Sick Girlfriend's Melaleuca Routine
Chapter 52
"Many places in the north ushered in the biggest blizzard this year..."
The host's voice on the TV screen was drowned in the flood of drowsiness, and Chai Qianning's ears had gradually become inaudible.
A few throw pillows were thrown crookedly on the sofa.
Chai Qianning opened her eyelids with difficulty, and yawned outside the window.
The door ding-dong.
Chai Qianning stood up and dragged herself to open the door.
"Hello, takeaway, I wish you a happy meal."
After taking the takeaway from the delivery boy, she said thank you and closed the door.
The biggest change the community has made this year is that food delivery is finally allowed in the community. This is extremely convenient for many people who don’t like to go out, and they don’t have to run to the gate of the community to get it in pajamas without brushing their teeth or washing their faces. takeout.
The morning news was still on the television.
A few days ago, Sheng Muxi fell ill and had a fever last night. Chai Qianning took her to the hospital, where she was hung up with medicine for the whole night.
The TV was turned on to refresh oneself, but the host's unchanging official tone made Chai Qianning even more sleepy.
She picked up the remote control, tuned a channel, and found that this point was almost all news, so she threw down the remote control and had to give up.News is news.
It's cold outside now, and the steamed stuffed bun and porridge inside were still warm after the delivery, so she took out the plates and heated them up.
Go into the bedroom.
She stretched out her palm and placed it on Sheng Muxi's forehead.
Not hot, the fever has subsided.
The eyelashes of the sleeping person trembled slightly, and then slowly opened their eyes.
"Is it better?" Chai Qianning knelt on the bed with one knee, put her hands on the edge of the bed, and looked at Sheng Muxi's face.
Sheng Muxi sat up with sleepy eyes, her long messy hair fell on her collarbone, shoulders and other places.She grabbed Chai Qianning's hand and put it in her palm. There was a thin layer of soft and bright water in her lifted eyes, which gently rippling people's hearts when they blinked.
"Yeah, it's much better." She raised her hand and stroked Chai Qianning's eyes with her fingertips: "It's because I didn't sleep much last night."
"It's okay." Chai Qianning yawned again: "I'll catch up on sleep during the day."
After Sheng Muxi washed up, his whole complexion looked much better.
The hot porridge was put on the table, and Chai Qianning put the washed spoon beside the bowl, and gently pushed it in front of Sheng Muxi: "Drink some porridge."
Amidst the sound of the TV news, Sheng Muxi finished a bowl of porridge.
In the morning, Chai Qianning accompanied her to rest at home.
Today was originally a day off, but at noon Sheng Muxi felt that he was in a good state.Except for the hoarseness of the throat due to the cold, there is no discomfort in other parts of the body.
The two classes in the afternoon were her classes, Sheng Muxi didn't want to delay too much, so she planned to go to school after lunch.
Chai Qianning had no choice but to shake her head, "Ms. Sheng is really dedicated."
"I'm really fine. Take a nap in the afternoon and see that the dark circles under your eyes are gone." Sheng Muxi raised his hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes.
"Okay, then don't hold back if you're not feeling well, tell me, do you know?"
Sheng Muxi nodded.
Chai Qianning thought for a while and told her something: "By the way, don't talk."
How could it be possible for a teacher to talk less in class? Sheng Muxi smiled and tapped the tip of her nose with his fingertips: "I speak softly."
Her brain seemed to turn around at last, Chai Qianning scratched her head, trying to smooth things over for what she said just now: "Speak less means, try not to talk nonsense, and then drink more hot water."
Sheng Muxi raised his eyebrows lightly: "Okay, I will remember."
..
In the afternoon, I sent Sheng Muxi to school, and Chai Qianning started to catch up on sleep when she got home.
Obviously very sleepy in the morning, but I didn't seem to be able to fall asleep when I went to bed.
She got up and turned on the computer, clicked on the email, and looked at a series of numbers. She didn't sleep all night, her brain seemed to be dead, and she couldn't react, so she clicked on the mobile phone computer, but the numbers could be entered incorrectly.
So she had no choice but to give up, slumped on the bed, stared at the ceiling and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the evening, she received a call from Sheng Muxi and pulled her out of bed.
New semester, new weather, the annual home visit is coming.
The school requires teachers to visit all the students in the class in batches.
According to the distance of the family address, Sheng Muxi arranged to visit which student's home every afternoon after school, and one of the students lived near her community.
Chai Qianning offered to go with her, and it happened that after the home visit, they could have a hot pot together.
The spring equinox is approaching, the temperature does not rise but falls, and every corner of the city is wet by continuous rain for a long time. The road surface filled with rainwater is clear, and the neon lights are broken inside, reflecting the brilliance of winding and winding lines.
Chai Qianning put on a coat and went out.
In order to make her image more suitable, Chai Qianning bought a pair of non-prescribing black-rimmed glasses to wear.
Seeing her dressed like this, Sheng Muxi almost laughed.
Chai Qianning pretended to push the mirror socket: "Mr. Sheng, do you think I look like a teacher?"
"A little dumb." Sheng Muxi held back, but couldn't hold back, and curled his lips: "Why do you make yourself look like a teacher?"
"Of course it is..." Chai Qianning looked sideways, and looked at Sheng Muxi with falsely knowledgeable eyes: "In order to match your teacher's status."
During the home visit, Sheng Muxi was chatting with the parents of the students, and Chai Qianning was in charge of holding the thermos cup for Sheng Muxi. The content of the chat was actually about the student's grades in school, which was very boring for Chai Qianning. Not interested in listening at all.So I was dazed aside, all I could think about was the hot pot that I was going to eat later.
The communication went smoothly, and the home visit ended in less than half an hour.
Afterwards, the parents of the students sent them outside the community.
After finishing all this, Chai Qianning finally took off her black-rimmed glasses, stuffed them into her bag, and dragged Sheng Muxi straight to the hot pot restaurant.
There is a hot pot restaurant opposite, Chai Qianning does not pick.
Sheng Muxi laughed at her as a foodie, but found that her fingers were cold, so she couldn't help pinching them, and carefully noticed that Chai Qianning was only wearing a base layer under her coat.
"Why don't you wear a sweater underneath? Isn't it cold?"
"I forgot to wear it when I went out."
Sheng Muxi raised her hand and tucked her collar a little higher: "What temperature is this, you only wear two? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? You always tell me to wear more, look at yourself."
Let the other person put the hat on for her.
Chai Qianning's coat is always very loose, it looks thick, but it leaks air.
Under the hat, she revealed a pair of black and white eyes looking at Sheng Muxi, took her hand, and pulled her into the hot pot restaurant first with a smile.
"I didn't get sick with a cold last year, and I didn't seem to have any the year before last. I rarely got sick."
Sheng Muxi randomly checked a few items on the ingredient list, and then pushed it to Chai Qianning: "Really?"
"Yeah." Chai Qianning raised her eyes from the ingredient list: "You don't believe it?"
Sheng Muxi handed the ordered ingredient list to the waiter, then nodded her forehead: "Then you should also pay attention to your body."
This was a slap in the face very quickly, after eating hot pot and returning home, Chai Qianning's voice was strange the next day.
Shengmuxi does not have to go to school on weekends, but he will visit the homes of several students whose homes are far away.
She talked so much yesterday, she gave lectures and visited home, but her throat didn't deteriorate. It may be because she drank too much hot water. Her condition this morning didn't show any signs of a cold.
It is common for Chai Qianning to stay out of bed in the morning.
Some time ago, Chai Qianning took care of her sick and didn't take much rest, so Sheng Muxi wanted her to sleep more, so she didn't wake her up.
Probably woken up by a sore throat.
Chai Qianning opened her eyes and checked the time on her mobile phone, and then saw a message from Sheng Muxi: [There is breakfast in the kitchen, and you can eat it after you wake up. 】
She knew that Sheng Muxi was on a home visit.
After replying to the other party's message, Chai Qianning got out of bed and poured herself a cup of hot water.
She was still sleepy after breakfast, so she went to bed for a while.
When she opened her eyes again, Sheng Muxi had already returned, looking at her with a worried look.
"Do you have a fever?"
Chai Qianning groaned, her eyelids moved, she said last night that she didn't catch a cold so easily, but today she got caught.
She scratched her head: "It seems to be."
With a low fever, Chai Qianning didn't want to go to the hospital, so she drank a pack of antipyretic medicine.
She had a runny nose at night, and within a minute, she would take a tissue to wipe her nose.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a blanket and a pack of facial tissues in front of her, and the trash can in front of her.
He didn't want to do anything, and he slumped his back, throwing tissue balls into the trash can one by one.
This kind of cold is very painful, Chai Qianning even thought, stuffing two balls of tissue paper to block her nostrils.
Sheng Muxi came back from the outside, bought her some cold medicine, brought another cup of hot water, and put it in her hand.
Sitting next to her, warm palms covered her forehead: "Take the medicine for a few days and you should be fine."
"You're too close to me, you'll be easily infected, and it won't be good if we get infected repeatedly." Chai Qian stared into her eyes.
Sheng Muxi raised her hand and pinned her hair behind her ears, showing a rosy side face: "You caught a cold from the wind, you see you only wore two clothes yesterday."
"Well, I know, I must pay attention next time."
With that said, Chai Qianning took out another tissue to wipe her nose.
The corners of the other party's eyes were flushed, and there was a layer of water in the pupils. Sheng Muxi couldn't bear to say too much about her, so he raised his hand and gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips.
Chai Qianning originally wanted to do something to distract her attention, but the cold had already distracted her attention, and she couldn't even play games.
Bored, I scrolled through Moments, and found Fang Jiaqin's latest post: 【Don't click here! !Don't! !point! ! 】
It was a video, and the cover of the video was a photo of Fang Jiaqin herself.
This is not pure, just to arouse people's curiosity and click in to have a look!
Chai Qianning wanted to sneeze, but it got stuck in her throat, her eyes were half-closed, and she was brewing for a long time but couldn't get it out.
The hand reacts faster than the brain, and the video has already been clicked.The video was quite normal for the first few seconds. It was the scene of Fang Jiaqin singing to the camera, and then the picture gradually distorted and blurred, turning into a scary grimace, and suddenly hit the screen.
The sudden scene almost made Chai Qianning's hands tremble, but it made her sneeze more.
After she sneezed, she felt relieved. She raised her hand and shook a piece of facial tissue to wipe her nose.
Just now, I clicked in first, and Chai Qianning didn't even read the comments under Moments.She will go to see it, and find that there are a lot of thanks.
[Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change my phone again. 】
[Thank you, the kitchen knife is ready. 】
Chai Qianning typed and commented: [Thank you, my stuffy nose has been cured. 】
Fang Jiaqin replied: [? ? 】
The next afternoon, Chai Qianning took the medicine and went to bed to sleep and had a dream.Crazy and unbelievable dreams that have never been seen before in history.Realistically, Chai Qianning's body reacted.
Dusk was over when I woke up, and there was a smell from the kitchen.
The light in the bedroom was not turned on, and the dusk outside leaked in through the window sill, covering the foot of the bed and the floor, with a thin layer, showing a decadent beauty.
She just lifted the quilt when she saw Sheng Muxi coming in.
Sheng Muxi took a bath and was wearing a cotton velvet nightdress.The skirt is placed on the calf, following the movement of walking, rippling like ripples.
The light in the bedroom was turned on, and Chai Qianning squinted subconsciously.
Sheng Muxi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, facing her face to face. Only then did he see the details of the flushed face of the other party. Thinking that the other party had a fever again, he raised his hand and covered Chai Qianning's forehead with his palm.
Chai Qianning kneaded her fingers, her voice was a little soft after waking up: "I'm not uncomfortable."
Sheng Muxi put down his hand, his eyes turned on her face: "It's much better?"
"Ah."
"Is your nose still stuffy?"
Chai Qianning shrugged her nose: "Slightly, it's not that serious."
Sheng Muxi gently pinched her chin: "Then why is your face so red? It's strange."
Hearing the other party's words, Chai Qianning remembered the content of the dream, her eyes staring at Sheng Muxi suddenly froze, thoughtful.
Her eyes burned to the bottom of Sheng Muxi's heart, and she blinked slowly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be because you were sleepy? How much is it?"
Chai Qianning smiled and took away her finger shaking in front of her: "But I had a dream."
"What dream?" Sheng Muxi asked.
Chai Qianning suddenly stopped talking at this moment, raised her eyelids to look at Sheng Muxi after a few seconds, bit her lips: "I dreamed that you kissed me."
These words made Sheng Muxi pause.
She came back early in the afternoon, and saw that Chai Qianning was sleeping, so she didn't disturb her.Sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her for a while, he couldn't help but kissed her forehead.
Shengmuxi Taohua's eyes were misty: "You haven't fallen asleep!"
"No way." Chai Qian put her knuckles on her chin, showing surprise, her expression gradually changed: "I'm already sick, and you actually did that kind of thing to me!"
Sheng Muxi: "??"
Just kissed her on the forehead, how could she be so shameful by the other party.
Chai Qianning lifted the corner of the quilt with her fingertips, opened her mouth slightly, and said in an exaggerated tone: "What do I say, the body is so weak, it seems that the essence has been sucked, and there is only an empty shell left. It must be you, hey, I hate it."
Chai Qianning gently flicked the corner of the quilt hooked by her fingers to Sheng Muxi's body. Sheng Muxi's forehead twitched, and she put her palm on the other's forehead again, and touched her own forehead for comparison.
No fever, why is it so abnormal?
"I just kissed your forehead." Sheng Muxi's throat slipped: "So what are you dreaming about?"
"Just kiss my forehead?"
Sheng Muxi nodded, looking at her with complicated expressions.
Chai Qianning coughed a few times: "It's nothing, I can smell the food, let's go eat."
"Hey." Sheng Muxi grabbed her arm: "What dream made you blush like this?"
A few seconds later, Sheng Muxi seemed to understand something, and his pupils gradually dilated: "So I just kissed you, and you dreamed of that kind of content?"
It's just that she was sick and caught a cold, but who knew that she would have that kind of dream, Chai Qianning felt very embarrassed.She turned her head away and changed the subject: "I'm hungry."
"Let's eat after we finish talking."
"I am hungry."
"Just a moment."
"I'm starving."
Sheng Muxi laughed a few times in a low voice.
Chai Qian turned her gaze back and tickled her: "Laugh and laugh."
"Say it." Sheng Muxi applied what she said before to herself: "I'm an old wife, so why not be embarrassed."
Chai Qianning replied perfunctorily: "It's very simple, I dreamed about you, and then we did this and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that.
A while ago, Sheng Muxi caught a cold, and a while ago Sheng Muxi was busy with school affairs, and now it's her turn to catch a cold, it seems that she hasn't done that kind of thing for a long time.Thinking so, Chai Qianning found an excuse for having that dream.
After eating, Chai Qianning took a shower.
She recovered from her cold quickly, and when she woke up in the afternoon, her nose stopped running, so her whole body became very refreshed from the inside out.
The TV was on and a variety show was playing.
Chai Qianning didn't think about it at all, but took a few glances at the study from time to time.
The door of the study room was open, Sheng Muxi answered a phone call, hung up after chatting for a while, then pulled back the chair and sat down.The downcast gaze lifted up after feeling something, just in time for Shang Chaiqian's staring gaze.Chai Qianning smiled at her and winked.
Sheng Muxi pursed his lips, lowered his long eyelashes, the corners of his mouth were still uncontrollable, and a smile leaked out.With the pen in his hand, he accidentally scratched a few black marks on the blank notebook, and he couldn't write down the pen for a long time, because he forgot what he was going to write.
Chai Qianning threw down the remote control, stretched out her feet from the blanket covering it, reached to the floor, and groped for a cotton mop. Unfortunately, the phone on the table rang.
Glancing at the caller, she hesitated for a few seconds and picked up.
"Let me go there now? It's so late."
"How about tomorrow, um, I'll deal with it tomorrow."
"I am sick."
"Seriously, my eyes are black, my legs are weak, how can it not be serious, you let me go out at this point, do you want me to experience the joy of being an ice sculpture or the joy of being a quick-frozen dumpling?"
"Why are you exaggerating? Although it doesn't snow here, it's still very cold, okay?"
"Okay, hang up."
Throwing the phone on the table, Chai Qianning put on cotton slippers and tiptoed to the door of the study.
This room, which was originally the second bedroom, was transformed into a study room. After Chai Qianning moved here, a bookshelf was added and placed opposite the entrance.
There are everything on the bookshelf, books, pen holders, staplers and tape in a few small boxes.
There are a lot of things and miscellaneous, but they are neatly tidied up by Sheng Muxi, which looks a bit elegant.
Sheng Muxi didn't raise his eyes, but pressed his pen and opened his lips lightly: "Your eyes are dark, your legs are weak, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Chai Qianning walked in: "I'm watching you, do you need help?"
Sheng Muxi was turning the pen in his hand, with a slight smile at the end of his eyes: "Have you observed anything?"
"You're absent-minded." Chai Qianning lowered her smiling lips and stopped a few centimeters away from Sheng Muxi's face: "Overhear my phone call."
Sheng Muxi licked his lips: "You are so loud."
The pen fell from Sheng Muxi's hand to the ground in an instant, rolled a distance away, and stopped at the door of the study.
Chai Qianning straddled her long legs, sat on the other side's Yuetui, lowered her head, and held her face: "Do you need my help to build happiness?"
Sheng Muxi had to raise his fair neck, forming a superior and smooth line from the corner of his jaw to his chin.She stretched out her hand, hugged the opponent's waist, and gradually lowered it.
"Have you recovered from your cold?" She asked softly, her chest rose and fell, and the skin on Chai Qianning's body began to feel hot.
Chai Qianning slid her fingertips from the opponent's cheek to the earlobe, and said in a seductive voice, "It couldn't be better."
"Don't you want to know what dream I had in the afternoon?"
"Ok?"
"I'll tell you in detail, specifically."
The variety show was still playing on the TV in the living room, and the pen that fell on the door of the study was kicked, and it slid directly to the front of the TV cabinet.
The dark night is mixed with the thin and cool moonlight, and the hot body is wrapped in a hot heart.
..
After both of them finished their work, they found a weekend, and Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi went to visit Ni Chujing.
The pear tree by the back door was in bloom, and the small white stamens bloomed on the branches, reflecting on the blue sky of the green hills in the distance.
When they arrived in the alley of Tongyuan, they saw Ni Chujing sitting in Toyamiting's clinic
"Teacher Ni." The two went over and called "Doctor Feng" again.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Sheng Muxi asked.
Ni Chujing straightened the clothes on her lap, and was as friendly as usual: "It's a little cold, it's okay."
Feng Jianting packed the medicinal plastic bag and carried it to Ni Chujing: "Remember to take the medicine on time."
"Okay, trouble Dr. Feng."
Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi walked back with Ni Chujing, talking and laughing all the way.
There is an elderly man living opposite Ni Chujing. His children are not around, and he and Ni Chujing often visit and chat.
It was also on this day that Sheng Muxi learned from Grandma Liu something that Ni Chujing had never told them.
Ni Chujing grew up in the countryside of City C. At that time, patriarchy was extremely serious in many places in the countryside.
At that time, there was no concept of family planning. Ni Chujing had more than a dozen brothers and sisters. The concept that girls were useless to study was vividly reflected in the school at that time.
The tuition fee is only a few yuan, and several brothers and younger brothers in Ni Chujing's family are all in school.But their sisters were the only ones who didn't go to school and couldn't read big characters. They had to get up early every day to help the family at a young age and earn money to buy clothes and stationery for their brothers and sisters.
Once I came back from cutting pigweed at the foot of the mountain and passed by the elementary school.
The school is very simple, a dilapidated house serves as a classroom, and there is only a tree and a red flag on the yellow land outside.
There is a big gong and drum hanging on the tree. Every time the class is over, someone will beat it.
That day, with the sound of gongs and drums, the dilapidated wooden door of the classroom was opened, and a group of naughty boys poured out.
There are very few girls, or almost none.
So the scene when Xu Limeng, who was eavesdropping outside the classroom window that day, ran away in a panic after hearing the bell rang, left a particularly deep impression on Ni Chujing.
The girl with braids accidentally bumped into Ni Chujing because she was too nervous.Ni Chujing saw that she was holding a folded newspaper in her hand, with a few large characters drawn crookedly on it.
Ni Chujing was curious: "Are you eavesdropping on their class?"
Xu Limeng pointed to the big characters on it, and told her seriously: "Yes, I learned a few characters today."
She knelt down, and with her finger, stroke by stroke, wrote to her, as if she had found some treasure, and she was so happy.
Perhaps the sunset that evening was so red that the girl's cheeks were flushed. Ni Chujing was infected by her emotions and became happy.
Later, when I went to cut pigweed every day, Ni Chujing made an appointment with Xu Limeng to eavesdrop outside the classroom window.At some point, they will share the big characters they know on the soil under the tree.
At that time, Ni Chujing just thought it was fun to do so, and didn't think too much about it.
Xu Limeng's awareness is much higher than hers. She said she wanted to study and sold pigweed for a few months to save four yuan for tuition.
However, she still failed to go to school. Xu Limeng's parents confiscated her money after they found out.She ran to cry with Ni Chujing. Ni Chujing would be deeply poisoned by local thoughts, and she couldn't quite understand why she insisted on studying so much.
Xu Limeng wiped away her tears: "The girls here don't have any books to read, but do you know Lin?"
As if sharing some secret, the girl took out a tattered book hidden in the tree hole, and secretly read it behind the big tree with her.
"Last time a teacher from outside came to our place and left within a few days. When he left, he dropped this book and I picked it up."
Xu Limeng touched it carefully. She didn't know a few of the characters inside, but she knew the characters Lin and Nu.
"I eavesdropped on that teacher's class at that time. I heard him introduce that this Lin is a woman, just like us. You see, she can write so many words that I don't know, better than the boys at school. There are so many, it’s amazing.”
——It was a collection of poems by Lin Huiyin.
Ni Chujing was nine years old that year. When she went to ask her parents, they would only tell her that girls only need to learn to work, and that their future mission is to marry and have children.
"Do you want to go out and see the outside world?"
This condition is very attractive.
She and Xu Limeng cut pig grass and sold them together, secretly saved tuition fees, and made an agreement that belonged to them.
In the poor mountains of that era, the fate of most girls was not in their own hands. If Xu Limeng hadn't met, perhaps her life would have been like many girls at that time, getting married and having children at a young age, and living a humble and dull life After meeting Xu Limeng, she began to yearn for the illustrations in textbooks, words, and life on the other side of the mountain.
Later, with the help of supporting teachers and people who came here to do charity, she and Xu Limeng realized their dream of studying, but they fell out with their family.
They didn't recognize this daughter, and even threatened to sever the relationship, which was shameful.
Ni Chujing and Xu Limeng came to City A when they were in their thirties.Before that, they lived up to the expectations of their sponsors and became teachers successfully. When they were young, they often went to the mountains to teach.
After the age of 30, Xu Limeng's health became very poor, and a tumor was found in her body.
The medical conditions in the countryside cannot be met, so I can only move to the city to live.
At that time, they lived in Tongyan Alley and lived for several years.
One day, Xu Limeng joked to her: "Why aren't you married yet? You're almost unmarried at this age."
Ni Chujing said: "If you can't get married, you won't get married."
Under the pear tree that spring, Xu Limeng's smile was as warm as the pear blossoms on the branch: "Then I won't get married either, Jingzi, or we can make do with it."
Another spring, Xu Limeng's condition worsened. The doctor didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that her days were numbered.
She asked Ni Chujing to take her home once. Ni Chujing endured the pain in her heart and sat by the back door with her for a long time.
Before his death, Xu Limeng said the last words to her: "You are the most important... lover in my life."
I just remember that the pear blossoms that year were as white as the sheets in the ward.
..
The laughter of children came from the alley in the distance.
Sheng Muxi only knew that Ni Chujing was a very good teacher, but he didn't know that there were these stories behind her.
Grandma Liu passed away a few days later.
I heard from people in the alley that the old man had specially put on new clothes, and as usual, sat alone at the door and dozed off, but he never woke up after that sleep.
Grandma Liu's children are out of town, and the neighbors are busy handling the funeral affairs.
Standing quietly in front of the grave, Chai Qianning held Sheng Muxi's hand tightly.
She didn't know that a few days ago, Grandma Liu suddenly told them about Ni Chujing's past. Did she already have a premonition that she was about to die.Therefore, seeing that the two of them often come to Ni Chujing's house, I hope they can visit Ni Chujing more often.
The old man is a kind-hearted person. She was lonely in her later years, but before she died, she still thought about her neighbors.
The dense drizzle washed the green leaves, and there was a mist on the mountain.
Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi followed Ni Chujing to visit Xu Limeng's grave.
The tomb was covered with weeds, and Ni Chujing cleaned it with a sickle.
Knowing that the other party didn't want them to help, Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi just stood aside and watched quietly.
Sheng Muxi led Chai Qianning, put the umbrella on top of Ni Chujing's head, and stood there for a while, no one spoke, but without saying anything, there was a strong touch, growing with the spring breeze.
A few months later, summer came again.
Sheng Muxi had thought about taking Ni Chujing over to live with him. Chai Qianning also agreed with this matter.
But in the end, Ni Chujing's wish was respected.Also, in Tongwan Alley, there is everything she cares about most.
Ni Chujing reassured them that although she lived alone, she was very familiar with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and she could find someone to chat with if she had nothing to do, and she could also spend time with the old people in the alley during the holidays.
The cicadas sing loudly in July.
I still remember that last year, Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi had only met each other not long ago, and they were just ordinary neighbors at that time.
Chai Qianning is hibernating, sleepy in spring, exhausted in summer and weak in autumn.
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, her unchanging habit is to stay in bed.
In order to change Chai Qianning's habit of staying in bed, Sheng Muxi took her for a morning run on a whim during the summer vacation.
Get up at [-]:[-] every morning and go for a run in the park at [-]:[-]. Chai Qianning wakes up every day as if she has lost her soul. It seems that her face, arms, and legs are all coated with super glue, sticking to the bed and not leaving. Let it go, when you get to the park, you still have to stick to Shengmuxi, and you can't even pull it out.
Sheng Muxi led her to run, Chai Qianning fell behind, her body was moving, but her soul seemed to be asleep.
So Sheng Muxi had to walk slowly instead, and Chai Qianning yawned as she faced the trees and the grass.
It's not easy to develop good habits. It's only halfway through the summer vacation, and Sheng Muxi has already given up saving her lazy cancer.
So the picture of waking up every morning changed to that of Chai Qianning seeing the sunlight leaking in from the window, always making a fuss: "You didn't wake me up today."
However, under the influence of Sheng Muxi's meal, she still wakes up naturally at seven or eight o'clock every day.
Waking up in the morning of Qingming, Sheng Muxi had already gone to school.When Chai Qianning opened the refrigerator, she would see a post-it note on the refrigerator with Sheng Muxi's delicate handwriting on it: Don't drink ice in the morning, or I will hit you.
There is also a stick figure drawn next to it.
Chai Qianning pinched the corner of the post-it note with her fingers and smiled slightly.
The host's voice on the TV screen was drowned in the flood of drowsiness, and Chai Qianning's ears had gradually become inaudible.
A few throw pillows were thrown crookedly on the sofa.
Chai Qianning opened her eyelids with difficulty, and yawned outside the window.
The door ding-dong.
Chai Qianning stood up and dragged herself to open the door.
"Hello, takeaway, I wish you a happy meal."
After taking the takeaway from the delivery boy, she said thank you and closed the door.
The biggest change the community has made this year is that food delivery is finally allowed in the community. This is extremely convenient for many people who don’t like to go out, and they don’t have to run to the gate of the community to get it in pajamas without brushing their teeth or washing their faces. takeout.
The morning news was still on the television.
A few days ago, Sheng Muxi fell ill and had a fever last night. Chai Qianning took her to the hospital, where she was hung up with medicine for the whole night.
The TV was turned on to refresh oneself, but the host's unchanging official tone made Chai Qianning even more sleepy.
She picked up the remote control, tuned a channel, and found that this point was almost all news, so she threw down the remote control and had to give up.News is news.
It's cold outside now, and the steamed stuffed bun and porridge inside were still warm after the delivery, so she took out the plates and heated them up.
Go into the bedroom.
She stretched out her palm and placed it on Sheng Muxi's forehead.
Not hot, the fever has subsided.
The eyelashes of the sleeping person trembled slightly, and then slowly opened their eyes.
"Is it better?" Chai Qianning knelt on the bed with one knee, put her hands on the edge of the bed, and looked at Sheng Muxi's face.
Sheng Muxi sat up with sleepy eyes, her long messy hair fell on her collarbone, shoulders and other places.She grabbed Chai Qianning's hand and put it in her palm. There was a thin layer of soft and bright water in her lifted eyes, which gently rippling people's hearts when they blinked.
"Yeah, it's much better." She raised her hand and stroked Chai Qianning's eyes with her fingertips: "It's because I didn't sleep much last night."
"It's okay." Chai Qianning yawned again: "I'll catch up on sleep during the day."
After Sheng Muxi washed up, his whole complexion looked much better.
The hot porridge was put on the table, and Chai Qianning put the washed spoon beside the bowl, and gently pushed it in front of Sheng Muxi: "Drink some porridge."
Amidst the sound of the TV news, Sheng Muxi finished a bowl of porridge.
In the morning, Chai Qianning accompanied her to rest at home.
Today was originally a day off, but at noon Sheng Muxi felt that he was in a good state.Except for the hoarseness of the throat due to the cold, there is no discomfort in other parts of the body.
The two classes in the afternoon were her classes, Sheng Muxi didn't want to delay too much, so she planned to go to school after lunch.
Chai Qianning had no choice but to shake her head, "Ms. Sheng is really dedicated."
"I'm really fine. Take a nap in the afternoon and see that the dark circles under your eyes are gone." Sheng Muxi raised his hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes.
"Okay, then don't hold back if you're not feeling well, tell me, do you know?"
Sheng Muxi nodded.
Chai Qianning thought for a while and told her something: "By the way, don't talk."
How could it be possible for a teacher to talk less in class? Sheng Muxi smiled and tapped the tip of her nose with his fingertips: "I speak softly."
Her brain seemed to turn around at last, Chai Qianning scratched her head, trying to smooth things over for what she said just now: "Speak less means, try not to talk nonsense, and then drink more hot water."
Sheng Muxi raised his eyebrows lightly: "Okay, I will remember."
..
In the afternoon, I sent Sheng Muxi to school, and Chai Qianning started to catch up on sleep when she got home.
Obviously very sleepy in the morning, but I didn't seem to be able to fall asleep when I went to bed.
She got up and turned on the computer, clicked on the email, and looked at a series of numbers. She didn't sleep all night, her brain seemed to be dead, and she couldn't react, so she clicked on the mobile phone computer, but the numbers could be entered incorrectly.
So she had no choice but to give up, slumped on the bed, stared at the ceiling and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the evening, she received a call from Sheng Muxi and pulled her out of bed.
New semester, new weather, the annual home visit is coming.
The school requires teachers to visit all the students in the class in batches.
According to the distance of the family address, Sheng Muxi arranged to visit which student's home every afternoon after school, and one of the students lived near her community.
Chai Qianning offered to go with her, and it happened that after the home visit, they could have a hot pot together.
The spring equinox is approaching, the temperature does not rise but falls, and every corner of the city is wet by continuous rain for a long time. The road surface filled with rainwater is clear, and the neon lights are broken inside, reflecting the brilliance of winding and winding lines.
Chai Qianning put on a coat and went out.
In order to make her image more suitable, Chai Qianning bought a pair of non-prescribing black-rimmed glasses to wear.
Seeing her dressed like this, Sheng Muxi almost laughed.
Chai Qianning pretended to push the mirror socket: "Mr. Sheng, do you think I look like a teacher?"
"A little dumb." Sheng Muxi held back, but couldn't hold back, and curled his lips: "Why do you make yourself look like a teacher?"
"Of course it is..." Chai Qianning looked sideways, and looked at Sheng Muxi with falsely knowledgeable eyes: "In order to match your teacher's status."
During the home visit, Sheng Muxi was chatting with the parents of the students, and Chai Qianning was in charge of holding the thermos cup for Sheng Muxi. The content of the chat was actually about the student's grades in school, which was very boring for Chai Qianning. Not interested in listening at all.So I was dazed aside, all I could think about was the hot pot that I was going to eat later.
The communication went smoothly, and the home visit ended in less than half an hour.
Afterwards, the parents of the students sent them outside the community.
After finishing all this, Chai Qianning finally took off her black-rimmed glasses, stuffed them into her bag, and dragged Sheng Muxi straight to the hot pot restaurant.
There is a hot pot restaurant opposite, Chai Qianning does not pick.
Sheng Muxi laughed at her as a foodie, but found that her fingers were cold, so she couldn't help pinching them, and carefully noticed that Chai Qianning was only wearing a base layer under her coat.
"Why don't you wear a sweater underneath? Isn't it cold?"
"I forgot to wear it when I went out."
Sheng Muxi raised her hand and tucked her collar a little higher: "What temperature is this, you only wear two? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? You always tell me to wear more, look at yourself."
Let the other person put the hat on for her.
Chai Qianning's coat is always very loose, it looks thick, but it leaks air.
Under the hat, she revealed a pair of black and white eyes looking at Sheng Muxi, took her hand, and pulled her into the hot pot restaurant first with a smile.
"I didn't get sick with a cold last year, and I didn't seem to have any the year before last. I rarely got sick."
Sheng Muxi randomly checked a few items on the ingredient list, and then pushed it to Chai Qianning: "Really?"
"Yeah." Chai Qianning raised her eyes from the ingredient list: "You don't believe it?"
Sheng Muxi handed the ordered ingredient list to the waiter, then nodded her forehead: "Then you should also pay attention to your body."
This was a slap in the face very quickly, after eating hot pot and returning home, Chai Qianning's voice was strange the next day.
Shengmuxi does not have to go to school on weekends, but he will visit the homes of several students whose homes are far away.
She talked so much yesterday, she gave lectures and visited home, but her throat didn't deteriorate. It may be because she drank too much hot water. Her condition this morning didn't show any signs of a cold.
It is common for Chai Qianning to stay out of bed in the morning.
Some time ago, Chai Qianning took care of her sick and didn't take much rest, so Sheng Muxi wanted her to sleep more, so she didn't wake her up.
Probably woken up by a sore throat.
Chai Qianning opened her eyes and checked the time on her mobile phone, and then saw a message from Sheng Muxi: [There is breakfast in the kitchen, and you can eat it after you wake up. 】
She knew that Sheng Muxi was on a home visit.
After replying to the other party's message, Chai Qianning got out of bed and poured herself a cup of hot water.
She was still sleepy after breakfast, so she went to bed for a while.
When she opened her eyes again, Sheng Muxi had already returned, looking at her with a worried look.
"Do you have a fever?"
Chai Qianning groaned, her eyelids moved, she said last night that she didn't catch a cold so easily, but today she got caught.
She scratched her head: "It seems to be."
With a low fever, Chai Qianning didn't want to go to the hospital, so she drank a pack of antipyretic medicine.
She had a runny nose at night, and within a minute, she would take a tissue to wipe her nose.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a blanket and a pack of facial tissues in front of her, and the trash can in front of her.
He didn't want to do anything, and he slumped his back, throwing tissue balls into the trash can one by one.
This kind of cold is very painful, Chai Qianning even thought, stuffing two balls of tissue paper to block her nostrils.
Sheng Muxi came back from the outside, bought her some cold medicine, brought another cup of hot water, and put it in her hand.
Sitting next to her, warm palms covered her forehead: "Take the medicine for a few days and you should be fine."
"You're too close to me, you'll be easily infected, and it won't be good if we get infected repeatedly." Chai Qian stared into her eyes.
Sheng Muxi raised her hand and pinned her hair behind her ears, showing a rosy side face: "You caught a cold from the wind, you see you only wore two clothes yesterday."
"Well, I know, I must pay attention next time."
With that said, Chai Qianning took out another tissue to wipe her nose.
The corners of the other party's eyes were flushed, and there was a layer of water in the pupils. Sheng Muxi couldn't bear to say too much about her, so he raised his hand and gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips.
Chai Qianning originally wanted to do something to distract her attention, but the cold had already distracted her attention, and she couldn't even play games.
Bored, I scrolled through Moments, and found Fang Jiaqin's latest post: 【Don't click here! !Don't! !point! ! 】
It was a video, and the cover of the video was a photo of Fang Jiaqin herself.
This is not pure, just to arouse people's curiosity and click in to have a look!
Chai Qianning wanted to sneeze, but it got stuck in her throat, her eyes were half-closed, and she was brewing for a long time but couldn't get it out.
The hand reacts faster than the brain, and the video has already been clicked.The video was quite normal for the first few seconds. It was the scene of Fang Jiaqin singing to the camera, and then the picture gradually distorted and blurred, turning into a scary grimace, and suddenly hit the screen.
The sudden scene almost made Chai Qianning's hands tremble, but it made her sneeze more.
After she sneezed, she felt relieved. She raised her hand and shook a piece of facial tissue to wipe her nose.
Just now, I clicked in first, and Chai Qianning didn't even read the comments under Moments.She will go to see it, and find that there are a lot of thanks.
[Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change my phone again. 】
[Thank you, the kitchen knife is ready. 】
Chai Qianning typed and commented: [Thank you, my stuffy nose has been cured. 】
Fang Jiaqin replied: [? ? 】
The next afternoon, Chai Qianning took the medicine and went to bed to sleep and had a dream.Crazy and unbelievable dreams that have never been seen before in history.Realistically, Chai Qianning's body reacted.
Dusk was over when I woke up, and there was a smell from the kitchen.
The light in the bedroom was not turned on, and the dusk outside leaked in through the window sill, covering the foot of the bed and the floor, with a thin layer, showing a decadent beauty.
She just lifted the quilt when she saw Sheng Muxi coming in.
Sheng Muxi took a bath and was wearing a cotton velvet nightdress.The skirt is placed on the calf, following the movement of walking, rippling like ripples.
The light in the bedroom was turned on, and Chai Qianning squinted subconsciously.
Sheng Muxi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, facing her face to face. Only then did he see the details of the flushed face of the other party. Thinking that the other party had a fever again, he raised his hand and covered Chai Qianning's forehead with his palm.
Chai Qianning kneaded her fingers, her voice was a little soft after waking up: "I'm not uncomfortable."
Sheng Muxi put down his hand, his eyes turned on her face: "It's much better?"
"Ah."
"Is your nose still stuffy?"
Chai Qianning shrugged her nose: "Slightly, it's not that serious."
Sheng Muxi gently pinched her chin: "Then why is your face so red? It's strange."
Hearing the other party's words, Chai Qianning remembered the content of the dream, her eyes staring at Sheng Muxi suddenly froze, thoughtful.
Her eyes burned to the bottom of Sheng Muxi's heart, and she blinked slowly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be because you were sleepy? How much is it?"
Chai Qianning smiled and took away her finger shaking in front of her: "But I had a dream."
"What dream?" Sheng Muxi asked.
Chai Qianning suddenly stopped talking at this moment, raised her eyelids to look at Sheng Muxi after a few seconds, bit her lips: "I dreamed that you kissed me."
These words made Sheng Muxi pause.
She came back early in the afternoon, and saw that Chai Qianning was sleeping, so she didn't disturb her.Sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her for a while, he couldn't help but kissed her forehead.
Shengmuxi Taohua's eyes were misty: "You haven't fallen asleep!"
"No way." Chai Qian put her knuckles on her chin, showing surprise, her expression gradually changed: "I'm already sick, and you actually did that kind of thing to me!"
Sheng Muxi: "??"
Just kissed her on the forehead, how could she be so shameful by the other party.
Chai Qianning lifted the corner of the quilt with her fingertips, opened her mouth slightly, and said in an exaggerated tone: "What do I say, the body is so weak, it seems that the essence has been sucked, and there is only an empty shell left. It must be you, hey, I hate it."
Chai Qianning gently flicked the corner of the quilt hooked by her fingers to Sheng Muxi's body. Sheng Muxi's forehead twitched, and she put her palm on the other's forehead again, and touched her own forehead for comparison.
No fever, why is it so abnormal?
"I just kissed your forehead." Sheng Muxi's throat slipped: "So what are you dreaming about?"
"Just kiss my forehead?"
Sheng Muxi nodded, looking at her with complicated expressions.
Chai Qianning coughed a few times: "It's nothing, I can smell the food, let's go eat."
"Hey." Sheng Muxi grabbed her arm: "What dream made you blush like this?"
A few seconds later, Sheng Muxi seemed to understand something, and his pupils gradually dilated: "So I just kissed you, and you dreamed of that kind of content?"
It's just that she was sick and caught a cold, but who knew that she would have that kind of dream, Chai Qianning felt very embarrassed.She turned her head away and changed the subject: "I'm hungry."
"Let's eat after we finish talking."
"I am hungry."
"Just a moment."
"I'm starving."
Sheng Muxi laughed a few times in a low voice.
Chai Qian turned her gaze back and tickled her: "Laugh and laugh."
"Say it." Sheng Muxi applied what she said before to herself: "I'm an old wife, so why not be embarrassed."
Chai Qianning replied perfunctorily: "It's very simple, I dreamed about you, and then we did this and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that.
A while ago, Sheng Muxi caught a cold, and a while ago Sheng Muxi was busy with school affairs, and now it's her turn to catch a cold, it seems that she hasn't done that kind of thing for a long time.Thinking so, Chai Qianning found an excuse for having that dream.
After eating, Chai Qianning took a shower.
She recovered from her cold quickly, and when she woke up in the afternoon, her nose stopped running, so her whole body became very refreshed from the inside out.
The TV was on and a variety show was playing.
Chai Qianning didn't think about it at all, but took a few glances at the study from time to time.
The door of the study room was open, Sheng Muxi answered a phone call, hung up after chatting for a while, then pulled back the chair and sat down.The downcast gaze lifted up after feeling something, just in time for Shang Chaiqian's staring gaze.Chai Qianning smiled at her and winked.
Sheng Muxi pursed his lips, lowered his long eyelashes, the corners of his mouth were still uncontrollable, and a smile leaked out.With the pen in his hand, he accidentally scratched a few black marks on the blank notebook, and he couldn't write down the pen for a long time, because he forgot what he was going to write.
Chai Qianning threw down the remote control, stretched out her feet from the blanket covering it, reached to the floor, and groped for a cotton mop. Unfortunately, the phone on the table rang.
Glancing at the caller, she hesitated for a few seconds and picked up.
"Let me go there now? It's so late."
"How about tomorrow, um, I'll deal with it tomorrow."
"I am sick."
"Seriously, my eyes are black, my legs are weak, how can it not be serious, you let me go out at this point, do you want me to experience the joy of being an ice sculpture or the joy of being a quick-frozen dumpling?"
"Why are you exaggerating? Although it doesn't snow here, it's still very cold, okay?"
"Okay, hang up."
Throwing the phone on the table, Chai Qianning put on cotton slippers and tiptoed to the door of the study.
This room, which was originally the second bedroom, was transformed into a study room. After Chai Qianning moved here, a bookshelf was added and placed opposite the entrance.
There are everything on the bookshelf, books, pen holders, staplers and tape in a few small boxes.
There are a lot of things and miscellaneous, but they are neatly tidied up by Sheng Muxi, which looks a bit elegant.
Sheng Muxi didn't raise his eyes, but pressed his pen and opened his lips lightly: "Your eyes are dark, your legs are weak, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Chai Qianning walked in: "I'm watching you, do you need help?"
Sheng Muxi was turning the pen in his hand, with a slight smile at the end of his eyes: "Have you observed anything?"
"You're absent-minded." Chai Qianning lowered her smiling lips and stopped a few centimeters away from Sheng Muxi's face: "Overhear my phone call."
Sheng Muxi licked his lips: "You are so loud."
The pen fell from Sheng Muxi's hand to the ground in an instant, rolled a distance away, and stopped at the door of the study.
Chai Qianning straddled her long legs, sat on the other side's Yuetui, lowered her head, and held her face: "Do you need my help to build happiness?"
Sheng Muxi had to raise his fair neck, forming a superior and smooth line from the corner of his jaw to his chin.She stretched out her hand, hugged the opponent's waist, and gradually lowered it.
"Have you recovered from your cold?" She asked softly, her chest rose and fell, and the skin on Chai Qianning's body began to feel hot.
Chai Qianning slid her fingertips from the opponent's cheek to the earlobe, and said in a seductive voice, "It couldn't be better."
"Don't you want to know what dream I had in the afternoon?"
"Ok?"
"I'll tell you in detail, specifically."
The variety show was still playing on the TV in the living room, and the pen that fell on the door of the study was kicked, and it slid directly to the front of the TV cabinet.
The dark night is mixed with the thin and cool moonlight, and the hot body is wrapped in a hot heart.
..
After both of them finished their work, they found a weekend, and Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi went to visit Ni Chujing.
The pear tree by the back door was in bloom, and the small white stamens bloomed on the branches, reflecting on the blue sky of the green hills in the distance.
When they arrived in the alley of Tongyuan, they saw Ni Chujing sitting in Toyamiting's clinic
"Teacher Ni." The two went over and called "Doctor Feng" again.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Sheng Muxi asked.
Ni Chujing straightened the clothes on her lap, and was as friendly as usual: "It's a little cold, it's okay."
Feng Jianting packed the medicinal plastic bag and carried it to Ni Chujing: "Remember to take the medicine on time."
"Okay, trouble Dr. Feng."
Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi walked back with Ni Chujing, talking and laughing all the way.
There is an elderly man living opposite Ni Chujing. His children are not around, and he and Ni Chujing often visit and chat.
It was also on this day that Sheng Muxi learned from Grandma Liu something that Ni Chujing had never told them.
Ni Chujing grew up in the countryside of City C. At that time, patriarchy was extremely serious in many places in the countryside.
At that time, there was no concept of family planning. Ni Chujing had more than a dozen brothers and sisters. The concept that girls were useless to study was vividly reflected in the school at that time.
The tuition fee is only a few yuan, and several brothers and younger brothers in Ni Chujing's family are all in school.But their sisters were the only ones who didn't go to school and couldn't read big characters. They had to get up early every day to help the family at a young age and earn money to buy clothes and stationery for their brothers and sisters.
Once I came back from cutting pigweed at the foot of the mountain and passed by the elementary school.
The school is very simple, a dilapidated house serves as a classroom, and there is only a tree and a red flag on the yellow land outside.
There is a big gong and drum hanging on the tree. Every time the class is over, someone will beat it.
That day, with the sound of gongs and drums, the dilapidated wooden door of the classroom was opened, and a group of naughty boys poured out.
There are very few girls, or almost none.
So the scene when Xu Limeng, who was eavesdropping outside the classroom window that day, ran away in a panic after hearing the bell rang, left a particularly deep impression on Ni Chujing.
The girl with braids accidentally bumped into Ni Chujing because she was too nervous.Ni Chujing saw that she was holding a folded newspaper in her hand, with a few large characters drawn crookedly on it.
Ni Chujing was curious: "Are you eavesdropping on their class?"
Xu Limeng pointed to the big characters on it, and told her seriously: "Yes, I learned a few characters today."
She knelt down, and with her finger, stroke by stroke, wrote to her, as if she had found some treasure, and she was so happy.
Perhaps the sunset that evening was so red that the girl's cheeks were flushed. Ni Chujing was infected by her emotions and became happy.
Later, when I went to cut pigweed every day, Ni Chujing made an appointment with Xu Limeng to eavesdrop outside the classroom window.At some point, they will share the big characters they know on the soil under the tree.
At that time, Ni Chujing just thought it was fun to do so, and didn't think too much about it.
Xu Limeng's awareness is much higher than hers. She said she wanted to study and sold pigweed for a few months to save four yuan for tuition.
However, she still failed to go to school. Xu Limeng's parents confiscated her money after they found out.She ran to cry with Ni Chujing. Ni Chujing would be deeply poisoned by local thoughts, and she couldn't quite understand why she insisted on studying so much.
Xu Limeng wiped away her tears: "The girls here don't have any books to read, but do you know Lin?"
As if sharing some secret, the girl took out a tattered book hidden in the tree hole, and secretly read it behind the big tree with her.
"Last time a teacher from outside came to our place and left within a few days. When he left, he dropped this book and I picked it up."
Xu Limeng touched it carefully. She didn't know a few of the characters inside, but she knew the characters Lin and Nu.
"I eavesdropped on that teacher's class at that time. I heard him introduce that this Lin is a woman, just like us. You see, she can write so many words that I don't know, better than the boys at school. There are so many, it’s amazing.”
——It was a collection of poems by Lin Huiyin.
Ni Chujing was nine years old that year. When she went to ask her parents, they would only tell her that girls only need to learn to work, and that their future mission is to marry and have children.
"Do you want to go out and see the outside world?"
This condition is very attractive.
She and Xu Limeng cut pig grass and sold them together, secretly saved tuition fees, and made an agreement that belonged to them.
In the poor mountains of that era, the fate of most girls was not in their own hands. If Xu Limeng hadn't met, perhaps her life would have been like many girls at that time, getting married and having children at a young age, and living a humble and dull life After meeting Xu Limeng, she began to yearn for the illustrations in textbooks, words, and life on the other side of the mountain.
Later, with the help of supporting teachers and people who came here to do charity, she and Xu Limeng realized their dream of studying, but they fell out with their family.
They didn't recognize this daughter, and even threatened to sever the relationship, which was shameful.
Ni Chujing and Xu Limeng came to City A when they were in their thirties.Before that, they lived up to the expectations of their sponsors and became teachers successfully. When they were young, they often went to the mountains to teach.
After the age of 30, Xu Limeng's health became very poor, and a tumor was found in her body.
The medical conditions in the countryside cannot be met, so I can only move to the city to live.
At that time, they lived in Tongyan Alley and lived for several years.
One day, Xu Limeng joked to her: "Why aren't you married yet? You're almost unmarried at this age."
Ni Chujing said: "If you can't get married, you won't get married."
Under the pear tree that spring, Xu Limeng's smile was as warm as the pear blossoms on the branch: "Then I won't get married either, Jingzi, or we can make do with it."
Another spring, Xu Limeng's condition worsened. The doctor didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that her days were numbered.
She asked Ni Chujing to take her home once. Ni Chujing endured the pain in her heart and sat by the back door with her for a long time.
Before his death, Xu Limeng said the last words to her: "You are the most important... lover in my life."
I just remember that the pear blossoms that year were as white as the sheets in the ward.
..
The laughter of children came from the alley in the distance.
Sheng Muxi only knew that Ni Chujing was a very good teacher, but he didn't know that there were these stories behind her.
Grandma Liu passed away a few days later.
I heard from people in the alley that the old man had specially put on new clothes, and as usual, sat alone at the door and dozed off, but he never woke up after that sleep.
Grandma Liu's children are out of town, and the neighbors are busy handling the funeral affairs.
Standing quietly in front of the grave, Chai Qianning held Sheng Muxi's hand tightly.
She didn't know that a few days ago, Grandma Liu suddenly told them about Ni Chujing's past. Did she already have a premonition that she was about to die.Therefore, seeing that the two of them often come to Ni Chujing's house, I hope they can visit Ni Chujing more often.
The old man is a kind-hearted person. She was lonely in her later years, but before she died, she still thought about her neighbors.
The dense drizzle washed the green leaves, and there was a mist on the mountain.
Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi followed Ni Chujing to visit Xu Limeng's grave.
The tomb was covered with weeds, and Ni Chujing cleaned it with a sickle.
Knowing that the other party didn't want them to help, Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi just stood aside and watched quietly.
Sheng Muxi led Chai Qianning, put the umbrella on top of Ni Chujing's head, and stood there for a while, no one spoke, but without saying anything, there was a strong touch, growing with the spring breeze.
A few months later, summer came again.
Sheng Muxi had thought about taking Ni Chujing over to live with him. Chai Qianning also agreed with this matter.
But in the end, Ni Chujing's wish was respected.Also, in Tongwan Alley, there is everything she cares about most.
Ni Chujing reassured them that although she lived alone, she was very familiar with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and she could find someone to chat with if she had nothing to do, and she could also spend time with the old people in the alley during the holidays.
The cicadas sing loudly in July.
I still remember that last year, Chai Qianning and Sheng Muxi had only met each other not long ago, and they were just ordinary neighbors at that time.
Chai Qianning is hibernating, sleepy in spring, exhausted in summer and weak in autumn.
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, her unchanging habit is to stay in bed.
In order to change Chai Qianning's habit of staying in bed, Sheng Muxi took her for a morning run on a whim during the summer vacation.
Get up at [-]:[-] every morning and go for a run in the park at [-]:[-]. Chai Qianning wakes up every day as if she has lost her soul. It seems that her face, arms, and legs are all coated with super glue, sticking to the bed and not leaving. Let it go, when you get to the park, you still have to stick to Shengmuxi, and you can't even pull it out.
Sheng Muxi led her to run, Chai Qianning fell behind, her body was moving, but her soul seemed to be asleep.
So Sheng Muxi had to walk slowly instead, and Chai Qianning yawned as she faced the trees and the grass.
It's not easy to develop good habits. It's only halfway through the summer vacation, and Sheng Muxi has already given up saving her lazy cancer.
So the picture of waking up every morning changed to that of Chai Qianning seeing the sunlight leaking in from the window, always making a fuss: "You didn't wake me up today."
However, under the influence of Sheng Muxi's meal, she still wakes up naturally at seven or eight o'clock every day.
Waking up in the morning of Qingming, Sheng Muxi had already gone to school.When Chai Qianning opened the refrigerator, she would see a post-it note on the refrigerator with Sheng Muxi's delicate handwriting on it: Don't drink ice in the morning, or I will hit you.
There is also a stick figure drawn next to it.
Chai Qianning pinched the corner of the post-it note with her fingers and smiled slightly.
