CHAPTER XXXVI

When I woke up in the morning, my watch was already pointing to 8:30, Chen Jing was still sleeping, Chen Si felt stuffy and suffocated, got up and opened the door, and the door in the next room was tightly closed. The sun was shining outside, and although it was only morning, it was already unusually hot. Looking around, it's still lackluster. There was a rancid smell in the kitchen, but judging by the state of the stove, it should have never been used. The bathroom is a squatting toilet, and the toilet trough is yellow and smells bad. Chen Si didn't want to clean up here, she only thought about how to bring her sister back to Yichang as soon as possible.

There was a small washbasin in the bathroom, Chen Si took out the towels and toothbrushes he brought, and after washing, he saw Chen Jing standing at the door of the toilet with sleepy eyes.

"Brush your teeth and wash your face, and then we'll go to breakfast."

"Okay, I'll take you to eat cheong fun." Chen Jing yawned, crept down, and peed.

When Chen Si was waiting in the living room, he saw that no one cleaned up the garbage in the corner of the living room, so he took a plastic bag and put the garbage in it little by little. I saw a large number of cigarette butts again. The length is different, some of them are Camel brand, Chen Si has seen this brand. Chloe once came to class, and the sharp-eyed students in the front row saw Chloe pull a camel cigarette out of his pocket and put it in a drawer on the lectern.

Chen Jing ran over from behind, "Sister, you are so diligent!" “

She held a mineral water bottle in her hand, and Chen Si took it and took a sip. "Where did it come from?"

Chen Jing pointed to Xia Hongfei's open door. Chen Si walked over to take a look, and the building was empty.

"Gone." Chen Jing blinked.

"Where?"

"Go to work! Do you think you play every day like we do? ”

Chen Si stopped talking and said, "Let's go have breakfast." “

"Okay."

After a while, he held a bunch of keys in his hand. Say "Let's go!" Take you to eat something delicious. “

Chen Si walked downstairs and found that the scene was completely different from what he saw last night, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was very dirty here, the yellow sand was full of sky, but all kinds of construction were in an orderly manner, high-rise buildings and bungalows were together, and hotels and stalls were piled up. Everywhere there is a lot of construction, tall and straight iron shelves surround the houses under construction, one side is a stinky ditch, and the other is a pile of mud and sand, and the other is neatly green. As you can see from everywhere, this is a city that is growing rapidly.

Chen Jing took Chen Si to a small breakfast shop, where a man and a woman were busy, and there were not many customers. I guess they all went to work. In about two minutes, the little daughter-in-law, who is also the proprietress who brought two white things, came up, and a refreshing rice fragrance rushed straight to his nose, and Chen Si swallowed his saliva. Chen Jing grinned, "Sister, I knew you would definitely like to eat this." “

Chen Si looked at the plate of rice rolls on the plate, white and soft like clotted fat, crystal clear like satin, and a shallow layer of soy sauce at the bottom set off the white and tender rice rolls, like the skin of a beauty. Chen Si took the chopsticks and clamped the end, feeling soft and glutinous, and dipped in some sauce, it melted in the mouth, and the tongue was fragrant. Said to Chen Jing: "You've only been here for a few days, and you like it here?" ”

"I think it's good. It's true. "Bow your head and eat cheong fun like a puppy. With black soy sauce on his lips, he said to Chen Si, "I know what you're doing here, you want to take me back, don't you?" ”

"Quietly, Dad and Aunt are worried about you. You must come back with me. ”

"Sister, I'm very happy here."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to get a job here."

"You haven't graduated from secondary school yet, and you're learning to dance, so it's hard to find a job."

"A lot of recruitment, it's not difficult at all."

"What do you do?"

"Workers."

Chen Si couldn't believe his ears, "Workers on the assembly line?" It was hard. Why do you have to suffer this? “

"I'm so happy." Chen Jing looked at Chen Si fixedly, with a seriousness that she had never seen before. "When I go home and look at my dad, I miss my mom. I can't be happy for a day. “

"You don't want to see Dad, then let's continue to go to school, and Dad won't interfere with you, okay?" Chen Si put down his chopsticks.

"Going to school is actually boring."

"Isn't that interesting to you?"

"At least I won't miss my mother, I won't be unable to sleep."

"Then let's finish the secondary school and college, and then come out, okay?"

"That's fine, but I want to play here during the summer."

"Quietly, it's said that the security here is not very good. We're not worried about you here. “

"What are you afraid of, Ah Fei will take care of me." Chen Jing intimately called Xia Hongfei and Ah Fei.

"I don't think he took much care of you, and left you alone in Hubei and came to Guangdong. I didn't consult you beforehand. “

"Don't talk about him like that, he loves me very much." Chen Jing lowered her head and ate rice rolls, still looking happy.

"He can't even take care of himself, how can he take care of you?"

"I don't care, I just like him and I feel happy. It's nice to be around him. Chen Jing suddenly began to shed tears, "I'm happier than in Wuhan, and I'm happier than I'm in Yichang." “

The owner and the proprietress of the cheong fun shop looked at each other, then at the sisters.

"Well, you go back with me, and you tell your aunt and dad yourself, and if they agree, then you can come again, okay?"

"Sister, I listen to you. But if Dad doesn't agree, I want you to help me convince him to let me be here for the summer. I'll go back when school starts. ”

Chen thought about it, looked at the unfinished rice rolls, was ruthless, nodded and said, "Okay"

In the afternoon, Chen Jing took Chen Si to look around. It was very hot in Dongguan in June. Chen Si found that although the neighborhood was full of yellow sand, there were supermarkets, hospitals, bookstores, and restaurants. Most of them are employment agencies that recruit workers. But waves of auxiliary police on the streets are always reminding everyone that it is not safe here!

Chen Si and Chen Jing discussed it properly, and they would return to Yichang after staying for another day. Chen Jing didn't agree immediately, saying that she wanted to discuss it with Ah Fei. Chen Si was very disgusted with Ah Fei's nickname, but it was hard to say.

At night, when Chen Si and Chen Jing were playing cards in the room, they heard the sound of the key turning. Xia Hongfei was wearing a work suit and stood at the door, carrying a bunch of braised vegetables in his hand. He said to the two sisters, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's eat together. “。 Chen Jing rushed away, Ah Fei was long, Ah Fei was short.

The three of them cleaned up the coffee table in the living room and spread the dishes and chopsticks. Xia Hongfei took out three cans of beer and handed one to Chen Jing, but Chen Si raised his hand to refuse. So he didn't insist any longer, and drank with Chen Jing. Xia Hongfei unexpectedly changed his past to be deep, opened the chatterbox, and seemed very talkative. When it comes to work, his eyebrows flutter, saying that the work in the workshop is not very difficult, because there is training, so he can get started quickly, but he doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the salary. Occasionally, I complained that my spoken English was not good enough, and I suffered a little. Most of the time, I talk about Three Gorges University and where my classmates have gone. Surprisingly, Xia Hongfei seems to be quite familiar with Li Yan. But Chen Si was very interested, so he didn't talk about it. Chen Jing kept picking vegetables for her sister, while Xia Hongfei pretended to be jealous. The last two cans of beer were drunk by Xia Hongfei. Chen Si found that Chen Jing had actually drunk her can.

After eating, Chen Jing drank Chen Si to clean up the disposable dishes and chopsticks, and when the two went down to throw out the garbage together, the siren outside was loud. Running back with a relative, Xia Hongfei said without changing his face, it is estimated that it is a car thief who grabbed the bag.

Chen Si told Chen Jing that he was going to take a bath, and Chen Jing asked Xia Hongfei to adjust the water heater. While Xia Hongfei was adjusting the water heater, Chen Si gave Chen Jing a look and motioned her to hurry up and discuss with Xia Hongfei about going home. Chen Jing said that she knew, she knew. When Chen Si took a bath, he deliberately delayed for a while to facilitate the discussion between the two.

The weather in Dongguan makes people want to soak in the water and take a bath all day long. Chen Si didn't care about the smell of the bathroom, so he washed his head together. Wearing pajamas, when I gently opened the door, I found that the living room was empty. As he was about to enter the door, he heard a rapid gasp coming from the next room. Chen Si frowned, and was just about to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard Chen Jing shouting Ah Fei Hurry, Hurry. Chen Si seemed to suddenly understand something, and the outstretched hand retracted as if it were electrocuted. Hurriedly turned around and entered the door, and quickly closed the door. When I lay down, I suddenly felt depressed.

The three girls in the dormitory all have boyfriends, and Li Yan carries out the "Lights Out Project" at every turn, and the main topic of discussion is where to progress with her boyfriend, are you holding hands? Kiss it? At the end of the day, I will ask others if they have sex with their boyfriend? What posture? The three of them are also undisguised, Chen Si's ears and eyes, coupled with his own personal experience, know that other people's love is always alive and vigorous. But today the situation caught me a little off guard. It happened to the roommates, and everyone was interested in hunting for it. But now that it's my sister, it's so disgusting. So I picked up the novel I brought, read two pages, and threw it down again. After a while, beads of sweat secreted from the front chest and back, and I went to the bathroom to take a shower without doing anything. Since the first time I washed for a long time, there was no hot water for the second time. Washed and washed, and then it was all cold water. When she came out, Chen Jing was already in her room. His face was flushed and confused, and when he saw Chen Si staring at him, he smiled and said, "Sister, will you stay for two more days?" ”

"What? Didn't he say yes? Chen Si frowned, unhappiness was already written on his face.

"No, on the contrary, he was very supportive. Say respect for my choice. Although Chen Jing said with a smile, the corners of her eyes finally drooped, revealing a trace of disappointment.

"So what time are we leaving?" Chen Si calculated, there should be a few days left before his exam.

"Let's stay for two days, and we'll go back the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay." Chen Si breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed Chen Jing's decisiveness.

"Shall we go to Humen Fort tomorrow?" Chen Jing ran over and grabbed Chen Si's arm.

Chen Si reflexively pushed Chen Jing away and said, "Go take a bath first." ”

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and said Okay, wait for me.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Chen Si felt a splitting headache and a dry throat. When he opened his eyes, Chen Jing was staring at him, his eyes full of anxiety.

"What's wrong? Quietly. Chen thought about it, but he was weak. What time is it? ”

"Sister, you slept until noon, are you sick?"

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry." Struggling to sit up.

"I just touched your forehead, it seems to have a fever."

"Really?" Chen Si touched his forehead and didn't feel anything.

"Does it matter?"

"It's fine!" Chen Si put on his shoes and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Is there any rice roll now?" It's noon, and I guess it's gone. ”

"You know how to eat." Chen Jing's face suddenly turned cloudy, "When-dang-dang-dang, I know that you are thinking about it, I just bought one." It's cold now, I'll warm it up for you. “

"I'm so moved, go and warm up my sister."

Chen thought about it for a while, and yesterday his sister said that she was going to Humen Fort, and felt that she should not spoil the fun, so she proposed to follow the plan after eating.

Chen Jing was a little worried, but when she saw Chen Si gobbling up, she still agreed.

However, Chen Si's body still betrayed himself. Before the bus reached the Humen Fort, he vomited twice. Chen Jing saw that the situation was not right, and offered to get out of the car and go back. Chen thought about it, and when he was hesitating, Humen had already arrived.

There was a pharmacy on the side of the road, and the two sisters went in to buy some medicine, and ate it with mineral water, and gradually there was a great improvement. There are a lot of people in the fort, but the park is quiet and elegant. Chen Si took the map up and down, and the vegetation and greening trees in Guangdong were very different from those in the mainland. Although the landscape of the park is man-made, the local government is very active, and the construction of convenient facilities is active, and it is very convenient everywhere, and it is also worth playing. The two of them looked east and west, and after a while, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe it was because the medicine was too much, and Chen Si began to feel headache and sore throat again.

After discussing it, I was about to go home, but I saw a train ticket agency near the bus station. Chen Jing looked at her sister and said Let's buy two tickets. Chen Si said okay, the day after tomorrow, right?

Chen Jing thought for a while, "Tomorrow, sister, you are not feeling well, you have to go back quickly." “

"I've taken my medicine and I'm fine! Not bad for one or two days. “

"No, I've decided." Chen Jing pulled her sister's sleeve and said.

"Okay, depending on you." My heart is warm.

That night, Chen Si went to bed early. The feeling of being in a daze Chen Jing went in and out many times. One moment a towel will be put on the head, and the other will come to feed the water.

The next morning, Chen Si had felt much better, and Chen Jing was not by his side. Judging from the voice coming from the living room, she and Xia Hongfei were eating breakfast on the wooden sofa. Seeing Chen Si walking out, Chen Jing jumped up, "Sister, your rice noodles are here." Come and eat! I asked my boss to put less soy sauce. Got an egg added to you. “

Xia Hongfei just smiled politely.

"Don't you have to go to work today?" Chen Si said to Xia Hongfei.

"It's Sunday, do you want me to be exhausted? Seven days a week?"

"So why didn't you take a break yesterday? Saturday."

"Work overtime, otherwise there is no money. Overtime pay is still required."

Chen Si nodded.

"Heard about your train today?"

"Yes." Chen Si looked at Chen Jing, and her sister's eyes sparkled again.

"Then I'll take you out to dinner at noon."

"Okay, yes." Chen Jing applauded first. Chen Si said thank you.

"And what are we going to eat?"

"Shall I take you to eat Northeast food?"

"Northeast cuisine, what's delicious? I haven't eaten it. What's the food?..... Isn't it a pot of meat?"

Chen Si didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Jing's chatter, turned around and went to the room to get toothpaste, toothbrush and towel.

Xia Hongfei took them to a dumpling restaurant. It is said to be a dumpling restaurant, but it is actually a restaurant in the Northeast. Sure enough, there is the pot wrapped meat that Chen Jing said. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the tender and juicy tenderloin is fried at high temperature under the wrapping of glutinous rice, and then poured with balsamic vinegar and other condiments before coming out of the pot, which is crispy, sour and glutinous, and the taste is very layered. The portion of the dish was very generous, and the two of them were quickly filled. There is a particularly tall female owner in the restaurant, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, about thirty years old, and extremely sexy. Waves of guests, speaking with a northeastern accent and burly figures. This boss greets the business tiger and is at ease.

"Do you come here often?"

"I've been here a few times, and I like it."

The last fan bones that came up, Chen Si was already full, and he didn't do anything, but Chen Jing ate it very fragrantly.

In the end, there were still many dishes that were not finished, so Xia Hongfei got up and went to pay. There was a burst of laughter at the counter. Chen Si leaned back, bypassed the screen, and saw the female boss's eyebrows dancing.

Xia Hongfei, who came back after paying, said, "Let's go."

Chen Si glanced at the rest of the dishes, felt a little pity, and asked, "Do you want to pack them?"

Xia Hongfei waved his hand. Go straight outside.

In the afternoon, the sisters got into a taxi, Chen Jing kept looking back, and through the rear windshield, Chen Si saw Xia Hongfei going back without looking back.

There weren't many people on the train, so Chen Si drank water to relieve the cold. Chen Jing was also reluctant to sleep. Asked Chen Si directly: "Ah Feishuai, right?"

Chen Si smiled.

"What's wrong? I think it's so handsome. Don't you think?"

Chen Si actually didn't have much feeling about whether he was handsome or not. Ask yourself, I don't have any good feelings for Xia Hongfei at all. But he was also afraid of provoking Chen Jing's rebellion, so he just said, "I think you deserve to be a better person."

"What does a better person look like?"

"Maybe you won't meet until you're an adult."

"You're an adult, come on, tell your sister, what a good thing looks like."

Chen Si was speechless for a while, and he had no emotional experience." Okay, you're very handsome. Beware of someone snatching you."

"Will you rob me?"

"Fool, I'm too lazy to rob you." That's the big truth.

"As long as you don't rob me, no one can rob me." Chen Jing pursed her lips, "In this world, you are the only one who is more beautiful than me." Saying that, he pulled Chen Si's two cheeks with his hand, Chen Si let her make trouble, and was pulled into a big fat face. Chen Jing laughed.

"When you go back, you have to be honest, okay?"

"Got it!" Chen Jing suddenly twisted like a snake and leaned over, "I'll come and see him during the summer vacation, right?"

"You have to agree with both your father and aunt before you can come. It's important that you don't let them worry."

"Well, it's going to be a no-brainer. Then I might as well die." Chen Jing said loudly.

The dead word poked through himself like a needle, and Chen Si was silent.

Chen Jing played with the phone for a while and fell asleep on him. Chen Si looked out the window with some concern.
