Chapter VI
In the evening, Dr. Zhou came to check Chen Yeping as usual. Dr. Zhou checked his leg, and when everything was done, he said, "The recovery is good, don't do strenuous exercise for a while now, so as not to recur the injury." After that, he packed his emergency box.
Li Bo thanked him again and again, and asked Dr. Zhou to go downstairs for a snack.
People who are doctors seem to have a smell of disinfectant water wherever they go, and after Dr. Zhou and Li Bo went out, Chen Yeping couldn't bear it anymore and opened the window for ventilation. A locust tree in front of the building is blooming, and a street lamp is lit beside it.
Chen Shuyi's study has been lit since the evening, and the dim light shines on the lattice window, so you don't have to think about it to know that he is busy with official business. Chen Yeping walked out of this small building and came all the way to Chen Shuyi's office. As soon as he walked outside the door, he heard Chen Shuyi's voice calling inside, his voice low and intermittent......
Chen Yeping directly pushed open the door and walked in, Chen Shuyi saw that his younger brother had entered the study without saying hello, and he was a little frightened, so he quickly covered the microphone and said, "Go out, don't affect me." ”
Chen Yeping shook his head, walked onto the sofa, and took a newspaper in his hand. Chen Shuyi quickly finished talking on the phone and said, "Let's do this today." After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuyi asked Chen Yeping, "What's the matter?" Don't you see that I have a job?"
Chen Yeping frowned and said, "You work so late every day, why don't you worry about your body." ”
Chen Shuyi suddenly felt fresh, raised his right eyebrow and said: "Today's sun is out in the west, and I suddenly care about your eldest brother - if you really think so, then you can go home to help, and let your father worry." ‘
Chen Yeping cleared his throat and only said: "Spare me, I'm not a businessman, seeing those audits is enough to make my head big." There's a big brother here anyway. ”
Chen Shuyi only said: "My father has long said that you will go into the bank to help...... Chen Yeping turned the newspaper to the reverse side and sighed: "He always wants to train me to be the same as you, but it is impossible for two identical oranges to fall from an orange tree, let alone two living people." ”
Chen Shuyi only glanced at him, and asked solemnly: "Then what do you want to do, spend your whole life in the social field and forget to return?"
Chen Yeping looked into his eyes and said, "I told my eldest brother before. ”
Chen Shuyi leans back in a leather chair. It was as if the memories were spinning in his head. Chen Yeping's dark eyes were staring at him tightly at this time. Chen Shuyi only said after a while: "You have to know that my father is a businessman, so I shouldn't agree......"
Chen Yeping seemed to have known the answer a long time ago, patted his legs and stood up, stretched his waist and said, "Then I'll go to the dance hall to dance." He walked to the door and walked along with an apple in the bowl. Chen Shuyi was sorting out the documents on the table, shook his head and said, "I just went out to mess around...... Stinky boy. And he said, "Close the door!"
The night was thick, and the moon hung on the top of the window, like a night pearl. He pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case in the drawer and lit a match. Smoke curls out of his mouth. His eyes were long immersed in the long dark night outside the window.
The driver drove down the hill at 6am. Chen Yeping didn't seem to wake up, leaning his head on the soft back and napping with his eyes closed. Although the main roads down the mountain are paved, some of the small roads are still dirt and gravel roads, and the cars clatter, and the people in the cars are shaking unconsciously.
After eight o'clock, the sun hit the car window, Chen Yeping frowned, squinted and looked straight ahead. At the entrance of the city of Fulin, there were police officers who were checking, and the people passing by were allowed to hurry over, but the cars that followed were strictly checked, and it was obvious that they were looking for someone.
In a car in front of them, the police poked into the window and talked to the driver for a long time, and then took the pass to look at it again, so it was a waste of ten minutes, I don't know what was still inked, and it still didn't put the grille.
A policeman in front of him came over and saluted the car, the driver got out of the window, and the policeman looked at the license plate, and when he saw the people inside, he said with a smile: "Chen Ershao, where did this come from so early?"
Chen Yeping looked at the face of this policeman, it was a little unfamiliar, but his bank still had some dealings with the police department, and then he said angrily: "It's not early in the morning to go down the mountain from Chenghu to see my father-what are you doing in front of you, I don't let go of the car, I'm impatient to wait." ”
The policeman just said, "It's fine, so let's go first." A whistle hung on the policeman's chest, and with a wave of his hand, the wooden quinoa fence on the right side opened. The driver then turned around and drove over.
When I arrived in the city, it was the same as usual. Some people are rushing to pull the stalls, some people are selling breakfast, especially the hot fried fragrance can waft out of a long street, this stall selling breakfast is at the corner, the boss is cleaning up things, it looks like the stall is about to close.
Chen Yeping suddenly asked the driver to stop, stepped out, and said to the driver: "You go back and tell your wife first, and I will go back in a while." ”
The driver could only nod and drive the car home first.
Chen Ye staggered to the breakfast stall, and the boss raised his head and said, "This son, it's almost sold out early......
There is still half a bowl of tofu brain left in the pot on the stall, and there are only five left. The boss said: "There are still a few pieces of bean cake cake and bean paste filling, all of which were made by my wife last night, do you want to eat them?"
Chen Yeping looked around, and he asked for half a bowl of tofu brain, four bean cakes, and a plate of five fried tofu.
The boss wiped the table and brought the plate of pancakes to the table. By this time there were already many people in the streets, and the women came home with baskets full of vegetables, and the stalls were set up. Not far away, dozens of windmills are stuck on one side of the stall, gently turning in the breeze in the sun.
When he took a bite of the raw frying, the soup flowed out and stained his mouth full of oil, but the raw fried was extremely delicious. It's not yet nine o'clock, and my father has already gone to work at this time, and my mother is almost up at this time. He carried the bag in his hand and walked home.
The shops on the street are only open, and the morning is still a little cold, so it is warmer than the city in the mountains, even though it is sunny these days.
When I got home, it was Zhao's mother who came out and opened the door, and she said excitedly: "The driver didn't see the second young master as soon as he came back, and Mrs. asked me to wait here, so that you can go and see her when you come back." ”
Chen Yeping changed his shoes, knowing that his mother was so anxious because he was worried about him, so he didn't ink and went straight up the stairs. Mother Zhao said: "Second young master, Mrs. is in the flower hall." ”
Chen Yeping agreed and went in the direction of the flower hall behind. Before he could take a step, he was stopped by a voice behind him: "Second Young Master, are you back so early?"
The fifth aunt was wearing a brocade cheongsam, her leather shoes were clattering on the floor, and her steps were fast, so she walked towards him.
Chen Yeping called out with a smile: "Fifth mother, why did you get up so early today?"
The fifth aunt always plays mahjong with a group of aunts and wives all night, and she doesn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning. The fifth aunt sighed, waved her handkerchief, and said, "I'm very idle alone, and yesterday the team of card players rushed to the theater and went to bed early." I'm not going to go to the tailor's shop to make a dress, I ask you, why are you the only one who came back, your eldest brother?"
Chen Yeping said: "Big brother will come back in a few days. The fifth aunt said with a "hey" and said, "Your eldest brother is really busy for this family, and you haven't come back to help." Chen Yeping just frowned and said, "Fifth mother, why do you all say that." The eldest brother said the same. ”
The fifth aunt said: "Yo, after all, you two brothers, the master is old, it shouldn't be the time for you to work together-"
Chen Yeping didn't want to hear this anymore, the fifth aunt was too good at observing words and feelings, and said, "I know you don't like to listen...... However, the fifth mother told you that after the master knew that you fell and injured yourself on the mountain, he said that he would not allow you to continue to mess around like this for several days. Chen Yeping thought for a while, lifted the bag containing the tofu brain in his hand, and said, "Fifth mother, I have to send my mother early, otherwise it will be cold." The fifth aunt's handkerchief flew twice in the air and said, "Go, go, go." ”
The fifth aunt turned around and walked out the door as she spoke, her back curled up, and the brocade red cheongsam set off her snow-white skin.
Mrs. Chen was basking in the sun in the flower hall, as if she was tired, and Zhao's mother covered her with a blanket. When Chen Yeping came in, Mrs. Chen opened her eyes as if she could sense it. He called out "Mother".
Mrs. Chen looked at him from head to toe from the recliner, Chen Yeping only put the packed breakfast on the coffee table, opened it and said, "I bought you tofu brain, eat a little?"
Mrs. Chen just stood up, dressed in a regular plain robe up to her ankles, staring at him left and right: "Let me see, is it hurt anywhere else?" Mrs. Chen touched his cheek. In order to reassure his mother, Chen Yeping raised his leg to show her and said, "Isn't it all right for me." ”
Mrs. Chen patted him and said angrily, "I really don't want to worry about it." Chen Yeping snorted and removed the chair for his mother.
Mrs. Chen sat down and sneered, "I haven't eaten it for many years." I tasted it and said, "It's still the same taste, I'm really nostalgic." ”
Chen Yeping pulled a chair and sat down, only opened the few pieces of bean cake cake, handed it to his mother, and ate one for himself. When he saw that his mother was happy to eat, he exclaimed, "It's delicious." ”
Mrs. Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't you like to eat cakes?" Chen Yeping smiled: "The taste will change." ”
The two of them were eating, the morning light was about to be exhausted, and when it was almost ten o'clock, Zhao's mother walked in and said, "The master said that he won't come back for lunch." Mrs. Chen held the cup, the aroma of a handful of flower tea was clear, she put down the cup and said, "Then let the kitchen prepare a little simpler, and we can eat a little as you like." ”
Chen Yeping sat with his mother for an hour, listening to what his mother asked him, he didn't answer a word - he only felt a little bored staying in the flower hall. At this time, I heard Zhao's mother say that my father would not come back at noon, and the anxiety that had been hanging over my head since the morning suddenly fell. He stood up suddenly, and Mrs. Chen looked up and asked him, "Where are you going?"
Chen Yeping put on his coat and wanted to get his mother's consent, "I have a classmate from other places, and I will go to Liuyang next month and hold a party, I can't go if I don't go." ”
Mrs. Chen glared at him and asked him when he would come back, and he said it was night. Mrs. Chen knew that it was useless for her son to run around and stop, so she just thought: "Blame me for spoiling you since you were a child, and eight horses can't stop you." There was a tone of remorse in his mouth, but there was still a smile on his face.
Chen Yeping gave his mother a big hug, and kissed his mother's right cheek before leaving, saying, "Mother is the best." ”
Who knew that as soon as he arrived in the hall, with long hair and a shawl, and a green dress wrapped around his shoulders, Tang Qi was looking at several murals in the room.
He walked step by step, Tang Qi happened to turn around, Chen Yeping said with a smile on his face: "Rare guest, you came to me for coffee?" Tang Qi's exposed slender calves took two steps forward, she carried a bag, put her hands in the middle, tilted her head and said: "I won't look for you again, I'm afraid you will even forget my name-" At this time, she found that he was holding a pair of sunglasses in his hand, Chen Yeping said: "How come, I still plan to call you out to dance in two days." ”
Tang Qi looked at him and said, "Where are you going?" Chen Yeping didn't hide it: "Go to Min'en, Wu Zhenzhen is going to have a party tonight, don't you know?"
Tang Qi and Wu Zhenzhen used to be classmates in the same academy, but they didn't have much intersection, and there seemed to be some estrangement. Tang Qi thought for a while, raised his face and said, "What, is she very familiar with you?" Without waiting for him to say anything, Tang Qi said again: "Then you don't have to change the day, you invite me to dance today, let's go." ”
said that he naturally wrapped around one of his arms, and Chen Yeping didn't care about letting her hold his arm. Outside, the driver was napping with his head propped up. Chen Yeping knocked on the window, but the driver was still awake while asleep, and immediately opened his eyes and started the car.
Chen Yeping opened the door for Tang Qi, let her in first, and opened another door to sit in.
