The gathering place was set at a private estate in the suburbs of Donglin.
It is said that this was the place where warlords took their concubines for vacation during that period.
Since its transmission to the present day, it has changed several owners.
It is still a place for the powerful to have fun.
The manor has a horse farm, a shooting range and a fishing lake, but the most famous thing is the connected natural hot springs.
Fortunately, it is late summer and early autumn now, so it is possible to take a hot spring bath.
The photo studio happened to be full on the weekend, and Zhou Xinyue couldn't handle it alone, so Meng Zhen had to go to help.
Meng Zhen said that if he could finish his work in the afternoon, he would go to see them.
Liu Yuzhou and Zhao Wei went first.
When we arrived at the manor, several childhood friends had already settled in.
Standing under the camphor tree at the door, smoking.
"Azhou! Weizi!"
Several people held cigarettes between their index and ring fingers and waved at the two people who were getting off the jeep.
Zhao Wei closed the car door.
"Wow, you guys are here really early. Yesterday I said I'd pick you up at the train station, but you actually took a plane. Tsk tsk, what a bourgeois way!"
In the 1980s, a plane ticket from the capital to Donglin cost 60 yuan.
Bring your partner, one hundred and twenty yuan for two people.
It’s just one month’s salary for employees in in-demand units.
Plus the cost of entertainment at the manor.
It's not a small amount.
Fortunately, everyone's family is well off, so this one-time expense is not a burden.
Liu Yuzhou and Zhao Wei approached, but their eyes were still on the jeep.
Seems to be expecting something,
After a while, no one got out of the car.
Ruan Dong asked, "Where's my sister-in-law? Why didn't she come?"
"She has something going on in the store."
Liu Yuzhou took the cigarette handed to him by his childhood friend naturally and spoke concisely.
With a cigarette between his thin lips, his narrow eyes moved slightly, signaling to the person opposite him: Can I borrow a light?
Zhou Zhengyang threw the lighter over: "Don't you say you don't smoke? What's wrong? Are you a bad person now?"
When we were young, a few of us would steal adults’ cigarettes to smoke, but Liu Yuzhou never joined in.
When he grew up, his childhood friends rarely saw him smoking.
Now everyone is curious, how come the most self-disciplined young master among them also got smoked?
Liu Yuzhou lit a cigarette and took a puff casually.
His eyebrows were slightly raised.
His tone was still the familiar coldness: "Occasionally."
As he spoke, a smoke ring slowly came out of his mouth.
The well-defined facial features blurred with the smoke, then gradually became clearer.
Ruan Dong and Zhou Zhengyang looked at the man's enviably handsome face.
I sighed in my heart: Why does this person look good in everything he does?
That kind of looks and temperament are truly a gift from God, and others can't envy it.
No wonder the girls in the compound were crazy about him at that time.
Another childhood friend, Feng Ran, glanced at the two of them and knew what was going on.
"Don't be too envious. Just keep an eye on them in your next life."
Ruan Dong and Zhou Zhengyang kicked him and said, "Fuck you!"
Zhao Wei was laughing beside him.
Even Liu Yuzhou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Just as childish as when I was a kid.
A few men were smoking at the door, and the women were already walking around the manor.
There is fruit picking in the backyard.
Bunches of large purple grapes, with just the right amount of sweet and sour.
Part of it is made into wine, and part of it is left for guests to pick.
If guests want to brew their own wine, there are people who can teach them.
Of course, the wine of this era is not like that produced abroad, which is brewed in oak barrels and sealed with corks.
It is a simple fruit wine, regardless of the year. New wine is brewed every year after the grape harvest.
The women had no interest in riding horses, shooting guns or fishing.
The only hot spring I'm interested in is at the wrong time.
So everyone went to pick grapes together.
It’s just the right time to pick the fruit and make wine, which you can bring back to the capital when you leave.
The men were of about the same age, and so were the women.
They are all from the same circle and their family backgrounds are not much different.
Ruan Zhengdong's wife, Han Chunmei, works in an office in a marginal department of a certain ministry.
The only busy time every month is changing the clippings in the bulletin board at the entrance of the unit.
I usually sit in the office, read newspapers, and collect news reports related to the department.
Feng Ran's wife Du Fang is similar, working as a union officer in a certain unit.
Collect personnel information, send and receive registration forms, etc.
Han Chunmei and Du Fang both have leisurely jobs and decent salaries.
It is an employment direction that women of this era envy very much.
You need to have very strong connections at home to be able to get in.
Zhou Zhengyang's girlfriend Zheng Lili is not as good as him.
My parents are just employees of an ordinary unit.
But her advantage is that she is good-looking and has a nice voice.
Passed the exam to become an announcer.
It just happens to be the type that Zhou Zhengyang likes very much.
However, after two years of dating, the Zhou family still hadn't agreed to marry her.
Zheng Lili has no shortage of people to introduce her to potential partners. There are people who are better than Zhou Zhengyang, but she has finally hooked up with the Zhou family and is so close to this upper-class circle that she doesn't want to let go easily.
When the three women got together, Han Chunmei was capable and the oldest among them, so she was very careful in what she said and did.
Du Fang is a little aloof, with a clear mind and can't tolerate any injustice.
The first time you meet someone, you'll feel a sense of distance.
Zheng Lili is smooth and worldly, and has a lot of complicated thoughts in her mind.
Because their respective men were childhood friends, they had met several times at gatherings.
On the surface, they get along quite harmoniously.
But we don't know what they think of each other behind the scenes.
Picking fruits was very fulfilling, and in a short while, all three of them returned home with a full load.
