Most of the banquets in S Town are seafood-based, and at the end of summer, I like it very much but can't eat too much, so I can only drink porridge in small sips. She looked at her brothers and sisters chatting enthusiastically at the table, and she didn't talk much, and only answered a few words when she asked.

The end of the summer has been the 'next door child' since he was a child, and has been used as a reference by adults, so the same age as her basically doesn't like her very much, and the older ones have their own communication circles, and they won't take her with them;

Compared with the quietness here, the other table was much more lively, and only Xia Guoan was heard talking loudly all night. "These are all pulled back from the beach by car early this morning, this lobster is still alive, how can the eldest brother, eldest sister, and brother-in-law eat those vegetarian foods, and this crab is also very fat." The most changed in the past few years should be Xia Guoan, his belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn't have the same handsome appearance as before. I was lucky enough to contract a few projects and make some money, and I was also grandiose in my words and deeds.

He kept shaking his legs and knocking on the cigarette: "It's better to be at home, I didn't eat anything for thousands of yuan in the five-star hotel in H City last time, and I can still eat that fish." I heard that the village is going to install street lamps or something, and it is only tens of thousands, and I have come out. ”

Huang Zhen's eyes widened when she heard this: "When did this happen, why didn't I know?" Didn't you say that you don't have to pay a few thousand? This Xinxin has to spend a lot of money to go to school every year, are you so bad? ”

Xia Guoan saw that Huang Zhen didn't give him face like this, and drank some wine and said unhappily: "What's wrong with spending a few more dollars to do things for the village, women just have a lot of things." ”

Aunt Xia has never liked Huang Zhen very much, and said: "Yes, the three have made a lot of money in the past few years, spend some money to do something for the village, and see if you can get a village chief in the future." I heard that next year's construction contract has been signed? Say it's millions, right? ”

Xia Guoan smiled and said, "It's signed, isn't my brother-in-law helping to watch it?" Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back this year. ”

Grandpa Xia rarely spoke: "Don't talk about your brother-in-law's affairs on your side, just let your family know." ”

Aunt Xia also spoke: "I also asked someone to inquire, it's better to turn yourself in early, it's not a matter to hide outside all the time." He used to work in government agencies, and most of his brothers and sisters in the family also worked in government agencies, so he had some connections. Later, he went to the sea to do business and made some money, and he was very shrewd and low-key, and he didn't pull his family much, and he was the most unaccustomed to exaggerated people.

When people reach their age, they like to be quiet, and they also pay attention to health, so they put down their chopsticks and said to Grandpa Xia: "Old man, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, let's have a few games." For this eldest son-in-law's request, Grandpa Xia will never refuse.

Aunt Xia has had a hard time for her husband's affairs in the past few years, and she has only slowly improved this year, she glanced at the end of the summer and said, "The tuition and living expenses of the second brother at the end of the summer in the past few years have been made up by us, and now it shouldn't be needed." Besides, Xia Xin transferred to the county seat to go to middle school, and we probably know how much the tuition and living expenses are this year, you can't be partial to one or the other. ”

Hearing his name, the end of the summer put down the shrimp shell in his hand, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and did not speak.

Aunt Xia also said: "Yes, the most promising thing in our younger generation is your daughter, but she is the one who has the most suffering." In the past, the conditions were difficult, but now it can't be like this. ”

Xia Guoan glanced at Xia Mo, who was sitting at another table, with some embarrassment, and took a sip of wine: "I know, I'll let Huang Zhen send the money over tomorrow." ”

Huang Zhen twisted his thighs vigorously under the table, but Xia Guoan still said the promise. Originally, she was not very happy because of the street lamp, but when she heard this, she said with a smile: "At the end of the day, it's different to go to a big city, look at this dress is much more foreign, but this hair looks like the yin and yang head before, don't learn badly." Although your father has made some money in the past few years, your brother is a boy and spends a lot of money, so you are more considerate. ”

Grandma Xia was a little unhappy when she heard this: "She is going to school to study, and the teacher is watching, can she learn badly?" The hair was also made during the school performance, so it was a little shorter on one side, and it was nothing to tie up, which looked much better than the previous flat head. ”

At the end of summer, she lowered her head and wiped her mouth to hide her smile, it seemed that it was the stimulation of her hedgehog head before, which made Grandma Xia accept such a bold hairstyle very calmly. Her hair was always tied up, and it didn't look out of place from a distance. When she just washed her hair and blew her hair, she looked at her, and she said a few words at that time.

Huang Zhen was not angry and said with a smile: "Momo's clothes are very beautiful, it was given by your godmother, I heard that their garment factory has been running well in recent years, don't you go to help every year when you have time?" Their family is really good to you, the family spoils you, and those who don't know think you are biological. By the way, their son is as old as yours, don't beat this idea. ”

Aunt Xia listened to this more and more unpleasantly, although the child was almost gone, but the end of Xia was still young after all, and said loudly: "If you don't want to come out, don't come out, and don't look for her when you graduate at the end of summer in a few years." Anyway, this account is not in your book. Some time ago, I met Lin Feng and his wife, and asked about the end, probably because they wanted to get close. ”

Xia Guoan put down the cup: "Sister, I'll go out, and I'll send my mother the tuition and living expenses tomorrow." After speaking, he glared at Huang Zhen, who was unhappy, with a straight face.

She sat like this at the end of the summer, as if she heard talking about other people's things and had nothing to do with her. She had never wanted anything from him, and she might have been touched if she had had some greetings and care for her as a child, but she didn't need it anymore.

"Let's go watch TV first, we'll just clean it up here, grandma's quilt has been dried for you." Summerend smiled and nodded, got up and walked towards the front door.

Xia Guoan's helpless voice sounded: "Mom, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that this daughter and I are not close to each other, and I want to hurt but I can't hurt anything." Since childhood, I have been withdrawn, and now I am even more reluctant to communicate with us. In the future, I can only give her more money to spend, and I don't know how to do it. If it were Weiwei, it wouldn't be like this. ”

At the end of summer, my heart contracted strongly, and it hurt like a pinprick in a pin, and although I had known this fact for a long time, I still heard the impact with my own ears, and my heart hurt. Exhaled deeply, looking at the lanterns rising in the distance, flickering and dimming, so close and so far away.

There's no need to listen to anything else, so be it. She quickened the pace of leaving, and kept muttering: All beings have no self, and happiness and bitterness follow fate; Gains and losses, there is no increase or decrease in the heart. There is suffering, and there is happiness without asking; Gathering and scattering are impermanent, and gains and losses follow fate.

The lively and festive variety entertainment show did not bring a trace of joy to the end of summer, she lay in the soft quilt, breathing in the smell of sunshine. If there is anything else worth her nostalgia in this home, it should be the smell of the quilt, so warm.

She reached under her pillow and pulled out her phone, attached the electric board, and turned it on. Immediately the text messages swarmed in, and every time she turned on the phone, she was used to it. Because she's a person who likes to turn off her phone. Click one by one, view, delete the blessed text messages, leave useful messages, and then reply. After seeing the familiar string of numbers, she paused slightly, clicked on it, and then deleted.

The mobile phone number of Four One has been appearing for four months, and there are two text messages that can't be touched every day, regardless of whether they are replied to at the end of the summer. In a familiar tone, he talked about the weather in his city and the mood of the day, and sometimes even the petty feelings at work: today I met a self-righteous idiot, listening to his report, I was about to take off his leather shoes and gag his mouth; Or a little bad joke: one day there was a stag that ran faster and faster, and at the end of the run, he became a ~high-speed stag~...

After being obsessed with the weather forecast for a while, and finally determining that they were in different cities, reading text messages every day became her bedtime habit, and it felt interesting to watch another person's daily life. But the sudden gift made her very troubled, and it was funny with his text message: I haven't figured out why Chinese people celebrate Christmas, maybe it's an excuse to receive and send gifts. Although I never have. But now the student community is in vogue, and I hope you will enjoy it.

On the way to class on Christmas Day, under the envious eyes of others, at the end of the summer, she received a large bouquet of red roses handed to her by the doorman, and a blue paper bag with a black suede box tied with a blue ribbon, which contained three round kaleidoscope keys of the same length in 18K gold with yellow and white diamonds.

At the end of summer, I knew this brand, and these legendary keys have become the "talisman" of romantic emotions since they have been propagated to the present. The shape of the medal represents the confidence and commitment to reach the other side of success; The heart shape represents the mystery and loyalty of love. The flower shape is an innocent and romantic little girl. And the key means: open the heart and embrace the meaning of a qiē.

Walking around the campus with such a large bouquet of roses in hand is definitely a very high return rate, and at the end of summer, I directly unpacked the package and distributed it all the way. And the gift is too expensive after all, I really don't know what to do with it. She texted the other party back for the first time: The gift is too valuable, please take it back, address?

The other party did not answer, and disappeared without a trace. I thought this was the end of it, but I didn't expect it to be. Gifts were delivered every three or five days, and they were all valuable fashion boutiques that ordinary people could consume. Gradually, messages spread around, saying everything, and even Winnie Xu was asking sideways. The three of them become tigers, and their words are terrifying.

The monotonous bell rang, and Summerend looked at the familiar number on the screen in some surprise, and she had pressed the answer button before Summer's reaction could be realized. "Hello, I'm the end of summer."

Li Zhuoxin's surprised voice came: "It's rare, I didn't turn off the phone so late today, wait for me to say good night to you?" Or wait for my New Year's wishes? ”

Xia Mo frowned, she seemed to have only met such a narcissistic person for the first time, but her voice seemed to be a little familiar, but she didn't think of it for a while: "No, you just need to tell me the address." ”

The other party chuckled, he also recently got the gift list and bill, although it was a little expensive, but I have to say that Han Lele is very fancy. "There's never a sense to recycle what I send out, so if you don't like it, you can just throw it away. It's just that I have to tell you that extravagance and waste are not a good virtue in our country. ”

Late summer helplessly: "Isn't it a waste of people who spend money on these things?" ”

The other party said as a matter of course, "I don't think so, this is a way for me to pursue you." Don't you feel it? ”

The end of the summer sneered: "Who sued you for pursuing a girl in this way?" It seems that your thinking is still at the level of elementary school students buying people's hearts with objects. ”

Li Zhuoxin was not angry and said with a smile: "In my opinion, these gifts still have some effect. At the very least, I'm talking to you. What are you doing now? ”

At the end of the summer, he said: "Lie on the bed and watch TV." I don't know if it's too bad, the end of summer suddenly wants to chat with this familiar stranger, his voice and intonation are comfortable to listen to, although there is a strong voice.

Li Zhuoxin lowered his voice: "Is this warming the quilt for me?" Good habits to maintain. ”

Xia Mo rolled his eyes: "The kang in your hometown is too high, and the little girl can't climb up or climb high, so you better find someone else." ”

Li Zhuoxin joked in a good mood: "It's been a long time since you measured your height, and your height is just right for me." Sure enough, it was a southern girl who had never slept on the kang, and she couldn't wait to slip up on the kang. But now you really need a warm quilt at home, how about it, consider it? ”

At the end of the summer, when I heard this tone, I guessed that the other party was probably drunk, and it was a waste of saliva to talk to a drunk: "There is no need to say more, I know that you are from City B, if you have time to meet in the next year, I will return those things to you." I don't accept gifts from strangers, and I know the consequences of talking to strangers. ”

Li Zhuoxin rubbed his swollen temples: "Don't worry, we'll meet." Don't be surprised, my kitten. Don't you think it's nice to keep it mysterious? ”

Late Summer: "You're mysterious, but I'm transparent, and it makes me feel like I'm being watched, and it's unpleasant." ”

Li Zhuoxin: "Surveillance? You're saying too harsh, at best it's just creating a few little surprises in your life, I hope you'll enjoy it. He replied with a series of beeps, and he looked at the phone screen in surprise and laughed angrily. Hang up and replay, the female voice that is already cold and mechanical: "The phone you dialed has been turned off, please broadcast it again later." ”

Shaking his head, he put his phone in his pocket: "Although Xiao Nizi is young, her temper is very big, and sure enough, the girl with small breasts has a big temper." He wiped his face a little and walked towards the sleek lobby.

In fact, the thing he wants to do most now is to go home and sleep, and he has been back in City B for less than a week, and he is basically out socializing. This is their life, the year after the year is the busiest, he has lost count of how many years the family has not sat around for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Thinking that he would accompany the old man to an important party tomorrow, he pinched his neck, took out his mobile phone and sent a message, and turned to leave. It's okay to be capricious once in a while, and he still has such rights.

Those with vested interests, while enjoying certain conveniences, also lose a lot, such as health, family affection, and their own primary colors. It's like a besieged city, it's just your own choice. And Li Zhuoxin's choice is to integrate, enjoy and create zào.

PS: Code words every day, send them every day, and the mental activity is so big. I like everyone likes to collect it. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
