I looked him up and down with a disgusted look, and said directly: "Come on, put away your fat pink fist, you said that you just clenched your fist, what is the matter with the orchid finger in the other hand?" ”

Lao Gou looked at me with complicated eyes, but said with a hint of sarcasm: "In addition to squeezing me, do you dare to be presumptuous to others?" ”

I seemed to be sketched by this amusing sentence, my face unconsciously smiled, caught up in the pictures of the past, and said after a long time: "When I first joined the company for half a year, I was quite afraid of you, but then I was really bold and made many correct but stubborn decisions, to be honest, if it weren't for Li Shi's matter, I would always respect you." ”

Lao Gou's mood changed quite quickly, he fell silent, and suddenly stopped talking, just looked at me, and then looked at the ceiling, and said to himself for a long time: "I thought you were because I was going to sell the hostel." ”

"Why don't you ask me if I had to keep the hostel if I had to do it again?"

"You will, I don't need to ask."

"I don't dare to answer so surely, Yu Hang was a warrior in the past, full of anger, and would roar with a hoarse voice, but now he won't, he is overwhelmed by life, he doesn't want to fight anymore, he just wants to compromise and live in peace, and take care of his own memories......"

Lao Gou stopped his gaze on me and said, "Yu Hang, you have changed, you dare to face the things of evasion, I heard that you went to the UK to find Li Shi?" ”

"You care about her, why don't you go find her yourself?"

"I don't know if you know that there is a small alley near the London Eye, where there is a store owned by an old Chinese woman, which is a national clothing store where foreign designers and domestic artists cooperate."

"I haven't been."

"I've been there many times, and every time I take the trouble to go in and see the hand-embroidered and colorful tie-dye patterns, although I can afford the numbers on the label, but I don't buy them, such a shop is out of place in the modern streets, full of worldly fireworks, and among the various signs, there will be hidden surprises, like the essence of life!"

"If you have this condition, why don't you go and get what you like."

"Go for what you like, this is your Yu Hang's style, but what about you now? Is it to find true love, or is it using a relationship to paralyze and heal the wounds of an attempted crush? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything about this, I don't have any relationship with Li Shi that is rumored by the outside world, you can rest assured to pursue it boldly, she is a good girl, if I guess correctly, with her character, she will come back for the New Year."

"How do you know?"

Lao Gou lowered his head gloomily, did not speak for a long time, stretched out his hand to extinguish the bedside lamp and lay down, he turned his back to me and said, "I'm tired, sleep for a while, and call me again when you eat." ”

I didn't dive into the question, I left the room with a strange feeling, the night was dark again, the cold wind kept blowing, I pulled the zipper of my down jacket to the very top of my neck, and stood in the wind for a long time......

……

At dinner time, Lao Gou was woken up by his father, Jiang Laiyue and I helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and my mother was busy feeding Xiaobao, and she loved Xiaobao even more than I did when I was a child.

At the dinner table, Lao Gou and I sat alone on one side, my parents sat on the other side, and Jiang Laiyue sat on the other side with my grandmother.

Dad and Gou greeted each other politely, while I poured wine for everyone with a wine bottle and poured a glass of juice for Mom and Grandma, but Jiang Laiyue looked a little restrained, perhaps because my parents were not enthusiastic enough.

I poured Jiang Laiyue a glass of wine, and gave her another look, signaling that she didn't need to be too restrained.

Jiang Laiyue nodded.

After everyone raised their glasses, Dad hurriedly persuaded Lao Gou to eat vegetables, and once put Jiang Laiyue aside, at this time, the grandmother who has always been not good at talking broke the silence for the first time, she raised her glass to Jiang Laiyue and said: "Girl, grandma will have a drink with you?" ”

I naturally understood what my grandmother meant, the reason why she said this was to relieve Jiang Laiyue's emotions, I got up and said: "Grandma, Jiang Laiyue and I should respect you, after all, you are the elders here." ”

My mother finally opened her mouth: "Xiao Jiang, are you still in the habit of eating vegetables?" ”

Jiang Laiyue nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I have eaten at home, and it has the taste of my mother." ”

Lao Gou said with a cold face: "It's normal for Mr. Jiang not to eat this kind of home-cooked taste, I still remember that there was a very authentic home-cooked restaurant next door to Laiyue Hotel in the past, but I was tossed away by you, and later I heard that the couple divorced because of this matter......

"Mr. Gou, do you think I'm messing around?"

When Jiang Laiyue asked this sentence, the aura in the workplace was revealed, so that Lao Gou, who had lived in the business for a long time, was stunned for a moment before responding: "I only saw the results I didn't want to see." ”

Jiang Laiyue did not rush to refute Lao Gou, but said to his parents and parents: "I'm sorry uncle and aunt, we use the family banquet as a negotiation ground again." ”

Mom smiled and signaled that it didn't matter, and I picked up the topic and said, "Is there something else to be said about you?" ”

When I was about to help Jiang Laiyue out of the siege, she said very calmly: "Mr. Gou only knows that I finally banned their store, but I don't know that this store has been mortgaged by her gambler husband before I bought it, I tried my best to buy the store, and finally gave the woman a sum of money, she used this money to get a divorce, I don't know what angle you took out of context and said that I destroyed the family." ”

Dad and Lao Gou glanced at each other, obviously with some suspicion in their eyes, but such suspicion is forgivable, because Jiang Laiyue's previous incident made Dad still a little stalked.

At this time, my father finally opened his mouth: "Let's not talk about the past, let's continue to drink." ”

I obviously have a lot to say, but in the end I chose to be silent, and I am even more glad that I am so silent, because Jiang Laiyue has already said everything that should be said in place, if my parents are still dissatisfied, I am afraid she will have nothing to do.

After a few glasses of wine, Jiang Laiyue left the table early under the pretext of stomach discomfort, and I immediately followed her out.

Jiang Laiyue forcibly held back her emotions and turned her back to me, but her body was trembling, and this trembling implied irrepressible emotions.

She was dressed very thinly, and she was weak because of drinking, coupled with the violent fluctuations in her mood, which made her whole person look so swaying, I looked at her departing back, and suddenly my heart was torn again, this feeling was only when I said goodbye to Li Shi.

I finally couldn't control myself, and then hugged her tightly from behind, almost choked up and said to her, "You don't have to live for anyone's tongue, and you don't have to explain the gossip." ”

Jiang Laiyue nodded heavily, but did not look back at me.
