Lian Que's house has three floors. Although the outer walls are covered with tiles, the inside of the house is still a concrete floor and whitewashed walls. It looks very simple, but fortunately, it has all the necessary electrical appliances and furniture. It's just that there is no heating and air conditioning, and the bed we sleep on is a kang head, so it won't be very cold at night.

There is a small single-story bungalow in the backyard, half of which is the kitchen and half is the dining room. When you walk around the lobby of the three-story building, you can see the curling smoke from the chimney on the roof of the bungalow at a glance.

Lian Que and the others didn't even figure out what was going on, so they were coaxed and tricked by Lian Que's mother and uncle, and dragged and dragged to the dining room in the backyard.

Lian Que's father was in charge of cooking in the kitchen next door. A large iron pot was placed on the brick stovetop. Potato stew was being fried in the pot. Bang bang.

Seeing the voices outside the door, the person in charge of the spoon stopped what he was doing and looked outside. Seeing that his eldest son had returned, his expressionless face became as eager as the vegetables in the pot, and he smiled He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, but because of his introverted personality, he didn't say anything. He just shook his head and pointed to the next door, asking Lian Que to take the guests to the dining room first.

As soon as Song Mu smelled the delicious food, the glutton in his stomach immediately became active, and he rushed straight to the dining room without being polite at all, but when he stood at the door of the dining room, he was stunned. It turned out that there were already people sitting at the dining table.

"Mom, what's going on here?" Seeing the unfamiliar faces on the dinner table, Lian Que couldn't help standing behind Song Mu, refusing to go in anyway.

"Oh! You child! Go home during the Chinese New Year and see what else can happen? Why are you blocking the door? Take your friends in and sit!" Lian Que's mother pulled Duanyu and Bai Luoyi, pointing Pointing to the seat in the back of the dining table, "You two are welcome, sit down wherever you want. Although our place is not as luxurious as in the city, Lian Que's father's cooking skills are the number one in the village. I promise to let you eat well!"

"Well, thank you, auntie." Bai Luoyi walked in generously first, and winked at Duan Yu, who was also puzzled and stunned with Lian Que, "You have been tossing around for a long time, aren't you hungry?"

Duan Yu glanced at Lian Que, he blinked, nodded to him, Duan Yu sighed, then walked into the dining room and sat next to Bai Luoyi, followed by Song Mu.

The people sitting at the dinner table in advance were two women, the young one looked about 25 or [-], and the older one was about the same age as Lian Que's mother.

Ever since Lian Que appeared at the door of the dining room, the older women never took their eyes away from him, and kept their eyes straight. The young woman sitting next to her was much more reserved and shy, and just looked at him. After a few glances, he lowered his head shyly.

"Let me introduce to you first. This is my eldest son Lian Que. He works in the city and graduated from a prestigious university. Those next to him are his friends who came to play with us." Lian's mother introduced herself When looking at his son's resume, his face was full of pride, "Lian Que, this young girl is called Ye Xin, she is the granddaughter of Uncle Ye's family in Group 1 of our village, and she also works in the city. Come back, next to her is her aunt."

"It turns out that Lian Que doesn't know this woman." Looking at the expression on Lian's mother's face, Duan Yu guessed that her purpose of deceiving Lian Que back this time was definitely to introduce him to someone.

Lian Que soon realized this.

"Mom! How could you trick me into coming back with the excuse of being seriously ill!" Lian Que tugged at Lian Mu's arm and muttered in a low voice.

"I don't say that, can you come back so soon!? Every time you want to introduce someone to you, you procrastinate and drag, and now all the good ones are picked out by others. You are blind to such good conditions. I'm still a bachelor!" Lian Mu glared at Lian Que, pulled him up and stuffed him next to Ye Xin's seat, grabbed her hand and patted her enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "You two get to know each other first. Familiar, Lian Que's father's dishes will be ready in a while."

After finishing speaking, she secretly kicked Aunt Ye Xin's feet under the table, gave her a look, and motioned for her to go out with her.

Lian Que's uncle was watching his father cook in the kitchen, with half a cigarette in his mouth, and his two sons were standing behind him playing with their mobile phones.

"Why did you come out?" the uncle asked.

Mother Lian concealed the door of the dining room, and couldn't help but sneak a peek inside at the end, covered her mouth and snickered a few times, and said to the uncle, "Give them some space to get acquainted with young people."

"Cough!" Uncle smiled and shook his head, "Lian Que blamed you, tricked him back like this."

Lian's mother curled her lips: "Let him complain, I have to hold a big fat grandson in the past two years! He doesn't care how old he is, and other people's children who are as old as him can use soy sauce, but he is good. Not yet."

"That's the reason." The uncle squinted his eyes and let out a puff of smoke. Seeing the two sons behind him only playing games, he yelled: "You two, if you want to play with that broken mobile phone, go home and play. Don't stand there. Get in the way of my eyes here."

"What do you think they do when you are in the Chinese New Year?" Lian's father smiled, picked up the spoon and pointed to the dining room, "You two go and sit down first, the food will be ready soon."

The two sons put away their mobile phones and went to the dining room in a awkward manner.

There are already seven or eight dishes on the dining table, some meat and some vegetables, and there is a hanging pot in the middle, which is full of rich old duck soup.

Regarding Lian Que's embarrassing situation, Duan Yu's face showed no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, and looked very calm, which made Song Mu couldn't help but sweat for Lian Que.

"Brother Que, or I'll change places with you." Song Mu could only think of this trick to help Lian Que out of the predicament.

"No need..." Lian Que smiled gratefully. It's not that he doesn't know the etiquette of dealing with people. The people at the dinner table are almost strangers to Ye Xin. At this time, Lian Que should be the host and guest.

"Aren't you hungry? Eat the vegetables first." Duan Yu picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them into Song Mu's bowl with a blank expression.

"Oh..." Song Mu buried his head in the bowl, raised his eyes to peek at Lian Que, then at Duan Yu, and passed the vegetables in the bowl to his mouth one by one at a speed slower than a snail. inside.

Lian Que was also blushing all the time, and secretly glanced at Duan Yu mindfully. He saw Ye Xin's mouth move, and asked him some questions in a soft voice. He didn't know how he answered. It's all absent-minded.

Probably because he was too perfunctory and answered irrelevant questions, Ye Xin sighed imperceptibly, and did not speak again after that, but from the way she looked at Lian Que, it could be seen that she still had a good impression of him.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lian's mother, Lian's father who was carrying potato stew, and several other elders walked into the dining room together.

"How's the chat going?" Lian Mu put the dishes on the table and looked at Lian Que expectantly.

"Eat first, let's talk after eating, so that the dishes don't get cold." Lian's father said with a smile, and changed the braised elbow at the table to Lian Que, "Lian Que, eat more of your favorite big elbow. And you These friends of mine, it’s rare to come here, so don’t be polite.”

"Yeah! Uncle's cooking is better than Brother Que's!" Song Mu held a big chicken leg in his left hand and an elbow in his right hand. He ate so much that he completely forgot how worried he was about Lian Que just now.

"It's no wonder Lian Que's craftsmanship is so good. It's from Uncle Lian." Duanyu finally had an official smile on his face, and at the critical moment he complimented Lian's father, and he didn't forget to smile at Lian's mother.

"Oh, you have such a sweet mouth and good looks. Do you have a date? Do you want Auntie to introduce you?" Lian's mother asked with a smile.

"Don't worry about it, auntie, I have a partner." Duanyu gave Lian Que a meaningful look, and then smiled slightly with downcast eyes.

During the rare reunion dinner, Lian Que kept holding back the grievance until Song Mu put the last piece of meat into his mouth.Mother Lian seemed very dissatisfied with Lian Que's performance. Although she kept chatting and laughing with several elders during the meal, she kept looking at him and Ye Xin from the corner of her eye, except for occasionally picking up a few chopsticks for Ye Xin. Lian Que basically didn't talk to her much.

After a meal, Ye Xin also seemed to feel that Lian Que didn't care about her so much, and went home with her aunt without much delay, but verbally agreed that Lian's mother wanted her to come back as a guest in a few days ask.

After eating, Lian Que took Duan Yu and the others to the second floor, took some clean bedding and cleaned up the vacant rooms at home. Song Mu and Duan Yu shared one room, and Bai Luoyi had one room alone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be such a farce when I came back this time." Lian Que's face was dark, and he helped Duan Yu spread the quilt, and picked up the pillow and dusted the dust with his hands beside the bed.Song Mu and Bai Luoyi followed Uncle Lian Que's son to the rooftop to set off fireworks.

"So what are you going to do?" Duan Yu looked at him, "Your parents probably don't know about you."

Lian Que was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "How could it be possible to let them know, not to mention that they are rural people, even if they are urban people, it is difficult to accept homosexuality."

Duanyu sighed and scratched his forehead helplessly. He didn't continue to speak. He understood what Que was thinking and what Que said, but his age had already passed the marriageable age. The person confessed, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life in the future.

Just as the two fell silent, Lian's mother went upstairs, stood at the door of the room and called out to Lian Que: "Lian Que, come here."

Lian Que looked back at Lian's mother, knowing what she wanted to say without even thinking about it, but there was nothing he could do, it was his mother, and it was rare to go back once a year, so he still had to go down with her.

"What happened to you when you were eating just now? You just ignored Ye Xin and looked down on him?" Lian Mu stood at the stairs and asked with a straight face.

"Mom, I'm not suitable for her..." Lian Que said in a low voice.

"What's inappropriate!" Lian's mother suddenly raised her voice, and when she realized that there were guests at home, she let out a sigh and lowered her voice, "I think it's quite suitable, the girl's age is just right, and her experience is similar to yours. , look passable, get married and live a life, don't be too picky, you are old and not young."

At this time, Lian's father walked over from the yard with a smile, a cigarette in his ear and a light in his hand, as if he had just exchanged greetings with people in the village outside.

"What are you two talking about?"

"It's not because of my fat grandson!" Lian's mother glared at Lian's father, "She is such a good girl, your son doesn't like her."

"Don't like it? Why don't you like it? Tell Dad about it." Lian's father smiled and patted Lian Que on the shoulder. He seemed to be more talkative than Lian's mother.

"It's just inappropriate..." Facing the gentler father, Lian Que hesitated to speak.

Father Lian raised his head and looked at Lian Que, and suddenly put away his smiling face: "Okay, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable, it's rare to come back, don't let these things spoil the fun, first take your friends to play around, and talk about it later. "

"The child's father!" Lian's mother stamped her feet anxiously.

"I said what do you want to do for the Chinese New Year! Don't bother me, go and clean up the kitchen." Lian's father rolled his eyes at Lian's mother, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
