Chapter 4: The End of First Love
That year, Wen Feng was 19 years old and Yang Lu was 18 years old.
Although I haven't seen Wen Feng at the age of nineteen, I guess that Wen Feng at that time was tall, handsome, funny and humorous, played football well, and was still a guitarist in a band, and should be a boy who is very popular with girls. He is a little clever and playful, but he doesn't like to study much, according to his own words, he knew that he was crazy when he was in school, and he didn't want to fall in love until after work.
Following the story of Wenfeng and Yang Lu, I followed to a Beijing suburb called Y, which I only knew about Shunyi, Changping, Daxing, Tongzhou, Fangshan, ...... This is the first time I've heard of such a place in Beijing. Listening to Wen Feng's description, this is actually a petrochemical area, so the Y suburb, also known as Y Petrochemical, that suburb is very small, there are tens of thousands of people, almost all of them are Y Petrochemical employees and their families, Wen Feng's parents are making their own contributions to the petrochemical development of the motherland there.
It is said that the welfare treatment in that place in the nineties was very good, meat, vegetables, shirts and T-shirts in summer, cotton clothes and down jackets in winter, everything was distributed, and the houses were all divided by the unit. His description reminded me directly of a paradise like Peach Blossom Spring.
Originally, Wen Feng thought that his life would be spent there, until he met Yang Lu later......
It was a weekend night in October 1999 in front of a small restaurant on the outskirts of Y.
"Gross... "It's so uncomfortable, Wen Feng stretched out his fingers and clasped his throat, he really wanted to detain everything in his stomach;
"Aren't you just a girl? Besides, it won't be long? Look at your talent. Li Tao held the mineral water he had just bought in his hand, scolded while walking over and lightly hammered Wen Feng's back, and after a few pats, he heard him say: "Damn, it's not good! Vomit...".
Wen Feng took a sip of the mineral water in Li Tao's hand, cleared the foreign object in his mouth, turned his head to look at Li Tao and chuckled, "You... What are you spitting on?"
"It's not that you vomited those disgusting things that recruited me too. Li Tao raised his head, took the water from Wen Feng's hand, rinsed his mouth, and then said, "For a woman, do you look at your current virtue?" Wen Feng didn't speak, not because he didn't want to say, but because he felt that his throat was a little salty, he hurriedly held on to the tree, bent down and spit out a few times.
At this time, a man and two women walked out of the restaurant next to them, they walked up to Wen Feng and Li Tao, one of the girls frowned and said to Li Tao, "How is he?"
"It shouldn't be fine, it's not the first time I've vomited wine, and I haven't drunk much, so I'm not happy!" Li Tao said.
Wen Feng straightened up, took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and said to the girl: "Hook, I....I'm fine, it's much more comfortable to spit out." By the way, Jianhui, give me my coat. After speaking, Wen Feng took the coat in the hand of the man who came out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and prepared to go back to the hotel to pay.
"Have you settled the bill? Brother Jianhui has already settled. The person who spoke was Lin Yuhan, and she glanced up at Wen Feng, with a hint of distress in her eyes.
"Jianhui, how much?"
"100,000 yuan! If you want to give it, you can't lose a penny. Song Jianhui said to him with a smile.
"Didn't you say okay, I'll invite everyone, kind of to celebrate the end of my first love. Wen Feng still wanted to insist on giving the money to Song Jianhui, Li Tao walked over and put his arm around his shoulder and said, "My brother, then when you see dry hair outside, can't anyone dig it out the same?" Li Tao hiccuped.
Song Jianhui also said: "A meal can be worth a few dollars, don't worry about mom." Today's weekend, tomorrow everybody's off, what's the plan?"
Seeing that they were all insisting, Wen Feng gave up.
Li Tao, 19 years old, Wenfeng's technical school classmate, thin and tall, with long hair over the ears, at that time, the movie was popular, and Chen Haonan studied in it with long hair, who was more righteous and impulsive. Wen Feng said that Li Tao has a quirk, that is, when you walk with him, you always like to hold boys' hands, or pinch them, or stroke them. In these years, if you see men and women holding hands on the road, it is normal for girls to hold hands with each other, but if two old men are holding hands in broad daylight, the scene will give you goosebumps, and even Wen Feng once thought that Li Tao's sexual orientation was problematic. Since he met Lin Yuhan through Wen Feng two years ago, Li Tao has regarded her as his dream lover. That quirk has never been happening.
Song Jianhui, 21 years old, is said to be a year late in school, plus family reasons, took a year off, so he became a classmate with Wen Feng in the later technical school, because he was two years older than everyone else, he took care of Wen Feng and Li Tao, and he was usually more stable and careful, like a big brother, and he was a very reliable brother.
"Hook" real name Gou Xiaonan, 19 years old, a few female classmates at Wenfeng Technical School, there are basically not many girls studying auto repair majors, and there are five girls in the class of forty people, as if five lambs have fallen into the wolves. She has a boyish personality, dares to speak and do, and is lively and outgoing. Because her surname is relatively special, and there are many naughty boys when she goes to school, everyone makes jokes about her surname, such as cranes, hooks, these are her aliases. Usually Lao and Wen Feng are playing together, and they are all called by everyone.
Lin Yuhan, 17 years old, combed with a ponytail, long delicate and quiet. Take the college entrance examination next year. Her parents and Wen Feng's parents are very good colleagues, the two front and back buildings, live very close, and they will walk around each other when they have nothing to do, because there are many boys near the home when they are young, there are no playmates, and occasionally they will be bullied by some older children, as long as Wen Feng sees it, he will help her out, and later Wen Feng will take Lin Yuhan when he plays with other children, and sometimes he will accompany her to play with the rubber band, Hopscotch is a game that only girls play, and other little boys still have coaxing, and he doesn't care at all, he thinks the games played by girls are also quite interesting. It can be said that he grew up with Wen Feng's childhood sweetheart.
In fact, there is a boy who has a good relationship with them, his name is Cui Wei, and Wen Feng is small, the two of them are friends who have been fighting since childhood, and they are always fighting in elementary school and junior high school, at that time the two were about the same size, due to the influence of genetics, Cui Wei has stayed at 163cm since then. The two went to the same technical school, were in the same class, and were even eventually assigned to the same unit. Wen Feng said that this Cui Wei's background is very pitiful, his parents divorced at the age of six, and the two sides formed a new family, and it is conceivable that he is caught in the middle. When he joined the army from a state-owned enterprise in December 1998, only Wen Feng and Cui Wei were left in the end, and Wen Feng withdrew at the last time because there was only one place.
Wen Feng said that if he had joined the army at that time, then his first love and everything that followed would not have happened, and maybe he was still petrified by Y.
