The boss's question made Graphite suddenly feel a little homesick.

"Hmm."

Graphite nodded slightly, as if to hide something in his heart, he habitually picked up the cigarette case again, took out a cigarette, and lit a cigarette. In many cases, for him, smoke was like an old friend everywhere, always available at his time of need, and he could summon it at any time to give him a little solace in his already dry heart.

The proprietress didn't notice it at all, her face showed a hint of envy, and she still sighed: "Oh, your mother's life is really good, your children are very promising, now you are starting to enjoy the blessings, tsk...... Good life. ”

Graphite had no choice but to cope: "Where, in fact, everyone is almost the same, nothing different." ”

When Graphite spoke, he tried to squeeze out a smile, but in the end it was a somewhat embarrassing smile on his face, and after nodding slightly to the proprietress, he quickly turned his face away, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and clicked the phone away with a slight swipe of his fingers.

The proprietress finally got interesting, and naturally saw that Graphite didn't want to talk too much.

"Well, you wait."

After saying that, the proprietress turned around and went to the kitchen.

Graphite clicked on the WeChat interface and typed a few words in a group with the name "home":

"I'm in town, I'm eating."

There are only five people in this "family" group, in addition to my mother, sister, brother-in-law, and the last one is my wife.

Graphite looked at the word "wife" and was slightly distracted.

After a while, he put the cigarette into a plastic ashtray on the table and extinguished it, then clicked on the user's remarks name, and changed the word wife in the remarks column to:

"Yu Lin"

Graphite and Yu Lin are college classmates, the two belong to the kind of love at first sight during college, Yu Lin is the kind of person who dares to love and hate with a particularly liberal personality, Graphite himself is relatively subtle, in the words of that time, it belongs to the sullen Wenqing type, but the process of their acquaintance is a little bizarre.

"I like you!"

This is the first sentence between Graphite and Yu Lin.

It was the second year of college, originally belonged to the subtle and never active graphite, that day was also a ghost, after class he walked into Yu Lin's classroom alone, walked straight to Yu Lin, moved a stool and sat opposite her, stared at her for a while, and asked her: "Are you called Yu Lin?" ”

Yu Lin was a little puzzled and blushed a little, "I am." ”

"I like you!" Graphite blurted out, and after saying that, he quickly ran away and left their class.

The students who were still in the classroom were stunned, and when Graphite turned to leave, the girls in the class who were watching the excitement screamed loudly, and at this time, Yu Lin was already blushing with shame and thick neck.

Later, after they got together, Yu Lin said during a chat:

"You know, I've actually liked you for a long time, and I remember that every time you came out of the bathhouse after playing basketball and going to the bathhouse, your hair was wet and messy,...... I remember one time when I passed by, I smelled that nice smell of soap on your body......" When Yu Lin was talking about these past events, her eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction, it was a memory of campus youth.

……

"Boss, your rabbit pot is ready."

A crisp sound pulled graphite back to reality.

It was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, and she said as she placed the rabbit pot on the table.

Melon seed face, the bridge of the nose is a little flat, the eyes are double, a bit similar to the proprietress when she was young, the eyes are bright, it looks a little ghostly, and it is good-looking, at this time, she is looking at the guest graphite with a curious look, it is obvious that graphite does not belong here at a glance, it is a person outside, and there is obviously a sense of gentleness on the body.

"Thank you."

After Graphite thanked him softly, he fell on the pot of rabbit meat in front of him, he dismantled a pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth, and the taste buds on the tip of his tongue were instantly opened by this unique taste.

"How's it taste?"

Graphite nodded slightly, but did not speak, just concentrated on savoring this long-lost taste, although the rabbit meat was a little hot to the mouth, but this feeling of pain and happiness made him flock to it.

The girl squinted her eyes and pursed her lips and snickered.

"Drink or rice?"

Graphite took a tissue from the tissue box on the table, wiped his mouth naturally, and then looked up at the girl, and said, "Rice, just give me a bowl of rice." ”

"Okay!"

Her voice was crisp and beautiful, and she turned around and went into the back room like the wind, and after a while, she brought out a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Graphite.

"Okay, thank you." Graphite thanked him, picked up the bowl of rice and began to pull.

……

He was probably hungry, of course, he may have opened the taste buds in his memory, half a pot of rabbit meat was almost wiped out by him, but he only ate one bowl of rice, and this long-lost taste suddenly brought him back to the familiar old days.

Touching his full belly, he pulled out two more tissues and wiped his mouth, and he stood up.

"Boss, check out!"

The proprietress heard the voice and walked out again.

She glanced at the table, seemed to be very satisfied, lifted her apron and wiped her hands and smiled: "Sixty-two yuan, you can give sixty." ”

Her daughter also came out from behind her, glanced at the graphite quickly, and diligently cleaned up the things on the table.

Graphite took the phone and looked left and right, pointed to a QR code on the wall, and asked, "Can you brush this?" ”

"Yes, both."

Graphite used his mobile phone to pay for the meal by scanning the QR code.

"See, got it."

"Well, I got it, I'll come back next time." The hostess was quite polite.

"Yes."

Graphite smiled and nodded to the proprietress and took the things on his table and turned around and walked out of the hotel.

……

Yanling Village is about 20 kilometers away from Meilian Town, and is located between mountains and mountains.

The off-road vehicle went out of the town, turned into a rural cement road on a fork in the town, the end of the road is Yanling Village, the village is surrounded by reckless mountains, this cement road is still built because of the national village through the project, in the past, the village people to the town can only walk out of the mountains on both feet.

After leaving the town, the two or three roads began to wind all the way up the mountain, and the mountain road winds and turns.

It was about nine o'clock in the evening.

The moon also quietly peeked out of the clouds, and the bright moonlight sprinkled between the mountains and trees, like a thin layer of snow, the empty mountains were lonely, and under the disturbance of the sound of the motor of the car and the bright headlights, some mountain birds fluttered their wings and flew up from among the trees, as if the nocturnal mountain was passing through the darkness.

Graphite lit a cigarette while driving, opened the side window, and the cold mountain breeze poured into the car at night, and he didn't feel cold, but liked this cold stimulation very much.

Gradually, my spirit relaxed a little and began to wander again......

Where there is so much spring and white snow in life, there is more firewood, rice, oil and salt of the Riba people.

After less than three years of marriage with Yu Lin, many things have changed, the words of the two have gradually decreased, and the quarrels have gradually increased. The two stumbled along the way, and the relationship was good and bad, which was nothing originally, and most couples may have lived their lives like this.

But later, Graphite found that Yu Lin had become a little abnormal.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Graphite knew that there must be something wrong with Yu Lin, and it must be a problem related to men and women, this incident made his self-esteem suffer a big blow, but he was stubborn and neither noisy nor took the initiative to ask anything, he just carefully maintained his pride and stubbornness, he wanted to see and see what kind of truth life would give.

As the so-called blessing and misfortune are not alone, this matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and later, graphite encountered a bigger blow, a thunderbolt on a sunny day! He's got brain cancer!

One night not long after, Graphite finally made up his mind, he made a pot of tea, waited quietly for Yu Lin to come home, gently helped her put away her clothes and bags, and invited her to sit down.

"Yu Lin, let's sit down and talk together, we haven't talked well for a long time."
