Smudged time with fleeting years

Lin Bohan wiped away the tears from his face, leaned Zhao Yun's head on his body, and said, "Zilong, cry." After speaking, Lin Bohan's tears flowed out again.

Zhao Yun sat there silently, as if everything around her had disappeared, she couldn't see or hear.But she could clearly see and hear clearly.

She saw her Mengmeng was drenched in the rainstorm and was panting heavily, trying to help her up, and she heard her say: Get up, no matter what happens, don't make it difficult for yourself.Mengmeng's heavy breathing turned to the bed again, following the creaking sound of the bed board, listening to the seductive moans overflowing from between her teeth, and seeing her peach-like face.

She saw her Mengmeng swinging on the swing and pointing to the sky with a smile on her face, and heard her say: Look, there, that is the North Star.In a blink of an eye, Mengmeng snuggled into her arms again, raised her face and said, "Zilong, it's snowing, let's stand here and wait for our gray hair."In a trance, she replied: Good.

She saw her Mengmeng holding her hand and accompanying her through ancient garden alleys, white walls and black tiles, amidst green willows, amid rippling blue waves, paddles splashed across the water, and she heard her say, "Come and fish in leisure time." On the stream, I suddenly take a boat and dream of the day. When I am old, I will buy a small house on the seashore, grow flowers, raise dogs and fish.She saw her Mengmeng rolling on the grass with her in her arms, and heard her say: I wish I could just keep walking like this.

But why did all of this suddenly disappear? How could her Mengmeng be willing to leave her behind?

"Impossible, impossible, no, it won't be Mengmeng." Zhao Yun pushed Lin Bohan who was holding her away, stood up, and staggered towards the emergency room.

Lin Bohan was pushed by Zhao Yun and fell to the ground. It was too late to stand up and stop her, and he was just about to ask someone to stop her.

He Shuyu had already stood in front of Zhao Yun and hugged her.They saw the miserable state of Liu Meng before he was sent to the emergency room, and they thought it wouldn't be better now, so they couldn't bear to let Zhao Yun see it.

"Let me go, let me go in, Mengmeng won't leave me behind." Zhao Yun said weakly.

"Zilong, let Mengmeng go away with peace of mind." Lin Bohan dragged Zhao Yun away from the door of the emergency room with half arms and half threats.

But Zhao Yun suddenly burst out with great strength, pushed Lin Bohan and He Shuyu away, rushed into the emergency room a few steps, saw the person lying on the bed, and fell down without warning.

Lin Bohan, a few friends and Liu Meng's classmates helped Liu Meng's parents take care of Liu Meng's funeral.These days, Zhao Yun's state can be described as a walking dead. She doesn't cry, laugh, or make noise, doesn't eat or drink, and often bumps into walls, doors, pillars, and people when she walks. Dashing in front of my eyes, I also saw her turn her head to look at it expressionlessly, but when she turned her head, she was in a state of nothingness in her eyes.Lin Bohan was talking with her, but she didn't listen to her, until Bohan got anxious and shook her body to let her speak, she said two words dumbly: "What?" Bai Han could only ask the nurse to help her inject glucose and saline.

It finally broke out. When they came back from the funeral home and entered the campus, they met some girls, and one of them said, "Oh, isn't that Zhao Zilong?"

"Yes, she is so poor."

"Liu Meng is pitiful. I saw her being picked up by an army car that morning and never came back."

Lin Bohan, who was holding Zhao Yun's arm, obviously felt Zhao Yun's body tremble. Then, Zhao Yun broke free from Lin Bohan's restraint, stepped in front of the girl, and asked grimly, "When did you see it?"

"On Christmas day, just outside the door, she got into a white car, and there was a man in military uniform." Zhao Yun has become very thin these days, and the girl shivered when she saw her gloomy expression. He hurriedly told everything he saw.

After Zhao Yun finished listening, he turned to look at Lin Bohan and asked, "Where did you see Mengmeng that day?"

Lin Bohan groaned inwardly, thinking of her father's threat that Zhao Yun told her, she took Zhao Yun's arm again, trying to pull her away, but Zhao Yun stood still like a nail in his foot, and asked: "Where? "

Lin Bohan could only sigh in vain, thinking that she would find out sooner or later, he should tell her, so he said: "The intersection of Wenhua Road and Jianshe Street. At that time, Mengmeng looked very happy..."

"Happy?" Zhao Yun murmured back, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, dialed the number, and asked directly, "Last Saturday, did you find Mengmeng?"

Over there, Deputy Commander Zhao said, "Yes."

Zhao Yun continued coldly: "You can come at me if you have any grievances, you can beat me and scold me, why do you touch her?"

"What's the matter, Xiaoyun, I didn't touch her, we had a good chat."

Only Zhao Yun sneered: "It's better like this, if I find out it's you, I will definitely avenge Mengmeng."

Deputy Commander Zhao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Revenge? What happened to her, do you want revenge?"

"Don't you know? A car accident happened on your site."

Deputy Commander Zhao panicked, and said anxiously: "Xiaoyun, I really didn't touch her, I just picked her up and wanted her to leave you, but she refused, so I let her go."

"That's your fault too. If you don't look for her, she won't go to your place, and nothing will happen. I hate you. From now on, I have nothing to do with you." Zhao Yun shouted excitedly, turning his phone hard He fell hard to the ground, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Looking at the torn mobile phone, Lin Bohan knew that Zhao Yun was venting, and squatted down opposite her, hugging her in his arms, gently stroking her back, crying silently, but said in his mouth: "Cry!" Just cry." Around, friends who went to the funeral home together, and classmates who saw this scene, all had tears in their eyes.In the end, Zhao Yun fainted from crying again in Lin Bohan's arms, was sent to the hospital, and was finally picked up by her grandfather.

"Crack!" Lu Zishan threw a document on the table in front of Lin Bohan, startled Bohan, looked up and saw Lu Zishan said seriously: "This is your plan? You have learned all this after working with me for half a year? "

Lin Bohan said apologetically, "Sister, a good friend of mine had an accident, and I have been busy with her affairs for the past few days." The voice was exhausted, she was exhausted, busy with Liu Meng's funeral, and worried about Zhao Yun , and didn't take a good rest, Zhao Yun finally vented out, and he was willing to eat and sleep, and he was picked up by his family.Lin Bohan could breathe a sigh of relief. She wanted to take a break during the New Year's Day holiday, but was called by Lu Zishan. She just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep until she woke up naturally.

Lu Zishan didn't want to listen to her explanation, and said, "I can understand your feelings, but as a decision maker, you can't be influenced by your emotions. Look at the plan you made, if it is really implemented, the company will lose more than a thousand dollars." Wan, what are we going to do then?"

Lin Bohan felt that Lu Zishan was simply unreasonable. Could it be that human life can be measured by money?Thinking of this, she coldly interfaced: "Sister, I don't want to be a decision maker, at least I don't want to be a cold-blooded decision maker, and you and I both know that the decisions I make are just for practice, not at all. I will execute it, so what does it matter if it is right or wrong? If there is nothing else, I will go back first, and I am very sleepy." After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Stop!" Lu Zishan's face was also a little ugly. She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and said slowly: "I hope you understand two things. First, people cannot be resurrected after death. What you are busy with is It's just a funeral, no matter how painful or sad you are, it shouldn't affect your judgment. Second, the plan you are asked to do now is indeed a practice, and you will not implement it, but this is not a reason for you to deal with it at will. It is a matter of attitude. You must know a If the decision is implemented, it will either succeed or fail. If it succeeds, the company will develop and grow. If it fails, it will not only affect the company's profit, but also the company's future and the livelihood of thousands of people. Just like life, there is no chance to start over. Therefore, before making a decision, you must consider many factors, carefully consider and deliberate, and make the plan as foolproof as possible. Obviously, you did not think too much about this plan, and ignored the company's development and employees' livelihood for the irreversible facts. Which is more important, I hope you can be clear. I'm done, you can go, don't send it." Lu Zishan turned around, walked to her executive chair and sat down, looking at the documents.

Lin Bohan recalled his cousin's words while walking, of course she knew which was more important, and she also knew that people cannot be resurrected after death, she was just more worried about Zhao Yun, but now that she thinks about it, she can also read the documents carefully when she is with Zhao Yun, Then make the corresponding plan, instead of reading the document in a hurry after receiving a call from my cousin, and drawing conclusions at will.Speaking of it, it was because I didn't plan the overall planning of time well, which led to this result.Thinking of this, she walked back to Lu Zishan's office, knocked on the door, and when she heard the inside said to come in, she opened the door and walked in.

Lu Zishan seemed to know that she would come back, without raising her eyelids, she asked casually, "Have you figured it out?"

Lin Bohan muttered, "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Lu Zishan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and smiled at her, and said: "No, you have done a good job, we should all be thankful that your plan will not be implemented. I have a bed in the lounge, and I will repeat the plan when I wake up." do it."

"I'll do it now." Lin Bohan picked up the document and turned to make coffee for himself. Behind him, a smile appeared on Lu Zishan's face.

☆, Chapter 91

The Spring Festival, the traditional Lunar New Year in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, has a history of more than 4000 years.For the Chinese, the greatest meaning of the Spring Festival is reunion, so going home during the New Year has become a very meaningful task for those who are away from home for study or work. Years of savings, but the land we grew up on is always calling us to go home, even if we have to curl up in a crowded carriage, even if we travel across the ocean, we still have the desire to go home during the New Year, carrying our bags, Take your wife and belt and join the army of Spring Festival travel.

After Lin Bohan finished the final exam, Lu Zishan arranged a lot of work for her. In the past, she just read some documents in the general manager's office. Now she is also asked to participate in business negotiations and go to the factory workshop to experience life. Lin Bohan is really busy. Stepping on Hot Wheels, but no matter how busy she is, no matter how late she is busy, she will go home to live.Anyway, Lu Zishan gave her her Audi, and commuting to and from get off work is very convenient now, without having to squeeze the bus to change to the subway, and the time is also short.

When Lin Bohan recovered from his dizziness, it was already January 31. She went to Lu Zishan with a document that she had just reviewed. The cousin was instructing the secretary to order a restaurant: "Notify, and do all the work at hand." Finished, the holiday will start tomorrow, and I will invite everyone to dinner tonight." Lin Bohan suddenly realized that the New Year is coming, no wonder the company's employees are working overtime these days, no one wants to work overtime when others are on holiday during the Spring Festival.He Shuyu is also going home for the New Year, but he didn't hear her say when to go back, and has the ticket been booked?Thinking of this, I realized that I didn't even book a ticket.

Turn around and walk to the rest area of ​​the company, and call Shuyu: "Shuyu, how did you arrange for the Chinese New Year, are you going home, have you booked a ticket?"

He Shuyu replied simply: "Listen to you. If you go home, I will go home. If you stay, I will accompany you."

Hanging up the phone and walking back to the general manager's office, it happened that the secretary was happily announcing the notice of the holiday and dinner party. The employees cheered loudly and went back to their own affairs.Lin Bohan knocked on the door and walked in, put the document in front of his cousin, and said, "You can read this first, if it's all right, I'll go to the train station to buy a ticket."

Lu Zishan said: "Don't waste that time. It is said that the line to buy tickets at the station has reached the square in front of the station. You can go back by plane."

Of course Lin Bohan knew that flying was quick and easy, but he couldn't go with Shuyu, so he rejected Lu Zishan's suggestion.Taking advantage of being free for the time being, Lin Bohan drove to the train station. Sure enough, there was a huge crowd of people. The door of the ticket office was basically blocked by people, and it was impossible to get in. The queue for buying tickets was hundreds of meters long. She thought angrily: Why? I forgot to buy tickets in advance, how do I go home, more than 1000 kilometers away?Sitting in the driver's seat, she had an idea, it's only a thousand kilometers, so she should just drive back.

Because he was worried that he would not be able to drive the next day because he drank too much alcohol, Lin Bohan didn't drink at the dinner party. Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Lu Zishan asked her what was wrong.When she learned that she was going to drive home, Lu Zishan told her: drive slowly, be careful on the road, and send me a message when you get home.Then let her go back to rest first.

When I got home, Shu Yu had just finished taking a shower and was doing laundry. Seeing her come back, he hurried to the kitchen to bring out hangover soup, but seeing that she didn't feel drunk at all, he kissed her on the lips and asked, "Did you drink today?"

Lin Bohan took the hangover soup and drank it down, and asked with a smile, "Am I like a drunkard?"

He Shuyu took the empty bowl and walked towards the kitchen and said, "It doesn't matter what you look like, I'm just worried about your body."

Lin Bohan hugged He Shuyu who was washing the dishes from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and said, "My dear, thank you."

"Okay, let's go take a shower." He Shuyu finished washing the dishes, and patted Bai Han's hands around her in front of him.

Lin Bohan pecked Shuyu on the cheek, took her hand and walked to the bedroom, saying: "We can't buy a train ticket, we will drive back tomorrow, take you home first, and then I will go home. Now let's sort out what we need luggage."

"It's more than 1000 kilometers, you will be very tired." He Shuyu expressed his worry.

"Don't worry, it's a big deal that we will stay overnight."

He Shuyu knew it was difficult to buy a train ticket now, thinking that what Bo Han said was reasonable, she stopped talking, pushed Bo Han to take a shower, and she began to pack her luggage.

After Lin Bohan took a shower, he thought that since he was driving home, he should ask his aunt if she wanted to take something home. Before the holiday, she said that she would not go home during the New Year.The phone rang for a long time, until Lin Bohan was about to give up, when Bai Chunran's hoarse voice came: "Hello!"

When Lin Bohan finished talking to his aunt that she was going to drive home, a whisper came from the phone, and then Bai Chunran said, "Come pick me up tomorrow morning, and we will also go back to celebrate the New Year."

"You? Who else?" But the busy tone of "beep——" came from the phone.

Lin Bohan put down the phone and thought for a while. It should be because my aunt was worried that she would drive by herself, so she wanted to go back with her.But who else is there, second brother?He didn't go back early.

The next day, the two had breakfast and drove to pick up Bai Chunran and, of course, Jiang Hanwei.Instigated by Bai Chunran to go around the shopping mall in City B, the reason is that Bai Chunran suddenly decided to go home and did not have time to buy gifts for his family, and waited for the four of them to put the big and small bags in the trunk. It was already noon when we drove to Kangzhuang Avenue home.It was the first time for Lin Bohan to drive at high speed. The speed exceeded 100, and he was still a little nervous. Jiang Hanwei sat in the back row and smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the key is not to be too anxious when steering the steering wheel, and the angle should not be too large. You drive very well. Just 100 per hour is fine, we are not in a hurry."

The first time I parked in the service area was after three o'clock in the afternoon. Just as Jiang Hanwei was about to get into the driver's seat, Bai Chunran grabbed her by the collar of her clothes, and her eyes were full of warning: "Do you have a driver's license? Don't make trouble." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Lin Bohan and said, "The key."

Lin Bohan really didn't expect my aunt to drive violently, overtaking all the way after entering the expressway.

"Professor, you are speeding, don't let the police catch you."

"Don't worry, I looked at it, it's exactly 120."

Lying on the big bed in the hotel at night, He Shuyu said, "Auntie and the others are the same as us, right?"

"Well, it's also a big bed room."

He Shuyu laughed, leaned on Bo Han, and said, "I'm talking about their relationship."

"Relationship?" Lin Bohan's eyes widened in shock, "It seems to be very close. Sister Weiwei visits my aunt every winter and summer vacation. Why didn't I expect that?"

"You, you are too nervous." He Shuyu pinched Bai Han's nose.

"Hey, she hides too deeply. Once I asked her, she prevaricated."

"I heard that Jiang Jun from the student affairs department is pursuing my aunt, but my aunt doesn't care about him at all. I saw the interaction between her and sister Weiwei today, and I feel that they should love each other. No wonder Jiang Jun doesn't care about him in my aunt's eyes." imaged."

"Well, I'll ask her tomorrow."

"No, since she wants to hide it from you, you'd better pretend not to know."

Because of He Shuyu's reminder, no matter how Lin Bohan looked at his aunt and Jiang Hanwei, he felt full of love, really affectionate.I can't help but feel that people in their 30s are more tired than me and Shuyu?After a while, I gossip and think about the relationship experience of two female doctors. I don’t know how boring and thrilling they are. What are they talking about in bed at night? It’s not all high-end academic issues.Or when you are sleeping soundly, you suddenly wake up, thinking that a project is not finished, and then go to work?

The more Lin Bohan thought about it, the happier he was. He was grinning, and his head was patted lightly, and his aunt's cold voice came: "Drive well, what are you thinking? The steering wheel has run away."

"Ah!" Lin Bohan hurriedly corrected the steering wheel, and was also startled into a cold sweat. He turned his head and glanced lightly, and saw Shuyu staring at her intently, with doubts in his eyes, but he wasn't too nervous. He touched his nose guiltily and said: " Just slipped away."

"Don't be distracted while driving. If Xiao Han is sleepy, let Ah Ran drive."

"it is good."

After sending my aunt back to her grandmother's house, Lin Bohan drove Shuyu home.Because he was worried that Bai Han would be too tired from driving, He Shuyu asked Bai Han to stay that night.Shuyu's father is the kind of knowledgeable, talkative and charming middle-aged man. It is not difficult to see that he must have been a handsome guy when he was young. No wonder Shuyu is so beautiful. It is because of his genetics.

Shuyu’s stepmother, Auntie Zhang, is very temperamental. She looks less than 40 years old, and it’s hard to imagine that she is almost [-]. She is also very enthusiastic about Bai Han. My son, I have never brought a classmate to my house. We are all worried that she is too introverted, has no friends, and is also afraid that she will be bullied. Please help her more at school. Come, eat an orange."

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Bohan smiled and took the peeled oranges that Aunt Zhang handed over, and continued: "I know a lot of books and languages, and we often need her help. Everyone likes her very much, and no one will bully her." Yes." After speaking, he put a piece of orange in his mouth.

He Shuyu listened from the side, and thought: Lin Bohan, can you be more hypocritical, everyone likes it very much?This is about yourself, you all isolated me when I first entered school, but it seems that I myself was not very social at that time.When I looked up, I saw that Bai Han's brow frowned subtly, and then his throat moved up and down, and he hurriedly took a banana and handed it to Bai Han, replacing the orange in her hand.Bo Han likes vinegar, she always adds vinegar to noodles and dumplings, but she hates the sourness of fruit, oranges are slightly sour, she almost spits it out, it seems like she swallowed it forcefully today.

Shuyu’s older sister, Zhao Yuan, was born to Aunt Zhang and her ex-husband. In her senior year, she was an intern in a state-owned enterprise through her parents’ relationship. Car, thinking about the fact that there is a car for the internship, it must have an unusual relationship with the company's senior management, so I had the idea of ​​entering a foreign company through her. Later, after a deep chat, I found out that Bai Han is the boss's relative, and I hope to climb this root Taka branch.The two verbal temptations were both distracted by the excuse of Shuyu, and when she tried to bring it up again, she was stared back by her mother.

Of course Lin Bohan understood Zhao Yuan's meaning, but she was only an intern and had no power in the company, so she didn't dare to promise her anything without authorization, but she wanted to ask her cousin when she went back, and if she could, she would help her out. It is in vain that Aunt Zhang has cared for Shuyu for so many years.

☆, Chapter 92

At night, the two of them lay side by side on Shuyu's small bed, and Shuyu said, "You are not allowed to help Zhao Yuan."

"why?"

"Just don't, if you don't obey, I won't be with you."

Lin Bohan thought: Oops, sister, why are you still acting like a child and still not getting along with me?She chuckled and asked, "If you don't want to be nice to me, then who do you want to be nice to?"

"I'm serious, don't smile." Of course, Lin Bohan knew that Shuyu was afraid that after helping Zhao Yuan this time, there would be more and more troublesome things like the "threshold effect".He understood He Shuyu's thoughtfulness, but he didn't intend to listen to her, and he still wanted to help if he could.So he said: "The school she attended is also a key point, and the company can also use talents majoring in advertising design, but I don't know if the company has a recruitment plan, so I dare not agree rashly."

"Foreign companies pay more attention to ability. If she is really unsuitable, should you fire her or what?"

"Why do you want to fire? Isn't such a big company unable to support an idler?"

"Lin Bohan!" He Shuyu grabbed the collar of Bai Han's pajamas and said seriously: "Don't have this kind of thinking, don't say that the company is not yours, even if it is yours, if you have this kind of thinking, you will change from an idler to a couple." one, then multiple, then what?"

It's not that Lin Bohan hasn't thought about this issue, she thinks she is still reasonable, but she really wants to help because she thinks that this is Shuyu's family.He also listened to Shuyu and said: "I know you are because of me, but she has nothing to do with me. Even if there is, I don't want you to be selfish. It embarrasses me, and my dad and Aunt Zhang will help her. of."

Bai Han knew what Shuyu was worried about, and when he thought about it, he was indeed incapable of arranging Zhao Yuan's work well, so it was better to let her parents handle it.He shook Shuyu's hand and comforted softly: "Okay, listen to you, I will definitely not help, that's fine." With Lin Bohan's guarantee, Shuyu fell asleep with his arms around her in peace.

Many years later, when Lin Bohan really took charge of the Dilu Group, he realized even more what a clear and rational decision He Shuyu had made for her back then.

This is the first time Jiang Hanwei came to the countryside in the Northeast. She looked at everything around her curiously. The low houses, the warm earth kang, the cigarette pot in the old man's hand, and the feather duster inserted next to the cabinet all made her very excited. novel.What was especially novel to her was that her Aran took off her coat of a strong woman when she returned home, abandoned her true qualities as a female doctor, wore the cotton-padded coat and cotton shoes her mother took out, and went into the kitchen with bundles of corn stalks, sitting in the kitchen. Skillfully adding firewood in front of the stove, carrying buckets of water to fill up the water tank in the house in the freezing weather.She thought it was fun to help press the water, but as soon as her hand touched the iron handle of the well, she was shivering from the biting cold. Aran hurriedly asked her to go into the house to warm up, and she could only look at Aran I was busy inside and outside the house, but I couldn't help, so I didn't dare to say more.Novelty gradually turned into heartache. Her Aran, her noble and elegant Aran, her smart and knowledgeable Aran, her witty and affectionate Aran, how could she do these things like a peasant woman? Her Aran should be in The one who gallops freely in the advanced laboratory and looks down on the crowd in the lecture hall of the university.

Bai Chunran's parents were extremely enthusiastic about their youngest daughter's friends, fearing that she would not get used to the cold in the Northeast, so they added more coal to make the stove red, and the house was as warm as spring.

"Xiao Ran has been filial since she was a child. Every time she comes back, she works non-stop. She wishes to finish all the work. She always brings back a lot of gifts and distributes them to neighbors. She entrusts them to take care of our old couple. Our old couple Ah, although they are old and have lost their children, these two girls are filial, so the neighbors are very envious of us." Mrs. Bai was nagging Jiang Hanwei, but Jiang Hanwei was not worth it for Bai Chunran.How nice it is to go to the United States with me. The annual salary is 10,000+ US dollars. Although it is not very high, it is better to live like a village girl here.

After dinner, Bai Chunran took Jiang Hanwei and his mother to the bathing pool to take a bath.Because it was almost Chinese New Year, there were many people in the bathing pool, Jiang Hanwei had never seen this scene before, her face was flushed with shame, and she refused to take a bath no matter what.Bai Chunran had no choice but to help her mother take a bath in a hurry, and boiled hot water to wipe her body after returning home. (Back in 2000, few rural households in Northeast China had independent bathrooms, and they all went to public baths to take a bath. Even now, the situation has not changed much.)

It gets dark early in the winter in the north, and country people don’t have the rich nightlife in the city. They just watch TV at home, and neighbors come to the door to do housework and play mahjong.There are usually only two old people in the Bai family, who like to be quiet, and no one comes to play mahjong, but relatives and neighbors heard that their little girl who teaches at the university has returned, and they all come over to talk about the family.Mr. Bai made good tea, and the old lady brought melon seeds and peanuts, as well as various snacks brought by her daughter, to greet everyone.

Everyone knows the situation in the countryside, almost all of them can climb up to relatives, and aunts and aunts are too enthusiastic, and they must ask questions about Bai Chunran's partner, and then there is a urge to marry, which makes Jiang Hanwei unhappy for a while.Bai Chunran is used to it, and he handles it with ease, and his relatives also know that no matter how good they are in this small town, they can't compete with this professor who is a top university in the country. That's all.Although the country people gossip, they also respect and respect teachers very much.Then Zhang's parents, Li Jia, told Bai Chunran about the interesting things that happened in the town. Although Bai Chunran was not interested in what they said, he listened with a smile on his face, and occasionally hummed in response.

After 07:30, the crowd showed no sign of dispersing. Bai Chunran went to the kitchen to bring half a dustpan of potatoes, threw them into the firewood under the stove and buried them. Grilled on the stove.Jiang Hanwei looked at her busy in puzzlement, and asked her what she was doing, and Bai Chunran replied that she would make barbecue for you.A big brother also smiled and said that you must have never eaten such a barbecue, and Jiang Hanwei was looking forward to it.

While people were chatting and laughing, the bean buns and dumplings were baked, and the potatoes were cooked. Bai Chunran took a bowl and filled two bean buns that were baked golden on both sides and pressed into cakes, and handed them to Jiang Hanwei, smiling softly : "Try it, be careful it's hot."

In the rural areas of Northeast China, two meals are usually eaten in winter, breakfast at eight o'clock and dinner at three o'clock. Jiang Hanwei really felt a little hungry. She carefully took a bite out of the bean buns. The sweetness combined with the soft aroma of bean paste is really a taste that I have never tasted before. I tasted two bean buns carefully.Bai Chunran handed over two more baked dumplings, and said considerately: "You can't eat more of that, because you don't like to digest it, try this again, it tastes different from dumplings."

The outer skin is also a bit crispy, but the filling inside is also roasted a little dry, and the fat in the meat is roasted out, and the aroma is overflowing.Jiang Hanwei quickly finished two dumplings, watched the guests grab all the bean buns and dumplings on the stove, handed the bowl to Bai Chunran, and asked her next to her ear, "Why don't you eat?"

"I'm waiting to eat you at night." Bai Chunran also said in her ear, but the voice was not low, at least three or four people around her could hear it.Jiang Hanwei's face suddenly became hot, thinking: I hate it, how embarrassing it is to say this now.Suddenly realized that what Bai Chunran said just now was French, and no one in the room should understand it, so he gave her a shy look.But seeing Bai Chunran peeled a potato and handed it to her mouth, she was about to reach out to pick it up, but Bai Chunran dodged it and said, "Don't move, it's hot." Jiang Hanwei had no choice but to take a bite of her hand , I also feel that it tastes different from the baked French fries I eat at home.She told Bai Chunran about this idea.

"It's baked with firewood, it's different from the one baked in an oven." Bai Chunran felt that the potatoes were no longer hot, so she let Jiang Hanwei eat them by herself. She also peeled a potato and ate it. In fact, she was also hungry, but those The bean buns and dumplings were snatched up by everyone, and as the host, she didn't want to grab them, so she had to keep a potato pad for herself.

Jiang Hanwei looked at the black trace of ashes on Bai Chunran's face, and couldn't help laughing and bent over. Her Aran was so cute, like a child.Seeing his girlfriend glanced at him, Bai Chunran couldn't help laughing, so he knew that he must have accidentally wiped the charcoal on his face, and without looking in the mirror, he looked at Jiang Hanwei affectionately, and said loudly: "The face is full of dust and smoke, The temples are gray and the fingers are black. My dear lady, do I look like this?" After finishing speaking, he scratched Jiang Hanwei with his hands that were sticking to the charcoal dust after peeling the baked potatoes.

Although Jiang Hanwei knows ancient poems, she is not familiar with them. She was wondering whose poem it was. The eldest lady next to her smiled and said, "Sure enough, she is a cultural person, and her speech is extraordinary. You dolls should study hard, just like your aunt Ranran." Bai Chunran smiled, put away the tableware and went to the kitchen to wash, and washed his face and hands with water.

When the guests dispersed, Jiang Hanwei asked: "Is it because the dim sum we brought back is not delicious? Why do they seldom eat dim sum and grab those home-cooked foods instead?"

"No, these snacks are rarely seen in the countryside. I used to live in a poor life, and it was customary to give the delicate and precious snacks to the elderly and children. Even if you share them with him, they will leave them to the children, so the adults I love these home-cooked foods even more, and this can be regarded as a custom that has been passed down for many years. Here, almost every household burns a few potatoes for supper at night."

Jiang Hanwei recalled that none of the adults ate those snacks, and handed them to the children around him. She couldn't help feeling a little fond of these rustic, rough and loud country people, so simple people.

☆, Chapter 93

The next day was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, after breakfast, Bai Chunran took Jiang Hanwei to the market.The market was in a nearby village, not far away, and the two of them walked slowly holding hands for more than half an hour.

Bai Chunran hadn't been to the market for many years, and was shocked by this scene. Jiang Hanwei held his lover's arm tightly, fearing that he would get lost accidentally.A street with various stalls on both sides and customers and pedestrians in the middle. The congestion is comparable to that of a train station during the Spring Festival travel season.The roar of agricultural vehicles, hawkers yelling, customers bargaining, the crowd is like the cheers after a goal in the stadium.Bai Chunran was afraid that Jiang Hanwei would be hit by pedestrians, so he stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms and walked slowly.

Before going out, Mrs. Bo specifically told them not to buy new year's goods. There were already a lot in the house, so the two of them just walked casually, watching the fun.Seeing a seller of candied haws, Bai Chunran went to buy two and started chewing on the street regardless of his image.

When passing by an agricultural windmill, Bai Chunran stopped, turned to Jiang Hanwei and said, "I haven't eaten this for many years, I'll buy some, you hold me, don't squeeze me apart."

"Okay." Jiang Hanwei responded, hugged her lover's waist from behind, and looked over, all black coal balls with a handle, what are they? "Aran, are you sure this briquette is edible?" Afraid of making a fool of herself, she asked in French, but because of her strange pronunciation, she attracted a lot of attention.Jiang Hanwei simply took a "briquette" and asked: "How can you eat it so hard, don't you want to knock out your teeth?" This time she spoke Mandarin obediently.

"The eldest sister is not a local, this frozen pear is delicious." The seller said heartily.

"I'll make it for you when I get home. When I was a child, I bought a lot every winter." Bai Chunran turned to explain to her.

Because it is almost the beginning of spring, the weather is not very cold, but the wind is not small, and there is still some wind on the way back. Bai Chunran wrapped Jiang Hanwei's face tightly with a scarf, and said: "The spring wind is biting, don't freeze your face." .”

"Do you dislike being frozen?"

"My heart hurts." Bai Chunran held his girlfriend's hand.

"Aran, the goods in this market are really cheap, and the cost of living is very low."

"Yeah, the income in the countryside is low, it's too expensive, and the folks can't afford it. The cost of living is so low, do you want to live here with me when you get old?"

"No." Jiang Hanwei shook his head and said, "The environment here is too bad to take a bath."

Bai Chunran said very seriously: "I'm sorry, I have wronged you. The living conditions in my hometown are like this, and now they are much better."

"Honey, I'm not wronged, and don't say I'm sorry, it's good to have you here. My Aran is amazing, to be able to stand out from such an environment
