The weather suddenly changed when Brother Mengyao arrived home, and the drizzling rain began to fall unhurriedly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Liu Hanxing gave the umbrella on her body to Brother Meng Yao, she took it with a smile and got off the car not far from the community. After seeing Liu Hanxing's car leave, she walked slowly to the community.
Yang San was watching a small film in the security room, and he saw Brother Mengyao from the window, and hurriedly turned off the computer in front of him. Seeing her walk to the door of the community, she poked out her entire obscene head like a dog. Brother Mengyao never had a good feeling for Yang San, and at this moment he poked his whole head out again, making her can't help but roll her eyes and then completely ignore Yang San and silently enter the apartment.
"Brother Mengyao, your family is not here, they went to the hotel, let me see you come back and tell you, it is in the hotel next to our community, it is said that your aunt got married today, so if you come back, you will rush over." When Brother Mengyao heard that his aunt was going to get married, he paused and tilted his head to look at Yang San: "My aunt is getting married?" β
"Yes, people kept coming to inform your family two days ago, I remember that there were many relatives who went up to your house at that time, and you may not know if you haven't been there for the past two days." Brother Mengyao sighed, that morning she thought that her parents were going to send her farewell before she let her see her relatives for the last time, but she didn't expect it to be because of her aunt's marriage.
"Thank you." Dropped two words and turned around and walked out of the community.
The hotel is not very far from Brother Mengyao's community, it is only five minutes away, and it only takes seven or eight minutes for her to walk unhurriedly, and when she arrived at the door of the hotel, the big banner caught her attention. The name written on the banner is her aunt's, and the person written on the other side is unknown.
It's still early, it's only ninety o'clock in the morning, and according to the usual custom, the bride and groom can enter the wedding scene at two o'clock in the afternoon, and some time ago it has been the time for guests and officiants. Standing at the door of the hotel were Brother Mengyao's aunt and second aunt, as well as her uncle and second uncle. Her aunt and second aunt are her grandfather's siblings, and her uncle and second uncle are the two older brothers of her mother, Cui Jiali. Brother Mengyao held an umbrella and looked up at the banner, the uncle pushed his glasses and immediately noticed Brother Mengyao, while the eldest aunt and the second aunt were chatting and entertaining the in-laws who kept going in just now.
"Meng Meng?" She looked at the banner in a funce, and her uncle shouted from it. Brother Mengyao immediately came back to his senses and walked over slowly, the wind blew from his side, Brother Mengyao was like a butterfly in the wind and rain that would fly away at any time, so unwavering.
The aunts also noticed Brother Mengyao, and exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly greeted her: "Meng Meng, why are you standing in the rain, come in!" The second aunt really loved Brother Mengyao, and when she saw her standing in the rain with an umbrella, she immediately ran down the stairs and pulled her to the door. This hotel is very large, and the place at the entrance is naturally not small, and a few people standing only occupy a little space.
When she entered the door, she put down the umbrella slowly, and smiled lightly: "Uncle, second uncle, aunt, second aunt, hard work." β
"You kid, where have you been these two days? You don't know what your mom, your dad and your grandma have been doing in the past two days, if it weren't for your aunt getting married today, I think they would all send a search notice to find you, why are you so uneasy about this dead child. As soon as the aunt came up and nodded Brother Mengyao's head, she was angry.
Brother Meng Yao smiled: "I'm sorry for worrying you." As he spoke, he reached out and hugged the arms of the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and the four of them all felt the strength of Brother Mengyao's hug.
"Meng Meng, is something happening?" The second uncle took a step forward and took the umbrella in her hand. She shook her head, and pulled out her hand to grab the arms of the eldest and second uncles: "It's nothing, it's just two days and two nights without sleeping, eating, or bathing." β
"Huh?" She said this without nonsense.
When the second aunt heard this, she immediately began to feel distressed again: "You girl, what have you been doing in the past two days, you don't know that you vomited blood that morning, which scared us." Hurry up, go upstairs to take a shower, change your clothes, get some sleep right away, and call you again at noon. Saying that, the aunt also continued: "I'll call your cousin and ask her to help you buy clothes, you hurry up and take a bath, by the way, say hello to your parents and grandmother and then go." β
Brother Meng Yao smiled and looked at the sky outside, with a soft smile in the corner of his eyes: "It turns out that he is alive... So good. β
"What nonsense, let's go quickly." The eldest uncle patted her on the head, and the second uncle pulled her over and walked upstairs: "I'll take Meng Meng up." β
"Hmm."
She didn't say anything, followed the second uncle and walked upstairs, along the way the second uncle was telling her to sleep well, her body was important, and she smiled at the corners of her mouth over and over again.
The place where the wedding was held was on the second floor, and the in-laws and distant relatives of both parties came, fortunately, the hotel was big, otherwise it really couldn't stand, a full fifteen tables, and two tables in the other corridor, seventeen tables, about one or two hundred people, and there were enough in-laws and distant relatives.
As soon as she entered the door on the second floor, she ran into her aunt and uncles, and the second uncle wanted to take her to hide away, but she still walked in indifferently, keeping a certain distance from everyone: "Auntie, second aunt, third aunt, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, old lady." Big cousin, little cousin, cousin, second cousin. One by one, they were shouted out with unmistakable accuracy. The second uncle was stunned on the side, there were too many people who came, he couldn't recognize them all, he didn't expect Brother Mengyao to go all the way and shout all the way, these relatives saw that Brother Mengyao also came up to talk, she answered one by one, and finally ended the topic with going to find someone.
The second uncle looked at her with the eyes of a monster on the side, it was too powerful.
Over there, Cui Jiali and Meng Guoyun were greeting their in-laws, and when they heard Brother Meng Yao and the noisy crowd, they instinctively turned their heads, and when they saw Brother Meng Yao's whole person walking this way with a radiant face, both of them were in tears.
Brother Meng Yao saw Cui Jiali and Meng Guoyun stop, and his eyes unconsciously misted. Cui Jiali and Meng Guoyun hurriedly wiped away the tears in their eyes. Brother Meng Yao smiled to cover up the fog, and his steps were much faster than just now. Cui Jiali saw her coming over, stretched out her hands and hugged her into her arms: "Thank you for coming back alive." β
"Mom."
As she spoke, Brother Meng Yao blinked his eyes and looked at Meng Guoyun from behind her arms with a smile, Meng Guoyun is a man, but he is still a father, and he took the initiative to open his arms. Brother Mengyao rarely showed a big smile and threw himself into his arms: "Dad." β
"Thank you for coming back alive." He said the same thing, which amused Brother Meng Yao.
"This isβ" As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side interrupted the sweet behavior of the three of them.
Brother Meng Yao came out of Meng Guoyun's arms, looked at the completely unfamiliar face in front of him, and his smile returned to his previous lightness: "Hello." I'm Meng Tiantian's niece. She didn't say that she was the daughter of Meng Guoyun and Cui Jiali, but said that Meng Tiantian, after all, their daughter-in-law was Aunt Meng Yao.
Meng Guoyun and Cui Jiali took Brother Mengyao's hand as if they were telepathic, and said at the same time: "This is my daughter, Brother Mengyao." As soon as he finished speaking, not only Brother Mengyao laughed, but everyone else laughed together.
The second uncle immediately scratched his head when he saw this: "Little sister, when did you and your brother-in-law have an electrocardiogram?" Cui Jiali and Meng Guoyun inadvertently showed their affection. They all bowed their heads in embarrassment.
On the other side, the husband and family of Brother Mengyao's aunt waved their hands: "It's good, if Tiantian and our Dongliang have this electrocardiogram and such a daughter in the future, my mother will also die of happiness." β
Brother Mengyao grinned at the corner of his mouth: "Heaven will not treat anyone badly. β
The woman nodded, and her bangs hung down, she looked like she was only forty or fifty years old, she should be the same age as her aunt, and she was also very trendy, and she should be the mother of her future brother-in-law, Zhang Dongliang.
"That's right. How old are you, girl. β
"Sixteen." She replied truthfully, and Mrs. Zhang nodded: "I know a lot at a young age." β
Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but her aunt's cousin's voice sounded behind her: "Meng Meng." When I heard it from afar, Brother Mengyao turned his head to look over, and when he saw her carrying this bag in her hand, he knew what he was going to do.
"Cousin."
"Here, clothes, hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes and sleep well, I'll call you when the time comes." She handed the bag to Brother Meng Yao, and when she saw the stranger in front of her, she didn't know how to talk for a while, and smiled embarrassedly: "Hello." Mrs. Zhang smiled: "You are the daughter of Sister Tiantian, she often mentions you, and she is a good-looking girl." β
"Thanks for the compliment." She smiled.
Cui Jiali also laughed, and looked at Brother Mengyao in distress and brushed her hair for her: "Didn't you eat for two days?" How can you do this, no wonder your brother has been making a lot of trouble in the past two days, it turns out that he is thinking about you. β
She patted Cui Jiali's stomach: "It's nothing, I don't feel hungry, I don't feel sleepy, I don't feel tired, I feel like what is gradually disappearing." She said, "You guys, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He bowed politely, thanked his cousin, nodded to his second uncle, and went up to the third floor.
The receptionist at the front desk was careful when handing her the room card, because she had never seen such a girl, walking with wind and cold with death.
The room is relatively close, the sound insulation effect is OK, she took a beautiful bath, and then sat on the bed in a daze in a bathrobe, how to go in the future, how to do, how to go, how to stay?
I closed my eyes helplessly and rested, this sleep was not very peaceful, and when I woke up again, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, the sky outside was still like that, gloomy and dripping, open the window to hear the sound of firecrackers or blessings, she smiled and took out the clothes that her cousin bought from the bag on the side.
It's a dress, a blue dress, butterfly blue, one-shouldered, a gauze skirt outside, a red rose chain on the chest, the skirt to the knees, the outer cover is very beautiful, but it's a pity that it's not what she should wear at her age. There are also a pair of shoes in the bag, with black thin heels, not very high, about seven or eight centimeters, which is also enough to choke. Sighing helplessly, her cousin's eyes stayed on adults, not expecting that she was still a child.
Reluctantly, I went into the bathroom, brought contact lenses, and in order to match this dress, I specially scattered my hair and pulled it up on both sides, making the whole person look a lot more energetic.
She went out of the room, just ran into her cousin, seeing that the direction she was walking should be coming from her side, she saw Brother Mengyao go out and was stunned for a moment, and then circled around her in amazement, and kept praising in her mouth: "Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful." β
smiled awkwardly: "What's wrong down there, why did you come up and call me at this time?" β
"No, it's just that you can eat wine and food, let me come up and call you down, saying that you are hungry. However, I really want to ask, have you really not eaten in two days? You don't know how it could be when my mother said that you hadn't eaten, slept, or bathed for two days. β
"Let's go down." The answer to the question watched her leave the third floor. My cousin sighed and went down after him.
Everyone was already seated, and Brother Mengyao was dressed so brightly, it attracted attention at once.
"Isn't that my cousin? Dressed so brightly. Not far away in front of the glass window, Brother Mengyao's cousin was drinking the Coke in front of him and smiling, and there were two boys about seventeen or eighteen years old sitting next to him, and the unfamiliar faces were probably from her sister-in-law's family. This table is all about twelve or thirteen to seventeen or eighteen years old, not much, plus Brother Mengyao and his cousin are just ten. Children of other ages sit with their families to prevent accidents.
Brother Meng Yao looked at this table, so many children of the same age, sighed in his nostrils, and walked over helplessly.
"Cousin, sit here." The cousin raised his hand, Brother Mengyao looked over, walked over silently, and put the phone on the table.
"Hello." The three words of lightness came out of her mouth, and the people at the table were a lot of her.
"Liu Cheng, is she really your cousin?" The boy next to Brother Mengyao's cousin pushed him.
Liu Cheng nodded: "Cousin who is like a fake." The cousin nodded on the side: "Yes, isn't it beautiful?" Warn you boys not to use any crooked brains. Liu Min pointed to the boys on the table as a warning. Brother Mengyao didn't speak from beginning to end, but the girl opposite spoke: "How old are you?" Do I see you're eighteen dressed like this? β
"Don't look at my cousin dressed like this, she's only sixteen, and she just graduated from junior high school." Liu Min poured a glass of Coke in front of him and handed it to Brother Mengyao, but Brother Mengyao shook his head: "I don't drink it." β
"Sixteen? Really sixteen? So where are you going to go to high school? Shall I look with us? β
Brother Mengyao raised his head to look at a few people: "Attached to the small." β
"Attached?" As soon as she spoke, the nine people on the entire table were stunned: "Isn't the attached elementary school the worst school, how can you go to high school, there are all gangsters inside." β
"What's wrong with the attached small, I'm also attached to the small!" As soon as the girl spoke, she was interrupted by the boy next to Liu Cheng. Brother Mengyao looked at it, it was a boy, with a slightly tempered, but a little handsome face, and his hair was good.
She replied with a smile: "I only did multiple-choice questions and true/false questions in the final exam, and I was lucky to be able to go to the attached elementary school." β
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was stunned: "Meng Meng, how did you do it?" The final exam is so important that I only did multiple-choice and true/false questions! β
At this point she couldn't help but laugh to herself: "How do I know." She smiled, the waiter over there came over with a cart, looking at the table full of young people, and planned to put drinks, but Brother Mengyao ordered a bottle of champagne, and the waiter saw her order champagne and specially sent it over and opened the lid.
The table was talking to each other, and no one paid attention to her, so she stood up by herself with champagne in a goblet and looked out the window. Several people looked at her so melancholy and lowered their heads to discuss: "Does she have depression, it seems that she is not easy to get along with." β
"No, I think it's good, maybe it's a little autistic."
Liu Min couldn't understand her and shook her head: "She's not autistic, she was happy when I saw her before, probably because girls have something on their minds now." Liu Cheng tilted her head sideways to see that she didn't understand: "Meng Meng, what's so beautiful outside, why have you been looking outside." β
She took the last sip of champagne, which was not too strong to feel anything. Placing the goblet on the table, "It's nothing, I just think that something is probably not a bad thing to live." β
These people are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and they don't understand the deepest meaning of living and dying at all, and naturally they don't know what Brother Mengyao means.
"It's okay to be alive."
She smiled and poured another glass of champagne, put it to her lips but paused, I don't know why, I really want to pay tribute to those who died because of her. Quietly opened half of the window, and spilled the champagne in her hand, which quickly disappeared with the rain, and she did not speak, holding the bottom of the glass in her hand, her eyes closed, and the goblet slipped from her hand.
"What is the meaning of being alive?" A tear of blood slipped from the corner of her eye and disappeared into the smoke and rain.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier because of her sadness, and the sound of the rattling washed away the stuffiness and irritability of the past, and cleansed the souls of people.
