ordinary human life

"Okay."

"mom."

"what happened?"

"It's nice to see you."

"I love to hear that, our girl has grown up." Gu Chunyu said with tears in his eyes.

"Mom, I'm already this old, can you stop calling me Niu Niu." Yan Xiuying looked at the street full of people, a little embarrassed and authentic.

"But... I just want to call you Niu Niu, because you are my Niu Niu." Gu Chunyu said.

"Okay then, you are only allowed to call it alone."

"Niu Niu."

"Hey."

"Niu Niu."

"Hey."

"Niu Niu."

……

"Mom, you're so annoying." Yan Xiuying said angrily.

"Haha." Gu Chunyu laughed wantonly.

So much so that passers-by on the street looked at them one after another.

Yan Xiuying quietly moved her body in embarrassment to block Gu Chunyu.

But Gu Chunyu suddenly hugged her and burst into tears.

Yan Xiuying froze for a moment, then put her arm gently on her back - hugged her tightly.

……

"Zhenxing, come to my house for lunch."

It was Yan Zhenxing's cousin Yan Guosheng who was speaking, who was the only relative in his hometown.

"No, how can I always eat at your house, I will go to the market to buy some food later, and I will cook it myself." Yan Zhenxing shook his head and refused.

"It's not troublesome. You come here with Xiuying at noon. It's just a matter of adding two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Let's have a drink at noon." Yan Guosheng said.

The two brothers look nothing alike.

The main reason is that Yan Zhenxing inherited Yan Xiuying's grandfather, while his second uncle Yan Guosheng inherited Yan Xiuying's grandma.

But the two old men are no longer there.

"No, no, I drink it every day, and I can't bear it anymore." Yan Zhenxing waved his hands again and again.

"That's fine." Yan Guosheng didn't insist after hearing the words.

Then he took out a cigarette and smoked it on his own. He knew that Yan Zhenxing didn't smoke, so he naturally didn't pass him a cigarette.

"You said it's really okay to let Xingbing go to your place in the next year?" Yan Guosheng frowned and asked.

"If there's anything wrong, it's all from my own family." Yan Zhenxing said.

The Xingbing that Yan Guosheng was talking about was his son Yan Xingbing, who had poor academic performance and had no hope of going to college. He had been idle at home after graduating from high school.

Prepare to go out to work after the year.

When Yan Zhenxing found out, he asked him to go to his place.

"That's fine, then I'll hand him over to you. If he doesn't obey, you can just beat him up." Yan Guosheng said.

"How can that be? I think Xingbing is pretty good, not as bad as you said."

"Okay, if you can't do it, just call me and I'll bring him back." Yan Guosheng said again.

Yan Zhenxing was also very helpless when he heard the words.

He disagrees with Yan Guosheng's education method. He also has a certain responsibility for Yan Xingbing's current state.

Yan Zhenxing said it before, but Yan Guosheng hasn't changed at all, so it's hard for him to say anything more.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go to the market to buy some food."

Yan Zhenxing went back to the house to find a vegetable basket and went to the market.

Chapter 701 You Are Old, Mom Is Tired

The place where Yan Zhenxing lives is not facing the street like Zhang Guojun, but there is still a distance from the street.

He carried a vegetable basket and walked out of the village in circles.

When I met acquaintances on the road, I greeted them with a smile, and some even joked with him.

"Zhenxing, a big boss like you still buys vegetables in person?"

"A boss as big as me still eats in person."

"Zhenxing, you are worthy of being in business, you can speak your mouth really well."

……

When I was young, I always wanted to get out of the village, thinking that the village was too backward and the cultural level of the people in the village was too low.

But when people reach middle age, they always want to go back to the village, go back to the past, and feel kind to everything they see.

Yan Zhenxing likes this kind of life very much, which is why he insists on coming back every year.

Walking along the way, when we came to the street, many people had already returned with their baskets.

But it doesn't matter, the grocery buyers are still there, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many of the grocery sellers sell for a whole day, unlike the past when they closed their stalls early.

……

"This, this crispy meat is delicious, you like it."

"And some of these croquettes, too."

"Hehe, it's not a sister, she's my daughter."

"Well maintained, how can there be, how can there be..."

"Aren't we alike? Thank you for your compliment, Boss. Give me another catty of duck collarbone, and add more spice."

"Niuniu, pay."

……

Along the way, Gu Chunyu would visit every stall and chat with the stall owner.

Of course I'll buy something too.

"Mom, why are you buying so much?"

"It's all what you like to eat."

"how do you know?"

"Little fool, because I have always been by your side, I naturally know what you like to eat?"

"Really?" Yan Xiuying asked in surprise.

Then her cheeks turned slightly red.

"Of course, Gui's memory is very short, and he can't remember many things after a long time, but Mom still remembers what you like to eat."

Yan Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words.

"mom."

"what happened?"

"you you……"

"Is there anything you can't tell mom? Just say it if you want to."

"Why don't you go to see Dad?" Yan Xiuying summoned up her courage and asked.

Gu Chunyu fell silent upon hearing this.

Seeing that Gu Chunyu didn't speak, Yan Xiuying was a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Chunyu came back to her senses after hearing the words, looked at Yan Xiuying, shook her head with a smile and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Then..." Yan Xiuying opened her mouth, wanting to ask her why she didn't see her father.

He even made up a lot of plots in his brain.

For example, because my father and mother quarreled back then, my mother lost her life in an accident due to carelessness at work, and she may even have committed suicide. The more I think about it, the more I think about it.

"Don't overthink it."

Gu Chunyu reached out and tapped her on the head, and then realized that her daughter had grown up and was no longer a child.

"Do you know that Aunt Ji?" Gu Chunyu asked.

"Huh? Aunt Ji has nothing to do with Dad." Yan Xiuying explained in a panic after hearing the words.

"Really?" Gu Chunlan looked at her with a half-smile and asked.

"It's really nothing." Yan Xiuying said in a low voice.

But I don't have enough confidence.

So he hurriedly said again: "Mom, don't be angry."

"Oh, I'm not angry." Gu Chunyu stretched out his hand to hold her daughter, and dragged her to the corner of the street.

Yan Xiuying followed obediently, always feeling that she had done something wrong.

"Actually, it's been so many years. Your father... is actually nothing. You can't let him guard me for the rest of your life?" Gu Chunyu said softly, holding Yang Xiuyan's hand.

"But...but don't you love my father?" Yan Xiuying raised her head and asked.

"Love, of course I love him. If I don't love him, how can I marry him? If I don't love him, how can I have you?"

"Since you love him, aren't you angry?" Yan Xiuying asked.

"Just because I love him, I'm not angry." Gu Chunyu said.

Yan Xiuying didn't quite understand, she was young and hadn't even dated yet.

"If I was still alive, I would definitely be angry, but I'm already dead, and I can't stop your father from pursuing his happiness, so I didn't go to see him, so as not to embarrass him." Gu Chunyu said quietly.

"It's not like that, it's not like that, anyway, I don't agree, and, look, mom, you're fine, you're no different from me." Yan Xiuying said excitedly.

Gu Chunyu smiled and shook his head.

"Silly girl, I'm cunning. You can only see me because of the soul lamp. Without the soul lamp, I will disappear without a trace."

"Then I'll ask He Sihai, Aunt Yang, and Uncle Er to lend me the lamp, so that my mother can be with me forever."

"Do you know what attracting people is?" Gu Chunyu asked.

Yan Xiuying nodded. She heard what He Sihai said just now, and she was the messenger who extradited the souls of the dead.

"You don't know." Gu Chunyu shook his head.

"Receiving and guiding people is not only to extradite the soul of the dead, but also to help the soul to fulfill the wish before death. Only when the wish is fulfilled, the soul of the dead will return to the Underworld." Gu Chunyu explained.

Yan Xiuying was taken aback when she heard this.

Then he reacted and looked at Gu Chunyu.

"Just like what you think, after my mother's wish is fulfilled, I will return to Netherland, a 'person' who is destined to leave, so you said, can I go to see your father and make him difficult?"

Yan Xiuying shook her head subconsciously, and then she came to her senses and nodded again. In the end, she didn't know what to say, and was in a hurry.

"All right."

Gu Chunyu grabbed her hand and made her quiet.

"Mom, can you not go to Netherland?" Yan Xiuying asked.

"Of course, as long as I don't fulfill my wish, I can still stay in the world, but do you know what is the most painful thing about doing tricks?" Gu Chunyu asked.
