At about five o'clock in the evening of January 9, 2044, Ren Hongyu, Liu Yuexiao, Tian Xiaorui and I got on the bus to the city's 72 Square. There weren't many people in the car, so the four of them found four adjacent seats at the back of the car and sat down, looking at the light snow falling outside the window. When you think about the first semester of college that has just passed, it seems as if the beginning of the semester was yesterday. It was as if we had just arrived in Riverside City and were leaving.

What is a city, a city is like a station in life, we always go from here to there, occupy a long or short period of time, and then leave. suddenly remembered Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Kangqiao", and recited it casually: "Gently I go, just as I come gently; I beckoned softly, and made a cloud of the western sky. Liu Yuexiao jokingly said: "Our great talent looks a little emotional today." I said, "Yes, I sigh that time flies so fast, and a semester passes in such a hurry." Ren Hongyu said: "Yes, four years of college feels like it's still a long time. It felt like school had just started, and half of the semester had passed in an instant. Tian Xiaorui said: "Continue, the students in your dormitory are gone." I said, "They are all from Central Plains Province, except for Brother Shen Zhe, who didn't leave today, the other students left after the exam in the morning." Tian Xiaorui said: "Why hasn't Shen Zhe left yet?" I said, "Brother Shen Zhe and his daughter-in-law will pick her up tomorrow, and by the way, buy some things, Shen Zhe is waiting for him to come." Tian Xiaorui said: "So that's the case." ”

I said, "Are all your classmates in the girls' dormitory gone?" Ren Hongyu said: "Basically, there are Chen Nuo and Cheng Qing from Bashu, but they didn't leave today." I asked, "Why haven't they left yet?" "Chen Nuo and Cheng Qing said that they would not go home this holiday and would go to Hangzhou to work together." Ren Hongyu added. I said, "Who introduced them, and did they go and have company?" Ren Hongyu said: "A friend of my father opened a high-end restaurant in Hangzhou, and I introduced them to the past. I said, "Looking at the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Nanjing area on TV, the economic development is good, and everyone is eating Chinese New Year's Eve outside." Festive. At this time, it is the time for migrant workers to go home for the Chinese New Year, and there is a large short-term employment gap, and they must have a good income when they go there to work. Ren Hongyu said: "Let you go to work, will you go?" I said, "If I want to go home for the summer vacation, my parents won't agree to it." ”

Tian Xiaorui said: "If I usually work, my parents will not object, but if I work during the Spring Festival, my parents will definitely not agree." Liu Yuexiao said: "Although the conditions of my family are not very good. If I go out to work during the Spring Festival and don't come home, my parents won't agree. Ren Hongyu said: "We northerners have a common shortcoming, that is, we love our family too much, and we are far from people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in this regard." I said, "As children, you can't share anything with your parents, but you should be able to do it for the time being." What is filial piety, parents have no special faults, they follow the will of their parents, this is filial piety. To be filial. Follow your parents' wishes first. Ren Hongyu said: "Don't look at the young age of the continuation brother, what he said is quite reasonable." ”

Because I have company, I don't feel that time is slowing down in the car, and I don't talk to him. Look at the night view of Riverside City outside the window, the bus stops and goes, and the people who get on and off the bus, and the people get on and off. It took more than an hour to arrive at 72 Square Station. Everyone stepped off the bus with their suitcases in their hands. Although everyone was wearing thick down jackets and wearing lint shoes. But it was also carried by the northwest wind and the snowflakes were quickly penetrated. Ren Hongyu said: "Sister, it's too cold, let's go eat first, today I invite everyone to shabu mutton." Tian Xiaorui said: "Why are you embarrassed to let Sister Hongyu invite us, let's still AA system." Sister Ren said: "I said it earlier, this is my sister's extra income, don't be polite to me, forget that I still owe you a meal." I said, "How we don't remember that you owe us a meal." Ren Hongyu said: "You forgot, not long after the start of school, let's come to the city to play, I lost my mobile phone, and I bought my mobile phone that time." After Ren Hongyu's words, Liu Yuexiao and Tian Xiaorui also remembered. Liu Yuexiao said: "In this case, today we will enjoy the happiness of giving back, I promise you." Ren Hongyu said: "Hehe, thank you brothers and sisters for appreciating the light." ”

On the south side of 72 Square, in the shabu shabu restaurant, the waiter let a few of us to the second floor, and a four-person table sat down. The waiter handed over the menu and placed it on the table. Sister Ren said: "Continue, you order first." I said, "Sister Ren, just look at the arrangement, I'm the worst at ordering." Ren Hongyu said: "Either the moon will tell you." Yuexiao took the menu and said, "I'll write, let's brainstorm." Ren Hongyu said: "Mutton, let's have a plate per person." Liu Yuexiao said, "Okay." "Use a pen to draw a check mark on the printed menu. Tian Xiaorui said: "If there is shabu pork, you can also have a plate." Ren Hongyu said: "Remember the moonlight." I said, "If there is sheep blood or duck blood, a plate will fine, and then a plate of sweet potato chips or winter melon slices." Ren Hongyu said: "Of these four things, each of them needs a plate." Tian Xiaorui said: "The meat and vegetables are almost there, just order more green vegetables." Liu Yuexiao said: "Let's have a spinach and another Chinese cabbage." Ren Hongyu said: "Add a belly, add a superb fat cow, okay, that's it, that's it, what wine do we drink." Yuexiao said: "The four of us will have a bottle of Yamato Chunde." ”

I said, "Sister Yue, I can't drink liquor." Tian Xiaorui said: "Sister Yue, I don't drink liquor either." Ren Hongyu said: "It's too cold, you two drink less, and Yuexiao and I drink more." "Look at this shape, I can't drag it out if I don't drink something. I said, "Okay, you two count." Liu Yuexiao said: "How can we tease you." ”

The waiter said, "You can go and mix the condiments yourself, I'll place an order, do you want the soup to be slightly spicy or clear." Ren Hongyu said: "Is there a mandarin duck pot?" The waiter said, "Yes." Ren Hongyu said: "Then come to the mandarin duck pot." The waiter said, "Okay." "Go down and place an order.

Ren Hongyu said: "Continue, you look at things here, and the three of us will go to get the spices." I said, "Okay." Liu Yuexiao said: "Continue, what seasoning do you have, is it sesame sauce or seafood?" I said, "I like sesame sauce." Liu Yuexiao said: "Okay." "The three beauties went to fetch the ingredients, and I took care of the luggage here.

There was not much time, the waiter sent the mandarin duck pot, meat, vegetables, wine, and a small dining cart pushed over and placed it next to our table. At this time, Ren Hongyu and the other three also took free ingredients, melons and fruits and other gifts, and filled the table of the four people.

Ren Hongyu opened the wine bottle and poured half a glass of wine for each of the four of us, Tian Xiaorui said, "That's all I have." Ren Hongyu said: "Continue, do you only have that half a cup." I said, "That's two or two, and I'm too much." Tian Xiaorui had already poured some slices of meat into the boiling water, and after a few rolls, Yuexiao said, "Okay, let's start." ”

Ren Hongyu said: "Thank you to the three classmates and fellow villagers for giving me this opportunity to express Xiàn, come to our four fellow villagers to have a bite together, and wish our friendship will last forever." Liu Yuexiao, Tian Xiaorui and I raised their glasses to greet each other, and the four glasses of wine collided in the air, making a crisp clinking sound. Everyone said, "For the sake of our deep affection, take a bite." ”

After three sips of wine, I felt that my stomach was not cold, and a hot breath emanated from the inside out. Ren Hongyu let the dishes, everyone ate meat and drank wine, and ate a ditch full of trenches in half an hour. Ren Hongyu asked, "Do you want anything more?" Liu Yuexiao said: "I'm full, I don't want it." Tian Xiaorui said: "I'm also full, don't ask for it." Ren Hongyu said, "I'll continue you." I said, "I've eaten too." Ren Hongyu said, "Okay, let's go." ”

At the turn of the stairs on the second floor, Ren Hongyu settled the accounts, and the four of them went downstairs to leave the shabu-shabu restaurant. Ren Hongyu called a taxi, and everyone put their luggage in the trunk and car, with a starting price of ten yuan, and sent the four of us to the railway station square.

I paid 10 yuan for the taxi at the railway station square, and the taxi left, and a few of us went to the supermarket on the other side of the train station to purchase local products from the Central Plains, ready to bring them to our families. (To be continued......)
