afternoon.
On the highway.
The sun was getting smaller, and the sky was changing at every turn. It was gradually covered by a dark cloud, making the air a little refreshing and not so hot.
"Teacher Jiang, are you hungry?"
"OK. How about you?"
"Look, my skin is fine."
"Haha, let's get ready to eat. Next service area?"
"What delicious food can be found in the service area?"
"Just eat a little bit, whatever tastes good or bad."
"How many days do you plan to return?"
"I originally wanted to have some fun and take a look along the way, but if you follow the teacher, the teacher is too embarrassed to let you be my driver all the way. Let's just drive to the capital."
"Hey, as promised, I'm not in a hurry. In fact, I've just been busy for half a year and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I just want to have some free time and have some fun. I'll be with you as my companion. Uh, if you don't want to go with me? I kept saying it all the way, if it doesn’t work, I’ll leave the car for you, will you drive it?”
"What are you talking about? You are accompanying the teacher. It's too late for the teacher to be happy. It's a bit inconvenient for me as a woman to take the bus every day."
"Is this over?"
"Okay, then there's no rush to go back."
"That's right. Let's go to a restaurant."
"The county in front seems to be quite famous for roasted lamb legs."
"Okay, let's get off the expressway in front of you. Sit tight, please."
"Drive a little slower, don't go so fast, or you'll be in danger again."
"Okay, I will follow Teacher Jiang's instructions, haha."
"You, the older you get, the poorer your mouth becomes. I don't know what such a beautiful little daughter-in-law wants in you, so she is willing to marry you."
"Haha, my lover is so beautiful, isn't he?"
"That's not true. I have never seen such a beautiful girl in the many years of students and teachers we have at the Lianda University. You are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are."
"I know my blessings."
"Bring it to the teacher for next time."
"Okay, when she gives birth, we will hold our son and watch you."
"The teacher is waiting."
…
small town.
Surrounded by mountains, the lush green atmosphere makes you feel good.
In a small farmyard, many tourists seem to come here because of its reputation. It seems that the roasted leg of lamb here is really famous. Q7, BMW X5, many good cars are parked outside the farmhouse restaurant.
Dong Xuebin and Teacher Jiang walked in together and sat down at a small outdoor table. They asked for the menu. Dong Xuebin ordered a lot of dishes, four or five cold dishes, and a roast leg of lamb. , Teacher Jiang said that he could not afford to waste food, but Dong Xuebin did not listen. He was also very happy to see Enshi, and he must show it. Finally unable to persuade him, Teacher Jiang also showed a helpless look.
"Let's eat quickly."
"What's wrong, Teacher Jiang?"
"It's cloudy and it might rain."
"That's okay. If not, just find a hotel and stay in the town."
"Well, that's okay, the environment here is good, and you can walk around for a while."
"It's decided, then we won't leave today. Eat slowly. Hey, the leg of lamb is here. Don't worry about it. Don't do anything. I'll give you the meat."
"Teacher, do it yourself."
"Don't, you can't deprive me of the opportunity to perform."
Dong Xuebin was very enthusiastic. After shaving some pieces of mutton for Teacher Jiang and putting them on her plate, he poured her a glass of cold juice and gave her a napkin.
Jiang Min smiled and said: "Teacher has skills."
"Isn't this how I express my feelings?" After finishing speaking, Dong Xuebin raised his cup and stood up, touching one with Teacher Jiang solemnly. "Teacher, I can't drink while driving, so I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." Thank you for your help during those years in college. Thank you for your education. Without your criticism and guidance, there would be no Dong Xuebin today. I will do it!
"It's all your own hard work, cheers."
"The roasted leg of lamb here is pretty good. I'll get you some more slices."
Dong Xuebin skillfully picked up the meat-stewing tool and started tinkering with it. The phone rang, and it was his mother Luan Xiaoping calling, "My mother."
Jiang Min smiled and said, "Take it."
Dong Xuebin picked it up and said, "Hey, Mom."
Luan Xiaoping asked with concern: "Are you on the road? Where are you driving?"
"Haha, I don't know where this is. I'm eating." Dong Xuebin said.
"Stop running around and playing around on the way. Come back quickly. Mom misses you." Luan Xiaoping said.
"I miss you too. By the way, guess who I met on the road? You definitely can't guess, haha, I met Teacher Jiang Min and Jiang, and I was having dinner with Teacher Jiang." Dong Xuebin said.
Luan Xiaoping exclaimed, "Teacher Jiang from your university?"
"Yes, she happened to be returning to the capital, this time for tourism." Dong Xuebin glanced at Jiang Min, and Jiang Min also smiled at him.
Luan Xiaoping immediately said: "Hey, let Teacher Jiang listen to the phone quickly. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Okay." Dong Xuebin handed over the phone, "My mother wants to talk to you."
"Okay." Jiang Min put the phone to her ear with a smile, "Hello, Mother Dong? Hello, hello... Of course I remember you... Yes, it's a coincidence that I met Xuebin... I'm still teaching at Lianda University, with The new generation of children... Haha, I'm fine, and you're in good health too... That's fine... Well... Yes, I'm going to ask Xue Bin to send it back to me. This kid is quite sensible, and I'm too embarrassed to bother him. He was very worried about me because he was afraid that something would happen if I took a ride back alone... Yes, when I grew up, I was not as talkative as when I was in school..." Luan Xiaoping and Jiang Min have met several times, but Teacher Jiang has met her. Too many parents may not remember Luan Xiaoping, but they still chatted politely for a long time, and the topic always revolved around Dong Xuebin.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Min smiled and gave him the phone, "I didn't hang up."
Dong Xuebin took it over and said, "Mom, is there anything else?"
"You are where you are today thanks to Teacher Jiang's help. Don't be in a hurry to come back and show Teacher Jiang a good time."
"Absolutely."
"Be safe along the way."
"You're kidding me, aren't you? You don't have to worry about safety. The gangsters have to hide away when they see me. They will probably be scared away as soon as I tell my name."
"This is not Fenzhou City, who knows you."
"Okay Mom, we are eating, we will talk about it later."
"Don't forget to buy some more things for you, Teacher Jiang."
"Oh, I still don't understand this. I understand, I've done everything for you these days." After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin raised his head and smiled bitterly: "My mother keeps asking me to accompany you."
Jiang Min said: "Your mother is too polite."
"Yes. When my family was in trouble, several poor students and I often went to your dormitory to eat. My mother also remembered it."
"It's a small matter, don't mention it."
"It's a small thing for you, but not for us. Come on, let me toast you again."
…
After meal.
It's past seven o'clock.
Seeing that the sky was not completely dark yet, Dong Xuebin stopped driving and walked around this small town with beautiful customs and customs with Teacher Jiang. He was not idle from beginning to end, giving Teacher Jiang a hand with Holding her bag and holding an umbrella for her in one hand, she went in to buy some places where things were sold, such as prayer beads, small bells, juice, and ice cream. Anyway, she was waiting for them all the time.
Later, when we were in front of a street stall, the boss smiled and said, "Sister, your son is so filial."
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Min were both amused. Teacher Jiang slapped Dong Xuebin on the back of the head and said, "Look, people have misunderstood. Stop being so polite."
"That won't work. Let's go, Teacher Jiang. Look ahead, there seems to be a lake."
"Oh, the scenery here is really nice. I really want to live here for a while after I retire."
"Yes, the air is good and the environment is good, with mountains and water. I like this kind of place too. Well, how about staying here for a few more days before leaving?"
"That's not necessary. Let's go to the next place tomorrow. There are many good places behind. You can't pick sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. Take a look at them all."
"Okay."
"Are you tired? Give it to the teacher for a while."
"It's okay, I'll hold it. The weight is nothing."
While chatting, the two of them also walked to the lakeside. The lake was not big but very clear.
The sun has set and the sky has turned dark, but there are plenty of lights beside the lake. There are also some tourists enjoying the shade in the pavilion. The lake surface reflecting the smooth moonlight is very beautiful.
"Sit?"
"Sit down for a while."
"Huh, it's quite cool when the breeze blows."
"Yeah, it's almost autumn."
Just as he was about to pass, there was a roar and thunder in the sky.
Then, the raindrops fell, but they were not heavy.
"Okay, let's do it as soon as we say it, without any preparation." Dong Xuebin quickly took out the parasol he had just put away, quickly opened the cage and placed it on Teacher Jiang's head, "What do you mean? Hide?"
Jiang Min quickly said: "Go to the pavilion to take shelter."
"Okay, maybe it won't last long." Dong Xuebin quickly ran with her into the pavilion.
But no one stayed in the pavilion. Some locals hurriedly went home with umbrellas, and some tourists went out, got in their cars, and left.
So pure.
Just the two of them.
Put away your umbrella and sit by the lake on a rainy night. It has a unique flavor and the scenery is great.
Dong Xuebin wiped the rain on his forehead and glanced sideways at Teacher Jiang. Although Jiang Min was held under an umbrella, she still inevitably got a lot of raindrops on her body while running. All she could see was the white shirt on her top. The shirt is a bit out of place. There are several patches on the extremely huge chest that are wet. The shirt is half transparent, and the flesh color of the bra pressed under the material of the shirt also pops out. Fortunately, it is not obvious. It was dark, so it was hard to see clearly unless you looked carefully. Teacher Jiang wiped the rainwater on his clothes and hair with a napkin and didn't pay much attention. The only one who cared was Dong Xuebin, who couldn't help but take a few more furtive glances.
Rainy night.
lake.
Pavilion.
Beauty.
What a beautiful picture.
Dong Xuebin leaned on the chair and squinted his eyes. Seeing that the rain showed no signs of stopping, he simply relaxed and chatted with Teacher Jiang.
