"Did you find it?"
"Not yet, I haven't answered the phone all the time."
"Oh, then you go first."
After asking a few words, Grandma Zeng sent her grandson away and went back to the small hall inside. There were four people sitting in the room, all of them were elderly people of about the same age. They looked ordinary, but their expressions carried a sense of battle-tested experience and majesty.
"I said, what are you doing, have you gone out twice in a while?"
Old man Lei had the best relationship, and he didn't care about what he said, complaining: "It's so easy for you to be the host, if you have to get this shitty place, just come, you don't care about people..."
"All right, all right, I don't like to listen to your nagging!"
Old man Xiao liked to choke with him, so he interrupted with a wave of his hand, and then turned to Grandma Zeng: "What's the trouble?"
"No, I just want to invite a child, but I can't find anyone now." The old lady laughed.
"oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang and Sun, who were relatively quiet, couldn't help being curious, and said one after another:
"Is that the little Gu you mentioned?"
"You've praised him so much, it won't work after a while, and you'll be ashamed."
"It's too early to say, people may not come here yet. Well, let's not mention this..."
The old lady poured tea for everyone, then changed the topic and began to talk about recent policy changes and the market environment. Those four people were also much more enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was lively for a while.
This is the main purpose of the Summer Tea Club. Today's businessmen, who are ambitious, want to develop in multiple fields. These five people each have their own origins, and now they are all large groups. Naturally, they need to cooperate in depth to achieve a win-win situation.
A few old people are just like children, half bickering and half serious. After talking for a while, Zeng Yuewei suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Grandma, I got in touch, and said they are coming at night."
"What is Xiao Gu doing?"
"He didn't talk, he seems to be very busy."
"Okay, then I know."
When Zeng Yuewei stepped back, old man Lei first expressed his dissatisfaction, and hummed: "You are really big enough!"
"Those who are capable don't call it airs, they call it arrogance." Old man Xiao continued to argue.
Elder Sun smiled and said, "Heh, you are really special, kid."
"That's right, young people nowadays are pretty individual." Mr. Zhang continued.
"..."
What can Grandma Zeng say? A few old friends seem easy-going, but sitting in this position, it is inevitable that they have a temper and arrogance. It's just a perfume maker, and it's a bit ignorant to delay so many invitations.
But it's no wonder that they haven't experienced it for themselves...
The old lady shook her head lightly, picked up her tea and took a sip.
At the same time, in the lobby and courtyard outside, a group of young people were actively socializing. Lei Ziming has a bold personality and the strongest family, he seems to be the core figure.
At this moment, he pulled a girl to introduce to everyone: "Come here, let's get to know each other. This is Uncle Xiao's niece. She just came back from abroad. She is a talented student."
"Hi everyone, my name is Xiao Yuanyuan, please take care of me when I'm new here."
The girl was slender and cute, and looked very student-like. Everyone didn't dare to underestimate them. Those who could be brought to this party must be the outstanding juniors of the family.
Xiao Yuanyuan doesn't speak much, but she has excellent conversation skills, and she gets along with everyone in a short time. There were very few girls present, so she chatted around for a while, and naturally found Zeng Yuewei.
"Sister Weiwei, I've heard Brother Ziming tell you about you a long time ago, and I finally saw you today. You really are so beautiful!" She had a sincere attitude and felt very sincere.
Zeng Yuewei just laughed, I saw that you were a green tea whore as soon as I opened my eyes, and immediately smiled and said: "Where is it, when you come out as a top student from the business school, I feel ashamed of myself."
"I can't compare to my sister, you have helped the family so early, I am at most a rice bug."
Xiao Yuanyuan looked harmless to humans and animals, and asked again: "I wonder what my sister is responsible for in the company?"
"It's not responsible, it's mainly about planning."
"Planning, that's great! I want to ask my sister for a little favor..."
She didn't wait for the other party's response, and continued: "I plan to open a wine bar, but I am not familiar with all aspects, can you help me with my staff?"
"Red bar? Is it a salon?" Zeng Yuewei was taken aback.
"Basically, it's just that everyone tastes wine and chats together."
"oh… "
Zeng Yuewei understood in no time, it was probably a small private club, where you could store wine and bring girls here to flirt, pretend to be aggressive or something.
She couldn't refuse, so she said, "Then let's leave a phone call and talk in detail when we go back."
"Thank you, Miss Weiwei!"
Xiao Yuanyuan grinned, climbed up the pole, and said with a smile, "You grew up with brother Ziming, and that's my sister. You can take care of me in the future."
"Oh, no problem!"
Zeng Yuewei rolled her eyes in her heart, she had eight white teeth showing a special standard.
…
A group of people talked and chatted, and the sky became darker in a blink of an eye.
The five old fellows talked for a long time before they walked out of the small hall slowly. They all had smiles on their faces. It should be a good result. Grandma Zeng had invited a cook over earlier, and cooked a lot of vegetarian dishes, filling the dining room, main hall and side rooms on both sides.
In the past, gatherings were held in clubs, clubs or villas. That's a good thing, there are not even decent nightclubs in this poor and remote place.
The juniors complained again and again, but they didn't behave well, and it was purely a day trip to the farmhouse.
After eating, the five old guys all ran to the side room, where there were records and tea. Grandma Zeng opened the wooden door, facing the secluded courtyard, but when she looked up, she saw a bright moon hanging high.
She strictly followed what Baoyu told her, but other people didn't like it.
The old man Lei was pulling the futon under his buttocks, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he moved it, he couldn't help saying: "You have lived at the foot of the mountain for a few years, do you really plan to eat fast and chant Buddha?"
"That's right, it's too awkward to do this! I didn't pay so much attention before." It was rare for Old Man Xiao not to argue.
Grandma Zeng didn't bother to take care of it, she put a tray under the eaves, and there was an incense burner and a whole set of tools in that tray. She smoked and lit the charcoal fire herself, and put three incense sticks with the moon.
At this point, everyone fell silent. Grandma Zeng has been in Amway for more than half a month, and she has all kinds of praises. They really want to see and see. It usually takes about two minutes for the incense to dissipate, but after waiting for a while, there is no smell.
"Isn't it expired?" Lao Lei couldn't help but asked.
"Is the temperature enough? I have a lighter here." Lao Xiao also joked.
"..."
The old lady suddenly felt a little vain, and the bullshit went out. If she didn't give her strength, she would be slapped in the face! She hurried forward to check, the charcoal was burning well and the temperature was sufficient, so why...
Huh
She paused, and suddenly smelled a very faint fragrance. At first she thought it was an illusion, but then she sniffed, and sure enough, the smell came out.
Not only her, but the four people who were a little further away also felt it, and they all concentrated on feeling it. There seems to be a ray of coldness in the fragrance, and a touch of sweetness in the coldness. The two feelings are blended and intertwined, naturally transparent.
"..."
The four looked at each other and nodded secretly. As soon as an expert makes a move, he can get a glimpse of the truth. Just this gesture is enough to be called a master.
Just thinking like this, the expressions of the four of them changed again. Because the breath became thicker and thicker, and finally seemed to be real, turning around each person's side...
Until then, the image contained in it was completely released.
"This is… "
"this… "
It wasn't too cold tonight, but the five of them shivered suddenly, they felt their pores open thinly, and felt a layer of loneliness inexplicably. This loneliness is not in the flesh, not in the heart, but it seems to be thousands of miles away.
The five people couldn't help looking up, and saw the bright moon as bright as a flying mirror, the silver light sprinkled on the incense burner, and the lingering green smoke floated into the courtyard together.
In the evening, the clouds are collected, and the sky is pale. I don't know if the moon palace is reflected in the world, or whether the moon palace reflects the world. The jade dew in this small courtyard is just zero, and the golden wind is not yet cold. The blue brick floor is covered with silver reflections, like a cold rabbit and a toad, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is frosty.
"..."
The five of them sat under the old eaves, uncontrollably thinking:
There's never been a better time of year.
…
I don't know how long it took before the fragrance gradually faded away.
When they came back to their senses, their eyes were full of dim lights, and they all felt that the time was too short and the night was too long. She was sighing, but was suddenly interrupted by a slight sound, and looked up.
"Squeak!"
Covered in moonlight, Gu Yu pushed open the courtyard door.
