Chapter 37: The City of Dreams
There are still seven days before Ye Hua gets married, and they called us one by one early in the morning to urge us to come to Suzhou to help him, and Meng Yao and I met Xu Sansheng and An Xin at the airport.
Meng Yao saw Xu Sansheng dragging his suitcase and walking behind An Xin, waving his hand and shouting, "An Xin is here!" ”
"Here we go." An Xin replied with a smile, glanced at Xu Sansheng behind him with disgust, and said, "Hurry up, slow down." ”
Xu Sansheng looked aggrieved and looked at me for help, I pretended not to see it, and stood aside smoking a cigarette and enjoying it.
The four of us were waiting at the airport, watching Meng Yao and An Xin chatting happily, Xu Sansheng pulled me aside, looked at me strangely, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Sansheng looked me up and down with his eyes, and said seriously: "It seems that you and Meng Yao are really together, I am very happy for my brother, you are finally on the right path." ”
I didn't feel good and said, "Then it's crooked that I'm not with her?" ”
"You can say the same thing."
As soon as I wanted to refute, Meng Yao called Xu Sansheng and I to get ready to get on the plane, I glared at Xu Sansheng and walked over to them.
"What were you guys talking about?" An Xin asked Xu Sansheng curiously.
Xu Sansheng shrugged his shoulders and made an expression that I didn't know.
"Che, I don't want to know yet."
An Xin, who didn't care one second, smiled at me the next second and asked, "What little secret were you talking about just now?" ”
Meng Yao also came over curiously, and I said to them angrily: "Women, don't gossip too much. ”
......
A few hours later, we finally returned to Suzhou, we called Ye Hua at the airport and asked him, the groom, to pick us up, Meng Yao, who fell asleep on the plane, was still sleepy and fell asleep on my shoulder, Xu Sansheng looked at us with envy, and at the same time was happy for my change, because I finally began to accept Meng Yao.
After waiting for half an hour, Ye Hua finally drove a business car to pick us up at the airport, I gently pushed the sleeping Meng Yao, and called softly: "Wake up, we are leaving." ”
Meng Yao was half-awake, rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened her eyes and looked around and asked me, "Are we leaving?" ”
"Ye Hua is here to pick us up."
"Meng Yao, did you play too late with Ye Hua last night?" Xu Sansheng asked with a smile.
Meng Yao blushed back to her senses, An Xin hugged Meng Yao and said affectionately: "Yaoyao, don't listen to her." ”
At the same time, the next sentence made Meng Yao blush even more: "Is it the cold that forced you?" ”
I said speechlessly, "Why don't you two husband and wife sing on the same stage?" ”
"Why don't you leave because you want to have a wedding for me here?" Ye Hua walked over and asked with a smile.
Xu Sansheng and I went up and gave him a hug, Ye Hua looked at Meng Yao and An Xin, and asked, "You don't want one either?" ”
"You're beautiful." Meng Yao and An Xin glanced at him at the same time, looking disgusted, but they still gave Ye Hua a hug.
An Xin asked, "Didn't your wife come?" ”
"I'm busy, I'm also busy, but you're not here, and I'm here to take the time."
We nodded, got into Ye Hua's car and left the airport, first drove to the hotel that Ye Hua had booked, on the way Ye Hua looked at Xu Sansheng playfully, and asked, "Are the two of you a double bed room or do you live separately?" ”
"A couple's suite, of course."
"Separated, of course."
The inconsistent voices of the two made us laugh for a while, An Xin glared at Xu Sansheng, and said domineeringly to Ye Hua: "Couple suite!" ”
Ye Hua glanced at Xu Sansheng, and his eyes seemed to say: Look, I can't help you anymore.
After leaving Xu Sansheng and An Xin's luggage in the hotel, the five of them rushed to my house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother and Aunt Zijin sitting on the sofa chatting, and I was surprised to see me with everyone suddenly visiting, and greeted us with Aunt Zijin.
"Hello Auntie." "Mom." We exchanged a few polite words with my mother and Aunt Zijin, my mother and Aunt Zijin made tea for Ye Hua, An Xin and Xu Sansheng, and Meng Yao and I took advantage of the gap to put the luggage back in our room.
"Aunt Shu, Aunt Zijin, you must come to my wedding when the time comes, and my uncles will also come." Ye Hua smiled at my mother and Aunt Zijin.
"Okay, well, I'll bring them with me when the time comes." My mother and Aunt Zijin smiled and nodded.
I started chatting about our life in Weihai again, chatting about my thoughts on the future, and when the time was almost up, I said to my mother: "Let's go first, Ye Hua is still busy, we have to hurry up to help." ”
"Okay, then you can go first, and come back when you have time."
......
We went to Ye Hua's house first and began to dress up, and in the evening, Yu Bing also took time out of the house to rush over and apologized to us: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
"It's okay, bride, it's okay no matter how late it is, anyway, the groom is not in a hurry for this little time." Xu Sansheng said jokingly.
"Why don't you hurry, I'm thinking about marrying my delicate little wife home right now."
We all smiled, and then the group went to dinner together, and at the dinner table, Xu Sansheng sighed with emotion: "Now that Ye Hua is married, the era that belongs to us has passed, and now it belongs to the post-zero." ”
I nodded and said, "yes, in another ten years we'll have a few kids, going around them all day, worrying about their future......"
I said what everyone wants, at this moment the years are not forgiving, it will never stay for a moment for anyone, those who do not know the youth, now they are slowly understanding, maybe the feeling of understanding the hope for the future is also a kind of growth, a kind of love and anxiety from parents.
After everyone was silent, Ye Hua took the lead in breaking the heaviness and asked us with a smile: "Now that Yu Bing and I are the first to get married, I don't know who it will be next." ”
I looked at Ye Hua provocatively, planning to tell everyone the secret that I was going to get married, and it was also a blatant way to tell me that I accepted Meng Yao, and said: "Meng Yao and I originally planned to get married in half a year, but now it's almost a month, Sansheng, do you plan to be the third?" ”
Meng Yao looked at me unexpectedly, tears shining in her eyes.
"Really? Good news. Ye Hua was pleasantly surprised, and then said with a complaint: "Damn, buddy, it's not enough, buddy, I just told us the news now." ”
"Congratulations Yaoyao, you are also a bride-to-be." Yu Bing smiled and gave Meng Yao a glass of wine.
Meng Yao toasted a glass of wine back, her face was slightly red, I couldn't tell whether it was joy or instrength to drink, I put the wine glass in front of her a little farther away, and said, "Drink less, it won't be good to get drunk later." ”
Meng Yao nodded and hummed.
Everyone else supported their heads with one hand, looking at the scene between me and Meng Yao playfully, and An Xin said, "It's so ambiguous." ”
"Hey......" Xu Sansheng began to take the lead in coaxing.
I coughed in embarrassment, and Meng Yao's face turned even redder, not daring to look up at them.
"Okay, okay, I didn't see my Yaoyao's face was red and almost dripping blood." An Xin glared at everyone.
"Here, let's give a toast to the couple who are finally married." So we raised our glasses, and the sound of the collision of glasses was mixed with our laughter.
......
Meng Yao and I returned home and stood in the corridor between the two houses, I looked at Meng Yao with a slightly red face, she was so charming and intoxicating in the moonlight.
"Cold, then we'll see you tomorrow." Meng Yao was going to open the door.
"Wait." I stopped Meng Yao.
Meng Yao looked at me suspiciously, I couldn't help but lean over, getting closer and closer to Meng Yao's face, Meng Yao's face was getting redder and redder, and she was short of breath.
I couldn't help but kiss it, and after parting, I smiled and said, "Let's go, see you tomorrow." ”
When I got home, my mother was lying on the sofa and applying a mask, and her phone was put aside to remember the time. ”
"Why, just allow you young people to wear face masks, and not allow us old people to wear face masks?" My mom said coldly.
"Who said that my mother is so young, how can she be an old man, she should wear a mask."
"But Mom, this thing is useless, isn't it just water and protein, what effect can it have?"
When I was in college, several roommates also wore masks, and Ye Hua and I also tried to apply them for a month, but after a month, we found that it was useless except that my face was more tender, and some women pointed at it and laughed and said: "It's more tender than our face, is it to be a little fresh meat?" ”
We haven't touched the mask since.
When the mobile phone rang, my mother took off the mask on her face and said to me: "Women are made of water, and they need to be maintained, what can you and your father understand?" ”
"Mom, you said that women are made of water, so what are we men made of?"
My mother was stunned, looked at me carefully, and replied coldly, "It's made of soil." ”
"Mom, are you saying I don't have a brain?"
My mother smiled, didn't explain, and asked me, "How are you and Mengyao doing in Weihai?" ”
I pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's the progress?" ”
My mother said patiently: "You live with Meng Yao and nothing happens?" ”
"What can happen to me and Meng Yao? Does it count as setting fire to the earth? ”
"To be serious, I'm talking about whether you and Meng Yao have ever slept in the same bed." My mom suddenly said it bluntly.
"Mom, can't you give me some privacy? Why do you have to ask these intimate words? I said with a bitter face.
"Okay, okay, I don't ask."
I was afraid that my mother would ask me some strange questions, so I went back to my room early, lay down on the bed and began to meditate.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and in my dream I saw a city, and there lived a woman in the city, and she sat at the doorway, and in her arms there was a babbling child, and she looked lovingly at the child in her hand, but I couldn't see her face clearly, and I couldn't see the child clearly.
I don't know how long it took, the woman's back was a little sad, watching the child choking, at this moment my heart was torn in pain, inexplicably sad.
I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, sweating on my forehead, recalling the inexplicable sadness and pain in my heart, I didn't have the heart to reverie this false dream, so I took a shower and went back to my room to continue sleeping.
