Window 2, Seventh Canteen

After returning to Dali, the first thing is to prepare for the opening of the inn.

Different from the coldness of Beijing, even in winter, as long as there is sunshine, Dali is as warm as spring.

Jiang Wei put on a red sweater and squatted in the yard tossing the signs.

The wooden sign at the entrance has been finished, only the cover of the alley entrance has not been finished.

He held a paint pot in one hand and a brush in the other, writing orange characters on the lake green background.

Han Zilu carried the captain off the climbing frame and walked behind him, "Red matches green."

Jiang Wei answered casually, "Fuck race."

At this time, Doudou went downstairs yawning, and came over with her hands in her pockets, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Wei: "Get a signboard, the store will officially open the day after tomorrow, and the signboard doesn't even work."

Doudou: "Speaking of which, I really don't know what the name of our inn is." Looking down at the cloth, "No. 72? No more? Just No. 72?"

Jiang Wei hummed, but didn't speak, he was filling in the part that was not drawn the first time, and his hands couldn't shake.

Doudou moved a small stool and sat down, resting her chin and continued to yawn, "Anyway, call it an inn or something, you're number 72, who knows what you're doing."

After holding back a turning point, Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "I definitely don't know now, but I'll find out later."

Doudou: "Then why does it have to be 72? In my opinion, it should be more vulgar, get 66, 88, or 419? Just 69, it's better to remember."

Before Jiang Wei could speak, Han Zilu said with a smirk on his face, "I know you guys had a good time last night, so you don't have to shout all over the world."

Doudou raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter with the yelling? Don't let people show affection? It's not like the two of you, who are prudish and sneaky. I don't know how many serious tastes you have played."

Jiang Wei coughed, "Don't talk nonsense, we play normal events."

Doudou squinted her eyes to look at the two of them, then suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, the ring is pretty, who ordered it? I'll ask Erhei to give it to me too."

Han Zilu smiled and said nothing, Jiang Wei was a little complacent, "Keep it secret."

After lunch, Doudou and Erhei helped put up signs, first at the gate and then at the entrance of the alley.

After it was done, several people couldn't help taking a few photos next to the cover.

The photo shows blue sky and white clouds, and several people are dressed in red, blue, green and white. With that guise, it is simply a table with the most dazzling ethnic style.

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing all the time while taking photos, Han Zilu came over with two cups of coffee, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Wei pointed to the photo, "Look at this one, Doudou's expression is so funny."

Han Zilu took a look, sure enough, Doudou just caught Doudou staring at Erhei, and that angle made him more than 800 times ugly.

"Doudou is not photogenic." Han Zilu concluded, "Don't mess with it, try coffee, I just adjusted the machine, this is a test product."

Jiang Wei: "Huh? Experimental product? Then let Doudou and the others try it first."

Han Zilu: "You open a black shop."

Jiang Wei took the coffee with a smile, smelled it, "Xiang, it looks like Starbucks, you are too good, you can do this."

Han Zilu: "Compared to Starbucks, are you hurting me?"

Jiang Wei took a sip of the dense milk foam floating on the surface, and drank it into his mouth together with the coffee. When the hot coffee fell into his stomach, he felt his whole body warmed up, and the mellow bitter taste was even more refreshing. .

"I was wrong. I shouldn't compare you with Starbucks. It's not worse than 7day. How did you do it?"

Han Zilu: "There is no bean roaster now, and the fresh taste of 7day is still not available, but it is not bad. The coffee bean seller recommended by Erhei is quite reliable."

Jiang Wei: "Why don't you teach me how to do it tomorrow? I can help you when customers order coffee later."

Han Zilu: "What are you waiting for tomorrow, start learning now, come downstairs with me after drinking this cup."

Jiang Wei sternly said, "Obey, Master."

Jiang Wei drank several cups of extra strong one night in order to test his hands, but he was lying on the bed without any sleepiness, and he always wanted to move his hands and feet while holding Han Zilu.

But they just did it this morning, and he promised Han Zilu that he would only do it once today. Although he didn't mind breaking the agreement, Han Zilu didn't seem to be very interested.

Jiang Wei: "Don't want to? Really don't want to? Don't want to at all?"

Han Zilu: "Didn't it be agreed that at most once a day?"

"Hey, who took the initiative to come here for the second time yesterday?"

"You didn't toss until midnight the day before yesterday, how many times have I counted with you?"

Jiang Wei: "Okay, let's not talk about each other, neither of us is a good bird."

Han Zilu smiled and kissed Jiang Wei, "I'm thinking about something."

"What do you think?"

"You took a year off from school, and next year you will go back to repeat your senior year. What will happen to this store then?"

"Good question, I might as well not go back to school."

"No."

"Hey, you get nervous when you say this. I'm kidding you. I thought about it. Let's just recruit Doudou and the others. This year may be a little busy. Let the situation stabilize first, and then find someone to look after the store next year, plus volunteers. And Auntie, there should be enough people. Doudou and the others are close, so they don’t need to stay here every day, just come and see them every now and then. It’s enough for a year, and everything will be normal after I graduate.”

"What about me? You're a good boss. You didn't arrange a job for me."

"You? Nonsense, you are going to Beijing with me!"

"What are you going to do? Clean the floor and cook for you, waiting for you to go home?"

"Hey, that's a good idea. I've long wanted to experience what it's like to bring my own nanny."

"Don't make trouble, be serious."

Jiang Weiyi curled his lips, "Obviously you made the trouble first."

Han Zilu: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Jiang Wei: "You can go to school with me. There are visiting students in each department, and the requirements are not strict. You can come as long as the department agrees. You don't have a diploma, but you can learn something. You can choose a major you are interested in first. Then I went to find the teacher of that major and asked what the trainees need to prepare. When you are done, you can come in as a trainee. You can just experience life, or learn something serious also."

Han Zilu looked at Jiang Wei seriously, Jiang Wei paused, and continued: "Then we can be classmates, although only for one year."

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, Han Zilu didn't respond for a long time. He pinched his nose sideways, "Hey, give me some reaction."

"Huh? I'm wondering what major to study, otherwise I'll study ceramics like you, and I can even burn some dishes for myself."

"You can think fast enough... I just said that."

Han Zilu narrowed his eyes, "I didn't think about it the first day, but I didn't expect it to be possible."

Jiang Wei reached out and kneaded Han Zilu's ear, "I told you earlier that everything will be fine, do you believe it now?"

Han Zilu reached out to block the dishonest guy, "You are not afraid of kidney deficiency."

Jiang Wei: "Don't be afraid, I'll ask you to make up for it if you're weak. This is called collecting yang to make up yang."

"You just talk."

Jiang Wei held onto Han Zilu's place, "You said it, then I'm really kidding."

Han Zilu frowned, turned over and sat on Jiang Wei.

Their room is facing the Erhai Lake. In the middle of the night, the moon casts a golden light on the water.

The Cangshan Mountain in the distance was obscured by the mist, and the veil was not lifted until the next day.

It snowed all night, and the top of the mountain seems to be more white. Cangshan Mountain has entered its own winter, and the snow is getting thicker and thicker. It will not turn into streams until the next spring and pour into Erhai Lake.

The business of the inn was mediocre in the first few months, and the occupancy rate was often lower than half, but for some reason, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the number of guests booking rooms suddenly increased, so that Jiang Wei and Han Zilu couldn't get away and go home. They each asked for leave with their families, and agreed to come back when they were done with their work.

I thought that after the Spring Festival, if there were fewer customers, they would be free, but after the festival, the occupancy rate of more than [-]% and the many problems of the new store opening still made the two unable to get away, and it was Qingming before they knew it.

Han Zilu made coffee for two guests, and finally had time to sit down in the book bar for a while, picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to his eldest sister Han Qi, this text message was supposed to be sent in the morning, but he was busy all the time, so he only had time now .

Han Zilu didn't go home for Chinese New Year this year, and missed a lively event.

After several struggles, Han Qi finally brought her transnational boyfriend back home, gave him an authentic Chinese New Year experience, and also gave her family a moderate fright.

Although Han Qi had mentioned her boyfriend's situation to her parents a long time ago, the first time the two elderly people saw the tall golden-haired boy, they still had the feeling of seeing an unknown creature. Human relations are not very optimistic.

However, Han Qi was determined this time, and he must make a decision on this matter, so he rented an apartment near his home and lived with his boyfriend temporarily. One is to prepare for the next stage, and the other is to let him She often appears in front of her parents, subtly improving their favor.

After a few months, the effect turned out to be better than expected. Now the two old men treat their future son-in-law like their own sons, asking him to eat at home when they have nothing to do. Knowing that he likes to eat dumplings, they specially changed the dumplings for him. .

Everything is going well, the wedding date of the two has been set, and the wedding is expected to be held in May.

The relationship between Han Zilu and his eldest sister has always been very good, but they haven't had much contact in recent years. In recent months, they have regained the intimacy they had in the past few years.

Han Qi reported to Han Zilu whenever there was a situation, and Han Zilu also talked more and more about him and Jiang Wei.

The older sister is very satisfied with her younger brother's current situation, but she is also worried about his future. Among other things, winning her father's approval is a big problem.

Han Zilu didn't hide anything from Han Qi, and he said that he planned to come out in the future, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. He planned to infiltrate the elderly a little bit, do more science popularization, and then find the most appropriate time to tell his situation. Okay, take Jiang Wei back and let them know.

Han Qi was a little busy some time ago, now that her marriage is settled, she starts to help her younger brother, and infiltrates some homosexual topics into Han Tiesheng in her daily life.

Some words were too abrupt for her to say by herself, so she dragged her boyfriend to act together.

For example, when the family was having dinner, and a certain military-themed TV series was playing on TV, she deliberately said that those men lived and ate together every day, and they had such a good relationship.

The boyfriend will take over the conversation at this time, and say that the army is a holy place to stir up foundations.

Naturally, the elderly don't understand what gay is, so the boyfriend said, gay is gay.

At this time, Han Qi said by the way, gay means homosexuality, that is, men and men together.

At first, the Han family couple never took up conversations on this kind of topic, but yesterday Han Tiesheng suddenly asked: Why are they all men together?Together like a couple?Isn't that perverted?

Han Qi hurriedly said, it's not a pervert, homosexuality is a natural love relationship, and in many countries you can even get married, it's just different from ordinary heterosexuality in gender.

As soon as he said this, the old man frowned and stopped talking, and the topic was quickly diverted to other places.

However, Han Qi felt that this was a good start, and it would be subtle, and it would take another year or two for them to understand.

She texted Han Zilu today mainly to talk about this. Of course, she didn't mention Han Tiesheng's pervert and frowning, but said that she was slowly infiltrating and educating the two elders, and helping Han Zilu prepare the groundwork in advance.

Han Zilu chatted with her intermittently for more than ten minutes. Although he was worried when he put down the phone, he was more satisfied.

The life he had dreamed of now was already what he had dreamed of. He only hoped that everything would go on smoothly so that he could work hard slowly and get his father's approval one day.

On Han Qi's side, just after chatting with Han Zilu, she was called to help in the kitchen, taking over from Han Zhen to continue rolling the dumpling wrappers, and asked Han Zhen to spend some time with the children.

During the handover, Han Zhen deliberately touched Han Qi, "Sister, how is Liu'er doing recently? I won't come back for the holidays, and I won't contact my family. I miss him."

Han Qi: "Don't worry, it's pretty good, didn't you say it before, he's starting a business with a friend, and he's busy at the beginning."

Han Zhen said it was fine, but actually wanted to say that Liu'er has always only contacted you, only recognized you as her sister, and had nothing to say to me.

In turn, I would think that the reason why Han Zilu is close to the elder sister is because they both went out early to make a living, and naturally they have more common language, while he has always stayed with his parents, married and had children in his early twenties, and lived a life that can be seen at a glance. Life, of course, cannot be integrated with them.

Although she is not dissatisfied with her current life, Han Zhen still has an indescribable envy for Han Qi and Han Zilu, especially seeing that they are always chatting and sending text messages, she feels a little jealous.

She also tried to send text messages to her younger brother, but it was nothing more than a few short words from the parents, and she had nothing to say after she finished speaking. I really don't know why my elder sister can chat with her younger brother for a whole day.

Curiosity is like a seed buried in moist soil that will germinate when the temperature is right.

At this moment, the whole family is busy in the kitchen, and only Han Zhen is with the child. Coincidentally, a text message came in from Han Qi's cell phone. She glanced at it and saw her brother's name.

The curious seed grew into a big tree in an instant. Han Zhen grabbed the phone and clicked on the text message.

There are only a few words on it.

[Don't worry, everything will be fine. 】

Han Zhen wondered, why do you say everything will get better?Is there something bad to hide from her?So I went back to the inbox, clicked on the previous text message, and after seeing it, it became out of control.

Halfway through, she got up and stood behind the door, blocking the door with her body in case the elder sister entered the room suddenly, and just stood there and read all the text messages.

Putting down the phone, Han Zhen felt a mess of unspeakable emotions.

There are surprises, doubts and worries, but more anger and confusion.

She was angry that those two people concealed the truth from her, and she didn't understand how her elder sister could say such words. Seeing that her younger brother was about to go astray, instead of stopping her, she even contributed to the flames. What did she mean?

Over the years, the subtle hatred towards her sister turned into irrational speculation. Han Zhen suddenly felt that maybe Han Qi was trying to tease Han Zilu on purpose. If she, Han Qi, adds fuel to the flames, it is very likely that her father will drive away the son who was brought in. At that time, there will only be two daughters left in the family. No matter whether it is to divide the property or the house in the future, as the eldest sister, she will always get it. The largest portion.

Following this line of thought, Han Zhen became more and more angry as she thought about it. Looking at her young child, she felt that there was no place for her in this family.

So she changed her clothes and went out with the child in her arms without saying hello.

The second elder of the Han family was used to his daughter's temper, so he didn't think much about it.No one knew, Han Zhen ran directly to the uncle's house and found the eldest brother Han Jiye.

She has always had a good relationship with this brother, not for anything else, but because they are the most unpromising ones in the eyes of their parents. Han Jiye, like Han Zhen, is the type who gets married early and has children, and devotes himself to his family.

However, unlike Han Zhen, Han Jiye, as the eldest in the family, will only dislike his parents even more because of his unmotivated personality.

Now he lives and eats at Han Tielin's house, and he has become Han Tielin's pissing bucket. Whenever he feels unsatisfactory, he will get angry at him. The most common thing he says is, "Look at Xiaoliu, and then look at you. I knew it earlier. Just leave him and send you away."

When Han Zhen arrived at the uncle's house, Han Jiye was cleaning the pigsty in the yard.

As soon as Han Zhen saw him, her nose felt sour, and the grievances she had held all afternoon came out of her brain.

She ran directly to Han Jiye, opened her mouth and said, "I tell you, Han Zilu is gay!"
