Him and his two or three things

"To reassure some people."

He Zhang didn't say it too bluntly, but Teng Shengmiao understood, "Is it so important to make them feel at ease?"

"People are mortal. I have this disease. If I take good medicine, I can live for another three to five years at most. The extra time is actually limited."

"Can you tell me exactly why?"

He Zhang sighed softly, "People often say that the final conclusion is settled." After thinking for half a minute, as if choosing a better wording, he continued: "People always have to be punished for their mistakes. Punishment, uncle made mistakes when he was young, I can't tell you how many, you just need to know that only when the dust settles, everything will pass, and the Zhou family can get back on track."

"Can't they even wait for these years?"

"There are too many things that can happen in a few years, and no one wants to wait."

Teng Shengmiao held He Zhang's hand tightly, and slowly lowered his head. An unspeakable sadness rose from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to cry in front of He Zhang, and his head hurt from holding back.

"Don't tell Gu Jun."

"Yeah." Teng Shengmiao nodded holding back his tears.

He Zhang's condition stabilized a little near the New Year's Eve. He insisted on going home for the New Year's Eve. The whole family knew that this was probably the last year he could live, so they did not go against his wishes and picked him up from the hospital. go back.

Teng Shengmiao had to go to work on New Year's Eve, He Gujun went home to accompany his parents during the day, and returned to his home in the evening, but he opened the door and saw Teng's mother sitting in the living room making dumplings.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

"I'm idle at home, so I'm here to make some dumplings for you."

He Gujun hurriedly took off his coat, washed his hands and came over to help, "What is uncle doing at home?"

"Fuck his two fish, where's your dad? Are things stable these days?"

"Okay."

Mother Teng watched him and said, "Everyone has this day."

"I know."

In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, any consolation is like scratching an itch. Mama Teng, who is celebrating the Chinese New Year, does not want to make He Gu Jun sad, so she purposely finds a happy topic and says, "I heard from Sheng Miao that they are two girls."

"Yes."

"The due date is August?"

"Ah."

"August is good. By next year's Chinese New Year, I will be half a year old. It's easier to bring more."

"Auntie, I was thinking that one child will be born with the surname of Sheng Miao and the other with my surname. Do you think it's okay?"

Mother Teng froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, whatever."

He Gujun said again: "I bought a suite for my uncle and you. It's in the neighborhood next door. Now that the decoration is almost done, you can move here when the baby is born."

"Buy a house? Didn't Shengmiao tell you that we've already bought a house a few days ago, and we've paid the deposit."

He Gujun originally wanted to surprise Teng Shengmiao, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this, "Then can the deposit I paid be refunded? I paid the full amount here."

Mother Teng said: "You have to ask your uncle, he is the one to do it."

He Gujun said: "Return if you can, and forget it if you can't. I'll buy this set in the neighborhood next door. It will be more convenient when it's closer."

Mother Teng got up to wash her hands, "I'll call and ask."

Teng Shengmiao still had to be on duty during the Spring Festival, with only three days off in rotation. He went home to accompany his parents and walked away with relatives for two days, and then went to He Gujun's house to visit the two elders of the He family. Although they had met their parents, except for the two They are close relatives of the family. Others don't know their relationship. They are afraid that it will be difficult to introduce when colleagues and friends come to visit. They still stay at their parents' homes during the Spring Festival, and only go back to their own small home at night.Teng Shengmiao was fine, but He Gujun felt very depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

On the evening of the fifth day of the new year, the two families had a meal together. This was the first official meeting between the parents of the two sides. He Zhang ignored his family's objections and drank a small glass of white wine.After the meal, he happily went to the nearby tea room to sit for a while, but after all, he quickly became mentally weak during his illness, and everyone dispersed before nine o'clock, and came out of the tea room to congratulate Gu Jun and Teng Shengmiao to send their own gifts. Parents went home, and because it was late, both of them lived directly at their parents' house at night.

In the evening, He Gujun was lying on the bed looking through the vacation photos of a small island near the equator in his aunt's circle of friends when Teng Shengmiao called.

He Gujun was a little happy when he received a call from Teng Shengmiao at this time, "Are you still asleep?"

"I just heard from my mother that you bought them a house."

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I bought it, and the decoration has just been done." He Gujun pulled a pillow behind his back and sat up a little more.

"Why didn't you say it sooner?"

"I want to give you a surprise." Teng Shengmiao probably didn't want his parents to hear him on the phone, so he lowered his voice especially when he spoke, and it sounded gentle. He Gujun was a little annoyed. Followed him back to their own little home together.

"How much is the house and decoration?"

"what happened?"

Teng Shengmiao took it for granted, "I'll give you money."

"I gave it to my uncle and aunt, what money do you want!"

"That's okay, I'll pay you according to the listed price outside."

Hearing He Gujun's silence, Teng Shengmiao said again: "Tomorrow I have an early shift, so let's not talk about it."

After hanging up the phone for a long time, He Gujun took the phone away from his ear. He was not in the mood to look at Moments again, so he sighed, lay down and pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.

He and Teng Shengmiao have always been at a loss when it comes to money. When he was studying, his family imposed economic sanctions on him. The two of them spent almost all of their contacts with Teng Shengmiao's money. After graduation, they were together. He bought the house and the car. Bought it, Teng Shengmiao thought the car he bought was too ostentatious, so he bought a cheap one and drove it to and from work. He doesn’t usually stay at home, and Teng Shengmiao arranges everything at home. The two of them have never said that they want AA. What, he thought it was fine.Now he sincerely gave the house to his uncle and aunt, but Teng Shengmiao was so serious about counting the money for him, which made him feel that he was born.

The next day, the two of them didn't talk to each other all day. Teng Shengmiao called when he got off work in the afternoon and said that he was going back to his parents' house in the evening. A cousin was visiting relatives in City A, and he was going to have dinner with his aunt's family in the evening.

He Gujun felt a little reluctance in his heart. It was the New Year's Eve, everyone else was reunited, and the two of them spent less time together than usual, "You don't like that cousin of yours, come back early after dinner, I'm bored at home by myself."

"He's going to take the college entrance examination soon, and now he's too busy studying to bother people. Let me see, I'll go back when it's early."

After hanging up the phone, He Gujun was depressed for a long time. In the afternoon, he heard that Cen Sen had gone to his boyfriend’s hometown. As for Dazhou, the bar business was closed and he went on vacation with his Chinese teacher. Zheng Chen had a wife and son. It's even more of a harmonious family, and he is the only one who is alone.

Naturally, Teng Shengmiao didn't know about He Gujun's disappearance. In fact, he had a very boring year, because he had been working for more than two years, so no matter where he went, people would ask him if he had a date. Yunyun, he hated lying, but have to say.

The cousin he mentioned on the phone is his father's cousin who married out of town and usually has no time to come back. Only during the Spring Festival can we get together.When we were having dinner at night, when the conversation was rushing, my cousin asked with a smile, "Is Sheng Miao 26 this year?"

Teng Shengmiao had a premonition of what Cousin was going to say next, and gave a cautious "hmm".

"Have you talked about your girlfriend yet?"

Sure enough, before Teng Shengmiao could open his mouth, he saw his cousin sitting opposite turned his head to look at his mother with a strange expression. It seemed that his aunt stepped on him because he was afraid that his cousin would talk too much, or pinched him. Seeing his cousin's appearance, Teng Shengmiao couldn't help laughing, "No."

The aunt said, "It's too late for children to talk to each other now."

Biao Gu said: "That's true."

Seeing his cousin roll his eyes, Teng Shengmiao was very disapproving.

After sitting for a while after dinner, he was about to leave, but his cousin didn't know, so he asked, "Is Sheng Miao still on duty at night?"

Teng Shengmiao said vaguely: "Well, you can play a little longer." Then he saw his cousin rolled his eyes again.

Teng Shengmiao got out of the house and picked up the car. Not far away, he saw a person walking unsteadily in the middle of the road in front of him. He was about to honk his horn to remind him to make way, but he found that the person was Qiao Qiao.When he got closer, he found that Qiao Qiao seemed to be drunk and couldn't walk steadily, so he lowered the car window, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Qiao turned around and found that it was him, "It's you." After saying this, she staggered forward again.

It's not surprising for Chinese New Year to drink some wine, but if a girl is drunk and wears such little clothes and wanders around the neighborhood, even if there are no bad guys, she will freeze to death after a long time. Teng Shengmiao hesitated and pulled over the car , walked over and said, "I'll take you home."

"Go home? I don't have a home, I don't have a home anymore." Qiao Qiao said and walked forward.

Teng Shengmiao didn't know what happened, so he reached out and grabbed her arm, "What happened?"

"My father and my mother are divorced, and I won't listen to any persuasion."

Although he used to live here, Teng Shengmiao, a neighbor in the community, is not familiar with him. He doesn't know what's going on at Qiaoqiao's house. Considering the temperature outside the minus ten degrees, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to my house Sit down for a while."

Qiao Qiao shook off his hand, "I'm fine, I'll be fine when I sober up, leave me alone." She continued to sway around as she spoke.

"Then you can put on my coat." Teng Shengmiao took off his coat and handed it to Qiao Qiao, but Qiao Qiao refused to take it, so he had to put it on her body.

Qiao Qiao suddenly put her arms around him and burst into tears, "My mother has someone else in her heart. She was not able to be together by accident back then, so they liked to quarrel when I was a child. After so many years, I thought she finally resigned to her fate and was willing to live with my father. After all, they are so old, who knows that the spouse passed away years ago, and my mother started talking about the divorce with my father again." She cried until she was out of breath, and it took a long time to get over it, "My father really It's so pitiful."

Teng Shengmiao didn't know what to say, "Uncle still has you."

Tears and snot stuck to his chest, "Sorry." Qiao Qiao said and took a step back, "Thank you." Then she turned and ran away.

Returning home in the evening, He Gujun opened the door and saw Teng Shengmiao only wearing a woolen sweater, he asked strangely, "Where are your clothes?"

"Give it to someone else." Teng Shengmiao rubbed his hands and quickly entered the room. A window in the corridor outside was opened by someone, and the wind blew in from there and whistled, making it very cold.

"Who is it?"

"Qiao Qiao, you've seen her. Her parents are divorced. She drank alcohol and wandered around the neighborhood without wearing a coat. I asked her to go to my house, but she didn't go, so I had to give her the clothes."

Thinking of the overcoat that he bought for Teng Shengmiao, and that he must still be warm when he took it off, He Gujun felt a little sore, "Then why don't you give her the sweater too?"

Teng Shengmiao said speechlessly: "You have something wrong!"

"If you like generosity, be generous and thorough."

"I shouldn't have come back."

"Yes, you should stay and teach the little nurse. What are you doing when you come back?" He caught a glimpse of a stain on the neckline of Teng Shengmiao's woolen sweater. The light-colored sweater won't be stained even if it is stained with water. Without a trace, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Teng Shengmiao turned around and walked out.
