The willows are cloudy and drizzly and sunny, the remnants of the flowers fall to see the warbler, the people are idle and the osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty.

The car drove into the hometown town, it was the light rain, the night was hazy, the spacious road, the traffic shuttled, the whistle was noisy, the green belt on both sides of the street, under the washing of the rain and the illumination of the street lamps, turned into an unusual scene, the two complemented each other, the evening breeze blew slightly, and the straight larch also swayed, adding a touch of indifferent charm to the whole night.

"My dear, my first time at your house, I can't go empty-handed, right?"

Wang Ling looked at the mirror again and made up for the light makeup.

"It's okay, you're a girl, different from me."

I lowered the window, and a cool stream of air slipped into the car, mixed with a few drops of rain.

Wang Ling sneezed and said: "What's the difference, after all, it's the first time we met, hey, it's all my carelessness, I knew that I should have prepared in advance at home." ”

"It's okay, don't make a fuss."

I glanced at her and rolled up the window again.

"Then what's the matter, one yard to one yard, you find a gift shop, I'm going to buy something."

"Not really."

"Park, park."

She grabbed my arm and pointed to a gift shop not far ahead.

I couldn't resist her, so I had to pull over, take a coat in the back seat, put it on her and said, "The temperature difference between morning and evening here is very large, wear it, beware of catching a cold." ”

"I've got a cold, ahem..."

She rubbed the tip of her red nose and took my hand and walked into the gift shop.

This store is one of the best in our town, near the entrance of the store, there is a light blue bar, a few precious fur specimens hanging on the wall, and a variety of handicrafts are placed on the inside of the counter, which is divided into a nutrition area and a handicraft area.

A woman in her mid-forties greeted her and said, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Wang Ling glanced at her and said, "What are the valuable gifts?" ”

"Beauty, our store deals in all kinds of souvenirs, handicrafts, foreign snacks, and high-end gifts, etc., who do you want to give to?"

The woman's face was full of smiles.

Wang Ling didn't make a sound, just walked to the nutrition exhibition area and silently selected.

"Beauty, if you want to visit the elderly, I recommend honey and olive oil, both of which are high-quality goods, and olive oil is recognized as liquid gold in the West, with high nutritional value, like rhinoceros olive oil, which is a rare healthy product, and beautifully packaged, it is a good product imported from Spain."

She stood beside Wang Ling and recommended impatiently.

I whispered, "What's the capacity?" ”

"There are 500ml, 750ml, 1L, how many do you need?"

"How do you sell 1L?"

Wang Ling tightened her coat, her eyes still focused on all kinds of gifts.

The woman smiled wryly and said, "The 1L one sells for 3,000 yuan a box, and it is packed with two pieces." ”

I frowned, and just as I was about to bargain, Wang Ling waved her hand and said, "Come on 10 boxes, oh, by the way, what high-grade honey do you have here?" ”

The woman was so happy that she took Wang Ling's hand, took a few steps forward and said: "Avocado honey is a major feature of our store, and it is also a signature product, this honey comes from California onions, the color is darker, but the taste is excellent, the nutritional value is rich, and it is very popular with domestic consumers." ”

She took out a box from the counter, unscrewed the lid, scooped out a little with a small spoon, handed it to Wang Ling and said, "You might as well try it, don't look at the dark color, but the taste is very good." ”

Wang Ling took a sip, nodded with satisfaction and said, "How many bottles of this honey is in a box, what is the price?" ”

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "There are four bottles in a box, but the cost of transporting this honey to China is extremely high, and it is worth a lot of money, so for the sake of you buying ten boxes of olive oil in one go, I will sell you 4,000 yuan a box." ”

"What? It's too expensive, this honey is also available in China, don't want it. ”

I grabbed Wang Ling's hand and walked out of the store.

Wang Ling was a little stunned: "Hey, this is not expensive, buy a few boxes." ”

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly stopped me and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

"Young man, there is indeed this kind of honey in China, but most of it is imitated, and the honey is not pure, the price is low, and vendors can be seen everywhere, I have formal procedures and import and export certificates, if you want to buy genuine products, the price will naturally be high."

She tightened the lid and placed the bottle on the counter again.

"But it's a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

I frowned and shoved Wang Ling's little hand into my pocket. 、

She pondered for a moment and said, "Well, if you buy it sincerely, it will be 3500 per box, and it can't be lower." ”

"Okay, let's take 10 boxes, let's wrap them."

Wang Ling secretly pinched me.

"Hey, why did you buy so much?"

I complained as I drove.

"It's me who came in too much hurry, the gift is small, but the mind is still there, and the next time I visit, I asked someone to get something good abroad."

She brushed her hair, pulled her lipstick out of her bag, and carefully applied it to her thin lips.

The car stopped downstairs, I took out the box in the trunk, Wang Ling carried one in one hand, and the bag on her shoulder, looking comfortable and soothing.

I climbed the stairs with great difficulty, and by the time I got to the door, my forehead was already covered with sweat.

My mother opened the door, she wore an apron, her hair was tied behind her head, she hadn't seen her for a long time, she had lost a lot of weight, and after helping me stack boxes of gifts aside, I saw Wang Ling behind me.

"Hello Auntie, my name is Wang Ling."

Wang Ling handed the two boxes of gifts in her hand to her mother, and two sweet smiles bloomed on her face.

"Come in, come in."

Mom seemed a little nervous, she rubbed her hands on her apron and reached out to take the gift box.

"Why are you buying so many things, hey."

She complained in a low voice and let Wang Ling into the living room.

Dad came over from the kitchen and said with a slight smile, "I'm back." ”

"Hello uncle."

Wang Ling's small mouth was like honey, and the hearts of those who listened were sweet.

Dad smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, wait a while, the meal will be ready soon." ”

"Thank you, uncle, I'm just hungry."

Wang Ling sat on the sofa and looked around at the layout of the house.

My mother brought me a glass of water and said, "You're tired after running so far, aren't you?" ”

"Auntie, I'm not tired."

Wang Ling took the water cup and held it in the palm of her hand.

My mother nodded and said, "Eat more later, don't come here to see outside." ”

After she finished speaking, she went into the kitchen and helped her father with the food.

It feels good to be home, but it doesn't dilute the worries in my heart, as Wang Ling said, can my parents accept her, Xue Xinyan is already a deep-rooted existence in the hearts of their two elders, if I insist on opposing it, what should I do?

But it turned out that I thought too much, and the dinner was spent in an atmosphere of laughter and laughter, during which there was no quarrel, no disdain, no inquiry, just a common courtesy, shh

"Auntie, your skin is very dry, I have a lot of hydrating masks there, you can apply them to see, the effect is very good."

Wang Ling was washing dishes in the kitchen with her mother, and they talked about skin care.

"Hey, people are getting old, and their skin has turned into dry bark, and there is nothing to take care of."

The old mother said with a sigh of sorrow, glancing at Wang Ling from time to time.

"Auntie, your current age belongs to the golden age, don't talk about being old or not, as long as you have a temperament, you can show your style at any age."

Although the mother showed a pampered and unfazed look on the surface, her heart was already happy.

My dad and I nestled on the sofa and eavesdropped, grinning and smirking from time to time, whispering from time to time, and my dad held a cigarette and asked me in a low voice, "Did you really break up with Xinyan?" ”

I put away my smile and nodded silently.

"Divide it, let me say, this girl is also very good, you see, she will help wash the dishes."

Dad glanced at the kitchen, his expression unusually soothing.

I muttered to myself, she washes the dishes? That's a rare thing in a century, cumin grains can be bought into lollipops, tofu cubes can be chopped into minced pieces, and dish soap is never needed to wash dishes.

I smiled helplessly and said, "I have nothing to do with Xinyan, and I have a common language with her." ”

"Don't be too picky, when are you going to get married?"

I sighed, "I'll prepare for the wedding when I go back." ”

After glancing at the kitchen, I looked at my father again and said, "She is pregnant now, and her son is married, and you and your mother should also prepare in advance, and we will go over there in a few days to meet her father." ”

Dad nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, what does her father do?" ”

"In business, after arranging a meeting between the parents, we will get married."

"Do you have a house over there?"

Dad actually picked the key question.

"I'm looking for it when I go back, if there is no suitable one, I'll buy one first, and I still have the money for a down payment."

"Is your clothing store still open?"

Dad was interested, and he had to get to the bottom of it.

I leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette and said, "After breaking up with Xinyan, that store was taken back by Du Chenyu, and now I have rented another store, and the business is okay." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Dad finally died down and stopped asking.

My mother cleaned up the kitchen, washed another plate of fruit, brought it to the coffee table and said, "Let's eat some fruit." ”

I picked up the oranges, broke half of them and handed them to Wang Ling, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat it, my stomach is bulging." ”

Dad seemed to think of something, he sat up and said, "Xiao Tao, have you heard anything about Xiao Qing?" ”

"Xiao Qing? What's wrong? ”

I threw two oranges into my mouth and chewed them.

Dad coughed lightly: "She is on the local news, and she was sued in court for suspected misappropriation of customer property." ”

"There are a lot of people named Xiao Qing, how can you be sure it's her?"

I chuckled inwardly and raised my eyebrows unconsciously.

My mother said, "It's that friend of yours, who can't be mistaken, and they're all on TV." ”

"What? She wouldn't do such a thing. ”

Wang Ling and I glanced at each other and were shocked by the sudden explosive news.

"How not?"

Dad glanced at me and said lightly: "There is a knife on the head of the word Li, and now people are crazy masters who see money, and they can't withstand the temptation of interests, and it is inevitable to do wrong things." ”

"So, what happened to her accounting firm?"

I asked non-really, I never thought that Xiao Qing would do such a stupid thing.

"Of course, it was sealed, and a large amount of liquidated damages were compensated."

I hurriedly stood up, walked to the bedroom, found Xiao Qing's phone number, and dialed it directly.

"Hello, the phone you are calling is turned off."

"How so?"

I muttered softly, and Wang Ling walked in softly and said, "Have you got in touch?" ”

I shook my head, a grimace on my face.

She took my hand and sat on the bed: "Don't worry, you go to her company tomorrow, if you can't find it, go to her house and ask to see if there is anything you can help." ”

I took her in my arms and said with a smile, "I know, I'm more and more like a good wife and mother." ”

She twisted in my arms: "She's your friend, and after we get married, I can't avoid contact with her." ”

"It's still thoughtful."

With that, I lowered my head and kissed her.

My mother knocked on the bedroom door and said, "I got two pillows for you both." ”

I hurriedly stood up and tidied up my clothes, Wang Ling glared at me and whispered, "You are really crazy." ”

When night falls, it drowns out the hustle and bustle of the city, hypnotizes the rushing crowd, the evening breeze blows through the treetops, making a strange whining sound, the sinking clouds on the horizon flutter with the moonlight, and the clear beams of light, surrounded by the stars, weave into a hazy picture, flowing into the distance, flowing to eternity.
