In the dim yellow light, only a blurry silhouette in the car can be seen.

Cheng Wei's side face was cold, Zhou He hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Wei came back to her senses, the palm of her hand was slightly loosened, and he smiled faintly, and said, "No, the person who crossed the road just now is a bit like an employee of the company who said that he took leave to return to his hometown." ”

There were few pedestrians on the opposite road, and only figures could be seen vaguely across the lanes on both sides. Cheng Wei did not continue on this topic, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, the driver should come out too." ”

He said as he took her hand and continued to move on.

Zhou He strained slightly, and held his hand holding him.

When the two got to the side of the road, the driver drove over. I don't know if I drank too much or what, so I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep when I got into the car.

The car drove all the way back to the house, the car was quiet, and when it came to a pull-over, the driver said, "Mr. Cheng, it's here." ”

Cheng Wei nodded, opened the door for Zhou He and got out of the car.

He didn't plan to go in, he stood at the door with one hand in his trouser pocket, patted Zhou He's head gently, and said, "Go in, I still have some business, so I won't go in." ”

Since he came out, he has never said that he is in trouble.

Zhou Yiyi was stunned, but he didn't ask anything, and nodded in response. When he was about to enter the yard, he suddenly turned around again, reached out and hugged Cheng Wei's waist, and said softly: "Be careful on the road, come back early." ”

Cheng Wei laughed softly, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and said hello.

Zhou He originally wanted to watch Cheng Wei leave, but he didn't let him. Waiting for her to enter the courtyard, he estimated that she had already gone upstairs, and then he left.

Zhou He stood at the window upstairs, watched the car turn around under the dim yellow street lamp, and slowly drove away from the narrow alley. After a long time, she sniffed and went to the bathroom to wash up lightly.

Cheng Wei did not come back that night. Zhou He stiffened and lay on the bed until the second half of the night, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she got up the next morning, Aunt Qi had already boiled the porridge, and the two of them ate very simply, and they didn't make anything else, just ate the side dishes.

Aunt Qi knew that Cheng Wei had not come back last night, and she said that Cheng Wei had brought a lot of specialties when she came back from a business trip. I don't know if he will come back for dinner at night, she made things that can't be put away for a long time.

Zhou He also didn't know if Cheng Wei would come back, so he said that he could call and ask later.

Aunt Qi responded and talked about other things.

Later, Zhou He rushed to meet with Senior Brother Qiu, and Senior Brother Qiu's job this time was quite simple, that is, the opening of a real estate project and serving as a nursery.

Zhou He originally thought that it was only her and Senior Brother Qiu, but only then did he find out that Xu Yuanning was also there. Senior Brother Qiu carried a big backpack and prepared it very well, and brought all the bread for melon seed soda to fill the hunger in order to pass the time.

Zhou He was a little surprised when he saw Xu Yuanning, and asked, "Why is Senior Brother Xu here too?"

Xu Yuanning is different from her and Senior Brother Qiu, he is not short of money. He won't take this money into his eyes.

Before Xu Yuanning could speak, Senior Brother Qiu laughed and said, "Your Senior Brother Xu is here to experience life." We need to encourage this kind of behavior. ”

Xu Yuanning said that he would go, and said with a slight smile: "Why can't I come." There are few things to do these days, and it's okay to be disgusted. If you have money, you don't earn it, that's a fool. ”

He said it plainly.

Zhou He nodded.

Because it was the weekend, both of them got up late and didn't have breakfast yet. Senior Brother Qiu asked while digging out the bread in his bag, "Little junior sister, have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten it. Zhou He replied. Senior Brother Qiu handed her the bread again, but she didn't ask for it, saying that it was still full.

Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu ate two breads and drank half a bottle of soda, and when they saw the leader coming, they hurriedly walked over.

This kind of work is relatively easy, but you have to stand in the crowd all the time. The three of them stood and had nothing to do, and Senior Brother Qiu and Xu Yuanning chatted.

The two of them talked very widely, one moment it was a market economy, and another moment it was football, Zhou He couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and he started to stay stunned while standing.

Xu Yuanning called her twice in a row before she came back to her senses, looking at him blankly.

Xu Yuanning reached out and touched her forehead and said, "What, isn't it uncomfortable?"

She's a little listless today.

Zhou He squeezed out a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said, "No, I slept a little late at night and didn't sleep well." ”

Xu Yuanning looked around and said, "Go over there and take a rest." ”

Zhou He shook his head and said, "No, it's okay." ”

As soon as her words fell, Senior Brother Qiu also came over and said, "There are so many people that no one keeps watching, I'm standing here, you two go and rest for a while." There is a situation where I call you. It's easy at this time, but it's even more tiring when the sun gets bigger. ”

Zhou He hesitated slightly, and squeezed out of the crowd with Xu Yuanning.

This is a new market, a little far away, the neighborhood is empty, only there is a small convenience store next to the sales department.

Xu Yuanning went over to buy two bottles of water, and took Zhou He to the stone bench on the side and sat down.

He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and then handed the water to Zhou He.

Zhou He took it and said thank you.

The two didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Xu Yuanning hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "How are you doing?"

Although he didn't explain, Zhou He still knew that he was referring to her and Cheng Wei when he asked.

She took a sip of water from the bottle, smiled, and said, "It's good." ”

Xu Yuanning nodded and didn't speak again.

The two sat silently, and after a long while, Xu Yuanning spoke softly again: "Ahe, you have to protect yourself." ”

Zhou He was originally in a daze, but he was stunned again when he heard this. After a while, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

After no one spoke again, and after resting on the side of the road for a while, the two returned to the crowd.

This stop was in the afternoon, and the sun was too big at noon, so I thought it was easy work, but in the evening, even Senior Brother Qiu couldn't stand it. Next time, I will definitely not take this kind of work again.

Zhou He was better than the two of them, and the two of them went to the commissary during the break, and each of them bought an ice cream.

At noon, they ate dry bread, and these two people would probably only deal with it casually when they went back to the dormitory at night. Waiting for the rest to be almost over, Zhou He said: "Aunt Qi has been talking several times, let's go to the house for dinner tonight." You'll have to send me back anyway, and you won't delay anything. ”

She said and looked at the two of them.

Senior Brother Qiu was not polite, touched the back of his head and laughed, and said, "This is not very good, we have a lot of food, don't be tired of Aunt Qi." ”

Zhou He smiled and said, "Eat some bread first, and I'll make it when I go back." Although my craftsmanship is not as good as Aunt Qi's, I can barely deal with it. ”

Senior Brother Qiu didn't care about Xu Yuanning at this time, and immediately responded, and said with a smile: "I can help with it." Old Xu, I'm in charge of washing the dishes. ”

Xu Yuanning nodded in response.

Although it was a day of sunshine, everyone had a great appetite. When passing by the supermarket, the three of them went to buy vegetables, and when they saw that there was still good pork belly in the supermarket, Senior Brother Qiu drooled and said that he wanted to eat barbecue. Ask Zhou He if he has any charcoal and barbecue tools at home.

Zhou He said yes.

Senior Brother Qiu went to buy meat. Zhou He went to pick other ingredients. Senior Brother Qiu was planning to have a good meal, and instructed Xu Yuanning to buy some beer. And told that it must be frozen.

He was not polite at all, Xu Yuanning glanced at him and said, "You don't want to go back to school later?"

Senior Brother Qiu laughed and said, "I don't plan to go back to school. Go to your little apartment last night and tonight. It's the weekend anyway. Ming'er just slept in the morning. ”

Zhou He didn't know that Xu Yuanning had an apartment, so he asked curiously, "Did Senior Brother Xu just buy it?"

Without waiting for Xu Yuanning to speak, Senior Brother Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You, Senior Brother Xu, have always been deeply hidden. I bought it in my freshman year, and I have been crowded in the dormitory all these years in order to experience the life of our poor. I also found out some time ago. So a house is empty, but I feel sorry for me. I have to rent it out every month, and I have a thousand pieces. Evil rich man, you see that the housing prices in our Yucheng are raised by people like him. ”

He buried it very smoothly, Xu Yuanning sighed, and said, "When did you become a native of Yucheng?"

"Can't I be the son-in-law of the Yucheng girl?" Senior Brother Qiu said in a heartfelt manner.

"You're too thick-skinned, I guess no one wants you. Xu Yuanning quipped.

"Come on. My peach blossoms over the years have been snatched away by you. No, no, it should be that all the peach blossoms of our dormitory were snatched by you. In the future, we will all become singles, and you will have to bear the greatest responsibility!"

"Okay, if you don't get married in the future, I'll marry you all. Xu Yuanning said seriously.

"Go, I'm straight. ”

The two of them were arguing all the way, but they both moved quickly to hold things. The three of them entered the supermarket and bought everything in about ten minutes, and then went all the way to the house.

Knowing that Zhou He came back late, Aunt Qi only started cooking at this time. Seeing Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu coming back with Zhou He, while beckoning the two of them to come into the house quickly, they complained that Zhou He didn't call her early so that she could prepare the meal and wait for them.

Xu Yuanning asked her not to be busy now, saying that they would barbecue later, and they would just do it. And said that the ingredients have been bought, put them outside, and roast them in the yard in a while.

Aunt Qi smiled and went to find out the carbon for a few people.

Zhou He said that she would go.

When she moved, Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu also followed to help, one carrying carbon and the other cleaning vegetables and other ingredients. Zhou He is to clean the roasting tools and light the fire.

Neither of them would be able to make a fire.

When the fire started, Aunt Qi had already filled each of the three of them with a bowl of wine-stuffed balls. If you don't get hungry outside for a day, you have to eat something to cushion first. And poured the sour plum soup she made with ice water, saying that if it was hot when eating barbecue later, she could drink it.

Xu Yuanning hurriedly thanked Aunt Qi and asked her to stop being busy. Or next time they're too embarrassed to come back.

Aunt Qi smiled and agreed, and went to get the small biscuits she made, so that they had nothing to eat and play.

It is fast to do things when there are many people, and after a while, the pork belly and meatballs and chicken wings that are not thick or thin are grilled.

Senior Brother Qiu wants to show off his skills, wearing an apron and flipping in front of the carbon fire. For a while, the yard was filled with the smell of fireworks.

Aunt Qi ate lightly, and after eating a little potato chips, she stopped eating. After watching them make a fuss for a while, they went into the house to rest.

As soon as Aunt Qi entered the house, Senior Brother Qiu of the ghost elf immediately took out the beer hidden in the flowers. Each handed a can to Xu Yuanning and Zhou He.

The alley is quiet, with the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of vehicles.

Senior Brother Qiu's interest was extremely high, talking about astronomy and geography, and the bull was blowing all over the sky. Xu Yuanning rubbed his head, just eager to seal his big mouth.

After drinking, the whole person also relaxed. Zhou He sat on the stone steps and listened, reminding Senior Brother Qiu from time to time of the unreasonableness of the bulls he bragged about.

Xu Yuanning shook his head when he saw it, but he couldn't help but smile slightly. Grilling something for the two of them on the side.

When Cheng Wei came back, the courtyard was in a mess, and Senior Brother Qiu, who was a little drunk, was theorizing about the root cause of the financial market recession. Although they were drunk, the logic of the two was still clear, and no one would let anyone.

Xu Yuanning was the first to notice Cheng Wei coming in, he didn't know that Cheng Wei was staying here, he was slightly stunned, stopped the barbecue, stood up, and greeted politely: "Mr. Cheng." ”

As soon as he said hello, Zhou He and Senior Brother Qiu both stopped at the same time and looked straight at Cheng Wei.

Zhou He's reaction was a little faster, and he smiled at Cheng Wei with a beer can, and said, "I'm back." ”

Cheng Wei nodded, greeted Xu Yuanning, and then walked to Zhou He's side, reached out and patted her head, and said, "Drunk?"

His tone was calm and not upset.

Zhou He shook his head and said with a big tongue, "No." I'm not drunk, I'm sober. As she spoke, she picked up a can of beer at her feet and handed it to Cheng Wei, saying, "Do you want to have some?"

Her interest seemed high. Cheng Wei said yes, sat down next to her, and took the beer.

Zhou He smiled drunkenly, and continued to go back to reason with Senior Brother Qiu.

The only two people present who were awake did not speak, Xu Yuanning quickly put the roasted meat and vegetables into the plate, and said politely: "Mr. Cheng will come here if you don't like it." ”

Cheng Wei politely thanked him at this time.

He didn't touch the barbecue, he just drank the can in his hand. Xu Yuanning also took a can of beer and drank it.

The two people on the side reasoned as if there was no one around, Xu Yuanning's gaze fell on Zhou He's body more and more, and he took it back after a while, looked down at the shadow on the ground, and said, "Ah He is very good, and please ask Mr. Cheng to treat her well." ”

Cheng Wei smiled faintly, looked sideways at Zhou He next to him, and said, "I will, so I won't worry about Xu Gongzi." ”

Xu Yuanning checked him and knew that he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was not surprised that he knew his identity. took another sip of beer and said lightly: "I hope Mr. Cheng can match his words with deeds." ”

After he said this, he didn't stay any longer, stood up, and dragged Senior Brother Qiu, who was squinting as if he was going to fall asleep on the ground at any time, nodded at Zhou He, and said, "It's not early, Ahe, let's go first." ”

Before Zhou He's alcohol-paralyzed brain could react, he had already helped Senior Brother Qiu to the door. Only Zhou He muttered: "Why did you leave suddenly, I haven't finished talking yet." ”

The courtyard was deserted all of a sudden, Cheng Wei finished drinking the beer, threw the can aside, reached out and patted her head, and said, "Okay, get up, go to sleep." It's heavy dew outside, and you're going to catch a cold. ”

Zhou He remembered the mess in this place again at this time, and said, "I haven't cleaned it up yet." ”

It was difficult for her to walk like this, and she had to clean up, Cheng Wei was angry and funny, and said, "I'll clean it up later." ”

"Said that Senior Brother Xu cleaned it up. She muttered a sentence and staggered to her feet with Cheng Wei's support.

I don't know if she didn't stand firm or what, as soon as she stood up, her face was buried in Cheng Wei's arms.

Cheng Wei's body stiffened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Good, let's go in." ”

Aunt Qi estimated that she was already asleep and did not come out, Cheng Wei brought Zhou He upstairs, she smelled of oil smoke and wine, he took off her coat for her, and then put her on the bed.

After drinking the wine, it was a little hot, and Zhou He's forehead was sweating a little. Cheng Wei wrung a hot towel to wipe it for her, covered her with a quilt, and then went downstairs to clean up the pile of things.

By the time she returned, she was asleep, and she didn't know if it was a nightmare or something, and her brow furrowed slightly.

Cheng Wei stood in front of the bed and watched for a while, turned off the light and door, and went back to his room.

Zhou He woke up the next morning with a headache as if it was about to burst, she reached out vigorously and rubbed it, and waited until she was a little sober before going downstairs.

There was a sound of flushing water outside, and she opened the door to go out to look, only to find Cheng Wei wearing boots and gloves cleaning the yard.

It's still early, Zhou He didn't expect him to get up early in the morning to do this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to turn off the water and said, "I'll clean it later." ”

Cheng Wei looked back at her with a smile between his eyebrows, and said, "But you said last night, if I don't clean up, you won't let me in the future." ”

He chuckled, with some ambiguity in his tone.

Zhou He didn't remember what he did last night, and when he heard him say that, his face turned red and he said, "That's drunken talk...... It doesn't count. ”

The corners of Cheng Wei's lips hooked, he came over to turn on the water, and said, "How can it not be counted? You said something else last night, this is to repay the debt?"

Zhou He's brain was like a mess, and he stammered, "What else did I say?"

Cheng Wei refused to say any more, raised his eyebrows, dropped a sentence of his own thoughts, and continued to rush to the courtyard.

Zhou He's brain hurt so much that he couldn't remember what he had said, so he patted it vigorously and hurriedly went in to wash.

Aunt Qi wasn't at home, and she didn't know where she went. When Zhou He washed up and was about to make breakfast, he saw Aunt Qi coming in from outside with soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Seeing Zhou He, she smiled slightly and said, "Wake up." Breakfast will be available soon. It's been a long time since I've eaten fried dough sticks at the entrance of the alley, so I went to buy some. There were quite a lot of people, and I filmed the team for a while. ”

Zhou He sighed, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a small pot and put the soy milk out.

The soy milk was boiled, and the smell of beans spread throughout the room. Zhou He finished cutting the fritters again, and when the table was set, Cheng Wei had already finished cleaning the yard and was coming in from outside.

Aunt Qi smiled and beckoned him to come and sit down for breakfast.

Outside, the morning fog had just lifted, but it was already clear that it was a sunny day.

Cheng Wei sat down and took a bite of fritters, thought about it for a while, and said to Aunt Qi: "Do you have something to do today?" The weather is very good, if it's okay, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

He looked at Zhou He as he spoke, and said, "Ah He will be with him if he is fine." ”

Aunt Qi has always been called Ahe, and his Ahe is now called openly.

Although he said that, Aunt Qi was still a little hesitant and asked, "Isn't Xiao Cheng busy today?"

Cheng Wei smiled and said, "On the weekend, no matter how busy you are, you have to take a break." I'm not very familiar with this area, and I can't find a place to go when I go out alone. ”

He said that Aunt Qi was relieved, and said with a smile: "I was planning to go to the temple a few days ago, the scenery over there is good, if Xiao Cheng is fine, let's go over together." ”

Cheng Wei nodded and smiled.

Aunt Qi said that the temple is very spiritual, and you have to ask for a peace charm no matter how you go, and you can wear it on your body to keep you safe.

Cheng Wei listened carefully and nodded in agreement.

The temple was in the suburbs, and the three of them went out after breakfast. Cheng Wei drove over.

There weren't many cars out of town on weekends, and there were no traffic jams along the way. The temple is on a hill and can only be reached by foot. The incense of the temple is booming, and there are many pedestrians on the road in the morning.

The purpose is the same, and it is always easy to find a topic, and as soon as I got on the road, Aunt Qi chatted with an aunt. The two walked in front, and Zhou He and Cheng Wei followed behind.

Cheng Wei was very bold, Aunt Qi was in front of him, and he dared to reach out and take her hand. A slight pinch, then let go again.

Aunt Qi was probably afraid that Cheng Wei would be bored, so she walked for a while and asked Zhou He and him to walk slowly behind, she went to incense first, and everyone would meet in the temple later.

Cheng Wei knew that Zhou He was worried about Aunt Qi's body, so he smiled and said no, saying that the scenery has always been there and it will be the same when he comes back to see it later.

It takes half an hour to climb the mountain, Cheng Wei's physical strength is very good, and his face is not red or panting when he arrives on the mountain.

Aunt Qi soon went into the temple to offer incense, leaving him and Zhou He outside.

Seeing that no one noticed them, Cheng Wei reached out and held Zhou He's slightly cool hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What wishes does Xiao Ahe plan to make later?"

He smiled slightly, and his whole body was like a cunning fox.

Zhou He didn't dare to look at him, he couldn't break away from the hand he was holding, he turned his face away, and whispered: "I don't have any wishes." ”

Cheng Wei chuckled, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to face her, and said, "Are you really sure you don't have any wishes?" After a pause, he chuckled and said, "Xiao Ahe doesn't, but I seem to have it." ”
