Chapter 53
As soon as August passed, the purple grapes began to go on the market. This is Chen Jing's favorite fruit, the size is appropriate, sour, sweet, and there is a hint of bitterness with the skin. Pick a taste with the vendor, buy a whole bunch, and eat a bunch with Chen Si is too much. Sweetness dances on the tip of the tongue, just like the state of mind at this moment.
Chen Jing looked at the newly bought mobile phone and was surprised that there was such a magical and easy-to-use product. Chen Sirang Manager Miao bought an Iphone4 from Hong Kong and gave it to his sister as a gift. Although the latter doesn't have much knowledge to explore the performance and subtleties of this phone, it can be regarded as a comeback. Chen Jing's favorite thing is to let her sister take pictures of herself, and then she can mess with QQ's avatar and so on.
Chen Si was wearing a long gauze dress, standing on the edge of the pool, the light outside the window was shining on his face, his face was pink, and he turned a small corner at his chin tactfully, connecting to his delicate and white neck. She was picking up a grape and stuffing it into her mouth. The red and thick upper and lower lips are closed tightly to prevent juice from spilling out of the corners of the mouth, stretching out thin lines. When chewing, these lines disappear as the muscles contract. There was still a sparkle in the out-of-focus eyes. She remembered the scene on the train during the Spring Festival. I couldn't help but feel a "bang" in my heart, and a warm current passed from the trembling atrium, over the flesh and blood, to the long, thin, white fingers, and trembled. I can't remember how many times I've thought about it. I don't know when I started, and I desperately longed to see him again. Looking at Chen Si, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, he felt envy, jealousy, and a little guilt in his heart. At least she dared to say that she liked it openly, at least she was so close to him, at least she saw her every day, but he actually liked me in his heart. Or me?
There are some questions that cannot be asked, and if you ask something that is already certain, you will ask it a hundred times, and after asking it a hundred times, you will have doubts. Since self-doubt, Chen Si almost frantically wanted to confirm that what Chu Li liked was not him. Is it me that he likes? This rhetorical question, jumping violently and wildly in the atrium, seems to be like a deer rushing in the field of the heart, a fish swimming in the ocean of dreams, and a snake sliding in the desert of love.
There was another voice inside struggling to tell itself that it was pointless. After all, it has been made clear and clear. As long as Chen Jing is in love, she will never snatch love. Her mission, which has remained the same from beginning to end, is to protect her from harm as much as possible.
She steadied herself and took a deep breath. Tell yourself that I'm just a passer-by in this city, and I'll take Jingjing back. Nothing else has anything to do with me.
"Quietly"
"What's wrong, sister?"
"Where do you want to go today on Saturday?"
"Sister, you gave me such a good mobile phone, I'll get familiar with it first." Chen Jing got into the phone with all her heart.
Chen Si turned around and walked to the side of the bed, and under the long silk skirt, the white and straight calves like lotus roots were clearly visible. "No, you're going to get out and about."
"But I haven't studied it yet!"
"When you study it thoroughly, the children will make soy sauce!"
"Whose child?"
Chen Si suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth. "Mine!" The shattered teeth could only be swallowed.
"Oh? Who did you have sex with? ”
Chen Si grinned and asked rhetorically, "Yes, who did you have sex with?" “
"Tell me!" Chen Jing suddenly became serious.
"Who gave birth to me? Stinky girl. “
"Sister, are you in love?"
"Nonsense!" The slightest hint of panic went unnoticed. "I didn't."
"Be sure to tell me first!" Chen Jing lowered her head and tinkered with her iPhone again.
"Pretty Jingjing, do you want to go to Houjie to buy a few clothes?"
"Don't buy it! Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. “
Chen Si pursed his lips, "Then is there anyone to accompany me to eat barbecued pork rice?" I miss Xiaoye so much! ”
"You've only been there last week, you've been there last week, you've been there last week, and you've been there for four weeks in a row."
"But Xiaoye isn't here."
"That's right, Xiao Ye hasn't been here lately, and I haven't asked that grandma."
"Shall we go and see it?"
"What do you see? Just ask the stinky pear. Isn't he known as Xiao Ye's brother? ”
Chen Jing was unwilling to accept any ambiguity between Xiao Ye and Chu Li, and always insisted that Xiao Ye and Chu Li were brother and sister.
"Then you ask!"
"Okay."
Watching Chen Jing dial Chu Li's call, his heart suddenly beat faster. The fawn, which had already settled down, began to be restless again.
"The stinky pear said that Xiaoye is there." Chen Jing said angrily.
"Why are you angry?"
"You said that Xiaoye is not here, why is the stinky pear so clear?" Chen Jing threw her phone on the bed. The expressionless snowman lay straight forward.
"Didn't you say that people are brothers and sisters?" Chen Si said with a faint smile.
”……“
"What are you muttering?"
"This Xiaoye is so cute, what if the stinky pear falls in love with her?"
"Then it's the other way around, you be his sister, and let Xiao Ye be his wife."
Chen Jing covered her head and did not speak. After a while, he actually laughed.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I think that's fine." Chen Jing jumped up. "Let's go! Let's go look at the leaflets. “
Chen Si lowered his body, bent his neck, and made his face straight to his sister's face. "It's going to be good so soon, huh?"
"What's so good about that stinky pear."
"It's just, what's so good!" Chen Sibang said.
The purple patches on Xiao Ye's face have faded a lot, and without fear and pressure, his face has become ruddy, and like a peeled egg, white and bright. The hair is also a little longer. When grandma saw Xiao Ye come back, she couldn't believe it. I found out what was going on when I asked clearly, and I cried like a child, scolding myself for being old and confused, and almost killing my granddaughter. Call Chu Li and ask him to come to the store immediately, and I want to thank him personally. Chu Li had to say that he would come back after the weekend, saying that it was no big deal. Now it is a society governed by the rule of law, the law is all stipulated, usury is illegal, and when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you will directly report it to the police.
After two weeks, Chu Li only came to the store once after recovering from his injuries. Q: Can grandma continue to rent the house? Grandma said that it was no problem, she transferred it to others at the beginning, they were all neighbors, and she would transfer the house back when she made money in the future. No problem. Grandma cooked him a table of dishes, which was probably the most authentic and original meal Chu Li had ever eaten in Dongguan. When leaving, Chu Li said that he hoped that Xiao Ye could go back to study.
Grandma was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Ye again. Xiao Ye said no, she wanted to help her grandmother take care of the business together.
Grandma seemed to be touched by something, slapped her thigh, and wanted to go! This time, I just don't understand the law and am stupid, so I almost hurt Xiao Ye, even if I invite someone in the store, I have to let Xiao Ye continue to go to school.
Chu Li said that the tuition fee is not expensive, and he can afford it. Due to asking Yang Hua for leave, there was still something in the company and then he hurried back to Chang'an.
Grandma asked Xiao Ye one night, "Chu Li loves you so much?" Are you in love? I don't know much about you young people, but this young man is really chivalrous. If it really is, it's also a blessing for you. ”
Xiao Ye thought to himself, it would be good if it was true. Tears came down uncontrollably, telling grandma that Chu Li should have someone he liked.
Grandma pinched Xiao Ye's hand distressedly and said don't cry, even if you recognize a godbrother, you can get a deed.
There were no trees on the streets, no place to live, and they had to shout boredly on telephone poles and walls, and the pop songs coming out of the gold shops were still legible even if they were separated by a few storefronts. In recent years, the number of cars has suddenly multiplied, and the barbecued pork can no longer be placed outside, even indoors, and has to be covered in the counter in order to avoid the sand and dust raised by the waves of cars passing by. Grandma felt that this was simply an insult to the dark red, soft and juicy, fragrant barbecued pork that made people salivate at a glance after dozens of secret processes.
Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind, and Xiao Yehua, who was in a hurry, lost her face, if it weren't for the silver bell-like laughter, Xiao Ye would probably have an elbow hit that face.
"You're scared me to death!" Xiao Ye's eyes were huge, and the fear was fading and disappearing. What came up was euphoria and composure. "Jingjing, why are you here?"
"I'm coming to see you, I'm coming every week. But I haven't seen you once. Where the hell have you been? “
"I ...... I went to visit relatives. “
"I thought you were going to get married and have children, that would be great, so you won't be robbing me of stinky pears."
Xiao Ye covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "A stinky pear, what is there to grab?" Don't rob you, don't rob you. Okay, right? “
Chen Si also walked in, carrying a paper tape in his hand, which should be something that the sisters had just bought from shopping.
Chen Si didn't see Chu Li. Said hello to Xiao Ye. Grandma came out of the kitchen and asked what they wanted to eat. Chen Si ordered a white chopped chicken rice, and Chen Jing said that if he wanted the roasted pork rice that stinky pears liked, it was best to give as much as the barbecued pork to him.
"Sister Xiaoye, can I take a picture for you?"
"What are you going to shoot? Shoot now? ”
"Look, this is my sister's new phone for me. Malic. ”
Xiao Ye glanced at it curiously and said, "Then you can pat it for me."
"Click-"
Chen Jing found the photo she had just taken, pulled Xiao Ye to look at it together, and the two of them giggled and laughed. In the mobile phone, Xiao Ye smiled sweetly, and in the background were a few sticks of barbecued pork hanging in the background.
"I'll shoot it for you, too, do you want to?"
"I've taken hundreds of shots of this. You see! “
Chen Jing swiped her finger left and right, and sure enough, there were countless photos, Chen Jing made all kinds of grimaces, sticking out her tongue for a while, and laughing ...... for a while. Xiao Ye likes this lively and smiling beautiful girl from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Si quietly eats the white chopped chicken, the meat is tender and soft, almost melts in the mouth, and if it is dipped in the sauce, it will conjure up a richer flavor on the tip of the tongue.
"Stinky pear ——!". When Chu Li suddenly came in, Chen Jing shouted, and a mouthful of water almost squirted out of Chen Si's mouth. The deer in my heart suddenly began to run wildly, stepping on the soft heart with every step, making people tremble and not give up.
I don't know when Chen Si began to confidently believe that there was a special tacit understanding between him and himself. For example, now, obviously he is looking at Chen Jing, so he must be peeking at himself. If he looked up at him now, he must be looking at himself. Don't believe in giving it a try?
Chen Si only raised her head after a few seconds, and finally brewed a nonchalant expression, and when she saw Chu Li with her eyes, sure enough, Chu Li's gaze also moved. See? I'm not wrong. Should I nod my head now? Or hello? Wait, let him speak first. If he doesn't speak, I can't pretend I don't know him. Come on, wait and see! I believe that he did not dare not speak.
Chu Li nodded to Chen Si in a friendly manner. Chen Si hurriedly nodded as well. Oh no, I just saw him nodding his head, and I tapped twice, am I stupid! Why do you want to click twice, no one nods and nods twice. Wouldn't it seem silly?
"You've been very busy this time, I've changed shifts, and I can't see you." Chen Jing reached into the crook of Chu Li's left arm with a right hand, and Chu Li said with some embarrassment: "I've been very busy recently, didn't I ask Yang Hua for leave!" “
"Miss me!" Chen Jing's bold confession seemed to have forgotten the past when she was rejected by Chu Li. Maybe it's just to swear in front of Xiao Ye again that sovereignty that doesn't exist.
Chu Li looked at Chen Si, and when Xiao Ye came over with barbecued pork rice, he took the opportunity to break free. Chen Jing sat down with a frown. He seemed very unhappy. It wasn't until Xiao Ye came over to play and take pictures with her that she laughed heartlessly again.
What now? I've finished eating. Looks a little silly when you're sitting, right? Or pull and walk quietly. Could he just be going back too? So we can take bus 120 together. He'll be with us, we'll see.
Chu Li ate quickly, although Xiao Ye kept a little distance from Chu Li, but only a few times he stared, the concern in his eyes was far greater than the ambiguity of his friends. Although she avoided the sisters lightly, she was really looked at by Grandma Ye. When Chu Li brought the dishes to the kitchen, Xiao Ye leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Is the injury healed?" In the hospital, I heard Huang Jing say that you had a shoulder injury. ”
"Out of the way."
"My dad has gone to drug rehab."
Chu Li looked at Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye was bent over and scrubbing in the pool, and Xiao Nizi was a little fatter. "That's good, it's going to get better. What about your reading? ”
"It's connected, but I'm a little worried about grandma."
Chu Li nodded, "That's right." ”
"I'm going to buy the book first. I can only take the road of self-examination. ”
"If there's any difficulty, tell me."
Xiao Ye interrupted Chu Li, "They're waiting for you, don't say more." Go ahead. “
"Xiao Sihe Jingjing, where are you going to play?"
"We're going back, will you go along?" Chen Si raised his head, and the strength of a man in his eyes loomed.
Chu Li wanted to read the book again, and then go back to Chang'an after dinner. But I was a little worried about the safety of the two sisters. Nodding his head, he said, "Let's go back together." “
In fact, the psychology knows the most important reason, and it is still impossible to refuse Chen Si's invitation.
In the evening, Chen Jing learned that she had been reassigned to the wafer shop. Song Lianhua edited a message and sent it to a few selected people.
Chen Jing found that none of her good friends were selected, but she was chosen. When she was a little anxious and a little overwhelmed to show the information to Chen Si, Chen Si was wrapping her curly hair in a towel. Chen Si was also stunned for a moment, and was a little confused about this arrangement. Chen Jing was unconvinced and called Song Lianhua and asked why she was transferred. Song Lianhua said that this is what Deng Xinmin meant, and if there is any opinion, ask him when he goes to work, after all, it will take effect until next month. Chen Jing spent Sunday in anxiety and boredom, and finally stayed up until the evening, and after going to work, she went straight to Deng Xinmin's supervisor's office in the workshop, patted the table with her little gloved hand and said domineeringly, "Deng Gong, why did you transfer me away?" ”
"It's not a transfer. It's a promotion for you! Do you think I'm willing to let you go? ”
"Promotion?"
"That's right. We will soon have an automation line in our test workshop, and we will reduce the number of employees at the end of the year. It just so happened that the wafer workshop was increasing production, and a team leader was required. I think about it, smart, capable and careful, who else? ”
"But ......," Chen Jing said confusedly, "I don't want to be promoted!" ”
"You will increase your salary, don't you want to be more relaxed when you come to the company to do things?"
"I don't want a raise, I'm doing a good job here."
"You don't want to go? That's not going to work, we've all reported it to the production manager! Don't embarrass me quietly, it's a good thing for you, and I deliberately saved the opportunity for you. ”
"Why don't you discuss it with someone!"
Deng Xinmin teased, and he had nothing to say. Song Lianhua said: "People can't think of it, don't you want it?" ”
"Why don't you go, Sister Song?"
"I still want to, people don't want me." Song Lianhua pursed her lips, and her fat figure remained motionless.
"Oh, what can I do?"
"Just go, such a good thing!" Deng Xinmin said very incomprehensibly.
"Then I'll think about it."
"If it's going to be easier, I think you can try it." Chen Si said to his sister.
"Then I won't be able to see the stinky pear."
"That's right, oh pitiful, pitiful, then don't go."
"That's it! Deng Gong said that the salary increase, who is rare. “
"Do you really like Chu Li that much?"
"And who do I like?"
"You can like yourself."
"I hate myself." Chen Jing said with some frustration, "No one likes me." “
"I like you, Daddy likes you. Aunt likes you, and all of us like you. “
"But Stinky Pear doesn't like me."
"Do you know him?"
"Why do people have to know each other to like each other?"
"That's a good thing, and my sister doesn't know either." Chen Si said sincerely, "However, I think we first have to know each other's character, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and then see whether the two parties have suitable personalities, whether they have a common language, and the same goal." ”
"Is this what others say about the three views?"
Chen Si nodded, "The three views refer to the world view, the outlook on life, and the values. Worldview refers to how you see the world and how you understand the people and things around you. The outlook on life is how we should live in this life and what we live for. Values are what is most valuable and worth cherishing. “
"Sister, then tell me about your three views."
"First of all, everyone's three views are constantly changing silently. Your concept now may be different from that of 10 years, 20 years, or when you will be old in the future. This is very profound, and my sister can't say it clearly. I think the world is unfair and cruel. But we have to cherish it, because life gives us the opportunity to experience the unfairness and cruelty, and at the same time we understand what is beautiful and kind. In this life, we should live seriously and soberly, treat our relatives and friends well, and cherish them. For me, the most precious thing is you, a stinky girl. “
"Sister!"
"What's wrong?"
"I've heard you say so much, your worldview, outlook on life, values, and thinking have nothing to do with you. You're a fart with three views. You must be very unhappy. These teachings make you unhappy, how can you believe it? ”
Chen Si couldn't say a word.
"I know that Stinky Pear treats me like a sister, and I don't know who he likes. Maybe he just didn't want me to say he had someone he liked, right? I just feel that with him, I'm not afraid. ”
"Do you still feel scared with me by your side?"
"You're a woman."
"What about Dad?"
"Dad didn't care about me at all. How can you protect me? “
"Why doesn't Daddy care about you anymore?"
"He was just in charge of feeding me and growing me up. It doesn't matter what happens to me when I grow up, whether I am dead or alive, happy or not. “
Chen Si couldn't accept her words, but he was used to his sister's crazy words.
"You decide for yourself whether you want to go to the wafer workshop or not, my sister won't force you. All right? ”
"I'm not going. Tell that boss about it. “
"Think about it. It's inconvenient for my sister to tell your boss, and my sister is not capable of this. “
