those days

Ever since Su Siyuan went to Shenzhen in the summer, He Yuan and Su Qingyi have returned to their peaceful life as a couple.On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two went to Zhou Songmin's house for a reunion dinner after get off work.

Some things are inconvenient to say at the dinner table, Su Qingyi nags to He Yuan on the way home: "Just now I didn't have the nerve to tell Master Zhou the truth, Xiao Yuan didn't call me at all today, let alone ask them. gone."

"Didn't you fight?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, you don't even blink when you make up nonsense now, even I've been fooled."

"Otherwise, what should I do?" Su Qingyi looked helpless, "It's the 21st, and the last time he called me was in August. If I really say that, Master Zhou and the others don't have to worry."

"Then there's nothing to worry about. He's not a child anymore. He must be busy with things." Although He Yuan has always favored children more than Su Qingyi in life, he is more open-minded than him in other aspects. In high school, he paid less and less attention to him, and always felt that a young man didn't need to worry so much, so he persuaded him, "I just talked to Tang Shiqiu on the phone a few days ago, and he said that Xiao Yuan is doing well, so don't worry."

It's okay if you don't say this, but Su Qingyi's tone immediately became dissatisfied, and he glanced at He Yuan unreasonably: "He is fine, do you know who I saw when I went to the cafeteria for lunch today?"

"Who?"

"It's also..." The two of them turned into the building door after talking. Su Qingyi had just uttered two words when he saw that the door of the middle unit on the first floor was open, and there were a few chatting neighbors standing at the door, so he closed his mouth again and nodded. He said hello and continued to walk upstairs, and then continued after entering his own house, "It's also a coincidence, I met Yutong, and we chatted a little bit, she told me that Xiaoyuan would be on duty downstairs in her dormitory early in the morning. Call from the office, do you think he is really busy or pretending to be busy?"

His complaining tone made He Yuan quite dumbfounded: "Why do you think you are still jealous of your future daughter-in-law?"

"Who's jealous?" Su Qingyi went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare tea. She thought He Yuanchu was standing in the way, and when he heard him teasing herself, she pushed him unwillingly, "I'll just talk about this." , It’s fine if he doesn’t call me, but for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should ask Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, okay? Usually, I love him for nothing, and I’m just a white-eyed wolf.”

He Yuan moved away a little, and said with a smile: "The other day my master said that these parents are all low-spirited flesh and blood, I think you are similar, so you just talk to me and wait for Xiao Yuan to call later. You must not mention this."

"He's so beautiful." But all parents can't avoid this vulgarity, Su Qingyi agrees with He Yuan's words in his heart, but refuses to admit it, "In the future, if you don't care about him, you won't be able to think of us."

"Why do you think you are becoming more and more like a child as you get older?" He Yuan turned off the fire, poured boiling water into the teapot, carried it and walked to the living room with Su Qingyi, "If you want me to say that this Wednesday There is no holiday, I reckon he must have forgotten to celebrate the holiday today."

Su Qingyi sat on the sofa, shook her head and smiled, and said nothing else.After washing and lying down, I tossed and turned again, unable to fall asleep.He Yuan was in a daze, feeling that there was always movement around him, so he opened his eyes and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Qingyi lay flat in the darkness and sighed: "I can't sleep."

"what happened?"

"You said that I didn't feel it when Xiaoyuan jumped into the queue a few years ago, why is it so unaccustomed to go this time..." Su Qingyi paused, "Am I really old?"

When He Yuan heard this, he also woke up and took a nap. He simply turned on the desk lamp, propped himself up and leaned in front of Su Qingyi, and smiled nonchalantly: "Then let me take a good look to see if I'm old or not."

"To be serious, I'm getting tired again." Su Qingyi avoided him, sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

He Yuan also sat up, took Su Qingyi's hand, put it into his own, and said with emotion: "Look at this hand, it can't compare to when I was young."

"How many years has it been?" Su Qingyi tilted her head slightly, and leaned on He Yuan's shoulder.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.After being silent for a while, He Yuan said, "Do you still remember when I touched your hand for the first time?"

"Why don't you remember?" Su Qingyi groaned, "I will never forget it in my life, and I will pretend to have amnesia after touching it."

"Bringing that up again." He Yuan patted him unwillingly, "It wasn't that time, I was talking about the first time, the time you gave a lecture in our factory, I went to the auditorium to find my master, didn't you shake hands with me coming..."

"That time," Su Qingyi remembered, "That was really the first time. I remember that you didn't dare to look at me at that time, and kept staring at the bottom of your feet. I wondered why this little master was so shy. Shy, I found out later that it wasn't at all, you have thick skin."

He Yuan made him speak happily: "I was really embarrassed at that time, guess what happened? It was the first time I saw such a good-looking man, so I was embarrassed to raise my eyes."

"Why did you get embarrassed again later?" Su Qingyi turned her head and looked at him jokingly.

"Isn't that... I fell in love with you." He Yuan hugged Su Qingyi and put a belt on his head.

Su Qingyi glanced at him sideways: "Are you pretending to be ignorant all the time?"

"You really wronged me. At that time, I was really a little confused. I thought you were good-looking, and everything I said and did was muddle-headed, so I followed my first reaction..." After many years, He Yuan Zai recalled the situation back then with a lot of emotion, "In fact, the main reason is that I didn't think about the taste."

"Then how did you figure it out?" Su Qingyi heard him talk about this for the first time, and suddenly became interested, so she pressed on and asked.

He Yuan hesitated a little when he reached the point of his mouth: "If I tell you, you must laugh at me."

"It's not a joke." Su Qingyi assured.

"Come on, you always promise that." He Yuan squeezed his hand, "Forget it, you can laugh if you want, but there was a time when I had a dream, dreamed of you, and then...then what... "

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingyi burst out laughing: "I knew you could go astray in anything."

It's going to go back ten years. He Yuan, hearing him say this, would definitely tease him while pressing him down: "Where is it crooked? You don't want it? Huh? Do you want to?" night.Now that both of them are in their fifties, their interest in this aspect is naturally not that high. After hearing this, He Yuan just laughed along with him, and said in embarrassment: "Laughing twice is enough, it's not over yet. Who wasn't like this when he was young? You weren't?"

"Actually, I too..." Su Qingyi withdrew her smile, "I didn't dream about it at that time, I just thought of you..."

He Yuan was still waiting for the second half of the sentence, but Su Qingyi stopped talking. After a few seconds, He Yuan came to his senses and couldn't help but hug Su Qingyi even tighter: "I know how much you missed me back then. gone."

Su Qingyi looked embarrassed: "I'm already this age, how can I talk about this..."

"It's not very good, recalling the past." He Yuan turned his head and kissed him on the forehead, "It's rare to hear you say this." The two of them have been together for so many years, and this is the first time they have said these words honestly. It feels fresh and exciting.

Su Qingyi said: "Do you feel that these things are so far away and seem to have happened yesterday?"

He Yuan said "hmm": "When I first met you, I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be 30 years old. Now I'm almost [-]..." Speaking of this, I made a mistake and asked Su Qing Yi, "Do you see me seeing the youngest?"

Su Qingyi shook her head and smiled: "You don't even have white hair, how old are you?"

"You don't either."

"Who said no?" Su Qingyi couldn't help curling her lips when talking about this, "I saw several in the mirror that day, and I pulled them out all of a sudden."

He Yuan smiled and rubbed his hair: "From the day I met you, you paid so much attention to your image. It's better to be clean forever. At that time, I was still worrying about my master. What should I do? I'm not the same person. People definitely look down on me, but my master thought that I fell in love with someone's young lady, and persuaded me, saying that everyone is equal in the new society, so let me take the initiative."

"Yo, then I have to thank Master Zhou?"

"That's right, you can treat him to a drink some other day."

"You must be poor."

"Actually, without my master, I really wouldn't know you."

"It is."

"So I have to drink two cups."

"........."

He Yuan didn't pay attention to Su Qingyi's speechless expression, and continued: "We were just at that time, I felt like a dream all day long, and I always wondered when I was alone, just thinking about how many students in your school, you You should have something to say to them, why did you fall in love with me?"

It was the first time He Yuan uttered these inner thoughts. Although both of them knew it well at the beginning, they were still young at that time, and their understanding of each other was not deep enough. Such thoughts could not be uttered at the beginning of their relationship. of.Now that we have been together for so many years, no one can do without another, and when He Yuan talked about these things, the uneasiness of the past was gone, and he felt another kind of steadfastness.

Su Qingyi glanced at him, took his hand, rubbed the calluses on the palm of his hand, and said something that he didn't know if it was a love story: "There is no reason for love, who told me to like you the first time I saw you?" is you."

He Yuan smiled: "My wife is right, this is fate."

Su Qingyi was deeply impressed, thinking that fate is really a wonderful thing, a few people without any blood relationship formed a family of three generations by accident, and in the final analysis, these people were all gathered together because of He Yuan.

He Yuan also thought of something with him, and suddenly said with emotion: "Without you, without Xiao Yuan, without my master and wife, I would be alone now."

"Actually, if I hadn't..." Su Qingyi paused, but he didn't say the word divorce, "You might have a family and live a different life."

He Yuan shook his head: "I don't want that possibility. To be honest, I've thought about it. I'd rather be separated from you for a few more years than miss these later days."

"He Yuan..."

"Don't rush to be moved, I can't stop talking." He Yuan rarely said so much in his heart today, and he simply said to the end, "Actually, during the two years I didn't see you, I really retreated a bit. I didn't expect you to be sent down later. Well, I just had one thought—you have to be mine anyway.”

Su Qingyi was silent, He Yuan asked him: "Am I also quite selfish?"

Su Qingyi lowered her eyes and didn't answer. After a few seconds, she suddenly turned sideways and hugged He Yuan's waist. She leaned in front of him like that when she was young, and said in a muffled voice, "You can be more selfish."

He Yuan touched his back, and after pondering for a moment, he realized that he probably wanted to say: If you are more selfish, don't make me feel better, maybe I won't be able to register with Lin Wan, and I won't be able to create a Su Siyuan. .Although it seems that everyone is consummated now, and he has never regretted being a father, but if any step has not been taken well over the years or if anyone has made a fool of himself, everyone related to it will suffer for the rest of his life.

He Yuan said: "I remember my dad said before that as long as a person is alive, everything he encounters will not be in vain, so this is the best."

"Your father really doesn't look like he didn't go to school." Su Qingyi got up and sniffed.

He Yuan teased him: "What's the matter, do you think we working people are the most intelligent?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm also a working people." As Su Qingyi spoke, she patted He Yuan's hand away from being wrapped around her again, and lay down again.

"Hey you, you don't want me just after coaxing you."

"Sleep." Su Qingyi raised the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes contentedly.

He Yuan raised his hand to turn off the desk lamp, and then lay down.Soon, he heard Su Qingyi's breathing slow down, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: How old is it?She also knows how to play like a baby to herself in a roundabout way.
