Chapter 176: A Happy "Family of Three"
Fengyayuan 1001, a spacious room, is very lively.
Luo Qingyi and Chen Yiming sat on the sofa watching TV, and Huang Dongchun, Lao Jiang, and Lao He were busy in the kitchen.
An'er, dressed in festive red, shuttled on both sides like a happy elf, and then sat between Chen Yiming and Luo Qingyi, smiling happily.
Chen Yiming said with a smile: "It feels like a family of three." ”
There was a cold blow on his feet, and Luo Qingyi looked as usual.
Wang Bing went to the airport to pick up Liu Jiayi, who arrived in time today, and should be back soon.
Singing wafted out of the TV, pots and pans collided in the kitchen, hot oil scalded the food, rising bursts of aroma, and the curvature of the corners of people's mouths outlined a vivid picture of the fireworks world.
The doorbell rang, An'er ran to open the door, and Wang Bing and Liu Jiayi walked in.
"Uncle Wang is good, Uncle Hei is good. ”
I haven't seen him for most of the month, and Liu Jiayi seems to be darker.
He smiled and took out the gift and gave it to An'er.
At six o'clock in the evening, the meal is served.
Lao He smiled and poured wine for everyone, and Luo Qingyi poured a glass of juice for An'er.
Lao Jiang, who has always been unsmiling, opened his mouth and said to Lao He for the first time: "Old brother, the whole two?"
Wang Bing on the side also persuaded: "That's it, coach, two whole cups!"
Lao He first arched his hand towards Lao Jiang, then looked at Wang Bing and scolded with a smile: "You kid just want to take the opportunity to take revenge, right?
Wang Bing, who had been devastated by Lao He for half a month, hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I just think that today's good day is not suitable for two mouthfuls." ”
Lao He looked at An'er and said with emotion: "It's because today's day is so good that I don't want to lose such a good day again." ”
Everyone present knew a little about Lao He's past, and didn't say anything more.
Chen Yiming said with a smile: "Then let's raise a glass and congratulate our little princess An'er, happy birthday!"
After speaking, An'er was hugged to the bench and stood, Luo Qingyi complained on the side: "Oh, you light, don't fall." ”
Wang Bing laughed on the side, "You don't think they look like a family of three!haha!"
After saying that, he was smiling, and he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he looked at several murderous eyes.
Including but not limited to Luo Qingyi, Lao Jiang, and Lao He.
"I was wrong, a drink. Oh no, three shots!"
Wang Bing swallowed three glasses of liquor, Chen Yiming said with a smile: "You are taking the opportunity to drink more!"
The atmosphere at the wine table is back in harmony.
Chinese gatherings, or gatherings in the entire East Asian cultural circle, like to drink, and this drinking method is different from that of Europe and the United States.
Because the culture of this circle is relatively introverted, and a moderate amount of alcohol often helps to tear off the mask that wraps people on weekdays, it is easier to confide in the truth.
Of course, this also makes some sanctimonious people do a lot of rude, disgusting, and even illegal things after drinking, in essence, alcohol is innocent, and those who are guilty are those who are stupid.
Fortunately, there is no one on this table, and Wang Bing, who has the most potential, has not fulfilled his talent, he is honest and does his duty.
So the atmosphere at one table was even more lively.
Luo Qingyi drank peach blossoms in his eyes, the water waves flowed, and the beauty was incomprehensible, so that several men in the banquet did not dare to look at it directly.
Only Chen Yiming, silently reciting the Ice Heart Mantra, his expression was clear, and Lao Jiang on the side nodded secretly.
A person who can be so calm in front of the eldest lady is a character no matter what.
An'er also obediently touched the eldest brother, uncle, and grandfather one by one, and said thank you and auspicious words in a sweet voice, and everyone liked it so much.
Approaching eight o'clock, Chen Yiming said: "An'er has to go to school tomorrow, let's eat cake first, and An'er will go to bed early after eating." ”
An'er's eyes widened with anticipation.
Since she was a child, her grandfather would prepare a small cake for her every year, and she liked it.
The task of delivering the cake was naturally carried out by Lao He, who raised her single-handedly, Lao He got up and went to the kitchen refrigerator to take out the cake box, unpack it, and put it on the coffee table.
The crowd also moved over and helped to put candles and light candles.
Luo Qingyi glared at Chen Yiming, "This cake is too small!"
Chen Yiming smiled and shook his head, "That's enough." ”
When Lao He carefully held the cake with lit candles and placed it in front of An'er, An'er was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! This year's cake is so big! Is it because it is a year old?"
Luo Qingyi's nose suddenly became sore, and he turned around and leaned on Chen Yiming's shoulder and sniffled.
It seemed to react suddenly, and he beat Chen Yiming's shoulder with hatred.
Chen Yiming: ???
Luo Qingyi wiped the corners of his eyes, hesitated, and quietly wiped Chen Yiming's clothes.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yiming discovered her small movements and protested in a low voice, "Sister Luo, don't wipe your nose on me!"
"That's snot!" the angry Luo Qingyi stomped on him, and then reacted quickly, "Tears!"
"You say yes, I don't dare say anything anyway. ”
Chen Yiming looked aggrieved as a little daughter-in-law.
While speaking, An'er was ready to make a wish, and everyone sang a birthday song to her, blowing out the candles, and An'er said with a smile: "I'm one year older again!"
After sharing the cake, everyone also held a piece and ate it, and Chen Yiming's mobile phone suddenly rang.
As soon as he looked at the electric man, his face sank, "Hey, Sister Xiaoli." ”
"Chen Yiming, can you ask your classmates to help me, someone wants to harm me!"
"Sister Xiaoli, don't worry, you speak slowly. Chen Yiming stood up abruptly, then noticed An'er, got up and walked to the side of the room.
Gu Xiaoli sobbed quietly and explained the situation.
Liu Yi went to her house, and then knocked Ding Zhi's mother unconscious, trying to forcibly violate her, at the critical moment, Gu Xiaoli remembered the self-defense skills she had learned in the factory before, and escaped, and now she has nothing with her, only a mobile phone, hidden in the mountains, and Liu Yi is still looking for her everywhere.
"Sister Xiaoli, you send me a text message immediately, tell me the specific location, and then you must hide it, I will arrive as soon as possible!"
"Well, I won't let him succeed if I die. ”
Chen Yiming took a deep breath, "If necessary, life is the most important. ”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiming walked out of the room, looked at Luo Qingyi and Lao Jiang, and turned his head to look at Huang Dongchun, "Chun'er, come with me to Langfang." ”
As soon as they heard the tone, and then looked at Chen Yiming's solemn expression, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Because in front of An'er, Chen Yiming tried his best to be calm: "My cousin has encountered something, I'll rush over to deal with it." ”
"You're drinking and can't drive. Luo Qingyi persuaded.
Wang Bing was also annoyed: "I knew I didn't drink anymore." ”
Chen Yiming shook his head, "It's okay, I'll take a taxi, just give the money." ”
Lao He stood up, "Who else is more suitable for this matter than me." The car keys were given to me. ”
Chen Yiming hesitated: "But An'er?"
An'er said crisply: "Big brother, I have grown up, I can take care of myself." ”
Luo Qingyi hugged An'er lovingly, "Lao Jiang will accompany you and Lao He, and I will stay to take care of An'er." ”
Lao Jiang refused, "Miss, I can't leave you." ”
Chen Yiming didn't have so much time to delay, and it would be more dangerous to delay for a while, so he simply said: "Sister Luo, either you and Lao Jiang will be with me, and Lao Qi and they will stay to take care of An'er, or I will take Huang Dongchun away, and you can take the idea." ”
In the end, Huang Dongchun and Lao Qi stayed behind to take care of An'er, and Wang Bing returned home after cleaning up the room.
Lao He drove, and Chen Yiming, Luo Qingyi, and Lao Jiang sat on Chen Yiming's Cayenne, turning into a streamer in the night and going to the small village in Langfang.
~~
Liu Yi walked on the top of the mountain, like a wounded and hungry beast, his tall body trekking through the hill behind the village.
It is said to be a small mountain, but in fact, it is a large dirt bag.
There are no dense bushes, just dead branches and sand, and bare trees, which makes the search easy...... Some.
Because, after all, this is the dark night when you can't see your fingers.
When he first went to Ding Zhi's house, Liu Yi's idea was that if he could be tempted, he would be tempted, and everything would be fine;
If you can't be tempted, then use strong, after using strong, if Gu Xiaoli swallows his anger, he will just inch in, if Gu Xiaoli's fish dies, Ding Zhi's car has been parked in his yard, and the luggage has been loaded and can leave at any time.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered, I was met with resolute resistance, and Gu Xiaoli escaped.
If he gives up now, it must be nothing, and Gu Xiaoli will not talk nonsense everywhere, the key is that no one will believe what he says.
But if he leaves like this, he doesn't get anything and makes a fuss, it's impossible to be willing.
He decided to fight again, he knew that these honest village women valued that ethereal chastity more than anything else, and most of them would not be able to take the step of calling the police.
He's always had good luck, and he must have been the same this time.
So the top priority is to find Gu Xiaoli.
He picked up a dead branch with the stick in his hand, his expression was gloomy, he didn't expect a delicate woman to run so fast, he just hurt in bed for a while, and he was gone.
But this piece is so big, the ground is empty, you can see the end at a glance, and the only thing you can hide in is this small hill in front of you.
It was said to be a small mountain bag, but it would take a lot of time to go around, Liu Yi searched carefully, shaking the flashlight from time to time to prevent Gu Xiaoli from suddenly running back.
Gu Xiaoli shrank in a small hole, which she found once when she went up the mountain to collect firewood, the place was not big, like the place where someone's family used to store irrigation water, and then it was abandoned, and it was covered with a wooden board.
She cowered nervously in a corner, hiding her phone in her clothes, for fear of letting in the light, and occasionally glanced down at the time.
At this time, two full hours have passed since she called Chen Yiming.
In the absolute silence of the night, the light of the flashlight once again swept through the gap in the wooden plank, and the slight footsteps once again passed diagonally above Gu Xiaoli's head.
Tuk tuk.
The sticks struck the empty planks below, making a crunching sound.
