"Big brother, big brother, open the door, are you there, big brother?" The knock on the door was accompanied by a slightly familiar voice, mixed with two female voices.

I furrowed my brow and got up to open the door. In the wind and snow, three people appeared in front of me, it was Shi Guoqing, he was holding his daughter in his arms, and next to him was his wife, wearing a blue down jacket and carrying a bamboo basket in her hand.

"You ......" I looked at Shi Guoqing, waiting for his explanation.

"Sissi has never been to Lijiang, shouting to come out to play, just right, I remember that my eldest brother is here, so I brought them over......" Shi Guoqing looked at me with fear in his eyes, but overall. It's normal.

"Big brother, hello, I am the wife of this fat man, my name is Chen Lan." Shi Guoqing's wife stretched out her hand and said enthusiastically.

"Hello uncle, I'm Sissi." There is also a crisp voice, it is Shi Guoqing's daughter.

I suddenly became a little stiff, because I didn't know how to respond, my brain seemed to have been stiff for too long, and it would take a while to react, but in their opinion, it became indifferent, and Shi Guoqing's face was also a little stiff. I looked at Sissi, sighed, and reached out to pinch her little face.

"Come in."

The atmosphere seemed to come alive all of a sudden, Shi Guoqing responded with a smile and came in with his daughter in his arms. As soon as he entered, he looked strange.

"Big brother, the environment here ......"

Exactly like it had been a few months ago, hardly anything had changed, not even the key he had placed on his desk a few months earlier.

Hasn't he been out in months?

"I don't really like to go out......" I said lightly.

He nodded, and Chen Lan took out the contents of the bamboo basket, pork rib soup, sweet and sour pork, and a few dishes, and a smile all over her face.

"I came by plane, so I couldn't make my own things, so I had to find an old shop and buy some signature dishes. Please don't mind ...... big brother."

I nodded. I don't exclude them, and I move chopsticks with them.

Qian Qian is lively and cute, Chen Lan is virtuous and generous, I can feel Shi Guoqing's happiness from the heart, I almost lost it, now I know that it is precious, it is not too late, he proposed to drink, I shook my head and refused, so he drank alone with a wine glass, kept drinking, drank until he was drunk, he was red-eyed, hugged my leg and cried, Chen Lan wasted a lot of effort to drag him back, and kept apologizing to me.

"Why is Daddy crying?" Sissi asked me.

"He's happy." For some reason, I'm a little envious.

There is an empty room, but the bedding inside has long been damp, Chen Lan went out to buy three sets, one is for their family, another for me, and one is for spare, her carefulness, I saw it in my eyes, took out a jade pendant from the mustard seed bag, I called Qianqian, wore it with red thread, and wore it around her neck.

"It's a gift from your uncle."

Where do children know the quality of gifts other than toys? So he was a little dissatisfied, but he was seen by Chen Lan, this woman is very knowledgeable, she just glanced at it, she was secretly frightened, I gave her a reassuring look, she remembered that once Shi Guoqing was drunk and drunk, she had a big brother like a fairy...... Suddenly, I felt something in my heart and said to Sissi.

"You have to wear the jade pendant all the time, and you must not lose it."

This jade pendant was taken from one of the dead disciples of the Heavenly Poison Sect, it should be his family heirloom, it can cultivate temperament, and it can also prevent disasters for people, and all evil will not invade.

With such a jade pendant, Sissi's growth will be smooth.

Shi Guoqing's family only stayed for two days before leaving, and when the door closed, everything became silent again, and I suddenly found that the coldness in my heart was dispelled a lot.

With a light sigh, I began to get busy with other things, that is, throwing away all the CDs that I didn't like to hear, sorting out boxes one by one, and this process, I used more than a month, piling up CDs and tapes, and only a tenth of them remained.

Then I continued to sort it out, maybe I listened to it too much, and I got bored of it, and I threw out more and more CDs, and finally when I found out, there was only one CD left.

It's Li Zongsheng's song, I know this person, very famous, but even when I was studying, I didn't listen to his song, but I didn't have a choice, from then on, passers-by were surprised to find that the video store in the east only put one person's song, only as a fan of the singer.

If you listen to it, you will get bored, but if you listen to it, you will get used to it.

Life is so immutable, and then I open the door, and occasionally a guest comes to the door, and I will sell some audio equipment, but as for the money, I have no idea.

This winter, there was no snow, so I opened the door early, and I don't know what kind of mood I was in, so I sat in my chair and waited.

But until it was dark, there was no movement, and just when I was disappointed, there was a sound of footsteps, and the bearded Shi Guoqing came with his wife and daughter, and began to nag as soon as he arrived.

"The plane is late, I'm sorry, big brother......"

I smiled and greeted them.

The Spring Festival was spent together, and Chen Lan thanked me during the meal, she said that Qianqian was not in good health before, and since she wore the jade pendant, she had never been sick again, chattering, and saying a lot of kind words.

This is mostly the case with women, especially when I get older, I smiled faintly and didn't respond much, but poured two glasses of wine.

"Let's have a drink."

Shi Guoqing's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly took the cup.

Sissi puffed out her mouth: "Uncle is not a good person, my mother said that men who love to drink are bad people, Dad is, and so is my uncle!" ”

I was silent for a second, then laughed.

Laughing and laughing, I shed tears, maybe, I really can't go back, trapped in this small ancient town, my ambitions, my responsibilities, all the things that I remember, can no longer be seen, touched.

If Ning Qianhua can be with me and die in this ancient town, why not?

Only, there is no if.

They stayed for two days and then left.

Later, I became familiar with my neighbors, and occasionally walked around, and they liked to interact with me, because they were all in business, and I was generous, and there was no reason not to be good.

It's just that the things I bought are of little use to me, so I sent them to Sissi, and for this reason, Chen Lan called more than once to complain, saying that they had spoiled the child.

I just smile at that.

One year, two years, three years...... Decade.

Every year, Shi Guoqing's family spends the Spring Festival with me, and gradually, I have become accustomed to their arrival, and Shi Guoqing and I have also changed from the awkward relationship at the beginning to friends.

It's hard to believe that after becoming a cultivator, I will become a good friend with an ordinary person.

We drank together, and then he would get drunk and say that he had done something wrong and that he almost couldn't make up for it, and I was silent about that.

Sissi grew up, and in her junior year of high school, she didn't come, and called me to tell me that she couldn't.

In the next three years, Chen Lan did not arrive, because she had to take care of housework, and in addition, she was old and didn't like to travel long distances, so she only had Shi Guoqing, carrying a wine pot and a plate of peanuts.

He said that the old men will not pick up vegetables, so they will eat them.

He knew I didn't care about those things, and I wouldn't say yes.

The merchants on the street have changed batch after batch, familiar people, either sold the land and left, or they grew old, only me, always in this video store, I have not practiced once, standing on the street, also became rickety, in the twentieth year, Shi Guoqing did not come.

I looked at the dark night and dialed the phone, it was Sissi who answered, she cried and said, Shi Guoqing is seriously ill and can no longer work.

For some reason, my heart throbbed: "Birth, old age, sickness and death......"

He was not in good health and drank a lot, which was not a sign of longevity.

"You bring him here." Dead in Asia.

I say without a doubt.

With tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, Sissi murmured, "Uncle asked me to take my father over." ”

Chen Lan was also old, stunned, and then showed joy: "Yes, take him over!" ”

Sissi stopped: "But the hospital ......"

Chen Lan grabbed Qianqian's shoulder: "The hospital doesn't have to care about him, if there is someone in the world who can take care of your father, then it must be him!" ”

The mother and daughter forcibly took the person out and took them on the flight, Chen Lan asked Qianqian, why don't you like your uncle later? Don't want to see him anymore? Sissi thought for a while and asked, "Then why didn't you go later?"

Mother and daughter looked at each other, and then both saw what was in each other's eyes.

"He doesn't seem to treat us as family, although he is smiling, but his smile has no warmth......"
