Chapter 18 Visiting a Guest
It's hard to welcome guests, and it's hard to be a guest.
Otherwise, human beings are social creatures, and it is impossible to leave everything out of it.
Therefore, the so-called retreat does not exist in reality.
As our boss and our senior sister, Ms. Qing was hospitable and invited us to her house on weekends.
Xu Lei and Tang Yi live in the same student apartment, so they discussed going together.
She asked Tang Yi when she would leave, and Tang Yi felt that she shouldn't let others wait, so she set it at eight o'clock.
Come to think of it, this is one of the few times they have seen each other.
"Brother, can you buy something?"
"No, Senior Sister Qing said no," Tang Yi replied to the text message.
"Bring something, or it will feel weird to be empty-handed. Xu Lei insisted.
"Then you can do it. Tang Yi also felt that he should bring something, but he understood the meaning of Senior Sister Qing, and felt that it seemed better not to bring it.
The next morning the two met at the door. Xu Lei bought apples and oranges at a street stall, and Tang Yi hesitated and bought some oranges.
The bus is different from the past, the two of them are not very familiar, and they are a little restrained along the way.
But Xu Lei seems to be more bold, and she talks about everything, but she maintains a reserve in the key vocabulary.
"Is it almost there, is it Qi Xia standing down?"
"No, it's Qixia East Station. Xu Lei said softly.
"I remember it was Qixia Station. Tang Yi was not sure, but still said.
"No, we'll go down again. "I can't see that Xu Lei is a bit overbearing.
"Okay. ”
The bus reported to Qixia East Station, and they got off together. After a detour, I arrived at Sister Qing's home, which is a clean, mid-to-high-end community.
Xu Lei was right, fortunately she didn't insist, Tang Yi thought.
I came too early, knocked on the door, and Mr. Qing was still wearing pajamas.
"So early. I'm still thinking you'll be there at ten o'clock. Senior Sister Qing greeted her with a smile.
"Brother Tang said, I don't want you to wait. Xu Lei replied.
"It doesn't have to be so early. Senior Sister Qing smiled.
"Let's go downstairs to buy things first, Tang Yi, you sit down at home first. ”
Senior Sister Qing's tone was very gentle, and after speaking, she hurriedly went to another house to change her clothes.
Tang Yi looked around, the two-bedroom house was simple and elegant, and the only bathroom also had a water heater, which changed Tang Yi's impression that the north was just a big bath.
The cabinet in the hall is full of photos, most of which are photos of Sister Qing's college life, and one of them is a side photo of a doctor's hat in her hand, which is very feeling. Of course, there are photos of her husband, which feels like home. The girl's mind is delicate, and she decorates an originally empty house so warm and rich.
After a while, Li Yujiao and Chen Mengjuan also came and came back with Teacher Qing.
"How do you look, do you have the feeling of dreaming of going back to college?" asked Senior Sister Qing a little arrogantly.
"It's good, it looks like it's all your pictures. Tang Yi is still looking at other photos.
"This is my husband, he is an engineering man, usually very quiet, the kind that is easy to get cold when together, but very reliable!" Tang Yi was glad for a moment that he was not an engineering man, although it was far from the point of being smooth.
"I'll eat dumplings at noon, and everyone will do it together in a while. Senior Sister Qing got back to business, and as soon as the words fell, there was a girl's coaxing. Self-help DIY is probably nothing more than that.
Dumplings sound familiar, but they are not so easy to make.
Soon the dumpling filling was done, and Tang Yi also started to make a move, and he made three or four of them, but it was always not the same. Later, Li Yujiao and the others demonstrated, and Senior Sister Qing demonstrated it not to be outdone, and Tang Yi finally learned better. But always not good. Along with the learning and wrapping, the dumplings are sent to the kitchen for steaming one by one.
After wrapping a few more, Tang Yi announced that he had given up and rested on the sofa in the hall. I thought it was a girl's world.
More work and more reward? Dumplings still have to be eaten.
It was quickly wrapped, steamed and cooked, and the table was cleaned up, ready to open the meat.
Tang Yi returned to the table.
"Would you like to have some wine?" the girls all agreed with juice.
Tang Yi hesitated, "I'll drink."
There is a whole box of canned beer, but everyone doesn't seem to want to show their true colors, but why don't you drink it on such a relaxed day, I haven't touched wine for a long time, it's rare to have this opportunity, but the love in my heart, Tang Yi doesn't want to give up.
"Let's raise a glass to celebrate this weekend. Senior Sister Qing proposed.
"Cheers to our Beicheng Xinyue!" Tang Yi also raised his glass.
After that, most of the girls talked homely, and Tang Yi occasionally interjected.
"Soon. Xu Lei said excitedly.
"Yes, there are a lot of people. Sister Qing said in a nutshell.
"It's rare to eat dumplings on weekdays, and it looks like a New Year's holiday. The other two also added.
"We eat dumplings during the Spring Festival. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Tang Yi continued.
"How good it is to have dumplings, as well as Coke and chicken wings!"
"Yes, eat dumplings every day. ”
"That's an exaggeration, come once a weekend. "Three women in one play, the scene is not cold.
Tang Yi drank the wine alone, tasted it carefully, and soon felt the heat of his face.
However, the mentality is not so good, thinking of the things in my hometown, thinking of the Spring Festival with my brother who missed clinking glasses, it was a time that I couldn't go back.
The former comfort, the former brother and brother, and the former family are happy and gone, all thanks to themselves.
"The lonely person who saw him off had red eyes with his thoughts..."Writing here, thinking of the years of North Drift in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, Tang Yi's eyes turned red slightly.
But what did you think at the time? It's good to be ordinary, contented, to eat, to wear, to talk, and to laugh!
But I just can't calm down, my career is unstable, and I don't belong in the future.
Damn it, why is it always so high!
Sometimes he is glad that he is not a mortal, a mortal mortal, a mortal man, always with a cheesiness.
The time to enjoy is always short-lived. The buffet lunch ended quickly, we cleaned up the table, chatted in the house for a while, and Sister Qing led us to the community for a walk.
A fulfilling afternoon full of laughter.
At about four o'clock, everyone said goodbye to Sister Love, said some kind words of thanks, and went home.
Tang Yi and Xu Lei went all the way, taking the bus when they came, and returned to the apartment together.
