Chapter 11 Chapter 11

Before getting out of the taxi, Shi Jia was still playing with his hair according to the reflection of the car window, and when Chu Yuan pulled him out of the car, he rubbed his head vigorously.His hair is not particularly soft, and the touch in the palm of his hand is tingly and itchy.

Chu Yuanyi felt that he didn't need to care too much about his hairstyle, it looked good anyway.When the bangs are stroked up, the smooth and clean forehead is exposed, and the whole person looks lively and energetic; when the bangs are put down, the slightly long hair covers half of the forehead, and the bright and curved eyes are particularly attractive, making it particularly energetic.

It is this kind of spirit that makes people never forget. When they saw him in the villa, they immediately recognized him as the store manager of Yuanzhu Library.

The end of Mulin Lane is next to the beautiful river that surrounds the city. When Yiwei Private Kitchen first opened, Chu Yuanyi went to the coffee shop at the entrance of the alley several times with the staff, and then walked in to the river bank alone.

There are only four shops in the long alley, and there is a lonely and dilapidated small bookstore at the far end.During the period of spring, every time Chu Yuan passed the bookstore, he could see a young man with his head down sitting on a short chair reading a book.The quaint wooden door is behind, the green and bright stone road is in front, and in the alley filled with the smell of coffee beans and spring flowers, the golden and warm sunlight seems to melt on his body.

When Chu Yuan walked past the bookstore, he would unconsciously walk lightly, for fear of disturbing the young man.The first time I saw Shi Jia's face was when I came out of the alley corner with Qin Xiaofei that day, when I just turned the corner, I heard a "pop" sound, and the legs of the bench collided with the stone slab.Seeing him sitting on a chair, he glanced at the two people who came out of the corner with an expression of "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose", and there was a little panic in his bright black eyes.The book that was originally on his lap also fell to the ground. He stood up and bent down awkwardly to pick up the book, and strode into the library with the same hands and feet.

As soon as Chu Yuan picked up his bookmark, he was infected by Qin Xiaofei's emotions, and felt very uncomfortable.Holding the bookmark, I took two steps and returned the bookmark when I saw someone walking inside.

From stranger to familiarity with him, I don't know if it's fate.When I first met him, I thought he was very youthful and seductive, and I was willing to talk to him a few more words; after a while, I felt that he lived a comfortable and casual life, and I was willing to spend time with him.

There is no particularly strong and profound feeling, just a kind of comfort wrapped in the lukewarm ocean current.

As soon as Chu Yuan turned around to face Shi Jia, he held the back of his head with one hand, stretched his five fingers along his hair and stroked his hair with the other, and pinched his ears again when he was done: "Okay, now Very handsome, don't stop talking about it."

"I have to shave my hair tomorrow." Shi Jia lowered her head, feeling a little itchy at the tips of her ears after being touched so suddenly by him, so she raised her hand to touch it.Chu Yuan grabbed his hand one by one: "Don't play tricks, you just said you won't do it."

Shi Jia simply stretched out her hand to the side of his face, touched his ear in a hurry as if he was afraid that he would avoid it, and then shouted loudly: "Who wants you to touch me?!"

The two quarreled for a while before heading home. Chu Yuanyi's parents' house was a single small western-style building.Chu Yuanyi probably hadn't been here for a long time, and walked around the buildings for 10 minutes under the dim street lights before finding his home in despair.When she finally rang the doorbell, Shi Jia couldn't help complaining about him: "You prodigal son, can you go home often?"

As soon as the door opened, Han Jiaru just heard him say this, and smiled happily: "Yuan Yi, when did you meet such a handsome guy?"

Standing behind Chu Yuanyi, Shi Jia saw his mother leaning slightly, with a beautiful bun on her head, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She was a very elegant and gentle woman.I don't know if Shi Jia is too familiar with Chu Yuanyi, or if it's the blood relationship between mother and child, but if you look closely, you will find that the curvature of her brow when she smiles is very similar to Chu Yuanyi.

Shi Jia walked into the room and called out sweetly, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Shi Jia. I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Han Jiaru nodded with a smile: "Seeing you standing still and not talking, I thought you were shy. Good boy, don't look out, it's as if you are at home."

Shi Jia scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I was just thinking that it's no wonder Brother Chu is beautiful. It turns out that his mother is so beautiful, so I just took a second look."

Han Jiaru said "Ouch", and walked over to take his arm: "You are so cute."

As soon as Chu Yuan hung Shi Jia's hat on the stand at the door, he asked, "Where's my dad?"

As soon as he finished asking, Chu Fuhong came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and Shi Jiazhong shouted angrily, "Hello, Uncle."

Chu Fuhong put down the dishes, smiled kindly and said, "You're hungry, wash your hands and eat."

Not serious at all.

Before taking his seat, Han Jiaru said that he wanted to sit next to Shi Jia, but Chu Yuan took her by the shoulders to let her sit opposite Shi Jia, and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient."

After sitting down, Han Jiaru saw Chu Yuanyi, who was holding chopsticks in his right hand, turned slightly to the left to make room for Shi Jia, who sat next to him and used his left hand.Han Jiaru smiled, and took a piece of stuffed tofu for Shi Jia: "Come and try this, Yuan Yi doesn't like stuffed vegetables, buns, etc. I haven't made this dish for several years."

Shi Jia sneaked a glance at Chu Yuanyi in surprise, and Han Jiaru seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "He says everything is delicious, and he doesn't seem to be particular about it. Don't pinch this. You will know after a long time."

Shi Jia is still thinking about "it will be a long time", can you still eat for a long time?

As soon as Chu Yuan opened a bottle of wine, he poured it for his parents and asked Shi Jia if he wanted to drink it. Shi Jia pushed his hand: "I won't drink it."

As soon as Chu Yuan went to the refrigerator to get juice for him, Shi Jia looked at the goblet with orange juice on the table and felt inexplicably happy, and felt that the "goblet" with the little lion engraved on it was more suitable for this kind of sweet drink.Shi Jia laughed for a while, and suddenly wanted to ask Chu Yuanyi where he bought such a lovely cup.

Shi Jia took a sip of the juice, put down the glass, reached under the table and patted Chu Yuanyi's thigh lightly.As soon as Chu Yuan turned his head and looked at him inexplicably, Shi Jia grinned wickedly and said nothing.

Shi Jia looked like a small child when he showed his canine teeth when he smiled. Chu Fuhong happened to see his mischievous smile and thought he looked like his son when he was in elementary school.As soon as Chu Yuan filled him with juice, he asked, "Xiao Shi, are you still studying?"

"I stopped reading a long time ago, and now I'm staying in a small bookstore, in the alley opposite Brother Chu's restaurant."

"You look young, full of vigor, like the group of freshmen and sophomores at school." Speaking of this, Han Jiaru put down her chopsticks and walked into the kitchen.When he came out, he held a small red bag in his hand, took out two red eggs from the bag, peeled them one by one and put them on the plate in front of Shi Jia: "Today is Children's Day, I saw that the children in the school are all running away. I went out for a dinner. Auntie didn’t prepare any good dishes, and this egg is the lai see for the wedding banquet at noon. Let’s celebrate, and you have a good Children’s Day. Make up for it, grow up quickly, and live a sweet and beautiful life.”

Shi Jia looked at the two eggs on the plate, the egg whites were stained with red paper, and the chandelier above his head was so bright that the light red spots were even more dazzling.Shi Jia felt that the lighting must be bright enough, otherwise why would her eyes feel hot, Shi Jia didn't dare to look up, thinking that her eye sockets must be stained red by the red egg, she felt embarrassed.

Raising her head slightly, she looked down at the dish in front of Han Jiaru, and said in a steady voice, "Thank you, Auntie."

After dinner, Han Jiaru put the dishes back into the kitchen and went to the living room to chat with them.Chu Fuhong was chatting with Shi Jia about Shi Nanqi's mineral water factory in the town.What Chu Fuhong is doing is a chain of tobacco and alcohol firms, the procurement and sales of middlemen, while Shi Nanqi is dealing with the distribution of product production to the final area.Shi Jia didn't know much, and mainly talked about the situation that Chu Fuhong wanted to know about the off-line diversion that the manufacturers fancy.

Han Jiaru pushed Chu Yuanyi to let him sit on another sofa, next to Shi Jia.He said to Chu Fuhong: "Xiao Jia came here to relax, why is she still talking about business matters?"

Chu Fuhong smiled: "Let's chat casually, I think Xiao Shi is quite suitable for business. Why don't you follow me to run a tobacco and alcohol business? It's much more interesting than a bookstore."

Chu Yuanyi refused first: "No, Dad, don't say it's interesting. Shi Jia is doing this now, and he likes it too. I think it's very good, no need to change it."

The four of them talked about other things along the topic.

What Chu Yuanyi said was right, many people went from unfamiliar to familiar, Shi Jia completely fell in love with this kind of family atmosphere full of tolerance and guidance in just one meal.Han Jiaru must have long-term experience in contact with young people, no matter what Shi Jia said, he would never be overwhelmed, and could lead him to speak step by step.Chu Fuhong is also an open-minded and optimistic uncle. He doesn't talk much but always stays focused, asking questions and thinking for the person he's talking to.

It really feels like coming home.

When Chu Yuan saw that the time was almost ten o'clock, he said to Shi Jia, "Shall we go back? It's not easy to take a taxi any later."

"Well," as soon as Shi Jia got up, Han Jiaru took his hand and said, "Don't go back, just sleep here tonight. I'm willing to let you come here tomorrow."

Chu Yuanyi's parents' house is a little far from the urban area, and it really takes a long time to go back and forth.Sitting in the cool air-conditioned room after eating and drinking enough, Chu Yuanyi sat back on the sofa again: "Shi Jia, come back tomorrow?" After a pause, he said: "My mother will also Make milk tea, isn't it, Mom?"

Han Jiaru nodded with a smile, and patted the back of Shi Jia's hand: "The milk cap made by Auntie is so sweet, will you try it tomorrow?"

The author has something to say:

Most of the chain tobacco and alcohol firms are engaged in large wholesale, and the general small shops are retail.The article is all about offline distribution... Anyway, whoever walks the fastest in the street is the team leader
