[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

Before the first day of the Chinese New Year, I hardly ever go out. Except for practicing, I eat and sleep. Maybe because I have a big heart and a fat body. I gained five pounds in just a few days. I finally got some flesh on my cheeks. I no longer wear a mask when I go in and out.

Yan Changnian officially had a holiday on the 28th. After sleeping at home for a day, he finally made up for sleep. The last month of the year has only 29 days. One person and one apron were busy in the kitchen, and they didn't show any surprise when they saw Eleven. It should be Yan Changnian who had greeted him in advance.

Eleven was very cramped, and he still couldn't get along with them indifferently.

The phone rang before dinner. Yan Changnian sat next to the landline and answered the phone first. After hearing a few words, his expression became a little strange, and he called him dad.

Bawang Yan took the microphone, and his face changed in a moment. The smile that was brimming before disappeared completely, as if he heard the call of the devil, and sneered: "Really? Who reported the relationship in the newspaper? Now that I feel better, I want to Call me back? What am I?!"

Eleven looked at Yan Changnian inquiringly, Yan Changnian frowned, shook his head slightly, Yan Bawang suddenly raised his voice and then fell back instantly: "Hospitalized? Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems? He wouldn't have fallen to this point if he didn't worry less." !"

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was disturbed by a phone call, Yan Bawang obviously fell into a certain mood when he put down the phone, no matter what other people said, he couldn't arouse his interest.

Yan Changnian’s mother’s surname is Xu, Xu Zhen, and Xu Zhen treats Eleven and Yan Changnian no differently. If you put food for Yan Changnian at the banquet, you must also get a portion for him. It’s hard to finish a meal. At the beginning, Bawang Yan chased them away. Before going out, Xu Zhen gave a red envelope by himself. Eleven was puzzled. Yan Changnian said, "It's strange? They have been doing this since me. Dad said it's their time next, But after that call today he was very off."

Eleven also felt the same way. Yan Changnian drove a car, and the city banned fireworks and firecrackers a few years ago. Although red lanterns and neon lights can be seen everywhere, there is still no lively atmosphere of the New Year. At this time, many people are having reunion dinner at home. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, there are not many people on the street, and occasionally couples can be seen walking by hugging each other.

"Look! Meteor shower!" The girl said in a longing tone, Eleven looked up, and the sky was like fireworks bursting suddenly, and there were groups of meteors, they burned themselves with dazzling light, lighting up the night sky, and lasted for a long time Time, until he got in the car and drove for a long time, the meteor still showed no signs of disappearing.

Neither of them had that romantic feeling. Yan Changnian suddenly said: "They last for a long time. They are estimated to be quite large. If they land on the ground and have not burned out, and there are people living in the place where they land, they will destroy the house, or they may Hurt people."

"They could also be carrying alien viruses," Eleven said.

It was a cold joke, and both of them shuddered.Eleven said: "I feel like I'm a little nervous, like a bird's-eye."

Yan Changnian held the steering wheel with one hand, and patted his folded hands on his lap with the other.

"Do your best to obey the destiny."

The car was forced to make a detour on Zhongyang Avenue and North Street. It is said that the road surface had subsidence, and two cars fell into it. The police were dispatched on New Year's Eve. The news was broadcast that night. One died and four were injured. .

Yan Changnian turned off the TV, and they were lying on the same bed. Yan Changnian suddenly said: "I asked my parents when I was very young. Everyone has grandparents. Where are my grandparents? They Answered my question vaguely the first time, and didn't allow me to ask similar questions. I haven't asked since, and I guess there must be unspeakable reasons why they did. That call tonight, was 'those people 'Called, the man seemed to know me very well, he said right away, you are Feng Yi's son, right? Feng Yi is my father's name, he said he was my uncle..."

This is the first time Yan Changnian brought it up on his own initiative. Before the [-]th, he thought that his relatives were no longer alive. Now it seems very complicated. Judging by the way Yan Bawang called, the relationship with there is far from bad. It may have been a long time There was no connection, and he was still the abandoned party.

This topic is a bit heavy, and Yan Changnian is not very clear: "I used to occasionally wonder what would happen to me if they suddenly appeared one day, but I stopped having such dreams after I was ten years old. Since they don't appear, Then why should I always think about them? Now that it suddenly appeared, I didn't feel it anymore, but my father seemed to be very angry. Tell me, who is in the hospital? "

Eleven couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't answer rashly, and finally hugged him.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the secretary brought his wife and son to pay New Year's greetings. The secretary's wife is a good wife and mother. She is a little introverted and doesn't talk much. When talking to her, she always has a shy smile on her face. The son is five years old and chubby. There are a pair of obvious dimples, big eyes and long eyelashes, as if they can talk, with the boy's unique bluffing energy, as soon as they enter the door, they say loudly: "Happy Chinese New Year, two uncles! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Here are the red envelopes!"

The boys are full of curiosity, running around the house, looking at the strange plants placed in the corner of the room for a while, teasing the tortoise in the incubator for a while, and his mother is chasing after him, laughing all the time, He suddenly saw the black cat hiding in the corner of the kitchen, yelling as if it was something strange, and stretched out his hand to touch it. The black cat bared its teeth, with sharp teeth, as if a cold light flashed by. Eleven quickly picked up the black cat Take it to the guest room and lock it up.

Leaving them for lunch, the secretary took his wife and son to say goodbye. The boy played with a string of gourds that Shi Shi gave him, which were no longer than the length of his fingers. They were miniature gourds. As soon as I asked for some, my grandpa also gave some seeds. There are seeds from big gourds and small gourds. Grandpa said that the biggest ones can grow half a meter long. When they are tender, they pick and stir-fry vegetables and eat them. They are quite sweet.It's small, it can only be used for playing, and children like it.

After they left, Yan Changnian suddenly asked him: "Do you like children very much?"

Eleven casually said: "Who doesn't like such a big child? Soft and tender, talking like a baby..."

He really likes children. If there are adults and children appearing at the same time, he often likes to talk to children. He feels that talking to children is easier than talking to adults. He is always a little afraid of dealing with people, but the child is innocent and has a slight social phobia. At this time, it will be cured automatically.

Yan Changnian was a little depressed for a while, thinking that Shi Shi was different from him, not born gay.Eleven didn't know what his sexual orientation was, so he let him abduct him. Asking such words is asking for trouble, asking for anger.

At this time, Eleven seemed to be suddenly enlightened. Looking at him, he said, "I like children, but I don't have to have them myself. What do you think?"

Yan Changnian hugged him and said, "Now that technology is so advanced, you can have children without getting married. I heard that a test-tube baby doesn't need to cost a lot of money."

Eleven shook his head and said, "No. I think, a child is a gift from God to couples. Test-tube babies always have the cold taste of a laboratory, and something is missing. Besides, I like children. Around, sometimes children are annoying, and it’s okay to play with them for a while, but if I take care of them all day long, I guess I don’t have that patience.”

He is self-aware.

Yan Changnian smiled and said: "That's true, Zhou Min (the name of the secretary's son) is better now that he is older, but before he was two or three years old, his parents were tortured enough, and he couldn't sleep well all night. He would wet the bed for a while, be hungry for a while, cry for no reason, sometimes insist on cuddling him to sleep, cuddling for a whole night, the adults were so tired that his upper and lower eyelids would fight, and he was still very energetic with his eyes open. Zhou Li lost weight in those two years More than ten kilograms, the dark circles under the eyes have hardly disappeared."

Eleven imagined the panda Zhou Li, and also smiled: "A five-year-old child has a lot of questions, and sometimes I don't know how to answer them."

A few years ago, Xiaomei Tao called her eldest brother, knowing that he was a little regretful that he would not go back for the New Year. She said that grandma missed him. She originally planned to go back after the Chinese New Year to reorganize her own fields and plant food crops in the spring. She planned to tell her up.

In addition to asking about the Chinese New Year, Tao Xiaomei also brought another news, Tao Yuanhang proposed to separate the family.Before his father passed away, he made a will, and the deposit they left was 1 yuan for the younger sister as a dowry, with Tao Yuanhang accounting for two-thirds and Tao Xiulei accounting for one-third.The house cannot be divided, and the rural house is not easy to sell. Just leave it like this, and the children can live in it. If you have other ideas, you can discuss it yourself.

The reason why Tao Yuanhang was given two-thirds was that Tao Yuanhang was the youngest son and had no ability, so he took the lead; while Tao Xiulei was strong and could earn money by himself, so he could pay for the building with one-third plus his own savings. down payment.As for Eleven, it was not mentioned at all.

Also, since you don't recognize this son, how can you leave property for him?

Although he didn't care about the money, although he had already expected it, he heard with his own ears that Shi Shi still couldn't lift his spirits for a long time. I abused myself once, scolded again, and finally let go of it completely, no longer entangled.

At the beginning of the year, Bawang Yan and Xu Zhen left City S, and Yan Changnian said that he was going to see his grandfather.The person who was hospitalized was Yan Bawang's own father. Back then, he wanted to use his youngest son as a bargaining chip to marry him, but Yan Bawang made a decision and refused to listen to the arrangement. On the day of the marriage, he ran away from the marriage. On the way, he met Xu Zhen who was also running away from the marriage. The two hit it off. We went to S City for an appointment, and then we had Yan Changnian.

Grandpa lost face that time, and angrily published a newspaper to break away from his father-son relationship. Since then, Bawang Yan and Xu Zhen have wholeheartedly brought their son to settle in S city and founded Yan's company. They have not had any contact with their family for more than 20 years.

This time the old man was hospitalized and his condition was serious. Thinking of his youngest son whom he hadn't seen for many years, maybe he was about to die, so he finally relented.

I don't know what the family talked about when they met. Yan Changnian later told Eleven that it was a false alarm; within a few days after returning, Yan Bawang agreed to transfer the company. The train returns to Yunyin Mountain in Qilong City.

There is an obvious difference in climate between the north and the south. He stepped out of the Qilong City Railway Station on November [-]. At this time, he changed his image of roasted ducks from years ago, and all the meat that was taken away by the virus came back. He probably couldn’t get away from Xu Zhen’s soup every meal. It seems that when Yan Chang brought him home during the Chinese New Year, both Yan Bawang and Xu Zhen accepted him silently. Maybe they still didn't like him very much in their hearts, but they still did their best and showed a gesture of caring for their children.

It is better to respect each other as guests than to hate each other.Moreover, the relationship between people can be improved. In the future, we will be a family, and there will be many times under the same roof. As long as both parties work together and work hard, we can always find a suitable mode of getting along.

Spring plowing should start after the beginning of spring, but Xu Zhen kept them until the fifteenth day, and they were only allowed to leave after eating glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival. It would be strange to look at him with the eyes of a monster, and he would definitely not agree with his choice.Yan Changnian was actually reluctant, but in the long run, it would be useful for the future to make some preparations when he goes back on the [-]th.

After leaving the train station, eleven ghosts took a bus to the riverside. The broken bridge of the Qilong Bridge was still there, and the river water poured into the big black hole in the river like a waterfall, making an earth-shattering sound.

There are still traces of worship on the shore, and an old man silently put down a chrysanthemum.He once paid attention to this incident on the Internet. More than 300 people were killed that day, and the casualties were heavy. The loss of the river will have a permanent impact on more than one million people downstream. Those families who have relied on the river for generations will be forced to change their way of life.

After calling in advance, Tao Xiaomei rode a motorcycle to the town to pick up Eleven.Tao Xiulei went to work in City G on the eighth day of the new year, and Tao Yuanhang left home on the fifth day of the new year, and he didn't know what to do with the money his parents left him. The wild horses that have taken off the rein are more reckless, and their attitude towards brothers and sisters is also a little careless.

Tao Xiaomei said it lightly, it is impossible to say that she is not sad, but it is not the first day I know the character of my brother, and now no one can control him, or after the separation of the family, no one wants to control him anymore. What Tao Yuanhang did was tantamount to stabbing everyone in the heart.
