There are roughly two types of parents in this world.
One is for giving birth to a daughter, and the other is for giving birth to a son.
Those who give birth to a daughter are always worried that their daughter will bring back a wild boy from outside at some point.
Those who have sons look forward to the day when their sons will be born, and directly take other people’s daughters home.
The former sharpens knives, while the latter beats gongs and drums.
The uncle raised his glass generously.
"Hahaha, the little girl has a great capacity for drinking! Where is the little girl from?"
"My family is from Tokyo." The pretty girl raised her glass and said, "Uncle, drink."
"Tokyo? Japan, Japan is good. Our whole family went to Tokyo some time ago, and the environment there is good." The uncle took out his cigarette case, held a cigarette in his mouth, and searched for a long time but couldn't find a lighter.
Eriyi picked up the lighter from the dining table and wanted to light a cigarette for her uncle.
The uncle smiled broadly, lowered his head, and put the cigarette butt in front of the lighter that the girl held up.
Who would have thought that the flames would spread so fast, and no one knew who had adjusted the valve to the maximum, burning her uncle's shiny little parted hair. Eriyi quickly got up and helped her uncle pat down the fire.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Seeing this, the uncle quickly comforted the kind-hearted little girl. He touched his hair and said boldly, "It's a trivial matter. Burning your hair is nothing. We, the men of the Lu family, are all good men."
"Uesugi-san is so beautiful, does he have a boyfriend?" In order to show off the excellent qualities of a hero, the uncle didn't even go to the toilet, but instead raised a glass to the little girl. He was in great spirits, and his smile was very kind and kind, quite like a big bad wolf.
True to form, this big bad wolf just wants to take Little Red Riding Hood home to his nephew.
The aunt rolled her eyes. Whose daughter would inexplicably travel across the ocean to go home with a foreign boy? Does this relationship still need to be confirmed?
Lu Mingfei didn't come back last night. They thought that this guy went to have an all-night party with his high school classmates. Who would have thought that he would just bring back a girl the next morning.
The uncle had just gone out in the morning and before he opened the car door, he saw Lu Mingfei leading a pretty little girl to the community. He decisively asked for half a day off and asked his wife to clean up at noon.
At this moment, my aunt squinted her eyes, looking at the girl who was suddenly brought back by Lu Mingfei with the sharp eyes of a peerless expert who has been fighting in the vegetable market for many years.
She has an elegant sitting posture, dignified manners, fair skin, not to mention her appearance... This is by no means a girl that ordinary people can raise.
Why did Lu Mingfei go to Japan? How could he kidnap such a high-quality girl? Could it be that she was a classmate of Kassel College?
"No boyfriend."
Uesugi-san's soft and soft voice, coupled with her clear and not demonic makeup, made my uncle feel hot in his heart, and he secretly slapped his thigh.
He could tell that this girl was very good, with dignified manners and temperament. Her soft-spoken words made her look like a well-behaved and lovely girl. Her family background seemed to be good, and most of them were incomparable. Who could support such a good girl?
Instead of Gong, it’s the turn of their old Lu family. Now that Ming Fei’s parents are not here, it’s up to him as an uncle to let this girl have a good experience of the customs of their Lu family!
"Uesugi-san is so beautiful and doesn't have a boyfriend yet?" The uncle slammed the table and said regretfully, "Isn't this the same as our Mingfei? Our Mingfei is also the eldest, and his appearance and character are both top-notch.
My family background is also pretty good, my parents are engaged in scientific research abroad, and it sounds like they come from a scholarly family, hahahaha."
On the sidelines, Lu Mingfei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The corner of Auntie's mouth twitched. When she was looking for a girlfriend for Lu Mingze, she had never seen this old guy take such initiative. He spent the whole time drinking with Director Chen.
Classmate Uesugi tilted his head slightly and said with shining eyes: "Are Mingfei's parents abroad?"
"Yes!" Uncle said firmly, "They are alumni of Cassel College! By the way, how did Uesugi-san meet our Mingfei? Uesugi-san is also from Cassel College?"
The uncle couldn't help but wonder, and began to wonder in his mind that if the two little guys were from the same school, wouldn't they be in love for a long time?
Eriyi nodded: "Well, I am also from Kassel College. What kind of people are Mingfei's parents?"
The uncle was stunned, why is this girl so interested in Mingfei's parents?
What a good thing!
"They are all very good people!" Uncle said with a thumbs up, "They will definitely like Uesugi-san when they see him!"
"Really?"
"Uncle never lies!"
"I respect uncle, and uncle drinks." Huiliyi said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, okay, drink, drink!"
Under the little girl's sweet smile, the uncle rarely felt flattered.
He also gradually discovered that the girl's attitude toward Ming Fei seemed very ambiguous, and immediately decided to launch a general attack.
"Uesugi-san, what do you think of our Mingfei?" Uncle laughed and joked, "Are you interested in becoming our Chinese wife?"
Eriyi blinked and said in a soft voice: "I like Mingfei the most."
The uncle immediately panicked, and the aunt was also stunned.
Both of them could see some signs, but they didn't expect the little girl's answer to be so direct. Are all Japanese girls so direct?
"...Uesugi-san likes our Mingfei so much, why haven't you dated our Mingfei yet?"
"We are now taking the promotion exam."
"Advanced exam?" Uncle asked blankly.
"Yes." Eriki nodded, "My girlfriend has been promoted to be my fiancée, and the test content is to meet her parents, so I came to have a drink with my uncle."
Lu Mingfei on the side choked immediately, coughed a few times, and muttered in his heart: Uncle, uncle, this is what you told her in your previous life.
The uncle was so excited that he asked, regardless of whether this was a traditional Japanese custom, "Uesugi-san and our Akira are going to get engaged?"
"Yes, my family has agreed." Eriyi raised her glass and said, "Uncle, drink."
"Drink! Drink!" Uncle Qianyun said boldly, "If Eriyi drinks me down today, I will pass the exam! Don't worry, we Lu family men speak with spit and nail! Come on, drink!"
Lu Mingfei exclaimed beside him that the beautiful girl who was both charming and able to drink was indeed the good drinking buddy that the uncles dreamed of. If she was coupled with the identity of the niece and daughter-in-law, it would be even more normal.
He wasn't worried that Eri would get drunk. He had drank with Eri and knew that she would blush at most but never get drunk. The dragon's blood constitution helped her break down alcohol at a high speed.
When the wine was in full swing, my uncle began to talk about everything from auspicious days in Feng Shui to the increase in housing prices in the surrounding area in recent years. Hui Liyi smiled sweetly throughout the whole process and raised glasses frequently.
The uncle would not refuse a drink, but by the end of the drink his eyes were blurred and he started to hold onto Eri and talk about Akira's childhood.
Eryi listened without blinking her eyes. As soon as her uncle stopped, he raised his glass and urged him to continue and said, "Don't stop." Lu Mingfei was so embarrassed that he could dig out a room and two living rooms.
After drinking until the end, his uncle was finally defeated. Lu Mingfei carried his uncle back to his room, and then came back to clean up the mess with his aunt.
The aunt looked back at Eriyi who was on the sofa, her face burning like a blush, and whispered: "Where did you deceive the little girl from? Do her parents really agree?"
Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "I had a drink with her father before, so I have met her parents."
"Where are your parents? You haven't seen them yet?"
Lu Mingfei thought for a while: "They will be free almost next semester. Then I will take Eryi to meet them."
The aunt snatched the rag from his hand and said disgustedly: "Okay, go and clean it up for your uncle. Don't let him vomit on the bed."
After that, he drove him out of the kitchen.
As soon as Lu Mingfei came out of the kitchen, he saw a drunken man waving to him through the crack of the bedroom door.
"Uncle, are you not drunk?" Lu Mingfei said in shock.
The uncle smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were clear. He closed the door carefully and said seriously: "Are you kidding me? Your uncle, I have been through so many wine bars. How can a man who comes in a big storm be defeated by a little girl? That's just pretense."
Yes, if I were not drunk, would it be possible for the little girl to fail the promotion?"
Lu Mingfei laughed dumbly.
No wonder his aunt asked him to clean up for his uncle. Sure enough, the person who knows this man best in the world is the woman who has been busy in the kitchen all her life.
"How do you feel about this little girl? Do you like her?" The uncle said with a rare serious look, "Since I brought her home, I guess I like her. I warn you, you can't let such a good girl down.
I can tell that this little girl really likes you."
Lu Mingfei asked curiously: "Where did uncle find out?"
"Eyes." The uncle showed an expression like a veteran in love. Although as far as Lu Mingfei knew, he and his aunt were married for the first time. He said with a deep look, "The way the little girl looks at you is different from the way she looks at you.
Her eyes are literally sparkling. You can tell if a girl likes you by looking at her eyes. If she looks like you all in her eyes, then she must love you to the core of her being."
Lu Mingfei's eyes were a little dazed. He had known this for a long time. Compared with his impeccable appearance and figure, Eryi's eyes were always misty and lacked brilliance.
When looking at him, the fog cleared and he was full of agility and love.
When a girl looks at a boy with love written in her eyes, how could she not love him?
"...You have to understand some things by yourself, so I won't bother you anymore. You have grown up, and it's time to plan for your future. I've seen this girl for you. She's pretty good. You want to marry her.
Uncle absolutely agrees..."
"You don't have to worry about your parents. They will definitely agree. If they don't agree, uncle will tell them... I haven't come back to see you after so many years... But they will have to come back on your wedding day, right?"
"Speaking of which, are you planning to come back after graduation? Don't follow the example of your parents who stay outside for seven or eight years. You will also have children in the future. Your aunt and I can help you take care of your brother before he gets married...
…”
The man who said he didn't talk much kept talking.
Lu Mingfei suddenly discovered that this man had a lot of white hair in his smooth parted hair, and his facial lines were also much looser.
Sure enough, time is the biggest assassin, and no one can escape its evil hand.
He gently hugged the old man in front of him.
"Okay, I understand. Even if I don't come back to develop my career after graduation, I will come back to see you often. Your nephew is also successful now, and he will be fine in the future. From now on, you can go downstairs and the building next door with a teacup in your hand every day.
A few of my uncles and uncles play chess and mahjong, and when they have nothing to do, they will brag about your nephew. There is nothing wrong with overpowering them. If you really miss me, call me and I will buy a plane ticket for the next day.
Come back to see you, or take you directly abroad to have fun..."
"You brat!" Uncle scolded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you become successful. Go, go, go, I'm drunk now, take good care of my girl. Are you still living at home these days?"
"Probably gone." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"When will you go back to school?"
"It's almost time. I'll go back in a few days."
"So urgent?"
"I made an appointment with Eryi to take her on a trip." Lu Mingfei shrugged.
"Okay, remember to come back for dinner before you leave." Uncle said earnestly, "Also, pay attention to safety, you are still college students."
"You should rest quickly!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly sent his uncle to bed. His uncle muttered and wanted to say a few more words, but finally he lay down on the bed obediently.
Lu Mingfei walked out of the room and found Eriyi on the sofa covered with a thin blanket. The fat figure in the kitchen was still busy.
Lu Mingfei smiled, walked to the kitchen, hugged the middle-aged woman and said softly: "Thank you for always leaving a place for me in this room all these years."
…
…
"Mingfei, aren't we staying at uncle's house?" The girl lying in Lu Mingfei's arms whispered, her face was stained with a layer of sunset that was the same as the sky, and it was extremely bright.
Lu Mingfei leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, saying softly: "We are going back to our home."
"my home?"
"Well, our own home."
The evening breeze stirred the trees in this old community, and the rustling of large leaves was accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.
Lu Mingfei stood downstairs and looked up. This building that he once thought was very tall was no longer so unattainable. Instead, the outer edges of the walls were mottled and old.
Eriyi jumped out of his arms, took his hand, and gently snuggled against his side. The evening breeze lifted her soft hair that fell behind her back.
"I really want to get to know you earlier." Lu Mingfei suddenly smiled.
Eriyi tilted her head and said nothing, but her doubtful eyes said everything.
"This way I can hold your hand and go to and from school together."
He shrugged, took Eri Yi's hand and walked out of the community.
They walked along the leafy street with the evening breeze, and the evening bus came diagonally from the end of the road.
Lu Mingfei took out two coins and threw them into the unmanned ticket window. With a clear "clang" sound, he pulled Eri to sit in the rear seat of the car.
This old bus started slowly and swayed forward. The wheels ran over the broken leaves on the ground. The lush paulownia trees on both sides rolled over the forest sea like waves. The twilight sunlight in the sky filtered through the forest leaves and the car windows, creating light and shadow.
changing on their faces.
Eriki sat by the window, staring blankly at countless telephone poles slowly passing by outside the car window, and large old residential buildings standing there.
It is this quiet and peaceful old town that records the years the boys around me lived.
The dusk was getting darker and darker. Lu Mingfei looked at the traffic passing by on the viaduct in the distance, and felt that the city seemed to be divided into two. The rapidly developing new urban area was as fast as the traffic, and this old area
The old city is like an old bus under his butt, swaying through the green old streets, and the time is stretched extremely long.
Many years ago, the boy on the rooftop looked at the surging traffic on the viaduct in the distance and had endless reveries.
Many years later, the former boy only wanted to sit on this old bus with the girl beside him, from the beginning of the station to the end of the station, from this dusk to the white end.
Life is always full of surprises...I will continue to code the next chapter
