"Come on, happy new year." Su Shen stammered.

Song Hailin was wearing a woolen overcoat, and the sweater collar inside was not too high. Although a shirt collar was exposed, it was unbuttoned and drooped just to expose his neck.

Su Shen felt cold just looking at it.

Subconsciously tightened the quilt.

Song Hailin's ears were red from the cold, and he stomped his feet in the room, watching Su Shen and laughing while stomping, just like the second idiot in the village.

"You," Su Shen couldn't bear to see him like this, pulled up the corner of the quilt, and gestured to Song Hailin, "Do you want to warm up?"

After saying this, his teeth accidentally touched the ulcer that had grown on the tip of his tongue a few days ago, and his heart stopped.

Song Hailin stared.

Su Shen smiled, patted the edge of the bed to let him sit down, pulled out the black down jacket from one side and threw it on him, "Here is this ugly thing for you."

"Where is it ugly?" Song Hailin blurted out, and it was only later that he realized that the "ugly thing" Su Shen was referring to the down jacket.

"You've frozen like this for the sake of beauty, why don't you say you're ugly?" Su Shen smiled.

Song Hailin said while putting on a down jacket, "There is something else that you are embarrassed about."

"I can't help it, my skin is thin." Su Shen straightened up and took a down jacket to wrap it up, "If people like me are sold as dumplings, they must be the most expensive ones."

"Look at your big face."

"The skin is thin and the stuffing is big, but the face is not big and it can't hold the stuffing."

Song Hailin didn't reply, but rubbed his hands together while giggling.It's been a long time, Su Zuipao.

Su Shen murmured a few times, and finally made up her mind to get out from under the quilt, wrapping clothes around her body one by one.After getting dressed, he went down to add carbon to the stove.

He froze for Xiao Huomiao, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why... are you back?"

"Chinese New Year, can't it be Chinese New Year?" Song Hailin laughed.

Oh, yes, it's still Chinese New Year.

While Su Shen was thinking that he would come back for the New Year in the future, he also thought, wouldn't he leave again in a few days?

The carbon that had just been put into the stove was mixed with a small piece of stone, which exploded with a bang, splashing sparks along the way.Su Shen smacked his lips for a while, not embarrassed to ask him when he would go back.

"Brother." Somehow Song Hailin also came to the side of the stove, called him, and he came back to his senses, "Have you accepted the letter?"

"What letter?"

"You confiscated it?" Song Hailin raised his voice without paying attention.

Su Shen shook his head.

"I said why there has been no movement." Song Hailin muttered to himself.

It's unreliable, I knew I wouldn't throw it in the mailbox, and the express delivery will save trouble.

"What?" Su Shen asked.

"It's nothing, nothing." Song Hailin quickly waved his hand, "Pretend I didn't ask."

This is too embarrassing, Song Hailin thought to himself, if it takes a few days to receive it, then, it's too embarrassing.

"Hey." He turned his head around and looked around, finally locked his eyes on a mobile phone on the bedside table, held it in his hand and walked towards Su Shen, "Leave your number."

Who knew that Su Shen snatched the mobile phone with his hands, and stared at it, which shocked Song Hailin.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

After snatching it, Su Shen was stunned, and laughed twice, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Those who don't know think I took your family heirloom." Song Hailin patted his heart.

Su Shen put the Nokia on his lap, and smiled narrowly, "Then you are right, family heirloom, have you seen it? This mobile phone has been discontinued, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. At that time, there will be no market for it."

"Then I will become a treasure when I use the elderly phone." Song Hailin took out the elderly phone from his pocket and shook it.

"That's different, my Nokia is a brand...why do you still use an old phone?" Su Shen was stunned looking at his glowing red old phone.

"It's not like you haven't seen it before."

"That was at school," Su Shen grinned, revealing a sharp tooth in the back, "Who knew that you also used the elderly phone during the holidays."

"You don't use the same one for vacation and school, Master Su?" Song Hailin tossed and fiddled with his mobile phone.

"I usually don't bring a mobile phone to school." Su Shen gave Song Hailin a sympathetic look, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Song Hailin.

"You use a smartphone?"

After he finished speaking, he deliberately emphasized his tone and said again, "Is there a smart phone in this place?"

"Student Daheizi, this is the countryside, not the underground."

"There's not even a single network cable, so it's underground?"

"It takes a lot of effort to build a playground and still use the network cable? This can't depend on the people, it has to depend on the public servants." Su Shen tapped his mobile phone, "Don't you talk about saving the number?"

"Oh, save the number."

After staying at Su Shen's house all morning, Song Hailin developed a fever after returning home.

Mother Song thought that Grandma Song was not willing to add charcoal and made the room cold, and Grandma Song thought that his mother made Song Hailin dangle in a thin windbreaker.Each has its own reasons.He didn't bother to answer, he took the medicine and lay down on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep after a while.

The fever came and went quickly, and after waking up, I felt much lighter all over my body.

In the afternoon of New Year's Eve, it is time to worship ancestors.There are many families in the countryside. At this time, as usual, the men of a family gather to go to the grave together, and the women also gather together to pack paper money and make dumplings.

Because Song Hailin had a fever, I didn't bring him to the grave this time.

In fact, he didn't like to go there either. It was annoying to hear those people chattering in the crowd, and it was even more annoying to have to say hello to a group of strangers with a smirk.

He sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and after a while, he pulled on his slippers and went out of the room to find something to eat.

There was no one in the yard, and the glass of the house was covered with a layer of water vapor, so I couldn't see clearly inside.But just by hearing the sound, you can tell that there is heat coming out of the kitchen, Song Ma and grandma are sitting inside making dumplings and arguing with each other, and the little cousin of his aunt's house is in another room Wow La Ula yelled following the cartoon on the TV, hesitated for a while, and didn't want to enter any room.

But it was too cold in the yard, and when he was about to go back to his room, he glanced casually and saw Song Qing passing the gate.

At this time, shouldn't his father go to the grave with the others?

Without thinking too much, he ran to the door and took a look.

The "Dad" was still in his throat, and he saw Song Qing's clothes disappear at the door of the neighbor's house.

Su Shen's family?What did he go to Su Shen's house for?

He followed him out into the courtyard of Su Shen's house.

The yard was very quiet, Su Shen should not be at home, only grandma's room was moving, he sneaked along the kitchen room to the eaves, and looked inside.

As soon as he passed by, he saw Song Qing kneeling heavily at the place where he had just entered. The room was a bit dark, and Grandma Su was sitting on a mahogany chair in the living room and stretched her neck to look at the door.

Song Qing kowtowed three times to her.

Song Hailin quickly covered his mouth, for fear that he would accidentally make a sound.

In the countryside, there is a habit of kowtowing to the elders behind the door. It is not uncommon to see Song Hailin a lot at his grandma's house.It's just that they all go out to kowtow together during the morning of the first day of junior high school, and I haven't seen anyone come out during the time when they should go to the grave in the afternoon.

Moreover, this custom has been developed to the present, and it is mostly a formality. Kowtow means nodding slightly to the ground three times.Song Qing's kowtow was different, it could be said to be the most sincere kowtow Song Hailin had ever seen.It was so affectionate, it was like acting in a costume movie.

Grandma Su didn't say a word like her elders did, she sat on a chair and endured the three heads.

Song Qing was still kneeling on the ground after knocking.

The ground was very humid, and it had been soaked in the cold for another winter. The cold air penetrated into the legs along the cracks in the bones. After a while, Song Qing swayed. Grandma Su seemed to have just seen him, and asked slowly. : "Whose family is this?"

Song Hailin was shocked.

Grandma Su is often out of her mind, and sometimes she doesn't remember people and sometimes remembers wrong people, but she always speaks with a gentle air, gentle and gentle, even if she speaks out of tune, she is always kind.

Today, what he said to Song Qing didn't seem like he didn't recognize someone, but it seemed like he was deliberately criticizing, and there was a chill coming out of the cracks in the words.

Just as Song Qing was about to speak, Grandma Su rushed ahead of him, and said slowly, "Remember, is it from Lao Hai's family? Are you so grown up? Are you married?"

"I'm Song Qing." Song Qing's voice was very low, as if floating on the ground.

Song Hailin frowned, is this still the dad who yelled at him not to make a hole in the ground?

"Oh, Song Qing." Grandma Su stood up while speaking, took a step forward, and suddenly raised her head to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"I……"

Before Song Qing could finish speaking, Grandma Su continued, "Is it useful? Every time you come, isn't that what you say? It's been years, are you annoying?"

Grandma spoke very slowly, with moderate gaps between words. It was clearly a sharp sentence, but when it came out of grandma's mouth, it was unexpectedly calm.

"I..." Song Qing said again, without saying anything else, he took out a bulging envelope from his pocket, and carefully placed it on the table next to him.

Grandma Su glanced at it and said forcefully, "Take it back."

Song Qing shook his head.

Grandma Su repeated, "Take it back."

"You can't let me ignore everything, can you?" Song Qing raised his voice, "Don't listen or ask? Can I ignore me? Do you think I want to care? I can't wait..."

This wished to say it several times, but he didn't say the next thing.

His sudden raised voice seemed to startle Grandma Su, she picked up the envelope and threw it at Song Qing's face.Song Qing didn't tilt his head, and was hit abruptly. The envelope was thrown, and a few pieces of money spilled out of it.

"I wish he could come back and ask me why I didn't take care of his old mother and his son!"

Song Qing shouted at the envelope that hit his face, with a faint cry in his voice.

"A Lin..." Grandma Su also raised her voice as if competing with Song Qing.

Song Hailin stared inside and forgot to cover his mouth.

I thought Grandma Su would continue to say something, how about Ah Lin?Who knows, no, she just yelled these two words, and then muttered twice as if she was muttering to herself, "Alin, Alin."

After a long time, she came back to her senses, and asked Song Qing in a soft tone like she used to when her mind was not clear: "Which family are you from?"

Song Qing snorted and shouted, "Mom!"

After shouting this, Song Hailin took two steps back.

Grandma Su blinked and asked, "A Lin? Are you back?"

"I'm back." Song Qing said.

"Aren't you leaving?" Grandma Su continued to ask as if she couldn't believe it.

Song Qing hesitated for a while, then said, "Let's go..."

It was only halfway through the sound, but Grandma Su ignored it at all, and said to herself, "Aren't you going?"

After speaking, he looked at Song Qing expectantly.

Song Qing pursed his lips, said for a while, "Let's go."

"Aren't you leaving?" Grandma Su continued to ask as if she didn't hear her.

"Go...but I will come back." Song Qing said.

"return?"

"Yes, come back, don't I come back every year?"

"Then you," Grandma Su said with a trembling voice, "when will you come back next time?"

"Next year." Song Qing's voice was soft, the tone unique to coaxing children.

Song Hailin wanted to shout.

He turned around and ran under the wall, sat on a pile of bricks and took a few breaths.Before the winter vacation, he became a frequent visitor to climb this wall, and this pile of bricks was specially placed here by Su Shen as a stepping stone for him.

Before he could catch his breath, he stood up abruptly, stepped on bricks and climbed over the wall between Su's house and theirs.

Thankfully no one is in their yard now.

He ran back to his room and squatted directly on the ground.

My whole body was trembling.

what happened.

Why did his father secretly go to Su's house to kowtow to Grandma Su when he was avoiding everyone?

Why do you say those words?

What is the relationship between his father and Su Shen's father?

Why did you call "Mom"?

What do those words mean?

If it's just an ordinary child, why do the elderly in the family have to make such a big fight, and the two sides are at war.

Song Hailin felt that his heart was beating too fast.

Originally, he was misled by Luan Jingnian's notebook, thinking that his father had a hostile relationship with Editor-in-Chief Su in this matter.Slowly until the doubts were finally dispelled, Song Hailin was very happy when he finally found out that they were friends.

As long as it's not a hostile relationship, everything is fine.he thought.

At first he thought the situation was very left, but he didn't expect it to gradually improve, and even moved an inch to the right. At that time, he was very relieved.

But now things seem to be going too far.

Right out of control.

Su Shen always went to the grave by himself in the afternoon.

The cemetery is in a cotton field that is not very prosperous, and there are clusters of grave mounds in the middle.In fact, he didn't know most of the people who fell asleep here, at most he knew his parents and grandfather, that's all, from the family photos.

Strictly speaking, he didn't know any of them.

His parents' graves are on the far side. Although they are more than ten years old, they can still be called new graves against the backdrop of the surroundings.In the past, they were not interested in engraving steles, they were just a lonely bumpkin. Looking around, in the cemetery of their Su family, only their parents had a stele, and on it was a group photo of the two of them.

He looked at the photo for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and lit the paper money in front of him.

Every year, he can see a pen in front of this monument.Su Shen didn't think of anyone else in their family who would come to visit this cemetery, and he always pretended not to see it.

The pens here, the old ones are taken away and replaced with new ones every year, are all fountain pens.

Su Shen once picked it up and looked at it. It was the kind of pen his father often used.

When a person is dead, there are still people who care about him, but in fact, those who suffer are living people.

Su Shen thought.

But this year, he didn't see a new pen.It turned out that after a year of rain and wind, the old one was stained with rust. Su Shen bent down and tried to pick it up. The rust stuck the pen to the ground, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out.

He glanced at the pen and slowly put it back in place.

"If I die...it's better not to be missed by someone so much." He said to himself facing the fire blown by the wind.

He waited until the paper money had been burned to ashes before he slowly turned and left.

Did not look back.
