Chapter 183: We're here for a long time
The night is like a heavy ink, the stars are twinkling on the dark blue sky, and the river lanterns on the ground are scattered along the water, a lamp on the water surface reflects a lamp, and the sparkling light against the background of the light actually has a bit of bright and gorgeous artistic conception.
But even with such a view, the river lantern is not a pleasant memory after all. Topics related to death are always inevitably a little heavy.
When the two of them finished putting the river lanterns one by one, the flow of people was close to dispersing, and even the little monk who sold the river lanterns packed up his things and left, only the low whimper of someone who didn't know who was downstream floated over with the wind, as if there was nothing.
"Even in the summer, the water is still very cold." Lin Yu finished putting the last river lantern and slowly stood up, the night was too thick to see his expression clearly.
In fact, the water is not cold, probably just her mental effect, Xiaobai paused slightly, and diverted the topic, "This point, when we walk back, I don't know if there are any snacks sold on Ludao Street." ”
"It's not too early." Lin Yu thought of his relatives and then Lin Ruoyu, who died young, and his mood was inevitably a little depressed. But you can't make others feel unhappy because of your own mood, so you clean up your mood and smile, "If there is no snack seller, I will reluctantly cook for it." ”
The two of them walked slowly back along the way they came, and on this way back, there were no fewer people than they had just been by the river. Although it is not like the earlier rubbing shoulders, there are also some pedestrians who are sparsely pulled.
Therefore, there are many vendors who did not close their stalls, and Xiaobai picked up a good-looking wonton stew and sat down.
"Boss, two bowls of ravioli." Xiaobai greeted the boss.
"It's good, do you want a big bowl and a small bowl?" It was a young couple who opened the wonton stall, and the man answered. "A bowl of big seven wen, a bowl of small five wen."
"A big bowl and a small bowl, do you sell anything other than wontons?" Lin Yu nodded and asked again.
"In addition to wontons, there are also wonton noodles and boiled dumplings, but the dumplings should be freshly wrapped." The boss was very happy and enthusiastic when he saw that there was still business at this point.
"Then forget about your ravioli." Xiaobai waved his hand and kept the boss busy.
After a while, a large bowl and a small bowl of wontons were served, but this big bowl and small bowl can be said to be relative, even if the small bowl is the size of a sea bowl.
The hot soup is filled with white wontons, sprinkled with a little chopped coriander and shredded pickles, and dripping with a few drops of sesame oil and vinegar to whet your appetite.
After tossing for so long, both of them were hungry, not to mention Xiaobai, Lin Yu only ate a little bit at night, and he didn't have much appetite. At this moment, looking at this tempting wonton, I also had a great appetite, and I ate it elegantly but quickly.
This wonton tastes really good, and the boss also comes with a small plate of pickled wild vegetables as a side dish. Lin Yu ate half of the bowl in one breath before stopping, and when she looked up, Xiao Bai was eating faster than her, and the small basin seemed to be half a bowl of wontons. However, although he eats quickly, his eating appearance is very elegant and good-looking, he really eats like a cat and eats like a tiger.
"Are you full?" Xiaobai ate so much in one go, and he was also half full, looked at Lin Yu and stopped his chopsticks and asked.
"Almost." Lin Yu smiled, "The wontons here are really good." ”
The boss over there heard the guests praising his craftsmanship, and said with a little pride, "Our family has been making wontons since the previous generation, and naturally there are some secrets." ”
"Are you full?" Lin Yu and the boss exchanged a few words, seeing that Xiaobai had already seen the bottom of the bowl, remembering that the amount of food he had eaten every day was quite amazing, so he asked, "If you haven't eaten enough, let's have another bowl." ”
"Then another small bowl." Xiaobai said to the boss over there.
"Okay."
At this time, Xiaobai was half full and had the leisure to speak, "It's a pity, I originally planned to plan some programs, but unfortunately I came back too late." ”
"What kind of show did you plan to make?" Lin Yu had always been very curious and asked.
"Forget it, it's not interesting to talk about it now, I just thought that your father had died, so I asked someone to hold a small puja." Xiaobai hung his head and poked at the bottom of the bowl and said, "You don't think I'm not creative, but after all, it's the Midyear Festival." And I think, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first, and if I please my father-in-law, won't I please you. ”
Lin Yu was stunned, and then smiled gently, although Xiaobai was not paying tribute to his father, but Lin Ruoyu's father. This move still made Lin Yu feel good, a person who knows how to be filial and respects the elderly, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad. And a person who respects and loves your parents is the one who can be married to a woman.
The size of the person you marry determines whether you will eat and drink spicy food or live in poverty in the future, but you can live a good life by your own efforts, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, life can always get better and better.
And the character of the person who marries determines whether a woman will be happy in the future, or even whether she can live it well. If he is the real Lin Ruoyu, it is difficult not to be moved in front of the Dharma meeting that Xiaobai specially teaches people.
However, after all, the sky was relatively dark, and there were no electric lights in ancient times, only oil lamps, and the light was dim, Xiaobai didn't see Lin Yu's soft expression very clearly, but was depressed by himself.
"As a result, I came back too late, and Senior Ouyang didn't take you to see it. Originally, I planned to plan well, but now I can only put a few river lanterns with you, and then eat wontons at the stall together. The more Bai spoke, the more frustrated he became.
Lin Yu interrupted him and said with a smile, "Actually, Senior Ouyang wants to ask me to go shopping together." ”
"And then?"
"And then I was a little worried about you, so I didn't go no matter what he said." Lin Yu paused, and his voice was slightly lower, "Actually, as long as the person is right, it's not bad to put the river lantern and eat wontons." Also, Zhongyuan missed, there is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang, and many, many festivals. ”
"Huh?" Bai Feiruo raised his head and looked at her in surprise, he felt that his heart warmed up all of a sudden, and that kind of light seemed to rush out of his chest. He couldn't help but clutch his chest, as if he was afraid that his heart would jump out of it.
She mustered up her courage, but she couldn't help lowering her eyes, but she couldn't help but look at him quietly, "If you want, we have the year after next year, many, many years." It's a long time coming. ”
Xiaobai's mouth kept grinning, and the first time he laughed was a little silly, he slowly calmed down after half a sound, "Yes, we have a long time coming." ”
The two expressed their hearts to each other here, tenderness and sweetness, and the wonton stall owner over there was embarrassed, and he was about to come over when the wonton was just cooked, but was stopped by his wife.
"You idiot." Looking at this pair of little men and women, the proprietress who couldn't help but smile twisted the boss's arm, "I didn't see the little couple being you and me, what did you do in the past?" Where is the pestle used as a pillar? Those who obstruct a person's marriage will be kicked by a donkey. ”
The boss also turned around, put the bowl aside, and recalled the past, "Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning?" ”
"How can you not remember!" The proprietress of the wonton stall said indignantly: "When I was young, I was coaxed by you. ”
"What, you regret it?"
"I regret it, I gave birth to all the children." The proprietress whispered, glanced at Lin Yu again, and pushed the boss who was about to come over with a smile, "Come on, the two of them have finished talking." ”
As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, Xiaobai urged, "Isn't that bowl of wontons ready yet?" ”
"Okay, I'll take it over." The owner of the wonton stall hurriedly brought the wontons over.
It's really not early, Xiaobai hurriedly finished eating the wontons, and the wonton stall owners and their families are also cleaning up their belongings. After paying, Lin Yu and Xiaobai walked back along the street, and Pearl saw that Lin Yu came back at this point, yawning and complaining.
"Bai Gongzi, you are really, you just brought my young lady back at this point. Fortunately, I'm out there now, and if it's at home, I won't depend on you anyway. ”
The ancients rested early, and it is no wonder that pearls chattered at this point in the past. Lin Yu stuck out her tongue, threw down Xiaobai's wordiness in the face of the pearl, turned around and went back to the house to wash first, she was really tired after tossing for so long.
But Pearl soon died down, and she had to rest soon when it was not too early, and there was no time to mumble. Xiaobai grimaced at Pearl who turned his head back to the house, and went back to wash and rest.
There was nothing to do overnight, and a few people went shopping on the morning of the second day, bought some Cangzhou local products on the street, and set off again in the afternoon. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, their destination never changed. However, this time it is not as shabby as before, and four carriages and a dozen horses are also considered a small convoy.
The queue out of the city is separate from the one entering the city, but both are quite long and require a queue. Disgusted with the stuffiness in the carriage, she rode a horse by herself this time, and her vision was very broad. Because the line was going very slowly, she kept looking around, and she really saw a very interesting person.
"Xiaobai, you see someone on the roof of the carriage." Lin Yu whispered to Bai Feiruo, but he was polite and didn't point his finger at others. "The one who was lying on the roof of the carriage with a straw hat over his face."
"Really, do you think he's really napping or fake napping? Is it possible to sleep with such a noise? Xiaobai also saw that, and it was quite conspicuous.
"I think it's to close your eyes and recuperate." Lin Yu said, "However, it seems that he is also a very interesting person to make such a gesture in the downtown area." Seeing that he doesn't seem to be very old, he is also very well dressed, I have seen that material, don't look down, I heard your sister say twenty taels of silver a horse. It is estimated that it should be a young additional son, but I don't know what Lu Dao looks like. ”
"Hey, what do you care about people's appearance? Who could be better looking than me? Xiaobai was a little dissatisfied and protested softly.
"Curiosity, everyone has curiosity, right?" Lin Yu patted Xiaobai with a smile and said softly, "I also allow you to look at the beauty, but you can only look at it, don't think about anything else." ”
For the ancients, Lin Yu's words were quite bold, but everyone can understand them. Everyone around them covered their mouths and laughed kindly, and the people on the roof of the carriage over there seemed to hear her speak, so they took off their straw hats and glanced over here, showing a shallow smile.
This glance made Lin Yu a little surprised, "What a handsome son, his eyes are so bright." ”
"Hey, Xiaoyu, look here, aren't my facial features more beautiful than his?"
"It's not a type." Lin Yu waved his hand, and when he looked over there, the man put the straw hat on again.
"It's a pity, we're leaving, otherwise I really want to make friends with him, he should be a person with a story." Lin Yu smiled, turned his head, and stopped paying attention.
