When Aunt Zou led Zou Yunqi and Bai Hening back to the community, the gossiping women had not dispersed. Zou Yunqi was obviously a well-known figure among these people, and everyone greeted him one after another: "Yunqi is back!

"Who's that big girl next door? Is it a girlfriend?"

"Wow, I haven't seen you for a while and you're handsome again, our Yunqi is really promising!"

Bai Hening had never seen this kind of neighborhood relationship, and he only felt that those eyes fell on him and he was uncomfortable, and he shrank his head when he walked. However, Zou Yunqi still maintained his usual demeanor, and replied politely and without losing distance. also helped Aunt Zou carry the side dishes into the small building.

Passing through a narrow old-style staircase, Zou Yunqi's family lives in a 100-square-meter unit on the third floor.

The house is very clean, but the furnishings are quite old, and everywhere is full of the style of the nineties of the last century. Bai Hening has never been to this kind of place, and after sitting down, he couldn't figure it out, Zou Yunqi's salary is not low, it should be easy to buy a house or something in the city, how can he wronged his old mother to live in this kind of old house older than her?

Seeing the question in her heart, Aunt Zou smiled and said: "This is the staff dormitory left to me by my dead old man, upstairs and downstairs are retired old colleagues, who are used to living and are reluctant to be here." ”

Bai Hening let out an "oh" and sat on the sofa obediently, silent.

Aunt Zou poured tea for her, and Zou Yunqi said, "Mom, you go and get busy with you, I'll just come." ”

He put the side dishes bought by Aunt Zou on the table the same, and said lightly to Bai Hening: "If you don't dislike it, please stay and eat." ”

"Y-Do you do it yourself?" Bai Hening asked in disbelief.

Aunt Zou said proudly: "Miss Bai, my Yunqi can cook at a very young age, and his skills are first-class." ”

Facts have proved that Aunt Zou is really not exaggerating.

Stir-fried mushrooms with tender bamboo shoots, spicy chicken, steamed pork ribs, egg-wrapped meat...... The dishes made by Zou Yunqi are full of color and fragrance, and the color and luster are bright and shiny, which arouses people's appetite.

Bai Hening took a small bite of rice, put it in his mouth, and chewed it in small bites.

The aroma of Wuchang rice diffuses in the mouth, and the rice is sweet, but the nasal cavity is sour as you eat it.

Zou Yunqi was careful, noticed her abnormality, stopped his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's not. Bai Hening took another bite of rice, she looked very elegant, and her speech was a little choked, "I just have never eaten my own home-cooked food." ”

"This ......" Aunt Zou was puzzled.

Zou Yunqi smiled: "You have a cook at home, so naturally you don't have the opportunity to eat coarse tea and light rice." ”

In all fairness, the food cooked by Zou Yunqi can only be regarded as delicious in home-cooked dishes, and it is far worse than the Bai family's cooks. It's just that the taste of home, the cook can't do it anyway.

Bai Hening ate the food cleanly.

Aunt Zou didn't eat much, and kept secretly looking at Bai Hening.

They all came from that time, how could the atmosphere between her son and Bai Hening be hidden from Aunt Zou? She is also very self-aware, knowing that most of the little girl's love is hot-blooded and cannot be counted. The old man endured the excitement, did not dare to say a superfluous word, and accompanied him carefully.

The more she looked, the more she liked Bai Hening, not to mention that her appearance was beautiful and refined, her temperament was as elegant as a lily, and her speech and demeanor were even more indescribably noble. This kind of lady show is really completely different from ordinary people in the market.

Bai Hening finished eating and put down his chopsticks: "I'm full, thank you Aunt Zou and Zou Tezhu for your hospitality." ”

Aunt Zou saw that she had put the bowl away, and hurriedly said, "Just let Yunqi clean it up." Sit next to you, watch TV, eat some fruit. When he's done packing, I'll ask him to take you to the hotel. ”

"Okay. Bai Hening stood up, "Want to borrow a bathroom?"

Zou Yunqi said: "Just walk straight through the kitchen. ”

Bai Hening agreed to go, but Aunt Zou suddenly remembered something, turned her head to Zou Yunqi and said, "Yunqi, there are those things in the bathroom!"

Zou Yunqi also remembered, Huo Di stood up: "Xiao Ning, wait!"

He rushed over in three steps and two steps, it was too late, Bai Hening stood at the door of the bathroom, so frightened that he covered his mouth out of politeness and didn't scream. Zou Yunqi didn't care about being polite or impolite, and subconsciously hugged her shoulder. Bai Hening trembled and pointed into the bathroom, his expression alternating with disgust and surprise.

Zou Yunqi's eyes darkened, and he said, "You have seen it all." ”

In the corner of the restroom, there is a large pile of discarded plastic bags, each with a long plastic tube at the top, emitting the unique smell of medical waste.

It's not scary, it's not dirty, it's just an indescribable oozing ......

Bai Hening was frightened by that pile of things.

She asked weakly, "What's that?"

"It's my mother's dialysis waste ......"

Bai Hening's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned his face to look at Zou Yunqi, his movements were so violent that he almost twisted his neck.

Zou Yunqi whispered: "That's right, she has a very serious kidney disease, and she has reached kidney failure." The hemodialysis hurt too much, so I gave her a dialysis. We have a dedicated clean room at home, and I come back regularly to clean up these things. ”

Bai Hening couldn't say half a word.

He took Bai Hening's hand, took her to the washbasin on the balcony to wash her hands, and said, "I'll send you back first." ”

……

Zou Yunqi helped Bai Hening carry her big backpack and drove her to the booked hotel.

His driving skills are good and he has a smooth journey. Bai Hening's heart was fifteen buckets, so he had to turn his face to look out the window.

The night view of Haicheng is beautiful, and she is in a bad mood.

"Where have you been? I heard from my wife that I haven't heard from you for half a month. She's worried about you. ”

Bai Hening thought of Pei Feiyan's fuss, and couldn't help but laugh, "There is no mobile phone signal at the northern foot of the Himalayas, and I came back from Ali, and no one told me except my family." ”

Pei Feiyan would never have asked Bai Haoqian about his sister's whereabouts, no wonder.

Zou Yunqi said: "It's exciting, isn't it?"

"It's fine. Bai Hening said lazily, "It's not the first time I've boarded." It's exciting to have the opportunity to climb Mount Everest. ”

Zou Yunqi smiled and said nothing, Bai Hening saw his disapproving look, and poked him with his elbow: "Hey, why don't you accompany me then?"

Zou Yunqi refused: "I don't have time." ”

"What, I don't give any face. Bai Hening was frustrated, "Don't think I didn't find out, there is still a sign of the secretary general of your mountaineering enthusiasts association on your bookcase." ”

"That's what I did in college. Now I'm old. ”

Bai Hening smiled: "How old are you, this is old?"

"It's not the body that's old, it's the mentality. Zou Yunqi said, "My father died in a car accident in my senior year, and my mother was found to have kidney failure three years ago, and my family did not allow me to be willful anymore. ”
