(073), the love of a lifetime
Mo Ye smiled: "Both of us are family members who have come out, so we will come out with us." But you must have a lot of relatives in your family, I don't understand why you still wander the streets alone? Although there are many people on the street, there is no one who knows each other, and the excitement is also the excitement of others, isn't it good for you to stay at home? ”
Hearing this, Yan Xingzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, I also slipped out with great difficulty." My father went out to invite friends for a drink, and the seven aunts and aunts in the family greeted me alone, and I hadn't been home for a year, and their problems were so many that they couldn't fit in three baskets. No, I stayed for a while, and they scooped out this red dress, and I had to wear it, it was to ward off evil spirits. You see how embarrassed I am now, but I'm glad I finally got out. ”
A thought suddenly popped up in Mo Ye's heart, and he said loudly: "Okay, in order to celebrate your successful escape from the house and get rid of the problem of queuing; For the regret that the eldest brother was banned by his father and couldn't drink, the three of us found a small restaurant to drink together? ”
Unexpectedly, Mo Ye's mention was rejected by the punishment style and Yan Xingzhi at the same time.
Listening to Xing Feng's cautious expression, he said: "I promised your master to take you back later, if I get drunk, what can you do?" ”
Yan Xingzhi then said: "My father also does not allow me to drink. It's okay to drink secretly, but today the taverns are almost full, and the three of us are still children, and the tavern owner Hachicheng will avoid trouble and will not treat us very well. If I happen to run into my father's group, I don't know how I will be punished when I go back! ”
The punishment style strictly abides by the promise, and the strict practice is full of concerns, Mo Ye had no choice but to give up when he saw this situation, and sighed helplessly: "Why do adults like to drink so much?" ”
Mo Ye and Yan Xingzhi didn't want to go home immediately, and they couldn't drink, so the three of them went to Taoliu Street together.
This street becomes very beautiful in the spring, but in the winter it becomes a little depressed as the leaves of the peach willow trees fall. But tonight, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the bare peach willow branches are full of red and bright lanterns, and at a glance, the whole street is full of light, as if the peach blossoms are blooming in advance on this night.
Tonight's Taoliu Street is also very lively, pedestrians can almost rub their bodies between the front and back, and all kinds of lanterns on both sides of the street are hung with short sentence lantern riddles, so that lantern visitors unconsciously slow down their steps.
Visitors from all walks of life have smiles on their faces, point to their friends and praise the lanterns they think are beautiful on the trees, or read auspicious sentences written on the slips of paper hanging under the lanterns. Although it is the second festival after the beginning of spring, the temperature at night is still very low, but the temperature on this whole street seems to be warmed by the joyful feelings of the people.
The three stopped as they walked up a stone bridge in the middle of Taoliu Street. Because standing on a high place, you can look farther, which is more conducive to jumping out of the bustling crowd and watching the bright lights hanging on the street.
Of course, the main reason is that the three of them are really tired - in Taoliu Street, where tourists are so dense, it is really sad to watch the lanterns while paying attention not to step on other people's feet, or be stepped on by others' feet.
The three people who traveled with him tonight were not masters of shopping, even if Xing Feng and Yan Xing subconsciously protected Mo Ye, who was a little younger than him, in the middle, Mo Ye was still unguarded and was stepped on a few feet by the tourists walking back and forth. Standing on the stone bridge where many people had stopped, the three of them couldn't help but sigh.
After a pause, he set his eyes on a poem hanging under a lantern under the bridge, and recited it word by word. Mo Ye remembered something in his heart, and began with a slightly ridiculous sentence, and smiled at Yan Xingzhi: "It seems that Ling Tang knows that you are finally willing to return home, and he is very happy in his heart." ”
Yan Xingzhi saw that Mo Ye glanced at his own clothes a few times and guessed the meaning of her words. But his face only flashed with a hint of urgency, and then he said calmly: "Mother is naturally happy to see me, but this dress was cut after consultation between my aunts." According to their words, wearing this dress tonight is an auspicious meaning, and it is difficult to refuse the hospitality. ”
Yan Xingzhi didn't know that his slightly complaining words inadvertently caused a slight change in Mo Ye's heart. I saw Mo Ye turn his face, look at the smooth branches full of lanterns hanging under the stone bridge, and whispered: "There are many relatives and friends, and sometimes it is quite troublesome." ”
Yan Xingzhi didn't know what Mo Ye was thinking at this time, but because of Mo Ye's words, he seemed to have gone away because of a trace in his heart, but it was obviously with his own concern at all times. He also turned around, supported the railing of the stone bridge with both hands, tilted his head slightly, and cast his eyes into the sky of light and darkness, and then said in a somewhat plain tone: "As soon as the Lantern Festival passes, my brother has also been gone for three years, and my father has allowed me to disperse for three years, and it will be over." My mother didn't want to mention my brother in front of me, but my aunts were anxious about her. They sewed this red robe, hoping that after the new year, I would no longer dwell on the old things and be depressed in them. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and lost his voice: "Brother Ling" only had these two words, Mo Ye came back to his senses and quickly closed his mouth.
Yan Xingzhi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but Mo Ye couldn't see from the side of his face whether there was a smile in his eyes. Listening to his tone, he said a little sadly: "Three years ago, he was going to leave. It was I who begged him to accompany me for another year, and he held on until the Lantern Festival, and now that I think about it, I was really selfish to the extreme. Because of my hope, my family remembered his absence on the day of the Lantern Festival, so that the last days of the eldest brother were so hard. ”
Mo Ye was slightly moved when he heard this. She originally wanted to ask Yan Xingzhi what the symptoms of his family's strange illness were, but after listening to Yan Xingzhi's words, she didn't even have the mood to inquire at all. She just sighed and said, "You must have been eight years old that year, and I don't know if I would have behaved the same way as you had faced the same thing before I heard you say this." But I think your eldest brother must also want to be with you for a few more days. Because of your plea, he has the strength to hold on, and he can spend one more year with you. ”
Yan Xingzhi fell silent. He was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and it seemed that he was just trying to calm his mind. After a long time, he turned his face and said with a faint smile in his eyes: "You are really good at persuading people." ”
Mo Ye patted the railing of the stone bridge, turned his face around, looked at Yan Xingzhi and said gently: "So, what are you going to do in the new year when you are no longer depressed?" ”
Yan Xingzhi thought for a while and replied, "I don't know if it's better to continue studying medicine." At this point, he suddenly stared into Mo Ye's eyes and asked, "Among the old man you are, he really doesn't have any apprentices?" ”
Mo Ye sighed in his heart when he heard this, and said secretly, this Yan Xingzhi, how can he hold on to this anyway? It's not that she's easily impatient, it's that 'that old man' is made up by her, and for this reason she also named Liao Shi 'dead', she really doesn't want to make up a bunch of other lies around this lie.
Mo Ye is known as the number one chatter talent in Shanshui Academy, and she knows how troublesome it is to lie and lie together.
Coughing dryly, he cleared his throat, and at the same time suppressed his flustered feelings, Mo Ye slowly spoke: "If you can find another person whose medical skills are not comparable to that old man, what can he help you?" Do you want to be a teacher? ”
Yan Xingzhi groaned: "My grandfather once advised me that when I have the opportunity to experience the subtlety of medical skills, I may be able to regain my confidence. He is also an old man, if hobbies and hard work can be combined, he can get twice the result with half the effort. The profession of studying medicine may have higher requirements for interest than other professions, because doctors will face some extremely troublesome things all the time, and if they do not have a strong love for them, they may be maintained, but it is impossible to innovate. ”
Mo Ye said casually with a puzzled face: "If there is love, there will be disgust, practicing medicine is a lifelong thing, can it work just by liking?" ”
Mo Ye's casual words made Yan Xingzhi's expression stagnate. Seeing this, Mo Ye came to his senses and knew that with his own generation, it was really inappropriate to refute his grandfather's good words so directly. So she hurriedly apologized: "Forgive me for my gaffes, forgive my sins." ”
Yan Xing looked very bookish on the outside, and he was respectful to his seniors in his words, but he was not the dull and polite person that Mo Ye thought. He looked stunned, just because Mo Ye had thought about it, so he didn't blame her for Mo Ye's words that were a little overstepping.
Seeing Mo Ye's nervous appearance, he just smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I thought the same thing before, and asked my father about it." My father's explanation was more detailed, and his affection was a shock that occupied my heart, but I still couldn't understand what it meant. ”
At this point, his expression became a little strange, and he paused for a moment before continuing: "Father saw that I still couldn't understand, so he explained again. He, this kind of affection, it is difficult for a person to produce twice in the same thing, because this kind of affection will occupy people's hearts and entrench them for the rest of their lives. ”
"It's unimaginable." Mo Ye shook his head directly after Yan Xing's words.
At this time, Xing Feng, who had never intervened in the conversation between her and Yan Xingzhi, suddenly spoke: "I seem to have felt this kind of feeling you have. ”
Yan Xingzhi asked with a surprised expression, "What kind of experience is it?" ”
Xing Feng glanced at Mo Ye, and then said, "Three years ago, I saw it for the first time
