Chapter 228: Homecoming
The car stopped, parked under the orange green light that was not bright but gave people a very warm color, on both sides of the road was a cement cover, the top was full of snow and ice, and the middle of the cement cover was missing, it was a crossing, the crossing that allowed a car to drive in, and it was dark when I looked inside, there were no street lights here, and Ele's home was somewhere in the dark.
Ai Le didn't get out of the car for a long time, sitting in the car in a daze and didn't know what to think, Yi Xueqi knew that he was close to home, but he didn't speak, just accompanied him quietly, and he didn't know how long it took for him to exhale and whisper: "Let's go." ”
Yi Xueqi held something in one hand and a mobile phone in the other to illuminate Ai Le, Ai Le only took the things he bought for his father, and he and Yi Xueqi still put them in the car, but even this is a big bag, and there are a lot of them on his back.
The two of them walked in one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon came to an alley, Ai Le said softly: "Turn this way." ”
The lights are on in the alley, and it is finally not so dark, the snow that fell a few days ago has been swept clean, and Yi Xueqi is finally not afraid of slipping.
Looking at the low bungalows on both sides, Yi Xueqi said softly: "This is your home!" ”
Ai Le nodded and looked at a lamp not far away and said, "Isn't it very shabby?" ”
Yi Xueqi shook her head and said, "No, I feel that this kind of house is much better than living in a building, at least there are more neighbors." ”
Indeed, as Yi Xueqi said, although the houses on both sides of the alley are not as good as the buildings, they are popular, and the people on both sides live in old neighborhoods, decades of old neighborhoods, and in the summer they have nothing to do and move out of Maza, teacups get together to brag and fart, and in winter they are really bored and go directly to the door. Affection is always warm.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the door of Ele's house. It was an iron door painted red. But the years have been too long, and the red paint on the door has peeled off, making the iron gate that carries Elle's childhood memories dilapidated and vicissitudes.
Elle put down his things and took a deep breath and knocked on the door, a "bang" knock sounded, and soon there was a dog barking, not Ele's dog, but the neighbor's dog.
Elle knocked for a while, but there was no movement at all, and a bad feeling immediately rose in his heart. Did something happen to my father?
Just then, the opposite door opened, and a man about the same age as Ele's father stood in the doorway, reprimanding his dog for not barking, and shouting, "Who are you looking for?" ”
This voice was very familiar, and Ai Le turned around violently and said, "Sixth uncle, my father?" ”
Feng Liu exclaimed, "Xiao Ai? You're back? Your dad went to your aunt's house for the New Year, why didn't you call in advance when you came back? Haven't been back for two years, right? ”
Ai Le nodded and said, "Sixth Uncle, are you okay?" This man named Feng Liu has a special meaning for Ai Le, because the wooden guns and iron bars he made accompanied Ai Le throughout his childhood.
Feng Liu smiled: "Okay, okay, your kid has been gone for two years, you don't know how much your father misses you, and he finally came back." This is you, right? ”
Yi Xueqi immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Sixth is good." ”
Feng Liu looked at Ai Le and said, "Beautiful, really beautiful." The fairy silk on the real painting, you kid is convinced, come on, let's not grind our teeth at the door of the real New Year, you hurry up and take your object to your aunt's house, let your dad be happy, we will have a good drink tomorrow. ”
After saying goodbye to Feng Liu, Ai Le took Yi Xueqi to his aunt's house, the two families were not too far away, and it would take ten minutes to walk, and the town was not big.
Ai Le stood in front of the door and stretched out his hand and put it down, stretched out and put it down, very tangled, Yi Xueqi reached out and rubbed his face and knocked on the door for him.
"Who?" This voice is very familiar to Ai Le, because it is the voice of his aunt Ai Fuxia.
The door opened, and a woman with an apparently large figure looked at Elle, and after a long time suddenly cried out, "Oops. After saying that, he turned around and ran, running so much that one of his slippers fell off, and he generally shouted while running: "Fulu, your son is back, and Ai Le, this little king and eight lambs, is back!" ”
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the house, and the first one to rush back was Ai Fuxia, who went up and gave Ai Le a look, and the tears came down: "Where did you die in the past two years?" You, you, how old are you, and let us worry about you! ”
As soon as the words fell, a shoe flew out, Ai Le didn't dare to hide, he knew that it must be his Lao Tzu's shoe, a cotton shoe smashed on Ai Le's face, and then he heard the dissuasive voice of Ai Le's uncle Wang Jianjun: "Fulu, what are you doing?" Alas, don't take the knife, put it down, put it down. ”
Yi Xueqi was dumbfounded, this family was too lively.
After a while, Ai Fulu's angry voice came: "Don't get in yet, little bastard, I have to kill you today!" ”
In such a welcome mode, Ai Le and Yi Xueqi entered the house, and there was a man about thirty sitting inside, Ai Le didn't know him, he was Ai Le's brother-in-law Qian Bin, when they got married, Ai Le was selling boxed lunches in Zhonghai, and he was not notified at all.
Ai Le's son Ai Fulu sat there angrily, he was still wearing the coarse cloth work clothes during the New Year, this dress Ai Le couldn't remember how many New Year's Day was worn by his father, he saw that these blue clothes had turned white, Ai Le's heart was very sad.
Ai Fulu is older than his actual age, he looks like a little old man in his sixties, his face is wrinkled, his hair is almost white, there is a glass of white wine in front of him, the taste is very familiar to Ai Le, the loose liquor sold locally, he doesn't know how many nights this wine in the cup has been spent with his father, and it has also been spent with him.
Ai Fulu only found Yi Xueqi at this time, his face became very unnatural, he stood up very restrained, and even had some fear on his face, he was afraid of Yi Xueqi, because she was too beautiful and dressed too well, Ai Fulu felt that he was standing in front of her and immediately became several heads shorter, even if she was the object of his son.
Yi Xueqi saw Ai Fulu's uneasiness and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am Ai Le's girlfriend, my name is Yi Xueqi, you sit, you sit." ”
Yi Xueqi also began to get nervous, she didn't expect that Ai Le's family was different from what she imagined, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but it could be seen that Ai Le's family was at least incomparable to her, and the dishes for the New Year were not too rich. The wine turned out to be loose wine. The clothes worn by the family were not expensive. Very ordinary.
She began to regret it, regretting why she didn't ask Ile about his family, if she had known that she wouldn't wear this dress, and she wouldn't have made up makeup, she would have dressed more plainly, so that at least she wouldn't be out of place with Ile's family, and at least she wouldn't let Ile's father be restrained like this.
Ai Le stepped forward and pulled his father to sit on a chair to look at the wine, and suddenly said, "Drink this for the New Year?" Old man, it's not me talking about you. Alas, come on. Speaking of this, Ai Le put the things in his hand on the ground, took out a bottle of special Moutai from the inside, opened it and filled his father with a glass of wine, which was the first time in his life that he poured wine for his father, and then filled all the wine glasses on the table.
Yi Xueqi hurriedly took off her clothes, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the things on the ground and ran to the kitchen, she wanted to cook a few dishes, at this time she was very grateful for her grandfather's rules - women have to go down to the kitchen, if she didn't have this cooking skills, today would be even more incompatible with Ai Le's family.
Ai Fuxia saw that Yi Xueqi moved, and hurriedly said, "Girl, don't need, don't need." What do you want to eat, my aunt will make it for you. ”
Ai Le stood there and said, "You don't care about the big shares, let her go." ”
Yi Xueqi hurriedly carried her things and left. As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I heard the sound of "popping" on the table, and then Ai Fulu's voice came: "Little bastard, I'll give you face, right?" How do you talk to you? Also old man, believe it or not, I'll pump you. ”
Elle sat there, picked up the special tin box cigarettes, handed it to his father, and said, "Have you smoked it?" ”
Ai Fulu wanted to give the cigarette back, but as soon as he smelled the aroma of the tobacco, he couldn't get rid of it, he opened it and looked very greedy, and he wanted to taste one, but when he thought that he was going to do this, there was still the majesty of being Lao Tzu, so he put the cigarette on the table and said, "Why hasn't Lao Tzu smoked it?" Take away the broken things, Lao Tzu is not rare. ”
Ai Le opened the cigarette and gave it to his uncle and brother-in-law, and then lit one himself, took a puff of it, and spit out the smoke on his face, Ai Fulu not only did not make trouble, but also sniffed hard, and raised his eyes to see that the little Wang Balamb in his house was smoking, and the cigarette was immediately spit out in his mouth, and he didn't smoke it at all.
I saw Ai Fulu snatch the cigarette from his son's hand and scolded: "Little Wang Balamb, you can smoke, right?" You're a thing. With that, he twitched.
Ai Le's cousin Wang Juan smiled bitterly: "I said, uncle, Ai Le, can you two pinch each other as soon as you see them?" How big are they? Speaking of this, Wang Juan introduced to Ai Le: "Your brother-in-law Qian Bin, when we got married, I didn't know where you died, the phone just couldn't get through, what have you been doing in the past two years?" Why is there no news at all? ”
Don't look at Ai Fulu as soon as he heard that his son was coming back, he was going to copy the guy and beat him, but no one was worried about Ai Le, after all, this was his own son, he wasn't worried, who was worried? Wang Juan's question was also what he wanted to ask, and his ears immediately stood up.
Ai Le had already made up the wording, and directly made it up: "I will work in Jiangcheng Hospital, and then our teacher said that there is an opportunity to go abroad for training, and I will go to the big hospital after I go back, and I will go, and I was in a hurry and did not contact my family, and after I arrived at the place, it was still a closed training, I couldn't go out at all, and I could make a phone call inside, and you also knew that the transoceanic phone was expensive to death, I really didn't have the money, and then I asked my friend to contact the family, right, Dad?" ”
Ai Fulu rang Liang Shishi, who called him, and suddenly whispered after thinking about Yi Xueqi's voice: "Is there another one outside of your kid?" ”
Ai Le was taken aback, he didn't have a soup dream outside, how did he know?
Ai Fulu looked sideways at the place in the kitchen, and whispered: "Little bastard, our family is a serious person, you can't do that messy thing and abandon everything, that girl looks like a rich family, can follow, and come to our house, it's okay for you, don't give me the evil spirit." ”
Ai Le breathed a sigh of relief, and guessed that his father's idea must be related to Liang Shishi.
He said righteously: "That can't be, we are in a good relationship, and we just came back from her house." ”
Wang Juan hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't interrupt, let him continue." ”
Ai Le continued: "I went for more than a year and then I came back, went directly to Zhonghai People's Hospital, in the cardiac surgery, I also did a small business with my friends, made some money, the reason why I didn't tell you in advance this time is that I want to surprise you." ”
Ai Fulu slapped Ai Le on the head and scolded: "Surprise your uncle, you little bastard." ”
Ai Le rubbed his head and complained, "I said, old man, when will you be able to change the problem of beating my head?" Aren't you afraid to beat me up? ”
Ai Fulu took a sip of the wine glass, his face changed after just one sip, and he couldn't wait to take another sip, and then he exhaled a long breath and said, "This wine is good." ”
Can it be bad? This wine is thousands in one bottle.
Wang Jianjun is also an alcoholic, so he quickly lowered his head and drank, it's not that the family doesn't enter the door, Qian Bin is also delicious, and Wang Juan, including Ai Le's aunt Ai Fuxia, can drink some.
Now that they all began to drink often, Ai Le breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed this level, at this time, Yi Xueqi simply processed the things he bought and brought some cold dishes.
"Uncle and aunt, you can taste it, and there is some abalone or something, you have to wait." Ishaki was still cramped and uneasy.
Ai Fulu finally stopped being so restrained as just now, and smiled at Yi Xueqi: "Don't be busy, come and eat, what abalone, we are used to eating that thing, keep it for the two of you." ”
Yi Xueqi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I've done it all, uncle, you can wait a while." With that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Wang Juan looked at Ai Le, who was eating heavily, and gave a thumbs up and said, "Silly brother, can you, such a good daughter-in-law come from there?" ”
Elle grinned and said, "I still need crutches?" I'm so handsome, she cries and shouts to follow me. ”
The cowhide blew out, and the result was another slap in the face.
It was also in vain to be beaten, because it was him who beat him, what could he do? All I can do is complain a few times.
Soon Yi Xueqi brought up the seafood she bought, she sat down next to Ai Le and picked up the wine glass and began to toast, in the end, everyone is beautiful, not a girl from a small door can compare, her speech and demeanor are with a sense of atmosphere, unassuming, very low-key, what she says makes everyone listen to it comfortably, and everyone takes care of it.
Yi Xueqi's impression of Ai's family is racing on the Internet, and Ai Le didn't expect that Yi Xueqi still has this side, which is very different.
Everyone was drunk at a meal, including Elle and Icherqi, today Elle didn't cheat, he was happy, he was excited, and he wanted to get drunk once.
In the end, Ai Le and Yi Xueqi didn't leave, they stayed here, Wang Jianjun and Ai Fuxia went back to Ai Le's house with Ai Fulu, who drank the most, and Ai Fulu was very happy today, he had never been so happy as today after living for half his life. (To be continued.) )
