The fourteenth round

A week has passed, it seems that my mother has not had time to tell my father about her, every day they play mahjong in addition to work, and sometimes when they play at home, Mei Ying will also take advantage of her mother's cooking to have a few addictions. Mei Ying is not very good at playing mahjong, and when she was in school, she learned a little bit by watching how many strong sons played. Life is like this mahjong game, all the same, a dragon, too few flowers on the bar, or Pinghu is the majority, and when the luck is bad, the gun is fired. Mei Ying's cards were unlucky, and she lost a lot of money to her mother today.

"Ying'er, people say that the boy has good luck, you see that your virgin hand is not good at all, I don't want you to fight for me in the future, or your sister has good luck and rarely loses money." Mom complained while stir-frying.

Mei Ying didn't dare to say anything, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, did you tell your dad about that?" In the future, I will work and honor you, and then find someone to come back and honor you together, okay? ”

"As long as your mouth is sweet, your mother doesn't dare to point to you to be filial, you will live happily in the future without me and your father worrying about it. I told your dad, he didn't say yes, he didn't say no, who knows what this old guy was thinking, or you can tell him yourself in a little night, your dad is in a good temper now, and he won't beat you. ”

"Forget it, wait until two days before my birthday to talk to him." has been beaten by her father for more than ten years, how can she not be afraid, and the fear of her father in her heart has not completely dissipated. But Dad never forgot to celebrate her birthday, since she was seven years old, Dad has given her birthday every year, and asked her to invite her classmates to come to the house to play, so she feels that there is no problem with making excuses for her birthday.

This summer was surprisingly hot, and she felt it when she cleaned mahjong at noon, and it was full of sweat stains, and it took three washes to completely clean it. Mei Ying felt that she was an idler everywhere, early in the morning, her parents and sister went to work, she was home alone at noon, her mother would leave some money on the dinner table every day for her to go out to eat, and her sister also bought her several clothes, her father was more direct, put a cigarette at her bedside, she felt that she had never been happy, and even the idea of going to see Leng Xu disappeared. She didn't know how to repay such affection, so she had to wash and wash her parents' favorite mahjong. Many times, she feels that she is very fickle and uncertain, often deciding things because of whether others are good or bad for her, and her mind is always wavering.

It was another evening, two days before her birthday, and her mother looked at her very strangely, probably wondering why she didn't say anything all the time, she smiled at her mother, "Eat quickly, Aunt Zhao, they're coming soon." I'll wash the dishes in a while, and you can play cards with confidence. Mei Ying is grateful to her family for their love for her, no matter how handsome a man is, he can't get these kind faces. There can be many men, but parents and sisters are out of print. She decided not to go anywhere this holiday, and she could make up the number when she was missing one of the three to let her family pass the time.

A very slight knock on the door disturbed her thoughts, and when her sister went to open the door, Mei Ying raised her head and looked, and was dumbfounded, Leng Xu was actually standing at the door of her house. A pure white short-sleeved shirt with a pair of light gray trousers, the hair was cut short, the bangs on the forehead were only broken and naturally hung down, and the soft lip lines were wiped with a trace of clear innocence. Mei Ying's face was a little feverish, she really liked Leng Xu's handsomeness, but it was the first time in her life that such a handsome boy came to her house. She remembered that she had only told him the address of her house once, and he actually found it.

Without allowing his sister to ask, Leng Xu walked in with his usual schoolbag on his back. Mei Ying's brain was a little unable to turn, it was really chaotic at that moment, look at Leng Xu and look at her parents.

"Hello uncle and aunt! I am an alumnus of Shadow and her boyfriend, my name is Leng Xu, and I came from Chongqing to celebrate her birthday. Without waiting for his parents to ask, Leng Xu introduced himself first.

"Sister, are all the boys in your school so handsome? I knew I was going to college too. My sister pouted in frustration.

"Lin'er, what are you talking about, go get a stool and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." Mom seemed to understand, but fortunately, Mei Ying said hello first, and she could see that her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Dad didn't say anything, raised his head and looked Leng Xu up and down, his brows kept stretching, the corners of his mouth kept smiling, he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you know how to drink, young man?" Leng Xu, who had just sat down, stood up in shock again. Once upon a time, my father told the two sisters that if you are looking for a man, you must find someone who can smoke and drink, and if you can't do both, then you must be a girl. In fact, the parents are very open-minded, but they disciplined Mei Ying a little more before she was eighteen years old. Now that both of their sisters are adults, their tight strings are naturally loosened.

"You can drink some, but I drink very little liquor, and I basically drink beer with Shadow, and she said that she was afraid that I would hit people if I was drunk." Mei Ying couldn't help but kick Leng Xu, looking at him reproachfully, Leng Xu didn't dare to say anything anymore like a child who had done something wrong.

"Lin'er, go to the store downstairs to buy a dozen beers and come up, I'll accompany Xiao Leng to drink some. Topaz, you go and fry two more dishes, and we can drink wine. Mei Ying suddenly felt that her father had the demeanor of a general, this momentum was simply a guide, and her sister and mother were very obedient to the command and did their own thing.

Leng Xu was a little at a loss, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he sat and waited obediently. In the meantime, she didn't know what the two men said, she was afraid that her father would settle accounts after the autumn, and her thoughts were a little aimless. But her parents gave her face very much, and even Aunt Zhao's card game was pushed away, her father was very strong and kept drinking liquor, and she and Leng Xu were accompanied by beer. In fact, she was still scared in her heart, she was worried that Leng Xu would talk nonsense or speak disrespectfully if she drank too much, she had to stay sober and not be confused.

The night was very late, and the wine was almost drunk, no one was drunk, since she was a child, Mei Ying had never seen her father drunk, and even she herself didn't know what it was like to be drunk. At the insistence of her mother, they all went to sleep, Mei Ying and her sister slept in the same room, and Leng Xu slept peacefully in her bedroom. With their parents here, there is a lot less freedom, and the two of them secretly hold hands to complete the meeting ceremony.

When she woke up in the morning, there was an extra fifty yuan on the bedside, she knew that it was left by her mother, and she must have asked her to take Leng Xu around, after all, he was also a guest.

"You're all up? I didn't bring a toothbrush, I'll go downstairs and get it for you. Mei Ying came out of her sister's small bedroom and saw Leng Xu already standing on the balcony.

"Who is as careless as you, take it all." Leng Xu smiled at her.

"Isn't it, man, do you still plan to live in our family and be a son-in-law?" I can't guess his thoughts, a domineering and gangster boy would actually take an overnight train to find her, although the family was very satisfied and accepted him, but after all, the two of them have not yet reached the point of talking about marriage.

"Shadow, your dad is really good, after drinking so much liquor, his face doesn't change, you must have been genetically inherited if you can drink so well."

"Of course, my dad's name is Mei Haotian, and his name is loud, what is this wine, if you want to drink with my dad, you have to practice hard."

"Your parents are happy with me, I said I wouldn't let you down. I saw that you didn't come to me for so long, not even a letter, I had to find it myself. Leng Xu looked at her with some complaint.

"I didn't come back during the winter vacation, and I'm embarrassed to leave when I come back this time, they have to go to work during the day, so I'll do it at home. You, too, came here without saying hello, and don't want to think about the consequences in case my family doesn't agree. ”

"You're having a birthday, can I not come? Didn't you say that you like to celebrate your birthday the most, how can I miss the happiest day of the year for you. I didn't think about it that much anyway, I'm happy to see you, and you know I'm not a thoughtful person. ”

Yes, there are a lot of misses in life, she feels that she has missed Lin Yumo, although people don't like her, but she is still obsessed with his magnetic voice wishful thinking. But every year she doesn't miss her birthday. Alas, how can I miss him again, the boy standing alive in front of her is what she should cherish.

"Shadow, let's go out to eat in the evening, and I'll listen to your wishes tomorrow morning, just as you did with me in the first place. I'm going to stay at the guest house tonight, and although your family is fine, it's a lot less comfortable. What do you think? ”

"Well, that's fine. Lest you worry about saying the wrong thing, I'll leave a note for my parents in a while, and I'll take you out for a walk first, so you can't come in vain. ”

Leng Xu walked over and gently hugged her into his arms, wanting to kiss her, but he gave up again, causing Mei Ying to put down the toes that had been cushioned again. He always treats her very carefully, Mei Ying often feels that he has enthusiasm but lacks passion, he has a little less romantic factor in his bones, he should belong to the boy who follows the rules, and there is still a little disappointment in his heart.

A day is very good for two young people, they visited three parks in a row, and ate more than a dozen kinds of snacks, Leng Xu didn't want Mei Ying to spend money, he said that he hated the way girls paid. Also, men, their own handsomeness is very important, but the chic behavior is also indispensable, Mei Ying feels that Leng Xu looks too handsome every time he buys something for her.

Their exuberant energy is still abundant as the night falls, and Mei Ying loves her hometown, and only here will she find herself. In fact, her personality is very cheerful, very playful, very unrestrained, and very greedy for neon lights at night. Campus life constrained her, and platonic love was like a spell that prevented the perfect union of spirit and body.

Mei Ying doesn't like the so-called platonic love, she disdains a homosexual remark, but in private under the guise of spiritual love, it is full of filth. She felt that Qi Yuanhui blindly coveted her body and lacked love, but there was no trace of desire in Leng Xu's fanatical love, he respected her very much, and even asked for her consent for every kiss. Mei Ying was a little confused, she didn't know which way she preferred.

Leng Xu insisted on choosing the guest house closest to her home, put down her things and dragged her to a restaurant on the street to celebrate her birthday, and he also bought a pair of shoes for her, but the condition was to wear it every day. Sometimes she feels that Leng Xu is completely a child who has not grown up, loves to be angry, and loves to make all kinds of demands on her, if he does not agree, he can grind for several days, although Leng Xu is more than a year older than her, but she feels more like a sister. Actually, she doesn't like it very much, she is stubborn by nature, but Leng Xu is more stubborn than her. She wanted an older man to take care of her, and she loved being pampered.

Dinner was very good and full, but Leng Xu still had to go to the night market stall to drink, this city that never sleeps seemed to give him a lot of courage, and said that he would take the responsibility of Mei Ying's failure to go home, he really couldn't do anything about him, for the sake of him coming all the way to celebrate her birthday, he had to let him go.

I can't remember how much wine he drank, it should be more than Leng Xu's birthday, but he is still in good shape, he didn't dare to show his strength when he drank with his father last night, tonight, let him have fun. Hearing a bell, they came to Rennan Square unconsciously, the huge pendulum rang for the early morning, the square was scattered with stalls selling supper, people who didn't want to sleep because of the heat were shirtless guessing the boxing order, selling drinks, selling popsicles were still doing brisk business. The night of the city has lost the tranquility of the mountains, but it has added some liveliness and joy. A full moon covered the earth with a soft white veil, and Mei Ying and Leng Xu held hands under this white veil and came to the center of the square briskly.

Standing in the middle of the square, smiling and waving to them, Leng Xu couldn't help but salute the statue, then raised his right hand, clenched his fists, and said solemnly to Mei Ying as if he was swearing to the party flag: "I promise ** that I will love Mei Ying for the rest of my life!" ”
