At 4:12 p.m. on December 31, 1989, the last sunset in the eighties of the twentieth century.

The sunset is infinite, dyed yellow for the Beijing Film Studio, yellow for the capital, and yellow for the trees swaying in the cold wind and the green hills in the distance......

On the street, people come and go, traffic shuttles, cars and people walk through this afternoon, but also through this era full of ideals and freedom.

In the waiting hall of the train station, Tang Qin walked in the surging crowd, he wanted to go back to Qindao to attend the engagement of his second sister Tang Chu, but he didn't go back alone today.

Everyone looked for her, and when the familiar figure walked out of the car and looked around, Tang Qin waved his arms excitedly......

Ma Lan also saw him, and her face seemed to be ignited in an instant, and the colorful clouds made her bathe in golden light and shadow......

"Hey, what's going on?" The crowd was surging, Tang Qin finally squeezed over and took the big bag and small rolls in Ma Lan's hand, but the corners of his eyes were filled with crystal tears.

"It's fine." Ma Lan smiled slowly again, she smiled and looked at the person in front of her who was thinking about it day and night, yes, he was really standing beside her.

Tang Qin took off his gloves and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, this touch of crystal was the last whiteness of the eighties.

The train from Hefei to Beijing took the train from Beijing to Qindao, and outside the soft sleeper box, it was finally no longer noisy and stranger flow.

They are sitting on an express train with a T letter, ordinary trains run for a long time, each station and some only three or five people get off to stop, and the express train runs faster, generally only in the provincial capital, sub-provincial cities, and some prefecture-level city stations.

The soft sleeper is not only expensive, but also needs a certain administrative level or a certain status of special people to enjoy.

"This is my first time in Qindao......" Ma Lan snuggled up to Tang Qin's side, enjoying this rare world of two people and quiet time.

"I'll go to ...... often from now on" Tang Qin sniffed Ma Lan's hair gently, at this time, outside the window, the flat and fertile fields were covered with snow, and then looked at Ma Lan who was smiling in front of him, at this time, the scenery is good with you......

At night, there was silence in the carriage.

Unlike the hard sleeper, which has passengers walking around and making noise in the corridor at night, and the rest is affected, the soft sleeper is relatively quiet and safe, with better conditions, softer berths, and more expensive prices.

Listening to the soft sleeper next door with a passenger with their own tape recorder listening to Teresa Teng's songs in the carriage, Tang Qin looked at Ma Lan who was asleep.

Ma Lan's eyelashes are very long, and his face is also very calm, and his happy face has a radiance that radiates from the heart.

Tang Qin slowly stood up and walked to Ma Lan's side, but Ma Lan immediately opened his eyes, "Hey, I can't sleep...... Tang Qin lay down beside Ma Lan.

Neither of them spoke, quietly listening to the clangling of the train......

"Well, you say, I met my aunt, uncle, sister...... I, what should I do......" Ma Lan was still apprehensive in his heart, and finally broke the peace.

Tang Qin smiled, "You should ask in reverse, my parents, my mother and my sister saw you, what should they ......do?"

The second sister Tang Chu called the Beijing Film Studio and asked Tang Qin to go home to attend her engagement wedding, and also conveyed the request of her mother Zhao Mingli, "You will be twenty-six after the New Year, it's time to take your girlfriend home, I think, Ma Lan had better ......"

……

The sea breeze hunts, the cold wind howls, and Qindao is already a cold day.

On the shore of the Yellow Sea, the waves are frozen into various shapes, like yellow jasper, and like carved sculptures in stone.

At this chilly train station, it was crowded.

"Uncle, aunt......"

The simple two salutations immediately made Tang Changyuan and Zhao Mingli, who had been standing here for a long time, smile, "Hey, hey......" The two of them hurriedly agreed.

"I've been on the train all the way, I'm tired, are you hungry, let's go, let's go home, it's warm at home......"

"Mom, I'm hungry." Tang Qin handed the luggage to the future second brother-in-law, he and the second sister Tang Chu were both school teachers, and the second brother-in-law took the luggage with a smile, but it caused the second sister's eyes.

Hey, brother-in-law calls brother-in-law, don't use it in vain.

"Mom, you didn't listen, I'm hungry......"

"I asked Ma Lan, but I didn't ask you." Zhao Mingli held Ma Lan's arm affectionately, and she didn't have time to take care of her son.

"Comrade Little Monk, let me ask you, what does it feel like to fall out of favor?" The second sister Tang Chu smiled and gave Tang Qin a moment on her head, she was used to playing when she shaved her head, and her subordinates were still merciless when she had long hair.

Tang Qin looked at his mother's smiling face, she is a Peking Opera actor, Ma Lan is a Huangmei Opera actor, and the two of them have endless things to say on the stage......

"Well, your second sister Ming'er is engaged, let's have dinner together, relatives and friends get to know each other......" Zhao Mingli became more and more happy the more she spoke, walked to the taxi, pulled Ma Lan into the car, and the car drove away directly.

Only a messy family in the wind remains, Tang Chang looked at the future second son-in-law apologetically, well, shouldn't he be the protagonist today?

……

There are several things in a person's life that are very sacred, and engagement is one of them.

In the hearts of Qinwan people, engagement is second only to marriage.

“…… You AH are engaged, what do the man's family need to prepare......" Zhao Mingli returned home, finished eating, and did not let go of Ma Lan's hand.

"Well, we are engaged in Qindao, and the man's family has to prepare some things, what engagement rings, gift money (commonly known as engagement money) and Xiaoliu, according to the tradition of the elders, we also need to prepare two red envelopes, two red belts, and two sets of clothes......"

"Xiao Chu, go wash the apples." Zhao Mingli turned her head and instructed her daughter, turned her head and continued, "Qindao dialect, mother-in-law's jacket is worn until she is old, and her mother-in-law has to prepare two sets of clothes, and the cotton jacket is indispensable, and the cotton jacket is intimate and has a face......

Listening to his mother's excited words, Tang Chu washed the apples of the entire fruit bowl, Tang Qin reached out and wanted to take it, she snapped her brother's hand off, "Give the guests to eat first." ”

She was so sour when she didn't eat apples, she was going to get engaged tomorrow, shouldn't her mother talk to her about herself, but Zhao Mingli seemed to have forgotten about her daughter.

"Anything goes." Ma Lan glanced at Tang Qin, and the two of them were full of sweetness in their eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Guo, eat apples." Tang Yuanyuan, the old man, had no choice but to greet his second son-in-law in person.

"By the way, tomorrow, your second sister will go to the Treasure Gold Building to pick up jewelry, and Tang Qin will take you with me." Seeing Ma Lan, Zhao Mingli was satisfied with everything, for fear that she would run away, so she simply instructed her old son to pick out a piece of jewelry tomorrow morning, this is not an engagement of engagement.

Oh, Malan smiled shyly, she lowered her head, and when she looked up again, her face was flushed, and her eyes were flowing......

……

Caibao Golden Building, a time-honored brand in Qindao, most of the newlyweds are engaged here to choose jewelry.

Ma Lan stepped out of the car, and she bit her lip shyly and looked at the signboard of the Golden Building.

Countless times in her dreams, she would dream that Tang Qin put the ring on her finger.

"Let's go, what do you want?" Tang Qin looked at Ma Lan with a happy face, and took her hand without hesitation.
