Chapter 10: Wake up
Even when I wake up from a dream, sometimes I am still in a dream; It is always difficult for people to see themselves clearly.
7/21/08
Yu Xiaochuan has been back from Qin Pavilion for some time, but these days are also calm. Lao Qin's did hurt the opponent, and judging by the situation, the injury was not light, so that the other party did not continue to harass Yu Xiaochuan these days.
At the end of July, it was a good time to eat seafood, Yu Xiaochuan had a fishy mouth, thinking of Lao Qin and Feng Xue's care these days, it was better to entertain a good meal, and by the way, call the rich woman to talk about himself and Feng Xue.
The morning market gathers uncles and aunts from various communities, and the morning market here is no different from other places. The air is filled with the fishy smell of fish and shrimp mixed with the smell of raw meat of pigs, sheep and cattle, and there is a rotten pear on the left and a rotten jujube on the right; The water in the tank turned over and splashed down with the beating of the fish, and a few distinctive, loud voices can always be found in the noisy chaos, for the aunts and uncles, this is a signal of consumption, many aunts and uncles pay attention to the quality of the dishes, but in fact they do not consume rationally, and they have hardly bought things according to their own experience; Those who are carefully selected are only a minority.
"Young man! Buy your own groceries! Come on, come on, look at this young man, it's really rare for people to buy their own vegetables! The old man said that you would accompany me to buy groceries, but you didn't come! Learn something! The sudden aunt scared Yu Xiaochuan into a thrill, and the uncle was counted on the side.
"Oh, how do you know it's not an inverted door, housewife? Besides, when we all went to the team to get food stamps, I said that you have to talk about me if you have something to do, this person! This man! "The uncle's angry words are not good, it seems that this uncle is also a strict wife.
Yu Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, nodded in respect, and turned around to walk away. At the moment when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure - Lin Xi! "Lin Xi is coming to me!" Yu Xiaochuan thought, but when he wanted to chase it, the figure had already disappeared into the sea of people.
The shoulders sank, "Stinky boy!" Buy good things and don't call me? Lao Qin didn't know where to come out of nowhere and put his hand on Yu Xiaochuan's shoulder.
"No, I said you're really good at! I originally wanted you to come to my house for a meal, but why did it taste bad in your mouth? Forget it, I won't entertain you. Yu Xiaochuan knew that Lao Qin was too lazy to cook, and if he couldn't eat well on weekdays, he would wait for others to cook a meal, so he played poor.
"Don't don't, good brother, your brother and I are tired of running around for you every day, and I can't eat well, isn't this just waiting for you to arrange!" Old Qin unexpectedly pulled Yu Xiaochuan to intercede.
Yu Xiaochuan pushed Lao Qin away: "Come to my house early in the evening." ”
"Medium! Thank you, brother! "Old Qin Le blossomed," by the way, sell two carps, one with black scales and one with green skin; Buy another four catties of baked cakes and one catty of garlic. If the carp is alive, it should be filled with water in a bag, and it must not die. ”
"Why are you buying these? What's the matter? Yu Xiaochuan asked.
"Well, you're a bit of an eyebrow on that." Lao Qin nodded.
3 p.m
Yu Xiaochuan suddenly woke up, he dreamed of Lin Xi, Lin Xi was locked in a magma river of stone forest, dark and dark, and Lin Xi was covered with injuries, his face was haggard, and there were four black-clothed people around him, they exchanged positions clockwise every once in a while, and they seemed to be babbling something. Just when Yu Xiaochuan wanted to go up to see Lin Xi's heart-rending cry to his position, that scene scared Yu Xiaochuan to wake up, Lin Xi's mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were almost bursting out when he shouted, and the four men in black inserted four steel needles into Lin Xi's waist almost at the same time, Lin Xi twisted and struggled.
Yu Xiaochuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and picked up his mobile phone, after all, it was a dream. He dialed Feng Xue's phone.
"Xue'er, call your aunt to come to my house in the evening, I will entertain you, show your hands." When Yu Xiaochuan heard the sound of dialing, he hurriedly said that the dream still could not be calmed down.
"How are you?" Feng Xue choked suddenly, since she left from Lao Qin, Feng Xue had been terrified of Yu Xiaochuan, "Okay, it's okay if you say anything." ”
The phone hung up, Yu Xiaochuan was silent, he fell into self-blame, in another world, there was a woman he loved who suffered for him, and there was no news of the bird, but he was here to talk about love, and what to prepare for a dinner, it was simply irresponsible.
In this way, Yu Xiaochuan sat all afternoon, until Lao Qin came to his house first.
"Boy, what time is it, still sitting, don't you say show your hands?" Lao Qin crossed Erlang's legs and grabbed the loose sugar on the table.
"I had a dream." Yu Xiaochuan still lowered his head and looked at his hands.
"What dream?" Lao Qin peeled off the candy wrapper and threw the sugar into his mouth.
"About Lin Xi." Yu Xiaochuan's face was ugly.
"What! Come and talk about it! When Lao Qin heard that it was about Lin Xi, he sat up straight suddenly.
Yu Xiaochuan described the content of the dream to Lao Qin one by one, and covered his eyes with his hands together.
"It seems that the speed is going to be accelerated, and their hiding place must be found as soon as possible." Lao Qin pinched his beard, slightly melancholy.
"Don't worry, these things are not in a hurry, I have calculated, Lin Xi should be nothing serious, but your dream has to be taken seriously, this is a sign;" Lao Qin's painting style changed, "Hey, cheer up!" Feng Xue and Xiaoyun are coming tonight, don't spoil the fun. ”
In the dimly lit room, Yu Xiaochuan's silence, Lao Qin didn't dare to make a sound, and the sweat that kept gushing out of his pores couldn't help but stir his spirit; After a while, Yu Xiaochuan finally got up and walked to the kitchen.
At the time of the meal, Yu Xiaochuan's house is not big, the left hand side of the door is the toilet, the open space on the east side of the toilet is simply laid with a mattress is the place to sleep, and the larger open space on the right hand side of the door includes an open kitchen and dining and living room; The dining and living room is actually a multi-functional use of an area.
Yu Xiaochuan pulled out four hollow rectangles that were originally used as cabinets under the table from the bottom of the table, which were chairs, and the narrow table top was not enough to accommodate four people to eat together, let alone in this kind of banquet full of dishes; Yu Xiaochuan touched under the table, pulled it casually, and four wooden boards slid out on all sides of the table, and then Yu Xiaochuan pulled up one end of the plank, and the other three were lifted and fixed on the four sides of the table, so that a dining table that could accommodate four people appeared, this kind of space-saving furniture was an eye-opener in the eyes of the other three, after all, Lao Qin was an old bachelor, and there were few friends who could be invited to his home, so he couldn't use it; And Feng Xue herself is the daughter of a rich woman, and her home is a two-story single-family villa, so she doesn't need to consider the space problem at all.
"What kind of black technology is this? It can also be transformed! "Lao Qin showed that he had never seen the world, maybe he didn't understand anything other than literature and play.
"It's just a simple table, the place is small, there is no way, you can only use this folding." Yu Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed, after all, Feng Xue and the rich woman were here.
"Lao Tzu knows, you don't have to despise Lao Tzu so much!" Lao Qin took Yu Xiaochuan's honesty as a mockery.
Yu Xiaochuan ignored Lao Qin, "Come on, aunt, Xue'er, try my craft." After speaking, Yu Xiaochuan gave Feng Xue and the rich woman sweet and sour tenderloin.
This is done by the person in his heart, Feng Xue shook her head and twisted her body, meaning to let Yu Xiaochuan feed him, but unfortunately, after all, her mother is here, Yu Xiaochuan is very cowardly, how dare she be too ambiguous in front of her aunt without consent.
"Hey, Ogawa! Are you putting too much sugar? Feng Xue spit out the meat she had just put in her mouth.
"Ahh No, I did what was written in the book. After speaking, Yu Xiaochuan added a piece to himself, "Gross, it's really too much!" Yu Xiaochuan was in a cold sweat, this is really "falling off the chain at a critical moment".
"How can the emperor come out of the thatched house." The rich woman is not angry.
Lao Qin saw that the situation was not good and said: "Hey, Xiaoyun, you can't say that, wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang also a flower before he became the emperor, don't take it to heart if they can't reach it." After speaking, the rich woman glanced at Yu Xiaochuan, and finally picked up the chopsticks.
After a full meal and wine, it's time to talk about Yu Xiaochuan and Feng Xue. Feng Xue kicked Yu Xiaochuan, making Yu Xiaochuan raise a toast and then tell the two of them about it.
Yu Xiaochuan squirmed: "This ...... This, Brother Qin, Aunt Yun, I don't care so clearly, Brother Qin and I have known each other for too long and are too familiar; I salute two of you with a glass" Yu Xiaochuan took a drink and drank it all, "Aunt Yun, there is something I want to tell you."
Yu Xiaochuan hadn't finished speaking, "Don't think about it! The rich woman immediately interrupted, "Want to eat swan meat?" You don't pee and look in the mirror, you don't even deserve to be a toad! ”
"Mom!" Feng Xue couldn't bear it anymore when she heard that the rich woman had damaged Xiaochuan so much.
Lao Qin coughed and dragged Feng Xue to calm her down.
"Xiaoyun, we Xue'er recognize, why should we interfere as elders? That's right, we should enjoy the blessings, if you want me to say, you give me a face, don't care. Lao Qin stood up and helped the rich woman, "Xiaochuan, this kid is not nothing, no, I bought this suite by myself, although it is not big, but it is not nothing, not to mention that I will teach him everything I can in the future." ”
"No, we were miserable in those days, and now that we are rich, we can't let our daughter be miserable!" The rich woman is very resolute.
"Mom! Your today, our life is your struggle! Don't we have the right to fight little by little? You can say that Xiaochuan is poor now, you can say that he is incompetent, but you can't deny his efforts, you can't deny my trust, you can't deny our love! Feng Xue burst into tears.
"Impossible! Take back the tears for me! The rich woman pulled Feng Xue and got up and left.
After Feng Xue left, Lao Qin only stayed for a while, and persuaded Yu Xiaochuan to leave, this situation really shouldn't stay here longer, it would be better to give Xiaochuan a time to think alone.
Yu Xiaochuan sat at the table, the dim candles were originally prepared for the dinner, but at this moment, they were reflected on his face, setting off a melancholy atmosphere. He thinks a lot and thoroughly. He has never touched his feelings all along, and he has always used the person in his dreams - Lin Xi as a shield to explain to outsiders, and now Feng Xue's appearance has made him re-embark on the road of feelings; But is this really love? Or is it simply instinctive to be thrilled when you see a beautiful woman? Is it true that he can't let go of the talent in his dreams and has persevered all these years? No, he's just cowardly, he's just cowardly, he's just always thinking that he won't be favored by the opposite sex and doesn't deserve love; Of course, what is love? Heartbeat at first sight? Mutual appreciation? Humility after marriage? Love may only be a thing that is difficult for us to touch, the state of existence between men and women, from acquaintance, acquaintance, love to marriage, childbirth, and aging, in this process of trivial but common firmness.
Wake up and see the true meaning of love; In dreams, it becomes the interpretation of love.
