Xu Xilin ignored Dou Xun for half a month. He used to stay at home with Dou Xun, but now he leaves early every day and comes home late every day without seeing a single person. He even invited the hourly worker aunt back to cook - ever since Xu Xilin was able to cook homely meals.

As long as he is at home, the hourly worker does not need to come.

The two of them usually quarrel, but they have never had a cold war with each other. The main reason is that Xu Xilin is not so angry about trivial matters. He will solve the problem by himself after calming down, and Dou Xun never has to worry about it. But one day suddenly, Xu Xilin

Not wanting to solve the problem anymore, Dou Xun was confused.

At first, Dou Xun hated Xu Xilin as much as Dou Junliang. However, the hatred based on temporary anger lacked a foundation. He calmed down a little and soon disappeared in his anxiety.

Xu Xilin sometimes came back late, so he didn't even go upstairs and slept in Xu Jin's old study. One day, he went upstairs to get something in the middle of the night. His footsteps were very light, but he still alerted Dou Xun, who had left the door open.

Xun's first reaction when he was half asleep was to jump up and rush to the door, where he happened to be face to face with Xu Xilin, who had taken a blanket and was about to go downstairs to sleep.

Xu Xilin glanced at him and paused slightly, as if he wanted to hear what he had to say. Unfortunately, Dou Xun failed to seize the opportunity and lost his temper at the critical moment. He was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

Xu Xilin hugged the blanket, took it to the door, and went downstairs without looking back.

Unlike Dou Xun, Xu Xilin's anger comes and goes quickly. Although Xu Xilin is temporarily angry about many things, most of them don't take it to heart. If they really take it to their heart, it will not be easy to clear them out.

If Dou Xun could take the initiative to show his kindness, he would be willing to remain rational and stand down to listen. Unfortunately, Dou Xun didn't seem to have unlocked this feature.

Xu Xilin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and was in no mood to coax Dou Xun. Besides, he was always accommodating to him, even doing something intimate occasionally. He was really tired.

Xu Xilin was very upset by Dou Xun. It happened that Dou Xun didn't bother him these days, so he simply spared time and energy to do something serious - the things sold in their school's education supermarket were very expensive, especially the fruit, which was wilted, not

Fresh ones are all mixed in, and the price is about 20% higher than the market price.

However, the location is unique. Students go back to their dormitories after class and want to eat some fruit. They are usually too lazy to go outside the school to pick and choose. They usually just buy a few when passing by the education supermarket. Anyway, the quality of school life is not high.

If I'm so hungry at night, I can eat pickled cucumber slices with gusto, and stale fruit won't matter either.

Xu Xilin saw some business opportunities in this. He planned to contact a few classmates from the computer school next door and made a very simple small website. He also visited the fruit supermarkets and fruit stalls within three kilometers of the school entrance and selected a few.

Be a good partner.

Recently, more and more students are bringing computers to school, and network cables have been installed in the dormitories in batches. At that time, they can directly order fresh fruits online, and after ordering, find someone to deliver them to their dormitory building. In addition to delivery, they can also provide peeling and peeling services.

Cutting service saves a bunch of princesses and emperors who have just left home from having to use fruit knives.

Business planning is easy to figure out. There are creative visionaries all over the world. If you go to a coffee shop, you will hear a lot of good ideas. Unfortunately, ideas alone are not enough.

Xu Xilin started thinking about what he would do when he finished the college entrance examination and started thinking about it for a semester - first, how to publicize it, how to make classmates accept and get used to this thing, and secondly, when someone places an order, who will deliver the fruit? Fruit stall

The boss will definitely not do it, so we need to find someone to do it. Who? How much will it cost? And if the business is booming, how can we send so many students in the school? Is the profit enough to hire someone? And the most important thing is,

The school strictly prohibits boys from entering the female dormitory. If it cannot recruit female delivery persons, how will it be delivered to girls? And how to ensure the preservation of fruits, especially cut fruits? Wait, wait... Xu Xilin is making preliminary preparations.

While working, I was very busy solving possible problems one by one.

As soon as he got busy, time went faster. Xu Xilin used his house as a time hotel for most of the winter vacation, and showed up on the night of New Year's Eve.

The family prepared a lot of New Year's goods, but the New Year was not lively. Even the gray parrots sensed the bad atmosphere at home and stopped talking too much. They flew back to the shelves early and concentrated on eating melon seeds.

Xu Xilin ordered the New Year's Eve dinner from outside more than a month in advance. He originally wanted to make dumplings with his grandmother Dou Xun to join in the fun, but as the New Year approached, he was not in the mood at all, so he simply cooked a bag of frozen dumplings to make up for the meal.

The New Year's Eve dinner ordered a month in advance was very sumptuous, but none of my family members had much appetite, so the sum was very pitiful, so I ate it hastily and then left.

Grandma was getting old and lacked energy. The language programs at the Spring Festival Gala were basically based on northern dialects. She only listened to the general meaning and couldn't keep up with the jokes. After a while, she felt bored, so she went back to the house and took two

A red envelope came out and each person gave one.

"You should put it under the pillow when you sleep at night," grandma told her naggingly. "You guys are old enough to let you grow up slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

Although young people around the age of 20 can still receive lucky money, they often do not accept it with peace of mind, always feeling embarrassed that they are too old to be young.

Dou Xun glanced at Xu Xilin subconsciously. Xu Xilin was also quite embarrassed and coughed dryly: "Grandma, you are such an adult, this..."

"Take it, take it," Grandma Xu slapped the red envelope on his forehead without any explanation. "The new year is off to a good start, so you have to keep the new year's money. If you can't hold back the little man's age, won't the old man have to go?"

Xu Xilin: "..."

Stop talking nonsense, just accept it.

Grandma Xu stuffed another red envelope to Dou Xun, stretched out her hand and tapped his forehead: "Such an adult - how old is he? How old is he who can be angry every minute and make peace every minute? I don't think I can see that.

, This year’s idleness cannot be carried over to next year. Collect the red envelopes, smile quickly, and stop arguing, do you hear me?”

While Dou Xun was embarrassed, he kept secretly looking at Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin had no expression on his face and just responded. Grandma Xu nodded and went to rest. Xu Xilin watched her settle down and dimmed the lights in the living room.

, the TV volume was lowered, and when he turned around, he saw Dou Xun staring at him nervously.

Dou Xun was in a state of confusion. At first he couldn't let go and didn't want to bow his head first. But later he didn't know how to bow his head anymore and had to resign himself to his fate and wait for Xu Xilin to speak. Xu Xilin lowered his head and thought for a while, then tore open a bag of happy things on the table.

As a result, he grabbed a small handful and gave it to the gray parrot, and handed the rest to Dou Xun.

In Dou Xun's heart, the three-story-high boulder hit him back to the ground with a bang - Xu Xilin finally handed him a step, which was considered a reconciliation.

Grandma was asleep, but they still had to stay up late at the party.

The New Year celebrations in urban areas are very boring. People outside are making noises all day long, saying that the ban on firecrackers is going to be lifted, but they still have no idea. On New Year’s Eve, the community is still quiet. When Xu Xilin was a child, Aunt Du would buy a lot of "Happy"

"Ball" - a very small balloon - the whole family helped him blow up during the day, and let him crush it on New Year's Eve, which was regarded as a cannon. Later, when he grew up, he canceled such childish games, and on New Year's Eve

It gets quieter every year.

It was so quiet that Xu Xilin fell asleep half-lying on the sofa after a while.

Dou Xun quietly took a blanket to cover him, and then sat quietly on the side. After sitting for a while, he carefully clasped Xu Xilin's hand spread out on one side. Xu Xilin's fingers were covered with thin calluses.

The warmth in the palm of your hand is a temperature that makes people addicted.

After a while, Xu Xilin's neck felt uncomfortable because he was nestled on the sofa. He thought he was in bed. He turned over so much that he almost fell. Dou Xun hugged him and put him in his arms. Xu Xilin

In fact, when he woke up, his eyes fell on the coffee table next to the sofa. The water in the glass was illuminated by the TV light, and the sound of the Spring Festival Overture came from the TV, and he was reading New Year's greetings from all over the world.

Xu Xilin didn't move. He was stunned for a while and then closed his eyes.

Year after year, the New Year's bell rang, and mobile phones became lively like fake corpses. Someone outside used a car horn as a cannon, and suddenly became popular in the cold night. Xu Xilin got up half asleep, without looking at who it was, and finished

As if on a mission, I replied "Thank you, happy together" to everyone.

Dou Xun coldly hugged him from behind, kissed him gently on the side of his neck, and whispered, "Happy New Year."

Xu Xilin hesitated for a moment: "...Hmm."

The old year is gone and the new year has begun.

On the first day of the New Year, Xu Xilin went back upstairs to sleep.

After every quarrel, Dou Xun's performance became very good. He agreed to everything he said. His whole person seemed to be malfunctioning. He was extremely gentle and even his harshness would be downgraded. He even initially learned to "seek common ground while reserving differences."

” - He briefly disobeyed his nature of digging deep into everything and trying to figure it out, and took the initiative to suppress the events of that day and never mentioned them again.

Xu Xilin stayed at home for a few days, and the atmosphere became peaceful. The gray parrot, which was very good at reading people's faces, became active again and started the "bagging" mode again, which continued all day long.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year gradually faded away. The vendors on the street also started to operate, and the printing shop also reopened. Xu Xilin was about to start the business that he had not had time to finish before. He made an appointment to meet in the morning. He got up.

I woke up early and planned to leave quietly and return quickly. When I was changing my shoes at the door, a voice came from above my head unexpectedly: "Want to go out?"

When Xu Xilin raised his head, Dou Xun was looking at him on the stairs.

Dou Xun seemed to have a good ear. Xu Xilin wondered if he had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and turned a blind eye like an owl. He would know if there was any trouble on his side. This made him feel unhappy as if he was being watched——

Especially when he didn't want to alarm Dou Xun.

Seeing him nodding, Dou Xun wanted to ask more, "What are you going to do?", but the "honeymoon period" of walking on thin ice had not passed yet, so he did not dare to ask too much. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "I'll be back at noon."

?"

Xu Xilin: "Go back in the evening."

Dou Xun: "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it."

"Anything is fine," Xu Xilin finished, and finally explained, "I plan to make a fruit-selling website next semester, and I will go to the printing factory to look at promotional materials in a few years."

After hearing his explanation, Dou Xun's slightly tense expression suddenly relaxed.

"I have a blueprint in my house, you can look at it." Xu Xilin followed his expression and spoke much more briskly, "I will deliver the tubes, cut them into pieces, and charge a small fee for running errands."

Dou Xun naturally had no feelings about business. However, after listening to it, he neither poured cold water on it nor raised any sharp questions. He even said encouragingly: "That's good. If I take over your school in the future, I can also come to Liberate."

We, the people in the occupied areas, have had enough of peeled apples."

Xu Xilin smiled at him, waved and left.

Dou Xun was like a grass that shines brightly when given some sunshine. He immediately felt happy and became very interested in "fruit". At that time, he went downstairs, peeled two apples, cut them into small pieces and placed them on two small

On the plate, I gave one to my grandmother and shared the rest with the bird.

At this time, his phone vibrated. Dou Xun picked it up and saw that it was a bank balance reminder.

Dou Junliang and Zhu Xiaocheng would give him a living allowance every year before and after the Chinese New Year. The two were very in tune with each other, and they were often at odds with each other. After they divorced, Dou Junliang married his favorite girl with big breasts and no brains. Zhu Xiaocheng took the divorce

After receiving a large amount of property, she returned home in triumph and became a quiet and wealthy American nun.

However, although the two of them were unreliable, Dou Xun's living expenses were always paid on time. Even on Dou Xun's birthday, Zhu Xiaocheng, the mother, would send him an extra sum of money.

Then Dou Junliang called, saying that it was Chinese New Year and he wanted to ask him to come out and have a meal together as a family.

Dou Xun almost wanted to laugh. He had been making trouble for a long time at Mr. Dou's place. The seventh day of the lunar month was the New Year's Eve.

Even though we are "one family", we don't know who is a family with whom.

Normally, Dou Xun would ignore such unreasonable requests, but in the past few days, his temperament had been completely smoothed by Xu Xilin, and he was no longer proficient in the business of teasing others. Before he could say anything, Dou Junliang had already made his own move.
