Chapter 46 IKEA IKEA 1
Wei Le fell asleep. Before going to bed, she was addicted to playing the little swallow. There was still a smile on her flushed face, and her breathing was long and even.At this time, she is more like a realistic doll, sweet and quiet, because there is a piece of her heart missing, and she will not be infected by the suffering of the world.

Chen Xi tore off the fake flowers from her head - she and Wei Jia were forced to join Wei Le's game.She thought they could become Ziwei and Erkang, but Wei Le said that one of them was Xiao Jian and the other was Rong Nanny.Xiao Jian was fine, most of the time he only held a sword and looked at the little Yanzi worryingly, but Nanny Rong had to give the struggling little Yanzi repeated needles, which almost exhausted her to death.

Wei Jia was in a hurry to put Wei Le to sleep, he said he had other things to do at night.After Chen Xi came out of the shower, Wei Jia's temporary room was dark, but the stable behind the house was lit with lights.She wanted to know what important business he was busy with, and walked over lightly, only to find that he was standing with his back to her, standing in front of the wooden cutting board that was usually used to place small tools.

Chen Xi wanted to play a prank, and when he got close, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him.Wei Jia said without looking back, "Be gentle...you are trying to scare me, not break me."

"It's boring. What are you doing?" Chen Xi saw what he was doing, and couldn't help laughing, "Your priority is summer homework? Studying hard in the stables, this kind of spirit is so touching."

Wei Jia took the book back from her hand and said, "Yesterday, our high school chemistry teacher approached me and said that there will be a chemistry competition in the city after school starts. I hope I can prepare for it. I haven't touched the book for most of the holiday. Just grind your guns in front of the battle."

"Why do you want to 'sharpen your gun' here?" After Chen Xi finished speaking, he remembered that the only desk in this house seemed to be in his room.She felt a little sorry: "You can go back to your room to read, I'm not sleepy, I'm going to the yard to enjoy the shade."

"It's okay." Wei Jia looked at the bay red horse lying not far away and said, "I just increased the dose of injection for it today, and I can observe its reaction after injection here."

Chen Xi knew that there was another subtext that they all knew by heart - it doesn't matter if you stay here for the time being, anyway, those who occupy the magpie's nest will leave tomorrow.

Chen Xi flipped through the notes in his hand, some of which were very familiar to her, while some she couldn't understand for a while.She is also a science student, and her father is a doctoral supervisor in the direction of materials and chemical engineering in the chemistry department of the university. Her aunt majored in biomedicine. It is not bragging to say that she comes from a family of chemical engineering.But looking at these learning materials, Chen Xi now has a particularly fresh and wonderful feeling: if it weren't for their reminders, she would have almost forgotten that Wei Jia is also a student who is about to enter the third year of high school like her.Before that, Wei Jia in her heart belonged to the horse, the pasture and livelihood, and the sister who depended on him.Only these exercise books and notes covered with his handwriting belonged to him, and they allowed him to return to the identity of an ordinary high school student.

According to Brother Yang, Wei Jia used to go to school in the city, but later transferred to a high school in the town because of family matters.His handwriting was very beautiful, his notes were neat and organized, and he didn't need to ask for grades. Chen Xi also knew that he would not be a bad student.

"My dad should like you very much. Well, you can consider applying for his current university in the future. Their chemical engineering department is also one of the best in China. I will let him accept you as a close student." Chen Xi half-jokingly said.

Wei Jia also smiled and did not speak.Because of its vagueness and emptiness, the future can be imagined freely.

Chen Xi sat on the small stone pier in front of the stable fence, Wei Jia could read anywhere, and she didn't have to be in the yard to enjoy the shade.Wei Jia didn't mean to chase her away, he just asked her if she didn't feel the smell here?

Chen Xi didn't dislike the smell of horses. The scent of musk and white flowers mixed with the smell of animals reminded her of a bottle of perfume said to be quite expensive on her mother's dressing table.Once she tried it on her wrist and was instantly skeptical of grown-up taste.Ms. Song Mingming said that it was the original hormonal smell, which she did not understand.

Neither of them spoke. Chen Xi chased away the small insects, and fell into the night mist amid the occasional snorting of the horse and the rustling of the pen tip.She saw the man on the horse coming towards her through the fog, looking down at her, his eyes were dark, the ink was wet on the whip in his hand, and the sweat hit the tip of her nose, she was tremblingly waiting for the warm, joyful and dirty Her scent enveloped her, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he faded into the mist.

"And said you're not sleepy."

Chen Xi opened his eyes, and Wei Jia's face was right in front of him.Shocked, she leaned her back against the wooden fence, only to realize that he had just bent over and placed something beside her.

"I squinted for a while. Have you finished your review?"

"Well. Just finish today's progress."

Wei Jia's books and materials were all put away, and there was a low stool at her feet at some point, with a disc on it, which contained chopped carrots, cucumbers and pears.

"What is this?" Chen Xi asked.

"You can take it as a fruit plate." Wei Jia sat on the haystack between her and the bay red horse, brushing the horse's mane every now and then.

Chen Xi had never seen such a fruit plate before, she cautiously pointed to the bay red horse and asked, "Is it for me, or for it?"

Wei Jia mumbled, and he said, "It's all right... Didn't you say that there should be a fruit bowl when looking at the moon."

Chen Xi ate a piece of pear and took a small piece of cucumber.The pears were grown in the yard of his house, and there were not many pears in total. Chen Xi seldom saw the fruit hanging on the treetops, and always wanted to pick it off and taste it, but Wei Jia said it was not yet ripe.The pear tasted astringent in her mouth, so he didn't lie to her.

Under the incandescent light in the stables, the peeled pears were white and shiny, not oxidized to yellow, perhaps soaked in light salt water.Carrots and cucumbers were also cut into beautiful shapes and placed neatly on the plate.What Chen Xi thought was, my God, how long has she been asleep?He is a person who goes to the racecourse early in the morning to take tourists, comes back in the afternoon to cook and wash dishes, and at night puts his sister to bed and feeds the horses and reads books. During her nap time, he made a "shared by people and horses" with local materials. The fruit plate actually has a display!
"You are so pure and hearty!" Chen Xi sighed sincerely.

"Can you change the word?" Wei Jia was not polite.

"Jiajia, Jiajia, Yishi IKEA!" Chen Xi stretched out his thumb to him, "People like you can live well no matter where they are, and the person who gets you in the future must be very lucky."

Wei Jia laughed and said, "I haven't felt that the word 'lucky' has something to do with me for a long time."

He spoke very easily, Chen Xi lowered his head.His ability to make others happy has been sacrificed to him, and has nothing to do with his own happiness.

However, Chen Xi was not a sentimental person, and she quickly pulled herself together and said, "There should be wine here!"

"I don't have alcohol at home."

"Liar. I obviously saw several bottles in the corner of the kitchen."

"...that's my dad's wine. Don't drink it, there is tuocha at home, if you are thirsty, I will make you a pot."

"Brother Yang said you can drink." Chen Xi asked with a half-smile, "Daoist, do you hate any behavior related to indulgence?"

"No, I just don't like to use alcohol as a tool for escapism like my dad did. Wouldn't it be better to save it for when you are happy? Drunk and happy drunk."

"Oh..." Chen Xi dragged his voice, "So it's not yet time. Tomorrow, I, who eats and drinks, is leaving. Isn't this a happy event for you?"

Wei Jia neither admitted nor denied it.

Chen Xi said angrily: "You are different from your father. Are you like your mother? She must be a very, very good person.

"She is a very useless person."

Wei Jia's answer was simply overwhelming.

Chen Xi said angrily: "People who chat with you will be depressed, I can't say anything."

Wei Jia smiled and gently pushed the back of her head.This was the first time he took the initiative to make physical contact with Chen Xi, she pursed her lips and laughed.As usual, Wei Jia's words were stopped for the sake of this. It was always Chen Xi who opened the topic, and he continued to talk, pointing to the end.As Brother Yang said, Jiajia is polite to everyone he sees, making it difficult for others to find fault with him, and it is difficult for others to have a deep friendship with him.

Unexpectedly, he slowed down this time, and continued: "My mother was smart and hardworking since she was a child, and she was also a top-notch person. Life was not easy in those days. My grandparents died early, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family. As a mother, she also takes care of her younger siblings with all her heart and never complains. The family cannot afford several children to go to school together, and when her younger siblings cry, her heart softens, and she voluntarily drops out of high school, even though she is the one with the best grades in the family. One. She worked as a farmer at home to support a large family, and her younger siblings didn’t learn well, so she wasted her best years and married my father when she was an old girl in the eyes of the country people.”

"I heard that your father was also a very capable person before, and your mother has a good vision."
