Chapter 41: Love at First Sight
"Do you want to go for a walk?" When sending Yi Mena home, Yi Jian suddenly stood at the door and asked.
"Where to go?" Zhong Qing tilted his head and looked at him from the side of the wall, Zhong Qing's house was a restaurant, and a wall was built around the door.
It's cold, doesn't he like to go out?
Yi Jian didn't say anything, just stretched out an index finger and pointed upstairs, and the corners of Zhong Qing's mouth immediately curved.
The two of them went upstairs together, the building of Yi Jian's house was made on the second floor, and Zhong Qing's house was also made on the second floor, and the balconies of the two families were connected, so they could communicate with each other when they walked to the balcony.
Once, Zhong Qing went home and forgot to bring the key, so he went from Yijian's house.
In fact, to be more precise, in order to save money at that time, the middle wall of the house between the two families was shared.
When I was a child, the balcony of Zhong Qing's house was full of all kinds of vegetables, including vegetables such as shallots, garlic, coriander and peppers, and the one in Yi Jian's house was used to dry quilts.
There's a big platform in between the two that they're used to chat.
When I was a child, there was no air conditioning in the summer, and the electric fans blew hot air, and both families liked to sleep on the rooftops. Zhong Qing remembers that the roof of the building was very cold at night, and sleeping on it, he could see meteors passing by every night.
Now that all these years have passed, she sometimes goes upstairs to have a look, but there are no more shooting stars.
"The roof of your house is so dirty!" Zhong Qing looked at the roof of their house and was a little stunned, although sometimes he would help them clean it, but after all, no one lived in it, and it was still a little dirty and unbearable.
Yi Jian smiled and said, "Well, I think too." ”
His tone was always like this, and it sounded very comfortable with a faint tone.
"Then you're not going to clean up, aren't you?" Zhong Qing rolled his eyes at him, this person is always like this.
"It's okay, I don't live often, I just want to take you up to have a look." Yi Jian said lightly.
He suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, when Zhong Qing's parents were busy with work, she liked to sit on the platform in a daze, and the small figure was so thin. There used to be a small rattan chair on the left side of the platform, but it had become tattered after the sun.
In this way, the two men sat back to back on the platform.
The platform has not been cleaned for a long time, and it looks a little mossy, and it is tanned by the sun. But when Zhong Qing came up, she brought a few pieces of paper and snacks made by her father.
"Do you want to eat it, it's delicious?" Zhong Qing picked up a piece of toothpick meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and made a sound with satisfaction.
Yi Jian glanced at her lightly, and suddenly came to the edge of the roof, looking at the thousands of lights in a daze.
The development of the town is getting better and better, and now everyone has built small bungalows and big villas, and some have even been capped, and there is no balcony to see at all. Unlike when I was a child, many people lived in tiled houses, even small western-style buildings with one or two floors, and every house had a balcony.
At that time, when Zhong Qing's family lived in it, they could often see the neighbors' houses, and the familiar children would shout each other's names loudly on the rooftop, and some would even use flashlights to shake them.
I remember that there was a power outage in the town, and the hot weather made everyone hide on the roof of the building, and I don't remember who shouted "called" loudly to the night sky, and everyone shouted, and the whole night sky kept repeating the phrase "called".
Suddenly, Zhong Qing missed the time when she was a child, so beautiful, a little thing can make each other happy for a long, long time.
"How? Doesn't it feel different from before, a lot of things have changed? Zhong Qing came to Yi Jian's side and followed his gaze.
The town is still a town, but it has changed too much.
"It's good you're still here." Yi Jian turned around and smiled at her.
Zhong Qing lowered her head a little embarrassed, picked up the toothpick meat in her hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at her shy appearance, it was easy to see that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Do you think the town will be like a metropolis in the future? There are no more old houses, will we demolish them here? Zhong Qing looked into the distance with some amazement, hearing that a highway was going to be built near the town, and he didn't know if it would be affected.
Last year, a high-speed rail was built in a village near the town, and all the people were relocated.
"No, it won't." Yi Jian comforted her and sat on the platform with her in his arms.
Seeing that she was wearing a little thin, he hurriedly pulled down his down jacket, hugged her into his arms, and then re-zipped it up.
Zhong Qing was like a kitten, hiding in Yi Jian's arms, occasionally poking his head out to look at him, thanks to Yi Jian's down jacket, Zhong Qing was very thin, and could accommodate the figure of two people.
Suddenly, a huge thunder rang out in the sky, rumbling through the calm of the night sky, like the bell in a temple, making people feel dreaded.
"It's going to rain tomorrow." Zhong Qing raised her head and looked at the sky in a daze.
Yi Jian lowered his head, his chin rested on Zhong Qing's hair, and his warm breath appeared on the tip of Zhong Qing's nose one after another, making Zhong Qing's ears soft, as if there was an electric current flowing through.
Sure enough, the next day it began to rain lightly in the town, and then it became heavier and heavier, and it became a heavy rain.
"Old Bell, Old Bell." Early in the morning, I heard Yi's father's shout, "Come on, come on, you can make up the number." ”
Father Zhong was making soup in the kitchen, and when he heard his voice, he hurriedly put down the spoon in his hand, poked his head out and said, "Go find Lao Zhang next door?" Recently, his wife went back to the countryside to take care of her daughter, and I was busy with the Chinese New Year. ”
Who knew that Dad Yi didn't say a word and pulled him up and walked outside, saying as he walked: "How can he have a tacit understanding with us, let's go, I haven't fought for many years." ”
Four Corners Poker is popular in the town, similar to the tractor in the game today.
Especially when it rains, every house has a few tables, and occasionally there are mahjong players, and the tables are full of people watching the excitement.
"Hey, Lao Yi, the one who just came out is your son, he looks quite handsome!" The old Zhang next door greeted him with a smile, turned around three times one step at a time, and always looked at Yi's father's house.
I heard that Father Yi made a fortune, and the threshold of their family was going to be broken in the past two days, and everyone I knew came to see it.
Father Yi smiled and nodded.
"What's the matter? I haven't come back for so many years, is this time I coming back to prepare for a happy event? Lao Zhang joked about him, wearing a military coat, he looked like a security guard, but he didn't know that he used to be a security guard, but once he was fighting against gangsters on duty, accidentally injured his leg, and walked with a limp.
Father Zhong and Father Yi glanced at each other, nodded a little awkwardly, and soon looked at each other and smiled.
"I'll just say, when I was a child, I saw that the two of them were a good match, but I didn't expect you to really become in-laws when you grew up." Lao Zhang continued to tease.
There are many people in the town, and each family has its own business.
"Lao Zhang, who became a family member? Isn't your daughter just born? "An uncle came out of the alley, still on crutches, a well-known lazy man in the town, sixty or seventy years old and without a wife or children.
Lao Zhang smiled and said nothing, the man was bored with himself, shook his head and left.
"Old Zhong, where have you gone?" Mother Zhong was making noodles, and when she turned around, she didn't see Father Zhong, and immediately shouted loudly.
Dad Zhong smiled awkwardly at Dad Yi, patted Lao Zhang's shoulder when he passed by him, turned around and said guiltily: "Look, look, I'll just say I don't have time, there are a lot of things to do now, you guys play, and I'll play with you in the evening." ”
Father Yi shook his head and went in with Lao Zhang in his arms.
In fact, he has a task today, Yi's mother just told him about Yi Jian and Zhong Qing, and plans to wait for Zhong Qing to order when he interns, and get married as soon as he graduates.
Now that he is so busy, he can only save it until the evening.
Zhong Qing was sorting out the materials in the room, and a tall figure burst out of the room, and suddenly jumped in front of Zhong Qing and asked, "Why are you still here?" ”
Zhong Qing was startled, looked at him, slapped him on the arm hard, and scolded: "Don't be here, you're scared me to death." ”
Yi Jian squinted his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows from time to time to look at the ceiling, sat on her bed with long legs, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked leisurely: "Are you sure you want to be here, don't read the message I sent you." ”
Zhong Qing put down the mouse, turned around and squeezed out a smile at him embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Sure." ”
Yi Jian was deflated, frowned and nodded, and slowly walked to the window and opened the window.
The wind blew in, and the cold Zhong Qing couldn't help but shiver.
"What is this? It's cold. A small snowflake followed the footsteps of the wind and came to Zhong Qing's table, and soon disappeared. She hugged her body, glared at Yi Jian fiercely, and said, "Childish, how old are you." If I catch a cold, what's in it for you, really. ”
When she came to the window, she immediately became uncalm and shouted loudly: "Ahhh
The voice was too sharp, and it was so sudden, Mother Zhong was so frightened downstairs that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand on the ground, and she didn't have time to pick them up, so she came to the staircase and asked, "Baby, what's wrong with you?" ”
Father Zhong also heard the sound and hurriedly ran over.
Zhong Qing smiled awkwardly and replied, "Mom, I'm fine, it's snowing." ”
"This kid was shocked and scared to death." Mother Zhong shook her head and slowly returned to the position she had just placed.
However, Father Zhong was a little uncomfortable, pointed upstairs and asked, "Is it really okay for the two of them to be upstairs?" ”
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to have multiple grandchildren." Mother Zhong smiled.
"You're really big, do you have a mother like this?" Daddy Zhong counted her down.
"You don't have to do it, I am, my daughter is older, I can't control it, you have to believe in your own daughter, she has her own measure." Mother Zhong looked at him calmly.
But she didn't know that when she knew that Zhong Qing and Yi Jian were in love, she had already talked to Zhong Qing about some precautions, but she understood before she finished speaking, and now children are more precocious.
