Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 348
The sky outside the window became dizzy.Before you know it, this last bit of leisure time is about to run out.The heating stove in the house was about to burn out, and the air cooled down to the bone.The flying snow wet the window lattice, and even the smoke veil seemed to hang heavily.

Su Ruoqing lowered her head and clenched a chess piece in her hand.He said in a low voice, "Ah Song, can you stop doing this."

Ye Song swept the chessboard lightly with his sleeve, tightly gripped a chess piece that Su Ruoqing had taken, and said, "Su Ruoqing, I'm leaving. If you have time, forget about me."

"But I'm busy all year round."

Just when Ye Song turned around, Su Ruoqing said so.Ye Song paused, turned his head slightly, but was too stubborn to look back at him, only saw his lonely black silhouette under the window, and said, "That's just right, it's easy to forget when you're busy."

In the end, there was a dead silence in the room.It seemed that when she left, she took away all the anger.

Now she was under the evergreen vines outside the chess hall, and the snow fell on her hair. She raised her head, looked at the endless gray sky, turned and left without raising her head again.

Obviously, as long as she raises her head, she can see Su Ruoqing by the window, looking down at her.

At this time, even though it is not completely dark, ordinary people will light yellowish lamps in their affluent homes.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and Ye Song walked alone on the empty street.She didn't feel cold, and there was no sensation anywhere in her body, she only knew how to move forward mechanically.

Her skin was completely white from the ice and snow, and the tip of her nose was slightly red.After a while, the hair was covered with a layer of snow, as if he had turned into a gray-haired old man.

Later, when he turned the corner of the street, Ye Song was taken aback.She saw a shed on the side of the street. The shed was steaming. It was a small street stall selling glutinous rice balls.Inside, a middle-aged and fat lady was stirring the pot with a long spoon. Seeing that there were very few guests coming and going, there would be no guests if it was too late.So after the last customer finished eating the hot glutinous rice balls, she was ready to clean up the stall.No matter what, another guest came at this time.

The fat aunt enthusiastically said: "Guest officer, please sit down casually. Do you want glutinous glutinous rice balls or longan and red date glutinous rice balls..." She turned around as she spoke, just in time to see Ye Song coming in, shaking her hands on her shoulders and in her hair falling snow.

Ye Song sat down as if nothing had happened, and said, "Let's have a bowl of glutinous glutinous rice balls."

"Okay, okay..." The aunt hurriedly turned around and went to Zhang Luo.

How could she not recognize Ye Song.Ye Song used to be a frequent visitor to her place.But that was before she did something wrong with Ye Song.

A complex look appeared on the aunt's face as she threw the glutinous rice balls into the pot.She calmed down and said, "It's so cold and it's so late, why is the girl still wandering in the street?"

Ye Song said: "Ah, passing by, just about to go home." She obviously still remembered this fat lady, looked back at her busy figure, and asked, "Are you also selling glutinous rice balls here in winter now? "

After a pause, the aunt smiled restrainedly: "Yeah, life is hard. It would be good to think that I can earn two more money by selling glutinous rice balls here. Although there are few customers, it is better than none."

Ye Song said: "You have children in your family, so the expenses will inevitably be higher."

"Girl, I..." The aunt put all the glutinous rice balls in.

Ye Song interrupted her with a slight smile, and said, "Put more fermented glutinous rice, do you have goji berry, add some too, otherwise it will still be cold after eating."

"well."

The aunt put two tablespoons of fermented glutinous rice into the small pot, and sprinkled wolfberries.

Ye Song suddenly asked, "How old is your son?"

Auntie's hands scooping up the glutinous rice balls suddenly trembled, and the hot soup scalded her hands. She wiped it off quickly, and brought a bowl full of glutinous rice balls to Ye Song's table, saying, "It's fifteen this year. Study here and prepare to take the imperial examination in the spring of next year."

"Oh? How about the grades?"

"It's the best in the academy. The master said he will be able to make a difference in the future."

Ye Song took the spoon, and the heat puffed up, burning her eyes.She said: "No wonder..."

Seeing this, the aunt couldn't bear it any longer, she knelt down in front of Ye Song with a plop, and said regretfully, "Girl, woman, I'm an honest person, and I've never done anything harmful to nature! But...but However, I cheated the girl out of conscience. There was never a day when I was not suffering. I never thought that I could see the girl again. It is true that God opened his eyes and gave me this retribution, so that my conscience can be at ease. The girl thinks You can punish me any way you want! At that time they threatened my son’s life, which was my lifeblood, and I had to obey, so they gave the girl sweat medicine and the girl was arrested by the bad guys!” It's been so long, Ye Song remembered, but he didn't intend to embarrass her. Ye Song had already asked Li Ruyi to get it back, and there was no need to embarrass her. He just wanted to eat a bowl of warm glutinous rice balls.But the aunt cried more and more sadly, "Please forgive me, girl, even if something like that happens again, the woman will make the same choice without regret. How can a mother see her son hurt!"

Ye Song said: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you."

The aunt said: "Miss is so kind and virtuous, I am really ashamed to make a woman! If the girl refuses to forgive me, I will kneel and die here without any second thoughts!"

Ye Song took a sip of the soup and ate a dumpling. The past scenes floated up in her mind unconsciously like a horse watching flowers, the chance meeting in the troupe orchard, the quiet time in the chess hall, and her eating cold glutinous rice balls. After eating too much, I was hugged to see a doctor... Those are like a living spring, which was poured into her heart when she was about to dry up. It was like the glutinous rice balls in the mouth, with a warm breath.

The hot spring oozed out of the warm eye sockets, tick tock, and all rolled into the bowl of glutinous rice balls.She tasted salty and sweet.

Ye Song took a breath and said, "I didn't blame you at all, get up. If you feel guilty, cook me a bowl of glutinous rice balls of various flavors. Today's glutinous glutinous rice balls are not as delicious as before. Salt? Why does it taste salty?"

The aunt raised her head to look at Ye Song, and saw that her face was full of tears, and the tears fell into the soup, which was naturally salty.But the aunt is used to human nature and she is experienced, so she didn't expose Ye Song, she just stood up and said, "Well, as long as the girl is willing to eat, she can cook a bowl!"

The night fell, and there was no one on the entire long street.Only the glutinous rice ball shop on the corner of the street was still steaming, and a very weak lamp was lit in the shop, and it was placed on the table where Ye Song was.Ye Song ate glutinous rice balls alone, and there were several empty bowls on the table.

But every bowl she eats has a unique taste, which is salty.

The aunt couldn't stand it any longer, so she said, "Girl, ma'am, I don't feel sorry for my glutinous rice balls, it's just that the glutinous glutinous rice balls are not easy to digest when you eat them like this. Turn around and be careful that you can't bear it."

Ye Song hiccupped, looked up at the sky outside, and realized it was so late.She casually put a piece of silver on the table, got up and prepared to leave, and said, "It's okay, I have always had a strong digestion ability. It's just that I hurt myself from eating today, and I may not eat glutinous rice balls again for many years in the future."

When the aunt saw that she had put the money, she quickly put the money back into Ye Song's hand, and said, "Young lady, you can't do it. I apologized to you for these things. How dare you accept her money!"

Ye Song glanced at her, but said: "Isn't your son going to prepare for the imperial examination in the spring of next year? You won't let him eat and wear warm clothes? At this time, your son should have returned home from school and is waiting for you to go back, right?" , I stole some of your family happiness, which is regarded as compensation. Just accept the money.” After speaking, Ye Song wrapped up his clothes, walked out of the shed without giving the aunt a chance to talk, and walked into the In the snowstorm of the dark night.

The aunt looked at her back, holding the silver in her hand, and felt that it was extremely hot.

Then, when he turned around, he froze again.I saw another guest walked into the shed, as if he had been waiting for a long time in the wind and snow. He was dressed in black but his whole body was covered with a layer of white snow, just like a snowman, braving the cold.

He sat where Ye Song had just sat, his voice was cold and hoarse: "Are there any hot glutinous rice balls?"

When he brushed off the snow and revealed his true face, the aunt was shocked again. She looked at the street outside. Ye Song had already been submerged in the night and could not be found. The aunt pointed to Ye Song and left. Direction, said: "The young master is with the girl just now. The girl has already left. Could it be that you have been watching her outside before, why didn't you come in and go with her?"

She still remembers this son, who was the one who reminded her to sell hot glutinous rice balls instead of cold glutinous rice balls.Because at that time Ye Song had indigestion because he ate two bowls of cold glutinous rice balls.

Su Ruoqing looked calm and said, "Let's cook the glutinous rice balls."

The other party didn't say anything, and the aunt didn't want to ask more questions, so she turned around and cooked glutinous rice balls.Su Ruoqing didn't ask what flavor to eat, so she cooked the most commonly eaten glutinous glutinous rice balls, and said while busy: "Just now, that girl kept saying that the glutinous rice balls were salty, but she didn't pay attention to them, it was her tears She rolled into the soup. I don’t know what happened, but she kept crying, and she couldn’t stop crying. She must have experienced something sad..."

Su Ruoqing opened her mouth, but asked, "I heard you say that someone threatened your son's life with drugging her in glutinous rice balls. When did it happen?"

The aunt was startled, and said: "Master, do you want to avenge that girl? If so, I don't have any complaints. Probably before the end of this summer, someone kidnapped my son from the academy, and it seems that he knew about the girl. They often come to my place to eat glutinous rice balls, and they force me to give the girl sweat medicine. I did that only when I had to, and then the girl was taken away by them."

Su Ruoqing's face was as cold as snow, and he said, "Do you know who they are?"
