How to Feed a Vampire

Because Ms. Liu lives alone, she usually locks the door after six o'clock in the evening. Over time, everyone knows her habit, and she will not call the door of her house when she has nothing to do.

But Yan Jie didn't know this rule, as soon as she knocked on the door, Mother Liu became a little nervous: "Who is it?"

When she asked such a question, Yan Jie didn't know how to answer for a while. He only knew that Liu Yuan had mentioned himself to his mother, but he didn't know about the photos: "Auntie, I'm Liu Yuan's friend. You open Door."

Some of Liu Yuan's friends, Ms. Liu, knew very well. She listened to Yan Jie's gentle and reasonable words, and when she carefully went out of the room and opened the door, she recognized him immediately.

Yan Jie's appearance was so recognizable that Liu's mother never forgot him: "Are you Yan Jie?"

Yan Jie was taken aback: "Do you recognize me?"

Mother Liu felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavored bottle: "It's really you..."

Yan Jie knew that he must be a little abrupt, so he said softly: "Auntie, don't be surprised if you come to the door suddenly. I came here to talk to you, nothing else."

"It's so late." Liu's mother took a step back: "I have something... I have something to say tomorrow."

Yan Jie could understand Liu's mother's concerns, and he didn't dare to insist rashly: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow. You can rest." He turned around and left as he said, simply and simply.

When he left, Ms. Liu was at a loss. She thought that Yan Jie would insist on expressing something, but he didn't.It's just that this walk made Liu's mother less nervous. She closed the door lightly, as if nothing had happened before.

When Yan Jie returned to the car, the neighbors who were watching his car before all dispersed, only a short and fat aunt was still there, and looked at Yan Jie.Yan Jie smiled at her, unlocked the car and opened the door of the driver's cab. Just as he was about to get in, he heard the aunt say, "Are you looking for Aunt Song?"

Yan Jie didn't know what Liu's mother's last name was, and she couldn't answer, so the aunt slapped her thigh: "Oh, it's Xiao Liu Yuaner's mother!"

Yan Jie smiled: "Do you know them?"

"We only have so many rooms in this place. We all know each other in the dark." The aunt stepped forward and said, "Are you Yuan'er's friend? From the city? Do foreigners speak Chinese?"

"My mother is Chinese, and I also work in China." Yan Jie didn't know where his mood came from, and he actually chatted with his aunt: "Liu Yuan doesn't come home often, so I'll come back and see for him."

"Didn't you just come back two days ago? I still saw him!" The aunt said: "Good guy, I brought back the big and small bags. I saw him the year before last and he was as rustic as us. I came back this year It looks like you, not to mention how good-looking it is, it can be seen that it is living a good life."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jie closed the car door and said, "Do you think he's doing well?"

"Can you come back in such a good way after a bad life?" The aunt said, "This child is also suffering. He hasn't had a good life since he was a child. But it looks good now. We all envy Aunt Song. Maybe he can follow in a few years. Yuan'er has gone to live in the city."

After hearing this, Yan Jie immediately became curious about Liu Yuan's past life.Liu Yuan seemed to be particularly concerned about the past, so he never mentioned a lot in front of him, so Yan Jie knew nothing about Liu Yuan's past.It is the easiest to ask obedient words from the aunt's mouth. Yan Jie brought out all the things about Liu Yuan's childhood in a few sentences, and only then did he understand how his character and temper were formed.

Behind this dog-like temper is actually a very insecure person.

After sending off the aunt, Yan Jie just sat in the car all night, smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, the long night was long, but he had long been used to it.When the sun was rising and every house opened its doors, he opened the car door and stepped down, just in time to meet Liu's mother coming from the path.

But her hand was empty, and she took nothing.

"Auntie?" Knowing that she was looking for her, Yan Jie tentatively called out.

Mother Liu sighed and turned sideways: "You...you come in with me."

Yan Jie walked back to the door with the red paint on it the same way he walked last night, and went in with Mother Liu, only then did he get a complete view of the hut.

A house built of brick and soil is completely incomparable to the reinforced concrete in the city. The walls are not even painted with white material. The space is very small and the lighting is insufficient. Except for the small yard, there is no place where the sun can be exposed .

"It's cold inside and outside, so I have to wrong you." Mother Liu closed the door, looked at Yan Jie and said, "There is still sun outside, let's sit outside and talk about it."

Yan Jie doesn't like to bask in the sun. Although he is not afraid of it, direct sunlight for too long will still make him tired.But he knew that Liu's mother didn't let him sit outside for the sake of the sun, but because she didn't want him to enter the house.

"Yuan'er told me everything, and I recognized him." Mother Liu sat down without looking at Yan Jie: "I'm getting old, and I don't understand what's going on with you young people. As long as Yuan'er is happy, Have a good time, that's all."

"Do you think he's good?" Yan Jie said so abruptly that Mother Liu couldn't understand.

"He is not good?"

Yan Jie shook his head: "Whether he is good or not has nothing to do with his work and life." He said, "The other half is with you."

Mother Liu didn't know what Yan Jie said, she didn't say anything, just listened.

"He doesn't know that I came to you, so don't worry, I'm not here to convince you that you must accept me." Yan Jie said: "As for your thoughts or opinions on me, I am willing to listen to you."

"I... have nothing to say." Liu's mother said, "I've only seen you as a living foreigner in my life. I'm old and I don't have much experience. I can't accept many things."

Yan Jie smiled.He suddenly felt that Liu Yuan sometimes spoke in the same way as his mother, sourly: "Auntie, let me ask you this. Do you really want him to marry a wife, have a child, and then buy a house in the city?" , take you over to live with me?"

Yan Jie's question was too blunt, and Mother Liu couldn't calm down for a while.

"He told me that you gave him 50." Yan Jie said, "Do you know the housing prices in first-tier cities?"

This question made Mama Liu confused.She has never watched TV, and has never stepped out of a small county town. It is impossible for her to know the housing prices in big cities, and she has never seen high-rise buildings.

"In your place, you don't produce food and vegetables for the country, and you can only make a living by sending money to your family when you go out to work." Yan Jie was not polite at all: "50 is a huge sum of money for you, but in In the city, you may not be able to afford a kitchen.”

Mother Liu's eyes widened immediately, but she calmed down after a while: "What do you mean by telling me this?"

"50, you can't buy a house on the sixth ring road in his city. Many places on the sixth ring road are vacant, and there are no off-plan houses." Yan Jie didn't answer Liu's mother, but just said to himself: "Your ideal life is impossible for Liu Yuan. You can't buy a second-hand house in the suburbs of 50 yuan or [-] square meters. It is said that the rest time is not enough, and the transportation cost is also an expense, what kind of good life do you think he can live?"

"You mean to say that you can make him live a good life, so you come here and talk to me so much?" Mama Liu stood up and said angrily, "My old woman is ignorant, short-sighted, and doesn't understand your city. life here, but it's not our turn to allow an outsider to dictate our family's affairs!"

"Auntie." Yan Jie stood up, still calmly: "You misunderstood."

"Misunderstand?"

"I'm not here for what you think. Don't you understand what I've said?"

Mother Liu looked at Yan Jie in a daze: "What do you understand? I don't want to understand."

"Whether Liu Yuan is lucky or not is not something I can give." Yan Jie said, "It's up to you."
