On the bone

Xia Pei once watched a song and dance movie with bright colors. I can’t remember the plot of the movie. I only remember that there was a scene where almost the entire warm color system was stacked on the audience’s retina in a very beautiful and dreamy way. , to produce visual shock and deepen memory.

Not knowing what other people are like, Xia Pei was fascinated at that time.

And now, those colors are not worth mentioning, because in his eyes every day is the same.

After returning from the beach house, Sharpay fell into an unprecedented period of passionate love, hot and sticky, like any pair of lovers, even if they are separated from each other for a moment, they seem to be dry.

Most of the time, Cheng Xinhai would stay at Xia Pei's house until very late before leaving. Most of the time, he would stay overnight. As the only resident guest of Xia Pei's house, Cheng Xinhai tried his best to show his lovable and well-behaved side. Coaxing grandma to be happy, often teasing grandma from ear to ear, coupled with the excellent home cooking, he quickly transformed into an indispensable family member of Xia Pei's family.

Sharpay's mini bed finally maximized the use of space. At night, it would creak and creak, like a small boat floating on the sea, fragile and helpless. Overturned, less than a week after returning, the cot collapsed.

I dare not let Cheng Xinhai stay anymore. After dinner, Xia Pei will send Cheng Xinhai downstairs, and then he will come up after a long time. The sweat stains on the neck were soaked, revealing the looming traces of tooth marks.

When Xia Pei goes downstairs, grandma usually sits in the living room and watches TV for a while. According to grandma's biological clock, when Xia Pei comes back, there is only a small voice-activated floor lamp waiting for him at the door. The bedroom door is closed, and grandma has already fallen asleep.

At this time, Xia Pei will take a bath lightly, then wash up and lie on the newly bought small wooden bed to talk on the phone with Cheng Xinhai.

One day, when he came up, he found a glass of boiled water beside the small bamboo basket where the door keys were usually placed, which was still warm to the touch.

After staring at the glass of water for a long time, Xia Pei suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood on tiptoe and hurriedly ran to the balcony on the other side of the living room, trying not to make too much noise.

The small unit is small in size, but its orientation is very good. The balcony is bright and bright, and there is a large piece of window. During the day, the sunlight coming in will burn the window lattice. At this time, the starry night is dimly lit, and the crescent moon hangs like a hook on the treetop in the distance. Xia Pei leaned forward and looked down. A bright street lamp downstairs sprinkled light into the square inch, which was the parking space where the white Audi of Cheng Xinhai often parked.

A set of images of the car body shaking violently flashed in Xia Pei's mind.

Inadvertently, the line of sight passed over something and turned back. On the wooden shelf full of flower pots, an army green binoculars were placed there safely, with wide-angle outdoor night vision functions.

Xia Pei undoubtedly told Cheng Xinhai about this matter, he was worried that grandma would notice something about the two of them, but the other party praised with a smile, saying that grandma was really not built, and everyone knew that Xia Pei was made of water Yes, the flow is too much to make up.

For Xia Pei, too many things happened in the summer when he was 20 years old. He could recall his chest getting hot at any time. This summer carried too much weight in his life, and the most unforgettable thing among these things was Intentionally gave him a 20th birthday present.

A real estate deed with both names written on it.

Cheng Xinhai told him that he rented the apartment near Jiangzhong Academy of Fine Arts. Most of the single teachers choose to rent the house there and enjoy the school’s accommodation subsidies. Man, the favor of three melons and two dates is nothing at all, he wants to have a nest of his own.

Newlyweds and new houses, this is what it looks like.

At first, Xia Pei was like an unconscious wax figure with no expression on his face. He didn't even blink his eyes. After Xinhai waved his hand in front of him for a long time, Xia Pei slowly moved his gaze to his face: "You... ...how do you have so much money?"

"I do not have it."

Xia Pei was stunned again.

"It's fine if the bank has it." Cheng Xinhai smiled.

"But Aunt Liu at the grocery store is rather stingy, and every month I just...just..." Xia Pei stammered, looking a little embarrassed: "And she only hired me for this summer vacation, and I have to go back to school... No, I'll find another job, how much do we have to pay each month?"

When it comes to money, Xia Pei is very unconfident. He has thought about the future with Cheng Xinhai, but the economy cannot be free and independent, so how can we talk about building a better future together?

What's more, he still needs to raise his grandmother.

Cheng Xinhai built a love nest for two people so early, which made Xia Pei both excited and at a loss. He was afraid that Cheng Xinhai's financial pressure would be too great, and he would become a burden who could only eat soft meals, and he was afraid of breaking up. Part of the time I live here in Chengxinhai, I will neglect to take care of my grandma, and my emotions are complicated for a while, and my eyes can't help but turn red.

"Hey, you can't cry," Cheng Xinhai hugged Xia Pei from behind, and folded the real estate certificate in his hand tightly: "You wet the real estate certificate with tears, and my heart trembles."

Hearing the boy sniff his nose a few times, Xinhai put the certificate aside, and hugged him tightly in his arms: "Xia Pei, listen carefully, I didn't ask you to return it now, When I graduate and have a job, I will consider whether to let you take it on. If the work makes you tired and you can't serve me when you come back, then just stay at home honestly and don't go anywhere..."

Just when Xia Pei turned around to say something, Xin Xinhai blocked him with words.

"I love grandma too, and I am afraid that she will be lonely. When our house is renovated, I will take grandma to live with me. I bought two rooms specially. Grandma's bedroom, including the living room and balcony, I will use whatever places grandma likes. Your house is decorated as it is, so it is convenient for grandma to live in, and..." Lowering his voice, intentionally brewing an ambiguous smell, he stuck it on Xia Pei's ear and said, "I brought something to test the house, and the sound insulation effect is very good , let's buy a stronger big bed..."

With a red face, Xia Pei turned around with his shoulders and forehead and squeezed hard into a sea of ​​hearts, not letting him hug.

Xia Pei remembers that on the night of his 20th birthday, Xinhai didn't leave, and finally shook the newly bought small wooden bed in the bedroom by one leg.

The summer of that year was like a storm, stirring up all the feelings that Xia Pei had never experienced before, such as sweetness, happiness, excitement, and heartiness. The climaxes were like the top of a parabola. Counting forward is the best The same is true for a period of time, counting back.

The end of summer passed quickly, the weather gradually turned cooler, but the autumn tigers caught people off guard from time to time, the temperature fluctuated from hot to cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge.

Grandma has always been coughing since the beginning of autumn and often suffers from asthma. Xia Pei prepared a lot of medicine for grandma at home in case of emergency.

On this day, it began to rain drippingly from the early morning, and it didn't stop until the evening. The decoration of the new house has not yet been completed, and the number of visits from Cheng Xinhai is obviously much less than before. After class, I have to rush to the new house to watch the decoration work , Xia Pei went home early to make dinner, and grandma came out of the room, leaning on crutches and saying that she would come to help.

Then there was a loud bang, which made Xia Pei tremble with fright, and ran out in a hurry.

Before her eyes, grandma was lying in the living room, and her walking stick was thrown several meters away.

Grandma's eyes were tightly closed, her hands tugged at her chest, and her body was curled up. Xia Pei rushed over in a panic and found that her breathing was weak. He had learned first aid before, with his arms down, and he was constantly doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on grandma's chest. .

When did the ambulance arrive, how did it go up together, and how did he call Cheng Xinhai? Weakly drifting with the tide, until people in medical uniforms rushed over and pushed grandma's car into the emergency room, Xia Pei became somewhat self-aware in a trance...

The moment he was driven out of the emergency room, a piercing notification sounded behind him.

beep one by one

Xia Pei turned his head mechanically, and a thin, smooth line stretched straight out from the gap in the door, on the screen of the instrument placed beside grandma's bed.

The author says:

Grandma woo...

There are too many more, I have to take a break, and continue next Monday.
