Twenty years old.

After formulating the schedule for the Chinese New Year, Lin Weidong and Liu Limin and a group of four people left the magic capital and returned to Guangdong.

When I arrived at the Wuzhou Bus Station in Mei'an City, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening.

After a tiring day, Liu Limin and Chen Liling were a little tired, so after a simple dinner, they went back to the hotel to rest.

Wang Taoxin is in good spirits, and wants to ask Lin Weidong to go shopping on the street, and go to the Meihe River by the way to see the long-lost night view of Meicheng.

However, Lin Weidong told him: "What is there to visit, what Meicheng was like five years ago, and what it will be like five years later, nothing has changed." ”

Wang Taoxin said with a disappointed face: "Weidong, no matter what, Meicheng is the place where our dream begins. ”

"This time we are back to our hometown, don't you have a certain feeling of reminiscing about youth?"

Lin Weidong denied with a smile: "No, you better go to bed early, and you have to get up early tomorrow to take the car." ”

Seeing that Lin Weidong had made up his mind, Wang Taoxin didn't do much reluctance, but sighed helplessly: "Alas, okay, then I'll go back to the room, and you can rest early." ”

"Okay, I went to sleep right after taking a shower. ”

Not long after Wang Taoxin left, Lin Weidong immediately put on his shoes and jacket, took a lighter and cigarettes, and left the hotel room.

However, Lin Weidong went out this time, not to have a tryst with Liu Limin, nor to have a Spring Festival with Chen Liling, but to go to the Red Ant Internet Cafe.

After more than two years, nearly three years, when he came to the Red Ant Internet Cafe again, Lin Weidong's state of mind was obviously a little expectant and apprehensive.

After entering the Red Ant Internet Cafe, Lin Weidong didn't see Xie Zhigang or Li Xiaojuan, only saw a strange young man sitting at the cash register.

Lin Weidong looked around, the business of the Internet café is not bad, the layout and decoration of the first floor have not changed much, the biggest change should be the residence on the second floor, I don't know when, it has been changed to a computer area.

With doubts, Lin Weidong lit a cigarette, came out of the Red Ant Internet Cafe, and then stood at the door of the Internet café and dialed Xie Zhigang's phone.

After calling Xie Zhigang for a while, Lin Weidong learned that Xie Zhigang's family had moved out of the Internet café two years ago and moved into a new house.

Knowing that Lin Weidong was coming, Xie Zhigang also said that he was very welcome, and he was in a very happy mood.

You must know that when he bought this house, Lin Weidong couldn't help a lot.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhigang immediately called his wife Li Xiaojuan to go to the kitchen to stir-fry.

Li Xiaojuan was sitting in the living room, watching TV with her hands on her chest, and after hearing her husband Xie Zhigang's instructions, she replied: "If you want to eat and cook it yourself, you know how to drink all day long." ”

Seeing his reluctant wife, Xie Zhigang hurriedly explained: "You can cook as you like, Weidong is back, I want to have a few drinks with him." ”

Li Xiaojuan was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard her husband mention the words "Lin Weidong", but quickly reacted and said, "When did he come back?"

Xie Zhigang said with a straight face: "Just came back, he should be in our community immediately, I will go downstairs to pick him up now." ”

After listening to her husband's words, Li Xiaojuan let out a slow "oh", and then pretended to be calm and said: "Then you can ignore it, I'll take a look at our refrigerator, what dishes are there to cook." ”

After her husband Xie Zhigang went out, Li Xiaojuan did not go to the kitchen, but went directly back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Li Xiaojuan sat in front of the dresser, staring into the mirror, she didn't know when the fine lines grew out of the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the years are really unforgiving, especially for women.

However, when Li Xiaojuan recalled what Lin Weidong had said to her, it was so sincere, she was no longer entangled, but carefully wiped her lipstick, her expression could not hide her joy and excitement.

After going to Shanghai for almost 3 years, Lin Weidong finally came back.

At this moment, what Li Xiaojuan was thinking of was the handsome young face in her mind, the hand holding the lipstick, and trembling slightly unconsciously......

Seeing her crimson cheeks in the mirror, like Xiao Biesheng's newlywed wife, who was about to welcome her husband who had returned from a long trip, Li Xiaojuan's face showed a look of shyness, expectation, and shame, and patted her hot cheeks twice before she got up and stood up.

Li Xiaojuan looked in the mirror, the graceful figure wrapped in a white loose hat, the maintenance was not bad, at least there was no fat, and she was relieved.

After calming down, Li Xiaojuan estimated that Lin Weidong and her husband Xie Zhigang were almost there, so they tied up their hair, put on an apron, and went straight to the kitchen.

When Li Xiaojuan was stir-frying in the kitchen, she heard Lin Weidong's voice from the living room, she was nervous like never before, even in the kitchen where she was rumbling, she could hear her "......pounding" heart beating wildly.

And Lin Weidong's mood is actually the same.

Although others were in the living room, they had been chatting with Xie Zhigang about family life, but his heart had already flown to the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong asked knowingly: "By the way, boss, what about my sister-in-law, what about Sisi and Junfeng?"

Xie Zhigang pointed to the kitchen and said to Lin Weidong: "Your sister-in-law is stir-frying in the kitchen, Junfeng should have slept, and Sisi is still doing homework in the room......

Lin Weidong said angrily and funny: "Sisi is too strict with himself, right? Now that he is twenty-five years old, he is still so serious?"

Xie Zhigang sighed with emotion: "There's no way, I'm in my third year of high school, and I'll take the college entrance examination in more than 100 days, can I do it if I'm not serious?"

Hearing Xie Zhi mention the college entrance examination, Lin Weidong suddenly felt like a world away, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "Time flies so fast, I remember when I just gave Sisi a make-up lesson, she was only in the first grade of junior high school, and in the blink of an eye, she was in her third year of high school." ”

As soon as the words fell, before Xie Zhigang could answer, Li Xiaojuan came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly fried beef.

The moment Lin Weidong saw Li Xiaojuan, he stood up, respectfully called "sister-in-law", and told her not to cook so many dishes.

Li Xiaojuan was also very calm, greeted Lin Weidong with a smile, and after chatting a few words, she turned around and went to the kitchen again, and came out with two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

Subsequently, Xie Zhigang took out a wine glass, and a bottle of treasured Wuliangye, and ate food with Lin Weidong, drinking and chatting.

Through a brief exchange, Lin Weidong roughly understood that Xie Zhigang's current situation, he hardly stayed up late, and now the Red Ant Internet Cafe has hired two full-time network managers, and the two of them take turns to work half-day shifts.

Xie Zhigang and Li Xiaojuan often take turns to go to Internet cafes to inspect and check accounts, but fortunately, the current Internet cafes have been equipped with a timing management system, which is twice the result with half the effort.

Although the treatment in Internet cafes is very poor, there are still many young people who would rather earn less money and work in Internet cafes because they can play games and watch movies.

And Xie Zhigang and his wife also saved some savings by relying on the Internet café, and if Xie Zhigang didn't speculate in stocks, he could save more.

And Lin Weidong also talked to Xie Zhigang about some of his own things, such as the creation of the Century Chinese Network.

As the owner of the Red Ant Internet Cafe, Xie Zhigang is not an old antique who has never seen the world, and naturally understands what kind of website Century Chinese Network is.

After serving five dishes in a row, Li Xiaojuan took off the apron she was wearing, went to the outside of her daughter Xie Sisi's room, knocked on the door, and asked softly: "Sisi, are you hungry, do you want to come out for some supper?"

Soon, Xie Sisi's impatient voice came from the room: "Mom, I said I'm not hungry, I don't eat supper, why do you have to ask every night, are you annoying?"

Li Xiaojuan also knew that she was a little nagging, but she was still worried about her daughter's body, afraid that she would face too much pressure from the college entrance examination.

"Sisi, Mom has cooked a lot of dishes, you can eat some more, you see that you have lost weight now, and there are ...... Your teacher Lin has come to our house, don't you come out to meet? Isn't it too rude?"
