Chapter 31: Scratching the palms

Ye Jianguo only has three days off, and it takes two and a half days on the road, and his schedule is tighter than that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The day after he came back, Ye Luwei was requisitioned with a car, and first sent Ye Jianguo and Man Hongyu to the county to officially visit Ju Rongmei's parents, had a hurried lunch, and went to visit Ye Luwei's grandfather and step-grandmother in the afternoon.

These were the etiquette of that time, and they had to go. Where is it like the later generations, the children have been born, and the parents of the two families do not necessarily know each other.

Ye Luwei's grandfather graduated from the party's confidential secretary school before the liberation, and was basically a secondary school graduate. After liberation, he participated in the construction of various factories and mines in several nearby areas, and was regarded as a veteran of the initial industrialization in this area. He had just retired to live in the county, but he was hired as a technician in a military factory that was said to produce special items.

The current grandmother is a colleague in the grandfather's factory after the death of her own grandmother, and both of them are lonely, rubbing and forming a new family.

After dressing up in various ways in the county and winning countless praises, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Ye Luwei took his tired parents home. Because Ye Jianguo had to return to the construction site at noon the next day, the construction site was organizing the bureau to move back to Shudu.

In order to discuss the time of Ye Jianguo, the Ye family held a family meeting overnight to discuss family affairs.

Ye Jianguo directly asked Ye Luwei if he still went to work, at this time, the spring breeze of reform was basically blowing all over the land of China, and there were more and more people who did not go to work and went to the sea, and it was not a big news.

Ye Luwei's business is equivalent to doing it for a lifetime, how can it move people's hearts. Of course, twenty years later, one million is considered a yarn, and I can't even afford a wedding house.

Ye Luwei knows the fate of the mulberry sericulture industry in the future, and it is impossible to mix in this industry for a lifetime. In the future, he still wants to be a project consultant that he loved in his last life, free and high-end.

Besides, most of his true friends in his previous life were met during his work in the past few years, including his wife.

Now like Ju Rongmei, the original idea of planning to go to his wife's hometown to find her has faded a lot. Don't say that his wife doesn't know him at all now, even if he wants to find it, he can only go to the gate of her middle school and wait, because when the future generations knew her, her family happened to be expanded by the city and moved to a new home, and Ye Luwei didn't know where she lived now.

Listening to Ye Luwei say that he just wants to make a small profit in the silkworm cocoon industry in the past three or five years, and he still has to go to the class, Ye Jianguo can't help but feel a little itchy, and wants to beat people, you make a million in two days, this is a "small profit"?

Although the class is going to go, Ye Luwei plans to change the way, he clearly knows the career direction after he goes to this national construction company, and he doesn't want to waste some of the things he did in the previous life with mixed qualifications and nonsense. And now Ju Rongmei is still in the health center for infusion treatment of her lungs, and she will not be discharged from the hospital until at least a week later. At that time, he basically arranged the affairs of He Erliu and Wang Fatzi, so that he could go to the company to report to work.

Pinching your fingers, it's basically not much different from the working hours in the previous life, is history really strikingly similar?

This time to send Ye Jianguo, Ye Luwei simply planned to send him to Silk City, so that he could have an extra lunch at home and leave after the meal. Man Hongyu has been getting together with Ye Jianguo less and more in her life, and she is used to it, Ye Luwei persuaded her to follow her to the construction site for a few days, but she also refused, and she scolded if she said more.

"You hurt people to jump into the river when you were back, and now you're still in the hospital, how can I be in the mood to play? Quiet? ”

Ye Luwei had no choice but to wipe the saliva off his face depressedly, and encouraged Ye Yiyi to play with him, Ye Yiyi jumped up directly with joy.

On the way to Silk City, he was about to pass by the Land Temple, Ye Luwei smiled dryly and turned into the health center, ignoring Ye Jianguo's face because he had become a passer-by who had become a hitchhiker, and his face was black at the bottom of the pot, and he dragged Ju Rong Meiqiang to the car and went to Silk City together.

The three of them threw Ye Jianguo, who was hitchhiking, to the Silk City office, and asked him to find the company's hitchhiker back to the construction site, and then turned around and drove to the commercial street. Ye Jianguo watched his children walk away, and began to sigh in his heart again that he had grown up, he no longer had to stick to adults, and he threw Lao Tzu away as a burden and a light bulb...... A lonely person goes back to the construction site to earn money.

Although Ju Rongmei's lung infection is not good, she can already move simply, Ye Luwei is afraid that she will not be able to bear the fingering that this suicide storm will inevitably cause, so he took her out to relax. And a lot of the things in her room were moved to her parents' house by Ye Luwei, and she also needed to add more.

There is a bouncing Ye Dudu, ah, oh, it's good to call Ye Dudu, Ye Yiyi, Ju Rongmei is much calmer. Before coming to Silk City with Ye Luwei, the two were handsome men and beautiful women, and the return rate was extremely high. But Ye Luwei's face was too tender, and Ju Rongmei was always a little restless, and she didn't dare to walk proudly with her lover like her peers on the street.

Ju Rongmei held Ye Yiyi all the way to the clothing store, shoe store, snack bar, every time she went to the store, Ye Luwei sadly found that she was a human-shaped ATM machine and an automatic cargo hanger.

The last time I came to buy something with Ju Rongmei, it was Ye Luwei who urged her to buy this and that, and Rongrong was still a little shy.

This time it's different, the identity is clear, and with the sister-in-law, the two compare and praise each other all the way, in a burst of "Ah, you wear this dress is really good", "This color is good for you", "That bag must match this", "This leather shoe needs a short skirt"...... In such exclamations, Ye Luwei's drape became heavier and heavier.

After Ye Luwei returned to the car and put things in the car twice, the two beauties, one big and one young, finally got a little tired and went to the noodle restaurant next to them to eat rice noodles. In this era, the small noodle restaurant and small noodle restaurant, I really dare not describe the sanitary conditions, for fear that everyone will spit out last year's noodles.

Fortunately, although Ye Luwei is a little pretending, he is not a master who pretends to be a fool, and he will pretend if the conditions permit, but if there are no conditions, then he will not pretend.

Back then, well, in the future, steamed buns roasted on the plateau with cow dung, this meal rich in the fragrance of grass, is also often eaten. (In areas with only Asakusa at high altitudes, cow dung is the only fuel, there is no taste, and the roasted steamed buns are really delicious, quack)

Fill your stomach, hold an ice cream for each person, and the night of the silk city is slowly coming.

Now the city's nightlife is still relatively monotonous, except for the young people's group of demons and dance halls, karaoke has not yet become popular, but a few prosperous commercial streets, some people have begun to set up night market stalls, and there are many big bosses in later generations, all of whom began to develop at this time in the night market stalls.

People who come to the night market may want to buy something, but most of them are actually just wandering aimlessly, looking at the lights, looking at the crowds, feeling the lively pulse of their city, relieving the fatigue of a day at work, and then happily facing tomorrow.

Ye Luwei walked on this familiar street, looking at the people around him who still looked rustic, and suddenly found that the colors on the faces of people in this era were much brighter, most of them were full of smiling faces, and occasionally collided or stepped on the surface of others' feet, they would pass by with a light smile, confident and tolerant.

In later generations, there were more people on the night streets, and there were more means to keep people in the middle of the night, but it was difficult to see such ordinary people, and everyone walked calmly.

Think of the afterlife of an hour's commute in the morning and evening, a 20-minute nap at the desk in the office at noon, and nothing but sleep when you get home at night. Except for the retired and unemployed, ordinary people who can go to the streets really don't have the time and energy to afford to go to the night market.

In later generations, most of the places with bright lights were places for the exchange of interests, and ordinary people could only consume when they occasionally had a birthday, got married, or something. The ordinary public restaurant is basically a place to fill the stomach, and it has long been without the shallow drinking and comfortable calmness of three friends and four friends.

Looking at Ye Yiyi, who was carefree at this time, thinking of the troubles of her countless job changes in the future, Ye Luwei felt that the world was really a wonderful mess, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Ju Rongmei felt Ye Luwei's absent-minded loneliness, and felt that the young man who was only a little over seventeen years old might not be too sad, where was his usual shrewdness and acuity? Could it be that I didn't hold his hand? It's impossible to think about it, Ye Luwei feels more and more strange to her, as if he really grew up overnight, big enough to be her dependence, her lover, and even her ...... Brother.

His feelings are at least the same as Ye Yiyi's, he just looks at him if he can't figure it out, and he can immediately give an opinion to solve the problem. Ye Yiyi was originally his own sister, and she may have been used to by her brother since she was a child, but she has only felt this way in the last few days. Could it be...... Could it be that he has grown up with him all of a sudden? Ju Rongmei's face was hot, and she didn't dare to think about it again. Whatever, it's like this anyway, I'm ...... I'll just follow him.

Ju Rongmei pulled Ye Yiyi, deliberately slowed down, and when Ye Luwei approached, she reached out to hold his arm with a little hesitation, and the three of them walked slowly in rows.

Ye Luwei was used to being saved by his wife or daughter in his last life, and he didn't notice Ju Rongmei's cramped movements and reddened face, and he was still immersed in his own spiritual world, comparing the gap and beauty between this city and later generations.

The Jialing River looped around the city, and it took thousands of years to accumulate enough flat land to build a city in the inner bend, and it may have taken humans another thousand years to build the city in this bay.

The wars that followed for thousands of years were destroyed and rebuilt, rebuilt and broken, and the cycle was divided and combined. In the foundation of this ancient city, I don't know how many heroic blood and more tears of the general public have been buried.

The ever-flowing Jialing River washes away the city's sorrow and sorrow, taking away the ghosts of the call signs, leaving behind the fleeting joy and smiling faces of this life.

Perhaps because the foundation was built on the beach, this small piece of ancient street along the old wharf of the Jialing River has not been completely demolished by later generations of real estate developers.

After entering the new millennium, the newly built "ancient towns" in various places have sprung up in patches, and the efficiency of tourism stealing tourists and grabbing money has finally surpassed that of real estate development. This real ancient street, which escaped the butcher's knife of real estate development, survived and was listed as a protected unit as an ancient building of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ye Luwei looked quite interested in those shops that were obviously old streets, and the two beauties were very dissatisfied. Ye Yiyi pouted and said: "What's the point of seeing these dilapidated houses, let's go to the downtown mall and go shopping, we have to buy clothes, clothes, clothes, and bags, bags, bags, and shoes...... Then go to the movies. ”

Looking at Ye Yiyi's exaggerated and funny appearance, Ye Luwei smiled lonely, followed the meaning of the two beauties, left the riverside wharf, and walked towards the city center. Ju Rongmei once again felt that her little lover was far deeper than her age, and she was slightly heartbroken, and quietly stretched out her hand to Ye Luwei's palm to scratch it, and at the same time mustered up the courage to stare at Ye Luwei with her eyes wide open.

Ye Luwei was stimulated by Ju Rongmei's small palm scratching action, and his wife seemed to appear in front of him, and he almost blurted out a sentence of "wife, I miss you so much".

In the future, if Ye Luwei's wife did something excessive, or wanted to snap, she would stare at him with wide eyes like this, while gently scratching his palm with her fingers.

This set of actions was learned by the two of them when they went to Lugu Lake to play and learned from the locals. It is said that a long time ago, when there was a matriarchal clan in that place, men and women danced together, and if they scratched each other's palms, it was a secret word. Ye Luwei's wife thought it was funny, and later it became a code for the two of them to snap while playing, and then it was extended to a password for apologizing to each other and saying sorry.

Ju Rongmei was frightened by the excited expression on Ye Luwei's face, and just wanted to ask something, but when she saw Ye Luwei's brows furrowed, the whole person's spirit was about to dissipate, and she felt that she was shorter.

Ye Luwei was heavy for two seconds, shook his head and forced himself to be quiet, but the tears in his eyes were clearly seen by Ju Rongmei.

Who is he missing? Ex-girlfriend? A woman's natural sensitivity makes Ju Rongmei suspicious.

Ye Yiyi's attention was always on the colorful shops on the street, and then magically interjected: "Brother, I want those sunglasses", and finally pulled Ye Luwei out of his memory.

From childhood to adulthood, to many years after Ye Yiyi's marriage, the sentence "Brother, what do I want" is Ye Luwei's brain-waking agent.

Ye Luwei followed her fingers, saw the king-sized toad mirror on the counter, and reached out to rub Ye Yiyi's hair, "Blind selection, that's a man's, a small baby's family, what kind of sunglasses are you wearing?" ”

"Oh, don't touch my head......" Then Ye Yiyi went to fix her hair, forgetting the sunglasses she wanted to buy. This trick was not used until Ye Yiyi got married, and Ye Luwei rubbed her hair for the last time.

Seeing that Ye Luwei was becoming normal, Ju Rongmei temporarily put away the anxiety in her heart, calmed down, and stepped forward to take Ye Luwei's hand and hold it tightly, for fear that he would run away.

Ye Luwei couldn't help but be a little surprised, this is a benefit today? Still rubbing me with a murder weapon? Still rubbing? Rub me and rub me...... Ju Rongmei was not as shameless as him, so she had to retreat with a red face. But I made up my mind in my heart, I will never let go this time, hum, what is there about my sister's face that my ex-girlfriend can't get rid of? didn't know that before it started, she had lost since her previous life.
