When you are busy, time passes like running water, and when it flows, it is gone.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shu Xia had the cheek to ask for two days off. Regardless of whether the salary was deducted or not, he planned to spend the New Year with Ji Xi. The first year is of great commemorative significance.

Mei Ting didn't call him, it's not that he didn't feel strange, he was just angry, if you don't hit him, then I won't hit him, very naive, but... in the bottom of his heart, he complained like angry why she didn't hit her?

29 He went to work in the morning, and when Ji Xi got up in the morning, he stayed in bed again. Shu Xia tried his best to wake him up for breakfast, let him go back to sleep, and he rode the bike out by himself. , planning to buy Mei Ting and the others something for the New Year at noon, as compensation for not being able to go home for the New Year, or to seek peace of mind.

Although Mei Ting didn't contact him, he felt as if he was crushing a stone.

Shu Xia pushed a big trolley around the supermarket, took whatever she saw, filled the whole trolley with food and drink.

The rival in love helped him scan the QR code to check out, and even teased him, "Doesn't this feel great?"

Shu Xia smiled, it was very cool, the cashier became the cashier, he took all the things in the cart up, and stuffed them into the bag after she finished scanning the code, and asked casually, "Aren't you going home for Chinese New Year?"

The rival in love sighed: "I thought I was you. How dare a regular worker disobey the boss's will? But it's pretty good, double the salary. Anyway, it's not just a casual meal when you go home, you're tired and sleepy. I can't eat much."

"Oh, actually, how much is it?" Shu Xia took out her phone and turned to the payment code.

"416, why are you buying so much? To give to relatives?" She scanned the code scanner on her phone, and hundreds of dollars were gone.

"Ah?" Shu Xia nodded as if she had come to her senses, "Well, almost, then I'm leaving, you...Happy New Year!"

"Well, Happy New Year!" The rival in love waved at him very friendly. In fact, she shouldn't be called that, but Shu Xia forgot her name, so she can only remember her with this impression.

He took the things out and tied them to the back seat of the car, and rode to the vegetable market. Looking at the streets full of people, he slightly regretted that he should have bought the vegetables first, but the car couldn't find a place to park, and there was a sea of ​​people inside, so he couldn't just take it easy. Find a place to stop, maybe his car and things are all gone when he comes back from shopping for groceries.

Sighing, he rode his bike to the intersection and stopped in front of a small cart selling cold dishes, both meat and vegetables, tasted good, and many people bought them.He waited in line for a while, bought some cold salad with meat and vegetables, and went to the bank to withdraw 500 yuan, which was regarded as compensation for not buying vegetables.

There are also more cars on the road during the Chinese New Year, especially the section out of the city, where there is a long queue. His skills have passed the inspection of Ji Xi, and he dodges left and right in the traffic. However, when there are many cars, he feels guilty, how far away can he be? How far.

Others saw how far away his car could be, and they were afraid that they would not be able to pay for it if they hit it.

It was easy to go out of the city, the way back changed a lot, a lot of lanterns and banners were hung up, all decorated to welcome the New Year, he was unusually calm, and even had the illusion that he was just going to a relative's house.

There was only a section of traffic jam on the road, usually only half an hour's drive away, but today it took almost five or ten minutes to get out of the encirclement.

When I arrived in Dawanzi, I almost didn't recognize that this is the place where I have lived for more than ten years.

Every household hangs lanterns and pastes Spring Festival couplets, and it is red at a glance.

The road up was not easy, and even Ji Xi couldn't grasp it well, let alone Shu Xia. The car almost turned into the vegetable garden, so scared that he immediately braked, suppressed the tension in his heart, and slowly rode the car to At the gate, he didn't go into the courtyard, because the path was too narrow, and he couldn't get in because of his lack of skills. If the fence scratched the car, it would be over.

The sound of the car drew Mei Ting out. She stood at the door and looked at her son whom she hadn't seen for nearly half a month. She was unfamiliar and couldn't recognize her.

Hair dye, ear studs, and a large down jacket with a few straps on top, overalls... I can't find the shadow of the past at all, but I look like his classmate.

Shu Xia could barely recognize her, she was very thin, her hair was messy, haggard and thin, she was wearing an outdated down jacket bought a few years ago, it was dry, washed many times and it was no longer warm, she stood at the door and looked at her stupidly. He is like a woman in the 40s and [-]s who was looking forward to her son's triumphant return but found that the son she was thinking about was very different from the woman in her memory.

The two looked at each other, Shu Xia didn't call her, and she didn't call him either.

Taking all the things off the car and carrying them in, seeing Mei Ting looking at him without blinking, Shu Xia pursed her lips, really not knowing what to say.

"Xiao Xia, you...how did you become like this?" Mei Ting was not sure if it was her son, with a complex expression on her face that he couldn't understand, unfamiliar, surprised, and blamed...

"What's wrong with me?" He responded lightly, carrying the things he bought into the living room.

The living room is still the same, with a strange smell, this time mixed with some medicine smell, Shu Xia took a look, there was a large bag of opened medicine on the wooden table where the teacup was placed, I don't know whose it was.

Mei Ting followed closely, looked at Shu Xia from head to toe, and from foot to head again, and questioned her in a shrill voice.

"Did you learn badly? Did your classmate lead you down? Look at you now, with dyed hair, earrings, and weird clothes. If you're good, don't learn, learn these?" Mei Ting pointed out. He was dressed in exotic clothes, and his curly hair was still dyed.

"You still ride a bike, do you have a driver's license? Ah? What if something happens? I haven't seen you for half a month, and you are like this. Are you lawless when no one cares about you?" She yelled in disbelief.

Shu Xia frowned irritably, glanced at Shu Daqing's room, he could see half of the bed, he didn't intend to go in, but turned to look at Mei Ting.

"What's wrong with me like this? Where is it blocking your eyes?" He threw the things on the ground, nonchalantly, "Where did I learn to be bad? Just dye my hair, and it's just learning to be bad?"

"You're a child, and you're still a student. Do you look like that?" Mei Ting pointed at him from head to toe and then from toe to head, "Look at you, do you look like a student?"

Shu Xia took a deep breath, took out the 500 yuan she had just withdrawn, and threw it on the table, "I don't want to quarrel with you today, these things are for you for the Chinese New Year, and if you didn't buy any food, you can use the money to buy it yourself, it's nothing I'm leaving."

"What do you mean? You don't even want your family anymore? You have to limit your rebellion. Look at you, where are you going tomorrow is the Chinese New Year?" Mei Ting looked at him angrily, "Your father is lying on the bed You don’t even take a look, do you want to go to heaven? Ah! You go out to learn something, you want to piss me off, don’t you?”

"Where am I angry with you? You'll be angry if you dye your hair. If I fall in love with you early, will you have to kill me?" Shu Xia yelled at her, "Also, I didn't rebel."

He was so angry that he turned around and left, his heart was full of anger, like a fireball about to burst, where did he fail?Still rebellious, in the end, all this is just rebellion in her eyes?

Does he have time to qualify for rebellion?Tired with no chance to catch your breath, where is the time to be rebellious?

"Shu Xia, stop!" Mei Ting yelled, "Are you in puppy love? What are you doing day by day? Still in puppy love, how old are you? You still have to run out after Chinese New Year, I'm exhausted For this family, for you, you treat me like this now, do you still have such a mother in your eyes, do you still have this family?"

Shu Xia turned and looked at her with impatience on her face, "What's wrong with my puppy love, you for me? Then what were you doing that day? Don't tell me it's my eyesight, I was wrong!"

After speaking, tears burst out of his eyes and flowed down uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and looked at Mei Ting's face. This problem haunted him like a nightmare. In the dream, he turned into a dragon with its mouth wide open to devour him at any time. .

"I apologized, but you didn't eat, what are you yelling at?" Mei Ting stared at him, and a lot of words popped out like marbles, "I am your mother, can I hurt you? Let me talk about you first." About puppy love, you are still a student, underage, and you still have puppy love, you think you can mess around if you study better, do you have the ability to be responsible? You have time to go to puppy love, but you don’t know how to go home to help, you still Do you want this home?"

"No, I don't want this home at all." Shu Xia gritted her teeth and shouted, is this home?Whose home is not a warm haven?As for him, this place is a paradise for him, with all kinds of horrible incidents happening every day, even in class, he has to worry about what happened all the time.

"Shu Xia, you bastard!" Mei Ting roared, shaking with anger.

She pointed at the door and shouted: "Get out, don't come back if you have the ability, I can't control you, just pretend I never gave birth to your son, get out!"

He wiped away his tears and nodded, "Okay, I'll get out, whoever comes back is the fucking grandson!" He turned around and went out, only to hear a few coughs from Shu Daqing.

"Shu Xia, you bastard! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given birth to you!" Mei Ting threw things angrily.

He walked straight away, and when he reached the gate of the fence, he couldn't help kicking the camellia flowerpot next to the chicken coop in anger. After flying high, he hit the ground with a bang, and the brightly blooming flowers poured out and mixed with the soil. He didn't have a delicate figure either, and he ignored the sound of smashing things behind him.

He got in the car, took out the key and started the ignition, but there was no response at all, even the fucking car wanted to bully him, Shu Xia cursed in a low voice: "Fuck it!" My palms are numb.

He wiped away his tears, continued to start the ignition, his eyes were blinded by tears after a while, and he gritted his teeth and cried softly, cursing: "Bastard!"

The car started after several ignitions. He wiped away his tears, stepped up the accelerator, and rushed down the potholed slope with a roar. The car shook like a meteorite falling on the uneven road, and it lost control and flew towards the established track. Face to face with the approaching car below, the screeching sound of brakes startled Yun Xiao, at that moment, Shu Xia thought she was going to die.

Ji Xi's smiling face flashed in his mind, he gritted his teeth and swayed in a direction, staggered the car, the body drifted in the middle of the road, and the inertia threw him on the road, drawing a trace.

After the head was dizzy, the pain spread all over the body, the pain had never been so painful, as if being crushed.

The pain was so painful that tears flooded uncontrollably, and cold sweat flowed out. Shu Xia lay on the ground hugging her knees, in excruciating pain.

"Hey, are you okay?" The owner of the car ran out of the car in a panic, looked at Shu Xia lying on the road, and was at a loss for a moment.

Enduring the pain, Shu Xia struggled to get up, looked at the knee that had wiped his trousers and was bleeding, the mud was mixed with blood, some pieces of flesh were turned over, and he wiped three cuts with his left hand, which might have been scratched on the road. Blood, and dust all over.

Fuck!

After standing still, he tried to move his leg, but it was painful and numb, but he was able to move. It may have been hit hard, but he didn't hurt the bone, and the abrasion was more serious.

Shu Xia glanced at the frightened driver, and bent slightly towards him: "I'm sorry, I scared you."

"I'm fine, let's go!" He waved his hand and moved his seat for the driver.

"Hey, it's really okay? You hit it first. I stepped on the brakes and didn't touch you. Don't blame me?" The driver of the car hurriedly waved his hand to shirk it.

The pain and irritability all over his body made him unable to suppress his anger, and he growled: "Are you fucking deaf, aren't you? I said it's okay, you go!"

"You... you... okay, don't rely on me! You let me go." The driver immediately ran back and drove away.

The motorcycle fell in the middle of the road, blocking the road, and several cars slowly moved past, looked at it curiously, and then gasped and left.

Shu Xia closed her eyes, cursed in a low voice, limped and walked over to lift the car vigorously, but luckily the car finally stopped and swung in a different direction, otherwise he would have died here today.

The surface of the car is not damaged, just scratched a few marks.

He pushed the car to the side of the road and leaned against the car to look at his leg. It was burning, and the pain came and went. The blood around the pants was wet, mixed with mud, and it looked very scary.He fumbled in his pocket, took out a pack of napkins and wiped it, almost crying out of pain.

Damn it, what a disaster!

If Ji Xi sees it, he will definitely be scolded, and maybe he will be beaten up.

The blood couldn't stop at all, and another piece came out after wiping.

Shu Xia took out one and folded it into a rectangular one, covered the wound with his trousers, then wiped off the blood on his hands, rubbed it on the ground, the dust penetrated into the flesh, and it couldn't be wiped clean.

Looking at the intact right hand and bracelet, water splashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "You are so lucky!"

He patted the dust off the clothes, but he couldn't get them off. Ji Xi took him to buy this clothes, saying that he had bad eyesight, so he helped him choose this black down jacket with a red logo.

Now it's ruined!

Every time I come back, I have to encounter troubles. It's really... bad feng shui, bad luck, bad character, bad skills...

After using up a pack of paper towels and bloody paper balls all over the floor, Shu Xia took a deep breath, endured the pain and climbed into the car, she couldn't stay here.

Although Mei Ting couldn't hear her yelling and cursing, everyone on the road would look at him. Shu Xia frowned and cursed inwardly: what to look at, what's interesting, isn't it just a lack of technique?

He started the car and endured the pain. He suppressed the anger in his heart and slowed down the speed. He couldn't lose his mind. The one who suffered was himself. Ji Xi would either cry to death or starve to death. If he died, who would take care of Ji Xi... …

The self-talk over and over again will not hurt so much.

There was a sea of ​​traffic, and there were many people looking at him, all of them curious, but he pretended not to notice.

He didn't dare to go back, fearing that Ji Xi would get angry, so he had to go to a small pharmacy to buy painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol and gauze, etc. necessary for abrasions, rejected the clerk's kindness, and rode to the playground.

The playground is not a holy place for entertainment, but a holy place for his healing.

Shu Xia was sitting on the slide to treat the wound, with a weasel at her feet, gnawing bread, mouthful, like eating a delicious meal.

"Let me tell you, I'm ashamed today." Shu Xia patted her leg and tore apart the alcohol and the cotton swab, "Look, I'm honored to be injured, and my skills are not strong enough. I must work hard in the future!"

"You too, if you don't find a girlfriend, you'll be old and you won't have...children to take care of you." Speaking of this, Shu Xia wiped the wound slowly in frustration, and the pain made him tremble all over when the alcohol touched the wound.

"I'm like you, I have no home, how pitiful is it?" He pursed his lips, feeling like a stray cat or dog, without a home.

"Do you think I picked it up? How did it become like this?"

The weasel continued to nibble on the bread, ignoring his words.

"You just know how to eat, just like someone else."

"Let me tell you, I found you a bully, a very handsome bully." He smiled and slowly cleaned the cut on his hand.

"The one you've seen is the one from last time, isn't it handsome!"

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, how do you say I cook with this hand?" Shu Xiaju looked at the three marks on his left hand, which became more ferocious after cleaning, like three ravines, "A good year will be ruined by me."

"How do you celebrate the New Year this year?" Shu Xia looked down at it sideways, and couldn't help touching its head, "Do you want to spend it with me?"

Seeing that the bread was gone, he tore open another one, and muttered in disgust, "You, eat so much, you bully say you will have diarrhea."

After bandaging his palms, he went to deal with his legs again, tearing off the paper towels that were stained with blood and flesh. The pain hit him, and he tore a hole in his trousers. The trousers he bought were only in pain! "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worn these pants. No, if I had known earlier, where would I have gone?"

He poured alcohol on it, almost experiencing a second torture, contorted his face, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, it hurts to death, I will never ride a bicycle again."

"In the future, you will ride with a bully, his skills are good."

Wrapped the gauze, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think? If you bully know, will you beat me up? I also broke his car."

Seeing that the weasel was engrossed in eating, he nodded his head, "You only know how to eat, it's useless!"

Weasel raised his eyes and looked at him ignorantly, then jumped into Shu Xia's arms.

"Hey, you really, you stink, do you know that?" He smiled tearfully and rubbed its furry back, neck, and belly, "Are you gaining weight?"

Squeeze its belly, "Look at this meat, it's time to lose weight!"

The phone ding-dong made his heart tighten in fright. He rubbed his furry head and sighed, "It's over, you sent a message here."

He took out his mobile phone and opened it as if he was on the battlefield.

Ji Xueba: Why haven't you come back, I'm going to starve to death!

"You Baba are just like you, you only know how to eat." Shu Xia nodded her head and replied.

Shu Xia: I'm a little busy today. I'm delivering goods. Can you go and eat by yourself?

"Ugh!"

Shu Xia and it looked at each other, and the phone ding-dong again, "Oh, here we go again."

Ji Xueba: No, I'll go find you.

Shu Xia swallowed in fright, looked into the weasel's eyes, "What do you think?"

Ji Xueba: Did you ride the bike away?

"It's over, the car is also broken, will you bully beat me up?"

Shu Xia: Well, I'm very busy here, you can find a restaurant to have a meal first, I'll go back later.

"Oh, to tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover up the first lie. It's really the truth!"

Ji Xueba: Really?Did you lie to me?

Shu Xia: No.

He smiled helplessly and plucked his soft hair a few times, "Tsk, why are you so domineering? You can guess that I lied to him."

Ji Xueba: You really are lying to me, tell me, where did you go?

fuck!

Shu Xia: Go to work!

Ji Xueba: Shu Xia, you really can't lie. If you are busy, you won't reply me a word. Look at you, are you busy?

"You are so domineering!"

Shu Xia resisted not saying a word, the weasel jumped down and continued to eat bread.

"This is the last one, I have to go after eating."

Ji Xueba: Don't think I'm busy if you don't reply.

"Do you think I will reply or not?" Shu Xia looked at her hands and legs, "Would he believe me when I told him that I fell on the way to deliver the goods?"

"Forget it, I don't want to lie anymore. It's very troublesome. If he finds out, I'll be so mad."

Shu Xia: I'll be right back, what do you want to eat?

Ji Xueba: You can do anything.

"Hey, it's hard to take care of me. I'm hurt and you don't stop. Eat quickly, I'm leaving."

Shu Xia: It's too late, let me bring you some back.

The next second, the call came.

"Damn it! Do you want to pick it up or not? If you don't pick it up, you will be finished, and if you pick it up, you will be finished."

He coughed twice, pressed the green button, and connected.

Shu Xia: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xi: "Where are you? Don't lie, you won't lie, I'll know it as soon as I hear it."

Cough!

Shu Xia: "Well...something happened, the playground."

Ji Xi: "What's the matter? Are you okay? What's the situation?"

Shu Xia: "Just... your car broke down, I..."

Ji Xi: "Fuck, Shu Xia, why the hell don't you go to the hospital? You wait for me, are you okay?" His voice was deafening, full of panic and worry, and Shu Xia The son didn't want to lie to him anymore.

He looks at the legs.

Shu Xia: "That...it's not a big problem, it's all right."

Ji Xi: "You fucking wait for me, I'm still not your boyfriend, why don't you tell me if you have something to do, do you think of me as your boyfriend?"

Shu Xia: "Yes, yes."

Ji Xi: "Stay well for me, you fucking...wait!"

After hanging up the phone, Shu Xia sighed, it's really self-inflicted!

"What should I do? He seems very angry, and I'm also very angry. What do you think should I do?" Shu Xia poked its back, a little lost.

He lay on the knee of his good right leg, looked at the carefree weasel, envied and envied him, and felt sorry for each other. They were all poor people who could not return home.

Ji Xi came as soon as he said it, and within 10 minutes, Shu Xia hadn't prepared her mind well, and was so frightened that she almost couldn't sit still. She saw him rushing over, with a dark face and messy hair, as if she hadn't taken care of it before. like.

Shu Xia thought it was nothing at first, but when she saw him, she couldn't help being sour and wanted to cry.

"You fucking court death!" Ji Xi climbed up the slide, looked at Shu Xia in a mess, was so angry that he didn't know what to do, and wanted to beat him up.

"How is it? Where is the injury?" He squatted down and looked at Shu Xia. His clothes were covered with dust, and there were a few scratches from friction. His hands were bandaged, and his left leg and knee were also wrapped.

"You fucking... Do you think you're a doctor? Why don't you go to the hospital when you're injured, why don't you call me?" He grabbed Shu Xia's collar and said through gritted teeth, "Are you an idiot?"

"I'm a fucking idiot!" Shu Xia held back tears, "I'm fucking unlucky, I was kicked out of the house, and I got into a car accident, why am I so unlucky today... Well-intentioned, and I was scolded, do you think I'm so unlucky? Yes, bastard, bastard..."

At the end, tears and snot all came out of my head.

"I'm not afraid of you worrying, bastard, I'm going to be scared to death..."

Cursing and venting, making trouble for no reason and making people feel pitiful, Ji Xi hugged him and patted his back in a funny way, and comforted him: "Okay, I just cursed, and you're here, I haven't been wronged yet! You put Am I a boyfriend?"

"If I didn't regard you as your boyfriend, who would be willing to cook for you every day? I'm not an idiot." Shu Xia sniffled and buried herself in Ji Xi's arms, tears and snot all over her nose.

"Take me as a boyfriend and don't tell me? Do you know what a boyfriend means?" Ji Xi rubbed his head, "Not only to play with you, but also to make trouble with you, you are sad, bad things happen time, I have to stand in front of you, do you understand?"

"I broke your car." Shu Xia said in a muffled voice.

fuck!

"Shu Xia, what do you think of yourself?" Ji Xi pushed him away, grabbed his collar, and gritted his teeth, "You are my boyfriend, and you cannot be replaced by other things. I'll be fine, do you fucking understand?"

Shu Xia pursed her lips, hugged his waist after a while, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Ji Xi sighed, hugged him, there was nothing he could do about it, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurt at first, but now it's gone." Shu Xia said.

"You shouldn't touch this car in the future. I'll pick you up when you go to and from get off work. Are you convinced?" Ji Xi asked.

How dare you refuse to accept it?Shu Xia nodded knowingly.

"Let's go to the hospital to deal with it. If there is a scar, I will whip you!" Ji Xi said viciously, stood up and saw the little thing eating bread at Shu Xia's feet.

Brownish-yellow, with a long neck and four short legs, it looks like a combination of a cat and a mouse. When Ji Xi looks at it, it also looks back with small round eyes.

"Uneasy good-hearted thing." Ji Xi scolded.

"Are you scolding it or scolding me?" Shu Xia raised her eyes and asked him.

"Both scolded." Ji Xi said, "Can you get up?"

"Yeah." Shu Xia nodded, stood up with the armrests on both sides, the pain was stinging but he could bear it, he pursed his lips and looked at Ji Xi's ugly face.

"It hurts, help me!" He said wisely.

Ji Xi squatted on the ground and stretched out his hand, "Come here, I'll carry you on my back."

"No need, I can go..." The words were stared away by Ji Xi, and he leaned on him with a guilty conscience.

When he got up, he subconsciously hugged Ji Xi's neck. It was the first time someone was carrying him. He was uncomfortable and a little afraid. Would he crush Ji Xi?

But obviously worried too much, Ji Xi carried his back very steadily, step by step, reassuring.

Shu Xia lay on his back, hugged his neck tightly, rubbed against his ear, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Xi, I was kicked out of the house, I have no home."

Ji Xi paused, then continued walking, and said softly, "Didn't I give you a key? Where is there no home?"

"Thank you." Shu Xia muffled.

"Where I am is your home." Ji Xi said.

When the weasel saw them leaving, Xiaoyuan looked at them for a while, turned around and ran away.
