Chapter Twenty-Four: You at the Table
Liu is relatively lonely, he is like a ghost who has lost his soul and was thrown into this prosperous world.
He is constantly busy, just to make himself forget.
Forget that you are a reborn freak, forget that you are an 'old' uncle, forget that you are different from everything around you.
He has a lot of words, but he can't find anyone to tell, he misses many, many things, but he can't find the person he misses, he can't run the time.
Although he saw his father who was still young, he still thought about his father, who was already full of flowers, he knew that his current wife was still young, but he still thought about his middle-aged wife, he didn't know where his daughter was now, and whether there would be her in this life.
Everything in the world is still the same, but what he cares about is not there.
He is like a soul in someone else's body, living someone else's life.
He deliberately forgot, he was about to forget, but the song reminded him.
The songs he loves to listen to have been listened to for twenty years in the year they were just released
When the guitar cadenza appears in the middle of the song, Liu suddenly comes back to his senses from the chaos of memory and time and space, and he presses the stop button hard, as if he is holding down all his past.
The music stopped abruptly, the tears could not flow back, and Liu relatively casually brushed his cheeks, so that the traces of tears disappeared with his sleeves.
He raised his right hand and brushed it against his cheek, there was a wound on his shoulder, but he didn't feel any pain.
"Are you alright?"
Wen Xiuyi also seemed to notice the difference in Liu Relative at this moment, she asked softly, and then walked to the opposite side of him.
Liu Zhao suddenly laughed, he pointed to the walkman and said to Wen Xiuyi: "This song is so good, it moved me to tears, it's so good."
Liu didn't know what he was talking about, he kept saying it nicely.
"If you like the cassette, you take it first, and the machine will also be taken away, when will you get tired of listening to it, and when will you return me."
Wen Xiuyi didn't say that she would give the Walkman to Liu Zhuang, she vaguely felt that this boy could not accept other people's gifts casually.
"Still no, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, if I want to hear it, I will come directly to you to get it."
Liu Zhao was completely clear at this time, he didn't be polite to Wen Xiuyi, and he didn't want to let himself fall into this kind of chaotic memory.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Wen Xiuyi didn't insist, took the walkman handed over by Liu Relative, and said with a smile: "I have to listen to the crying song of a big man seriously." ”
"It's a little old man!"
Liu Relative corrected the words in Wen Xiuyi's words, and his face was depressed, "I'm just 16 years old, not too old." ”
"Haha, I've always been your 60's."
Wen Xiuyi and Liu felt extremely relaxed together, and she felt that it was really a happy thing to make Liu Zhao look embarrassed.
"Let's go, it's time to eat."
Before Wen Xiuyi's words fell, the voice of Secretary Wen beckoning to eat came from the living room
The dinner is very sumptuous, full of dishes, although the dishes are very exquisite, but there is really nothing out of the ordinary, which makes Liu Relative's evaluation of Secretary Wen a layer higher, from some details you can see the quality of a person, Secretary Wen, is definitely a good official with two sleeves and a clean breeze, the same inside and outside.
The wine is Moutai, this can be had.
Wen Xiuyi leaned on Liu Relative and sat at the back door, and Secretary Wen pulled Liu Rushan to sit in the main seat, Secretary Wen's family did not have so many rules, so there was another nanny on the seat, Wen Xiuyi called her Aunt Bai, I heard that she has been working here for several years.
"Brother Rushan, we don't pay so much attention here, I am a few years older than you, so I will call you brother, what about you, don't call me secretary, call me Brother Wen, this sounds pleasant."
As soon as Secretary Xi Wen set the tone, Liu Rushan was inexplicably frightened, and at the same time inexplicably grateful.
Liu Zhao smiled slightly, the person who can be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee will definitely not be an ordinary person, no matter how upright and honest he is, he is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, and a few words have completely narrowed the distance with them.
The atmosphere in the dinner room was very warm, Secretary Wen was witty, Liu Rushan was restrained from the beginning to the later coping freely, coupled with Liu Zhao's gags from time to time by relying on his age advantage, Wen Xiuyi also occasionally made kind words and ridiculed and ridiculed, so that the two elders had no fun after pouting a bottle of liquor, until Wen Xiuyi came forward and forcibly stopped Secretary Wen's unreasonable request to open another bottle, and the banquet ended happily.
In fact, during the banquet, Secretary Wen has been observing the Liu father and son, Liu Rushan's cautious words and deeds cultivated in the system, and the exquisite seven tricks cultivated in the shopping mall made him very satisfied, and what impressed him even more was Liu Relative, this young man.
He found that Liu was very good at mastering the timing of his speech and adjusting the atmosphere, seeing the seams, humorous but rigorous, casual but respectful.
What made him even happier was that he saw the happiness and pleasure in his daughter's heartfelt eyes, the tacit understanding and casualness between her and this young man, which made him seem to have returned to the years when his wife was still there, and the lively and cheerful daughter who liked to tease people came back.
She's slowly changing, getting better and better.
It made him feel very warm.
Since the death of his wife, it has been difficult for him to see such a heartfelt smile on his daughter's face.
He thinks that Liu is very good to this child, very good.
After eating, smoking a cigarette, and chatting for a while, Liu Rushan raised his hand and looked at his watch, which had already pointed to nine o'clock in the night, so he got up and politely said goodbye to Secretary Wen, he knew that today's meal was very pleasant, at least, from the original simple understanding with Secretary Wen, to the familiar.
Of course, Secretary Wen's personality also deeply touched Liu Rushan, in Liu Rushan's heart, Secretary Wen is a friend worthy of deep friendship.
Secretary Wen also thinks this way, he thinks that Liu Rushan can be a friend, and Liu is relative, hehe, a good junior.
"I'll see you off."
Wen Xiuyi followed out of the room.
Liu knew her intentions, in fact, she just wanted to come out and breathe, she didn't have too deep feelings for her current family.
Secretary Wen listened and nodded, "Okay, Xiuyi will send you Uncle Liu on my behalf, and Ah relative, you can often come over to play if it's okay, and there are few people at home, come over and be lively." ”
The sun rose as usual, although Liu Zhao still got up very early, but due to his physical injury, he did not go for a morning jog to exercise, got up early and memorized the formula of physics and chemistry for a while, and hurriedly ate a mouthful of food, Liu Zhao embarked on his journey to study again.
Time is getting shorter and shorter, and he is not ready, but things will always get better, no, did he move to the goddess table of that year today?
Humming at the same table, with a brisk pace, Liu Zhao walked into the classroom of Class 2 of the third year of junior high school, and there were not many people coming.
Zhang Mohai has already sat in his seat, which is good.
"Haizi, please do me a favor."
Liu looked at Zhang Mohai with a worried face, and didn't ask for any reason, and directly asked him to move his desk to Deng Wei's place, and then moved Deng Wei's to the same table with Zhang Mohai.
Zhang Mohai, who had a gloomy face, was startled when he heard this request.
"I'll wipe it, what are you going to do?"
"Change places, I will be at the same table with Li Fei in the future, for you, buddy will return to the front row!"
It's not that he is playing treasure, it's because he carved a lot of physical and chemical formulas on his desk, and those formulas are relatively important to Liu, and they are all very long and difficult to remember.
Liu Zhi silently muttered Haizi, Haizi, our middle school friendship is over, and before leaving, buddy has created an opportunity for you, it depends on whether you can grasp it.
Zhang Mohai felt that today's Liu was relatively like a god stick, neurotic.
"You move by yourself, I won't help the abuse."
Zhang Mohai thought that Liu was relatively nervous.
"If my arm can be strong, I still need you to help?"
Liu tilted his head and glanced at his shoulder and said, "Crippled." ”
Zhang Mohai saw that Liu was relatively not joking, he scratched his head and thought about it, but still moved the desk and walked towards Li Fei's position.
There were more and more people in the empty classroom who spoke, and the squad leader Xu Yue also walked in, and he was stunned when he saw Zhang Mohai's movements, and then he took two quick steps to stop Zhang Mohai directly.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Mohai shrugged helplessly, looked at Liu Zhao behind him, and pouted: "Ask him!" ”
Xu Yue's academic performance is very good, and the conditions at home are also very good, but he is a little arrogant and doesn't like these naughty students very much.
"Liu Relative, what do you want to do?"
"I want to move and study that every day."
Liu Relative's mouth is relatively walking, and strange words come when he opens his mouth.
"You do this, do you know? You're messing around again. ”
Xu Yue was a little angry, this Liu relative hadn't taken himself seriously since he became the squad leader, stole his own books, tore up his notes, read his own diary, and even pasted a big king on his back to make him memorize it for a whole day.
He felt that Liu Zong's behavior today was still pranking himself.
But does Liu have this time?
"Old class, you think too much, why did you start slandering again, what you said scared me, I don't know which one is stronger to learn excavators."
Which one is stronger to learn excavators? The middle school students of that era really didn't know, but it didn't mean that Xu Yue didn't understand the meaning of Liu Zhuang's words, so he glanced at Liu Relative hatefully, turned around and walked out of the classroom.
He's going to the head teacher.
Zhang Mohai put the desk on the ground and glanced at Liu Zheng, what does that mean?
"You move yours, ignore him."
Ryu was relatively unimpressed, and Nunu motioned for him to continue.
Passing through Zhang Mohai's body, Liu Xiang saw Li Fei who had just walked into the classroom with a textbook.
"Hello, tablemate!"
The corners of Liu Zhao's mouth were slightly upturned, and he said to Li Fei, who was bathed in the morning light.
