Chapter 3 Cao Rui
After living at my uncle's house for more than half a year, I finally had my favorite winter vacation, and I could finally go home! I couldn't stop being excited to see my grandmother and parents soon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Shanghai is a lively Chinese New Year, how about I take you to Yu Garden to see the lanterns?" Lou Junshu tilted his head to look at me, "If you are not here, I will be bored." ”
I took care of my own package, and thought: I am here to relieve your boredom.
"How about I give you half of the New Year's money? ”
I ignore her, my heart is like an arrow, money, can't tempt me at all!
"Why don't you take me with you?" Lou Junshu blinked her big eyes, revealing a pitiful look.
I've been bullied by her for so long, and I'm most familiar with her expression of pretending in front of adults!
"Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with your family?"
"Come back before Chinese New Year's Eve. Lou Junshu hooked my arm, "I heard that there are a lot of interesting things in the countryside, how about it, okay?"
"You're going to take the college entrance examination next semester, and grandpa won't let you go. "I decided to move out of Grandpa Lou, who can best cure her, I don't want to be oppressed by this little devil during the beautiful winter vacation.
"You can rest assured, I can pass the score line of the art department with my eyes closed. ”
"Art Department?!" I was quite surprised, Lou Junshu was such a top student who only took the art department, which is a waste of talent!
"yes, the art department is easy. Lou Junshu disagreed, "Let's say it's decided, I'll ask grandpa for instructions." ”
As a result, Grandpa Lou did not stop Lou Junshu's whim as I expected, and he even approved of her and me going to the countryside to experience life.
In this way, I took Lou Junshu all the way to the bumpy road, took the train and changed cars, and finally came to my hometown, Taihe County in Fuyang, Anhui Province.
When it comes to Anhui, Shanghainese always look at it with colored eyes, and indeed, Anhui is indispensable among the top ten poor townships in the country every year. Due to the difference in geographical location and environmental conditions, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in Anhui, but this cannot bury Anhui is a place with a long history and rich heritage. Bozhou, which is known because of Cao Cao, Wuyang, the birthplace of Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist school, Mengcheng, where celebrities gathered, Fengyang, where Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built the capital, and Hexian where Liu Yuxi was an official in "Burrow Ming", Anqing, which is full of footprints of modern young revolutionaries, is because of the "Tongcheng faction" Tongcheng, which is recorded in the history of Chinese literature, Shou County, which became an underground museum due to the fall of the Chu State, Huizhou, which is famous for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Qianshan, the birthplace of opera, Yixian, the paradise of Tao Yuanming, She County, which retains the archway group of chastity, and Huangshan, which is famous all over the world. Taihe, located in the northwest border of Anhui Province, was founded in the Qin Dynasty, meaning "peace and harmony, political harmony", and is famous for mint, toon, cherry, and vermicelli.
As soon as Lou Junshu arrived at my house for his first meal, my mother served toon as a hospitality. Lou Junshu didn't seem to have seen this kind of plant, he looked at it for a long time, put it in his mouth, and frowned after only two bites, but he still swallowed it because of his feelings, and never put the chopsticks on the toon's plate after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup.
Toon has a strange smell, and like coriander, those who like it are very delicious, and those who don't like it smell and change color.
After the meal, Lou Junshu took the initiative to ask to see the prototype of the toon, and I handed her the dried toon.
"I always think I've seen it somewhere?" Lou Junshu pouted, "Don't you have fresh toons at home?"
"This thing grows around Qingming, and the season hasn't come yet. "I don't understand why Lou Junshu is so curious about it.
"Oops!" she suddenly cried out, her face frightened, "your family is so horrible, how do you eat such a thing?"
"What's wrong with this, toons are very nutritious!"
"This thing grows on the edge of the grave!" Lou Junshu said as he covered his mouth and vomited.
"It's artificially cultivated! you're saying it's wild!" I shook my head uncontrollably.
"Oh, oh, I have an upset stomach. Lou Junshu actually began to call because of that toon, "Tomorrow I want to eat old hen stew, I read it in your chicken coop just now, your hen doesn't eat feed and eats wheat husk, that is the most nutritious, please talk to your mother." ”
"Got it. I laughed unhappily.
The next day, I took Lou Junshu for a walk around the ridges in the countryside. Lou Junshu is not as squeamish as a city child, he is very curious about things in the countryside, and even the neighbor's local dog has to pretend to lead him around.
"We don't have anyone walking dogs like that. "I looked at the big yellow dog who was put on a coat and led by Lou Junshu, and I was amused.
"I really want to have a dog, but grandpa won't let me, you just let me have a good time. Lou Junshu stuffed bones for the big yellow dog and touched its head, "Ah Fu, I will be your master from today onwards." ”
I was very unhappy with Lou Junshu's new name because that's what the neighbors called me.
In the evening, we took the big yellow dog back to the neighbor's house.
Aunt Li of the neighbor said to Lou Junshu with a smile: "During this time, you can play with it, our dog is everywhere, and this one also ran in by itself." ”
"Aunt Li, when will Cao Rui and his brother come?"
"Come on, tomorrow, you'll have playmates by then. ”
"Who is Cao Rui?" Lou Junshu turned his head and asked, "Are you good-looking?"
"Not really. I quickly shook my head in shame.
Cao Rui and Cao Zhi are a pair of brothers who are 4 years apart, relatives of Aunt Li. After Aunt Li married next door, maybe she was lonely, and she had close contact with her mother's family, and the Cao brothers were her sister's sons, and they seemed to be very affectionate to this aunt, and they had to come to live for a while every winter and summer vacation.
Since I'm a single girl, I really want to have an older brother, so I'm very happy when they come. Cao Rui was a few months older than me, tall and chubby like a bear, while his brother was very thin and didn't talk much. I often joked if Cao Rui used to rob his brother of things to eat when he was a child, and he said: "The wheat in the same field also grows differently, let alone people." ”
Early the next morning, Lou Junshu and I were still under the covers, and we were woken up by Cao Rui's loud voice.
"Bless, bless, why are you still lying in bed?" I heard Cao Rui knock on the door, followed by a loud "Ah!"
I hurriedly got up from the quilt, opened the door and saw Cao Rui and Lou Junshu staring at each other.
At this time, Lou Junshu had just gotten out of bed, and she was wearing a cotton coat, revealing two slender legs with white flowers.
"Who are you, why are you dressed like this?" Cao Rui's face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes looked at the ceiling.
Lou Junshu was very calm, she turned to me: "The hot water bottle was not tightened last night, the quilt and pants are wet, you borrow a pair of cotton wool pants for me." ”
When I went back to the room to change my pants, Cao Rui grabbed me: "Who is she?"
"My classmate in Shanghai. ”
"Classmate, you've only been in Shanghai for half a year, why did she come back with you?"
"She is also my neighbor, and she usually takes care of me. "All I can say is this, although I always thought that she bullied me a little more than caring.
"No wonder, girls in Shanghai are more open. Cao Rui muttered and blushed a little.
"I said, is this at your house? What do I wear is none of your business!" Lou Junshu walked out at some point, she crossed her hands on her chest, leaned against the door frame, and looked at Cao Rui with an unkind face.
"You! why are you girls talking so rudely. Cao Rui was also taken aback.
"Damn! Your aunt and grandmother, I see someone and say something. Lou Junshu stepped forward and forced Cao Rui, who was half a head taller than her, to take a step back.
I've never seen Lou Junshu like this, and his expression is just like that of a ruffian. I suddenly thought of Liao Kai and his friends in the alley that day, was Lou Junshu like this when she was with them?
I didn't expect that Lou Junshu and Cao Rui's first meeting would not be very pleasant, and I was embarrassed to refuse in the face of Aunt Li, who warmly invited us to lunch.
"Why don't you go?" Lou Junshu smiled at me playfully as if nothing had happened, "She won't entertain me with toons, right?"
Stepping into the threshold of Aunt Li's house, I saw Cao Rui sitting at the round table looking at us, not so much that he was still angry, but that he was a little disdainful of Lou Junshu.
Lou Junshu didn't take him seriously, showing his usual flattering expression and greeting the adults one by one, and when he turned to Cao Rui, he was still a little holding a shelf, but Lou Junshu smiled.
"This is Cao Zhi and Cao Rui, this is a little book from Shanghai. Aunt Li didn't know that Cao Rui and Lou Junshu had already fought each other, "Xiaoshu and Cao Rui should be the same age." ”
"Hello, Cao Zhi. Hello, Cao Rui. "Lou Junshu is so good at acting that even I can't help but wonder if the conflict in the morning has happened.
It is estimated that Cao Rui and I also have the same idea now, otherwise there would be no trace of confusion on his face.
After a meal, Lou Junshu treated Cao Rui as air, and he didn't even look at him, which made Cao Rui even more puzzled, and he turned his eyes over from time to time.
Cao Rui is Lou Junshu's opponent, finally, he couldn't help it, taking the opportunity of everyone to go out to play, he grabbed Lou Junshu, and was about to speak, but was thrown away by Lou Junshu.
"Don't pull and pull, men and women don't kiss. After speaking, Lou Junshu walked to Cao Zhi's side.
Cao Rui was quite depressed, and silently followed us and kicked the stones.
