Chapter 34: Long Time No See
Long time no see
Crazy life
Autumn in Beijing is getting stronger and stronger, pedestrians are quickly passing through the ginkgo biloba leaf-lined road, and the fan-shaped yellow leaves falling from the sky seem to be a group of dancing butterflies, waving their wings and jumping lightly. North drove off-road, the car stereo was repeated for a long time, North looked at the city wrapped in haze in the traffic jam, and the afterglow of the west was faint and dim, dyeing the gray sky like an oil painting. After months of not seeing each other, he could barely contain his thoughts, and this time he finally found a good excuse to meet her again. At the end of the year, the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala program have been put on the agenda, and he took this opportunity to cooperate with her again, and he could get along with her for a while, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, holding the steering wheel with one hand, raising his lips with the other, and smirking irrepressibly.
Off-road slowly drove into the community, north to the rearview mirror in the car to arrange clothes and hair, take out a gift from the co-pilot and walk to Ao's home. At the door of O'Ao's house, he let out a long sigh of relief and rang the doorbell. Before the door opened, the sound came: "Is it my good friend Deng Bei?" ”
Still that clear voice, Kita grinned "Yes!" Ao happily opened the door, wearing a beige knitted kaftan with her hair tied up, and Kita wearing a camel-colored trench coat standing outside the door smiling.
"Ho! It's handsome again! O'Ao joked as North brought him slippers
"Deng Bei is here, come in, come in, it's cold outside." Mom greeted her, and Kita handed over the gift in her hand
"Come on, what kind of gift do you bring?"
"Auntie, be careful."
"You stupid boy, why are you so polite?"
Kita changed his shoes and walked into the living room, and Dad stood up
"Deng Bei is here, come and sit."
"Hello uncle, I came this time to discuss the Spring Festival Gala with Aoao."
"You discuss."
The two chatted about business until nightfall, and finally they were free, and the water in the north cup was cold
"Xiao Deng, after the business is over, let's have some tea and talk about homely things, and have a meal later?"
"Okay Uncle"
"O'O, you go and get the tea you brought back last time."
Ao trotted to get the tea, and Bei sat next to his father and began to chat, skillfully turning on the kettle switch on the tea set, and as soon as the water boiled, he began to skillfully scald the cup. He used bamboo tweezers to hold the blue-glazed porcelain cup, rinsed it with hot water, and put the tea leaves in the north hand and nested in the sofa next to the north.
"Ao, you look at the people, you look at you again." Kita raised his eyebrows and looked up at Oao who was nestled in the sofa and hugged Piupiu eating oranges.
"Dad, what's wrong with me?"
"Look at Xiao Deng, how meticulous the hot tea set is, how do you think about it every time?"
"Isn't it just a splash of water? Oh Dad, how much is so exquisite. ”
"Eh, why don't you pay attention to drinking tea?"
Bei put the curly tea leaves into the bottom of the pot and poured the boiling hot water into it, and the tea leaves were soaked in water and squeaked and twisted, blooming eagerly, completing the most important transformation in life. Bei held the handle of the teapot and lifted it one by one, Cuibi's tea was poured into the green glazed cup, the fragrance steamed up with the heat, and he handed the teacup to his father with both hands.
"This tea, my family Ao Ao brought it to me last time when he came back from Suzhou, Biluochun on Dongting Mountain, you can taste it."
The aroma of tea penetrated into his nose, and he took a sip of tea
"Fragrant and elegant, fresh in taste, sweet after drinking"
As soon as the three words fell, Ao Ao looked back at Bei with a smile on his face
"Yes, Deng Bei"
Dad smiled happily, "Hahaha, that's how it feels, Ao Ao, you learn a little, what else do you say besides being delicious." ”
Kita pursed his lips and smiled, raising an eyebrow at O'O
"You're just going to be foolish," Ao snorted, turning his head away
"Now few young people are willing to taste tea, and they can't tell one, two, or three after drinking, Xiao Deng is good."
"It's just that when I was a child, I drank tea with my grandfather at home, and I learned a little from my ears and eyes."
"It's really good, now many young people are impetuous, unwilling to do this kind of tea chatter, they feel that it is a waste of time, but how can they understand the truth here."
"It's the heart that cooks tea, and it's about life, right?"
"Yes!" Dad's face was full of appreciation.
Mom was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and the smell of rice filled the room, so Ao got up and dragged his slippers into the kitchen. Drinking tea in the north while watching Ao Ao roll up his sleeves and wash vegetables, under the warm yellow light, the two men sipped tea and looked at the two ladies cooking in the kitchen, looked back at each other and smiled, and then talked about the world, talked about the affairs of the country horizontally, and talked about the development path of life vertically.
Piupiu was lying on the sofa scratching his head, and Kita called "piupiu" It immediately turned around and got up and ran over, throwing himself into Kita's arms, Kita rubbed its head, touched its chin, and licked the back of Kita's hand.
"It's time to eat!" Ao Ao put the food and dishes and chopsticks neatly on the table, the four of them sat down, North praised his mother's craftsmanship again, and his father took the red wine to pour it for Bei, and Ao Ao didn't have time to swallow the rice
"Dad, he can't drink, and you forgot?"
North glanced at his father and couldn't bear to be disappointed
"It's okay, uncle is happy that I drink a little"
"What are you kidding, what should I do if I have allergies later?"
"It's okay, I'll drink a little with my uncle."
"Will it work?"
"Uncle rest assured, I know the degree"
Ao's father was getting more and more drunk, and kept patting Kita's shoulder
"Our Xiao Deng is really good, if only I had a son like you."
"Dad, am I bad?"
"Look, the girl is not satisfied," said the father, pointing to Ao Ao and pointing north, "Good! How bad! This stupid girl in our family, she is so old in a blink of an eye, I think when she was five years old, she was so big, I took her around to run the crew, and now she is so old. ”
North under the influence of alcohol, the roots of the ears are red, and the eyes are bright
"Xiao Deng, you should know how hard it is to do what you do, my stupid girl has been working for so many years, and she has really suffered a lot of grievances."
Seeing that his father was about to start nagging about the bitter history of those years, Ao Ao couldn't help but stop him
"Dad, how many years have it been, don't talk about it, everyone is annoyed by it"
"It's okay, it's okay, uncle, you talk" Bei patiently listened to Aoao's father talking, the wine became stronger and stronger, Bei listened to Aoao's story, and his consciousness began to be a little sluggish, and he only had her star eyes in his eyes.
Chatting late at night, the wine and food were cold and the interest was not endless, and the north looked at the time and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Xiao Deng, it's so late now, you have drunk again, you can stay in our house." Daddy is going to leave the north behind
"No need uncle, I'll just call the assistant."
"It's so late, the assistant has to rest, you just stay here."
"That's right, Xiao Deng, you just stay here for one night first, you're welcome, just treat this as your home." Mom also began to hold on to North, who turned his head to look at Ao
"You're drunk like this, what's the matter?" Ao Ao looked at Kita's red face, his face worried. "Okay, don't talk about it. You can live here. Ao turned and pushed North to the guest room
"Oh, you sleep here, I'll get you my dad's pajamas." Kita sat on the black and blue velvet quilt, his consciousness ethereal, and a sense of unreality wandered through his mind.
O'O came in with his dad's plaid pajamas and new toiletries and pushed Kita into the bathroom. Kita bowed his head inside the door and took the clothes from Ao's hand, smirking stupidly and saying "It's good"
"Okay, you big-headed ghost, you sober me up"
Ao pinched North's arm
"It hurts!" Kita frowned and twisted his waist and groaned
"You still know that it hurts, tell you not to drink, you can't drink it, you have to drink"
"People are happy, why are they worried?" Bei suddenly lowered his head holding his clothes, smiled at Ao Ao dotingly, and then slowly approached her face, Ao Ao's heart beat like thunder, stared at him with wide eyes, raised his head to avoid, Bei leaned over, gently hit Ao Ao's forehead with his forehead, and whispered in Ao Ao's ear with satisfaction.
"Fool, I'm not going to eat you."
Ao nervously pushed North away, slamming the door shut, and the fawn slammed into it.
Water poured from the shower, down his scalded and reddened cheeks, over his misty eyes, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his smiling mouth, dripping down his chin. Ao Ao trotted with a mask and bought sobering pills and anti-allergy medicine at the 24-hour pharmacy at the entrance of the community. After 20 minutes of going back and forth, Ao went home and knocked on Kita's room, he was wearing plaid pajamas, a towel was around his neck, the water in his hair was not dry, and he was close to Kita's forehead, and he was so docile at this time that he didn't speak.
"Are you stupid? Don't blow your hair either? Ao Ao handed the medicine to Bei "Take the allergy medicine first, two tablets, I'll go get you a hair dryer" Bei obediently did so, Ao Ao brought him a hair dryer and went back to the room to wash. He listened to the sound of her water, and she listened to the sound of his hair dryer.
In the morning, Bei opened his hazy sleepy eyes, pushed the door out, and next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, Ao Ao looked back in pink pajamas with his hair tied and holding a cup. The sun shone brightly, shining on the side of O'Ao's face.
"Awake? The weather was nice today, and there was no haze. ”
The north is in a trance, and it is easy to fall into it.
