Chapter XI

When I met Pei Chunmei again, it was a week later, and I felt that everything had changed somehow.

"Qi Xun," Pei Chunmei glanced at me and said, "What are you doing resting?" ”

"Nothing," I said with a smile, "just look at the book." ”

Pei Chunmei has changed, not as meticulous and patient as before. Pei Chunmei asked: "That day, I invited you to my house for dinner, why didn't you go?" ”

When I heard Pei Chunmei say this, I was stunned, I didn't know how to answer Pei Chunmei, I had a lot of words in my heart, and I couldn't say it.

"What about you?" Pei Chunmei was still a little angry and continued to ask.

"I, I," I hesitated, looked at Pei Chunmei a little angry, and deliberately said, "Why do you let Guo Yongzhen go too?" ”

"Who said that?" Pei Chunmei was a little confused.

"That day," I said with a still angry look, "Guo Yongzhen said to come with me to your house." ”

"Hehe, I told Guo Yongzhen that day to invite you to my house to play, Guo Yongzhen won't go." Pei Chunmei sneered and said, "We have always been on the same road, don't you want to walk with her?" ”

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Guo Yongzhen is my good friend, I only have such a friend, colleague, we have been together for five or six years." Pei Chunmei whispered, her voice a little hoarse.

I was about to cry, and my voice was a little hoarse, "Squad leader, I'm really sorry." ”

Pei Chunmei said softly: "If you say I'm sorry, is it over?" ”

My head was buzzing for a moment, and I didn't know what to say.

"You're so angry," Pei Chunmei softened her emotions and said, "If something happens in the future, don't be so impulsive, think it's not good, don't get angry first, figure it out and talk about it." ”

I felt sorry for my dream of entering the city, and I thought to myself, what a recklessness. I'm not sure what Pei Chunmei invited me to her house for what purpose, but I really lost such an opportunity, and lost it forever. If I can really make friends with Pei Chunmei and even get married, my life may be completely different. Of course, there are no ifs in life, only results. I don't think things would have turned out this way if I had calmed down at the time. Although the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, but I also understood that there was no room for recovery, so I had to say: "I thought, I thought, I thought it was all wrong, I should never be self-righteous again." ”

"I just think that the food in the canteen is not good, I thought that you came to my house to improve the food, and the family also prepared a table of dishes that day, haha, you didn't go that day, it means that you don't have a mouth." Pei Chunmei said silently, tears flashing in her eyes.

I blame myself deeply for creating an irreparable situation, and now it's too late to say anything.

Pei Chunmei didn't say anything more, and walked away silently.

Not long after getting off work, Mu Shan pulled Liu Dajiao to stand at the door outside my workshop to smoke, saw me come out, and shouted: "Today I dream of going to the city to have a drink." ”

"Why the treat?" I asked casually.

"Last time, we were bitten by mosquitoes." Kiyama said with a smile.

"That's it, still have a treat?" I asked with a smile.

"Whatever, if you have wine to drink, go." Kiyama looked indifferent.

Wei Huasong and Huang Ping stood at the door of another workshop and waved at me.

I immediately stretched out my hand and swung it in the air a few times, and then asked, "Who else?" ”

Kiyama asked, "Who do you want to attend?" ”

I looked at Mushan and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Zheng Qingmei?" Kiyama asked.

"Squad leader, Pei Chunmei." I say.

"Impossible," Mu Shan said, "Dream of going into the city for a treat, Pei Chunmei won't go." ”

I think so, but I still feel pain from the deep guilt in my heart.

Zheng Qingmei took off her work clothes and walked out of the workshop. I saw Zheng Qingmei's beautiful shadow, but I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be seduced by a guy from the skating rink.

A group of six people returned to the dormitory with a smile and a smile, and Dream entered the city and was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

When he saw that everyone was coming back, he habitually pulled the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth with his habitual hand and threw it to the ground, as if he was going to do a big job, and said, "Today, I will rest when I get drunk." ”

Huang Ping waved his hand again and again, shook his head and said, "Except for me." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, rushed up to the second floor, and rushed into dormitory No. 7.

In the middle of the dormitory are two desks next to each other, a table about the size of the Eight Immortals Table, which is full of dishes:

A plate of peanuts, a plate of braised eggplant, a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of fried beans with pork, a plate of pork ribs and stewed winter melon, a plate of fried fish, a large plate of stewed pig's trotters, and a plate of roast chicken.

Huang Ping shouted, "So many dishes. ”

"Brother," shouted Mengjincheng, "eat meat in a big bowl and drink wine in a big bowl." ”

Wei Huasong's mouth was crooked.

"Hahaha, hahaha." Everyone laughed together.

Yanzi and Liu Xiaojiao in bedroom No. 6 happened to pass by the door of bedroom No. 7, and were attracted by the laughter in bedroom No. 7, they looked inside from the window and shouted happily: "With so many dishes, who treats you?" ”

When Liu Dajiao saw her sister Liu Xiaojiao and Yanzi, she immediately shouted: "Xiaojiao, Yanzi, come in." ”

"Quick, come in," Mu Shan also shouted, "Dream of going into the city today for a treat." ”

When Meng Jincheng saw Yanzi and Liu Xiaojiao, his originally small eyes immediately narrowed into a slit with a smile, and said generously: "Come, together." ”

Liu Dajiao and Yanzi looked at each other a little embarrassedly, and then walked in.

Dream into the city said bluntly: "I rely on my parents at home, I rely on my friends when I go out, and we have dinner together, just to look up to me." ”

Everyone was very happy. Dream into the city is very happy, and said mysteriously; "Wait a minute, there's another guy coming soon."

Everyone looked at each other and found that the people in bedroom 6 and bedroom 7 were all there, who else?

Dream into the city clinged to my ear and said for a while. I nodded knowingly.

Everyone felt mysterious and asked me what was wrong.

After a while, I heard someone outside shouting, "Go into the city, go into the city." So, I rushed downstairs, and when I passed the door of bedroom No. 3, I saw a familiar figure sitting at the door of the dormitory reading a book.

I took a serious look, and it turned out that Mu Zairong was standing at the door of the bedroom reading a book.

My mind flashed suddenly: I wanted to invite her up for dinner and wine; It doesn't feel right, the first is that he dreams of going to the city for a treat, and the second is that Mu Zairong already has a boyfriend.

Mu Zairong suddenly shouted: "Qi Xun, you wait, there is something for you." ”

I was shocked, and my mind immediately guessed what would be good, and I waited hopefully for what Mu Zairong would do.

Mu Zairong handed over a fountain pen.

This is my fountain pen, I took it a little disappointed, and then held it in the palm of my hand, touching the fountain pen to retain Mu Zairong's body temperature.

Mu Zairong said softly: "Your pen is very easy to write, thank you." ”

I felt a warmth in my heart, looking at Mu Zairong's face, the expression that kept a smile but not a smile and a focused look in his eyes, fascinated me; Her hair was fluffy, but each strand was individually curled, with some proper space between the hairs, and the fluffy hair was tied up with a ribbon at the back of her head, like a goldfish's tail, and that long ribbon fluttered from time to time.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." I looked at the beautiful and dedicated Mu Zairong in front of me, and I was extremely pleased.

"I have a cardboard box in my bedroom, which is full of books, and I will leave them all for you, I hope it will be useful to you." After Mu Zairong finished speaking, he slowly walked into the No. 3 bedroom.

I saw a strange girl with a plate of vegetables in both hands and a birthday cake hanging from one of the fingers of her right hand.

I hurriedly asked, "This is the cake that dreams of entering the city, right?" ”

The girl nodded yes.

I hurriedly picked up the birthday cake and was about to go to the second floor.

Mu Zairong walked up to me with a large cardboard box. I said "thank you" a few times, put the cake on the cardboard box, and went upstairs with the cardboard box.

The girl just now silently followed behind and went upstairs together.

"Come on." Mu Zairong said softly behind me, as if giving me infinite encouragement. My eyes moistened, and I thought, I must work hard, Mu Zairong, I hope we can still meet, and we have been silently encouraging and blessing each other like that.

When I entered the city and saw me holding the big cardboard box and the cake on the cardboard box, he winked at me in confusion and scratched the back of his head, as if thinking about what was in the cardboard box.

"Take the cake first." I said to Dream into the city.

Sure enough, when Dream entered the city and lifted the cake, he asked, "What's in this box?" ”

"This is a box of books that Mu Zairong gave me." I said with a smile.

Meng Jincheng smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "Literati, I like books." ”

"I'm not a literati," I said, "and when it's okay, look through it." ”

"Hehe, modest, the more level of the person, the more modest." Yume Jincheng smiled, then gave a thumbs up.

The girl who had just gone upstairs with me put the two dishes in her hand on the table and stood next to the dream of entering the city.

"Whose birthday is it today?" Zheng Qingmei asked.

Only then did Dream enter the city and say loudly: "Today is the birthday of the contemptible person, so please have a lively time." ”

I see.

"Why didn't you say it earlier," Kiyama said politely deliberately, "I'd like to prepare some gifts for you." ”

Dream into the city is also very happy, squinting and smiling, and said: "That's too vulgar, just eat and drink well today." ”

Zheng Qingmei pointed to the strange girl next to Dream into the city and said, "Dream into the city, can you introduce it?" ”

Dream into the city's originally small eyes narrowed into a slit at once, but he shouted emotionally: "Contemptible insider, Xiuer." ”

Everyone cheered and clapped their hands involuntarily.

I was extremely envious of Dream City in my heart: I didn't look down on Dream City at all, but Dream City has always been a friend or brother to us, and we are willing to share his happiness with us.

"Thank you, buddy, we haven't had a mouth like this in a long time." Huang Ping patted Mengjincheng's shoulder and said.

"Brothers," said Dream into the city with a smile, "what's the welcome." ”

Wei Huasong raised his glass and said, "Today is my brother's birthday in the city, let's sing a birthday song." ”

Zheng Qingmei raised her head, everyone sang together, and after singing, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

I looked at the faces gathered around the table and found that such a seat was a bit interesting: Mu Shan and Liu Dajiao sat together; To the left of Liu Dajiao is Huang Ping, who is sitting with Yanzi; , to the right of the swallow is Liu Xiaojiao, I don't know how to sit next to Liu Xiaojiao; On my left is Wei Huasong, and Fu Min is sitting next to Wei Huasong; Zheng Qingmei sat there alone, looking very lonely, but it was a pity that she didn't invite her boyfriend to the birthday party; Finally, Dream into the city and Xiuer.

Dream into the city said: "Today, this special day, so many friends get together, I'm so happy, come, drink!" ”

The men shouted together: "Get drunk and rest!" ”

Zheng Qingmei shouted, "We also want to drink beer." ”

Dream into the city enthusiastically poured beer for the girls one by one.

The boy and the girl raised their glasses together again, shouted together, "Cheersβ€”" and drank their own drinks.

I looked at Zheng Qingmei, and Zheng Qingmei was suddenly looking at me as well, and there seemed to be something to say between the two of them.

Liu Dajiao clinked glasses with Xiu'er, and other girls also held wine glasses, several girls clinked glasses and drank together, and then sat down happily.

The men drank together in wine glasses, shouting and shouting, and they were very happy. I felt that this was the first time in my life that I had drunk with so many people's colleagues and friends, and I felt a warmth in my heart that I had never felt before.

Everyone toasted to each other, and the scene was so lively and happy.

I looked at Dream City, and I realized in my heart that my view of Dream City had changed, or rather, the idea of looking down on Dream City before had collapsed at this time. At this time. I happened to dream of entering the city to see me, and the eyes of the two people met together, and they raised their glasses and drank them all.

I suddenly remembered that sentence again: A man cannot be seen, and the sea cannot be measured. Yes, you can't judge people by their appearance in the future, maybe everyone has their own good and bad, or advantages and disadvantages. Although Dream enters the city with a thief appearance, people look down on him, but after dating for so long, I found that he values righteousness and modesty, and is not as unbearable as his appearance. The first thing I think of when I dream of entering the city is to be good to others and I am willing to share happiness with others. It's a pattern I don't have.

Everyone was drinking to their heart's content, and their faces were flushed red to varying degrees. It was getting dark. Swallow got up and pulled the light switch, and the room lit up all at once.

Mushan suddenly stood up while the wine was happy, and said solemnly to everyone: "Now, please Qi Xun and perform a break dance for everyone!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then clapped and applauded together.

I looked at Mushan in surprise and hurriedly waved my hands.

Everyone began to heckle, one after the other. Because of the drink, I didn't have the shyness and timidity I had before, and I quickly stood up.

"That's right," said Yume as he stood up and said loudly, "I'm very happy today, we will each perform a show today." ”

Dream into the city's proposal was quickly agreed to by everyone, and thunderous applause rang out in the dormitory again.

I stepped out of my seat, looked at Zheng Qingmei, and then walked to the wider part of the wall, and I looked at my shadow reflected on the wall.

I thought about it for a while, and mustered up the courage to break dance, first of all, sliding, sassafras, pulling ropes, riding a bicycle, etc., I danced with the pleasure of drinking, and then looked at the dancing shadows on the wall, and every movement was done as perfectly as possible, and I tried to vent my inner loneliness, confusion, pain, and all unhappiness. At this moment, I was completely immersed in the dance, or rather into a state of self-forgetfulness, until I was sweating and exhausted.

From time to time, thunderous applause erupted in the dormitory!

I returned to my seat with great satisfaction, and this time I danced to fully release myself.

Liu Dajiao raised her wine glass to me excitedly, and due to the effect of alcohol, her face showed crimson like a ripe peach. "What a dance, toast you!" Liu Dajiao said excitedly, clinked glasses with me, and took a big sip.

I am very grateful to Liu Dajiao for her encouragement and drank it all. Suddenly, I saw a lot of people gathered outside the dormitory, and I seemed to see Mu Zairong, but if I looked closely, it was not Mu Zairong, a girl with the same hairstyle as Mu Zairong.

Kiyama also came to toast.

I smiled and said, "Let's come along!" ”

So, everyone drank glasses together and shouted, "the glass!" ”

I took advantage of everyone's drinking, I looked at Zheng Qingmei, Zheng Qingmei's face was slightly red, such a redness was like wiping rouge, which made Zheng Qingmei's face even more gorgeous.

Zheng Qingmei also looked at me stunned at this time, she held her wine glass towards me and said, "Qi Xun, I didn't expect that your dancing is so good, why didn't you dance to us earlier?" I'll give you a drink, and I'll have to punish you with a drink. ”

I drank two glasses of wine in a row, and I was defenseless against Zheng Qingmei, and I didn't refuse anything.

Liu Dajiao shouted: "Qingmei sing a song." ”

"Okay," Zheng Qingmei readily agreed, "I'll sing a song for everyone, "Love Song 1990." ”

As soon as Zheng Qingmei finished speaking, Liu Dajiao took the lead in applauding, and then beat with applause.

Everyone clapped and beat the beat, and the beat sounded outside the dormitory.

When Zheng Qingmei stopped applauding, she began to sing:

Black eyes and your smiling face

It's hard to forget the change in your face

......

The singing voice is beautiful and the tone is poignant. When the singing stopped, everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste.

Liu Dajiao hurriedly stood up and applauded, shouting, "Everyone, applaud." After that, he said loudly: "I sing 'Childhood'." ”

Everyone still applauded and encouraged her to sing.

Liu Dajiao sang:

On a banyan tree by the pond

I know that the voice is crying summer

……

Everyone sang together. Maybe this song is too familiar, and it evokes the hearts of too many people at this moment, and it has a kind of resonance.

I looked at Liu Dajiao's eyes overflowing with tears. Liu Dajiao's mother died early, for most people, childhood is the happiest, the most cherished time, especially for Liu Dajiao, the happy time of childhood with her mother's love, she may want to use the song "Childhood" to interpret the nostalgia for her mother.

When I heard "Childhood", I immediately thought of Teacher Liu Guangying. Ms. Liu mainly teaches us English, and although she is a substitute teacher, she teaches responsibly. In particular, he is very bold to teach his classmates to sing new and beautiful songs at the first time, such as "Little Grass" and "Orchid Grass". Every time Ms. Liu's English class or music class, once the preparatory class rings, the students will look at Ms. Liu from the window and raise their voices to sing to welcome Ms. Liu's arrival. I remember that when Mr. Liu taught us to sing "Treading the Waves", he told us to quickly write down the lyrics in a notebook, and then write the lyrics on the blackboard in a very fast time. Mr. Liu smiled very happily, quickly erased the chalk words on the blackboard, and then taught us to sing sentence by sentence. She looked nervous and excited, and several times while teaching us to sing, she peeked through the classroom window to see if the dean and principal were approaching from the teacher's office. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt sad in my heart, and I didn't know how the teacher was doing now.

After singing "Childhood", there was another round of warm applause in the bedroom.

I don't know when, but a lot of girls gathered in the corridor to watch the excitement.

I turned around suddenly, and saw again the girl with a similar hairstyle to Mu Zairong outside the door, it was a fair and kind goose egg-shaped face, gentle and lovely.

Huang Ping looked at the swallow and whispered, "You can sing a song too!" The swallow bowed her head shyly. Huang Ping cleared his throat and said, "I'll sing with Yanzi, okay, let's dedicate "Love" to everyone of the Little Tigers." ”

Huang Ping and Yanzi sang together:

Oh......

Put your heart, my heart, on a string

String a clover plant, string a concentric circle

......

Although the singing ran away, the two of them sang very seriously.

Everyone applauded vigorously.

Then Liu Xiaojiao sang "Red Dragonfly".

Fly, fly, fly

Look at the red dragonfly flying in the blue sky

The swallow also sang along:

The game keeps chasing his dreams in the wind

Liu Xiaojiao then sang:

The sky is the eternal home, the earth is his kingdom, and flying is life

Zheng Qingmei sings:

Our childhood is also like the wind blowing from chasing growth

Liu Xiaojiao continued to sing:

Gently blowing dreams slowly rise into the air

……

One of them sang so wonderfully, and after the dance music was sung, there was another round of warm applause.

This time, there was also warm applause outside the dormitory door.

I felt more and more people outside the dormitory, and I looked out the door again, inadvertently intertwining with that warm and lovely gaze. The girl was nervous for a while and quickly dodged away.

I wanted to go out and invite the girl into the dormitory, but I suppressed my excitement and didn't get up.

Everyone's interest was high, and they sang and cheered loudly. And those who shouted for a drink, cheers.

After a while, I looked out the door again, and the familiar girl was gone.

Wei Huasong sang "Yelia Girl".

Far away there was a girl named Yelia

Someone has a legend about her eyes to look at you to make you younger

……

The singing stopped, and everyone cheered.

I really didn't expect Wei Huasong to have such a good voice, and he usually just listened to him play the harmonica.

Everyone urged Dream to go into the city to perform the show. Dream into the city couldn't push it off, so he had to perform a handstand, learn to be a monkey, and won a round of applause.

When it was Mushan's turn, he took out the machete from under Wei Huasong's bed, and learned the posture of the chivalrous warrior in the martial arts movie, but it was also a little in place.

The men drank loudly and shouted, "Drink." ”

Everyone drank it all, and when they were all drunk, they started to smoke again.

Everyone eats and drinks together, talking and laughing, I don't know how much time has passed, everyone is talking, laughing, chatting all over the world.

Fu Min proposed to go ice skating, and everyone was ready to go.

Mu Shan and Huang Ping quickly changed their clothes, washed their faces, combed their hair, squeezed in front of a large mirror, and got some mousse on it, making their hair wet and shiny, so that people looked energetic, as if they had changed people.

After a while, the girls and men all walked to the courtyard to gather.

Dream entered the city and pulled Xiuer and asked, "Are you going to skate?" ”

Xiuer blushed and whispered as if she was a little scared, "No." ”

Meng Jincheng hurriedly said: "Go ahead, we have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Do you have a separate 'event'?" Huang Ping seemed to see something and said.

Everyone laughed together.

Wei Huasong didn't force it, and waved his hand with a very understanding mentality and said, "Bye." ”

Dream into the city and Xiuer held hands and walked out of the gate together.

The boy and the girl walked briskly towards the rink together.

When everyone arrived at the skating rink, they didn't see Zheng Qingmei's boyfriend, so Wei Huasong hurried to buy tickets.

Mushan smiled at me and whispered, "I don't have a penny in my hand." ”

"Me too." I felt bored, but helpless.

"What are you talking about?" Huang Ping leaned over and asked.

"It's getting harder and harder in the factory now," Kiyama said, "what will I do in the future?" ”

I didn't know what to say, everything seemed so helpless.

Huang Ping sneered: "One day is counted as two and a half days." ”

Wei Huasong had already bought the tickets, and the girls jumped into the ticket gate.

The girl glided hand in hand in the rink, sometimes winding like a serpentine; Sometimes gliding side by side like a fairy floating down to earth, sometimes doing all kinds of elegant movements, beautiful.

The boys staggered around the field because they had drunk a lot of alcohol, and they tried hard to chase the girls' footsteps, and everyone had a great time.

Coming out of the skating rink, a group of people walked to the dormitory together, walking and walking, leaving only Liu Xiaojiao and I walking on the road, and the two of them silently returned to the dormitory courtyard one after the other.

I was lying alone in bed, feeling very lonely, and I thought that there was really nothing to do, so I picked up a book and read it for a long time, and then I felt as if I was not reading, but thinking about something.

In the middle of the night, the iron gate rang several times, and then calm returned.

The night gradually deepened. In the silence of the night, someone was sobbing.

Curious, I crept out and stood in the hallway looking for the sound of crying, which turned out to be coming from bedroom 6.

"Zheng Qingmei, it's not early, don't cry." Liu Dajiao persuaded in a very small voice.

Why is Zheng Qingmei crying, I thought in surprise, and walked with bated breath to the window of bedroom No. 6, wondering why Zheng Qingmei was crying.

"If I knew he was a flowery person, I shouldn't have made friends with him." Zheng Qingmei cried and said.

"Do you see clearly?" Liu Dajiao's voice said in a low voice, "Will there be any misunderstanding." ”

"I saw it with my own eyes," Ms. Zheng said, "and there can be no mistake." ”

"Really," Liu Dajiao said, "I don't know my heart if I know people." ”

"As I said, people like that can't be trusted." Fu Min said angrily, "At the beginning, I wanted you to be good with Qi Xun, you are talented and beautiful, what a match." Just like Mushan and Liu Dajiao, how good. ”

I felt a heat on my face, and I was embarrassed to continue listening, and walked to the roof alone. Looking at the streets of Shashi from the top of the building, although it is already very late at night, there are still cars coming and going on the road, and the lights are brilliant.
