Unique memory

The plane landed at Lantian Airport in City Z. Xu Jia called Xu Zhenglin as soon as he got out of the passageway. Wei Lingyang pushed the suitcase and walked beside him. on the head.

Xu Jia hung up the phone and took off his hat: "It's so cold."

"It will be windy when we go out." Wei Lingyang stopped, put his hat on carefully, and covered his ears with it, "Is uncle here?"

Xu Jia asked him to put on the hat obediently: "It took a while to say it, let us wait."

Wei Lingyang looked up and saw several small shops on the second floor, and suggested: "Wait upstairs, and drink something hot by the way."

"Okay." Xu Jia nodded.

The two of them went to a small coffee shop on the second floor. The heating was turned on in the shop. Xu Jia took off the hat he had just put on, and sat down with Wei Lingyang where he could see the downstairs. They ordered a cup together. While drinking the hot drink, he waited for Xu Zhenglin.

About ten minutes later, Xu Zhenglin arrived outside the airport, and the two went downstairs to find him with their good things.

It was already the beginning of December at this time. After the winter in Z City, the temperature at night was extremely low. As soon as Xu Jia stepped out of the airport gate, Xu Jia felt a huge chill hit his face. It was so cold that he shrank his neck. Wei Lingyang saw and help him tie a knot in the scarf.

Xu Zhenglin's car was parked directly opposite the door. Seeing them coming out, he rolled down the window and shouted. The two hurried over, stuffed the suitcase into the rear compartment, opened the door and got in the car.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Xu Zhenglin in the driver's seat turned around and asked the two of them. He took a hand warmer bag prepared in advance from the co-pilot's seat and handed it to them, "Warm your hands first."

"No, I just arrived not long ago." Xu Jia took the warm handbag and handed it to Wei Lingyang, and gave Xu Zhenglin the hot coffee he bought at the coffee shop just now: "No sugar added."

Xu Zhenglin drank coffee without sugar, and Xu Jia's considerate behavior made him feel very good. He took a couple of sips of coffee, put it aside, and asked with a smile, "Have you brought enough clothes? The winter here is much colder than at home." .”

"I brought a big suitcase." Wei Lingyang said, holding Xu Jia's hand over the handbag, "Grandpa and grandma thought we were coming to live permanently."

"The resident is afraid that you are not used to it. It's not bad to come and play once in a while." Xu Zhenglin laughed when he heard this, and started the car to go back. "Is grandpa and grandma in good health?"

"Very good." Xu Jia replied. Although Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are old, their bones are still strong. Apart from Jiang's father's high blood pressure, there are no other major problems.

Xu Zhenglin drove the two of them to have dinner before returning to his residence. He lived in a two-bedroom apartment of more than 60 square meters allocated by the research institute. This is where Xu Jia and the others lived when they first came.

These years, Xu Zhenglin has always been alone. He has never remarried or had a partner in a relationship. His life is focused on work, and he spends more time in the research room than in the residence. Not much has changed in one visit, it's poignantly simple.

The room where Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang lived was cleaned very clean, and the quilts had already been made.

Wei Lingyang opened the suitcase, took out the coats brought by the two and hung them in the closet, and then took out the clothes to be worn in the bath for Xu Jia, and asked him to take a bath first, and then he would wash them himself after washing. to wash.

After both of them packed up, Xu Zhenglin came in with two bottles of hot milk, and one of them gave a bottle: "Drink some milk so you can sleep at night. You are tired from the flight all afternoon. Go to bed early after drinking."

The two nodded in agreement, and after he went out, Wei Lingyang took the milk and said to Xu Jia: "Why do I feel that your father still treats us like children? Give us milk."

"In the eyes of your parents, let's see it this way." Xu Jia said indifferently, and took a sip from the milk bottle cap, "The milk here is delicious, you should try it too."

"Okay." Wei Lingyang lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, licking off a little bit of milk stains on it, "Well, sweet."

"..." Xu Jia was speechless.

The weather in City Z is very dry, worse than City B or City H, especially because there is heating in the house. After one night, Xu Jia's lips were cracked, and when he got up in the morning, there was still a slight blood stain on it.

"Why did you do this?" Wei Lingyang frowned, covered his dry lips with a towel soaked in hot water, softened the dry skin on it, and then put on lip balm, "Drink more water."

"It was always summer when I came here before, and I didn't know it would be like this in winter." Xu Jia pursed his lips, and wanted to bite the skin on it with his teeth, but Wei Lingyang stopped him.

Xu Zhenglin went to the research office early in the morning, and left the meal card and pass of the cafeteria for the two of them before leaving, telling them to go to the cafeteria in the compound to have breakfast first.

Xu Jia came several times, and the cafeteria staff knew that he was Professor Xu's son. Seeing that he came late, they even specially helped to reheat the cold porridge.

After breakfast, Xu Jia called Xu Zhenglin and left the institute with Wei Lingyang.

The last time they came to Z city, Xu Zhenglin had already taken them to visit all the more famous scenic spots, but it was autumn, and the mountains on both sides of the road and at the end were all golden, and now it’s winter, looking up, The mountains in the distance are covered with large expanses of snow, and the scenery of the two seasons is very different. It is not boring to go back to the original route.

The scenic spot that Wei Lingyang has the most impression of here is Xian'e Lake, because he kissed Xu Jia there at that time and revealed their relationship to Xu Zhenglin.

Among all the elders, Xu Zhenglin was the first to know their relationship, and also the first to accept and support them. Wei Lingyang still remembers what Xu Zhenglin said at that time.

The green Xian'e Lake is like a huge piece of exquisite emerald. If you look closely, you can see the frozen fish and aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, just like the natural decorations in the emerald. Xu Jia took a lot of photos, each of which is beautiful Be thrilling.

There is a small ancient town near Swan Lake. The streets in the town are small, but very lively. There are many food stalls on both sides, and there are all kinds of special foods. It is somewhat similar to the Gouzi Lane snack street in B City, except In addition, there are many specialty shops.

Xu Jia picked out a lot of special products, packed them into ten parts, filled out the courier form and asked the store to send them back. Before he came, he asked Jin Hao for the delivery address.

After leaving the specialty store, Wei Lingyang dragged him to a clothing store next door. There were ethnic minority costumes from Z city, and the styles were very distinctive. Besides the clothes, there were also headwear and hats.

Wei Lingyang didn't have much interest in these clothes, but Father Jiang and Mother Jiang liked them, so he thought about bringing two sets back for the two old people.

When Xu Jia came alone before, he often came here to buy some special products and send them back to relatives and friends, but that was all there was, and there was no other meaning of wandering around. Now that there is Wei Lingyang by his side, I feel that every step I take is countless. Clear fun.

The two of them just walked around in the ancient town, looking for a place to rest when they were tired, and did not leave the ancient town until the afternoon.

Although the institute has a cafeteria, every time Xu Jia comes here, he buys vegetables and cooks for himself. After all, eating in the cafeteria with his father is different from eating at his own home.This time was no exception, when he and Wei Lingyang went back, they stopped by to buy vegetables at the market.

When Xu Zhenglin came home from get off work, he heard Xu Jia's voice from the kitchen as soon as he entered the door: "Chop that garlic, and give me that tomato."

"Here, what else do you want?" Wei Lingyang asked.

"Wash the vegetables."

"Okay."

Xu Zhenglin took off his coat, saw the backs of the two busy in the kitchen, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and then saw Wei Lingyang bent down and kissed Xu Jia, and Xu Jia kissed him back.

Xu Zhenglin: "..."

"Cough." Xu Zhenglin coughed lightly, looked at the two and said, "How about cooking?"

"Father is back." Xu Jia turned to see him, "Sit down for a while, and you can eat right away."

"Okay." Xu Zhenglin responded with a smile, thinking how good it feels to have his son by his side.

During the meal, Xu Zhenglin asked the two where they went to play today, Xu Jia answered them one by one, and Xu Zhenglin said: "Tomorrow I just take a break, let's take you to ride a horse."

"Okay!" Wei Lingyang became interested when he heard it, "Where are you going to ride? Grassland?"

"Yes." Xu Zhenglin smiled, "But it's a bit far away. I took Jiajia there once before."

"Is it fun?" Wei Lingyang turned to ask Xu Jia.

"It's very fun, and the scenery is also very good." Xu Jia said.

"Then let's go horseback riding!" Wei Lingyang decided, he had also been to the horse farm with Lu Zhaoyang in the United States before, but the horses raised in the small horse farm are not as handsome as those in the prairie.

The three chatted while eating, discussing the next fun route, they were interrupted by a knock on the door, and Wei Lingyang got up to open the door.

The person who came was a woman in her 40s with curly hair and gold-rimmed glasses. She was surprised to see Wei Lingyang and asked politely, "Hi, I'm Professor Xu's colleague. Is he at home?"

"Yes." When Wei Lingyang heard that she was looking for Xu Zhenglin, he turned his body to invite her in, "Please come in."

"Thank you." The other party thanked him. Xu Zhenglin, who had just walked in, saw Xu Zhenglin coming out, and greeted him with a smile, "Old Xu."

"Professor Kong, are you back from vacation?" Xu Zhenglin was a little surprised, "Isn't there still two days left? Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, the leader has called back temporarily, saying that there will be a meeting the day after tomorrow." Kong Huangli smiled, her eyes fell on Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang, "These two are..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my son Xu Jia." Xu Zhenglin pointed to Xu Jia, then pointed to Wei Lingyang, "This is my son's boyfriend Wei Lingyang, who is also my son. Jiajia, Yang Yang, this is a colleague of my research institute, Professor Kong."

Xu Jia: "..."

Wei Lingyang: "..."

Kong Mingli: "..."

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang didn't expect him to introduce their relationship so directly and clearly. They glanced at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then Qiqi said hello to Kong Mingli: "Hello, Professor Kong."

"Okay." Kong Mingli was also stunned for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses. Although she was surprised by the relationship between the two, she didn't investigate further. She just gave them the bag in her hand, "I brought some from home." Here are some specialties for you to try."

"How embarrassing..." Xu Zhenglin waved his hand.

"It's all home-made lo mei, not something expensive." Kong Mingli saw that he declined, and put the things on the side cabinet.

Xu Zhenglin had no choice but to thank her and keep the things.

After Kong Mingli left, Xu Jia took the special products she left behind into the house, opened it and found that there were many sealed packages of lo-mei, such as pig's feet, duck feet, duck necks, sheep's feet, etc., which looked very special. tasty.

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang looked at each other, and Qi Qi looked at Xu Zhenglin.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Zhenglin was puzzled.

"Father." Xu Jia picked up a bag of sealed sheep's hooves, and looked at him implicitly, "This Professor Kong is very kind to you, and he also brought you special products."

"I brought quite a lot." Wei Lingyang picked up another pack of pig's feet.

"Professor Kong is very nice." Xu Zhenglin nodded.

"Oh..." Xu Jia nodded, turned the corner and said, "Then her husband and children are very happy."

"Professor Kong is not married yet, he is busy with work."

"Oh..." Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang looked at each other again, looked at Xu Zhenglin meaningfully, and said in a drawn out voice, "Not married..."

"..." Xu Zhenglin was stunned for a moment before he realized what these two little bastards meant, and his old face blushed, "What are you thinking! Professor Kong and I are serious colleagues!"

"I didn't say it's not serious." Wei Lingyang said, "It's quite serious to develop into other relationships."

"Yes." Xu Jia nodded.

"..." Xu Zhenglin was speechless, and put the bowl away with a stern face, "Do you still want to eat?"

"eat."

"eat."

Wei Lingyang and Xu Jia looked at each other tacitly again, and sat down to eat obediently.

When sleeping at night, Wei Lingyang sat cross-legged on the bed, and analyzed with Xu Jia the possibility of Xu Zhenglin and Kong Mingli: "I paid attention to Professor Kong's eyes, she was very gentle and loving when she looked at your father. "

"You can even understand this?" Xu Jia didn't believe it. Although he also wanted his father to have someone to accompany him, he couldn't just see and pull each other, right?

"Of course." Wei Lingyang said firmly, "That's how you looked at me back then, tenderness like water, passion like fire."

"...Blow it up, your brain reflex arc was as long as the school runway back then." Xu Jia opened his hands to compare the length, looked at him with disdain, and couldn't agree with his adjective, Wei Lingyang asked back then Whether he likes Liang Xiuxiu or not is just a slow one.

"Hey." Wei Lingyang touched his nose, threw himself on him, put his arms around him and said, "Anyway, I think Professor Kong is pretty good."

Xu Jia nodded in agreement. Although it was the first time I met her, Kong Mingli had a very high-ranking intellectual temperament. When she found out about his relationship with Wei Lingyang, she was only briefly surprised, and there was no unnecessary exploration or discrimination. .

"Actually, I really hope that my dad can have someone to accompany him. It's too hard for him alone." Xu Jia sighed. After all, he couldn't stay with his father for a long time. The distance was too far, and he didn't know when the other party was sick.

"I know." Wei Lingyang kissed him, knowing his worry, and comforted him softly, "We can visit uncle often in the future."

"Ah."

The next day, Xu Zhenglin got up early in the morning and went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast. On the way back, he ran into Kong Mingli. He wondered if it was because Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang were talking nonsense last night, so he felt inexplicably embarrassed.

The two chatted all the way back, Xu Zhenglin remembered that Kong Mingli gave a lot of lo mei yesterday, and seeing that she was also carrying breakfast, he asked her if she wanted to eat together at home.

Kong Mingli was alone when she went back, so she readily agreed.

So when Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang came out after changing their clothes, they saw Kong Mingli sitting in the living room, and Xu Zhenglin who was pouring water at the side, they couldn't help but looked at each other again, and silently said two words in tacit understanding - there is a joke.

After breakfast, Xu Jia invited Kong Mingli to go to the grassland to play together. Kong Mingli happened to be fine, so she agreed, and the threesome turned into a foursome.

The grassland on horseback is far away from the research institute, and it took more than two hours to drive there.

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang deliberately left Xu Zhenglin and Kong Mingli a chance to be alone. With the help of the staff at the racecourse, they selected a horse, put on the protective gear, and rode away on the horse. Xu Zhenglin knew that the two of them fought What do you think, but there is nothing you can do.

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang rode their horses slowly on the grass. Although the temperature was low, the sun was very bright and they felt very comfortable on their bodies.

The two horses walked around for a while, Wei Lingyang looked at the sky high and the land in front of him, and said on a whim, "Let me sing you a song."

"What song?" Xu Jia tilted his head and glanced at him, "Qilixiang? Can you change it to something else?"

"Yes!" Wei Lingyang cleared his throat, and sang a suitable song, "Man of the horse, you are in my heart, and I would like to melt into your broad chest——"

Accidentally yelled too high, and the last sentence broke.

"Pfft——" Xu Jia was amused by him, and his shoulders trembled as he bent his eyes and smiled immediately. Under the blue sky and white clouds, he actually showed a childish youthful look.

Wei Lingyang was in a trance for a moment, and stretched out his hand to pluck his bangs: "Jiajia, come here."

"Huh?" Xu Jia leaned over, and was about to ask him what's the matter, when he leaned over and kissed him.

Kong Mingli, who was ten meters away from the two of them, happened to see this scene, and turned to Xu Zhenglin who was beside her and said, "The two children have such a good relationship."

"Yes." Xu Zhenglin looked at the backs of Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang, and thought of the paths they had taken over the years, and sighed, "I hope they can be together well in the future."

Although Kong Mingli is not familiar with Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang, she also knows that this society is not tolerant of homosexuality, understands his worries as a father, and comforts him with a smile, "It will."

Her gentle smile and words seemed to carry some kind of power, and Xu Zhenglin's inner worries were inexplicably soothed a lot, and he also laughed.

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang left for City B after staying in City Z for ten days. After all, both of them still had jobs, so it was impossible to stay forever.

On the day of departure, Xu Zhenglin sent the two of them to the airport. Before leaving, Xu Jia whispered to Xu Zhenglin, "I asked Aunt Kong to take care of you, and she agreed."

Xu Zhenglin was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt like he lost his old face: "You child...why worry so much? Hurry up and queue up for the security check."

"Then let's go, take care of your health, and I'll see you next time." Xu Jia said a few words, and went to line up for the security check with Wei Lingyang.

Xu Zhenglin didn't leave, and stood there watching them. Wei Lingyang passed the security check, turned around and saw that he was still there, raised his hand and shouted: "Dad, go back."

Xu Zhenglin waved his hand, his eyes were slightly warm.

As the plane took off, Xu Jia looked down the window and waved at the land. Wei Lingyang stretched out his hand beside him and comforted him: "Uncle said he will go back for the Spring Festival, and we will see each other soon."

"Yes." Xu Jia nodded and pulled down the curtain.

"Go to sleep." Wei Lingyang covered the blanket for him, "I'll call you when we arrive."

"Okay." Xu Jia adjusted a comfortable posture, leaned his head on Wei Lingyang's shoulder, and closed his eyes.

Wei Lingyang turned his head and kissed the top of his hair, and the hands of the two were tightly intertwined under the blanket.
