The sky is slightly blue, with occasional white clouds drifting by

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Qiu Yu and his cousins ​​appeared at the door of the aunt with a bunch of gifts, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. The aunt and cousins ​​came out from the yard to greet her. Qiu Yu was polite and polite. Greet them in turn.

Looking over, there was no Rong Yu in the crowd.He went into the living room to have tea, but Rong Yu was not seen, he felt a little strange.

In the past two years, when he came to the aunt's house, Rong Yu always warmly greeted relatives and guests, chatted happily with them, and behaved very mature and stable.This is a kind of communication ability that he doesn't have. To those relatives whom he only sees once or twice a year, he can only exchange simple and polite greetings, and then walk away silently.He really had nothing to say to these relatives who couldn't even remember their faces. If he continued to stay, he would only be asked questions that he didn't want to answer, which would affect his mood.

Perhaps because of the smallest age difference, Rong Yu is the only person in the aunt's family who he can say a few more words to.Seeing that it was almost dinner time and no one was there, Qiu Yu thought about it, and took out his phone to send Rong Yu a message.

【Where did you go?】

After sending the phone, I put the phone back in my pocket. Within a minute, the phone in my pocket rang four times one after another.The news came back very quickly, it seems that I haven't played crazy yet.

【Eating wine at someone else's house】

[Young talents are called waves, and mine are called entertainment]

[Dinner will be ready soon, I will be back soon]

【Is it time for you to eat】

Qiu Yu chuckled, this kid always likes to pretend, he is obviously a kid.

Qiu Yu: [If you don't learn well at a young age, you can drink like others. Drinking too much is bad for your health, so don't drink too much]

Qiu Yu: [Just finished tea]

Rong Yu: [Well, the food is on the table, I'll be back soon]

Qiu Yu:【We have to eat too】

Rong Yu: [OK]

After lunch, Qiu Yu sat on a bamboo chair in the yard, closed his eyes and basked in the sun.After two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is very good, the sky is slightly blue, with a few white clouds floating in the air.

As soon as the sun shines, the whole body is warm and relaxed.When he was about to fall asleep, Rong Yu sent a message.

【20 minutes home】

He also said that he was drunk, so this rhythm is to drink and drive.

【Drunk driving? 】

Rong Yu didn't reply to the message, it seems that he was already riding a motorcycle on the way back, Qiu Yu closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.

Fifteen minutes later, Rong Yu was driving a black motorcycle and wearing a gray sweater and appeared on the side of the road at the entrance of the courtyard. After parking the car, he did not get off immediately, but turned his head to look into the courtyard.

It was only when he heard his cousins ​​talking to Rong Yu that Qiu Yu opened his eyes, and there were golden flowers on the black background.It took several seconds before he could barely see the blurred image. When he looked at Rong Yu, the first thing he saw was Rong Yu's legs in black trousers propped on the side of the road. They were very long and straight.

Looking up, Rong Yu is wearing a helmet, Qiu Yu can't see his face clearly, of course, even if Rong Yu is not wearing a helmet at this distance, he can't see Rong Yu's facial features clearly.

After a while, Rong Yu got out of the car and hung his helmet on the rearview mirror, not knowing what he was talking to his cousins, he smiled happily.

The tall Rong Yu stands out from the crowd, he has already grown so tall.

Until Qiu Yu got into his cousin's car to go home, he and Rong Yu didn't say a word.

Just two minutes after the car started, the phone in his pocket rang again.

【Happy New Year! 】

Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied the same blessing to Rong Yu.

【Happy New Year】

Qiu Yu and his cousins ​​had tea at his cousin's house for a while, and Qiu Yu didn't arrive home until after seven o'clock in the evening.Not long after entering the house, the souvenir packaging bag stuffed by the aunt was only half unpacked when she received another message from Rong Yu.

【Are you home】

Qiu Yu put down the things in his hands, and replied two words to Rong Yu.

[just arrived]

Rong Yu only replied one word in seconds.

【Um】

Then there was no more text, and of course Qiu Yu would not take the initiative to send a message to Rong Yu.

During the rest of the vacation, Qiu Yu basically stayed at home and didn't go out. When he was bored, he would read a book or play with his mobile phone for a while.If you ignore the frequent quarrels between your parents, you can live a comfortable life.

Yu Hong's life was not as comfortable as his. He was driven out by Yu Weiguo and his mother every day to go on a blind date. After six or seven years of dating, his mother was in a hurry, afraid that Yu Hong would ride a bicycle for the rest of his life.

Leisure days always pass quickly.After the Lantern Festival, Qiu Yu dragged his suitcase back to school and resumed the three-point-one-line life of the dormitory, cafeteria, and classroom.

In the summer vacation of the second semester of her sophomore year, Qiu Yu went home first as in previous years, and stayed at home for a few days before going out to do summer work.

On the second night at home, my mother Qiu Zhaohua said to Qiu Yu who was watching TV solemnly, "Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Zhaohua is the one who has the best attitude towards him in this family, but he has never cared about Qiu Yu since he was a child, and such serious conversations are rare.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yu asked.

"Your elder brother is already 28, and your dad and I have been arranging marriages for your brother these past few years, arranging so many blind dates, but they just didn't work out," my mother sighed and continued, "A few years ago it was because of our family There is no new house, and no girl is willing to marry and live a hard life. In the past two years, your father and I have finally built the house and decorated it. Your sister still has some gift money left, and I will borrow some from relatives and friends. It's almost enough to give your brother a wife."

Qiu Yu's parents are both very traditional rural people, who value sons over daughters. They regard family succession as their belief, and regard Yu Hong's marrying a wife and having sons as their own goal.The second sister Yu Ying's marriage was also to get the gift money for her elder brother to marry a wife. Yu Ying was not very willing to marry at the beginning, so they coaxed Yu Ying to marry with soft and hard tactics.Seeing Yu Ying's hesitation at that time, Qiu Yu said, "If the second sister doesn't want to marry, just follow her." Then his parents said that the man's conditions are good in all aspects, and the second sister will marry him. They won't be at a disadvantage, and if they miss out on finding someone with such good conditions, they are also doing it for Yu Ying's good.Qiu Yu is an adopted son, and he has never had much say in this family. Besides, the second sister finally agreed to marry herself. If he says anything else, he will be the enemy of the whole family.

"In the past two years, your brother has been on several blind dates. He either thinks that our place is remote and the roads are not accessible, or that we have two sons in our family. I am afraid that we will not be able to manage the family separation. We are eccentric as parents-in-law. We met at the beginning of this year. I went to the woman’s house several times to discuss this matter with her parents. Her parents have now agreed to the marriage, but they hope that their daughter will have a guarantee when they come here. There is one condition, that is, the house Transfer the ownership to your brother and your future sister-in-law, anyway, we two are old, and sooner or later the house will belong to their young people, so we agreed. Xiaoyu, you don’t have any ideas, do you?”

"I have no idea. This house was built by your two elders, and it should have been passed on to the eldest brother." Qiu Yu never thought of fighting for any family property and house, and had no right to fight for it.Moreover, he knew that Yu Weiguo originally planned to leave the house to Yu Hong, but he just asked Qiu Zhaohua to give him a vaccination in advance to test his attitude through the matter of his eldest brother marrying a wife.It's just that he is afraid that he will make a fuss, and it will be spread that others will say that they abused their adopted son, that they are not good-looking and lose face. They all regard reputation as more important than their lives.

Yu Zhaohua smiled with satisfaction: "We can rest assured if you think so, and don't think we are cruel..."

Qiu Yu stared at the floor, very calmly: "I didn't think so." She was already numb.

Yu Zhaohua paused for a moment, and then said: "Your brother has never been to college, his salary is low and he can't save much money, and he will have to raise children in the future, which is very stressful. You are a college student, and after you get a diploma, you will get money quickly when you go out to work. It's not easy for us to make you so big after so many years..." He didn't hear what his mother said afterwards.

On the morning of the third day after returning home, Qiu Yu dragged the suitcase he had brought back from school and got on the bus to the train station.

Qiu Yu sat on the train bound for City F, feeling empty in his heart.

Going back to the company I worked for last summer, Qiu Yu worked for two months to earn enough tuition fees, and after school started, he found a KTV near the school as a part-time waiter. Friday nights and weekends passed, and daily expenses and meals The fee problem is solved, and there is still a little left.

In the few weeks after the military training of freshmen, KTV often has freshmen come here to gather and sing, and Saturday night is usually the peak time of passenger flow, so Qiu Yu and his colleagues are so busy that they can hardly stop.

Qiu Yu, who just came out of the tea room in Area A and was going to deliver the ice bucket, was stopped by the building manager: "First, send this platter to private room 306."

"Okay." Qiu Yu replied.

Qiu Yu walked to the door of private room 306 with a large fruit platter, pushed open the door with his back, walked in and bent down to put the platter on an open space on the table: "Hello, this is the fruit platter you ordered." Then Pour the dry ice into a plastic cup filled with half a cup of water, and a white mist rises quickly in the middle of the platter.

Just as he was about to exit the private room, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Qiu Yu?"

Qiu Yu followed the voice and looked over, the light in the private room was a bit dim, but he still recognized it, it was Rong Yu.

Before he had time to respond to Rong Yu, a classmate next to Rong Yu looked at Qiu Yu, turned his head and asked Rong Yu: "Rong Yu, do you know him?"

"My cousin, Qiu Yu, is a junior at your school." Rong Yu replied with a smile.

"Hello, senior." The classmate immediately greeted him, stared at Qiu Yu for a few seconds, turned around and said to Rong Yu, "Rong Yu, senior looks younger than you, are you worried?"

"Get out." Rong Yu scolded with a smile.

Someone enthusiastically pulled Qiu Yu to sit down, and greeted him: "Senior, come here, sit down and play together, let Rong Yu sing you a few songs, that kid can still sing, but please don't move if you are too arrogant "The speaker was still holding a cigarette between his fingers, and he could smell a strong smell of smoke when he approached Qiu Yu, and he frowned briefly.

"What do you mean it can still be heard? It's hundreds of times better than all of you crying and howling." Rong Yu said.

Several people shouted at the same time: "Damn, your face is so big!"

"Rong Yu, your cousin is pretty good-looking, does he have a girlfriend?" A girl looked at Qiu Yu and smiled a little nympho.

Qiu Yu smiled politely.

"Lu Lan, why didn't high school see that you are so courageous and nympho?" Rong Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl.

"I've been in the same class for two years, and you haven't paid attention to me, how could you tell." Lu Lan chuckled.

"Come on! Drink! The senior is a distinguished guest, how can you not have a drink?" Someone brought a full glass of beer to Qiu Yu.

"I'm sorry, the working hours stipulate that you can't drink." Qiu Yu took the wine glass and put it back on the table, and suddenly became the focus of a group of strangers in the whole private room, which made him a little uncomfortable and a little embarrassed. Met relatives at home at work.

Rong Yu tactfully got up and dragged him out of the private room.

"Are you working part-time here?" Rong Yu asked.

"Well," Qiu Yu replied, without looking at Rong Yu, "Why are you here?"

"I went to Y University, don't you know?" Rong Yu stared at Qiu Yu's side face, "I was dragged here by my high school classmates."

"Well, then you and your classmates have fun, I'm going to work." Qiu Yu still didn't look at Rong Yu, and his tone was very calm.

"Okay, go get busy, I'm going back." Rong Yu's voice was normal, without any emotion.

"Ah."

Turning around and going back to the tea room, Qiu Yu looked at the ice machine in a daze, a little dazed.

The author has something to say:

Because I like it, I am persistent, which is why I wrote this novel.
