Chapter 46 Years Ago
Chapter 46 Years Ago
The next day, Ji Ningxia woke up from drunkenness, her mind was in a daze, and the aftertaste of last night still remained, all the clips flashed in her mind like a movie.
It's so good that it's not dead, it's really not broken.
Ji Ningxia was completely stunned. Sitting on the bed, she looked at the front stupidly, a little helpless, thinking of her stupid behavior last night, her face became hot.
Although I planned to tell my teammates about my relationship with Lin Zhi every day, I never thought that I would tell all of it so suddenly.
Ji Ningxia rolled on the bed, tiptoed to the outside of the house, poked her head and stretched her neck to know everyone's reaction, but the base was quiet, not even a single person.
"Ningxia, what are you doing standing there?" Chi Yiheng's voice came from behind.
Ji Ningxia turned her head to look, Chi Yiheng was standing not far away holding a quilt of milk, Ji Ningxia lowered her eyes a little guilty, "Well...it's nothing..."
"Oh." Chi Yiheng nodded, "Have you had breakfast? Auntie cooked porridge in the pot, and there are steamed dumplings and buns in the steamer."
Ji Ningxia nodded, "Okay."
"Well, I'm going to discuss something with the sponsor and I'm going out." Seeing this, Chi Yiheng didn't say anything, and left the base with his coat.
Everything was so indifferent, as if nothing happened. For the next day, Ji Ningxia looked at his teammates who accepted everything calmly, and his whole heart was relieved.
Everyone accepted everything so naturally and without distraction, without mentioning a word, tacitly.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of the year. The program is scheduled to be recorded after the end of the year. The TK team, which has no competition for the time being, is relatively idle. It snowed a little at night. When Lin Zhi came out wrapped in cotton clothes, he looked at the whiteness and was still in a trance. for a while.
Breathing out the white mist with a long breath, no one else in the base woke up. Lin Zhi remembered that Ji Ningxia had subconsciously tugged at the corner of his clothes when he just left the bed, and he waited for a while before letting him leave.
The actions that a child relies on unconsciously will always make him feel soft in his heart.
Lin Zhi drove to the flower shop he frequented to buy a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and after thinking about it, he took a detour to the old street to buy a box of sweet cakes and two taels of sweet potato wine before heading to the cemetery.
It is completely different from the last time I came here. The lush mountain forest is now bare with snow hanging on the branches.
Stepping on the overnight snow, there was a "creak" sound, and the tip of his nose was inhaling cold air. Lin Zhi was already out of breath when he walked along the mountain road to the destination.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tombstone and the front of the tomb, put down the white chrysanthemum and sweet potato wine in his hands, Lin Zhi sat down directly regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.
"It's your birthday again, and I bought your favorite sweet cake and sweet potato wine. The grandmother Zhang who made the sweet cake passed away a few days ago. Now her daughter is making it. The taste is a little bit bad. You can eat it together. It's really delicious. If you’re not used to it, go find Grandma Zhang and see if she has opened a shop down there.”
Lin Zhi talked to himself, he has been doing this all these years, every time he came here to have a look, he just sat here and talked, and said all he wanted to say these days, regardless of whether the old man liked it or not.
But even if he doesn't like to listen to Lin Zhi, he doesn't know, so let's just count him as like to listen to it.
"Grandpa." Lin Zhi called out, "I've been doing well recently."
"I'm in love with him. He's a very cute boy. I know you'll probably get angry again, but it's useless. I've been alone for too long. I don't even have anyone to talk to. I can't let go of this kid. I like it so much."
"If you're really angry, wait until I go down one day before you bother me. When you're still up there, just turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't see it, and let me pass by safely."
Lin Zhi paused at this point, took out two cups from his pocket, poured sweet potato wine into them, made a toast to the person who had fallen asleep, and drank one cup by himself.
"He made up his mind," he said.
The sweet potato wine is a bit spicy to the throat, but after drinking a glass, it will warm the whole body.
The cold wind howled, and there was a little snow in the sky, which fell on Lin Zhi's eyelashes. He raised his eyes and let the snow fall.
He thought of the snowy night many years ago, when he and his grandfather were sitting at home warming the fire, and there was an eager knock on the door. At that time, they were discussing what their father would eat when he came home at night, but the neighbor came to tell them that the person who was waiting I can't come back.
The road was slippery in snowy weather, and people who were eager to go home were not driving steadily. The long-distance truck was tired after driving for a few days, and suddenly, the people and the car went into the river together.
Both the car and the person have not been salvaged, but it is designated as dead.
He didn't really remember how he felt at that time, but he remembered that the snow outside the house was heavy, and the wind was so strong that he seemed to be floating.
Lin Zhi's father and mother divorced when he was very young, and his mother didn't know where he had gone. He lived happily with his father and grandfather, but after a heavy snowfall, someone told him that your father would never come back.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren live together, and in the blink of an eye, there are only two grandparents left. God will not show mercy to people, he will only cruelly make life more difficult.
Grandpa also changed after his father left. It was not obvious at the beginning, but he was slow to respond, easily forgetting things, and often put less seasoning when cooking. Lin Zhi was young at that time and didn't know much. People are much duller.
Later, as the days went by and it became more and more serious, the old man began to beat and scold Lin Zhi, began to forget when he was, and began to pull a rocking chair and sit on the windowsill waiting for someone who would never come home again.
I went to the hospital for an examination and said that it was Alzheimer, which is what people often call senile dementia.
Alzheimer's is a chronic brain disease, and it took a long time to develop from the beginning to the seriousness. When Lin Zhi realized the disease and took the old man for an examination, he had no way to treat it.
Lin Zhi vaguely remembered the appearance of the old man sitting on the rocking chair, holding his hand and calling his father's name.
"Changsong, Changsong..." The old man murmured his name, held Lin Zhi's hand and called out the name of his deceased son, clearly thinking that his son was in front of him, but tears flowed unconsciously from his eyes.
Her eyes are cloudy and her face is haggard, but she is thinking of her beloved son.
His thoughts were withdrawn from the memories, Lin Zhi rubbed his face in a daze, he had few happy things in the first half of his life, and there were few happy memories, but the elderly accounted for most of them, even if he was tortured by illness in the end and didn't know Lin Zhi, For Lin Zhi, he is also the most important person.
After sitting in the cemetery for a long time, seeing the snow falling harder and harder, Lin Zhi stood up and smoothed the hem of his clothes, looked at the face of the old man on the tombstone, and reached out to touch it.
"Grandpa." There was a smile on the corner of Lin Zhi's lips, "Bring him to see you in a while, and you will like him too."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left. The wind blew past the package of sweet cakes in front of the monument, lifting half of it.
On the way back down the mountain, I saw someone coming down from the mountain with two baskets of oranges. The old man was wearing a green army overcoat, his face was flushed from the cold, and he saw Lin Zhi smiling, his face was wrinkled and friendly.
"Old man." Lin Zhi's heart moved slightly, his eyes fell on the orange, and he asked, "Is the orange sweet?"
"Sweet." The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "I grow it at home, without using pesticides, and it was originally eaten by my children. It's not about the Chinese New Year, and I want to sell some to subsidize the family."
"Yes." Lin Zhi nodded, "Weigh a few catties for me."
"Okay." The old man looked happy, and started to pack the bag in a hurry. In order not to be cold, he also said, "Our oranges are very sweet, and children love to eat them. You bought them for your children, right?" ?”
Hearing this, Lin Zhi wanted to deny it, but then he realized that there was nothing wrong with it. It was indeed bought for the children in the family. The children in the family had no other hobbies, but squeezed orange juice to drink.
"Well, I bought it for my child." Lin Zhiyu replied with a smile.
Thinking of Ji Ningxia, Lin Zhi was much more eager to go back while twisting the orange.
TK team base.
Ji Ningxia opened her eyes in a daze, and subconsciously touched her side. The person who should have been sleeping next to her had disappeared. After careful reflection, she learned from the residual memory that Lin Zhi got up and left a long time ago.
Picking up the slippers and walking outside, the rest of the team got up and sat in the dining room to have breakfast. When they saw Ji Ningxia get up, they said hello and called to have breakfast together.
"Where's Lin Zhi?" Ji Ningxia sat down on the stool and asked the others.
Mo Xi was speechless, "Isn't it Ningxia, looking for a boyfriend early in the morning?"
Ji Ningxia rolled her eyes very spiritually, "You single dog doesn't understand."
Mo Xi, who was hated: "..."
Yu Ge suppressed a smile, and took a bite of the bread, "Sniper Emperor went out early in the morning, it seems to be someone's birthday at home."
"Oh..." Ji Ningxia nodded, and was thinking about calling Lin Zhi when the phone rang, looking at the word "Dad" on the caller ID, he took the phone and went to the balcony.
"How are you doing recently?" Ji Heng's slightly serious but deliberately soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
This has something to do with his father's occupation. Ji Ningxia's father is a professor at a first-class university in the imperial capital. He has practiced a lot of coaching career so that he will always be a little serious unconsciously, and he will show a gentle side when facing his son.
After Ji Ningxia's mother passed away, Ji Heng was both a father and a mother to his two sons. He couldn't be too aggressive, and he couldn't be too gentle. He had to grasp the degree so that the two children would neither lack love nor spoil them.
"Very good." Ji Ningxia replied, and then asked, "How is your health recently?"
"I don't have any problems with my health, but it's you. It's cold recently and you need to wear more clothes. When you were young, you were always disobedient, and you would go out in winter wearing a thin layer." Ji Heng rambled, and he said a lot of these words Years, I don't seem to feel bored.
"Understood." Ji Ningxia obediently agreed, "I will dress well, wrapped in a down jacket, and wearing autumn clothes."
The down jacket and autumn clothes are all thanks to Lin Zhi, who handed the clothes to Ji Ningxia every day for Ji Ningxia to put on, coaxing and kissing, which made Ji Ningxia willingly put the clothes on put on.
"Well, that's pretty sensible. It's almost Chinese New Year, how soon do you plan to come back?" Ji Heng was very satisfied with Ji Ningxia's performance.
"Two days before the new year, it's coming soon." Ji Ningxia replied, Lin Zhi's appearance appeared in his mind, Lin Zhi seemed to be alone during the New Year...
"Dad." Ji Ningxia called softly.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"For Chinese New Year, I want to bring someone back..." Ji Ningxia said cautiously. He had never brought anyone home since he was a child.
"Bring someone?" Ji Heng was obviously taken aback, as if he didn't expect Ji Ningxia to say that he would bring someone home, and then he answered almost without thinking, "Okay."
It seems that no matter who it is, he doesn't care who it is, he only knows that the person Ji Ningxia wants to bring back for the first time in so many years must be someone very important to Ji Ningxia, and he doesn't need to refuse, nor does he want to refuse.
He wanted to see what kind of person that person would be.
The two father and son chatted for a while, Ji Ningxia hung up the phone and turned around to see Lin Zhi standing behind him more than once.
Ji Ningxia was taken aback for a moment, then put a smile on her face, trotted over and hugged Lin Zhi, raised her head and said, "Brother, you are back!"
It looks as sweet as it should be.
Lin Zhi leaned over and kissed the corner of Ji Ningxia's mouth, "Well, I'm back."
"Brother, I have good news for you." Ji Ningxia tilted her head and said, her eyes sparkling.
"Huh?" Lin Zhi looked at Ji Ningxia with a smile, and rubbed his head, "What?"
"Chinese New Year, I'll take you home!!"
Take you home and meet your parents!
Lin Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed. He suddenly felt that he and Ji Ningxia might be a natural match, and to a certain extent, they had a terrible tacit understanding.
"Okay." Lin Zhi replied.
