White dove

Air tickets during the Spring Festival were hard to book. Tong Tong looked at the flight and found that the flight back to Yunnan was booked on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and it was still a night flight. He could only stay next to Kunming Airport for one night, and then transfer to Banna early the next morning.

He hasn't told Shen Chen yet, let's talk about it when we get to Kunming, he doesn't want Shen Shen to drive all the way to Kunming to pick him up, it's too troublesome.

It is said that the film crew rested for three days under Shen Chen's strong request, and then resumed work quickly. If there is no accident, it will be all over by the beginning of spring at the end of February. Tong Tong used to be able to catch up with the finale. He didn't want to miss this , this project was planned and followed up by him from the very beginning, until the last moment, he wanted to see it draw the end of this stage with his own eyes.

The agreed party was set for the fourth day of the lunar new year, and Tong Tong sent messages to Su Lei Lengchao and Bian Cheng one by one, and even created a group saying that he must invite him for this meal, but he is too unfamiliar with the current consumer market in Yijiang , Looking for a place to eat was a bit confused, he asked Biancheng privately: "Is Uncle He still in Yijiang? I don't know if it's inconvenient elsewhere. If possible, let's eat Uncle He's roast goose?"

"Wait, let me ask." Bian Cheng said, and came back after a while: "No problem, Uncle He said to wait for you to go over."

"Row."

Tong Tong thought, I don’t know if Uncle He still remembers what he once said, “If you break up, you can never come to Uncle He’s house to eat geese again.” Biancheng said firmly at that time: “If you eat Uncle He’s goose, you will definitely eat geese. HE."

But when they broke up, would Uncle He scold them?Tong Tong smiled slightly, a little helpless.

He specially told Leng Chao: "Bring my sister-in-law with me, let's get to know each other together."

In the end, Leng Chao replied: "No, it's not necessary. It's inappropriate to bring her to a party with a few old buddies. She feels uncomfortable when she is in a strange environment, so as not to make everyone feel at odds with each other."

Tong Tong thought for a while and decided to respect him: "All right, I'm from your family anyway."

After a while, Leng Chao hesitated and asked again: "It's just the four of us, isn't there a little less people?"

Tong Tong heard that there was something in this man's words: "If you have something to say, just say it, I don't bother to guess my mind for a straight man like you."

Leng Chao dawdled: "Well, how about calling Du Li? I remember that you two had a good relationship before."

Nonsense, Tong Tong thought, if it wasn't for you, wouldn't my name be Du Li?

But he was very curious: "Have you met her after you have been back for so long? Have you contacted her?"

"No." Leng Chao answered simply.

Tong Tong didn't force him to ask him what he was thinking, and just replied: "I'll ask her, but she may not come, you should be prepared."

"I know, I didn't have any hope." Leng Chao also confessed.

It took almost an hour for Du Li's message to come back. It was still the voice, and it was noisy. The voices of the seven aunts and eight aunts were all used as the background sound. Du Li's voice still sounded the same as when he was a student, clear and gentle , It’s just more refreshment than before, she was surprised and happy: "Little Tong! When did you come back? It’s been a long time! Have you eaten? Of course I want to come, I must come! You send me the address."

Tong Tong shared the address of Uncle He's home, but did not add Du Li to the group, but just typed back: "I miss you very much, when the time comes, Su Lei and Biancheng will be together, and Leng Chao will also be there."

Du Li fell silent, Tong Tong waited for a while but didn't reply, and was about to throw away the phone, when Du Li's message came again, this time it was not a voice, but simply replied a few words: "Okay, received , be there on time."

It wasn't until a year or two ago that Tong Tong added Du Li's WeChat account. He himself didn't post on Moments, and he rarely went to other people's Moments, but he knew that Du Li was living happily ever after. She is almost the first one in the same class to get married and have children. Now that the child is three years old, Tong Tong carefully checked Du Li's circle of friends. She doesn't post much. When I went to the teacher, I sometimes lamented that I was too busy with work, and sometimes I added a photo saying "the cherry blossoms in S University are blooming again, so beautiful", and there are also photos of children toddling on the Xiyuan football field.

I haven’t been back to school for a long time, but when I saw these photos, the thin strands of the past resurfaced, and a strong desire popped up in my mind for a moment, I wanted to go back to school and take a walk, from the Nanyuan dormitory to the library, to the West The stadium, the illuminated stadium, and then to the side entrance filled with fireworks.

I miss it so much.

Tong Tong turned off the phone, and it took a long time to suppress the longing thought.

He remembered the story that the angel had warned Abraham's wife not to look back as she was fleeing the ruined city, but she couldn't help but turned her head back and turned into a pillar of salt.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Su Lei and Bian Cheng came to pick up Tongtong, and then went to Uncle He.

Uncle He still remembered him, the first time he saw Tong Tong, he held his face tightly: "Little guy, he's still so thin, this guy can't take care of others!"

Seeing Uncle He staring at the border city reproachfully, Tong Tong was a little embarrassed. Uncle He didn't know if they had separated?

Bian Cheng came over and broke Uncle He's hand, but did not explain: "Yes, it is all my fault, why don't you bring him here to make up for it?"

"Come more! How can once in a few years be enough?!" Uncle He's eyes widened a little.

Only then did Biancheng explain: "Xiaotong has been working outside, so it's rare to come back."

"Oh—that's it." Uncle He dragged his tone, with an expression of understanding and doubt.

Biancheng pushed him into the kitchen together: "Let me see what's delicious today?"

"That's a lot, your uncle has created some unique cheats, and I'll show them off later..." When it comes to eating, Uncle He is beaming.

Tong Tong asked Su Lei: "I heard from Biancheng that you also have a girlfriend now, why don't you bring them here together?" He remembered that he specifically said in the group that everyone who has family members should bring their family members.

Su Lei smiled: "There are too many family members, I don't know which one to bring, so I just don't bring any of them."

Tong Tong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, why, Brother Lei, are you living among thousands of flowers now?"

Su Lei turned on the charcoal fire in the fireplace: "Thousands of flowers are not the same, but hundreds of flowers are almost the same."

Tong Tong scratched her head, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Brother Lei, pick the best of the best, the more you pick, the more you will be blind."

Su Lei laughed loudly, and the hand hooking the fireplace was trembling with laughter: "Don't say it, it's really the case, let me do it now, everyone is the same, there is only a difference between fresh and stale, but What should I do?"

Difficult, Tong Tong thought, this person is good-looking, from a good family background, handsome and rich, and now he is still willful, so he can only run wildly on the road of getting more and more beautiful, and he cannot be rescued.

Bian Cheng came over at some point, and sat next to Tong Tong on the sofa in front of the fireplace: "Little Tong, please ignore him, this man is hopeless."

But Su Lei looked at him: "You say that I am like you, and you are like me, which one of us is more hopeless?"

Both Tong Tong and Bian Cheng were taken aback, and immediately realized what Su Lei was talking about, with a little embarrassment on his face, Bian Cheng said: "Then you are more hopeless, at least I know where my antidote is, you don't even have it for yourself." I don't know about the disease."

Hahahaha, Su Lei burst out laughing again, nodding repeatedly: "You're still ruthless, if you can't be saved, you can't be saved, no matter how you live, it's a lifetime, one life anyway." Su Lei was calm and calm.

That's right, Tong Tong thought, as long as people live in harmony, it's fine.

Leng Chao and Du Li arrived at the same time. When Du Li entered the door, he hugged Tong Tong and said with emotion: "Little Tong, you are really too thin. Why are you thinner than before? Now you look like a supermodel. A whole hanger."

Why?It was the first time for Tong Tong to hear someone describe the feature of "thinness" so comfortably, and couldn't help laughing.

Du Li continued and said: "When I got here, I saw a car that was keeping up with my front and rear feet. I was fast and he was fast, and I was slow and he was slow. I wonder who is driving so nervously? Target me, but the car drove me all the way to the small courtyard, and when I got out of the car, I realized it was this guy."

She pointed at Leng Chao, smiled and said quickly, without any twitch.

Leng Chao, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable from every pore of his body from head to toe. He smiled: "I only saw a beautiful woman on the road, and I wanted to get closer to see who it was, but when I saw it, it wasn't Lao Du. Is it a classmate?"

Hearing this superfluous explanation, Tong Tong was so embarrassed that he was about to commit cancer, he could only point to the melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruits on the table specially prepared for them by Uncle He and said: "Come and eat, let's eat together." Let's try He's Roast Goose, which is legendary in Jianghu."

Uncle He was frying and cooking in the kitchen. In the living room, several people were eating melon seeds and chatting around the fireplace. When there were too many people, they could chat about any topic. , you guys talk first, I'll go around the house."

Leng Chao also stood up and said, "I'm coming back too, why don't we go together?"

Tong Tong didn't make a sound, watching the two of them walking towards the backyard together.

Leng Chao followed step by step, Du Li couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth first: "How long have you been back?"

"It's almost a year, not yet." Leng Chao said.

Du Li chuckled lightly: "You've got a lot of skills, and you haven't heard anything about it after you've been back for so long."

The courtyard in the backyard is a garden that Uncle He took care of himself. The two of them walked slowly along the corridor on the edge. Well, keep a low profile."

"Who forced you to look like a human being? It's not your own imagination." Du Li said lightly.

Leng Chao originally wanted to say, "You didn't always force me to become a master before, so that I became PTSD", but he swallowed the words again, and only grinned: "I have to be a little demanding of myself."

Du Li stopped, and looked at Leng Chao with unexpected eyes: "Yo, I never expected to hear this from you one day, it's a big change."

Leng Chao laughed a few times and patted his head.

"Are you... How are you? These years." Finally, Leng Chao asked what he wanted to ask, and turned to look at Du Li.

Du Li paused for a moment, but didn't answer. He turned on his phone and showed Leng Chao a photo album: "Look, my daughter is three years old."

The little girl in the photo is chubby, her eyes are very big, black and bright, and she is smiling most of the time, Leng Chao looks at each one: "Like you, very cute, and looks like you have a better temper than you. "

"Hey!" Du Li punched him: "Why is my temper so bad?"

"Look at you, you used to only move your mouth, but now you've learned to use your hands and feet." Once he relaxed, Leng Chao saw Du Li's habitual detrimental behavior reappeared.

Du Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and put the phone back: "I won't show it to you, just talking nonsense."

Leng Chao replied formally: "Very good."

Then he took out a small red round box from his pocket and handed it over: "New Year's gift."

Du Li was slightly startled, and took a step back unconsciously: "Don't, it's not appropriate."

Leng Chao stuffed it directly: "What are you thinking, it's for your daughter."

Du Li breathed a sigh of relief, and took the box: "Then thank Uncle Leng for the little glutinous rice balls."

"It's called Xiaotangyuan." Leng Chao couldn't help laughing.

"Well, his father's surname is Tang, and the child's nickname is Tangyuan." Du Li said with a smile on his face.

Leng Chao's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

During the meal, Uncle He joined everyone. The signature roast goose and charcoal roasted pork knuckles were cooked all afternoon in advance. The various vegetables just picked from the field and the rice wine brewed by himself were placed on the table. tasty.

It was the first time everyone got together since graduation, and they all felt a little emotional, Su Lei didn't know if he had drunk too much, and said with blurred eyes: "It would be great if Shanshan was here, and it would be the same as before. "

The atmosphere subtly froze, and the person who said this was still ignorant, and said to himself: "I knew from the beginning that it was impossible to be with her, but you, you can all be together, why do you want to be together? Are they all separated? Ah? Why? You tell me, why do you want to separate?"

Tong Tong clenched his fingers under the dining table. He didn't dare to look at Biancheng, but wanted to know how Biancheng reacted at the moment.

No one speaks.

Together with Bian Cheng, Uncle He escorted the drunk Su Lei away and dragged him to the sofa in the living room. Uncle He turned and went to the kitchen: "Wait a minute, I have an exclusive secret recipe for hangover, just drink a cup after cooking, each of you has a cup. "

Tong Tong and Leng Chao and Du Li were still in a daze in the restaurant. He heard Du Li say: "There is no reason, the right time, the right location, and the harmony of people. If there is something less, you can't be together. You can't force it, you can only follow the fate."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Leng Chao, and Leng Chao also looked at her, and said for a while, "We were together at that time, and we didn't force it, but I was acting and blind, and I couldn't see you clearly, and I couldn't see myself clearly."

Du Li was startled, then smiled: "But it's fine now."

After a while, Leng Chao whispered, "I understand."

Biancheng called a substitute driver, Su Lei sat in the co-driver, he and Tong Tong were in the back seat, the driver took Su Lei home first, followed by Tong Tong.

After drinking, he was heated by the heater in the car again, Tong Tong's face was puffy and rosy, Bian Cheng looked at him, felt that his eyes were glued to his face, and forced himself to turn his head away .

"Flight tomorrow night?" He asked Tong Tong.

"Yes, 7 o'clock in the evening." Tong Tong checked the flight information to confirm.

"How do you arrange the day?"

"Should be at home, with my mother."

"Ah."

After a while, the border town said: "On the last day, can I take you somewhere?"

Tong Tong was taken aback, wanted to ask something but didn't say anything, finally just nodded: "Okay."
