Chapter 7: City Girls

Last night, I suddenly heard the roar outside, and I knew that fireworks were set off again, so I hurriedly ran to the roof to see. The roof is bright, the moon is round, and the fireworks are quite beautiful, I haven't seen fireworks in Orange Island for a long time. After watching it for half a while, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I had to hurriedly run downstairs to buy something to eat.

There is a narrow path about 10 meters outside Tianma, which is full of various barbecue stalls, and the smoke is filled, which is particularly choking. But that still didn't stop a group of male and female students from gathering here, covering their noses and waiting for the food to come out.

After wandering around for a long time, I bought a few fried buns, a few toasted gluten, and a glass of lemon, and returned to the dormitory. Carrying a large bag and a small bag, I walked leisurely on the way back to the dormitory, and I was happy: ouch, life seems to be quite moist.

It was as if every food was carefully chosen, and in order to buy fried buns, I waited for the old lady for more than ten minutes, and several classmates waited for a while, but I couldn't wait anymore and left directly. In fact, this kind of fried bun is not the kind I really want: I want raw fried buns. The grandmother made this kind of steaming and then frying. Yes, it's been more than a year, and I can't forget the fried buns I ate in F City, as well as the bowl of beef vermicelli after the meal.

At that time, I was staying in an inn in the center of City F, and I got up very late every day, and when I came out, it was the national highway, and I didn't know where to eat. The proprietress looked a little cold, but she was also very helpful, and showed me where to eat. I walked through a neighborhood and came to a more prosperous road. I still remember that the first meal I had in F City was siu mai, and I didn't expect that the people there could also speak Mandarin. After eating the siu mai, I bought a pack of cigarettes on the road: soft white sand, only five yuan.

In the evening, I went to eat fried buns, and for another six yuan, I could buy a bowl of beef vermicelli soup, which was particularly delicious. I went for a few days in a row, and the owner was very familiar with me. Listening to him, his accent was very similar to my family, so I asked him: Are you from the north? He said: "I'm from Anhui, and I've been here for five years."

In the days when I was in F City, after eating at 11 o'clock in the morning, I went to find Girl F. Walk along the national highway for 10 minutes, turn right, and walk along Road F for 10 minutes to the F girl's house. Girl F was not at home, not for several days in a row. One day, I waited all day at the door of F's house, but the F girl never showed up, so I went to the F restaurant at the entrance of the community to drink. Probably the people in F City don't like to drink bars very much, and when I bought a bottle of liquor and put it there, the hostess was surprised. The proprietress is from Z City, many years ago, the Cultural Revolution cleaned up the intellectuals, and the family fled to F City. "I'm half of F-City, too. The proprietress said. The hostess doesn't seem to be quite like some of the people in F City and seems to be very helpful. She chatted with me while I was drinking. The boss knew that I was from Shandong, so he took out the treasured pickled garlic for me to eat. I asked the proprietress about the news of Girl F's house, and she ran out to ask the security guard, and came back to tell me: You wait until night, if the lights are turned on, you will know that someone is there. She also said: Maybe I will go back to the countryside at this time. After drinking, I went to Girl F's house and waited, and after waiting for a while, I fell asleep on the stone chair and was finally woken up by the security guard. He spoke the dialect of F-City, which I didn't understand, and finally changed to Mandarin. In the end, he said for a long time, he wanted to drive me away.

It was my third day in F City, and I was a little frustrated that I didn't see Girl F in the end. The proprietress of Restaurant F also wants the family to go to Gulangyu Island the next day. Before leaving, I handed the boss a cigarette and shook his hand: Thank you!

"She's probably gone to the country. "I think. Three years ago, she told me that she was with her grandmother all summer long.

I consoled myself, didn't I come to F City just to have fun? It didn't matter if I saw Girl F or not.

For the rest of the day, I spent the rest of the day in F-City walking around and traveling everywhere. I still remember many of the features of F City: bus stop signs showing the location of each car, walking down the road, steaming in the sewers, and at night, F Road is full of barbecues. I remember that the proprietress of F restaurant also said that F City is a place for rich people.

Seeing that the travel expenses were running out, I packed my bags, left City F, and transferred to City Z, where I was going to transfer home.

City Z is much bigger than City F, and I stayed for two days far from the train station. The hotel is very small, and the service attitude is much worse than that of F City.

When I got home last year, my grandmother stayed at my house, and when my parents weren't home, I asked my grandmother to help me make fried buns. Actually, we also have this kind of food in our area, but the name is "fried buns". Grandma's hands are very skillful, and it doesn't take long to roll out the wonton wrappers, then wrap them with meat filling, and fry them in a frying pan. Although the method is not as authentic as the fried buns made by Anhui people in F City, the taste is not bad at all.

When I think of the grilled gluten I bought last night, I always think of the grilled gluten I ate in J City two years ago. At that time, it was Y girl who invited me to eat, and she said: Grilled gluten is a famous food in J City, and you haven't even eaten it?!

I was traveling in J at that time, and fifteen days later, I met Y girl I hadn't seen in two years. She was working far away at the time, and I was very touched by the long car ride to the city. The two of us spent most of the day together at Lake M, and she took me to the snack street, where I ate all the snacks, and the most impressive thing for me was the grilled gluten and duck blood vermicelli.

I remember that at that time, she always rushed to pay, and said: You come to my city, of course you have to treat me!

When she went back that day, it was very overcast, and it was about to rain. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got on the bus, it rained heavily. I was very worried about her at the time, and I was not relieved until she arrived safely at work.

After that, I haven't seen Y girl again, and it's been almost two years now.

Later, I heard that she was going to City D, and it seemed that the next time I saw her, I would have to go to City D. I wonder if she will rush to pay at that time?

The raw fried buns and grilled gluten were quickly eaten, and the lemonade was quickly drunk by me. I'm still immersed in the memories of Girl F and Girl Y, and I've been wondering since then that the two girls have the same Chinese character in their names. I met Girl Y first, and then I met Girl F, and we have been in love for three years, and now, we haven't been in touch for a long time.

I've lived to this point, and in this short life, F and Y are two very important people to me. Although they didn't end up together, they carried all the memories of my emotions.

I don't think I'll ever forget them, no matter what I do, just as I can't forget my short youth.

After eating, I specially found a movie "If Love" and watched it, and I felt a lot. As for the reason, I can't tell you why.

It's better to forget, it's better to start over, it's better to start all over again! The sun is new and life will be new.

Just like me now, calm as water, as if nothing had happened.

"It's better to act as if nothing happened. She said to me.

"It's as if nothing happened. Later, I told her.

I answered them one by one.
