Miss White Rose

"Thank you for your hard work today. These are all local eggs from your own home. You can take some home and eat them."

Yao Yan refused bitterly: "No need, leave it to Xingyan."

It takes four to 10 minutes to drive the car back. If it breaks, the car has to be washed. Besides, eggs can be bought anywhere, so there is really no need to bother.

"I left it for Yanyan, these are all for you," the little aunt stopped talking nonsense with him, and directly opened the car door, putting him on the passenger seat.

Yao Yan groaned, "You...you are so polite."

"You just keep it," Xu Xingyan looked at the side for a while, and said with a smile: "My little aunt's heart, every time Luo Jing came here, she would bring a big bag back with her."

The local eggs in the village are precious not because of the price, but because of the heart of the old people who saved them one by one.

"Go back and drive slowly, I'll treat you to dinner next week," Xu Xingyan waved and smiled.

Yao Yan stretched out his hand and gestured an 'OK'.

"Then will you stay for dinner?" The little aunt turned to look at the two of them and asked expectantly.

"No..."

Just as Xu Xingyan was about to say that they had to go back and move, Lin Shengmiao's phone rang. After a while, she handed the phone to her with a weird expression.

"Luo Jing came to you and said that your mobile phone has been unable to get through."

"Sister, the phone is out of battery, only to find out..." Xu Xingyan answered the phone and said.

"what?"

The tone of the ending changed, and his face became serious.

Lin Shengmiao and her aunt looked at her together, wondering what happened.

"We are here in Jiugan Village... ok, I see, don't worry... I'm fine, I'll go to a nearby epidemic prevention point to get a nucleic acid test later..."

After comforting Luo Jing and hanging up the phone, Xu Xingyan looked at Lin Shengmiao with a wry smile and said, "Two positive cases have been found in the community, and it has been sealed off. You can only enter but not exit."

Lin Shengmiao: "..."

The little aunt clapped her hands, and immediately said: "Then you can live here, the clothes and bedding are all ready-made, and there is a handful of shepherd's purse at home, just in time to make dumplings for eating."

"We..." Xu Xingyan wanted to say that they could live in the lounge on the second floor of the flower shop, but when she saw the old lady's nagging smile, she swallowed her words back.

Thinking of the loneliness of the old lady living alone on weekdays, she immediately decided to stay overnight, and changed her words: "The two of us can sleep in one room, and there is no need to clean up the house."

Wearing a mask, Xu Xingyan went to the nearest epidemic prevention point to finish the nucleic acid test. Leaning on Lin Shengmiao's shoulder, Xu Xingyan pointed to the luggage that had not been unloaded from the trunk. It's time to go to the street and pick out new clothes."

Before the nucleic acid results came out, they didn't dare to run too far. There was only one farmer's market near Jiugan Village, and there were two clothes shops in it, and they were basically opened by those aunts who used sewing machines, because of the surrounding market conditions. The reason is that most of the ready-made clothes in the store are styles that retired old ladies in the village like.

Lin Shengmiao rolled her eyes, tilted her head and kissed her hair, and said with a smile, "It's just right, I wore your pajamas yesterday, and today you are wearing my clothes."

Xu Xingyan, who was looking at the rain marks on the car window, turned to look at her girlfriend with joy when she heard this, "Fortunately, you are with me."

It's not impossible to be alone, but it feels really good to have you by my side.

"Of course, I still have to sleep with Ms. Xu," Lin Shengmiao laughed softly, "I cherish the job I got after defeating a room full of dolls."

Xu Xingyan straightened her arms forward. Under the sunlight, the platinum ring on her middle finger became more conspicuous. She smiled softly: "When I was having lunch just now, my little aunt looked at it several times. Guess what she thinks?"

Lin Shengmiao caught her finger to her lips and kissed it lightly, "I guess, she must be thinking, you look so good wearing it."

Answering with perfect marks, Ms. Xu leaned forward and presented her with a medal amidst the beating of her heart.

……

In the bedroom, my aunt is wearing presbyopic glasses and is reading today's morning newspaper. She originally followed her daily routine, which should have been done during breakfast, but the fact that Rhubarb ran away from home in the middle of the night disturbed her mind. As for procrastinating until now.

When Xu Xingyan came over, she didn't raise her head, she was still concentrating, she just shifted her body and said in disgust, "You're blocking the light."

"I have something to tell you," Xu Xingyan sat beside her, as if having a long talk.

The little aunt ignored her, "It's a big deal, I have to wait until I finish reading this newspaper."

"Okay, take your time," Xu Xingyan felt very uncomfortable as the manuscript was blocked in her throat.

After about a quarter of an hour, the old lady folded the newspaper carefully, took off her reading glasses, stood up and straightened her clothes, Shi Shiran said, "You can tell."

Another 5 minutes passed.

The old lady said calmly: "So, you have been talking for a long time, just telling me that the person you mentioned in front of me before is a girl?"

"No," Xu Xingyan shook her head and said, "I'm telling you that I like a very good girl. I love her very much and want to be with her forever."

The old lady tidied up the folds on her sleeves, and said calmly: "The word forever is not something that can be said casually. I have only used it at weddings in my life."

Xu Xingyan smiled lightly: "Flowers are naturally fragrant, and love is naturally long. This is what you taught me when I was young."

The old lady raised her eyelids and asked sharply, "Do you think you did something wrong?"

"No, I never felt that we made any mistakes in this matter, on the contrary," Xu Xingyan said seriously: "I am very happy, we are able to fall in love."

"In that case, why are you sitting here as if you're ready to be scolded?"

The old lady looked at Qizheng's sleeves with satisfaction, and continued: "As elders, we treat juniors with nothing more than correction of mistakes and support without mistakes. Why is it like going to the execution ground if you bring a partner home?"

Xu Xingyan showed a bright smile, squatted down, and leaned on the old lady's lap in attachment, and said coquettishly: "I knew it, little aunt is the best."

The old lady stroked her soft hair slowly, "But you did do something wrong today."

Xu Xingyan looked up at her with doubts in her eyes.

"You should call me earlier and tell me that you are bringing your partner, so that I can prepare earlier." The old lady nodded her forehead and said angrily, "It's not like now, a plate of vegetarian dumplings will be sent away." It seems that our family is so impolite!"

Xu Xingyan looked at her old man and wanted to say, you may have forgotten that they are here to find Da Huang.

Who knows, the old lady plausibly said that if she knew about this, what did she care about rhubarb!

Downstairs in the kennel, Rhubarb, who was full of food and drink, suddenly shivered, his whole body was chilly, and he couldn't help but think of the miserable experience of falling into the pit last night and shivering in the cold wind and rain, and immediately hugged himself in distress , vowed never to sneak out of the house again.

In the bedroom upstairs, my aunt is still discussing the menu with Xu Xingyan carefully: "Can I make borscht at night? I just bought beef brisket and canned tomatoes at home, steamed a fish, fried some vegetables, and roasted a beef bone marrow ...By the way, does Kobayashi have any taboos?"

"Don't worry, she loves to eat whatever you do," Xu Xingyan put her arms around the old lady's neck, and kissed her on the cheek: "I didn't look at the shepherd's purse dumplings at noon, she ate twenty in one sitting. Well!"

In order to appease the old lady's heart, Xu Xingyan clung to her ear, revealing that Lin Shengmiao was full of lunch and quietly ate Jianweixiaoshi tablets.

The little aunt immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes: "That's true for this child. Let me tell you when she's full. I'm afraid it won't be enough, so I added a few more for her. It's so uncomfortable to support her stomach."

Xu Xingyan thought to herself, it is precisely because you filled it for her that she forced it down.

……

In the evening, in the small living room.

"Xiao Lin, it's just plain food, poor hospitality, don't be offended..."

The little aunt sat on the main seat, and greeted her with a cordial tone and elegant demeanor.

Lin Shengmiao looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He had a new understanding of "rough tea and light meals". He felt that Aunt Xu's attitude was very similar to that of a rich mother-in-law facing a rough-footed son-in-law in the old society. It's the first time I came to the door, and besides paying attention to it, I also faintly showed some unscrupulous arrogance.

She immediately showed the attitude she should have, bowed her head slightly and respectfully said: "No, you are too polite."

The little aunt smiled satisfied, and said, "Don't be dazed, let's start eating..." She was also very enthusiastic, and helped Lin Shengmiao serve a bowl of borscht with a strong fragrance, thus announcing the official start of dinner.

To be honest, Lin Shengmiao had a very happy meal. Naturally, not all the dishes on this big table were cooked by the old lady herself. Except for the borscht, the rest of the dishes were ordered from the best nearby hotels, and they tasted very good. good.

On the contrary, Xu Xingyan, because she was always paying attention to the atmosphere at the dinner table, couldn't eat.

Especially in the middle of eating, my aunt gave her a wink and called her to the next room.

As soon as Xu Xingyan entered the door, she asked nervously: "What's the matter? Is there any problem?!"

The little aunt glanced at her with a secret smile, didn't speak, but took out two red envelopes from a side drawer, one thick and one thin, put them in front of her, and said to her, "Come on, choose one yourself. "

Xu Xingyan looked at her, confused, "What do you mean?"

"According to our rules," the old lady shook the red envelope and raised her eyebrows, "If it's the first time the person you're talking to comes to the door, the elders in the family will give a small red envelope of 200 yuan. I have a family member, so I have to give a bigger red envelope, here are all of them, one is two hundred, the other is two thousand, you choose, whichever you choose, I will give whichever one you choose."

Seeing the old man's teasing eyes, Xu Xingyan covered her eyes dumbfounded, but chose the thicker red envelope without hesitation, "What do you want me to choose? There is no doubt about it!"
