all the way

The cat was woken up by heat and urine at the same time. Although the curtains were hung, the things in the room could already be seen clearly, so the cat knew that it was getting late, but—uncle still slept well If it is fragrant, then he has to hold back for a while.

He carefully pulled off the quilt at the back, exposing his back. Liu Xia is like this now, but he put his arms around the cat and wrapped it tightly.

Lying motionless on Liu Xia's right arm, he looked at his face: Uncle's nose is so pretty, and his eyes, which bend down a little when closed, are as good-looking as when they were open, and his lips are also pretty, um ?There is dry skin on the lips, uncle got angry?Why, my uncle drank Kedo porridge every day at home, Yeerhei also drank a big bowl, by the way, Qianerhei didn't drink it, it seems that the next meal can't be sloppy, or uncle should My throat hurts... Oh, Uncle Smelly Six, I dare not kick anymore. Although I kicked my butt, there is still pressure on my stomach. I'm about to pee the bed...

Liu Xia dreamed that his legs were itchy and wanted to scratch them, but he couldn't scratch the itchy place. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die. He stretched his arms desperately, but...

"Ah, uncle, what are you doing scratching my ass? Oh, I missed it, I'm going to wet the bed, oh oh..." The cat jumped out of the bed, pulled on the shoes, and ran out, and came back when it reached the door: "Pants top, pants top, hurry up, uncle, oh, where's the top of the pants?" He lifted the quilt and scratched wildly.

As soon as the cat urinates, the chick will straighten up and move around. If it rubs against Liu Xia, Liu Xia will feel very itchy. This is how he woke up just now. He originally planned to grab the little guy to fix it. Happy, seeing him like that now, I couldn't care less, and hurriedly lifted one of Liu Hai's legs to help him find: "Put on the padded jacket first, why did you take it off again? It was past eleven o'clock when I went to sleep, and I was still wearing my jacket at that time." what?"

The cat rubbed its legs between its legs while looking for it: "I don't know, ah, I can't do it, uncle, I need to pee... Ah, I found it, hohohohohohoho, hurry up, I'm going to pee... "

Liu Hai opened his eyes, only to see a figure with white legs under a padded jacket and then disappeared in a flash: "Huh? You're already awake, baby? Isn't Maoer Yeerhei sleeping in his trousers?"

The habits of a few people, when my family is together, I can use the local language unconsciously, but sometimes I often turn into Mandarin while talking, and I don’t feel anything when I switch at will.

Liu Xia put on his trousers and got out of bed: "Well, I'm used to sleeping naked. I repaired him and put them on a few times. Every time, I fell asleep in the middle of the night and somehow took them off again. Brother Six, I'll go first too. Take a pee, fifth brother... When did fifth brother get up? Why don't I know?"

Liu Hai still didn't want to get up, turned over and lay on his stomach: "Fifth brother has been a soldier for so many years, he won't sleep in late, no matter what time he goes to bed, he will get up at 05:30 and [-] o'clock to exercise as usual."

Liu Xia actually knew this too. During those days when he was at home, Liu Ling was already gone when he woke up every morning.

Liu Xia and Mao'er were so cold that they were sucking cold after going to the bathroom, and warmed up under the blanket for a while before getting up with Liu Hai.

As soon as he and Mao'er entered the main room, they saw Chen Zhenbei pouring the well-mixed eggs into the pot in a circular motion, and Liu Ling holding a handful of washed spinach.

Liu Xia said pleasantly: "Brother Zhenbei? You came back so early?"

Yesterday, although Chen Zhenbei explained that his sudden departure was not because of Liu Hai's joke in the same relaxed and cheerful manner as usual, and Liu Ling also confirmed it, Liu Xia still felt that it had something to do with Liu Hai's joke, although he still felt that it was not because of Liu Hai's joke. With Chen Zhenbei's personality, it was impossible for him to mind a harmless joke about something that was impossible to happen, but because the time when Chen Zhenbei suddenly asked to leave was too strange, he really couldn't think of other possibilities.

Liu Ling smiled at them and put the spinach into the basket.

Chen Zhenbei said with a smile: "Uncle Zeng seems to be still drunk, please keep your voice down, wash your face and brush your teeth first, dinner will be ready in a while."

The cat happily yelled "Uncle Zhenbei", and ran over, stretched out his head to look at the porridge pot: "Uncle Zhenbei, you actually know how to make sweet egg soup? Hehe, uncle, the eggs made by Uncle Zhenbei The sweet soup is just right, neither thin nor thick, with lumps, almost the same as what grandma and mother make, drink more later!"

Chen Zhenbei handed the spoon to the cat: "Take a look, the talisman uncle made doesn't meet your requirements, won't your precious uncle be wronged?"

Liu Xia protested; "Brother Zhenbei, what kind of words are you using?"

But the cat took the spoon with a smile and really went to stir the pot to verify: "Well, almost, it's worse than mine. The lumps I stir up are all flocculent, chewy but not hard. Uncle waits the most. See you."

Chen Zhenbei took the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of gnocchi, and slowly put it into the pot: "Really? There are so many specialties about gnocchi? Then make it tomorrow and let me learn."

Mao'er nodded immodestly: "Okay, I also learned from Aunt Guo who is next door to us. I used to stir this kind of noodles. In fact, this kind of dough is delicious after cooking for a while. We Xiaoyun and Xiaolei They just like to eat this.”

Liu Ling put the shredded carrots on a plate and said, "Company commander, you don't plan to change your career to become a chef. Why do you learn how to make so many sweet soups?"

Chen Zhenbei said: "So it's okay if you don't know it at all. Now that you have learned it, you should just learn it well. At least you have to see other methods, right? Cat, teach uncle tomorrow morning."

"I can teach it tonight. Uncle is a little angry and his lips are dry. He likes to drink sweet egg soup. I will make it for him again tonight and let him drink more. You follow along, but it is shocking." Uncle Bei, you are a little short of eggs now, my uncle likes to drink the kind that is full of egg flakes."

Liu Xia pursed his lips and felt for a while: "Dry skin from getting angry? Why don't I feel it?"

Liu Hai just came in and saw Chen Zhenbei happier than Liu Xia: "Brother Zhenbei, when did you come back? Have you seen Uncle Chen and Big Brother Chen?"

Chen Zhenbei paused slightly and said: "Brother was on duty last night, my dad had a party with some old friends, just like Uncle Zeng, he drank too much, he is probably still asleep now!

Xiao Hai, were you tossing and turning last night and thinking about it? "

Liu Hai took the plate from Liu Ling's hand and said, "Here I come, fifth brother, your cooking skills need to be practiced for a few more years; I don't have it, I fell asleep within 3 minutes after you left, I know you are not a small belly My fifth brother also said that you are talking too much, but you are actually afraid that if you don’t go back, Uncle Chen will beat you if he finds out.”

Chen Zhenbei took a few more eggs and beat them into a bowl: "I haven't been beaten for many years. I got the last meal before being thrown into the army. My legs were almost broken. After that, I'll come back to the end of my life. After arriving in Kyoto, the old man told me that as long as I don’t betray the party and the country in this life, he won’t lift a finger from me again.”

Liu Ling untied the apron she was wearing and tied it on Liu Hai: "You think it's a good deal to trade an injury for a lifetime without getting slapped?"

Chen Zhenbei watched the cat pour eggs into the pot: "It's just a little skin trauma, if you don't tell me, I don't even remember it."

Zeng Guangtong did drink too much yesterday, he didn't even get up for breakfast, and he suffered from a severe headache.

Liu Xia was supervised by the cat and drank two large bowls of sweet egg soup. He felt that his stomach was full, and he felt uncomfortable in the car, so he looked for the toilet first when he entered the mall.

Liu Hai is leaving tomorrow. He has nothing to bring. He would like to bring some colorful fabrics or clothes with traditional Chinese characteristics to Yu Danqiu. Yu Danqiu has seen two flowery skirts worn by female students from mainland China. , I like that color very much.

Liu Xia and Liu Ling couldn't understand Liu Hai buying clothes in China and going to France, the fashion capital. Chen Zhenbei said that his two sisters also like to do the same, but they are buying floral cloth and making it into popular styles abroad. Her second sister has a special liking for cheongsam, and she always wears cheongsam when she attends some decent banquets abroad.

A few people accompanied Liu Hai for a whole afternoon, and Liu Hai finally chose to buy cloth instead of ready-made clothes: six pieces of cloth with red flowers and willow green cost less than 200 yuan.

Liu Hai said: "With this money, you can buy at most one designer sleeve in France."

Liu Xia said: "With this money, my elder brother can buy a car and the same amount of cloth."

Liu Hai was stunned, patted his face and screamed: "Why am I so careless, why didn't I remember it at home? We sell cloth by ourselves and I go out to buy other people's, ouch..."

All the way home, Liu Hai was filled with regret.

In the end, a few words from Liu Ling comforted him: "Yaoer is just kidding you, no matter how poor our family is, do you think our uncle and mother will let you go all the way to bring some pieces of inferior cloth to your girlfriend?" ?

After Yongfang and Liu Miao left in the second year of junior high school, my mother told me that when you brought Danqiu back, would she really be able to give Danqiu a jade bracelet or a gold ring? When Yongfang got married, her mother asked our monitor to bring her a silver lock!Both my uncle and my mother want you to bring the best to Danqiu. "

Liu Hai thought about it for a while, indeed, if it is the first time to bring a gift to Danqiu, it seems really inappropriate if you bring some defective products.

During lunch, Zeng Guangtong finally woke up. He looked at the cloth that Liu Hai bought for Danqiu, and nodded: "Not bad, very beautiful. There is no fixed standard for vulgarity and elegance. The same thing is used in different places and Time may show the opposite effect, these cloths are very common in China, we think it looks tacky, but put it on Danqiu, in your environment, it may be amazing, I think she should like it.”

The snow had almost stopped, and it was too cold outside to reach out. After lunch, the adults sat and continued chatting. The cat couldn’t sit still like thistles grew on its buttocks, and asked to go out to play for a while. Before Liu Xia could speak, Chen Zhen Bei stood up: "Let's go, I'll go out with you, I've eaten a little too much, I just have to do some activities, your uncle won't come easily, let Grandpa Zeng talk to him for a while."

The cat was full of energy, went out with Chen Zhenbei and ran a big circle in the alley, beckoning cats and dogs all the way, not a minute of idleness, came back and continued tossing in the yard, shook the snow on the bamboo, and stomped the crabapple tree and osmanthus tree snow.

He lured Chen Zhenbei to stand under the tree with him, then suddenly stomped on the tree trunk, laughed and ran away quickly, watching Chen Zhenbei covered in snow.

Chen Zhenbei made him laugh angrily, but he also aroused his playfulness. He picked off the snow all over his head and body, and stomped on the persimmon tree with him.

People say that "eighteen is not twenty fine", even if the cat is not as stupid as Chen Zhenbei, he is far behind Chen Zhenbei in physical fitness. He was caught by Chen Zhenbei and carried back under the tree, leaving him covered in snow. Of course, Chen Zhenbei himself was also covered.

He helped the cat pick out the snow from its neck and asked: "Your fifth uncle said in the morning that your grandma wanted to give your sixth aunt a jade bracelet and a gold ring, why is that?"

Mao'er taught Chen Zhenbei Liu Yu's plan to set up his own factory and Liu Hai's idea of ​​family heirlooms to determine the family status of daughters-in-law, and finally said very embarrassingly: "Uncle has ordered a gold bracelet for me, or The thickest and the biggest, we don’t mind the nouveau riche.”

Chen Zhenbei scratched his nose: "You are not an upstart, you are a small money fanatic, hey cat, you really have to treat your uncle better when you grow up, you see how much he worries about you, you are only twelve, he Even the token for your daughter-in-law in the future has been arranged for you."

Mao'er straightened her neck: "Uncle asked for it for me."

Chen Zhenbei said: "Didn't you say that it was your grandma's token of recognizing the status of daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law? Are you a daughter-in-law?"

The cat blinked, and then his face turned into a bun: "I don't care, anyway, my uncle asked for it for me, and I won't give it to anyone. Such a big and thick gold bracelet must be worth a lot of money, so why give it to others? "

Mao'er angrily went back to the house to express his appeal to his uncle, and he was determined not to give the big and thick gold bracelet to others. If his wife wouldn't give it to him, neither could the uncle's wife.

Liu Xia gave a hundred supports: "If you don't give it, my uncle will give it to you. We won't give it to anyone, but my uncle will give it to you when the time comes."

After hearing the whole story, Zeng Guangtong couldn't help laughing: "Changqing has been generous all his life, how could he raise you two miser? He is reluctant to even give his wife a token. It really created a new realm of miser; however, Kitten Where is your big, thick gold bracelet now, son?"

"Ah!?" Mao'er rolled his eyes, then looked at Liu Xia.

Liu Xia shrugged his shoulders: "Uncle has followed you as a miser for nothing, and the bracelet is still there!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Mao'er didn't feel ashamed at all: "Hmph, anyway, if I have it, I won't give it to you. What's yours, what's mine, it's all mine."

After four o'clock in the afternoon, a few people just started preparing for cooking. Dongyan came back, and she didn't bring Fat Chonger. With today's temperature, Fat Chonger's grandma wouldn't let her take Fat Chonger out.

Liu Xia and Mao'er felt a little regretful, but they didn't feel too big. After all, they had never seen Fat Chonger, so they had no feelings for each other.

Liu Hai was a little disappointed, he must have a deeper relationship with Zeng Huaichen and Dongyan, and he had also seen Fat Chonger.

Dongyan was still cheerful and cheerful, she praised Liu Xia and Mao'er, and then started cooking, no one else was allowed to intervene, she did it by herself.

Dongyan had to go back to her mother's house after dinner, and Fat Chong'er had to sleep with her at night. Liu Ling packed the persimmon cream and persimmon cakes they brought and asked her to take some back.

In Rongze, people often use hot persimmons to treat coughs, but persimmons are porcelain, and it is said that the stomach of fat insects is not strong, and eating more will make them feel uncomfortable. Liu Ling and the others did not mention this, only saying that Let me bring it to Fat Chonger's grandma.

Liu Hai was a little sluggish, he was leaving only one night, he thought he would be satisfied and at ease when he came back and saw his family, but the truth is, he doesn't want to leave now at all, he feels more homesick .

Speaking of it might take another two or three years to come back to see his parents and elder brother, Liu Hai endured it and still burst into tears.

Mao'er didn't dare to laugh at Sixth Uncle anymore, and comforted him seriously: "Uncle Six, it's only been two or three years, and you'll be back soon, you, you're so big, you can't be a crybag."

But no matter how big he is, he can't hide the fact that Liu Hai is still a big boy who loves his family. At the airport, he hugged Liu Ling and Liu Xia and cried so hard that even Maoer told him to be careful when he went back to pack his things. Don't ignore and lose the smaller things inside, he didn't realize what it meant.

Before entering the security check channel, Liu Hai's mood finally eased a little. He bid farewell to Zeng Guangtong, and the old man's eye circles were also red. In the past few years, he really developed a father-son relationship with Liu Hai.

When Liu Hai hugged Chen Zhenbei, he suddenly thought of something: "Brother Zhenbei, I know you were afraid that I just went abroad and had no experience. If I didn't get a job, I would be short of living expenses, so you gave me so much money. As a gift, I thank you, but I will definitely pay you back the thousand dollars, there is no such rule in our family, if you don’t pay back so much money from you, let my uncle know, maybe he won’t recognize me.”

Chen Zhenbei glanced at Liu Ling calmly, and patted Liu Hai: "Okay, since it's Uncle Liu's house rules, I can't break it. When you learn and earn money in the future, it's fine to pay me back twice as much." , Xiao Hai, you are outside alone, take care."

Liu Hai hugged Liu Ling: "Fifth brother, don't dare to play tricks, pay attention to the girls around you, maybe there are really good ones who are worthy of you, or you can talk about it yourself, love is different from others Yes, once in a lifetime, if it was introduced by a matchmaker, it would be too unfair and boring."

Liu Ling said: "I know, you take good care of yourself there, you don't need to worry about your family."

When Liu Ling was let go, Liu Hai suddenly reached out to wipe the corner of Liu Ling's left lip: "What is this? Hmm? It's not porridge, it can't be wiped off."

Liu Xia also came over, and saw a faint bruise on the corner of Liu Ling's lips, which would not be noticeable unless he looked closely: "Fifth brother, where did you accidentally knock?"

Liu Ling touched it strangely: "No, I don't feel anything at all!"

Liu Xia also stretched out his hand to touch it, but Liu Ling still shook his head and didn't feel it. Liu Xia was relieved, as long as it didn't hurt, maybe Fifth Brother was also angry and came up with something!

The time is almost up, Liu Hai stretched out his arms to hug Mao'er and Liu Xia together: "Baby, stay home and wait for me to come back, Mao'er, your uncle always wants you to study abroad, you can study hard, boy .”

Mao'er nodded: "I will study hard even if I don't study abroad, and I still have to earn a lot of money for my uncle! Uncle Six, you spend the money you earn outside, and my uncle also earns a lot of money. Don't worry about it." Worry about me."

Liu Xia couldn't say anything at this time, so he had to watch Liu Hai walk away step by step.

On the way back, Liu Xia felt uncomfortable all the time. He used to send Liu Hai to the capital alone when his family was poor. Now that the family has no worries about food and clothing, Liu Hai has to leave them to go to a farther place. I feel that Brother Six is ​​very pitiful.

Zeng Guangtong seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said to him: "Yaoer, although it is very happy for a family to live together, it is also necessary to go out and have a look. You can see more and see more. Your thinking will be broadened, and you won't be limited to a certain time and a certain thing, and let yourself dig into the horns.

If Uncle Zeng hadn't been more experienced when he was young, he might not have survived when he was knocked down and criticized, and he was stepped into the mud when he was proud of the spring breeze.

When I was repatriated by criticism in Kyoto, I thought, isn’t it just going back to my hometown?There are so many people in my hometown, and my ancestors have lived there for generations, isn't it too late?

When Wangning was dismissed and driven away by my own people, I thought, there is not only one Wangning Commune in the world, at worst, I will be sent to other places.

It's not that I haven't thought about committing suicide, but when I think about the people I've met before, they are much more unsatisfactory than me. Don't street beggars live well?Maybe someone will get rich someday by picking up a wallet!The mountain does not turn around, who knows that one day I will meet a noble person to help me turn my danger into good luck, or one day the world will turn upside down again!

Didn't Uncle Zeng meet your uncle after all, and wait until the world turns upside down?

Look at me, I’m talking too much, what I mean is: people experience more when they are young, which is good for the whole life. It may not be obvious when you are in good times, but you will know it when you encounter adversity. What a rare experience. "

Liu Xia said: "I know the truth, but I just don't want to part with Sixth Brother."

Zeng Guangtong could feel Liu Xia's depression. As soon as he got home, he said to Liu Xia and the others: "Yaoer, don't you want to visit your classmate? You and Mao'er are going back in two days. You still want to stay with your fifth brother for a while, then you should contact your classmates now, it is a good time to play with your classmates for half a day today, Zhenbei, Xiaoling, send Yaoer there."

The cat ran to the phone: "Uncle, how much is Uncle Yunjian's pager?"

Liu Xia gave him a number, which was a Hanxian phone, and Maoer left a message: "Uncle and I are in Kyoto now, we are going to look for you, please call back."

The phone rang within a minute, and the cat happily picked up the phone: "Uncle Yun."

"Uncle Yun, who are you?" A man's very impatient voice came from the phone.

Liu Xia saw something was wrong from Mao'er's expression, and answered the phone: "Yun Jian?"

"What Yunjian, who are you?"

"Isn't this Yunjian's pager? The number is ＊＊＊＊＊＊."

"The number is correct, but it's my number. Don't call out if you have nothing to do. I'm busy."

Liu Xia put down the phone, confused: "It's not wrong, when Hei Deqing came to the capital, he called Yunjian, and he called him first. Mao Jianyong and the four of us are Han Xian, and the boss and Zhan Wei are numbers. We all wrote to each other and said The number is for the convenience of contacting in case of a temporary business trip to someone's city, I remember it by familiarity."

Chen Zhenbei picked up his coat: "Don't you know where he lives? Let's go directly to him."

However, Liu Xia and the others kept looking for Tian Hei but did not find Yun Jian.

Considering that it was the Chinese New Year and it was relatively close to Zeng Guang’s house, they went to Yun Jian’s house first. Liu Xia had written several letters here before, so he remembered the address clearly, but that place is now a construction site .

They went to the place where Yunjian rented a house again.

Yun Jian moved out of the basement half a year ago. The basement was too damp. He kept getting all kinds of pimples after he moved in. After the financial situation improved, they rented a large room in a courtyard. Liu Xia according to this After looking for the address, the landlord said that they had moved out 20 days ago, and they still owed him more than [-] yuan in rent.

As for where they went, the landlord said: "Who knows? A group of lunatics who want to be a star and want to be crazy. Rent the house to them."

Coming out of the dilapidated courtyard, Liu Ling said, "You must remember Yun Jian's number correctly, he probably sold the pager."

Liu Xia couldn't believe it. After Yun Jian bought the Hanxian pager, he wrote a letter to show off to him. It's only been a few days. How could he be willing to sell it?

Mao'er said, "Uncle Yun, how poor is he that he sold his pager and couldn't even pay the rent of more than 20 yuan to others, let others say that about them?"
