I don't know how long it took for Bai Shuo to regain some consciousness. The first thing he regained was his hearing. He felt someone calling him from far and near, and his consciousness gradually returned. The person calling him was shaking constantly.
Looking at him. Bai Shuo felt that his eyelids were heavy, so he tried to open his eyes, and a figure gradually became clear in front of him. It was Cao An. No, he looked much younger than at the last New Year's party.
"Chang Geng, you bastard, you've finally woken up. It's almost noon. If you don't wake up, I'm going to find a few girls to help you release the alcohol." Seeing Bai Shuo come to his senses, Cao An said happily.
.
But Bai Shuo looked confused and at a loss. He only asked slowly for a long time, "Fat man? What's going on?"
"What's going on? I mean, Chang Geng, you really stopped talking, didn't you? Last night you were emotionally frustrated and asked your brothers to drink. You were already unconscious before we got here. I heard nonsense about you drinking one bottle after another.
Blow the bottle, that’s fine.”
"What's drinking, who has a beard? What time is it now?" Bai Shuo noticed something was wrong, and suddenly sat up and asked Cao An eagerly. Because in Bai Shuo's memory, Baijia Town was undergoing a lot of development and construction, and the bar with a beard had long been
It was demolished, and there has been no news of the bearded man since.
"You're so broken. You forgot about your date with us for a drink? You don't even remember the bearded bar owner at the corner of the street?" Cao An paused, then went to the table and picked up a bowl of noodles. "When can we,
It’s 12 noon now and you’ve been sleeping since last night.”
Seeing that Bai Shuo was still dumbfounded, Cao An continued: "Don't worry, there are still two days until your wedding, so you can't miss anything."
While talking, Cao An walked up to Bai Shuo with noodles and said, "It's noon. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
The scene of the fat man holding the noodles has always been deep in Bai Shuo's memory, but when he saw this familiar scene again, Bai Shuo was completely shocked. This... this familiar scene was not the one before he got married fourteen years ago...
...? Bai Shuo jumped up and pinched the fat man's face hard, but the feeling was quite real. The fat man couldn't fight back while holding the noodles, he could only scream like a baby.
"Fat man, am I still awake? Am I dreaming?"
Cao An broke away and yelled, "You drunk lunatic, you pinched me so hard. You are jealous that I am more handsome than you and you want to disfigure my appearance."
Rubbing his face, Cao An continued, "Uncle Bai has called several times to ask, but your mobile phone is out of battery. We told him that our brothers were drinking at my house last night to discuss the wedding. We were all at my house when we were late.
Go to sleep. Please call him back quickly so that Uncle Bai won't worry."
"No, I'll go back right now. You call my dad first to tell him not to worry." After saying that, Bai Shuo grabbed his coat and rushed out. He seemed to see his parents now, looking for the person in his memory.
An emotion that has long since passed.
Walking on the street, Bai Shuo took a few deep breaths. The hot weather and humid air made him feel a little suffocated. What made him even more suffocated was that everything on the street was exactly the same as it was more than ten years ago.
A little bit of the big city. He tried hard to recall what all this was about.
At this time, the past scenes in his memory floated in front of him like bubbles. Bai Shuo slowly looked at them one by one: his marriage to Zhao Lan, the birth of his daughter, Zhao Lan's departure, the death of his parents, and Li Zhen.
Bits and pieces of my life, and bits and pieces of my brothers... Bubbles floated in front of my eyes one by one, and then seemed to break. Every time a bubble broke, Bai Shuo's heart seemed to have a trace of memory that gradually became blurred.
Some can no longer even recall specific details.
Bai Shuo tried hard to think about what happened to this current situation. Where did it go wrong? Was he drunk in the bar because of the bride price? Before marrying Zhao Lan? Was it time travel? Rebirth? Or was it before?
Was the memory just a long, long dream? Or was he in a dream now? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. And slowly, Bai Shuo discovered that as time went by, the details in the memory of previous experiences became more and more confusing.
Things seem to be getting more and more blurred in the brain until they are forgotten. It is really like when people wake up from a dream, the dream that was clearly clear just now will become more and more forgotten. Of course, some are particularly important and have a very deep impression.
The memory is still hidden deep in the mind, and maybe it can be easily recalled with just a reminder.
After leaving Cao An's house, he didn't go far. Suddenly, he saw a shop across the street. A long-lost memory flashed in the depths of his mind, which made him think of a way that might be able to verify all this.
In front of him was an ordinary lottery shop, but this lottery shop did have a deep impression on Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo still remembered that in the dream, well, let's call the experience that he had not understood before a "dream"
Right. When he passed by here in the dream, Bai Shuo bought a few lottery tickets for the first time. Helplessly, he pinned his hopes on vain luck. He even remembered that the number drawn that night was 5102599, because the homophonic sound was "
I want you to love me for a long time." So the impression was very deep. Even if other memories have gradually faded, this number is deeply imprinted in his mind. After looking at the prize pool, the fund has reached 100 million, and the first prize is 500.
Ten thousand, which means that with 20 bets on the jackpot, you can basically take away the entire amount of the prize pool.
40 yuan was slapped in front of the lottery shop owner, "This number is 20."
The lottery boss didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the number written by Bai Shuo, looked at it with his glasses, and quickly played the lottery ticket. After all, he had seen this way of betting or chasing numbers many times. He didn't feel that what he was seeing was
There is nothing special about this young man, and I don’t think he will really win the big prize.
On the way home, I passed by that special big house again. It was Sister Wanting's house. Although they knew there was a level of kinship, even my parents couldn't tell where the relatives started. Wanting was one year older than Bai Shuo.
Years old, so Bai Shuo always calls Sister Wanting when he meets her. The Wanting family is quite well-known in the business community of Shudu. His father, Bai Wanhao, is a well-known figure in the business community of Shudu, and he has a transcendent character in Baijia Town.
status.
In the hearts of people of Bai Shuo's generation, there are two goddess-level beauties in Baijia Town, known as the "Bai Town Shuang Shu". One of these "Double Shus" is named Xu Chan, who was Bai Shuo's daughter since he was a child.
The two of them had a crush on each other, but then Xu Chan didn't go to college, so she went to Shanghai to find a rich boyfriend, which made Bai Shuo feel lost for a while. And the other "Shu" was
Bai Wanhao's daughter Bai Wanting, in addition to having a more prominent family background than Xu Chan, Wanting has been a genius since she was a child. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a top student with an incredible IQ. At the age of 15, she passed the magic test
Du University, studied abroad at the age of 17, received a master's degree in economics from Princeton at the age of 21, and then returned to Shudu to take charge of the family business and prepare to marry the Chen family, one of the top families in Shudu. But what is surprising is that on the wedding day, she
She actually broke off the engagement she had made with the young master of the Chen family since childhood. She also found a recognized "waste" named Liang Ying to marry into her family and became her husband.
At this time, there was a burst of sharp curses coming from the yard. Bai Shuo knew that it was the relative whom he did not know how to call - Bai Wanting's mother, who was insulting her unsatisfactory son-in-law Liang Ying again. This time Bai Shuo did not.
He was in a hurry to leave, but stopped outside the wall to listen to the extremely irritating insults. This was because Bai Shuo deliberately did not want to follow the rhythm in his memory, and wanted to see what was different about the world.
To say that the good-for-nothing son-in-law can be considered a talent, such insults did not arouse his anger at all. Instead, he ran out with a smile and said to Wanting's mother: "Mom, don't be angry, I'll go right away."
Buying things back will not delay the evening's work."
However, as soon as Liang Ying went out, she bumped into Bai Shuo who was huddled against the wall. Their eyes met, and both of them smiled awkwardly. Looking at Liang Ying's handsome appearance that made men jealous, if it weren't for the fact that he was not very well-dressed, he would
Knowing his reputation as a good-for-nothing, I really thought he was a playboy from a wealthy family.
Bai Shuo still remembers that two years ago, Wanting's father Bai Wanhao invited all the relatives in Baijia Town to the property under his own name. At that time, the most upscale Marriott Hotel in Shu capital attended the wedding ceremony between Bai Wanting and Chen Junjie, the young master of the Chen family.
Wedding. I didn’t do this because I wanted to collect gifts from the folks. It was probably mainly because of the rich people’s desire to show off their fine clothes when they return home. But at Bai Wanting’s wedding, it was supposed to be a warm confession time. The hotel’s
However, the big screen played inappropriate scenes of the groom's groom Chen Junjie being intimate with many women. Although order was quickly restored with the cooperation of the Bai family and the Chen family, Bai Wanting became furious on the spot and wanted to cancel the engagement.
No matter how much the Chen family apologized, swore, or tried to persuade them, it was ineffective.
When the situation became awkward again, the Chen family, who had lost their face, threatened Bai Wanting in a subtle way that she would either complete the wedding or the two families would become enemies in the shopping mall. Chen Junjie was even more arrogant and felt very good about himself.
It was a stupid move for Bai Wanting to give up this marriage, because a handsome, young, promising, wealthy man like him is rare. Even if he was a little sentimental in the past, it was normal.
Unexpectedly, just when Chen Junjie felt very good about himself, Bai Wanting suddenly grabbed a very handsome waiter from the hotel and brought him to the wedding stage. She said to Chen Junjie: "You are just relying on the achievements of your fathers."
Being a little ahead of others for the time being swells up like this. Do you believe it, Lun Handsome, if this person dresses up, he can beat you ten times, Lun is capable of success, even if this person is just a waiter now, as long as he works hard and grasps the
Opportunities will one day prevail over you, a rich young man who only knows how to hide under the protection of his fathers."
Chen Junjie became angry, pointed at the waiter and shouted, "You speak so well of him, why don't you marry him? I'm just waiting to see how your Bai family will train him to become a talent."
Perhaps it was the stimulation of these words, or perhaps she was so angry that she lost her mind, Bai Wanting turned around and asked the waiter loudly:
"May I have your name!"
"Liang Ying"
"How old are you?"
"twenty four"
"I want to marry you, do you dare to marry me?!"
"good!!!"
A few simple words of dialogue made the guests present stunned. At this time, Bai Wanting took the initiative to hold Liang Ying's arm, looked at Chen Junjie angrily and said: "All the guests present have witnessed that this man will be my husband, Bai Wanting, from now on. Ten years.
Within a short period of time, I will make him famous, stand out, and make you willing to admire him."
Chen Junjie sneered and approached Bai Wanting with a fierce momentum: "Okay, I want to see whether he will surpass me or I will trample him, and even your entire Bai family, under my feet."
At this time, a figure pulled Bai Wanting behind him, and a more fierce momentum directly forced Chen Junjie back: "From today on, I will protect my wife with all my strength. No one can threaten her or hurt her." This person
It was Liang Ying who had been a little at a loss before.
Seeing that he was suppressed by the momentum of a waiter, Chen Junjie shouted, "Okay!! We'll see!" After saying that, he strode out and slammed the door. Immediately after, everyone in the Chen family also left.
There were only many guests and distant relatives of the Bai family left who didn't know what to do.
Bai Shuo did not witness what happened next, but it is said that the Bai family had a falling out that night. In the end, due to the irreversible agreement at the wedding and Bai Wanting's persistence, the Bai family elders finally compromised, but asked Liang Ying.
She had to marry into the Bai family. From then on, Liang Ying became their son-in-law.
Liang Ying was originally a citizen of the Hong Kong Island Special Administrative Region. She was tall, strong, handsome and handsome. A few years ago, she went to Nandu University in Suzhou Province, the Mainland, to study. After graduation, she did not return to Hong Kong Island for unknown reasons. Instead, she followed a family member.
A classmate from Shudu came to Shudu to start a business. After two years of doing business, several times they were supposed to be successful businesses, but they were all screwed up in the end. The reason why they said they should have been successful is that Bai Wanting read their project plan at that time.
After studying their projects, I felt that they were all quite feasible. However, I don’t know whether it was due to bad luck or lack of control. All projects eventually failed. Liang Ying later stopped starting a business and only ended up working at the Marriott Hotel.
He worked part-time to make ends meet. After marrying Bai Wanting, he helped Bai Wanting consult on several projects, but he refused to work in Bai's company or do business. He idled around all day long, running errands for people, delivering food, and shopping in the same city.
Commodities, gifts and so on, it really embarrasses the Bai family.
"Hey, Bai Shuo, aren't you about to get married? Why are you still wandering around here?" At this time, Liang Ying was the first to break the awkwardness. Although Liang Ying has been in the mainland for six or seven years, her pronunciation is still the same occasionally.
There will be some Hong Kong accent.
"It's none of your business, you damn handsome guy," Bai Shuo replied in broken Cantonese, which relieved his own embarrassment. In fact, Bai Shuo is one of the few people in Baijia Town who doesn't look down on Liang Ying.
Although the relationship between the two of them is not good friends, they do have some communication from time to time.
"I won't tell you anymore, I have to go do something, otherwise the tigress will show off her power." After that, he disappeared in a flash.
Bai Shuo sometimes envied Liang Ying. Although his son-in-law had no status, at least he didn't worry about money. Although his mother-in-law scolded him like a dog all day long, but when he thought about himself, he was looked down upon and scolded by Zhao Lan's mother.
There is no dignity. Although he has paid a lot for Zhao Lan's family within his own ability, he still cannot get recognition. In a sense, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying really have the same problem. This may be why Bai Shuo has no reason to look down on him.
