"A plate of saltwater shrimp, a plate of oily fish than a pipe fish." It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, there are not many customers left in the store, Chen Anxiu washed the handle, brought out the two dishes that had just come out of the pot, and followed the third grandfather to set up a fruit stall at the door, with a small straw hat on his head, holding a peach in his hand, and a small body with whirring meat, not very honestly sitting on a huge corn futon.

There was a plane passing by in the clear sky, Chen Anxiu looked up, Zhang Shinian called back and said, tons of planes are at one o'clock this afternoon, this time should also take off, right? His parents said that he was ruthless, and he was only how old he was this year, so he couldn't bear to leave him alone in the United States.

Chen's mother came over with a few newly sewn quilts, ready to put on the newly made quilts, and saw him standing stupidly in the middle of the yard, and said without a smile on his face, "I regret it, I asked you to go with me, but you didn't listen." ”

Chen Anxiu retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Tons of tons are to see the second elder of the Zhang family, how can they be regarded as his grandparents, and they are not going to Longtan Tiger's Den, it is the same whether I go or not." ”

"You just have a hard mouth, everyone is gone, and I won't talk about you anymore." The heavier his mind became, the more he pretended to be like a person who had nothing to do, and Chen's mother comforted him in turn, "It's only a month after all, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Okay, I know what to do, Mom, hurry up and go."

Mao Mao heard his father's voice and staggered to his feet, and the third grandfather quickly dropped the peach he was weighing in his hand and supported his waist from behind.

"Risky and obediently follow the third master to sell peaches, and when you are done, Dad will take you home."

Mao Mao understood, and sat back again.

*

Zhang Shinian went to Beijing, and he couldn't come back that day, and the Lounan family went down the mountain if they had something, and they weren't there, so Chen Anxiu took the two of them to live on the mountain, and discussed it with the second elder of the Ji family, and the four of them decided to go back to Chenjia Village for two nights.

The second elder of the Ji family lived in Chen Anxiu's original room, Chen's mother changed into new sheets and quilts, Chen Anxiu took Mao Mao to the front neighbor and the third grandfather to squeeze, recently someone gave Chen's father two little yellow finch, after dinner, people often come to the door to drink tea and watch the birds, many of them know the old man, know that this is a relative of the Chen family, so they pull together to talk, Chen's mother and the old lady hold Mao Mao in the back room to talk.

Chen Anxiu took a hand lamp to the vegetable cellar and picked up a big watermelon, the vegetable cellar is underground, even in this summer, it is very cool inside, the watermelon placed in it does not need to be chilled in the refrigerator, it is also cool, he washed the watermelon under the faucet in the yard.

The tea drinker next to him saw the watermelon he was washing and said, "An Xiu, your watermelon is really not small, I think this is twenty catties smaller." ”

Another person said, "I see a lot, twenty-five pounds, let me weigh it." ”

Speaking of this watermelon, everyone doesn't drink tea anymore, they all come around to guess the weight, there are scales at home, put them under the eaves, Chen's father holds the watermelon and puts it on the scale, Chen Anxiu looks at the lamp, almost twenty-two pounds, everyone knows that the watermelon grown on the sand by the river is sandy and sweet, but like the watermelon of the Chen family is so big, it is not very common, the watermelon is already naturally ripe, when cutting, the tip of the knife just went in a little, the watermelon was crisp and cracked from the middle, Chen Anxiu left more than half for everyone in the yard, Chen's mother, who brought a small half of the gift, sent it over.

The TV in the house was turned on from the time of eating, and it was not turned off at this time, Chen Anxiu nested on the sofa and nibbled on the watermelon, picked a film about the Anti-Japanese War and stared at it for a while, the exaggerated and one-sided plot made people drowsy, and Zhang Shinian called back halfway, I don't know what the road is doing, the environment is not noisy, but it doesn't sound like being at home.

Sure enough, I heard Zhang Shinian say, "Get together with a few friends outside." ”

Chen Anxiu didn't ask him about his preferences for the details of the trip, but said, "Don't drink too much and go back early." ”

Zhang Shinian laughed very softly over there, "I'll listen to you." ”

I don't know if it's the reason why the sound quality of the mobile phone is too good, the low-alcohol voice brushes through the ears, and it tickles a little in my heart.

"When are you coming back?"

"There's still some things to take care of, and I'm probably going to be in Beijing for a week."

"Well, I know what to do." A week is not too long, nor is it too short, this is in China, sometimes if Zhang Shinian goes abroad, it is common not to see people for more than a month.

Chen Anxiu asked some tons of things again, and when he was about to hang up the phone, he heard a charming and sweet female voice over there say, "Why is Mr. Zhang here alone?" Everyone is waiting for you in the room. ”

Chen Anxiu smiled without changing his tone, "It turns out that Mr. Zhang is so busy, then you are busy first, and we will talk about it another day." After finishing speaking, he also politely said that he hung up the phone after seeing him, he didn't have clairvoyance, so he wouldn't see the woman's instantly pale face when she saw Zhang Shinian holding the phone in her hand, she knew that she had committed a taboo, what kind of identity was everyone in the private room today, she had a rough idea in her heart, but anyone who climbed any of them, even if he was only a lover, was also a chance for the sparrow to become a phoenix, but this Mr. Zhang was extremely cold, no one could get close, she thought that this chase was an opportunity.

Zhang Shinian's expression was very cold, and he didn't pay attention to the woman who was stunned on the spot with exquisite makeup, turned around and went back to the room, inside were a few old friends who had known each other for many years, I hadn't seen them for a long time, this time they were all in Beijing, so they came out together, they all heard more or less about Zhang Shinian and a young boy, and I heard that they took it home to see their parents, but they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, and they always felt that this thing was too bizarre. ”

Zhang Shinian smiled and sat down again, "Let you laugh, I'm afraid he'll be worried at home, I'll call and take the initiative to report." ”

He said it very ordinarily, but he threw a bomb at other people, and the nerves of the people who blew up the ground were almost confused, in their concept, it was too normal for men to socialize outside, even if there were so many people who needed to report, they would not publicly admit that this person was still a man in the family, this attitude ...... Thee was a little more generous. After the confusion, everyone reacted and said that if they had the opportunity, they must meet that person, an absolute master, brave and strong, and a skilled man.

Chen Anxiu, who was still on Green Island, didn't know what to say at all, his reputation for gentleness and kindness was destroyed by Zhang Shinian's words, of course, not long after him, he participated in Zhang Shinian's friend party for the first time, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of those admiring and admiring eyes at all, and he was secretly proud of his kind temper and very handsome, so everyone loved him.

Chen's mother came out of the back room with a drowsy woman, and saw Chen Anxiu sitting on the sofa with her legs folded and trying to laugh or not, "Who did you call just now, why is it so weird?" ”

Chen Anxiu rubbed the corners of his stiff mouth, jumped up and asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”

"I saw a flash outside just now, don't wait for it to rain, you shouted to the third grandfather to go back to sleep early. Go to your third grandfather's house, don't let your third grandfather do it, clean up by yourself. ”

"I know this, Mom." Chen Anxiu took the weighty little fat man over, and when he arrived in the yard, he could clearly hear the muffled thunder, there was no starlight in the sky, and the others were ready to disperse when they saw this, the street lights on the street were on until ten o'clock, and it would still be on, Chen Anxiu didn't bring a flashlight, he held Mao Mao in one hand, and walked home with the third grandfather in the other.

When he got home, the third grandfather opened the door first, fumbled and turned on the light, "Put the bubbling on the blanket." ”

The third grandfather lived alone, and there were very few things on the kang, just a pillow, a blanket and a summer quilt.

The rain outside hasn't fallen yet, but the wind has already risen, the wind is still very strong, and the door of the house that was not closed was blown open, Chen Anxiu took some hot water from the solar energy, and asked the third grandfather to wash his hands and feet first, he went to the cabinet and picked up some quilts and pillows to come out, these things were dismantled and washed by Chen's mother in the spring and autumn, and some were put by Chen Anxiu, so he knew very well where the things were.

After the third grandfather finished washing, Chen Anxiu poured out the water, went to the bathroom to wash his face, locked the courtyard door, and closed the door and window from the inside. When he went back, the third grandfather was holding the bed silk quilt folded and folded it for Mao Mao to cushion under his head as a pillow, Chen An Xiu knew that the third grandfather was very hurt to these two children, when the two children were full moon, he gave them longevity locks and small bracelets, Mao Mao was so fat, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he had nothing to do with his back.

"Third grandfather, I'll turn off the lights, let's go to bed early, risk every day in front of you, when can't you see it?"

The third grandfather pulled his sleeves and trouser legs, "It's good for us to be bold, unlike other children who cry when they don't like it." I took him out to sell peaches today, and he didn't go anywhere. ”

"He wants to go, will he go?" Wobbly, slower than penguins, "When he grows up, if you don't bother him, I will let him follow you every day, and when he gets married, you will also live with him." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid I won't live to that age."

"Twenty years, not long. It's here as you talk, I'm also big for you, and it's not thirty years old when I'm talking. ”

"That's what I said, turn off the lights, be strong, go to bed early, tomorrow won't be easy."

When Chen Anxiu lay down, he heard that the rain outside began to fall, at first it was very small, and he couldn't hear it in the wind, but then it became a little bigger, it was normal for it to rain in summer, but no one expected that the rain would fall so heavily this time, and it rained for two days and one night in a row, and the water of the river and reservoir overflowed. Chenjia Village is located in the mountain col, the terrain is low, it is easy to store water when it rains, this is even better, the water on the street is knee-deep, not to mention the car, it is difficult for people to go out.
