Qingqiu [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 97 New Year's Eve

Xu Zhixian drove Mu Qingqiu to the most complete large-scale general supermarket in Jiangkou City.

This is Mu Qingqiu's first time here.Although he has been in Jiangkou City for about a year, Mu Qingqiu is not familiar with Iwata District.The entire Jiangkou City is relatively familiar with the High-tech Zone and Zhuli District.

But Mu Qingqiu had been to a large general supermarket, so he didn't look around like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.

On the contrary, Xu Zhixian behaved rather novelly: "It's the first time to go to the supermarket with the person I like." He looked at Mu Qingqiu and said, "There's a kind of...how should I put it? I feel very happy. I really want to show off to others .”

"why?"

"Don't you feel that you are tainted with the smell of daily necessities? It's just... some ordinary happiness." Xu Zhixian pushed the shopping cart, and Ren Mu Qingqiu held his arm.

If others hear it, they will probably feel disgusted. People with billions of dollars say that they like the life of ordinary people. It is obvious that people in the city do not understand the suffering of the countryside.

Mu Qingqiu understood, so he said, "If you like it, we will come to the supermarket together in the future."

"Okay. You choose. I'll pay." Xu Zhixian smiled.

The two arrived at the vegetable and fruit section first.At the front are exquisitely packaged fruit gift boxes, which can be seen as gifts for others.

Mu Qingqiu ignored it and walked forward: "If you eat dumplings, what kind of stuffing do you like?"

"Meat." Xu Zhixian said, looking at the packaged vegetables in the crisper, he took a box of tomatoes.

"As long as there is meat?" Mu Qingqiu asked.

"Hmm. Oh, I don't eat leeks. That smells awful."

Mu Qingqiu, who was about to make leek and pork dumplings, silently withdrew his outstretched hand.

After picking some cabbage, eggplant and other vegetables, Mu Qingqiu weighed them in bulk and asked Xu Zhixian to go to the fruit section to buy some grapefruit and apples.

Holding the vegetables that he weighed, Mu Qingqiu looked for Xu Zhixian in the fruit area, only to see Xu Zhixian pointing at him with a durian in the distance.

Mu Qingqiu: ...

"Do you like durian?" Mu Qingqiu asked as he put some vegetables into the cart basket.

"Hmm." Xu Zhixian nodded, "Look at the car, I'll go to the fruit to weigh it."

"Let's go together. It's too heavy." Mu Qingqiu pushed the cart and followed.

The fruit that Mu Qingqiu hated the most in his life was durian, but Xu Zhixian actually liked it, obviously this guy detests leeks!

He sighed in his heart, what can he do?Who told me to like it.

Xu Zhixian put the signed durian into the cart basket, and Mu Qingqiu said, "When you eat, find a well-ventilated place, and don't kiss me after eating the durian."

"Durian is such a good thing. Hmph. I don't know how to enjoy it." Xu Zhixian joked.

"Let's go, go to the meat side to have a look." Mu Qingqiu pulled the front cart, Xu Zhixian pushed it behind, and the two passed through the crowd one after the other.

"Do you want ribs? Or steamed fish?" Mu Qingqiu turned around and asked.

"You know how to do it?" Xu Zhixian asked.

"The fish is fine as long as it's cooked. The stew is very simple. Do you eat braised or sweet and sour? Or make soup?"

"It's all right. Buy them all and keep them ready." Xu Zhixian said.

Mu Qingqiu picks fish with the aquatic master.

A child ran past in a hurry, and the child's mother shouted, "Qianqian! Don't run in public! I won't bring you to the supermarket next time!"

The little girl ignored the voice behind her ears and ran to the side of the wooden shelf. On the ground, when the master was fishing for fish just now, some water was sprinkled on the outside of the blanket. The little girl slipped and fell into the mud.

The water with a strong fishy smell splashed some on Xu Zhixian's leather shoes.

"Are you okay?" Xu Zhixian squatted down to help the little girl up, "Where did you fall? Does it hurt? Where is your mother? Do you want my brother to carry you there?"

Seeing Xu Zhixian, the little girl froze the corners of her mouth that were downcast, and suppressed the tears from the corners of her eyes. She pursed her mouth and shook her head, then nodded again.

Mu Qingqiu saw that the little girl's nose was broken and her mouth was bleeding, but she didn't cry at all. She suspected that Xu Zhixian, who was turning his back on her, had frightened her.In the next second, the little girl reached out to Xu Zhixian for a hug.

Mu Qingqiu: ...you little brat.

The girl's mother was queuing up to weigh the meat just now, and now she came in a hurry, and saw her child was covered in dirty water and was hugging a man in a suit with the latest Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. The child got into trouble again.

Seeing her mother approaching, the girl called out "Mom", her small mouth cracked into a smile, and one of her front teeth fell out.

"I'm sorry. Qianqian has caused you trouble."

"It's all right. The child knocked out a tooth, and the wound was stained with water. Let's disinfect it at home." Xu Zhixian didn't care at all, and put the little girl down.

The clerk hurried over with a first-aid kit: "Ma'am, where is your child? Let me sterilize her briefly."

"Hey. Good." The girl's mother held the girl's hand: "Have you said thank you to him?"

"Thank you bro!" The little girl's mouth was a bit leaky, but her voice was sweet, like a cream cake.

Mu Qingqiu had already bought the fish just now, and left with Xu Zhixian after seeing the clerk coming.Xu Zhixian turned around and the girl smiled and waved her hand.

The two of them didn't go far, only to hear the little girl explain to her mother: "There are grilled fish fillets here, so there are two (two) in the mother's pot. Li (you) promised me that I could choose the (snack) in the mother's pot..."

The tone of the girl's mother sounded very speechless: "Okay. The tooth that happened to move has also fallen out, so I don't need to take you to pull it out. Sigh."

Mu Qingqiu saw Xu Zhixian, who smelled like aquatic products, pursed his lips and smiled, and said after a while: "The little girl is quite cute."

Next to the meat is a refrigerator for yogurt and milk.Mu Qingqiu took a box of yogurt, and selected a few breads from the side. After checking the production dates one by one, he said to Xu Zhixian, "Go to the snack area. I want to eat potato chips."

"Okay." Xu Zhixian nodded, his eyes full of doting.

At this time, the big shopping cart is half full.

Mu Qingqiu entered the snack area, looking at the shelves one by one, and when he saw something he liked, he took it off and threw it into the shopping cart.

I struggled for a while in front of a row of potato chips of different flavors, and finally took 5 bags of value-packed potato chips in one breath. When I wanted to get the chocolate biscuits next to me, my hands were not empty. The people who followed him are gone.

Mu Qingqiu went back to the shelf just now, only to see Xu Zhixian staring at a family of three not far away in a daze.

The little boy in overalls stood in the imported snack area, picking left and right, muttering something.It was too far away to know what he was talking about, but judging by the expression on his face, he seemed to be struggling with which one to choose.

"Don't worry about it, just buy it all. Dad will pay for it! I got double hundred in the final exam, as a reward!"

"No! You just know how to get used to him! Didn't you already buy a small train for the reward of achievement? The rules set can't be changed!" One. Otherwise, I won’t have a good meal.”

Mu Qingqiu stood behind Xu Zhixian holding snacks and did not speak.

That is the happiness that Xu Zhixian has always hoped for.

The little boy finally chose a box of seaweed, put down the fruit candy in his hand, and climbed onto the cart.

Seeing the little boy leaving with his parents, Xu Zhixian was distracted, but when he looked left and right, he saw people coming and going, but Mu Qingqiu was nowhere to be seen, so he hurriedly pushed the cart to another shelf to look for it, but was pulled back behind him.

"Don't look for it. Here it is." Mu Qingqiu pulled him back, and threw five large bags of potato chips into the car, "Let's go, I still want to buy biscuits." After speaking, he pulled the car and turned a corner.

Bought a whole car.

Mu Qingqiu was finally satisfied, and the two pushed the cart to pay the bill.

There were always a lot of people in the supermarket a few years ago. Mu Qingqiu looked up and found a place with relatively few people to check out. There were a lot of children who came to the supermarket with their parents, almost every checkout counter had a family of three.

"There are quite a lot of people. I thought Jiangkou City had more immigrants." Mu Qingqiu said looking at the distant team.

"It is true that there are more migrants, but there are also locals. This place is very close to the old city, so there are many people in the supermarket." Xu Zhixian said.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I finally reached the cash register.

Generally, there are small candies such as chewing gum or adult products near the cash register.

It just so happened that what Mu Qingqiu placed in this row was not chewing gum.

Mu Qingqiu looked at the cardboard boxes on the shelf, and counted in his mind how many usable ones were left in the bedside table.

"Didn't you buy a lot last time?" Xu Zhixian followed Mu Qingqiu's eyes and asked.

"Actually, there is only one box..." Mu Qingqiu pursed his lips after finishing speaking.

"Oh, let's take a few." Xu Zhixian reached out and took three boxes of L's.

"It's too young..." Mu Qingqiu whispered.

Xu Zhixian paused, put down the three, took the two boxes on the right, and threw them into the car.

There are too many things, and it took more than ten minutes to check out.Xu Zhixian swiped his card, Mu Qingqiu put his pockets on, the two had a clear division of labor.

After that, it took another 2 minutes for the cashier to print a receipt.

Finally moved the contents of the car to the trunk.The two got into the car.

After putting on the seat belt, Xu Zhixian asked Mu Qingqiu: "Go to the island to get clothes, and then go home?"

"En." Mu Qingqiu nodded.

The silver Spartan drove onto the bridge, and the guard saw the license plate number and let it go immediately.

From the moment he got on the bridge, the atmosphere in the car became gloomy. Even though the music in the car was playing upbeat pop music, Mu Qingqiu could still feel Xu Zhixian's unhappiness.

The afterglow of the setting sun was still adorning the river, and the Xu family's villa was already brightly lit, as dazzling and luxurious as usual.

The car stopped at the main entrance, Xu Zhixian unbuckled his seat belt and turned to Mu Qingqiu, "Are you going to get out of the car with me? Or wait for me here?"

The melodious piano sound came from outside the car window.Mu Qingqiu hesitated for a moment, but got out of the car with Xu Zhixian.

"Xu Shao." The old housekeeper came to open the door in person, "Madam and ladies are having a dance."

"Understood. I'll take some things, and I won't be back for a few days. You don't need to tell Wang Ma that I'm back." Xu Zhixian ordered, and pulled Qingqiu up the stairs from the corridor on the right.

After entering the room, Xu Zhixian opened the closet and put all the clothes into the large suitcase.

"Are you moving?" Mu Qingqiu joked, sitting on the bed and helping Xu Zhixian fold his clothes.

"That's right. I'll move in and live with you, okay?" Xu Zhixian squatted on the ground and packed his suitcase. Hearing Mu Qingqiu's question, he raised his head and said, with a serious expression on his face.

"Okay, didn't you say that before?" Mu Qingqiu smiled.

"No. I mean, we'll live together from now on."

Mu Qingqiu was stunned by the question, he didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he spit out three words: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'm easy to take care of."

"No... There will always be some contradictions after staying for a long time. Will this decision..."

"Too fast?" Xu Zhixian asked back.

"Hmm..." Mu Qingqiu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Before, it was because I dawdled too long, so I almost missed it. I..." Xu Zhixian paused for a moment, and said, "If you don't like it, I'll come back after the Chinese New Year."

Mu Qingqiu sensed that Xu Zhixian didn't like to come back here. He organized his thoughts and said, "I've always lived alone, so maybe my living habits are a bit lonely. I'm afraid you won't get used to it. During the few days of Chinese New Year, treat it as a break-in. Is the date okay? If something hinders you, just tell me directly. "

Mu Qingqiu knew that Xu Zhixian had always spoken directly, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't put himself in other people's shoes.In order to avoid the accumulation of conflicts, Mu Qingqiu felt that these should be settled early.

"I don't dislike it. I felt at ease last night being hugged by you." Mu Qingqiu looked at Xu Zhixian and said, reaching out his hand to smooth the frown that had been frowning since entering the door.

"Sorry. I'm a little..." Xu Zhixian lowered his head and continued to arrange his clothes.

"Is it because of Auntie's banquet?" Mu Qingqiu squatted down to be at the same level as Xu Zhixian, and asked.

"Well, a little bit. I've always been prone to this when it comes to my parents. I'm sorry." Xu Zhixian smiled helplessly.

Mu Qingqiu lightly kissed Xu Zhixian's forehead: "You don't have to say sorry to me." He got up and folded the last suit on the bed and put it in the suitcase.

Xu Zhixian opened the drawer, and stuffed the socks and underwear into the suitcase.

There are not many things to take away, most of them are clothes.

Xu Zhixian quickly sorted it out.

"Actually, I was thinking about one thing a long time ago." Xu Zhixian zipped up and said.

"what's up?"

"I want to sell this villa, and then use some money to buy a small apartment for Wang Ma. Lin Er and the others also want to leave." Xu Zhixian stood up, picked up the suitcase, "I took over this matter from Lin I've been thinking about it since the beginning."

"It's up to you. The ownership is in your hands, isn't it?" Mu Qingqiu said.

He knew that Xu Zhixian didn't have many memories of this place.Xu Zhixian has lived in an international school since junior high school, and lived in a student apartment in the United States. Because his father is not the eldest son, Xu Zhixian's overseas study career was not very rich, let alone when he came back to start his own company.

The only memory is that when he was very young, he played with mud in the backyard of the villa, and Wang Ma accompanied him.

Xu Zhixian saw Mu Qingqiu's appearance of having nothing to do with himself, and smiled: "Let's go, go home."

Pulling the suitcase and opening the door, Mu Qingqiu saw a noble lady standing at the door: "You still have the face to come back! I don't know why Grandpa gave you all the property under his name!"

"Second Sister. You waited so long to come up, is that just to say this? Why didn't you tell me before you gave it to me? I fought for it myself. Qingqiu, let's go." Xu Zhixian looked indifferent, turned around and stretched out his hand to Mu Qingqiu.

"Don't go! You obviously didn't come back once or twice a week, but you drove everyone out! Isn't this occupying the latrine and not shitting! It's fine if we drive out, even the third uncle and the third aunt Lanshan Villa! Do you still have a conscience?"

"Girl, your analogy is really vivid. If a house is compared to a latrine, then the people who live here are all..." Mu Qingqiu didn't say the whole thing, but everyone who listened knew what it meant.

"Who are you? Just meddling in our family's affairs?" the woman asked arrogantly.

"He is qualified." Xu Zhixian said coldly, "My parents went to the Lanshan Villa because they wanted to go, and they were willing to live there. I didn't prohibit them from coming back, did they come back if they didn't want to come back? If I really Kicked my parents out, where are you now?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhixian led Mu Qingqiu to avoid her and went downstairs.

"You...!" Mu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the sound of a woman stomping behind him, and followed Xu Zhixian downstairs.

Just as Mu Qingqiu put on his seat belt, he heard Xu Zhixian's car window slam.

The person outside the window is not the same as the one just now.

Xu Zhixian pulled down the car window and said, "Mom? What's the matter?"

"Didn't you tell me that you went to America? Why did you come back?" asked the woman in a dark green court dress.

"The company has something to do, so I'm back. I'll be staying at a friend's house these few days, so you can stay at ease." Xu Zhixian said.

"Oh. The company has something to do. I just saw Xiaotang go upstairs, didn't she say anything?" The woman asked worriedly, then lowered her eyelids, "Don't take anything seriously. Just These days, we will go back in a few days, ah."

"I know. Dad is also at the meeting?" Xu Zhixian asked.

"No. It's not that you don't know, he doesn't like these things, and went to the Grand Theater to listen to the music. He came back very late these days. He even scolded me, saying that he was not as comfortable as Lanshan."

Xu Zhixian nodded: "Oh. Then I'm leaving."

"Wait. After the Chinese New Year, if you're not busy, go back to Lanshan. It's not a big house, the one you bought for us. What your father said before was angry. He reads the newspaper every day now. Before your company He was worried when something happened."

"Okay. Go back, and don't wear a shawl when you come out."

"It's okay to bring your friends with you." The woman bent over again and waved to Mu Qingqiu.

Mu Qingqiu was a little surprised and responded.

"I'm going back. Be careful when driving." The woman waved her hand, turned and left.

The car drove out of the bridge, and when the traffic light was waiting, Xu Zhixian turned to Mu Qingqiu and said, "Ask whatever you want. As long as I know, I can tell you." Since the car started, Mu Qingqiu looked at himself several times , every time he hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing. I thought you didn't have a good relationship with your parents." Mu Qingqiu said while holding the seat belt.

"It's not bad. But it's really alienated. My father has always been very strict with me, and he often has a straight face. I was afraid of him when I was young. But he didn't appear often. Wang Ma said that when I was very young, I did it several times. I call him uncle. I am also very estranged from my mother. How should I put it? Like the old society, just respect. But if one day she passes away, I will not be very sad. I am more worried about Wang than her Mom is in good health." Xu Zhixian said without any disturbance.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded?" Xu Zhixian asked Mu Qingqiu, but he didn't dare to look at him.He didn't know what Mu Qingqiu would think if he said that.He was afraid that Mu Qingqiu would not understand.

"No. You are not cold-blooded at all." Mu Qingqiu said, "Family love is mutual. Uncles and aunts didn't accompany you much when you were young, so you naturally don't feel too much towards them. This It's normal."

The CD in the car started playing from the beginning again, Mu Qingqiu pressed Quit, and changed to another one.

Dusk is always short. When they came out of the villa just now, the sky was completely dark.Even though there are no cars on the road, the lights in the city are still dazzling.

Mu Qingqiu suddenly felt that he didn't know Xu Zhixian well enough.He always believed that Xu Zhixian was confident in everything.That doesn't seem to be the case now.

But Mu Qingqiu felt that it was nothing, and he was not a superman.Everyone has weaknesses.This can't block Xu Zhixian's shining point.

"Zhixian. How about staying in your company at night? I want to watch the sunrise."

"Aren't you tossing?"

"It's a bit..." Mu Qingqiu frowned and thought for a while, "Tomorrow, tomorrow must go."

"Why?" Xu Zhixian asked puzzled.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

"The time is set by people themselves, and the sunrise and sunset are the same every day."

"I know. But the meaning is given by people." Mu Qingqiu said with a serious face.

Tomorrow's sunset is a farewell to the self in the old world, and the first sunrise of the new year is to welcome the self who has decided to live in this world seriously, even though he knows that he only has 61 years.

Xu Zhixian didn't know why, but Mu Qingqiu thought, then it's better to accompany him.Isn't this the meaning of two people?

The author has something to say: the Chinese New Year part is not finished yet.More in a few days.After all, it's time to end the year.

Apart from these two episodes, there are four more. (I always feel that I can write 10 words/laugh and cry)

------

The author's nagging: There is nothing important today, I have been coding all day.After reading it myself, I suddenly wondered if the character Xu Zhixian would collapse a bit? (The original intention is to describe more three-dimensionally) and I always feel like I am writing a journal.I don't know how you feel when you read it?Do you think it is too long-winded?
