At the lakeside resort, we rented a minivan in the morning and took 32 people with us. For a junior high school reunion to be of this scale, it must be said that Li Dong, the squad leader, was very competent. In an era when there are still families without landline phones, he can Ensuring that so many people can be contacted is in itself a manifestation of ability.
The whole day, Cao Xiyu didn't say a word to Wei Tao, and simply didn't look at him.
Wei Tao had a lot of fun. After the bonfire party by the lake in the evening, a minibus came to pick up people. Most of the girls got on the bus and left to go home. A few girls and all the boys stayed.
Drink, chat, play mahjong, poker, and...
The feelings between boys and girls are no longer suppressed and blooming. Walking in pairs by the lake at night is not necessarily a sign of sex. It is more of a grown-up indulgence that I don’t need to keep a distance from girls (boys) anymore. It doesn’t necessarily have to be What is the actual operation? A little more ambiguity, a hug secretly, leaving an opportunity for relationship development, and then contact alone.
Wei Tao played cards with a few boys until midnight, ordered some barbecue, and drank some wine. Around one o'clock, Zhu Xichun drove to pick him up, but Liu Lei did not follow him back. There were girls participating in the drinking party, so he was very interested.
The hundreds of thousands in his bank card did not make Wei Tao happy with his current situation. On the contrary, it aroused his interest in gold mining in this era. He bought food for his mother, helped in the store for a while in the morning, and ate I didn’t sleep after breakfast, but drove to Xinglong Township.
First, he went with farmer Cai Ge to collect vegetables picked from every household's vegetable garden, and then went to Jia's house to see the status of pig farming. After signing a purchase contract, Wei Tao would come over from time to time in order to reassure everyone.
At noon, he went to the meat joint factory and took Director Yang and several middle-level leaders to a newly opened restaurant in a nearby city for dinner. He entertained them with a bottle of beer. After taking them back to the factory in the afternoon, Wei Tao left and went back. Go home to bed.
………………
"Hey, is this Wei Tao?"
The next day, Wei Tao, who had had enough sleep, found that he had no presence in the store after purchasing the goods. His mother and the Pang family took care of everything in the store easily. They ran to the second-hand mobile phone market and found the sloppy bearded Yuan Haitao whom they had met before. I changed my cell phone and was sitting at the counter chatting with him about the area code of the southwest region and the landline phone number for the incoming call.
"I am, may I ask you..."
"guess who I am?"
"Through the screen, I can still picture you with a runny nose following me and calling me Brother Tao."
"Wei Tao, you are useless and you are waiting for me to take a vacation."
"Are you okay, Old Tang?" Wei Tao's sudden seriousness made the other party silent for a few seconds: "It's good, how about you? I heard from Cao Xiyu that you are doing very well in your own business now."
"What a shitty business, from running a roadside stall to opening a small shop to earn a living, and now you..."
"I can tell you now. The first two years were all about studying, training, training, and studying. It was completely closed. I couldn't write letters. There are regulations. Now that I can write, I sent you a postal mail and didn't wait for a reply. If Cao Xiyu hadn't found my family, I have completely lost contact with you. Didn’t I tell you when I left? I was going to be a female soldier and later transferred to a special police officer. I am now a female special police officer. Wei Tao, I just want to ask you if you are afraid."
"Excellent, Old Tang. When can you come back? Brother Tao will have to rely on your protection in the future."
The person on the other side was silent again for a while: "I will go back. When the time comes, it will be me who protects you."
Wei Tao smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
"It might take a long time, though."
"It doesn't matter. Our old Tang is very good. He can beat all the game halls in 97 Fighting without any opponent. He can also be invincible when he is a special police officer. Sooner or later he will be invincible."
"Then take a look, it's for sure. Tell me your mailing address. I can't always call you. I'll write you a letter."
We chatted for more than 20 minutes, talking nonsense, full of green memories, the impression of short hair, dark skinny, being laughed at as a slug when I was in the first grade of junior high school, and being bullied by other male classmates, who could have imagined that all day long The guys following her are now special police officers. Thinking about those guys who stopped bullying her after fighting her a few times, if they knew this news now, would they not be able to sleep at night worrying that one day they would be raped? Tang Cen takes revenge?
In the third year of junior high school, ever since Wei Tao stood up for Tang Cen, she had been playing with him, skipping school together, and some went to the game arcade. She still remembers that she was not considered a girl at all at that time, and she lost contact with him for more than ten years. , Occasionally Wei Tao would think of her and miss her a bit. Unfortunately, there was no news and no one had any contact with her.
It turns out that she is going to be a female special police officer. It’s amazing. This guy has a lot of tenacity and fierceness. She has made up her mind to accomplish what she wants to do. Even if her back molars are broken, she will not hesitate at all, let alone regret. You can definitely persevere to the end.
Wei Tao was very happy to be able to get in touch with his old friends again. As a result, these happy things came one after another. Li Dong called: "Taozi, the admissions team from Qingbei is here and has contacted me."
"Didn't you say that you can only check the score at night?"
"Haha, who calls me outstanding? As soon as I said I would consider it, both admissions groups stayed in a hotel near my home."
"Don't be such a coward."
"Hahaha."
"Okay, Li Dong, Niu B, congratulations, come to me when you're fine and have a good drink."
"I almost don't mean it. I'm not the number one scholar in our province yet. I still have a long way to go."
"I just like the serious look on your face when you brag B. Do you think it's true?"
"The one who knows me is Wei Tao. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go around my grandparents' house, and my dad. This time they will be willing to bleed. Now the latest mobile phone is What's going on?"
"Okay, just take it easy."
"I'll see you in two days."
"good."
After returning home, Wei Tao packed his backpack. This time it was a cross-body sports bag, a few more sets of T-shirts and pants, and some more socks and boxers. Early in the morning, he took the airport bus to the airport, and again Fly to the land of abundance.
The classmates and friends around him were all struggling on the road of life. Wei Tao, who had been itching for a few days after returning, set out again.
………………
Cao Xiyu checked her college entrance examination scores and confirmed with the dance school in the morning. It was confirmed that she had a score close to 500 points and was easily admitted. Coupled with the second place in the professional course, it was a sure thing. Cao Haiyang and Zhou Min were very happy and spent the whole morning telling their relatives and friends the news. It's not to show off, nor is it worth showing off, but because of their position, there are too many people around them who are 'concerned' about Cao Xiyu's college entrance examination results, so they can give people a reply.
After noon, his father received the case and left, and his mother also went to school. Cao Xiyu hesitated for a long time, then picked up the home phone and dialed Wei Tao.
"The phone you dialed has been switched off."
call!
She mustered up the courage to call, but fortunately the phone was turned off. Once the connection sound came, Cao Xiyu didn't know if she would hang up the phone immediately. She didn't know what to say, and wanted to call and tell the other party. Before that night by the river, she was always confident. Don't doubt Wei Tao, he is not my type.
But that night, the premise of hugging and kissing is that when you have been obedient for eighteen years and suddenly rebel within a certain limit, you find that those around you who think they understand you don’t actually understand. On the contrary, Wei Tao, under Cao Xiyu It came when she needed someone to understand her most.
After that night, Cao Xiyu stopped asking himself similar questions in his mind. Whenever he thought about how you felt about Wei Tao, he would quickly shake his head and get rid of the whole thought, deliberately isolating it and not thinking about it.
I lie to myself and keep lying. I don't want to open it up, but I can't help but want to contact him. I will feel that I will be very relaxed when I am with him.
Time flew by so fast that Cao Xiyu didn't realize it. After putting down the phone, she sat on the sofa, holding her curled legs and resting her chin on her knees. She stayed in a daze for more than two hours without knowing it. What are you thinking about? Your thoughts are flying around.
The phone rang, startling her. Looking at the caller ID on the landline, she didn't realize it. The corner of her mouth raised and she picked up the phone as quickly as possible.
"Hello."
"I just found out from Li Dong. Congratulations to the future great dancer."
"Thank you. Why is it so noisy over there..."
"Ah, I'm in the Land of Abundance. I just got off the plane. I'll go back in a few days. I won't tell you anymore. The car is here."
When a busy signal came from the phone, Cao Xiyu was stunned for a moment, put down the phone, and suddenly there was a touch of girlish sadness in the corner of his eyes and eyebrows.
