??Uncle Six lives not far from Aunt Fourteen. They are both in the east district of Shiwei Town, and it takes about half an hour to drive there.

?? Aunt Fourteen parked the car and knocked on the door with her nephew.

??A thin woman walked out. Because of her thin body, the loose maternity clothes appeared wider on her slender body.

??Walk lightly, without a trace of vitality.

?? Aunt Fourteen took her hand when she entered the door, helped her to sit on the sofa.She said distressedly: "My mother, Lili, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you getting weaker?"

??The pregnant woman named Lili gave a weary smile and said, "If you drink water, you will vomit, isn't it weak?"

?? Aunt Fourteen sighed a few times and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

?? Lili shook her head in pain: "I ate an egg just now, and I vomited up all of it... Who is this?"

??Noticing the stranger following Aunt Fourteen, Lili asked curiously, "Haven't you seen him before?"

Aunt Fourteen introduced to her: "This is my nephew, the one I mentioned to you before, who specializes in treating those who can't eat."

?? "I'll bring him here to see if he can relieve morning sickness for you."

?? Lili has heard about Qi Le's deeds a long time ago, and she is very grateful: "I really troubled you, and I came here specially."

??Qi Le: "No trouble, it should be."

?? Lili is not a native of Guangdong. She grew up in Hunan. She just got married last year.She has a strong taste and is not used to Cantonese cuisine, so she usually cooks by herself.

??Now because of morning sickness, I feel uncomfortable when I smell oily smoke, and I can't get close to the kitchen at all.Pregnant women have a tricky appetite, and no one in the family knows how to cook Hunan cuisine, so Lili didn't eat well for a month.

?? To put it bluntly, when Aunt Fourteen asked Qi Le to come over for so-called help, she actually wanted him to cook some home-cooked dishes for Li Li and improve the food.

?? "Ale, I asked several chefs, and they all said they don't know how to fry chili. I remember that your grandfather seems to have learned Hunan cuisine. Has he taught you?"

??Qi Le nodded.

??Grandpa Qi Le has taken over patients all over the country, and he has studied every cuisine. Qi Le, as his personal disciple, has naturally learned all of them.

??Qi Le said: "I will do a little bit."

??It will be lunch time soon. After Qi Le finished speaking, he went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients, and pulled up his sleeves to start cooking.

??The fourteenth aunt volunteered to follow up and said she wanted to help: "I asked you to help, so how can I let you do it alone."

?? As a result, Aunt Fourteen covered her eyes and was choked out of the kitchen within a few seconds of frying the peppers.

?? Aunt Fourteen exclaimed at Lili: "Your Hunan cuisine is spicy enough. You can smell the spiciness through the glass door."

?? Lili glanced worriedly at the little figure in the kitchen, and said, "That doll, is it okay?"

??Aunt Fourteen: "Don't worry, Ah Le looks like a high school student, but he is very good."

??The cooking method of Hunan cuisine is not as cumbersome as that of Cantonese cuisine, just stir-fry over high heat.So in less than half an hour, Qi Le made lunch.

?? "Wow, I haven't eaten such authentic Hunan cuisine for a long time! Choked cauliflower, cured fried tofu, and this, fried pork that I can't even eat!"

??Looking at the brightly red hometown dishes on the table, Lili was so happy that she almost shed tears.God knows how many days and nights she wanted to eat these dishes.

??Qi Le wiped his hands and said, "I made two other cans of chili sauce for you, and put them in the refrigerator. One is fresh chopped black bean peppers, and the other is fried perilla and green peppers."

?? "During this time, when you can't eat, you can take them out for emergency."

?? "But you are pregnant, so you can't eat too much, and you will get angry easily."

?? Lili thanked Qi Le again and again.

??The few dishes Qi Le cooked today made her feel the taste of her hometown again.

?? After lunch, on the way home, Aunt Fourteen sighed: "Lili is a poor child. She married to this remote small fishing village by herself. She is not familiar with the place and language."

?? "Now that I'm pregnant, my natal family can't keep up, and your six uncles' family are all going to sea again. Lili doesn't even have anyone around who can take good care of her."

?? "Creating evil..."

??As Aunt Fourteen talked, she felt that the current Lili was very similar to the previous Qi Le.

?? Are lonely, helpless.

?? Aunt Fourteen was already alone, and she understood how hard life was like this.Especially when I was sick, I wanted to go to the hospital in the middle of the night to go to the emergency department, but I couldn't find anyone to accompany me.

?? She didn't want Qi Le to be like her in the future, miserable.Then he asked sideways, "Ale, have you ever thought about finding a partner for yourself?"

?? "You are not young anymore, it's time to think about your future."

??Although Qi Le has just turned 20 years old, in Shiwei Town, most of the boys his age have a stable partner, and even some are already married and have children.

??Qi Le has no elders in his family, and no one will help him with these matters. Aunt Fourteen volunteered.

?? "How about I tell you a girl? What kind of character do you like?"

?? "I have a friend, his daughter is 19 years old, she is quiet and beautiful... someday bring her to meet you?"

??Qi Le interrupted her and said, "No need for Aunt Fourteen, I don't like girls."

?? He likes men.

??The fourteenth aunt couldn't understand what the nephew said: "Oh, you haven't seen him yet, how do you know you don't like it?"

??Qi Le: "I won't like it even if I see it."

?? Fourteenth Aunt thought he was shy, and laughed loudly: "How can anyone fall in love with each other at the first meeting? Good feelings come from getting along with each other day and night."

?? "Maybe you have been with people a lot, and you have feelings for them?"

?? "It won't matter if we meet each other."

??Qi Le wants to cry but has no tears. It's true that his good feelings come from getting along day and night, but he has already developed feelings for others.

?? Qi Le was afraid that Aunt Fourteen would be impulsive and really bring that girl home.

?? He suddenly changed the subject: "Well...Aunt Fourteen, do you have a locksmith's phone number?"

?? Aunt Fourteen was indeed taken astray: "Why do you need a locksmith? Where is the lock broken?"

??Qi Le shook his head: "No, I...I just want to open the lock on the third floor."

?? Aunt Fourteen was surprised, and her tone was raised a few degrees: "The third floor?!!"

?? "Why did you open that lock??!"

?? Back then, when Grandpa Qi Le welded the iron gate on the third floor, Aunt Fourteen happened to be there. She still wondered why the third floor was being locked up.

??At that time, Qi Le's grandfather told her that it was because A Le was going to move back to Shiwei Town next week, and he locked it up so that his grandson would not think of bad things.

?? Aunt Fourteen understands.

?? She knew about Qi Le's amnesia.

?? She felt that the death of her poor cousin was definitely not as simple as suicide.

??But the grandpa and grandson, one of them refuses to mention it, and will rarely get angry if he accidentally asks a few more words.

??The other one was even more straightforward. After staying in the hospital for a week, he just forgot what happened that day.

?? Aunt Fourteen disagreed with Qi Le's attempt to open the lock on the third floor.

?? "That door was pretended by your grandfather for your sake, the purpose is not to remind you of the past."

?? "If you go to open it now, wouldn't it be a waste of your grandfather's hard work?"

?? Speaking of his deceased grandfather, Qi Le felt sad for a moment. He lowered his head and said, "I know..."

?? He knew that Grandpa was protecting him.

?? But he also has a reason to go to the third floor.

?? Aunt Fourteen was a little angry: "Since you know, why do you need to open the lock?"

?? She said earnestly: "Ale, since you have forgotten the past, let it go, why bother to touch it?"

?? In the eyes of outsiders, forgetting means that the pain is over.

??But for the person involved, forgetting is just a kind of self-hypnosis. The pain of the past did not leave, but stayed in another, more cruel way.

??Qi Le didn't want Aunt Fourteen to know about his illness, so he wrote lightly: "I just want to go up and have a look."

"Besides, after grandpa passed away, no one went up to offer incense to mom."

?? "You child... well, forget it."

??Aunt Fourteen is Qi Le's distant relative from beginning to end, so it's not good for her to interfere too much in other people's family affairs. Besides, it's hard for her to say no to the reason Qi Le said.

?? She called a locksmith: "Let me make an appointment for tomorrow, okay?"

??Qi Le breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Yes, thank you Fourteenth Aunt."

Aunt Fourteen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to the family. Well, we're home, let's go back."

??Qi Le got out of the car and said goodbye to her.

??Duan Yuan was sitting on a bench in the garden making a phone call. When he saw Qi Le came back, he waved to him and mouthed: "Come here."

?? Qi Le walked over, Duan Yuan held him in his arms, and lazily said to the phone: "I told you to stop reading Weibo, it's full of fake news."

?? "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, worrying about it."

??Because of the close distance, Qi Le clearly heard a woman's voice coming out of the receiver of the mobile phone, which was mellow and gentle.

?? "Every time there is news about you on Weibo, when I ask you, you always say it's fake news."

?? "How do we know which side is true and which side is false."

?? Duan Yu'an said perfunctorily: "I'm not calling you seriously? Even my own son can't believe it?"

?? It turned out to be Duan Yuan's mother.

??Qi Le straightened his back for no reason, and he got up to leave.

??Duan Yuan locked Qi Le and did not let him go. He smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

?? "Where is it going? Look at you, you are half-hearted on the phone with your mother."

?? The other end of the phone was dissatisfied: "You have been playing this music for six years, are you still not tired of it?"

?? "Let me ask you, when do you plan to quit the circle and come to Switzerland to see us?"

?? "Or do you not plan to have your mother?"

?? Duan Yuan glanced at Qi Le, smiled and said, "Wait until summer, it's cold in Switzerland now."

?? "It just so happens that the band is taking a break this year, so I'll bring someone to meet you."

??Qi Le suddenly looked at Duan Yu'an.

?? Mother Duan knowingly asked: "Who are you bringing to see me?"

?? Duan Yu'an didn't say: "You will know when the time comes."

?? Mother Duan's tone was cheerful: "Cheng, what you said, brought someone to Switzerland to meet us in summer."

?? "If you break your promise, we two old people will kill you back."

??Duan Yuan was amused, and said: "When did I ever break my promise? Don't worry, I will definitely pass by. Don't bother you two to fly back."

??The other party nagged a few more words, and finally hung up the phone satisfied.

??Qi Le was forced to listen to the entire call, he said embarrassedly: "I, shall we go to Switzerland in summer?"

??Duan Yuan deliberately teased him: "Huh? I didn't say that the person I'm going to bring is you..."

??Qi Le lowered his head, sullenly: "Oh."

??Duan Yuan leaned over, held back a smile and said, "We've only been together for a few days, and you want to go to Switzerland to meet my parents so soon?"

?? Qi Le turned his face away in shame, and said, "I didn't...you can take someone else there."

?? Duan Yuan turned his face away, and said with a light smile, "You're just kidding, who else would I take to see them without you?"

?? "When you recover from illness, we will go to Switzerland together."

??After speaking, Duan Yu'an suddenly changed to an extremely soft and gentle tone.

?? "At that time, the application procedures should also be completed."

??Qi Le didn't know, so: "What application procedure?"

?? Duan Yuan lifted his chin and kissed him: "I'll tell you the reason later."

??Early February is the season when sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom.

??The osmanthus tree in the southeast corner of the courtyard is covered with sweet-scented osmanthus, and the courtyard is full of sweetness. Qi Le closed his eyes, feeling Duan Yu'an's gentle kiss, his mouth and heart were sweet.

?? When the locksmith comes tomorrow, he will be able to go up to the third floor to retrieve the memory of that day.No matter whether the memory is good or bad, as long as the disease can be cured, Qi Le is not afraid to face it.

??Everything seems to be developing in a good direction...

??…

??A black car was parked on the concrete road outside the courtyard. Aunt Fourteen, who had suddenly turned back, was standing in front of the wooden fence with a pale face.

??Through the gap in the fence, she could clearly see two people sitting on the bench deep in the flowers.

?? Two people hugging each other tightly and kissing.
