Life is bloody eight o'clock

"I'll say it again." Seeing that Ning Jun was frightened by his sudden rage, Xu Douxiao softened his tone, "Let us handle our affairs, don't bring Yuan Ben, you said you want to tell my parents, I No objection, I will cooperate anytime and in any way.”

"Then it's better now. I have a vacation and you don't have a job. Let's make it clear today."

"it is good."

So an hour later, they appeared in the waiting hall of the train station, with the tickets back to Xu Douxiao's hometown lying in their respective wallets. They had traveled together before, and they all laughed and talked smoothly. Ning Jun still felt that I was lucky, I found a good man who has withstood the test of traveling together, now I just feel ironic when I think about it, I don’t want to look at him again, put on earphones and close my eyes to rest.

Xu Douxiao also felt depressed and ran outside the hall to smoke.

While he was standing at the door smoking, he received a call from Yuan Ben.He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound as normal as possible. "Hello. What's the matter? I can't write anymore?" "Honey, I have to go back." Yuan Ben's voice was a little breathless, and the background sound was very chaotic, as if he was in a noisy place. I got a call from Li, and asked me to go to the unit tomorrow to cooperate with the investigation and hear the results. It’s also unlucky, there are no tickets for planes and trains, I grabbed the last long-distance bus ticket, and I have to set off immediately.”

"Are you at the station?" Xu Douxiao felt that God was still on his side, so by coincidence, he sent Yuan Benfa far away, and he couldn't control his voice a bit unsteadily.

Yuan Ben thought he was angry, and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, Dou Xiao, I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you alone in the hotel, but the rush here is urgent, I bought the ticket and went straight to the station , I wanted to take a detour and go back to see you, but I really don't have time."

"It's okay, I'm not angry." Xu Douxiao comforted him, "Work is important, do you want to resume your job?"

"I don't know too well, but Qin Momo said that the tone of the boss has changed recently, so go back and have a look."

"Okay, be careful yourself." Xu Douxiao told him, "Send me a message when you arrive."

"Okay, okay. I'm going to get in the car right now, you should pay attention to your body and contact me by phone." Yuan Ben paused, his voice lowered, "I love you."

"I love you too." Xu Douxiao slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, the taste of tobacco and mint lingered in his mouth, it was still bitter and astringent just now, because this sentence became sweet and cool, he felt I have the power to fight against the world again.

He extinguished the cigarette on the trash can, turned around and walked back to the waiting hall, the train to W City was about to leave.

City W is not far from City S. It is also in the south of the Yangtze River. The climate is similar, but the eating habits are far different. Compared with thick oily red sauce, chili is more popular here. Seeing that October is about to enter, this place is still like a stove, and the night falls Afterwards, the earth releases the heat it has absorbed for a day.

Both Xu Douxiao and Ning Jun didn't have any luggage, so they traveled lightly all the way. It was only eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Xu's house. I called at home, but didn't say anything specific, only said that I was on a business trip nearby, and I happened to be here with Ning Jun, and I needed to talk to the elder about some things.

The most worrisome saying in the world is "something, it's not easy to talk about, talk about it face-to-face", which usually means that the matter is not small, difficult to solve, sad and happy, and there is a time gap for the face-to-face interview, and there are people waiting to talk about it Enough time to crank yourself up and scare yourself.

Xu's mother was fidgeting since she answered the phone, and asked Xu's father to analyze when the two children needed to come together.

"I always feel that something is wrong, and it's not a good thing." Xu's mother wandered from the kitchen to the living room, from the living room to the bedroom, and finally returned to the living room, standing with her hips on her hips, standing in front of Xu's father, who was engrossed in watching the seven central agricultural programs, " If it was just a door-to-door visit, I wouldn't be in such a hurry, I talked to Ning Jun on the phone two days ago, and she didn't mention that she wanted to come."

"Oh, don't scare yourself. The two of you have talked for so long and even got engaged. Maybe there is something good about it, but it's just not easy to talk about on the phone." Father Xu couldn't watch the TV left and right, and picked up a cup of tea He took a sip and comforted him.

"Why can't we talk about good things on the phone?" Xu's mother rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't your son just send a message for such a big good thing like an engagement?"

"Some good things are not easy to say." Xu's father gestured in front of his stomach, and Xu's mother immediately understood, screamed, covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

"Oh, it's really hard to say. It's true, my son. Why is Ning Jun's body still tossing back and forth."

After she was happy, she became anxious again, "Then we must prepare for this wedding quickly, otherwise it will not look good in a wedding dress when the month is old, and people will say that we have no rules. These two people are really careless, too careless. Be careful."

"I'm also guessing casually, it may not be this matter."

"Your mouth is the smartest." Xu's mother recognized the matter as it was, "Oh, there are too many things to be busy with, and I haven't met my in-laws yet, so I don't know what the other side thinks, oh , Too rushed, too rushed. Fortunately, I was prepared."

Father Xu saw that she had changed from a state of bewilderment to a state of mixed joy and sorrow. He shook his head, then lay comfortably on the sofa and continued to watch his "Bamboo Rat Breeding".

Within a few minutes, Xu's mother brought out a thick binder from the study room. This was the homework he had been doing since Xu Douxiao was an adult, about wedding customs and taboos, the market price of betrothal gifts, wedding celebrations, etc. The company’s phone number, the style of the host, the style of the wedding scene (Chinese style and Western style are two major categories, and there are several subcategories according to the theme below), wedding dress, Chinese style dress, makeup artist information, fleet information, Wedding photography, etc. All the information related to the wedding is classified and organized neatly, including text and pictures, which are constantly updated with fashion trends. Each piece of information has serious comments in italics by Xu Murui. Its content is rich and detailed, I am afraid that many people who are professionally engaged in wedding work can't match it.

She has been doing this rigorous work for 12 years. The binders have become thicker and thicker, and the wedding style has gone through a cycle. Xu Douxiao is finally willing to get married, and the binders can finally come in handy.

"What are you still doing lying there?" Mother Xu spread out her wedding booklet on the dining table in the living room with reading glasses, "Hurry up and go shopping! My son and daughter-in-law are coming back tonight."

"It was past eight o'clock when they arrived, what else would they eat?" Father Xu didn't bother to move, "I already ate in the car."

"Is the food on the train edible? Just make do with it! Is Ning Jun's current body able to make ends meet? Why don't you care at all, that's your grandson, the root of your old Xu family!"

Xu's father had no way to refute, he could only blame himself for guessing randomly just now, and even arranged the gender of the child in such a short period of time.

He shook his head, resigned himself to changing clothes and shopping for vegetables, and listened to Teacher Xu's arrangement. He bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables, Qin meat, eggs and milk that are good for pregnant women. grade.

Before six o'clock, the old couple of Xu's family made all the dishes into semi-finished products, and they just waited for the young couple to come in and fry them.

As soon as Xu Douxiao and Ning Jun entered the door, what they saw was such a warm welcome and they were forced to suppress their joy. They waited for them to announce the answer and then smiled lovingly and said, "Parents are people who have been here after all, so they have already guessed it"—— Such a turbulent atmosphere.

"Hey, why is Ning Ning's face so ugly, is it because he is uncomfortable on the train?"

When Xu's mother saw Ning Jun, she fell in love with her. She has a gentle and considerate personality, and she looks fair and clean. She takes good care of Xu Douxiao from head to toe. She looks like an ideal daughter-in-law. Every time she calls, she wants to chat again. He seemed to be cautious because he was afraid that he would run away with his daughter-in-law.

Seeing her face turning blue today, her heart ached so badly, she hurried in and arranged her on the sofa, and instructed Dad Xu to serve the soup, "Auntie knows that the food in the car is not good, so it's all ready, you drink the soup first, It has been boiled for more than three hours, and it is very nutritious."

"Thank you, Auntie." Ning Jun brought the soup and sipped it, while Father Xu happily watched her drink it, and hurried back to the kitchen to cook.

"Eat it later, Ningning, it's all your favorite dishes."

The more considerate the elders of the Xu family took care of her, the more uncomfortable Ning Jun felt. The warm heat from the soup made her eyes reddened, tears fell uncontrollably, and fell drop by drop into the soup bowl.

Her crying frightened Mother Xu: "What's the matter, Ningning? Why are you crying? Did Xu Douxiao bully you! Tell Auntie, I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

Ning Jun just cried and didn't say a word, Xu's mother had no choice but to turn her head and ask her son who had been silent all this time: "Xu Douxiao! What's going on! You bullied Ning Ning?! You two are so good, why can't you give way more?" point?"

Xu Douxiao didn't speak, and stood there like a piece of wood, his face was no better than Ning Jun's. Xu's mother suddenly realized that this sad and happy news might not be in the direction of joy.

She stabilized her mind and sat on the single sofa on one side: "What happened to you two? You hesitated on the phone and didn't say anything clearly, and you didn't say anything when you came back.

No matter what the matter is, listen to my old woman's advice, you have to forgive and forgive others, and it is a step to take a step back. It is not easy to find someone who can spend a lifetime together. "

Hearing her saying "together for a lifetime" Ning Jun cried even harder, Xu Douxiao took a deep breath while biting his molars, and Xu's mother continued: "Since you want to go home and tell us, then tell us everything." , the old man will help you explain the truth, some things are confusing to the authorities, but clear to the bystanders."

"He wants to break up with me." Ning Jun complained, sobbing, "Because of Yuan Ben!"

The words "break up" and "Yuan Ben" exploded in Xu's mother's head like two bombs, and their power was no less than the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima.
