016 Wife
Dinner is a specialty of Hangzhou, not a big restaurant, but a well-known supper stall, Li Yi said that the main meal to eat some rice and the like to fill the stomach, snacks are desserts after the meal. I knew he was worried about my bad stomach and ate food from the food court on an empty stomach, he looked coarse and sometimes quite delicate.
The plate is piled with West Lake vinegar fish, Hangzhou sauce duck, Dongpo meat, steamed red crab, I like to eat crab the most, break open the shell, inside is the crab roe with oil, the original fresh fragrance, I have a big appetite, knock a crab leg, pull out the white and tender crab meat, and send it to the mouth with a smile, although it is not the season of crabs, it is still delicious to eat. The only downside was that it was too hard to break the crab meat, and it was scratched by a small bite.
Li Yi ate two bites and threw away the whole crab leg, I looked at him so wasteful, I couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "You are too wasteful, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?"
In the crowded night food stall, Li Yi, who was sitting on the bench, was still extravagant, and he said in a calm tone, "The crabs here are not as delicious as before, do you like to eat them very much?"
I put my finger in my mouth and licked it, and honestly replied, "It's delicious, I like it very much, the crabs here are particularly delicious, don't you think the crabs over there in Shenzhen don't have crab flavor?"
Li Yi pulled my hand out of my mouth and reprimanded me harshly, "Don't you feel dirty?"
He was in a reprimanding tone, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of pampering. My heart softened, and the girl reached out to him with an attitude and said pitifully, "My hand is cut." ”
Li Yi took my hand, glanced at it, and reproached, "Why are you so stupid? You get hurt if you eat a crab?" I also obeyed you, what else do you say you can do?"
He picked up the crab, broke the shell, pulled out the white and tender crab meat, and put it on my plate, all in one go. I couldn't help but look at him quietly, his eyes were half-drooping, his eyes were full of soft light, he bit his lower lip gently, and broke the crab very seriously. In the blink of an eye, the three crabs turned into a pile of empty shells, and the crab meat piled up on my plate. My heart is like sinking into the mud, sinking deeper and deeper, and I can never pull it out again.
Li Yi looked up at me puzzled and asked, "Eat, why don't you eat it?"
I hurriedly opened my eyes, pretended to be happy, and ate with a smile and a grin. But Li Yi almost didn't touch his chopsticks, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and put a piece of crab meat in front of Li Yi's mouth, and asked with concern, "Aren't you hungry?"
Li Yi took a bite of the crab and shook his head, "No need!"
I reached out to grab the only crab, Li Yi stretched out his chopsticks and gently tapped my hand, "Don't eat any more, the crab is too cold, you have eaten enough today." Don't wait and shout that your stomach hurts, you can't stand it. ”
I don't know why, since we expressed our feelings, we have found that Li Yi is all good, usually his arbitrariness has become his advantage, and the care and pampering that he inadvertently reveals has become a kind of poison, which makes me unable to extricate myself, and even knowingly commits it in order to scold him a few words.
I licked my lips, stretched out my index finger facelessly, and said coquettishly with a smile, "It's okay, you don't eat this crab, it's too wasteful, we can't waste food, right?"
Li Yi grabbed me and didn't let go, put down the chopsticks, called the boss to pay, and coaxed the child in a tone, "Don't eat anymore, it's not that you don't know what your situation is." Don't play with the kids, wait, let's go to the food court, and you can see what's delicious. ”
Now he finally convinced me, withdrew his hand, looked at Li Yi and asked, "Then you don't want to order anything else?" Tonight, I haven't seen you eat. ”
"No, there is a change of owner here, it's not as delicious as before, so I don't eat it. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to the boss's gloomy face, the boss coughed lightly and clenched his fists, the boss must have restrained his urge to raise his hand to give Li Yi a fist.
I laughed dryly twice, Li Yi is the kind of unforgiving character, looking at the boss, he was not convinced, and said awe-inspiringly, "That fan is too hard, and at first glance, I know that the content of mung beans is too small." ”
I awkwardly pulled down Li Yi, took out the wallet from his pocket, opened the wallet, and never saw Li Yi's innocent and invincible ID photo again, but replaced it with my photo, in which I closed my eyes and slept soundly. But I'm quite satisfied with myself in the photo, and I have a sweet and delicate feeling.
A long time ago, I wondered why Li Yi always had to put a passport photo on his wallet after changing so many wallets. Once, I secretly opened his red envelope, took out the ID photo, and saw a woman's ID photo on the back of the ID photo, which was a rigid ID photo, which still couldn't stop the woman's agility and beauty.
The two ID photos are tightly glued together, Li Yi is deceiving himself and me, he is dead, but he has not forgotten An Yao, An Yao has become a shackle in his heart, for so many years, he has not forgotten An Yao, but he forced himself to forget and told everyone that he didn't care.
That photo also gave me the answer to what Meng Meng was, but I was too stupid, too stupid, and I thought about it for a while before I figured it out. Did he take away that photo mean that he got rid of the shackles, he replaced it with my photo, is that I the person he loves deeply? I definitely won't ask, let alone find fault, the living don't compare with the dead, that's a very stupid thing, I paid quietly, and pulled Li Yi away in a hurry.
This is the old city, the environment is not very good, especially the night market, the road is narrow, the road is potholed, the stalls on both sides are connected, there are many people, crowded and crowded, Li Yi and I looked at each other, looking at the people in front of the food street, we were dumbfounded, too many people!
Li Yi patiently explained to me, "Today is Sunday, there are many schools and a park next to it, so there are a lot of people. ”
I don't like to have physical contact with others, maybe I often meet guests who rub oil at the party, and I have a conditioned reflex, and Li Yi's mouth is very tricky, he definitely doesn't want to eat food from the food court, he brought me here purely to meet my personal needs.
I turned my head and found that there was also a food street opposite, but compared to the crowds here, where the street lights were scattered and dimly lit, I took Li Yi's hand and said, "Forget it, there are too many people here, we won't go in, there are too many people." It's also a food street. ”
The cold wind is blowing, I have never been so cold, wrapped thickly, I still don't know where the wind is pouring into the clothes, or from the sleeves, or from the trousers, the coolness swims to the whole body, and the underwear that sticks to the skin is cold. I put my hands to my mouth, exhaling hot air to warm my hands, Li Yi held my hand, rubbed it, and even rubbed a layer of dirty sugar, he was not dirty, he kneaded more diligently, and unconsciously kneaded both hands. He couldn't help but complain, "Why are your hands so cold, your whole body is ice, like an ice cube." ”
I also moved closer to him, resting my other hand between his arm and coat, as if holding his arm and leaning on, he put my hand in his pocket, "That's an old food street, few people go there, most of the food shops have moved here, are you sure you want to go there?"
I interlocked my fingers with Li Yi in my pocket, "Just go, go shopping, anyway, if you meet gangsters, they will definitely rob you of your wealth and your sex!"
Li Yi sneered, his cold lines softened, and he bent his arm to hold my hand and said, "The security here in Hangzhou is very good, there are patrol police all around, and I am here, what are you afraid of?"
I tried to hold back a smile and not refute his arrogant remarks, after all, men are good-looking. Li Yi and I walked into the food street opposite, there were a few shops open sporadically, there were few customers, there was nothing to shop, and there was an urge to go home.
We passed by a barbecue shop, and suddenly someone greeted us with a smile, "Hey, sir, miss, the ingredients used in our barbecue are fresh, would you like to try it?"
I looked back and saw the proprietress with an overly enthusiastic round face, and smiled at us very attentively, it should be the proprietress in her forties, about forty years old, and there was a man of about the same age standing next to her, who was seriously skewering leeks with his head down.
Seeing that we didn't speak, the woman continued to introduce, "We are all time-honored brands, I have been operating this food street for almost ten years, the meat and seafood we use are good, my husband used to be the chef of the hotel, and the meat he grilled is delicious, if you don't believe it, you can taste it?"
"Do you want it?" asked me.
I glanced at the proprietress who kept rubbing her hands, it was really cold this day, there were so few people here, and it was not easy to do business, and my mouth was idle and there was nothing to do, I also wanted to eat, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, let's have two skewers of barbecue first!"
The proprietress smiled happily and touched the man with her arm, "You pick the pork belly for them, it will be more delicious when grilled." ”
The man looked very wooden, and when he heard this, he began to look carefully in the meat skewers for a while, and then picked up two skewers of meat and put them in the oven, and the oven smelled of smoke, and the man patted the woman's and kept the woman away from the source of the smoke.
This kind of inadvertent warmth made my heart slammed into something, and I looked up and said to Li Yi, "We don't want to buy more, let's give Uncle Li and Aunt Li some." Then I turned to the proprietress and said, "We'll have ten more skewers, two more leeks, and a corn cob." ”
"Okay!" the proprietress responded happily, and while she was busy with her work, she chatted with us, "You two are outsiders, right? ”
It's also strange to say, Li Yi, who has always disdained to ignore others and is high-minded, actually took the initiative to speak, "I studied for three years in the second elementary school opposite, and followed my family away, and my grandfather is from here." ”
The proprietress laughed, "It turned out that I brought my girlfriend back to meet my parents, no wonder I looked at the relationship so good, girl, you must be right to pick this gentleman, just now I watched him give you hot hands, how many young people today are so good-tempered?
For the wedding, I listened to the hostess ask myself this, and I didn't know what to say. It is impossible for Li Yi and I to get married, even if we can not mention it and deliberately avoid it, it will pop up from time to time, scratch it, and make people uneasy.
The proprietress was stunned when she saw me, laughed happily, and quipped, "Little girl, it is very formal and serious for us to meet our parents here, if the man takes the woman home and goes to the ancestral temple to burn incense, it will be officially engaged." ”
Li Yi next to me put his hand on my shoulder, landed me in front of him, stood slightly to the right, blocked the wind blowing from the wind, and said coldly, "I will go to the ancestral temple tomorrow to burn incense!"
I looked up at Li Yi and smiled, even if it is a lie, then let the lie last a little longer.
The proprietress patted the man's shoulder vigorously with her hand and complained, "What do you think of people? Back then, your parents objected, and they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't even dare to take me back to show the family." I suspect that you will only dare to take me home after stealing the household registration book and registering with me. ”
The man let the woman beat him, and said in a muffled voice, "You have been talking about this for almost twenty years." ”
"Don't say twenty years, I have to talk about it for another twenty years, can't I?" the proprietress scolded, and as she spoke, the barbecue was done, and the boss handed the meat skewers to the proprietress, and the proprietress handed them to me, "These are grilled, you wait for another ten minutes, and the other meat skewers will be fine." ”
I took the skewer and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You've been married for almost 20 years? I can't even see it?
The proprietress glanced at her husband and said, "He is a stuffy gourd, even if he quarrels, he can't say a few words, and he can't quarrel at all." ”
Before leaving, the proprietress said to us, "The barbecue is best eaten while it is hot, it is not delicious when it is cold, but as long as it is put into the microwave to heat up for a while, it is still as delicious as before!"
Li Yi and I walked side by side on the empty street, except for a few occasional shouts from vendors, I felt that everything was very illusory, there was a feeling of fluttering, maybe I heard what the proprietress said, a little bit of an illusion that the ground was not touched, Li Yi began to pick up the meat skewers and eat them.
I glanced at Li Yi, and took another skewer of meat to eat, maybe it was too cold, I couldn't taste it, "The proprietress said that she still wanted to eat her barbecue, and I didn't chew it out, especially there, isn't it the same as the one I bought at the supper stall over there before?"
"A woman's mind is simple, and if she doesn't say so, will you buy it?"
I looked at me and lived indignantly, "Li Yi, you look down on women, do you see that the boss lady just now is not very good at doing business? The boss's mouth is so stupid." But I like both of them. The boss's mouth is a little stupid, but he is very diligent, he doesn't let his wife stand in a big smoke, and the boss always says how is my husband? Even if she complains, her husband is very tolerant of her, they have a tacit understanding, such a couple is admirable even if they live in poverty, and this kind of life is very enviable. ”
Li Yi pursed his lips disdainfully, "I don't see anything to envy, a big man has to rely on the help of his wife to do business." If he didn't have his wife, he would definitely starve to death, what kind of man is capable of?"
"Of course you can't see it, because you don't have to stand on the street on a cold night and sell barbecue. You are born with too many things, so you think that a man should have the ability to do a career. But many people are very ordinary and live a very ordinary life. In fact, what's wrong with this ordinary life? You may quarrel and worry about your livelihood, but as long as someone will back down and forgive, it will be nice if it is that person who accompanies you. People shouldn't be greedy too much, so they don't know what they want most. ”
I took advantage of the dim light to roll my eyes a few times, grimaced at him, and laughed at him, "You, Young Master Li, can even scrambled eggs into charcoal, you are the life of Brother Gongzi, and you definitely don't understand our grassroots life."
I was snickering and succeeding, when my cold cheeks were pinched by a cold hand, and tears were about to come. Li Yi sarcastically said, "Listen to you say that men don't want to do things, what's the use of such a man, he doesn't even have the ability to support the family, and the man has to have a sense of responsibility......."
I broke Li Yi's hand with my hand, rubbed the sore spot on my face, and said softly, "I don't mean that anymore, you misunderstood my words, did I say that men don't have to take responsibility, I mean that there is an ordinary life, and there is a rich life, everyone stands in a different position and thinks about different things." Many people are wives and children. I am envious, it is admiration, in fact, people are envious, ordinary people want to live a rich life, people, always get this, just want to get another. ”
Li Yi grabbed my hand, snatched my paper bag, stared at me with a pair of bright eyes, and suddenly said, "Actually, this is the life you want!"
Yes, this is the life I want, I experienced a broken family too early, which made me want a stable life more than others, a complete home, that person doesn't need to be very capable, how good he is, how rich, he just needs to love me and protect me for the rest of my life.
I am different from Li Yi, he is born to take on too many things, and at the same time he is such a strong and proud person. I can't believe that if one day, Li Yi accompanies me to sell barbecue in the winter, I myself will feel sorry for him, how can I be willing to let him fall into that way, how can I be willing to embarrass him.
Although I don't quite understand what is going on between the Li family and the Xia family, there are too many inextricable links between officials and businessmen, and that can be separated from that, and many times it is not that you want to withdraw, you can withdraw. In recent years, the Li family has developed so fast and so big, and the reason for this is self-evident. If it was an ordinary marriage of a wealthy family, according to Li Yi's usual temperament, he would have rebelled a long time ago, and the marriage between the Li family and the Xia family, I'm afraid Li Yi is just a chess piece.
I took a bite of the barbecue, and said heartlessly, "How is it possible?" I don't want to come out to sell barbecue in the winter, this kind of day is too bitter, I just want to say, I have said that people are in the blessing and do not know the blessing, I see the happiness of others, and I can't see them racking their brains for the education of their children, for life, I don't know how much hot face they have lost. Okay, let's go back, it's too cold outside. ”
As a result, he took me around a corner, walked back again, walked for a while, and a door appeared, and actually came to a street selling rag dolls, large and small rag dolls were placed all over the street, he took my hand and said with great interest, "There is a rag doll manufacturing factory around here, the rag dolls here are of good quality, meticulous workmanship, and cheap." Don't you like dolls very much?"
I was a little stiff for a while, I like dolls, but at most I want a ceramic cup, Li Yi has already squatted in front of a stall, holding a big rag doll and fiddling, the corners of his mouth are curved upturned, his expression is a little childish, fiddling for a while He turned his head and beckoned to her, "Come here." ”
Rag dolls are a bit out of place for me now, because I'm 20 years old after all, and I'm already past the season of dreaming, but how can that girl refuse the temptation of such a cute rag doll?
Now it's almost winter, there are very few people who come to Hangzhou to travel, there are too many rag dolls on the ground, the boss saw that there were guests, enthusiastically took out several dolls from the box, and said with a smile Let us see casually. He also grabbed a rag doll and stuffed it into me, a half-human-tall Di Bear big doll, warm and comfortable to hold, the boss didn't say anything, let me hold it. I let go and hug this one and pinch that like a child.
Li Yi found me several dolls again, and asked the boss to calculate the money, the boss squinted and said, "You know, the dolls produced here are all abroad, the workmanship is beautiful, this is a flocking fabric, the filling material is high-quality silk cotton, the stitches are fine, the market price of this teddy bear is four hundred, and there are three other dolls, the unit price is one hundred, the total is seven hundred, I see that you bought me so much, or I will give you a discount, five hundred yuan, you will take all four dolls away!"
I saw that Li Yi was about to take his wallet, so I pulled down Li Yi's arm, "Why are you buying so much? I don't want so much, we haven't looked at it before, let's take a look at other houses." ”
The boss hurriedly called out to me, "Girl, I'll give you a cheaper price, what other shops have, I have all here." The weather was also cold, so I sold it so I could go back and explain to my wife. How much do you say to give, can I sell it to you if I am suitable?
I thought about it and quoted a price: "Two hundred!"
The boss looked at me dumbfounded, raised his hand and wiped his forehead, "Girl, you are too ruthless in bargaining, my teddy bear costs five hundred yuan, this is not possible, you add some more, at least five hundred!"
I turned on my coquettish mode and said softly, "Boss, you can be cheaper, you see, I can only give three hundred at most." ”
The two of them grinded back and forth, and finally the boss finally agreed to buy it, shouting "This is simply the factory price, no profit at all" on the other hand, he actually found a rope to help him string the doll.
Li Yi next to him was stunned. He looked at me in a daze, I smiled and made a grimace at him, shoved the teddy bear into his arms, and pulled him to continue walking, he had a gloomy face, and asked angrily, "It's not that I don't have money, in order to save so many hundred dollars, it's not necessary, you are not allowed to be coquettish to other men in front of me!"
I smiled at him, snuggled into his arms, and said very solemnly, "This is the fun of spending money, usually you can't look at the hundreds of dollars, as long as you say a few more words, you can save it, or next time, you come to bargain, you will think it is very fun." ”
Li Yi is usually used to being lavant, so he naturally doesn't care about this money, he didn't agree at first, he didn't let me open his mouth to bargain, and I was not allowed to be coquettish to others. Later, but he couldn't stand my friction, and in another shop, he pointed to the clanking cat that the boss asked for 600, and actually said 80 yuan.
I heard him look at him with wide eyes, and he was much harsher than I was. The boss's whole face wrinkled, and the two of them began to rub together, anyway, Li Yi just refused to give in, when I thought that the boss would definitely not sell, Li Yi leaned into the boss's ear and said a word, and then said very seriously, "I know the price you took out in the factory, I opened a toy store, this price, you still have money, I am in urgent need of goods, do you have time to see samples these days.......
I watched Li Yi discuss his toy store with the boss in a serious manner, he lied, he didn't pant for breath, he wasn't even popular, he actually had a clear eye, as if there was really such a small shop, even if the boss who was usually used to seeing people was deceived by him, he was still convinced. I stifled a hard laugh and lowered my head, not daring to look at my boss.
Later, the boss actually stuffed the doll to Li Yi, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll make a little money, my niece works in the factory, and people give me such a low price, this is the factory price, you say that I go to get the goods, it also takes a lot of manpower, I have to make a little money." ”
Li Yi kept his composure and smiled and said, "I know, next time, I'll come to you again to pick up the goods." ”
He looked back at me with a playful smile in his eyes, and I couldn't help but bury my head in the doll anymore and laughed. He took my shoulders around me and took a few steps forward.
After leaving the booth for a long distance, I couldn't restrain myself anymore, and I laughed with a snort, and Li Yi came over. Holding my face, he threatened, "Don't laugh, if you laugh again, I'll kiss you." ”
I kept my mouth shut to show that I wasn't smiling, but he looked down and kissed me on the lips. It was a gentle and long kiss, fine and dense, spring breeze and rain, kissing my whole body soft, he leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Actually, I told the boss, I am a travel company, is about to develop this tourist route, my wife and I happened to come to the honeymoon, just come over to have a look, the doll here can be an attraction, and if he does not sell it to me cheaply, you will be angry." ”
Sure enough, it was an old treacherous and cunning, I hammered Li Yi hard, and sighed for his wife.
