"What do you need to prepare?" Li Jianbo asked Li Wei after the meal.

"There's nothing to prepare, I've brought everything." Li Wei's mentality was very relaxed, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.

"Well, why don't we take a walk around."

Although it is a city, the city in the 1990s was still very dilapidated. Glass curtain walls only gradually appeared in the mid-1990s. The city during this period always had a gray feel. Red brick walls can be seen everywhere, mixed with the occasional few white house. The number of layers is not high either.

In this era, real estate has not yet emerged, and various real estate tycoons have not yet appeared in a big way. Urban planning is also incomplete. Usually one is built here and one there. Within a few years, it was demolished and rebuilt again, and the roads were dug and repaired, and repaired and dug again.

When passing a simple cake shop, Li Jianbo suddenly turned around and asked Li Wei: "Do you want a piece?"

"What to eat?"

"Cake, it's a rare trip to the city, you should try something new." Li Jianbo thought to himself, don't all girls like sweets

He took Li Wei into the store, and the fragrant aroma of the freshly baked cakes swayed people's taste buds.

Li Wei looked carefully at the dumplings, which were long, square, small, or round, with different shapes? She has never seen it before. Does this taste delicious? Li Wei used to be the Queen Mother and had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world, but not many foods could impress her.

Li Jianbo originally wanted to ask Li Wei if she wanted a cream cake, but thinking that Li Wei had never eaten it, he didn't ask her again and bought one on his own initiative and asked her to wrap it up.

Then Li Jianbo took Li Wei to visit the bookstore again, and he bought two information books. Li Wei was wandering around the history shelf area. She wanted to find the long-unsolved mystery in the history books. Unfortunately, she searched through all the history books on the shelf and couldn't find a single word about Gong Bian.

On the way back to his residence, Li Wei looked a little disappointed.

"Do you like history?"

"No, I'm just looking for an answer but I can't find it. I'm inevitably a little disappointed."

"Can I help you?"

After hearing this, Li Wei stared at Li Jianbo blankly for a while. This was her secret and she didn't want anyone else to know, not even her most respected second brother.

"No need, actually it's not a big deal." Li Wei flipped over the page lightly. She didn’t want to bring things about that time and space to this time and space again.

When they passed a vegetable market, Li Jianbo took the initiative and bought a watermelon, and then the brother and sister returned to their residence.

After two or three hours of shopping, Li Wei was sweating and very tired. She sat on the soft sofa and didn't want to get up.

There was no kitchen knife, so Li Jianbo bought a spoon. Fortunately, the watermelon had a small opening before he bought it, so he could scoop it up and eat it with a spoon.

"Come on, you can eat first." Li Jianbo loved his sister very much, so he naturally left the good ones to his sister first.

Li Wei took a bite first without hesitation. It was refreshing, sweet and very delicious. She smiled and said to Li Jianbo, "This melon is so sweet. Second brother, you can come and eat it too." Li Wei took advantage of the situation and scooped a spoonful of it and fed it to it.

It doesn't seem good to have one spoonful for you and one spoonful for me, so Li Jianbo said, "You eat first, and we'll watch TV for a while."

Li Jianbo pondered and turned on the TV, but the picture that came to him was full of snowflakes. Li Wei looked at the TV without blinking. Last time he saw a person who looked like Zhao Qian on the TV. Will that person appear again? If it was really him, she would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.

Li Wei was eating watermelon, and Li Jianbo was tuning in to TV programs.

Finally found a channel to watch.

"Second brother, when will we also have a TV at home?"

Li Jianbo smiled and said: "That depends on the efforts of the eldest brother."

A variety show is playing on the TV. There are not many variety shows in this era. For example, what they are watching now is CCTV's "Zhengda Variety Show". This is when the show is booming.

"How is this show done?" Li Wei was full of curiosity about everything.

Li Jianbo replied: "It was recorded and broadcast by the TV station."

Li Wei stared at the female host, but saw that the female host had long hair shawl, bright eyes and white teeth, and her whole body was full of bookishness, which made people's eyes brighten. Li Wei secretly thought that it would be nice to be such a woman.

At this time, Zhengda Variety Show still focused on travel programs. Li Wei lamented that as the show said, "You don't know until you see it, the world is really wonderful." The show really opened her eyes.

As the music ended, the one-hour program passed quickly, followed by the Main Theater, where a foreign film was shown.

Li Wei looked carefully at the blond and blue-eyed foreigners on the TV. She remembered that she had seen patterns of foreigners on tribute goods from foreign countries. She had a box of rouge with a child with curly yellow hair painted on it, and she still remembers that child with a pair of white wings. Therefore, she has always been aware of foreigners and is not very curious about them.

After eating the watermelon, Li Jianbo took out the cake and ate it. Li Wei fell in love with the soft and sweet texture when he took the first bite. No matter how talented the imperial chef in the imperial dining room is, he cannot make such exquisite and delicious pastries. She has a sweet tooth. In the blink of an eye, half of the cake was gone.

"I boiled the water, do you want to take a bath?"

"Ah, okay, thank you." Li Wei felt the smell of sweat all over his body and wanted to take a quick shower.

Li Wei took a change of clothes and went into the toilet. Li Jianbo slumped on the sofa and watched TV seriously.

When Li Wei came out of the shower, she found that Li Jianbo had tuned in to other TV programs, which were football matches that she was not interested in.

After Li Jianbo left, she took the remote control and tried to adjust it herself. Finally, she found a station that played a similar movie to the last one on Ji's video tape. It had the same ancient costume theme and the same martial arts movie. In fact, she didn't like such a story of fighting and killing. She just dreamed of watching it again from TV. I saw the figure from last time and wanted to make sure if it was Zhao Qian.

When Li Jianbo came out of the shower, he saw Li Wei lying on the sofa and already asleep. He stepped forward and planned to wake Li Wei up. Maybe it was because she had been tired for a long time after riding for a long time and shopping in the street for an afternoon, so she fell into a deep sleep.

He looked at Li Wei's sleeping face and slowly squatted down. A strand of hair stuck to Li Wei's face. He reached out and gently brushed it away for her. This sister seems to have changed a lot. No matter what, he will never leave himself any regrets in this life. He bent down and carried Li Wei to the bed inside, and covered her with a towel. He went back to the living room and planned to spend the night on the sofa.

When he slept until midnight, the mosquitoes buzzed, making Li Jianbo unable to sleep peacefully. Because it was too hot to sleep on the sofa, he turned on the TV and turned the sound down to the minimum.

Double updates today and tomorrow. The other is a long story, conservatively estimated to be over a million words, so it is slow to catch on in the early stages, and there are few top-notch stories in the story, so it is a warm and heartwarming story. If you think it suits your taste, please put it on your bookshelf. If you read it on a computer, please give it five stars in the evaluation column. Thank you!
