43. Chapter 43

Listening to the old man tell Lu Heng interesting stories when he was a child, it was like getting to know him again as a complete person, and it was not surprising to learn that he was also forced to attend various interest classes, vocal lessons, piano, chess, guitar, Go, and fencing. "I'm on his parents' side, so even if he's not interested, there's no escape. So this kid hasn't really been happy until he graduated from college. Grandpa seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Heng, who came back with wine: "The wine is here." ”

I want to ask Lu Heng if he is happy after graduating from university?

Lu Weiqing poured half a glass of wine for the cycle, and at the beginning of the cycle, he first took a sip, which tasted good, and then he held the glass and drank it indiscriminately. Lu Weiqing looked happy, and poured a full cup into her cup: "If you like to drink, it's okay to drink more, if you're drunk, grandpa is here." ”

Lu Heng didn't say anything, went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water and put it in front of the cycle: "If you are thirsty, drinking will only make you thirstier." ”

"Huh?" I didn't react for a while, I smashed my mouth, and I felt as if I was thirsty.

He always knew himself better than she did. That's why such a person has made her want to stop for the past few years.

While they were eating, someone outside came in carrying boxes of grapes and arranged them in an orderly manner in the patio. The old man explained with a puzzled face: "This is a freshly picked grape, let Lu Heng teach you how to make wine later." ”

"Grandpa has something else to do?" Otherwise, why not teach it yourself.

"I went to Lu Heng's grandmother's grave for a look, she was afraid of the dark, so I went to talk to her after dinner." The old man spoke lightly, but the cycle was sour in his heart. No matter how important the old man in front of him is, he can talk to his wife as regularly as dinner.

"That's good."

"The men of our Lu family admit to death, and if there is one person in their hearts, they can no longer tolerate others." After Lu Weiqing finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Heng, "Take Flashing to wash the grapes, and keep the pots and pans for me to wash later." ”

Lu Heng walked to the backyard with a basket of grapes, followed softly behind, looking at his back and suddenly wanting to laugh. The man in the neatly dressed shirt carried the grape frame that was still dripping with juice, and he always felt that something was wrong, but it was warm. When he was about to put the grape frame down, she hurried over to help hold it.

Seeing her help, he was a little relieved, looked down at her frowning and struggling, and hurriedly asked her to let go. The grapes are placed in a long pond and the cycle begins one by one to pick the grapes and rinse them under water.

When Lu Heng saw it, he couldn't help but preach: "The correct way to wash grapes turns out to be to wash a whole bunch of grapes and wash them under water for a while. There are some pesticide residues or other dirt on the grape skins, and if you pick them off and wash them, they will seep into the pulp through the gaps in the top of the skins. ”

"Oh...... Hmm...... "She suddenly realized, and soon he stuffed a peeled grape into his mouth, and the sweet flesh filled his mouth at once, and his hand lingered around her lips, and his eyes watched her chew the flesh of the grape that had not yet been swallowed.

She lowered her head again with a hot face and washed the grapes as he had said, and he withdrew his hand abruptly, and suddenly laughed lowly again. She glanced sideways at him quickly, and lowered her head again. After a while, I heard him sigh and say, "Didn't you want to hold my hand every day. ”

She wiped her sweat with her elbow: "I don't remember. ”

"I remember it all." He pinched the second grape and brought it to her lips, "I can't sleep every night in Manchester like you." I can't get through to your phone number, and you never read your email. Later, I moved to Manchester City and lost your photos, looked for a long time, and took sleeping pills for a while, and a few times I couldn't miss it, and went back to China to marry you, but I felt faceless. ”

Cycle staring at the water flow in his hand, people are a little crazy, and his nose is sour, like he has bought a lottery ticket for a long time, and when he is about to buy it again, someone suddenly tells her that she has won the jackpot, a big prize. Finally, the tears still couldn't help rolling down, he held her hand and rubbed it on his coat, and then hugged her: "Don't cry, I know it." ”

"I went to ask Jian Jie, and she said that you used to have a lot of blisters on your hands, and when you returned to the dormitory at night, you picked them one by one, took medicine, slept soundly for a night, and continued to go to the construction site the next day, and there was blood on your white gloves." He hugged her and chattered.

She also slowly wrapped her arms around his waist: "It's not so exaggerated. ”

He stopped talking, and his chin rubbed on the top of her head little by little: "After returning to China, I have always wanted to hug you like this, every time you don't give me a good face, I have been thinking several times, whether we really can't be together in this life." ”

She hugged his waist tightly and wanted to tell him that in the year of his absence, she could not attend other people's weddings, could not see others holding hands on the road, and could not see people in pairs. She had always been carefree, and that time was no different from severe depression. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't want to say it, after all, he finally confided in him

Sure enough, he continued: "Yining is just like my sister, her father has been missing, when his father's business was good, he helped my family a lot, but then the company had an accident, we didn't figure out the situation, her father has fled, so our family has always felt indebted, I always feel that if we knew earlier, we would definitely be able to help, and Yining's life will not suddenly become like that." ”

I can't tell what it feels like, I think Lu Heng is very reasonable, but I vaguely feel that Lu Heng has exceeded the limit of guilt for Yining.

Lu Heng let go of her this time, held her shoulders and asked, "Do you think this explanation is still not enough?" ”

She licked her lips and nodded.

"Your father was looking for Yining, I thought you were jealous, so I went back and asked your father to spend time to drive Yining away. After graduating from Yining University, my parents were going to send her abroad, but what I can't bear is that you finally use your illustrious family background as a weapon against your friends. I'm so disappointed that you've been so good, and you've become like this. But I forgot that you are cowardly and careful in what you do, how dare you. ”

She was quite satisfied with his explanation, thinking that he had just said that he had lost her photo in Manchester, and that he had contacted the new sales director at JR about the photo before, so she asked Lu Heng casually: "What am I like on the photo you lost in Manchester?" ”

"During the summer vacation of your junior year of high school, your classmates took a picture of you in front of the pool at school, your face was full of flesh, and your eyes were about to be squeezed out, so I took one when I saw it later."

"You actually looked at such ugly photos of me in a foreign country, and I also took good photos, but I took that one, and it was better to lose it."

"I didn't lose it, I asked the landlord to tell everyone who lived in it to remember to contact me if they saw a picture. Later, someone contacted me, who was also Asian, and when he said this, he also said that he was invited to a meal, and he didn't even leave a contact information. ”

Cycle's brain was running rapidly, and he guessed that the Asian that Lu Heng said should be the new sales director of JR: "That person is in JR now, you can invite him to dinner when you are free, but it's a shame, he sees me so ugly." ”

Lu Heng laughed heartily again, hugged her whole head and rubbed her hair vigorously: "It's not ugly at all, it's cute, didn't grandpa just say that I have a good eye." ”

There are still a lot of details that I haven't asked clearly, and I can't think of it for a while, but I finally confirmed it in my heart, the person in front of her likes her, and Ji Yining is not a rival in love.

"Looking back, after Yining came back from studying abroad, it seems that the whole person is better, and at this time, I feel that what my father has done is very good."

"Hmm." He patted her on the back, both in recognition and in comfort.

"The grapes haven't been washed yet." The cycle suddenly jumped, and the original warm and soothing atmosphere was suddenly broken.

Lu Heng was angry and funny, took a handful of water from the pool and sprinkled her face, seeing that her whole person shrank because of the splashed water, all the vacancies in her heart were filled.

After washing a basket of grapes, cut off each grape with scissors and throw it into a pool filled with light salt water on the other side to soak. When the grapes were passed through the light salt water to remove pesticides, he asked him to take her to the cellar to see the wine.

The wine cellar is very large, and there are many wine jars, all of which smell good wines. The cycle noticed that there was a row of wine racks in the corner of the wall, on which dozens of bottles of wine were placed, and there was a row of Lu Heng who did not let him move, saying that his grandparents would save a bottle of wine on their wedding anniversary every year.

Of course, the cycle didn't dare to move, but I only roughly understood the meaning of each row of wine, most of them were the birthdays of several children of Lu Heng's generation, and Gu Qingye had also been added in recent years. Until asked about the meaning of the bottom row, Lu Heng refused to explain, and the cycle himself pulled out a bottle to see, the bottle was pasted with gilded letters, close to the light source, and the cycle saw the "sparkle" in the English word clearly, tilted his head and read it over and over again, and searched in his vocabulary but didn't come up with it.

"Twinkle."

"Hey, what's wrong?" She didn't know why he called her all of a sudden.

"Sparkle means sparkle, sparkle." He put the wine back from her hand and changed the subject, "I'll accompany you to England for some time to study, your English is too good to speak now." ”
