Chapter Eighty-Eight: Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner
Half a second before I was about to suffocate, I pulled my head out of the basin, and the violent breathing from the excessive lack of oxygen made me cough wildly.
I coughed violently, and when I finally calmed down and dared to look at myself in the mirror, I realized that at some point, Wang Yang was already standing behind me.
I turned around and grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm smiling at you, I just had a prostate cramp and it hurts..."
"Let's go, they should be in a hurry." Wang Yang interrupted my nonsense in a calm tone, and at the same time handed me a pack of tissues.
I took the tissue a little embarrassed, I don't know why, I always felt that as long as I lied in front of this girl, she would see through it, but she just saw through it and didn't bother to expose me.
Fortunately, she didn't ask too much, so I continued to make up excuses.
Leaving the bathroom with Wang Yang, Brother Chao and a few people were chatting in a circle outside, seemingly waiting for me.
As soon as I approached Chen Haobei, I shouted and said, "Oh Qian'er, constipation or diarrhea?" Can't eat at night? I said disdainfully: "I can eat even if my intestines are rotten, and dinner is not your invitation, look at your stinginess." ”
Chen Haobei laughed twice, and Brother Chao asked me meaningfully: "It's okay, right?" I said, "What's the deal with going to the toilet?" Let's go. ”
Brother Chao chased: "It's okay, why are your eyes red?" I said, "When I peeped into the women's bathroom, I was countered with evil magic, and I became red." ”
Brother Chao rolled his eyes and ignored me, said hello, and everyone continued on the road.
Alas, Brother Chao, if I lied to you, that's probably the only thing, right?
Talking and laughing with everyone, the mood gradually calmed down a lot, until the restaurant private room finished ordering and waiting, I picked up my head and asked, "Hey, you haven't called home yet, have you?" If you don't fight again, it'll be too late. ”
Mei Tian'er said grinningly: "I took the time to fight in the afternoon, so I don't need to fight anymore." Mei Di'er was a little puzzled and rushed to Mei Tian'er, "Ah? After a while, Mei Tian'er took a sip of water and continued: "Sister, then you don't have to fight, I'm done with what I have to say." ”
Mei Di'er let out a slightly lost "oh", but didn't say anything more.
It seems that the sisters also seem to have secrets, and I know how annoying it is to be asked about family matters, so I didn't ask anything.
Xiao Xi asked Wang Yang at this time: "Wang Yang, have you called home?" I haven't seen you fight today. Wang Yang smiled and said, "My family doesn't like to talk on the phone, I sent them a text message, it's fine." ”
Chen Haobei interjected: "Just send a text message?" You're too money-saving guy. ”
I asked Chen Haobei: "Brother Hao, what about you?" Did you hit the family? Chen Haobei waved his hand and said: "I don't have to fight, my family is dead, just catch Ming'er and burn some newspapers for them." ”
Mei Tian'er slapped Chen Haobei on the back of the head and scolded: "Is there anything special about your family like this?" Your family is dead, where did you come from? Why are you still alive? Why did God leave you behind so unsightly? What are you talking about in the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”
Chen Haobei touched the back of his head, bared his teeth and said, "Emma, you are too ruthless this time, you want to cripple me and let your sister take care of me for the rest of my life, right?" ”
Hearing Chen Haobei's words, Mei Tianer immediately wanted to shoot again, Chen Haobei said while hiding: "Don't fight, don't fight, what I said is true, my family is really my own..."
Mei Di'er suddenly stopped and asked cautiously, "Huh? Haobei you... Is it an orphan? ”
Chen Hao, who had escaped Mei Tian'er's onslaught, said with a grin: "Sort of, it's not as good as an orphan." ”
While talking, the waiter knocked on the door and came in and began to serve the food one after another, except for Chen Haobei, who was arguing for people to serve wine first, we didn't speak.
Until all the dishes were served, Xiaoxi and the Mei sisters took pictures of a table of dishes with their mobile phones, and the rest of us and Wang Yanggan, who only asked for a bowl of porridge for themselves, stared at them and waited for them to take pictures.
Finally, the three of them put away their mobile phones, Mei Tian'er picked up the wine glass in front of her and stood up and said, "Come brothers and sisters, as far as I know, I'm the oldest among us, right?" Then Sister Tian'er will start today, it is really a blessing to be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, I hope we can spend it together today next year! ”
Chen Haobei screamed and applauded, and then raised his wine glass and said, "My sister Tian'er is right, I hope you can drink my wedding wine next year, right?" ”
Mei Di'er smiled and didn't speak, but she also stood up with a wine glass.
Brother Chao and I also got up, and I said to Chen Haobei: "It's hard to say that you like wine, but our super brother and Xiaoxi's estimation is fast, right, Xiaoxi?" Xiao Xi smirked and got up, and also picked up the beer in front of her.
Wang Yang, who stood up at the end, only had a glass of boiled water in his hand, and Mei Tian'er was immediately unhappy, complaining: "Sister, what are you doing here?" We are all our own people, and we are afraid that someone will dare to bully you if you drink too much? Swap it out, swap it out for beer. ”
Chen Haobei immediately followed suit, Mei Di'er pulled Mei Tian'er, Mei Tian'er ignored it, Wang Yang's expression was a little embarrassed, I hurriedly explained: "Sister Tian'er, my sister really doesn't drink, I'll drink it for her, I'll definitely accompany you today anyway." ”
Mei Tian'er said reluctantly: "Why can't you drink yet?" I remember that this girl drank a lot at the last community party, so what, a cup of head office, right? It's the first time we spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, which is of great significance, so don't you drink too much, right? ”
Mei Di'er dragged Mei Tian'er, who was a little difficult for a strong man, and Chen Haobei continued to coax.
Wang Yang, who was a little unbearable, smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, then one thousand, you can help me open a bottle of room temperature." I whispered, "Are you sure?" No, don't force it. ”
Mei Tian'er urged again: "A thousand, why are you so inked?" The girls didn't say anything, if you want to open it, you can open it, why does the girl still drink room temperature? Oh, got it, the big aunt is here, right? ”
Wang Yang blushed a little at the moment when Mei Tian'er said it, and Mei Di'er said, "Sister, what are you talking nonsense about eating here?" ”
Mei Tian'er covered her mouth and didn't say anything more, and after I confirmed with Wang Yang again, I opened a bottle of room temperature beer and poured her a glass.
Everyone raised their glasses together, collectively shouted "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival", and each raised their heads and drank all the wine in their cups.
Mei Tian'er is very good at this, saying that only one cup at the same end is a cup, and she has no intention of toasting together at all.
Then they were eating vegetables while finding fault and drinking with others, with Mei Tianer and Chen Haobei two living treasures, the atmosphere at the table was not awkward or dull at all, and they all drank a lot after a while.
While eating and drinking, Brother Chao suddenly took out his mobile phone and said loudly: "Oops! Brothers and sisters, I'll watch with my family, and you can also say hello to my family? ”
Everyone naturally agreed in unison, Chen Haobei was even more like an occupational disease, and asked us to rehearse and rehearse first, everyone was in a good mood, so they cooperated with him to rehearse for a while, and after confirming that he could perform, Brother Chao sent him a WeChat video at home.
As soon as the video was connected, I saw Brother Chao's father, this old man I had seen a photo on Brother Chao's mobile phone before, so I recognized it at a glance, and the first sentence after Brother Chao was connected: "Dad, where is my mother?" ”
The old man smiled and adjusted the angle of the mobile phone, and a kind woman appeared.
Chen Haobei urged in a low voice: "Brother Chao, let's come." ”
Brother Chao smiled and said into the phone: "Parents, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll be with my friends, let them say hello to the two of you." ”
After speaking, Brother Chao adjusted the angle of his mobile phone and packed us all in, Chen Haobei whispered: "One, two, three!" A room full of us immediately shouted in unison: "Uncle and aunt, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health, all the best!" ”
In the mobile phone, Brother Chao's mother smiled from ear to ear, nodded busily and said, "Okay, it's all good, it's all good..."
We laughed for a while, Chen Haobei and Mei Tianer even raised their glasses to have a toast with the old man on the mobile phone, but I didn't expect the old man to be very cooperative and also picked up a glass, and I couldn't tell whether the cup was filled with liquor or water.
After a toast, the old man smiled meaningfully and asked, "Chao, the girl next to you is the Xiaoxi you said, right?" ”
Xiao Xi's face was almost the same as the Spring Festival couplet, and she hurriedly agreed and said, "Well, it's me, uncle... Hello Auntie. ”
The old man smiled and said: "The girl is so handsome, it is a blessing for us Xiaochao to be able to be with our Xiaochao, then, Xiaochao, I will send you a red envelope in a while, you send it to Xiaoxi, the first time you meet, it is a meeting gift..."
I coaxed everyone happily, Xiaoxi excused herself for a while, but Brother Chao agreed without mind, watching their family chat, although it was through the mobile phone, but they could feel a strong family affection.
Alas... I felt uncomfortable for a while, and I hurriedly raised my voice and laughed with them, making a fuss...
After chatting a few more words, Brother Chao hung up the video, and then within a minute, Brother Chao said to the phone in surprise: "Huh, a thousand? I asked, "Huh?" What are you calling me for? ”
Brother Chao hurriedly explained: "It's not to call you, you look at you with this unlucky name, I mean my dad gave it to me... No, the red envelope for Xiaoxi, a thousand yuan, the old man was generous enough, he didn't give so much when he first saw me. ”
Mei Tianer laughed and said, "Haha, how old were you when your dad first met you?" Brother Chao pretended to be melancholy and said, "Alas, at that time, my buddy was still liquid, so the old man gave me a piece of toilet paper and sent me away." ”
Brother Chao's words caused a burst of laughter, and after laughing, everyone continued to eat, drink, and chat...
It wasn't until the waiter came in for the third time and asked us what else we needed that we were willing to face the reality that it was not too early.
It just so happens that everyone is almost drunk, so let's withdraw after discussion.
Wang Yang's bottle of beer hasn't moved since she took a sip, and I was worried that Mei Tian'er would continue to persuade her to drink when she saw it, so I secretly drank it myself. On top of that, we drank a lot and when we checked out, we found out more than we all expected.
The account was settled by the three of us, and the girls didn't spend money, which was agreed in advance, so no one grabbed or ran.
After settling the bill and leaving the hotel, I took out my mobile phone and opened WeChat, in addition to a bunch of blessing text messages that were sent in a group at a glance, there was also a message sent by Li Xiaomeng about two or three hours ago: Brother Qian, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, is Brother Hao with you? How are you spending tonight?
Hehe, it seems that Chen Haobei has really not been in contact with Li Xiaomeng, otherwise with Li Xiaomeng's style and her current understanding of Chen Haobei, she will definitely contact Chen Haobei directly.
I didn't reply to anyone's messages, there was no need to reply to group messages, and there was no need to reply to Li Xiaomeng's messages, especially after knowing that the pig may have died because of her, I don't want to have anything to do with people like her.
Everyone walked around for a while, sobering up and admiring the moon.
Today's moon is round and bright, but it doesn't seem to be a good weather, and it will be obscured by clouds from time to time.
At a suitable intersection, we said goodbye to the three of them and went back to their respective homes.
After Brother Chao and the others left, Chen Haobei and the Mei sisters and I also got into a car, but after we said the destination, the taxi driver asked strangely: "Where do you live?" So how did you guys come out today? ”
I didn't understand it, and I didn't know how to answer, when the driver suddenly said to himself, "Oh, I see, you're all tenants, right?" ”
Chen Haobei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked rhetorically: "Yes, how do you know?" ”
The driver started the car and said: "Ah, those people in that area are only the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people in the old coastal city know that when they lived in bungalows, they couldn't sell mooncakes there." ”
I was a little curious and asked, "Huh?" Is it your local custom? They seem to be natives of Marina City, too. ”
The driver said: "We don't know why, the entire coastal city is close to tens of millions of people, everyone else has the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one worries about such a hundred or so people, I also happened to catch up with you today to remember this, the people there, it seems... It seems that in addition to the New Year, there are usually no festivals, probably because the older generation there is too poor to afford it, and it gradually becomes a habit, right? ”
