"For passengers going to Beijing, please note that the check-in process will start for the xxx flight you have taken, please go to the check-in counter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Thank you dies and gentlemen..."
At Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Gu Ruo, Wang Hao and Xiao You walked to the waiting room with the flow of people after hearing the announcement.
After Liu Haishan's first treatment, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, Wang Hao left Liu's house and headed directly to the airport, Gu Ruo and Xiaoyou were already waiting for him at the airport.
"I remember, Uncle Du once said that your Gu family should be in a certain city in the south, why do we want to go to Beijing?"
"South?" Gu Ruohe said with a smile: "As early as ten years ago, we moved to Beijing at home. Our relatives all live in Beijing, but my grandfather, father, and uncle are still there. It's been about 11 years, and I'm going to live in Beijing for 11 years. ”
Wang Hao nodded, I see. At the beginning, he clearly remembered that Du Junhao once said that he was the Gu family he met in the south before going to Hong Kong. Beijing, not bad. I don't know if the chubby guy has come home from vacation, I guess I haven't contacted him for a while.
After the three of them boarded the plane, Xiao You looked a little cramped, this was her first time on a plane, sitting between Gu Ruo and Wang Hao, her two small hands tightly holding the handles on both sides.
Looking at Xiao You's cute appearance, Wang Hao smiled, helped her fasten her seat belt, and comforted her, but when the plane passed through the long runway and went straight into the sky, Xiao You still subconsciously clenched Wang Hao's hand, it felt like his heart was taking off with the plane, and he almost jumped out of his throat.
More than two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at the airport in Beijing. As soon as I got out of the cabin, a chill hit. Wang Hao couldn't help but shudder! Gu Ruo said with a smile: "The winter here is not comparable to Shanghai." ”
After leaving the airport, the three of them got into a taxi, and the driver was a man in his thirties with a thick Beijing accent. "Handsome guy and beautiful woman, where are we going?"
Gu Ruo and Xiao You sat in the back row and reported their addresses.
On the way to Gu Ruo's house, the driver's uncle may have been accustomed to chatting with guests. One will ask this, the other will ask that. Wang Hao sat beside him and began to chat with the driver.
"Little brother, I'm not from Beijing when I hear you!"
"Big brother, you are amazing, my family is from Luoyang. This is the first time to come to our capital Beijing! ”
"I see that the three of you are all college students, right? Oh, come to Beijing for a winter vacation. Yes, the winter in Beijing, that's beautiful, not to mention our Forbidden City Great Wall, the Beijing courtyard that the young lady just said. Bluestone bricks, red tile covers, old wells on the streets, and authentic snacks in Beijing in the deep alleys..."
"Hey, big brother. What are our special snacks? ”
"Hey! You've met me today, but you've met the right person. If you want to talk about our snacks in Beijing, then I have to give you a good introduction, if you don't eat donkey meat once in Beijing, don't drink a big bowl of bean juice, you don't know what life in Beijing is..."
Gu Ruo listened to the conversation between Wang Hao and the driver in the back, and shook his head with a smile. And Xiao You has been silent since she got off the plane, her eyes have always been staring at the scenery on the roadside outside the window, and she doesn't know whether she is looking at the snowflakes left on the street lamp, or looking at the haze of lights or starlight in the dark night.
The car didn't stop until it came to the deep alley. Wang Hao got out of the car and took out the salute of the three people.
"Goodbye, brother, drive slowly." With a smile on his face, Wang Hao waved goodbye to the driver.
"Alright, don't be reluctant. We've got to go inside for a while. Gu Ruo glanced at Wang Hao angrily, pointed to the dark alley and said.
Where they are now, as the driver said, the courtyards with bluestone walls, some mottled red lacquered wooden doors. In some of the courtyards, the laughter of residents can be heard from time to time.
Gu Ruo dragged his box to lead the way in front, and Wang Hao and Xiao You followed side by side for about another four or five minutes. The three of them stopped at the door of a courtyard.
Before Gu Ruo stepped forward and knocked on the door, a courtyard door next to him suddenly opened, and a young man walked out of it, seeing Gu Ruo stunned at first, and then an amiable smile appeared on his face.
"Gu Ruo! You're back... Hahaha..."
Gu Ruo looked at the somewhat rough voice, with the same smile on his face. "It's Brother Daqi, well, I'm back from vacation."
"Look at you, this winter! You just wear these clothes, hurry up and go to the house first..."The man seemed to be very familiar with Gu Ruo, walked over quickly, looked at Gu Ruo's somewhat thin coat and said. Immediately, without waiting for Gu Ruo to speak, he opened his throat again and shouted to the courtyard: "Uncle Gu, open the door quickly!" Your family Gu Ruo is back! ”
Wang Hao and Xiao You were both startled by his sudden voice, but the man didn't care about the two people around him at all, but smiled at Gu Ruo.
"Brother Daqi, these two are my college classmates, and they came back to Beijing with me to play. You're going out, aren't you? ”
The man was still smirking at himself, glanced at Wang Hao and Xiao Yu, and immediately moved his gaze back to Gu Ruo's face.
"Well, it's not, my wife asked me to make soy sauce! Hehehe..."
At this time, the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man walked out. His gaze fell directly on Gu Ruo's face, and he immediately laughed.
"Xiao Ruo, you're back, why don't you call in advance. I'll drive you up too..."
"Dad, your daughter is so old, can she always let you pick it up. Let's go, let's go in and say..."Gu Ruo handed the box in his hand into the hands of the middle-aged man, and then turned back to Wang Hao and Xiao You and said.
"Okay, I'm going to get soy sauce, you guys go in..."
"Daqi, come and play when you have time." The middle-aged man said a word to Daqi, then looked at Wang Hao and Xiaoyou and said, "Come, come, come." Come inside, it's so cold outside..."
Walking into the courtyard, what comes into view is a stone wall screen, the main room is lit around the screen, there are three wings on the left and right, and the courtyard is very neat and clean.
Gu Ruo and her father walked in front and were talking, while Wang Hao looked around in the moonlight.
Pushing the door in, the old and young of the Gu family had already gathered, and the sound of stir-frying was coming from the kitchen. On the sofa, a white-haired old man was holding a child of two or three years old in his arms, and beside him sat a pair of men, both about thirty years old.
When the woman saw Gu Ruo and them enter the house, she was the first to greet them. "Xiao Ruo is back, it's not cold, look at what you're wearing, it's so thin."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not cold, where will it be cold in the car all this way." Gu Ruo smiled and greeted the woman. Hurriedly turned back to her father and said, "Dad, you can help my classmate put the salute first." ”
After Gu Ruo's introduction, it was Gu Ruo's father who went to open the door, who was responsible for keeping vigil for you at night, and the work was easy, Gu Ruo's mother was at home to take care of her brother and sister-in-law. A man and woman in their thirties are Gu Ruo's brother and sister-in-law.
And the white-haired old man is Gu Ruo's grandfather, the current head of the Mai faction - Gu Shangren. The old man was holding the youngest baby of the Gu family in his arms, Gu Ruo's brother's child, the little boy was very pleasing, his chubby little face was always smiling, and a pair of big eyes kept looking at Wang Hao and Gu Ruo.
At the beginning of the sumptuous dinner, Old Man Gu sat in the first place, and instructed Brother Gu Ruo beside Wang Hao: "Xiao Cheng, go and bring the bottle of wine in my house, let's drink some today." ”
Gu Cheng nodded with a smile, glanced at Wang Hao beside him, and got up to get the wine.
"Xiao Ruo, your two friends are very good..."Old Man Gu glanced at Gu Ruo, his eyes seemed to be very casual and swept over Wang Hao and Xiao You's bodies, and he exclaimed.
It seemed to be a casual glance, but Wang Hao and Xiao You were nervous almost at the same time. They are like two transparent people who are seen through by each other, and there is nowhere to hide.
Wang Hao was better, after all, Old Man Gu was not hostile. But Xiao You began to get nervous, his little hands were tangled under the table, and he didn't dare to look at the old man with his little head down.
Gu Ruo found out about Xiao You's situation, glanced at his grandfather, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Xiao You. Said comfortingly: "Xiaoyou, don't be afraid. Aren't you hungry, my mother's cooking is delicious, come and try this..."
Gu Lao didn't care about Gu Ruo's white eyes, but nodded secretly in his heart, Wang Hao's calmness and concentration just now made him feel good.
At this time, Gu Cheng brought back a bottle of Gu Lao's good wine, and several men poured a glass one by one, and the dinner party officially began.
