Chen Mufeng stopped what he was doing and suddenly turned his head and smiled at Xiaojing.
He had a nice smile, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all. It was as if after these short 2 or 3 minutes, he had turned back into the Mu Feng who loved her before. He was really strong, maybe after years of special combat
Life has taught him to control his emotions freely, leaving the good side to her and the bad and depressed side to himself.
Seeing the fright in her expression, he stood up and took a step forward. He stretched out his big palm, grabbed the back of her head and pushed her into the door. Xiaojing was very close to him, so close that he could feel her.
His breathing and heartbeat seemed normal, but it made her feel more ashamed and uneasy.
"Mu Feng..."
He pressed his finger on her lips, looked at her level with his deep eyes. He sighed slightly and said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiaojing, I scared you."
"No. It's my fault. I didn't consider your feelings." She apologized sincerely.
He shook his head: "You are very good, Xiaojing, you have done your best. It's me, I'm not ready yet, I have some concepts..." He scratched his head and showed a bitter smile: "It still takes time to change."
He held her face in his hands, and her charming eyes were locked in his eyes like black grapes soaked in water. "I am a man, and I want to rely on my ability to give you a warm home. It may not be called spacious.
, let alone luxury, but it is the gift I want to give you, and it is a harbor for us to rest in the future, Xiaojing, you believe I can do it."
She was deeply moved: "Yes, I believe you." She hugged his waist tightly.
The two snuggled together quietly for a while. Chen Mufeng rubbed her hair and asked with a smile: "Whatever you want to eat, my husband will cook it for you."
Yao Xiaojing thought about it seriously, raised her face and said, "Don't be bored at home, let's go visit the night markets in old Beijing."
Mu Feng said yes. After the two got married, except for supermarkets and shopping malls, they almost never went out to visit Beijing at night.
"Going to Donghuamen?" The gourmet night market street in Donghuamen is a sacred place in the hearts of old Beijingers. It was a snack street that existed in the 1980s. At that time, it was a good place for everyone to try Beijing snacks. A few bucks
Money can make people eat to their heart's content. Things like fried tripe, stewed and roasted, fried liver, enema, and authentic mutton skewers can really whet people's appetite. But with the development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, here
The things gradually become unrecognizable, and the taste and feel are also very different. There are fewer and fewer old Beijing snacks in Donghuamen, but more and more nondescript and deceptive things.
"Instead of going to Donghuamen, let's go to Guijie Street in Dongzhimen." Yao Xiaojing's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Guijie?" Chen Mufeng has heard of it, but has never been there. According to the magazine, Guijie is said to be a "ghost market" from old Beijing. In the early years, Dongzhimen mainly sold groceries, vegetables and fruits. The market opened in the middle of the night and dispersed at dawn.
The stall owners used kerosene lamps to light their lights, and they looked ghostly in the distance. After the market tide began, many restaurants slowly appeared on both sides of Dongzhimen Inner Street, and the restaurants here were rarely visited during the day, but at night they were bustling with people.
There was a lot of traffic, and most shops stayed open until three or four o'clock in the morning or even all night long, so it was also called "Ghost Street". Later, because the word "ghost" was not elegant, people replaced it with the homonymous word "簋".
Named "Guijie".
"Well, where can I find the authentic Beijing delicacies that I want to eat?" Yao Xiaojing recounted her treasures, including spicy crayfish, stewed trotters, and goat's jellyfish. She especially longed for Guijie Street on a midsummer night, where even at four o'clock in the morning, there were still many people.
There are a lot of people, and at a glance, the streets are full of red signs and lanterns. The dazzling red light, combined with the aroma of spicy vegetables in the air, really makes people feel more energetic as they get later.
Chen Mufeng looked at her salivating look and said jokingly: "With just the two of us, can we eat so much food?"
"Yes, for the two of us, even if you share my three portions, we still can't finish the meal." There are too few people at the night market and it's not interesting. Yao Xiaojing also understands this. She racked her brains and thought for a long time.
He simply slapped his thigh and said, "Yes... Look at me!"
After a phone call, she actually called two people who were dizzy after being in the hospital - Kang Wei and Gu Mengmeng.
Kangwei recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital. When Yao Xiaojing mentioned Guijie, Conway later said that Gu Mengmeng's eyes turned green at that time. They were the sisters who did most of the night shopping.
bad thing".
Especially the scene when they went to Guijie Street to "spoil the night", where everyone ate crayfish and sang happily until early morning. They respected it as the ultimate happiness on earth and it was their favorite in life. I remember that in addition to Gu Xiaoxi, their allies at that time were also
There were several other tall people in the compound, both men and women. A group of people were sitting around a roadside stall on a midsummer night, with several large pots of lobsters, lobsters, and boiled fish that were delicious in color and flavor. Each person
After a big batch of Yanjing beer, they started chatting with each other. From the principles of governing the country to the personal love life, they often "fought" until early in the morning. There was no need to worry about safety, because they were already waiting to pick them up.
The military-brand vehicle returning home was waiting across the street. I drank until four or five in the morning. I was really sleepy. Everyone ate some light steamed buns and tofu bread, and then everyone went back to their own cars and drove far away. Basically, it was done.
I took on a mission to "clean up the night" in Guijie.
Today, Guijie has also changed.
In the past, the stalls facing the street have been replaced by various small storefronts, and the summer food sellers who carried burdens and hawked food along the street in my memory have almost disappeared. Only the diners coming and going, adding to the lively atmosphere of the past.
came out.
"They are coming!" Chen Mufeng had excellent eyesight. Among the bustling crowd, he first spotted Kang Wei and Gu Mengmeng walking towards each other, supporting each other.
Yao Xiaojing saw Kangwei wearing a hood, completely losing his usual arrogance, and couldn't help but smile at Gu Mengmeng with such joy...
Sitting down at a famous crayfish restaurant, Yao Xiaojing ordered a variety of specialties and suddenly said to the waiter: "Please give that gentleman an empty bowl." She pointed to a certain headdress who was drooling while looking at the lobsters.
