Feast Of Flowers - Chapter 68

An elder sister who had never seen Pei Yan, after seeing Pei Yan’s appearance, repeatedly sighed: “This young man looks really energetic, no wonder…” She wanted to say, no wonder Qin sister introduced her boyfriend to Hua Jin, Was rejected by Huajin. But she didn’t say this yet, thinking that she would offend someone, she swallowed it back.

“This is a natural match.” Sister Qin pretended not to know what she was thinking, and hit Huajin with her elbow. “Hurry up and pick someone up and be stared at by them again. I’m afraid your boyfriend will be caught Their eyes frightened away.”

Hua Jin put down the half-peeled garlic, washed his hands in the basin, and walked to Pei Yan and said, “How can I buy so many things?”

“I helped you prepare a gift box for them.” Pei Yan pretended not to see other people’s eyes, and put the gift box he bought on the wooden table. The wooden table looked a bit old, but it was washed early in the morning. , Placed in the open space in front of the house, waiting to dry.

“It’s such a cold day, are your hands strangled?” Hua Jin grabbed his hand, broke his fingers and touched it, then generously pulled Pei Yan to greet the neighbors.

After the neighbors teased them in good faith, they asked Huajin to take Pei Yan to sit in the house for a while. It was windy outside.

“It’s okay, everyone is here, chatting together.” Pei Yan handed out the gift box to everyone, “Thank you for your usual care of Huahua.”

“You’re polite, it’s not a problem for neighbors to help each other out.” When Mrs. Chen saw Pei Yan driving a luxury car and wearing a high-end suit, she knew that his family must be extraordinary. She was happy that Huajin had found a good boyfriend. Worried that the rich would bother her and not be single-minded to her.

Everyone present was not familiar with Pei Yan, coupled with Pei Yan’s overall style, made everyone unconsciously polite, and the atmosphere at the scene was formal and embarrassing.

Seeing that everyone couldn’t let go, Hua Jin took Pei Yan to sit on the small stool beside him: “Come on, help me peel the garlic.”

Pei Yan looked at the small pot of garlic that had been soaked in water and had not yet peeled it, and peeled it up like a brocade.

“Have you stripped it before?” Hua Jin asked.

“Striped.” Pei Yan recalled carefully, “I used to go out on a picnic with friends when I was in college. I have stripped it a few times. It was very interesting.”

Flower brocade: “…”

“The hobbies of your rich people are quite special.”

“A harmonious society, where everyone is equal, and opposes discrimination against the rich.” Pei Yan put the peeled garlic into a bowl, “Be nice to your boyfriend.”

Hua Jin smiled and bumped Pei Yan with her shoulder, and the two leaned together, muttering something.

Sister Qin, who was sitting next to Huajin, saw that the young couple could peel off the garlic and can peel off their affection. She picked up her small bench and got up to get together with other neighbors.

“How is it?” The female neighbor saw Sister Qin coming over and asked her, “I think these two have a good relationship, can they really make it?”

“I think this Mr. Pei is very good with flowers, and he doesn’t show up as rich people in front of us. If it weren’t for the love of flowers, how could we do this?” Seeing that Sister Qin did not speak, the female neighbor continued. “Before, we were all thinking about when Huahua would find a boyfriend. I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be looking for it. She was a superb when she shot.”

“I can see what, I think the two are in a good relationship.” Sister Qin tidied up the dishes on the table, “Stop gossiping, are you ready for the sour radish to be put in the duck soup?”

“Oh, forgot.” The female neighbor stood up, “I’ll go to the sauerkraut jar at home to get some.”

Seeing her leaving, Sister Qin breathed a sigh of relief. She, a woman who had an unsuccessful marriage, really didn’t dare to say too much for fear of her crow’s mouth.

“Unexpectedly, there are so many people living in this building. It’s quite lively.” Everyone gathers to chat, cooks and washes vegetables together. This experience is novel for him.

“Everyone comes to the big city from the north to ask for a living, and it is relatively affluent to be able to rent outsiders here.” Hua Jin saw that Pei Yan was interested in peeling garlic, so he put a half pot of garlic in him. In front of him, he started to arrange the onion, “After this meal, I want to see each other again, it will be difficult.”

They are tenants, temporary neighbors, and getting together is fate. But each other is a passerby in this city, it is difficult to spend energy to get together again if you want to run for life.

Pei Yan might not understand such a state of life, but Hua Jin also didn’t want him to understand.

Pei Yan looked at her worriedly: “Are you sad?”

“Some reluctant, but people always have to go forward and look forward.” Hua Jin smiled, and skillfully handled the skin of the onion roots, leaving the white and tender roots. “For those who ask for life outside In other words, gathering and separation is the norm.”

“I am alone, and you are alone.” Pei Yan smiled, “But when we walk together, we become a home. From now on, you don’t need to be displaced, no matter where you go, the lights in your home will be on. Await your return.”

Hua Jin looked at him blankly, and suddenly smiled.

She was born without expectation, she clearly had a family, but she lived like an outsider. In fact, after her grandmother passed away, she had no home. She is Gao’s apprentice, and Aunt Gao treats her very well, but the apprentice is an apprentice and can never become a family member.

She is not afraid of being alone, but now someone tells her that she wants to form a family with her.

Not to give her a home, but to form a home with her.

“Okay.” Hua Jin smiled and bent his eyes, “If I can, I want to have a home with you.”

“When we finish eating, we will go home.” Pei Yan said happily, “Our room…”

“Wait.” Hua Jin interrupted him, “Before we got married, there was no room for us, only your room, and my room.”

“Oh…” Pei Yan slowed down with frantic peeling garlic hands.

At lunchtime, everyone brought the prepared food and wine to the table, and they ate beer, filling everyone with it. While pouring wine for Pei Yan, Hua Jin held down his cup, “Say not to pour him, don’t make trouble.”

“It’s okay, drink a little…” Before Pei Yan could finish her words, she was stopped by Hua Jin.

“What’s okay, if you drink too much, you will have skin allergies. You don’t know it yourself?” Hua Jin glared at him and said to the neighbor, “He will help me move things later and drive. I can drink alcohol. .”

“Driving and not drinking, you are right.” Hearing that Pei Yan was allergic to drinking, everyone did not fool around, skipped Pei Yan and continued to pour the next person.

Pei Yan glanced at the dazzling silently: “…”

When did he become allergic to drinking?

“Don’t talk.” Hua Jin glared at him and said in his ear, “You don’t usually drink, and you start drinking suddenly, which will hurt your brain.”

“I only drink a little bit.”

“Everyone gets together today. As long as you start to drink, you can’t just drink a little bit. If you are drunk, how can you take care of me.” Hua Jin said confidently, “Today is my home court, you just accompany me to dinner. ”

“Okay.” Pei Yan laughed, using chopsticks to put some dishes in her bowl, “Eat the vegetables first to cushion the stomach.”

He didn’t stop Huajin from letting her drink, he knew she wanted to drink today. The only thing he can do is to feed her two mouthfuls of vegetables and a few mouthfuls of soup from time to time.

“My hometown is in the north. I saved up money and bought a house in the county town in the first two years. I can’t live for a few days all year round. However, with a house, my baby is studying in the city, and his classmates ask him where he can raise his head.” After a few cups of wine, everyone’s chat box opened, “I have been working hard outside for so many years, isn’t it just to make the young and old live a good life?” The talking man wiped his face, “Come, take a drink.”

When it comes to the elderly and children in the family, the neighbors all have something to say, and it is very lively. Sister Qin wants to take care of the children, so she didn’t drink. He tilted his head and glanced at his son sitting next to him, and scooped him a bowl of soup. Xiao Hai sipped the soup and gave her a chicken wing, “Mom, you eat too.”

Sister Qin smiled, watching Pei Yan who was sitting across from her shaving Huajin a fishbone, the smile became more obvious.

Huajin doesn’t drink much, so the amount of alcohol is not very good. After a few glasses of beer, my cheeks became red. She opened her mouth to eat what Pei Yan had fed to her lips, and smiled brightly at Pei Yan, her eyes shining like stars.

Pei Yan couldn’t help but squeezed her cheek: “Drunk?”

Shaking his dizzy head, Hua Jin smiled: “I’m awake.”

“Yeah, you are very awake.” Pei Yan fed the soup bowl to Hua Jin’s mouth, “take a sip.”

Huajin drink it obediently.

How can I be so obedient, I’m obviously drunk.

“There is a saying that people are not intoxicated by alcohol.” Hua Jin wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, “Pei Yan, I am… happy today.”

Although there was parting and reluctance, she still had an uncontrollable joy.

“Hua Jin, I wish you a hundred years of good relationship with Mr. Pei, and happiness.” A female neighbor raised her glass and looked at Hua Jin and Pei Yan and said, “When I first moved in, I was not familiar with this place. Take me. Go shopping, take me to go shopping, I was sick and unconscious, but you found that I was wrong and called an ambulance for me. I really appreciate you.”

“Upstairs and downstairs, don’t need to say these kind words.” Hua Jin clinked glasses with the female neighbor and drank the wine in the glass. “When I was sick, didn’t you accompany me to the hospital to pay for the medicine? ”

“Yeah, working hard outside, it is my luck to meet your neighbors.” The female neighbor filled her wine glass and toasted everyone.

“From now on, everyone will take care of your health. You can’t make money, but you have to live your life well.”

“Cheers!”

“dry.”

After drinking a cup of wine, Hua Jin’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and when the wine was exhausted, everyone present was half drunk. Pei Yan held Hua Jin’s shoulders and listened to everyone’s drunken talk, gently helping her clean the corners of her mouth.

The banquet was over, but no one spoke first.

Finally, the eldest old lady Chen sighed, glanced over everyone, and whispered: “It’s all gone.”

No one spoke.

“I made some seasoning sauce for everyone, and everyone took a bottle back to eat.” Old lady Chen stood up and knocked on her shoulder, “Go, let’s all go.”

The first to leave was a couple who had lived here for half a year. One after another, someone stood up and started to go back to their house to pack their things.

When Pei Yan picked up Huajin and was about to send her back to the room, she was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged woman.

“Mr. Pei.” Sister Qin walked to Pei Yan and seemed to have a lot to say. She stared at the two for a while, and then uttered a few words, “Take care of her.”

“I will.” Pei Yan nodded.

“Then, goodbye.” Sister Qin led Xiaohai, “Xiaohai, say goodbye to Sister Huajin.”

Hua Jin opened her eyes, her mind was dizzy, and when she spoke, she lost her usual sense and scruples: “Sister Qin, take good care of Xiaohai, he is a good boy.”

“I know.” Sister Qin smiled, “You also have to take care of yourself.”

Huajin touched Xiaohai’s head: “With such a good head, he must be a smart kid. Don’t worry about anything in the future. The most important thing for children and their parents is not to be angry, but to communicate.”

Xiao Hai whispered: “Sister Hua Jin, I can’t bear you.”

“Now that communication is so developed, you can meet whenever you want.” Hua Jin smiled, “Take care of yourself, take care of your mother.”

“Yeah!” Xiao Hai nodded heavily.

Pei Yan held the Huajin upstairs and found that Huajin had already put things away. Several large boxes were neatly placed in the corner, and the whole room was empty.

“Are you leaving now?” Pei Yan helped her sit down in a chair, “Is there anything left?”

Hua Jin shook his head, reached out and hugged his waist without speaking.

“Then I will ask someone to move things up, and I will take you down. Do you want to say goodbye to the neighbors, and their contact information, do you have it?” Pei Yan was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, and patted her gently. Back.

“No, those of us who are outside discussing life will meet a lot of people when we come and go. After we are separated, even if we have contact information, we won’t contact us often.” Hua Jin sighed, “Fortunately I have it now. You, or you will be sad.”

When you have too little, losing a little bit will feel painful. But now she has a complete love, and when facing parting, she also becomes relieved.

“Then do you want me to hold you down, or carry you down?” Pei Yan took the opportunity to rub her hair.

“There are children in the building. It would be embarrassing to hold it down. You carry me.” Hua Jin said in a vague voice, “When it rained in elementary school, other students have their parents to pick them up. The road after the rain is muddy and difficult, and many preschools There are also parents of students who are one or two years old, they will carry their children and walk.”

“But I have not been memorized once.” Hua Jin pouted, “None.”

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, Pei Yan bent down and carefully carried Huajin on his body, whispering: “Hua Xiaozhu, you are really heavy.”

“I’m not sinking, because I ate too much at noon.” Hua Jin put his arms around Pei Yan’s neck, “You should exercise.”

“Okay, I’m going to exercise. When I fight for the seven and eighties, I can still move you on my back.” Pei Yan walked out of the room with her on his back, and met the assistants who had caught up.

“Mr. Pei…” The assistant looked at Pei Yan, who was in a neat suit, carrying his girlfriend on his back, and was stunned.

“Everything is in the house, let’s move on.” Pretending not to see the surprised eyes of the assistants, Pei Yan walked downstairs carrying the flower brocade.

Hua Jin was already very drunk, but she was so clear in her heart that she knew who was carrying her. Reaching out to cover his neck, Hua Jin leaned up safely.

“Mr. Pei.” The old lady Chen waiting on the second floor aisle saw Pei Yan carrying a brocade down, “Your car is parked there. I’ll take you there.”

“There are some sauces and medicinal wine in it. Xiaohua has a bad knee. When it rains, wipe it with this medicinal wine and it will feel better.” Old lady Chen followed Pei Yan and talked about small things.

Walking downstairs and meeting an assistant waiting downstairs, Old Lady Chen gave him the things.

Pei Yan stopped and said to Mrs. Chen: “Thank you for taking care of Huahua. Take care of yourself and goodbye.”

“You have to be good.” Old lady Chen wiped the corners of her eyes, “Don’t let her down, this child is not easy.”

Pei Yan nodded, carrying the person on his back, step by step, and left the dilapidated old building very firmly.

The author has something to say: Pei Yan: What I am carrying is my heart, what I am carrying is my liver, and what I am carrying is three-quarters of my life.
