The lunch was awkward, and my mother didn't talk to either of us, and ate my own. I had to tell my dad about my plans to travel, and I knew my mom was listening anyway.

"I haven't figured out exactly where to go, but you both have passports anyway, and I'll tell you when I'm ready." I finished the last bite of rice and put down the bowl, "The initial plan is Southeast Asia, warm." ”

"Going abroad? That's how expensive that is. My dad smiled and greeted me politely.

"You don't have to worry about it."

"That's it." My dad looked at my mom, but my mom deliberately didn't look at him, so he stopped talking, so he had to say to me again: "I'll pay for our money later, don't worry about it, you save more money yourself." ”

My mom let out another vague 'hum', but still didn't speak. My dad made a color with me, which meant I didn't bother with it. I smiled and stood up and began to clean up the dishes on the table.

My mom is quite a tsundere person, she doesn't know how to find the steps by herself, even if someone gives her the steps, she doesn't go down easily, she always has to hold it for a while. My dad was the opposite, he was done with his anger, he never needed steps, and he slipped out by himself.

I don't really like my mom's character, but I seem to be more with her.

That night, my mom sent me a link, an article: "The world is so big, why should you go to Indonesia, these 13 reasons are enough to convince you".

I looked at the headline and thought: I don't need thirteen reasons, one is enough - mom wants to go.

It seems that the old couple has reconciled, and the destination of the trip is hotly discussed, and the next thing I have to do is the hotel ticket and the guide.

After deciding on a free travel program, one weekend in mid-January, I went to a travel agency to pay for the hotel and round-trip airfare. My dad said he wanted to pay, but I refused, because I specially booked a VILLA hotel in order to enjoy the trip, Indonesian characteristic house, with a small courtyard and swimming pool, equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan a night, if my parents know the price, I am afraid that it will be another storm.

Taking a step back, even if they accepted my arrangement, they would inevitably feel the pain in their flesh, and then save on other aspects and live in a villa to eat instant noodles. I want to have a good time and don't want to travel a little unpleasant.

Anyway, they don't know English, so they can't find out the price.

When I came out of the travel agency, my mobile phone shook, and a red dot appeared on the avatar of Lin Jiangnan's fat orange cat, which made my heart tense involuntarily.

He hasn't reached out to me since the last meal, and I haven't reached out to him, so it's like we've been in touch. His circle of friends is also very silent, and only one song he shared last weekend night was Karen Mok's "What Is the Truth of Love". I didn't want to think that this song had anything to do with me, so I didn't like it or leave a comment.

What I think is that he probably just retreated, after all, he was still very young, and we didn't have any heart-rending entanglements. For me, he really can't be nostalgic.

But he suddenly sent a message today, which couldn't help but make my mind move, and I guessed a lot of things he might say in my head. But it was just a flash of thought, and it didn't put it into practice to arouse any emotions. I clicked on his profile picture, and it was a simple and regular greeting, "What have you been up to lately?" ”

"Ready to travel."

"Where are you going?" He asked me.

"Bali. Just paid the money and flew next Wednesday. ”

"How many days?"

"Seven days."

I stood in the cold wind to reply to messages, my hands were a little stiff, so I pushed the door and entered a nearby café, asked for a latte, sat down, and slid my phone away again. Lin Jiangnan's fat orange cat avatar already had a red dot on it, and he asked me, "How are you going to get to the airport?" ”

"Take a taxi."

"Okay, then have a nice trip."

This is really polite, and there is a bit of distancing in the politeness. I stared at the message he had sent and didn't know how to reply. I was about to simply reply with a 'thank you', and I forgot the dead talk of this day, when I saw him send another message: "I want to trouble you with something, I don't know if it's inconvenient." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied to him: "Convenient, what's the matter?" ”

"Can you bring me a Balinese fridge magnet back? You can look like anything. ”

"Of course it's fine, what more?"

"Nothing else."

"That's it? It's easy. I gave him a thumbs up, "Xu Yijing learned that I was going to transfer from Zhigang when I came back, but she made a list for me." You're welcome. ”

"In that case, you can bring me something else, too." He said.

"What do you want? Give me a list. ”

"The list doesn't go on. Just take what you find interesting, I won't pick it. ”

I thought about it and thought it was a lot harder than asking me to buy a list of things, but I should have come down anyway. Actually, I want to know what I find interesting and I will bring back to him.

I didn't finish my coffee after talking to him, and I wanted to take it away, but then I felt that I didn't have anything to do anyway, so why hurry. I want to live for 30 years, I was ignorant when I was young, I studied when I was young, and I went to work when I grew up, but in fact, there are not many days of leisure in my life, so it's better to waste it like this, why do I have to have something to do.

Every inch of time is an inch of gold, and today my sister will throw a few pieces of gold at it.

The coffee shop was sparsely populated with a few tables of customers, some working on laptops, some playing games with their phones, and some talking in whispers with their peers. I felt a little bored after watching it for a while, and I realized that it was not easy to simply waste time. I flipped through the circle of friends randomly, and I saw the song shared by Lin Jiangnan again, so I took out the headphones and clicked on the link.

The melody of the song is quiet, and Karen Mok has a unique voice, which seems to sing and whisper, which instantly brings the boring picture in the coffee shop to life. I watched with my cheeks crossed and began to switch perspectives, trying to guess other people's stories, why they were here, their jobs and personalities. Have fun.

It wasn't until the person at work finally closed the computer with a tired face, until the person who was talking to shook hands and left, and until the boy who was playing the game waited for his girlfriend that I realized that the sun had set in the west.

So I got up and left.

Karen Mok's singing voice has always been with me, singing over and over again, annotating my life.

In fact, a person's life is not too bad

Occasionally, there is a little sadness

I don't think anyone else can see it

Even if loneliness makes me sad

I will also try to make myself think about it......

I don't know why Lin Jiangnan shared this song, but this afternoon, it won my heart.

On Wednesday, I took my parents on a journey, and when I set off, I posted a circle of friends.

In the past, when I was on vacation, I rarely posted on Moments, and I felt that it was okay to leave busy colleagues to go to Hi by myself, and I also sent it out for people to see, which was a bit of a feeling of showing off my elbows in front of the hungry, for fear that it would be annoying. But this time it's different, this time I'm out of work, I'm idle, I'm lazy, I'm hi, it's all right.

It was already dark when the plane arrived at Denpasar Airport, so I took my parents to get a visa on arrival, exchange local currency, and successfully find a hotel car to pick us up.

The hotel I booked was in the Kuta area, some distance from the airport. My dad was very excited to take pictures with his mobile phone in the car, but he couldn't take anything when it was dark, so my mother sarcastically mocked him next to him, saying that he couldn't wait to show off when he went abroad, and my dad said that my mom would always pour cold water on people.

I didn't bother to get involved in their daily verbal fights, so I leaned on the open window and watched the scenery. The night in Bali has a very light feeling, as if the sky will be bright at any time. The wind is soft, gentle and moist on the face, which is very different from Beijing. Here, there is probably no chance to use a scarf.

Luckily, the hotel is the same as in the photos, the rooms are all wooden thatched local buildings, one room is a small courtyard, there is a small swimming pool in the courtyard, and a few frangipani flowers on the edge of the pool have fallen into the water, and the scene of coming out of the photo library is alive.

The waiter led us to introduce the structure and facilities in the house, took the tip and left satisfied. My mother asked me how much I twent, I said 2,000 yuan, which frightened her old man, and hurriedly asked how much this hotel cost a night, and I vaguely said five or six hundred.

My mother seems to have been confused by the large amount of rupiah, as soon as she pays the money, she will pay tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands, buy a bottle of water for thousands, and the tip will be 2,000 yuan, so at first glance it sounds like five or six hundred is quite cheap.

I took a photo of the bottle of mineral water for more than 4,000 rupiah and posted it on Moments, saying that I had found a sense of a local tyrant who spent a lot of money. After a while, Lin Jiangnan left a message below: "No matter how big the amount is, it's just addition and subtraction, don't be nervous." ”

I held my phone and smiled, and my mother's head came over, "What are you looking at?" ”

I reflexively pressed off the screen and buckled the phone on the sofa, "I didn't see anything, I sent a circle of friends, see the reply." ”

My mom looked at me suspiciously, "What are you nervous about?" ”

"I'm not nervous, I'm just done reading it."

My mom looked at me, and I looked back at her as calmly as I could, until my dad jumped into the pool with a thud, breaking the undercurrent between our mother and daughter, and my mom let me go and went to squeeze my dad's squeeze. I breathe a sigh of relief, but seriously, what am I nervous about?

After a night's rest, I contacted the front desk of the hotel early the next morning to charter a seven-day sightseeing trip to Bali with my parents.

Liang Jingru has a famous happy breakup song, which has a famous lyric 'If you don't want to get tired of winter, fly to a tropical island to swim', I once felt that this sentence was too ritualistic and quite pretentious, but when I really flew from the dreary and cold city to the light and gorgeous tropics with some frustration, I found that the mood change brought about by this climate, scenery and cultural differences was not hypocritical, it was true.

I'm very happy, and of course, it would be better if my parents could not quarrel.
