"Mom, we will have gnocchi soup tonight." Xu Jian'an just replied inadvertently. He didn't react until he finished speaking. He only turned to look at Liang Xiuju who was still stunned in the hall.

    "Mom, what do you call me mom?" Xu Jianan put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly greeted him.

    Liang Xiuju panicked, but after all she had pretended to be a lunatic for several years, and quickly calmed down and said: "I call you Xiaoan, I heard the girl inside call you Xiaoan? Are you called Xiaoan?"

    "Yes! I'm Xiaoan." Xu Jianan wept with joy, and only stepped forward and hugged Liang Xiuju and said: "Mom, I am your

    Xiaoan !" Liang Xiuju's body stiffened, trying to restrain her impulse to hold Xu Jianan, compassionate. There were tears in his eyes.

    After a while, Xu Jianan let go of Liang Xiuju. Seeing that she was still looking at herself with the same eyes as before, she was a little embarrassed, and only cleared her throat and said, "Mom, let's eat."

    Xie Lijun came out of the room. By coincidence, she saw the scene of Fang Cai. She winked at Liang Xiuju calmly, and both of them sat down quietly.

    Xu Jianan gave Xie Lijun a bowl of gnocchi soup. Xie Lijun took it. He was about to lower his head to eat, but he listened to him: "Cousin, I will go to the commune early tomorrow morning. Mom will trouble you to take care of it."

    Liang Xiuju sat down. On the side, eating without expression, as if not hearing them.

    Xu Jianan glanced at Liang Xiuju and continued: "I made sesame seed cakes, enough for you to eat for three days. I will come back after three days and make you some other food."

    He said, taking a sip at the same time. The gnocchi in the mouth, the mushroom soup boiled in the morning is very delicious, it also adds a lot of color to the gnocchi soup. He usually reluctant to eat such mountain products, they would keep them dried and sold them in the commune for money, but now Xie Lijun is in confinement, and there is no nutrition at home, so he can only boil some more soup to make up for her. , And by the way, I can also eat a bite.

    Xie Lijun nodded and said: "Don't worry, now I can get up and walk around. With me, I won't make my aunt hungry." She said, holding the only dish on the table with chopsticks. ——Put the eggs in a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks in Liang Xiuju's bowl, pause, and put another piece into Xu Jianan's bowl.

    Xu Jianan's movement of scratching gnocchi was stagnant, his eyes fell into the bowl, and he quickly picked up the scrambled egg with his chopsticks and placed it in Liang Xiuju's bowl.

    Xie Lijun's expression was a little embarrassed, but Xu Jianan smiled and said, "Mom likes to eat scrambled eggs, let her eat more."

    Xie Lijun pursed the corner of her mouth, showing a slight smile, eating in a bowl without any taste. Things, thoughts have drifted far.

    ****** The

    night is dark and silent, and the sound of a man's sleeping breathing is heard from the next room from time to time, but Xie Lijun can't fall asleep.

    She has been raised in Xu's family since she was a child and regarded this as her home. Since she was a child, the adults have also told her that she will be Xu Jian'an's wife in the future, although she is three years older than him. But as the old saying goes, female junior, holding gold bricks, she never thought that one day she would leave this home. So... the first time Xu Jianan said that he didn't want to marry her, it was like the sky had fallen to her.

    But... he is the cousin she grew up watching, how could she not know his character? It is always the same.

    Besides, what is a child bride? It was a remnant of feudalism. It was about to be overthrown and pulled out

    to wear a high hat... Xie Lijun flinched. Instead of making it difficult for Xu Jian'an to do it, she might as well find someone to marry. She told the two elderly and aunt herself that she When she grows up, she wants to marry.

    But although she is good-looking, her composition is not good. There are many people who secretly give her away, but few who really dare to marry her. Either she didn't look down on her as a landlord class, or she couldn't come up with the gift money she wanted, and in the end only one Chen Yongfa, who had a dead wife, met her conditions.

    She had also been afraid and flinched, but...the kind of nurturing could not be repaid, the Xu family needed the money.

    Just remembering that, tears wet the pillow again.

    Xie Lijun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand unconvincingly. In her confusion, she felt that the sky was about to dawn. The rooster in the yard cried several times. She heard the movement from the next room and knew that Xu Jianan was up.

    She thought of getting up and asking him a few words, but after all she held back.

    ******

    Bai Su is waiting for Xu Jianan on the dam at the entrance of the village.

    The morning wind radiated a slightly moist coolness, blowing away her sleepy sleepiness.

    She raised her head and saw Xu Jian'an riding a bicycle along the trail on the mountainside. The sky was full of sunrise clouds behind him, and his whole person seemed to be shining.

    Bai Su finally turned her gaze away. Xu Jian'an was so dazzling that she wanted to chase after him.

    I don’t know how long it took. She heard the bicycle ringing from behind. Xu Jianan called her from behind, “Comrade Bai Su, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

    Well... the same polite and alienated tone, but let Bai Su let go of the embarrassment. She didn't look at Xu Jianan, but pushed her bicycle forward, and said as she walked: "I'm just here too."

    Xu Jianan followed behind her and saw her swaying upwards. I didn't know why after I got out of the car, I felt relieved in my heart.

    On the next road, the two did not say a word, and they rode their bicycles intently. In less than half an hour, the two of them had already arrived at the commune... This was an unprecedented speed.

    As soon as they arrived at the commune, the two went straight to the commune guest house. The person in charge of the guest house has not yet arrived. There is only one old man who is on duty at night, watching the doorman. Seeing that they have arrived early in the morning, they only yawned. "We didn’t go to work until eight o’clock here. The two comrades also came too early. Haven’t we had breakfast? Let’s entertain all the cafeterias. Why don’t we go there and eat some?"

    Bai Su then remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and dared to ride along the way, already making her hungry to the front of her back.

    Xu Jianan didn’t eat breakfast either. Hearing these words, he suddenly turned to Bai Su and said, "Comrade Bai Su, may I ask you to eat lamb shank noodles at the supply and marketing agency?"

    Bai Su gave him a cold look, but he felt something in his heart. A bit angry, Xu Jian'an is like this. Whenever he wants to draw a clear line with the other party, he can’t wait to explain all the things that the previous two have experienced, and see if he owes the other party. If there is, It must be clean.

    How could his damn man's self-esteem be so strong?

    When I saw him again, Bai Su was still a little sad and embarrassed. When he said this, the anger in his heart immediately replaced the sadness and embarrassment.

    "I'm not hungry, besides, I don't like eating lamb leg noodles either." Bai Su replied coldly.

    She was originally good-looking, fair-skinned and crystal clear, slender and well-proportioned. She was wearing a neat white short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers. She also cut her short hair, and when she was not smiling, she had a noble and glamorous feeling. , And Bai Lin is like 70% to 80%.

    Hearing this, the old man on the side was only surprised: "Are there any lesbians who don't like to eat lamb shank noodles? The lamb shank noodles of our commune supply and marketing cooperative, even in the whole Yongan County, are unique. I've been in the newspaper!"

    Bai Su still stood there with a cold face, Xu Jianan looked up at her, didn't say anything, just turned around, pushed the bicycle and left.

    Seeing Xu Jian'an leaving behind, Bai Su didn’t know what it was like. She had clearly thought about it last night, and she must keep calm when seeing him, like seeing ordinary friends, even if they can no longer be like their previous lives. The same know and love each other, but at least you can be a normal friend.

    But this is easy to think of, but difficult to do. What's more...she is really hungry now...she screamed so hungry as her stomach...

    "You lesbian lied, right?" The old guardian looked at her with a look of doubts, and he did not shy away from exposing her: "This belly is singing the empty city plan." He originally thought they were objects. The two are awkward, but they feel wrong again. How can anyone call the other party a comrade?

    Bai Su’s cheeks were slightly red, and she asked him openly: "Master, do you have hot water here? I want to drink hot water first." Bai Su felt a little dizzy. She didn't have anemia before. But after all, people of this age have nothing to eat, they are all thin and thin. I don’t know if it’s because of donating blood to Xie Lijun. Recently, she is becoming increasingly hungry. If she is late for breakfast in the morning, Will be a little dizzy.

    The old man saw her face turned red and white, so he hurriedly said: "Then you park your bicycle first. There is a sofa in the lobby. Where are you staying? I will pour you a glass of water first, and then Director Liu. Here, let him take you to the back cafeteria for breakfast."

    Bai Su stopped his bicycle and sat down in the lobby of the guest house . He just closed his eyes for a while, and listened to the uncle outside the door saying: "Dr. Liu, you are here. The comrades of the delegation have arrived, and are sitting in the lobby!" He said as he came in with a teacup.

    As soon as Bai Sucai opened his eyes, he saw an acquaintance, and the two said in unison: "Why are you?"

    It turned out that Liu Weimin was working in the guest house of the commune.

    Bai Su thought of Li Xiu'e for a while, and only asked, "How are Sister Xiu'e and the child?"

    "It's good." Liu Weimin nodded, there was not much smile on his face, and Li Xiu'e was in a bad mood after returning to the country. Well, there is not enough milk. For this matter, his mother, Zhang Guixiang, secretly counted her a few times. She only said, "I gave birth to a girl, and I didn’t say a serious thing. She was uncomfortable herself. Every day was delicious. I don’t understand why the people in this city are so golden and expensive to serve?” Li Xiu’e heard it, and became angry again, and secretly wiped it. I shed a lot of tears.
