Chapter 82: The Old Place, the Celebration Feast
Regarding the identity of the "big man", Ning Xi didn't say anything, and Chen Yuan didn't dare to ask.
I hailed an unmanned "psionic taxi" and headed to Linjiang No. 3 Middle School, which was located a few kilometers away.
The "driverless car" has two seats in the front and rear.
Liu Xu and Huo Yuan consciously sat in the front two seats, and the back seats were reserved for Chen Yuan and Ning Xi, who got on the train a little later.
A twenty-minute drive is not long, but it is not short.
Ning Xi, Liu Xu, and Huo Yuan talked all the way, and they were generous between their words.
Chen Yuan was a little restrained, and he didn't talk too much.
After a short time, the taxi slowly stopped at the intersection of Student Street near No. 3 Middle School.
Chen Yuan opened the car door, and suddenly felt that his nerves were relaxed, and Fang Cai's cramped feeling was also reduced a lot.
Ning Xi stepped out of the car and couldn't help but sigh when she saw him looking relieved.
The college entrance examination has ended, and the student street is crowded with candidates who have come to celebrate with dinner.
Most of them are poor students like Chen Yuan, who may not be able to book high-end hotels or eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but this narrow student street undoubtedly carries all their satisfaction.
The streets are filled with the smell of students, and there is an endless stream of students coming and going.
Chen Yuan and the four of them stepped on the wet bluestone road and came to the door of the "Sister Mao's food stall".
Just as he was about to walk in, a person suddenly walked out of it, and said with a smile: "Chen Yuan Xiaoyou, the old man is not brought to the celebration banquet, it's not interesting enough." ”
"Old Gu?" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
Ning Xi walked up to him and said with a faint smile: "How is it?"
"Enough, enough!" Chen Yuanxi was overjoyed.
For him, Gu Lao is not only a "nobleman" on his cultivation journey, but also a "benefactor" who has saved his life.
Gu Lao stepped forward, glanced at Chen Yuan up and down, and said angrily: "Good boy, I forgot about the old man when I got a champion, fortunately, Ning Xi was filial and knew how to pull the old man to eat." ”
Chen Yuan turned his head and glanced at Ning Xi, and saw that she was looking left and right, staying out of the matter.
Scratching his head, he said with a smile: "Old Gu, I really didn't expect you to come, if you don't think the wine here is bad, the students will definitely accompany you to drink happily, and you will rest when you get drunk!"
"A small amount of alcohol, you dare to brag in front of me," Gu Lao scolded with a smile, and said loudly: "Okay, the old man will accompany you little dolls to drink three hundred cups today, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows!"
Chen Yuan and Ning Xi walked into the food stall with Gu Lao on the left and right, Liu Xu asked the boss to arrange the best private room, and Huo Yuan was in charge of ordering food and wine, and he was very busy.
Chen Yuan sat down Gu Lao and Ning Xi respectively, stood aside by himself, and said embarrassedly: "The conditions here are poor, and the two of you have been wronged." ”
"Manly man, how can you be a mother-in-law," Gu Lao frowned.
Ning Xi said with a smile: "He's afraid that we will 'not adapt to the soil and water', and he is worried all the way." ”
"Silly boy," Gu Lao looked at Chen Yuan, shook his head and smiled.
At this time, Liu Xu, who was standing at the door, learned Xiao Er's tone and shouted: "The food is coming." ”
Soon, plates of hot delicacies were served to the round table by the waiter.
Huo Yuan followed the door and gently closed the door.
The three brothers sat down, Chen Yuan was the first to stand up, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Gu Lao: "Gu Lao, I respect you for the first cup, without your teaching, there would be no me today. ”
Tilt your neck and pour the liquor down your throat.
Gu Lao's eyes flashed, he raised his wine glass and drank it all, and his weather-beaten old face couldn't help but blush with a blush.
Chen Yuan poured himself another cup, turned to Ning Xi, and said sincerely: "Second cup of Senior Sister Jing Ning Xi, I ......"
When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly choked in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"If you can't say it, don't say it, like a person drinking water, he knows how cold and warm he is," Ning Xi smiled faintly, raised the wine glass on the table and took a shallow sip.
Liu Xu was happy when he heard it, and gave a thumbs up and said, "It is worthy of Senior Sister Ning Xi, and she has a level of speaking." ”
Huo Yuan frowned: "I'll go, what's the matter with you." ”
"You can't say that," Liu Xu stretched out his chopsticks, took a large piece of garlic fish and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing on it: "What is the relationship between our Chen Yuan and Senior Sister Ning Xi, what's wrong with me boasting." ”
"What's the relationship?"
Ning Xi and Chen Yuan's faces turned red at the same time, and they said in unison.
"Isn't it just ......" Liu Xu was about to speak, but the back of his head had already been slapped by Huo Yuan, "Eat your things, don't talk nonsense!"
After training Liu Xu, he turned to the two of them: "This fat thing can't speak, I'll say it for him, what he means is that you two are talented and beautiful, and you are born ......."
"Get out!" Chen Yuan picked up two chopsticks and threw them over.
Huo Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the chopsticks in his hand, and gave Chen Yuan a "you know" look by the way.
Gu Lao looked at the group of young people at the dinner table pushing glasses and changing lamps, drinking and messing around, laughing, as if he had instantly returned to his youth.
Three rounds of drinking.
Chen Yuan glanced at Ning Xi, who was slightly drunk, and said slightly apologetically: "Senior sister, don't worry, I'll clean them up for you when I go back." ”
"I'm not that careful. Ning Xi looked calm.
"Are you sure?" said Chen Yuan.
He still remembered that when he first saw Ning Xi, it was in the gymnasium of the No. 3 Municipal Middle School.
At that time, she and Yun Qingyan walked side by side, and were successfully angered by a group of good people in the stadium.
He didn't even give face to the leader of the third lieutenant colonel, and went straight away with his sleeves.
So when it comes to such "sensitive issues", Chen Yuan has to be cautious.
Ning Ximei's eyes flashed, and she could see through his thoughts at a glance, "You think I can't afford to joke?"
shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Yes, sometimes I am quite stubborn, especially in the face of some pretentious guys, the performance is more obvious." ”
"For example......"
"For example, Yunqingyan. Ning Xi said: "I have known him since I was a child, and I have often interacted with the previous generation, but it doesn't mean that I can agree with what he did." My dad and the head of the Yun family are old friends, and they often let me walk around with Yun Qingyan more, but I just can't do it. ”
Chen Yuan nodded, deeply agreeing.
Ning Xi sighed, dragged her reddish cheeks with one hand, and said quietly: "I like to live for myself." Being with someone you don't like, walking is also boring, on the contrary, being with someone you like, even if you eat food stalls, you can understand that?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the private room was silent for a moment.
Liu Xu spilled a bowl of hot soup, and the soup poured his pants down the table, and he screamed when it was hot.
Huo Yuan still had food in his mouth, and when he heard Ning Xi finish speaking, he choked directly, coughing and crying.
Even Gu Lao, who was out of the way, was choked on a sip of wine, and raised his eyes to look at Chen Yuan, with a look that it was not a big deal to see the excitement.
Only Chen Yuan was sitting precariously, nodding frequently while making a contemplative appearance: "Well, it makes sense......
Ning Xi reacted instantly, and her pretty face suddenly turned crimson.
I wanted to explain two sentences, but I was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so I had to lower my head and eat food.
Seeing the scene a little embarrassed, Gu Lao coughed twice, raised his wine glass and said, "Ahem, this cup is for Chen Yuan...... I wish Chen Yuan to win the city's civil and military champion!"
Liu Xu and Huo Yuan hurriedly raised their glasses, cooperating with Gu Lao and Thin Mud.
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, stood up, raised his glass and said, "This cup, I respect everyone, thank you, thank you very much." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the liquor entered his throat, and his eyes were red.
Ning Xi raised her head and looked at the simple and delicate face not far away, her eyes flashing and thoughtful.
......
Before you know it, the "celebration banquet" is about to come to an end.
There was no suspense, Liu Xu was drunk again, and for a while he pulled Ning Xi to recognize his sister, and for a while he cried and said that Gu Lao was his own grandfather, which made a group of people cry and laugh.
Huo Yuan also drank a lot, and told Chen Yuan all the love words he was about to say to Jiang Xiaoyu, and Chen Yuan had goosebumps all over his body.
In contrast, Gu Lao is very proficient, and two bottles of twenty-year-old wine are still standing.
With a red face full of red light, he talked to everyone about his campus past when he was young, and he was very fascinated by what he heard.
Ning Xi has always been a shallow taste in drinking, and she ate a meal, but she was only slightly drunk.
Chen Yuan is also quite sober, although he has drunk a lot, but he has not fallen to the point of being as drunk as Liu Xuhuo Yuan.
When the group walked out of the "Sister Mao's food stall", it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.
Chen Yuan helped Gu Lao into a "psionic taxi", called a second car, and carried the drunken Liu Xu and Huo Yuan into the car.
Turned to Ning Xi and said, "Senior sister, where is your home, I'll send you, right?"
"In ......" Ning Xi just wanted to speak, but suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I still won't trouble you." ”
Chen Yuanzheng said: "It's so late, how dangerous it is for a girl to go back, don't say it, I'll send you." ”
"That'...... All right. Ning Xiqiao blushed and nodded.
Contrary to when they came, Liu Xu and Huo Yuan were placed in the back seat of the more spacious car, while Chen Yuan and Ning Xi sat side by side in the front seat.
Chen Yuan drank some wine, and his speech was not so restrained, chatting with Ning Xitian.
Talk about the anecdotes of the slums, talk about your dreams, talk about your parents, talk about Liu Xu, talk about Huo Yuan.
Most of the time, Ning Xi listened quietly on the side.
looked at the simple, diligent, forbearing, resolute, and sometimes a little black belly boy next to him, with a faint smile on his face.
Half an hour later, the "Psychic Taxi" stopped on the outskirts of the Royal Dragon Bay villa area.
Chen Yuan looked through the blurred glass window at this ultra-luxury villa area, which was praised as the "top rich area" by Linjiang people, his eyes were slightly heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shaoqing, got out of the taxi, opened the door for Ning Xi, and said with a slight smile: "Senior sister, it's here." ”
"I didn't think you were a gentleman. Ning Xi got out of the car sideways and said with a smile, "Thank you tonight, I'm very happy." ”
"Tonight's doesn't count, if you become famous in the future, you must invite your senior sister to have a good meal." Chen Yuan said seriously.
"Doing what I said, I waited for that day. Ning Xi winked at Chen Yuan, pointed to the psionic bracelet on his wrist, and smiled, "It's almost time for me to go back and keep in touch." ”
"Well, keep in touch. Chen Yuan nodded lightly.
Looking at Ning Xi's back disappearing into the corner of the prosperous "palace", his eyes were burning: "Don't worry, one day, I will definitely get ahead, waiting for me." ”
