When they arrived at Li Yunfeng's house, the two elders warmly entertained Pei Donglai.
During the meal, Mr. Li joked: "At the beginning of the year, Yunfeng promised his mother and I that he would bring his girlfriend back this year, but I didn't expect to bring you back."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Pei Donglai then said: "Uncle Li, Auntie, Yunfeng and I really love each other. You two can't break us up."
Another burst of laughter.
Li's mother criticized Yunfeng, "You are just one-dimensional. You can do everything well, but you are not good at finding a girlfriend. You have to go east to study hard."
"Do you want to learn how to divorce him?" Li Yunfeng answered the question too quickly, not caring about Pei Donglai's feelings.
The scene was awkward for a while, and then Pei Dong came and said, "The old one won't go, and the new one won't come. From now on, I will take Yunfeng to find a girlfriend."
Pei Donglai's words not only resolved the embarrassment, but also adjusted the atmosphere, and everyone returned to the happy Spring Festival atmosphere.
After finishing a bowl of rice, Mr. Li took out the Feitian Moutai that he had treasured for many years and said: "It's New Year's Eve, you two will drink with me to cheer up the atmosphere."
"Yes, yes, you two will have a drink with the old man," Mother Li said and went to do other things.
Li Yunfeng said: "Dad, you are biased. You didn't show it last year. But after Donglai came this year, you showed it. I am still not your biological child?"
The old man said: "You go and do the paternity test. Dong Lai and I will have a drink and wait for you."
After the three drank three bottles in a row, they lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
On the first day of the new year, it was already 9 o'clock when Pei Donglai woke up. The old man and Li Yunfeng were already up and helping with the dishes.
Pei Donglai looked at the phone and found that there were more than 10 missed calls from his mother.
Pei Donglai first sent a 6666 red envelope to each of his parents, and then carefully dialed his mother's phone number. As soon as the call was answered, Pei's mother started yelling curses on the other end of the phone, which almost deafened Pei Donglai's ears.
"Where did you die? You didn't accompany Xiaojie during the Chinese New Year. You wandered around to see if I didn't break your legs."
"Mom, I got drunk at my friend's house. I'm going home right away." After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.
It turned out that Lin Xiaojie couldn't find Pei Donglai, so she called Pei's mother to ask. When Pei's mother heard this, she became very angry and made more than 10 consecutive calls to question her.
Later, Pei Donglai sent a message to Lin Xiaojie, "I'm at Yunfeng's house, help me cover it."
Lin Xiaojie replied instantly: "I know, Happy New Year."
On the third day of the lunar new year, Pei Donglai was really embarrassed to stay at Yunfeng's house, so he gave old man Li and his mother Li a red envelope and blessed them and left.
Li Yunfeng also wanted to follow Pei Dong, but was rejected.
Pei Donglai said: "You should spend more time with your parents. I don't need your company. I don't like men."
Back at Li Fengyun's residence, Bai Xiaoran called, "Brother, where are you?"
Pei Donglai sent the address. More than 10 minutes later, the phone rang, "Brother, come downstairs and help me move my things."
When Bai Xiaoran opened the trunk, Pei Donglai was shocked. The full box was full of food.
The two of them moved all the way to the west. After the move, the two of them lay down on the sofa tiredly.
"Why did you bring so many things?"
"I'm afraid you'll lose weight due to hunger."
"Why don't you spend more time with your parents at home? Why are you back so early?"
"They always arrange blind dates for me at home, it's so annoying."
"You have reached the age of marriage. When it's time to go on a blind date, you can go on a blind date. You can't escape."
"I have someone I like." After saying this, Bai Xiaoran's face turned red.
"Who is it? Do I know him?"
Bai Xiaoran changed the subject and said, "Senior brother, are you hungry? I'll heat up the food."
"I'm not hungry. I just ate at Yunfeng's house. If you're hungry, just eat and don't worry about me." After saying this, Pei Donglai lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
After waking up, it was already afternoon. When I heard the conversation in the kitchen, I realized that Yunfeng had come over and was making dinner with Bai Xiaoran.
Pei Donglai got up immediately and went to help serve the dishes. After the dishes were placed, and when he was about to use his chopsticks, Li Yunfeng said, "Wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he took out two bottles of Feitian Moutai from an inconspicuous pocket.
"Aren't you afraid of having your legs broken by the old man?" Pei Donglai teased.
"So, drink it before the old man notices it."
After the wine was filled, the three people picked up the wine glasses, and with the sound of Happy New Year, everyone drank it down.
This Spring Festival for Pei Donglai has both losses and gains. What he lost was love and career, but he gained the meticulous care and help from his friends.
After finishing a bottle, Bai Xiaoran asked: "Senior brother, what are your plans after the Spring Festival?"
During this period of time, Pei Donglai has actually thought about it. He can't continue to waste his music like this. He is only 27 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his life. Although he has encountered many setbacks, how can a person grow up without setbacks?
Pei Donglai drank a glass of wine and said seriously: "Yunfeng, Xiaoran, thank you for taking me in. You will always be my friends in this life. I plan to go to Tibet after the Spring Festival to see the outside world." .
"Will you come to Jiangcheng again?" Bai Xiaoran asked anxiously.
"I don't know, maybe I won't come back. After all, this is a sad place."
Hearing what Pei Donglai said, Bai Xiaoran became anxious and said, "I'll go with you."
"Xiao Ran, you work hard, why are you coming with me? I'm going to wander. If it's to enjoy happiness, I will definitely take you and Yunfeng with me," Pei Donglai said calmly.
"Why are you like this? You just said we were good friends, why have you changed now?" Bai Xiaoran walked away angrily.
"Dong Lai, my junior sister likes you," Li Yunfeng said with a smirk on his face.
"Let's go, I think you two are quite suitable, both are in Jiangcheng."
The two chatted while drinking, and finally finished both bottles of Feitian.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Li Yunfeng and Bai Xiaoran both went to work, leaving Pei Donglai alone in an empty room.
Pei Donglai wanted to set out for Tibet, but the mountains there were now blocked by heavy snow, so the plan had to be shelved.
On the night of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Donglai booked a private room in a restaurant and made an appointment with Li Yunfeng and Bai Xiaoran in advance.
After the three of them sat down, they were all silent. Bai Xiaoran even shed tears. Although Pei Donglai didn't say anything, everyone knew very well that what they were eating today was dog meat. The implication was obvious that Pei Donglai was leaving Jiangcheng.
After eating, the three of them came to "Small Town Story" again. Pei Donglai stood at the door and stared at the shining word "西" in a daze. There were too many memories here. After Li Yunfeng shouted a few times, Pei Donglai took a step forward. Go in.
The three of them were very drunk, especially Bai Xiaoran. He lay on the sofa and chanted: "Brother, don't go, don't leave me."
Li Yunfeng said: "Dong Lai, my dad told me that day that XX Bank is recruiting people now. You can be the first to take up the position. With your ability, you will definitely be able to become a senior executive in less than two years."
Pei Donglai shook his head, "Yunfeng, thank you. I'm not worried about not being able to find a job, it's just..."
Li Yunfeng understood instantly and didn't say anything. He raised his glass and the two of them drank together until the bar closed before leaving.
