Shimmer Forest

When the summer temple fair was about to begin, Su Jin's father, who had been away for seven years, returned to the village.

At that time, the two were playing marbles in the corridor outside the house, and Su Jingang, who was about to lose, was about to stuff the marbles into the opponent's mouth.And Uncle Wu was tapping on the roof neatly, not caring about the drizzle that was drifting.

He stepped on the sound of water, so naturally appeared in the open space in front of the courtyard, and said nonchalantly, "I'm back."

It was a young man who looked capable and fair, with short black hair that was soft and slightly curly, narrow eyes that were deep and dark, and the corners of his raised lips revealed a little frivolity.

Uncle Wu was so shocked that he even dropped the hammer on the eaves.And Su Jin just looked at the person in front of him blankly, maybe he was thinking about whether this person was a fraud, maybe his mind went blank due to shock, or maybe he just forgot to be surprised.

Seven years is enough to make people forget what a person looks like.

Until the white and warm palm covered Su Jin's hair and gently caressed it.Su Jincai recalled that when he was very young, whenever it rained, his father would hold him and sit in the porch, telling stories and stroking his head.The warmth and breath brought by the warm and generous palm is particularly reassuring.

It was his father's own magic.

The indifference in his eyes gradually dissipated, he closed his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously: "Welcome back."

There is no scene of crying and weeping when father and son reunite after a long absence in Wu Hao's imagination.Both of them seem so ordinary, as if such scenes, such conversations, happen every day; as if they have never left each other.

The smile on the man's face deepened, and he ruffled his hair vigorously: "You have grown up."

"Of course, when you were looking for flowers and willows, I was working hard to grow up." Pushing away his hand, Su Jin had lost interest in him, and started playing with the marbles in his hand

"Tch, it's not cute." His palm stopped in the air awkwardly, and he complained dissatisfiedly, then withdrew his hand and scratched his hair.

"Su Jingran ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Uncle Wu jumped down from the room roaring excitedly and hugged him directly into his arms: "You are back ah ah!"

"Wow, old Wu, you still smell so bad, hahahaha!" Although he was not forgiving, he still happily patted and hugged the crying man.

"Ah, that's right." He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, stopped clapping his hands, and shouted behind him: "I brought you a friend. Xiao Yu, come out."

After a long silence, a little girl slowly poked her head out from behind him.

It looks like a 7- or 8-year-old girl, with mushroom hair combed, light eyebrows, a round face with a bit of baby fat, and pink cheeks that look extra cute.

"Big, hello everyone..." The girl grabbed Su Jingran's clothes tightly and greeted everyone nervously.

Uncle Wu jumped away from him all of a sudden, his originally happy smile turned into contempt in an instant: "Su Jingran, you...have you finally shot even a child?"

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of my lovely son?" He smiled and greeted him with a punch, and regardless of the other party rolling on the ground covering his face in pain, he introduced himself to Su Jin: "This is my son in the city." Student, the one who tricked me into being your child bride..."

Before the words were finished, Wu Hao who was at the side threw a slasher viciously, and the surrounding area was filled with black murderous aura.

And the girl who was trembling behind him just now calmly took out her mobile phone and pressed the three numbers 11.

"Wow, stop! I lied to you!" Su Jingran hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the phone, and wiped the cold sweat from his brow nervously: "The brat now is really too dangerous."

"Stupid dad." Su Jin stuck out her tongue at him, smiling wickedly.

"Stinky boy, don't look down on adults." Veins had popped out on his forehead, Su Jingran smiled harmlessly and pulled his face forcefully.

"That, that..." The girl regained her flustered and bewildered look, and gently tugged at the corner of Su Jingran's clothes.

"Cough, let me introduce you." With an awkward cough, Su Jingran finally remembered her existence, and began to introduce each other: "Her name is Jiang Xiaoyu, and she will stay at our house temporarily during the summer vacation."

"Hey, that curly black man over there with a paralyzed face is my son Su Jin, the silly little black next to him is Wu Hao, and the vicious big black lying on the ground is Xiao Hei's father, you can just call him Uncle Wu .”

"Big, hello everyone." Probably being overwhelmed by the instantly blackened faces of the other three, Xiao Yu shrank her face behind him again.

"Hey, what a cute kid, isn't it hard to have such an unruly teacher?" The nervous look of this kid made people feel sorry for him. Uncle Wu temporarily forgot the unhappiness just now, bent down and looked at him with a smile.

"No, no, the teacher is very good at drawing, and also...helped me a lot." Perhaps because she is not used to approaching strangers, Xiao Yu's entire face turned red.

"That's right, I'm a conscientious and good teacher, don't discredit me!" He dug his ears as if nothing had happened, he took Xiao Yu out from behind him, put it in front of Su Jin, and said brightly: "Okay Alright, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin should shake hands and get to know each other well."

"Why do you have to shake hands, and—" Looking at the girl who was about to hide behind him, Su Jin sighed helplessly, "That guy obviously hates me, right?"

"What, Xiao Jin, you really don't understand the girl's heart." Su Jingran waved his hand, covered his mouth and smiled like a beating: "Xiao Yu, do you hate Xiao Jin?"

Jiang Xiaoyu blushed and shook her head so fast that Su Jin could even feel the slightly warm wind from her vigorously shaking her head.

"Okay, okay, I know! The head is about to fall, and it will really fall if you shake it any further!" In order to prevent the guy from fainting due to excessive shaking of his head, Su Jin hurriedly stopped her.Seeing that the other party was already dizzy and out of breath, he sighed softly, and stretched out his hand: "I'm sorry, my father is a strange guy. In the future, please give me your advice."

Xiao Yu looked at the hand he extended in panic, and shook it as if she had made up her mind after a long time.With a flushed face, he nodded vigorously.

"Hey! Don't, don't, don't, see, I, de, exist, exist, ah." Wu Hao, who had been left alone for a long time, suddenly stood between the two, gritting his teeth with a dark face.

"Oh, the atmosphere is just right, brat, don't make trouble." Su Jingran patted him on the shoulder, stared at him for a while, and then frowned: "This face is really like your father's, the more you look at it, the more you look at it. It makes people angry."

"You're the one who makes people angry, the fishy-eyed and flirtatious man." Wu Hao pressed his face against him, pushing back unwilling to be outdone.

"Okay, okay, I'm a frail scholar, I can't beat you." Shocked by his momentum, Su Jingran quickly raised his hands to show his weakness, "Let's live in harmony."

In this way, Jiang Xiaoyu moved into Su Jin's house under his half-bait, and since then, Wu Hao couldn't sleep because of worry every night.

The previous couples turned into a threesome, Wu Hao was unwilling to do so, but he couldn't keep bullying girls, so he had to endure it.

Xiaoyu doesn't talk much, always plays with her phone with her head down, and blush when she is picked up.Overall a sweet kid who wouldn't be annoying - if only she wasn't always following Su Jin.

"You're always playing with your phone." Just as Wu Hao was gnashing his teeth behind the two of them, Su Jin, who hadn't noticed it, went over to look at Xiao Yu's screen: "Is that thing so fun?"

"No, it's not..." Being approached like this, Xiao Yu's face turned red again.

"So you don't like playing with the two of us?" He frowned slightly as he looked at the phone displaying the desktop and time: "By the way, this thing doesn't have a signal here at all, right?"

"Huh? Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu seemed to have come to his senses suddenly, shaking his phone in a frenzy, and after confirming that it really had no signal, he said in a panic: "It seems, it seems to be true!"

"Pfft... haven't you noticed it? By the way, what are you playing?"

"No, because, because, if you don't lower your head and stare at your phone, you will feel that the crowd is scary."

Xiao Yu lowered her head, her long bangs covered her eyes, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly: "Even if you are eating with friends or going out to play, you can't find a topic or a time to chat... At this time, as long as you play with your mobile phone, you won't feel embarrassed, and you won't feel sad..."

"What, you're just running away." Even Wu Hao couldn't help feeling pity seeing her like this.It's just that he has never been good at comforting people, and he has deep grievances, so his words are more straightforward: "What's so scary about the crowd, you are too self-centered, who will pay special attention to you? Chatting needs time Is it? It’s just that you don’t talk all the time, so everyone thinks you don’t like talking? In the end, it’s not because you are too timid.”

Xiao Yu clenched her fist slightly, and lowered her head even lower.

"Hey, don't always keep your head down, look up." Su Jin glared at the person who didn't know how to be sympathetic, gently brushed away Xiao Yu's bangs, pointed at the vast sky, and said with a smile: "How about it? It's different from the city."

The light blue sky is clear and transparent, and the white clouds are like a veil, wiping away from the thick clouds to outline a beautiful shape.The sun shines among the clouds, and against the light, Su Jin's smiling face is extraordinarily warm and soft, making people addicted.

The world under the drifting sea gradually became clear.There is a flat dirt road under your feet, and on both sides of the road, the lush green grass is rolling with the wind; the trees are thick and tall, as if they can go straight into the sky; the green leaves are vigorous and vigorous, showing a faint scenery under the sunshine.Next to the green grass is a clear river, the river is flowing, cool and clean.Even just looking at the view can be calming.

"Well, yes." She put away her flustered and confused look for the first time, and smiled warmly: "It's completely different."

Perhaps her smile was so gentle and pure that Wu Hao's dissatisfaction slowly dissipated.The two took her to catch crickets, fight water fights, catch butterflies, and play hide-and-seek. The cramped girl gradually became cheerful.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the three came back hand in hand, and the atmosphere seemed unusually harmonious.

"Hey, it's not good, why did it become a threesome, that's obviously my daughter-in-law." Su Jingran squatted on the roof, muttering dissatisfiedly with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Compared to that, please don't disturb my work, please?" Resisting the urge to throw the hammer on his head, Uncle Wu complained impatiently.

"I can't help it, who made my precious son hate the smell of cigarettes." He took a puff of cigarettes, and deliberately vomited in Uncle Wu's direction, with an innocent face on his face.

"I hate it too, okay? I hate it! You've been smoking since morning, and I'm almost choking to death!" Uncle Wu stood up and roared, "You should think about me anyway." What a feeling, it makes me dizzy!"

"What, who cares so much about you. It's obviously only Dahei who doesn't need so many things, okay? Dahei only needs to bark or clang..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Wu had already grabbed his collar, hung him on the eaves, and raised a hammer in one hand, with veins all over his head: "Crush your head or your whole body, choose one."
