After sending away the last table of guests, they were busy cleaning. Wipe the tables, mop the floor, and clear the accounts. By the time I finished all this, it was already half past eleven in the evening.
Li Jianping locked the door, rode a motorcycle, and drove Li Wei home.
The next day, Li Wei slept until ten o'clock in the morning and didn't wake up. Li Wei was yawning when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver and asked lazily: "Who is it?"
On the other end of the phone was Chen Yating's voice.
"Are you back? I called your home three times, but you were not there every time. Are you free today?"
Li Wei thought for a while and said, "I should be free before five o'clock. Anything?"
"I want to take you shopping with me. I'll come to your house later."
After Li Wei hung up the phone, he hurriedly washed up, ate a steamed bun, and drank a bowl of soy milk. When Chen Yating came over, she had already finished cleaning up.
The two went out together, and Chen Yating said, "I want to buy a pair of sneakers, and you stay with me."
Li smiled and said yes. Along the way, Chen Yating enthusiastically told Li Wei some interesting things she had encountered during the New Year. Chen Yating then asked Li Wei how much New Year's money he had received.
Li Wei doesn't have much money now, so he has to be careful about how to use every sum. It's inconvenient to do anything without free money.
The two of them talked all the way and entered a sports shoe store. Chen Yating took a fancy to two models and tried them on her feet. She thought they were pretty good, but the money she had on her made them unsuitable. If her mother knew she She spent a hundred yuan on a pair of sneakers and had to scold her again.
Then I visited a few more stores and finally bought a pair of suitable shoes. Then Chen Yating invited Li Wei to play at home.
"My dad bought a new VCR. How about we rent a few cassettes and go back and watch the videos?"
Li Wei agreed as soon as he still had time in the afternoon. The two went to a video rental store. Chen Yating paid attention to the romantic idol dramas filmed in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Li Wei liked to watch horror movies, but what she was paying attention to at the moment was the row of shelves showing martial arts movies.
"Do you like watching movies like this?"
When Li Wei heard someone asking her, she quickly raised her head and saw Lin Haishu. She was a little surprised and said, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"
Lin Haishu raised the video tape in his hand and said, "I'm here to return the tape."
Lin Haishu returned the belt and got back the deposit, but he did not immediately go there to talk to Li Wei. Li Wei asked Lin Haishu who were the people who came with him yesterday. Lin Haishu said nonchalantly: "Everyone." They are some of my parents’ friends. By the way, have you finished your geography paper?”
Li Wei nodded and said, "It seems to be done."
"I'll go to your shop in the afternoon. Take it out and let me take a look. There's a question I can't figure out."
Li Wei made an appointment with him at a time, and Chen Yating was choosing a belt here without interrupting their conversation. After Lin Haishu left, Li Wei finally saw the "Ghost of the Ancient Tomb" on the shelf again. She took the box of tapes off without thinking.
After returning to Chen's house together, the two went to the living room. Chen Yating first put on a box of romantic dramas she had chosen.
The story tells a poignant love story that happened when educated youth returned to the city in the 1970s. The male and female protagonists opposite Li Wei did not have much emotional resonance. She was not from that era and could not relate to it, but she remembered her second brother's biological mother. He is also an educated youth. At that time, the second brother's biological mother probably just felt that her son was a burden that hindered her progress, so she cruelly abandoned him. This abandonment lasted for more than ten years. As a mother, the second brother's biological mother was really cruel.
But the family only knows the second brother's biological mother, but has never seen his biological father. What kind of person is his father
A male educated youth fell in love with a simple village girl, and the two kissed each other goodbye. However, the heroine was terminally ill at this moment, but the hero did not know it and promised her to take her to the city in a year or two. , promising her marriage.
The heroine's eyes are very clear and shining, and the tears in her eyes are sad to watch. The people inside were crying, and Chen Yating was crying too. After a while, there were a lot of used tissues piled in front of her.
As soon as the hero left, there was no news, and the heroine didn't wait for him to pick her up until she died. Three years later, the male protagonist finally had a successful career and got a girlfriend with his parents' efforts. It was time to talk about marriage. Only when he went to the countryside occasionally did he remember the promise he made to a girl. I have always wanted to go back and have a look.
But when he returned to the village where he had stayed, everything had changed, and all he saw was the grave of his beloved Zeng Jin.
Chen Yating's eyes were red and her nose was red. When she turned to look at Li Wei, she saw that Li Wei had a calm face and said with some surprise: "Aren't you even touched?"
Li Wei said calmly: "It's just so-so." She may have experienced too many changes in her life, and is used to seeing life and death, or maybe it's because she once served as the Queen Mother, and her heart is cold and cold. Once you are hardened, you will no longer shed tears over a story that was forced on you and tortured for the sake of torture.
Li Wei said: "Change your mood." She put the tape of "Ghost in the Tomb" into the VCR.
"Weiwei, have you and Lin Haishu kissed?"
Li Wei was startled when he heard this and looked at Chen Yating in confusion. He really didn't understand why she suddenly said such words.
"What? Why do you ask that?"
"You are always together. You have been like this since you were a freshman in high school. Aren't you a couple? Since you are a couple, it is normal for you to behave intimately between lovers."
Li Wei quickly denied: "No, no, don't make random guesses. He and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think. Not even lovers..."
"Don't you like him?"
Li Wei looked at the young apprentice next to the old Taoist priest on the TV screen. Her fists were clenched tightly. She responded to Li Wei's words: "I don't like him. He is just an ordinary friend. You think too much."
Chen Yating said "Oh", but she obviously didn't believe it.
"Yating, do you have someone you like?"
Chen Yating said very calmly: "Yes, guess who it is."
How could Li Wei guess it? She shook her head blankly, and Chen Yating said, "That's our physical education teacher."
Chen Yating's answer was beyond Li Wei's expectation. Li Wei then asked her: "How does it feel to like someone?"
"What kind of mood. Probably no matter what I do, I always think about that person's shadow. When I wake up every morning, the first thing that comes to my mind is that person. You can spot him at a glance in the crowd, all the time. Pay close attention to him, and you can immediately notice the slightest changes in him every day. He will worry about gains and losses, and become extremely sensitive... "
Li Wei had never experienced the emotions Chen Yating mentioned before. She looked at Chen Yating with some envy. Chen Yating might be what a high school girl should look like, but she had not yet integrated into it.
