In winter, apart from the howling north wind and bare tree trunks, there are very few bright colors.

Chu Xi traveled all the way, and the most he saw were evergreen trees such as holly and pine, and the pedestrians were as gray as if they had been sealed by winter, and the only bright thing was about the scarf around the woman's neck......

The first day of the lunar month is Sunday, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, even if it is only five or six o'clock in the morning, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road. But because of the cold, most people hold their hands.

Chu Xi wandered slowly on the street, looking at the joyful expressions of the pedestrians, his eyes were a little wandering.

In the first few months, she used to go to bed late and wake up early, sleeping three or four hours a day. Now I have no work, no entertainment, I can only go to bed early and wake up early.

When she woke up at five o'clock, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she washed up and walked out of the hotel, and wanted to walk casually, but suddenly remembered the persimmon shop that changed the lock yesterday.

- You can go and take a look.

Walking to the bus stop, she stared at the stop sign for a while, and then she raised her feet and walked towards the persimmon shop.

It took a lot of time to walk, and by the time she got to the persimmon shop, it was almost eight o'clock. At this point in time, there was already a long queue ahead.

Chu Xi raised his eyes, looked ahead and counted, and had a count in his heart.

Just look at the grand occasion of nearly 100 people lined up in front, the persimmons should be delicious.

She calmed her mind, and just stuck behind everyone, not in a hurry, not impatient, and waiting.

After standing still for a while, a few more people lined up behind her, glancing at her from time to time. The locals are the most enthusiastic and the most able to say, and when they see you in line with their eyes, they are more willing to talk to each other.

Especially this one looks better than the movie star on the poster.

"Eh, where did you buy your scarf?"

When the voice sounded, Chu Xi felt that her sleeve was tugged, she lowered her head, and made sure that the woman dressed as a little daughter-in-law was talking to her, so in her hopeful eyes, she said succinctly, "Not for sale." ”

When he had finished speaking, he said no more.

This scarf was knitted to pass the time when she was thinking about things, and she was originally just knitting it casually, but when she put it down, she found that it was exactly the same as the one she had knitted for him in her previous life.

"Can you take it off for me to see?" The woman looked at the scarf and was very greedy, she had never seen such a pattern. "I'll look twice and see how it's knitted."

Chu Xi's voice was unfazed: "I refuse." ”

The answer is extraordinarily crisp and without hesitation.

The woman was still unwilling: "I'll just take a look, don't take it apart, don't pick up the thread." ”

Chu Xi didn't want to answer, and didn't look at her anymore, sensing the disapproving gaze of others, he was slightly distracted.

- It's really strange, she wants to see it, is she going to show her?

Condemned if you don't look?

Then please.

She was too lazy to take care of it, her expression was so indifferent that it was almost cold, and the anger she had when she first came to this era was a little faint.

No one dared to look at her with condemnation anymore.

The line in front began to shorten, and Chu Xi walked two or three steps forward with the people in front of him, still not giving much to others.

"Six pounds."

When he got closer, before the other party could ask a question, Chu Xi directly said the request, "Pack it in three parts." ”

She may not stay longer in the capital, if she is not there, she also needs a neighbor to take care of the house, this persimmon looks very good, and it is a courtesy to give a copy to the neighbors on the left and right.

Opening the small wallet with low-key luxury, Chu Xi took out a brand new piece of money and handed it over, "It's troublesome." ”

Carrying persimmons, she did not go directly to the courtyard, but asked people who looked to be about thirty years old, and after clarifying where to buy the new mattress furniture, she took a taxi, went to the place to determine what she wanted, left the deposit and address, and went to the courtyard.

In this era, most people in their thirties are married, and if you ask them to buy furniture and bedding, seven or eight times out of ten will not be disappointed.

In the end, it was exactly what she thought.

In and out of taxis, in this era, it is also an extremely luxurious thing. Chu Xi was reluctant to talk, and closed his eyes after getting into the car.

Wait until you get to your destination, give money, get out of the car, mechanical and indifferent.

After opening the door, entering the courtyard, and putting the two packets of persimmons in her hand in the living room, she went to the courtyard on the left, knocked on the door, and gave gifts.

It was a cold woman about forty years old who opened the door, and her eyes slipped around her face before revealing a just right smile and saying, "You're welcome." ”

Chu Xi smiled, said a pleasant greeting, and went back.

This woman is reluctant to communicate too much with others, there are two vertical marks between her eyebrows, polite and detached, but steady and restrained.

As it happens, she doesn't like to socialize too much.

Neighbors like this, good.

returned to the courtyard, took another bag of persimmons, and knocked on the right hand side, that is, the courtyard door of Zhou Yanmin's house.

Today, Sunday, the neighbors are all at home, and Zhou Yanmin is no exception.

She glanced at the two people in the side hall, and then at the old girlfriend who was sitting on a small stool peeling garlic for her, before she stood up and said softly, "She's here." ”

"Huh?" Qian Yun was peeling garlic while thinking about things, and was stunned when she heard this, "Who is here?" ”

"The girl you have your eye on." Zhou Yanmin glanced at the courtyard gate and turned around, "I heard movement over there just now." ”

"Then don't open the door!" Qian Yun grabbed her best friend, "I told my son to open the door!" ”

With that, he turned around and almost trotted to the side hall.

"Huaxu! Huaxu! Qian Yun lowered her voice and said hurriedly, "Go and open the door!" ”

Zhou Huaxu was stunned for a moment, looking at Qian Yun a little incredulous, "Mom, according to the distance, you are half as close as me, right?" Besides, how many times can you open the door with this skill of calling me? ”

"Stop talking, go open the door!" Qian Yun was anxious, "The girl outside is the one I told you two days ago!" ”

Before Zhou Huaxu could react, he was slapped on the arm by Qian Yun, and dragged the person away. Zhou Huaxu couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to say a few words when he turned around, when he saw his mother "snap" and closed the door of the side hall, and said earnestly to his brother Xiao Zongchen inside, "Zongchen, don't come out when you hear any movement later!" ”

If he comes out, the girls will go to see him......

Qian Yun had to admonish, "Your brother has been beating singles for so many years, I think this girl can fall in love, don't come out to stir up!" ”

Zhou Huaxu protested: "Mom, didn't I tell you? It's not like no one wants me to be single, I haven't met the right one! Besides, I don't look that shabby! ”

After this mouth, he lost a lot of money!

"You don't look good as Zong Chen!" Qian Yun scolded her son unceremoniously, "Don't admit it, it's a fact!" ”

When Zhou Huaxu heard this, he made a wooden face, rooted in the ground, and was reluctant to move.

"Get me away!" Qian Yun heard another knock on the courtyard door, and slapped her son again.

Xiao Zongchen looked at the closed door, and the wail of his brother, and sat back on the sofa with a smile.
