Still tide

The big heart-shaped steamed bun made it difficult for Miao Jiayan to break. Grandma put it in a fresh-keeping bag and hid it in a drawer in Miao Jiayan's room.

With such a big steamed bun, Miao Jiayan can eat steamed buns for three meals a day without eating.

Grandma said that the big one looks good and is festive.

Miao Jiayan liked to grow long hair, wear skirts, and things that little girls love to play with since she was a child.If there is anyone in the world who really does not have any prejudices and comments about him, it is only grandparents.

Grandma not only ignored him, but also indulged his little hobbies. She would hang light yellow curtains that girls like, spread sky blue sheets for him, and secretly make him a pink peach bun like this. .

So even though Miao Jiayan received a lot of comments and stares because of his unusual preferences, and even his parents didn't want him, he was still a happy child with a lot of love.

In the small building of grandma's house, he has his own dream world, which is quiet and beautiful.

Miao Jiayan grabbed a piece of steamed bun and chewed it in her mouth. The steamed buns steamed by grandma are always a bit sweet, because they are filled with custard filling and have a gentle fragrance.But he couldn't eat it anymore, so he grabbed a corner, screwed the fresh-keeping bag back on, and put it back in the drawer.

When closing the drawer, I looked up and saw the small window opposite. It was Grandma Chen who came up to open the window for ventilation.That room is always open and open with no curtains drawn.

In fact, there are some people who have no prejudice and don't care about Miao Jiayan's "abnormalities" from the bottom of their hearts.That was the only one Miao Jiayan had ever met, other than her grandparents.

Uncle Chen Chao's family came back on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. The younger brother of the second uncle's family was two years younger than Chen Chao and was still in junior high school.Chen Chao's father and his second uncle are very similar, but Chen Chao and his younger brother don't look alike at all.

Chen Chao looks half like his mother, and his younger brother looks exactly like his aunt.The younger brother has a very round face, big eyes, and round everywhere.

On the day the second uncle's family came back, Chen Chao went to the parking lot to pick them up.He came out of the house with his head down, and bumped into Miao Jiayan who was going to the flower shed.

Miao Jiayan was obviously taken aback when she saw him, she was stunned for two seconds, then she dodged back to make way.

Chen Chao looked at him, didn't speak, and walked past him with no expression on his face.

This is the second time Miao Jiayan saw Chen Chao since he came back.On the first side, he somehow called "Chen Chao", but on the second side, Miao Jiayan didn't even dare to open his mouth.

The younger brother doesn't have the same temperament as Chen Chao. The younger brother is outgoing. When Chen Chao lived here before, he liked to come and play.Ding Wentao was also extroverted, and the two extroverts got together and finally liberated Chen Chao.Gun'er took his younger brother for a walk around, and Chen Chao could just lie down at home or draw a picture.

Chen Guangda wandered into Chen Chao's room. Chen Chao was sitting cross-legged on the bed reading a book. Chen Guangda came in and lay down on his bed.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Chao asked.

"Lie down for a while." Chen Guangda let out a long sigh of relief and stretched himself.

"Why are you lying here with me?" Chen Chao moved to the side, thinking his father was too crowded, "Go back to your own room and lie down."

"I don't have a room. Do you think I'm you? I still have a room." Chen Guangda moved his head and rested his head on Chen Chao's legs, "We all have to sleep together."

"I told you to sleep with me and you didn't listen." Chen Chao said.

"I won't sleep with you, you have too many things to do." Chen Guangda sneered, "I can't afford to offend you if you bump into this or that."

Chen Chao did not refute.

Chen Chao's appearance is half like his mother's, and his temper is more than half like his.He has a lot of things, has a bad temper, and is not easy-going. He was not the kind of child who was loved by others since he was a child.

Chen Guangda's heavy head kept pressing on Chen Chao's leg, which was unbearable.Not long after, Chen Chao took a pillow and replaced his legs.

Chen Guangda squinted for more than half an hour, and it was only at night that Chen Chao realized why Chen Guangda wanted to sleep with him.

At dinner, grandma brought up the topic and asked Chen Guangda: "Is this the way you and Jiang Li are? Are you going to make it through?"

Chen Guangda looked at Chen Chao immediately, and Chen Chao drank the soup with his eyes downcast, ignoring him.

"Why do you keep talking about me?" Chen Guangda responded, "Let's talk about it."

"How many years?" Grandma obviously didn't want him to be fooled this time, "You are already in your forties, why are you still not serious?"

The uncle and aunt laughed along, knowing that the old lady would not fail to mention it.Chen Guangda touched Chen Chao with his knee, and Chen Chao bumped back without helping him.

"You don't have to look at the child, just look at what he's doing." The grandma waved her arms to this side vainly, not to let Chen Guangda make trouble, "The child was fine with me before, but now he has gone back and is in high school, who will take care of him?" ah?"

"Who will take care of him when he is so old?" Chen Guangda looked at his son and said nonchalantly, "It's useless when I'm so old, you take care of me."

"Get out!" Grandma glared at him, and stretched out her hand to hit him on the arm through the two of them. "What are you talking about? The children now are the same as yours back then?"

"It's different, aren't they all children?" Chen Guangda said with a playful smile, "My son will save trouble."

Chen Guangda and Jiang Li have been divorced for more than four years. In the past two years, every time grandma sees her, she will ask about it, and Chen Guangda is afraid to ask about it.He never said what he was thinking, and Chen Chao never asked him.

Chen Chao didn't care whether his parents were remarried or not, he didn't care.He didn't want to participate in this topic either, so he went upstairs after dinner.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Guangda and Miao Jian sat together for a meal and drank some wine.Miao Jian came by himself, and the two of them sat in the small kitchen of grandma's house and drank for half an afternoon.I didn't drink much wine, and talked most of the time.

When Chen Chao passed by the door, he heard Miao Jian say in a calm voice, "I don't want to bother with him, and it's useless to do so, but I'm really troubled..."

Chen Guangda persuaded: "If you really can't control it, forget it, maybe you won't be like this when you grow up."

"Then what if it's still like this?" Miao Jian rubbed his face and sighed, "What happened..."

"Then what else can you do? You're just trying to make ends meet." Chen Guangda was used to children, so he didn't really understand Miao Jian's worries. Although it seemed strange to him, it wasn't a big deal.

"I heard there was a lot of noise in your yard in the morning. Did you stop beating the children?" Chen Guangda said disapprovingly, "Don't beating. I won't kiss you after the beating. We will be separated from you by one floor."

"I didn't fight, I just said a few words, and my parents protected me." Miao Jian said, "I didn't even kiss at first, because I was afraid of me."

"If you're not afraid, you'll be weird." Chen Guangda said.

In fact, Chen Guangda asked Miao Jian to come over for this meal on purpose, and Grandma Chen asked him to, fearing that he would beat the children if he got angry at home, and it would not be good to make the house dirty during the Chinese New Year.

Miao Jiayan was told by his father in the morning because the hair dryer broke down in the morning. Miao Jiayan went downstairs with her half-wet hair and was going to the flower shed when his father came back from outside and saw her.

Miao Jiayan walked over with her head down, but was pulled back by his dad's elbow, using a bit of strength in her hand, Miao Jiayan shrugged due to the strength, and knocked her shoulder against the door.

"What are you doing!" Grandma Miao hurried out of the kitchen when she heard the voice, "Don't touch him!"

Miao Jian endured it for so many days, and now he couldn't bear it any longer. He stared at Miao Jiayan and said, "Go get your hair cut today. I want to see if you haven't cut it tonight, so you can wait for me to give it to you." Cut."

Miao Jiayan's shoulder hurt badly, but she didn't reach out to rub it under his father's nose, she just stood there with her head down.

"Did you hear me talking to you?" Miao Jian picked up Miao Jiayan's collar, "Are you deaf?"

Grandma ran over and patted Miao Jian's hand away: "Let go! What are you doing in the morning!"

"Miao Jiayan, I'm going to bear you to the end, don't provoke me to clean you up." Miao Jian glared at him, and wanted to say something, but was pushed and shoved away by his grandmother.

Grandma turned her head and winked at Miao Jiayan, telling him to leave quickly.

So Miao Jiayan stayed in the small flower shed for a day, and before dinner, his grandfather brought two insulated lunch boxes over and asked him to go back later.

He stayed in the flower shed until ten o'clock, and the humidity of the shed was all over his body, even his breathing was damp.

The next morning, Miao Jiayan got up early, took out the steamed buns that were frozen in the freezer, steamed them, and left with them.

Grandma was the only one at home when he went out, and grandma said that he would ask grandpa to give it to him when he was eating, and told him not to meet his father, and they would all leave after the new year.As I was talking, my eyes were still a little red, and I said, "Grandma won't let them come back next year for Chinese New Year."

"It's okay." Miao Jiayan put her arms around her shoulders and smiled, "I'd rather stay in the flower shed. I raised a box of seedlings yesterday."

"They all eat and drink at home, and my grandson has no place to stay, and they can't eat." Grandma said as she wiped her eyes, "Get out next year."

"What are you doing, grandma..." Miao Jiayan bent down and looked at her at grandma's level, "What's wrong...it doesn't matter where I stay, don't be unhappy."

"Why are you happy?" Grandma said with great displeasure, "No one will come back next year, just the three of us will celebrate the New Year at home."

Miao Jiayan coaxed her with a smile: "All right, you have the final say, be happy, I'm leaving, my dad will wake up in a while."

"Go, let's not look at him!" Grandma pushed him, "Let's go."

Miao Jiayan left with his sliced ​​steamed buns. It was just dawn outside, and there was no one in the alley.

The freshly steamed steamed bun was still steaming, Miao Jiayan took a piece from the bag and ate it while walking.It is still hot to eat now, and it will be completely cool when he walks to the flower shed.

Passing by the door of Chen Chao's house, Miao Jiayan glanced sideways. The door was still closed. Chen Chao hadn't gotten up yet at this time, so he was a bit sleepy.

Miao Jiayan was chewing steamed buns and walking, when the door rang behind her, Miao Jiayan looked back subconsciously.

This glance made him pause.

Miao Jiayan was still holding half a piece of steamed bun in her hand, she turned her head and swallowed what she was chewing.

Chen Chao came out to fetch medicine for his younger brother, who had a little fever.

The two walked one after the other, Miao Jiayan ate steamed buns while walking, walking slowly, not daring to look back.The alley was quiet except for the footsteps of two people.

"Stand there."

When Chen Chao made a sound suddenly, Miao Jiayan was startled, and her footsteps stopped instantly.

He hurriedly looked back, Chen Chao walked over a few steps, and asked blankly, "You don't know me?"

Miao Jiayan's eyes were rounded, and there was still a mouthful of steamed buns in her mouth, and she replied vaguely: "No... I don't know you."

"What to eat, take one bite at a time." Chen Chao said.

"Steamed buns..." Miao Jiayan put the remaining piece in her mouth, opened the fresh-keeping bag and handed it over, "Do you want to eat it?"

Chen Chao reached out and tore off a corner and put it in his mouth: "What color is this?"

"Dragon fruit, my grandma steamed it." Miao Jiayan said in a low voice, a little reserved.

Chen Chao took a step forward, Miao Jiayan paused, but still kept up, walking beside him, not daring to speak, just followed quietly.

"I thought you didn't know him." Chen Chao didn't look at him, "I didn't say anything when I saw him."

Miao Jiayan looked up at him, and said after two seconds: "I dare not."

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Chao glanced at him, "What's wrong with me?"

"I called you the first day...you ignored me," Miao Jiayan blinked her eyes and whispered innocently, "Don't dare again."

"You called me?" Chen Chao raised his eyebrows, with a handsome face, he always looked a little different from usual when he made such an expression.

"It's called..." Miao Jiayan looked at him and said in a low voice.

"What's it called?"

"I called your name." Miao Jiayan replied.

When Chen Chao suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, Miao Jiayan was completely blinded. Chen Chao wrapped his arms around his neck and pinched his chin with his backhand to make him look up. He asked fiercely: "Chen Chao is also What's your name?"

It took more than ten seconds for Miao Jiayan to react, her eyes slowly lit up, and she called out with a smile, "Brother Chao."

"I came back from a year of walking with me here as 'Chen Chao', did you call 'Chen Chao'?" Chen Chao walked around Miao Jiayan like this, annoyed him.

Miao Jiayan was pinched so that her face was deformed and she was still laughing, her eyes were slightly bent into a shallow and beautiful arc, and there was a smile in her voice, and she yelled again in a low voice: "Brother Chao!"

"It's not big or small." Chen Chao rambled two more handfuls of Miao Jiayan's hair before letting him go.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore." Miao Jiayan stroked her hair, a little embarrassed.

Already at the intersection, Chen Chao tapped and flicked his index finger and middle finger, and flicked it on Miao Jiayan's head, said "hypocritical", and walked towards the health center after speaking.

Miao Jiayan was left carrying his steamed bun bag, walked a few steps and turned around, looking very happy.
