Chapter IX Announcement of Marriage
The car drove for half an hour before reaching its destination.
Taoyuan Town is a town located within the jurisdiction of Pingjiang City. It is not large in area but has a long history. It is a typical Jiangnan water town.
Unlike the ancient towns that have been commercially developed, the people in Taoyuan Town have always maintained their slow lifestyle. Those who come here will feel comfortable having a half-day leisure life.
Although I have lived in Pingjiang City for so many years, Mingmei has never been here.
As the evening approaches, the sunset glows dye the sky, and the ancient buildings under the corners of the sky are also like paintings, with a dreamlike beauty.
Mingmei lay on the car window and watched the scenery. The evening breeze blowing through her face was still filled with a hint of heat, but this feeling of freedom and openness was something she hadn't felt again in a long time.
Seeing that she was very interested in the surrounding environment, Shi Jun slowed down her driving speed.
"Look at the scene of the small bridge and flowing water, does it look like the scene you will see when you film?" The car moved forward along the moat, pointing brightly at a bridge full of ancient style in the distance, and said to Shi Jun excitedly.
Shi Jun smiled: "I had a drama before, and I did take a scene there."
Well……
When it comes to his previous dramas, Mingmei felt a little embarrassed to speak. She had learned a lot of his past information, but she didn't really catch a cold about some of the low-quality online dramas he filmed a few years ago, so she gave up after taking a glance. But if she told him like this, would he be sad?
"No wonder you wanted to bring me here. You must have found something delicious here when filming, right?" Mingmei changed the topic.
"Yeah, that's right."
The car drove to a shopping mall and stopped.
Usually there are no outsiders in the town, and they are basically residents of the town. It is now get off work time, and there are a little more cars on the road, but there are still spaces in the parking lot in front of the mall. Shi Jun parked his car into an empty parking space and said to Mingmei: "That hotel is in the ancient town block, and the car can't be driven in, let's walk over."
Mingmei is getting more and more anticipated. This kind of town that lives in a corner can definitely find many unexpected surprises. She is even a little dazed, as if she was back to the town in her hometown. When she was a child, Minglang and Minglang carried their schoolbags to their grandma's house. It was also an old town. The difference is that the town is located in the mountains and has a kind of isolation from the world. After many years, after her grandma passed away, she has never been back, afraid of seeing things and thinking about others. And grandma really has passed away for many years.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jun took a few steps and found that Mingmei didn't follow him. He turned around and saw her standing there in a daze.
Mingmei smiled, waved away the sudden sadness and said, "It's okay, let's go quickly, I'm hungry."
The two began to walk towards the central block of the town, saying it was the central block, because it still retained the original layout, the road was paved with blue bricks, the streets were not wide, and there were various shops on both sides of the road, including mobile phone stores, department stores, private supermarkets, and occasionally several noodle shops and private restaurants. The dusk sunk a little, and the neon lights at the door of the store were lit up, and the promotional loudspeaker shouted "On the last three days, 10% off the audience". Although the boss's Mandarin sounded crappy, it was also cute.
This place even the air is filled with a comfortable human fireworks.
Shi Jun and Mingmei walked side by side and asked her, "Do you feel uncomfortable coming to this kind of place?" He was a little worried, she would feel that it was messy and messy.
Mingmei glanced at him and said with a funny look: "Teacher Shi, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Did I grow up eating grains and grains? I didn't grow up soaked in a jar, so I looked so inexplicable."
Shi Jun smiled, touched by her words.
"Sorry, I'm narrow-minded."
In order to prove that although she was spoiled, she never became spoiled, Mingmei talked about her college trip to the southwest mountainous area.
"When I was in college, one summer vacation, I went to the southwest mountainous area with Sinan and a few classmates and lived in the local town for more than a month. The environment there was really bad. But I liked it very much, because although the environment there was poor, the people in the town were simple and simple. A few of us students, like a young man, were passionate and fearless, helped local fellow villagers open an online store to sell agricultural products. Although it was very tiring, I was very happy. Now thinking about it, that experience was a very memorable time for me."
When she talked about this experience, the spirit in her expression was so moving.
Shi Jun looked at her with a bright look. "This is indeed something you can do." He whispered.
Mingmei didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Shi Jun stretched out his expression and smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just told you that we've arrived at the place."
Mingmei looked in the direction he pointed and saw an ordinary small restaurant. The restaurant did not even have a neon billboard, and only had a sign at the door, which read: Shuhe Tu Restaurant.
The store was not big, so there were only six tables in total. Mingmei and the others entered the store and found that there were only two tables for the guests. They chose a seat near the corner to sit down.
The proprietress came over with the menu and when she saw Shi Jun, she immediately laughed enthusiastically.
"I watched the TV series you acted in two days ago, and I was telling my old man that this young man is popular now and may not come to our small shop for dinner in the future. As a result, I didn't say this for two days, and I didn't expect you to come today!"
The boss lady turned her gaze to Mingmei and said curiously: "Is this a girlfriend?"
Shi Jun looked up at Mingmei and smiled and said, "It's my lover."
The boss’s wife is not calm now: "You are all married? Congratulations!" She said this, but she was wondering in her heart. What the news said before was clearly a girlfriend, but she remembered it wrong?
The scene was bright and the scene was so beautiful that I could only lower my head and pretend to look at my phone. I was really not good at dealing with such a scene.
Shi Jun still responded freely to the boss’s congratulations: "Thank you."
He handed the menu to Mingmei and said, "See if you want to eat."
Mingmei refused: "I don't care about the price. If you have experience, you should order it."
Shi Jun did not insist anymore, and skillfully checked a few dishes on the menu, and then handed them back to the boss's wife.
The boss lady collected the menu and went to the kitchen. Before leaving, she did not forget to explain: "I just made the tea on the table, so you can drink it first."
Shi Jun poured Mingmei a cup of tea, Mingmei breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take it.
"Thank you." She looked towards the kitchen and lowered her voice, "I'm so afraid of dealing with this simple and unobstructed enthusiasm."
Shi Jun smiled and said, "I can see it."
The two of them were drinking tea and as they drank, the topic stopped, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward again.
Mingmei is the kind of person who is afraid of embarrassment, so she took the initiative to raise the topic again.
"There is something I remember to tell you, it's about Shixia."
Shi Jun thought it was his sister who made a mistake in the company, and his eyes paused: "What's the matter?"
As a result, what Mingmei said next was completely beyond his expectations.
Chapter completed!
