look at each other.

I asked, "Where's Uncle Liu? He's gone?"

Liu Guoqing said: "Seeing that I'm back, how can he not be at ease?"

I slapped my forehead and told him to bring the invitation.Everyone's lady's post is more beautiful and delicate than the one Liu Guoqing received, suddenly remembered and asked, "Did the concierge say who invited you for that post?"

Liu Guoqing said: "He didn't say it, but there are Boss Meng's handwriting on it."

I shook the invitation card in my hand, put my own aside, opened Zou Shengzu's, read it over and over again, and checked it like a mine, for fear that any word would be taboo.After checking, he stuffed the post back into the envelope and looked up to see Liu Guoqing thoughtful.Seeing that I had regained my composure, he said, "Why did Boss Zou's post get sent to you?"

I am not very happy to mention Zou Shengzu in front of Liu Guoqing, he always takes some embarrassing jealousy; at the last thought, Boss Meng has entered the house openly, how can Boss Zou have any reason to retreat?Then he replied flatly: "He was not well a while ago, and the house was taken. I felt sorry for him, so I let him live in Xiaoheyan. Others couldn't find him, so they all bought from me."

"Then I'll send the invitation to him tomorrow." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the monkey snatched it away like a peach.Following his advice, I was very annoyed, and said, "What's the matter with you? Aunt Ma will come to see me tomorrow, just hand it over to her. What the hell are you doing?"

"Aunt Ma is quite old, walking such a long way every day, you feel sorry for her. Now that I'm back, I don't want to work on her."

"What the hell are you doing?"

I turned over and covered myself with the quilt, and threw the three invitations into a pile, piled on the bedside table.Liu Guoqing crawled over and pushed my shoulder, and said, "It's agreed, Boss Zou will let him go alone, you are not allowed to accompany him."

"Are you sick?" I couldn't bear it any longer, and kicked him hard under the quilt, "Then it's my brother! My dear brother! Can I ignore it? Don't think about those useless things for me every day, don't be ashamed Panic!"

His expression darkened, and his mother acted foolishly: "If you go, then I will go too. I don't want to kiss my brother, anyway, I don't feel at ease."

I laughed back angrily: "Liu Guoqing, why, went to Beiping, got into bed with my wife, and came back like a woman? I have eaten too many Japanese rice cakes and worshiped plaster flags these years, so what the hell will I do?" The dog skin plaster sticky caught it! It’s not that you did something behind your back to be sorry for me!”

"Nonsense, who do I have a marriage certificate with, you don't know? Where is my daughter-in-law?"

I squeezed his chin, squinted my eyes contentedly, and said with a smile: "Yes, just remember that you have a husband. Husband's affairs, husband's affairs, you don't need to worry about it."

Negotiations failed all night, so Liu Guoqing and I had to take a step back and pretend that the sea and the sky were bright.The next day, we both got up early and went to Xiaoheyan to deliver posts together.Zou Shengzu was very polite to Liu Guoqing, and Liu Guoqing was not an impolite person, so the conversation reached a consensus in the process of harmony—see you at Daguan Tea Garden later in the evening.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, as a Chinese, I couldn't help but get carried away. Unless it was necessary to go to a banquet, I didn't pay much attention to going out.However, before going to the Daguan Tea Garden, Liu Guoqing insisted that I bring the gun and carefully checked the ammunition.I thought he was doing too much, but he disagreed, saying: "Let's take it easy, the Japanese army hasn't completely evacuated yet, the Soviet Union has stepped in again, and the devils will not leave after the fight, and dump machinery in the heavy factory in the west every day. No one cares, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. When you go out in the future, you must carry a gun."

This gun is a pistol he gave me. He has an identical one. The more you look at it, the more you look like a pair.As soon as his vision was clear, he felt refreshed, so he followed his daughter-in-law's temperament, fully armed, and stepped into the threshold of the Daguan Tea Garden.

To say that things are different from people, the Daguan Tea Garden is still the same Daguan Tea Garden, but the people are not the same as before.There were no arrogant and domineering Japanese military officers, and there were Soviet military officers who did not regard themselves as outsiders; there were no high-spirited puppet troops, and there were more fanciers with a few spare cash in their hands.I looked up at the box I used to sit in, and there were a few people in it at the moment, with Chinese faces, all wearing American military uniforms.

Liu Guoqing said: "Your national government has only taken over Northeast China for a few days, so you have time to watch the show."

The government took over and managed the Northeast, and we only saw it from the newspapers.Liu Guoqing didn't say much, she ate, drank and slept as usual, except for this appointment, she could be said to be a lady of every family.I wanted to ask him several times, but when the words came to my lips, I finally swallowed them back in my stomach—it was finally consensual, why bother to find it hard?

Boss Meng's place, although without the support of the Japanese, the Chinese still recognize it.Because Liu Guoqing was a distinguished guest personally invited by Boss Meng, and Zou Shengzu hadn't come yet, so I accompanied him to the backstage to catch up with Boss Meng.

Boss Meng's character is still the same, with clear eyebrows, but he is very thin, his eyes are no longer as lonely as the snow on the top of the mountain, but gentle and tired.His play today is Farewell My Concubine, and the costume is like a magnificent sack on a bamboo pole, empty.If Boss Meng wasn't moving, I almost thought he was a scarecrow.

When we arrived, he was putting on makeup backstage and had just drawn half a face, half male, half female, like a goblin who had failed to transform.When he saw us, he put down his eye-drawing pen, got up and saluted, and said, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Yi."

Liu Guoqing is a fan of his theater, so he couldn't help being excited at this moment, and quickly returned the courtesy: "Boss Meng, long time no see, Liu misses you very much!"

I saw every stitch and said with a smile, "Oh, me too."

Boss Meng said: "I'm sorry to bother you, what can I do... I specially sent a post to Mr. Liu, not intentionally disturbing, but I'm really thinking about your old relationship, I hope you will appreciate it, and I will do it for the last performance." It's complete."

Both Liu Guoqing and I were shocked.Liu Guoqing said: "What? The last scene?"

Boss Meng lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, smiled with the half of a woman's face, and the corners of his eyes that flew up to the sky were as charming as silk, and said in a low voice: "There are still people thinking about the low-level things. It is Meng's honor to be in this position, and please be honored by Meng."

"It can't be done!"

I dodged sideways, and Liu Guoqing pounced on him to help him up.I faintly felt something was wrong, Boss Meng's words had an ominous meaning of farewell, so he tentatively asked: "By the way, where is Mr. Luo? Is he coming tonight?"

Boss Meng's pale mouth curled up on half of his male face, and he replied softly, "I didn't invite him."

"You haven't seen him for a long time, have you?"

Liu Guoqing grabbed my sleeve from behind.I ignored him and just stared at Boss Meng, not letting him move the slightest bit.Boss Meng's eyes flickered, but he avoided it and didn't answer.

With a score in my mind, I took advantage of the victory to pursue and shot again: "I heard that after the shallow well was left and broken by Henggou, it should be the last batch of boats to leave in a few days. You have a special session today, I don't know if he will come or not."

Boss Meng's whole body was swaying, his face was a little distorted, and cracks were squeezed out of the dried paint, as if a beautiful woman who had been cursed by a curse was dying in an instant.He bit his lip, took a deep breath, and said in a polite and detached voice: "The show is about to start, please wait outside, both of you."

The owner issued an order to evict guests, and we were ashamed to stay any longer.After leaving the door, Liu Guoqing said: "Why are you talking like an awl, always irritating him."

I glanced at him, turned my hands away, sneered, and said, "If I hadn't provoked him, he would have talked so much? If you have time to babble with me, why don't you just put your eyeballs on him and stop talking to him?" I can't think about it, but we acted after the fact and didn't save him!"

After finishing speaking, he left him alone and stared blankly, and walked to the gate of the tea house to wait for Zou Shengzu, and smoked a cigarette by the way.As soon as the flame flickered and the cigarette was lit, Zou Shengzu got out of the rickshaw in an old robe.As if a reward was given, the coachman ran away with his mouth cracked like a lotus flower, and even the tired car was fascinated.

I went up to him and said with a smile: "Since you are poor, you look a little poor. Why do you want to show off your wealth by taking a car and paying a reward? I'm afraid that people won't care about your family background?"

Zou Shengzu turned around, and just about to say something, he frowned suddenly, snuffed out the cigarette I hadn't smoked a few puffs between my fingers, threw it under my feet and kicked it out again, and said: "It's time to be patient, the doctor won't let you smoke and drink, you Why can't I remember!"

"If you quit smoking and drinking, I will become a fucking monk."

Zou Shengzu looked behind me and said, "At least I haven't rebooted."

You don't need to look back to know that Liu Guoqing is determined to follow.Zou Shengzu waited for him to come forward and stand next to me, and said again: "Before the show starts, let's go say hello to Miss Bai first." Seeing my reluctance written all over his face, he persuaded, "Don't let others say hello. We have no manners."

Liu Guoqing also chimed in: "Go, go early and come back early." He raised his hand and pointed to the scattered seats in the first row, on which there were several plates of dried fruit snacks, a pot of tea and four teacups, "I'll just sit there and wait for you , hurry up, the place will get dark after a while, and you won’t be able to see the way clearly.”

Okay, I fumbled for the cigarette case in my pocket, and went to the box on the second floor with Zou Shengzu.When going upstairs, Zou Shengzu stood on the front block, turned around and stretched out his hand condescendingly: "Give me the cigarette."

I still want to bargain with him, but there are already people looking at us from the railing upstairs.I didn't want to make a joke out of my family's ugliness, so I handed in Yu Fu's half pack of cigarettes, and when Zou Shengzu went upstairs, Fang cursed in a low voice, "Damn it."

The location of Ms. Bai's box is not the best, but it's not bad either. It's on the right of the middle, and you can clearly see the door to the field.The food provided by the tea garden has shrunk. It used to be four dishes and eight bowls and a pot of tea. Although it is still four dishes and eight bowls now, the quantity and weight of the tea has been reduced.

Dim sum is not a woman, and being slim is not good-looking, but Miss Bai is not willing to make extra money, and lives a frugal life.I was behind Zou Shengzu, Miss Bai didn't see me for the first time, she only had Boss Zou's great spirit in her eyes, she said pleasantly, "Mr. Zou!"

Boss Zou was elegant and graceful, and instead of sitting down, he nodded and said, "Miss Bai."

I intentionally made things difficult for Miss Bai, so I came out from behind, and also yelled with a smile: "Miss Bai, last time I said goodbye to the Zou mansion, Yimou offended me so much, I still look at Haihan. Miss Bai is open-minded, not inferior to a man, Yimou is really flattered that she is willing to invite Yimou to come to Liyuan for a gathering."

Miss Bai's complexion was not good. When she heard the words, she just pretended she didn't understand the guns and sticks in it, and picked the most obvious meaning, and replied: "Mr. Yi, you are being polite."

Zou Shengzu glanced at the leftover tea in the cup on the table, and asked, "Miss Bai, do you have any distinguished guests?"

Miss Bai has black hair at the temples, bright white wrists, a jade bracelet hanging from her top, and her fingers are like sliced ​​onion roots, revealing the ear pearls, her red lips are lightly opened and closed, and the gourd and rhinoceros teeth are flickering: "Also There are Mr. Wang Meiren, the commander of the Second Division of the Fifth Army, and Major General Igor of the Soviet Union." Their eyes turned to me, and then quickly fell back on Zou Shengzu's face. "Mr. Yi has seen them all. Let's sit down for a while, they will immediately Just go back."

I said to Zou Shengzu: "The third box from the front is full of KMTs. I guess Mr. Wang has gone to catch up on the old days." Then I said to Miss Bai, "The show will begin soon, and my friend is still waiting below. I'll go and have a look, you guys Talk slowly."

Zou Shengzu stuck in his throat with an "eh", the incident happened suddenly, he was unprepared and watched me slip away.I avenged my revenge for stealing cigarettes, and I was so happy that I went downstairs and called the waiter to buy a box of American cigarettes.When he came back, I went outside to smoke one, and when it was dark inside, I reluctantly threw the cigarette butt away and went back to find Liu Guoqing.

Liu Guoqing was nibbling melon seeds, with melon husks in his hand. Seeing me coming back, he looked around and said, "Boss Zou didn't come down with you?"

I smiled and said, "How could it be so fast, gentle and stalking girls from the country."

Liu Guoqing poured me a cup of tea, moved closer, moved his nose, made a serious face, but the tea was not poured, his eyebrows were raised in a condemning arc, and he said, "Are you smoking again?"

I denied it flatly: "No, look so closely, where did I get the cigarettes?"

"You still lied to me, you—"

Before the words were finished, the stage lights were brightly lit, and the drums and pianos were played in unison.I made a "shh" gesture to him, bowed my eyebrows flatteringly, and said, "Okay, I get it, I really didn't lie to you, just listen to the show."

Liu Guoqing was so angry that he looked like a field mouse, puffed his cheeks, snorted angrily, stopped looking at me, and turned to watch the play.At the beginning, Kun Ling, who has gained fame in the past two years, was not Boss Meng after all, so Liu Guoqing didn't concentrate on watching. After eating the melon seeds, she raised her hand and asked the waiter to serve a fruit plate, and gnawed away the watermelon rind. .

I've never seen him with such a rude and sloppy appearance, a good Gu Qu Zhou Lang, how come he has been with me for a few years, and turned into a broken horse Zhang Fei?

My mind was absent-minded, and I let my imagination run wild--I don't like watching theater at all.The faces of the people on the stage were covered in oil paint, they were not painted like human beings, and they spoke in high-pitched voices and babbling intonations. No matter how bright the lights were, they were not as good-looking as the one sitting next to me in the shadows.

Like a perverted mouse in the gutter, I am distracted and drooling at Liu Guoqing.He is an inexhaustible delicacy, falling into the hands of my gluttonous Pixiu, it can be called an old cat resting on salted fish, smelling the smell, tasting the freshness... the taste is beyond words.

I'm a prostitute who sees prostitution, and a play on the stage has been sung.The clown came out again to heat up the scene, and the melons, pears and peaches added more. At this time, the chair moved around, and Zou Shengzu's voice was particularly clear amidst the noise: "What are you thinking, I'm so greedy."

I hurriedly wiped my mouth clean before Liu Guoqing turned her head, and said maliciously, "Where's Miss Bai?"

Zou Shengzu said: "She has no shortage of friends, a teacher, a major general, the three of them have a good chat, what am I?"

Liu Guoqing poured him a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Zou, don't underestimate yourself."

Zou Shengzu said to me: "By the way, I want to talk about that Mr. Wang, he said that he has a very good personal relationship with you, so I need to talk about it in another day. He asked me to give you his phone number so that you can call him back when you have time. "

As he spoke, he handed over a note with four numbers written on it.I put the note close to my body without explaining. Liu Guoqing raised his eyebrows and stared at my pocket for a long time. Finally, with a sip of tea, he turned his attention back to the stage.

The place went dark again.

Jinghu's sound was like a crack, and Shi Potian startled Qiuyu.Some late guests came in damp, shouted for the waiter to bring towels, and said that the weather was bad.Liu Guoqing stared intently at the stage, not paying attention to this episode.The autumn rain came and went quickly, and the rumbling thunder fell on deaf ears in the garden.Boss Meng has a mature figure and skillful skills, which won bursts of applause.

I yawned, scratched my hair, and a play was singing "Look at the king sleeping in his tent with his clothes on", when suddenly a group of young people broke into the door.The sound of drums and zithers stopped abruptly, and everything was silent for a while, and there was no sound.They were holding shovels, mallets, axes and other things in their hands, and their immature faces like students were full of viciousness that did not match their age.They were all dressed in uniform, the Japanese-issued navy-style school uniforms, but they didn’t look the same, because they shouted from the bottom of their hearts: “That one on the stage is a big traitor who sings for the Japanese! Catch him and send him to jail!”

"Go to prison—go to prison—"
