It's you, I think you have forgotten the pain of dental caries. "

When Pei Han woke up in the afternoon, he saw that these two people were fighting cocks, and they ignored each other.

He found himself something to eat without being surprised, and he was still thinking about something.

Sister Xue answered the phone and said her mother asked when they would be home.As an authentic Northeast native, Sister Xue's family is of course rooted in Hainan.

The mother-in-law's family is also very kind, and they have been taking good care of Pei Han after the accident.Every winter, it was cold and wet in the city, and Pei Han was always uncomfortable, so he urged them to go to Hainan.In previous years, Pei Xu followed him, and of course he will go with him this year.

Pei Xu asked his brother to go first, and then left by himself at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

Brother and sister-in-law exchanged glances.

Pei Xu's bad deeds are all over the front, skipping classes and fighting in high school and causing troubles are still vivid in my memory. Although after the second year of high school, he changed his past like a ghost, the couple are still a little worried.

After weighing again and again, the two parties each backed down.The couple decided to leave with Pei Xu two days later, and Pei Xu also had to advance the flight ticket scheduled for the end of the twelfth lunar month a few days earlier.

Zhong Jurui wrote the code in a daze.

He used to be able to sit still, but now that his leg is injured, he doesn't have to go anywhere, and he is like an old monk in meditation.

The mother-in-law said once every time she passed by: "I keep staring at the computer, do I still need eyes?"

When Zhong Jurui was given a break for the fourth time, Zhong Jurui sighed and decided to immediately place an order for the electric sewing machine.When the mother-in-law has a new gadget, she won't be around him all the time.

Grandma wasn't there when the goods were delivered, and a nearby supermarket opened a big bargain, with a lottery to give away beer, and grandma followed Chen Xiaoju next door to join in the fun.Although no one in their family drinks beer, the free beer cannot be avoided.Grandma said, if you don't take something that you don't take for nothing, it will be a blood loss if you don't take it.

Zhong Jurui leaned on crutches and didn't know how to unpack it. Pei Xu came to report again.

This time I brought the egg tarts baked by Sister Xue.

In Zhong Jurui's eyes, there is no egg tart, only a living labor force, waving a crutch and directing Pei Xu to move the old sewing machine aside to make room for a new one.

"Grandma is not young anymore, why bother her with buying a sewing machine?" Pei Xu slashed open the express package and asked, "It's better to let her rest."

"Mother-in-law's personality is not good when she is idle." It's not that Zhong Jurui has never thought about this matter. After thinking about it, he can't just focus on his filial piety and not understand her mother-in-law's mood.The old lady who has been toiling all her life wants to join in the fun even when she draws a lottery beer. Letting her relax is no different from treating her like a useless person.Compared with physical fatigue, the old lady can't stand being a "useless old bone".He had secretly greeted his neighbors before, and processed semi-finished clothes for his grandmother to order, but instead, his grandmother was anxious, getting angry and suffering from mouth ulcers.

Zhong Jurui had no choice but to let the old lady go.She is very busy, as long as she is not sick, she can talk about anything.

Neither of the two men in the room had ever used a new sewing machine.Zhong Jurui used to help his grandmother step on the old-fashioned one, but unfortunately now he has a bad foot and it is inconvenient to fumble around.

While studying the instructions, grandma came back with two bottles of beer, talking about their lottery with relish.When I saw the new sewing machine, my eyes lit up.

She scolded Zhong Jurui for wasting money recklessly, and when she learned that Zhong Jurui was working part-time, she scolded: "You make some money yourself, buy some delicious food and drink, why waste it on it!"

His mouth was very unhappy, but his hands kept rubbing.

Chen Xiaoju happened to come to visit their house, her voice was like a trumpet, and she praised Zhong Jurui for her filial piety.

The old lady straightened her back and looked proud.

The two old ladies concentrated on studying the sewing machine, Zhong Jurui said to Pei Xunuo, "Come out with me, I've been stuck at home for a few days."

Their relationship stagnated at the stage of no ups and downs. They neither opened the window paper, nor did they stand in a stalemate with their eyes darkened.A touch of tacit understanding, a touch of ambiguity, everything is a touch, and no one wants to break it.

Or, two people are playing a game of "Don't move, wooden man" with great interest, just to see who can't help it first.

Pei Xu is very good at acting like a baby, and the coaxing old lady likes it very much.He came here for a few meals, boasting as if he didn't need money, whether he was helping his mother-in-law or moving a seat for Zhong Jurui, he was very diligent.

One night, grandma quietly asked Zhong Jurui: "Be honest, is this Xiao Xu the one who bumped into you?" Zhong Jurui couldn't laugh or cry.

Pei Xu told him that he would go to Hainan with his brother and sister Xue to celebrate the New Year, and he would come back after the year.

Zhong Jurui nodded, and deliberately said: "Finally, there are a few days of clean life."

Pei Xu said firmly, "You're duplicity." His voice was coquettish: "When you have time, think about me a little bit. Don't think too deeply, just think superficially, okay?"

Zhong Jurui just pretended not to hear, pointed to the door and said: "There is a bus in 5 minutes, if you miss it, you have to wait for another half an hour."

When leaving, Pei Xu was grinning, thinking, Zhong Jurui didn't say no.

Pei Xu didn't show up for seven or eight days, and grandma was not used to it. While preparing to post Spring Festival couplets, she said, "The house still needs a lot of people to be lively. Xiao Xu misses him a lot if he doesn't come for a few days."

Zhong Jurui stared at the computer screen, thinking: "Who says it's not?"

But this guy has no intention of connecting with him on the Internet, and only greets him every morning and evening, which makes Zhong Jurui worry about gains and losses, and blames himself for being sentimental.

However, this is not Pei Xu's routine, some unpleasant things did happen to him, so that he has no intention of flirting.

Sister Xue is a distant relative who is also celebrating the New Year in Hainan this year. We eat together, drink too much wine, and talk a lot when drunk. Speaking of the past when he introduced a blind date to Sister Xue, Sister Xue was unwilling and insisted on marrying Pei Han. Now Well, she bought a house in Beijing and is planning to have a second child. As for Sister Xue, her husband is disabled.

The expressions of the people at the table were all wrong.

"I think you drank too much!" An elder scolded the man, not letting him speak without restraint.

Pei Han drank with his head down and didn't say anything.Pei Xu didn't want to cause trouble for Sister Xue's family, so she endured it all the time.

At that time, Sister Xue's refusal made this relative lose face, and he had been brooding about it, thinking that Sister Xue didn't know what was good and bad, but this time the drunken words came out of his head: "Who has what life, maybe you are Kefu? It’s better not to tell others.”

Sister Xue's parents' expressions changed.

Can't bear it.Pei Xu moved his wrists.The first rule of Pei's family motto is that outsiders say anyone can do it, but Sister Xue can't do it.

He got up with a "sigh", grabbed a wine bottle and knocked it down on the person's head.

The shards of the wine bottle pierced people's face with blood.The man yelled.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded.

Pei Xu pointed at the man's nose expressionlessly: "Try talking about my sister again?"

☆、Chapter 12

Because there were many relatives and friends present, the farce ended quickly. The other party was cursing and trying to lift the table, but was stopped by several people and taken to the hospital for treatment of the wound.

Sister Xue's parents were also very angry at that person who could not speak clearly, but many times you can't choose your relatives, and when you meet one or two top-notch ones, be careful not to scold your eighth-generation ancestors as well, there is nothing better Solution.Although Pei Xu was too impulsive to hit someone, considering the reason, Sister Xue's family didn't really blame her, they just said that she shouldn't do it, and that she just doesn't want to associate with that uncle and grandpa in the future.

However, Pei Han was furious.

He seriously wants to have a talk with Pei Xu.

"If you are capable, you will hit people with a wine bottle."

Sister Xue wanted to be a peacemaker, but was kicked out by Pei Han. He locked the door and stood face to face with Pei Xu.

"Then what should we do?"

"Couldn't you just pretend you didn't hear this kind of ignorant person? You also know he's unqualified. Do you have to make yourself even more unqualified? Is it so fun to beat someone?"

"Yes." Pei Xu said frankly, "It's very cool."

Pei Han was almost pissed off.He has always suspected that Pei Xu has a repressed paranoid character in his body. He can't make others happy when he is upset. They might even blow up the south wall altogether.

The atmosphere was stagnant today, Pei Xu even skipped the quarrel, no one expected his sudden attack.Pei Han was really worried about what kind of troubles this kind of personality would cause in the future.

"My lord is not in his early years, why are you rushing out? Have you thought about the consequences? Can't you control yourself?"

"My lord just wants to perfunctory the past and make money with kindness. But I don't want to make him happy. Why doesn't he control himself when he's mean?"

Pei Han also had nothing to say, and finally said seriously: "You are an adult yourself."

Pei Xu also knew that his brother was afraid that that person would cause trouble, so he silently brought a chair and asked his brother to sit down.

"Pei Xu, the first step in maturity is knowing how to give in. Sometimes, you just enjoy yourself for a while, but there will be endless troubles. You don't have the energy to get entangled with garbage. When you encounter garbage, you should get rid of yourself early and stay far away. Everything is fine. You never know how low other people's bottom line is and what they can do." Pei Han bit a cigarette, his fingers trembling, and failed to light it several times.

Pei Xu also silently took out one from Pei Han's cigarette case, lit it, and didn't smoke it, he held it between his fingers, staring at the flickering cigarette butt.

It seems that there is no need to talk so much about the dialogue between men.

Sister Xue carefully eavesdropped outside the door, very worried about Pei Xu——Pei Han had a very scary expression when he taught someone a lesson.She was still thinking about her words, but when she smelled the smoke, Sister Xue immediately knocked on the door.

"Pei Han! You're smoking again!"

Pei Han quickly pinched out his cigarette, and took a big gulp of coffee on the table.When Sister Xue twisted the door and came in, she saw Pei Han scolding Pei Xu fiercely.

"Have you learned to smoke yet?! Who do you not learn from? When did you buy cigarettes?"

Pei Xu still had a cigarette butt between his fingers: "..."

Pei Han pointed at Pei Xu, said with a headache on his face: "Xiaoxue, you see he is mad at me, he doesn't think much of me anymore."

Pei Xu blinked and blinked: "..."

So Sister Xue earnestly persuaded Pei Xu not to get into bad habits, Pei Xu endured it for a while, and said, "You two go out, I don't really want to chat with you and your wife."

In order to let Pei Xu understand the importance of "peace of mind", the family made a special trip to worship the Buddha.Sister Xue's family believed in Buddhism very much. After Pei Han's accident, they even believed in the blessing of Buddha in the dark, so they were frequent pilgrims at Nanshan Temple.

After a routine visit to worship and eating fast, Pei Han said: "You can stay here for two days, sit in meditation with the master, and we will pick you up on the [-]th of the year."

Sister Xue also handed over the bag she had been carrying: "I brought you a change of clothes, too."

There was no room for Pei Xu to refuse.

Pei Xu was taken to the guest room inexplicably, changed into dusty clothes, and began to meditate.Since it's a meditation practice, it's a pure discipline, so it's not good to keep holding your phone.He listened to the evening class, and the monks chanted scriptures in a low voice, which made him a little drowsy.

Every day is too simple, as if there is nothing to do except to live.

While he was sitting in meditation, Pei Han went to deal with the aftermath for him.It doesn't mean that it can be solved perfectly without communication.Fortunately, the man was wronged after he sobered up, so he didn't make any progress.

Zhong Jurui had a headache writing the code. The Golden Snake project was not an ordinary pitfall. What was even worse was that a colleague ran away after winning the year-end award, leaving behind a lot of things to finish.He couldn't help but start to regret that he shouldn't have acted impulsively, and just promised Jin Snake like this, causing himself to be in such pain now.

The mother-in-law sat at the door and stirred the minced meat to make lion heads.

"Aren't you going to Zhong Jianxing this year?"

"Don't go."

"His wife even called to ask if you want to have a New Year's Eve dinner."

Zhong Jurui used his eyes too much, and rubbed his eyes tiredly: "The cat is crying and the mouse is pretending to be merciful."

The mother-in-law thought of Pei Xu and said, "Having a father is better than not having a father. I don't even know how many years I can live. In the future..."

"I don't have a father." Zhong Jurui said absently.He just stared at the bug that couldn't be debugged, hoping to use his thoughts to make it suddenly normal.Glancing at grandma's thin back, my mind was slow to think about what grandma said just now.

"Bah, bah, bah, you live a hundred years, two hundred and three hundred years."

The mother-in-law sneered and said, "That's not a bastard." After thinking about it, she said, "You don't think I'm old, so I will take care of your children in the future, okay?"

Zhong Jurui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring you all, string them together, and follow behind you."

The mother-in-law was happy thinking about it, she patted her buttocks and got up, forgetting what she wanted to do, she just thought about it for a long time, and said, "What am I going to bring?"

Zhong Jurui put himself into work again, his fingers were frozen stiff in the winter, all thanks to the slight heat from the broken computer vent.

The old lady still didn't think about it, so she had to continue to do what she was doing. When the oil was poured into the pot, she realized that she forgot to add horseshoes, so she had to turn off the fire and continue making stuffing.

"It's really old, and my memory is so bad."

The New Year's Eve of the grandparents and grandchildren was not very lively, but fortunately, the background music of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV was very noisy, which brought out a little bit of the New Year's atmosphere.

"Who is this host? I haven't seen it before, Zhu Jun won't be on this year?" The mother-in-law gave Zhong Jurui extra food.

"I don't know either."

"Then is there Zhao Benshan this year?"

"It seems not."

"That's so boring." The mother-in-law said regretfully, "His is the most interesting every year, why hasn't he come out for several years."

While talking one after another, Zhong Jurui saw the screen of the phone light up.

"Burning the head incense, sincere heart; praying for the early years, deep love. Before the bell of the farewell year has not sounded, I flew to you like a magpie early in the spring, just for the most sincere blessings. Zhong Jianxing and his family , I wish you good luck and good luck.”

Bulk.

I don't know if this person brought the whole family with him or not.

Zhong Jurui read it twice and deleted the text message.

Unlike women who are born with maternal love for a piece of flesh that falls from their bodies, fatherly love is acquired and has lost the opportunity to get along day and night. Zhong Jurui's relationship between father and son is very shallow.When he wasn't too bothered, Zhong Jianxing was like a distant relative who didn't move around very much. On a few occasions, this relative was very annoying when he pointed fingers.

Since the harsh words in the mall, they have had little contact, and Zhong Jianxing probably has a good opinion of him.

But who cares what he thinks?

After the New Year's Eve dinner, my mother-in-law insisted on watching the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and then sat on the sofa to take a nap.The elderly can no longer keep their age.

Zhong Jurui handed the electric hot water bottle to grandma's arms, held it for her, and continued to work on that cheating project by himself.The injured foot was placed on a small bench next to it, and after a long period of inactivity, half of the leg became numb.

Zhong Jurui complained endlessly, thinking to himself, if he had known about taking on some other job, he wouldn't have to continue doing it on New Year's Eve.

The phone screen lit up again, Zhong Jurui clicked on it, all the groups were very lively, and there were several private messages of his blessings.Sliding to the bottom, I saw the message Pei Xu sent two hours ago.

"This is an enchanted blessing that only those who have thought about me can see."

Accompanied by an emoticon bag with raised brows.

After much deliberation, Zhong Jurui replied: "This is a magical reply, only [-] can see it."

"I'll look for you after two hundred and five years."

Zhong Jurui replied: "Farewell, let me go, let me take a good rest."

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Xu came back alone.

He didn't say that he had already boarded the 612 bus. When he was about to arrive, he used the phone of the canteen on the side of the road to call Zhong Jurui, with a slight accent on purpose, and asked him to pick up the courier at the entrance of the alley.

"Hurry up and get it, I have to go back to celebrate the New Year!"

Grandma Zhong Jurui didn't know which neighbor's poker table she was going to see. He had to go out by himself, moving slowly with a cane.

There is a supermarket at the entrance of the alley, which is still open during the Spring Festival. From a distance, Zhong Jurui heard the music of shaking the car at the entrance of the supermarket: "Daddy's dad is grandpa..."

He raised his head, looking for the courier brother, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

Pei Xu was sitting in a pleasant goat-shaped rocking car, with nowhere to put his two long legs, so he simply put them on the ground.The whole person swayed to the rhythm of the rocking car, and a colorful light on Pleasant Goat's head illuminated his satisfied expression.

——There was a child next to him who couldn't play with the rocking car, crying loudly.

Pei Xu waved his hand, smiled like a spring breeze, and uttered Big Big Wolf's classic line: "As I said, I will come back!"

It seems to be thinner.Zhong Jurui thought in a daze.

Pei Xu finally got off the rocking car, carried the child into the car, threw in two more coins, and said disgustedly, "Why are you crying? I just let you play."

He walked up to Zhong Jurui with long legs, and said in a dragged voice: "You are still on crutches, it seems that it is very inconvenient to move, can I do whatever I want?"

Zhong Jurui didn't want to be seen strange things at the door of his house, so he curled his lips and turned around.

Pei Xu was not splashed with cold water, and still enthusiastically said: "I heard it's snowing? I didn't see anything when I got off the plane. I'm disappointed."

"It rained a little the day before yesterday, and it disappeared after half an hour, not even snow."

"It's a rare snowfall in this city. It's too sad to miss it like this. The last time it snowed was several years ago."

Zhong Jurui pushed open the door of his house and said, "It will snow again."

"Will you watch with me?"

"What's so nice about snow. See for yourself."

Pei Xu grabbed Zhong Jurui's wrist: "Then what if I missed it?"

Zhong Jurui thought to himself what a big deal this could be, the whole of China is so big, it doesn't snow here, it snows there, it's not a rare thing.Just as I was about to take out my hand, I felt a chill on my wrist. It was a lobular red sandalwood bracelet.

"It's been opened, and I've eaten vegetarian food for several days for this thing." Pei Xu grabbed Zhong Jurui's hand that wanted to take it off, "Even if it's only for a few days, don't take it off."

Zhong Jurui looked down, and heard Pei Xu say: "This is a wish. I have recited it to the Bodhisattva many times. It is said that it is very spiritual."

Probably to keep him safe.Zhong Jurui didn't take it to heart, grandma also liked to make safety charms, small copper coins with red strings, and the family used to have them.

Pei Xu said meaningfully: "Whoever seeks luck, whoever is tied to him, is mine. It is us who are destined to take root."

Zhongju Ruihu's body shook, and he wanted to swear.

The author has something to say: Numerous exams and final assignments will be suspended for one week next week, and will resume after June 6.I'm off to fight the end of term!

☆、Chapter 13

Zhong Jurui sighed, and looked outside the door. Her mother-in-law probably wouldn't be back until meal time, so she limped down the corridor and sat in the rocking chair, which creaked.Pei Xu followed and pulled up a small bench. His legs were curled up and uncomfortable, and he straightened up and directly stepped over the two steps of the door, sitting obediently.

"Pei Xu, I actually don't understand what you want to do." After a while of silence, Zhong Jurui spoke, frowning with a confused expression.

"If I remember correctly, I seem to have informed you a long time ago that I was chasing you." Pei Xu propped his chin with one hand, saw a wild cat jump from the wall into the yard, found a corner and lay down, The tail is tucked away to bask in the sun.

"That's it, I don't understand it even more." Zhong Jurui thought to himself.

Not only did he not understand, but he had been troubled for a long time.A gust of wind fell from the sky, strong and provocative.At first, he was bluffed by Pei Xu's routine of moving from far and near, so that he didn't know how to fight back. Later, he had an indescribable feeling while watching.No one can refuse the approach of another fiery heart.When he realized that his eyes were looking in one direction intentionally or unintentionally, and his principles gradually became less indestructible, Zhong Jurui finally started to alarm in his heart.

It's not about refusing to fall in love.

He didn't think there was any conflict between falling in love and his life, and falling in love with a boy... wasn't that difficult to accept.The question is why Pei Xu wants to fall in love with him.From past experience, Zhong Jurui understands that if the appearance of a person makes your life full of expectations, you must be prepared to bear the pain that his departure will bring to you.Pei Xu's evil wind came too suddenly, without any warning, and it also filled him with a sense of distrust.

——It is absolutely impossible for a lover from heaven to fall in love with him at first sight and not regret anything in this life.

If Zhong Jurui's objective rating of his own luck is added, a person like him who has little family, friendship, and fate is even more unlucky to endure this kind of plot.

So he didn't intend to be passive.

Pei Xu stared at the lazy cat in the yard with great interest, and heard Zhong Jurui's slow and deep voice.

"Let me tell you the truth, I'm not made of stone. If you dangle in front of my eyes from time to time, everyone will be shaken."

Pei Xu immediately grasped the point, with sly eyes: "Oh? Are you shaken?"

"I'm shaken." Zhong Jurui looked directly at Pei Xu very frankly, "You said you were chasing me, but I was indeed considering the possibility."

This straight ball came a bit suddenly.Pei Xu's heart shrank suddenly, and he was suddenly not sure what Zhong Jurui wanted to say.

Zhong Jurui sat upright: "Pei Xu, in love, there are serious ways to play it seriously, and non-serious ways to play it seriously. What kind of way do you mean you want to fall in love with me?"

Just as Pei Xu was about to speak, Zhong Jurui interrupted him: "I don't think you want to play seriously. You didn't intend to impress me at all. All your actions were done on a whim, and you didn't care about my reaction. As a result, you enjoy the process even more.”

"Care about your reaction?" Pei Xu laughed, "Senior Ju Rui, I know a little bit about your embarrassment. Those girls who care about your reaction can see Do Not Disturb strangers written on your body two miles away from you. Dare to move forward. If I cared about your reaction, would it be possible for the two of us to bask in the sun together with peace of mind." He raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "As for whether you are serious about it, do you have any countermeasures? So what if I'm serious, so what if I'm not serious?"

Zhong Jurui thought to himself, I can't do anything, I don't know the opponent's bargaining chip, so I have no confidence at the beginning.This uneasy feeling made him very uncomfortable.In fact, he is a person with a strong desire for control, and he needs everything to be on the track he planned in order to have a sufficient sense of security.

Pei Xu squatted in front of Zhong Jurui, not missing the change in his expression.He suddenly realized what he might have done wrong—blindly pursuing the pleasure of hunting, but forgetting that Zhong Jurui was not actually his enemy. Since he was not an enemy, there was no such thing as a prisoner.His routines, his tactics, are useful enough to attract Zhong Jurui's attention, but it also makes him deeply doubt his own motives.

Pei Xu knocked his chin on the armrest of the rocking chair, lazily like that cat basking in the sun.Before Zhong Jurui pushed him away, he said: "Then let's go slowly."

Zhong Jurui asked in surprise: "How slow?"

"Adjust the progress bar to when we first met." Pei Xu got up and stretched, and extended a hand to Zhong Jurui, "Hello senior, I am Pei Xu, a freshman in the new school. Coincidentally, we High school is also an alumni. Out of trust in the status of the senior of the high school, I joined "Randian" almost without consideration, but it turned out that you didn't come to the regular meeting at all. Senior, I hope you will actively participate in club activities in the future."

This passage is half-truth and half-false, which will probably make Zhong Jurui feel at ease.

The truth is, they are indeed high school alumni.

The lie is that when he went to the club to recruit new people, he was actually trying his luck to see if he could meet Zhong Jurui, but he didn't expect to be so naive.

"High school alumni?" Zhong Jurui heard of it for the first time.

He still wanted to ask again, but Pei Xu had already raised an index finger on his lips: "Hey, when we read the article until we first met, I didn't intend to express my love to you, it's enough to know this level .”

A serious reading article, inexplicably funny.

Zhong Jurui covered his face and said, "Oh, let's talk next time."

Now that he has just met, Pei Xu has no reason to stay here. He looked at his watch and was about to leave when Zhong Jurui grabbed his cuff.

"Hand out."

Pei Xu obediently handed over his palm, and two half-palm-long thin peach branches were placed in his hands.

"Our family's rule is to put peach branches in your New Year's pocket. You can keep it on your body for two days." Zhong Jurui said unnaturally, "You can throw it away if you don't want it."

"Then why are you willing?" Pei Xu smiled, "Thank you senior."

He carefully put the branch into his pocket, backed up with his hands behind his back, took seven or eight steps, and asked, "Zhong Jurui, are you wavering because someone likes you, or because I like you?"

Zhong Jurui thought to himself, what is the difference, this "someone" is not you.However, no one of them spoke anymore, Pei Xu's question fell lightly on the ground, he didn't expect Zhong Jurui to answer, and he quickly passed by the narrow alley.

The cat has run away.Zhong Jurui thought in ecstasy, in the last year, he would never have imagined that he would be so leisurely discussing with another person to try out his relationship.It's like preparing a reagent reaction bottle, just waiting for a little catalyst.

Grandma and Chen Xiaoju next door each grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went into the yard.

Zhong Jurui found out that her mother-in-law had a haircut almost immediately.Before the Spring Festival, their small barber shop in the alley was overcrowded, and they all wanted to get their hair cut in the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the New Year. The mother-in-law herself forgot about it. Now at the beginning of the first month, the barber Zhu is at home. He'd get a haircut—she was old enough to not have to worry about dead uncle anyway.

In the past, my mother-in-law tied a bun in the back, and she managed it very neatly, with a faint fragrance.At this moment, she has short hair, and Zhong Jurui can hardly recognize her.He closed the computer and asked in surprise, "Why do you want to cut your hair short?"

"Short hair is easy to manage." The mother-in-law handed him sunflower seeds.

Chen Xiaoju said in a clear voice: "Don't you look at how old your mother-in-law is, she's over 70, who still has long hair."

"It's not good to have long hair when you get older." The mother-in-law said a little embarrassedly, "It also costs dyes. Now that the hair is short, a bottle of hair dye can be dyed several times."

Zhong Jurui couldn't figure out what was wrong. This change made him feel as if he was facing an enemy, and at the same time made him feel ashamed of his fragility.It's just a short haircut, why are you panicking.In a panic, he thought, he was just afraid that her mother-in-law would grow old—although they all knew that her mother-in-law was indeed old.She doesn't like that when her white hair is dyed black again and again, they don't admit it, and when her bones are so brittle that they break when she falls, they don't admit it, but it seems that as long as she doesn't admit it, getting old doesn't exist, but today's The little old lady admitted it herself.She started to serve her old age, and Zhong Jurui had no doubt that after the Spring Festival, she would still be able to participate in the activity of queuing up to get eggs in high spirits, but he knew that her mother-in-law was already old enough to start serving her old age.

He grew up too slowly, too slow to keep the back of an old man.

Zhong Jurui felt helpless.

After Chen Xiaoju left, grandma started rushing to work on semi-finished pet dog clothes.Zhong Jurui sat next to her and worked.Grandma was talking about whether dogs like wearing vests or not, and about whose daughter-in-law ruined the child before she got married, and the two families were still arguing about dowry.

Zhong Jurui listened silently.

The mother-in-law asked: "I'm so boring, don't you like to hear it? Young people don't like to hear these things."

"No." Zhong Jurui looked very interested, "They took people to make a fuss, what happened afterwards?"

So the mother-in-law continued to talk, with high spirits, and a few witty comments.

Zhong Jurui seems not easy to approach, but in fact he has a heavy heart and is easy to soften his heart.Beneath his daily knotted brows are many emotions that can only be digested alone.He thought he had grown up enough to shoulder some things, but found that he was so afraid of parting, especially the one he loved.

His fingers were shaking, thinking, I want to grow up faster.

There is another reason why Pei Xu came back so early, he promised his brother to visit his friend Zhen Ming.His friend is a high-level executive of a short video platform. He and Pei Han used to belong to a newspaper company. Later, he led a team to start a business. Now the platform is on the rise and is considered a little famous.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, Pei Xu went to report.

"Teacher Zhen." Pei Xu, carrying a backpack, followed Miss HR and met Zhen Ming.

Zhen Ming gained a lot more weight than when they met the year before last. Seeing that he was very friendly, he said that he always wanted to see Pei Han, but after starting his business, he really couldn't leave. He didn't know that he had finished drinking the red ginseng wine he gave Pei Han. No, he still has them at home.Then he asked Pei Xu to learn from another old Lu Xian.

Pei Xu had done his homework before coming. This short video platform is divided into two major sections, one is UGC, which is information uploaded by ordinary people, and the other is their reporter section, where their team releases important news.The start-up team of the platform are all old journalists. They don’t want to engage in pure entertainment and gossip to catch people’s attention. There is still a trace of ignorance in their hearts. To achieve this, original content from ordinary users is not enough, and platform reporters are needed. In-depth coverage of serious news.Lao Lu is the second-in-command of the platform reporter.

They walked through a very narrow aisle, and Lao Lu said: "This is the technical staff. We are usually upstairs and have no contact with them. But they are very important. The algorithm traffic ensures that the platform does not collapse. Let's be more polite to them." ” He laughed at himself and said, “These days, people who can write and write are crawling all over the floor, and those who know technology are rare. They are much more valuable than us.”

Because it is a small start-up company, the office is not spacious, so Pei Xu was arranged in a corner near the bathroom.On the first day, he didn't have any tasks, except for running back and forth a few times with the shredder to help shred the documents, and barely left his seat. Just when he was so bored that he yawned, Lao Lu came over and asked him to go for a run with Donald Duck in the group tomorrow. news.

Incidents are very common. A restaurant provides free breakfast to sanitation workers every morning, which is very positive and warm.Pei Xu couldn't help thinking, doesn't the platform need clicks and traffic? Does anyone really want to read this kind of news?What's more, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a promotion for a restaurant.

As the name suggests, Donald Duck has a male voice, because his voice is ugly and he doesn't like to talk nonsense.He asked Pei Xu to come to the entrance of Huayue Restaurant at 6:20 in the morning, and start to send breakfast to the sanitation workers at 6:[-], and they had to watch over and take pictures.

In winter, it dawns late, and it was still dark when Pei Xu went out.The morning bus was empty, and he arrived drowsily.Donald Duck knew that he was here for an internship, so he didn't let him come up to play the leading role, but let him watch from the side.He held up the machine and asked questions.Pei Xu was listening by the side, feeling something was wrong.

The sanitation old man first praised the store for its kindness, after which Donald Duck asked, "Is the breakfast cold?"

"What's so good about giving it away for free? It's cold, and it won't warm up after a while."

"Then did you eat at home?"

"I don't have time to eat, I have to sweep all night, so I don't have time to go home."

"What do you think of this charity?" Donald Duck put away the machine and handed over a cigarette.

The old man was polite, put the cigarette behind his ears happily, and said: "To be honest with you, this restaurant is not at ease. We received breakfast for a week, and people came to take pictures for three days. We get free breakfast , They use us as propaganda! If I don't go home far away, I wouldn't care to eat his cold steamed buns."

The old man left after the interview.

Pei Xu thought about it, and Donald Duck patted him: "Let's go, something has been posted."

"What are you posting? The restaurant's pseudo-charity is actually a marketing tool?"

Donald Duck glanced at Pei Xu as if he was mentally retarded: "The hotel is the sponsor, and they paid us to report it, so you report it to him?"

"Then what?"

"The sanitation worker is a white-eyed wolf, eating steamed buns and scolding his boss." Donald Duck smoked a cigarette, "Have you ever learned editing? According to this idea, cut a 2-minute one, and send it to me after cutting."

Pei Xu frowned.

☆、Chapter 14

"You know that if you send this out, the uncle will be scolded, right?"

"Why did I post it if I didn't get scolded? Where did the heat come from?" Donald Duck put away his things, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, "It's still early, I'll go home and send the kids to school, you go back Catch up on the return sleep and arrive at the office at ten o'clock."

The popularity is predictable, and the well-intentioned shopkeepers who are regarded as the liver and lungs of donkeys can gain sympathy and reputation.Pei Xu couldn't help but think, now the marketing method
