Heart Fire Chapter 26: Go to Tengzhi's place
As soon as the morning dawned, Su Wei tore off the quilt and whispered softly in my ear, get up, we are leaving.
I rubbed my sleeping eyes, looked out the window at the pale blue sky, and with a hint of sunshine, I sat up.
Today, we are going to the place where Tengzhi works.
Su Wei opened and checked the luggage she had packed yesterday again, muttering about the things we needed to bring, she was meticulous, folded her clothes neatly, and packed them with toiletries and food on the way.
"Come, lift your clothes." Su Wei held a piece of ginger in her hand.
"Huh? What is this for? I don't want to eat! "I was so scared that I covered my mouth.
"Silly boy, this is not for you to eat, to put your stomach on your stomach, for fear that you will get motion sickness." Su Wei said as she lifted my clothes and used a patch of cloth to stick the ginger slices on my navel.
Su Wei took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer and walked to the window to borrow light to look at the date.
"Come, Sissy, eat a slice." Su Wei poured the medicine into her hand and told me to swallow it.
"Mother, what is this?"
"It's motion sickness medicine, obedient, take it, it's a long way." Su Wei stuffed the medicine into my mouth and brought me a glass of water.
I swallowed with a snort, without any concern.
After checking everything, we were ready to go.
"Madame, Miss, please get in the car." Mao Chang opened the car door and covered it with one hand to prevent us from hitting our heads.
After we got into the car, Ah Mao put everything in the trunk for us.
The first time I went to Tengzhi's place of work, I was both worried and a little expectant, worried that he was living a very poor life, in addition to collecting these expenses to spend more, in anything, he was reluctant to let himself live well, in the past he was instilled by Jinyu The idea is deep-rooted, as long as he spends more energy and money on himself, he must not eat well and sleep well these days, he feels that he is a sinner, a luxurious life and a drunken life, he is indeed not that kind of person, That's why Ritsu won't let him touch the tavern.
I haven't been anywhere except Ziyang, although I often come and go in business, and sometimes I take Jin'er to see the world, but I have never been driven. And I hate growing up, I have always been instilled that I have to get married when I grow up, and starting a family for a woman may be the meaning of life, and the law once said that I and Jin'er will never be able to match.
If you are an adult, just listen to it.
I never take an adult's words to heart, just as I never keep something I hateful to eat in my mouth.
The adults around me are always blindly responding to other people's requests, and coaxing babies is the "trick" of adults.
Teng Zhi will always prevaricate me with some words, after I put forward various requests, he will readily agree, in the end, he will not only forget about it, even if he remembers this matter, he will find another reason to delay, disappointed a lot, and finally accumulate to no hope, has always made up his mind to himself, only he can really trust.
Once, I took Jin'er and I out shopping, and when I came to a shop that sold gloves, Jin'er stopped and looked, and knew at a glance that this was her favorite style, and the animal embroidery on it was very interesting, and I didn't ask much, so I bought it, and I mustered up the courage to ask, I also wanted such a thing, and I didn't care much, I just said that I would buy it later, until many years, I still remember this incident.
Ah Mao sent us to the platform of the train station, I took Su Wei's hand and walked in, she was very petite, weak and weak, plus carrying this duffel bag, I felt that this thing was going to crush her.
But she didn't let go of my hand.
She put her duffel bag down, gasping for breath, and I walked slowly behind her.
The first time I came here, people were anxiously waiting, many people had heavy bags on their shoulders, there were many with children, listening to their accents, many of them were outsiders, everyone was looking left and right waiting for the people in front of them to be able to hurry up. There are a few worn-out chairs in front of the train, specially for passengers to rest, the cyan chairs still have many mottled rust, some of the chair screws are loose, can not sit still, can only be supported by feet, if not particularly tired, no one will choose this chair.
When the train is about to stop at the station, the speed of moving forward will be from slow to fast, in the interval of moving forward, many reluctant eyes of lovers look at each other with affection, grasp the doorrail with their hands, and keep waving goodbye to their lovers until the figure disappears, leaving one person to stay in place and watch, which seems to be very sad.
I also really want to be able to take this car away from home and go far, far away, and I really want to escape from here and live alone, at that time, what kind of way will we say goodbye?
When the train arrived at the station, Su Wei asked me to get on the train first, she held her luggage hard, bumped her body from time to time, and jumped up to put the luggage on top of the seat, none of the men in the car could lend a hand, Su Wei wiped the sweat on her forehead and sat down.
The car started slowly, a stuffy smell immediately greeted me, I seemed to be in the car at the moment, a little motion sickness, some people took off their shoes, put their feet flat in front, some people fell asleep after the car started, so when I woke up to find that the luggage was stolen, Su Wei told me, anywhere, you have to remind the spirit of twelve.
I can now understand that Su Wei has given me so many preparations to prevent motion sickness.
Su Wei let me lie on her lap, patted me on the back and said, sleep, wake up.
I lay down on her lap, the car jerked from time to time, I went up and down, looked up at Su Wei, and found that she had her eyes closed, as if she was asleep in this bump.
She just told me the truth, but I didn't expect to fall asleep first.
I pretended to comfort myself that I couldn't sleep, it was like a rocking bed when I was a kid, and I woke up and it really came.
I don't know how long it took, but Su Wei woke me up.
It turns out that I also fell asleep.
"It's almost there, Sissy, look." Su Wei grinned happily and kept looking out the car window.
I looked left and right and saw that the people in the car were halfway down, and I didn't even notice it. I sat inside and watched the scenery on the side of the road being screened, and I felt like I had missed a lot of scenery.
"We'll get off here." Su Wei stood up, raised her right hand and waved.
When the master arrived at the station, he stepped on the brakes, and the driver impatiently took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Everybody's faster!"
After we got out of the car, Su Wei was picking up her luggage again, holding me tightly with one hand.
We walked out of the train station and waited on the side of the road for a while, Su Wei said, we have to take a car to get to Dongping.
"Huh? Also by car. I crouched down, my hands on my face, and an impatient expression on my face.
There were several trips to the car, but it was not the car, and more than half of the time passed, and it was finally enough to wait until I went to Dongping, and the car was full.
It took several hours for us to get in the car.
This time the smell of the car was even worse, not only the smell of gasoline, but also the people who had been sitting all the way with motion sickness, the smell of vomit filled the whole car, and the people who were eating baked cakes, the smell was all over the car, I covered my nose, and I was about to suffocate.
Finally, we got out of the car.
"Where's Father?" I looked at Su Wei.
"We're still there yet, we still have a long way to go." Su Wei took my hand and walked forward.
"Do you want to go? At this time, if Ah Mao grows how good it is. I sighed.
"We're here." Su Wei looked at me happily.
"May I ask if Gu Tengzhi is there?" Su Wei walked into the factory.
"Who are you?" A bearded man asked.
"I'm his wife." Su Wei smiled.
"I see, this is your daughter, please come in." The man helped us carry our luggage in.
"Hello."
Su Wei kept nodding her head in thanks.
This man looks very kind, even though his face is full of stubble, you can still see that he is handsome when he is young, he should have just entered middle age.
After we sat down, he poured us a cup of tea.
The taste of this tea is extremely bitter, and there are many tea leaves underneath, I took a sip and couldn't drink it anymore, compared to the tea that Qijun made for me, this tea was simply unpalatable, but I didn't expect Su Wei to drink it in one gulp, and asked for another cup.
"Tengzhi, my wife and daughter are here!" Another man shouted.
Su Wei looked at the machine inside from time to time, looking for Tengzhi's shadow.
"It's coming, it's coming." Teng Zhi ran over in a daze, and a group of people laughed.
"Why are you so slow?" Su Wei immediately stood up and said to Teng Zhi.
Teng Zhi scratched his head, "It's a little busy here, I didn't have time to pick you up when I received your letter." ”
"Boss, I'll take a vacation today and settle them first." Teng Zhi said to the man.
It turned out that this person was the boss.
We came to an inn where the neon lights on the old inn still flashed its sign, and the proprietor in a white shirt, wearing a pair of sunglasses on a big night, sat at the wooden counter, playing Go with himself, and when we walked up to him, he naturally smiled and entertained us.
"How much does it cost for a day here?" Teng Zhi asked the boss.
The boss looked at the three of us, "One hundred and fifty-one days." "Say a cigarette from the beginning.
"It's so expensive, can it be cheaper? We stayed for five days. Su Wei answered.
The boss took a puff of his cigarette, hesitated for a few minutes, sat down and continued to play Go.
"Let's go see the other ones." Su Wei pulled us away.
"This man is not in business."
"One hundred and twenty days, the cheapest." The boss got up and took out the keys.
"If you agree, you can go and see it now."
We looked at each other and thought it was still a bit expensive, and after a few last conversations, an agreement was reached in a hundred and one days.
The boss led us up to the third floor, and in the dark yellow corridor, there were a few ink paintings, one for every two rooms. The doors of the room are pure white, that is, the wooden door is sprayed with a layer of white paint, and its door lock is relatively simple, that is, the old-style door lock, the kind that can be buckled inside.
The boss opened the door and looked inside at a room that was still bright with two beds, and when I was ready to relax and lie down, Su Wei told me that I was in the opposite room.
The boss led me to the opposite room, the room is relatively small, only one bed, but the space is very wide, almost outside the view of the window, no need to turn on the lights at night, the neon lights on the side of the street can almost illuminate the whole room.
I wondered why they had to waste money on opening an extra one when they had two beds in their room.
Later, I also learned about the husband and wife.
