The weather is warm and the snow cannot accumulate.Under the golden-red haze, the branches of the willow trees in the community dripped with water.When the two passed by, several young boys found a large pile of white snow in the shade of the flower bed, and they screamed in surprise one after another.Si Ji looked at them with pity, and said that I was really ignorant, the snow was much more snowy when I was a child than it is now.

His face was flushed, and he was more excited than when he entered the house with the test paper for the first time in primary school with a double score.Carrying a lot of things up to the sixth floor, the anti-theft door was ajar, and the smell of food filled my face.Without a hand, Si Ji pushed the door open with his foot, and then used his chin to signal Zuo Yan to go first.

Zuo Yan started to adjust his expression when he went upstairs, Si Ji wanted to laugh at him, but he was afraid that he would really get nervous.The dignified and handsome Director Zuo rubbed his clean leather shoes on the welcome blanket outside the door again, then entered the door, and then turned to Si Ji, "Do you want to change your shoes?"

The floor tiles in front of me were much cleaner than last time, so bright that the pimples on my face could be seen.Si Ji looked apprehensively: "God, you are treated like a VIP... I don't know if I want to change it..." Zuo Yan smiled, and was about to knock on the door, but Si Ji called out before him: "Dad, Mom, here we come!"

In the kitchen, Lao Si and his wife came out after hearing the sound, and kept saying come in quickly.Si's mother's whole body, including the apron, was newly bought, and Lao Si's hair was also specially taken care of, which accurately covered the sparse hair on the scalp.Si Ji pulled Zuo Yan, saying that my dad needs no introduction, this beautiful aunt is my mother!

Zuo Yan shook hands with the two elders, and put the gift in his hand on the coffee table.Si's mother's fiery eyes never left him, Zuo Yan graciously let her look at him, while Si Ji took her arm, very proudly: "How about it, is it more handsome than in the photo?" Zuo Yan drank tea and ate melon seeds; the tea table was filled with snacks, which were richer than Chinese New Year.Most of the dishes on the table have already been stacked, and they are all covered with tureen to keep warm.Si's mother dragged Si Ji into the kitchen, told him the names of the dishes with a speed faster than talking about cross talk, and then asked, "Is it all right, is it Xiao Zuo's favorite food?"

Si Ji looked at the sweat on her face and said, Mom, your make-up is all over the place.Her face immediately changed, and she confessed that she looked at the fire and ran into the bedroom.Si Ji showed his head from the kitchen and said, Lao Zuo, you come down.Zuo Yan understood, and when he came in, he saw that there was still an uncooked tripe on the stove, so he rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

When Si's mother came back, she really put on her makeup, saw that Zuo Yan was helping to carry the bowls and chopsticks, but Si Ji stood there with his hands clasped, she was furious.She asked Xiao Zuo to go out to rest, go out to talk to Lao Si, and secretly reached behind Si Ji's back and plucked his hair.Si Ji was in so much pain that tears were about to come out, he yelled that you were actually happy and beautiful in your heart, it was too duplicity!Mother Si gently walked to the door and educated him, saying that if you are ignorant, it will appear that we are not good at hospitality, do you understand?Si Ji comforted her: "Don't be nervous, remember the criteria you told me about choosing a son-in-law, he fits all of them, really."

"I see," Si's mother suddenly smiled, "The stir-fried dishes are quite decent. Also, who said I was nervous, your dad brushed my teeth in the morning and squeezed my facial cleanser as toothpaste, you know?" Si Ji Holding the dishes and bowls in both hands, his hands were shaking from laughing. After he went out, he specially went to the boss to smell it, and said, Dad, your mouth smells so good today.Lao Si was holding the photocopy of the Warring States Bamboo Slips that Zuo Yan bought for him to preach and teach. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly took a big gulp of Tieguanyin.

During the meal, Lao Si drank half a glass of red wine with Zuo Yan before everyone officially started.Lao Si looked very happy, his smile was so wrinkled; Si's mother was busy using her serving chopsticks to persuade her to eat and drink.Sincere enthusiasm can be contagious, Zuo Yan drank a lot, and he completely let go of his awkward expression and smiled happily.Halfway through the meal, Si Ji couldn't hold back, and scratched his thigh with a dog's paw under the table while eating, Zuo Yan was unmoved, but changed the subject; he was still talking about early childhood education with Lao Si, but now he said: "Uncle , what was Si Ji like when he was young, wasn't he very skinny?"

"Naughty!" Lao Si also drank a lot, and he was a little smug, "When he was in his mother's womb, he loved to roll around. His mother couldn't sleep well every night. He became fat during pregnancy, but she lost several times."

Si Ji leaned into Zuo Yan's ear and said, "Here we come, revolutionary family history."

"Xiao Si is the youngest of the children in the family, and he looks like a little girl. He was always bullied when he went to his grandfather's house to play. Later, when he was in the top class of kindergarten, he was secretly taken to Going to the riverside, we played a round of mahjong and found that they had lost their way, and they were almost dying of panic."

"Little girl." Zuo Yan squeezed Si Ji's hand and whispered.Si Ji gritted his teeth to himself.

"It turned out that he was fine, but his brother came back crying and followed him," Lao Si laughed loudly, "There was a fight between two children by the river, and Xiao Si grabbed sand and stuffed his brother's eyes, and threw his shoes into the river .”

"Relief is relief," Si Ji winked at Si's mother, "It was afterward that my mother spent half a month's wages to buy my brother a pair of new shoes and a big gift bag. I cried and wanted to eat, but I Dad beat me."

Zuo Yan stood up and poured wine for the boss, saying, "Good beating."

Lao Si patted Zuo Yan on the shoulder in sympathy: "I beat him because he always sneaked to the riverside, and ran away when he couldn't see it. It was too dangerous. Parents really don't want him to be very promising. , the most important thing is to be healthy and happy. These two things seem simple, but they are actually the most difficult to do.”

Si's mother glanced at him sideways, and said that the class was about to start again, but there was no rebuttal in her tone.Si Ji knew that the point was coming, took Zuo Yan's hand, sat upright and wanted to continue listening to the class, but the old Si just stopped and said no more.After eating and drinking well, the two juniors helped to clean up the mess, and the boss brought the wine again and said that he wanted to ask Zuo Yan to sit on the balcony.Si Ji went to take a shower, it looked like he was going to stay at home today.

When he came out of the wash, he glanced curiously at the balcony, and could vaguely hear the two talking and clinking glasses.When Si's mother saw him, she turned her eyes unnaturally, and hurriedly stuffed the pajamas for him and went to watch TV.Si Ji, who was wearing long johns and long johns, couldn't find what was wrong for a moment, and ran to the toilet to wipe off the moisture on the glass, and saw: there was a deep hickey on the collarbone.

A little awkward, he didn't have the nerve to grab the sofa with his mother, so he walked into the boss' bedroom along the corner and rubbed himself on the balcony.At night, the sky is fine, there are stars, and a few wisps of smoke can be smelled through the screen window.Standing at the corner of the old Si's bed, he deliberately wanted to remind him, but he heard Zuo Yan's voice with a smile: "...then why did you name him Si Ji?"

Mentioning this old Si sighed: "Yuan Si Ji Cong, this idiom is very suitable, it means to think deeply and calmly. 'Ji' may not be a good word in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is easy to associate with loneliness. But He Si The surname fits perfectly."

"really."

"Hahaha, do you believe it too?" Lao Si's voice suddenly became like an old urchin, and Si Ji pricked up his ears in surprise, "Actually, the upstairs was being renovated at that time, and it was very noisy, and Xiao Si was still crying, your aunt I also nag every day. I always suffer from headaches, just thinking how nice this world is to be quiet..."

Zuo Yan burst out laughing.Si Ji felt sore in his heart: Why do you cook chicken soup for me every day, so you can joke with Lao Zuo?So he squeezed his throat, imitated Si's mother's tone and shouted three words abruptly: "Si Weiguo!"
