Chapter 37: Seeing the Sea in a Dream

(xxxvii)

Zhongshan returned to Qingshan on the morning of the twenty-third year of the lunar month. Because he decided to go home temporarily, and caught up with the Spring Festival, Zhongshan didn't buy a seat ticket, so he was almost standing all the way, and only at night, when he was really sleepy, he curled up at the junction of the carriage and squinted a little for a while.

Meihui went to pick him up at the train station, wearing a dark green long down jacket, a white knitted cashmere hat on his head, and long brown leather boots on his feet, looking mature and noble. After meeting, he was greeted with a warm hug.

When he walked out of the platform, he heard the sound of crackling firecrackers over the city, and Zhong Shan's mind came up with the scene of the New Year in his childhood. Often, they would frighten him with a small whip that was lit and sparked, because he had no support from his brothers, and he was the least daring, and he never dared to release the whip himself.

Seeing that Zhong Shan was a little stunned, Meihui stabbed him and asked, "College student, what do you want?" ”

Entering the house, Zhongshan wonders that his mother is busy working in the kitchen and is not as sick as Mie describes. I asked my mother how she was doing. The mother hesitated for a moment, saying that it was still an old problem with stomach pain, and she had taken a few doses of medicine, and now she is much better.

Mie put down her luggage, took off her coat and hat, washed her hands in the bathroom, and went into the kitchen to help her mother prepare breakfast. In the kitchen, the two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. In Zhong Shan's impression, such a scene was not in the past, and it can be seen that the two of them have had a lot of contact in recent times. He seems to understand that urging him to go home for the Spring Festival this time is actually a game set up by his mother and Meihui.

After breakfast, I still followed my mother's instructions and went to bed to make up for the missing sleep on the train. Meihui said that at night, Quanzi and Zhuzi brought their respective girlfriends to catch the wind for Zhong Shan, so that Zhong Shan could rest well during the day and socialize with everyone at night.

Dinner is arranged in a private room of the Shiwei Tian Hotel, which is the guest invited by the pillar. Zhu resigned from his job at a small hardware factory on the street, ran to Guangdong to turn his clothes, and his waist bag had begun to bulge. Zhuzi's girlfriend is a salesperson hired in the clothing store he opened, because he came to the store at the earliest, it is only natural that he changed from a hired worker to a store manager and then to a quasi-proprietor. Quanzi's girlfriend is a little nurse in his father's clinic, Director Wu has resigned from his job in the municipal hospital and opened his own clinic. Among the three ladies, Meihui is naturally the most eye-catching, both beautiful and fashionable, because she has stage experience, so she is even more generous and decent in speaking and doing things.

After three rounds of drinking, the three brothers were drunk, recalling the joys and sorrows of the past when they were together, Zhong Shan and Quanzi Zhuzi all felt a lot, saying that compared with the past, now it is really a life like heaven, and the most important thing is that there are three fairy sisters in heaven to accompany them. So they pulled out the process of meeting and falling in love with their girlfriends. Whoever fails to explain and hastily responds will be punished for his wine.

"I once went to the clinic for an injection with a fever, and she pulled down my pants hard, and since she saw me, she had to marry me," he said. ”

The pillar said: "She doesn't use her hands, but her eyes can speak, and when there are no customers in the store, she always hooks me with small eyes, who can stand this?" ”

Compared with the straightforward expressions of the two worker brothers, Quanzi and Zhuzi, Zhong Shan, a college student, was too conservative and reserved, so he naturally wanted to drink more.

The banquet did not disperse until midnight, and Zhongshan sent Meihui home. Mie carried Zhong Shan's arm, and because she was a little dizzy, Zhong Shan approached Mei Hui. When I got downstairs, Meihui said Zhong Shan, you can send me upstairs, it's very dark in the corridor. After knowing each other for a few years, Zhong Shan came to Meihui's house for the first time, and it was midnight, so he couldn't help but hesitate. Mie saw Zhongshan's thoughts and said that it was okay, my parents had gone back to their hometown, and my grandmother was sick and needed to be taken care of, and they would not be able to come back until the end of the year. The two went up to the second floor together. Meihui took out the key and opened the door, turned on the light in the living room, and saw that Zhong Shan was still standing at the door, so she pushed him into her room with a smile, and ordered him to lie down for a while to rest and rest, and she boiled him some water to make a cup of tea to sober up. The drunken Zhong Shan seemed to have been "slapped with flowers", took off his shoes, and obediently lay on the pink floral sheets.

In the haze, Fang Jing came to his side, took his hand and said, "Zhong Shan, I'll take you to the ancient town to see the sea?" Zhong Shanxin said, "The ancient town of your hometown is not near the sea, where can you see the sea." Thinking like this in his heart, he couldn't say it in his mouth, and when he thought about listening to the rain that time, Fang Jing's whimsical ideas could always bring him unexpected surprises, so he obeyed her call. When he came to the seashore, he felt a smooth white stone covered with thick moss, and a spring of water bubbled out of the spring. Fang Jing said, "This is the sea, you take off your clothes, let's go swim." Zhong Shan obediently took off his clothes and went to the sea, he learned to swim in the swimming pool when he was a child, so he was naturally not afraid of water. The waves were surging and the water was warm, and he slid his legs and arms freely, a little dizzy, but his mood was extremely excited and happy. As he swam and swam along, he was suddenly lifted into the sky by a huge wave, and then thrown down and sank into the trough.

When she woke up, Lin Meihui was facing away from Zhong Shan, sitting in the mirror of the dresser to take alabaster on her face, wearing a pale pink nightdress. Zhong Shan hurriedly pulled the quilt and covered his naked body. Hearing that Zhong Shan was moving, Meihui didn't look back and asked, "Who is Fang Jing?" You shouted the name all night. Zhong Shan replied without thinking: "My classmate in college, my current girlfriend." ”

Lin Meihui suddenly turned around, glared at Zhong Shan's face that was pale from hangover, and shouted almost hysterically: "Why? What am I doing wrong?? ”
