Chapter 40: Suddenly
Little Stone drinks with Fang Yu.
Zhou Huiqin held Baisuo in her hand and wanted to put it on for her son and leave, but her son ignored her.
Chen Xiao saw that she was treated coldly and wanted to find something to talk about with her, but he didn't know what to talk about. Because there are some topics that may touch on things that others don't want to mention.
"Sister Zhou, are there any customs for the Dragon Boat Festival here? Like what to eat and what to play? Chen Xiao finally thought of an idle topic.
She knew that eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate Qu Yuan, and there was no Qu Yuan in this world, so they should not have the custom of eating zongzi.
Zhou Huiqin said: "The Dragon Boat Festival is mainly about wearing Baisuo and eating snake meat. As for playing...... No. However, when there is a singing festival on the tenth day of the first month of June, it will be very lively than the song. ”
Chen Xiao suddenly understood why Zhang Lizheng asked his son to send them a snake today, it turned out that this thing should be eaten tomorrow.
Chen Xiao said to Xiao Shi: "You should know that snake meat will be eaten tomorrow, right?" ”
"Yes." Small stones chew the meat.
"Then why don't you remind you? We'll save it for tomorrow. ”
"It's the same today and tomorrow. Anyway, I just ate snake meat during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
Zhou Huiqin saw her son's attitude when talking to the owner, and wanted to remind him to be respectful to the owner. But her son didn't even look at her.
Fang Yu said: "Buy another snake tomorrow and eat again." ”
"How can you eat every day."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the earnest expression on Zhou Huiqin's face, as well as the Baisuo she had been holding in her hand.
She also wore Baisuo when she was a child and knew the meaning of Baisuo.
She said to Xiao Shi, "Let your mother help you put Baisuo on." ”
"No. I'm not a kid anymore. Little Stone took a sip of wine.
"In front of my mother, no matter how old I am, I am still a child." Chen Xiao's lesson.
Xiaoshi didn't speak, and bowed his head to eat the vegetables.
"Do you know the meaning of Debeso?"
"Before, I wished that my mother would wear a baso for me. However, I don't have a mother's ......."
Chen Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him, and after saying this, tears suddenly welled up. She couldn't control her tears a little and immediately turned back to the house.
Several people at the dinner table were confused by her.
Fang Yu reacted relatively quickly, was stunned for a second, and got up to follow Chen Xiao's room.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Xiao found a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
"Nothing. It's just that all of a sudden burst of tears. ”
In fact, she was not sad at the moment, and she didn't know why she suddenly shed tears.
If it was before, Fang Yu would have joked to her, "Why don't you lose your memory again?" I still remember not having a mother". But now, he knew more from the white snake and knew where she came from.
He stood silently beside her, trying to comfort her, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort her.
Chunhong was very surprised. She had never seen Sister Chen crying.
Xiao Shi looked dazed: Did I make her cry?
Zhou Huiqin sighed secretly. She knows that children without mothers usually shed tears when they mention their mothers. Zhou Huiqin is also a motherless child, and she knows why Miss Chen is crying.
"Little stone, no matter how old you are, in your mother's eyes, you are a child."
Zhou Huiqin controlled her emotions, and there were crystal tears in her eyes.
"For the last time this year. You'll be an adult next year, so don't wear it if you don't want to. ”
Before Xiaoshi made a living by catching snakes, Zhou Huiqin was always worried, for fear that he would be bitten by poisonous snakes or encounter danger outside.
She couldn't take care of him, and he wouldn't let her take care of it. She prayed silently for his safety every day.
Xiao Shi saw that his mother seemed to be crying, and said, "Wear it, wear it!" Help me put it on my neck. ”
Finally heard that his son agreed to wear Baisuo, Zhou Huiqin got up and put it on for him.
in the room.
Chen Xiao wiped away his tears and prepared to go out. I saw Sister Zhou get up and wear a hundred ropes for the little stone. I was about to step out, and I took it back.
She could see that Little Stone was messing with his mother. Although she doesn't know much about Xiaoshi's heart, she knows a little bit about the rebellious children of modern divorced parents.
Fang Yu followed behind, she suddenly stopped, Fang Yu didn't brake with a kick, and his chest hit her back. Chen Xiao was almost stumbled by him, and he hurriedly hugged him.
The chest behind it is like a wall, and the arms around it are like a safety railing.
Chen Xiao jumped in his heart, and for no reason he felt a feeling of "being cared for".
These days, she saw that Fang Yu wanted to chase her, and she also gave him a chance, although the two did not say it, they were in a vague state before falling in love.
Of course, this is just Chen Xiao's own opinion. She is in love with modern people, to understand the process between them.
She felt that the relationship between the two had not been officially confirmed, but in Fang Yu's opinion, her "establishment of words" with him was confirmed.
Chen Xiao didn't immediately break his arm and stood still.
Fang Yu felt her delicate body, smelled the fragrance in her hair, and couldn't help but tighten his arms.
Chen Xiao had a strange feeling in his heart. Or rather, the feeling of heartbeat.
She knew that Fang Yu had been defending her, helping her cover up or explain things of "unknown origin".
Isn't he curious? — but he didn't.
He has a very special tacit understanding, which is so special that Chen Xiao is a little difficult to understand.
She guessed that Fang Yu did not have amnesia, but just some secrets that could not be said. So when she has something that she "can't explain", he will take the initiative to help her explain.
Perhaps this is a kind of "secret exchange".
He acquiesced in her amnesia, and she acquiesced in his amnesia. However, both sides should know that neither of them has amnesia.
Chen Xiao knew that he had exposed too many things. At this point, Fang Yu did a better job than her. He barely showed any horses' feet, and even if he did, he only showed her. For example, he knows the military uniform and knows the spirit stone. and help her explain the origin of the chili pepper.
In fact, Chen Xiao was very curious, what kind of place is Xiling's "Northern Black Mountain", why is the Ruyi Lou shopkeeper of Xiling people, and when he heard that the pepper came from the Northern Black Mountain, he didn't ask anymore, and it seemed that he completely believed it.
Of course, as a "secret exchange", Chen Xiao never asked Fang Yu where Montenegro was.
This is the tacit understanding between the two of them. Know each other, don't ask each other.
Chen Xiao saw Sister Zhou helping Xiaoshi put on a hundred ropes, so she pulled away Fang Yu's arm and walked out of the room.
Seeing Chen Xiao come out, Zhou Huiqin said:
"I'm so sorry! Disturbed. She actually apologized for making Chen Xiao cry.
After all, she is in her thirties, and her heart is delicate, and she knows that some things can't be said directly. At this point, it would only be embarrassing to say, "I'm sorry to make you cry."
"Nothing." Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Zhou Huiqin saw that her youngest son had finished eating the things in the bowl and said:
"Let's take our leave. Thank you! ”
Her last three words were meaningful. seems to be grateful to Chen Xiao for entertaining his youngest son to eat snake meat, and seems to be grateful to Chen Xiao for persuading his eldest son to wear Baisuo. But she has another meaning: thank Chen Xiao for taking the little stone.
Aunt Shen went to tell her that Xiaoshi had come to Chunji Snack House and introduced her to Chen Xiao and Fang Yu. said that they were amiable and generous, and that the little stone came to them, so that she could rest assured.
At first, Zhou Huiqin was not very relieved, and sent someone to observe it secretly. The man went back and told her that Little Stone was fine here.
At dinner just now, she saw the way Xiao Shi and the two of them got along, and she was relieved now.
"I'll help you when I get back and ask where that ball was made." Zhou Huiqin did not forget this.
"Thank you!" Chen Xiao took her hand and thanked her sincerely.
When someone asks, she can avoid many detours, which is a great help.
