I answered the phone.

"Hey, Sun Kai."

"When are you coming back?"

Sun Kai's hearty voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Well, I'm going to buy a ticket today and go back tomorrow, and I'll probably be there in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

Qin Xiaolan was comforting Zhang Xueyao, and when I saw her crying and her cheeks were flowering, I was a little distressed.

"Oh, I'm back, I'm just leaving you."

"You're pretty fast."

"Of course, Xiao Qing's marriage is a big deal, I can't be ambiguous."

Zhang Xueyao still couldn't stop crying, Qin Xiaolan turned to look at me, motioned me to hang up the phone quickly, and comforted her.

Sun Kai saw that I didn't squeak, and he added with some shame: "I'm sorry, Xiaotao, I didn't have fun in Qingdao last time, and I must have a good time when I come back this time." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Come on, there's nothing to do in our hometown, as long as Xiao Qing's wedding goes smoothly." ”

"Well, do you still have the heart, do you bring Xinyan back with you this time?"

"She's going abroad, and I'll go back by myself this time."

Zhang Xueyao squatted on the ground, covering her face with her hands, looking very embarrassed.

"That, Xiao Kai, I won't tell you yet, I also have some problems, I'll drink with you when I go back."

I hung up the phone in a hurry and walked over to Zhang Xueyao.

"Xue Yao, what are you crying about, I'd rather lack than indiscriminate, I don't think that kid is worth crying about."

I crouched down and comforted her softly.

"Yes, Sister Xue Yao, I broke up with a scumbag a few days ago, just like you, and then I thought about it, I was really naïve, I wanted to open up, it's not a big deal, you look so beautiful, the boys who like you have to line up, why bother shedding tears for a scumbag."

Qin Xiaolan said endlessly, I glanced at her, almost laughed, and called me a few days ago to cry and cry, telling me about my sad lovelorn journey, and now that I have enlightened others.

Qin Xiaolan saw me looking at her with contempt on her face, she glared at me and made a gesture to wipe her neck.

Qin Xiaolan handed her two facial tissues, she wiped her red eyes, slowly stood up, and whispered, "I want to drink." ”

"Huh?"

Qin Xiaolan and I glanced at each other, drinking in broad daylight is not good, but in order to take care of her mood, let's go with her.

I glanced at the time, and at half past three in the afternoon, I stopped a taxi on the side of the road, turned around and said to Zhang Xueyao, "Go to my place to drink, and cook a few good dishes for the two of you." ”

Qin Xiaolan helped Zhang Xueyao into the car, and said with disdain: "Can you eat the dishes you cook?" ”

"You'll know if you taste it, get in the car."

I sat in the co-pilot, turned my head and looked at Zhang Xueyao, her mood had stabilized and she stopped crying, but her beautiful eyes were already red and swollen from crying, her expression was depressed, her expression was gloomy, and she was a little sad and pitiful in the back seat.

"Master, go to the vegetable market."

The taxi roared and headed for the market.

I bought a pound of scallop meat, half a pound of green peppers, half a pound of red peppers, five hairy crabs, two onions, half a pound of winter bamboo shoots and red ginseng, and bought a small bag of pepper, a roast chicken, two bags of phoenix feet, four bottles of cocktails, and a pile of beer.

Walking from the vegetable market to the basement, it took about ten minutes to walk, and back to the courtyard, Zhang Xueyao and Qin Xiaolan sat on the bench, I washed my hands by the pool, and then began to prepare snacks.

"Hey, what are you going to do, do you need help?"

Qin Xiaolan stood beside me, looking at me with a new face.

"Oh, then soak the scallops in water."

I coated the cut hairy crab in flour and prepared it for frying.

Zhang Xueyao sat on the chair, her expression was wooden, her eyes were in a daze, it seemed that this breakup, the boy hit her really hard.

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan."

I screamed softly.

Qin Xiaolan poured a bag of scallop meat into the basin and took half a basin of water by the pool.

"What's wrong?"

She placed the basin on the board and looked at me with a puzzled face.

"You go and comfort her, don't be busy with me."

I pouted in the direction of Zhang Xueyao and motioned for her to come over.

"It's just you."

Qin Xiaolan glared at me and walked towards Zhang Xueyao.

I sighed deeply and continued to prepare my appetizer.

It took nearly an hour for me to make a spicy crab, a spicy scallop meat, roasted red cucumber with winter bamboo shoots, braised phoenix feet, put the cup on the table, Qin Xiaolan opened the cocktail, poured it full for Zhang Xueyao, I picked up a bottle of beer, washed my hands, and sat down at the table.

Zhang Xueyao took the cup and drank it all, Qin Xiaolan and I grew our mouths in surprise, although it was a cocktail, it was also a degree, I had never seen her drink like this.

"Xue Yao, drink slowly, I know that you are panicked, but you can't drink like this."

I sandwiched a piece of scallop meat for Zhang Xueyao and looked at her with a distressed expression.

Neither of them spoke, I had a beer bottle in my hand, and the atmosphere was very oppressive, and there was silence all around, except for the hanger by the pool, dripping and overflowing.

I took out my mobile phone and booked a ticket for tomorrow morning, which departs at 7:10 in the morning, and I must go out early this time.

I suddenly remembered Xue Xinyan, I don't know how she is over there, and the noble lady's body doesn't know how to recover, it stands to reason that Du Chenyu should return to China now, I shook my head lightly, and left these trivial matters behind.

When Brother Scumbag came back, I only drank two bottles of beer, Zhang Xueyao drank three bottles of cocktails, and Qin Xiaolan drank half a bottle.

"Yo, two eldest ladies, what kind of wind blew you two here?"

Brother Scumbag shouted loudly, and his hoarse voice resounded through the empty courtyard.

"Hmm, it's Lu Zhishen."

Qin Xiaolan looked at the scumbag brother with a wicked smile on his face.

"Okay, you said that Lu Zhishen is Lu Zhishen, Wang Tao, heat the food, I'll accompany the two beauties to drink some."

Brother Scumbag walked to the sink and washed his hands, I poured the cold vegetables into the pot and stir-fried again.

"Brother scumbag, I booked a ticket for tomorrow."

I picked up a bottle of beer for the scum and put it on the table.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Well, it's only more than ten hours on the road, so let's start early."

"Oh, okay, I'll take you to the train station tomorrow morning."

Brother scumbag dried his hands, sat on the chair, glanced at Zhang Xueyao, who was depressed, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, shrugging your face, who is messing with you?" ”

"Brother Lu Zhishen, she fell out of love and was slapped by her ex-boyfriend."

Qin Xiaolan touched the cup with Brother Scum, and looked at Brother Scumbag with big bright eyes.

"What, hit by an ex-boyfriend? Is this still not a man? ”

Brother Scumbag put down the wine bottle and said angrily.

"Oh, okay, it's all over, don't mention it."

I motioned to Brother Scumbag not to mention this matter, and held up the beer bottle and said loudly: "Come, everyone have a drink, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow, do I need to bring some souvenirs?" ”

"We don't have any specialties in our hometown, you just have to bring yourself back."

Qin Xiaolan took a sip of wine and teased me, making Zhang Xueyao laugh, and her stiff face relaxed a lot.

Brother Zai laughed, he said: "When I go back to my hometown next time, I will bring you some authentic bud rice, and come back and eat it steamed, roasted, and boiled, and the taste is very fragrant." ”

We talked and laughed and drank until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xueyao drank more and more emotionally, she got up and danced for everyone, Qin Xiaolan sang, the scumbag brother echoed, he can come to any song with two sentences, watching Zhang Xueyao's mood is stable and having fun, my tense nerves are also relaxed.

Zhang Xueyao came out this time, she didn't drive, it was late at night, everyone was very sleepy, I sent Zhang Xueyao home, and sent Qin Xiaolan to the hotel, after returning home, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and the scumbag brother was already snoring, and from time to time muttered a few unintelligible dream words.

After washing up and soaking my feet, I yawned and fell asleep in bed.

The next morning, Brother Scum woke me up.

"Hey, get up, get some food, aren't you in a hurry to catch the train?"

I opened my eyes, took my phone and looked at the time, it was half past five in the morning, and it was good to be in time.

I hurriedly got up, walked out of the basement, washed my face by the pool, and saw six buns on the table, I asked Brother Scum curiously.

"What's the stuffed bun?"

"You'll know if you taste it."

Brother Scumbag brought me a bowl of porridge and put it on the table.

"Eat quickly, I'll give it to you later."

"Don't need to be a scumbag, I'll just take a taxi, if you send me, it's too late to come back to the stall."

I took a bite of the bun, it was stuffed with kohlrabi pork, and it tasted delicious.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, eat quickly."

Brother Scumbag sat down, picked up an egg, dipped it in hot sauce, and ate it in a big gulp.

After breakfast, I went back to the basement to pack up, a total of few clothes, power bank, charger, ID card, light travel, after cleaning up, I looked at the time, half past six, now is not too early or late, just right.

I walked out of the yard with Brother Scum, flagged down a taxi on the street, and the car drove for about 20 minutes before we arrived at the train station.

It's still as noisy as ever, crowded with people.

I picked up my ticket at the ticket hall and went to the waiting room with my luggage.

"Pay attention to safety on the road and avoid trouble, you know?"

"Well, you go back, scumbag."

Brother Scumbag looked at me again, sighed softly, and turned to leave.

I was a little depressed, looking at the back of the scumbag brother who was far away, it reminded me of Xue Xinyan, the girl who was adrift in a foreign country, I don't know how she is doing now, I sent her a few WeChat messages and didn't reply, which made my worry even more serious.

The loudspeaker in the waiting room announced the train number and reminded passengers to check their tickets, so I retracted my thoughts and queued up to check my tickets.

After entering the carriage and finding his sleeper, he left his travel bag still on the luggage rack.

It was still the same lower bunk as always, and I leaned back on the bunk and watched thoughtfully at the two passing passengers.

A moment later, a couple came to the bunk, not Chinese, their complexion was a little dark, double eyelids, and thick eyebrows, they should be Indian.

The boy was tall, athletic, wearing a black tracksuit, white sneakers, short hair, and was no more than thirty years old.

The girl was on the thin side, with wavy curly hair draped behind her, a black and white striped top, light blue skinny jeans, and a pair of white casual shoes, and she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

The boy sat down on the bunk, took out his laptop from his backpack, placed it on the shelf, and stuffed it into a luggage rack.

The girl quietly climbed to the middle bunk, took out her mobile phone, plugged in her headphones, didn't know what program she was watching, and occasionally chuckled.

The boy put the laptop on the shelf, and when he turned it on, his hands tapped rapidly on the keyboard, frowning from time to time.

I yawned and rolled over, I slept too late last night, and at this time sleepiness hit, so let's make up for sleep first, only to feel a little drowsy in my brain, and I fell asleep in a daze.
