Rebirth of a virtuous wife and man

Although Lu Xijie didn't know why Chen Yuan suddenly went crazy, he still took down the things on the balcony and put all the potted plants on it.There is plenty of sunshine here, and it happens that the things Chen Yuan brought are basically full of sunshine.

Seeing that Lu Xijie had also inserted the severed head of the dragon claw chrysanthemum into the flower soil, Chen Yuan asked embarrassingly, "Can this survive?"

Lu Xijie said: "Put it in the soil and it will grow roots slowly. It's easy to feed. That's why the pot is a little smaller. It's good to change it later." Then he looked at the two pots and didn't want to die Separate prickly pears and cacti, ask my mother to find some paper shells to pad their pot bottoms a little bit, so that they can be close together, and said: "Let's keep them like this for now, a family Maybe the cactus should be able to grow together, or the cactus will have to be beheaded."

The leaves of the cactus should have pierced directly into the cracks of the cactus due to some kind of momentum, so both sides were slightly injured.In fact, it's not impossible to take it apart, but Lu Xijie thinks it's good to look at it like this now, with a warm feeling of cuddling together.

Fang Jing followed into the room and stood there for a long time without saying a word. She always felt that when the two children talked, there was a sense of powerlessness that made it impossible for people to intervene between them easily, so she didn't look at them until they stopped talking. Said: "You guys are chatting, I'll cook. Chen Yuan, what do you like to eat? Auntie who doesn't have one, go buy it."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Dong walked into the gate with a big fish that was alive and kicking, and he couldn't wait to shout in the yard: "Auntie, Xiaojie, look what I brought for you?"

Fang Jing went out and saw that it was a big grass carp, and said "Yo", "This is really fresh, where did it come from?"

Zhang Dong said with a smile: "A middle school classmate is making these now. I went to see him today and he brought me one. Every New Year's day, he also brought me some live shrimp and hairtail. I'll bring it back sometime." After speaking, he saw Chen Yuan was there and greeted him, "Chen Yuan, are you here too? I thought it would be New Year's Eve when we meet again. Just in time, let's have a drink together later."

So Fang Jing went to cook boiled fish, and Lu Xijie went out to buy wine.Chen Yuan and Zhang Dong sat down and chatted for a while after confirming that there was nothing that could help them in the kitchen.

When Chen Yuan heard that Zhang Dong wanted to go to Treasure Paradise to continue promoting, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he briefly talked about some regulations there and the details that need to be paid attention to.Also, like Baoyuan’s marketing department, there will be training every half a month, so if you want to work there, you must live there at least part of the time and so on.

Zhang Dong thinks there is nothing wrong with these, he and I have time, and it is also a good thing to learn more things.As for living alone in other places, how different is it from his current life? He is used to living alone.At most, it is renting a house, and it is probably not used to living in one's own home.

Chen Yuan nodded and said that was nothing. After he finished speaking, he went to touch the cigarette, but found that he was out of food again. He asked Zhang Dong: "Is there any smoke?"

Zhang Dong said: "No, I basically don't have this hobby. But Xiaojie seems to have it." He pointed to the sugar jar where Lu Xijie put his cigarettes, "I've seen him put cigarettes there, but I don't know if it's convenient for him to smoke. "

Chen Yuan actually really wanted to get one of those, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t move, after all, it’s not good to mess with his things, so he held back for a while before saying: “Forget it, I’d better go out and buy a box. "

There is a small shop not far from home, which also sells some snacks, seasonings, tobacco and alcohol, but Chen Yuan has never been there, so he doesn't know, but it's a coincidence, Lu Xijie came back after he left the gate for a while , so he asked Lu Xijie, "Can you smoke cigarettes?"

Lu Xijie was slightly surprised, "How do you know I have cigarettes?!"

Chen Yuan laughed, "Zhang Dong said, then I'll get one?"

Lu Xijie said hesitantly, "Okay..."

Chen Yuan unceremoniously went to open Lu Xijie's candy jar, but when he opened it, he found that it was not the boxed kind, but sticks, and only one kind, all of which were his favorite brands to smoke.This cigarette... Obviously he gave it to Lu Xijie every time, even the box he left in Mingzhu's homeland should be here.But what is Lu Xijie doing with all this savings?If it's just that one box with a lot of them, he still thinks it's normal, but for this one, he knows what's going on just by looking at the quantity.

Zhang Dong asked casually, "Didn't you buy it?"

Chen Yuan came back to his senses and took out one from the jar, "Well, Xiaojie said he could smoke so he didn't buy it." After speaking, he lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and found that the smell of the cigarette had already faded , but inhaled into the lungs is an inexplicable taste.He put the lid back on and stood there for a while looking at the little animals on the jar, thinking.

Zhang Dong said at this time: "Do you think Xiaojie is weird sometimes? Why does he save these cigarettes if he doesn't smoke?"

Chen Yuan didn't know how to answer this question, because he couldn't figure it out either.In other words, he may have figured it out, but he's not sure if his guess is right.And if so, how to answer this question?He is 23 after the new year, but Lu Xijie is only sixteen, and there is still a hurdle in his heart that he cannot overcome.

But thinking about it this way, he seemed to suddenly understand what Fang Jing was guarding against him.Maybe women really have such a thing as a sixth sense?But that's not right, he has no evil intentions towards Lu Xijie, so why is Fang Jing guarding against him?

At this time, a voice suddenly popped out of my mind and said: Do you really have no evil intentions at all?Dare you swear?

Lu Xijie didn't know what Chen Yuan was thinking, but when he entered the room and saw Chen Yuan was stroking the little rabbit on his sugar jar, he felt a little weird, as if what Chen Yuan was touching was not his thing but his. Like a human being, there is a strange energy, especially when Chen Yuan turns around and looks over, those two gazes seem to be able to penetrate his heart and touch his soul, which is a bit creepy.

Chen Yuan saw that Lu Xijie frowned almost imperceptibly, and said, "We've talked about the taste, is there a cigarette shop nearby? Take me around."

Lu Xijie nodded and walked out first.Chen Yuan took his jacket and followed steadily. Zhang Dong, who was behind him, always felt something strange, but he couldn't tell.

Fang Jing was putting seasoning into the pot, but when she saw her son coming out with Chen Yuan like this, she thought about it and forgot what she had put in before. Later, she scooped a spoonful of salt into it, thinking to ignore it, probably nothing Put the salt!Completely forgetting that she could actually have a taste first.

But this time, after Lu Xijie and Chen Yuan went out, Chen Yuan originally wanted to wear a coat, but when he saw that Lu Xijie was not wearing it, he put his own on him without thinking. After he finished, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Lu Xijie also seemed to have sensed something was wrong, so he put it on after a moment of refusal, and asked casually, "Who did you get those potted plants from?"

Chen Yuan paused, "How do you know? Maybe I bought it."

Lu Xijie chuckled, "How many people will sell cactus and dragon's claw chrysanthemum these days? If the weather is warmer, some old men and old ladies will come out to sell some, but there must be none in this season, let alone raising such a big one. But you It’s really possible to move, this is almost catching up with the robbery, right?”

That dragon's claw chrysanthemum must be sixty or seventy centimeters high, and he felt a pain in his head just now when he looked at that part of his severed head.Flower arrows are about to come out, Chen Yuan, a prodigal bastard, can survive after such a break, but it will be difficult to see flowers blooming again.

Chen Yuan said: "My mother raised it. Anyway, a lot of her sisters have this thing. If she raises it again, she will ask for it again. If it doesn't work, I will buy her something else. She actually likes flowers, but the old man is not very willing." Spend money in these places, so you can support what you want."

Lu Xijie understood that, after all, his mother was also like this, and when she had time to crochet anything, she used the thread left over from knitting sweaters for him, and rarely bought them on purpose.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the small shop. Chen Yuan took a box of cigarettes casually, took out a wallet from his trousers pocket, and gave the shopkeeper 50 yuan. There was a difference of seven yuan, so Chen Yuan said, "You don't need to change, the rest of the money will give me lollipops."

The shopkeeper tore off seven Alps and handed them to Lu Xijie, "Here."

Lu Xijie took it over, and wanted to ask, am I so like waiting for candy? !Everyone said "give it to me", why don't you listen to consumers? !

Chen Yuan seemed to see what Lu Xijie was thinking, and asked with a low smile when he went out, "What's wrong? Doesn't it feel good to be treated like a child?"

Lu Xijie turned around and stared at him blankly for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he saw a pile of cement pipes next to him and stood on it, making himself a head taller than Chen Yuan. Then he patted Chen Yuan's head and said in a coaxing tone: "Little friend!" , Uncle will give you candy, would you say it's okay?"

At this time, a five or six-year-old boy happened to come by next to him. Seeing Lu Xijie and Chen Yuan so frightened, he slammed against the wall and stared at them until Lu Xijie and Chen Yuan realized that someone was there, pretending to be something Nothing happened and left, and the child suddenly regained consciousness and ran up with a roar, "Mom~ Mom~~ The handsome brother from the neighbor's house is a lunatic~~~"

Lu Xijie who was closing the door: "..."

Fang Jing has already cooked the fish. Although it is a bit salty, the overall taste is not bad.Lu Xijie went to wash his hands and helped to serve the rice. Fang Jing took advantage of this time to quickly fry two more vegetarian dishes, and put the freshly fried meat sauce on a plate of cold dishes. Finally, the four of them took their seats together. It's getting more and more lively.

But there is something in Fang Jing's heart...

She drank something and said, "Chen Yuan, you drove here, drink less."

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Dong said, "Auntie, wouldn't it be nice to stay here at night, anyway, we are all outsiders, and besides, we are all boys, what are you afraid of? Chen Yuan and I will definitely not bully Xiaojie!"

Fang Jing was silenced, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice!

Lu Xijie must not be able to start a conversation at such a time, but Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked Zhang Dong, "Do you live here often?" How do you say it is the same as your own home?

Zhang Dong said: "I'm the only one in my family, and it's not interesting, so I come here to eat when I have nothing to do. I have a thick skin, and I don't see that my aunt and Xiaojie dislike me!"

Fang Jing said: "Look at what you said, kid, when did Auntie dislike you? Just treat this place as your own home."

Zhang Dong suddenly lowered his head when he heard it for some reason, maybe he was too sad after drinking, or Fang Jing's unintentional words touched his heart, so after a while he choked up and said: "Auntie, how about May I recognize you as a godmother?"

Fang Jing didn't expect Zhang Dong to have such a proposal, but she has known him for a long time, and Zhang Dong is really a good kid, so she said, "Okay, as long as you like it, what's wrong with it?"

Zhang Dong got excited and quickly filled Fang Jing's drink again, because he knew Fang Jing never drank.He offered the drink and called out: "Godmother."

In the end, Fang Jing didn't feel bad, he started to cry himself.His mother left early, and his memory of her was a little blurry, he only vaguely remembered that his mother was also like Fang Jing, simple and virtuous, always looking at him with a pair of warm eyes.

Fang Jing quickly took out a tissue for Zhang Dong, "This child, why are you still crying? Did you regret it just after you recognized your godmother?"

Lu Xijie sighed secretly, and then patted Zhang Dong on the shoulder, "Come on, don't make a big splash on a good day, it's better to be happy, let's have a drink, and wish everyone better luck in the New Year than in previous years."

Zhang Dong hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Yes, yes, the New Year is better than previous years!" As he spoke, he touched his cup to the cups of several people, and drank it in one gulp.

Zhang Dong didn't care about Sanqi 21 when he was drinking in the future, he hadn't had a drink or a meal with anyone in this way for many years, today was rare, he could indulge a bit.

Chen Yuan and Lu Xijie drank together with him, but they were good at drinking, and nothing happened after drinking for a long time, but Zhang Dong fell down after drinking two bottles. He was still talking not long ago, but he just blinked In just a few blinks, the man lay down on the table and snored loudly.

Fang Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I thought I could drink a lot, but after a long time, this is the amount of alcohol?"

Lu Xijie said: "I'll help him in, if I wait for a while, I think he will slip on the ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dong started to slip under the table. Chen Yuan hurriedly helped him and looked at Lu Xijie, "I'll help you, go and get him a pillow."

Zhang Dong has lived here many times, and there are his own quilts and pillows here. When Lu Xijie saw that he was sleeping like this, he put the quilt on him directly, because he didn't know what to sleep on. when.

Seeing Lu Xijie busy there, Chen Yuan felt a little upset for some reason. He was his younger brother, why did he spread the quilt for Zhang Dong?He tilted his head to look at Zhang Dong's face that was as thin as bamboo sticks, and thought to himself, why is he so pleasing to the eye when viewed from a distance, but why is it so unpopular when viewed up close? !

So as soon as Lu Xijie finished making the bed, Chen Yuan threw Zhang Dong on the kang unceremoniously, and before Lu Xijie could do anything, he covered Zhang Dong with the quilt, even his head People are blindfolded.

Lu Xijie was stunned, "I said, he's not dead yet, why are you blindfolding him?"

Chen Yuan pulled down the quilt viciously, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a quilt here where I sleep at night?"

Lu Xijie shook his head, "No."

Chen Yuan was even more upset, "Then why did he have it?!"

Lu Xijie leaned against the wall and laughed, "He brings his own."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Seeing that her son and Chen Yuan hadn't finished drinking, Fang Jing just cleaned up Zhang Dong's used bowls and chopsticks and her own, so Chen Yuan and Lu Xijie continued to drink after they left.Fang Jing thought for a while and asked, "Drink less, don't drink too much to make you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Xijie said: "Understood, Mom, let's eat later, and stop drinking what's in the cup."

Chen Yuan was already [-]% sure that Fang Jing definitely had something in mind for him, so he also said, "Yes, Auntie, don't worry, I won't drink too much."

Fang Jing sighed, "Okay, then you two should eat more, and call me after eating." After speaking, she went back to her room.

Just across the door, some things are inconvenient to say, so Chen Yuan asked Lu Xijie, "What's the matter with Zhang Dong?" Although he had met Zhang Dong a few times, he didn't know much about his family's affairs, and he would be fine. To ask nonsense, so it has been unclear.

Lu Xijie heard Zhang Dong vaguely tell him something before, so he said: "It seems that some time ago, some relatives in his family had a birthday and he went there, but someone asked him at the banquet whether he was married or not, so he said yes. No, the relative said hurry up and hurry up. I guess he didn't think much about it at the time. Who knows that the relative would talk about him behind his back, saying that the child has no parents, and no one even made arrangements for the marriage. , Anyway, that’s about it, it’s just that some people talk nonsense.”

Chen Yuan really didn't know that Zhang Dong was an orphan, and he felt that it was not easy for him.But no matter how difficult it is, it seems to be better than theirs (?)

Lu Xijie seemed to think of him together, so the two of them looked at each other at the same time, silent.

When Fang Jing wanted to come out to clean up, the dining table had already been cleared, and it was clean, while Lu Xijie and Chen Yuan were busy in the kitchen.The two seemed to be afraid of waking her up, and the movements were relatively light. Chen Yuan was there throwing away the things that should be thrown away, and her son was there washing the dishes. They cooperated very tacitly, especially when they occasionally looked at each other and smiled, It felt like, like an old couple for years.

Chen Yuan felt that someone was watching, turned around and saw Fang Jing stopped what she was doing and called auntie.

Fang Jing said: "Don't be so busy, I finally came here, let Xiaojie do it." Then she saw her son looking over, and said: "Chen Yuan, you should stay here at night, it's not good to drive after drinking. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Lu Xijie again, "Son, your quilt is for one person, why don't you give me your quilt later?"

Lu Xijie said: "Let's talk about it later, Chen Yuan and I will go out for a walk, or we may go to the city, we want to buy some food or something, or there will be nothing to eat at night, and we have to bring out tomorrow morning Woolen cloth."

Fang Jing wanted to say that it would be nice to just live in her own home after returning to the city, why would she come back?But she thought that the car was still here, so she didn't say that.She secretly thought, maybe Chen Yuan is different from her son?But it's not the same. Why are you so kind to her son?Zhang Dong said on the table that the contract signed before is really beneficial and harmless to them.

Lu Xijie cleaned up the kitchen in a short while with quick hands and feet. He dried his hands and said to Chen Yuan, "I'm going to get dressed."

Chen Yuan didn't say anything, he didn't ask until after he went out, "Tell me something?"

Lu Xijie smiled helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just that my mother is always a little bit after she knows about me... I think you can understand what I mean."

Of course Chen Yuan understood, not to mention feeling defensive from Fang Jing, even when he was at home, his parents' attitude towards him was very uncomfortable at first.They are not the kind of obvious alienation or exclusion, but look at you with incomprehensible or even pity eyes, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, like soft cotton needles piercing into the skin bit by bit Same, maybe not painful, but definitely annoying.

Lu Xijie stopped at the intersection and stopped a car to get in, and then Chen Yuan also got into the car.It was close to the wholesale market, so they went there directly to buy vegetables and fish.Originally, Chen Yuan wanted to spend the money, but Lu Xijie didn't let it go, he said: "It's rare for you to go to my place for a meal, and I can still let you spend money?"

Chen Yuan saw Lu Xijie's back carrying vegetables and fruits, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It didn't take much time to go back, because it was faster to take a taxi, but since it was already late for lunch, and it took more time to drink, it was almost three o'clock when I came out.At this time, I bought vegetables and went back, and it was almost time for dinner.But when I got home, I found that Zhang Dong had already left.

Fang Jing said: "One of his classmates said that he went to the hospital. I saw that he ran away like burning his butt after answering the phone."

Because I ate quite full at noon, dinner was made quite late, and Fang Jing made porridge for fear that it would not be good for digestion, and then made some spring pancakes.It looks bland but quite mouthwatering.

Chen Yuan and Lu Xijie were not too hungry, so they didn't eat much and went back to the hut together. Since Zhang Dong was gone, there were enough bedding.But for some reason, Fang Jing felt even more disturbed.It turned out that with Zhang Dong around, she thought it was okay for three boys to sleep in the same room, but now it was only Chen Yuan and her son left, why was she so troubled in her heart, she didn't feel this way when Zhang Dong was sleeping here.

In fact, Chen Yuan had already sobered up. It is more accurate to say that he was not drunk at all, but he still covered Lu Xijie's quilt and spread Lu Xijie's mattress.He came up with this idea himself. He said that Lu Xijie's bedding was bigger than Zhang Dong's.But after he finished covering, he saw Lu Xijie getting into Zhang Dong's bed, and he felt upset again!

Chen Yuan is not stupid, he knows that this kind of mood should be regarded as jealous, but is he jealous of love or friendship?

Lu Xijie looked inexplicably at Chen Yuan's sneaky move of the quilt to his side, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Chen Yuan also whispered: "It's convenient for chatting, besides, it's cold here if you sleep alone, and we can stay warmer together."

Lu Xijie: "Pig, you? You are the head of the kang, put it in a warm place and move to a cold place without sleeping? Why are you so crazy at night?"

So Chen Yuan thought for a while, grabbed Lu Xijie's mattress and shook it lightly, "Get up."

Lu Xijie: "What's wrong?"

Seeing that Lu Xijie didn't move, Chen Yuan rolled up Lu Xijie with the quilt and carried him to the kang head! ! !
