Although Li Shiyi's voice was not loud, it was very clear in the quiet corridor.
Hearing her daughter's words, she who had other thoughts just now showed a look of disappointment. She shouted in surprise and then muttered with regret.
"It's a pity. If that young man doesn't have a partner, you can still fight for it."
"Stop talking about this."
Arriving at the floor where her home was located, Li Shiyi turned around and interrupted her mother's murmurings. She didn't want him to say these words in front of Liu Weicheng.
He opened the door with the key and led the two of them into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw two figures on the sofa.
While going downstairs to look for his parents, Liu Weicheng, who was staying alone in the living room, seemed to be afraid that his daughter would be lonely when she returned to the room alone. At this moment, he was holding a graffiti book he had dug out from somewhere and getting along very harmoniously with Yunyun.
Looking at their daughter standing in front of Liu Weicheng, lying on the table and drawing in a notebook, when they heard the sound of the door opening, the two of them, who were enjoying themselves, turned their eyes to the door at the same time.
"Mother!"
After shouting, Yunyun immediately put down the paintbrush in her hand, got out of Liu Weicheng's arms, and quickly ran towards Li Shiyi's arms.
Li Shiyi hurriedly reached out to hug the child and ensured that the child was standing firmly before Li Shiyi asked in a coaxing tone.
"Are you good just now? Did you listen to your uncle?"
"Yeah, Yunyun is obedient!"
Yunyun seemed to be in a very good mood as she answered with her little head held high.
He kept talking about how Uncle Niu took her to paint after her mother left. After Yunyun's excitement subsided a little, he pulled her daughter away from her legs.
Then he revealed his parents who had remained silent all this time.
"This is your grandpa, this is your grandma, do you remember?"
"I don't remember..."
Yunyun shook her head and looked at the two of them with a sense of unfamiliarity. After all, the last time she saw her grandfather and her grandfather, she was just a little baby who couldn't even walk steadily.
Even when her grandparents extended their hands to show their kindness, she was a little afraid of strangers and still tightly grabbed her mother's clothes and hid behind her.
The scene was awkward for a while, but it was also expected.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After the communication between Li Shiyi and her family lasted for a while, Liu Weicheng, who had been silent all this time, stood up from the sofa.
Not long ago, I had greeted Li Shiyi's parents downstairs, walked up to the three of them, and continued.
"I still have things to do in the afternoon."
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"No."
Faced with Li Shiyi's invitation, Liu Weicheng chose to refuse.
After saying hello, he opened the door and left Li Shiyi's home. The four members of the family watched him leave, and waited until the movement outside the door and going downstairs completely disappeared.
Only then did the woman speak.
"It would be great if I don't have a partner. I just happen to be with Shiyi..."
"mom!"
"I know, I know, I just won't mention it."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Li Shiyi calling her, and she hurriedly closed her mouth for fear of being disliked by her daughter.
Slowly looking away from her mother, Li Shiyi looked at the door again.
One person was in a daze, a little lost in thought.
——————————————————————
After leaving Li Shiyi's home and returning to the car, Liu Weicheng let out a long breath.
When it comes to other people's affairs, no matter what decision Li Shiyi makes in the end, he, an outsider, should not interfere.
Early in the morning, I picked up my aunt and her family from her hometown in the county. Currently, my aunt is still taking care of the luggage in the new house, while the two cousins followed her home to play with Zhao Xuanying not long ago.
Liu Weicheng, who left Li Shiyi's house, did not choose to go home, but instead drove to the location of his new house.
After driving for about half an hour, Liu Weicheng drove into the parking lot and took the elevator to his new house.
The door was open, and the moving employees who were coming in and out were moving furniture into the house.
At first, Liu Weicheng wanted to buy all new furniture, but his aunt said not to waste money, so he used some old furniture from his hometown. Except for the kitchen stove and the bathroom toiletries, which were new,
The other items in the room are basically old furniture from my hometown.
Entering the room, the living room alone is larger than the area where he lives now. The balcony also has good lighting. In terms of scenery, since there is no obstruction from tall buildings, you can see the street scene directly from upstairs.
.
In future generations, an ordinary person might have to struggle for most of his or her life to acquire such a house. Although today's house prices are very expensive, they pale into insignificance compared with future generations.
"Is the house not bad?"
The bedroom was almost tidied up, and Hao Yufen, who was cleaning with a broom, didn't even notice her nephew approaching.
Hearing such a question unexpectedly, I was shocked for a moment.
When he turned around and saw that it was Liu Weicheng, he raised his hand and said something to his heart.
"You kid doesn't make a sound when you walk... Not only is it pretty good, I saw it when I came here. There is a shopping mall nearby, and it's also quite close to the school."
It was obvious that Hao Yufen was very satisfied.
Detouring around the door, he poured all the dust from the ground into the trash can. He first put the cleaning utensils on the wall, and then walked towards the house.
He took out a large box from the corner stacked next to the bed. After opening it, he opened the drawer under the bedside table and put it inside one by one.
"What did you put there?"
"There are other important things in my family's household registration book. You see, I still have the photos I took of you when you were a child."
Put in the drawer together with the household registration book is a photo of Shu.
Because it was not bound in a photo album, I just put it in a bag, opened the fastener, and took the photos out of the bag and placed them on the bed.
I picked up the photos and flipped through them. Photos of the whole family were among them, and there were even photos of Zhu Shushu shortly after she was born.
It’s not difficult to tell just from the photos how long ago it was, it’s been more than ten years now.
"Look at how you looked when you were a child. You always had a sad face, and you looked unhappy when you went out to play..."
Pulling out the photos of Liu Weicheng when he was a child, Hao Yufen muttered softly with a nostalgic look on his face.
Time flies, Liu Weicheng in the photo is still a seven or eight-year-old boy, and now he has grown up in the blink of an eye.
"I still remember when I first picked you up."
"Why don't you buy a photo album to put the photos at home?"
"In the photo album, your sister sometimes saw it and liked to look through it, so she just put it in a bag."
Thinking that a few years ago, Zhu Qinqin always liked to take out the photos in the album and put them in random places, Hao Yufen always suspected that her little daughter was born with the wrong gender.
Otherwise, why would a girl be so noisy?
While Hao Yufen was missing her alone, Liu Weicheng picked up a few photos and looked at them.
Every time I see a photo from the past, the memory that I had almost forgotten becomes clear again.
After a few pictures in a row, more and more responses from my childhood came to mind.
This feeling makes Liu Weicheng a little novel. After all, it is like watching other people's experiences...
"Um?"
The hand that was flipping through the photos suddenly stopped, and Liu Weicheng was suddenly stunned.
