Dumplings are always eaten at family reunions.

"Who said that?"

Sheng Weimin waved his hand and said no.We don't like this here.He talked nonsense, talking about how delicious mushrooms in Yunnan are, about bait rice noodles, about steam pot chicken, and about Chinese New Year, when the old man covered the ground with pine needles, and the room was full of fragrance.

However, Shao Youguang didn't pay much attention to Principal Sheng's lectures on local customs and customs. He didn't know what the smell of pine needles was, and he didn't think there was any Chinese New Year atmosphere now.

Spring is in full bloom, and he was thinking about things on his own. He just poked at Ji Jian when Sheng Weimin went out, and secretly expressed his dissatisfaction. Why do these dumplings still contain mushrooms? The aroma of yellow cabbage.He dipped the tip of his chopsticks in vinegar, ate what was in the bowl and looked at what was in the pot, and said, hey, there is also stewed mutton soup with this kind of cabbage, that is the correct solution for the cold winter months, don't you remember?Every family loves to eat.

On the surface, Ji Jian didn't say anything, but he didn't have a relationship with Shao Youguang any more. He tapped his index finger on the table to warn him to be careful in other people's territory, but he quietly swallowed his saliva.The cabbage that Shao Youguang said only grows in the Huaihe River area. Around the end of the year, farmers sell it all over the streets. The leaves are tender and cooked with mutton soup. Very fat.Ji Jian hasn't tasted it for a long time since he left home.

However, Shao Youguang wanted to hook his greedy worm that belonged to his hometown, and continued: "For several years, my mother had to send a box of cabbage when I didn't go home during the Chinese New Year, which made my friends laugh, saying that there is no cabbage. As a result, we got together to cook hot pot, poured it into the pot, and everyone rushed to eat.”

"You know my mother. She used to like to send things everywhere. There are many things. I said no, but I still have to send them. It's better for Aunt Song, right? Your mother won't do this much. It just adds to the confusion. I am so busy at the end of the year, who has the time to deal with such a large box of cabbage, I can’t finish it by myself.”

He really likes to play tricks when he talks. I can't finish it by myself, but the two of us are just right.But Ji Jian couldn't grasp the main point from his long speech.I can't think of it on weekdays, but after Shao Youguang mentioned it, I really miss that bite.Over the years, no one has ever sent him cabbage from his hometown.He felt that since meeting Shao Youguang, a certain part of his body that had been dusty for a long time began to recover slowly.When many people miss their homes, they start with their appetites.At this point, Ji Jian began to realize his nostalgia for that dilapidated place, but he was unwilling to admit it—if this was the case, how would people from these places cut out the Lanzhou ramen and Shaxian snack Huainan beef soup that filled the streets? The umbilical cord that opened home?

He couldn't bear it any longer and put a dumpling on Shao Youguang's vinegar plate, and gave the order concisely: "Eat."

Sheng Weimin's wife mixed dried mushrooms into the dumpling stuffing, which is regarded as a mountain delicacy in Yunnan, and it is the way of hospitality for ordinary people.Besides, China is so big, every inch has every inch of customs, this is called difference in textbooks, Shao Youguang must not have this awareness.

Sheng Weimin came back at this time, and at the same time, he was carrying two large bottles of white, grain wine, with a high degree of alcohol, so it would be unreasonable not to drink a few glasses today, right?

Ji Jian couldn't persuade him, so he strategically turned the artillery fire to Shao Youguang.It's a pity that Shao Youguang is not soft-hearted, so he didn't drink the wine.

It's been so many years in the society, and Shao Youguang's career is still there. Friendship at the wine table is necessary, but there is no need to be so hypocritical.But the reason that made him resolute not to drink at all was that Ji Jian was there, this person slept a few steps away at night, and he was really sure that what would happen if he drank.

Luckily, Shao Youguang was more careful, fearing that Sheng Weimin would lose face, so he said nonsense: "I stay up late at work every day, and my liver function is really not very good. Follow the doctor's advice."

It caused Sheng Weimin to ramble on about a lot of things now that young people don't pay attention to their bodies, and living well is more important than anything else.Shao Youguang didn't listen to a word, just found that Ji Jian turned his head to look at him, then turned his head to look at him again, without saying a word.He suddenly felt a little regretful that he had played a cruel trick just now, and had a lot of mental activities, and felt that it was really not a thing to worry the person he liked.

So Ji Jian was eating with his head down, when the person next to him suddenly poked his elbow, and sneaked under the table to show him the screen of his phone.Ji Jian felt that Shao Youguang was baffled, why he was still playing the trick of passing notes in class when he was a child, and he looked closely at the words written on it—I just lied to him.

Ji Jian had ten thousand words in his mind, and finally he could only approach in a low voice, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is worried about you?"

The wine was not finished, but when the two of them were about to leave, Shao Youguang seemed hesitant, and stayed at the door to say goodbye to Sheng Weimin until Ji Jian walked out.The two of them seemed to pat each other on the shoulders and call each other brothers: "Old Sheng, do you... have any troubles that you don't know about behind your sister-in-law's back."

Probably no one in his life has ever asked him why he was so upset. Sheng Weimin just drank a few cups by himself, thought about it for a while, slapped his head, and said cheerfully with his tongue: "What can I have, my wife can't." It's done after getting married. If I really want to say, I just need to have a big fat boy and a girl, but it hurts. Besides, I just want to run this school well," he lowered his voice again, "You are Teacher Ji Friend, it's been so many years, and you've been the only one who came to him, I think Mr. Ji is the only one who has something on his mind, please untie him, and let him stop wasting here." Sheng Weimin wanted to say more, but the conversation stopped. live.

Ji Jian shouted from the front: "Shao Youguang, I can't leave." He called him by his first name without being polite.

"Come on." As he walked, Shao Youguang felt that Sheng Weimin was such a good person, but also missed the children in Yiliang, and couldn't bear Ji Jian's life, how could there be such a perfect thing in the world.But—he was lost in thought as he stared at Ji Jian's back who was a little ahead of him.There are not many people in Yiliang Yumiao Primary School. The person who texted him is obviously not the silly and happy Sheng Weimin, so who else could it be?

Who can it be?

Shao Youguang stared and thought, this person told him awkwardly that he had a crush on someone for a long time, and then said categorically that it was impossible.He very much hoped that this person was Ji Jian, and he really didn't want it to be him, because he didn't know how a person could live with such an "impossible" mood. Did he come here to find relief?So has he found it? Is the relief he is looking for to discover the insignificance of human beings, or to discover that human beings are all natural things that exist everywhere?

Fortunately, Ji Jian was walking not far in front of him at this time, and there were many things he could say directly.The dirt road is full of potholes, and the light and shadow seem to be overflowing and clear.

"Ji Jian," Shao Youguang shouted, "Is there anyone you have liked for a long time?"

When Ji Jian heard someone calling him, he stood still and looked back, the look that Yuexia saw over him was very frightening.It turns out that loving someone is not a steady state, but a repeated process of falling in love.

"What did you say?" Ji Jian asked him.

Shao Youguang quickened his pace and ran to his side, so that he could approach him.It seems that only when he was young, he ran so freely, three steps in two steps, ran vigorously, he slammed Ji Jian's shoulder hard, pretending that friends are like water, and the two of them have their own ghosts. each other for so many years.He embraced Ji Jian's shoulder affectionately and frivolously, regardless of whether he dodged or not - he forbade him to dodge, and at the same time forgave himself for his frivolity.

He almost spoke in the same tone as when they had the best relationship, gossiping and saying something else: "Hey, today I met the students in your class, two little girls, chatting happily on the ridge of the field... . . . "

Ji Jian was no longer annoyed by being pushed away by him, and laughed and scolded: "I think they are playing crazy, I asked them to go to self-study."

"They told me that Teacher Ji would tell stories in class." Shao Youguang also shook his head and smiled, and said solemnly, "Ji Jian, I also want to hear the stories you tell."
