This box is very large, and the decoration style inside is completely farmhouse furnishings, simple and friendly.

Walking into the box, it is like coming to the northern farmhouse in the fifties and sixties of the last century, a few ears of corn are hanging on the wall, and the round wooden beams and square rafters can be seen on the ceiling, all of which are painted bright red, looking up, it is very festive.

The floor of the box is a gray cement floor, polished and shiny and reflective, there is an electric kang under the west wall, covered with a blue checkered kang mat, a wooden table is placed on the kang, and there are several peasant meals on the table, stewed in the Northeast, steamed sweet potatoes, eggplant sauce, stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut, and a few stir-fried dishes.

Today, the host entertains guests, in the order of the size of the official position, the eldest and the youngest, and the moral relationship in the family and family.

The dinner arranged by the noble lady this time can be described as painstaking, whether it is the choice of the banquet venue or the arrangement of seating, she has exhausted her thoughts.

Because my parents are from the north, the lady chose this very distinctive Northeast restaurant, because my parents came from afar, so the lady arranged their seats to sit facing east, Xue Xinyan and I sat facing west, and the lady sat facing north.

"Come and sit down."

The lady was holding an aluminum wine jug in her hand, the wine was already warm, and she was about to pour wine for her parents, when she saw me and Xue Xinyan pushing the door and walking in, she hurriedly asked us to sit down.

I took off my shoes and climbed onto the kang, and the smell of food was overflowing, wafting throughout the box.

On the south wall of the box, there are two two-person actors, and several musical instrument players, the lady waved her hand, and the tune representing the folk characteristics of the Northeast resounded in her ears, and a song "Little New Year's Greetings" was sung by the two actors, vividly.

"It's the New Year in the first month, and on the first day of the new year, the family reunion party, less New Year's greetings to the old, and no matter the man or woman, oh yo yo, ouch yo, all wear the new clothes."

When the wine was in full swing, the lady poured herself a glass of wine, raised her glass, sighed and said: "First of all, I want to thank the two for cultivating Xinyan, we met officially for the first time. ”

She drank the two taels of white wine in her hand, and after drinking, she wiped her lips with a tissue, filled the wine glass again, raised it again and said: "Wang Tao and Xinyan's affairs must have been known by the two elders, at first I mixed up a lot of things in the middle, because I hadn't seen through what kind of person Wang Tao was at that time, since this incident, I found that he is not the kind of person who is eager for quick success and short-sightedness, I blame him for it, from today onwards, I don't care about their affairs, and I wish their love a happy ending here, I want my daughter to have a happy and warm family, that's all. ”

She burst into tears, her neck tilted, she drank the white wine in the cup, her eyes were red, her face was red, she pursed her lips lightly, and was about to pour herself wine, at this time, Xue Xinyan stopped her.

"You drink less, your face is red."

"It doesn't matter, today is different from the past, my mother must not be drunk and not return."

She held Xue Xinyan's hand and looked at her with a doting face, as if a thousand words were pouring into her mouth, and she swallowed it back alive.

When Du Chenyu came to pick us up, only I, Xue Xinyan, was still awake, and the lady was already drunk to the point that she was completely unconscious, only listening to her muttering something with her eyes closed, my parents were sent back to the hotel, and Xue Xinyan and I walked hand in hand in the square.

As night falls, the fountains of lights in the square flicker and jump, changing from dazzling red to brilliant green.

Not far ahead, there are a few children on roller skates, sliding with great interest, they are laughing, high-pitched, so lively.

"Xinyan, I'm glad that your mother can say such things today, she now completely recognizes me."

I straightened my plaster arm on my chest, and the mist from the fountain rushed in front of me, sobering me up a little.

"Don't be too happy, can you believe the wine?"

"What do you mean?"

I hurriedly turned back to her and asked, looking puzzled.

"She hasn't taken back your two-year goal, now you can't relax, you have to fight when you should struggle, her mood changes too fast, in case one day she sees you drunk and infinitely degenerate, maybe she will find ways to embarrass you again."

Xue Xinyan let go of my hand and buttoned up the denim jacket.

"Don't worry, let her rest assured, I, Wang Tao, am not the kind of person who is content with the status quo."

"Of course I believe you, I'm afraid that her eyes will change her mind."

She covered her mouth and smiled, the evening breeze blew, curling a strand of hair on her forehead, and under the light, it was charming and sultry.

The two of us walked forward about fifty meters hand in hand, and suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, I rubbed my eyes and looked ahead.

I saw a boy and a girl dancing merrily, the girl was dressed in a stylish sportswear, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her deep eyes shone seductively.

This, isn't this Zhang Xueyao, next to her is a tall, thin boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with curly hair neatly groomed, wearing a black casual shirt on the upper body, a pair of light blue jeans on the lower body, two holes in the knees, and a pair of red and white skateboard shoes, lively and smart, exuding a charming youthful atmosphere.

There is a power amplifier on the ground, an audio cable connected to the mobile phone, and Vicci Martinez's "Run Run Run" is playing.

I pulled Xue Xinyan and walked over slowly, to the periphery of the crowd, Zhang Xueyao's cheeks were red, her hair was flying in the wind, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

After the song, the boy smiled and said to Zhang Xueyao: "Sister, you are getting better and better at this dance." ”

"Where, it's far worse than you."

Zhang Xueyao took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead.

I pulled Xue Xinyan over, at first she sat on a plastic chair, bowed her head and clicked on her phone, she raised her head after I walked in, her expression slowly changed from stunned to confused, and looked at Xue Xinyan next to me, and changed into surprise.

"You, why are you here, your girlfriend is back?"

Zhang Xueyao stood up, her face full of embarrassment.

She looked at Xue Xinyan, her hair stood on end, and she gasped, because the noble lady had kidnapped her, her eyes were full of hostility, and her nerves tensed, as if she was about to flee the scene.

"Hello, my name is Xue Xinyan, I have met before, and I didn't officially say hello."

Xue Xinyan stretched out her white and tender little hand and looked at Zhang Xueyao with a smile on her face.

Zhang Xueyao was stunned in place, as if she had done a strong ideological struggle, she hesitated for a moment, slowly stretched out her little hand and said, "Well, my name is Zhang Xueyao." ”

After speaking, she showed a shy look on her face, she turned around very uncomfortably, looked at the beautiful young man behind her and said, "You clean up the audio equipment first, don't jump today." ”

"Sister, didn't you say that today is a big match?"

The beautiful boy looked at Zhang Xueyao for some reason, and his good interest seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.

"Don't talk nonsense, come early tomorrow, and my sister will dance with you."

"Oh, got it."

The boy pouted, and walked away with the stereo in his arms reluctantly.

I asked curiously, "Why don't you jump, I just watched it for a while, and it was a good dance." ”

"I'm tired, I don't want to jump."

Zhang Xueyao brushed the bangs on her forehead, picked up the plastic chair, looked at me and said, "I'm going back, let's get together if we have a chance." ”

"Okay, slow down on the road."

Xue Xinyan was still smiling and said goodbye to her politely.

Looking at Zhang Xueyao's distant back, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart, this kind of emotion that came from nowhere made me a little troubled, the people in the square gradually became scarce, the central fountain also stopped beating, there was a half-round bright moon hanging in the sky, a large black cloud slowly drifted in, blocking the dense moonlight, the air was confused with humid moisture, and it was going to rain.

"Let's go back, I'm a little hungry."

I glanced down at my watch, and the scumbag shouldn't have fallen asleep at this point.

"How old are you after eating, are you a pig?"

Xue Xinyan gave me a blank look and helped me lift the crooked plaster arm up.

"Just eat vegetables, don't eat, of course I'm hungry, let's go buy some cooked food, and go back and ask the scumbag brother to drink some, how about it?"

I looked at Xue Xinyan with a wicked smile on my face, thinking that I couldn't enjoy drinking tonight, and I happened to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, and the wine was booming.

After hearing this, she pinched me the waist, "Ouch, it hurts." ”

"You still know that it hurts, you make yourself like an alcoholic, you know how to drink every day, you are now a sick and wounded, you should drink less, do you still need me to tell you this common sense?"

She stared at her clear beautiful eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, and her delicate smile flushed from emotion.

"It seems that if you marry me, your alcohol will slowly rise in the future, hehe."

I pinched the tip of her nose and looked at her with a happy face.

"Who said I was going to marry you, stay away from me."

She said duplicitously, but she squeezed my hand tightly, and she quietly lowered her head to hide her shyness.

The two of us went to the deli, bought a roast duck and three Bazhen pig's trotters, fried peanuts, all of which were very good appetizers, took a taxi back to the basement, and bought two dozen cold beers at the small shop across the street, considering that Xue Xinyan couldn't drink too cold beer, and bought two more bottles of cocktails.

When he returned to the yard, Brother Scumbag was sitting on a bench shirtless, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and was attracted by an article.

Brother Scumbag has a very heavy obsessive-compulsive disorder, he rarely reads books, and once he writes a book that is particularly exciting, he has to read it even if he stays up late.

"Xinyan is here."

Brother Scumbag stood up, turned off his phone, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"Brother scumbag is good."

I put the appetizers on the table, took out two more bottles of beer, opened them and handed them to the scumbag, and said with a smile: "It's a long night, drink some wine to relieve fatigue, I haven't drunk with you for a long time." ”

I took two sips.

"You have a broken arm, you can't go out of the stall recently, you better drink less bars."

Brother Scumbag kindly reminded me.

"If you can't go out of the stall, you can go out for a trip."

Xue Xinyan looked at me excitedly and took a sip of the cocktail.

I wondered, "Where to go?" ”

"Qingdao Laoshan."

"What, what?"
