two-way straight girl

Realized that after such a long time, everything before seems to be vividly remembered, "We met when we were 16 years old, and now I am thirty."

"I'm coming too." Ji Zhoubai relaxed his vigilance when he heard that it wasn't about breaking up immediately.

"We got along seriously, and it was only half a year. The rest of the time, we only talked a few times on the phone, and then we met once a year when we were in the nursing home."

Ji Zhoubai nodded.

Lin Mu put his hands on the table, and put on a negotiating posture: "In all these years, you haven't met one, do you like it?"

Shaking his head.

"I don't believe it." Lin Mu said.

Ji Zhoubai blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "People like me, but I don't like them. As long as there is someone who can make do with it, I can handle it at home. But to be honest, even if it is make do with, there is none. My family also accepts it." this fact.”

The implication is obvious, she is going to live with Lin Mu, and she doesn't even bother to make do with others.

She was frank and guilty, fearing that she would go too far and make Lin Mu shrink back.

Lin Mu continued to knock on the table for a while: "I've changed."

"I've changed too." Ji Zhoubai roughly guessed what Lin Mu was going to say.She has ten years more experience in human relations than Lin Mu, and she can make up for her innate stupidity. At this time, she wanted to laugh a little. Looking at Lin Mu, she felt that she was too cautious.

Only Lin Mu is cautious like Lin Mu, and she also takes it seriously, thinking for a while: "We can try to get along for a while."

Lin Mu smiled: "Acquaintance again?"

Ji Zhoubai: "That's right, review."

Lin Mu nodded slightly: "How long is a period of time? How can I guarantee that I will not pretend during this period of time?"

Ji Zhoubai is still reserved, she is sure that Lin Mu likes her because Ji Yuanshan has already assured Li Xiaochuan's hairline.It's not that she can see it by herself, she has a dull sense of emotion, unlike Lin Mu who can feel many details.

She was a little afraid that Lin Mu would not like her anymore, and she was also questioning herself, if she tried to get along, would she pretend to be a little more cute during this time?In fact, the real self is not worthy of being liked at all.

Answering Lin Mu's previous question, she met many people, many good people, but they were not Lin Mu, they pursued her, and she missed Lin Mu very much.

I once met a girl who looked like Lin Mu. She got close to her and realized that everyone is different. She still likes Lin Mu, not a shadow of Lin Mu.

After more than ten years, she realized more and more clearly that her liking could withstand precipitation, and she thought it was right, but it just came too early.

So he fell silent, and when he was at a loss, he tried to reach across the table to grab Lin Mu's hand.

Lin Mu let her hold it tightly, and asked softly, "It might not sound good to ask me that. Do you think that when we found each other, it was like looking for a shadow from the past, without looking forward—"

"Which is going forward?" Ji Zhoubai touched his face with her hand, and rubbed it lightly, "You can't be like a bear breaking corn, seeing one loves another, only knowing the new one is good, not seeing the old one—" She paused and saw Lin Mu smiling.

Why is Lin Mu smiling?She dazedly thought that she had said something wrong, and turned her mind several times to correct it, but Pian Lin Mu hummed in a low voice, and pushed the ring over: "I didn't buy you a ring."

"I just want to give you away." Ji Zhoubai still interpreted his love very naively as he did in high school, "We are not an equal exchange."

"Give it to me later." Lin Mu gave the ring a verdict.So Ji Zhoubai had no choice but to put up the ring obediently, "Don't worry about the wedding, talk about your future plans."

"After that, I worked in the city. My dad wanted me to take over the company, but I started my own company."

"Not going back to England?"

"Well, I won't come back."

"So, you lied to me?" Thinking of Ji Zhoubai's serious words on the phone, Lin Mu really thought that he would never see him again.

Ji Zhoubai tilted his head, and immediately sold Ji Yuanshan: "Ji Yuanshan asked me to say that, and he said that if I said that, you would definitely come."

Lin Mu couldn't help laughing, looking at the busy young man in the kitchen who was wearing big underpants in March, Ji Yuanshan didn't know that he was sold, and was cleaning the gas stove with his hands and feet.

"Am I going to meet your parents?" Lin Mu asked.

Ji Zhoubai secretly read the information contained in it.

See the parents!

She beamed with joy: "If you want to see them - they are all waiting to see you. If you don't want to see them, I will stop them. However, Auntie is coming back soon. You should want to see her."

Lin Mu thought of his mother, and knew that there was such a link, and nodded slightly: "She has gone to other places to do activities, hasn't she?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Lin Mu asked Ji Zhoubai's future plans again, raising words: "Do I want to live with you?"

Ji Zhoubai nodded immediately, and after nodding, he thought of something else, and a blush flew across his face: "We live alone, my parents are out of town and don't come here often!"

She is almost like a flower picker who has successfully cheated on her, her eyebrows will be raised every time she speaks, making her eyes look big and bright.

Seeing the familiar sly eyes, Lin Mu remembered the 16-year-old Ji Zhoubai again.University should change people a lot, she is not very optimistic about her and Ji Zhoubai's future development.It's just that if she doesn't come, she will regret it, but if she really comes, she doesn't have too many expectations.

"Let's put the books here in the city, and sell the old and useless things. Keeping them is a safety hazard." Lin Mu got up, scanned the corners of the house, and looked at Ji Zhoubai. Seeing that she had no objection, he said Afterwards, "Let's try it for a period of time, about half a year, between four and six months. If you feel unwell in advance, you can stop at any time. Before that, don't think about the ring or the wedding."

Ji Zhoubai nodded silently, and felt that Lin Mu might be a little cold, so he approached her with both hands: "Do you like me?"

Lin Mu was forced to take a few steps back by the oncoming bluntness, and thought for a while: "What do you think?"

"I didn't know, I just asked, you—" Ji Zhoubai subconsciously wanted to say something, but he quickly swallowed the words, "I don't know."

"Then Ji Zhoubai, do you like me?" Lin Mu clasped his hands in front of him to pin his sleeves, and when his slender wrists were exposed, he raised his hands and tied his hair again, as if he didn't care about Ji Zhoubai at all. answer.

"Isn't it? Is it wrong to like you? You, this expression made me feel like I made a mistake. I wanted to say it a long time ago. I just like it, I do! I just like it! You can't stop it." Ji Zhou spoke majesticly in his vernacular, but his tone was aggrieved. While speaking, he raised his head to see Lin Mu's reaction. Lin Mu still looked at her quietly, which made her flustered.

"Do you like the 16-year-old me, or the 30-year-old me?" Lin Mu went further.

Just as Ji Zhoubai was about to answer, he saw two heads protruding from the kitchen door, blushing immediately: "Why are you still aggressive? Are you not you when you are a hundred years old?"

With his back to the kitchen, Lin Mu naturally did not see those two pairs of eyes with a narrow smile, and continued to ask: "If I am different from 16 years old, what should you do?"

Ji Zhoubai was almost flushed with embarrassment from those smiling eyes, so he mustered up the courage to look directly at Lin Mu. She was taller than Lin Mu, and looked down with a certain momentum: "Hmph! So what! You are 30 years old You and 16 years old are both dwarfs and crybabys, and they only make me angry! Even if you are 40 years old, you are still a dwarf, and you also make me angry, and you are still a crybaby, and you will be a hundred years old—"

Lin Mu knocked on the head: "Who is the little dwarf?"

The two couldn't help laughing and rolled out of the kitchen.

Lin Mu blushed all of a sudden, unable to speak.Ji Zhoubai bravely stood in front of her, pointing at the two eavesdroppers: "Two big men are listening to the wall, huh? Why are you laughing! Oh, I watched the video when you got married, Li Xiaochuan Li Xiaochuan, I will leave you three points of thin noodles when you get married, and you want me to announce the black history for you today? And you, Ji Yuanshan, wear big pants in March, oh, look at those leg hairs, I said Why isn't it cold..."

After dismissing both of them, Ji Zhoubai turned his head, and Lin Mu was already better.

The two of them stopped talking, Lin Mu was so embarrassed that he was about to shed tears just now, at this moment, he fanned his face with his right hand to cool down, and turned his head away for fear that Ji Zhoubai would see his embarrassment.

Pian Ji Zhoubai looks like a delicate elder sister, but she is actually a rough-natured one. At this moment, she stared closely at Lin Mu's flushed face and realized something belatedly: "I know you like me gone."

Lin Mu raised his eyes and turned his back. This raised his eyes and turned around, with a sense of reproach.

Ji Zhoubai kicked his Ansai waist drum cheerfully like thunder in his heart.

Putting his hands on Lin Mu's waist carefully, he put his chin into the hollow of his shoulders, and when he turned sideways, he could see the red apple Lin Mu.

The height difference is not too much. Lin Mu would bend his knees slightly when she hugged her like this.

Pian Lin Muning didn't bend his knees, and almost gave her a shoulder fall.

Ji Zhoubai felt that Lin Mu was going too far, and he wanted to criticize him, but he didn't have the guts to speak up.

It must be that Lin Mu hasn't adapted yet, and she needs to get used to it more in the future.

While still thinking this way, Lin Mu turned around and buried his face in her arms.

Clouds rise from the blue sky, fluttering and floating in the blue.

☆、Modern Chapter 03

That night, sleeping in the cold quilt, with the heating cut off in March and the cold spring, Lin Mu had a pain in his ankle and couldn't fall asleep. He got up and twisted a few times before going back to sleep.

In the middle of the night, everything was chattering, like a mouse walking on the floor.

Then, a seam opened up in the quilt, bringing in the air-conditioning all over.

Lin Mu pretended not to hear it, and continued to close his eyes, smelling the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Who said two people will be warm when they sleep together?Ji Zhoubai was thin, still lumpy with ice, squeezed in, causing Lin Mu to have several dreams of walking barefoot in the snow.

After waking up, she turned around, and the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus became stronger and stronger. She sniffed it, and the corner of Ji Zhoubai's mouth was sweet.

Stealing sweets, sneaking into the bed, Ji Zhoubai's behavior is sneaky, he can't get on the stage, like a little girl who has a tryst with a lover, Lin Mu can't help but think of the word she thought she was hopeless, hesitantly. Self-pitying unrequited love.

Ji Zhoubai is really hateful.

I don't know if she fell asleep or not, Lin Mu's eyes lingered over this peacefully sleeping face, no matter how beautiful the face was, it was sleepy, and when squashed, it became like a crayon Shin-chan.

The last time she watched Ji Zhoubai fall asleep, it was in a nursing home. Ji Zhoubai insisted on sleeping on her arm. Of course, she is not used to this problem. When she breathes evenly, she throws it on the pillow, and then stares intently. When Ji Zhoubai fell asleep, she watched, and her heart felt as satisfied as cotton candy.

At this moment, this person belongs to her.

After staring at it for a while, but it was too cold, she couldn't help shivering, and was about to get out of bed to find the electric heater.

Just shaking, someone grabbed her wrist, Ji Zhoubai held her into his arms, and boldly kissed her with that sweet mouth full of sweet-scented osmanthus.

This was probably the first real kiss.

Lin Mu tasted the sweet-scented osmanthus again, and when Ji Zhoubai recalled the kiss happily, she opened her mouth and took a closer look: "I didn't brush my teeth."

"I ate candy on purpose." Ji Zhoubai turned around and found a glass jar from the side, opened the lid, it was a very sweet can, "I only eat candy after brushing my teeth."

A kiss that was premeditated, Lin Mu thought to himself.

Why does Ji Zhoubai act like a little fox... No, it's still cheating.

It's just that other people eat chewing gum before kissing, and she eats canned food?Lin Mu wanted to laugh, but his expression was tense. He looked at her quietly, his eyes were especially bright in the dark.

The guy took another big mouthful with a spoon and put it in his mouth, swallowing it whole: "Kiss me again and I'll brush my teeth again."

The sweetness in the mouth is more abundant, like a sugar bowl rushing towards the face.

Lin Mu still couldn't stand the look of being naturally tired of it as soon as they met. For her, after the reunion, it will take time and opportunity for her to adapt to the new changes. She is like the lingering shadow of all the past sufferings.

But Ji Zhoubai seamlessly transitioned to high school, and with a pair of nimble hands, he cut off all the blank days and discarded them.

But she said yes anyway.

Being provoked by Ji Zhoubai made her mouth sweet, she woke up in the middle of the night and brushed her teeth together.

Looking out from the bathroom window, Lin Mu saw the stars, a little surprised.

"Oh, the chemical plant has been shut down for several years, and now the air in the county is better." Ji Zhoubai explained indistinctly, spitting out the toothpaste foam, "Is the supply side reform now? Now the whole province is going to be transformed, and the production capacity is low. , it was closed, sold, and now a park will be built.”

Lin Mu stared at her, she purred and rinsed her mouth, she seemed to understand Lin Mu's problem, and explained: "I sold it, but the money in the chemical factory was not happy, so I gave a sum to the old workers, and the government lowered the land. price bought."

Naturally, Lin Mu thought of his mother, who was also an old worker of Luhua Chemical.

"When I checked the files, I found that my aunt used to work in a chemical factory. At that time, the factory looked vigorous. In fact, it took a lot of effort to pay wages, and no compensation was given. There were also a few old aunts who had the same situation. After making up for it, it was equivalent to no compensation in the end. Earn. When I also gave the money to my aunt, I found that she didn't hate me so much, so-um... Don't worry, it's okay, Auntie is really nice. "

When it comes to chemical plants, it's impossible not to hate, she can't associate steel monsters like factories with Ji Zhoubai.Emotionally separated from each other, now they have no choice but to merge together, the old things came to mind, Lin Mu still said: "Thank you."

"However, not all of the chemical plants belong to me, and not all of them belonged to my grandfather before. There are some system problems, and I——can't help them."

Ji Zhoubai seldom admits that he is powerless, but as he grows older, he can also understand other people's subtle emotions, the rarest quality of empathy in human beings.She thought that Lin Mu would not be happy to think of that factory, and she didn't like it either.When speaking, he deliberately turned his face away, and met Lin Mu face to face. Lin Mu's eyes were bright, and he was looking at the stars outside.

The stars outside are very bright, and there are only three or two sparse stars. After watching for a long time, many stars will emerge from the night.

The distant stars bloom with ancient brilliance. Once you think of how small people are, it is easy to let go of many things in your heart.

Lin Mu spit out the mouthwash, wiped his face, and touched the cold heater.

It was still cold in the room, so cold that the blood was frozen solid.

He hugged the electric heater, searched for a socket with the plug, and barely leaned on the sofa to keep warm.Ji Zhoubai's voice was broken, he didn't know what to do, when he came back, he took a blanket to wrap her tightly, and touched the heat source with his hand, it was glowing red.

Lin Mu pulled the blanket away, and Ji Zhoubai squeezed in obediently, wrapped in a blanket to keep warm, and gradually his hands and feet became less cold.

"Does it hurt here?" Ji Zhoubai asked while pressing her ankle, Lin Mu let out a groan, and felt his fingers lightly pressing on her ankle, rubbing it back and forth one by one.

Not far away suddenly there was a light, which was very obvious in the darkness, it was Ji Zhoubai's cell phone.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Lin Mu asked.

Ji Zhoubai shook his head: "It's all useless news."

Fingers gradually slid up to the knees, kneading them around the knees, gently and forcefully, Lin Mu felt that Ji Zhoubai was still very free.

She knows some things about smartphones, not much, only that everyone likes them, is captured, and looks at them all the time, as if she is too busy to keep her eyes on other places, as if her feet don't touch the ground.

Games, videos, texts, pictures, full of information.She didn't get in touch with the smartphone at first, and when she saw it later, she couldn't understand this dependence.

As a bystander, on the contrary, it is very clear that the information has been intelligently selected, and the most suitable content is carefully selected, which stimulates people's nerves with similarities and differences.

After watching it for a long time, it will be boring. The mobile phone is just a tool, not the master.

Although she still feels disappointed that she has not been able to keep up with the rapid changes of the times, the outdated self can always live in her own way, and she does not have to follow the trend—she can learn new tools like learning Wubi typing.

But the old, unchanging things still moved her.

The whole body was warmed up, Ji Zhoubai touched the phone, looked at the time, and whispered to her that the electric blanket should be hot.

The electric blanket is old, and it is easy for people to sleep on it to be in danger, so Ji Zhoubai pressed the pillow on it, and when the bed was warmed, he pulled the electric blanket away.She didn't expect the temperature to drop suddenly at first, it was so cold, it was as cold as winter.

Curling into the quilt again, it is like being blown by the warm wind and wrapped in the sun, making the whole body comfortable.Ji Zhoubai brushed his teeth, his mouth was still sweet, he whispered in her ear, sleepiness gradually hit her, she just fell asleep, Ji Zhoubai kissed her, she pinched the guy's mouth and fell asleep again.

After waking up, the sky was bright, Ji Zhoubai leaned against her arms and slept peacefully, Lin Mu didn’t sleep deeply, and couldn’t fall asleep when he opened his eyes, so he turned on Ji Zhoubai’s phone and checked the time, it was already 08:30 .

Woke up late.

Suddenly, a new message pops up on the lock screen:

Li Datou and Datou Rain No Worry Chuan: I got in touch, and a friend said that he likes that style and that it can be published. You can ask Lin Mu.

In the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by group chats of an unfamiliar company one after another.

Lin Mu turned the phone over, ignored Ji Zhoubai's magical note to Li Xiaochuan, and realized that Ji Zhoubai was helping her contact the publishing house?

Ji Zhoubai in his sleep didn't know that she touched Lin Mu inexplicably, so he just turned over and felt that there was nothing around him, and suddenly woke up, and found that Lin Mu was watching her by the bed.

With a sigh of relief, Lin Mu didn't run away.

Throwing his body into the bed, Ji Zhoubai was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and his head was buried in the pillow.

Lin Mu later said that she slept like a pig.

At that time, she didn't say anything, she just opened the curtain silently and looked outside, then limped out.

After washing, open the window to ventilate, clean up the sundries left by last night, wait for the steam in the pot to make the lid rattle, she opened it, pulled a pot of small cat ears into it, took it out in cold water, and blanched it. He bought lettuce with oyster sauce, and when he was cutting tomatoes to make soup for the cat's ears, Ji Zhoubai started to shake and his voice was very soft.

The cat's ears made a sweet and sour soup. Lin Mu tasted it with a scoop. The eggs were beaten too loosely, but they were still tender. The tomatoes should be bought from the supermarket. The quality is not good, and they are still hard when boiled. Also soft and sweet.

Ji Zhoubai wandered in, trying to beat her up, but she threw him out as usual.

When the matter of publishing was mentioned at the dinner table, Lin Mu agreed, but she said that none of the paintings from the nursing home had been brought.

"When the matter is finished, let's go back and bring everything back." Ji Zhoubai made up his mind without asking Lin Mu if he agreed. He thought for a while, "Wait a minute, I have a friend over there. He took it and sent it over."

"do not--"

Before she had time to fight, a phone call came through.

When they packed the house in the afternoon, the courier was already on its way.

I sold tapes, tape recorders, a large package of college entrance examination teaching materials that were no longer used, hard-to-handle whiteboards and whiteboard markers, odds and ends, old computers, old TVs, and DVD players.

But the CD was hard-won, Ji Zhoubai kept it, but Lin Mu picked and picked, took away her private collection and sold it.

Ji Zhoubai, who was busy wearing white gloves, caught a glimpse of it, but didn't say anything, secretly thinking that Lin Mu didn't know that the information was developed nowadays, and he wanted to look for it, but Lin Mu couldn't stop him.

The tricycle collecting waste left the community with a black fart, and the house had already been cleaned again.

The second round was packaged and shipped to the city.

After that, it was impossible to live in the county town, Lin Ailing didn't live in the county town, and Ji Zhoubai worked in the city, so this place also needed to be moved, leaving only a few big items.

There are a lot of small things in the corner, most of which are tea sets left by Mr. Ji, books, wine glasses, some decorations from old friends, some folk art, tapestries and snare drums, all packed up for the moving company. Let's go to the city together.

The house suddenly became empty and colder. After a busy day, the two ate noodles downstairs at noon, and Lin Mu made porridge at night.

Ji Zhoubai started crackling and staring at the phone to reply messages at night, his fingers were so fast that there were afterimages, Lin Mu took a book and looked down.

The crackling sound stopped, Lin Mu turned a page, and suddenly pressed down with one hand: "I haven't finished reading it yet, wait a minute."

Ji Zhoubai was behind her like a cat like an old lady, slowly put on his glasses, glanced at the text on this page, and then looked at Lin Mu: "Okay, you can turn the page now."

"Are you done?" Lin Mu moved the seat to Ji Zhoubai. Ji Zhoubai would not sit in such a big place, but he must nestle in her arms. He poked his head out from between his arms, leaned against her lightly, and turned over. one page.

Lin Mu wanted to say that she had crushed his leg, but Ji Zhoubai seemed to realize it himself, quietly moved his butt away, pretended nothing happened, and focused his eyes on nailing the book.

Well.

Is she really reading?

Lin Mu looked at Ji Zhoubai, and gradually realized that her ears had turned red and her breathing was not comfortable.

For so long, I haven't turned a single page.

The glasses were about to slip down to the tip of the nose, and the eyes were fixed uncomfortably.

Taking off the pair of elegantly decorated glasses, Lin Mu glanced at them, and found that there was indeed a prescription, folded the frames of the glasses, and put them aside.Ji Zhoubai fixed his hair for the pretending Ji Zhoubai, and closed the book with a dull bang.

Ji Zhoubai likes to get close to her like a child, clinging to her, this is not a good habit.

But Lin Mu likes to be clingy and feels needed.

Ji Zhoubai has a mobile phone network with thousands of friends, but he is alone and is slowly finding it.

Where is she in need of herself?How long is it needed again?Is it irreplaceable?Can I help?

Now she is just a downcast person, but Ji Zhoubai is full of spirit, which is very different from high school.

Ji Zhoubai has become strong, elegant and independent, a step further than before being happy and free. Lin Mu is happy and likes it, but he always examines himself, afraid of being handed over, afraid of being sympathized with, and he is very able to hold back, so as not to fall into the emotional trap. passive.

She carefully weighed her relationship that has been dragging for more than ten years.

But after taking off his glasses, he could see those cunning eyes unhindered as if he had counted on her coming to kiss him, and the plan would succeed.

Her abacus miscalculated several steps.

Lin Mu's heart sprouted eagerly.

It is like spring rain moistening silently.

Reopening the book, Lin Mu slowly recited poems for her: "I worked hard, I sewed life into my body like a rare organ, and walked carefully like a rare thing. I tried not to think too much, I tried hard Relax and try to be blind in love like other girls..."

The author has something to say: Then Lin Mu continued to read:

To see another face not in the dense darkness,

I didn't look but the face was still there

there are other faces

i keep an eye out for these people

They are jealous of everything that is not flat

Flattened the whole world because of its own flatness.

—— "The Future Is a Gray Seagull"

I write stories too flat, like a running account.I was like a faucet not connected to the reservoir, unscrewing myself, pouring the waste water in the pipe, and when the water dries up, the story is over.

There are still some words to wait until the end.

[I want to write about Lin Mu's mother with heavy pen and ink, but the outline is written according to No.1 pronoun. I'm really not good at writing Lin Ailing in the third person, so I just let it go lightly]

☆、Modern Chapter 04

Lin Ailing returned to the county seat, looking like a royal concubine visiting relatives. She got off the car, took off her sunglasses, took off the floral silk scarf around her neck, and tidied up her shiny leather clothes. A middle-aged man followed behind her. Mu thought he had misread it, and rubbed his eyes to be sure that the woman who dressed up again was her rustic mother who never dressed up.

She and her mother have not seen each other for nearly ten years.

"This is the old Wu I met in Shanghai, Ah Ji, call Lin Mu over here." Mom clearly saw Lin Mu who was stunned on the sofa first, but first patted the back of Ji Zhoubai's hand lovingly.

The four of them sat down at the same table, Lin Mu looked at his mother, she was a little richer than before, her face was covered with a thin layer of powder, her mouth was painted, but most of it seemed to be licked off, leaving only two solitary lip lines for comparison, She was dressed younger than her, with wide-leg pants and a leather jacket, holding a flowered silk scarf that she couldn't pull up when she was young, and a bracelet on her hand.

"This is your Uncle Wu." Lin Ailing started.

Lin Mu yelled stiffly, and looked at the man. He was not tall, and when he heard that he was from Shanghai, he felt a little wary in his heart. He felt that the four characters of shrewdness and sophistication were particularly obvious on the man's thin face.The man was wearing an old Chinese tunic suit, the fleece coat on the outer hood was hung up properly, and the brown leather shoes looked quite satisfactory.

Ji Zhoubai gave her a tug, and smiled: "Lin Mu has only come back not long ago, you catch up on the old days, and I'll go shopping."

"I'll go too." Old Wu stood up, was dragged by Lin Ailing, and immediately sat down uselessly.

Lin Mu raised his eyes slightly, reflecting on his random definition, but he still couldn't accept it. Is my mother starting a new life like this?She herself was still in the old life, and her mother ran forward as soon as she turned her head?Both happy and bewildered, she smiled silently.

Ji Zhoubai looked around the house, found his mobile phone, and hurried to the entrance, thinking that she didn't know what to buy, so he leaned over and asked, "What else is missing at home?"

Lin Mu took the note, recalled the refrigerator, and wrote a column.

Lin Ailing looked at it with her face covered: "Ah, Ah Ji, it's fine to make up your own mind about this kind of thing. She doesn't know what she eats, and she can eat whatever she feeds."

Lin Ailing, a northerner, somehow picked up a Shanghai accent, and learned it differently. Lin Mu wanted to laugh, but then thought, when did my serious and indifferent mother become like this?It's a good thing, and it's beyond comprehension.

"It's because I don't work hard, I don't know the five grains, and I can't tell what I want to eat. Last time I went to see Uncle Wu's cooking, I called the lettuce cabbage...hahaha." Squeezing the note, Ji Zhou Bai pressed Lin Mu's shoulder, turned around and went downstairs.

After being pressed, Lin Mu seldom slipped out of the nursing home without a sigh of relief. Back then, he had the courage to come out, but now he has no courage?Unable to explain it, she sat down intently and looked at her mother. She couldn't think of anything to ask, so she asked, "How has Mom been these years?"

"What do you think?" Lin Ailing laughed, "Without you, my life is too chic, think about it, the girl who has been raised for 20 years is heartbroken, and she simply doesn't think about it anymore, instead she lives an enlightened life, I am Me, you are you, who hasn't lived for the first time?"

Lin Mu couldn't accept the half-enlightened and half-resentful words, so he said politely: "You look much better."

"Shanghai's water and soil support people."

I have to pay attention to this old Wu, Lin Mu looks at him.When Lin Ailing was talking, he kept looking at him with a smile in his eyes. An old man with smile lines, looking at his facial features, should be handsome and romantic when he was young, and he didn't particularly examine himself, and he didn't have superior eyes.

But she was worried about her mother, and consciously took the man as an outsider: "How did you meet Uncle Wu?"

"Shanghai has one, the Gay Family and Friends Association." Lin Ailing changed her position and sat, "Because of you, I'm very sad. As for you, a car accident happened, and I was scared to death. I went to a nursing home to see you. A reporter came to interview me, and it was Lao Wu.”

"Friends and relatives meeting?"

"Oh, you gays also have to go on blind dates. If there is no man to marry, there must be a woman to marry. If you are gay, you can live alone? There is no such reason. Marriage is a matter of course. You can't live alone, and you have a partner. It’s also very good, I figured it out later. What about the Friends and Family Association, oh, you’re gay, don’t you know? You young people can’t bear the social pressure by themselves, so you come and tell your parents, we old people have old ideas, We can accept it, but the neighbors can't accept it. Friends and family associations are just us poor people. You young people are happy to come out of the closet and go back to the big city to have a good time. We are left in this small place, and everyone spits on us. Drowning people. We help each other and keep each other company. It's sad to see such a one in our own family."

Lin Ailing spoke bluntly, and Lin Mu was at a loss for words. It took her a long time before she defended softly: "At the beginning, I didn't think—"

"Where is there any medicine for regret, huh?" Lin Ailing poked the table, "Okay, it's over, I don't plan to come back, it was Aji who called and said that you came out of the nursing home, you are going to come out, you have lived in these years, Have all the money I earned before been put into it? I came back just to see you, and then I sold the house in the village and went to live in Shanghai. Oh, I know why young people like big cities. Big cities are so good. Oh, oh, entertainment, the community can also learn to dance, you have to come and see me when you are free."

As she was talking, Lu Hua's accent was revealed again, and Lin Ailing realized it belatedly, but also coughed a few times carelessly.

"Oh. Good." Lin Mu agreed.

Lin Ailing has changed a lot, becoming like the image of her mother she expected before.

However, in the middle process, Lin Mu was the catalyst, but not the witness. She felt lost, feeling that she was missing a part of herself in her mother's growth process.

Lost each other for almost ten years.

There was still a slight smile on his face: "What does Uncle Wu like to eat? Are you used to eating here?"

"Me?" The man smiled at her, with a few fine wrinkles on his face, "I will learn to cook after I retire. The vegetables in your north are salty, and we put sugar in them. Your mother is not used to it, so I learned a little bit." , I can make pot-packed meat, stewed chicken, stewed vermicelli, and I can also make spicy ones. I heard that you have a bad stomach, so I can pull noodles."

Lin Mu gave the man extra points in his heart, but he was still uncomfortable.

She can probably understand the feelings of her mother who heard the news of her coming out like a bolt from the blue.

Ji Zhoubai came back with vegetables, a big bag in one hand and a live fish in the other.

The fish struggled in his hand, and bounced and crackled as soon as it was placed on the chopping board.

"Why did you come back so early?" Lin Mu grabbed Ji Zhoubai like a life-saving straw. Her mother gave her too much shock, and she was not a mother and daughter who could sit together and talk about family affairs. pull familiar.

"I met Li Xiaochuan on the road."

Just after speaking, Li Xiaochuan opened the door, holding a bottle of wine and juice in his hand, a bag of cooked shrimps in his left hand, and a large piece of sauced beef. He was guarding a pregnant woman to come in.

"Sister-in-law is here." Ji Zhoubai handed the fish to Lin Mu, and went up to meet him himself.

Lin Ailing and Li Xiaochuan didn't know each other very well, and they got to know each other for a while, and they paid special attention to Li Xiaochuan's pregnant wife, asking each other about her health, and several of them laughed together.

Lin Mu didn't know how to kill fish, and he couldn't control its frivolity, so he took a basin of water and put it in.Squatting by the basin to watch it, the lively laughter from outside came in, she poked the fish's head with her finger, it was greasy.

Old Wu poked his head in, squeezed the fish silently, raised the knife in his hand, and gestured a few times: "Don't be afraid."

The fish were arranged clearly.

Lin Mu prepared to cook with him.

"Your mother, she can't express." The old and the young are side by side, the man speaks first, probably because he used to be a reporter, his words are correct, his words are rigid, and his voice is low, "Don't alienate her. "

"I know."

"I have a son who is a little older than you. He got married in the Netherlands last year and married a foreigner." Old Wu was cutting an onion. I can't stand it, thanks to your mother doing psychological work for me."

Lin Mu nodded silently.

"Elders, we all have limitations. We live in a different age than you and think differently, but our hearts are good, but our mouths and brains are also stupid. I don't know how to get along with you. Your mother was very young. signed
