"Come here, let me see." Senator Ye said to me.

I walked up to him and held out my bracelet-worn left hand. He put his pipe back in his mouth.

He gently grasped my wrist, his hand as dry and rough as tree bark. "It's too big." He let go of his hand and muttered, "How can my wrist be so thin, it seems to break when it is broken, it is too thin." ”

"It's really too thin, but dancers need to go on a diet, and there's no way." Xiao Se's eyes on me were full of distress, "Ballet girls are very bitter, and grandpa knows it." ”

Senator Ye silently took a few puffs of his cigarette and knocked on his pipe again. "It's not early, let's get on the road after breakfast." He looked at my hand again, "Rest assured." If you can't be a granddaughter-in-law, be my granddaughter. ”

"Grandpa—" I was still stunned, Xiao Se had already shouted, and deep in his dark pupils, the thick and shiny liquid swirled into an incredible shape.

"I'm talking to Tong Xin, don't interject." Senator Ye unceremoniously cut him off.

Xiao Se didn't say anything more, a pair of dark eyes full of affection, shining like black gems.

"Thank you, grandpa!" I also have hot and sour eyes, almost crying, I call "grandpa" in my heart like Xiao Se, not "master".

"Alright, let's eat it." Senator Ye stopped talking and continued to smoke his leaf cigarette, with green smoke in front of him.

Xiao Se's addiction to cigarettes also came up, and he took out the cigarette case and lighter, but Senator Ye glanced at him, and he silently took it back.

The room had become quiet, save for the occasional slight clatter of chopsticks.

After breakfast, I wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiao Se rushed to work first.

In the dining room, Senator Ye and I sat quietly opposite each other, I really wanted to say a few intimate words to the old man, but I felt that I was stupid and clumsy, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Xiao Se is very good, and he is also very filial." ”

Senator Ye narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. "Later, he will come out and tell him to go to the stone Buddha shrine outside to light incense, bow down, and let the gods bless him with all the best when he goes abroad." With that, he got up from his chair and hobbled out of the dining room.

I dragged Xiao Se to the stone Buddha shrine in the courtyard outside. "Grandpa doesn't say it, but he actually cares about you very much." I said with emotion.

"I know." Xiao Se's eyes were a little red, "Let's light incense together, and let the gods bless you." ”

He took six sticks of incense, lit them with a lighter, and gave them to me. We kneel on the kneeling mat together and bow to the gods, in fact, we may not believe in the existence of gods, but when people are in urgent need of comfort, they often place their spirits on those ethereal things, and we are the same.

"The way we look is a bit like an ancient husband and wife in a chapel." After kneeling down seriously, Xiao Se teased.

"Nonsense." I'm coquettish.

He took my hand and stroked the jade bracelet on my wrist. "Grandpa really treats you as a granddaughter-in-law, this is a family heirloom, a pair of jade bracelets passed down by his grandmother, originally given to my mother and aunt respectively." He changed to a sentimental tone, "When my mother threw herself into the lake, she was still wearing this bracelet on her hand, and later my grandfather took it off and took it back for his own collection." ”

I was shocked, this bracelet is so precious, not only valuable, but also carries the unspeakable truth of the world. Suddenly, I felt that the bracelet was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. "I'm so ashamed of such a precious thing."

"Don't say that, grandpa won't give away such a precious thing casually, you are the first girl I brought to him, and I spent the night at his house, and he already recognized you in his heart." Xiao Se held my shoulders and looked into the depths of my eyes, "You have a deep relationship with our family, no matter what happens to us in the future, this fate will always last." ”

I nodded, my heart turbulent, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

When he was leaving, Senator Ye sat on the small bench in the courtyard again, his back bent, his head down and rolling the leaf cigarette, he didn't send us off, he didn't even look up at us. I took a few steps and looked back at the old man's figure, and my heart twisted with sourness.

Before leaving Yejia Village, we went to "Qingren" Lake one last time. More than 20 years ago, Xiao Se's mother sank to the bottom of the icy lake, leaving behind the last trace of beauty.

This season, the evening primrose flowers have withered, and only the branches and leaves flutter and stretch in the wind. The morning sun sparkled quietly on the surface of the lake, intertwined into thousands of golden rays, like a large net of golden threads sprinkled by some god. I looked at the glittering golden lake, and my heart was in a trance, an inexplicable sorrow, faint, ethereal, falling from the branches and leaves, swimming in the morning light, gently covering me. The beauty of the "Qingren" lake, and the touching love stories associated with it, plunged me into a light sorrow, so ethereal and ethereal, as light and soft as the morning light.

Xiao Se pulled out a piece of grass and stirred up the water of the lake, stirring up the ripples of a lake. I saw the heavy melancholy under his eyebrows and eyes, and I also saw the heavy and inextricable feelings in his heart. After all these years, I wonder if when he returns to Yejia Village, will all the scenery be the same?

After returning to Haicheng Island from Yejia Village, we went directly to the Time Garden Black Tea House, the opening time had not yet arrived, and only the staff were busy in the store.

"Brother Se, you're finally back, I'm tired and tired here, it's better for you to be happy with the beauty in your arms." Yuan Jiapeng complained as soon as he saw Xiao Se, "I have to slaughter you at night, otherwise it will be really difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"Those who see it have a share, and if you want to slaughter, count me as one." Mu Mian leaned over.

"Don't get involved." Xiao Se was helpless.

"Sister Mumian has been busy enough with me in the past two days, and you actually asked her not to get involved." Yuan Jiapeng turned the finger at me, "Tong Meinu, Mu Mian and I were both miserable by you, and in order to be happy with you, Brother Se left a big mess and left, tired the two of us into dogs." Seeing that your face is like a peach blossom, you must have been well moisturized, hehehe. Tell us what time you two fought until last night and what tricks you played. ”

I was dumbfounded, my face must have been really red as a peach blossom.

Xiao Se was about to stand up for me, but Mu Mian took the lead: "Brother Peng, don't say this kind of thing in public, Tong Xin is thin-skinned, but it's no better than the flowers and butterflies around you, don't embarrass others." ”

"The skin is quite thin, you see it's all red like this." Yuan Jiapeng looked at me straightly.

"Xiao Xinxin—" A familiar call rescued me from my predicament, and Yin Jingshu rushed over like a gust of wind, carrying a large bag of things in her hand.

"Why are you here?" I was amazed at her sudden appearance.

"Yu Meng didn't dare to come alone, I accompanied her and helped her get things by the way." Yin Jingshu remembered that she had left Yu Meng behind, and turned around to pull her over.

Yuan Jiapeng's eyes were immediately attracted by Yu Meng. "Who is this beauty?"

Yu Meng timidly hid behind Yin Jingshu. Yin Jingshu replied for her: "She is Tong Xin's colleague, called Yu Meng." ”

"Looking at this look, figure and temperament, she must also be a ballet dancer, and the girls who dance ballet are different, all of them are so beautiful and smart." Yuan Jiapeng only realized the existence of Yin Jingshu after some praise, "May I ask ...... you are?"

Yin Jingshu pursed her mouth. "I don't need to introduce you, you're not interested in me anyway."

The corners of Yuan Jiapeng's mouth hooked up with an interesting smile. "Why don't you say I'm not interested in you?"

"Because I'm not a beauty." Yin Jingshu replied bluntly.

"Oh." Yuan Jiapeng thought for a moment, "I think you're quite cute." ”

"Come on." Yin Jingshu was very disdainful, "The word 'cute' is very insincere when I hear it, and I wipe it everywhere like a panacea." You can say it's cute, it's good to be cute, or it's bad. In short, when you can't find any words to describe a person, you can just use the word 'cute' to deal with things. ”

Yuan Jiapeng was stunned when he heard this. "Your mouth is so powerful, I can't even find the words to refute it."

"You've finally met your opponent." Xiao Se gloated with a look of schadenfreude, "This Miss Yin's eloquence is first-class, if she becomes a lawyer and fights you in court, you probably won't be able to win against her." ”

"yes, then I'm going to have to ask Fang's name well." Yuan Jiapeng took out a business card holder from his jacket pocket, took out a business card and handed it to Yin Jingshu, "I will report to my home first to show my sincerity." ”

"Isn't it just a business card to deceive, don't talk so literately." Yin Jingshu glanced at the business card and stuffed it into her pocket, "My surname is Yin, my name is Jingshu, and Jingnu Qishu means." ”

Yuan Jiapeng laughed. "Jing Nu Qishu, how beautiful the girl is shy, you are 108,000 miles away from your name."

"You match your name, Jia Peng, double the swell, look at your figure." Yin Jingshu sneered at each other, and reached out to pat Yuan Jiapeng's belly, "You need to lose weight, men who are too fat are prone to impotence, and their wives will be prone to infertility in the future." ”

Yuan Jiapeng's eyes widened, with a ghost-like expression. Xiao Se and Mu Mian laughed back and forth, and I couldn't help laughing, even Yu Meng was amused.

"The heroine of the female middle school, I am willing to bow to the wind." Yuan Jiapeng is worthy of being friends with Xiao Se, and even his evaluation of Yin Jingshu is the same, and he also uses the words "heroine among women".

Yin Jingshu no longer paid attention to Yuan Jiapeng, and asked Xiao Se instead: "Xiao Gongzi, I heard that this shop was opened by you, can I come here to drink tea at a discount in the future?" ”

"No problem, I'll give you a discount card later." Xiao Se readily agreed.

"Oops, I almost forgot, the cake made by Yu Meng hasn't been taken out yet." Yin Jingshu has been carrying the big bag of cakes in her hand, she opened the bag, took out a few large cakes and put them on the coffee table next to her, there are strawberry cakes, fruit cream cakes, matcha mousse cakes and the like, Yu Meng herself also carried a bag, which contained cookies, cake rolls, meat floss bread rolls, etc.
