old love [rebirth]

Chen Lou strolled slowly in the supermarket, and Ning Shan followed behind pushing the cart with a smile on her face. They were both handsome and beautiful when they were young and full of youth, which attracted many girls and boys to look back.

"Don't laugh, you're laughing out of your nasolabial folds." Chen Lou turned around and pointed at her.

Ning Shan closed her mouth reflexively and touched her face with her hands. After realizing the reaction, she couldn't help but bent down with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you two are so funny!"

Chen Lou had no choice but to pick things from the list one by one.

This imported supermarket is just downstairs from Wu Jiajia's community. Just as Ning Shan asked him why he happened to be nearby, Chen Lou told him about making cakes.Who knew that this girl who didn't like to go out turned off the fire immediately and took her bag to go with him.Chen Lou had nothing to do with such a limp girl, so he could only drag his tail along to buy together.

Bin

While the two were chatting, Ning Shan mentioned the oolong incident between Chen Lou and his brother last time, and the more she laughed, the happier she became.

Chen Lou's threats to her didn't work, and he said helplessly, "This place is full of desserts. Why are you following me? Why don't you go back?"

"I don't," Ning Shan said with a smile, "My brother's birthday is coming soon, and I want to make him some cookies."

"...you know how to make biscuits?" Chen Lou raised his eyebrows, "But your chicken soup is not very good, don't make the biscuits mush, it will hurt your brother."

"How could it be! I'm not very good at cooking," Ning Shan protested aggrievedly: "If my mother wasn't at home during this time, I wouldn't even have the chance to try cooking. She pays attention to everything and hates cooking Chinese food by herself. Heavy oil smoke."

Chen Lou suddenly found it difficult to imagine how this family lived in ordinary times, but when he thought of the cup of coffee that the family was rather particular about, he clicked his tongue: "The quality of life in your family is high enough."

"...No way, my mother asked for it," Ning Shan looked left and right in a low voice, and said as she walked, "My mother said that our Ning family was originally a wealthy and noble family. She lived in Shanghai when she was young. Grandma always took him to eat the most authentic Shanghai cuisine. At that time, there were very few taxis on the road, but they only took cars when they went out. The restaurants they often went to were also Western restaurants, and a meal would cost half a year for ordinary people... Later, my mother was brought by my grandfather to settle in City C, and although she was unhappy in her heart, she still excelled here."

Chen Lou had guessed about the situation of her family's ancestors before, and thought it was unusual, but didn't expect to be so rich, so he couldn't help being a little astonished.

Ning Shan pursed her lips: "But these are what my mother said. My brother and I didn't live in affluent life when we were young. I just feel that the house at home is big. My mother is strict and always asks us to learn some things. It was useless. Later, when we both became sensible, my brother said, we should make her happy. My mother always bought expensive things, and then she didn’t allow us to buy cheap ones. The poor can hardly afford salt, and she will not change."

"Although my mother is not an aristocrat, she has the same strength to ask for money." Chen Lou couldn't help but said with a smile, "I ask for money from me every day, but I hold on tightly, and it's fine for her. If you don't give it, it will save you a lot of worry."

"Yeah, my brother is too obedient to my mother," Ning Shan thought more and more distressed: "He just came back yesterday, and I let him have a good rest, but he was not at home until four o'clock this morning, and I don't know I'm busy somewhere, I really don't know what to do, so I want to make him some soup."

Seeing fondant paste in the ingredients Chen Lou bought, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Mr. Chen, what kind of cake are you going to make?"

"Fondant," Chen Lou said, "I don't know if it can be done well, let's try."

Ning Shan groaned, her eyes lit up, and she looked at him with some hesitation, hesitating to speak.

"Do you have an oven at home?" Chen Lou suddenly turned around and asked.

Ning Shan nodded quickly.

"Then borrow your oven and refrigerator for use," Chen Lou tapped on the shopping cart, "I'll make another one for your brother with the remaining materials, and it will pay off the electricity and usage fees, how about it?"

"—Ah, that's great, that's great!" Ning Shan patted the shopping cart repeatedly, shouted several times, and then followed Chen Lou to check out.

Chen Lou had been delayed for two days because of renting a house, and it was just right to start preparing now. He also thought that there were a few odds and ends in the house that needed to be put in the refrigerator, so he asked Ning Shan to take the things home first and go home by himself.

When he came back, Dacheng happened to be carrying his luggage outside, and it seemed that he was going to move into a new house before his birthday.The young couple packed up and moved downstairs like mice. Chen Lou felt a headache seeing Xiaohui's hands and feet, and was afraid that she would poke her belly, so he called two people for help, and then waited to go to Ning Shan's house By then, it was dark.

City C not only gets dark early in winter, but it's also frighteningly dark, and you can't see your fingers. Chen Lou, riding a broken bicycle, actually planted three or four pits on this road that he runs every day, almost hitting his egg.He parked the car in the corridor downstairs and stomped his feet, only to realize that the corridor was also dark.Chen Lou could only turn on the flashlight of his mobile phone, touch the elevator, turn on the flashlight after getting out of the elevator, and search for Ning Shan's house with the house number.

He didn't pay attention when he saw a man slamming on the anti-theft door of a house. There are more than a dozen houses on the first floor of the building here. There is no property security outside, and the people living inside are also mixed. After meeting people in disheveled clothes several times, Ning Shan said that the neighborhood next door was under construction again. A contractor hired a group of migrant workers from other places to rent an entire floor, and there were people peeing and shitting in the corridors.

The man looked at Chen Lou vigilantly, seeing that Chen Lou didn't pay attention to him, he laughed a few more times, in an indescribably wretched way, he slapped the door and shouted: "Little girl, why don't you say anything?" Another few obscenities with insults.

Ning Shan's house was in the middle. Chen Lou was only afraid of knocking on the wrong door of her neighbor, so he looked carefully at the house number and looked for it. When he heard the man's tone, he subconsciously shone the light of the flashlight there. A door next to the person.

06 households.Next to it is Ning Shan's house in 07 households.

That man is harassing Ning Shan? !Where is Ning Shan's brother? !Are you back?

Chen Lou's mind buzzed for a moment, and then he calmed down almost immediately. He was also a little surprised, but he knew that his face must have been tense. If the man looked back at him, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Also trembling.But he still took a deep breath, held it back, and went to the stairs as if looking back for the house number.

The wall at the entrance of the stairs was covered with large and small dirt marks, and some things were piled up on the ground. Lou Chen reached inside, grabbed a stick-shaped object and shook it. It was hard. , I couldn't hold back anymore, and when I came out of the stairs, I cursed and threw at the smiling man.

"...I fuck your mother!"

When the stick went down, Chen Lou felt the blood all over his body rushed to his forehead, and the stimulating feeling of bursting his whole body's strength made his teeth itch.The man was a little vigilant when he saw the person just now, and subconsciously shrank back. Now when he blocked it with his arm, he let out a cry, and Chen Lou's long stick broke.

This man was obviously doing hard work, and Chen Lou saw that his arms were covered with lumps and pitch-black when he got close.Since he was a child, he has always been a fork in the face of his own uncles and mothers. Seeing this person must be difficult to deal with now. He raised his leg and kicked the other person's back fiercely. That person dared not look back at all. , screamed and hurriedly got up and ran away.

Chen Lou stood in the corridor, gritting his teeth.With such a big commotion, none of the ten or so households on the entire floor came out to watch.It wasn't that he didn't pay attention when he was downstairs. At least half of the houses had their lights on, but it was useless.

He didn't know why he was angry, and he didn't know whether he was throwing down today without regard for human life because Ning Shan was his tutoring student, or because she was a weak and kind girl, or because, in fact, Ning Shan What happened to her brother was no different from her own.

Compared with Wu Jiajia, Guan Yu, and Cen Zheng, I and the brothers and sisters of the Ning family are more like ascetic monks climbing up step by step. The suffering here is not just poverty and powerlessness, but more from my own. family.Not all families are harmonious and beautiful, fathers are kind and sons are filial, brothers and friends are respectful, people born in different families have different experiences since childhood, and their choices are also very different.But the three of them also longed for family affection, and at the same time were burdened by this family affection.

When Ning Shan showed a small face from behind the anti-theft door, her face was already pale, with one hand behind her back, revealing half of the wooden handle of the knife.

The girl who was wearing a sweater a month ago but watched him vigilantly through the security door gradually came to life.

Chen Lou had been paying attention at the time, and always felt that the first look he saw was not very kind. It was not until now that he realized that the dirty incident tonight might not be the first time, and of course, it might not be the last time.

"Don't be afraid," Chen Lou threw the thing on the ground with a bang, only to find that it was a mop without the cotton wool.

"You go in, don't open the door unless your brother comes back." Chen Lou pointed at her and said.

Ning Shan bit her lower lip and nodded. Seeing a scratch on Chen Lou's hand, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, come in. I'll treat the wound for you."

"No need." Only then did Chen Lou remember the purpose of his visit, took two steps to pick up the thing that had just been thrown aside, sniffed it through the plastic bag, handed it to her and said, "Put this thing in the refrigerator, Just keep it refrigerated. I'll stand guard at the door and wait for your brother to come back."

-

Chen Lou stayed at Ning Shan's door until eight o'clock in the evening. During this period, Ning Shan insisted on letting him in several times, but was interrupted by the phone in Chen Lou's hand, so she had to move a stool for him.

Chen Lou held the remaining half of the mop pole in one hand, and sat at the door with a big horse.The caller was Hong Mao, who was renting a house, and he wanted to move in tonight.Chen Lou had a hunch that the wretched man lived in this building, and he was worried that Ning Shan would be at home by herself. He called Ning Shan's brother but no one answered, so he could only postpone it perfunctorily.

The kid was a bit of a jerk, and he would hit him every ten minutes. Chen Lou wanted to get angry at first, but the other party's attitude made him a little bit hesitant.

"Senior Chen, you are so kind. You are so kind. This is the first time I have seen such a kind-hearted person as Senior. I also know that this is not good for me, but I was a little excited when I rented a house for the first time. Don't you mind, Senior? You must Don't be angry with me, I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow, okay?"

Hongmao finished reading according to the words on the screen, and when he heard the speechless sigh over there, he hung up the phone with an apologetic smile, turned his face and said with a look of disgust: "It's fucking disgusting! "

Guan Yu, who was holding a pen in his mouth, frowned, looking preoccupied.

Hongmao and his classmate looked at each other, elbowed him and asked, "Hey brother, what's going on with you?"

Guan Yu still ignored him, frowned and kept typing on the computer and said——ah yes, Senior Chen, don't bother me, I'll wait for you downstairs, just to ask...

Hongmao clicked his tongue twice, and patted the chair in boredom.Usually at this time, he was probably taking his sister to scan the dungeon. He never expected that after being caught by Guan Yu that day, he would turn into calling the old men to check the post.

The key point is that the post investigation is not very clever at all, and it's just that stupid thing over and over again, and a few nice words are said upside down.What's more, what's really going on over there, it will be over in a few minutes, and the frequency of these ten minutes of post checks is useless?

Hongmao mumbled in his heart several times, but he didn't dare to say anything. He looked left and right to see that it was all right, and took out a cigarette from his classmate's pocket.

"Don't smoke here!" Guan Yu turned his head and frowned and said, "I'm tired of this smell."

"If you don't smoke, I'll just smell it." Hongmao clicked his tongue and surrendered with both hands: "I know you're particular... But brother, I'm not so nasty when I ask our old lady for money. Can we change the line?"

"Swap farts!" Guan Yu said, "Chen Lou will take the soft but not the hard, according to your lines, he would have destroyed you a long time ago!"

"How is it possible?" Hong Mao shouted: "You didn't see him counting the money like that, I was so scared when he laughed, hey, that's the master who tied a steel iron to his ribs, I'm now After all, he is the benefactor, he must pay for it, only idiots rent that crappy house."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had scolded himself too, so he hurriedly added: "Except for us."

"Idiots think I'm not an idiot," Guan Yu frowned and scolded him, then leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed; "The security door of their house is too broken, the toilet is still a squat, and the kitchen is not good, either. What the hell—"

The red hair immediately guessed what he was going to say, and his eyes widened.

Sure enough, Guan Yu knocked on the table and began to think: "He changed the door, the toilet... don't fix anything, just do it like yours..."

"Fuck, can it not hurt people?" Hongmao protested, "Why is my family's not good—"

"The screen window is also broken." Guan Yu looked at him: "Where's your photo, show me it again?"

Red Hair: "..."

Hongmao felt that this person said that buying things was like buying a cabbage, it was casual and natural, but there was nothing he could do, who said that the same people had different fates.What's more, Guan Yu saw that he cared about Chen Lou very much. Among other things, he was such a shameless smoker. I heard that even his father and brother had to avoid smoking. After being smoked by Chen Lou, Guan Yu didn't make a sound, and didn't tell him to go away.

Thinking of this, Hong Mao suddenly remembered, and reminded: "Hey brother, don't you smell cigarettes? This Chen Lou is an old smoker!" He detested Chen Lou's Hongtashan that day, and passed a good cigarette over. Who knew that Chen Lou raised his brows and said "no taste" to him.

"An old smoker is an old smoker," Guan Yu sighed, "He won't listen to him, he's already used to it."
