Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Silence in Front of the Maple Tree
The most famous hot pot in Yanhai City is the old hot pot on Sili Street.
Although the owner of the hot pot restaurant is from Sichuan, he has been running this hot pot restaurant for more than 20 years, and the taste is authentic and delicious.
In the afternoon, when Zhao Yingran went to look for Wen Shaohua, the rain had stopped, but the weather was still dreary.
At this time, the two came to the hot pot restaurant, Wen Shaohua asked for a private room, and as soon as the two sat down, it rained again outside the window.
The rain was pouring down on the window pane, and the window was on the right, and the two sat facing each other, and when they squinted, they could see the rain outside the window.
"How many years haven't you eaten hot pot here?" Wen Shaohua asked.
Zhao Yingran took the mutton with chopsticks and soaked it in the hot red pot a few times, then took it out and ate it with sesame sauce.
After eating this bite of mutton, Zhao Yingran answered his question: "I came to eat with Xiaoni not long ago." ”
Wen Shaohua smiled and said, "I haven't eaten hot pot here for ten years. ”
Zhao Yingran asked, "Why, haven't you always lived in Yanhai City?"
Wen Shaohua put a piece of green vegetables into the white soup pot, and then said: "At first, it was because I had no money, then because I was used to it, and now it is because it is unnecessary." ”
Zhao Yingran nodded, indicating that she understood this truth.
She gave two hairy belly clips to Wen Shaohua, and Wen Shaohua smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yingran asked.
"It's only been a few days since you came back?" Wen Shaohua said while eating hairy belly.
Zhao Yingran said: "It's only a few days." ”
"Are you scared when so many things happen?" Wen Shaohua said.
Zhao Yingran nodded and said, "Of course, I'm not superhuman. ”
Wen Shaohua smiled.
Today he was with Zhao Yingran, and he laughed a lot.
"Why did Bingyou entrust the company to you?" Wen Shaohua asked casually.
Zhao Yingran said: "It's still early, I'll talk about it later." ”
Wen Shaohua turned his head to look at the rain outside the window, turned his head to look at Zhao Yingran's greedy appearance and smiled again.
Zhao Yingran ate lettuce, looked at his smile, and the white hair on his temples, thinking that he was still so good-looking.
"Did you still like me when you asked me to leave here?" asked Zhao Yingran.
Wen Shaohua thought for a while and said: "I like it, and I hate it." ”
"Hate more, or like more?" Zhao Yingran asked.
Wen Shaohua said: "It should be one of them, and it is equally important. ”
Zhao Yingran was very happy to hear this, she raised her glass and said, "Let's have a drink." ”
……
After eating the hot pot, the two walked along the Shuiwan Bridge of the East River in Yanhai City again.
Zhao Yingran and Wen Shaohua did not hold hands or hold their shoulders, but just walked side by side, talking and laughing, looking like two college students who had just graduated from college.
Students have no worries, no conspiracy, no reality.
Zhao Yingran pointed to a hill in the northwest direction of the Shuiwan Bridge and said, "We went on a spring outing that year. ”
Wen Shaohua's expression was relaxed, his eyes were casual, he looked in the direction pointed by Zhao Yingran, and then said: "Yes, you didn't dare to take the cable car, but you were deceived by a few of us, and you almost peed your pants in fright." ”
Zhao Yingran smiled and said, "What about the thing about you being scared and crying in the haunted house?"
Wen Shaohua didn't seem to hear this, and walked quickly to the stall placed on the sidewalk by the bridge.
The construction of the Donghe Shuiwan Bridge in Yanhai City was not long in time, that is, it took three years to complete.
At that time, one of the issues around was whether it was possible to place street stalls in the sidewalks built on the bridge.
At that time, when this issue came out, those parliamentarians were shocked: Isn't it nonsense to set up a stall on the bridge with an investment of nearly 80 million yuan?
It took less than two hours for the topic to come to an outcome: allowed.
At first, those who opposed it saw the proponent of the issue, and when they saw the name, they raised their hands in agreement.
Wen Shaohua was the one who proposed to set up a stall on the bridge.
At that time, Wen Shaohua had not yet become the richest man in Yanhai City, and because he was too domineering and arrogant, he offended many people.
It stands to reason that proposals that affect the beautification of the city should be rejected or even criticized as soon as they are spoken.
But why do they all support Wen Shaohua?
In fact, the reason is very simple, this bridge was built by Wen Shaohua who donated money to **.
Zhao Yingran didn't know these things, thinking that the atmosphere here was similar to the bridge when she was a child, and she liked it a lot.
There are all kinds of things bought and sold on the stalls, almost everything, even if you don't have it, as long as you have money, the stall owner can send you WeChat plus tomorrow to send you a courier.
Wen Shaohua came to a stall and bought a jasmine flower for two yuan.
He happily stood in front of Zhao Yingran with jasmine and said, "Is it good-looking?"
Zhao Yingran looked at him as happy as a big child, and she said, "It's good-looking." ”
Wen Shaohua inserted jasmine into Zhao Yingran's hair and said, "This looks better." ”
Then Wen Shaohua took Zhao Yingran's hand and said, "I'll take you to see a better thing." After speaking, he took Zhao Yingran's hand and ran in front, Zhao Yingran followed behind, his head raised, swaying in the wind.
The two stood on the head of the bridge, Wen Shaohua pointed to the stone tablet erected on the ground, one meter five high, and said, "Take a closer look!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yingran looked carefully at the words engraved on the stone tablet, and only finally covered her mouth and said, "The bridge you built?"
Wen Shaohua couldn't hide the smug look on his face and said, "To be precise, I just paid the money." ”
Zhao Yingran smiled very happily, and she said to Wen Shaohua seriously: "You are really amazing!"
Wen Shaohua raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course!"
"Kiss me?" Wen Shaohua looked at Zhao Yingran and asked.
Zhao Yingran was close to Wen Shaohua, and the two hugged each other together, and they didn't let go of each other for a long time.
After the Donghe Shuiwan Bridge was turned, the two went straight up along the riverside road, stopping and stopping all the way.
The two held hands for a while, and Zhao Yingran pulled Wen Shaohua's sleeve for a while, walking on the street, as if the lights on the street were extinguished, and the two would not stop. (Zhao Lei's Chengdu)
However, no matter how long the street was, it was impossible to go all the way on, so the two stopped.
Zhao Yingran and Wen Shaohua stood under a maple tree, and the green leaves of the maple tree fluttered in the wind, making a loud noise.
"That's it. Zhao Yiran said.
Wen Shaohua looked at the maple tree and nodded.
More than ten years ago, the two often came here after school, Wen Shaohua had a car at home but did not take a car, he liked to ride a bicycle, because riding a bicycle could carry Zhao Eran, and Zhao Eran could hold his waist.
At that time, Wen Shaohua was a cow, Zhao Yingran sat behind the bicycle and pinched his waist with both hands, and then pointed excitedly, Wen Shaohua rode wherever he went.
Ten years ago, the two met again in this place for the last time.
Wen Shaohua slapped Zhao Yingran four times, scolded four sentences, and then told Zhao Yingran to get out.
Ten years later, the two stood here again, and Zhao Yingran looked at the maple tree quietly, silent.
Wen Shaohua was as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at the maple tree.
