back to 1997

From then until New Year's Day, during this period, Xue Dingyuan felt that there was only one word to describe it, and that was honey in oil.

Although the term doesn't seem to be used that way.

However, he felt that it was very appropriate to use it.

Luo Xinning thinks about life every day, but seeing his expression getting firmer day by day, he is relieved a lot, and he is very active in selling goods. He actually got a commission of 300 yuan in these two days.

And Chu Hongsheng kept moving home to eat and drink every day, and then planned with him how to spend New Year's Day.

This is the first time that the two of them have had a proper holiday, and of course they are different.

Even this is the first time in Xue Dingyuan's two lifetimes that he seriously celebrates the festival, so his enthusiasm is very high, and his eyes are almost full of light.

When New Year's Day came, Luo Xinning gave him two days off. One morning, he and Chu Hongsheng went out to eat steamed stuffed buns, and went to the morning market to buy a bundle of leeks and a few stalks of celery before returning home and getting busy.

First, I cleaned up the house, but the total amount of the house was only about [-] square meters. The two big guys seemed a bit too crowded when they turned around. From time to time, their arms would touch their arms and their shoulders would rub against their shoulders. But they have such a tacit division of labor and cooperation. It was finished in an hour, and the next time the two of them were preparing for the food.

Take out the sauerkraut and cut it to prepare for stewing the ribs. Blanch the ribs in hot water and plan to stew potatoes. Cut the top pork belly into pieces and prepare to make braised pork. Cut cabbage and cucumber into shreds. There is a piece of tofu that can be stewed with potherb mustard, and there is a big carp that I plan to braise.

Seeing that the small kitchen was piled up, Xue Dingyuan felt an indescribable joy in his heart. It is not necessary to have so many tricks to pass the day. The better and better the food, the better the life. Go ahead.

After these preparations, he went to knead the noodles, Chu Hongsheng went to chop the stuffing, and the two of them planned to make some more dumplings.

This is also a new year, and eating dumplings is festive.

Because there is only one gas stove, and today all the preparations are big dishes, so although the two of them made preparations early, after everything was ready, it would be two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately, in the morning, the two of them I'm all mentally prepared, so I eat a lot, and I'm not hungry yet.

The food was on the table, steaming happily, Chu Hongsheng was cooking dumplings in the kitchen, while Xue Dingyuan opened two bottles of beer.

After the dumplings came, Xue Dingyuan took two cups and poured one for Chu Hongsheng. Just as he was about to pour it for himself, he heard Chu Hongsheng say, "Wait a minute."

Xue Dingyuan looked over suspiciously, and then Xue Dingyuan snatched the beer away, "You are too young to drink."

Xue Dingyuan: ...

I kind of want to tell Chu Hongsheng that he is almost forty.

Besides, sixteen can drink too, right?The last time he said he didn't want to drink, he didn't want to drink with Wang Guohua, and a brother like Chu Hongsheng must never get drunk after a thousand cups.

Seeing Xue Dingyuan's tangled expression, Chu Hongsheng walked into the kitchen, and came out with a big green bottle after a while, "This is for you."

Xue Dingyuan looked over intently, okay, Dabai Li!

Chu Hongsheng said seriously as if threatening, "You can only drink this."

After finishing speaking, she poured him a glass, which was full and bubbling with small bubbles.

Xue Dingyuan: ...

Well, in fact, he doesn't like drinking very much, he just wants to have an atmosphere, besides, this big white pear will be replaced by Sprite Coke in a few years, so drink some now, it's nostalgic.

So he picked up the drink cup, "Okay, as long as you don't feel disadvantaged, I respect you."

Although eating a meal is not considered a change of cups, it still lasts for an hour or so.

After eating, Chu Hongsheng refused to let Xue Dingyuan clean up, and told him to rest.

Xue Dingyuan did eat and drink a bit too much, his stomach felt like it was bulging, so he lay on the sofa, relying on his physical age, he even rubbed his stomach and groaned a few times to die of it.

Chu Hongsheng drank two bottles of beer, so he wouldn't get drunk, but because the room was hot, he felt a little overwhelmed. It was the time when he was feeling dizzy. Hearing Xue Dingyuan's moaning, his face tightened immediately, and he walked a little faster. They walked outside separately.

In the kitchen, he leaned against the door leading to the balcony.

It's hot at the moment, he only wears sweatpants and a hurdle vest at home, but the balcony is not an insulated balcony, there is always a trace of cold wind coming in through the door, and he is close to the door, and the cold air is blowing into his flesh and blood .

His face was extremely calm, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

But he only stood there for 2 minutes. Afraid that Xue Dingyuan would think too much, he went back to the house to continue tidying up, but the speed of his hands was much slower, so half an hour had passed by the time everything was tidied up.

When he returned to the room, Xue Dingyuan actually fell asleep on the sofa.

The sofa was not that big, Xue Dingyuan's one leg and the small half of his body were hanging in the air, as if they were about to fall off at any moment.

Just as he was thinking, Xue Dingyuan turned around a little, and Chu Hongsheng rushed over in a jiffy, intending to catch Xue Dingyuan.

But Xue Dingyuan still dangled on the sofa in a dangerous and dangerous posture, but did not fall off.

Chu Hongsheng let out a breath, then slowly squatted down in front of the sofa, looking at Xue Dingyuan quietly.

In fact, he had known Xue Dingyuan for a long time, because everyone in the village knew about Zhang Cuilan's abuse of him.

But saying Zhang Cuilan's cruelty behind her back was of no help to Xue Dingyuan's life. As for face-to-face, although there were some who persuaded Zhang Cuilan like the village head, but after all, it was someone else's business, and they couldn't really call the police. Second, Xue Dingyuan It's like it's all my fault, so it still doesn't help.

But at that time, he didn't have any impression of Xue Dingyuan... It can't be said that he didn't have any impression, after all, he had met people from a village, but they didn't meet each other, and he still had some contempt for Xue Dingyuan in his heart.

A person who can endure this kind of situation, let Chu Hongsheng like a bully look at him, even if he meets him face to face, he can move his eyes to other places.

What's more, I haven't met him face to face. After all, that kind of good student, tsk tsk tsk... Seeing him like this makes me want to hide behind the teacher.

But then something happened to his family, and his father had an accident. At the beginning, his father still held his breath. Although the doctor said that there was basically no hope, they had to maintain this tone.

The money was spent like flowing water. Although their life in the village was not bad, they couldn't stand such a toss.

The contractor... the contractor is a good guy, he knelt directly on his father's bedside, but he has no money, really no money, this contractor is actually the first time he has contracted a project, and he dared to take on a small project. Besides, he didn't have any property at all, and all the available ones were mortgaged to the bank, and all the money was put on the construction site...

At that time, he hated himself. He was so old and so tall, but he was still in school and couldn't make any money. So he had the impulse to go back to school and wanted to drop out, but he ran into Xue Dingyuan at the school gate.

The man hurriedly walked towards him, without making eye contact with him, as if he bumped into him either inadvertently or on purpose.

He was already very angry and almost raised his fist, but he found that he had a handful of ten-cent notes in his hand.

He was taken aback for a moment, but when he turned around, he couldn't find Xue Dingyuan.

After counting, the ten-cent bill was only two yuan, and some of them were so broken that they were almost unreadable, and even the pinched ones were soggy.

Thinking of Xue Dingyuan's situation, these two yuan must have been saved from childhood to adulthood.

He closed his palms together, the soft banknotes seemed to pierce his palms...

Later, when the two talked about it, Xue Dingyuan didn't remember it at all, and said that he was stupid because he sold himself for two yuan.

He didn't say anything, but he felt in his heart that what he pinched was not two yuan, but a heart.

At that time, he decided that if Xue Dingyuan had something to do in the future, he would definitely help.

But later... the contractor's parents sold the house, and the brothers and sisters joined together to pool more than 3 yuan. There were also a lot of gross receipts, but when the contractor got it to the hospital, his father couldn't bear it anymore. .

The father and mother of the contractor are over 70. The trembling old man was brought to the hospital by the children. He apologized to his mother, cried with his mother, and said that when he made money, he would pay more to his family...

Crying and crying, his mother passed out, and after an investigation, cancer, lung cancer, and the location of the lesion cannot be operated on, only chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

He started to accompany his mother to see a doctor. He was as busy as a spinning top, but when he was free, he always thought about Xue Dingyuan and wondered if he was being bullied again.

But I really didn't have the energy to manage it, so I was filled with guilt, and then changed, and I don't know when it changed...

He knew that his thoughts were wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was a blasphemy against Xue Dingyuan.

But life is too difficult, only thinking about Xue Dingyuan, it seems to be salvation.

But he didn't dare to think too much, he just gave himself a chance to catch his breath.

His mother was able to make it to the end thanks to the contractor's family. The boss was kind, so the workers worked hard for him, but the money they earned in the end probably went to his family.

On the day his mother died, the contractor's family cried with him for a long time, and said they would pick him up and treat him like a son from now on.

He didn't agree, but the family still helped him with a lot of things. At the end of the matter, he leaned against the window of the hospital, trying to take a breath, but his body slid down slowly without the strength, and his body trembled violently. Couldn't stand up at all.

I don't know how long it took to be in a daze, and then I heard someone passing by the window say: Zhang Cuilan is really cruel, it seems that Xue Dingyuan was beaten, this child is also stupid.

"What can I do if I'm not stupid? Even if he runs away, he will have to return to this home sooner or later. This is his root, so it can't be broken."

He only came to life when he heard the three words Xue Dingyuan.

But he stayed there for too long, and waited for a long time before he could see Xue Dingyuan...

Thinking of this, he came back to his senses and found that his finger was about to poke Xue Dingyuan's lips, so he quickly took his hand back and looked at Xue Dingyuan carefully again.

Xue Dingyuan is a good student, a good boy. Although he has not lived a good life, he is thin but his face is a little chubby with baby fat. People feel relieved.

It is indeed reassuring. After all, he has a brain, which is much better than a person like him who can only use brute force, and this person even has a mature expression. Except for the fact that he was so sick at the beginning and was locked up at home, what happened next? Things are different to him, and he is especially tolerant of himself...

Although sometimes that kind of tolerance seems to be the same as acting like a baby, but even acting like a baby has a feeling of "stop fighting with me, look at people like me who are acting like a baby with you, what else do you want?"

It's also really weird.

This sometimes made him feel that Xue Dingyuan was not like Shiliu at all.

But this person not only has baby fat, but also has lips... round and puffy, so when he smiles, he feels a little more childish...

Chu Hongsheng thought about it, and felt that he still wanted to touch...anyway...just this one time.

He made up his mind that he couldn't drag Xue Dingyuan into the water. He knew that he was abnormal and not good, so from the beginning he made up his mind to separate from Xue Dingyuan when he got better.

Because he knew that he had a violent personality and was easily impulsive, so he might miss the bottom of it all of a sudden.

It is also because people are around, but it is too painful to tell myself to restrain myself all the time.

Being apart is also suffering, and being together is also suffering.

He chooses to separate, at least he has a guarantee for Xue Dingyuan.

When Chu Hongsheng was thinking this way, his fingertips touched Xue Dingyuan's lips.

soft, warm...

But there was an irresistible scorching heat that went up along the fingertips instantly, and people who were burned felt that their skin would be split.

But Xue Dingyuan felt itchy, and he turned over again, so this time he really fell into Chu Hongsheng's arms.

The sudden weightlessness startled him, and he suddenly opened his eyes to find that he was caught by Chu Hongsheng, so he blinked and became a little confused again.

Chu Hongsheng was also taken aback, his heart was beating so hard that he felt his throat was so tight that he could hardly speak, so he forced himself to speak, his voice was so dry, "I'm sleepy, go to bed."

Xue Dingyuan really felt sleepy, so he said "oh" and planned to get up and go to bed, but he was picked up in the next second.

He opened his eyes wide, and reflexively hugged Chu Hongsheng's neck, and was carried to the bed in a few steps.

Xue Dingyuan: ...

The mood is so complicated!

It's really complicated!

What the hell is being so shy? !

But last time I was hugged even with a quilt, so it should be fine.

He looked at Chu Hongsheng again, and Chu Hongsheng was still expressionless, so he covered him with the quilt, "Go to sleep!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but the room was so big that he could only sit on the sofa, and he still felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up again, "I'm going out for a walk."

As soon as the voice finished speaking, Xue Dingyuan stood up and brushed his hair twice, "Why don't you come and sleep for a while, let's go out for a walk together at night."

Unexpectedly, he nodded.

The quilt was put away again by Xue Dingyuan since the day it fell on the ground, saying that it was crowded, and the two quilt covers were dirty all of a sudden, and there was no replacement.

His heart was overwhelmed, and in the end he wanted to indulge, but he didn't say anything.

But at this moment, he was embarrassed to lift the quilt, but fortunately there was heating and it was not too cold, so he just lay down next to Xue Dingyuan.

I wasn't very sleepy at first, but after lying down for a while for some reason, I became confused. Before I fell asleep, I felt a quilt on my body, and then I fell completely unconscious.

When Xue Dingyuan woke up, the room was already dark, and the starlight spilled a little fluorescent light from outside the curtains, and he saw Chu Hongsheng when he turned his head.

With his eyes open, Chu Hongsheng looked fierce, but with his eyes closed he still looked a bit cold.

But so handsome.

He is the kind of handsome guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge. He seems to be a bit of a mixed race. His eyelashes are also very long and thick, and he looks hairy. His cheeks are really cut out by a knife, but his chin is slightly raised. It looks like it has a small hook...

He didn't know why, but he was a little dazed. He didn't realize it until Chu Hongsheng opened his eyes, and then jumped up immediately, "I'm going to the bathroom. If you're not hungry, go for a walk first, and then eat when you come back."

Just like running away, I rubbed my face with water twice to get better.

When he went out, the lights outside were turned on, and he checked that it was past five o'clock, and he was indeed not hungry, so he said to Chu Hongsheng, "I heard from Sister Ning that there will be fireworks at six o'clock in the evening on the pedestrian street, let's go and see?"

Seeing Chu Hongsheng nodding his head, he began to put on his clothes, and then went outside.

Chu Hongsheng said, "It's cold today, wear a hat, scarf and gloves."

Xue Dingyuan was dumbfounded, "It's not good!"

But Chu Hongsheng had already brought him the things, "Hurry up and bring them."

Xue Dingyuan refused to reach out, "Don't!"

Chu Hongsheng bought this for him the other day, and he sprayed it as soon as he saw it, because it was a set of...a panda hat with ears, bamboo embroidered on both sides of the scarf, and the gloves were made of claws.

What is this thing?

He was about to pull Chu Hongsheng back to change it, but Chu Hongsheng blocked him with his words, "This set is the cheapest."

Isn't this cheap and not cheap?

He asked Chu Hongsheng to return the goods, but Chu Hongsheng ignored him, and took it out now...

To be fair, he was really touched when someone gave him something, but it couldn't be something like this.

Seeing that he was not moving, Chu Hongsheng wrapped him up and put on what he needed to wear, and pulled him into the bathroom to let him look in the mirror, "Look, it's good."

Xue Dingyuan did take a look, it's so cute, really.If he didn't wear it himself, he would find it rare.

But when it was his turn, he gritted his teeth, "I'm already sixteen."

Chu Hongsheng nodded, "Eighteen can't be worn."

Xue Dingyuan: ...

In the end, he was dragged out by Chu Hongsheng, and he reasoned with him, "If you buy something, you can't put it away and use it. Isn't that a waste?"

Xue Dingyuan thought it made sense, and besides, it was not a major matter in principle, at most it was Chu Hongsheng's aesthetic problem, so he could only accept it.

It was a bit far to go to the pedestrian street, and they couldn't walk there, so the two got on the bus.

There is not much excitement this year, and everyone rushes to go if there is something new, so there are a lot of people in the car, and it is almost too crowded.

Chu Hongsheng found a good place for Xue Dingyuan, and asked him to stand leaning against the edge of the seat, face to face with him, and hold on to the armrest of the door.

Then both of them were expressionless.

Chu Hongsheng is because of that.

Xue Dingyuan is because... he has been selling computers indoors these days, his tanned face turned paler, and he has meat on his face, so with this hat, he is too tender, so he got in the car All eyes turned to him (chua).

This thing, even if he keeps on mentally building himself, he can't stand it!

At first he could still keep a cold face, but the more cold his face became, the more cute he was, and more people looked at him.

And more blatantly.

Xue Dingyuan couldn't take it anymore, and finally covered his face with his paws, so Chu Hongsheng felt his liver tremble.

This set is really right!

When we arrived at the Pedestrian Street Plaza, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was crowded with people.

Chu Hongsheng was tall, and he kept Xue Dingyuan in front of him, but it was still too crowded.

Xue Dingyuan was also afraid that he and Chu Hongsheng would be separated, and it was hard to find without a mobile phone these days, so he told him that if he couldn't see each other, he should go home quickly and don't wait outside stupidly.

But seeing Chu Hongsheng nod his head, he still felt uneasy. If something happened to the other party when he returned home, it would be troublesome to come out to look for it.

So he thought for a long time, took off one of the claws and handed it to Chu Hongsheng, asking him to wear it on that hand, and then put the bare hand in Chu Hongsheng's hand, "Let's hold it a bit."

Chu Hongsheng held Xue Dingyuan's hand tightly, and at this moment, the fireworks flew into the sky with a whoosh, and one after another, flame flowers bloomed, and his heart also exploded like this.

Nice, but painful.

The fireworks lasted for more than an hour. After the crowd gradually dispersed, Chu Hongsheng helped Xue Dingyuan put on the gloves again.

Xue Dingyuan's expression was flattered, "Come and see next year."

It is best to watch it every year in the future.

Bincheng has never banned fireworks and firecrackers, but in his previous life he was in no mood to play with these things.

This is all idleness.

It also costs money.

The most important thing is that there is no one to accompany, alone, it is even more uncomfortable to watch these things.

But Chu Hongsheng didn't answer him. Xue Dingyuan thought that Chu Hongsheng didn't hear it, and then thought that it would be good to make an appointment when the time came, and there was no need to ask now.

But he didn't see Chu Hongsheng's lips moved several times, it was because he wanted to agree, but he couldn't say it.

Because even the promise is false.

The author has something to say: Chu Hongsheng: Do you not care about me?

Xue Dingyuan: No way, I bought you after more than ten years of savings!

……

Happy Christmas Eve everyone~

……

In fact, I didn’t expect to write about Chu Hongsheng’s feelings today, but I didn’t know why I wrote it. It went smoothly so I didn’t change it.

Then let's talk about the timeline. Although Chu Hongsheng made up his mind to help Xue Dingyuan in his previous life, Xue Dingyuan didn't suffer that beating, so after Chu Hongsheng really finished everything, Xue Dingyuan had already gone to work.

Have Chu Hongsheng looked for Xue Dingyuan? Let's think for yourself, maybe he did, but Zhang Cuilan will definitely not tell him, and even Zhang Cuilan doesn't care where Xue Dingyuan went.

Maybe he didn't look for it, because he felt that he was miserable now, and he couldn't help Xue Dingyuan at all.

But after he became famous, he must have returned to the village for Xue Dingyuan, not to be with Xue Dingyuan, but just to see if Chu Hongsheng in his previous life would die alone,

Well, how about we set it back in time instead of parallel time and space, okay?
