I provoked you on purpose

He bought this to refresh himself. It smells of mint and lemongrass. It's sour and cool. It tastes pretty good. He brought it here from Jiang City. It's not sold in Jinbei, so it can be regarded as a special product.

Xie Yunsheng touched the few candies in the palm of his hand. The outer shell was a transparent packaging bag with no pattern, and there was a yellow-green hard candy inside, which looked like it was packed in bulk.

He didn't smoke, the cigarette in his mouth was pulled out and pinned to the base of his ear, he tore open the packaging bag with his fingers, picked up the candy and threw it into his mouth.

acid!

Xie Yunsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and frown.

The sour taste, with the taste of cool mint, makes people clear the chaos in their minds and gradually clear up.

This energy is better than cooling oil!

Xie Yunsheng smashed his mouth, a candy was chewed to pieces in his mouth.

"Fuck! My teeth are about to be soured by it. Where did you get this thing? It's so good?"

He took a bite until his heart softened, and the burst of citric acid filled his entire mouth, Xie Yunsheng felt that his brain was about to be given to this sugar and sour wood.

"Ah! It...it...it has sandwich!" Xie Yunsheng was twisted by the soreness.

"Oh." Zhou Chong pursed his lips and bent his lips unconsciously: "I forgot to tell you that the sandwich is concentrated lemon juice."

He smiled shallowly, but Xie Yunsheng's eyes were not blind, and he could tell at a glance that this person was holding back.

"You bastard, just trick me!" Xie Yunsheng squinted his eyes, chewed, chewed, and quickly swallowed the candy into his stomach.

"Smoking less." Zhou Chong held a cigarette in his mouth and exhaled smoke rings, but persuaded Xie Yunsheng to smoke less.

"Caring about me? Are you afraid that my lungs will be black?" Xie Yunsheng moved the cushion to move closer to Zhou Chong, his eyes carefully fixed on Zhou Chong's face, as if to see his emotions.

But this was going to disappoint him.

Zhou Chong has always kept his emotions secret, how could it be so easy for others to see his emotions.

Instead, he raised his eyelids, scanned Xie Yunsheng up and down, and finally his eyes fixed on Xie Yunsheng's snow-white teeth.

"Smoking too much, yellow teeth."

"nausea."

"ugly."

Fuck!

Xie Yunsheng was angry and depressed again.

He even peeled off another candy and threw it into his mouth, crunching it into pieces, making him wince sourly, and goosebumps all over his body.

He's just making trouble for himself!

The pointer on the watch crossed a small dot, Zhou Chong looked at the time, it was already 09:30 in the evening, the old man should have gone to bed by this time, it was freezing cold, and it would be almost ten o’clock when we got back, so he simply The meaning of taking a rest and going back directly is to make do with a night here.

"Don't look at it, it's ten o'clock when you go back. It's too late, half of the bed will be shared with you tonight, isn't it interesting?"

Xie Yunsheng picked up the tin can from the fire rack, and it turned out to be half a can of boiling water.

"Wash your hands and feet with hot water, or you'll get scabies if it's cold." He dragged an enamel basin from the cabinet, with a bright red small fish printed on it, and a lot of lotus patterns, and poured the water into it. , the water waves are swaying, and the small fish seem to be swimming.

Zhou Chong burned his hands, rolled up his trouser legs, took off his socks, and burned his feet. The water was so hot that the soles of his feet sweated a little, but it was very comfortable. When he stretched his feet into the water basin, his whole body felt comfortable.

There are no slippers here, so Zhou Chong stepped on his shoes after ironing his feet, sat by the fire, and let them dry by themselves.

Xie Yunsheng was not in a hurry to soak his feet, but ran back to the cabinet and took out two packs of instant noodles.

"Do you want to eat?" He asked Zhou Chong.

"Eat." Zhou Chong was indeed hungry.

So Xie Yunsheng took out two more packs from the cabinet.

"Have you finished eating?" Zhou Chong didn't know the amount of four packs of instant noodles, but he used to eat just one pack.

"Yes, you can eat as much as you want. If you can't finish it, it's mine." Xie Yunsheng said.

Putting the noodles by the fire, Xie Yunsheng went out with the small iron pot. When he came back, the small iron pot was already filled with a pot of water. It was icy and snowy outside, and the water was condensed into Zhou Chong didn't know where this man got the living water from.

"I'll cook more. In addition to cooking noodles, I can also drink hot water." Xie Yunsheng said, put the iron pot on the shelf again, and hung it on the fire again.

"Do you eat sauerkraut?" Xie Yunsheng stood bent over in front of the big black jar in the corner, and asked Zhou Chong with his eyelids raised.

"My mother pickled it. It tastes really good. I moved it here with the jar. I put some of this when cooking noodles. It's very fragrant."

"Come and have a taste?"

"Okay." Zhou Chong nodded.

He has no taboos, except that he can't eat spicy food, everything else is fine.

As soon as the jar was opened, the sour smell came to the nostrils. Just smelling this smell can make people eat two more bowls of rice, and all the gluttons will come up.

"That's the taste, it's amazing." The raw material of pickled cabbage is Chinese cabbage, which is the only one that can be stored in autumn and winter. Skillful women will always pickle a jar or two for the family's food during the winter.

"Huang San'er really likes this made by my mother. He must eat more than half of my jar."

While laughing, Xie Yunsheng picked up a few pieces of sauerkraut and put them on a wooden board beside him, then took out a small knife from the cabinet, chopped the sauerkraut into fine pieces, and threw it into the large enamel jar.

"There is no bowl here, so let's eat with this." Xie Yunsheng shook the enamel jar in his hand, walked back and sat down again with strides.

Zhou Chong took a look at the enamel jar in his hand. It was the same style as his old man’s, but it was a bit bigger than his old man’s. If it was any bigger, it wouldn’t be called a jar and had to be changed It's called a basin.

"You all seem to like to use this when you eat here." Mr. Zhou used this, Zhou Wenwu also used this, and Xie Yunsheng is also using this now.

It seems that this thing is very popular.

"I'm used to it." Xie Yunsheng stretched his brows, and smiled slightly: "This thing is cheap, and it won't break, how nice it is."

"We used to have a large enamel factory there, where everything was made, enamel jars, enamel basins, and even urinals were made of enamel. There were one, two, five and ten yuan. Buying one can last half a lifetime. Even when a girl gets married, she has to dowry a set of enamel, and the enamel market was booming at that time."

"My dad is an employee of the enamel factory. My mother said that when my dad first entered her house, he brought a set of enamel."

Xie Yunsheng still smiled, his eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, and the tip of his chin was lifted slightly, the small mole on the left side was very obvious, he was very beautiful when he smiled, his facial features softened like an ink painting, the corner of his lips moved, and the spot on the tip of his chin As soon as the little mole moved, the ink painting came alive.

"Later, no one used enamel. Everyone switched to stainless steel, and the enamel factory closed down. My dad was one of those people. He worked in the factory for half his life and had no skills. Once he was unemployed from the enamel factory, he had to go to other places. work to earn a living."

"He drove a truck to people in other places, and delivered bricks, sand and cement to people on the construction site. My mother said that he could earn 2000 yuan a month at that time."

"later."

"There is no later."

At this point, Xie Yunsheng didn't speak anymore, and he didn't laugh any more. He just lowered his head slightly and fiddled with the firewood in front of him from time to time.

Zhou Chong knew that there was no future. Later his father died and his mother remarried, so he followed his mother to Nanli abduction.

"Do you think I'm very pitiful?" Xie Yunsheng raised his eyes, rarely sharp.

"You are poor?" Zhou Chong sneered, pinching the cigarette butt in his hand and pressing it directly on Xie Yunsheng's windbreaker, sparks penetrated the material, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Hey!

This little bastard!

"Fuck! My old alley model! Just bought it! It's more than 90!"

"Burn my clothes, are you crazy?"

Xie Yunsheng pushed the person away and felt his heart ached for the leather jacket with a hole in it. He just bought it!It cost 98 yuan!

"Tell me how pitiful you are again, and I'll throw yours into the fire." Zhou Chong was pinching his cigarette, his brows and eyes were full of ruffian, he was very generous, and he didn't have a half-serious look: "You still have a mother anyway, I'm the one who has nothing."

The two elders of his family left without any nostalgia, leaving him alone in this world.

Zhou Chong sometimes thought about why it was so unfair, why such a big disaster had to happen to him, and why it was him!

But in fact, there are so many whys.

Life and death come back for a while, to put it bluntly, it is fate.

doomed...

When the time comes, everyone has to go, no one is an exception, it's just that this time comes sooner or later.

Zhou Chong even thought about whether the time of death is predetermined once a person is born?

It is to come to this world to have a walk and live a life. As for how to live, whether the life is wonderful or not, it all depends on yourself.

When his father went, Zhou Chong had nightmares day and night, dreaming of everything, and then his father died.

After a while, his father came back to life, and even his mother, who had been gone for several years, dreamed again.

The two held hands and looked at him, smiling happily. His father said that his mother had been waiting for him for so long, and he was going to accompany her, so that Zhou Chong could live a good life by himself.

In fact, if there are too many dreams, people can't tell the reality. It's not that important whether it's true or not, because the person has already gone, and Zhou Chong can't go with him. His father's life is over, and his own life is only just started.

It's not that it's not uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, he can only resist it alone. It's his father who died, and only he knows how uncomfortable it is.

"Come on, I knew I wouldn't provoke you, you little wolf cub is worse than me!"

Xie Yunsheng touched his coat and gasped in distress. For a moment, he really wanted to do something, but Zhou Chong's words made him faint.

Yes, he still has a mother, where is Zhou Chong?It's just that everything is gone. Compared with him, I really have no face to say that I am pitiful.

"It's too late to understand." Zhou Chong pinched his cigarette and smiled badly. "I'm not messing around for a day or two."

He is not a good tempered man.

"Last time it was my pair of shoes that were ruined, this time it was my coat." Xie Yunsheng couldn't laugh or cry, he really shouldn't have provoked him, he didn't get a good one anyway! "It's really a big loss."

"I won't pay if the loss is too big."

"Next time you swear, I'll burn you." Zhou Chong said this with a smile, his eyes were crooked, and there was a little provocation in his brows, very arrogant.

If it had been someone else, Xie Yunsheng would have kicked him, but it was Zhou Chong, who couldn't kick him. In Xie Yunsheng's eyes, arrogance is Zhou Chong's nature. Xie Yunsheng knew it.
