Gao Siqi said weakly, "I'll go down first, can you wait?"

Li Lan nodded and said with a smile, "What's wrong with this, I'm waiting for you here." ”

"Thank you. Gao Siqi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My parents don't know that I work there, please trouble you..."

Li Lan didn't wait for her to finish, and said, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, you can rest assured."

"I worked there for less than a week, and I used to work as a waiter in a restaurant next to me, but the boss was too disgusting, and I couldn't find a job for a while, so I went to work in the bathhouse. Gao Siqi herself didn't understand why she was explaining so much.

Li Lan smiled, "No wonder, I still wonder if everyone likes to spend money to find guilt." ”

"I'm sorry. Although the other party was in disguise to damage her massage technique, Gao Siqi didn't care, just smiled awkwardly, pushed the car door and got out of the car, "I can't help it for the time being, the salary there is relatively high, so I will deal with it there for a stage first." ”

A woman came out of the vegetable shed with a water pipe in her hand, glanced at the car at the door in surprise, and asked Gao Siqi, "How did you come back?"

Gao Siqi gathered his sideburns and said with a smile, "Let a friend drive it, you are not in good health, Dad, just let him water the garden, don't move around, don't toss a big problem into a small problem." ”

Her old lady's face was dark, her blood was insufficient, and she threw the water pipe into the water tank, and Gao Siqi took the first step to turn off the motor switch on the wall.

"I've never seen anyone who is really tired to death, people don't move, and they die when they get lazy. She looked in the direction of Li Lan again, and said in a low voice, "Don't take some indiscriminate things home, but you can have some eyes for yourself." ”

Gao Siqi sneered, "What do you think of me, it's just an ordinary friend, he just happens to have a car, it's more convenient for us to go to the hospital, you don't care about this, hurry up and grab the things, we'll leave immediately." ”

Her old lady said, "Oh, by the way, did your brother send his living expenses this month? You can only work harder, fortunately, in the past two years, when he graduates, he doesn't have to work so hard, who made me sick now, you can't count on it for the time being." ”

Gao Siqi said, "I transferred three hundred first, and then I received my salary and then paid him again, as long as he works harder than anything else, do you want to go into the house to change clothes, leave now, and when there are many people in the hospital, you have to queue up again." ”

"Now that the price of goods is so high, what is enough for three hundred?" she frowned.

"Thinking that it will cost you to go to the hospital later, I left a little money," Gao Siqi comforted, "After the review is done, see if there is anything left, and I will transfer a little more." ”

Her mother said, "Your brother also takes a lot of effort to study, it's not easier than you, and you can take care of it a little." The hospital didn't open until nine o'clock, don't worry, you let the guy who drove the car come down to drink a bowl of porridge first, don't worry about this time. ”

After speaking, he lifted the roller shutter in front of the door and entered the house with a chirp.

Gao Siqi turned to Li Lan and opened his car door, "Come in and have some porridge?"

Li Lan shook his head, "I ate four big cakes, and my stomach didn't leave so much emptiness, if you're hungry, you can eat it, I won't eat it." ”

When I got out of the car, I gave her a cigarette first, and when I saw that she didn't answer, I lit it for myself and looked around, which was similar to most rural areas, nothing unusual, and nothing worth looking forward to.

Gao Siqi saw the water cup in the car, so he asked, "Is the cup yours?" ”

Li Lan said, "The car belongs to one of my cousins, and the cup is also his, you are busy with your own, I am not thirsty." ”

Gao Siqi saw him leaning on the car and didn't move, and then asked, "Then why don't you go into the house and sit, I'll find you a water cup." ”

Li Lan smiled, "Thank you, the sun is very good outside, you go into the house and clean up, I'll wait for you here." ”

He must drink water for tea, which is exactly the same as his old one, if there is no tea, unless he is thirsty, he will not touch the cup.

There was a dog barking not far away, probably smelling the smell of him, and suddenly came out from behind the butt of the car, Gao Siqi immediately stood in front of Li Lan and barked at the big black dog with bared teeth.

The big black dog stuck out his tongue and began to circle her.

Gao Siqi said, "I'm sorry, this dog barks blindly and doesn't bite." ”

"Whose car is this?" Before anyone could be seen, the voice had already come in from outside, it was a loud man's voice.

The man walked from behind the butt of the car, in his fifties, medium height, with sunken cheeks and dark eyebrows rising and falling in his rough voice.

Shake off the rubber shoes on his feet, put the shovel on his shoulder under his chin, press his two hands, and look Li Lan up and down.

Gao Siqi hurriedly introduced, "This is my friend." ”

At this time, she was embarrassed to think that she didn't know Li Lan's name.

Therefore, the word 'friend' is bitten too lightly at the end and is almost inaudible.

Li Lan stretched out his hand towards the man, "Hello uncle, my name is Li Lan." ”

"Where's home?" the man asked warily.

Li Lan said, "Northern Anhui." ”

The man said, "Southern." ”

For them, the boundaries of the customs belong to the south.

Li Lan said, "Yes. ”

The man then asked, "What do you do at home?"

This question made Li Lan a little difficult, and the answer to the business seemed to be a bit perfunctory, if it was specific, he couldn't answer it, because his Lao Tzu's industry was too many and too miscellaneous, and he couldn't say which one was the main business.

Therefore, he said, "Mainly in the scrap industry." ”

The man looked at the license plate again, raised his head and asked, "This license plate is so familiar?

"Are you talking about He Anwen?" Li Lan remembered that his cousin had the nickname of 'big-eyed'.

The man said, "It's him, you can drive his car, what do you have to do with it?"

Li Lan said, "He is my cousin. ”

"Uncle?" the man scratched his head, muttered to himself, and then asked, "What's your mother's name?"

Gao Siqi hurriedly interrupted, "Dad, are you investigating the household registration or what? We are just ordinary friends." ”

The man stopped dwelling on that, but just asked, "Where did you meet?"

"He was having dinner at our hotel, and he happened to know him, and when he saw that I couldn't catch a taxi, he was enthusiastic to give me a ride, where do you want to go. Gao Siqi hurriedly grabbed the words.

The man said, "That's really warm-hearted." What does Fang have to do with your family?"

Li Lan thought about it for a while, but there was nothing worth hiding, "That's my aunt, Fang Quan and Fang Li are my cousins." ”

"Oh, I'll just say it. The man suddenly realized, "He Anwen is the boss, there are only two brothers, is your wife's name He Fang?"

Li Lan couldn't imagine that the other party was so tortuous and roundabout, but he still took out his family background, so he nodded very simply.

Gao Siqi asked curiously, "Dad, do you know everything?"

The man said happily, "Speaking of which, it's still a high school classmate." There are not many people who go out in our county, but his wife is the most powerful one, and the three newly built buildings in the county No. 1 middle school were donated by her, and one of the buildings is still my contracted work. ”

Gao Siqi cast a glance at Li Lan.

Her mother came out of the house carrying a plastic bag for CT scans from the hospital, and she greeted her and took it herself.

She asked, "What are you going to do?"

Gao Siqi said, "The doctor said that it needs to be checked regularly. ”

She said, "Then wait, I'll go with you." ”

In Gao Siqi's surprised eyes, she went back to the house to shave, changed into new clothes, and put on polished leather shoes.

"Why are you stupid, get in the car and go. He urged his daughter.

"Oh. Gao Siqi was about to sit in the passenger seat, and found that her Lao Tzu had already taken the lead, so she could only sit in the back row with her mother, and cast an apologetic look at Li Lan.

Li Lan turned around in the narrow yard, and after a lot of effort, he drove the car out of the yard.

Gao Siqi Laozi sat in the passenger seat, refused to be honest, pulled down the window glass, and said with a smile, "12-cylinder, I thought I almost bought one back then, but unfortunately I lost the whole game." ”

Li Lan smiled, when it comes to Go, he is a professional.

If you miss a move, you may not lose.

He couldn't compete with amateurs on such professional issues, so he asked with a smile, "Uncle Gao used to do engineering?"

"It's not far away, I didn't say much a few years ago, there are 100,000 in my hand, and I built many buildings in our county. Gao Siqi's old son is called Gao Jiahao, originally just a forest farm worker, the wind of the market economy blew to their kind of border town a little late, but fortunately he caught up, starting from a small contractor, building a house for people in the countryside, accumulating the first pot of gold, and then getting bigger and bigger, and began to contract commercial projects.

Just standing on a high place and floating for a few days, he suddenly fell to the ground, and the fall was very painful and miserable.

Li Lan said, "Time is also fate, luck is still uncertain." ”

Gao Jiahao said, "I like to hear what you say, sometimes people's ability is one thing, and the main thing depends on luck, but in the past few years, luck has been too bad, and it is really bad to do anything." I think about the past, I'm still beautiful, where is it like now, people are not as good as ghosts if they don't have money, and soup is better than water without salt. ”

Gao Siqi couldn't tear down her Lao Tzu's platform in person, so she simply turned her head and asked Li Lan, "Do you know the road to the hospital?"

Li Lan said, "Don't worry, I know." ”

The county seat is not big, and it can be completed in ten minutes by car, so many road sections do not need to be deliberately memorized at all, as long as they can distinguish the southeast and northwest.

The phone in the center console rang, he slowed down the car, glanced at the phone screen, and he was stable.

"Uncle, you're up. ”

He An said steadily, "I asked the service desk and said that you drove out early in the morning, and there was nothing you needed to help with, right? ”

Li Lan said, "I'll just slip around, aren't you in a hurry to use the car?"

He An said steadily, "I have a lot of cars, even if you drive, you will come back for dinner at noon when you have time." ”

"Okay, I'll call you later. Li Lan pressed the shutdown button.

Walking all the way to the gate of the hospital and parking the car at the door, Gao Siqi said, "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble, you can be busy with your business." ”

Gao Jiahao also said politely, "Yes, you are busy people, and I can't delay your time." ”

Li Lan got out of the car and said with a smile, "It's okay, you guys go in first, I'll wait for you outside, there is nothing to do anyway." ”

Gao Siqi was stunned, she didn't expect Li Lan to be so kind, and said in a deep voice, "Then will you wait for us for a while, just go in and make a film." ”

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave at the door, he simply dragged him away.

Li Lan was the only one left, standing bored at the door of the hospital.

He couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

Gao Siqi's family came out quickly, and they came out in about an hour.

Li Lan sent the family back the same way, and Gao Jiahao enthusiastically stayed for dinner, but he still refused.

After going out, I called He Anwen and asked where the location was.

He Anwen and others were all grilling and barbecuing by the river, and two ovens were set up under the shade of the trees, and seven or eight people were circling around, some of the mutton brought over, and some of the fish caught from the river, all of which were roasted.

The sun rose high, and the sunlight seemed to be a needle inserted in a daze, and the person who pierced it was in pain, and he couldn't stand the heat, so he swam around the river.

After going ashore, the shirt that was originally taken off was simply put on again, and the province would take off a layer of skin.

After the barbecue, everyone found another boat, and the barbecue and beer were moved to the boat, while eating and drinking, while sitting and watching the scenery on both sides of the strait, it was lively and lively for a whole day.

In the evening, He Long had a treat at the hotel, and everyone drank another seven meat and eight vegetables, Li Lan drank a lot, and did not go back to Fang's house, but slept directly in the hotel.

When I woke up in the morning, I was still groggy.

I took a bath, made a cup of tea, stood on the balcony, leaned on the railing, and overlooked the small buildings in the small city, and the pedestrians and vehicles on the river.

received a text message, it was actually Gao Siqi, saying that he was going to invite him to dinner.

He thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.

After making an appointment, he pinched the point and went out.

I didn't drive this time, I walked past, and it wasn't far.

The door of the hotel is not big, but fortunately it is still clean, Gao Siqi saw him come in and wiped the front of his table with a tissue.

Li Lan smiled, "Don't be so exaggerated, just make do with it." You're up so early today?"

Gao Siqi said, "I went in the middle of the night last night, and I went back to the dormitory in the second half of the night. ”

Li Lan said, "Then don't do it." ”

Gao Siqi put the teacup on the corner of his mouth, smiled bitterly, didn't say anything more, and pushed the menu in front of Li Lan.

Li Ran has never been very good at ordering, and when he saw that the other party insisted on letting him order, he simply wrote two dishes at random.

Gao Siqi looked at the dishes he ordered, "These dishes are really hard enough." ”

Then two more were added according to the menu.

"Drinking?"

"Can you drink?" asked Li Lan.

Gao Siqi nodded, "Two bottles of beer per person?"

Li Lan only smelled a faint fragrance from her, crisp soul and bones. Still calmly said, "Then two bottles." ”

When the wine and food came up, she poured him a glass first, and the cup in front of her was also full, and then raised it and said, "I'll drink this cup first, which can be regarded as an apology to you." ”

Li Lan covered the mouth of her cup and asked with a smile, "What do you apologize to me for?" ”

Gao Siqi said, "Yesterday my father was a little abrupt. ”

Li Lan said, "Uncle is a very enthusiastic person, let's have a drink together." ”

The two drank a glass of wine together.

Gao Siqi said, "Are you going back?"

Li Lan was stunned, "How do you know?"

Gao Siqi said, "You talked to your family on the phone that night, wasn't I there?"

Li Lan said, "It's probably going to take five or six days." ”

Gao Siqi supported her chin with one hand and held a cup with the other, and asked with a smile, "Then will we have a chance to meet in the future?"

Li Lan said, "Now that communication is so developed, you can contact you in any way, you have time to go to the capital to play, and I can also receive you and be a tour guide for you." ”

"Really?" her eyes lit up.

Li Lan said, "I am an idler, and I have more time. ”

In the immediate future, he doesn't have high requirements for him, so there is no restriction on time, and there is no control on action, and he is a real free man.

Gao Siqi said, "Can I believe the words of you rich boys?"

Li Lan said, "If people can be simply categorized and then labeled, you can naturally disbelieve me." ”

He has always suspected that Gao Siqi, who he saw at night, was not alone at all from during the day.

Gao Siqi raised his glass, "Then I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you. After Li Lan finished drinking, he poured himself another glass, and then picked up a piece of braised pork.

After Gao Siqi finished drinking, he took a deep breath, as if he needed to muster up enough courage to speak.

"I'm not stupid, you're dealing with me, maybe pity me, maybe you can pass the time," she paused, "I can feel it, don't you think I'm not a good girl?"

Li Lan really wanted to reply ruthlessly, whether it was good or not, what did it have to do with him?

He's not that mean.

"You think about it too much, my friends are like this, I will hand over what comes here, I don't care if I don't come here, what you say is purely thinking too much. ”

Gao Siqi gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I told you that I didn't have friends, do you believe it or not?"

Li Lan said, "What is there to believe in this. ”

He didn't have friends himself.

Gao Siqi looked at him like this, didn't expect him to understand the meaning of her words, sighed and said, "My biggest mistake is to know you on such an occasion, it's quite tragic, isn't it?"

Li Lan smiled, he didn't understand what he meant anymore and he was a fool.

Holding up his glass, he drank it first, "I apologize to you." ”

Gao Siqi smiled and asked, "What do you apologize to me for? You don't owe me." ”

Li Lan said, "You can eat some food, don't talk patronizingly." ”

Gao Siqi filled Li Lan's cup and said very seriously, "Will you look down on me?"

Li Lan said, "This is even more clueless." ”

Gao Siqi said, "Don't you think I'm deliberately approaching you?"

Li Lan didn't know whether to praise her for being smart or appreciating her sincerity.

There are many people who deliberately approach him, but the only one who can succeed without causing him to hate is the one in front of him.

Li Lan smiled, "I'm just an ordinary person. ”

Gao Siqi said, "When I grow up, it seems that not many people will care about whether I am happy or not, and everyone only looks at whether I am good or not. I hate the world, it's not cute at all. ”
