Chapter 345: Can’t Eat Melon Seeds

why?
Ye Wenjun said nothing.

She raised her head and glanced at the small red brick house. The huge stove takes up 30% of the space, and the most conspicuous thing is the chimney supporting the roof. There is a faded wardrobe in the corner and a bed that creaks when you turn over it.

In addition, the ground is bumpy and uneven. The dark woodshed, and the smell of oil smoke that seemed impossible to wipe away.

She remembers.

Every time I came back in the past, when it got dark, I would hide under the quilt. It was as if there was a monster hidden in the dark night outside. The monster that took away everyone around him seemed to jump out and snatch him away at any time.

How many nights did she wrap herself in the quilt, suffering every minute and every second, looking forward to dawn early.

But later, she was no longer afraid.

This small room has become the warmest and most anticipated place for me. Even the foot-washing tub under my feet is filled with happiness.

"I always feel that the houses in the city are too big and too deserted..."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Gu Yuan. Her body suddenly stiffened because Gu Yuan was looking at her quietly.

Ye Wenjun's voice has always been very soft, giving people a gentle and watery feeling. Even if you are angry, if you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear the change in tone. But these words, the voice was obviously lowered, as if it was written with reluctance.

When mentioning these things, Ye Wenjun was not as depressed as before. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Can these be grown in the city?"

The orange light poured down, making her raised face look more delicate, and she would fall into it if she took one more look at it.

Ye Wenjun's voice became nervous again.

Ye Wenjun really didn't notice this, and asked curiously: "Can it also be served in that kind of dish?"

Of course, this kind of problem is also quite easy to solve, that is, to stimulate the other party's fantasy about the future.

"You can also plant a pomegranate tree in the backyard. I actually like eating mulberry fruits, but planting mulberry trees in the yard is not a good idea. The older generation takes this matter very seriously. If you like to eat persimmons, we can also plant them in the yard. Plant a persimmon tree."

"Desolate, no?"

really.

'You think you gave her the whole world, but actually you are his whole world! '

Gu Yuan smiled, picked up a promotional picture of the villa, and pointed to the garden in front, "Look at how big the open space is outside. You can even have a small vegetable garden. You can also plant a few grapes in the back. In the summer, there will be free The grapes were eaten.”

Leaving the place where she was born and raised, she settled down in another strange city. There is both uneasiness about the unknown and reluctance to let go of the past. And leaving here to settle down in the city means cutting off the memories of the past.

“Is there anyone else doing that kind of thing?”

Gu Yuan smiled and glanced at the footbath. The weather was a bit cold, so Ye Wenjun would soak his feet in the water as much as possible, even to the point where the insteps of his feet were exposed. This scene reminded Gu Yuan of something:

Ye Wenjun's thoughts are also easy to understand.

Gu Yuan grinned: "Can't you just plant whatever you want in your yard? As long as you don't plant vegetables in the park or in the flower bed, that's fine."

"no!"

"Haven't you seen the flower beds along the market? Those jars are all filled with vegetables, onions, garlic..."

"Why not?"

"Are you angry?"

"Of course not." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

People from the street office often buy things at his house, and sometimes they sit down and chat for a while. Sometimes they even ask Gu Yuan to write a few words on the bulletin board of the street office, so he knows more about these things:
"Those old ladies were fighting guerrilla warfare with the people from the street office. The people from the street office dug up the ground in front of them, and they planted it again. One old lady was even more powerful. She directly circled a piece of land in the park and cut down the trees. The ground was plowed, and when the street office found out, she scattered all the rapeseed and put up a fence around it. "

"What then?"

Ye Wenjun smiled from ear to ear.

Gu Yuan said with a smile, "The old lady lay down on the ground, and no one could do anything. Finally, she notified the other party's son to come and pick up the people and restore the park to its original state. The old lady refused to admit defeat, and later went to another park to open up wasteland. Her son Almost collapsed."

Then, after the two of them talked about the yard deployment, they talked about the room deployment.

The living room, shoe rack, and TV really feel like imagining the future. In his previous life, Gu Yuan had always been afraid of these things. He had gone on several blind dates, and every blind date he met was more unreliable than the last. Later, I even felt that living alone was even more comfortable than two people together.

Unexpectedly, while talking about this, he began to look forward to it.

"It's best to install heating at home, otherwise the winter will be too difficult."

For now, Hui Province does not provide this service. Even in more than ten years, there will only be heating in a few residential areas.

"As for the kitchen..."

Gu Yuan teased Ye Wenjun: "There is no need to install a gas stove. We can just build an earth stove. In winter, we can pick up some branches from the community and burn them. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can save a lot of natural gas. The ash produced by burning can also be used for Fertilize and grow vegetables.”

Ye Wenjun really believed it: "This is okay!"

"This is just for fun."

Gu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Sometimes, it's not that what a man says is too true, but that the other person is willing to trust you unconditionally.

……

The next morning, Ye Wenjun got up early and started cooking breakfast. After Gu Yuan made the bed and folded the quilt, he picked up the teapot and stood at the door brushing his teeth. Ye Wenjun also stood aside and gargled.

Two bowls of sweet potato porridge and a plate of salted cowpeas.

After eating, he was worried about Gu Yuanleng, so he lit a fire in the house. The tabby cat that had been hiding behind the stove all night also walked around. After circling around the two people's feet, Gu Yuan took off his shoes and gently rubbed the cat's back with his feet. Instead of hiding, the tabby cat lay there comfortably.

If it were replaced by children running all over the floor, it would really look like a small home.

The city has city conveniences.

Rural areas also have rural benefits.

At least, after arriving in the city, it was no longer possible to keep a fire like this, and even coal stoves were gradually eliminated.

Gu Yuan rubbed the cat with his feet while chewing melon seeds. The melon seed shells puffed into the fire, and a cloud of white smoke quickly rose up, turning it into pitch black in the blink of an eye. Ye Wenjun was lying on the side reviewing her homework. Whenever she heard the sound of Gu Yuan cracking melon seeds, she would hand him a handful:
"Here, here you go."

Gu Yuan was having fun when he saw it and shook his head, "I don't eat salted melon seeds. Where are the sunflower seeds?"

"I'm done eating." Ye Wenjun rummaged through his luggage, "I'll buy it for you."

"Forget it, salted melon seeds will do."

Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand.

Traveling more than ten miles just to buy sunflower seeds?

Ye Wenjun nodded.

But after a while, he didn't hear the sound of Gu Yuan spitting out the shells. He raised his head in confusion and saw Gu Yuanzheng throwing handfuls of salty melon seeds into his mouth and chewing them loudly. After swallowing the pieces, eat another small handful, and then repeat the process:
"You eat salted melon seeds without spitting out the shells?"

"Uh……"

Gu Yuan opened his mouth and finally told the truth, "No."

"Won't?"

Ye Wenjun seemed to have discovered a new world.

In her eyes, there seemed to be nothing that could stump Gu Yuan, and there was nothing that Gu Yuan couldn't do. She didn't expect that Gu Yuan didn't know how to eat salty melon seeds.

"Ang, I have never completely bitten the shell, and then I just didn't bother to crack it. My dad always said that eating salted melon seeds is like pushing a big grinder, chewing it up and swallowing it directly." Gu Yuan looked helpless, Even when he was in his thirties, he never learned to eat salty melon seeds.

Ye Wenjun put down his pen and picked up a handful of melon seeds with a smile:
"I'll teach you."
