talk about wine

Chapter 53 (2 more)

Wan Qingyan looked at the person who was already slim compared to the little girl in her memory, and felt mixed feelings for a moment, "How are you doing?" Just saying that made her feel annoyed, both parents died and the family lost everything, so they had to go back to Zhoujia Village How can it be good if a person can't speak in his life.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingwu nodded with a smile on his face, which meant that he was having a good time.Wan Qingyan thought she didn't want to say something to comfort herself, and just about to say something, Zhou Qingwu pointed at the line selling cakes, Wan Qingyan smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you, we haven't seen each other for so many years, let's catch up."

Zhou Qingwu didn't know how to explain it to her. After being together with Meng Chuxi for so long, she almost forgot that she had trouble communicating with others.But it was getting late, and she was worried that Meng Chuxi was hungry, so she could only buy the cakes first.

This pancake shop is a time-honored shop, and a pancake is full of weight, with stuffing inside.Zhou Qingwu looked at the tag above, and bought a piece of stuffed meat and a piece of dried prunes. Fearing that Meng Chuxi would not be full, he thought about buying a small pancake, a total of [-] copper coins.

Wan Qingyan watched Zhou Qingwu take out the money bag from his arms, take out the copper coins from it to give to the boss, and then rolled the cake and put it in the oil paper to hold, suddenly felt a little sour in the eyes.

In my memory, Zhou Qingwu has been held in the hands of her parents since she was a child, and she lacks everything, except that when children are mischievous, they will play without any scruples and dirty their clothes. At other times, she is as delicate as a porcelain doll. Zhou Qingwu didn't even dare to think about it.

After picking up the things, Zhou Qingwu walked over, but he wasn't too close to her. She lifted the things in her hands and patted them to indicate the smell.

Wan Qingyan's eyes became more and more unbearable, "Have you not eaten your lunch yet?" She bought a lot, and it didn't look like she ate it alone. Could it be that there are other people in the family?Is she married?Then I thought about it again, in Zhou Qingwu's situation, it should be very difficult to talk about kissing again.

Zhou Qingwu nodded, and made gestures to make her understand.

Wan Qingyan hesitated: "Are you busy now?"

Zhou Qingwu lifted the cake in his hand, Wan Qingyan understood.

"It's hard for you to come to Jiangyin County, do you have any companions? Well, I'll go with you, and we'll go to the loft to have dinner together. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Let's have a good chat, okay?" Wan Qingyan didn't want her to have lunch Just eating this cake, I couldn't help but open my mouth.

Seeing that Zhou Qingwu looked a little hesitant, she quickly answered: "Don't refuse me first, I know you are in a hurry, let's go there first, even if you don't eat, at least let me know your current situation, okay?"

Although she and Wan Qingyan haven't seen each other for so many years, Wan Qingyan took good care of her when she was young, and the relationship between the two was very good. In her memory, only Wan Qingyan was her playmate. Even if she broke off contact, she couldn't refuse the other party's kindness.

Meng Chuxi, who was sitting there guarding the stall, realized that Zhou Qingwu had been away for a long time and hadn't come back. He was a little worried, but he was relieved when he saw a familiar figure in the distance.It's just that the little girl didn't come back alone, so she couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Zhou Qingwu saw Meng Chuxi walking quickly after standing up, and Wan Qingyan didn't keep up with her, so he watched her trot over and made gestures with the girl.

Zhou Qingwu felt a little apologetic: You must be starving, meeting acquaintances delayed your time, so hurry up and eat.

Meng Chuxi took the cake and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not hungry." After speaking, he looked at the girl in red standing not far away, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, does Zhou Qingwu have any friends in Jiangyin County?

Only then did Zhou Qingwu realize that he had left Wan Qingyan behind, and quickly explained to Meng Chuxi: She is the older sister of my neighbor's family in Jiangyin County. She left Jiangyin County a few years ago and met today.

No wonder, Meng Chuxi understood, looked at Zhou Qingwu with a warm smile on his face: "I should have a good relationship with Qingwu." This should be the first time I saw Zhou Qingwu in contact with her peers, and the girl's eyes when she looked at Zhou Qingwu, Full of melancholy, but also sour in happiness, it can be seen that I haven't seen feelings for so many years.

Zhou Qingwu suddenly felt embarrassed, and nodded slightly.

Meng Chuxi put down the food and accompanied Zhou Qingwu over there: "Okay, we can't leave others alone."

Wan Qingyan watched Zhou Qingwu running in front of that girl, her eyes sparkling, her expression was gentle, her every frown and breath was filled with that kind of dependence and love that couldn't be ignored, which made her a little stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until Meng Chuxi came over that Wan Qingyan could fully see Zhou Qingwu's partner, and she couldn't help but be amazed, this girl was really good-looking.Wan Qingyan saw her just now among such a group of street vendors. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she couldn't help but had a delicate face with red lips and white teeth. It was completely unimaginable that she came out of the countryside to make a living. A difficult daughter.

Meng Chuxi saw Wan Qingyan with a thin smile on her face, "Just now Qingwu told me that you were her playmate when she was young, and it is not convenient for her to communicate now, so I will convey it to her, I hope you will not Think I'm abrupt."

Wan Qingyan glanced at Zhou Qingwu and laughed too: "I'm serious, my surname is Wan, my name is Qingyan, and I can be regarded as Qingwu's older sister. I don't know what your name is, girl?"

"Meng Chuxi."

"Meng Chuxi, a good name. I'm a few years older than Qingwu, and I look older than you, so I'll call you Chuxi." Wan Qingyan has a cheerful personality, and she speaks kindly, making people feel good about her.

Meng Chuxi nodded with a slight smile, turned to look at Zhou Qingwu, and asked her what she planned to do next.

Wan Qingyan hurriedly said: "I know you haven't had lunch yet, it's getting late, why don't we go to the attic to eat slowly? I'll ask my servants to look after the things for you and sell them. My house is nearby, so don't delay."

Zhou Qingwu pursed her lips and looked at Meng Chuxi as if asking for help. Wan Qingyan was also a little anxious. She really missed Zhou Qingwu, but now that Zhou Qingwu's life was so difficult, she was worried that her self-esteem would be hurt, so she looked at Meng Chuxi for a while.

Meng Chuxi patted Zhou Qingwu's hand reassuringly, and nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble Miss Wan." Although Wan Qingyan was close in her words, it was the first time they had met, and this closeness was also due to Zhou Qingwu, so she still had a sense of proportion. .

Wan Qingyan didn't worry too much about it, she mainly wanted to talk to Zhou Qingwu, ever since she found out about her situation, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and she had been thinking about how to help her for the past two days, but now that she met her, naturally she couldn't just go So let her go back.

Wan Qingyan quickly called the servant over. After Meng Chuxi told the servant the price of the bamboo shoots and bracken and thanked him, he took Zhou Qingwu and prepared to leave together.

"I'm not familiar with Jiangyin." Meng Chuxi stood back slightly and said in a low voice.

Zhou Qingwu reacted and reached out to hold her, and the three of them went to the loft together.Wan Qingyan originally wanted to invite the two of them to have a meal, so the price she chose was not cheap, but the dishes were also first-class.

After they were seated, Wan Qingyan asked the two of them to order, and Meng Chuxi said, "If Miss Wan wants to eat, order first. I haven't been here before, so I don't know much about the dishes here."

Wan Qingyan had already eaten it, but she couldn't say it directly, she just said: "I haven't been back for many years, but I don't know if the dishes have been changed in Taige, Xiaoer." She called the waiter and asked him to introduce Xiatai signature dish.

After hearing this, she smiled and said, "It seems that although there are some new products, most of them are old flavors. I'm not hungry yet, and you are probably hungry. Just order."

Meng Chuxi turned to look at Zhou Qingwu, "You should have been here before, do you want to eat? Come and order."

Zhou Qingwu shook his head and gestured: I can do anything, you see what you like.Sister Wan likes the Wuyue soup here, so you can order one.

Meng Chuxi glanced at her, and finally nodded, recalling what Xiao Er said, and ordered four dishes, except for Wuyue soup, the other was a silver pancake, squirrel mandarin fish, and a seasonal vegetable.

"Qingwu said that you like Wuyue soup, do you have any other taboos?"

Wan Qingyan shook her head, and originally planned to talk about Zhou Qingwu's favorite dishes in the past, but among the four dishes Meng Chuxi ordered, squirrel mandarin fish and silver cakes were indeed Zhou Qingwu's favorites, so she couldn't help being a little stunned.But Zhou Qingwu still remembers that she likes this dish, she is still happy.

On the other side, Zhou Qingwu tugged Meng Chuxi, and wrote a word on her palm, meat.Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing, probably because she ate meat too much on weekdays, which made the little girl think that she was fond of meat.

"I like it very much, it's okay." After she said that, she gestured, "You and your sister Wan have a good chat, and I'm waiting to have a good meal."

Zhou Qingwu smiled at Wan Qingyan with some embarrassment, and looked at her obediently.Wan Qingyan watched her every move, and it was not difficult to find that Zhou Qingwu liked this Meng Chuxi very much. Even when facing her, her eyes would always subconsciously look for Meng Chuxi. She couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in her heart. Not so.

Suppressing this strange feeling, Wan Qingyan took a deep breath, "Qingwu, I only learned about you in the past two days. How can you make a living by yourself now? Do you rely on selling those dry goods?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, glanced at Meng Chuxi and gestured slowly.

Meng Chuxi kept looking at her, and then repeated her meaning for her.

"You two are living together now? Chuxi, where is your family?" Wan Qingyan was a little puzzled.

"I had some accidents before, and I was rescued by Qingwu when I was exiled to Zhoujia Village. Because I forgot many things, I was taken in by Qingwu, and now we live together." It was troublesome for Zhou Qingwu to explain, and Meng Chuxi answered her.

"That's how it is. But Zhou's Village is remote. It may be very difficult for you two girls to live there. It's helpless to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. It's up to you two girls to go to the mountains to pick these seasonal things, dig herbs, and Not to mention it's tiring and dangerous, and you can't earn a lot of money, how can this work." After she finished speaking, she frowned tightly.

Zhou Qingwu hurriedly gestured: After Chuxi, we have no worries about food and clothing. Although it is hard work, it is still passable.

After Meng Chuxi finished speaking for her, she was interrupted by Wan Qingyan, "But Qingwu, you have had such a precious life in the past, and you have never suffered so much. I don't want you to just stay there like this. I was not here before, but now I am Come back, can you ask your sister to help you?"

"I'm married now, and my husband's family is also a big family in the capital, and the Wan family's business has also moved to the capital. This time, it's because my grandfather died of illness and wanted to go back to his hometown, so I returned to Jiangyin. In a month or two We are going back. My father and Uncle Zhou have a deep friendship, and he also misses you very much, and I am worried about you. I also know the rumors in the market. If you stay here, Qingwu, you will be ruined all your life."

Zhou Qingwu had been looking at Wan Qingyan all the time, but when she heard this, she smiled faintly.

"So, sister Wan, what do you mean?" It was Meng Chuxi who spoke, his voice was light and steady, as if he was simply conveying Zhou Qingwu's words.

Wan Qingyan took a breath to calm down, "Come back to the capital with me? I asked my father to adopt you as a adopted daughter. He also told me before that now that Uncle Zhou is gone, he wants to take care of you for Uncle Zhou. As long as you are willing, From now on, I will treat you as my own son, and I will also treat you as my own sister."

While talking, the food was already served. Meng Chuxi, who originally wanted to pick up vegetables for Zhou Qingwu, made a gesture with his hands, and then picked up a piece of tender fish belly meat and put it into Zhou Qingwu's bowl without a trace, but he was too quiet.

Zhou Qingwu glanced at Meng Chuxi from the corner of his eye, but he didn't see anything strange on her face, and couldn't help but feel a little sour, but seeing the sweet fish in the dishes was really complicated for a while.

"Qingwu?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Wan Qingyan called her.

Zhou Qingwu hurriedly regained his composure, gesturing: Thank you Sister Wan and Uncle Wan for their kindness, I am living a really good life, my parents are still here, my family is here, I can't leave.

She gestured, and then secretly glanced at Meng Chuxi. Meng Chuxi returned quickly and conveyed her meaning to Wan Qingyan.

Wan Qingyan looked a little anxious, she realized something, and quickly said: "You and Chu Xi have a deep relationship, then you can go together, the Wan family has a big business, you and Chu Xi are not ordinary women who are not knowledgeable, and you can go there if you go. There is a chance to do something else. Maybe, you can resume your parents' previous business."

Zhou Qingwu wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Wan Qingyan, "I know my worries and thoughts, Qingwu, you trust me, don't reject me so quickly. I know this is too sudden, but I really miss you Better off, I'll give you time to think it through, okay?"

Zhou Qingwu was actually very touched. They hadn't seen each other for four years, and when they met again, she could still remember herself and even promised to help herself. She was really happy from the bottom of her heart.But she really didn't want to rely on others, especially after what happened to the Song family.But Wan Qingyan said that, she couldn't say she was dead, so she could only keep silent.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's just treat it as commonplace and talk about other things." Wan Qingyan didn't press too hard, and told her with a smile what she had experienced in the capital these years.Zhou Qingwu couldn't speak, and mostly listened, and occasionally he was made to laugh by Wan Qingyan.

Compared with Meng Chuxi, she was much quieter. She only conveyed a few words for Zhou Qingwu when necessary, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After eating a meal for more than half an hour, seeing that they were almost done eating, Meng Chuxi got up to pay the bill, but Wan Qingyan hurriedly stopped her, "I've agreed to invite you, how can I ask you to pay."

Meng Chuxi looked gentle, "This is also Qingwu's meaning. You haven't seen each other for so many years. You return to your hometown from Kyoto. You should be our host. Miss Wan, don't refuse."

Why didn't Wan Qingyan know their current situation, and she became anxious for a while, "It's too expensive in the attic, this meal..." After she finished speaking, she felt that this was not a good thing, and quickly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, it's just... "

"We understand, but Miss Wan didn't use it very much. We all feel shameless when we say that we are asking you. Qingwu has always been frugal, and he would never come here for dinner on weekdays. Today, I borrowed your face to bring her here. Eat. She likes the food here very much, and today she is reunited with her former sister next door, so the money is well spent."

After finishing speaking, she went to pay the bill. Wan Qingyan wanted to say something else, but Zhou Qingwu stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, shaking her to stop her.

At this moment, Meng Chuxi turned her head and saw this scene, and her eyes paused for a moment on Wan Qingyan's hand before she looked back.
