Chapter 15: Ling Ling delivered slowly
Days of training passed quickly. This is the first time since graduation that I sat at my desk and listened to a lecture seriously, and I felt like I was back in school. It's just that drilling in the massive question bank every day makes me instantly have a sense of immediacy for the college entrance examination.
On the penultimate day, the IRS was a bit humane and gave us half a day of free time, but tomorrow we have to arrange exams, and I think this half day of free time is clearly for us to study on our own.
However, many people who came to the training couldn't sit still, and after so many days of class, we were all tired and became panda eyes, so we had to go out and relax.
Zhang Teng is really a good buddy, knowing that this girl will naturally not be the master of self-study sitting in the classroom, he drove the windy Land Rover to the door of the training school early to wait for me. However, I really don't approve of his approach to capitalism.
When I went out, I happened to be caught by Xin Yan, and said that she would go out with me, but I couldn't help her, so I had to agree to her.
Who knew that as soon as Xin Yan saw Zhang Teng, she shouted, "Wow! Handsome guy, it's you again! He looks even more handsome today than he did that night! ”
Zhang Teng was not bored with Xin Yan, politely opened the car door for her, and invited her to go out with us.
When I was in school in Jiangcheng, I often went to Zhongqi Alley and Mutang River. At that time, I would wear long skirts with my classmates to dress up for literature and art, and drink wine.
At that time, I liked a small shop in Zhongqi Alley the most, called Ling Ling Slow Delivery. The shop is stocked with beautiful postcards, stationery and envelopes. People who come here can write some words and then make an appointment with the clerk to send them to themselves or to the person you want to send them to at a future date. When this letter is sent to me and the envelope is opened, many things in reality may not have changed, and may have long since passed, but the words left on the paper must be the most real emotions at that time. When I was in college, I drank the yogurt I bought next door and looked at these beautiful little things, and I really wanted to write some words to send to my future self, but too often, because I was afraid of the changes in the world, things are wrong, and I added a lot of desolation to myself when I read the letter again, so I never had the courage to pick up the pen.
Now, together with Zhang Teng and Xin Yan, he walked into Ling Ling's slow delivery. Xin Yan clamored to write a letter to someone, and deliberately didn't tell us who the person she was writing to was. Zhang Teng saw that I was about to move, and encouraged me to write one.
I picked up a piece of letterhead, hid in a corner, and told Zhang Teng to keep his distance and not peek.
The letter was addressed to Shao Yang. But when you open the letter, it seems that there are so many things to say, and it seems that you can't say anything. So after thinking about it, he drew a rabbit on the paper, and the rabbit happily held up a heart and offered an affectionate kiss next to its small mouth.
Xin Yan finished writing it before me. When she had finished writing, she sneaked up to me to peek at it, and I quickly closed the letter and put it in the envelope, deliberately holding the envelope in my arms so that she could not see the address and name on the envelope.
"It's so stingy, don't even show it." Xin Yan pursed her lips.
"Won't you let me see it? Okay, let's keep our little privacy, okay! ”
"Oh well! Let's send it. ”
"yes, okay."
We walked up to the clerk together. The clerk asked when we were going to send it.
I thought for a moment, "About two years!" "I think maybe two years later, Shao Yang and I will be married, and it will be a good surprise for him to receive such a gift at that time.
Xin Yan thought about it and felt that three hundred and sixty-five days was too long, so she decided to send it on the one hundred and eighty day. After we sent the letter, we looked at each other and smiled, and strode out of the house Ling Ling delivered slowly.
Out of Ling Ling's slow delivery, Xin Yan seemed to be extremely interested in every small shop in Zhongqi Alley, and every one of them had to be visited for a while. Just when she was concentrating, Zhang Teng suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me away.
"Do you remember that little wood carving that was given to you?" He asked me in a whisper, as if he was afraid that Xin Yan would know.
"Of course I do." I also replied in a whisper that I was very cooperative.
"I'll take you to the woodcarver, it's around here."
"Okay!" I'm a little excited.
"Shh Zhang Teng made a gesture for me to speak softly.
"Huh? Don't bring Xin Yan? ”
"We'll come back to pick her up later."
I had a little evil idea in my heart, and after a while, Xin Yan found out that we were gone, and looked for us everywhere, and then we appeared in front of her unconsciously, that scene must have been very funny, so I quietly left with Zhang Teng.
followed Zhang Teng into a small courtyard. There is a large locust tree in the middle of the yard. Under the locust tree, there is a pile of scattered wood.
"Master Li, Master Li." Zhang Teng shouted into the room.
After a while, a small old man who was not tall walked out. "Zhang Teng is here?" The little old man looked at me and said, "Yo! This little girl is here! ”
I wondered how his words seemed to know me.
"You...... Know me, huh? ”
The little old man looked up and laughed, "Hahaha, I don't know you, but I've seen a lot of wood carvings carved from your face!" ”
"Ahh That's right, Zhang Teng said to take me to meet the two small wood carving masters.
"Master Li, this is Xiao Lu." Zhang Teng said.
"Oh, Xiao Lu! Come on, come on, sit down. The little old man cordially beckoned me into the house.
Zhang Teng and I followed Master Li into the house. There isn't much furniture in the house, but it's all mahogany, and it looks like it's been some years old. The living room is very well lit and warmly illuminates the room in winter.
"Girl, do you know that Zhang Teng has been learning wood carving with me for two years?"
"Huh? He also studied wood carving? "I was surprised, could it be that the two wood carvings he gave me were carved by himself?
"Well, just to carve two villains for you, did he give it to you?"
I turned my head and asked Zhang Teng, "Are those two small wood carvings?" ”
Zhang Teng didn't speak, just smiled and nodded, and then poured a glass of water for me and Master Li.
The little old man laughed again, "Carving wood carving is not something that can be learned in a while, and you can't carve anything good in three and five years, what do you think about the two villains that Zhang Teng carved for you?" ”
"I don't know about it, but I think he's very well carved, and he looks like me."
"Well, that's why I said I'm not uncommon to see a wood carving carved from your face! Zhang Teng, I'm almost done carving all my wood. ”
"Huh?" I didn't know what to say for a while, but it took me two years to carve the wood carvings of the two little girls, and I suddenly felt that the gift of "new people in the workplace" was so valuable. Looking at Zhang Teng, he sat there drinking tea and didn't speak, as if what I was talking to Master Li had nothing to do with him.
