Stranger
Chapter 118:Stranger
The night was still heavy snow, and the roof walls were thick.The snow in the yard and the alley outside is knee-deep.Traveling has also become difficult.
It was warm in the nest, and slept a little.When she went downstairs, the living room was irritated, and the aunt did not know where she was going.
Zhou joined the kitchen to look at it, not in a hurry to get something to eat, thinking of the flowers and plants that had moved to the eaves outside.When I opened the door, I saw a large snowman in the middle of the yard.The snowman has to be molded, and his nose and mouth are very cute.There was a red scarf around the neck.
The choir was ungrateful.Before she could get back, my aunt came in from outside.When I saw her standing under the eaves, she smiled and said, "This is Mr. Cheng who came to pile up in the morning, I was going to wake you up, he didn't let it go, after he piled up the snowman."
It was Cheng Yi who came over to pile up, and it took a lot of time for the snowman to pile up, and she did not even hear the movement outside at all.She stayed again.Think about last night.
The aunt did not notice her wanderings, and walked over quickly and said, "In the morning, I packed the soup round, and I will cook the soup round for you."
He came back to God and said, “No, I’m not hungry, I’ll cook it myself.”You are busy with yours.”
The aunt hardly let her do it, while saying that there was nothing to do in this weather, she went into the kitchen and was busy.
Zhou He stood outside for a while, moving the hardy flowers and plants to the side of the shed, and then entered the house.
He came back at noon and packed the dishes at the bottom of the hot pot.At that time, Zhou He was translating the manuscript, he handed the thing to his aunt, came over, and said: "It is suitable for eating hot pot at this time, and the company has opened a new store opposite, and they say it is not bad to eat."
He was nothing but not talking about last night.
Nod your head, no talking.Cheng Yu saw that she was busy, did not disturb her, and poured tea and drank slowly on the side.
The two of them did not speak, so it was not embarrassing to sit.When he looked up, he saw that he was looking out of God and did not know what he was thinking.
As soon as she was about to take back her eyes, he turned back, put the cup of tea in his hand, and said, “Is it over?”
He said nothing, and he bowed down to do the thing in his hand.
He stayed for most of the day, and in the afternoon he didn’t know who called him, so he left.
The snow stopped on the fourth day and did not cut electricity like it did that year.The aunt took a leave of absence after the snow melted, saying that her daughter had a child and that she would go home for a month.
The week should come down.She could do everything herself and didn’t need her aunt to take care of it anymore.But Li Pei was still worried about her and insisted that her aunt stay.
The aunt left the same day, and the house of the Zhou Yi was even more deserted.She is idle, and in addition to translating manuscripts, she often goes to the library to read books.Cheng Yu's people have always stayed on the side of the house, and several times they asked to send her, were rejected by her.
During the time of my aunt’s departure, Cheng Yi would come here from time to time.Sometimes it comes with convenience, and sometimes it brings some food to cook for yourself.
There are very few words between the two, and occasionally there is a simple communication.Most of the time they were both silent.
I don't know if it was a tense situation or how, Zhou He went out after New Year's Day, and the words followed her.She didn’t ask for anything, just nod her head and say hello to her.
Most of the time is spent in the library, and by the 20th of the lunar month, Li Pei, who has been busy, has been returning to Yucheng.When he called Zhou He, he was in the library, hung up the phone, and she put down the book in her hand and hurried away.
When she got out of the library and was about to take a taxi back, she touched her wallet and found that her wallet was missing.She doesn’t have a backpack, and often comes out with her wallet.The pocket of the coat should be where it fell while reading.
Seeing her two pockets turning over, she had been following the words behind her, and asked, “What’s wrong with Miss Zhou?”
He said, “My wallet seems to be in the library.”You wait here, I'll go back and look for it."
She was a little upset and said she went back to the library.
Where she could go alone, follow her, and say, "Don't worry, there is surveillance in the library."I'll go and see where you just sat."
She said, walking quickly into the library.
He went to the place where he had just put the book to see if he had fallen to the ground.But there is no on the ground.She went to the librarian’s side, intending to ask if anyone had picked up their wallet.
Before I left, a voice came from behind him: "Miss, please wait."
Looking back, a man in a wheelchair slid his wheelchair.
Zhou Jun wasn’t sure he was calling himself, hesitated a little, and asked, “Are you calling me?”
The man's face is handsome, his nose is tall, his outline is clear, and some are like mixed-race children.
“Yes.”He said, holding Yang’s wallet in his hand, “Is this yours?”
The wallet he had in his hand was familiar, but it was not the same.Although the money is not much, but there are ID cards and bank cards, and it is troublesome to make up.
She nodded, and said, "Yes, thank you."
The man smiled and handed her the wallet.
I came here and thanked you again.She was a little confused and asked, “How do you know it’s mine?”
The man smiled and said, "Look at the ID card in your wallet."He paused a little, and then said, "Open up and see if there's anything left, and I've seen it in that corner, and no one has touched it."
I opened my wallet and everything was inside.
When someone finds something, they have to invite someone to eat.But Li Pei was far from the house, and now she was in a hurry to go back and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something now..."
The man seemed to know what she was going to say, and he was interrupted before he finished, and he smiled and said, "Strengthen your hand, Miss Zhou doesn't have to be polite."You've been busy with yours."
He thanked him again, and thanked him again.Call her again and tell her that the wallet has been found, and then he will go back.
Li Pei had the key on this side, and when she hurried back in a hurry, he had already taken a bath and changed his clothes.He didn’t know where he was on this trip, and the whole person looked thinner.
Seeing that Zhou He ran on his forehead and sweated, he took out a paper towel and handed it to her, looked at her up and down, and said seriously, "This time it looks better."
Zhou He went to pour water and smiled and said, "Of course, it's much better, my aunt used to cook a variety of soups every day."
She said, vomiting her tongue.Those soup she drank, but she was afraid of her aunt nagging, and did not dare not drink.
Li Peiyuan couldn’t help but smile and say, “Aunt is also for your own good.”Take the opportunity to make up for it, and when you are at work, you are hungry."
No, when you are busy, you are hungry.Where the food is so exquisite now.
Li Peiyuan said what he thought here, looked at Zhou He, and asked, “What are you going to do after the year?”
He knows his character well, and knows that she is not free to be well.
He handed him a glass of water and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”I'm going to get a job first, just want to do it."
Li Pei nodded his head, thought a little, and said, “Have you ever thought about doing something yourself?”Time is free and there is not so much pressure.”
Zhou He did not think about it at all, stupored, touched his nose, and said, "I didn't think about that."
Li Pei was far away and said, “You can open a small flower shop like your brother Qiu, who is far away from the flower shop.”The location of the alley is very good, open a flower shop should be fine.At that time, please do it alone with you, and it will not be so tired to be close to home."
The flower shop is a small business, and Shu painted the first one.What is the surplus after the first call?
He knew he was worried about not resting as before.She had no intention of opening a flower shop, so she said honestly, "I'm going to find a lighter job first, and wait until I get better."
Li Peiyuan did not mention the opening of the store, smiled slightly, and said: "Temporarily do not go to Kyoto, do you want to rent out the house over there."The renovation is outdated, and now it is rented out, and when it is over, it will be renovated again.”
Zhou Jun refused to accept his help, renting out the house, can have a small income.She doesn’t have to be in such a hurry to make money.Even if you want to go back occasionally, you can live in the old house.There are a lot of rooms over there.
This has long been wanted to be mentioned, and the house is empty.She nodded, answered a good word, said: "After a year, I will find an intermediary to hang out."
“No, I have friends who are working as intermediaries.I asked him to help him hang out."Li Peiyuan said.
Zhou He did not be kind to him, saying that the party would give him the key.
The two spoke for a while, and Li Peiyuan said, “I have friends who are making money, I have seen it, and I think it is very reliable.”If you need me to find a copy of the information he gave me at the party, show you."
The old lady left the money in the passbook for Zhou, except for the return of Cheng Yi, the rest of which she did not move.
The nature he proposed will not be unreliable, and he should not think of it.
Li Peiyuan obviously thought about these things early, smiled slightly, and said other topics.
Although he is now reincarnated, it is not clear what the job is responsible for.When she was cooking later, she asked, “Uncle, how long will you be in Yucheng this time?”
It’s the end of the year, and I don’t know if he’ll be safe for a year.
Li Pei smiled slightly and said, "I will take annual leave from now on, and I will be on duty from the 30th of the New Year."
This is early vacation.
He nodded and asked, “Is that back to Kyoto?”
Li Pei took the celest and helped him choose, saying, “Don’t go back.”I went back a few days ago.”
He said, “Let’s get ahead of time.The 29th of the month passed.If you want something to eat, I'll start preparing early."
Li Peiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make the list tomorrow."He was joking, and said, "Anything you can eat is as good as usual."
The two of them did not stay on this topic all the time, and Li Pei talked about other things.
Later, thinking of Xu Yuanning, who was returning, Zhou He asked, “Little Uncle, is it still going well with Brother Xu?”
He returned intact, and Shen Yue was in prison.I’m afraid the family won’t be so nice.
Li Peiyuan's face was calm, and he said, "It's all going well."After a little pause, he continued: "The Shen family has secretly become Wei Renyi's minions a few years ago, and Shen Yue has not really served his sentence in prison, and has already released it."
His tone was calm, and he had evidently known about it long ago.He fell silent and nodded without speaking again.
It’s a vacation, but it’s not really a rest.He still has something to do, and he’s out from time to time.
Because it is planned to celebrate the New Year in advance, Zhou He began to prepare for the new year's goods early.Order fresh seafood in advance and go to the supermarket.Busy with time flies.
Cheng Yu these days do not know where to go, whether in the newspaper or on the Internet, can not see any news of Wei Renyi, Zhou He has no source.I don't know anything either.
On the 26th day of the month, he appeared again.Bring a lot of things here.
He was not surprised to be here, apparently knowing he was back.After a few years of coming, I talked to him in the library.
This conversation is the evening, and Cheng Yi naturally stays to finish the meal.Zhou took this opportunity to say the matter of the New Year in advance, and asked him to come together for the New Year together.
He came down and asked if he wanted anything to prepare.
Needless to say, she was almost ready.
Although she said that she did not have to prepare anything, on the 29th day of the lunar month, Cheng Yi still let her help early, and let her bring a few bottles of his usual collection of red wine.
Anything can be said, cut up the food and the knife is very sharp.She was curious about her life, but she didn’t ask anything.
This night house here is more popular than usual, the New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, and several of them are the kitchen of Li Pei.
There are not many people who say things, and they say things about trivial things.The wine was drunk a lot, and Zhou He was also approved to drink a small glass.
After dinner, Li Li sat for a moment and left, leaving Cheng Yi and Li Peiyuan to consider each other.They both said almost nothing, they were drinking.It was not until the early hours of the morning that he returned to the next yard.
On the 30th day of the new year, Li Pei went to work early.The garden was empty again.I couldn’t find anything to do and went back to the library.
The library is open for the last day, and it is only in the afternoon, and it will not start work until the sixth day of the first month.
Because it is the New Year, the library is cold and clear, not so many people as usual.
I found a book and was sitting and looking at it when I was going to sit down and look at it.There was a voice next to him: “It’s a coincidence, did you come here today to read a book?”
Looking back, I saw the man who had found her wallet that day sitting next to him.He was still in a wheelchair with a smile on his face.
Zhou He did not expect that the festival would see him here, return to God, and say: " Coincidentally."Are you coming to read too?”
The man nodded, smiled and said, "It's okay, just come over and read the book to pass the time."
His tone was plain and flat, and he did not give up on himself or anything else.
He smiled and said, “Reading books is also enriching yourself.”She was still in the library on such a festival, and she was curious about men.Seeing no one bothered anyone else, he said, "Listen to your accent, you don't seem to be a local."
The man nodded and said, "My hometown is on the other side of G City, and I'm here this year to travel and feel that this side is very good, so I live."He knew what Zhou wanted to ask, paused a little, and then said: "My family is abroad, I don't bother to run, where the New Year is the same, I did not go back."
His family is abroad.He nodded his head and didn’t speak anymore.
The same festival appeared in the library, but the man was not curious about her.They both looked at the books in their hands.At noon, the man put down his book and said, “It’s noon, I don’t know if I’m lucky enough to have Miss Zhou eat with me?”
It was not repugnant to his tone with a misoful taste.
Zhou Shu put up his book and said, "The last time you found my wallet and didn't pay you back, I should ask you to eat."
She said that she took the book in her hand and the man's book back in its original place, and this time she noticed that he was reading a psychology book.
She didn’t care, so she went back after putting the book and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
She said she was going to push the wheelchair, and before she could hit the wheelchair, the man said, "I'll do it myself."
With a smile on his face, he said, sliding himself into his wheelchair and walking out.He said, “I know a good soup, do you want to try it?”
Sounds familiar to him here.Nod your head, and a good word should be said.
The two slowly went out, the ground in the library was smooth, and the man himself slid his wheelchair without effort.When there were a lot of people going out, the ground was not so smooth, and he became laborious when he slid up.Zhou He helped this up, and the man did not refuse again, thanking her.
The two did not speak all the way, and until the soup restaurant mentioned by the man, there was a stone ladder in front of him who could not get the wheelchair alone.As she was thinking of a solution, the man beckoned to the waiter at the door and asked him to help move the wheelchair.He himself drew two folding canes from the back of his wheelchair, stood up, and jumped to the stone ladder.
I noticed that he had an amputation of his leg.
Although he was on the stone ladder himself, his actions were not convenient.A few short steps of the stone ladder, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.
He wanted to help me, and he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem.It was only when he finished the stone ladder that he put the wheelchair in front of him for the first time, and folded the crutches and put them back behind the wheelchair.
Although there was a tight sweat on his forehead, the man was not embarrassed.He thanked Zhou and waited until the table, and then took out the paper towel, elegantly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.
Zhou He poured him a cup of tea to hand him the menu, but he said no.The waiter on the side said an old rule, smiled at Zhou He, and said, "You can order their signature meal, the taste is very good."
Don't go out now, let the waiter have a signature meal.Then I asked for some food.
When the waiter left, when the man did not move the tea in the cup, Zhou He said, "Do you want to replace it with boiled water?"
The man did not refuse and said thank you.Then he said, "My name is Qin Yang, and I'll call my name."
It should be a good one now.I went to the waiter, and asked for a cup of boiled water to put it in front of Qin Yang, and he took a drink.
His appearance looks excellent, it is not convenient to come out alone, and he does not know how no one follows.The choir didn’t ask either.
This meal sounds simple, but it’s not.The waiter brought the meal, and Zhou He found that Qin Yang's tableware was different.Obviously, it is prepared separately.
She pretended not to notice and ate.
Qin Yang ate slowly, slowly.When he ate a few bites, he asked, “How?”It tastes good, doesn’t it?”
He nodded and said, “It’s delicious.The food is also good.”She looked up here, looked at Qin Yang, and said, “This side doesn’t look very much, how did you find it?”
Qin Yang's tone brought some pride, slowly took a sip of soup, and said: "The whole city, a lot of delicious land I know."
He was surprised and asked, “Have you been here long?”
Qin Yang shook his head and said, “No, it’s only been half a year.”He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Maybe my sense of smell is more sensitive, so it’s easy to find a good place to eat.”If you don't know what to eat, you can ask me, I'll recommend it to you."
He said without modesty, Zhou smiled and said, "I'm half a local."
Qin Yang picked up his eyebrows and said, “So what?Many locals are familiar with the shops around.There should be very few people, like me, who run half the city in order to eat.”
It was true, at least there was no such person around her.She nodded, nod her head.
Qin Yang eats equally elegantly, and hardly makes a sound.Whatever he needed, he would politely call the waiter, and it was a very gentlemanly tip.
He was curious about his identity, but he didn’t ask anything.I just eat the soup in front of you.
