the sun rises because of loving you

The time we spend together is not short, but it always passes very quickly. Sometimes we just chat together, and when we look at the watch again, more than two hours have passed.

The clothes changed from short-sleeved T-shirts to sweater coats to thin leather jackets. Shang Lin and Bai Xihe have known each other for nearly a year.

The weather was fine on May [-]st, and the two of them asked about Shang Zhu's holiday time, and packed up their things one day in advance.

Shanglin didn't have much to take. He had all the daily necessities at home, and Bai Xihe's could be prepared now. The two of them packed a small backpack, and it was enough to pack a few changes of clothes for Bai Xihe.

The afternoon before he left, Bai Xihe had been busy in Mao Cafe. After cleaning, he wiped the table and the walls, and even took out the carpet under the bed on the second floor for washing. Shang Lin sat on the sofa and watched him work.

It's not that Shang Lin doesn't feel sorry for him, the main reason is that Bai Xihe doesn't let him do anything at all.

Shang Lin knew that this person was nervous.

After tidying up, he went to the supermarket with Shang Lin without stopping for a moment, bought several boxes of snacks and fruits, Shang Lin was a little bit dumbfounded, and held his hand to get Ejiao again: "Okay, that's enough, why don't you Are you so out of touch?"

Bai Xihe's ears turned red, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I won't behave well, and your parents won't trust you to hand you over to me."

In fact, Shang Lin could more or less understand why he was so nervous. It might be because the previous experience with his partner's parents was really bad, so he was so careful, afraid of the slightest accident.

"I'm not a girl. If you are going to propose marriage to Shang Zhu, I won't say anything, but we are both men, so there is no problem of delivery or delivery. You are very good, my parents will like you Yes, don't be nervous."

Bai Xihe silently clenched his hand and nodded, but before he left, he still raised his hand and took down the box of donkey-hide gelatin. He whispered: "Let's take it..."

Shang Lin laughed: "I didn't realize before that you still have such a cute side?"

It was Shang Lin driving back home, Shang Zhu didn't get enough sleep in the morning, so he lay in the back seat to catch up on sleep, while Bai Xihe and him chatted in a low voice.

"It may take two hours to get there." Shang Lin said: "But you can drink water if you want. There is a service station in front, so you can take a rest."

The closer the car was to Yuncheng, the better the air, and the sky was more than a little bit bluer visible to the naked eye.

When they arrived at the service station, Bai Xihe saw that Shang Zhu, who was still sleeping, did not dare to go far, so he leaned on the car door and looked at the sky: "Actually, it's good for my parents to live in Yuncheng, after all, the air is much fresher than in a big city like Yuancheng. There are many, and the pace of life is slow, which is very suitable for the elderly to live in.”

"Even if you are in Yuancheng, you are living comfortably, and the pace is very slow, isn't it?" Shang Lin smiled.

"Yes, it's rare to have this feeling in a big city. Seeing other people rushing to and from work every day, catching the bus and the subway, I feel that I can't be happier."

Shang Lin knew that he liked this kind of life very much. Bai Xihe didn't have any ambitions in his career, and he didn't have to achieve great goals. This was very similar to Shang Lin. It will be very easy to be satisfied.

It's not unreasonable to be content and happy.

Shang Lin's parents were as easy to get along with as he was, and Bai Xihe's restraint and nervousness were resolved in a few words. It happened to be lunch time when they returned home, and Shang Lin didn't cook, but Ms. Zhu had prepared the meal in advance.

Ms. Zhu liked Bai Xihe very much, she pulled him to sit beside her, and kept picking up vegetables for him, which made Bai Xihe a little flattered.

Shang Lin's evaluation of Ms. Zhu's craftsmanship was very pertinent. Bai Xihe was teased by Shang Lin, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, they worked hard to welcome him, so he ate a lot.

"How is it? The taste is okay?" Seeing that he ate well, Ms. Zhu asked happily.

Bai Xihe nodded: "Yes, it's delicious."

Mr. Tang took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Let Shanglin cook tomorrow. Don't ask the child like that. It's the first time I come here, even if it doesn't suit my taste, I have to say it's delicious."

Both Shang Lin and Shang Zhu couldn't help laughing, and Shang Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let my brother cook tomorrow, and you have a good rest."

Ms. Zhu was quite unhappy.

Just now, Bai Xihe was about to smooth things over, but Shang Lin held his hands down, and then leaned up to him and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, or she will work harder tomorrow."

Although it's bad to think so, but in order to eat the meal cooked by Shanglin tomorrow, Bai Xihe still chose to keep silent.

In order to get back before noon, they got up very early in the morning. Shang Zhu was quite refreshed after catching up on sleep in the car. After dinner, he made an appointment with his classmates to go to the coffee shop to chat.

"There are only three bedrooms at home, but since you are with Shang Lin, it doesn't matter if you sleep on the same bed. We didn't clean it up for you. We changed the sheets and quilts yesterday, and they are all clean. You two can rest for a while and sleep A nap?" Seeing that the two of them were sleepy, Ms. Zhu arranged accordingly.

Bai Xihe nodded: "Thank you, auntie, it's okay for us to live together."

Lying on the bed together, Bai Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, Shang Lin laughed, and put his upper body on his arms: "I said they will like you, right?"

Bai Xihe nodded, and also tilted his body to look at him: "They are easy to get along with."

Shang Lin sighed: "It's just that the food is not very tasty."

"Actually, it's okay. I feel that Auntie paid special attention to it today. Although it is indeed not as good as your cooking, the taste is also good. Before I met you, I used to eat my meals. Now that I think about it, after so many years It's a miracle not to have stomach problems."

Shang Lin touched his stomach: "Since I didn't get it before, I won't get it in the future."

Bai Xihe smiled and hugged him into his arms, and the two of them took a nap comfortably.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up again.

Shang Lin took him out for a walk.

The place where the businessman lives is an old-fashioned residential building, and it is on the first floor. There is a small yard of seven or eight square meters at the door of the house. It is half opened to plant some flowers and plants, and there is a loofah stand. At the moment, there is no loofah In the early days, the leaves bloomed prosperously, adding a bit of coolness to the small courtyard.

"It's hot in summer, so my dad likes to sit under the shelf to enjoy the coolness, and sometimes he even brings out a deck chair, and he doesn't use it for an afternoon." Shang Lin pointed to the shadow covered by the green leaves from the sun: "My family never I haven’t bought a dishcloth before, the loofah has too many knots to eat, and when it dries, I can use it to wash the dishes.”

Bai Xihe smiled: "I've seen someone wash dishes with a loofah before, but I can't seem to find it now."

"There are very few for sale." Shang Lin pointed to the other side of the yard: "There used to be a pepper tree planted here, but it didn't bear fruit well, so it was cut down later, and now it's Chinese rose."

Bai Xihe said: "The living environment of your family is really peaceful, no wonder you have such a good personality."

Shang Lin lowered his head and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed and pulled him out. After leaving the small courtyard, there were several intricate and narrow roads. When he first came here, Bai Xihe almost fainted here.

The old yard is like this, the road is relatively narrow, there are many trees planted, and there are plants such as wisteria trellises, which look secluded and have a good feeling.

Shang Lin led him around for a while, and came to a tree with a thick trunk, which could be seen to be many years old.

"This is a fig tree. It has been here as long as I can remember. I can't tell whose family it is. Anyway, when the fruit is ripe, several families nearby will come here to pick some." Shang Lin shot Pat the trunk.

It was the first time for Bai Xihe to see a fig tree at such a big age. He was a little curious and looked up: "When will it be able to bear fruit?"

"July and August." Shang Lin followed suit and looked up: "It's still too early, and you may not even be able to find green fruits. Have you ever eaten figs?"

Bai Xihe shook his head: "No, there are very few of them for sale, and I have hardly seen them."

Shang Lin wrinkled his nose: "Actually, it's not delicious at all. It has a strange smell. Both Shang Zhu and I are not used to eating it. My mother is okay, so I only pick a little bit every year. It turned out that when I was young, I still ate it. I followed her to pick it here, when the people were small and the trees were tall, I borrowed the ladder from the old woman next door."

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Shang Lin couldn't help laughing: "Figs are very soft when they are ripe, and I dare not pick them directly, otherwise they will break if they fall on the ground. I added an iron hook and a cloth pocket to it, so I could pick it up just enough, and the ones I took off fell into the pocket. I have been at a loss for what to do. I climbed up the ladder and spent a lot of effort picking it for more than half an hour. After sweating all over, I only picked a dozen or so."

Bai Xihe imagined how Shang Lin, who was still a young man, climbed up the ladder and wasted all his efforts but still couldn't pick a fruit, shook his head and laughed.

"Shang Zhu also likes to join in the fun. Although she doesn't eat, she likes to watch people climb up and down to pick them. I'm not good at it, so she still laughs at me."

Bai Xihe touched his face: "You must have had a good time here when you were young."

"Yes." Shang Lin nodded: "This old house was left by my grandma. In fact, my parents have been able to buy a new house for so many years, but they have always been unwilling, and they just like to stay in the house." here."

"If it were me, I would also like to live here. It feels very good."

That day, Shang Lin took Bai Xihe to many places. The old community usually had its own kindergarten and primary school, which were not very far away. Shang Lin even took him to visit the places where he went to school.

After all, many years have passed, and new buildings have been built in the school, and the original dirt playground has also become rubber, which is much cleaner.

"In the past, this playground was made of soil. When it rained, it would be muddy. We had to go around the concrete floor next to it, otherwise the shoes would be useless."

Shanglin talked a lot today, Bai Xihe didn't interrupt too much, just listened to him talking to himself about the interesting things he experienced in this land when he was a child.

After talking all the way, Shang Lin also realized that he was too excited, gradually stopped talking, and shook his head secretly: "The past is too long, so I can't finish talking with you like this, but I still want you to know."

Bai Xihe held his hand: "I know, I like to listen."

Shang Lin casually flicked the branches of the willow tree: "I still want to visit the place where you lived, but I haven't been to Yucheng yet."

Bai Xihe smiled: "I'll take you to see it when I have time. Actually, there is nothing to see, but my house is very close to the sea, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk. I was very dark when I was in junior high school, and I didn’t go to high school very much, and then I slowly came back for nothing, although it’s not worth it now, compared to you.”

Shang Lin likes to hear him talk about these trivial things, just like Bai Xihe also likes to hear him talk about things he has experienced, big and small. Even if the other party has not participated in the life of the previous 30 years, he wants to know every bit , even knowing a little more is good.
