He said that there was no place for the New Year, and he was understated. Zhou He was slightly stunned, did not speak, lowered his head and drank porridge.

Cheng Wei is a man of action, saying that he went out to buy New Year's goods, and after breakfast, he asked people to drive the car over. Zhou He had already returned to the room, he went upstairs and knocked on the door, saying, "Let's go." ”

She didn't say whether to go or not to go. I wasn't asking for her opinion at all.

After he finished speaking, he quickly went downstairs, started the car and waited in the yard.

Zhou He sat in the room, and after about four or five minutes, he went downstairs.

Probably to find something for her to do, as soon as she got in the car, Cheng Wei handed her a list and said, "This is something that Auntie asked me to buy." ”

Zhou He took it, but didn't look at it. He looked sideways out the window. The car drove past the alley, the blood all over the ground seemed to still exist, and her body couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes closed tightly.

Her reaction Cheng Wei noticed it, and he drove silently.

Cheng Wei didn't take Zhou He to buy it nearby, but took her to a department store in the city center. It was close to the end of the year, and although it was only morning, the supermarket was still very lively.

Cheng Wei looked very serious, pushed the shopping cart and took the list and looked at it while walking. Ask Zhou He's opinion from time to time.

Where there are more people, the more empty Zhou He is, and the whole person is in a trance. Sometimes Cheng Wei asked a few questions, but she couldn't answer a word.

There are big promotions for New Year's goods in the supermarket, and the more you go inside, the more people there are. Zhou He was in a trance, and he was so squeezed by the people who robbed things that he almost fell. Cheng Wei quickly pulled her aside, and then he held her hand with one hand, holding something or pushing a shopping cart with the other.

The matter of purchasing New Year's goods is troublesome, Cheng Wei has never done such a thing, and he rarely comes to the supermarket. I can see that one head is two big, and at the beginning I will compare things a little, and then I will take them directly according to the expensive things.

He didn't know the approximate location of the things, and he didn't go around until noon, when he could get them together. Two carts full of carts.

I went to the queue to pay, and when I carried my things to the parking lot and put them in the car, it was almost a highlight. Cheng Wei raised his wrist to look at the time, and asked Zhou He, who had been a little tired for a long time, "Go back after eating, what do you want to eat?"

Zhou He didn't know what he thought, he was dumbfounded. Hearing his question, she looked at him blankly.

Cheng Wei didn't ask her anymore, looked around, and pulled her upstairs.

Her spleen and stomach were weak, so Cheng Wei took her to a porridge restaurant upstairs and ordered porridge and stomach soup.

The two sat by the window, Zhou He still ate very little, and kept looking out the window after eating.

Cheng Wei didn't move after eating, and waited for Zhou He to come back to his senses before standing up. Zhou He originally thought that he was going home this time, but he didn't seem to have this plan, so he took her downstairs and didn't go to the parking lot, but to the movie theater next to him, and said: "There is a new movie released recently, it's okay to be idle, go and see it." ”

As he spoke, he went to the queue to buy a ticket, and when he saw a girl with hot cocoa and popcorn, he also went over and bought one for each.

Zhou He was like a puppet, only knowing how to follow him. The movie is a comedy, and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. Zhou He couldn't laugh, and burst into tears in the dark.

Cheng Wei took out a tissue and patiently wiped her tears again and again. He didn't comfort him, he just stayed by the side.

After the movie ended, Zhou He's eyes were swollen like peaches. Probably tired, she closed her eyes when she got on it. Cheng Wei sat in the car for a long time before starting the car.

It was still early when I came out, but it was already evening when I went back. It was the rush hour after work, and the car was jammed all the way. Cheng Wei is not in a hurry. The car drove slowly through the traffic, and he lowered the window, took out his cigarette, and smoked it. A call came in, and the phone vibrated with a whining sound, and he cut it off without looking.

When Zhou He woke up, the car was parked in the yard, and the house was shining with warm yellow lights. She was slightly stunned. When he turned around, he found that Cheng Wei hadn't gotten out of the car yet.

He didn't know what he was looking at when he held his phone, so he put it away and said, "Wake up, get out of the car." ”

He said that he got out of the car first, and didn't bother with Zhouhe, and took out all the things in the trunk.

Hearing that the two got out of the car, the aunt also came out at this time, and also helped carry the things into the house. Zhou He didn't pay attention when she was in the supermarket, and when she carried her things to the house, she realized that they had bought a lot more New Year's goods.

The aunt was obviously also surprised, and said, "Why did you buy so much?"

Cheng Wei sighed and said, "Send some to the neighbors around tomorrow." ”

He was undoubtedly thoughtful.

Auntie said yes and put everything away. At night, I ate dumplings, and I made Zhouhe's favorite shrimp filling. But she didn't eat much, only two of them and then put down her chopsticks and went upstairs.

The aunt was a little at a loss, looked at Cheng Wei, and said, "Mr. Cheng, am I not doing well?"

Cheng Wei said that it was okay, and asked her to put some dumplings in the refrigerator and warm the broth.

The aunt answered yes and quickly went into the kitchen. Cheng Wei finished eating the dumplings in the bowl, took out a cigarette and smoked it, and then went upstairs.

Zhouhe's room was quiet, no lights on, and no sound. Cheng Wei pushed the door in, but there was no one inside.

He was slightly stunned and exited the room. He looked at the next room again, and there was still no one. Cheng Wei stood in place for a moment and walked to the stairs around the corner.

Zhou He sat at the corner of the stairs, and this time she didn't need Cheng Wei to teach her. She took the wine herself from nowhere and sat on the floor and drank it directly.

She didn't know if she heard Cheng Wei's footsteps, and she didn't look up.

Cheng Wei stood at the top of the stairs for a while and went downstairs. After a while, I brought a bottle of red wine and a mat up. The stairs were cramped, and he put the mat aside and said, "It's cold on the ground, cushion, don't catch a cold." ”

Zhou He was also obedient and sat down on the cushion.

Cheng Wei sat down next to her and drank silently with her. Neither of the two spoke, it was Zhou He who was sad, but Cheng Wei drank more than her, purely buying drunk.

Staying here all the time, looking at familiar things, will only make it more uncomfortable. When Zhou He was half drunk, Cheng Wei took a sip of wine and suddenly said: "It will cool down in the next few days, it is not convenient to have no heating here, go to the apartment to live for a few days." The courtyard wall should also be repaired, and before the New Year, I invited someone to come and get it. ”

His voice was low and casual, and he didn't look at Zhou He as he spoke.

Zhou He didn't know whether he heard it or not, he was still drinking. It wasn't until he was drunk that he leaned against the wall. Although there was no heating in the house, her body was hot because of the alcohol. Cheng Wei carried her back to the room. When he stood at the window, he noticed that it was snowing outside, and it was falling from the sky in small pieces, and the buildings on the ground were white and crystalline, as if they could hide all the darkness and squalor in this world.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and pushed the window open a little, and the cold air rushed in all of a sudden. The alcohol-soaked brain cleared up a little, and he just stood at the window and slowly smoked.

Zhou He drank too much wine in the past few days, probably because of an upset stomach, and he moaned in bed in the middle of the night. Cheng Wei never returned to the room, but sat on the chair next to him. She got up and mixed a glass of warm honey water, which woke her up and asked her to drink it.

His stomach was too uncomfortable, and before he could finish drinking a glass of water, Zhou He rushed to the bathroom and vomited. She was in a daze, and after spitting up, she took the water handed by Cheng Wei, and fell back on the bed after snorting casually.

Vomiting didn't make her stomach feel better, and she closed her eyes on the bed and curled up in a small ball. Cheng Wei turned off the light and lay down on the bed. He hugged her from behind. The hand rested on her abdomen.

Zhou He's body was terribly stiff. Cheng Wei's hand didn't move, and he gently rubbed it on her stomach. His palms were burning and warm in his stomach, and it was much more comfortable to rub gently.

Zhou He's body was still stiff, Cheng Wei seemed to know what he was thinking, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Sleep." ”

Zhou He was originally dazed, but seeing that he didn't make any other moves, his body relaxed again and slowly fell asleep again.

Zhou He didn't sleep well, I don't know if he had a nightmare or what, and he would have convulsions from time to time. The whole person curled up tighter.

Cheng Wei's hand patted gently on her back, and the bright light of the snow outside the window reflected in the window. He looked at the pale man in his arms, didn't know what to think, and closed his eyes.

When Zhou He woke up the next day, Cheng Wei was gone, and there were several cigarette butts in the box on the table next to him. There was a voice from the courtyard downstairs, like Xu Yuanning's.

Zhou He washed up and went downstairs, and downstairs Cheng Wei and Xu Yuanning were sitting in the living room. The two did not say anything, and were silent.

Zhou He hadn't seen Xu Yuanning these days, and when he saw him coming, he called his senior brother.

Cheng Wei knew that the two had something to say, stood up, and said, "I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes." He said this to Zhou He, and he didn't wait for her to speak, and went out directly.

The door was quickly shut, and the room fell silent. Zhou He squeezed out a smile and asked, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and it's time for him to go back.

She was already thin, but now she is even thinner. Xu Yuanning said in a low voice: "I'll come and see you." ”

He should have come over a long time ago, but on the day of Aunt Qi's funeral, the family called and said that the old lady was sick and hospitalized, so he had to rush back.

Only then can he come back when the old lady's condition has stabilized.

"I'm fine, really. Zhou He's tone was serious.

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

She's emaciated and emaciated, where would it be. Xu Yuanning was silent, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Ahe, you have to be good." Otherwise, Aunt Qi would not be relieved. ”

Zhou He's nose was sour, but he still squeezed out a smile to respond.

The two couldn't find anything to say for a while, and after a while, Xu Yuanning said, "Do you want to go back with me...... Get out for a walk. ”

Zhou He was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "No." Thank you, brother. ”

Her refusal was to be expected. Xu Yuanning couldn't find any words to comfort, so he fell silent.

However, Zhou He said again: "Senior brother, you buy a ticket and tell me, and I will send it to you." ”

Xu Yuanning's face quickly showed a smile and said, "No, I'll be back after the New Year." He paused at this point, hesitated slightly, and said, "Ahe, I heard Professor Xu say that there are two places to go abroad with full scholarships next year, do you want to consider it?" ”

In the past, she didn't think about it at all, because Aunt Qi was there, but now she ......

Zhou He didn't speak in a daze, and said after a long while: "Thank you, senior brother, I'll think about it." ”

Xu Yuanning snorted, paused, and said, "If you plan to go, you have to start preparing as soon as possible." If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me or Professor Xu. ”

Zhou He nodded and said yes.

Xu Yuanning still wanted to ask Cheng Wei, but in the end he didn't ask. told Zhou He to take care of himself before leaving.

Zhou He sent him to the door, and when he went out, he saw Cheng Wei, who said he was going to buy cigarettes, standing outside smoking cigarettes. He didn't even wear a coat when he came out, and he didn't seem to be cold. Seeing Xu Yuanning come out, he only bowed slightly.

Xu Yuanning didn't say anything, and left quickly.

Seeing Zhou He standing on the side, he reached out and squeezed her hand, and said, "Go in, it's cold outside." ”

It snowed last night, and today the snow stopped and began to melt. It's much colder than when it snows.

Zhou He didn't speak, and followed him into the house.

Cheng Wei said that he went to the apartment and didn't talk about it casually, and he really called workers to come over to repair the wall later. Zhou He didn't plan to leave, but he took her away on the grounds that it would affect the construction.

Cheng Wei's apartment hadn't been lived in for a long time, and when he planned to come over in the morning, he asked the part-time worker to clean it up in advance. The heating in the house was also turned on, and it was much warmer to enter the house. It's much more comfortable than a damp old house.

Zhou He had already vomited when he drank last night, and Cheng Wei didn't let her drink it today. I don't know where I found a play handle, saying that I was bored in the house, so I threw it to Zhou Heyi and asked her to play games together.

Zhou He didn't say anything and sat down. She spends all her time part-time and has never played a game. It's completely clumsy.

And Cheng Wei knew at a glance that he was a master, and he knew that it was boring to play with a rookie like her without thinking about it. But he was very patient and taught her hand in hand.

This kind of game is not difficult, Zhou Ji is not stupid, and he slowly became proficient at noon. Even won once.

Seeing that she was a little interested, Cheng Wei found the game disc again. Playing with different tricks. This should be Zhou He's most idle time, the meal is either takeaway, or the part-time worker aunt comes to make it, and she is immersed in the game every day. Occasionally, when Cheng Wei had something to deal with, she sat on the ground alone and played. Play until midnight, when you are tired of playing, you fall directly on the sofa and fall asleep.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the outside became lively. Zhou He lives an isolated life, and all the excitement has nothing to do with her.

She played games until midnight and was woken up by her mobile phone in the morning. The phone kept vibrating at the bedside, she didn't pay attention to it at first, and after vibrating over and over again, she reached out and touched the phone, and picked it up without looking.

There was a nasal voice in her voice, and as soon as she fed her, Ren Yurong on the other end of the phone asked: "Ahe, where are you, I'm here in the house, and there are workers working inside, saying that you are not there." ”

Zhou He didn't know why he called him, so he didn't answer him, and said, "What's the matter?"

Her tone was still polite and detached.

Probably because he became a father again, Ren Yurong's voice was much more patient than before, and said: "Let's go back to Kyoto this afternoon, your grandparents miss you a lot, I'll pick you up and go back together." You're ...... alone."

He hesitated, but did not continue.

Zhou He said quietly, he paused, and then said, "No need, I'm fine alone." If you're okay, I'll hang up. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Ren Yurong on the other end of the phone to speak, and hung up the phone directly. Ren Yurong immediately called the phone again, Zhou He didn't answer it again, threw the phone back to the bedside, and continued to sleep.

This time she didn't get enough sleep before there was a knock on the door. Seeing that she didn't react, Cheng Wei directly pushed the door open. I probably heard what she had just said, and said, "Auntie has already made breakfast, got up and ate it." ”

He closed the door and went out again.

Zhou He lay on the bed with his eyes open for a while, and slowly got up.

Breakfast was ready, and she washed up and sat down at the table to eat. After waiting until the meal was almost finished, Cheng Wei said: "Go back and change your clothes after eating, it's very lively outside, go out for a walk." ”

Zhou He didn't look up and said, "I don't have anything to buy." ”

Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said they were going to buy you something?"

Zhou He closed his mouth now. She knew that Cheng Wei had 10,000 ways to let her out, and although she was reluctant to go out, she still went back to the house to change her clothes after dinner.

Cheng Wei was very satisfied with her knowledge, took the car keys and went out.

He didn't know what he was selling, so he drove straight to the supermarket. This time, he no longer let Zhou He be idle, and arranged for her to push the shopping cart. He is carrying New Year's goods.

I bought the goods next year, and I don't know why he still bought them. Zhou He didn't ask, he just knew that he was pushing the shopping cart and following him.

This time, Cheng Wei bought a lot of things, as well as oil, salt and vinegar. Zhou He was very puzzled, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you buy so many things?"

Cheng Wei didn't look at her, still threw snacks into the shopping cart, and said, "I'll know later." ”

After buying the New Year's goods, he moved a few more boxes of fruit to the car, and then started the car.

He didn't go back to the apartment, the car went around and entered a small alley. The alleys are cramped, and because of the Chinese New Year, many people are outside with pots and washing things, or setting up oil pans to fry meatballs and boiling oil. The smell of food in the market came to my face.

The alley was not wide in the first place, because it was occupied by residents on both sides, and it became more and more cramped. The car drove for a long time and couldn't drive far, and finally Cheng Wei simply moved everything out and reversed the car.

Usually there would be very few people here, and the residents looked at them curiously.

Zhou He was a little uncomfortable, but Cheng Wei was unaware. There were too many things for him to take, so he called the half-grown boy who was chopping wood next to him to come over, gave him a hundred yuan, and asked him to find a few children to carry the things in for him.

The child was dressed thinly in winter, and refused to call anyone again, saying that he could move it in several trips. He was afraid that Cheng Wei would not agree, so he called out to the dilapidated room next to him, and a boy younger than him and wearing a cotton jacket of unrecognizable color jumped out.

The movements of the two were swift, and each took a worn-out basket and put things inside and carried them.

Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He held the heavy fruit himself, and let Zhou He hold the lighter one. There are too many things, but despite this, Zhou He still has a hand full of things.

They walked to the innermost part of the alley and stopped in front of the dilapidated bungalows in the back. Hearing the movement outside, an old lady came out on crutches. Seeing a smile on Cheng Cheng's face, he said, "Xiao Cheng, why are you here again." You haven't finished all the things you bought last time, so why did you bring so many things?"

Cheng Wei's body lost his usual ruffian smell, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a New Year? ”

He didn't blush at all when he lied.

As she spoke, a little girl, a little girl of four or five years old, timidly poked her head out from behind the old lady.

The old lady asked the little girl to call someone, and the little girl knew Cheng Wei, so she timidly called uncle. His eyes fell on Zhou He's body, but he refused to call again.

The old lady probably misunderstood, with a smile on her face, saying that it was cold outside, and kindly called Zhou He into the house to sit.

There is no light in the house, and the lights are on in broad daylight. The outside is shabby, but the inside is clean and tidy. There was a prosperous stove, and a bed was made next to it, and an old man was lying on the bed.

The old man was paralyzed and couldn't get out of bed, Cheng Wei stepped forward to greet him, and he raised his trembling hand to let him sit down. While bracing and trying to sit up.

Cheng Wei hurriedly sat him up, picked up the cushion on the side and leaned behind the old man.

The old lady wanted to keep them for dinner, but he did not shirk it, took a chess while cooking, put it on the bed and played it with the old man.

Although the little girl was young, her movements were very neat, and she helped to choose the dishes. Zhou He wanted to help, but the old lady didn't allow it, saying that she was a guest and couldn't do things.

Where can Zhou He sit down, and helped the little girl choose the dishes.

Cheng Wei is a little different from usual, he always answers whatever the old man and the old lady ask. The old man's slow hand trembled a lot when he played chess, and he was also very patient and waited slowly. Occasionally, I would tease the little girl, and the timid little girl would bite the candy and sit on his lap and let him hold it.
