Chapter 10: The Great Meal
In the early spring in the north, the night still came a little early, and I rubbed it for a long time, and when I went downstairs, it was even darker, and it was pressed down heavily, pressed on the dim street lamp, like a cover for moths.
I walked through the cocoon, stirring Gao Qiang, who was standing crookedly under the street lamp, and shook like a wick seedling.
Gao Qiang's face was reflected in the light as a black mask, and I could only guess if I couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing him kick left and right, I guess he was a little numb after standing for a long time, or he was simply impatient to wait.
Just joking, yelling for me to have a big meal, waiting for a while and getting impatient. Hmph, I'm impatient, I've got to wait, who told you to call me. I don't accept it in my heart, and I have to pretend to be a lady on the surface.
"Wait......" The deliberately low and soft voice spat out from the tightened throat, making me feel like someone had stepped on my neck.
"Hmm...... No rush ......"
I opened my mouth and wanted to ask him, are you in a hurry or not, first admit it and then deny it, but the words came to my lips. "You're going to treat me to a big dinner? Wouldn't it be a surprise like last time, and end up gnawing on the fish's head in the dust? ”
I was always a little overdisguised before, and suddenly my mouth was unforgiving, and I teased Gao Qiang a few times, but I didn't make a sound.
Realizing that I had spoken too much, I immediately stopped my mouth suddenly. Looking left and right at the dark street corner formed by the cold air, the end of the I-shaped street seemed to hide from someone, I knew it, and I couldn't find it in the daytime, hiding in the corner of the street and poking my head out waiting for me to find it.
It shouldn't be like this, it's really getting more and more excessive, how can you think of a ghost in front of a person?
"Sigh......" I can't help but sigh when I think of this. People's hearts are really ruthless, no matter how much you and I are alive, if you are angry, the love will be gone, and what you love or not has become a joke. Otherwise, I would have been standing here.
"What, what about the condiments?"
"Flutter...... Hahahaha......"
Beans are beans! I covered my mouth and was amused by Gao Qiang, and the giggles were muffled in my hands, accompanied by Gao Qiang's laughter, and when I was laughing happily, I suddenly saw someone from the corner of the street, and walked towards this side with my head down.
I froze in shock, smiling at my eyebrows, and covered my stunned mouth with my hands. Seeing the people coming from far and near, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
It wasn't until the staggering time that I saw that it was a tall and thin old man, and he was carrying a backpack, which was a bit of a rejuvenating mood after returning from school. I could see it clearly, and I couldn't help but pat my chest with my hand.
"Girl, let's do a good help, I came here to give my old mother a funeral, but the thief stole the money on the way, and I can't go back......" The old man suddenly stopped when he got closer, and after speaking bitterly, he wiped his face with his sleeve. It was gray under the lamp, and I didn't know what he was wiping.
Gao Qiang didn't say anything, turned around and motioned for me to follow.
I have never met a beggar on the street, and if there is one, I will give some, and I will not pretend to ignore it and walk away. But now people come over and beg, and they are reasonable, and there is a black hoop on the right arm, embroidered with snow-white filial piety. Where else can I not help? I hurriedly went through my wallet. Seeing this, Gao Qiang hurriedly took three or two steps and came over to hold my hand, and asked with a smile.
"Old man, it seems that he is not young, is your mother long-lived?"
The old man sighed when he heard the question, "In the old days, people got married early and had children early, I am an old child, and my mother is ninety-seven this year." ”
"Oh, it's ninety-seven, it's not easy......" Gao Qiang turned his head and said softly, and the old man also cooperated to hide his face and let out a whining cry. Suddenly, bitterness sounded in my ears...... Wow...... Hey, he was about to open his voice but it broke......
"What is it?"
As soon as Gao Qiang's words came out, he immediately stuck to the old man like super glue, his sleeves stuck to his face, and his feet stuck to the ground, frozen.
Gao Qiang grabbed me and turned around and left, don't look at his bean-like, I only have to chase and run on the foot.
When I was almost at the corner, I stole a glance back and saw that the old man was long gone, except for a dark shadow under the street lamp that stuck to the ground and did not move.
Hey, it's just a small Pinocchio.
Gao Qiang pulled me around the corner and got into the car.
"It really made me wait. ”
As soon as Gao Qiang and I got into the car, before our buttocks were firmly seated, there was a hissing sound of a pig waiting to be slaughtered, which I naturally recognized.
How could it be him? How could Liu Hanyu be with Gao Qiang? It seems that he is still very familiar. The two of them have known each other since the last time they met at my doorstep, and they have only been together for a few days, so they have known each other so well?
"Don't mention it, I've run into an old bastard......"
I was almost deceived just now, and Gao Qiang guarded my face and scolded the man. The eye knife can also kill pigs, Liu Hanyu just opened his mouth to ask questions, and I threw an eye knife from the rearview mirror, and immediately swallowed the words back into his stomach, grinning back at the corners of his mouth, and smiled brightly at me through the rearview mirror.
I've always been a person with cold eyebrows, and suddenly I smile at you like a coax, and I smile so brightly, although I'm so ugly, but I'm still very cool, and even the angry words with high strength don't sound so harsh.
"What are we going to eat?"
Gao Qiang saw that I didn't want to talk to him, bent his mouth and didn't answer Liu Hanyu's words, turned his head to look at me and smiled.
I didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore, but suddenly I saw him smiling at me with deep meaning, and I immediately had a flash of inspiration, could it be Liu Hanyu, a pig-headed treat? I hid in my seat and quietly pointed at Liu Hanyu, who was driving with a firelight, and nodded slightly in response.
Okay!
"Sea cucumber, abalone, lobster!" Anyway, Gao Qiang, this bastard said that he was going to have a big meal, not to mention that someone paid for it.
"Okay!" Liu Hanyu laughed more than I did, and the car drove to the most famous seafood restaurant in the city......
Isn't he in pain, or did he make a fortune as a successful Pinocchio?
The forced debt has become an uncle who treats him, and he is scared, and life is lively everywhere.
In addition to the three items he ordered before, Gao Qiang ordered an extra piece of bamboo razor clams and a few side dishes.
It's not good to eat seafood and beer, Gao Qiang and Liu Hanyu drink spicy liquor as brothers, and I am responsible for eating.
The sea cucumber tastes like undercooked vermicelli, the abalone looks like a potato, and the lobster is served on a large plate, with a boat-shaped body and its meat on top.
People, even if they are powerful, cruelty can be put on the table and done so beautifully. Chew slowly and saliva to swallow the lobster meat into my stomach, and secretly taste the lobster meat to my taste.
Oh, eat more if you want to eat more, and it's worth the sacrifice of lobster. Oops, my mouth is almost out of control......
People are not afraid of greed, moderation is enough.
When I reached the critical point of saturation, I resolutely put down my chopsticks. Slowly sip the ginger tea that Gao Qiang specially ordered.
The best accompaniment for men and men to drink is bragging. Liu Hanyu brags without limits, and Gao Qiang brags without showing traces.
I sat in a closed soft-box with tea in my hand, a sparkling crystal chandelier on my head, and the mirror was not used to illuminate people, but only the corpses of various kinds of seafood, as if they had been mistakenly thrown into the Dead Sea, floating on the surface waiting to be fished, and throwing a large piece of stump with severed limbs. There were two people sitting next to him, still chewing and fishing......
It is said that eating meat is burying a corpse in the stomach. Who doesn't like to bury? I like it anyway, and so do both of them.
When I was full and looking for some nausea to digest, I burped contentedly.
"Have you eaten yet?"
The weather vane on the dinner table was always marked to Gao Qiang, and suddenly turned his head to me, after all, he was not very comfortable, and I nodded hurriedly.
The two people with more faces than Guan Gong were about to stop taking a sip of wine, and the wind in the private room had stopped.
Liu Hanyu found the wet towel and wiped his mouth, wiped the stickiness on his hand, took the bag and found a crumpled piece of paper, and unfolded it neatly.
"......," Liu Hanyu grabbed the paper and pointed at me.
I can clearly see that it is an IOU that I owe to my eldest cousin. My face was flushed, as if I had been plucked out in front of Gao Qiang.
The note was torn to shreds, and it burned in front of me and Gao Qiang. took out two bundles of Grandpa Mao from his bag, said that it was time for the season to change and let me buy a few clothes to wear, and pushed them in front of me with a smile and asked me to smile.
I can't laugh and I can't put it away. I've never seen anyone who doesn't pay back the money.
Look at Gao Qiang on the left, and look at Liu Hanyu on the right, who seems to have picked up a big bargain. It turned out that the dishes on the table were just a small dish, and these two bundles of tickets were the real feast. But I'm full......
