"Brother Qianxing?!" When Jin Meizhen suddenly found Lu Ming tiptoeing in from the back door and quietly sitting next to her, her pretty little face was full of surprise.
"Shh!" Lu Ming quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.
Although there is no teacher and it happens to be a self-study class, it is still better to keep a low profile.
Jin Meizhen stuck out her tongue.
A large bag of beef jerky was brought to Lu Ming. "Brother Qianxing, this is for you. It's delicious! I was thinking, if you don't come again, I will eat all the beef jerky I left for you if I get greedy!"
As she said this, Kim Mi-jeong giggled.
"Shengmei" brand, and a brand in my own schoolbag.
Lu Ming was stunned. "Where are you from? Are you tired of living like this? Have you come to your senses? Are you going to college to see the world?"
If it were any other poor student, these words might have hurt their self-esteem, but for Jin Meizhen, it didn't matter at all. She could just tell her whatever she thought.
"No, my sister bought them for me! She bought a lot!" When Jin Meizhen mentioned her sister, a gentle smile appeared on her little face.
Oh, Lu Ming suddenly realized.
Looking at this classmate, she is obviously much more cheerful than before. In the past, she gave people a lonely feeling. After all, she is only a girl in her teens. She looks very mature, has her own opinions on many things, and thinks very well, but deep down in her heart, how can she not yearn for family affection
Now, I have a sister to care for.
"Keep it for yourself. I eat this often." Lu Ming said, and stuffed the schoolbag into her hands. "It's all in there. I brought it for you." He unzipped the schoolbag and said, "Look."
Looking at the schoolbag full of beef jerky, Jin Meizhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped talking, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about a complicated problem.
"By the way, will your sister come to see you after class?" Lu Ming asked casually, not realizing that his actions would cause a lot of trouble to the child.
"She doesn't like to play with me." When talking about her sister, Jin Meizhen became happy again. "She thinks I'm too young and don't know anything, so she doesn't care about me. She skips classes every day and thinks I don't know. I saw it in the first class in the afternoon. Not long after she came in, she left with her friends!"
Lu Ming frowned: "Go play billiard again?"
"Ah, Brother Qianxing, how do you know my sister likes to play billiards?" Jin Meizhen looked at Lu Ming strangely, and then suddenly realized: "My sister is quite famous, it seems that all boys like her. Brother Qianxing, do you like my sister too?"
"No, I just heard about her..." Lu Ming said vaguely, and then asked, "What is she doing there? Will she come back today?"
"Well, there's a movie showing at school today, so she will definitely come back. Brother Qianxing, if you want to wait for my sister, have dinner here. In the evening, she will definitely come to the playground to watch a movie. She said she can't get enough of this movie, it's called Lost in Space, and I've wanted to watch it for a long time!" There was anticipation in Jin Meizhen's big eyes.
Lu Ming knew that Fernald College would show movies on the playground the night before the holiday.
Not only students can watch it, but nearby residents can also watch it. It can be considered a welfare for the poor who cannot afford to go to the cinema.
However, they are usually very old movies, and it doesn't cost much to rent a copy. But this time, they are going to show "Lost in Space". Although it has been released for a long time and is about to be taken off the shelves, it is still in theaters after all, so renting a copy is still expensive.
From a side view, we can also see that the influence of this movie has epoch-making significance.
Open-air movies? Lu Ming had seen one in his previous life, in a very poor village, but he found it very interesting.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming nodded, "Okay."
"Brother Qianxing, you don't have to send me anything, I will help you!" Jin Meizhen put the schoolbag full of beef jerky back into Lu Ming's desk drawer, looked at Lu Ming, and said carefully: "But, my sister seems to have a lover now, the kind who loves him to death..."
Lu Ming was helpless. "I really didn't mean that. I'm much older than your sister, and I have something to ask her. Besides, this beef jerky is for you and has nothing to do with your sister, okay? Stop imagining it."
Jin Meizhen was a little surprised, "Brother Qianxing, aren't you only nineteen years old?"
Lu Ming paused for a moment, and thought about it. In fact, the difference of seven or eight years is nothing, let alone nowadays, even in the future.
However, in his eyes, Kim Mi-yeon and Kim Mi-jeong are indeed just children and are not of the same generation at all.
"You are too young. I already have concubines!" Lu Ming laughed.
"Bullshit..." Jin Meizhen snorted.
"Boasting or not, how many questions can you understand as a little girl? Do you know what love is? You only know about premature love!" Lu Ming shook his head, looked at the clock, and said, "Okay, class is about to end. I'll treat you to dinner in the cafeteria." He paused, "Keep the beef jerky. I bought it specifically for you. It has nothing to do with anything else."
…
As the sky gradually darkened, the playground of Fernald College was outside the east wall of the campus. At this time, a snow-white curtain had been drawn on the track and field. People came to watch the movie sparsely. Most of those who brought benches were students, while most of the villagers brought small stools. Some of them did not bring anything and just sat on the ground to watch.
A white line was drawn in front of the curtain. The east side of the line was the student area, and the west side was the villagers' area.
Lu Ming sat at the back of the student area, looking around curiously, while Jin Meizhen went to the vendor to buy snacks.
Just now, I invited Jin Meizhen to have Class A meal. Class A is the best set meal in the cafeteria of Fernald College. However, it is a school cafeteria after all. In fact, there is no obvious difference between the four sets of meals, and the prices are not much different. Meal B is 8 cents, and meal A is 10 cents. The only difference between Class A dinner and Class B dinner is that there is an apple.
Jin Meizhen seemed to be worried about something and didn't say much.
Night falls and the movie is about to begin.
At the outermost edge of the crowd, there were a few vendors selling melon seeds, soda, etc.
Jin Meizhen bought two bags of melon seeds, packed in paper bags, 3 cents a bag and 5 cents for two bags, almost half a pound a bag.
Kim Mi-jeong hesitated for a long time before buying a glass bottle of orange-flavored soda for 5 cents.
Lu Ming looked around at the crowd that was carrying various small stools to watch the movie, at the vendors, at everything, and felt it was very new.
People were all in high spirits. It was obvious that both the children and the villagers were genuinely happy, as if it were a festival.
"Brother Qianxing, try the soda. Is it delicious?"
Lu Ming turned around and saw Jin Meizhen holding a slightly larger glass bottle of soda in front of him. There was a straw inside. Lu Ming took a sip and nodded: "Not bad."
At this time, the projector emitted a beam of light, and various patterns began to appear on the screen. This was to warm up the audience a few minutes before the show started, and also to tell the audience not to run around anymore, as the movie would begin soon.
Lu Ming looked around and saw that Jin Mi Yan still hadn't come, so he simply stopped thinking about it and took the melon seeds from the paper bag and started cracking them. However, he was still not used to spitting the skins out onto the ground, so he cracked a few and put them aside.
Looking at the cheerful crowd, Lu Ming's heart was also filled with a sense of happiness. Happiness is probably something that is easily contagious.
Huh? Lu Ming was suddenly startled, and saw Jin Meizhen sitting next to him, biting the straw and drinking soda carefully. There were two straws in the soda bottle, one of which was naturally his.
"Brother Qianxing, do you want to drink?" Jin Meizhen pushed the soda bottle towards him, and the curved straw reached Lu Ming's mouth.
Lu Ming didn't know what to say for a moment. Jin Meizhen waited for Lu Ming for a while, then took the soda bottle back to herself, sat quietly, and watched the screen.
The music started and the movie began.
Lu Ming wanted to say something, but when he looked at his deskmate's peaceful face, he swallowed his words back.
"Brother Qianxing, is love a sweet and sour feeling in your heart?" Jin Meizhen suddenly said.
"This, seems to be the case, right?" Lu Ming felt that if he liked someone in his heart, did he feel that kind of sour and sweet feeling? I don't know.
"When I saw the beef jerky that Brother Qianxing brought me and said it wasn't for my sister, I felt that Brother Qianxing was telling the truth, and I..."
Lu Ming coughed, "Meizhen, I gave you beef jerky. I don't mean anything else. I just think you're having a hard time, so I want to help you replenish your nutrition. Actually, I've been married for a long time. I'm just here to make up for my studies. I'm busy with work, so I don't have time to come. I'm not a servant. I'm a lawyer. My family is well off. You don't have to worry about me."
Fortunately, it was a talkie, and Kim Mi-jeong and I were sitting relatively far away, so we had to speak in low voices, so only the two of us could hear it.
Although I said this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Alas, those were the innocent days when giving some beef jerky could move a little girl's heart.
Looking sideways, Jin Meizhen has the extremely pure image of a female student in the Republic of China, wearing a blue jacket, cloth skirt, white socks and black cloth shoes. She is extremely elegant. Sitting quietly at this moment, she has the temperament of an intellectual and literary young woman, which makes people forget her age for a moment.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Qianxing!" Jin Meizhen said softly, and it seemed that her eyes quickly turned red.
"Let me take you back to the dormitory!" Lu Ming felt a little uneasy about leaving like this.
I don't know how this young girl, who is just beginning to fall in love, could fall in love with me just because I gave her some beef jerky. It's inexplicable.
But maybe, at this age, love is just unreasonable
Normally, when I came to school and looked at myself in the mirror, I felt that the image in the mirror was very dull. Moreover, the effect of the thick lenses made my eyes look very big and scary. How could I be charming at all
"Eh..." A slight exclamation came from behind.
Lu Ming turned around, frowned and stood up immediately, "What have you been doing?"
The beautiful girl in a white baseball uniform is Kim Mi-yeon.
Apparently, she didn't like wearing Fernald's school uniform.
"I, I went to learn body shape and body gymnastics..." Seeing Lu Ming's unfriendly face, Jin Mi Yan was so scared that she stuttered.
"Take care of your sister and send her back to the dormitory. I'll wait for you in the car outside. I have something to ask you!" Lu Ming nodded at Jin Meizhen, then left quickly.
Kim Mi-yeon was left confused, but she saw her sister sobbing softly.
