Chapter 47: Parallel Lines

"I don't want to say it, I'm very gracious...... I don't want to say it, I'm ......" Zhuge Huaizhi hummed the popular song "I Don't Want to Say" and returned home.

"Mom, I'm back!" Zhuge Huaizhi shouted loudly, his brother and sister-in-law should go to the store at this time, and he didn't know if his mother was not at home.

Since Zhuge Zhenguo got married, the largest room in the family has been made a new house, his mother and Jingjing live in the hut in the north, Zhuge Huaizhi lives in Judong Station six days a week, so he comes back either on the sofa or in the hut in the yard.

The hut in the yard was cleaned up and became Zhuge Huaizhi's small world, and occasionally came back to live for a day, Zhuge Huaizhi also felt very good.

"Mom, what about choosing vegetables?" Zhuge Huaizhi came to the courtyard and saw Wu Fengqiu sitting on a small horse in the yard, next to which there was an enamel basin with porcelain dropped, and in the basin were leeks, and Wu Fengqiu was selecting the yellow leaves on the leeks one by one.

"Coming back?" The weather at the end of October, the autumn is high and cool, and the sun is shining at the moment and I don't feel the chill, Wu Fengqiu has a vest on the outside of the knitted sweater, which she made with the leftovers of other people's windbreakers, and the dark yellow pattern on the brown background is quite fashionable at first glance.

"Mom, I bought you sugar crisp pancakes, a Jinan specialty, wash your hands and try them!" Zhuge Huaizhi put his bag into the hut and took out a bag of sugar crisp pancakes.

"Don't spend money indiscriminately, you have to keep your daughter-in-law!" Wu Fengqiu supported his legs with one hand, and slowly stood up with one hand on his waist, Zhuge Huaizhi hurriedly supported his mother, "Old, Xiao Mazha can't stand up after sitting for a long time!" Wu Fengqiu muttered.

Wu Fengqiu did not go to the living room, but turned his head and came to Zhuge Huaizhi's hut, Zhuge Huaizhi was a little surprised, and saw Wu Fengqiu sitting on the small bed, and whispered: "Your sister-in-law is resting at home, let's talk here." ”

"Oh, what's wrong with my sister-in-law, isn't it feeling well?" Zhuge Huaizhi sat beside his mother, with his understanding of Zhang Yan, in addition to being sick, she was busy in the store when she got up early and worked late at night, and she must have been sick if she didn't go to the store during the day.

"Your sister-in-law has it!"

"Ah, yes, what's there?" Zhuge Huaizhi didn't understand for a while, but suddenly understood after a few seconds, "It's a good thing! Mom! You're going to be a grandmother!"

"Look at your loud voice! Be quiet! You said that your sister-in-law is usually so capable, why did she become a coquettish mother immediately after this pregnancy, she ate and vomited! You can't do anything, the store is all pointing to your brother alone, and you have to buy and sell goods, so you can't be busy!" Wu Fengqiu said worriedly.

"If you can't be busy, you can earn less money, your sister-in-law's health is important, and there will be opportunities to earn money in the future, you just take care of your sister-in-law's life, don't worry about it." ”

"Don't you worry about it? I paid the rent for five years at once, and I saw that I had just earned back the capital, so I pointed to the next two years to make money! I think that when I was pregnant with you in the countryside, I went to work in the fields, pulled weeds, fed chickens and pigs, and didn't delay anything, which is good, lying in bed all day long......

"Mom, be quiet, don't let your sister-in-law hear!" Zhuge Huaizhi looked at his sister-in-law's room, the curtains were drawn, and there was no movement at all.

"They are different from you, they don't have a serious job, they don't make more money while they are young, and when they have children in the future, they won't be able to earn money when they are older. ”

"Alright, Mom! I'm hungry, let's go cook!"

"Let's wrap you with leek egg dumplings, and you'll know how to eat them. ”

"Hey...... It's still Mom who knows best what I like to eat. Zhuge Huaizhi was in a good mood today, "I'll go wash my hands and face." ”

In the evening, He Rulan invited Zhuge Huaizhi to eat at the wonton in the compound, and also ordered Zhuge Huaizhi's favorite fried river shrimp and ginger preserved eggs, Zhuge Huaizhi asked for a bottle of beer, and the two drank it separately.

After half a glass of beer, Zhuge Huaizhi's face turned red, "With your amount of alcohol, don't drink in the future, it's too embarrassing." He Rulan teased.

"You're laughing at me! I'll show you two bottles next time. ”

"Don't! If you drink too much, I won't be able to send you home. He Rulan hurriedly waved her hand.

"Actually, I just drank on my face, I wasn't drunk, I don't believe I tried it one day, I was absolutely sober-minded. ”

"Stop bragging, eat the wontons, they're getting cold. ”

"I don't usually like to drink, but I'm in a good mood today, you know? I'm going to be an uncle. ”

"Congratulations! There's a kid in the house. He Rulan remembered her lovely niece Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan was more than five years old, smart and clever, and He Rulan still had the bow hairpin she had just bought for her at the night market in her bag.

After eating the wontons, the two walked aimlessly on the road, and at the door of a hotel being renovated on the corner of the street, Zhuge Huaizhi proposed to sit for a while.

At this moment, the door of the hotel is closed, there is no light inside, it must have been finished, Zhuge Huaizhi and He Rulan are sitting on the steps of the door, the dim street lamps, through the leaves of the tung trees on both sides of the street, the mottled shadows shine on them, there is an indescribable meaning.

"We've known each other for six or seven years, what do you think of me?" The effect of alcohol made Zhuge Huaizhi bold, and he spoke directly.

"You're very good!" He Rulan said lightly.

"How is it good? What do you think of me? Is it the kind that can get married?" Zhuge Huaizhi couldn't believe that he said this.

"......Married? I really didn't think about it, and to be honest, I feel like sometimes the two of us are like parallel lines, as if there is never a day when they will ever meet. ”

"Parallel lines, does that mean you don't have feelings for me?" Zhuge Huaizhi was a little anxious when he heard this.

"No, it's just that every time we meet, we say that the weather is so good! Have you eaten? These innocuous topics, although we are more comfortable getting along, lack a little feeling. He Rulan didn't know how to describe this mood, and expressed it randomly.

"I ...... Actually, I have been hurt before......" Zhuge Huaizhi was silent for a while, and suddenly said.

"Hurt?"

"There was a girl who played a trick on me, and I took it seriously, and I was planning every day how to get to her, and she said that she and I were just ordinary friends. ”

"That's it?" He Rulan's eyes widened.

"Ang, this is not good, it hits me too hard!" Zhuge Huaizhi was a little worried when he thought about it.

"Hahahahahaha!" He Rulan laughed, "You also call harm, you are too naΓ―ve!"

"You laughed at me again! The matter didn't happen to you, standing and talking didn't hurt your back! This incident hit me too hard!" Zhuge Huaizhi said and laughed himself, and talking about this matter afterwards is indeed a bit pediatric.

He Rulan hesitated, and plucked up the courage to tell Zhuge Huaizhi what had happened to him, and Zhuge Huaizhi was so angry that he stood up and wanted to beat Sun Shilu overnight to vent his anger for He Rulan.

He Rulan was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled him down, "It's all in the past, it's a good thing that this kind of person sees it clearly early, if you really get married and find out that this is a bastard, it's too late to regret it!"

"No wonder you haven't talked about the object again, are you afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years?" Zhuge Huaizhi was almost blank emotionally, and he guessed childishly.

"Not really, mainly because there is no suitable one. ”

"What about me? Am I suitable?"

"If you're not afraid that I'll delay you, can you give me a little more time?" ”

The light shone on He Rulan's beautiful face, slightly plated with a layer of gold, Zhuge Huaizhi nodded involuntarily, "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
