The front yard was brightly lit, and the light of the fire was reflected in the sky, creating an illusion of dusk in the tofu-sized sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Aizhen knelt on a futon, and she could smell the residual smoke and floating ash between her breaths, as if to remind her that she was a survivor, who had just struggled out of the ruins of the catastrophe - death, not just a catastrophe.

In summer, the coffin can't be stored for a long time, Rao has prepared ice packs, and he has to be buried as soon as possible. The day after tomorrow, there is only one photo taken by Mrs. Xiang in front of the worship hall last year. And Ai Zhen has seen it, that photo actually doesn't look like her grandmother at all, her expression looks very restrained, and her facial features don't look like they grow on her face. Whoever sees that photo will not mistakenly think that she is still alive in the world, and that Mrs. Xiang has died in the black frame.

The chanting of the monks in the neighboring courtyard seemed to be thousands of miles away, and at a certain moment love was really mistaken for her own hallucination, but she listened carefully but drowned in the wind, which was not real, and she suddenly felt very sad. I don't know if it's because of my grandmother who hasn't been with me for a long time, or because of this timely situation. It is commonly said that the heart is calm and naturally cool, but on such a hot day, she feels that there is no noise in her heart, only melancholy.

"Third cousin, fourth cousin."

She turned her head in astonishment and found that the person who came was the tenth cousin of the Guan family, Xiao Chengrui, whom she had seen on the first day of returning to Huaijing. He wore a black suit, but for some reason he lacked the wrong button, and the placket of his shirt was crooked. Cheng Rui held two paper bags in both hands, first handed one of them to Hui Zhen, and then Ai Zhen.

He was supposed to eat at the feast, but no one followed, and he didn't know how he had come here. Although Ai Zhen was puzzled, he still asked softly, "Tenth cousin, what is this?" ”

Cheng Rui scratched his head and said seriously: "This is a snack that my brother Cheng Qian specially bought, and I said I would give it to you, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity." This time I came to pay respects to my aunt and grandmother, and it is not good to disturb you later, because I am a child and I am inconspicuous, so I secretly ran over. My brother said, I hope you don't affect your body because of too much sadness. After speaking, he dared to look at Huizhen with straight eyes, and his expression was a little twisted, "The fourth cousin mentioned to my brother last time that I like to eat Qingyuanzhai sesame cake with walnut kernels, so my brother specially bought it this time." ”

Hui Zhen was surprised, was silent, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, and thank you." She completely forgot when she had mentioned to Cheng Qian that she liked to eat that kind of sesame cake, but he was so attentive that he deliberately wrote it down.

Cheng Rui continued to say with a straight look: "Please also ask the fourth cousin not to think that my brother is frivolous." After speaking, his face was also red, and he looked very shy as Cheng Qian. He bowed and said, "Then, I'll leave first." ”

Hui Zhen called out to him: "Tenth cousin, wait." Cheng Rui had already jumped out of the threshold, but when he heard this, he had to run back, but he kept his head firmly down, and he refused to look at people's appearances.

Hui Zhen nodded on his chest, "Silly boy, you missed a button, don't you see?" ”

"Ahh Cheng Rui came back to his senses and looked down blankly.

Hui Zhen reached out to help him unbutton it, tied it back to the correct position one by one, patted Cheng Rui's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go back quickly, if your mother doesn't find you, she will be in a hurry." ”

Cheng Rui lowered his red face, obviously with his eyes down, and accidentally stumbled on the threshold when he went out. Hui Zhen was busy behind him and whispered, "Be careful! But it made Cheng Rui even more ashamed. He didn't dare to look up, and slowed down his steps, but bumped into an old mother in front of the yard. The old mother was holding a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand, ready to knock melon seeds to pass the time, her arm taught people to knock people, and the melon seeds in her hand were all sprinkled, she couldn't help shouting: "Ouch-" Seeing that Cheng Rui was a neatly dressed little boy, she said strangely: "Why did this little young master come to the mourning hall?" ”

Ai Zhen walked out the door and said, "It's my little cousin." He waved his hand to Cheng Rui and said, "Go back to the table." ”

The old mother didn't continue to entangle how Cheng Rui got in, but secretly said bad luck and took a broom to sweep the melon seeds on the ground. The broom spike salad salad is scraped on the floor tiles, which is not harsh and ugly, but has the meaning of some autumn wind and bleak leaves.

Ai Zhen turned around and entered the house, looking outside the door, the old mother swept the floor and disappeared, presumably no one could hear the whispering of the two people in the house. So she gently moved the futon to Hui Zhen's side with her toes, knelt on the futon, approached Hui Zhen and said, "I really didn't see that the sixth cousin has this heart for you." ”

Hui Zhen was full of Cheng Qian's careful actions, and couldn't help but smile, but he didn't want to show his head too much, just rubbed a bunch of hair on his hand, and said, "Where did you care about me?" She originally had an ancient face, thin and curved eyebrows, slightly slanted inner doubles, and two flying reds on her cheekbones at this time, which showed the subtle beauty of the Chinese style very much.

Aizhen pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, you are still pretending to be stupid in vain for my kindness." ”

Hui Zhen said: "I was really wronged, how can I pretend to be stupid." Originally, I didn't know what he was thinking, but the sixth cousin is usually quiet, who knew that he meant it quietly. ”

Aizhen didn't speak, just smiled and groaned, pursed her lips and looked at Huizhen. Zhi Hui Zhen looked annoyed, and said: "Third sister, do you understand that I just like that, I didn't mean to hide it from you, do you believe it or not." Besides, I forgot to ask you about that Ye Ziheng that day, and you still joked about me, but you really have no conscience. ”

Ai Zhen said: "I believe that you have done it." ”

Hui Zhen took a sip and scolded with a smile: "Who is rare for you to believe." He reminded him of another thing in his heart, and said tentatively: "Could it be that I am really afraid that my mouth is not strict, as if in front of me, you have never mentioned Ye Ziheng." ”

Ai Zhen said: "Hey, I mentioned what he did for no reason. ”

Hui Zhen said: "How can it be called plain for no reason, I think you two are very unusual." ”

Suddenly, the light above their heads flashed, it seemed that the circuit was malfunctioning, and Aizhen frowned and said, "I think it's better to turn off this light." She stood up and turned out the light, and there was only one light bulb left in the room, and the light suddenly dimmed a little, gradually creating a quiet atmosphere suitable for gossip. Ai Zhen said, "Tomorrow I will call someone to fix this lamp, in case it burns out, it is not fun." ”

Hui Zhen said: "Third sister, don't divert the conversation, but also tell me what you think of him." ”

Ai Zhen was always a little weak-hearted, and smiled softly: "How to say this, I don't know him very well." ”

Hui Zhen said: "You just bluff me!" ”

She was afraid that Hui Zhen was really angry, so she hurriedly made up for it and said, "I have only known him for a few days, is it worth bluffing you for others?" She hugged one of Hui Zhen's arms, shook it like a coquettish idiot, and let it go, which was a bit like when they were in elementary school.

Ai Zhen spoke again and said slowly, "I said a few words to him, and I think that person is not bad, and he can talk to me very well. ”
