The return journey is always too fast—this is a feeling, but it’s actually not fast. Because of the uncertain factor of Anxi, the journey is much slower than when we came.

We spent the Spring Festival of 42 years in the car.That night, the convoy stopped early and found a flat place to set up camp and set up tents.Everyone got a can of meat, and although it was cold and tasted bad, it was the best thing that could be had.

The little soldiers sang around the bonfire, drank porridge and ate canned food. Zheng Xueshi was a young man who liked to be lively, and it was Chinese New Year, so they quickly sang together.Zou Shengzu sat under a dead tree not far away, looking up at the moon, wondering what he was thinking.

Liu Guoqing didn't go to have fun with the people, but got into the car with An Xi in his arms.

The old man hadn't smelled meat for a long time, and one can of food was not enough to stuff my teeth, so Liu Guoqing sneakily honored me with the two private cans, and only drank a few bowls of hot porridge.

Anxi has two teeth, so she is eager to try everything.I fed him a few mouthfuls of canned meat, and this kid sipped it, he couldn't bite it at all, and he was about to spit it out on the ground when he opened his mouth, but my son caught it quickly, and my son didn't dislike it, so he picked it up and ate it.

Liu Guoqing said: "You don't think it's disgusting, just throw it away."

I shook my head and said: "You have never been hungry, you are really hungry, the steamed buns are rolled into the mud, and you can still eat them when you pick them up."

"Take it easy, too, it's been a long time since you've seen the smell of oil, you eat so much all at once, it's still cold, be careful of your stomach hurting," he said, passing the bowl of porridge forward, "Drink something warm. "

I took a sip from his hand and said with regret: "If this is two cups of small wine, it will taste..."

"Still thinking about drinking? With your lungs, don't even think about it in this life."

"Hey, that would be one less fun."

"It's better to be sober if you're drunk all day long."

"You think so?" He raised his eyelids and said, "I really feel drunk and at ease."

Anxi stretched out her little hand, patted my arm, and wanted to hug me.

"Are you sleepy?" I looked at An Xi's eyes, the eyelids were drooping a little bit, "I sleep when I'm sleepy, and I have to be hugged."

Liu Guoqing looked at An Xi's drowsy appearance, swipe his finger on his fair and tender face, and said in a low voice, "We will be able to enter Fengtian City tomorrow."

The arm holding Anxi was tight, but the kid didn't react much, but he fell asleep after a while, like a little pig.

Suddenly a hand was placed on the shoulder, and once again regained consciousness, the whole body slammed into Liu Guoqing's chest.He buried his head in the crook of my neck, buried deeply, and his voice was humming and muffled: "You only taught Anxi to call him Dad, why don't you teach him to call him Dad?"

"He'll call sooner or later."

"You said that I will teach him now until tomorrow, can he learn it?"

I fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

We hugged each other all night, and when the sun came up, no one let go.

This is the only Spring Festival that our family of three spends together.

...................................................

The Fengtian City Gate was close at hand, Liu Guoqing showed the police order, and several cars of people entered the city without any effort.Liu Guoqing asked the other cars to go back to the police station first, while he "sent Boss Zou home first".

After a year, the streets of Fengtian City are much deserted, pedestrians look numb and walk in a hurry, without any joy of Chinese New Year.Although we didn't run into a cordon along the way, the hazy sky was still like a sealed pot lid, pressing on Fengtian—and even the entire Northeast land, revealing depression and uneasiness.

I have been to Zou Shengzu's home once, and it is a place hidden away from the city.A one-story house, the house is not big, it has been vacant for a year, no one has cleaned it, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.

Zou Shengzu opened the window for ventilation, the window was frozen hard, the ice skates hanging upside down from the window eaves, after a moment's attention, he saw it as a sharp sword hanging from the top of his head, and he shuddered.

I suggested: "Why don't you live in another place."

A dignified big boss, who is not cunning, I don't believe that he only has such a real estate.

"Let's talk." He waved his hand and boiled water for tea.

I have not forgotten the business, covered by the curling white mist of boiling water, it seems that everything has become unreal, as if I am having an absurd dream, maybe I will wake up in the next moment, and any words can be easily expressed in the mouth.

I hugged Anxi, and his clear eyes looked around curiously.He could see the tables and chairs in the room, as well as the plants and trees outside the house, but he couldn't see the hazy sky.

He is so unworldly and carefree.

That's what I was looking for too.

"At the beginning, I said, this child will be raised by you, and you can't refuse."

Zou Shengzu said: "...It would be nice if I was a girl, but why is she born a boy?"

"It's even better, kid. I'll take your surname and pass on your family."

He chuckled: "Are you willing? Then it has nothing to do with you." He looked at Liu Guoqing again, "It has nothing to do with you either."

Liu Guoqing's lips twitched a few times, and he simply turned his face away.

I said: "Of course I am reluctant, but the time is not right, but if I have half the courage and skill of my Ama, I will not end up seeking refuge from you...Do you still want me to kneel down and beg you?"

"Yige, this is the last chance." Zou Shengzu's eyes were red with suffocation, and he stared at me, "I have the ability to arrange for you and Anxi to leave China, and there is a sum of money that is enough for the two of you to live comfortably. The bow does not turn back, if you miss this time, there will really be no next time..." He sobbed softly, "Yi Ge, I beg you, promise me..."

An Xi stretched out his hand towards Zou Shengzu, babbling and laughing happily: "Golden Douer, drop Jindouer!"

I knelt down in Anxi's laughter.

Liu Guoqing was startled and wanted to hold me back, but in the end, he knelt down with me in front of Zou Shengzu.

I raised my head and said, "Elder brother is like a father. I won't lose out if I kneel down. My life is not worth much compared to the family precepts and dignity of my old Yi family. One day when I get to the bottom, I can be with my ancestors." Zong confessed. It’s just that I also have selfish intentions, that is, Anxi, you are the only person I can trust, and I can rest assured that I entrust Anxi to you.”

Zou Shengzu leaned forward and raised his hand. He thought he was going to slap me big, but he didn't do it for a long time. Instead, he stroked my temples and cheeks inch by inch.

As soon as his sideburns hurt, a white hair appeared between Zou Shengzu's fingers.

He murmured, "When did you get old?"

I licked my lips and said in a low voice, "Then don't let An Xi grow old."

Zou Shengzu came back to his senses, took Anxi away from my arms, and asked, "Is he famous?"

"……not yet."

"Let him stick to you, single name, okay?"

Suddenly I thought of the solitary "boat" in my name.

"……it is good."

Time is precious, there is no free time to argue, and Liu Guoqing has to go back to the police station to deal with business.We stood up and were about to say goodbye when Liu Guoqing took something out of the inner lining.

When I took a closer look, it was the half of the jade pendant I gave him!

I remember that before, he just randomly threw it in the drawer, and I felt sad for a while, but at some point, he carried it close to his body.

He walked over and bent down. The jade pendant itself had a hole, and a red string was tied on it.Liu Guoqing took it for Anxi, kissed Anxi again, and said, "Take this for him."

An Xi stopped smiling a long time ago, her eyes were wide open, and her jet-black pupils occupied half of her eye sockets, which made her feel distressed.

He seemed to have a premonition, instead of playing with the jade pendant that was new to him, he opened his small arms towards me and shouted: "Daddy hug, daddy hug!"

I took a few steps back, turned and left.

Liu Guoqing followed me neatly.

It's just that Anxi's crying that erupted afterwards was muddy, lingering in my ears, endless, and became a nightmare of my life.

The author has something to say: Well...don't cry, only then Anxi will be happy~
