Plant peaches with uncle

Chapter 76: Old things

When Qin Chengyu came back, it was 06:30 in the evening. In this season, it was completely dark, and there was only a street lamp a few tens of meters away from the old house, emitting a faint light in the wind and rain.The lamp post next to the old house has been erected, and it will take two days to connect the line, so except for the small light of the voice-activated lamp, it is now completely dark here.

It was dark inside the house, Qin Chengyu frowned, where is Su Ruoyan?

Pushing open the car door, carrying the hot pot ingredients and various dishes packed from the city, Su Ruoyan said that he wanted to eat hot pot when he left in the morning, and he also named which one had which flavor. The hot pot restaurant there has been booked, and I made a detour to get it after work and only got it back now, otherwise I can make it half an hour earlier.

The strong wind was blowing light rain, and when the car door was opened, the face was covered with rainwater. The cold air stuck to the clothes and brought a biting chill. Qin Chengyu stood up with his collar, wrapped his coat tightly and walked inside. First, he pushed open the front door. Under the orange light of a floor lamp, Su Ruoyan was sitting on the sofa hugging a blanket, with a confused face, as if thinking about the root cause of "who am I and where am I".

The door was pushed open, and the flowing air stirred the dull warmth in the room, Su Ruoyan shivered from the cold, and completely woke up.

"Come back...cough cough..." Not long after waking up, her throat was still unopened, and she spoke very hoarsely.Clearing his throat, Su Ruoyan continued what he hadn't said before: "You're back, what time is it?"

Qin Chengyu turned on the light, "It's six forty. Why are you coughing!"

"Oh my god, it's so late!" Su Ruoyan threw the blanket and stood up, "I actually slept all afternoon and had dinner with Professor Jiang at noon. I don't know where he is now? I'm so sorry, I was talking to him Seeing me fall asleep, do you think I'm rude?"

"Call and ask. I'll take the hot pot ingredients to the kitchen and cook it first. You wash your face and have dinner later."

"Oh." Su Ruoyan took out the phone and lowered his head to call, hovering his fingers on the screen, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Chengyu, his eyes sparkled, "Hotpot!"

"Yeah, someone wants to eat it, so I bought it." In autumn and winter, the weather is dry, and when Su Ruoyan wants to eat hot pot, especially spicy hot pot, he refuses.

Su Ruoyan cheered, and ran to Qin Chengyu's side, put his arms around his neck and kissed his mouth, "Yeah, that's great, uncle, I'll have spicy hot pot at night, there's broth in the refrigerator, just mix it with some water."

Qin Chengyu pinched Su Ruoyan's upturned nose, "There is no spicy hot pot, I ordered fresh fish soup and health mushroom soup, and mandarin duck pot, which is lighter."

Su Ruoyan fell down on Qin Chengyu's body in despair, and buried her face in his chest, "I want spicy food, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat..." Infinite loop, broken thoughts, he is greedy for this now, and he wants to eat it so hot in the spicy soup The tender mutton rolls are wrapped with a thick dipping sauce. There must be sesame sauce in the dipping sauce, and put it in your mouth... "Eat, eat, eat, I want to eat."

Touching the back of Su Ruoyan's head, "There's no spicy soup, but I brought the special dipping sauce in the store. I asked to add more spicy oil, and I also asked for an extra bowl of sesame sauce prepared by them."

There is no spicy soup, but there are dipping sauces. Su Ruoyan is full of blood, urging Qin Chengyu to get it quickly. After taking such a long nap, he consumes too many calories. The food he ate at noon has long since disappeared. Now he super hungry. "Go quickly, I'll call Professor Jiang and wash my face."

As soon as Qin Chengyu stepped over the threshold with his things, Su Ruoyan dialed the phone, but the ringtone rang from the sofa, and he murmured strangely, "Did you forget your phone here? I'll send it over tomorrow."

Unable to reach anyone by phone, Su Ruoyan threw away her phone to wash her face, and ran to the kitchen quickly after washing and drying, "Daqin, what food did you bring? Do you have the enoki mushroom, beef roll, and lamb roll that I want, uh ..." The name of the dish was interrupted, and after seeing the situation in the kitchen clearly, he stabilized his body and glanced at the strange man with his glasses, "Professor, you are here. I called you just now. It rang on the sofa, I thought you forgot to bring it back here, and was thinking about sending it to you tomorrow."

Jiang Ran put down the teacup, the ice-cold tea made his fingers feel cold, his pale complexion looked bloodless under the white light of the incandescent lamp in the kitchen.He also looked so vain when he laughed, "Sitting here and talking, I forgot the time. It's getting late. I'm going back now. The hotel provides marinated eggs every night. It tastes very good. If you go late, you won't be able to eat it."

With Professor Jiang like this, Su Ruoyan is not worried about letting him go back, "Let's eat here, Daqin brought hot pot back today, more people will be happy to eat."

Professor Jiang was a little embarrassed, Qin Chengyu looked at the man sitting at the table and said: "Stay here and eat, Xiaoyan, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my elder brother Qin Boyu. Eldest brother, my lover Su Ruoyan."

Qin Boyu suddenly raised his head, and stared straight at Qin Chengyu with sharp eyes, and Qin Chengyu looked at him calmly.

Qin Boyu closed his eyes forcefully, then opened them again, his piercing eyes were tired, "Does Mom and Dad know?"

"They're here, they probably came here on purpose after knowing something." He waved to Su Ruoyan who was standing at the door, not knowing what to do, "Xiaoyan, don't stand at the door, close the door, it's cold outside, don't freeze. "

Since he didn't object, Qin Chengyu acquiesced that the two of them stayed for dinner.

"Oh." Su Ruoyan nodded repeatedly, closed the door and walked to Qin Chengyu's side.The atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit weird, especially between Qin Boyu and Jiang Ran. Su Ruoyan turned his head and glanced at Qin Chengyu. It was really okay to suddenly talk about the relationship during this period of time when the other party obviously had something on his mind.

Qin Chengyu shook his head slightly, and grabbed his hand, "I brought these back, you can see if you like them, there are vegetables in the house, so I let you pack the meat and fungi, knowing that you are not eating Put aquatic products in the hot pot, but don’t want fish, shrimp and crab.”

There are two simple small hot pots in the takeaway box of the hot pot. They are not afraid of washing the dishes, so they are useless. They took out the mandarin duck pot at home, poured the bottom material, and boiled it before taking it out of the refrigerator if it was missing. The broth came out and added some warm water when it felt too thick. Su Ruoyan was very busy, and always felt that the current atmosphere was weird, and it was better to find something to do.

Qin Chengyu watched him toss, smiled and took out the mutton rolls and put them on plates. Because there were so many people eating, the little things he brought back were probably not enough to eat. He opened the refrigerator and took out fish balls and shrimp balls. Take out vermicelli, rice cakes, etc., and take out a lot of vegetables for processing. Cut the white radish in winter, wash the spinach and lettuce, and cut the tomato and cucumber in the greenhouse into thin slices. It is also very busy.

Qin Boyu sat down with a sullen expression, staring at the two young men wandering around with both eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up in a sarcastic arc, what happened to him 30 years ago will happen to his younger brother 30 years later?

Jiang Ran also looked at Su Ruoyan and Qin Chengyu, with sadness hidden behind the tenderness in his eyes, and said mockingly: "Are your parents coming to see people, and then trying to find a way to defeat them one by one?"

"Even so, so what, it's not 30 years ago now." Turning his head, he saw Jiang Ran face-on for the first time when we met. 30 years have really changed a lot of people, no longer the vigor of youth, no longer at that time Pure softness, the sadness hidden in the corners of the eyes and brows seemed to grow with the years. It had been hidden on the face since the eve of parting, slowly embedded in the fine lines on the face. "You, how have you been all these years?"

"It's good. Your parents gave me a choice. Stay by your side and my family's future will be hindered; or I will go abroad and never come back for the rest of my life. Everyone is peaceful." I thought those memories had been hidden in the corner, but Think about it as if it doesn't exist, but it turns out that as long as one corner is uncovered, they all pop out, so vivid, just like yesterday.

The old city more than 30 years ago was far from being a well-known national tourist city like it is now. It was just a poor town blocked by mountains and rivers. Going to the university in city B, the soaring joy turned into anxiety after seeing the prosperity of the big city.

He spent the first month after enrolling in anxiety. He is dull, introverted, and not sociable. The places he goes to most are cafeterias, libraries, and dormitories. The dozens of dollars in his pocket are given by his parents to save money. With the living expenses he saved, he simply couldn't bear the colorful city life.

If he hadn't become curious about the prom that day and rejected the roommate's repeated invitations, maybe he would have become an ordinary geography teacher, maybe he would have stayed in City B, or returned to his hometown.

But there are not so many ifs in life. The track of life changes from the moment the school auditorium is pushed away.

Dazzling lanterns seemed to appear in front of his eyes, pop songs of that era were in his ears, and he was surrounded by fashionable classmates, dressed in serious but washed white clothes, like an ugly duckling caught in a flock of swans, embarrassed and uneasy.

It was dark before his eyes, and the dazzling light was blocked by a tall and straight figure. He raised his head and saw a resolute and tough face, like a crown jade, with a calm temperament...

Jiang Ran closed her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. Everything changed, Qin Boyu's frequent appearances, the details of friendship turning into love, the confusion after being discovered by Qin's parents, and... Time has already set foot on the land of a foreign country, and I worry too much, but I also let go of a lot.

"Get married, have children, life is on the right track, everything is fine."

Qin Boyu's hand on his side suddenly tightened, "Are you married?"

"Well, Chinese, I have two children, one boy and one girl." Jiang Ran said, looking into Qin Boyu's eyes.
