things. Suddenly, she only felt her heart fluctuate, but she muttered on her lips, hiding her panic, she said: "Everyone is an adult." Much more honest. ”

"Hmph. The country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change. Mom glanced at her.

Dong Xiaokui smiled and said, "Really, I'm much better." You have to know how narrow the bed is at school. I've never even fallen. ”

Saying this, in fact, she is not confident. Because she always has to fall down several times a year. made Zhao Min and Yu Yao finally put a cushion in front of Dong Xiaokui's bed.

Mom still didn't believe it, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Absolutely." Dong Xiaokui jumped over and hugged her mother's arm.

My mother slapped her hand away and said, "After you get married, if my son-in-law comes to complain to me, saying that you kicked someone out of bed in your sleep, I don't care." As she spoke, she closed the outer windows and closed the screens of the windows by the patio, and then lit incense to repel mosquitoes in the incense burner at the screen.

Dong Xiaokui sat on the edge of the bed, leaned against the bedpost and smiled, saying, "If he dares to sue." ”

Mom smiled and didn't say anything, just fiddling with incense there.

Dong Xiaokui's heart sank, because her mother said that she was not honest in sleeping, and she suddenly remembered Xu Er.

That night, it was the first time she went to Ningyuan to carry out a dog washing mission, and because it was too late to read the information, she fell asleep in the living room. In the middle of the night, he called, and when she answered the phone, she accidentally flipped it down with a "clang".

He didn't seem to hesitate to say at the time: "I didn't sleep honestly, I fell to the ground." ”

It stands to reason that she should have slept in that big bed. People in their right minds, or who don't know her sleeping habits, won't guess that she's rolling to the ground.

However, that guy was so determined. Obviously, he is not out of his mind. Then, he must know that he is not honest in sleeping.

Could it be ——,that in the two nights I slept with him, I had done very earth-shattering actions, such as kicking him out of bed or something......

It must be. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted like this. It's really embarrassing, Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but pat his forehead.

"What are you doing? Got a headache? Mom fiddled with the incense burner and stood up to see her slapping her forehead.

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, he smiled and said, "No, no." It's just a big question. ”

My mother grabbed the rice again and sprinkled it around the house, asking, "What's the problem?" ”

Naturally, I can't tell my mother that I was thinking about whether I had kicked Xu Er in those two nights. So, in a hurry, I asked coquettishly: "I was thinking, when I was so young, my mother cruelly threw me into this big room alone." Is it because I'm not honest when I sleep? ”

As soon as this question was asked, my mother coughed twice and said, "Yes, yes." That's why. ”

In fact, Dong Xiaokui knows that this is not the reason. Back then, she always suspected that she was not born to her mother, and once asked her father. As a result, he was reprimanded by his father, and he was punished to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet, saying: "People should be cautious in their words and deeds, this kind of words are slanderous." ”

At that time, her father reasoned with her, and after speaking, he invited the bamboo strip in front of the ancestral tablet to beat the palm of his hand, a total of three hits, and asked "can you remember." ”

Later, when I grew up, I probably knew that it was just that my parents loved each other and didn't want her to bother.

When my mother says this now, she probably thought of that time, she blushed a little, and she was a little anxious and disguised by a girl's heart. At the end he said, "I'll go and get you some water, and I'll drink some of it when I'm thirsty at night." ”

As she spoke, she walked out, and although she was wearing soft embroidered shoes, she also said that she made a noise on the plank. Only at this time did Dong Xiaokui feel very tired. She suddenly had a very strong desire to sleep for three days and three nights, not to let anyone disturb her, not to think about anyone. When you wake up, it's a different world.

However, this is just a good wish. I have to go to the ancestral hall tomorrow, because of the matter of the ancestral house, and fight against the uncles and grandfathers in the family. To be honest, Dong Xiaokui's most annoying thing is dealing with people, she likes to be very peaceful between people.

That kind of realm between people may only exist in fantasy, just like Tao Yuanming's peach blossom paradise.

In the middle of her thoughts, my mother came in with water, and then she was about to go out. Dong Xiaokui stopped her mother and asked her to talk about the ancestral hall and ancestral house. Mom**'s tone is very calm, and she doesn't want to be so indignant when she first talked about selling her ancestral house. At the same time, she is also very resolute about not being able to sell her ancestral house.

Dong Xiaokui understood the general ins and outs, and then said: "Mom, don't worry, I won't let them sell it, the glory of the ancestors of the Dong family can't be ruined in their hands." ”

"Alas, what a brilliant man. Until now, there are fewer literate people, where is still the home of poetry, books and etiquette boasted on the genealogy, the hairpin clan. Mom also said very sarcastically.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll have a way." Dong Xiaokui comforted her, and she had no bottom in her heart. If you want to say a way, you can only go tomorrow to see the situation and see the move.

"Hmm." Mom nodded and smiled. There was a kind of dependence on her in that look, which made Dong Xiaokui feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was greater.

Later, the mother and daughter said a few more words, and the mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to rest.

Dong Xiaokui was lying on the bed, the fragrance of gardenias and yellow cypress orchids wafting in the room, and the moonlight outside the window was just right. It was very quiet, only in the distance, there were frogs one after another, and if you listened closely, you could hear the murmuring of the river behind the town, like some kind of quiet music.

Obviously very tired, and my whole body was sore. But she couldn't sleep, so she lay like that. Later, he simply fiddled with his mobile phone.

To be honest, she hasn't seriously fiddled with this expensive mobile phone given by Xu Er. Those days were busy, and my heart was too complicated.

The first thing she opened was the address book, because his name was in the first place, although it was not Zhong Lin, but just JOY with a similar pronunciation to Zhong Lin, but for Dong Xiaokui, this was him.

I looked at the name for a while, continued to look at it, turned on the music, and there were only a few original songs in it, and it seemed that there were Paganini's and Bach's. She doesn't know much either. Finally, when I remembered the photos I took when I was separated from Zhao Min and Yuyao that day, it seems that I should sort it out. So, she got up and turned on the computer and connected her phone.

I found that there were more than 100 photos, and I took out each one to take a closer look, and I smiled to myself. Suddenly, she was stunned because she didn't take the two photos. That place, that angle, must have been done by Xu Er.

(Okay, okay, I'll toss the second shift, and pray that I can finish the toss before 23 o'clock.) Touch it. Weakly ask for pink~~)......
