Landlord, why is there no water?

The catkins are flying, and the spring rain is continuous.It was raining outside, and I was not in the mood to go out to play, so I had to drink tea at home with my parents.

My mother has always liked tea art, and set up a small table with elegant tea sets on it. "One piece of fame is only for tea, and Yue Lai is full of tea fragrance."

"Guan Gong patrols the city and the generals stand, Han Xin counts the rest of the soldiers. Appreciate the soup and listen to the evening drums, and taste the sweet rain for a lifetime." My father echoed.

Don't look at how my parents are raising their eyebrows now. When they were young, no one would obey the other, and they quarreled fiercely.People in Hunan are addicted to spicy food, and their temper is so hot that the roof is about to fall off.When they were arguing fiercely, I had to find something to eat by myself. Later, they stopped arguing, saying that they saw me picking up the spicy sticks on the ground once, and felt sorry for me, so they seldom quarreled.People always say that I am their little button. For a long time, my relatives have asked me if I still eat the spicy strips on the ground.Very well, this embarrassing episode of gluttony was sweetly announced by my parents.

My mother stood up, holding the teapot, and the posture of pouring tea was still in place.

"Hiss..." It's just that the tea splashed out quickly, and even splashed on the back of my hand, so I quickly withdrew my hand. "Mom, what are you doing!?"

The mother explained softly and lovingly: "This is the high brewing of the hanging pot. Let the boiling water help to agitate the tea leaves, making it easier to develop the aroma of the tea, the rapid development of the tea essence, and the tannin before it dissolves, and the tea soup will not be bitter..."

"Mom! Where are you pouring it!" My mother seemed unable to control the teapot, and the tea, including the whole teapot, was about to splash on my face.

In the afternoon, my mobile phone rang. I picked up the phone and saw the caller ID in a daze.I was stunned for [-] second, and I quickly picked it up. "Miss Youqing..."

Hearing the words "Sister Youqing", my mother finally put down the weapon in her hand, oh no teapot.

"Yeah, I'll come over, you wait for me at the station."

"You Qing is here?" My mother still had a dignified expression, but when she heard the news that Sister You Qing had come, she was overjoyed. "Is she at the station? Parents go with you."

I wear a coat and wear a ponytail. "It's raining outside. I guess Sister Youqing hasn't eaten yet. Mom, make something first."

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety."

The family car is still an old model ten years ago, and the whole front of the car vibrates when the clutch is stepped on.Thinking in my heart, I still have some money in it, so I might as well change my dad's car.

My heart is full of happiness now, and I thought Sister Qing would not come.

"Sister Youqing." There was no one on the street, probably because of the rain, and it's not the time to leave work and school.When I drove into the station, I saw that familiar figure under the stop sign.

The landlord's hair seemed to be wet, and she looked up blankly.

I quickly held up the umbrella and took her into the car. "Miss Youqing, why do you..."

Sitting in the passenger seat, the landlord lowered her eyelids, and her lips were drawn into a line.

I asked cautiously, "Sister Youqing, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"You know about me?" The landlord looked at me and spoke after a while. "You went to the mentor, didn't you?"

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult to move an inch.I didn't start the ignition and let the car stand still.

I shrank my head, feeling very unreasonable. "I don't want you to be unhappy..."

"I'm not unhappy."

"You're very unhappy right now."

The landlord unbuckled his seat belt and seemed to be about to get out of the car. I quickly grabbed the landlord's wrist. "Sister Youqing, it's raining heavily outside, don't go out...you'll catch a cold."

My tone was pleading, is the landlord angry?I'm a little scared.

"Why are you guys exposing my scars one by one?" The landlord became different from usual, she opened her eyes, without the usual gentleness. "It hurts, it won't get better."

"Sister Youqing, I don't know anything..." I quickly grabbed the landlord's hand. "I was wrong……"

"You don't know anything, why do you say you are wrong?"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't do things that make you unhappy."

Probably because I looked so pitiful, the landlord stopped.I know that I look very pitiful, and the appearance when I admit my mistake and keep someone is pitiful.My fingers were trembling, and I was clutching the landlord's cuff tightly.

"It's me..." After a while, the landlord said. "You're not wrong, you just want to care about me."

"sister……"

"It's me who is bothering others, and I can't get over the hurdles in my heart." The landlord said. "I thought time would help me. It's been three years. It turns out that I've been avoiding time."

The landlord has a book called "Three Years Abandoned by Time", it turns out...

"Sister... I don't know what you have been through... I just don't want you to be so sad." I said: "You treat me well, and I want to treat you well. I didn't mean to expose your scars."

The landlord was silent, and the rain began to decrease.I lit the fire and let the wipers wipe the rain.

For a while, the car was very quiet, only the sound of the wipers scraping.After a while, it was dark again, and my mother called. "Have you received it and cleared it?"

"Yeah, got it."

"Why aren't you home yet?"

"The road... is a bit congested." I looked at the landlord and gave a super lame reason.

"Blocked? Clear the phone again."

"Sister Youqing is inconvenient right now."

"Did you really take Youqing into a ditch? I knew I couldn't let you drive..."

"Auntie, I'm here." The landlord still answered the phone with a much softer tone.

"Are you in the hospital?"

"No, I have nothing to do with Xiao Wan."

"I'm relieved to hear what you said." Mother said, her voice rising, as if she was looking forward to the landlord's arrival. "Tell Xiaowan to drive slowly, don't worry, your uncle and I are waiting for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, there was a moment of silence in the car.

"Sister, let's go back first, you are drenched in the rain, you should take a hot bath and change into dry clothes, or you will catch a cold." I opened my mouth.

The landlord looked up and glanced at me.Under the gaze of the landlord, I was a little nervous.

"it is good."

Hearing this "good", I finally breathed a sigh of relief.The landlord and my mother can chat well. With my mother at that time, the landlord and I will not be so embarrassed.

Back home, under the warm hospitality of my parents, the landlord's expression showed signs of improvement.Seeing the landlord's expression, I feel a little distressed for no reason.I don't know if the landlord is holding on to his inner emotions.It's really contradictory. I want the landlord to get better, but I also want the landlord not to hold it in my heart.

Mother prepared the guest room for the landlord early in the morning. "I prepared two sets of pajamas for you. I wanted to buy clothes for you, but I thought clothes are too interesting, and I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."

"Yeah, thank you, auntie." The landlord changed into pajamas. "I like it very much. You have a good eye."

"Aren't you hungry? I'll ask Xiao Wan to bring you some?"

"Okay...thank you, Auntie..."

When I went downstairs, my mother gave me another wink. "It's time to apologize. Apologize well. I didn't really ask you to deliver food, understand?"

I opened my mouth. "Mom...how did you know..."

"You think I'm your father, you're blind."

"Thank you mom." I put my hands together. "Thank you for your support all the way."

"Oh, I don't know if I'm hurting Youqing by doing this."

"..."

"If only I had two daughters. Now, it's not because I have no choice. Who told the country to plan one child in the first place."

"..."

My mother is really kind to the landlord. I saw that this red stewed shark's fin and rock sugar Xianglian boiled live fish was not just made casually.Thinking about the scene where I said I was hungry and my mother told me to cook noodles at noon, I wanted to shed two tears for myself.

I put the tray on the table. "Sister Youqing, come... have some food."

"Yeah." The landlord sat on the stool without moving his chopsticks. "Where's auntie?"

"She went to bed."

"Then go to bed early, too," said the landlord.

"Yeah, after you finish eating, I'll pack up and go to sleep."

"I don't have an appetite, I just don't want to take care of Auntie's kindness."

"Cush your stomach and sleep more comfortably at night."

The landlord scooped up some lotus seeds, and she handed them to me. "So far, you haven't eaten anything."

Landlord, I can't do anything about it.I am angry and can maintain a good posture.I lowered my head and ate a lotus seed silently. "Sister Youqing, you can eat it too, it's very sweet."

The landlord looked at the spoon I held out, and finally lowered his head. "Well, very sweet."

The landlord didn't speak much, and she and I ate something quietly.It started raining outside again, pattering.I looked at the side face of the landlord. Compared with the afternoon, the lines of the side face of the landlord were much softer, probably because of the lighting?

"I can't do anything with you." After eating, the landlord said this again.

"what?"

"sleep earlier."

"Well, if there is anything, call me, or come knock on my door."

Back in my bedroom, I checked my phone.Before going to bed, I posted on my Weibo again.A message from Qi Rou was sent in a private message on Weibo. "Xia Youqing is gone, have you seen her?"

"Did she go to your place, call back."

"What's the matter with you and Sister Youqing?" I checked the time, it was posted this morning.

"Is she really with you?"

Qi Rou replied very quickly, I had planned that she would not reply, after all it is so late now.

"Tell her to call me back."

"Sister Youqing is already asleep." I replied.

Qi Rou didn't reply for a while, but when she saw it, she felt that her reply was too ambiguous. "Well...don't think too much, Sister Youqing and I sleep in separate rooms."

"That's enough, I don't care whether you share the same bed or separate rooms."

"I'm afraid you misunderstood..."

"...Don't treat me as a rival in love all day long."
