The ancestral house of the Wen family is a set of courtyard houses renovated during the Republic of China, with blue bricks and black tiles, and antique. After the reform and opening up, there were many people who came to consult and want to buy.

Back at the door of the house, Wen Qi took advantage of the light of the street lamp to look at the two stone lions at the door, and the stone ball in the lion's mouth on the left was picked off by him when he was a child, and he was beaten for it.

stepped forward and pushed open the creaking wooden door, "Mom, I'm back." The mother in the inner room heard the noise, tied a bib and ran out, and said angrily: "Why did you come back now, it's almost 9 o'clock, call you and turn off the phone, almost didn't scare me to death, and you don't know about our family." ”

The mysterious disappearance of the family for many years makes the mother worry all day long. It was rumored everywhere outside that the Wen family was cursed. Otherwise, why are all blood relatives who disappear, and the spouses who marry and marry far away are fine.

The Wen family has really become a 'plague family', and the neighbors can't hide, for fear of being contaminated. Whether the mother believes it or not, the disappearance is a fact, and whether her son will become the next one is what she fears the most.

"Something happened to the plan at hand, Party A was in a hurry to pre-review, and a few colleagues just finished the first draft in the afternoon, and the busy mobile phone forgot to charge, and after eating, I had to go back to the unit to work overtime." Wen Qi hurriedly explained, taking his mother's hand and walking towards the back room. Coquettishly said: "Okay, okay, Mom, dissipate your anger, I'm not back, let's go, I'm going to faint from hunger." ”

The mother rolled her eyes helplessly, and didn't think much about her son's natural lies, "No, quit this job, you can't work overtime all night, you are young and can stand up now, and all the problems will come out in the future......"

"I know~~~ It's okay to eat first, the work is really unbearable, I'll change it."

"How? After making some money, the wings are starting to harden, and I think my mother is annoying? ”

Wen Qi really didn't have the slightest way to deal with his mother, nodded and flattered: "How dare you, what my mother taught me is that when the plan at hand is finished, I will immediately change jobs, do you think it's okay?" ”

"You kid knows to fool me all day long, let's go, the dishes are cold, help me go back to the pot to heat up."

On the dining table, Wen Qi swept a table full of dishes, he was really hungry, and he hadn't eaten a bite of hot food in the last day of the other world until now.

The mother ate a few bites casually, put down the chopsticks, looked at her son's ugly eating appearance, and smiled: "Xiaoqi, how is the girlfriend you talked about in college?" When will I bring it back to my mother? ”

Poof~~~cough~, Wen Qi squirted a big mouthful of rice, choking tears came out, he couldn't have imagined that his mother would ask this.

Drink two sips of water, pat his chest and entangled: "I broke up early, my personality is not suitable, Mom, my girlfriend is not in a hurry, your son is not ugly, I am ready to stabilize my career in the past few years." ”

"What's not in a hurry, you're 25 years old, the son of my mother's colleague, and the children are all in kindergarten."

"Gotta get it, next year, next year at the latest, I'll bring you back." After Wen Qi finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and burped: "Mom, I'm full, and I'll leave first if the unit still has something to do, and I won't be back this week." ”

"Go ahead, you transfer so much money to your mother every month, is the money on you still enough......", without waiting for his mother to continue, Wen Qi hurriedly got up and said: "Hey, Mom, the project commission I took is not a dead salary." Don't worry, enough flowers. With that, he got up and hurried away.

Looking at her son's distant back, the mother stood at the door, her expression sad and her eyes red.

Since her husband disappeared three years ago, Onki's grandmother couldn't take the blow and couldn't afford to get sick.

It was from that time that the son became more and more strange, February 22, March 23, including today, every year 13 months apart, Wen Qi's temperament and skin color suddenly changed greatly.

The things at home are too weird, she knows that her son has something to hide from her, but she doesn't dare to ask too much.

Wen Qi must have something unspeakable, otherwise he wouldn't hide it from her.

The mother's surname is Yun Mingjuan, she is tall, with willow eyebrows and melon seed face, and her appearance is exquisite, and it is said that her son looks like her mother and her daughter follows her father. If Wen Qi hadn't inherited most of his mother's traits, he might not be what he is now.

She was born in a working family, the eldest in the family, and there are two eldest brothers above, and her personality is relatively weak. After his father disappeared, his mother's two eldest brothers, Wen Qi's uncle, wanted his sister to move back to his hometown in Y Province to settle down.

Yun Juan considered that her son worked in S City, but he refused to go back together, and finally chose to stay after thinking twice.

This mother and son, one is desperately trying to hide it, and the other is trying to pretend to be normal.

……

When I returned to the villa, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and Wen Qi didn't take off his clothes, so he fell asleep tired.

At noon the next day, Wen Qi was woken up by the vibration of his mobile phone, and answered sleepily: "Hey~ Mom, what's the matter." ”

As soon as Yun Juan heard the voice, she knew that her son hadn't gotten up yet, and advised: "Last night, I stayed up all night, remember to take a few more capsules of vitamin C, will I be free after work tomorrow, my mother has a little sister, her daughter just graduated from college this year, why don't you make an appointment to come out and meet." ”

The design industry is a high-night industry, and the commuting time is not fixed, otherwise Wen Qi would not have chosen it as an excuse.

Turning over, Wen Qi closed his eyes and replied lazily: "Mom~ I said it, I'll bring you back next year, how can you be so anxious, I just said it last night, and I can't wait to get married the next day, and I will make an appointment with an important customer to talk about the contract tomorrow." ”

"You, that's hanging, go back to sleep, and remember to eat when you get up later."

"Got it, 88" Wen Qi just put down his phone, and the call came again. He thought his mother was calling again, but he reluctantly answered: "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

"Yo~ good son, you admit that you are wrong, it's daddy me." The voice of Hong Feng, a college sworn friend, came from the phone. couldn't help but let Wen Qi open his eyes, move his phone, and take a closer look at the caller ID.

"Get out of your MD~ If you have a fart, let it go, grandpa, I'm sleepy." The two pinched each other directly on the phone, and they didn't know that they thought they were arguing.

In the end, Hong Feng relented and went straight to the point: "Okay, okay, you are the eldest brother, don't mess around with you, at the end of next month, the old class said that everyone will get together in H City, and a few people who can play together will be you, don't let me ask you if you are going?" I haven't seen each other for a long time, don't worry, I'll cover all expenses, who made me the prince of H City......" Hong Feng said and began to brag nonsense.

Wen Qi didn't bother to bite him, and asked, "In addition to the old class, what are the others?" There are so many people that I don't go. ”

"There are only four of us in the dormitory, who else do you want? Uh-huh~~~ That's the one. "I can think of it through the phone, Hong Feng's expression must be very cheap at this moment.

"It's a pity that you don't be a woman as a sand sculpture, it's okay to be sassy."

", I'm talking about human words, if I'm a woman, I'll make my brothers feel good."

Wenqi "......".

"It's okay, a man can make us cool as well."

Hong Feng "......".

"Xiaoqi, I haven't seen you for three years, you have changed, and you are no longer the dwarf poor who liked to pick your nose in class and see that your sister likes to dig eggs."

"Get out~ die, you."

"Hahaha, I'll send you WeChat after the address and time are booked, and then you take a photo of your ID card and send it to me, and I'll book a plane ticket and hotel for you."

"I'm going to charter a plane and stay in a seven-star hotel, that's all."

"Fuck off, Lao Tzu is hundreds of millions of dollars a month, and you can't let your kid be so bad, at most first-class plus a five-star hotel." Hong Feng's family is well-off, his parents run a multinational trading company, the standard rich second generation, he spends money lavishly when he goes to school, and he never controls himself. People are good, but they love to brag about B.

"Don't take it seriously, just feel free." There must be a limit to pit friends, Wen Qi joked in front of him.

Ending the call, Hong Feng, who was far away in H City, crossed his legs, drank coffee, turned his head to the young man next to him, and said: "Old class, Xiaoqi was deceived by me, isn't it a bit unauthentic for us to do this, in case...... Don't end up stiffening our brothers. ”

The old class's real name is Tang Siming, and he is the eldest of their roommates and the class leader. He and Hong Feng are both natives of H City, and they usually drink, club, and play games together when they have nothing to do.

"What are you afraid of, isn't it a class reunion?" The old class is 26 years old, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks polite. The people who initiated the formation of the game were not the two of them.

"But... Who in the class doesn't know about Xiaoqi and Guan Ruyue, this time it's her group again, I'm afraid of a moth. "There are four people in the bedroom, Hong Feng and Wen Qi have the best time, and they regret it a little after hanging up the phone, and they feel guilty for betraying their brothers.

"Isn't there a few of us here, don't you want to see Guan Ruyue's purpose?"

"Okay~ I've lied to you, it's useless to say more, I asked a few friends to play ball in the afternoon, do you want to go." The two sat in the café for almost two hours, just for the phone call in front of them.

"No, Xiaohui said that she was going shopping in the afternoon, and I would drive to pick her up later." The old class glanced at his watch, "It's almost time, let's go." ”

"Damn, it's great to have a girlfriend, follow me, I don't drive."

"Okay, then I'll pay first." Both of them have a good family background, otherwise they wouldn't be so leisurely on weekdays.

……

Woken up by two phone calls in a row, Wen Qi was completely sleepy, first charged the mobile phone, took a shower and changed into casual clothes, found some frozen meat and shrimp in the refrigerator, fried three dishes casually, and went out with noodles and tableware in the dishwasher.

Take a taxi and come to the 6th floor of Xingheng Building, Lin Lan Print Advertising is a small unlisted design company, and its main business source is to take on outsourcing projects that large design companies have no time to do.

Carrying two bags of gift boxes, Wen Qi saw Sun Tongtong at the front desk pursing his lips and wiping lipstick there as soon as he entered the door. Looking left and right in front of the small mirror, it stinks and doesn't work.

As soon as he saw Wen Qi, Sun Tongtong hurriedly got up and said happily: "Brother Qi, you have come back from traveling, didn't you say that you will go for two months." "Wen Qi is a popular celebrity in this company, young and golden, easy-going, many girls in the unit have a lot of ideas about him, but unfortunately no one has succeeded so far. It is always said that the more you can't get it, the more fascinated you are, so Wen Qi got two mobile phones.

"I came back early without anything fun, and I brought you a small gift, just right, you go and send it for me."

"Brother Qi is the best and most handsome in the whole company." Sun Tongtong snorted, his eyebrows and eyes were like silk. In his hand, he unceremoniously took two large bags of gifts and picked the most beautifully packaged.

"Tongtong, are you uncomfortable with false eyelashes, your eyes are blinking hard, oh, by the way, I ordered an iced latte on the way here, and it should be time for the meeting, you can help me collect it, everyone has a share." Wen Qi smiled and wondered, pretending not to see her hints, and walked to the office with his crotch bag.

Sun Tongtong secretly cursed in his heart for the head of the wooden fish, and took out the mirror again in discouragement, "Today's makeup is very good." ”
