On the way back, I saw a shop selling sugar-roasted chestnuts. I bought it for thirty yuan and hung it on the front of my car.
There are many ingots to buy incense and candles during the Chinese New Year, so business is good during this period.
The cities in the south believe in worshiping stoves, worshiping gods, paying homage to festivals, and honoring ancestors, so let’s forget it now. Instead of gathering ingots, every house will buy a sacred cabinet. The incense and candle shop also sells red paper, couplets, firecrackers, red envelopes, lanterns and the like for the New Year.
Fireworks are set off right next to the Xiangjiang River, and every New Year's Eve the fireworks go off from New Year's Eve to after the Lantern Festival.
Feng Wuli and Wang Xilou would watch fireworks every year. Sometimes they would set off the fireworks themselves, but everyone else would set off fireworks. Wang Xilou would take a dozen long strings of firecrackers and go to the riverside to explode them. At that time, Feng Wuli was young and felt very embarrassed. , now that I have grown up, I still feel very embarrassed.
Junsha's tertiary industry has developed very well in recent years, but in the central agricultural province of southern Hunan, it is impossible for economic development to take off in less than 30 to 50 years. In recent years, high-rise buildings have sprung up, and you can see them standing in front of the old streets. A landmark building, the glass walls of several office buildings look like the scales of giant beasts under the winter sun, shimmering with golden light.
Just looking back at the old street, there are low old buildings of different heights. Clothes-drying rods are randomly stretched out from the windows. There are a few sparrows parked on the black cables. They are frightened away immediately by the bang.
The two scenes appear on the same screen, like conversations in different time and space. It has the impact of the future world hitting the urban-rural fringe. It is unreasonable but already mixed together. You can only face it and accept it.
There are a few young people over there using black spiders to fry various things.
Wanwan, who was wearing bulging clothes, was also standing there. She was obviously playing with them. She stuck her butt out and covered her ears. When the firecracker went off, her tail hair exploded, and then she couldn't help but shake.
There is always more flavor here than other places.
There are still ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and strange cars often drive in. They are usually young people who come to visit relatives or work abroad and come back to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
Just now when Feng Wuli rode his bicycle in, he saw a McLaren with a Beijing license plate driving in. There were not many luxury cars that he could recognize. He could recognize it because Jiang Nao's father came to school once. After driving an identical car, his first reaction was, Hey, the door opens upward.
The license plate is from the north, and why did such a luxury car come to the old street?
"Wanwan, don't play with dangerous things. Come back later to eat chestnuts." He shouted.
Wanwan's ears twitched, her tail stood up high, and she looked over, "I know...brother!"
Feng Wuli was satisfied.
It’s almost Chinese New Year again.
The woman in the shop was dressed like a lucky doll. She had just finished counting things for the customers, clapped her hands and stood up. She was dressed so thickly that Feng Wuli judged that it was Wang Xilou. When she saw Feng Wuli coming back, she asked, "Have you finished the exam?"
"The exam is finally over."
"How did you do on the exam?"
"Okay."
He leaned his bicycle outside and said, "The roasted chestnuts I bought on the road are still warm."
"Master just touched those papers and his hands were a little dirty."
She also wears an ugly woolen hat on her head, with small fur balls hanging on both sides. The down jacket is a couple's style. Her upper body is bloated, and she wears black leggings on her lower body. Only her face is exposed, and her skin is exposed. The delicate white skin is red, and looks innocent. ….
Feng Wuli peeled one off and fed it to her. Watching her cheeks bulge as she chewed it, he fiddled with the little zombie's lips with his index finger.
The little zombie was surprised by his behavior that provoked the teacher's dignity.
"Do you still want to eat?"
"Feed Master."
She sat cross-legged behind the counter, with a blanket on the chair and a heater underneath, playing some Spider Solitaire before going out to buy groceries.
"Can't you go wash your hands?"
"Hurry up and serve Master well. Master will give you tonight..." She thought she was very charming and winked at her young apprentice, but in fact, she was stunningly beautiful quietly. An old lady must have an old lady. The way the wife looks, the way she condescends to others and talks in an unreasonable manner just feels funny and nondescript.
"I'll make something delicious for you."
"..."
"Are you thinking of something unhealthy? Hey, little disciple, your thoughts are not pure."
With a look of success on her face, she took out a foot wearing white stockings from her cotton slippers and lightly kicked his thigh.
Feng Wuli went upstairs directly and didn't bother to pay attention to this woman.
"Let's sit with Master! You're on vacation and you don't have to read!"
Feng Wuli had already called from the stairs: "Come here, Po slave, I'll peel chestnuts for you."
There was a thump of bare feet on the floor upstairs.
Wang Xilou had already imagined an image of an Erha rushing towards Feng Wuli with his own appearance.
In fact, it was just as she thought.
The little girl was wearing a cool summer dress, a black vest on her upper body, and puffy pants made of the same material as a mosquito net on her lower body. She walked over with two long legs and bare feet, and she looked cold.
Feng Wuli held his face with a hand.
Her hand was still stretched forward, but unfortunately it was not long enough, so she could only pull at the air.
There was a black cat on the sofa watching "Tom and Jerry". She was concentrating on it, and there was a mark next to the seat. It seemed that Ponu had just been sitting there watching it with her.
"Eat the chestnuts, they're still warm." Feng Wuli handed them to Po Nu.
Ye Ji didn't speak to him when he sat down.
Feng Wuli grabbed her two front paws, stood her up, held her in his arms like a child, and asked her to face him. However, the cat turned around to look at Tom and Jerry.
"Xiao Ye, don't even pay attention to me." Feng Wuli said in a sad tone.
"We are watching TV."
"You don't even look at me."
"But I want to watch TV... you can hold me and I can touch you as much as you want," the little cat said.
Feng Wuli could only see the back of the cat's head in his arms. Ye Ji kept turning her head to look at the TV behind her, giving Feng Wuli the right to touch her as he pleased.
After gaining power, Feng Wuli lifted her chin with his fingers, squeezed her paws, and rubbed her belly. Ye Ji remained unmoved and concentrated on watching TV. She was already a useless cat addicted to TV.
After Feng Wuli had left for a while, Ye Ji found in vain that no one was holding her.
"Where did Wu Li go?" She looked at Po Nu, who was eating chestnuts and watching TV together.
Po Nu stood with one foot on the edge of the sofa. The soles of his feet were dirty because he was not wearing shoes. If Wang Xilou saw him, he would be scolded. At this time, he was holding a bag of chestnuts in one hand and peeling one. Eat one and hear the cat meowing next to you.
"Go downstairs early."….
"Well, then you can hold me."
"I won't hug you." Po Nu was speechless.
"I want someone to hold me and watch TV. If you hold me, I can let you touch me as you like."
"Who cares?" Po Nu ate a chestnut.
"Then I turn into a human form and let you hug me. Don't you like hugging me in my transformed form? You often touch me everywhere..."
"Slander? You are slandering!" Po Nu blushed, wondering what was going on with this cat.
"Meow?" Yeji couldn't understand what slander meant.
"Come here! I'll hold you."
"Do you want me to turn into a human form?"
"Need not!"
Yeji walked into Po Nu's arms with brisk cat steps.
Po Nu put the plastic bag down, holding the silly cat with one hand, taking out the chestnuts from the bag with one hand, and peeling off the skin with one hand. Although it was not unreasonably comfortable to hold it like this, Ye Ji didn't bother much.
"Feed me a little too."
"You don't like eating."
"How do you know that I don't like to eat, but you still feed me a little."
Po Nu was angry and peeled one off for her, but the cat bit it a little and said it was not delicious. She was very proud of herself for saying that she didn't like eating it, wiped the saliva on it and threw it into her mouth.
When Feng Wuli went downstairs, he originally planned to play on the computer, but he saw Wang Xilou getting ready to go out.
"Where to go?"
"Go to the West Market to buy groceries
,what? ” She put her hands on her hands and wore that ugly hat.
He usually comes back after six o'clock, but today he will come back after the exam. It's only half past four, which is when the little zombie goes out to buy groceries.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too."
"What are you going to do?"
"I couldn't find any fun during my vacation."
"Do you regard Master as your pleasure?" The little zombie wanted to put his hands on his hips, but his clothes were too thick and it was a bit difficult to do so.
"Let's go together."
"Wait, I haven't picked up the basket yet."
Feng Wuli watched the little zombie go into the backyard and get a vegetable basket made of bamboo strips. This thing was older than Feng Wuli. The handle on it, which was also made of bamboo strips, had long been broken. Wang Xilou gave it a red plastic rope. It was tied to both sides and came out with a rope.
"You don't have to wear so much, do you?"
"Save some spiritual energy for you, otherwise you will always have to recharge Master."
"The word charging feels weird."
"Hmph, come up quickly. Are you ready to go?" She pushed the motorcycle out.
This electric motorcycle requires a license before it can go on the road. The little zombie went to get a D license, but he didn't have one, so he sat in the back obediently.
Holding the little zombie's waist, the clothes are very thick, and you can't feel the girl's waist when you hold her up, but you can hold her full, and it feels like you are holding a little bear, full and full.
"Are you holding me firmly?"
"Stop dawdling." Feng Wuli felt a little disgusted.
"Huh?" Wang Xilou frowned handsomely: "Why are you talking to Master?"
"Hold tight."
"Call Master."
Feng Wuli rolled his eyes. There was no end to this little zombie's troubles. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He stretched out his neck and kissed her cold face.
Wang Xilou's frown deepened. He forced me to kiss my master in broad daylight. What's wrong with you, my disciple? Although I know you respect your master very much, I can't just kiss you! ….
Eh!
"Set off!"
She twisted and drove out of the old street. The cold wind howled and Wuli pressed his face to the back of her neck.
I can smell a very light fragrance, which is hard to describe. Feng Wuli has only smelled it on Wang Xilou, or it may be his own imagination.
The West Market is an old market. Feng Wuli and Wang Xilou came here to buy vegetables when they were very young. The nearest supermarkets have opened one after another. Most of the people who come to the market are elderly people. The ground is wet and there are all kinds of bad things. The smells are mixed together.
Wang Xilou parked the car, locked the car skillfully, took the vegetable basket, exhaled, and motioned for Feng Wuli to follow.
He walked next to the little zombie, found her hand, and interacted with the two hands. The little zombie wanted to interlock with him, but the clothes were too thick, so it was very difficult to hold her. Feng Wuli let go again, and she probably felt that the hold was too much. Because of the inconvenience, he took his hand back. Feng Wuli grabbed her hand again before she took it back, wrapping her entire cold little hand in his big hand.
The little movements below were not visible on the stage. She exhaled, white smoke came out, and blinked stupidly.
"Look, Master just finished breathing fire, and now he's breathing smoke."
"It's so childish."
Wang Xilou turned to look at him and said dissatisfiedly: "When you were a child, you competed with Master to see who could spit more smoke. How cute you were then."
Feng Wuli had a headache. It seemed like something was happening, but it seemed like it wasn't. He was a little annoyed that this little zombie, who was over 800 years old, had such a good memory.
"Why don't you go to the supermarket? I remember there was a Lejia supermarket outside the old street."
Wang Xilou laughed angrily: "You kid, you don't understand how expensive the food in the supermarket is. You can't bargain, you can't add green onions, you can't leave a small change, it's not fresh yet."
She thought for a while and then said: "But if you go to buy vegetables, don't go to the vegetable market. You don't understand the market. Master has seen young people coming to buy vegetables. As soon as they left, they heard the stall owners laughing at them, saying that these young people are not good enough." I know how to bargain, and even say thank you to them after I’ve cheated them.”
Feng Wuli was playing with her little hands very seriously. They were thin and smooth, and every finger was so cute. He pinched the pads of her fingers one by one and played with them.
Such small actions obviously disrespect the master, but Wang Xilou can't just pamper him.
"Then you can do the grocery shopping from now on." He spoke like a leader, with the tone that Xiao Wang would take responsibility from now on.
The little zombie looked up at him in surprise and said, "It sounds like you've been shopping for groceries."
Shopping for groceries is not something to be happy about, or in other words, it is not something that makes people emotionally shaken.
"Xiao Wang is so happy today. Where is your boyfriend? He's so handsome." The fish seller teased.
Only then did he realize that Wang Xilou was indeed smiling at the corners of his eyes.
She usually loves to laugh, but does Wang Xilou also laugh when he is shopping for groceries alone? Probably not. After all, anyone who wants to buy groceries is silly and cheerful, so Wang Xilou doesn’t smile all day long, but every time he sees her, this woman can’t help but laugh. Stop laughing and let him have the illusion that Wang Xilou is always smiling.
From the words of the fish seller, I learned that Wang Xilou seemed happier than usual today, just because he came to accompany her to buy groceries, something as simple as that.
"That fish seller has been selling fish here for more than ten years. Back then she asked who this little brother was, and just now she asked if you were my boyfriend." She smiled stupidly. ….
Feng Wuli squeezed her finger, a little speechless, looking at her cute face, he couldn't help but pinch it.
Wang Xilou immediately became unhappy and wanted to squeeze it back, but she was very angry because one hand was being held and the other was holding the vegetables.
She bought other vegetables one after another. When she bought tomatoes, she added two green onions. She happily followed the trend and shared her results, saying that the supermarket had to sell them two yuan more expensive, and they didn’t include green onions.
"awesome."
She frowned and spat: "Perfunctory."
"Master, you are so powerful."
Feng Wuli had just gone to the canteen and bought a bottle of yogurt, inserted a straw into it, and the vegetable basket was full. The little zombie was holding something in both hands, so he handed the yogurt to her mouth.
Wang Xilou took the first sip and licked the yogurt on his lips. This action was very charming.
"Eat Master's saliva."
Feng Wuli didn't care, biting the straw that the little zombie had just used.
"Wang Xilou, please carry me on your back. I'm tired of walking."
"Oh, find a rock in front of you and stand on it..."
She spoke naturally, but suddenly she realized that the little apprentice had grown up and could jump on her back without having to stand on a rock. In other words, he was not a child, so he had to be carried on her back.
I was so angry that I kicked him in the butt.
"Teasing Master again."
"I don't dare." Feng Wuli drank yogurt with an expressionless expression, and the two of them walked out of the market side by side.
"What are you afraid of? I found that you are very courageous."
"Not big."
"Are you still not brave enough? You bully Master all day long. If you are brave enough, you will not be able to go to heaven?"
"God will not do that."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Would you like to take a shower together tonight?"
"??"
"Save gas."
"Shut up!"
You asked yourself again.
