Food Bureau

We didn't chat for a long time before we were called down. When we were ready to serve, I helped to adjust the juice and serve the plate. My mother didn't forget to ask me if I took Shang Wan around while she was busy.

"Mom...do you think my place is a palace or a castle? Look around..."

"No, this house is very spacious," Shang Wan continued, "It should be quite difficult to find such a house in this area by the lake, and the interior layout is also very good."

My mother narrowed her eyes when she laughed, "Xiao Shang is so discerning! Let me tell you, there are only a few people living in such a big house, but she is reluctant to sell it. You said such a good house, you now If it’s sold, where else can I buy it? You can’t buy it even if you have money? Our decorations were really expensive back then..."

"Mom! The fans on the scallops are going to be smashed, you have a look!"

I yelled, and beat my chest and feet in my heart. After so many months, I tried my best to hide my clumsiness from Shang Wan, and I thought it was pretty good to be a thoroughly low-level person. People of the Wanali class, who of us is not looking down?How many catties and how many taels? She can count as soon as she is obedient. This is a good thing. My mother made all the clumsiness that I had worked so hard to hide in a few words. She praised our house, but she has never seen Shang Wan's villa. , Praise our decoration... Is he just engaged in interior design?

Shang Wan turned to look at me, looked into my eyes seriously, but didn't speak.

I helped my mother arrange the dishes. Uncle Li went to open the red wine, touched the bottle Shang Wan brought, looked at it, "Oh, isn't this wine expensive?"

I glanced at Shang Wan. She was talking to my mother, but I didn’t hear her. I walked over to look at the bottle. It was Merlot from Tuscany, Italy. The price range was quite wide. I couldn’t guess the price at once. It's not as exaggerated as the ones that Shang Wan drank at the private banquet that day.

"Did Xiao Shang bring this? Do you want to open it?" Uncle Li asked me in a low voice.

"Oh, let's drink together." I said.

"Otherwise, forget it, you can keep the birthday present she gave you, and we'll drink something else tonight." Uncle Li said as he put down his drink.

Shang Wan saw the movement on our side and came over, "What's wrong?"

I poked at the wine, "I'm not willing to open it."

"Open it. It's really not expensive wine. I just took a bottle and planned to drink it tonight."

Ouch, sister, the good wine is the one you take at home. If you just bought it from the Luyan Hotel when you first came, we will open it.

"Let me open it." Shang Wan said and picked up the bottle opener.

Li He muttered in the corner: "Am I not mistaken? More than 3000?" He continued to search on his phone while muttering.

I blushed and pretended not to hear. My mother and Uncle Li looked at each other and didn't say anything.

"Shang Wan Shang Wan! What kind of cake are you making?" Ayou was making noise from the side, and I was quite grateful to her.

"Only tiramisu, I remember liking it."

"Fortunately, Xiao Shang brought a cake. I thought Lao Li would buy it, and Lao Li thought I would buy it," my mother said with a smile, "but the whole family didn't buy it."

"I also thought that someone would always buy cakes, so I didn't bring them!" Ayou also laughed.

"As for this birthday boy, he thought that there would always be people buying cakes, and he was even more unprepared."

We had a big laugh, the cake was broken, a candle was lit, and I sang silly birthday songs, before I closed my eyes and made a wish, my mind was full of Shang Wan.I feel as if I have lived for 29 years. I have never had such a happy birthday. I used to make a wish on my birthday every year. After I became sensible, I told myself not to be greedy. From "Wang Yaru is happy" to "Save enough tuition fees to go back to Rice as soon as possible", almost all these wishes come in turn. Today, my wish is: I will still be there on my birthday every year in the future.

I don't think I've lost her as long as she's here.

The wine is delicious, the cakes are delicious, and the food on the table is delicious and delicious. Family affection, love, and friendship are all available tonight.

After dinner, we put the dishes in the dishwasher, and my mother looked inside and out again, and explained some unnecessary things, such as drying the clothes after drying, placing more pots of green plants in the bedroom, etc. Wait, after all, when you are old, you have to go back home with Uncle Li.

"You all go to bed early too." He still didn't forget to tell us.

Li He dawdled, I knew what he was thinking, and he showed courtesy to Shang Wan at dinner, thinking that there was no trace, I could see it clearly from here, but fortunately he is thin-skinned, so I preemptively: "He'er's task is to put Uncle Li and my mother were delivered home safely, okay?"

My own mother wanted to sing a rivalry with me: "Otherwise let Heer stay, you young people can play together."

I immediately smelled her little thoughtfulness, saw that Shang Wan was pretty and easy to get along with, and wanted to match them up.

"Mom, don't make things difficult for Heer, we girls, how awkward it is for him to be here, okay, okay, walk slowly on the road!"

In this way, Li He was thrown around by our mother and son, and finally he was thrown out honestly.

I sent the three of them downstairs, and when I got home, Shang Wan was washing those red wine glasses that couldn't go into the dishwasher. I hugged her from behind, "Why are you so virtuous, huh?"

Ah You leaned against the door frame, "Oh, do you have any eye drops?"

"Have you seen if your task has been completed?" I asked without turning my head.

"Isn't this waiting for a reward?"

Just as I was talking, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Ziyan who sent a message wishing me a happy birthday. To be honest, I was very happy to receive Xiao Ziyan’s birthday congratulations. That day I accompanied Shang Wan to her Explaining, she was polite and understanding, but that was her politeness. I don't want to lose a friend like Xiao Ziyan, especially when Ayou is so caring about her.

I handed the phone to Ayou, "Sister Ziyan."

She took a look, and there was a smile in her eyes. I knew that her heart was also relieved.

"Go! Don't wash it," I took the cup from Shang Wan and put it in the sink, "Go drink again!"

"I'm going first." Ayou said.

"You dare! You are not allowed to leave!" I said through gritted teeth, and took out several kinds of beer, red, and various foreign wines from the wine cabinet.

Ayou looked at me, "I'll have a drink with you two, and then I'll go see Zi Yan."

I thought about it, she probably missed her, and was also worried that she would be lonely alone, and really wanted to make some space for us, Monk Wan, "Alright, let's chat for a couple of drinks before you go."

Shang Wan folded her arms and looked at my wine cabinet.

"What are you looking at?" I asked her, "I don't have your expensive things here."

She probably saw the bottle of the same wine that Lynn Chin gave her that time, tilted her head to look at it for a long time, and also saw the bottle she gave me. These two bottles of wine are the most valuable in my family, and I am still reluctant to drink them for the time being.

"Come on, what do you want to drink?" I asked Shang Wan.

She came over and sat with us on the rug in front of the sofa, stretched out her fingers and lit a circle between the wine bottles in front of her, and landed on a brandy.

I picked it up and looked at it, "Oh, I just remembered, will you get a headache after drinking this cheap wine?"

Shang Wan gave me a white look, and got up to get a brandy glass.

"Hey," I stopped her, "otherwise, let's stop being so particular about it, how about just water glasses?" He said, stacking the glasses in front of him.

The wine was opened, I poured it for them, and raised the glass, "I'm so happy today, Ayou, Shang Wan, thank you both for appearing in my life." After I finished speaking, I raised my head and drank it down.

"Oh, you're serious!" Ah You shouted.

"Don't talk nonsense!" I turned to Shang Wan, "Just take a sip and I'll help you with the rest."

"You are a guy who puts more emphasis on sex than friends..."

Before Ah You finished speaking, Shang Wan also drank it down, with a smile in his eyes, "I'm happy today."

I looked at her, and suddenly thought again, is such a good Yili girl really mine?Thinking of this, he hugged her and kissed her hard.

Over there, Ah You stopped talking too much, and blushed on his face after drinking a cup.

"Ayou, Ziyan is a woman with good strength, but you are my sisters, no matter what happens between you and her, I just want you to live well and live happily."

I filled it up again for myself, poured half a cup for Ah You, poured a cup for Shang Wan, and smiled, "I am the one who values ​​sex and despises friends~"

Shang Wan took my cup from my hand, "Talking is the main thing, just have a drink, don't be greedy."

"Eh? Let me tell you, I usually listen to you, but today you have to let me drink. I'm so happy today," I said, grabbing the cup back, "The second cup, I wish us all a long and healthy life!"

I was really dizzy after drinking this glass, Ah You put the bottle aside, "What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

"What else do you think I have on my mind? It's not like you didn't know before that, my biggest concern is Shang Wan, and now she is by my side, what else can I do besides being happy?"

I heard Shang Wan and Ah You say, let her go to Zi Yan's place before it's too late, she will clean up here, and when I heard Ah You asking her to take care of me, I stood up, "What are you two doing? I have a Just a little dizzy, why do you act like I'm drunk?"

Ayou gave me a big hug and told me happy birthday again. I sent her out and wanted to send her downstairs, but she pushed her back and pushed it to Shang Wan, so I slumped in front of the sofa again. I looked at Shang Wan in front of me, "You said, I didn't drink much, did I?"

"Come on," she held my face lightly, "Is there anything you're unhappy about? Tell me, okay?"

I looked into her gentle eyes, and the eye circles were red, "I have to be a good person, and try to make you never leave me."

"Come on, why are you so embarrassed when my mother praised this house today? I really like this house very much."

"Hi!" I giggled, "Then don't mention it anymore, okay? I've suffered from embarrassment and cancer, and my mother is short-sighted, so don't look down on her..."

"Why should I look down on her? Why should I look down on anyone? You, your family, your friends, everyone is decent, real, and cute, and there is no one who is not living well by their own efforts. Why do you feel embarrassed? ?The difference in taste between cheap wine and expensive wine is not necessarily proportional to the price difference, and even all these popular wines taste milder, why are you so sensitive to these? "

"Shang Wan," I closed my eyes, "thank you for saying this, I just want to save face, and you are right, my family is really decent and real, even that kid Li He didn't try to hide it , who do you think I look like?" I paused, "I always thought my mother was heartless, that she was selfish and hypocritical, and guess what, I just found out today that she and my dad divorced. My tuition fee, my future...you think I am so useless? My parents used to sacrifice so much, but now I have a girlfriend, and my girlfriend gives me tuition in disguise, why am I so useless..."

My mouth was gently held by Shang Wan, and then let go, "If you are really that kind of person, why haven't you asked Uncle Li for a penny for so many years? Why are you willing to bury your youth and talent in a restaurant of twenty square meters? Just seven years?"

She spoke softly, as if she was afraid of hurting me, but my heart really ached.

"Your parents' thoughts and expectations, whether you know them today or not, the best reward for them right now is to return to school as soon as possible, and don't waste any more time. In fact, for me, if your ideal is to be a Chef, I will also support you, but you want to be an architect, so even if it is considered as a loan from you, even if you work harder and I will ask you to repay, you have to pass the test in your heart and actively declare school, okay?"

Her words were so soft and firm, I looked at her eyes, the lightness of her lips and the whiteness of her teeth when she uttered every word, I leaned forward and kissed her, and her kiss back made me wrap my arms around her waist My hands became tighter and tighter, and my lips reluctantly left hers, passed across her face, chin, and landed on her neck.

I want her, not only because of the charm of the body, but also because I want to explore the depths of her soul, all those unknown, madness, enthusiasm, trust, and tenderness that belong to me alone.
