Chapter 23 Scenes that usually make me sad

When the huge city sank into a brilliant light in the twilight, the messy Caodong branch road full of human fireworks was dimmed.Warm light shines from the windows on the fourth floor of a residential building next to the road.

At this time, my mother-in-law would be cooking in the kitchen. She always made the sound very loud, and she could hear the sound of the spatula hitting the iron pan even standing outside the house.After my father-in-law handed over Li Xiaobai to me, he hid in the corner of the closed balcony, drew design drawings on the computer, lit a cigarette, and occasionally reached out to touch the gray hair on his head.I played hide-and-seek with the bad guy in the living room, and she always made her giggle, and when she wasn't smiling she looked like me, and when she smiled she looked like her mother.This child is an elf. She is so young, she can communicate with me with childish eyes.When I was playing with Xiaobai, I would keep calling my wife, Ping, to urge her to go home.This is the time when the tired bird returns to its nest. She should be back. I am always worried that my mother-in-law will fry the dishes early before she comes back, and the dishes will be cold by the time I eat them.Sometimes I will do the cooking, and I will cook it when Ping is about to come home, and when she comes home, my dishes will be cooked just in time.

The return of his wife, Ping, will cause a commotion in the family.The father-in-law would walk from the balcony to the living room while talking, and then go to the kitchen to serve meals.My mother-in-law was sitting at the dinner table smiling and watching Li Xiaobai stretch out his hands from my hands to his wife Ping's arms, Xiaobai would raise his face, put his pink mouth to her face, and kiss her, like that The son made everyone in the family laugh. When we were eating, Xiaobai was standing next to us, screaming, and we put something she could eat into her mouth with chopsticks, and she stopped screaming and looked at us while eating.After eating, she started barking again, and if we ignored her, she would pull our clothes with her hands while barking, as if telling us: "How can you ignore me!"

Sometimes I am a bad person, and I would say that this dish is too salty and that dish is too bland... After listening to my words, my father-in-law will try the dishes I have reviewed, and will make his evaluation: "This The food is okay, not salty; this dish is a bit bland..." The mother-in-law sat there with a smile, not talking, she was used to my pickiness, and tried to cook according to my taste, such as not putting sugar in the dish .She has diabetes, she doesn't eat much, but she eats very quickly.

I hope to be able to remember more details, this kind of memory makes me warm in sentimentality.How I want to go back to the mediocre scene of life!Even if the food made by my mother-in-law is not delicious, I will eat it deliciously, very fragrant! But now I... If I die in the ruins of Xinhai Villa, will such an ordinary family scene be destroyed?I think for a long time, the family that once warmed me will fall into a sad atmosphere, their eyes will often be baptized with tears, and the grief in their hearts will last longer than tears.When Li Xiaobai, who is still immature, suddenly calls out "Daddy" in an immature voice, how will they face this poor child?She lost her father at such a young age...

The desire to survive gave me another boost of strength, and I shouted loudly: "Help——" I was exhausted from shouting, but still no one answered me. I think I'm getting further and further away from that mundane family scene...
