Ding Le sighed, "Blind date, my mother mobilized all the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts to help me find a wife." ”

Gu Qingyan and Tao Xiu looked at each other, Ding Le helped Tao Xiu and Gu Qingfang pour red wine, and shook his head helplessly.

"How's Auntie doing?" Tao Xiu asked with concern.

"The situation is not good, it is getting more and more painful, I am discussing with my dad, I really can't get through it, let her be discharged from the hospital, let her leave naturally, it is better than suffering so much." When Ding Le talked about his mother's illness, even his hands were trembling slightly.

Tao Xiu was gloomy, "Then you and Ye Chenming ......"

"I haven't seen each other for a few days, and my parents have been watching me so hard lately, I'm really tired." Ding Le laughed bitterly.

Gu Qingfang raised his eyebrows, "Cheer up, as long as you make up your mind and don't let go, there is no hurdle that you can't overcome, Ding Le, thank you for your blessings for our wedding, a toast." ”

Gu Qingfang's words warmed Ding Le's heart, thinking that Tao Xiu had just married Gu Qingyan, it was the time when the relationship was good, as Tao Xiu's best friend, he didn't want to talk about unhappy things, so he adjusted his mood at the moment and raised his glass, "It should be that I respect you, I wish you happiness." ”

The three glass goblets collided slightly, and the dark red wine in the wine glasses swayed slightly, and Tao Xiu's eyes flashed, "Thank you." ”

The three of them all raised their heads and drank, and the next topic was very relaxed, and no one mentioned Ye Chenming or Ding Le's mother again.

This is the most appetizing meal that Ding Le has eaten for more than a month, since he started to eat on a blind date, Ding Le has not been able to eat well, and even has a few attacks with stomach problems, today he successfully solved the blind date woman, and also met Tao Xiu and Gu Qingmad, everyone was happy, and they also drank a lot of wine during the meal.

When the three of them were full of food and drink and were ready to leave, a tall figure in a public security uniform walked into the restaurant.

The figure stood at the door and glanced at it a few times, and when he saw Ding Le, he walked towards them.

Ding Le didn't see the figure, he just took out the mobile phone that rang and answered a call, and the familiar voice on the phone came out softly: "Raise your head and look at me." ”

Ding Le raised his head when he heard this, and saw the familiar figure and familiar face.

Ye Chenming sat down next to Ding Le and nodded to Gu Qingyan and Tao Xiu, "You guys are also there?" ”

"I was just looking for a place to eat, and I saw Ding Le." Tao Xiudao.

Ding Le asked Ye Chenming, "Have you eaten?" ”

Ye Chenming shook his head, Ding Le waved his hand, and a waiter came over with the menu, Ding Le frowned and looked at the menu, and ordered two or three dishes that Ye Chenming liked to eat, as well as a pasta.

Tao Xiu and Gu Qingmad looked at each other and smiled, Gu Qingmad raised his head and said, "You eat slowly, let's go back first." ”

Ding Le nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety." ”

After Tao Xiu and Gu Qingfang left, Ye Chenming's meal was on the table, Ding Le served Ye Chenming's food, looked at the time by the way, and complained: "How often do you eat so late late? ”

Ding Le had already located the address of this restaurant to Ye Chenming before coming over on a blind date, so Ye Chenming would rush over immediately after work, just to see Ding Le in such a little time.

Since Ding Le moved back home, the time for the two to meet was too short, and sometimes Ye Chenming couldn't even help sneaking out to Ding Le's office to see him when he was at work, but he was too busy recently, and there were fewer opportunities to sneak away.

"It's busy, my stomach is fine, you can't do that." Ye Chenming said very seriously.

Ding Le pushed the dish over, "The Australian steak here is delicious, eat it slowly." ”

Although Ding Le said "eat slowly", Ye Chenming still filled his stomach within ten minutes, his former military career made Ye Chenming develop a good habit of racing against time, not to mention that the time he spent with Ding Le now was too precious, Ye Chenming didn't want to waste time on eating by himself.

When checking out, the waiter told Ye Chenming that the two men who had just left had already settled the bill, Ye Chenming was dumbfounded, and then smiled indifferently, seeing that there were not many people around, he took Ding Le's hand, "Let's go." ”

Because he knew that Ding Le drove out of the car, Ye Chenming left the car at the Public Security Bureau, and sat in the passenger seat at this time, Ye Chenming looked at the dark circles next to Ding Le's eyes, and said distressedly: "You have been too tired lately." ”

"It's fine." Ding Le knew that Ye Chenming was not comfortable, it was all because they loved each other, so they were enduring and working hard with each other, and no one could bear to put pressure on each other.

"Where are you going?" Ye Chenming saw that the road in front of him was neither the way home, nor the way to the hospital, nor the way back to the Public Security Bureau, so he asked.

Ding Le smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a while." ”

Ding Le drove the car all the way to the place where the bicycle was rented, and after parking the car, he took out two sets of sportswear that had been prepared long ago from the back seat, and threw the slightly larger one to Ye Chenming, "Put it on, we haven't sweated profusely for a long time." ”

It turned out that Ding Le missed their favorite sport before they got married, and after they got married, they really rarely came to play this sport, and Ye Chenming also missed it very much.

The two changed their clothes and put on exactly the same sportswear, looking like ordinary couple clothes, the red and black sportswear made the two look energetic, and the two who changed their clothes even kissed in the car before reluctantly getting out of the car.

"Good evening, we would like to rent two bikes for two hours." Ding Le said to the old man in the rental carport.

The old man habitually rubbed his hands, "Ouch, it's you, you haven't been here for a long time, and now it seems that the relationship is still so good, it's really good, pay the deposit and car rental fee first, and I'll pick you two best bikes to ride......"

Ye Chenming liked to rent a bicycle here for night riding since he first met Ding Le, Ding Le was infected by Ye Chenming, and later also fell in love with this sport, in the past, the two often walked over after work to rent a bicycle and ride for an hour or two, chatting while riding, or taking pictures of the night scene of L City with a camera along the way.

"Okay, thank you, has your son been admitted to the first high school?" Ding Le asked the old man with a little rickety on his back.

I used to chat with the old man when I came to rent a car, the old man is a very real person, obviously living very poor, but he has never raised the price, the old man has no wife and children, his son is picked up at the door of his alley, obviously he has lived tired enough, seeing the little baby who was born not long ago, the old man still kindly took him home and raised him as his own son.

Many people who come to rent a car know that the old man's son is not his own son, and the old man did not deliberately hide his son, but told his son early that he was not his biological father, and told him that if he has a future in the future, or his biological parents come back to him, he will not ask for anything, just ask him to come back to see himself more often.

is such an old man, in order to earn dozens of dollars a day, other car rental sheds closed at seven or eight o'clock, but he insisted until twelve o'clock night and night, blowing the cold wind, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind and rain, whether there was business or not, he waited quietly.

Someone asked him why he was so tired, and he said that earning a dozen more yuan could help his son buy an extra book.

The old man's son is very good at reading, and everyone says that he will definitely have a great future in the future, and every time he hears the praise of others, the old man laughs and bends over.

In fact, in this bustling L city, there are fewer and fewer people who rent bicycles, students themselves have bicycles, office workers are busy with work, and there is no time to come out to ride, as for the elderly, most of them like to walk, especially in recent years, many of the old man's peers have gradually gone out of business, and the old man's business is becoming more and more difficult to do.

But the old man still persevered, in addition to renting a car, he also bought some tools to help some passing students pump up their bicycles, or change tires to make some small money.

There are only ten bicycles in the old man's carport, some of which are very old, but they are just placed there, and as long as there are guests, the old man will pick the latest bicycles for the guests.

Although Ding Le and Ye Chenming are not very rich, they usually have an upper middle level of economic ability and consumption, it is not that they have no money to buy two bicycles, but they are willing to help the old man's business, and are willing to respect the old man's car rental business, maybe they come a few more times, the old man can earn enough money for his son to buy books, if they can have a little more, then they can eat a better meal.

Ding Le and Ye Chenming both understood that it was an insult for someone like the old man to give him money directly, because he was not a beggar, he was making money by his own labor, so Ding Le and Ye Chenming had never bought a bicycle, as long as they were free, they would come over to rent a car.

"I've been admitted, and school will start in two months, and I've just saved up enough for his tuition!" The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Come on, I have just maintained these two bicycles, they are very easy to ride, I will unlock them for you, and there are fewer and fewer people who come to ride at night, I thought you would not come either......"

After the old man opened the lock, Ding Le and Ye Chenming stepped forward and pushed the bicycle out, "We are busy with work, as long as we are free in the future, we will often come over to ride and exercise, thank you, we are ready to start, you remember to look at the time." Ding Le reminded.

The old man waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you guys go, hey~ It's good to be young!" ”

The backs of Ding Le and Ye Chenming rode farther and farther away, until they shrank into two small black dots, and the old man sat back on the chair, shaking his fan while listening to the news on the radio.

"It seems that we haven't been here for a long time, and even the old man misses us." Ye Chenming turned his face sideways and said to Ding Le.

Ding Le nodded, "I suddenly remembered that we hadn't ridden together, raced together, sweated together, and shouted together for a long time, and I thought, we need some passion and strength to fight against everything." ”

Ye Chenming's eyes were beating with a eager light, "Come, let's start the game!" ”
