Chapter Forty-Seven: Lin Xi?
Summer evenings are always pleasant, with a curved crescent moon hanging from the sky, and the stars next to it reflect a soft light.
Following Li Mei's steps briskly into the courtyard, the breeze on the summer evening hit, warm, Wang Ming was in a happy mood, after entering the courtyard, he was familiar with the other tenants in the courtyard to say hello.
With the passage of time, everyone also knew that this handsome-looking young man came to Dongjiang to work like them, and even knew that Wang Ming had finished the college entrance examination, but had to drop out of school because of the restrictions of family conditions, and these were all from Li Mei's mouth, Wang Ming only smiled bitterly at this.
"Come, Xiao Wang, eat watermelon, after buying it today, I will freeze it in the freezer of your Uncle Li Guang's house, it's very cool."
Under a plane tree in the courtyard, a middle-aged woman about forty years old, at this moment there was a simple wooden table in front of her, sitting on a small bench, looking at Wang Ming who entered the courtyard, her face appeared with a smile, and when she spoke, the watermelon in her hand had been handed to Wang Ming.
"Hey... Thank you, Aunt Zhang. ”
Wang Ming took two steps forward, hurriedly took it, and while opening his mouth to thank him, he also looked at Aunt Zhang with a kind face in front of him.
Aunt Zhang's actual age is about the same as Wang Ming's mother, but perhaps because of the perennial work outside, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are deeper, and on her face that has been devastated by the years, she is looking at Wang Ming with a warm smile at the moment.
"Eat quickly, this kid, what's polite to your aunt, it's been a tiring day, come and sit here, there's still something after eating."
Aunt Zhang had a smile on her face, revealing the simplicity of a countryman, and when she opened her mouth at this moment, Wang Ming hurriedly waved her hand, and after thanking her repeatedly, she walked into her cabin amid Aunt Zhang's laughter.
Turning on the small fan fixed at the head of the bed, Wang Ming lay down with his hands on the back of his head, through the small window in the house, looking at the little stars in the sky, in his mind, Aunt Zhang's kind face quietly flashed, and when he crossed it, his mother's pale face was reflected in his mind, and the pale face with a little guilt in the kindness made Wang Ming's heart twitch gently.
"It's been a month since you left home? I don't know what's going on at home, alas..."
Wang Ming whispered, the crescent moon outside the window moved, reflecting his face, his father's face with a hint of exhaustion, and the sleepy-eyed appearance of little Lori, one by one across his mind, making Wang Ming's heart even more empty, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Shaking his head, gradually pressing the deep thoughts in the depths of his heart, Wang Ming slowly got up, went out to wash up, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep deeply.
This night, he dreamed a lot, especially the scene where the little Lori cried with pear blossoms and rain, which made Wang Ming even in his sleep, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
The dawn of the morning shone into the small room, reflecting Wang Ming's face, although the window was open in the room, it was already in August, and the temperature of the early morning had already made the room a little stuffy.
In the slight tremor of his eyelashes, Wang Ming slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the small fan at the head of the bed was still rotating unhurriedly, making a slight friction sound.
After getting up and washing up briefly, Wang Ming walked out of the courtyard and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, at this moment the time was still just eight o'clock, as before, Wang Ming paced, slowly came to the alley, waiting for Li Mei's arrival.
Sweeping his gaze over the crowd of vehicles coming and going on Black Bull City Road, Wang Ming looked at his watch a little helplessly, five minutes had passed since the appointed time every day, but Li Mei's figure still did not appear.
"Hey, it's early."
Just as Wang Ming hesitated, Li Mei's voice came from the alley, and immediately, a sound of even footsteps came, Wang Ming turned his head to look, pursed his lips, and showed a helpless expression on his face.
"Sister Mei, look at the time, is it still early?"
Wang Ming smiled helplessly, looking at Li Mei who was already slowly trotting, today she was wearing a pure white casual clothes, wearing light blue sneakers under her feet, and her black hair was casually restrained behind her head by a purple ribbon.
"Whew... Well, I went out with a few sisters yesterday and came back a little late, let's go. ”
Li Mei trotted over, stopped in front of Wang Ming, and when she exhaled softly, she blinked her eyes a little playfully, which made Wang Ming slightly stunned here, and quickly retracted her gaze while shaking her head, and took the lead in running slowly towards the side of Black Bull City.
"Poof, as for it, but my sister's charm is beyond doubt."
Seeing Wang Ming running slowly, Li Mei couldn't help but chuckle, and then as if talking to herself, she followed lightly.
"You kid, it's okay, it's only been a month since you came, and not only has you won the favor of the head chef Chef Li, but even a few old people in the kitchen have been wooed, you can't see it, you usually don't like to talk, and your communication methods are quite clever."
Li Mei caught up with Wang Ming, and in the two trotting side by side, Li Mei's gaze swept over the immature Wang Ming with the face beside her, and said slowly.
Wang Ming ran evenly, he didn't know how to answer Li Mei's words, and when he turned sideways, he could only reply with a shy smile, and seeing this, Li Mei snorted lightly, and then adjusted the time of several breaths, and only then did he speak again.
"It's very bold, Erdun is so strong, you say it's going to fight, I don't see it, your small body, you actually have such flexible skills, but, I can warn you, in the future, in the store, fights are absolutely not allowed, there are things that can't be solved, remember to find my sister me, with me to come forward, it's better than you to do it."
Li Mei's voice was slightly panting, at this moment the two of them had gradually approached the direction of the pedestrian street, and in the surging traffic, the figures of the two couldn't help but slow down.
"I'm in self-defense, okay."
Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders, Li Mei knew about this, he was not surprised at all, and even in his opinion, even if the head chef Li Long was not clear, he would receive some rumors, after all, in a place like a restaurant, people chatted and farted after tea and dinner after being busy, just to talk about some gossip, and at the moment, it was also to Li Mei.
"Just defend a fart, don't you know to me, although it was Erdun's hand that moved first, but he was beaten by you and had no power to fight back, even if the head of the pier Wang Wendong went over to stop him, you didn't stop immediately, right?"
Li Mei snorted lightly, then rolled her eyes at Wang Ming, and when she spoke, Wang Ming showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and immediately laughed dryly.
"Ahem... I'm not afraid that if I stop, what will happen if he stands up and beats me? ”
Wang Ming's voice fell, Li Mei shook her head helplessly, and when she looked at Wang Ming with a serious look, she said word by word.
"Anyway, in the store in the future, no... Permit... Beat... rack!"
Li Mei's voice fell, Wang Ming nodded helplessly, Li Mei, who was not a few years older than herself, looked quite cute when she got serious, and seeing Wang Ming nodded, Li Mei made an expression that counted her acquaintance, and when the corners of her mouth lifted a trace of arc, her eyes looked at the road where there was still traffic.
"The red light is a bit long today."
Wang Ming smiled, immediately looked at the red light at the intersection, and said helplessly, the dark eyes were also casually swept in the direction of the opposite pedestrian street, slowly retracted, his mind was slightly stunned, and then when he looked at it again, a slender and slender figure came into his eyes, and the moment he saw that figure, Wang Ming's body shook suddenly, and then in the roar in his mind, some dry sounds came out of his mouth.
"Lin... Lin Xi? ”
