Chapter 174: Snatching Love with a Horizontal Knife
Zhuge Haoran has long wanted to take Chen Zilin to the Youth Restaurant for dinner, because the last time we chatted together, Chen Zilin said that the circle of friends sent by a girl in the department was a meal with her boyfriend in the Youth Restaurant, and her words were full of disdain, saying that the girl was too vain, but Zhuge Haoran clearly heard the envy.
So under the pretext of celebrating his birthday, Zhuge Haoran moved Chen Zilin and brought her here.
I have to say that the legendary youth restaurant is really unique, as soon as you enter the door, there is a big blackboard, on which is written in colorful chalk I am waiting for you in youth!
Further inside, there are two rows of train boxes, each box is a room, half of the wall of the room has no door, the wall is pasted with classic old posters, radios, sewing machines and other objects are placed at random, as if from a certain era through a certain era, a wave of literary and artistic feelings come to the face.
It can be seen that Chen Zilin is very happy, she took out her mobile phone and kept taking pictures, and there was a bottle of colorful glass marbles on the wooden partition of the red brick wall.
In the restaurant, there is a lot of love for Dick Cowboy that can be reborn, Li Chang uses an old man's machine, so naturally he can't take pictures, but he asked Zhuge Haoran to help him take a photo with an enamel jar on the bar.
The white enamel jar is printed with five red letters: "Serve the people!"
"In the past, when my grandfather was alive, there was also a jar like this, which was specially used for making tea!" Li Chang stared at the jar for a long time, and if he could, he really wanted to touch it with his hand.
"This is really a good place for nostalgia! See that bottle of glass marbles? When I was a child in my hometown, my two younger brothers played with that on the ground every day!" Chen Zilin also smiled and talked to Li Chang.
"Come and sit down! it's about to be served!" Zhuge Haoran called them at the door of a box.
When passing by the cake shop just now, Chen Zilin bought a small cake, saying that it was a birthday, so naturally the cake could not be missing, but at this moment it had been unpacked by the waiter and placed in the middle of the table.
"This is a lighter, please take care of yourself!" The waiter went out, and Chen Zilin picked out 2 and 1 from the digital candles, inserted them on the cake, and lit the candle with a lighter.
"I wish you a happy birthday! I wish you a happy birthday......" Chen Zilin took the lead in clapping her hands and singing softly, the candlelight covered her young and beautiful face, Li Chang couldn't help but be stunned!
"Thank you! I am so happy that I have two good friends to celebrate my birthday today!" Zhuge Haoran closed his eyes and made a wish, and blew out the candle at once.
"Okay, cut the cake!I'm hungry!" Chen Zilin said with a smile, "Zhuge Haoran, what wish did you make just now?"
Zhuge Haoran said while cutting the cake, "I definitely hope that a lover will eventually become a family!"
Chen Zilin's face flushed, took the cake handed over by Zhuge Haoran, and by eating the cake, he lowered his head and did not answer.
Li Chang has never eaten a birthday cake, when his father was alive, the family was also poor, and no one in the family had ever had a birthday, let alone eat cake, which he had only seen on TV.
"It's delicious!" Li Chang couldn't help but praise, "If it's delicious, you can eat more!" Zhuge Haoran smiled and cut another piece of cake for Li Chang.
"Come, I'll give you another piece! Save you from crying!" Chen Zilin also added a piece to his plate.
"No, no, one piece is enough......" Li Chang blushed and pushed.
"Li Chang, let's not be fooled, Zhuge Haoran deliberately let us eat more cakes, and we won't be able to eat the big meal after a while!
Chen Zilin said to Li Chang with a smile, and squeezed her eyes at him mischievously.
Li Chang's mind was messed up, and his face was a little hot, so he heard Zhuge Haoran laugh, "You have seen through this! Chen Zilin, you are so smart!"
Taking advantage of the two of them joking there, Li Chang hurriedly lowered his head and ate the cake vigorously, to hide his panicked heartbeat and slightly trembling hands.
Zhuge Haoran ordered four dishes, running chicken, scallion roasted vegetable ginseng, braised prawns in oil and sour and hot potato shreds, "Today we are going to have a big meal, my dad learned to use WeChat to send red envelopes, and yesterday he actually sent me a red envelope of 200 yuan for my birthday, I think this must be his private money!"
Zhuge Haoran asked the waiter to open the beer and filled it for Li Chang and Chen Zilin one by one.
"I don't know how to drink!" Li Chang lied, the year he was admitted to college, he exchanged himself for the tuition fee given by Zhang Niang, she boldly said that she didn't need to pay him back, as long as she accompanied her a few more times.
Li Chang really wanted to throw 5,000 yuan on her fat face, but he couldn't do that, only going to school was the only way to change his fate, watching his mother go to all the relatives' houses and only borrow 500 yuan, Li Chang knew that going to Zhang Niang's to borrow was the only hope.
Legend has it that Zhang Niang is a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, her husband is a waste person, paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, she is said to have a lot of money when she opens a small store at the entrance of the village, but in her early forties has slept most of the men in the village.
Anyone who asks her to borrow money must pass this level, and when Li Chang knocked on her door, Zhang Niang's eyes lit up, like a hungry wild cat, and her eyes glowed faintly green in the dark.
On the day he got the money, Li Chang went to a tavern in town and got drunk, and from that day on, everything he saw seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
"It doesn't matter if you don't drink, everything has a first time! Come on, brother who sleeps in my lower bunk, for the sake of our friendship, cheers!" Zhuge Haoran raised his glass boldly.
Li Chang soon became a little drunk, he talked to Chen Zilin endlessly, during a meal, Li Chang said almost more than the entire university, he wanted to control himself, but the more he controlled the words, the more he talked about his impoverished hometown, talking about the seemingly beautiful future and those unrealistic ideals, he cried as he spoke.
Zhuge Haoran was stupid, and hurriedly went to the bar to ask for some wet wipes, ready to wipe Li Chang's tears, Chen Zilin looked at Li Chang who was lying on the table and wailing, but a trace of distress flashed in his heart, also from a poor family in the southwest region, Chen Zilin deeply understood Li Chang's mood.
Although both parents have both parents, the patriarchal style in the town has made her unvalued since she was a child, and everything has to be done by her younger brothers first, Chen Zilin can only eat what her younger brothers don't eat, and she can only take what her younger brothers don't want.
Every morning, I have to wash the family's clothes before I go to school, and the first thing I do when I come back at night is not to write my homework first, but to cook the family's meals.
If she hadn't been forced to die in the end, and promised her that she would pay for the marriage of her two younger brothers in the future, I am afraid that she would have been married by her parents to someone in exchange for a bride price.
Thinking of this, Chen Zilin couldn't help but stretch out her hand to wipe away the tears on Li Chang's face, "Don't cry!
Li Chang's eyes were hazy with tears, he raised his head from the table, he wiped his tears, and Chen Zilin looked at each other, and there was a sudden lightning and thunder between the two of them, and the fire was shining!
Li Chang grabbed Chen Zilin's hand, "Do you really understand me?"
"Well, it's the end of the world!"
"Why do you have to know each other when you meet!"
Two people, four hands, tightly clasped together!
At this scene, Zhuge Haoran stood at the door of the box and saw it clearly, and the pack of wet wipes in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
