Chapter 3: A Candy
Ji An and Zhou Yingguang looked at the beautiful woman who was running a little out of breath in front of them, and wondered, the kind of candy she described was not available in the store.
The woman's face seemed to be lost, and it seemed to be relieved.
Such an expression aroused Zhou Yingguang's pity, he turned his head to look at Ji An, and muttered in a low voice, "Beautiful women are distressing." Then he walked out of the counter and came to Jiang Zhou, "This young lady, although we don't have the kind of candy you want to find in our store, I have the best sugar in Yishan here, let's give you a taste." With that, he took out a handful of candy with a golden outer packaging from his trouser pocket and stuffed it to Jiang Zhou.
This candy was made by Ah Ying's mother herself, and since she was a child, she often gave it to his two naughty little boys, his brother and him. Now, although his brother is gone, A-Ying will often come over with this candy to give it to him and Ji An. It just so happens that when they are addicted to cigarettes, they will take one out and eat one.
Jiang Zhou took her with a helpless smile on his face, "Thank you." "When I opened the golden wrapper, it was a milky white candy, an inexplicable sense of familiarity, put it in my mouth, and waited for the warm and moist mouth to melt its sweetness little by little.
"Where did you buy this candy?"
"Oh, I didn't buy it, it was made by one of my aunts."
Auntie did it?
She searched for so many places and asked so many people, but she couldn't find it, but she turned around again.
"Oh," Zhou Yingguang pointed to the chestnut bag in Jiang Zhou's hand, "It's made by the little girl's aunt who bought the chestnuts." The world's only lotus seed candy. ”
"You're just looking for this candy." Ji An, who was silent at the counter and observed for a long time, spoke.
Jiang Zhou folded the leftover candy wrappers together, "When I was a child, I came to Yishan once. There was a little brother who once gave me this candy. ”
"I heard that A-Ying's mother used to make this kind of candy and distribute it to the children in the neighborhood since she first got married."
The implication is that if Jiang Zhou wants to find out the person he used to be through candy, it is impossible.
In fact, Jiang Zhou didn't really want to find him, but after 22 years, when she came to this land, she still missed those people and things. Maybe it's because she's old, and she's always a little nostalgic when she gets old.
"But I didn't expect that the wrapping paper of this candy was pink at first." Zhou Yingguang continued, still silent, he touched his nose, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"You're both locals. In this way, 500 a day, at the end of the day, how about you come and be my private tour guide? ”
Without receiving a reply, Jiang Zhou continued, "Six hundred. ”
"No problem!!" Zhou Yingguang went first, "Don't talk about six red tickets, even if there is no one, we are willing!" ”
Jiang Zhou glanced at another silent man, black and oppressive, standing there like a mountain, with an invisible sense of crampedness.
Zhou Yingguang's eyes turned between Jiang Zhou and Ji An, and said earnestly, "Leave him alone, don't worry about him, he's my subordinate, listen to my command." Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Yingguang. ”
"Jiang Zhou." Jiang Zhou added, "Boats in the river. ”
"Ji An."
Jiang Zhou looked at him sideways, he also glanced at Jiang Zhou, and continued, "The season of the four seasons, the bank of the river. ”
"Here is six hundred yuan, tomorrow's tour guide fee, today will be settled first. At half past six in the morning, I will come here to look for you. With that, he left.
"This girl's heart is really big enough, and her sense of security is also weak, no, she should take money not properly...... But she really didn't take us for liars. Is it because I'm not bad enough? ”
Ji An looked at the six red banknotes on the stage thoughtfully.
When they ate together in the evening, Zhou Yingguang was praised by Jiang Zhou, just like when he met the class flower in the next class when he was a teenager, he was shocked at a glance, and since then he has become an idiot, looking forward to meeting her again.
"Jiang Zhou is really good-looking."
"She's older than you." Ji An said nonchalantly, "Aren't you not engaged in sister and brother love?" ”
"Huh? I think so too...... Maybe she's dressed up more maturely. Heck, judging by what I've learned, she should be between 26 and 28 years old, tall, about 168, bust... 36B… She's too skinny. What is the hip circumference...... It's blocked by the bag, and I can't see it clearly. ”
"You're very observant."
"Everyone has a love for beauty. Beauty, even if you pass by on the road, you are always willing to look twice. ”
……
After Jiang Zhou left, he found A-Ying again.
"A-Ying, do you still have this kind of candy by your side?" Jiang Zhou squatted down and stretched out his hand, with the candy wrapper in his palm.
A-Ying was stunned by the sudden question, she looked at the golden wrapping paper suspiciously, "There is ......"
"How much is it, I want to buy it."
"No, no, no, I don't have much with me." A-Ying touched her pocket and grabbed out three candies, "There are only three in total, I'll give them all to you." ”
"Thank you."
Jiang Zhou took the candy, took one apart and put it in his mouth, "I heard that your mother made it?" It's delicious. ”
"Well, grandma did it." A-Ying replied, "How do you know?" ”
Jiang Zhou folded the golden wrapping paper into the shape of a small flower, and pointed to the grocery store with his chin, "Oh, the little brother inside said." ”
"Brother Yingguang?"
"Yes."
A faint flush appeared on A-Ying's face.
Jiang Zhou looked at it, "You like him?" ”
"No, no, no." A-Ying shook her head, "I... We just grew up together. ”
"Childhood sweethearts. Don't deny it, your eyes are glowing. Jiang Zhou looked directly into A-Ying's eyes.
"Ah......" Ah Ying's eyes widened and she lowered her head shyly.
"What about Ji An?"
"Huh?" A-Ying was puzzled.
"Why is he always ahhhh
"Brother Ji An, he ...... He's a very nice guy. They are all very nice people! ”
Jiang Zhou frowned, and said that he didn't say anything.
…...
Anyone who dares to love is a good person.
Jiang Zhou was lying on the bed, turning over, and she had eaten all the chestnuts on the bedside table, so there was a bit of food accumulation at this time. Over the years, I have always thought about the tea and the rice is not fragrant, but after eating a bite of chestnuts, I have a great appetite.
Sitting barefoot on the ground, he found one of the large boxes in a pile, opened them, and pulled out a large picture frame from the inner layer.
It's not a photograph, it's an oil painting.
In the painting, there are patches of terraced rice fields, with bright colors and bold colors.
Jiang Zhou took the photo frame and looked at it for a long time.
The place on the painting is Yishan.
Turn the frame upside down and open it, revealing a photo hidden inside.
Jiang Zhou looked at himself in the photo, with waist-length long curly hair, and smiled sweetly and movingly.
And the people around you......
It looks like a person.
The temperament is very different.
Jiang Zhou put the picture frame back on and lay down on the bed.
The mobile phone vibrate, and Jiang Zhou picked up the phone.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"Jiang Zhou, did you sleep?"
"I won't answer your phone when I'm asleep." Jiang Zhou replied.
"Do you have everything with you?"
"Bring it all." Jiang Zhou said.
"Are you still adapting? Are there any problems with water and soil? ”
"Sort of." It's really an old mother, Jiang Zhou thought.
"What's wrong? Not feeling well? Skin allergies? ”
"Allergies." Jiang Zhou replied.
"Got the medicine?"
"Eat." He said a word, and Jiang Zhou replied.
"Just eat it, call me in time if there is anything."
"You're a busy man." Jiang Zhou thought about it.
“… When I don't answer, you send me a message. ”
"Got it." Jiang Zhou was a little impatient, "Sleep, I'm hanging." Good bye. ”
Without waiting for the other end of the phone to finish, Jiang Zhou hung up the phone.
……
Insomnia.
It has become a habit for her to keep her eyes open in the dark until her body reaches its limit and fall into a deep sleep.
This shows that the person is extremely insecure.
Jiang Zhou sat up and looked around.
It's not as bright as Shanghai, and it's still bright when you turn off the lights and close the curtains, because the lights outside the house are too dazzling.
A small remote mountain village, dark at night.
That's probably one of the reasons why she's here.
She is a person with a lot of emotional ups and downs.
When she was in Shanghai, she often felt irritable, as if there was a trapped beast in her heart that was constantly trying to break out of the cage.
Every loss of control is a thousand cuts.
She tried her best to keep herself calm and peaceful, but it always backfired.
On her 28th birthday, she finally decided to give herself a birthday present.
Return to Yishan.
This was the place that was supposed to belong to her mother.
Mother once fell in love with a simple Yishan guy, and once made a private lifelong decision.
But life is constantly staging the drama of dog blood, and it is a good show to take it by force.
The mother changed from a cheerful and bright girl to a depressed young woman all day long.
You also have to face the provocations of all kinds of women at any time.
She was looked back at by the abyss, and she was haunted by the dragon.
Only that time did her mother take her back to Yishan.
At the top of the main mountain, she returned to her original appearance.
Hold the brush and concentrate on drawing.
The Yishan she writes is simple and beautiful, but it is also shrouded in a layer of sadness.
Thinking about it, my heart fluctuates.
Jiang Zhou shook his head, trying to think of something else.
Somehow, at this time, the figure of that man suddenly appeared in her mind.
She saw him while she was eating in town.
Stand out from the crowd.
He seems to be interested in her?
It's okay, in this deep mountain, if you can ...... with such a man
Jiang Zhou grabbed the hem of his clothes and stirred it up with all his might.
Season Shore. Season Shore.
What a coincidence, one is the boat in the river, and the other is the bank of the four seasons.
What a miracle, the stagnant body of the body, the moment she received his eyes, she felt that in addition to the hot blood, there was something else flowing in her veins.
That kind of thing, it's called lust.
She thought of the line from "Sputnik Lovers":
As soon as he came to her, the bones in his ears clicked like wind chimes made of thin shells.
And there is a desire to be hugged tightly by her, and I want to give everything to her.
If this is not lust, then it is tomato juice that flows through my veins. ”
