v4 Chapter 10: rhythm

How is grandpa's body? "

After dinner, Mother Zhang covered the part of the food left by Father Zhang, and then took out a sorbet from the refrigerator and collapsed on the sofa.

"Very good, you know his life habits are healthier than anyone else. He walks and exercises every day, grows flowers and plants, and he is still learning at his age." Zhang Heng finished pointing to the sorbet, "It's you, you are not pregnant. I should eat less cold ones."

"It's rare that your dad isn't here, so I will eat half of it, and I will give you the rest." Mother Zhang quickly opened the sorbet paper in her hand and licked it.

"I told my dad before that I should pick up Grandpa for a while."

"Ah, don't it, wouldn't it be that there are two people in this family taking care of me." Mother Zhang seemed to shudder at the tragic life afterwards.

"..."

"I'm just talking about it. Of course it would be nice if my dad is willing to come over, but this way, you are the only one in the country." Mother Zhang bit the popsicle, "There is one thing no one can do. Take care of it."

"I'm twenty years old, and there is still Aunt Han."

When Mother Zhang heard these words, the sorbet in her mouth suddenly stopped fragrant. She stared at Zhang Heng's eyes and frowned.

"how?"

"Do you and Han Lu often contact you? I heard Grandpa say that you used to go to Japan on vacation together."

"We are going to spend the vacation, but if we contact, it will be three or four times a semester."

Mother Zhang's expression relaxed a little, but she still said, "No, you should stay away from her a little bit in the future. I was careless before. I thought that woman would be scrupulous about the sisterhood of more than 20 years, but then she Thinking of it, she was never a good stubborn, and she would definitely get what she wanted. When I was studying abroad, to drive me to buy her her favorite cake, she could get up in the middle of the night and run naked to the balcony to blow herself alive. I have a cold to win my sympathy. I have never seen anyone who treats me so cruelly. Especially now that she has gone through the ups and downs of the shopping malls and made money again, she is probably even more inhumane..."

Zhang Heng didn't know what to say. The woman in front of him usually looks confused, but sometimes her instinct is terrible.

"Help me tell Han Lu to give up. I won't give her a chance to call my mother. Although it's cool to think about it this way, wouldn't there be three people in this family taking care of me?" He bit the popsicle in his hand again,

Zhang Heng didn't want to entangle on this issue any more, and changed the topic, "Are you and my dad still used to living here?"

"Of course, we have almost ran the world over the past few years, and my adaptability and survivability have also been ordered to max. Even if I were to be thrown on a desert island, I would be happy with the monkeys on the island. , The takeaway and express delivery here is not domestically convenient." Mother Zhang paused when she said, "In fact, your dad and I are considering stabilizing here."

"Stable? Are you planning to live here." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Well, my tutor recommended me to Maynooth University, but it's not a lecture, but administrative work. It is said to be quite leisurely. Basically, I only need to work a few hours a day. I can arrange the rest of the time freely."

"Sounds great, congratulations."

"No, it's not that fast yet," Mother Zhang waved her hand. "We are still discussing at the school, but if it passes, our next step is to buy a house near the school, and then your dad will also be able to accompany you in a different share. My job...you have two years to graduate, how about it? Are you interested in studying here? So that our family can be reunited, because of work, we left you in the country before, but in the blink of an eye you It's so big."

"I don't know, I haven't fully thought about the future yet." Zhang Heng said truthfully.

Now he didn't even understand who he was, how could he consider whether he should study abroad in two years.

"It's okay, you can think about it slowly. I didn't mean to force you. I just mentioned it when I think about it. Everything is based on your wishes. It is also good if you meet a girl you like and are willing to stay in the country for development. , When I was your age, every day I thought about comics and where to eat." Mother Zhang yawned as she spoke.

Probably because of pregnancy, she was more lethargic than usual, especially when she had just finished eating, her blood sugar increased and she was more likely to become sleepy, so Zhang mother handed half of the unfinished sorbet in her hand to Zhang Heng. She simply lay down completely, put her head on Zhang Heng's knee, and closed her eyes.

"Shall I take you back to sleep in the house?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Don't, I just squint for a while, it's nice."

"That's good." Zhang Heng moved his thigh a little and changed his posture to make Xiao Xia's pillow more comfortable. Originally thought that the latter would sleep like this, but he didn't expect Xiao Xia to speak again after a while," Why are you not talking, I want to hear your voice."

"What do you want to hear?"

"Just say anything, the girl you like, the troubles you have encountered while growing up, or simply talk about the singers you have followed, or the games you have played. If you have any doubts in your heart, you can ask me. I am also a person who has come here and have experienced puberty, well, although I am not a male... you should wait for your dad to come back and ask him about the physical impulse. UU reading "

"Really? I do wonder who I am sometimes recently."

"Are you studying philosophy?"

"Forget it, each of us came into this world with a certain... mission, right?"

"I don't think there is such a troublesome thing. You just need to live happily according to your own wishes."

"But, if, I mean if, one person discovers that his true will is not a good thing for others?"

"Is this what you are afraid of, worrying that deep down in your heart is actually a bad person? That's why I dare not face myself completely," Mother Zhang turned over and turned to lie on her side, muttering, her voice Gradually lower, it sounds like you might fall asleep at any time, "It's okay, then accept that you are a bad person."

"But what if it is the kind of bad guy who is so bad that it destroys the world?" Zhang Heng asked.

"So, let the world be destroyed," Xiaoxia said softly, "It doesn't matter, human history has experienced several mass extinctions. The murals carved in the cave and the myths of the ancestors recorded these stories. We finally All will survive. We can build civilization not because we are smarter than other species, but because we are tough enough."

"But I don't want to lose you, my father, grandpa, and my unborn sister, nor my friends."

"Stupid boy, you will not lose me, because no matter what you will become in the future, you will still be my son. No one can change this. That's enough... enough." Xiaoxia said to the last sentence, her voice finally Become unchecked, she just fell asleep peacefully.

Zhang Heng put his palm on her lower abdomen, feeling the strange rhythm from there, and he could feel that a new life was being conceived there.
