Yan Chen booked a bus ticket for [-]:[-] p.m., and expected to arrive at the bus station in his hometown in five hours.

Before leaving, he told his roommate Andy about going home, and Andy responded indifferently as always.

Yan Chen moved to live with Andy two years ago. Since he broke up with his ex-boyfriend, it was a bit difficult for Yan Chen to bear all the rent alone, and he didn't want to continue living in the apartment with traces of Xu Zihao everywhere.After seeing the shared rental information posted by Andy on the Internet, Yan Chen immediately contacted Andy. After making an appointment to see the house on the spot, Yan Chen negotiated the details of the rental terms with Andy on the spot, and immediately moved in.This apartment building with brown facing bricks was built in the last century. There are shops on the ground floor and apartments on the first to eighth floors.There are two households on the first floor, the corridor is covered with mosaics, and the whole is retro and elegant.

The surrounding post offices, banks, hospitals, and supermarkets are all available, and there are bus and subway stations when you go out, making life and travel convenient.

It has been five or six years since Yan Chen came to S City. He worked, made friends, fell in love and suffered a broken love here. This bustling city that never sleeps has witnessed his happiness and sorrows as an adult, and his hometown has become a distant memory of youth in the ascendant. .

The bus was speeding on the road, and the scenery outside the window switched from tall buildings to empty and desolate fields and dilapidated rural areas.Yan Chen put his hands in his coat pockets, and was lost in the intense music of rock music with his headphones on.

Yan Chen wants to stay in City S. He likes the rich and diverse life in big cities, and it can give himself and his mother some buffer space, but the threshold of big cities is too high and requires millions of assets to settle in; However, friends and careers are all in City S. Going back means starting from scratch, and facing the anxious mother and neighbors' probing gazes.

In the eyes of these people, older unmarried youths are aliens, and they will be watched and discussed wherever they go.

This time, Yan Chen plans to stay for only three days when he goes back, one day to attend the wedding, and two days to stay at home with his parents.According to his past experience, the longer he stayed at home, the stronger his mother's dislike for him.The first two days are always the best. My mother is busy with all kinds of delicacies, wishing to make him gain three catties a day. On the third and fourth days, it is a sin to wake up late. When it comes to marriage, what about it? It's even more outrageous and resentful.Yan Chen was also in a dilemma. He wanted to stay at home until the end of the holiday, but he was afraid that he would have conflicts with his mother if he stayed too long, so he had to carefully keep a distance.

Arriving at the station was a little later than expected. When I got off the train, the humid air hit me head-on.

Yan Chen walked through the station lobby, took a taxi, and drove towards home.

"It's hot in the morning and rainy at noon. The weather is not normal."

"Really."

"Going home on vacation? Where do you work?"

"S City."

"A small house of [-] to [-] square meters in a big city costs several million dollars. We ordinary people can't earn so much money in a few lifetimes."

"The salary at work is quite high, right? How much is it a month?"

"good."

Yan Chen was sitting in the closed back seat, and there were densely packed small shops facing the street, with signboards of XX Tobacco Hotel and XX Noodle Restaurant, straightforward and full of the vulgarity of ordinary people, this is the original appearance of life.

After driving for 10 minutes, Yan Chen stepped into the house with simple luggage.Yan Chen's home is a small two-story building with a front garden, which was renovated on the original homestead. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted on both sides of the courtyard gate bloomed golden flowers, and a strong fragrance of flowers wafted from the nostrils.

"Have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

"Wash your hands and eat."

Mother quickly brought out a warm dinner from the kitchen.As soon as he smelled the aroma of the food, Yan Chen felt hungry, and his hungry stomach made a rumbling sound.

"Is it very busy at work? It feels like you've lost weight again."

"No, it's your illusion."

After eating, Yan Chen sat on the sofa, and soon his eyelids gradually drooped.He was bumpy on the road for half a day, and he was indeed a little tired. His mother urged Yan Chen to go back to his room and sleep.

The room was the second one from the left on the second floor, and Yan Chen fell asleep right after returning to the room.Yan Chen slept soundly on a soft pillow and covered with a quilt with the fragrance of the sun, and woke up with the sun shining brightly.After washing up, Yan Chen changed his clothes, and when he went downstairs, he saw his mother wearing a cold blue coat and taking a selfie in the mirror.

"Does it look good? Is this color too young?"

"It's pretty, just wear this."

This pure wool coat was bought by Yan Chen in the shopping mall when his mother came to S City last year.My mother was over fifty years old, but she was still thin and lean. The light gray overcoat with a little light blue lined her white skin, and her elegant charm was eye-catching.Yan Chen's facial features followed his mother's.

"Are you ready? It's almost ten o'clock."

Father waited impatiently downstairs, and his fiery temper suddenly came up.

"You are a person, you have gone early and you don't know how to open the table, so why don't you have to wait."

Mother brushed her hair in front of the mirror, took the small leather bag and went downstairs.

The family of three took a taxi to the hotel.The newlyweds have already greeted relatives and friends who came to congratulate in the hotel lobby.Fifty or sixty tables of wine and banquets were placed in the gorgeous banquet hall. Relatives and friends gathered together were standing or sitting on the ground chatting and joking, and the noise of people overwhelmed the sound of music.

The staff of the wedding company was doing adjustments on the stage. Yan Chen sat on the seat and looked down at his mobile phone. He hoped that no one would disturb him during the period before the wedding ceremony.It's not that he's naturally withdrawn, it's just that he hates being asked about personal matters.

"When will you eat your candy?"

The aunt who lived in the county came over and took my mother's hand and asked.

"I don't have a date yet. There is a good girl to introduce."

"You're not too young, and when you see something suitable, you have to start talking formally."

"It's useless for us to be impatient as adults. The key is for them to know how to be anxious."

"This matter can't be delayed. The age is getting older year by year. You see, my Linlin's children are all in kindergarten."

Auntie put one hand on Yan Chen's shoulder, earnestly coaxing him.

"..."

The elders more or less like to pass on life experience as someone who has experienced it. Although it is well intentioned, people will get bored if they listen to it too much. Yan Chen really wants to end this awkward chat immediately.

"Their young people talk about love and love all day long, which is unrealistic."

Seeing that Yan Chen didn't respond, my aunt turned to her mother for approval.

"It still depends on fate, if they take a fancy to it."

The mother smoothed things over for Yan Chen, with a forced smile on her face.

"Don't be so high-sighted, settle down when you meet something similar, and don't let your parents worry about it."

The well-built aunt was divorced in the early years. It is said that the ex-uncle couldn't stand the aunt's violent temper and filed for divorce. Later, the aunt remarried and continued to quarrel with the current uncle, and her life was bumpy.

In Yan Chen's view, aunt and uncle are like two mismatched bearings, forced to mesh together because of life, and finally lost each other's characteristics under the influence of time and were ground into a distorted shape.

"Marriage is a real life. Now there are fewer girls and more boys. The older you are, the harder it is to find a partner."

"Dear guests, good morning, everyone."

The voice of the wedding master of ceremonies sounded on the stage, and the chattering voice gradually died down, and my aunt's attention was shifted to the stage.

The lights of the banquet hall focused on the center of the banquet hall. When the wedding ceremony and music sounded, the cousin wearing a white wedding dress, holding a bouquet in one hand and holding the second uncle's arm in one hand, solemnly walked towards the groom waiting at one end.The two are about to join hands to start a new life, Yan Chen sincerely wishes the cousin a happy marriage.

After the ceremony, the exquisitely prepared dishes were brought up one after another. For a while, the banquet hall was full of wine, and the cousin and the groom, who were dressed in red embroidered Chinese dresses, toasted the guests at each table with wine glasses. .

After the wedding banquet, the mother bid farewell to the cousin, and Yan Chen followed behind with the wedding candy.

"Happy wedding."

"Thank you auntie."

"I don't know when your brother will get married, he's already 29, and he doesn't care about his affairs at all!"

The mother glanced at Yan Chen with hatred, and sighed sadly.

"Brother will definitely meet someone he likes, so don't worry, Auntie."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to his cousin, Yan Chen slowly walked out of the hotel lobby.

"Brother, wait a minute."

The cousin behind her walked quickly through the crowd, holding a round bouquet in her hand.

"This is for you, I hope it will bring you good luck."

"Thank you."

Yan Chen took the bouquet made of white lily of the valley, the small bouquet felt a little heavy in his hand.It is said that getting the bride's bouquet indicates that she will soon enter the palace of marriage.
