God said I would meet you

"Get up? It's so early today, come over for breakfast."

Zhang Xinli held a bag of dried noodles in his hand, and his voice calling Lin Jinyu was so natural and calm, as if they had never been separated.

"...I've been getting up so early now." Lin Jinyu replied, and glanced at the dining table when passing by, it was really complete.Soup-filled steamed buns are obviously not eaten here, but Zhang Xinli found them somewhere, and placed them neatly on the table.

"I don't know what you want to eat, so I bought a few more." Zhang Xinli looked at the table with his eyes, understood his doubts, explained, and asked, "I still want to eat noodles, but the ones brought back don't taste good. , you want to eat and cook now."

"No need..." Lin Jinyu glanced at the dried noodles in his hand: "You don't need to bother."

"It's okay," Zhang Xinli said, "Anyway, I want to eat."

It must have taken a lot of time to get so many things, he must have woken up early, Zhang Xinli said: "The water is already boiling, the soup base is missing, I don't know where you put the sesame oil."

Lin Jinyu seldom puts sesame oil in cooking. He looked at Zhang Xinli for a while, said "I'll do it", walked into the kitchen, took the sesame oil from the top cabinet, washed the kitchen knife, cut some spicy millet, put green onion and ginger Garlic, pour the oil and make a simple spicy dipping sauce.

"It's not that you don't like spicy food." Zhang Xinli was a little puzzled, "Put these here."

Lin Jinyu didn't say a word, she got a bowl and put it on the table before saying, "Here's for you, you can't even eat anything that isn't spicy."

"No..." Zhang Xinli seemed to want to deny it, but Lin Jinyu said, "Lying will only reduce my favorability towards you, even if it's 'goodwill'—what I think is kindness."

Zhang Xinli closed his mouth.

It's not that I can't eat it, it's just that it tastes like chewing wax... Zhang Xinli never said this, but many things can be seen by others without saying it.

Lin Jinyu usually goes out directly after washing her face and brushing her teeth. For breakfast, she can either buy a dry pancake on the way or just save it.It was still early today, allowing two people who were once close to sit down and have a slow breakfast.

After putting the dipping materials on the table, he found another kind of noodles from the cabinet, went back to the gas stove, lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, and took some leftover scrambled eggs and fried meat from the refrigerator from yesterday , added soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, adjusted the noodle sauce, then put it down, stirred it, and took it out of the pan. After a quick job, he came out with the well-mixed noodle bowl, pushed it in front of Zhang Xinli, and said lightly: "The noodle soup came out soft, this one should be more to your taste."

Zhang Xinli was a little flattered and said thank you.

"You're welcome," Lin Jinyu sat down, picked up some soup-filled steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, and replied in a very official way, "Reciprocity is the norm."

Zhang Xinli sat down opposite him, and began to eat the bowl of noodles that Lin Jinyu gave him.The fog on the glass has not faded, and everything outside looks foggy. At this moment, it seems that there is only this house and the two people in it in the world.

Not talking about eating, not talking about sleeping, after the two men wolfed down in silence, Lin Jinyu finished eating and spoke first: "When are you going to buy a ticket? Let me know when the train time is set."

He ate much faster than in Zhang Xinli's memory. After Lin Jinyu finished speaking, he continued, "I'm going to be a tutor in the morning, and I'm going to help a teacher with a good relationship in the afternoon to sort out the documents. If you can't make it in time, you can go on your own. , not to say hello in person."

"Let's talk about something else," Zhang Xinli also put down his chopsticks: "Besides, there may not be a ticket."

Preferably without a ticket.

"It's up to you," Lin Jinyu saw that he insisted, stopped talking, got up and fed half a steamed bun to the dog: "What is the dog going to do? Tell me if you want to let me here, I will buy some dog food by the way, and I will eat it all." Starches are malnourished."

"Okay, let's see."

……

Of course Zhang Xinli was unwilling to leave.

After breakfast, Lin Jinyu went out, and Zhang Xinli put on a jacket with him, pretending to be going out.The dog didn't know what the two were doing, so he ran over and squatted at the door to watch.It is still small now, and it can't be mischievous if it wants to. After another month of growth, it will get bigger, and it will probably be time to be naughty.

The door was closed, and Zhang Xinli, who originally said he was going out to buy a train ticket, waited for a while, took off his coat, and began to tidy up the house.Cleaning the furniture, cleaning the windows, sweeping, mopping the floor, taking out the garbage, he did everything carefully.

Housework seems to have no technical content, but it is very tedious and tiring to do. Zhang Xinli is not afraid of hard work, but he doesn't know if it is useful.

There are two rooms, one living room, one kitchen, plus a bathroom. It is also a big project to clean up.The dog circled around his legs, wagging its tail and flapping the broom and mop, adding a lot of trouble to the housework, but Zhang Xinli did not severely reprimand him.After mopping the floor with the little naughty ghost, he put the mop away, picked it up, looked at the dirty puppy for a moment, sighed, and said to it: "If only you could talk Say something nice for me, huh?"

……

At night, when Lin Jinyu came back, she thought she had gone to the wrong building.

Although he is not a big lazy person now, he will clean up at least once when he is free on weekends. Hui wanted to cancel the rent, so he cleaned up a lot of waste paper and garbage. Lin Jinyu kindly told him to leave it alone and clean up by himself, but he never Empty, let it go first.

Therefore, before Zhang Xinli came, this fish｜希＾椟．Ga room is a little messy.

However, at this moment, when he stepped into the room, Lin Jinyu almost doubted her own eyes.This, this shiny floor, this shiny tabletop, this spotless kitchen table, is this still my own small rental house where I can live in it, as long as the dust doesn't choke people to death?

"Back? Come to eat."

The food on the table was steaming hot. Seeing him coming back, Zhang Xinli greeted him as if he was the owner of the house.

"Didn't you buy a ticket and leave?" Lin Jinyu was very surprised: "I remember you promised to stay just one night."

"I went," Zhang Xinli said, "There is no ticket."

Seeing that Lin Jinyu didn't believe it, he continued, "There are really no tickets for the Spring Festival travel."

China's Spring Festival travel is really scary. During the big day of the new year, everyone wants to be with their families and the people they miss the most. This is a force majeure, and you can't blame him.

"..." Lin Jinyu felt that he was telling lies, but it was difficult to verify for a while.The Spring Festival travel tide has indeed come, and the station is quite far from here. He has been busy all day, and he is so tired that he has no time to spare. Now he goes out to see if there are any tickets.

When he was hesitant to comment, Zhang Xinli added fuel to the fire: "Going back from here not only takes the train, but also takes several bus transfers. The nearest tickets are really after the year." He said, "Let's eat first."

It is difficult for people who have not been tired all day to realize how happy it is that someone has prepared a meal and waited for you when you go home.Zhang Xinli turned slightly to the side. Behind him was a table full of fragrant dishes, basically Shanghai cuisine, including sweet and sour pork ribs, eight-treasure duck, fried shrimp with broccoli, and even a can of three delicacies soup.

Lin Jinyu once again: "..."

This time I was hungry.

Babao duck is very troublesome to sit up, and the stewed soup is a dish that can be prepared without talking for hours. Lin Jinyu entered the door, took off her coat and hung it on the shelf, and asked: "...Could it be you who made it? "

Zhang Xinli raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise?"

The ducks he bought in the vegetable market are live ducks, he stewed the soup little by little, peeled the shrimps one by one, and his Shanghai cuisine teacher is the nanny of Lin Jinyu's family, who has passed many cooking tests, The old aunt who stood out from n people and was recognized by Papa Lin——Although Zhang Xinli is not a chef of Shanghai cuisine, the dishes she cooks naturally have a three-point family taste.

He said: "I really don't have a ticket, please take me in for a while, I don't want to live in vain, I will cook for you."

Chasing people is to give play to one's own strengths. No matter what aspect, he can't move Lin Jinyu's mouth, but as a living person, Lin Jinyu always has preferences.

Lin Jinyu listened to his words, and thought to herself: It takes at least an hour to kill a duck, pickle it, prepare other vegetables, and clean it up. Do you have 48 hours a day?It's only when I go to the station that there is a ghost.

Zhang Xinli said: "Also... You said that dogs can't eat leftovers. I went to buy a bag of dog food and came back. I don't know if it is qualified, but I gave it some to eat anyway."

He talked about everything like a kindergarten kid or a middle school class leader reporting work to the head teacher. Lin Jinyu rarely saw him so... obedient and cute.Zhang Xinli was going back on his word and didn't keep his promise, but for some reason, he just couldn't feel disgusted.

Suddenly, his legs seemed to have suddenly become conscious, and he walked to the table and sat down. Zhang Xinli saw that he didn't seem to be angry because he didn't go away, so he sat down with him and handed him the chopsticks.

Lin Jinyu picked up a shrimp...well, it was delicious, very similar to the food at home in the past.

"A two-month-old puppy...can't be fed dry dog ​​food." He seemed to lose control of his mouth and throat, and instead of criticizing Zhang Xinli for not keeping his promise, he talked about the dog with him: "It's easy to loose stools, you have to soak water."

The little dog was full of food, and was rushing over to Lin Jinyu's lap to hold a grand dog welcome ceremony for him. Zhang Xinli bravely picked up a chopstick dish for Lin Jinyu, and said, "No wonder it seems a little loose... …Keeping a dog turns out to be such a hassle.”

"The raising method is different," Lin Jinyu said, "I don't have a son, so we may just have cats and dogs to accompany us in the future, and if we don't raise fine things, where will we spend our money?"

Zhang Xinli said, "We?"

"..." Lin Jinyu made a mistake, and immediately made up for it: "Oh, is it 'I' and 'you', or...you will have a son in the future?"

Zhang Xinli "Hmm..." for a while, did not give an answer, and ate his food slowly.

Lin Jinyu: "?"

He was a little chilled, thinking: what kind of reaction is this, he is hesitating... How old are everyone, and he went back to live a "normal" life for a while, maybe seeing people around him getting married and having children, his wife The child is hot on the kang, and looks very happy, so he must be a little moved.It's normal too... What does it have to do with me... It has nothing to do with me... Well, it doesn't matter... I'm so mad, I'm pissed.

In the next second, Zhang Xinli said, "Maybe, you can call me Dad if you want."

Lin Jinyu almost spit out the three delicacies soup after taking a mouthful.

How can someone tell bad jokes in such a serious manner, this scene is quite strange.

His embarrassment made Zhang Xinli smile slightly, Lin Jinyu was played by him, quite unbalanced, yin and yang said strangely: "Don't say it too early, aren't you the single heir of your family's n generation, how can you do without a son, the incense is cut off. "

Ugh, what a cliché, pay homage, pay tribute.

Zhang Xinli ate slowly, and said indifferently, "Aren't you also the sole heir of your family?"

Lin Jinyu said, "I'm out of the closet, so I'm no different from you."

It's really different, "Will he break up with me if he encounters problems in the future?" has become a knot in Lin Jinyu's mind. He said, "You haven't been home for a long time, and you didn't ask anything at home?"

It's been a long time indeed. Ever since he was with Lin Jinyu, Zhang Xinli never went home no matter the Chinese New Year or the holidays.

"I..." This is the opportunity Zhang Xinli has been waiting for for a long time. Lin Ye said, the first step to calm down your ex who is in conflict and listen to you is to calm him down. It is impossible for both parties to be depressed. communicate effectively.

If he can rediscover his interest in you, it's best to ask.

At this moment, six months and seventeen days after the breakup, in the middle of winter, in front of a playful puppy and a table of hot meals, Lin Jinyu finally inadvertently asked.

"I'm going home," Zhang Xinli said, "just after we broke up."

He said: "There is nothing wrong with the family. Zhang Xinhe moved here long ago. Last year, he took care of the chess and card room and the livestock on my behalf. It didn't matter if I didn't go back. As for my mother... It's a bit hard, but it's just a while, you stay I gave her all the money I gave me, and took her and my dad to have a physical examination, and bought traditional Chinese medicine for pregnancy, all of which have been adjusted, and the due date is August this year."
