Beijing?

Pick me up?

He Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't remember this matter in his mind at all.

When he was in Beijing before, every time he celebrated the festival, no matter how far away he lived, he would invite He Jing to eat together. A few times I drank some rice wine, and my mind was confused, and I didn't know how I got home.

"It seems that my brother has too many women to remember. He Jing laughed.

", if I had a girlfriend, would I go to dinner with you during the holidays?" He Yuan shot back.

"That's what I said, whether you eat or not, what does it have to do with whether you have a girlfriend or not, do you not eat with me after you have a girlfriend? He Jing said, "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered, do you still want invoices over there, when I had dinner before, I gave you a lot of invoices, all of which were kept at home, and I forgot to give them to you." ”

"What do you do with so many invoices?"

The second aunt, who was busy in the back, heard this sentence when she passed by the table and asked casually.

"My brother and his company ask for an invoice, and I heard that it seems to be reimbursed, and the first thing I say when I enter the restaurant every time I eat is, 'There is no card here, and no invoice is issued.'" If you don't open, let's go, change one. 'The old man is angry. He Jing turned his head and explained to the second aunt behind him.

"You want an invoice, say it earlier, we are going to refuel the car or something, there are a lot of invoices, and I don't have them at home. The second aunt brought a big iron basin over, which was full of cooked mutton, "Do you want to add some meat to you?"

"No, not now. He Yuan waved his hand.

He's no longer in the company, what's the use of taking those invoices.

While eating, He Yuan also ate hot, and after drinking some wine, his brain was a little dizzy.

He sat at the dinner table for a while, and it looked like it was about an hour or so before he got off the table.

In the middle, the family used the excuse of "my father is not here, you want to drink on my behalf", and drank two glasses of liquor in a row, whether a glass is about two taels or four taels, not a lot, but it is indeed a little nauseous and wants to vomit. It wasn't until he ran to the balcony and blew the cold wind that He Yuan felt more comfortable.

Secretly lit a cigarette on the balcony, and He Yuan began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog. In fact, it doesn't matter if you smoke in the living room, but there are few people who smoke at home, and in this winter, the room is relatively closed, and He Yuan is embarrassed to let others smoke second-hand smoke, and there are a few juniors in it. Second, He Yuan still can't let go of the second uncle's house, and he is always subconsciously frightened, so he can not be smoked in front of them, and try not to be smoked in front of them.

With the strength of the smoke, He Yuan finally suppressed the rush of wine, he touched his stomach, he didn't pay attention to it just now, it seemed that he had eaten a little too much.

He Yuan didn't care, eating hot pot was a little different from eating. If you eat, you can easily feel full when you eat vegetables while eating. If you eat hot pot, you don't have rice, so you often eat a lot more than you normally eat.

At least so much mutton, made into a dish and put in front of He Yuan, He Yuan can't eat so much.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, where did you go?"

In the house, the sound of calling He Yuan sounded, and the footsteps looking for him everywhere.

"Not in the living room, not in the bathroom, must have gone to the balcony to smoke. Well, it's here. He Jing's voice came from the house, and after a while, he appeared in the room and glanced at He Yuan, who was standing on the balcony, "Do you still want to eat?"

"Wait, it'll be over in a moment. He Yuan said as he hurried up, took two more puffs, and then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the flower bed, and then entered the house.

When passing by the bathroom, He Yuan originally wanted to go to the toilet, but saw that the door of the bathroom was ajar, and the eldest lady was standing in front of the washing machine, with a small plastic bag in front of her, in which a brand-new red old man's head was being stuffed into the red envelopes one by one.

"Auntie, you're busy. He Yuan spoke, and subconsciously wanted to close the door.

"Ah, Xiaoyuan, what's wrong, do you want to go to the bathroom? The eldest lady said without looking back, while stepping up the speed of stuffing money, every time she stuffed a red envelope, she pulled the mouth of the red envelope and sealed it.

"Well, I'm going to go to the bathroom. He Yuan was stunned and didn't retreat. He felt a little dizzy in his head, a little unsteady on his feet.

"You wait a minute, and you'll be fine right away. The eldest lady said, finished the things in her hand, and then wrapped the small plastic bag and put it in the pocket of her clothes.

"You, drink less, drinking too much is not good for your health. When she finished doing this, the eldest lady turned around and walked out of the toilet, and when she passed by He Yuan's side, she said a word to He Yuan.

He Yuan smiled and didn't speak, and after the eldest lady went out, he quickly entered the house, closed the bathroom door with his backhand, and locked it.

The moment he went to the toilet, He Yuan's brain was blank, he felt that the whole person was empty, and his mind was suddenly out of thought, just like that, through the window, looking at the people on the opposite side, watching, watching, watching......

After a while, He Yuan shuddered and came back to his senses.

He blinked his eyes, and he always felt that there was a moment just now, and some inexplicable memories seemed to appear in his mind......

Shaking his head, He Yuan felt that he must have drunk too much, and decided that next time he would try not to drink the white bar, he really couldn't get used to that kind of taste.

After washing his hands, He Yuan returned to the dinner table and continued to brag and fart with them.

A meal was eaten for two or three hours, according to the previous situation, after eating, the family should first go to burn paper, after the paper is burned, it is to watch the Spring Festival Gala, play cards, or go to the Big Buddha Temple, or incense on the mountain.

As for He Yuan, he usually hides in the corner and swipes his mobile phone, or goes to an Internet café outside to surf the Internet...... Of course, it was all when he was a child, and now, he is usually next to him, listening to them chatting, and occasionally there are not enough people to play cards, so he will pull He Yuan in to make up for someone.

But this year is different, the second uncle's comrade-in-arms has a birthday, and he wants to go out after eating. For other people, they have to go back to take care of adults (aunts), and they have to take care of children. So after cleaning up almost, everyone decided to disperse.

But before it disperses, you have to burn the rune paper first.

At this time, grandma beckoned to He Yuan and motioned for him to come over.

He Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after walking over, he bent down in front of his grandmother: "What's wrong grandma." ”

"Xiaoyuan, your mother's rune paper, I've already written it, you can take it back in a while and burn it by the river. Grandma stretched out her hand tremblingly, and the lady on the side hurriedly took out a stack of rune paper from a dark blue handbag she was carrying.

"That, Mom, Xiaoyuan's rune paper, I also got it for him, and I burned it together at noon. At this time, the aunt who drove the battery car from the garage happened to pass by, stopped when she heard the words, and said a word to the two.

"What, you got it too, oops, I got it here, and they all let people do it together. Grandma was stunned for a moment, in the past, she had prepared these things, but suddenly someone got them, and she was a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I'll go back and burn this, by the way, it's by the river, right? He Yuan took the plastic bag from his grandmother's hand and put it on the mat, it was not heavy, it contained rune paper, yellow paper, candles, and a stack of thick things, which I couldn't tell what it was.

In the past, when He Yuan was young, when he was still at home, the rune papers at home were all written by He Yuanlai. After so many years, if you do the math, it has been eight years since college. I haven't written about these things for eight years, and He Yuan is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Well, there are some gold and silver ingots, and banknotes and so on, all of which are done. I don't know if anyone on her side will do it, and if no one does, then it's pitiful, it's your mother after all...... I'm still here, and I can help with it, but if I'm gone, I don't know who else will remember to get these things. Grandma said a little wistfully.

"Mom, now these things, who still writes them themselves, they are all written by someone outside. The one downstairs of us, one at a time, writes one at a time, prepares the things, and hands them over to others, and they promise to help you write the baba suitably. The eldest lady on the side interjected, just right, she saw Xiaolong sitting behind her aunt's battery car, and hurriedly took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into his arms, "Come, Xiaolong, get it, Happy New Year." ”

Xiaolong was swiping his mobile phone there, and after getting the red envelope, he looked at the eldest mother a little blankly, and then looked at the aunt. The aunt sat on the battery car, turned back to Xiaolong and said, "Your aunt gave it to you, you can get it, say thank you." ”

"Thank you, auntie. Xiaolong whispered, took the red envelope, and stuffed it into his pocket.

The eldest lady took out a few red envelopes from her pocket and chased forward: "He Yong, wait, wait a minute......"

Seeing this scene, He Yuan also took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiaolong's arms: "Happy New Year." ”

"Ah, brother......" Xiaolong was taken aback by He Yuan's sudden move, a little flustered, and looked at his aunt at a loss. After seeing his aunt nodding again, Xiaolong took the red envelope and said with some anxiety, "Thank you, brother." ”

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, are you going back to live tonight, whether you will take their car, or come with me. Auntie asked, squeezing the brakes of the battery car.

He Yuan looked at the battery car, which was a little small. Speaking of which, the family has also changed the battery car a few times, each time it was stolen, the battery car changed this time is a little small, plus Xiaolong has also grown up, nearly a meter eight young man, and the aunt sat up, there is no far position.

"No, I'll go back to the old house. He Yuan smiled and said.

"You go back over there to live, are you used to living, are there sheets, quilts or something. Auntie said bluntly.

"Well, it's all done, and it can live in people. He Yuandao.

"That'...... Okay, aren't you going back? The sheets have already been laid out for you, and your dad comes back in the early morning, you don't want to see your dad?" said the aunt.

"I've got something to do in a while, so let's get over tomorrow. He Yuan said.

"Xiaoyuan, go back so far, or you can stay here with me tonight. The second uncle in the distance heard the conversation here and raised his throat and howled.

"No need Second Uncle, I'll go out for a while and have something to do, and I'll go home directly in the evening. He Yuan replied.

"It's so late, what's the matter? The second uncle muttered there.

"Eh, young people, they must be going to meet female classmates. The second aunt was there, and she elbowed the second uncle.

"When I see a female classmate, I won't go home at night. "The second uncle was laughing there.

The second aunt resisted him again, complained, and then bowed her head to the second uncle's ear, I don't know what to say, and the two laughed there.

"Okay, if you want to come back, call me, and I'll ride to pick you up when the time comes." After the aunt finished speaking, she said hello to everyone again, and then rode the battery car and left with the little dragon.

After the aunt left, the grandmother held He Yuan's hand and said to him, "Do you really want to go back to the old house today?"

"Well, going back. He Yuandao.

"It's inconvenient, this big night, and there is no car, it's really not good, you can stay with your second uncle for one night." Grandma said with some trepidation.

"It's convenient, when the time comes, I can just take a taxi or ask a friend to drive a ride, don't worry about me." He Yuan covered the back of his grandmother's hand with his backhand, the back of his grandmother's hand was very thin, and it was full of folds, layer by layer, like withered old bark.

"Then you can come over tomorrow morning. Grandma said.

"Okay, I'll see the time tomorrow, so I'll come here. He Yuandao.

"Then remember to call me a little earlier before you come up. Grandma instructed again, at this time the eldest mother had already returned after sending red envelopes, she helped grandma, took her eldest son's car, and went back together.

After sending his grandmother away, He Yuan reached out and dug it out in his pocket, took out the remaining red envelopes, and then walked over, next to the juniors, and sent them one by one.

There are not many juniors in He Yuan's family, and if you do the math, there are only about five so far. In fact, there were relatives of another line, but because the second grandfather left, the second grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's disease in recent years and lived in a nursing home, and the two families were estranged a lot, at least over the years, the two families rarely spent the New Year together.

After sending the red envelope and taking back a bunch of milky "Thank you, uncle", He Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock.

At this point, I don't know where to put it in the Spring Festival Gala, at this point in the past, the whole family sat in front of the TV, knocking melon seeds, and watching the Spring Festival Gala...... However, in recent years, this tradition has gradually disappeared, and everyone seems to have their own business, and as soon as they finish eating, most of the birds and beasts scatter.

Although He Yuan basically doesn't watch the Spring Festival Gala himself, every time after the New Year, he brushes down the circle of friends, basically has any good-looking jokes and new stalks, and can be seen in the circle of friends, which can be regarded as a disguised "brush" of the Spring Festival Gala.

When there were these activities, He Yuan felt a little impatient, but without these activities, He Yuan felt a little empty in his heart. Without these rituals, I always feel that this year is incomplete.

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, where are you going, do you want me to give you a ride. He Yong, who was teasing the grapes on the side, saw He Yuan, suddenly remembered something, and said something to He Yuan.

"Ah, no, I have something to do in a while, just walk over there. He Yuan was stunned for a moment, stuffed the phone into his arms, and said.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to tell you. He Yuan straightened his face and said.

He Yuan was a little strange, He Yong was so serious, what secrets did he have to tell him?

"That's right, when I was with you Sister Luo at Fortune Square before, I saw a person who was especially like you. He Yong said.

He Yuan's heart jumped,, could it be that when he was shopping in the mall, he was accidentally seen by his family?

He Yuan had this kind of worry before, so he rarely went into the city to wander, and even if he went into the city, he would walk around the area where his family lived.

It's not that He Yuan deliberately wants to hide it from his family, but he hasn't figured out how to explain his situation to his family.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that He Yuan resigned and went home, it's been almost half a year, and I can't tell my family about this matter. The family is the kind of very traditional person, and I always feel that a person should have a serious job, have a daughter-in-law, have another child, and then live a down-to-earth life.

He Yuan has changed a few jobs before, and they have a lot of complaints about it, they always feel that work, don't look at the level of salary, just find one, just do it with peace of mind, always jump over and skip over, the impact is not good. Especially He Yuan has been resigned for four or five months, and in their eyes, it is more like not doing his job.

Although they will not keep criticizing him about this matter, they will definitely complain and urge, and even they will not care about He Yuan's wishes, and will use their connections to find jobs for He Yuan everywhere, so that He Yuan can "get on the right track as soon as possible".

It is a very time-consuming and laborious thing to communicate with them, and He Yuan has not yet figured out how to tell them these things. I can only drag it out first, and then explain it to them clearly when the matter in hand is almost resolved.

"Yes, that person is really very similar to you, but he is different from you, he drives the car, and there is a girl by his side, and that girl is quite beautiful. Sister Luo on the side also said.

When He Yuan heard this, his heart sank even more.

It's over, this TM must be me.

Let me think, Fortune Plaza, driving, girl...... This should be talking about Tang Duoduo, right?

Just when He Yuan was struggling in his heart and how to explain to them, he heard He Yong say: "Then your sister Luo told me that my father asked her to introduce you to a girlfriend before, let me ask you, if you have a partner now, if you don't have it, she will arrange it for you, meet Ha Mian together, and have a meal." ”

Yes?

Meet?

Dine?

He Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... Is it a blind date?"

"Blind date? You have to say that it is counted, and you have to say that it is not counted, and it is not counted. Anyway, I know him, and there are a lot of pieces of meat. He Yong said with a big grin.

When he graduated from junior high school, he went to the frontier to serve as a soldier, and he has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he only returned home when he was almost 30 years old. The most regrettable thing is that I have never talked about a girlfriend when I am so big, so the first thing I do when I come back is to fall in love.

During this period, he talked about one, and when he was about to talk about marriage, the family knew that the other party was a shampoo and the family conditions were not very good, so he opposed it very fiercely.

He Yuan's brother is more honest, in the words of his uncle, his brain is bad in the army. What's more, the second uncle also came forward to "talk" with He Yong as a parent.

He Yong was still angry with his family because of this incident, he had been single for almost 30 years, and finally came back to find a partner, but he was disturbed by his family, and he was angry. But under the aura of the second uncle, He Yong withered, and he could only reluctantly accept this result.

Later, under the arrangement of his family, He Yong and his current daughter-in-law met through a blind date. He Yuan, the sister-in-law, is a teacher at home, she came out of college and worked as a nurse in a hospital, which can be regarded as a good condition, and it is enough to match He Yong, a big soldier.

He Yong's family is quite satisfied with this family business, and feels that people have knowledge and culture, but He Yong, except for being a soldier for more than ten years, having a little money in his hands, buying a suite at home, and buying a car, he has nothing.

When he came back from this job, he found a lot of connections at home, and finally found a good position for him and stuffed him into the government department, which is considered safe. However, He Yong's brain has not been very smart since he was a child, when he was in the army before, the second uncle gave him a chance to go to the military academy, he himself was admitted to the military academy in the army, and he walked to the position of colonel step by step.

As a result, He Yong coaxed himself, and when it was time to take the exam, he gave up, but this incident became a heart disease of his family, and he always felt that he had no knowledge and no culture, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of others.

He Yong himself was not too satisfied with this family affair, and he felt that Sister Luo's appearance and figure were not as good as the one he talked about before. Second, he felt that Sister Luo was a little pampered and spent lavishly, which made him feel very headaches, and he was often caught between the woman and the parents, and he couldn't get off the stage.

When He Yuan was in college before, He Yong also secretly complained to He Yuan.

He Yuan, I feel very understanding of He Yong's situation, this kind of thing is very common in my hometown, most parents will only arrange the future for their children according to their own preferences, and they don't care whether the children are happy or not, whether they like it or not.

He Yuan grew up in this environment since he was a child, and every step of the way must be in the direction "set" by his parents. If you make a mistake, you are degenerate, you just don't work hard, that is, "the future is coming to an end, and no one wants you to go to the construction site to work, so you can only go to the street to beg for money".

So He Yuancai tried every possible way to escape from his hometown and escape from this environment that suffocated him.

Especially He Yuan's family, the older generation basically served as soldiers, all of them came out of the army, and their style of action was the same as that in the army, which was particularly tough. And He Yuan's generation, who grew up in this high-pressure atmosphere since childhood, miraculously did not grow crooked.

The most crooked one is Aunt He Yuan's son, who ran away from home directly in order to marry his daughter-in-law, and has not had any contact with his family for nearly ten years......

But looking at He Yong's appearance, after getting married, this little life is not bad.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad for such a thing as a blind date, after all, many things can only be known after you have experienced it yourself.

But He Yuan didn't expect that one day, he himself would be arranged on a blind date!
