When An Jiadong arrived home, his wife had not yet prepared lunch, and his daughter, who was in junior high school, was watching TV on the sofa."
Eh, Jiadong, are you back?
How can it be so fast?
”Xu Huazhi heard the sound of the door opening, held a shovel in his hand, walked out of the kitchen with a puzzled face, looked at An Jiadong who walked into the house, and asked curiously."
Hmm!"
An Jiadong's face was gloomy, and he snorted muttered, without squeaking.Xu Huazhi was stunned, raised her eyebrows and stared at the two boxes of wine and said, "This wine is a welfare?"
”"Hmm!"
An Jiadong walked towards his study and storage room with wine, still humming unhappily.Their family lives in the early years of the Lianshan Construction Company when the benefits were good, located in the Lianshan Construction Company's family courtyard, the house type is not bad, the area is acceptable, is a set of nearly 100 square meters of small three bedrooms, because the public share is very small, so the construction area is basically consistent with the use of area.The study is in the northwest corner, with an area of less than ten square meters, and a desk somewhat similar to the school desk is placed against the west wall, and a simple four-layer bookshelf is erected in the corner next to the door, and below the bookshelf is a double-door cabinet.There is a small window on the north wall of the study, and some boxed gifts are stacked on the wall near the window, An Jiadong holds two boxes of wine in both hands, presses the door lock of the study with his right elbow, and kicks it lightly with his right foot, and the door opens inward.Xu Huazhi was stunned in place, looking at An Jiadong and frowning after walking into the study, this man is a little abnormal!
An Jiadong bowed down and slowly put the two boxes of liquor on the ground, shook off his little arm that was a little numb, and stood in place looking at the two boxes of thirty-one degrees of Lianshan liquor in a daze."
What's wrong with you?
Family?
”I don't know when, Xu Huazhi came to the door of the study, leaned on the crimson door frame, frowned and said with concern.An Jiadong came back to his senses, turned his head to look at his wife at the door, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm thinking about things."
You hurry up and prepare the wine and food to go to the grave, I will go out to buy some burning paper and hanging whips, and I will go back to Zhujiagou to go to the grave in the afternoon. ”After a pause, he said thoughtfully: "Decorate me with the peach crisp and green calcium milk biscuits you bought, and I'll take them home to see my mother." ”Xu Huazhi's eyes widened, he froze in place, looked at An Jiadong in a daze for a while, and said, "Jiadong, are you okay?"
I haven't been back for so many years, why do you want to go back all of a sudden?
”An Jiadong's face suddenly turned ugly, and he stared at Xu Huazhi fiercely and shouted: "If you want to get it, you can get it quickly, why do you ask so much!"
Yes!
”Xu Huazhi was stunned, he had never seen such a hideous An Jiadong, and it was aimed at her, time seemed to freeze, frozen between the two, until their daughter came over."
What are you doing?
It's a little bit louder, I can't hear the TV clearly, it's annoying!
Hum!
”An Baoyan was about 1.5 meters tall, with a chubby face, some baby fat, round eyes, and glared at An Jiadong in the study with a puffed mouth, and turned back to the sofa.Because of her interruption, Xu Huazhi's tears that turned around twice in her eyes did not flow out after all, An Jiadong wrung his brows and looked at his wife's teary-eyed face, his heart was pinched together, and he closed his eyes in pain.After a moment of silence, he said in a slow tone: "I'm sorry, Huazhi, I encountered something in the company, and I was not in a good mood, I have to go back to the grave, as for why, I'll tell you when I come back, okay?"
”Xu Huazhi pursed her lips tightly, the traces of time on her round goose egg face were clearly visible, even so, she still had charm, she looked at An Jiadong for a while, nodded silently without replying, and turned to leave."
Alas!"
Seeing his wife's back disappear at the door of the study, An Jiadong let out a long sigh and sat down on the high-backed rosewood chair in front of the desk with a gloomy face.His eyes unconsciously fell on a tabletop frame placed on the desk, and the photos in the frame were taken by An Baoyan when she was six years old in the Luoshan Road photo studio, and now the photo studio has long since closed down.They were a family of three, An Jiadong and Xu Huazhi sat on the high-backed chairs, and An Baoyan sat on them, in the middle of the two, holding their arms and smiling sweetly.The background of the photo is a fake landscape painting with bright colors.An Jiadong looked at the photo frame with complicated eyes, stretched out his hands tremblingly, picked up the photo frame, pulled the cardboard behind it out of the card slot, and then another photo appeared between the group photo of their family of three and the cardboard.The photo was buttoned on the cardboard on the front, and An Jiadong gently rubbed the photo, slowly, gently turning it over.I saw that this was a black and white photo, the texture was still relatively new, and it looked like it should have been redeveloped.The background of the photograph is two gray, somewhat dilapidated wooden doors, the threshold is also gray, calf-high, and the doors are flanked by low courtyard walls, which are made of various irregularly shaped stones, and the stones are glued together by yellow mud.The wooden door is about two meters high and about one and a half meters wide.There are four people in the photo, judging from their faces, it should be a family of four, the two children are about seventeen or eighteen years old, they are all boys, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a pure and sunny smile.The two parents sat on the stool, smiling, the woman was wearing a black cardigan cotton gown, her back was slightly hunched, her two little feet were like three-inch golden lotus, she was wearing black cloth boat shoes, and her hair was wrapped in a black hair net.The man had high cheekbones, a full vestibule, eyes that were attentive but uncertain, a square face, thick lips, and a dark blue linen gown, also buttoned, looking ahead with a gentle smile.The two children stood behind them, both wearing gray-white broad-shouldered vests, grinning and smiling with big white teeth, and the height of the two of them was similar to the courtyard wall behind them.From the faces of these two children, you can vaguely see An Jiadong and An Jiaye, An Jiadong's face is a little sad, he looks at the black and white photo in his hand stupidly, and gently rubs his right hand against the man and woman sitting on the stool.His lips trembled, his teeth were clenched, and his father's appearance seemed to resurface in An Jiadong's mind, and the memories of the past came flooding back."
Woo!"
A low whimper came from his nose, tears running down his cheeks and dripping down his thighs."
It's time to eat!"
A soft shout came from outside the study, An Jiadong hurriedly stuffed the photo in his hand back as it was, raised his sleeve to wipe the tears on his face, and after calming down, he got up and walked out.Xu Huazhi, who was serving food to the dining table, quietly glanced at An Jiadong who walked out of the study, and after seeing that the other party looked much better, his heart was a little calmer, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he turned around and returned to the kitchen.An Jiadong washed his hands and sat at the dining table, looking at his wife who served food back and forth, with a complicated face.Xu Huazhi walked out of the kitchen again and caught a glimpse of An Baoyan, who was still nestled in the sofa and staring at the TV, frowned, "Yanzi, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”"Oh, right away, right away, let me finish this paragraph."
An Baoyan said without saying anything, watching the sequel to Journey to the West that was being broadcast on TV hungrily.Xu Huazhi's eyes widened, and she wanted to shout again, An Jiadong glanced at her, and said softly: "Let her see, don't worry about her, you come over to eat first." ”Xu Huazhi was stunned, and after he stopped talking, he silently walked to the dining table, sat down, took out a steamed bun from the steamer and handed it to An Jiadong, and said softly: "The wine and dishes used in the grave, the meat is ready-made, the meatballs are ready-made, the tofu is also available, and the fish will be cooked after eating, and it will be very fast." ”An Jiadong held the steamed bun in his hand, paused, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, don't worry, it's not even twelve o'clock, and I can't delay leaving at half past twelve." ”At this time, a melodious song floated out of the TV, "You carry the burden, I lead the horse."
Welcome the sunrise and send the sunset away.Step on the bumps and become a road.After fighting the hardships and dangers, we set off again, and set off again.Lala".An Baoyan looked excited, jumped to the dining table, took out a steamed bun from the steamer and nibbled on it."
Hey!
You kid, you haven't washed your hands yet" Xu Huazhi glared at An Baoyan with some annoyance, sighed, and reprimanded helplessly.An Jiadong smiled.
