Chapter 20: Parting

Meng Fan is very happy about the joining of the big country. After living with a big country for more than a year, I have long been a good friend and a good brother, and now I have become a companion. Thinking about the process, it is really intriguing.

Leaving the patriarch's home, Meng Fan walked around the village with Su Qian and the big country. The whole village is surrounded by mountains and water, the blue sky, the cool spring water, the tender green weeds, the willow branches hanging like hair, and the soil in the air mixed with the fragrance of tender grass. Everything is so refreshing.

However, this kind of life does not belong to you.

What you are about to face is another brand-new world.

After lunch, Meng Fan officially said goodbye to the village. Standing at the entrance of the village, the big country constantly told his grandfather to pay attention to his health, his eyes turned red, and Su Qian also seemed to be a little reluctant.

Almost all the villagers came out to say goodbye. Looking at their simple and unpretentious faces, Meng Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion and melancholy.

This is an indescribable feeling, which seems to be a long-lost feeling. When I was a child, I had this feeling in my mother's arms, but since my 11-year-old parents abandoned me, I no longer had such a feeling.

The rented Audi car was polished by the women in the village and stopped quietly behind Meng Fan. After saying goodbye to the patriarch, Meng Fan fell down and got into the car.

"Meng Fan, you are really an emotional person." Su Qian also got into the car and sat in the co-pilot's seat. Meng Fan's slight expression obviously did not escape her eyes.

The big country is still saying goodbye to the villagers. He grew up here, and the whole Li family village is his closest relatives. At the time of parting, the man who is 1.9 meters tall is crying like a child.

After a few minutes, the grandfather of the big country, the majestic patriarch, seemed to be unable to stand the talk of the big country. He stretched out his hand and pushed it on the shoulder of the big country, pushed the big country a few meters away, and threw him heavily beside the Audi car.

"Get out, little rabbit, practice your fists and live well!" The old man put his crutch heavily on the ground and shouted.

The big country became solemn, knelt on its knees, knocked three times to the old man, and then gritted his teeth and got into the car.

"Big country, we are leaving." Meng Fan said lightly.

"Ye." The big country tilted its head and looked out of the window in a low voice.

The car moved slowly. After a minute, Meng Fan looked back and looked far away. The old man was still standing at the entrance of the village. The breeze blew his long white beard, and his figure looked so different from the people behind him. He was lonely, lonely and particularly lonely.

Since the big country got on the car, it hasn't said a word and hasn't come out of the sadness of parting with Grandpa.

"Yo, Boy, what are you doing so dull?" Su Qian looked at the big country and said with a smile, "Let me tell you a joke to ease your mood."

"Once upon a time, there was a very boring polar bear. Remember, it was a very boring polar bear. One day, it was so boring that it couldn't stand it, so it began to slowly pull out its hair one by one. After a year, it finally pulled out its hair. Guess what happened to it?"

"Of course I know, he said: Oh, it's so cold. Then it froze to death, right?" The big country lowered its head and said slowly.

"Bingo, what a smart child, you guessed right."

Meng Fan is speechless. This cold joke is everywhere on the Internet. Anyone should know it.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you another question, which is also a very interesting question." Su Qian giggled, "If you can guess correctly this time, I'll treat you to seafood when you get back to Dalian."

"Once upon a time, there was a handsome white-bellied penguin in the Antarctic. One day, it was bored and suddenly wanted to go to the Arctic to find its good friend - the polar bear. So, it set out. After a year and halfway there, it suddenly remembered that it didn't bring a sleigh. How could this work? It had to take another year to go home to pick up the sled, and then set off again. It took a total of four years to reach the North Pole. Guess what happened to it after it arrived at the North Pole?

The big country shook its head and said, "I've heard this joke for a long time. The polar bear said to the penguin: Let's go to your house to play! This joke has been spreading on the Internet for several years.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Su Qian said categorically, "It's completely wrong."

"Eh? Isn't it right?" The big country scratched its head, "That's obviously what it says on the Internet."

"Yes, I can prove it to a big country. That's what it says on the Internet!" Meng Fan also became interested, "Su Qian, do you have any new answers?"

"You can believe whatever you say on the Internet. Why don't you think about it yourself?" Su Qian turned around gracefully and stretched out her hand to play the big chestnut of the big country. "Boy, you're still far behind."

"Then tell me, what's the answer?" The big country was attracted by this question, as if it had temporarily forgotten the departure just now.

Didn't you say that? The polar bear has died because it plucked its hair, so when the penguin came to the Arctic, it found that the polar bear was dead, so it had to play alone.

"Haha, Su Qian, you are really talented. Are you original?" Meng Fan laughed.

The big country also laughed.

"Then I'll give you another question." Su Qian said, "In the past, there was a beautiful white-bellied penguin in the Antarctic. One day, it was bored and suddenly wanted to go to the North Pole to find its good friend - the polar bear. So, it set out. After a year and halfway there, it suddenly remembered that it didn't bring a sleigh. How could this work? It had to take another year to go home to pick up the sled, and then set off again. It took a total of four years to reach the North Pole. Guess what happened to it after it arrived at the North Pole?

Meng Fan and the big country looked at each other and asked almost with one voice, "Isn't this exactly the same as the question just now?"

Is that right? Can you tell me the answer?"

"Ye." The big country thought for a moment, "The polar bear died, so it played alone?"

Su Qian shook her head and said with a smile, "You big man, you really can't draw inferences. Let me tell you, the previous penguin is a very handsome penguin. This one is a very beautiful penguin. After the beautiful penguin arrived at the North Pole, he found that the polar bear was dead, but he met the handsome penguin, so the two penguins lived happily together. This is a perfect love story, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha..." Meng Fan laughed.

"Damn it!" After holding back for a long time, the big country finally gave a thumbs up and said to Su Qian, "Su Qian, you are really imaginative. I'm convinced. I'm absolutely convinced."

At this point, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed because of the boredom and reluctance caused by parting.

From Heze to Dalian, it takes about eight hours to drive fast. Two weeks ago, when he came to Heze at the request of a big country, Meng Fan was very anxious and the car drove at the fastest speed. But at this time, without the fetters of emergencies, Meng Fan was finally able to calm down, put the speed of the car at about 100, and enjoy the scenery outside the window while chatting with Su Qian and the big country.

After more than ten hours, it was early the next morning, and several people finally returned to Dalian. One of the purposes of returning to Dalian this time is to return the car and return the rented Audi A6 to the car.

Of course, there is a more important purpose - to take Su Qian's big red box.

"Oh, my red suitcase is still in the Dalian cafe. There are a lot of beautiful clothes in it. I forgot to bring it when I went to Heze in a hurry. Be sure to take it with me when I go to Macao this time!" Su Qian's tone was firm, as she said.

Meng Fan is also helpless.

Su Qian welcomes the joining of the big country. To be more precise, she enjoys the status of a master sister. The heavy responsibility of carrying the big red box naturally falls on the shoulders of the big country.

After returning the car, several people came to Su Qian's cafe. After Su Qian left, the cafe was still open, but the business seemed to have been greatly affected.

There is nothing we can do. In this cafe, Su Qian has several positions - boss, barista, bartender and chef. After she leaves, these jobs can only be handed over to others. Those old customers are used to the taste made by Su Qian, so they will naturally not come again.

Of course, there are some sultry college students who come for the mature and elegant boss's wife. After Su Qian leaves, they will no longer spend money on coffee.

"Wait a minute!" Looking at the cold business of the cafe, Su Qian was a little sad. After arranging Meng Fan and the big country in a private room, she hurriedly left.

"Hey, Xiaofan." After Su Qian left, Da Daguo whispered to Meng Fan, "Is this Su Qian's girlfriend? I think you are very kind to her."

"Ah?" Meng Fan was stunned and suddenly felt that his face was hot and he looked a little submissive. "Of course not."

"You boy, I don't know you yet? Poker, mahjong, especially gambling machines, you can play anything, and you can't say anything to your friends and brothers. But emotionally, you are a fucking idiot. You should learn from other rats.

"Damn, do you want me to be a stallion?" Meng Fan felt dizzy.

The big country burst into laughter.

After 20 minutes, Su Qian elegantly came back with a plate, on which there were three meat, two vegetarian dishes and five plates, which were steaming. When she walked into the private room, she was in high spirit, as if she had become the mature coffee shop owner again.

"The big country hasn't tasted my craft yet. Come on, try it!" Su Qian is very confident in her craft.

After more than ten hours on the road, several people only ate some bread and drank a little drink. Now in the face of the temptation of delicious food, Meng Fan and the big country are like hungry wolves, with their eyes shining.

"Delicious, delicious." The big country devoured, "Su Qian, with your skills, you are really blind if you don't become a chef in a big hotel."

"Yo, Boy, didn't I tell you? You should call me big sister, big, big, big sister!" Su Qian also ate a little slowly. After listening to the words of the big country, she smiled and looked at Meng Fan and asked, "Don't you think so? Master."

"Puff--" Meng Fan was stunned and blushed. He looked at Su Qian with a helpless face.

When did you become Su Qian's master?

Finally, I didn't call myself Boss, but it changed to an old-fashioned name. Hi, where is this?

"Come on, master, eat a piece of chicken leg meat. Little brother, you should also eat more." Su Qian picked up a piece of chicken with a smile and put it in Meng Fan's bowl.

"Don't call me Master, don't call me Master--"

"Yes, yes. I'm not your little brother either!"

"Haha, there are really two shy and lovely people."

......

After dinner, the three chatted for a while to discuss some preparations such as booking plane tickets and procedures.

Finally, he is going to Macao. I don't know what kind of ability Li He has. Meng Fan is full of expectations.
