Chapter One Hundred and Eight
Chapter One Hundred and Eight
When it was almost dark, the old man came back with a helpless face and a small tricycle full of things. Cong Xi usually goes to bed late and gets up late, and he doesn't like to exercise, and his physical fitness is really not very good, so he rode his bicycle home for a while, and he was so tired that he was panting.
"Why do you buy so many things? Did you take Xiaoxi to the supermarket? The old lady glared at her wife, "The child is ignorant and spends money indiscriminately, why don't you persuade him?" You have everything at home, so you don't need to buy these things! ”
"Grandma, don't blame grandpa, grandpa won't let me buy it, it's because I'm disobedient and insist on buying it." Cong Xi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Didn't I just move here and be happy?" No example! ”
I turned on the lights under the verandah, and I could see clearly what was in the little three-wheeler's full body. Two cartons of pure milk, a canned beer, a leg of lamb, a bag of miscellaneous snacks, two boxes of beautifully packaged toy cars, a set of Lego bricks, and a few bags of diapers.
Su Nianzhen looked a little blushing, she had been with Wen Run for so long, she didn't expect to buy something for the two children, it was really undeserved!
"It's a lot of money, right? An'an Lele has everything, really, what a cost. ”
"Grandma, don't be polite to me, I'll have to trouble you more when I live here in the future, bribe and bribe you first, so that you won't be annoyed and let me ......go later."
Cong Xi could speak, and the old lady was happy in three or two sentences, and she no longer refused, and happily accepted his "bribe". Thanks to the blessing of the fresh big leg of mutton, the family ate the fragrant mutton soup in a pot, and everyone drank it hot. The face was flushed.
After dinner, Su Nianzhen was dragged by Cong Xi to his room to play. The two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa bed, eating melon seeds, eating snacks, watching horror movies, chatting, and before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.
She quickly put down the half-sack of potato chips she ate, put on a down jacket and ran to the bathroom opposite, brushed her teeth and washed her face. Trotted back to his room. When she entered the space, she took a bath, dried her hair, and came out in autumn clothes and pants. It was almost twelve o'clock, almost an hour later than the usual break!
Su Nianzhen carefully got into the warm quilt, and saw Wen Run's face facing outwards with his back to her, lying there motionless. I didn't go inside to talk to myself for a while before I fell asleep. There was a little discomfort in my heart. I couldn't help but stretch out a finger and gently poke his back, and whispered, "Are you asleep?" ”
"Hmm."
Listening to his cold voice, Su Nianzhen felt even more uncomfortable. "Angry? I was wrong. Promise it won't be so late in the future! ”
Wen Run listened to her soft apology, and most of her anger had disappeared. What's more, he knew in his heart that coming back later was not a matter at all, but he was in a bad mood tonight, so he just used the topic to play. He turned over, looked at her with a worried face through the dim table lamp, and said in a lost tone: "Ah Zhen, do you feel bored with me?" "He had never felt like time was so hard as tonight, and in just three hours from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, he felt as if a century had passed. I couldn't read the book, I couldn't do anything, I looked at my watch almost every few minutes, and I expected the next moment she would push the door and enter the house. But the reality is that she didn't come back until he lost his patience and couldn't help but go next door to call someone.
"No, why do you think that?" Su Nianzhen looked surprised, even if she didn't say a word to Wen Run, she sat quietly reading a book, she felt relieved and comfortable, how could she be bored!
"Then why don't you want to come back so late?" Wen Run suffered all night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged, and he couldn't help but bring it out between his words.
"We're watching a horror movie, and the plot is so exciting, we lost track of time for a while." The first time I saw Wenrun's down-to-earth side, Su Nianzhen was like discovering a new continent, novel and abrupt, but thinking that he was wronged, it was not good to annoy him, so he had to hold back the surging excitement of his heart, and explained seriously.
"Then I'll watch movies with you too!"
"Okay, but one or two a week is fine, not too much, so as not to delay your study......"
After all, it was not early, and Su Nianzhen was soon enveloped in sleepiness, and fell asleep after a while. Wen Run, on the other hand, looked at her quietly for a long time before extinguishing the dim table lamp and falling asleep with his eyes closed.
After breakfast the next day, Cong Xi, who was not very athletic, planned to drive his car to a neighboring village. However, when the old lady heard that they were going to Xiaoding Village on the other side of the river, she persuaded again and again: "There is no comparison between it and our village, it is all dirt roads, potholes, and very narrow, and the car cannot enter the village at all, so it is better for you to ride a bicycle." ”
"I'm so tired from riding a bike!" Cong Xi wailed.
"Then why don't I go and borrow an electric car for you, will I drive it?"
"Yes, thank you grandma!"
"Grandma, you can borrow one from Congxi, and I'll take Ah Zhen on a bicycle."
So, half an hour later, Cong Xi awkwardly rode a small and cute pink women's electric car. Wen Run rode a bicycle and carried Su Nianzhen to follow closely behind, looking relaxed, not at all like Cong Xi's weak chicken who was so tired and panting yesterday.
Before Su Nianzhen went out, she was stared at by Wen Run, put on the thickest down jacket, and put on a woolen hat and gloves, and the scarf almost covered half of her face, and she didn't feel cold at all. Grandma was even more careful, and tied a cushion to her in the back seat of the car, which was soft and comfortable to sit on. She sat sideways, holding Wen Run's waist with one hand and shrinking into her pocket with the other, looking around with a leisurely feeling, and said hello to the villagers she knew well.
Although she does not take the initiative to interact with the villagers, since the successful opening of the market for her signature hot sauce in the village, more and more people go to her home to buy hot sauce. In this way, everyone can be regarded as half acquaintances, and they can't pretend not to know each other when they meet.
The people in the village are enthusiastic and love to inquire about things, and when they saw Cong Xi's fresh face, they all asked with a smile. Su Nianzhen always used two simple words - friend - to deal with it, without the slightest intention of further introduction.
"Woe water, woe water, I bet that when we go back, there will definitely be a large group of women who look at their sons-in-law at home!" After leaving the village, there was gradually no one, so Su Nianzhen dared to speak casually. No way, after all, the concept in the countryside is more conservative, if they know that Cong Xi likes the same sex, it is estimated that the family will not have a peaceful life in the future.
"Hey, there's no way, who made us look handsome?" Cong Xi pretended to shake off his hair, and almost didn't turn into the ditch by the side of the road all at once.
The three of them laughed all the way, rode slowly on the cold road of Xiao Suo, and soon arrived at the intersection leading to Xiaoding Village.
The only way for Xiaoding Village to connect with the outside world is an old stone bridge that has been repaired for an unknown number of years. Moss-stained, no fence, and not spacious enough to barely pass a car, but if the driver is a little timid, he probably won't have the courage to drive over.
Cong Xi was the most desperate, but he didn't dare to play cool on the bridge without fences, so he honestly came down and pushed the electric car to cross the bridge carefully. Su Nianzhen also got out of the car and walked unhurriedly behind Wen Run.
"Hi~" Cong Xi waved at the figure standing upright not far away, and didn't forget to turn his head and explain to Su Nianzhen and Wen Run: "That is the soldier brother I mentioned to you yesterday, his name is Ding He......"
Brother Bing named Ding He waited for them at the entrance of the village early, and his appearance was indeed as Cong Xi said, steady and down-to-earth, upright, and it made people unconsciously want to trust when they looked at it. It's just that I don't know if I'm too sensitive and thinking too much or what, Su Nianzhen always feels that the way he looks at Cong Xi is not ordinary, not at all like someone who has just met for less than a day. But she didn't feel malice, the thought just flashed in her mind, and then disappeared.
A few people briefly introduced themselves and walked towards the village.
When she arrived at Xiaoding Village, Su Nianzhen knew what it meant to be a poor mountain and a bad water. Low, dilapidated houses, narrow dirt roads, haphazardly stacked corn stalks...... Compared with here, Kong's Ancient Village can be called a luxury villa area.
Ding He helped push the pink electric car that did not match his whole temperament at all to lead the way in front, Su Nianzhen, who was relaxed, followed closely by Cong Xi, Wen Run, who was pushing the bicycle, walked at the end, and the group walked towards Ding He's house. There is no way, it is uphill to Ding He's house, and the road is full of potholes, and the car can't be ridden at all, so it's more convenient to walk.
"It's not like no one lives in your village, is it? How does it feel empty, strange and oozing. Cong Xi leaned towards Su Nianzhen's side very unproductively, ready to hide behind her back at any time.
"The young people have gone out to work, and the rest are mostly old people. The elderly are afraid of the cold, and they don't go out much in winter, so they are all at home in winter. ”
Ding He is not a talker, but fortunately, Cong Xi's words enliven the atmosphere, but it is not too cold.
In fact, not only Cong Xi, but Su Nianzhen also felt a little cautious, not that she was timid, but that this village was too much like a deserted village. Especially when she watched a horror movie with Cong Xi last night, she always felt cold behind her, and couldn't help but come to Wen Run's side.
When he arrived at Ding He's house, not only Cong Xi, but even Su Nianzhen, who boasted of having some exercise cells, was tired. Xiaoding Village is built on the mountain, and the Ding He family at the end of the village is actually halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, the slope of this mountain is relatively low, and if you need it in the future, at least the road repair is not a big problem.
"Go to my house and rest, or just go up the mountain?"
"Go to your house, I really can't walk~"
Cong Xi gasped as if he had asthma, and Ding Hezhi, who saw that his breath had not changed in the slightest, frowned. "You're in too bad shape, you have to exercise."
"Let you turn life and dream upside down every day and night, now you can see the difference, right?" Although Su Nianzhen was tired enough, she was not as embarrassed as Cong Xi, but her breathing was a little heavy. (To be continued......)
