Lin Feifei looked at me and spoke hesitantly:
"My dear, what if my uncle and aunt don't like me?"
I sighed, held her in my arms, smiled softly and comforted her, "You are so beautiful and sensible, how could my parents not like you?"
"I just have a feeling. When I stayed at your house last time I was filming, I could feel that my uncle and aunt didn't seem to like me that much."
I kissed her gently and said, "Don't think blindly. I will take you back during the Chinese New Year. They will definitely be very happy."
"I hope so!"
Lin Feifei sighed softly, I didn't know what to say to her.
She looks weird, but she is actually very sensitive at heart. This personality is related to her native family. I want to use love to warm her battered heart, but it is doomed to have a long way to go.
Lin Feifei and I discussed that we would drive home on New Year's Eve. She would have to stay at her post on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. She would not have a holiday until New Year's Eve. Zhou Shutong would leave one day earlier than us. On the day she left, I would help her Loaded the luggage into the taxi.
"Happy New Year," she said to me.
I also smiled and wished her a Happy New Year.
After I watched Zhou Shutong leave, I watched the taxi disappear from sight for a long time before silently going upstairs.
I am going home tomorrow, and I was in a hurry to pack the luggage I needed to prepare for home. When Lin Feifei came back in the evening, she took me to the mall non-stop to choose gifts for my parents. Read the book
I smiled and said no, it would be the best gift for her to accompany me back. Lin Feifei rolled her eyes and immediately suppressed me with force.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the shopping malls are full of people buying New Year goods. I suddenly feel that I have no sense of ritual for the New Year, and I have never bought myself any decent clothes every year.
Lin Feifei took me to pick and choose, and finally bought a tea gift box and tea set for my dad, and a box of donkey hide gelatin tablets for my mom. I watched her spend money and my heart started to bleed. If this makes me Dad knew the price, so he had to scold me for spending money blindly.
Lin Feifei wanted to buy something more, but I flatly refused.
Early the next morning.
The wind was biting, everything was quiet and cool, and as soon as a hazy light appeared in the sky, we set off.
It takes about six or seven hours to drive to our home county. The highway is full of cars. The surrounding cars are like movie lenses, passing by us quickly. The mountains in the distance look so leisurely in the sun, as if they are silently witnessing With our travels.
Driving a tram on the highway, the battery has always made me nervous. When the battery is almost consumed, I have to charge it quickly. During the Spring Festival, there are long queues at charging piles in many service areas.
Fortunately, it was our first time to charge in the service area and we had a spot. After plugging in the fast charger, Lin Feifei said to me: "It will take half an hour to charge. Let's do something to pass the time!"
I chuckled, "Then let's take care of our physical needs first!"
Lin Feifei's pretty face turned red, "Fuck you, can you be a little more serious? It's such a winter, you're not afraid of getting cold."
I deliberately opened my eyes wide, "What are you thinking about! I'm talking about eating! Eating is also a physiological need, okay? It's not just the things you think about in your head."
"..."
Lin Feifei didn't believe what I said, and gritted her teeth and insisted on searching on Baidu. But after she entered whether eating was considered a physiological need, her eyes suddenly widened, "Damn it! How come it really counts?"
"Of course, can you think of anything else besides my beautiful body?"
Lin Feifei laughed angrily, saying that she simply threatened with force.
"Go away! It's so annoying."
Women just like to talk sarcastically. The corners of her mouth are obviously raised, but she doesn't hold back.
The food in the service area was extremely expensive, so I took out the self-heating pot I had prepared in advance from the trunk, and then prepared a full meal.
While we were waiting for the rice to be cooked, a girl of about eight or nine years old opposite us kept staring longingly at us enjoying ourselves.
pot.
Her mother was soaking braised beef noodles in hot water. The girl stared at the hot pot in front of us, blinked her big eyes, and couldn't help but ask Lin Feifei: "Sister, what is that you made?"
Lin Feifei smiled and said in a clear voice: "Self-heated pot! It tastes like braised chicken."
"Is it delicious?" the girl asked crisply.
"Have you never eaten hotpot?" Lin Feifei was taken aback and asked in astonishment.
The girl shook her head, then glanced at her mother.
This eldest sister looked about thirty-five or sixty-years-old and was dressed simply. After hearing what her daughter said, a wry smile appeared on her face and she chatted with us for a few words.
Lin Feifei pushed the self-pleasure pot in front of the girl, "How about I trade with you, sister? I want to eat your instant noodles. Are you willing to trade with sister?"
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was about to change with Lin Feifei happily, but the eldest sister said something to her.
Lin Feifei smiled and gave the eldest sister some ideological work in a gentle voice, "It's okay, sister. I usually eat instant noodles at home, but I really can't get used to the self-healing pot."
What she said undoubtedly dispelled the eldest sister's embarrassment. The eldest sister tried her best to smile. From the clothes she and her children wore, she could feel the difficult side of life.
After the hot pot was cooked, Lin Feifei helped her take down the layer containing the food, poured in the sauce, and stirred it before pushing it in front of the little girl.
"Okay, you can eat!" Lin Feifei's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
Her image in my heart instantly grew taller, and her smile was like a light, making people feel the beautiful side of life.
The little girl ate voraciously, quite like Lin Feifei's usual attitude. The amount of hot pot was very small. I guessed that this portion was not enough for her, so I pushed my portion in front of her, "It's not enough! I I’ll give this to you too.”
The eldest sister felt a little sorry, but after Lin Feifei and I's persuasion, she accepted our kindness. The eldest sister dug out some ham sausages and instant noodles from her bag and stuffed them into me.
After the little girl saw that her mother agreed, she happily accepted my offer.
"Thank you, uncle." Her voice was clear and her smile was filled with innocence and sweetness.
"Call me brother!" This was my last stubbornness.
Lin Feifei slapped me, "You are so grown up, and you want a little girl to call you brother." 「
"Men will always be young until they die. I am just tough-talking and will become tougher and tougher. I will not accept any argument."
Lin Feifei nodded, "Well, not only that, in a few years you will not only have a hard mouth, but also a hard liver!"
"..."
I was dumbfounded by her. Lin Feifei had already made the instant noodles and pushed them in front of me with a smile.
"Okay! Eat it quickly! I'm just kidding you."
Looking at the bowl of hot instant noodles in front of me, my thoughts were suddenly brought back to the past.
When I was in college, I ate instant noodles almost every day mixed with the smell of smelly feet from the dormitory and the smell of sweat. At that time, the monthly living expenses were tight, and being able to feed my stomach was king. After I went to work, I rarely ate instant noodles. Now that I think about it, I really miss the days when I had instant noodles with Zhao Yue, Wu Shuang and the others every day, but time can never go back.
The aroma of instant noodles fills the rest area, and people coming and going are holding hot instant noodles in their hands, forming a vivid picture of all living beings. The steam is steaming, the noodles are fragrant, and there is a smell of fireworks.
In big cities, I am used to seeing white-collar beauties dressed up exquisitely and holding star daddy. Sometimes it is easy to get lost in the bustling city. The fireworks in front of you are the real side of life.
We chatted with this eldest sister while eating. Before we separated, Lin Feifei "reluctantly gave up her love" and gave the little girl a bag of snacks as a gift.
The Spring Festival highway is like a flowing river. We shuttled through it, and there were too many cars. It was originally a six-hour drive, but we drove for eight hours. We set off in the morning under the stars and the moon, and it was not until a bright red sunset hung on the horizon that we finally arrived. base area.
This was the first time I returned to my hometown in the countryside since my house burned down. The dilapidated house
The house has been replaced by a brand new courtyard.
Walking into a small courtyard and looking at the blue bricks and white walls at the back, I suddenly felt like I was taking a break.
In order to give my parents a surprise, I didn’t tell them in advance that I had brought Lin Feifei back. Lin Feifei and I walked into the yard carrying our things. When the old couple saw Lin Feifei coming, they were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths. They complained that I didn’t report in advance. If they had known that Lin Feifei was coming, the New Year’s Eve dinner would have been more sumptuous.
I never have any expectations for the New Year's Eve dinner, because our family's style is to keep everything simple, with nothing but dumplings. Every time I check the WeChat Moments during the New Year and see other people's lavish meals, it is a kind of devastation to me.
My parents greeted Lin Feifei warmly. The meeting and negotiation between the two parties were harmonious, but there was a hint of embarrassment in their enthusiasm. After a cordial conversation, my mother asked me to accompany Lin Feifei. She instructed my father to go to the supermarket immediately to buy groceries to enhance the quality of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
I don't have any confidence in my dad's grocery shopping. His favorite food is cooked food, especially pork belly. I'm really afraid that he will serve large intestine sashimi and stir-fried pork tongue on the table.
Don't blame me for not having confidence in him. He had a history of doing this before. One year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Kuang Li came to visit my house. He asked Kuang Li if she liked to eat cooked food. Kuang Li said she did. I didn't know at the time that he and Kuang Li He had a different understanding of cooked food. At that time, he bought a piece of white-cut pig tongue, and Kuang Li's face turned green.
From then on, every year when Kuang Li comes back, I will personally check what she eats. This time too, I have prepared the ingredients in advance before going home. I took out the pre-braised beef with soy sauce, braised pig trotters, and braised pork trotters from the trunk. Chicken wings and gizzards, just put them on a plate and you’ll get a braised food platter, and stir-fry two more vegetables.
In previous years, when I went home to celebrate the New Year, the atmosphere in our house was solemn. Although Kuang Li had accompanied me home before, as soon as she arrived at my house, she acted like she was not going to touch Yang Chun Shui. Although Lin Feifei was an average cook, she was not good at cooking. Limited, but in the spirit of learning, I took the initiative to follow my mother into the kitchen and asked softly:
"Auntie, what can I do for you?"
I ruthlessly demolished her, "Eat!"
Lin Feifei rolled her eyes at me. With my parents here, she maintained restraint for the time being.
My mother came roaring in the air and slapped me hard, "Don't talk nonsense! You take Feifei out to play for a while, and the meal will be ready in a while."
Lin Feifei smiled sweetly and whispered to my mother: "It's okay, auntie, don't argue with him. He treats me like this when we are at home. I'm used to it."
I:"……"
