Usually this kind of reunion scene after a long absence is mainly about the past, Qiao Wan and Wei Lan didn't chat for a while, and then they talked about the things that happened when Wei Lan and Liang Sheng were in school.
Qiao Wan said: "I remember that you two used to call each other brother and sister. You are one year older than Liang Sheng. In terms of relationship, Liang Sheng should call you cousin, but you insist on being Liang Sheng's sister."
Wei Lan answered with a smile, her eyes drifting to Liang Sheng next to me from time to time, "Because Liang Sheng has better grades than me and is bigger than me, it feels safer to call him brother. It's funny to say that I used to call him Liang Sheng every time. When I met Brother Sheng, he would only glance at me and never respond."
"I have been shouting out of wishful thinking for seven or eight years," she added.
"Haha." Qiao Wan smiled heartily, with long fine lines showing at the corners of her eyes, "You were both young and ignorant at that time. Now if I ask you to continue calling him brother, you may not be willing to do so."
Wei Lan replied without hesitation: "Yes, of course I do." After she finished speaking, she realized that her answer was too pretentious, so she emphasized: "It would be embarrassing for him to call me sister."
Liang Sheng smiled cooperatively, didn't answer, and added a piece of beef and put it in my bowl.
"Now if you call him brother, it will be Shen Yan who takes advantage. She is several years younger than you, and you still have to call her sister-in-law." Qiao Wan smiled heartlessly, and his eyes glanced at me gloomily intentionally or unintentionally. s face.
Their eyes were focused on my face, and I had no choice but to smile in response. I didn't know what to say in response, so I just kept silent.
The smile on Wei Lan's face became a little stiff. She looked at me and said with a smile: "Calling Ana Shen sister-in-law doesn't mean calling Ana Shen old."
I thought to myself, I don’t mind, you can call me sister-in-law from now on.
He thought so in his heart, but he just said: "You can do the same as Liang Sheng and call me Yanyan."
To be honest, I really didn’t mean to be provocative, but as soon as I said these words, it felt a bit embarrassing. The implication is that Liang Sheng calls her Weilan and me Yanyan. The difference is already obvious.
Wei Lan obviously understood this. Her eyes were a little erratic, and she flashed across Liang Sheng's face. She pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay, then I will also call you Yanyan."
Qiao Wan said to Wei Lan, "Since you will stay in Haicheng from now on, you should hang out more with Liang Sheng and Yan Yan, especially Yan Yan. You are both girls. If you have nothing to do, you can go shopping together."
Wei Lan nodded generously: "Well, that's for sure. Now I'm slowly transferring the work at hand to other colleagues, and I'll have more free time in the future. As long as I'm willing, I really hope to keep in touch with her, but you guys I only have a few acquaintances in Haicheng."
Liang Sheng changed the topic and asked: "Your company is already very stable in Shanghai. Why do you suddenly think of moving back to Haicheng? Didn't your parents also settle in Shanghai?"
After this question was asked, the table was quiet for a few seconds. Looking at Wei Lan's hesitant expression, I guessed that the reason for her coming back was probably because of feelings. She is one year older than Liang Sheng, which means she has passed the New Year's Eve. In our hometown, there are only a handful of women who are still single at the age of thirty. It can be said that this is not a glorious thing. In some rural areas, women who are still unmarried at the age of thirty may even suffer discrimination.
With Weilan's conditions, it is not difficult to find a well-matched and successful person in Shanghai, but she chose to return to Haicheng at this juncture. Either she is eager to change her lifestyle, or she is looking forward to having a relationship with someone. story.
Weilan stopped talking, thought for a while, and answered: "Actually, I have wanted to go back to Haicheng for a long time. It's just that I just started a business before and the company was not stable yet, so it was not suitable for such trouble. It doesn't matter now. Maybe it's because I have reached a certain age. What I value has changed. Now even if I am asked to give up the company, I will still insist on returning to Haicheng."
When Wei Lan said these words, her eyes were clear, like falling stars. Her calmness and confidence became a unique charm with her age and experience. Men should all admire this kind of woman, including Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng raised his eyebrows and nodded: "You are indeed very thoughtful, just like me back then."
Wei Lan smiled, "That's because you have more courage. I just didn't have the courage to stay in Shanghai for so many years."
There was a lot of regret in Azure's voice.
Liang Sheng just smiled and said nothing more.
Qiao Wan invited us to eat. After eating, we sat on the sofa and watched TV together.
They said they were watching TV, but in fact they were just chatting in a different place.
Qiao Wan sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing us. She looked at Wei Lan and asked, "Have you visited your Aunt Liu Ping in the past few days since you came back?"
"Is Aunt Liu Ping also in Haicheng?" Weilan lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't know. How about we go over there to see her when we are free another day?"
Qiao Wan would never refuse such a request. She wished we could play with her every day. She nodded immediately and pretended to take out her mobile phone to make a call: "Just tomorrow, I'll make an appointment with her."
"Isn't Yanyan going home tomorrow?" Weilan asked without knowing what she meant.
I nodded: "Well, I'm going home. It doesn't matter. You go and say hello to me."
Qiao Wan's phone was connected, and Liang Sheng said, "You two can go tomorrow. I'll send Yanyan home. Let's go there together next time."
Liang Sheng's words really impressed me. Originally, I thought it was embarrassing for them to exclude me from the fun, but when he said this, I felt a lot more relieved.
The smile that had just appeared on Wei Lan's face disappeared a little, and she could only nod her head: "That's okay."
