It was early morning on the third day when the train arrived at Aoyama.

In the northern summer, the sky dawns early, and when you get off the train and step onto the platform, you are greeted by a cool breeze in the summer morning. Because the family was not told the specific date of return in advance, naturally no one came to pick up the station. Zhong Shan carried his backpack, dragged his suitcase, walked out of the station with an acoustic guitar, turned right, and it was the No. 2 bus tram leading to his house.

After four years away from home, he planned to fly away, but unexpectedly returned to the city where he had lived for twenty years, Zhong Shan felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if he had lost his way in the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers.

Zhong Shan knew that after returning to Qingshan City, he faced two things to deal with immediately, one was his marriage to Meihui, and the other was to report to the radio and television station.

The father has said in a previous letter that the marriage with Meihui will be handled by the parents of both parties, and there is no need for the two children to worry about anything, as long as the two of them are present at the wedding, but it can't be delayed for too long, Meihui's pregnancy has been five months. The father said that the matter of reporting to the radio and television station should not be delayed, and men should not delay the love of their children, but should still focus on their careers.

When their son returns unexpectedly, his parents are overjoyed. The mother was busy going into the kitchen to make fried noodles for her son, while the father hurriedly called the prospective in-laws' family and went to the Shiweitian Hotel for dinner at about half past five in the evening to discuss the marriage of the two children.

At five o'clock in the evening, the three members of the Zhong family came to the Shiweitian Hotel half an hour in advance, walked into the "Lily Hall" on the second floor of the reservation, turned on the air conditioner, and waited for the three members of the Lin family to come.

When Mie walked into the "Lily Hall" with her parents, Zhong Shan was really taken aback, she had not seen her for three months, she had become a completely different person, her body was fat, she was wearing a wide seersucker waistless dress, her hair was casually tied in a bun, her face was plain, and she had a few pregnancy spots. Seeing Zhong Shan looking at himself with strange eyes, Mie's smile was a little shy.

After getting along with Meihui for more than four years, Zhong Shan had dinner at the same table with the Lin family's parents for the first time, and because of Meihui's unexpected pregnancy, it seemed that he should naturally bear the main responsibility as a man, so he couldn't help but be a little restrained.

Meihui's father Lin Qingquan first broke the deadlock, shook hands with the old director Zhong Shulin, but looked at Zhong Shan with a face, and said with a smile: "When a college student returns from school, he will immediately face marrying a wife and having children, which is really a happy coming!" ”

Zhong Shulin also smiled: "Yes, Brother Qingquan, you and I worked in the same bureau back then, but I didn't expect to become in-laws in the end, and our fate is not shallow!" ”

Talking and laughing, the six people sat down. The two fathers sat next to each other in the main seat, the two mothers faced each other, and finally Mie Kanyama sat down. Meihui gently pulled Zhong Shan's left hand with her right hand, Zhong Shan was a little uncomfortable, and seeing Meihui's affectionate appearance, he had to let her pull it.

Zhong Shulin specially brought Moutai liquor that had been stored for ten years from home, and while pouring wine for Lin Qingquan, he said happily: "Today is a big day, our brothers can get drunk and rest!" ”

"Okay, get drunk!" Lin Qingquan happily agreed, seeing that the wine had already been poured into the glass, he did not refuse.

When he was halfway through the wine, Zhong Shulin signaled his wife with his eyes, Li Chunhua understood, opened the artificial leather bag placed on the sofa next to him, took out a pre-sealed red envelope containing 2,000 yuan in cash, came to Meihui's side, and said: "Meihui is going to marry into our Zhong family, this is a little bit of my heart with your Uncle Zhong." ”

Meihui looked at Zhong Shan with her eyes, but did not get a response, and looked at her mother again, and her mother said, "Your Aunt Zhong gave it to you, you can take it, and remember to honor Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong in the future." Both families laughed. Meihui was embarrassed to accept the red envelope.

Zhong Shulin stood up happily: "Cheers to the happy life of the two children in the future!" The two fathers cleared their glasses and poured their wines, and the others drank their glasses as well.

Lin Qingquan suddenly remembered Zhong Shan: "Prospective son-in-law, I have graduated from college, and the plan to create a man has been completed ahead of schedule, so I will also have a drink with the two fathers!" After speaking, he took the wine bottle and poured wine into Zhong Shan's cup.

Zhong Shulin didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Zhong Shan, you really have to give you a glass of wine to Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, and thank them for giving you such a good daughter." ”

Zhong Shan stood up, and Meihui also followed sensibly, picked up the drink, and said, "Let's toast the four parents with a cup, thank you for your nurturing grace!" ”

All six of them drank the wine in their glasses, and everyone's mood was extremely complicated.
