Chapter 2431 Practical flip-flops, drooling red beans

Xu Hongdou made up his mind, and naturally he was no longer confused. He lay on the bed and looked at the night outside the window. The faint chirping of insects came, bringing a bit of cool breeze, which made people feel very comfortable. With a faint smile, I felt a tranquility that I had never experienced before, and gradually fell into sleep, and a murmur came from the room.

"Chen Nanxing, I will definitely take down Li Qingyan!"

In the early morning, the sound of roosters crow was heard outside. Many families in Yunmiao Village raised some poultry, chickens, ducks and geese, mostly for their own consumption, and they were fed with grains.

Li Qingyan opened his eyes, let out a long yawn, got up and took a shower. He was wearing very loose clothes and flip-flops on his feet. He didn't care much about his image, so he walked out of the room and met many people. red beans.

"Pfft! Did you sleep without closing the window last night?"

Li Qingyan came close to Xu Hongdou, and a faint fragrance emerged, like the aroma of white magnolia, quiet and elegant, lingering on the tip of his nose, making him couldn't help but twitch his nose, watching Xu Hongdou's face and arms covered with mosquitoes The red envelope he bit was particularly conspicuous, and his eyes were made smiley.

Xu Hongdou scratched the red envelope on her arm, looked at Li Qingyan in surprise, and said doubtfully.

"How do you know I didn't close the window?"

"You have mosquito bites on your face and arms like this. You must have not closed the windows!"

"The mosquitoes here in Dali are very ferocious at night. If you don't close the windows, you will be bitten all over your body!"

"Don't scratch it yet. The more you scratch it, the more itchy it will become. If you accidentally scratch it and get infected, it won't leave any scars!"

"Let's go and buy some Fengyoujing and toilet water!"

Li Qingyan shook his head and looked at the depressed Xu Hongdou in amusement. He took the lead to walk downstairs. The flip-flops made a clicking sound as he walked down the stairs, attracting the attention of Xu Hongdou behind him. The corners of his mouth opened slightly. , showing a slight smile.

"Do you like wearing flip-flops that much?"

"It's very comfortable to wear. You can try it too!"

Li Qingyan looked down at the flip-flops on his feet and answered casually. The flip-flops Li Qingyan wore on his feet were either branded goods or cheap ones he bought at a street stall for ten yuan. The quality of these flip-flops was so good that they would wear out even after being worn for a year.

Xu Hongdou narrowed his eyes slightly, and imagined himself wearing beautiful clothes and a pair of flip-flops on his feet. The scene was so beautiful, and he quickly shook his head to get rid of this terrible thought. Who loves it? Whoever wears it, I still need to pay attention to the image of a beautiful woman. It is impossible to wear it like this.

"forget it!"

Li Qingyan showed a trace of regret on his face, seemed a little disappointed, and whispered.

“It’s really comfortable to wear, and it’s also cheap, only ten yuan a pair!”

Li Qingyan took Xu Hongdou to the small supermarket in the village and bought toilet water and Fengyoujing. Xu Hongdou had to pay. When he checked his pockets, he remembered that his mobile phone was broken and he had no cash at all.

"I'll do it, Xie Qin, I'll pay you five hundred more, give me some cash!"

Xie Qin felt a little embarrassed since she misunderstood Li Qingyan last time. Hearing this, she nodded happily and took out 500 yuan in cash from the counter and handed it to Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan casually stuffed five red bills into Xu Hongdou's hand and said.

"It will take three days to repair your phone. You should take the five hundred yuan first as an emergency!"

Xu Hongdou did not refuse, he collected the money generously and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll keep it first. This five hundred yuan can be regarded as solving my urgent need!"

Young people now pay with their mobile phones and rarely carry cash with them. The same is true for Xu Hongdou. After her mobile phone broke, she had no money on her.

When the two returned to the small courtyard, Damai was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron and looking like that.

"Sister Hongdou, brother Qingyan, are you out?"

Maybe it was because after what happened last night, Damai and the two of them got to know each other a little better. Although there was still some embarrassment, they finally took the initiative to say hello. This was already a huge breakthrough for a social-phobic online article writer. It was very not easy.

"Barley, why did you get up so early to make breakfast?"

Xu Hongdou sat at the table nearby, picked up the water glass, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

Damai looked at Xu Hongdou submissively, pondered for a moment, stopped the movements of his hands, and spoke slowly.

"I have not slept yet!"

"Stay up late?"

Xu Hongdou was stunned. She was a little surprised by Damai's schedule. She put down the water glass in her hand, looked at the dark circles on Damai's delicate face, and said with concern.

"Girls can't stay up late often, it's not good for their health and they will age quickly!"

Xu Hongdou has a unique charm, and people feel very comfortable when getting along with her. When Damai heard her concern, she felt that Xu Hongdou was like her sister, and the tension in her heart relaxed a little, and she explained.

"It's quiet at night and I get more inspiration, so I'm used to writing at night. My daily routine is different from normal people!"

Damai held a plate of chopped ingredients in her hand and put it into the casserole. She was cooking rice noodles. A rich aroma came out of the casserole. Damai turned to look at Xu Hongdou and Li Qingyan, and said shyly .

"I cooked too much rice noodles, why don't I serve you a bowl?"

"no, I'm fine!"

"I'll make my own cereal later!"

Xu Hongdou waved her hand. She was too embarrassed to trouble Damai. After all, the two of them had only known each other for two days, so it was not a good idea to eat together.

"OK!"

Li Qingyan didn't know what politeness meant, so he nodded and accepted directly.

With a bit of bravery on his face, Damai looked at Xu Hongdou again and whispered.

"Sister Hongdou, I really cooked too much!"

Xu Hongdou looked at the sincere Damai and then at the cheerful Li Qingyan, then nodded and said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Damai!"

Although Da Mai didn't talk much, he was still very efficient in his work. After a while, three bowls of rice noodles were put on the table. The three of them immersed themselves in the rice, and the food was very delicious.

Xu Hongdou was eating rice noodles and scratching the red envelopes with mosquito bites on her arms. Her fair and tender arms were all red from scratching.

"Sister Hongdou, are there mosquitoes in your room?"

Damai looked at Xu Hongdou and asked with concern, his tone was weak, like a doormat.

"Well, I forgot to close the window when I went to bed last night. I didn't expect there were so many mosquitoes here?"

Xu Hongdou replied with a smile, still scratching her hands.

"I have essential oil and mosquito-killing spray in my room. I'll bring them to you later!"

Damai lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice noodles, pretending to be relaxed and said, for Damai, it is also very difficult to give people things and express concern.

"There's no need for Fengyoujing. I can just give her the mosquito-killing spray!"

Li Qingyan pointed to the toilet water and Fengyoujing on the side, explaining it to the confused Damai.

Damai nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Da Mai, I hear your accent is from southern Hunan, right?"

Damai raised his head unexpectedly and glanced at Xu Hongdou. Unexpectedly, she could hear it and nodded.

"Um!"

"I used to work in a hotel, and I had a very close VIP customer who was also from Shonan. Your accents are quite similar!"

Damai nodded suddenly, chewing in his mouth, looking at Xu Hongdou blankly, and asked aloud.

"Sister Hongdou, where do you work in the hotel?"

“In a five-star hotel in Shanghai!”

"Li Qingyan was a customer of my hotel at the beginning, and we also met from this hotel!"

"oh!"

Damai tilted her head, looking a little dazed. After not sleeping all night, her reaction was obviously much slower, and she looked more dazed than usual.

"So, Sister Hongdou, are you and Brother Qingyan both from Shanghai?"

"No, I studied in Shanghai and stayed in Shanghai to work after graduation. I am actually from Qilu!"

"I'm not from Shanghai either, I'm from Qilu too!"

Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Hongdou in surprise and said in surprise.

"I didn't expect that we are still fellow villagers. Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Xu Hongdou also didn't expect that Li Qingyan would be from Qilu, and said with a smile.

"Didn't you say it before? I always thought you were from Shanghai!"

Damai looked at Li Qingyan, then at Xu Hongdou, his eyes flickered, looking thoughtful, and finally asked.

"Sister Hongdou, what are you doing in Yunmiao Village this time?"

"I resigned and came here to relax!"

Xu Hongdou's big eyes were full of memories. Dali was a place that Chen Nanxing had always wanted to come to. Chen Nanxing had pestered Xu Hongdou many times, wanting her to accompany him to play here, but unfortunately Xu Hongdou refused.

"How to relax?"

Damai didn't understand, his eyes were a little confused, and he asked his soul.

Xu Hongdou blinked a few times, the spoon in his hand stopped at his mouth, and he thought for a while, but he didn't know how to answer this question.

"Play on your phone somewhere else?"

Damai's words are straightforward, sincere and sharp, leaving people speechless.

"Not really, the scenery here is so beautiful, you should try to stay away from your mobile phone!"

Xu Hongdou was a little dumbfounded. After thinking for a moment, he answered Damai.

"So what are you planning to do recently?"

Damai looked outside. She was used to the bright sunshine, green plants, and a lively look, and didn't think it was special.

"I don't have any plans. We may need to wait until the phone is repaired!"

Xu Hongdou then replied, showing an embarrassed look after speaking, and quickly explained.

“The main reason is that my phone is broken and it’s inconvenient to do anything!”

Damai disagreed with Xu Hongdou's words and said very frankly.

"Isn't it just a good idea to stay away from the mobile phone? If the mobile phone is around, you will always want to use it. But if the mobile phone is broken, won't you not want to use it?"

Xu Hongdou smiled awkwardly and was speechless. She suddenly found that communicating with Damai was a bit too tiring. Any topic that came into Damai's mouth would be chatted to death.

Li Qingyan saw Xu Hongdou being speechless by Damai and couldn't help laughing, causing the two women to look sideways.

"Nothing, I just thought of a joke!"

Damai was a simple man and believed Li Qingyan's explanation. Xu Hongdou was not easy to fool. She rolled her eyes at Li Qingyan and knew that he was just laughing at her.

Damai finished the last bite of rice noodles, looked up at Xu Hongdou and Li Qingyan, and said with some embarrassment.

"that!"

Damai hesitated for a moment and tilted her head slightly. The following words made her a little embarrassed.

"Can you do the dishes while I cook?"

Damai closed her eyes nervously. It was obviously very difficult for her to make demands from others.

"Of course it's no problem, you go back and rest first!"

Xu Hongdou readily agreed. It was normal to wash the dishes while eating, and it was not a difficult task.

"Then I'll go back and rest first, thank you!"

Damai pushed away the chair, stood up and left, heading upstairs.

Xu Hongdou looked at Damai's leaving figure and said to Li Qingyan who was watching the show.

"Whoever finishes eating last will wash the dishes!"

Xu Hongdou was not angry at Li Qingyan's joke just now, so she was a little resentful.

"no problem!"

Li Qingyan nodded. Xu Hongdou's proposal was fair and he would naturally not object.

After all, Li Qingyan was a man, and he ate much faster than Xu Hongdou. He pushed the bowl in front of him and said to his opponent Xu Hongdou with a smile.

"I've finished eating, you lose, you wash the dishes!"

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Qingyan who looked like he had won a battle, and smiled. He was not angry or pretentious, and was willing to admit defeat.

"Just leave the bowls and chopsticks there, and I'll just wash them together after I've finished eating!"

Li Qingyan was not polite. He got up and went upstairs to get a few books. He sat under the awning in the small courtyard and read.

Xu Hongdou finished washing the dishes and returned upstairs. She saw the mosquito-killing spray that Damai had hung on her door, and a smile appeared on her face.

Li Qingyan was reading quietly, and when he smelled the strong scent of Fengyoujing, he raised his head and saw Xu Hongdou, who was smiling expectantly. Then he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

"Although Fengyoujing smells strong, it should be very effective, right?"

Xu Hongdou nodded, sat next to Li Qingyan, looked down at the book in Li Qingyan's hand, and asked.

"What book are you reading?"

"Six Chapters of a Floating Life written by Shen Fu blends literary talent with nature and integrates true feelings into all things. Although it is not as complicated and huge as "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is also simple, elegant and upright, and the light ink is suitable!"

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Qingyan, who was calm, and felt a little more moved in his heart. Li Qingyan usually had a free and easy and transparent attitude, but when he was studying, it was different. He had an air of elegance and wisdom, his eyes were full of tranquility, and he was independent from the world. , extraordinary temperament.

"You are really surprising. I thought you would be a casual and bohemian person, but I didn't expect you to have such a quiet side!"

"People are complex and changeable, and they may only have one face. Just like when you usually go to work, you must be pleasant and polite, but after get off work, it will definitely be different!"

Li Qingyan turned his head and looked at Xu Hongdou, his eyes were deep and wise, as if he could easily see through a person's inner being.

"It's true. My temper is not as gentle as when I'm at work. My personality is a bit boyish!"

Xu Hongdou smiled and admitted that she was not a good girl when she was a child. She was very naughty. It was common to climb trees and catch insects. She even did more outrageous things. Compared with some boys, she made her parents worry a lot.

"What about you, what are you like in private? Is it what I see you like?"

Xu Hongdou did not hide her affection for Li Qingyan and asked Li Qingyan directly. She wanted to know more about Li Qingyan.

"I usually like to see beautiful women!"

Li Qingyan said very frankly, with a smile in his eyes, looking Xu Hongdou up and down, deliberately showing a piggy look on his face, trying to scare Xu Hongdou.

"Does it look good?"

Xu Hongdou was very generous. She was not a little girl. She was deceived by Li Qingyan casually. She asked without being angry at all.

"nice!"

Li Qingyan withdrew his gaze and replied sincerely that Xu Hongdou's appearance was definitely that of a fairy. Even though he had traveled all over the world, he had not seen anyone who could compare with her.

"Good taste!"

Xu Hongdou praised her. She was very confident in her beauty. She had been pursued by countless people over the years, but she was too busy with her career to fall in love, so she remained single until now.

Li Qingyan did not want to continue talking on this topic, but pointed to the book next to him and said.

"Anyone interested?"

Xu Hongdou picked up a few books and picked one at random. She sat side by side with Li Qingyan, leaning her back against the wall. The two of them read the book quietly together. They were both talented and beautiful, just like immortal companions.

Mr. Ma walked out wearing a loose Taoist robe with a string of beads hanging around his neck. When he saw the two people who were absorbed in concentration, he did not disturb them and walked to the futon again to sit down and meditate.

The bright sunshine, the gentle breeze, and the appropriate temperature made people feel particularly comfortable. Xu Hongdou's eyelids gradually became heavy, and the book in his hand slipped silently. His little head tilted and fell on Li Qingyan's shoulder.

Li Qingyan glanced sideways at Xu Hongdou, who was sleeping soundly, and adjusted his posture to make Xu Hongdou sleep more comfortably. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at the book in his hand again, but the His movements were much gentler, and his movements when turning the pages of the book were smaller, as if he was worried about waking Xu Hongdou.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Hongdou woke up from a warm and comfortable sleep, opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the face so close to him cutely, blinked, but still didn't react.

"you're awake?"

Li Qingyan took his arm out of Xu Hongdou's and moved it twice. After Xu Hongdou fell asleep, he hugged his arm tightly, making his arm numb.

"Why did I fall asleep?"

Only then did Xu Hongdou wake up, with a bit of blush on his face, but he still behaved generously without being shy. He straightened up and stretched, feeling very energetic and uplifted.

"You'd better wipe the corners of your mouth first. How old are you? You still drool while sleeping!"

Xu Hongdou's face turned red, her eyes stopped on the clothes on Li Qingyan's shoulders, she quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeves and said slightly embarrassed.

"I usually don't drool when I sleep. Maybe it's because I'm leaning on your shoulder!"

"Would you like to go back to your room and change some clothes first?!"

Xu Hongdou reached out and pointed at Li Qingyan's shoulder, and a water stain was clearly visible.
