night.
The night sky is overwhelming.
Courtyard House In the bedroom, Dong Xuebin opened his eyes and realized that it was already dark. He yawned and touched his phone to check the time. Good guy, it's already past nine o'clock. Did you sleep from three o'clock in the afternoon to now? More than six hours? No wonder, Dong Xuebin couldn't sleep all day and night last night. He stretched out and quickly climbed out of bed. When he was putting on his shoes, he looked at the edge of the bed. Xie Huilan and the child didn't know where they were. None of them were there.
When I left the room, I found that the second bedroom opposite was dimly lit.
Dong Xuebin As soon as Dong Xuebin entered the door, he found Xie Huilan coaxing the child to sleep on the bed. The baby was lying happily with his eyes squinted. He hadn't fallen asleep yet, but it seemed he would soon. [
"Shh." Xie Huilan raised his finger to his mouth.
Dong Xuebin said, "It's already this time, why didn't you call me?"
Xie Huilan said, "Mom told you to sleep a little longer and leave the food for you."
Dong Xuebin blinked and said, "Then you are going to sleep? Why did you come to sleep in this room?"
"Mom was afraid of waking you up. She said you were too tired and needed to rest, so she wouldn't let us in. We, the two of us, had no choice but to come up here, haha." Xie Huilan looked at him and said, "Other people have a grandson, so how can they take care of their son? And the son is so big and thick, so there is no need to worry about it. The attention must be all on the grandson. It's good for our mother. After we have a grandson, I will think of you first, and everything else will come second."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "That's right, that's my biological mother. By the way, while the child is still asleep, you two should go to that room quickly. The lighting in this room is not good, and the mat is a bit hard. There is nothing underneath, so it will be uncomfortable to sleep on."
"I think so too." Xie Huilan hummed. I got up with the baby in my arms.
Dong Xuebin said, "Then I'll heat up the food first. Where's my mother? She's asleep too?"
Xie Huilan looked outside and said, "I heard the door just now. It seems like someone went out. I don't know."
"Going out? Why are you going out so late at night?" Dong Xuebin frowned, "Don't worry about it, I'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, Dong Xuebin went out shirtless, not even wearing a vest, and his slippers were on his feet. He grew up with Capital City alley. In the summer, it is a traditional activity here for gay men, young and old, to go shirtless in the alleyways. It's not working time now, we're not in our own county, and we're all members of our own family. Dong Xuebin has also put down a lot of unnecessary pretense, and this is the real him. Even if Dong Xuebin has reached this stage, even if he has reached the level he is today, deep down he is still the same kid who walked shirtless and wearing slippers in the alley more than ten years ago, even if Jining (armless) is naked, even if he is wearing a pull board. His eyes are always filled with pride.
Not in the courtyard.
I didn't see it in the alley outside.
Dong Xuebin had no choice but to come back and go to the kitchen to heat up the meal. Then he put the vegetables on the stone table under the tree and started eating, regardless of whether there were mosquitoes in the yard.
Squeak. The courtyard door opened.
Luan Xiaoping came in with a bag of things, "Huh? Are you up?"
Dong Xuebin swallowed what was in his mouth and said hurriedly, "What are you doing? Are you going out so late at night? If you have anything to do, just ask Hui Lan to run errands for you."
Luan Xiaoping said calmly, "How does she know what to buy?"
Dong Xuebin must have been a genius to see that there was actually a small pocket of paper money in the plastic bag. He was stunned for a moment, and after counting the days of today, he slapped his forehead in sudden realization. "I almost forgot! It's my dad's death anniversary tomorrow!"[
Luan Xiaoping looked at the north room and complained, "Keep your voice down, don't let your wife hear it."
"What are you afraid of?" Dong Xuebin said.
Luan Xiaoping said, "Today is a happy event for your two sons Hundred Days Banquet. Although your father's and your father's death anniversaries are not on the same day, they are close to each other. Your wife's family is a rich family and they may be very particular about it. I'm afraid they will be taboo, so after twelve o'clock, you and your mother can burn paper."
Dong Xuebin said with a sigh, "Look at you, Hui Lan, what is their family's particularity, and there are no taboos or taboos."
Luan Xiaoping said, "Speak a little lower, listen to me, you eat first."
After eating, Dong Xuebin went back to the house and took a look. Hui Lan and the child seemed to be asleep. Dong Xuebin didn't dare to make any sound, so he carefully closed the door and went out.
zero point.
Luan Xiaoping came out of the house, "Let's go."
Dong Xuebin had been waiting in the yard. He nodded when he heard this, and he and Mom walked out of the alley and found a place to squat at the intersection. Mom was tinkering with something, and Dong Xuebin was also helping. At this time, there are no people even in Houhai. The lively area is at the Bar Street end, not the residential area here.
"Old Dong, my son and I came to see you again. We were too busy the last few times and didn't tell you more. Your son is now promising. Guess what official he is? Haha, I guarantee you can't guess it." Luan Xiaoping burned the paper and said with a smile, "He has become County Party Secretary, Zhengchu Level, you always said that Old Sun would be angry with you when the classmates got together, isn't he also a Zhengke Level? He is already over fifty years old, but look at our son, he is already County Party Secretary at the age of twenty-seven. He is so promising. I heard that Old Sun was also Died of illness? If you meet him down there, you will be angry with him about this. He has been angry with you all his life, and we can't be polite anymore. Haha, there is something even happier. Didn't I tell you last time that our son married a very beautiful daughter-in-law? Our daughter-in-law has also been promoted. Now, what level do you think it is? Municipal Party Secretary, or Municipal Party Secretary in a prefecture-level city? is very capable of managing millions of people by himself, and now he has given us Dong Family a grandson named Dong Zhong, named after Xiao Bin. The child is very beautiful and looks like his mother. He will definitely be more promising than Xiao Bin when he grows up."
Dong Xuebin also burned a few handfuls of paper at this time, "Dad, I have been too busy in the past few years and I haven't paid attention to seeing you a few times. I don't always accompany my mother. I am not a filial son. Fortunately, my mother is now taken care of by Uncle Yang..." After speaking, he tilted his head and said, "Can I say Uncle Yang?"
Luan Xiaoping nodded, "I told your dad a long time ago. Your dad will be relieved to know that I have someone to take care of him. He has always been like this. As long as we two live well, everything will be fine with him." At this point, Mom's eye circles were red, tears came out as he spoke, and he sobbed. "That's... why did you leave so early? If your dad is still here, you can see his eldest grandson."
Suddenly, the voice of Xie Huilan came from behind, "Dad can see it now. I brought the child." (To be continued)
