can you let me go

The shopping guide could see clearly that it was the little girl who looked like a doll in the front who made the decision, and the one in the back was the one who came to pay the bill, so she warmly entertained Pei Xiangqing.

When he came out of the store, Pei Xiangli was already carrying several bags in his hands. When passing by a men's clothing store, Pei Xiangqing suddenly saw that a piece of clothing in the window couldn't walk, and dragged Pei Xiangli into the store.

"Brother, try this dress, you'll definitely look good in it!" Pei Xiangli followed the direction of her finger and saw a rather elegant... long shirt with a row of buttons on the hem of the gray linen material.

Pei Xiangli narrowed his eyes: I always feel that this style seems a bit familiar.

Before he could refuse, the shopping guide had already brought over the size that was suitable for Pei Xiangli. Under Pei Xiangqing's expectant gaze, Pei Xiangli hesitated for a moment before walking into the fitting room.

The trademark on the neckline scratched the headband, and Pei Xiangli took it off, and when he looked up at the mirror, he suddenly realized that this dress seemed to be similar to the style in that strange comic book... the only difference, It's just that I'm still wearing pants!

Pei Xiangqing opened the door of the fitting room with complicated thoughts. She didn't know that the secret had been discovered. After looking up and down, she gave Pei Xiangli a thumbs up sincerely: "Brother, you are so beautiful!"

something is wrong with you...

In the end, under Pei Xiangqing's insistence, Pei Xiangli still paid for this strange and unremarkable shirt, and bought a coat according to Pei Xiangqing's aesthetics. The two of them ate two McFlys at McDonald's. After that, I took a taxi home with trembling.

When Aunt Zou opened the bag in Pei Xiangli's hand, she frowned: "Xiaoqing! Let your brother spend so much money on you again!"

She unfolded a white dress with a lotus leaf collar: "I won't let you buy it, so you tricked your brother into buying it for you! This dress has such a big collar, won't your neck be cold when you wear it?"

Pei Xiangqing changed her shoes, sneaked behind Pei Xiangli like a thief, and complained: "My mother and I have different aesthetics, she always buys me things that kindergarten children wear!"

"The one you bought looks good? When you wear it out and freeze you to death, you'll know how powerful it is!"

Pei Xiangli was sandwiched between the mother and daughter, and pushed back the grimacing Pei Xiangqing, and said to Aunt Zou, "It's all right, it's just because of the big collar, Xiaoqing bought a scarf on purpose, and she even picked out one for you."

After all, Aunt Zou took out two cashmere scarves from another bag.

Aunt Zou:...

"Xiao Li, don't spoil her all the time, she's not very young, and her temper is not small!"

Pei Xiangli laughed along with him, and pushed Pei Xiangqing's back for a year. The two walked along with the rest of the shopping bags and sneaked upstairs, leaving Aunt Zou standing there and sighing helplessly.

"Xiaoqing will spoil you two sooner or later!" She complained to Father Pei who was sitting there looking at the phone with a serious face, pretending not to know what was going on here.

Because the place I was going to was remote and there was no direct flight, I calculated the time and bought a sleeper berth on the train, and got off the train nine hours later in the morning.

Pei Xiangli hadn't been on this kind of green leather train for many years. As soon as he got on the train, he was frightened by the crowd of people. He barely avoided the luggage on the ground and helped Pei Xiangqing find his own compartment.

Because I bought it early, I bought five of the six beds in one carriage, and the passenger in the remaining bed hadn't boarded the train yet. Pei Xiangqing began to feel strange. After the train staggered for a while in the dark night, she didn't She was refreshed, and she and Pei Xiangli huddled together on the lower bunk, leaning against Pei Xiangli, drowsy.

Pei Xiangli had difficulty sleeping at first, but now in this environment, with his head against the wall, he was not sleepy at all, wearing earphones, looking out of the window at a place that was extraordinarily dark because he was driving outside the city.

Zhou Jibai came back from the outside with a chill in his body. When he opened the door, the inside of the house was even colder than the outside. Although the heating and geothermal heat were sufficient, the inside of the house was dark and empty, and there was no atmosphere at all. Zhou's father and mother had a company dinner today. There is also a live broadcast at night, and I live directly in the hotel.

Zhou Jibai remembered the time of Pei Xiangli's train ticket, and he should have sent a message on WeChat shortly after boarding the train.

In the end, after waiting for a while, Zhou Jibai did not receive a reply. Zhou Jibai changed into his sports clothes, went upstairs to the fitness room, dialed Pei Xiangli's phone, turned on the speakerphone, and set up the treadmill.

"Sorry, the person you dialed is not available right now."

After exercising, Zhou Jibai stared at the phone screen, thought for a while, and dialed Liu Quan's number.

"Master! Can you stop thinking that it's just a job? When I asked you a few days ago, you said that you didn't want to take a job during the New Year, and you will be thirty in ten minutes. You have become dedicated, why? , I grow up one year, does my career also grow along with everything?"

"Crack!" Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Liu Quan put down the phone and muttered a few words.

Pei Xiangli was woken up by the sound of the suitcase being dragged across the floor. He opened his eyes and saw a young man with a bus ticket standing in front of the empty bed opposite. Seeing that Pei Xiangli was woken up, he apologized to him in embarrassment. .

Pei Xiangli found himself covered with a coat. Pei Xiangqing was carried to the upper bed at some point. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was already five o'clock in the morning. The sun rises late in the northern winter, and it was still dark outside at this time. As if ink had been spilled, Pei Xiangli nodded to the young man, turned over from the bed and sat up, went to the bathroom to wash his face.

The cold air from the aisle poured into the nostrils, making people wake up instantly. Standing by the car door, he clicked on his phone, and found that Zhou Jibai had more than ten unread messages on WeChat, and two missed calls.

Looking at the time, it should be that the signal on the train is not good, so I didn't receive it.

Pei Xiangli subconsciously clicked the call back first, but fortunately he realized it before dialing out. It was too early, and Zhou Jibai probably hadn't woken up yet. When he clicked on WeChat, most of Zhou Jibai's white hairs were insignificant thing.

"Are you in the car?"

"Are there many people on the bus? What time will you arrive at the station tomorrow morning?"

"Why did the world evaporate? Didn't you reply to my message?" A series of questions like a little tadpole looking for his mother were sent intermittently from ten o'clock to two o'clock in the morning.

Looking at the phone screen, Pei Xiangli was thoughtful, he and Zhou Jibai had reunited for such a long time, if he still didn't notice Zhou Jibai's inexplicable attention to him, then Pei Xiangli would be a fool!Zhou Jibai seems to have invaded his life from every aspect of his life, and...with an inexplicable clinginess.

As long as the two of you are not together, the message call will never be disconnected, just like that...

Pei Xiangli didn't continue to think about it, but seriously answered every question Zhou Jibai asked on WeChat.

"There was no signal on the bus last night, and it arrived at the station around six o'clock, and I will reply to your message."

Anyone who reads this kind of chat record has to say: boring.

After standing for a while, Father Pei opened the door and came out, still holding the toiletries in his hand. Father Pei saw Pei Xiangli and told him, "Go back and help tidy up after you finish packing, don't leave anything behind."

Pei Xiangli nodded, put away his phone and went back to the car.

When I got off the train, there was already a pale streak in the sky, and this was not the end. For the next three hours, I first got on the bus at the train station and headed to the county below.

Then from the county seat, I took a rented van to the village where my hometown is located.

After the car drove out of the county town, Pei Xiangli was dumbfounded. Driving up the unrepaired dirt road was like a roller coaster. When the driver's reminder sounded, Pei Xiangli was bumped and hit his head on the roof of the car.

Pei Xiangli: ...?

Before being knocked into a fool, the car finally drove to the gate of the village. Father Pei looked at a two-story school not far away, and said to Pei Xiangqing with nostalgia: "Dad used to go to primary school there. After so many years, it’s still pretty much the same as before.”

When the car drove into the village, there were only two roads facing each other. In the distance, there were thick black soil and crop fields covered by snow.

When he stopped at the gate of the yard, Pei Xiangli rubbed his neck and got out of the car. A couple in thick cotton clothes came out of the house to greet him. Father Pei patted Pei Xiangli and Pei Xiangqing: "This is the second uncle and aunt, call someone quickly." !"

This old house was originally lived by the old lady of the Pei family. The second couple took care of the old lady. After the old lady passed away, they still lived here.

After hurriedly moving the luggage and things into the house, there were more and more people in the house one after another. Pei Xiangli was fine, and he still had a little impression of these relatives, but Pei Xiangqing didn't know any of them. She was obedient Sitting next to Pei Xiangli, it was rare to be a little shy.

Pei Xiangli saw that Pei Xiangqing was uncomfortable, and after saying hello, he explained to Father Pei that he would take Pei Xiangqing out for a stroll. Father Pei nodded: "There is a supermarket at the entrance of the village, go and buy something before you come back!"

After leaving the yard, Pei Xiangqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, why do we have so many relatives?"

Pei spread his hands to Li Tan, thinking that I still find it strange.

The two walked along a straight road, and they found a supermarket at the entrance of the village. Pei Xiangqing went in to choose, and Pei Xiangli stood at the door. Before he could take out his phone, he heard a familiar person greet him: " Are you from the old Pei family from the city?"

Pei Xiangli turned his head and saw an aunt in a blue padded jacket talking to him, and a woman standing beside her was pulling a child who was looking at Pei Xiangli curiously.

Seeing Pei Xiangli's embarrassment, she smiled and said, "I live across the street and just saw you get out of the car. My surname is Liu. You can just call me auntie."

Just in time for Pei Xiangqing to come out of the supermarket with a bag, Pei Xiangli took out a bag of candy, bent down and handed it to the child: "Happy New Year, auntie."

The child glanced at the adults around him, and Aunt Liu smiled: "Take what uncle gave you!"

Pei Xiangli only felt that she was choked up by the word uncle, and Aunt Liu over there obviously couldn't get enough of it: "These two children grow up well..." She said to the daughter on the side, then turned back and asked Pei Xiangli: "How old are you this year?"

"25."

As a result, Aunt Liu's next sentence made Pei Xiangli feel unable to answer: "Are you married?"

"...No."

"I'm still not married at this age, look at my girl!" She pointed to the woman beside her: "One year older than you, the children are all in school!"

After finally getting rid of her enthusiastic aunt, Pei Xiangli felt tired on the first day back.

Originally, I wanted to stroll outside for a while, but the wind in the wilderness was much wilder than indoors, and the snow under my feet creaked. After staying for a few minutes, the two brothers and sisters went back to the room where the stove was burning.

Sitting on the edge of the hot Kang, Pei Xiangli stretched out his hand to pick an orange, ate half of it by himself, and stuffed the other half into Pei Xiangqing's mouth. Afterwards, he saw a few children from unknown families, some boys and some girls. , Noisy came in from the outside.

Aunt Zou pushed Pei Xiangqing's back: "Go, share the food with everyone, don't be clingy to your brother, go out and play with them!"

Pei Xiangqing pouted, being urged by her mother to distribute snacks to the children, she turned her head and wanted to drag Pei Xiangli along, but saw her own brother shrugging his shoulders, looking helpless and asking for blessings,

He pursed his mouth and walked out with a bag of snacks.
