Before I Grow Old + Yokogawa Three Moves (continued) Big and Small Animals (10)
For men and women in love, travel is a monthly exam, decoration is a final exam, cohabitation is a college entrance examination, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, after experiencing these are not exhausted, they are still willing to continue to go hand in hand, and it is not too late to consider marriage.
For Gu Hengchuan and Xiao Song, these tests were just a mirage. They walked hand in hand through a journey of life, looked at the scenery along the way, as Zhou Zuoren said, "This seems to be a flowing water, about always going east to Chaozong to the sea, where he flows, where there is any bending of the port, it must be poured into a lot, what rocks and aquatic plants, always have to be brushed and caressed before going forward, this is not the main brain of his trip, but there is no other itinerary except these." ”
The sea they want to worship is not marriage and family, but death and graves.
So this trip to Songjiang Lake is just a trip, it won't promote anything, and it won't change anything.
Xiao Song is an old driver, the car drove very steadily, Schrödinger didn't get motion sickness at all, he looked around the car window for a while, felt bored, ate a small dried fish, slept all the way by Gu Hengchuan, and woke up to Songjiang Lake.
Xiao Song parked the car and went to the B&B to check in first, Gu Hengchuan hugged a big bag and a small bag, and Schrödinger followed behind him, looking around curiously. The lake is a little cold, the wind blows and swishs, and there is a thick cotton curtain hanging in front of the homestay, which is reminiscent of the "mixed hall" where you used to take a bath.
Now Surabaya City has long since disappeared from the "mixed hall", replaced by a bathing center, or a hot spring club.
When Gu Hengchuan was a child, he went to the "mixed hall" with his adoptive father to take a bath, and it was cold in winter, so it was comfortable to soak in a big pool. There is a peculiar smell in the "mixed hall", which is difficult to describe. After buying a ticket, I went to the dressing room to find a bed, and the old and young men stripped themselves and put their clothes in the cabinet at the head of the bed. The exquisite waist is tied with a bath towel, the unrefined naked hangs the hammer, and puts on slippers to tap and tap to take a bath. Take a bath in the big pool, burn your feet in the small pool, take a shower and take a shower, and feel refreshed. Go back to the locker room, ask for a hot towel from the running hall, dry yourself and lie on the wooden bed, knock on the back, pedicure on the pedicure, and sleep on the bed.
At that time, everyone was honest with each other, and they didn't feel ashamed or dirty.
Xiao Song booked a family room, one bedroom and one living room, with complete kitchen and bathroom. Gu Hengchuan put down his luggage and talked about the "mixed hall" while boiling water to make tea. She has a good family background and has never been to the "mixed hall", holding the pillow and asking questions, listening to it with relish.
After a short rest, the two led Schrödinger to the lake for a walk, Schrödinger was not used to the leash, he walked and stopped, twisted around, and pulled with his claws, Gu Hengchuan simply untied the leash and let it go by itself. Xiao Song was a little worried, afraid that it would be lost, but seeing that Gu Hengchuan was very relieved, he didn't talk much.
This is their way of getting along, if it is not necessary, do not interfere with each other, Schrödinger is Gu Hengchuan's cat, and Xiao Song is not its owner.
Without restraints, Schrödinger was very pleasant, and the way it expressed his pleasure was to rub Gu Hengchuan's legs, trotting all the way to the front, looking back from time to time, as if urging them to hurry up. Xiao Song couldn't help but praise: "Schrödinger is very smart, different from other cats." ”
Gu Hengchuan said: "It's different, it's a little bit ...... Human temper. ”
Xiao Song thought about it, this is the case, there is a way to be "the master of things", Schrödinger's style is somewhat similar to Gu Hengchuan. She laughed, Gu Hengchuan also laughed, he guessed what Xiao Song was thinking, they tacitly knew it, and no one said anything.
On a cloudy day, the lake is lapping against the revetment, like a tidal wave, and the surroundings are very deserted, and there are no people. The two went around in a big circle, Gu Hengchuan was fine, Xiao Song's legs and feet were sore, and he rested for a while before he eased up, feeling that the soles of his shoes were a little awkward, thinking it was a small pebble, he took off his shoes and knocked them lightly a few times, but nothing poured out.
Gu Hengchuan has experience, so let her take off her socks and see if there are blisters.
Xiao Song took off his socks generously, and sure enough, there was a small blister at the heel, and he was worried and didn't know what to do. Gu Hengchuan broke a branch, broke it and picked out a spike, used alcohol wipes to eliminate the poison, broke the blisters, squeezed out the thick water, and put a band-aid on it. Xiao Song was a little embarrassed, he walked a lot, and his feet smelled a little, but he couldn't take care of it at this time.
She put on her shoes, got up and tried to walk a few steps, feeling better.
Gu Hengchuan helped her walk back slowly, casually talking about the old things of picking up garbage, walking through the streets and alleys, at first she was not used to it, blisters came out of the soles of her feet, she burned her feet when she got home, burned her feet with a sewing needle on the fire, picked up the thick water, and slept well. Later, I walked too much, and a layer of calluses came out on the soles of my feet, and no matter how much I walked, it was fine.
Xiao Song flattened her mouth, she didn't want calluses on the soles of her feet.
However, Gu Hengchuan picked up the garbage very interesting, it was a life she had never experienced, Xiao Song asked the bottom of it, Gu Hengchuan told her a lot of down-to-earth details, and returned to the homestay unconsciously.
Xiao Song sat paralyzed on the sofa, rubbed his legs and stomach vigorously, and muttered: "This trip will have to make your legs thicker!" ”
Gu Hengchuan didn't hear clearly, turned around and asked, Xiao Song waved his hand at him, and asked lazily, "What do you eat at noon?" ”
She spoke weakly, obviously tired. Gu Hengchuan opened the cupboard, there were instant noodles and luncheon meat, and when he opened the refrigerator, there were eggs and cabbage. He asked if he wanted to eat instant noodles, Xiao Song hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not bad to eat once in a while......
Gu Hengchuan said: "I am good at cooking instant noodles, try my craftsmanship!" ”
Schrödinger walked around Gu Hengchuan's feet, meowing, Xiao Song knew that it was also hungry, took out the food bowl and poured some cat food to feed it, leaning against the kitchen door to watch Gu Hengchuan busy.
The old craftsmanship has not been abandoned, not much will be a bowl of hot instant noodles out of the pot, there are meat, eggs and vegetables, no seasoning packets, add a little vinegar, smell it and have a great appetite. Xiao Song tasted it, it was much more delicious than he imagined, and gave Gu Hengchuan a thumbs up to show his approval.
Gu Hengchuan made another bowl, hurriedly finished eating, brushed the pots and bowls, and when he looked back, Xiao Song was lying on the bed, Schrödinger was lying on the sofa, and both of them were asleep.
