Chapter 20 Overlap
The door to the bug house opened again.
The sun shines in.
Jiang You put the postcard into the innermost brown paper bag.
"How about we discuss this with you? We will do this job in a few years. When Tang Butian takes action, the forces behind her will intervene..." Jiang You said as he walked towards the yard, "We will do it again then.
Pick something up?"
"Are you hungry?" Jiang You walked to the rest area on the east side of the pond. He lay down on a soft chair. He took out his mobile phone and opened the takeout app. "You are not hungry. You are really hungry. Why are you so picky?"
A spider crawled on the back of another soft chair.
"I just rejected her. It's not appropriate to go find her now. Should I wait until she comes over? Do you want chicken wings? Where are the fish steaks?"
After paying the money, Jiang You yawned and closed his eyes.
Not long after Jiang You left, Tang Butian also left the exhibition center and went to Baihe Temple.
Taoist Qingyang took her through the door and said, "He was right to reject you. Ordinary people should not get too involved in these matters."
"I want to meet Senior Xia," Tang Butian paused, "I seem to have seen her at the Comic Exhibition today."
"Then I'll go with you."
"Thanks."
Jiang You's cell phone vibrated, the takeaway had arrived.
He stood up, walked slowly outside the hospital, and took the bag from the delivery boy.
"Give me a five-star review," the delivery boy said.
"Definitely."
After the takeaway boy left on his electric scooter, Jiang You looked outside and saw Ye Nandi, wearing running shoes and a sportswear, walking toward the insect house.
He held the bag and waited for a while before Ye Nan walked up to him.
Jiang Youyou: "Sister Nan, have you just come back from the gym?"
"Yeah, after running for more than an hour and making two sets of equipment, you're eating fried food again?" Ye Nan glanced at the takeout bag in Jiang You's hand and his belly.
"I just came back, I thought I didn't have lunch."
Ye Nan looked into the yard and said, "Is the yard ready? I passed by it a few days ago and it was so messy. I didn't expect it when I look at it now. Hey, it's really beautiful."
"Just do it casually."
She walked in and stopped by the pond, "Are you going to raise fish?"
"Plant some aquatic plants like water lilies. It's too troublesome to raise fish and feed them regularly."
"You are just lazy. You are lazy." Ye Nan turned around and walked around the rest area. "This shed is very good. You can sit in the shade at night in summer." She sat down on the soft chair, "
If you do this, it will cost tens of thousands, right?"
"Absolutely," Jiang You also sat down, "I'm going to go to the flower and bird market next week to get some meat and put it on the shelf at the back. By the way, do you want sunflowers? I just cut a few and put them in the pen holder. They are very pretty.
of."
"Cut some for me later and I'll take them back."
"I'll cut it longer for you. You can trim it yourself when you go back. Where is your daughter? Today is not Saturday?"
"Yunyun went to her dad's place, what did her grandparents think?" Ye Nan laughed sarcastically, "Now I know what I think about it. At the time of the divorce, she was so hateful that she regarded us mother and daughter as enemies.
"
"That's because he's stupid and can't tell the difference between good and bad." Jiang You opened the takeout bag, took out a piece of chicken wing and ate it.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight? I'll make braised pork and make some chicken soup to relieve the heat?"
"OK."
Ye Nan stood up and said, "Bring me the flowers. I'll go to the market first."
"Don't be too troublesome, just be casual."
"I'm leaving."
After Ye Nan left, Jiang You finished the takeaway. He sat on the soft chair and squinted for a while. When he woke up again, the sky had begun to darken.
He went upstairs and took a shower. Before leaving, he cut off the remaining sunflower branches on the flower stand, wrapped them casually in paper, and walked to Ye Nan's residence.
Ye Nan's home is not far from Cultural Street, just walk two streets and then cross an intersection.
Jiang You bought a watermelon and a bunch of grapes from the fruit shop at the entrance of the community.
He knocked on Ye Nan's door with flowers and fruits.
Opening the door, Ye Nan, who was wearing home clothes and an apron, smiled and welcomed Jiang You in. She took the fruits and flowers and placed them on the dining table, "Why are you being so polite to me? You sit down for a while, the food will be served soon."
good."
Jiang You sat down on the sofa.
He watched Ye Nan find a transparent vase, filled it with some water, and placed it on the dining table. After comparing the lengths, she slightly shortened the flower branches and put the flowers in. Then, she put the vase on Jiang You's table.
On the coffee table in front of you.
"Looking at it this way, I think it's much prettier than the few branches I have at home. See how good I am to you. I've left all the good-looking ones for you."
"What a mouth you have."
Ye Nan turned around and walked into the kitchen.
The aroma of food fills the air with the sound of frying in the pan.
Braised pork, luffa and edamame, scrambled egg with green pepper, black chicken soup.
Jiang You sat at the dining table and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Nan scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of him, "Try it."
Jiang You picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"How is it?" Ye Nan asked.
"Delicious, Sister Nan, you are really a good wife and mother." Jiang You finished the soup in two gulps, and then scooped another bowl for himself.
"Damn it, why don't you drink some wine?"
"Okay."
Ye Nan took out a bottle of Longshan rice wine. After she poured a small glass for Jiang You and herself, she sat down opposite Jiang You.
She picked up a piece of green pepper, put it in her mouth and chewed it, "I heard from someone in the management office today that there will be celebrities coming to Cultural Street to film next month. It seems to be a variety show."
"Not bad, it can bring about business for a while."
"Well, I heard that we are putting up posters. Why don't you try to see if any celebrity comes to your store to take pictures? Maybe it will become popular."
"Let me think about it, are you going to participate?"
Ye Nan shook her head, "The bookstore doesn't make any money now, it only relies on selling drinks. Yunyun is going to attend a European summer camp during the summer vacation, so I have to prepare some cash."
"She's only in fourth grade, right?"
"Yes, everyone in the class has gone. If she doesn't go, she will be isolated."
"Fortunately I don't have children."
"You are almost thirty, don't you think about personal matters?"
"It's useless for me to think about it," Jiang You took a piece of braised pork and took a bite, "Well, Sister Nan, your braised pork is really one of a kind."
"It's so delicious, just don't give me any leftovers."
"Don't underestimate me."
Jiang You took a sip of rice wine and looked up at Ye Nan. A few strands of hair were hanging on her cheeks. Her skin was fair and fair. Although it was not as full as that of a young woman, it had a bit more mature charm.
After nightfall.
Tang Butian and Taoist Qingyang ran into the empty venue.
Tang Butian led Taoist Qingyang to the open space, "This is it."
Taoist Qingyang looked around, "During the day?"
"Yes, near noon."
"She can appear during the day..."
Taoist Qingyang pondered for a moment, "Where is her birth date?"
Tang Butian took out an eight-character postcard from his bag and handed it to Taoist Qingyang.
Taoist Qingyang held the copybook in his hand. He walked with special steps, made gestures, and muttered words.
The copybook burned spontaneously.
Ash fell to the ground.
The surrounding space suddenly became pitch black.
Tang Butian looked cautiously at the many ghosts around him.
She heard Taoist Qingyang say: "She is not here, no, she is not anywhere..."
"How is that possible?"
Moonlight fell into Ye Nan's bedroom.
Shadows overlap.
