Lianzhou

Chapter 8

Early on Saturday morning, Yan Yan opened the door and looked at Yu Lichu who was standing at the door with a 28-inch suitcase leisurely playing with his mobile phone, thinking that he might not have woken up yet.

Yan Yan scratched his forehead: "You..."

Yu Lichu put down his hand, and glanced over with half-opened eyes, all eyes were full of course: "I will be the tenant."

"I…"

"Single and living alone, the house is space-walking, and there are echoes, renting it to me can earn extra money. I can take care of myself, have no bad habits, can share housework, and have a mild temper. Once either party has a stable relationship, I will be self-conscious. Take the initiative to move out." At the end of Yu Lichu's words, he turned his head and lifted the handle of the suitcase, "So you really don't want to think about it, brother?"

"Come in." Yan Yan stepped aside resolutely and without temper.

"Just this little luggage?" Yan Yan stepped in and opened the door of the empty room, "You can live in this room."

"The rest are medical books, autumn and winter clothes, and some odds and ends. I'll send them by courier." Yu Lichu carried the suitcase to the room and arranged it. He got up and looked around the layout of the room. Yan Yan furnished the guest room, but the equipment was very complete and the decoration was done with care. The style was exactly the same as Yan Yan's bookstore, so it was probably originally intended to be rented out.

Yan Yan saw that he had put his suitcase away, so he took him around the house: "There are two bathrooms, one outside, and one in my room, both of which are equipped with a shower. Use the outside one for you. I'll use the one in the room, here It's the kitchen, where we usually have a lot of meetings, and everything is quite complete—do you know how to cook?" After speaking, he turned to look at Yu Lichu.

Yu Lichu nodded with his coat pocket in his hand: "Yes." Probably for the convenience of carrying things, today he is wearing a white sports windbreaker, making him look younger.

Yan Yan asked very casually: "How to solve the usual three meals?"

"I usually do it by myself at night, and eat at the cafeteria at noon. I don't like to eat outside. It's an occupational disease."

Yan Yan nodded in agreement: "Then let's get together, we can solve it separately in the morning and lunch, we can have dinner together, and we will let each other know if there are activities, do you have any opinions?"

Yu Lichu shrugged his shoulders, which means I have no objection, and I will do as you say.

Yan Yan thought of something, stepped into the room next to the bedroom, took out something after a while, raised his hand and handed it to Yu Lichu: "A spare key." Turning his head and pointing to the room just now, "This is the key." Study room, when your book arrives, you can put it in the bookcase."

Yu Lichu stood aside and listened, nodding his head from time to time, and asked at the end of the day, "How much is the rent? I'll pay for half a year first."

Yan Yan looked at him for a few seconds, and was not in a hurry to quote, but paused for a while before saying: "Why do you suddenly want to rent my house? Is there something wrong with the original house?"

Yu Lichu didn't seem to care much, and explained: "It's nothing. The original landlord will take the house back next year and renovate it as a wedding room for his son. I was supposed to get married for half a year at a time, which happens to be at the end of this month. My landlord feels disrespectful to me. live, I refunded my money for this month, since I didn't spend too much money, I moved out earlier."

Yan Yan nodded thoughtfully: "There's no rush for the rent, you live here first, we'll work together, if you think you can continue to live, I'll give you a friendly price."

Yu Lichu didn't refuse, the corners of his mouth and the tails of his eyes raised together, and he smiled a bit more energetically: "Have a good time getting in."

Yu Lichu doesn't go to work on weekends, he packs his luggage at home and waits for the courier to deliver things, but the bookstore on Saturdays is a little bit busy. Generally speaking, when Yan opens the door at nine o'clock, many people enter the store to choose Books, the bibliography in the store is small and unpopular, but numerous and miscellaneous, unexpectedly very popular, most books that cannot be found in chain bookstores can be found here, if you can't find it, report the title to Yan Yan, Yan Yan Most of the time, Yan can also help to search for it, which naturally attracts many reading lovers.

Usually there are a lot of students who come to visit on weekends, but today there are very few. Yan Yan was happy to have a leisurely time. He pinned a dog's tail grass and a green arrow to the guitar, and created a brand-new character set of a fool who would flirt with a girl when he met a girl. He seemed very satisfied. Standing in front of the guitar and admiring it intoxicated for a while, then turned around and made a cup of tea, picked up the Rubik's Cube from home, sat on the sofa and twisted it quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and Yan Yan went out to finish his lunch. After returning to the bookstore, he continued to twist the Rubik's Cube paralyzed by Ge You. The mind is in a relaxed state, and it appears to be more distracted.

Following the soft knock of the store door, Yan Yanxun raised his head, but he was an acquaintance.

The person who came was a young man with short hair and vigorous facial features. Although he was not particularly tall, he was tall and straight.

Yan Yan smiled and said, "Why are you here?" Although he said so, his body didn't move, and the Rubik's Cube in his hand didn't stop. It was obvious that the relationship was very close, and he didn't stick to formalities.

Mo Ning looked at him with a bit of hatred for iron and steel: "You use it to twist the Rubik's cube in good times, are you worthy of the cultivation of the party and the country!"

Yan Yan blinked, showing some cunning in his eyes: "Isn't it true that I live up to the cultivation of the party and the country? My flexibility in training hands."

Mo Ning was stunned, then smiled again: "Nonsense, what kind of practice is your Rubik's Cube?" Then he didn't give Yan Yan a chance to refute, and directly changed the subject, "The last time I went to the hospital, you and Lu How is the teacher talking? Are you ready to come back?"

When the words fell, the corners of Yan Yan's upturned mouth stopped but did not close, and finally remained at a low level, but his eyes were profound and straightforward, quite a kind of vicissitudes experienced in the world, belonging to the kind of calmness after nostalgia, calm but not too much How angry, he looked straight over, paused for a while: "I won't return."

"The rest of your ambitions, you can carry them on your back for me."

In fact, Mo Ning had expected such a result long ago, so he still couldn't help sighing, but he didn't pause for a few seconds, and immediately changed his look of relaxation, he raised a small bag of things in his hand, and said like offering a treasure : "Look what I brought you."

Yan Yan took it and opened it: "Youth League?"

Mo Ning nodded: "Today is Ching Ming, I will bring you something suitable for the occasion. I even forgot about the days after I resigned."

Yan Yan frowned, and the expression on the moment he heard the word "Qingming" was very good-looking, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "People sweep the tomb in Qingming, you come to see me in Qingming, you really miss me."

Mo Ning raised his hands carelessly and cried out: "Aren't I busy? You also know about Corey's situation. You have to watch the phone to sleep at night. You resigned again. The vacancy was not filled. Don't try to exploit us." ."

Just as Yan Yan was about to answer the conversation, there was another soft knock on the store door. Yan Yan glanced at the door, but saw that the person who came was his new roommate.

As soon as Yu Lichu came in, he didn't look at people, but went straight to look at the guitar at the door. When he caught sight of the green arrow, he raised his brows, turned his head and joked, "Make friends?"

Yan Yan whistled at Yu Lichu: "Isn't that right, seeing how handsome you are, I promise you."

Mo Ning spoke up in disdain: "Wearing a green arrow on Ching Ming Festival, you are not afraid to invite a female ghost over."

Yan Yan raised his foot to kick: "Get out!"

Yu Lichu looked at Mo Ning, and Yan Yan took the opportunity to introduce him: "My friend, Mo Ning, this person's name is very easy to remember, the literal translation is Mo Ning, hiss—what an upright name, but it doesn't sound like a good person. "

Mo Ning raised his hand to hit him, but Yan Yan pretended to hide: "He and I are in the same class, and the tutor is the same, and now he is also affiliated with N University." After a pause, he continued, "Heart surgery."

Yu Lichu nodded, not surprised: "I know, I have an impression of this face, I saw it in school."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Yan's face turned unsightly, and he could even be called aggrieved: "You remember that he doesn't even remember me, I have grown so much."

Yu Lichu really couldn't find a chance on this topic, so he could only tell the truth as carefully as possible: "Your face is quite eye-catching. If I don't remember it, I probably haven't seen you before."

Yan Yan's expression didn't soften, it seemed that he was determined to set up the wronged person to the end, and his eyes looked at Yu Lichu as if he was talking about you, a heartless and heartless man: "Who said I haven't seen it before!"

Yu Lichu scratched his nose, glanced around and began to change the subject: "There aren't many guests today, are you going to sweep the grave?" Then he turned his head to look at Mo Ning, and handed over a business card with both hands, "Hello, I am My name is Yu Lichu, two years younger than you, and now I am in charge of MR in the Radiology Department, if you have any diagnostic problems, you can contact me, and I will try my best to help."

Mo Ning smiled and nodded repeatedly, snatched the bag from Yan Yan's hand and handed it to Yu Lichu: "We are all alumni, we can help each other in the future, come, this is the youth group I brought, it tastes very good , It's too wasteful to feed Yan Yan, you take more."

Yu Lichu didn't refuse much, just said: "It's okay, just put it in the bag, I'm renting at his house now, it's the same for me and him."

After hearing this, Mo Ning turned her head and said in surprise: "Really, you are so difficult to serve and there is still someone willing to live with you?"

Yan Yan was already so irritated that he couldn't get angry. He picked up the cup and went to the cooking counter, and then shouted in a protest: "I don't have your share today, go drink the wind!"

Mo Ning shook his head indifferently, then remembered something, patted his head and said: "By the way, N University's centennial celebration at the end of April, are you going back?"

Yu Lichu took out his mobile phone and called up the calendar: "I remember that the date is the 26th, which happens to be Sunday. If there is no emergency in the hospital, I will rest." After speaking, he turned to look at Yan Yan, "Of course you are fine. , How about, go back and have a look?"

Yan Yan squinted his eyes, and said in a strange way: "Yes, self-employed people like me are naturally no better than you staffs of public institutions. You are so busy all day long, and I am so idle all day long, doing nothing." After launching a personal attack on him, Ning continued, "Okay, I haven't been back for a long time, and the magnolia in the school was probably almost in bloom then."

Mo Ning patted Yan Yan on the shoulder: "I probably won't be able to move away, so you can take more photos for me, or if you like, you can pay my respects to the main entrance three times for me. "

Yan Yan lifted Mo Ning's hand off: "Don't, you can go to worship on your own some other day, don't worry, your alma mater, who understands righteousness, will understand that you still stick to it on her old man's centenary birthday as a white-clothed angel who saves lives and heals the wounded." The excellent sacrifice spirit of the post, it seems that you are not sincere, and it is not my fault to send a thunderbolt to strike you."

Yu Lichu didn't talk to each other, just focused on watching them fight each other. In the end, Mo Ning was the first to lose, saying that the hospital still had something to do and then he left. The arrow was taken off and chewed in his mouth.

Yan Yan glanced at him, then stabbed with a smile: "You really are not idle, grabbing things with Guitar."

Yu Lichu didn't blush even when he was stabbed, and asked an unexpected question: "You used to be a cardiologist?"

Yan Yan pretended not to notice the temptation in his words, and said nonsense heartlessly: "Yeah, I have worked for more than four years, and I don't have much hair in general, and it falls out one by one, and some of them are not cured. The risk of going in, as you saw my friend just now, he is only in his early thirties, and his top is already white. Self-knowledge, without that kind of physical capital, it is better to stop the loss as soon as possible."

Yu Lichu heard his avoidance, so he stopped talking in good time, and turned to chatting about other things calmly.

The clock on the wall quickly pointed to 06:30, Yan Yan closed the bookstore, turned the key and walked up the long steps with Yu Lichu, then turned his head and asked as if thinking of something: "There are some fresh vegetables in the refrigerator at home, I will Go to the supermarket to buy some meat, is there any taboo? Do you want to eat ribs?"

Yu Lichu shrugged: "I don't have any taboos, you can buy it as usual, I'll go back and cook the rice first."

After speaking, the two parted ways at the intersection, and when Yan Yan entered the house carrying the ribs, there was a roar of the range hood in the kitchen, he looked at the pair of shoes neatly placed in the entrance, and was a little dazed for a moment.

When he entered the kitchen, he found that the vegetables had been washed and cut and put aside. Yan Yan looked at them and saw that from left to right were peeled garlic, small pieces of pepper, shredded lettuce, fungus, chicken feathers and shiitake mushrooms. It's kind of obsessive-compulsive.The red light of the rice cooker was on, and white steam was constantly emitting from the vent.

"I'll start the fire when you come back. Come on ribs. I'll fry two vegetables. Keep it simple. Do you want peppers on the lettuce?"

Yan Yan took the ribs out of the bag and soaked them in water twice, then put on the tipboard specially used for meat dishes and began to cut them: "Put some in."

Yu Lichu gave up half of the gas stove, took a new frying pan while the vegetables were being stir-fried, went to the sink, filled it with water, put it on the other stove and lit it.After Yan Yan cut the pork ribs, he chopped some ginger slices. When the pork ribs were blanched, they went down together to remove the fishy smell. After the ribs turned white, they picked up the drained water, cleaned the pot, poured a little oil, added the pork ribs and stir-fried. Yu Lichu was frying at this time. After finishing the fungus lettuce, I washed the shovel and passed it to Yan Yan to fry the ribs. Before the ribs turned yellow, Yu Lichu adjusted the seasoning on the side. While the fire was simmering, the spatula was returned to Yu Lichu's hands after being washed by Yan Yan.

The two of them interspersed and cooperated tacitly in the kitchen, not as if they rented together on the first day, but as if they had lived together for many years.

Yu Lichu was frying chicken feathers. Because he was too tall, the orange light from the range hood only hit his chin: "It seems that I need to buy an extra shovel and an apron."

Yan Yan leaned back against the cooking table, took a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks basket, took a mouthful of shredded lettuce, chewed it twice and commented: "Not bad, very refreshing."

Yu Lichu turned down the fire and prepared to serve the dishes. He turned his head and asked in the spare time, "How about the saltiness? When you go out and go to restaurants, the taste is too heavy. When you cook by yourself, you always have some occupational diseases. Those with less salt and less oil usually look for food. It’s still a little difficult to get a pair.”

The rice cooker beeped, and it jumped from a red light to an orange light for heat preservation. Yan Yan put down his chopsticks and turned around to press the buttons. He smiled and said softly, "No, the taste is just right."

The pork ribs simmered for more than 20 minutes and began to collect the juice. When the fire was turned off and served, there was a rich sweet and greasy smell, and the color was bright red.

When it was brought to the table, there were two bowls of rice steaming on the table, and the two pairs of chopsticks were placed quietly facing each other. Yan Yan paused for a moment, then pulled away the chair and sat down.

Yu Lichu opened two cans of soda water and handed them to Yan Yan. His slightly curly bangs fluctuated with his movements. He held up the soda water and looked into Yan Yan's eyes without any hesitation. : "In various senses, starting today, I'm disturbed."

Yan Yan looked back at him through the thin mist, lowered his eyes and turned the can in his hand, then pursed his lips and raised the corners of his lips, but his tone was calm and sonorous: "No."

Two cans of soda collided and quickly separated, Yan Yan thought, this life has been in a hurry for 30 years, the first 16 years were dependent on parents, the last eight years were away from home to study, and the dream came to an end in five years. Have a home now.

He is very satisfied, if the other party is the same.
