October 1st, National Day, celebrated all over the world.

In fact, the second middle school is still a little too hasty to take this holiday, I originally wanted to prepare for a few more county-wide exams, but I bumped into the holidays, I can only put the exam in the back row, waiting for the end of the National Day holiday, the students are both happy and sad, happy is that the National Day holiday is followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sad thing is that after the end of the holiday, waiting for them will be endless exams, which is equivalent to the game is about to open the level, suddenly trigger the hidden mission, open the hell survival mode, so that a group of newcomer players who don't even have weapons directly fall into confusion。

On the day of National Day.

Fang Ning's house is even more lively, except for his parents who are difficult to rush back in Shenzhen for a while, the relatives who can basically move around the family come to his house, seven aunts and eight aunts, anyway, those who are called by name, and those who can't be named are also here, there are nearly 20 people, most of them are grandma's mother's family, and grandpa's family rarely appears.

And the reason for this is mainly to hold a banquet for grandma's fifty-seventh birthday.

Originally, the birthday of 'Sansheng' was casually passed, but who knew that it was actually packed with the birthday of the motherland, of course, there is a reason to be grand, and at the same time, there is also an attitude like grandma's mother's family, although grandma is the third in the family, but the family has money, you see, and lives in such a large villa, where is the average person buys it, the mother's side must pay attention to grandma.

The tables and chairs were temporarily moved from the office of the property committee of Xia Haihai Community, and the bamboo chairs, which are easy to use and wear-resistant, are much higher grade than those plastic chairs, and are all over the lawn outside the villa, and these relatives sit on the lawn, basking in the sun, chatting and farting.

The ground outside Fang Ning's villa is quite wide, plus the weather is sunny, you can hold an open-air banquet, such a large yard, the half-sloped red tile roof is covered by creepers, the violet vines are lightly on the eaves, the small pond fish float up and down, one after another to grab food, the others are camphor trees intertwined, the dome is like shade, and the light and shadow of the squirting are refracted through the branches by the sun, such as a dream in the afternoon.

"Is the cook in touch?" Fang Ning asked his grandfather.

"Got in touch. Grandpa smiled slightly.

"Who is it?" Fang Wei also surrounded him.

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

At around eleven o'clock, Fang Lan took a car to the county, got off at Wanfulong Supermarket, and after connecting the phone, her grandfather asked Uncle Hai to pick her up, after all, she didn't know where the road was.

When Fang Lan followed Chen Hailin to Fang Ning's house, she was still a little afraid to confirm it, such a big house was far more magnificent than the surrounding commercial houses, creepers were everywhere, camphor planted cloth, and white pigeons were flying around in the distance, the high fence door was closed, and the small cobblestone road spread out was twisted and twisted, which made people hesitate.

"Old Fang, their family has made a fortune, ......?" Fang Lan asked tentatively.

"Sort of, but this house isn't as expensive as it seems. "This villa was originally introduced by Chen Hailin, so he also knows it.

"Fang Lan, don't be nervous, today is Aunt Mei's birthday, and the guests who come are some relatives and the like, there is no leader, if you are too busy, I will call two people to come over and help you." Chen Hailin said with a smile that he had a very good relationship with Fang Ning's family, and it could be said that he was almost a person who entered and exited the family, and some words could be directly said in place of Fang Jiefang.

"Uh-huh, I know. ”

Grandparents and they also came, the three of them met, and sighed a few words, after all, they hadn't seen each other for almost four years, since Fang Lan left, their farmhouse was completely abandoned, so Fang Lan was also a little reluctant and guilty.

In the living room of the Fang family, grandpa asked Fang Lan what she had been doing in the past few years?

Fang Lan sighed, "In the past four years, I have been running around with others, busy work, going to Guangzhou, and going to Shenzhen, but I didn't make much money, and I came back again, helping others to make some red and white wedding banquets in the countryside, and passing the belly with a little bit of money, which is a gangster life." ”

"In this world, it's easier to spend money than to make money, if you want to save that pitiful salary, it's impossible, people always have to eat, drink and lazar, look at you are almost forty years old now, you can't do anything in a few years, it's better to find an easy job, I have a small shop here, the shop is not big, and it is also a hot pot, do you want to help me watch the shop?"

"How can this bother you!" Fang Lan rubbed her hands, a little excited and apprehensive.

"If it's okay over there, then I'll decide for you!" Grandpa waved his hand arrogantly, and he really had the demeanor of pointing the country.

"Okay, anyway, I used to work for you, and now it's the same, I don't have to worry about it!" Fang Lan was also very happy, she could do things under her familiar old club, at least she didn't have to worry about the harsh deduction of wages.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen first and see what the ingredients are. "Fang Lan is also an anxious person, since she sold herself to Fang Ning's family to work, she suddenly became popular, after all, it was almost noon, which was equivalent to a little rush.

"Don't worry, the materials haven't arrived yet. As soon as Grandpa's words fell, the sound of a horn sounded outside.

"I'm going to open the door. Fang Ning walked out quickly, calling Shang Wei, and the Fang family sisters.

Hong Huiping drove the van slowly into the courtyard with a black painted fence, and Fang Ning and several of their juniors gathered around. He parked the car and opened the trunk, which was filled with baskets of vegetables and fresh meat, eggs and tofu products, all of which were used to make the banquet.

Fang Ning and the others took the baskets from the car and put them in the kitchen.

"Pay attention, don't break the eggs, they are all local eggs bought in the countryside, very expensive......"

Lunch opened, a total of three tables of people, a large family sat down one after another, steaming hot dishes like flowing water continue to serve the table, are eight large plates in the countryside, eight hot dishes, four cold dishes, you come and go, full of friends, very lively.

Fang Wei didn't know where to get a set of audio equipment, and after plugging in the audio test microphone, he held it in his grandfather's hand. He coughed twice, his voice was normal, he said some words of blessing, and then beckoned everyone to eat and drink.

The grandmother of the birthday star put on some light makeup today, and she looks very good, and her birthday is always like that, and people are in good spirits when they are happy.

Since today's protagonist is grandma, even the main seat of the family has been given to her to sit, and even grandpa has been able to accompany relatives to eat on the side.

A big cake was brought out by Fang Lan and placed on the table in front of her grandmother, two layers of cakes, whipped cream, and many red candles were inserted on it, Fang Ning took a lighter to light up each candle, and a bunch of relatives gathered around, gossiping, saying words of blessing.

Fang Wei took the lead in singing Happy Birthday, and they also sang along.

Grandma smiled, and made a wish at the request of Fang Wei and Fang Ning, and then blew out the candle.

Then Fang Lan served another bowl of longevity noodles, which was distributed by her grandmother to all the guests present, and she had some joy for the birthday star.

Today is destined to be busy, the banquet is over, everyone writes the gift money, and leaves one after another.

There was a pile of leftovers left in the whole scene, and Fang Ning and them needed to clean up, and it took a long time to clean up, and they were very busy.

Fang Ning finally had free time, he could take a rest, and went to the bed to lie down, just squinting his eyes and taking a nap, Cheng Xi's phone rang, which made Fang Ning, who was originally in a daze, suddenly feel excited.

"Hmm, Cheng Xi, what's the matter?" Fang Ning sat up.

"I have two movie tickets, do I want to go to the movies together?" Cheng Xi munched on an apple while making a phone call, smiling lightly.

"When did you think of going to the movies, it doesn't suit your style. Fang Ning said with a smile.

"My sister bought it online, and she was going to go to the movies with her roommates, but she couldn't go there temporarily, so she gave it to me. Cheng Xi honestly confessed that Cheng Ying bought the ticket online, and now she is too lazy to refund the ticket, so she directly cares about her sister Cheng Xi.

Fang Ning snorted and almost choked, "I thought you had a brain open, and you wanted to have a romantic date!"

"Don't make trouble!" Cheng Xi said softly, with a hint of pampering.

"Well, don't be poor, when will you go to see it?" Fang Ning coughed twice, and got serious.

"Tomorrow, I haven't looked carefully at the tickets I bought......" Cheng Xi's voice was much quieter, he got up to pour tea, and looked at the movie tickets by the way.

Fang Ning was idle, so he also got up and went to the toilet, waiting for Cheng Xi to come back.

"I just watched it, the movie schedule is 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes', what a strange name, is the protagonist an orangutan?"

As soon as Fang Ning heard the name, he immediately understood, this is the movie that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Special Effects, the protagonist is called Caesar, as for the content of the story, he has a vague impression and can't remember clearly, when he heard Cheng Xi say to watch this time, he still nodded, "At least it's not a bad movie from the name." ”

"Well, that's agreed, we have tickets at half past nine, and we will meet at the gate of No. 1 Middle School when the time comes. Cheng Xi said.

"Okay. ”

"Anything else?"

"It's gone. ”

"Then I'll hang up first. ”

The next morning, the fog on the street had not yet cleared, and the smell of breakfast buns was still lingering on the street.

Office workers are waiting for the train on the platform with their backpacks diagonally, looking listless, high-grade office workers are driving out of their garages, buying breakfast on the street and then leaving the dust, the fog is still very big on the riverside, the humidity is heavy along the river, the old men and aunts are running and exercising in the scenery along the river, and the figure is looming in the white mist.

Fang Ning waited for the sun to come out and the morning fog cleared before going out.

When he arrived at the gate of No. 1 Middle School, he looked at the time, half past eight, half an hour in advance, he stood in this position, and could see the students coming in and out of the gate of No. 1 Middle School, most of these were boarders who came out to buy daily necessities, and the business of the milk tea shop stationery store opposite was also much better than usual.

Cheng Xi also came half an hour early, dressed in white jeans, with long hair tied into a ponytail, a headband at the end of the hair, and a long tail at the waist.

"What's wrong? Look stupid. Cheng Xi smiled and put his hands behind his back.

"How do I feel that you are more beautiful today?" Fang Ning scratched his head.

"You mean I wasn't pretty before?" Cheng Xi gritted his teeth.

"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. Fang Ning pretended to be surprised and read a poem from the ancients to praise Cheng Xi.

"Okay, don't be poor, don't you have breakfast?" Cheng Xi has known him for almost three years, three years is not a long time, and it is not a long time, but it is enough to change a person, and this year is also the fourth year.

"Nope. Fang Ning replied.

"Then let's go have breakfast first. ”

Fang Ning knew that there was a noodle restaurant next to No. 1 Middle School, which was said to taste very good, but he had also been there, and he didn't know where it was, but Yu Xiaole knew it, but unfortunately he took Liu Meiting there.

Cheng Xi took Fang Ning away, and soon found this noodle restaurant, there was no signboard, nor any advertising signs, it was just an ordinary restaurant, not at all conspicuous, no wonder it was not eye-catching.

Fang Ning ordered a bowl of noodle soup, and Cheng Xi ate wide noodles, which are rich in ingredients, all kinds of mustard, and eat as much as you want.

The base of the owner's cooking noodles is not simply soaked in soy sauce and green onion oil, but the green vegetables and pork belly are copied together, and then copied into the bowl to make the base after the color and flavor are complete, and the high bone broth that begins to stew at 4 o'clock in the morning is used as the soup.

The owner is loyal and honest, and the money he collects is not expensive, and a bowl of noodle soup with fried pork belly with green vegetables and a poached egg is only six yuan, which is completely small and does not seem to be very profitable.

Fang Ning secretly wrote down the location of this restaurant, thinking that he would eat here next time, at least it would be much more attentive and sincere than the noodle soup restaurant next door.

There are two cinemas in Pinghai Town, one is in Lao Street, and the other is at the intersection of Chucai Road.

At this time, it was still nine o'clock, and there was still half an hour before the screening time, and they didn't want to go in and wait, so they first punched out the movie tickets in front of the cinema, and then went to a Miyuan West Point opposite to sit and chat.

Two cups of coffee in the hand, bitter with a hint of sweetness.

Fang Ning remembered something, "By the way, half a month ago, what happened to Li Sisi's affairs?"

As soon as she talked about this matter, Cheng Xi had a little headache, it was the first time she had met a girl like Li Sisi, which made her helpless.

Fang Ning frowned slightly at her, a little strange, and asked what's wrong?

"Seriously, Li Sisi's imagination is really wild, and I can't keep up with her thinking at all. Cheng Xi didn't know how to evaluate it.

Fang Ning's face was strange, and he didn't quite understand what Cheng Xi meant.
