you do not sell try

Although Mr. Rong refused to accept his old age, he was old after all, and his legs and feet were bad, so he lived on the first floor all the time.Rong Xu's father and several uncles had rooms on the second floor, but almost no one lives there. Except for Rong Xu, the bedrooms of the younger generation are all on the third floor.Rong Ranqing walked ahead into the study and sat down on the wicker chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was a round table in front of her, and there was another wicker chair facing her on the other side of the round table, followed by Rong Xu who walked in. He locked the door casually and sat down on this rattan chair.

There is a woven tray on the round table, and a set of purple sand tea set is placed inside. The mouth of the pot is filled with white mist, and the air is full of the fragrance of jasmine tea.When Mrs. Rong was still there, she loved to tend flowers and plants, and was very good at making scented tea, and even wrote a handbook of experience.No one would have imagined that in that chaotic era, the favorite of Mr. Rong, who was full of gangsters and later became the commander-in-chief, was not fine wine but scented tea made by Mrs. Rong herself.

It's just that after Mrs. Rong passed away, Mr. Rong never drank scented tea again, because no matter who brewed it, he couldn't taste the flavor that Mrs. Rong made with her own hands.Until Rong Ranqing was born, the facial features that gradually opened up were very similar to the old lady's, even her temperament was similar, she loved flowers and books, and once saw the old lady's handwriting in the study of Mr. Rong.The flavor she made from the scented tea she learned from above is not much different from the old lady's, but others can't make it. I have to say that this is also fate.All in all, everyone in the Rong family knew that Miss Rong made good scented tea, and Mr. Rong also liked it very much.

Seeing her younger brother also sat down, Rong Ranqing didn't ask immediately, but picked up the purple sand pot and poured Rong Xu a cup of scented tea first.Juyi Qi nourishes the body, and the tea ceremony is originally very calm and calm, which helps to cultivate sentiment and remove distracting thoughts.Every time Mr. Rong loses his temper, drinking a cup of tea made by her will surely lower his anger.And Rong Ranqing, who has been immersed in tea ceremony for many years, has also cultivated her temperament very well. Even though she was shocked by the news just heard, the two of them slowly drank scented tea without talking. After drinking a cup of tea, their turbulent thoughts calmed down. .

Rong Ranqing put down the empty cup, looked at the little brother sitting opposite her, his face was firm and determined like an adult, and he didn't feel impatient after drinking tea with him for a long time, but he couldn't hold his breath first.Nodding in my heart, my face remained calm: "'He' is a man?"

Rong Xu didn't put down the empty cup he drank, but held it in his hand to play with. Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought of something and smiled warmly: "He has a good temper. If you see him, elder sister, you will definitely like it."

"So, you've decided?" She didn't say it directly, but both of them knew what they were referring to.

"In my whole life, I've always recognized him." When Rong Xu said this, his expression became solemn, and anyone who saw this expression could feel his seriousness and determination.Rong Ranqing naturally felt it too, and was silent for a long time.

People from the Rong family say it sounds like love, but put it bluntly, it means admitting death, the kind of people who believe in something even if it is wrong, and go all the way to black.Fortunately, the Rong family has not yet appeared on the wrong road and rushed forward.She knows her brother very well, knows that his nature is not bad, and he has strong self-control and has a bottom line, and he will not make any big mistakes to harm others or himself, so she has always been very relieved.She is the eldest sister, and it is his responsibility to watch her brother not go astray—but homosexuality is not a disease.It's not abnormal to like someone of the same gender as yourself just because you're unlucky.

"...No matter what you choose, as long as you don't get out of trouble, my sister will support you. But, I also hope that you promise me one thing—" Rong Ranqing looked at Rong Xu and said earnestly: "I hope you take care of yourself , and respect others." When she looked up the information, she saw that the circle was messy, and she was not worried. She also knew that this was only a partial phenomenon and could not be generalized, but she was always worried, so she wanted a guarantee.

"I promise. Sis, don't worry! I know everything." Rong Xu made a solemn promise, and finally showed a convincing and relaxed smile.Putting the cups he had been playing with on the tray, Rong Xu saw that it was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, so he stood up and said, "Sister, it's time for us to go out." Tonight is New Year's Eve, and his father, second uncle, The third uncle and two cousins ​​are busy making arrangements in the hall. The servants can also do these tasks, but it will be more fun and feel like a new year if you always participate by yourself.

Rong Ranqing nodded when she heard the words, and let Rong Xu go first if she still had to clean the tea set, and Rong Xu didn't shirk.The old man is old and has limited energy and can't take care of it. His father is always in the arms of women. He is not responsible, and he can't take care of it. The second uncle lives outside all year round and doesn't understand and can't take over. The third uncle devoted himself to archaeology. Totally unsophisticated.In the past, Rong Ranqing was in charge, but it is inappropriate for her to be a junior and not yet married. In this way, the burden can only fall on Rong Xu—since he has chosen this path, he has to shoulder these responsibilities .Fortunately, Mr. Rong has retired for many years, except for his close relatives, he basically does not move around. Even if Rong Xu took over for the first time, he did a good job at 89, making it impossible to fault.

When everything is arranged, the lights are already on and off, and the lights of thousands of families are lit.Firecrackers are prohibited in Kyoto, so you can only see the colorful glazed lights, but they are silently beautiful.A mahjong table was set up in the hall. The old man, his father, second uncle, and his family's second son Rong Ranqin gathered at the table, and the third uncle sat in the hall with his eldest niece Rong Ranqing and youngest niece Rong Ranyu. Watching the Spring Festival Gala on the sofa, the second aunt made sure that the dumplings and other food in the kitchen were all ready before she sat behind the second daughter to give her advice. There was laughter and joy in the hall.

Rong Xu took advantage of this period of time to go to the balcony and dial a phone, and the phone was connected after two rings. Then he heard the voice that was as flat and cool as the master's temper say hello, and he quickly responded :"it's me."

It was quiet for a while, then there were rustling footsteps and Chen Qing's slightly rapid breathing, and then the TV sound from there was no longer heard. It was obvious that Chen Qing changed places before picking up the conversation: "Your family Are you ready?"

"It's ready, how about you?"

"The preparations in the countryside are done early, long ago." When Chen Qing received the call, he was sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala with his aunt and younger brother Chen. He didn't stop until he walked to the place where he could see the starry sky in the yard.He picked up the phone and looked up at the same time: "There are many stars today."

"That's right..." Rong Xu raised his head in Wenyan, the city is incomparable to the countryside, the sky is heavily polluted by photochemical smog, and only a few hazy stars can be seen.Even though so much can be seen under the cover of smog, one can imagine how dark the night will be in the clean air of the countryside, and how dazzling the stars will be—the obsidian-like night is embedded with tiny broken diamonds, reflecting the bright The radiance, even the place without lighting is much brighter, as if everything has lost its cover, exposed to this cool silver radiance.

They are even separated by several provinces, but the air they breathe is the same, the stars they see are the same, and the sky above them is the same—the distance is very far, and the distance seems to be non-existent.Even the two palm-sized wireless phones seemed to be connected by a thread, connecting them together.Looking up at the starry sky above their heads, both of them were silent for a moment.It seemed that something was about to come out, but it was too short to surface, my heart was full of sour and rising emotions, there were many things I wanted to say but I couldn't say a word, so I had to choose to remain silent in the end.

With the mobile phone close to the ear, you can hear the clear breathing sound from the earpiece. You can imagine that the other party must also hold the mobile phone tightly in the palm of your hand like yourself——wanting to hold your breath to hear the other party’s voice clearly, but hold your breath It didn't take long before returning to normal breathing but it seemed a little rough.My heart should be full of joy and encouragement, but I am also uneasy and worried about gains and losses.Whether it is for Chen Qing or Rong Xu, this is a fresh experience. They have never been "tortured" by this kind of emotion from others, and they all feel that they should say something, but when it comes to saying it, they don't know what to say. Throat tight and unable to speak.

There was a moment of silence in the microphone, which was different from the silence on the previous phone call.

Standing on the balcony, Rong Xu was extremely sober from the air-conditioning. After all, he was used to attacking.Although he is willing to lurk for the sake of his prey, he is unwilling to endure forever. His forbearance has always been for the ultimate inevitable result.Yes, necessarily.Because nothing can make him let go, and he will never let go.When Rong Xu opened his mouth, he could clearly see the white breath he exhaled: "It will be a new year in about ten minutes, so let me say in advance——Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Rong Xu's deep voice fell, and a clear voice came from the other side, obviously waiting for him to speak and answer immediately.I'm waiting for him, and he's waiting for me——this realization put Rong Xu in such a good mood that he even squinted his eyes.

"I'm going to cook dumplings in a few hours... I really want to eat yours."

"..." Chen Qing raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks that were reddened by the cold air, but for some reason he felt a little hot instead: "I made a lot of dumplings, and there is still half of the stuffing left, if you come back early, you can catch up with the meal... If it’s late, it won’t take much effort to do it again.”

"Heh..." Rong Xu chuckled, and said again in a low voice: "I still want to eat the noodles you made."

"If you want to eat...I'll make it for you."

"Anything is fine?"

Chen Qing's voice sounded a little shy: "If I could do it..."

"I'm going back to Cui City on the fifth day of the new year." There are not many relatives who are close to the Rong family, and he can basically handle everything and return to Cui City on the fifth day of the new year.

"So soon..." Chen Qing thought it would be at least around the eighth day of the lunar new year, which is the time when most companies resume work early, or even after the Lantern Festival later.

"You know what? I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these days..."

"why?"

"Because I can't eat your food—I just want to eat your food."

Chen Qing's ears were almost burning, as if what he was holding was not a mobile phone but an iron, he stammered and replied: "I, the food I cook is not, not that good..."

"But my favorite—" Rong Xu lowered his head when he said this, his slightly sunken and deep eyes could almost suck people's soul in: "It's also the most suitable for me."

The wall clock in the living room rang suddenly, and the ethereal sound echoed in the hall, and even floated out of the window to the balcony. On the other side, Chen Qing also heard Didi's hourly announcement and the CCTV host's time announcement from the room. ——12 o'clock, New Year's Eve.
