After a few autumn rains, the weather turned cooler in an instant.
When Fang Daichuan came out of the house, he was hit by the cold air outside. He wrapped up his coat and pushed open the door of the convenience store while making a phone call: "When will it arrive? I'll go to the small supermarket at the intersection to escape the wind. Hurry up, or the road will be blocked if it's too late."
The little girl in the convenience store said hello without looking up: "Welcome."
"Two cups of hot coffee." Fang Daichuan clapped his hands.
Hearing his familiar voice, the little girl raised her head eagerly, and shouted in surprise: "Brother Chuaner! Is it you, Brother Chuaner!?"
Fang Daichuan is used to the twenty-eighth line, and he never pretends when he goes out. He opened his face openly, and was a little uncomfortable being recognized at first: "Uh... yes, it's me."
"Sit down quickly!" The little girl came out of the counter and opened the chair in the corner by the door for him courteously, "Have you had breakfast? What do you want to eat? We have sandwiches wrapped in sauce, rice balls, hot coffee and soy milk! Self-heating small hot pot and microwave rice!"
Fang Daichuan laughed: "Two cups of hot coffee, go ahead, don't call me."
After a while, the little girl brought two cups of coffee carefully, with brisk steps and ponytail bouncing. She also carefully hooked two peach hearts on the milk foam of the coffee. Fang Daichuan looked down and smiled when he saw the peach hearts. She glanced at her helplessly. Compare your heart.
"Brother Chuan'er, we all like you!" After a while, the store was not so busy, and the little girl handed over a note, "Please sign me."
Fang Daichuan signed the contract neatly. Today he was wearing a cotton gray long windbreaker, light blue ripped jeans, and high-top work shoes. He was handsome and energetic. The little girl took out her phone and snapped a few photos.
"Brother Chuaner, I heard that you secretly sneaked into the cruise ship on the high seas, helped the police solve a major transnational case, and even took over a mercenary force from abroad. You are brave and invincible, isn't it true?!" The little girl was excited to listen to gossip.
Fang Daichuan was a little ashamed: "It's not that exaggerated. The main reason is that the police are brave and invincible. I just went to join in the fun."
The little girl stomped her feet in excitement: "Brother Chuan'er, don't be modest! The police even posted a Weibo notice to praise you. You didn't know that when you were taken away by the police to discuss tasks, many gossip accounts spread rumors about you taking drugs and whoring! We Arguing with reason, I was almost violently attacked by passers-by online. We said in the fan group at that time, our brother Chuaner is definitely not such a person! You don’t know that when the police notice came out, the faces of those people were slapped!”
Fang Daichuan smiled awkwardly.
"Knock, knock!" The glass window behind him was knocked twice, Fang Daichuan turned around to look, and Li Sinian greeted him with a smile, signaling him to come out.
"Wow... so handsome!" the little girl shouted in a low voice, "Is that brother Chuan'er your friend? He's also a star!"
Fang Daichuan stood up holding the cup, and said with a smile: "No, he is the mercenary leader who was taken over by me."
"Brother Chuan'er, you are so humorous." The little girl was amused by him.
Li Sinian took the cup of coffee in his hand and opened the car door for him, but when he turned around, he saw the little girl lying on the doorway, with her hands stretched out for a while, rubbing her fingers to form two hearts, and then clasping her hands on top of her head to form a heart, and taking a breath I changed several tricks, but in short it was a passionate confession.
Li Sinian smiled and started the car without saying anything.
Grandpa made table dishes in the small alley today, and invited them over.
The persimmon tree in the grandfather's yard bears fruit, and he is too old to take care of it, so Fang Daichuan is asked to beat persimmons for him, and treat them to dinner after beating.
"What is the deputy bureau looking for you for? Asking you to work for them?" Fang Daichuan held up a coffee cup and fed it to Li Sinian at a traffic light ahead.
Li Sinian glanced down at the peach heart milk foam, took a big sip calmly, and sipped the milk foam: "It's nothing serious, report to him every month, and explain the progress of the task."
Fang Daichuan frowned: "It's so troublesome? Are you free in the United States?"
Li Sinian smiled without saying a word.
"Also, what kind of character did you set up for me?! I asked the police to spread rumors about drug abuse and prostitution for me. You're good, what did you do? You also gave me a bravery award. I want that What are you doing?" Fang Daichuan pursed his lips and muttered.
Li Sinian freed his hands to rub the dog's head: "The medals are pretty nice, go back and throw them to Beta to chew on."
"Pull it down," Fang Daichuan wrinkled his nose, "It's gold-plated, it won't kill it with poison."
The two of them got on badly.
Beta hated Fang Daichuan for beating up his master and vomiting blood. Fang Daichuan looked down on Li Sinian as if he hugged his son every day. He hugged Beta first when he got home.
A while ago, Beta was old and Li Sinian didn't have time, so he asked Fang Daichuan to send him to be sterilized, but Beta resisted, Fang Daichuan forcefully stuffed him into a cat bag and sent him to the hospital. When he came out of the hospital, Beta wore an ugly circle of shame, desperate Bitten through the seat cover of Li Sinian's new car.
When Li Sinian came back that day, Beta held his master's trouser leg in his mouth, wept with tears in his eyes, bit his master, and went to Fang Daichuan's feet step by step, yelling, pointing at Fang Daichuan and complaining to his master, his face was disfigured due to grievance.
—I didn’t know that the master behind the scenes was his beloved master, it was a tragedy on earth, sad.
From then on, Fang Daichuan and Beta were almost inseparable, and they couldn't eat at the same table. Li Sinian ate with his wife and son every night, and maintained the harmony and stability of the pet family with his golden right hand.
I didn't bring Beta out today. Li Sinian heard that his grandfather had a big yellow dog. Cats and canines naturally don't get along well. Li Sinian was deeply touched by this and decided not to disobey the laws of nature anymore.
The small alley was too narrow for a car to enter, so the two parked their car at the parking strip on the side of the road and walked in.
"The old man used to sell orange candies and Arctic Ocean soda here." Fang Daichuan pointed to a piece of flat land at the entrance of the alley.
Li Sinian laughed at him: "I remember what I ate so clearly, but I forgot everything."
Fang Daichuan was a little embarrassed, hooked his brother Nian's little finger, held his finger and smiled at him.
When he walked to the small courtyard next door, Li Sinian stopped for a while. He looked at the bicycle and the screen wall through the open door, smiled, and thought of something.
Fang Daichuan felt a little distressed.
"Woof - woof -" the big yellow dog sensed Fang Daichuan's movement, ran out from the side door, ran into Fang Daichuan's arms, and licked his face.
"Oh, that's all right, all right, Rhubarb, you look down to see how much you weigh, and you still think you are a puppy, you can't hold it anymore!" Fang Daichuan scolded with a smile, stroking Rhubarb's head affectionately, and was hit by Beta The broken love for pets was instantly healed.
Da Huang jumped down, squatted aside, and looked at Li Sinian with his head tilted.
Li Sinian squatted down and stretched out his golden right hand: "Hi, Dahuang, I'm Li Sinian."
Da Huang thought for a while, leaned over and licked his hand, rubbing his palm slightly with the top of his head.
"Yo, it's not easy." Grandpa came out of the door with an old cigarette bag in his mouth, and pulled on his shoes. "Da Huang usually doesn't take the initiative to get close to strangers. You're a good boy."
Fang Daichuan had a black line on his forehead, and he didn't know what kind of mentality Li Sinian had when he was praised because he was approached by a dog.
Li Sinian was quite generous, he stood up and nodded, and shouted, "Grandpa is good."
Grandpa nodded: "It's okay for you, it's the first time for our Chuan'er to bring friends over. Come in quickly and walk around."
The persimmon tree is quite tall, and it is not young. Picking persimmons is no better than picking dates. Overripe persimmons cannot be knocked down.
Fang Daichuan brought two ladders and divided the work with Li Sinian, one on the left and one on the right. Grandpa stretched his neck up to follow, picked one, blew the dirt on it, and stacked it into the frame.
"A few days ago, old Li's jujube was shot. His daughter got married this year, and his son-in-law came to give me two baskets of jujube. He showed me how tall his son-in-law is." Grandpa seemed unintentional. He said, "Today I picked persimmons, and sent him a basket, and told him that my Chuan'er and his friend picked them by themselves. Our family's Chuan'er is taller, and his friend is also taller than his son-in-law. Let me show off."
Li Sinian's hands froze, and he looked down at his grandfather, who was staring at him. His hand trembled, and a ripe persimmon came out of his hand and hit the ground.
"Look at you, be careful." Grandpa glanced regretfully. "You young people now say that wind is rain, and you throw it away when it's worn out. You have no patience at all. It's not like us back then, when we could do anything. Slowly, if it is worn out, it will be used for a lifetime after repairing it, and pay attention to the long-term flow of water."
Li Sinian didn't dare to answer a word, so he smiled and obediently raised his head to pick the persimmons.
Fang Daichuan didn't hear anything else at all, he looked up for the persimmon on the top of the tree, and said with a smile: "Oh, grandpa, don't talk about ancient times, this is what age, efficiency is life, let's make a quick decision, pick the persimmon After finishing the persimmons, I still want to eat the cake you baked."
The cake baked by grandpa is delicious, hot water and noodles, the inside of the cake is tender and the outside is crispy, and the layers are distinct after one bite.
He quickly fried two more dishes, cut a cold appetizer, and made up two meat and two vegetables. Stir-fried shredded duck in sauce, cold-cut beef in sauce, dried leeks and vermicelli cabbage, wrapped in pancakes and rolled up to eat, and a haggis soup with a handful of pepper noodles. In the mid-autumn season, Fang Daichuan was sweating slightly after eating in the small open-air courtyard.
Fang Daichuan's father also knows pancakes, but his hands are not as good as the old man's. If the water is too hot, the noodles will be cooked at once, but if the water is cold, they will not be crispy enough.
Fang Daichuan praised while eating: "If you don't talk about pancakes, it must be my grandfather. My dad is really not as good as you."
"The old lady likes to eat pancakes." Grandpa opened a bottle of white wine and poured them both, "I baked pancakes for your grandma all her life. She had a bad appetite in the last few years, so she liked to eat soft and sweet ones. After the persimmons were planted, I mixed them with the persimmons to make pancakes for her, and she could eat triangles. How long has your dad baked?"
He pushed the wine cup to Li Sinian, raised his eyes and asked, "Have a cup?"
Fang Daichuan hurriedly refused: "It's okay, it's okay, you come by car, don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving."
Li Sinian ignored him, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his grandfather, raised his head in silence and drank it.
"Okay!" The old man was happy, and he took the wine glass to fill up for himself. Li Sinian hurriedly took the wine bottle, and filled the wine for grandpa across half of the stone table. He took Fang Daichuan's wine glass and drank it up with him Had a second cup.
Seeing that Fang Daichuan could not be persuaded, he sighed and poured a bowl of soup for himself.
"Our Chuan'er grew up with me. When he was a child, his parents were busy, and he was like me in eating, living and behaving like me." Grandpa took another glass of wine, implying, "He is stubborn, look for it He doesn’t let go of anything. What he likes to eat, he has to eat it all his life, and he will never change his taste until he dies. We Chuan’er loves to eat the rice I cook, and I thought, if I don’t, who will cook crab roe for him? Rice, who will pancake for him?"
Fang Daichuan sighed speechlessly: "Don't worry, Grandpa, you can live at least one hundred and nine with this body. After you go down, my dad's cooking skills will be honed, and I can eat."
"Can your dad cook for you for a lifetime?!" Grandpa's eyes widened.
Li Sinian drank the cup with his head up, put down the cup, and said solemnly: "I'm not very good at cooking, and the appearance and taste are far worse if I cook well. If you don't mind me, I will come here often to ask you for advice." Ask for advice. What do you teach me, what do I learn. I learn slowly, but fortunately, it takes a long time, and with just a few dishes, I will cook them all my life, so the taste will not be too far away."
When they went back, Fang Daichuan was driving, and Li Sinian was sitting in the passenger seat, in a trance.
Fang Daichuan glanced at him while waiting for the red light: "Aren't you drunk? No way, three glasses of wine, don't you drink well?"
Li Sinian smiled, thinking of the energetic girl who got up early, thinking of her heart that was out of tricks.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt drunk for a moment. He rubbed his fingers together to show his heart, and blinked his left eye at Fang Daichuan: "Brother Chuaner, show your heart to you."
Fang Daichuan was stunned for three seconds. He was so cute that he couldn't help himself. He lay on the steering wheel and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up. He laughed for 30 seconds. Li Sinian was so annoyed by his laughter that his face was rarely red. Taking advantage of the last five seconds before the red light changed color, he grabbed Fang Daichuan by the collar, bowed his head and kissed her.
Bixin+wink from Brother Nian, what a treat.
