After hanging up the phone, the three of them decided to change their taste and eat kebabs at a barbecue stall near the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As night falls, the lanterns are turned on, a small table is set, the breeze blows on my face, and I feel it all at once.
Shi Nian calmly sat down on the plastic bench and waved to the boss. He obviously didn't drink, but his mouth was full of alcohol:
"Boss, here are twenty skewers of mutton, twenty skewers of beef, twenty skewers of pork belly, five skewers of duck intestines...ten skewers of enoki mushrooms, ten skewers of sweet potato skins, and ten skewers of potato chips!"
Ji Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard her finish naming a long list of dishes without any hesitation: "Eat it often?"
Shi Nian smiled simply: "It's not that often, I eat it two or three times a week."
Ji Yu took out a paper towel, slowly wiped off the grease on the table, and asked with a smile:
"What about hot pot? You eat it two or three times a week?"
Shi Nian seemed to have heard a horror story, shaking his head and waving his hands, and said eloquently:
"I think the key is that I can't afford it! A pot is NT$39, plus an additional NT$10 for side dishes. I haven't even opened my mouth to eat after entering the restaurant, and NT$49 is gone. Aren't I heartbroken?"
Ji Yu looked at her "unspeakable pain" look, with a gentle smile on his face:
"Although the Shi family's business is sluggish, they are not so poor that they can't even afford hot pot, right?"
"How should I explain this kind of thing to you?"
Shi Nian sighed after the vicissitudes of life: "If stinginess has a rank, that old woman from the Shi family will definitely be the number one player on the Heavenly Ranking.
How far does she dig? A bottle of Coke has to be mixed with water three times. When the dung truck passes by the house, she has to scoop up a bowl to save money."
Ji Yu threw the paper ball into the trash can and joked:
"So your stinginess is influenced by her?"
Shi Nian glanced at him and corrected him seriously:
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not stingy. This is called rational allocation of limited funds. People in the world say: This province should spend more money and go to the bar on a bicycle."
The boss, who was working hard in front of the charcoal stove, poked his head out after hearing this:
"Bar lady, you order so many skewers, don't you want a drink?"
Shi Nian was about to symbolically ask Ji Yu and his old mother for their opinions, when Xia Yingqiu's cheerful voice suddenly sounded not far away:
"No need to order wine, I'll bring it!"
Soon, with the help of the driver, she came to the barbecue stall, holding two bottles of champagne in her arms. They were packaged in collector's edition gift boxes. They looked very valuable at first glance and were incompatible with the simple roadside stalls.
The boss looked at it twice and then silently retracted his head.
I have to say that this time, he is at the bottom of his class.
After the skewers were served, Xia Yingqiu poured everyone a glass of champagne in turn:
"Come, cheers to celebrate the girl's return to being single!"
Shi Nian held the disposable cup and moved his lips slightly. He had something to say, but after thinking about it, he held it back.
When a glass of wine enters your stomach, you feel delicious. The taste is pure and fragrant, not intoxicating at all. It is indeed a wine worth five figures, completely different from those cheap wines that are poured as soon as you dip it.
Shi Nian got interested, picked up two skewers, and drank another cup for himself.
After two glasses of wine, my head felt dizzy, and I felt like I was flying up to heaven, soaring through the clouds and mist.
"Life is short, fill it up! Fill it up!"
Shi Nian was so drunk that she poured two glasses in a row. Gudong, gudong, all the wine that should have been savored was poured into her stomach like a cow.
After eating a few bites of the kebabs, something doesn’t feel right.
People are confused, their heads are dizzy, and their bodies are boiling.
Especially the stomach, it seems like there is an Ultraman fighting monsters inside.
"You guys eat, I'll go to the bathroom."
Shi Nian put down the skewers, stood up with his hands on the table, and walked around the barbecue stall, but couldn't find the toilet.
The boss stuck out his big shiny head and pointed to the west, "Eight hundred meters ahead, there is a public toilet."
Shi Nian thanked him and walked forward unsteadily. After taking a few steps, he stretched out a hand from behind and held her wrist.
The bright street lights poured down, shining in the man's charming peach blossom eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the little girl with rosy cheeks with a smile:
"With this amount of alcohol, who will give you the courage to pour a second drink?"
Shi Nian glared at him unconvinced, "What's wrong with my drinking? Am I not doing well?"
Ji Yu raised his eyebrows, "Well, it's quite good, so good that I can't even tell the difference."
Shi Nian looked around, reached out and gestured twice, and while changing direction, he muttered dissatisfiedly:
"I know, I just want to see the scenery."
"Well, look at the scenery."
Ji Yu agreed, holding her hand and walking forward slowly until she reached the door of the women's toilet before letting go:
"Go in, and remember to call me if anything happens."
At this time, Shi Nian's mind could no longer turn around. He nodded in confusion, turned around and walked towards the toilet. When he turned the corner, his hands and feet moved inconsistently, and he almost tripped.
"Be careful."
Ji Yu stretched out his hand to help her, and looked at her clumsiness, feeling worried and amused at the same time.
Some people are born with deceptive faces.
It looks like I can drink two kilograms, but I actually feel dizzy after just two cups.
And two glasses of champagne.
The night breeze was slightly cool. The man gathered up his suit jacket and stood guard at the door dutifully for more than ten minutes. The sound of vomiting in the women's restroom went from constant to quiet, and finally to no sound at all.
He was worried and was about to make a phone call to ask about the situation. When he turned around, Shi Nian walked out with his satchel and disheveled hair.
The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly, and Shi Nian's originally distracted and blurred eyes suddenly widened, and then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a scornful smile:
"Hey, even the toilet security guards are so handsome these days?"
"Security?" Ji Yu sneered, "Did you go to the toilet and wash away your brain?"
Shi Nian took half a step back and pointed at him with disdain, "Tsk, tsk, he looks good, but he has a bad temper and will scold others. I don't like him. Goodbye."
As he spoke, he smoothed the messy hair hanging down the side of his face and staggered away, humming a tuneless song as he walked:
"Lulu, lulu, lulu, lulu, move forward bravely, there will be prizes if you move forward, I want to be the first..."
Ji Yu sighed and consciously stepped up to follow. Not far away, Xia Yingqiu called and asked about the whereabouts of the two of them.
He glanced at the blooming flower trees on the roadside and answered lazily:
"On the way back, soon... hiss, Shi Nian, are you going to heaven?"
Shi·Monkey·Nian automatically ignored his loud voice to stop him, held the street lamp post with both hands, climbed up slowly, and chanted slogans impassionedly:
"Moon Moon, don't sleep, I'm a superhero, ggbo
d, I’m here to save you!”
moon?
Ji Yu raised his head and glanced at the white-lit street lamp. He understood instantly and rushed over, grabbed her ankle and dragged her down.
"Where is your moon?"
Ji Yu straightened her shoulders and pointed at the bright moon hanging in the sky, his tone was gentle and helpless.
"where?"
When Shi Nian stood up to check, his legs went weak halfway up, and his whole body fell into his arms.
His shoulders hit his chest, his hair brushed his cheeks, and the night breeze carried a light fragrance.
