Chapter 40: I Have Something to Say
The rosary didn't dare to come out, and he couldn't help but stroke his forehead when he heard the words.
Rushing Rain quietly changed his shoes into the house and put his things on the table in the living room, but he was thinking about the words in his heart.
"What's going on?" Chen Yuyao asked her.
It must be to save the rosary first.
"She came back from Nanjing and wanted to stay with me for a few days." Rushing Rain didn't blush and weaved lies in front of her face, "These two have been alumni with us since junior high school. The college entrance examination list has been released, and they all did well...... So, ask them to come to your home and ask them for advice on how to learn. She looked at Chen Yuyao, "Didn't you say that the rent was collected at one time after graduation......" A worried look appeared on her face, "Brother Yuyao, what are you doing here now?" ā
The corners of Chen Yuyao's mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered a few times in his heart, and finally said with restraint: "I'll take a look...... See if you've messed around in the house. When it came to "messing around", his face was ugly, and the S City dialect was also spoken, "Don't think there really is!" ā
Seeing that he had claimed the identity of the "landlord", Zhai Yi couldn't help but say, "Inviting a friend to sit at home is a 'mess'?" ā
Chen Yuyao didn't answer, his eyes glanced at the two of them, and his words were still greeted by the torrential rain, "Little Niangyu's family, there are no adults at home, just let the boys come to the house, it's 'messing around'!" ā
"I was wrong." Rushing rain doesn't pick this time to have a hard time with Chen Yuyao, "It's only this once, not an example." Then she looked at Chen Yuyao silently.
"What for?" Chen Yuyao was inexplicably surprised by her, and then looked around his eyes, and was furious: "Could it be that you want to drive me away?" In the end, it was a tone of disbelief.
"...... Chen," the rosary swallowed, "Mr. Chen, I promise that they will eat a meal and leave." ā
"What about you?"
"Chen Yuyao!" Torrential rain stopped him, "If she doesn't leave, she'll stay with me for a week." ā
"A week ......" Chen Yuyao sneered, "Isn't she already ......"
"If you don't live, you won't live!" Lu Jian said suddenly, he pulled Gu Nianzhu: "Everyone has issued a 'guest eviction order', what are you still doing here?" Let's go. After a pause, he added, "If you don't want to go home, then go to my house for two days." ā
Rushing Yu looked at Chen Yuyao and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" ā
Lu Jian's words were right in Chen Yuyao's arms. He said nothing and sat back on the couch.
"Wait a minute, I'll collect something." The rosary said to Lu Jian.
"I'll help you." It's going to be a little faster. Lu Jian turned around and said to Zhai Yi, "You wait for us." With that, he followed the rosary into the back room.
There were only three people left in the living room: Zhai Yi, Rushing Rain and Chen Yuyao.
A fatalistic setting.
"Torrential rain......" Zhai Yi opened his mouth first, "If you want to move out from here, I will help you." ā
Chen Yuyao smoked seven tricks, but his face was not obvious, and he said with a smile: "She is not going anywhere." ā
Rushing rain slowly walked back to the table, picked up all the things he had bought and walked to the refrigerator, opened the freezer, and put them in the same way. In the end, she handed the remaining bag of mung bean soup to Zhai Yi, "Let's go out at noon to eat 'Peach Blossom Spring'." ā
She was really angry with Chen Yuyao. No matter how displeased he was, he could have taken his anger out on her, but he shouldn't have treated the guests she invited to her house like this.
"Okay." Zhai Yi agreed, and took the mung bean soup on the other hand, and the lines on his face became much softer.
Chen Yuyao stood up, "Xiaoyu." He blocked her way. Zhai Yi glared angrily, his tolerance limit was about to run out.
"Brother Yuyao, you can't go too far." Torrential Rain looked up and looked calm, "If you hadn't been so mean to my friends just now, I wouldn't have had to go out to eat with them. Now, just nod your head, they won't stay here anymore. ā
"I ......" A look of remorse flashed in Chen Yuyao's eyes, and in the face of the rushing rain, there was resentment in his eyes, he knew that if he continued to force it, the rapid rain would probably leave.
Never mind. He is not used to watching the backs of others go away, especially the people he cares about very much. He preferred to go first.
So he turned to the entrance, grabbed the car keys and said, "Remember to come back early." ā
Rushing Rain watched his figure disappear into the doorway, stunned in place.
"Torrential rain ......," Zhai Yi called her, "Let's go too, shall we?" ā
She looked back and found that the rosary and Lu Jian had already dragged out the suitcase they had packed.
"I'm sorry." Rushing Rain lowered his head sadly and apologized to everyone.
The rosary stepped forward and hugged her, "It's okay." Then he whispered in her ear, "Thank you very much." ā
"It's almost noon, let's have a meal together." Zhai Yi said to Lu Jian.
Lu Jian looked at the rosary, and then said, "It's not convenient to drag such a big box." Forget it. ā
"Speaking of which, the four of us haven't eaten together yet." The rosary said that she was coquettish with Lu Jian, "Master Lu, just give face, okay?" ā
Lu Jian looked at her helplessly, "I really don't know, am I your brother or brother?" ā
"We're only four months away." "And, you're a senior." ā
Lu Jian rolled his eyes, "You're embarrassed to say it." "The attitude has softened significantly.
Zhai Yi patted his arm, "That's agreed?" ā
"Let's go." Rosary said. She took out the parasol from her bag and raised it, "Torrential rain, I'll fight with Lu Jian." You and Zhai Yi have a fight. ā
"Huh?" Torrential Rain was stunned.
Why?
"You don't know-" Rosary glanced at Lu Jian, revealing his old secrets, "Remember when I told you that he likes to help girls fan the most?" Because his purpose is to 'fight umbrellas' with those girls, he wants to play parasols in the summer, for fear of being called a 'sissy' (S city dialect: sissy). If you don't fight, you're afraid of getting a tan......"
"What are you afraid of tanning!" Lu Jian interrupted her cousin's words, "It's because the sun is really uncomfortable shining directly into the eyes!" ā
"Zhai Yi, what about you?" Rushing rain looked at Zhai Yi, his skin was also very white.
"If the sun is big, I'll have an umbrella." Zhai Yi looked indifferent, "You can use an umbrella when it rains, but you can't go out of the sun." ā
"Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are a 'female and female'?" The rosary asked.
"It's a friend, I definitely wouldn't say that." Zhai Yi said, "If it's not a friend, why should I care." ā
These words made Lu Jian look at him with admiration - "Zhai Yi, who said that Shanghainese people are soft and glutinous and very bloody." ā
"What Shanghainese!" Zhai Yi gave him a blank look, "My ancestral home is in S City." ā
Prayer beads glanced at Lu Jian and laughed.
Rushing Rain also had a smile on his lips, and asked coldly, "Then you brought an umbrella when you went out, right?" ā
"Of course......" Seeing that the word "belt" was about to be spoken, Zhai Yi's hand held the strap of the backpack and smiled apologetically, "I didn't bring it, I was in too much of a hurry when I went out." ā
"Let's fight the umbrella, let's fight the umbrella." Rosary persuaded, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at Zhai Yi and Lu Jian: "It's too ...... for you to let them fight umbrellas That's what ......" she forced a smile.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Lu Jian's eyes, and then he said with a straight face: "Gu Nianzhu, please put away those messy reveries in your mind." ā
The four of them "joined the umbrella" in pairs and went to the "Peach Blossom Spring", but the result was full.
The boss said that it only took half an hour to wait, and the simple boys and girls believed it. It was too hot, and Torrential Rain decided to sit down and wait, considering that the rosary was weak.
Zhai Yi opened the mint water and poured it into the ingredients, and in Lu Jian's envious eyes, he solved the mung bean soup one by one.
As a result, half an hour and half an hour, seeing that lunch had become afternoon tea, Lu Jian once again proposed to change places.
"Let's drink mutton soup." Lu Jian said, "It's just right to drink mutton soup at this time." ā
There is a saying in S City that "a bowl of soup for a sheep, no need to prescribe medicine".
Drinking sheep soup on dog days is just right to cure winter diseases and summer treatments.
Torrential rain also felt feasible.
Then Lu Jian said, "If you want to eat, you have to go to the library town to eat." "I didn't see that he was a gourmand.
"Can you think about your dying sister and her friends?" The rosary said angrily.
"Okay." Lu Jian gave up the pursuit of a foodie and made a compromise.
In the end, a few people found a nearby "book mutton". It was nearly two o'clock, so there was no one in the store.
Although the mutton in S City is not ranked on the Chinese mutton recipe, the mutton soup cooked by the people of S City is one of the four major mutton soups in the country.
Today's "Tibetan mutton" is well-known throughout the country. It is a special product of the book collection town of S City, and it has created the method of roasting mutton in fir barrels. Fresh mutton is put into a cedar barrel and boiled for two hours, the aroma is rich, the meat is crispy but not rotten, and the taste is fresh but not greasy.
"Do you know the allusion to the mutton in the book?" As soon as he arrived at the store, Lu Jian ordered a lamb cake, and then ordered four lamb soups.
"Tell me about it." Zhai Yi asked, "In Mandarin, 'Tibet' reads 'ca'."
g'or'za
gāļ¼ ā
The pronunciation of this word in the S dialect is 'zo'
gāć
"Of course it's 'ca
g'Ahh Lu Jian said.
When it comes to the book collection town, we have to talk about Zhu Maichen. When he was not successful, his wife Zhu Maichen's family was poor, but she liked to read. Even on the way up the mountain to chop wood, he would recite poems.
Because he was always ridiculed by his fellow villagers, he was overwhelmed, so he took care of the sheep and the books, but when someone approached, Zhu Maichen hid the books under the stones.
Later, he became an important minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, revisited his hometown, and his ex-wife came to ask for reunion. Therefore, two idioms were also born: "returning home" and "it is difficult to harvest after water".
The rosary shrugged, "Speaking of which, the book mutton is related to the book town. The town of Tibetan Books is related to Zhu Maichen. But the book collection mutton has little to do with Zhu Maichen. ā
"That's." The name 'Tibetan mutton' and 'Dongpo meat' are not the same thing at all. Lu Jian said.
She looked at Zhai Yi and Rushing Rain opposite, "We 'Lu Xizhi' are very interested in eating. ā
"I don't get tired of eating, and I don't get tired of it." Lu Jian said. "Are there any people here who are not particular about eating?"
Knowing how to eat is the common nature of the people in S City.
Zhai Yi and Rushing Rain looked at each other and smiled.
"But, you're not as good at it." Zhai Yi said.
"'Not only can't you do things casually, but you can't eat casually.'" Rushing Rain quoted the words of "Mr. Suiyuan" Yuan Mei, "I think Lu Jian is very good." ā
"As soon as you hear it, you are a fellow believer." Lu Jian hurriedly poured a glass of water for Rushing Rain. He touched the cup, "This water is not hot!" ā
The rosary said, "Yo, it's so fateful." She picked up a piece of mutton cake and put it into the bowl, "Why don't you get along?" ā
Lu Jian glared at her, then glanced at Zhai Yi, and then said with a smile: "Good proposal." Torrential rain, when you finish the exam by this time next year, if you want to have this meaning, let's have a relationship and see if it's okay? ā
Zhai Yi lowered his eyelids and casually tore the sterilized tableware packaging bag thrown on the table.
Torrential rain didn't take it seriously, and was about to answer with a faint smile, when the mutton soup was served at this time.
"Starving!" The initiator took his own bowl, picked up the vinegar and added it to the soup, and immediately put the topic out of the clouds.
Lu Jian got up and went to change the pot of hot water, and re-scalded the chopsticks of several people.
Seeing that there was not much paper left in the napel bag on the table, Rushing Rain turned around and took the one from the adjacent table and lowered his head to open it.
Zhai Yi paused, took a piece of cabbage and ate it slowly.
After eating the mutton soup, it was already three o'clock. Lu Jian's evaluation of this mutton soup is "unsatisfactory". He hailed a taxi on the side of the road, sat in with the rosary, and "went first." ā
Zhai Yi waved to him, and Rushing Yu looked at the rosary sitting inside, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and admonished, "Okay." ā
Lu Jian smiled, "How can it be like parting with life and death." Let's go. ā
After the taxi started, Zhai Yi asked Rushing Rain, "Are you ...... What to do? He should have asked, "How are you going back?" or "I'll send you back," but he swallowed back at the thought of the man he had seen in the drowning drawing-room.
Torrential Rain didn't want to go back for the time being, so she said, "I'll just walk back in a while." It's not far away. After a moment, she asked Zhai Yi rhetorically, "What about you?" ā
"I'm ......", Zhai Yi suddenly seemed to muster up courage, "If you don't want to go back, let's go for a walk together." As if his heart was weak, he added, "just eat less." ā
"Okay." Torrential Rain nodded.
