Body 035 Ancient and Modern Teahouses
"It's weird." An Ning got up and got dressed while shaking her head and frowning, as if she was reminiscing about something.
"What's wrong?"
I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, combing my hair.
When I woke up in the morning, the pervert was gone, and I don't know where he went, but probably he went back to the underworld.
I looked in the mirror and saw An Ning with a sad face, holding her hair with both hands, and couldn't help but ask.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at me, her eyes staring at me as if she wanted to see me out of a hole.
"Last night...... Did you do something with your husband? β
I suddenly felt all the blood in my body rush to the top of my head, my face felt hot and hot, my hand holding the comb stopped, and I coughed several times, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She saw it last night? Isn't she asleep...... Could it be that she is pretending to be asleep? I don't look like it.
I laughed dryly and asked, "What did you do?" Just sleep, what else can I do. β
An Ning grabbed her hair and got up, her hair was scratched by her unkempt, like a chicken nest, she squinted, sniffed twice, and said, "No, I did see it, you and your husband are making love, but ...... I'm not so sure. β
She approached me, her whole face almost touching mine, she raised her eyebrows, looked at me carefully, and only sighed for a while, her tone was puzzled: "I don't know if it's a dream, or if it's real." β
My nerves tensed all the time, trying to make my face look less stiff, for fear of being caught by her, turned to wash, deliberately diverted the subject.
"You must be drowsy, otherwise how could you have such a dream, is it lonely? Do you want me to find you a boyfriend? β
I smeared facial cleanser on my face, squinted and raised my eyebrows at her, teasing with a smile, An Ning glared at me, and snorted twice: "I don't want a boyfriend!" It's enough to have you! β
"Wow."
I rubbed my arms together to soothe the goosebumps that had gotten all over my body, and washed the foam off my face to make room for peace.
Covering my cheeks, I walked over to the small sofa and sat down, waiting for An Ning to wash up.
At this time, I thought that Yang Yi gave me a business card last night, so that if I was free today, I could go to him.
With my hand in my pocket, a piece of stiff paper was clamped in a very tight pocket, and I pulled it out and looked at it.
Ancient and modern teahouses.
If this business card hadn't been handed to me by Yang Yi, I would have thought it was a small advertisement for this teahouse.
The business card also says the location and location of the teahouse, as well as the landline phone number in the store and the mobile phone number of the store manager.
As soon as I saw the word "teahouse", I thought of the old couple I saw yesterday.
They were standing at the door of a teahouse, communicating with a middle-aged man, and An Ning and I were at a certain distance from them, so I didn't notice the sign and name of the teahouse.
"An Ning, will you go to a place with me later?"
I craned my neck and shouted at An Ning in the bathroom, asking for her opinion.
She was wearing a headscarf, holding a puff in her hand to apply her makeup, poking her head out of the bathroom, and the movements of her hands were not idle.
"Where to go? Aren't you going to the palace district today? β
I shook my head, flicked the business card on my finger at her, and said, "Don't go there, I'll go to the palace area tomorrow, and I'll go to the teahouse later." β
"Huh?"
She shook her hand holding the lipstick and looked at me in disbelief.
Why go to a teahouse?
I picked up my bag and looked like I was ready to go, urging her, "Hurry up, let's go down for breakfast and leave." β
An Ning quickened the movement of her hand, with doubts on her face, I knew that she didn't quite understand why I went to the teahouse, but what happened last night ...... I'd better not tell her for the time being.
β¦β¦
When An Ning and I stood on the familiar snack street and stood in front of the ancient and modern teahouses, we both stopped.
I looked at this familiar faΓ§ade, and sure enough, it was the place where I saw the old couple and the middle-aged man yesterday.
An Ning's memory is very good, she also recognized this teahouse at once, pointed her finger, and said in surprise: "This is not ......"
I nodded, without further explanation, and walked towards the door, where An Ning glanced at me and followed.
The air conditioning was turned on in the teahouse, but it was not very big, it was a little stuffy, there was a faint smell of tea in it, with a hint of warm atmosphere, the door was slightly hidden, the customers in the store were sitting on chairs woven with bamboo and rattan, whispering, and in the corner of the reception hall, in a radio that did not look very new, there was a flow of antique music.
"Welcome."
When the middle-aged man saw us coming in, he immediately greeted us and received us.
I looked around, but I didn't see Yang Yi.
"How many?"
The middle-aged man asked enthusiastically, in a voice that was neither low nor high, enough for me to hear, and at the same time not to make other customers feel noisy.
"I'm looking for someone."
I opened my mouth to reply, subconsciously glancing at his appearance, my eyes widening slightly.
This middle-aged man is really similar to Yang Yi in appearance.
I handed him the business card in my hand, and he obviously didn't expect me to make this move and took the card.
"I'm looking for Yang Yi."
He was stunned, silent, did not speak, looked at me with a little suspicious eyes, I smiled at him: "Yang Yi asked me to come to him today." β
Before the middle-aged man could speak, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Dad, grandparents have something to call you."
Yang Yi wore a bright yellow T-shirt with a large-mouthed monkey, a western short underneath, flip-flops on his feet, grabbed his hair in the shape of a chicken nest, and walked over yawning.
When I saw him like this, I almost choked on my own saliva.
This contrast is a bit too great! When I saw him yesterday, he was still a neat white-faced boy, what is the matter with the appearance of him who has just woken up......
The bad water in my stomach began to roll, and I noticed that he hadn't noticed my presence yet, so I reached out and greeted him.
"Yang Yi, it's me!"
Yang Yi's body froze, the hand holding his hair suddenly stiffened on his head, his head was like a robot, looking towards me one by one, when he saw me, his face changed instantly! I saw a flush rushing towards his face at breakneck speed!
"Wang ......" before he called out the word, I knew what he wanted to call me, and quickly gave him a look, and he also covered his mouth with his hands knowingly.
A look named "embarrassed" appeared on his face, Yang Yi's eyes didn't dare to look at me, just pointed to the door behind the counter, and whispered, "You guys should come in together." β
I smiled and nodded at the middle-aged man, and Yang Yi's address to him confirmed what I was thinking.
"Hello Uncle Yang."
Uncle Yang's face also showed a kind smile: "You are friends with Xiao Yi, right?" Let's come in together. β
β¦β¦
Before entering the door, Uncle Yang also instructed the clerk to work, and An Ning and I walked towards the house.
Behind the door was a clean hallway, with wooden floors on the floor, so clean and smooth that I didn't know where to start.
"No need to change your shoes, just go inside."
Uncle Yang patted me on the back and motioned for me to walk in directly, and I saw the shoe cabinet next to the door with slippers on it, but since Uncle Yang said so.
There were rooms at both ends of the corridor, some of the doors were closed, some were open, and only at the end of the room, the voice of an old couple came.
The sound alone was enough for me to distinguish who was inside.
The world is really small, the old couple who said strange things, Yang Yi, who was a yin and yang person, and this teahouse were closely linked together at this moment.
"Old man, I don't want to stay here, go back, it's not good here at all."
"Old woman, it's going to be fine with me, look at here, how beautiful it has become, how beautiful those houses are outside, you don't have to worry about the previous."
The sound of the old man humming and chirping was heard, mixed with the heavy sound of chairs dragging on the wooden floor.
"You, old man, if it weren't for you, how could our family's Xiaoyi be burdened with so many responsibilities, ah? You're embarrassed to say that history has passed, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and I'm really mad at you. β
The old woman's angry voice came to my ears, and I could see Uncle Yang smiling embarrassedly at me, a little embarrassed, more nervous.
I waved my hand and walked inside.
"Old woman, ......"
The two old men were sitting on the sofa, and the old man was holding the old woman's hand and arguing with each other.
They are like two old naughty boys, who want to fight for a win, you lose, but those two old hands are firmly held together.
Suddenly, their voices stopped, and the old man was stunned when he saw me standing at the door of the hall.
The old lady stopped her reproachful words and looked at me with cloudy eyes.
"Eh, you're not the ......," she asked, looking up at me in confusion, "little girl, why are you here, you can't come in." β
Yang Yi and Uncle Yang walked in and explained.
"Grandpa, grandma, I called them."
Le Lao suddenly became at a loss, he didn't know where to put his hands, his eyes glanced at his wife a few times, muttered a few words, his voice was very soft, but I still vaguely heard it.
"Look, it's a joke again, it's not ...... Those words just ......"
He looked at me with some concern and asked, "Did you hear it all just now?" β
I didn't want to deceive them, so I nodded, and at this time, Le Lao's face turned black, while Yang Lao made a look of "I don't know anything", his body was crooked, and he left his back to us.
"Mom, Dad."
Uncle Yang smiled bitterly, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a while.
