A trace of panic flashed on Liu Jihua's face, and then he calmed down and beckoned his wife and children to come over. Jianjun greeted him and stretched out his hand: "Master Liu, is this a family out for dinner?" ”

"Yes, yes, you are coming back from Zhengzhou?"

"yes, just came back."

"Oh, good, good."

"Come, sit here, we're done eating, just about to leave."

"No, no, you eat, let's find another ......"

"We're done eating, sit down."

I stood up and walked out after Jianjun. Jianjun waved goodbye to them.

When I got to the outside of the restaurant, Jianjun turned his head to look at me: "Why don't you even say a word?" ”

“…… What is there to say? ”

I think my face must be ugly, because Jianjun asked me, "What's wrong with you?" ”

“…… Not much, upset in my stomach. ”

"I told you that you can't be hungry and full, don't listen, it's okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you will remember your surname for a long time."

I took Jianjun's hand and told him I wanted to go back. Jianjun looked at me, put his arm around my shoulder, and said, "Let's go." ”

Back at Jianjun's house, Jianjun watched TV, and I continued to sleep on top of him. When I woke up, the TV was still on, and I watched Jianjun again, leaning on the back of the sofa and falling asleep, making an even breathing sound. I sat up, stretched, felt full, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand pointed to 3:50 p.m., I didn't expect to sleep for so long.

I bent down close to Jianjun's face, wanting to see if he was pretending to be asleep, looking down, Jianjun's face was so young and tight, dense eyelashes were motionless, his expression was peaceful and relaxed, and he slept very deeply, I couldn't bear to wake him up, gently changed his shoes, took a net bag and wallet and went out.

There is a vegetable market not far from the community, it turned out that I had come to Jianjun's mother, I was thinking about dinner, and I went around the market to pick up a few vegetables to buy, and remembered that there were no eggs at home, and by the way I bought three catties of eggs to carry. Walking out of the vegetable market with her hands full, she suddenly saw an old lady in her fifties or sixties squatting on the side of the road, with two large red plastic buckets in front of her, each with a lid.

The old lady looked at me and shouted at me, "Sea vegetable jelly—"

I have eaten cold powder, that is when I was still in a technical school, Jianjun invited me to eat at the stall on the side of the road, the first time I ate it, it was cool and slippery, in the middle of summer, it was very delicious, Jianjun saw that I liked to eat, and added two bowls, and the two bowls were let me eat, a small and shallow bowl, it cost three cents.

Hearing the old lady shouting cold powder, I couldn't help but go over to take a look. There were no customers, the old lady looked at me, and hurriedly opened the lid on the bucket, and I saw that there were many dark things soaked in water, and the old lady used the colander on the side to scoop up one and showed me, it was a brown translucent gelatinous substance, made into the shape of a bowl.

The old lady looked at me and said, "Girl, I made it myself, it's not adulterated at all, look at how strong it is." ”

The old lady said and stretched out her palm to gently pat the jelly in the colander, and the jelly shook with a bullet.

"If you put less sea vegetables, they will break when you shoot them, and they will not become one, and some of them are glued, and they are too strong to be broken, and if you eat something like that, it will harm people."

I asked the old lady how much it was, and the old lady said one dollar. I asked for two, and the old lady took them out of the bucket and put them in a plastic bag and handed them to me.

I paid the money and turned to leave, but the old lady stopped me uneasily: "Girl, do you know what to do?" ”

I have eaten it, and I know that there is minced garlic, vinegar, and coriander, and the old lady shook her head when she heard it, "Liangfen can't be separated from minced pickles, you go inside to buy a carrot pickle, cut it into minced pieces and put it on, and taste it if it is more flavorful." ”

I thanked the old lady and thought she was a kind person, so I couldn't help but ask her, "Why don't you sell it inside?" There are a lot of people inside, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention here. ”

The old lady waved her hand when she heard this: "There is a lot of competition for land inside, and I am a lonely old lady, and I ...... sell one here, alas." ”

Back at Jianjun's house, Jianjun had already woken up, lying on the sofa watching TV, watching me come in, and smiling: "Yo! Grocery shopping? I thought I went to the mall and didn't call me. ”

I blocked the cold noodles with vegetables, and Jianjun went into the kitchen to help, and I pushed him out.

I mixed the cold powder with vinegar according to the old lady's words, and put it in a large enamel basin, with white minced garlic, green coriander, red carrot and pickles, and the bottom was full of transparent jelly cut into small pieces, which was very beautiful. I brought this pot of cold noodles to the living room and put it under Jianjun's nose, and Jianjun shouted: "Amazing! Xiao Nan! ”

I handed him a spoon, and Jianjun picked up the spoon and lay on the edge of the bowl and snorted and pulled several bites, nodding his head while eating.

I fried another plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the stewed rice was ready, I took it all, took a bench, and ate it in style across the coffee table from Jianjun.

Jianjun didn't have the habit of talking when he ate, he ate quickly, and after a while, he leaned back on the sofa, touched his stomach and praised me: "I'm going to call you Chef Zheng in the future." ”

I asked Jianjun if he remembered that we were eating cold noodles on the side of the road, and Jianjun said, "Of course I remember, you ate three bowls in a row!" ”

"How does my cooking taste?"

"It's more fragrant than what you ate that year, who taught you? I didn't know you were so capable! ”

"An old lady who sells jelly taught her that her jelly is also delicious."

Jianjun nodded.

"That old lady is fine, I'll buy her another day."

After dinner, I took Jianjun for a walk, but Jianjun couldn't do it: "What are you walking?" I finally rested, I didn't want to move, come, Nan, sit here and watch TV. Jianjun patted his thigh.

I stubbornly stood in front of the sofa, looking at Jianjun, and suddenly felt aggrieved in my heart, I was lonely when he was outside, and I was lonely when he was around.

I didn't say a word, I changed my shoes and took my bag, and opened the door to go out.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people are trying to reduce outdoor activities during the day as much as possible, and they all go out after sunset. I was in the middle of the group, and they were so close to me that they could hear their conversation clearly. Those dry and tasteless parents are short, and such a small and fragmented narration has a different kind of feeling, which makes me envious.

With the flow of people, I walked aimlessly, walked and walked, and arrived at a street park, on a flat ground in the park, more than a dozen sprinkler heads were installed in flower plugs, and they were shooting out five or six meters of water columns in unison, attracting many children to scream barefoot and shuttle between the water columns, and adults chatting and resting on the side.

I was standing in the crowd, looking at the frolicking children, and suddenly I felt someone blowing on my face, with a smell of smoke, I turned my head and saw Jianjun standing behind me silently, he was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at me seriously.

I didn't say anything, turned around and looked forward, Jianjun leaned in, and whispered, "My temper is not small." ”

For a while, none of us spoke. Jianjun finished the cigarette in his hand, snuffed it out, and flicked it out with his fingers: "It's boring, let's go, I'll go for a walk with you, let's take a walk." ”

Jianjun stretched out his arm and put his arm around my shoulder, and we walked slowly along the brick-paved path in the garden.

I think I need to talk to him.

"Build an army."

"Here!"

"I'd like to discuss something with you."

"Say."

"You're not going to sell, okay?"

"What's that?"

"It's better to go back to the R&D department and go to work normally."

"Why? I'm doing a pretty good job right now, so why not? Back to the R&D department, how much money do you earn a month? ”

“…… In the past few years, you have also made a lot of money, why do you want so much money? ”

"Little comrade." Jianjun stopped and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't be so short-sighted!" We're going to have kids in the future, lots and lots of kids......"

"Build an army!" I interrupted him, "I'm serious with you. ”

"I'm serious with you." The army returned to normal. "Now that we're so big, we have to think about the future. There are two ways, one is to be an official, the other is to make a fortune, I don't expect to be an official, I can't do it well, then there is only one way to get rich, and now the money in our hands is still called money? Morning!

"And how much are you going to earn?"

"At least, it's a million!"

I looked at Jianjun and was patient: "Jianjun, why do you have to be an official to make a fortune?" Aren't so many people neither in government nor rich? Like your parents and your parents, aren't they all good? ”

"Do you think they will live this life?"

"Good! They all came out and went in together, and after retiring, they went home together to take care of the elderly, what's wrong? ”

"It's good to be together every day? It's interesting to spend a lifetime on this dead salary, picking and shrinking? ”……

I don't think I can talk about Jianjun, so Suo closed his mouth and stopped talking.
