Chapter 941: They All Have Ghosts in Their Hearts
The two-bedroom house where Li Qin lives is not large, but fortunately, she usually lives alone, and the furniture is not so much, so it looks spacious and tidy.
Move the coffee table to the side, move the dining table that can adjust the height and telescopic size, adjust the height lower, suitable for adults to sit on the sofa to eat, and then bring the two chairs at home, five adults sit around the table full of sumptuous dishes, while eating, chatting, drinking wine, drinks, while watching the Spring Festival Gala...... The festive and lively atmosphere of reunion is much stronger.
During the banquet, Wen Shuo and Xu Congjun naturally wanted to drink a few more glasses.
In the midst of talking and laughing, he noticed that his mother frequently served Xu Fang vegetables and seemed quite enthusiastic - this is not surprising, in the past, his mother was very kind to Xu Fang because she was pitiful and distressed.
Strangely, Xu Fang always gave people a very unnatural feeling today.
What especially made Wen Shuo feel a little uneasy was that Xu Fang would always avoid his eyes, and from time to time he would show a shy and embarrassed look.
That's weird.
In addition, Wen Shuo was drinking and laughing with Xu Congjun, and gradually noticed a trace of inappropriateness.
What is Xu Congjun's character?
Although there was an accident in the family, after resigning and entering Beijing, his fiery personality has decreased a lot, but he still speaks loudly, his words and deeds are neat, and he is simply decisive.
But today, Xu Congjun seems to be a little unnatural.
If it is said that it is because of the New Year, it is understandable that going to someone else's house to spend Chinese New Year's Eve is really disturbing people's hearts.
But now that the food has been eaten, the wine has been drunk......
There are so many things, it's a bit pretentious - it's not like Xu Congjun's temperament.
Hi!
What do you want to do so much?
The fat man feels that he is perfect in terms of understanding people's hearts, but when he encounters someone who can't understand and can't see it thoroughly, he doesn't bother to figure it out.
It's all your own people, you don't have to worry about what to suspect, why do you have to figure out what the other party thinks?
Meal.
Xu Fang and Li Qin gave in and grabbed each other, and finally worked together to quickly clean up the table and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks. Wen Shuo, on the other hand, carried the dining table back to the dining room with Xu Congjun and moved the coffee table back to its original position.
Five people sat around the coffee table, watching the Spring Festival Gala, chatting, and eating snacks and dried fruits until more than ten o'clock.
Seeing that the old lady couldn't stay up and was sitting on the sofa and napping, Xu Fang squirmed and reminded her father that it was time to go home, and grandma couldn't stay up all night with us to keep the New Year...... Li Qin frowned slightly, and said undoubtedly: "Let it be a big night, the weather is so cold, don't toss back and forth, you have to go upstairs when you go back, just let the old lady sleep here, anyway, there is an idle bedroom." Xiaofang will also live here for a while, sleep in a room with grandma, or sleep in a room with me, Lao Xu, you will go to sleep with Wen Shuo in a while, there are many rooms, it is not safe to drink and drive on the road, it is a big New Year!"
Xu Fang looked embarrassed and glanced at her father.
Xu Congjun smiled and said to the old lady who was napping: "Mom, if you are sleepy, go into the house and sleep for a while, that, let Xiaofang sleep with you at night, and I will go to Xiaoshuo's house to sleep, just in the back building, do you think?"
"This, isn't this another trouble, I'm so old, and I don't smell good......" The old lady immediately came up in good spirits, and got up tremblingly to go back.
"Oh, it's not bothersome, just sleep here, don't toss back and forth. Li Qin stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Lao Xu and Xiao Shuo have both drunk, what should I do if something happens while driving?" Besides, you are so old, the weather is so cold, and you toss back and forth and catch a cold, so you can cause trouble to the family! Okay, old lady, don't be so polite, just stay here, and leave tomorrow morning, ah!"
"Then, then this is ......" The old lady looked at Xu Congjun, and then at Wen Shuo.
"Live here, it's all your own people, you don't need to see outside. Wen Shuo smiled, but he muttered more and more in his heart.
What's going on?
Watching his mother help the old lady into the bedroom, which had been idle, Wen Shuo didn't show confusion and a little discomfort in his expression.
Xu Congjun also seemed a little embarrassed, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he greeted with a smile and asked, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and smoke a cigarette to ......"
Li Qin shouted from the bedroom: "It's so cold outside, go to the dining room to smoke, Xiaoshuo, just turn on the kitchen range hood, and in addition, take a paper cup and connect some water as an ashtray." ”
"Hey, good. ”
Wen Shuo responded, and sat down with Xu Congjun in the restaurant, feeling more and more ambiguous.
After watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating the dumplings for the vigil, Wen Shuo led Xu Congjun to his residence - there are two ready-made guest rooms, and all the accessories have already been prepared, but they have rarely been used in the past, even when Huang Shen and Zhuo Huilan came to Beijing, they did not live with him.
arranged the bedroom for Xu Congjun, Wen Shuo went upstairs to the study alone, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and calmed his mind, and felt that the thousands of heavens and earth in nature seemed to be forever making subtle changes, but it seemed that the five elements of yin and yang that would not be disordered would be permanently balanced.
In fact, he doesn't need to deliberately practice now.
And he doesn't pay much attention to this, but he is used to nature, and likes this kind of ethereal state of perception and thinking when meditating.
But tonight, he couldn't calm down.
Chinese New Year's Eve and Xu Congjun's family of three together, in the fat man's opinion, in fact, are very good, there are not many people, everyone is lively and lively to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. The fat man is not the kind of person who is easy to calculate in this regard, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.
It's just that today's mother, Xu Congjun, and Xu Fang's strange expressions from time to time make the fat man always feel as if they were hiding something from themselves.
Mother is good to Xu Fang, it's not surprising, everyone knows what's going on.
But today, it seems to be too good for Xu Fang?
It stands to reason that Xu Fang has long been accustomed to Li Qin being good to her, but why is she always embarrassed today and always avoiding my sight?
Suddenly, the fat man thought of a possibility, couldn't help but open his eyes, stared at the hazy night sky outside the window, and said secretly: "Won't it?"
How can this be?
I already have a girlfriend, and Qin Zhi is so good, and Qin Zhi's family background is so good......
No matter how good the economic conditions of our family are, we can't marry two daughters-in-law!
What age is this?!
Even considering that Xu Fang's situation is special, even if Xu Fang took the initiative to inform her father and tell my mother about her admiration, it is ...... Let's not talk about whether a five-good man like the fat man and me, who is not chaotic and emotionally loyal, will marry her in order to be a good person and do good deeds, so as not to be embarrassed, Skullcap Zhi can't agree, and her family can't accept it.
Presumably, my mother and Xu Congjun also know the difficulties in this, and they are actually a little repulsed by this in their hearts.
That's why they're embarrassed, embarrassed, and hard to say.
That's why Xu Fang is embarrassed, and she still hugs the pipa and half-covers her face?!
Alas.
The fat man couldn't help but sigh with emotion and sighed that he was too good.
It's past eight o'clock in the morning.
Li Qin left the key to the house to Xu Fang, and asked her to take care of the old lady here, and she, Wen Shuo, and Xu Congjun had to go back to their hometown Dongyun to go to the grave.
The fat man who was in charge of driving had already made up his mind that if his mother asked his thoughts and opinions...... Then you must refuse tactfully, and if you are forced to be in a hurry, you must simply refuse - this kind of blessing of Qi people can be forgotten.
If you really do that, you will make trouble for yourself, and it will also delay the happiness of other people's lives.
Fortunately, Xu Congjun sat in the co-pilot's seat when he set off, and Li Qin sat in the back row.
In this way, the location and distance will have a certain psychological impact on people, so as to suppress the urge to discuss some intimate topics.
But what Wen Shuo didn't expect was ......
Along the way, he was embarrassed to open his mouth to inquire, pretending not to know what the adults were thinking. And his mother and Xu Congjun didn't talk much.
Finally, the fat man couldn't help this weird atmosphere, and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Xu Congjun, and his mother sitting in the back row was also in these small talks, occasionally saying a few words, revealing a little far-fetched smile.
If it weren't for that, the fat man would have been speechless all the way with suspicion.
What's the New Year's Eve for?!
After sending Xu Congjun back to the county seat, the fat man drove directly to Wohutun with his mother to go to his father's grave.
From the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month, I talked to the elders of my hometown that I would come back to the grave on the first day of the first month of the first month, and then I really went back to the village on the first day of the first month of last year.
So, when Wen Shuo drove close to Wohutun, he saw several elders standing at the entrance of the village from a distance.
It was to greet him.
I stopped and said hello, and asked the elders to get into the car, but no one got into the car, and it seemed that there was inexhaustible strength all over the body, and walked forward quickly to lead the way.
Every time I pass by someone's house, there will be a few more people, young, old, old, women, daughters-in-law......
Until the car stopped at the door of the old man's house in Wentai.
Almost all the people surnamed Wen in Crouching Tiger Tun have already arrived.
Wen Shuo got out of the car and opened the trunk, and together with his mother, he took out boxes and boxes, bags and bags of nutritious products, dried fruit snacks and other things, and beckoned Wen Shanzhu, Wen Shanliang and others to come over and help take them, and walked into Wen Tai's house together.
The old man is old, and his family doesn't let him go out.
But at this time, the children all went outside to greet Wen Shuo, and he also came out of the house tremblingly with crutches, but he didn't dare to go down the steps by himself, standing at the door leaning on the door frame and looking out, and when he heard the noise outside, he knew that the kid from the Shanqi family had come to see him again.
The old man's face was full of ravines, and it blossomed.
I've been happy all my life, and I haven't even been to Linguan City, but I used to be honest and upright, but I haven't done anything for the orphans and widows left behind by my nephew who died early. However, he can be treated with such respect......
The honest Wen Tai felt that being an honest person in this life was actually really rewarding.
