Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Chapter 146

Speaking of which, Wen Rui and the others didn't have anyone to pay New Year's greetings to, after all, they basically had no relatives, only some friends.

On the first and second day of the junior high school, they visited all the people they could visit. There were still many days before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The two of them planned to go to Jin City to see Zhang Huaibin before going on a trip.

There are not a few people who come out to play during the Chinese New Year, and the tickets in various places have also increased a lot. Money is not a problem.

Wen Rui suggested to go to the water town in Lin province for a few days, instead of the circled scenic spots, just find a small town to live for a few days.Jiang Yueting naturally listened to him.

This time, I still drove by myself. Wen Rui was tired after driving for a long time, so he said: "When you get your driver's license, I can drive less when I go out to play in the future."

Jiang Yueting came back to take the driver's license test this time, but he had three subjects and four subjects left.

"But you're about to start school now, so you can come back this summer after taking the exam."

Jiang Yueting didn't talk, he was thinking about when to tell his brother about the suspension of school.

When they arrived at the place, they didn't notify the Zhang family and went directly to the hotel they booked.Fatty is in poor spirits and looks listless.

"We can't take it so far in the future." Wen Rui patted its head worriedly, "Don't go to Lin Province, let's find a small town near Jin City."

Jiang Yueting agreed, and he let Pangpang lie in his arms to smooth its fur, and Pangpang licked his fingers back, looking very cute.

Recently, Pang Pang has lost a lot of hair, and the color of his coat has long lost its original luster. It feels hard and dry. His teeth are getting worse and worse, and one loose tooth has fallen out.

I don’t know why, but life is like an hourglass. It’s full at the beginning, and I feel that the days are too long, and there is a lot of time to spend, but the sand goes by faster and faster in the back, making people frightened, and I don’t even dare to blink. In an instant, the sand may flow out.

This is the case with fat people, and so is the old man.

They settled down and went to pay New Year greetings to Zhang Huaibin the next day.

It had been half a year since I saw the old man last time. In just half a year, Wen Rui felt that the old man had aged a lot. In fact, they would also make videos during this period, but the impact of face-to-face was even greater.

Although the old man has a good spirit and a good mentality, he is still getting older, just like a damaged gear can't be restored to its original appearance no matter how much oil is added, and a young mentality can only make the gears run smoother.

Zhang Huaibin was very excited when he saw them coming, he pulled them to ask questions, Wen Rui stayed by his side and talked with him, he said every sentence very seriously, and listened to every sentence seriously.

After all, they didn't come to visit the old man very often. He was afraid that if he didn't accompany him well, he would never have the chance in the future.

"Has it been a long time since we took a family portrait?" Wen Rui asked.

Jiang Yueting nodded: "Two or three years."

Zhang Huaibin asked with a smile: "Do you want to shoot? I don't know if the photo studio here is open."

"It's open, I'll contact you tomorrow, and we'll take a family portrait."

Zhang Huaibin was very happy. He always asked Wen Rui what he was going to wear tomorrow. He also knew that he would take a photo every two or three years, and maybe there would be no next time. This time he had to do a good job.

"Why don't you just wear the suit you bought for me." Wen Rui brought a lot of things for New Year's greetings, and even bought a new set of clothes for the old man.

Zhang Huaibin tried on the clothes when he first got them, and his eyes were so happy that he squinted them, but he quickly took them off, carefully hung the suit in the closet, and said that he would wear it on a formal occasion, tomorrow will be a formal occasion .

Wen Rui smiled and agreed.

When Zhang Yiqiu heard that they were going to take a family portrait, she took the initiative to contact the photo studio for them. She joked with a smile: "Look at your smile, you are happier than taking pictures with us."

Recently, the old man's health has been deteriorating, but his mental state has improved a lot, and he has learned a lot. The level of Chinese painting is getting better and better. It seems that he has regained the feeling of youth, and the relationship between Zhang Yiqiu and the old man has also recovered. At least, she just likes her father's original appearance, self-pity is sympathetic, but if you hear too much complaining and see too many sad faces, you will feel tired one day.

"That's not true." Zhang Huaibin smiled unabated.

"Okay, okay, I know you love them more, so you can't say that in front of me." Zhang Yiqiu pretended to be angry and blamed.

Talking and laughing, Zhang Yiqiu suddenly caught a glimpse of the ring on Wen Rui's hand, and she asked in surprise, "Xiao Wen, are you engaged? Why didn't you inform us?"

The old man's smile gradually faded, he looked over, puzzled: "I saw it just now, he said it was for decoration, nothing else."

"How can there be a decoration on the middle finger? That's the finger you only wear when you are engaged."

Wen Rui's face remained unchanged, and he said generously: "Is this so? I don't know there is such a thing, but it's only suitable for the middle finger."

Zhang Yiqiu saw that he wasn't embarrassed and hesitated at all, he was dubious, "Is that so? By the way, didn't you say you have someone you like? How is the progress?"

The old man looked over curiously, "Who do you like?"

"Did he not tell you?" Zhang Yiqiu was a little surprised, "Didn't you want me to introduce someone to Xiao Wen? I asked that time, and he said there was someone he liked, so I didn't intervene further. Later you I didn't say anything, I thought he had already told you about it."

Zhang Huaibin looked at Wen Rui, "Last time..." Last time it was because the two brothers said they would support each other until they grow old, so he didn't ask any more questions, but this kid and his family Yiqiu said that there was someone he liked, so he might have to deal with it, but this ring...

His eyes fell on the necklace on Jiang Yueting's neck, this child never wears decorations.Wen Rui noticed his gaze, and his expression froze. Although he recovered quickly, his reaction still fell into the eyes of the old man.

Zhang Huaibin froze for a while, and stayed there for a long time without speaking, until Zhang Yiqiu called him, and he came back to his senses.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Yiqiu said and glanced at Wen Rui, feeling something strange.

"Oh, I was thinking about something. Come to think of it, he told me about it. He has a bad memory as he gets older, so I forgot about it." Zhang Huaibin looked at the ring on Wen Rui's hand while talking, and the other party curled up subconsciously Curling his fingers, he sighed in his heart, and then said: "Your ring was given by your sweetheart? You say you, why are you embarrassed, and you lied to me, thanks to Yiqiu who knows a lot, Otherwise, I will be fooled by you."

Wen Rui didn't know whether the old man understood the relationship between the two and gave him approval, or just gave them a step down.

He nodded and refused to say more.

Zhang Yiqiu thought that he was shy and embarrassed to say this in front of the old man, so he said with a smile: "If the matter is really settled, bring that little girl over to show your grandpa."

Zhang Huaibin looked at the "little girl" beside him with mixed feelings.

Jiang Yueting naturally noticed his gaze, and looked at him calmly, frankly.

After Zhang Yiqiu left, the old man called the two back to the room and closed the door to talk.

"You guys... what's going on?" In fact, he still didn't understand, and always felt that he was going wrong, but the ring on Wen Rui's hand and the necklace on Jiang Yueting's neck were clearly telling others that they were a couple.

couple?How can two men be a couple?However, he couldn't find a reason to explain it to them, so he could only accept this "couple".

"That's what you think." Wen Rui was a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear this blow, but he did not expect that the other party's psychological quality was better than he imagined.

Zhang Huaibin asked worriedly: "What about the two men... this..."

"No change," Jiang Yueting took the words, he took Wen Rui's hand, "As I told you last time, my brother and I will always be together, and we will always be together with more love between us."

Zhang Huaibin didn't say a word for a long time after hearing the words, but he gradually let go of it. Yes, he accepted that these two brothers had been together for a lifetime, so why couldn't he accept that there was love between them—the "love" of love?The lives of the two are still the same, but there is one more thing to maintain their relationship, isn't it better?

He sighed: "Okay, I'm old, I don't understand these things between you, I just ask, you two should be good."

"It's natural."

"Ok."

Wen Rui didn't expect the old man to accept the relationship between the two so easily. It seemed as if honey was dripping out of his heart, so sweet that his teeth fell apart.

It's nice to be blessed by loved ones, so good that it gives them more courage to face gossip and finger-pointing.

-

The next day they went to the photo studio to take pictures. All three of them changed into suits and dressed very formally. Even the fat ones were groomed by Wen Rui - he smoothed their hair with a comb.

When the photographer directed them to stand, Wen Rui was in a daze, and for a moment he seemed to have returned to the day when he took a family portrait last time.

"Okay, very good, keep this posture. The guy next to you, please smile a little, don't be so reserved." The cameraman directed.

Both the old man and Wen Rui laughed, and they all looked at the "reserved" Jiang Yueting.

Jiang Yueting looked helplessly at the two watching the excitement, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Okay, that's it, look at the camera, everyone look at the camera!" the cameraman greeted them.

There was a "click", a white light flashed, and the picture froze.

The photos need to be developed and framed, so they can't take them for now, but they have seen the renderings in advance.

The same position as that year, the difference is that the old man is old, and Jiang Yueting has grown a lot taller. No matter how neatly combed the fat hair is, it can't cover the skin exposed by its hair loss, but it still opens its mouth. Tongue, looking at the camera mentally, and it seems that he can sense the passage of time from him.

Wen Rui blinked, his eye circles were a little red, Jiang Yueting stroked his back from behind him, he suppressed his sentimentality, looked at the other party with a smile, and said, "How do you write in today's diary?"

Jiang Yueting also had a smile in his eyes, and he said word by word: "On the fifth sunny Wednesday of the first month of 201X,

The sun is shining today, and I took a second family portrait with my brother, grandpa and Pangpang.Years have passed and we are still together. "
