(15) Youthful flying
Four days before the Chinese New Year, Wen Hui hurried up, angrily saying that the Dong family wanted to get married, Wen Zhu's heart sank when he heard it, so he asked Wen Hui to slowly tell the origin, Wen Hui told the ins and outs, Wen Zhu was much calmer.
Because Dong Mei was not involved in the whole incident, to put it bluntly, she was still in the dark, it was Dong Sanbao who wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and deliberately raised the gift money to scare the Wen family away.
Wen Hui saw that his brother was very anxious at first, but the more he spoke, the more anxious he became, the more relaxed he listened, "The emperor is not in a hurry to die of a eunuch", what kind of medicine does my brother sell in his heart?
"Brother, the Dong family is too bullying, what should we do?" Wen Hui couldn't wait to carry the * bag and die with the Dong family.
"'The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings', some people are snobbish and greedy for money, and some people are loyal and love talents. It's understandable for adults to think about their children, let him toss if he is willing to toss. The brother who is the brother will never let go, and the brother who is not the brother will never force it. In fact, Dong Mei and I have long had an agreement: when our family's debts are paid off, we will get married as soon as you graduate.
Speaking of Dong Mei, Dong Mei is one of the few in terms of family background and character, and she will never abandon our Wen family. This is probably also the magic of love, wind and rain can verify the quality of love, no matter how many difficulties are just a hurdle, cross the wind and sunshine, sunny. β
After listening to Wen Zhu's words, Wen Hui's heart brightened up a lot, remembered what happened in the morning, and immediately complained to his brother: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier." When I came up in the morning, Sister Mei greeted me, and I ignored her because of my anger, which made her angry. β
"You're rude, but you're not talking about my brother. Sister Mei is not a stingy ghost, don't worry about it, it won't be over if you go back another day to make amends. After saying that, Wen Zhu scratched his brother's nose, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the gloomy clouds dispersed in the sky above Wen Hui.
"Brother, I see that you are rarely panicked when you encounter something, are you so calm, is there a secret?" Wen Hui asked a personal question, and seemed to want to know the result.
"It's impossible not to panic, but panic doesn't help. It is impossible for people to be full of energy all the time, so they have to cheer themselves up often, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out. Mother is right, as long as you have spirit, there is no hurdle that you can't overcome. β
Wen Zhu said what he said was heartfelt, Wen Hui nodded when he heard it, the inside is better than the outside, and the internal strength has risen to another level.
Today is Thursday, there is no class, the brothers have dinner, and agreed to go to the door of Tianneng supermarket to distribute flyers.
The year is about three days away from the earth, but people have long smelled the breath of the year. The people on the street are either rushing home in a long way or buying New Year's goods.
The place where the steamed buns are processed is steaming, the red dots bloom like flowers, the steamed buns are like a doll that has won the prize, and the peaceful atmosphere is everywhere.
The streets are lit up with neon lights a little more than usual. The people eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are endless, the restaurant is full everywhere, and the boss's mouth has not closed at all recently.
Shopping malls and hypermarkets are overcrowded, and money is exchanged for adult goods, each taking what he needs. At this time, people suffered from hunger, and their purchasing power was amazing, and the supply of goods exceeded supply for many years.
Firecrackers and fireworks have also appeared one after another, and the prelude to the Spring Festival has been played.
Wen Zhu and Wen Hui stood at the entrance and exit of the supermarket, smiling, like doormen, sending hair when they saw people, most people would cooperate, and some people refused.
Hair and hair, Wen Hui muttered softly: "When will this be sent?" His hands are almost frozen, can he throw some away, no one knows anyway." β
"If you are afraid of the cold, you can go to the side to warm up, and you must not throw it away, we must be worthy of our conscience. People do things, and the sky is watching. There are some things, you are not afraid of the hands, as long as you persevere, you will enjoy the joy of success. "Wenzhu is colorful, being a man and doing things is a reason, and the most important thing is to insist.
Wen Hui stopped ringing, and for a while he went to the side to hehe his hand, and for a while he jumped back and forth in the air, increasing the heat, and the leaflets continued to be distributed to strangers.
In fact, the effect of distributing leaflets for advertising is not very good, maybe the cost is small, anyway, it is not something that Wenzhu considers.
Wenzhu only cares about handing out leaflets, and when he sees people, he sends them, and sometimes he doesn't see the other party's face clearly, and the flyers are distributed in the hands of others.
At this time, a girl stood in front of Wenzhu, holding a leaflet, and did not leave for a long time, Wenzhu didn't care, just changed someone, and sent it over again, without raising her head.
Wen Hui felt a little strange, and carried Wen Zhu on his shoulder, Wen Zhu raised his head and exclaimed in surprise; "Why are you, Xiaoxiao!"
"Teacher, I'm waiting for you to send out the third flyer. I'd like to see how focused you are, and you won't be able to lift your noble head until the first few shots. Xiaoxiao quipped: "Who is this handsome guy next to him, younger than the teacher." β
Wen Hui was a little embarrassed to say this to her, and smiled shyly: "My name is Wen Hui, and Wen Zhu is my brother." β
Although Xiaoxiao is only in the second year of junior high school, he is nearly 1.6 meters tall, wearing a black windbreaker in the wind, he is quite cold and glamorous in the wind, and he came to the supermarket to shop today, and inadvertently saw the Wenzhu brothers.
"Thank you very much for your support of the teacher's work, and thanks to your presence, I can go home in about a second or two tonight. β
Wen Zhu's humor made Wen Hui and Xiao laugh. Xiaoxiao went to the side of the road and said a few words to the driver of the luxury car, and the car disappeared into the neon night after a while.
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of heartbeat are you playing?" asked Wen Zhu puzzled.
"I'll stay with you to hand out flyers, and the girl who handed out the flyers, Yu Xiaoxiao, is not as radiant. β
The small shape made Wen Hui smile and turn the sky, not Xi'er or Camellia Girl, his left hand bent at the waist, his right hand was unrestrained to the sky, as if he was grabbing something from the sky, his head leaned forward, his right foot turned backwards from the ground, the strap of the windbreaker fluttered with the wind, and his expression was condensed in the wind.
"This is the girl who handed out the flyers, it should be Caiyun chasing the moon, Chang'e running to the moon. Wen Hui's melancholy eyes shone brightly.
Wen Hui's compliment made Xiao Xiaofang's heart happy: "I can't see that you are very knowledgeable, have you ever learned to dance?"
Wen Hui touched his head and said shyly: "I stole peaches when I was a child. β
While learning to pick peaches, it was Xiaoxiao's turn to laugh. The laughter in the wind spreads farther, happiness is originally a part of youth, youth is invincible.
Maybe curious, maybe fresh, Xiaoxiao snatched a stack of leaflets from Wenzhu's hand and worked quite energetically. And the brain is very good, and there is one in each car crate in front of the supermarket. A small franchise has accelerated the process, and the work is not finished at eight o'clock.
There are also benefits to the New Year's Pass, just like this time, the income is double the usual amount. It is rumored that the river water will rise by three points during the New Year, and you can't be stingy if you earn sixty a night, Wenzhu bought three cups of bubble tea, seven and a half yuan and six yuan, and you can save one yuan is one yuan.
One cup per person, steaming, Xiaoxiao took a sip, the taste is quite strong, this is probably the cheapest hot drink Xiaoxiao has ever drunk, but the taste is definitely the happiest kind, happiness is like a pearl inside, one bite at a time, endlessly.
Everyone sat on the railing and watched people come and go, pointing and pointing, and the wind blew the flowers. The feeling of happiness is sometimes very simple, enjoying the fruits of one's labor, looking at the scenery on the side of the road, and saying something about youth with friends, maybe high-spirited, maybe insignificant.
Seeing that the time was still early, the three of them went to a nearby shopping mall, and they couldn't stop it when luck came, Wen Hui came across his long-favorite sneakers, probably because of the broken code, and they were discounted. Wen Hui tried it on, it was not too big or too small, there was no quality problem, and Wen Zhu paid without hesitation. Wen Hui lifted his shoes, was too excited, and asked what was fun?
Xiaoxiao proposed to go to the bar, she invited a treat, Wen Hui was in high spirits and tried his best to agree. Wen Zhu thought that Wenhui and Xiaoxiao were both students, and it would be better not to go to that kind of place, so if there was something tomorrow, it would be better to go home early and rest.
Xiaoxiao was not persistent, so he made a phone call, and it didn't take long for the luxury car to show up again.
"Teacher, please get in the car and send you back. β
For the small invitation, Wenzhu said: "Thank you, we have a car." β
Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Zhu in astonishment: "Where do you have a car?"
Wen Zhu pointed to a bicycle on the side of the road and said, "That's it, the 'Napoleon' brand, limited to two people." β
The leaflet that was inserted just now fluttered in front of the car faucet like a flag, and Xiaoxiao understood, but wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. There are many kinds of refusal, and one is witty, each to save face and not hurt dignity.
Xiao Xiao waved his hand and said goodbye sincerely: "Teacher, you are not much older than me, but you have taught me a lot." In the future, if you have such an opportunity, call me and let me let go of my mood a few more times. β
At this time, Wen Hui had extraneous branches: "Xiaoxiao, let me go up and sit for a while, just for a while." β
And looked at Wenzhu with pleading eyes, everyone has vanity and curiosity, and Wenzhu has no reason to stop him. Xiaoxiao opened the car door, Wen Hui went up to sit for a while, and got out of the car satisfied, only to know later that it was a BMW with a seven-figure start. Xiao Xiao rolled up the car door, and the dust was gone, inside and outside the car, two worlds.
Wen Zhu rode the car, Wen Hui sat in the back, shuttling through the streets and alleys, the two of them sang loudly, not in tune, like the drum, breaking a fatal hole, no matter how you knock it, it is a broken sound. It does not attract wolves, but drives away the cold.
Wen Zhu asked Wen Hui how he felt in a luxury car, Wen Hui was like a pig quitting eating ginseng fruit, he couldn't say why, but said Brother, you ride too bumpy, and your butt hurts.
Wen Zhu was angry, the brothers changed positions, Wen Hui was standing and riding, much faster, but he swam like a snake, and he was still a little floating in the wind, and from time to time he had the illusion of hitting a tree or a railing.
The two sang all the way to the factory, and the machines in the factory were still rumbling, and the people on the night shift were busy. The doorman was wearing an army green coat and leaning on the heater to nap, and when he saw that it was Wenzhu, his squinted eyes quickly closed and continued to nap, as if there was a gold bar waiting for him to pick up in a dream.
On the bed in the dormitory, Wen Hui was still trying on new shoes, and he wanted Wen Zhu to express his opinion.
Wen Zhuwo was too lazy to pay attention to him in the quilt, and suddenly Wen Hui threw out a topic nonsensically: "Brother, when can we afford that luxury car?"
This question is far enough to be placed on Mars, and Wen Zhu rarely thinks about things that are not boundary, so he casually responds: "Three hundred years." β
Wen Hui saw that his brother was not interested, so he fell silent. With his hands crossed behind his head, he leaned lightly against the wall, and above his head was Maggie Cheung's statue of a young girl, but his eyes were staring at the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands" on the opposite wall in a daze. Maybe it's thinking about the life of driving a luxury car, maybe it's a little youth, maybe it's a bigger dream, and it's hard to sleep.
On the morning of the lunar month, everyone wants to stay in the warm quilt for a while. The difference of five minutes is seven o'clock, the same hour has different views on different people, for the diligent people: ready to get up, for the lazy people: you can also squint for five minutes, a squint is often too much, the rush of things will come, the clothes are not just the common thing, the buttons are wrong, and it is inevitable that you will not eat breakfast.
Wenzhu belongs to a diligent person, in fact, he can't go to work, and it's a shame to live in the dormitory and be late. Looking at Wen Hui's sleeping appearance, Wen Zhukong was envious, and left him breakfast before going to work.
Today's things are so busy that people are choking, and it is to send year-end bonuses, and it is to distribute fruit benefits. There is a holiday on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and someone will set off on Chinese New Year's Eve about tomorrow. There is not much money, but the employees are looking forward to it, because it has been planned and can't wait.
Today is probably the busiest day for Wenzhu to enter the factory, in fact, the people in the financial department are like this, and all of them are dispatched. Sending fruit is actually the atmosphere of hair, a box of apples, a box of oranges, there are not many things and they are not valuable, it is to give people a festive New Year's feeling.
Wen Zhu still remembers the scene of dividing the fish when he was a child, and the fish that were separated from Dongjiawan were piled up in the empty community field, commanded by the captain, and the accounting was calculated, and the old and young masters of the whole village were looking forward to it.
The total number of catties of fish is divided by the total number of people in the village to calculate the share of each person, and then the share of each family is derived according to the number of people in each household. It's easy to say, but it's a lot of work to do. There are different kinds of fish, big and small, and some fish are still jumping, making children cheer. Some people go on the scales, some people use knives to cut, some people check, divide into hundreds of piles, the same share is lined up, and the pile number is marked.
For the sake of fairness, people with the same share have to draw lots, so that some people say that this is good and that is good, and when they draw a share that they are not satisfied with, they only blame themselves for their bad hands and complain about others. The "lot" is made of straw, the length is different, when the draw one end is flush, the other end is not visible in the hand of the person who grabs the "lot", and no words are allowed.
Cats can't smell fishy, there are always some odds in each pile, or head or body or tail, the fishy smell is heavier, as soon as the wind blows, the cat will "Mimi" uninvited, flowing endlessly in the pile.
People have to be distracted to rush, and there are always lucky guys, who run away with their mouths, and run up to the house to taste the deliciousness. The pieces that were taken were all small pieces, and the captain scolded at most twice: "Two dogs, watch tightly." "I won't think too much about it, and it's a personal matter to take it away after it's divided.
For this point, I have to be busy for most of the day, everyone gathers around, because of the festive end of the year, and there is no deliberate loss of time.
Wen Zhu and Wen Hui ran around as spectators, Wen Hui said excitedly while running: "There is Awu to eat! There is Awu to eat!" The milk voice was milky and cute, which attracted the mother to hug Wen Hui with milk fragrance and kiss him, Wen Hui was less than three years old at that time. Wen Zhu didn't care about Wen Hui's favor, and was playing with the kitten with a fish tail.
On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen Zhu went to the office to report and went to the countryside with Wen Hui. Those who are far away go first, and those who are close stay behind, which is the unwritten rule of the factory. The colorful flags fluttering at the factory gate, the gilded word "Spring Festival" was hung on the factory door, and the colleagues greeted each other: see you next year.
The factory is open for eight days, and the Spring Festival is a knot in every Chinese's heart, even if it is far away, you have to go home, because there is a concern at home.
In the past few days, the business of minibuses has been very good, the cars are full, and the wanderers who have returned to their hometowns have come in batches. The individual owners of the buses are naturally happy, and the price of the bus is no longer uniform in the past few days, one price in the morning, another price in the afternoon, and the price has risen to ten yuan a ticket or even higher on Chinese New Year's Eve.
In addition to muttering a few words, the people who got on the bus didn't care too much, they just wanted to get home early. There are too many people in the car, and you can not get on it if it is too expensive, and the owner of the bus is a cow in those days.
I usually drive a car in the city like a turtle crawling and puffing passengers, but now it is full of people, flying all the way, and the profit of one more trip is several times that of usual. It's delusional to get on the bus and want to find a seat, unless it's the starting station to get on the bus, then it depends on your quick eyes. Don't squeeze you into a photo, you can steal the fun if you have a place to stand.
The passengers in the car did not want to get on the people again, and the people under the car looked at him with pleading eyes, and once they got on the bus, he was the same as the people on the bus. Of course, the owner of the bus is as good as possible, and he can't wait to have Wukong's skills, so he blows people small, until they are the size of rapeseeds, and a car can carry a city, hehe, in a few days, he will be rich and rival the country, but it is just a fantasy.
You won't sweat when you're cold, it's just a little uncomfortable, and you can even feel the breath of the people next to you.
If the other party has bad breath and wants to escape but can't, he can only twist his neck as far away as possible, and after a long time of soreness, he will return to his original state and look at the person. That person is good, close his eyes and recuperate, in fact, life is not easy, a big man twisted into an S shape, if it weren't for the armrest, he would have fallen a long time ago, seeing this, his heart is naturally balanced.
Even pickpockets don't want to get into such a car, because there is really no room for it. The people who get on the car have some objects, big or small, maybe some have been with the owner for thousands of miles, bumps and bumps are inevitable, say hello and smile will be solved.
Some people say that it is not easy to squeeze in by train, and when you enter the closed carriage, the smell of mixing is really unpleasant. Sometimes your feet don't touch the ground at all, and most of them are levitating, which is probably how the hovering train came about.
Before going home for reunion, you have to suffer a sin, and the sin of looking forward to beauty is lighter and worth it.
The transportation department of the Spring Festival has never been completely solved, but fortunately, the people have never counted on them, and some things may develop to a certain extent and will be solved naturally, just like the growth of people, children and young people do not grow overnight.
When there are more people, safety naturally becomes a hidden danger, but the traffic police also turn a blind eye, and then offend others after receiving benefits, and they have to be ridiculed by passengers, which is not worth it. As long as there is no accident, there will be no incident, and if something happens, it will be reported in the news many times, and some people will be demoted and fined, and it will continue in the coming year.
Wen Zhu and Wen Hui finally squeezed into the car, eight yuan each, settled the New Year's goods, and did not speak, like tea soaked in water, but could not move. Just get to the station quickly, preferably at the speed of the rocket.
When the conductor called the station, the brothers quickly got off the train, and they didn't want to stay in the tank for a second, so that the people on the train continued to suffer. Exhaling vigorously and soothing their lower limbs, the brothers took their things and went straight to Dong Mei's shop.
The shop is also very busy, with some picking up clothes, some trying them on, and some modifying them slightly. Wen Hui didn't even have a chance to apologize, maybe Dong Mei had forgotten about it.
Seeing the Wenzhu brothers coming in, Dong Mei made eye contact and nodded to say hello. Seeing that he was busy, Wen Zhu didn't say much, and sat on a stool obediently, Wen Hui stood at the door and looked out, and the crowd on the street surged. Dong Mei took advantage of the gap to drink a few sips of tea, and at the same time beckoned to Wen Zhu, who had something to say, and stood up and paced.
"Ame, I have something to tell you. β
"Wenzhu, I have something to tell you. β
The two said the same thing almost at the same time, and the two were slightly stunned, looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as a reward for the heart.
"You speak first. The humble words sounded at the same time, and the two of them were happy, but they were affectionate and eager, and their emotions were surging. Tacit understanding is like two symmetrical leaves on a branch, you are my other half.
Wen Zhu felt that what the two of them were talking about was probably the same topic, since both parties already knew, they couldn't say it clearly for a while now, so it was better to wait for the garment store to close in the evening and talk about it in detail. Dong Mei also meant this, the two hit it off and agreed that Wenzhu would pick up Dong Mei at night.
A lover's glance is better than a panacea, Dong Mei's recent muscle soreness and fatigue flew out of her body with laughter, and she insisted on working with her will. Now it's good, refreshed, happy, far from decadence, and seems to have endless energy. It turns out that love is so wonderful, even a second of smile can make a qualitative leap in people's mental outlook.
"Women are happy for confidants", it is also true to think about it. Looking at Dong Mei's appearance as always, Wen Zhu blushed at his careful eyes, and selfishly thought that Dong Mei had changed her mind a little, which was actually unreasonable. With a few eye contacts, Wenzhu's selfish cautious eyes were smoothed out in a blink of an eye, and the jubilant heart wandered in the happy back garden, and the earth seemed to revolve around Wenzhu alone.
At this time, another person came, and the three masters and apprentices were very busy. Wen Zhu saw that he couldn't help, but got in the way, so he went to the street with Wen Hui to buy some Spring Festival couplets, the word "Fu" and other gadgets, and put them on the faΓ§ade.
Turning around and borrowing Dong Mei's "little donkey", the brothers walked away, and Dong Mei's voice came in the wind, "Come early in the evening", as if the exhaustion of leaving Wenzhu would hit again. Wen Zhu let out a "hmm" in the wind, and the sound was already a few hundred meters away.
