After an ex became a landlord

17

The snail girl has a fever, and today it has become braised snails.

The braised snail girl refused to go to the hospital because she was persuaded to take the medicine and yelled that her mouth was bitter. Zhu Xu had no choice but to run into the kitchen and cook her Coke and boiled ginger, which sounded useful but could only be used to coax children. The braised snail in braised rice was a lesson, Zhu Xu mercilessly put in a lethal dose of ginger, the kind that can send people away in one bite.

When Ms. Su Li's video came, Zhu Xu was turning down the gas stove.In the ginger-scented mist, Zhu Xu wiped the mist off his lenses, then raised his phone and clicked to answer.

"Mom," Zhu Xu clicked, and saw Ms. Su Li wearing a pair of flaming red lips and wearing a fancy dress enthusiastically appeared in the picture. She looked very good, and her heart was at ease. She laughed and joked with her , "Why are you dressed so beautifully, Ms. Su, are you going to dance?"

"Xiao Bao's mouth is so sweet," said Ms. Su Li, who was nearly sixty years old and rejuvenated by the nourishment of love, smiling a little shyly, "There is a middle-aged and elderly waltz competition in the community at night. Your Uncle Liu is changing clothes. I will wait for him to go out together. .”

"It's good," it was really good, so good that Zhu Xu didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Did you take your medicine on time recently?"

"I went to the doctor last month and said that the drug can be stopped. Now I have stopped it for half a month, and I feel very good," my mother said, and began to regret, "At the end of last year, I changed to paroxetine and lithium carbonate (Note 1). I ate more than half of it, I knew I wouldn't buy that much."

As Ms. Su Li was talking, she began to think about it, complaining about the price increase everywhere now, forget about pork and cabbage, and even the cemetery management fee has increased by 10%, why not grab money; said that a few days ago, the neighbor My youngest son jumped off the building because of campus bullying. He was not yet 17 years old. She was too heartbroken to recover now. However, this matter is not over yet. After asking, I found out that buying graves is like buying movie tickets. I bought it, and the neighbor next door bargained for a long time, and in the end I only bought a scattered position that was a bit off...

Finally, I said that the orange cat named Xiaoju that Zhu Xu picked up and gave to my aunt the year before last was born yesterday, and I brought back a little milk cat. When are you going back home to have a look?

"I bought a ticket for the morning of the 4th," Zhu Xu understood his mother's implication, and said, "Go back and see Dad, I remember Mom."

This year's Ching Ming Festival is actually on Wednesday, and there are no shops in front of the village or in the back. However, the country has abruptly adjusted the rest from Monday to Wednesday, and then there are 9 consecutive working days (Note 2).There were a lot of complaints on the Internet. As the kind of person who had to go back to his hometown during the Ching Ming Festival, Zhu Xu had no objection to the protests of these young people.

On the contrary, I am a little envious, envious of their carefree and happy family.

Mom happily said hello, Mom will prepare delicious food for you, and then continued to nag:

"Baby, the owner of the Jinyu factory who had a lawsuit with us before was arrested last month and sentenced to ten years for bribery. Hey, although it is not a good thing, but my mother can't feel sympathy, and I am a little happy. You said that my mother Is it a little dark inside..."

Zhu Xu maintained an unconscious smile, her eyes fell on the crimson liquid that was boiling in the small pot, she turned off the fire, the fog on the lens dissipated and rose again, but her thoughts gradually drifted away.

Ms. Su retired early from her primary school teacher position at the age of 52. Like most middle-aged and elderly women, the gentle and restrained flower of the town also possessed the characteristics of nagging when she was young.

In fact, Su Li didn't talk much before. She was born in a traditional family in a small town with a little money. She was also a well-known lady in the town when she was a girl. Do not quarrel with people.After getting married, she was taken care of by her husband. Her work and life circles are very simple. She loves life and children. At most, she planted more than a dozen pots of plants at home, and each pot grew very lush.

Unfortunately, like Hazel in Zhu Xuman's closet, these plants also disappeared in the end.

But Zhu Xu felt that her mother might have been protected too well, so after the big trees that gave her protection collapsed one after another, she was shocked to the point where she almost collapsed physically and mentally.

Since last year, Su Li has gradually regained her love for plants, but she still dare not keep animals.

Congratulations, now Ms. Su Li finally has the courage to start raising cats.

The nagging all over the sky eventually leads to a motif that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Baby, Xiaoju has given birth, when will you..."

Zhu Xu hastily said, "Ah, mom, the wifi signal is suddenly not very good. The things in the pot are about to burn, mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first?"

Su Li's nagging stopped suddenly, and Zhu Xu saw the crooked smiling eyes that he had perfectly inherited, and looked at her quietly for a while.

"Bao, before the youngest son of the next door left, he left a suicide note." Su Li's speech slowed down, "...that he likes boys."

Zhu Xu was about to press his index finger to stop.

The heart hangs in mid-air.

She said "Oh", "It's a pity...it's a pity."

Apart from expressing regret and sadness, Zhu Xu dared not and should not reveal more temptations and positions.

But she heard herself asking, "Mom, what do you think?"

Su Li shook her head, showing regret: "Mom can't accept..."

The heart fell to the bottom again.

"But mothers can't accept the pain of losing a child."

Ms. Su Li's crow's feet became moist, and she raised her hand to gently wipe them off.

Her voice was a little choked.

"There are many new things that my mother has never seen, does not understand, and does not understand, but my mother is willing to learn. Maybe I will learn slowly, or I may have difficulties in learning. You wait for mom and give mom some time."

"... Bao, what's the matter, let's discuss it?"

……

Zhu Xu had no way of knowing how her mother noticed that her daughter was different from other girls in the town, but it should have been earlier than she guessed.

Three years ago, the annoying lawsuits came to an end, there were fewer debt collectors, and the family situation gradually improved. Su Li began to arrange intensive blind dates for her. Of course Zhu Xu understood her intentions—the daughter was over 25 years old. , has never had a boyfriend, and is still not interested in men on weekdays. During the occasional disputes, Zhu Xu heard that Su Li used "abnormal" to describe herself. Since then, she has stopped speaking and behaved obediently. An emotionless blind date machine, showing a false and copious smile to a group of men with no discernible facial features.

At that time, the mother should have noticed something, but she still stubbornly wanted to pull her back on the "right path".

Zhu Xu remembered that during the winter vacation when he was 21 years old, with a little nervousness, he closed the door and told her father, who was always gentle and generous, that she now had someone she liked, who was a girl just like herself.

Her father seemed to be distressed for a while, then he held her in his arms and said to her:

"Bao, Dad supports you, but let's not tell Mom yet. When the time is right, Dad will help you talk."

……

It seemed that the time for maturity would never come, and Zhu Xu locked himself back in the closet again.

Because Dad never had a chance to speak for her again.

And the boy who jumped down from the teaching building in the relay.He also never had a chance to speak to the boy he liked again.

Zhu Xu hung up the video, hugged the thermos cup full of ginger-flavored cola, and pulled on the slippers. When he walked out of the kitchen, the white mist on the lens finally dissipated, and the world became clear again, just like tomorrow in this world, Maybe it will really get better.

It is a pity that many people's lives remain in yesterday forever.

She walked slowly to the door of Feng Siyao's room and raised her hand to knock on the door.Ever since Feng Siyao moved in, Zhu Xu hadn't entered this room again, as if a certain balance had been broken, she felt a little nervous.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

A slightly hoarse female voice, as if suppressing a cough.The other party caught her deliberately light footsteps, and sent her an invitation in advance before knocking on the door.

Zhu Xu saw the white angel piglet sitting on the bed at a glance.

Soon she looked away.

"Here, the Coke you want."

She handed over the thermos, and Feng Siyuan took it in a low voice and said thank you.She was sitting on the bed, using a notebook to do some work, with a cooling patch on her forehead, and kept grabbing the runny nose, which was clear snot from freezing.

"Infecting the wind and cold in the warm spring season, Feng Siyao, you are really good at it," Zhu Xu stretched out his hand to her with a cold face, and the latter obediently handed over the thermometer under his arm, Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the light, With a slightly relieved expression, "38.5 degrees, step back a bit. Observe again, if it exceeds 39 degrees, you must go to the hospital with me for emergency."

Feng Siyao was drinking ginger juice with her cup in her arms, and hummed twice from her nasal cavity, which was regarded as a response. After taking a big gulp, her tongue was so hot that her tongue was numb, and her beautiful facial features were distorted in pain:

"Hiss, it's so spicy!"

Zhu Xu showed a scheming smile: "You deserve it, you don't want to dress well. I put three whole ginger slices in it to cook, three times the love, you just take it well."

"Okay," Feng Siyao said aggrievedly, "Then I'll take it." The penultimate word was accentuated.

Zhu Xu: "..."

Is this sentence weird?

Just pretend she didn't understand.

Under her order, Feng Siyao changed into long-sleeved pajamas. The first three buttons were undone. Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and buttoned the collar from bottom to top one by one without her realizing it. , she uttered the same gentle thoughts as Ms. Su Li:

"I warned you a long time ago, but I didn't listen."

"Do you still dare to wear suspenders for the cold?"

"It's not allowed to be worn again before summer, you know, I'll beat you once I see you."

Feng Siyao laughed and said that you are so fierce, swallowed a whole 400ml of ginger juice in one gulp, hiccupped twice, like a cat, lowered his head slightly, and rubbed his chin affectionately against Zhu Xu, stopping at her neckline The finger in front of her rubbed against Zhu Xu's hand.

My heart is also a little itchy.

Feng Siyao was also a little itchy, Zhu Xu was so close to her, the smell of the citrus-flavored shower gel made her dizzy, and the high fever made her head a little confused. In a daze, she heard herself sticky saying:

"But what to do, if you say that, I want to wear it even more."

Zhu Xu gave a puzzled "hmm", puzzled: "Why?"

Feng Siyao continued to rub and rub: "I want to be hit by you..."

"..."

Zhu Xu's face turned green in an instant, and he pushed away Feng Siyao's beautiful face that was rubbed over like brown candy with his palm.

"Feng Si Yao!"

She growled.

Then she finally said what she wanted to say every night this week.

"Can you stop flirting!"
