Chapter 296

Coming out of Xinlinyin, sitting in the car, I didn't know where to go for a while.

Over the past year, the number of times I have returned to Hengyue City has exceeded the sum of the previous five years. Every time I come back, there are unexpected gains. It seems that Hengyue City has become my holy land, and no matter how big the dilemma is, it can be broken after coming back once.

The snow has stopped, and the world is covered in silver. The pale yellow street lights reflect the white snow on the ground, as if a white carpet is laid under the warm autumn sun. The wind has also stopped, the world is silent, and occasionally a gray mouse crawls out of the sewer, looks around, and then drags its tail to fly on the snow. A string of dense footprints is left on the white ground, disappearing into the next sewer entrance.

Start, warm up, the heating in the car is so dry that people are thirsty.

The wheels slide on the snow, making a creaking sound, as if a soul is lying under the wheels.

I drove the car to the door of my house like a horse without a rein. The light in the room shot out softly, shooting on the snow in the yard, touching the eyes kindly, and instantly falling into the bottom of my heart, and there was an urge to cry.

I haven't been home for a long time!

Meizhu opened the door for me wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, and the surprise could not be hidden in her eyes. She turned and rushed into the house and shouted, "Mom, brother is back!"

She ran and jumped into the inner room, and the cotton-padded jacket on her body slipped down, revealing her slender waist and round buttocks. My eyes slid over her body, and I secretly scolded myself for being too evil. Looking at women, my eyes are always inseparable from the chest, waist, and buttocks!

Mom was lying on the head of the bed, covered with a thick quilt. Her hair was already gray, just like the snow outside the house.

"Feng'er, are you back alone?" Mom called me, looking at me straight, as if I standing in front of her was not her son. My mother, who is getting older and older, is no longer satisfied with me coming home alone.

I walked a few steps quickly, sat down at the head of my mother's bed, rubbed my hands, and held my mother's loose-skinned hands.

Mom looked at me for a long time and muttered, "Hey, you're darker." She reached out and pinched me, and then showed a satisfied smile, "Well, much stronger."

I bent my arms and showed a form of strength, saying, "Must be strong. You don't even look at where your son is mixing."

Mom was happy, her mouth smiled, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out.

"Are you cold?" I asked, reaching out to test the quilt. Found that it was as warm as spring under the quilt.

"Not afraid! With Meizhu here, you can rest assured." Mom took out a hot water bag from the quilt like magic, patted and touched it, and stuffed it back in. She looked up at Meizhu standing at the end of the bed and said, "Meizhu has been sleeping with me these days, saying she wants to warm my feet. What a thoughtful girl."

I also looked at Meizhu, but found that she had long been blushing, shy and not daring to look at me.

"I'll go tidy up the bed for brother." She went out as if fleeing.

Mom giggled, raised her eyelids and said, "Feng'er, look, what a good girl, fortunately she became my goddaughter, otherwise, at this time, where can I find someone to accompany me."

I said, "Mom, since she is your goddaughter, one day she will leave you."

"I won't let her leave." Mom replied to me stubbornly, her eyes a little lost.

"You don't even let people get married?" I said with a grin, reached into the quilt and hugged my mother's waist, leaned my head on my mother's chest, and enjoyed the warmth passed by maternal love.

"I can't bear it." Mom sighed and said with infinite yearning, "If there is such a daughter-in-law, how good it would be."

I was startled, withdrew my hand, and comforted my mother, "She is your daughter, daughter becoming daughter-in-law is incest."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mom's finger poked on my forehead, "She is a goddaughter, not a biological daughter."

I had to smile embarrassedly and stopped talking. It happened that Meizhu came in. She seemed to have heard our conversation, and a trace of loss floated in the faint blush on her face.

She lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "The bed is tidied up. It's cold, I filled a hot water bag and warmed the quilt."

I laughed, "Meizhu, thank you. I'm a big man, I don't need a hot water bag."

Meizhu didn't even lift her head, lifted a corner of the quilt, and stretched her legs into my mother's quilt.

As soon as her feet went in, my mother shouted in surprise, "Meizhu, your feet are frozen cold." Mom touched the hot water bag in the quilt with heartache, wanting to help Meizhu warm her feet.

"I'm fine. Mom!" Meizhu still lowered her eyebrows, took off her cotton-padded jacket, shrank her whole body into the quilt, revealing her fair face under her hair, and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep peacefully.

Mom poked me with a finger again, dissatisfied. This poke was heavy, almost poking me off the bed.

"You young people, don't you talk more?" Mom asked tentatively, winking at me.

I hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Meizhu still closed her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered a few times under the light, showing that she was not asleep.

"Let brother rest, Mom! He came back from the countryside, how tired he is." Meizhu opened her eyes as if surprised and asked me, "It's snowing so hard, how did you get home?"

I said proudly, "Driving. I drove back myself."

"You drove yourself? What car? You haven't even taken the license." Meizhu didn't seem to believe my words. She drilled out of the quilt, put her hands on the quilt, and looked at me suspiciously.

"My aunt gave me her car." I said, and turned to tell my mother, "Aunt wants to buy a new car, and the old car was given to me."

"Xiaoyue, is she okay? Crazy all day long." Mom asked, sighed and said, "I haven't seen her come home for a long time."

"Aunt is busy!" I said, "She opened a road and bridge company, and is now building an expressway in our Chunshan County."

"She, she likes to toss all her life. Why open a company instead of doing a good job." Mom's eyes and eyebrows were all smiles. For this little sister of hers, she had always treated her as a daughter. This love in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was the infinite love for her aunt.

"Brother, you didn't learn to drive, and you can drive? In such weather, you are really amazing." Meizhu praised me, letting the pride and complacency hidden in the bottom of my heart surge out like a flood.

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll take you for a ride now." I laughed, looking around at my mother's bedroom. Meizhu climbed out of the quilt cleverly and handed me an ashtray.

What a smart girl! I praised her in my heart, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a beautiful puff.

"It's so cold, it's still snowing outside, and it's so late. What kind of ride are you going for!" Meizhu smiled charmingly, drilled back into the quilt, and her curvy figure was fully revealed.

"If you want to go for a ride another day, tell me, I will definitely take you." I patted my chest like a guarantee.

Meizhu smiled charmingly at me and nodded seriously.

I looked at my watch, it was already past twelve, and a new day was coming. Looking at my mother again, she was already drowsy, and a trace of saliva even flowed out of the corner of her mouth, as if she was eating a full-manchu-han banquet in her dream. I smiled, wiped it carefully with a tissue, but woke my mother up, and she opened her mouth and said without a head, "Feng'er, when are you getting married?"

I was startled, and didn't know how to answer.

"Your Chen family has only one seedling, I just saw your father in my dream!" Mom smiled at me mysteriously, and the strange look made me afraid, "Your father was just asking me, when are you getting married."

Just after taking a nap, Mom dreamed of my father? I laughed dumbly, but didn't dare to laugh out loud, so I had to prevaricate, "Soon, soon."

"Which girl's family?" Mom asked confusedly, but her eyes were staring at me, and a ray of essence actually shot out, making me not dare to speak nonsense.

"You'll know when the time comes." I was panicked in my heart, didn't dare to sit for a long time, stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go to sleep first."

Mom still wanted to continue asking, but I ran out of her room like fleeing for my life.

I pushed open my small room, and there was a thick cotton-padded quilt on my bed, a small bucket by the bed, a pot of hot water next to it, and a new towel on the head of the bed, which was obviously prepared for me by Meizhu. In this cold winter night, soaking a hot water foot is comparable to eating a ginseng!

I felt a wave of emotion in my heart! Meizhu, this girl, will always make people feel her existence unconsciously! She is like a cup of hot water in the cold winter, and also like a mouthful of sweet spring in the scorching sun, silent, but moisturizing others all the time, making people feel as if they will lose the original color of life once they leave her.

I can certainly understand the meaning of my mother's words. But I can't!

Meizhu is not Jin Ling, not Wu Qian, not Xue Bing, and even less Yue Bai. She is like a trumpet creeper flower on the cliff, clear and thorough, as if isolated from the world, but with dark fragrance flowing. She can only be appreciated, and no one is willing to desecrate her.

And I, in the officialdom, how can I be clean and self-loving, without desire and without demand?
