The second day of October is Si Xingpei's birthday. net

Every year on his birthday, the old lady asked him to go back for dinner, but he would refuse, and even be in a bad mood.

"My mother suffered and gave birth to me on this day," he always said.

He couldn't recall.

He couldn't accept anything related to his mother.

The world doesn't know the truth about his mother's death, and Si Xingpei doesn't bother to pour out his bitterness, and he carries everyone's affairs by himself.

What Sister-in-law Zhu wanted to tell Gu Qingzhou was about this matter.

For birthdays, you have to eat longevity noodles, this is Sister-in-law Zhu's belief.

Sister-in-law Zhu wanted to trouble Gu Qingzhou to cook noodles for Si Xingpei.

"The young marshal is always fighting outside, how can he do it without some blessings on his body? He is blessed with a long life, but I cook it and he refuses to eat it. He listens to you the most, Miss, you can cook him a bowl of longevity noodles. Sister-in-law Zhu begged Gu Qingzhou to say.

Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed: "But, I won't." ”

She didn't expect that today was Si Xingpei's birthday.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you." Sister-in-law Zhu said.

Sister-in-law Zhu reconciled the noodles, and then told Gu Qingzhou how to knead the noodles.

Gu Qingzhou's injuries had healed, but her strength was not enough, Sister-in-law Zhu rubbed herself hard, and then asked Gu Qingzhou to rub it symbolically a few times.

When she woke up, Sister-in-law Zhu chatted with Gu Qingzhou and talked about Si Xingpei's mother.

"Mrs. hanged herself, not died of illness, outsiders don't know about it, and the young marshal doesn't allow me to talk nonsense, I only told you." Sister-in-law Zhu whispered and told Gu Qingzhou the secret.

She probably felt that Gu Qingzhou would not leave Si Xingpei, he was her own person.

Sister-in-law Zhu paused and continued, "When Mrs. left, the young marshal was only three years old. Just a year later, the Overseer married a new wife. ”

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

Speaking of this, Gu Qingzhou felt a little guilty. There was something she knew, but she couldn't say it right now.

"Mrs. Surrender, there was no one in the house, only the young marshal was at home, he hugged his wife's legs and cried for a long time." Sister-in-law Zhu said.

A chill stretched from Gu Qingzhou's back.

She bit her lip slightly.

"It's pathetic!" Sister-in-law Zhu began to wipe her tears. Some things, no matter how long it has been, are still heartbroken to mention.

Then Sister-in-law Zhu said: "I worked in my wife's mother's house when I was eight years old, and I grew up with my wife. Later, my wife got married and brought me to the Si family. On the day my wife died, she deliberately separated me.

When I returned to Si's house, my wife was put on a wooden plank, and for some reason the seven orifices began to bleed, but I was afraid that I was reluctant to be a young marshal. We said that the wife was gone, and the young marshal said no, 'Mom is still bleeding, and the dead are not bleeding', and the young marshal was three years old at that time! ”

When Gu Qingzhou heard this, he was still silent, but his heart was sour.

Did Si Xingpei feel that bloodshed was a sign of life from that day?

Did his bloodthirsty madness fall from that time?

Maybe it was just the beginning for him to understand that bleeding is good, and bleeding means that he didn't lose his mother.

"Alas, pitiful." Sister-in-law Zhu sighed deeply, and couldn't hold back her tears.

She didn't want to cry today, so she tried to hold back, and went to teach Gu Qingzhou to knead dough.

Gu Qingzhou was also slightly touched and said, "I'll come by myself!" ”

She kneaded a ball of dough until it was firm, with a slight force, causing fine sweat to coat her forehead.

Si Xingpei rarely came back early in the afternoon, he didn't remember that today was his birthday, but the weather was getting colder, so he bought a shawl for Gu Qingzhou.

It was a pure white snow silk shawl, decorated with a long white tassel, worn on her body, like a blooming white rose, swaying layer upon layer.

He thought it was very good-looking, and just after the military affairs were handled, he came back early.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Gu Qingzhou busy in the kitchen.

Gu Qingzhou was wearing a homely lotus-colored slanted blouse, with half-rolled sleeves, long green hair tied into a low bun, and a pink neck hanging down, looking like a wife.

Si Xingpei's heart moved slightly.

Putting down the gift, he walked to the kitchen and saw Gu Qingzhou kneading the dough, Si Xingpei frowned: "Your injury is not healed, what are you doing with so much energy?" ”

Gu Qingzhou raised his head and smiled, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.

Sister-in-law Zhu explained beside her: "Today is the young marshal's birthday, Miss Gu wants to make a longevity noodle for the young marshal." ”

Si Xingpei was stunned.

He wanted to get angry, his face sank slightly, and at the same time, he saw Gu Qingzhou's struggling kneading dough, and his heart softened again, and the fire went down.

"I'm not a birthday." Si Xingpei said, and then stepped forward to take Gu Qingzhou's hand, "Wash your hands, let's go out to eat!" ”

Sister-in-law Zhu stood beside her, not daring to persuade deeply.

Because Sister-in-law Zhu grew up beside Si Xingpei's mother, she is like Si Xingpei's aunt, more like an elder, Si Xingpei respects her very much and does not treat her as a servant.

Whenever Sister-in-law Zhu speaks, Si Xingpei will listen, and his birthday violates his taboo.

When he mentions his birthday, he thinks of his mother

He can't think!

"I've been rubbing it for a long time." Gu Qingzhou hesitated, "Sister-in-law Zhu and I have been preparing all morning, and it's almost ready." Longevity noodles are blessed, you often have things to do all year round, what should you do if your luck runs out? ”

Her slightly worried eyes fell softly on Si Xingpei's face.

Si Xingpei wavered a little.

Gu Qingzhou struck while the iron was hot: "It's the first time I've cooked"

This sentence finally moved Si Xingpei.

"Okay, try your craft." He said.

Gu Qingzhou's noodles were almost kneaded, and Sister-in-law Zhu helped knead them a few more times, and they were completely kneaded.

Roll out the dough thinly, and then cut it into thin strips, Gu Qingzhou is unhurried, the workmanship is rough but the attitude is serious, half a strand of green silk hangs low, and the face of the white Shengyu is a little red, which is particularly delicate.

She's so good-looking, like Si Xingpei's wife!

Si Xingpei sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a telegram in one hand and a cigar in one hand, his eyes chasing the shadow of the kitchen from time to time, and there was a warm current in his heart.

Gu Qingzhou made the noodles, and Sister-in-law Zhu also boiled the water.

The noodles were put into the pot, and Gu Qingzhou began to make the hijab.

The eggs were scrambled and set aside, Gu Qingzhou cut the radish, beans, fungus, dried sauce, diced meat, everything according to Sister-in-law Zhu's instructions, prepared all kinds of ingredients, put hot oil in the pot, and then put in the sweet noodle sauce.

After the noodles were cooked, half a bowl of chicken soup was poured on, and Gu Qingzhou carefully served it to Si Xingpei.

"It's a little hot, maybe it doesn't taste as good as Sister-in-law Zhu's." Gu Qingzhou said, "If you taste it, you should have eaten it." ”

She handed the chopsticks to him and said, "I wish the young marshal a long life." ”

Si Xingpei smiled.

Taking the chopsticks, he tasted them.

The taste is very delicious, not salty or light, the chicken soup is rich, the hijab is sweet and salty, the noodles are a little thick, they are cooked, and they are very strong, it can be seen that Gu Qingzhou worked hard when kneading the dough.

He didn't speak, and buried himself in eating a whole bowl of longevity noodles.

Putting down the chopsticks, he handed the bowl to Gu Qingzhou without getting enough of it: "Another bowl." ”

Then he looked at Sister-in-law Zhu standing next to her with tears of joy, and said, "You also eat, you are all blessed." ”

"Whoa!" Sister-in-law Zhu said happily.

Sister-in-law Zhu is better than Si Xingpei, and she praises Gu Qingzhou's noodles for doing well while eating.

Gu Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, and she also buried her head in eating half a bowl.

Si Xingpei ate three bowls and finally satisfied his appetite.

After the meal, the two of them took a walk in the courtyard, and then when they sat in the gazebo, Si Xingpei hugged Gu Qingzhou to his lap.

"From now on, you will live here and cook for me every day." Si Xingpei gently stroked her cheek, and her heart was calm and warm.

It was his best birthday in more than 20 years.

"I don't want it, cooking is so tedious!" Gu Qingzhou said, "Besides, I don't do as well as Sister-in-law Zhu, I don't want to rob Sister-in-law Zhu's work." ”

Si Xingpei lifted her face and kissed her.

"Just make it for me, I like to eat the food made by Qingzhou." He said.

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes, and the thick bangs covered his eyes, and he couldn't see his emotions.

He hugged her tightly and rested his head on her shoulder, but no longer pressed her to say yes.

This birthday is already the best.

He gave the shawl he brought back to Gu Qingzhou and put it on for her personally.

The night breeze is beautiful, and the two of them walk in a hurry, and there is an illusion of relying on each other until they are old.

"I'm almost fine, it's time for school." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Xingpei was reluctant to let her go to school.

After she left, if you wanted to see her again, you had to go to her house to get it.

Last time, she was almost caught by her stepmother, she was scared half to death, and Si Xingpei was also distressed.

Si Xingpei never wanted to sneak around with her, but she didn't want to break the boat.

"In a few days." The priest said.

"In a few days, the school will have its annual vacation." Gu Qingzhou said, "I will graduate next year, and my homework should not be too bad." ”

Gu Qingzhou was very motivated, and Si Xingpei was slightly pleased.

"That's right, then I'll go again on the fifth day of the new year, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, and you will accompany me for two more days." The priest said.

He has few free days, and the so-called companionship is nothing more than when he comes back at night, and he can have someone to sleep with, as if he has a cat.

Gu Qingzhou didn't refute him, and agreed very meekly.

When he slept at night, he leaned over Gu Qingzhou and kissed her, but then he couldn't control it.

When he was done, Gu Qingzhou's hands were swollen, and he gently helped her rub them.

Gu Qingzhou ignored him.

No matter how much time had passed, she still found it disgusting that he had asked her to do such a thing.

Gu Qingzhou fell asleep in a daze.

At half past four in the morning, Gu Qingzhou woke up, the sky was misty, and Si Xingpei was changing clothes.

He was neatly dressed in his military uniform.

"I'm a little thirsty." Gu Qingzhou said, she was sleepy in her slippers and went downstairs to drink water.

When Si Xingpei went downstairs, the adjutant entered the door: "Young marshal, there is a pot of soup at the door in the morning, saying that it is a birthday gift for the young marshal." ”

When the adjutant brought it in, the pot of soup had already been checked twice, and there were no bombs or hidden weapons.

"Soup?" Si Xingpei frowned.

Gu Qingzhou was also a little puzzled.

Adjutant said yes.

After opening the pot, Gu Qingzhou smelled the rich aroma of meat, and it smelled good.

She looked up and saw that the soup was milky white, quite delicious, and steaming.

If it is sent from outside, only a fool will drink it, Gu Qingzhou looked at it, and when he was about to throw it away later, Si Xingpei went to the kitchen and got a big scoop.

He fished out the bones from the soup.

"Ahh Gu Qingzhou glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, his stomach rolled involuntarily, and he vomited.
