across winter

On Saturdays and Sundays, the day off, Secretary Xu and Ms. Huo are all at home. One is sitting on the balcony with glasses and reading newspapers, and the other is knitting a sweater in the living room.When Si Wei and Si Hang entered the door, they happened to see Ms. Huo knitting a scarf. The air conditioner in this house was still on, and there was a clear sign of cooling on the sign.

"Mom, you're so hot in summer, how about knitting a scarf?" Si Hang put on his shoes, and sank into a piece as soon as he sat on the sofa. He leaned next to Ms. Huo and watched her draw the thread, " It's a good job for you to pass the time!" Then he gave Ms. Huo a thumbs up.

"Why haven't you become poorer after a while?" Huo Yunqing smiled and tapped Si Hang's temples with her fingers, "Why haven't I seen you speak so neatly before!"

"Mom, it's been a while since I've seen you. Do you miss you?" He leaned towards Huo Yunqing, just as Xu Siwei went to the bathroom to change and came out. Seeing this, he gave a disgusted "tsk" and leaned Looking at the bathroom door, he shook his head at Xu Sihang, "You're glib, use your accent!"

Secretary Xu looked at the newspaper, and started to listen with his ears pricked up the moment the two brothers entered the door. Unknowingly, he turned his chair halfway to the left, pretending to be reading the newspaper, and kept watching them from the corner of his eyes. Woolen cloth.

He was so focused on chatting with Ms. Huo that he ignored Secretary Xu!Secretary Xu was secretly jealous for a while, and continued to inquire about the situation, seeing that the two sons still ignored him, so he gave a soft "hum" at this stall, which seemed to echo Xu Siwei's words.

Xu Sihang turned his head in "surprise", "Hey, isn't this Secretary Xu? I thought you had gone to work! I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so it's here!"

Secretary Xu was noticed, and he turned his chair around with satisfaction, still pretending not to care, his glasses reflected a ray of light under the sun, making him look wise and sharp. "Do you still know to come back?" Secretary Xu glanced at Xu Sihang, then at Xu Siwei, anyone with a discerning eye knew who he was talking about.

"About you, Xu Siwei!" Xu Sihang tilted his head and yelled at Si Wei at the bathroom door. Si Wei put his hands on his chest and snorted coldly, "Dad is talking about you!"

"It's obviously you!"

"Fart, I mean you!"

...

The two were arguing there, and Ms. Huo smiled and shook her head and continued knitting. The two of them deliberately held back with Secretary Xu to see who could lose their temper first. They were trying to tease Secretary Xu in another way!

"All right, all right! I'll ask both of you, I'll ask both of you!" Secretary Xu couldn't bear to hear the two of them quarreling, and immediately stood up, walked to the living room with his hands behind his back, and interrupted their conversation.

The two shut their mouths for a moment, and the brothers looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"You two, don't bother Lao Xu anymore, do you still think he is not busy enough?" Ms. Huo made a noise while watching the farce. After all, she still felt sorry for Secretary Xu. Secretary Xu looks pretty good.

"Sihang, I heard that your brother wanted to take you to see the car a few days ago? Did you come back in a car today?" Secretary Xu made a circle, abandoned the chair on the balcony, and ran to the living room to sit. caught.

Xu Sihang thought to himself, Wei Si is really an idiot, he vented to Secretary Xu before he bought the car, and then the two changed their minds and didn't buy it.Thinking that Zhi Ning drove over here today, Xu Sihang immediately fell silent, and glanced at Xu Siwei, who was also looking at him. The two brothers exchanged eye contact. Captain Si.

"No, Dad, I was impulsive at the time, and after thinking about it, I still need to spend rationally. I have several cars, Si Hang can drive mine, so I didn't buy them, hehe!" Si Wei didn't dare to lean back, Standing straight at the door of the bathroom, as if answering the chief's question, don't be too scared.

"Rational consumption is not bad." Secretary Xu glanced at the two of them approvingly, and continued to ask, "Then today? Did you come back by taxi, or by subway?"

Si Hang thought about it, thinking that he couldn't escape left or right, he might as well admit it openly, "Dad, I didn't take the subway or taxi today, I came back by a ride!"

"Hitch ride, what kind of ride is it?" Secretary Xu looked puzzled.

"I came back in Ningning's car, Ningning, Zhou Zhining!"

Secretary Xu nodded. He understood what Xu Sihang said. The youngest son of the Zhou family, "You used to be the best with him in the yard!" Secretary Xu recalled that Sihang University would go to Zhou every day. He said that Ningning took him out to play, and that Secretary Xu couldn't take care of him if he wasn't at home, so Ms. Huo let them go.

When Secretary Xu came back, I heard that they had some minor opinions when they went out to play every three days, but Xu Sihang spoke with his grades. In the first three years of the final year, Secretary Xu let him go.

But at this moment, Secretary Xu remembered something, and it was a coincidence that Si Hang fell ill that year and said he wanted to go out to recuperate, so he left that night. The next day was Zhining's wedding. Secretary Xu didn't have time to wonder. The wedding was canceled on the second day, and the prepared money was not sent out, which is a coincidence.

Secretary Xu remembered this incident, and asked Si Hang with his hand on his chin, "Does Zhining have a girlfriend? He is already 30 years old. You said that when you left, the wedding between him and the bride was cancelled." Now, I still don’t know what’s going on.” Old Xu’s gossip was really a hit, quite accurate.

This question made Xu Sihang speechless. Could he tell him, "Dad, Ningning is with me. He won't marry a wife for me. It's me, your son." Xu Sihang nestled on the sofa and fell silent.

Seeing that the momentum had changed, Xu Siwei quickly walked over and stopped the conversation, "No, why are men in a hurry to get married? Look at me, I'm not in a hurry either!"

Ms. Huo listened to the gossip for a long time, and when she heard this was coming, she said softly to Wei Si, "Bah!"

"Hurry up and take back what you said, or you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Ms. Huo looked at Xu Siwei. The two sons are almost 30, and they haven't brought back a girlfriend so far. So proud, what's the point of showing off, you're a bachelor!Ms. Huo is going to be worried, her son looks so upright, why can't he find a girlfriend.

That's enough, Comrade Xu Siwei also fell silent.

Seeing that no one was talking, Ms. Huo took it on her own, "You guys don't know. Five years ago, Zhou's family was serious about wanting Zhining to marry a wife. At that time, Zhou's political commissar hadn't stepped down. Well, thinking of paving the way for the eldest daughter and second son, Quan used Zhining, who was a businessman, as a tool for marriage. It was a coincidence that at that time, Political Commissar Zhou had already made a baby marriage with himself, and that family was an ordinary person. Comparable, the daughter of that family couldn't move when she saw Zhi Ning, she clamored to marry him, and she made a final decision."

Si Hang was also silent after listening. At that time, he only thought it was absurd, but he didn't expect that what Zhou Zhining said was true.He is now sitting on pins and needles, asking the follow-up, "And then?"

"Then?" Ms. Huo glanced at him, "Then the morning of Zhining's wedding, her eyes turned red. I heard that she disappeared that night, and Zeze went to find him, and when he came back, he smashed everything The bride was about the same age as Si Hang at that time, and she just graduated from university, okay!" Ms. Huo clapped her hands, "I was scared to cry, and the wedding had to be abandoned. Who knew Zhi Ningfa, who has always been gentle and gentle, would be so With a big temper, I dare not offend him, for fear of offending this living Hades."

"Live Hades?" Si Hang frowned, looking at Ms. Huo.

Wei Si responded, "I know this. Zeze found it from the mountain. Zhining drove five or six hours to Lingshan outside the city. He sat there overnight and no one could find him. Him. Zeze located his car before finding the man, and when he went to pick him up, he was sitting on the top of the mountain halfway up, only one meter away from falling."

Secretary Xu was puzzled, "The Zhou family boy has someone he likes, and he hasn't told his family?"

Huo Yunqing answered, "I've never heard of this before, and my sister Zhou didn't mention it either."

This has become an unsolved case again, Xu Sihang and Xu Siwei are clear in his mind, Xu Sihang stretched himself, and excused himself by saying that he was a little tired and went back to his room first.When passing by Captain Si, he took a deep look at him.

Si Wei sighed, he knew that Si Hang was blaming him for not telling him the truth at that time.But what can he do, one is his younger brother, the other is his brother for many years.He shouldn't let them continue to entangle because of emotion and reason. After Si Hang came back, he was able to accept the reunion of the two of them, but when he thought that his younger brother would feel uncomfortable after knowing about those things, he kept hiding it from him.

Well, I kept it from him all the time, and the brothers kept silent, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of my own family in the end.Who would have known that they were talking about this matter today?He glanced at Secretary Xu with resentment, leaned against the door, looked up at the ceiling and sighed. He didn't understand why he, the bachelor, was the one who dealt with the aftermath and got hurt every time.
