Jing Yun looked at him with bright eyes, and he suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment, not because of shyness, but because she felt that her eyes were too cloudy, and she was a little ashamed of herself when she encountered such a pure gaze. Yes, the mundane world had already cast dust on his soul, and he feared that his look would be learned badly, so he looked out again and looked no longer at her. She was as well-behaved as she said, and did not writhe uneasily in his arms, and this little girl could be regarded as having a good temper.

Not long had passed, and the third aunt called them back to the house to eat, the meal was not big fish and meat, only a few small dishes with the ingredients he brought, which was the product of the small field in the garden. A long hoe was embedded in the soft earth, and it was thought that there was unfinished work.

"A-Ning, I didn't say you, you should know where the key to my house is, and it won't blow the cold wind when you enter the house earlier, your third uncle's virtue hasn't changed for more than ten years, so he likes to put a stinky shoe by the windowsill, and then stuff the key inside. The next time you come, you don't have to wait like this, just go straight to the door, treat this place as your own home, you, I'm still at ease..."The third aunt said it sincerely, she really regarded Yining as her own child, in the days when she didn't get Jingyun, her love for the junior should really be completely on him, even now this emotion has not changed at all, but now she thinks more, but she has no other energy to care.

"Yuhua, don't see outside, and treat this place as your own home, you also know the friendship between my family and your father, if there is any difficulty, tell Aunt Lan, if you come to the city one day and have no place to live, come to Aunt Lan, Aunt Lan welcomes you at any time, Jingyun also likes you very much..."

The third aunt walked into the inner room with Jingyun in her arms, he also said goodbye and was walking to the hospital.

"Yuhua, but you have to look at A-Ning, walk slower on the road, there are more cars..."The third aunt's voice bypassed the small pavilion and clearly reached their ears, he was surprised that the effect of this echo was only because of the depth, so he didn't pull his throat and replied, "No, I still have to look at her!" Yuhua didn't agree, he just thought it was funny, his temperament was still like this, and he regained some cheerful childlike personality from time to time.

The car was jammed as the third aunt said, and in front of him was the blackened Great Wall of steel, as well as the dense but disorderly pedestrians like ants, he crouched on the railing of the overpass and looked into the distance, and the dull atmosphere suppressed his heart. There is no off-season in the hospital, and in this alternating and changeable weather, there are more people who are sick, and headache and brain fever are not trivial. His poor mother was lying in a secluded place, and these days she didn't have the money to stay in a clean ward, so she had to talk to a few patients in a low building and repeat the topic many times.

His eldest sister was talking to the little nurse who came to visit at the entrance of the stairs, and did not find the two people who came, she was doing the act of stuffing red envelopes, the little nurse pushed and did not accept it, only said the hospital regulations or something, and the tone was slightly soothing and calm, as if she had experienced a similar situation and knew how to refuse the kindness of the patient's family.

He couldn't make a sound, so he had to silently observe the ending, because the situation after he went was bound to be more complicated, and it was difficult for him to make a decent statement from it, but his mood was uncertain, and when he was thick, he actually pinched Yuhua in pain, and the short cry clearly came to the two who were still concentrating.

"A-Ning, when did you arrive, why didn't you inform my sister...", she retracted, trying to regain her calm expression, and carried the red envelope behind her. The nurse got the opportunity, said a few words and left in a hurry, he didn't have the heart to blame, but his born sense of justice disappeared at the moment, so he only responded, "Sister, we just arrived, I'll go to see my mother first, you can greet Yuhua, you haven't seen each other for a long time, there should be a lot to say, I won't bother you to catch up." ”

"Okay, sister listen to you, go into the house quickly, the innermost rightmost room is, you have to watch and walk, the light is not good..."

There were a lot of people living in the corridor, and there were even iron beds occupying them, but they were not noisy, but whispered to each other, talking about something to come, and he stared at the spittoons on the ground, lest he accidentally overturn them, and after a detour, he finally arrived at his mother's residence.

The door was not closed, the smell of disinfectant was leaking, the incandescent lamp was still radiating light and heat, warming the dark space, and there was a half-awake old man lying on the bed, which was his mother. His mother was old, her hair was half gray, and the uneven color made him feel very painful, he took the lunch box in his hand, split it, and put it on the cabinet next to the bed, "Mom, get up and eat..."

Yellow tears flowed from the corners of her trembling eyes, she glanced at it, turned sideways, and spoke for a long time, "Ning'er, you're here, let Mom see that you've lost weight..." But he couldn't help crying, only said, "Mom, it's lunch, it's time to eat, the local chicken stew soup I brought you from my hometown, you can eat more today, I made it myself." ”

"Okay, I'll eat more, let me see if your skills have improved, and if you can get a daughter-in-law in the future." The mother cheered up and made a joke to him, he would never pick up this topic on weekdays, he would always say, it was still early, but today he said, "You will know if you taste it, your son is not as unbearable as you say, and the daughter-in-law can still find it." "In this way, I am happy, but I don't know how long it will be, and I can't see it." "You can see it, you can see it, when you are well, when I finish my studies, in a few years, I will personally bring her back to show you..."

"Mom, don't worry about it, these things are not yet accurate, your son is not a prophet, and he can't predict the future..." He was chatting with his mother, but he didn't notice a sweaty woman standing in front of the door.

"Gu Fang, ah, how long have you been standing at the door, come in and sit!" He wanted to call him a more affectionate name, but his mother was on his side, so he had to be a little scruples, because he was not far away from revealing his emotions, so he could only compromise the warm greeting.

I saw Gu Fang wearing a black and red plaid jacket and trousers, tied a bunch of pigtails, and walked in with a smile. He placed the basket on the bedside and pulled out a small stool from under the bed and sat down.

"Aunt Mei, I'm coming to see you again, I brought you a fruit basket, this is not made by the vendor, I picked it myself, I'll peel it for you to eat later."

"Alas, Aunt Mei understands it, I'll let this stinky boy peel it later, you take a break first, you must be tired, look at the sweat on your face, wipe it, my handkerchief is in the cabinet bag, you can take it yourself."

"Well, thank you, Aunt Mei!"

"Aunt Mei has to thank you for coming to see me, if you like it, I'll give it to you, I have two more."

"Then what's the point, I—" She was about to refuse, but her mother interrupted her.

"I've heard a saying, it's called 'the elder gives, don't dare to resign', it should be this meaning, you accept it, just take it as Aunt Mei's thank you gift, thank you for taking care of you these days, A-Ning, you can play with Xiaofang for a while, I have to sleep, this person is easy to get sleepy as soon as he gets old."

"Okay, I'll take her out to breathe!" He had also been a wooden stake for a long time, and when his mother mentioned him, it was like being suddenly asked by a teacher, and he was a little frightened and a little excited.

The two of them tacitly got up and walked to the door, and then asked each other in unison, but after all, it was Gu Fang who took the lead, "Brother Aning, you have lost weight, you have been okay in the past few months, don't think too much about it, otherwise you will get old!" "Ahh Where am I thin, I've eaten so well these days, I'm still worried about getting fat! He pinched his face again and pretended to think deeply. It is said that lovesickness makes people old, it seems that you are changing your tricks to praise yourself! ”

"Okay, how can people praise themselves, it's just that you think too much." Her face flushed slightly, and there was a flash of shyness for a moment.

"Well, I heard that you still have a childhood sweetheart, don't you want me to meet her, I want to meet this woman who was praised by Sister Tang Ping as having nothing in the sky and on the earth, I want to study!" He was slightly surprised, this passage was the only exit, and it seemed that he had not yet met her words.

"Sister Yuhua, hello! I am Gu Fang, Gu of Gu Cheng, fragrant Fang! As she spoke, she held Yuhua with both hands.

"Hello, Gu Fang! I am Shu Yuhua, comfortable Shu, beautiful jade, Chinese Hua! She immediately began to respond enthusiastically.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not suitable, Tang Ping suddenly gave Yining an inquiring look, and then turned around and disappeared into the dark corridor, he shuddered, as if he expected the upcoming investigation, but he still had to let the two in front of him, he couldn't see the victory or loss of this war without gunpowder smoke anyway, so he had to stand quietly and wait for the summons.

This is not a sign of incompetence, if you see two women discussing or even arguing, you must not have any verbal intervention, otherwise you will face multiple attacks, and this kind of consequence is something that no one wants to experience.

So, he looked at the two people who were supposed to be strangers, and suddenly established a bridge of friendship, and intimately held the little hand, showing a smile. He still couldn't comprehend the violent chemistry, and he thought that even the two people he knew each other should never have met for the first time, but the truth told him that it was more mysterious than love at first sight.

"Brother Aning, let's go, take us out for a walk, you have to be a guide today!" Gu Fang squeezed his eyes at him.

"Brother Aning, I have to thank you today, I have another good friend, I am very happy!" Yuhua Guo was as happy as she said, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with the taste of Xinfu.

She has also been lonely for a long time, he thought about the scene of Yuhua outside, and all kinds of plots flashed in his mind, and in an instant, he gave Yuhua more love, what a poor woman!

"Okay, I'll take you to Zhuan Yuhu Garden today, I'll take everything you want to eat and drink, just have fun!" His heart was relieved, and he let out a bold remark.

"Okay, but you said it!" Gu Fang snickered slyly, hugged Yuhua's waist and hit it again, as if she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it.

"Ahh No, no! Yuhua shook her head vigorously, clearly meaning to be self-sufficient.

"Manly man, I don't regret what I said, I don't believe you two girls, can you still eat me poor? Hum! He responded to Gu Fang's provocation and put on a broad look.

"Wow, I want five skewers of rock sugar gourd!" Gu Fang counted a palm and began to ask for the price, "Xiaoyu, how many skewers can you eat?" She asked in a low voice. A skewer, I'll eat a bunch..."Yuhua's voice was smaller than hers.

"Okay, we'll have eight strings! Do you think it's okay? ”

"I think eight skewers are still missing, let's buy a tree, we want to eat a few skewers and take a few skewers, and sell the rest, if you really can't sell it, give it to the children to eat, now you are satisfied!"

"Satisfied, satisfied! Don't cry when the time comes! Gu Fang was so happy that she almost jumped up, if she hadn't been holding Yuhua's hand, she would have galloped out like a wild horse at this moment.

"Qingge'er spread in all directions, Yaoqin'er painted the makeup, and asked the messenger bird from Dong'er, where is the young man I read..."There are some old people singing on the top of the teahouse on the side of the Jade Pot Garden, they are playing and singing the tune of the minority, and they are not affected by the group of voice seekers who stop and watch downstairs.

"Brother Aning, this song is so good! It's much better than my nonsense, and I want to learn more if I have the chance. Yuhua's eyes lit up with stars, and she seemed extremely interested in this melodious tune.

"Well, I can't say anything, but I always think it's good, I only hear the sound of erhu, and I don't know if there's anything else." Gu Fang also raised his head.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I don't have a talent for music or anything like that, otherwise after learning well, I can still add some music to your dance!" He sighed.

Gu Fang and Yuhua are both good at singing and dancing, although they are not up to the professional level, but they are serious and have the appeal of not losing others, he has seen, experienced, and praised.

"Okay, do you want to go in and play, what are you doing just standing at the door, go, go first, and you'll have a chance to listen to it later." He forcibly pulled the two of them out of this terrible influence, because he knew that the status of Qu Gao and Widow was an existence that they were far beyond the reach of now, and they were only lucky enough to leave some good things in their memories.

The Jade Pot Garden is not well-known in the city, because there are many gardens that are older and more expansive than it, and it is just a small lake park formed by artificially intercepting tributaries from the mountain, which is the closest to the third uncle's home.

The Jade Pot Garden is a free park that does not require a ticket, and its operation is only done by renting stalls in the park, so it is more accessible and lively.

After a while, the three of them found a small shop to paint statues and sat down. The piles of white lime made it difficult for them to choose, so after the recommendation of the store manager, the three of them chose the same statue in order to compare the advantages and disadvantages, and then found the corresponding album and began their own creation.

Sitting on the small stool, they held their breath, and from time to time they bit the shaft of their pens and began to think about how to do better, but he still could not compete with the girl's meticulousness, and even if he chose the most suitable color scheme, he also created a strange appearance of scattered stars and speckled spots from trembling hands.

"Alas, I can't compare to you girls' ingenuity, look at it, even I think I'm ugly, alas!" He sighed again.

"I think it's quite chic, not like what I do in a decent way, it's very good, innovative, and brilliant!" Gu Fang hurriedly relieved, but her wording was playful, causing Yi Ning to laugh, but he also felt straightforward and fast, and he didn't care about the multifaceted nature of the words.

"Well, I think, as long as you make it yourself, where is the difference between beauty and ugliness!" Yuhua took out her gray work, raised it to her chest and showed it to the two, she doesn't know how to mix colors, there are gradient unevenness in many places, but it is probably painted in a standardized way, and it can be regarded as a good work.

So he wrapped their respective works in a foam gift box, put them all in his backpack, and then began to play again.

The stall owner is a kind old man, holding a blackened cigarette stick and smoking leaf cigarettes, the taste is very familiar, and even the action of the mouth is very similar to Yining's deceased grandfather. His heart moved, so he took out the money to take care of his business, "Yuhua, Ah Fang, come here, turn sugar!" The two of them quickly arrived from the kite shop.

Sugar painting is something they loved very much when they were young, and it is also called turning sugar. Just because this way of selling is similar to the lottery, as long as you pay the price first, you can get a chance to turn sugar, no matter which animal you turn to, he will quickly stage a vivid show on the white slate stone.

In front of the stall is a wooden turntable, the space in the turntable is divided into zodiac signs and other interesting animals, and those exquisite three-dimensional things inserted in the sugar tree require more money in exchange, the plane and three-dimensional technology are not at the same level, so such a price is also reasonable.

Yuhua turned to a sheep, Yining turned to a butterfly, and Gu Fang's luck was the best, and he turned to a phoenix. The old man quickly drew the two of them, pressed them tightly with a bamboo skewer and handed them to them, and Gu Fang's phoenix took a lot of time, which is not as shoddy as the current one, although the phoenix will be reduced to food sooner or later, but its gorgeous appearance does prolong the time for it to survive, Gu Fang seems to have deliberately used it to show off, as if advertising to the old man.

There are very few boats in the Jade Lake, just because it can't accommodate too many boats in the first place. There are many families playing on their sides, and the combination of parents and children is rare at this moment. The fish in the lake are very active, and because they exist in the scenic area, many people feed them, so they do not have to hibernate for the whole season. Gu Fang was not afraid of the cold of the water, frolicked with the water at the stern of the boat, and pulled Yuhua by the way, discussing the life of the fish with her, but poor him had to chat with the boatman at the helm about the past of the rivers and lakes.

Sailing to the small pier on the other side, the cruise trip was considered to be over, they chose this kind of short trip to the other shore by people, just because it was to save money, this is still Yuhua's consideration, but she only said to save time, so that there are many other things.

After all, they are the rock sugar gourd that they have eaten as they wish, and they also share the rest to those children who are jumping and energetic, earning a piece of cheers and thanks, and the convenience of others, their own convenient experience is rare, they are also infected by this group of innocent children, joined the cheerful hand dance, and he can only watch and experience the joy of joy by them, he still can't let go.

He took the three strings of sugar gourds in his hand and ate them in the small pavilion by himself, and after a long time, he was so sour that he had a toothache, so he went to the small shop to buy water, and he suddenly felt that there was a problem with his stomach, and he disturbed for a while. When he was about to rush back immediately, he thought that there were three of them, so he took a bag and added two more bottles of water.

"Yuhua, Ah Fang! Where have you been? He saw no sign of the two men, the cheerful children had disappeared, the sun had set on the hill, dusk had come, and the road was full of people packing their bags.

He only felt that the two of them were playing tricks on him, deliberately running to a no-man's corner to see his jokes, so he put away his anxious posture and examined every corner with a sharp gaze, but he did not find them even though he threatened them. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his chaotic pace dominated his actions, and it seemed that a hot blood rushed to his brain, making him crazy and losing his mind, he felt that he had lost them, he even thought that there was a group of murderous abductors who took the two of them captive, there was such bad news in the city, he couldn't bear it for a while, did they really suffer bad luck?

He couldn't, helpless, and helpless, just as he was hesitating whether to call the police, a familiar cry suddenly sounded in his ears, "Brother Aning, I've been waiting for you here, I've been waiting here for a long time!" Yuhua held a pottery cup and stood quietly in the small pavilion. His heart was like a piece of iron that had just been forged from a furnace soaked in water, and it quickly calmed its agitation.

It's just that he didn't see Gu Fang, so he asked, "Yuhua, why are you here alone, Ah Fang, where did she go?" ”

"I knew you would ask about her as soon as you came, she asked me to tell you, she secretly ran back, so that you don't complain about her and say goodbye, this is a gift she asked me to give to you on my behalf, well, take it first." Yuhua pouted, as if she had expected this.

Yuhua naturally wouldn't tell him Gu Fang's whisper with her, but just remembered her entrustment to take good care of this careless him.

He took the cup, felt a heaviness, took out a bottle of water from the bag and handed it to Yuhua, "If you eat too much sugar gourd, you have to be a little sour, you haven't drunk water for so long, you should be thirsty, take it." Yuhua took it and didn't drink it, but held it in her hand and was silent, she was sad.

The bag still contained an unopened bottle of water, and its owner was not here at the moment, swaying like a homeless child in a dimly lit cage.

He never thought that the two of them would meet so early, nor did he think that the joy of this meeting would only be less than half a day.

Under the sunset, the laughter and laughter that should have been the three of them together turned into the silence of the two, and the cold wind swirled around the dust that swept away the ground, mercilessly laughing at the two sad people.
