Coincidentally

Time flies by, and it is New Years in a blink of an eye.

Happy New Year, the holidays are here again.While chopping the minced meat, He Lan regretted why she suddenly wanted to make meatballs.

During the seven-day vacation, when other colleagues were excited and eager to go home, he was worried, where would he go alone? He couldn’t stay at home and watch the Spring Festival Gala tour every day.

Sometimes the Chinese New Year is really not very good, the traffic is jammed, the shops are closed, he has to wait for two or three days to go out to play, and he has to cook for himself during these two or three days.

As of the first half of the holiday, he was struggling with how he would live during the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

The people in the office smiled and left one by one, and the sky outside also turned dark, and he was the only one left at last, turning off the lights, locking the door, and walking through the bustling streets against the wind alone, no matter how accustomed to loneliness people can’t help but feel lonely. Feel bleak.

Be strong, you'll need to live like this for the rest of the decades.Wrapping her clothes tightly, He Lan comforted herself silently, then turned and went into the supermarket.

It was very lively, very lively, like a carnival, the whole supermarket was full of red festive lanterns and blessing stickers, and the singing of gongs and drums could not cover the ears.

There are people everywhere, the food and fresh food areas are overcrowded, adults and children are crowded with shopping carts, and it is impossible to move.

After finally squeezing into the freezer, everyone bought chicken, duck and fish. He felt that he should also buy some, so he asked someone to weigh a catty of pork belly.The reasoner glanced at him, although he didn't say anything, it felt like that kind of unbelievable look, he looked around inexplicably, a little ashamed, no wonder, people's shopping carts are full, and the weight is five Ten catties, a pork leg like this, makes him very weird.

When I got the meat, I thought it was too little, so I blushed and asked someone to weigh another two catties, and I didn't know what to be shy about.

After a lot of tossing and buying, he bought three catties of meat, four chicken legs, one sauced duck, two packs of dumplings, one pack of glutinous rice balls, and a box of eggs. He Lan felt that he must have been impaled by a soul before paying the bill, otherwise... he I will probably still buy some, it’s the holidays, every family is going to be reunited...

But why on earth is he chopping meat here now?He didn't make it to the meat grinder because there were too many people?Or is it that he doesn't want to eat braised pork and wants a different taste?After thinking about it, maybe I was really pierced by the soul, or this reason can better explain my abnormal behavior like emptiness, loneliness and coldness.

He was alone, in this [-]-square-meter small apartment, only the TV was playing, and he had to do something to keep himself busy, so that he would not feel lonely.

He tried the horseshoe sound chopping method taught on TV. There is no other way to describe it except the black line. After all, he is not very good at cooking. The big meat can be chewed out, which perfectly shows the ham that can eat meat. He This is the soup meatball with meat grains!

Stirring the pureed meat contentedly, He Lan created a recipe for meatballs in soup, and tried to make the meatballs she put in the pot have a round shape. The chance of success can move the world.

In fact, this method is very good. When he finished his busy work and lay on his back in bed, the Spring Festival Gala was almost over. By the second day of junior high school, it would be fine and he could go out to play. He Lan comforted herself and fell asleep tired up.

On the first day of the new year, at four or five o'clock in the morning, he heard crackling firecrackers, which disturbed him so much that he couldn't fall asleep under the covers.He had no choice but to get up, turn up the TV volume, and cook a bag of dumplings for himself. He felt that he had to go out, otherwise he would be bored to death after such a day.

Action is always better than action. After eating the dumplings, he put his bag on his back and went out. Today is a particularly good weather, the sun is shining on his body and it is warm, suitable for playing.

But where can I go, downtown?Commercial street?attractions?It's too early, it's only past eight o'clock.

After thinking about it, He Lan decided to drive to the next city. If there was a two-hour delay on the road, there would always be businesses open.

Think about it, start your own Volkswagen car, and set off with great interest!

The road is not congested at all, it should be said to be very smooth, there are only a handful of vehicles on the whole road, and the highway is free, and the smooth driving opens the heart. He Lan thinks that driving like this is also very fun. He finally found the Spring Festival. Great way to not be bored!

While listening to the music, enjoying the scenery, it was already twelve o'clock at noon when we arrived at Shantang Street in Suzhou next door. God knows how he opened it.

Searching the map and looking for a parking space, He Lan felt that self-driving travel still has its shortcomings, such as a parking space. He didn't find it until he was 500 meters away from the Li Express Hotel.

This doesn't affect his mood, Shantang Street is already bustling, and his hotel is located in Shantang Street, a fast hotel where you can see the small bridge and flowing water.

Settled the room, put the unnecessary luggage in, and went to the battle with an empty bag on his back. He had planned the itinerary. Today, the mountain pond, Guanqian, tomorrow the garden overview, the day after tomorrow, Huqiu Jianchi Museum, and then you can return, or you can Go to the next city and avoid the peak return journey in the last two days. You will be happy and happy.

Shantang Street is just like the one on TV. There is a small river in the middle, connected by a stone arch bridge. On both sides of the river bank are stone steps and paths, along with various shops, each of which is antique.

There are not many people today, which fully shows that there are many people who are as idle as him.Very good, he went out from the hotel, passed by the theater of Gaokan Zhumen, walked across the smooth stone bridge with bluestone slabs, saw the strings of red lanterns on the Yanhe River, entered Caizhizhai, which was full of sweets and pastries, and peeled a pine nut candy , sweet to the heart.

"Is it delicious?" An abrupt voice asked, warm and moist, as sweet as sugar, He Lan looked up in surprise with sugar in his mouth, ah, familiar face...

"Hmm...it's sweet, and the pine nuts are very fragrant." There was something in his mouth, and he didn't speak so sharply. A small piece of his cheek bulged out, which was exactly the size of pine nut candy.

"Like sweet ones?" Li Subaru also peeled one, but just twisted it in his hand, without any intention of sending it to his mouth.How cute, with surprised eyes and bulging cheeks, like a chinchilla.

"...Fortunately..." It seems that I have done something bad, but this is a snack plate to try, He Lan still feels her face is a little hot.

So without further hesitation, he blinked at He Lan, his eyelashes rolled up and down like a small fan, as if he was an accomplice, Li Subaru put the candy into his mouth, and now they all ate the candy.

He Lan pursed her lips, the sweet taste melted and spread in her mouth, and her heart was inexplicably moved.

"Are you here to play too?" You didn't bring a bag, unlike him.

"Well, let's go around." That's right, he came to Shantang to play.

"..." It's really clumsy, He Lan doesn't know how to ask him to go for a walk, after all, he just met once.

"It's almost afternoon, have you had lunch yet?" Seeing his shrugging his shoulders and hesitating face, Li Subaru suddenly felt that his head was not hot, and his heart felt warm, as if the sun was shining outside.

"...Not yet..." Ah, he just ate dumplings in the morning, and he didn't feel it, but when he mentioned eating, his stomach really felt empty.

"Sauce fried? Roasted meat and bones? Or Songhe Tower?" Li Subaru hid a little bit of thought, thinking that if he ran to Caizhizhai at noon, he probably didn't like dinner very much.

"..." He hasn't eaten it, and it's all mentioned in the guide, and he's very excited about these three things.

"Let's go and buy some meat and bone roast first. It's good to eat raw fried meat in the morning and evening, and then go to Songhe Tower to eat fish, okay?" He Lan blinked at him again, and He Lan didn't know what to say, and his face turned even redder. , but isn't the tone of your voice a bit too familiar?

Li Subaru just looked at him with a smile, waiting for his answer, he was a little impatient, but to meet here for the second time, there is a destiny between them, isn't it?

"Okay... okay..." It's good to have someone together, He Lan persuaded himself, feeling inexplicably nervous, and nodded slightly.

"Please wrap it up." Li Subaru was a little hesitant after taking a packet of pine nut candy, wondering if he likes ginger candy?

However, He Lan didn't speak, he stood aside, didn't even realize that he needed to buy candy, his mind was full of what to do next, whether his itinerary needed to be changed, what excuse would he use to separate at night, what should he do? What should I call him?Tens of thousands of thoughts finally merged into one sentence, what is his name?

Li Subaru was actually thinking about this question too, why didn't he speak?What are you thinking?How is he going to bring the topic down?

"Sir, would you like to see other dim sum? It's Chinese New Year, adults and children love to eat it." The clerk smiled sweetly and enthusiastically sold it. Wu Nong's soft words permeated his heart, "Zongzi candy also has ebony flavor. You can also try candied fruit."

"Then let's have some dried red bayberry and dried tofu, shall we?" He Lan was always in a daze, Li Subaru seemed to be asking, but he had already been wrapped up by someone, and he put two packs into his arms, so panicked that he hurriedly refused.

"Uh...you can't finish it, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you..." After finishing speaking, I felt that I was too blunt, and suddenly I was annoyed that this person was too familiar, and I was angry at myself for what happened. He looked like a fool, his face was flushed red, his hand holding the candy was loose or closed.

"Liao is the landlord, my name is Li Subaru." Li Subaru knew that he was too abrupt, but he just did it carelessly, and now he is a little annoyed, trying to force himself to change the topic to the previous thinking as calmly and naturally as possible. direction to go.

"Ah...my name is He Lan..." Suddenly, they entered the mutual introduction session, and all the rhythm was disrupted. He Lan was extremely embarrassed, and asked stupidly, "Are you from Suzhou?"

"Yeah, doesn't it look like it?" Great, finally passed the embarrassing situation where he almost ran away, and Li Subaru immediately relaxed.

"No... the voice is quite similar..." Well, only the voice is similar, soft and warm, taller than him in the north, with thicker eyebrows, larger eyes, always smiling, just like those written in novels Yes, tall and tall, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes... Ah, what am I thinking... Knocking on his head, He Lan realized that he stared at people for too long, so long that he could not

Some traffic jams.

"Let's go eat first." Smiling, he watched He Lan's every move, from being dazed to knocking himself on the head, every thought was clearly written on his face, how could he be so easy to understand!Li Subaru resisted the urge to drag him out, and proposed.

"Hmm..." He's not that easily shy, is he?Things are going a bit strange, it's better not to get too involved in the future, and make up your mind, He Lan plans to find an excuse to leave after dinner.
