There is no doubt that the first day of the Lunar New Year is the most flavorful day of the new year. When Bai Yiquan walked into the dormitory of X University and stepped on a thick layer of confetti of fireworks, this feeling became even stronger. When he looked up, he could see the big red colored paper on the windows on each floor of the old residential building.

"Didn't you say you were going to buy something?" Ani didn't speak all the way, this was the first time she spoke after the two left home, and she had some doubts, "What can I buy here?"

"I can't buy anything, I just came to find someone. ”

"Looking for someone?"

Bai Yiquan nodded. According to the address provided by Jiang Yang, he took Ani to the top floor of the old-fashioned residential building, and then knocked on the door of one of the houses. In fact, it was not polite to behave like this on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Bai Yiquan really didn't want to wait, and at the same time prayed in his heart that the address provided by Jiang Yang was accurate, otherwise he would definitely arouse the disgust of others, and maybe he would be scolded.

After about half a minute, the door opened. A middle-aged woman in cotton pajamas appeared in the sight of the two, Bai Yiquan's heart suddenly tightened, not for anything else, it was because of the kind of temperament revealed by the woman that Bai Yiquan couldn't help but think of his junior high school homeroom teacher, who was also an elderly teacher.

The fierce temperament of their bodies is the same.

"Is there something wrong?" the woman asked.

Although the identity of the woman had been determined in his heart, Bai Yiquan still said honestly: "I'm looking for Teacher Deng Min." ”

Unsurprisingly, the woman said, "I am." ”

Bai Yiquan took a deep breath and asked, "Can you let us in and say it?" ”

Deng Min frowned and looked at the two of them with a suspicious look. Bai Yiquan felt like he was being targeted by the former head teacher, and Ani obviously felt the same way, after all, neither of them was a good student. One was almost at the bottom of the class in high school, and the other was repeating grades infinitely in [THIRD]. When a bad student sees a teacher, it's like a mouse meets a cat, and the oppressive force feels stronger than Jörmungader.

But soon, Deng Min's serious face instantly melted, revealing a faint smile: "Of course you can, you look like my students." ”

Deng Min turned sideways and let the two of them in. When he entered the house to change his shoes, Bai Yiquan regretted a little, why didn't he remember to bring two gifts, there should be a New Year's greeting on the first day of the new year, so rashly breaking into other people's houses, no matter how you look at it, it is rude.

It seems that he still has a lot to learn about this kind of thing. is like what Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang said in the TV series "Young Marshal": "What are rivers and lakes? ”

Well, it seems like I'm thinking wrong again.

Deng Min made tea for the two. Bai Yiquan noticed that Deng Min was the only one in the house.

Perhaps seeing Bai Yiquan's doubts, Deng Min smiled and said, "My husband has returned to the countryside for the New Year." ”

"Didn't you go back with him?"

Deng Min shook his head, and he didn't mean to explain. This made Bai Yiquan even more surprised, there was no man in the family, so he dared to bring a stranger into the house who had never explained his intentions, I really don't know if Deng Min was kind or too dismissive of them. But come to think of it, he and Ani don't look like robbers, but like they were robbed.

"Now you can explain what you are here for. "Although I have taught a lot of students, I am not old enough to forget them. I'm sure you're not my students. ”

Bai Yiquan hesitated, but still said, "I know your son. ”

"My son?" Deng Min frowned, "My son Dai Lin just started kindergarten this year, are you his classmates?"

"No, it's not him. It's your other son. Bai Yiquan looked at Deng Min's eyes and said word by word, "He is the heir of you and your previous husband, and his name is Wan Tianyou." ”

At that moment, Bai Yiquan noticed that Deng Min's eyes turned from suspicion to consternation, and soon turned into sadness. At the same time he heard the sound of the glass of water falling to the ground, and he turned his head to see that Ani had dropped the glass full of boiling water to the ground, and the hot tea soaked her pants. It's just that she didn't seem to feel pain, and just looked at Bai Yiquan blankly.

So Bai Yiquan hoped to come to the house to say that he had expected this kind of reaction. Ani can be Vivian codenamed [Fengxue] in [THIRD], and in Bai Yiquan's family, she can be Canadian-Chinese, and the girl next door Sheng Qianyu. But as long as Wan Tianyou is mentioned, she is just that girl, the girl who is at a loss.

After about a minute, Deng Min's mind calmed down a little: "You said you were a friend of Youzi?"

Sure enough, she is Wan Tianyou's mother. Bai Yiquan breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that his guess was wrong.

"Yes and no. Bai Yiquan replied honestly, "I haven't met Senior Brother Wan Tianyou, but he did give me a lot of help." The most important thing is this girl, she has been taking care of Senior Brother Wan Tianyou many years ago, so ......"

"I understand. Deng Min nodded and looked at Ani with pity, "That child from Youzi has always been a very kind person. I'm also grateful that after all these years, there are still people who remember him, and I think he will be very happy. ”

Ani's eyes were already red, and she gritted her teeth, trying not to cry.

Bai Yiquan knew that Ani in this state couldn't help much, so he could only come by himself. So he cleared his throat and asked again, "May I ask Senior Brother Wan Tianyou, did you live here before?"

"It's not. Deng Min shook his head, "Although his father died when he was very young, I raised him single-handedly, and I remarried him when he was about to become an adult." When I was living with my current husband, he had already gone abroad to study. ”

Did you go to [THIRD]?

Bai Yiquan nodded and took out his mobile phone: "In fact, my father was also a comrade-in-arms with Senior Brother Wan Tianyou's father, and they participated in the flood fight together, this is a photo at that time." ”

Deng Min took the phone, and his eyes widened after Bai Yiquan's identification: "I know a few of them, at Watson's funeral." It turns out that you were a little doll at that time, and now you are all that big?"

Bai Yiquan nodded.

"I see, your father and Yuko's father are comrades-in-arms, and you and Youko are classmates. Deng Min said softly, "It's all fate, it's a pity that the lives of their father and son are not good, and they have left this world one after the other......"

Deng Min couldn't go on talking anymore, she wiped her red eyes: "For the New Year, don't talk about these sad things, I still have a photo album of Youzi, take it out and show it to you." ”

After that, she fled the living room as if she was fleeing, leaving only Bai Yiquan and Ani.

Bai Yiquan looked at Ani, who still couldn't come back to his senses, as if he had lost his soul. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
