When he received the call from Zhan Jiyu, Ding Xiaowei looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sighed and pressed the call button.

"Hey, Uncle Ding."

"Um."

"How are you? Have you gone?"

Ding Xiaowei said silly: "No."

Zhan Jiyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "Then you..."

"I don't plan to go anymore. He and I are not from the same world, so that's it."

Zhan Jiyu's voice was filled with joy, "Really? Uncle Ding, you can think so. I, I know you are not feeling well now. I'll bring some wine and let's have a few drinks."

"Okay, come on, I'll buy some food. You like to eat taro, right? Lingling also likes it. If you come, you can have fun with Lingling."

"No problem, no problem!" The child seemed quite happy, "I'll go there right after work."

Ding Xiaowei hung up the phone and his fingers began to unconsciously flip through the phone number book. When he flipped into the three words "Zhou Jinxing", his finger pressed the delete key. A small dialog box quickly popped up on the screen, two simple options, "OK" and "Cancel".

Ding Xiaowei's fingers began to tremble. He struggled for a long time, but he could not press "Confirm". He threw the phone into the passenger seat and leaned against the back of the chair with his eyes closed.

Ding Xiaowei was washing vegetables at home in the evening, and Xiao Zhan came over with a little wine and cooked food.

Lingling was already familiar with him, and she was still very happy to see him, so she asked him to hug her when she came up.

Xiao Zhan hugged Lingling into the kitchen and saw Ding Xiaowei washing Shanghai Qing cleanly on the plate. The leaves were covered with water droplets. The green space was green and tender and white, which looked very attractive.

Ding Xiaowei turned around and smiled at him, then said to Lingling, "Daughter, you are so heavy now, don't always ask people to hug you."

Zhan Jiyu hurriedly said, "It's okay, it depends on what you said. Do I have not had this strength yet?" As he said that, he also entrusted Lingling up.

Ding Xiaowei looked at Zhan Jiyu with some amusement. He saw that the child was not very energetic. He remembered that Xiao Zhan told him that there were many brothers and sisters, and he had never done any work since he was a child. Everyone in his family spoiled him very much. No wonder his personality was so simple and cheerful.

He was afraid that Zhan Jiyu would not be able to hold him for a while, so he said, "Put her down and help me pick vegetables."

"Oh, okay." Zhan Jiyu put Lingling down, "Lingling, there are toys I bought for you in the plastic bag brought by my elder brother. Go and have a look."

The little girl ran away happily.

Zhan Jiyu stood beside Ding Xiaowei, peeling potato skins while secretly looking at Ding Xiaowei with his eyes.

After a while, Ding Xiaowei discovered it. He couldn't help laughing, "What are your big eyes squeezing? Just say something if you have something to do."

Zhan Jiyu smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle Ding, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, and I feel better."

Ding Xiaowei grinned, "Don't worry, your Uncle Ding is already over the age of dying for love. It's okay, whoever leaves can't live without."

Zhan Jiyu blinked, "Really, can you forget him?"

Ding Xiaowei frowned and said, "Sooner or later... No, can we stop mentioning this? I'll be angry with him."

"oh……"

The two were silent for a while, and Zhan Jiyu said again: "Uncle Ding, will I not call you Uncle Ding Cheng in the future? Will you call Brother Cheng?"

"Why?"

"Call you call you old. What kind of seniority are we? You are only in your early thirties and are young and middle-aged. Why do you have to call me your uncle? Is it okay to call me brother?"

"Don't, don't call me brother. I'll have a headache if I call me Brother Ding."

"... Look, you still can't forget him."

"You little boy is over, right? I've just been raising a dog for half a year. I'm still sad if I lose it, let alone a person. I have to have some time to slow down. Did you deliberately stimulate me?"

Zhan Jiyu smiled, "No, you don't want to, I'm still calling you uncle awesome."

Ding Xiaowei shook his head helplessly, and when he thought of the person who once slapped "Ge Ding" in the kitchen, his heart ached.

Whether he really forgot him or fake him, it can neither change the fact that he is already married nor shorten the gap between their identities. He does not want to worry about the truth or falseness of Zhou Jinxing anymore.

Half a year of investment and dedication was nothing more than a waste of money. Even if he was disappointed and sad, he would not dare to admit that he would be sad all night for love and love. He didn't even have a person to talk to, because if his friend came to cry and tell him about his broken heart, he would probably comfort him a few words of ease, and then put the conclusion, "Can that thing be eaten as a food? If it's gone, it's gone."

Yes, can love and love be eaten? There are too many more important things in life that need to be concerned about, such as salary, social security, children's schooling, and parents' pension.

He is a man with old and young men. He has no shame in being in a slump for these children, so he can only force himself to forget as soon as possible.

Ding Xiaowei's cooking was really not very good, but in the end, Zhan Jiyu made a few delicious dishes.

While eating, Lingling was amused by Zhan Jiyu, and her face turned red and cute. The girl who usually could only eat half a bowl of rice ate a whole bowl today.

Ding Xiaowei found that Lingling would be happy as long as there were people to accompany her. This is the case for children. He works all day long and has no time to play with her. No wonder she missed Zhou Jinxing so much. If someone could accompany her frequently, she would not be so lonely and would not miss her Uncle Zhou all day long.

Ding Xiaowei couldn't help but have the idea of ​​finding a mother for Lingling, but as soon as this thought began, Zhou Jinxing's face immediately appeared in his mind, and Ding Xiaowei felt uncomfortable.

After dinner, Zhan Jiyu played with Lingling in the living room, and Ding Xiaowei was washing dishes in the kitchen.

He heard the sound of the building blocks falling down, and then Lingling laughed vaguely.

Not only did he turn around, Zhan Jiyu sat on the ground with his back to him, just like the position where Zhou Jinxing often sat.

For a moment, Ding Xiaowei felt a little dazed, as if they hadn't changed together, as long as he turned around...

The man with his back to him turned around and smiled and said to him, "Uncle Ding, hurry up, I bought a puzzle, let's play together."

Ding Xiaowei was stunned, looking at the young and energetic face, he suddenly felt a piercing pain.

He had never been sober as he realized that Zhou Jinxing would never come back like he is now.

After Lingling went to bed, Zhan Jiyu placed a row of beer on the coffee table, opened it one by one with a bottle of boiler, then raised a bottle and pushed it in front of Ding Xiaowei, "Come on, Uncle Ding, I'll have fun with you today, I won't go to work tomorrow anyway. After drinking, let's forget that grandson."

Ding Xiaowei smiled and took the wine bottle and bumped it into him, "Okay, forget that grandson."

The two of them drank a big mouthful of the bottle.

Seeing that Ding Xiaowei was drinking and not talking, Zhan Jiyu asked him to talk to him, telling him how naughty he was when he was a child.

Ding Xiaowei nodded while laughing, but actually didn't listen to anything.

Seeing that the bottles of wine were empty, both of them were a little dizzy.

Zhan Jiyu burped, looked at Ding Xiaowei's face that was red when he was drinking, and then touched his hot face. He felt a gust of blood surging in his body. After several days of preparation, he forgot everything in an instant. His only thought now was to hug Ding Xiaowei.

But he didn't dare in the end, but asked around Wan'er: "Uncle Ding, are you planning to find him again?"

"... Looking for it, why don't you look for it... If I don't look for it at my age, can I die of old age?"

"Do you have the right one around?"

"No..." Ding Xiaowei looked at the transparent wine bottle in a daze, "This... depending on fate, ordinary women look down on your Uncle Ding. After finally someone fell in love with him, he is still a man, or a heartless man. Fuck, what luck is I going to leave? Not only does the woman run away, but the man also runs away... Xiao Zhan, do you think your Uncle Ding is useless?"

Zhan Jiyu said anxiously: "How could it be? I think you are very good. They will lose it if they leave. They will regret it in the future."

Ding Xiaowei laughed twice, "You little boy, you really know how to talk... Yes, let them regret it..." As he said that, he raised his hand and touched Zhan Jiyu's big furry head.

Zhan Jiyu felt his blood surge, and with the alcohol, his courage grew bigger, and he said with a whisper, "Uncle Ding, you, do you think, look, I, I, can I do this..."

Ding Xiaowei didn't understand and frowned and said, "What?"

"Me!" Zhan Jiyu pointed at himself, "Can I do it?"

Ding Xiaowei was stunned, "What can you do?"

Xiao Zhan stopped talking, but looked at him with some grievance.

Ding Xiaowei's face became hot and he suddenly became much more awake, "You, don't you mean that, aren't you?"

The child's face was also flushed, "...Uncle Ding, originally, I thought you two were pretty good, I just envious, I didn't think about what to do, really. But now, you are over, can I have a chance?"

Ding Xiaowei felt dizzy and he couldn't understand why he was so prosperous this year, and he was still a hero.

He felt his throat dry and hoarse, and quickly took a sip of wine, and then said earnestly: "Little Zhan, you are too young..."

Zhan Jiyu interrupted him and said, "Stop, I know what you are going to say, this doesn't work... You, you don't like me, I know... But, I will grow up, right? And I can do it in Zhou Jin's guild, you see, I get along well with Lingling. Uncle Ding, it's not easy for you to raise children alone, let me help you. I do, I really, really, really, like you very much."

Ding Xiaowei felt a split headache, "No, Xiao Zhan, let me tell you this. When I was at your age, I could like several girls a year. I ignored me and replaced the other one. It was not until I was 25 or 26 that I felt that I could get married and I could calm down. What I mean is that you are so young and you don't have a long life. I can't fall in love with a child, and you shouldn't waste time on me."

Xiao Zhan looked at him without blinking, and his eyes gradually became a little wet.

This scared Ding Xiaowei, "Don't, I warn you, don't cry, wait until you wake up tomorrow and you promise to regret it."

When a person drinks alcohol, he can do anything embarrassing. He also feels that he is really fucking, and he regrets it when he wakes up the next day.

Xiao Zhan shone his eyes and said, "It's not that I'm willing to be so much younger than you. I'm in the rainy season. If you are kind to me, you will take advantage of it no matter how you say it's all you want... You look down on me, why do you treat me well? I don't know anyone here except my uncle's family. I don't like who you like, what do you treat me well..." In the end, the child felt more and more aggrieved and actually started to cry.

Ding Xiaowei was dumbfounded and stood there.

Xiao Zhan looked at Ding Xiaowei with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Ding... I can cook, I can coax Lingling, don't you consider it..."

Ding Xiaowei nodded in a daze, shook his head again, "You, you've drunk too much. Okay, you can stay here tonight, go to bed quickly, get up tomorrow morning and say, ah."

Xiao Zhan wiped his tears and looked at him with bright big eyes, "Live here? Where can I sleep?"

Ding Xiaowei saw the strange light flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but pat his head, "What the hell are you thinking about in your little head? Sleeping on the sofa!"

Xiao Zhan lowered his head in disappointment and sobbed again.

Ding Xiaowei didn't expect that his wine tasted so bad. If they were outside, he would knock people out and fight back, so as not to be embarrassed.

Ding Xiaowei drank a lot himself, but he was much more sober than Xiao Zhan.

He went to the kitchen to fill two sips of water, then took out the quilt.
