Imperceptibly

After Ning Anzhi briefly explained to Liu Zhen, he set off.

He took the same route as Su Yihong.In midsummer, the sun was already scorching at ten o'clock in the morning, but he still got out of the bus and went to the deck to look at the open river.The turquoise river water, the boats passing by, and the water and the sky meet in the distance. It is hard to tell whether the water is flowing into the sky or the boat is floating down from the sky.No wonder Su Yihong likes boating so much.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Su Yihong picked up Ning Anzhi at the station.This time Ning An knew that there was nothing tidy at all.There were large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, his hair was sticking to his forehead with sweat, and his white shirt was already soaked.Su Yihong suddenly couldn't bear it, and didn't know what to say, so he took his schoolbag and handed him a bottle of ice water.

Su Yihong hailed an electric tricycle, and the two of them sat on it and dangled. Ning Anzhi's mood had never been so good as it is today.

Four and ten minutes later, they arrived home.Undoubtedly, Ning Anzhi received a warm welcome from the two elders.

Grandma brought a basin of water to Ning Anzhi: "Wash your face, and eat after washing."

"Okay, thank you mother-in-law."

After Ning Anzhi washed his face, he saw Su Yihong helping to set the dishes.

At this time, the grandmother said to him: "Son, your shirt is sweaty, take it off, this is at home, there are no girls, so bare your arms."

"Ah, mother-in-law, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that, you take it off, mother-in-law will wash it for you."

Ning An didn't know what to do, turned to Su Yihong, Su Yihong also said: "Take it off, I'm hot too, I plan to take it off too."

So at the dinner table, both boys were bare-armed.Grandpa and grandma would give them two vegetables from time to time.Ning Anzhi hadn't eaten such a comfortable meal for a long time, and for a while, even the corners of his eyes curled up.

After dinner, Su Yihong was going to wash the dishes, but his grandmother quickly stopped him: "Put it there, you go play with Xiao Ning, your grandpa will do the washing."

With a cigarette in his mouth, grandpa pretended to be angry and said to grandma, "You just can't see me idle, and I can't be idle even smoking a cigarette."

"That's right, I cook, of course you wash the dishes."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say, I wash it and I wash it."

Ning Anzhi and Su Yihong laughed beside him.

During the lunch break, Su Yihong took Ning Anzhi upstairs. There was only one bed, which was relatively wide, with a mat on it.

"Don't mind, my grandparents are getting old, and we seldom come back, so there is no air conditioner in this house, only electric fans."

"Why do you mind? I think it's fine."

"Really? Can you get used to it?"

"Really, I think it's really good to get used to it." After Ning Anzhi said this, he added: "I think everyone in your family is pretty good."

"Well, I know, a lot of people say that."

"It seems that the eyes of the people are discerning. I mean, the people in your family are very gentle and easy to get along with."

"Maybe it's because my grandpa and grandma are better themselves, and then they influenced my parents." Su Yihong couldn't stop the chatterbox once he opened it. "The generation of my grandparents was born in a difficult situation, and they all ate from the fields. My grandmother was not in good health. At that time, my mother was born alone in her 30s. Grandpa didn't care what others said. As for the son, I wholeheartedly raised my mother. Later, my mother was admitted to high school and university, and my grandparents tried their best to spend the money. So, my mother has a strong and filial personality, because she is used to her own My parents are affectionate, so when I was looking for a partner, I didn’t look at my father’s family conditions. I thought it was right to like it. Over the years, my parents’ relationship is also relatively good. Maybe it’s because the relationship is better and the family atmosphere is more harmonious. Outsiders think that our family is easier to get along with. But, when I was very young, my grandparents disappeared. I don’t know how my grandparents get along with them. My father is very nice, but not as active as my mother. I think it must have something to do with my grandparents’ education.”

Ning An Zhiping lay on the bed, turned his head to look at Su Yihong, Su Yihong calmly talked about his family affairs, happiness was taken for granted, but he didn't know that not every family was as lucky as him.

"Hey, I've never heard you talk about your family affairs? What's your family like?" Su Yihong had already turned his head to look at him at this moment, with a flickering light in his eyes.Ning Anzhi didn't want to say anything, but when he saw his eyes, he couldn't keep silent.

"My family has only three people. But it's not as harmonious as your family."

"Why?" Su Yihong thought that the whole world was like him, so he didn't think there was any problem with asking this question.

Ning Anzhi also knew that he was not malicious, but his heartache was still uncontrollable.He slowed down and said, "They cheated."

Only then did Su Yihong realize that he had stepped on Ning Anzhi's sore spot, and quickly said, "I'm sorry."

Ning Anzhi didn't care, as if he had been suppressed for too long and needed someone to talk to, so he continued: "At first, our family was fine, but then I don't know why, my dad cheated, and I saw him and that Women. At that time, I wanted to rush out and stab them, but I didn't. Later, I just wanted to protect my mother. I thought she was quite pitiful and kept in the dark. But, I was wrong, my mother had already I know, and she also cheated on my dad. At that time, I was only 13 years old, which was a big blow to me. So..."

Su Yihong has long felt the difficulty of Ning Anzhi when he said these words, and he seems to understand something: why Ning Anzhi has a mature temperament beyond his peers, even alienated.He seemed unable to bear to see Ning Anzhi remember the painful past, so he turned to face him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, like a wordless comfort.

The cicadas outside the window chirped continuously.
