Indiscriminate

When the money was handed back, Fu Qinruo was stunned for a moment.Seeing Shi Shilei's blushing face and moist eyes, he couldn't help being startled, quickly brought the money over, and said softly, "En. Keep the money and go to sleep."

Shi Shilei was stunned for a moment, saw him turn off the light, and immediately opened his arms to hug him in the vision that had not completely darkened, and pressed Fu Qinruo onto the pillow.

"Fu Qinruo..." The electric blanket still couldn't warm Shi Shilei's feet, he hooked Fu Qinruo's calf, squeezed into his knees, and slowly called his name in a soft voice.

Fu Qinruo couldn't get used to his sudden closeness, he froze for a moment, then turned sideways and hugged him back.

I thought he would refuse, but when he felt his arms around his waist, Shi Shilei's nose hurt, and he bent down and put his cat into his arms.

Fu Qinruo didn't speak, just like coaxing a child who dare not sleep alone, he patted his back lightly, so light that it doesn't need to be distinguished, just to comfort him.

But this night was difficult to sleep, Shi Shilei was used to going to bed late, and tossing and turning when he got to bed so early.He wanted to talk to La Fuqinruo, but when he heard his voice was hoarse, he had no choice but to give up.

Shi Shilei hugged his arm and slept next to his shoulder.When he was about to fall asleep, perhaps Fu Qinruo's medicine had worn off, and he started coughing.

Every sound was very depressing, and a faint tremor spread along the quilt and pillow, shaking Shi Shilei's fingers clasped between his fingers to shake slightly.Once he coughed too fast, and after he finished coughing, he broke away from Shi Shilei's hand, lay on the edge of the bed and gasped for air, the sounds sounded like a blower that was about to break down, and Shi Shilei seemed to be able to hear the sound of his lungs twitching.

Maybe it was because his heart and lungs were in his chest, Shi Shilei turned his back to him, curled up, covered his ears, only heard his heart beating non-stop.

It turned out that one night was so long.He didn't know when Fu Qinruo calmed down, it seemed like a long time passed, so long that he thought it was going to be dawn several times.

It seemed that he fell asleep listening to the sound of Fu Qinruo's breathing.

And so the night was quiet.

But later Shi Shilei still dreamed of Fu Qinruo.In the dream he was no different from when he was awake, leaning on the desk and coughing, his bent body was shaking violently, Shi Shilei watched anxiously, rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find medicine for him, finally found cough syrup and brought it to him.He raised his head, his face was as pale as a candle on an altar, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which made Shi Shilei gasp.

"Fu Qinruo!" Shi Shilei woke up in fright, sat on the bed panting, touched the side and found that the bed was half empty, hurriedly looked at the curtain and screen, but Fu Qinruo was nowhere to be seen.

No wonder it was so quiet, I don't know when he left.

Shi Shilei looked at the dark sky outside, put on his coat, got out of bed to look for Fu Qinruo.

The lights in the corridor are sensory, but Shi Shilei moved too lightly when he walked by, so they didn't turn on at all.He touched the sensor switch and saw the stairs going down after the light came on.

There was no one in the front hall, so I don't know if Fu Qinruo slept in another room.Shi Shilei looked at the door of each room, and found that except for the room where the guest lived, all the others were locked from the outside.There was no one in the bathroom, and the kitchen was also empty. He looked at the door leading to the courtyard, thinking that it was so cold outside, Fu Qinruo would not go out, and he was even more puzzled.

"Cough! Cough!"

Shi Shilei just turned to go back to the room, when he heard Fu Qinruo's voice from behind the door, he stopped in his tracks.He was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the door to go out, seeing the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover.

Fu Qinruo was wearing a down jacket, and squatted down on the ground because he coughed too much.

He was not wearing socks, and Bai Shengsheng's ankles were particularly dazzling in the hazy night.

After being covered by his palm, his coughing sound became deep and sandy, like a black cloud that was about to drop raindrops.

"Fu, Fu Qinruo..." Shi Shilei walked over and called him softly.

Fu Qinruo's figure paused, then turned around after slowing down, still panting.He looked at the pale-faced Shi Shilei in surprise, stood up slowly with his knees propped up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is it disturbing you?"

Shi Shilei's heart sank violently, and he stepped forward to hug him.

He didn't have much strength, and he took a small step back, and only after a while did he stroke Shi Shilei's back twice.

"Let's go see a doctor." Shi Shilei buried his face in his neck and said in a low voice.

After saying this, Fu Qinruo coughed again, causing Shi Shilei to shrug his shoulders.

Fu Qinruo touched the back of his neck that was exposed outside, "Go tomorrow." After speaking, he felt Shi Shilei's arms hugging him tighter, he turned his head sideways, and pressed his lips against his cold ears , repeating, "Tomorrow."

After returning to the room, Shi Shilei still insisted on sleeping next to Fu Qinruo.If Fu Qin didn't refuse this time, let him sleep on the outside of the bed.

Shi Shilei helped him tuck the quilt up, still clasped his fingers and closed his eyes sideways, and occasionally heard him cough lightly, so she leaned over and kept a kiss on his lips.

Soon Fu Qinruo calmed down, Shi Shilei looked at his sleeping face in the dark, and couldn't help biting his lips.

"Shi Shilei." Just as Shi Shilei's kiss left his brow, he heard him call his name softly.

Thought he was asleep, Shi Shilei was startled: "Huh?"

"I'll tell you a story when I recover." Fu Qinruo murmured without opening his eyes.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a while, suppressed a smile and had other emotions, nodded: "Yes."

Fu Qinruo sighed slightly and said, "Let me tell you something happy."

"What?" Shi Shilei didn't think there was anything to be happy about at this time.

He clasped their fingers and said softly, "It will snow tomorrow."

Shi Shilei was stunned for a moment, and said with a broken smile, "What is this..." Hearing Fu Qinruo's slow breathing after finishing speaking, he raised the corners of his mouth, "It's a happy thing."

The last time it snowed in the ancient town was four years ago.Since the beginning of winter last year, the weather has been very warm compared to previous years. There was no sign of snow, but after the new year, the temperature dropped sharply, and the severe winter seemed to be staged again before the beginning of spring.

It really snowed.

At first, it was just small snowflakes flying all over the sky with the new wind, but after two days, it turned into heavy snow.

Shi Shilei accompanied Fu Qinruo to the hospital for three days of injections. On the way back in the evening, he saw the ancient town covered in snow and couldn't help but stop.

"When the snow is a little smaller, you can come out for a walk." Although he stopped coughing, Fu Qinruo's voice was still hoarse.

Shi Shilei handed him the umbrella, took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the snow scene under the bridge as a souvenir, and when he looked down at the effect, he muttered, "Let's talk about it when you are fully recovered."

"Let me take a look." He held out his hand.

Shi Shilei gave him his mobile phone, brought back his umbrella, and said as he walked, "It will be difficult for them to go back today, right? Maybe the car won't be driving, because of the heavy snow."

"It shouldn't be a problem, they didn't buy high-speed rail tickets." Fu Qinruo looked at his watch, "It's almost time to go to the train station, too late."

"Great! Then there are only two of us left!" Shi Shilei was very happy when he heard that, and took his hand and said, "If someone comes, don't let them live, okay? Just two days. No, three days ...four days!"

Fu Qinruo lowered his head and flicked on the phone screen, but raised the corners of his lips slightly, without answering.

Shi Shilei was about to drag his voice to beg for a few words, but the smile on Fu Qinruo's mouth disappeared.Suddenly remembering that he was holding his own mobile phone, Shi Shilei quickly snatched it back.

The photo on the screen was a man's face when he was asleep. It's been so long that Shi Shilei no longer remembers who this person is.

He let go of Fu Qinruo's arm, and pressed back to the home page, his hand holding the umbrella trembled slightly.

Fu Qinruo looked at him, didn't speak, and walked forward.

Obviously he didn't speed up his pace, but Shi Shilei still felt that he would not be able to keep up with him, so he walked quickly to walk side by side with him.He remembered that there was still a photo of Long Qing in the album, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the beginning word.

Back in the Misty Rain Corridor, Shi Shilei also put away his umbrella, turned his head to look at Fu Qinruo, but he still lowered his eyes quietly, and didn't intend to speak.

Shi Shilei gritted his teeth, still took out his phone, held him back, lowered his head and began to delete photos.

"Eh? Little Fu!" Fu Qinruo looked down at him to delete the photos, but when he heard someone calling him, he turned his head.

When Shi Shilei heard the reputation, he saw an old man over fifty years old, wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, standing on a black-covered boat, which he had never seen before.

"Uncle Feng, are you back?" Fu Qinruo greeted with a smile, looking polite and modest.

Old man Feng happily got off the boat and walked onto the pier. He took off his bamboo hat and said, "I came back before the Chinese New Year. I haven't seen you. I heard that you were sick? Are you feeling better? It's only the beginning of the new year. If you're sick, don't worry." good."

Fu Qinruo nodded: "It's much better, I just came back from the injection."

"Well, rest more. I heard that your voice is not very good, take care of it." Old man Feng looked at Shi Shilei curiously, and asked, "Your friend?"

Fu Qinruo looked at Shi Shilei, nodded with a smile: "En."

"Happy New Year, Uncle Feng!" Shi Shilei hurriedly wished the New Year.

"Hehe, happy new year, happy new year." Old man Feng said to Fu Qinruo, "I'll go back first, call me if I need something. Boats, like people, are always left unused and don't move, or they will break .”

Fu Qinruo thanked him first: "Well, good."

"Who is he?" After saying goodbye, Shi Shilei finally found a chance to talk to Fu Qinruo.

Fu Qinruo glanced at him indifferently, continued to walk forward, and said: "The boatman in the inn before, his daughter gave birth to a child in the United States last year, and he went abroad with his wife."

Shi Shilei nodded clearly, seeing Fu Qinruo entered the door, he quickly followed and grabbed his sleeve.

"I..." He was about to speak, but when he saw the couple coming out with their luggage, he had no choice but to let go.

Fu Qinruo looked at them and asked, "Do you want to check out?"

"Hmm." The girl glanced outside and exclaimed, "It's snowing so hard!"

He didn't speak, but went behind the counter to settle the bill for them.

Shi Shilei also followed, and exchanged pleasantries with them: "However, did you have a good time these two days?"

The boy smiled and said, "Yeah! It's even more beautiful when it snows, and I took a lot of photos."

Hearing the word "photo", the smile on Shi Shilei's face froze.

When the two were waiting for the settlement, they talked about the postcard.The girl took out a stack of written postcards and asked Fu Qinruo to borrow a seal, but the boy stopped him and said, "There are so many, how long will it take to stamp? It's time to catch the train."

"It's just stamping, and it's not writing. How long will it take?" the girl said dissatisfied.

"You said just now that washing your hair doesn't take time, but what time do you think it is?" the boy scolded her.

She was startled, held back her breath, rolled her eyes and stopped talking to him.

Seeing that they were quarreling, Shi Shilei lowered his head because he didn't want to make peace.

"Give the seal to you, I'll engrave another one later." At this time, Fu Qinruo took the ledger to the counter, "Sign here."

The girl asked in surprise, "How can this be done?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not something expensive, it will be quick to engrave one." After Fu Qinruo finished speaking, he found the seal and handed it to the girl.

She was even more surprised: "You carved this?"

He smiled lightly and didn't even nod his head.

While signing, the boy said: "Hurry up and return it to others, you are greedy for petty gain."

"Why are you so bad?" Before the girl finished talking about him, he had already carried her luggage and left, maybe just to annoy him, the girl smiled sweetly at Fu Qinruo and said, "Then I will accept it. Go back and send you a postcard. Thank you!" After she walked to the door, her boyfriend was still standing there.

She snatched her suitcase and said angrily, "Look at him!"

Watching them go away, Shi Shilei pursed her lips and looked at Fu Qinruo who sat down to reply to the online message.He thought about it, sat down next to him, and continued to delete the photos on his phone.

But he never thought that there would be so many of them, it seemed that they couldn't be deleted.

"How many days do you want?" Just as he buried his head and held the small mobile phone in both hands, he suddenly heard Fu Qinruo asking after a sigh.

Shi Shilei was startled, and looked up at him blankly.

In the chat window on the computer screen, what appears to be a buyer asking when the store is available.Shi Shilei just remembered that when they were walking on the bridge just now, he told him not to let guests stay here for the time being.

Thinking of this, Shi Shilei put the phone on the table, got off the chair, pressed Fu Qinruo's shoulder, leaned over and kissed him.

The sparrows outside the window were chirping non-stop, disturbing one's sleep.

Shi Shilei curled up under the quilt, hummed and rolled twice in annoyance, and heard Fu Qinruo muttering: "It must be the snow that has stopped."

"What?" He looked up and happened to see Fu Qinruo lazily turning over and opening his eyes.

Fu Qinruo's eyes were so transparent that they reflected his face like a mirror, Shi Shilei blinked twice, and suddenly understood what he was talking about, jumped up from the bed after saying "Oops", grabbed his pajamas and pajama pants Put on the cover, put on the slippers and run outside.

The snow really stopped.

It fell all night, and the yard was covered with snow, a piece of white.The inn's black-covered boat parked next to the courtyard was covered in white and thick, and even some ice floes were floating on the river.

Shi Shilei looked up at the snow-covered town, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, but he was so cold that he shrank like a popsicle.

Sure enough, it was sparrows bickering on the jagged pomegranate tree.

He took a step forward, when suddenly a cloud of snow fell from the eaves, hitting his feet, making him cold and painful, and he jumped back into the house.

"Change your clothes and come down to play." When Shi Shilei was squatting in the yard making snowballs, he suddenly heard Fu Qinruo say behind him.

He looked back and saw Fu Qinruo was still wearing pajamas, wrapped in a coat standing in the door, holding his down jacket in his hand, and said, "My feet are red from the cold."

Shi Shilei smiled and covered the snowball in his hand, then suddenly grinned and smashed the snowball into the room.

As if he had been prepared for a long time, Fu Qinruo sideways avoided.He looked at the scattered snow at his feet, then at Shi Shilei who was only wearing unlined clothing, and asked, "Isn't it cold?"

"You are so tasteless." Shi Shilei walked briskly back into the room.

After all, the house was warmer, and the snow melted after a while.Shi Shilei stepped on the snow water suddenly, his slippers slipped, and he slid forward.Fortunately, Fu Qinruo was standing beside him, grabbed his arm and helped him stabilize.

Shi Shilei patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and rolled his eyes at Fu Qinruo with a smile.

"Isn't that sentimental?" Fu Qinruo said after letting go of his hand.

He rolled his eyes, smiled and raised his arms to wrap around Fu Qinruo's neck, approached his breath, and asked slowly, "Does it still hurt?"

Knowing that he was referring to what happened last night, Fu Qinruo suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the roots of his ears began to turn red at this time.

Now Shi Shilei laughed, lightly bit his left ear, and said with air flow: "I want to listen to the sound of melting ice and snow with you, and do the most romantic thing."

I thought I would see him avoid his gaze like before, but Fu Qinruo raised his eyes and looked into Shi Shilei's eyes.

Shi Shilei gave a "thud" in his heart, but the smile on his face was a bit awkward, and he forced himself to make a face at him, and said, "You have to learn from me. It was really uncomfortable last time. It hurts like hell."

Fu Qinruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and asked, "Why didn't you say that?"

"I..." Shi Shilei let go of his hand, rolled his eyes at him, and said shamelessly, "I forgot."

After returning to the room, Shi Shilei did not change clothes immediately, but sat in front of the computer, put his frozen red feet next to the electric heater to warm up, and went shopping online.

There are only a few days left before the Lantern Festival, and there are many activities about glutinous rice balls on the Internet, but he still entered something that has nothing to do with glutinous rice balls in the search bar.After taking the photo, he remembered that he didn't have the specific address here, and there was not much money left in the account, so he took a photo of the barcode with his mobile phone, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to find Fu Qinruo.

He was still in his pajamas, cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

"What did you put in it?" Shi Shilei leaned over to the pot of porridge and smelled it, but he couldn't find a reason for it, only that it smelled delicious.

"Chestnuts and yams." Fu Qinruo frowned and suppressed a yawn as he stirred the yellow and white ingredients in the rice porridge.

Shi Shilei nodded clearly, and asked, "Is it okay to add salt? I don't like sugar."

"Hmm." He noticed that Shi Shilei was holding the phone in his hand all the time, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, I took a picture of something, you can pay for it for me." Shi Shilei said, looking for the barcode.

"What is it?" Fu Qinruo asked while taking out his mobile phone from his coat pocket to scan it.But after asking, he had already seen the product information—it was a lubricant. He was stunned, but still lowered his head and pressed the payment confirmation. After a while, he asked again: "Do you have to buy it?"

Shi Shilei pouted and said, "You have confirmed the payment, so ask again."

Fu Qinruo breathed out a little, thinking of something, and subconsciously beat his hands on his waist, still slowly stirring the porridge in the pot with his hands.

Shi Shilei looked at him for a while, and asked: "The day after tomorrow will be fifteen, how do you plan to live?"

Hearing that the movements of his hands paused, he still looked at the pot of porridge: "I don't know if I should go home or not. There are lanterns over there on Fifteenth, and it's very lively."

"Flower lantern? Then go back!" After Shi Shilei finished speaking, seeing that Fu Qinruo didn't show any excitement or joy, he suddenly remembered his previous marriage, so he cheered up and said, "Otherwise, I'll go back with you! My grandparents really like me."

Fu Qinruo didn't answer.He bent down and turned off the gas, walked to the side and took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table.Seeing this, Shi Shilei quickly took the heat-insulating gloves next to her, and brought the porridge to the table.

This matter lasted until after breakfast, Fu Qinruo didn't say anything.

Soon afterward, staff came to repair the two malfunctioning air conditioners in the inn, and cleaned the vertical air conditioner in the front hall.The compressor of the vertical air conditioner had some problems in the past. When it was working, the air conditioner made a lot of noise, but it didn’t work for heating and ventilation. After they removed it, they told Fu Qinruo who was watching that the compressor was broken. It's time for a new one.

"But it seems that there is no such model in the store now, and the goods need to be transferred." The repairman said regretfully.

Fu Qinruo frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"

The two masters looked at each other, and one of them replied, "It's still Chinese New Year, at least it will be after the fifteenth day."

"The compressor is not working anymore. If you choose to repair it, we have to take it back." Another master said.

The door of the inn was open, and the air conditioner in the front hall was not turned on, and it didn't take long for it to start getting cold.Fu Qinruo stroked his arm and said, "Then it's time to get a new one. Thank you for your hard work."

There was no air conditioner in the front hall for heating, Shi Shilei sat at the counter to post, his hands became cold after a while.

He moved his feet on the chair restlessly, and accidentally ruined the words.Shi Shilei put down the pen, put his hands to his mouth and took a deep breath, rubbing the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Fu Qinruo writing on a piece of stone, so his mouth moved, and he swallowed what he wanted to say again. go down.

In the afternoon, a few foreigners passed by the inn and looked outside for a long time. A blond man walked into the inn and asked if there was any vacancy in Chinese.

The other people also followed in, and when they saw the two of them writing and engraving a seal, they all made exclamations of wonder.

Shi Shilei glanced outside curiously, but didn't see the sign that said there were vacancies. He guessed that they only walked in because they liked the inn.

Fu Qinruo spoke fluent English and told them that the air conditioner in the inn was being repaired for the past two days, and that there was no way to receive guests for the time being. If they wanted to stay, he could recommend them other good inns.

They looked at me and you, all showing disappointed expressions, so they had to leave regretfully.When they left, there were people who looked at Shi Shilei's writing reluctantly, as if they had never seen it before.Shi Shilei thought that this post was finished, so he took the paper from under the paperweight, rolled it up and handed it to that person.

"Really give it to me?" The other party couldn't believe it, and looked very surprised.

Shi Shilei smiled and nodded: "Welcome to play here."

This somewhat reduced their disappointment, and they all smiled and said goodbye to Fu Qinruo and the others, and went to find a place to live elsewhere.

Shi Shilei breathed into his hands again, sat down and thought about what to write next, turned around and found that Fu Qinruo was looking at him, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Fu Qinruo shook his head, sat down and continued carving seals.After a long time, he turned his head and said to Shi Shilei: "The previous sherry wine should be ready to drink, let's warm a pot and drink it."

Hearing the wine, Shi Shilei's eyes lit up, he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay!"

The charcoal fire prepared was left over from last year. It was damp during the rainy day, and instead of generating heat after lighting it in the house, black smoke came out, making both of them cough again and again.

Shi Shilei endured tears choked by the smoke, and used tongs to take out the smoking charcoal and throw it into the charcoal brazier.

After the two summed it up, they had to move the charcoal brazier and stove to the courtyard at the back door.

Fu Qinruo was sweeping snow in the yard, saw Shi Shilei squatting in front of the stove, coughing and crying, and accidentally smeared charcoal ashes on his face, making himself look like a little cat, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Shi Shilei finally managed to start the fire, and was so tired that he sat on the threshold panting for breath, and realized that he had wiped ashes on his face after wiping off the sweat.He quickly took out his phone, wiped his face on the mirror with the back of his hand for a long time, rolled his eyes unbearably, and said to Fu Qinruo, "I'll get the wine!"

Fu Qinruo nodded.

After he ran back to the house, Fu Qinruo piled up the swept snow on the side of the pier, and happened to see a river lantern floating from not far away, he couldn't help being surprised—the genius just went dark, I don't know who did it Hurry to make a wish.

Shi Shilei went back to the kitchen, found the can of sherry wine, opened the lid, and smelled the aroma of fruit wine wafting out, just smelling it made him feel dazed for a while.He found a spoon to scoop the wine into an earthen pot, and used chopsticks to pick out the pear pieces inside and put them in a bowl. After thinking for a while, he opened the chest of drawers and smiled at the dozen or so bottles of flower carvings displayed inside, happily Two pots were taken out.

I thought Fu Qinruo was still in the yard, but Shi Shilei didn't see him when he came out.

Shi Shilei wondered where he had gone, so he found two bamboo benches and put them next to the stove, and heated the wine on the charcoal fire.He waited, but still decided to go to Fu Qinruo.

If Fu Qin didn't go anywhere, he called at the counter.

Shi Shilei heard that he was speaking in tongues, perhaps he was from his family.

He paced over, took the square bloodstone from the printing bed and measured it, vaguely heard that Fu Qinruo was asking about his grandfather, he must be talking on the phone with his grandmother.Shi Shilei was originally smart and had a good language talent. He hadn't stayed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for long, and he had already learned a lot of dialects.He probably understood the meaning of Fu Qinruo's words, picked up the carving knife next to him, and scratched a few times on the printing bed.

"Let's write tonight!" Shi Shilei said as soon as Fu Qinruo hung up the phone.

Fu Qinruo was still holding the phone, thoughtful, lowered his head when he heard the words, and asked, "What are you writing?"

Shi Shilei held his face in his hands and thought for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "'If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as plain as expected. The neck is long and the neck is beautiful, and the quality is exposed. There is no fragrance, and the lead is beautiful.'"

I don't know what the origin of the flower carving in that cabinet is, when Fu Qinruo saw Shi Shilei take out the wine, his face turned pale for a moment.

"Can't you drink?" Shi Shilei asked seeing his hesitation.

He came back to his senses and shook his head: "Drink it. It's useless to keep it."

Shi Shilei looked at him for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, walked to the small bamboo chair and sat down, smiled and handed him one of the pots, while he picked up the other pot, lifted the lid and raised his head to drink Take a big gulp.

"Hmm..." He didn't expect the degree to be a bit high, and he took a bite into his throat, which made his whole face wrinkle up.

Fu Qinruo sat down next to him, saw him like this, and said: "Don't drink too fast, haven't you eaten yet?"

When he said this, Shi Shilei remembered that time when he drank a lot of wine on an empty stomach, then fell down in the front hall, and was sent to the hospital.He turned over the back of his hand to wipe the wine from his mouth, held the jug to warm his hands, and asked, "What shall we have for dinner?"

Fu Qinruo took a sip of wine, thought for a while and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Shi Shilei frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't think of anything he particularly wanted to eat.He took the bowl of pears that were placed on the stool, and ate a small piece with a small fork, while chewing, he said: "Actually, eating hot pot is the best on this kind of day." He paused, Shaking his head again, he denied, "It's better when it snows."

There are no ingredients left at home, and they haven't gone out, so it may be difficult to eat something hearty.

Just when they were worried, someone called Fu Qinruo's name outside.They turned their heads and saw that it was the proprietress of the inn next door, who walked in while talking, and said with a smile: "Hey! Warm up?"

"Sister Liu." Fu Qinruo got up quickly, put down the jug, and greeted her.

"Didn't I go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year? I took a lot of taro and sweet potatoes and shared some with you." Sister Liu said with a smile. Add medicine, it tastes very good."

Shi Shilei came out and saw that it was really a small basket of taro and sweet potatoes, and it seemed that they had been steamed.He smelled it, blinked his eyes in surprise and said, "It smells so good!"

"Hey!" Seeing that he liked it, Sister Liu smiled even more happily, so she put the basket in Fu Qinruo's hand, and then glanced behind him, "It will be even more fragrant if you heat it up on the fire. Since your brother If you like it so much, take it quickly."

Fu Qinruo smiled shyly and had no choice but to accept it: "Thank you so much."

"What's so polite about that? Didn't you help our family write Spring Festival couplets years ago!" Sister Liu rolled his eyes at him lightly, smiled again, and said triumphantly, "You don't know, Aunt Li and her family came to visit I saw it when I was young, and I was so envious! I secretly blamed you for writing such a good handwriting, and I didn’t show it. I only wrote it for our family.”

Fu Qinruo was surprised, and said, "Then why didn't you tell me later? It doesn't take time to write couplets."

Sister Liu thought about it for a while, and clapped her hands and said, "You were not there that night, just the night of the first day of the new year."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo was startled, smiled a bit greenly, and nodded slightly.

Shi Shilei remembered what happened that day. He stood on tiptoe beside Fu Qinruo, and suddenly said, "Sister Liu, my brother made some sherry wine a few days ago, and we couldn't finish it. Take some back!"

Sister Liu was taken aback, waved her hands, and smiled embarrassingly. She hurriedly declined and said, "How can this be done? I sent something here, so how can there be any reason to take it back?"

"It's okay!" Shi Shilei looked at Fu Qinruo, and when he saw him nodding, he walked into the kitchen with a smile, and his voice came from inside, "We are all neighbors! I'll take it for you, and give some to Li Auntie and the others, this way they won't blame Brother Qin Ruo for not writing couplets for them!"

Hearing this, she laughed from ear to ear, and said to Fu Qinruo: "Is this younger brother of yours a cousin or a cousin? You are so clever! Many children of his age are unwilling to say anything when they see us adults now. How about. Graduated from high school?"

"He's in college, in Hangzhou." Fu Qinruo replied politely.

"Going to college at such a young age?" Sister Liu was very surprised. Seeing Shi Shilei coming out holding two small jars, she refused politely in a hurry, and said to Fu Qinruo, "This is just like you, really As expected of a family, there are some bright and bright children! ——Oh, I really don’t want it.”

Shi Shilei had already gone outside, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, Sister Liu, it's not something expensive. I'll drop by your place too. Let's go!"

"Tsk tsk, this kid is real!" Sister Liu laughed along, and turned to Fu Qinruo, "Then I'll go back first. Goodbye."

Fu Qinruo sent her to the door and saw Shi Shilei talking to her six-year-old daughter at the door, so he smiled and said goodbye to Sister Liu: "Thank you for the taro and sweet potatoes."

Shi Shilei was just obedient and smart in front of Sister Liu, but how did he know who Aunt Li was?Nai He has already brought out a jar of sherry wine, if he takes it back, it will be hard to say when he will really see Aunt Li.

He chatted with them for a while at Sister Liu's house, and after going out, he called Fu Qinruo and asked Aunt Li which street and which lane she lived in.After Fu Qinruo told him, he asked, "How many taro do you want?"

"I want... two sweet potatoes, but no taro." Shi Shilei made a decision after thinking about it.A gust of cold wind blew, shaking the red lanterns on the street. He shrank his neck and muttered: "It's windy, I forgot to wear my scarf."

"Well, come back early." Fu Qinruo said.

According to the house number pointed by Fu Qinruo, Shi Shilei found Aunt Li's house.Unexpectedly, the male owner of this house is the old man Feng whom he met that day.Old man Feng still remembered Shi Shilei, and he was very pleasantly surprised to hear that he had brought sherry wine.

"It turns out that Xiaofu has such a beautiful younger brother! Oh, the family is really different, they are all so beautiful!" Aunt Li laughed when she heard that he was apologizing for the couplet. How can you take it seriously? You even sent this here specially, really!"

Shi Shilei put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Isn't it all because of this. This sherry wine is really delicious, I even ate it just now!"

Holding the sherry wine he brought in her hand, Aunt Li feigned anger and said, "It's not good for children to drink alcohol. Look at the aroma, it's quite strong?"

"He's also a college student, so what's the point of drinking a little wine?" Old man Feng laughed at his wife, and said with a smile, "It looks like he's already drunk a lot, right?"

Shi Shilei smiled shyly, and compared with her little finger: "It's just a little bit."

Aunt Li sniffed him, sighed and said, "Yo, it's true. He looks so good, but he doesn't learn anything good." The words were completely fond of him, and there was no real blame at all.

Speaking of later, Aunt Li was a little worried about Shi Shilei going home alone. It happened that old man Feng wanted to send the repaired boat back to an inn, so he let Shi Shilei go back by boat.

Shi Shilei wanted to refuse, but he had never been on a black awning boat before. Thinking that it was getting late and the wind was blowing, he had to go back earlier, so he nodded and said embarrassedly: "It's really troublesome."

The old couple looked at each other, and Aunt Li smiled and said, "You really look like Xiaofu."

After getting on the boat, Shi Shilei just sat firmly, then got up and waved goodbye to Aunt Li.Aunt Li was afraid that he was drunk, so she asked him to sit down and said to her husband, "Come back early."

Hearing these words, Shi Shilei sat down on the bow of the boat and smiled at Old Man Feng who was swaying the oar.

The black-covered boat moved along the river, and the red lantern on the bow was just replaced. The red color shone on the old man's face, but he looked more like a drunk person.Looking at the leisurely tourists on both sides of the strait and the singing from the bar, Shi Shilei felt dizzy and a little sleepy.

When the boat was rowing into the bridge hole, he rubbed his eyes, and vaguely heard the lyrics of Yueju opera floating in the distance, so he couldn't help cheering up and looking around.

"What are you looking for?" Old Man Feng asked with a smile.

Shi Shilei had already seen the song stage, and said in surprise: "There is an opera singing over there!"

"That's right, you don't know? The fanciers in the town can sing it from time to time, and there are a few who are engaged in Yue opera." He listened for a while, "This is singing "Lu You and Tang Wan", right?"

"East wind evil
