Taking advantage of the good weather these days, Qu Jingshen's uncle said that he would spread out the wet pile of wheat straw to dry.Shirtless, Jing Ze patiently spread the straw under the sun with a rake.

Qu Jing squatted in the yard to tease Rhubarb, and Rhubarb had a great time, sticking out her tongue to lick Qu Jingshen's face.

Jing Ze frowned: "Rabbit, please stay away from it!"

Qu Jingshen stood up and clapped her hands: "Stingy."

Jingze kept humming while working: "This is my right!..."

Qu Jing squinted deeply to look at the rising sun, "Go and make lunch, you...do it."

Jing Ze lowered his head and muttered that Xiao Bai called yesterday and asked when they would go back.Jing Ze asked Qu Jingshen many times, but the other party didn't say a word.

As soon as Qu Jingshen entered the kitchen, his uncle hurriedly followed him.Qu Jingshen lit the fire and called him: "Uncle."

Qu Jingshen's uncle patted his head, and moved a small stool to sit beside him.

Qu Jing lit the fire deeply and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

His uncle lit a dry cigarette, smoked a few puffs, and said, "Ah Shen, are you going back to the city these few days? That kid, did you come here specially for you?"

Qu Jingshen didn't deny it, and continued to fill the pot with firewood.But his uncle stopped the work in his hands: "If you want to go back, you can go back. Uncle knows that there is not as much room for development in the countryside as in the city. Your parents left early, and uncle can't help you in many places."

Qu Jing quickly shook her head: "No, Uncle...you treat me very well."

His uncle sighed, and said, "I'll give you the key to your house. A few years ago, you were young, but now you have graduated and become an adult, so I should leave it to you. I heard from the villagers that the key to your house in the first year of this year It’s going to be demolished, it’s said to be re-zoning the house.”

After listening deeply, Qu Jing said, "I don't understand this matter, Uncle, you have to take care of it."

His uncle didn't speak any more, he turned his head and left.

After Jingze finished his work, he went into the kitchen to look for Qu Jingshen: "Rabbit, your uncle won't find out what happened to us, right? Look at his heavy face, hey... don't push me, I'm sweating all over."

Qu Jingshen said, "Calm down."

Jing Ze picked up Qu Jingshen's cold water, drank it and said, "What about you? But it's okay, at worst, I'll take you far away."

The corner of Qu Jingshen's mouth twitched, "It means my old house, and my uncle wants to give me the key."

Jing Ze smiled: "Dowry?"

Qu Jing was too lazy to talk to him, and went to wash rice and cook soup.

Jing Ze chased him and asked, "Aren't old houses haunted? We don't want them."

Qu Jing nodded deeply: "Well, it's useless to ask."

Jing Ze leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice: "You have to take me to see it, and you will be a son-in-law to meet your mother-in-law."

The water scoop in Qu Jingshen's hand slipped, and Jingze's face was filled with water, whether it was intentional or unintentional.

During lunch, Qu Jingshen's uncle brought up the matter again, and forced the key into Qu Jingshen's hand: "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, go and have a look. It just rained, and the roof over there should be repaired."

Qu Jingshen didn't want to forcefully return it, so she had to put away the key.After eating the leftovers at noon, Qu Jing asked Jing Ze to pour it for the chickens and ducks.But Qu Jingshen took a handful of grass herself and leaned into the shed made of wood and grass.

After Jingze completed the task, he immediately entered the shed, and then his eyes lit up: "Damn it... your uncle's house still has rabbits! Come, come, let me feed me..."

Jing Ze snatched a handful of grass from Qu Jingshen's hand, and randomly stuffed it into the cage.Qu Jing frowned deeply: "Slow down, I'm scared of you."

Jing Ze opened the cage roughly, caught a hapless gray rabbit and held it in his hand to play with.

Qu Jingshen: "..."

Jing Ze poked Gray Rabbit's belly: "Oh, you still have a lot of meat on your body." He turned to Qu Jingshen: "Rabbit, don't you all like to roast this thing in the countryside, why don't you catch one? "

Qu Jingshen immediately snatched the gray rabbit back and stuffed it into the cage, then pushed Jingze to go out: "Take you to my childhood home."

Jing Ze looked back at the unlucky rabbit step by step, and weighed it in his heart, it would be more valuable to visit the place where his rabbit lived when he was a child.

Qu Jingshen was not easy to speak, so she brought a notebook with her when she went.Jing Ze thought it was too hot, so he was wearing the big underpants that Qu Jingshen's uncle had bought.Jing Ze followed Qu Jingshen with a broom and other cleaning tools. He posed towards Qu Jingshen and asked triumphantly, "Rabbit, do I look like a farmer now?"

Jing Ze's mix-and-match style has a very rustic flavor, Qu Jing took a deep look and nodded: "It looks like a panic picker."

Jingze wasn't disappointed at all, he leaned up and said with a stern face, "How about I just pick you up?"

Qu Jingshen said, "Poor."

As the road got narrower and narrower, Qu Jingshen led Jing Ze into a long and narrow alley.Jing Ze suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the earthen walls on both sides of the road with a little surprise, and sighed, "I've seen this thing on TV."

Qu Jingshen said: "It's been many years, and it's been damaged by the rain."

Jing Ze took a few quick steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qu Jingshen, Qu Jingshen turned to look at him: "Huh?"

Jing Ze touched his face and said, "No, I just feel sorry for you."

Qu Jingshen took out the key and opened the door. Except for more water and fallen leaves, the yard was the same as it was a few days ago.

Jing Zedong touched around and looked around, and asked Qu Jingshen, "Rabbit, can the jujube tree really bear dates?"

Qu Jingshen said: "Yes, very sweet."

At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shone lazily on half of the wall, and Jingze squatted by the well and lit a cigarette.Qu Jing bowed deeply and picked up the dead branches on the ground and threw them aside. Jing Ze extinguished the cigarette and said, "Rabbit, don't move, I'll come."

The yard is so small that you can walk around it in a few minutes.Qu Jingshen walked over and pushed the door of the main room open, just like she came a few days ago.

Jing Ze followed at this moment, put his arms around his waist and looked in from behind, all he could see was black, burnt wood.

Qu Jing pointed to the door of the room less than two meters away, and said to Jing Ze, "I lived there with my younger brother when I was young."

Jing Ze looked towards the place Qu Jing was pointing at, and the white paper pasted on the door was rotten, and it was still stained with black ashes from the fire.There are many invisible small black holes on the wooden door, which are the marks left by moths for many years.

Jing Ze walked over and pushed, and the door opened in response to the sound, and fell sideways crookedly.It was very narrow inside, and two beds were placed against the wall, probably the beds were still intact before the fire spread here.But it was already covered with dust, and even the legs of the bed were eaten away by mice.

Qu Jing pointed to the bed by the window: "This is mine, that is my brother's."

Jing Ze looked at the cramped environment and asked in a low voice, "Can you sleep?"

Qu Jingshen said: "Yes, when I was young, I was thin and didn't take up much space."

Jing Ze snorted his hair distressedly, "Baby, I will make money to buy you a house in the future, so you can pretend to be whatever you want."

Qu Jingshen took out her notebook and wrote: "When I was a child, I fell from the top. Maybe I didn't sleep well and rolled and fell. My brother was playful when he was a child, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he played on my bed."

Jing Ze said: "Although it sounds pretty good, but you must not feel uncomfortable, it's all over, be obedient."

Qu Jingshen said: "It's not uncomfortable, I just miss them."

Jing Ze couldn't bear it any longer, and kissed Qu Jingshen deeply on the mouth.Qu Jingshen opened up the memories and showed him bit by bit, even if she was as inconspicuous as Jing Ze, she knew the meaning of it, and she was determined to live with him.

Qu Jing responded to the kiss seriously, with the sunlight passing by the corners of his brows, her heart was both happy and sad at the moment.Probably this is the mood when you fall in love with someone, you can see the warm sunshine, but also enjoy the dark shadows cast by the sun.

After the kiss was over, Jing Ze hugged his waist tightly: "If you want to come back in the future, then I will always accompany you back."

Qu Jingshen said, "Thank you."

Jing Ze scratched his chin: "Honey, be happy."

Qu Jing smiled lightly, then lowered her head and started to clean the room.

In fact, there is nothing to clean in the old house, except to straighten things, just to sweep the dust.

Jing Ze had arranged the crooked tables and chairs in the main room, and just as he bent down to sweep away the dust accumulated in the corner, he suddenly saw a snake.

Jing Ze was startled, and called Qu Jingshen: "Rabbit, there are snakes here!"

Qu Jingshen walked over unhurriedly and said, "House snake."

Jing Ze said: "Good guy, he's quite big, he surprised me!"

Qu Jingshen turned around and went outside the door to find a branch, while Jing Ze squatted there and continued to watch.The snake is also afraid of people, so it crawls towards the hidden place along the corner of the wall.Jing Ze stared at it, the snake slipped through the crack in the wall, Jing Ze saw something dropped from behind the snake's tail.

After the snake had crawled away, Jing Ze reached out to pick up the thing and look at it.It turned out to be a black and white photo, the corner of the photo was worn out, and the photo was covered with dust.

Qu Jingshen came in with a branch, and asked Jingze, "Where's the snake?"

Jing Ze said: "Let's run away, didn't you just say it was a house snake, let it live here, and it can help you look after the house."

Qu Jingshen said, "Aren't you afraid?" He said and threw the branch out of the door. It is very common to see snakes in mud houses like the countryside.

Jing Ze said: "I'm afraid of my hair! I haven't seen this thing in places other than the zoo for many years. It's surprising, stupid."

Jing Ze raised the photo in his hand: "I picked it up just now, and it shows you and your brother?"

Qu Jing squatted down next to him and took it over to take a closer look: "Where did you find it? I thought it was burnt."

Jing Ze pointed to the doll in the photo: "The one on the left is you, right? You're so skinny, like a monkey."

Qu Jingshen took the notebook and wrote: "This was when I was six years old, and my younger brother was only three years old. Someone came to the village to take a photo, and he asked for two catties of wheat in exchange for a photo."

Jing Ze said: "The filming is really ugly."

Qu Jing smiled deeply: "It's not good-looking in the first place."

Jing Ze twisted his mouth: "Who allows you to say that you are ugly?"

The corner of Qu Jingshen's mouth twitched, Jing Ze took back the photo again, looked at it twice and put it in his pocket.

The two tidied up the yard again, and Jingze said, "I'll accompany you to pick dates in August next year."

Qu Jingshen said: "The Sophora japonica cake is also delicious."

Jing Ze said: "Then come in March and April next year, anyway, the transportation is convenient now."

Qu Jingshen said: "I really don't want to go back to such a big city."

Jing Ze had a cheeky face: "No matter how big the city is, there's still me, here... hold your hand."

Qu Jing held his hand deeply, but he never told Jing Ze that he had no feelings for the girl.

It was already evening when the two locked the door and left, Qu Jingshen stood at the gate very reluctantly.Jingze picked a branch from the ground and wrote on the earth wall: "On X, X, X, X X, Lord Jing came here for a visit." Then he drew a rabbit in the signature place.

On the way back, Jing Ze asked Qu Jingshen, "Why haven't you mentioned your parents' graves?"

Qu Jingshen said: "I'm back this time, I haven't gone yet."

Jing Ze asked, "Why?"

Qu Jingshen said: "I don't want to go, it's uncomfortable."

The Qingming Festival has passed, and the grass growing on his parents' graves does not know whether his uncle has helped clean it up.I haven't been back in two years, I really should go and see it.Many years ago, it was the same road and the same door. His mother took him by the hand from the entrance of the alley to the end of the alley, and then opened the door to enter the house.The pressurized well squeaked and squeaked for so many years.In these years, he met not many people and experienced not many things, and they all disappeared like a cloud.

The dirt walls are mottled with uneven sunlight, just like the sunset in the evening, with flickering light streaks emerging from the gloom.Who is not like this, when I was in my 20s, I don't know who this life is for.

Qu Jingshen took the initiative to grab Jing Ze's hand, and said, "I'm stubborn."

Jing Ze took his hand and walked backwards. "I liked you before, but now, now I love you."

Jing Ze asked again: "Baby, do you know what love is?"

Qu Jing shook her head like a rattle.The long alley had already been walked, and he looked back, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.
