222 Will you come to play with me?
After hearing what I said, the two began to think about it. After a while, Fan Wujiu said he would go to the study, while Xie Bi'an said he was going to choose a wood carving with the best feeling of himself.
I wondered what gift I was giving, and I caught a glimpse of a plate of grapes placed on the table, thinking, Manzhu, don’t blame me, I am penniless now and have no gifts to give you, and I will give you grapes for the time being.
In formal wear grapes, Meng Po and others came, "Oh, are you going to give them away with such beautiful grapes?"
I turned around and pretended not to hear it, and continued to pick the best ones into the cloth bag.
"Zou Zhou, you know we haven't eaten yet, so give us a bunch." Meng Po had already reached out and looked at me with a smile, "Not much, just a bunch, let's try it out."
I thought to myself, I felt that it was too little to give it to you, so why did I give it to you for no reason? I turned my head and signaled that I would not agree.
After I loaded it up, I lifted a hook hanging on the door, took out an iron box from the cabinet against the wall, "The inside is the cookies roasted by Manzhu. Since you are hungry, eat some."
Meng Po reluctantly reached out and took the iron box. After opening it, she grinned as if she had seen something unsightly.
"If you don't like it, don't eat it. There is still some food in the pot in the kitchen. If you don't like it, you have to go hungry." After saying that, the two of them walked out with their own packaged gift boxes. I turned around and took down the grapes, just said, and went out of the Palace of Impermanence together.
The night sky seemed to be splashed with ink. At first glance, I couldn't see through it. It seemed that there was a layer inside, covering it alternately.
I held the grapes in my arms and didn't dare to use force. If they were squeezed out, it would be bad.
The cold wind rushing on my face made me shiver.
"Is it very cold?" Xie Bi'an turned his head and looked at me. However, I couldn't see his expression clearly at all. I felt a little gloating when I heard the sound.
I yawned a big yawn, "It's okay."
"Da Hei, are you cold?" Xie Bi'an blew and rubbed his hands, "I think Da Hei must not be afraid of the cold."
I didn't hold my mouth for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Someone actually entered the cold claws and stuck into my collar. My natural reaction was to shrink my neck and just grab a certain hoof.
"What are you doing?" I stayed away from someone and stood beside Da Hei, "Da Hei, he is just a crazy person."
"Don't say that, you can't go there either." Fan Wuxue said lightly. I was laughed at by someone.
"That's right? You are just a silly girl who even said I'm crazy. You, you don't know at all."
I retorted with it with my hips, and took advantage of the moment someone laughing at me, and reached out and put it into Xie Bi'an's coat pocket, "Well, it's quite warm. Dahei, come and warm your hands."
Fan Wujiu ignored me and continued walking, saying, "You two are quiet, don't hit others to sleep."
At this time, we were quieter.
"By the way, the winter solstice will be coming soon, right?"
Fan Wujiu nodded and said, "Well, it's the day of public rest again."
Xie Bi'an also came to join in the fun and said, "Yes, I remember when a girl came, she didn't know anything, and she was afraid of nothing, and she was so stupid."
Fan Wujiu laughed. I didn't say anything, but just recalled the winter solstice last year, and then remembered another thing.
"How old are you two?"
Xie Bi'an said "ah" and then said, "It doesn't count. There is no difference between knowing or not."
Fan Wujiu followed and said yes, and I continued to ask:
"But, don't you live in vain?"
"What's wrong with this? We won't die. Remember it's just a number. If you think so, it's better to remember something meaningful, what do you say?" Xie Bi'an said with a smile.
When I heard this, I thought it was the same. If I could keep living, I might not care so much about how old I was.
"If I were reincarnated in another world and became an ordinary living person, would you go and play with me?" This question was like a stone, thrown into a pool of water. Although it splashed and rippled, it was slow to respond.
My chin was next to the bag, and the excess rope of the tied bow was swept around because of the wind.
"No? Or does it?" I asked carefully, as if I were holding a newborn with both hands.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu stopped almost at the same time, pressed one of my shoulders alone, and said together: "No."
Then, I let go of my hand and continue to move forward as we did.
"That's it, okay. Just pretend I didn't say anything." I lowered my head, and the feeling of loss came to my face.
Xie Bi'an's hearty laughter forced me to look up, "What's wrong?"
A hand was gently placed on my head, which was different from any time before.
"If we go to find you, wouldn't it mean you are dead again? Look at your IQ, it really makes me worry." I could imagine that Xie Bi'an would look exaggerated and helpless.
"Yeah, I forgot, hahaha."
A burst of laughter ended this awkward and sad topic.
However, after a while, Xie Bi'an suddenly asked, "Zou Zhou." He hugged the back of his head with both hands and looked up forty-five degrees.
He called me seriously, and subconsciously I felt that something bad happened.
I raised my head and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Are you ready to come here at any time and return to the world that leaves you with regrets?" Xie Bi'an's words were a bit nonsensical. At least, I could feel this feeling of Fan Wujiu.
"Zou Zhou, do you think so?"
Sure enough, even Dahei asked me.
“…”
"If you don't say anything, I will admit it. You and Qingyang had the bowl of soup before. If I guess correctly, it should be Mengpo soup, right?" Another question that I didn't know how to answer.
"Yeah, yes." I admit.
"I know." Xie Bi'an sighed. He rarely sighed like this seriously.
"Even if I drink Mengpo soup, I can't become a living person for a while. Don't be upset, I didn't mean to hide it from you." When I explained, I was nervous.
"We understand, but if you have something to discuss with me in the future, so that we will be a family, right?" Xie Bi'an stopped and pulled my hand, followed by Da Hei's hand, "Come on, the three of us will pull the hooks and hooks. No matter who has anything to do in the future, we will discuss it later."
Two little fingers, the same warmth.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Uncle Xiaobai, Dahei, thank you." I tried my best not to let tears slide out of my eyes.
"Huh, what's wrong with you?" Xie Bi'an was very close to me. I just turned my head a little and saw his face, "It's okay, I'm just so happy."
He patted my head, his posture a bit like a basketball shot, looked at Da Hei and smiled, "Will others think we are stupid when they see this silly girl following us?"
Dahei cooperated quite well. After thinking for a while, he nodded with his chin and said, "It's probably OK."
We talked and laughed all the way and came to the door of the shoe shop.
I saw a row of fire-red lanterns hanging on the aisle in front of the door, and there were immortal trees and green cypresses on both sides of the door, full of vitality.
Xie Bi'an went up to knock on the door. When Wan'er saw that it was us, the smile on her face immediately bloomed.
"Please, please."
The shoe cabinets placed in the house were removed, and were replaced by cribs, cradles and walkers, and even puppets as tall as me.
I looked at me, my eyes were full of love, and I felt soft and comfortable in my arms, so I couldn't bear to let go.
"Girl, please spread your paws away. That's a child's thing, don't get it dirty." Xie Bi'an put down the teacup and came to scold me.
I rolled his eyes, "I like it very much, can't I touch it?"
At this time, the man named Zhang came down from the upper floor and saw that I couldn't put down the doll. He was so generous that he said that if I liked it, he would just take it away.
Of course, I am not as respectful as I am as good as obedient.
"I'm glad you can come, but now?" Zhang, the last person, said a little embarrassedly, and I quickly took the conversation, "That's right, our family is so popular. I thought, come here in advance to see Manzhu and the children. I wonder if there is a place for us to sleep?"
The Zhang surnamed quickly smiled happily and waved to Qiu Tian, "You are now taking two adults and Zou Zhou to the upstairs to see the room."
As we said that, we went upstairs, selected the room we liked, and went to Manzhu.
Her face was much rosy than the day she gave birth. I sat gently at the end of the bed and watched her holding the child.
"Do you want a hug?"
I thought about it, but I didn't believe in myself, "No, no, no, no, no."
Manzhu looked up and saw that I was a little surprised and asked, "Do you hate children?"
"No," I waved my hand with a smile, "I just worried that I would get rid of him."
Manzhu laughed a few times, "Don't worry, come."
I stood up and walked towards Manju, my hands stretched out could not help but tremble. I restrained my excitement and warned myself to be careful.
The child was holding it in the cradle, and the exposed little hand was like a piece of white and tender lotus root. The difference was that it was small. It was only one-third of the thicker than my little finger, and I didn't dare to touch it too much.
The child's head is quite lush and still black. Because when sleeping, his eyes are like hanging crescent moons. Sometimes his nose moves, and his mouth opens and closes, like a small fish.
"Manzhu, no more, hurry up, you can catch it." After the weight in my arm was lost, I was in a state of self-excitation.
"Zou Zhou, Who do you think this child looks like?"
"Um?"
I was just excited and didn't think about who I looked like. I got up and stared at me and said, "The eyebrows and eyes look like the surname Zhang, no, I mean, like Zhang Sifeng, and my mouth and nose look like you."
"Well, Wan'er and Qiutian also said the same thing. I'm thinking now, who would my daughter look like?"
"I will miss Zhang Sifeng even more, Manzhu, don't be sad."
