After breakfast and a short rest, the three of them were ready to leave.
Li Rou directly wore an old jersey and a pair of worn-out basketball shoes, like a street basketball player who hangs out in the streets and alleys all day long. Li Banzhuang is a girl after all. The old clothes are gone, but I still wear them beautifully.
An Nanxiu looked at Li Rou, then at Li Banzhuang, and then asked Li Rou softly, "Do I want to change?"
Li Rou listened to her voice that seemed to be suppressed deliberately, and was used to her domineering, oppressive and princess-like tone. Li Rou was a little uncomfortable, as if she was a little girl who could be arranged casually .
Li Rou felt that something was wrong, and said cautiously: "No, just take a look and guide us."
An Nanxiu nodded. Of course, she would guide the work. In the past, when the maids cleaned the bedroom, she would let them repeat the fixed procedure three times before checking. There is no need to think about this kind of thing. Letting them do it several times is always Be cleaner.
Take the subway first, then walk to the bus station, and then take the bus to the suburbs.
The suburbs of big cities are still densely covered with various large and small factory buildings, but the sky and atmosphere are much cleaner after all, and the sky in the distance has a clear azure blue.
After getting out of the car, An Nanxiu raised his head and looked at the blue sky from a distance, "I thought the sky on the earth was gray and black and ugly."
Li Banzhuang thought, An Nanxiu was saying weird things again.
"Want to see a cleaner sky? Next time I'll take you to the beach, maybe that kind of sky is similar to what you want to see." Li Rou thought, what An Nanxiu misses the most must be the sky of Tianyun God Realm , the sky there should be very clear, deep, and quiet. After all, there is no evil effect of global industrialization there.
"Okay." An Nanxiu thought for a while and smiled.
Li Rou was stunned, An Nanxiu didn't seem awkward at all today, so he instinctively reached out to touch An Nanxiu's forehead, "Did you catch a cold yesterday?"
An Nanxiu suddenly took a step back like a frightened rabbit, her cheeks blushing, "Don't touch me!"
"Don't touch her, don't be ambiguous." Li Rou was also sensitive, and felt that saying that she was not allowed to touch her would make Li Banzhuang have some bad associations.
Li Banzhuang looked at the two of them with strange eyes. Something must have happened that she didn't know about, and they didn't want to tell her.
Along the road, you can see rice fields being harvested. There are many paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but the fields harvested in autumn are half-dry, with some cracks and gaps, leaving rice stubble, and occasionally frogs jumping in it Yes, when people startle them, some frogs will always make noises in agreement, reminding the surrounding companions.
Li Rou led the road in front and walked to the courtyard on the edge of the town in a devious way. Li Banzhuang did not forget this place where he and his brother had suffered a lot of bitterness and joy, and took shortcuts with ease.
An Nanxiu kept frowning, and gradually became a little dissatisfied, because the place was dusty and dirty her clean shoes, but she didn't want to care about it today, she was always a little guilty, and some unprecedented experiences made her feel uncomfortable. She is now suffering from mental torment.
Last night An Nanxiu had a dream. In the dream, Li Rou was touching her. It was a strange thing, a strange feeling. When An Nanxiu woke up in the morning, she felt as if she was broken.
An Nanxiu hated Li Rou for breaking into her dream. This bad guy actually entered her dream without her permission and did such a thing to her. The hateful thing was that he didn't seem to shock him with lightning in the dream.
An Nanxiu was a little worried. She was angry with herself and Li Rou. Of course, it was more against Li Rou. It was all his fault.
But An Nanxiu was so angry, after all, there was no way to be justified, otherwise Li Rou would definitely look innocent and suffer innocent injustice. If he pestered her to ask him to explain, what would An Nanxiu say
Normally, An Nanxiu could of course say unreasonably that you just hate and want to call you, but not now, with Li Banzhuang here, An Nanxiu always feels that she and Li Rou are being unreasonable, it's between two people things that I don't want others to see.
Walking and walking, An Nanxiu began to think that Li Rou's princess was being hugged. If he was willing to take the initiative to hug her and walk over like this, An Nanxiu would definitely agree. After all, he had good intentions and rejected him, maybe he would embarrassing.
Of course, An Nanxiu himself would never make such a request on his own initiative. How is it possible? Does it make him think that she is a girl who just wants to be hugged casually
An Nanxiu thought so, and walked for more than half an hour, but Li Rou didn't take the initiative, so An Nanxiu became angry again, I gave you a chance to take the initiative to hug me, but I didn't do it!
As for what she was thinking in her head, how could Li Rou know, this is not the reason for her to care.
Just angry, An Nanxiu lowered his head and walked away sullenly.
"Ouch!"
Hit something, if you bumped into a telephone pole, it would be embarrassing to death. An Nanxiu saw someone turn his head to look at her on the street, and then made a fool of himself like this.
Touching her forehead, it didn't hurt, she raised her head, and there was a tall and big Li Rou standing in front of her.
"What's the matter today? That's coming again?" Li Rou always felt that something was wrong with An Nanxiu today, and she walked with her head buried in silence without expressing any opinions.
"You just came here!" An Nanxiu thought that he finally understood that he should walk with Her Royal Highness in his arms, and was angrily disappointed. He glanced at Li Banzhuang who was walking by himself, and secretly squeezed into Li Rourou's arms. squeezed, and then gave Li a small shock.
Li Rou trembled all over, the awkwardness and something wrong in his heart finally disappeared, this is An Nanxiu.
What a shame, Li Rou thought.
"Brother, come quickly, where is the key to the yard door?" Li Banzhuang was already standing at the gate of the yard. After all, it was her and her brother's home, and it was full of memories, although a small part was related to parents, not How willing to dig out the haze, but most of them are full of warm happiness in my heart when I am with my brother.
Happiness does not lie in the extravagant Barbie dolls of peers, the ice cream of Haagen-Dazs, or the endless new clothes that can be changed throughout the year. When Li Banzhuang was young, seeing his brother running back sweating, The whole person was dirty, her clothes and arms were torn, and there were blood marks on her cheeks, but she tightly grabbed the candy that was snatched from her, counted and counted carefully, and then one When a lot of land was returned to her, Li Banzhuang knew what happiness he should cherish and guard the most.
Seeing Li Banzhuang standing at the gate of the yard waving at him, Li Rou remembered that he went to pick up scrap iron from a nearby factory after school, and then rushed home when it was getting dark. His sister was sitting on a small stool waiting at the gate own appearance.
"Brother." Li Banzhuang saw the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. Originally, he planned to come here only with his brother. With the addition of An Nanxiu, there was no chance to recall childhood with his brother.
Li Rou took out the key, wiped the dusty brass lock, and opened the courtyard door.
Li Rou and Li Banzhuang were born here, gradually got used to their parents not being around here, grew up gradually, and then left here and returned here.
The house is an old house of some years. Zhonghai was a prosperous big city in the colonial era. There are many small western-style buildings that were once called luxury in the surrounding urban and rural areas. Some of these small western-style buildings are well preserved and are still the residences of rich people. Some But it was dilapidated due to disrepair for a long time, just like this one of Li Rou’s house, the attic was blown up in the war, and the rest of the building did not have the exquisiteness and magnificence of a small western-style building. There is no difference between ordinary buildings built by most villagers themselves.
The old house still has a not-so-small yard. Li Rou and Li Banzhuang can even find countless pleasures in it like "Sanwei Bookstore" written by Mr. Lu Xun. At this time, because the two children did not bother with them , Those vines and all kinds of flowers and plants pressed against the corners of the wall grew wildly, making the whole house green and quiet.
"You go to the courtyard for a while. It's dusty inside. We'll clean it up first, and then I'll show you the photos of Li Zi when he was a child." Li Rou said to An Nanxiu who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and didn't come in.
An Nanxiu didn't agree to him, but just raised his head and looked at the jackfruit tree in the yard that was six or seven stories high.
I don't know how many years this jackfruit tree has grown. When Li Rou and Li Banzhuang remembered, it was so tall. I heard from the oldest old man in the town that this tree was here when he was a child.
Then the old man sometimes said that when he was a child, he heard from his grandfather that this tree was here when he was a child.
No one knows how old this tree is. It is said that some experts have come to research and apply for protection for this tree, but in the end it seems to be nothing.
The maximum fruit of a jackfruit tree can weigh twenty to thirty kilograms. Even the small ones are much heavier than ordinary newborn babies. More than ten kilograms is very common. There are very few jackfruit trees in places like Zhonghai that can bloom and bear fruit every year, but This jackfruit from Li Rou's house is fine. It has been picked since April and May, and now there are still the last batch hanging on the tree. Li Rou has made a lot of money selling these jackfruits.
"This is the tree of life." An Nanxiu suddenly pointed to the jackfruit tree.
Li Rou raised his head and couldn't help laughing. The huge jackfruit fruit, if you peel the pulp inside, it is really not a big problem to hide a child. If there is a fruit that can burst open to give birth to a child, then the jackfruit fruit must be In terms of appearance, it best meets the requirements.
But how could this jackfruit tree be the tree of life? Li Rou picked hundreds of jackfruit fruits and sold countless of them.
Li Rou looked at the crumbling jackfruit fruits, and then at An Nanxiu, "Then I'll go up and pick a few, and maybe there will be a second princess, a third princess, and a fourth princess!"—
All kinds of requests.
