On the eve of the night of Obans, Cui returned to Wangdu, where he had been absent for two years. He came back very low-key, he didn't return to China for two years, the exposure was small, and the image of Wende changed a lot during this time to prepare for the role of Wende, and few people noticed it along the way. The first thing Cui Qi did when he arrived in Wangdu was to go to Jiuquxi's house to see, that piece had been demolished, and the tall buildings rising from the ground could be seen in the distance, the green gauze on the scaffolding had been half removed, and the gray cement structure on the top floor could be seen under the blue sky. Outside the wall of the construction site, there are posters and slogans of "Civilized Wangdu", next to which is a new wide road. It was only when he got closer to the school that he found a familiar feeling, the crape myrtles were stacked and blooming, and the deep green sycamores covered a shady road, dotted with dappled sunlight leaking from the leaves. The scenery of the campus is the same as back then, but the school's doorman seems to be more strict, he didn't brush his face, the security guard didn't recognize him, Cui Qi said that he was a graduate, the two security guards shook their heads and looked suspicious, they didn't let him in, and they couldn't say that they were alumni, Cui Qi had to give up, and he took a taxi to his sister's house.

"Outlander?" The taxi driver was talkative, and he kept introducing Wangdu for more than 20 minutes from Jiuquxi to the city center. The big star who recently won the Spree Best Actor, he is also from our Wangdu! Spree is the very good movie award, and it is the same level as the previous gold leaf of Guangtian, understand? Cui Qi, he is from us, and he still wants to go to high school in high school......"

Told by the people of his hometown in a proud tone, Cui Qi felt very complicated, and this complexity also included, obviously I was in front of you but you just didn't recognize my frustration, watching the taxi driver talk more and more flying, pulling the sky, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and replaced the dialect that Mandarin had not been used for a long time: "I know, I am from Wangdu." ”

"Hey~ya~" The taxi driver immediately replaced his Mandarin with a strong dialect accent, and this time he said it even more neatly: "I haven't been back for a long time outside, right?" Wangdu has changed a lot in the past few years, and I can't recognize it......"

"It's a big change," Cui Qi replied casually, not wanting the taxi driver to be more energetic, from the new project to the new hotel, from the newly built road to the newly dug river, when the taxi arrived at the destination, the driver said that he was still proud, and seemed to regret why the journey was so short...... Cui Qi was speechless, listening to the taxi driver talk about his daughter who was studying abroad and had a deep conversation, he hurriedly got out of the car, paid for his leg and left.

"Oops! Much more! Give 20 more! ”

"Tip!" Cui Qi waved his hand and left, and the taxi driver behind him drove the car and followed, so he had to return the extra money to him: "Look at your age, you just came back from studying abroad, right?" You know that the money given by your parents can't be used indiscriminately? When I don't know? If you have a hard time abroad, don't be a big head when you go home......" chattering endlessly, Cui Qi was stuffed back with a 20 yuan bill by the driver, and at the end, the driver's uncle also pointed to the five-star ceiling light on the roof of his car to show off.

Looking at the printed font of "Excellent Youth Taxi" on the top light, Cui Qi was surprised, if he didn't come back for two years, the taxi driver in Wangdu was greatly improved?

"You don't know abroad, Wangdu is going to compete for the 'National Top Ten Civilized Cities', and on weekdays, the crossroads are full of college student volunteers doing persuasion," Song Xiao picked a large row in Cui Qi's bowl and urged him to eat quickly.

"There are many students who persuade and there are many penalties, and during this time, the wind is tight, and taxi drivers are most afraid of complaints," Cui Qi's uncle Ge Jianfei answered, asking Cui Qi how he was abroad and what movie he was going to make next.

"It's okay, it's the same as before," Cui Xiao didn't say much, as far as some things were said on the phone, he won the award and he was going to take on a new movie, Song Xiao and Ge Jianfei listened and laughed, and then suddenly, Song Xiao asked, "Ah Qi went to see your grandma in the afternoon?" ”

It was as if he had suddenly broken a mirror and brought up the fact that he had deliberately avoided it. He hasn't returned to China for two years, and he hasn't been to his grandmother's cemetery since the funeral, and when he was abroad, he could make up a fantasy for himself that his grandmother was still living in a nursing home, knowing that it was not true, but he still couldn't accept it. Two years may have diluted a little sadness, but he is ready to return to China and is ready to accept it.

"Yes, I'll see it in the afternoon," Cui Qi raised his head and smiled, his expression as usual.

Song Xiao casually mentioned the matter of tomb sweeping, even if the dead are not as important as the living after all, she thinks more of Cui Qi in front of her. Thinking about his age, calculated with the cognition of the older generation, she always remembered: "Ah Xuan, do you have a girlfriend now?" When are you going to get married? "24 years old, the calculation of age is when I first joined the work after graduating from college, according to the life trajectory of several juniors around me, it is almost time to think about life events, Song Xiao thinks very well, although boys have a lot of room to choose, and they don't have to worry about it when they are 30 years old, but it is better to pick it later than to pick it early, not to mention that her nephew is now an international actor, and it is always difficult to find a star with a particularly strong reputation.

"Mom, don't be in a hurry, how can you rush to get married so early! Don't worry, Ah Qi won't worry about it in the future, you don't know how many girls on the Internet are calling for him to give birth to monkeys," Ge Zhou scooped a spoonful of soup and interjected jokingly.

"What a mess, you have to have a home, how can you find it casually!" Song Xiao pursed his lips and disagreed: "Find it early, talk about it for a year or two, and then discuss marriage." ”

"Mom, don't be so anxious about Ah Qi's marriage, maybe it's already been found abroad," Zhao Side raised his eyebrows at Cui Qi in response to Ge Zhou's words, jokingly.

"It's not good to find a foreigner, the living habits and customs are different......" I didn't expect Zhao Side to joke, Song Xiao really thought about it seriously, Ge Jianfei "tsk", and touched her with his elbow: "As far as you have a lot to do, Ah Qi is 24 years old, don't always treat him as a 12-year-old, what kind of life he likes in the future, he will deal with it himself, whether it is a foreigner or a black person, he can find whoever he likes." ”

"What if it's a black man...... I can't accept this aesthetically," Song Xiao shook his head and worried: "What if the child is also a black man?" ”

This made everyone at the table laugh.

"Mom, don't think about it, Ah Qi will definitely bring it back to you when he finds a girlfriend in the future," Ge Zhou picked up a chopstick green vegetable for Song Xiao, turned his head and asked Cui Qi: "Ah Qi, how are you at night?" Why don't we sleep at home for a night? ”

"The hotel is booked, I'll go to the hotel to stay," Cui shook his head.

"Will you have trouble staying in a famous hotel now?" Thinking that Cui Qi had just won the Spree Silver Bear Award, Zhao Side asked.

"It's okay, I don't usually recognize it," Cui shook his head.

"Tsk," Ge Zhou sighed twice when he saw him like this now: "I almost can't recognize it, Ah Qi said that you should pay attention to your good health, especially the stomach, don't keep taking these fat and thin films." ”

"It's okay, I haven't made many films in a year now, and American actors have working hours rules, so they won't be too tired and have a good rest," Cui said in a good way.

"Forget it, you still have to pay attention to your body, it's useless for us to read it," Ge Zhou shook his head and talked about the afternoon's arrangement: "By the way, it's rare for you to come back, let's take a family photo when Xingqi gets out of school, the little boy has been thinking about seeing his uncle for the past two years, and I'll see how excited he is for a while." "

"I'm going to pick it up?" Cui asked.

"Driving?" Thinking of Cui Qi's car accident before going abroad, Zhao Side felt a twitch in his heart.

"I haven't opened it for two years, hand-born," Cui shook his head.

"Today it's my turn to pick up the star, and when you come back from sweeping the grave and go with me," Ge Zhou said, thinking of the family photo staring at Cui Qi, he suddenly paused, and said with a tangled expression: "You can't pick this beard?" I look guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder," she couldn't help but reach out and touch Cui Qi's chin: "It's all short scum, aren't you uncomfortable?" ”

"Sister!" Cui Qi shouted helplessly: "This is my character image, and I finally grew up." ”

"Look old," Ge Zhou disliked.

"Don't look good," Cui replied.

"Do you have the face to say?" Ge Zhou touched his head: "How many foreign girls did you say?" ”

"No," Cui Qi denied it, and laughed at Song Xiao and Ge Jianfei.

Song Xiao and Ge Jianfei were at the dinner table, Cui Qi had some things that were not easy to discuss, so after leaving the dinner table, he went to the study with his sister and talked about those things that were not easy to talk about just now.

"What are you going to do in the future? Will you return to China in two years or will you choose Hollywood to develop there? Ge Zhou asked him what he was going to do, but Cui Qi shook his head.

"My mother is actually worried about you, you can't get by, you really should think about getting married and something, you can't learn from Fang Rui'an, you're still alone in your forties......" Seeing Ge Zhou mention the Fang Yingdi she liked, Cui Qi shook her head, paused and said: "Fang Ruian is married." ”

Cui Qi mentioned Fang Yingdi with his full name and surname, Ge Zhou was slightly surprised and quickly skipped it, she instantly burst into gossip, and asked curiously: "Do you know who it is with?" ”

"Xie Sirong," Cui Xi's expression stiffened for a moment, but Ge Zhou couldn't think about it, she opened her mouth and closed it again. She naturally knew that Xie Sirong posted a red book on Weibo, and everyone tacitly avoided this matter during the conversation, and didn't want to accidentally poke the sharpest knife in every possible way, Ge Zhou didn't know how to comfort him in this matter.

"It's okay, it's all over," Cui Qi said, chatting with her sister about foreign affairs, and listening to her sister about Zhao Xingqi, what is the future? Maybe it's really as Ge Zhou said, he has to get by.
