a certain Zheng Kexin

Thanks to the property management of the community that "firecrackers are prohibited to prevent fires", Zheng Kexin fell asleep until noon the next day. Her first reaction when she opened her eyes was that it was a bit strange—why the alarm clock didn't ring and the battery was out? up?Then I saw the mobile phone being charged on the desk.

To be honest, the cause of her dizziness last night was not all due to alcohol, but because she was too tired due to lack of sleep for a long time, so that the legendary "fragmentation" phenomenon that is difficult to distinguish between true and false did not happen to Zheng Kexin. She woke up a little and remembered the absurdities - and then thought she had a good dream.

Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Eve, Xu Niannian was either on the train or already at home, how could she appear on her balcony.

Having a good dream is already a rare thing for Zheng Kexin. She clings to this faint satisfaction and doesn't let go. Knowing that the sun is already high, she can't get out of bed. The trivial chores gave her half an hour to relax and cleanse completely.

The people visiting relatives and friends upstairs and downstairs gradually dispersed, and the sound of closing doors and the sound of New Year greetings gradually faded away, replaced by the lively sound of chopping vegetables, and the clinking of glasses, Zheng Ke thought to himself: Are they drinking Coke or Mirinda?

There are only a few choices of drinks at the Chinese New Year banquet, but she actually prefers oranges.

The self-willed and weak in combat power exhausted all her strength until the last moment, and her rationality urged her to get up by beating gongs and drums. Zheng Kexin didn't change her clothes, but grabbed a coat and put it on her body. While thinking about what to order at the store today, she walked towards the kitchen. Just happened to bump into Xu Niannian who was walking out with a large plate of taro.

The taro has just been steamed, and there are balls of hot steam. Zheng Kexin is half a meter away from a chair, as if frightened by a plate of carbohydrates.

Sensibility told her that she was insane and thought it was a dream, while rationality put her hands in her pockets, rolled her eyes indifferently and said nothing, and pretended to be a uncle.

Until Xu Niannian pushed her away in a panic, and went straight to the dining table with a burst of heat, let go of the plate with a "bang", a piece of very round taro rolled off the plate and fell to the floor along the corner of the table, here comes Zheng Kexin slowly came to his senses from a scene of Zhenlie who would rather commit suicide than be insulted.

At this time, the mouth and the brain were not connected together, and the first sentence that blurted out was: "Why are you steaming so many taro?"

Xu Niannian was a little burned, and was pinching her ears with both hands. When she heard this, she glanced at her, and said naturally, "Didn't you say you want to eat Shanfen dumplings? The ugly thing is first, I have never done it before. Don't rely on me if it doesn't taste good.

By the way, there is no dried cuttlefish sold in the supermarket, so it doesn't matter if it's so bad. "

"Oh... oh... yes, no, it doesn't matter." Zheng Kexin nodded indiscriminately, as if she didn't know what to say, and only after a while did she remember to ask: "Why are you here?"

"My parents called me and said that it was a temporary business trip for an emergency and they would come back after the year. I came to see you for the New Year."

These words sounded like an answer to Zheng Kexin's question, but actually there was no logic at all after thinking about it.

She knew that Xu Niannian's parents were busy and business trips were a common occurrence, but didn't they give advance notice for such a big business trip during the Chinese New Year?Besides, visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, family reunion, parents away and other elder relatives, all of them are not counted.Aside from the two things in front of me, tickets for the Spring Festival travel season are so difficult to buy, and she has to stay half a month in advance to grab tickets. What will happen when her parents come back after the year.

However, Zheng Kexin's mind was in a mess at the moment, and the words he asked were just to hear the sound, and Xu Niannian didn't listen to what Xu Niannian answered. A calm "hmm".

She nodded, feeling that it was inappropriate to stand dry, and subconsciously reached out to touch the water glass on the table.

The water dispenser was closer to Xu Niannian, Xu Niannian picked up the water glass before her, turned around and asked, "Is it cold or hot?"

Zheng Kexin's upper lip touched his lower lip, and he spit out a nonsense: "Guoli Orange."

Xu Niannian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her in surprise: "How do you know I bought it?"

Xu Niannian was thinking about Zheng Kexin's mention of Shanfen Dumplings, and got up early to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables.Traditionally, things with new names are not easy to make. This dumpling has more fillings than other fillings, and the skin is more troublesome than ordinary dumpling skins. Xu Niannian has been busy all morning, and has already forgotten that he bought oranges. Zheng Kexin reminded her Just remembered.

Zheng Kexin was stunned by the question. She was sleep deprived, and drank alcohol last night. When she got up early in the morning, she was stimulated twice by Xu Niannian and the fruit orange that came out of nowhere. She trembled and almost ran to tell her again that she was dreaming.

Then Zheng Kexin took half a glass of fruit juice and took a picture of this tricky thing, sobering up, he dared to ask: "You... When did you come?"

If Xu Niannian dared to say that she would wipe her neck with a knife last night!

Xu Niannian watched her take a sip of a glass, thinking that she was thirsty, so she pulled the glass and poured her another glass, saying calmly, "Last night."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to dislike Zheng Kexin's lack of determination to hold a knife and added another sentence: "Did you sleep well?"

Zheng Kexin didn't dare to be bad.

Then I heard Xu Niannian say softly: "In the future, don't keep your phone on vibrate, turn up the volume, and you will be anxious if we can't get in touch with you."

Zheng Kexin listened with lowered eyebrows and nodded obediently.

Xu Niannian: "Auntie called this morning, I answered it, and I told her about my living here to reassure her."

Zheng Kexin paused, then nodded again.

Xu Niannian: "By the way, grandma had some porridge and two pieces of mung bean cake this morning, and then went back to sleep."

Now, apart from nodding, Zheng Kexin added: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xu Niannian explained everything that should be explained, pondered for a while to check whether there were any mistakes, then pointed to the vegetables on the ground that had been packed in several plastic bags for Zheng Kexin to deal with, and went back to the kitchen to chop the radishes.

Zheng Kexin's heart was in her throat and her ears were pricked up to listen for a long time, but in the end she didn't hear what Xu Niannian mentioned about her outrageous behavior last night. .

What happened last night was definitely not a dream, it was just a few glasses of white wine, and she didn't take drugs, and she wasn't confused about that yet.

But she also couldn't figure out Xu Niannian's attitude, she didn't mention it because she was afraid of embarrassment for the two of them?Or do you feel like you've been drinking too much to be crazy and don't take it to heart?

No matter which one, Zheng Kexin didn't dare to think about it, but there was no third possibility for this matter.

Zheng Ke absent-mindedly took all the dishes to the bathroom to wash, and washed each dish four times, without noticing that the water temperature was too high.

She tortured several dishes for more than half an hour before being released after serving his sentence. Zheng Kexin calmed down a little, and sat quietly on a chair in the dining room to watch Xu Niannian cook.

When she was at home, she would also open a fire to cook some porridge and noodle soup. The kitchen window was a bit leaky, and she always felt cold standing inside, but seeing Xu Niannian busy, she felt that the kitchen was the warmest place in the house. Even the window facing the building that looks like a peanut shell is much more pleasing to the eye, it really looks like a church.

Xu Niannian was frying the stuffing. Xu Niannian had never eaten or cooked shanfen dumplings. Zheng Kexin mentioned it that day and didn't make it clear.Xu Niannian checked Baidu in the supermarket and improved as he wished. He bought some of Zheng Kexin's favorite dishes, and the taste of the dumplings was definitely not the same as that of Shanfen dumplings, but there would be no major mistakes.

Zheng Kexin had nothing to do. Seeing that the taro was cold, she went into the kitchen and took a fork to start pounding the taro. Xu Niannian handed her the sweet potato flour and asked, "Will you knead the noodles?"

Zheng Kexin shook her head and nodded again: "I haven't had a reconciliation...but I should."

Xu Niannian immediately remembered her grievous pot, and when she was speechless, she heard Zheng Kexin whisper: "If there is too much water, add noodles, if there is too much noodles, add water."

"..."

He was about to be laughed out of anger, just as Xu Niannian was about to reprimand, when he raised his head, he suddenly met Zheng Kexin's flustered eyes, just for a second, and then Zheng Kexin quickly lowered his head.

Su Yingyu has a demure demeanor, gentle appearance, quiet eyes, thin lips and thin eyebrows, making people feel close at first sight.Zheng Kexin's facial features are very similar to Su Yingyu's, but her natural advantages were covered by exhaustion all over her body. She is not as lively and lively as girls of the same age. It is a bit good-looking and not easy to get close to.

A girl of this age has a very different eyebrow and eyes, but it gives people a misunderstanding that she is mature, calm, and has an idea.

It's a pity that Xu Niannian is not an outsider, so she was not fooled by her face.

Xu Niannian has been with her for more than half a year, has seen her liveliness and knows her difficulties, and gradually understands the source of Zheng Kexin's personality - she can't make decisions or control these days, and every time there is a little expectation that she might get better I will be slapped twice by the reality, and after a long time, I will be taught to "don't say anything to the left and not to the right", holding everything in my heart.

It's not that I don't want anything, and I don't care about anything, but I dare not ask for anything.

Xu Niannian suddenly realized that Zheng Kexin wouldn't be able to ask her what she originally imagined. Even if she put the question directly on the surface, Zheng Kexin would probably shake her head—she dared not admit it.

Xu Niannian's opened mouth paused for a moment, her heart softened, she guessed Zheng Kexin's thoughts from Zheng Kexin's expression, and thought: Have I also become what she wants in her heart?

Then she sighed silently, turned down the heat of frying stuffing on the stove, took the basin in Zheng Kexin's hand, weighed it, added two small bowls of sweet potato flour and a small bowl of water and handed it back.

"The water may be a bit lacking. Knead it like this first, and show me when it's evenly mixed. If there is not enough taro, you can add more. There is still more in the pot."

Zheng Kexin glanced at her, Xu Niannian's normal expression and the gentleness exclusive to the Chinese New Year gradually eased her worries, she stood for a while at the bifurcation intersection where there were only two choices, and slowly understood what Xu Niannian meant.

——You were drunk, I didn't take it to heart.

My heart, which had just done a half set of uphill and downhill, finally made it to the last stretch of the way, making up a full M.My heart is at ease, but then I feel a little lonely again.

It's a sin to like anyone at this time, and it's because I didn't focus on my studies.

Other people's likes are connected with the countdown of the college entrance examination on the side of the blackboard, changing from three digits to one digits, tearing off the last page, and handing in a few answer sheets will be fair and square.

Although I have to worry about teachers and parents, it is only temporary.

But what she likes is the perpetual calendar of the new year and even the old year.

To worry about the whole world, to worry about a lifetime.

She likes Xu Niannian, and she didn't intend to let her know, nor did she think about being together.

But when the confession call was made, it was obviously uncomfortable to be asked by the other party if it was the taste of truth or dare.

Zheng Kexin suddenly discovered that after only half a year of his indifferent temper, he had become busy and troublesome.Not only his temperament, but his poor stomach also became squeamish after eating a few good meals. A few days ago, Xu Niannian gurgled as soon as he came back after eating a vegetarian meal with little soup and little water, and wanted to rebel!

Zheng Kexin kneaded the dough into a mess, thinking with a wry smile, the two went their separate ways after graduation, and sooner or later they would have to go to the hospital because of gastroenteritis.

Shanfen dumpling skins are carefully filled, and the wrapping method is also unique. No rolling pin is needed. After the dough is rounded, pinch the dough with the thumb and index finger of the right hand, and push it in with the left hand. The finished product is an equilateral triangle.This fresh food was proposed by Zheng Kexin, but Xu Niannian still thought it was nicely packaged.

Every finished product made by Zheng Kexin has to undergo secondary processing in the hands of Xu Niannian. Xu Niannian asked her while shaping: "It is said on the Internet that this kind of dumpling is made in the south. Do you have any southerners in your family?"

Zheng Kexin shook her head slightly: "It's Grandma Song."

Xu Niannian heard Zheng Kexin talk about Xiao Xu's family, but she only said a few words in detail, and only knew that Xiao Xu was an older sister who grew up with her, and that Grandma Song passed away some time ago.

She didn't speak for a while, and heard Zheng Kexin continue to say: "Before we moved when we were young, our family and Xiao Xu's family celebrated the New Year together. At that time, Sheng Yunming was not crazy, and he had a good relationship with Grandma Song, and the older generation was very good at cooking. During the Chinese New Year, the dishes served at the banquet are not the same.”

Zheng Kexin didn't know what came to her mind, she smiled lightly: "This dumpling is Grandma Song's tradition—maybe she is from the south, she said it has a good meaning, good luck, prosperity and longevity."

It's a pity that after begging for a lifetime, in the end he was neither happy nor long-lived.

Zheng Kexin paused when she was making dumplings. Thinking about it this way, isn't it a bit unlucky to eat this dumpling?She abruptly changed the topic: "What are you going to do? It seems that this kind of dumplings can't be boiled, but can only be steamed, but I remember eating fried ones..."

Xu Niannian made a decision: "Then steam it more, have it stir-fried for lunch, and add soup at night."

The remaining taro was divided into two halves, one half was coated with sugar and the other half was made into taro balls.Xu Niannian took the time to go back to the rental house to pack some laundry and homework. By the way, she brought over a large box of black tea that she hadn't drunk at home, and replaced the oranges she drank in summer with milk tea.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Niannian had seen Zheng Kexin's distress, and he didn't have the slightest intention to let her be alone at the moment-if they lose contact again, one of the four of them will count as one, and they will suffer from a collective heart attack, which will greatly shorten their lives.

As for the New Year's Eve, Zheng Kexin had no reason to drive people out, so Xu Niannian just stayed there in a daze.

At the beginning, Zheng Kexin was thinking about the stupid things she did, and she was always a little awkward, but after a few days of getting along, no one mentioned that night. The two of them had dinner, homework and watching TV. It seemed that they had returned to their small rental house. Zheng Kexin was worried After a while, I drank a few cups of milk tea and then slowly put it down.

Her heart was pressed by a heavy stone, and she was afraid that intimate contact would reveal her thoughts. She only cared about this, and she didn't remember saying that she missed you very much, her pitiful face full of tears, and Xu Niannian's stumbling to help her back. Room, help her undress and cover the quilt.

Not to mention that it was the first kiss, Xu Niannian didn't hide it.

These were all forgotten by Zheng Kexin in front of the minutiae, but the key points that Xu Niannian grasped were in these minutiae.

Missing you may be just missing, kissing can also be understood as venting, as long as people want to deceive themselves and others, they can push the lid of the coffin.But that day, she managed to settle Zheng Kexin, and when she stretched out her hand to pull the quilt, a heavy paper box rolled out.

All of Zheng Kexin's stationery decorations are pure colors, and she has never used such "fancy" girlish things. The green background and white flowers, at first glance, are Xu Niannian's style.

All kinds of bits and pieces were scattered all over the bed, each of which Xu Niannian recognized, and each of them was ironclad evidence.Zheng Kexin, who was already asleep, didn't know it. After Xu Niannian "officially" moved over, Zheng Kexin put the box in the bedside table.

When she wanted to ask a question at the beginning, something happened to stop Xu Niannian's mouth, but now she knew the answer and just wanted to chat, another accident happened.

Not long after the taste of the new year had passed, a message came from the "Five Good Students Group" who usually used to "check" Zheng Kexin's homework. Zheng Kexin took a look and was immediately stunned.

After a while, she raised her head under Xu Niannian's questioning gaze: "Qi Yao's mother passed away."

The author has something to say: How can there be no fruit oranges for Chinese New Year.

Five good students: Ke Xin, Nian Nian, Ning Zhi, An Ji, Qiao Yuan I took the time to sort out Weibo, I wrote a short story by Zheng Kexin before, and I will post it. (A dove says happily)
