Bitter Tea [101 Mei Xuan]

"Your father said that your grandfather passed away, so logically you should go back and watch the night."

The scenery outside the window is flying backwards, and the green wheat waves are rippling with the wind.The sun was so strong that it made people dizzy. Meng Meiqi reached out and closed the curtains, took out the blindfold from her schoolbag and put it on her forehead.

The windows are sealed and there is no way to breathe, which makes the air in the car extremely stuffy. The journey from Beicheng to home is not long or short, and it takes more than half a day. If you take measures to prevent motion sickness, you won't feel unbearable. .

Meng Meiqi looked down at the packed bag of motion sickness medicine and snacks in her schoolbag, feeling very complicated.

Wu Xuanyi is also too careful.If it was before last night, Meng Meiqi might have just sighed like this without pain, but after what happened last night, Meng Meiqi might not be able to calm down when she saw something related to Wu Xuanyi again.

The memory was a little loose, and last night it was still so clear that the cruel images were bouncing around in his mind. Meng Meiqi hugged her head and tried her best to suppress the wailing in her throat.God!God!Jesus is big!What did she do yesterday?What did you do?are you crazy?She was buried in Wu Xuanyi's arms and cried non-stop!Even coquettish? !

Yesterday, after receiving the call telling me to go back to the funeral, my mood dropped to freezing point. Grandpa is one of the few relatives in the whole big family who treats her well. She has been away from home for so long, and she hasn't seen him for at least several years. At first, I was thinking about when she could face her father calmly before going back, but who knew it would be too late.

As a result, he didn't hold back for a while, and his emotions burst a bit.Of course, it's not enough to cry on the main road, and I just endured it at first, but what kind of vision is Wu Xuanyi?Knowing that she was in a bad mood, she asked Uncle Wang to buy a meal and send it home, and she accompanied her back home.

When I got home, I had nothing to worry about, and I could vent my sadness at ease, but Meng Meiqi never liked to cry in front of others, especially in front of Wu Xuanyi.However, it may be because of someone comforting her, she obviously just said a few simple words, but she suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.

Then...

Ahhhhhhhh, this embarrassment of hindsight is really terrible! ! !

Meng Meiqi blushed, raised her head and took a few deep breaths, the annoying heat finally subsided a little.

Although she is so embarrassed now that she thinks about it, Meng Meiqi still thinks backwards according to the memory of last night. She cried yesterday because she cried. She probably didn't say anything too boring. At most, she just wet her shoulders and said Just some complaints.

"Xuan Yi, can I call you Xuan Yi in the future?"

Ahhhhhhh what kind of retarded question is this! ! !

Meng Meiqi couldn't even maintain her superficial calm, and buried herself in her schoolbag with a flushed face.What was wrong with her yesterday?Did you say that?Could Wu Xuanyi have misunderstood something?Will you feel sick?Do you feel that you can push yourself just because of her gentleness and ability to comfort others?

"You're unhappy...I don't know what to do anymore..."

And... what does this sentence mean?

She still remembers the look on her face when she said this, the light was not turned on in the living room, Meng Meiqi leaned on her shoulder, she could feel the soft touch of the fabric on her forehead and cheeks, and the burning temperature penetrated little by little, Meng Meiqi cried and panted However, when she looked up, she saw the face that was close to Chi Chi, and the expression on her face that she hadn't had time to put away.

It seemed to be helpless, distressed, and hurt, but there were still some feelings that Meng Meiqi didn't understand for a while.

what is it then?

"It's almost the stop, take your things!" The conductor stood at the front of the train and shouted to the rear, reminding the passengers to pack up their things, and they are almost at the end.

His thoughts were interrupted, and he simply stopped thinking about it.Meng Meiqi took out a wet towel and wiped her face and hands, put the finished snacks into a garbage bag and tied them up, put on her schoolbag and waited for the bus to pull in and stop.

When I got out of the car, a gust of wind and dust rushed towards my face. It was the hottest time, and the scorching sun shone on my face and body, making me almost suffocate.Meng Meiqi squinted her eyes, put one hand between her eyebrows as a sunshade, and looked into the distance of the dusty avenue.

The town is not big, there are two or three storey small buildings on both sides of the street, the appearance is simple, the road is neither wide nor narrow, and it is just right for three small cars to line up side by side.Next to the station is a large compound, where snacks and fried rice are crowded, and people in the town like to eat here.The hotel that is often booked for weddings and weddings is also in one of the alleys in the compound.

It's been a long time since I left, I thought I would be unfamiliar with these scenery, but who knows that every plant and tree here has penetrated into the bottom of her heart, as long as she sees a street corner, all the streets she walked and visited will crash into it exactly as it is. in mind.

It's just that the people who used to be are probably gone now.

Meng Meiqi looked at it for a while, reached out to stop the car, and dialed his father's phone.

The location of their community is right in the center of the town, the transportation is very convenient, and it is also convenient to go to the street to buy vegetables.But this is still a new home for Meng Meiqi, because when she left home to go to high school in other places, they just moved here from the old housing area not long ago, so Meng Meiqi didn't stay for long and was not very familiar with it.

After paying the money, Meng Meiqi opened the car door and saw a row of unfamiliar small buildings. Before Meng Meiqi left, the mud brick walls were still exposed, but this time when he came back, he renovated them and painted brown walls. Skin.

There was a vast expanse of white people standing in the yard in front of the stairs. Looking around, some Meng Meiqi could recognize their names, while others had no memory at all.

Meng Meiqi put her mobile phone into her bosom, and every time she took a step closer to the group of people, her heart beat faster. She pressed her chest, and when she was about to get closer, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Meiqi?"

This voice was so familiar that people were shocked. Meng Meiqi turned around and saw his father in white mourning clothes standing at the corner of the street, looking at him with uncertain eyes.

"Dad." Meng Meiqi subconsciously tightened her straps, her voice trembling.

The pale-skinned middle-aged man was stunned for a few seconds before he responded with some embarrassment. He seemed to have just returned from the store, with a large bag of colorful snacks in one hand and two large bottles of drinks in the other.The two were almost silent for a while, and the people over there noticed Father Meng and the strange girl who came back, and they came over to talk one after another: "Is this your daughter? When did she grow up so big? Oh, oh!" ,it's beautiful."

Meng Meiqi took the bag of snacks from her father and smiled at the relatives around her.Meng's father seemed to be excited, stood next to Meng Meiqi, and said to the smiling woman, "Yes, this is my daughter, who is going to college this year! Come on, Meiqi, this is your aunt."

Meng Meiqi said hello to her aunt, followed her father to recognize her relatives, and said hello before returning to the house.I have to go to a dinner party after a break, and now I need to recharge my energy.

My room was kept as it was, and the quilt on the bed was replaced with a new one. You can feel the softness of the sun to the touch. The photo album and alarm clock on the bedside table were moved out of the old house. The posters and embroidery I like, and the low cabinet is full of melon seeds and candies.Meng Meiqi walked around the small room twice, and the memories about this small house came back from the depths of her mind bit by bit.

It was still hot, Meng Meiqi turned on the fan, dropped her schoolbag and lay down on the bed.The lights on the ceiling are made of wood, with wind chime-like tassels hanging from the edge of the yellow lampshade. When the wind blows in from outside the window, the wood chips hit each other softly, making a crisp sound.

After sitting in the car for a long time in the early morning until now, my body seems to have lost all strength.Lying down so relaxed, Meng Meiqi rubbed her eyes hurriedly and took out her phone from her pocket when she felt drowsy.

Leaning on the head of the bed with a pillow, Meng Meiqi clicked on WeChat, and a new message lay on the front page.

Dreaming: Meiqi, are you home yet?

Meng Meiqi's hands were sore for a while, and the embarrassment that had been buried just now broke out again. She held her phone and gritted her teeth for a long time, but decided to reply to the message normally.

Shan Zhi: Not long after I got off the car, I’m back home now.

The word Xuanyi was lying in the input box, Meng Meiqi frowned, and her fingers wavered around the send button.

Dreaming: That's good.

There is no more text.

Meng Meiqi rubbed her chin, and slowly pressed the delete button.

She will feel embarrassed too.

Suddenly a little lost.

Not long after lying on the bed, there was a knock on the door. Meng Meiqi jumped up from the bed and opened the door. Meng Guohai was standing at the door. His face was a little rosier than before. He held the bag of snacks in his hand, and lowered his head He shook his head and said, "I bought this for you, you can put it in your room. When you come back, there are many children, so I'll snatch it away for you."

Meng Meiqi took the snacks and put them on the bedside table. Meng Guohai glanced into the room past her, rubbed his hands and said, "Nothing has changed in the room, right? It's the same as before when you moved. I'm afraid when you will come again It will be uncomfortable to live in."

Meng Meiqi felt a little stiff in her neck, scratched her head and said, "It's the same as before, I like it very much."

Meng Guohai seemed to be relieved, and pointed his arm back: "Have you packed your things? It's time to eat. Let's go out together."

Meng Meiqi nodded quickly, grabbed the small bag prepared on the bed, and followed Meng Guohai.

The pre-booked restaurant is located in the alley that Meng Meiqi saw when he got off the bus. After passing the compound, he turned a few turns and arrived. Now it is time for lunch, and every restaurant is full of crowds and bustling.Meng Meiqi followed his father and his party to one of the restaurants with a pretty face. Adults and children were divided into two tables, and Meng Meiqi was still in school, so they were divided into one of the children's tables.

Before everyone arrived, Meng Meiqi waited with her mobile phone, when suddenly someone approached her and called out uncertainly, "Sister Meiqi?"

The voice was somewhat familiar. Meng Meiqi looked up and saw little girls whose heads reached up to her neck. They looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were so tender that they could pinch water.

"You are..." Meng Meiqi stood up: "Sister Meng Qing?"

Meng Qing is the one who is most familiar with Meng Meiqi among the children of their generation. She is the daughter of the aunt's family.

Meng Qing has grown so much compared to the last time we met, Meng Meiqi didn't recognize her for a while, and covered her mouth in surprise for a moment: "It's been a long time since I saw you, why are you so tall? I thought you weren't growing any longer. , it seems that calcium tablets are still effective."

Meng Qing blinked, and nestled into Meng Meiqi's arms: "Sister Meiqi, what are you talking about, I'm only sixteen this year, and I'm still at the age I should grow up without calcium tablets. It's so beautiful, I almost didn't dare to recognize it."

Meng Meiqi chuckled twice: "When you were young, you were as stunted as you were. You were dark and thin. Who knew that you grew up to be succulent. According to your trend, you will soon catch up with me."

Meng Qing curled her lips and kissed Meng Meiqi on the cheek: "No matter what, I miss you so much, Sister Meiqi~"

The two chatted for a few more words, and the children came one after another. Most of them didn't know Meng Meiqi, because there was nothing to chat with because of the age gap. There were a few boys of the same age, but they looked at themselves. The eyes were really annoying, so Meng Meiqi simply greeted her politely and started chatting with Meng Qing.

Meng Guohai confirmed the number of people at each table, and began to ask the back chef to serve the dishes. The dishes were quickly set up, and everyone chatted enthusiastically. The adults next door had already started to drink wine. Various toasts and There were more homely conversations, and a warm atmosphere permeated the room.Meng Meiqi listened to the noisy voices next door, ignored those malicious eyes on her, and took some chopsticks for Meng Qing to pick up some of her favorite dishes.

Halfway through the meal, the boys also began to drink some wine. A bottle of wine fell into Meng Meiqi's hands in a round, thinking that it would be okay to drink a little, so he drank up the drink in the glass and prepared to pour another glass. After just a few drops, Meng Qing stopped her movements.

Meng Qing couldn't believe it: "Sister? Do you want to drink?"

Meng Meiqi smiled because she didn't understand: "Yes, it's okay to drink a little."

Meng Qing firmly grabbed her arm: "Don't you, you don't know what kind of wine you have."

Meng Meiqi was a little confused. She hadn't drank alcohol for a long time, except that she drank like crazy in the last stage of her first year of high school, and she hadn't touched it much recently.She actually didn't know much about her own wine, but after she got drunk at Wu Xuanyi's house that time, Fu Jing just said that she was dizzy.

Even if the difference is not bad, why didn't Wu Xuanyi settle the score with himself that time?

Meng Qing opened her eyes wide, as if facing an enemy: "Did you forget that you can't drink? You have a problem!"

Meng Meiqi didn't react: "Huh?"

Meng Qing said: "After drinking, you like to hug people, you can't even break them, have you forgotten?"
