Chapter 030: Dinner (Medium)
Holding a bouquet of carnations and carrying a box of cakes, Siyan walked down the slope from the bus station to the compound of the municipal party committee.
The An family lives in the south of the municipal party committee compound, which is a three-story small western-style house with a single courtyard.
The gravel trail is lined with neatly trimmed holly trees, and occasionally a few canna plants peek out of the green, swaggering out a few fiery red flowers.
After the dingdong sounded, there was a strange young man standing behind the door.
"Hello, is Aunt Zhou here?" Si Yan was slightly stunned, and a strange feeling passed through his heart.
He will appear at Aunt Zhou's birthday banquet, and he must have a great friendship with the An family, but she has never seen it.
Zhou Minfen's laughter raised a few degrees came from the inside: "Is it Yan Yan, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Ahem, are you Qin Siyan?" The young man looked her up and down without a trace, and stretched out his hand to her with a slight restraint: "I'm Li Wei, give me something." ”
"Hello. Holding back the confusion in his heart, Si Yan nodded, handed the cake and flowers to him, bent down in the hallway to change his slippers and enter the living room.
Uh, have they seen it before? Why isn't she impressed at all?
"You already know each other, right?" Zhou Minfen greeted her with a smile and wrapped her shoulders affectionately: "Come on, come on, young people communicate more, I'll go to the kitchen to see the soup." ”
Looking at Aunt Zhou, who was smiling extraordinarily, and then looking at Li Wei, who was a little uneasy, Si Yan suddenly understood the additional purpose of this birthday dinner.
"Auntie, let me help you. Si Yan felt slightly awkward, and wanted to get up and go to the kitchen with him.
"No, it's just a soup, you just sit. Zhou Minfen pressed her shoulder, forced her back on the sofa, and left with a smile, leaving the two people to look at each other awkwardly.
"Ahem, where is Miss Qin?" Li Wei coughed lightly, pulled his tie, and began to take the initiative to talk to her.
"Maple Grove Magazine. Si Yan lowered her eyes, thinking that Yichen had called her to come on a blind date, and a tingling pain passed through her heart.
He was so ruthless that not only could he not see her, but he also pushed her into the arms of another man.
"No wonder Miss Qin is so temperamental," Li Wei whirled into her hair, trying to find a topic: "People who engage in literature are different after all. ”
"Huh. Si Yan barely managed to squeeze out a smile, staring absentmindedly at his neatly trimmed fingers.
Yichen, such a smart and clever person, why can't he always see her heart?
Is it that when he doesn't love, she becomes his blind spot?
"When I was studying, I also liked literature, and I even published a few short poems in the school magazine......" Li Wei began to gush.
In fact, although editors are also doing writing work, there is still a difference between them and writers and poets.
However, she did not want to start a discussion with him about it.
This person says that he is talkative and humorous when he is elegant, and he is rap when he talks about cheesiness, and he likes to talk nonsense, and he can talk at length if he ignores him.
And she was not interested in further contact and understanding with him.
Si Yan hid the emotions in his heart, listened to his speech quietly, and occasionally uttered a few monophonic words of "um, ah, yes," and coped with the matter.
Zhou Minfen quietly watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.
The listener was obviously excited, but the one who said it was still in high spirits.
The crisp ringing of the doorbell broke the stagnant atmosphere.
"It's definitely Yichen, I'll open the door. Zhou Minfen smiled and walked to the entrance.
Si Yan was angry in his heart, lowered his head, and sat still.
"Mom, happy birthday!" Yichen swept into the door like a gust of wind and gave Zhou Minfen a warm bear hug.
"Auntie," Xu Lin held a large bouquet of perfume lilies, and followed Yichen in with a smile: "I wish you every year today, every year you have today, and you will live younger and younger." ”
"Hehe, look at this child's sweet mouth! The more you live, the younger you get, the more you don't become an old monster?" Zhou Minfen smiled from ear to ear: "Sit, sit down, just eat for a while." ”
"Auntie," Xu Lin followed with a smile: "Is there a vase?" I'll help you put it up." ”
"Yes, you come with me. ”
The two of them talked and laughed and went up to the second floor.
"Yichen, you're late, you're going to be fined three glasses of wine in a while!" Li Wei greeted him and punched him in the chest.
"No problem!" Yichen put his arm on his shoulder and quietly squeezed his eyes.
How's it going, do you feel it?
Li Wei's hand on his shoulder tightened, and he gave him a helpless look.
It doesn't matter, Si Yan's temperament is a little calmer, and when he is cooked, it will be fine.
Li Wei shrugged: I hope so.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Looking at Xu Lin and Zhou Minfen's intimate and happy appearance, Si Yan felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. There are all kinds of tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, and the chest is like a stone pressed, and it is stuffy and breathless.
With Xu Lin, her existence is purely superfluous, isn't it?
"Yan Yan," Yichen looked left and right, and asked, "What about Dad and Xiaoxin?"
"Leave them alone, let's eat. Zhou Minfen came down from upstairs, took over the conversation, and beckoned everyone into the restaurant: "Your dad is in a meeting, Xiaoxin is crazy, he just made a phone call, saying that he is in Hong Kong and can't come back." ”
Husbands, daughters, and sons all have their own careers, all of them do whatever they want, over the years, the most intimate is Si Yan, and in the future, it will depend on Xu Lin!
"Wow, I smell the scent of Dongpo's elbows!" Yichen shouted and rushed into the dining room.
At this time, he had a satisfied smile on his face, like a big child, how could he still have the majesty of the company's president?
