After dinner in the evening, Zhao Meimei was bored in the balcony picking up New Year's goods sent by others. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Yang walked in and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”
Zhao Meimei turned her head and looked up at him: "Tomorrow I will go to Xu Xu's house to play, and I want to pick up some good things to send over." ”
"Xu Xu?" Shi Yang asked in surprise, "When did you get in touch?" ”
Zhao Meimei said: "On the evening of the 30th, he sent me a message to greet the New Year, so I called him back and made an appointment to go to his house tomorrow." ”
Shi Yang sighed, looked at Zhao Meimei rummaging around in the New Year's goods pile, and couldn't help but say: "The things sent over are all good things, do you need to take so much trouble to choose?" ”
There was naturally a hint of vinegar in his voice.
Zhao Meimei didn't reply: "Of course I used it, like amber walnuts, you like to eat, blueberry juice I love to drink, I won't take these for him, and when we go back to the provincial capital, take them all away, and we will keep them for ourselves." ”
Shi Yang: "。。。。。。 ”
Since going to college, Zhao Meimei has never been to Xu Xu's house.
Xu Xu's school is far away, and he usually stays in the local area to work to earn tuition during the summer vacation, and only comes back for a few days during the winter vacation.
Zhao Meimei had been staying in the provincial capital for the New Year before, and the two had no chance to meet and get together.
When Zhao Meimei knocked on the door, it was Xu's mother who opened the door.
Zhao Meimei's voice called sweetly: "Auntie, Happy New Year." ”
Mother Xu was pleasantly surprised: "Oops! Meimei, quick, get inside, don't stand at the door! ”
Xu Xu came out of the kitchen when he heard the movement, and the two of them were stunned, they hadn't seen each other for two years, and the changes were not small.
Xu Xu cut the short hair crisp and neat, the broken hair has a fluffy feeling without blowing, and the half-long layer on the top of the head is permed into a large curl, and the short level just modifies the delicate contours of the face, what surprised Zhao Meimei the most was that Xu Xu actually wore a pair of black-framed glasses.
Zhao Meimei changed her shoes and entered the house, handed the New Year's goods to Xu Xu, and asked, "Why are you still short-sighted?" ”
Xu Xu said with a smile: "Actually, I was a little short-sighted at the time of the college entrance examination, and I didn't take it seriously at the time, but it's okay, the degree is not high." ”
Mother Xu pulled Zhao Meimei and said warmly: "Oh, Meimei is really getting more and more beautiful." ”
Zhao Meimei's thin eyelids lifted, and she smiled meekly and well-behaved: "Auntie, I'm embarrassed if you praise me again." ”
Zhao Meimei looked at Xu Xu wearing an apron and asked, "What were you doing in the kitchen just now?" ”
Xu Xu said: "I want you to taste my craft." ”
Zhao Meimei's eyes showed surprise: "When did you learn it?" ”
Zhao Meimei followed Xu Xu to the kitchen.
The cutting board is stacked with broken cauliflowers, and there are torn mushrooms in a large pot next to it.
Xu Xu: "I used to help deliver food in a small restaurant near the school, and in my spare time, I learned two dishes from the kitchen master, and I will give you fried cauliflower and mushrooms for a while, which are very delicious." ”
Xu Xu skillfully poured oil into the hot pot, cauliflower and mushrooms wrapped in noodles and threw them in oil to fry, and after a while, Jin Cancan packed a pot, and finally passed the oil again, and when it came out of the pot again, Xu Xu picked out a piece with chopsticks and handed it to Zhao Meimei's mouth: "Taste it." ”
Zhao Meimei opened her mouth and was about to bite, but Xu Xu hurriedly withdrew her hand and helped blow it: "Just out of the pot, be careful of the hot!" ”
Zhao Meimei tasted it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste was particularly good.
Xu Xu looked at her and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
Zhao Meimei chewed and chewed, and nodded again and again: "It's so delicious!" ”
Xu Xu smiled, revealing a satisfied expression: "I know that you must love to eat, I will fry more in a while and bring it back for you." ”
Zhao Meimei agreed with a smile.
Xu Xu said suddenly: "I plan to go abroad for graduate school after graduating from university, but my major is not academic enough, and it will be difficult to find a corresponding job in the future." ”
Zhao Meimei's eyes widened: "Are you planning to go abroad?" ”
Xu Xu nodded: "I have circled three universities, all of which have grants, as long as you are admitted, the tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, and you can also receive living expenses, and you can directly enter a foreign company to find a job after studying." ”
Zhao Meimei first said enviously: "Good thing! When you come back from studying abroad, you will be the one who has drunk foreign ink. After speaking, I thought about it, and I was a little reluctant: "This time you have gone further, you have gone abroad, and it is difficult to see you." ”
Xu Xu smiled and served her vegetables: "There are still two years, and now I just start to prepare." ”
As he spoke, the topic suddenly changed and he asked, "Just talking about me, what about you, how are you now?" You and your brother will be in the provincial capital in the future? ”
Zhao Meimei nodded: "Well, my brother has moved the company to the provincial capital, and after I graduate from college, I also plan to look for a job in the provincial capital." ”
Xu Xu lowered his eyes and fished out the fried cauliflower in the pot: "Your brother, is it still so good to you?" ”
Zhao Meimei smiled and said, "That's necessary, by the way, what about you?" Do you have a girlfriend? ”
Xu Xu: "No. ”
Zhao Meimei didn't believe it: "How come, you are so handsome, you study well, the girls who like you must be able to form a company, right?" ”
Xu Xu smiled bitterly: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say, there are few girls in our Institute of Science and Technology, and I really don't have time, I have to be busy working everywhere during the holidays, and now I have to prepare for going abroad, I go to the library every day to memorize words and practice listening, and I am really a friend, two years later, I still have to go abroad, there is really no need, it is time-consuming and laborious and can not get results." ”
Zhao Meimei reached out and patted Xu Xu on the shoulder as before: "Hold on for another two years, and when you really learn something, the hard work you have put in now will definitely be rewarded." ”
Xu Xu looked at Zhao Meimei and shrugged his shoulders in agreement, it has been like this since he was a child, only Zhao Meimei is the one who knows his true thoughts best, in a word.
The corners of Xu Xu's mouth curved happily, and he was especially glad that he chose to become friends with Zhao Meimei for life.
After eating, Zhao Meimei did not rush to leave, but stayed and Xu Xu to happily exchange her usual life and experience, the separation of two years did not cause any estrangement and distance between them, when they sat together to chat and laugh, the tacit feeling and warm atmosphere seemed to have never been separated.
I forgot the time when I chatted, and finally Xu's mother reminded: "It's almost half past eight, do you need to call home and tell me?" ”
The two of them noticed the time, and Zhao Meimei stood up: "Oh, I didn't pay attention to the time when I was chatting, isn't it too late!" ”
Xu Xu followed and got up: "I'll send you." ”
Xu's mother packed a big bag of fried cauliflower and mushrooms for Zhao Meimei, and specially packed a box of old brand cakes that Xu Xu took back during his vacation.
Xu's mother handed the things to Xu Xu and asked him to help carry them, dragged Zhao Meimei, and stuffed her with a red envelope: "This is the New Year's red envelope that my aunt gave you, you must accept it." ”
Zhao Meimei took it with a smile, bowed back to the New Year, and followed Xu Xu downstairs.
