afternoon tea of ​​love

It's just how she feels.The remaining two didn't think so.

"I think about what I was doing when I was 19. Anyway, I'm not having a baby. I don't want to just be a mother to someone else." Ji Xiaofu leaned on the railing of the bay window, talking to herself melancholy.

"I'm not used to it either. At first..." Yang Xiao thought for a while, then sighed, "At first we beat... I beat her up. I didn't realize until later that I also felt very wronged. I never Being a father, and being a father for the first time, is too much."

"..." Ji Xiaofu stared blankly at the night, not knowing what to say.

"No matter how frustrating life is, you have to live it seriously, don't you?" Yang Xiao lay on the bed, murmured before closing his eyes and falling asleep, rather than telling others, he said it to himself.

Standing at the door of the apartment, Zhang Fan raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated for a long time.It's a bit awkward to run to knock on the door of other people's couples so early in the morning.But there is no way, I have to leave, at least I have to say hello.

Just as he was thinking about softly knocking on the door, Yang Xiao came up the stairs from behind. It seemed that this person had the habit of getting up early. Zhang Fan thought about it, and hurriedly turned around to say hello. The phone rang again, and he hurriedly said hello and answered the phone at the same time. , Mmmmm, handed the phone to Yang Xiao, "Your friend's phone number!" Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, showing a hint of helplessness, Zhang Fan quickly switched him to the hands-free state.My heart says that people with cleanliness are very difficult to get along with.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Ying's call, "I just left Wuhan! Where are you? How did I find you..." A series of questions came over through the phone.

Yang Xiao paused, "I'm at... B&B No. 14, Tianyan Valley, which is the Hongping gas station. Go north and drive north. You will see it on the road. What? What do I need? Bring a KFC family bucket. What is it called?" Can't forget even after death? This is not dead yet, do you want Starbucks? Nonsense, bring two..."

The door behind him opened a crack, and Ji Xiaofu showed half of her face, and said with a smile, "I want a snow top, a big cup!"

"Let's go aside, what's left here with the snow covered? Uh, I'm here, two cappuccinos from Starbucks, isn't it too much? Just too much!"

The person on the phone laughed loudly, "You are the real Yang Tiantong, you want it! For the sake of your cultivation in the mountains, I will bring it for you! Even if you want to eat canned herring today, I will bring you a box."

Yang Xiao sat in the small yard in front of the homestay. There were a few swings and benches in the yard, presumably for guests to pose for pictures.

The sky is already full of sunset, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. There is no air-conditioning in the room, only the courtyard is cooler. After reading all the papers with words from the homestay, Yang Xiao took a copy that should have been brought by the former resident. Regardless of the crumpled state of the wrapped newspaper, I still read it over and over again.

While reading it, he complained: "No, no, I'm not used to seeing this kind of horizontal characters now."

Ji Xiaofu led Yang Buhui to collect the clothes to dry in the morning, "It's okay, go back and order a paper for your old man. Continue to read."

"As a liberal arts student in the new era, how does it feel to have read all the ancient prose in this life?! That's how I feel." Yang Xiao threw away the newspaper and relaxed on the bench, looking at the clouds.

"My eyes are blurry since I was 40 years old." Yang Xiao said with emotion.

"Isn't it kidney deficiency caused by eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling?" Ji Xiaofu curled her lips.

"I... yes, I just eat, drink, whore and gamble, and eat your rice? You come to fine me!"

"Hey, by the way, what kind of friend is Zhang Ying?"

"I was born in the orphanage's bed!"

While the two were talking, a car drove up to the door, drove past and then slowly came back.

Zhang Ying was a fat man with no special features, with an inch hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He got out of the car and looked at Yang Xiao carefully for a long time, from head to toe until he saw the snake-shaped bracelet on Yang Xiao's wrist.

"Damn it, you've changed a lot in the past ten years! Have you had plastic surgery? Or cultivating immortality is really effective, let me introduce it." Zhang Ying yelled, while driving the trunk of the car to move things out.Throwing something in the yard, rushing over to give Yang Xiao a hug, Yang Buhui could see clearly that the heavyweight Yang Xiao didn't catch it, his body shook before he stopped.

"Let's go! Let's go to Hongping to have a drink. I've been looking for someone to have a good talk with for a long time, so I'll wait for you. This wait is ten years." Zhang Ying dragged Yang Xiao's wrist and walked out while talking.

Yang Buhui has never seen this kind of buffet like a running water mat since he was born. The little monkey is as excited as entering a cornfield, holding a tray to put food in it. I couldn't stop carrying a big plate.

Zhang Ying threw a handful of local wild mushrooms into the hot pot, and looked at the mother and daughter Ji Xiaofu who were sitting and eating happily not far away.Turning his head and saying to Yang Xiao, who was immersed in drinking, "You can do it. I haven't seen you in ten years, and I'm married, and the children are so old. God doesn't know it."

"I'm not married!" Yang Xiao shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ying lowered her voice, "Then? Oh, it doesn't matter! Anyway, marriage is not the mainstream now, and many people are like this. Nowadays, light comedies about love and marriage are isolated from theaters, and no one watches them."

After babbling by myself, seeing Yang Xiao still remained silent, he poured the wine in his hand like water in a trance, "What's the origin of that woman, you're not the kind of person who commits a murder case? Did you get caught? Didn't hide from her?" ? Marriage with a child...?"

"No, the child is mine, but Ji Yuanyuan and I don't know each other. We didn't know each other at first, but we only got to know each other later. We've only known each other for seven or eight years."

The conversation was so messed up that Zhang Ying couldn't understand it.But in his opinion, it was enough that the child was born to his buddy Yang Tiantong. Thinking of this, he didn't bother with the details. "You went to live in seclusion without saying hello. I was so anxious that I thought you were dead."

"My ten years... hey... let's not talk about it, it's very difficult, many times I feel that I can't go on anymore, I can't sleep all night..." Yang Xiao drank some wine and talked too much.

"Your profession is already stressful. Why do you want to practice? It is said that practice is like this. You are isolated from the world all of a sudden, and people are very troublesome..." Zhang Ying thought about it wisely.

"No, no, you know, I... have never thought about so many things, I am a hardcore barbarian."

"Yes!" Zhang Ying patted her leg, then glanced at Yang Buhui, who was so happy that he tasted the egg tart and smiled.

"Then can you imagine, when I wake up, my wife and children are alive. I have always resisted that feeling, and I don't want to accept this fact." Yang Xiao looked out the window at night while talking.

"..." Zhang Ying didn't know how to comfort her friend, so she could only take a sip of wine. "One has to look forward, life is endless, isn't it. What will you do when you come back?"

"Is my house still there? Didn't the earthquake and typhoon collapse?"

"Crap, your house is still fine. Didn't you ask me to take care of it for you? It's been rented out all the time, but it hasn't expired yet. It will be four months later."

Yang Xiao looked back, "Then you can rent a house for me. I need some money to renovate. There are a lot of things to do. First, I have to fill up the documents and find a job to earn some renovation fees. What did you say? Yes, life has to go on."

"You don't need to rent a house. If you don't mind, you can live in my empty house. Taojiaying is a townhouse! I bought it for appreciation, but now it is empty and no one rents it. It just has no air conditioner and wall hangings. The ground and Everything in the kitchen on the wall was done simply.” After Zhang Ying finished speaking, she thought for a while, “It’s just that it’s inconvenient to go out, but I have a fully manual Buick in the garage, if you don’t mind, I’ll get some gasoline and engine oil later. .Now all gasoline vehicles are almost eliminated, and the car is not easy to refuel, and ethanol gasoline consumes the engine."

Yang Xiao shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, I generally don't like to drive. It doesn't matter if I use it occasionally."

Now that Zhang Ying was really relieved, she raised her neck and drank the wine in the glass, "Let me tell you, in the past ten years..." When it comes to the closing of the self-service shop, Zhang Ying is in a nearby B&B with a parking space. After staying, Yang Xiao said goodbye to him, and the three of them walked back to their homestay through the night.

Yang Buhui was already so sleepy that he was dragged to the bathroom, took a shower and fell asleep.After being blown by the night wind, Yang Xiao woke up instead. According to the usual practice, the two of them took turns to take a shower. With the unchanging clothes and the hot and humid night, Ji Xiaofu wrapped herself in a sheet as pajamas, and sat in front of the bay window in a daze.

Looking back, I saw Yang Xiao walking over with wet hair and bloodshot eyes after taking a shower, sitting on the swing staring at the ceiling in a daze.

In the end it was Yang Xiao who broke the silence, "Didn't you ask me why I didn't feel sorry for Zhang Wuji? His parents died when he was seven years old. It's very pitiful."

"Zhang Ying is a friend of your orphanage? When did you live in the orphanage?" Ji Xiaofu asked.

"When I was more than one year old, my parents took me back to my hometown in Zhejiang from Nanjing to celebrate the New Year. There was a car accident on the highway on the way, and the car hit the guardrail... Both of them died on the spot, but I was more fortunate to be tied to the car. In the baby cradle, when the rescue team arrived at the scene, I was fine, not a single hair was lost.” Yang Xiao said it was very difficult, “My grandma passed away not long ago, and she took me with me. , grandma has left too..."

"Just entered the orphanage?" Ji Xiaofu asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that's why I met Zhang Ying. He was sent to an orphanage because he was rescued from child abduction, but he couldn't find his relatives. Later, when I was in my third year of high school, he found his family through DNA comparison. At that time, his family thought he was dead. , gave birth to another one, and after he went back, he also worked very hard, and the family accepted him. Invest in him, and then slowly get rich." Yang Xiao talked a lot after drinking, and Yang Xiao relaxed a lot after he finished speaking.

Ji Xiaofu covered her face in a daze.

"Didn't you question me before, why did you treat Zhang Wuji like this? It's very simple! In this world...he's not the only one who died suddenly. Who would have pity on me?"

"Then why didn't you tell me these things in the past?" Ji Xiaofu asked in a low voice unwilling to give up.

"I consider you a friend. Besides, we don't know each other well!" Yang Xiao muttered, getting up and going to bed.

"Everyone has a past." Ji Xiaofu sighed, "That's why I quite like King Yinye, I think..."

"You don't like King Yinye, you think Zhang Zhenhuan is handsome! Thank you!" Yang Xiao poked his head out of the bathroom and made a contemptuous expression.

"When I reconciled with Yin Tianzheng, you were still traveling in Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. When I met the two sons of King Yin Ye, you were probably digging ginseng in Daxing'an Mountains. How many times have you met King Yin Ye?" Yang Xiao curled his lips. .

Ji Xiaofu lifted a pillow and threw it over.

"In the first two years, I really lived like a year." Taking the pillow, Yang Xiao walked over, threw the pillow back on the bed, and said, "When I was in my 30s, a lot of gray hair came out, eh? You can't see it. , on the layer of the scalp, you can’t see it from the outside.” Yang Xiao patted Ji Xiaofu’s hand away, “I was really depressed for a while, I couldn’t sleep all night, or I just had nightmares, and sometimes I really felt very hopeless, really? I can bear the work at once, but I can't give up, that feeling!!"

"Anyway, seeing you have a good time...I'm so envious." Yang Xiao glanced at Ji Xiaofu after speaking.

Ji Xiaofu smiled when she heard this, and then said flatly: "I thought I was dead. Anyway, when I was alive, my family thought I was a girl and didn't like me. Now that I'm dead, why don't I give up my unfulfilled wish?" Do it all over again, anyway, no one said anything about me, no one said why I wear this clothes, why I eat that, why I keep a cat, why I want to... Anyway, I suddenly found that things that didn’t belong to me in the past came back.”

"I'd rather not pay the marriage tax." Ji Xiaofu hugged the pillow and thumped it hard, and finally said, "Me too... suddenly one day, tell me about your daughter... what, I don't want to know! You can't tell me it's fake, it has nothing to do with me." After Ji Xiaofu finished speaking, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

Yang Xiao smiled, and stretched out his hand to wipe Ji Xiaofu's tears, "In the future, communicate with Yang Buhui more, and help me take care of the children. My experience is that taking care of children makes you grow up quickly, no! Get old! Hahaha .”
