Chapter 61: Now, I don't have a choice
"Yun Qian, can this air conditioner still work?"
Su Mengyuan pointed to the vertical cabinet air conditioner in my living room and asked, "I'm cold!" ”
I picked up my beer and shook it at her, and said with a smile, "Come, drink a can of beer with me and it won't be cold..."
"Cut, I don't want it. I don't drink well, in case you are uneasy and kind, and take advantage of the danger of others! ”
"Hell-talking, knowing that I have bad intentions... Then you will return the sheep to the tiger's mouth?"
I said angrily: "The air conditioner is remotely controlled on the coffee table, you can turn it on yourself!" By the way, Su Mengyuan, next time don't just remember to buy me wine, and bring a pack of Liqun cigarettes by the way. ”
"Are you drunk Yun Qian, talking in your dreams! Think beautifully, depending on the mood of this girl. After Su Mengyuan turned on the air conditioner, he sat on the sofa and said while teasing the cat.
The so-called short-handed people, drinking Su Mengyuan's beer, I suddenly asked with concern: "Did you come from the school?" ”
"No, from home."
"Also, your house is just across the road from me."
A road separated by a gap between the rich and the poor at both ends, and I asked, "Then you... Have you eaten dinner? ”
"Nope!" Su Mengyuan's head shook like a rattle.
Then she complained a little and said, "Yun Qian, you conscienceless... He eats for himself, and doesn't leave me a little..."
"Gotta get it, I'm really afraid of you, the so-called short hand, there are still some ribs left in the refrigerator, I'll make you sauce ribs!"
Su Mengyuan buzzed like a fly and kept talking, looking at her resentful little eyes, I couldn't bear it, I was too lazy to do it, but now I came to the kitchen to start cooking.
"Even if you know each other, it's not in vain that I'm so good to you!" Su Mengyuan sat on the sofa and said with a smile.
"Come on, I'm afraid you have other plans."
"Yun Qian, what can I say about you......"
"If you don't have money, then Tuse!" I quipped.
"Whew!"
I no longer responded to her, I concentrated on making my ribs, put the washed ribs in a bowl, add green onions, ginger and garlic, salt, pepper, cooking wine and bean paste and mix well, due to time constraints, I only marinated for half an hour, and then star anise cinnamon stir-fried, after adding cooking wine, add water to boil open rock sugar, and boiled for another half an hour, while waiting, I and Su Mengyuan passed the time. Finally, the juice is collected and the pot is released, and a home-cooked dish is freshly baked.
"Yun Qian, it's so fragrant!"
Su Mengyuan smelled the fragrance and shouted, I don't know if Su Mengyuan's mouth is tricky, in short, whatever! If you love to eat or not, if you don't eat, I will eat it myself.
I brought the dish to the table and said, "Don't pet the cat, wash your hands and try my hand." ”
Su Mengyuan came to the table and grabbed a piece of pork ribs and bit it in his mouth, I stared at her and asked cautiously, "Taste... What do you think? It's not as unpalatable as you might think! ”
"These ribs... Do it..."
Su Mengyuan smiled weirdly: "It's too delicious!" ”
"Don't scare me, really?"
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her nod, I'm really afraid that this Miss Su is the most tricky, in case I don't taste good, I'll be really embarrassed... I don't know how to end it.
"Yun Qian, come, drink beer!"
Saying that, Su Mengyuan had already opened a can of beer and held it up in front of me, I picked up a can of beer in surprise and pulled the pull ring, and said, "No, didn't you say you wouldn't drink it, and now you're not afraid that I will plot against you!" ”
"Cut, forgive you for not having the guts, how can such fragrant pork ribs be without wine."
Su Mengyuan put on a look of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and we took the first sip.
………
"Su Mengyuan, it's almost 0 o'clock, how do you go back? Did you come by car. ”
I dried four cans of 6 cans of beer, and Su Mengyuan had two cans, and I could see that she was already a little dizzy, and her little face was flushed.
"Didn't drive!"
"Then I'll send you home, are you sure that your family won't scold you when you go back like this?"
"Why, Yun Qian, say... Are you trying to do wrong, let me tell you... Don't even think about it, I'm sure I'll go home to sleep, my dad isn't home. Su Mengyuan was a little upset, and his pronunciation was a little vague.
"Okay, okay, just two cans of beer, can you go?"
Remembering the time when Su Mengyuan spit on me before, he drank half a bottle of wine alone, and now he drank two cans of beer and went up, I really have some doubts: "Su Mengyuan, are you really drunk?" Let's go, I'll take you to your doorstep. ”
"Hmm..."
She hummed softly, I helped her all the way across the street, the entrance of the Kangqiao Mansion was strictly secure, 24-hour security guards were on duty, and we were allowed to go only after showing the access control card.
The weather in the middle of the night was very cold, and we shivered from the cold, I didn't take off my coat and drape it on Su Mengyuan's body like the actor in the movie, after all, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and I don't want her to misunderstand anything from this kind of behavior.
After sending Su Mengyuan to the door of the villa, I was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped me: "Yun Qian, thank you... Gave me a taste of the feeling of eating at home, I haven't eaten at home in a long time. ”
"You're welcome, tell me in advance what you want to eat in the future, and I'll do your share if I'm free..."
By the light of the street lamp, I seemed to see tears in the corners of Su Mengyuan's eyes, so my heart softened, I knew... A girl from a single-parent family like her, her father is busy with business. Don't look at her, she lacks nothing, but it is a luxury to be able to eat a meal at home, especially with her family.
Su Mengyuan nodded and opened the door and entered the house, looking at her bleak back, I suddenly felt that fate was really strange, fate gave Su Mengyuan no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she had what she wanted, but it took away a complete home from her.
I staggered out of the Kangqiao Mansion and bought a pack of Liqun cigarettes in a nearby store that had not yet closed, not only the price of pork had risen, but also sold Liqun cigarettes for 15 yuan a pack some time ago, and now it is 16 yuan a pack, blowing cold wind and burning melancholy.
Yes, nothing in this world is set in stone.
I'm thinking about it again, I'm thinking about what Xia Qing is doing now, is it not asleep yet, lying in the panoramic room of Shangri-La and watching the night view of the Bund of the Huangpu River.
And Xia Qing is thinking about me at this time, will the person he is thinking about? I didn't want to bother her, and I couldn't even find a topic to talk about.
———
November is gone, and when I wake up in the morning, it's the first day of December 1st, and I have said "hello" to November and never given me a good hug.
The temperature was also even lower, the weather forecast showed 1 degree Celsius outside, I hurriedly washed my hair and dried it and grabbed a big back, and I looked a little mature in the mirror.
Wearing a mask and gloves, even though the weather was cold, I rode a battery car to speed up and go to work as soon as possible. I used to have a choice, but now I don't.
In this world, not only are people's joys and sorrows different, but also their life trajectories are different.
Someone is still sleeping lazily when you are crowding the bus and subway, earning more than you; Someone travels abroad when you are working overtime to catch up with your performance, and they are doing better than you; There are people who can't even collect rent when you are dreaming of your dreams and paying off your mortgage......
In any case, cherish everything even if you don't have it. One day, the wish will come true!
