hot summer gl
In Chapter 1 class, you looked at the Rubik's cube in my hand several times.
, you avoid her because you love her.
☆, dialect
I pushed Ji Zi away, and my heart was faintly angry, but I couldn't say anything.Because what she said is the truth, but what kind of love is this kind of love?
Seeing that I ignored her, Ji Zi asked again unwillingly.
When I got annoyed, I replied to her with two redundancies in dialect, which meant "quiet".Of course Ji Zi didn't understand, he froze for a moment, and looked at me with confused eyes: What did you say?
nothing.I said with a guilty conscience, in fact, this sentence has another meaning: "shut up", the latter is not as kind as the former.
Ji Zi pouted in dissatisfaction, you just bully me and won't listen to you.As she said that, she seemed to have really lost her temper, and she couldn't help but snatch the nonsense from my hand.
Let me see what you've done.
Indeed, in the grids on the top that should be cut into slopes, sawdust is flying, and fine wood flowers are everywhere, which is really unsightly.
It's not that you asked me to do it.I thought to myself.Retreating to the second line, quietly watching Ji Zi arguing there.Whenever she picks up a carving knife or other tools, the lazy breath on her body will be replaced by seriousness. If she doesn't say it, no one will think she is a carpenter.
Ji Zi's technique is very clean and neat, with little deviation in the angle and strength of the knife, and his grasp of the carving knife is also exquisite.After all the slopes were chiseled, Ji Zi blew off the sawdust on them, and took a smaller size of shavings, and trimmed them to ensure that they were relatively flat.
Are you going to engrave something on it?she asked suddenly.
I was still looking at the wood shavings, and when I heard her ask, I immediately thought of the blind stool made by Ji Zi's father, with tall and straight bamboo carved on both sides of the top surface.
Forget it, I'll finish it first and then engrave it, you take your time to think about it.Ji Zi said again, blocking what I wanted to say in her throat, because I could discern impatience from her tone.Is she angry?I looked at Ji Zi's profile for a while, obviously I couldn't associate the person who was smiling just now with her in front of me.
okay.I replied.
Ji Zi ignored it, just went to look for things in her toolbox, and after searching for a while, she didn't see anything.Ji Zi turned his hands outwards and said seriously: I want to tell you something.
Her posture made me nervous: what?
I forgot my wire saw.
What is this for?
Saw this.Ji Zi pointed to the only two curves on Bianbai that were not straight lines and said.Although I didn't quite understand why the wire saw was necessary, but after looking at the time, I agreed to go out with Ji Zi.Who told her to claim that she is still unfamiliar with the streets here, what if she gets lost?
We still went to the hardware store last time, Ji Zi suddenly felt that the street became crowded, full of people and hawkers who set up stalls at will.This is much more lively than the market we went to buy wood that day.
Before I had gone far, a pair of vendors selling cotton candy and candied haws caught my eye.I haven't seen them again for many years, and thought that the memories of these children's taste buds were about to disappear, but I didn't expect to meet them now by accident.It was just that when I saw that the hawker was surrounded by children who only reached his chest, I didn't have the courage to go up.
I don't know when Ji Zi noticed my strangeness, or maybe she was also attracted.In short, she pulled me and walked over.
When the children around saw her, they voluntarily gave way to her, and looked at her with strange eyes, which made Ji Zi dumbfounded.As I have said long ago, she is surrounded by students not only because of her hair color.
I want two marshmallows and two candied haws.Ji Zi stretched out two fingers and smiled at Mimi.
The peddler said: Got it, wait a minute.
Jin, what did he say?Ji Zi asked me.
He said he got it.
Ji Zi looked like you don't fool me: obviously he only said two words.
I have to explain it in another way. I don’t know if the Cantonese vernacular also means “hen”?What's so strange.
Ji Zi gave me a smirk in return.
Another partner with the hawker just now asked what kind of candied haws we want, and quickly took it out and handed it to us.Six stuffy silver.He said.
Ji Zi was dumbfounded again, dumbfounded.So I had to do it myself again, took out six dollars from my pocket, and paid the bill.
After we left with the large but light marshmallow alone, Ji Zi asked me if I meant six dollars in the sentence just now?I said yes, she read it a few times according to her memory, and finally gave up.
It seems that I can't learn your words here.she says.
It's okay, I comforted, if you encounter this kind of situation again in the future...
Will you be my interpreter?Ji Zi spoke first.
No, as long as the person is not too old.If you ask them again in Mandarin, they will also change it to Mandarin.I said casually while biting the marshmallow.No matter how much the marshmallow changes color, it is still sugar, and the taste is the same as before, not changed at all.
It's not romantic.Ji Zi said.Fortunately, we have already arrived at the door of the hardware store. The open space in front of the door is full of farm tools, mostly sickles.Because it is a market, many farmers come to buy farm tools.
Ji Zi threw away the stick in his hand and walked straight to the shopkeeper.After a while, she came out with a disappointed face.
The man said no, let's change to another one.
I took Jizi around a corner and went to another street she hadn't chosen before, where there was a stall selling farm tools and groceries.Because the street is narrower, there are still cars coming on the road, Ji Zi walked behind me, holding me loosely with one hand.
This feeling is not bad.
I found that she is smarter than Zhang Ning.Her indifferent behavior made it impossible for me to reject her clearly, the so-called retreat.
I think about that day again.Zhang Ning didn't seem to notice Ji Zi's existence.He hugged me quietly for a while, and finally let go.
Sorry just now, I didn't mean to lose my temper.I just... She choked up and couldn't speak.
I sighed, a little helpless: I understand, but I really don't want to see you continue like this.
I don't want to either, let's live for a while.She suddenly laughed at herself, and Zhang Ning, who was shining with tears, looked pitiful.After that, I will listen to you and study hard.
However, at this time, I don't understand that the apple will not stop being corrupt until it completely goes bad.
what happened?I asked her as softly as possible, for fear that if I was not careful, I would break her down again.Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning's eyes flickered.
Something happened, but I can handle it.
——Manufacturers go to the countryside to wholesale lighters, seven for five yuan, eight for five yuan, ten for five yuan...
A rough male voice brought me back to reality, and at first I thought I had heard it wrong.When I saw the booth next to it that was continuously sending out recordings, it turned out that I really heard it right.There was a row of lighters, all of different styles.
What are you in a daze for?All arrived and left.Ji Zi grabbed me and asked.
nothing.I say again, it seems like this has become my mantra.Ji Zi glanced at me and walked straight into one of the shops without saying anything.
I don't know if the wire saw is too weird. We searched several places, but couldn't find it.In the end it was a shopkeeper who found the only stock in the corner—a spiral serrated steel rod, still rusty.But also because of this, the owner generously does not charge us money.
Ji Zi took the wire saw wrapped in newspaper and was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he continued to drag me to a cattle miscellaneous shop.
Each of us ordered a generous plate of offal: kelp, meatballs, mushrooms, hot dogs, quail eggs, and a piece of daikon.Then he took the plate and walked to the tables and chairs under the big tree behind the shop.The sun was covered by the luxuriant canopy of the big trees, making it a lot cooler.Next to it is a small shop full of bamboo products, agricultural supplies that are about to be eliminated by the times, such as bamboo baskets, bamboo hats, chicken cages, and pig cages.
My dad does that too, and he can choreograph lion dances too.Ji Zi said suddenly, she forked a piece of mushroom, put it down in her mouth and continued: He often went to cut bamboo, and when he came back with a big moso bamboo, he peeled it into thin bamboo strips in two or three strokes.Then, sitting in the hall and weaving patiently.My father not only makes ordinary tools, but also likes to make some beautiful handicrafts.Speaking of which, she let out a long sigh of regret. Unfortunately, when I was young, I thought they were not good-looking, so I didn't learn them.
I nodded, not agreeing.It's just that when Ji Zi described it, the back of a slightly hunchbacked man emerged.He was wearing a gray-blue tunic, carrying a thick bamboo on his shoulders, and was walking on the path in the village.
It took me a while to realize that such a back looks very much like my father.
I haven't thought of my father or mother for a long time. Is this a kind of unfilial piety?
Just as he was thinking, Ji Zi suddenly forked a sliced hot dog and handed it over, the meaning was self-evident.I opened my mouth and bit down, and the discomfort I felt earlier has already passed with time.
delicious, right?She said with a smile.
Hmm... Before the words finished, the familiar ringtone of the mobile phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and immediately guessed the purpose of the caller.
I take a call.I said to Ji Zi, she suddenly lost the interest just now and just oh.
Hi Jin.Lan said in his usual gentle voice, have you had lunch yet?
eating.I took a moment to look at the beef offal on the table, this should be considered a beef meal.Have you finished reading the book?
According to the calculation of time, Lan not only received it, but also should have read the book more than twice.Sure enough, she said: After reading it, I have already sent the book back, and I have written suggestions.But I didn't call to tell you that.She paused before saying: Jin, you wrote this book?
I laughed: How could you think so, you are my student.
Lan let out a chuckle over there, really want to meet that student of yours.Let me tell you this, before I thought you wrote it without saying a word, so I read it again patiently. As a result, I found a very interesting detail.
what is itI asked myself and read it carefully two or three times. Except for Zhang Ning's instilling his own worldview without revealing any traces in the book, I really didn't find any interesting details.
Lan didn't answer me right away, but said like a trick: Is it convenient for you to talk?you are on the street right?Let's talk again when you get home.
☆, what are you doing
As soon as I got home, I dropped Ji Zi and immediately called Lan back.
I'm home now.I said, and at the same time glanced at Jizi who was sitting on the floor again, the wire saw wrapped in newspaper hadn't been used yet.
Um.Lan Man responded, and asked again: Have you read that book?
seen it already.
Did you notice how the heroine and her father suddenly returned to the village?
I thought about it carefully, and Zhang Ning really didn't seem to mention it.However, how can I go back?Walk or take a car?Zhang Ning is not writing fantasy, no matter how fantasy the plot is, it cannot be separated from reality.
Didn't notice, what's the problem?I am honest.
It is because of this detail.Lan let out a slight sigh, more like a surprise.I think what she wants to express is not that simple, it is not simply "leaving and staying behind".
Then what do you say?
Not sure yet.For the first time, Lan said that she was not sure, because her ending left room for readers to imagine, and there are many answers.That's why I want to meet your student, do you have her contact information?
Yes, do you want a phone number?When I said this, I realized that I didn't know her other contact information except the number, and even the string of addresses she wrote on the information was very general, only the name of a community was written.
Forget it, or not.Lan chuckled and said, well, I'm going to get down to business next.
What she said caught me off guard. I should have known that it was not that simple for Lan to let me go home on purpose.
If you have anything to say, just say it.
Well, my dad sent you something.Hmm... Don't be surprised when you see a big box when you go to pick up the courier.
I was speechless, just this?
Yeah, what else?Lan still asked with a smile.By the way, Jin, how do you plan to spend the National Day?She said something in her words.
stay at home.I said, because my relatives are coming soon.
Um?your uncle?
No, it's my aunt.After speaking, there was a moment of silence between us, and then we laughed out loud in tacit understanding.
ok ok, i see.Lan smiled and sighed, um...take good care of yourself and drink plenty of hot water.In the end, she still didn't forget to tease me.
Yes, I replied with a smile, but then I had to face the impending "farewell".That... hang up.
See you.Lan said, but didn't hang up the phone immediately.I stood quietly holding the mobile phone, her side was so quiet that I could still hear her weak breathing.Maybe it's just an illusion.
goodbye.I said and hung up the phone.A sense of grief suddenly rose in my heart, it was not clear, but a vague torture.
If someone asks me what Lan is to me, I can only say: she is the one who is there for me when I feel alone and helpless.
Finished the phone call?Seeing me coming in, Ji Zi said lukewarmly without raising his head.
I answered casually and sat cross-legged as I did in the morning.From my point of view, her profile tends to be angry.To use a common saying: the old elder with that stinky face has grown up.
Just come and help me.she says.At this time, I just discovered that the rusty wire saw has been polished almost.
how to do?
One person takes one side, you just cooperate with me.Ji Zi took the toolbox while explaining, she put the blind on the toolbox, the front half was vacant, and her other hand was responsible for fixing the wooden block.
Although it was my first time to use a wire saw, but fortunately we cooperated well, and soon saw through the curves on both sides.I suddenly thought of a question, why must the curve be?Can't it be a straight line?
Ji Zi was taken aback for a moment, she didn't seem to expect that I would ask this question.
I don't know, she answered unexpectedly, I saw my dad do it and I do the same.
I laughed, this answer is too unreliable.Let me tell you a joke.
Ji Zi looked at me, which means you can tell me.
There is a family, one day the daughter saw the mother who was cooking in the kitchen chop off the head and tail of the fish before putting it into the frying pan.She was curious and asked her mother why she did this.Mom replied: "I don't know, that's what my mother did."
So the daughter took the opportunity to ask grandma.Unexpectedly, grandma also said that she didn't know. She said: I learned it when I saw my mother do it.
The daughter became even more curious and ran to ask her great-grandfather.The skinny woman who had lived for nearly a hundred years laughed loudly and said: The pot used to be too small to hold such a big fish, so I cut it off.
Hearing this, Ji Zi snorted unhappily.Are you saying that our old Ji's family doesn't know how to be flexible?
I didn't say that.I said, don't take your seat on the right number.
Ji Zi snorted again, and childishly turned around to face me.As if to say: I'm angry and don't want to talk to you.
What's going on here?I noticed something strange, but I still pretended to be casual, angry?
I feel like you've been ignoring me!After half a minute, Ji Zi turned around, she looked aggrieved with deep contoured eyes.
When have I been ignoring you?
You never fail to introduce me to your friends.
Then I have to have my friend here, otherwise how can I introduce it?
That... Ji Zi hesitated because of my lack of words.Who was it that called you just now?You are still smiling so happily.Ji Zi said sourly, is she jealous?But is she jealous of that door?
Uh, she is my friend, but she is in Guizhou.I thought of Ji Ziti's colleagues last time, and said: I should be in the same city as you.
Male or female?
I had a momentary impatience, but I was honest.Ji Zi didn't feel relieved at all, instead he frowned and murmured: If it's a man, I'm more at ease.
What do you mean.I was really impatient this time, and I made up my mind that if she talks like this questioning again, I will invite this guy out of my house!
But Ji Zi seemed to see through my mind, and said in a sad tone: Didn't you notice that your eyes and tone changed when you talked to her?I thought I had only one rival in love.Did you know that people of the same kind have an inexplicably similar aura, the first time I saw you, I thought you liked the same sex.
I turned my face away and didn't answer, but I didn't feel angry with Ji Zi in my heart.
She's just my friend, better.Also, didn't you say that you don't like me that way?There are so many rivals.
Yeah?Did I say that?Ji Zi pretended to be stupid and said, forget it.forget it...
So far, this inexplicable conversation has come to an end.Ji Zi continued to make blind stools, but I didn't have the interest to continue participating.The phone call with Lan intensified my curiosity about the book, so I can't wait for the courier to fly to me immediately.
But after a while, I hesitated again.I asked myself: what are you doing?While rejecting Zhang Ning, he kept trying to get to know her.Especially for Ji Zi, while rejecting her but allowing her to approach.What do you want to do?
Maybe God can't stand me being so indecisive, and decides to give me a push.This evening, near the wee hours of the morning.I was woken up by the pain in my abdomen. At the same time, my chest was tight and I felt like vomiting more and more.I lifted the thin quilt on my body, and the constantly turning fan stimulated my skin. I trembled uncontrollably, but I still struggled to get up.This light movement woke up Ji Zi who was wrapped in another thin quilt beside him.
I didn't care about her, I stomped on the ground in the dark trying to find the slippers, and in the end I didn't care if I was wearing them right or not, and stumbled all the way to the bathroom.As soon as I left, the lights in the bedroom turned on.
Jin, are you okay?After a few minutes, Ji Zi's uncertain and worried voice came from outside the door.I think she must have been waiting in the bedroom to find me.
fine.I turned on the faucet and washed my face, only to find that my fingers were unbearably cold. Fortunately, the dullness in my chest was relieved, but the pain in my abdomen was still there.
You go back to sleep first, I will come out later.I yelled, thankful I prepared everything ahead of time.
All right.Ji Zi compromised, if there is anything, just call me.
After fiddling for a few more minutes, I dragged my weak body back to the room.I'm wearing summer pajamas, and I'm wearing the right slippers, and I'm not too embarrassed.Just a little cold.Even if Guangxi is still hot during the day in October, the low temperature in the early morning is enough for me.
The posture of Ji Zi sitting on the bed with a thin quilt is a good proof of this point. The fan has been turned off by her, and the whole space is quiet.
What’s wrong with you?Get up suddenly scared to death.She noticed my hand covering my abdomen, and guessed: Did I eat my stomach badly?
No, I said, it's just that my aunt is here.I sit back on the bed, and this is the shortcoming of the bamboo mat bed, it is too cold for me now.
Ji Zi said ah, and then, as if thinking of something, he reached out to touch my left hand.Her hand is different from the coolness of the day, but with warmth, so I let her hold it.
Why is it so cold?
It's like this every time I come, I'm used to it.
no!She snarled in a rare voice: How can you get used to this kind of thing!I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow to have a look.She rubbed my fingers and said: If something happens to the root of the disease in the future, who will you cry to?
I……
Hush!you don't talk.And so it was decided.Ji Zi said forcefully, it's very late to sleep.
I pursed my lips, and when she said this, my body felt drowsy.Forget it, we'll talk about seeing a doctor at dawn.
I lay back to the original position, and even though I was covered with a thin blanket, my body was still shivering from the cold.At this moment, Ji Zi walked over from behind me, she was emitting heat like a big furnace.
still hurt?She whispered in my ear, there was a feeling of hypnosis, my eyelids began to become heavy, and I only murmured.
Ji Zi's hand came around from behind and landed on my abdomen. The warmth in her palm could be felt through the clothes.I'll rub it for you while you sleep.she says.
I think I'm really sleepy and cold, and I don't want to give up this rare warmth, so I don't care how ambiguous my posture is at the moment.It's just the two of us here anyway, isn't it?
I thought wildly, and fell asleep after finding another source of heat for my equally cold feet——Jizi's feet.
☆, date
Because of my menstrual period, I woke up very early the next day, and only then did I really realize how ambiguous our posture was.Ji Zi hasn't woken up yet, she is almost in the same posture as last night.I was held in her arms, one of her hands was tucked in front of her chest, and the other was hanging on my waist. Not only that, but our feet were tightly pressed together, as if to keep warm.
I feel my ears burning up.Fortunately, his back was facing her, so he couldn't see her expression—even if she was asleep.Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of mood I should use to treat her.This is the one who warms me up.
I carefully removed her hand, sat up with my hands propped up and was about to leave when she woke up.
Ji Zi suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around my waist, and said something vaguely. I didn't hear clearly, so I had to turn my head to look at her. Ji Zi who hadn't opened his eyes looked like a cute pet, with golden broken hair on his forehead. Some messy some curly.
Where to go?She said heavily.
go to the toilet.I answered, and prepared to break her hand.In my opinion, her actions are as meaningless as the last time she suddenly woke up after being drunk and talked to me, and she was still confused for short.Maybe when I come back, I can see her sleeping face again.
oh.Ji Zi said, then he loosened his hands naturally.Go early and come back early, she said again, don't make me wait too long, I have to go out.
I couldn't help laughing, what is it all about.But she immediately realized that she should be talking about going to the doctor.Thinking of her still obsessed with it, I involuntarily reached out and brushed her messy bangs.The sleeping Ji Zi has a kind of innocent childishness, which doesn't care about appearance.And even if Zhang Ning fell asleep, he still looked preoccupied.
My hand paused and slowly retracted.When I got off the ground, I stepped on my slippers and left in a hurry.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Ji Zi walked out of the room sleepily.At this time, I was lying on the sofa watching TV, but I was playing with my mobile phone in my hand, because there were really no good programs, and the space for one person was too stagnant.
early.After she said hello to herself, she walked to the bathroom, and after a while, there was the sound of water.I was wondering how much she remembered about what happened just now.
A few minutes later, Ji Zi reappeared in my sight with water droplets on his face.She sat on the sofa with her arms around her knees facing me.A pair of restored eyes looked at me thoughtfully.
Jin, does your stomach still hurt?
fine.I stared at the phone screen and said casually. In fact, I still had a cramping pain in my abdomen, but I was used to hiding my expression.Even if the pain is unbearable, Ji Zi must not see anything.Sure enough, she stopped asking.
After breakfast we will go to the doctor.Hmm...what would you like to eat?
I looked up from the screen and met her eyes.Why don't you ask me if I would like to go to the hospital?
Ji Zi glared at me, didn't we agree last night?After finishing speaking, he probably felt that his attitude was too tough, so he softened his tone and said: Be good, don't make trouble.
I snorted disdainfully, that was your unilateral decision.
Ji Zi was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect you to make such an expression, Jin!She stretched out her hand and rubbed my face recklessly, and said with a smile: "It's pretty cute."
This time it was my turn to give her a glare, which was more unusual than usual.I said.If it was Han Zai, she would not be surprised, because I almost always have this expression every time I bully her.
Have I treated Ji Zi like a good friend for many years?Knowing this cognition, I fell into deep thought.
Jin, I think you look really good when you smile, why do you always have a straight face?I don't owe you any money.Ji Zi was inexplicably moved.
Everyone looks good when they smile.I put away my chaotic thoughts and said coldly, besides, I didn't keep a straight face all the time.
Ji Zi didn't answer, but slowly moved his index finger to the corner of my mouth, propping it up slightly like drawing a picture.
How beautiful it is.She said that her eyes looked like bottomless wells at this moment. We looked at each other for a while, and she suddenly said: I want to kiss you.It is simply amazing.
I turned my head abruptly, avoiding her fingers.
No matter how much you praise me, I will not go to the hospital.I pretended to say calmly, even though my heart was already turbulent.I guess it had nothing to do with emotion, it was just too sudden and direct.Or, Ji Zi's words broke something I didn't want to face all the time.
Why do they like me, like me, a person who has a dark heart and is riddled with holes?
Ji Zi laughed dryly.Just kidding...I'm so hungry.You still haven't told me what to eat?How about some porridge?Why don't you just go to the hospital to have a look, what are you doing?She said straightaway.
Can I say I'm scared?I said to myself, keeping silent about her question.
Ji Zi sighed, "Okay, okay, I won't go if I don't go."She adjusted her posture and sat facing the TV like me, where a certain food program happened to be playing - introducing the ingenious effect of a certain porridge, with side dishes scrolling at the bottom of the screen.When Ji Zi saw it, his eyes lit up.Just make the same porridge as on TV, okay?she asked.
I nod.Ji Zi stood up immediately, and I went to buy vegetables.After thinking about it, I said: If you are hungry, you can eat some biscuits first.
The biscuits were made by Ji Zi yesterday, using only crude tools, but the taste is not bad.She said that she usually likes to make some small pastries, because she thinks it is similar to carving.I really can't understand it, but it's none of my business.
While eating biscuits and waiting for Ji Zi to come back, Han called.Lan and her have made up their minds, so call me if you are right.
Hey.
Hey, Jin, will you come when I get married on the 31st of next month?Han got straight to the point, with a little complacency and joy in his tone.
Just as I was about to say something, I felt something was wrong, and after thinking for half a second, I suddenly realized.
I'm also getting married on February 2th, will you come?I said it on purpose.
Hate!Han Chen said, but I can still hear her unconcealable laughter.I was caught by you again.
Well, let's be honest, when are you getting married?
November 11, I heard it is a good day.Han said, but I really don't know what's so good about it.
Uncle and aunt decided, right?Where will it be held?
Speaking of this, I am angry!You don't know, I've been so busy these days, and I'm choosing a hotel to try on a wedding dress again.Jin, you are right, you should just spend nine yuan for a nude marriage.I feel like I'm getting premarital syndrome.
Don't.I interrupted her complaint, who said that walking on the red carpet in a wedding dress is beautiful and sacred?Besides, you can't run away halfway.
After hearing this, Han said with infinite sorrow: "There must be an auditorium to have a taste."They booked in a hotel, and even booked two places, Beihai and Nanning.
ah?While this is understandable, I was still taken aback.How can this be tossed?
It’s fine if you come to Nanning, and you can save some fares.Han said, I sent you the wedding invitation by express.I am in Beihai now.
I sat up straight involuntarily, and put back the biscuits I was going to eat.Question: Why did you run there without saying a word?
Getting ready for the wedding.Do you think you can get married casually? Don't you know that there are a lot of things to prepare, from as big as the guest list to as small as the amount of wedding candies...
stop.I said, I see.
Hey, just listen to my complaints and you will die!Han said, heartless guy, if you don't pay more for your share, you will die.
The bag must be the thickest one.I said with a smile.
Han also saw through me immediately, and said with disgust: such a perfunctory tone.
I made a mischievous expression on the phone, but Han naturally couldn't see it.
Forget it, I haven't known you for a day or two.I don't know who you are.She said in a positive tone, by the way, you remember to bring your girl.
What?I couldn't turn the corner for a while.
It's the student who likes you, Zhang Ning, right?The sound of Han Huaixiao came, and I clearly wrote on the wedding invitation that Ms. Lin Jin's family will be entertained.
I'm the only one in my family.Don't mess around!I warned, at this moment, the sound of going upstairs came from downstairs, and Ji Zi would really find time to come back.Fortunately, Han didn't notice the background sound.
I didn't mess around.I'm not talking about you, you've lived for so many years, and it's not easy to meet someone you like and likes you, why hesitate?Han said, is she planning to persuade me?
Ji Zi appeared at the stairs carrying a bunch of things, glanced at me who was talking on the phone, and walked towards the kitchen without saying a word.
You shouldn't be with Zhang Ning because of the matter between me and Liu Zhan, right?Han's conversation suddenly changed. In fact, you don't have to worry so much. I believe she really loves you.
what do you know.I couldn't help it.
Han didn't answer me directly, but said in a tone of hating iron but not steel: You just run away, and don't come to me to cry if you regret it later.Hang up, my mother is calling me.
As soon as she finished speaking, the head on the phone fell silent all of a sudden, quiet and terrifying.I threw the phone aside, rubbed my hair irritably, and after a while it hung down weakly again, hugging my arms tightly and shrinking myself up.
Jin?What’s wrong with you?Ji Zi's anxious voice reached my ears, and I looked up at her, only to see that she breathed a sigh of relief.I was scared to death, I thought you fainted.
Ok.
I bought painkillers, would you like to take one?
No thanks.I said.Ji Zi's face suddenly changed, but soon returned to normal.
Well, if you really can't stand it, don't hold on.She said, that look was like she was going to put her hand on my forehead to prove that I didn't have a fever.By the way, I went to the vegetable market just now and saw some very strange things.I'll show it to you.
Ji Zifeng ran into the kitchen again in a hurry, and came out with a bag of things.
The grandpa who sold these said they were edible.Ji Zi exposed the contents inside.Do you know what this is?
The thing wrapped in the black plastic bag is indeed strange.It was brownish-yellow all over, and darker in places.Its fruits are like small crutches, mostly bent at right angles.There are still dried fruits at the end of the fruit, a lot.
I have eaten this thing, and I know its common name, but if I were to express it in Mandarin, I would not be able to.
So I said with a serious expression: I can only tell you that this thing is indeed edible.However, if it is not ripe, it will taste very astringent. You have to dry it first, then steam it, and it will taste sweet.As for the taste, others say it is a bit like a banana, a bit like an apple, and a bit like a raisin.
Ji Zi was taken aback when he heard that.
☆, cooking
I broke off a piece and removed the seeds at the end.It's a bit sweet at the beginning, but it's almost too astringent after the mouthful.I swallowed it hard, my brows furrowed together.
Ji Zi blinked with an innocent expression.Didn't you say that it's not delicious if it's not cooked through?
Haven't eaten it for many years, want to try it.
She nodded half understanding, and reached out to break a piece.I stopped her, but don't eat it yet, I'll take it to dry.Now that the sun is so bright, it should be enough to eat in one afternoon.
Since I didn't have a suitable container for that at home, I had to use newspaper instead.As soon as I got to the top of the building, I felt a burning sensation like a flame. After standing for a minute or two, my back was covered with thin sweat.Looking at the scorching sun above my head, I once said that I would never come back if I had the chance.
Then what was Ai Ai's reason for running back earlier?Just looking back on your own youthful years?
I spread the things evenly, looked at the still blue sky, went downstairs, and the temperature in the room without sunlight returned to shade.
Ji Zi is no longer in the living room, she is in the kitchen.The porridge was already boiling, the white rice grains were tumbling, and Ji Zi was putting the ingredients into the pot one by one.She was back in her white shirt and apron, a housewife.Nearly one-third of the long blonde hair is tied into her favorite ball head, dyed almost transparent under the escaping sunlight
☆, dialect
I pushed Ji Zi away, and my heart was faintly angry, but I couldn't say anything.Because what she said is the truth, but what kind of love is this kind of love?
Seeing that I ignored her, Ji Zi asked again unwillingly.
When I got annoyed, I replied to her with two redundancies in dialect, which meant "quiet".Of course Ji Zi didn't understand, he froze for a moment, and looked at me with confused eyes: What did you say?
nothing.I said with a guilty conscience, in fact, this sentence has another meaning: "shut up", the latter is not as kind as the former.
Ji Zi pouted in dissatisfaction, you just bully me and won't listen to you.As she said that, she seemed to have really lost her temper, and she couldn't help but snatch the nonsense from my hand.
Let me see what you've done.
Indeed, in the grids on the top that should be cut into slopes, sawdust is flying, and fine wood flowers are everywhere, which is really unsightly.
It's not that you asked me to do it.I thought to myself.Retreating to the second line, quietly watching Ji Zi arguing there.Whenever she picks up a carving knife or other tools, the lazy breath on her body will be replaced by seriousness. If she doesn't say it, no one will think she is a carpenter.
Ji Zi's technique is very clean and neat, with little deviation in the angle and strength of the knife, and his grasp of the carving knife is also exquisite.After all the slopes were chiseled, Ji Zi blew off the sawdust on them, and took a smaller size of shavings, and trimmed them to ensure that they were relatively flat.
Are you going to engrave something on it?she asked suddenly.
I was still looking at the wood shavings, and when I heard her ask, I immediately thought of the blind stool made by Ji Zi's father, with tall and straight bamboo carved on both sides of the top surface.
Forget it, I'll finish it first and then engrave it, you take your time to think about it.Ji Zi said again, blocking what I wanted to say in her throat, because I could discern impatience from her tone.Is she angry?I looked at Ji Zi's profile for a while, obviously I couldn't associate the person who was smiling just now with her in front of me.
okay.I replied.
Ji Zi ignored it, just went to look for things in her toolbox, and after searching for a while, she didn't see anything.Ji Zi turned his hands outwards and said seriously: I want to tell you something.
Her posture made me nervous: what?
I forgot my wire saw.
What is this for?
Saw this.Ji Zi pointed to the only two curves on Bianbai that were not straight lines and said.Although I didn't quite understand why the wire saw was necessary, but after looking at the time, I agreed to go out with Ji Zi.Who told her to claim that she is still unfamiliar with the streets here, what if she gets lost?
We still went to the hardware store last time, Ji Zi suddenly felt that the street became crowded, full of people and hawkers who set up stalls at will.This is much more lively than the market we went to buy wood that day.
Before I had gone far, a pair of vendors selling cotton candy and candied haws caught my eye.I haven't seen them again for many years, and thought that the memories of these children's taste buds were about to disappear, but I didn't expect to meet them now by accident.It was just that when I saw that the hawker was surrounded by children who only reached his chest, I didn't have the courage to go up.
I don't know when Ji Zi noticed my strangeness, or maybe she was also attracted.In short, she pulled me and walked over.
When the children around saw her, they voluntarily gave way to her, and looked at her with strange eyes, which made Ji Zi dumbfounded.As I have said long ago, she is surrounded by students not only because of her hair color.
I want two marshmallows and two candied haws.Ji Zi stretched out two fingers and smiled at Mimi.
The peddler said: Got it, wait a minute.
Jin, what did he say?Ji Zi asked me.
He said he got it.
Ji Zi looked like you don't fool me: obviously he only said two words.
I have to explain it in another way. I don’t know if the Cantonese vernacular also means “hen”?What's so strange.
Ji Zi gave me a smirk in return.
Another partner with the hawker just now asked what kind of candied haws we want, and quickly took it out and handed it to us.Six stuffy silver.He said.
Ji Zi was dumbfounded again, dumbfounded.So I had to do it myself again, took out six dollars from my pocket, and paid the bill.
After we left with the large but light marshmallow alone, Ji Zi asked me if I meant six dollars in the sentence just now?I said yes, she read it a few times according to her memory, and finally gave up.
It seems that I can't learn your words here.she says.
It's okay, I comforted, if you encounter this kind of situation again in the future...
Will you be my interpreter?Ji Zi spoke first.
No, as long as the person is not too old.If you ask them again in Mandarin, they will also change it to Mandarin.I said casually while biting the marshmallow.No matter how much the marshmallow changes color, it is still sugar, and the taste is the same as before, not changed at all.
It's not romantic.Ji Zi said.Fortunately, we have already arrived at the door of the hardware store. The open space in front of the door is full of farm tools, mostly sickles.Because it is a market, many farmers come to buy farm tools.
Ji Zi threw away the stick in his hand and walked straight to the shopkeeper.After a while, she came out with a disappointed face.
The man said no, let's change to another one.
I took Jizi around a corner and went to another street she hadn't chosen before, where there was a stall selling farm tools and groceries.Because the street is narrower, there are still cars coming on the road, Ji Zi walked behind me, holding me loosely with one hand.
This feeling is not bad.
I found that she is smarter than Zhang Ning.Her indifferent behavior made it impossible for me to reject her clearly, the so-called retreat.
I think about that day again.Zhang Ning didn't seem to notice Ji Zi's existence.He hugged me quietly for a while, and finally let go.
Sorry just now, I didn't mean to lose my temper.I just... She choked up and couldn't speak.
I sighed, a little helpless: I understand, but I really don't want to see you continue like this.
I don't want to either, let's live for a while.She suddenly laughed at herself, and Zhang Ning, who was shining with tears, looked pitiful.After that, I will listen to you and study hard.
However, at this time, I don't understand that the apple will not stop being corrupt until it completely goes bad.
what happened?I asked her as softly as possible, for fear that if I was not careful, I would break her down again.Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning's eyes flickered.
Something happened, but I can handle it.
——Manufacturers go to the countryside to wholesale lighters, seven for five yuan, eight for five yuan, ten for five yuan...
A rough male voice brought me back to reality, and at first I thought I had heard it wrong.When I saw the booth next to it that was continuously sending out recordings, it turned out that I really heard it right.There was a row of lighters, all of different styles.
What are you in a daze for?All arrived and left.Ji Zi grabbed me and asked.
nothing.I say again, it seems like this has become my mantra.Ji Zi glanced at me and walked straight into one of the shops without saying anything.
I don't know if the wire saw is too weird. We searched several places, but couldn't find it.In the end it was a shopkeeper who found the only stock in the corner—a spiral serrated steel rod, still rusty.But also because of this, the owner generously does not charge us money.
Ji Zi took the wire saw wrapped in newspaper and was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he continued to drag me to a cattle miscellaneous shop.
Each of us ordered a generous plate of offal: kelp, meatballs, mushrooms, hot dogs, quail eggs, and a piece of daikon.Then he took the plate and walked to the tables and chairs under the big tree behind the shop.The sun was covered by the luxuriant canopy of the big trees, making it a lot cooler.Next to it is a small shop full of bamboo products, agricultural supplies that are about to be eliminated by the times, such as bamboo baskets, bamboo hats, chicken cages, and pig cages.
My dad does that too, and he can choreograph lion dances too.Ji Zi said suddenly, she forked a piece of mushroom, put it down in her mouth and continued: He often went to cut bamboo, and when he came back with a big moso bamboo, he peeled it into thin bamboo strips in two or three strokes.Then, sitting in the hall and weaving patiently.My father not only makes ordinary tools, but also likes to make some beautiful handicrafts.Speaking of which, she let out a long sigh of regret. Unfortunately, when I was young, I thought they were not good-looking, so I didn't learn them.
I nodded, not agreeing.It's just that when Ji Zi described it, the back of a slightly hunchbacked man emerged.He was wearing a gray-blue tunic, carrying a thick bamboo on his shoulders, and was walking on the path in the village.
It took me a while to realize that such a back looks very much like my father.
I haven't thought of my father or mother for a long time. Is this a kind of unfilial piety?
Just as he was thinking, Ji Zi suddenly forked a sliced hot dog and handed it over, the meaning was self-evident.I opened my mouth and bit down, and the discomfort I felt earlier has already passed with time.
delicious, right?She said with a smile.
Hmm... Before the words finished, the familiar ringtone of the mobile phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and immediately guessed the purpose of the caller.
I take a call.I said to Ji Zi, she suddenly lost the interest just now and just oh.
Hi Jin.Lan said in his usual gentle voice, have you had lunch yet?
eating.I took a moment to look at the beef offal on the table, this should be considered a beef meal.Have you finished reading the book?
According to the calculation of time, Lan not only received it, but also should have read the book more than twice.Sure enough, she said: After reading it, I have already sent the book back, and I have written suggestions.But I didn't call to tell you that.She paused before saying: Jin, you wrote this book?
I laughed: How could you think so, you are my student.
Lan let out a chuckle over there, really want to meet that student of yours.Let me tell you this, before I thought you wrote it without saying a word, so I read it again patiently. As a result, I found a very interesting detail.
what is itI asked myself and read it carefully two or three times. Except for Zhang Ning's instilling his own worldview without revealing any traces in the book, I really didn't find any interesting details.
Lan didn't answer me right away, but said like a trick: Is it convenient for you to talk?you are on the street right?Let's talk again when you get home.
☆, what are you doing
As soon as I got home, I dropped Ji Zi and immediately called Lan back.
I'm home now.I said, and at the same time glanced at Jizi who was sitting on the floor again, the wire saw wrapped in newspaper hadn't been used yet.
Um.Lan Man responded, and asked again: Have you read that book?
seen it already.
Did you notice how the heroine and her father suddenly returned to the village?
I thought about it carefully, and Zhang Ning really didn't seem to mention it.However, how can I go back?Walk or take a car?Zhang Ning is not writing fantasy, no matter how fantasy the plot is, it cannot be separated from reality.
Didn't notice, what's the problem?I am honest.
It is because of this detail.Lan let out a slight sigh, more like a surprise.I think what she wants to express is not that simple, it is not simply "leaving and staying behind".
Then what do you say?
Not sure yet.For the first time, Lan said that she was not sure, because her ending left room for readers to imagine, and there are many answers.That's why I want to meet your student, do you have her contact information?
Yes, do you want a phone number?When I said this, I realized that I didn't know her other contact information except the number, and even the string of addresses she wrote on the information was very general, only the name of a community was written.
Forget it, or not.Lan chuckled and said, well, I'm going to get down to business next.
What she said caught me off guard. I should have known that it was not that simple for Lan to let me go home on purpose.
If you have anything to say, just say it.
Well, my dad sent you something.Hmm... Don't be surprised when you see a big box when you go to pick up the courier.
I was speechless, just this?
Yeah, what else?Lan still asked with a smile.By the way, Jin, how do you plan to spend the National Day?She said something in her words.
stay at home.I said, because my relatives are coming soon.
Um?your uncle?
No, it's my aunt.After speaking, there was a moment of silence between us, and then we laughed out loud in tacit understanding.
ok ok, i see.Lan smiled and sighed, um...take good care of yourself and drink plenty of hot water.In the end, she still didn't forget to tease me.
Yes, I replied with a smile, but then I had to face the impending "farewell".That... hang up.
See you.Lan said, but didn't hang up the phone immediately.I stood quietly holding the mobile phone, her side was so quiet that I could still hear her weak breathing.Maybe it's just an illusion.
goodbye.I said and hung up the phone.A sense of grief suddenly rose in my heart, it was not clear, but a vague torture.
If someone asks me what Lan is to me, I can only say: she is the one who is there for me when I feel alone and helpless.
Finished the phone call?Seeing me coming in, Ji Zi said lukewarmly without raising his head.
I answered casually and sat cross-legged as I did in the morning.From my point of view, her profile tends to be angry.To use a common saying: the old elder with that stinky face has grown up.
Just come and help me.she says.At this time, I just discovered that the rusty wire saw has been polished almost.
how to do?
One person takes one side, you just cooperate with me.Ji Zi took the toolbox while explaining, she put the blind on the toolbox, the front half was vacant, and her other hand was responsible for fixing the wooden block.
Although it was my first time to use a wire saw, but fortunately we cooperated well, and soon saw through the curves on both sides.I suddenly thought of a question, why must the curve be?Can't it be a straight line?
Ji Zi was taken aback for a moment, she didn't seem to expect that I would ask this question.
I don't know, she answered unexpectedly, I saw my dad do it and I do the same.
I laughed, this answer is too unreliable.Let me tell you a joke.
Ji Zi looked at me, which means you can tell me.
There is a family, one day the daughter saw the mother who was cooking in the kitchen chop off the head and tail of the fish before putting it into the frying pan.She was curious and asked her mother why she did this.Mom replied: "I don't know, that's what my mother did."
So the daughter took the opportunity to ask grandma.Unexpectedly, grandma also said that she didn't know. She said: I learned it when I saw my mother do it.
The daughter became even more curious and ran to ask her great-grandfather.The skinny woman who had lived for nearly a hundred years laughed loudly and said: The pot used to be too small to hold such a big fish, so I cut it off.
Hearing this, Ji Zi snorted unhappily.Are you saying that our old Ji's family doesn't know how to be flexible?
I didn't say that.I said, don't take your seat on the right number.
Ji Zi snorted again, and childishly turned around to face me.As if to say: I'm angry and don't want to talk to you.
What's going on here?I noticed something strange, but I still pretended to be casual, angry?
I feel like you've been ignoring me!After half a minute, Ji Zi turned around, she looked aggrieved with deep contoured eyes.
When have I been ignoring you?
You never fail to introduce me to your friends.
Then I have to have my friend here, otherwise how can I introduce it?
That... Ji Zi hesitated because of my lack of words.Who was it that called you just now?You are still smiling so happily.Ji Zi said sourly, is she jealous?But is she jealous of that door?
Uh, she is my friend, but she is in Guizhou.I thought of Ji Ziti's colleagues last time, and said: I should be in the same city as you.
Male or female?
I had a momentary impatience, but I was honest.Ji Zi didn't feel relieved at all, instead he frowned and murmured: If it's a man, I'm more at ease.
What do you mean.I was really impatient this time, and I made up my mind that if she talks like this questioning again, I will invite this guy out of my house!
But Ji Zi seemed to see through my mind, and said in a sad tone: Didn't you notice that your eyes and tone changed when you talked to her?I thought I had only one rival in love.Did you know that people of the same kind have an inexplicably similar aura, the first time I saw you, I thought you liked the same sex.
I turned my face away and didn't answer, but I didn't feel angry with Ji Zi in my heart.
She's just my friend, better.Also, didn't you say that you don't like me that way?There are so many rivals.
Yeah?Did I say that?Ji Zi pretended to be stupid and said, forget it.forget it...
So far, this inexplicable conversation has come to an end.Ji Zi continued to make blind stools, but I didn't have the interest to continue participating.The phone call with Lan intensified my curiosity about the book, so I can't wait for the courier to fly to me immediately.
But after a while, I hesitated again.I asked myself: what are you doing?While rejecting Zhang Ning, he kept trying to get to know her.Especially for Ji Zi, while rejecting her but allowing her to approach.What do you want to do?
Maybe God can't stand me being so indecisive, and decides to give me a push.This evening, near the wee hours of the morning.I was woken up by the pain in my abdomen. At the same time, my chest was tight and I felt like vomiting more and more.I lifted the thin quilt on my body, and the constantly turning fan stimulated my skin. I trembled uncontrollably, but I still struggled to get up.This light movement woke up Ji Zi who was wrapped in another thin quilt beside him.
I didn't care about her, I stomped on the ground in the dark trying to find the slippers, and in the end I didn't care if I was wearing them right or not, and stumbled all the way to the bathroom.As soon as I left, the lights in the bedroom turned on.
Jin, are you okay?After a few minutes, Ji Zi's uncertain and worried voice came from outside the door.I think she must have been waiting in the bedroom to find me.
fine.I turned on the faucet and washed my face, only to find that my fingers were unbearably cold. Fortunately, the dullness in my chest was relieved, but the pain in my abdomen was still there.
You go back to sleep first, I will come out later.I yelled, thankful I prepared everything ahead of time.
All right.Ji Zi compromised, if there is anything, just call me.
After fiddling for a few more minutes, I dragged my weak body back to the room.I'm wearing summer pajamas, and I'm wearing the right slippers, and I'm not too embarrassed.Just a little cold.Even if Guangxi is still hot during the day in October, the low temperature in the early morning is enough for me.
The posture of Ji Zi sitting on the bed with a thin quilt is a good proof of this point. The fan has been turned off by her, and the whole space is quiet.
What’s wrong with you?Get up suddenly scared to death.She noticed my hand covering my abdomen, and guessed: Did I eat my stomach badly?
No, I said, it's just that my aunt is here.I sit back on the bed, and this is the shortcoming of the bamboo mat bed, it is too cold for me now.
Ji Zi said ah, and then, as if thinking of something, he reached out to touch my left hand.Her hand is different from the coolness of the day, but with warmth, so I let her hold it.
Why is it so cold?
It's like this every time I come, I'm used to it.
no!She snarled in a rare voice: How can you get used to this kind of thing!I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow to have a look.She rubbed my fingers and said: If something happens to the root of the disease in the future, who will you cry to?
I……
Hush!you don't talk.And so it was decided.Ji Zi said forcefully, it's very late to sleep.
I pursed my lips, and when she said this, my body felt drowsy.Forget it, we'll talk about seeing a doctor at dawn.
I lay back to the original position, and even though I was covered with a thin blanket, my body was still shivering from the cold.At this moment, Ji Zi walked over from behind me, she was emitting heat like a big furnace.
still hurt?She whispered in my ear, there was a feeling of hypnosis, my eyelids began to become heavy, and I only murmured.
Ji Zi's hand came around from behind and landed on my abdomen. The warmth in her palm could be felt through the clothes.I'll rub it for you while you sleep.she says.
I think I'm really sleepy and cold, and I don't want to give up this rare warmth, so I don't care how ambiguous my posture is at the moment.It's just the two of us here anyway, isn't it?
I thought wildly, and fell asleep after finding another source of heat for my equally cold feet——Jizi's feet.
☆, date
Because of my menstrual period, I woke up very early the next day, and only then did I really realize how ambiguous our posture was.Ji Zi hasn't woken up yet, she is almost in the same posture as last night.I was held in her arms, one of her hands was tucked in front of her chest, and the other was hanging on my waist. Not only that, but our feet were tightly pressed together, as if to keep warm.
I feel my ears burning up.Fortunately, his back was facing her, so he couldn't see her expression—even if she was asleep.Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of mood I should use to treat her.This is the one who warms me up.
I carefully removed her hand, sat up with my hands propped up and was about to leave when she woke up.
Ji Zi suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around my waist, and said something vaguely. I didn't hear clearly, so I had to turn my head to look at her. Ji Zi who hadn't opened his eyes looked like a cute pet, with golden broken hair on his forehead. Some messy some curly.
Where to go?She said heavily.
go to the toilet.I answered, and prepared to break her hand.In my opinion, her actions are as meaningless as the last time she suddenly woke up after being drunk and talked to me, and she was still confused for short.Maybe when I come back, I can see her sleeping face again.
oh.Ji Zi said, then he loosened his hands naturally.Go early and come back early, she said again, don't make me wait too long, I have to go out.
I couldn't help laughing, what is it all about.But she immediately realized that she should be talking about going to the doctor.Thinking of her still obsessed with it, I involuntarily reached out and brushed her messy bangs.The sleeping Ji Zi has a kind of innocent childishness, which doesn't care about appearance.And even if Zhang Ning fell asleep, he still looked preoccupied.
My hand paused and slowly retracted.When I got off the ground, I stepped on my slippers and left in a hurry.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Ji Zi walked out of the room sleepily.At this time, I was lying on the sofa watching TV, but I was playing with my mobile phone in my hand, because there were really no good programs, and the space for one person was too stagnant.
early.After she said hello to herself, she walked to the bathroom, and after a while, there was the sound of water.I was wondering how much she remembered about what happened just now.
A few minutes later, Ji Zi reappeared in my sight with water droplets on his face.She sat on the sofa with her arms around her knees facing me.A pair of restored eyes looked at me thoughtfully.
Jin, does your stomach still hurt?
fine.I stared at the phone screen and said casually. In fact, I still had a cramping pain in my abdomen, but I was used to hiding my expression.Even if the pain is unbearable, Ji Zi must not see anything.Sure enough, she stopped asking.
After breakfast we will go to the doctor.Hmm...what would you like to eat?
I looked up from the screen and met her eyes.Why don't you ask me if I would like to go to the hospital?
Ji Zi glared at me, didn't we agree last night?After finishing speaking, he probably felt that his attitude was too tough, so he softened his tone and said: Be good, don't make trouble.
I snorted disdainfully, that was your unilateral decision.
Ji Zi was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect you to make such an expression, Jin!She stretched out her hand and rubbed my face recklessly, and said with a smile: "It's pretty cute."
This time it was my turn to give her a glare, which was more unusual than usual.I said.If it was Han Zai, she would not be surprised, because I almost always have this expression every time I bully her.
Have I treated Ji Zi like a good friend for many years?Knowing this cognition, I fell into deep thought.
Jin, I think you look really good when you smile, why do you always have a straight face?I don't owe you any money.Ji Zi was inexplicably moved.
Everyone looks good when they smile.I put away my chaotic thoughts and said coldly, besides, I didn't keep a straight face all the time.
Ji Zi didn't answer, but slowly moved his index finger to the corner of my mouth, propping it up slightly like drawing a picture.
How beautiful it is.She said that her eyes looked like bottomless wells at this moment. We looked at each other for a while, and she suddenly said: I want to kiss you.It is simply amazing.
I turned my head abruptly, avoiding her fingers.
No matter how much you praise me, I will not go to the hospital.I pretended to say calmly, even though my heart was already turbulent.I guess it had nothing to do with emotion, it was just too sudden and direct.Or, Ji Zi's words broke something I didn't want to face all the time.
Why do they like me, like me, a person who has a dark heart and is riddled with holes?
Ji Zi laughed dryly.Just kidding...I'm so hungry.You still haven't told me what to eat?How about some porridge?Why don't you just go to the hospital to have a look, what are you doing?She said straightaway.
Can I say I'm scared?I said to myself, keeping silent about her question.
Ji Zi sighed, "Okay, okay, I won't go if I don't go."She adjusted her posture and sat facing the TV like me, where a certain food program happened to be playing - introducing the ingenious effect of a certain porridge, with side dishes scrolling at the bottom of the screen.When Ji Zi saw it, his eyes lit up.Just make the same porridge as on TV, okay?she asked.
I nod.Ji Zi stood up immediately, and I went to buy vegetables.After thinking about it, I said: If you are hungry, you can eat some biscuits first.
The biscuits were made by Ji Zi yesterday, using only crude tools, but the taste is not bad.She said that she usually likes to make some small pastries, because she thinks it is similar to carving.I really can't understand it, but it's none of my business.
While eating biscuits and waiting for Ji Zi to come back, Han called.Lan and her have made up their minds, so call me if you are right.
Hey.
Hey, Jin, will you come when I get married on the 31st of next month?Han got straight to the point, with a little complacency and joy in his tone.
Just as I was about to say something, I felt something was wrong, and after thinking for half a second, I suddenly realized.
I'm also getting married on February 2th, will you come?I said it on purpose.
Hate!Han Chen said, but I can still hear her unconcealable laughter.I was caught by you again.
Well, let's be honest, when are you getting married?
November 11, I heard it is a good day.Han said, but I really don't know what's so good about it.
Uncle and aunt decided, right?Where will it be held?
Speaking of this, I am angry!You don't know, I've been so busy these days, and I'm choosing a hotel to try on a wedding dress again.Jin, you are right, you should just spend nine yuan for a nude marriage.I feel like I'm getting premarital syndrome.
Don't.I interrupted her complaint, who said that walking on the red carpet in a wedding dress is beautiful and sacred?Besides, you can't run away halfway.
After hearing this, Han said with infinite sorrow: "There must be an auditorium to have a taste."They booked in a hotel, and even booked two places, Beihai and Nanning.
ah?While this is understandable, I was still taken aback.How can this be tossed?
It’s fine if you come to Nanning, and you can save some fares.Han said, I sent you the wedding invitation by express.I am in Beihai now.
I sat up straight involuntarily, and put back the biscuits I was going to eat.Question: Why did you run there without saying a word?
Getting ready for the wedding.Do you think you can get married casually? Don't you know that there are a lot of things to prepare, from as big as the guest list to as small as the amount of wedding candies...
stop.I said, I see.
Hey, just listen to my complaints and you will die!Han said, heartless guy, if you don't pay more for your share, you will die.
The bag must be the thickest one.I said with a smile.
Han also saw through me immediately, and said with disgust: such a perfunctory tone.
I made a mischievous expression on the phone, but Han naturally couldn't see it.
Forget it, I haven't known you for a day or two.I don't know who you are.She said in a positive tone, by the way, you remember to bring your girl.
What?I couldn't turn the corner for a while.
It's the student who likes you, Zhang Ning, right?The sound of Han Huaixiao came, and I clearly wrote on the wedding invitation that Ms. Lin Jin's family will be entertained.
I'm the only one in my family.Don't mess around!I warned, at this moment, the sound of going upstairs came from downstairs, and Ji Zi would really find time to come back.Fortunately, Han didn't notice the background sound.
I didn't mess around.I'm not talking about you, you've lived for so many years, and it's not easy to meet someone you like and likes you, why hesitate?Han said, is she planning to persuade me?
Ji Zi appeared at the stairs carrying a bunch of things, glanced at me who was talking on the phone, and walked towards the kitchen without saying a word.
You shouldn't be with Zhang Ning because of the matter between me and Liu Zhan, right?Han's conversation suddenly changed. In fact, you don't have to worry so much. I believe she really loves you.
what do you know.I couldn't help it.
Han didn't answer me directly, but said in a tone of hating iron but not steel: You just run away, and don't come to me to cry if you regret it later.Hang up, my mother is calling me.
As soon as she finished speaking, the head on the phone fell silent all of a sudden, quiet and terrifying.I threw the phone aside, rubbed my hair irritably, and after a while it hung down weakly again, hugging my arms tightly and shrinking myself up.
Jin?What’s wrong with you?Ji Zi's anxious voice reached my ears, and I looked up at her, only to see that she breathed a sigh of relief.I was scared to death, I thought you fainted.
Ok.
I bought painkillers, would you like to take one?
No thanks.I said.Ji Zi's face suddenly changed, but soon returned to normal.
Well, if you really can't stand it, don't hold on.She said, that look was like she was going to put her hand on my forehead to prove that I didn't have a fever.By the way, I went to the vegetable market just now and saw some very strange things.I'll show it to you.
Ji Zifeng ran into the kitchen again in a hurry, and came out with a bag of things.
The grandpa who sold these said they were edible.Ji Zi exposed the contents inside.Do you know what this is?
The thing wrapped in the black plastic bag is indeed strange.It was brownish-yellow all over, and darker in places.Its fruits are like small crutches, mostly bent at right angles.There are still dried fruits at the end of the fruit, a lot.
I have eaten this thing, and I know its common name, but if I were to express it in Mandarin, I would not be able to.
So I said with a serious expression: I can only tell you that this thing is indeed edible.However, if it is not ripe, it will taste very astringent. You have to dry it first, then steam it, and it will taste sweet.As for the taste, others say it is a bit like a banana, a bit like an apple, and a bit like a raisin.
Ji Zi was taken aback when he heard that.
☆, cooking
I broke off a piece and removed the seeds at the end.It's a bit sweet at the beginning, but it's almost too astringent after the mouthful.I swallowed it hard, my brows furrowed together.
Ji Zi blinked with an innocent expression.Didn't you say that it's not delicious if it's not cooked through?
Haven't eaten it for many years, want to try it.
She nodded half understanding, and reached out to break a piece.I stopped her, but don't eat it yet, I'll take it to dry.Now that the sun is so bright, it should be enough to eat in one afternoon.
Since I didn't have a suitable container for that at home, I had to use newspaper instead.As soon as I got to the top of the building, I felt a burning sensation like a flame. After standing for a minute or two, my back was covered with thin sweat.Looking at the scorching sun above my head, I once said that I would never come back if I had the chance.
Then what was Ai Ai's reason for running back earlier?Just looking back on your own youthful years?
I spread the things evenly, looked at the still blue sky, went downstairs, and the temperature in the room without sunlight returned to shade.
Ji Zi is no longer in the living room, she is in the kitchen.The porridge was already boiling, the white rice grains were tumbling, and Ji Zi was putting the ingredients into the pot one by one.She was back in her white shirt and apron, a housewife.Nearly one-third of the long blonde hair is tied into her favorite ball head, dyed almost transparent under the escaping sunlight
