Just near dusk

Chapter 21 Sweet daily life

Li Wenjia was lying on the bed, recalling the fireworks that day. He didn't feel that the past 20 years had come to his mind. People usually sleep less when they get older, so tossing and turning would exhaust their brain power, so in such a quiet place On a night suitable for deep sleep, Li Wenjia opened his eyes and looked at the stars all over the sky outside the window, unconsciously feeling that his thoughts had been sent out again.

He has already stepped into the rhythm of retirement ahead of schedule. He raises birds, walks, and punches every day. He lives carefree. The capital he saved when he was young is enough for him to enjoy the rest of his life. He has a house, land, money and leisure. life, but this kind of comfort made Li Wenjia feel deeply uneasy, because this moment reminded him that he was no longer young, and there was nothing terrible about it. People will grow old, and who can live forever? Keeping young, but the unequal thing is that Mo Xuyou is still in his prime, and his future is much longer than his own.

Li Wenjia felt a little tight in his chest. Mo Xuyou had been on a business trip for more than a month, and sometimes he was so busy that he could only make a phone call for a few seconds, and he didn't dare to contact him rashly when he was free. Almost half of them.This is more annoying than the age gap. Mo Xuyou puts a lot of energy into his own career, but Li Wenjia can't share it for him.

Recalling when the two first got together, Li Wenjia was at a capable age, and was superior to the fledgling Mo Xuyou in terms of economy and experience, but now the two have just lost one by one, and Mo Xuyou is in the rising stage of his career , and Li Wenjia, who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life, washed his hands and made soup.

"Oh," Lao Li turned over on the bed, sighed a long breath, the moonlight swept down faintly, reflecting his few white hairs more and more clearly, he felt a little thirsty, and just wanted to get up When he poured a glass of water, a familiar figure sat beside him.

"You're back." Li Wenjia looked at Mo Xuyou, who had a dusty face, and forcibly concealed his inner excitement. He pretended to be sleepy, and asked casually, "Have you eaten so late?"

"I ate it at the airport." Mo Xuyou took off his eyes, poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Wenjia. He knew that Li Wenjia was not sleeping well these days, so he put some calming tea in the water and watched After Li Wenjia finished drinking, he dragged his tired body to wash up.

Still brushing his teeth, Mo Xuyou turned his head and found Li Wenjia looking at him while holding the bathroom door. His pitiful look made Mo Xuyou smile helplessly, and ended the battle , and said to Li Wenjia: "Lao Li, why are you looking at me like that? Are you still afraid that I might run away from the sewer?"

"I'm just afraid that I was dreaming just now, besides, why didn't you leave suddenly in the middle of the night?" Li Wenjia said this with a trace of resentment.

"You are talking like a little daughter-in-law now." Mo Xuyou shook his head and said, "I can stay at home longer this time, besides, am I afraid of disturbing your sleep when I leave in the middle of the night?"

"You say I'm like a little daughter-in-law, hmph, you're just taking advantage of it, let me see who is more like a little daughter-in-law between the two of us," Li Wenjia's eyes were shining, staring at him with the eyes of a hungry wolf seeing a lamb. Mo Xuyou.

"I really suspect that I gave you the wrong medicine just now." Mo Xuyou felt more and more that he was a sheep in the mouth of a wolf, and that he was doomed. He was not a person who was keen on this matter at first, but he did it because of his extremely strong possessiveness. Mo Xuyou's interest gradually faded as he grew older and became more certain that they were destined to be together, but Li Wenjia was different. As time went by, his possessiveness began to increase. That's about it. Only by doing this can he truly settle down in his heart.

After the cloud and rain between the two of them, Mo Xuyou was so tired that he fell asleep, while Li Wenjia hugged him, smelling the familiar smell on his body, and gradually stepped into a peaceful dreamland.

The next day, when Mo Xuyou woke up, Li Wenjia was already busy making breakfast. He was wearing a cartoon apron and skillfully holding a spatula. He looked like a perfect man from a good family. Mo Xuyou had already woken up, and while he was busy cooking, he urged: "Wash your face quickly, the milk is on the table, and the meal will be ready soon."

Mo Xuyou squinted his eyes at the soft morning sun, and felt that everything was as beautiful as imagined. When you are busy running outside and going through twists and turns, there is a place where you can take off your disguise and lie down freely. Basking in the sun on the bed, someone who really cares about you and cares about you, probably this is the feeling of home.

"Stinky boy, don't get up fast!" A pillow was thrown at Mo Xuyou, pulling him back from his poetic imagination. Anyway, he is also middle-aged, but Li Wenjia still treats him as a child, but what should I say? Well, thinking about it occasionally, he also enjoys it.

"How is the food?" When the two started eating, Li Wenjia looked for praise.

"Yes, it's delicious, but the fried eggs are a bit too hot, the sausage is a bit salty, and the jam is a bit greasy," Mo Xuyou looked at Li Wenjia's shocked expression, and immediately said: "But, but ! Overall, it’s still very good, the main reason is that you put your heart into it, Lao Li, and everything you eat is the most delicious.”

"Your mouth is really..." Li Wenjia originally wanted to praise him for his sweet mouth, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "You usually coax little girls like this outside!"

"Hey, Lao Li," Mo Xuyou said comfortingly, "As a lawyer like me, even if I meet a little girl, I come to file a lawsuit, so I don't want to listen to your coaxing."

"In today's society, you have to be careful. I read the news two days ago that girls in their 20s like uncles like you..." Li Wenjia said worriedly.

"Uncles like me like uncles like you." Mo Xuyou received the words very well, but seeing that Li Wenjia didn't accept the word "uncle" very well, he put it away. Jokingly, he said seriously: "Wenjia, is it because I have been away from home for too long recently, sorry, I have been too busy with work during this period, and I will not be like this in the future."

"What you said is just like me, a young woman who doesn't have a job at home and is just waiting for her husband to come home and give her money. You are usually busy with your work. Don't worry, you will retire sooner or later. By then, the two of us The old man sits facing each other every day, and you can’t even hide.” Li Wenjia didn’t want Mo Xuyou to sacrifice his career because of himself, besides, he wasn’t really doing nothing, maybe this period of time was purely because of the hot weather, I feel anxious and anxious, and I really miss Mo Xuyou.

"By the way, my child contacted me a few days ago, saying that he will come back later this summer vacation and work outside to exercise himself." Just as Mo Xuyou mentioned Xiao Li, a wave of anger appeared on Old Li's face come out.

"That little thing," Li Wenjia slapped the table and said, "I don't know who it looks like. It's getting more and more disobedient. A while ago, she told me that she wanted to go abroad. Before she could speak Chinese well, she wanted to go out and drink foreign ink. It's gone." Li Wenjia said angrily.

"Now the child has a lot of ideas, besides, after all, foreign countries are more developed in this field of biological research, I quite support him to go out." Mo Xuyou persuaded: "Lao Li, let him go when the child grows up."

"You're the one to be a good person." Li Wenjia's anger was gradually calmed down by Shunping. Xiao Li's full name is Li Yu. Yes, it is the same name as that Li Yu who was born in spring and autumn. He adopted relatives after confessing to his father At first, he didn't want to bring a child, but it was his father's only request, and he could only choose this way. Fortunately, the child was very obedient since childhood, but as he grows up, the boy will inevitably become a little rebellious , and the kid himself was very determined, Li Wenjia couldn't control him more and more.

The big ones can't be kept, and the small ones can't be controlled. Li Wenjia deeply feels the crisis of middle-aged and elderly people, but fortunately, he is not such a stubborn person, and the nagging will pass after a few words. What if others are tied to you, it is better to give each other some freedom. Fortunately, we are a family, no matter where we go, the lines between each other are closely connected.

"By the way, you just happened to be here. I want to open a store recently, and you can give me some advice." Li Wenjia asked.

"Why, Zhuoyan Tea House is not doing well, do you still want to open another shop?" Mo Xuyou asked curiously.

"I definitely don't need to take care of the teahouse. It's just that I have some free time recently. I want to open a small craft shop. The main reason is to carve some small gadgets. I can't pick up the big knife now, and I can't do anything with it. Just get some It’s a small one, so it’s easy to have a baby.” Li Wenjia explained, in fact, he can’t say that he has no business acumen, the land he bought in the early years has now doubled several times, this handicraft business has never been able to make a lot of money, but Li Wenjia’s So I decided to do this, because I feel that I have a martial spirit in my life, and if I can do something related to literature and art, maybe it can improve my taste.

"I support whatever you do." Mo Xuyou was also very curious about his interest, "I just don't know why you fell in love with this, no wonder I saw a lot of small ornaments at home this time, so I practiced hard at home when I had nothing to do."

"Don't worry, I'm old and I don't have any talent. What if I'm kicked out by you?" Li Wenjia's burly body, uttering such extravagantly hypocritical words, inevitably produced a strong sense of contrast.

"You're old and pearly, where did you read that?" Mo Xuyou laughed and said, "It's okay, when you're doing takeout, I'll throw coins into your bowl."

"Unconscionable." Li Wenjia also laughed. The two looked at each other and laughed for a long time. The crow's feet added up were enough for several years.
