Chapter 25: A small gathering at the foot of the mountain

"Let's go today and go to the barbecue restaurant!" Xu Yue said.

In Xiashan City in winter, it snowed lightly, and there were shops in the city with gates, and it was estimated that they all went back to the countryside for the New Year.

Inside the barbecue restaurant, lamb skewers are neatly arranged on white plates, steaming hot and carrying the scent of cumin.

At the checkout, a girl stepped out of the kitchen.

Zhang Xiaomeng's clear deer eyes flashed, and when he saw Xu Yue, he hurriedly pounced.

"Xiaomeng! Do you remember us? Xu Yue stood up.

Before Xu Yue could react, Zhang Xiaomeng hugged her.

"Yes, of course I do."

The other three looked at Zhang Xiaomeng, who was holding Xu Yue's hand, and their faces were a little dark.

Yang Ziming drank tea elegantly.

Su Zixun chewed and ate the skewers slowly.

Xu Yansheng turned the bamboo stick boringly.

"Ah, long time no see, how's it going, are you in junior high school?" Xu Yue asked with concern.

Zhang Xiaomeng nodded vigorously: "Yes, I went to the city, an ordinary middle school, and now my grades are not bad, so I expect to do well in the high school entrance examination and go to a good college." ”

"That's great, study hard and try to do well in the exam." Xu Yue admonished.

When it was time to close, the boss and the hostess thanked the four of them.

The proprietress was nearly forty years old, with black hair mixed with silver hair, a yellow face and thin muscles, especially obvious cheekbones, sparse eyebrows, a rough nose, and dark lips, but the eyes of the four of them were extremely sincere.

"I want to thank you for the money, now our barbecue restaurant business is not bad, tomorrow we plan to go to Mingbo Lake for a walk, do you want to be together?" The hostess asked.

"Rowing is free there, do you want to come along?" Zhang Xiaomeng flashed starry eyes at Xu Yue.

Xu Yue hesitated: "I have time, but I don't know about them... Can we go boating together? ”

Xu Yansheng stepped forward: "If my sister goes, of course I will go." ”

Yang Ziming held Xu Yue's hand: "As Xia Shu's best friend, I will go too." ”

Su Zixun smiled: "Boating is good for relieving stress, so I'll go too." ”

Xu Yue clapped his hands: "Ah, that's great, everyone can be together!" ”

In winter, the outskirts of Summersan City are a beautiful green, the treetops still have the remnants of yesterday's snow, and on Lake Myeongba, the water is still clear, and even as in summer, it is full of life.

Xu Yue glanced at her phone, it was now minus 10 degrees, she was wearing two pants, plush boots, a sweater and a sweater, and a down jacket on the outside.

"It's unreasonable, it's minus 10 degrees now, normally speaking, the lake will freeze, is it because the salinity is too high?" Xu Yue looked at the flowing lake and muttered to herself.

"Miss Xu—" Zhang Xiaomeng beckoned in the distance.

In the mountains and forests by the lake, there are three wooden rowboats parked, and there are oars on both sides of the rowboats.

"It's coming!" Xu Yue hurriedly ran to the middle of the group.

"Are we just paddling in the lake?" Yang Ziming was a little impatient.

Su Zixun: "It would be nice if there was a new way." ”

Zhang Xiaomeng looked embarrassed in front of several rich young ladies and young masters: "Ah...... I'm sorry, but that's how my family usually goes out for entertainment. ”

Xu Yue immediately went out to solve the siege: "Eh, I thought of a great way." ”

"In what way?"

Xu Yue: "Let's race, a boat can seat two people, we can row faster, whoever gets to the opposite shore first, who wins, how about it?" ”

Zhang Xiaomeng: "Good idea! ”

Yang Ziming: "Xia Shu, I want to share a boat with you!" ”

Xu Yansheng: "My sister and I are a family, of course, my sister and I are in the same boat. ”

Su Zixun: "You don't seem to be very good at rowing..... I have learned to row professionally and have competed professionally. ”

"Let's go! Let's go on that boat! Xu Yue took Zhang Xiaomeng's hand and looked back at a few people: "Hurry up and catch up, otherwise Xiaomeng and I will be the first later!" ”
