In such a specific environment, time seems to pass a lot faster.

He Manzhou ate this meal carefully, basically adhering to the style of eating without saying a word, plus smiling and not showing teeth, he only dared to pretend to glance at Bai Yicong a few more times, except for occasionally commenting that the food here is really delicious, the sashimi is so fresh, and the taste of plum wine is also very clear, he didn't say a word of superfluous words.

And Bai Yicong is also happy to enjoy such silence, firstly, he really rarely eats with girls, and a date like New Year's Eve is the first time in the world, and he doesn't know what to say at this time. Because I don't have much experience, I just treat it as usual, and I don't have any habit of talking at the dinner table.

The second is that He Manzhou chatters non-stop on weekdays, as if that little mouth can never stop, not only is he a walking 100,000 whys, but also witticisms and scolding words constantly, and he has to fight with others for 300 rounds on any problem. So at this moment, she suddenly quieted down, Bai Yicong looked at the girl's soft cheeks reflected by the dim light, and for no reason felt that she was particularly beautiful at the moment, like a painting with every brush stroke being particularly delicate and delicate, which made people can't help but be disturbed.

He is also willing to enjoy quietly, and occasionally receives a few words from He Manzhou, comments on the dishes or moving music playing in the store, or even just a discussion of the layout and furnishings in the store.

"The Dharma on the table looks like a tumbler, and it will wobbly when touched, and it looks so cute. ”

"The salmon sashimi in the menu is fat and tender, so I guess it was flown in from Japan, and the restaurant is really generous. ”

"The crystal wind chimes hanging on the eaves have a faint blue like the sky, and the sound of the jingle bells echoes in the night wind, and looking at the handwriting on the note, it seems to be one of Tsugaru's. ＂

Miss He's focus is always so strange, just like all girls in love, the small details that once felt insignificant have been infinitely magnified in love, becoming evidence that they still feel sweet in retrospect after many years.

Perhaps it's like the desire to share that some love experts have emphasized countless times - "What does it feel like to love someone?" Even when you see a strangely shaped tree on the side of the road, the first thought that comes to mind is to share it with him immediately", when all the insignificance is precipitated into a secret between two people, then it also becomes evidence of a certain degree of love.

If you really care about another person, you will feel satisfied and happy for no reason.

It's nothing more than being loved.

So the silence at this moment does not seem embarrassing, but there is a kind of beauty of the picture freeze, if someone takes pictures of this moment, it is definitely a very classic scene in a romance movie. The girl lowered her head slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow, just like the smile that the corners of her lips could not hide even after several masks, everything was so beautiful. She ate the contents of the small plate seriously, while the man opposite him rolled up his sleeves a little, peeled off the shell of the seafood with disposable gloves, and fed her very patiently.

In many cases, the so-called Deng pair does not need too many words, and two people sitting together are all the evidence.

The bright fireworks shattered in mid-air, as if waking up a beautiful dream.

He Manzhou was infected by such a scene, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift far away, remembering a lot of things in the past.

When his father had not disappeared, He Manzhou spent the Spring Festival with Lao He every year, and the father and daughter set up a small wine table in the small courtyard of the He family, watching TV and eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. At that time, there were fireworks in the sky, and from time to time you could still hear the crackling sound of firecrackers and the laughter of the crowd, and when you looked up, you could see through the scattered eaves and branches of the courtyard in the scattered sky, and the bright starlight leaked down, accompanied by the soft and cold moonlight, and the mottled shadows were projected on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard.

If Gu Qi and Shen Chuanyuan come together, they will also set up a simple pot and put some meat and vegetables on the hot pot base, of course, the dumplings made by He Sheng and He Manzhou are indispensable, and the pork and green onion stuffing are very enjoyable to eat. The dumplings of the He family are not dipped in soy sauce and vinegar, but are eaten in the hot pot with beef rolls and vegetables.

He Manzhou also once quipped: "This is a combination of the north and the south, the most authentic hot pot base in Sichuan is paired with the most authentic northern dumplings, and you can't eat it if you want to eat it elsewhere...... There is no special thing that is more delicious than this, there is no special thing to eat, and it is not good to be delicious and distinctive, it is not what I He Manzhou personally packed, and there is no such treatment. ”

In this regard, He Sheng just smiled indulgently, and there was no way to boast about his daughter.

Shen Chuanyuan was very fond of the little junior sister's scene, and he sandwiched one for everyone present again and again, and said that it was delicious.

Later, Gu Qi and Shen Chuanyuan had problems with their relationship, so they didn't come to the teacher for the New Year again. There are only two left, He Sheng and He Manzhou's father and daughter, there are not so many people, and there is no atmosphere to eat hot pot. But the He family's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet did not shrink because of this, and He Sheng is an extremely ceremonial character. He always cooks a big table of dishes, prepares liquor with a low degree of alcohol, and chats with his daughter watching TV shows and drinking wine.

Lao He doesn't talk much on weekdays, probably because the old professor preaches and teaches in the classroom to solve doubts, and the students are used to educating them, even if they go home, they will inevitably talk about those big truths when they open their mouths and close their mouths. For these, He Manzhou has always been in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and he was serious when he listened, but after listening to it, it passed, and he didn't go to his heart at all.

He Sheng didn't mind this, probably because he felt that the so-called instructions were all in his ears, no matter how distracted the child was, these words would have the effect of talking better than nothing, and it was better to say it than not to say it. And this kind of emotion was catalyzed by the desire to drink, He Sheng's words box opened, and the words of educating people couldn't be stopped.

"It's been a long time, I recently investigated the topic of Miao Jiang, and suddenly thought through a lot of things. History is constantly moving forward, and there is an old saying that the world is impermanent, and the world is impermanent...... No one can predict what will happen in the future, it is good to do one's best to ensure the destiny of God, and it is not bad to feel unwilling in the face of some deadlock that has reached a desperate point. But if you have to force something, or even go against the sky at a huge price, no matter what the original intention is, it is too unacceptable......."

"Look, you see, here you are again, it's your Miao Jiang topic again. Really old He, I can hear calluses, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a legal holiday, can you stop talking about those work things?"

He Manzhou is really convinced of his father's seriousness in academic research, and when it comes to it, it is like a collector who treasures his treasures, and can compose small patterns, and the history of the era is the first to say, every time a guest comes to the house, he has to take out something for offering, whether people are happy to listen to it or not, it must be used as a talking point to say.

For example, Miao Jiang chose the topic of how to sheng, opened a special research group in the school, and held a special meeting with Gu Qi every week to study, and the clues about the decipherment of the totem were not finished, and he himself was also going back and forth to investigate in the village. He Sheng often has nothing to do to talk to his daughter, so that He Manzhou, who has never participated in the topic discussion at all, knows the internal progress of their research group well.

"I know that your Miao Jiang topic is very important, you have told me several times, those totems are not recorded in the classics of the same period, if you can study it, it will be a new discovery in history....... But Dad, since you said the ancient saying, then I will also say a word - have you heard that people are iron rice is steel? You just have the spirit of exploration, and you have to recharge your energy and take care of your body, today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner we can just talk about homely things, not to talk about work. ”

"No, I'm not talking about work, it's about ...... There are too many variables in this world, and many things cannot be investigated into right and wrong, and there is no guarantee at all. So, for a long time, all we can do is to be in awe and do something meaningful in our limited time, or rather, to do something that is worthy of our hearts. It may be a difficult road, but someone has to try, otherwise how can the problem be solved?"

"Okay, okay, what's right or wrong, can't we say something auspicious for the New Year?"

He Manzhou smiled and filled his father's wine glass, raised his glass to touch him, and opened his mouth jokingly.

"I don't have any big pursuits, it's too difficult for a poor painter who studies art to become famous and start a family, I don't know how many days I have to endure, I can only say that I try my best to do the most Buddhist expectations. You...... Just take good care of yourself, don't fight so hard in everything, just the Miao Jiang topic you told me, don't check it if you can't check it, how old are you, Lao He, and think that you are a strong young man, don't you get tired of going over mountains and mountains to do research? It's a big deal that the work of business trips is all for my senior brother Shen, and he was not responsible for those field trips and field surveys in the past. ”

"You little girl, your Senior Brother Shen takes care of you so much on weekdays, you are good, when you encounter something, you directly push people to the front line, but he tosses, don't feel sorry for him at all?"

He Sheng smiled and patted He Manzhou's shoulder, and only after a joke did he change his mind again.

"Not to mention that your Senior Brother Shen has already graduated and has his own things to be busy, how can you keep bothering people about the big topic? Besides, Miao Jiang's topic selection is very complicated...... Hey, it's hard to look it up. ”

"So, if you think it's difficult, let it go, and you can't get along with yourself. I just want to feel sorry for you, it's better for us to live our own little life than anything else, are you right, Professor He?"

He Manzhou said this at the time, at that time, she only thought that this was something that could be easily achieved, and she didn't expect what kind of changes would happen to the He family in the future, let alone that there were really thousands of variables in the world, which was not transferred by human will.

How to say, the world is impermanent.
