Chapter 451: There are many guests who sigh for the banquet
In fact, Hou Ping'an himself was just planning, but he had to postpone it again and again.
Mainly because of Hou Ping'an's own birthday.
The 22nd day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar and the 25th day of the eighth month of the solar calendar. In Hou Ping'an's view, this day is meaningless. Because in his previous life, his birthday was not this. But for Hou Wengui and Qin Lamei, it is very meaningful.
Two days in advance, Qin Lamei called Hou Ping'an and asked him to go home early. Hou Ping'an agreed. In the past, when I had birthdays, my brothers would get together and drink casually. In his previous life, he basically had no family. Sometimes it's a birthday, sometimes it's not a birthday.
Hou Ping'an has no expectations for his birthday in this world. It's nothing more than going home for a meal.
The night before, Hou Ping'an sat alone on the terrace at night, drinking and watching the stars and the night view of Changling City. The night view of Changling City is much worse than the night view of the Magic City, but the lighting is also very secret, but it is not so bright and bright.
Xiaoyuan sat next to Hou Ping'an, with a straight upper body, showing a good level of nutrition.
As soon as Hou Ping'an finished drinking, he poured it.
Hou Ping'an said, "Can you wait a while!" ”
Xiao Yuan stared at Hou Ping'an with big innocent eyes, as if to say, why is this? Isn't it immediately poured after the wine is drunk?
"You know what?" Hou Ping'an said suddenly, and then pointed to the lights of the city.
Xiao Yuan immediately looked in the direction of Hou Ping'an's finger. nodded very seriously: "I know!" ”
"You know? You know what a! ”
"I really know, it's Tianyuan Building, the tallest building in Changling City, but ...... We're moving from there. Madoka was a little reluctant about that place.
"What do I mean by that?" Hou Ping'an was surprised by this girl's brain supplement.
"What does that mean?" Xiao Yuan was stunned, the direction of this finger was Tianyuan Building.
"I mean the lights in the city, not just the lights on the streets, but the lights on the cars, and the stars shining on them, it's the light of the city."
Madoka said "oh" and nodded: "It's beautiful!" ”
"What I'm telling you is that the light is the world. Fireworks in the world are the real life. Hou Ping'an took a sip of wine, and then sighed, "Do you know where the meaning of life is?" ”
Madoka shook her head, a little confused.
"There are several layers to the meaning of life. The first is to live. Being alive is the greatest meaning. Everyone has a meaning to exist. And then it's a very good life. And when you can live a better life, follow your dreams. What's your dream, Madoka! ”
Madoka said, "My dream...... I...... I probably didn't have a dream. Madoka thought about it and felt that she really didn't know how to express her dream, so she shook her head.
"I can't do it without a dream." Hou Ping'an said, "Now that you can live well, then it's time to pursue your dreams." For example, cooking, or shooting short videos? ”
Madoka thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "When I was a child, I thought that it would be nice to be able to build a beautiful house for my family. Now that this has come true, I don't have any dreams. ”
"Cooking?"
"Cooking is also a dream? I don't think so, right? Because I love cooking, and I've been doing it, aren't dreams about things that haven't been fulfilled yet? ”
These words actually stopped Hou Ping'an.
Hou Ping'an was annoyed and angry, and drank it dry: "This is the dream." ”
Madoka muttered, "I don't think so...... What you do every day, how can it be considered a dream......"
"I think so!"
Madoka didn't dare to squeak. looked at Hou Ping'an silently, then picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass of wine for Hou Ping'an. You say yes, yes!
"Tomorrow is a good day......"
Hou Ping'an came up drunk, and sang rhythmically with his fingers on the seat. Xiaoyuan stood behind Hou Ping'an and pinched Hou Ping'an's shoulder.
"Why are you so attentive today?"
"Isn't this going to the Demon City? Later...... When we finally see each other in the future, I want to do more. Madoka replied naturally.
"That's fine, pinch!" Hou Ping'an nodded, don't say it, Xiaoyuan's way of pinching his shoulders is getting better and better. And her hand strength is also quite big, I didn't expect it to be proportional to her figure.
Lights are lights, and stars are stars.
In the end, Hou Ping'an couldn't distinguish between the stars and the lights in his eyes. In fact, this is the distance between reality and distant dreams. Sometimes, people can't tell the difference between dreams and reality when they stay.
Just like in reality, there are always people who treat life as life.
The next morning, Madoka made breakfast and went out to work. Hou Ping'an drove his paramela to Taohua County. I went to a shopping mall halfway, bought some things, and moved a Moutai.
By the way, I called my mother Qin Lamei: "Mom, I'm in the mall, what else do I need to buy?" ”
"I bought them all, I was ready two days ago, and your dad prepared them himself!"
Speaking of this, Qin Lamei became energetic.
"Bacon, the bacon in June is the best. The meat is shiny and shiny, and this year's meat is better than in previous years. There is also a chicken, it is a rooster, your father has to kill the old hen, and his son's birthday, of course it is a rooster! I also made a big hoof, and I pressed it with a pressure cooker so that it was almost bone-free......"
Hou Ping'an didn't interrupt Qin Lamei, and quietly listened to her say these little things, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Come back soon, there's a guest at home."
Qin Lamei finally instructed.
"Guests? Isn't it just a meal for a few of us? You've invited someone else over? "Hou Ping'an is a little strange, he doesn't plan to eat with outsiders.
"Who else can it be, it's all their own relatives. Your uncle and second aunt, and your cousin's family. Anyway, a big table can sit down, you can just come. I won't let you cook, what are you panicking about! ”
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Hou Ping'an smiled, but he still bought a few cigarettes and some pure juice drinks, usually these drinks are more expensive, they are more than a dozen yuan a bottle, and a bottle is only 330 ml.
After thinking about it, I also felt that there was nothing to buy.
Drove back home. Several cars were parked in front of the door. There were still a few cars parked in the flat of Aunt Zhang's house next to them, and a few cars were parked on the opposite side.
Hou Ping'an's own car had no place to park, so he had to park on the side of the road, pull over as much as possible, and let a car pass in the place where he was free.
As soon as Hou Ping'an got out of the car, a group of people came out of the house.
These people Hou Ping'an all know, that is, when I called just now, Qin Lamei said, uncle's family, second aunt's family, and cousin's family.
But it's all a few heads.
"He's back, happy birthday!"
Even his uncle Qin Zhongming, who was in his fifties, couldn't be affectionate when he saw Hou Ping'an, he still held Hou Ping'an's arm with one hand, and said "Happy birthday." ”
The rest also smiled and said things like "Happy birthday to Hou Ping'an".
"Ping'an, you don't go home often, we are in a hurry to give you a life at this time, and it is rare to get together once, so don't think we are annoying!" Cousin Hou Tiebing said to Hou Ping'an, "My dad is going to come over a little late today, and it's no problem to finish eating." ”
His father is the eldest uncle Hou Sanyou.
"Sit all down, sit ......" Hou Ping'an took out a cigarette, one for each person, and a group of people surrounded Hou Ping'an like a moon and fell into the hall.
There are still some people sitting in the hall, all of whom are the same generation as Hou Ping'an, and they are younger than Hou Ping'an. There was a little boy of three or four years old who was making a fuss all over the floor. It's the child of his cousin Hou Tiebing, and his daughter-in-law is chatting with people, and she doesn't bother to care about him, so she rolls and flips things all over the ground.
"I didn't want to alarm ......," Hou Ping'an said with a smile.
"Yes, I see, even if you are 32 years old, you can do it, your mother agrees, that is, your father doesn't do it, what does it have a bad impact, how can you be 32 years old. It also cost relatives money. Uncle Qin Zhongming waved his hand unconcernedly, "The rules are set by people, and the habits are also changed by people." ”
"I'm going to make tea......" Hou Ping'an didn't want to talk about this kind of thing.
"It's all soaked, your mother has already soaked it for us...... second aunt Qin Lan hurriedly said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help, don't you arrange a table of mahjong?" ”
"Don't worry about that." Uncle Qin Zhongming said, waving his hand, "Go get busy, leave us alone." ”
In fact, when men are together, they are bragging and spanking. I can talk about the international trend from the parents.
The conversation made several people happy. Hou Tiebing suddenly asked, "Ping'an, I heard that you are engaged in engineering?" Is it the project of the Ouyaquan plant? ”
Hou Ping'an smiled: "I don't do engineering, I care for the elderly every day at home." ”
Hou Tiebing smiled and did not continue the topic.
Seeing Hou Tiebing suffer, Qin Zhongming sneered in his heart. What kind of project are you talking about on this occasion? Isn't that a blockage? I'm still a little too young to control it!
So Qin Zhongming never mentioned Hou Ping'an's business, just talked about some things when he was a child, and took out his mobile phone to show Hou Ping'an some photos of Hou Ping'an when he was a child.
Among them, there are photos of the full moon and red stripes, as well as when they were one or two years old, as well as kindergarten, and photos of elementary school and junior high school.
A group of people came over, sat and watched, stood and watched. Anyway, with Hou Ping'an as the center, a circle of people has been formed.
"He'an, do you have any friends here?"
At this time, Qin Lamei came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands, and looked at the appearance of this circle of people surrounding Hou Ping'an, and was a little satisfied, this is the stars holding the moon, her son is out of breath, and he has face in front of his relatives.
"I didn't tell anyone." Hou Ping'an said, "There shouldn't be anyone coming." ”
"If someone comes, just say it early, I'll prepare more food!" Qin Lamei also deliberately said, "Don't your boss friends come over?" ”
"I really didn't notice." Hou Ping'an swore an oath.
According to the custom in the countryside, on the birthday, I don't take the initiative to pick up guests to eat and drink. Unless it's a guest who comes by himself. And the more people come, the more it indicates that life will be prosperous at this age.
Although it is a pity, Qin Lamei feels that if there are one or two bosses, she will definitely be able to give her son a long face.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a car, and it came from the side of the road, and the engine turned off. There are guests coming. So they stood up and looked toward the side of the road at the door.
A luxury car with wings pulled up on the side of the road, and two women got out of it.
Tsk, that's beautiful, Hou Tiebing recognized it at a glance, the richest woman in Changling City - Luo Xiyu.
