Chapter 005: The sun is shining

I like you, so in front of you, I don't like my usual self.

—Epigraph

Xu Er hugged Dong Xiaokui, and the extremely lingering kiss was full of pity. Outside the house is the sound of gongs and drums for the lion dance to welcome the new year, and the sound is earth-shattering. Later, he finally let go of Dong Xiaokui's lips.

Outside, after a long period of cloudy and snowy weather, the sun finally ushered in the sunny day of the New Year, and the sun fell through the window of the withered grass, and fell into a soft light.

Dong Xiaokui saw his face, bathed in the morning light, so soft. That was something Xu Er had never had in the past, and in the past he seemed to be above the Nine Heavens, cold himself and alienated from all living beings.

He lowered his head, forehead against hers, surrounded by his warm breath. He looked at her and smiled, the corners of his lips slightly raised. This scene is very literary.

What a stupid couple of people. Dong Xiaokui couldn't help laughing, then put her arms around his waist, twisted towards the far end, and dragged him against the window, bathing in the warm sunlight of the winter morning.

Xu Er leaned against the wooden windowsill and looked at the windowsill with Dong Xiaokui. It's like an ordinary couple, who get up early in the morning and find that the weather is very good, and they are very surprised, and they watch the clouds rise and fall in this world together.

Outside the window is the old street, and the red lanterns on the street are hanging to welcome the New Year. The lion dance welcoming team, flags flying, shaking the sky in gongs and drums, going door to door to greet the New Year, everywhere you go, are crackling firecrackers. Yunlai Town will have a variety of traditional plays, traditional snacks and traditional handicrafts during the Chinese New Year.

People put on new clothes and walk the streets, or watch plays, or visit relatives and friends. Diagonally opposite was the former town office, and next to it is an old teahouse. Some elderly people wore breasted kaftans, drank tea in the teahouse, and sometimes sang a voice that was so sharp that it could break through the sound of firecrackers.

Outside, the sun is warm and the people are buzzing, and it is a peaceful scene of the world. Dong Xiaokui leaned on Xu Er's chest, and the two of them were by the window, and they were actually fascinated.

When he came back to his senses, Xu Er smiled and said, "Stone, you didn't give me a New Year's gift or prepare new clothes for me." ”

Dong Xiaokui was stunned and asked, "Why do you ask me for a gift?" ”

"I heard that Jincheng celebrates the New Year, and the wife wants to make clothes for her husband. You see, the old man over there who smoked a cigarette must have made that gown from his wife. Xu Er pointed to Grandpa Li, who was sitting on a chair opposite him basking in the sun.

He was right, that dress was indeed made by Grandma Li. Dong Xiaokui glanced at him and said, "How can you see that the gown was made by his wife?" ”

"Come on. Where are there shops that make cheongsam, even if they can do it, they don't like to do it. Xu Erzhen had words.

Dong Xiaokui retorted for a while. He came back and said that he wanted Dong Xiaokui to give him a gift.

"Clothes? I'm not going to do it. Dong Xiaokui spread his hands. A look of embarrassment.

"Anything with your heart is fine, stone, are you such a stupid person?" Xu Er couldn't help but pinch her face again. He seems to be particularly fond of pinching her face.

Dong Xiaokui pretended to think about it, stood on tiptoe, and couldn't help but kiss his lips. The soft touch finally provoked Xu Er's displeasure: "Dong Xiaokui." ”

"Happy New Year." Dong Xiaokui smiled sweetly.

"It's too perfunctory." Xu Er replied, and then whispered, "Dong Xiaokui, are you too presumptuous?" ”

She smiled, broke free of his embrace, and looked at him, but it seemed that she couldn't get enough of it. She looked left and right, and then said: "Zhong Lin, you are not a frightening Xu family second young man to me, nor a hero, nor a myth. You're just someone I really like. Lost not? ”

Xu Er frowned slightly because of her words, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he smiled as if he was nothing, and said, "Stone, you must remember what you said." Also, in front of the people I like, I always don't look like my usual self, which I'm very satisfied with. ”

"Of course." Dong Xiaokui smiled at him, and without waiting for him to speak, she pulled him out for a walk and felt the New Year's atmosphere.

Xu Er didn't mention parting, nor did he mention when he would go back. Just let her take it with you and go out together. The sun is warm, the people are boiling, and the New Year atmosphere is strongThis is a small town in southwest China, and the old houses seem to go back in time, back to the beginning of the last century.

Dong Xiaokui and Xu Twenty fingers interlocked, measured every inch of the scenery, savored it, talked about ancient buildings, clothing, paintings, and finally myths and legends. Dong Xiaokui started talking about totem worship, talking about the research in the past six months, as well as some experiences. Xu Er's expression was bright, and he said in surprise: "Stone, you actually study so much. ”

"Hehe, I have other plans. Zhonglin, I want you to know how right you are to choose me. Dong Xiaokui let go of his hand, ran for a while, stood on the bluestone slab, and turned back to smile at him.

He looked at her, walked over slowly, held her hand in his palm, and said very seriously, "What do you mean by me choosing you?" It's me and you, remember. ”

This man even has to distinguish such words. Dong Xiaokui felt happy, pursed her lips, looked at the sky, and at the beginning of 2008, Jincheng had a blue sky and daylight, and there was such happiness.

The two held hands together, and when the neighbors in the town saw it, they all smiled understandingly, and some even joked about Xiaokui and asked her to introduce it. Dong Xiaokui was just about to introduce, but Xu Er took the lead and said, "Her fiancé." ”

So the neighbors knew about it, and they said a few words in understanding, and congratulated Dong Xiaokui with a smile.

Dong Xiaokui didn't argue, and turned her eyes to look at Xu Er, until she saw that she was embarrassed and looked for other topics. Later, the two went outside the Taoist temple to see the ginkgo tree tied with concentric knots. The ginkgo biloba must be hundreds of years old, and has witnessed the joys and sorrows of many people, joys and sorrows, in the mist of the Taoist temple. Therefore, people always think that it is spiritual, and they place all their good wishes on it.

The ginkgo biloba in winter is bare and has no beautiful leaves. Xu Er stood under the tree and said, "Xiaokui, I will return to the capital the day after tomorrow." The holidays are gone. ”

Dong Xiaokui was very reluctant and felt sour unconsciously. Because of the peculiarity of his work, or every parting is a dead parting. She didn't dare to think about it, but sometimes she had to.

"Well, you have to pay attention to safety, I'm in Jincheng, I-" Dong Xiaokui thought for a while, and then said, "I'm in Jincheng, I'll do my best." ”

Xu Er didn't speak, just turned around and held her in his arms, ignoring the strange eyes of the pilgrims around him. Dong Xiaokui also let go, regardless of whether the pilgrims around her would have her neighbors, relatives, friends and classmates. Just in his arms.

"Actually, I wanted to go and visit your father's grave this time, but after thinking about it, I felt that now was not the time. Because, I haven't been able to promise him anything. He said suddenly.

Dong Xiaokui bit her lip, hugged him tightly, and bowed her head silently.

Later, they offered incense and said a lot of exhortations. And agreed to accompany my mother to my grandmother's house in the afternoon and visit Uncle Chen tomorrow.

It was the first day of 2008, and although the whole country was covered with snow and ice, the sun was warm and the haze in Yunlai Town was warm. From this day on, Xu Er and himself were honest and heart-to-heart. The uneasiness of the past has turned into smoke, and all that remains is to unswervingly move forward side by side. ......
