Chu Ye kept the photos well. In the remaining days, Mu Jiajun would come to the school gate to wait for her every morning with breakfast. After she finished eating, the two of them took a car to the city, and Mu Jiajun would meet Take her to watch movies, or go to the library for a long time. Sometimes the two of you will walk aimlessly on a road full of trees, and you won't feel awkward even if you don't talk.
After the National Day, Mu Jiajun reluctantly returned to school, and Chu Ye also regained his mood. His roommate Chen An returned to school as scheduled, and sure enough, he brought dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork, which made Chu Ye a feast.
As the days passed, Chu Ye's teaching style became more mature and steady, and English became the favorite subject of the third grade students. At the same time, her ability was also noticed by the teachers in the school. No one dared to underestimate this. Beautiful young girl.
Autumn turned to winter, and when the first snowflakes fell this year, the school ushered in the winter vacation. Chu Ye packed his luggage and saw Mu Jiajun who had been waiting for a long time at the school gate.
Originally, Mu Jiajun wanted to take Chu Ye home during the Chinese New Year. He thought that since he had sent photos of the two of them home to show to his parents, it was just right to bring his partner home now. Moreover, Chu Ye has cut off contact with her family. She can still stay at school during short holidays, but not during summer and winter vacations. As a result, she has no place to go.
But when he made this suggestion, Chu Ye thought about it and refused, and quickly used his salary to rent a house in the town. The house was a large bungalow made of bricks, and Chu Ye rented one of them. , although it is not big, there is a well and an iron pot in the yard, making it very convenient to live in.
The landlord is an old couple. After finding out that Chu Ye is a teacher in the town and has a good teacher-student relationship, they have a little more trust in her. After paying the rent, the landlord and the landlord handed her the key. I went to my children’s home to celebrate the New Year.
The students in the school had already left the day before, but they, the teachers, had to stay in school to correct the test papers. Everyone was eager to go home, and every one of their subordinates wished they could smoke, so they finally finished all their work this afternoon.
When Chu Ye came out, Mu Jiajun had been waiting for who knows how long. There were some fine white snowflakes falling on his shoulders and head. After seeing Chu Ye, he hurriedly came over and took over the luggage in her hand.
"You don't know where to find a place to hide from the snow?" Chu Ye reached out to help him sweep the snowflakes off his shoulders, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Aren't you afraid that I might see you when you come out? It's most convenient to stand here." Mu Jiajun explained with a smile.
"Look down, it's on your hair too."
Mu Jiajun did as he was told, Chu Ye's hand gently swept his hair, and little bits of white snow fell in front of his eyes.
"Hey, look at how sweet you two are. What should we do if we don't have a partner?" The teasing laughter sounded from the school gate. The two turned their heads and saw Chen An and others coming out with their luggage. At this time, their eyes were full of banter. He looked at the two of them.
Chu Ye's hands froze, and several people across from him laughed. Chen An walked over first and made a "tsk, tsk" sound, "You two are not kind, we have seen it with so many pairs of eyes, don't you two express your gratitude? ”
"That's right, you can't always let us watch your show, our eyes will hurt."
"Hahaha, that's right."
Several people behind him spoke one after another. After spending half a year together, they had a deep affection for each other, and their words were no longer as reserved as when they first arrived.
"Okay. Now everyone is anxious to go home for the New Year. When you come back, I will treat you to dinner." Mu Jiajun was not a stingy person, so he agreed directly, causing everyone to shout that Brother Mu was righteous.
Everyone chatted a little more, and when the car arrived, they each carried their luggage and went home. After Chen An got in the car, he opened the car window and waved to Chu Ye with a smile, "I'll leave first, please wait a little longer, I guess the car will Arriving soon ”
Chu Ye smiled and waved and nodded. They went home in different directions. Chen An only thought that Chu Ye had not waited for the car yet, but he did not know that she was only at the door to send everyone away.
She didn't tell anyone at school about the things that happened in her family. After all, it wouldn't be very glamorous if she told them.
After they were all sent away, Chu Ye and Mu Jiajun came to the place where they rented a house. The landlord had left here a few days ago. Now there was a thin layer of snow in the empty courtyard. Mu Jiajun took his luggage. After entering the house, I checked inside and outside the house again to make sure there was no water or air leakage. Then I pressed the light switch and made a clicking sound to confirm again that there was no problem with the lighting.
"Why is your bed so hard? Can you sleep well? Is your mattress thick enough? Will it be cold when you sleep at night? Is it okay for you to live here?" Mu Jiajun then checked the corners of the wall to see if there was any moisture or peeling skin. I wonder if there are any insects or ants in the box or cupboard. I press the bed board uneasily and keep mumbling.
"Don't worry, I already inspected the house when I rented it. The landlord and his wife worked in the government when they were young, and they are very respectable in their old age. The house is in good hygiene. Even before I paid the rent, the landlord and his wife He also cleaned the house specially. "Chu Ye stood aside and felt funny when he saw him running around like a headless fly.
"I'm really worried about whether you can live well here? Actually, it's okay for you to come to my house. There are so many rooms in my house that I can't even fill them all. If you go there, I can still see you every day. When the Chinese New Year comes, you won't be alone. "Mu Jiajun said, his voice getting lower and lower. He knew what Chu Ye was insisting on. Finally, he sighed helplessly, unpacked his luggage and made a bed for Chu Ye.
Chu Ye wanted to help but was not allowed. He was ordered to rest aside. When Mu Jiajun made the bed, he cleaned the house again. Not only that, he also cleared the thin snow at the door. "It's just a little bit of snow, it's okay to keep it." Chu Ye looked at his cautious movements and just felt like laughing.
"That won't work. What if you accidentally fall when you go out? You're the only one in this yard, and no one will help you if something happens." That's what he said, but in the next few days, he would keep it honest. Here, he consciously went to the hotel to sleep at night. Tian stayed in this small courtyard and took Chu Ye to the town to buy meat, vegetables and eggs. Not only that, the two of them also ran to the city. Mu Jiajun kept complaining that her clothes were not thick enough and dragged her to the city. I went to a department store and bought everything neatly from top to bottom.
Chu Ye didn't want to spend his money and wanted to refuse. The man took out his wallet with a big wave of his hand and paid the bill with a few swipes. Seeing this, Chu Ye fell silent. She silently took out her salary and paid for it. Mu Jiajun bought a high-quality cashmere sweater, which cost her almost two months' salary.
Mu Jiajun was so happy that he wanted to hug Chu Ye and be intimate with him in the crowd. He tried his best to control himself, so much so that he looked crazy. He was obviously a kid from a rich family, but now he looked like a fool, which annoyed everyone around him. The guests didn't even realize they were farther away from the two of them.
When they got back to the car, he still held the clothes tightly in his arms. Chu Ye just felt funny, "Your usual clothes are not necessarily cheaper than this, why are you still looking so stupid?"
"You don't understand. This is the first piece of clothing you bought for me. Of course I am happy. Not only am I happy today, but I will still be happy when I think of this in thirty years." Mu Jiajun smiled brightly , the passion in his eyes felt burning even in winter, Chu Ye turned his head away embarrassedly, at this moment, his left hand seemed to be touched by something, and then, a big hand locked her palm firmly, holding both hands, with ten fingers Intertwined.
Chu Ye didn't dare to look at him anymore, and put his red cheeks close to the car glass, trying to dissipate the heat.
As the New Year approaches, the town becomes lively again. People prepare New Year's goods, buy new clothes, and tease their children to buy one or two small toys. These scenes are no different from Chu Ye's hometown town.
Perhaps it was due to the change in her mood that she didn't feel too sentimental during this happy family moment. It was probably because her family had brought her little joy even during the Chinese New Year. Now that she was independent, she felt relaxed everywhere.
Mu Jiajun stayed with her here for a few more days, but finally couldn't bear to go home as the Chinese New Year was approaching, so he stayed with Chu Ye for a while before reluctantly leaving.
And Chu Ye was not idle either. She found a good weather and got in the car to go back to the town. But this time she did not go home, but turned around and went to the department store.
As the New Year was approaching, the department store was busy. Chu Ye found the counter where the third sister was without any effort. After all, because of Chu Hua’s outstanding sales ability, she had been transferred to a conspicuous place by the leader early. Chu Ye finally squeezed through. The crowd found a place with few people to wait.
When there were a little less people, Chu Ye walked over to say hello. Chu Hua originally thought it was a customer buying something, but she raised her head with a smile on her face and said hello in a hoarse voice. When she saw clearly that it was Chu Ye, she happily No, and because there were customers around her at work, she stopped abruptly, bent over and took out a key from the counter, and asked her to go home and wait.
Chu Ye nodded in agreement. When he arrived at the third sister's house, only his niece Gao Gao was there. Gao Gao was originally drawing at the table. When he heard the door opened, he thought it was an adult coming back. He happily ran to the door to greet him. When he saw it was Chu Ye, he was stunned. For a moment, he shouted "Auntie!"
Chu Ye rubbed her head and talked to her for a while, then took out a wooden pony toy from the cloth bag, and also took out a pack of chocolate toffee and biscuits, coaxing the child to shout "Auntie" Long live! ”
In the evening, the third sister and the third brother-in-law both came home from get off work. They were both very tired, so they simply went to a state-owned restaurant to pack a few meals and put them on the plates, which was dinner for a few people.
After dinner, Chu Hua was curious about why she came suddenly. Chu Ye just said that he missed her and was happy. When Chu Hua asked how the family's New Year's goods were prepared, Chu Ye was evasive and said that they should prepare it. It was okay. Chu Hua had been working all day and was already very tired. She didn’t notice the evasion in her words at all. When she returned to her parents’ home to visit her relatives after the Chinese New Year and found out what had happened in the past six months, it would be a different scene. .
She still slept with Gao Xing at night. Early the next morning, Chu Hua still wanted to stay, but she refused because she had something to do at home. Chu Ye got on the bus back to school and returned to the small rented house.
On New Year's Eve, the snowflakes that had fallen all day and night disappeared in the early morning. As far as the eye could see, it was covered with silvery white. Chu Ye used a shovel to pile up the snowflakes in the yard, and then made a big ball and placed it on top, vaguely revealing the meaning of the snowflakes. Snowman look.
Today, Chu Ye was busy working non-stop. She rolled out the dough, mixed the fillings, and made more than forty dumplings. She made a dozen for herself and put the rest outside. It was freezing for a while. bad.
The continuous sound of firecrackers outside slowly turned into the laughter of children as night fell. Those children went out to pick up the barrels and encountered some scattered firecrackers that could still be lit. They laughed again, and then I don’t know who it was. After lighting the fire, with a "swish" sound, the firecracker exploded into another spark in the dark night.
Chu Ye went back to the house after dinner and read a few books with the light on. Just then, there was a knock on the door. She originally thought it was children playing on the street, but she didn't want to He paid attention, but unexpectedly the voice sounded again, three times in a leisurely manner.
This was not like a child knocking on the door. Chu Ye was suspicious, got up and walked to the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Mu Jiajun."
