unmatched happiness

The town was not big in the first place, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the school not long after they left. Chen Chen was taken aback. The school had changed drastically. There was only one teaching building, and the dormitory was on the other side of the playground. The dormitory was still a bungalow when he lived. It was converted into a building, but unfortunately he also graduated.Now a beautiful teaching building has been built opposite the gate, so there are two teaching buildings in the south and east, and the dormitory building in the north. The school is closed during the summer vacation, and there is a guard on duty. Chen Chen went up to explain his purpose, and then After mentioning the names of several teachers, the doorman happily let them in. In fact, the teaching building and dormitory buildings are locked, so they can only go to the playground to see.

It's midsummer, and the flower beds in front of the teaching building are full of beautiful flowers. Chen Chen said with a smile: "When we were in school, there was a shared area for cleaning. We also need to water and take care of these flowers and plants."

Seeing his happy look, Chen Zhenzhou took out his mobile phone and took a lot of photos. The two of them walked around the playground. They sweated a lot in summer. Unable to stop laughing out loud, Chu Zhenzhou asked in a daze, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Chen said: "It's nothing, I just think you look like this, accompanying me around the playground, I always feel that the picture is too incredible"

Chu Zhenzhou thought that it was unbelievable. It turned out that it was a good feeling to be on the playground with his lover.

The two walked around the empty campus, Chen Chen dragged Chu Zhenzhou away, he still missed Father Chen a little, walked to the gate, paused at Chu Zhenzhou's feet and said, "I'll take a photo for you and the gate."

Chen Chen raised his forehead: "This feels too shameful, otherwise you will shoot with me and ask the doorman to help."

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhenzhou readily agreed, and the two of them stood at the school gate and took a photo together. Chen Chen looked at the photo with his mobile phone and said, "This is too high school, haha, let's not look too funny."

Chu Zhenzhou asked, "What is Secondary School? I think it's a good shot. I'll wash it out and put it at home."

For the first time, Chen Chen felt that the generation gap was so long.

Chen Chen was worried about his father, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace. The two returned to the hospital quickly, and heard the lively voices in the ward from a distance. As soon as they entered, they saw Father Chen sitting on the bed talking to someone. I don’t know them. When Father Chen saw them coming in, he hurriedly introduced: “Son, this is your uncle and grandpa, and their uncle Xiaojun. Do you still know each other? When you were a teenager, I would take you to their village. I drank Uncle Xiaojun's wedding wine"

Chen Chen tried his best to think back and said, "Is there an old-fashioned stone well in their village?"

The older man next to him said: "This kid still has such a good memory. I remember learning well since he was a child, right?"

Chen Chen hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you have won the prize, but when I went there that year, we children were still playing around that well, and I was deeply impressed."

Several people started talking enthusiastically, Chu Zhenzhou stood back and was standing next to Chen Min, the little girl kept looking at him, he smiled when he saw this, it seems that the sister-in-law will have to please her in the future .

Uncle, grandfather, father and son got up and said goodbye after staying for a while. Brother and sister Chen Chen sent them out of the house with their mother. Chen Zhenzhou poured a glass of water for Father Chen. , you can still get used to the food here.”

Chu Zhenzhou hurriedly said: "I am a native of H City, and I am used to eating the dishes of my hometown. The taste here is very good."

When Chen Chen and the others came back, Father Chen sighed and said, "Since your grandma passed away, uncle and grandpa haven't seen us much, this time I can come to see me, this old uncle is also interested in me."

Chen Chen knew that his father had always attached great importance to affection, and it was inevitable to be nostalgic when he was old, so he hurriedly comforted him: "I remember that they don't live too far away. When the winter is not busy, it's good to go for a walk more."

Father Chen nodded, and Chen Chen saw that he was a little tired and hurriedly said: "Dad, why don't you sleep for a while, the doctor said that you can eat after 24 hours, I'll give you hot milk to drink in the evening, or some millet Porridge?"

Father Chen waved his hand: "I'm not proud of milk, and millet porridge is fine. Now I want to drink some rice soup. A thick layer of rice soup is left on top of the thick rice porridge. It tastes delicious just thinking about it."

Chen Min laughed beside him: "Dad, you are hungry now, you can eat everything you want"

Father Chen Yile: "I haven't eaten all day. My stomach is empty. Of course I'm hungry. Otherwise, I'll be alone later, and you all go. Bring me some food later. You don't have to stay here at night." up"

Chen's mother said from the side: "We have agreed, let Xiaochen stay here to guard you later, and Xiaomin and I will replace him during the day tomorrow."

Father Chen looked at Chen Chen and Chu Zhenzhou, and nodded.

A few people were talking, and someone came to visit him. He seemed to be about the same age as Chen's father, but Chen's father called him Uncle Zhang. Zhenzhou asked: "Old Chen, who is this, why haven't I seen it before?"

Father Chen replied: "This is Chen Chen's friend. He heard that something happened to me, so he came to see me."

"Oh, let me tell you, who looks like a talented person, where does he come from?"

Just as Chu Zhenzhou was about to answer, Chen's father hurriedly said, "It's from City H, but Uncle Zhang, how did you get here?"

"I came with Huzi. He said he was going to buy pesticides and would have dinner here at night. I might as well drive with him to see you and drive back with him later."

"That's just right, you stay with me and ask their mothers to go back and cook for me. I haven't eaten all day, and I'm starving to death."

"All right, I have to stay for a while, nephew and daughter-in-law, you can take the child back, just come later, I'm fine anyway, I'm here to chat with my nephew"

Father Chen laughed beside him and said, "Lao Zhang, you're never finished, right? I'll show you some face in front of the child, just wait a while."

Chen's mother smiled and said: "Who told you that you are young, then let's go back first, I will make a meal for Chen Zi and the others to send over quickly."

Mother Chen took the brothers and sisters and Chu Zhenzhou out, and Chu Zhenzhou said: "Aunt Chen, my car is still parked there, let's drive back directly."

Chen's mother was taken aback: "Oh, you drove here, that's good."

This time Chu Zhenzhou didn't drive the Land Rover he used to drive, but another car, not so ostentatious, but also expensive.Chen Chen looked at it and curled his lips. The wicked rich man, after another thought, did this count as joint property in marriage? He shook his head, and quickly stopped these nonsensical thoughts.

The journey home is not far away. In July, the rice fields on the roadside are lush green, and the trees on the mountain are also very dense. Chen Chen sat in the co-pilot, looked at the trees on the roadside, and when he reached a corner, he suddenly smiled. He laughed and said, "Mom, do you remember, when I was in junior high school, I used to ride my bicycle home every weekend. Every time I came here, I felt scared. Look in front of you, there is a cemetery." He said while Point with your finger.

Chen's mother said from behind: "You little coward, what are you afraid of, really?"

Chen Chen stopped talking in embarrassment. In those years, he was really scared. Every time he came here, he felt surrounded by those trees. The wind blowing from the cemetery carried a terrifying atmosphere. It's creepy, but my mother has always been bold. He occasionally mentioned it, and my mother laughed it off. She always does this and thinks it's nothing.

Suddenly he felt a big hand gently pat on his knee, looked up and saw Chu Zhenzhou smiling at him comfortingly, he smiled back, this person always noticed the sense of loss that he almost ignored.

If he wasn't driving, Chu Zhenzhou really wanted to give Chen Chen a hug. During those three years of junior high school, would he have to bear that feeling of fear once a week during the trip?How distressing that should be.

Under Chen Chen's guidance, the car arrived home very quickly. As soon as the car stopped, several people gathered around, all neighbors, who kept asking about Father Chen's situation. Mother Chen stood in the yard chatting with everyone. After chatting, Chen Chen brothers and sisters greeted everyone and went back to the house. Chen Chen took Chu Zhenzhou back to his room and said, "You are tired, why don't you lie down and rest, I'll cook the porridge."

"No, but I didn't bring clothes, you can find a set and I'll take a shower, but it's okay to wait, let your sister wash first"

Chen Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll let her wash it quickly, the bathroom is in the yard, I'll go find clothes for you first, I'm sure you won't be able to wear mine, my dad's clothes are all big, he likes to be roomy clothes, I'll look for them, there must be new ones, it's just that..."

Chu Zhenzhou raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Which one?"

Chen Chen gritted his teeth: "I have new ones for that underwear, but it may be a little small."

Chu Zhenzhou smiled: "Let's make do, if it doesn't work, I'll buy a few in the town later, and replace them when the time comes."

Chen Chen's ears were red, and while running outside, he said, "Okay, I'll go find you clothes first."

Chu Zhenzhou guessed right, Chen Min had already gone to take a bath, and little girls like to be clean.Chen Chen found clothes for Chu Zhenzhou, told him to rest, and hurried to wash the rice and cook porridge.

Chu Zhenzhou looked at Chen Chen's room. The winter in the north is very cold. In order to keep warm, the houses are generally not big. Chen Chen's house is also the same, but the house is very clean and the overall layout is very reasonable. Chen Chen's small room It is even more tidy and orderly. An earthen kang is about two meters wide. Above one side of the kang is a hanging cabinet with quilts and pillows.

There is a wardrobe on the floor opposite the kang, which is not too big. There is a small desk on the floor. There are many books on the desk, and several storage boxes under the desk are neatly arranged.The desk is an old-fashioned one, with a drawer at the bottom. Chu Zhenzhou subconsciously wanted to open it to have a look, but stopped his outstretched hand. When Chen Chen came in and saw this scene, he stepped forward and said, "There are some My award certificate and photo album, do you want to see it?"

Chu Zhenzhou's eyes lit up: "Yes"

Chen Chen was a little frightened, those photos had a lot of black history, but since the words were out, there was no reason to go back on his word, he sighed and said: "Okay, but you are not allowed to laugh at me"

The two of them took out the photo album and flipped through it. Chen Chen began to explain to Chu Zhenzhou, such as the performance in his elementary school when Hong Kong returned. Sprinkling water with his classmates, the distorted expressions captured, the fat and puffy figure in middle school, the gradually taller and handsomer appearance in high school, and the group photos taken during military training at the university, and the appearance of wearing a bachelor's uniform after graduation, Chu Zhenzhou couldn't put it down. Watching it very carefully, as if like this, he went back to the past, step by step, watching the boy's growth.
