When I woke up, it was past nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and I slept so comfortably, it was the best sleep in recent times, and I didn't have a dream.

After getting up, I habitually opened the curtains, and the bright early autumn sunlight poured into the room everywhere, illuminating the moldy loneliness with nowhere to hide.

After lying in bed for a while, I put on my clothes and went to wash.

I happened to meet my dad at the bathroom door, and he asked me, "When are you coming back?" ”

"Last night," I replied casually, pausing and correcting, "it must have been early this morning." ”

My dad nodded and didn't ask any more, but when I washed up, I found him busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, what time is it? You're starting to prepare lunch? I walked to the kitchen door and asked.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet? I'll give you a warm-up. ”

Although my dad is not good at words, he always expresses himself with practical actions.

I also knew that my dad didn't like to be too emotional, so I cut to the topic and asked, "What about Mom and Lingling?" Why don't you see them? ”

"I just went out, saying that the weather is good today, and I will go out for a while."

I subconsciously glanced outside, nodded and said, "Yes, it's been raining for a while, so it's rare to have such good weather today." ”

"What did you do yesterday?" My dad asked suddenly.

I felt a little strange because my dad rarely asked me about these things.

Still in my silence, my father said again: "Yesterday morning, your fourth uncle saw you walking with the girl next door at the mouth of the alley. ”

"Oh yes, I went to Shanghai with her yesterday to do her a favor." I explained.

My dad said again: "Gao Chang, I don't want to worry about your personal feelings, I don't urge you to get married like your mother, but now many people in the alley say that you are very close to that girl, and they also say that you are dating, is there such a thing?" ”

My dad really rarely asked me about these things, and he must have heard a lot about them, so he couldn't help but ask me.

I also replied truthfully: "No, I have nothing to do with her, Dad, don't listen to those people's nonsense." ”

My dad sighed softly again and said, "Yesterday afternoon, when it was almost dark, Secretary Huang also came to me to ask about this matter, so I thought about asking you." ”

I understand when I say this, because Secretary Huang's son went on a blind date with Xiyue last time, and Secretary Huang is still thinking about it.

I nodded and said, "I know, Secretary Huang wants Xiyue to be his daughter-in-law, and he let his son go on a blind date with Xiyue last time." ”

My dad was stunned for a moment, and I guess he only knew that this was the case.

My dad is always worried, a good man all his life, he must be worried about offending Secretary Huang.

I hurriedly said to him again: "Don't worry, Dad, I really have nothing to do with Xiyue, and it is estimated that she will not live here soon." ”

"I didn't mean that, if you really like her, of course I'm rooting for you."

I was a little surprised, and asked jokingly: "Dad, aren't you afraid of offending Secretary Huang?" ”

"What does it matter? I can't ignore my son because Secretary Huang wants Xiyue to be his daughter-in-law! ”

Naturally, I was moved by the fact that my dad was such a person who was not good at words, but he always touched me.

This is my father, an unknown father who is like a mountain in my heart.

……

While eating breakfast, my mother and Lingling came back, and the two of them were talking and laughing all the way hand in hand.

It's been a long time since I've seen my mom so happy, and our family hasn't been together for a long time, so there will only be fewer opportunities like this in the future.

"Brother, when did you come back?" When she saw me, Lingling was a little surprised.

"It's early this morning."

"Then why didn't I hear it?"

"Can you hear me when I'm so quiet?"

"Brother, tell you something."

She sat down at me and said, "When I was out with my mom just now, I met one of my junior high school classmates. ”

"Which one? Male or female? ”

"Zhao Kai, do you still have an impression?"

After thinking for a while, I nodded, "Is it the one who stood up for you when you were bullied by your senior classmates?" ”

"yes, he's changed, he's gained weight."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time, but I've heard that their family went to the city to buy a house."

"Well, when he came back to see his parents on National Day, I can't believe that he is still two years old."

I was also very surprised, because Lingling was only 21 years old, and even if Zhao Kai was one year older than her, he was only 22, and the children were two years old......

On the other hand, I'm 28 years old, not to mention children, and I don't even know where the the child is.

At this time, my mother answered: "Look at you, you are about to be thirty years old, I don't ask you to let me hold my grandson, you can bring me a daughter-in-law back, I will be satisfied." ”

Lingling answered: "Mom, don't worry about this kind of thing, I believe that my brother definitely doesn't want to settle, and fate will naturally come to you." ”

"You still help your brother and say, you have to hurry up and urge him to find you a sister-in-law!"

Lingling is the grass on the wall, and the wind blows and runs at both ends.

Hearing my mother say this, she nodded in agreement and said to me, "Yes, brother, you should really find me a sister-in-law, so that I can have one more companion." ”

I looked at the two of them and was a little speechless for a moment.

It's true, it's not scary to be single, it's scary to deal with people who urge you to end being single.

……

After breakfast, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and there was nothing to do, so Lingling asked me to accompany her to walk around the alley, saying that my mother was unwell and had not walked far just now.

The weather is also good today, so it's good to go out for a walk.

The Lushan Hutong on holidays is still very lively, whether it is a young person who went out to work or bought a house in the city, they have returned, and every household is peaceful.

Lingling and I walked in this very familiar alley, there is not a single bluestone brick here, every stone wall, every tree is so familiar and friendly.

Lingling held my hand, just like when she was a child, bouncing around me.

In a trance, I felt like I was back in my childhood.

At that time, I wanted to grow up, always climbing over the wall to see the outside world, always looking forward to the outside world.

But when I grew up, I realized that the world of adults was not so easy, and I looked forward to returning to my childhood.

Just like Lu Xun's "Morning Flowers and Sunset", in fact, many things are the most beautiful at the beginning.

Under a wall, Lingling suddenly stopped.

"Brother, do you remember this wall?" She said, pointing to the wall in front of her.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember the words you said when you took me up this wall and stood on it?" Lingling chuckled to herself.

Of course I remember, but it's so naïve to remember at this time.

In my smile, Lingling said again: "You raise your arms and shout that you must make a lot of money when you grow up, and then leave this place with our family...... I still remember it. ”

"I remember too, and then I summoned the wild dogs nearby, and I just stood on the fence and watched you being chased by wild dogs, hahaha......"

"You still say, I don't know how old I was when I came down to help me! How do you be a brother! Lingling pursed her mouth, and snorted disdainfully after speaking.

"At that time, I was small and had a big playfulness, but then I was scolded by my parents."

"Otherwise, I'll stop you, and Dad will have to beat you that day."

"Thank you, my good sister."

Lingling looked at the wall, and her expression suddenly became a little sad......
