"Nine Nine Cold Plums" asked Aunt Cheng to fill in the last petal with a red pen. After the harsh winter passed, the sea ice gradually thawed, willows sprouted, and spring flowers bloomed.

After the bleak winter in the bar street, tables, chairs and gazebos have been re-arranged to welcome the prosperous spring and summer.

Fifteen days after the vernal equinox is Ching Ming, when the air is clear and the scenery is bright, and everything is visible.

Early in the morning, Luo Zhan first drove to the courtyard to pick up Aunt Cheng and Cheng Yu.He volunteered to accompany Cheng's father to sweep the grave, with a thick-skinned face, as a "godson".

Both Cheng Yu and Luo Zhan were dressed in black suits, white shirts, and black sunglasses, supporting the old lady from left to right.

Not far behind, there were Luan Xiaowu, Lai Bobo and several other younger brothers who came to show their filial piety, carrying liquor and snack boxes, like a majestic bodyguard group.

A group of people strode away and walked in the cemetery, attracting the eyes of the passing memorial guests. I really thought that some crew came to shoot a TV series, and the scene was so Doraemon!

In front of Uncle Cheng's tombstone, Aunt Cheng wiped her tears with a small handkerchief while whispering.

Cheng Yu and Luo Zhan stood not far away, eavesdropping with their ears open, but could not hear clearly.

Aunt Cheng said to her wife, "Cheng Jianguo, our son has been doing well recently. At the end of the year, the inspector gave out a merit award again. He ranks among the top in the assessment every year. The leader I like him very much. After the next year, I will definitely be promoted to the first level of superintendent. Maybe after a while, he can be made the captain of the criminal investigation team...

"Cheng Yu had a pretty good date at first, but it's not clear if the girl dumped him, or our son dumped him. Anyway, the grandson didn't get married, Cheng Jianguo, you just wait Two years... But this is not a big deal I want to talk to you about!

"During the Chinese New Year in our courtyard, it was very lively. Someone cooked for us. Old Cheng, I found a godson for you. This son is actually very kind, caring, filial, quick at work, and even walks with me. My son plays mahjong, he is better than his own son, and he has a special relationship with Cheng Yu. But...the relationship between the two is really good, so why does it feel more and more wrong?...

"I can't ask Ronaldinho some things, and I'm too embarrassed to ask Cheng Yu. Your old Cheng family is considered an intellectual for three generations, right? They are all honest and decent people? You said what if our son This whole mess is arousing people's discussion. If someone breaks it and takes it into a ditch, the old neighbors in the whole compound will watch, and the leaders in the unit will watch. What will Cheng Yu do in the future?

"The two of them are very close. You said I asked clearly. If not, I would have been thinking about it in a wrong way and made it very embarrassing. What if it was really that? Would Cheng Yu feel ashamed and unable to bear his self-esteem? I If the two of them are not allowed to be 'good' like that, what will Cheng Yu do if he really runs away with someone and won't come home? Uncle Hou's son is that, if he marries a beautiful wife, he shouldn't kiss his father. I don't think Cheng Yu will, I'm really afraid , if I disobey him, he won't recognize me as a mother in the future, how can I live alone, woo woo woo...

"It's the young man who bowed three times in front of you and presented a bunch of lilies and white chrysanthemums just now. Cheng Jianguo, please say something, what would you do if you were you?!..."

Aunt Cheng cried until her eyes were swollen, and she was speechless all the way back.

Cheng Yu asked carefully: "Mom, why did you just say you were crying while chatting with my dad?"

Aunt Cheng wiped her tears and muttered softly, "I blame your dad! Of the couple, the one who left early is the most irresponsible. How could Cheng Jianguo leave me with such a mess..."

Cheng Yu: "..."

After sending Aunt Cheng home and comforting her, Luo Zhan pulled Cheng Yu out: "Cheng Yu, come with brother to see our father!"

Uncle Luo's tomb is in a more upscale and beautiful cemetery in the suburbs.

Luo Zhan arrived with Cheng Yu, his elder brother and sister-in-law were already waiting.

A group of people bowed and presented flowers in front of Father Luo's white marble tombstone.

Cheng Yu saw Luo Zhan knelt down to his father with a "plop" and kowtowed three times on the stone steps, his eyes were red.His elder brother helped him up, leaned closer and whispered a few words of persuasion, Luo Zhan sniffed hard, and said "um".

Luo Yong, the boss of the Luo family, was very different from Luo Zhan. Cheng Yu secretly watched him several times out of professional habits.The two brothers have similar eyebrows and eyes, both with thick eyebrows and big eyes in a rough style, but their temperaments are completely different.

Luo Yong is also wearing a suit, and the small details of the shirt, belt and shoes clearly reveal a certain simplicity and simplicity of his rural background in the suburbs.Brother Luo was busy all the way, he was the one who moved things, and he was the one who consulted with the cemetery administrator, but he bowed and kowtowed but hid behind, leaving Luo Xiaosan all the showy things.

Luo Zhan himself has self-reflected, his elder brother is the most honest and responsible person.But it’s like this when there are too many children in the family. Only the one who can cry will have milk. Luo Zhan is the most irritated and can make trouble, so Luo’s father loves his youngest son the most.

Luo Yong stood under the shade of the tree, handed Cheng Yu a cigarette, bowed his head and nodded, his expression still showed the innate sense of humbleness and humbleness that ordinary people have when they see officials and policemen. Be careful.

Cheng Yu remembered that when he was lying in the hospital in critical condition and had two blood transfusions from Luo Yong, the other party was a timely help, so he exchanged polite greetings.

Luo Yong said gratefully: "Officer Cheng, the three of us have improved and become good people now, please take care of him and help him more!"

Cheng Yu nodded: "That's for sure."

Luo Yong lowered his eyes and smiled, a little embarrassed: "Officer Cheng, when our third son came out, he almost got into a fight with me and made trouble with me."

Cheng Yu frowned: "What's wrong? What is Luo Zhan doing with you?"

Luo Yong said: "I threw away the things he asked me to save for him, and he was in a hurry with me."

Cheng Yu: "What?"

Luo Yong lowered his eyes and smiled: "The night when your accident happened, he ran home and handed me a paper package. I opened it and found that there were candy rolls and squeaky boxes inside...they were all stained with blood. I can’t even eat it, but I can’t even look at it. Later, it’s true, if I leave it alone, it will grow green hair. I have no choice but to throw it away! I thought, isn’t it just two packs of snacks, I can make it, and he can do it by himself I will do it too..."

Cheng Yu opened his mouth slightly and listened in a daze.

Luo Yong said: "I thought to myself, San'er, you will be in prison for eight years, and I can keep this thing for you for eight years, before it all grows into charcoal balls. I didn't expect that kid to be so serious. He was so anxious and unhappy that he quarreled with me. He said, Officer Cheng can’t be found now, and I don’t even know where you are. I threw this package at him, and I threw it away. Throw 'Officer Cheng' to him!..."

"Luo Zhan is a man who is very messy sometimes, so don't talk to him..." Cheng Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Luo Yong glanced at Luo Zhan who was sitting in the distance, shook his head and sighed, with deep helplessness and tolerance in his smile.

Cheng Yu was also very embarrassed, his cheeks were hot, his ears were slightly red, and the sour, sweet, bitter taste in his heart was not to be mentioned.

His eyes moved slowly to the thick green cypress forest, the dense needles were whirling in the sunlight, and the light and shadow were full of deep memories...

In the memory, the distant mountain was painted with the color of blood, it was all his blood, his heart!On the line between life and death, weeping eyes meet in the unforgettable embrace, that is the constant entanglement that he and Luo Zhan will never get rid of in this life...

The boss of the Luo family didn't say a word of nonsense, and he didn't even ask, hey, Officer Cheng, why did you come to visit my dad's grave?Who are you and what are you doing?

It seems that there is no need to ask or explain anything between each other. Standing together is like being a family for a long time, five years...

Luo Zhan was sitting in front of the white jade stele, a ray of mild spring sunlight cast a half-bright and half-dark floating shadow on this man's face, with a solemn expression.

There is a bottle of Erguotou, a plate of candied ears, and a plate of kidney bean cakes in front of the monument to Papa Luo.The small black and white portrait is smiling in the white chrysanthemum bushes, with kind and kind eyebrows and eyes.

Luo Zhan was chatting with his father, when he saw Cheng Yu coming, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled Cheng Yu to sit down as well.

"Dad, I'll bring you someone today, Police Officer Cheng, Cheng Yu, look, do you like it?" Luo Zhan didn't forget to be sarcastic, "Do you like it? Officer Cheng is cute, you How can I not like it!"

Cheng Yu sat silently without speaking, and heard Luo Zhan say again: "Dad, I have changed my mind now, I am a new man, and I will stop messing around. Seriously, Officer Cheng can testify for me!

"Furthermore, San'er now has a family and a mother, but she loves me! I also have a good wife who treats me very well. Officer Cheng is my wife. You didn't expect that, haha, look at me. This is how your life will go, okay?"

Cheng Yu subconsciously glared at Luo Zhan.But with Uncle Luo staring in front of him, at such a solemn moment, he couldn't pick up Luo Zhan's collar and shake it and say, obviously you are my wife!

Luo Zhan met Cheng Yu's white eyes shamelessly, with the joy of success in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Dad, I'm not like the one who used to tease cats and dogs. I don't dare, Cheng Yu cares." Look at me! Daughter-in-law loves me the most, right? "

Luo Zhan squeezed Cheng Yu's hand while talking, but Cheng Yu ignored him.

Luo Zhan pointed it out to Cheng Yu again: "My dad used to make candy ears and kidney bean cakes, and he made them really well. Would you like to try them?"

Luo Zhan pinched a small piece of kidney bean cake and fed it to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu shook his head and refused to eat.

Luo Zhan said: "Try it, I made these plates of dim sum today, I'm not as delicious as my dad's, so I can make do with it."

Cheng Yu chewed slowly and savored silently: "Well, your cooking is indeed not as delicious as your father's."

Luo Zhan snorted: "You have never tasted what our old man made!"

The floating light in Cheng Yu's eyes turned into an unusually beautiful color, and he looked deeply at Luo Zhan, as if he wanted to draw Luo Zhan's shadow into the vortex of his pupils and engrave it in his heart.

Cheng Yu suddenly said softly at that time: "Luo Zhan, I want to say something to your old man."

Luo Zhan: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Yu took out a square box from his carry bag, and solemnly placed it in front of Luo's father's tombstone.

The kraft paper was opened layer by layer, and inside was a dilapidated chess box, so broken that if you lifted it lightly, the box lid would be blown to pieces by a small wind.

Cheng Yu gently unfolded the folded paper chessboard with great care, spread it out, and pressed the four corners.The original bright red Chuhe-Han boundary has been tempered by time, the color is slightly mottled, and the lines are still faintly discernible.

Cheng Yu glanced at Luo Zhan, his eyes flushed.He had wanted to tell Luo Zhan about this a long time ago, but he never found a chance to speak.He is not as careless as Luo Zhan, who likes to be poor, he just likes to keep things in his heart.

"Luo Zhan, when my father was alive, he went out to play chess every evening. He carried a small horse and this chess box. Every night, he went to the Flower and Bird Market in Qianhai to find his old chess friend and play five or six games. , it was dark before going home...

"At that time, staff competitions were held every year in their library. My dad was either first or second, so he usually liked to find someone to play chess with, to show off his high level... He always beat others, but every time he didn't To win a bag of crispy dates is to win a plate of candy ears, and I don’t want to eat all the good things, so I bring them back to my mother and me.”

Luo Zhan was stunned and stupid.

He stared blankly at Cheng Yu, and that moment seemed like a lifetime away, as if he was in a cloud.

"There is also kidney bean cake. The kidney bean cake made by his old chess friend is the best. Every time, my dad would steal two pieces first. He thought it was delicious, and then quickly brought it back for me to eat. I love it too, so Arguing for more... My dad went to tell people the next day that we will kill five more games today, three out of five games, no regrets, whoever loses will make kidney bean cakes!

Cheng Yu's voice seemed to flow from his chest. At that moment, within 800 meters of the entire cemetery, the trees were still and the wind was still, the birds were sleeping and the flowers were sleeping, everything fell into silence, and only two quiet and motionless flowers were seen. His figure was shrouded in the warm golden sunlight.

"Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu..." Luo Zhan's voice was choked up and he couldn't speak.

"Luo Zhan, I, I actually owe your father an explanation."

Cheng Yu looked at the small photo of Luo's father and said, "That spring, my father got lung disease. When he went to the hospital, he was delayed and turned into cancer. He stayed in the hospital for half a year, and he never went to the moat again. So at that time, I left your old man there, I am very sorry...

"My dad actually didn't forget you. He told me while lying on the hospital bed. Cheng Yu, you have to go there. Go and see if my chess friend is still waiting for me. He lost again last time. This time If a person doesn't give up after losing chess, he must have gone to make food for me again, and he will come back to play five games again, so go and tell him, don't let him wait any longer..."

Cheng Yu said with red eyes: "But I was lazy at that time, and I was thinking about why my father's illness is still not good, children don't understand, so I didn't obey...

"I'm here today to apologize to you. I brought you all the chess pieces. My father and you didn't finish the game of chess. I will play a game of chess with you for him..."

The solid wood chess pieces of the old-fashioned chess are heavy, and when touched in the palm of the hand, it is a warm touch that makes people linger.Cheng Yu laid out the chess pieces in an orderly manner, holding the red first, seven pawns advanced to one, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't play well, the chess is very smelly, my father, don't laugh at me."

Luo Zhan raised his cuffs and wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely. His eyes were still wet. A smile burst out from the corner of his mouth. He bit his lips and took a deep look at Cheng Yu. He picked up the black chess piece for his father, and without thinking, he shot 8 flat 4.

Cheng Yuma two into three!

Luo Zhanma 8 into 7!

Cheng Yu gets in the car again!

Luo Zhan strikes again!

The level of two people playing chess is half a bottle of vinegar.Luo Zhan is awesome at playing poker and mahjong, and Cheng Yu is also good at playing games with his mobile phone, but he can't even play chess, he has no rules and is full of loopholes!

Cheng Yu couldn't help covering his face and laughing, Luo Zhan scratched his head heck, the chariots and horses quickly ate up each other, leaving only a few pawns and a lonely old man, a group of pawns chasing and killing each other all over the chessboard !

Luo Zhan commanded two pawns to jump across the Chuhe-Han boundary, chasing after the handsome guy who bit Cheng Yu, and they wouldn't let up if they bit him.

The two bite while hiding, and the last pawn between the generals facing each other across the bank was taken away.

Cheng Yu pushed Luo Zhan and shouted: "You fouled, fouled! I'll checkmate you to death!"

Luo Zhan groaned: "What, what do you mean by 'face-to-face'? I don't understand that set of rules!"

Cheng Yu hit him with a chess piece: "You lost, you lost again!... Make me a kidney bean cake!"

The glowing red chessboard paper rustled slightly in the wind, like an echo of the throbbing heart.

Luo Zhan threw away the chess pieces, hugged Cheng Yu, and buried his face in Cheng Yu's arms.

Wet things poured out, soaked through Cheng Yu's shirt, and wet his chest.

Luo Zhan burst into tears, biting Cheng Yu's clothes, trying to suppress his crying.

"Cheng Yu, I feel very sorry for my father, it would be great if my father was alive...

"Cheng Yu, why are you so nice to me? You, Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu..."

Cheng Yu didn't hold back, and slowly wrapped his arms around Luo Zhan's back, caressing Luo Zhan's head and neck, and hugged him tightly...

After that night, Luo Zhan kept holding Cheng Yu and did not let go, just like a child who wanted to suckle. He gnawed Cheng Yu's neck, gnawed Cheng Yu's chest, and wiped his regretful snot and tears all over Cheng Yu's body.

"Okay, you've been making trouble all day, stop it..." Cheng Yu couldn't bear to push this person away.

"I'll make a fuss, so let's make a fuss!" Luo Zhan scratched Cheng Yu's neck with his bristly hair.

When he was with Cheng Yu, it felt completely different from when he was with those Pangjia children before.

In the past, he was the boss, and he was the "gold master". There were five people and six people, holding airs and throwing a lot of money.

Now he is nothing but an ordinary man, and Cheng Yu is his precious wife.In front of his daughter-in-law, he can act coquettishly and roll around at will, making fools of himself.Anyway, he knew that Cheng Yu was pampering him, so he wouldn't be in a hurry with him.

Luo Zhan persisted: "Cheng Yu, why didn't you say it earlier? Why did you wait until today!"

Cheng Yu hummed: "I told you earlier, what can you do?"

Luo Zhan looked angry and pointed to the sky: "Why didn't you look for my father, why didn't you come to my house to look for me, why didn't we know each other earlier?! We knew each other earlier, I have been with you since I was a child , don’t go out and fool around!”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes at him: "Are you fooling around with me?"

Luo Zhan said unreasonably: "It's up to you! Who told you to ignore me at that time and let me go out and fool around? I'm just a child with no mother, no one loves me!"

Luo Zhan rolled over and over under the quilt, like a big lazy bug, sloppy.

Cheng Yu pulled Luo Zhan's hair, pinched his nose, pulled his face again, and laughed.

Luo Zhan snorted: "You're still pulling my face! Hey, tell me, how good we have been together since we were young, and we can also be a bamboo horse! You are fourteen, I am seventeen, what a pure couple! ..."

Cheng Yu's eyes were dark, and he suddenly kissed Luo Zhan's forehead, his mind was in a trance, and he muttered in a low voice: "Do you want to do that..."

Luo Zhante lay down on the pillow aggrieved: "What are you doing? Don't do it! My dad is looking at me from the ceiling, complaining about me, and doing nothing, huh!"

It was two that night for Luo Zhan, and it was the second day of the festival.

He didn't understand what Cheng Yu said to him, "Do you want to do that", implying that he was hungry, thirsty, suppressed and endured for many years an invitation that he hadn't expected. …
