The car lights in the distance gradually came closer, and the car slowly stopped in front of her.
Gu Anran raised her hand to block the dazzling light. After hearing the car door ring, Mo Bei's deep voice fell into her ears.
"Have you just come back?"
Gu Anran put down his hand and squinted at Mo Bei, who was shrouded in the car lights. Under the background of the car lights, one of his legs was stretched longer. Even though he was wearing thick cotton clothes, he still couldn't hide his golden proportions.
.
"Yeah. I just came back too." Seeing Mo Bei, Gu Anran's empty heart became full. It was as if the darkness in the shadow of the tree had dissipated, and she was no longer afraid at all.
Mo Bei came over and took her hand, waving his other hand in the direction of the cab. Feng Heng pressed the horn and reversed the car and left.
Mo Bei took out the key and opened the door, pulled her into the house, and while taking off his chilly coat, he said to her apologetically, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm still too late to come back."
Ever since Kang Tiantian had an accident under the tree in front of their house, Mo Bei would rush home before Gu Anran got out of school in the past few days, fearing that he would be scared if she didn't see him when she came back. I was afraid that something had caught his feet today, and he really couldn't.
Get away from yourself.
"It's okay, it's not too late." Gu Anran changed out of his light-colored cotton jacket and put on a dark-colored jacket, "I'll go to the kitchen and cook some noodles."
Gu Anran's neck suddenly felt tight. It was Mo Bei's hand that grabbed her collar and pulled her back, "I brought back mutton slices. We are eating hotpot mutton in the house today."
Gu Anran's eyes lit up when he heard there was mutton to eat. The meals at school at noon were as vegetarian as raising rabbits. In addition to stewing cabbage and potatoes every day, they would simply make something to eat when they got home in the evening.
Mo Bei checked the water in the thermos. The water was no longer hot, but still warm. He filled a hot water bottle with the warm water and stuffed it into Gu Anran's arms. "Hold it and sit on the bed."
Come on, I'll light the stove."
Gu Anran didn't know how to light the stove. Seeing that the briquettes were almost finished burning, she could put some briquettes in it, but she couldn't light the stove.
No matter how busy he was, he couldn't ignite the briquettes. In the end, Mo Bei had to take out the unburned briquettes and dry firewood and start burning them again.
She was unconvinced and tried several times before, but failed every time, and finally gave in.
Fortunately, Mo Bei filled the thermos with boiling water before leaving in the morning. If he came back late and she felt cold, she could just fill a hot water bottle and sit on the bed, which would not be too hard.
"Okay." She was not polite, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, covering her legs with a quilt, holding a hot water bottle and leaning on a pile of folded quilts, watching Mo Bei rush in and out.
There was no one at home all day, and the fire in the stove had long been extinguished. He took out the ashes from the stove and poured them into a bucket outside the door. He also took cloth strips and firewood from the yard to start the fire.
The match "stung" and lit up a small flame. The small flame came close to a ball of rag strips in Mo Bei's hand. The chemical fiber cloth strips had an unpleasant smell when they burned. Mo Bei only saw the flames jumping up.
He let go of his hand and the burning cloth fell into the furnace. Mo Bei immediately took a few more firewood and threw them into the furnace and closed the lid.
Then Mo Bei stood up and opened the door a small gap to let the pungent smell of the room escape quickly.
About three or two minutes later, he heard the fire in the stove getting hotter, and Mo Bei raised the lid again and added a few briquettes inside.
When the briquettes were put in, the layer of soot on the briquettes was washed up by the heat wave, and puffs of black smoke were emitted, and then a small "sizzling" sound was heard as the briquettes were ignited.
After a few more minutes, the briquettes were wrapped in fire, black and red. When the lid was lifted, flames came out of the furnace mouth. The stove was considered ready.
Gu Anran was lying comfortably, watching Mo Bei busy, but his mind had long been far away.
She suddenly thought of Mo Tingting, who had not heard from her for many days. How were she and Zhang Xiaowei living now?
Even though Mo Bei didn't mention her on weekdays, how could he not be thinking about her?
She has lived longer than Mo Tingting, has met all kinds of people, and can see people more accurately than she does. Zhang Xiaowei gives people a sour and lazy sense of déjà vu, and his eyes are wandering and sometimes showing disdain, no
A good man worth trusting...
Mo Bei went to the kitchen again and brought an iron pot filled with water and sat on the stove. He took out the chopped mutton slices from the bag and placed them on the table next to him. He also arranged the bowls, chopsticks and small stools, and then asked Gu Anran to come down and prepare.
Eat hotpot mutton.
The two of them were eating hot-pot meat around the stove, and the house was filled with the delicious smell.
Gu Anran's originally fair face was roasted in the stove and turned red, like an attractive red apple. Mo Bei wanted to take a bite when he saw it.
Mo Bei looked away from Gu Anran's face, took a few pieces of meat and rinsed it in a boiling iron pot. When the mutton changed color, he immediately took it out and put it into Gu Anran's bowl. She immediately frowned.
He said, "You eat yours, I still have half a bowl of meat in my bowl."
"Is it delicious?" Mo Bei looked at her lovingly and said, "Dad specially cut this meat and asked me to bring it to you. He said that you work hard in school and use your brain a lot, so you need to supplement your nutrition.
I have benefited from you, so you have to eat more."
"Have you returned to the village today?" Gu Anran raised his eyes in surprise.
"Yeah. The road in the village was completed today. I went back to check it." Mo Bei said with a smile.
"The road is repaired? Great! It will be much more convenient for us to transport medicinal materials on the mountain!" Gu Anran's eyes were filled with joy, and he asked again, "I asked you to register for the driving school test, did you go?"
The road home has been repaired. Of course, you must have a car in hand. Wouldn't it be more convenient to go back to the village? If you don't worry about gas money, you can go back every day!
"Here we go." Mo Bei pointed to a canvas bag hanging on the hanger at the door, "That's a book the master from the driving school gave me. It's a book on car repair techniques and traffic laws. Just being able to drive is not enough. You have to memorize the traffic laws."
You must be familiar with basic car repair skills before you can take the exam."
"..." The corner of Gu Anran's mouth twitched. She thought it was easy. She thought the driving test would be easier in this era, but it turned out to be more difficult.
"Then I won't take the exam now. I'm still busy with school stuff. I'll study after I have the summer vacation."
Studying is the most important thing right now. I just borrowed last semester’s notes from Ma Mengdie, so I have to hurry up and finish them. Those who fall behind others must catch up in the final exam.
"Then I'll take the time to study. I'll learn how to repair cars and come back to teach you."
"OK."
After eating, Mo Bei put away the tableware and boiled water, filling the kettle at home. Gu Anran sat at the table, leaning over to write something under the dim light of the light bulb above his head.
Mo Bei thought she was studying and didn't dare to disturb her. After washing her feet, he overlapped the quilts of the two of them and warmed her bed in advance.
The young man's firepower was strong, and soon the bed was warm. He turned to look at her, and she was still writing seriously...
His hand quietly reached under his pillow, and there was a small square box underneath. He rubbed his fingers on the box, staring at his wife's pretty profile, thinking in his mind: Can it be used tonight?
