In the morning, Xu Kongshan took the old master who made the bed to transport a bunch of parts home, and with a bang, clang, bang, a bed frame was built. Dirty paint.It is engraved with simple patterns of flowers blooming and wealth, the more complex the pattern, the more expensive it is, Xu Kongshan chose the most basic one.

The withered and dry straw is sorted out and the messy branches and leaves are spread on the bed board, and a bamboo mat is placed on it, which is the standard configuration in summer.However, the weather in early spring is not warm enough, so a thin layer of wadding must be covered on the mat, otherwise lying down at night on the cool bamboo mat will make people lose sleepiness instantly.

The newly stretched quilt was soft and fluffy, and it was extra festive covered by the bright red quilt.

The things on the bed were arranged by Zhou Mei, mothers always love bright colors.

In addition, Xu Kongshan also asked someone to build a cabinet, an Eight Immortals table and four stools, and after they were all moved into the house and put away, the empty house looked like a home.

There are far more items to be added, but those are not necessary now, and can be slowly filled in the house later.

"Dashan's bed is made firmly." Chen Qianjin pushed hard, but the foot of the bed remained motionless.

The bed and cabinets are made of beech, which is a common wood used for furniture in the village. The material is hard and durable. The beech bed that Chen Wansui used was passed down from his grandparents, and it has been used for decades without any problems.

Compared with the cost of building a house, the money for furniture is nothing.Xu Kongshan wrote down the accounts. He borrowed sixty six from Chen Wan, sixty from Uncle De, and three hundred from Chen Qianjin.The main reason is that Xu Kongshan put a lot of effort into the labor of building the house. In the end, including the cost of furniture, the total cost was 66 points, which was much less than Chen Qianjin's estimate.

After the bedroom and main room were arranged, a group of people flocked to the kitchen.To celebrate Xu Kongshan moving into his new home, Zhou Mei bought a set of bowls and chopsticks as a gift.

The large iron pot with a diameter of [-] centimeters was placed on the stove with a clang. Zhou Mei scooped up a ladle of water and washed it clean. The flame ignited in the stove, and the water vapor in the pot gradually evaporated.

Zhou Mei took a piece of fat pork the size of a palm and wiped it in circles along the inner wall. The melted fat turned black and flowed into the bottom of the pot.Pour off the black lard, wash the pot with clean water, boil it dry, and wipe it. After repeating this several times, the lard becomes transparent, and the inside of the pot shows a luminous effect.

"Okay." Zhou Mei washed her hands. Don't underestimate this step. The pot will be easy to use after it is opened, and the service life will be greatly increased.

The first meal in the new house is naturally cooked in the kitchen of the new house. When the sound of people and fireworks filled every corner of the new house, Xu Kongshan’s heart suddenly became empty—he did not continue to live in the Chen’s house. reason.

His long-awaited home suddenly became an invisible barrier at this moment, separating him from Chen Wan.

There was Zhou Mei and the others in the kitchen, and Chen Wan couldn't help. He walked into the yard and frowned at the walls of the Chen family's courtyard.

"Hey, I'm frying twice-cooked pork." Uncle De came to the door with a jar of wine, and Xu Kongshan invited him over for dinner today.

"Uncle De." Xu Kongshan came out of the kitchen and took the wine jar from his hand.

Chen Wan also greeted Uncle De, and Uncle De observed Chen Wan's complexion: "Chen Wan's complexion has improved a lot recently."

"Thanks to the medicine prescribed by Uncle De." Although the process of drinking the Chinese medicine was painful, Chen Wan had to admit its effect, and he did feel much lighter.

The three chatted for a while, and the fried dishes were brought out one by one. Twice-cooked pork, braised fish, stewed chicken soup with dangshen, lotus root with oil residue, etc. were all over the table, and Chen Qianjin and Uncle De sat down at the top.

Chen Qianjin poured three bowls of wine and held it up to Xu Kongshan: "Come to Dashan, I wish you a prosperous future."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Xu Kongshan touched Chen Qianjin, then turned to Uncle De.

"Isn't there six things soaked in Qianqian's wine?" Uncle De took a sip of the medicinal wine and said six names.

"That's right, it's Hande." Chen Qianjin praised, "Dashan, your Uncle De is very capable, you must learn from him."

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, the wine bowls of the three of them bottomed out. Uncle De stopped Chen Qianjin who was about to pour the wine: "Dashan, go and get the jar of wine I brought."

Xu Kongshan got up when he heard the words, and carried the wine that he had just placed behind the door to the table.As soon as the seal was opened, the aroma of wine that was completely different from Chen Jinjin's altar wafted out.

Chen Wan doesn't know how to taste wine, but in terms of smell alone, he prefers Uncle De's jar, it doesn't smell that strong.

The color of the liquor was light brown, and Uncle De smiled and asked Chen Jinjin to drink it first: "How about a taste?"

Chen Qianjin picked up the wine bowl and sniffed it, took a sip and savored it carefully, and shouted good after swallowing.

"What did you soak in it?" Chen Qianjin couldn't help asking Uncle De, if the stuff for making wine is good, he would also get it for a jar.

"It's just one thing, nothing else." Uncle De stretched out his index finger and made a comparison, "Ganoderma lucidum."

His only Ganoderma lucidum.

Chen Qianjin was speechless, it turned out to be Ganoderma lucidum, he was really willing to part with Xu Kongshan.

"Can Chen Wan drink? If you can, you can drink some." Chen Wan said yes, and Uncle De asked Xu Kongshan to pour some for him.

The taste of Ganoderma lucidum wine was very soft, if it wasn't for the smell of alcohol, Chen Wan might mistakenly think that he was drinking a sugar-free drink.

The two coins of wine were quickly drained, and Chen Wan picked up a chopstick of Lianbai. He is not a drinker, and he will not clamor to drink more.

Uncle De was afraid that someone would seek him out for medical treatment, so he left after lunch.Zhou Mei saw that Xu Kongshan didn't need her help, and went back to the next door.

The lively atmosphere suddenly faded, Xu Kongshan lowered his brows and looked disappointed.He moved to a new house, but he was not as happy as he imagined.In other words, his happiness is far less than his sadness.

This kind of sadness reached its peak when the Chen family members left one after another after dinner, leaving him alone in the house.

The loneliness that he had never felt engulfed him. Xu Kongshan sat on the edge of the bed, and the light and shadow of the dusk printed a blurred outline on his body.

At the same time, Chen Wan looked around the bedroom, there were still traces of Xu Kongshan in the room, the textbooks he used, the chair he sat on, the bed he slept on, and the ravings of those hugs.

But also lost many traces of Xu Kongshan, his clothes were gone in the closet, his shoes were gone by the bed, and his temperature was gone in the quilt.

Xu Kongshan's clothes were packed by Chen Wan, they all add up to only two stacks, they are light and heavy, light in the hands and heavy in the heart.

Chen Wan recalled the reluctance in the man's eyes when he said goodbye to Xu Kongshan, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, don't forget that he still had a surprise that he hadn't fulfilled yet.

The warm water flowed down the skin, and Chen Wan endured the shame to wash every corner of her body carefully.

After taking a shower, Chen Wan dug out the box hidden under the fabric basket next to the sewing machine, put it in the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, and said hello to Zhou Mei: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to sleep at Brother Shan tonight. Help him warm the room."

Chen Wan's tone was natural, and Zhou Mei didn't think about it: "You go, I was just thinking that it's not fun for Dashan to be alone next door."

Xu Kongshan lived in Chen's house for almost two months, and Zhou Mei and the others were used to his presence, so it was hard to avoid feeling awkward that he was suddenly missing someone.

Chen Wan went to the next door with a flashlight. Xu Kongshan had cleaned up the debris from the construction of the house. The compacted ground was very smooth to step on, and the yard was empty, so there was no need to look under your feet without tripping.

The light of the flashlight swayed through the window, and Xu Kongshan stood up from the edge of the bed. He sat melancholy for a long time, and almost fell down because his legs were numb. Fortunately, he grabbed the bed frame in time: "Liuer?"

Xu Kongshan's voice was suspicious, and Chen Wan responded, "Brother Shan is me."

The door creaked open, Xu Kongshan walked up to Chen Wan awkwardly with his still numb legs, he looked at Chen Wan for a moment: "Liu'er, why are you here?"

Seeing Xu Kongshan's excited and unbelievable expression, Chen Wan wanted to rub his ears.

Chen Wan put his idea into reality, he raised his hand and pinched Xu Kongshan's cold earlobe: "I'll accompany you, won't you let me in?"

Xu Kongshan turned sideways immediately, and Chen Wan stepped into the main room and walked to the bedroom, and found that the room was still the same as when he left.

The festive quilt cover on the bed showed no signs of being used, and the pillows were full, indicating that Xu Kongshan hadn't lay down.Chen Wan put the flashlight on the cabinet and sat down, the straw in the interlayer made a rustling sound.

There was no electricity in Xu Kongshan's house. He struck a match and lit a candle. The flickering light cast Chen Wan and his shadow on the wall.

Chen Wan turned off the flashlight, and the weak light in the room was just enough for him to see Xu Kongshan's face clearly.

Half of the frame on the bed is empty, and the weather is not yet infested with mosquitoes, so the mosquito net is not hung for the time being.

Xu Kongshan grabbed his trouser legs nervously. Chen Wan was also nervous at first, but one of them had to take the initiative. Xu Kongshan couldn't be counted on. Chen Wan decided to support himself.

He took off his clothes and lifted the quilt to lie in. Seeing this, Xu Kongshan was about to lower his head and blow out the candle.

"Brother Shan, don't blow out the candles." Chen Wan stopped him, turning her head to avoid Xu Kongshan's eyes, "I want to look at you."

Xu Kongshan didn't know the specific meaning of Chen Wan's words, but the inexplicable excitement in his heart made him look forward to what might happen next.

The wax solidified at the bottom, Xu Kongshan and Chen Wan slept on the same pillow, and the straw made noisier sounds as they moved, but no one paid attention.

Perhaps because of a change of environment, or because Chen Wan had gained experience, Xu Kongshan only persisted for half an hour for the first time.

As usual, Xu Kongshan let go of Chen Wan, ready to get out of bed to fetch water to wipe him.

However, Chen Wan hooked Xu Kongshan's neck, leaned forward and bit Xu Kongshan's ear: "Brother Shan, I have prepared a surprise for you."

Xu Kongshan's memory is not bad, he did not forget the box that Chen Wan hid.

Chen Wan opened the box in front of Xu Kongshan, of course this was not the first time he opened it.No way, he doesn't know the difference between this old-fashioned product and the new one he knows. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of mismatching sizes, he must first confirm.

Inside the box were individual white paper bags, packed in a very simple and rude way, one for two, Xu Kongshan looked at Chen Wan blankly, obviously not understanding the use of these things.

"Brother Shan, I'll teach you." After speaking, Chen Wan didn't rush to use it for Xu Kongshan, because he wasn't ready yet.

Chen Wan was covered in a thin layer of sweat. After what seemed like a century, he finally mustered up the courage to open the paper bag.

Only then did Xu Kongshan realize that everything he had experienced before was just an appetizer.

Then Chen Wan cried unbearably. He opened Pandora's box with his own hands.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: I am gone.
