Indiscriminate

The wah wah wah wah wah wah of the old air conditioner disappeared at some point, and the white gauze fluttered slowly with the breeze, sweeping over his exposed arms one after another. Shi Shilei opened his eyes and saw the sky outside, even the sun was falling straight By the door.

He lazily got up, sat in the empty bed curtain, touched the mobile phone outside, opened it, and woke up in an instant - it was almost noon.Shocked, Shi Shilei hurriedly looked around for clothes to wear, not knowing when Fu Qinruo got up, but he disappeared.

There was a standing fan at the end of the bed, and the air conditioner was turned off.Shi Shilei put away the white gauze curtain, shook the quilt again, folded it into one piece and put it under the pillow.

While sending a message to Fu Qinruo, he checked himself for any abnormalities.Not long after, Fu Qinruo replied that he was out to buy watermelons, so he asked him to go to the kitchen to find food for himself, and check to see if Sisi was seriously practicing calligraphy in his study.

After Shi Shilei washed up, he went to the front to find something to fill his stomach. There was new milk in the refrigerator, which should have been brought in in the morning.Even when Sisi came back to spend the summer vacation, she had to use the morning to practice calligraphy. After thinking for a long time, Shi Shilei couldn't think of any reason to prevaricate her grandparents, explaining why she slept until noon and was about to eat lunch.

He was drinking milk, recalling the previous few times when he slept at Fu Qinruo's house, he also went to bed late, but his grandparents didn't seem to say anything to him.But just because of the old man's tolerance, Shi Shilei couldn't make things worse, thinking about how to please him, and thinking that Fu Qinruo was still outside, he sent a message to find him.

Before going out, Shi Shilei went back to Fu Qinruo's study room, and saw the little girl obediently sitting behind the desk practicing calligraphy, and Grandma Fu was also sitting inside reading.He didn't intend to disturb, but grandma looked up and found him.

"Are you up?" Grandma Fu asked with a smile.

Shi Shilei was taken aback, smiled shamelessly, touched the back of his head and said, "I went to bed late last night."

"Yeah." She saw that he was holding milk in his hand, so she didn't ask if he had eaten, and said, "Qin Ruo went out to cut his hair, and we'll have something to eat when he comes back. Let's eat something simpler at noon, the weather Also hot."

"Hey." He nodded obediently, but was surprised that Fu Qinruo went to get his hair cut. The message clearly stated that he was buying watermelons. He asked, "Grandma, where did Fu Qinruo go to get his hair cut? I want to find him."

Grandma Fu thought for a while, then shook her head: "He didn't say that, and he shouldn't be far away. There is a barber shop on the street, where do you want to go?"

Shi Shilei did remember that barber shop, but it seemed that many years had passed, and he felt that there should not be any young people going there to get their hair cut.After thinking about it, he decided to ask Fu Qinruo directly, and said, "Grandma, I'm going out first."

"Well, don't be too playful, remember to come back for dinner." Grandma Fu ordered.

Shi Shilei walked over more than ten thresholds before reaching Taimen Dou, and walked out from the small door next to him, and felt the strong sun within two steps.He retreated unbearably, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, feeling a little dazed before his eyes.

Without even applying sunscreen, he struggled at the door.The content of Fu Qinruo's message stunned him for a few seconds—he actually asked the old man to cut his hair at the barber shop at the corner of the street.Shi Shilei had an ominous premonition in his heart, he sank, and went out against the sun.

Not knowing what kind of cut it would look like, Shi Shilei walked under the eaves of the shops on the street, trying not to bask in the sun, and walked to the barber shop not long after.He glanced inside in disbelief, but he didn't see Fu Qinruo. He was puzzled for a while, and looked around again, making sure that there were indeed no other barbershops.

"How much?" came a gentle voice from inside the room that required careful listening.

Shi Shilei was clever, and when he looked back, two people appeared in the empty barbershop.He took a closer look, and suddenly there was a thump in his heart——

Fu Qinruo, who has just washed his hair, is giving the money for a haircut to an old man who is over fifty years old.

Did he cut his hair or shave it?The originally refreshing broken hair disappeared, and it was cut into the same size as Shi Shilei, and his forehead was completely exposed. Because he had just washed his hair, the hair stood up clearly one by one, which looked a little funny, and he looked like a shameless man. Time to take care of your high school look.

And Shi Shilei had never seen Fu Qinruo dressed like this.Fu Qinruo used to wear shirts neatly, rarely even T-shirts, and trousers that didn't show his ankles.

But today he was wearing an ordinary white vest that could be bought in a clothing store in the vegetable market, and it hung loosely on his body, revealing his pale collarbone and shoulder bones, as well as his thin arms.He was still wearing slacks and clogs, and he looked exactly like a pre-grown teenager who would come out of any old house just to go back to his hometown for a summer.

Not a scholar at all.

Fu Qinruo knew that he was coming, and when he saw his stunned expression, he couldn't help being startled.He came out, looked back and forth facing Shi Shilei, lowered his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Qinruo!" Shi Shilei took his hand.There was still cold water in his palm, which made Shi Shilei wake up, and blurted out: "You are so handsome! I never thought you were so handsome before!"

He suddenly yelled loudly, which made Fu Qinruo jump.He looked at the old man who had the haircut, he was also surprised, and quickly signaled Shi Shilei to keep silent: "Don't get excited."

"Oh." He closed his mouth, but repeated in a low voice, "It's really handsome."

Fu Qinruo blushed when he was praised, and avoided talking about it, saying: "Let's go back and buy watermelons."

Shi Shilei originally thought that a scholarly family like the Fu family couldn't dress so casually. Walking on the road, he couldn't help molesting Fu Qinruolai again: "Mr. Fu, you dress like a brat. , do your grandparents know?"

Fu Qinruo smiled slightly and said: "It's okay to dress casually at home, anyway, the neighbors know each other."

"I knew I was wearing a tank top and shorts." Shi Shilei looked down at the canvas shoes on his feet, thinking that if he went back at noon, he would be black and white, right?He secretly rolled his eyes, clasped Fu Qinruo's fingers the moment he swung his arm, and took his hand.

Fu Qinruo was startled, looked at him, and didn't let go of his hand.

"I got up late again today. In the next two days, I need to write some words for my grandparents to clean up." Shi Shilei talked about his plan, and said, "I need to buy some pens first."

Fu Qinruo thought for a while, and said: "That's fine, I promised you to copy a collection of poems before, but I have been procrastinating. Since you want to write, let's write together. Sisi is here, and set an example for her."

Speaking of this, Shi Shilei couldn't help asking: "Is she willing to practice calligraphy, or did you let her learn it?"

"Children are very curious and are easily influenced by what they see and hear. She often sees the adults at home writing, so she follows along." Fu Qinruo suddenly stopped, and also grabbed Shi Shilei who was walking forward, "Didn't you say you want to buy a pen? Yes I often go to this store, and it’s close to here, let’s buy a pen first and then go to buy watermelon.”

Shi Shilei's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

It was a very small store, and there was a plaque at the door that said direct sales of Hubi. Shi Shilei looked up at the plaque before entering the door, and found that the words on the plaque were very familiar. When he saw the signature and seal, his heart suddenly stopped.

"Brother Qinruo, can we change the store?" Shi Shilei pulled Fu Qinruo who was about to enter, and asked softly with his eyes wide open.

Fu Qinruo asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

He didn't want to say the reason, so Jizhong Shengzhi thought of an excuse and said, "I want to take a look at the copybook by the way, do you know where there is such a store?"

"Yes, but it takes three or four stops." Fu Qinruo thought about it, "Are you hungry? Let's eat outside, and we'll go back after we've bought everything. I'll call grandma."

When Shi Shilei heard his agreement, he smiled and nodded in response: "Yeah!"

Fu Qinruo looked at him inexplicably, but didn't let go of his grasp, and said, "Let's go."

After walking away, Shi Shilei breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly glanced back at the inscription on the plaque, and didn't know why Liu Ying wrote the name of such a small shop.

In short, just seeing his name, Shi Shilei was already feeling uncomfortable.

There were many good copybooks in the store, and the two of them looked at them for a long time, and the time passed without knowing it.After I bought everything again, I even killed my lunch break.

Because Fu Qinruo's feet were wearing hard wooden clogs, two red marks were drawn on the insteps, and Shi Shilei's ankles also had a clear dividing line.They washed their feet by the well in Mingtang. When Shi Shilei was fetching water, the bucket fell down and wet their clothes.They simply took off their clothes and soaked them in the basin.

Grandma woke up from a nap and saw two shirtless children washing clothes under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. She waved her hand and said, "Come inside, what's the sun drying?"

They were all stunned, and Shi Shilei explained: "I'm worried that the water will get the inside wet."

"It's such a hot day, it dries quickly even if it's wet. Is it almost finished?" Grandma Fu stretched her neck to look, and said, "There's sour plum soup in the refrigerator. I made it this morning. It's cold, so take it out and drink it."

Fu Qinruo picked up his clothes and wrung them dry, and said, "The watermelon soaked in the well. Where's Sisi?"

"Still asleep." Grandma Fu shook the cattail fan in her hand and said, "Drink some sour plum soup and go to sleep. In such a hot day, I need to rest for a while at noon." After saying that, she put on her shoes and went to the deep part of the room gone.

There was no need to look for a hanger for the washed clothes, they were directly hung on a rope in Mingtang.The snow-white clothes are shining white by the afternoon sun, and double images will appear in front of my eyes after looking at them for a long time.

Shi Shilei went back to the room to look for a vest to wear, and turned around to see Fu Qinruo, who had already put on the white vest, sitting beside the bed in a daze.

His clothes are not known how many years ago, they are a little yellowed, with the red strings on his wrists and the cropped cut just now, separated by a white gauze curtain, he really looks like a boy in the old days.

Shi Shilei gave up looking for clothes, walked over quietly, took out the wolf hair soaked in a cup of well water, and dipped it into a cup of iced sour plum soup.

"Fu Qinruo, I thought of whose words you were going to copy for me." He sat down next to Fu Qinruo, and when he wasn't paying attention, he wrote on his arm, "Copy' tulle shirt light cage Jade, cut jade is thin and timid. People are easy to get old, but hate is hard to be poor. Cuiping and Luo Bao are of the same heart.'”

Fu Qinruo thought that he was playing with the Langhao he had just bought, but after a while he looked down and found that the sour plum soup had turned into letters and landed on his skin. "This..." Even if he wiped it off, the sugar of the soup was left in his palm.

The afternoon sun is slanted and evil, making the tea leaves with the fragrance of lotus in the teacup glisten.

Shi Shilei crawled up to him and sat down, still holding the pen that could write petty small letters in his hand, the light in his eyes suppressed the coolness of summer.

Fu Qinruo looked at him for a long time, and finally reached out his hand to pick out another wolf hair that was still soaking in the well water, dipped it in tea, and landed the hair softly on Shi Shilei's shoulder.

Like a butterfly wing slowly falling.

After eating the watermelon rind, Grandma used a fruit knife to peel off the part full of tooth marks, revealing small white and green pieces, and held it in Sisi's hand.The little girl smeared the watermelon rind on her face, her eyes were squinted, and she sat on the small bench, like a lazy cat basking in the sun comfortably.

Shi Shilei saw that her little face was smeared smoother by the watermelon rind, like a boiled egg just peeled off the shell, so she couldn't help reaching out and pinching her face—even the touch was tender.

Sisi was caught off guard and was pinched, her expression was blank for a moment, then she gave Shi Shilei an impolite glance, and stretched out her chubby hand to pinch Shi Shilei mercilessly.

He laughed, but the little girl still stared at him unhappily, holding the watermelon rind that hadn't turned warm and continued to wipe it on her face.

Giggling amused by her serious gaze, Shi Shilei took the water glass on the small bamboo tea table next to him, and took a sip.After drinking the tea, he was taken aback for a moment. He raised the cup and checked to confirm that it was sour plum soup.

The coolness penetrating into the heart is mixed with a touch of incense in Shi Shilei's taste buds, the tip of the tongue unconsciously recalls the smoothness of Fu Qinruo's skin, and the heart also becomes hotter, perhaps it is iced tea with sweet-scented osmanthus and roselle Drinking can't relieve the heat of this summer evening.

Fu Qinruo didn't finish the sour plum soup before he left. Shi Shilei put it back on the tea table, and picked up his own glass to drink tea to quench his thirst.

Some flowers and plants were planted in the bright hall, and after sunset, mosquitoes and flies slipped out.The piece of watermelon rind in Sisi's hand was warmed by her own face, she threw it into the trash, and then picked up another piece of watermelon to eat.Because of being bitten by a mosquito on her leg a few times, she stomped her feet unhappily, and her clogs fell on the bluestone floor with a rattling sound.

"Sisi, don't be greedy, eat too much watermelon and have diarrhea." Grandma Fu worried that her stomach would not be able to take it because of her young age, so she reminded her softly.

"Well, it's the last piece." Sisi sat back on the bench, bit down, watermelon juice flowed all over her hands.

Shi Shilei looked at the unfinished Go on the chessboard next to him, and suddenly felt itchy on his arm, and slapped hard, with a "snap", his arm and palm were red, but he didn't hit anything, only heard the buzzing of mosquitoes The buzzing sound disappeared in the blink of an eye in the bright hall where the afterglow disappeared.

Soon the sensor lights behind him lit up because of the sound of clogs, Shi Shilei looked back, and it was really Fu Qinruo, who had gone to deliver watermelons, back with a mosquito coil.

He put the mosquito coils on the edge of the stone steps in front of the hall, clapped his hands, went to his cousin and touched her head.

Sisi pushed her cousin's hand away reflexively, but Fu Qinruo reached out to touch it again, which caused the cute little girl to glare at her.

"Eat them all separately?" Grandma asked, shaking the cattail fan.

If Fu Qinruo was going to deliver watermelons to the students who were building houses, he nodded, sat down on the bamboo chair next to him, and put his hand into the chess box.

It didn't take long for him to see the absent-mindedness of his opponent.Fu Qinruo looked suspiciously at Shi Shilei, who was staring at the chessboard with his chin in a daze, and asked, "What?"

Shi Shilei raised his eyes and looked at him as if he was looking at someone he just met - he was not used to Fu Qinruo's new haircut.He squinted at the little girl eating watermelon and the old lady who was enjoying the cool air, opened his mouth, and replied silently: "I—— miss—you——"

Fu Qinruo was stunned for a moment, put the sunspots back into the chess box, and said, "Shall we go to the garden? The lotus is about to close."

He blinked for no reason, and he saw Fu Qinruo got up and said to grandma: "Grandma, Shi Shilei and I are going to the garden."

"Go now?" Grandma said in surprise, "Take the flashlight, don't stay too long, there are mosquitoes."

"Okay." Fu Qinruo greeted Shi Shilei who was still sitting on the bench and got up.

Shi Shilei couldn't figure it out, so he stood up and followed Fu Qinruo to the back.After crossing two thresholds and reaching the retreat hall, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing there? There's not even a lamp, and you can't see any flowers."

After reaching the fourth entrance, Fu Qinruo went to the kitchen next to him.He looked back at Shi Shilei and said, "Do..."

"Do it?" Shi Shilei jumped forward and crossed another threshold.

Fu Qinruo turned his head, and the eyes of the two met.

After staring at each other for two seconds, Shi Shilei suddenly grinned, held the back of his neck and kissed him.

Fu Qinruo let him kiss for a while, and naturally put his hand on his waist. Seeing the smile in his eyes, which could even be soaked by moonlight, he smiled and raised his finger, and flicked it lightly on his forehead. .

"What are you doing in the garden? Really looking at the lotus?" Seeing that he had retreated to the wall, Shi Shilei raised his arms to put on his shoulders, and asked quietly.

Fu Qinruo looked up at him for a while, still couldn't help laughing, pulled his hand down and walked towards the kitchen, urging: "If you don't hurry up, the lotus will really close."

His whole weight was leaning on Fu Qinruo, and he couldn't help but staggered a few steps when he pulled him. The wooden clogs clattered in the long alley, awakening the lamps hidden under the eaves.

In the chest of drawers was a box of top-quality Monkey King. Shi Shilei leaned over to look at it with the help of the light, and it was considered to be a full box.He didn't know how to taste tea, so after smelling it, he was surprised and said, "It's quite fragrant."

"Well, this was brought back by my uncle some time ago." Fu Qinruo put the tea pot aside, found a transparent white gauze pouch from the refrigerator, and filled it with tea.

There were also mosquitoes in the kitchen. While waiting for Fu Qinruo to pack the tea, Shi Shilei stomped his feet several times.

Hearing that he stomped again, Fu Qinruo tightened the opening of the cloth bag and said, "It's done."

Shi Shilei watched for a long time, studying what he was going to do.He thought of the lotus flower that was about to be closed, and the hollow cloth pouch. When he walked out of the kitchen, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Ah! Do you want to put this in the lotus flower? Take it out when the lotus flower opens tomorrow morning." ?”

He looked at him in surprise: "Have you seen "Six Chapters of a Floating Life"?"

"Shen Fu's?" He shrugged, "I haven't read it. Is it written on it?"

Fu Qinruo nodded, and said, "I watched it when I was in junior high school and thought it was interesting, so I tried it. Grandpa likes to drink it very much, and has been doing it like this every summer since then."

Hearing that grandpa likes to drink tea steeped in the fragrance of lotus, Shi Shilei immediately snatched the tea bag from Fu Qinruo's hand, ran into the garden first, and said, "I'll put it in!"

No wonder the lotus fragrance wafted from the dragon well he drank these days. Fu Qinruo would put new tea bags into the lotus every night.There are only two or three lotus plants planted in the pool in the garden. The pool is small and they are all crowded together.

This pond has already been abandoned, and the backyard was also used to grow vegetables. When the people who lived in Taimen moved out, they collected everything they could. Now there is only a small vegetable field left. Not harvested yet.When grandparents are free every day, they come to water the vegetables, and what can be harvested becomes the vegetables of the day.

The lotus was transplanted by Fu Qinruo after the Taimen was taken back. It is not a rare variety, it is almost one kind.

There was only one lotus flower left, and Shi Shilei only had a tea bag in his hand. He was squatting by the pool, holding the cotton rope on the tea bag to put it up, but the lotus pod fell down because of the weight.

He quickly picked up the tea bag again.

Fu Qinruo walked over with a flashlight, knelt down beside him, and said, "You choose a good location before placing it."

"Do we have to wait for it to close before leaving?" Shi Shilei found a good place on the lotus pod and slowly put it up, only to see that the lotus stood up a little due to the slight weight of the tea bag.

"Just wait for a while." Fu Qinruo shone the flashlight on the ground.

"What sound?" Shi Shilei pricked up his ears to listen, "Crickets?"

Fu Qinruo shook his head and said, "I don't know, it must be Xia Chong."

Sure enough, as long as they calm down, they can hear the babbling and babbling of summer insects in their ears, just like a summer night singing party.

The acacia tree in the yard grew tall and big, covering the brilliance of the bright moon, and the moonlight that fell among the dense leaves turned into stars.

"Fireflies?" Shi Shilei saw a little green light flashing across the grass, rubbed his eyes, let go of the hand holding the tea bag, and ran over to have a look.

Fu Qinruo was taken aback secretly, but fortunately the petals of the lotus had been closed, and the tea bag was light and did not fall out.

Shi Shilei searched for a long time by the bushes, but he didn't see the little bug with green fluorescent light just now, so he couldn't help wondering if he saw it wrong.He sat down on the stone ridge beside the grass with some disappointment, and said, "There are no fireflies now."

"Did you see it when you were a child?" Fu Qinruo asked, still at the edge of the pool.

He shook his head and said regretfully, "I've never seen it before. I watched it in serial dramas when I was a child. As for the current TV dramas, they are all special effects, so I can't even watch them. Have you ever seen them?"

Fu Qinruo also shook his head regretfully.

The sky above my head is not covered by tall acacia trees, and I can still see the full moon hanging high in the sky, which is yellow and orange, and looks round and big.

Shi Shilei was very excited by this big discovery, waved to Fu Qinruo, and said hello: "Fu Qinruo, come here to watch the moon."

Fu Qinruo got up and looked up for a moment, not knowing why Shi Shilei was so excited, so he walked over.

Unexpectedly, the stone ridge on the side was broken, and Fu Qinruo was kicked aside before sitting down, a grasshopper jumped out of the grass, and disappeared to nowhere in a blink of an eye.

"Keep your voice down..." Shi Shilei whispered.

Fu Qinruo walked to the other side and sat down, whispering, "'Xiaozui whispers in your ear'."

He was slightly taken aback, seeing his half-smile, turned a blank look at him, and whispered, "Drunkard."

Fu Qinruo also found out that this is a good place to admire the moon, looked up for a while, and his smile slowly settled down.

Shi Shilei was going to admire the moon, but before he looked up, he saw Fu Qinruo.The flashlight he put aside hadn't been turned off, and the warm white light even illuminated his long eyelashes clearly.I don't know if it's because he went out to bask in the sun during the day, Shi Shilei vaguely felt that Mr. Fu seemed to be a little tanned.

"Hey..." He wanted to ask Fu Qinruo not to turn off the flashlight, but he didn't want to say why it couldn't be turned off, so he let him turn off the only artificial light source in the yard.

Fu Qinruo looked at him suspiciously.

Shi Shilei was afraid that he would look at it, and suddenly his heart seemed to fall into a hole, and he could even hear the echo clearly.

He doesn't speak.

Fu Qinruo didn't speak either.

Only the summer insects in the garden screamed vigorously.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Shilei saw that Fu Qinruo bit his lip unconsciously, and turned his face away.He also pursed his lips uncomfortably, and said in a very low, very low voice: "Brother Qin Ruo, are you going to tell Sisi a story today?"

Fu Qinruo was startled, turned to look at him, but didn't answer for a while.

"Stop telling her, tell me, okay?" he asked.

He couldn't help smiling, and asked softly, "Are you still young?"

"You're younger than you." Shi Shilei thought for a while and changed his mind, "Why don't I tell you a story?"

Fu Qinruo smiled and shook his head, but did not agree.

Shi Shilei rested his chin on his knees and muttered, "I want to go to bed early."

"In the afternoon..." Fu Qinruo turned his head before he finished speaking, just in time to see Shi Shilei looking over.

He leaned over to kiss him, and when his lips left, the tip of his tongue lightly slid on Fu Qinruo's lower lip.Shi Shilei looked into his eyes fascinated, as if the moonlight had already fallen into his eyes.

"Live fireflies?" Shi Shilei saw the dazzling light in his eyes when he was too close.

Perhaps it was because the summer night was already hot, and even Shi Shilei's silent breath slowly warmed Fu Qinruo's face.Fu Qinruo couldn't avoid his bright eyes, closed his eyelids, and said, "It flew into your eyes."

Shi Shilei closed his eyes, wondering if the firefly's light really flew in from Fu Qinruo's eyes, and whether its heat was really similar to the warmth on his lips.

However, he felt that when he had light, he would also generate heat.

After a rain, it has entered the rainy season.There is a faint smell of rain soaked everywhere in the wooden structure building, and the humidity is so heavy that it seems that the air has sunk to the ground, making the already empty platform door even quieter.

In such a weather, even people become lazy and tired, the sky is dim and cannot shine into the house, time becomes chaotic, and it is difficult to tell when the day will disappear.

Shi Shilei lay lazily under some damp quilt, stretched out his huddled body, and leaned against Fu Qinruo.The skin is moist, and it seems to stick together when touched.

There were a few faint knocks on the door, and Shi Shilei, who was half asleep and half awake, frowned unhappily, hugged Fu Qinruo, and muttered: "Who, early in the morning..."

His whispers would not be heard by those outside the door, and after a while, the knock on the door was repeated three times in the same rhythm as before.

Shi Shilei opened his eyes dimly, seeing Fu Qinruo sitting up and looking for clothes to wear, his hand naturally took hold of the corner of his clothes, and murmured: "Brother Qinruo..."

"It's getting late." Fu Qinruo sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a moment, his shirt button hadn't been buttoned yet, turned around and covered his exposed legs with a quilt, got up and went to open the door.

Shi Shilei fell asleep with a headache. Hearing him say this, he stretched out his hand from the white gauze tent, scratched at the table next to him for a while, finally grabbed his mobile phone, opened it, and was startled for a moment.

But at this time, I heard Grandma Fu's voice outside the door, asking: "Are you up?"

He quickly sat up, looked down and saw that he was still undressed, and immediately sat in bed.

"It's been a long time since I woke up." Shi Shilei sneaked to the edge of the bed, peeped out through the bed frame, and heard Fu Qinruo saying while bowing his head and buttoning his button.

Grandma Fu nodded, and said: "Your uncle called in the morning, and Mr. Zhou decided to buy the volumes of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that you put in his place. Mr. Zhou heard that you were the one who wrote it, and he wanted to visit. What do you give me?" Call your uncle back."

Fu Qinruo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did uncle say how much?"

Shi Shilei couldn't hear the answer, and only vaguely saw Grandma Fu compare the amount with her fingers, but she was far away and couldn't see anything clearly through the white gauze curtain and bed frame.

"Then I'll call my uncle later." Fu Qinruo paused and asked, "Is Sisi home yet?"

"Well, I called back just now and said that I have arrived." Grandma Fu said, "Then I'm going to prepare lunch, and I will wake Shi Shi up for dinner later."

Fu Qinruo nodded and excused him: "He wrote all night and only fell asleep in the morning."

"It's not good to be upside down." Grandma couldn't help scolding, and then whispered, "Then let him continue to sleep, and I'll cook some porridge, and you can bring it to him later. He eats sweet or salty of?"

"No need, grandma." Fu Qinruo stepped out of the room.

The old lady left Fu Qinruo in the room, walked outside, and said, "Let me cook some Meiling porridge. You change your clothes, it's cold today."

Shi Shilei sat on the bed, and as soon as he saw the light coming in from the door disappear, he looked around for clothes to wear.Not long after, Fu Qinruo lifted the bed curtain and sat back beside the bed.

"I'm going to tell grandma that I'm up." Shi Shilei picked up the jeans from the pedal, shook them, stretched his legs into them, and got out of bed.

Fu Qinruo was thinking about something, he was taken aback when he heard the words, he raised his head and asked, "You don't eat Meiling porridge anymore?"

He sits back beside him. "What's that?" After speaking, he turned to look for the shirt.

"It's a kind of porridge made of glutinous rice, japonica rice, and soybean milk. It's delicious." Fu Qinruo saw him frowning at his wrinkled shirt, with a tired smile in the corner of his eyes, and said, "Or go to Help me in the kitchen. Are you still sleepy?"

Shi Shilei yawned. "Sleepy must be sleepy..." He put his chin on Fu Qinruo's shoulder, rubbed his eyes and said, "But if I sleep with you and don't roll the sheets, I feel really bad."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo was stunned, laughed and shook his head, and said, "Then don't write so late in the future."

If Fu Qin was not used to staying up late at night, he fell asleep before midnight, leaving only Shi Shilei writing in the room.He wrote into the fan, unknowingly wrote until dawn, but woke up Fu Qinruo when he climbed into bed.

The time at home passed quickly, as if a day could pass without a moment, but in fact, I didn't do anything.It wasn't even daylight.

Sisi was brought back home by her parents before the rainy season began. The teachers and students from Beijing also left after finishing their work a few days ago. Now there are only four people, old and young, in the unpopular Taimen. Facing the small pond in the garden, listening to the sound of rain.

The grandma who was busy in the kitchen didn't expect Shi Shilei to get up so soon. Seeing his dark circles, she clicked tut twice and said a few more words in distress.Shi Shilei heard grandma talk about the process of Meiling porridge, but she still didn't want grandma to work too hard, so she decided not to eat it. Unexpectedly, grandma said that the ingredients needed are already being prepared, and they should be cooked first, and they can eat it when they are tired from writing.

"It's been four or five days?" Grandma Fu recalled the day Shi Shilei opened the book.

Shi Shilei helped grandma wash the glass lettuce that grew in the garden, nodded and said, "However, I haven't written regular script seriously for a while, and have rewritten it several times."

Grandma Fu steamed the yams in a pot, and said: "Writing is a heart-warming thing. If you care too much about it, even the strokes will tend to be blunt."

"Yeah." He nodded receptively, remembering what grandma and Fu Qinruo had said earlier, and wanted to inquire about the specific situation, but he was afraid that grandma would think he had something up his sleeve, so he held back the words.

Grandma can't ask here, but Fu Qinruo can say anything.On the way to bring the cooked food to the restaurant, Shi Shilei happened to see Fu Qinruo calling on the landline in his grandfather's study, speaking in a voice he had never heard before, and it was clearly more formal and serious.

After lunch, Shi Shilei stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes, and then made tea for Fu Qinruo.

He didn't sleep much, but he was still sleepy, and he couldn't help yawning when he came to the study with the teacup.Fu Qinruo had already spread out a new piece of rice paper and put down the paperweight. When he saw him coming in, he put down the pen he had just picked up, and stepped forward to take the teacup with both hands.

"Go back and take a nap when you're sleepy." Fu Qinruo put the teacup on the desk and said.

Shi Shilei shook his head reluctantly, moved a stool from the side and sat down against the desk, and refused, "No."

Fu Qinruo looked down at him, picked up his phone and sat down to drink tea.

"What are you going to write?" Shi Shilei asked curiously as he looked at the snow-white rice paper and guessed that he was going to write cursive or cursive script.

""Six Kingdoms"." After he finished speaking, he picked up the phone and took a closer look.

Shi Shilei blinked in surprise and asked, "Whose?"

"It's Su Ziyou." Fu Qinruo raised his eyes after finishing speaking, and seeing his disappointed look, asked, "Who do you like the other two more?"

He nodded slowly, as if he was about to fall asleep, rubbed his eyes, and asked about the morning's affairs: "Brother Qinruo, will all the good words you write be framed? There are also paintings."

Fu Qinruo thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "Sometimes the elders in the family will let me take out the calligraphy and paintings for them to see, and they will help me put them up if they think it is good. I seldom do it myself." Seeing Shi Shilei's tired face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Shilei lay on the desk for a long time, and said the manuscript he had typed in his heart: "The words you wrote can already be sold for money?"

It should have been expected that he would ask. Fu Qinruo was not surprised, but he was still unavoidably stunned for a moment before nodding his head.

He pursed his lips, seeing that Shi Shilei was still looking at him earnestly, he said: "That is the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that I started writing at the end of last year, and it was almost completed last autumn. My uncle runs an auction house Okay, I will also collect some calligraphy and paintings. After all, I will keep them when I write them, and let him take them when he says they are useful. A friend of his saw them at his house a few months ago, and he decided to buy them only a few days ago."

A whole "Sun Tzu's Art of War"... Shi Shilei pondered for a while, and asked: "How much did you buy it for?" Before Fu Qinruo could answer, he asked again: "In addition to the income from opening an inn, you also sell calligraphy and paintings for some money. What? There are all kinds of rent... Ah, you have a lot of ways to make money!"

Fu Qinruo avoided answering, and said: "Uncle came back before, because his family had mentioned you, so he looked for your words at home to read. ——It's the painting "Will Enter the Wine"."

He blinked and asked in surprise, "Has your whole family seen that picture?"

"Hmm." Speaking of this, Fu Qinruo showed a smile on his face, "Everyone likes you very much."

"—the characters?" Seeing that he was still smiling, Shi Shilei rolled his eyes and said lazily, "I can only read the characters! Ah, fortunately, I still have the characters! —— You change the subject How much is it? Is it enough for me to buy a bag?"
