life after death

There was an eerie silence at the dinner table for a few seconds.

His aunt covered her mouth and laughed twice, "What Xiao Jun said is really humorous."

Both Yang Hong and Su Wen glared at him.It was only then that Su Junping realized that something was wrong. He pondered for a while and couldn't figure out why he had made a mistake.

Adhering to the principle of saying less and making less mistakes, he said: "I'll go to the sofa to watch TV." His dad fully expressed the quick roll with his eyes.

Su Junping was sitting on the sofa, watching the little boy holding his mobile phone and watching cartoons, he tuned the channel, and finally found one that was playing "Bear Infested": "Hey, it's also playing on TV, return the phone I."

The cousin caught sight of two silly bears out of the corner of his eye, and gave Su Junping a disdainful look: "I don't watch this kind of stupid cartoons, they are for children, I watch anime!"

Su Junping: "..."

The so-called animation refers to the general term of animation and comics.If it is a flashing video on a mobile phone, it is also an animation.

Su Junping changed a few channels, which were all news broadcasts. He watched the people of other countries living in the heat of the water for a while, and found it very boring. He moved closer and carefully looked at the animation watched by his cousin. Screen.

Su Junping was taken aback: "What are you looking at?"

The noble and glamorous animation party let out a sound from one nostril, and after a few seconds, he said slowly: "I don't understand if I tell you, this is very popular now."

Su Junping: "...It's not a question of whether it's hot or not, this is too bloody and not suitable for children to watch."

A child hates being called a child the most. Cousin Xiong glared immediately when he heard it. If it wasn't for the leaked panting from the phone, he might have kept staring.

"What a child! I'm not a child! You're a brat like Xi Yangyang!" After he finished speaking, he gave him a look full of contempt, and Su Junping read from it, "Aren't you also a child?" Underage? Pretend what to pretend" means.

He clenched his fists, and the sound of his thumbs clicking reminded him to restrain his anger.

Well, brat, Su Junping thought, anyway, they will leave after Su Wen finishes eating.

It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. Not long after Su Wen finished eating, some relatives came to his grandmother's house. They had a good chat with Su Wen and had no plans to go back for a while.

He grabbed some oranges and ate them. Looking at the audience, there was only one young boy, with a chubby face and a very pleasant face. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle.That seems to be his cousin who went to the United States for gold plating, and then went to the Japanese stock exchange.

Chen Yilin's face flashed in front of his eyes, with delicate features and delicate features, but his eyes were always somewhat gentle. He looked at that very kind cousin, and thought to himself, is it true that all top students are like this?Could it be that reading is stupid?

My cousin chatted for a while in the living room, and came over to watch TV together with a snack bowl.

Su Junping grabbed a piece of lemon candy to eat, and then heard him ask about his studies.

"What grade are you in now?"

"Sophomore year."

"Second year in high school, it's great. High school life is so good. I always want to go back to school and watch it again. I don't have time. Which school are you from?"

"One Middle School."

"I'm in No. [-] High School too!"

The two of them chatted for a while about gossip about teachers and students in the past, the so-and-so who could speak eleven languages, the so-and-so who was reactionary every day but was never caught, and the so-and-so who took the double job of posting small advertisements and tearing up small advertisements So-and-so, that so-and-so who spent two months reading and doing questions because of being too bored after playing a broken bone from a junior college...

Su Junping listened to the strange man's story with a look of shock on his face, and sighed: "It's amazing, my mother said that your grades were very good back then, and you were in the experimental class."

His cousin adjusted his glasses a little awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Actually, I bought it. My points are not enough for the experimental class."

Su Junping: "...Don't talk about such things, the myth has been shattered."

His cousin said a few more words, and was called away by his cousin. Su Junping went to see him off at the door, and heard from the adults that he was going to catch a plane back to Japan.

The biggest young junior left was Su Junping. They praised him for a while against his will, but they couldn't say anything, so they let him watch TV soon.When Su Junping approached the sofa, he found his cousin squatting on the ground.

Su Jun's heart tightened, and he pushed the little kid away. It was indeed his mobile phone with a broken screen, and a piece of chewing gum was still stuck on it lying on the floor.

That is his new mobile phone!Not even half a month!Half a month!

Su Junping rolled up his sleeves, and the joints of his hands clasped together.Sweat broke out from the blunt anger of this big winter, he gritted his teeth and said to the brat: "Do you still remember when you broke three of my handicrafts?! I told you Be careful! Small, careful, careful, careful! Believe it or not, I will beat you!"

As soon as the words finished, the little chubby rushed out like a whirlwind, hugged Yang Zhonghong's thigh, and said tearfully, "Brother wants to hit me!"

Su Junping didn't expect this villain to file a complaint so quickly, and his anger almost choked him to death. He drank two big sips of water, walked over with his trousers pocket and said, "My phone broke, I just bought it. It's been less than half a month."

Before Yang Zhonghong could speak, Su Wen immediately stood up and scolded him: "What's wrong with a mobile phone? Your brother is small, you should let him play with it. What if it breaks? The child didn't do it on purpose. Could it be that your brother Isn't it better than a mobile phone?"

Su Junping lowered his head, plucked the bangs in front of his eyes, and thought expressionlessly: I'll fuck your uncle.

His aunt called the brat aside and criticized him severely, but never mentioned the matter of compensation.His uncle was even more surprised, and shyly said: "Oh, these are small things. The only child of your generation is not like us. There were so many people at that time. Unfortunately, you didn't have any playmates. Your cousin is your own brother. Quick Tongtong, apologize to your brother!"

The bear kid sniffed and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Su Junping put his hands down and put them back into his pockets, thinking that if you asked me to punch you, I might think about it.

However, in front of the elders, he only dared to be angry and dare not speak out. He didn't say anything, and let them understand, and sat back on the sofa.

He watched "Society and Law" aggressively for a while, feeling so boring that it could be called torture, and was about to take out his cell phone to complain to Wang Wenjie, when he remembered that his cell phone was lying on the floor with disgusting things stuck to it.

A group of smelly men were playing cards and smoking there, Su Junping couldn't stand it and closed the door, and saw his grandfather squeeze in through the crack of the door, holding a rag in his hand.

"It's okay, I'll do it," Su Junping hurriedly stopped the grandfather who squatted down to clean up his phone, "Your legs are bad, sit on the side, I can take care of it."

Sitting on the sofa, his grandfather lamented that the more fashionable things are, the less reliable they are: "My PHS, it's okay to fall twice."

"That's different, you are Nokia, so strong that it can be used as a brick."

Grandpa quickly shook his head and said he didn't understand, he switched the channel to a program analyzing Sino-Japanese relations, listened to the narrator's flickering for a while, scolded Little Japan for a while, and talked about the recent rise in prices Great, I can't live through the years.

The old man put down the remote control panel and said mysteriously: "Xiaojun, your mobile phone—if you are really angry, grandpa will buy you a new one. Don't lose your temper with Tongtong, he is still young."

Su Junping hurriedly said how could it be, I was more skinny than him when I was young.

His grandfather clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Our little Jun is promising, has a good conscience, and will be reliable in the future, reliable."

He didn't know how reliable he was, felt ashamed and quickly peeled the oranges for the old man to eat.

Their grandparents didn't watch TV on the sofa for a long time before their parents got up and said goodbye. Su Junping was putting on his shoes, and Su Wen and Yang Hong had already gone to drive first.

He walked to the side of the car and heard faint voices. After he came, he stopped for a while, and saw Yang Hong leaning against the window of the co-pilot, frowning and saying in a tired voice: "Go back and reinstall the screen for Xiaojun." Bar."

Su Wen was reversing the car: "Just buy a new one, it's not short of this money."

There was another silence. Everyone seemed to have no energy today. Maybe it was the end of the new year, and the whole person was as soft as a freshly made rice cake. Su Junping sat in the back row with his head resting on a cushion in a daze.

Yang Hong suddenly said: "Just now what Zhong Hong told you about the bureau... What is it?"

Su Wen glanced at his wife, and Su Junping saw the corner of his mouth in the rearview mirror, and the sarcasm was about to pour out.But for some reason, he pursed his lips again, and turned his head back: "It's nothing, it's just that there is a re-examination at the end of the year, and it's the certificate in his hand. He discussed with me what to do."

"What should I do?"

"You don't have to worry about small things."

Yang Hong hummed, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.It was completely dark at five o'clock in winter, and now it is as thick as ink that cannot be melted. There is dim light under the street lamp, but it looks darker when it is separated from the light.

Su Wen supported the steering wheel with one hand, took out a cigarette with the other hand, lit it, took two deep breaths, and there was a small orange flower twinkling between his fingers, which was the only light in the car out of the light. But it is so weak that it seems to be extinguished by a gust of wind.

Yang Hong opened the window a little to diffuse the smell of smoke.

"A few days ago, my parents borrowed [-] yuan from the family, saying that Zhong Hong wanted to buy a car. Zhong Hong is now a civil servant, and it is not good to call a taxi when he goes out to socialize. In the past few years, private use of public cars has been strictly checked. The amount was not much, so I gave it away directly, and didn't ask them to return it."

Su Wen said it's okay, just give it, it's not easy for parents to get old.It's almost Chinese New Year and you don't have to be polite if you want to buy anything, just buy it.

Yang Hong said that this year's New Year's Eve dinner can be eaten at home?I make dumplings by myself.

Su Wen didn't answer, he put out the cigarette, turned the steering wheel and turned out of the small road to a main road. For a while, grotesque neon lights and shop signs came into view, people were happy and happy, and the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere.

While waiting for a red light, Su Junping caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman passing by, wearing a pair of lace black stockings in the cold weather, he thought in his heart that beauty is the devil, it makes people crazy.

He took a last look at this colorful world, pulled off the cushion under his neck and sat up.

"I want to invite my classmates to have a meal at home tomorrow, is that okay?"
