Shen Xingci and Song Yan praised the cook and the dishes while eating, but they did not eat less and their mouths never rested, and they soon finished the entire table without leaving any soup.
"It's delicious!"
Shen Xingci lay on the chair with a big belly and closed her eyes contentedly.
"I have to play for one more day. I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I won't go back today. Tomorrow morning, you guys take me to the beach to catch some seafood. I haven't experienced it yet. Let me forget all the troubles and the pressure from my family to get married."
Gu Xingzhou looked at him in surprise: "What, urging you to get married? Who urged you to get married?"
"How old are you? Why are your family members urging you to get married?" Yang Mumu looked at him curiously.
After saying this, Yang Mumu remembered that this was in the 1970s. It was normal for people in his age to be urged to get married, as he was at the right age to get married. Some families who were anxious had already given birth to babies.
"Hey, who else could it be? It's my mom. She wrote to me specifically to urge me to get married. I thought she was concerned about me, but I was overthinking it. She said that the Sun family next door already had a big fat grandson and showed off in front of her every day, asking me to have one as well. How can I have one? I don't even have a partner. She asked me to have a child, but I can't have one by myself."
Shen Xingci sighed tiredly.
"Then she called me and told me that I had a childhood sweetheart and asked when we would meet. In the letter she sent me was a photo of the person she had married. The key point was that it was a photo of her when she was seven or eight years old. She also asked me how I felt about it. How could I feel about a photo of a child? People who didn't know would think I had some special fetish. It was so unreliable!"
Gu Xingzhou sympathized with him for a second, "It's a little unreliable, but Auntie also has good intentions."
Sometimes parents all over the world do some unreliable things for the sake of their children's lifelong affairs.
Yang Mumu asked, "How are you going to meet here?"
"She said that the child betrothal is also here, but she hasn't asked where exactly. She told me to wait for news. She will tell me when she finds out. She told me to go meet her no matter what. I don't want to care about my mother for the time being. I'm staying here to hide away and avoid my mother's calls. Let's talk about this later. I'll have fun first and then go back to talk about the child betrothal meeting."
When Shen Xingci talked about the issue of being urged to get married, he felt so miserable that he took a sip of water and continued.
"Maybe my mom is just too enthusiastic. Other girls might not be willing to meet a neighbor brother like me whom she hasn't seen for a long time. We only played together when we were young, but I have to meet him anyway. I can't escape the enthusiasm of the adults. Since we are in the same place, I have to take care of the girl a little. After all, she called me brother when we were young."
At this time, He Yuan came running over happily with two boxes of cakes. She heard the voice before she saw the person.
"Mumu, I'll bring you some butterfly cakes. My parents sent them to me today. They're delicious."
The bright smile on her face immediately attracted Shen Xingci, who was sitting next to her. He couldn't move his eyes away from her.
Yang Mumu stood up and waved at her, then took out a pair of clean chopsticks from the chopstick bag next to her and handed them to her.
"Have you eaten yet? Come and have some food. We have prepared some delicious food. I didn't see you and Zhizhi at the Youth Courtyard when we were eating, so I left a bowl of meat for you. You can take it back with you."
As she spoke, Gu Xingzhou beside her had already stood up and went to the kitchen to get the lunch box and clean bowls.
"I ate. Zhizhi and I went for a walk in the county town and ate at a state-owned restaurant there. We didn't have to work hard."
He Yuan handed one box of the two boxes of butterfly cakes to Yang Mumu and the other to Liu Qingwan.
"It's okay. You can take it back and eat it tomorrow. It's delicious. It's Xingzhou's craftsmanship. You know how it tastes." Yang Mumu winked at her while holding the butterfly pastry.
"Okay, then I have to eat." He Yuan smelled the fragrance of the food on the table and felt a little greedy.
Yang Mumu understood and immediately handed the chopsticks over again.
He Yuan looked at Yang Mumu and smiled slightly, then took down her chopsticks and said, "How about I eat something now?"
"Eat, Yuanyuan, sit here." Liu Qingwan made room for her and asked her to sit here.
Just then, Gu Xingzhou's bowl and two packed boxes of vegetables were brought over and handed to He Yuan.
Since they were all good friends, He Yuan sat down without hesitation and started eating.
After eating for a while, she found that someone was staring at her with a fiery gaze. She looked up and saw that there was a young man who looked strange but a little familiar looking at her.
"Who is this comrade?"
"This is my friend, Shen Xingci." Gu Xingzhou introduced the two parties, "This is our friend, He Yuan."
"He Yuan?" Shen Xingci's voice was a little excited, "Yuanyuan?"
Yang Mumu looked at him and asked, "Do you know Yuanyuan?"
Everyone at the table looked at him curiously.
"Yes, do you know me?" He Yuan took a bite of chicken and stared at him carefully.
He looks a little familiar, but they just can't remember where they have seen him. He doesn't have any memory of them either. Why does he look familiar?
"Who do you know that I don't know?" Gu Xingzhou looked at Shen Xingci puzzledly.
They have known similar people since childhood and can't remember knowing He Yuan before.
"Hey, I know you, I know you." He hurriedly took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over, "Comrade, is this your photo?"
He Yuan's cheeks puffed up and she stretched her head to look at the photo. She couldn't help but widen her eyes. She quickly took the photo in her hand and looked at Shen Xingci in shock.
"How do you have photos of me when I was a child?"
"My brother Xingxing, we played together when we were little, do you remember?"
Shen Xingci hurriedly took out another photo from his pocket, a photo of him and He Yuan when they were children.
Yang Mumu, Gu Xingzhou, Song Yan and Liu Qingwan instantly became spectators.
Their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other, winking at each other with smiles on their faces, and then looked seriously at the two parties who were trying to recognize each other.
This is so interesting. The person who was just talking is actually right in front of them?
