Xiao Qi listened for a long while, and also knew that today is Uncle Xiao going to incense his wife and children. Today is the anniversary of his son's death and his wife's death.

Losing his wife and son in one day at the same time, this kind of pain will be crushed even by a hero.

While Xiao Qi felt sympathy for Uncle Xiao, he really admired him more. It's all like this, Uncle Xiao can still live to this day, if he changes to Xiao Qi...

Xiao Qi frowned and breathed, and the lid of the cup that was brought back by Uncle Xiao was rotated little by little, trying to switch to thinking about other things, and refused to imagine such a scene.

But when he refused to imagine the problem, he couldn't help but press it. Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and carefully observed the expression of Uncle Xiao.

The face, which was full of rigid and indifferent on weekdays, now has more softness with warmth, which may be because of the warmth that has been captured from the memories. "Uncle Xiao, I didn't expect you to be such a strong man, better than many strong young people, and better than me."

Xiao Shu was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Xiao Qi to say something like this.

In fact, it has been decades. This is the first time Uncle Xiao has heard someone say "sorrow" to him after knowing his story, instead of saying that he is great.

Uncle Xiao thought for a while and couldn't help but smile and nod, "Yeah, I didn't even find out if you didn't tell me. But ah, I just thought, if I am gone, who will remember them in the future? "

Yeah, who else? If a person leaves this world and even the last trace of existence is forgotten, is it very sad?

Uncle Xiao didn't think too much back then, and others didn't introduce him to women, but Uncle Xiao didn't want another woman in the family to occupy the position of his partner, nor did he want another child to replace his son.

In fact, Xiao Shu is far less powerful than Xiao Qi imagined. He is more afraid that if he has a new family, he will be unable to control his feelings and emotions.

When he became a person who had forgotten his past family, Uncle Xiao couldn't be sure whether he liked the change.

Of course, just like this, he doesn't like the changed self, and maybe the changed self will not like the previous self.

Humans seem to be able to dominate many things, such as the life and death of an ant at their feet, but they can't even dominate themselves. The passing years are the masters of everything.

These philosophical things in life were nothing more than the irrelevant thoughts of Uncle Xiao himself when he was numb in the dead of night, so naturally he would not share it with Xiao Qi, who was so happy that he could live a happy life.

In fact, Uncle Xiao also sincerely hopes that this stunned young man will not feel these messy "philosophies".

The rain outside the car gradually diminished, and Uncle Xiao patted his aching knee, "The rain is getting lighter, I'll go back by myself."

When I said that I had to pull the door, I just came from the cemetery before, and I felt cold from top to bottom from the inside to the outside. I saw Xiao Qi and him in this car that looked like a warm car, Uncle Xiao. Only momentarily got into the car in a daze.

After talking a lot, and drinking warm **** tea, Uncle Xiao felt better, as if he had put the old bones that had been thrown in a cold and humid place and covered them for many years in the sun for a while, warming his heart. It rises again a little bit.

Xiao Qi stretched his hand through the gap in the back of the chair and held it down, playing tricks to keep people from walking, "Uncle Xiao, you want to go down after you come up? It must be impossible, do you think I look like a good person?"

He pretended to be joking and said witty things, and when he finished speaking, he showed a smirk when Uncle Xiao looked over, but the smirk was not stretched, his grin was bared and his teeth turned into a silly smile, which looked funny.

Uncle Xiao couldn't help but smiled, "Why, you still want to rob?"

Xiao Qi smiled and looked at the time, "I met you today because of fate, uncle, it's the first time I called your uncle. Why should I go to my house to have a meal tonight? superior."

Uncle Xiao smiled and shook his head, waiting to say something, but Xiao Qi turned his head and saw that outside the car suddenly his eyes lit up, "Uncle Xiao, you are not allowed to run down by yourself. I will pick up my wife and come back right away."

After speaking, he drove the car door and ran up the steps of a lieutenant colonel.

Through the window of the car with a film, Uncle Xiao saw the young man who usually wandered around on the construction site, cursing and cursing and running up the steps, standing under the steps and smiling, reaching out and taking it from the shoulder of a beautiful girl. Bao, also grabbed the folder and notebook that the other party was holding and put it under the squeaky nest, lowered his head and put the other party's hand in the palm of his hand, which seemed to be helping people warm their hands.

Uncle Xiao let out a long sigh, and a smile that he didn't notice appeared on his face. To describe it in a more straightforward language, it was an "old father's smile", with the warmth of seeing beautiful things.

Uncle Xiao thought of a big dog with soft ears he had raised at the beginning. It was given by someone else and said that he could accompany him. Every time he saw him open the door, the big dog playing with bone toys came running over with such bright eyes. Look up at him.

But then the big dog died. Uncle Xiao spent money on the big dog and burned a jar of ashes. He also bought a cemetery for a lot of money. He buried him in a cemetery with his wife and son. Others quietly said that he spent so much money to bury him. A dog, his mind is old and confused.

Later, Uncle Xiao stopped raising a dog, and was ready to wait until life was no longer able to take care of himself, and his mind became unclear, so he arranged for the funeral...

"Uncle Xiao, this is my wife Ning Qian. You can call her Qianqian. This is Uncle Xiao. When the family yard of the rest house dug a water pipe, Uncle Xiao scolded me."

Speaking of this matter again, Xiao Qi smiled on his face, with a bit of emotion about the impermanence of fate.

Ning Qian is a gentle temper. For Xiao Qi's habit of talking nonsense in front of someone who is a little familiar, she can only turn her eyes and cast a helpless smile, "You are not careful when you scold you. Xiao, don't be surprised. ."

Uncle Xiao could still sneer when he saw a big man like Xiao Qi, but he softened his throat unconsciously to such a soft girl like Shang Ning Qian, as if he was afraid of scaring people, "It's okay, no Would mind."

As for Xiao Qi's temperament, Uncle Xiao has a little understanding today.

However, because of being a little cautious, Uncle Xiao didn't say anything too close.

Xiao Qi didn't feel the embarrassment of the atmosphere. He pulled the seat belt and started the car, and said to Ning Qian, "Uncle Xiao asked me to call him uncle. Have dinner at our house, and I'll send my uncle back when it's over..."

"...Supper is opened early. Elderly people like them are used to eat early and go to bed early. Xiao, what do you like to eat? Are there any restrictions? I will buy the vegetables back on the way later."

When he complained about the elderly, he didn't avoid the parties at all. After that, he calmly asked Uncle Xiao what he thought about dinner. Xiao Qi's calmness and closeness dilutes Uncle Xiao's uncomfortableness.

Ning Qian also found a safe distance to get along with Uncle Xiao. She would neither appear cold nor make the elder, who is obviously less cheerful and enthusiastic, feel uncomfortable.

On the way home is the night market snack street. Every evening, someone will set up a stall to sell vegetables, usually from the farmer’s market inside.

First, there is a large flow of people here, and second, the doors of the farmer’s market will be locked at 6 in the afternoon. In order to make more money, the small vendors always have to think about it, so they spontaneously converge into such a "vegetable market."

Today, Ning Qian was delayed for a while, and only left the school after five o'clock. It was mainly because the principal organized a meeting temporarily. The theme of the meeting was about Director Zhou.

Although the incident was not reported in the First Middle School, the school leaders were criticized by the Education Bureau, and they have been cracking down on it recently.

Meetings are held every week to do the ideological education work of teachers and school leaders. It is a rigid requirement. After that, each person must write a post-meeting report.

Ning Qian thought that they would not be so strict in the junior high school, but she didn't expect to notify them of the temporary meeting today.

After a toss, he came out after five o'clock. Fortunately, Xiao Qi chatted with Uncle Xiao and didn't feel that time flies too slowly.

After stopping the car on the side of the road, Xiao Qi and Ning Qian stopped and went to buy vegetables in front of the small stall.

You don’t need to buy meat, just take it out of the refrigerator and melt the ice.

In view of Xiao Qi’s dislike of meat and his frugality in life, Pei Qing simply went to a distant Meishan market to buy meat. Once he bought it, he would buy more. If he went home, three penalties would not be too much. Can eat well in the room for a while.

Being able to get meat from his mother-in-law without spending money makes Xiao Qi feel that he is having a great time now, so he said, aiming at the rabbit to marry home was indeed the most correct decision.

Ning Qian didn't know his beautiful thoughts, otherwise he had to close the door and not let him in, making it as if he was marrying her just to take advantage, and even a gentle woman would be angry.

Uncle Xiao also stood by the car and looked around, feeling the smoke and fire of ordinary life in bargaining. Not far away, Xiao Qi was talking about a lot for an extra handful of green onions. Uncle Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and put his hands in his pockets. Inside, he squinted his eyes and looked at passers-by who were dazzling or frowning in order to beg for life or smiling, and realized his "life philosophy".

At night, I didn't do anything big, just three meats, two vegetarians, and one soup. The weather was a bit cold. There was a patient with suspected physical weakness and a suspected cold at home, so I didn't make cold dishes.

Uncle Xiao originally thought that this dish was a bit too much, but when Xiao Qi was sure that they couldn't eat it anymore, he held the chopsticks and stuffed his belly bite by bite. Uncle Xiao knew that his thoughts were unnecessary.

"Uncle Xiao, if you have nothing to do, come out and walk more often. On my construction site, there is a lean monkey who likes acting the most. I will ask him to tell you a joke. "

"...I have a flower field on my grandfather's side, right next to the foot of Baoen Temple Mountain. If you are bored, call me and I will pick you up to see. Now there are no flowers, but I can talk to my grandpa, he I was also an intellectual in the past, but after I was farming, I especially loved to pull me to talk about the past..."

He couldn't stop his mouth even when he was eating. When he finished eating, he sat with Uncle Xiao and ate some fruit. Seeing that Uncle Xiao was tired, he didn't keep many people. He got up to greet Uncle Xiao, and drove Uncle Xiao back by himself.

On the way back, Uncle Xiao, who had closed his eyes and calmed his mind, suddenly said, "Xiao Qi, I am a lonely old man with no power and power. It's useless for you to flatter me like this."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Yes, I also found out, so I don't think I'm big or small to you anymore."

Uncle Xiao opened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Qi. He found that Xiao Qi hadn't really lied. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laughed. He raised his hand and patted his forehead in a daze. , With a hippy smile in front of me, I turned my head and said that I called me Old Man Xiao."

Xiao Qi also laughed, laughing unabashedly.

The author has something to say: Xiao Qi: I originally wanted to please you, looking at you pitifully, just pretend to please you without a purpose, and give you an illusion of warmth [pretend to be ruthless and unreasonable with a chin and two hands]

Uncle Xiao: Oh [nodding]

Uncle Cen: Oh? 【Hand in hand】

Boss Huo: em...

Xiaoqi: Hey Boss Huo, you went to the small theater by mistake, why are you here to join in the fun? [Waving to drive people]
