The quiet nights in the countryside seem to have a kind of magic. On weekdays, in the noisy city, I don’t feel sleepy when I go to bed at one or two o’clock every day. In the countryside, every household turns off the lights at nine o’clock, and sleepiness seems to be contagious. Qin Hao I took a quick shower, threw myself on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
The early morning sunlight shines through the wooden windows, making the whole room look like the curtain of a shadow puppet show, with various patterns, alternating between light and dark.
Qin Hao put his hand to cover his eyes and stretched slowly.
“Comfortable, this is what it feels like to sleep until you wake up naturally.”
After changing out of his pajamas, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qin Hao changed into a light blue T-shirt and cropped pants. , sneakers, ready to go out to look for food, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a girl with long hair disheveled and squinted eyes in a daze on the balcony at the end of the stairs.
"Hi, good morning." Qin Hao greeted politely.
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied dully, "Good morning."
Qin Hao was happy. This little girl had a cute expression and looked quite cute. So I planned to tease her, "Why do you look awake so early in the morning? You were a thief last night."
"Ah, I haven't slept yet." The girl looked confused.
Okay, Qin Hao almost forgot, this girl’s name is Damai, she is an online writer, she works day and night all day long, sleeping during the day and working on manuscripts at night.
As she spoke, the girl gradually recovered from the downtime. She stared at Qin Hao for a long time, and three classic questions came to her mind. Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?
< p>With such doubts, the girl returned to the room with stiff limbs, closed the door, and then fell on the bed. She rolled up the quilt and her whole body was wrapped tightly like a scallion roll, and then fell into a deep sleep.Qin Hao shook his head. After all, it was just the first time they met. They had a brief exchange of words and did not give the girl any advice. He went downstairs alone.
In the yard, two cats, one black and one white, were grooming themselves in their respective areas. Yesterday, the middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest was practicing a set of Ba Duan Jin.
"Good morning." Qin Hao said casually, originally thinking that this person would ignore him like yesterday.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ma actually said, "Good morning, are you going to have breakfast?"
Qin Hao smiled and invited, "Yes, how about we come together?"
"You're welcome, I've already eaten." Mr. Ma said without stopping.
"Hey, you got up really early, it's only half past seven."
While talking, a voice came from upstairs, "Generally, the sleeping time of middle-aged and elderly people is They are all relatively short."
Master Ma's movements suddenly froze, and his expression, which was originally a master's attitude, was now full of embarrassment.
There was a sound of brisk footsteps on the wooden stairs, and not long after, a girl with two pigtails came down.
"Nana, in front of the new tenants, you can't save me some face. Who wins?"I'm an old person, I just look a bit old, I'm only 40, okay. "Master Ma couldn't help but defend himself.
Nana did not answer, but turned to Qin Hao and said, "You are going to have breakfast together. I know there is a place where the rice noodles are particularly delicious. ”
“Okay, you lead the way and I’ll treat you.” "
"Haha, then I saved another meal, I made a profit, let's go. "
The two of them walked to the entrance of the small courtyard one after another. Mr. Ma shouted from behind, "What about that, Xiao Qin, I'm really only 40, not a few years older than you." "
Qin Hao and Nana smiled at each other as they walked out of the small courtyard.
Nana pointed at the small courtyard and said with a smile, "Master Ma, as soon as he arrives, Start meditating right away. You call him, but he doesn't respond at all. This time you finally got the chance to let him have a taste of it. "
"I didn't see it, he was so sinister at such a young age. "
"Each other. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the distance suddenly became much closer.
Nana then took Qin Hao to a small shop outside Yunmiao Village. Don’t look at it. The shop is not big, but there are quite a few people queuing up.
While queuing up, Nana explained to Qin Hao, “The key to hot rice noodles is the hat, that is, the accessories added to it. As for the dishes, the hat in this store is braised with beef, and the soup base is also made from beef bones, which is very authentic. "
It was their turn while they were talking. They were carrying two bowls of rice noodles. Someone just finished eating, leaving a table free.
"By the way, how long have you been here? Very familiar. "Qin Hao asked casually.
Nana's face changed slightly, and the smile on her face was a little stiff. "Oh, I've been here for several months. Anyway, I have nothing to do all day long, so just If you work in a small restaurant, you don't have to pay for living expenses yourself. "
Seeing that Qin Hao did not continue to ask, Nana secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject and said, "How did you want to come to such a remote place?"
Qin Hao instigated Mi Noodles replied slowly, "I'm tired and don't want to quit, so I'll sell my house in Beijing and come out for a walk. I've been to Kundali, but there are still too many people, so I just want to find a place where no one is clean to hang out." , live a peaceful life. ”
After eating and drinking, Nana said she was going to work in a small restaurant, and Qin Hao slowly started wandering around alone.
Unknowingly, he came to the road outside the village. , the roads here are generally narrow, with only two lanes, but the scenery on the roadside is really beautiful, with green grass, various unknown wild flowers blooming randomly, and grasshoppers, butterflies, and bees looming in the grass.
While walking, the sound of a car horn suddenly sounded behind me. When I looked back, I saw that the window of the cab had been rolled down, and Xie Zhiyao poked his head out of the cab happily. < /p>
“Hey, Lao Qin is quite leisurely.
Qin Hao smiled and scolded, "That's right, I'm not as stupid as you. It's okay to work hard in the big city. It's thankless to be so tired when I return to the countryside." "
Xie Zhiyao was unable to refute, so he could only change the subject and pointed at the co-pilot, "This is my brother Xie Zhiyuan, he is going back to his hometown to play for a few days."
But before he could finish his words, Xie Zhiyuan interrupted unhappily, "I'm not coming back to play for a few days. I will live at home and never go out again."
"Rebellious, naughty kid, ignore him, or else Get in the car and I'll give you a kick," Xie Zhiyao said, not bothering to pay attention to his brother.
Qin Hao was a little curious, "Can't the car not enter the village?"
Xie Zhiyao gloated, "Haha, the driver told you when you came here."
"Yeah."
"It seems that the driver is an outsider. There is a road here that leads to Yunmiao Village, but it has to go around a long way behind the village, which most people don't know about. ”
After Qin Hao got in the car, Xie Zhiyuan poked his head out from the passenger side and said with envy on his face.
"Old Qin, how did you develop these muscles? They look so strong. Can I touch them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a blow on his head. Thank you. Yao said angrily, "It's not polite, Old Qin, you also called me Brother Hao."
Qin Hao was secretly amused. Xie Zhiyao, his half-brother, had completely different personalities from him. But Xie Zhiyao was right about one thing, he was really a naughty kid.
"Oh, Brother Hao." Xie Zhiyuan finally succumbed to his brother's power and shouted reluctantly.
Qin Hao nodded to Xie Zhiyuan, and then said with a smile, "Your body is indeed a bit thin. If you don't practice with me for a while, you will definitely change."
Xie Zhiyuan looked at it. Looking at the tight muscles on Qin Hao's body, he felt a little excited, but he still asked warily, "Brother Hao, are you tired?" Where did you get the idea of getting something for nothing?"
"Forget it," Xie Zhiyuan immediately backed down.
While talking, the car had already arrived on a small road behind the village. As soon as it stopped, Xie Zhiyuan couldn't wait to get out of the car, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye like a wild horse running wild.
Xie Zhiyao shook his head helplessly, "This kid is not a worry-free guy."
"It's still early for the winter vacation, right? Your brother has dropped out of school."
"He thought well of dropping out of school, but he was a bit rebellious. My father sent him back and wanted him to endure some hardship before sending him back to Kunming."
"I'll see if you endure hardship." This is letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Oh, I think so, but there is nothing we can do. It is my father who makes the decision."
After a while, the two returned to Xie. At Grandma's house, Xie Zhiyuan was squatting at the door of the stable, staring intently at the "little cutie" inside. He seemed to be aware of the stranger's "malintentions." to express their dissatisfaction.
"Xie Zhiyuan, stay away from it, it’s very dangerous, do you know? "Xie Zhiyao pressed his fingers on his temples, feeling a headache. This little ancestor was like this on the first day he came back. How will he live in the future?
"Oh. "Xie Zhiyuan, the naughty kid, promised, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get close to the white horse.
Just when Xie Zhiyuan had a headache, Grandma Xie probably received the news that her grandson was back. She has returned from closing the stall, and there is someone behind her to help her carry the load. I have to say that the folk customs in Yunmiao Village are relatively simple.
"Grandma. "
"Ayuan. ”
Not to mention the estranged relationship, Grandma Xie couldn’t bear to let go of her grandson when she hugged her.
“Grandma Xie did this to you when you were a child,” Qin Hao asked in a low voice. .
Xie Zhiyao rolled his eyes, "Have you ever been chased for several miles with a cane?"
"Is there a possibility that you picked it up?" "
"Get out. ”
After teasing Xie Zhiyao a few words, Qin Hao was in a good mood. He didn’t want to see this scene of affection between ancestors and grandchildren, so he quietly slipped away. Let Xie Zhiyao deal with the naughty child.
p>At the same time, Chen Nanxing's condition began to deteriorate rapidly. Xu Hongdou was grieved but could do nothing. He could only watch Chen Nanxing's face become haggard. Due to chemotherapy, his hair gradually became bald and he could only wear a hat. Cover up.
Until one day, Chen Nanxing left this world completely. Xu Hongdou cried hoarsely while listening to the WeChat voice message Chen Nanxing sent her before his death.
Xu Hongdou. She started working harder, which seemed to outsiders to be promoted. In fact, she would not think about Chen Nanxing until she was so busy that she had no time to spare.
The two grew up in different environments. , Xu Hongdou has lived in the shadow of her outstanding and powerful sister since she was a child, and has a cold and precocious personality, while Chen Nanxing is the only daughter in the family. Her parents give all their love to her and care for her like a little princess.
This also created Chen Nanxing’s optimistic and cheerful character. The two were college classmates and best friends. Chen Nanxing was like a fire, warming Xu Hongdou all the time. Now the fire is gone. Xu Hongdou seemed to have no color in the whole world, and only the endless darkness was constantly eroding her fragile soul.
Finally one day, Xu Hongdou saw the clock in the lobby being repaired at the company and picked up a gear. , wanting to hand it to the clock repairman.
“No, that one is badly worn and the teeth are stuck. I need to replace it with a new one. ”
Xu Hongdou looked at the huge clock and felt that he was a gear that was constantly being worn. Maybe one day when he was no longer useful, he would be discarded at will. Then his vision went dark, and again When he woke up, he was already lying in the hospital.
After experiencing this incident, Xu Hongdou finally made the decision to resign from the hotel, send some of his things to Yunnan, and then lie to his parents that they were given by the company. After a three-month vacation, I went to relax by myself.
The night before departure, Xu Hongdou had a dream about Chen Nan.The star was smiling at her from a star.
This morning, after breakfast, Qin Hao returned to the windy courtyard. In the courtyard, Ma Ye was still meditating, and Damai was still catching up on his sleep in the room. There were even two, one black and one white. The kittens were all napping, and drowsiness seemed to be contagious. Qin Hao couldn't help but yawn, so he prepared to find a place to sleep, but he still felt it was not comfortable enough.
"Hey, Xiaochun, is there any extra wood in the yard?"
Xie Xiaochun was helping to pack in the warehouse when Qin Hao asked, "What do you want to do?"< /p>
"I plan to make a recliner."
"Can you do it if you still have the skills?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "It must be done, I can do it." There are still plenty of things. As long as you have the materials, I can make a sofa for you."
Xie Xiaochun naturally didn't believe it. Qin Hao is a white-collar worker in a big city, and he still makes sofas as a carpenter. Stop making trouble.
“Okay, you’re fat and you’re out of breath, but there’s no extra wood in the yard, but there are tools. They’re in the utility room next to the kitchen. Look for them. As for the wood, You can go to Uncle Heshun's wood carving shop and ask, they should have wood there." Qin Hao didn't bother to explain and hung up the phone.
In the warehouse, several aunts who packed the goods in the village looked at Xie Xiaochun with gossipy faces, "It's the new tenant in your courtyard who called."
Xie Xiaochun knew something was wrong at the first sight, and hurriedly He said, "Oh, you guys are messing around with this. You don't care about their conditions. You have to line up even if you are rich, rich and beautiful. I am a divorced woman with a child. If it is spread, people will not say that I am a toad who wants to eat swan meat." "
Auntie was not happy when she heard this. "Don't say that about yourself. Besides, this toad that doesn't want to eat swan meat is a useless toad. You can't reach it even if you stand on tiptoe."< /p>
"Haha"
Seeing this, Xie Xiaochun could only threaten, "Aunts, I beg you, please don't spread such gossip, otherwise if they cancel the rent, I will lose the rent money." I can ask for it from you."
Sure enough, when they heard that they were going to lose money, all these old ladies fell silent. Please remember to bookmark the website, the latest, fastest and free to read without anti-theft
