Chapter 30 The Post Station
It wasn't until noon the next day that several people woke up one after another, Li Jun could hear the "cooing" sound of his stomach protesting, Zhang Dongliang and Yang Hongtao were not in the dormitory, only the three of them who returned late from watching the video yesterday, the weather outside didn't know when it became cloudy, Li Jun went down from the top bunk to the ground and opened the curtains to see the gloomy weather outside, as if it was going to rain, and glanced at Gao Yujun on the top bunk who slept very quietly, and had no intention of waking up at all.
"What time is Li Jun?" may have heard the sound of Li Jun getting up, Guo Jibin woke up first, turned over on the bed and thought about going to get a cigarette to smoke.
"It's half past eleven, I said that the first thing Binzi did when he got up was not to eat but to eat cigarettes, right? You're addicted! Yesterday it was a fire for a long time, and your 'Peach' lady is not here, so I can't help you vent the fire. As he spoke, he looked at Guo Jibin and laughed.
"You kid learned to make fun of me, didn't you? It's not that you were depressed the other day, I didn't plan to get up early and smoke you, and I have to smoke two cigarettes to make more second-hand smoke to smoke you. Saying that, Guo Jibin sat up and lit a cigarette directly, took an affectionate puff and spit out the smoke in the direction of Li Jun.
Hearing the joking voices of Li Jun and Guo Jibin, Gao Yujun also opened his eyes, looked at the two of them and said: "Comfortable, this sleep is enough to make up for the fright I suffered with Bin Zi yesterday", and looked at Guo Jibin with a smile after speaking, "Did you load the Chinese cigarette that Wang Dong's family didn't smoke yesterday, and give me a stick." "Smokers have a virtue.
"No, you open your eyes and help Li Jun laugh at me together, even if I don't suck it for you, you still suck your 'Huaguang'!" As he spoke, he proudly took a sip of 'China' in his mouth.
"Let's stop sucking, let's go eat, the stomach has been protesting for a long time!" Li Jun really couldn't stand the smoke released by the two chimneys in this cramped dormitory together, although he also took a few symbolic puffs of cigarettes last night, but he smoked it under extreme height, and his throat burned like fire when he woke up this morning.
"Okay, I won't smoke anymore, I'm not as addicted as Binzi, shall we go to the cafeteria to eat or go out to eat?" Gao Yujun also sat up from the bed and looked at Li Jun with his eyes rubbed.
"I want to eat dumplings! I've never seen dumplings in the cafeteria, so let's go out and find a place to eat dumplings. Li Jun remembered the dumplings made by his mother for no reason, but it was impossible to go back now.
"Okay, let's go out to eat, I'll take you to the Shanxi noodle restaurant to eat Shanxi dumplings, even a bowl of soup and dumplings is called a cool!" Gao Yujun got off the bed to the ground, picked up the basin and walked out, "Let's go wash my face first, I drank so much wine and smoked a lot of cigarettes yesterday, and I accompanied Bin Zi to see the 'peach' at night. ”
Guo Jibin shook his head helplessly, "Boss Gao will come back to smoke for you in a while, let's not have long peaches and short peaches, if our family knows about it, we should ignore me!"
"Then it depends on how you perform in the future!" Gao Yujun opened the door and was just about to go out, when Zhang Dongliang, Yang Weitao and Zhang Wenyong walked in with rice bowls.
"Boss Gao, what 'peach', there are no peaches to eat this season, right?" Zhang Dongliang looked serious.
"It's nothing, there are really no peaches this season!" Guo Jibin hurriedly gave Gao Yujun a look, "What kind of meal is it at noon?" Then he asked Zhang Dongliang intimately.
"Binzi, you have a problem!" Zhang Dongliang looked at Guo Jibin and frowned and said, "What else can I eat, it's nothing more than the same old thing, sour steamed buns and vegetables without oil and water, you guys can really sleep, why did you run back in the middle of the night yesterday, didn't you see a good movie?" Zhang Dongliang showed a wicked smile on his face.
"Don't mention it!" Li Jun also picked up the basin from under the bed and planned to wash his face too, the sweat in the video hall last night was still flowing down, and his face and body were now sticky, "I almost couldn't come back yesterday!" After speaking, he ignored Zhang Dongliang, who was confused, and the three of them pushed the door and walked out.
When he walked to the water room, Gao Yujun had already washed his face and was wiping his face with a towel, and after seeing Li Jun enter the water room, he said with a smile: "How is it?" Is it the 'head' who is interrogating Binzi. ”
"Just this matter, who doesn't know, it's nothing, who can not watch a movie, as long as the 'head' and Bin don't say 'good' to them." As he spoke, he put the basin on the sink, unscrewed the water hose to wash his face, and the cold water sprinkled on his face, Li Jun only felt refreshed, and then picked up the water in his hand and washed the exposed parts such as his neck and arms.
Gao Yujun waited for Li Jun to finish cleaning up, and left the water room together and walked towards the dormitory, before he reached the door, he heard the laughter of Yang Weitao and Zhang Dongliang in the dormitory, Li Jun and Gao Yujun glanced at each other, and thought, "It seems that Guo Jibin still told these people about last night." ”
When I walked to the door, I heard Zhang Dongliang say: "Binzi, you guys are really good at backing, no matter how many videos others watch, you are not like you, and you were almost caught in the bureau the first time." ”
"Who doesn't say it, we must stay away from Guo Jibin when we do bad things in the future." When Li Jun walked into the dormitory, he laughed, "No, how many times does the 'head' make others look at it?" Looks like you've been watching it too, right? As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Dongliang with slanted eyes.
"Hurry up and confess, confess leniently, and resist strictly!" Guo Jibin finally seized the opportunity.
"No, I haven't seen it, I'm just making an analogy, people's video halls have been open for so long, and it must be indispensable to put 'additional films', but the first time you went, you were swept away by the anti-pornography." Zhang Dongliang's face was innocent.
"Okay, don't discuss this, let's just talk and laugh in the dormitory, you two pay attention to your mouths, don't reach your 'horse' ears." Gao Yujun put down the basin and asked Guo Jibin for a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, took a puff and looked at the two of them and said.
"I'm sure I won't let our family Qianqian know about such a shameful thing, 'head', you have to cover your mouth tightly, don't use this matter to make your family happy." said that he twisted his head and looked at Zhang Dongliang, looking distrustful.
"Don't worry, buddy's mouth is tight!" Zhang Dongliang looked confident.
"Okay, let's go find a place to eat dumplings, will you three go?" Gao Yujun said and looked at Zhang Dongliang.
"Go ahead, we've all come back with food, we can't waste it!" Yang Weitao took a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of vegetables in the rice basin, "I just saw that Su Huili and Xiao Jinyuan also went to the canteen to eat, so you don't have to worry about them."
Gao Yujun, who originally planned to go to the dormitory opposite the door to call his "comrades-in-arms" who returned last night, heard Yang Weitao's words and walked directly outside with Li Jun and Guo Jibin.
Because most of the classmates have gone home, the corridor is also extraordinarily quiet, a few people walked out of the dormitory building and walked out of the school along the boulevard outside, the sky became more and more gloomy, Li Jun looked up at the clouds in the sky and said to Gao Yujun: "Where is Boss Gao going to eat dumplings, look at this day, maybe it will rain heavily in a while, let's go and come back quickly, don't come back for a while." ”
"It's really uncertain this day, let's go here, if it doesn't work, just pack it up." As he spoke, Gao Yujun pointed to the left side of the school gate, and then several people quickened their pace and walked to the west.
After turning to a north-south street in the west, I walked a short distance to the south and saw a small door face on the steps on the west side of the road, the door was open, and there was a half-cut white curtain hanging on the door, and there was a small door head above the door curtain that read "Shanxi dumpling knife cut noodles". It was time to eat, and Li Jun saw through the open door that it was almost full, except for one table near the door, which was empty.
Gao Yujun said to the young master who was holding noodles with his left hand under the shed at the door, and was cutting noodles in the pot with a slightly curved iron sheet in his right hand: "Come to three bowls of dumplings, hurry up, let's go back quickly after eating, and look at the rain!" ”
The noodle shaving master did not stop with the knife in his hand, still doing the work in his hand with the knife flying, and said in his mouth: "The three of you go to the house to sit down first, and I will cook dumplings for you immediately!"
After saying that, he put the dough on the board next to him, picked up a large fence and stirred it in the pot, turned on the button of the hair dryer next to him, blew the stove below, and turned around and entered the house.
Li Jun and the three of them also sat on the edge of the table at the door, watched the noodle shaving master walk to the freezer in the corner of the room with a tray, lift the lid of the freezer and take out some dumplings from it, and then turned around and walked to the edge of the pot, scooped up the noodles in the pot with a fence and put the dumplings directly into the pot.
"Would you like another bottle of beer?" Gao Yujun looked at Li Jun and Guo Jibin and asked.
"I'm not coming, I'm going to have class in the evening, and I'll give the head teacher a lesson!" Li Jun directly refused.
"Hurry up and withdraw after eating the dumplings!" Guo Jibin has no intention of being thorough.
"Then eat dumplings." Saying that, he took out a head of garlic in the box on the table and broke off a few cloves to peel it, Li Jun also peeled a few petals, watched the cooking master take three bowls first, put soy sauce and other seasonings in the bowl, and then poured some soup into the bowl with a big spoon, and after about two minutes, the dumplings were taken out of the pot and divided into three bowls, and the three of them were served.
"Is this a dumpling or a ravioli?" Li Jun used to eat this way only when his mother made wontons.
"Shanxi dumplings are this way to eat, eat, delicious!" Gao Yujun picked up a dumpling with chopsticks, blew it a few times, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that Gao Yujun ate so fragrantly, Li Jun's stomach made a "gurgling" sound again, and he also learned to put a dumpling into his mouth, and the dumplings with rich soup immediately made Li Jun's appetite increase, this way of eating with soup is more smooth than eating dumplings dry, and the combination of meat and green onions is also very delicious, a bowl of dumplings in less than 5 minutes will all enter the stomach, Li Jun drank a mouthful of dumpling soup with satisfaction and watched the two of them gobble up a clean light.
"How? Tastes good, right? Gao Yujun wiped his mouth with a napkin, and wanted to take a cigarette from his pocket.
"The dumplings are so good, delicious!" Li Jun said and took out 5 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the noodle shaving master next to him.
Seeing that Li Jun took out the money, Gao Yujun didn't touch the cigarette anymore, he had to ask the master to give the money to Li Jun and he came to pay, the two argued for a while, and finally Li Jun said: "Next time you come to please, thank you for bringing me to eat such delicious dumplings today!" ”
At this time, the wind outside showed signs of getting stronger, "Let's withdraw, or it will be drenched in a while!" Li Jun took the recovered 5 cents directly from the noodle shaving master and went out.
The three of them trotted in the direction of the school, and as soon as they entered the school gate, the raindrops of beans were dripping, and they turned to the west path and ran along the dense boulevard to the door of the classroom. At this time, the rain had poured down like a pearl with a broken thread, and seeing that the lock on the classroom door had been opened, several people slammed the door open and broke into the classroom without thinking.
The moment the door was knocked open, Li Jun heard the screams of a girl in the classroom, and the sound sounded like Wu Zhuolin's voice, and after entering the classroom, he found that it was indeed Zhang Dongliang and Wu Zhuolin who were sitting in the seats in the back row of the classroom. When a few people pushed the door open violently just now, because the speed was too fierce, they almost hit a stool on Wu Zhuolin's body.
"I'm scared to death, what are you guys doing, you thought you were robbers!" Wu Zhuolin clutched his chest, looking silent.
"Sorry, excuse me!" Guo Jibin looked at Zhang Dongliang with a smile.
Looking at Guo Jibin's appearance, Zhang Dongliang didn't say anything, but Wu Zhuolin next to him said with a smile: "We don't have any sweet honey, and we have no place to eat 'peaches', have you been chased here by someone to watch the video again?" After speaking, he glanced at Gao Yujun and Li Jun with a provocative face.
The faces of the three of them suddenly turned blue and red for a while, and they all looked at Zhang Dongliang angrily, this kid had just said in the dormitory that he would not tell Wu Zhuolin, and before half an hour had passed, he told all his "Ma Zi", and he swore that he would not say it.
Zhang Dongliang knew that he was at a loss, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the three of them, "Just look at it, what's there?" Are you doing bad things, and you are still afraid that others will say, do you say it is Zhang Dongliang? Wu Zhuo Linhao didn't show weakness and went to pull Zhang Dongliang's ears, "Have you gone to see it with them?" ”
"Of course he went, he took us there, and said that he used to go to the video hall to watch movies, but he had never been caught, and we were almost arrested the first time", Li Jun also coaxed on the side, "That is, it was all the 'head' who drank and said that he wanted to watch it all night." ”
Wu Zhuolin's hand twisted tighter, Zhang Dongliang's face turned red, and he shouted: "It hurts, it hurts, I didn't go to see it, do you believe them or me?" As he spoke, he used his hand to break Wu Zhuolin's hand.
"I've turned over you, and I dare to resist!" Wu Zhuolin stood up directly and twisted Zhang Dongliang's two ears with two hands.
Li Jun and the three of them looked at the two of them with a laugh on the side, and secretly shouted in their hearts that Zhang Dongliang was really self-inflicted.
The rain outside the classroom almost turned into a downpour at the moment, and the sky became like night, the wind blew the big tree in front of the door, and some branches knocked on the glass window to make a crackling sound, and the wind and rain blew in through the crack in the door, Li Jun hurriedly closed the door tightly.
Looking at the abnormal weather outside, Zhang Dongliang and the two of them also stopped fighting, and several people stood in front of the door or in front of the window to watch the raging storm outside, and their hearts were also fluctuating.
The rain lasted for about half an hour and then gradually became lighter, and after a while, the rain stopped completely, and the sky gradually became clearer, and Li Jun and the three of them didn't bother to stay in the classroom to disturb Zhang Dongliang and the others, so they went back to the dormitory directly.
The dormitory is still stuffy, the wind and rain just now just washed the world behind, in the closed dormitory because the window was closed when it rained, the air was even more dull, Li Jun opened the window, and the fresh air after the rain came to his face, so that his spirit was also lifted, Gao Yujun climbed on his top bunk to prepare to make up for sleep, Guo Jibin sat on his bed and lit a cigarette, and the smell of smoke instantly filled this small space.
Li Jun stretched his waist and climbed onto his top bunk, but he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, so he took out the diary under his pillow and wrote it down after thinking about it for a long time.
"The Station"
Connecting the youth that is not connected
Accompanied by a thousand strands of sorrow
I had no choice but to leave
I had no choice but to stop
I want to look back on my journey
Trying to understand the preciousness of life
Until the first stop
But it's always a wasted spring and autumn
I'm confused
Why?
Isn't the day when you once swore a lot of promises young?
The days that I have worked hard for are as red as flowers
Was that incident wrong?
I'm obsessed with the stars
Obsessed with yourself
Finally understood
I was wrong before
The futility of their own golden hour falls
thereupon
I have to go
Embark on the journey again
After writing, put the book under the pillow and lay down again, the wind outside continued to blow into the room, and it was very cool to stay on the top bunk at the window, and slowly Li Jun also fell asleep.
At four o'clock, Li Jun was woken up by the noisy sound of the dormitory, rubbed his eyes, saw Yang Xinli talking to Wang Dong on the lower bunk, saw Li Jun wake up, Xinli came over and took out 200 yuan from his coat pocket and handed it to Li Jun, and said: "Your father asked me to bring it to you, I'm afraid you won't have enough money to eat, and let me tell you that everything is fine at home, don't worry, as long as you study hard."
Li Jun's heart was hot again, he was drinking and watching all-night videos at school, but the old man at home was still worried about his eating and drinking, and he was really ashamed, thinking about what he said to Yang Xinli: "Thank you Xinli, I must study hard!"
Yang Xinli was no longer polite, and said: "I came with Qizi, he has something to go to the classroom, we should really study hard and not live up to our parents' expectations, you can rest for a while, and I will go back to our dormitory." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of their dormitory.
