Prologue Accession to the WTO Chapter 21 A Journey on Chinese New Year's Eve
The four of them were at the table, eating and drinking, although the dishes were simple, they were also satisfied, especially Liuli didn't care about eating.
The dishes in the countryside are less greasy and more light and healthy.
It is said that it doesn't matter what you eat, the key is who you are with, and they also see it this way, even if they don't know each other, they are friends when they talk happily.
"Little brother, go on, what kind of welcome party did you play guitar after you finished playing the guitar? You practiced so hard, you must have won the ranking. The old man was a little drunk, and some of the stories Zhou Zixuan told him made him enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to be dozens of years younger and go to this university too.
College is not a necessary way to go through life, and you may not be able to learn much in it, but it gives a person who is about to enter the society enough time to adapt to all this and try some things that he wants to do.
Zhou Zixuan touched his nose, a little embarrassed, he was indeed very serious about preparation, but he was really nervous on stage, he played very averagely, and even changed with Xuan, he was not too disappointed at that time, his family taught him since he was a child, not all things work hard to have results, hard work is just an attitude towards life, a way to create success, and said: "Oh, after this, yes... ”。
"Knock Knock"
Before Zhou Zixuan finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, which abruptly interrupted their atmosphere.
At first, Zhou Zixuan didn't feel anything, knocking on the door was a very normal thing, the neighbors, running the door, chatting a few words is also a pastime after dinner, even if it is a university dormitory, it will often run around after dinner, but what he didn't expect was that when he heard the knock on the door, the two people on the other side stopped the dishes and chopsticks, and the previous smiles were all gone, but a kind of loneliness, and the cup in the old man's hand also stayed in his mouth, and he didn't put it down for a long time.
"What's the matter? Won't you open the door? It's so strange, it should be a guest, right?" Liuli was still eating unceremoniously, and asked while eating.
The silence remained, and no one answered her. After a while, he quietly ate the last bite of food in the bowl, put the chopsticks on the side of the bowl, slowly stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Don't go" The old man slammed the wine glass on the wooden table, and shouted, his voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if he drank too much wine, or the desolation in his heart startled Zhou Zixuan and Liuli, who were sitting opposite, and the two looked at each other for a while, but did not make a sound.
Quietly stopped, paused slightly, but then walked out the door without hesitation, without looking back.
"Hey" The old man wanted to reach out and pull her, but halfway through, he put it down again.
"What's the matter? Why didn't people knock on the door and come in, but Sister Jingjing left, eating well, why did she leave?" Liuli still didn't stop, one bite after another, a plate of green vegetables seemed to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, fortunately, the amount of this dish was enough, otherwise it would not be enough for her to eat, even so her fatigue still did not reduce much.
"Liuli" Zhou Zixuan pulled the corner of Liuli's clothes and signaled her not to ask too much, after all, this is a family affair, and they are just outsiders who spend the night here.
He was preventing Liuli from posting, but curiosity also prompted him to want to know the truth of the matter, after all, a good-looking woman left the house at night, no matter how he thought about it, he was very close to this woman, and he didn't think she had anything to do with those filthy words.
"I went to be a rich man's little wife," the old man sighed, drank the wine in one gulp, and stood up. "If it weren't for that incident, she would have been my daughter-in-law, and she would have done evil. ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked, and Liuli also stopped to eat, what kind of little wife is there in this era, according to the meaning of this old man, what he said is a mistress, and if it is not good, he is the little three who are beaten by others.
"How is it possible, Sister Jingjing, not the kind of girl who sells her dignity and feelings for money!" Zhou Zixuan asked, he still remembered her disdain and disgust for money, and the independent appearance of doing housework, not like the kind of person who longed for nothing.
"She's for money, she's going to die. Two, the house has been cleaned up, and if you are tired, let's go and rest. After speaking, the old man limped to his bedroom, his body couldn't help but be lonely, no matter how brilliant he was, people in their twilight years, many things were just beyond their strength, maybe this is also a kind of sadness of the years, looking at his appearance and not wanting to say anything more.
The change is too fast, and the conversation was still laughing and laughing before, but in a blink of an eye, there are only two people and the dishes and chopsticks that have not yet been cleaned up.
In Jinjue Village, the housing problem is not like those big cities, where there is a lot of land from house to house, and the same is true for this family, there are many vacant houses, and the rooms are also very simple, almost all of them are a bed and a cabinet, and there are no more decorations. The two of them don't have to face the embarrassment of being crammed into one room by themselves.
In the bedroom, Zhou Zixuan tossed and turned, looking at a photo that was already a little old, this photo was erected in the crack of the bedside table, Zhou Zixuan happened to see it when he lay down and turned around, he picked it up and looked at it silently, the photo was a not handsome but very heroic man, and a woman was snuggled next to him.
He didn't know the man above, but he could see that the girl with a happy face was the woman who had cooked for them before. Zhou Zixuan was fascinated, maybe in this dilapidated house, there was also a happy time and memories that belonged to that woman.
"Knock knock" The wooden door of the bedroom rang.
"Liuli?" Zhou Zixuan looked at the wooden door, he knew that it must be that little girl, she was also a person who couldn't hide things in her heart.
"Hmm"
Zhou Zixuan stood up and put on his coat, opened the door bolt, and saw the little doctor fairy who was a little depressed.
"Can't sleep?" Zhou Zixuan was actually too, he was still thinking about the dinner before, he wanted to bury his head in sleep and rush back tomorrow, but that kind of curiosity prompted him to figure it out, especially the sentence to send him to death, which made Zhou Zixuan have a pimple in his heart.
"I can't sleep, and I don't want to sleep. Liuli shook her head, the roof she saw when she was lying on the bed was not her own cabin in Fengling Valley, and she was a little panicked in her heart, plus she came out at night, and she didn't feel sleepy, she took the photo from Zhou Zixuan's hand, and said while looking at it: "You say, Sister Jingjing, will it be persecuted." ”
Liuli liked to listen to stories when she was a child, and she always pestered her sister to tell some stories about traveling outside, and she also heard and saw some of the dark sides of society.
"I don't know, I don't know what happened, how can I speculate. Zhou Zixuan shook his head, stood up, put the photo in his pocket, and made up his mind. "Since your heart is not at peace, how about you go and see?"
"Okay! I was bored, and I wanted to pull you along, but you preemptively said it. Liuli jumped up happily, she likes to do some alternative things the most, it's really good that someone is willing to accompany her to make trouble, "She invited us to eat such a large amount of food, if she is in difficulty, help her solve it, and it can be regarded as a kindness to her for a meal." ”
The two walked out of the door, and when they left, they were relieved to hear the old man's snoring. After a while, I saw two sneaky figures in the village shuttling constantly, and if there was a camera here, it is estimated that they would have been arrested a long time ago.
"Where do you say they went? This village is not big, and it is not small," Zhou Zixuan pulled Liuli and wandered in this small village. Although this village is not big, but the door is closed, he can't go door to door to look for it, so once he startles the snake, it is better to go back to sleep.
"I have a way~" Liuli raised a finger beside him, a cute look.
"Then didn't you say it earlier, isn't it fun to watch me spin around like a headless fly?" Zhou Zixuan had a miracle, this little girl, she was still cute at this time, she was really angry.
"I want to see if you have a way! Who knows you don't. Liuli pouted, opened the cloth bag she was carrying, and flew out of an object with a 'whoosh'.
Because the night was too dark and there was no light, Zhou Zixuan didn't see what it was at first, so he got closer and took a closer look, which made him gasp.
"Snake, this is a snake, it's a snake!" Zhou Zixuan has had a strong sense of fear when he saw these 'little animals' since the black spider, and he jumped around in place, almost hiding behind Liuli.
"Nonsense, it's not a snake or a toad, if you shout again, the villagers will come out, really, I don't know. Ruri greatly despised him.
Zhou Zixuan also hurriedly closed his mouth, but he still didn't dare to look directly at the spotted snake. He didn't expect that she still had this kind of small animal with her, but fortunately she didn't have an ID card, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pass the security check.
"Snakes can sense the energy of their prey, have a keen chemical senses, and can track even the slightest smell, especially my little flower. After saying that, Liuli gently touched the little snake, took out a hairpin from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and Xiaohua began to crawl away quickly.
"What is the saying of throwing hairpins?" Zhou Zixuan didn't understand much, and thought it was a custom, when he used to read novels, he lit a candle when robbing tombs, and he thought that throwing a thing in Liuli was also one of the steps to drive away snakes.
"That's not mine, it's Sister Jingjing's, as a guide to taste. "Liuli just went out and took it out with a sheep.
"Then you took it without their permission. ”
"She's not going to use it anymore"
"Why"
"Because I was thrown away, how can I use it, are you an idiot?" Liuli looked at Zhou Zixuan with a disgusted expression.
Zhou Zixuan felt that his brain was not enough, and this causal relationship seemed to be a bit of a logical error. Or is it that the two of them think about things in different dimensions.
The two of them took advantage of the moonlight to come to the place of a stone bridge, only to stop, Liuli squatted down, turned her face sideways, and felt the breeze on her cheeks, "The wind here is too strong, and the smell is diluted, I only know that they crossed the bridge." Liuli frowned, she didn't expect to make a mistake when she followed this side, and the wind in the small village was very strong at night.
"It's okay, I've found it. Zhou Zixuan looked around and was already convinced of his destination, he didn't have as many strange specialties as Liuli, but compared to some people, he liked to use his brain.
He turned his head to look at Liuli, looking at the face under the moonlight, a little stunned, the probability of green silk, bright eyes and bright teeth, blowing can be broken, frowning a little playful, taking advantage of the moonlight, the little girl is picturesque. I secretly thought: 'This girl is so delicate at a young age, and after a few years, I'm afraid she is also a goblin.'
The moon and stars are scarce, the summer breeze is coming, and the young man does not know the taste of sorrow.
