Chapter II

The huge LED screen in the cinema is playing the current popular movie trailers, and the eye-stimulating pictures are wonderful and dazzling, attracting everyone waiting to enter the theater to stop and watch.

Tong Jiadai stood under the LED screen, not paying attention to the frequently jumping pictures, but looking ahead, looking at the road where people came and went in a daze.

This is the busiest commercial street in the center of Fengchuan, and it is the first weekend of New Year's Day, and it is crowded everywhere. This newly opened movie theater is located in the center of the commercial street, and it picked a good day to open, and the first three days are very rewarding, and the movie is 50% off and a double popcorn is given, and the scene is simply hot.

Tong Jiadai listened to the somewhat deafening background sound, and only felt that his brain was buzzing for a while.

was humming a little song boringly, when I heard the phone vibrate, took it out and looked, and a message popped up on WeChat, which was sent by Song Tiantian, a close friend: Where are you? Come out and drink milk tea.

Tong Jiadai banged on the screen with both hands: outside, waiting to watch a movie.

Within a few seconds, several WeChat messages popped up wildly: Yo, there is a situation?!

Through the screen, you can feel Song Tiantian's restless gossip heart, and Tong Jiadai frequently rolls her eyes.

Just as she was about to send a sentence back, Meng Anshi came over with popcorn and drinks, and she hurriedly finished her sentence: I'll tell you when I go back, and then quickly put away my phone.

"Give. Meng Anshi rushed back to look at Tong Jiadai and smiled, and handed her a drink, "I brought you Sprite, remember that you like to drink, right?"

Tong Jiadai, who took the drink, was stunned for a moment, and nodded weakly: "Yes...... Thank you. ”

'There's five minutes to go, we're here and waiting. ”

"Good. ”

Not knowing what to talk about, Tong Jiadai chose to turn around and continue to walk towards the road in a daze.

Meng Anshi sneered overhead: "A few years have passed, and I feel that you have not changed much." ”

Tong Jiadai looked up to the left, and saw Meng Anshi smiling, pointing a little finger and pointing at her: "The glasses have been changed, and I have the impression that I was wearing a black frame before, right?"

Tong Jiadai has been myopic since he was a child, and he has been wearing glasses since junior high school, but he has changed a total of three pairs over the years, of which the longest time he has worn is the black frame that Meng Anshi said, from the end of the college entrance examination to accompany her to enter the society, until last year I bought this pair of metallic thin-framed glasses, also because Song Tiantian said that this is popular now, and persuaded her to change.

Meng Anshi saw the girl on the other side biting the straw, staring at him with a pair of eyes, as if smiling, very puzzled: "What's wrong? ”

Tong Jiadai shook his head and looked away: "You have changed a lot. ”

"Oh, is it?" Meng Anshi raised his eyebrows, "Where has changed?" ”

"Everything has changed. Tong Jiadai held the drink in both hands, as if sighing and muttering.

The sound of the staff reminding the opening of the movie sounded behind him, blocking Meng Anshi's continued questioning.

"Let's get in. Tong Jiadai didn't wait for Meng Anshi to follow, and walked forward by himself.

The movie shown is a typical family popcorn movie, a clichΓ© commercial movie routine, but Tong Jiadai is used to paying full attention when watching movies, so it can be regarded as relish.

But even if you are focused, the corner of your eye will occasionally fall to the side unconsciously.

Meng Anshi didn't seem to be interested in this kind of film, and would take out his mobile phone from time to time, and he was absent-minded throughout the whole process, and he didn't eat a bite of popcorn, which made Tong Jiadai eat all the time.

Tong Jiadai suddenly felt that the movie in front of him was boring.

Thinking about today's separate movie appointment, she and Meng Anshi were forced together by the four parents, aren't they happy or unhappy, and in the same way, the other party must also lack enthusiasm.

It's just to cooperate with the performances of the elders.

The movie ended, and it was only five o'clock when I walked out of the movie theater, and it was just dinner time.

Meng Anshi opened his mouth and asked where to eat.

Tong Jiadai hesitated, but decided to say truthfully: "Why don't you go home for dinner, you just came back, Uncle Meng definitely wants you to go home more to accompany them." ”

"It's fine. Meng Anshi smiled, "Uncle Tong won't let you take me around Fengchuan?" ”

"Hey, my dad just made it his own way. "Tong Jiadai's subtext is that the elders are all polite words, and you should take it seriously.

"It's true that I haven't been back to Fengchuan for several years, and I feel that the changes around me are still quite big. ”

"Actually, there is nothing that has changed, just more shopping malls, less fireworks, more artificial scenery, and less natural scenery. Tong Jiadai pouted, as if he had a feeling, "Urban development, most of them. ”

Meng Anshi looked at her and smiled, and came over to add: "I can't see the stars yet." ”

Tong Jiadai was recalled by this sentence, and as soon as he thought about asking rhetorically, his shoulders felt enveloped by a force, and the whole person began to move forward.

Meng Anshi circled her with his arm, and a mellow voice sounded above her head: "Let's go, eat, and don't feel uncomfortable when you're full." ”

This smiling side face, this seemingly ridiculous word, and this sudden intimate action made Tong Jiadai panic, and before he could react, he was already led to the parking position.

My mind was confused, and I suddenly went back to the day when the first mock exam of the third year of high school ended, looking at Tong Jiadai, who was secretly sad because of his poor performance, and Meng Anshi, who had just come out of the examination room, also comforted himself with such a tone and such a move.

"Let's go, eat, don't think about it, you won't feel bad when you're full. ”

With that side face full of vitality and hope, Tong Jiadai felt that he would never forget it in his life.

I didn't feel uncomfortable, but now it's really uncomfortable.

Sitting in the car, Tong Jiadai didn't want to say a word, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to chat with Song Tiantian for a while.

Meng Anshi, who was in the driver's seat, asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Tong Jiadai perfunctory: "It's okay, you decide." ”

"Oh, it's only been a few years, and you've been cured of your picky eater?"

Tong Jiadai was frightened by this unforeseen teasing, and his fingers shaking violently as he was typing. She looked up sharply to the left, and Meng Anshi looked ahead, with a wicked smile on her face.

She was so angry in her heart that she couldn't find the words to refute for a while, but the villain in her head was already thunderous.

Could such a clever person not be able to see that she was just being polite?

I just said that he has changed everywhere, but now that I think about it, it's a big mistake, even if he changes his appearance, he just changes his skin, and this stinky problem that loves to make fun of her is still as bad as ever, which is annoying!

Since this is the case, she didn't need to be pretending to be polite, and gave an order directly: "Sauerkraut fish, turn left at the intersection in front of you and go downstairs to Darong Shopping Mall." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the side, accompanied by an exclamation: "This is the Tong Jiadai I know." ”

Tong Jiadai didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so he directly opened his mobile phone and began to swipe the circle of friends, liking wildly, and no matter what sound came from there, he didn't answer anymore.

The car was smoothly parked in the ground parking lot downstairs of the Tai Rong shopping mall.

"It's here. Meng Anshi pulled the handbrake and reminded Tong Jiadai to get out of the car.

Darong Shopping Mall is a relatively old shopping mall in Fengchuan, which opened relatively early, and its area is naturally not as large as those large shopping malls that are emerging now. Fortunately, it is precisely because of the old brand that the storefronts downstairs of the mall also opened early, and many of them have been there since they were in elementary school, and over the years, they have also been used to eating these flavors.

Tong Jiadai led Meng Anshi into a shop called "Authentic Sauerkraut Fish Restaurant", and as soon as he sat down, he ordered dishes neatly, without looking at the menu, and directly ordered a medium Laotan sauerkraut fish, a plate of roasted eggplant in sauce, a plate of fried cauliflower and a plate of slippery eggs, accompanied by two bowls of rice.

I used to eat often, and there were only a few back and forth dishes that I often ordered.

Meng Anshi waited for Tong Jiadai to finish ordering, and made a gesture to her: "Thank you, remember that I love eggplant." ”

Tong Jiadai generously accepted: "You're welcome." ”

She doesn't like to eat eggplant, this plate of sauce-roasted eggplant was specially ordered for Meng An, after all, when he was in junior high school, he had persistently argued with her on the topic of "why not eat eggplant", and he also went to consult his mother for this purpose, and made a sauce-roasted eggplant with clumsy cooking skills, in order to let her eat a bite to prove the deliciousness of eggplant.

Tong Jiadai still remembers the joy of hearing him cook for himself, and then the colorful color on his face when he saw the sauce-roasted eggplant.

At that time, she felt that the existence of Meng Anshi must have been sent by God to test her.

After all, he was always on the verge of angering her, and he tried and failed.

"Isn't there a barbecue around here, I used to go there often, remember?"

Tong Jiadai nodded: "Of course I remember." However, during this time, the boss closed the door and went home to visit relatives, if you want to eat, it is estimated that you will have to wait. ”

"Only come back after the Spring Festival?" Meng Anshi exclaimed: "Rest for so long." ”

Tong Jiadai shrugged: "Business has been so prosperous for so many years, the money has already been earned enough, and now that both children are complete, they must be blessed." ”

Meng Anshi nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but pity: "I still want to wait for the packing point to go back to them to eat, it's a pity." ”

"To your parents?"

"yes. ”

Tong Jiadai suddenly laughed: "How can the elders love to eat these hot things." If you want to buy a late-night snack, you might as well go to the stall and buy some casserole porridge. ”

Meng Anshi patted his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's me who didn't think it through." ”

Seeing him look down and not knowing what to ponder, it was a little pitiful, Tong Jiadai wanted to laugh, but he couldn't bear to see him like this, and he just wanted to do his filial piety, so why bother to blame, so he had to play a round.

"The old man doesn't eat too much at night, and it's okay if you don't buy it. You might as well take advantage of the time you come back to spend time with them and make them happy. ”

"During this time?" Meng Anshi raised his head, "What, didn't Uncle Tong tell you?"

"What did you say?" Tong Jiadai frowned.

"I came back this time, not for a temporary stay, but for the development of Fengchuan. ”

"Huh?" Tong Jiadai felt his jaw drop, "You're not leaving?"

It just so happened that the sauerkraut fish was ready at this time, and the boss brought the sauerkraut fish to the table.

Through the rising clouds and smoke, Tong Jiadai saw Meng Anshi, who was sitting opposite, showing a bright smile at her, and slowly spit out six words: "Yes, I'm not leaving." ”

This young man, who had set his ambition and said that he wanted to go out and have a good time, and he would not come back if he didn't have results, only four years later, he actually returned to the familiar Fengchuan.

Now, the boy has become an elite, but he said that he wants to stay and not leave.

Tong Jiadai was a little in a trance for a while.
