When I came out of the arcade, it was already dark.

My mom asked me on the phone, is the hotel ready?

I told her the name of the hotel and the room number, and she said that she and her father were on the shuttle bus of the unit, and they were almost entering the city.

Then Fugui and Fuqiang and I rushed to the hotel.

Along the way, Fugui's face was a little unsightly, and I said: "Who do you show with a drooping face, isn't it just a few hundred yuan, Lao Tzu has been in prison for a few years, come out to play once, you TMD, dare to droop a face and try it again."

I turned my face and asked Fu Qiang, "Are you having fun today?" Fu Qiang said humbly: "Cool."

I continued: "For the New Year, you have to have fun when you come out, how can you be virtuous with your father!" In prison, your father is like this, and he can nag for a day by eating a ham sausage.

Fugui's face was a little unbearable and said: "I just feel that the money is not worth spent, what do you say about this rag doll, and you can't drink it!"

I was a little disgusted by his poor theory, and pointed to a couple and said, "Do you see the roses on the woman's hands?" That bouquet should be at least hundreds, and it can't be eaten or drunk, and it will wither after a few days, why do you say that man wants to send flowers!

Fugui stubbornly said:

"Moneyy!

I was lazy and argued, saying, "I look down on people like you the most, just have fun when you come out and play!" The money didn't spend yours, you are forcing the crooked, get out of the way.

Fugui shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Not far from the door of the Jiangnan kitchen of the hotel, Xing Rui stood on the steps with a bag, she was wearing a black British wool coat, the coat was drawn from top to bottom, a slender curve, which was just the right simple style, and the collar stood solemnly.

Invisibly, half-wrapped in her standard face, the dim light seemed to block her noble temperament, and it was shy and dim in front of her.

The cold wind seemed to covet her beauty, ruffling her hair, giving people an elegance and even not exaggeration, that kind of beauty, beauty is too pure.

She put her hands in her pockets and looked around as if she was waiting for someone.

She saw me come over and say:

"You invite people to dinner, you don't wait for the master to stand at the door and wait, there is no one in the private room, I thought you were playing me?

I scratched the back of my head and said:

"No, I haven't been to the city for a few years, and I'm almost lost.

Xing Rui stared at me, and that look made me hairy.

Fugui handed over the doll in his hand and said:

"Officer Xing, hey, in order to buy you this doll, we will go through Yangbei City this afternoon! It really tires us out.

Xing Rui took the doll in Fugui's hand, looked at it again and again, and said:

"Really? I'm sorry Han Bing, I misunderstood you! How do you know I love dolls.

I turned my head and stared at Fugui viciously, thinking, this Nima was given to Chen Nina, and you actually gave it to Xing Rui. I'm cāo,! The rich guy didn't look at me and said with a smile:

"In Times Square, Han Bing saw the photo and said that this doll looks like you, hehe, as long as you like it, we are afraid that you don't like it!

Xing Rui's face was as happy as a flower and said:

"I didn't see it, Han Bing was quite caring! It's worth a lot of money!

I apologized for the smile, which felt like eating a fly, and said:

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, as long as you like!

Fugui fanned the flames on the side and said, "Nearly five hundred is not expensive.

Xing Rui was stunned for five hundred? I said, "Why, walk into the private room, it's cold outside."

As we spoke, the four of us went inside, and then we followed a waitress into the private room of the dream water town.

Xing Rui kept staring at me and said:

"You don't look so bad with a hat on!

I said, "What does it mean to look less bad, I'm not bad in the first place!"

Xing Rui: "Han Bing, you are actually very good, you just like to pretend to be cool!" If you don't call me today, I'll go to Uncle Cao's house for dinner.

At the mention of Cao Xingmin, my heart chuckled, it has been many days since he was released from prison, and I still haven't thanked him properly.

I said, "By the way, I'll call Uncle Cao in a few days, and I'll thank him well and treat him to a meal."

Xing Rui said: "Forget it, the busier the Chinese New Year, the busier Uncle Cao becomes."

I guess he doesn't have time!

I asked, "Don't you even have time to eat?"

Xing Rui said helplessly: "Hey, don't you know, in the autumn of a few months, there was a young woman who was killed in the western section of Ankang Road, and the criminal police team has been working overtime day and night, and the No. 1 boss of the city bureau gave a death order, and the case could not be solved."

The Yangbei branch does not have a holiday, and the mobilization meeting alone has been held three or four times, the No. 1 boss holds a weekly meeting to listen to the report, and Uncle Cao is named and criticized every time he goes to the city bureau for a meeting.

I lowered my head and asked coldly, "Is that woman's name Wu Changyue?"

Xing Rui looked at me in a daze and asked, "How do you know?"

At this moment, my parents walked in, glanced at everyone, and fixed their eyes on Xing Rui.

My mom smiled and asked, "Who is this?"

Xing Rui stood up politely and bowed half-bowed and shouted, "Uncle, aunt is good!"

I explained to my mother on the side, this is Xing Rui, Officer Xing.

My mother walked over quickly, held Xing Rui's hand and said:

"You're Officer Xing! I always hear Han Bing nagging in my ear:

"Sergeant Xing, Sergeant Xing is short, how good is Officer Xing to him, I thought you were about the same as me? It turns out that you are so young, Zhang is really handsome, come and sit down with Officer Xing!

I covered my forehead and looked at my father helplessly, my father looked at me with a smile, I didn't know what he meant by this smiling expression.

Xing Rui was obviously a little surprised and said, "Auntie, don't call me Officer Xing, just call me Xiao Rui!"

My mother took Xing Rui's hand and said, "Okay, let Xiao Rui be affectionate, how old are you this year!"

Xing Rui said: "I'm twenty-three, why don't my mother close her mouth so happily, she looked at my dad and said, "Twenty-three is good, Auntie is two rounds older than you."

Xing Rui obviously didn't expect my mother to be so enthusiastic, she may not have felt the care of her relatives for a long time, and her face turned red.

I looked at Xing Rui's unnatural expression and said:

"Mom, don't you always hold people's hands! You are the groomer of the funeral home, and you don't ask people if they are taboo or not.

My mom gave me a blank look and said, "You go up, it's your turn to speak, I wear gloves at work, and I don't need to touch my skin."

Xing Rui actually helped my mother speak:

"What does the groomer of the funeral home have! It's not that I haven't touched the corpse, Wu Changyue was still the clothes I changed for her at the beginning! Auntie, I don't care about this.

My mother didn't know which leg to walk first, pulled Xing Rui to the sofa, and the words changed directly from Officer Xing to Rui Rui.

As soon as I said a few words, my fourth aunt and fourth uncle walked in, and my mother seemed to be familiar with Xing Rui, and was busy introducing Xing Rui to them.

I feel that this meal is not like the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it has simply become a meal for Xing Rui and us to recognize relatives.

I sat on the side and didn't speak, Fugui said a few cool words from time to time, and laughed at me with frowns.

My dad was calm, and he kept his gentlemanly demeanor and said very little.

I was in a cold sweat after that meal, I felt that my thoughts were a little too worried, when I saw Xing Rui, I was really afraid that she would not be able to adapt to restraint, after all, I had never even met my parents and relatives, but from the atmosphere of the dinner, Xing Rui was very happy.

She seems to enjoy this atmosphere of being cared for, and I think maybe it is Xing Rui's lack of family care that will make her cherish this short time.

I can also see that Xing Rui also likes my mother, who speaks without going through her brain.

After three rounds of drinking, Xing Rui actually told my mother some interesting things about her at the police academy, and her family and parents died on the job.

My mom was moved to tears. I originally hoped to ask the fourth aunt about Wu Changyue in the textile factory at the wine table, but I couldn't interject at all.

We ate this meal from more than 6 o'clock in the evening until nearly 9 o'clock, and the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle went back first, and the fourth uncle had to run a night taxi at night.

My mother insisted that I send Xing Rui home first, and they waited for me in the hotel before going back with me.

As soon as Xing Rui and I left the store, Xing Rui said, "Han Bing, I didn't expect your mother to be so good."

I said, "My mother is good, Xing Rui, I am annoyed by my mother every day, and I can nag very much."

Xing Rui looked at the sky a little desolate and said: "You are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings, it would be nice if there was such a warm-hearted and kind mother."
