Chapter 39: Planting the Flag
Descending the mountain briskly, Zhou Li's pace is wide open and closed, and there are already a few true legends of Brother Nan in his gestures.
Huaixu stood on a tree in front of him, because the weather was good, he looked up, and could see that the green mountains stretched to the horizon, and the town in the valley was a patch of white.
"Let's go down like this, let's go through that town, that town is called Mao...... What kind of town are you doing?"
"Xiaoping Town. β
"No, what did Brother Nan say before leaving?"
"Okay, I'll go back after eating. β
"What are you talking about~~"
"I contact Brother Nan?"
"What about me?"
"Let's just say that we met in the mountains. β
"Okay, don't worry, my acting skills are super good!" Huai Xu's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, he was no longer elusive, but jumped from tree to tree, jumping one after another.
"Have you eaten popping candy?"
"Hey......
All the way to the scope of the scenic spot, the trees are primitive, rare shade, and the path has become a stone step, and Zhou Li sat down on the stone steps.
I took a sip of water and took out my phoneβ
Zhou Li: Is Brother Nan here?
Li Dumao: Yes
Zhou Li: Are you still in your hometown?
Li Dumao: In/in a daze
Zhou Li: Cooking?
Li Dumao: Are you in town?
Zhou Li: Arrived in an hour.
Li Dumao: Tell me 10 minutes in advance.
Zhou Li: I also met a friend in the mountains.
Li Dumao: Male or female?
Zhou Li: Male.
Li Dumao: Okay, you are free, anyway, it's not me who pays for it, I don't have any money.
Li Dumao: Not a single point.
Zhou Li: Okay.
Got up and patted his buttocks, a little cold and slightly wet, he turned around and inserted the water bottle into his bag, and at a glance he saw Huai Xu behind him, this guy paid great attention to his chat with Brother Nan.
"Li Dumao agreed?"
"Hmm. β
"Okay! I'm waiting for you when I buy a ticket!"
With a bang, Huai Xu disappeared in front of him.
Zhou Li was speechless.
Speed up the pace, trot all the way down the mountain, the stone steps are in disrepair, some places have been broken, you have to step on the dirt floor or tree roots piled with rotten leaves, when you encounter this kind of place, Zhou Li is directly jumping over.
It's like running cool.
Forty minutes later, he had arrived in the town of Xiaoping.
Zhou Li found a cold drink shop, and Huaixu bought a cup of taro balls and roasted fairy grass, and in less than ten minutes, an electric tricycle stopped at the door of the store.
Brother Nan was wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, and saw Zhou Li at a glance, then she took off the key, pressed the lock car, and strode into the cold drink shop.
"Give me a whole glass too, lemon juice with less ice. Brother Nan sat opposite Zhou Li and Huaixu, "Yo, so handsome!"
"Let me introduce it to you, this is called Huaixu. β
"And this surname?"
"This is Li Nan, I am at the same table. β
"Brother Nan is good. β
Huai Xu looked at Brother Nan with a smile.
He and Li Dumao have actually dealt with each other a lot, and they have also worked all night together, they are both old friends and meeting for the first time, and this feeling is quite subtle combined.
Brother Nan's lemonade was brewed quickly, and after she took it, she took a sharp sip without saying a word, revealing a comfortable expression: "I haven't drunk a drink that costs money for a long time!"
"You're not far from town. β
"Is that a problem that is not far away?" Brother Nan glanced at Zhou Li, if she had money, she would come to drink every day.
"That's right. β
Ten minutes later, the three of them came to the vegetable shop.
According to Brother Nan, this is the only vegetable shop in the town, with only one storefront, and it lives on the students in the town.
They sat on folding tables and chairs on the side of the street, fortunately the shade of the tree could provide shade, but Zhou Li always wondered if something would fall from the tree.
When Brother Nan called his aunt to come to three bowls of steamed vegetables, Zhou Li learned that the steamed vegetables in this store were sold by the bowl, five yuan a bowl. For example, Yancheng is generally weighed by the catty, and meat dishes are priced at one price and vegetarian dishes are priced at one price.
Brother Nan explained to Zhou Li: "When I was in junior high school before, a bowl was only three yuan and five. β
"It's cheap. β
"It's expensive, and students can't afford it. After Brother Nan finished speaking, his eyes looked back and forth between him and Huai Xu, "How did you meet?"
"Looks are attracted to each other. Huai Xu said.
"Poof!"
If Zhou Li said this, he would definitely have been despised by Brother Nan, but Brother Nan was not familiar with Huaixu after all: "You two are indeed good-looking, let me tell you, before today, I always thought that Zhou Li was the best-looking man I had ever seen." β
Zhou Li pursed his lips, before seeing Huaixu, he also felt that Brother Nan's appearance was at the ceiling.
There is no business in the afternoon, the vegetables are served quickly, a stainless steel basin is packed in a plastic bag, I don't know if it is unhygienic, it smells very fragrant, it looks red and shiny, and it is very appetizing.
Three slices of ham sausage, two quail eggs, two lumps of crispy meat, and the rest are vegetarian dishes.
It's a good deal.
After starting to eat, Brother Nan didn't talk much, Zhou Li chatted with her for a few words, and she was only gracious, and the only thing she said in the middle was 'Auntie has another bowl'.
An hour later, Brother Nan was satisfied, and she glanced at Zhou Li: "Why have you stayed in the mountains for so long?
"Nope. β
"Met a beautiful woman and hooked your soul?"
β......β
"You guessed it. Huaixu nodded.
"Haha!" Brother Nan smiled, "Are you going back to Yancheng today, it's a little late." β
"I want to go back. β
"Think about it, Xiaoping is a separate town, there is only one spicy chicken scenic spot, there are very few cars here, I will send you to a town in front of you, less than ten kilometers, twenty minutes will pass. Brother Nan said, "That town is on a national highway, there are many cars, you go there to sit, I used to go back to my grandmother and couldn't get a car, so I took the car there." β
"Then I'm bothering you. β
"Thank you, go pay the bill!" Brother Nan said and paused, "But I'll say it first, the vegetables are the vegetables, and the taro chicken still has to be eaten, I've been so poor lately that I can't afford to eat." β
"Good. β
Zhou Li took out his mobile phone.
After paying the bill, Brother Nan was already sitting on the mountain wheel waiting for them, and she looked at Zhou Li with her legs shaking.
The rear space can seat two people, and Zhou Li and Huaixu are both thin.
"Are you alright?"
"Alright. β
"Let's go!"
Brother Nan put down the handbrake, twisted the electric door, and the small three wheels started with difficulty.
But as the speed was raised, the sound soon became clear.
The scenery is quite good all the way, the mountains on the left, the canyon on the right, the road is also very flat, Brother Nan is running at the maximum speed throughout the whole process, although the sun is blowing in the strong wind, it is comfortable, Brother Nan turns back from time to time to talk to the two.
By the time Zhou Li arrived in Yancheng, it was already dark.
When he got home, Aunt Jiang asked him a few words about how he had fun these days, whether it was hot or cold on the mountain, and how much money he spent, Zhou Li replied casually, and showed Aunt Jiang the photos he took, and then under Zhu Shuang's envious gaze, he went into the room and took his clothes out to take a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, continue looking for a job.
Didn't find it.
Go to Luo Yuhang in the evening, he should have gone yesterday.
Another day, he finally found a tutor again, the other party was a little girl in the second year of junior high school, and the tutor was still math. The little girl's family is very rich, and the people are also cute, she always loves to sell cute, she was very resistant to asking for a tutor, but when she saw Zhou Li, she didn't say anything to refuse.
Junior high school is more expensive than primary school, 20 yuan an hour, Zhou Li is very satisfied, especially the little girl's parents said that after the summer vacation, they need four tutoring sessions a week.
Huai Xu said that he was a face for sale.
One day after that, Liu Cheng called him.
said that one of his business partners was estimated to be entangled in dirty things, and when he woke up, his neck seemed to be choked, and it was difficult to breathe, and he called Zhou Li immediately after hearing about it.
After Zhou left, he helped him send his friend to the hospital to get a course of medicine and received a red envelope of 1,200.
The day quickly advanced to the 21st.
Brother Nan returned to Yancheng from his grandmother's house, and sent a message to Zhou Li on the same day, asking him to go out to eat taro chicken - it was about time for the results, Brother Nan was very excited, there were some things that she was inconvenient to share with others, thinking about it, she felt that only an equally strange person like Zhou Li could believe and understand her.
The taro chicken is very spicy, a large pot, and a few uncut whole coriander are thrown on it for decoration, if you don't eat the coriander, it is.
Served with a pot of chilled soup to relieve the heat and spiciness.
The store also gave two side dishes, a sour and spicy fungus and a plate of pumpkin shortbread.
Zhou Li asked casually: "Is grandma sick?"
"Alright. After Brother Nan finished speaking, he took a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let me tell you, you don't know how poor I have been lately, and I can't take out a penny in my pocket, but fortunately, my shared bicycle has a monthly subscription, otherwise, I have to walk over to have a meal with you." β
"So exaggerated?"
"What's more! How bad is my luck lately, and the lottery tickets I bought are not hit, which is exaggerated enough, right? Not only that, I don't have a crit when I play games for a long time, I used to play everything with crit, and in the last few days I have just changed this habit!" Brother Nan said happily, "Eating chicken fell into a box, and the mobile phone screen was broken!"
"Oh, that's hello. β
"Haha! You still understand me!" Brother Nan was spicy by the taro chicken, and hurriedly poured saliva, "It would be nice if I could go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, I just have to worry about whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University." β
"Didn't you get in?"
"Then I don't want to dwell on it. Brother Nan was so spicy that he inhaled, "Anyway, no matter what school I go to or what major I study, I won't go to work after I come out." β
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to start my own business and open a small shop. β
"What store?"
"I haven't decided what store to buy, but no matter what the store, anyway, I want the kind of store where you can earn money by sitting and playing every day, playing with mobile phones, and preferably playing with computers. After saying that, Brother Nan seemed to feel unrealistic, and relaxed the conditions, "It doesn't matter if you can't make money, just have fun, I can earn money by buying a few lottery tickets every month." β
"......" Zhou Li kept his composure, "So what?"
"So I'm looking for someone with a score similar to mine, a little better relationship, or a bad one, if you want to look smarter on a regular basis, he will be responsible for choosing a school, and I will follow him to choose, and pick a fun major. β
β......β
"Oh no, what's that look on your face?"
"I'm a bit square. β
"What are you?"
"No, nothing. β
Zhou Li shook his head and shook off the unrealistic thoughts, with his understanding of Brother Nan, it was like this, and most of the people from Tsinghua University and Peking University would not be able to escape.
He seemed to be able to imagine Brother Nan's expression tomorrow-
yes, I'm in!
