Chapter 8: The Past Is Like Smoke, Reminiscing About Addiction (1)
Tian Zao and Xiuluo arrived at the apartment of Ma Jian's unit. The apartment also has a balcony, and the room design is good, but it is messy like a pig's nest by Ma Jian.
There were a lot of dirty clothes piled up on the sofa, and the floor didn't know how long it hadn't been mopped.
"Ma Jian is getting more and more sloppy, if we don't help him clean up, he won't be able to live," Tian Zao said with a huff of breath.
"I'm not on a business trip, I usually come a few times a week to help him clean up, and he's also very busy, men are like this."
"You can get used to him, you are used to his sloppy problems, and he has not been like this before!"
"Let's start cleaning up, when you have a boyfriend, you will understand, you are happy to do everything for your beloved, every time I come to help him wash clothes, I don't feel tired when I clean the room, but I feel very happy!" Xiuluo said as she put the dirty clothes on the sofa into the basin.
"Otherwise, no matter how the book says, women who are in love are fools!" Tian Zao rolled up his sleeves and said.
Two people, you and I are talking and working one by one.
In a high-end Western restaurant here, Xin Zhitai, ** and Luo Bin are eating Western food elegantly at this time!
The dining room has high-end tables and chairs, gorgeous tablecloths, exquisite tableware, and beautiful flowers everywhere. Beautiful piano music wafts through the restaurant. On stage, a woman with long flowing hair was playing the piano intently.
"Atai, the last time the car sent the sample material has already been results, the sample beer came out, they tested it without problems, and when their customer confirms it, they may have to sign a contract. ** said as he cut the beef.
"I also received a notice, when this order is stabilized, our engineering department may be a little easier, the board of directors is now studying to open a branch factory in Thailand, I don't know how it is!" Xin Zhitai said.
"Even if you decide to go, it may be the first half of next year, and it will take a while!"
"Atai, you found that there is no Tian Jujube is very beautiful, but she is not dressed up, you can only find her beauty by looking at the boy, especially those eyes are the best, I found that sometimes, this mountain flower and grass are not inferior to this peony peony." Luo Bin said while sipping red wine.
"You really don't change your nature wherever you go, are there still fewer warblers and Yanyan around you? Don't beat her idea, she's not your thing."
"**I heard it, there is a play, there must be a play, when did Atai protect women so much, Atai said honestly, did you fall in love with someone else's girl,". Luo Bin stared at Xin Zhitai with bad intentions and asked.
Xin Zhitai took a sip of red wine and paused for a long time before saying, "I don't know, I don't hate it anyway, I feel that she is different from other women, and it is very interesting." ”
"If you have a good feeling, go after it, what are you waiting for, Luo Bin, don't stick a stick in the middle, you can't compare to you when it comes to flirting with women. ** Knocked on Luo Bin's tableware with chopsticks and said.
"Cut, what do you think of me Luo Bin. ”
"Atai, don't you have her WeChat today, if you like it, chase it, do you want me to teach you a few tricks to tease your sister, I don't dare to say anything else, I'm really an expert in this regard" Luo Bin patted his chest and said proudly.
Xin Zhitai rolled his eyes and ignored Luo Bin.
Tian Zao, who was wiping the kitchen stove, sneezed a few times inexplicably, she didn't expect that someone was really talking about her at this time.
Tian Zao and Xiuluo have already cleaned up the room inside and out, and it is simply new.
At this time, Xiuluo was drying clothes on the balcony, and Tian Zao had just cooked the rice and sat on the sofa to rest.
Ma Jian and Qiao pushed the door and came in, each carrying a colorful bag in their hands.
"It's still a girlfriend, I thought I went to the wrong door! This cleaning is like a place for people to live!" Ma Jian said with a smile.
"You're embarrassed to say, we're all tired to death, what kind of food have we bought, what do we eat at night, I've already cooked the rice. Tian Zao stood up and went to pick up the dish in Ma Jian's hand.
"I bought a big fish, let's eat boiled fish at night, I haven't eaten the boiled fish you made for a long time, I asked the fish seller to kill the fish. ”
"Are you going to eat boiled fish tonight?" Great, I haven't eaten it in a long time," Xiuluo also finished drying her clothes and walked in.
"Qiao Yi, you have a good mouth today, you eat the fish made by Tian Zao, you don't want to eat it when others make it in the future, and Tian Zao is only like a woman when cooking and making clothes. ”
"I didn't speak, I didn't treat you as a dumb person" Tian Zao wanted to smoke Ma Jian when he took something, but when he saw that he was holding a green onion in his hand, he put it down again.
A few people in the room burst into laughter.
"Tian Zao, can you do it alone? I'll clean up Ma Jian's bedroom, and remove the sheets and covers. ”
"It's not a banquet, I'll just do it alone, you can be busy. ”
"Miss Tian, I'll help you, I'm fine anyway, I'll help you peel the onion and garlic, right?" Qiao Yi said and followed Tian Zao to the kitchen.
"Qiao Yi is older than you anyway, you can call me Sister Tian in the future, it's too strange to call Miss Tian, I sound awkward."
"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Tian in the future. Qiao Yi said happily.
"Qiao Yi, can you eat spicy? If you can't eat it, I'll make it separately, and several of us will eat spicy,"
"I like spicy food." Qiao Yi squatted there peeling garlic.
Tian Zao put the big fish in the pool and cleaned it several times, then put it on the board and cut it into fish pieces, and then put the fish pieces in a basin to pickle, and the movements were skillful and quick. Qiao stood aside and looked stunned, Tian Zao's hand was too good-looking.
In the bedroom, Ma Jian closed the door when he came to the bedroom, he reached out and hugged Xiuluo in his arms and gave him a deep kiss, Xiuluo nervously pushed him quickly, but the strength was too small to push it away, Ma Jian was satisfied and let go of her. "I don't think so," Ma Jian asked as he looked at Xiuluo affectionately.
"Do you miss me?" Xiuluo asked rhetorically.
"Don't you want to? I won't be allowed to travel for so long in the future, and I feel like I'm moving my fingers every day as if you're on a business trip."
"I miss you too". Xiuluo hugged Ma Jian tightly after speaking. Ma Jian lowered his head and kissed him again.
。。。。。。
"Okay, let's clean up quickly, it's time for Huitian Jujube to call us to eat."
The two of them were tired of it, so they changed the sheets and covers, and Xiuluo put them in the washing machine to wash.
The smell of fish was already wafting through the room.
Tian Zao's cooking speed is really fast, and Qiao Yi next to him is full of admiration.
"Sister Tian, you are so capable, Jian is really a magician, just now it was still a bunch of raw and inconspicuous ingredients, and under your operation, they have all turned into delicious dishes, and they smell delicious. ”
"It's delicious, you can eat more later, and when I have time, I will make more tricks for you to eat, you go and clean up the table, we are ready to eat." ”
Tian Zao put all the fish into a basin, brought it to the living room table, and filled a bowl of rice for each person. Everyone sat down.
"I only made fish tonight, this fish is too big, I'm afraid that there will be other fish left, let's go."
"The fish is enough for a few of us to eat, and Tian Zao has worked hard," Ma Jian said with a smile.
"If you can finish the fish, I won't have to work hard."
There was a colander in the fish bowl, and everyone used the colander to fill the bowl with fish.
Qiao Yi tasted a few mouthfuls and said, "Brother Ma, what you said is really right, the fish made by the famous "fishing house" in our city is not as good as this. ”
"Will I lie to you?, wait until the next time I have time to ask Tian Zao to cook a whole fish feast for us, I will invite all the brothers in the team, then it will be enjoyable!"
"Really, all the brothers in the team are here, you can't sit in this room at all, why don't you go to the bureau's canteen! Joe said as he ate.
"That's it, next time we will eat a whole fish feast during the festival, Tian Zao will work hard for you at that time," Ma Jian fished a piece of fish and put it in Tian Zao bowl and said.
"Okay, I owe you all my life."
"Sister Tian, you have such an iron relationship with Brother Ma and Sister Xiuluo, how did you meet, let's hear it!"
"Well, you have to ask your brother Ma if you want me to talk about it!" Tian Zao laughed out loud after speaking.
"Just talk about it, who didn't have one or two embarrassing things when they were young!", Ma Jian said indifferently.
"Tian Zao, do you remember? When I was a child, I forgot some things for a long time, do you want to hear and see if I still have an impression?" Xiuluo also coaxed on the side.
"I can forget everything else, but I can't forget that day, because that day changed the fate of my family. ”。
The past is like smoke, drifting to my mind, and Tian Zao tells it.
"That was more than ten years ago, and it was also a summer vacation, and my father was framed by his peers because of his good medical skills. There was a serious medical malpractice. Within a few days, his family was ruined and his reputation was ruined. Forced into desperation, my father took our family to this strange city to make a living.
When we first arrived, we were penniless, and my mother sold her only silver bracelet, which was the only relic my grandmother had left her. My mom was in tears. My mom said that the survival of the family is the most important thing, and my grandmother will understand. My parents rented a dilapidated, old, and damp house with the money from selling the bracelets. Our family settled down.
My father looked for a job everywhere but couldn't find it, because he studied Chinese medicine with my grandfather, he didn't have a graduation certificate, no hospital dared to use him, and neither did my mother. My father ended up getting a job moving bricks and cement at the construction site, and my mother washed dishes at a small restaurant. When my father came back in the evening, I pulled his hand only to find that his hand was already bloody and blurry. Our whole family cried that night and didn't eat dinner.
The next day, my father bandaged his hands and went to the construction site again, and my mother went to work. My brother didn't like to talk since he was a child, and he was very shy. I told him to stay at home and watch the house.
I walked along the road and walked and came to the park. I saw a lot of kids playing on the slide, I was curious, I went up to play, it was my first time playing on the slide, I was having a lot of fun, and suddenly a girl with a bow and a beautiful dress pulled me and said I was going to play seesaw with her.
I was glad that the two of us had just sat down when a boy rushed up and pushed the girl down the seesaw, and when the girl was about to sit again, he pulled her by the hair. It turned out that he wanted to pull the girl down and sit on his own. ”
"Joe, do you know who that boy and girl are?"
"It won't be Sister Xiuluo and Brother Ma!"
"That's what they're smart. ”
"Sister Tian, tell me what happened later" Qiao Yi was in a hurry.
"Was I so muddy when I was a kid?" Ma Jian said, scratching his head.
"At that time, I saw that the girl's tears of pain were flowing out, and the boy didn't let go, I went up and punched the boy in the face, and the boy spread his hand and fought me, and I went up and fell on the shoulder, and he was knocked down, and I rode on him and beat him hard. The girl's cry called his father, and my uncle quickly pulled us away, and the boy's father also came, and the boy was also bruised and swollen by my beating.
What's even more dramatic is that the boy's father and the girl's father actually know that they are comrades-in-arms, and the boy's father has just been transferred here to work. I told my two uncles what had happened, and they didn't criticize me. The boy's father also criticized the boy harshly. Both uncles praised me for my bravery.
The girl was going home, and she invited me to her house to play, and her father agreed. When we went back, I realized that the girl's father was dragging on one leg, and we took a taxi to the girl's house.
The girl's home was upstairs and the room was very clean. I learned from the girl that her father's leg was caused by a fall from a height while grabbing a bad guy.
I told the girl that his father's leg could be healed.
The girl was glad to take me to the study to find his father at once.
I told my uncle what had happened to my uncle, who had used acupuncture to cure the paralyzed patients, and who agreed to see my father.
After dinner, I took my uncle to our little shabby rental house.
My father had just come back, and my uncle was sitting on our broken bed, and he checked his leg, and he told him that his leg could be cured, but it might take a little longer. When my uncle heard this, tears of excitement flowed down his eyes.
My father helped my uncle get a needle and prescribed him a prescription for him to soak his feet, and when my uncle left, he left us 500 yuan, so that my father must accept it and change a house for the sake of the children. More than 10 years ago, the 500 yuan was more than the current 5,000 yuan.
In this way, my uncle's leg was cured by my father's acupuncture, foot soak in Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine was taken internally, and my uncle's family was not to mention how happy they were.
Uncle Nan, a friend who introduced his father and mother to open a clinic, is now the director of Nan's Hospital, so both parents have jobs.
My uncle took me and my brother to another school, and his daughter was also studying here, and when school started, I found out that the boy I had fought with had also been transferred to this school, and he was in the same class as us.
That's how Xiuluo and Ma Jian met. So Xiuluo's father is the great benefactor of our whole family.
If I hadn't met Xiuluo at that time and didn't fight with Ma Jian, I don't know what the fate of our family would be!
"Uncle Tian is not the benefactor of our whole family! After my father knew that his legs could only be dragged for the rest of his life, he locked himself in the study all day long, and he took me to the park that day after begging for a long time."
Who can say clearly about the things in the world, the fifth grandmother in my hometown said, "People can become friends or strangers when they meet, and whether they love you or hate you is predestined by cause and effect in their previous lives."
Tian Zao looked at a few people and found that several people were stunned and hadn't come out of her memories yet.
"Hurry up and eat, if you don't eat fish, it's cold and it's not delicious." Tian Zao knocked on the table with chopsticks to remind a few humanitarians.
"Sister Tian, your childhood must be very interesting, tell us about it after dinner." Joe said unsatisfactorily.
"Well, I actually think back to my childhood in my hometown, and I think it's very funny."
