A touch of happiness

Chapter 16

And Xiu had a strange hope, always feeling that he could hear Henry Nuo Nuo's voice in the next moment.

Look, can't she sense the outside world now?

Xiu believes that she will recover soon.Xiu remembered that Yu hadn't had breakfast yet, so he said goodbye to Henry and took him home.

When he looked back at her for the last time, her expression had gradually changed from a faint smile to a complete, shy and sweet smile that belonged to her alone.

"She smiled." Xiu said to Yu happily.

The other party is just gentle and helpless.

When they got home, the first thing Xiu did was turn up his stove.My soul is broken, it's so cold outside.

Xiu raised the fire, raised his head, and it was falling into Yu's eyes.Those were a pair of eyes that were as dark as the night, and what was reflected in them was his own face, which was dirty because of the fire.Yes, very clear, complete self.

So Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed. "I, I'm going to cook for you."

"En." Yu responded, but still followed Xiu, not leaving a step, really like a little tail.

Xiu secretly laughed.In Yu's eyes, it looks like a cat stealing fish.

What should I do?Suddenly saw the little potato hiding in the corner.There is.Xiu rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands first, and then picked out a bunch of small potatoes, checking one by one to see if they had sprouted.Then turn on the heat and boil a pot of water.At this time, wash the potatoes and put them in water to boil.

When it is almost cooked, take it out and poke it with chopsticks.Very good, you can poke it in.The skin is then peeled and crushed with a pestle.

"Let me do it." Yu didn't know when he washed his hands, grabbed the things in Xiu's hands and started to help.

Xiu stared blankly at his side, then smiled silently. "Okay." After speaking, he turned around and began to knead the crushed potatoes into small balls, each ball was only as big as his eyes.Then pour out the water in the pan, heat the pan again, and add a third of the pan's oil.Once the oil is bubbling, start frying the potato balls.

The two people worked together, and after a while, the fried potato balls, which were golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, came out of the pan.

"You eat first." Xiu ordered, then turned around and continued.

There are really not many vegetables in this season, but Xiu still hopes to make a special meal for Yu.

Xiu picked some green vegetables and oyster mushrooms, chopped them up, fried them in hot oil, and boiled them in a little water, and it was ready.

Next, Xiu climbed to the roof of the pavilion and dried the fish hidden there.Hehe, these good things, he wanted to eat them from the first day he made them.In the past, Grandpa Yabu always used it to cook soup. There are so many people, and each person has a small piece.

Xiu used steamed ones, added a lot of rice wine, and sprinkled a thin layer of shredded ginger on top.

After a while, the air was filled with the fresh and salty smell of fish.

"Okay." Xiu took out the fish, and quickly pinched the earlobe with his hand when it was so hot.The soft earlobes look fuller and fuller against the backdrop of the slender fingers, making one feel alluring.

Yu poured down a cup of tea hard to hide his embarrassment.

Xiu didn't notice anything wrong with him, and said with a smile. "Okay, let's eat." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly started.

Yu smiled and glanced at the boy with bulging cheeks, then lowered his head and began to eat.This was not the best meal he had ever eaten, but it was the most touching meal for him as Yu.

A touch of warmth, mixed with the wonderful aroma of food permeates the air.

In fact, for people, this is already the whole meaning of happiness, isn't it?

But fate is always like raindrops, big and small, good and bad, falling down in buckets, making people unable to avoid and avoid.

Three days later, Henry died.

you in this world

In Jia Daishan’s garden, on that rare sunny day in winter, a small lavender flower bloomed, the stamens were as golden as the bright sunshine, and the petals were slender, soft and shy.

However, at this moment, Xiu just squatted in front of that lovely flower, hugged Yu beside him tightly, and cried loudly.

Tears fell into the flowers, and the heavy and delicate flowers kept trembling, as if shaking their heads.

Xiu stared blankly at the shaking flowers.Is that you, Henry?

Don't cry, Xiu.

don't cry...

Later, Xiu learned from the rumors of the patrolmen that Henry might have been injured so badly in order to protect the books in the cellar.

Due to the natural noble status of women, even wars will not harm women for no reason.Henry works so hard to protect the books that he would rather burn the entire house down than hand over her so-called treasure.

The fire reflected on the girl's face, burning everything she loved.

She didn't have any thoughts of resisting with her life, because she was neither a soldier nor a strong person.

She has always been so timid, she is always too shy to talk to anyone, and she is very embarrassed to even look at others.

Xiu knew she didn't want to sacrifice her life for something.Because she told him so.

Save me, Xiu.

Xiu, I don't want to die.

How could she do this?

It wasn't until later that Xiu learned that the flower's name was Xiangyang, and only the old man guarding the tomb knew that the flower's language was - bravely yearning for the sun.

Yu hugged the boy in her arms tightly, as if embracing her own world.

The gears of fate crush people's fragile bodies, little by little, until the world is turned into dust-like mud.

Irresistible fate...

"Rain, rain, rain..." Xiu whispered in his deep sleep, and he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Yu gently covered him with a thick coat, picked him up and walked towards home.His silent face was full of pity and tenderness at the moment.

What should I do, just like this, I will go crazy with jealousy, and I can't help but want to hug him tightly and rub him into my blood bones, hiding him.

When did you start liking him?

From the first time I saw him, he was tender and soft like a mimosa, as if he would shrink back with just a light touch. He was a weak existence that had never been seen before.

From watching him stay up in bed every day, with small dazed movements, even though he is working hard and still working hard to live, he suddenly wakes up his dazed self.

From watching the chaotic flow of people overwhelm him, his heart trembled involuntarily, afraid that he would be hurt.

From his fear of violence, he still uses his weak body to save others.

I don’t remember it anymore, I always feel that since I like it, love has spread to my entire memory, and the colors in my memory have all turned into pink.

"What should I do, Xiu?" I have grown to like you so much...

Only one day in the winter of that year was the sky blue.

It was also the only good weather in Xiu's memory.

Xiu woke up in the warmth, he wondered why he was here, and when the fireplace was up.

"You're awake, come and drink some water." A strong hand hugged him, and handed a glass of lemon and honey water to his mouth.

Ah, it's rain.Oh yes, we're home. "Okay." He drank more than half of the glass slowly.

At this time, Yu put the small table in front of him, and served a small bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. "Are you hungry, eat this first to fill your stomach." The porridge was boiled rotten, black preserved eggs and red and yellow bacon pieces, making the beige porridge very beautiful.

"Oh, you are amazing." Xiu happily drank from a small spoon.

Yu silently touched his nose.In fact, he can only cook porridge.But looking at Xiu who is very happy, he better not talk about it.

Yu also took a bowl, sat across from Xiu, and began to eat.

Xiu's face was warmed by the fire in the fireplace and turned red.Maybe it's also because...

Xiu secretly glanced at Yu.

A little too close.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Yu asked while packing up.Maybe the tone was not so gentle, but Xiu felt a faint warmth from the voice of the person in front of him.

Xiu, what would you like to eat tonight?

Papa Eli, I want to eat, um, what's good?What do you say, Papa Byron?

"Hmm~ what should I eat?" Xiu said with a smile. "What does the rain eat?"

Rain froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Eat salted fish, is there any more?"

"Yes." Xiu still had a smile on his face, looking at the person in front of him, the firelight from the fireplace reflected in his dark eyes, reflecting the warmth of that figure.

This is what Xiu misses, misses, and overlaps with fantasies, everything.

Xiu climbed up to the pavilion and picked out a fish with a beautiful color, and then cut some pork.Mince the pork, add some rice wine, pepper and starch, stir well, and cover with gauze.A cut was made in the belly of the fish, and the pork was stuffed in.

Then slice the mushrooms, put them in water with some minced meat, and add a little starch after a while.Then hang the steamer on top to heat.

Take out some bracken in the jar now, soak it in warm water, take it out after a while, squeeze it dry, put it on a plate, add white vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, stir it, and then sprinkle some on it before frying White sesame seeds.

Yu got out his tablecloth out of nowhere and decorated the table very beautifully.Xiu served the dishes with him.

The two looked at each other and smiled. "Let's go."

The bracken tastes refreshing and crispy, and the appropriate sour taste is appetizing.The mushroom soup was thick, and the sugar added at the end lined the sweetness.The saltiness of the fish and the firmness of the pork are really a double enjoyment.

Two people swept away all the food.

"It's delicious." Rain said to him with a smile.

"That's right! It's great." Xiu replied while tidying up.

Not
