Chapter 21 He is Shi Yu, An Shi talks about why Shi Yu appears...
An Huaixu was hugged by Shi Yun who was in a panic and pressed against the wall.
He seemed to have not expected that Shi Yun could break free from his shackles. He suddenly hit him hard, groaning in pain, and was a little dazed.
The darkness stretched the time infinitely. In the silent stillness, the howling wind brought something again, which slammed against the cellar door, making another 'bang' sound.
Shi Yun's face changed suddenly and he quickly moved closer, completely taking away the last bit of distance between them.
The tender and charming atmosphere at this moment was fermenting, which weighed heavily on An Huaixu's tense nerves.
An Huaixu felt as if there was no good place on his body——
The back of his head hurt from the collision, his nostrils were filled with the thick scent of grass, his ears were buzzing with the sound of rapid and panicked breathing, and irregular streams of warmth sprayed on his neck, igniting a burning sensation, spreading all the way down to his waist, and finally stopping on a pair of hands that were wrapped around him and trembling slightly.
He moved his fingers stiffly, slowly recovered, turned his eyes that were gradually adapting to the darkness, and looked at Shi Yun.
Shi Yun hid half of his face in his neck, his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were nervously pressed into a straight line, and the fear that was about to burst out was obviously not fake.
An Huaixu's gaze moved, and his expression gradually changed from scrutinizing to something meaningful.
Shi Yun is not short, and he doesn’t look weak at all. But when I held him in his arms, he turned out to be much thinner than I imagined.
He has an arched back and a long, slender neck that is very soft and beautiful, which makes people feel an indescribable desire for violence.
An Huaixu once stared at him darkly and thought that if this man dared to really lie to him, he would definitely break his neck without mercy.
Thinking about it now, if that time really comes, he might still be a little reluctant.
Following the smooth lines further down was a soft work suit. An Huaixu glanced at the faintly visible butterfly bones and the slender waist that made people fantasize, and actually felt a little regretful that he could not appreciate these scenes properly.
If possible, it would be better for him to confirm with his own eyes whether there is that special raindrop mark on Shi Yun’s lower back.
… Just one look, just one look and he will be able to…
Thinking of this, An Huaixu raised his hand involuntarily and gently hooked the person's collar.
In an instant, skin as white as jade rushed into his sight.
He moved upward along the curve of his hips purposefully, and then his eyes widened——
A large scar hideously crawled on Shi Yun's thin waist. Not to mention the raindrop birthmark, he couldn't even recognize a piece of intact skin!
How could...
What has he experienced before?
An Huaixu did not expect this situation. He was thinking anxiously, and suddenly lowered his head, bumping into Shi Yun's deer-like eyes. His breath was choked, and a feeling of guilt arose.
Since the first time they met, he was afraid of Shi Yun's eyes.
Not only because his smile resembles the innocent Xiaoyu, but also because he always feels that Shi Yun's eyes can see through all his dirty thoughts.
The two looked at each other for a moment, not knowing whose heartbeat started first, but the thumping sound only made An Huaixu irritated.
He was the first to look away, and the movement of letting go made it more obvious. He said in a low and slightly unnatural voice: "How long...are you going to hold me?"
Shi Yun's brain was in a state of shutdown and he didn't notice anything unusual about him at all. Even after he was reminded by Shi Yun, he slowly looked at the intimate posture of the two.
He was trying to identify the current situation and blinked suddenly!
In an instant, he was like a boiling kettle, with smoke billowing from his head. He hurriedly and quickly let go of his hand, "S-Sorry!"
"I didn't mean to, I just, just- ugh!"
Shi Yun closed his eyes, and retreated aimlessly while talking. He kicked a stone without any defense and fell backwards heavily!
Just like in history, An Huaixu reached out, quickly grabbed him, and dragged him to an open place: "Troublemaker."
Shi Yun still seemed to be unable to see clearly, and he fumbled around with his hands until he touched the hem of An Huaixu's clothes, then he felt at ease: "Thank you, you are really... "
An Huaixu pinched his mouth with two fingers, physically interrupting the casting of the 'Good Person of Time Card', and coldly left a word: "Annoying."
Shi Yun then raised his thumb, curved his eyes, and smiled foolishly.
An Huaixu let go of his hand with a headache, and subconsciously wanted to take out his cell phone to light up the room, but when he felt his pocket, he realized he didn't have it with him.
Shi Yun obviously didn't have one either. He took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally for a few seconds, bent down, and began to look for the dropped matchbox.
"Uncle Chen's cellar door can only be opened from the outside. Now I just pray that they will find it soon..." He stopped talking halfway and muttered, "I remember I just left it here. How come it's gone..."
An Huaixu watched Shi Yun and the black and red matchbox miss each other. When they continued to grope towards the side, he was stunned and continued to observe silently.
Shi Yun opened his eyes wide without noticing, trying to identify his surroundings.
Finally, after passing through who knows how many circles, he touched the matchbox.
He stood up happily and found the candlestick along the wall.
Unfortunately, his whole body was weak, and his hands were trembling slightly. He tried several times but failed to light the fire.
He pursed his lips, but instead of being discouraged, he became more and more courageous, as if he was determined to fight with the matchstick for three hundred rounds.
An Huaixu crossed his arms and looked at him like this, feeling a little unhappy.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the match, and lit the candlestick in just three or two seconds.
The dim light flickered, making this already simple cellar seem even more depressing.
Shi Yun was not used to the sudden light, so he raised his hand to cover the upper half of his face, feeling the warmth driven by the blood flowing to his limbs, awakening all his senses.
He blinked his eyes, and his gradually clear vision immediately followed the gap between his fingertips and rested on An Huaixu's straight figure.
When he clearly realized that he was not alone here, he finally let out the fear that was stuck in his throat.
But as soon as he relaxed, the pain quickly spread from his arm to his head.
Suddenly, his body swayed and his vision went dark. Then, he was awakened by the rich aroma of Carpenter Chen's homemade fruit wine, and he held on to the wall steadily.
He turned his head to look at An Huaixu, who had gotten so close to him without him noticing. In order not to disgust others, he took two small steps back.
At this moment, An Huaixu asked coldly: "Don't you know how to write the word 'help'?"
Shi Yun didn't react for a moment to where this question came from, so he looked up and looked at him.
An Huaixu saw that his left eye showed "stupid" and his right eye showed "confused". He was silent for a few seconds, feeling a strong force in his heart and had no intention of letting this question go.
"Why didn't you call me for help just now?"
He had a stern face and his tone made him look a little fierce.
Shi Yun didn’t know if it was because he was a little drunk, or because he had just experienced these things and his emotions had not completely calmed down, but he actually felt a little wronged and uncomfortable.
He tapped the dirt on the wall with his fingers, lowered his head and said softly: "But you don't look like you will help me, you even scold me..."
An Huaixu wondered: "When did I scold you?"
Shi Yun: “You just called me a troublemaker.”
An Huaixu: "That's not scolding you, that's——"
He suddenly stopped talking and met Shi Yun's secretly expectant expression. He suddenly realized that this man was setting a trap for him. His face darkened and he shut up.
Shi Yun felt a little regretful that he didn't hear his true feelings. He sighed and quietly took another step closer to him.
He always felt safe staying with An Huaixu. For example, last night was the best night he slept since his parents were not at home.
He made no secret of his admiration and openly described An Huaixu's handsome features.
He looked at her for a long time, and couldn't stop talking, so he asked very bluntly: "Why are you always unhappy?"
Shi Yun had been puzzled about this matter for a long time. From the first sight, he felt that An Huaixu was the embodiment of negative emotions.
Just like the corners of his mouth, perhaps An Huaixu himself didn’t understand that although his eyes could hide a lot of things, the corners of his mouth could not.
Normally, the corners of his mouth were pressed down, as if he was holding a deep hatred.
But if his mood was a little brighter, the corners of his mouth would be straightened.
Shi Yun was used to these two, so he began to be curious about other things: “What do you look like when you are special, invincible, and super happy? Are you laughing heartily, or—” He pinched his throat and imitated a weird laugh “Hehehe—”
An Huaixu did not answer, but asked in return: "Why do you care about my emotions?" He paused for two seconds and added: "It seems to have nothing to do with you."
If you listen carefully, you can hear that when he said this, he was not as aggressive as before. On the contrary, he seemed a little helpless.
Unfortunately, Shi Yun's head gradually became dizzy and double images appeared in front of his eyes. The many handsome faces of Zhang An Huaixu made him feel dizzy and he had no time to think about other things.
He slapped the wall as a matter of course, and said in a very righteous manner: "We are friends. Friends should help each other and care about each other...isn't that what we should do?"
Shi Yun's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, but An Huaixu still listened to every word.
He had already noticed Shi Yun's strangeness, sniffed, and made a guess.
He said nothing with malicious intent, but instead crouched down and pressed forward.
"friend?"
"Yes!"
An Huaixu seemed to find this word very interesting, he didn't even know how it came about in their relationship.
After all, in this short day of getting along, he was not friendly to Shi Yun because of his suspicion and resentment.
He was very curious about what was going on in Shi Yun's little head every day. Was there no bad people in his world?
"When did I ever promise to be your friend?"
“You…” Shi Yun’s legs were weak and he couldn’t stand any longer, so he sat on the ground holding onto the wall, hugging his knees and said, “As long as they are not bad people, everyone is my friend.”
"Don't you think I was... fierce to you?" He thought for a long time about the adjective.
As soon as An Huaixu finished speaking, the corners of his mouth drooped immediately. The more he thought about it, the more awkward it felt. It sounded like he was acting coquettishly, and it gave people goose bumps!
He sighed and was about to change the subject when Shi Yun answered.
"You're fine, you just don't know how to express it."
An Huaixu was stunned, as if he had not expected that he would be such a person in Shi Yun's eyes.
Since his debut, he has heard too many fancy compliments, but few people have used such a simple word "good" to describe him, and it came from the mouth of someone he suspected. For a moment, he found it difficult to describe how it felt.
Shi Yun's face was red, and he was so angry that he said incoherently: "Young man, be more adventurous and generous! If you just do it without talking, no one will know how good you are!"
After he finished speaking, he praised himself: "I am the only one who has a good eye for talent. Who will spoil you when you enter the society?"
The tone he imitated was obviously that of Director Zhang.
An Huaixu's emotions were gone in just one sentence.
He didn't know whether he was irritated by Shi Yun or was just stupid, he suddenly laughed twice: "Don't learn useless things from others."
Then, he mercilessly mocked: "You are so noisy that you can get drunk just by smelling it. You are pretty awesome."
Shi Yun was surprised and asked him: "So your laughter is not 'jiejiejie'!"
He savored the second half of An Huai's preface and said embarrassedly, "Are you praising me?"
An Huaixu was really happy this time.
It seemed absurd to him to think what kind of little fool he had been fighting with all day.
Shi Yun glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze in an attempt to hide his mistake, then glanced at him again, then embarrassedly touched his head, then glanced at him again——
An Huaixu sat next to him: "Be generous."
Shi Yun didn't expect the boomerang to hit back so quickly. He immediately straightened his head and stared at a certain point in the void without moving.
An Huaixu: "Are you night blind?"
Shi Yun nodded.
“Nature or nurture?”
"the day after tomorrow."
An Huaixu's heart tightened. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Where are your parents?"
He had never heard Shi Yun mention his family. Was it gone, or was it——
Before An Huaixu had time to think of the last possibility, Shi Yun spoke.
Speaking of his parents, he finally showed some sadness:
"My parents are taking my sister to the city. She is not in good health and needs treatment in the city."
When An Huaixu heard this answer, he didn't know whether he was more afraid or more relieved.
He was afraid that the answer that was within his reach was wrong.
He was afraid that if he really was Shi Yu, he would have no parents and would have lived a very hard life for so many years, and all this suffering was caused by himself.
"Why didn't you leave with them?"
"There needs to be someone at home, and the village needs a teacher. I can't leave. If I leave——"
An Huaixu interrupted him: "This is not your responsibility alone."
"If everyone feels this way, no one will stand up." Shi Yun rested his chin on his arm, turned his head to look at An Huaixu, and smiled faintly: "I am not alone, I have dozens of families behind me who give me hope."
An Huaixu looked at him, fire flickered in his eyes, filling his entire body with a vibrant breath of life.
Shi Yun seemed to recall a certain memory:
"When I was a kid, I had a head injury and needed to be transferred to the city hospital urgently. As you know, the roads in our village are difficult to travel. The ambulance had to stop at the foot of the mountain 20 kilometers away. At that time, there were no battery cars or electric tricycles. Our village chief called a few uncles together, and they took turns pushing small wooden carts to take me there on foot."
Shi Yun said this and laughed: "If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to speak to you here."
"And then..."
An Huaixu didn't notice the trembling in his voice.
Shi Yun didn't either. He continued, "After I recovered, my parents took me to thank the village chief. The village chief said something that left a deep impression on me. He said, 'Children are the lights of our Fugui Village. With lights, the village is bright. Without lights, the village will die.'"
“That’s why I chose to become a preschool teacher.”
An Huaixu suddenly noticed that there was a small scar on Shi Yun’s left eyelid, which was impossible to see without careful observation.
He interrupted Shi Yun anxiously and panickedly: "How did you get the scar on your eyelid?"
Shi Yun touched his eyes, thought about it carefully, and found that there was no such thing in his memory.
"I don't know. I've forgotten a lot of things since I got hurt in the head..."
Shi Yu also has a scar in the same position as his. It was caused by him accidentally bumping into her when they were playing together one time, and he was scolded for it.
An Huaixu withdrew his gaze in embarrassment and smiled bitterly.
He felt like he was the fool.
It was obvious that from the first moment they met, he had no faith in fate, but she tried her best to tell him - 'Don't doubt it, this is the childhood sweetheart you've been thinking about.'
After Shi Yu got lost, no one knew where he went. Everyone said he was dead, but he believed he was still alive.
He had no direction and searched for a long time alone in the vast world.
He thought he would always remember Shi Yu's appearance, and even if the person turned into ashes, he would be able to tell which pile it was.
But he didn't expect that God had adjusted his clearance mode to the infant level, and he was still doubting whether this person was pretending.
In fact, he had simulated this scene thousands and countless times in his dreams, and he had a lot to say.
For example, ask him how he is doing?
Why don’t you go home?
Is it hot in summer?
Is it cold in winter?
Is there anyone who pampers you, a delicate girl?
And the most important thing is - they miss you very much.
An Huaixu tried his best to suppress his trembling hands. As soon as he spoke, thousands of words condensed into a hoarse and unpleasant sentence, as if squeezed out from his heart, stained with bitter blood and tears: "How old were you when you were injured?"
Shi Yun thought: "Five or six years old."
An Huaixu: "Just had my birthday."
Shi Yun was surprised: "How did you know?!"
An Huaixu laughed and thought to himself, I also know what wish you made for your birthday.
Time travels back fifteen years.
Shi Yu didn't like eating with strangers, so he never had a grand birthday party. Instead, the four families of Shi, An, Lin and Lu, who had good relations, got together and celebrated his birthday happily and simply.
I remember that day, Shi Yu was sick and had a low fever. His chubby little face was white with a hint of red, like a plump white bun just out of the oven, very cute.
So much so that on that day, An Huaixu, who had always had no patience for Shi Yu, unexpectedly calmed down and accompanied him everywhere, and even corrected him when he was making a birthday wish -
In front of the not-so-big birthday cake, Shi Yun clenched his hands in a serious manner, sniffed, and said in a baby voice, "Xiao Yu wants to stay with brother Huai Xu forever."
An Huaixu has been rational and calm since he was a child. When he heard his unrealistic words, he said, "All good things must come to an end."
"What does that mean?"
"I can't always be with you. You made a wrong wish."
Shi Yu blinked, turned around and added: "If we are separated, then we will stand at the highest point where we can see each other. I want to keep looking at Brother Huaixu!"
An Huaixu seemed to have not expected him to say that. He was stunned for a few seconds, then came to his senses and said helplessly, "Stupid, it won't work if you say it out loud, but... I will."
He gave his gift to Shigure.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yu gave him a red bracelet and a white cube of candy in return.
The word "eternity" is printed on the toffee.
Shi Yu looked at him seriously: "The symbol of friendship, eternity!"
That day was August 8th.
Shi Yu went missing on the morning of August 11th.
It's only a few days apart, but it feels like the difference between heaven and hell.
Back to reality.
An Huaixu clenched his fists and remained silent.
After he confirmed that Shi Yun was Shi Yu, he did not cry for joy as he had imagined, nor did he plan to announce it to everyone with drums and gongs. Only the endless calmness transformed from the heartache filled his mind, making him pick up his responsibilities as a brother again.
Because Shi Yu’s disappearance that year was a premeditated kidnapping.
The mastermind has been sent to jail, while the accomplice Wang Jia is still at large.
A person who had been missing for fifteen years returned home safely. This would be explosive news anywhere, let alone one of the top business leaders, Shi Jia.
He couldn't and didn't dare to bring Shi Yu out into the open without being 100% sure it was safe.
Moreover, there were still a few questions he didn't understand.
What happened after that? Why did Shi Yu appear here and become Shi Yun?
Shi Yun seemed to have forgotten them. What on earth had he been through?
How did he get the scar on his waist... Did his brother, who is so afraid of pain, get blisters from crying?
Will he... blame him?
An Huaixu looked at Shi Yun, who was curled up quietly, seemingly in a low mood.
An Huaixu hid his mixed negative emotions, pursed his lips, found a rare topic, and spoke first: "Do you like it here?"
Shi Yun turned around and looked at him: "I like it. The people here are nice, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many cute children. What about you, do you like it?"
An Huaixu actually had no feelings, but following these words, he thought that it was the people and things of this land that nurtured Shi Yun, allowing him to grow up healthily and become such an innocent, kind, and naive little fool.
He softened his heart a little and thought, "It's not bad."
"Um."
Shi Yun was amused: "You scared me to death. I always thought you were unhappy because this place is not good."
An Huaixu looked at Shi Yun, who was drunk and shaking his head, and thought it was really adorable. Gradually, he regained the pleasure of being a brother.
He raised the corner of his lips slightly: "What on earth are you thinking about every day?"
Shi Yun counted on his fingers: "I miss my parents, my sister, my children, and the kindergarten..."
"And you?"
Shi Yun tilted his head in confusion.
An Huaixu repeated: "What about you? Why don't you think about yourself?"
Shi Yun did not answer. An Huaixu waited patiently for a long time, thinking that he was stumped by this profound question. Unexpectedly, when he glanced at him, he saw that he had fallen asleep on his knees in a daze.
But Shi Yun seemed to be in a deep nightmare, his brows were knitted, and he looked like he was sleeping very restlessly.
An Huaixu moved a few inches closer to Shi Yun, and was finally able to stroke Shi Yun's hair like he did when they were little, and whispered a word of comfort: "Sleep well, I'm here."
Shi Yun raised his hand and grabbed around randomly. Finally, when he grasped An Huaixu's fingers, he trembled and said in a dreamlike voice, "Brother, brother, I'm so scared..."
The emotions that An Huaixu had been holding back for a long time suddenly surged up.
But after so many years, his tears had long been swallowed by him and turned into irreparable guilt.
He could not express his emotions, nor did he want to express them. He went his own way and acted arrogantly for more than 20 years. He fell into this person's trap again and experienced what it meant to be afraid of disturbing someone's nervousness even with his breathing.
He pulled back his fingers, held Shi Yun's cold hand, and said softly: "If this is another self-deceiving dream..."
It would be nice to let him die in his sleep.
After a long time.
Shi Yun took a short nap and the alcohol was almost gone.
He stared at the cellar ceiling in a daze. Not only did his whole body feel exhausted and weak as if he had indulged himself all night, but his head also felt extremely heavy.
He really couldn't understand it. He was clearly standing at the outside and the wine barrel was placed at the inside. He couldn't even see its shadow, but he could smell the smell and get drunk from a distance.
If this happened in their village, it would make people laugh out loud!
Shi Yun paused for two seconds and suddenly realized that his current vision angle was extremely incorrect.
He slowly turned his eyes, and a face so handsome that it infuriated both humans and gods appeared in his eyes at close range! !
His coat!
He actually rested his head on An Huaixu's shoulder! !
Shi Yun dared to say that he had never been so surprised as he was now...well, maybe a little happy.
He watched quietly.
An Huaixu was resting with his eyes closed, leaning against the wall, with one leg propped up and the other stretched naturally.
Shi Yun had admired it enough, so he raised his head stealthily and carefully, trying to pretend that everything was as perfect as before without anyone noticing.
Little did he know that as soon as he moved, An Huaixu opened his eyes.
He did not interrupt, but stared at him solemnly.
Perhaps he realized that Shi Yun had no intention of leaving, his wildly beating heart finally stopped.
Shi Yun sat up straight without noticing anything, clapped his hands, and praised himself in his heart for being so smart and perfectly resolving the embarrassment.
At this moment, the cellar door finally made a sound and creaked open a crack.
Carpenter Chen poked his head out with a somewhat nervous look on his face: "Hey, you two are really here!"
He looked at the two of them, who were covered in dust, and hurriedly climbed down. After checking that they were okay, he said with lingering fear: "Duoduo told me last time that this door should be repaired. I thought it was okay and didn't take it seriously... You said this, I'm really sorry, both of you."
Unexpectedly, before Shi Yun could answer, An Huaixu stood up and said, "It's okay."
Not only is everything fine, I also want to thank you for your good door.
Thinking of this, An Huaixu reached out and pulled back Shi Yun, who was about to follow Carpenter Chen to get some wine, and without saying a word, pushed him to stand in the brightest sunlight beside the wooden ladder.
"Stay still."
Shi Yun was stunned for a moment. Looking at An Huaixu's figure, he felt that something seemed different.
Before he could figure out what was different, An Huaixu and Carpenter Chen came back one after another.
Carpenter Chen, holding the wine jar, was the first to climb up the wooden ladder.
Shi Yun had been feeling pent up for a long time and followed closely behind.
The first time he saw the sun, his nervousness finally dissipated. He stretched comfortably and was about to pull An Huaixu, but when he turned around, he saw someone blowing out the oil lamp and was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
Shi Yun's heart suddenly tightened and he turned around to go down again.
Unexpectedly, with the sound of steady footsteps, An Huaixu soon appeared under the wooden ladder, looked up and looked at him, and smiled gently.
Shi Yun was stunned and couldn't take his eyes away.
Such an An Huai preface is so fascinating!
Following the path back to the front yard, Shi Yun passed by the main house. He tilted his head to look at the clock hanging in the house and realized that it was almost five o'clock.
Jiang Song was carrying the cooked meal to two wooden tables placed together. When he saw them, he greeted them happily: "Shi Xiao is here, come and help!"
When Shi Yun heard this, he raised his leg and was about to go over.
An Huaixu quickly grabbed his arm and frowned: "Go wash yourself first."
Then, Jiang Song saw Shi Yun following An Huaixu obediently.
At first glance, the way they were getting along was no different from before, but he suddenly felt strange for some reason.
Shi Yun and An Huaixu came back soon one after another.
Jiang Song left an empty seat for Shi Yun next to him. Seeing this, he patted the chair and said, "Come over, Shi Yun..."
Before he finished speaking, An Huaixu said, "Sit there. An Shuqi doesn't know how to use chopsticks."
When Shi Yun saw the child, he responded almost immediately. He turned around and followed An Huaixu.
Jiang Song: "..."
[Scored twice, so funny! ]
[These two people left for a while, why did the atmosphere become even more strange when they came back? Hmm... Interview with the unfamiliar brother, do you have any clues? ]
[Before speaking, the unfamiliar brother glanced at Jiang Song, so he definitely knew what he was going to do! ]
[I've been a fan of An Huaixu for a year and thought he was a straightforward person, but I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning! ]
[I didn't feel anything at first, but this overt and covert operation made me fall in love with it. Food is coming, food is coming!!]
Carpenter Chen happily carried a pile of clean cups and a bottle of apricot jam to the table. While praising An Huaixu's cooking skills, he opened the apricot jam, brewed it into apricot juice and distributed it to a group of children who were staring at him eagerly.
The local children were very happy to see this thing, and even Shi Yun asked curiously: "Uncle Chen, is this really the set for the New Year?"
Carpenter Chen laughed out loud: "Just enjoy your meal, it doesn't matter what!"
Jiang Song picked up the cup curiously and smelled it: "What is this?"
Carpenter Chen sat next to him and proudly introduced: "Apricot jam is a good thing here! Every year when the apricots are ripe, we sell all that can be sold, and the ones that can't be sold are made into this thing. It's a few dollars a bottle, and the business is pretty good."
He gave Chen Duoduo, who had just finished a few sips, some more, and continued, “…In the end, every family will keep one or two bottles to eat during the New Year.”
"Are all the trees planted on our mountain apricot trees?"
"Yes, there are still apples!" Carpenter Chen remembered something: "It will be time to pick apples soon."
While picking up some food for An Shuqi, Shi Yun added, "It should be these few days. I saw the village chief has already run to the mountain."
An Shuqi stood between Shi Yun's legs, lying on the table, holding a small bowl, shaking his head and eating happily.
An Huaixu didn't want to care about him at first. He endured it again and again, but he was still annoyed and made a warning sound.
An Shuqi shrank towards Shi Yun and immediately became obedient.
Shi Yun patted his head and said indulgently, "Shuqi, tell the teacher what you like to eat and the teacher will pick it for you."
An Shuqi's eyes lit up and he pointed at Wensi Tofu: "I want more!"
Shi Yun picked up his small bowl, used a spoon to scoop some more food for him, and then served the other children who were staring at him eagerly.
Jiang Nianyu said sweetly: "Thank you, Teacher Xiao~"
Shi Yun tilted his head and replied gently: "Nian Yu is really sensible, you're welcome~"
Somehow Carpenter Chen and Jiang Song ended up talking about wine.
"Hey, Teacher Jiang, you have good taste. This wine is my favorite thing in my life!"
When Chen Duoduo heard this, she raised her little face unhappily: "Dad, aren't my mom and I your favorites?!"
Carpenter Chen quickly said "Puh, Puh, Puh" and stroked Chen Duoduo's braid: "Dad was wrong!"
Chen Duoduo hummed with satisfaction, sipped the apricot juice cherishingly, and calmed down.
She had no idea that An Huaixu on the opposite corner had discovered something and was staring at her without blinking.
After Shi Yun fed An Shuqi, he looked between Chen Mujiang, Chen Duoduo, and An Huaixu, and almost immediately understood what An Huaixu was thinking.
He quietly moved his chair, leaned sideways, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Duoduo's mother died of illness at the beginning of the year. Duoduo was very sad. Even though it has been so long, she still feels unhappy when she mentions her mother."
In order to make it easier for him to speak, An Huaixu lowered his head.
Shi Yun sighed, "At that time, Uncle Chen kept saying that he would make more money and take Aunt Chen to a big city for treatment. I didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes. In the past two years, let alone making money, I'm lucky not to lose money."
An Huaixu: "Business is bad?"
Shi Yun nodded: "Well, I wonder if the apples can be sold at a good price in a while, otherwise when the cold season comes, the villagers will suffer for a while."
An Huaixu seemed to have imagined that little Shi Yun was huddled in the ice and snow, shaking a broken bowl, and said pitifully to the passers-by: "Uncle, please give me some money... Sister, please give me something to eat..."
Finally, Xiaoshi Yun was shivering and could not hold on any longer. He froze to death with a "wow".
An Huaixu seemed to have just woken up from a dream and became serious unconsciously.
[Hey, we're having dinner, what are you two whispering about? Let me hear it!]
[An Huaixu's frown looks like he could kill a fly with it, so funny! ]
[An Huaixu and Shi Yun probably noticed that Duoduo was a little unhappy. I also come from a single-parent family, so I can especially understand this feeling! ]
Carpenter Chen poured Jiang Song a cup: "Come, try it!"
After saying that, he handed the other cup to Shi Yun: "Xiao Shi, I watched you grow up. I feel relieved that Duoduo is with you. You will have to work harder in the future!"
Shi Yun originally wanted to refuse, but now that things had come to this, he felt really sorry for the situation if he didn't take a sip.
Unexpectedly, An Huaixu took the glass of wine.
"Uncle Chen, he can't drink much, I'll drink this glass with you."
Jiang Song once again glanced at Shi Yun and An Huaixu strangely, and quickly raised his glass: "Come on, let's drink together!"
An Shuqi was eating happily, but when he heard that they were leaving, he shook his head, clung to Shi Yun, and said aggrievedly: "No!"
"Okay, okay, I won't leave."
Everyone laughed!
[No, Mr. Shi can't drink much. How did you know that? Have you two ever had a drink in private? ? ]
[The sister who just floated over, you got the truth. I just said that they were not familiar with each other, but I never denied that they had drunk together. Think about it carefully! ]
【When you are having sex, be the happiest girl in the world. 】
[I really am not pretending at all! 】
After dinner, the sun had already set halfway, and the bright red color gradually turned into a light pink, covering half of the sky and illuminating the village.
Shi Yun was playing with the children in the yard. His eyes caught sight of a small, somewhat lonely figure sitting on the steps at the gate.
It’s Duoduo.
Shi Yun walked over and called her softly: "Duoduo, why don't you come and play with everyone?"
Chen Duoduo held the apricot jam jar, her eyes reddened: "Mother loves apricot juice the most, I miss you."
When Shi Yun got closer, he noticed that Duoduo was holding the bottle of apricot jam in her hand.
He sat next to Duoduo and held her in his arms with one hand: "Aniang is always by your side, accompanying you. It may be a breeze, a sunset glow, a star, or a butterfly. As long as you feel it carefully, you will find Aniang's love everywhere."
Just then, a breeze blew across Chen Duoduo's cheek, as gentle as a mother's.
Chen Duoduo leaned on Shi Yun's chest and shed tears silently.
After crying for a while, Chen Duoduo's mood quickly changed.
Carpenter Chen came out holding a box. Seeing Shi Yun and Chen Duoduo sitting at the door, he shouted in confusion, "What are you two doing? Come here!"
Shi Yun carefully wiped Chen Duoduo's face and pulled her over.
"There are ants moving over there. Duoduo and I are trying to see which ant is the most powerful."
When Lucky heard this, he became interested and ran over.
Carpenter Chen noticed that Chen Duoduo looked a little unhappy, so he leaned forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Chen Duoduo pulled the corners of her mouth firmly and shook her head: "Dad, I'm fine."
Carpenter Chen did not doubt him and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay." He put his arm around Chen Duoduo's shoulders and smiled again and said to everyone: "You have been busy for a long time. Congratulations on completing the task. This is my small thank you gift."
Jiang Song opened the box and found a pile of wooden musical instruments and seeds of unknown origin.
"These are water spinach seeds. Plant them. They will generally mature in about a month and a half. Our children love to eat them!"
Carpenter Chen finished speaking and took out another small box from behind him: "Besides being able to work with wood, I don't have any other skills. I made this in a hurry this afternoon. I hope you don't mind it."
Jiang Song took them and found that Carpenter Chen had carved them into lifelike little wooden figures!
Although it is not very detailed, Carpenter Chen captured the characteristics very accurately, and you can tell who is who at a glance!
Jiang Song picked it up with surprise and gave the camera a close-up intentionally or unintentionally: "It's so beautiful, I will definitely keep it well!"
An Huaixu noticed Jiang Song's intention and took out his own: "Well, not bad, thank you."
【Anzhi certification! 】
[How can I contact Carpenter Chen? I want to customize a wooden figurine of my grandmother! ]
[Don’t say anything, just go to the link! ]
After bidding farewell to Carpenter Chen and Chen Duoduo, Jiang Song and An Huaixu picked up the rope again and began the journey of sending the children home.
Shi Yun stood consciously next to the teacher who was filming him, fiddling with his phone, writing something stroke by stroke.
Only after hearing a soft "whoosh" sound did he put his phone away and concentrate on walking.
At the same time, An Huaixu's phone vibrated after he had just withdrawn his attention. He took it out and looked at it:
