famine

Before entering the door, Cheng Hong grabbed Jiang Xuan by the back of his collar—on the way back, Brother Ku was in this state, walking in the front without saying a word, with a small half-step distance from him, and the top of his head Her hair was about to explode, and she was covered in thorns.There is a posture that I will stab anyone who cares.

Cheng Lang didn't know what was wrong with him, and didn't bother to ask.Because although he had a relaxed and indifferent look when he held the story meeting just now, no matter how indifferent on the surface, this incident is a scar in his heart. He can deceive Jiang Xuan, but he cannot deceive himself.He has been suffocating in his heart until now, and there is a hard thing in his chest and throat, which is stuck up and down, which is very uncomfortable.

After revealing the secret in his heart, although Cheng Lang felt uncomfortable, the feeling of being relieved of the burden did exist.He didn't know whether it was good or bad to tell Jiang Xuan such a private matter, because according to his guess, the situation in Jiang Xuan's family might not be simple.He told him about himself, on the one hand, he wanted to comfort Jiang Xuan, you see, I am similar to you, and it is also very difficult.On the other hand, it is more secretive, because he doesn't know why.

The only friends he made were people his own age, or the kids in the office.Why would he tell a so-called underage person like Jiang Xuan what he has never told anyone else? Cheng Lang has no answer yet, but he is very clear that he likes this prickly cool guy very much. .

Not only is he handsome, but he is also funny and very stylish.

Very distinct personality, personality, although not yet moody - this is too extreme, but also an interesting person.

Cheng Lang rarely saw such a person, or he had never seen such a person at all.Such a young high school student has matured beyond belief.

Sometimes Cheng Lang would be attracted by his many actions.

He endured all the way and didn't see Jiang Xuan come back to his senses, so he knew that he didn't care about what he told him at the towel factory just now.

On the other side, the back of Jiang Xuan's neck was pulled back by him, and the whole person followed suit, took two steps back, looked back at Cheng Hong in an awkward posture, and said impatiently, "What are you doing?"

"Hey," Cheng Hong tugged at his collar again, "You're so irritable, I recruited you?"

"No!" I was a little panicked.

Not up or down, a little uncomfortable.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with you.

Cheng Lang: "Then give me a good time and come and laugh."

Jiang Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Lang patted the back of his head, "Be happy!"

"Hahaha."

"Okay, it'll be like this for a while, if the old man and old lady ask you something and you don't know how to answer it, just have fun."

Jiang Xuan pulled back his collar, frowning slightly, the god of academic masters was burning, disdainful: "Why is the problem of the century so difficult?"

"Don't make trouble, just do it as usual. And I'm really fine, it's been a long time, it doesn't matter, it's not sad, why don't you do this, after a while the old lady really thinks I'm bullying you, I have to sleep in the hospital tonight It's here." Cheng Lang pushed him into the yard, raised his voice and shouted towards the yard: "Old man, I brought the little star back, is the meal ready! I'm starving to death!"

Jiang Xuan sneered and was pushed into the courtyard.

The courtyard is very spacious. There is a large platform at the entrance of the main house. On both sides of the platform are the kitchen and the boiler room. The kitchen is connected to the wing room on the left. The wing room is two rooms with aluminum alloy doors and windows. Clutter in the house.A large green roof protruded from the roof, covering the two wing rooms, so there was an extra carport in the open space in front of the door, where a bicycle and a tricycle were placed.On the right side of the yard is an open-air shed made of grape trellises, but there is nothing on it in winter. The dry vines have been cleaned up long ago, leaving only bare wooden shelves.With just a quick glance, Jiang Xuan could imagine how comfortable it would be under the shed in summer.At that time, while lying on the bamboo chair, grabbing the grapes on the top of the head, and hugging an iced watermelon, it can be said to be very comfortable.

"Little Star is back!" The old lady's voice came from the kitchen, and she poked her head out from the door after a while.

The creases on the old lady's face were much less than those on the old man's face, and the lines were also lighter. Her black and white hair was bound together by a headband, and a flower was tied behind her head. All the hair was scrupulously gathered.The old lady has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which fits Jiang Xuan's definition of what a "grandma" should be.

At this time, she was smiling and waving at Jiang Xuan, "Little star is hungry, the meal will be ready soon, and there is only one dish left to eat. Xiao Yang will take the little star to wash his hands and change into more comfortable clothes. I didn’t go down the mountain, so I quickly settled the dinner.”

For the first time, Jiang Xuan experienced the intimacy of the old man towards him. Hearing the three words "little star" was said by her, he felt very strange in his heart.He called out uncomfortably: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not very hungry."

"Come on," Cheng Hong said on the sidelines, "I heard your stomach growl five minutes ago, but there are no frogs on the side of the road right now, so don't try to frame it."

Jiang Xuan turned to look at him, "Grandma asked you to take me to wash my hands and change my clothes." There is so much nonsense.

"That's right," the old lady was still poking her head, "The little star is still young, so he should eat more, or he will grow...a lot of flesh! The little star must be 1.7 meters tall, it feels like 1.8 meters? If you grow taller, it will be hard to find a girlfriend. And whoever eats cat food like you, this time the little star is here, I think you can even eat your share!"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Hong saw Jiang Xuan's shoulders shaking beside him, and he thought that he had never seen the world, and finally saw him being blamed by his elders, he was so happy, didn't he?

Just as she was about to open her mouth to retort, the old lady retreated into the kitchen again, and raised her voice, saying, "Hurry up, young people are about to move! Wash your hands, change clothes, eat, sleep, and celebrate the new year! Don't delay!"

"..."

Why do you think this tone is so familiar?

"Too much like a bun."

Cheng Lang and Jiang Xuan gathered together to wash their hands by the pool in the courtyard, and the two of them squatted facing each other, Jiang Xuan said so after being silent for a while.

The latter suddenly realized, thinking back to the old lady's tone of "the boss is sad" just now, I didn't think it before, but now I think it is really a bit like a small steamed bun.

He laughed, "Really, let's bring Xiao Mantou here to play when the summer vacation is over. I think we have a common language with the old lady, and we can coax each other and play all day long."

"Keep your voice down, grandma will scold you when she hears it."

Cheng Lang: "Tsk, how long have we known each other? It's just grandma and grandma. How sweet is your mouth?"

Jiang Xuan looked back at the kitchen, then approached him and threatened, "I'm not called Big Mantou, it's too ugly, it's better... Forget about the little star, it doesn't sound too good."

"Hahaha, do you know where the name Big Mantou came from?"

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Do you know Cheng Da?"

Cheng Lang was stunned, "Cheng...what?"

"Little Mantou called you Big Brother Cheng, but I always thought you were called Cheng Da, because you are big and small."

"You..." Cheng Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, just at that moment there was a sound at the door, and the old man came back with the bird cage. He took a closer look and found that the bird caged inside was a yellow bird, so he got up and shook the cage on his hand. Shuizhu, go forward.

"Going to Xiuniao with your old buddies again?"

The old man was smiling, holding the birdcage and having more fun, even with the two slender scars on his forehead, he looked much more ferocious, maybe he was frightened once during the day, this time Jiang Xuan actually saw it from his expression A touch of peace.

The old man proudly replied: "Yes, Lao Zhang came up and down the dining table to look at my bird, and asked me what kind of bird it was, and I said it was a yellow finch. Look at the feathers, the tips of the toes, the beak, and the top of the head. Patterns, I'm so envious of that old thing."

"Why are you so annoying!" The old lady came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and she didn't forget to give him a look, "He just lost his bird, and you still go to provoke him, and you will be honest if you get so angry that you go to the hospital later. "

The old man didn't take it seriously, and went back to the house with the birdcage in his hand, saying: "Then I gave him my starling, I still can't bear it, why show off to him? Besides, Big Mantou picked it out for me. The bird is very spiritual at first glance, I like it so much, I have to let everyone know more about it.”

Cheng Lang: "Stop talking about it, this is what you want to pursue at any age."

Jiang Xuan was surprised the whole time, and his eyes wandered among the three people in the courtyard, feeling very fresh.

The way these three people got along didn't give each other face, and even disrupted each other, but in Jiang Xuan's view, the atmosphere between them was exceptionally harmonious.

——After seeing it, I really want to blend in.

"What a big steamed bun! It's so ugly, I have to call it Little Star!" The old lady had already taken off her apron in the kitchen, but suddenly she remembered something and turned her head to look at Cheng Hong and the two, "Xiao Hong! Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" Ah, hurry up! After a while the food will get cold and won't taste good, I have to ask the little star to try my cooking!"

Very fitting, Jiang Xuan's stomach growled again, but fortunately he was squatting by the pool by himself, and the sound was not loud, and no one else heard it.

It was Cheng Lang who asked strangely, "Uncle Zhang's bird is gone?"

"It's gone!" said the old man, "he's at the end of his life, and he's free from illness and calamity. The old man has been sad for more than half a month."

"No, isn't Lao Zhang suffering from heart disease? Your grandfather is afraid that he won't be able to withstand it, so he gave him one of our starlings."

Cheng Lang: "That's a pity. He has kept that bird for four or five years. Which one did he get?"

"Hey," the old lady said angrily, "the one that has no temper, leave the one that is rambunctious, and quarrel with each other every day."

"What's the matter with the fuss? Our old brothers are doing well, aren't you, Doudou..."

"Quickly talk less, forget how painful it is when you get scratched on your forehead?"

The old lady's craftsmanship is really good, three blocks away from my aunt.

When the four of them sat at the dinner table, it was already dark outside, and the last ray of light in the sky was about to be hidden. The temperature was only four or five degrees, but Jiang Xuan didn't feel cold.

He looked back at Cheng Hong's red face and felt that he was not cold either.

When the wanderer returned to his hometown, although the two old men often pretended to lose their temper with Cheng Lang, they were actually very happy in their hearts.

The door of the main room was wide open, the cotton curtain was lifted upside down on the roof, hooked with iron hooks, a low table was placed next to the door, and wooden benches were placed on all sides, so that one could enjoy the view of the courtyard while eating.The weather is fine today, a crescent moon gradually appears, hanging obliquely in the air, the house is warm and cozy, and the winter wind brings coolness.There is a bird stand next to the LCD TV behind him, and a gray-haired myna Doudou stands on it, but it doesn't seem to be too noisy, maybe it is busy staring at the new squirrel, trying to figure out the enemy. Fang Lushu will not move easily before.

After Jiang Xuan had eaten two large bowls of rice, the old lady handed him another bowl of hot rice. He held the warm bowl in his hand and looked at the moon with his head tilted. His head was not sober anymore.

It's so nice...

"Mantou, serve me a bowl of pimple soup too." The person beside him suddenly spoke.

Cheng Hong's back was facing the door, and the position was a bit narrow and inconvenient. On the left and right were sitting Jiang Xuan and the old lady. The old man was facing the door, with a pot of soup at his feet.

"I'll serve it for you, and I'll serve it for you," the old lady gestured to take the bowl, "I'm doing it right here, and the little star has to go around."

"Let me do it." Jiang Xuan took the first step to pick up Cheng Hong's bowl, stood up and filled the bowl and handed it to him, "Here, brother's soup."

Cheng Lang was stunned for two seconds, "Hiss, beat you."

The old man was laughing, "It's over, you said you are old and weak, and you still want to beat the steamed buns, you can't even touch the back of the neck with a pick."

"That's not sure." Cheng Lang looked at Jiang Xuan and said.

Before going to bed at night, Cheng Hong went into Jiang Xuan's room. Jiang Xuan was already so sleepy that he yawned three times. He always had a regular schedule and fell asleep when the time came.As a result, when he looked up and saw a figure, he was startled and stared: "What are you doing here?"

"Sleep." Cheng Hong took it for granted.

Jiang Xuan was stunned for two seconds, then realized what he meant, and pointed to the bed behind him: "Do you want to sleep here?"

"Otherwise" was clearly written on Cheng Lang's face, but he thought about it, and said, "There are only two rooms, the old man with the kang sleeps two people, and the two of us sleep in this one...or we can sleep alone One day? Today you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the sofa outside, how about changing it tomorrow?"

Jiang Thrush: "..."

After hesitating for two seconds, "Forget it, this bed is big, let's sleep together."

Cheng Lang was not surprised by his decision, anyway, he had already guessed how embarrassed Jiang Yan was to trouble others, since he hesitated for a long time to agree to come to the countryside with him, he could see come out.

So he dug out two sets of quilts from the closet at the door, pointed to one of the pink ones and said, "You cover this."

Pointing to another blue one, he said, "I'll build this."

Jiang Xuan pointed to the blue one: "Can't I build this?"

"Yes, but this one is a bit thick. It's cold in the countryside. It's just right for me to cover it. If you cover it, I'm afraid you will catch a cold by kicking the quilt in the middle of the night. I think the old lady has to cook a lot of meat these days, a pile of chicken, duck and fish. If you catch a cold It’s a pity that I can’t eat it anymore.”

Jiang Xuan no longer hesitated, hugged the pink quilt to the bed, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Where do you sleep?"

It was a queen-sized double bed, one side was against the wall, and one person had to sleep in it.

Cheng Hong was very straightforward: "Inside, I'm afraid you'll get up in the middle of the night and step on me...you don't punch me when you sleep, do you?"

Jiang Tongle, "I don't know, I never slept with anyone else."

"Okay," Cheng Yan smiled at him with the corners of his mouth curled up. Since he returned to the country, he has not behaved very well. Jiang Xuan can also see that he is happy from the bottom of his heart, and he even talked a lot more, "I will sleep tonight. about you."

He pointed at Cheng Yan dumbfounded, "Get lost, you won't admit it after drinking brother's soup?"
