Dinner was at the Su family's old house. We still ordered a banquet from a restaurant on the street and entertained the "elders" of the two families as a way of saying thank you.
Two hundred thousand yuan can't even buy a bathroom in Shanghai, but it's a lot of money here. The Su family's old house is worth this price. Even in remote towns, there aren't many such exquisite houses. No wonder Ye'er heard that
My sister was very sad when she sold it.
Three corner houses with brick and wood structures were built facing the river. The brick-carved gatehouse separated a private and quiet place; the patio in the front yard was carefully arranged into a small garden by the original owner, separated by a short cobblestone path.
There is a pomegranate tree on the left and right of the patio, and a circle is surrounded by bluestones in the middle of the cobblestone path. There must have been some kind of tree there in the past. Zhu Tong asked Ye'er about the trees that had been planted there, but he didn't get the answer. He looked very lonely.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a bright moon hangs on the pomegranate tree early. After dinner, we open a small table in the yard, put fruits and dried fruits on it, take out the purple sand tea set, and drink tea while watching the moon.
If you are just taking a quick tour, the small towns in Jiangnan are just small bridges, flowing water, and people. The food, drinks, and things to do are all the same, and it won’t be interesting to see too much.
But if you can blend into it, you will be able to taste the strong water town style and feel the distant cultural atmosphere; the small bridges will become the best places to admire the moon, and the sky and the earth will complement each other.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in a small town, you must drink osmanthus wine, eat moon cakes, and burn incense to worship the moon god. There is no osmanthus tree in the courtyard of the Su family's old house, but there is a small bridge not far away, and the door is left open when eating wine and admiring the moon. There are always
When people in the town pass by, the children will receive a moon cake or candy. The woman will come in and say a few words to the Su sisters that Zhu Tong cannot understand. Finally, after accepting a small gift, she will smile and say thank you. The man will accept a moon cake or candy.
The smokers squatted beside the gatehouse, and some even asked for a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine. At least on this night, people did not have the precautions and calculations against each other in the city at all, and the only ones who could return to their hometowns for reunion were their relatives.
The elders have been praising Li Xiang for being a rare talent with a bright future. Similar compliments can be heard every day, but after listening to these simple old people saying them over and over again, the little liar felt a sense of humiliation on his face.
Fever, under the cover of night, it is not clear whether the face is red or not.
Ye'er spent most of her time playing with the incense bucket. It looked like an old object. The sand silk covering the face of the bowl was stained yellow but not torn. There was a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon embroidered on the silk silk, and two lines of poems were written in calligraphy.
"The full moon burns incense and holds hands in a lingering mood."
Ye'er used a silver shovel to carefully serve the incense burning in the incense bucket. When the smoke was thick, it drove away the mosquitoes by the river.
Zhu Tong enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Festival very much, sitting under the pomegranate tree, listening to the old man telling the past of the town, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, holding Ye'er's soft little hand under the table, the puppy Yin Yang crawling around under the table, he
I thought, this is life.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a time for gatherings of people in the world. The so-called cocktail receptions are always held during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, many people from the world will gather at the Shanshui Taoist Temple to participate in the grand celebration held by the Taoist sect. Although Zhu Tong declined the invitation of Master Yu Xuan.
I actually feel a little guilty about the invitation. In a sense, Shanshui Taoist Temple is the Taoist temple of Bamboo Taoist priests. It is said that Fanxing will also participate in the opening ceremony.
The moon passed overhead, and before he knew it, Xiaobao was sleeping in Su Juan's arms. The elders said goodbye and left; Ye Er led Zhu Tongcai into Linhe's room. This is
She lived there when she was a child. The furniture in the room is still the same as before, with only two narrow single beds.
The conditions of the old house are poor and there is no water heater. The five people can only take turns to wash themselves. The well water for showering has to be boiled with gas in pots.
Zhu Tong admired the gurgling water outside the wooden window for a while. When he looked back, Ye'er was setting up two mosquito nets. The town is close to the river, and there are many mosquitoes.
"Is it enough to hang just one?" Zhu Tong approached with a wicked smile. Ye'er blushed and whispered: "I just need to hang two, don't try to do anything bad."
"Am I bad?" Zhu Tong put his arms around Ye'er's slim body, raised her chin with his left hand, and looked at her carefully.
Ye'er shook her head and didn't look at him. If it were before, her long hair would have spread out to cover her master's shame; but now she has short hair. Zhu Tong is used to it, but the master is not used to it yet.
"Li Xiang, I don't want you to do too much for money. Many people can get married without a house."
Zhu Tong didn't expect that Ye'er was still thinking about what happened last night, and said lovingly: "Don't worry, this is my first time trading in stocks, and it will also be my last time. I will cancel my account when I get back."
Ye'er finally raised her head and smiled happily; Zhu Tong's heart became colder and colder, and he hugged the nephrite's warm and fragrant body tightly, seeking the intoxicating warmth.
In the recent period, Zhu Tong has often felt dangerous. It was the instinct he had honed since childhood that reminded him: leave Shanghai, leave Ye'er, leave everything now; sooner or later, the scam will go bankrupt, and it is better to make a decisive decision now than to regret it in the future.
However, Zhu Tong knew that it was easy to leave but hard to give up. He couldn't imagine the meaning of living like that, so he could only try his best to maintain this scam.
Every minute and second spent with Ye'er was filled with unspeakable warmth for him. He enjoyed and felt it, burying it in his heart and melting it into his blood. He thought: If there is really no forever, at least he can
A little more memory.
Thinking of these, Zhu Tong began to tremble, his chest felt tight, and sweat oozed from his cheeks and forehead.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, secretly swallowing two cough medicines, barely controlling his breathing, and waiting for the attack to pass as soon as possible.
The moon shines into the river and shines a light into the room through the screen window.
Ye'er noticed that her lover was sweating, so she moved away and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"It's nothing, it's hot."
The Mid-Autumn Festival night in the small town was sultry, and the old house had no air conditioning; Ye'er pushed him onto the bed, found a cattail leaf fan and sat in the mosquito net, fanning it for him gently.
"You're not feeling well yet, so go to sleep first."
How can anyone sleep in such a situation?
But Zhu Tong still closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
On the 15th day of the 15th day of the year, Zhu Tong went to worship at his parents' graves with his sisters from the Su family.
The baby was ignorant and was frightened when he saw the tombstone, so he was taken aside by a Shanghai man and set off a firecracker.
Ye'er was pulled by Su Juan to kneel in front of the monument, burning paper and crying.
When she cried, Ye'er also cried. The two sisters had been dependent on each other since childhood, and all the tears they cried turned into tears and were sprinkled in front of their parents.
Zhu Tong didn't try to persuade him, he also wanted to cry, and even envied the Su sisters.
Since he was a child, he has no concept of parents, does not know their life and death, and has no brothers and sisters. Even if he wants to cry, he does not know where to cry.
After paying tribute to their parents, the trip to the countryside came to an end. Several people returned to the old house to pack their things, and the new owner was also there. He came to see them off.
Ye'er was caressing every piece of furniture in the former boudoir. The new owner was discussing with Su Juan outside on how to repair the old house. Zhu Tong saw Ye'er's eyes were slightly red. After all, she had been here longer than her sister.
The house represents the innocent time in her life, and every tile and brick is full of memories.
"We have enough money now, so why don't I discuss it with him and repurchase the old house. It's not far from Shanghai, and the scenery is nice and the people are nice. It's more comfortable to stay here during your free time than in Shanghai."
"No need." Ye'er wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes and looked at her lover gratefully; "You can think so...I'm very grateful; it's just that we don't have so much time. The old house has been there for many years, just like people
Likewise, no one cares that it will grow old quickly. Instead of watching it go into disrepair, it is better to let people who need it take care of it."
"That's right." Zhu Tong nodded. Everyone was really busy and really didn't have much time to take care of the old house. Ye'er was still very sensible, but too sensible.
Su Juan took Ye'er to the homes of some close relatives to say goodbye. At about ten o'clock, the Renault drove out of the town and returned to Shanghai.
Duohua's song sounded from the stereo, and the atmosphere in the car relaxed. Su Juan began to worry about her sister again and suggested that they buy a house as soon as possible.
Nowadays, house prices are changing day by day. A house that was 20,001 square meters six months ago has now risen to 24,000. Of course, Su Juan knows that Zhu Tong also made a lot of money from stock trading. Yesterday, she complained that her husband did not seize the opportunity.
If I had listened to Zhu Tong and sold those stocks that seemed to have good performance but were not going up and bought them all, I would have made at least one million.
The Shanghai man once again talked about the risks of investment. No one in the car would listen to him, not even the youngest baby.
Zhu Tong said that he would sell all his stocks when the market opens after the holidays to free up money to buy a house.
Su Juan was satisfied and Ye'er was happy, but the Shanghai man began to worry and kept asking if there was any bad news, which earned him a lot of looks.
In the evening, Zhu Tong and Ye'er came to Jinmao Tower early. Duohua came back from Japan the day before yesterday, and the Yellow Sea is here to welcome Duohua today.
Smith was here. Zhu Tong walked into the elevator and glanced around pretending to be casual. Most of the elevators here had cameras. Maybe Smith was staring at the screen. Ha, Zhu Tong had a smile on his lips, which was a bit weird.
Holding the flowers, Ye'er saw the little liar's sly smile and touched him: "What are you laughing at? It's really ugly."
"Nothing, I remember what Duohua looked like before; can you guess what she looks like now?"
"What else could it be like?" Ye'er also smiled, she was happy for the flower.
Walking into the private room, not only Ye'er was surprised, Zhu Tong was also surprised. They could hardly recognize the beautiful girl standing in front of them. She was the former Xiangxi girl, Phoenix Fairy Duohua.
Duohua was very beautiful before, but now she is not beautiful or beautiful at all, she is simply an angel, too beautiful to be true, it can be said to be a complete mess.
Zhu Tong frowned: "Duohua, why did you have plastic surgery?"
"From now on, my name is Fenghuang Xue. Does the stage name Teacher Cai gave me sound good?" Duohua not only changed her person, but also changed her name.
"It sounds nice, but it's not as friendly as the flowers." Ye'er presented the flowers, holding the flowers and looking up and down.
Duohua used to have a slightly shorter nose, slightly higher cheekbones, and a rounder face; now, her nose is taller, her cheekbones have soft curves, her eyebrows have been carefully designed, and her entire face looks slimmer. What's more important is that her skin
It's as crystal clear as snow, but that's not skin in its natural state.
"I suffered a lot in Japan. I had a full schedule every day, learning songs, recording, dancing, and filming. I was exhausted. I also had to undergo surgery. The company said that after this month, I would have no chance to go shopping outside.
I have to go to the set tomorrow. People have been waiting for me for several months. I need to hurry up. The director has urged me many times. There is also a performance. Miss Song has invited me to her party at..."
Duohua has begun to look like a star, talking about those things. She put her arms around Ye'er's shoulders and took out a set of high-end cosmetics: "I'm giving this to you. Sister Ye'er must accept it. Look at you.
Skin...have you been too busy recently? This one is specially designed for Asians..."
Ye'er accepted it. The windy and sandy air in Beijing was dry, and she felt a lot more haggard. In fact, with her daughter Yu Shushen, she was still the same, but her hair was shorter, and her whole person looked much more capable. She was not gentle enough, and of course she was not hydrated.
