Pan Zhi's book bar is almost done, and now it's just cleaning, moving all kinds of bookshelves, tables and chairs, and some decorations inside.
The bookshelves are not placed in the usual way, they are placed horizontally and vertically. There are cushions and bean bags in front of the bookshelves. Every corner of the bookcase is striving to not interfere with each other, and there is a relatively independent space, but there is no Completely blocked, after all, when there is no audience, you will be lost.
Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei stood at the door of the book bar with Pan Zhi, watching the workers remove the bookshelves from the carriage, and then began to move the decorations.
A lot of abstract bronze sculpture works, this style looks like the work of Boss Xiao at first glance.
"Did you give me any money?" Jiang Cheng asked Pan Zhi, "The last time I went to see her studio, there was something in it, and it cost several thousand to pick up a slap-sized toy."
"Then you also ask, these are dozens of slaps," Pan Zhi said, "Can I afford the money?"
"On credit?" Jiang Cheng said.
"I'm talking about consignment sales," Pan Zhi said. "If anyone wants it, sell it, and if no one wants it, leave it here."
"It's really shameful..." Jiang Cheng said.
"It's quite embarrassing, and there are even more embarrassing ones," Pan Zhi looked at Gu Fei, "Remember to bring me a few pounds of beef jerky, the expensive one recommended by Li Yan."
"Is ten pounds enough?" Gu Fei looked at him.
"It's hard for me to say. The exact weight depends on our friendship. You can figure it out." Pan Zhi said.
"Break up." Gu Fei said.
"Look, our friendship was just defeated by beef jerky," Pan Zhi sighed. "When are you going back? I went back for my birthday. It would be nice for us to have a meal together."
"Eat when you come back. You can eat it every day." Gu Fei said.
"Didn't we break up our friendship?" Pan Zhi said immediately.
"Oh yes." Gu Fei clicked his tongue, walked away and stood three steps away from Pan Zhi.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to speak, Pan Zhi's eyes suddenly fixed on behind him. He didn't have to look back to know that Boss Xiao was behind him.
Boss Xiao has a very domineering name called Xiao Pan, but since they met, they called him Boss Xiao, and they have never changed it. Even Pan Zhi has been chasing him for more than a year, and his name is still Boss Xiao. .
"Boss Xiao is up?" Pan Zhi greeted.
"Well," Xiao Pan nodded to a few of them, and looked into the store from the window, "This taste."
"Is it okay?" Pan Zhi said.
"Don't ask this kind of question all the time. It's easy to get yourself off the stage," Xiao Pan said. "Are you done? Come and sit at my place?"
"Let's go back to the steel mill today," Jiang Cheng said, "we have to go back to clean up later."
"Oh, yes, you said, you really want to drive that second-hand broken car?" Xiao Pan said, "I don't need my car for a few days, so why don't you drive my car back?"
"No, it's not too far," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "It's no problem to run back and forth."
"Okay, let me know if you want to use the car anyway," Xiao Pan said. "You don't have to use it anyway, and Pan Zhi has to use it too. His face is quite big."
"I use your car for a reason," Pan Zhi said. "Seeing a car is like seeing a person."
"Am I that ugly?" Xiao Pan said.
"To be honest," Pan Zhi said, "among the girls I've chased, you are really the ugliest."
"It's really hard for you." Xiao Pan sneered.
"It's not hard," Pan Zhi said, "it hurts and is happy."
"Let's have coffee later," Xiao Pan said, and waved to Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei again, "We'll meet again when we come back."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled.
After staying at Pan Zhi's place for a long time, Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei left. Because Xiao Pan invited Pan Zhi to chat, Pan Zhi couldn't wait a second.
"Let's use this car," Gu Fei started their "second-hand little broken car" and said with a smile while reversing, "Actually, the sound of the engine is not bad."
"Well," Jiang Cheng nodded, "If you hadn't rubbed the car and didn't repair it, it looks pretty good on the exterior."
"It's too lazy to do it with a small scratch," Gu Fei said, "Anyway, you have to buy a good car by then."
"Me?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.
"Yeah," Gu Fei said, "Foreign company Jinling, you..."
"Do you think," Jiang Cheng laughed, "Will I buy a car if I have one?"
"No," Gu Fei sighed, "I don't think you want to buy a bicycle."
"Well, this car is going to run like this anyway, let's talk about it when the wheels fall off and can't be put back on," Jiang Cheng adjusted the back of the passenger seat back, "Actually, I really liked this feeling before. "
"Does it feel like I'm driving you?" Gu Fei asked.
"Well," Jiang Cheng tilted his head, "I have enjoyed the steamed buns since I was a kid. In a space, just the two of us, it doesn't matter whether it's cold or hot when it's windy or rainy outside."
"I like it too," Gu Fei said, "but it doesn't conflict with changing to a better car, right?"
"It's in conflict with our money," Jiang Cheng said with joy after thinking about it, "The good car you're talking about is compared to the current car, right?"
"En." Gu Fei was also happy.
The car they are driving now was picked by a professional Liu Fan. It is less than 80,000 yuan, and the comprehensive conditions are quite good at the same price.
"The good car you're talking about doesn't exceed 200,000, right?" Jiang Cheng asked while enjoying himself.
"Otherwise," Gu Fei smiled, "Actually, I'm pretty stingy too."
"That's ok, we can consider changing to a car of no more than 200,000 next year." Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly.
"Good car." Gu Fei added.
In the past few years, their birthdays have all been based on Jiang Cheng's days. Because they are too close, having two birthdays a month is a bit too complicated.
In the past, it was eating and drinking, and gifts were sometimes given and sometimes not.
Probably because Jiang Cheng graduated this year, so Gu Fei wanted to live a more formal life.
"Do you want to bring anything?" Jiang Cheng asked, "For your mother and Liu Li."
"No, just give me a red envelope," Gu Fei said, "I can't figure out what they think about buying things. I bought that brooch for my mother last time, and I kept it on the bedside and never used it. Asked why she didn't use it, she said she didn't have clothes to match."
"Can't you use shawls, woolen jackets, etc.?" Jiang Cheng said.
"So I don't know what she's thinking," Gu Fei said. "Buy Liu Li a razor. He said that his beard is so hard that he can't shave it with an electric motor. It will save trouble for the red envelope."
"That's fine," Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, looking at Gu Miao, "Er Miao, do you pack your luggage yourself?"
Gu Miao nodded.
"Then..." Jiang Cheng just wanted to say you should go and pack it up, but Gu Miao had already turned around and took out a large bag from her own room, and threw it at his feet with a bang.
"Okay." Gu Miao said.
"Just... two days." Jiang Cheng looked at this bag, it was a circle bigger than the one he and Gu Fei had together.
Gu Miao didn't speak, and kicked the bag to his leg again.
"Okay, there is a car anyway." Jiang Cheng got up and picked up the bag. He was dead, not knowing what was inside.
Gu Miao is a big girl now, and it is impossible for the two of them to look through Gu Miao's things. Anyway, she is willing to carry a lot of things, just the bag she usually carries when she goes out. Like a bag of bricks.
After eating breakfast in the morning, they threw their luggage into the car and set off.
The back seat is Gu Miao's site, holding the meat, buttoning the earphones, looking out the window, as if he can watch for an hour without moving.
Now Rou Rou is an adult big fat cat, much more stable than when he was a child, and he doesn't want to move too much when he is fat, so one person and one cat in the back seat are as quiet as no one else.
"Do you listen to the radio?" Gu Fei asked.
"Listen," Jiang Cheng turned on the radio, "I'll do some work."
"I got motion sickness for a while." Gu Fei said.
"I never get dizzy in your car," Jiang Cheng took out his notebook from his bag, opened it, and put his legs on the dashboard, "I would faint in Pan Zhi's car. The way he drives, he always feels like the police are coming to investigate drunk driving."
"You haven't taken my long-distance bus before." Gu Fei said.
"... Then should I take a good look at it?" Jiang Cheng said.
"Yeah, put away your work." Gu Fei said.
"It's due next week," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "I'd better experience it while I work."
Gu Fei lowered the voice of the broadcast a little and glanced at Gu Miao who was seated in the back seat.
The sound of this car is very poor, and listening to music has a sense of age, not to mention the sound quality when listening to the radio, but this sound is remembered at this time, but it gives people a more "on the road" feeling.
Driving a second-hand old car, with a boyfriend, sister and a cat, speeding on the road.
Listening to the sizzling radio, feeling the car's shock absorber that doesn't exist... Imperfections even make people feel that a journey that is a little hard will always give people a sense of storytelling that they are dependent on each other and wandering around the world.
Of course, although he thinks this is also very good, he still wants to buy a good car that does not exceed 200,000.
Not long after the car got on the expressway, probably less than an hour later, Jiang Cheng, who was in the co-pilot rushing to work, stopped moving. Gu Fei glanced over there and found that he was already asleep with his laptop in his arms.
Gu Fei sighed softly, it should be because he didn't sleep well last night, last night Jiang Cheng didn't go to bed until after two o'clock, and he woke up a little early again today.
In fact, he knew that Jiang Cheng didn't feel how hard he was working. From the college entrance examination to undergraduate to graduate school, he was almost always working at this pace, and he never relaxed about his studies and part-time jobs.
It is said that this kind of life is normal, but he still feels distressed.
He is also very busy himself. The studio assistant has a lot of various jobs. He has to learn things along with him, and he also has to take pictures by himself, which is also a variety of tasks, but he does not feel sorry for himself.
He just felt sorry for Jiang Cheng.
When Gu Fei stopped by the rest area, Jiang Cheng woke up with a groan: "Arrived?"
"Really optimistic." Gu Fei said.
Jiang Cheng glanced out the car window, saw the sign in the rest area, and laughed: "I thought I slept for a long time."
"Er Miao go to the toilet?" Gu Fei turned around and asked Gu Miao.
Gu Miao stuffed the meat into the cat bag and got out of the car.
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei put his arms on the back of the chair and looked at Gu Miao who was walking towards the toilet, "Look."
"Big girl," Jiang Cheng turned to look at Gu Miao, sighing, and after a while, he clicked again, "Look at those men."
"Pretty big girl, it's normal for someone to stare at her," Gu Fei said, "Brother Cheng, if someone chases her again, you can't chase after her and beat her."
"I didn't hit anyone," Jiang Cheng smiled, "I just… scolded a few words."
"We have to get used to it. That's it," Gu Fei said. "She's okay now. She can distinguish between other people's favor and... fuck."
A few young men who had been staring at Gu Miao by the car over there whistled at Gu Miao a few times.
Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng didn't speak, they turned their heads and got out of the car.
When Gu Fei went around the front of the car, Jiang Cheng had already rushed over there with big strides. He hurriedly ran two steps and grabbed Jiang Cheng: "Don't worry."
"I'll smoke them." Jiang Cheng looked unhappy.
"First... I want to see how Gu Miao handles it." Gu Fei said.
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said nothing. He turned around and went over to open the door again. He took out a cross wrench for unloading a wheel and put it next to the passenger, leaning against the door and staring at that.
Gu Miao was still quite small, but she was already a beautiful big girl. Every time Jiang Cheng saw her, she would be a little worried, and she would be bullied if she couldn't keep up with her appearance.
Gu Fei said he wanted to see how she handled it, and he also wanted to see. After all, they couldn't always follow Gu Miao, she would encounter all kinds of things.
For example, in the current situation, most girls ignore it. If there are more excessive actions, they may walk away or scold others, but for Gu Miao, in most cases, the whistle does not mean malice, she is fine by herself. I like to whistle.
However, after those few people whistled, she didn't respond, and without squinting her hands, she strode forward and walked into the toilet.
"It's okay." Gu Fei stepped back and leaned against the door with Jiang Cheng.
"I don't think those few are good things," Jiang Cheng said. "They're just hooligans, not even at the level of a steel mill."
Gu Fei smiled and clicked his tongue twice.
"Don't tsk," Jiang Cheng smiled, "The few of you didn't look like good people back then."
"I'm wrong." Gu Fei said.
"It can only be said that in the beginning, I didn't see the essence through the appearance," Jiang Cheng took a cup in his hand and took a sip. "Your essence is still very handsome."
Gu Miao probably washed her face when she came out of the toilet. Her face washing has always been savage, but this time, she splashed water all over her face, and her hair was wet into locks of clumps.
"I just washed my head." Jiang Cheng sighed.
"Go to the toilet?" Gu Fei asked.
"En." Jiang Cheng saw that there was nothing wrong with Gu Miao, and closed the car door.
When they were about to go to the toilet, the group of people said a few words to Gu Miao, but couldn't understand what it was. Gu Miao stopped and turned to look at them.
A few men smiled and said something, walked over to her, and looked over here, but Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei were standing behind the tree and trash can, they probably didn't see it .
"This can't be done, let's get over it." Jiang Cheng said, the chance of encountering such a thing at the rest stop is too small, everyone is very tired, busy eating and going to the toilet, there are still people who are in the mood to tease Little girl, just amazing.
"En." Gu Fei nodded.
Just as they were about to take a step, they saw Gu Miao wave his arms.
"Hey!" Gu Fei shouted and ran over there.
Gu Miao slammed a fist on a man's chin, causing the man to jerk back.
"Why are you still doing it!" Jiang Cheng was also startled, and quickly followed.
The man was obviously very shocked and annoyed, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Miao's face.
Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei were still a few meters away, and it was impossible for him to arrive before the slap no matter what, and he felt his fire rush to the top of his head.
But Gu Miao's reaction speed was a bit astonishing. She raised her arm to block the slap, and at the same time, she leaned forward and punched the man.
Chin again.
"Er Miao!" Gu Fei pulled Gu Miao behind him, stared at the few people, and said calmly, "What's the matter."
"What's the matter? Ask us?" The man looked angry, "I still want to ask her what the hell!"
"Er Miao," Jiang Cheng put his arm around Gu Miao's shoulder and pulled her aside, "Why beat someone?"
"Stupid." Gu Miao's face was cold.
"Are they stupid?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I'm stupid." Gu Miao frowned.
"They said you were stupid?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
Gu Miao nodded.
"Say hello and ask for contact information," the man twitched his lips. "She glared at us and didn't say anything. She just asked if she was stupid, so fuck it!"
"What's your phone number?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.
The man was silent for a while.
"Are you a fucking idiot?" Gu Fei asked immediately.
"Fuck!" The man squinted and rushed forward.
"Come on." Gu Fei tilted his head, and there was a "click" in his neck.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but glance at him, when did this person pick up this skill
But this "click", and Gu Fei's kind of bandit anger that will probably never be wiped out in this life, plus it is a place like a rest stop, those few people grabbed this guy who was about to rush forward.
"Forget it, I think there's something wrong with that girl," said one person.
"What did you say?" Gu Fei said coldly.
A few people didn't say anything, they turned around and walked towards their car, Gu Fei suddenly shouted, "I asked you what the hell!"
Those few people were stunned for a moment, then they suddenly opened the door and got into the car as if they were driving at three times the speed. Before Gu Fei could speak again, the car drove away with a swoosh.
When Gu Fei turned his head to look at Gu Miao, she suddenly laughed and stopped after laughing for a long time.
"You go back to the car first," Gu Fei said. "My brother will talk to you later."
"What are we talking about?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Have you taught her to hit someone?" Gu Fei looked at him, "So a standard right hook? You know how to use your back strength?"
This question is more worrying than Gu Miao being whistled outside for a phone call.
The two of them hurriedly went to the toilet and ran back to the car.
"Who taught you?" Gu Fei asked.
"Little five." Gu Miao said.
"Xiao Wu?" Gu Fei was stunned, glanced at Jiang Cheng, then turned to look at Gu Miao, "Which Xiao Wu?"
"My friend." Gu Miao said.
"Why didn't I know that you have a friend named Xiao Wu?" Gu Fei asked.
Gu Miao yawned, took out the meat from the cat bag and hugged it, closing her eyes.
Gu Fei had no choice but to take out his cell phone and called the friend at the skateboarding club where Gu Miao was staying: "You have a little five? No? Gu Miao said, little five... Then who is she playing with recently? Does anyone know how to fight? Wu? He calls me, I have something to ask him."
"Who?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"The last name is Wu," Gu Fei said while dialing, "they are from the Bet Club next to them."
"Bo attack?" Jiang Cheng was a little shocked.
"There are several boxing gyms in the building of their club," Gu Fei said. "It's just next door to them."
"Hands-free." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei pressed the speakerphone.
After a few rings over there, someone answered the phone: "Hello."
His voice was very gentle and polite, and he couldn't get in touch with Bo Jie at all. Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng looked at each other, "Is that Xiao Wu?"
"I'm Wu Yi," the other side replied, "Who are you?"
"May Day?" Gu Fei was stunned.
Jiang Cheng was also stunned for a moment, the name was very simple, and he wondered if the nickname was labor.
"Yes." Wu Yi said.
"My name is Gu Fei, I'm Gu Miao's brother." Gu Fei said.
"Gu Miao's brother?" This time it was Wu Yi's turn to be stunned, and after a while, he said, "Hello."
"You..." Gu Fei felt that he was a little anxious to make this call, and now he didn't know what to say.
"Gu Miao had a fight with someone just now," Jiang Cheng took the phone, "No, to be precise, she beat someone."
"Ah?" Wu Yi was stunned again, and after a while he asked, "Are you... Brother Cheng?"
"No expensive..." Jiang Cheng cleared his throat, "Yes."
When he was still pondering that this person actually knew Brother Cheng, Wu Yi added: "Gu Miao can say Brother Cheng eighty times a day."
"Oh." Jiang Cheng suddenly felt very proud and satisfied, and glanced at Gu Fei, Gu Fei couldn't hold back a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"She hit someone?" Wu Yi asked.
"Yes," Jiang Cheng said, "two punches, fast, accurate, and ruthless, you can also block."
"The actual combat effect is not bad." Wu Yi said.
Jiang Cheng almost followed him and said, "Yes, the effect is very good," and immediately remembered the reason for making the call, and then stopped: "It's not about the effect, Xiao Wu, she's beating someone now, and it's not lethal. Little, we mean, did you teach her?"
"Well, for an hour a day, she learns very quickly and has a first-class athletic talent," Wu Yi paused after speaking, "What do you mean... do you want me to stop teaching her?"
"Yes." Gu Fei said.
Wu Yi didn't speak, and after a while he spoke again: "Brother, that's what I think, practicing Bo Qi is fitness, and she is also interested, so there is no need to change anything from here, tell her to use the training results correctly. It should be done, she is different from ordinary little girls, it takes time to understand this, I have always reminded her, just give her some time and guidance."
After Wu Yi finished speaking, Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei were stunned for a while. The speed and tone of their speech made them think of someone at the same time.
"What do you do?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I'm a third-year student." Wu Yi said.
"Which school?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Big B." Wu Yi replied.
"Which major?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask.
"Psychology." Wu Yi said.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei stared at each other face to face for a long time.
"I actually ran into a psychology student?" Gu Fei said.
"Psychology students actually went to practice Bo Qi?" Jiang Cheng said.
"Er Miao," Gu Fei turned to look at Gu Miao, "This little Wu..."
Gu Miao opened his eyes and looked at him, Gu Fei suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Are you handsome?" Jiang Cheng added.
"I didn't mean to ask this." Gu Fei whispered.
"I want to ask." Jiang Cheng also whispered.
Gu Miao looked at the two of them and didn't speak. Gu Miao never discussed who was handsome and who was good-looking. She ranked after her appearance in many things, so she probably didn't know how to answer this question.
"He looks good, or does Brother Cheng look good?" Gu Fei asked.
"Brother Cheng." Gu Miao answered quickly this time.
Jiang Cheng didn't know why he felt relieved.
"Childish." Gu Fei said with a smile.
"It's just so naive," Jiang Cheng pulled on his seatbelt and fastened it, "Let's drive, this person guesses... It's okay, let's go back and make an appointment to chat."
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei started the car, "you... you shouldn't be able to beat him."
"When I face someone I can't beat, I usually don't do anything, I use my brain." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei laughed for a long time.
"Don't laugh," Jiang Cheng said, "Are you trying to say that my brain was almost useless just now?"
"No," Gu Fei said with a smile, "Before I can speak, my brain is not enough."
"Mainly," Jiang Cheng tutted, "It's too sudden."
The car continued to drive forward, probably because the previous incident was refreshing, Jiang Cheng was no longer drowsy, and continued to hurry up with his notebook in his arms.
The scenery on the roadside became familiar little by little, the kind of distant familiarity revealed in the strangeness.
After getting off the highway, looking at the license plate on the road, this familiarity spreads around me little by little.
Jiang Cheng closed the notebook and stretched out: "I'm here."
Although Gu Miao has adapted to the new life and way of life, when she returns to the place where she grew up, she will still be very excited, lying on the window and tapping her fingers lightly on the glass.
Gu Fei drove to the store first. Now Gu Fei's mother calls it the old store, and the small supermarket opened by Liu Lixin is called the new store.
"Er Miao!" I saw my mother standing at the door of the store waving and jumping from afar.
Gu Fei responded by pressing the horn.
"Mom." Gu Miao patted the car window.
Gu Fei lowered the rear window, she stretched out her arm and waved.
The car stopped, Gu Miao jumped out of the car with the cat in her arms, and her mother ran over and hugged her: "Oh, I haven't seen each other for a few months, my daughter has become beautiful again! Even the flesh has become beautiful! "
"Where's Liu Li?" Gu Fei asked.
"Where's the new store, the goods will be delivered in the afternoon, and he will come over in a while," said the mother, "please clean up first and eat here in the evening?"
"En." Gu Fei nodded.
"Auntie has lost weight." Jiang Cheng said.
"I see?" Mom was a little surprised. "I'm losing weight. It still seems to have some effect?"
"The effect is quite obvious." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"Er Miao is right here," Gu Fei said, "Let's put our luggage, take a shower, and come over later."
"Okay, Er Miao, let's go," Mom put her arms around Gu Miao, "Go and see the new clothes I bought for you, I brought them from the store..."
Returning to the small rental house that he had been renting, Jiang Cheng collapsed on the sofa, closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
"Is there any ash?" Gu Fei asked, leaning over him and kissing his eyes.
"No," Jiang Cheng said, "Li Yan is really a good buddy. He'll be there at the end of the month, and I really have to play with him well enough."
"Take a shower first," Gu Fei said. "You sleep for a while, and the dark circles under your eyes will come out. I'll go out later, and Li Yan will take the beef jerky to the store."
"En," Jiang Cheng nodded, "You should take a shower before you go."
"Does it smell like sweat?" Gu Fei smiled.
"Whenever I smell you, it's Gu Fei's taste," Jiang Cheng said, "others won't be sure."
"Then I'll wash first." Gu Fei patted his face.
Jiang Cheng was lying on the sofa, and when Gu Fei came out of the shower, he felt that he had already started to dream.
He got up and took a shower, then went back to the house and went to sleep.
This bed in the bedroom hadn’t been slept in for a long time, and when Jiang Cheng lay on it, he felt as if he had penetrated into his memory.
There were two familiar water stains on the ceiling, both in the same shape as before, and next to them was a small piece of old wire with black tape wrapped around the end.
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, these were the things he would see before going to bed every day, he had never noticed them, but he would remember them.
Many details exist like this without being aware of them, and one day they will suddenly pop up and bring back memories.
This night, he slept until Gu Fei called him before dinner.
"Damn it," Jiang Cheng jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom to wash his face, "Why didn't you call me earlier? What a shame, I didn't get up until the meal was ready."
"It's not the person I met on the first day, so why pay attention to this," Gu Fei said, "My mother knows that you must have stayed up late."
"Have you given the red envelope?" Jiang Cheng asked while raising his pants.
"Give it." Gu Fei said.
"Well," Jiang Cheng took out the phone, "Let's go, I suddenly realized that I'm hungry."
In fact, just like what Gu Fei said, although Jiang Cheng really didn’t spend much time with Gu Fei’s mother and Liu Li, after so many years, he was indeed very familiar with them.
After entering the store to say hello, go to the backyard to wash your hands, and then sit at the table with dishes and bowls, which is very natural.
Sometimes, Jiang Cheng would feel a little dazed, Gu Fei and Gu Miao were his family, and these two people who had been immersed in love should also be considered family.
Not familiar with each other, but they are relaxed when they get along, and occasionally feel kind.
"It's another year older," Liu Li said, "it's almost middle age."
"Can you talk, you!" Gu Fei's mother shouted, "How old is my son, what should I do when my son is middle-aged!"
"You've always been young." Liu Li said.
"Do you know that you are middle-aged now at the age of sixty!" Gu Fei's mother said.
"...Sixty?" Liu Li was stunned and looked at her.
"Yeah sixty, next year will be eighty!" she said.
"You have the final say." Liu Li nodded.
"I'm too lazy to care about you," Gu Fei's mother turned her head, "Did you two spend the New Year there, or are you coming back here?"
"I haven't thought about it, let's see the situation." Gu Fei said.
"If you don't come back, we'll go there, just want to take your mother on a tour, and then go to the surrounding area for two days." Liu Li said.
"Alright," Gu Fei said, "you should go out and play."
"Jiang Cheng," Gu Fei's mother looked at Jiang Cheng, "You...Would you like to...that is, do you want to go back there, it's your original home, take a look?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a while, and after a while he shook his head: "No."
"Have you never gone back?" Gu Fei's mother asked.
"En." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"They want to see you doing this," she sighed, "and they should see it!"
"It doesn't make any sense to see it," Jiang Cheng said while nibbling on the ribs, "I know if I'm doing well or not. I don't care what other people think or think."
"This is called domineering, atmosphere... so you say." Liu Li said.
"You know a lot." Gu Fei's mother gave him a sideways glance.
After eating and chatting for a while, it was already dark, Gu Fei stood up and kicked Jiang Cheng’s shoes: “Go for a walk, Brother Cheng.”
"En." Jiang Cheng followed and stood up.
The two walked out of the store together.
The summer nights in the steel mill are quite cool, and as soon as the sun goes down, the wind blows on me and I feel very comfortable.
"Where?" he asked.
Gu Fei asked him to go back to the steel mill for his birthday, and it would definitely not be as simple as just having a meal and chatting with the family.
Call him out for a walk now, and certainly not just for a walk.
"Follow me." Gu Fei smiled.
It had been many years, and he hadn't walked with Gu Fei like this. Both of them were very busy. Gu Fei often had to run outside. When he went out, he sometimes didn't see anyone for a week.
In the evening, it is usually just chatting for a while and then starting to work on their own.
Now walking in the cool breeze of summer nights, following those paths that I would have passed on a walk many years ago, will make people feel like a kind of enjoyment.
Gu Fei took him around for a few laps and then turned onto a small dirt road.
Jiang Cheng smiled when he saw it: "Are you going to the kindergarten?"
"Well," Gu Fei glanced at him, "Why don't you get lost? In theory, shouldn't you have no memory of this road?"
"I can't remember it before my birthday, and I won't forget it after that," Jiang Cheng stretched, "Did you put the gift there?"
"Well," Gu Fei sighed, "you guessed it, you don't need to say it, can you have a romantic cell?"
"No," Jiang Cheng clapped his hands, "I know that this is a special birthday, and I didn't prepare a gift... I really don't know what to give."
Gu Fei smiled and leaned over to kiss him: "The gift you gave me will never be used up in this lifetime."
After walking forward for a while, Gu Fei went around behind him, put one arm around his waist, and covered his eyes with the other: "I'll take you forward."
"What's ahead?" When Gu Fei's hand covered his eyes, Jiang Cheng suddenly became a little nervous and excited.
"You'll see it in a while," Gu Fei led him slowly forward, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Cheng."
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng responded.
"Happy birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei said, "I hope you will always be so happy."
"En." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"Happy birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei continued to whisper softly, "I hope you will always smile like a beam of sunshine, you are my sunshine."
Jiang Cheng smiled and did not speak.
"Happy birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei kissed him on the ear, "I used to hope that you had no regrets when you remembered those days in the steel mill, but now I hope that one day, when you are old, look back , I have no regrets in my whole life with me."
"Happy birthday Gu Fei," Jiang Cheng said softly with a smile, "Follow the light."
Gu Fei stopped and removed the hand covering his eyes.
Jiang Cheng opened his eyes.
A colorful light spot on the ground, an infinity symbol extending forward from under their feet.
Jiang Cheng stared at these familiar fluorescent-colored bricks, and a little ghost slowly appeared in his sight.
He blinked, but the ghosting got heavier.
He had to raise his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes.
"Where did the bricks come from?" he asked in a nasal voice.
"It's the old ones," Gu Fei hugged him. "The next day I went to take it back and kept it in my cabinet, but the color was repainted, and the old color has faded a lot."
"Are you crazy?" Jiang Cheng couldn't hold back his tears in surprise, so he could only reach out and wipe it again.
Gu Fei smiled and didn't speak. He went over to squat down and gently knocked down the first brick.
The colored light spots stretched forward from point to line, just like in the past, and lit up a colorful painting at night.
The author has something to say: Well, all the extras are over.
Thank you very much for being with me for the past six months, I love you all. The author who finally stood up rubbed his knees and said with a smile.
No one's life will be perfect all the time, but no matter what, look ahead, hope will be invincible.
