Chapter 79
Shan Jingzhe came out with fruit, Chen Sui and her grandma were not in the living room, only uncle and grandpa were left, although he was puzzled, he put the plate on the coffee table without appearing, then sat down beside him, opening his mouth seemingly unintentionally : "Grandma and Suisui?"

The uncle bit a few grapes and stuffed them in his mouth: "The grandpa and grandson are back in the room."

"Oh, good." Shan Jingzhe sat up straight, set his gaze on the turned on TV, and focused on Chaogang's Cantonese dialogue.

The atmosphere quieted down for a while, and the "72 Tenants" broadcast on TV was the only source of sound.

"What does your family do?"

Hearing the old man's voice, Shan Jingzhe looked over subconsciously, and realized that the words were addressed to him when he saw him looking at him, so he could only say something confused, and the uncle looked at him only to realize that he didn't understand , translated for him with an accent: "I'm asking what you do at home?"

Then he explained to his father: "He still can't understand the vernacular."

"Oh." The old man replied, watching the young man speak nervously.

"My mother is a middle school teacher, my father is a veteran, and I am the only child in the family."

"You are fully aware of Chen Sui's situation. Your family members are also aware of it."

"I know, I've always known."

"Okay, you guys have made it clear about you young people. How to tell your parents about the situation is your business. Don't turn it around and say that we lied to you." The old man paused and continued: " See when your parents are free, find a time to meet, talk about you and that girl, and when it's settled, take that girl away."

"Find a time to meet with your parents and get married to Suisui."

The old man looked sideways at the boss who was acting as the translator, and Shan Jingzhe also looked at him and waited for his next words.

Chen Dongkai waved his hand: "It's gone."

So a long paragraph, so short?

Shan Jingzhe's eyes widened, and he recovered after a while: "I will talk to my parents about the meeting in two days. I originally planned to do so before I came here, but tomorrow...tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of my uncle and aunt. It’s not very convenient to say these things, so I didn’t mention them all the time, thinking, at least wait until this month is over before discussing the meeting between the two.”

"It's really inconvenient now," Chen Dongkai agreed, "Then let's wait until after Qingming. After Qingming, the two families will make an appointment to have a meal together and see each other."

"Ok."

Then it was quiet again.

It wasn't until Chen Rang and the others came back that the atmosphere became lively again.

While watching, Chen Rang sat back on the sofa and asked Shan Jingzhe: "How about Sui Sui?"

"Grandma took her to the room, but she hasn't come out yet."

"Oh." Chen Rang nodded: "How are you doing?"

"I can probably understand a little bit, but it's too complicated."

"Really? Come on, let me test you on an easy one." Chen Rang cleared his throat: "Good Lei."

"Hello?"

"Yeah."

"Huh? Just now?"

"Wow~ I'm home."

"Now?"

"No."

"I've heard this sentence several times just now, but it seems to have several meanings. Please, thank you. It seems to be called the waiter as well?"

"Yes, this word does have several meanings and can be used in many places. As you just said, calling the waiter means 'excuse me' and 'please help', and it can also be used if the road is blocked Said, the meaning here is 'excuse me', and then to ask others to help, you have to add an extra word 'wugaixian', which means 'thank you'."

"Oh!" Shan Jingzhe opened his mouth wide: "There are so many meanings!"

"Well~ not bad, the language talent in the voice industry is great, it's only been a while, and I can understand these, it's okay."

"Then if you look at me like this, when will you be able to fully understand it?"

"If you spare time, it should be about three days."

"Okay, then I'll stay up late tonight and try to understand more."

"Go to bed early at night," Chen Rang stopped him: "You're going to see your father-in-law tomorrow, cheer up, there's no rush."

"Oh."

Until it was time to eat, Shan Jingzhe stood in front of the dining table and stretched his neck to watch his aunt knock on the closed door. The door opened from the inside, and grandma came out first, followed by Chen Sui and grandpa. Sun and Sun sat down in the vacated seat.

Chen Sui raised his head to meet the gaze of Shan Jingzhe who was sitting opposite, pursed his lips, blinked, and sighed silently.

After eating, Chen Sui helped clean up the table and the kitchen, and then was dragged back to the room by her grandma and closed the door.

—Shan Jingzhe: What's going on?

Shan Jingzhe sent her a message.

——Xi Shan: Grandma said, before tomorrow, let me not go out again and stay in the room.

- Shan Jingzhe:? ? ?Why?
——Xi Shan: She said she asked someone to figure it out. My parents moved their graves this year, so I can't stay with unmarried boys.

— Shan Jingzhe: ...

Before he could finish his speech, he heard her grandma talking on the other side: "Chen Sui is staying here tonight, she will sleep with me."

The final word, there is no reason.

It wasn't until it was getting late that the uncle's family was ready to go back, Shan Jingzhe could only follow, and immediately reported to Chen Sui after leaving the door: We have to go back first, and come to pick you up tomorrow.

— Xishan: Mmmm, good.

——Xi Shan: The yogurt needs you to appease it. I hope it can stabilize its mood.

—Shan Jingzhe: It's okay, yogurt is very obedient, I told it that it understands, I will go back and bribe it with dried fish, if it makes trouble again, I will take it out together tomorrow, just for one night, it's okay.

——Xi Shan: Well, I can only do this first, you go to bed early at night, don't stay up late, you can watch movies and TV shows at any time, there is no rush.

—Shan Jingzhe: Okay, you should go to bed early at night.

——Xi Shan: Yes, I won’t tell you now, grandma called me, I’ll go and have a look.

—Shan Jingzhe: Alright, let's go.

Just as Shan Jingzhe was about to put away the phone, Chen Sui's phone rang again. This time it was a voice message, and he clicked on it: I will sleep with grandma at night, so I probably won't have time to send it to you, so I will tell you in advance, birthday hapiness.

The sound of the handset is not loud, but it still penetrates into everyone's ears clearly in the small compartment.

"That's right, tomorrow is Jing Zhe's birthday." Auntie's voice rang out in the dimly lit carriage.

"Yes," Shan Jingzhe nodded politely, "It's also Suisui's birthday."

"Hey!" The three people in the carriage sighed at the same time, and Shan Jingzhe replied to Chen Sui before turning off the phone and sitting up straight: "Sui Sui is so old, doesn't he have a birthday?"

"She had it before she was 7 years old, and she didn't want it after she was 7 years old."

"Uncle, aunt, brother, I want to hold a birthday party for Sui Sui, oh, the day after tomorrow, I want to surprise her, can you help me?"

"Okay!" Chen Rang turned around to support him when the traffic lights were in between.

"It's fine, but would Sui Sui be willing? After all, it's hard for her to experience such a thing on her birthday." Auntie was still worried.

"At that time, I will tell her that it is my own birthday party. Let her be there first. I know that this may be difficult, but I still want to try. She can't stay in the past forever. Uncles and aunts certainly don't want her to do this of."

"Well, ask your aunt out first tomorrow morning, let's discuss it, first make the sacrifice, and then look at what will happen on the birthday in detail, you are right, the years should not just stay in the past, the younger brother and younger siblings must I don't want her to be like this."

"it is good."

Chen Sui was urged by her grandma to take a bath. After washing her hair and washing her hair, she went back to her room. Grandma brought another set of bright red silk pajamas for her to change into. She looked at the clothes suspiciously and then at her grandma. Grandma Holding the storage bag at noon, she took out another spell from it, lit it with a lighter, put it into the water prepared in advance, and asked the ashes of the rune to melt into the water glass. She turned her head while holding it, and saw Chen Suisha Standing still, he was furious: "Change, why are you standing there?"

"Grandma, why change to red?"

"If you want to change it, you can change it. There are so many words, hurry up, drink the talisman water after changing it, and I will sprinkle seven grass water on you."

Chen Sui didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he changed his clothes neatly, took the water glass on the bedside, frowned and drank the talisman water in one gulp, put down the water glass, and looked at grandma holding the water basin, holding the water in her hand. Grabbing a bunch of grass, dipped in water and sprinkled water droplets to every corner of the room, he was still chanting, his voice was too low and Chen Sui couldn't understand what he was saying.

After spraying the corner of the room, he turned back in front of Chen Sui, dipped in water and sprinkled water droplets in a 360-degree circle around her feet, and slowly sprinkled them on her face.

Chen Sui closed his eyes subconsciously, resisting the urge to reach out and wipe.

"Okay, wash your hands, and when they are dry, go to bed and go to sleep."

Chen Sui opened her eyes, and took the basin of water carried by her grandma, as she did when she was a child, dipped it on the palm of her hand, then the back of her hand, then picked it up, watching her grandma go out with a cup and a basin of water, she slapped Yawn, waited for the drops of water on his hands to dry naturally, folded the set of pajamas he had changed on the bed and put them back in the closet, went back to the bed and sat down, yawned again, took the phone to check the time, gave the order Jing Zhe said goodnight, put down her phone and got into bed, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Yogurt didn't see that Chen Sui really got into a fight, and ran back to the room where he left it at noon in a fit of temper. Shan Jingzhe rubbed his head with a headache and sighed.

"Then Jing Zhe, you can sleep in Sui Sui's room tonight. I'm getting old and I can't stand it any longer. I'll go back to my room to wash and sleep. You guys should go to bed early." The uncle yawned and walked back to his room. .

"Okay, good night, uncle and aunt."

"Good night." The uncle yawned again.

"Ha~ Yawning is contagious." Chen Rang also yawned lazily: "There is a bathroom in Suisui's room, and the toiletries are all behind the mirror. You can use them yourself and go to bed early. I have to wash up and go to bed."

"Okay, good night brother."

"Good night."

Chen Rang waved his hand and went back to his room on his own. Shan Jingzhe went back to the room and closed the door. When he turned around, he saw Yogurt squatting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the moon outside. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw that it was him. Jumping down from the window, meowing around him, Shan Jingzhe bent down and picked him up from the ground: "Your mother was left behind by Grandma Ren, can I take you to find her tomorrow?"

The yogurt meowed twice, and Shan Jingzhe put it in front of the French window again: "It's useless for you to protest, and it's not that I want to keep her there, be good, I will take you to see grandpa and grandma tomorrow, and sleep well now .”

As he spoke, he took out his pajamas from the suitcase and went into the bathroom, familiarized himself with the equipment, and took a simple shower. When he wiped his wet hair, Yogurt kept squatting and sat in front of the French window. He sighed helplessly. , put on the towel, walked to the closet and opened the closet door, took a look, and took out a piece of clothes that Chen Sui had worn before, but now he obviously couldn't wear it anymore. Chen Sui's clothes and shower gel have always had the same smell, as if When it is used a lot, the yogurt can be put to sleep.

Before he was about to close the cabinet door, he saw the photo album and the DV player on the upper floor with sharp eyes. Driven by curiosity, he reached out and took it out. It’s about tonight, but you can’t pee on it or smell it, if you dare, I’ll whip you.”

Yogurt lowered her head and sniffed the clothes under her body. She relaxed her body after smelling the familiar smell, and her head drooped down together.

Shan Jingzhe rubbed his forehead, returned to the bed, opened the photo album he took down, and saw a wedding photo of a couple of newlyweds from a long time ago, with a look of old age in his eyes, it should be They are Chen Sui's parents.

"Hello, uncle and aunt. My name is Shan Jingzhe. I am Sui Sui's boyfriend. Don't worry, I will take good care of Sui Sui." He whispered his promise to the photo before continuing to scroll down.

Chen Sui's birth photos, group photos with her parents, older solo photos, photos with Chen Rang, Ye Zhi, Ye Chengxuan, and elders are all in this album, witnessing her first 25 years Half life.

There was also a boy among them, Shan Jingzhe took a long time to distinguish it before he could vaguely see from the little boy's eyebrows that this was a blue bird, and once he accepted this cognition, the more he looked, the more he looked like it, it was almost enlarged in proportion kind.

It seems that the photos when I was eight or nine years old began to decrease, and more of them were class photos and graduation photos.

Shan Jingzhe closed the photo, filled with emotions, took the DV player aside and turned it on, flipped through the archived video, clicked on the first one, it was Chen Sui's parents who began to record the situation and status of the pregnancy, when the clothes were lifted and exposed Belly, he closed his eyes tightly in fright, hurriedly pressed and exited, and kept muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After quitting, he realized that every VDR was actually signed. He rummaged through it, and finally locked on the video "The Full Moon of Years and Years". , he breathed a sigh of relief, and stared seriously at the little dumpling wrapped in swaddling clothes on the screen, seeing the child smiling at the camera, with a flawless and innocent look, Shan Jingzhe's heart melted, and he unconsciously followed the smile Got up, and kissed the screen from the air.

Every video after that is exactly as what Jade Bird said at the beginning. Shan Jingzhe watched with a smile as Chen Sui learned to crawl, stand, and walk step by step under the leadership of Jade Bird. The last video stopped before his third birthday. One day, Chen Sui's parents were still using vlog to record their daily life, and then they stopped.

Looking at it, Shan Jingzhe's eyes were red, and he re-opened the vlog of the second birthday. The second birthday hits the millennium. This birthday will be very lively, but it should be the DV machine that Chen Sui's father took. He sang The voice of the birthday song is the loudest, and the camera advances to the mother sitting on the sofa and Chen Sui, who is holding her in her arms and wearing a small birthday hat, giggles because of the surrounding atmosphere.

Shan Jingzhe looked at this scene in the camera, her nose was a little sore, if Chen Sui's parents were still alive, then she should be happy, bright, and scorching hot, instead of being cautious and flattering like now, not daring to Touch the sun.

At the end of the birthday song in the screen, accompanied by a sentence of blessings, the two-year-old Chen Sui, led by his mother, blew out the candles, and also received the most simple and beautiful birthday wishes from his parents.

"Every year we are, we want to be safe every year."

"We are year old, we want to be safe every year..." Shan Jingzhe repeated.
