Li He ate his own meal, and a plate of fried pork with cabbage disappeared after a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He took the white flour bun and dipped it in the soup again, dipped it, took a bite, dipped it again, took another bite, and the soup was not much, and it was gone after a few times. He was not reconciled, and took the steamed bun and wiped it on the plate several times, until all the oil and water, all the soup, and the plate was as bright as a wash, and then he was willing to put down the plate and stuff the last piece of the bun into his mouth.

"It's a pity. "I can't bear it.

Only stinginess can make him overcome panic. It's okay to have money or not, it's okay to have ability, he's like this, the black chicken is black on the bones.

After eating, he sat next to the door, and the door was not closed, he was afraid that he would not hear the old man Zhang's call. The cold wind poured into his neck, and he stood up and put on his jacket, did not sit down again, and went straight to Old Man Zhang's house.

Old man Zhang's family was still eating, and when he saw Li He enter the door, Old Man Zhang moved a stool for him and said politely, "Come over and have a drink?"

"No need. ”

Old man Zhang said with a smile, "Grain and wine, the more you drink, the more you have, come and hold it." When the call came, it was answered. ”

"You're welcome. Li He took the wine, sat down around the stove, and when he saw that there was a bed in the pigeon shed, he asked, "Where are you putting it?"

Old man Zhang said, "It's too late to move your hukou, put a bed." ”

"I didn't hear it was going to be demolished. Li He is very sure that this piece will probably not be moved, and he remembers that it will be developed into a tourist attraction later, "It is really demolished, and you are also illegally built." ”

"If the relationship is good, it is also considered the construction area. Let me tell you, the opposite side of the road in front of us has been demolished, and we are only a few hundred meters away, so it's not a matter of time or time. Old man Zhang pushed a basin in front of Li He, "Taste this pigeon." ”

Li He waved his hand, "No need." Good food at home. ”

"It's a big supplement, you feel good when you eat it, and you can bring a few back when you go back. Old man Zhang took it apart again and handed it to Li He.

"Yo, such a good cigarette is smoking. Li He saw that it was China Tobacco, and couldn't help but ridicule Old Man Zhang, "This is a fortune." ”

Old man Zhang usually spends three or five cents tightly, although he still has a commissary, but the cigarettes in the commissary are also brought back by him with money, and he never smokes such a good cigarette.

"I went to the housing authority to inquire about things, and I couldn't lose face. If it is really demolished, it can pull a truckload of China, and it is not still possible to pump hard. Old man Zhang's eyes were single, and when he spoke, the single eyelid kept beating.

"Don't prepare so early, there's no shadow yet. Li He kindly reminded.

Old man Zhang smiled, "Of course you are not in a hurry, there are only two people in your family, you and your sister-in-law, and you can't add your account if you want to." What's more, in a place as big as your home, demolition is a big advantage. I still have two daughters, and the hukou has to be entered, so that I can also share more money, if the hukou is moved late, the news of the demolition will be late. ”

The so-called demolition is suitable for the development of YC City, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is a good opportunity for many people who have been demolished to improve their living conditions. Few people care about the feelings of historical architecture and culture.

Li He was about to speak, the phone in the outer room rang, and he was just about to stand up, when Old Man Zhang's son had already gone to answer the phone and came back to Li He and said, "Teacher Li, it is indeed your phone." ”

Li He hurriedly went outside to answer the phone, and sure enough, it was Shen Daoru.

"Mr. Li, I didn't find someone named Zhang Wanting. ”

Li He's heart tightened, "How could it not be, have your people been seriously searched?"

"Mr. Lee, I asked two groups of people to go back and forth, and the student dormitory you mentioned only has two Asians, and they are all Thai. Shen Daoru asked tentatively, "Will there be any English names, usually people who go abroad will have English names." Could it be that we have checked the wrong name? ”

"WantingZhang?" is the name of the recipient of each reply.

"I inquired about the names of several Hanzi phonetic combinations, and the students said that they had never heard of this name. ”

Li He said excitedly, "That's impossible." There must be!"

Every year he sends out so many letters, Zhang Wanting receives them and responds, how could he not be there? Could it be that the real name is wrong? Zhang Wanting has never told her her English name. However, even if you want to use an English name, at least it must be the same as your passport, and according to the regulations, the name of a person with Chinese household registration must be in Chinese when converted into English.

Seeing that Li He was so excited, Shen Daoru hurriedly reassured, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I'll let them go to the school's academic affairs to find it now, they just inquired in the student dormitory area." ”

"Hurry up, it's ninety o'clock in London time. I'll wait here. Li He hung up the phone after speaking.

He went back to the table in the back room, took out the cigarette from his pocket and scattered it for Old Man Zhang and his son.

Old man Zhang said, "Keep drinking." ”

"Keep drinking. Li He took a sip of the cup, and then let out a loud burp.

Zhang Zhen, the son of Old Man Zhang, said with a smile, "Teacher Li, you are really amazing, you speak English crunchyly, we just can't understand it." ”

"It's nothing. After studying for so many years, I can learn a little bit. ”

A few old men drank for about half an hour, and the phone rang again.

Old man Zhang said to Li He, "It's definitely still yours." Go pick it up yourself. ”

Li He took a deep breath, slammed the cup on the table, and got up to answer the phone.

"How?"

Shen Daoru hesitated, "Yes, there is this person, but..."

"But what... When did you become a stammer, hurry up. Li He was very impatient to swallow like this.

"I heard that I have left school. ”

"When?"

"She is in the graduate department, and the graduate students all graduated around the beginning of December, which is more than a month. ”

"Do you know where people go?"

"I don't know about the school, maybe it's still in the UK, or maybe it's back home. ”

Li He said, "Then continue to inquire for me." ”

He hung up the phone and gave Old Man Zhang money for the phone.

Old man Zhang gave him two pigeons, "Take it, I don't have a place to put it at home." Stewed and delicious. ”

Li He took it, holding a pigeon in one hand, and when he got home, the two dogs sniffed at the pigeon in Li He's hand, and the two pigeons were so frightened that they wanted to flutter on their arms, but their arms were grabbed tightly by Li He.

He had no interest in eating pigeons, so he threw them into the yard, dead or alive, fleeing or staying, depending on their own creation.

The three dogs were crazy with joy, and ran after the pigeon in the snow, but the pigeon was not high at all because its wings were cut off, and it was chased in a hurry and fluttered the pigeon's feathers. The three dogs are not a family, they have the same mind, they all use tactics, chase and intercept, and the two pigeons are blocked to the corner of the chicken coop for a moment. But only one of the cocks was a man, half-crouched and flapping his wings and cooing at the rhubarb's teeth, as if he was going to fight to the death.

Li angrily threw a broom pimple at the big yellow dog, "Hurry up and get out of your nest." ”

Rhubarb's fat body actually dodged the broom quickly, whimpered aggrievedly at Li He, and took his son and daughter back to his nest, wanting to eat pigeons to see the owner. Before, it also wanted to bring disaster to the chickens and ducks at home, all of which were treated as fried meat with bamboo shoots, and it had learned all the conventional weapons such as slaps, flying feet, rolling pins, and broom bumps.

It is very unconvinced by Li He's concept of "Huangjing strips make a good dog", but it can only whine....

The two pigeons were overjoyed and ran in the direction of the rockery excitedly.

The fourth child cleaned up his rice in the hall with red eyes, and he didn't care about Li He, but he was very interested in the two pigeons, and grabbed a handful of millet to feed him.

Li He said, "Don't feed rice, don't you have mung beans, feed mung beans." I'll go buy some corn tomorrow and feed it later. ”

"I want you to take care of it. The fourth said so, or put down the millet and went to the kitchen to catch mung beans.

The two pigeons were hiding in a small hole in the rockery, but when they saw the mung beans scattered on the ground, they still fluttered down from the stones and pecked at the mung beans. The fourth squatted in front of them, they were not scared, they were originally domestic pigeons and were not very afraid of people, not to mention that the old man Zhang did not feed much in order not to lose money. They are not so stupid to give up food in order to avoid people.

Li He was weak, and as soon as he returned to the house and lay down, the door slammed down.

"What. ”

"You didn't wash your feet!" was the voice of the fourth child outside the door.

"Don't wash it, you go to sleep. ”

Bang, the fourth child continued to knock on the door, but she didn't agree.

Li He got up irritably and opened the door, "What do you want to do if you don't sleep." ”

The fourth child held a bucket in one hand and a kettle in the other and said, "Wash your feet." ”

Li He reluctantly took it, took out the footbasin from under the table, mixed it with water, and put it in, and then saw that the fourth child was still standing in a daze, so he said, "Go back to the house and sleep." ”

"Brother, are you angry with me?"

"I'm mad at you. ”

"Then you're not happy. ”

"It's none of your business, leave my business alone, go to bed by yourself. ”

The fourth child pointed to the crook of Li He's autumn pants and said, "You're all broken, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow." ”

"I'll buy it myself. ”

The fourth child glanced at the deformed leather shoes on the ground again, and said for a while, "You always talk about buying, and I haven't seen you go shopping once." ”

"Isn't there something wrong with me shopping as a big man? ”

"Then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow?"

Li He waved his hand and said, "No, there will be something tomorrow." When we have to go home in a few days, we will go to the department store and buy it all at once. ”

"Okay. The fourth child walked out of the room in a daze, and suddenly couldn't help but turn his head and say, "You're really not angry with me?"

Li He said with a smile, "No, no." ”

I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, who else was willing to coax him like this except for his sister-in-law, and was used to him.
