The bubble tea shop's sign is no longer bright, and the orange foam edge even has a yellowish stain from the moss after it has been dried. But no matter what, this is what the four girls are most accustomed to, their "old place" in town. Over the years, guests have come and gone, and they may not be recognizable when they appear alone, but the four girls come in with a smile on their backs, and their joyful expressions will evoke the most vivid memories of the boss couple. "Ah, it's a National Day holiday?" The boss with pigtails laughed and had kind lines on his nose, and the proprietress tilted her head, stunned for a moment and said hello.

Xia Lei knows everyone's tastes best, she leaned on the counter and ordered, looked at the price list and said, "Hey, why is there a rice bowl?" The boss smiled, "Business is not good, everyone sells drinks, a palm-sized place, and a rain can flood more than a dozen milk tea shops!" Xia Lei nodded, "Oh, diversify!" After the other three chose their seats, Chen Li came over to help get the drink, and when she saw that it was not ready, she pressed Xia Lei's shoulders and waited aside.

The shop has been expanded once and has not been renovated, the counters, chairs, and the decorative paintings on the walls can be seen to be old, and the owner and his wife are people who have a heart, they keep this place fresh at all times, play the right music, and use discarded bottles and cans to plant flowers and plants on the sunny windowsill, some slender, some stout...... "Boss, what kind of flowers are in that painting, so beautiful!" Chen Li pointed to the door and said, the boss looked over and said, "Iris, it's beautiful, right?" My wife drew it. ”

A dark green fabric stool and a saltwater bottle wrapped in colored twine are used as vases. Chen Li fiddled with the dry sky and said, "Oh my God, do you believe it? These things are all handmade by the owner's family! Shi Jiaojiao and Lao Liu were taken aback, "Both of them are studying art, I don't know why they came to the town, and they stayed for so long." Xia Lei took a sip of black tea and said, the sixth deliberately looked at the environment in the store again, "I have never paid attention to it, but now it seems to be very different." ”

"And do they still paint?" Shi Jiaojiao looked at an abstract painting composed of lines and color blocks on the opposite wall and asked, Xia Lei nodded, "The proprietress painted a lot, and grandpa also bought a painting from her, called "Thousand Layers of Snow". Drawing lines with only reefs and sea water, I don't know why, I will be sad to see too much. The sixth child and Chen Li looked at each other, Shi Jiaojiao held a straw in her mouth, and the three of them knew that she remembered the old man who had died, and they didn't know how to answer.

Xia Lei raised her head, looked at her good friends like wooden chickens and laughed, blinked her eyes and said, "The four of us go and ask for a painting, maybe it will be worth it in the future!" The sixth man covered his mouth and laughed, Chen Li said that it was very reasonable, Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "It's really worth it, and I'm reluctant to sell it!" Chen Li pounded the table and said, "Don't talk about these things that are not there, Xia Lei and Ji Fei, what's the matter with the two of you, you came back so late!" I've been waiting for Jiaojiao's neck to be long. ”

"A long neck is a good look!" The sixth child playfully answered, and Xia Lei echoed, "That's it, how beautiful, it fascinates Wang Jiawei to death!" Hurry up and marry you back, haha! Chen Li originally had something to say in her heart, but she couldn't stand being teased like this, so she dragged Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Speak quickly, they are united, so bad!" Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip and smiled, "Speaking of which, your aunt tells my mother every day that you are going to get married!" "Shi Jiaojiao, you!" Seeing that Chen Li's face turned purple, Shi Jiaojiao waved her hand to tell everyone to be quiet, "Be quiet, there is a meeting today, and the content of the meeting is our Lili's lifelong event!" ”

The sixth straightened his back and exclaimed, "You won't really get married, will you?" Xia Lei pinched her fingers and counted, "No, I'm not old yet!" As he was talking, the boss brought snacks, a plate of chicken rice and a plate of fries, which were bubbling with oil. Wrong, right? Xia Lei asked, Chen Li patted her chest, "I ordered, and there is a chicken wing connected to the flesh and bones!" The other three looked at her, Xia Lei squinted and smiled, "What do you mean, how can you sell well?" Chen Li rolled her eyes, "It's rare to be together, the three of you are all going to school outside, can't I behave as a sister?" was robbed by Xia Lei, "You're only a few seconds older than me?" ”

Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, peeled off the crispy skin on the surface of the fried chicken, and handed the pure meat to the sixth child, who took it with his mouth and shook his hand again and again: "I'll come by myself." Xia Lei turned her head and grinned: "You two are so tired, just fall in love!" Shi Jiaojiao put Xia Lei on her wrist, and took Chen Li's words: "It's not been a day since you were a sister, and you suddenly behaved so fiercely, which made the little ones very scared!" Xia Lei leaned on Chen Li and smiled, "If you have something, say it quickly, it's too obvious, you're going to explode." ”

As soon as Chen Li put her arm in front of the table, she exhaled and was about to speak, the proprietress brought the meat skewers, Chen Li held her eyes wide in one breath, and she was so happy that she secretly laughed for the other three days, the proprietress was a little frightened, and asked with a nervous smile: "What's the matter, is there anything on my face?" The four of them shook their hands again and again, and the thin woman left in confusion.

"Let's talk about it now." Lao Liu peeled the crispy skin of the chicken rice flower and said, Chen Li picked up the drink, "I'll wait for the chicken wings...... Four whole chicken wings were inserted on the iron skewer, and the chicken skin was baked into a brown and red fox color, shining with oil and fragrant. No one spoke for a while, picked it up and ate it attentively, Shi Jiaojiao took a bite and asked Xia Lei: "You really learn to paint?" Xia Lei licked her lips and shook her head, "I'm not sure now." ”

When the slowest eater spit out the last small bone, Chen Li handed over a piece of paper, patted the table lightly with both hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone, have you eaten well?" "Eat well!" "Is it delicious?" "Delicious!" Chen Li nodded with the old leader's satisfied expression, and changed her words, "Actually, Wang Jiawei heard that the four of us were going to meet, so he threw two hundred yuan to me and let us have snacks!" After speaking, he puffed out his cheeks and looked at everyone, the other three people, you look at me, I look at you, Xia Lei gave a thumbs up and said, "The young man is very wise, Wei Wei saves Zhao!" The sixth was confused and blinked wide-eyed, "So, you really want to marry him?" ”

Chen Li rubbed her hands, and then said: "Now the situation is like this, we have been on a blind date for more than a year...... and then looked at Xia Leiton, and then said: "You know, in the countryside, they get married early." The Venerable Master did come to his ears and was clamoring for me to marry him! But I, I ......" The sixth child stroked Chen Li's hand, Chen Li turned her head away, "I feel that I am still young, just like you!" I really don't want to be, what they call 'married women'......" Xia Lei frowned and asked, "What's going on now?" "I firmly disagree with marriage, they can't help it. But I've already set a date and I'm ready to get engaged......"

"What does it mean to be engaged?" Xia Lei turned her head and asked Shi Jiaojiao, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head and looked at the sixth child, who unexpectedly understood very well, "Marriage is to change from boyfriend and girlfriend to unmarried couple, in the countryside, you will generally get married within half a year after being engaged!" Xia Lei counted with her fingers and muttered: "This is the legal age to get married......

Chen Li's brows tightened even deeper, "My aunt is still disgusting, I always say that I have spent the night outside with others, and it is ugly to make people point fingers, it is better to get married quickly!" But the only time I went out with him and didn't come home was when I slept at my aunt's house! "What kind of person is this, and what kind of elders!" Shi Jiaojiao scratched the table angrily, Chen Li shook her hand in disgust, "I have long felt that something is wrong, and then Wang Jiawei was tricked out by me, it turned out that my uncle's family grabbed the foundation with others, and it was solved through an uncle of the Wang family, and my aunt was particularly stammered with ......others" "Isn't this my grandfather and my new grandmother?" The sixth whispered to himself.

There was silence for a while, "That's not the point. Xia Lei said calmly: "Li, you answer me a question." "You say." "Do you like Wang Jiawei, have you ever thought about marrying him?" Looking at Xia Lei's serious eyes, Chen Li swept away her shyness and nodded seriously, "We were originally bent on getting married, and we never thought about others. Xia Lei's brows tightened even deeper, "That doesn't seem to be anything to worry about." Chen Li smacked her lips, her whole body collapsed, and she said weakly, "That's the case, but I ......" Her gaze wandered back and forth between the three of them, full of indescribable emotions.

The boss didn't know when he put on a light music, "The Courtyard in the Afternoon". Soft and soothing music departed from the counter and flowed between all the tables, and the voices of the guests were unconsciously muffled. Shi Jiaojiao saw Chen Li holding her face, avoiding their gaze, and staring at the "Blue Iris" in the distance. "Lili, don't worry." Shi Jiaojiao grabbed Chen Li's hand on the table, and looked at Xia Lei and Lao Liu before speaking.

Chen Li looked puzzled at first, and then a trace of anticipation rose. Shi Jiaojiao looked at this person who grew up together gently, recalled the reckless childhood, and said softly: "We are together, even if you work first, get married first or even have children first, then the aunt is also called three together." Chen Li took a deep breath, looked at Xia Lei hesitantly, and looked at the sixth child, wanting to believe it but couldn't help but doubt, "Yes, really?" To be honest, I'm really scared, I always feel that I don't deserve to play with you, more and more unworthy, I'm so afraid of losing you! Chen Li lowered her head.

Xia Lei on the side suddenly realized and was shocked, she was obviously the one who felt out of place and tried hard to catch the other three. Miraculously, Shi Jiaojiao and Lao Liu also felt that they were not worthy of the other three: Shi Jiaojiao's inferiority complex for her family background often felt that she had picked up people's teeth and took advantage of this friendship; In the eyes of the sixth child, they are all self-reliant and powerful, and they are Shi Jiaojiao's collaterals, if there is no connection with Shi Jiaojiao, maybe others will not look at them.

What a relationship this is! Growing up together, harboring ghosts together. Maybe girls are like this, the more they care, the more they will feel that they are not a match, no matter what kind of relationship it is. And the most beautiful thing is that this deep uneasiness is in a healthy relationship, but it always reminds them how difficult it is to be together, and they should cherish it.
