9. Winter vacation

Finally, the difficult semester was finally coming to an end, and I called Jiang Yinuo and Zhang Xiao early to make an appointment to meet during the winter vacation.

During the holidays, Liang's father and Liang's mother came to school to pick up their daughter. I was very distressed to see Liang Lei's much thinner figure this semester, and she was talking about going home to cook all kinds of delicious food for her along the way. And Liang Lei also unceremoniously turned on the newspaper 'menu' mode.

"Lei Lei, why did you lose weight like this?!" The three dead friends didn't see each other for a semester, and when they met, they hugged each other, and they were extraordinarily 'affectionate'.

"But you're strong again, Nuno, take it easy, after all, you still have to get married." As soon as I saw them, the venomous tongue of the dragon and tiger returned.

"Get out!"

"Liang Lei, who are you doing to make people haggard?" Zhang Xiao was still the same as the hanger, and couldn't help but say something about each other.

"Not for you anyway. Look, sure enough, it's different at the beach, and it's only been a semester to become a monkey! If you don't speak, I don't even notice that there is someone next to me. "Liang Lei has never lost a war of words.

"Jiang Yinuo! You say this kind of person, can we think about her? ”

"Nonsense, if she stops talking one day, or talks to you well, that's terrible."

Hahaha......

Soon it was the Chinese New Year, and Liang Lei still followed her parents to her grandparents' house happily two days in advance.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liang Lei walked down the street alone. Since coming back these days, I have either eaten or slept, and my weight has risen rapidly like raising pigs. Finally, there were no organs swirling in front of me and the smell of potions, and even the meat could eat a few more pieces.

Grandpa and Grandma lived in the old town, and although the houses and streets are not as spacious and bright as in the new town, there is also a laid-back flavor to it. Even in winter, Liang Lei still put on a sun hat and wiped sunscreen, and slowly paced on the side of the road. Look at the scenery, see that every household is pasting couplets, and there are squatting at the door along the street to kill chickens and wash vegetables, and neighbors greet each other, which is also a unique mood.

"Liang Lei?!" Suddenly, I heard someone call my name, and when I looked back, it was Yang Chen.

"Why are you here?!" I was a little surprised to be able to meet him at this time and place.

"I live here, why are you here?" It's also full of surprises. Originally, on the way to the vegetable market, I saw the familiar figure from afar, but I didn't dare to recognize it, but I took a closer look and confirmed that it was really her.

"You live here?" I turned around and looked at it in disbelief, is it such a coincidence?

"Yes, I grew up living with my grandmother, and I lived there in front of me." Turning around, he pointed to a row of houses not far away.

"Really? My grandparents also live nearby, and I spend the Chinese New Year with them almost every year. ”

"I see, but I didn't expect us to be 'neighbors'. Where are you going? Yang Chen scratched his head, thinking that it was likely that many years ago, maybe the two of them passed by on a certain street here, and his heart was soft.

"I didn't want to go anywhere, I was too full for breakfast, and I wanted to walk around here. What about you? ”

"I'm going grocery shopping."

"You buy groceries?!" Liang Lei's hands that were originally in her pockets were instantly taken out. "What about your parents? For the Chinese New Year, do you want to come out to buy vegetables? You're too considerate, aren't you? ”

“…… I spent the New Year alone. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still said it, and for some reason, he didn't want to hide anything from her.

"Celebrating the New Year alone?" Liang Lei felt that she was still very smart and clever, but why couldn't she react at the moment.

"Well, my parents separated when I was very young. I've always followed my grandmother, and a few years ago, my grandmother passed away. So I'm now spending the New Year by myself. "Three words and two words are very light.

But Liang Lei was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she was a little inexplicably distressed. In other words, I am really not so strong, I have been used to a group of people together for the New Year since I was a child, and I was held in the palm of my hand by a group of people, I dare not imagine what to do if the world is only left with me.

"You...... It's really amazing! "This sentence came from her heart." I'll go to the vegetable market with you, I'll be fine in the morning anyway. ”

"You?!" Looking at her in a snow-white down jacket, milky white snow boots, and plush and decorated with balls, I had to show a suspicious gaze. "The market may not be very clean."

"So what, it's as if I've never seen the world. Hum! It's not that I didn't see Yang Chen's eyes, which made Liang Lei feel a little uncomfortable, why should she do it? I'm a little 'princess disease', but that doesn't mean I'm a waste person who doesn't eat fireworks in the world. Turn around and take a step.

"Where are you going?"

"Vegetable farm!"

“…… The vegetable market is over there. ”

Liang Lei also followed her father and mother to the vegetable market, but that was when she was still very young. When she grows up and has energy and time for studying, her parents will naturally not take her anymore. Even if you want to buy some food or something, it is basically in the supermarket near the community, and there is almost no entry into such a large farmers' market.

Especially today's Chinese New Year, in the morning, the stalls of groceries and sellers, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, all kinds of vegetables and fruits are not lively. Everyone spoke loudly, even loudly, pulling their throats and pricking up their ears, wishing each other well.

At this time, Liang Lei did have the feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and carefully followed behind Yang Chen. The ground was really not as clean as he said, and the air was filled with all kinds of poultry and fish, as well as the smell of cooked food, and the green fruits and vegetables. But in any case, it smells much better than formalin, and this makes Liang Lei suddenly feel a little moved, as if she smells life. Yes, this is the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt......

"You be careful, don't splash water, white shoes." Yang Chen looked at the girl behind him who was wide-eyed, looking around, and full of curiosity about everything, and suddenly couldn't help but smile, no matter when, she could be so cute.

"Hmm."

When the two came to the fish stall, Yang Chen asked lightly, "Boss, Happy New Year!" How do you sell this mandarin fish? ”

“30。” The boss replied with a smile.

"Well, weigh one for me." He bent down again to look at the large basin of water on the ground, and pointed among the fish swimming around, "This one." ”

"Great!" The boss quickly took a net and scooped up the fish that Yang Chen had pointed out, and slammed it on the cutting board, and the fish that was originally alive and bounced immediately softened and lay there, only the gills were closed one by one, and then the boss raised the knife and fell......

During the whole process, Liang Lei went from being stunned to being stunned by the fall, and when she saw the boss pick up the knife, she instinctively hid her head behind Yang Chen.

Feeling that the girl behind her was frightened, she didn't move, so she let her hide behind her, stretching out her hands so that she could hide in a larger area.

"Hahaha, little girl, it's rare to come to the vegetable market." The boss joked with a smile while killing the fish. Liang Lei's dress and soft and cute temperament, walking in the vegetable market, it is really difficult for people not to notice it.

"Hmm." Hiding behind Yang Chen, she whispered, and then couldn't help but poke out half of her head from his shoulder, and saw that the boss was digging out the fish's belly, and quickly retracted it.

Hurriedly checked out and took away the fish, and specially instructed the boss to put it in a black plastic bag, for fear that Liang Lei would see it halfway, and the two came to the vegetable and fruit stall again.

Looking at Yang Chen's carefully selected expression, Liang Lei couldn't help but swallow his saliva, how could he distinguish between good and bad? But after all, I was embarrassed to ask, it was too embarrassing, so I just stood quietly on the side, watching him inquire, counter-offer, select, and settle the bill, all in one go. Suddenly I found that compared to him, I was simply an idiot.

"Yang Chen, I really admire you now." Walking beside him, I saw him carrying fruits and vegetables in large bags. It turns out that the hands that can play the piano so beautifully, and they can also shuttle freely between the fireworks, how can people not envy them.

"What does not kill you will make you strong. I also honed it slowly, and now I can live a good life. Yang Chen didn't have too many ideas, after all, he was used to it.

didn't answer again, and walked silently behind him.

"Are you alone in your house today?" Walking to the fork, he went to Yang Chen's house and returned to his grandfather's house.

"Yes, I'm alone." Yang Chen still smiled and nodded.

"That'...... Is it okay for me to go to your house to play? For some reason, the boy in front of me was suddenly full of curiosity, and he seemed to live a completely different life from himself.

"Dangdangdang...... Of course. The boy's face was red again, and he didn't expect her to make such a request.

"Well, let's go, then."

I took out my phone again, and if I didn't go back to eat at noon, I still had to tell my father.

"Hey, Dad, I'm not going back at noon. Eating out with classmates. Heck, I've been at home every day since I came back, and I've finally met my classmates, so I'm just going to play outside. You ask mom to answer the phone. Hey, Mom. Tell your husband about it, I'm a college student, and it's so verbose to play with my classmates outside. Well, got it, I'll be back sooner. Okay, it will, rest assured. Bye. ”

Yang Chen quietly listened to Liang Lei on the phone, listened to her coquettishness to her parents, and when she was excited, she stopped and stomped her feet on the spot.

Looking up at the blue sky, the weather today is very good, the sun is shining, and it makes people warm. A picture suddenly flashed in my mind, that she, where are you......
