Chapter 49: Drunken Cherry Blossoms
In the past few days, Baozhu has found that Ruyixuan has returned to its previous order.
Lu Yunchu still comes every day, but it is no longer Ruyixuan who comes over as soon as it opens for business. I only come here at noon and dinner time in the evening. Every time, I would rush to finish my meal and leave.
Of course, as long as he was there, that gaze was still on his little porter.
With the adjustment of Lu Yunchu's visit to Ruyixuan, his time from a fan has also changed. There are fewer cases of people crowding in to occupy a seat before the meal time, and there are fewer cases of occupying a seat after eating......
Baozhu said she liked the change. Because she can return to her previous start time, she no longer has to start work an hour and a half early every day.
......
Today's Ruyixuan business is particularly good! But not because of Lu Yunchu.
Baozhu realized it later, and asked Xiao Wu to know that today is the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar - the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Back to the backyard after finishing work in the evening. Sitting at the stone table, Baozhu looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and felt very lonely.
Orb is homesick.
She is the only daughter in the family, and her parents only had her in their thirties and regarded her as the pearl of their palms, so they didn't think about it after she was born, and directly named her "Zhu".
Both parents are university professors, and although they love her, they are always busy with work and their own scientific research, and they don't have much time to spend with her.
For as long as she can remember, she has been alone. Ever since she was a child, she could only watch other children through the window when they were laughing and playing in the yard. Because her parents were busy with work and worried about her safety, they locked her in the house alone.
When she was eight years old, she was a guest at her uncle's house when she was just starting elementary school and found her cousin, who was two years older than her, playing a computer game. That was her first exposure to Miracles.
When she got home, she downloaded "Magic" on the computer her parents bought her. From then on, when other children were playing outside the window, they could no longer see the little girl who was watching them through the glass, because she had her own entertainment world.
When he grew up, he studied in other places and went directly to his master's degree after his bachelor's degree. When she was about to graduate, her parents had already booked her a good job in her hometown, but she refused. That was the first time she refused her parents' request, and she wanted to have her own life. Due to her excellent grades, she was retained as a counselor. And the place where she works is 800 kilometers away from her parents and her hometown.
She yearns for freedom and a different life. It's just that twenty-four years of family education and living habits have been integrated into her bones, she doesn't like to interact with people, more often, she lives in her own world, and the world of "Magic".
In the past twenty-four years of her real life, she has spent every Mid-Autumn Festival with her parents.
Over the past year, she has wondered countless times what state she is in in real life? Is the time here synchronized with the real time? Perhaps, as described in many time-travel novels, she has become an unconscious vegetative person? Have her parents given up their respective jobs to take care of her and accompany her? Do her students who always break their hearts miss her?
Thinking of this, Baozhu's eyes were a little sour.
Thinking of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she spent it with Aunt Bao.
At that time, she and Aunt Bao were standing by the Qingxi, and she kept looking at the big and round moon, and Aunt Bao always looked at her with pity......
It's been so long, and I don't know if everything is okay with A-Niang? Brother Bai Yu's child is about to be born, right? And those cherry blossom trees in Qingxi Village, those are the most beautiful cherry blossoms she has ever seen!
Thinking of Sakura, she suddenly remembered something......
As she was crouching under the pear tree in the corner of the backyard, she heard a voice behind her.
"Xiao Zhu'er, what are you doing on this big night?" asked Boss Hua in surprise.
"Ah, Boss Hua, are you here, good evening!" Baozhu greeted Boss Hua politely, but his hand did not stop......
Seeing that she didn't stand up to greet her as usual, Boss Hua put the thing he was holding on the stone table, and walked to the corner to look at her.
"Boss Hua, you sit down first, I'll be fine for a while!" Baozhu was busy, his hands were covered with mud, and his cheeks were also stained with a lot.
"You're a typical midnight corner!" said Boss Hua as he stood behind her and laughed.
Baozhu didn't know how to answer, so he just dug up. Finally, the next moment she happily said, "Okay, it's dug up!"
Following her words, Boss Hua looked over and saw that there were two jars buried under the tree.
Bao Zhu took out two jars, gently wiped the soil on them, turned around and put them on the stone table, but happened to see what Boss Hua put on the stone table......
"Mooncakes?" exclaimed Baozhu, with joy in his tone.
On the stone table was a cardboard box, and in the box lay four delicate mooncakes.
"It's ......"
"Employee welfare!Isn't this today......'s Mid-Autumn Festival?
"Boss Flower, you're so good!" the orb cried out with joy again.
When Boss Hua was told this, he became uncomfortable, touched his nose and said, "You girl is so easy to deceive, right?
"Wrong! Mooncakes can't fool me! It's just that eating mooncakes on a day like today has a different meaning!" Baozhu replied with a raised face, so that she wouldn't tell him that eating mooncakes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was something she and her parents had to do every year.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if her parents are busy, even if she later works in other places, every Mid-Autumn Festival, she and her parents will rush home to eat mooncakes together.
"Go wash it, your hands and face are ......" Boss Hua looked at her with disgust again.
She quickly washed her hands and face, ran back to the stone table with a cigarette, and looked at the box of mooncakes with sparkling eyes.
"What's in your two jars?" asked Boss Hua.
"This is my own wine, let's try it together?" said Baozhu happily.
These two jars of wine were made when she first came to Ruyixuan.
At that time, the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom, and every time she stood in front of the Ruyi Xuan door, there would always be large petals falling on the cherry blossom tree. In the beginning, she would often look at the cherry blossom trees in a daze, thinking about the past, and thinking about everything she should have missed. Later, she began to collect the fallen petals.
In reality, a colleague in the same office likes to drink wine and prefers to make his own wine, so Baozhu was curious and asked about the process of making wine.
Once she had collected enough petals, she followed the wine-making process and used them as raw materials to make two jars of wine. There was no refrigerator to store here, so she buried two jars of wine under the shady pear tree in the corner of the backyard wall, following the example of the ancients.
"Xiao Zhu'er, you are so good! you can even make wine?" Boss Hua exclaimed, and then asked, "What kind of wine is this?"
"Huh?" I really didn't think about giving her a name for her wine, but my mind turned away, and after a moment my eyes lit up and said:
"Let's call it Drunken Sakura!"
