Sad reminder Xiaobai

Zhou Ji stared at the setting sun in the distance in a daze, bent his lips, and continued to lean against Liang Nuo, replying "Well, that's it, I accidentally fell asleep."

Accidentally saw Liang Nuo's tender green hairband swaying in the wind, her complexion was not very good, but at least she didn't have the care she had at that time.

"Ah Ji, Dad is gone, to a place far, far away."

She spoke calmly, without crying or showing any other sadness.

Zhou Ji just glanced at her head like this, watching, seeing that she didn't seem to have the intention to speak again.

"Mother, I have a baby." Zhou Ji said, looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Then, Ah Ji is going to be the little sister." She said.

"kindness"

Zhou Ji nodded sullenly, and sighed, yes, sister, this word is really nostalgic.

The sweltering wind finally became cooler in the evening.

"A Ji"

"kindness"

"The peach blossoms in the yard are blooming this year." She didn't know where she was looking, but she heard her whispering.

"Yes, I saw it on the mountain too."

"Unfortunately, most of it has fallen by now, only the bare tree poles are left." Her voice was so low that Zhou Ji had to listen carefully to hear it clearly.

The branches were gently swayed by the wind, and there were bursts of cicadas singing, but Zhou Ji was a little embarrassed. This scene was a bit like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, suddenly didn't know what to reply.

The two sat quietly on the threshold. When Zhou Ji was at a loss, Liang Nuo stood up and said, "Then, I'm going back."

Zhou Ji also stood up and said, "Yes, I know."

Seeing her slender figure walking away slowly, Zhou Ji rubbed his eyes and returned to the room.

The room was much darker. My father just came out of the kitchen and turned on the lamp. My mother was lying on the bed in some discomfort, with a few pillows placed behind her.

Zhou Ji walked over, feeling a little tired, looking at A Niang.

A Niang opened her squinted eyes, putting away her tiredness, and when she reached out to hold Zhou Ji's hand, she said, "Hand, why is it so cold, come, lie down beside A Niang."

Zhou Ji, with a stuffy head, took off his shoes and lay on his side, A Niang specially took out the pillow so that Zhou Ji could lie down comfortably.

A Niang's hand patted her back lightly, feeling extremely comfortable, her little body, which had been exhausted all day, just fell asleep again in a daze.

When he woke up again, the warm feeling on his face woke Zhou Ji up, but he didn't open his eyes.

It was probably A Niang, holding a handkerchief and gently wiping Zhou Ji's face, when the sound of pouring water was heard.

Later, I heard A Niang say, "Oh, Ah Sheng has really suffered for this child these days."

A deep voice sounded from the side, "Tomorrow I will stew the flower hen. Firstly, it is for you to nourish, and this child is also growing up, so he needs to eat something good."

"Hey, that's good too."

Zhou Ji buried himself in the bed, calmed down his emotions, and breathed quietly and steadily.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ji woke up, and Auntie couldn't lie down or sit up because she was not feeling well.

Zhou Ji knelt aside, extremely careful, stretched out his hands and beat his back, thinking the doctor said that in about October, he would have to wait for labor.

These last few months are critical.

It wasn't until the aunt next door came that Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief. The uncle grabbed the chicken, held a knife in his hand, looked inside the house, and then went outside to kill the chicken with peace of mind.

Zhou Ji added firewood to the stove, the kitchen was very hot and airtight, Dad came in with the chicken, and said, "Girl, go in and watch Mommy."

Only then did Zhou Ji seem to be relieved, he went out of the kitchen, hurriedly washed his face with clean water, stretched out his sleeves, and wiped dry indiscriminately.

After entering the back room, A Niang held a cattail fan in her hand, fanned it a few times from time to time, and then put it down again.

Zhou Ji approached, sat next to him, held a cattail fan, and fanned at A Niang.

But after a while, A Niang suddenly said, "Ah Ji, do you want to see my brother?"

Zhou Ji leaned over suspiciously, A Niang held Zhou Ji's hand and rested it on the semicircular stomach. To be honest, Zhou Jishi really didn't have this experience.

I was very nervous, and I was deeply afraid that if I accidentally hurt the baby in Aniang's stomach, I would really have to die to apologize.

At first, Zhou Ji didn't feel anything when he was stunned, but after he got used to it, Zhou Ji was taken aback by the slight movement, opened his mouth in surprise, and said after a pause, "Aniang, he's moving."

A Niang nodded, smiled, and replied, "Well, yes, my brother is moving, maybe soon, Zhou Ji will see him."

Zhou Ji subconsciously wanted to put his ears to the side, but A Niang couldn't help pinching her ears and said, "How could Ah Ji do the same thing as Dad."

It's a bit embarrassing, there's no way, people always have the same curiosity.

At lunch, when Father came in with a big bowl of chicken soup, Zhou Ji's hungry eyes stared straight.

A Niang drank the soup and said, "Aji eat more."

"Yeah, I know." Zhou Ji bit the meat.Looking back, I haven't eaten chicken legs for a long time, and I am very moved.

It was rare for Zhou Ji to eat such a full meal. Dad sat in the back room to take care of his mother. Zhou Ji had a rare free time, looking out at the road that was scorching hot in the sun.

Zhou Ji took the straw hat, went out of the yard, and walked towards Liang Nuo's house on the way.

Noisy cicadas are really boring, Zhou Ji thought as he walked.

When I arrived at Liang Nuo's house, I glanced at the door, um, I was sure it was unlocked.

Pushing open the wooden door, the gravel path in the yard was shining brightly in the sun, Zhou Ji looked at the yard where he hadn't been in for nearly half a year, and caught a glimpse of Liang Nuo sitting under the peach tree.

Zhou Ji had seen the quiet Liang Nuo a lot, but this kind of Liang Nuo made Zhou Ji feel uncomfortable.

As he approached, Liang Nuo realized that someone was coming in, raised his head, and watched.

Standing in front of Zhou Ji, seeing that the peach tree had really fallen half down, looking at Liang Nuo's empty eyes, Zhou Ji felt as if he was being grabbed, it hurt.

Sitting beside her, tilting his head, and leaning on her arm, not only Zhou Ji has grown a little in the past half a year, Liang Nuo has also grown a lot taller.

Liang Nuo smoothly stretched out his arms to embrace Zhou Ji, hugging him in his arms, Liang Nuo took off the straw hat that got in the way.

The sudden light in front of him made Zhou Ji squint and couldn't see clearly.

Liang Nuo's voice sounded softly next to his ear, "Ah Ji, I will bury Dad next to A Niang, this is what Dad wants."

After Zhou Ji got used to the light, he opened his eyes and looked at Liang Nuo, but he didn't know how to speak.

"In the future, I will also be buried next to A Niang."

"Aji, you must not understand what I'm talking about, right?" She lowered her head and asked.

"It's okay, even I don't understand what I'm talking about."

Sometimes she looked at the mountains in the distance, sometimes she lowered her head, stretched out her hand, and pinched Xia Zhouji's nose lightly, but didn't speak any more.So passed the afternoon.

Until the sky was getting dark, Zhou Ji sat up, and she also stood up, stretched out her hand, and said, "I'll see you off"

The same road, the same two people, but there are already many different things.

Zhou Ji held Liang Nuo's hand and walked slowly, Liang Nuo's palm was slightly cold, quietly, the road always came to an end.

She stopped at the door, Zhou Ji didn't enter the house, held Liang Nuo's hand, lowered her head, and asked, "A Nuo, do you still want to go?"

Unsurprisingly, Liang Nuo nodded, and replied, "In the past six months, the shopkeeper helped pay for Dad's medical expenses and these funeral expenses. I have to work hard."

"Then when will you come back?"

"I don't know, maybe it's been a long time, maybe I won't come back."

"Oh, really."

Zhou Ji said sullenly.

"However, I will come to see Aji."

Hearing this, Zhou Ji felt a little better. He raised his head and looked at the sunset behind her, only to realize that his height was only up to her chin.

She suddenly said, "I just found out that Ah Ji is also nine years old this year."

"Everything is changing so fast."

Hearing her soft sigh, Zhou Ji looked at the light in the room and said, "Arnuo, I'll go to your place tonight and sleep with you, okay?"

Zhou Ji lowered his head awkwardly, looked at the ground, heard Liang Nuo, and replied "OK."

When Zhou Ji heard this, he let go of his hand and said, "Then I'll go into the room and talk to Auntie, wait for me."

"Ok, I will wait for you."
