Playing cards and drinking with friends. Under the double blow of love and career, Mu Yi lost some direction in life. After get off work every day, he would get together with Zhang Dongmi and Lao Huang to drink and play cards. Anyway, it was boring, and the stakes were not high. The winning or losing amount is just a few dozen dollars. The winner will be entertained. Every day is so lively and chaotic. I have made many friends. This brand of wine circle is getting bigger and bigger. There are more and more friends here. Playing cards and drinking have become a social activity for everyone, and there is a feeling of "knowing each other all over the world". Slowly, Mu Yi's heartache is gradually healing under the anesthesia of alcohol.

We had lunch that day and were getting ready to go to work. Mu Yi received a call from Wen Qingfeng. We had not contacted him for a long time. I was very excited to receive the call suddenly.

"Hey. Buy me a birthday cake."

Wen Qingfeng asked Mu Yi to buy a birthday cake for him. This made Mu Yi feel a little strange.

"Don't be kidding. Today is not April Fool's Day."

"I'm not joking with you. I'm serious. Today is the voice of Zhao Mingyue's mother. You will get off work early and help me buy the birthday cake. Remember to make it bigger."

"Oh." Mu Yi suddenly realized.

"Oh what. Come here early."

"I still can't find Zhao Mingyue's house?"

"You just take the bus and get off at Xianqiao, then walk along the dirt road under the bridge until you reach the house. Just keep walking along the road. After passing Xiatang Elementary School, you have to keep walking down until you reach a

We’re almost at the right-angle turn.”

"What you said is really unclear. What if I go the wrong way?"

"It's just in case. If you can't find it, just ask along the way. By the way, there is a small ditch on the left side of the road."

In fact, Mu Yi had probably guessed where the place Wen Qingfeng was talking about was. It should be near the place where we went to have a wedding banquet during the Spring Festival last year.

Because birthday cakes need to be ordered, Mu Yi went to the most famous "Sunji Pastry" in the county and made a reservation for the birthday cake. Then he rushed to the office to go to work.

When I arrived at the unit, I finished the work. It was already past four o'clock. I quickly asked for leave from my boss. I rushed to get the birthday cake. Then I took a three-wheel train and rushed to Datang.

After crossing Xianqiao, I got out of the car and hurried along the dirt road to Zhao Mingyue's house. As soon as I entered the house, a big native dog was attracted. It barked "woof, woof, woof". He was so frightened that Mu Yi picked up the cake.

, just run away.

After nearly a hundred meters, we finally left the dog's "territory". While looking for the route in my memory, we arrived at Xiatang Primary School. Only then did I confirm that I had not taken the wrong route. Follow the path at the entrance of Xiatang Primary School.

The dirt road went straight down, and after about two or three hundred meters, we arrived at the "right-angle turn" that Wen Qingfeng said. There was no need to ask anyone anymore, because Mu Yi had already seen Wen Qingfeng's "green bread".

I stopped by the roadside and heard the breeze plucking chicken feathers while squatting in the courtyard of a house on the roadside.

"Qingfeng." Mu Yi shouted.

Wen Qingfeng raised his head and saw Mu Yi. At this time, Zhao Mingyue happened to come out from the main room with a basin. Seeing Mu Yi carrying a big cake, she quickly put down the basin and took the cake over. While greeting Mu Yi, she

The cake was placed on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

Zhao Mingyue's home is quite similar to Wen Qingfeng's home. They both have a large courtyard, a three-bay house, and a large vegetable garden with apple trees, peach trees, pear trees, and grape trees.

There are some cannas and peonies beside the courtyard wall, as well as hostas and some unnamed flowers. Generally speaking, it gives the impression that there are many fruit trees and flowers. In addition, the courtyard dam is relatively clean.

When Mu Yi was about to help Wen Qingfeng take care of the chicken feathers, Madam Zhao had already picked some fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden. When she saw Mu Yi, she greeted him with a smile: "You must be Mu Yi."

Mu Yi also quickly shouted: "Hello, Mrs. Zhao. I am Mu Yi, Wen Qingfeng's good brother, and Zhao Mingyue's good friend."

Madam Zhao smiled and handed the dishes to Zhao Mingyue, and the two of them chatted with Mu Yi and Wen Qingfeng while choosing the dishes.

From Madam Zhao's happy smile, Mu Yi could tell that she was very satisfied with Wen Qingfeng's "son-in-law".

In fact, Madam Zhao didn't say much. She just briefly asked about Mu Yi's family situation and settled the relationship. It didn't matter, Zhao Mingyue was actually Mu Yi's niece. Because Zhao Mingyue's aunt married

Mu Yi is a distant cousin. However, in order to avoid embarrassment.

Everyone said, "Each one calls his own name." Anyway, he didn't have much contact with his distant cousin's family. On the contrary, he was closer to Wen Qingfeng and Zhao Mingyue.

From everyone's conversations, I learned that Zhao Mingyue has a younger brother who is learning to barber. He has a girlfriend and is almost ready to talk about marriage.

It seems that Wen Qingfeng and Zhao Mingyue's wedding is coming soon.

After working for a while, the preparations were almost done. Wen Qingfeng went to check the birthday cake. As a result, there was a problem. There was something missing in it. That was the number candle representing age.

Mu Yi clearly remembered that when he went to pick up the cake, the boss specifically asked Mu Yi the age of the birthday boy, and then put the corresponding two numbered candles, paper plates, and plastic cutlery into a small plastic bag, and then

It was tied to the cake rope. Why was it missing? I was not surprised at all. I checked the small plastic bag. Only then did I realize that it was the plastic knife I was going to use to cut the cake that had poked a hole in the small bag. I guess.

The digital candle fell through this hole.

Mu Yi was very sorry, but when he thought that he hadn't met anyone along the way, he probably wouldn't have picked it up if he dropped it on the road, so he went out to look for it.

Zhao Mingyue said quickly: "Forget it, forget it, if it falls, don't look for it."

Wen Qingfeng didn't say anything. But Mu Yi felt that he was not doing things well and blamed himself. He said, "You guys should cook first. Wouldn't it be better if I went out to look for it? Wouldn't it be better if I found it?"

I trotted back along the way I came. Finally, I saw two candles with numbers when I got off Xianqiao and just entered the house. They were lying quietly on the roadside one behind the other. Muyi's eyes lit up.

He quickly picked them up. Yes, yes, those two numbers are the age of Mrs. Zhao. It seems that she ran away when she was chased by a dog when she passed by here.

Mu Yi happily picked up the candle and finally lived up to his trust.

While Zhao Mingyue and Madam Zhao were busy in the kitchen, Mu Yi couldn't help but asked Wen Qingfeng out of curiosity.

"Qingfeng, when did you and Zhao Mingyue get along?"

"Hey hey hey. Why is this so good? It's fate."

"Oh, fate has arrived. What is fate?"

"Fate is not a thing. Fate is a feeling. I can't explain it to you clearly. When you meet her one day, you will understand. It's probably the feeling that you want to live with her."

Actually, Mu Yi didn’t know if the feelings he experienced were fate. If they were, why didn’t they last? If not, why did they happen to them again? And they were so heartbreaking. What did that feel like?

Especially like a carefree child who suddenly got a delicious ice cream. When he took a bite, he was slammed to the ground with a "snap" and watched helplessly as the delicious ice cream was like this.

It turns into nothing and disappears without a trace, leaving only some residual smell that makes you regretful.

Seeing Mu Yi's dazed look, Wen Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.

"What. You also met your fate?"

Mu Yi shook his head dumbly.

…

Concubine Zhao had a very happy birthday. She was about to complete the historical task of "bringing the results together". After Uncle Zhao passed away due to illness, Concubine Zhao had been frowning.

She has not been this happy for a long, long time. She saw her daughter find her right husband, and saw Wen Qingfeng mature and steady. She knew that her daughter would live happily in this life. So she did not ask anything for Wen Qingfeng, nor did she ask them.

You must buy a house when you get married, and you are not required to receive any amount of betrothal gift.

Although no one asked her these sensitive questions, Madam Zhao still took the initiative to speak out about them.

"Brother Wen, I don't have any requirements for you and Mingyue. I just hope that you will live happily. Now that you are still working in the mountains, there is no need to buy a house or anything. Don't always buy things like this for me.

It’s a waste of money to buy something like that. Save your money carefully, and there will be many places to use your money in the future.”

Wen Qingfeng said quickly: "Honey, don't say that. I should be filial to you. You worked hard to bring out the bright moon and suffered a lot. We all know it. We will not let you down."

"

"Brother Wen, let's go and see your family when it suits you. It will be easier to deal with your affairs early. It will also be easier to deal with the youngest's affairs. As for the gift money, you can rest assured. I am not the kind of person who sells his daughter.

If you bring a lot, I will let Mingyue take it away intact. As for me adding a lot to you, don't be upset. It's just a little bit of my heart."

Madam Zhao's words may not express her inner meaning quite well. But everyone understood it. Wen Qingfeng was very moved, Zhao Mingyue was very moved, and Mu Yi was also very moved.

After dinner, I lit birthday candles and sang "Happy Birthday".

Concubine Zhao made a "wishes" devoutly, then blew out the candles and cut the cake for everyone to eat...

After eating the cake, Mu Yi got up and went to catch the bus. He was afraid that he would be late and would not be able to catch the bus. He had to go to work tomorrow.

"Let's play for a while longer. I'll ask your brother to drive you back later."

"Forget it. It's a rare trouble. You have to send me alone and have to run around. It's very convenient for me to walk to Xianqiao to catch the bus."

"Then I'll take you to Xianqiao."

"Forget it. You behave well here. I'll go back and save the gift money for you."

"Hahaha." Wen Qingfeng laughed heartily.
