In the courtyard, the autumn colors are gone, the winter scenery is bleak, and the crape myrtle trees have a few dry leaves on their bare branches and leaves, and they are by the pond. The daffodils, which grow vigorously in summer, do not show any signs of blooming. Shi Jiaojiao got up from the red outdoor sofa and stared blankly at the water surface of the small pond that dried up into a small mirror. A piece of hot fell on her shoulder, and she left quickly after ordering two o'clock, Shi Jiaojiao looked up and saw that it was Xia Lei who brought a cup of hot cocoa, and said, "I don't wear a coat, beware of catching a cold." ”

Shi Jiaojiao took a sip of the fragrant drink, leaving a brown mark on her upper lip, and replied: "It's okay, because the sun is big and there is no wind." Xia Lei took out the mobile phone with a loud ringtone, glanced at it and didn't answer, threw it on the sofa, sat down next to Shi Jiaojiao, and said, "Some things are just listened to, they don't matter at all." Didn't Fei Fei respond well to these treatments? Shi Jiaojiao took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Xia Lei, and said dejectedly: "It's just that these people are very important, they are Fei Fei's closest relatives." ”

Xia Lei leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes to feel the pure daylight of the town, and said, "You are stupid, no matter how important people are, it doesn't matter how much they are. With your heart towards Feifei, you are more important than her mother at this moment, do you believe it or not? Hearing this, Shi Jiaojiao lifted her feet, leaned closer to Xia Lei, and whispered, "I just feel sorry for Fei Fei." Xia Lei pursed her lips and let out a sullen "um". Shi Jiaojiao blinked, her eyelashes flashed with a fine light, and said, "Lei Lei, I'm so scared." ”

"Afraid of what?" Xia Lei asked knowingly, she just wanted Shi Jiaojiao to say it herself, Shi Jiaojiao was naturally unguarded in the face of her best friend for many years, and replied sincerely and sadly, "I'm afraid she will really leave us." The corners of Xia Lei's mouth actually raised slightly, she grabbed Shi Jiaojiao's cold hand by instinct alone, and did not say anything to appease, but responded with the same sincerity, "I'm afraid too." Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head in frustration, Xia Lei opened her eyes in the sunlight, her brown pupils were contracted by the strong light, "I'm afraid I have to face her too." ”

The dull sound when the wooden door came out of the front hall was pushed open, it must have been that Ah Qian and the nanny went to the market to buy something and came back, Xia Lei sat up, stuffed her feet into her cotton shoes, and said, "There is something in the office, I'll go over." "Go ahead." Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head and stood up as well. Xia Lei went to the room to change clothes, while Shi Jiaojiao lifted her spirits and went to the front hall.

"What are you doing, come here to help!" Chen Li bent down to protect the basket, and the cotton cloth covering it turned up a corner, and it could be seen that it was full of eggs. Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly went up to hug the basket, and the warm from the basket made her feel numb, so she panicked and looked for a place to settle down, and asked loudly: "Why do you sell so many eggs?" Grandma Ah Qian flipped through her vegetable basket and answered: "Where did you buy it, when we met her at the door, she carried such a big basket!" ”

Chen Li flattened her breath, crossed her waist and pointed to the basket and said, "My grandmother saved it, and searched the chicken coop of the neighbor's old lady, and asked me to bring it up and give you a few points, insisting that there are no eggs to eat in the city." The aunt was holding the sleeping little Fuxing, and was going to send the child to bed, but she couldn't help but interject after hearing it, "Native egg stew for the child is the most nutritious, and I heard that two or three yuan can't buy one in the city." Chen Li became proud when she heard this, raised her neck and said, "Look at how good it is for you." ”

Shi Jiaojiao squatted on the side of the basket, touching the piece of cotton cloth, which seemed to be the temperature when the egg was just born, and said warmly: "It's rare." Chen Li waved her hand and said, "Grandma Qian, go and get a basket, divide the points, and let her and Fei Fei get the rest." Ah Qian picked up the vegetable basket and promised to go to the kitchen, and the aunt also hurriedly took the child to the middle hall, and met Xia Lei, who was about to go out, and the two responded casually.

"Eggs?" Xia Lei stuffed the sheepskin gloves into the pocket of her leather jacket, squatted down and picked up an egg to look at it, and then sent it to her nose to smell it, and said with a smile: "I was born not long ago, and it smells of!" Chen Li took two eggs in one hand, and said while sending them to the basket that Ah Qian brought: "Yes, yes, you know more than this now." Xia Lei glanced at Shi Jiaojiao, carefully put the eggs back in their place, stood up and said, "I'll go to the studio, and I'm going to eat stall eggs at noon." As he spoke, he pressed Chen Li's shoulder, made a look, and said to Shi Jiaojiao, "I'm sad, I'll leave it to you." ”

The two of them rearranged most of the remaining eggs, carefully tucked the cotton cloth, Chen Li picked up the red basket, and walked along the corridor with Shi Jiaojiao all the way to the kitchen. Chen Li shouted through the black wooden shelf, "Grandma, your Jialei said that you want to eat stall eggs at noon, and I will eat it too!" Grandma Ah Qian was already preparing the ingredients, scrubbing the unknown shellfish, and said: "She has a bad mouth, a layer of egg liquid and a layer of oil, and she can't spread it fluffy and fluffy even if she makes a mistake, which is the most annoying." ”

Chen Li grinned, hugged Ah Qian's increasingly rickety shoulders, and said coquettishly: "It's not just you who can get it, you can satisfy our mouths." Ah Qian habitually pursed his lips, but there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden, "Yes, yes, my life is to make food for you anyway." The two young women looked at each other and smiled, and Grandma Ah Qian picked up the egg and turned it upside down, saying, "I usually don't like to make this abrasive dish, but unfortunately Fei Fei is not there, and she also likes to eat it." ”

"What's going on in her family, can't she handle it for so long?" Grandma Ah Qian surrounded the stove, gossiping while brushing the cooking utensils to be used, turned her head to look at the two people in the daze, and asked, "Is there someone in her family who is not in good health?" That's it when I'm old, my finger joints are not flexible in winter, and I took refuge with the old lady when I was young, and I fell from washing clothes in the river! It was much colder than it is now, and the ice is so ......thick."

"This old lady is getting more and more chattering!" Chen Li said that the person was half lying on the fence painted in a dark color, leaning out half of his body into the garden, reaching out and tearing off a wide leaf of the persimmon tree, and playing with it in his hand. Shi Jiaojiao leaned on the railing and nodded: "Yes, there used to be a lot of style. Chen Li covered her eyes with persimmon leaves, looked at the bright sun from the eyes of the little worm, and said: "The first time I came to celebrate Xia Lei's birthday, I directly recognized her as Grandma Xia Lei." At that time, who knew that some people still had housekeepers or something, scared to death two little hairy children who had never seen the world! Shi Jiaojiao was trapped in the memory, and there was a smile on her face.

"Fei Fei is much more decent than the two of us!" Chen Li looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said, "The conditions in her small family are not bad. Shi Jiaojiao didn't know why, and looked at Chen Li suspiciously, "So what?" Chen Li also turned around and leaned on the beauty's lean, twisted the stiff handle of the persimmon leaf, and said, "I just want to say, in fact, Fei Fei's mother has never treated her badly." Shi Jiaojiao's gaze crossed the high wall of the old mansion, and it took a long time before she lazily responded, "Yes, there is really no place for disadvantage......

Chen Li licked her dry lips and said, "Actually, Fei Fei's mother is right, no matter how important the person is, it is impossible to say who is seriously ill, and everyone will have a bad time." Everyone has their own life, even if they are loved ones. Shi Jiaojiao held her breath and grinded the roots of her teeth fiercely, she couldn't agree with this almost cruel argument, but she couldn't argue with it. After a long time, he sighed, "I just can't get better." ”

Chen Li pinched Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder, the strength of her fingertips made Shi Jiaojiao feel a dull pain through her winter clothes, her voice was hoarse, like a warning, and said: "No way, no way, otherwise you are adding to Fei Fei's burden." ”
