salt by salt

Without the usual laziness, most of the work at the current stage of the project was done at random before the year-end vacation.Sun Ning is the team leader, and we need to check in with her on weekdays. Perhaps we were infected by the holiday atmosphere, so Sun Ning allowed us to go home for the New Year before the official start of the year-end holiday.According to the usual practice, I go to the main residence of the Xu family as soon as the holiday is over, but in order to avoid unpleasantness, I always reduce my sense of existence and avoid it if I can. In the past few years, I even just eat a New Year’s Eve dinner and watch the night, and return on the first day of the new year. own house.

This year I finally have somewhere to go.

I followed Song Cheng's instructions and found a supermarket near his home, with the shopping list he wrote me in my hand.I was quite surprised when I got this list. Song Cheng still writes with a pen that is quite old.I have practiced hard-tipped pen calligraphy for a long time, and I can see that his pen is strong and vigorous, and the pen calligraphy is surprisingly beautiful.

He just smiled shyly at this: "I was fine when I was in school, I always wrote to the copybook."

I have found a treasure. This man is simply a treasure. How many charms are waiting to be discovered?I was thinking about it while pushing the shopping cart to find things on his list. He is very good at living, and even the brands are clearly listed.This supermarket is a bit old, but it has a rich variety of non-staple food. I went around a few times to find everything according to the list to check out, and walked back slowly with two big plastic bags.

The phone rang suddenly, and I was still carrying the seasonings, vegetables and fruits I bought. It had not been long since it rained, and the road conditions around here were not very good. He connected the phone with one hand, and glanced at an unfamiliar number: "Hello?"

"It's me." Lin Ya's voice was clear and distorted through the phone, "I changed my phone number."

"I haven't contacted me for a long time, Miss Lin." I stood next to a telephone pole, crossing the road and walking forward to the Tongzilou where Song Cheng lived, "What have you been up to lately?"

"Let's go to class, I've been criticized for skipping too many classes." She complained, then changed her tone, and asked with interest, "How is your relationship with your little model? Do you need me, the patron, to come forward and play the role of a mandarin duck?" villain role?"

"There are quite a lot of scenes, you." I was a little bit strangled with two bags in one hand, and I switched hands to answer the phone, "Well... I'm almost done."

"The action is pretty fast, come out to play tonight?" She said happily, "And when are you on vacation? Let's go to Turkey to play together. The ice and snow there are very beautiful. One of my little sisters sent me a photo of her going to school there. ,I feel it's ok."

"You forgot that I'm already at work. The vacation time is not as long as yours. I may have a job at any time. I can't see it." I often traveled with Lin Ya during college. Although I was a little moved by her proposal, I wanted to go with her Song Cheng wanted to celebrate the New Year together, so he had to politely refuse.

"Okay then..." she said disappointedly, "Aren't you coming out tonight to accompany your benefactor?"

"I'm going to accompany the little model tonight."

"Well, you heartless thing, I'm going to take care of someone else!" She pretended to yell, and then I heard a man's lazy voice from her side: "Lin Ya, who are you going to take care of?"

"No one, bro, I'm joking with my friends!" Lin Ya said with a smile, "Then I won't disturb the two-person world between you and the little model. Call me when you have time, and I'll hang up."

"I know." I looked at the cloudy sky, it might be raining again, "Bye."

"Bye~"

I quickened my pace to go back, and sure enough, it started to rain when I stepped into the corridor with my front foot.I climbed upstairs with difficulty and knocked on the door of Song Cheng's house. He opened the door almost immediately, wearing only a black sweater and holding an umbrella in his hand: "It's raining outside, I'm going to pick you up."

"I knew it was going to rain so I came back soon."

Song Cheng took the things, lowered his head and kissed my cheek: "Thank you."

Shocked, I touched the place where he kissed me, and for some reason I felt a little embarrassed: "Don't care about your loved ones."

"Because Jun Yan is very cute." He put the things on the dining table and said calmly, "By the way, Jun Yan, your brother..."

"He was picked up by my aunt to celebrate the New Year in his hometown." I immediately answered, "Don't worry about him."

Song Cheng's movements paused, and he said a little disappointed: "I still want to show off my cooking skills in front of him, so as to make a good impression on him."

"Isn't it the same to show your hands in front of me?" I said deliberately, "Don't you usually show your extraordinary skills when cooking for me?"

Song Cheng immediately retorted aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't have one."

"Just kidding." I took out a bag of snacks and opened it to eat, "By the way, Song Cheng, aren't you going home for the New Year?"

"I've been here all the time." He looked natural, "I had a conflict with my family when I was coming to City B, and I never went back."

"They don't want you to be a model? But I think you are very suitable. You are tall, good-looking, and so good-looking." I couldn't help but say.I have read Song Cheng's information, he is from Jincheng, his parents' information is only filled in a self-employed and then scribbled, probably do not want to mention more.

"There are many reasons. I don't have any brothers or sisters, so my parents have high expectations of me." He took the vegetables to the kitchen to wash, and I followed him like a little tail to listen to him, "But I have always liked acting. into the entertainment industry."

"Actually, you can take the Nortel test in high school." I said, "The Nortel score is not high..."

"Speaking lightly, how can the exam be so easy?" He smiled helplessly, and stuffed a washed tomato into my hand, "Okay, you won't go back and I won't go back either, just to celebrate the New Year together. Let's eat Tomato, huh? Sugar dipping itself at the table."

"Is it ready to eat if you don't cut it?" I froze for a while.

"Same." Song Cheng said.

Depressed, I sat back on the sofa in the living room with a tomato in one hand and a sugar dish in the other. I tossed the tomato in my hand as a ball and played for a while, and finally took a bite with a complex complexion dipped in sugar.Another bite.

...It's really the same.

After eating, the rain still showed no signs of stopping. I lay on my stomach on the narrow balcony and looked at the opposite building for a while. After washing the dishes, Song Cheng came to me: "What are you looking at?"

"Someone confiscated clothes on the opposite side." I pointed to him, "The one on the fourth floor."

"It's too late to remind now." He looked at it with his head and sighed, "It should be on the night shift, so I didn't have time to accept it."

I said to myself: "It looks so hard."

"Didn't you work the night shift before?" Song Cheng took off the clothes hanging from the balcony, sat on the sofa and folded them, and said, "It's all the same hard work."

I closed my mouth resentfully, went to sit beside him, and silently listened to the patter of rain outside.From here, you can vaguely see the lights of the building opposite. Occasionally, someone walks into the corridor opposite. The lights between the floors are warm yellow, and the lights in our room are dimly on.Leaning on Song Cheng's shoulder, I watched him patiently fold up his clothes one by one. The faint scent of soap exuded from his body made me feel reassuringly sleepy.

It's going to rain for a long time, I think.
