Chapter 018: Xu Er's Ideals

Chapter 018

Dong Xiaokui carried the basket and went to the nearby vegetable market with Xu Er. Originally, he was worried that he was a little unaccustomed to it, but when he arrived at the vegetable market, he took the initiative to choose the vegetables to see if they were fresh, and bargained with the vendors in the authentic Jincheng dialect.

Compared with him, Dong Xiaokui is more like the one who accompanies him to buy vegetables. She was happy to be idle, carrying a basket and following.

After walking for a while, Xu Er finally felt that something was wrong, turned his head and looked at Dong Xiaokui for a while, and said very suspiciously: "Today, it seems that you are cooking, why am I shopping for vegetables?" ”

"I only promised to make lunch, after lunch time, dinner is Xu Ergongzi's performance time." Dong Xiaokui smiled and shook the basket.

"No, I made lunch. Dinner has to be made by you. Xu Er was firmly opposed.

"You first said you wanted to order food, and then you made it yourself. I didn't force you to do it. Dong Xiaokui was calm.

Xu Er insisted that Dong Xiaokui do it, saying, "Dinner, you must make it." ”

"Don't." Dong Xiaokui's temperament is twisted.

"Your daughter, you have to." Xu Er said, his tone was a little anxious.

Dong Xiaokui felt that this was piercing, and before the sentence "why" was said, an aunt selling fish next to her jumped out and said, "What is a woman, it must be?" Young man, it's not that I'm criticizing you, this man and woman have been equal for many years, and cooking for you is like, and women can't be taken for granted to cook and do housework. ”

The aunt who sells fish is righteous, which provokes the women around her who buy and sell vegetables. Xu Er suddenly became the focus of everyone, and some people pointed and pointed, and some people said: "Young man, you also look like a human." Your daughter-in-law is also very handsome. A very compatible pair. ”

Dong Xiaokui held back a smile because the man said, 'He looks like a human', lowered his head and looked serious.

"Well, yes." Xu Er responded.

The middle-aged woman continued: "No one is born with the need to cook. Heaven doesn't stipulate that women must cook. Young man, you just had that thought that you didn't want. If your daughter-in-law cooks for you, it's because she really loves you. However, everyone has times when they are tired, and you have to be considerate of not doing one or two meals once in a while. ”

The woman's words brought the conversation to a climax. The women around seemed to have forgotten that they were here to buy groceries, but to participate in the debate. The more they chattered and chattered, the more excited they became. almost scolded Xu Erkou, fists and feet.

Dong Xiaokui was still gloating and watching the show, but later felt more and more that the development trend of this matter was wrong. Xu Er Gongzi was so angry? So he looked up at Xu Er, but Dong Xiaokui was very surprised.

There was no trace of unhappiness on the man's face, but a calm face, very humble to meet everyone's corrections.

There is a conspiracy. Dong Xiaokui intuitively felt that this man's smile was not so easy to see. Especially when the situation is bad.

Sure enough, before Dong Xiaokui could make a move, Xu Er took advantage of the gap between the women and said, "Thank you very much for reminding you, my daughter-in-law is indeed worthy of my good love." It's just that today is a special situation, and I really want to eat her dinner. ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard him say these words, she already had a premonition of what this person was going to say next. Sure enough, as Dong Xiaokui expected, the group of women were very curious about why the situation was special today, and they all came to ask Xu Er, and several people also looked at Dong Xiaokui with a look on their faces.

Xu Er knows how to hang people's appetites, and after a long pause, she said: "I am a seafarer, I will go to sea early tomorrow morning, and today is our wedding anniversary, she insists on going out to eat." But I just want to eat what she cooks. ”

After Xu Er finished speaking, he glanced at Dong Xiaokui very aggrievedly.

Dong Xiaokui, the forehead god, wailed in his heart. She knew that this man would not go against the grain, and must be playing a trick. Sure enough, just a few words turned the tide around.

Someone has turned around and pointed out that Dong Xiaokui is wrong, saying: "Look how much your husband loves you." Since this is the case, you can cook a meal. ”

"yes. Aoi-chan, I just like to eat the food you make. Although it is not so delicious, it is something that I will never forget. Both in the Atlantic, and in the Pacific. Xu Er said, his expression was extremely realistic.

It turns out that this is also a master who can make up lies and speak sweet words. Well, let's pretend, let's pretend. Dong Xiaokui also pretended to look at him with a touched face. From time to time, his eyes looked at Xu Er very sharply.

"Ah, little girl, don't be awkward, it's rare to always think about your wife's husband when you go out." A lady with a hoarse voice said. Everyone agreed, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the lady.

Dong Xiaokui felt that this situation was too scary, and if she continued to talk about it, she had to start a women's talk show. She immediately raised the basket in her hand and said, "Thank you for your concern." We're just talking, you see, I came to buy groceries, and they all like to eat. ”

Several aunts couldn't help nodding and said, "That's it." The husband and wife must love each other and be considerate in order to grow old, and today's young people are always too self-centered. ”

"Yes. Watching TV a few days ago, the divorce rate is rising, that is, people are too selfish nowadays and refuse to think about each other, so they leave. Alas. Another aunt was very emotional.

Dong Xiaokui immediately pulled Xu Er, smiled at everyone, and said, "I'm joking with this love in my family, so everyone bothered, let's go grocery shopping." ”

Dong Xiaokui smiled wryly, holding the basket in one hand and Xu Er's hand in the other, and walked towards another area of the vegetable market. After walking out for a long time, Dong Xiaokui immediately shook off Xu Er's hand.

"Ah, you want to resist?" Xu Er said calmly.

Dong Xiaokui picked up a piece of white radish and weighed it, smiled at Xu Eryingying, and said, "How come?" The food I cook can still be remembered by my husband, whether it is in the Atlantic or the Pacific. So, how can you just cook a meal? Boss, this radish is half of it. ”

The vegetable seller was about to object, Dong Xiaokui pointed to the piece of rouge radish next to him again, and said, "This one costs two." There are two carrots over there. ”

"You want turnips for a meeting?" Xu Er couldn't help asking.

"Who said it, this is called a gathering of heroes, I haven't seen the Spring Festival Gala." Dong Xiaokui squinted her eyes and smiled at her.

Xu Er narrowed her eyes slightly, and said something that made her hesitate to kill. He said calmly, "Whatever you do, I will eat." Anyway, this meal is something to keep in mind. ”

This sentence made Dong Xiaokui's hand pause, and he paid for the radish. With a slight smile, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "If it's coated with arsenic, will you eat it too?" ”

"If you dare to do it, I'll eat it." Xu Er said very calmly.

Dong Xiaokui smiled, lowered his head to pick potatoes, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that I wouldn't do this, so I naturally said so." ”

"Why don't you try?" Xu Er proposed.

The owner of the vegetable seller looked at the two of them with a nervous look, took the money, and looked at the two of them suspiciously. I probably think the two of them are very neurotic.

Xu Er also seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at the boss, who immediately lowered his head to tidy up his stall. Xu Er took the basket and said, "That's all, it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is who cooks the food." ”

The man was getting better at talking. Dong Xiaokui's nose was sour, and he walked to the side again, saying, "I just want to do what I like." ”

Xu Er didn't speak, just carried the basket. Dong Xiaokui picked some more vegetables, passed by the supermarket, pulled Xu Eryi to go shopping, pushed the cart, and was in the living area. She bought several large porcelain bowls depicting red peonies, as well as a few small cups.

Dong Xiaokui knew that Xu Er would definitely not look down on these bowls, he was playing with antique quilts and porcelain bowls. However, she likes this feeling, and it is very happy to go to the supermarket with her favorite person and buy household utensils.

Xu Er didn't speak, just paid the bill, and carried the things he bought. Although the sun was still in full bloom, the two walked back step by step.

"Let's live a healthy life, walking." Xu Er said.

"If you don't like it, drive your car back." Dong Xiaokui said.

"Sharp teeth. I don't know how to take care of me. Xu Er said.

Dong Xiaokui was silent. I kept walking forward with my things, and my nose was sour, but I felt very happy.

When the two returned home, Xu Er changed his clothes and went to the study to write. Dong Xiaokui naturally cleaned up the dishes with his own hands, looked at the time, it was still early, so he just stewed the soup in the pot, and went upstairs to find Xu Er.

Xu Er was writing, Dong Xiaokui walked over, naturally picked up the ink block and grinded it slowly, both of them had an extremely tacit understanding. The daylight is not too strong, and there are dense green trees in the window, and the setting sun is slanting in.

He wrote on the white rice paper: I don't have to hate this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp? The boat passed away, and the river and sea sent the rest of his life.

Dong Xiaokui took a look, it was a good-looking European body. The words written by this man's left hand can be so beautiful. She once looked at the Wei tablet he wrote, the atmosphere was calm, and then she looked at the European body of the left hand, elegant and free.

"You shouldn't have said that." Dong Xiaokui looked at it.

Xu Er put down the pen, moved the paperweight, and said, "You are self-righteous again, I naturally know what I think." ”

"The boat is gone, and the river and the sea will live for the rest of their lives. This is not the idea that the heir of the Xu family who has made a decision to kill should have. No one would think that Xu Ergongzi would think like this. Dong Xiaokui smiled, but she vaguely knew in her heart that he was actually an uninhibited and romantic person, a person with the same temperament as the wind, but he was going to be made into a calm soil.

"No one is born what they should be." He continued to sign the date below, and stamped his name again.

Xu Er's name seal has a total of 16 sides, and each side has a different title. He chose one side to put his name on it. Then say, "Do you know what my ideal is? ”

Since he said this, it is not a big and empty theory, what kind of country is stable and the family is prosperous.

But what was his ideal? You won't live an ordinary life like yourself, right? Dong Xiaokui couldn't guess, just shook his head.

He smiled slightly, and said, "I used to be stupid to think of building a house in the country, preferably like an old castle, or a classical manor. Then, there are considerate wives and children. I have a large collection of books, I raise flowers and tending to food every day, and the rest of my time is spent researching classics. To be honest, what I would most like to study is classical Chinese mythology. It is better to study the mythology of a system out. Nowadays, classical Chinese mythology is too complicated and muddy. Even the system is not clear. ”

Xu Er said, his face showing a different brilliance. Dong Xiaokui felt that his whole person had changed, and he seemed to be more brilliant.

"You want to study Chinese mythology?" Dong Xiaokui asked, she couldn't help but think of the game she played, "the most mythical", which seemed to be an independent mythological system, and the product of mixing and processing many myths in ancient China.

"Hmm. It's always been my dream. I always feel that Chinese mythology is the most imaginative. However, there is no real mythological study in China. Xu Er said very firmly.

Dong Xiaokui looked at the European body on the rice paper, smiled slightly, and said, "I really didn't expect that your ideal is to be an academic researcher." ”

"It's not just academic research. Perhaps, everyone has a utopia in their hearts. Xu Er explained slightly.

"Utopia, like Peter Pan's Island of Never. Even if the island we wish for is actually in the world, it may not be available. Dong Xiaokui said, remembering his ideals. Now, she has found such a person, but she can't find her way to the island of never.

"yes. When I think about it now, I think so. However, what I want to achieve, I will always work hard. Xu Er said, still in a calm tone, and then slowly paced to the window.

The sunset reflected in, and the outline of his back was so beautiful. She looked at his back and felt very happy. Such a beautiful twilight, for Xu Er, who has been closed to himself for a long time, can open himself up and let her come is a real Xu Er, how rare it is.

Dong Xiaokui felt very peaceful, just like the soft sunset. She even said in a lazy tone, "Then what kind of environment do you really want, such as a specific living environment." ”

Xu Er leaned against the window, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "I actually don't really want to do the ancient castle. I hope it is a more classical courtyard, such as Ningyuan built in the mountains, surrounded by lotus ponds and bamboo forests, with its own vegetable plots, mountain forests, and mulberry and fish farming. Look at the clouds rolling up, dancing the sword and brushing the piano. ”

Dong Xiaokui felt that she was a little crazy, and the more she listened to Xu Er, what came to mind was the time when Wuwu and Qiushui Changge were in the house under the cliff outside Spring City.

In her imagination, Xu Er should be like Qiushui Changge, like that kind of courtyard, dressed in white, dancing swords in the peach blossom forest. She watched from the sidelines, boiling tea and burning incense.

Well, maybe it's because I haven't played the game for too long, or maybe it's because the "most mythical" is too beautiful, too capturing people's hearts, and creating an ideal and most beautiful realm for people. Dong Xiaokui pursed her lips and didn't speak, thinking to herself that if Xu Er played games, he would probably like the "most mythical" one.

Xu Er said casually for a while, and finally, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that worldly things are in a hurry, and I can't help myself." Everywhere it will be. But you, horizontal and vertical, are much freer than me. Or, in the future, study classical mythology for me. ”

Dong Xiaokui was sad when she heard this, but there was a smile on her face, and she said, "Your old man really looks up to me." I am a non-graduate student of the Department of Finance. Study classical mythology. ”

"Your family is also a family, and there are naturally a lot of books, and I have read some of the things you write. That qualification and insight are indeed rare. So, I think you can. It's just that you want to or not. ”

Dong Xiaokui didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled. She naturally agreed, it was his dream, and if he couldn't complete it, she would naturally work hard. It's just that she doesn't want to give him a promise. ......
