immortal

In a blink of an eye, it was Niangen, Wang Meng asked for leave and went home, leaving me alone to look after the store.

I kept watching until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. In fact, it didn't make any sense at all, but staying here seemed to hold another illusory hope.

Zhang Qiling didn't even show his shadow this time, and I couldn't figure out why he did it.

In fact, I feel a little disheartened.

I lived with my third uncle Pan Zi for several years. Usually, I would close the shop and go to his place at this time. He is very busy at the end of the year. Pan Zi and I are his right-hand men. Yes, but now I haven't gone, and he didn't mention it.I just want to simply live at home by myself.

My dad called, and I was happy to play dumb without saying anything.He didn't say anything more, his side was still the same, saying that he would go back to the old house for the New Year, but he would bring Qi Yu and the child with him.

I wasn't surprised at all, my father is very old-fashioned, he must be thinking about letting his grandson recognize his ancestors, at least he would go to the ancestral hall to kowtow to his ancestors.

So I really became that dispensable person.

On the morning of the New Year’s Eve, the supermarket was still overcrowded. I originally planned to buy some food and go home to make do with it. In the middle of winter, I was sweating in the crowd, and I didn’t even buy a full basket. It was very long. I looked at the shopping carts full of people around me, and suddenly felt very boring.

In the end, I left the half-basket of things and drove the car onto the highway without even returning home.

The card issuer of the expressway warmly wished me a happy new year. .This is the first blessing I have received this year.There were almost no cars on the road, and I was driving very fast.When it was getting dark, the first fireworks rushed into the distant sky.

The fireworks gradually became denser, I have never seen such a scene.The highway runs through the edge of the city, and I seem to be driving in a corridor of fireworks.Pitching is full of beautiful scenery.However, at this time, my heart was full of regrets.

Maybe it's because there is one less person watching.

All the way without stopping.It was very late back home. .

Children in the village ran around and fired cannons.Dogs hide on days like this.It had just snowed, leaving only a trail in the middle of the road.The messy piles of firewood and bricks on both sides were covered with snow.Red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, with pairs attached to them.I looked from house to house.By the way, I studied the quality of the characters.

It was written by my second uncle at the door of my house.

Pushing open the courtyard door, my mother was walking towards the main room with a bowl, when she heard the door knocking, she turned her head and took a look, then stood there without moving.

"Xiao Xie?" She seemed a little disbelieving that I ran back in the middle of the night, and took two steps closer.

"Why are you back? Didn't you still say when I asked you in the morning..."

I stretched my head and took a look into the bowl she was holding. The bowl was full of sour soup dumplings with a layer of chives floating on it. My stomach couldn't bear it at that time.

I took a sip of the soup with my mother's hand.It was sour and hot, and she stuffed the bowl to me angrily and funny, "Didn't eat?" She asked me.

I shook my head, "Come back in a hurry. I didn't buy anything."

"I don't expect you either..." she said.Pointing to the room. "go in……."

Several people in the room watched TV around the Eight Immortals table. I stood at the door with a bowl in my hand and looked at it for a while, then I called out to my dad in a polite manner.My dad, who was sitting with his back facing me, turned around with a look of surprise, holding a white and fat baby in his arms.Already asleep.

The young man with glasses sitting next to my dad.It should be Kohane.

No one in the room spoke for a while, Xiaoyu stared at me, I stared at the baby in my dad's arms, my second uncle looked at me for a while, and my dad for a while.My dad just looked at the door, but luckily my mom came to the rescue with dumpling soup.

So it’s different if there is a woman in the house. After a while of tossing, adding stools and bowls and chopsticks, I sat next to my dad, and Xiao Yu was next to me.I called my second uncle, and he nodded across from me, lifted the cup on the table and drank it in one gulp.

My dad is older than I remember. Thinking about it carefully, in recent years, except for my mom who always came to visit me, he really doesn't move around very much.And I, an unfilial son, rarely come back.He doesn't talk much.They didn't ask me why I came back suddenly.Handed the child in his arms to Xiao Yu, and patted my shoulder.He reached for the wine bottle on the table and poured me a glass of wine.I want to come by myself, but he won't let me.After pouring it for me, I stood up and prepared to add to my second uncle. The second uncle got up and took the bottle.

The atmosphere was a little inexplicably awkward.None of the old men spoke.I cleared my throat and asked my dad, "Is this Xiao Yu?"

Kohane nodded at me.Of course, this is a knowing consultant, but I really don't know what to say.He smiled and called me in a low voice: "Brother." I was very emotional for a moment, but before I could say anything, the baby in his arms kicked his legs and woke up.

The little ancestor opened his mouth and began to cry.Qi Yu immediately panicked, not knowing where to put his hands.My mother heard the sound from the kitchen and ran out, still holding a large spoon in her hand, and raised it at my second uncle, who obediently got up and took over from her to watch the pot.

The two of them were holding the baby and changing diapers, and my mother directed Xiaoyu to turn around.

"Where's his mother?" I asked.

"Not back." Qi Yu raised his head and said.The exaggerated laughter from the TV echoed in the room.

.After everyone was seated again, the baby was refreshed.Arch and arch in my mother's arms.Enough chopsticks on the table.

My dad picked up the wine glass and knocked it on the table.

"Our Wu family, except for the third child, is all here today." He gave me a deep look, "It's done."

As soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Later, I squatted in front of my mother and took out my wallet.He took out all the money inside, rolled it into a roll and stuffed it into the baby's pocket.

Qi Yu said "too many" and stretched out his hand to block it, but I held it down.

"I'm also an uncle." I poked my tongue out, "I'm happy, don't worry about it."

The baby put out a chubby hand and took my fingers.grinned.The two lower teeth are exposed, which are indescribably round and lovely.

My mother handed the baby into my arms.I didn't dare to hug and shrank back.Seeing my cowardice, my mother started again, "Don't hide, you will have children sooner or later..."

I chuckled, and took out my phone, "I'll take a picture for you, don't move...Xiao Yu is coming too...Dad, you stand over too."

Xiao Yu leaned over and leaned on my mother's shoulder.I framed all four of them in the viewfinder.My dad looked at me with a smile behind them.

This is the feeling of home.
