When Wang Yuming talked about his experience in the past two years, Li Shixin did not interject, but just listened silently on the side.

From time to time, when Wang Yuming was emotional, he would give him a bite of food and persuade him to take a sip of wine.

Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.

From the people coming and going in the small restaurant, to the silence outside the street, it was late at night.

"I'm sorry, you, we're closing, you two...... Why don't you change places?"

It wasn't until there was not a single guest in the store except for Li Shixin's table, and the boss couldn't hold back after waiting for a long time and came to clear the venue.

Seeing that the conversation between Li Shixin and the two was interrupted by the boss, Zhao Jinzhi frowned. took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his military coat, scanned the payment QR code in the store, and directly filled in a number of 1000.

Seeing Zhao Jinzhi's movements, Li Shixin stretched out his hand to stop him.

He smiled at the boss, "I'm sorry young man, our old friends haven't seen each other for too long, and it's delaying you to close the door." In this way, your plastic bag, give me a bag, and bring me two bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and we'll take them away. ”

"Okay. The boss answered lazily and went back to the counter to get ready to go.

Seeing that it was late at night, Wang Yuming patted his forehead, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said apologetically: "Lao Li, you still have something to do tomorrow, right? ”

"Tsk!" Li Shixin raised his face, "What are you talking about?! Delay me to hear this word again, and you will fuck me off! It's all because Li Shixin has never known you!"

Seeing Wang Yuming scratching the back of his head and smiling silently, Li Shixin lifted the marching backpack he put behind the stool and waved his hand: "Come to me tonight, let's continue chatting." ”

After that, let An Xiaoxiao, who was already sleepy, hold the packed meals and wine, and pull Wang Yuming up without saying anything.

The small restaurant is not far from Li Shixin's B&B, across the street.

Because of the Linxia Cultural Festival, the homestay is full. Li Shixin originally planned to let Wang Yuming go to his room to spend the night, and then arrange a place for him to live tomorrow.

didn't think about it, when he arrived at the door of the homestay, Wang Yuming said that he wouldn't go in.

"Lao Li, I'll just spread a layer of plastic sheeting outside and live in a sleeping bag. ”

"How can this work?" Li Shixin glared, "It's a few degrees below zero outside, if you come to me, I can still let you sleep outside?" You're going to lay in my house, okay?"

"No," Wang Yuming drank a lot of wine tonight, and his steps were a little vain, but his stubbornness did not dissipate at all, "Lao Li, you don't know, I'm not afraid of bothering you." I'll make a bunk at this door, and if there is a wanderer at night, I can open my eyes and see if it's Baoxia. ”

"Besides, Shixin. I don't know where your sister-in-law is now, what kind of environment she is in. If I were to lie in bed...... As soon as I close my eyes, I can think that she might be starving and freezing in the streets, and I ......"

“......”

Seeing Wang Yuming's two lines of old tears rolling down, Li Shixin pulled Wang Yuming's hand for a moment, and then gave up.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you outside. He looked at Zhao Jinzhi who was standing at the door, "Xiao Zhao, ...... you"

Seeing that Li Shixin wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Jinzhi smiled, took off the military coat on his body, and handed it over: "Okay, I'll go and take out the cover for you." You wear a coat, and it's cool at night. ”

Looking at Zhao Jinzhi, who was wearing an evening dress in the winter, crossed her arms and took An Xiaoxiao into the homestay, Li Shixin grinned.

At night.

Zhao Jinzhi and An Xiaoxiao made do in one room.

After washing up and going to bed, it was already more than one o'clock.

An Xiaoxiao, who was so sleepy that she yawned, wrapped around Zhao Jinzhi like a little octopus, and complained when she heard the sound of crying and laughing outside the window.

"Teacher Zhao, what do you say Teacher Li talked about with Grandpa Wang, where did they get so much talk?"

Zhao Jinzhi, who was wearing An Xiaoxiao's small pajamas, patted An Xiaoxiao's head. Listening to a hearty laugh outside and the crunch of two wine bottles colliding, he smiled slightly.

"Silly girl, this is a man......"

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Yu got up before dawn tomorrow and put the sleeping bags and plastic sheets on the ground in a plank that absolutely conformed to the internal affairs standards of the troops.

Li Shixin opened his eyes dimly, and frowned when he saw that this old man looked like he was leaving.

"Lao Wang, why are you going?"

"Woke you up," Seeing that Li Shixin woke up, Wang Yuming scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Shixin, do you remember what I begged you yesterday?"

Last night, Wang Yuming said that he had inadvertently found Li Shixin, and that in the past two years he had searched for his wife in many unsuccessful ways, so he began to search on foot and on a carpet by himself.

It started from the hometown county and gradually spread to the ground. The larger the search range, the less efficient he becomes.

Also a few days ago, after a kind person learned about him, he gave him a trick: find those influential people, help to find them, and have a better chance of finding people.

It just so happened that Wang Yuming, who was near Linxia, heard that there were activities in Linxia, and many celebrities would come over, so he ran over from a hundred miles away.

saw Li Shixin shine at the opening ceremony of the cultural festival again, and mistakenly thought that Li Shixin was the most famous star of the day, so there was an unexpected reunion of old friends last night.

"Isn't it just for me to help you find your sister-in-law? You can rest assured, I'll help you do it in a while! But what are you going to do now?" Li Shixin grabbed Wang Yuming's hand: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you find it, you can rest at ease at the B&B for two days these days, okay?"

Wang Yuming shook his head with a smile, and pulled Li Shixin's hand away from him, "Shixin, do you think I can rest in peace?"

In Li Shixin's sigh, Wang Yuming picked up the marching backpack and put on the military coat on his body, "Shixin, I'll trouble you." But don't worry, since I'm in Linxia, I can't leave so soon. I'm going to walk around here these days and look around the neighborhood. I'll come back to you when I find your sister-in-law, or if I don't find the next place to go. Let's have another drink!"

Knowing that he couldn't keep it, Li Shixin simply got up from the ground. took out all the cash in his wallet and stuffed it into Wang Yuming's hand.

"Shixin, I have money. ”

"Take it!" pushed away Wang Yuming's torn hand, Li Shixin shouted in a deep voice: "The poor family is rich, be more careful outside." You kept my number, waiting for your call. ”

Seeing that Li Shixin was moved, Wang Yuming smiled innocently, "Okay, let's go." ”

gave a military salute to Li Shixin, and Wang Yuming turned back. Facing the direction of the morning star in the sky, strode away......

Looking at the back of his old friend, Li Shixin took out his mobile phone.

After thinking about it, he sent the photo of the wife search notice taken last night, along with his own call, to his Weibo and Doushou account.
