Chapter 16 Fireworks
It was already twelve o'clock at noon when He Lefan came down from Taishan, and the hot air made it almost difficult to breathe. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I carefully escorted Le Fan down the mountain, and instead of taking the almost straight stone staircase to return, I took the gentle path.
When she returned to the car, Le Fan's face was already slightly pale, her health was not good, and staying in the mountains for so much time may have been her limit.
I stayed in the car, and when she had eased up, I asked softly, "Is there a restaurant nearby?" ”
Le Fan nodded, "Go back the way you came, and I'll show you the way." ”
I nodded, started the car, and when we reached a fork in the road, Lefan let me drive the other way, but in three minutes, we stopped in front of a restaurant.
The restaurant looks small, but it's clean.
At this time, there were still some customers in the store, but they were not full. This is the case in rural areas, where there are not many people who go out to restaurants, and unless there are special circumstances, they generally eat at home, which is very different from that in the city.
We found an empty spot and sat down, and the clerk came over and asked for something to eat.
Le Fan ordered a few dishes with ease, and when the menu was handed to me, I added a vegetarian soup.
Le Fan leaned lightly on the back of the seat, looked at me and smiled slightly, and said, "I thought you would stop me from eating these things!" ”
I looked at her and smiled, but didn't speak.
The dishes ordered by Le Fan are all heavy dishes, spicy fish, shredded green pepper pork, spicy chicken, and shredded green pepper pork, all of which are related to chili peppers.
In fact, Le Fan's current situation is not suitable for eating these things, if it was before, I would definitely strongly oppose it, and she will never be allowed to eat these things, but today I want to get used to her, as long as she likes it.

……
Seeing that I didn't speak, Le Fan was no longer obsessed with this question, she looked out the window, this shop was opened by the river, that is, the river under the small stone bridge.
It's just that we're just upstream right now.
"This store opened three years ago, and I remember when it opened, I was one of my first customers. Originally, I just wanted to try my luck to see if the store was still there, but I didn't expect that it was still doing business here. ”
I was thinking about something wildly, but Le Fan's voice sounded in my ears.
I didn't expect this to happen here.
Le Fan suddenly focused his eyes on the place that looked like a large factory on the opposite side, and then said with a smile: "There is nothing changed here, guess what it is used for?" ”
I looked over and could only see the shape of the 'factory', but I couldn't see the inside, I shook my head, the main entrance was facing the road I came, but I didn't pay attention when I drove over.
Seeing me shake his head, Le Fan explained to me with a light smile: "It's a small market for people in the neighborhood, and people come here to sell vegetables almost every morning. ”
I nodded knowingly, I understood.
Then I heard Le Fan say, "I remember that the only time I saw Zhang Yiyang's mother clearly was next to this factory. ”
Hearing this, I withdrew my gaze from the 'factory', and then looked at Le Fan, with a deep curiosity in my eyes.
Le Fan actually saw Zhang's mother, but he didn't know in what capacity.
So I asked, "Did she know about you and Zhang Yiyang at that time?" ”
In my curious eyes, Le Fan smiled and nodded, "I know." ”
I raised my eyebrows slightly in surprise, intrigued by what happened next, "Did anything happen next?" ”
Le Fan set his eyes on the 'factory', and after being silent for a while, he continued: "It was actually an accident that I met Zhang Yiyang's mother that time, because I happened to meet the same wine banquet that time. In fact, I originally made an appointment with He Xi, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang Yiyang's mother, I didn't know it, I only saw He Xi didn't know what to say when he saw Zhang Yiyang's mother, and then I saw Zhang Yiyang's mother looking at me, and I didn't know what expression was on her face. ”
"When He Xi came to talk to me, she told me that it was Zhang Yiyang's mother, and I felt quite embarrassed at the time, because He Xi said that I was no longer a secret with them, and everyone who knew Zhang Yiyang knew that he had a girlfriend named You Lefan. At that time, although I didn't even say a word to Zhang Yiyang's mother, I had the illusion of seeing my parents, and I was shy or something, which was very rare for me. ”
Le Fan said, silent for a while.
"By the way, it's the room under the fork in the road just now, it used to be a kindergarten, and Luo Han and Luo Yan both studied there before." Le Fan suddenly smiled and said to me.
Suddenly, I changed the subject, I was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled.
Maybe she didn't want to mention it or didn't know how to say anything about Zhang Yiyang's mother!
Le Fan didn't want to say it, so I followed her to say something else that could make her feel happier.
"What about you? Did you read it there? I asked with a smile.
Le Fan hooked his lips and shook his head, "How is it possible?" When I was four or five years old, kindergarten wasn't up yet, and when I was four or five years old, very few children went to kindergarten, and we all went straight to preschool. ”
I didn't speak, just looked at Le Fan and smiled.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered, it's the sharp bend above, the bend where there is a store selling fruit."
I frowned slightly and recalled, then nodded, but I remembered that there was a sharp downhill bend a little below the fork just now, and there was indeed a fruit seller next to it.
"What's wrong?" I wondered, was there anything wrong with that bend?
Le Fan hooked his lips slightly, propped his hands on the table, supported his chin with his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled, his expression was like a little girl who had eaten candy, very satisfied.
"The fruit seller used to sell not only fruits, but also all kinds of fireworks. Before high school, every year during the Chinese New Year, our children would go to his house to buy fireworks together, because there are many kinds of fireworks in his house, and they are all gadgets, so we are happy to go this way to buy them. However, because the state restricted the sale of fireworks, the types of fireworks in his house became less and less. ”
"Do you like fireworks?" I asked with a smile.
Le Fan nodded, "Well, I liked it very much when I was a child, and I always felt that setting off fireworks was like holding a ceremony, and celebrating the New Year meant that another year had passed, and the new year had arrived, and new expectations had grown and sprouted in my heart." ”
She suddenly turned her head to look at me with a big smile, "What I used to look forward to the most was the Chinese New Year, because when I was a child, I could only be late for the New Year, and I couldn't eat big fish and meat on weekdays." In the past, the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong, and everyone must sit around for a reunion dinner during the New Year, not only my family, but also my uncle's family, that kind of lively and warm, hehe......"
Le Fan suddenly laughed bitterly.
"I don't know how many years I haven't felt ......"
I have never felt the excitement of a large family, so I can't resonate with the scene that Le Fan said, but that kind of scene, just thinking about it, makes people extremely envious.
"I don't know when it started, everyone has their own ways for the New Year, there is no longer a big reunion, and even the people who set off fireworks are getting fewer and fewer. In front of my house used to be a small hill with paddy fields on it, the kind where rice is grown. During the Chinese New Year, the field on the top always dries up, and then our children, we children, will find a lot of branches to build a bonfire, and roast the fire on it, waiting for the early morning to come. ”
Speaking of this, Le Fan suddenly pouted dissatisfiedly, "Hey, I'm the worst, I can't keep the New Year on it every year, because my mother always forbids me to go up to play on the grounds of danger, so every time I go up, I actually go up secretly." ”
Le Fan suddenly laughed again, "However, I am not the only one who has been treated like this, my cousin You Minglang is also like this, and my third aunt is not allowed to go up, so I always feel that I have a feeling of sympathy with him." ”
I smiled helplessly, I was used to Le Fan's bad taste.
"Every time he and I could only look at the campfire on the hill in front of the house with envy, listen to their laughter, and sometimes have a sense of loneliness of abandonment."
Le Fan's description made me laugh, "It's almost enough, this exaggeration is too much." I couldn't help but quip.
At this moment, it seems that all our troubles have been left behind, and only happiness remains.
Le Fan didn't care about smiling, "To be honest, I really miss the time when I was a child, and I was thinking at that time, how good it would be if time stayed at that moment, there would be no worries, and there would be no conflicts with them later." But what can be done, and who knows how much will happen later? ”
