Chapter 53 Wenchuan Earthquake

It's really been a long time since I've played, and I feel hard to bounce and dunk, and I'm tired after a few runs, grabbing the ball, and throwing blue.

I think you have to play a lot.

It was a little difficult to get up the next day, so I got up early and ran for a walk, took a hot shower, and then lay down in bed to read and rest.

On May 12th, I didn't go to work for long in the afternoon, and suddenly the power went out!

"At 14:28:04 on May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, causing serious casualties and damage, and now there is a three-minute silence for the victims"

The whole workshop was silent, a needle could be heard on the ground, and everyone was shrouded in a sad atmosphere. The first thing that came to my mind was Zhong Mingming, who was from Sichuan, and I wonder if his family was affected by the disaster? He worked the night shift, so I wonder if he knows the situation now.

I was a little worried, but he came quite early for the evening shift.

I couldn't wait to ask him, and he said it was okay. His home is in Ya'an, almost 400 kilometers away from the Wenchuan earthquake area;

A week later, the company organized a fundraiser, and I donated 50, but my ability was limited, and Yu Ce also donated 50.

They have talked about it, and they don't know if the money donated will reach the people in the disaster area.

Yu Ce and I thought that this was not something we could control, we just did what we could.

The first time I, Yu Ce, Ali, Xiao Zhu and Xiong Li ate together, it was a day off.

We first went to the supermarket together, bought some drinks and snacks, and bragged and ate on the factory lawn.

I saw that Xiong Li was a little embarrassed and unnatural, but Yu Ce and Xiong Li were nothing like that, and Xiong Li even teased.

Xiong Li: Xiao An, you didn't agree when I chased you, I am nine years older than you, and I can take care of people better than Yu Ce!

Yu Ce: I will too, whether I will take care of people is not judged by age;

Xiao Zhu: I agree with this point, look at how well our sister Huanmei (Ali's nickname) is taken care of by me.

Yu Ce: Although boys are three years later than girls, I happen to be three years old, so she and I are the same age!

He still looked at me with gentle eyes.

I smiled in response.

Ali: Ann, it's been a long time since I've heard you play the guitar.

Me: I'm feeling a little rusty myself, so you wait for me to go back and get my guitar.

Yu Ce: Do you want me to go with you?

Xiong Li: Don't be reluctant to part for a minute, you have to go with people to the girls' dormitory, is it convenient?

Me: I'll go alone and I'll be back soon.

Xiong Li laughed at Yu Ce again, it was good that they could joke like this! Although Yu Ce explained to me that it was true that Xiong Li asked him to pass on the message to ask me out, but he liked me first. I'm still angry, obviously I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't have anything to do with Xiong Li, but I just mind a little, and now I can rest assured to see them get along like this.

I came back with the guitar, we played and sang together, so unhappy and happy, at this moment I will think that I will be so happy every day in the future, there are friends to talk to, and there is leisure time.

The salary was paid in June, and Yu Ce accompanied me to send the money home.

Yu Ce: You are different from what I think.

Me: Oh, what's the difference? What's the difference?

Yu Ce: When I first saw you, you were optimistic and had dreams; after this time with you, I found that you were also sentimental, you not only had dreams, but also carried the dreams of your family! It was very hard for my sister to study! No wonder you were very strong and capable!

Me: No, my sister is not my support, I just give her some living expenses. Be strong, you can only rely on yourself when you are outside, of course you have to be strong!

Yu Ce: Rely on me, I will be strong for you!

I looked at Yu Ce and said firmly like a military order, I think I am happy, in addition to my relatives, there is one more person who is good to me, and I also want to treat him well.

Yu Ce: Let's go to the mall!

Me: No, you don't have anything to buy, we might as well go to the park, I heard that there is a park near China Resources that is not bad!

Yu Ce: Yes, we'll go to the park later, let's go to the mall first and buy you a dress!

I never thought that anyone but myself, my parents, and my mother would want to buy clothes for me, and it was a boy, as my boyfriend.

I still remember that I was happy for a long time when Yin's mother bought me clothes, and I am still very happy when I think about it now.

Me: I have a lot of clothes, I don't need to buy them, and I just wear factory clothes in the factory every day!

Yu Ce: It's different, you can wear it when you're not at work! And I'll buy you a dress as a gift as your boyfriend, don't refuse my heart!

Me: Alright then!

He took me by the hand and took the elevator, and on the elevator I saw Zhong Ming holding a girl, it should be his girlfriend, it was the kind of bird that looked like a human, I liked it when I saw it. I wanted to say hello, but he didn't seem to see me, and his raised hand was slightly embarrassed. Looking at Yu Ce's expression again, it is not as gentle as getting along with Xiao Zhu Xiongli.

He also didn't look like he saw Zhong Mingming, in my opinion, everyone is colleagues, and working together is naturally more easy-going and gentle. The two of them seemed to be strangers they didn't know, and I didn't think about saying hello or saying anything to Yu Ce anymore, I raised my hand and grabbed Yu Ce's arm, and he looked down at me and smiled.

Yu Ce chose a plaid shirt and a pair of washed jeans for me, which is the style he wears, and I like it too. After buying clothes and coming out, we walked to the piano shop, and the sun was shining, and he obviously remembered me.

Sunshine: Long time no see!

Me: Long time no see, business is booming!

The greetings of old friends suddenly bring the memories back to a year ago; ignorant love, the joy of meeting a confidant.

Me: By the way, let me introduce you, this is Sunshine, the owner of this piano shop. Sunshine, this is my boyfriend Yu Ce.

Sunshine: Hello and guitar lover too?

Sunshine asked with a smile on her eyebrows.

Yu Ce: I don't know the guitar, I just like to listen to her play.

Sunshine: Oh, oh, yes!

Yu Ce: To die-hard fans!

Me: Haha, I just found out today that I also have fans!

Sunshine: I'm one too!

Me: Let's be a fan of each other, how about you show a song!

Sunshine: Yes!

As he spoke, he picked up his guitar.

Me: Biron's "Vast Seas and Skies"

Sunshine: Okay!

He came easily, the same song, the same place, the same good sound, but I no longer listen to the song wholeheartedly, I will want to observe Yu Ce's expression and guess whether he likes it or not.

At the end of the song, Sunshine handed me the guitar.

Sunshine: Here you go.

Me: Yes, but I don't think I've made any progress, so don't be too difficult for you to pick songs.

Sunshine: Yes, you have to be humble;

Me: Yo, I guess that's what you wanted.

Sunshine: yes, that's how to make sure you're making progress.

Me: It's my favorite song.

Yu Ce and Sunshine leaned back on the bar, far away from me, but luckily, I didn't have to be too nervous.

Yu Ce's eyes were gentle and expectant. Sunshine in the eyes of the sun with appreciation!

His guitar is just better than mine, the sound quality is very good! Very good! I was deeply attracted to playing it myself.

Sunshine: Yes, very emotional, it seems that you haven't practiced less.

Me: I just practiced a lot of this song.

Yu Ce: Xiao An, you learned your guitar from Teacher Sunshine!

Sunshine: She learned it secretly, and she learned it by watching me play it myself.

Yu Ce: Really, I haven't heard you say that!

Me: Actually, I just like it, it's more inspired!

Sunshine: If you get serious, that's amazing!

Me: Hey, hey, I'll just compliment me!

Sunshine: Of course I'm complimenting you, how about you sit down and make a pot of tea to drink?

Me: So laid-back?

Yu Ce: Xiao An, don't you still want to go to the park?

Yu Ce whispered to me.

Me: It's still early, let's sit down for a while and then go, if not, let's go another day, okay?

Yu Ce: It's good if you're happy.

Sunshine: What's the matter?

Me: No.

Sunshine: Okay, let's have tea if it's okay.

Sunshine beckoned us to sit at his coffee table.

Me: I remember the last time I came here around this time, and there were a lot of people at that time, and I saw that you were still teaching.

Sunshine: I have a day off today, and I'm going to close the store in a while.

Me: Oh, so you have something, so are we going to delay you?

Sunshine: It's okay, I still have the kung fu to have a cup of tea.

Me: Well, your life is comfortable, and I'll be content to be like you when I'm your age.

Sunshine: Not necessarily, in 10 years you'll have other things you want to do, and then you won't feel like this. It's good to meet you today, just to say goodbye to you!

Me: Farewell, where are you going, is your shop closed?

Sunshine: I've transferred the shop to my friend, I'm going back to my hometown, and my wife is about to give birth, and I will develop in the future on the Heyuan side.

Me: Wow, you're going to be a father!

Sunshine: Come and taste the tea kung fu of Heyuan.

Yu Ce: Thank you, but I haven't studied kung fu tea!

Sunshine: Oh, I thought you were Cantonese with your accent!

Yu Ce: No, at most half of it! I came here to study when I was in the second grade of primary school, and my hometown is from Zhejiang.

Sunshine: Come, you taste!

Sunshine poured the brewed tea into a small teacup and handed it to me, and I took it with both hands.

Me: Thank you!

Sunshine: Zhejiang is good, Jiangnan water town, my wife and I went to Hangzhou once.

Yu Ce: I'm ashamed, I haven't been to Hangzhou yet! I've been back here once, and it's the Chinese New Year, and I've only been to my grandmother's house in Lishui for a few days, and I've never been anywhere!

Sunshine: There's a lot of opportunity to go in the future.

Me: I don't know anything about tea, and I can't say why!

Sunshine: Just drink water, it's normal that you're still young and don't like this.
