37 Chapter 37
At seven o'clock, the new TV in Aunt Li Mei's commissary was still playing CCTV's news broadcast, but there were already several rows of people sitting in front of her, some were watching attentively, some were chatting, some were eating melon seeds, and some children were running around on the side. Aunt Li Mei saw that Mrs. Wu, who lived at the end of the street, was holding a cigarette gun in one hand and a cane in the other, and she also came tremblingly, and hurriedly went out to support her and let her inside.
Mrs. Wu is an old widow, her two sons have died on the battlefield before, and now she is alone, she is very kind, and occasionally she will come to sit in Aunt Li Mei's commissary. When Anna saw her coming, she hurriedly got up and gave up her chair to Mrs. Wu, and sat down on a low stool in the corner next to her. Mrs. Wu was usually very good to Xiao Ni, Xiao Ni stood on the side, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a chocolate in her coat pocket, handed it to Mrs. Wu, and said, "Grandma Wu, you eat chocolate!"
"What force?"
Mrs. Wu didn't hear clearly.
"Milk chocolate! foreign sugar! delicious!"
"Hey, Xiaoni is such a good child, such a high-grade candy, grandma doesn't eat it, you eat it yourself!"
"It's okay, grandma, you can eat one, I still have a lot!" said as he peeled off the golden candy paper and sent it to Mrs. Wu's mouth. Mrs. Wu opened her mouth and ate it.
"It's so sweet! Thank you, little girl, where did you get it?"
"Captain Lu at the police station asked my cousin to bring it to me. β
"Ouch, Captain Lu is so good to you......"
The old and the young were talking, Anna was sitting in the corner, looking at the very young announcer Luo Jing cut out on the TV screen, when it was lively, Aunt Li Mei looked up and saw another person coming, so she hurriedly greeted again: "Captain Lu, why are you here? Sit down and watch TV!"
When the people on the side saw him coming, they turned their heads to greet him in various ways, Lu Zhongjun had a smile on his face, and after saying hello, his eyes looked at Anna who was sitting in the corner.
Anna was still looking at Luo Jing on TV.
"Captain Lu, you're a busy man, do you have something to do? What's going on with lightning these days, don't talk about this dog, it's really smart, and it's a little reluctant to leave, it's a pity, my yard is too small. Aunt Li Mei asked.
Aunt Li Mei's yard was too small, and she didn't have much time to take Lightning out for a walk, so she locked it in the yard all day long, Anna felt that Lightning was quite pitiful, and even seemed to be a little depressed, so she asked Aunt Li Mei to send Lightning back to Lu Zhongjun.
Lu Zhongjun sighed, "It's okay...... I just heard that your family bought a new color TV, so let's take a look ......"
"Yes, even you know it!" Aunt Li Mei felt very beautiful in her heart, "This TV is good, isn't it, I just bought it two days ago, and it's still my family...... Don't stand, come in and sit!"
"Don't come in," Lu Zhongjun waved his hand, "Can you call your Li Mei out, I have something to do with her." β
Aunt Li Mei was stunned, looked back at Anna, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
"It's a little thing, I need to ask her. Lu Zhongjun said vaguely.
Aunt Li Mei saw that he didn't look like he was here to find fault, so she relieved herself and turned her head to call Anna out.
Anna glanced at Lu Zhongjun, stood up lazily, and walked out.
Lu Zhongjun had already retreated to the side and quieted down a little.
"Why didn't you go?" Lu Zhongjun asked, "I can ......?"
"Alright," Anna interrupted, "I just don't want to go! After saying that, he turned around and went back, took two steps, and then turned around and said, "Oh yes, thank you for the chocolate, Xiao Ni likes it a lot." With that, he left him and went back.
"Uncle Lu, thank you for bringing me chocolate!
Xiao Ni finally saw Lu Zhongjun outside, and hurriedly ran out to thank him.
Aunt Li Mei glanced at Lu Zhongjun, who was talking to Xiao Ni from a distance, and asked Anna in a puzzled whisper, "What is Captain Lu looking for you?"
"It's just a little thing," said Anna, "and the other day he asked me to tutor the daughter of the deputy county magistrate Wang, and that's it." β
Aunt Li Mei nodded.
After the news broadcast, there was a TV that Xiaoni wanted to watch, and she came back after saying thank you to Lu Zhongjun. Anna glanced at Lu Zhongjun and saw that he had been standing there alone for a while, and finally turned and left.
β¦β¦
After so many months of correction, Xu Bing's dyslexia has improved a lot, and his grades have improved a lot recently. After the last class a few days ago, Anna gave Xu Bing a set of exercises that he made up by herself, so that he could go back and continue to practice when he had time, and come back to himself if there was a problem, and the matter would be over for the time being. The next day was Sunday, and I told Wang Huili that I was going to tutor her, and I told Aunt Li Mei that she might not come back in a few days, and she went out at seven o'clock. Not far after going out, I saw Lu Zhongjun's car parked on the side of the road and walked straight over.
Lu Zhongjun honked his horn. Anna glanced at him, opened the car door and went up.
Lu Zhongjun was a little surprised and turned around.
"Aren't you waiting for me?" Then I'll go down!"
"Don't! How dare you! Even if your eldest lady is willing to give me this face, I can't ask for it. Gone!"
Lu Zhongjun looked quite happy and hurriedly drove forward.
"Slow down, go over, go over again, yes, stopβ"
As the car passed the bus station, Anna commanded Lu Zhongjun to stop at the gate of the bus station. Lu Zhongjun was a little dazed, but he still did as she was told. Waiting for the car to stop, Anna opened the door and shouted to several passengers who were waiting to go to the county seat: "Captain Lu is just going to the county seat, saying that if any of you want to go, you can take his car for free!"
There were five or six people waiting inside, and when they heard this, they all ran out in an uproar and expressed their gratitude to Lu Zhongjun.
Lu Zhongjun looked embarrassed and couldn't speak with his mouth open.
"Thank him for what," said Anna, as she picked up an old lady in her arms, "sit down." Captain Marine's duty to serve the people. The car is empty anyway, and it's just right to take you there, so you don't waste gas money. β
"Ouch, thank you, Captain Lu, what a good captain for our people! Thanks to you, I can take a free car today. β
The old lady sat down and said happily.
The remaining few people were afraid that there would be no place, so they also squeezed and climbed in, and in a blink of an eye, the remaining places were filled.
"Ouch girl, you have no place, or you will squeeze with usβ" cried the old lady.
"It's not safe to overload. I'm fine! Young, just take the bus in the station!"
Anna closed the car door and said with a smile.
Lu Zhongjun stared at Anna, who waved at him and turned his head into the station.
"Captain Lu, why don't you drive yet?"
An old man in the passenger seat urged.
Lu Zhongjun withdrew his gaze from staring at Anna's back and stepped on the accelerator. With a bang, the body of the car trembled slightly.
"This little car is different!" the old man in the front row praised, "Strength is enough!"
β¦β¦
Anna arrived in the county seat later and came to Sister Hu's house. Sister Hu and Wang Huili were waiting, and when they saw Anna coming, they hurried to greet them.
"Li Mei, I'm really embarrassed, I want you to come to the door yourself. Next time, I'll let Wang Huili go to your side. β
"It's okay," Anna laughs, "it's better to let Huili study in her own familiar environment." I have a noisy milk station there, and the place where I live is small, which is not suitable for classes. β
Sister Hu thanked her repeatedly. Anna greeted her and went to her room with Wang Huili to tutor her in English. After a two-hour class, I took a ten-minute break in the middle, talked with her, and when I came out, it was almost noon, and I saw Lu Zhongjun sitting in the living room, with two long legs stretched out, looking bored, and when I saw Anna and Wang Huili coming out, I immediately jumped up from the sofa.
Sister Hu was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard the sound, she came out to leave Anna to eat, but Anna refused, and Sister Hu couldn't keep her, so she had to send her away. Lu Zhongjun immediately followed.
"Hey, Xiaojun, didn't you say you would eat at my place?"
"I don't eat it. β
"I've cooked all the riceβ"
"Leave me behind!"
Sister Hu watched the two of them go down the stairs one after the other, standing at the door, and laughed to herself.
"Mom, what are you laughing at?" asked Wang Huili.
"Little children, don't be nosy!"
"Isn't it just that my brother Lu likes Sister Li Mei and wants to pursue her!"
"Hey, you kid!
"Who is talking nonsense!" Wang Huili pursed her lips, "I'll tell your mother, I know everything! Brother Lu rarely came to our house once a year ago, and at the end of last year, you asked your father to come to our house for the New Year, and he didn't come." At this time, as long as Sister Li Mei comes, he will definitely come with him, and the last time he watched the movie, he wanted to send me away, and gave me back ......"
Wang Huili suddenly closed her mouth.
"What did you get?"
"Nothing!"
Wang Huili grinned, turned around and ran into the room.
β¦β¦
Deputy County Magistrate Wang's house lives on the fourth floor. As soon as Sister Hu's door closed, Lu Zhongjun stepped down in a few steps and caught up with her.
"Li Mei, you're not kind in the morning!" Lu Zhongjun's expression still looked quite depressed, "When I arrived at the county seat, that old lady still insisted that I send her directly to her daughter's house, I thought it wasn't far, good guy, I actually drove out more than twenty kilometers, forty or fifty kilometers back and forth!"
"You deserve it!" Anna scoffed, "let your bus be used for private purposes! Is there anyone like you who is so proud of socialism? It is better to serve the people!"
"Am I this person? I drive this car, and I have a subsidy for the fuel money every month!" Lu Zhongjun shouted, "You eat at least ten liters of oil from me in the morning, do you know?"
"Do you want me to compensate you, Captain Lu?"
Lu Zhongjun glanced at Anna and suddenly smiled evilly.
Anna stopped and looked at him defensively.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You don't have to pay for the oil money, you owe me a movie last night, and this morning, I suffered a loss, it's okay, you owe me two movies." You said to yourself, when will you accompany me to see it?"
"Fuck off!" Anna gave him a blank look and continued down the stairs, "Next life, you!"
Just at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, Lu Zhongjun reached out and pressed against the wall, blocking Anna in the corner.
"Don't be crazy, give you three points of color and you'll open a dye shop, right?
"Not going!" Anna dismissed.
Lu Zhongjun stared at her, and his face gradually became ugly.
"What do you want to do?" Anna whispered, "It's all county residents." Anyway, I don't know anything, you can do it yourself. β
At this moment, there was a sound of climbing stairs and talking behind him, and Lu Zhongjun quickly took his hand away and turned his face.
Deputy County Magistrate Wang was coming up with his secretary, and when he saw Lu Zhongjun and Anna at the corner of the second floor, he sighed.
Anna hurriedly explained, saying that Wang Huili had just come down after counseling in the morning, and the army on the side had left together along the way.
Deputy County Magistrate Wang showed a smile on his face, nodded, said that Anna had worked hard, and then greeted Lu Zhongjun and said, "I was looking for you, go, follow me." β
"Don't," Lu Zhongjun refused, "What's the matter?"
"Work matters! And you, Li Mei, also go up to eat together and then leave!"
Anna hurriedly excused herself, saying that she had something else to do. Deputy County Magistrate Wang agreed and continued to go up to his home. After walking a few steps, seeing that Lu Zhongjun did not follow, he stopped and turned his head: "What's the matter? Come on! I want to talk to you about something very important!"
Lu Zhongjun showed a slightly annoyed expression, glanced at Anna, who had already gone down to the first floor, and slowly followed Deputy County Magistrate Wang up again.
β¦β¦
A few days later, Anna called Da Song to accompany her to the processing factory.
It's been March now. The weather is also starting to get warmer. Anna knew that she would definitely have to leave in a few months, and it was difficult to say whether she would return or not, and the contract signed with the county would expire early, so she began to consciously cultivate Da Song now, so that he could continue to work on the milk station instead of herself in the future. Da Song is not only hard-working, but also has a flexible brain, and Anna feels quite reliable.
When he came back from the processing plant, Zhao Zhongfen said: "Sister Li Mei, a man came to look for you, I said you weren't there, he said wait, and he entered your office, and I couldn't stop it." β
Anna immediately thought of Lu Zhongjun.
Last Saturday he forced her to watch a movie, and Anna hesitated and decided to ignore him.
She bet he was just intimidating herself. Even if she didn't go, he would find it, and it wouldn't really be good. Unless he really doesn't want to mess around in Redstone Well.
She really hit with one blow, and Lu Zhongjun lost her original arrogance after she showed her indifferent attitude.
Grabbing this vein of his, Anna suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. When I meet him again, my heart is not as bottomless as it was at the beginning.
After the separation last Sunday, she had been living in the county for the first two days and had not seen him again. At this moment, I suddenly heard him coming again, and he was still in his office, and he felt a little frustrated, but it seemed that there was some other subtle emotion. After straightening his mood, he walked in, and saw a shiny man with combed hair sitting in it reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, and was stunned.
Teacher Li Mei ...... Oh no, I should call you Comrade Li Mei, you have resigned from the Agency Primary School!"
The man heard footsteps, looked up and saw Anna coming in, quickly put down the newspaper and stood up with a smile to greet him.
"I'm Liu Zhe, Liu Zhe, director of the County Cultural Palace, we met once in the car last time, and I still have an impression?"
