Dead after eight years [rebirth]

"Why... I... Mom is not questioning what you mean, or... I'm not very...Xiao Ci, are you sure?"

The cup was broken, the coffee was wet on the carpet, Dou Shuyi hurriedly tried to clean it up, but accidentally knocked down the fruit plate on the coffee table, the bright red cherries spilled all over the floor, the juice mixed with the coffee, the wool carpet seemed to have been stained with blood.

Dou Shuyi raised her head with the last ray of hope, eager for Zhang Ci'an to give her a different answer, but Zhang Ci'an just lowered her eyes and whispered: "Mom, you know, I won't lie."

That's right, her son is so smart, he never bothers to waste energy and wisdom on lies, if he says it's Cheng Shuibei, it must be Cheng Shuibei.

Dou Shuyi was stunned, but Zhang Ci'an turned around to get a handkerchief, cleaned up the mess on the table, and brought new hot coffee to his mother, as if he was used to doing housework skillfully.

"When I was in Yunan, I lived with Xiaobei, and we took care of each other," Zhang Ci'an said.

Eating at Boss Cheng's house is not free. Zhang Ci'an has to wash and chop vegetables, sweep and mop the floor to tutor children in their studies, repair computers and change light bulbs, and occasionally groom dogs and feed insect repellents. Master Zhang did all the chores he had done.

He ran again, brought a clean square towel to cover the stained carpet, and made sure that no one would step on the blood-like color, then washed his hands, and sat down beside his mother again .

"I'm not joking, nor was it a whim. Xiaobei and I have been together for a long time, so long that you won't believe it. I am extremely sure that after a hundred years, I just want to be buried with him. I love He, like you love daddy."

Zhang Ci'an hesitated for a long time, leaned towards his mother, and held her mother's hand cautiously.

"We will live together, buy a small house of our own in Yunan, and live an ordinary life. If you feel homesick, I will fly back to Jiangshuo to grow flowers with you."

"I know this may sound absurd, but if possible, Mom, I would like to have your blessing."

Dou Shuyi's tears did not know when they fell, maybe when Zhang Ci'an was cleaning the table, maybe when Zhang Ci'an was talking about life and death, maybe when Zhang Ci'an said he needed a mother.

She couldn't help hugging her son tightly. Zhang Ci'an grew up from a small dumpling to his current size, and he was still the flesh that fell from her body.

"From childhood to adulthood, I owe you a lot, but I still want to beg you not to object."

After Zhang Ci'an finished speaking, she found that the tears in her mother's eyes just now were completely uncontrollable.

Dou Shuyi lay on his shoulders, crying and said: "Mom didn't object to you. Mom wants Xiaoci to be happy. Xiaoci, mom just... didn't slow down for a while. Mom needs some time. Mom will think about it carefully." .”

Since childhood, Zhang Ci'an has been proud of his mother.His mother is a great writer, even more famous than the rich father. She can plant flowers, fold napkins into bunnies, and tell stories about mathematicians one after another.His father was busy all year round, and his mother was his support and companionship during his growing years.

And now, the great mother is crying before his eyes.

Zhang Ci'an felt guilty.

He gently wiped away his mother's tears: "I'm sorry, I'm not a child who makes you worry. I'm almost 23 years old and still let you cry for me."

Not only is he 23 years old, but with the 16 years between yin and yang, Zhang Ci'an should have been unable to forgive himself for more than [-] years.

"Give mom a little time, mom needs to think about it. I'm sorry, Xiaoci, I think I need to rest now, can you send me back?"

Dou Shuyi's face was full of exhaustion, Zhang Ci'an agreed with guilt and helped her to rest on the second floor.

Before leaving, Zhang Ci'an stopped at the door, looked at his mother who was already lying down, and opened his mouth anyway.

"Mom, I once had a very long dream. In the dream, I failed to stop you from going to the signing. In the dream, the fire separated us, and I became a child without a mother."

This is not a dream, this is the bloody reality that Zhang Ci'an has experienced.

"In my dream, I left my mother and felt that I would never love again. I was so disappointed in this world, but Xiaobei came to my side, and he loved me just as I loved him."

"It's a pity that this is a nightmare. At the end of the dream, Xiaobei left like a mother, and I became a person again."

Dou Shuyi's shoulders trembled, but she didn't dare to turn her head to look at her son. Zhang Ci'an could only say to herself, "Fortunately, it was a dream. Fortunately, I woke up and you were still there. So, I don't want the nightmare to come true, and I don't want to lose my little one." north."

"I don't even want to be like Uncle En."

There is a photo in Uncle En's wallet in Hengnian. Zhang Ci'an has seen it before. It is a group photo of comrades-in-arms with a sense of age.

In the photo, next to Uncle En, there is a man who is smiling happily. They call him a comrade in arms, a brother.They went to the south to fight, Uncle En came back, but the man next to him was buried in the land where the war finally disappeared.

Later, the young man named Chen En never married again. From the "Little En" in others' mouth, he became a lonely Uncle En day by day.

Everyone in the Zhang family knows this story.So Uncle En is not only a driver or a servant in Zhang's house, but also a part of their family.

Zhang Ci'an gently closed the door for his mother, and then went downstairs to sit quietly.

Cheng Shuibei was probably very busy, so he didn't send him a message all morning. Zhang Ci'an knew where he was, so he wasn't in a hurry.

At lunchtime, Aunt Hu came back and called a professional to replace the carpet with a new one. The old one, which was stained, was thrown into the cold winter wind, and it would become a shelter for some downcast person in the cold night.

Dou Shuyi didn't come down, so Zhang Ci'an nervously watched Niuniu and Chacha play in the yard. His freshly washed paws were stained with mud, and he had a great time grabbing every branch.

He didn't know what his mother would decide in the end, Zhang Ci'an had already made preparations before putting all his eggs in one basket.If the final result is unsatisfactory, he can give up his family property, live in a rented house with Cheng Shuibei, and sneak back to take a look when he misses his family.

It's just that Zhang Ci'an would regret not letting Xiaobei get the blessing of his family.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ci'an received a call from Cheng Shuibei.

"Hey, Brother Ci, I'm in the west of the city. Ask if Cheng Nan is okay, and if you can pick me up by car. The little monkey said that there will be a fireworks show tonight, and I want to see it..."

Cheng Shuibei chattered a lot, sounded very happy, and his tone was raised at the end.

Zhang Ci'an agreed, handed Niuniu to Aunt Hu and took her back to her room, forgetting her troubles and hugging Chacha to go out to find Cheng Nan.

When he walked to the door, he heard his mother's voice.

Standing not far behind him, Dou Shuyi said softly: "Xiao Ci, keep it a secret from your father... Then, bring him when you have time, mother wants to meet someone you like."

She promised to see Cheng Shuibei, Zhang Ci'an's lover Cheng Shuibei.

"it is good."

Zhang Ci'an didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that his mother would cry, and he was afraid that he would not see her cry.

Little Monkey didn't lie, a new scenic spot was built in the upper reaches of the Yunjiang River. The scenic spot opened for business years ago, and fireworks are set off every night these days to attract people.

They arrived not too late, but they almost couldn't even find a place to park.Crowded and busy everywhere, the car stopped 500 meters away, not today, Cheng Shuibei didn't know that Jiangshuo, a small [-]th-tier city, could accommodate so many people.

A few of them didn't eat. On the way here, Zhang Ci'an stopped and bought some hamburgers and fried chicken. Anyway, they couldn't squeeze in. They simply sat and ate in the car, opened the sliding door, and looked at the scenic spot while eating. direction.

Cheng Chacha obviously ate Niuniu a lot of dog food, but he couldn't stop whining when he smelled the fried chicken. The more Cheng Nan refused to let him eat it, the more he wagged his tail.

Seeing this, Zhang Ci'an secretly put a small piece of tender chicken that had been peeled off the deep-fried skin into the palm of his hand and fed it to Chacha, and said in a low voice while eating: "If I make Brother Xiaobei angry someday, you have to speak for me. Good words!"

"Woohoo!" The little dog kept his word and agreed.

The one-person-one-dog conspiratorial transaction was finally discovered. Zhang Ci'an was about to receive a mixed north-south punch, but Cheng Zhacha rushed over and grabbed Brother Xiaobei's sleeve and pulled it back, as if fulfilling his promise.

Several people laughed, and Cheng Shuibei hugged Chacha and made friends, thinking that a promise and a thousand gold is also a good character of Chacha, but his family Professor Zhang has too many thoughts and has to guard against it.

When they were fighting, Cheng Nan suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, the fireworks have started!"

A dazzling light rises above the cultural town on the other side of the river. The overwhelming firelight illuminates the winter night, and the river shimmers like the Milky Way.

The darker the night, the more precious and dazzling the light.

"At this time, shouldn't we make a wish?" Cheng Nan suggested.His deskmate is an elegant and romantic little girl, who has studied this way the most, and Cheng Nan remembers it through his ears and eyes.

Cheng Shuibei was in a good mood, and immediately responded: "Okay, then make a wish, my wish is that Cheng Chacha will never get sick, and Cheng Nan grows to 1.9 meters!"

"As for me," Professor Zhang protested, "how come you don't have me, nor yourself in your wish."

Cheng Shuibei tilted his head and smiled: "It goes without saying that the wish has been fulfilled."

"Okay, then I'll make one more wish, I hope Cheng Shuibei won't fail—" Zhang Ci'an smiled brighter, Cheng Shuibei covered his mouth when he said the wish.

Without him, it's just that Cheng Shuibei failed the exam because he didn't get up in his previous life.

"You are not wishing! You wish again!"

"What can be realized but has not yet been realized, why is it not called a wish?"

Cheng Nan was surrounded by the mystery of the two, and also made a wish: "My wish is that Cheng Shuibei can get everything he wants."

After he finished speaking, both Cheng Shuibei and Zhang Ci'an were stunned. No one thought that his brother would make a wish, and Cheng Shuibei was the only one in the wish.

"You, why don't you ask for yourself?" Cheng Shuibei was a little excited, his voice trembling.

Cheng Nan jumped out of the car, stood on the side of the road and looked into the distance, his 15-year-old figure already looked like an adult.

He looked back at Cheng Shuibei, pointed at the fireworks in the sky, and smiled brightly: "Because I can work hard for what I want. Cheng Shuibei is a fool and needs more wishes and love from others."
