After the outbreak, a large number of small companies in Xuancheng died, traffic was blocked and many people were laid off. My studio managed to survive. After school started, teachers and students arrived as scheduled. Although several students left because they had to make up the culture class, most of them attended classes normally. A teacher in my sister's dance classroom resigned temporarily, just as her college classmates also resigned and divorced, and she was more free. My sister invited her to come here from her city every weekend to give lessons to her sister's dance classroom. According to my sister, Feifei doesn't like driving. Although she has a car and goes to Xuancheng not far away, she always takes the bus. When Feifei came, she lived in our house and my sister's room. Sometimes my sister will come back to live with Feifei after class. In college, they were best friends in a dormitory, wearing a skirt and eating a bowl of rice. She comes to class every Friday and goes back on Monday morning. My sister wants Feifei to stay here all the time, but Feifei says she has a little daughter at home. Although I am with a man, I still have to take care of her in class. The two separated, but their love for their children remained the same. She also hopes that her daughter can grow up healthily and happily.
?
I especially like meeting Feifei for the first time. What kind of girl is this? Because of dancing, Feifei is slender and has a unique temperament. She looks good in clothes, a pair of phoenix eyes always smiling, and a pair of beautiful hands. In fact, the main reason is that Feifei's cooking is delicious. My parents are often away from home. When I don't go out to eat, Feifei will come to my studio to cook, which is much more delicious than my sister's cooking. Since Feifei came, I have the luck to eat every weekend. I used to argue with my sister about all kinds of trivial things, but with Feifei, our relationship is much better. Sometimes my annoying sister and nagging sister get better. I'm curious, why did such a beautiful girl get divorced? If I were a man, I would like such a woman.
?
My sister's dance classroom and my studio have no classes every Saturday afternoon. We ran around Xuancheng, my sister took Feifei to eat, drink and have fun, and I joined in the fun. Three women look at food and flowers together, looking for the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, and sometimes go shopping to catch a play.
?
My studio has a big kitchen and a teahouse, which is our private club. When we are free, my sister's friends or my friends or our friends will cook and have dinner together. At a dinner party on Saturday, one of my old classmates, Ma Dawei, learned that Feifei went to Xuancheng from Wucheng every week. He said that he also traveled back and forth between the two cities during that time. He said that his wife and children have moved to Xuancheng to work and go to school, and his job is still in Wucheng. In this way, he often came back from last year, and we had more dinners together, because Lao Ma is also a good cook and especially eats! Hard-working, always the chef. After he was busy, he cooked a big table of dishes. He said Feifei wouldn't take the bus in the future, and she would pick it up for free.
?
I joked that Comrade Ma Lao finally did a good thing, and I was happy for Feifei. She won't have to change buses to attend classes in the future.
? Since then, the old horse has really kept his promise. Except for occasional business trips, he picks up Feifei every week. With two chefs here, we have more time to eat together and more old horses to chat with. I think people who really love you pay with their heart and ask for nothing in return. Feifei said that the old horse really didn't need a fare, and it was especially punctual. At first, she gave the fare several times, but he didn't want it. Later, she stopped giving it. From the first cup of milk tea Feifei bought for Ma Lao in the spring to Ma Lao, she changed her ways to buy snacks and small gifts for Ma Lao, and sometimes for Ma Lao's son and daughter-in-law. The old horse also pays special attention to Feifei. Feifei likes to sleep in the car on the way back. The old horse specially prepared cushions and thin blankets. I learned that Feifei likes the smell of jasmine. Since then, the old horse's car has jasmine fragrance. Ma Lao has a happy family. I know he won't do anything excessive because of his family, but it's only been more than half a year. Because of knowing Feifei, Ma Lao seems to be ten years younger. Feifei is three years older than Lao Ma, but Feifei looks much younger than Lao Ma. My sister is four years older than me, shorter and thinner than me. Because of dancing, they are especially good at makeup. They both look younger than me, compared with me who has been unkempt for years.
? Once the old horse was drunk and didn't chat with me. He said that in Wucheng, he was often alone. When he is lonely or drunk, he especially wants to be with Feifei, even if he just sits for a cup of tea and chats, or takes a walk. Feifei tacitly invited the old horse to her place for dinner. Anyway, one person is eating, and the food for two people tastes better. I didn't know there was such a good girl in this world until I went to Feifei's house. Feifei not only cooks delicious food, but also tidies up the house like a garden, playing the piano and singing at home, which is full of earthly fireworks, but it seems that she doesn't eat earthly fireworks. Ma Lao said he was just a layman, and we were all artists. He said Feifei is gentle, firm and confident, and her life is still in good order. She is out of tune with the secular world. The old horse thinks she is as beautiful as a flower and as holy as an angel. She is so pure and beautiful, without a trace of dust and tacky, but she is not coquettish and pure as a lotus. After that, Feifei changed the light bulb and repaired the water pipe at home, and the old horse did it without telling himself. Lao Ma said that he had met Feifei's ex-husband twice. He knew that that vulgar man was not worthy of Feifei except money. Her daughter is as beautiful as her and as big as the old horse's son. Later, I heard Feifei say that they divorced because the man cheated.
? Feifei's hometown is in the south. I married Wu Cheng for love because I was in love with my ex-husband. But the initial love didn't last long, and the man abandoned her. He has only his daughter in this city. One weekend, Feifei didn't come to class, and her sister said that she was hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. I said, what should she do alone? People especially need company when they are sick. Shall we go and see her? My sister said that the old horse was with her. I didn't know until I asked the old horse. He lied to his wife about working overtime and didn't come back. In fact, she is taking care of Feifei. I'm a little worried, but my worry is unnecessary. Everyone's life is beyond the control of others.
?
? I'm afraid that old horse will fall. Feifei is really a lovely woman. I like it very much. I know the old horse likes it, and even the children in my sister's dance class especially like Miss Feifei. Because Feifei came to class, my sister's dance class was full for half a year.
? Feifei knows I like fish. There is a shop in Wucheng that makes hairtail delicious. She often brings it to me, buys flowers and brings good tea to my studio. I don't think anyone deserves such a woman!
? I thought we were going to keep doing this. We can live a simple and beautiful life together. If I have a chance to find a date for Feifei in Xuancheng, she really doesn't have to go. But after all, we are just eat drink man woman.
?
Six months later, Feifei told her sister that she could not replace her because she was going to the south, and her daughter was rarely seen by her ex-husband in her new home. She also wants to complete her dream while walking and travel around the world alone. If she meets a place she likes, she will stay and die.
? Actually, I know, because Feifei and Ma Lao can't resist the secular world after all. She didn't want Ma Lao to get into trouble after the collision between spirit and flesh. Love is wrong, it is better to leave.
? After that trip back to Xuancheng, Ma Lao confessed to me. He said that once he drank a little too much, he went to see Feifei for tea. Half awake, but he doesn't want to leave. He sat behind Feifei, watching her back and listening to her play the piano. That night, he stayed, and with Feifei, he realized the beauty of passion and love. That night, he seemed to release years of stress. He said that when he woke up the next day, he was alone at Feifei's house. He knew he was wrong, and he became the person he always despised. He thought of his daughter-in-law and son in Xuancheng and slapped himself hard! He asked me what to do, and I slapped him hard.
?
Feifei left as if she had never been here before. The old horse still runs in two places, but never takes anyone else. Rape blossoms and peach blossoms are blooming again, and my sister's dance class has a new teacher. On weekends, we will still guess boxing, drink and eat with the old horse. But no one mentioned Feifei, and the lotus blooms only in dreams.
