Chapter 44
Chapter 43 44 “No.” Zhao Yinqing smiled, “I…
Zhao Yinqing spent almost ten days at home, and met Dou Na twice in the middle.
The girl has become thinner, the entire disc face has become smaller and bigger, her figure is slim, her eyes have become larger, her skin has always been supple and tender, and her appearance has improved a lot.
She followed Qin Yu and went to a city in the north. She suffered a loss in school choice.
At that time, Zhao Yinqing did not agree with this. He clearly had a better choice. It was not a wise choice to give up because of his early love in his youth.
But Dou Na insisted on going her own way. I heard that Qin Yu also persuaded her at that time, but it was useless.
“How are your feelings now?”
Dou Na smiled: “It’s not bad, but I can’t see each other often. I see it once a week and a half. I have already gone to university but I don’t study. I’m satisfied with this frequency.
The two sit in a bookstore while serving hot drinks.
Zhao Yinqing took a sip of the milk tea, chewed the pearls in it, and asked: “Did you lose weight by yourself, or did you deliberately lose it?”
“Of course it is reduced.” Dou Na sighed, her eyes straightened as she thought of something, and she quickly regained her senses, “The girls in college are so beautiful, I squeeze among them, you don’t know how inferior it is. At that time, I felt that I couldn’t lift my head anywhere, and then I was really uncomfortable. Thinking that I couldn’t go on like this, I was suffering in my heart, which also affected my study, so I started to exercise and run every day.”
She drank her saliva and continued: “Half the appetite, morning and night runs, a week later, the weight was weighed a pound, and you said that you were out of breath? At that moment, I especially wanted to give up, but they all said the rebound was terrible. , I held on for another week, and then said that I finally felt lighter. After that, I was half dead from hunger every day, and I still ran with my teeth gritted, and I was hungry and dreaming in the middle of the night looking for food.”
“So you would rather drink boiled water today?”
“Yeah, I have a physique that is easy to get fat. I can get fat by drinking water. If I drink a cup of milk tea, I will have to work hard for a long time.” She said, she smiled bitterly.
“What is Qin Yu’s opinion on this?”
Dou Na was taken aback for a moment, and said softly: “He was surprised when he saw me losing weight for the first time, and later praised me for becoming beautiful.”
Zhao Yinqing originally wanted to ask if you like the way you are now? But looking at her faint expression, she didn’t ask for it in the end.
I talked about other life trivia, and this afternoon is over.
Zhao Yinqing passed by the bakery, went in to buy some bread, and then took a taxi home.
When I arrived home, I found that Sun Lu was back, standing by the coffee table drinking water, and the two of them collided with each other.
Zhao Yinqing bowed his head and changed shoes and walked in.
Sun Lu glanced over her right hand and said, “What did you buy?”
“Bread.” Zhao Yinqing lifted it up, “Do you want to eat?”
Sun Lu shook his head, he set aside the cup, took another orange and peeled it, and asked, “Where did you go to play?”
“I went to chat with Dou Na, when did you arrive?”
“Just now.”
Zhao Yinqing let out an “Oh”, and when he saw that he had nothing else to say, he went upstairs.
On the table were a bunch of English textbooks and made a lot of notes. Zhao Yinqing turned on the air conditioner, took off his coat, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
In the evening, a few people had a lively hot pot meal, because Liu Siqi had a bad stomach, so they had a clear soup pot bottom.
Zhao Zhengyang said on the table that he would return to the countryside this year.
Zhao Yinqing took a meal, and then remembered Gao Guqiu’s wonderful mother and daughter. He didn’t know what the situation would be then.
Three days before New Year’s Eve, Zhao Zhengyang pushed all the entertainment to the people below, and returned to his hometown with a truck full of New Year’s goods.
In the same house where he lived last time, Zhao Yinqing went upstairs to put things away, then came down and ran on the swing in the yard to bask in the sun.
The morning sun is warm and gentle, and it is most comfortable to sit down and listen to music and read a book.
“You are afraid that you don’t want your eyes anymore.”
Zhao Yinqing turned his head, and Sun Lu was standing behind him with his hands in pockets, wearing a white sweater and beige trousers, covered by the sun, and he was particularly cured.
Zhao Yinqing took off the headphones: “What did you say?”
“Reading under the sun will kill your eyes.”
“I deliberately covered it, and there is some common sense.”
On the side is a cobblestone path, next to the artificial pool, koi swimming slowly in it.
Sun Lu leaned over and picked up the fodder leaning on the rock, and sprinkled a bit in it.
The originally half-dead fish became active all at once, crowded with their brains rushing to grab food, faintly making a sound of water.
Zhao Yinqing watched for a while, then lay back, resting his toes on the ground and swinging.
In the afternoon, I had nothing to do to bake sweet potatoes in the open space outside. I simply built a few bricks, pressed two small metal sticks in the middle, put firewood on the bottom, and sweet potatoes on the top.
“Did you buy it on purpose?” Zhao Yinqing squatted and used a wooden stick to set firewood.
“From someone else.”
“Give it? Who gave it?”
“I’m an aunt, I don’t know.”
Sun Lu turned the sweet potato over, walked over, set aside the haystack and took a seat on the ridge.
The sun is warm in the afternoon, but the temperature will be just right on the body.
Someone was burning a haystack in the distance, and there was a faint smell of smoke in the air, which is very common in farmland. Zhao Yinqing took a deep breath, and the memory instantly drifted away.
“When I was young, my grandparents were farming, riding a tricycle with a **** every day. During holidays, I would come to live for a few days. After a nap, I often went to the fields. They planted or harvested, and I played on the side.
Perhaps it was thinking of funny stories from childhood, Zhao Yinqing’s expression became very soft, and Sun Lu smiled: “What are you playing? Picking up vegetable leaves?”
“Almost. Pick up some vegetable leaves and dig a little bit of mud, and grab a small one to cover it as a quilt.”
“Are you still catching?”
“At that time, I caught everything, all kinds of insects jumping in the field were caught. I caught them and let them go to school. I taught everything.”
Sun Lu said incredulously: “Is it so devastating? You have to play it to death that day, right?”
“Anyway, she was still alive when she was carried back by grandma.” She looked at the half of the sky where the sun was set. “It’s time to go home later. I think it’s pretty nostalgic now.”
At that time, Zhao Zhengyang’s career had just started, and it was far from the current scale, and the two relatives were more life-like than they were back then.
Zhao Yinqing turned his head and met Sun Lu’s gaze. His gaze was soft and gentle, like facing a child playing willfully, full of tolerance.
“The sweet potato is almost ready, do you want to turn it over?” Zhao Yinqing said at the beginning.
“I can wait and sit here.” He patted the place next to him, and there was a thick pile of grass. “Or do I want to catch it this time?”
Zhao Yinqing said: “I don’t dare anymore. When I was young, I didn’t fear anything when I was ignorant. When I grow up, I am afraid.”
She came over and sat aside.
Sun Lu plucked a dog’s tail grass and threw it there. Zhao Yinqing stared at the twisted grass tip for a while, then pulled out one at random.
“My dad died early. I stayed at home most of the time when I was young. My mother was afraid that I would run around and would lock the door when I went to work. Once I was playing with candle oil at home and accidentally lit the curtains. The house was half burned, but fortunately my mother rushed back in time, so I was fine.”
Zhao Yinqing said unexpectedly: “It turns out that good students were so skinny when they were young.”
Sun Lu is funny: “Children are naughty and regardless of good or bad, and regardless of male or female.”
“That’s true, did you take you away afterwards?”
“No,” Sun Lu was pulling the hair of the dog’s tail. “Later, he put me in a neighbor’s house. At first, the environment was unfamiliar and I didn’t dare to move around. Never scolded me.”
Zhao Yinqing looked at him for a while, smiled lightly, and said, “Ren Xue’s family?”
“Ok.”
The pyre was about to die, Sun Lu got up, patted his **** and looked over, took a small wooden stick and picked the roasted black sweet potato into the ash pile, buried it densely, and waited for it to cool down.
When he turned around, he found that Zhao Yinqing had caught a grasshopper in his hand.
“…” Sun Lu said, “What are you doing with that?”
“Nothing to do, just grab and play.”
Zhao Yinqing grabbed the two hind thighs and watched it flop around in vain.
Sun Lu said: “Catch a cricket and you can fight and kill time.”
“If you grab one of these, you can also fight to see it.”
“What a joke.”
“There is nothing to do anyway, it would be nice to find something to do.”
After a while, the two dug a round mud pit and threw two grasshoppers into it. Within five seconds, one of them jumped away instantly.
“…”
“Are you going to catch leprosy?” Sun Lu said.
Zhao Yinqing glanced at him like a ghost, and said, “I’ll just wait for the sweet potato.”
Finally, the two of them wandered in the field for a while, and when it was almost done, they went back to dig out the sweet potatoes and went back to the house.
The two of them didn’t eat the roasted sweet potatoes, so they took them all with them.
On New Year’s Eve, I went to my grandmother’s house early, including the nanny, a total of six people, killing chickens and ducks, surrounded by a piece of dumplings, Zhao Yinqing wrapped two as early adopters, and left the table to watch TV.
The old man laughed there and said, “Just like when I was a child, he didn’t like to work at all.”
Zhao Zhengyang said: “You let her work, and we won’t eat it in the end.”
When Zhao Zhengguo came to dinner, the old lady asked, “Where are the two mothers and daughters?”
“They don’t care about eating their own food.”
Zhao Zhengyang poured white wine on his elder brother, asked him about his work, chatted a few words at random, and the topic turned elsewhere.
In the evening, the New Year greetings began to bombard again, and Fu Ze’s message also came.
He came back a few days ago, but because Zhao Yinqing returned to his hometown, the two did not meet.
Zhao Yinqing went to the balcony, called him, and was connected soon.
“Happy new year,” he said.
The voice was brisk and cheerful, and Zhao Yinqing could almost imagine his smiling expression at this time, warm and vivid.
“Happy New Year.”
“What have you done these days?”
Zhao Yinqing recalled choosing and talking about the trivial matters of the past few days.
Fu Ze laughed over there: “It sounds interesting. I used to bake sweet potatoes and fish for lobsters with bamboo poles. In summer, I ran outside and peeled off the skin.”
Zhao Yinqing said: “I still swim in the creek with boys.”
Fu Ze let out a “wow” and said, “Is the little girl’s clothes in prison? I think I like to wear small skirts in summer.”
“Shen in the river, no one will notice what you wear, okay?”
Fu Ze smiled low there.
The small courtyard downstairs was lit, and the orange light sprinkled on the cobblestone path, the green bamboo in the corner, the rocking chair in the pavilion, the swing against the wall, the little wave of light in the small pool, and there was more pleasant warmth on winter nights.
Zhao Yinqing listened to the shallow laughter in his ears, and there was an inexplicable satisfaction in his chest, and then he thought of the identity of the two, and this satisfaction diminished in an instant.
She wanted to ask the last sentence, but at the moment the atmosphere was harmonious and she really didn’t want to spoil it.
I chatted a few more words at random, and after an appointment, I met up after a year, and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Yinqing exhaled a long sigh, watching the mist in his mouth dissipate in the air, and stood for a while before turning back into the room.
When I returned home on the third day of the middle school, and met with Fu Ze on the fifth day of the day, it was not alone, but also Yan Qiaochun and Fu Guoxing.
On this day they are going home to pay New Year’s greetings.
Fu Ze’s grandparents are still alive, and they don’t live far away. In the south of the city, Fu Guoxing would go back and take a look when he had time on weekdays, bringing fruit cakes or fish and shrimp meat.
Originally, it was about to pass after the next year. In order to wait for Zhao Yin to clear, it was postponed to the fifth day.
A group of four people, it is a bit like Fu Guoxing took Yan Qiaochun’s mother and daughter to see their parents.
The car stopped at the entrance of an alley, and a few people got out of the car, carrying large bags and small bags and walking inside.
Zhao Yinqing and Fu Ze leaned behind, while Fu Guoxing and Yan Qiaochun talked and laughed in front of them, and their joy was beyond words.
There was a narrow road, and a lot of moss crawled on the shady courtyard wall, and the branches inside the courtyard nodded from time to time.
Zhao Yinqing and Fu Ze were extremely silent, footsteps rang indiscriminately, and Fu Ze suddenly stepped forward, gently curling her fingers from the back of his hand.
Zhao Yinqing raised his head, and Fu Ze turned to the side, Yu Guang wrapped her around, with a slight smile on his lips.
He whispered: “We secretly.”
Secretly……
Young people’s love affair should be high-profile, even in the puberty stage of adolescence, the inner impulse and the courage are enough to resist the prejudices of the adult world.
But now?
The gate of the upper courtyard suddenly opened. A middle-aged man poked his head out and saw Fu Guoxing and his party. He was surprised and said, “A Xing is back!”
Fu Guoxing smiled and nodded: “Ah, come back to see my parents, when did you arrive?”
“The New Year’s Eve just arrived.” His eyes swept over the others, and there was a trace of novelty.
Fu Guoxing said: “Let’s go.”
They continued to move forward, Zhao Yinqing looked down at his empty hand, the alley passed through, and the fingertips were surprisingly cold.
She rubbed her fingertips and put her pocket in her pocket.
The two-story building has small blue and white bricks on the outer wall, which have peeled off a lot over the years. There is a well next to the east wall. There is a plastic bucket and a cement board for washing clothes on the side of the well. Powder and sulfur soap.
A shelf was set up to the west, and the quilts were being dried. The drying time was limited, and the sun would be covered by the shadow of the house in front of the west.
The people inside heard the movement and quickly greeted them, and a very ordinary, thin and small old lady greeted them very happily.
Busy serving tea and water, filling Zhao Yin with fruit snacks, wishing to let everything out of the house.
The pressure cooker in the kitchen was ringing happily, and the old lady turned her head and turned off the fire. She wanted to continue cooking, and she wanted to spend more time outside. She was in a hurry.
Fu Guoxing smiled and said loudly: “Mom, don’t worry, take your time, we won’t leave right away.”
She said twice and said, “I’m just happy.”
Fu Guoxing took off his coat and went in to help. Yan Qiaochun sat for a while, maybe realizing that it was not appropriate, he got up and went in to fight.
Zhao Yinqing sat on the wooden sofa, although it was cushioned with cotton pads, it was still uncomfortable.
She grabbed a pillow and put it behind her, with her elbow on the armrest, leaning against it and playing with her mobile phone.
Not long after, a plate of longan appeared in front of me.
Zhao Yinqing looked up and saw Fu Zechong smile apologetically and said, “Do you want to eat it? I’ll peel it for you.”
“No.” Zhao Yinqing smiled, “I have my own hands.”
