Chapter 26

first day of the lunar year.

The custom of the Xie family is that after the new year, the younger generation takes turns to pay New Year's greetings at the elder's house. The old man Xie has a high seniority. On the first day of the new year's day, Xie Zun and Xie Jing take people to the next relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings.

It was early in the morning when Xie Ning was sent back by Zhuang Yan last night, and no one bothered him in the morning. Today, he slept until noon and woke up.

There were a lot of relatives and friends sitting in the living room. Some of them were familiar with each other, but some couldn't remember.

There are also a few children running up and down the stairs playing wildly. Thanks to the sound insulation of the house in the courtyard, Xie Ning can sleep safely until now.

The men seemed to have gone to the chess and card room, and the people in the living room were in groups.

Xie an, with a bitter face, is surrounded by a group of elders gossiping. From introducing his girlfriend to arranging a blind date, a group of aunts and aunts have begun to discuss the name of his future child with Su Jinyan.

Xie's reclining chair was moved to the side of the balcony, covered with a small blanket in the winter sun.

He closed his eyes and did not know whether he was asleep or was closing his eyes.

Xie Ning quietly walked over to say hello to Mr. Xie.

Just half way, he was stopped by Xia Wan: "Ning Ning."

Xia Wan and two or three wives of the same age were sitting at a small table on the balcony. When they saw Xie Ning coming out, they reached for him.

"This child, sleep till now." Xia Wan pretended to complain and said, "Ning Ning, this is your aunt sun and Aunt Liu."

Xie Ning was always clever in front of her elders and said hello. She was pulled by Xia Wan and sat down on the small stool beside her.

Xia Wan said with a smile, "I heard that the painting exhibition held in the art museum years ago was very powerful. Ning Ning, you are a student of art. Have you ever seen it?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "that time too busy, did not go."

Xie Ning had heard that the exhibition was held on Christmas Eve. At that time, he just received the poster manuscript of "the history of mountains and seas", so he couldn't find time to see it.

"That's a pity." Xia Wan said, "your aunt sun just went to see the paintings on display that day were very good. You like painting so much that you should go to see them."

Xie Ning laughed and didn't know how to answer.

He and Xia Wan have been indifferent for many years. They have not sat together in such a good way for a long time.

The new year's Eve, surrounded by elders, Xie Ning thought to follow them to say a word, quietly smile, also passed.

However, Xia Wan then said, "your aunt sun has also taken a fancy to a painting and wants to buy it. The painting is a girl. Aunt Sun said that she has a special temperament. She is only two years younger than you and is still studying in the Academy of fine arts. This time, she came to the exhibition with her teacher."

Mrs. sun next to her immediately said, "it's not that I exaggerate. That little girl's whole body temperament is not so good. It's not what ordinary people can raise. Maybe this is the characteristics of your artists. When I look at you today, I feel that you have a different aura from others."

She praised Xie Ning so much that Xia Wan's face was more happy.

Xie Ning understood what Xia Wan was going to do. He lowered his eyes and his expression became more and more condensed.

Xia Wan said with a smile, "aunt sun talked with the little girl when she bought the painting. She said she was from a scholarly family and had a good conversation. Don't you love painting too? Maybe you will have a common language with her. "

When Xie Ning didn't speak, Mrs. Sun said, "you are all young people. You should be able to talk to each other."

Aunt Wanrou and I should like to hear this one day See you? "

Xie Ning pursed his lips, and when Xia Wan couldn't help but make an appointment with Mrs. sun, he said coldly, "Mom."

Xia Wan was so called by him, and his expression was stiff.

Xie Ning's voice is not heavy, said slowly: "you want to see it, I will not stop, if you like it, recognize a daughter or something, I have no problem."

Xia Wan's expression suddenly became ugly: "what do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean, you don't know?" Xie Ning laughs at herself, looks at her for a while and then says, "you go to see by yourself, don't take me."

Xia Wan did not mention it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mrs. sun was busy trying to round up the scene: "if Xie Ning doesn't want to, that's not enough."

Xia Wan picked up a cup of tea, a mouthful of cold water into the throat, the brain just slightly calm down.

She couldn't help saying, "this big new year's day, you can't follow my heart to answer and two voices?"

Xie Ning looked at her quietly for a while and sneered in the bottom of her heart.

He used to think so. After all, he was his own mother. Even if he had no feelings, he could do it with face saving.

But Xia Wan's disposition is strong, is an inch to advance.

He didn't say a word today, but Xia Wan offered to meet him.

If he did, Xia Wan would invite the girl home some other day.

If he sees two sides more, Xia Wan may even be ready for his wedding.Some things he stepped back, that is, step by step.

During the four years when Xu Qing acted as a shield, Xia Wan tried to make him "on the right track".

Xie Ning doesn't want to be unhappy in the Spring Festival, but he doesn't want to continue to play the role of mother's kindness and filial piety here.

He stood up and said bluntly, "it's a small matter whether you see or not You know what I'm about, and I don't mind letting others know. "

Xia Wan was so angry with this sentence that his hands trembled: "you..."

Seeing that this side is about to quarrel, the old man Xie lying on the other side of the balcony suddenly opened his mouth: "Ning Ning."

Xie Laozi in the reclining chair, opened his eyes, called Xie Ning in the past: "rather come."

Mr. Xie didn't know whether he had just woken up or heard the news from them, so he came to the rescue.

Xie Ning secretly exhaled a breath, went to the old man's side, bent down and asked: "grandfather?"

Mr. Xie took his hand and sat up: "I want to go to the room and lie down for a while. I'd rather help me up."

When he helped him to the master's bedroom, Xie Ning saw that he didn't lie down. Instead, he looked at him with a smile. He knew that he had something to say to him.

Just now he and Xia Wan in the balcony of the dispute, Xie should have heard.

Xie Ning sighed in his heart.

But he didn't mention it at all. He asked with a smile, "I heard Xiao Zhong say that you went out in the middle of the night last night?"

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment.

"Well." He said, "I went out with my friends."

Xie squinted and said happily, "it's good. You're too boring. You should have more friends. It's too restrained for you young people to stay at home for the Spring Festival

He patted his hand again and asked, "what's up? Did you have a good time last night? "

Xie Ning showed a smile and whispered, "happy."

"Just be happy." Thank the old man son ha ha to smile two, "happy to go out to play more, don't accompany me this old man at home is stuffy."

Xie Ning gently exhaled a breath: "yes."

After chatting for two words, Xie was a little tired. Xie Ning helped him to the bed and lay down. He was about to leave, but he was stopped by him.

"After dinner, it's time to pay homage to your grandparents." "Don't forget to see the old man no matter how angry you are with your mother," he said

Xie Ning was silent for two seconds and nodded.

Xie Ning's grandparents were buried in Changle Cemetery outside the city. Both of them were professors and teachers. Many students came to the cemetery every Qingming Festival.

Xia Wan, their youngest daughter, was much loved.

Xu was in a bad mood. She was unusually reticent all the way. She didn't mention the little girl who was painting and didn't talk to him again.

However, Xie Ning was relieved, and he was lucky.

This is what he is familiar with and the way he gets along with Xia and WAN.

Changle mausoleum is close to mountains and rivers. It is said that countless masters have tested it before construction. The geomantic omen is excellent and the price is the highest in the local area. Ordinary people can't afford to buy a cemetery in Changle cemetery with their lifetime savings.

Today, the snow stopped, but the wind is still not small, hit the trees on the Cemetery Road, making a rustle sound.

If you come here in the middle of the night, it's really frightening.

Xie Ning followed Xie Jing and Xia Wan to worship his grandparents, and then went to a small tombstone next to the two old men to incense.

It was Uncle Xie Ning's mausoleum. His uncle died when he was in primary school. At that time, Xie Ning was too young and he was still in the south. If he hadn't come here once a year, I would hardly remember that he had an uncle.

Xie Ning's grandfather and grandmother had two children. It was said that his uncle had not been married when he died of illness. The old man's grief was excessive and his health was slowly getting worse.

After Xia Wan's memorial ceremony, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "go to the car and wait."

Xie Jing whispered, "Xia Wan..."

Xia Wan's face was calm. His emotion was inexplicable: "let me talk to my father, my mother and my brother alone."

Xie Jing also wanted to persuade her to look at her expression, and finally only sighed and took Xie Ning back to the car.

On the way, Xie Ning looked back and saw Xia Wan slowly squatting down and touching the name on the tombstone.

His heart tingled inexplicably.

Xie Jing said, "your mother and I will leave you one day."

Xie Ning:

Xie Jingwang looked to the hill with tombstones: "now we are all still here. We can talk about anything and solve any contradiction slowly. I just hope you don't wait until we're not here to start regretting. "

"Ning. Your mother's character is too stubborn, no one can persuade her to decide. I am indecisive. Maybe we are not good parents, but we hope your better heart will not change. "

Xie Jing touched his head: "so no matter what time, don't say let's treat us as relatives without you, your mother There are only a few left. "Xie Ning looked at him faintly for a while, finally nodded slowly.

When Xia Wan came back, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

When the car began to leave the cemetery, Xie Ning turned his head and his sight fell on the plaque of "Changle cemetery".

His eyes were cold and clear, as if he did not know what sadness and joy were.

He didn't know how to tell Xie Jing. In fact, he had been for a long time and could not feel the warmth of his family.

No matter how hard to feel, it is just that kind of light, as if separated from the world by a layer of confusion.

Deep thought, and faint pain.

……

In the evening, I went back to the courtyard.

Xie Ning looked at the two rabbit dolls lying side by side at the head of the bed, and his dull mood improved.

He was dazed, opened the wardrobe, was about to take the change of clothes, caught off guard and saw the black coat on the hanger.

It was yesterday that Zhuang Yanfei asked him to wear it back.

It seems that he has a soul in his heart. As soon as he thinks of Zhuang Yan's name, his mobile phone rings.

This time, Zhuang Yan made a direct video call.

Xie Ning Leng next, slowly place to accept.

Zhuang Yan's face appeared on the mobile phone screen: "Ning Ning?"

Xie Ning: "yes."

"I can't pick you up again today." Zhuang Yan sighed, "there are too many relatives in the family to leave."

"No need to I don't want to go out today either

Zhuang Yan leaned against the wall: "but it was not easy for me to find a clean place to talk to you."

Xie Ning: "if you have something to do, do it."

"It's OK." Zhuang Yan shook his head. "It's all relatives who are chatting. I'm tired of running and can't run away."

Xie Ning answered softly.

Zhuang Yan chuckled: "I shouldn't have bothered you at this time..."

Xie Ning thought he was afraid that he had something to do. He said, "I have nothing to do with it."

Zhuang Yan slowly raised the corner of his mouth and laughed.

"I miss you so much." He said in a low voice, "after only one day, I can't help but want to see you..."

Xie Ning:

When he said so plainly in such a low voice, shening's ears were red again.

Looking at him like this, Zhuang Yan's smile deepened and his voice became more and more gentle: "how about you?"

"I..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was too light, and he raised his voice and said, "I'll take a bath and I'll go to bed."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "did you go to bed so early?"

Xie Ning: "it's not early. You go to bed early. It was almost 2 o'clock when you got home yesterday. Did you sleep enough today? You don't have a cold

You are looking at me in a good mood

Xie Ning bit the corner of his lip and murmured in a low voice: "just Two words of concern. "

Zhuang Yan also gave a low smile: "how can I catch a cold when I have the blessing you gave me? And I'm in good health. Don't worry

Hearing this smile, Xie Ning's ears were crisp. After a long time, he said, "I, I'm going to take a bath."

Zhuang Yan: "Ning Ning, do you know that you are seducing people by saying such words at such a time?"

Xie Ning is at a loss: "ah?"

Zhuang Yan deliberately teased him: "what if I misunderstand you want to take a bath at the same time?"

“……” Schering, don't go too far. "I didn't mean that!"

Zhuang Yan looked at Xie Ning's desire to move his whole body out of the camera, and his heart felt as if there were feathers gliding by.

Before he could speak again, Xie Ning turned his head again and said with a red face, "don't say it."

Zhuang yantiao was enough and generously let him go: "OK, I won't say, I'll just look at you like this."

Xie Ning was caught off guard and thought of what he said just now: "taking a bath while taking a video". His face was even redder: "it's not good to see."

Zhuang Yan was surprised: "even if you don't want to see it, Ningning children are a little stingy recently."

Xie Ning:

Seeing that it was really late, Zhuang Yan was merciful and said, "I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."

Xie Ning blinked his eyes I know. "

I can't help but take it seriously every time.

"But there's a question you haven't answered yet." Zhuang Yan said.

Xie Ning thought for a long time, confused: "what problem?"

"I said I missed you." Zhuang Yan's voice was gentle, "what about you? Miss me

Xie Ning:

Zhuang Yan asked: "answer me, Ning Ning."

After a long time, Xie Ning said in a voice as fine as a mosquito's song Yes

The author has something to say: Ning Ning: why do you always appear when I am in a bad mood?

Zhuang Zhuang: because we have a good heart.

Do you have a list of the warmest hearts to attack?Can Zhuangzhuang be on the list?

This chapter was deleted once, revised for most of the day, and was updated late.

Bow and apologize.

In a word, I think there is a topic building in the review area, which is inexplicable, so I'll give you reassurance in advance.

[Ning Ning and Xu Qing had no real relationship. 】
