Coquettish
Chapter 24
Xie Yan failed to settle the account in the end.
Last year's account has been settled, and this year has just started again, so I didn't remember how much money.
Xie Yan quickly thought of another way, saying that he had to pay in advance and let Fu Qing come here to buy things and directly deduct the money from the account.
Unfortunately, this approach was also immediately rejected.In the end, the proprietress was so pestered by Xie Yan that she had no choice but to call Fu Qing to take him home.
Xie Yan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately let it go.
The proprietress smiled and stuffed the beef into his hand: "What's the matter with you little brother? If you want to help Brother Fu pay the bill, you tell him first, let him come and talk to me, and I will let you pay in the future."
Just this one store made Xie Yan physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't give up lightly, and found two more stores, both of which said the same thing, they couldn't even give away money if they didn't eat hard and soft.
On the surface, Xie Yan returned with a full load of two catties of beef, a bag of oranges, and two catties of pears, but actually got nothing.
The Fu family was lively, a group of people were playing cards and eating wine in the yard, but the kitchen was empty, only Fu Qing was cooking.
This is the tradition of the Fu family, handed down from Grandpa Fu's generation.Every year on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, the factory manager will be the host at his home, cooking and entertaining the key members of the same generation in the factory this year.Later, when the factory was gone, from debt collectors to construction workers, and finally to starting a company, this habit has not been left behind.
Seeing that Fu Qing was alone, Xie Yan didn't even want to go to the back room, and went straight into the kitchen with her things.He could only help more and more with those pots and stoves, so he sat on a small bench to peel oranges and eat them.
He took a white porcelain plate, peeled several oranges and put them on it. He removed all the tangerines, but he didn't eat any of them.
After Fu Qing finished frying a dish, Xie Yan came over with the plate and pushed it towards him.
Fu Qing broke open one and asked Xie Yan, "What's the matter, not happy?"
Xie Yan also broke off a piece of the remaining half of the orange and stuffed it into his mouth. It was so sour that he could make his teeth sour, but he swallowed it expressionlessly and lied without changing his face: "Because I ate a very sour orange. tangerine."
While talking, he took off the uneaten petal from Fu Qing's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, revealing his sharp white teeth.
Fu Qing shook his head, it seemed that he was not very happy, but very unhappy and a little angry.
But nothing major happened under his nose, Fu Qing didn't ask too much, after all, children have to have their own privacy.Besides, although Xie Yan has a bad temper, as long as it's not a big deal, it will come and go quickly, maybe it will be fine to eat oranges for a while.
Sure enough, when it was time to eat at night, Xie Yan ate oranges and got stomach acid, but she no longer thought about what happened at noon.
The main reason why he wanted to settle the bills for Fu Qing was that he was worried that these debts would become Fu Qing's crimes. No matter who it was, as long as they paid it off, there was no need to worry about it. There was nothing to be unhappy about.
It's just a bit embarrassing. I have been entangled with the shop owner for so long for no reason, and I was almost called to Brother Fu.
Xie Yan decided not to pass through those stores for at least half a year.
This dinner is another kind of celebration banquet. Xie Yan doesn't drink well and naturally doesn't like to communicate with strangers. Fu Qing doesn't want Xie Yan to go to the table to accompany the wine, so she treats him like a spoiled child. Let him eat some meals in advance and stay in the house.The dinner was lively and the atmosphere was good. Xie Yan came out to see it a few times, and Fu Qing was always drinking.
The wine was drunk for hours.
Fu Qing's drinking capacity was very good, and he didn't look drunk at the end. He sent the last guest out, and even wanted to clear the table before going to rest.
Grandpa Fu scolded him angrily across half of the yard: "If you don't lie down after a busy day, nothing will happen to these things overnight."
Fu Qing put down the things in his hand, and drank alone from the beginning to the end, he was a little dizzy, but he could still bear it.
He went to take a shower, opened the bathroom door, and saw Xie Yan sitting on a chair, and there was a white porcelain bowl on the table, which contained a puddle of white water, slightly yellowish, and there were many chopped pear slices.
Xie Yan turned her head to look at him, frowning: "I read on the Internet that eating some pear water can soothe hangovers, and I happened to buy pears today, so I made it."
He pushed the bowl of pear water towards Fu Qing, pursed his lips slightly, and said softly, "Do you want some?"
Fu Qing's breathing was heavier than before. He sat next to Xie Yan and picked up the pear water to see clearly that the pear slices inside were cut crookedly, and the surface was also bumpy. It seemed that peeling was also very difficult.
Maybe it was really a little drunk, Fu Qing thought inexplicably, it is better not to let Xie Yan into the kitchen in the future, it would not be worth it if he cut it.
After all, it is such a pair of beautiful hands.
He picked up the bowl and finished the bowl of pear water and pear slices, then smiled at Xie Yan with lowered eyes: "Well, Xiao Xie is so good."
He also warned: "Don't close the table, go to bed early, tomorrow is the New Year's Eve."
Xie Yan nodded, but did not leave.
Fu Qing was indeed tired. He lay back on the bed and fell asleep in a while.
This is rare.Perhaps due to his youthful experiences, Fu Qing had a hard time falling asleep with other people in the room.However, because he is good at endurance, no one has discovered this matter so far.
Xie Yan watched Fu Qing fall asleep, and was about to turn off the light, but her eyes fell on him involuntarily.His brows were furrowed, and even the scar on his forehead looked abrupt and hideous.
Are you unhappy even falling asleep?
Xie Yan wanted to smooth his eyebrows.
But just thinking about it, after looking at it for a while, Xie Yan turned off the light and said softly: "Have a good dream."
That night Fu Qing did have a dream. In the dream, Xiao Xie had the sweet taste of pears, and she really wanted to attract people to take a bite.
The next day, when Fu Qing woke up, Grandpa Fu and Xie Yan were playing paper-cutting around the table.
Grandpa Fu's hands are skinny and nimble. Although his eyes are invisible, a pair of scissors can make it very well. After measuring the size with his fingers along the edge of the paper, he can cut out neat and beautiful window grilles. They are not very complicated patterns, but It can make people look at it without taking their eyes off it.
He was not satisfied with cutting alone, it was not interesting, so he asked Xie Yan to bring a small pair of scissors to teach him how to cut window grilles.
Xie Yan is very good at acting, good at fighting, and looks good, but in terms of handwork, he is a useless snack that can't even peel and cut fruits.However, he wanted to make Grandpa Fu happy, but it was very difficult to cut, but he couldn't produce any results. After a long time of work, it was still a pile of shredded paper.
The tip of the scissors poked left and right between Xie Yan's clumsy fingers. Fu Qing was afraid that he would pierce his hand, so he walked over and said, "Master, Xiao Xie is only a child, don't cut your hand."
Grandpa Fu put down the scissors a little angrily, and said, "There must be someone in the family who can cut, and you don't have time to learn. If I die, it's Xiaoxie who can cut it."
He couldn't see his eyes, but he still turned his head towards Xie Yan: "Isn't it?"
Xie Yan didn't know what to say, so he shook his head at Fu Qing and said firmly, "Yes."
Only then did Grandpa Fu laugh: "Everyone says that Ah Qing is good and good, but it's because he didn't see Xiao Xie. He is really good."
Xie Yan's ears turned red from the praise.
Fu Qing also nodded, regardless of their children.
Today is New Year's Eve, even the old street is deserted, everyone is in a hurry to cook the New Year's Eve dinner, no one can help except Fu Qing.Under the command of Grandpa Fu, Xie Yan cooked some paste, and pasted the couplets and window grilles at home.
The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very early, and the dishes were not too much.Xie Yan sat across from Fu Qing, tasted every dish with chopsticks, and drank some wine with Grandpa Fu. Fu Qing drank too much yesterday, so he didn't even touch the wine today.Xie Yan grew up in a welfare institution, and never had a New Year's Eve dinner around the table like this family. Before eating, she secretly checked the toast to the elderly with her mobile phone, and memorized it seriously.
After eating, it's time to give lucky money.In the past, there were only two people in the Fu family, and Fu Qing was in his 30s, so it was not appropriate to give lucky money.But this year is different, there is another Xie Yan, only 20 years old, both Grandpa Fu and Fu Qing are much older than him, treat him like a child.
When Xie Yan was full, she just sat there by herself, sipping coke one mouthful at a time.
Fu Qing waved to him and said, "Come here."
Xie Yan didn't understand, so he put down his cup, walked up to Fu Qing, and asked, "What's wrong?"
He saw Fu Qing take out a bright red red envelope, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Happy New Year, Xiao Xie. In the new year, be safe, healthy, happy and happy."
Xie Yan was startled: "I'm already 20 years old..."
Fu Qing smiled and rubbed his head: "What's wrong with being 20 years old, you will always be 12 years younger than me."
Xie Yan said "oh", and squeezed the red envelope tightly in her hands, probably because of too much force, her palms were sweating.He has always been reticent, even less emotional than others, so he is extraordinarily indifferent to people and things. In the past, he felt that these ceremonial things were meaningless and even dismissive, but now he is happy about it.
He has no experience in receiving lucky red envelopes. After thinking for a while, he raised his head slightly: "Thank you brother."
When he said this, his voice was very low, and he had just drunk again, his voice was no longer as clear as before, and when he said the word "brother", it was extra soft and sweet.
Fu Qing was a little puzzled, Xie Yan was already 20 years old, a human being is already a youth at 20, but why is Xiao Xie cuter than a cub?
He paused, and then said: "Don't take it apart now, remember to put it under the pillow to celebrate the New Year when you go to bed tonight."
When Grandpa Fu heard this, he stopped drinking and yelled over here: "Thank you for coming, Grandpa also has lucky money for you. I am older than Ah Qing, so I should take my lucky money."
But maybe it was because he was getting older, Grandpa Fu searched for a long time but couldn't find the red envelope he had prepared in advance, but now that he had finished eating, he simply left Fu Qing alone to clean up the table, and brought Xie Yan into his room to find the red envelope. The red envelope is gone.
Grandpa Fu rummaged for a while before finding a box in the corner of the drawer, and stuffed it directly into Xie Yan's arms.
Xie Yan opened the lid of the box, and inside was a piece of emerald green jade, carved into the shape of Maitreya Buddha, with a good head of water, shining brightly under the light.
Grandpa Fu explained proudly: "I bought this when Ah Qing was born, and it's a pair with Ah Qing. It's a pity that he didn't live up to it. This piece of jadeite has never been owned, and it has stayed in my drawer until now. "
Even if Xie Yan didn't know the price of these jewels, he could tell that this piece of jadeite was worth a lot.
It's a pity that Grandpa Fu didn't give him a chance to refuse: "Eating the New Year's Eve dinner together is a family. Didn't you say in the morning that you will learn to cut window grilles to stick at home, and you won't admit it at night?"
Xie Yan couldn't say anything to refute, and abruptly failed to return it to Grandpa Fu.
He vaguely thought that this should belong to Brother Fu's own brother, but Grandpa Fu had no other grandchildren born, and later Fu Qing had no other close brothers worth taking home for the New Year, so Fu Grandpa gave this emerald to himself.
It's too precious, judging from Xie Yan's superficial human experience, everyone knows that it shouldn't be accepted.
But he wanted it instinctively.
Xie Yan picked up the box, her fingertips trembled when they touched the emerald surface, it was very cold.
He nodded slightly: "Thank you, Grandpa Fu."
Fu Qing didn't care what the two of them were doing inside. After clearing the table, he saw that Xie Yan was wearing a gray sweater, with his hands under his head, half lying on the sofa, his eyes half closed, his eyes seemed to be there, but nothing. Watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV in a daze.
Must be bored.
Fu Qing's heart moved slightly, and he walked towards Xie Yan, patted the kid on the head: "Go, I'll take you out to play."
Last year's account has been settled, and this year has just started again, so I didn't remember how much money.
Xie Yan quickly thought of another way, saying that he had to pay in advance and let Fu Qing come here to buy things and directly deduct the money from the account.
