Spring is coming

The cicadas were neighing, the sun was blinding, and they were playing and doing like crazy all summer long.

There are few such indulgent moments in life. Attachment and love have turned into the most simple and primitive desires of human beings, which are hugs, kisses and countless scenes.

The gauze curtain blocks the bright west sun in the afternoon, the air conditioner is cool and breezy, and a bunch of bright yellow lilies on the desk, the faint fragrance touches the tip of the nose from time to time.

Chun Xin fell asleep lying on the pillow, the pink trousers with a white background propped up a full arc, his hair covered his entire back, one leg was straight, the other leg was bent, his complexion was pink and white, every undulating line All are just right, and the vision is very beautiful.Fingertips traced a protruding spine in her lower back, Yuuri staggered her eyes, raised her hand and pulled Xia Liang's cover, and then gently shook her to wake her up.

"Don't sleep, you can't sleep at night after sleeping for a long time."

In the afternoon, they will go out to meet two people. Although the two people must no longer know them, they still have to meet.

Chun Xin stretched his waist and got up, woke up for half a minute, blinked, and with a smirk on his face, leaned towards Xueli's shoulder, "You peeked at me and even touched me, didn't you?"

"What? No way." Xueli raised her eyebrows, "I'm legal." Now she has a reason, everything is legal, as long as it is legal, she will do anything.

"You know it's legal." She muttered, but she also had nothing to say. She opened the cabinet door and found a skirt to put on, went to the refrigerator to get two ice creams, put on her sandals and went out in the snow.

After taking the subway for more than ten stops, across most of the city, they arrived at their destination, the shanty town in the south of the city.

The decades-old camphor trees in the old street are very interesting, and it is cool under the tree. There are small stalls along the street, selling potato fried skewers, pineapple and watermelon, jelly powder and ice powder.

Chun Xin led Xueli into the alley with a bunch of fried chicken fillets in her mouth. She was very familiar with this place, and when she entered the depths of the alley, she made several turns and turns, and when she turned to the road, she heard a woman swearing.

"Tang Yichen, are you cheap!"

The man being scolded leaned on the telephone pole and impatiently picked his ears, "Zhang Shufen, do you have any new words?"

"Where did the noodles I put on the table by the door go?" Zhang Shufen asked as she tickled over with a wet mop, pointing at his nose.

Tang Yichen burped, "Didn't you deliberately put it at the door for me to eat? Next time, put less soy sauce, it's too salty."

Zhang Shufen didn't say a word, the wet mop covered in black mud hit his pants directly, and the two chased and beat him for half a street.

People beating children on the street, couples quarreling, two-dollar stores yelling from loudspeakers, and people selling vegetables and fruits are still as lively as before.

Chun Xin and Xueli stood in front of Zhang Shufen's tattoo shop. The floor was made of broken tiles, and beside it was a square cement pool specially used for rinsing mops and washing clothes.

Chun Xin recalled that she always stood here and washed her feet, dragging the black footprints on the tiles over and over again on rainy days, while Zhang Shufen was sitting in the room watching Korean dramas, crying with snot and tears.

In fact, she was only in her thirties. Chunxin knew that she was married, but the couple always fought. Once a man came back from drinking outside, passed out drunk and slept at the door all night. When he woke up in the morning, he scolded Zhang Shufen for not helping him into the house. , Zhang Shufen said why don't you end up and Liu Yuexue freezes you to death...

In short, she is alone now, and occasionally misses her ex-husband's cooking skills, and the noodles she cooks are often stolen.

Tang Yichen ran away, and now Zhang Shufen came back panting with a mop, looked up at them, and asked casually, "Tattoos."

Chun Xin shook his head, Zhang Shufen didn't even look at them, and said to herself: "I can't get tattooed, I won't get tattooed anymore."

Chun Xin chased him to the glass door which was half covered with mud spots and dust, and asked with his head, "Why didn't you get tattooed?"

Zhang Shufen pulled out a disposable cup to drink water, and poked the door with her thumb.Xueli turned his head to look, and there was a large "demolition" sprayed with red paint on the concrete wall.

"I won't be doing business anymore. The machines will be sold tomorrow, so you can go to another place to cook." Zhang Shufen went into the kitchen to cook the noodles again, and Chun Xin followed her in small steps, "What about you?"

"Wait for the demolition payment." Zhang Shufen ordered boiled noodles with liquefied petroleum gas, and was a little puzzled as to why she would pick up on strangers.

Chun Xin said, "Throw it out and cook it again, it won't taste good."

Zhang Shufen was squeezed out of the kitchen by her, and she couldn't figure out why two customers suddenly came to the store, one wanted to cook noodles for her, and the other sat on the sofa looking through albums, as leisurely as her own home, now these young people It's too unrecognizable.

Zhang Shufen is actually a very difficult person to get along with, her mouth is so strong that she can tell people to death, but she feels that she is very good-tempered and in a good mood today. For example, when Tang Yichen stole noodles just now, she just beat him with a mop. How to scold him, spare eighteen generations of his ancestors.

Sitting on the high stool in front of the counter, Zhang Shufen said: "When I came here in the morning, I could hear magpies all the way, but I couldn't see where the magpies were. The trees were too dense. my home."

Then she thought again, two strangers came to the house to cook noodles for her, is that a good thing?Where are the wild girls, she should throw them out.

Xueli put down the album in his hand, looked up and said, "It would be great if those trees could be kept. They have grown for many years, and if they are not cut down, they can save a lot of money for greening."

Zhang Shufen couldn't understand what she was talking about, but she still nodded in agreement, and answered in a strange manner, "It should not be cut down, it is the main road leading to the city, the road is wide enough, and it can be repaired."

"That's pretty good," said Shirley.

Zhang Shufen said hello, do I know you?You're talking homely to me here.

In the kitchen, Chun Xin came out with a noodle bowl and placed it on the table behind the counter. Zhang Shufen usually likes to sit here and eat while watching TV.

"There are also fried eggs!" She pulled a chair and sat down, picked up a chopstick, "Not bad!"

Chun Xin smiled shyly, "It's okay." I haven't cooked for many, many years.

When I was a child, my grandma never asked her to cook at home. Cooking is my grandfather's business. The dishes he cooks are delicious, but salty.But grandma will let her watch and let her keep her eyes open to learn how to cut which dishes, what dishes to fry and what seasonings to prepare.

Grandpa would chant in a very soft voice, chanting over and over again, saying that the oil must be boiled, the vegetables must be cooked, and how hot the second meal is so that there will be no diarrhea...

Looking at it like this for several years, every step is engraved in my heart, and when it comes to doing it, my hands and feet will not be messed up.

Cooking a bowl of noodles reminded Chun Xin of many past events.

I remembered what grandma said, learn more to support yourself.

She has long since reconciled with the past.

The noodles are white water noodles, just an egg, a few vegetable leaves, and chopped green onions.Chun Xin knew that she had a bad stomach, although her temper was hot, her diet was very light.

Although Zhang Shufen is not often thought of, Chun Xin still remembers many things about her.

Chun Xin leaned against the counter and asked her, "The store is no longer open, what are you going to do in the future?"

Zhang Shufen said in her heart that it's none of your business, but she still didn't mean it, "Go to the beach with my mother and buy a house to live in, do some small business, find a handsome guy, and feed him oysters every day."

Chun Xin laughed, "That's pretty good."

"Okay, of course, I'm fucking over the top..."

Their conversation is inexplicable and natural.

When Zhang Shufen raised her head from the noodle bowl, there was no one in the room, they only left a bouquet of flowers.She went out to look around with the flowers in her arms, but there were no shadows in front or behind.

The flowers dropped by the 'guests' can only be placed on the counter, I don't know if they will come back to pick them up.Zhang Shufen continued to eat noodles, and Du Minjunxi from the stars had been played hundreds of times on the computer.

As she was eating, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind, is it like in Liaozhai, the little fox she saved in her previous life came to repay her kindness?It was good to see her, so I said hello and left without saying anything else.

But when did she save such a little fox?I can't remember, probably because the little fox is not the poor rain-drenched little fox from before.

It grew up, grew fat, and couldn't recognize it. She brought a flower and put it at the door, and walked around her house. She just thought it was another little fox passing by.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Zhang Shufen hurriedly "bah, bah, bah," stood up and said goodbye to Guan Erye who was on the counter, "Go away!"

After paying homage to Second Master Guan, Zhang Shufen picked up the flowers sent by the little fox and saw that they were seventeen carnations.

In fact, they didn't go far, they were just next door, chatting with Tang Yichen as usual.

Chun Xin asked him, "Are you still accepting disciples?"

Looking over with eyes narrowed by Yan Xun, Tang Yichen asked her with trembling hands, "You?"

Chun Xin said "hmm", "Are you still running a shop?"

Tang Yichen was still struggling, with two big arms, his hands were shaking like Parkinson's, he stamped out the cigarette butts with the soles of his shoes, and he still had that very flat face, "Why should I accept you?"

How much older is he than Chun Xin, 24?It was still 26, Chun Xin couldn't remember clearly, she didn't have much contact with him, she only knew that he came out to work very early, and entered the industry during the [-]th Five-Year Plan.

Chun Xin also knew that he had some money and wanted to open a shop, but he couldn't find a suitable person, and the city he lived in before could no longer accommodate him.

Zhang Shufen said that it was Tang Yichen who fell in love with her master, a male master, but the master had a family.

Zhang Shufen's original words are: "The family regards him as a son, and he regards the master as his wife. Isn't that nonsense? He doesn't like so many men on the street. He has to like the master. His children are already grown up. Can you agree?" ? So he was kicked out. The master is very prestigious in the local area, but the people in the circle over there reject him, so he has no choice but to come to Nanzhou."

At that time Chun Xin felt that Tang Yichen was very similar to her, and only after hearing about Tang Yichen did she know that it turned out that one should not like anyone casually, she thought it was wrong.

But liking is uncontrollable, what should I do if I already like it?They can only run.

Tang Yichen opened the shop next door to Zhang Shufen's, and he didn't want to steal her business. They do completely different things, and there is no competition at all. He just wanted to steal her business.

He is a smart man with great foresight. He knows that his hands and eyes are bad, and he has no children. He has to find a successor quickly so that he can take care of him in the future.

"But now there is no one with you." Chun Xin said.

She was not yet sixteen, and Tang Yichen was here. Before she went home, Zhang Shufen probably had already told him, "I'll give you Chunxin", and they secretly traded her.

Now that she is nineteen, Tang Yichen is still here, just waiting for her.

It was too unjust to let his pigeon go. Now that she is back, she made him wait a little longer, hoping he would not be angry.

Chun Xin was arguing with Tang Yichen, the two of them talked back and forth for half an hour, Xueli leaned aside to watch.Xueli will not interfere with anything she can solve, including continuing to learn tattoos, which is something she has to learn by herself. When she said she wanted to come back and have a look, Xueli arranged a time to bring her here.

She makes up her own mind about what to say and what to do, and she has always had an idea.

Chun Xin showed him some pictures and exercises captured on his mobile phone, "You accept me, you are taking a big deal, I am awesome, really, I can do it."

Tang Yichen refused at first, but fell silent after seeing the painting, and asked after a while, "Have you studied it?" He is Ye Luzi, and envied her for being a regular soldier.

Chun Xin said, "I have learned it since elementary school."

Tang Yichen wanted to smoke, but felt that it was not good to smoke in front of girls, so he kept touching his lips, "Then you are in good condition, so you don't have to do this. According to you, you are a college student, and school will start soon, study hard that is."

He didn't know that Chunxin's conditions were not good before, and she came here specially to be his apprentice.

The feng shui took turns, the last time it was Tang Yichen who begged her to accept her as an apprentice, now it was Chunxin who begged him.

"Let me tell you, if you lose me, you will lose everything. The next one like me has not yet been born, so think about it!"

He looked crazy, and finally exchanged phone calls with her, "Don't let me go!"

Chun Xin said, "This time I will definitely not let him go."

He raised his eyebrows, "I knew you before? Why don't I remember it?"

Chun Xin automatically filtered it, "The location of the store has been selected, I will spare time to draw you a huge oil painting, what do you want?"

Things that hadn't been implemented were suddenly half done, the hanging paintings were arranged, Tang Yichen's hands didn't shake anymore, happiness came so suddenly, he was about to have a concubine!

"Do whatever you want, who knows if you are real or not, don't come here to tease me when you have nothing to do." Having said that, he became happy when he saw it.

Starting tomorrow, the residents here will officially move out, and the place will be surrounded by blue pressed steel plates immediately. Excavators will bulldoze all the messy low houses, and dig out big pits one by one, laying foundations in the pits , build a building.

Fortunately, the day before he left here, Tang Yichen had an apprentice, and the apprentice would give him an oil painting to celebrate the opening of the new store.

"I can also paint oil paintings."

Tang Yichen was so happy that his hands shook again, "Then I'll treat you to dinner." He felt that he was sick, and he hadn't said anything about his horoscope. He was trying to deceive others.

The two little girls ran into his shop and chattered about something, cheating him out of a meal.

Chun Xin cheered, "Then eat the grilled fish! I know where the grilled fish is delicious, it's on the street outside, it should be put up now!"

Chun Xin has been thinking about the grilled fish on the street for a long time, just smelling it makes her almost hungry, she was reluctant to eat it before, but now she is being treated, she is so happy!

Tang Yichen thought to himself, he really came to lie to him, and he has arranged everything for him!But his voice also sounded very happy, with a wave of his arm, "Eat! There is plenty of money."

Chunxin went to call Zhang Shufen, and when she went, she was still holding flowers in the store in a daze, Zhang Shufen was also confused when she heard that she was Tang Yichen's new apprentice, and sat down with them on the road for some reason. Under the red shed next to it, but the food and wine were quickly put on the table, and everyone ate and drank in one go, without thinking about the mess.

Everywhere is being demolished. Excavators are bulldozing old houses one after another, burying the past. Of course, this is not the end. High-rise buildings will spring up on the original site.

Everyone has a bright future.

Saying goodbye after dinner, there were not many people on the subway on the return trip, Chun Xin leaned on Xueli's shoulder with a blushing face, she was never so happy on the day she received the admission notice, she had accomplished a major event in her life.

"I'm so happy." She looked at herself and the snow reflected in the window of the car, and suddenly burst into tears, "I'm so happy."

Xueli took out a tissue from her bag, held her face, kissed her eyelashes lightly, Chunxin sniffed, "I shouldn't cry."

"Cry if you want." Xueli said, "These are tears of joy."

"I'm going to have my own business, and I can continue to do what I like. Are you happy for me?"

Xueli said softly, "Of course, I will support all your choices."

Whether in the past or now, this point in Xueli has never changed, including the time when Chunxin left home.

Countless times, Xueli told her very firmly: "I believe in you and will always support you unconditionally. I believe you must have a reason to do that."

Chun Xin stared at her deeply, like a deep dark well reflecting the moon, "I really love you very much."

Xueli said: "Me too, I love you very much."

The author has something to say:

——I also love you very much. Seeing that everyone likes Chun Xin so much, I am more motivated to code words.
