The picture is poor

The picture is poor

"Boss, cut a piece of pig ears, weigh two pounds of duck heads, a box of duck necks, and cut some duck hearts and pig skins."

"Well, Xiaoxia, I haven't seen you come here for a long time."

"Well, I've been quite busy lately. Students are about to take the mock exam."

"It's really hard for those of you who are graduating class teachers... After weighing in, it's a total of one hundred and thirty-five yuan."

"Thank you." Xia Jinyan took the packaged braised food, but did not leave. Instead, she was in a daze in front of the shop.

"Xiaoxia, are you worried?"

"..." Xia Jinyan was silent for a long time, then said in a harsh voice:

"In the past, the three of us loved eating your braised food, especially during our senior year in high school."

"That's right." The fat boss lady's eyes instantly turned red:

"I still remember the way you three were playing and having fun in your school uniforms to this day, but it's a pity...sigh."

Xia Jinyan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

…

Ding dong——

"Who is it?"

"I."

"Hahaha, Jinyan, come on, come in and sit down, and you have something with you? Oooh~ Isn't this the duck product from Fat Mom's Braised Meat Shop next to our high school?"

"Well, I bought some because I missed their taste."

"Me too, tsk tsk. At that time, the three of us took fat mom's braised food and went for a picnic on Saturday and Sunday. We didn't even do any homework. As a result, your kid was still the unbeatable number one in the grade. Please tell me, did you memorize it?

Did you study hard for us?"

"I'm not risking my life." Xia Jinyan walked in and closed the door gently:

"In an exam of that level, it's not my turn to risk my life."

"...I won't talk to you anymore, you are a bit annoying when you talk." Zhou Tianzuo took the bag of braised food and shouted into the room:

"Xue'er, don't sleep, Jin Yan is here!"

"Ah? Oh, I'll get up right away..." Cheng Xueer's voice came from the microphone.

Xia Jinyan chuckled:

"Why do you live on this floor, but Xueer lives on the lower floor? Is there a conflict? Are you sleeping in separate rooms?"

"That's not true. It's just that Xue'er recognizes the bed. There is a super large bed in the living room on the lower floor, which can accommodate ten people. It is said that every piece of velvet is handmade by craftsmen in Northern Europe. Xue'er likes it.

Sleeping there, she said she slept soundly."

"It's not okay to do this. How can we sleep in separate rooms without getting married?"

"Well, I originally wanted to use a crane to bring up the big bed, but... forget it, I'll tell you later."

Zhou Tianzuo started working in the kitchen, while Xia Jinyan turned on the TV out of boredom and fiddled with it absently.

Soon, Cheng Xueer came up.

Her family owns a theme park, so Cheng Xueer dresses in a fairy tale style. In addition to wearing double ponytails, she also likes gorgeous skirts.

She seemed to be dressed up today, wearing a gothic black dress and an ultramarine tiara, as if she was attending a ball.

"Jinyan, let's see how I look."

Her smile was as bright as a flower, and her eyes were as bright as stars twinkling in them.

"You have always been beautiful. I have known this since I was very young."

"Ha... Do you want to introduce a girl to you? I know a lot of hot girls."

"No need, I don't want to talk about it yet."

"Do you really plan to die alone? Jinyan, an outstanding person like you has the sacred obligation to pass on your genes!"

"Say more." Xia Jinyan paused:

"Xue'er, you..."

"The meal is ready, come on, come on, serve it!"

Zhou Tianzuo appeared and interrupted the young teacher's unspoken words.

The three of them sat down at the dining table one after another. It was half past ten in the morning, an awkward time between breakfast and lunch, but for young people, irregular eating is not a big deal.

On the dinner plate is placed the duck product bought from Fat Mama Braised Meat Shop. It is the same as a few years ago. The color and taste are impeccable. It is good with rice or as a snack.

However, none of the three people moved their chopsticks.

The food may be the same as before, but people will eventually change.

It seems that from the moment you enter the dining room, the harmonious and trustful atmosphere of the past has completely disappeared, and a lifeless condensation has accumulated in this room, making people breathless.

In the end, it was Zhou Tianzuo who spoke first. He put on plastic gloves and fiddled with the duck's head back and forth, but did not eat it.

"Jinyan, let me tell you something."

"Well, I'm listening."

"Xue'er and I are leaving China."

"...Where to go?"

“West Vancouver.”

“Great place.”

"Yes, with the snow-capped mountains at its back and the sea facing it, it has a Winter Olympics-level ski resort and a beach surrounded by forests. It is one of the most livable cities in the world."

"Do uncles and aunts all agree?"

"Hey, young people, just leave as soon as you say it!"

"Has the date of departure been decided?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"oh……"

Xia Jinyan pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.

"Of course, Jin Yan, we will contact you when we arrive in West Vancouver." Zhou Tianzuo said softly:

"After all, the three of us are best friends, right?"

Best... friend? Xia Jinyan sighed.

Yes, of course we are best friends, and our understanding of each other is deep in our bones. Maybe the moment I knocked on the door just now, you can guess why I came here?

The young teacher picked at his nails unconsciously, thinking of his childhood.

Xia Jinyan's childhood came to an end when his parents died in a car accident.

Although his parents were intellectuals and left a rich inheritance, the family was thin and no one could take care of him at a young age. As a result, Xia Jinyan was fostered in Zhou Tianzuo's family.

The Zhou family and his wife are nice people and very rich, but they are too busy to take care of the family and educate the young Zhou Tianzuo personally. They feel deeply guilty about this and choose to raise Xia Jinyan, which also has the benefits of giving.

The son's idea of ​​finding a childhood playmate.

Although Xia Jinyan and Zhou Tianzuo are not related by blood, they are brothers.

They grew up together, played games together, made mischief together, got scolded together, and... met a girl with twin ponytails together.

Xia Jinyan has lost count of the number of times when he was scolded as a "wild child without a father and a mother", Zhou Tianzuo rushed to fight with others for him.

He also couldn't remember how many hot summer days he secretly stared at Cheng Xueer's flowing ponytail in a daze.

He only knew that Zhou Tianzuo and Cheng Xueer had always been by his side during the green years when he was growing up.

Yeah...how could we not be best friends?

Xia Jinyan looked at Zhou Tianzuo and noticed the sadness and pleading in his close friend's eyes.

——Stop asking, Jin Yan, just let us go in such a confused way, we won't hurt you, but you can't pierce this layer of window paper, otherwise, otherwise, otherwise...

The young teacher's heart almost stopped beating with sadness. His eyes moved back and forth between the two friends. Finally, Xia Jinyan closed his eyes and spoke softly:

"Tian Zuo, in order to let Xue'er survive until now... what have you done?"
