I bent the devil

The streets are lined with festive lanterns, and along with the most prosperous street in the town, a street is full of hangings. Children laugh and pass by from behind, holding small paper gadgets such as windmills made of colored paper, passing by Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi, Turn into the crowd and disappear.

Standing on this street, I could vaguely hear the voices and noises of people on another street parallel to this street.Looking from the alley connecting the two streets, you can see people sitting on benches placed directly on the street, laughing loudly and clinking glasses with the people next to them.

That's where the big families hold banquets for three days. One street is for people to eat and drink, and the other street is full of lanterns.

When you are full of food and drink, walk through the alleys and look at lanterns or other gadgets.If you are hungry again, you can walk back through the alley, sit down and continue eating.

Before leaving, you can also take a few white flour steamed buns.

Gu Jiu was standing at the entrance of the alley at the moment, looking across the dark alley to the people laughing happily under the warm yellow light.

Many people's clothing is not good, not to mention whitening, but also full of patches.Some people were obviously coolies who had done a day's work, and their trousers were still rolled up to the ankles, and the yellow mud that had not been completely rinsed could still be seen vaguely.

But those wrinkles that are usually full of worries and worries due to the hardships of life have now turned into laugh lines.

The same is the texture, the former makes people sigh, but the latter makes people happy.

Song Qingyi stood beside Gu Jiu, following his gaze.It's just that what was photocopied under those cold eyes was the scene and perception, and only he knew it.

"Look at Qingyi." Gu Jiu still looked in that direction, and said softly to Song Qingyi without looking back. "Whether the current practice is a way of gratitude for their rebirth after the catastrophe, or to show off. At least the people who benefit are those who really need help in normal times."

Gu temporarily turned around.Song Qingyi tilted his head slightly, looked away from the distance, and stayed on his face.Quietly looked at Gu Jiu.

For a moment, Gu Jiu felt as if he saw Song Qingyi from his childhood again.

It's the same way when he talks, he looks at himself quietly.

"Real charity will only throw food on the ground. It will not invite them to the table." Gu Jiu said to Song Qingyi. He knew that what he said now might not be completely correct, but he still tried his best to get it. Express yourself.Let Song Qingyi get out of that too fragile self-esteem and too sensitive inferiority complex.

"I understand." Song Qingyi interrupted Gu Jiu.Still looking at him, he repeated it seriously. "I see."

He understood what Gu Jiu wanted to say.But he is not as fragile as Gu Jiu thought.

He and Wang Er have done this kind of thing many times since they were young, not to mention throwing it on the ground, and even getting food by teasing dogs for the sake of stuttering. It's not that it hasn't been done.

Gu temporarily won't understand, Song Qingyi just simply doesn't want to lose face in front of him and "have an identity".

After all, whether it is the Gu Jiu in his memory or the Gu Jiu who appeared in front of him again, his clothes and behavior all show the environment in which he has lived for a long time, which are two completely different worlds from his own.

This is the most important reason why Song Qingyi rejected Wang Er.

However, what Gu Jiu said now made him understand that he has never judged a person's quality based on who is richer or poorer.

What is possessed by the external body does not mean that it is the same in the heart.

Song Qingyi's memory is very good, and he almost never forgets it.But the impression of Gu Jiu made him start to waver in the long-term hardship.He even felt that a person with such qualities was just something he imagined and longed for.

Even if Gu Jiu reappeared, he was more busy disguising himself, making himself look like the gentle and gentle young man he wanted to be seen by outsiders, and making Gu Jiu think that he was himself.

Only now did he slowly understand again, as if he was gradually waking up from a drowsy sleep.

——The Gu Jiu in my impression when I was young is real.

He is upright and kind to others.His eyes are clean and his eyebrows are clear.

Now this person was standing in front of him, and when he knew that he was not what he appeared to be, he still stretched out his hand, trying to pull himself up from the swamp.

Song Qingyi smiled slightly, although it was only a little smile, but it made the already outstanding, gentle and elegant face even more charming.He looked at Gu Jiu and said.

"Let's go over and try it too. See what the big families usually eat, how is it different from ours?"

Gu Jiu was taken aback and smiled.

"Ah."

-------------------------

Song Zhishang came out from the side door of Wang's house. He was dressed in red, making the young man look bright and bright, with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, hearty and handsome, and the moment he stood still, many girls couldn't help but look at him.

Although he looked shy, he lowered his head to look at himself in coarse cloth, then raised his eyes to Song Zhishang who was dressed in fine clothes, and silently lowered his head to eat something from the bowl, which he had never eaten in his life.

Obviously, there is more than enough food on the table, but every time the chopsticks are picked up by the meat dishes, the mother and mother-in-law will still stare at them, and then coax the young son or grandson around them to eat more meat.Get more happiness from the noble family, and be a noble person when you grow up.

This kind of differential treatment because of gender differences has been used by most girls, but there are also some who are naturally aggressive and will feel resentful.

Lotus is like this.

Reaching out to grab a piece of meat again, the sister-in-law opened it with chopsticks, and with a fake smile, she said, "Oh~ sister-in-law. Didn't you just eat a piece of meat? Leave it to Gener? He It’s still young, and its body is open~” As he said, he picked up the piece of meat and threw it into the bowl of the precious son of her elder brother and sister-in-law who was sitting beside Lotus.

"Mom~ I can't eat anymore." How can a child who is only five or six years old eat too much meat?In addition, the conditions at home are not good, and the stomach's ability to absorb oil has become difficult.

Many people have diarrhea after eating it on the first day, but even so, they continue to come back, just for such a bite, not to mention eating, it is estimated that many dishes have not even been seen before.

So when the woman who was called a mother heard that her son would not eat, she stared, and pressed the chopsticks on his behavior of trying to push the meat out, "Eat!"

Gen'er pursed his mouth and swallowed the piece of meat without crying.

He Hua kept watching with a half-smile and didn't speak, but when she deliberately pinched the meat, her sister-in-law didn't open her chopsticks again.But still from time to time, when the lotus wants to pick up that piece of meat, it grabs it first and eats it by itself.

It was at this time that Lotus saw Song Zhishang flashing out of it.

The moment I saw that delicate and hearty young man.The stagnation in my heart suddenly disappeared.

The aunt, who was very concerned about her sister-in-law's every move, also noticed He Hua's startled, followed the direction her eyes were looking at, and her face also flashed with surprise, but then turned her head to look at He Hua with her mouth curled up.

The small eyes look even smaller on the somewhat fleshy face, and they are vicious and treacherous.

"Lotus ~ that person just look at it, he ~ is the swan meat in the sky, you..." Yin and Yang said in a weird way, and the voice probably dragged out when he said it, after looking at the lotus, he covered his mouth and giggled laugh.

Like annoying old bitches.

The reason why the aunt targeted her sister-in-law in this way was only out of jealousy for beautiful women.

Lotus is the most beautiful girl in their villages.

The poor scholar next door described her as "the autumn waves flow and the Lingtai is chaotic, and the jade mountain is light and natural."

She didn't understand these polite words, but she also knew that they were describing her good looks.When I was a girl, the third child of the Wang family in a village worked in a big family, which was considered the best family in the village.

I have been imagining that maybe one day that Wang family mistress will also take a fancy to me?

It's a pity that people like lotus.It is said that her eyes are like the purple and black grapes brought from the Western Regions by a wealthy family, usually only the emperor can afford, they are moist and beautiful.Willow leaf eyebrows, lips with a natural smile, and that skin that all girls are most envious of.

It is obviously the same farming, but there is only her white tofu-like skin of the lotus, which is so tender that it seems that water can be squeezed out.

If you want to say who you hate the most in this life.That must be the lotus.

Back then, when the mistress of the Wang family, whom I secretly liked, wanted to marry Lotus, he was reprimanded by the poor scholar as 'I want to eat swan meat'

now...

When the sister-in-law saw the lotus looking at the young man in red, she felt a distorted joy in her heart.Satisfied, as if she had won, she took a piece of braised pork and threw it into her mouth.

The fat slides down the sausage-like mouth without remembering to wipe it, just to appreciate the expression of the lotus at the moment.

swan?

Pooh!

Isn't it just a lazy one lying on the ground like myself!
