Xifu Begonia

"Brother Xiaofei, when did you guys come back?" Fu Kun took off his schoolbag, rummaged through it and took out a pair of gloves: "Your hands are so cold, put on my gloves, don't freeze. "

"I just came back yesterday. Your little glove is not enough for me to stick a finger in." Xia Fei took it over, flipped through it and said, "Aunt Xiao made it."

Fu Kun: "My mother is the only one who has this skill in my family... Zhang Qingkai!"

Xia Fei looked over and saw Zhang Qingkai slowly walking over with two grilled sausages.

"Come on, open your mouth." Zhang Qingkai moved closer to Xia Fei, and handed a piece of intestine to his mouth, "I chose this one specially."

Fu Kun stood among them with his head up, swallowing his saliva: "Zhang Qingkai, is the other one for me?"

Zhang Qingkai: "I eat it myself, why give it to you?"

Fu Kun: "Nonsense, your mouth is so red, it looks like you just ate something, you must have eaten with them, so you brought this one for me."

"Awesome." Zhang Qingkai clapped his hands and said in admiration, "I haven't seen you in half a year, you really look more and more like Detective Conan."

Fu Kun was a little dissatisfied: "Why not Holmes?"

"Because both of you are primary school students." Zhang Qingkai knelt down and pointed at the sausage, "You can eat it for you, just promise me something. I just made an agreement with those kids, and they won't bother you anymore. , don't pick things up, okay?"

Fu Kun stared wide-eyed: "How can I do that?"

Zhang Qingkai said: "Okay, then tell me what kind of deep hatred you have, I will appreciate it."

Fu Kun organized the language and said: "A long time ago, that is, ten days ago, a girl in the class handed me a letter. I didn't know what to write, so I stuffed it in my schoolbag. It turned out that after school At that time, I was stuck in traffic on the way home."

"They asked me to hand over the letter. I thought it was bad, so I ignored them. Unexpectedly, they wanted to snatch my schoolbag. I was angry at that time, and kicked their boss far away. As a result, they chased me for several streets."

"Then...then you hit me today, and I hit you tomorrow. It's basically a tie, and I'm not at a disadvantage. I guess they all admire me in their hearts, but they just didn't say it. There are a few younger brothers The admiration for me in his eyes when he was fighting with me was too obvious."

"Stop it." Zhang Qingkai frowned, and stuffed the grilled sausage into Fu Kun's mouth, "Where is this going? Please stop for a while. Anyway, don't fight with them in the future. One person against a group of people, are you stupid? ?”

Fu Kun was blunt and angry: "I just placed an order today, and I usually have accomplices!"

Xia Fei squeezed Fu Kun's injured arm, and Fu Kun howled in pain.

"Do you know it hurts?" Xia Fei picked up Fu Kun's schoolbag and plucked his hair, "It's a good thing you didn't hurt your bones, flesh and blood, it's nothing to you, right?"

Fu Kun looked up at him, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiaofei, will you take me home?"

Zhang Qingkai handed him another bottle of drink: "Don't be ashamed, I'm afraid of the dark when I go back alone."

"You quarreled with Aunt Xu, I know, I heard it when she was chatting with my mother. You haven't been back this semester, and you haven't gone home during the holidays. Is it because Aunt Xu refuses to see you? You Send me back, my parents come back late tonight, I can pretend that I don't have a key and knock on your door, so you can see Aunt Xu." After Fu Kun finished a long list of words, his mouth was dry, " Actually... Aunt Xu misses you a lot too, she cried in front of my mother."

Xia Fei squatted down, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Fu Kun was a little anxious: "Brother Xiao Fei, don't you really want to? If you think this is bad, pretend I didn't say it."

Zhang Qingkai was also squatting, he put his arms around Xia Fei, and scratched Fu Kun's nose: "Little clever ghost."

Standing at the door of his own house, Xia Fei was so nervous that he was a little at a loss. He nodded to Fu Kun, and Fu Kun immediately knocked on the door.

Inside, Mother Xia asked something, and Fu Kun raised her voice and shouted, "Aunt Xu, it's me, Fu Kun."

The footsteps approached, and Xia Fei's heart beat in his throat. The next second, the door opened, and Fu Kun jumped to Xia's mother: "Aunt Xu, my parents came back late today, I forgot to bring the key, can I stay with you?" Wait a minute?"

Mother Xia didn't answer.

She looked at Xia Fei outside the door, and Xia Fei also looked at her, with a little Fu Kun in the middle.

Fu Kun glanced at Xia Fei, and continued: "I saw Brother Xiaofei on the way, so I went back with him."

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Fei's mind was almost empty. He raised the bag in his hand, which was full of things he bought for them: "Mom... I was shopping in the supermarket, and I happened to meet Fu Kun on the way. , just go home with him . . .

Mother Xia took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, and said softly, "Come in, it's cold outside." After finishing speaking, Mother Xia hurriedly turned around and led Fu Kun into the living room, as if trying to hide her emotions.

Xia Fei didn't enter the room immediately, he slowly looked a few steps away.

Zhang Qingkai smiled and clenched his fists towards Xia Fei, but he didn't dare to get too close to him.

At this moment, the real feeling of being allowed to enter the home again fell into his heart, and at the same time, there was also the desire to shorten the short distance between the two of them.

Zhang Qingkai took a few steps back and opened his mouth to him, Xia Fei vaguely saw the shape of his mouth: "Go quickly."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Fei walked into the room slowly.

Father Xia was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Fu Kun ran up to him and called out, "Uncle Xia."

Father Xia nodded, looking a little absent-minded, stroking Fu Kun's hair. Fu Kun sat beside him obediently, and winked at Xia Fei.

Xia Fei put the shopping bag on the coffee table, took out a grapefruit from inside, picked up the fruit knife on the table, cut the grapefruit skin neatly, peeled off a piece and handed it to Father Xia.

Father Xia didn't look at Yuzu, but looked at Xia Fei's face instead.

Xia Fei smiled: "Dad, your favorite food is pomelo."

Father Xia hesitated for a long time, and Xia Fei's hand froze in mid-air and refused to take it back. In the end, Father Xia stretched out his hand and took the grapefruit.

A big stone fell in Xia Fei's heart, and he calmly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Kun was also happy, he said to Xia Fei: "Brother Xiaofei, give me a piece."

Xia Fei was so excited that his hands were shaking slightly, and before he could speak, Father Xia said, "Peel off a piece for Xiaokun too."

Xia Fei was stunned for a moment, then his hands moved like clockwork.

Xia's mother shouted from the kitchen: "Xia Fei, get a bottle of milk for Fu Kun in the refrigerator."

Xia Fei hurriedly put down the grapefruit, and brought milk to Fu Kun like a whirlwind.

A little later, Fu Kun's parents took him back home. Xia Fei finally had a chance to talk about business when there were only three people left in the room.

"Dad, Mom." Xia Fei struggled to organize his words, "Thank you for letting me go home."

Xia's mother interrupted him: "Xia Fei, we never forbid you to come back, but coming back is conditional, you should understand."

Xia Fei nodded: "I know."

Xia's mother's face softened slightly: "Then are you still with him?"

"Together." Xia Fei looked very calm, "I know, but I can't do it. Mom, he and I can't do it. We never thought of giving up."

Mother Xia let go of all her strength, she said: "I beat you, you beat me, I scolded you, I told you in a good voice and you didn't listen. Xia Fei, don't be so stubborn, okay?"

Xia Fei said: "Mom, I have never been stubborn. Since I was a child, I will do what you ask me to do. To make you feel satisfied is what I have always been willing to do. Maybe you think I am doing it this time. Stubbornness, it's young and ignorant, it's bullshit, but if I don't want to be with him, I really can't do it."

Xia's mother wanted to say something, but Xia's father waved his hand and said, "Go to sleep first."

Xia Fei got up, said "Dad, Mom, good night" slowly, and was about to turn around, Xia Fei asked: "Xia Fei, I taught you since you were a child, before making a decision, you should think carefully, and you will regret it in the future." , but also dare to bear everything.”

"Dad, I will take the initiative to bear the consequences of every decision." Xia Fei looked directly at Father Xia, with respect in his eyes, and more firmness, "—but I will not regret this matter."

After finally returning to his small room, Xia Fei threw himself on the bed and took a deep breath. The conversation with his parents just now made him sweat. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and Zhang Qingkai sent him a lot of messages intermittently. information.

"I have a hunch that you will be absolutely fine this time."

"If your parents agree, we will be half successful, hehe."

"If you are kicked out again, you can call me and I will pick you up."

"I haven't read my message for so long, it must be good news."

"You should stop sending me messages or calling me these few days, and behave better in front of your uncles and aunts. The big deal is that we won't see each other for a winter vacation. We can afford to wait."

"Xia Fei, good night, Wanan."

Xia Fei looked at the five awkward letters at the back, he knew the meaning inside. It was because he knew that he found it a little funny: "Don't be direct when it should be direct."

Xia Fei walked to the window, the window was covered with mist, and he wrote "Zhang Qingkai" crookedly on it.

Thinking of the phrase "Don't leave me alone" he said seriously, he smiled, and added his own name next to it, connecting it with a heart.

Zhang Qingkai, good night.

The next day Xia Fei woke up early and was about to make breakfast first, but unexpectedly Father Xia was already sitting at the table, reading a newspaper in his hand.

Xia Fei walked over: "Dad, did you get up so early?"

Father Xia raised his head, clasped the table with his hands, and said, "While your mother is still asleep, let me talk to you."

Xia Fei sat down and wanted to say something for a long time: "This atmosphere is a bit like I failed the exam and asked you to sign my exam paper."

"Have you ever passed?" Father Xia shook his head, feeling a little emotional, "Xia Fei, you have always been excellent, and you have never made me and your mother worry about you since you were a child. We even take your obedience as a matter of course. Instead, I ignored a lot, and cared a lot less for you. Xia Fei, to be honest, do you blame your parents?"

This was different from Xia Fei's expected conversation. He couldn't recover from his surprise, and retorted: "Never."

Father Xia's face didn't soften much because of this sentence, he said: "Father doesn't support you being together, if you have the right to choose, I always hope that you choose the life path that most people will take."

Xia Fei said: "Dad, I can only walk alone on the avenue you mentioned. I may spend my whole life still trapped in the middle of the road. But on that narrow path, there will be someone who will go out with me and walk a lot. A place where no one can go.”

Father Xia gripped the newspaper in his hand tightly: "Xia Fei... people's thoughts don't change forever, Dad doesn't want you to regret it when the time comes."

"Dad." Xia Fei held Father Xia's hand, pulled out the newspaper, and carefully spread it out, "But, I can't let myself at that time be disappointed in me now."

Father Xia patted Xia Fei's hand, he patted Xia Fei's head hesitantly, walked into the bedroom without saying anything, Xia Fei's suppressed crying came to Xia Fei's ears.

Xia Fei sat down on the chair, knowing in his heart that his parents probably recognized him and Zhang Qingkai.

But he also knew that from the very beginning of this tug-of-war, the parents were the ones who suffered the most.

Zhang Qingkai stood at the entrance of the vegetable market and rubbed his hands, he couldn't stand the cold, he raised his legs and jumped more than a hundred times before his body felt a little warm.

Zhang's mother didn't go shopping with her sisters today, she was carrying a lot of things in her hands, and she was walking very listlessly.

Suddenly, the weight on her hand was gone, she was so startled that she quickly looked aside, Zhang Qingkai smiled at her, and stuffed her hand into his pocket: "Mom, why didn't you wear gloves when it's so cold?"

I haven't seen Zhang Qingkai for several months. Zhang Qingkai lost a lot of weight. Zhang's mother saw her son suffering, and her eyes immediately turned red. But she held back her emotions, cursed "Who is your mother", and went straight forward go.

Zhang Qingkai followed behind and asked, "Mom, do you want any more food?"

Zhang's mother walked faster and faster, making up her mind to ignore him. Zhang Qingkai didn't make a sound, only quietly followed Zhang's mother, and only put down his things when he reached his door.

"Mom." Zhang Qingkai called out.

He was answered by the sound of "slamming" closing the door.

For the next few days, Zhang's mother didn't go to the vegetable market in the morning. Although she wanted to see Zhang Qingkai a few more times from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want him to think too much about it, thinking that the matter between herself and Xia Fei could be solved. accepted at home.

Let it go, if we don't see each other for a day or two, he will naturally know to give up.

Exactly in the past week, just after zero o'clock that night, there was a heavy sound of hail falling outside. Zhang's mother was in a trance, and suddenly woke up from her sleep, and the fragmentary movement of the sound seemed to hit her heart.

Zhang's father woke up, looked out the window, and said to Zhang's mother in bewilderment, "Is it snowing?"

Mother Zhang nodded, she gripped the quilt tightly, and asked in a low voice: "You said, in such a cold day, will there be heating in Xiaokai's place?"

Zhang's father sighed deeply, which was especially clear in the silent night. He put his arms around Zhang's mother and said, "Don't think about it so much, go to sleep first."

Zhang's mother didn't sleep well all night, and she couldn't get up when she usually woke up. Zhang's father got up early, washed up and was ready to go out to buy some food, and bought a steamed stuffed bun that Zhang's mother liked.

He was wearing a heavy down jacket, and the moment he opened the door, the wind blew on him, making him shiver uncontrollably. But immediately, the things on the ground outside attracted all his attention.

Zhang's mother woke up when she heard the sound. She walked out of the room and saw her husband squatting at the door, motionless. At this time, the room was not bright yet, so she turned on the light and found those large and small colorful plastic bags. Inside are all kinds of food and New Year's goods.

Zhang's father finally stood up, he carried all his things into the house, and sat on the sofa in a daze. Zhang's mother walked to the window, the curtains were drawn, and the outside was pure white with ice and snow.

In the thick layer of snow, two strings of footprints can be vaguely seen.

She remembered so clearly that Zhang Qingkai was the first person to get up in the family every winter during the winter vacation. He would ride his bicycle to another boy's house, pick him up, and the two of them would go to the vegetable market together to collect their own vegetables. buy it.

But sometimes that boy got up earlier than Zhang Qingkai, and he would take the earliest bus, braving the blizzard and snow, just to surprise his son.

She once saw Xia Fei shivering uncontrollably from the cold downstairs, but he frowned when he saw Zhang Qingkai walking out of the corridor, ran up to take off his scarf, and wanted to tiptoe around his neck superior.

Zhang Qingkai jumped up in anger, blushed and told Xia Fei harshly, then put the scarf on Xia Fei again.

They didn't ride bicycles that day, they supported each other, and walked out of her sight with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

Zhang's mother laughed and cried, Zhang's father came up from behind her and hugged her tightly.

"I suddenly remembered..." Zhang's mother broke down in tears, "a thing from a long time ago."

Zhang Qingkai followed Xia Fei to the downstairs of Tongzi, a little reluctant to leave: "Can you carry it up by yourself?"

Xia Fei took all the things in his hand, and did a few movements of Popeye: "See you, it's quite easy."

Zhang Qingkai hadn't seen Xia Fei for several days. He wanted to talk to Xia Fei more, but he was afraid that he would be really cold, so he could only wave his hand smartly: "Okay, then go back quickly."

Unexpectedly, Xia Fei stood where he was and laughed triumphantly.

"Zhang Qingkai." Xia Fei sucked his nose that was red from the cold, "Before I came out, my mother told me to call you back to my house for a while."

Zhang Qingkai froze, and immediately shouted: "No! Not today!"

Xia Fei gave him a strange look: "Are you stupid?"

"I can't come to the door empty-handed, I have to prepare for it! Can you do it tomorrow, please tell my uncle for me, I will definitely go to your house with good preparations tomorrow!"

Xia Fei was happy, and he stuffed a raw poultry into Zhang Qingkai's hand: "A chicken in the left hand and a duck in the right hand, that's enough."

Zhang Qingkai was so nervous that his mouth was purple, he was blinded by Xia Fei, and he followed Xia Fei step by step to the front of his house.

"Brother Xiao Fei?" Fu Kun came out of the toilet, and called them in a daze, "What are you doing here so early in the morning with Zhang Qingkai?"

Zhang Qingkai swallowed his saliva, and muttered, "He took me to lead the beating."

Fu Kun looked at him suspiciously, yawned and went back to his home.

Xia Fei kicked him a little: "Your phone is ringing, answer it first."

Zhang Qingkai took out his mobile phone, put it to his ear as soon as he connected it, a familiar voice came from inside: "Hello, Xiaokai?"

Zhang Qingkai and Xia Fei looked at each other, both of them were surprised.

Zhang Qingkai said in a daze: "Hey, mom, you guys took in the things for the morning, are you still missing anything, I'll wait another day if I'm missing anything..."

"New Year's Day in a few days, you can bring Xia Fei back to have a look." Mother Zhang hung up the phone after finishing this sentence.

Zhang Qingkai stared at the phone, speechless for a while.

Xia Fei came back to his senses before him, and he asked: "Your mother, what do you mean by saying that..."

Zhang Qingkai smirked for a moment, then stretched out his arms and hugged Xia Fei violently. The two hugged each other with such strength that even the bones were about to be crushed.

The native chicken that was thrown to the ground by Zhang Qingkai screamed several times, then obediently shut its mouth.

"I must be dreaming." Zhang Qingkai repeated over and over again, "Xia Fei, am I dreaming..."

Xia Fei was also too happy to slow down, he smiled wrinkledly: "Is it a dream, you will know when you get beaten up by my parents later."

Zhang Qingkai remembered that there was still business to do, he took a deep breath, took Xia Fei by the hand, and grabbed the chicken.

Xia Fei turned his head and asked him: "You should have thought about it, if I knock it down, you won't even have a chance to run away."

"Xia Fei, I won't run." Zhang Qingkai's voice was still trembling. He had been waiting for this day from his last life until now. "I finally got the chance to run to you again. How could I be willing to run away again?"

Xia Fei didn't understand his chatter, he smiled and stretched out his right hand, knocking lightly on the door.

The sound of someone walking in slippers was getting closer and closer. Zhang Qingkai held Xia Fei's hand, and felt very clearly that the happiness that had been missed for a lifetime had been tied in his hand again.

The author has something to say:

Always writing and writing, I feel that I have deviated from the original character. The ending is very hasty. The process of coming out of the closet and agreeing at home is also very smooth. There are many, many, many shortcomings, but it did use a lot of thought and emotion.

There is also a very short episode
