Xingyu Street

In a blink of an eye, Duan Xuyan lived in Xingyu Ancient Town from April to early June.

The beginning of June is the birthday of the grandma of the homestay. She is 65 years old this year, and her two sons are living abroad, and they don’t see each other all year round. Duan Xuyan occasionally sees their family in the video, and once in a while, they hear people in the video say to leave I can't go back if I don't drive, so I paid the grandma of the hotel to buy what I need.

Duan Xuyan took this matter to heart, and said something smoothly when he saw Mo Xiaoyu in the morning.

Mo Xiaoyu has always liked grandma at the homestay, because every time he went to see Duan Xuyan, grandma would give him delicious food and invite him to eat together, so when Duan Xuyan said that grandma was going to celebrate her birthday, she thought about giving him a gift.

He stood on the steps, holding a cup of soy milk in one hand, and a small fan that Duan Xuyan bought for him with strong wind in the other, blowing his hair back, revealing his smooth and fair forehead, "Grandma's birthday, present."

"Then what gift does Xiaoyu want to give grandma?" Duan Xuyan said as he walked to the edge of the steps, being careful not to step on the grass, bent down to pick up the mineral water bottle that was thrown in the flowers, and put it into the woven bag in his hand .

"Give grandma flowers."

"Grandma has a lot of flowers."

Thinking of the beautiful little yard of the homestay grandma, Mo Xiaoyu also thinks that she is not short of flowers, so what else can he give?

"...painting for grandma."

"Okay, then Xiao Yu gets up and draws after taking a nap."

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Duan Xuyan is afraid that he will suffer from heat stroke, so he won't let him go out to pick up bottles after noon, but Mo Xiaoyu is very ambitious, and thinks that if you don't pick up bottles, others will pick them up, but Duan Xuyan said that if you go out to get heatstroke All the money earned will be used to buy medicine, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Mo Xiaoyu didn't know what it meant, but he knew that he didn't want Duan Xuyan to be unhappy, so he picked up bottles in the ancient town when it wasn't so hot in the morning. Duan Xuyan would usually accompany him when he had time.

So people in the ancient town could always see Duan Xuyan walking in front with a woven bag, and Mo Xiaoyu walking behind with a small fan.

The clerks in the coffee shop are not surprised to see such a scene from a distance, but the tourists in the ancient town find it very fresh, especially when they see the watch on Duan Xuyan’s wrist and the high luxury from head to toe, they will secretly lament that he is rich. People's thinking is really weird.

At noon, when the sun rose and the temperature rose, Duan Xuyan took Mo Xiaoyu back to the B&B.

Duan Xuyan had already greeted Grandma Ying a long time ago, and she will not need her to deliver meals to Mo Xiaoyu in the future. Mo Xiaoyu eats three meals a day with him, and Mo Xiaoyu eats whatever he eats.

It's not the first time Mo Xiaoyu has come to the place where he lives. As soon as he enters the door, Mo Xiaoyu will obediently change his shoes, and then follow Duan Xuyan to the bathroom to wash his face. The woven bag for the bottle is placed in the yard, and no one will touch it.

Duan Xuyan will take him to the next door after washing his face.

The number of tourists in the ancient town of June has gradually increased. In addition to Duan Xuyan, there are more residents in the courtyard where the grandma lives. There is a middle-aged couple, a young man with a guitar on his back, and a man who always wears Girl in long dress and her friend.

Mo Xiaoyu is not afraid of crowds, nor is he afraid of strangers, but he will be very sensitive to other people's staring eyes, and will become very cautious.

Almost as soon as he entered the door, everyone sitting in the dining room turned their heads and cast curious glances at him. Mo Xiaoyu stopped walking in instantly, standing there at a loss for what to do.

Duan Xuyan came in two steps later than him, saw the person standing still, walked up to him and said softly: "Xiaoyu, what's the matter?"

Mo Xiaoyu hid behind him without saying anything.

Duan Xuyan held the thin wrist of the person behind him, "Xuyan is here, what are you afraid of?"

Mo Xiaoyu raised his head that was originally lowered, and met Duan Xuyan's gentle and firm eyes, and gradually he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Duan Xuyan took his hand, pulled him out from behind her, walked to the dining room, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, everyone."

When Mo Xiaoyu heard what Duan Xuyan said, he followed suit, "Hi everyone."

They are strangers to each other, and they don't even know the name of the place, so they feel a little embarrassed to see Duan Xuyan being so polite.

"Hello."

"Did we scare him just now?"

Duan Xuyan looked at Mo Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu?"

Mo Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, "No."

Duan Xuyan explained a few words for him, "He's just a little shy." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the kitchen, where the grandma of the homestay was still busy.

Duan Xuyan pointed to the kitchen and said to them, "Let's go in and have a look."

"Please do as you please."

After Duan Xuyan led Mo Xiaoyu into the kitchen, several people looked at each other in dismay.

The smile on the faces of Duan Xuyan and Mo Xiaoyu deepened when the grandma saw Duan Xuyan and Mo Xiaoyu. She gave them two strawberries from the washed strawberries, "I bought them this morning, they are very sweet."

Duan Xuyan gave his own one to Mo Xiaoyu, and while rolling up his sleeves, he said to the grandma of the hotel: "Grandma, what can I do for you?"

The grandma of the homestay pointed to a few dishes that had already been fried, "Then help me take out all the dishes."

"it is good."

Duan Xuyan was about to take out the biggest and heaviest casserole, when Mo Xiaoyu came over after eating the strawberries, "Xiaoyu also wants to."

Duan Xuyan pointed to the only two cold dishes on the table, "Then Xiaoyu will serve these two."

Mo Xiaoyu was a little happy, picked up a plate of sugar tomatoes and followed Duan Xuyan out.

Ten minutes later, everyone in the homestay sat down at the long dining table in the dining room.

Mo Xiaoyu sat next to Duan Xuyan, on his right was Duan Xuyan, and on his left was the grandma of the homestay. The people he was familiar with on the left and right made him less restrained and uncomfortable at the beginning.

Today, the grandma of the homestay stewed a large pot of potato and beef brisket. Everything in the casserole was stewed so badly that it melted in the mouth.

Mo Xiaoyu especially likes to mix food and rice together, Duan Xuyan often eats with him, and knows his habit, seeing that he doesn't dare to stretch out his chopsticks because there are other people on the table, and when he only dares to pick up the food in front of him, he uses The serving spoon scooped up two pieces of potatoes and put them into Mo Xiaoyu's rice bowl, and helped him mix them well, and then used the serving chopsticks to put two pieces of beef brisket inside.

Mo Xiaoyu watched him help her pick up vegetables, her almond eyes bent like crescent moons.

Duan Xuyan saw him smirking, and put the back of his hand against his face, "What are you laughing at? Eat quickly."

The two girls at the table had been secretly watching them. The girl in the long skirt looked at them a little hotly, and suddenly said jokingly, "Ah, I'm so envious. I will also find a boyfriend who will serve me food in the future."

The short-haired girl next to her picked up a piece of beef brisket for her, "At least you realized that you have a girlfriend who will help you pick up the food."

The two girls looked at each other and suddenly laughed together. No one knew why they were so funny.

At the end of the table sat the boy who carried a guitar everywhere he went and said little. He didn't participate in any topics at the dinner table, and just focused on eating.

Duan Xuyan was seated closest to him and had good hearing. He hid the boy's words in the grains of rice, and let him hear the words that should have been inaudible to no one but himself.

"It's disgusting," he said.

Duan Xuyan knew that he wasn't talking about those two girls, he was talking about him and Mo Xiaoyu.

There was no anger on his face, but when he was sandwiching a piece of corn for Mo Xiaoyu to bake, he turned his head and glanced at him coldly as if inadvertently.

Just looking at each other, the boy got a mouthful of food stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down.

He abruptly put down his half-eaten bowl, got up and walked out, his face flushed from coughing, and he was in a daze.

Almost everyone at the dining table cast concerned eyes, and the grandma and grandpa of the homestay went out to watch worriedly.

Even Mo Xiaoyu turned half of his body away, looking worriedly at the coughing person outside.

Duan Xuyan put down the chopsticks in his hand, held Mo Xiaoyu's cheek with both hands, turned his face back, and took off the rice grains stuck to the corner of his mouth, and said: "Eat well, you see, that person will choke if he doesn't eat well." Arrived."

Mo Xiaoyu nodded in understanding.

After lunch, Duan Xuyan sent Mo Xiaoyu home to take a nap, and when he came back, only the grandma was washing dishes on the first floor of the hotel.

Duan Xuyan walked to her side, "Grandma, I have something I want to discuss with you."

The grandmother of the homestay turned off the faucet, wiped her hands with the apron tied around her waist, "Well, what's the matter?"

Duan Xuyan was silent for a few seconds, "Grandma, it's like this, I have to go back to City A in a few days."

Grandma was not surprised to hear the news. After all, when Duan Xuyan booked the B&B for such a long time, she spent money to extend the time later.

"Then... does Xiaoyu know about this?"

Duan Xuyan shook his head, "I haven't figured out how to tell him yet."
