Xu Jun's life

Although I won the game of chess, I still have to eat asparagus.

There are still six days before the operation, and I feel more and more panicked.

The current mood is a bit like the summer vacation when I was studying, and put it in the last few days. I know that school will not start tomorrow, but it will start the day after tomorrow, but I just can’t play with peace of mind.

I was fed a glass of asparagus juice for breakfast, and felt sick all morning, seeing that everything was wrong, played with Li Xiu for a while with Lego robots, and found that this kid was too smart.I asked him: "Are you interested in physics?"

He said: "I will be an official like my father in the future."

I am speechless.

At lunch, I told Li Zhurong, "I want to go home and have a look."

"when to go?"

"I'll go in the afternoon." I took advantage of his inattention and buried the vegetables under the meal: "Do you have time in the afternoon?"

He looked at me with surprise in his eyes.

"If there's nothing else to do, let's go back together." I said according to my own plan: "But maybe I won't be able to come back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, which may delay your business."

"I can ask Yuan Hai to take the document there for me to sign." He corrected me.

"Then let's go over after dinner."

There is a reason why I chose to go in the afternoon.

It took a while on the road, and it was already dark when we got home. After chatting casually for a while, it was time for dinner.My mother must be embarrassed not to leave food.Since he kept it for dinner, it was impossible for him to live elsewhere at night.

Yuan Hai drove the car, and I slept on Li Zhurong's lap.He looked at the document, looked at it and suddenly asked me: "Teacher, you don't want your parents to sever ties with you, do you?"

I simply don't know where he got the idea.

"Why do you want to sever ties with my parents?"

"You're trying to hide it from them." He said succinctly, "You're too pessimistic, sir."

"I just wanted to have everything planned before the hospital." I sat up straight.

"Then what is your plan for me?" The young man with narrow eyes looked at me quietly, with a hint of staring: "Has the teacher planned my future?"

"You can take care of yourself." You will never wrong yourself.

"How to take care of it?" He also turned sideways. He was tall and dressed in a formal suit, and there was an inexplicable pressure.

Although he didn't know which sentence was wrong, he was obviously upset.

"How do I know... Anyway, you've had a good life these years." I thought about my words.

"Why does the teacher think that I have lived a good life these years?" There was no joy or anger on his face.

If you're not doing well, why don't you come to me?

I wanted to ask, but couldn't.

"Don't you have Chen Ke?" Anyway, according to Youxi, the patient is the biggest, and he doesn't dare to make me angry now, so what am I afraid to say?

"Teacher, I'll only say it once." He said coldly, "I have nothing to do with Chen Ke. I don't like him, and I haven't touched him."

"It's none of my business..."

"I've never liked anyone else, whether it's the woman who gave birth to Xiao'an, or Chen Ke. In 09, the newspaper reported that I was engaged, and it was also fake." He interrupted me, the look in Mo Lan's eyes was hard to see through.

What have you been doing for the past ten years?

I didn't continue this topic, I shrank to the end of the seat and closed my eyes to sleep.

He looked at the document for a while, and suddenly asked me: "Do you believe me, teacher?"

"No."

Although he is domineering, he still dares to admit what he has done.

After a while, I couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you say these words before?"

"The teacher didn't ask before." He didn't raise his head: "I didn't know the teacher cared so much about Chen Ke."

"I asked you before?" I retorted.

He laughed.

With a stretch of his arm, he took me over and pressed me down on his lap.

"Teacher, let's sleep for a while, I will call you when we arrive."

I slept for a long time, and woke up once in the middle of the night. I felt very warm and fell asleep peacefully.

When I woke up, I found that I was covered with a blanket and Li Zhurong's suit jacket. He called me: "Teacher, we are here."

I miscalculated the time and arrived before dark.

I called at noon, and I called again when I went downstairs. The sun was just right at dusk, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. I don’t know whose children were playing hopscotch. Several little girls were wearing horn braids and looked at Li Zhurong curiously. .

My dad answered the phone, saying that my mom had just left the house and went shopping for groceries.

I guess she went to the vegetable market outside the school and was going to help him pick up the vegetables. Li Zhurong listened to my phone call and was going to ask Yuan Hai to drive us there. I said no, the two of us just walked over there.

My mother works in the third canteen of the school, and cooks for the teachers. When she was young, she was hot and capable, and she was very popular in the family building.I often take me to buy vegetables, talking and laughing with the aunts who buy vegetables in the vegetable market.She taught me how to cook. My dad is good at teaching, but he doesn't know anything about life. He can forget to put salt in every dish.She said to me: "Son, even though you are a boy, you still have to learn how to cook. If I'm not at home, you will be responsible for cooking for your dad, do you hear me?"

Sometimes, when I go home after a long time, when I see my mother, I will suddenly be surprised to find that the capable mother in my memory has become a little old lady who needs the protection of her son.

The vegetable market is still the same mess, the vegetables are placed on the plastic sheet on the ground, and in the afternoon, there are piles of vegetable leaves everywhere.Li Zhurong has good eyesight, and when he saw it from a distance, he frowned, and before I could speak, he automatically adjusted to the "friendly" mode.

I found my mother in front of the fish stall.

The old lady was energetically negotiating with the fishmonger. My mother had been a cook for half her life, and she bargained accurately and ruthlessly. The fishmonger was a young man, his face flushed with anxiety, and he called her repeatedly: "Old lady, listen to me... ..."

"Mom." I walked over and took the old lady's arm first: "Where are you buying fish?"

My mother glanced at me, then at Li Zhurong, the smile on her face faded, and she didn't know who she was greeting, and said casually, "You're back?"

I took all the bags that the old lady was carrying.

"We just arrived." Li Zhurong showed an absolutely gentle smile: "So I came here with the teacher to help my aunt carry things."

The old lady didn't look back at him, her eyes returned to the fish, and she continued to poke at the fish. Maybe my mother bargained too hard. The middle-aged woman who collected money from the fish stall came over and replaced the young man. , and asked with a smile, "Auntie, is this your son?"

"It's my son... how do you sell this grass carp?" The old lady looked at the fish: "Is this a feed?"

"How can it be? It was just delivered in the morning and grew up eating grass. How could it be so lively? My grass carp is [-] yuan a catty. It is expensive, but it is fresh..." The woman continued: "Your son what do you do?"

"The one who teaches at the university." The old lady pointed to the biggest one without raising her head, "I want the one with the blue back."

"Heh, the young man is promising, and he became a university teacher at a young age. What do you teach?" The man talked to me while fishing: "Is this your student?"

"Taught the law." I answered him with a smile, and glanced at Li Zhurong, who smiled harmlessly.

"I thought you taught English. Your student looks like a foreigner. You look good." The fish seller quickly fished out the grass carp and weighed it: "Old lady, cut it open at the stall. Come on, save yourself going back and doing it yourself."

The fish should be deodorized with seasoning as soon as it is dissected, otherwise it will be bad if left for a long time.

"It's okay, I'll go home and cook by myself." The old lady took out her wallet while picking up the fish.

Li Zhurong was already used to taking out the money and handing it to the fish seller.

From childhood to adulthood, the three things my mother often did in the vegetable market were greetings, bargaining, and competing with others to pay the bill.Especially the last one, she taught me since childhood: this is etiquette.

Even Li Zhurong, whom she had always hated to see, was polite and courteous when rushing to pay the bill.

"How can I make you pay the bill? You are a guest." The old lady quickly took a piece of [-] change from her wallet, grabbed it and handed it to the woman: "Take mine, take mine."

It was probably not the first time for that woman to see people scrambling to pay the bill. She stood there with a smile on her face, waiting for my mother and Li Zhurong to decide the winner, and she did not forget to praise Li Zhurong again: "Young man is just polite."

The first time I saw Li Zhurong rushing to pay the bill with others, I wished I could take a picture with my mobile phone.

From the perspective of outsiders, it is definitely a harmonious and intimate picture.But I was afraid that Li Zhurong would blow up the fish stall. I rarely saw him so polite, except when facing his grandfather.

"Let me pay, Auntie." He knows the principles of interpersonal communication well, and he knows that he can't just give up after being politely said: "I'm a junior, how can I ask you to pay the bill?"

The old lady rushed to pass the money with the fish: "There is no reason for customers to pay..."

Before Li Zhurong had time to speak, there was a stabbing sound, and the plastic bag the old lady was carrying was completely torn apart. The grass carp jumped up happily and hit the penultimate button of Li Zhurong's Italian handmade suit jacket. Then slide down dripping with juice all the way.

Everyone gasped in amazement.

On the contrary, Li Zhurong, with a calm face, the fish fell on the ground, still bouncing happily, I bent down to pick it up, but he squatted down first, picked up the fish with a calm face, from I took another bag from the stall and put it in.

I looked at him in horror.

When was the last time he was so good-tempered?

"It's okay, just wash it..." The fish seller smoothed things over: "It's a black suit, it's dirty..."

In the end, Li Zhurong paid the money.

The old lady didn't speak much all the way, but I just felt that she was secretly happy.

Back downstairs at home, Yuan Hai was taken aback by Li Zhurong's appearance, quickly took a suit from his luggage, and followed us to deliver it.

I know that although the old lady deliberately put Li Zhurong together today, her attitude towards Li Zhurong is actually much better than before.

Her personality is like this, if she really doesn't want to see anyone, she will be polite and alienated.What happened today shows that she is not so annoyed with Li Zhurong anymore.

I don't know why the old lady changed her attitude.

But in fact, it doesn't matter anymore.
