Chapter 166: To Beijing
The man seemed to be irritated by me, and he slapped me and was about to slap me, so he hurriedly turned his face away and closed his eyes. I didn't want to, I didn't wait for the pain, but I heard the man's wail.
Then I heard Li Wenbin's trembling voice.
"Tong Tong is not afraid," he took me into his arms, and soothed me softly, but his voice was a little excited, and his body trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because he was angry or afraid.
"You kid dare to beat me, don't you want to live, don't you ......" The man on the side scolded and grinned, but he didn't dare to do anything to Li Wenbin.
Li Wenbin's sharp eyes swept him, ignored him and lifted the hug on the ground, put his arm around my shoulder and walked towards the entrance of the station. I snuggled up to him and muttered, "Tong Tong is scared. ”
He put his arm around my shoulders and said in an extremely firm tone: "Don't be afraid, I won't let people bully you again in the future." ”
I curled up in his arms, pursed my lips, and whispered, "Thirsty, Tongtong is so thirsty." ”
Li Wenbin looked down and saw that my lips were dry like that, his bright eyes shrank slightly, and he pulled me to the side of the commissary to buy me two bottles of water, opened them and handed them to my mouth.
"Drink slowly, don't choke." He asked his boss for another pack of tissues, and pulled one out to wipe the water stains on my neck. I was so thirsty that I held the bottle and drank it again. I didn't put the bottle down until a bottle of water bottomed out.
Li Wenbin bought a ticket for the latest flight, and after getting on the bus, I fell asleep in his arms.
When I returned to Li's house, it was already very late, but the Li family's small courtyard was still brightly lit, and the family didn't sleep, even Grandma Li, who had always slept after dark.
When Li Wenbin pulled me into the house, they saw that the expression on my face was very strange, and they were relieved and sad at first, Li Wenbin only said that we were back, and then pulled me into the hut where I lived, and went out to bring me a basin of water, wiped my face, and comforted me to sleep.
At night I had a dream about the man I bumped into on the street that day, he was looking for me everywhere, and in the dream I was awake as if I had forgotten nothing, but when I woke up the next day I didn't remember anything.
Since Li Wenbin got me back, the people of the Li family have treated me lightly and lukewarmly.
The day before leaving Li's house, Li Wenbin had another quarrel with Li's father, and I vaguely heard Li Wenbin say that he could have promised not to take me there, but he was very disappointed by what they did, so he had to take me away.
On the day we left, Father Li looked at us very depressed, Mother Li covered her mouth and cried, Grandma Li didn't come out, I don't know if she was sick.
I don't know how Li Wenbin persuaded them.
When we were waiting for the bus on the side of the road, Li Mengya chased after her, she quarreled with Li Wenbin again, she scolded him for being unfilial, and didn't even listen to his parents for the sake of a crazy woman. Li Wenbin took my hand and kept silent, letting her scold.
Later, Li Mengya also cried. When we got in the car, I ran over and hugged Li Wenbin again.
I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable looking at her like that. After getting in the car, I grabbed the corner of Li Wenbin's clothes and asked, "Why is my sister crying?" ”
Li Wenbin touched my head and smiled: "She is reluctant to let you go, so she cried." ”
In fact, Li Mengya is three years younger than me.
I listened, seemed to understand, and nodded.
Because I didn't have documents, I couldn't take the train, so Li Wenbin took me to Xining first, and then took a long-distance bus to Beijing.
The bus from Xining to Beijing has to run for a day and a night, during which I am very excited, lying on the sleeper with a pair of big eyes, I can't sleep, as long as I think of the word "Beijing", I will be very excited.
Li Wenbin saw that I didn't sleep all the way, so he began to tell me stories, all he told stories in villain books, I loved to listen to them, and slowly became fascinated, and then began to feel sleepy.
It was noon the next day to Beijing, and the bus ended at the Liuliqiao long-distance bus station in Beijing. Li Wenbin's comrades-in-arms had been waiting at the exit for a long time, and as soon as they saw us, they greeted us and enthusiastically took the two large suitcases in Li Wenbin's hands. He smiled at me.
Li Wenbin may have mentioned me to him, so he was not very surprised to see me, but looked at me with a trace of sympathy.
Li Wenbin's comrade-in-arms is called Wu Jiang, who retired from the team a year earlier than Li Wenbin, and looks one or two years younger than Li Wenbin, and he respects Li Wenbin very much. Later, I learned that Li Wenbin was the squad leader of Wujiang in the army, and the friendship between the two was very strong.
Wu Jiang took us to his rented place, which was a semi-basement, and he also helped rent one when Li Wenbin decided to come. After putting down Li Xing, Wu Jiang took us to a small restaurant for lunch. The small restaurant opened by Wu Jiang is in a small street in the Asian Games Village, the front door is decorated well, and the store is very clean, but it is a meal, but there are few people inside.
As soon as we entered the store, a woman with a round face greeted us with a smile. Looking at the appearance of being twenty-three or fourteen years old, Wu Jiang introduced us and said that his cousin's name was Wu Xiaoli, who helped the cashier serve food in the store.
After sitting down, Wu Jiang asked the back kitchen to cook a few dishes for us, opened the wine, and beckoned us to eat first. Wu Xiaoli was also very enthusiastic, and her eyes narrowed into lines when she looked at Li Wenbin.
On this day and night, we ate bread on the road, I was already hungry, as soon as I saw the meat, I kept swallowing saliva, Li Wenbin looked at my little gluttony, touched my head lovingly, and sandwiched a piece of meat for me.
Wu Xiaoli also sat down at the table after serving the food, and seeing that I was a little stupid, she pointed to her head and asked Li Wenbin, "Does she ...... Is there a problem? ”
Wu Jiang glanced at her, the look in his eyes seemed to tell her to shut up, but Wu Xiaoli looked at Li Wenbin with a curious expression.
"She was a little irritated, so ...... It's a bit of a problem for now, but she's smart and a quick learner. Saying that, Li Wenbin gave me another chopstick dish, and whispered to me, "Eat slowly." ”
I chewed the meat in my mouth and nodded at him.
This scene is seen in the eyes of the cousins opposite, each with a different color.
After eating, Wu Jiang called the other two people in the store to introduce us, the chef Lao Ye, and Huang Xiaoming, who was in charge of the side dishes, and then chatted with Li Wenbin about the current situation in the store.
Seeing me like that, Li Wenbin came over and asked me to sleep on his shoulder, and then continued to listen to Wu Jiang talk about the store.
In this way, Li Wenbin took a stake in a small restaurant in Wujiang, and the two of them worked in a hurry, but after half a year, the small restaurant still did not improve, and sometimes they could make some money every month and sometimes lose money, and the two began to be a little anxious.
And in the past six months, I have also learned a lot of things, and I can take care of myself completely, without Li Wenbin washing my face and combing my hair every day, I can take care of myself, go to the store with him, and help wash dishes and vegetables in the back kitchen.
On this day, I was seriously washing the dishes, Wu Xiaoli suddenly ran over, came to my side, smiled very sweetly at me, then glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Do you sleep in the same bed with Brother Wen Bin at night?" ”
I looked at her, thought about it very seriously, and shook my head lightly.
"And how do you sleep?" She looked at me curiously.
"I sleep in bed, he sleeps underground." I rarely speak, but occasionally I do say a few words.
After listening to this, the corners of Wu Xiaoli's mouth hooked, and her small eyes narrowed again, as if she was very happy, and then she moved closer to me and asked, "Does he usually kiss you?" ”
I frowned, not knowing what she meant by 'pro'.
Wu Xiaoli saw my confusion, quickly kissed me on the face, and said with a smile: "That's it...... Did he have. ”
I pushed her away and glared at her, "Shameless." ”
Li Wenbin told me that when he was not by my side, don't let others touch me, and I firmly remembered this sentence.
Wu Xiaoli was pushed by me and sat on the ground, looking at me and crying and laughing.
"Why?" Huang Xiaoming came in and saw Wu Xiaoli sitting on the ground, and hurriedly helped her up.
"It's fine." Wu Xiaoli was a little embarrassed.
After Wu Xiaoli walked out, Huang Mingming squatted beside me and asked in a low voice, "Is she trying to bully you?" ”
"She's shameless." I told Huang Xiaoming very seriously.
Huang Xiaoming looked at my extremely serious little face, laughed, and pulled me up, "Don't wash it, I'll wash it later." I'll teach you how to stir-fry. With that, he pulled me to the stove and instructed me to give you a hand.
Huang Xiaoming is now also a chef, and he cooks several Sichuan dishes on the menu because he is from Sichuan.
I stood aside and watched him cook, and suddenly my hand was a little itchy, so I pulled the corner of his clothes, pointed to the pot, and pointed to myself.
"You want to try it too, don't you?"
I nodded busily.
"Okay, then I'll teach you one." As he spoke, Huang Xiaoming looked like a master and gave up his seat and asked me to stand in front of the stove.
I wiped my hands, Mo Ming was a little excited, glanced at the shredded meat and pepper on the side, without waiting for Huang Xiaoming to speak, I turned on the fire by myself, and when I saw that the pot was dry, I poured some oil, patted a garlic, put it in the oil and stirred it fragrant, and put the meat ......
Huang Xiaoming originally wanted to command, but it can be seen that I am very skilled in operation, so he stood aside and looked at me silently.
I was handily cooking the vegetables, and the back of a man suddenly flashed in my mind, with a black apron around his waist, stir-frying the vegetables neatly.
The picture flashes by and is fleeting.
"Xiao Ming, how can you let Tong Tong cook?" Li Wenbin's voice suddenly sounded behind the voice.
Huang Xiaoming put his fingers between his lips to signal him not to speak, and then used his eyes to convey a message to him.
Li Wenbin was silently walked to my side and looked at me. And I didn't know it, I was so busy with all my heart and soul that my fried shredded pork with sharp peppers was out of the pot in a while.
Both men looked at me in disbelief.
Huang Xiaoming directly pinched a piece of shredded meat with his hand and put it in his mouth, nodding while tasting it, "Mom, I didn't expect Tong Tong to have this skill, brother, try it." ”
Li Wenbin took a pair of chopsticks from the side, tasted them, and looked at me while chewing, with a look of shock in his eyes.
