A Disabled Alpha’S Guide To Being Loved Chapter 57
byChapter 57 It’s Chinese New Year. In the next few days, Wei Zhi’s company didn’t go either…
In the next few days, Wei Zhi did not go to the company. Together with Cheng Cheng, he took Qiu Yao to get familiar with the home and surroundings. They also chose a primary school by the way, and finally chose a private primary school with better facilities and teaching atmosphere.
It happens to be winter vacation now. After the winter vacation, Qiu Yao can go to school with this group of third graders.
While walking on the road, red lanterns have been hung up one after another on the neat trees along the street, giving off a joyful atmosphere.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and a holiday as important as the Chinese New Year is coming. People working in Pujiang can’t wait to return to their hometowns, and local people in Pujiang also start to pick up New Year’s goods at this time.
There was nothing going on at the moment. Cheng Cheng was thinking about whether to go shopping together in the supermarket when he heard Wei Zhi suddenly say: “Qiu Yao, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can we take you to pay homage to your father?”
Qiu Yao thought of her father, and felt sore and painful in her heart. She said softly like a kitten: “Okay.”
Driving to Pujiang Cemetery, Wei Zhi’s heart skipped a beat when he looked at the rows of tombstones. The last time he came, it was the cemetery where Qiu Xinyu was placed.
He had no relatives and no one collected his body after his death. Two weeks had passed since Wei Zhi found out about it, and Qiu Xinyu’s ashes had been among the pile of unclaimed ashes in the crematorium for two weeks.
Wei Zhi quickly sent someone to help Qiu Xinyu choose a suitable place. On the day of burial, only one colleague who had a good relationship with Qiu Xinyu came to visit.
It started to rain again, a steady patter, not heavy, but like weeping.
Wei Zhi raised his head, raindrops hitting his face.
Secretary He stopped the car and came over and helped Wei Zhi hold up the umbrella.
Cheng Cheng stood aside holding Qiu Yao and saw the heaviness and sorrow hidden in Wei Zhi’s eyes.
He said: “The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the people in heaven are watching us. We need to let them see that we are living well, so that they will be happy.”
Wei Zhi heard this and looked over, his eyes falling on the smile on Cheng Cheng’s lips.
“Let’s go!” Cheng Cheng took a few steps forward holding an umbrella, “Brother Wei, lead the way!”
The rain only fell for a short while, and then the paper money started to be burned, and then it stopped.The folded gold ingots slowly merged with the orange-red flames, and the black and gray smoke was blown up by the wind.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the flames became more intense. Soon, the gold ingot was licked clean.
Cheng Cheng and Qiu Yao placed several dishes and cakes in front of the tomb together, and poured a glass of wine, waiting for the owner of the tomb to enjoy it.
Qiu Yao stared at the black and white photo on the tombstone in rapt attention, and whispered in his mouth: “Dad, I’m not afraid of you, can you come and see me?”
This was the first time Cheng Cheng saw Qiu Xinyu’s appearance. It was different from the tall and thick appearance he thought. His face showed the vicissitudes of time, but he could still glimpse the delicate appearance of his youth.
“Qiu Yao, bow to your father.” Cheng Cheng patted Qiu Yao on the shoulder.
Qiu Yao obediently took a step forward and bowed respectfully three times.
The moment he straightened up, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, carrying the breath of the grass and trees, and violently overturned the white wine glass on the ground. The transparent wine slowly penetrated along the lines of the soil, soaking the ground under his feet.
“Dad, is that you?” Qiu Yao murmured to himself.
…
“Let’s go.” Wei Zhi said quietly.
Gravekeepers will pick up the untouched food and wine on the ground. They will pick some edible items to take away, and the rest will be fed to the stray cats and dogs in the cemetery. It is not a waste.
Several people carefully cleaned up the ashes of the paper money and confirmed that there were no remaining sparks before turning and leaving.
In the car, Secretary He glanced at Wei Zhi quietly in the rearview mirror and said, “Boss, we have found a cram school for Qiu Yao. It is a cram school with a good reputation. The teachers are retired teachers from key primary schools and specialize in helping children connect to the curriculum.”
Qiu Yao suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Zhi blankly, his eyes full of doubts.
What is a cram school?Are you going to take classes in a new place?
Wei Zhi noticed his gaze, slowed down his tone, and explained patiently: “The content you learned at Omega House before is a little different from the curriculum in private elementary schools. It is a little shallower. You may not be able to keep up when you start classes directly. I will enroll you in a cram school. After the Chinese New Year, you will go to a few classes to get used to the rhythm, and it will not be difficult when school starts.”
“Oh——” Qiu Yao responded.
Like all children, he certainly didn’t like attending cram schools, but he knew that Uncle Wei was doing it for his own sake.
“Hahaha…” Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his eyebrows curved and full of smiles.
“What are you laughing at?” Wei Zhi asked with a frown.
Cheng Cheng gave him a thumbs up, his tone was sincere and a bit teasing: “I think you are becoming more and more like a father, careful and thoughtful. This is really good, so I smile.”
Qiu Yao listened with half-understanding, his little head turned around, looking at Wei Zhi and then at Cheng Cheng, his eyes full of confusion.
After a while, he suddenly called to Wei Zhi: “Dad.”
Wei Zhi choked, covered his abdomen, and coughed violently.
“Hahahahahahahaha.” Cheng Cheng laughed again.
Qiu Yao was very anxious and went to check on Wei Zhi: “Dad, what’s wrong with you?”
Wei Zhi said helplessly: “I’m fine. Qiu Yao, you can just call me Uncle Wei. You don’t need to call me dad.”
“Oh, Uncle Wei.” Qiu Yao was relieved. In fact, he didn’t really want to call Uncle Wei dad. Maybe he could call brother Xiao Cheng dad.
So, he turned his head to Cheng Cheng again, his eyes bright: “Dad.”
This time it was Wei Zhi’s turn to smile, but he smiled very reservedly, curling his lips slightly.
Cheng Cheng stammered: “Qiu Yao, you don’t need to call me dad, just call me brother Xiaocheng.”
“Oh -” Qiu Yao protracted his tone, a trace of obvious disappointment flashed across his face. He actually wanted to call them dad, so that it seemed like he had a complete family.
.
The day before the Chinese New Year, the three of them took time to go to the supermarket to buy new year’s goods.
This was a brand new experience for Qiu Yao. The dazzling array of products and the lively crowds in the supermarket all made him feel novel. His eyes kept turning around and he couldn’t bear to look away.
For Wei Zhi, it was also a long-lost warm experience.
When I was a child in the orphanage, everyone would get together during the Chinese New Year to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat New Year’s Eve dinner, which was very lively. However, after going to college and starting work, such liveliness has never happened again.
For him, the New Year has never had any special meaning. It is just that the company is on holiday and he does not have to go to work. Every time he stays alone in an empty house, eats a simple dinner and survives the night, it is considered to be the New Year.
The supermarket was bustling with people and was extremely lively. People were pushing shopping carts and chattering about the dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner, relatives who were going to visit during the New Year, and various New Year activities. The air was filled with the sweet and fresh smell of snacks, mixed with people’s laughter, and was full of New Year’s flavor.
Cheng Cheng pushed the shopping cart with brisk steps and pointed at the packaged steaks in the freezer section: “Do you want black pepper steak for New Year’s Eve dinner?”
Qiu Yao immediately nodded vigorously, his eyes bright and full of expectation.
Grandma Lan went home to celebrate the New Year yesterday. This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was cooked for them by Brother Xiaocheng. This is the first time he has officially eaten the meal cooked by Brother Xiaocheng. Just thinking about it makes him feel happy!
Cheng Cheng smiled and put the steak into the shopping cart. He walked a few steps forward and passed by the aquatic product area. He looked at the big fish jumping in the glass tank and asked again: “Do you want to drink the fish head and tofu soup?”
Wei Zhi and Qiu Yao nodded together.Qiu Yao also leaned in front of the glass tank, staring curiously at the big fish swimming, and tapped the glass with her little finger.
Cheng Cheng picked a large, fresh fish and asked the clerk to weigh it and put it in the shopping cart.
Soon, he passed by the frozen chicken and duck again. Cheng Cheng checked the weight and asked: “Beer duck or braised chicken nuggets?”
Qiu Yao frowned and fell into a dilemma.
He wanted to eat them all. The beer-battered duck smelled delicious and the braised chicken nuggets were delicious. He couldn’t choose at all.
After a moment, his eyes lit up, he came close to Cheng Cheng, and said obediently: “Brother Xiao Cheng, you can eat whatever you want, I like it all!”
Cheng Cheng grinned happily, took the duck and put it in the cart: “Okay, I want to eat beer duck!”
Next, they picked up some vegetables and soy products and wandered around until they arrived at the snack area. This was simply a paradise for Cheng Cheng and Qiu Yao.
Before Wei Zhi had time to stop him, the two of them had already grabbed a bunch of puffed food, including potato chips, shrimp crackers, chocolate…
In the end, I returned home with a full load, and bought all kinds of window grilles, spring couplets, lantern hangings, a bunch of red things…the trunk couldn’t even fit in them.
Wei Zhi was beside the car, watching Cheng Cheng and Qiu Yao stand on tiptoe, struggling to stuff the last few things into the trunk. There was a little dust on the tip of their noses. They looked a little embarrassed, but they were extraordinarily fresh. He couldn’t help but chuckle: “Haha.”
Cheng Cheng stared at him: “Why are you laughing? Why don’t you come to help?”
Wei Zhi spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: “I have more than enough ambition but not enough strength.”
He Rui was also very happy to see his boss so alive and stepped forward quickly: “I’m here to help you.”
The group of people were busy and finally arranged everything. The car was loaded with New Year’s goods and also filled with joy, and they swayed home.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, the sound of fireworks came one after another outside the window, “Bang bang bang!”Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.
The New Year’s Eve bell was about to ring. Through the glass, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but look at the beautiful and wanton fireworks.
Colorful sparks exploded in the sky, and slowly hung down like drooping willows. Then one, then two, exploded one after another. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
This is his first year in Pujiang. There is no loneliness, no desertion, there is Wei Zhi, there are Qiu Yao, there is warmth in the house, and there are fireworks in the sky. He has never experienced such liveliness and warmth.
Reflecting the shadows of fireworks rising and falling, they flickered brightly and dimly.Cheng Cheng turned to look at Wei Zhi and saw a smile in his eyes.
Looking back, it turned out that he had only known Wei Zhi for more than half a year.
The time was short, but in each other’s hearts, they were very close.
Their eyes met each other, silent but warm. Against the backdrop of the fireworks in the sky, the vines of love in their hearts grew wantonly, entangled with each other, and could no longer be separated.
Wei Zhi raised his hand and covered Cheng Cheng’s eyes.Cheng Cheng leaned forward slightly and pressed his moist lips tightly.
Strong love swirled around her, mixed with the smoke of fireworks, the aroma of food in the house, and the familiar scent of each other.
They asked for each other, greedily feeling each other’s warmth and love.
They give to each other and give all the tenderness and joy in their hearts to each other.
