Chapter 42 Another year

In the early spring, the peach blossoms in a small peach blossom forest on the back mountain of the village are blooming brightly, with some delicate petals floating in a faint pink color, which looks very beautiful from a distance.

However, it only looks good from a distance.

"I won't go there, even if I'm killed." Shen Letong said while hugging an old willow tree beside the dirt road.

"Aren't you ashamed, such a big man is still afraid of caterpillars?" Zhou Ruiyang said with one hand on his hips and the other lightly lifting Shen Letong's back collar.

"It's not that I'm afraid, I think those things are disgusting." Shen Letong frowned and said, "Don't you think they're disgusting? They crawl limply on the ground, and they look so ugly."

"What's that disgusting? It's delicious when you eat it roasted. That's called a charred outside and tender inside." Zhou Ruiyang said.

Shen Letong turned around and gave Zhou Ruiyang a resentful look, and hugged Liushu even tighter, "Go, go, go away, I don't know you."

"Hey, it's all right, don't hold it, the ants have climbed up your hands." Zhou Ruiyang said, stretching Shen Letong's back collar vigorously.

After hearing this, Shen Letong jumped up from the tree like lightning, withdrew his hand, shook his wrist vigorously with a disgusted expression, and complained while shaking, "Why are there so many bugs here, it's so disgusting."

Zhou Ruiyang smiled secretly, grabbed Shen Letong's trembling hand and patted it twice and said, "Okay, I don't feel sick to you anymore, I'll take you to buy some mountain goods when I go back later."

Shen Letong pursed his lips and nodded.

"You said you could be tortured like this by a bug, don't put on a bitter face, just smile." Zhou Ruiyang pinched Shen Letong's face and said.

Shen Letong rolled his eyes at Zhou Ruiyang, pulled the corner of his mouth perfunctorily, and let out a "hum".

Zhou Ruiyang sighed, expressing helplessness for Shen Letong's occasional childish temper, shaking his head and looking at the peach blossom forest not far away.It was in the evening, and the setting sun was warm yellow, forming beams of light through the layers of branches of the peach trees, which was somewhat unreal.

"Hey, we're all here, let's leave here after thinking about it." Zhou Ruiyang looked at this rare scene, patted Shen Letong on the back and said.

Later, this photo was taken by Zhou Ruiyang looking for a passer-by. Shen Letong set the shooting mode to continuous shooting. One of the photos was taken very well. The smiles of the two people are the same, reflecting the peach blossom forest covered with sunset light , The clouds in the sky are very light, floating leisurely.

This photo and the photo of the two when they were young were put into a photo frame and placed on the cabinet of the cabin, one on the left and one on the right, very harmonious.

"Hey, when we grow old, how about taking a photo with white hair and putting it in the middle of these two photos?" Before the two photos, Zhou Ruiyang asked Shen Letong from behind with his arms around Shen Letong's shoulders.

Shen Letong folded his arms and looked at the two photos, a smile inadvertently spread from his eyes, "Okay, let's see if you can still be so handsome then?"

"It must be handsome." Zhou Ruiyang said shamelessly, "With just my face and my willful silver hair, I won't be able to fascinate you by then."

Shen Le was happy, and elbowed Zhou Ruiyang's stomach, "Don't be smug, I will definitely despise you when you are old and wrinkled."

"You dare, it's against you." Zhou Ruiyang feigned anger, stretched out his right hand to hold Shen Letong's face, bit his lip, and gnawed deeply and shallowly.

At this moment, Zhou Ruiyang's phone rang, but he had no intention of answering it at all, and still held Shen Letong's lips tightly.

"Hmm... phone..." Shen Letong murmured twice from his throat, reminding Zhou Ruiyang.

"Hmm..." Zhou Ruiyang responded, but kissed harder.

Shen Letong had no choice but to feel in Zhou Ruiyang's trouser pocket with one free hand, took out the mobile phone that was ringing presumptuously inside, and raised the screen of the mobile phone to Zhou Ruiyang's eyes.

Zhou Ruiyang raised his eyelids and glanced at the screen, wanting to see who was bewildered and wanted to call at this time, but was stunned when he glanced at the caller ID, and then finally separated from Shen Letong and answered the phone.

"Hi, ma'am." Zhou Ruiyang said after answering the phone, and then he never spoke to the phone again.

Shen Letong was rubbing his lips behind him. From the back, it could be seen that Zhou Ruiyang's shoulders had slumped, which made Shen Letong quickly walk around in front of Zhou Ruiyang with some worry.

Zhou Ruiyang hung up the phone silently with his eyes downcast, and when he looked up at Shen Letong again, his eyes were red.

"What... what's wrong?" Shen Letong asked while supporting Zhou Ruiyang's arm.

"Grandpa, he... passed away last night." Zhou Ruiyang's voice trembled, "Ma'am said, it will be gone when you fall asleep."

After hearing this, Shen Letong lowered his head and took a few deep breaths, grabbed their coats from the hanger, threw Zhou Ruiyang's coat to him and said, "Let's go, we have to go there."

When the two arrived at the aunt's house, the aunt sat on the sofa in a daze, her face as lifeless as the concrete floor, even Zhou Ruiyang and Shen Letong didn't look up at them when they entered the room.

Zhou Ruiyang walked over, squatted in front of the aunt, gently squeezed the aunt's hand and asked, "Auntie, how are you? Where's the uncle?"

The aunt's eyes moved, and she looked at Zhou Ruiyang like the most helpless beggar on the street, and said in a voice that had changed: "Your uncle is still sleeping in the bedroom."

Zhou Ruiyang bit his lip hard, and glanced at Shen Letong.Shen Letong nodded, and walked towards the bedroom lightly. At the door of the bedroom, he saw that the old man was still lying on the bed, as if he was still sleeping.Shen Letong walked over and lightly touched the uncle's exposed arm. It was very cold and there was no warmth. This feeling scared Shen Letong. He wanted to scream or cry, but Zhou Ruiyang covered him right behind him. Q.

"We can't collapse." Zhou Ruiyang whispered in Shen Letong's ear, "If we collapse, what will you ask the aunt to do? Huh?"

Shen Letong calmed the shortness of breath just now, and nodded with red eyes, Zhou Ruiyang then slowly let go of him, and said: "Contact the funeral home, let's ask the aunt where she wants to bury the uncle."

"Yeah." Shen Letong responded, turned around and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

Zhou Ruiyang turned back to the aunt, and asked softly: "Auntie, do you have any other relatives? Can you still contact them?"

The aunt's eyes were empty, she was silent for a long time before she shook her head slightly.

Zhou Ruiyang sighed. From this angle, he could just catch a glimpse of the black and white photo of the old couple in their bedroom. The boy in the photo was smiling as brightly as ever, but he had lost the color of life and looked thin and powerless.

So at the old man's funeral, there were only three people present, Zhou Ruiyang, Shen Letong, and the aunt who was holding the black and white photo of the boy.The funeral was very quiet, and none of the three people cried, but the atmosphere of sadness here was heavier than any other funeral.The aunt quietly watched the uncle's coffin being pushed into the smelting furnace, and the calm expression on her face made the other two feel distressed.

"Thank you." After the quiet funeral was over, the aunt squeezed the hands of the two of them and said, which made the two feel sore.

"Mother, don't say that." Zhou Ruiyang said hoarsely.

The aunt glanced at the two of them, smiled, and hugged the urn tightly in her arms.This was the first time Zhou Ruiyang saw his aunt smiling after hearing the bad news, and he felt a tight pain in his chest, so he said quickly: "Auntie, don't be too sad, if you break your body from being sad, uncle can't beat me to death in the middle of the night ah."

Shen Letong poked Zhou Ruiyang quietly beside him, and gave him a blank look.

"No, that's not right." Zhou Ruiyang quickly changed his words, "Anyway, don't be too sad, there are us anyway."

The aunt listened to Zhou Ruiyang's words and nodded, but when she put the urn into the tomb, she burst into tears.

"Auntie..." Zhou Ruiyang wanted to comfort her, but Shen Letong dragged her back by the corner of her clothes. She took a few steps back and looked at her from a distance.

"It might feel better to cry, let's wait here." Shen Letong said in Zhou Ruiyang's ear.

"En." Zhou Ruiyang nodded, clutching Shen Letong's right hand, and put it in his coat pocket, "Then let's wait here."

The atmosphere in the cemetery was very sad, layers of pines and cypresses blocked the sun, a few birds flew by in the distance, and two irregular birdsongs sounded, Zhou Ruiyang looked up at the sky, and saw a thin cloud in the sky coming from It was slowly disconnected in the middle, and I don't know where it went. It has been a year in a blink of an eye.

A year later, Zhou Ruiyang and Shen Letong's life has improved a lot. Shen Letong's performance in the company has been very good, and his position and salary have also been rising along the way.Zhou Ruiyang's bakery has also expanded a lot of business. The little girl went to college as she wished, and only came back to help during the winter and summer vacations. Zhou Ruiyang hired some more employees, and even took down the old man's original small supermarket and opened a shop there. chain store.

Originally, the aunt wanted to give the small supermarket to Zhou Ruiyang, but Zhou Ruiyang refused to agree. In the end, she secretly remembered the aunt's passbook number and transferred the money from the store into the aunt's passbook.

After the uncle left, the aunt lived alone. Zhou Ruiyang and Shen Letong were afraid that the aunt would be bored, so they would always sit at the aunt's house in their spare time, chatting and joking with her. With these two people around, the aunt would never feel too lonely.

The home of the two has become more and more attractive, adding a lot of things that they wanted but didn't have the money to buy when they moved into the new home, including the big wine red sofa.The sofa usually came in, and the room seemed much smaller, but Shen Letong was still very excited, and slept on the sofa that night, so that his back hurt the next morning.

During this year, the relationship between the two has been very stable. Occasionally, there will be small frictions and awkward quarrels, but they both find it a bit ridiculous when they think about it later. Maybe life can be so calm all the time, maybe life can be It was always plain like tea, but Shen Letong called Zhou Ruiyang that day and said in a serious voice: "Zhou Ruiyang, I have something to tell you."
