Chapter 290: Night Food Stall
We came to the hospital parking lot.
"Didn't you come by car, Secretary Cheng?" I say.
"I know you bought a new car, why are you still driving?" Cheng Wei raised his eyes to look at me.
"Oh, what kind of car am I?"
"Don't say that. I appreciate my brother's concept of advanced consumption. Give, a little meaning. Cheng Wei gave out a red envelope.
"What? Can't you bribe me like that? ”
"It's auspicious, hurry up and collect it."
I took the red envelope. There is a custom in Yangjiang County that when relatives and friends buy a car or house, they must give red envelopes and give auspiciousness.
"Thank you." I say.
"The firecrackers will stop shooting."
"What other firecrackers? By the way, where are we going to get drunk? "I propose. It's rare for Cheng Wei to be so free.
"Still drunk? The doctor told me to drink less. However, it's hard to be with my brother, and I can't talk about it without drinking. ”
"It's good to know that. We went for beer, which was diuretic. ”
"Then let's go to the supper stall."
"Okay."
I drove to Nanjing Road and received a call from Jin Limei, and I remembered that I was going to Yangjiang Driving School to pick them up.
"Are you interested in taking you to meet two beauties?" I said to Cheng Wei.
"Okay. It's not that you don't know that my brother is as lonely as you. Cheng Wei said.
"Our brothers are brothers, even in this regard." Cheng Wei already knew about my divorce.
"This is called sharing hardships and blessings."
"Not really."
We came to Yangjiang Driving School, and Dong Yunfen and Jin Limei were already waiting at the gate of the driving school. They got in the car.
"I'm sorry, I have to wait, right?" I said, "I've got a friend." ”
"I'm afraid Zheng Yidao forgot about us." Jin Limei said.
"How could that be? I was about to pick you up, you called, if you don't believe it, you can ask Secretary Cheng. I said.
"Zheng Yidao has been thinking about you." Cheng Wei lied for me.
I introduced everyone in the car, and Cheng Wei took the opportunity to invite Jin Limei and Dong Yunfen to dine together, and they happily agreed. Dong Yunfen called back to ask for leave. I also called Xu Xiaorou. I originally planned to ask Xu Xiaorou to come to dinner with me, but she firmly disagreed, and instead wanted me to go home for dinner. She thought about the food she had bought in the morning going to waste.
The sun hadn't completely set yet, but the stall owners had already set up their tents early. The red tents are particularly dazzling. Some of the tents were empty, and some were already sitting in them.
We picked out an empty tent. The stall owner came over very warmly to greet and serve tea. Cheng Wei rushed to order. The stall owner then brought peanuts and melon seeds and a case of beer.
"What do beauties drink?" Cheng Wei asked.
"Wine, of course. These two are a lot. I said.
"Ah, that's bad, I asked the waiter to bring the beer and replace it." Cheng Wei called for the waiter.
"Aren't you not allowed to drink liquor?" I say.
"Such a rare opportunity, accompanied by beautiful women, you have to drink if you can't drink it."
"Secretary Cheng, don't drink if you can't drink it. We can't drink anything, don't listen to Zheng's fools. Dong Yunfen said.
"Oh, I'm fooling? I've learned how much you drink many times. I said.
"Just drink beer, it's comfortable to drink beer in the summer." Jin Limei said.
"Let's have a beer, then." I say.
Cheng Wei did not insist. The waiter stepped back. After a while, two dishes came up. Cheng Wei opened a case of beer in one go.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all open? I asked.
"What is this? Come on, come on, each person takes three bottles first. Pour the wine over. ”
Dong Yunfen and Jin Limei resigned, but in the end they reached an agreement - we have three bottles and two bottles. Cheng Wei agreed, which made me miserable. Jin Limei looked at me and smiled.
We drank cup by cup. Cheng Wei is enthusiastic, and he doesn't have a secretary's shelf.
In fact, every time Cheng Wei comes to me, he comes to relax. I also know that it is not easy to be the leader of a town, it seems that the scenery is beautiful, and there are many people who bow their heads to him and bow down to him, but only they know how bitter it is.
After all, in our country, grassroots officials are the most difficult to do.
We toast each other. Cheng Wei came up and proposed to drink in groups. The so-called drinking group is to drink several cups in one go. There is also a small group and a large group. Three cups in one breath is called a small group, and six drinks in one breath is called a large group. I had already drunk this with my Kim brothers when I was in college.
Cheng Wei drank with the two ladies, and then encouraged me.
"Oh, spare me, I can't hold on to drinking it so often, and I can still have a small group?" I say.
"Why can't you come? We can't lose to women? Cheng Wei egged me on.
"Why don't we honor you?" Dong Yunfen said.
"No, no, no, no." I shook my hand again and again.
"Women challenge you, and you don't dare to accept it, what kind of man is it?" Cheng Wei shouted.
"You can't say that." Jin Limei said.
"It seems that the golden beauty wants a beautiful woman to save the hero?" Cheng Wei said provocatively.
"It's not a beautiful woman who saves the hero, Secretary Cheng is so polite to salute a small group of us, we don't return the salute, it seems that we are too impolite. Yun Fen, you say yes, right? ”
"That's it." Dong Yunfen said.
"Don't mind. Of course I'm glad you toasted me. Let's have a round of Brother Zheng first. Today we are going to make your Zheng Yidao happy. Cheng Wei said.
"I'm already happy." I say.
"Today, I can't be happy when I see Zheng Yidao no matter how much he drinks." Jin Limei said.
"Why do you say that?" Cheng Wei asked. Dong Yunfen looked at Jin Limei.
"You don't know. At noon, I almost died of fright when I took Zheng Yidao's car. What did she say that she saw her childhood playmate she hadn't seen for eighteen years, that is, his childhood sweetheart, and guess what, he drove all over the street to find it. It really scared the hell out of me. ”
"Eighteen years? Brother still has such an unforgettable childhood sweetheart? Talk about it, say it, listen to it. Cheng Wei's interest suddenly shifted.
"What's there to say about this kind of thing." I say.
"Is it a secret?" Dong Yunfen said.
"There's really nothing to say."
"Then drink. Hurry up and salute each of us a small group. We're all waiting for it. Dong Yunfen said.
"I advise you to talk about your childhood sweetheart." Jin Limei said.
"It's not a childhood sweetheart, it's just that they grew up together." Instead of drinking, it's better to talk about childhood sweethearts, "Have you heard of the East Gate?" That's where my father was devolved. I was born there. I'm looking for the granddaughter of the guy we live with, a year younger than me. ”
"Is it pretty?" Jin Limei asked.
"At that time, I didn't care if it was beautiful or not." I say.
"She must be nice to you."
I nodded, "Maybe it's because I'm living in her house." We went to school together, played hide and seek together, and went up the mountain together to pick up the red ...... It wasn't until I was thirteen years old that I returned to the city with my father. ”
"Why did your father come back to the city so late? In general, it seems that in the mid-70s, the educated youth returned to the city. Cheng Wei said.
"Because my parents are teachers. The school where my parents taught couldn't find teachers, so it was several years late. I can't remember anything else, but I remember the day I went back to the city, my grandmother found the car, and she and her father and grandfather gave us a ride, and when the car started, I saw her chasing the car in the rearview mirror. I choked up and couldn't go on.
Everyone was quiet.
"She used to say she was going to be a butterfly, and she could stop on my shoulder and walk with me while I was gone. But I could only watch her shadow grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared. I said.
"It's so touching." Dong Yunfen said.
"But how can I not see each other for eighteen years?" Jin Limei asked.
"I promised her that I would definitely visit her during the summer vacation of the second year, but during the summer vacation of the second year, my parents were busy decorating the house and didn't have time to take me there. I continued.
"You can ask where her family has moved. Relocations like this are organized and arranged. Jin Limei said.
"Their family has not moved. Instead, before the move, the family moved because of an accident, and no one knows where they moved. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Jin Limei said.
"It was her father who got drunk and injured the village chief's son, and her father thought he had died, so he moved the family." I explained.
"You haven't seen them since?" Dong Yunfen was moved.
"Yes. I've been looking for her for so many years, and I want to explain to her why I didn't go to see her the next summer, and I hope to have that opportunity. "The more I talked, the sadder I became.
"Don't be sad, Zheng Yidao, you will definitely meet her." Dong Yunfen said.
"Eighteen years." I say.
"Then how do you say you met her at noon?" Cheng Wei asked.
"It's not that I met, it's that I caught a glimpse of her eyes."
"Eyes?" They were amazed.
"When I was driving to the county government road at noon, a tricycle came past me, and the woman sitting on the tricycle looked back at me, and I caught a glimpse of her eyes."
"Can you be sure it's your childhood sweetheart just by catching a glimpse of her eyes?" Cheng Wei asked.
"It had to be her. Each one has his own eyes. ”
"Unforgettable eyes." Jin Limei said.
"I drove around and around this afternoon and didn't bump into it."
"Have you posted any notices or advertisements?" Cheng Wei asked.
"Nope."
"Oh, if you're sure she's in Yangjiang, and you go to the TV station to post a notice like this, won't you be able to get in touch with her soon?"
"Yes, Zheng Yidao, this is a good way." Dong Yunfen said.
"Could it be that your childhood sweetheart will not be able to run away from you?" Jin Limei said.
"How could that be?" I say.
"Then Secretary Cheng's method will definitely help you find her." Dong Yunfen said.
"Why didn't I think of this?" Indeed, if Hao Junqi is sure to be in Yangjiang, it is a good way to send a notice to the TV station.
"Aren't there scrolling subtitles above or below the TV? As long as your childhood sweetheart watches TV, she will definitely pay attention to your notice, and she notices your notice, can't she be contacted immediately? ”
"Then let's go to the TV station." I got up from my position excitedly.
"You're in too much of a hurry, isn't it?" Jin Limei said.
"At this time, how can there be anyone on the TV station? Go tomorrow, and my brother will accompany you tomorrow. Cheng Wei said.
"Thank you." I sat down.
"Let's drink, then."
"Come, I salute you, brother. Thanks for the idea. I said.
"Why do you only think of respecting me and beautiful women! When you really find your sister, it's not too late to respect me. Cheng Wei put one hand on his belly and burped a lot.
