Chapter 42: Reminiscences of the Past

Around five o'clock, I went to the nearby farmers' market to buy some vegetables, made a few hometown dishes, opened a few bottles of beer left over from home, and had a simple dinner with my cousin Lin Yuan.

And my cousin Lin Yuan was shocked by the fact that I could cook, and he was full of praise for the dishes I cooked, and jokingly said that I could be in charge of cooking when I went home for the New Year this year.

Our Yun family has a custom, every Spring Festival, my family and my cousin's family, as well as my father's brother, that is, my uncle's family, we will gather together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, do not go to the restaurant, and do it ourselves at home.

"Cousin, your house is quite big! How much does it cost to rent a month? Lin Yuan ate another piece of beer duck and said.

"Cheap, old new village, two rooms as a room rent, 1200 a month, and a yard to raise flowers and plants."

"Well, that's good, by the way, cousin... Do you still have a cat? Lin Yuan looked at Meow Meow, who was eating cat food, and asked.

"Well, help a friend raise it for a while!"

I couldn't help but think of the scene where Su Mengyuan coerced me, and I shuddered.

"The girl who borrowed your car, right?"

"Hmm!" I didn't expect Lin Yuan to be able to say it in one word.

"Cousin, I didn't say you, such a good girl, a cat for you, a car for you to drive, a beautiful person, and a good family condition, why don't you grasp it and let this girl become my cousin!" Lin Yuan seemed to hate iron and steel: "The Spring Festival is coming soon, don't bring a girl home for the New Year this year, let my grandparents be happy!" ”

"Lin Yuan, I understand all these brothers you said, this girl is very good, but because it's so good, with my family's family background, how can I be worthy of this girl, besides... Turnip greens have their own loves, your brother and I only like summer love in this life! ”

"Hey! It doesn't matter what you do so much, what age is it, and it's still the right one! Now they all advocate free love. Lin Yuan said that although people are more open-minded now, the economic conditions of the two sides are too different, and it is difficult to finally come together.

Even if the woman is rich and doesn't care about the car or house, if she doesn't have any skills and integrates into the upper class, how can the other party's parents look down on the man? This has been the reality since ancient times.

"Cousin, cousin, you are still too young, you will understand your brother when you are out of society!" I said to him in the tone of an elder.

"Well, you don't come to this set!"

Lin Yuan put an empty carapace shell into my bowl and teased: "Cousin, let me tell you something, some time ago... It seems to be the National Day holiday! I met Sister Qin Jing, she asked me about you, and asked me where you are developing now! You said... Did Sister Qin Jing resurgence with you? ”

I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still hear the word Qin Jing from other people's mouths, and after a short period of surprise, I said: "Lin Yuan, don't talk nonsense, what a resurgence... It's all gone, you didn't tell her where I am, did you? ”

"That's it! I just said that you are still working in W City. ”

Lin Yuan looked at me and said with a look of injustice, "Cousin, I didn't say you, it was the family that opposed you in the first place to break up, so why are you almost at the age of talking about marriage, why can't you give each other a chance?" Sister Qin Jing has really changed a lot, it's different from before, now she is very good at dressing up, and her whole temperament has changed, anyway, from my point of view, instead of a promise that doesn't reach the edge with Xia Qing... You might as well go and recover Sister Qin Jing, I believe she still has feelings for you, I have Sister Qin Jing's WeChat, do you want it?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone to find Qin Jing and opened her circle of friends, I saw a photo of Qin Jing, Lin Yuan was right, she has really changed!

I have to say that the university is a plastic surgery center, and now Qin Jing is no longer the feeling of the little sister next door, and the whole person is full of maturity and intellectuality.

I realized, yes! Since I broke off contact, I haven't seen Qin Jing again.

I can't believe it's the good girl who didn't dare to disobey her parents in high school; The girl who borrowed me an eraser and a refill and waited for her to walk around the playground at night after class; The girl who would stuff my hand warmer in the winter; The girl who would bring her breakfast before morning class......

My mind went back to four or five years ago, playing clips from high school, and I felt a little sentimental in my heart, and I thought about going back to the past for a few moments, maybe this was my first love! No matter how many years have passed, as long as you think about it, you will definitely remember it.

"Forget it, cousin, I couldn't stand the test of being in a different place at the beginning, so many years... It's all gone, and I don't have much face to face her, and if I meet in the future, I'll just say hello out of politeness! "I don't know why Qin Jing suddenly asked Lin Yuan about me, probably out of politeness, after all, the three of us have known each other since elementary school.

I think she must have hated me for many years, and I don't know if she met a man who accompanied her during her time in college, and if so, I hope that man must not let her down, cherish her, and don't give up on her easily because of a long-distance relationship like me.

"Hey, okay! Cousin, feelings are really tormenting, you said that when we were young, Sister Qin Jing, we had a good time! Lin Yuan lit a cigarette and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that the three of us haven't eaten at the same table for many years!" ”

"Hmm!"

I whispered a soft response to him, lit a melancholy cigarette, and asked what is the situation in the world? I don't know how to answer that, but those who have experienced it will understand that feeling.

After a few more bottles of beer, I was already getting slightly drunk, and the topic of conversation with my cousin Lin Yuan was no longer related to feelings, he asked me what interesting places in W City were, and I also recommended several, and even the surrounding cities can be visited.

I could only apologize and say to Lin Yuan: "Cousin, I have a tight working schedule, and I don't have a break if I don't have performance, and I don't have time to take you to go shopping." ”

"It's okay cousin, I also have friends here who are in college, and you're busy with your... I'll go find them then! ”

"Uh-huh, that's the only way it can be!"

In the evening, I took Lin Yuan to the "Love Shallow Rim Deep Bar" to play, Manager Wang also asked when our band had time to perform, there were guests who wanted to see us perform, I was happy to say that there would be time to come, there have been a lot of things recently.

When I came back, it was close to 23 o'clock, I was lying on the bed playing with my mobile phone, Lin Yuan was on the sofa in the living room for one night, and I went out to play with friends after tomorrow, I will live outside these days, and he doesn't want to trouble me.

I said that I was your brother, and these were nothing, but he said that it was convenient to be outside, and maybe he and his friends would go to Nanjing and Shanghai a day or two later.

Slid through the circle of friends, and I saw a circle of friends that Su Mengyuan had just posted: "Damn man!" ”
