5. Unintentional lingering (I)
For dinner in the Su family's old house, I still ordered a banquet from a restaurant on the street and invited the two "elders", which was regarded as a thank you.
200,000 yuan can't even buy a bathroom in Shanghai, but it's a lot of money here. The Su family's old mansion is worth this price, even in a remote town, there are not many houses that are so exquisite, no wonder Ye'er was very sad when she heard that her sister sold it.
Three brick and timber corner houses are built on the river, and the brick carved gatehouse separates a piece of privacy and tranquility; The patio in the front yard was carefully arranged by the original owner as a small garden, separated by a short cobbled path.
There is a pomegranate tree on the left and right sides of the patio, and a circle of bluestone is formed in the middle of the cobblestone path. Zhu Tong asked Ye'er where there used to be trees, but he didn't get an answer, and he looked very lonely.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival, a round of bright moon hung up the pomegranate tree early, and after eating, a small table was opened in the yard, fruits and dried fruits were placed, and the purple sand tea set was taken out to enjoy the moon and drink tea.
If it's just a trip like a horse's eye, Jiangnan Town is no more than small bridges, flowing water, and people; Eating, drinking, and playing are all about the same, and it doesn't mean much to watch too much.
But if you can integrate into it, you can taste the strong water town style and feel the distant humanistic atmosphere; The small bridges have become the best places to admire the moon, and the heavens and the earth reflect each other.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in the town must drink osmanthus wine, eat moon cakes, and burn incense buckets to pay tribute to the moon god. There is no osmanthus tree in the patio of the Su family's old house, but there is a small bridge not far away, and the door is open when eating and enjoying the moon. There are constantly people passing by in the town, the children take a moon cake or candy, the woman will come in and say a few words to the Su sisters that the children don't understand, and at the end of the small gift, they will smile and say thank you. The man took a cigarette and squatted down next to the gatehouse, and some would ask for a cup of osmanthus nectar wine. At least on this night, there is no mutual defense and calculation between people in the city, and those who can return to their hometowns for reunion are relatives.
The elders have always praised Li Xiang as a rare talent, and he has a lot of things like a bright future. Similar compliments can be heard every day, but listening to these simple old men say it over and over again, the little liar feels that his face is hot, and it is not clear whether his face is red or not under the cover of night.
Ye Er spent most of his time fiddling with the incense bucket, which seemed to be an old object, and the sand silk covered by the bucket was dyed yellow, but it was not broken. The sand silk is embroidered with a picture of Chang'e running to the moon, and there are two lines of poetry written with a brush: "The full moon burns incense, holding hands and lingering."
The incense burning in the incense bucket, Ye Er used a silver shovel, carefully served, and when the cigarette smoke was thick, it dispersed the mosquitoes by the river.
Zhu Tong enjoyed this Mid-Autumn Festival very much, sitting under the pomegranate tree, listening to the old man talk about the past of the town, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, holding Ye'er's soft little hand under the table, and the puppy Yin and Yang drilled around under the table, he thought that this was life.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a time for the gathering of Jianghu figures, and the so-called Jianghu drinking parties are all held during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, there will be a lot of masters of the rivers and lakes gathered in the Shanshui Taoist Temple to participate in the grand celebration held by the Taoist Sect. Although Zhu Tong politely declined Yu Xuanzhen's invitation, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart. In a sense, the Sanshui Taoist Temple is equivalent to the dojo of the bamboo Taoist priest, and it is said that the stars will also participate in this opening ceremony.
The moon passed overhead, and before she knew it, Xiaobao was sleeping in Su Juan's arms, and the elders said goodbye and left; Ye Er led Zhu Tong into the room near the river. this
It was where she lived when she was a child, and the furniture in the room was still the same, with only two narrow single beds.
The old house was in poor condition and there was no water heater, so the five people could only take turns to freshen up, and the well water used for showering had to be boiled in a pot with gas.
Outside the wooden window, there was gurgling water, and when Zhu Tong looked back for a while, Ye Er was erecting two mosquito nets. The town is near the river, and there are many mosquitoes.
"It's okay to hang one, right?" Zhu Tong approached with a wicked smile, Ye Er blushed, and said in a low voice: "You have to hang two, don't you want to make it bad." β
"Am I bad?" Zhu Tong wrapped his arms around Ye Er's slender body, hooked her chin with his left hand, and looked at it carefully.
Ye Er swayed her head and lowered her head not to look at him, if it was before, her long hair would scatter over to cover her master's shame; But now she has short hair, Zhu Tong is used to it, and the master is not very used to it.
"Li Xiang, I don't want you to do too much for money, many people can get married without a house."
Zhu Tong didn't expect Ye Er to still be thinking about last night, and said lovingly: "Don't worry, this is my first time to speculate in stocks, and it is also the last time, I will cancel my account when I go back." β
Ye Er finally raised her head, happy and happy; Zhu Tong's heart became colder and colder, hugging the warm body of nephrite, seeking intoxicating warmth.
Recently, Zhu Tong often has a sense of danger, which is an instinct honed since childhood to remind him: leave Shanghai, leave Ye'er, leave everything now; Sooner or later, the scam will go bankrupt, and it is better to make a decision now than to regret it in the future.
However, Zhu Tong knew that it was easy to die if he left, and he couldn't imagine what the point of living like that would be, so he could only try to maintain this scam.
Every minute and every second of getting along with Ye'er has an indescribable warmth for him, he enjoys it, feels it, buries it in his heart, and melts it into his blood. He thought: if there really is no eternity, at least a little more memory.
Thinking of this, Zhu Tong began to tremble, his chest was suffocated, and sweat oozed from his cheeks and forehead.
He gritted his teeth and persevered, secretly swallowing two cough suppressants, barely controlling his breathing, and waiting for the attack to pass as soon as possible.
The moon shone into the river, reflecting a ray of light through the screen window.
Ye Er noticed that her lover was sweating, and asked some worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable again? β
"It's nothing, it's hot."
The Mid-Autumn Festival night in the town is sweltering, and the old houses have no air conditioning; Ye Er pressed him to the bed, found a puff fan and sat on the mosquito net, and gently fanned him.
"You're not well yet, go to sleep first."
In such a situation, how can anyone sleep?
But Zhu Tong still closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
On the 15th of the moon and the sixteenth reunion, early the next morning, Zhu Tong went to the grave of his parents with the Su sisters to worship.
The baby is not sensible, he is scared when he sees the tombstone, and is taken aside by the Shanghai man to set off a cannon.
Ye'er was pulled by Su Juan to kneel in front of the monument, burning the paper and crying.
As soon as she cried, Ye'er also cried, the two sisters have depended on each other since childhood, and the crying they ate turned into tears and sprinkled in front of their parents.
Zhu Tong didn't persuade him, he also wanted to cry, and even envied the Su family sisters.
Since he was a child, he had no concept of parents, he didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and he didn't know where to cry even if he wanted to.
After sacrificing his parents, the trip to the countryside will come to an end. A few people went back to the old house to pack their things, and the new owner was also there, and he came to see them off.
Ye Er was caressing every piece of furniture in the former boudoir, and the new owner was discussing with Su Juan how to repair the old house outside. Zhu Tong's eyes were slightly red when she saw Ye'er, after all, she had been here longer than her sister, and the old house represented the innocent time in her life, and every tile and brick was full of memories.
"We have enough money now, so why don't I discuss with him and get the old house back. It's not far from Shanghai here, the scenery is good, and it's more comfortable to live in Shanghai than in Shanghai. β
"No need." Ye Er wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and looked at her lover gratefully; "Can you think so...... I'm grateful; It's just that we won't have that much time. The old house has been old for many years, just like people, no one cares that the old will be fast. Rather than watch it fall into disuse, let someone who needs it take care of it. β
"That's right." Zhu Tong nodded, everyone is really busy, and they really don't have much time to take care of the old house; Ye'er is still very sensible, but too rational.
Su Juan took Ye'er to a few close relatives' homes to say goodbye, and at ten o'clock, Renault's car drove out of the town and returned to Shanghai.
The sound of flowers sounded in the stereo, and the atmosphere in the car relaxed, Su Juan began to worry about her sister again, suggesting that they buy a house soon.
Now the house price is the same every day, and the house of 20,000 square meters half a year ago has now risen to 24,000. Of course, Su Juan knew that Zhu Tong had made a lot of money by speculating in stocks, and yesterday she complained that her husband didn't seize the opportunity.
The Shanghai man wants to talk about the risks of investment, and no one in the car will listen to him, not even the youngest baby.
Zhu Tong said that he would sell all the stocks when the market opened after the festival to free up money to buy a house.
Su Juan was satisfied, Ye Er was happy, but the Shanghai man began to worry, and asked if there was any bad news, so he rolled his eyes several times.
In the evening, Zhu Tong and Ye Er came to Jin Mao Building early, the day before yesterday the flower came back from Japan, and the Yellow Sea was here today to catch the wind for the flower.
Smith is here, Zhu Tong walked into the elevator and pretended to glance around, most of the elevators here have cameras, maybe Smith is staring in front of the screen. Ha, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Tong's mouth, a little weird.
Ye Er held the flower and touched him when she saw the little liar's sly smile: "What are you laughing at, it's really ugly." β
"It's nothing, I remember what a flower used to be; Can you guess what she looks like now? β
"What else could it be?" Ye Er is also happy, she is happy for the flower.
Walking into the private room, not only Ye Er was surprised, but Zhu Tong was the same, they could hardly recognize the beautiful girl standing in front of them, it was the former Xiangxi girl and Phoenix Fairy Flower.
The flower used to be very beautiful, but now she is not beautiful or beautiful at all, she is simply an angel, so beautiful that it is unreal, it can be said that it is a mess.
Zhu Tong frowned: "Huahua, why did you have plastic surgery?" β
"In the future, my name is Phoenix Xue, and the stage name that Mr. Cai gave me is good?" Not only has the person changed, but even the name has changed.
"It's nice, but it's not as kind as a flower." Ye Er sent flowers, pulling flowers and looking up and down left and right.
The flower used to have a slightly shorter nose, slightly higher cheekbones, and a rounded face; Now, the nose is high, the cheekbones are soft, the eyebrows are carefully designed, and the whole face looks thinner. Importantly, her skin was snowy, not in its natural state.
"I have suffered a lot in Japan, and every day the queue is full, and I am tired of learning songs, recording, dancing, and filming; There is also surgery. The company said that after this month, I won't have a chance to go shopping. I'm going to the set tomorrow, and I've been waiting for me for months, and I have to hurry up with the incident, and the director has urged me many times. There is also a performance, and Miss Song has invited me to her evening party in ....... β
The flower has initially possessed the style of a star, and it is all those things that are open and closed. She took Ye'er's shoulders and took out a set of high-end cosmetics: "This is what I gave you, Sister Ye'er must accept it." Look at your skin...... Is it the recent Taimeng? This one is a ...... designed for Asians. β
Ye Er accepted it, the wind and sand in Beijing were dry, and she felt a lot haggard; In fact, she has a daughter jade to protect herself, she is still her, but her hair is short, and the whole person looks a lot more capable, and of course the gentleness is not enough.
