Yao Dongzhi is learning English, and she knows that although boyfriend is translated as boyfriend, it is different from boyfriend in the Chinese context. My cousin has been alone abroad for many years, and it is not surprising that she has a boyfriend, but after she returned to China to work, she still found a boyfriend, and she was suspected of deviant.

She cautiously asked, "Well, are you going to get married?" ”

Xiao Song smiled slightly and shook his head.

Yao Dongzhi felt more and more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Are you unwilling, or is he unwilling?" ”

Xiao Song said: "We are all unmarried, only as a couple, not married, and not having children. ”

Yao Dongzhi had a stomach full of words to ask, the streets of Chengdu were full of traffic, not a place to talk privately, she pulled her cousin to a secluded alley, found a café to sit down, came to her side, her eyes flashed with little stars, and asked her cousin what kind of person her boyfriend was.

Xiao Song smiled and said, "Why are you so gossipy? ”

Yao Dongzhi said: "Women have the potential to gossip, and they can't sleep without asking clearly, cousin, good sister, just tell me!" ”

Xiao Song said: "Let's talk about you first, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

Yao Dongzhi shook his head, sighed deliberately and said: "Good men are all arched by cabbage, those of the same age are too naïve, and those who are mature and golden don't look down on me, hey, it's not high or low." ”

Xiao Song heard her say something interesting, and twisted her cheeks, "Come less, with such a good skin, I feel pitiful, is it a picky eye?" ”

Yao Dongzhi hugged her arm and shook it, "If you have a boyfriend, you must tell your cousin, please check it, so as not to run into Zhongshan wolves!" ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Xiao Song told her about Gu Hengchuan, he was from Surabaya City, an IB course teacher, liked to read, and had a cat with mandarin duck eyes.

Yao Dongzhi got to the bottom of it, a little bit like squeezing toothpaste, Xiao Song smiled and drank coffee, just say what he could say, and keep his mouth shut if he didn't want to say it. Yao Dongzhi saw that he couldn't squeeze out any dry goods, sighed, felt that it was not enjoyable, and blurted out: "When will you go to Surabaya City to play, meet your boyfriend......"

Xiao Song only said that she was joking, and said casually: "Okay, if you come to Surabaya, I will invite you to dinner, and call him by the way." ”

Yao Dongzhi kept this incident in mind and let her go for the time being. The cousin trusts her, and she didn't talk to her uncle and aunt about it, but she was suspicious of Gu Hengchuan, unmarried is not an excuse to play, and her cousin will not be entrusted to anyone. She really wanted to go to Surabaya City and see it for herself.

After Xiao Song spent the Spring Festival in Chengdu, she booked a ticket to return to Surabaya, and her parents persuaded her to stay a few more days, but Xiao Song politely declined. I haven't seen her for a long time, and her parents are also old, and they are a little strange, she tried to persuade them to do a genetic test several times, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back. What if a genetic mutation is discovered? There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, and knowing in advance is only adding to the trouble, and she would rather keep a little luck than despair.

One day, when her parents have early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, she will leave Surabaya City, leave Gu Hengchuan, and return to Chengdu to take care of her parents and accompany them through the last journey of their lives. Then, she can also be carefree, eat and read books alone, and leave this world with peace of mind when she is young and old.

She won't get married, she won't have children. She doesn't want to cause trouble. Until then, allow her to live as she pleases.

Xiao Song solemnly asked his cousin to take care of his parents and called a taxi to the airport. Along the way, she began to miss Gu Hengchuan, and her thoughts were like spring water, gradually getting greener.

The plane landed at Chunshen Airport, Gu Hengchuan picked up Xiao Song, and took a taxi back to Surabaya City. The two sat in the back seat, Xiao Song was a little tired, leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes to recuperate, his snort was heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

I slept very deeply all the way, and when I woke up, I had already arrived in Surabaya City, and the year was not over, and the streets were a little deserted, and Xiao Song muttered: "Let's go see Schrödinger......"

The two returned to the apartment in Longhu Mansion, everything was the same, bookshelves, tents, pots and pans, Schrödinger stepped forward to sniff Xiao Song and called at her a few times. Xiao Song's heart softened, squatted down and touched its little head, and teased Schrödinger for a while.

Gu Hengchuan boiled sukiyaki, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, beef, cabbage, green onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, konjac, and the taste was very light. The Japanese eat it with raw egg liquid, Gu Hengchuan was worried that Xiao Song would not be used to eating it, so he directly hit it in the pot and boiled it into a soft-boiled egg.

Most of the Sichuan dishes are spicy, Xiao Song is not used to eating them, and the sukiyaki is very suitable for her taste, so she ate several bowls in a row, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "It's good to be back!" ”

After eating, brushing the dishes and chopsticks, the two sat down to drink tea and chat. Xiao Song took out Chengdu's specialties, sencha bamboo silk eggplant, Huangjia hemp sheep, Zhang Fei beef, Pixian Douban, Gu Hengchuan opened a pack of Zhang Fei beef to taste, a little spicy, with just the right tea.

Gu Hengchuan originally took a big tea jar and drank bitter fried green, but because of Xiao Song, he specially prepared a tea set and a dragon well for her. Xiao Song held the teacup and tasted the tea slowly, talking about the Spring Festival in Chengdu, his parents were in good health, there was a cousin who lived in their house, he was looking for a job in his senior year, he didn't have any professional classes, and he only went to school occasionally. She asked Gu Hengchuan how she spent the Spring Festival, and Gu Hengchuan told her that she had hoarded a lot of New Year's goods, read books at home, and took Schrödinger downstairs every day to walk around.

Speaking of going downstairs and walking around, Gu Hengchuan remembered something, and took out a chicken-heart-shaped gourd from the bookshelf to show her, the surface was printed with a comfortable cloud pattern, and the vent cover was removed, and a coiled copper ring spring was installed at the mouth of the gourd. The gourd is an old product, with a layer of pulp, and the ring spring and mouth cover are new, which does not look very coordinated.

Xiao Song didn't know the gourd, so he looked at it over and over again for a long time. Gu Hengchuan pointed to the gourd and explained, this is an insect tool for raising gnats in winter, and he listens to the sound in his arms, and if he raises it well, he can raise it from November to May of the following year. This gourd was pulled out of the grass by Schrödinger, Gu Hengchuan thought it was in good condition, so he took it home and wiped it clean with a damp cloth, and went to the cultural play market to find someone to ask, with a new ring spring and mouth cover.

The shops in the cultural play market are almost closed for the New Year, only one or two are still open, Gu Hengchuan is looking for a local, an old man in his fifties, with a goat's beard, specializing in making gourd insect tools, and his craftsmanship is very good.

Xiao Song thought it was very interesting and encouraged him to simply raise a winter gnats to play. Gu Hengchuan was a little moved, and said that it was too late this year, and he would wait for next year.
