He Gujun smoked a cigarette outside, and waited until the smell of the cigarette dissipated before going upstairs. He knocked on the door, and Mother Teng opened the door and said in surprise, "Gu Jun, just now Miao Miao said you were busy. .”

He Gujun smiled and said, "I just finished my work, is uncle at home?"

"At work, Miao Miao has already brought a lot of fruit, if you buy it again, we can finish it there."

He Gujun smiled, lowered his head and changed his shoes, and saw Teng Shengmiao making dumplings in the living room, "Dumplings for lunch, what kind of stuffing?"

"Mushrooms, celery, pork, wild rice stems, shallots, and coriander." After finishing speaking, Teng Shengmiao added, "I didn't know you were coming."

Mama Teng just heard it when she came back from putting the fruit, and suddenly said: "Yes, Gu Jun doesn't eat celery, right? There are still vegetables in the kitchen, I'll go and make some stuffing."

He Gujun hurriedly stopped Teng's mother, "Auntie, listen to Miao Miao, if you didn't eat it when you were young, you can still do it now." After speaking, he winked at Teng Shengmiao.

Teng Shengmiao had no choice but to help him lie, "Mom, don't do it, he eats everything now."

Mother Teng smiled and said, "Then you two make a bag, and I'll cook."

Teng Shengmiao said: "What else do you cook for dumplings!"

Mother Teng said, "Isn't Gu Jun here?"

He Gujun pulled Teng's mother and said: "Auntie, if you are so polite, I won't dare to come back. You can sit and watch TV, we just need two bags." He pushed Teng's mother onto the sofa .

He Gujun washed his hands, sat down opposite Teng Shengmiao, and took over the work of Teng's mother just now, rolling out dumpling wrappers.

After sitting down, Teng Shengmiao glanced at him, "Why are you here?"

He Gujun tilted his head and looked at him, "I'm not welcome?"

Teng Shengmiao thought that his mother's blood pressure was still high, and it was better not to let her see this flirting. He stopped talking and just worked quietly.

With great difficulty, He Gujun rolled out one and handed it to Teng Shengmiao. Teng Shengmiao looked at it in his palm, frowned and said, "It's too thick and not round, how do you ask me to wrap it? Forget it, you'd better let my mother Roll it out, go make tea, the cakes in the morning are too salty."

Mother Teng heard that and came over, "Why, did Gu Jun make egg pancakes this morning?"

He Gujun went to wash his hands again, "It's not good, I have to learn from Auntie."

Teng's mother reminded him again: "You brought the tea last time, and it's in the refrigerator."

He Gujun took the tea leaves, ironed the cups, brewed the tea and served them to Mother Teng and Teng Shengmiao respectively.

Teng Shengmiao said: "It's so hot, you should get me something lukewarm to drink first."

In fact, after so long, Teng's mother is still a bit at a loss for her son and He Gujun, and she always feels awkward getting along with her son. Seeing her son dominating others like this, if she is an ordinary friend, she should have scolded him long ago, but now she doesn't know whether to do it or not. It should be said, so I had to say: "Gu Jun, the big glass is cold and boiled, you can drink it with some hot water."

"it is good."

He Gujun went to mix the warm water again, saw the milk on the table, removed the straw outside the milk box, brought it to Teng Shengmiao's mouth, Teng's mother caught a glimpse, wanted to laugh but wasn't funny, and licked the corners of her mouth several times .

Teng Shengmiao was a little embarrassed, but he still had to make dumplings, and he didn't want to wash his hands after taking the cup, so he had to use a straw.

After dinner, Mother Teng went back to her room to take a nap, and He Gujun followed Teng Shengmiao back to her room, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Teng Shengmiao's room was still the same as when he was studying, and everything was furnished as before, because he didn't come back often, and the quilt on the bed was put away by his mother. Seeing him lying lazily, He Gujun took out a quilt from the cabinet Covering him, Teng Shengmiao thought he was going to sleep too, so he moved towards the inside of the bed, but he didn't lie down, he just sat on the edge of the bed and played with Teng Shengmiao's fingers, "Sleepy again?"

Teng Shengmiao let out a "huh".

Teng Shengmiao's hands are very beautiful, with thin and long fingers, as if he was born to hold a scalpel, but He Gujun has never seen him holding a knife in the operating room, so he pulled Teng Shengmiao for a while. Teng Shengmiao's wrist was also very thin, except for the bones, it was just a thin layer of fleshy skin. The curtains were not drawn tightly, and a ray of sunlight came in through the gap, and it happened to shine on that wrist , the fleshy skin was rosy by the sun, and the blood vessels underneath were clearly visible.

He Gujun was fascinated by it, rolled up the sleeves of his woolen sweater, and casually unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt.

Probably because of itching, Teng Shengmiao hid for a while, opened his eyes lazily, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Auntie is at home, you go to sleep."

He was afraid that his parents would mind, Teng Shengmiao thought vaguely, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep before he could think more.

He Gujun stared at Teng Shengmiao's sleeping face for a while, pulled the quilt to cover his hands, took a novel from Teng Shengmiao's bookshelf, got up and walked into the living room.

The book he took out was called "The Autumn of the Patriarch". After reading a few pages, He Gujun felt that it should not be Teng Shengmiao's book. Will you buy it, let alone read such a semi-stream-of-consciousness book with weak plot and heavy imagery?

After reading a few more pages, the phone placed on the armrest of the sofa vibrated suddenly. Seeing that it was the assistant, He Gujun picked it up.

Teng Shengmiao woke up and opened the curtains to realize that it was already so late. The setting sun in the western sky melted into gold, and the sunset was as gorgeous as fire.He stayed on the bed for a while, and only saw the message He Gujun sent him when he picked up his phone to check the time.

He put on his shoes and walked out of the bedroom. Mother Teng was sitting on the sofa picking vegetables, "You can really sleep, Gu Jun just called to say that the company has something to do, you know that?"

Teng Shengmiao put his phone in his trouser pocket, "I know." He Gujun also told him that due to the unexpected situation, he would go to South America after going to Province Z, and he might not be able to return until half a month later.He remembered the question that He Gujun asked him in the message, "Mom, who put the "Autumn of the Patriarch" on my bookshelf between you and my father?"

Teng's mother was a little dazed when asked, "I've never heard of the title of the book, and we won't go to your room except to open the windows for ventilation, and it probably wasn't your father who put it."

Teng Shengmiao thought for a while, "Maybe when I bought it myself, forget it. By the way, did you go to the outpatient clinic this afternoon?"

Mother Teng said: "I went to see it. The doctor ordered a bunch of tests. After the tests, there was nothing wrong. I gave antihypertensive drugs."

Teng Shengmiao nodded, "That's good."

Teng's mother said again: "Sometimes this son is really not as caring as his daughter. Thanks to Qiao Qiao this afternoon, you, Qiao Bo, are really lucky."

Teng Shengmiao said: "Then you don't call me, if you call me I will go with you."

Mother Teng smiled and said, "I'll just say it casually. I know you're tired from work and I want you to sleep a little longer. I just said it casually. Don't take it personally."

Teng Shengmiao didn't know when the parent-child relationship became unfamiliar. Anyway, after college, it gradually became what it is now.

Teng Shengmiao stayed at his parents' house at night, and drove his mother to work together the next morning. In fact, Teng's mother had retired two years ago, but she was rehired by a private school later. She felt bored even if she was idle at home. The schoolwork is not heavy, so I went back to work again.

City A has not been too cold since autumn. This time, the cold air moved south, and the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. After a night of strong winds, when I went out in the morning, all the leaves on the treetops fell, and they were blown around by the wind on the street. .The road conditions were bad, and there were many people going out in the morning. Teng Shengmiao drove cautiously. As soon as he drove out of the community, his mother suddenly said, "Miao Miao, stop for a while."

Teng Shengmiao braked, "What's wrong?"

"Help me find out, is the one waiting for the bus opposite Qiao Qiao?"

Teng Shengmiao looked at the opposite bus stop, "It seems so."

"You stop for a while, I'll call and ask her where she's going. In such a cold day, if you drop by, I'll give her a ride."

"Mom, you really..." He originally wanted to say that you are really troublesome, but after all, it was his mother. Halfway through the sentence, Teng Shengmiao swallowed those two words again, and silently drove the car to the side of the road and parked it.

"You child, the older you get, the less sensible you are. When you were young, you knew how to help others. How can you become so indifferent now? It's a matter of little effort." Mother Teng dialed the phone while she was speaking, and asked the other party enthusiastically.

Teng Shengmiao stared down at the steering wheel without speaking.

Qiao Qiao on the opposite side quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the side of the road. Mother Teng opened the car door on that side, and the girl bent down and sat in. At the same time, she also brought in a wind of cosmetics or perfume mixed with the cold wind. smell, but the fragrance is very light, not annoying.

"It's too much trouble for you." Qiao Qiao said with a smile after sitting down.

"No trouble, just drop by." Teng's mother said.

After Teng Shengmiao asked Qiao Qiao's destination clearly, he found that it was not on the right route. He wanted to send his mother to school first, then continue to drive, deliver the girl, and then turn back to the hospital.

Mother Teng has accurately captured the information in Qiao Qiao's words, "Qiao Qiao, you said you went to the Vocational Education Center for the exam, what did you test for?"

Qiao Qiao said with a smile: "Although my community hospital is close to my home and commuting is very convenient, but the hospital is too small, there are not many learning opportunities, and the room for advancement is limited. And Shengmiao's hospital has open recruitment this year. I Just signed up, today is to take the written test."

Mother Teng smiled and nodded, "Well, they are doing well there, but they are too tired."

The girl and her mother were chatting with each other one by one in the back row, Teng Shengmiao drove with his head depressed, and waited for his mother to be sent to the gate of the school, Qiao Qiao also wanted to get off the car, Teng's mother hurriedly held her down, "This way is not It’s easy to take a taxi, it will be bad if you are late for the exam, let Miao Miao take you there.”

Qiao Qiao thanked her again, and sat down again, because there was one person missing, and the atmosphere in the car became a little delicate.

After walking for a while, the girl had nothing to say: "Last time, I heard from my mother that she was chatting with my aunt, and the aunt said that you don't have a girlfriend yet. Aren't they urging you? My parents are urging me so much now. Last time Yue also arranged a blind date for me, and said there will be another one this weekend."

Teng Shengmiao knew that her parents would not take the initiative to tell others about her situation, so Qiao Qiao's mother probably said that when she asked her about it.

"It's okay, my mother and the others may think that I'm still young." Teng Shengmiao casually said something perfunctory.

"We seem to be the same age, but my mother thinks I'm an old girl. It's sad."

Teng Shengmiao smiled, but didn't answer.

Originally, the time in the morning was tight, Teng Shengmiao was afraid of being late, so he drove the car on the elevated road, so as to avoid a few traffic lights, and it would be faster, but in the end he was stuck in front of the traffic lights going down the elevated road, Qiao Qiao lowered the window and looked out , the parking lot was blocked in front of the Vocational Education Center not far away, "The front is too congested, and there are only a few steps to go. I will go down from here, and you can turn around and walk in front."

"Row."

The girl pushed the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, she turned around and said thank you.

The car behind kept honking its horn. Teng Sheng Miaoxin said that the red light ahead was useless if you pressed it for me. He bent down to find his cell phone, and wanted to ask He Gujun if he had been to Province Z.

The people in the car behind called He Gujun before he did.

"Brother, I was honking your horn. Who is that long-haired beauty who got off your car just now? A new assistant?" Tang Hui, cousin of Aunt He Gujun's family, gnawed on bread and asked vaguely.
