During the New Year's Eve dinner, Song Yingxiong's attitude was like breaking the ice, and Yu Dong would go home with Song Fengfeng for dinner from time to time to tease the children.

Song Yingxiong still didn't talk to Yu Dong very much.But Song Fengfeng knew that he had already accepted this fact in his heart.

It is not easy for my father to understand and accept that I will live with a man, especially for a traditional and old-fashioned person like Song Yingxiong.

Song Fengfeng didn't know what kind of thinking process he was going through in his heart, and he didn't know what role his stepmother and younger brother played in it.Song Fengfeng was very grateful for Song Yingxiong's understanding and love, and decided not to disobey his father's request in the future.

Song Yingxiong: "You set an example for your younger brother and take a bite."

Song Fengfeng: "Don't eat."

He pushed the fried eggplant box wrapped in flour and egg liquid to Yu Dong: "Eat it."

Disobedience again.Song Fengfeng thought to himself, next time he won't be disobedient.

He doesn't like fried eggplant, but he can accept grilled eggplant, which tastes weird.Because he refused to eat, his younger brother followed suit, pouted and shook his head, refusing to accept the eggplant box that had been cut into small pieces in the bowl.

"Don't learn from my brother." The stepmother coaxed him, "Look at brother Yu Dong, brother Yu Dong eats everything."

Song Fengfeng: "Yu Dong doesn't eat celery."

The stepmother glanced at the celery in the child's bowl and said sharply, "Okay, no one wants to learn. Eat!"

After eating, I have to go for a walk. Sometimes Yu Dong and Song Fengfeng are strolling in the community with their children in their arms. They will run into neighbors who know Song Fengfeng. They look at Yu Dong curiously and ask, "This is it?"

"Family." Song Fengfeng said concisely.

"Brother Yu Dong." The child also learned to respond to the adult's question, and one hand was still grabbing Yu Dong's hair, which made his expression change.

After the annual vacation is over, Song Fengfeng will go back to school to watch the football team's training, while Yu Dong will start to deal with the company's affairs.

The company's office address is not in this city, so Yu Dong packed some luggage and stayed out of town for a while.

When Yu Weiying managed the company, some rules and regulations were changed, but the company's business scope did not expand significantly.The company mainly relies on Yu Qiaoshan's business chain, and does not have many independent businesses.Now that the company has completely separated from Yu Qiaoshan's support, everything seems to start from scratch.

Yu Dong has never seen Yu Qiaoshan or Yu Weiying again, and these two people probably don't want to see him either.He rented another house near the company to live in. In Song Fengfeng's words, the two began a long-distance relationship.

Song Fengfeng couldn't come to see him often. The football team of the No. [-] Middle School wanted to participate in the league. As one of the instructors, he had to accompany him there.Fortunately, the venue of the competition is not too far from Yu Dong's city. When Song Fengfeng is free, he will buy a ticket and come to see Yu Dong.

He hardly had a chance to see Yu Dong at work.

In Song Fengfeng's imagination, Yu Dong should have a similar image to Mr. Yu when he was working, serious and serious, rejecting all interruptions, not even having time to drink water.

Yu Dong did not express a particularly warm welcome to Song Fengfeng's visit.He held meetings in the company during the day and did things, and he had to continue to deal with work when he returned home at night.It's just that when I'm tired, I raise my head and call Song Fengfeng.

Song Fengfeng would immediately bring him tea and something to eat, and he would go to him to look at the files and computer together, and ask him some trivial questions: Is it troublesome?Why are there so many forms?I know this person, does he have two illegitimate children?

No matter what he asked, Yu Dong would answer.After the two finished their supper, Song Fengfeng continued to return to his seat to watch TV with headphones on, and Yu Dong continued to work.

Yu Dong sometimes felt strange, how could Song Fengfeng hear his own voice while wearing earphones?

He asked Song Fengfeng, and Song Fengfeng couldn't tell why: "I don't know, but I can hear it."

They will also talk about buying a house and a car together.Song Fengfeng talked about the car in a clear way, and said that Yu Dong is now Yu's boss, and he can't buy a car that is too casual, and he can't let customers underestimate him.As for the house, Song Fengfeng also has his own set of theories: neither he nor Yu Dong will have children of his own, and the most important thing to consider when buying a house is the space they share and their own private space, so the bedrooms and bathrooms must be large. Well, the balcony must have a wide view, and there must be a study room. He also wants to have a small room for fitness equipment.

Yu Dong was overwhelmed, so he simply left all these matters to him to consider.

While Song Fengfeng was busy dealing with school affairs, he was busy thinking about various issues about the future, and suddenly found that living like this was quite interesting.

Zhou Lan and a group of her old sisters went to Hainan to play, and lived there for a month before returning home. It happened that the cold wave had completely passed, and the southern coastal areas were already full of spring.

Yu Dong put down what he was doing and came back to pick her up, and showed off his new car to his grandma.

Zhou Lan only knew that the car was good-looking, beautiful, and comfortable to sit on. As for the make and model, she couldn't remember what Yu Dong said.

Back on Xing'an Street, Bao Zai, who had been raised by Uncle Qi's family for more than a month, ran around the door, barking, and snuggled up to Zhou Lan when he saw Zhou Lan, sniffing and sniffing her trouser legs.

Baozai, who was carefully held in the arms of Song Fengfeng and Yu Dong back then, has now become a fat treasure.

Seventh Uncle's grandson is in elementary school, and he is mainly responsible for walking and feeding the dogs. Uncle Seventh and Aunt Seventh also feel relieved. After all, Baozai is a famous loyal dog on Xing'an Street. Everyone on the street gave it a thumbs up: "A good dog! It can save people!"

Then he yelled at the door that day, and finally let Zhou Lan be sent to the hospital in time again.

Fei Bao didn't quite recognize Yu Dong anymore, but when Yu Dong got close to him, he would hesitate to come up to him after sniffing it a few times.

Yu Dong had already cleaned the house, Zhou Lan came back to rest for a while, and wanted to go out again.Her body is recovering very well, and Yu Dong always advises her to go out more to play with relatives, neighbors, or her old sisters, wherever she wants.

Accompanying Zhou Lan for a walk on Xing'an Street, Yu Dong saw that Brother Long's food stall had changed its name now, and the two neem trees in front of the food stall had also been cut down, and all of them were paved for parking. concrete floor.

Every household on Xing’an Street is used to planting trees, either papaya or lychee, longan and carambola. When spring comes, all of them sprout and bloom bustlingly.The flowers of longan and lychee are inconspicuous, clustered in clusters, which look like fluffy clusters from a distance.

A neem tree is planted in front of Zhou Lan's house, which only blooms in spring.The petals are white, the flower core is purple, and there are no leaves on the tree, just clusters of flowers.

After dinner, Yu Dong was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Zhou Lan sat by the door and played with Fei Bao.Fei Bao lay at her feet, warming her feet, which were only wearing cloth shoes.

On a southerly day, the air is always heavy with moisture.There is a lot of dust and heavy moisture, and there will be fine rain, floating down like powder.

It was clearly illuminated by the street lights, but the trajectory was not clear.

The street lamp was right next to the neem tree, and Kazuki's flowers were also wet and heavy, full of water, trembling and swaying in the light wind and rain on a spring night.

Yu Dong wiped his hands, walked out the door, took a small bench, and sat beside Zhou Lan.

This bench is also the work of Zheng Suibo, one of the achievements of the Woodworking Association.There were not many people living in Song Fengfeng's house, so he simply gave all these benches to Zhou Lan.

"This is my classmate, who is studying in Japan now." Yu Dong turned over the empty small bench, pointed to Zheng Suibo's name and chatted with Zhou Lan about him.

Zhou Lan is getting old, Yu Dong remembers what she said before, but she has forgotten it.

The order in which people lose their memories always starts from the most recent ones, and the older memories become clearer.

Accompanied by a fat loyal dog, the two of them chatted one after another at the door.Song Fengfeng called Yu Dong back, and Zhou Lan also said a few words to him.Song Fengfeng didn't know what he said there, Zhou Lan was so teased that he kept laughing.

Yu Dong went back to bring her water, and stood in front of the photo frame for a while.

Nearly ten years ago, the photo frames were filled with old photos, from my own childhood and my mother’s childhood.

But now, there are not only two more photo frames, but also many new photos.

There are photos of him, Song Fengfeng and Zhang Jing in front of the church, and photos of him and Zhou Lan going out to play during the Chinese New Year.And there are a few other photos, which were taken by Song Fengfeng and Zhou Lan at the door when he was far away from home.

The person who took the photo was Zhang Jing. He knew that the texture of the film camera was very special.Knowing that Song Fengfeng had actually done such a thing, Yu Dong didn't know how to describe his feelings.

He knew that he loved him, and then he understood more clearly that he was also loved so carefully.

Zhang Jing and Guan Chuyang's wedding was finally scheduled for this year's National Day, and Zheng Suibo also sent them good news.

Yu Dong was very grateful to Zheng Suibo.Zheng Suibo always looks not very energetic in the video. According to him, it is because he is too tired.

"And the food is not tasty." Zheng Suibo muttered, "It's not to the taste of me and Wu Tong, we both cook for ourselves."

Wu Tong happened to be busy in the kitchen of his house, when he heard him mentioning himself, he quickly wiped his hands and ran out to say hello to Yu Dong.

Yu Dong waved his hand at him: "You seem to have lost weight."

Wu Tong touched his face and raised his hand to fiddle with Zheng Suibo's video camera.

"It's not that I've lost weight, it's that he's gained weight." Wu Tong glanced at Zheng Suibo, "The camera he uses has a beautification function to make people's faces thinner."

Zheng Suibo grabbed the book on the table and hit him on the shoulder.

Wu Tong snatched the book, slapped it on the camera, and pulled Zheng Suibo to kiss him.He knew that Zheng Suibo would be soft as soon as he kissed him, so he smiled and kissed him full, and got up unsatisfied: "Hit me once and kiss me once, let's see who will admit defeat first."

"Childish!" Zheng Suibo blushed and wiped his mouth, "Yu Dong is watching!"

"No." Yu Dong sat back in front of the computer with a cup of tea, "I just walked away, so I didn't see it."

Wu Tong said loudly, "I won't show it to you."

Zheng Suibo: "Boring."

Yu Dong was laughing all the time, and was about to continue the discussion when he suddenly heard a beep.

The sound comes from my mobile phone.

It's a typhoon warning.

Yu Dong remembered that there was a typhoon here last year.At that time, Zhou Lan had just entered the hospital. On the night of his arrival, the eye of the typhoon swept across the city, leaving a mess.

The day he came to Xing'an Street was also such a typhoon day.The worst of the weather is over, cities are being restored, and the skies are clear and bright.

Song Fengfeng has already had the summer vacation, except for spending half a day every day training with the football team, he basically has nothing else to do.Yu Dong arranged the things at hand and went home, took Zhou Lan and Fei Bao from Xing'an Street, and went to the place he and Song Fengfeng rented to take shelter from the wind.

Although the floor I live in is not low, fortunately this typhoon just brushed past the edge of the city and did not hit directly.

The two settled down with Zhou Lan and Fei Bao, and immediately drove to the supermarket to stock up.The supermarket was full of people. Everyone was worried about the typhoon last year. They were afraid that there would be insufficient stock and that they would not even be able to drink water.

"There will be no water or electricity cuts this year." Song Fengfeng said while putting instant noodles in Yu Dong's trolley, "But green vegetables will be very expensive after the typhoon, so let's buy some."

There are obviously a large number of aunts and grandmothers who have the same idea as him.Song Fengfeng scrambled in the seasonal vegetable section for a long time, picked up two bundles of water spinach that looked passable, threw them to Yu Dong, and quietly wiped off his sweat.

Yu Dong: "Let's go to the vegetable market to buy later."

Song Fengfeng: "Yes, please."

After the two left the supermarket, they went to the vegetable market on the way, and there was another fight.Song Fengfeng bargained hard, but when the supply was short of demand, his skills were useless, and he could only watch the sellers forcefully raise the price of green vegetables.

Yu Dong and Song Fengfeng had brought the squid they caught to the market to sell before. He knew that Song Fengfeng's mouth was unreasonable, but he was very good at bargaining with others.On the way back, he kept laughing: "Do you remember the time when you sold squid? Once you talked about the price with someone, and you couldn't make any sense after talking for half an hour."

"That's because Brother Long has ruined the market. Most of the squid are in his place, and he has a complete monopoly." Song Fengfeng was not reconciled, "Are we going to go fishing this year?"

"Go." Yu Dong turned the steering wheel, the sky in front of him had already begun to show a gloomy face, and the wind picked up, "If you really can't finish eating, you can send it home or give it to your colleagues."

"I'm looking for a better and bigger boat this year." Song Fengfeng was eager to try, "In addition to fishing for squid, you can also catch shrimp. Have you ever caught lobster? Cook it directly after catching it. Wow, it's so fresh, I don't know how to say it."

"Stop talking!" Yu Dong was starving, "Go home and cook."

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the typhoon landed in a neighboring city, and the outer area affected this side, causing a sudden storm.

Everything on the balcony had been packed back into the house. Zhou Lan, Yu Dong and Fei Bao had nothing to do, and there was no TV to watch. They moved the sofa and sat inside to watch the wind and rain.

Song Fengfeng made dinner, and the three of them ate together. Yu Dong asked Zhou Lan to rest first.After Zhou Lan lay down, he carefully checked the windows of the room to make sure that no water would leak in.

Zhou Lan didn't lie down, she asked Yu Dong: "Why is Hei Feng here? He's not going home?"

"He said he was worried that I couldn't handle it alone, so he accompanied me." Yu Dong turned his head and said.

Zhou Lan asked again: "Do you live together?"

Yu Dong subconsciously denied it: "No. I am the only one in this house."

Zhou Lan didn't speak anymore.Yu Dong left a small lamp for her, and after confirming that Fei Bao was also lying on his stomach in the room, he carefully exited the door.

Song Fengfeng leaned on the corridor and waited for him, silently repeating his words over and over again: I am alone...just me...

Yu Dong smiled and pushed him away.

The two of them were still not asleep, curled up on the sofa and watched the video stored in the computer with headphones on.

The rain curtains fell from the sky densely, hitting the glass windows with crackling noises.There was a flash of lightning in the distant sky, and it fell to the ground somewhere.

Yu Dong was sleepy first, leaned on Song Fengfeng's arm and closed his eyes.Song Fengfeng turned off the computer, casually took the manga aside, adjusted his sitting posture to make him more comfortable, and began to read slowly by himself.Although the sound of wind and rain was disturbing, it also made people feel tired. Song Fengfeng didn't last long, and fell asleep again and again.

The sound of comic books falling to the floor woke them up.

Suddenly, the room was dark and all the lights disappeared.

"The power went out again." Yu Dong scratched his head, jumped off the sofa, and tiptoed to Zhou Lan's resting room to check.

The old man slept soundly. Fei Bao raised his head when he heard him open the door.

Yu Dong signaled it to continue sleeping, and closed the door carefully.There were still a few hours before dawn, and he and Song Fengfeng couldn't hold on any longer, so they simply went back to the bedroom to sleep.

"It'll be fine." Song Fengfeng comforted him, "Do you remember, when we lived on Xing'an Street, we also experienced typhoons."

"Is it the time when the window glass was broken?"

Of course Yu Dong remembered.The two even removed the bed boards, just to keep out the rain pouring in from the broken windows.

"You saved me once." Yu Dong said, "Did you?"

"Yes." Song Fengfeng laughed, "Do you still remember?"

"Of course I will remember." Yu Dong said, "You are so brave, aren't you?"

Song Fengfeng: "Yes."

Yu Dong: "You just want to hear me praise you..."

Song Fengfeng: "Yes!"

He hugged Yu Dong and rubbed back and forth on the bed, smiling softly.

After the typhoon passed, Yu Dong and Song Fengfeng sent Zhou Lan and Fei Bao home together.

No one lived in Song Fengfeng's house, so he ran back and checked up and down, and found that there was no problem except for some garbage flying from nowhere on the second floor.

The most pitiful ones were the two neem trees in front of Zhou Lan's house. Almost all their leaves had been plucked, and a few clusters of green fruits hung on the branches and trembled.

After finishing his work, Yu Dong ran across the Yuhe Bridge to help Song Fengfeng clean up the stagnant water in front of his house. Song Fengfeng asked him in a low voice if he had explained their relationship to Zhou Lan.

"How should I say it?" Yu Dong swept all the water onto the street with a broom, "Grandma, I'm with a man. I'm afraid she'll have a stroke again."

Song Fengfeng rubbed his chin, Zhou Lan's side was more difficult than his father's.

"Then don't talk about it." He told Yu Dong, "Let's be careful in front of her, don't get too close."

Yu Dong turned to look at him: "You need to be careful, don't move your hands and feet at every turn."

Song Fengfeng: "Okay, okay, I will bear it."

Yu Dong looked at him suspiciously.

The two returned to Zhou Lan with the broom and began to help Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt clean up the garbage piled up in front of the door.Halfway through the sweep, an electric car passed by Xing'an Street with two men sitting on it.

"Pretty boy?"

Yu Dong and Song Fengfeng looked up together, and suddenly found that it was Brother Long and Designer Liang on the electric car.

Brother Long squeezed the brakes to stop with difficulty, and raised his hand to greet the two of them: "We meet again."

Designer Liang smiled and waved his hands at them.

Because the Internet cafe has recently been renovated and is going to be upgraded to a slightly higher-grade Internet cafe, so that the Internet fee and the price of various snacks can be doubled, Brother Long and Designer Liang have stayed at the Internet cafe for a month.

"Where are you going now?" Song Fengfeng was very curious. The road in this direction leads to the pier.

"My squid boat capsized." Brother Long said while swearing, "Damn, there is such a thing! Obviously all the boats are connected together with iron cables, but mine is not connected!"

"Okay, okay, stop swearing." Designer Liang said, "Who told you not to have a good relationship with people."

Brother Long raised his voice: "Everyone on the pier is a snob!"

Uncle Seven's son was working at the pier, managing the boats. When he heard Brother Long's words, he hummed heavily and threw a shovel of garbage outside.

Long Ge quickly moved the electric car with his legs to avoid it.

The road to the pier is now full of branches and rubbish, and the four-wheeled car can't drive in at all, so he has to ask Ma Zai to borrow an electric car with insufficient power and brakes that don't work well.The brand of the electric car is called "Aodi". Designer Liang said it was ok, and he was even satisfied. This is obviously the younger brother of his Audi.

Brother Long scolded and told the two that he had decided to build a bigger and newer squid boat.Yu Dong and Song Fengfeng glanced at each other quickly, thinking that this year's squid will be even more difficult to catch.

Before leaving, Brother Long squeezed the brakes again and stopped with difficulty: "By the way, you all know that the big banyan tree in the Buddhist temple in Wutou Mountain was struck by lightning."

"...What???" Song Fengfeng was taken aback, "How is it possible! It's so big!"

"I've never seen it installed a lightning rod." Long Ge curled his lips. "The statues of Mazu are all equipped with lightning rods, but the temple has always refused to install them. Buddha can't protect this kind of natural disaster, so it was chopped off this time."

Designer Liang interrupted him, and said the key points concisely: "That tree is a wishing tree, and many wishing cards hanging on it have fallen off. I heard that someone picked it up early this morning. Have you hung it up? You can go and have a look."

Song Fengfeng: "Of course I did."

Designer Liang: "I don't believe in that kind of stuff."

Brother Long: "Ah? You don't believe it? Then you went abroad to that bridge last time. Why did you buy a lock to lock it on the bridge? You refused to give me the key and just threw it away?"

Designer Liang twisted his waist, Brother Long yelled, frowned, gritted his teeth and shut up, pinched the switch and continued to open it forward.

Yu Dong looked at Song Fengfeng: "Would you like to take a look? But it's already late today, and the temple is closed."

Song Fengfeng looked anxious: "I'll go tomorrow."
