Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Chapter 310 Butterfly: Rains Fall During the Qingming Festival (4)

Deng Zhonghai thought he was possessed by evil spirits.

The yellow butterfly on the back of his hand, claiming to be his son, did not move.

No matter where you look, you can't find any trace of Wang Defa.

[Dad, why did you live your life like this?! ]

[Dad, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again! ]

[Dad, say something!]

Deng Zhonghai rolled his eyes.

His disappointing son really liked to howl at the top of his lungs like this, and no one else could get a word in unless he finished speaking.

[Tell me, what color is the mole in your armpit? Is it on the left or the right? ]

[Dad, you are lying to me. Where are the moles under my armpits? They are all hair. There is a red mole on the sole of my left foot. When I was a child, you always teased me and said that my mother gave birth to a Monkey King and must have been poisoned by Zhou Xingxing! ]

Wang Defa flapped his wings gently, and the two eye-like patterns on them seemed to absorb one's spirit when stared at.

Deng Zhonghai's heart was in turmoil.

Including Wang Defa himself, only four people knew that his son had a red mole on the sole of his foot.

He, his wife, and his daughter-in-law.

[Son, it's really you... When were you born? Have you met your mother? ]

Deng Zhonghai raised his right hand, almost to his eyes.

[Dad, I didn’t expect to see you again!!! You probably don’t know, I’ve been reincarnated 52 times, and I didn’t stay in the underworld every time. How can I know about mom’s situation... I thought you two could live to be a hundred years old! ]

When Deng Zhonghai heard this, there was obvious disappointment in his eyes.

[Okay, okay, I'll go make something to eat. You... uh, what are you eating now? ]

[With your cooking skills, it’s better to order takeout! My mom loves to grow flowers and plants. I’m a butterfly now, and I can’t eat anything else you give me…]

Deng Zhonghai was stunned, and suddenly stood up straight, turning his head to look at the balcony -

There were several flower pots there, more than twenty pots of flowers and plants from three years ago, all of which were treasures that my wife had taken care of for many years.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to take care of them, and most of them died despite his careful care.

Now, there are only two pots of peppers left, which are dormant every year and bloom every year.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the peppers, which he had not taken care of for more than half a month, were still alive.

[Luckily it has rained recently. In a month or so, we will have peppers to eat again! ]

Wang Defa reluctantly landed on the small flower of the pepper, rubbed the pistil with his feet, lowered his head to sniff, and unexpectedly found a faint fragrance, which was completely different from the pungent smell of the grown pepper.

[Okay, don't run too far, we can chat later. If the wind starts to blow, just hide.]

?? ?

Well, the nagging old father made Wang Defa feel strange.

The speakers for square dancing in the small square downstairs have been set up, just waiting for the power strip to be connected to power so that everyone can start dancing.

[Hey, Sister Li, what are you looking at? ]

【Oh, nothing, nothing. 】

[Hey, Sister Li, I saw everything. That's the direction of Old Deng's house. My husband Chen said he saw Old Deng was discharged from the hospital and went home today. If you like someone, just say it directly. We are already this age, why are we still so reserved?! ]

[Yes, yes, Sister Li, we all support you! ]

A dozen old ladies who were keen on watching the fun started to make a fuss, attracting the attention of the old men who were playing chess in the pavilion.

[What are these women talking about? It’s so noisy that I forgot where this pawn was going to go...]

[Hahahaha, Brother Xiong, our chess game has just begun, don't be so stressed! ]

Sister Li smiled awkwardly, then quickly took the initiative to do the work and changed the subject with her actions.

The father and son on the third floor had no time to look down.

The kitchen range hood was not turned on, but the water was on and mist was rising.

With few ingredients, Deng Zhonghai cooked a bowl of noodles with bland soup.

The vegetables in the refrigerator were bought at the end of last month. All the food that should and shouldn’t be spoiled have gone bad, and black water is flowing from top to bottom in the refrigerator.

Wang Defa, covered in pollen, fell on the back of his father's hand again. He glanced at the flat noodles in the bowl and had no appetite at all.

Since childhood, the father only likes to eat flat and wide noodles. The mother and son are the opposite and only like to eat very thin dragon beard noodles.

There is no way to compromise on this point.

[Dad, did you add salt? Didn’t my mom never buy green onions and always go to the balcony to pick a few when cooking noodles? ]

Deng Zhonghai picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and slurped it into his mouth. It was bland and tasteless. It was indeed no improvement at all.

He sighed and quickened his eating pace. Although he was used to it, it was better to die early and be reborn sooner rather than later.

Anyway, the food in the mouth is just a formality. It will eventually enter the stomach, so just make you full.

[Do you think I don't want to? The shallots have all died a long time ago, and I don't know how to grow them. Last time I went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, I saved two bunches of fresh ones. The refrigerator door was not closed tightly, so they all went bad.]

Wang Defa: ヾ(．￣□￣)?゜゜゜

[I'll go take out the trash later and buy some groceries. Do you want to eat honey? The small flowers of the peppers aren't enough for you, right?]

[Okay, honey is fine. If you don't mind the trouble, buy some fresh cut flowers and put them in water for a while. They can live for several days. I can have them as a snack.]

Wang Defa didn't expect that his father would be misunderstood on the way back because of this request.

Because he was worried that the butterflies would fly away, Deng Zhonghai dragged a small shopping cart to the supermarket and bought a lot of meat, eggs and vegetables, enough to stay at home for a while.

He couldn't use his left hand, so he had to let it hang down, and he pulled the truck with his right hand, and he didn't find it very hard.

But someone felt sorry for the girl so he left the group of people twisting their hips and fanning themselves and ran over holding a silk fan.

[Hey, Old Deng, your hand is not healed yet, why didn't you ask for help to buy so many things? ]

When Deng Zhonghai saw the person coming, his ears felt hot and his heart beat faster.

[Little Li, it's okay, I just bought some vegetables, my right hand can still be used! ]

Little Li's face was red, and the dim street lights became the best protective color. Unless you looked closely, you couldn't see it.

The sound system in the small square behind her was still playing, and it was deafening, but the people who were supposed to be dancing, you held my shoulders and I put my arm around your back, and we squeezed behind a tree and peeked at her.

~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~~

[Shh, don't say anything. This couple is interested in each other, but they just don't want to make it clear. It's driving me crazy...]

[Who says it's not true? Old Deng's wife died, Old Li's husband died, and their children are not around. They are not too old, so it's great for them to just keep each other company! ]

There were more than just these few people gossiping. A few old men in the pavilion also moved their chess pieces to the side and turned their heads to watch the fun.

The person involved was completely unaware that he was being watched.

Deng Zhonghai couldn't resist Xiao Li's strength and finally let go.

[Old Deng, let's go. I'll take you back in less than two minutes! Oops——]

Sister Li screamed and pulled her hand back, with two small holes on it.

[You...you...didn't you say you were going to buy groceries? What's with this bouquet of roses? ]

[Old Deng, are you...re you going to give it to me? ]

Little Li's face flushed and her heart was pounding with excitement. She even forgot the slight pain on her fingertips.
