Chapter 3

Early the next morning, Cheng Wanqiu followed Grandma Cheng and Cheng Qinqin to the cemetery in the outer suburbs with his father's ashes, and buried the ashes next to his grandfather.

Grandma Cheng knelt down on the ground to sort out the offerings, only then did Cheng Wanqiu know what was in the bag brought by Wang Bo yesterday.

Flowers and offerings are allowed in the cemetery, but the administrator of the cemetery will clean it up after a while.

Cheng Wanqiu bought two bouquets of white chrysanthemums on the way here, one was placed in front of his grandfather's tombstone, and the other was placed in front of his father's tombstone.

He has no memory of his grandpa, only his father said that his grandpa passed away when he was very young, and he also hugged him when he was very young, but he didn't remember anything at that time.

It was almost afternoon when I returned to Taoyuan Village after finishing all my work. The village was quiet, and no children were heard playing. Cheng Qinqin helped Grandma Cheng to walk in front, and Cheng Wanqiu walked behind with her things. The three walked towards the corner where the commissary was located one after the other.

Cheng Wanqiu saw it from a distance. With a cigarette in his mouth, Lin Chu was squatting in the shade outside the canteen. He was wearing a white vest, a pair of gray trousers, and a ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling in the canteen. The wind was strong, and the whistling wind messed up his fine-looking pink hair.

Lin Chu also saw him, his dark eyes were bottomless, he glanced at him indifferently and then slowly moved away, his somewhat thin lips parted slightly, exhaling a puff of white smoke.

Breathless, a little decadent but still beautiful.

Cheng Wanqiu's eyes fell on him unconsciously, Grandma Cheng and Cheng Qinqin had already walked a certain distance, and he was still standing still.

Lin Chu had always thought of him as air, but he couldn't stand this man standing a few steps in front of him like a giant Buddha, with his long and narrow eyes slanting impatiently, "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Wanqiu pursed her lips silently. From the first meeting to now, Lin Chu had spoken three sentences to him in total, namely why are you laughing, what are you doing and what are you looking at.

The expression and tone are quite fierce, but none of the words are lethal.

Cheng Wanqiu looked at him with a smile and shook his head, turned around and left without saying anything, without looking back.

Lin Chu is a bit short-sighted, and he will habitually squint his eyes when he can't see clearly. When Cheng Wanqiu walks away, he squints to look at Cheng Wanqiu's back.

The owner of the canteen is an old man in his sixties. The canteen opened here before Lin Chu was born, so he knows many things about many people in the village.

Grandma Cheng and the others passed by the door just now and he was watching TV all the time. Because the Cheng family had a funeral, it was inconvenient for the uncle to say hello. He sighed when they left and turned to Lin Chu who was squatting outside: "Son Cheng Yan, just came He came back from abroad with his father's ashes. He is quite handsome. Although he is not as handsome as you, he is still very handsome. Girls nowadays like to look mature and stable, and they will live their lives. You should learn more from others, or you will look handsome Even a fairy can't marry a wife."

Lin Chu usually bought cigarettes, water, and instant noodles with him. He was a big customer of his canteen, so the uncle had a good relationship with him, and they would chat a little when they were free.

Lin Chu pulled his lips silently after hearing this, "I don't want to marry a wife."

"What are you going to do if you don't marry a wife? All men have to marry a wife to live."

"I don't delay people."

"Correct if there is something wrong."

"I'm fine."

"Your biggest problem is your smelly face. Most people dare not talk to you."

"Then how dare you?"

"I am your uncle, not an ordinary person."

Lin Chu bit his cigarette and laughed, without sarcasm or coldness.

After smoking a cigarette, he got up and patted his butt, took a bottle of frozen mineral water from the freezer behind him, scanned the QR code on WeChat and paid two yuan, "Then I'm leaving, sir."

The uncle was watching TV, and he waved his hand at him when he heard this, "It's hot, don't run around, be careful of heatstroke."

"understood."

Lin Chu lived not far from the canteen, just in front of the crooked-neck tree. The only valuable thing his bastard father left him was a dilapidated house.

It was really broken, only one floor, sandwiched between two floors, it looked very pitiful.

Lin Chu pushed open the simple and peeling iron door, and the room was dark, except for the most basic furniture, there were no other superfluous things.

Lin Chu casually put the frozen mineral water he bought on the table, took off his vest, went into the bathroom, and took a cold shower. dripping water.

The nature of his work is quite special, he only goes to work at night, and sleeps at home during the day, his work and rest are completely opposite to others, and he goes out at night.

It was still early and he was going to sleep. He turned on his phone and looked at WeChat. There were many lively group chats, but only Brother Dong came to him with a short sentence.

[Things are taken care of, don't worry. ]

Lin Chu didn't pay much attention to it, and turned off the phone with an OK expression, and lay down on the bed with wet hair to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Cheng Wanqiu's face and the pair of bosses appeared in his mind inexplicably. It was looking into his eyes.

Lin Chu clicked his tongue in annoyance, turned over and threw Cheng Wanqiu out of the blue, and concentrated on sleeping.

Uncle Wang has a son named Wang Jinyuan. It is said that this name was given by Grandma Cheng.

Wang Jinyuan was two years younger than Cheng Wanqiu. In the evening, he brought a plate of fried mending meatloaf and a bowl of pickled radish to relieve the greasy.

At that time, Cheng Wanqiu was squatting by the water lily pond to watch the fish, when she saw a young man calling Grandma Cheng and Aunt Qin to come in, she got up and said hello, "Hello."

As soon as Wang Jinyuan saw him, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face. His thick eyebrows and big eyes were very pleasing, "Brother Wanqiu! Have you eaten yet?"

Cheng Wanqiu smiled and shook her head, "Not yet."

"Then try the door nail meat pie."

As soon as Wang Jinyuan finished speaking, Cheng Qinqin poked his head out from the kitchen, "Xiaoyuan?"

"Aunt Qin, my dad asked me to send some meatloaf for you to try."

Cheng Qinqin glanced at the plate in his hand, the meatloaf was piled up like a hill, and it was hard for Wang Jinyuan to bring it all the way, and hurriedly said: "It's so embarrassing, you brought so much, can your family have enough to eat?" ?”

"Enough to eat, my mother made a lot today."

Cheng Wanqiu took the plates and bowls from Wang Jinyuan, and said softly, "I'll do it."

Wang Jinyuan was stunned for a moment. He was used to the loud voices of the people around him, and his own voice was not low. Now when he saw Cheng Wanqiu, who was gentle and refined, he spoke softly, and subconsciously lowered his own voice. As if scaring people, "Hey, brother, eat more..."

Cheng Qinqin smiled and said to Wang Jinyuan: "Xiaoyuan, Aunt Qin made pig's trotters with cold noodles tonight, you stay to eat some, and then bring some back."

The relationship between the Wang family and the Cheng family is very good. Wang Jinyuan loves to eat meat. When Cheng Qinqin asked him to stay and eat, he didn't shirk it. He thanked him and ran into the living room.

Cheng Wanqiu was putting the things he brought on the table, and Grandma Cheng was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when Wang Jinyuan came in and saw her obediently called Grandma Cheng.

Grandma Cheng smiled at him, "Xiao Yuan is here, sit down quickly and talk to your brother Wanqiu for a while."

Cheng Wanqiu turned around and asked Wang Jinyuan with a smile, "Your name is Xiaoyuan?"

"Yes, Wang Jinyuan, Grandma Cheng chose the name, brother, why do you call it Wanqiu?" Wang Jinyuan didn't have the nerve to say that he thought the name was like a girl's name.

"I was born in late autumn."

"Oh~"

Cheng Qinqin came in with a large bowl of pig's trotters and cold noodles, and gave the two biggest bowls to the two young men with crooked smiles, and asked, "Xiaoyuan, I heard from your father that you recently I fell in love and made a girlfriend, isn't it true?"

Wang Jinyuan's tanned face was not obvious, but he could still see that he was shy, "It's true."

Cheng Qinqin smiled even more happily, and let out a ouch, "If I bring it home some other day, let Aunt Qin take a look at it?"

Wang Jinyuan showed his white teeth in a smile, and nodded vigorously.

Cheng Qinqin turned to look at Cheng Wanqiu, "Where's Xiaoqiu?"

Cheng Wanqiu was mixing cold noodles when she heard Cheng Qinqin's words and raised her eyes in doubt.

"Xiaoyuan is two years younger than you, have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Cheng Wanqiu shook her head slowly, she didn't say that she likes men, but said: "No, I just let nature take its course."

"Well, feelings also depend on fate."

After dinner, it was already almost eight o'clock, Cheng Wanqiu followed Wang Jinyuan home with the fruit he bought during the day, he couldn't do anything with the things in both hands.

The two chatted as they walked, and when they reached the corner of the canteen, it happened that Lin Chu also came out from the dimly lit intersection.

He was wearing a black T-shirt with a pink Violent Bear printed on it, which matched his pink fur very well.

And different from the previous few times, Lin Chu's appearance this time is better than the sum of the previous few times. First of all, the pink hair looks like it has been taken care of. There are black earrings and a silver necklace around his neck.

The impeccable side face was casual and cold, with a very special kind of slack. When he came out, he glanced at Cheng Wanqiu and the others from the corner of his eye, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village without stopping for a second.

Wang Jinyuan has long been used to it, so he muttered, "Why is he still working there..."

Cheng Wanqiu didn't ask Lin Chu curiously until he lost sight of him, "Do you know his job?"

"Yes, he works in a bar."

"Bar?" Cheng Wanqiu was a little surprised, "Is he a bartender?"

"No, it's the waiter."

Cheng Wanqiu looked bewildered, and couldn't believe that Lin Chu's semi-permanent stinky face was capable of this job, "... he is a waiter?"

"That's right, that's the biggest bar in the town. I heard that the owner there is his friend and takes good care of him. Lin Chu worked illegally there when he was a teenager."

"He didn't go to school?"

"He came out before finishing high school, because someone always picked him up for fights, and he was expelled from the school for serious violations of discipline."

Cheng Wanqiu frowned when he heard that, Wang Jinyuan had already walked forward, "Actually, he didn't work in the bar at first, it was because he got into some trouble while working in the milk tea shop, there is no way, if the bar owner didn't protect him, It's hard to say what will happen to him."

"What do you mean?"

"Lin Chu's face caused him a lot of trouble, and it was easy to provoke perverts. Those who like to play with men always harassed him, which made it difficult for him to do business in the milk tea shop. Lin Chu needed this job very much at that time. He has a bad temper, and he has black hands. One day, someone followed him after work and was almost beaten to death by him."

Cheng Wanqiu frowned even tighter: "That man was almost killed, didn't he deserve it?"

"...Yes, but that person has some background in his family. Anyway, I heard that the bar owner helped him settle the matter. After that, Lin Chu went to work in that bar, and has been there ever since."
