Sad autumn

Woke up by fright, then fell asleep again in a daze, and woke up again by fright, and then he gave up, didn't go to sleep, turned off the sound of the TV, watched movies like color silent movies, and ate cigarettes one after another.Qiu Mingchuan slept soundly. He woke up at eight o'clock and took Tuchun to eat breakfast.

Aunt Xuexue had already woken up and was cutting fruit in the restaurant kitchen in dark clothes. The room smelled of beetroot and kale.Qiu Mingchuan asked for thick French toast by name. Tuchun had no appetite and didn't want anything. He poured himself a cup of hot water, let it cool down, drank warm water, and ate various nuts on the small plate on the table.On the long dining table, there are also confused fruit and vegetable juices, orange juice, coffee, baked multigrain toast, round and beautifully packaged chocolates, various bottles and jars, honey, hazelnut jam, strawberry jam ah.

Qiu Mingchuan drank coffee, he and Tuchun sat quietly, one put his arm on the table and ate walnuts, the other leaned against the table and looked outside.The sky showed some blue face, smoke and clouds flew by, and the green mountains flowed far away.The doors and windows of the restaurant were closed tightly, the smell of eggs wafted up, the air became hotter, and soon became hotter - the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in casual clothes came in. He was Qiu Mingchuan's second uncle , wearing sunglasses, with black hair, the arms and calves exposed outside the short-sleeved shorts are very strong, and they are shiny from the sun.He sat down opposite Tuchun and took off his glasses, so that he could see some traces of time around his eyes.

The toast that Qiu Mingchuan wanted was ready, and the second uncle handed him maple syrup, but he didn't want it, so he brought a box of sea urchin and a can of caviar from the refrigerator.He first spread a layer of sea urchin on the toast, and then kept digging caviar on it.Tuchun looked at him, Qiu Mingchuan shrugged.

The second uncle smiled: "Be careful of high cholesterol."

Qiu Mingchuan said: "What are you afraid of? I'm still young. It won't be too late to worry about cholesterol when I reach your age. When I live to your age, I will have lived enough. I can die long ago without regrets." .” He took a big bite out of the toast, chewing exaggeratedly, but did not make a loud noise.

Tuchun smiled, bowed his head and counted the pine nuts.

The second uncle eats oatmeal porridge with boiled eggs, and while sprinkling black chia seeds into the porridge, he asks Tuchun, "Don't Xiaotu eat something?"

Qiu Mingchuan said: "He can't understand that we have hands and feet and want to enslave others to support us."

Tuchun hurriedly explained: "No, I'm not very hungry."

Qiu Mingchuan bit his lips and smiled, and arched him.The second uncle asked Tuchun again: "Did you paint Chinese paintings?"

Before Tuchun could answer, Qiu Mingchuan said, "That's right! His dad learned from Qi Baishi, and he learned from his dad, and he is the best at drawing shrimp! Why don't you ask him to go to your farm to draw your shrimp?"

Tu Chun whispered beside him: "I'm not an artist..."

The second uncle looked at him and nodded: "Oh, that's fine."

Qiu Mingchuan asked bluntly, "What's the matter?"

The second uncle fell silent, ate porridge with a smile, opened the newspaper on the table, and opened it to read.

Qiu Mingchuan's parents came in later, and Tuchun stood up to greet them: "Hello, Uncle, Hello, Auntie."

Qiu Lao and Hong Se smiled one after another, one sat down near the door, and the other sat near the window, each pouring juice and coffee into their respective cups.

Qiu Mingchuan said: "Don't worry about it, artists are just so rude, out of gregarious, and have low EQ, so their biographies are easy to write."

Hong Se asked him, "When will things be ready?"

Qiu Mingchuan looked at Tuchun and said, "Relying on my mother's relationship, I went through the back door and sold Quasimodo."

He covered half of his face, and Tuchun whispered, "Is it really The Clock Tower Freak?"

Qiu Mingchuan let out a laugh, put down the toast, leaned his wrist against the edge of the table, and rubbed his fingers.

Lisa and Jia Jin also came to have breakfast.Qiu Lao ate Western-style omelets, Hong Se wanted red quinoa and wild rice salad, Lisa ordered a bowl of yogurt, some granola and half a grapefruit, Jia Jin also ate Western-style omelettes, and asked for two more than Qiu Lao. Slices of bacon and some chips.

No one was talking at the dinner table. The second uncle and Mr. Qiu buried their heads in reading the newspaper. Hong Se slowly browsed through "National Geographic". Looking back, Jia Jin stretched his legs and sat for a while, grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, and changed his sitting position.

Qiu Mingchuan said, "Look at our house, isn't it nice? No one uses their mobile phones during meals."

Jia Jin's french fries were finally fried and put on the table. He squeezed ketchup onto the plate, and with two puffs, a large ball of ketchup was spread limply on the white porcelain plate.Hong Se picked up the glass to drink the juice, but Lisa's hand shook for some reason, and the big spoon she was holding fell to the ground. She apologized quickly, pushed away the yogurt, and ate the sliced ​​grapefruit with a small fork.Jia Jin peeled a piece of chocolate and handed it to her, Lisa stretched out her hand, Hong Se put down the cup with a knock, Lisa stood up in response, said excuse me, and went to the toilet.

Qiu Mingchuan said: "She is pregnant now, you can't ask her to weigh ninety pounds before she gave birth, and still ninety pounds after giving birth. She is your daughter, not a skeleton."

Hong Se ate the salad calmly, and her voice did not fluctuate. She said: "She is too fat and will lose her job."

Jia Jin smiled and agreed: "Xiao Chuan, you also know that ballet competition is very fierce."

"Shut up." Qiu Mingchuan glared at Jia Jin. Jia Jin was still smiling, but he did not make a sound.It didn't take long for Lisa to come back. She was holding a tissue and kept wiping her mouth. A small piece of her collar was wet, and some drops of water were also on her chin.Tuchun asked Qiu Mingchuan softly, "Why don't you go back and watch a movie?"

Qiu Mingchuan ignored him and didn't look at him. He looked at Lisa and said, "Sometimes I really can't figure it out. Did you choose to dance ballet because of your morbid obsession with weight or did ballet make you become In this way," he looked at Tuchun again, "this woman will not be bound by the number on the bank card, regardless of the difference between 14, 24, and 34 years old, and will not be entangled in the size of the stone on her finger. Only those few numbers jumping up and down on the scale can make her die or live."

Old Qiu said: "Speak less when eating."

Qiu Mingchuan said, "You don't need to talk if you don't want to talk."

At this time, the second uncle came to talk to Tuchun again: "Xiao Chuan is quite talented. I thought he would learn music, but I didn't expect that he would take the road of art in the end."

Qiu Mingchuan jumped up and took down a violin hanging on the wall: "Okay, now is the time for the talent show, isn't it? Kid Qiu Mingchuan will show you the violin, okay? Don't you like it very much? During the meal Somebody make some music, so instead of trying to find something to talk about at dinner, let's talk about music."

He swung the bow and picked up the violin. He really knew how to play, and he played it very freely and with great concentration. He closed his eyes, the strings trembled slightly, and his fingers vibrated in the air.

After the performance of the song, only the second uncle clapped his hands, but Qiu Mingchuan was unhappy when he heard the applause, and walked out with a frown. Hanging the violin outside the yacht, Qiu Mingchuan grabbed it tightly, retching.Tuchun went over to pat him on the back, he heard someone knocking on the window behind him, and when he looked back, it was Hong Se, a lean and thin woman who said to them through the window: "Don't dirty the piano, someone else gave it to you." .”

Tuchun turned back, he brushed Qiu Mingchuan's hair to look, he spit out something, his mouth was dirty.He bent over, lay on his stomach, and looked into the distance with ecstasy.

Tuchun said, "Go in, the wind is so strong."

Qiu Mingchuan wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, suddenly smiled, and glanced at Tuchun: "I really want to fall in love with you, but you don't seem to want to, you are a bit like someone who is related to me by blood. The appearance makes me not know whether to develop love or family relationship with you, but in fact there is no difference in essence, right? It’s just different forms of emotional sustenance.”

Tu Chun thought for a while, and Yuan Gui said, "Go in..."

Qiu Mingchuan opened a hand against the wind: "Tuchun, what kind of boyfriend do you want to find? Tell me about it. I'll help you think about whether there are such people around me. Let me introduce you I know you." He turned his face to look at Tuchun: "What is your love like?"

"Why don't you talk? Can't think of it? Have you thought about it seriously? You only think about it when you are doing nothing, pass the time, pretend that you have something to think about, and when you get busy, you are busy eating and sleeping , busy with work, busy with this, busy with that, who would think about love, throwing it away is nothing to lose, unlike clothes, you will be cold if you don’t wear it, unlike rice, you will be hungry if you don’t eat, in the final analysis, It’s optional, isn’t it? There’s no need to die without love, love, and love doesn’t mean you can die, you can die. You say I’m not looking for a boyfriend, what about you? "

The cicada screamed, and a snow-white shadow flashed past.

Is it Di Qiu?

Like Di Qiu.

Tuchun didn't make any sound, completely silent, quiet.At this moment, Qiu Mingchuan's second uncle came towards them. He approached, wanting to get the violin that Qiu Mingchuan was still holding, but his hand touched Qiu Mingchuan's, and Qiu Mingchuan shrank back abruptly, Get close to Tuchun.Tuchun came back to his senses, embraced his shoulders, took the violin from his hand and handed it to the second uncle.

The second uncle looked at them and smiled: "I didn't have a chance to say yesterday, Xiao Chuan, happy birthday, Xiao Tu, Xiao Chuan will be taken care of by you in the future."

Qiu Mingchuan turned his head and vomited again.

The second uncle went back into the dining room. Through the window, Tuchun saw that he had put the violin back on the wall. The second uncle also saw Tuchun, smiled and waved to him.Tuchun felt nauseated for no reason, and he helped Qiu Mingchuan to the deck.Qiu Mingchuan found a recliner and sat down, holding his arms in the air while Tuchun took off his coat and put it on for him.Qiu Mingchuan laughed: "What did I tell you yesterday, you are going to die alone forever like this."

Tuchun said, "Did you not get drunk yesterday?"

"Not everyone will lose their memory when they get drunk!" Qiu Mingchuan said, "I have a very good memory and remember things very clearly."

His voice was blown by the wind and ran around, piercing Tuchun's ears like thorns, Tuchun lit a cigarette, and Qiu Mingchuan took turns eating the cigarette.

The sun came out, the sun was hot and warm, they were still sitting, and when they saw the pier on the shore, Qiu Mingchuan jumped up, rushed into the restaurant, and rushed out again quickly, holding something in his arms, and took the Something was thrown over the stern.He patted the railing and laughed, and Tuchun went over to see a violin floating on the lake, and the dense water waves rolled over it, and it was soon covered by fine white foam.

Hong Se came out, she looked at Qiu Mingchuan, said nothing, walked to the stern, raised the camera in her hand, knelt down halfway, pointed the camera at the lake, adjusted the focus, and took a few photos in succession, Then he walked away again.

Qiu Mingchuan opened his arms to blow the air, leaned back, and said freely: "I remembered, we should eat cakes and longevity noodles."

Tuchun said, "I ate two bowls of noodles last night."

"Oh, then treat it as if I have eaten it too, and you share a bowl with me."

Tuchun said again: "Our family doesn't eat sea urchin caviar and the like, is it okay?"

Qiu Mingchuan shouted: "It seems that we really can't be a couple!!"

Wednesday came in a blink of an eye.Tuchun got off work half an hour early, rode his bicycle fast, and returned home early.Jasmine was still cooking, and when she saw Tuchun, she was taken aback: "Nang Ge Nang, come here early?" (Why did you come back so early?)

Tuchun stood changing his shoes, rubbed his swollen calves, and said, "I'm going to make an appointment for the Ning family to have dinner." (I made an appointment to have dinner with someone else today.)

Jasmine got angry: "Nangfei, please tell me earlier! Come cook my dishes!" (Why didn't you tell me sooner! I'm cooking all the dishes!)

Tuchun said: "It's a good deal, please come to the house to eat." (It's a good deal to invite that person to come to the house to eat.)

Jasmine became even angrier, with frowning eyebrows, she tugged on her apron, and quit: "Gemo, you should help me explain Gewei sooner! It doesn't matter if the Ni family can eat whatever they want, please invite the Ning family to dinner..." She swept the kitchen , turned off the stove with small steps, and said with akimbo: "I'll go to the small vegetable market to buy some cooked vegetables." She grabbed the key and coin purse and was about to go out. Tuchun stopped her and said, "Eat whatever you want." Tusk."

(Then you should tell me earlier! It doesn’t matter if we eat whatever we want, we invite others to eat...) (I’ll go to the vegetable market to buy some cooked vegetables.) (Just eat whatever you want.)

Jasmine waved her hands and shook her head, refusing to say anything, she was already changing her shoes, she muttered and complained to Tuchun, and muttered, "What a real guy! I'm going to kill half a saltwater goose, what a friend! Eat lungs and intestines? There are still some vermicelli in the house, buy some and cook intestines and lungs soup." (You are also serious! I will chop up half a saltwater goose, does your friend eat lungs and intestines? There are still some at home Fans, I’ll buy some and come back and cook some intestine and lung soup.)

Tuchun looked at her and said, "People have already come downstairs, so you can eat whatever you want in the house." (You are already downstairs, so you can eat whatever you want at home.)

Jasmine opened her mouth, and poked Xia Tuchun's forehead bitterly: "You little dead man!"

Tuchun smiled, put the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, and brought out the dishes prepared in the kitchen one by one.Jasmine set up the dinner together, took a spoon, took a dipping dish to adjust the spicy oil and sesame oil, and inadvertently asked a question: "Ah, it's Mama An's Haohao?" (Is it Haohao from Mama An's house?)

Tuchun's hands trembled, he stood by the dining table, and said, "I'm quite familiar with Mama An." (You and Mama An are pretty familiar.)

Jasmine shook her shoulders, twisted her waist, rolled her eyes, and spoke Mandarin, "Business partner, okay?"

Tuchun went into the kitchen to serve rice, and when he turned on the rice cooker, the mung beans smelled fragrant, and the steam dispersed. He could see clearly that there was mung bean porridge in the rice cooker, which was half dry and half wet, like mung bean rice.Tuchun served porridge and said, "Fu is a model." (No.)

Jasmine handed him a bowl, and responded: "Oh! Huatou is so busy!" (Oh! There are so many tricks!)

Tuchun smiled: "Fu Shige... I'm an ordinary friend. I heard that the dishes are cooked well, so tell me a few words. I want to come over and have a taste." (No... Just an ordinary friend, I heard that your dishes are good, and told me several times, I think I should call him over to try.)

He added: "Well, in the house, Mommafu cooks rice." (In their house, his mother doesn't cook.)

Jasmine said: "Do you know Ge Xiaokai?" (Where did you know Xiaokai?)

Tuchun went out with two bowls of mung bean porridge, and the doorbell rang just in time. He went to open the door, but he didn't see Qiu Mingchuan's people, and there was a large bouquet of yellow roses in front of him.Qiu Mingchuan's voice came from behind the rose: "Don't stand there stupidly! Help me lift my things."

Tuchun looked up and down, took over the large bag of video discs that Qiu Mingchuan was carrying tremblingly, and went to pick up the roses he was holding in his arms.

"The flowers are for your mother, and the DVD is for you. Don't get me wrong, there are restricted-rated content in the DVD." Qiu Mingchuan finally showed his face. He was thinner than before, but full of energy. He looked at Tuchun's house with his neck down.

Tuchun put the flowers and the DVD down in the living room, and Qiu Mingchuan had already changed into his slippers and followed him into the house.Jasmine heard the noise, dragged her from the kitchen to the dining room, and then turned half of her body to look in the direction of the living room.When Tuchun was about to speak, Qiu Mingchuan smiled at Jasmine, raised his arms halfway, and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Auntie!"

Jasmine hurriedly puffed up her chest, stood up straight, wiped her hands on the apron, stroked her hair, glanced to the left and right, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, hello, hello, we have everything in our house." I didn't prepare, Tuchun is really, don't tell me in advance, I didn't cook the rice, I made mung bean porridge...fried up a few wontons, all wrapped by myself, there is really nothing to eat," she blamed again Tuchun, "Tuchun is really good too!!" She thought about it, walked towards the porch, shaking her head like a rattle, "Excuse me, I'll go buy some more cooked vegetables! Pig intestines, pig lungs, what do you eat? Stomach If you are hungry, eat some peach cakes to fill your stomach first, and seaweed twists, delicious, Tuchun! You can help your friend make a cup of tea!"

Tuchun was still holding the bouquet of roses, staring blankly at Qiu Mingchuan, who stopped Jasmine and said, "Auntie! Don't bother me! I'm not picky! Hey, the wontons you made are delicious! If you haven’t eaten, I’m not being polite!”

He sat down talking to himself, Jasmine prepared simple dinner dishes today, mung bean porridge, fried wontons, cold mung bean sprouts, but there was a meat dish, stir-fried chicken with raw chestnuts, added some red peppers, and it was still steaming.

Jasmine called Tuchun loudly again: "What are you doing with the flowers! Wash your hands and eat!"

Tuchun said, "Where do you put the flowers?"

Jasmine walked into the kitchen and said, "Of course you put the flowers in a vase and put them up! Hey, let me scramble an egg for you. The duck eggs I bought yesterday are very big and very fragrant."

She was busy in the kitchen, and she did not forget to command Tuchun with the remote control: "There is a vase in the study, go to the bathroom to get some water, cut the stem with scissors, and cut it diagonally!"

Tuchun ran to the study room, then to the bathroom, and went to the balcony to find scissors. After a lot of work, he stuffed the yellow rose into a vase.Jasmine's duck eggs were also fried. Tuchun went to the kitchen to wash his hands. Before coming out, he took a plate of steamed squid eggs from the refrigerator and put them on the dining table.Jasmine was so angry that she taught Tuchun a lesson: "What are you doing with the overnight vegetables! Put them back and put them back!"

"Aren't you afraid of not having enough food?"

"Not good, not good, overnight dishes are not tasty." Jasmine snatched the plate, covered the plastic wrap that wrapped the dish again, and stuffed it back into the refrigerator.

Tu Chun looked at Qiu Mingchuan, who grinned while biting his chopsticks, his mouth was full of oil, and half of the fried wontons piled high on the table were gone.When Jasmine came out and saw it, she rubbed her hands together and said, "You eat, you eat, Auntie will fry some more." She turned her head and asked Tuchun with a serious face, "Have you washed your hands?"

"It's been washed!" Tuchun sat down, and Jasmine chased after her, "You don't even ask me what I want to drink!"

Tuchun asked Qiu Mingchuan: "Do you want something to drink? Orange juice or Coke?"

Qiu Mingchuan said, "Drink the water."

Tuchun nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the bowl. Jasmine snorted, and Tuchun's ears moved. He was afraid of her. He went to the kitchen and poured three glasses of water, one iced, one warm, one hot, Give it all to Qiu Mingchuan.Only then did Jasmine walk away satisfied.

Qiu Mingchuan covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes curled up. Tuchun said, "My mother is a bit wordy."

Qiu Mingchuan said, "Your mother's cooking is so delicious."

Tu Chun said: "Yes, that's why he divorced my dad, and I lived with her."

Qiu Mingchuan said solemnly, "Don't joke about this kind of thing, okay?"

Tuchun took two mouthfuls of porridge and asked, "You don't want those discs anymore?"

Qiu Mingchuan drank ice water, looked at Jasmine in the kitchen who hadn't stopped for a moment, and said, "No, I saw you liked it the other day, so I brought it here for you."

The veins on Tuchun's forehead throbbed wildly. He pressed his temples and stared at Qiu Mingchuan.

Qiu Mingchuan patted him, and said relaxedly: "Don't worry, I'm not sorting out the relics, and I'm not here to eat the last supper. Quasimodo is done, and I'm going to send him to France."

"Really Quasimodo?" Tuchun opened his eyes wide.

Qiu Mingchuan laughed, while Tuchun frowned, not going further.

Jasmine came out with the freshly fried wontons. Qiu Mingchuan loved to eat these golden-fried wontons stuffed with shepherd's purse. He swallowed more than a dozen, and he couldn't eat any more. Aunt Su’s wontons are much more delicious, and Tuchun is lucky to eat your dishes every day, but is he a picky eater? If it were me, I would eat so much delicious food every day that I would have eaten them into balls.”

Tuchun said: "Our family is all thin genes."

Jasmine said: "His father has thin genes."

Tuchun hurriedly said: "I still have some flesh on my stomach, just my legs and hands. The exposed parts look thinner, like my mother."

Jasmine smiled happily, pointed to the chestnut chicken, and said, "Eat it, you eat it, this chicken breast is not very dry, you eat it."

Qiu Mingchuan ate a few more pieces of chicken, and then a few pieces of chestnuts were finished. He cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, looked at the time, and said to Tuchun, "I have a plane at twelve o'clock in the evening."

"Flying from Pudong?"

Jasmine said: "Huh? Then it's going to go wrong now. I even packed some quick-frozen wontons for you to take back to eat."

Qiu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I'm really sorry, Auntie, when I come back, can I come to your house for dinner again?"

"What are you talking about! Of course you can! You are so thin, is it something from abroad or is it not delicious at home? Really don't eat any more? Oh, that's right, I'll wash some winter jujube and bring it to you Eat it on the road! Very sweet."

Jasmine got up as soon as she said that, Tuchun and Qiu Mingchuan couldn't call him, she quickly washed the winter dates, stuffed them into a fresh-keeping bag, tied them up, and sent them to Qiu Mingchuan.The two said goodbye at the entrance, Tuchun wiped his mouth, and said to Qiu Mingchuan, "I'll take you downstairs."

Qiu Mingchuan opened the door with his backhand, and the person had already walked outside. Jasmine hurriedly urged Tuchun: "Damn, hurry up and change your shoes! Send it to Ning's family, hurry up, hurry up." (Really, hurry up and change your shoes Sending off to others, hurry up, hurry up.)

Tuchun also became anxious. The more anxious he was, the harder it was for his shoes to fit in. He propped himself on the wall and jumped up and down on one foot.

Jasmine was in a hurry and kept urging: "Hurry up!"

Tu Chun said: "Don't you be in a hurry!"

Qiu Mingchuan laughed, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Auntie, can I give you a hug?"

After putting on the shoes, Tuchun raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Mingchuan. Qiu Mingchuan asked again, and Jasmine replied in a panic: "Auntie is full of oil."

She was not tall, and when she was talking to Qiu Mingchuan, she raised her head slightly. The apron on her body was still on, and her fluffy curly hair fell behind her ears, hugging her soft earlobes.

Qiu Mingchuan bent down and hugged Jasmine. He buried his head in Jasmine's neck and hugged her tightly.Jasmine froze for a moment, then opened her arms in response to the hug.She patted Qiu Mingchuan on the back lightly.

Tuchun said, "I'll take you downstairs."

Qiu Mingchuan and Jasmine separated, and he followed Tuchun downstairs.He walked faster than Tuchun, almost running, and said loudly to Tuchun: "Tuchun! I'm going to Paris to become Monsieur Merde!!"

Tuchun couldn't keep up with him, no matter how hard he tried, Qiu Mingchuan rushed downstairs happily and disappeared from his sight.

Tuchun stood downstairs. He searched for Qiu Mingchuan for a while, but couldn't find him, but he found Tuqing, the little aunt who was walking beside Tuqing pushing the battery cart, and the young one, who was walking beside Tuqing. The woman working in the cake shop, the three of them were walking together and talking, the little aunt and Tu Qing nodded when the woman said something.

Tuchun went upstairs, went in and changed his shoes, and said to Jasmine, "Ni, let's move to the park." (Let's move to the park.)

Jasmine was eating wontons, she looked at him and said, "How far is it to go to work?" (Isn't it too far for you to go to work?)

Tuchun said, "I wake up early." He thought for a while, and then said, "Really, I'm looking for another job."

(I get up early in the morning) (It doesn’t work, I’ll find another job.)

Jasmine took out two paper towels, wiped her mouth, and lowered her head to eat the vegetables, but there was no sound.

Tuchun sat back and continued to eat wontons and the last few chopsticks of mung bean sprouts left on the plate.
