Chapter 19 Warm Wine Boiled Peach

My hometown is in a small town in the middle of the country, and the winter is colder than Guangdong, with ice and snow falling everywhere.

When the car drove into the yard, Tao Fu opened the door and got out of the car, and saw grandma standing at the door with a warm water bag in her sleeves. When she saw him, her eyes lit up, she smiled and waved: "Oh, my little Ah Fu is back! Hurry up!" Quick, come to grandma."

"Grandma, happy new year." Tao Fu smiled obediently, and walked to grandma.

"Okay, okay." Grandma stuffed the hot water bag into his arms, touched his face with rough and warm hands, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction in her smile: "Why did you lose weight? I need to eat more later, there are bacon, Beef, rabbit meat, tamales...everything you like!"

The car door slams, opens and closes.

Wen Jingxi got out of the car, stood in the ice and snow wearing a white down jacket, smiled politely, "I wish grandma."

As soon as grandma heard the voice, she looked towards him, and when she saw the other person clearly, the doting smile she had just shown to Tao Fu froze on her mouth.His eyes became critical and unhappy, he poked his head, stared at his forehead hair that half covered his eyebrows, and then stared at his little bunny tail braid tied behind his head.In the end, he curled his lips, snorted, ignored him, pulled the Tao Talisman and turned around to walk into the inner room.

While Tao Fu was being pulled in by his grandmother, he turned his head and looked at Wen Jingxi with apologetic eyes.

Wen Jingxi smiled and nodded, giving him a comforting look.

"Why did Ah Fu come back with him?" Grandma patted the back of Tao Fu's hand, and said in an unhappy tone, "Don't be spoiled by him."

"We are all in Guangzhou, drop by." Tao Fu looked into grandma's eyes and said sincerely, "Cousin is not bad."

"Hmph, not bad," the grandmother squinted at Wen Jingxi from the corner of her eyes, and snorted coldly, "Not bad is still messing around with men and women online."

Tao Fu was speechless, unable to refute.

Grandma's point of view is not a day or two.After all, it was all his fault.

Wen Jingxi was poor at school since he was a child, but girls often chased him to confess his love and sent love letters to his home.When grandma was sweeping the floor, she found one or two letters in the corner of the wall. When she opened them and saw those lingering sentences, her face turned green.Later, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, he didn't work and didn't go out. He rented a house and kept painting. He didn't explain anything to his family.Uncle was dissatisfied with him, quarreled with Aunt Wen, poured bitter water in front of grandma, and demoted him to nothing.

Tao Fu couldn't listen anymore, so he opened Wen Jingxi's Weibo to show them the certification information, and told them that he was a contracted cartoonist of a famous cultural company in Guangzhou, and he came here for a serious job.Then click on the picture in the album to explain, this is his work, and it has been translated into Japan, which is really great.

As a result, when my uncle heard the word Japan, his face turned dark.The grandmother took the phone and was attracted by Wen Jingxi's comments on Weibo with rich pictures and texts. She saw keywords such as "husband", "lick" and "pregnancy" at a glance, and her face became darker than that of her uncle.

Poor Tao Fu hurriedly snatched the phone back, said too much and made mistakes, so he simply bit his lip and shut up, and stopped drawing darker and darker...

At dusk, at the gate of my hometown.

After Wen Jingxi parked the car, she took a straight transparent umbrella and opened it, turned her back to the house, and walked onto the snow-covered country road.

Tao Fu waited for his grandmother to go to the kitchen to pour hot tea for him, and hurried out of the house. At the door, he saw Wen Jingxi's back, walking further and further away.

"Brother!" Tao Fu trotted to catch up, panting, "Where are you going?"

Hearing the voice, Wen Jingxi stopped and smiled at him, "Go to Master Wang at the head of the village for a haircut."

"Why do you need a haircut? You look so good!" Tao Fu was surprised.

Wen Jingxi laughed out loud, "But grandma doesn't like it."

"But," Tao Fu twisted his fingers, "I like it... Besides, Master Wang has closed for Chinese New Year."

Wen Jingxi rolled her eyes with a smile, and rubbed Tao Fu's hair with her hands without an umbrella, "I'm lying to you, I just went for a walk, looking for a place with a good signal, and I have an email to send."

Tao Fu smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, then you should come back soon."

"Okay." Wen Jingxi nodded with a smile, turned and left.

Tao Fu watched his back gradually disappear until he disappeared, so he reluctantly went back to the house.

In the house, the eldest cousin sat by the fire and watched TV.

Tao Fu walked up to her and sat down, using a wooden branch to fiddle with the chestnuts roasting in the stove.

Suddenly, the eldest cousin turned around, wrinkled her nose, and stared at him without saying a word.

Tao Fu stopped moving, and asked blankly, "Why?"

The eldest cousin wrinkled her nose and approached him, sniffing and sniffing.

"What the hell are you doing?" He shrank back, hiding and hiding.

The eldest cousin had had enough of sniffing, and finally sat back, bulging her eyes and cheeks, and said, "Strange, why do you smell like Brother Jingxi?"

Tao Fu avoided her gaze, looked down at the bursting chestnut, and said, "I came back in his car."

In the evening, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.

Wen Jingxi was sitting in the chair on the farthest side, separated from Tao Fu by grandparents, cousins, uncles and other people.

During commercial time, he rolled cigarettes for Grandpa Tao Fu, his hands moving beautifully as if he was filming a movie.Grandpa thought he was wearing thin clothes, so he put a big pig-liver red padded jacket on him, and he put it on without saying a word.After watching the sketch after the commercial, he laughed out loud with his grandfather, they were so gregarious.

After the little cousin peeked at him many times out of the corners of her eyes, she leaned into Tao Fu's ear and said, "Strange, brother Jingxi seems to be in a good mood this time."

Returning to Guangzhou after the Spring Festival, Wen Jingxi drove overnight and let Tao Fu sleep in the back seat.

Go back to the community, open the door and turn on the light to enter the house.

Tao Fu rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw Wen Jingxi put his luggage away, he gave him a tired smile.

Tao Fu, who was in good spirits after a full sleep, felt guilty, stepped forward, looked up at him, and said, "Tired, aren't you? Shall I rub your back?"

Wen Jingxi pinched his face and said, "I'll take a shower first."

Wen Jingxi went to take a bath. Tao Fu sat on the sofa and looked down at his side. His turmeric padded jacket and Wen Jingxi's white down jacket were lying together intimately. Suddenly he was in a good mood, and he smiled silly...

The next day, the two stayed at home for a whole day and finally regained their spirits.

At night, looking out from the balcony of a high-rise building, you can see grand fireworks being set off on Linjiang Square.

After Tao Fu looked at it for a long time, he walked back to the room and walked to Wen Jingxi who was sitting on the sofa and operating the computer.

"What's wrong?" Wen Jingxi raised her head and asked with a smile.

"There are fireworks in the square outside, should we go and see?" Tao Fu wrung his hands and looked at him and said.

Wen Jingxi's smile paused, showing hesitation.

"Aren't you going?" Tao Fu's eyes dimmed.

"I don't like excitement," Wen Jingxi smiled, closed the computer, took his coat and stood up, "However, if you want to go, I can go with you."

"...Yeah." Tao Fu pursed his lips and nodded, and went out with him.

A few minutes later, the two walked out of the community and arrived at the corner of the square.

The sky in the distance was brilliant with fireworks, but the corners of the square were dark, with only a few faint lights flickering from cold stars.

"Brother." Tao Fu walked behind, stopped suddenly, and called Wen Jingxi who was still walking forward.

"What's wrong?" Wen Jingxi turned around and asked.

"If you don't like excitement, don't force it." Tao Fu lowered his head and said.

"It's not forced." Wen Jingxi walked in front of him, stretched out his hand to support his face, and stared into his eyes, "I don't like excitement, but I like you."

As soon as the words fell, Tao Fu raised his head, looked at him with wide eyes, and a big tear fell from his eyes.

Wen Jingxi quickly reached out to catch it, and wiped it with a tissue.

Tao Fu's eyes gleamed with water, and he let him move in a daze. After staying for two seconds, he suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Wen Jingxi patted Tao Fu's back and asked softly.

"I like you." Tao Fu hugged him tightly with both hands, buried his face on his shoulder, and replied in a muffled voice.

There was a coolness on his shoulders, the shirt was soaked by Tao Fu's tears, Wen Jingxi was startled, pushed Tao Fu away, and gently raised his hand to wipe his tears.

Tao Fu turned his face away in embarrassment, bit his lip and remained silent.

Wen Jingxi held Tao Fu's face with both hands, his eyes fell on the shallow dimple on his right cheek, he lowered his head, and kissed him lightly there.

The movement as light as a feather made Tao Fu tremble like an electric shock, his face was so red that he lowered his head again, his eyes looked at his toes, but his ears clearly heard Wen Jingxi's next words.

"I like you too."

In a convenience store during the day.

Wen Jingxi was sitting at the high table by the window, waiting for the phone to ring.

"Today's naive blue." Yin Qi beside him spoke to him.

"Really?" Wen Jingxi smiled, and looked down at the phone again, but there was still no movement.

"The sun is so big today." Yin Qi said again.

"Really?" Wen Jingxi still smiled.

"You're not actually listening to me, are you?" Yin Qi raised his voice.

"Really?" Wen Jingxi said, lowering her head, lighting up the phone and unlocking it.

"Hello!" Yin Qi rapped the table heavily with a can of red guava juice in his hand.

When the phone rang, Wen Jingxi's whole body was refreshed and her eyes lit up. She picked up the phone and said in a very flat tone, "Well, I've already bought it, and I'll be home later...Huh? It's ok..."

Yin Qi was dumbfounded, and put his ear close to his cell phone to eavesdrop.

Wen Jingxi stretched out her index finger to poke Yin Qi's forehead to push him away, then covered his mouth where he wanted to speak, and then let go after talking with a smile and hanging up the phone.

"Who is it?" Yin Qi was puzzled.

"Tao Fu." Wen Jingxi put down his phone, picked up a can of peach soda, took a sip, and then answered.

"You dote on him so much?!" Yin Qi was surprised.

"He's my younger brother." Wen Jingxi replied.

"It's not just like that, is it?" Yin Qi looked suspiciously.

"Otherwise?" Wen Jingxi smiled.

Yin Qi leaned forward, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "You... smell like chocolate biscuits."

Wen Jingxi smiled helplessly, "You really..."

Yin Qi bit the straw to drink the guava juice, and smiled triumphantly, "You have sharp eyes, don't you? I think so too."

At this moment, the phone beeped again.

Wen Jingxi quickly unlocked the screen, opened WeChat, and saw a photo sent by Tao Fu.

In the photo, it is a vegetable field in the corner of the cafe yard. A small tomato plant bears a small fruit, which shines in the sun and is as transparent as a ruby.

Tao Fu made a smiling face and said: I want to eat it together when my brother comes home.

Wen Jingxi smiled and replied: I will go home right away.
