The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 54

ring

Sure enough, just as Liang Qian said yesterday, when Shen Luo got up, he was the only one left here. Only the tulips placed on his pillow reminded him that last night was not a dream. Although the petals had been polished into shape, they were still carefully cared for in his hands.

At this moment, he was half-supported on the bed, and the metallic touch from his fingers made him notice this special birthday gift. Yesterday, he only took a cursory glance at it in the thick light, and he roughly judged that it was the same as An Yu’s bracelet.

It was only when I held it in the sunlight today that I could see clearly that the ring was exactly the same as the bracelet on An Yu’s wrist. It was like a smaller version of the bracelet, and there was a pattern engraved inside. Shen Luo couldn’t see the shape. It seemed incomplete, like a semi-finished product, and like it had been split in the middle.

He put it on his finger and held it up carefully. He looked at the ring with joy. He didn’t know what he thought of and couldn’t help but giggle.

From that day on, Shen Luo would stare at the ring for a long time every day, and as he looked at it, he saw New Year’s Eve.

That was the last time An Yu saw him this year.

After a few days, Shen Luo became more and more round, and his originally thin chin actually had some flesh on it. An Yu always liked to scrape the flesh on his chin with her hands, because the flesh there was very soft and elastic, and Shen Luo would retract his chin into his collar before he started.

“The market is busy today, let’s go shopping.”

An Yu nodded and walked towards the car. Shen Luo pulled him and smiled and said, “It’s not far away. It’s just a walk away.”

Shen Luo walked very honestly, with a kind of haste as if no one was watching, and An Yu tried to keep pace with him as much as possible.Passing by the canteen at the head of the village, a table of mahjong was set up at the door, causing people from several households in the surrounding area to crane their necks to watch the game. During this period, many people wanted to drive the person involved away and play on their own.

Perhaps the too much movement attracted attention, Shen Luo’s steps slowed down, he only glanced casually and left.

“No train has passed on the train track over there for a long time.” Shen Luo pointed to the empty wheat field. Although the overgrown weeds around the concrete railings were not enough to cover it, it also made people know that it seemed to have been deserted for a long time.

“Liang Qian and I even climbed up to watch the train. It was very loud.”

Shen Luo kept chattering along the way, and soon his voice was suppressed by the shouts of the street vendors.

It’s just past noon, and many people like to walk around the streets to satisfy their hunger after eating. Even if they don’t plan to buy anything, they will come over to take a look, and chat with each other from time to time.

“As I passed by, I saw a family heirloom kitchen knife, which is not a problem for chopping steel pipes, and pork bones, beef bones, and mutton bones are not worth mentioning.”

…

A rumble interrupted their progress, and a layer of white mist suddenly covered their eyes. The sweet smell would still stop them no matter how many times they smelled it.

“This is really interesting. You can watch it for a long time without even realizing it.”

An Yu tied up the scattered scarf for him and said, “Have you never tried it?”

Shen Luo said disappointedly: “No.”

“Want to try?”

After saying this, An Yu stepped forward to discuss with the old man. Before Shen Luo could hold him back, An Yu knelt down and whispered a few words to the old man. The old man’s brows furrowed at the beginning but turned into a smile when he looked at Shen Luo.

An Yu stood there and raised her eyebrows at him, motioning for him to stand over.

“Really or not?”

Although he didn’t quite believe it, he couldn’t hide the excitement in his tone. An Yu said gently: “As long as you want to do something, it’s not difficult.”

An Yu covered Shen Luo’s ears, and kissed him directly while outsiders couldn’t see clearly. The sweetness of popcorn filled her lips and teeth. Shen Luo wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

The two separated lingeringly, and their vision quickly returned to clarity.Shen Luo sat on the pony under the guidance of his grandfather, his white fingers tightly holding the handle.

The old man’s voice was rich and full of vicissitudes, while instructing him, and at the same time demonstrating to him personally.

“Just put him up and keep spinning.”

Shen Luo put the popcorn machine on the stove and started spinning it in circles. An Yu stood close behind him. Shen Luo relaxed and leaned on his lap. The old man was not idle either, his eyes kept spinning back and forth between them and the popcorn machine.

When Grandpa Time stood up, he asked him to move the popcorn machine over.

“Put it in the mouth of this bag, step on it firmly with your feet, and pull it hard.”

Shen Luo closed his eyes and pulled hard and almost fell down. Fortunately, he stopped in time. After putting down the machine, he excitedly ran to the end of the bag and poured out all the popcorn inside.

It was already six o’clock when the two of them came back from shopping the whole street. The flow of people on the street continued unabated. Shen Luo’s stomach had already growled, but he was afraid that Anyu would not be safe driving after dark, so he endured his hunger and asked him to go back earlier.
