Tobacco and alcohol harm people.The old Ban Qishiling suffered from coronary heart disease. When he had colic, he fell hard while riding an electric car on the road. He was sent to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said: common diseases of middle-aged and elderly people. A bridge is suggested.

Zhao Jiaqi of Banyue had a rare vacation, and it was messed up. When she heard that Tianwang Laozi had been sent to the emergency room, she was so frightened that she sweated, and rushed back from abroad in a hurry.Pressing the regulatory line, I raced from the airport to the ward, and saw someone with legs up on the bed, sipping an unlighted cigarette, and chatting with an old man in the clinic with a smile on his face.Angry brain hurts.Ban Yue put down his coat and kicked the legs of the bed: Are you having fun?Then, I will ask Jiaqi to find someone to build a Yangtze River Bridge for you later, okay?

The old man in the bed next door came out of the hospital the next day. Before leaving, he whispered to the nursing office, saying, please hold on to my bed next door.

Don't say that the old class Taoli is all over the world, at least it's all over South China.As soon as the news of the teacher's surgery, the news spread, all the answers that should be answered.You Kaifeng happened to be in Qingyi, and drove his father's car to pick up Li Yuan and Peng Xiaoman at the airport.He was still teasing on the phone, saying: "The housekeeper of the Li mansion, I can't escape for the rest of my life, look at your two faces."

It’s been almost eight years since we left, and we’ve had a lot of chats on WeChat and phone calls, but we’ve rarely seen each other in person.

You Kaifeng graduated from the East China Film Academy as a graduate student in drama performance. He failed to stand on the screen and chose to stand on the stage of the theater.In fact, there are not as many performance opportunities as imagined. Most of them take the script to pick out the words and sentences in the script book, and go over and over again in the practice room.But whenever he puts on the costume, opens the curtain, clicks, clicks and steps towards the top light, the emotion surging in his bones makes his blood boil slightly.Say to yourself: You Kaifeng, you are not in the wrong line, you just love this.

People who choose the theater stage usually have a sense of arrogance and unconsciously become extraordinary self-discipline.You Kaifeng is no exception.He has been doing well in the early days, and since entering school, he has strictly controlled the three meals he eats, and he also does regular aerobic and anaerobic exercises. After a few years, his figure is almost as good as a male model. Tianshou's Li Yuan looks fine.Peng Xiaoman opened his mouth wide in surprise in the airport lobby, and circled You Kaifeng three times: "Is that you, Lord Kai?!"

You Kaifeng compared a bodybuilder's flamboyant posture, shaking his plump chest muscles, smiling so hard that his teeth can't be seen, his face was still the same, he opened his mouth and grinned: "It's me, Xiao Manjun! It's your gentle, rich and five Alright Kay!"

"Let me post you on Quora." Peng Xiaoman hugged him, measured his considerable shoulder width, "What kind of experience is it to counterattack?"

"Send me a link and I'll watch." You Kaifeng shunned his back, "Aren't you a Chinese teacher, remember to praise me out of the flowers, and expose my Weibo account after you have [-] likes." .”

Li Yuan stood behind her, pushing a small suitcase, raised her eyebrows and looked at the two who were quite affectionate in front of her: "One dares to praise and the other dares to agree."

"Hey, brother dei." You Kaifeng let go of Peng Xiaoman, shook his head and slyly rubbed his face, hung his left arm around Li Yuan's neck, and punched his chest with his fist: "Are you out of cultivation? I touched Xiaoman." Don’t you fucking hit me, Jun? Don’t you eat vinegar? Don’t you follow him around? Where did he go? Where did you go?”

It's like it was yesterday, just beside the side of the head.Li Yuan leaned forward with her elbow, tilted her head to look at his well-defined facial features, and smiled unabated: "Handsome is handsome, but your debt has remained very stable for so many years."

"Fuck off."

A silly joke.

The three of them went directly to the Third City Hospital.On the road, it is like weaving light rain from the end of summer to autumn. Driving south along Binjiang Avenue, the Wunan River is always rushing, winding and cruising beside it. Because from far to near, Luzhou is still small and far away. Like a dense leafy green spot.

It is unreasonable and unrealistic to say that it is still as unrestrained as eighteen, and it is true that the intersection is getting smaller and the gap is increasing, and it is indeed changing.

"Isn't Xu Ming also studying in Germany?" You Kaifeng asked while driving.Peng Xiaoman sat in the co-pilot, and Li Yuan sat in the back seat. "You two agreed to go there, right? Anyway, I don't think Germany is interesting and I can't stay here."

"Coincidentally, I bumped into one place, and I only found out later that he studied for a master's degree in Germany." Li Yuan peeked out the side window, "You are traveling and I am studying, and I also want to return early."

"It's your goal in life to be clingy with Xiao Manjun, right?" You Kai smiled, "Hey, have you seen the old and new girlfriend? Have you sent a photo to you?"

"Don't ask him about gossips. He has been engaged in projects this year, and he is living or dead. Hermit, it is difficult for me to contact him during the day." Peng Xiaoman put his palms behind his head: "I saw it, it is very beautiful, Say two people are a research director?"

"Then I don't know, so I just like it." You Kaifeng turned on the windshield wipers and changed lanes, "It's not easy for me to ask."

"Don't ask." Li Yuan twirled the platinum ring on her middle finger, "Isn't that the case, there are a lot."

"There are numbers, why don't you count them? It's only when you have too many..." You Kaifeng glanced at the rearview mirror, and said happily, "Hey, you two have been talking for almost ten years, why haven't you got married yet? How many jobs have you done?"

Peng Xiaoman made him laugh: "You changed the topic too quickly."

"Isn't it because you are in your twenties?"

"The law doesn't allow it even when you're over eighty." Li Yuan asked the key point: "You want to ask when the two of us will have a showdown?"

You Kaifeng patted the root of his thigh: "The IQ of Kaobo people is high."

"Undecided." Li Yuan patted the seat of the co-pilot, and asked the person involved democratically: "How about this time?"

You Kaifeng stared blankly, choking and laughing: "Fuck, I brought you to discuss it now."

The evening bridge heron glides past, and the wet water vapor blurs the outline.

Li Yuan will go to Germany for a two-year exchange next spring, and the last layer of gold plating will be finished before she returns.Peng Xiaoman, a postgraduate student of Chinese language, stayed in the High School Attached to Lee Normal University as an intern to teach as soon as he graduated, with a clear goal: when Li Yuan returns to China, where does he go and where does he go.There is no doubt and examination, not to the point of heartbreak, but I feel that this is a necessary step in life.Xiaobie this thing, although the taste of it is mixed, but it is enough to love and not to let go, and it is only a blink of an eye.

Li Yuan studied for a master's degree for three years, and received both academic scholarships and national scholarships. Peng Xiaoman was slightly inferior to him, and only received an academic scholarship.After deducting tuition and living expenses, the two can still save 2 yuan a year.The two share a CCB card, and they don't know when it started. If they have spare money, they will swipe it in and save it as a convention.Peng Xiaoman's first month's internship salary was transferred to this card.Li Yuan looked at the total amount later and found that it was not too small, so she said that it was almost time to make a down payment for a car.Peng Xiaoman didn't agree, and said don't be beautiful, continue to move bricks, continue to save, and when you come back from Germany, we may be able to pay a down payment for a small apartment.our own home.

Saving was a word they both used very well, like another way of saying that the branches and twigs of a tree live in symbiosis.

Showdown or not, the meaning is big, but not big.

The old class thought that I was sick and busier than the fucking national leaders, batch after batch of students, batch after batch of flowers and fruit baskets, such a big row of noodles.But Lao Ban felt that his memory was not bad, he knew and remembered whoever came, and those pictures were always rooted in his memory.When the three of Peng Xiaoman came, he had just sent two of them away. He was hanging a bottle of water, smoking a cigarette in his mouth for a dry drink.Hearing the knock on the door, he called out to Jin.

It's impossible to say no, especially when I sit up and look up in a daze, I realize that the three seedlings who were immature before now look like young talents, so tall and straight, so good.It's an indescribable taste.

After chatting a few words about the illness that didn't cause much trouble, and chatting about their current situation, the old class poured water on them, so he deliberately handed them three cigarettes.No need to wave your hands, five good young people.

"Now you know you don't want to smoke?" Old Ban hid the cigarette case of the lighter under the pillow, and smiled while pulling at the stubble on his chin: "What about when you were in school? You two will be caught every now and then."

"I didn't pursue it back then." You Kaifeng glanced at Li Yuan, "Now people need to improve."

"Now that you are so decent, when will you find a beautiful girlfriend?" Lao Ban stuffed a red snake fruit into each of their hands: "If you don't eat it, it will be spoiled, and if you take it home, you can't handle it. You can eat one if you eat it." .”

You Kaifeng hugged his head with an "ouch" and said, "Why are you just like my dad?"

"Don't be here, oh, it's time to arrive, just look, you have been working steadily for the past two years, your seven aunts and eight aunts have sprung up to be your matchmaker." The old class lifted his chin Bibi Li Yuan and Peng Xiaoman: "You two, don't even think about running away."

Peng Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and rubbed his nose.

"Do you wonder?" The old class rested his hands on the back of his head, looked at the pair of rings on their fingers, and sighed at the smallpox: "Isn't this the case in the country, worrying about it for a lifetime is not worth it, and I have no experience." .”

Li Yuan rubbed her index finger and thumb together.

"As for what I'm talking about, if you want to talk, you should hold on tightly. It's not too small. Before going abroad, set a certain direction for the future."

Li Yuan nodded: "That's the plan."

"You have to go early and late in this chess. If you are late, you might as well have this momentum."

"...You were in a showdown back then, didn't you hit anyone?" Peng Xiaoman couldn't help asking.

"Then you are naive. When I got angry at that time, I was being polite by copying the stick and not breaking his leg." Old Ban joked: "Hurry up, buy a set of accident insurance first, and be careful."

"Oh my god, it's a fierce battle." Peng Xiaoman frowned, looked at Li Yuan bitterly, and slapped him on the knee: "Why don't we go out of this closet quickly and quickly, I don't dare to fight you!" Your dad, if he really hits me, I'll be a catch at most."

You Kaifeng gnawed on the red snake fruit and covered his cheeks, and Lao Ban lay on the bed happily.

Li Yuan and Peng Xiaoman planned to wait for the old class to finish the surgery before leaving.Grandma Xiaoman sold Qingyi’s old house when Peng Xiaoman was a junior, and moved to Yungu to live with Peng Junsong. Peng Xiaoman almost no longer has close and intuitive ties with Qingyi, but he still has to follow Li Yuan Once a year, look at the scenery, smell the smell, and feel lighter physically and mentally when you see Wunan River.Lin Yixiong and Qiu Jing had already set up a new property in the Binjiang New District, but the old house in Zhujiatang was not sold, and it was put on hold, day and night looking forward to the return of the municipal government.A room of 100 million!

When Li Yuan came back, she still lived in Zhujiatang most of the days, and the tenants of Liushui changed from batch to batch, but Peng Xiaoman was the only one who slept next to his bed from the rented room on the first floor of Li Lane.The desk at home has not been thrown away, piles of teaching aids are still there, everything is the same.When Peng Xiaoman came back, he had to rub around for a while, sniffing like a pup, and then hugged Li Yuan and howled: Bao'er really wants to go to high school with you again, fuck.Peng Xiaoman basically has three fixed ways to call Li Yuan now, calling Shaoxia when he is happy, calling him by his full name when he is serious, and calling Baoer when no one else is getting tired of it.

Li Yuan was still the same, she was more pragmatic than dreaming, she persuaded him to wake up, saying: Instead of thinking about going to high school with me again, it is better to look forward to marrying me.

After tidying up the bed at night, he found Lu's high school uniform. Peng Xiaoman tried it on and found that his figure hadn't changed at all. Li Yuan's clothes from eight years ago still looked like he was wearing a face pocket.It was like some sort of play, Li Yuan couldn't hold back, and pushed him to the bed to settle the matter.After climbing to the top, the color is empty, lying on the bed and recharging energy, Peng Xiaoman kicked Li Yuan with his bare legs: "You really want to say? Tomorrow?"

"Say, I can't help it anymore." Li Yuan kissed Peng Xiaoman's fingers one by one: "After you finish speaking, you will enter my family tree. My family is now, and I can rest assured when I am abroad."

Peng Xiaoman kicked again: "Get out."

Li Yuan turned over, pressed the person down, and stared at him with her head down: "Is Li Xiaoman not good?"

"I found that my name is okay with everything. It's very simple." Peng Xiaoman stroked his hair, gave him a big light, and asked, "Is my surname Peng not good, Bao'er? Peng Yuan... um... ...not very nice."

"If my dad wants to beat me, just take Xiaoxiao to play, don't talk, don't stop, huh?" Li Yuan bit his mischievous finger.

Peng Xiaoman caressed his eyebrows, "Uncle, do you want...a gun?"

"Tsk." Li Yuan didn't know how to scold him, and said angrily, "Do you have any common sense, Mr. Peng? The gun is an optional police weapon, and my dad doesn't have it. But...he seems to have handcuffs and a tear gas sprayer .”

"I rely on tear gas." Peng Xiaoman stared, "Then you might as well stand and let him shoot you."

"You said a policeman started fighting with my son. I'm not going to call the police. Whoever is responsible for a police station?" Li Yuan pretended to be distressed, put her head on Peng Xiaoman's shoulder, and sighed, "Getting out of the closet is like filming a gangster movie. I still can't beat him."

"Let's not go out after thinking about it." Peng Xiaoman hugged him, put his heels on his waist, said he was stepping on his back, he was kicking, "Really, let's not talk about it, let's keep it a secret for now."

"not good."

Peng Xiaoman snorted his head, "You can't take it as a task."

"It's the mission, it's my mission." Li Yuan raised her head, "It's my mission to make you feel free from my family."

"You're just too stubborn, you know."

"I'm just too—"

Li Yuan licked her mouth, smiled and didn't finish speaking.

Peng Xiaoman knew what he wanted to say, didn't listen, felt uncomfortable all over, so he pinched his neck and said angrily, "Say it, you're a wife!"

Li Yuan shook her head and lay flat, let go of him, "Don't say it, I don't want to say it anymore."

"Your uncle's surname is Li, why are you so indebted!" With a shrug, Peng Xiaoman straightened himself up and sat on Li Yuan, making him frown, "Hurry up! You are too big!"

Li Yuan resisted stubbornly.Peng Xiaoman leaned over to kiss his forehead, brow, nose and bridge of nose, humming stickyly: "Say..."

Li Yuantian was the first to be soft and not hard, tied his hands and feet, sighed and confessed: "I am, I love you so much."

Peng Xiaoman nestled in his arms foolishly, feeling comfortable physically and mentally, and his back molars fell out.

Lin Xiao unexpectedly clings to Li Yuan, and follows him around when he sees him.Lin Xiao is in the first grade. She is pretty and has a sweet mouth. She yells "Brother" crisply, which makes Li Yuan unexpectedly discover that she is not only a fluffy Peng Xiaoman control, but also a sister control.The next day at noon, I went to Lin Yixiong Qiujing's house for dinner, and when Lin Xiao answered the doorbell, Peng Xiaoman heard a rattling sound as soon as he went up to the second floor. Looking up, Lin Xiao, who was not a little big, stepped on a pair of plastic mops and came to greet him. , looking at his face, he was clearly a pink little Li Yuan. "Brother! Brother!" With a voice so cute that the liver trembled, no one could stop it.Seeing her rising, Li Yuan hurriedly stretched her arms and squatted down, catching a small cannonball stuck in her arms, and picked her up with one hand.

Lin Xiao blah blah, blah blah, stamped a string of official seals on Li Yuan's face without any mess.

"Mother." Peng Xiaoman couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Yuan carried the octopus-like Lin Xiao up to the fifth floor, and said to Peng Xiaoman, "Let's find out about Killer Lolita, will I give you a face?"

"It makes me want to have a daughter too." Peng Xiaoman smacked his lips, "I can hold her in my arms for 24 hours without letting go."

"I second the proposal." Li Yuan paused, "I will give birth to someone like you."

"Like yours!" Lin Xiao shouted, her eyes were exposed on Li Yuan's shoulders, and she bent towards Peng Xiaoman.

Lin Yixiong was cooking in the kitchen, looking like a five-star chef, making the flames splatter everywhere.Qiu Jing poured water to wash the fruit, Lin Xiao brought two tin buckets of candy and snacks from her small study room and stuffed them into Li Yuan and Peng Xiaoman's arms.Peng Xiaoman put her on his lap, peeled hickory and pistachios for her, peeled one and gave one to her mouth, listened to her chewing and chewing, and asked her softly what she wanted to eat, and my brother would help you.Li Yuan leaned on her chin with her arm, looked at them, and didn't know who her heart was for.

"Is it ready?" Li Yuan went into the kitchen, leaving Chou Jing to chat with Peng Xiaoman, "Take it out?"

Lin Yixiong was wearing an apron, and he was fat for a long time. Once a middle-aged man gained weight, he couldn't stop him.He waved his hand, pointing to the small white pot on the cupboard, "Hey, don't rush to take it, I still have to return the pot, you can taste that shit first and see how it goes, I learned it online."

Li Yuan picked up a piece of pork belly soaked in soup with chopsticks, chewed it in her mouth, and nodded: "Not bad."

"Your Auntie Qiu made a lot of hot sauce. She is not from the Southwest. You can get a jar later and take some away." Lin Yixiong turned the pot and stir-fried the choy sum, "It's very fragrant, you can bring some to it. Overseas, if you are not used to eating foreign food, you can use that mixed with noodles.”

"Then I'll decorate it for Peng Xiaoman too." Li Yuan picked up another piece of snail meat.

"You pack it, you put a big jar back home, and you share it with him when you get back." Lin Yixiong turned off the fire and loaded the plate, "Does Xiao Man like to eat preserved meat? There are also preserved chicken legs, sausages and duck feet buns at home. You pack it yourself."

"Ah."

Lin Yixiong smiled: "Looking at Xiaoman in the past few years, he is also a little skinny."

"He's just like that, and I don't expect him to grow up."

Lin Yixiong untied his apron, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Return your hopes?"

"I'm counting on it." Li Yuan nodded, put down her chopsticks, went to wash her hands under the faucet, "I like him a little fatter."

Lin Yixiong froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan leaned against the washbasin and stared out of the window. There was a flower stand outside the window, and there were two half-open pots of small roses with yellow stamens.

"Hey, the cigarettes are gone." Lin Yixiong patted Li Yuan's shoulder after folding up his apron to hang on the door: "Come down with me to buy a pack, we'll talk on the way."

Lin Yixiong responded silently for 15 minutes.After a while, I squatted beside the flower bed in the community, unwrapped the newly bought golden leaves, and smoked two in a row.Li Yuan didn't say much, and squatted beside him.

"You..." Lin Yixiong dusted off the cigarette, squinted his eyes and pursed his mouth deeply, "You two, what is that, talking about dating, right?"

Li Yuan nodded, grabbed a green grass stalk, squeezed the end and swept it on the palm of her hand.

"My darling." Lin Yixiong bowed his head and counted with his fingers: "Second year and high school year, four years in college, three years in graduate school, you two have been hiding it from us for seven or eight years? Good guys, you guys can really hold back, why don't you tell me? , Ten or 20 years, if you don’t tell me later, I don’t even know about it.”

Li Yuan knotted the grass stem, "You will find it strange later on."

"I thought it was weird a long time ago." Lin Yixiong coughed his head towards the other end, spit out phlegm, and cleared his throat, "It's strange how good brothers and friends can be wrapped so tightly, and let him follow you so firmly , You said you didn’t have any wild thoughts, so how could it be possible? Your father and I came to the police station to see these weird things. I have seen all kinds of unimaginable things. What don’t you know? "

"It's not that he followed me." Li Yuan shook her head, correcting Lin Yixiong's mistake, "I followed him."

"Tch!" Lin Yixiong was disdainful enough, shaking his head and laughing contemptuously, "It's also a coward, with no future."

Li Yuan was amused by him.

"If you are an idle bum now, if you tell me this, just because you have been in love with a little boy for seven or eight years, I can break your leg." Lin Yixiong pressed the cigarette butt on the ground, and threw the cigarette butt into the sewer Li, "Don't be afraid, you asked me to hit you. First, I am too old to beat you, and second, I may not be able to beat you."

"Not necessarily."

"Yo, let's try it." Lin Yixiong rolled up his sleeves at Li Yuan.

"Try." Li Yuanzhen made a gesture to stand up.

"Hey, go, go, go, if you want to fight, don't fight outside." Lin Yixiong shook his arm, and after a while of silence, he said, "I don't know how to say it. Your father and I are in a very complicated mood. I can't speak Chinese. I can’t tell. You can say you’re sad, but it’s okay, it’s not that far. If you say happy, you won’t be happy, and you won’t feel more comfortable than bringing back a decent daughter-in-law. But how to say it... ...tsk."

Lin Yixiong scratched his head, left and right after scratching, "I think you are really happy."

Li Yuan pursed her lips and looked at the ground, where an ant was crawling around.

"Really, Dad thinks you have been very happy these past few years. How do you say it... suddenly, but this word?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with the grammar."

"Then what's the picture?" Lin Yixiong waved his hand, "Actually, it's just...not drawing anything."

Your excellence has given me the courage to believe that you will have a wonderful life.

Whether you accept it or not is the task you leave to me as a father.

Lin Yixiong tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. This is what he summed up after a night of concentrating.In front of the person, the expression was incoherent, and now he was asked to send a WeChat message to say this, and he was embarrassed to speak again.I want to scold him, you bastard, for failing to learn well.Father and son, that's how obsessed.

The fierce battle between Peng Xiaoman and Li Yuan at night lasted until one o'clock in the middle of the night.Peng Xiaoman was made to look like a shriveled seedling in the ground, his head drooping softly in Li Yuan's arms, his hairline was soaked with sweat.Li Yuan drove him to take a shower, carried him to the bed, and threw the wilted cucumber that had half lost its soul into the thin quilt, tucking the corners, as if wrapping a rare treasure.Peng Xiaoman spoke in a suspenseful tone, "My dad will come to Qingyi tomorrow to see the old class."

Li Yuan turned off the ceiling light, covered Peng Xiaoman's eyes with her hand, and turned on the reading light by the bedside, "You told Uncle that Lao Ban is having an operation."

"Well, he said that the class is not too tight, so he can come to see it." Peng Xiaoman touched the scar on the palm of his right hand, it was still there, but it was much flatter.

"What do you want to do?" Li Yuan was very smart and asked him, "Show me like me."

Peng Xiaoman smiled: "Please do me a favor, Lao Ban, he has much more face than me."

"You're annoying enough." Li Yuan scorned, "How many years have you graduated? An old man in his [-]s is about to build a bridge, and he has to be the leader of your coming out. How shameless?"

"Shameless." Peng Xiaoman shook his head, "I want you to enter my family tree."

"Uncle is going to hit me?"

"Stop it, just beat me to death. I was born as Li Yuan and died as Li Yuan's ghost. To beat you, you have to step over my dead body first!" , Peng Xiaoman showed generosity on the battlefield in the Middle East carrying the iron gun on his face.

"My mouth is torn apart by you." She patted the corner of his mouth lightly.

When Peng Xiaoman stretched out his hand, Li Yuan hugged him contentedly, held his back and kissed him.In fact, when I think of the two-year separation, I feel uncomfortable, and I want to say, what the hell is a forced degree, I can't bear to have this in my arms.It was Peng Xiaoman who insisted on letting him continue and let him stand at the top of the pyramid.I want bread, I want love, since love is overflowing, no matter how I get it, there is always plenty of bread, so naturally the more bread, the better.

"Wait until you go back to the country." Peng Xiaoman was completely out of oxygen, fell back on the pillow with a bang, and closed his eyes: "We can almost buy a house, we will raise a—"

Li Yuan crawled into bed, turned off the lights, "Huh?"

child?

"dog."

Zhujiatang is quiet at night.
