On the second day of summer vacation, it was sunny.

The first time I saw it, I got up early, washed my clothes, and after breakfast, I went to work at the Guangming Cold Drink Shop on Ximen Street.

The cold drink shop basically won't have any business in the morning, but there is no idle at first sight, as soon as I come to clean, follow the old staff to learn some of the process of making complex cold drinks, but the strange thing is that yesterday was extraordinarily enthusiastic and patient to guide her shop owner Wei Ting today is a little abnormal, except for two simple words when entering the door, I never spoke to her again, but this is also very good, the owner of the store is too enthusiastic to make people uncomfortable.

"Chick, I'm thirsty. ”

When she was busy at the counter for the first time, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, she subconsciously looked up, and saw a girl in front of the counter, wearing navy blue denim shorts and a small white vest of pure cotton, with a black Nike baseball cap upside down on her head, a few strands of fine bangs on her forehead, and her hands in her ears compared to bighorn deer, and smiled at her: "In the middle of summer, why relieve your worries, Cuihua, give me ice cream!"

Chu Jian couldn't help but smile: "Ji Ling, why are you here?"

Ji Ling lay on the counter: "I'll come to the pedestrian street to take a look at you by the way." ”

I was surprised at first sight and said, "Then I'll make you an ice cream." ”

Ji Ling smiled: "I want strawberry flavor." ”

Chu Jian said yes, then turned around and made an ice cream and handed it to Ji Ling, Ji Ling took money from his pocket and handed it to Chu Ling, Chu Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I invite you." ”

Ji Ling was not polite at all, put the money back into his pocket and said, "Then I want another one." ”

Hatsumi pursed his lips and smiled and said yes.

When making ice cream, Ji Ling said: "I'm so bored when I go out shopping alone, how about walking with me when I meet for the first time?"

Hatsumi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you wait a minute, I'll talk to the boss." ”

After making the ice cream, Chu Jian asked the shop owner Wei Ting for two hours off, Wei Ting was in the middle of the store at that time, and heard Chu Jian say that he asked for leave to go out with a friend, so he came to the door of the room and glanced at it, and after seeing Ji Ling, the expression on his face became quite unnatural, but Ji Ling waved to him with a smile like a nobody.

When I saw this scene for the first time, I was quite surprised.

After making the ice cream and Ji Ling left the Guangming Cold Drink Shop, she asked Ji Ling, "Do you know the owner of this shop?"

Ji Ling took a bite of ice cream and said, "I don't know, look at how handsome he looks, say hello." ”

I didn't know how to answer at first sight.

Ji Ling is like this, he doesn't need a reason to say or do anything, as if he doesn't care about anything. That's how you can live happily, at least yourself. At first sight.

Ximen Street in summer is very lively, pedestrians are like dense ants stuffed on the whole street, there are camphor trees on both sides of the street, as well as snack bars, clothing stores, jewelry stores, etc., two girls eat ice cream, strolling on the crowded streets, blooming an early summer camphor flowers in the wind in pieces, falling on the white skirt and Ji Ling's black baseball cap at the first sight, Ji Ling's steps are brisk, jumping, as if a spring is installed under his feet, and he talks to her softly at first sight.

"Yunqi, why didn't you go shopping with him?" asked Hatsumi.

Ji Ling said: "Who said that I would go shopping with him, I have been very unhappy to see him recently." ”

Hatsumi said, "Why? We had dinner together the other day." ”

Ji Ling said: "A few days ago was a few days ago, and now is now, don't talk about this, tell you a good thing." ”

"What?" Hatsumi asked.

Ji Ling said: "You were fired by the owner of the Guangming cold drink shop. ”

Hatsumi stopped.

Obviously, Ji Ling's words made her a little unable to react, and after a while, she looked at Ji Ling suspiciously: "Why?

Ji Ling smiled: "I know, I guess the boss thinks you are too good-looking, and he is afraid that the door of the store will be blocked every day and affect the business, so he will fire you, but at first sight, I found you another job and went to the Public Security Bureau to do social practice." ”

"Huh?" at first sight.

Ji Ling said as he walked: "It's just some very simple things, collecting files and sorting out materials in the office, but you can't go to work until ten days later." ”

When she heard Ji Ling say this for the first time, she was sure that she must know Wei Ting, the owner of the Guangming Cold Drink Shop, and she could guess the ins and outs of this matter, but looking at Ji Ling who was walking in front, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know why Ji Ling did this, but her heart was warm, just like the weather at that time.

She looked at the girl in front of her, who was looking left and right, followed a few steps, and shouted, "Ji Ling." ”

"Huh?" Ji Ling turned his head to look at the first sight, his black and white eyes were big: "What's wrong?"

Hatsumi pursed his lips, and finally just shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

Ji Ling smiled, turned around and took Chujian's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's have lunch, we will travel in a few days, and then you will go to work when you come back." ”

Hatsumi subconsciously said, "Then do you want to call Yunqi over too?"

Ji Ling said "hey": "Thinking about Zhang Yunqi all the time, you don't like him for the first time." ”

When I first saw the little face, I immediately turned red.

Ji Ling suddenly burst into laughter.

Then she pulled Hatsumi and continued to walk forward, the daylight was still early at that time, and the sun was very warm in midsummer, quietly scattered on the streets of the small city of Jiangchuan, in the lawn, among Ji Ling's jumping figure, and on the skirt of Chujian's white clouds rolling.

The midsummer of '93 has just begun, and with the deepening of reform and opening up, the grand collective discourse of the planned economy era has come to an end. This is a new era that really opens up the feeling of daily life, and the sixteen-year-old Ji Ling is like a new era Chinese who grew up under the red flag, living in his own small world with his own stubbornness.

What that small world is like, maybe only Zhang Yunqi, who grew up with her, can see it, but Zhang Yunqi, who has just finished his first year of high school, is a layman, and in July and August, when the sun has been shining all summer, he has the dream of making a fortune with a copycat VCD player.

Although, he is already a millionaire.

Volume III: At the End of the Prayer: The Final Chapter

＊

Testimonials at the end of the volume.

I am very satisfied with the writing at the beginning of this volume, and I can say that I have written everything I want to express and show to the readers, but after I came out to find a job, I really didn't have enough energy, I didn't have enough time, I was always in a hurry, and some places were not so satisfying.

Especially in the recent past, it can be said that it is basically one update every two days, four changes a week, intermittently, so I'm sorry for the readers, I'm sorry for you.

But there's no point in talking about that.

A new volume will start tomorrow, and I hope it will show you a new look.

Thank you.
