Feed You Sweets - Chapter 24
Luo Tang did not leave, and he accompanied Wei Ruxia to the funeral of her grandma. It was already afternoon after the funeral. Wei Zishan arranged for the helpers and relatives to have lunch, and the family members were gone.
The small courtyard became lonely and deserted, and Wei Zishan fell on the bed tired.
Wei Ruxia couldn’t sleep, so she and Luo Tao went to the stream by the vegetable garden. The south is still warmer than the north. At the coldest time of the year, the icing is not thick. Put your feet up and break them with a gentle force. The ice is very clear and you can see the gurgling stream under the ice.
Luo Tang moved a stone, and Wei Ruxia sat on it, holding a wicker in his hand, sweeping it across the ice little by little. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her voice was a little dumb, she was humming a song with one hand resting her cheek. The song was sung by her very incoherently, as if she was reading it.
“I want to sing me to you, while I am young and like a flower now, the flowers bloom quietly, and decorate your years and my branches~”
Luo Tang has also heard this song. After the National Day school starts, Wei Ruxia will hum and hum when she does the questions smoothly. But back then, we hum happily than now. Wei Ruxia said that she learned this song for her grandma.
Wei Ruxia snorted for a while, and took the wicker back, as if she had re-adjusted herself, and turned back to Wei Ruxia in armor.
“Thank you Luo Yun, I thought I was the only one left in the world. Thank you for coming and staying with me.”
She said this in a very calm tone, trying to squeeze a smile as usual, but did not squeeze it out. Luo Yan looked into her eyes and pursed her lips, “I won’t let the world only be you.”
The girl’s newly recovered eye sockets turned red. She retracted her gaze, and the wicker was hitting the ice again and again, looking up at the noon sun. Her eyelashes were very long and dense, and the light brown eyes under the eyelashes were illuminated by the sun. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man who was not far away, who was the driver who came with Luo Yan.
“That uncle has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Realizing what she meant, Luo Tang looked at Wei Ruxia and asked, “Do you want me to go?”
This question hits the heart directly. In fact, she does not want to let Luo Tao go. She is not a person who likes to be accompanied by others when she is sad, but Luo Tao is not someone else.
Luo Tang can stay with her for a long time, not necessarily today.
Today is the day of her grandma’s funeral. It is also the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the new year, the day of family reunion and celebration. He shouldn’t be with her here.
Wei Ruxia didn’t answer directly. She folded a small piece of the wicker in her hand and said, “I’m a little tired, and I want to go back and see my dad.”
Luo Tao respected Wei Ruxia’s ideas, and he followed Uncle Li back home. The car disappeared at the corner of Zhenzizheng Road, and it took a long time for Wei Ruxia to look back and turn back to her grandma’s house.
Wei Ruxia walked very lightly when he returned home, and the wooden fence door opened and closed without creaking. Wei Ruxia entered the living room and was about to go to her room to sleep for a while, passing by her grandma’s bedroom, she stopped.
There was a very light cry inside, it was my father who was crying.
From returning with her grandma to burying her grandma, Wei Zishan did not cry. Grandma used to say that she was as strong as her father. They did look like her, but they were not strong.
Wei Ruxia stood at the bedroom door with her back against the wall. She remembered that when her mother died, she was crying like her father. But he is more pitiful than her, his parents both died. She still has a father, even though he doesn’t want to recognize her.
She remembered what she had heard in her dream last night when she stayed with her grandmother. She must take care of herself and dad.
Wei Ruxia was lying on the bed chaotically. She was awakened by the sound of the kitchen dishes. Looking at the dark roof, her throat was dry and sore, she rubbed her red eyes and got up and went out.
In the kitchen, Wei Zishan was squatting on the ground, picking up pieces of broken tiles on the ground one by one, and there were a few unselected green vegetables on the kitchen counter.
A dark shadow flashed at the door of the kitchen. Wei Zishan looked up and Wei Ruxia was standing at the door, looking at him.
Both of them took off their mourning clothes, only the cuffs were sewn with a white strip of cloth by the funeral mother-in-law. The father and daughter looked at each other. Wei Zishan stood up from the ground and said, “Are you hungry? The meal will be ready in a while.”
He overestimated the cooking ability that he had been complained about by his grandma. When he watched him pour the vegetables directly into the pot, Wei Ruxia walked in from the door and stood in front of the stove and said, “I’ll do it.”
It is the first time for the father and daughter to be so close, Wei Zishan is 1.83 meters and Wei Ruxia is 1.7 meters. She looks like him, very thin, long and thin, with unfading baby fat on her immature face, and despite her bold eyebrows, she is still a child.
His mother often told him what Wei Ruxia did. He didn’t listen very much, but he could leave a sentence or two. She told him at the time that Wei Ruxia bought him a book of recipes to learn from.
Wei Zishan’s eyebrows moved slightly, he got up and let go, and said, “Okay, be careful.”
After that, Wei Zishan did not leave the kitchen. The father and daughter stayed silent for an hour in this small place full of memories of the people they missed together.
Wei Ruxia finished the meal, and the two went to the living room. Wei Ruxia handed the chopsticks to Wei Zishan, and he took a chopstick into his mouth and chewed twice.
“Isn’t it delicious?” Wei Ruxia asked when he watched him not using his chopsticks.
Wei Zishan looked up at her, took another chopstick and ate it, bowed his head and said “It’s delicious”
Everyone’s cooking has a different taste for everyone. Wei Ruxia’s dishes taste very messy, but in such messy taste, there is a hint of the taste of mother’s dishes.
After eating, the father and daughter cleaned up the dining table. They worked in a division of labor, washed the dishes, and went out of the kitchen together.
Wei Ruxia wiped the water on her hand and wanted to go back to her room, but Wei Zishan stopped her behind him. Wei Ruxia turned her head, Wei Zishan looked at her calmly.
“Let’s talk.”
The two sat under the flower stand of Fujimoto Rose. The wind at night was very cold, but it was easy to make people sober. The father and daughter sat side by side, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard.
“Your mother told you about me?” Wei Zishan spoke first.
Wei Ruxia responded. She squeezed her thumb and said: “My mother only told me that you are DINK and don’t want children. I was born by her means. She is very happy with you. Being able to continue to have this kind of happiness touches your bottom line and ruins your life. You are innocent.”
Mother knows she is selfish, so she is responsible for her selfishness. She took her out of Ancheng and returned to Dongzhen, making her father think that she did not have a child. However, contrary to expectations, she had a terminal illness and she couldn’t let her be alone in the world, so she contacted her grandmother.
All mothers are like this, worry about the birth of their children, and worry about the future of their children after they die.
Song Suyun contacted her mother for her child Wei Ruxia, and the mother took Wei Ruxia back for her child himself. The ideas of the two mothers merged together, and in the end he and Wei Ruxia were left to follow their instructions. Thought to accompany each other and live the rest of the day.
He and Song Suyun were university classmates. Before the relationship, he and she had made clear his own ideas and principles of DINK. Song Suyun did not hesitate and agreed directly.
The two had a wonderful time together, and he even recognized her as his future partner. Unexpectedly, Song Suyun, who agreed with Ding Ke without hesitation, replaced the contraceptive pill he was taking, punctured the condom they used, and finally got pregnant.
Wei Zishan didn’t know what Song Suyun was doing behind his back. He even thought that his protective measures were improper. Although it was contrary to his principles, he still chose to be responsible for Song Suyun and his children.
But Song Suyun couldn’t pass the hurdle in his heart, and a showdown with him caused a fierce quarrel between the two. Finally, Song Suyun left without saying goodbye.
He has his own principles and does not want children. Song Suyun deceived him and broke his principles. The psychological shadow caused by such deception is huge, so that he still dare not associate with women.
Despite this “hiding in Tibet”, he knew that Wei Ruxia’s existence was a time bomb. When his mother brought her back, the time bomb exploded. It blew up his life and made him think of sixteen. I was deceived years ago.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place in his life, and his principles have been subverted. He did not want to accept it, but had to accept it.
After Wei Ruxia finished speaking, Wei Zishan didn’t speak any more. She looked at him and asked.
“do you hate me?”
The girl’s voice is not loud, but it is enough for him to hear. His thoughts pulled away from the endless memories, and then he faced the question.
Innocent people tend to embarrass another innocent person. He can’t find the culprit, so he can only vent this cowardly.
“I’m sorry.” Wei Zishan said.
We stayed in Yizhen for seven days with Wei Zishan, and after giving grandma the first seven days, the father and daughter returned to Ancheng. At that time, grandma’s body was sent back to Yizhen, and they didn’t have time to clean up the things in the hospital. After returning to Ancheng, Wei Ruxia went to the hospital with Wei Zishan, retrieved the clothes left there, and by the way also retrieved her winter homework.
It is less than ten days before school starts, but Wei Ruxia’s homework has just been the tip of the iceberg. Luo Tao has not returned from the mansion yet, and the way she asks about the homework is still the video with Luo Tao.
“Luo Tang, are you full?” Grandma asked Shen Zhenshu, looking at the unfinished rice in his bowl.
Luo Tang nodded lightly, pushed the chair in with the phone, and said, “I’m going to do my homework.”
After speaking, the boy turned and left the restaurant.
Seeing the young boy’s long back, Shen Zhenshu smiled with relief and helplessness: “I haven’t been so concerned about homework before.”
“Ruxia from the neighbor’s house is going to ask him again, right.” Yang Shuru smiled and explained to Shen Zhenshu: “Don’t pay attention to him, he will come back to eat when he is hungry.”
“Is the one who moved over during the summer vacation?” Shen Zhenshu doesn’t go to Luo Tang’s house very often, and Yang Shuru tells her everything. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship and often call to chat.
“Yes.” After Yang Shuru finished speaking, she said with a sigh: “Chu Yiruxia’s grandmother has passed away. Luo Tao went to accompany her that time.”
The young boy’s thoughts are often not hidden from the adults. It’s not an old fashioned thing to lie down. She didn’t click through, and just asked, “How about that girl?”
Yang Shuru smiled and replied, “A child with a very good personality.”
Wei Ruxia looked at Luo Tang’s draft paper and calculated the problem again. Luo Tang is a clever student and a clever teacher. He can even know where she got her horns, and then pull her back from there.
After finishing the question, Wei Ruxia looked at the steps on the paper and said contentedly: “It’s done, you have a look.”
After she finished speaking, she lifted the steps up to show Luo Tao, only a pair of eyes were revealed behind the test paper. On the screen, Luo Tang did not watch the calculation steps. He leaned back on the back of his chair and was looking outside. The profile of the boy’s profile is clean and smooth, with a beautiful chin connected to his slender neck, full of youthful air.
“What are you looking at?” Wei Ruxia asked.
Luo Tang heard her voice, glanced at the steps on her test paper, and said, “You got it right.”
After speaking, he got up from his seat, Wei Ruxia noticed that the screen was shaking, Luo Tao’s face was close to the screen in the video, and then she heard a sound of pushing the window.
As soon as the line of sight in the screen turned, Luo Tao adjusted the camera to the rear camera. With a “bang”, a firework burst into the dark night sky.
Wei Ruxia had never seen such a big firework. She said “Wow” and said with emotion: “It’s so beautiful.”
This firework is like a firework show, the fireworks explode in the sky in an endless stream, sliding down like shooting stars, reflecting half of the sky in red.
Looking at the fireworks, Wei Ruxia forgot the troubles in the math problems. She lay on the table, looked up at the fireworks on the screen, and called out.
“Luo Tang.”
Luo Tang’s voice came from the video, light and clean.
“Ok.”
Wei Ruxia smiled. She thought Luo Tang put her phone on the window sill and ignored her.
“I can’t see you anymore.”
As soon as Wei Ruxia’s voice fell, the camera reversed, and the young Qingjun’s face appeared in front of the screen again. The two of them looked at each other at a very close distance, as if they were really only separated by this thin screen, and they could touch each other’s face after being broken.
“I can’t see the fireworks anymore.” Wei Ruxia’s eyes curled and said to Luo Tang.
The mirror image inside the screen turned around again, with a “bang”, and another burst of fireworks burst.
Wei Ruxia smiled and squinted her eyes.
As soon as his mother’s affairs were finished, Wei Zishan went to work. He had to delay the performance during his mother’s illness, and now he must make up for it immediately.
Only herself was left at home, Wei Ruxia went back to study after dinner. Yesterday, I made up for the homework with Luo Tao’s video. She didn’t want to delay Luo Tao too much time with her family, so she planned to disturb her only at night.
As soon as Wei Ruxia went up to the second floor, there was the sound of ringing the doorbell at the door. The doorbell was crisp and regular. Wei Ruxia was puzzled and went downstairs to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Ruxia said “Ah” and opened her eyes wide when she saw Luo Tang standing at the door.
Luo Tang wore a black overcoat and still wore the black, white and gray checkered scarf. His white face was exposed, his thick eyelashes were dark and his eyes were shiny.
“I’ll take you to a place.” Luo Tao said, looking at Wei Ruxia, “dress warmer, it’s a bit cold.”
Wei Ruxia still didn’t react. She took a light brown coat from the hanger at the door, changed her shoes, and followed Luo Tao out.
There was a black car parked at the door. Inside the car was the uncle who sent Luo Tao to Yizhen last time. Wei Ruxia got into the car with Luo Tang and asked in confusion, “Where are we going?”
“Go to the back mountain.” Luo Tang said.
The nearest suburb to the Luofu Apartment is Houshan. It is said that it is a mountain, but it is actually a small hill. Standing on the mountain, you can see the night view of Ancheng.
This is also a villa area. Few people came up. After the car got up, Wei Ruxia got out of the car and watched Luo Tao move the things in the car.
There was no light on the mountain, Wei Ruxia turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone and saw clearly what Luo Tang had moved down.
It’s fireworks.
Wei Ruxia remembered last night.
Luo Tao took the match that Uncle Li handed over. He looked up at Wei Ruxia and arranged: “You stand back.”
Knowing what Luo Tang was going to do, Wei Ruxia smiled, then smiled, and then stood back. Luo Shan lit the fireworks, the core creaked, and after a while, the first fireworks exploded in the sky.
“Wow.” Without the barrier of the screen, the fireworks are even more beautiful in real scenery.
It’s not that Wei Ruxia hasn’t seen the fireworks, but she feels that the fireworks tonight are much better than those she has seen before. Sparks exploded in the sky, illuminating Luo Tao’s face beside him.
Wei Ruxia smiled and asked, “Do you take me to set off fireworks when you come back?”
She only wore a coat when she went out, and her hair was draped around her ears, which could not cover her long and beautiful neck. The fireworks exploded, illuminating the girl’s white cheeks, her lips were smiling, and her light brown eyes were bright and beautiful.
“Yeah.” Luo Tang took off the scarf from her neck, and he surrounded Wei Ruxia’s hair and neck.
On the mint-flavored scarf, the body temperature of the teenager was continuously transmitted to her body through the skin. She looked up at the teenager and the fireworks bursting behind him, listening to him.
“Now you can see me and the fireworks.”
The author has something to say:
I just want to write about my father. I don’t know why everyone scolded him. He is right or wrong. We may all have different opinions, but he will not be scolded.
Let me give you an example: If this is the woman DINK, the man lied to her and said yes, he also wanted DINK, and he deliberately made her pregnant after the incident, saying that I will raise her after giving birth. Of course, some people say that the father did not have children. This is not an analogy. But the child is indeed born, and he has a child, which is equivalent to ruining his principles. And he never said that he would not raise Wei Ruxia, it was Wei Ruxia’s mother who could not bear the psychological pressure after she deceived him, and finally left without saying goodbye.
Dink may not be understood by everyone, but it’s like you want a child, but the other Dink secretly sterilized and kept hiding from you, never having a child, then you still choose to be with him, and in the end he can’t bear the psychological pressure I told you. You just quarreled with him, and finally he ran away by himself. This kind of deception has caused you not to dare to fall in love with new people for more than ten years. Are you miserable?
Maybe I didn’t have enough pen ability and didn’t write carefully, but this is not because Wei Zishan abandoned her to raise her, or Wei Zishan deliberately told Wei Ruxia’s mother not to raise her after she became pregnant. Wei Zishan should not be scolded, he is quite innocent.
Tangtang: In order to let you see me, we will only use a fixed position in the future
Wei Ruxia: What posture? Use a fixed posture when doing what?
