Blackening starts from the golden years

A few months later.

Wang Manni's 30th birthday is a few days away, and Yuan Xudong accompanied her back to her hometown of Quzhou, Zhejiang to celebrate her birthday.

Quzhou, Zhejiang.

Back in her hometown town, Wang Manni led Yuan Xudong home. She was dressed very fashionably and trendy. She looked like a city beauty, and the tall and handsome young man beside her immediately attracted her attention along the way. Town residents take note.

"Manni is back."

"Well, I'm back. Hello Aunt Zhang."

"Manni, you are back."

"I'm back, hello Uncle Zhang, hello Uncle Li, long time no see."

"Manni is back."

"Back, back."

"Manni, you haven't been back for two years. Are you still leaving if you come back this time?"

"Stay at home for a few days before leaving."

"Manni, long time no see, is this your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, long time no see."

"Sister Manni, you are back."

"You're back, Xiaohui, why are you getting more and more beautiful?"

"How can I not, Sister Manni, you are getting more and more beautiful. You are worthy of coming back from a big city."

……

Greeting people she knew along the way, Wang Manni led Yuan Xudong into a long alley about two meters wide.

Soon, they came to a small courtyard door made of black bricks. The courtyard door and walls were old, giving people a sense of vicissitudes of time. This should have been built in the 1980s and 1990s. , Yuan Xudong saw it when he was a child, and now that he sees it again, he feels a sense of regret and emotion that the past has passed.

"Okay, come back later and come over to eat."

"Okay, you can do it with a knife."

"of course."

"Meat is expensive now."

The door of the small courtyard was open, and the chatter and laughter of several people could be heard from the courtyard, as well as the dull sound of a kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board.

Yuan Xudong carried Wang Manni's suitcase with one hand and walked up the stone steps in front of the courtyard. Wang Manni walked in front of him. She crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard, shouting happily:
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

A middle-aged man was pushing an old-fashioned bicycle out of the courtyard. He saw Wang Manni and said with a smile:

"Manni is back."

"Well, hello, Uncle Sun."

"Nini!"

"Nini is back!"

"Nini, why are you back?"

"Oh, why didn't you say hello to your parents when you came back?"

Wang Manni's parents ran from the yard to the door. They looked around Wang Manni up and down, smiling happily.

The middle-aged man whom Wang Manni called Uncle Sun pushed his bicycle and left the yard. There were several middle-aged women in the yard. They looked at Wang Manni who came back and said:

"Manni, are you staying here longer this time?"

"Manni, you haven't been back for two years. Your parents miss you so much."

"Manni, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Hello Aunt Zhang, hello Aunt Sun, hello Aunt Wang."

Wang Manni said hello with a smile. There are also alleys in this yard, where several families live, and Wang Manni's family is just one of them.

After the joy of meeting her daughter for the first time, Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Manni and said angrily:

"Why are you willing to come back?"

Wang Manni has been working in Magic City for two years without coming back. Of course Wang's mother is angry. God knows how much she misses her.

"Mom, what's your expression? This is my home, so I can't come back?"

Wang Manni said with a smile. After saying that, she pulled Yuan Xudong over, looked at her parents and introduced them with a smile:
"My boyfriend Yuan Xudong, Xudong, these are my parents."

"Hello, parents."

Yuan Xudong shouted sweetly. Seeing that he looks dignified, just like the rich young masters played on TV, Father Wang and Mother Wang are very satisfied.

They were still worrying about Wang Manni's lifelong events. They wanted to find a suitable blind date for her and get married as soon as possible and start a family. Unexpectedly, she found a boyfriend on her own.

They had seen photos of Yuan Xudong, and originally thought he had a good look, but they didn't expect that he was even prettier in real life than in the photos. For such a good-looking and rich young man, their daughter had made a lot of money.

Moreover, the young man has such a sweet mouth, he is really a good son-in-law.

"Come on, give me your suitcase and you can go inside and sit down."

"Thanks dad."

Yuan Xudong handed the suitcase to Wang Manni's father. The suitcase contained a change of clothes for him and Wang Manni, as well as a home gift for her parents.

"Such a big suitcase, Nini, how many days do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Mother Wang looked at Wang Manni's suitcase and asked. Of course she hoped that Wang Manni could stay at home for a longer time, but she knew her daughter very well and knew that she didn't want to stay in this small town. What she liked was like A first-tier city like Shanghai is prosperous and lively.

"I'll leave after my birthday is over."

Wang Manni replied. She pulled Yuan Xudong into the main room. Wang's mother followed her and frowned unsatisfactorily:

"Isn't that just three days?"

"It's two days."

Wang Manni laughed and said:

"I'm leaving on the third day. I'm going to take a cruise with Xudong to Europe."

"Going to Europe?"

Mother Wang rolled her eyes and cursed:
"You're a heartless girl. You haven't even been home for two years. Now that you've finally come back, you're going to leave after two days?"

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Wang Manni said coquettishly to her mother. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help rolling her eyes.

At this time, Yuan Xudong looked at Wang Manni beside him and smiled:

"Manni, how about we not take the cruise to Europe this time and just stay at home with our parents?"

"No, you promised me."

The arm holding Yuan Xudong in her arms was shaking gently, and Wang Manni muttered in an aggrieved voice:

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"But parents..."

Before Yuan Xudong could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said:

"We're fine. You and Nini can take that cruise to travel to Europe. I'm just having fun with her."

"That's right, it's good for you to travel to Europe together, don't worry about us."

Father Wang also said.

……

At noon, after dinner, Wang Manni took Yuan Xudong out for a walk, while her parents stayed at home.

Wearing the jade bracelet given by Yuan Xudong on her wrist, Mother Wang looked at Father Wang and smiled:
"Do you think it looks good on me?"

"Good-looking, good-looking."

Father Wang looked back and smiled. He put all the other gifts brought by Yuan Xudong into the cabinet, and then said:
"Our precious daughter's thirtieth birthday is in two days. How big do you think we want to host it?"

Mother Wang thought for a while and said:
"Invite all the neighbors here, and we'll make it a bigger one."

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangement."

Father Wang nodded and smiled:
"Let's hold a flowing banquet to celebrate our precious daughter and warm her heart."

"Hey, this is good."

……

On the other side, Wang Manni and Yuan Xudong were walking in the alley, greeting people they met along the way.

"Manni is back."

"Well, I'm back. Hello Aunt Wang."

"Hey, Manni is back. She's getting more and more beautiful."

"Hello Aunt Li, thank you, thank you."

"Manni, is this your boyfriend?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"The young man is so handsome."

"thanks, thanks."

"Sister Manni, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'll take my boyfriend for a walk and buy a cup of coffee."

"I'll take you to the coffee shop."

"No, thank you."

"It's okay. You don't have to be so polite to me. You're not familiar with this area. I'll take you to a coffee shop." "Thank you then."

"You're welcome."

……

coffee shop.

The young girl who led the way declined Wang Manni's invitation and left directly on a small electric donkey.

Yuan Xudong and Wang Manni walked into the coffee shop, found a seat by the window, and ordered two lattes.

When the waiter brought two cups of coffee, Wang Manni took a sip and frowned slightly. She called the waitress in the store and asked:
"Waiter, is this latte I'm drinking?"

"This is a latte."

The waitress looked at Wang Manni in confusion. Looking up at the waitress, Wang Manni smiled and said:

"Is this instant coffee?"

"How is that possible? Our store now sells hand-ground coffee."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Wang Manni smiled.

"You're welcome."

Looking at Wang Manni who was dressed fashionably, the waitress handed her a leaflet and said with a smile:

"Miss, do you want your nails done?"

"what does it mean?"

Now it was Wang Manni's turn to be a little confused. She looked up at the waitress, who smiled and explained:
"This is a special service of our store. Customers can have a manicure while drinking coffee."

Hearing this, Wang Manni asked with a smile:

"Aren't all those hot pot restaurants like this?"

"Uh……"

The waitress' expression froze, but she was quite smart, and she immediately explained:

"But we are very professional in doing manicures. When our boss only sold coffee at the beginning, he lost money every day. Later, he started doing manicures. We are now the most popular coffee shop. Do you want to try it?"

"I don't need it, thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome."

The waitress left Yuan Xudong and Wang Manni's table with a little regret. After watching her leave, Wang Manni looked at Yuan Xudong sitting opposite and asked with a smile:

"Hey, Xudong, tell me, are they a coffee shop or a nail salon?"

"Does it make any difference?"

Looking at Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I think this is good. Isn't it just to make money when we open the door to do business?"

"You're right."

Wang Manni smiled. Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He drank the cup of latte coffee in his hand and looked at Wang Manni sitting opposite. She only took a sip of the cup of latte coffee on the table and stopped drinking.

Yuan Xudong smiled, what a woman.

……

In the evening, after dinner, Mrs. Wang was playing Xiaoxiao Le on her mobile phone. Wang Manni was watching her play and said with a smile:
"Mom, can you still play this?"

"Well, I'm really good at this, you don't even know, right?"

Mother Wang smiled happily. Wang Manni leaned on her shoulder and sat on the sofa in the living room and said with a smile:

"Play with me for a while."

"No, I have to rely on my own strength to pass the level."

"Stingy, I'm going back to my room."

"Go ahead and go to bed early tonight."

"Ah."

Wang Manni hummed softly. She got up from the sofa and pulled Yuan Xudong, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, to her room. She blushed and said shyly:
"Come on, I'll show you my room."

"Oh."

Yuan Xudong responded and followed Wang Manni obediently. Father Wang wanted to say something, but Mother Wang immediately glared at him. After Wang Manni left with Yuan Xudong, Mother Wang finally said:
"I advise you to mind your own business."

"Here……"

Looking at his wife, Father Wang said speechlessly:

"Why am I nosy? My daughter..."

"Okay, okay, there are only two rooms in the house, so if he doesn't sleep in the same room with his daughter, how can he sleep in the same room with you?"

"Isn't it okay to arrange it this way?"

"I said Lao Wang, do you still want to hold your grandson soon?"

"I...you..."

"Just tell me whether you want to do this or not."

"think."

"Just think about it, why are you so closed-minded?"

"I……"

……

Wang Manni's room is far away from her parents' room. The rooms in her house are not connected together, unlike a whole set of commercial houses in the city, but one here and one there, separate.

The alley outside is the corridor, the door is a wooden door, and the lock on the door is an early brass lock. Wang Manni opened the door and pulled Yuan Xudong into her boudoir.

In Wang Manni's boudoir.

The room was relatively small, with a lot of stuff, and it looked crowded. However, the room was very clean, and it was obviously cleaned frequently. The most conspicuous thing was that there were many posters of past male stars posted in the room.

"Please find a place to sit."

Wang Manni smiled. As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Xudong took her directly into his arms. Looking into her eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:

"There are so many posters of male celebrities in the room. How horny are you?"

"What's wrong, are you jealous?"

Wang Manni looked into Yuan Xudong's eyes and smiled.

"Well, I'm a little jealous."

Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Why didn't I meet you when you just turned eighteen?"

"Why did you just turn eighteen?"

"because……"

Looking into Wang Manni's eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"...It is against the law to be under the age of 18."

Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Wang Manni said coquettishly:

"Rogue, do you think you have always been so shameless?"

"No, I always want to be embarrassed."

Yuan Xudong smiled and said, he hugged Wang Manni and fell on her bed, pressing her under him.

"Xudong, no~~"

……

Late at night, Wang Manni's aunt passed by her window. Seeing that the light in her room was still on, she reached out and knocked on the window glass and asked in a low voice:
"Manni, are you asleep? If not, I will cook a pot of noodles and bring you a bowl?"

"No, I've already gone to bed. Thank you, aunt."

Wang Manni replied in the room. After saying that, the lights in her room went out and her aunt left on her own.

……

In Wang Manni's boudoir, in the darkness, two figures overlapped and entangled with each other.

"Xudong~~Yeah~~"

"Squeak~~Squeak~~"

……

At dawn the next day, Yuan Xudong and Wang Manni got up early, cleaned the room, washed their faces and brushed their teeth in the yard.

"Manni, you got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'm used to it, aunt. Good morning."

"morning."

Yuan Xudong also said hello to Wang Manni's aunt. Looking at Yuan Xudong and then at Wang Manni, her aunt suddenly smiled and walked away.

Wang Manni was a little shy, and she glared at Yuan Xudong fiercely. Yuan Xudong blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face.

What did he do?

Why was she staring at him?

Soon, the day passed. Father Wang and Mother Wang prepared a lot of dishes, and the surrounding neighbors also came to help, preparing to hold a 30th birthday party for Wang Manni. Yuan Xudong felt that it was exaggerated. This lively scene was definitely not A birthday celebration for the elderly?

On the third day after returning, Wang Manni's thirtieth birthday came, and a lively running banquet was held. Everyone who came to eat gave Wang Manni a red envelope, which was considered a gift. Otherwise, After this running-water banquet was held, Father Wang and Mother Wang were probably very distressed.
