【Lou Cheng】 How easy is another day

Early autumn

When Minglou came out of the Luxembourg Gardens after today's run, he saw someone selling chestnuts at the north gate.

At the dinner table a few days ago, Mingtai was still complaining that it had been a long time since he had cooked chestnuts with sweet-scented osmanthus at home. Minglou planned to take him to Ledoyen for a weekend to eat roasted pigeon with chestnuts, plus Montblanc or He simply wanted candied chestnuts to relieve his sudden nostalgia, but what he didn't expect was that when he saw the trolley pushing roasted chestnuts, he couldn't move himself, so he simply went to sell all the unsold chestnuts. bought it.

Parisians eat chestnuts according to the paper package, and there are four in a corner of the paper package, at most eight. The peddler rarely sees such a wealthy customer, and originally wanted to pack eight for him, but Minglou didn’t want it, so he just packed it. After filling up a large paper bag, holding it in his arms, the steaming heat suddenly engulfed the scenery in front of him.

He carried the chestnuts and walked towards home, and within a few steps, he bumped into Mingcheng—the other person was in a hurry, but when he saw Minglou, he stopped immediately, walked over with a smile and said, "... …When I was in Shakespeare, I heard people say that there are chestnut sellers in front of Luxembourg, so I wanted to rush over to buy some, so as to save our young master from reading again. Fortunately, you bought so many chestnuts at once. Didn’t you buy all the chestnuts from others?”

Seeing the slight sweat on the tip of his nose, Minglou smiled slightly and said, "I didn't bring any change when I came out for a run, and he couldn't find it, so I just bought it all."

"Run here directly from the office? Will you go back later?"

"I planned to go back, but I didn't bring anything with me. But now it's like this, let's go back directly."

But Mingcheng found that they were not heading home at all—seeing Minglou's leading posture, they were heading in the direction of the park again.

Mingcheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, but Minglou just asked him, "Did you buy any interesting books?"

"Some time ago, I heard that the third book of Thomas Mann's "Joseph and His Brothers" was finished, so I wanted to see if it was available in the bookstore."

"bought?"

"No. It's not that fast. I heard it will be at the end of the year. But I found the first edition of the book I've always wanted in a bookstore, and the price is good, so I bought it."

Although Minglou can read German, he has never had much interest in German novels. Unlike Mingcheng, he can read Polish, Italian, and Russian novels with relish as long as he wants to.

Speaking of Shu Mingcheng's eyes are always bright with joy, and he even took out the books he just put in his bag out of his bag to show Minglou.Minglou glanced at the title and author, saw that it was in German again, and asked casually, "Is this the author who wrote Demian?"

"Yeah." Speaking of this, Mingcheng suddenly stopped, "...Isn't this the way home? It's a long way around."

"Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Mingcheng was startled: "Huh?"

Minglou smiled again: "If you're not in a hurry, go back later. This kid from Mingtai has been playing like crazy lately, and he won't go home until dark. It's a pity that the chestnuts are cold without waiting for him."

Hearing what he said, Mingcheng's eyes flickered: "Sir, during the semester, there are many students in the park."

Minglou glanced at Mingcheng, and said lightly, "Haven't you already graduated? Besides, when you were still a student, you never took a class in our department."

Mingcheng feigned a cough to hide his smile at this time, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the path in the park at this time, he quickly shook hands, with a peaceful mind, he took half a day off and went on a date.

They crossed the Medici fountain and walked to the east side of the park to find a grassy area behind the bushes.On the way, I actually met a student from Minglou. Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, but Minglou was very calm. He greeted the student with a smile, and stopped to chat for a few words before saying goodbye politely.

They were impromptu, with no blankets or tablecloths.Fortunately, it hasn't rained in Paris this week, and I don't feel wet sitting on the lawn.After sitting down, Mingcheng took off his scarf, and Minglou put the still steaming chestnuts and paper bags on the ground, picked up a few big ones and threw them to Mingcheng: "Don't tell me, I've been in Paris for so many years, and I've been in Paris for so many years. I didn't think of eating chestnuts. The little thing just mentioned it casually, and I was actually hungry."

"Forget the chestnuts, you can buy them anyway. If he wants to eat sugar porridge on a whim, it depends on you."

Minglou admitted his original plan.Mingcheng laughed straight after hearing this: "If this is the case, even if you buy ten more bags of chestnuts, it will still be economical."

Minglou also laughed, and complained after laughing: "It's still not sweet enough. It's not as good as the chestnuts at home."

Mingcheng knew that Minglou was not as particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation as he had shown to the world. When things arose, the two of them could cope with it by eating whatever they wanted at home for a few days and nights.But that didn't stop me from joking with him at this moment.Mingcheng peeled a chestnut and handed it to Minglou: "Eldest young master, I'm in a foreign country, please take care of me."

But Minglou didn't pick it up at first, Mingcheng thought it was strange, and passed it closer, and then Minglou took it, and scratched Mingcheng's palm intentionally or unintentionally, causing Mingcheng's back to tremble. Holding a loaded gun without shaking hands, even a small chestnut is about to be thrown out.

He couldn't help staring at Minglou.Comparing the shape of his mouth, he said "in broad daylight", who knew that Minglou smiled at him, leaned over to kiss the hand he hadn't had time to withdraw, traced the tip of his tongue along the base of his fingers, and began to suck Hanzhen very lightly. With trembling fingertips, he sat down and gave him four words: murder and set fire.

Then he ate the chestnuts that Mingcheng handed over.

Fortunately, it was approaching dusk at this time, and it was the time for dinner after get off work. There were not many people wandering around in the park, and Minglou moved quickly, but his attitude was extremely calm, so he avoided the risk of being looked at.But no matter whether he was seen or not, Mingcheng's face was still flushed instantly, and he withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded. Chestnut shells were thrown towards Minglou.

Naturally, he threw every shot accurately, Minglou couldn't dodge it, and said, "Tsk tsk, 'Chew the red antler, and spit at Tan Lang with a smile'."

Mingcheng's eyes widened, and after a while he said sincerely: "In terms of brazenness, I am really willing to bow down."

Minglou thumped the ground with a low laugh, and simply dragged people to his side even more vigorously. He did not disappoint the surroundings. There are flowers and trees, birds and squirrels, but there is no good scenery without other people. .
