Sad reminder Xiaobai

The days are leisurely and leisurely, and as soon as autumn enters, the cold winter comes one after another, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, alas, this place has beautiful mountains and rivers, but the weather is not so good.

When it gets hot, it will cause heat stroke every minute, and when it gets cold, Zhou Ji hardly wants to step out of the threshold.

A Niang opened the door curtain, came in with a plate, sat next to her, and passed the boiled spirits to the uncle. Seeing that the uncle was drinking happily, Zhou Ji was a little curious and wanted to try something new.

While A Niang was busy in the kitchen, the uncle got up, apparently going to sleep in his room.

Zhou Ji poured a small glass of wine, and took a sip.The taste is very strange. I thought I could drink beer anyway, so this wine should be fine.

The taste is very bitter, stick out your tongue, spit it out, pour a glass of warm water hastily with your hand, the taste in your mouth is barely lightened.

But originally nestled on the kang, I still felt a little cold, probably the strong wine was originally used to warm my body.Wearing a thick cotton coat, it slowly warmed up.

Zhou Ji couldn't stand the feverish sweating, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door, and happened to bump into A Niang.

He hurriedly lowered his head and shouted, "Mother, I'll go out!"

A Niang said worriedly, "I'm going to find Liang Nuona at this time, it's too cold outside, and it's still snowing outside, otherwise, wait until the snow stops before going."

Zhou Ji, with a messy head, replied, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'm going to Liangnuo, my sister's place to play."

Before the door curtain was lifted, A Niang hurriedly called Zhou Ji to stop, saying, "Hey, don't worry, put on your hat before going out."

Zhou Ji finally stepped over the threshold and walked in the alley, hearing the whistling sound of the wind blowing past, and the falling snowflakes were quite large.

Although the temperature is a bit low, the temperature is still quite comfortable.

Originally, I was just blowing the wind outside, but now, I really have nothing to do and find something to do. Why don't I go to Liang Nuo's and have a look.

Walking halfway, Zhou Ji did not meet many people, so he pushed open the door of Liang Nuo's house with some trepidation.

Looking into the kitchen, Liang Nuo didn't seem to be there, so should we go into the back room?

When Zhou Ji hesitated, Liang Nuo just came out from the back room, looked at it, and said, "Come in, it's so cold outside."

"okay."

After entering the back room, her father was sitting on the kang, Zhou Ji nodded, and followed Liang Nuo closely.

“Come and drink some hot water”

After taking the water glass she handed over, she pulled the chair beside her.

Looking at the notebooks, pens and ink placed on a small table in front of him, Liang Nuo brought a small plate of things, which should be similar to steamed flour balls.

He reached out to take a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, which was slightly mixed with some sweet and sour fruit juice.

Liang Nuo sat opposite, picked up a slender brush, and opened the book beside him. After Zhou Ji had nothing to do and ate two or three meals, he couldn't stand the boredom and glanced at what Liang Nuo wrote.

Well, most of these are actually incomprehensible to Zhou Ji.

"how?"

Originally, I didn't want to disturb her, but since I have already disturbed her, let's say it.

"what are you writing?"

She paused to write, dipped some ink, took out a new piece of paper, wrote on it, and then handed it to Zhou Ji, saying, "You, have a look."

Looking at the words placed squarely on the paper, well, Zhou Ji knew that these were two words, but no matter how he looked at them, he didn't have much impression.

Probably because Zhou Ji had been reading it for too long, Liang Nuo said, "These two words are pronounced as account book."

"Ledger?"

"That is, it records some records of the store's business and money." She added.

Well, Zhou Ji understood this explanation. Simply put, it was similar to an accountant.

Seeing her stop and write, no time to take care of himself, Zhou Ji naturally shifted his focus, and saw the inkstone quietly placed aside, things from TV dramas.

Although her heart was itchy, Zhou Ji didn't have the courage to touch it, she glanced at her father nestled on the kang, probably fell asleep.

Zhou Ji stuffed another piece of food into his mouth in boredom. Hearing the sound of snow hitting the window, the small stove was burning brightly, and the room slowly smelled of medicine.

Not long after, she stopped writing, packed her things, and asked in a low voice, "Are you bored?"

Zhou Ji nodded sincerely.

Looking at the things she had laid out, Liang Nuo soaked the pen in the clean water of the Xi bowl, washed it carefully, and said, "I do odd jobs at the Fulin shop in the town, and I have some money every month. Excluding the medical expenses, I can barely make up for it. Strong enough."

"Arnold, will you work there all the time, part-time job?"

Liang Nuo put the pen away, nodded his head, and said, "Maybe I won't go there until Dad recovers from his illness."

"But, it's far from the town." The trip alone would take about two hours. Zhou Ji also went to the town with A Niang last year, and the feet he walked almost didn't belong to him.

"It's a bit far away," she replied quietly, and there was no further text.

Zhou Ji rubbed his sore eyes and yawned, feeling sleepy.Seeing Liang Nuo shaking in front of his eyes, Zhou Ji watched in a vague way.

In a daze, as if his head was spinning around, this feeling reminded Zhou Ji that he used to buy a bottle of Erguotou in a dormitory with those roommates in a panic. In the end, he only drank a sip, and he was stunned. Afterwards, he probably just Unable to wake up.

The whole person is like stepping on cotton, and I can't exert any strength on my feet.

Like lying on the soft bed, the faint fragrance seems a little familiar.

Her voice seemed to be heard in my ears, "Hey, don't move the quilt, go to sleep."

Like a requiem spell, Zhou Ji's whole body seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, his head was dizzy and uncomfortable, he was half asleep and half awake, and fell asleep.

The quilt changed from cold to extremely warm, and Zhou Ji was even more reluctant to leave, his eyelids were so heavy that he didn't want to open them.

I don't remember how long I squinted, I vaguely heard the door open, there was a faint light, probably there was a figure shaking in front of me, Zhou Ji simply put his head under the blanket in boredom.

There was a small sound, and Zhou Ji didn't realize it until there seemed to be another person in the bed.

Turning around hastily, only to find that the surroundings are already dark, but fortunately, people around can always tell the difference.

"you're awake."

Liang Nuo asked.

"En..." Zhou Ji nodded, lying flat in embarrassment.

"Your mother came to see you just now, and it's still snowing outside, and it's too cold, so I'll let you sleep here."

"Are you not used to it, are you afraid?"

"No, I just feel like I've slept for a long time."

She smiled softly, and said, "Ah Ji, when will you learn to drink Jifu wine secretly."

Zhou Ji was half-faced, buried in the bed, and replied, "I only drank a little, order."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Seeing that she was not talking, Zhou Ji looked boredly at the dark room.

Because two people sleep, if you turn around, there will be a gap easily.

Zhou Ji could only grind himself slowly, and accidentally touched her arm, which was very cold.

She probably didn't fall asleep either, and said, "What? I can't fall asleep."

"kindness."

Carefully getting closer, wrapping her hand around her approaching left hand, and getting closer to her, Zhou Ji realized that not only was her hands cold, but her whole body was like a popsicle.

She was a little surprised and didn't move. It took a while to get used to it, and she leaned sideways and got slightly closer.

Zhou Ji couldn't tell whether the beating heartbeat was hers or his own. Isn't it normal for girls to warm each other's beds?

Zhou Ji was also lying sideways, because she moved her lower arm and shook the bell slightly, she reached out to touch the bell on Zhou Ji's wrist, and suddenly said

"Father, you don't want me to do odd jobs in Fulinpu."

Zhou Ji asked "Why?"

She moved her hand, gently rang the bell on the red string, and replied "Because, Dad said these are not good things."

Before Zhou Ji could react, she added, "Dad used to say that if A Nuo was a boy, he could go to school, take the provincial examination, and get a name."

Well, when it comes to this, Zhou Ji can understand, after all, her father is an intellectual, a businessman or something, so he looks down on her a bit.

"Well, Arnold, do you want to?"

She rubbed her head abruptly, and said, "I think, and the shopkeeper of Fulinpu is also very good. I want to learn how to manage the store business and account books."

"Then go."

She said, "Ah Ji, maybe you don't even know what I'm talking about, why did you let me go?"

"Because, I, if I think I want to learn, then go, like, I like to eat fish, so I will catch fish myself, right?"

"Well, it seems to make sense."

Zhou Ji lay flat, holding her hand as much as possible, although it may not be very effective.

She didn't speak anymore, and Zhou Ji didn't bother her, after all, she was very busy all day, so she should be very tired too.

Closing her eyes in boredom, she was drowsy and sleepy, wrapped tightly in the quilt, she was very close, so Zhou Ji didn't dare to move too much, after all, the quilt is not too big, and the two of them are still a bit small.

When she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely heard the small bell on her wrist ringing, and she raised her head slightly, lay down, as if she was getting closer, and leaned into her ear, and said softly

"Ah Ji, remember to always wear this red string."
