78 We are old, and we will be safe all the years
Shan was stunned and came out with the fruit, Chen Sui and her grandmother were not in the living room, only the uncle and grandfather were left, although he was puzzled, he didn't seem to be holding a plate on the coffee table, and then sat down on the side, as if unintentionally speaking: "What about grandma and Sui Sui?" β
The uncle bit a few grapes and stuffed them in his mouth: "The grandfather and grandson have returned to the room." β
"Oh, good." Shan sat up straight and focused on the turned on TV, focusing on the supernatural Cantonese dialogue.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and the TV broadcast of "Seventy-Two Tenants" was the only sound source.
"What do you do at home?"
Hearing the old man's voice, Shan was stunned and subconsciously looked over, and when he saw him looking at himself, he reacted and said to himself, he could only be confused, and the uncle looked at him and remembered that he didn't understand, and translated for him with an accent: "It's to ask what you do at home?" β
Then he explained to his father: "He still can't understand the vernacular. β
"Oh." The old man answered, watching the young man speak nervously.
"My mom is a middle school teacher, my dad is a veteran, and I'm the only child in the family."
"Chen Sui's situation, you are fully aware of it. Your family knows about it, too. β
"Yes, always a.g."
"Okay, you young people have made it clear to themselves, how to tell your parents, that's also your business, don't say that we lied to you when the time comes," the old man paused, and continued: "Let's see when your parents are free, find a time to meet, talk about you and the girl, and when it's settled, take the girl away." β
"Find a time to meet your parents and set your marriage with Sui Sui."
The old man tilted his head to look at the boss who acted as an interpreter, and Shan Jingzhen also looked at him and waited for his next words.
Chen Dongkai waved his hand: "It's gone." β
Such a large paragraph, is it so short?
Shan stun's eyes widened, and he recovered in just a moment: "I will tell my parents about meeting in two days, and I originally planned to do so before I came, but tomorrow... Tomorrow is the death day of my uncle and aunt, and it is not very convenient to say this, so I haven't mentioned it, thinking that at least I will discuss the meeting between the two families after this month. β
"It's really not convenient now," Chen Dongkai also agreed: "Then wait for the Qingming Festival, after the Qingming Festival, the two families will make an appointment to have a meal together and meet each other." β
"Okay."
Then it was quiet again.
It wasn't until Chen asked a few people to come back that the atmosphere began to be lively again.
Chen Rang sat back on the sofa while watching, and asked Shan Jing: "What about the age?" β
"Grandma took her to the room, and she hasn't come out yet."
"Oh." Chen Rang nodded: "How are you learning?" β
"I can probably understand a little bit, but it's too complicated."
"Really? Come, then I'll test you simply. Chen Rang cleared his throat: "Lei is good." β
"You...... Good? β
"Boom."
"Huh? Was it just now? β
"Wow~ and home."
"Now?"
"Not so."
"I've just heard this sentence a few times, but it seems to have several meanings, trouble, thank you, it seems that calling the waiter is also this?"
"Yes, this word does have several meanings, and can be used in many places, like you just said, call a waiter, here it means 'labor' and 'ask someone to help', and the road is blocked by someone can also be said, here it means 'trouble to let go', and then ask others to help, you have to add an extra word 'don't want to be first', which means 'thank you'."
"Oh!" Shan opened his mouth wide: "So much meaning! β
"Well~ yes, the language talent for doing voice is good, it's only been a long time, and I'll be able to understand this, yes."
"Then when will you fully understand me like this?"
"If you dedicate time to it, it should be about three days."
"Okay, then I'll stay up all night tonight to watch and try to understand more."
"Go to bed early at night," Chen Rang stopped him: "You are going to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow, cheer up, this is not in a hurry." β
"Oh."
Until it was time to eat, Shan stood at the dining table and craned her neck to watch her aunt knock on the closed door, the door opened from the inside, and the grandmother walked out of it first, then Chen Sui, and the grandfather and grandson sat down in the vacant seats.
Chen Sui raised his head and met the gaze of Shan who was sitting opposite, pursed his lips and blinked, and sighed silently.
After eating, Chen Sui helped clean up the table and kitchen, and then was dragged back to the room by her grandmother and closed the door.
βShan Jing: What's going on?
Shan sent her a message.
βYuzuyama: Grandma said, before tomorrow, let me not go out again and stay in the room.
βSingle Sting: ??? Why?
- Yuzuyama: She said that she had found someone, and this year my parents moved to the grave, and I can't stay with a boy who is not married.
βSingle Sting: ......
Before he could finish his speech, he heard her grandmother talking over there: "Chen Sui lives here tonight, and she sleeps with me." β
The final word, there is no reason.
It wasn't until the time was too early that the uncle's family was ready to leave to go back, and Shan Jingzhen could only follow, and immediately reported to Chen Sui when he went out: We have to go back first, and we will come to pick you up tomorrow.
βYuzuyama: Uh-huh, okay.
- Yuzuyama: Yogurt needs you to soothe it, and hopefully it will calm down.
- Shan Jingjing: It's okay, the yogurt is very obedient, I told it that it understands, I'll go back and bribe it with dried fish, if it makes trouble again, I'll take it out with me tomorrow, it's just one night, it's okay.
- Yuzuyama: Well, that's the only way to do it first, you go to bed early at night, don't stay up late, you can watch movies and TV dramas anytime, don't be in a hurry.
- Shan Jingjing: Okay, you should also rest early at night.
- Yuzuyama: Yes, I won't tell you yet, grandma called me, I'll go and see.
- Shan Jing: Okay, you go.
Shan Jingzhen was just about to put away his mobile phone, Chen Sui's mobile phone rang again, this time it was a voice, he clicked: Sleeping with grandma at night, it shouldn't be too late to send it to you, then I will tell you in advance, happy birthday.
The sound of the earpiece was not loud, but it still clearly penetrated everyone's ears in the small carriage.
"yes, tomorrow is Shock's birthday." Auntie's voice rang out in the dimly lit carriage.
"Yes," Shan nodded politely, "It's also Sui's birthday." β
"Whew!" The three people in the carriage sighed at the same time, and Shan was shocked to reply to Chen Sui before turning off his mobile phone and sitting up straight: "Sui Sui is so old, haven't you had a birthday?" β
"She had it before she was 7 years old, and she didn't want to do anything after she was 7 years old."
"Uncle, aunt, brother, I want to hold a birthday party for the year, oh, it's the day after tomorrow, I want to surprise her, can you help me?"
"Yes!" Waiting for the traffic light, Chen Rang turned around to support him.
"Yes, yes, but will the years be willing? After all, when she encounters this kind of thing on her birthday, she feels uncomfortable. "My aunt is still worried.
"When the time comes, I'll tell her it's my own birthday party, let's let her be there first, I know it's going to be difficult, but I still want to try, she can't stay in the past forever, and my uncle and aunt definitely don't want her to be like this."
"Well, let's make an appointment with your aunt tomorrow morning, let's discuss it, get the sacrifice done first, and then see in detail what to do with the birthday party, you're right, the years shouldn't just stay in the past, and the younger brother and younger siblings definitely don't want her to be like this."
"Okay."
Chen Sui was urged by her grandmother to take a bath, and when she finished washing her hair and returned to the room after washing, her grandmother took a set of red silk pajamas for her to change into, she looked at the clothes and looked at her grandmother suspiciously, and her grandmother took the storage bag at noon, took out a charm from it, burned it with a lighter, put it into the water prepared in advance, and asked the talisman ash to melt into the water cup, she turned her head and saw that Chen Sui was standing stupidly and didn't move, and she was angry: "Change, why are you stunned?" β
"Grandma, how do you change to red?"
"If you want to change it, you will change it, what are so many words, hurry up, drink the talisman water after changing, and I will sprinkle you with seven grass water."
Chen Sui didn't dare to ask more, so he changed his clothes again, took the water cup placed at the head of the bed, frowned and drank all the Fu water, put down the water cup, and watched his grandmother holding the basin, holding a handful of straw bundles in her hand, and sprinkling water droplets into all corners of the room.
After sprinkling the corner of the room, he turned back to Chen Sui, and sprinkled water droplets in a 360 circle at her feet, slowly sprinkling them on her face.
Chen Sui subconsciously closed his eyes and resisted the urge to reach out and wipe them.
"Alright, wash your hands, and when it's dry, go to bed and lie down to sleep."
Chen Sui opened her eyes, and took the basin of water held by her grandmother, touched her palms like when she was a child, and then touched the back of her hands and then picked it up, and watched her grandmother go out with a cup and a basin of water, she yawned, waited for the water droplets on her hands to dry naturally, folded the set of pajamas that she had changed out of the bed and put them back in the closet, returned to the bed and sat down, yawned again, took the mobile phone to look at the time, and said goodnight to Shan Jingjing, put down the mobile phone and got into the quilt, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Yogurt didn't see that Chen Sui really made a fuss, so she lost her temper and ran back to the room placed at noon, Shan shook her head with a headache and sighed.
"That sting, you sleep in the room tonight, I'm old, I can't stand it, go back to the room to wash and sleep, you guys rest early." Uncle yawned and walked back to his room.
"Okay, good night uncle and aunt."
"Good night." Uncle yawned again.
"Ha~ Yawning is contagious." Chen Rang also yawned lazily: "There is a bathroom in the room of the year, and the toiletries are behind the mirror, you take it yourself, rest early, I will also wash and sleep." β
"Okay, good night, brother."
"Good night."
Chen Rang waved his hand and went back to his room by himself, Shan Jingzhen returned to the room and closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw Yogurt squatting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the moon outside, and turned his head when he heard the movement, and saw that it was him, jumped down from the window, and meowed around him, Shan Jingzhen bent down and hugged it from the ground: "Your mother was left by her grandmother, will I take you to her tomorrow?" β
The yogurt meowed twice, and Shan was shocked to put it back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window: "It's useless for you to protest, it's not that I want to leave her there, you be good, I'll take you to see grandpa and grandma tomorrow, and sleep obediently now." β
Saying that, he took out his pajamas from the suitcase and went into the bathroom, familiarized himself with the equipment, and took a simple bath, when he wiped the wet, the yogurt sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a squatting position, he sighed helplessly, took a towel, walked to the wardrobe and opened the cabinet door, looked at it, and took out a piece of clothes that Chen Sui wore before, and now it is obviously no longer worn.
Before preparing to close the cabinet door, he glanced at the photo album and DV machine placed on the upper floor, driven by curiosity, he reached out and took it down, first laid the clothes for the yogurt, and then held it on it: "You will be on the road tonight, but you can't pee on it and pull the stink, I will smoke you if you dare." β
Yogurt lowered her head and sniffed the clothes under her, and only when she smelled the familiar smell did she relax her body, and her head drooped together.
Shan stung rua its brain, returned to the bed, opened the photo album that was taken down, and what caught his eye was the wedding photo of a newlywed couple who were a little old, and a little old age could be seen between the eyebrows, which should be Chen Sui's parents.
"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Shan Jingjing, and I am Sui Sui's boyfriend, don't worry, I will take good care of Sui Sui." He whispered assurance to the photo before continuing to scroll down.
Chen Sui's birth photos, photos with her parents, photos of her older alone, photos with Chen Rang, Ye Zhi, Ye Chengxuan, and elders are all filled in this album, witnessing her first 25 years and half of her life.
Among them, there was also a boy, and it took a while for Shan to distinguish it before he could vaguely see from the little boy's eyebrows and eyes that this was a blue bird, and once he accepted this cognition, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, almost the kind that was magnified in equal proportions.
It seems that when I was eight or nine years old, the number of photos began to decrease, and more of them were class photos and graduation photos.
Shan was stunned to close the photo, his heart was full of emotion, he took the DV machine on the side and turned it on, flipped through the archived video, from the first point, it was Chen Sui's parents who began to record the situation and state of pregnancy, when the clothes were lifted to expose the belly, he was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, hurriedly pressed and exited, and kept muttering in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
After exiting, he saw that every VDR actually had a signature, he rummaged through it, and finally locked it on the video of "The Full Moon of the Year", he carefully clicked on it, confirmed that he didn't click on what shouldn't be seen again, and then breathed a sigh of relief, staring seriously at the little ball that was still wrapped in swaddling clothes on the screen, watching the child smile at the camera, that look flawless and innocent, Shan Zhen's heart melted, and he laughed unconsciously, and kissed the screen in the air.
Every video after that, indeed as the blue bird said at the beginning, the aunt smiled and watched Chen Sui learn to crawl step by step under the leadership of the blue bird, learn to stand, learn to walk, the last stop of the video is the day before the third birthday, Chen Sui's parents are still using vlogs to record their daily life, and then it was broken.
Looking at it, Shan Jing's eyes were red, and he re-opened the vlog on his second birthday, the second birthday collided with the millennium, this birthday party was very lively, but it should be the DV machine that Chen Sui's father was holding, and the birthday song he sang was the loudest, and the camera advanced to the mother sitting on the sofa and Chen Sui wearing a small birthday hat in her arms, and she was infected by the surrounding atmosphere and giggled.
Shan was stunned to look at this scene in the camera, the tip of her nose was a little sour, if Chen Sui's parents were still alive, then she should be happy, bright, and like the sun, not like now, cautious and flattering, not daring to touch the sun.
At the end of the birthday song in the picture, accompanied by a blessing, the two-year-old Chen Sui blew out the candles under the drive of his mother, and also received the most simple and beautiful birthday wishes from his parents.
"We are old, and we want to be safe every year."
"We are years old, and we want to be safe every year...", Shan Jingzhen repeated again.
