Chapter 792: The Old Man Teaches You to Be a Man!
It rarely snows in Chuhai City, although during this season, there are already snowflakes in many places.
In order not to make himself look different, out of place, and not feeling the cold, Ning Fei still wore a black woolen jacket and walked on the very distinctive couple's street in Chuhai City.
Lovers' Street, in fact, is some young people screaming blindly.
When Ning Fei was in junior high school, this street was called a small commodity street, there were some two-dollar shops, ten-yuan shops, etc., and there would be some little old men on the side of the road who specially carved words on small stones, and they were still here, Ning Fei recognized one in his memory - wearing a military coat with a hole in it, still wearing a goatee, his neck was always shrunk, and when no one was around, his hands were clubbed in his two sleeves, unwilling to move.
Ning Fei didn't know how to be polite when he was a child, and he would think that this old man looked like a turtle with a shrunken head.
The commodity street is suitable for some student couples to hang out, first of all, come here to shop, the cost is low.
Secondly, it is very emotional here, for example, those little couples can go to the old man to carve two small stones, the stones have each other's names written on them, and then make promises to each other, such as what will not be the same until death, and then the two of them are touched by themselves, maybe they will think that they can see things and think about people in the future.
Ning Fei also had a piece before, but it was thrown into the trash by his mother just a month later, and now he doesn't know which garbage dump he has been tossing and turning to.
The commodity street is still this commodity street, but now young people are used to calling it a couple's street.
He walked up to the old man, and another tall girl in a white down jacket with long hair and white snow boots also approached. They stopped at the same time, and they both looked at each other, slightly surprised.
Their targets were all this old man, but they didn't expect to meet the person they wanted to meet.
The old man raised his head, glanced at them, and squinted his eyes slightly: "Handsome guy and beauty, engraving?" β
Ning Fei glanced at the old man, and felt that this old man was also keeping pace with the times, once upon a time, he would only call girl, young man.
It's all a habit of doing business!
"Lettering." The girl's voice was like flowing water, crisp and pleasant, but mixed with a hint of sadness - like flowing water frozen.
Ning Fei glanced at her and sighed: "Then engrave the letter." β
The old man smiled slightly, took out two red heart-shaped stones from the black cartoon schoolbag with a hole in it, and a set of special tools, rubbed his hands and said, "You guys are just in time, I just got a new stone here!" Look, this is the same style as Li Chen, Li Chen, you should know, right? It's really not me who blows, on Lovers Street, no one dares to jump out and say that his craftsmanship is better than mine! β
When he said this, the old man was arrogant and proud.
No matter who he is, no matter how ordinary he is, even if he is like a dusty existence on a corner of this big city in the bright lights, he has his own pride.
"When I came from the street, an old man with a black hat said the same thing." The girl said seriously.
The old man raised his head and glanced at her, slightly displeased: "The little girl is really beautiful, but she doesn't speak beautifully!" β
The girl chuckled.
"Say, carve what?" The old man asked.
"One piece is engraved with the word 'fly', and the other piece is engraved with the word 'Yuan'." The girl said.
"Yes, no problem! It's soothing! The old man stroked his beard, "Give me two more minutes!" β
"Makes your memories freeze?" The girl was stunned.
"Yikes! You're also a Jay fan! Me too! The old man was a little excited, and looked at the girl's appearance as if he had a soulmate.
Girl: "......"
The old man carved the words, and Ning Fei spoke.
"Why is it the last one?" Ning Fei asked.
The girl did not speak, she simply squatted on the ground, and watched intently as the old man played his handiwork.
It's also an art.
Ning Fei squatted down with the girl.
"Do you know why I'm here to meet you?" The girl spoke suddenly.
"I don't know." Ning Fei said.
"You told me about this place before, and you told me that it's fun, it's interesting, there are many, many people you know, you like it, and you said you want to bring me here in the future." The girl said softly, "You forgot? β
Ning Fei didn't speakβhe did forget.
The old man raised his head: "Yo! Netizens meet? β
Ning Fei, girl: "......"
The old man took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, chirped them, and said, "Little girl, men on the Internet can't be trusted! The words in their mouths are all fake, look at me, my buckle head picture is still Wu Yanzu! Who knows who's who? The old man said very philosophically.
Ning Fei was angry: "You say I won't buy it again!" β
The old man looked at the girl with a stern face: "However, there are good and bad things in everything, and there are good and bad people on the Internet, for example, the one next to you looks like a righteous gentleman, and he is extraordinary!" β
The girl giggled and thought the old man was very interesting.
The old man's heart was stuffed, and he also opened his conscience for this business-in fact, he thought that Ning Fei was actually a thief, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Where are you going?" Ning Fei asked.
"Does it matter?" The girl glanced at Ning Fei and asked seriously.
Does it matter? Ning Fei didn't know what to say. Does it matter where the girl goes, or how long she is going? Maybe it will be important, but what if it is important, can you keep it? He felt like he had dug a hole of his own.
Ning Fei didn't answer, and the girl didn't urge Ning Fei to answer.
Perhaps they all know that this is an unanswered question.
"How long are you going?" Ning Fei asked.
"You want me back?" The girl said with a smile.
"If you come back, I can treat you to dinner." Ning Fei's expression was a little unnatural when he said this, maybe he also realized how idiotic he was.
The girl said to herself: "I don't know when I will come back, maybe soon, maybe, never again." β
Ning Fei was silent.
"My father was going to send me away to country Y, and he said that I was not suitable to be a soldier, not suitable to be a soldier, and it was better to study art." The girl said, holding her chin.
"Yo! Little girl, are you a soldier? The old man took a heavy drag on his cigarette and said.
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"That's good! Also, don't listen to your daddy's nonsense! Their old thoughts, they are a little ignorant, they feel tired of being a soldier, they feel that being a soldier is hard, they feel that the little girl's family is not suitable, and they are suitable to study art, that is all nonsense! One day, the devil came to Huaxia again to find excitement, what do you say? Carrying a violin and dancing ballet to fight with others? The old man said with great displeasure.
The girl gave a thumbs up: "That's right. β
"I think it's good to be a soldier, what you say, listen to what you say, don't listen to what is wrong, hey, if he has an opinion, let him come to me, I'll teach him to be a man!" The old man is very arrogant, and he is a hot-blooded old man in his bones!
After speaking, the old man grinned again, revealing a mouthful of old yellow teeth full of cigarette stains: "If I really fight with him, don't help him!" β
The girl laughed: "If you don't help, I won't help anyone." β
The old man nodded: "Thank you!" β
The girl couldn't laugh or cry.
The old man handed the two stones that had been threaded with red rope and engraved words to Ning Fei and the girl.
"For you, a total of five dollars!" The old man said.
"No price increases?" Ning Fei was surprised, "How many years, still five yuan?" β
"Hah! Looks like you've bought it before? The old man was slightly surprised, "Five yuan, it used to be to make money, but now it's not trying to make money!" β
Ning Fei smiled: "Why? β
"I just want to sit here, and I'll sit here if anybody comes to buy it." The old man's eyes looked into the distance, slightly melancholy.
This is an old man with a story.
"Can you tell me why?" Ning Fei asked.
"Don't sue you!" The old man was very cold.
Ning Fei couldn't laugh or cry, didn't ask much, stood up with the girl, said goodbye after giving the money, and turned to leave.
After Ning Fei and the girl left, the old man squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to open the broken bag, and looked at a military hat inside, his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
He took out his military hat and put it on his head, looked at the concrete ground under his feet, looked at the direction where Ning Fei and the girl left, and said with a serious face: "I am reluctant to go, there are my brothers with guns buried underneath!" β
He took off his hat after a military salute, put his hand into his sleeve again, and continued to shrink his neck and squint......
His voice echoed in the high-rise buildings of Chuhai City, and he was still the dust of that moment in the city.
Insignificant, but once as brilliant as the stars in the sky......
The girl and Ning Fei walked to the end of the street.
They visited four stores in total and spent forty-three dollars.
"It's time for me to go!" The girl straightened up and said.
Ning Fei didn't speak.
The girl tied the stone engraved with the word "Yuan" around Ning Fei's neck.
"Will you remember me? Will you remember me as Wei Yuanyuan? The girl looked at Ning Fei and asked.
Ning Fei clenched the stone around his neck: "I won't throw her away." β
"Why?" Wei Yuanyuan asked.
"Because ......" Ning Fei thought for a long time and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only find a lame reason, "Because this is the same style as Li Chen!" β
The girl laughed.
"Let's go." After Wei Yuanyuan finished speaking, she took a step back and stood up straight, "You go first, I want to watch you go." β
Ning Fei didn't move.
"Hurry up, give face!" Wei Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue.
Ning Fei smiled bitterly, turned around, left step by step, and finally turned a corner, and finally disappeared.
Wei Yuanyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, took out a mobile phone from her pocket, and made a call.
"Hello? Yuanyuan, I have already booked a ticket to country Y, hurry up. A man on the phone said.
"Dad, I'm not going to country Y, I decided, I still want to go to Yunlan!" Wei Yuanyuan took a deep breath and said.
"Why?" On the phone, the voice seemed to be a little angry, "Didn't you say okay?" β
"What are you asking me to do with art? Could it be that one day the devil will come to find excitement again, and you will let me carry the violin and dance the ballet to fight with others? Wei Yuanyuan smiled and said, "By the way, if you have an opinion, you can go to an old man who engraves the theory, he said that he wants to teach you how to be a man." β
After speaking, Wei Yuanyuan hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond, and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.
The sun is out, and the sun is just right.
