Yan Qing's so-called "appreciating the snow with the moon", in Gu Li's view, is to freeze in the snow all night.

Fortunately, the two snuggled up to each other, but they didn't feel cold.

The gate of Nanzhou City was opened with the orange morning light, and the carriage drove in slowly, following the familiar road between the two, all the way without hindrance.

Since the time of parting, now, many years have passed, and when she comes back at this time, Gu Li's heart is filled with a feeling of excitement and peace.

He left with despair, but now he returns with hope.

From now on, they will have each other's company and never be separated.

The carriage stopped at the door, Gu Li helped Yan Qing's men get out of the car, gave the driver some more silver taels, and watched him drive the carriage away.

It's just dawn, it's early, and the white snow is spread in front of the door, and no one has ever set foot on it.

Yan Qing pulled Gu Li to his side and wrapped her in a snow-white fox fur cloak. The two of them creaked through the snow and walked to the two gates.

The door was covered with a brass lock, battered by wind and frost, forgotten by time, and the lock was already covered with green patina.

Gu Li looked at the lock and frowned slightly: "Is there a key?" ”

"Nope."

"And how do we get in?"

Yan Qing didn't answer, but picked up a stone from the side and threw it towards the copper lock.

There was a loud bang, and when Gu Li opened his eyes again, he saw that the copper lock covered with green rust and the knocker on one side had been smashed off.

And so the violence was solved?

"Why is this lock so unsmashed?" Gu Li questioned, how could it be smashed open at once?

Yan Qing smiled slightly and replied, "If you smash it, it will definitely not work." ”

Which position to smash and how much force to use were all carefully calculated by him.

Gu Li pursed her lips, and a few smiles leaked from her lips.

"I'll have to spend more money on repairing the door, and I don't have much money left." Gu Li restrained her smile and complained, and asked him again, "Do you have any money?" ”

"I came in a hurry, I didn't bring it." Yan Qing replied, "Wait until I write a letter to Qiu Niang and ask her to send it." ”

"You knew she was going to send it?" Gu Li asked.

Everyone else is gone, can Qiu Niang send him money again?

"Well, I've earned her a lot of silver." After Yan Qing finished speaking, he actually looked at her again and added, "Don't worry, I have only been selling my art all these years, not my body." ”

Gu Li sneered, who asked him this?

Yan Qing pushed open the door, and the two walked in.

This small courtyard has not been inhabited for several years, and the scene inside is the same as the rusty copper lock hanging on the gate, and it is full of desolate and cold atmosphere.

"Looks like some are busy." Gu Li sighed.

The weeds in the yard are half a man tall, and it takes a lot of time just to clean them up.

"You go buy rice and vegetables, eat first." Yan Qing said to Gu Li.

Gu Li thought about it, nodded and agreed.

Tidying up the yard is not something that can be done in a while, so you still have to eat first.

She took out the basket from the kitchen, shook off the dust on it, put on Yan Qing's snow-white fox fur cloak, and walked out.

She bought not only rice and vegetables, but also some daily necessities. After several years, many of the previous things can no longer be used, and some of them still have to be repurchased.

She came home with her things and saw that Yan Qing had cleaned up the kitchen and the house, and was boiling hot water at the moment.

Smoke wafts from the chimney on the kitchen roof, into the air, and then scatters in the wind. Rao is an indifferent heart, and he will be infected with a bit of human fireworks by this feeling.

Gu Li's heart was full, all of them were down-to-earth and satisfied. From now on, they will live in this simple world and live the most ordinary life. There is no strife and conspiracy, only tranquility and indifference. In this life, it is very good.

Yan Qing heard the noise, walked out of the kitchen, and asked with a smile: "Are you back?" ”

"Hmm", Gu Li put down the basket in his hand, and saw a trace of dust rubbing on the corner of his snow-white clothes out of nowhere, so he walked over and patted him clean.

"The house has been cleaned up, you go and rest for a while, I'll cook." Yan Qing's warm voice whispered in her ear.

Gu Li was surprised by his quick action, and said, "Okay, then don't be tired." ”

Although his physical condition has improved slightly, he is still weak and should not be overworked.

"Okay." Yan Qing smiled at the corner of his lips and agreed, his demeanor was calm and calm, and he was not half sick.

No matter how weak her body is, as long as she is by her side, she can have a turnaround.

Yan Qing combed her slightly messy hair in front of her forehead, and the two looked at each other and smiled, one entered the house and the other entered the kitchen.

Gu Li didn't rest after entering the house, just went out to buy groceries, and she wasn't tired at all. She left her newly bought bedding to dry in the sun and put everything else in order. When that's all done, breakfast is ready.

The breakfast for two people is simple and simple, the plain white rice porridge is paired with a few refreshing side dishes, which is plain and bland, but it can make people eat all kinds of flavors.

After breakfast, the two cleaned up the small yard together, removed the weeds in the yard, and cleaned it up. By the time the house was refreshed inside and out, the twilight of the sunset had quietly spread over the horizon.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Gu Li looked at the clean courtyard and watched the bluestone platform lying quietly under the straight plane tree. In a flash, my mind was pulled back to years ago.

She seemed to see that under the thick shade of the sycamore, he was dressed in white, sitting on the bluestone platform and caressing the strings. Next to the piano table, tea is boiling on the small clay stove, and the snow foams and milk, gurgling. The fragrance of tea lingers around the fragrance of sycamore flowers, wafting all over the courtyard......

Yan Qing hung two lanterns at the door so that when he returned late, he could see the way home from a long distance.

After Gu Li handed him the lantern, his gaze swept to the smashed copper knocker.

"I'm going to find a craftsman to repair the door tomorrow."

Yan Qing replied: "No need. ”

As he spoke, he took out a key.

"Didn't you say you didn't have the key?" Gu Li asked.

"When I left, I left a handful in the house."

But this lock has been old for a long time, and the rust is terrible, and Yan Qing took a lot of effort to open the lock.

He found some more tools to repair the knocker that he had smashed.

Gu Li stood aside and watched, her ears full of tinkling sounds.

In the midst of this clanging sound, a question suddenly came from behind him.

"You're new here?" A woman asked, as if tentatively.

Gu Li looked back and immediately laughed.

"Sister-in-law Chang!" She shouted.

Sister-in-law Chang was stunned for a moment, and her face was full of surprise.

"Doctor Gu, it's you, you're back?"

Gu Li nodded: "Well, I'm back." ”

It's been a long time since I left, but I didn't expect to come back and see acquaintances. Sister-in-law Chang's family still lives here.

"I heard the movement early in the morning, and I knew that someone had moved in, so I dared to come over and take a look, but I didn't expect it to be your brother and sister coming back."

"Have you eaten? Let's go to my house for dinner? Sister-in-law Chang warmly invited.

"It's done, so I won't go, I'll go another day." Gu Li replied.

The old people were very happy to see each other. Gu Li exchanged pleasantries with her sister-in-law again, and when the night fell, they entered their respective homes.

After dinner, Gu Li sorted out the last thing that had not been sorted out and prepared to sleep.

She wanted to urge Yan Qing to go to sleep quickly, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that he was already standing by the bed, and he was loosening his clothes.
