embrace the memory of youth

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the season of sweet-scented osmanthus blooming. When I returned to City B from Beijing, I borrowed [-] from Xiong Hua and Chen Zike each, and set up a store. It's really not easy to find the right friend.

I opened a restaurant on the outskirts of city b with a model similar to Uncle Jiang’s Farm Hotel, but the scale is much smaller, and there are not many people here, so this move also angered Xiong Huada who always regards money as dung Call me a prodigal, fortunately, Chen Zike has a keen insight into my mind through the name of the store (Qingyu Farmhouse Special Flavor), and tried his best to help criticize Xiong Hua.

We have all changed in the past two years. To borrow a sentence from Chen Zike, we have transformed from a boy to a man, while Xiong Hua said that we have taken a step closer to the old. They are all right, because the years are indeed on our faces There are traces left, but the person I was waiting for has not yet appeared, but I have not given up. There are still two months before the time I agreed, and I still have fantasies to some extent.

I hired a chef and a waiter in the store. We got along very well in the past two years. I found them on the Internet. They are very kind-hearted. Because of our hard work, the store also has abnormal business. It was better than I expected before. From time to time, some people came to the nearby area to compete with me under the banner of a farm, and in the end they all went to the fate of closing down.

"Brother Liu, I want to tell you a bad news and a good news." It was the waiter Xiaobin who interrupted my thinking. The handsome guys who often come to the store chat enthusiastically.

I came back to my senses and said to him lightly, "It's nothing more than a store nearby is about to open again."

"Brother Liu, you are really awesome, you know what's going on before I tell you"

"Stop flattering me, which one is closed again?"

"I'm really going to fall through your glasses this time, and the old Xiang's shop has been transferred out," he said proudly.

"Then congratulations."

"What's so happy?" It was Ouyang, the chef in the shop who uttered the voice. He is undoubtedly a fat man. He is one year older than me, and his husband is one year older. He plays the role of a big brother, but his sexual orientation is clear. The same sex, once he confessed to me while drunk, I told my story from the beginning to the end, and then he never expressed ambiguity in front of me, because he understands that true love cannot be easily replaced, so he Get out of trouble.

Xiao Bin smiled and said to Ouyang, "Lao Xiang's house has finally closed, don't you think you should be happy?"

Ouyang responded with a simple and honest smile, "That's really something to be happy about."

I smiled and said nothing, I am very satisfied with this harmony.

I am used to sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at night to enjoy the shade. At this time, autumn is strong and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus is refreshing. Whenever this is the time, I miss Lin Qingping very much, because he gave me many good memories in the autumn when we met. , I remember him getting drunk, rushing to the side of the brook, pouring the brook water on his face to confess to me, remembering that we were in that bamboo forest, shouting alternately, flocks of birds flying, and the scene of falling leaves dancing, I still remember him in front of me In front of Zhou Yuan, he knelt down on one knee and showed his love to me, saying that I can only belong to him in the future...

The autumn wind blew over my skin, and it was a little cool, and I took out the action that I used to like to hug myself.

"I knew you were here, put on this coat quickly" was Ouyang's voice, every time he couldn't see me in the store, he would come here to look for me here, the coat he threw to me smelled of oily smoke, I ridiculed, "Is it because of the heavy oily smell that your chefs give to each piece of clothing to show your identity?"

He came in and sat down with me, and said dissatisfiedly, "The beggar still hates the rice of the chaff, huh..."

"Hey, my good brother is still angry, come and have a sip of tea to lower the fire." I handed him the tea I hadn't drunk yet, and he took it unceremoniously.

He drank it in one gulp, and said with enjoyment, "The tea made by my brother is still delicious."

I responded with a faint smile, "As long as you like to drink, I'll make it for you every day." He was surprised and said "really"

I deliberately said angrily, "When did you see me and talk to me?"

"The two of you are flirting again, can you find a hidden place next time?" was Xiao Bin's voice, and Ouyang immediately lashed out, "Then you know we are flirting, so go away if you don't know what's interesting."

"Fatty man, who do you think you are? If you tell me to go away, just go away." Xiao Bin angrily sat down between Ouyang and me. The owner of the restaurant, but the name is a bit similar to ours, it is called Xiongyu Tianxia, ​​it seems quite domineering."

"What?" I exclaimed, and Guo Xiong flashed through my mind in an instant. Two years ago, he expressed his intention to follow in my footsteps. I rejected it cruelly. If it is true that he switched to the old shop, it is not impossible. After all, it's not surprising that Xiong Hua's special feelings for him betrayed my whereabouts.

"What are you thinking, Brother Liu, are you listening to me?" Xiao Bin said loudly to me.

I came to my senses and said apologetically, "Say it again"

"Damn it, you sat so close to me and didn't listen to me, no wonder Fatty Ouyang said you look like an idiot"

Ouyang immediately retorted, "Boy, don't frame a good person. Why do you say that Xiaoyu is an idiot?"

They persisted in arguing, I ignored them, left them to find a quiet place and continued my longing.

A few days later, the Xiongyu Tianxia store opened with great ostentation. Many people came to congratulate. For the first time, Xiong Hua and Chen Zike came to my store wearing the same color. It is basically sure to be Guo Xiong. In the past, they would complain for a long time when they wore different clothes, but today they get along in harmony.

I teased them, "People who don't know think you two are a couple."

They glanced at each other, made a tacit vomit, and I threw out another sentence, "Should you tell who betrayed my whereabouts?"

The two of them looked at each other again, and then turned their eyes to me. Xiong Hua said, "Is the monkey speaking an alien language? Why can't I understand?"

Chen Zike responded, "If you don't understand it, then I can't understand it"

"Okay, you don't say yes, I will ask Guo Xiong by myself later" I deliberately prepared to leave angrily.

Xiong Hua immediately pulled me back and said, "A big man is one person who does things and one person is responsible. I said it, so you just say that you want to break up with me or something."

I said dumbfounded, "You guys promised me that you would not reveal my whereabouts, but now it's my fault."

Chen Zike said helplessly, "We also slipped up for a while, I'm sorry."

I took a deep breath and looked at the lively scene over there with mixed feelings.

Near noon, I went to Xiongyu Tianxia with Xiong Hua and Chen Zike to congratulate. Sure enough, that familiar face appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing that I was a little emotional, Guo Xiong grabbed my shoulders with both hands and said, "Xiaoyu , brother finally found you"

Because he was too strong, I reflexively said "Oh, you hurt me", he quickly let go of my hand and said guiltily, "I'm sorry Xiaoyu, brother is so happy to see you"

Chen Zike jokingly said, "Why did I see you so excited when I didn't see you a while ago?"

Xiong Hua said unhappily to Chen Zike, "You have Xiaoyu, are you handsome? Don't get involved in it."

Chen Zike glared at Xiong Hua angrily and said, "Although I'm not as handsome as Xiaoyu, I'm better than you, a pig-headed pig-headed fat man." Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, I hurriedly said, "Both brothers, don't say a few words." Okay, today is Brother Guo’s grand opening day.” When they saw what I said, they immediately suppressed the anger in their hearts, and said in unison with smiling faces, “We’re just kidding.”

After we chatted for a few words, we started to discuss the opening ceremony. The signature mask of Xiongyu Tianxia was unveiled, and Chen Zike exclaimed, "Wow, Fatty Guo, you are really scheming."

Guo Xiong smiled shyly and did not answer, but I knew what he meant and hid behind Guo Xiong with a smile. The opening ceremony lasted for an hour, and then I invited everyone to eat in my shop.

Guo Xiong came to look for me in the store at night, Ouyang obviously had a bad face, but Xiao Bin greeted Guo Xiong politely, I said to Guo Xiong, "It's been a busy day, it's time to rest at home, why did you come here?"

Guo Xiong scratched the back of his head helplessly and said, "I heard that the night scene around here is pretty good. I want to walk around, but walking alone is boring."

Xiao Bin immediately said, "Brother, you really know how to pick your time. At this time, Brother Liu also likes to go for a walk outside. You can go together."

Ouyang was displeased and said to Xiaobin, "You talk too much", Xiaobin immediately criticized "it's none of your business", I quickly got up and said to Guo Xiong, "Let's go, I heard that the moon will come out tonight, and the universe will be here soon." Erupted"

Walking out of the shop, the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus made me stop and take a few more breaths. The autumn wind blew over my skin, and the coolness began to spread throughout my body. I hugged myself with both hands, and this small gesture was watched by Guo Xiong. In his eyes, he naturally put a hand on my shoulder, and hugged me towards him with little force. I didn't get used to his tenderness, so I politely refused. He was not embarrassed, but just smiled honestly. laugh.

In order to ease the frozen atmosphere, I asked, "How have you been these two years?"

He smiled and replied, "To be able to stand side by side with you today, the past two years will be regarded as a good life."

I understood the meaning and said lightly, "That was really hard work", and he responded "For you, it's worth it"

In the early winter, the weather began to drop sharply, and there were still a few days before the waiting time I promised. I began to panic. Could it be that Lin Qingping really gave up just like this, so he couldn't eat well or sleep well.

"What is Xiaoyu thinking again?" It was Guo Xiong who interrupted my thinking, and I said bitterly to him, "It will be two years in a few days, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

He smiled helplessly, and then said, "Why don't we go to City A together and ask him for clarification?"

I immediately said, "No, he wronged me, why should I go to him?"

Guo Xiong sighed, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Chen Zike walked into the store and said to us with a smile on his face, "Who will show such blatant flirting?"

Guo Xiong smiled and said nothing, and I said angrily, "Don't know nonsense all day long"

Seeing my tone of voice, Chen Zike wisely didn't continue to argue with me, but took out invitations from his bag and put them in front of us, happily saying, "I'm going to hold an engagement ceremony with him in three days, you must come oh"

Guo Xiong and I stared at him at the same time, and exclaimed, "Engagement?"

Chen Zike said disdainfully, "Look at your eyes that have never seen the world, yes, I will get engaged to my husband in three days." The man he said to be engaged to is the man who has lived with him for four years, and I have met him several times On the other hand, for them to be together for four years, it is not easy in the circle, so I fully support and say "Okay, I will reserve the position of best man"

But Guo Xiong didn’t think so. He said, “This is too much attention. It’s tantamount to announcing to everyone that you are gay. How many people in today’s society can agree with it, and it will cause many changes to your life. In fact, why should you care if you are in love? those superficial forms"

Chen Zike's face was obviously not good when he heard Guo Xiong say this, and I immediately criticized Guo Xiong when I saw this, "Brother's words are not satisfactory. The two of you are happy together. If you live by looking at other people's eyes every step of the way, then What is the meaning of life”

Chen Zike immediately responded, "Yes, Xiaoyu is right, as long as we are happy, let those discriminatory eyes go to hell."

Seeing that I overwhelmingly supported Chen Zike, Guo Xiong didn't continue to refute, and said lightly, "Well, count me in on the day of the engagement, and let the discrimination go to hell."

Three days later, Chen Zike's men booked a hotel in the city center. It is conceivable that they really went all out, but they were not very popular at first.

The night before, I accompanied Chen Zike to the barber shop to have his hair trimmed again. Although the breath of happiness wrapped him tightly that night, the tension still radiated from his bones. He is desperate to go all out, looking at him in the mirror, no one can match the handsomeness of a happy man, I envy him from the bottom of my heart.

"Xiaoyu, don't look at me with that kind of ambiguous eyes, I'm a famous woman", his teasing voice woke me up from my reverie, and I responded with a smile, "I know, you Chen Zike is going to be a wife soon."

He hurriedly glanced at me in a panic, probably scolding me from his lips, I pretended not to see, and continued to say, "In the future, when you become a wife, don't be so showy, let us golden singles love each other with love." He Kan, handsome guy, do you think so?" The master who helped Chen Zike's haircut heard me say this, and cut off his hand in a panic. On the surface, I apologized and comforted me, but in my heart I secretly laughed.
