The next day, Xia Mian took Xiao Feng to visit Xia Chun's grave.
She and the child made a copy of the court's verdict and burned it for Xia Chun.
Xiao Feng knelt in front of the grave, burning paper and crying silently.
Xia Mian was heartbroken and held him in her arms to comfort him. Xiao Feng finally leaned on her shoulder and cried, "Mom...Auntie."
"Yes, my aunt is here." Xia Mian stroked his back and accompanied him silently...
The child did not cry for long.
More than two years have passed, and they have all accepted the fact that Xia Chun left. Although they still feel sad when they mention it, they have also learned to look forward.
Xia Mian wiped the child's tears, held his hand and walked back slowly.
From a distance, I saw Qiangqiang waiting on the roadside, throwing something around in his hand.
Seeing her and Xiaofeng, Qiangqiang immediately ran over excitedly.
As he got closer, he saw Xiao Feng's eyes were red. He scratched his head helplessly, then suddenly remembered something. He roughly stuffed something in his hand towards Xiao Feng, "Here, I bought you some Jianlibao. It's super delicious. After drinking it, you won't want to cry anymore, you'll just want to laugh."
Xia Mian was at a loss for words. "You're just trying to laugh. You're talking about yourself."
Qiangqiang chuckled and seeing Xiaofeng holding the Jianlibao without moving, he simply reached out and took it from his arms to help him open the bottle.
Xia Mian suddenly remembered seeing this guy throwing things around before. His eyes fell on the can of Jianlibao and he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"
However, it was too late. When the pull ring was opened, the soda gushed out like a fountain. Qiang faced the strong impact and was sprayed all over his head and face.
Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said anxiously, "Brother Qiangqiang!"
Qiangqiang didn't care even though his face was covered in foam. He hurriedly opened his mouth to block the mouth of the can and slurped the soda that came out.
After finishing the slurp, he handed the remaining Jianlibao to Xiao Feng, "Alright, drink it!"
Seeing Xiao Feng looking at him with worry, he wiped his face casually and said, "Really, I just want to laugh after drinking it." After that, he laughed as if he was hit by a smiling half-step madness.
It made Xia Mian and Xiao Feng laugh.
Qiangqiang immediately became happy when he saw this, turned around and ran forward laughing.
There was a wooden plank propped up by rocks on the side of the road, like a seesaw. Qiangqiang stopped, found a flat, round stone and placed it on the side where the plank landed. He ran to the raised side and stomped on it, shouting, "Cannonballs, fire!"
Heading towards Xia Mian and Xiao Feng, Xia Mian quickly protected the child and shouted angrily, "Qiang Qiang!"
Then he watched helplessly as the "cannonball" fired by Qiangqiang was thrown high into the air, drew a perfect parabola, and landed directly on Qiangqiang's head.
The naughty boy screamed in pain and squatted down, covering his head.
aestivation:……
She hurried over to check his injuries.
Then, although she knew she shouldn't do that, Xia Mian couldn't help laughing as she stared at the bump on Qiangqiang's forehead.
Xiao Feng next to him obviously knew that he shouldn't laugh, so he could only bury his head in Xia Mian's shoulder. His little shoulder trembled, and he turned his head to look at Qiangqiang from time to time, and then buried his head again.
With this naughty boy around, I really can’t feel sad at all.
In short, thanks to Qiangqiang, Xia Mian and Xiao Feng's moods recovered quickly. Xiao Feng even went out with him to play in the afternoon and came back soaked.
At night, Xia Mian was lying in bed talking on the phone with Ning Shaobai.
She laughed non-stop when talking about Qiangqiang's mischief. "He really gets beaten every day. These past few days, Xiaofeng is here, so he doesn't get beaten, but is stuffed into the tank by his dad every day."
Naturally, I talked about what happened yesterday...
"...They're really good at playing. That design is much more exciting than a water slide. They're covered in mud so evenly that they can be fried right away," Xia Mian said with a laugh. "But my eldest brother was almost pissed off. I think that tank is almost useless today. He's stuck in it now, with his limbs tied together and twisted like a knot. He's having a lot of fun."
Thinking of Qiangqiang's sleeping look, Xia Mi couldn't help laughing and felt very regretful. "If only my phone could take pictures, I could send them to you. I didn't bring a camera this time."
If it were in the future, Qiangqiang’s daily naughty projects would probably be enough to support a short video account, and it would be the kind that could become a small hit.
"And Xiao Feng, his look yesterday was also rare to see." Xia Mian looked at the child lying next to her, and felt regretful again when she remembered how muddy he was. "It's a pity that I couldn't take a picture. Even if I can't take a video, a photo would be fine. When will my phone be able to take pictures? I can show it to him later. It must be very interesting."
Xiao Feng knew that they were talking about him, so he climbed up and put his little head on Xia Mian's shoulder, twisting around a little embarrassedly, which made Xia Mian so cute.
She hugged the child and gave him a big kiss. "It's okay. You have a good memory. When you grow up, you can draw all the dark history of your brother Qiangqiang."
Xiao Feng didn't know which aspect of Qiangqiang she was thinking of, and she started giggling again, nodding as she laughed, obviously having taken note of this incident.
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but curl his lips as he listened to the laughter of his aunt and nephew. "You guys are living a very lively life. You seem to be enjoying yourself so much that you don't want to leave."
The four words "happy and not thinking of Shu" inexplicably sounded a bit resentful.
Xia Mian played dumb, "What do you mean by being so happy that I don't miss my hometown? This is my hometown, okay?"
"Besides, it's only been three days, Doctor Ning."
Ning Shaobai spoke in a nonchalant tone, but what he said was quite interesting. "Really? Why do I feel like so many years have passed?"
Xia Mian couldn't help but cover her face. Dr. Ning really took every opportunity to seduce people.
Not willing to be outdone, she asked in surprise, "Is life in Yan City so hard? I wanted to go back earlier, so I'd better stay a little longer. I think it would be nice to stay until the end of summer vacation."
Ning Shaobai paused for a moment, then quickly came up with a new excuse, "By the end of summer vacation, it will be hard to buy tickets to Yan City. You'll have to take a hard seat back then."
Xia Mian wanted to laugh when she heard this, and continued to argue with him, "It doesn't matter. I can go back whenever I can buy a sleeper berth. It doesn't matter if it's ten or eight days later than the summer vacation. At most, I can ask our class teacher for leave. Anyway, I can keep up with my studies."
"It's comfortable here in the summer, and the days go by quickly, right, Xiao Feng."
Xiao Feng nodded and began to count on her fingers, "Catching cicada monkeys, touching loaches, swimming..." At this point, Xiao Feng looked at Xia Mian and said, "Auntie, I want to swim."
Xia Mian said with a smile, "Okay, auntie will teach you how to swim."
Ning Shaobai asked, "Do you have a swimming pool?"
"Where's the swimming pool?" Xia Mian laughed. "We have a big stream. That's where Mingxi County came from. There's a place in Mingxi where the water isn't too deep, which is just right for children to swim."
"It's not too late to go back after Xiaofeng learns to swim."
"Wait a moment." Ning Shaobai seemed to be gone for a while. When he picked up the phone again, his tone was full of regret. "It seems that you can't buy the house this time."
Xia Mian asked, "What house?"
"Aren't you looking to buy a house that might be demolished?" Ning Shaobai asked, "An acquaintance just called and said there's a family in Xianghe Village who wants to sell a house on a plot of land with ten rooms."
Xiao Feng next to him immediately pricked up his ears.
"It's said that several of his sons want to buy houses in the city, so they want to sell their house in the village to divide the family property among them. A friend said that yard is quite nice." Ning Shaobai analyzed, "If Yan City is going to be demolished, that place should be demolished soon."
Of course it’s fast, between the Third and Fourth Ring Roads, that’s the prime location! Not only is it fast, but it’s also valuable!
Xia Mian didn't know whether Ning Shaobai was telling the truth or teasing her. She was hesitating when Xiao Feng beside her became anxious. "Uncle Ning, buy it, buy it!"
"I can only buy it after you come back." Ning Shaobai said, "Xiao Feng, don't you want to learn swimming?"
Xiao Feng glanced at Xia Mian and said, "Go back and study."
Xia Mian laughed, and was basically certain that Ning Shaobai was teasing her. Doctor Ning had gone to great lengths to trick her back, even sparing the children.
She smiled and said, "Doctor Ning, please buy it for me. My money is with you anyway."
"The money is with me," Ning Shaobai said leisurely, "but the household registration book is not with me..."
Xia Mian didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that this was another double entendre.
Then he continued, "When buying a house, the ownership must be transferred. I don't have your household registration book. I can't use your money to buy it and then put it on my household registration book."
At this point, he chuckled, "Otherwise, who will be responsible for it in the future?"
Xiao Feng said, "It belongs to my aunt."
aestivation:……
Her house is on Ning Shaobai's household registration book. My dear nephew, don't sell your aunt like this.
Ning Shaobai laughed out loud, and Xia Mian was also amused. She said to Xiao Feng, "We have to buy it ourselves, and it has to be recorded in our own household registration books."
Xiao Feng didn’t quite understand, but whatever Xia Mian said was what he believed.
Ning Shaobai said calmly, "It's okay. I think there are many buyers for that house, so it should be sold soon. If you want to buy it yourself, it's probably too late. I'll ask my friends to ask you again."
"Maybe you'll find someone better when you come back."
aestivation:……
Xiao Feng immediately said, "Let's go back and buy it."
Ning Shaobai continued to shamelessly deceive the child, "You still have time to come back. At worst, I can pay the money first and the transfer can be delayed for a few days."
Xia Mian snorted, "You mean I can catch up if I go back tomorrow?"
Ning Shaobai said "hmm" seriously, and then said, "Do you want me to buy tickets for you?"
Xia Mian raised her phone and said, "Doctor Ning, can you see my expression?"
Ning Shaobai could fully imagine her glaring at him while holding her phone, so he suppressed a smile and said, "Well, I know you can't wait to come back, but I have to see the situation, I may not be able to buy tickets."
aestivation:……
"I really want to see your expression now!" A guy who is taking advantage of others!
"Brother Bai, are you still on the phone?" Rong Xin's voice came. He seemed to check the time. "It's been almost an hour."
Xia Mian was puzzled, "Why is Brother Rong with you?"
"Kicked out of the house." Ning Shaobai said.
"Ah? Why?" Xia Mian thought for a moment and said, "Let me guess, it's not because of having a girlfriend, right?"
"Well," Ning Shaobai said, "Uncle Rong thought he was going to get married this time, but he broke up as soon as he came back."
"Break up again?" Xia Mian was speechless.
Rong Xin is really a model of a playboy. Because of the convenience of running an entertainment company, he has come into contact with many actresses and female singers. He pursues them passionately, but after chasing them for three or four months at most, or one or two months at most, they will break up.
This time he should be the one who persisted the longest, it seems like almost half a year, so Mr. Rong thought he was serious about getting married.
I didn't expect that we broke up again.
"Reason?" Although Xia Mian asked this, he had already guessed the answer in his heart.
"Now I like another actress."
really.
Xia Mian said, "Let me guess, she's not the heroine of the TV series that's currently being broadcast."
"Yes," Ning Shaobai said, "a female lead in a Hong Kong drama, she seems to be a newcomer."
aestivation:……
In her opinion, Rong Xin is more of a fan than a lover, and he keeps quitting being a fan and switching sides.
Because Rong Xin was there, the two chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.
Ning Shaobai looked at his phone thoughtfully. He could take photos and record videos, but could he see the other person?
Rong Xin walked over while wiping his head. "Brother Bai, when did you become so clingy when you called? If I hadn't known it was Xia Mian, I would have thought you were in love with some girl."
Ning Shaobai: ...
At this point, Rong Xin sighed and said, "But you'd better not fall in love. If you do, I'll have no way to survive."
Ning Shaobai said expressionlessly, "You're going to die now."
