Winter in the Northern Hemisphere has short days and long nights, and it is already completely dark before 5 p.m. Yuan Lu walked on the way to the subway after work, the street lamps on the road cast her shadow far away, and the passers-by around passed by from time to time, and could always hear passers-by discussing New Year's affairs.

There are still three days to go before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and two days ago, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang had already dusted the inside and out of Qiao's house, and the vases of the size of the family were also replaced with fresh plums of different colors.

It was close to 7 o'clock when I got home from work, Aunt Zhang stewed a pot of jujube ginseng chicken soup, and as soon as Yuan Lu opened the door, Aunt Zhang picked up the stew pot from the stove, and said while serving the soup: "Lulu, did Nong's parents say how to live in Chinese New Year's Eve?" Your parents don't seem to be coming back, your aunt means to let you and Aqi go to their house, and you and Aunt Liu will also go back to their son's house for the New Year. ”

Yuan Lu took off his boots and propped his hands on the shoe cabinet and asked, "Did my brother say when he would come back?" "It's been almost ten days on a business trip, and there is no news at all, and Yuan Lu almost thought he was going back to Boston.

Aunt Zhang said: "I hung up the phone for him in the afternoon, it seemed to be in a meeting, and I didn't say a few words, but your brother said that he would definitely come back for the New Year, and I said to him in vain, 'It's hard to come back this year for the New Year, where is there still someone who works until the Chinese New Year's Eve', and he is still laughing there, is it so funny?" If he doesn't come back, he always has to be considerate of his parents and elders when he comes back. ”

Yuan Lu put aside the topic and said: "Grandma, you and Aunt Liu should also take annual leave, Aunt Liu's daughter-in-law wants to take a longer break when she is pregnant this year, didn't she say that the due date will be in mid-February, and it just so happens that it will still be the New Year, I have already told her to let her rest for a longer time, and there will be more people at home. ”

Aunt Zhang said in an envious tone: "Sister Liu is so blessed, this is the third grandson, and she has caught up with the two-child policy, so you don't have to worry that if you have a grandson, son and daughter-in-law, you won't be able to keep your job. ”

Yuan Lule said happily: "Isn't grandma about to become a grandma?" ”

When Aunt Zhang thought of her son and daughter-in-law, she complained angrily: "It's the fifth year of marriage and the sixth year is about to be the sixth, but I don't give birth, what kind of life is stressful, how much pressure will I have when I am young, I won't give birth if I don't see it, and now these children's thoughts can't be cleared, do your parents pull you up well, do you hope that you will have no one to support you in the future?" He was good, he blocked me with a word, saying that when he was old, the facilities and services of the nursing home would also follow, and he would live in the nursing home, and I was so angry that I ......"

Yuan Lu walked to the kitchen, turned on the faucet and flushed his hand, and comforted: "Young people have young people's ideas, and now the pressure is really high, the housing prices in C City are high and even buying a toilet is enough for the white-collar workers of the working class to struggle for three and a half years, and now I don't worry about letting children drink domestic milk powder, what purchasing agents are flying all over the sky, two days ago we also reported a news in Taiwan, a woman went to Australia and came back to smuggle twelve cans of milk powder but was detained by the customs, and now children have been in cram schools and various talent classes since they were young, What is not an iron-clad account of silver? ”

Aunt Zhang was discouraged by Yuan Lu's words, and sighed helplessly: "I don't see that I can raise children like this, how come the world has become like this after more than 30 years." ”

Yuan Lu thought slightly, maybe the problem faced by Aunt Zhang's son and daughter-in-law is the problem that she will face soon, the old man's thoughts should indeed be run in with the young people's ideas, otherwise the family conflict will definitely intensify.

"How did Aqi talk to the girl on a blind date last time? Aunt Nong also called me to ask if Aqi had brought someone to the house for dinner, and I said that he hadn't even seen anyone on a business trip and didn't know the progress. ”

Yuan Lu laughed dryly, wiped his hands with a tissue, and said, "Ask him himself." ”

**********

At night, Wu Jin had a bureau in the Jing Bar, calling Yuan Lu and Lin Mu to go over, when Yuan Lu and Lin Mu arrived, they saw several little tender models sitting next to Wu Jin, Wu Jin smiled and beckoned them to sit beside him, and coaxed the little tender models aside.

"Yo, why are you sons and brothers so good, I have always had a doubt in my heart, and I have to ask Wu Dashao to explain it to me today." Yuan Lu called a glass of Margaret, his face was serious, but his tone was careless.

Wu Jin put two pieces of ice in the wine glass and asked, "What are the doubts?" ”

Yuan Lu's eyes looked Wu Jin up and down, and asked, "Do you remember the appearance of those tender models with those eyes?" One by one, it is as if the mold factory poured out of the mold, and the awl face, pouting lips, and double eyelid spacing are as wide as the Pacific Ocean, which is aesthetic...... Gee. ”

Wu Jin shook his head, snorted, and joked: "What's the matter, it's okay for your Lin Mu to be aesthetically pleasing?" ”

Wu Jin's words have a deep meaning, this is another joke about Lin Mu's beating of people when he was in junior high school, but unfortunately Yuan Lu didn't understand, glanced at him with his eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you call Yao Fei today?" Usually you are mostly soaked in the honey of the phone, and the oil in your mouth makes me listen to it with chills on the side. ”

Wu Jin took a sip of stuffy wine and did not answer.

Yuan Lu took the wine glass handed by the waiter, held the tall glass handle, and shook the wine inside: "Quarreled?" ”

Wu Jin threw the wine glass to the bar: "Sensei, it's fun to call you out, don't lose the fun." ”

Yuan Lu glanced at him, pouted and said, "Come on, you come and go in the wind and fire, you have to go to Gansu, if you want me to say that you really should be scolded." What kind of identity do you want to go to someone's house? This Chinese New Year, where are people everywhere in the village and outside the village, you have to greet you when you go to someone's house, right? The countryside is not as good as the city, a little wind and grass say that the wind is rain, have you ever thought about Yao Fei? To put it mildly, in case you don't make it to the end in the future, what will Yao Fei do when she goes back? You don't understand the rules of the countryside, you can, but at least you have to think about Yao Fei, she is not like you, she is bored in the bar, and she can't afford to play this kind of thing. ”

Wu Jin was silent by what she said.

Lin Mu asked people to clean up the drinks spilled on the bar and ordered a glass of lemonade for Wu Jin.

Wu Jin gritted his teeth, just moved his lips and swallowed the words on his lips, glared at Yuan Lu and said, "You have rules." ”

What he said hurt people, and he even scolded Yuan Lu with him, and Yuan Lu sneered and ignored him.

Lin Mu patted him on the shoulder: "Say a few words, the words on your head will be difficult to collect." ”

Wu Jin: "I don't have to go to her house, it's just that I haven't seen her for almost a month, I went to see her for a plane ticket, but the reaction was so big that I lost my mood, and Lao Tzu's kindness was kicked like a donkey's liver." ”

Yuan Lu poured the wine, threw the wine glass on the bar, and asked proudly: "Who will buy this order today?" ”

Wu Jin glanced at her, and his arrogance weakened slightly: "Can you drink it short?" I buy. ”

Yuan Lu: "Bring me two cans of beer!" ”

Wu Jin: "......"

Wu Jin hurriedly gave Lin Mu a look, Yuan Lu had already figured out the amount of wine he had at the class reunion last time, three bottles were poured, and it took two ties, so he really thought he was a cowhide that couldn't be broken.

The waiter quickly served two beers, but Yuan Lu pushed all the beers in front of Wu Jin, pointed to the beer and said, "Drink!" Isn't this a place to be angry, drink, drink a good drink, turn around and drink out of stomach bleeding, see if Yao Fei doesn't rush from Gansu to see you. Don't you want to see you, I'll make sure you see you. ”

Wu Jin glared at the two beers in front of him, and shouted in his mouth: "The most poisonous woman's heart, Lin Mu has seen it?" The bad water in Yuan Lu's stomach is not less than ours, if I really drink something wrong, Yao Fei won't chop me when I turn around?! ”

Lin Mu is on the side of Yuan Lu, resolutely selling his brother to support women, for the sake of women, the knife mountain and the sea of fire will never change color, and he opened his mouth and said: "Ah, this way, you can drink with confidence, I will help you call 120 by the way, and by the way, I will notify Yao Fei to come to the hospital to receive someone." ”

Wu Jin was so troubled by them that he suddenly felt that the breath in his chest was smoothed out, so he pretended to be an aggrieved little daughter-in-law and hung up the phone to make a small report to Yao Fei, and the two of them got tired of being on the phone again within a few minutes.

Lin Mu really admired Yuan Lu's way of persuasion, and Wu Jin's strong temper was the only one she dared to follow the cow's nose, this excitement made Wu Jin like a meow's little milk cat, sticky and naughty.

Yuan Lu clinked glasses with Lin Mu and asked, "Do you plan to go out to play during the New Year?" C City is running to the south in the cold, and the recent haze is strict, and it is difficult to take a breath, so it is even more necessary to run to the south. ”

Lin Mu heard what she said and asked, "Do you want to go to the south?" ”

Yuan Lu looked down at the wine in the wine glass, and smiled faintly: "Maybe, I've been in City C for a long time, and I haven't left here since I went to high school and college to work, and I want to go out one day to see it, at least to see what the world is like, I always feel like the world is like this after staying in a place for a long time." ”

Lin Mu said to her in a very restrained tone: "I have walked through many places, and I will feel that the original origin is the place I want to go to the most, but unfortunately I am often far away from the original point when I find it, and it is not so easy to go back even if I want to." ”

Yuan Lu glanced at the resident singer who was quietly playing the guitar downstairs and said, "I don't have the point where I want to go back, at least not now." ”

Lin Mu listened to the loss for a moment, he found that Yuan Lu seemed to be very evasive of the previous things, maybe it was because he was not by her side at the beginning and didn't know what she had experienced, and he couldn't experience the pain of the skin, so he felt that at least he shouldn't belong to the original time when she avoided it, and now it seems that Yuan Lu's heart is far from being as approachable as he imagined.

He changed the subject and asked, "Is the internship still smooth?" Are you going to stay on TV in the future? ”

Yuan Lu was asked by him and remembered that there was still an interview to come out tomorrow, it was going to be Chinese New Year's Eve, the station was still stepping up the recording of the program to do the last wave of editing work before the year, the films recorded before the year could be arranged in series until the Lantern Festival, and she could finally take a long vacation during the period from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival.

"It's okay, almost every day to work overtime, sometimes simply stay in Taiwan overnight, the most troublesome thing is the news accident, but I'm still afraid of what, the leader just was trained two days ago, and even the office was hazy for several days, but fortunately, the New Year is coming soon, and it's okay to slip away, haha. As for where to stay...... I don't know myself. ”
