Senior Superstar

There are not many people in the small theater today. In order to save electricity, half of the basic lighting is turned on on the roof.

Sitting in the first row of the small theater, under the dim light, Li Shixin was taken aback when he saw Liu Shumei coming in from the door.

"Hey, Sister Liu, didn't you say in WeChat just now that the children are coming back for the New Year today, but they won't be here?"

Seeing Li Shixin, Liu Shumei was obviously also surprised: "Shixin, why haven't you gone home for dinner yet? It's almost twelve o'clock."

Li Shixin hurriedly got up to greet him, said hello, and briefly mentioned the matter of Zhang Shuo's mother and stepfather coming to visit.

Liu Shumei is not much younger than Li Shixin.

As I get older, I may not have enough brains, but I have survived for so many years, and I can understand the world at a glance.

Hearing Li Shixin's simple mention, Liu Shumei sighed: "Shixin, it's hard for you. If you don't raise your own children, you can't count on your godchildren when the time comes. I said that Xiaoshuo's mother came, isn't it at noon? Go to our house? Look, I don't have to come here."

Saying so, Liu Shumei lifted the two large lunch boxes in her hand.

Seeing that Liu Shumei came over with the food when it was time for dinner, Li Shixin was even more surprised: "Sister Liu, what are you doing?"

"Hi," Liu Shumei shook her head helplessly in the face of the inquiry, "The three children are out of town, and it's hard to come back once. I want to have a good meal at noon, cook a large table of dishes, and wait They arrived home. In the end, they came back to the Rong store. A lot of messy supplements were placed at the door of the house, and they left without even entering the door. Class reunion, friend reunion, friend reunion, no one was at home Eat. A large table of dishes, you say... How can I eat it myself."

Lifting the lunch box in the handle again, Liu Shumei smiled with red eyes: "I don't think the big guys don't have a home. I don't know how to spend the new year. I don't have much fun at home by myself, so I came here."

After Liu Shumei finished speaking, Li Shixin was dumbfounded.

Seeing Liu Shumei's loneliness at this time, he couldn't help but slapped his mouth. Standing in front of the window just now, he felt the sadness of the reunion of thousands of families, and it flowed through his body again.

He didn't speak consolation.

After such a long experience of the elderly, he deeply knows that the biggest enemy of old people is not physical aging, but psychological fragility.

That's why he tried his best to maintain a strong heart, not to let himself be assimilated by the thinking of the elderly.

When a person has lived for decades and reaches the end of his life, most of them are actually ready to face death.

Compared with the end of death, social identity and sense of self-existence are reduced, which is often more cruel.

Sometimes worse than dying is not being needed anymore.

After looking at the two oversized lunch boxes in Liu Shumei's hands, Li Shixin was delighted: "Old Liu, you said to deliver the food earlier! Shuo'er's mother is here, and I have no place to go here. There is no place for lunch, so I'm still there." Thinking about it, I still have to eat in restaurants during the new year. If I knew you were delivering food and meals, I wouldn’t let the big guy buy them. How can homemade ones be as delicious as those made outside? Sigh? Are there any dumplings? "

When Li Shixin said this, Liu Shumei's face showed a little joy, "Yes! It's Chinese New Year, how can we not make dumplings! Sauerkraut stuffing is mixed with Youzimo, my children have loved this flavor since they were young! Hurry up! , try it!"

Watching Liu Shumei open the lunch box as if offering a treasure, she picked up a dumpling that looked like an ingot with chopsticks and handed it to her mouth, Li Shixin ate it in one gulp.

Li Shixin once stayed in the north for a while, and he also ate dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut. But I have to say that Liu Shumei's pickled cabbage stuffed dumplings are really special.

The general sauerkraut filling is minced sauerkraut, and then served with pork belly mixed with dumpling filling. The one in the mouth is made of pure fat meat, fried and dried, and then chopped into pieces. The fried oil is crispy and crispy, fragrant and not greasy, and has a special flavor.

It's delicious, but it's not necessarily better than the ones I've eaten.

But it's like every family is different for a reason, this is called family taste.

Special taste of home.

"Is it tasty?"

Seeing Li Shixin gobbling it up, Liu Shumei asked like a child waiting for a teacher's praise.

"En!" Li Shixin nodded heavily, "Give me another one."

Seeing his anxious look, Liu Shumei was happy: "I'll give you all! Let's go, let's go to the back room."

...

In the backstage hut of the theater, Li Shixin took Liu Shumei, the big man and others to have a happy New Year's dinner.

The addition of Liu Shumei and those home-cooked dishes added a lot of New Year's flavor to the noon of the small theater.

And Li Shixin and the big man swept away the food in the two big lunch boxes, which also made the old man Liu Shumei very happy. He kept saying that he would make more on the day of Thirty-Er, and he would definitely send it over.

After eating, Li Shixin smacked his lips as he watched Liu Shumei grab the bowls and chopsticks to wash.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Ever since he traveled to this time and space, he himself has gotten used to dealing with the world from the perspective of an isolated person. Living alone for a young year, he tossed a few times to make himself happy, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

But seeing Liu Shumei's children are by her side, and she regarded the theater as her home when she was a child, she felt particularly desolate.

Taking advantage of Liu Shumei's time to tidy up, Li Shixin silently opened the fan WeChat group and sent a message.

After briefly talking about Liu Shumei's situation, he added, "Is there anyone who can come over this afternoon as a companion?"

Unexpectedly, when this WeChat message was sent out, the group immediately exploded;

"Go! I thought it was just my gang of brats like this, so it turns out that Big Sister Liu is also like this. A group of bastards don't go home for a year. After the New Year, people are back, and the souls are all outside!"

"We are similar to Sister Liu, a little better than the three children of Sister Liu's family, but not much better. After eating, we held our phones and started shaking them. We didn't say a few words, and we all Shouting that it’s boring to be at home and going out to parties. I’m so mad at you!”

"Hey, our family has already left. I was thinking that there will be no one going to the small theater for the New Year's Eve. I didn't expect the big guys to be like this. Wait for me, and I'll go over as soon as I finish packing."

Li Shixin grinned when he saw that the group suddenly turned into a meeting of old fans complaining.

...

After a short time, some children went out and became real lonely old people during the Chinese New Year. Or the children focus on contacting friends and playing mobile phones, and the old fans who have become lonely and widowed old people come to the small theater one after another.

They used to play together at ordinary times, but now they feel sorry for each other, talking about the situation at home one by one.

After all, I didn't say anything sweet and sour.

In the end, it was Liu Shumei who took the hand of her best friend Sister Zhang and sighed, and came to a conclusion;

"You said, this child is lonely when he is not around, and he is lonely when he is back. Is this how people should be when they grow old?"

"Old Liu, don't think so. Isn't there still us here? The kids are all grown up and have their own circle, so let's play with our own! With Shixin, we have had a good time in the past six months. Okay? Don't we feel lonely too? Right?"

"Hey! What Old Sister Wang said is right! If these little bastards don't come back, my mother thinks that the past six months have been good. They are back, but I feel bad! Tell them tomorrow and let them all go away! My mother Live well by yourself, don't come back to lose your mood if you have nothing to do!"

On the side, Li Shixin watched a group of old fans wiping away their tears and saying cruel words, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, and they grinned happily.

He just stood aside and thought about the idea for a long time, but now he can't hold back anymore.

"Ahem, old sisters."

As he cleared his throat, everyone turned their gazes over.

"Shixin, what's wrong?"

"Otherwise..." Seeing a group of old fans blinking at him, Li Shixin burst out laughing: "Otherwise, I'll teach you how to take care of your children!"

Looking at the staring eyes of a group of old fans, Li Shixin chuckled.

I have been pampered by you for half a year, today, Lord Xin will use my own strength to pamper you once again!

PS: In the past two days, I have a problem with my brain, that is, the neurotic Calvin-clearly knows how to write the next paragraph, but then I don’t know what to write in the next paragraph after writing the first paragraph. It took me four hours to write this chapter, and I pondered it over and over again. I think it may be caused by the insufficient supply of monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. So everyone, please give me some strength!
