I am at odds with the school grass

On New Year's Eve, their mission is to go shopping in the town. Su Yike plans to have six families of widowed and lonely elders get together for the New Year's Eve, making it more lively.

It is more than ten miles from here to the town. In the past, people in the village would go to the market on foot. It took two hours to walk. Later, it was much more convenient for the villagers to have motorcycles.

When they came to Qinshui Village and chartered a van, Su Yike still had the driver's phone number. He made an appointment with the driver and asked him to wait at the intersection outside Qinshui Village.

The town is not too developed, and there is a market every three days. Today, 29 is the market day, and the streets are crowded with people, very lively.They buy a lot of things, meat, vegetables, fruits, and drinks.

After walking around, everyone had a few bags in their hands. Gu Xizhe saw Wen Chenyang's two hands carrying things, so he carried all the bags in his left hand, and lifted the ones in Wen Chenyang's hands with his right hand, "Chenyang , bring it to me."

Wen Chenyang didn't hand it over to him, Gu Xizhe had already brought the heaviest fruit and drink, "Okay, I can do it myself."

Zhang Sufen, who was following behind, saw this scene, and whispered to Xu Ting next to her, "Do you feel that Senior Brother Gu treats others coldly, but he is especially kind to Senior Brother Chenyang?"

Xu Ting didn't think there was any problem with this, "It's normal, Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Chen Yang are in the same class in high school, and they have a very good relationship."

Thinking of something, Xu Ting took a few steps forward and walked side by side with Gu Xizhe, "Senior Brother Gu, my hand hurts so much, can you lift it up for me?"

Gu Xizhe glanced at her, unable to refuse, he took a bag of things from her hand.

A happy smile appeared on Xu Ting's face, "Thank you, Senior Brother Gu!"

Wen Chenyang heard their conversation, and deliberately quickened his pace to distance himself from them.

The six of them finished their shopping and ate at a restaurant in the town before heading back slowly.

He still took the van he took when he came here, Wang Mingran sat in the passenger seat, Wen Chenyang, Gu Xizhe and Su Yike sat in the back row, and the two girls sat in the middle row.

In the car, Su Yike recorded what he bought today, and showed it to Gu Xizhe, "Xizhe, look at what kind of dishes these ingredients can make, and think about it first, tomorrow you will be a master chef."

Gu Xizhe took the list, most of which were common dishes, he took out his phone and searched for the recipes.

Xu Ting turned her head to talk to Gu Xizhe, "Senior Brother Gu, do you often cook at home?"

Gu Xizhe said: "Not often."

"Then how did you practice your cooking skills so well, I'm curious."

"Look at the recipe."

Xu Ting smiled, "I can't see that you are interested in cooking."

"It's just life skills."

Zhang Sufen heard them talking about this topic, and couldn't help interjecting: "I think boys can really get a lot of points if they know how to cook. After getting married, two people can take turns cooking, and girls don't have to work so hard."

Xu Ting said: "So, to be Senior Brother Gu's girlfriend is really super super happy."

Wen Chenyang was sitting next to Gu Xizhe, and when he heard their conversation, he felt various emotions in his heart. He used to be the super, super happy person in their minds, but he was not a woman, so this happiness did not last.

Su Yike said: "Don't even think about it, Senior Brother Gu already has someone in his heart."

When Xu Ting thought that Gu Xizhe already had someone he liked, she felt very reconciled, although even if she didn't, it would not be her turn, she really wanted to know what kind of person Gu Xizhe liked, "Senior Brother Gu, tell me Do you like the information about that person, from our school?"

Gu Xizhe flipped through the menu on the phone, and replied casually, "Yes."

"Wow... who is that?" Xu Ting became even more curious, "Is it the school belle?"

"No."

"Who is that?"

Zhang Sufen said: "It must be some famous person."

Wen Chenyang felt that Gu Xizhe must have done it on purpose. He was usually an iceberg and didn't bother to answer, but today he answered every question of the two junior sisters.

Seeing that Gu Xizhe stopped answering, Xu Ting turned to Wen Chenyang, "Senior Brother Chenyang, you should know the person that Senior Brother Xizhe likes, so tell us quickly."

Wen Chenyang rubbed his nose, and said nonsense seriously: "I only know that the person he likes seems to be an employee in the canteen. In order to be worthy of him, he went to study recipes and learn how to cook."

Both Xu Ting and Zhang Sufen were stunned. The university student fell in love with the canteen auntie? "Huh? No way?"

Wen Chenyang said: "I only know so much."

Su Yike held back his laughter beside him, and it was very hard to hold back.

Xu Ting asked in disbelief: "Really?"

Gu Xizhe was not angry, but just looked at Wen Chenyang, and he didn't know who he was talking to, "One thing is right, I did learn to cook for him."

Zhang Sufen held her face, "Oh my god, I'm so spoiled."

Su Yike leaned into Wen Chenyang's ear, "Next time I go to the dining hall, you can call me more."

Wen Chenyang: "..."

-

At night, the world is so quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle, it is quiet during the day, and even quieter at night.

After coming to Qinshui Village, the college students who didn’t go to bed in the early morning at school developed a good habit of going to bed after nine o’clock, probably because they were so tired every day that they didn’t have the energy to stay up late at night.

Wen Chenyang was an exception. He couldn't fall asleep before eleven o'clock, and he was the last one to sleep every time.

After a meeting to discuss tomorrow's tasks, everyone went into the tents. Wen Chenyang was still sitting outside. He wanted to smoke and found that there were no cigarettes. He bought this pack of cigarettes before he came. How much to smoke, I didn’t buy it when I went out today.

He simply raised his head and looked at the starry sky. The weather these days is very clear, and the starry sky is very clear at night. It is rare to be able to see the stars so clearly in the city.

Gu Xizhe came over with a small medical bag, sat down beside Wen Chenyang, "Hold out your hand."

Wen Chenyang stretched out his hand, and Gu Xizhe untied the gauze wrapped around it for him, and illuminated the wound with a flashlight, only to be relieved when he saw that the wound hadn't deteriorated.

Wen Chenyang saw that he treated the small wound on his hand seriously, and couldn't help but said: "It's obviously a small flesh wound, and you made it look like it was serious enough to amputate."

Gu Xizhe disinfected and applied medicine to him, "Also pay attention to minor injuries."

Wen Chenyang let him go, and he could play with it however he wanted.

After Gu Xizhe applied the medicine, he didn't bandage him again. Exposure to the air can speed up the scab formation.

After finishing it for him, Gu Xizhe said, "Chen Yang."

Wen Chenyang looked at him, "What?"

Gu Xizhe said seriously: "If you don't have money to spend, just tell me, don't feel wronged and go to work in the canteen."

Wen Chenyang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and suppressed a smile. After a while, he bit his lip and looked up: "If I go to work in the canteen, you won't be able to eat enough in the future."

"Then for the sake of my being full, I won't let you go no matter what."

Wen Chenyang couldn't hold back, and laughed. In fact, he admitted that he was really happy and happy with Gu Xizhe, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

The two sat outside, looking at the distant mountains that were blurred under the starlight, "Gu Xizhe, did you really come out to your parents?"

"Well, really."

"Then how did they react?"

"Very surprised."

"anything else?"

"They need time to accept."

Wen Chenyang imagined the scene for a while, but he couldn't imagine it at all. Gu Zhennan and Gu Xizhe had the same temper, very dull, and Ye Zhiying, although strong, was not the kind of woman who made trouble for no reason, so the scene of Gu Xizhe coming out of the closet, he really unexpected.

But he can be sure that the parents will be sad and disagree.

Wen Chenyang said: "Your parents are so good, why are you willing to make them sad?"

"There are many ways to not make them sad, but there are some facts that they have to accept."

"But you also need to know that they are also for your own good."

"They are for my own good, but they don't know what is really good for me. Only I know best. I can't just give up my right to choose because they are good for me."

Wen Chenyang discovered that Gu Xizhe, who had always been taciturn, had become eloquent. He even found that he couldn't speak up to him.

"Gu Xizhe, according to scientific research, the shelf life of love is only eighteen months. After eighteen months, love will fade away. You don't need to joke about family affection and your own life for the so-called love."

"I like that person for more than eighteen months. Tell me, what's going on?"

Wen Chenyang really had nothing to say now, he just looked at him blankly, and Gu Xizhe also looked at him, his eyes met, Wen Chenyang felt his heart beating like a drum.

I don't know which scientist researched it, saying that the shelf life of love is only eighteen months, but he and Gu Xizhe have known each other for 28 months, and every time he looks at him, his heart still bumps wildly.

Gu Xizhe raised his hand to caress the side of his face, then leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Wen Chenyang blushed and turned into a kitten with fried hair, "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help it." The apology was super perfunctory and insincere, as if there would be a next time.

-

The next day was Chinese New Year’s Eve, and the volunteers started to prepare the ingredients early in the morning. The chicken and duck were all freshly killed, and it was very difficult to cut the blood and pluck the hair.

After negotiation, they will celebrate the New Year in one of the family's houses. Their house is relatively spacious, with a yard and a place for cooking and cooking under the shed in the yard, which is convenient for so many of them to cook and eat together.

Everyone's division of labor is also very clear, two are responsible for handling raw poultry, two are responsible for making dumplings, and two are responsible for washing and cutting vegetables, and everyone proceeds in an orderly manner.

Including their six volunteers, a total of [-] people ate and divided into two tables. The old people were very happy, and it hadn't been such a lively place for a long time.

After eating New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, there was no TV at home, and he couldn't watch the Spring Festival Gala, so Su Yike organized everyone to perform together, singing, dancing, and laughter filled the old courtyard.

Wang Mingran was dancing hip-hop in the open space, and everyone sat around the table to help him beat the beat. Although the old man didn't know how to appreciate hip-hop dancing, he thought it was quite interesting and enjoyed watching it.

Gu Xizhe's cell phone in his trouser pocket was vibrating, he took it out to have a look, the caller ID on the screen was 'Mom', he got up and left to answer the call.

When he reached the base of the wall in the yard, he pressed the answer button, and he called out, "Mom."

Ye Zhiying felt relieved when she heard his voice. She asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

"What did you eat?"

"a lot of."

Ye Zhiying heard some noise from Gu Xizhe on the other end of the phone, feeling like he was at a party, "Where are you now?"

"A mountain village in Wangcheng."

"Why did you run there? I thought..." She thought he just went to Mucheng to find Wen Chenyang. These days, their mother and son had a cold war, and no one called anyone. But today is New Year's Eve, and she is still soft after all. Confused, "Is Chen Yang here?"

"Well, yes."

Ye Zhiying asked again: "When will you be back?"

"Not going back for now."

Ye Zhiying choked up, "Xizhe, you have always been an obedient child. You have never worried your father and me for so many years, but this time, are you going to push us so hard?"

Gu Xizhe was silent for a moment, "Mom, I didn't mean to force you, but I hope you can also consider from my standpoint."

"Your father and I are both sensible people. As parents, we hope that our children will follow the right path. There is nothing wrong with that. Xizhe, listen to your mother once, and don't let the right path go astray."

Gu Xizhe felt that it was unwise to discuss this topic with Ye Zhiying today, and he couldn't say anything clearly on the phone, and he might quarrel later, "Mom, let's not talk about this topic for now. Today's New Year's Eve, I wish you Happy New Year to you and Dad."

Ye Zhiying could hear that he wanted to change the subject, so she said it was enough, "You too, pay more attention to safety outside, you will always be my son and your dad's son, you must call us if you have any questions."

"understood."

Gu Xizhe hung up the phone, and as soon as he turned around, he met Wen Chenyang's gaze. He was always behind, and he didn't know how much he had listened to.

Wen Chenyang pursed his lips, "Auntie?"

"Ah."

Wen Chenyang said: "You really shouldn't make them angry."

"She's not angry." Gu Xizhe stepped forward and came to him, "Chenyang, I'm confident that I can handle this matter well."

Wen Chenyang was silent for a moment, "Gu Xizhe, does it mean that if I die, you will be able to return to normal?"

Gu Xizhe was slightly taken aback, he glanced at the people who were still performing and watching the performance over there, took Wen Chenyang's hand, and pulled him to the corner of the wall, where the view was blocked by the house, no one could see .

Wen Chenyang was hidden on the wall, and Gu Xizhe's arms supported his sides, trapping him firmly between him and the wall.

"Are you making me mad to be reconciled!" Gu Xizhe's rapid breathing hit his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but it could be heard from his tone that he was very angry.

Wen Chenyang rarely sees him so angry, Gu Xizhe has always been used to being calm and calm.

"Wen Chenyang, live a good life for me. If you dare to do something stupid, I..." He couldn't continue. If Wen Chenyang chose the same path of no return like Zhang Haiyin, he would probably collapse.

Wen Chenyang lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Xizhe stared at Wen Chenyang in the dark, his calm heart gradually calmed down after being stirred up by thousands of waves, his face was buried in his neck, "Chenyang, I beg you, no matter what happens in the future, live well .”

Wen Chenyang's words just now were just angry words, but Gu Xizhe broke out because of this, probably because he really scared him.

Perhaps, in the bottom of his heart, he has been worrying about this issue all the time, worrying that Wen Chenyang will eventually give up himself in the torment of depression.

Gu Xizhe like this made people feel distressed, Wen Chenyang's heart softened, he patted his head, "What you just said was angry, can't you hear it? Are you stupid?"

Gu Xizhe hugged him tightly, "You can't even say angry words."
