[003 Chapter Night Talk]
After going home and taking a shower and sitting quietly on the sofa, Wu Pu's heart gradually calmed down. All the items in the house were so familiar. Sniffing the breath they emitted, his heart was warm, and there were lingering emotions flowing in his heart.
Some things will always gradually understand their value after they are lost. Once they are lost, they will cherish them even more when they face them again.
For Wu Pu, what he had lost was not only the simple things in the house, but also the atmosphere of the home and the care of his parents. Getting it has always been a dream scene, and suddenly it became a reality, and the excitement of losing and gaining it again was not that strong.
After experiencing too much, it is easy to distinguish the value of an object, but there are more than one valuable things in a person's life? Home is part of Wu Pu's concern and remembrance, and there are many things that he needs to find and cherish one by one.
In contrast, the stimulation of rebirth can easily fade and turn into the motivation to re-live.
I went downstairs to buy vegetables at the nearby market. On the way back, I met Liu Yuan, a silly boy. Wu Pu was one year older than Liu Yuan, but the two had a difference in grades. Wu Pu was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and Liu Yuan did not even reach the admission score of an ordinary high school. So the kid did not study again after graduating from junior high school and went to society alone. I heard that he did a good job later and was among the first teams to get rich first in Xiaojian Town.
After greeting each other for a while, they made an appointment to go skating in the square tonight, Wu Pu hurried home to prepare dinner. In contrast, reliving the warmth of the family of three was obviously more attractive to him.
Wu Pu has lived alone for fifteen years, and has been practicing eating, drinking, defecating and urinating by himself. Over time, he has practiced good cooking skills. He has made eight dishes, four meat and four vegetables, half cold and heat, and is arranged on the dining table. Just by observing the color, you can smell the beautiful taste.
As I remembered, my father had a good wine, Wu Pu found a bottle of bamboo leaf green from the cupboard and prepared a cup for himself. After everything was ready, the footsteps of two people came from outside the door.
"Dad, mom, you are back." Wu Pu opened the door first before the key outside was inserted into the keyhole.
Li Sushu took the lead in entering the door, changing his shoes while smelling the fragrance floating in the air, and said in disbelief: "Baby son, are you cooking?"
Wu Anqing also stepped in. He had already shaved his beard and had a smile on his clean face. He looked exactly like usual. With five million, the big stone pressing on his heart finally landed on the ground.
Wu Pu happily took the briefcase from his father and said, "You do it on weekdays. Today, I will serve you if I have nothing to do. I think it is to repay the loan in advance!"
Li Sushu always joked that her parents' raising grace was a loan to her son. Seeing that her son joked, she raised her hand and knocked her head on her head, and smiled and said, "You can only be considered a repayment of interest, drizzle--"
As she said that, she picked up a piece of ribs on the dining table and put them in her mouth, "Oh, it tastes pretty good. Baby son, where can I practice this craft? It seems that I can leave this part of the kitchen to you in the future."
Li Sushu's great-grandfather won fame in the late Qing Dynasty, and his grandfather and father wrote passionate articles during the Republic of China and the War of Resistance Against Japan. Born in such a family, her personality seemed to be uninfluenced. Unlike the Li family's strictness, she was a prosperous woman. She had been a teacher for more than ten years, and although her personality had irreversible indifference and arrogance, in her own house, she was just a warm wife and a humorous mother.
If it weren't for the father's suicide, I think my mother wouldn't have become depressed and ended up in depression, right?
Looking at his mother's back washing hands in the kitchen, Wu Pu sighed while filling his father's wine glass with wine, and then poured himself half a cup.
"Have you learned to drink?" Wu Anqing felt a little upset when he looked at his son's skillful movements. Today's son has become very different from before. If he hadn't looked exactly like that, he would have thought that this son was pretending to be someone else.
Wu Pu seemed to guess what his father was thinking, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Today is a special day, so I want to drink some with my father, just as a celebration."
"Then pour me a cup, let's celebrate with our family of three." At the same time, Li Sushu came out of the kitchen and brought the cup over himself.
Both his wife and children picked up the wine glasses, and Wu Anqing stopped saying anything, sniffing a bite of the dish, and then asked, "Xiao Pu, did you buy the lottery?"
"Yes, I bought it yesterday. I went to my second aunt's store to sell popsicles at noon today. I looked at the winning numbers and felt like I won. I didn't understand it very much, so I gave it to you." Wu Pu put down the chopsticks in his hand, "By the way, dad, did you really win?"
"I won, and I won the grand prize!" Wu Anqing went to school to pick up Li Sushu when he got off work, and Li Sushu already knew about winning the prize. The stolen ancient paintings made the couple very difficult. At first glance, he heard that he had won five million, and Li Sushu's excitement was evident. She suppressed her excitement until now, and it was quite rare.
She hugged her son in her arms and said, "Son, you are a lucky star in our family. How many teachers in our school buy it every time, and it is rare to win a few times for five yuan. You won the special prize in one go, five million, which is amazing. Son, tell me, have you touched something before buying the lottery?"
"No?"
"What did that happen?"
“No, either.”
Li Sushu doesn't have much idea about money, not to mention that the five million people came in time, so she could buy the stolen ancient paintings, and in the end she just turned around and slipped away from her house. So Li Sushu's excitement passed quickly, and the rest was glad that she could escape the disaster. It was just a joke to joke with her son. Seeing that her son did not cooperate, she became a little disappointed, "That's not your credit, it's my mother who gave birth to you well."
After hearing this, Wu Pu and Wu Anqing were stunned at the same time, looking at each other with a bitter smile and shook their heads. One sighed that such a mother is so magical, while the other sighed that such a wife is so unsure.
The dinner was quite pleasant, and it passed by Li Sushu's laughter from time to time. After the meal, Wu Pu joked with his mother, and then went out to go to Liu Yuan's date.
Looking at the back of his son going out, Wu Anqing's doubts lingered in his heart and couldn't get rid of it. It was not until his wife changed into pajamas and stood at the door of the bedroom, and then she came back to her senses.
…………
In the master bedroom, Li Sushu gently closed the door, walked to the bed and leaned into her husband's arms, with a little bit of dew rippling in her beautiful eyebrows.
Smelling the faint fragrance that swam out between his wife's hair, Wu Anqing gently whispered his delicate face, and his heart was filled with scents. If he really committed suicide, what would this family become?
Li Sushu stroked her husband's chest and saw that he was absent-minded, she grabbed the soft flesh on his waist with resentment, but her plain face looked like a peach blossom in early spring, gradually blooming. "A beautiful flower is held in your arms, do you have any other thoughts?"
Wu Anqing smiled embarrassedly, looked at the confused love and color in his wife's eyes, slowly leaned over, gently holding the two red and beautiful lips.
The room was soon covered by a low voice. It was already an old couple. The shyness between the man and the woman had already transformed into a strong tacit understanding of the skin. There was no need to deliberately exaggerate the prelude. Everything just happened as it should. The two souls worked tacitly with deeper emotions. The light breaths carried all the feelings between the two, without the earth-shaking shouts and shouts. It was like the stream after the winter snow melted, which once again flowed west. No matter where the end was, it flowed slowly and sang cheerful songs in a low voice. This was all.
This kind of joy can be forgotten by time!
When the room fell silent again, the night outside became even quieter. The happy couple looked at each other with their eyes wide open in the boundless silence. After a long time, the husband gently pecked on the satisfied wife's forehead and whispered: "Su Shu, do you think our son has changed?"
Li Sushu thought about it and said, "No, isn't he still like that?"
Wu Anqing said: "No, I think our son has changed. When he came to me at noon, his eyes seemed to have changed."
"What's it like?"
Wu Anqing shook his head and said, "I can't say it either. His eyes were as if he had a great enlightenment after experiencing a lot of hardships. It's very complicated. By the way, have you told him about the stolen ancient paintings?"
Li Sushu beat her husband's chest and said, "You think I'm stupid. How old is he? He's not going to high school on September 1st. What's the use of telling him? Besides, if you want to scare him, how can you find such an obedient son?"
Wu Anqing pondered: "But I think he seems to know. And don't you think the lottery is strange? It just appears when we need money the most."
Li Sushu said angrily: "What's wrong with it? It's sports lottery. The national lottery will be won. If we win, we will win. Our son is still able to go to the General Administration of Sports Lottery?"
