Chapter 22: Old Classmates
Jing Ran pushed the car and walked home, before the car fell, the overall shape was not bad, and the small body looked exquisite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but after such a while, the right pedal, the entire baffle has cracked and fallen, even the plastic shell that has not fallen off, it is also twisted and drooping there, looking at how awkward it is.
The car is so natural that passers-by look at Jing Ran who is pushing the battery car with very strange eyes.
Jing Ran was young and thin-skinned after all, and in the face of the eyes of passers-by, he really wanted to go underground. But there was no electricity in the car. He had no choice but to keep his head down and pretend that nothing had happened.
When passing by the Xinhua Road market, a person walked over to Jing Ran. This neighborhood is the wholesale market of vegetable and meat products, so there are small stalls on the side of the road, and the road is not very wide.
As a result, instead of leaving, the man stared at Jing Ran directly, to say that Jing Ran was uncomfortable along the way, but those people didn't stare at people like this person.
It's also rude. He felt uncomfortable, and his mouth was not so polite, "What's wrong?" Are you going to get through it? ”
Unexpectedly, the person heard Jing Ran say this, but asked, "Are you Jing Ran?"
Jing Ran was stunned, who is this person? It looked quite raw, he racked his brains, and he didn't remember who this person was, but since he knew him, it was not good to lose his temper with others.
Jing Ran asked politely, "It's me, may I ask ...... you?" ”
Hearing Jing Ran say this, the man happily patted him on Jing Ran's shoulder, "It's really you, I felt a little like you just now." I'm Zhang Xiaoguang, a junior high school classmate, just sit in the back seat of you, forgot? I didn't expect to meet you here."
After he said this, Jing Ran faintly had some impressions, he did seem to have a back table named Zhang Xiaoguang, but Jing Ran actually didn't like to socialize much since he was a child, where did he remember what Zhang Xiaoguang looked like?
However, the other party was very enthusiastic, and Jing Ran had to say politely,
"Oh, it's you, of course I remember, you're my back table, I haven't seen each other for years."
"yes, six or seven years. When did you get back? I heard that you didn't study in a provincial town? ”
"Oh, I've been back for a while, and I've long since graduated."
"I said, you're the only one of our classmates who go to a key university, how about it, you're doing well now, right?"
Jing Ran scratched his head, he actually hated it when others asked such questions, but Chinese people are like this, maybe most people have no malice, they are habitually willing to ask what others are doing.
"It's okay," Jing Ran said vaguely, "I'm just going to open a restaurant."
"Oh" Zhang Xiaoguang nodded, "Okay, yes, I'm ready to be the boss, I deserve to be a college student, you must call me when you open?" ”
Jing Ran said modestly, "It's still early, I just have an idea." ”
Jing Ran and Zhang Xiaoguang are actually not particularly familiar, he originally wanted to say a few words to the other party and leave, but Zhang Xiaoguang knew that Jing Ran's car was out of power, so he took Jing Ran to his store to charge.
Zhang Xiaoguang said, "My family opened a lottery station, just around here, not far away, you charge for a while, it's better than you push all the way home to save more trouble." It's all classmates, what are you polite to me, let's go. ”
Zhang Xiaoguang pulled him and didn't let go, Jing Ran thought for a while, it's not bad to charge some electricity, otherwise it's really far away from home.
The two of them walked not far, and they arrived at the lottery station that Zhang Xiaoguang said, his shop happened to be near the vegetable market, Jing Ran looked inside through the glass door, and there were four or five people in the store buying lottery tickets.
Zhang Xiaoguang entered the house, pulled a wire out of the store, dragged it to the door, Jing Ran pulled out the charger from the back box of the motorcycle, plugged in the charger and followed Zhang Xiaoguang into the house.
Sitting in front of the ticket machine was a fat woman with a round face and short hair, and when she saw Zhang Xiaoguang coming in, the fat woman complained, "How many times have I told you, can you go home and charge your motorcycle?" The electricity bill in the store is expensive, can you have a snack eye. ”
"What are you talking about, my classmate's car, isn't it out of power? I didn't pull someone to come over, look at your slamming appearance. ”
When the woman heard Zhang Xiaoguang say this, she didn't squeak anymore, but she still had a straight face, which made Jing Ran very embarrassed, and he whispered to Zhang Xiaoguang, "I'm really sorry to make trouble for you." ”
"What's the trouble, don't listen to her nonsense, how much can it cost to plug in electricity."
Zhang Xiaoguang took Jing Ran's arm and asked him, "You haven't eaten yet, let's just go and have a bite."
Jing Ran hurriedly greeted him, "No, I've eaten, really, you can go by yourself." ”
"It's not interesting for me to eat alone, I just happened to meet you, so let's have a drink."
Jing Ran didn't want to eat at all, he and Zhang Xiaoguang were really not familiar, what could he talk about, he had long regretted coming here to recharge, he knew that it would be better for him to push the cart back, now it's better, if he turns around and leaves, isn't it just a shame to others?
But let him squat here alone to see the fat woman's face, he didn't feel good, anyway, he didn't eat dinner, Jing Ran made up his mind, and he would leave when he came back after eating. Thinking like this, he went out with Zhang Xiaoguang.
The place to eat is just across the street from the lottery station.
The small restaurant is not very big, only six or seven small tables, and there are few people in the house to eat. As soon as you enter the house, there is a smell of oil smoke. Facing the doorway was a large table, with some mixed vegetables in a few large iron plates on the greasy table.
Zhang Xiaoguang led Jing Ran inside
"It's clean and affordable, and I come here often."
As soon as the two of them were seated, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came over and asked the two of them to order.
"Something to eat for two"
"What are you eating, don't be polite to me, I'm having a treat today, let's have a good drink" Zhang Xiaoguang said to Jing Ran,
"I can do anything," Jing Ran said politely
"Oh, that's right. Then we can afford to be more affordable, and we are not outsiders."
Zhang Xiaoguang really didn't treat him as an outsider, and the two of them ordered a plate of shredded potatoes and a small plate of peanuts. Two more beers.
This is the most embarrassing meal Jing Ran has ever eaten, and he is not an extravagant and wasteful person, but the plate of shredded potatoes is too little, and the two men have bottomed out after two picks.
There was no way to make Jing Ran thin-skinned, he went to the counter and asked for two dishes, and settled the account directly.
Zhang Xiaoguang saw that Jing Ran had settled the account, ordered two more dishes, and complained to him vigorously, "Do you think I invited it, what are you polite to me?"
Who wants to be polite with you!
Jing Ran couldn't help but slander in his heart, Zhang Xiaoguang is really the best, an old classmate who hasn't seen each other for six or seven years, not to mention taking people to this kind of small restaurant, just order a shredded potato. This person is really picked.
Since it was his own money, Jing Ran was not polite, and simply stopped drinking. asked for a big bowl of rice, picked up the dishes he liked to eat and stuffed them into his mouth, and after a few bites, the plate was half empty.
Zhang Xiaoguang on the other side was not slow, picked up the chopsticks, and a bowl of rice was drawn into his mouth, chewing vigorously with his cheeks.
In the end, the two of them didn't waste anything, and even the vegetable soup at the bottom of the plate let Zhang Xiaoguang lick it clean.
After eating, both of them were shy with big bellies. It's too much to eat!
After putting away the charger, Jing Ran was about to go home. Before going out, Zhang Xiaoguang told Jing Ran that he and the fat woman in the house would get married at the end of this month, and asked Jing Ran to come to the wedding.
Jing Ran thought to herself, this is really unlucky.
