When I came here for more than half a year, the area around the construction site was still desolate, and it was difficult to find a restaurant, which was still very simple and cheap. As you can tell from the fly-stained fly paper in the corners, the hygiene of the restaurant is not much better. But anyway, the restaurant I went to at that time was already one of the best in the neighborhood.

Now that such a long time has passed, there have been great changes around the construction site, there are many decent restaurants, and several hotels that look very high-grade have also opened.

Cities are developing at a rapid pace, but the people who are working hard for these changes have not changed. The rich are still rich, the poor are still poor, the hard is still working, and the lazy are still lazy......

The house where Ning's father came is a Sichuan restaurant, with two floors, the downstairs is the lobby, and the upstairs is a private room.

The owner of the hotel seemed to be very familiar with Father Ning, and when he saw Father Ning entering the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile and handed over a cigarette: "Brother Ning is here, how many people are there today?" ”

Father Ning took the cigarette and asked with a smile: "It's just our family of three." Is there a private room upstairs? We finally got together as a family and wanted to have a good talk. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! As far as our relationship is concerned, even if there is no one, I will clear it out for you. This is your little boy who is studying at Jiangbei University, he is really a high-achieving student, and he looks like a talent. "The owner of the restaurant is really a typical businessman, and what he says is very comfortable to listen to.

Father Ning smiled awkwardly, didn't answer, only said "thank you", and took Ning Yu and Ning Mu upstairs, and entered the box under the arrangement of the hotel owner.

Because it was the second time that he had heard someone say something like "a top student of Jiangbei University", Ning Yu obviously felt that as a student of Jiangbei University, he must be the pride of his parents outside.

But the more proud this identity made his parents, the more disappointed they must have been with Ning Yu's suspension of school. If someone knew Ning Yu's current true situation, would they laugh at his parents, and would it make his parents feel particularly disgraceful?

Ning Yu secretly clenched his fists, and felt even more that he had to fight for himself on the path he had chosen. He didn't want anyone to be disappointed by him, and he didn't want to be the talk of anyone after dinner like a joke.

Maybe because it was an old acquaintance, the boss served the food very quickly, and Ning Yu and the others hadn't sat down for too long, and a plate of dishes had already been served.

"Can you have a drink?" Father Ning suddenly asked.

Ning Yu was stunned when he heard this, looked at his mother, then at his father, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "There are no other arrangements in the afternoon, you can drink some wine." ”

"You shouldn't be so inhibited when you're out with your friends, right? Boys, do things generously, this is more popular. Do you drink liquor or beer? ”

"Uh...... Either way. ”

Ning's mother said with some worry on the side: "Didn't you say that you don't drink alcohol on the construction site?" Don't drink it. ”

"It's okay, I asked Lao Wu to keep an eye on me, I won't go anywhere in the afternoon, there are no other arrangements." Father Ning said, got up and opened the door and called the waiter and asked for a bottle of liquor.

Ning Yu actually doesn't like to drink baijiu, he thinks the taste of baijiu is too unpleasant, especially after drinking, the smell of wine brought out by burping is as if his stomach is full of vomit, which is particularly disgusting.

But thinking that he was about to leave Jiangbei and see his parents next time, maybe it would be the time for the New Year, so he didn't say anything, just waited silently by the side, waiting for the opportunity to be right, and then said goodbye.

After all the dishes were on the table, Father Ning opened the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine for Ning Yu, and filled a glass for himself, then he raised the wine glass towards Ning Yu, lightly touched the tabletop, which was considered a clinking glass, and then raised his neck and took a big sip. In this sip, he actually drank a small half cup, just like drinking boiled water.

Seeing this, Ning Yu also hurriedly took a big sip of wine.

"Shhh...... Call! "The liquor tastes really spicy!

Mother Ning said helplessly: "Don't just drink wine, eat more vegetables." ”

"Hmm." Ning Yu nodded and picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of sweet and sour radish skin and sent it to his mouth, chewed it gently, and pressed the taste of wine, but he still couldn't avoid feeling the hot and uncomfortable stomach inside.

In a private room without outsiders, and after taking a big sip of wine, Ning Yu felt that it was time to say what he held in his heart, so he put down his chopsticks and prepared to speak.

However, before Ning Yu could say a word, he heard Ning's father say: "Eat more first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Although Father Ning was bowing his head and picking up vegetables at this time, it seemed that he had guessed that Ning Yu wanted to speak.

Although Ning's mother didn't know what was going on, she faintly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, so she frowned and said, "Old Ning, what's the matter with you?" If your child has something to say, let him say it. ”

"Let's talk about it after eating, so you don't have to wait for you to lose your appetite."

"Lao Ning! What's the matter with you! Ning's mother then turned her head to Ning Yu and said, "Don't worry about your father, your father is such a broken character." ”

"Hmm." Ning Yu nodded, didn't speak again, just lowered his head and ate silently.

The family finally got together again, and they were all fine before, but now that they are at the dinner table, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little delicate.

Ning Yu faintly felt that his father seemed to know what the purpose of his coming here was this time, and the smile he had been smiling all the way before might just be for others to see, but in fact, his father might not be in such a good mood as he appeared.

The atmosphere was supposed to be a very warm family dinner, but it turned out to be the whole family bowing their heads and eating in silence, and there was only the sound of "clanging" dishes and chopsticks colliding in the whole private room, and the atmosphere was very dull and abnormal.

Normally, they drink to cheer up, but Ning Yu and Ning's father both seem to be drinking, except for occasionally touching the table as a clinking glass, there is no interaction.

Mother Ning couldn't stand it anymore, slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", and said unhappily: "What's going on with you two grandfathers, you two have to say something." ”

Ning Yu stopped his chopsticks, looked at his mother, and then at his father, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but he was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to speak at all.

On the other hand, Ning's father didn't seem to hear his wife's complaints, and still took peanuts and sent them to his mouth.

In fact, Ning's father's alcohol consumption is not very good, this time because he was a little anxious, it was not half an hour, he had already drunk half a catty of wine, his whole face was already very red, and the chopsticks in his hand were also slightly shaking when he picked up the vegetables.

"When are you leaving?" Father Ning suddenly asked.

When he asked this, Father Ning still took peanuts and put them in his mouth, not looking at Mother Ning who looked puzzled at all, and Ning Yu who was full of shock.

It turned out that Father Ning already knew the purpose of Ning Yu's coming over this time. Just because he didn't say anything before doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. Just as he hasn't gone to Ning Yu for so long recently, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what Ning Yu has done and how far the game has progressed.

"Lao Ning, what are you talking about? Are you drinking too much? Mother Ning asked anxiously.

Ning Yu said: "I'll go to the magic capital in a few days." ”

Mother Ning was stunned when she heard this, turned her head to look at Ning Yu, and only felt incredible.

"What are you going to do in the Demon Capital?" Mother Ning asked Ning Yu hurriedly.

This time, before Ning Yu could answer, Father Ning had already said: "They have advanced to the competition, and the future games will be in the Demon Capital, if you don't go to the Demon Capital, will you still stay in Jiangbei?" ”

"Dad, you know everything?" Ning Yu was like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

Father Ning smiled, put down his chopsticks, sighed, looked up at Ning Yu across the table and said, "No matter what the result is, as long as you work hard, you won't regret it in the future." Go out, don't embarrass our Lao Ning family, do you know? ”

Originally, Ning Yu thought that it would be very difficult to come over to say goodbye this time, his father would be angry, and his mother would be sad, but he really didn't expect it to be like this.

Although his father particularly disapproves of him playing professional e-sports, he has resolutely taken this step, and his father is reluctant, but he still silently supports him, and even has been paying attention to everything about him.

"Dad, thank you." Ning Yu felt warm in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red, redder than his already drunken face.

Father Ning picked up the empty wine bottle and shook it, and after confirming that there was no wine in it, he looked up and asked Ning Yu, "Can you still drink it?" ”

Ning Yu nodded again and again: "You can drink a little more." ”

Hearing this, Ning's mother, who was still in a state of confusion, immediately stopped doing it: "You two drink less, how uncomfortable it is to get drunk......"

Father Ning ignored Mother Ning's nagging, waved his hand, and motioned for Ning Yu to ask for another bottle of wine.

Looking at his mother, and then at his father, who continued to eat with his head bored, Ning Yu hesitated for a moment, stood up, walked out of the box and called the waiter, and ordered another bottle of liquor.

"You two sons, how can you be virtuous? Forget it, leave it to you, whatever you want. Mother Ning sat on the side sulking and stopped talking, while Ning Yu and Father Ning continued to drink.

At this lunch, Ning Yu's father and son drank too much, and finally Ning Yu slept directly on the construction site in a daze, and slept until dark before waking up with a somewhat sore head.

Ning's mother handed Ning Yu a hot white sugar water for a night, and after Ning Yu drank it, he felt warm in his stomach, and the wine woke up a lot.

Looking around, Ning Yu found that Ning's father was not in the house, so he asked, "Where is my father?" ”

Ning's mother said: "The overseer has something to do with him, and he went out." Xiao Ning, are you really going to the magic capital? When will you be back? ”

"I don't know, I'll definitely come back to see you and Dad when I have the chance."

Ning Yu actually had a sentence in his heart, and he really couldn't say it. Because he knows that this time, except for the provincial relatives, he may not come back.
