I walked silently behind the two of them for I don't know how long, until my stomach gurgled uncontrollably, and I had to interrupt the two of them. He asked, "Well, where are we going to eat?" ”

The two of them seemed to remember at this time that the purpose of our coming out was to eat, not to fall in love. Turning around, Chen Kun said to me a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I chatted with my apprentice and forgot about it all of a sudden." ”

After speaking, she looked at Li Xiuying again, at this time she seemed to be flushed, and her head was pressed lower than before. Looking at the scene in front of me, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be a little redundant. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You go on, I won't be your light bulb, I'll go find a place to eat by myself." ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when Li Xiuying opened her mouth and said, "Let's eat together, I invite you." ”

Her head was still low, her voice was barely audible, and her hands were fiddling with her hair.

At this time, Chen Kun hurriedly walked in front of me in two steps, dragged me, and said, "Let's go, my apprentice is rare to be generous." ”

I had to follow his strength and follow him towards the small restaurant next to him, and as he walked, he pointed to a nearby factory and said, "I worked here when I first came to Shenzhen, and I was too young at that time, so I borrowed the ID card of a fellow villager in my village to enter." After two years of work, he quarreled with his supervisor and was fired. ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the huge factory, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he remembered something. Li Xiuying's hand around his arm was even stronger, as if she wanted to give him some strength in this way.

Chen Kun had already let go of these old things, and gently patted Li Xiuying, who was hugging her arm and almost hanging on her, and said: "It's okay, I've already forgotten about it, if I didn't happen to pass by today, I wouldn't have remembered it." ”

After speaking, the senior glanced at the factory in front of him, and followed his eyes and looked at the factory in front of him. Behind the imposing gate is a wide small square, behind which is a small building with exquisite decoration, with two rows of factories on the left and right sides of the small building, extending all the way back.

And along the path we just walked, the factory stretched to the end of the road. Under the reflection of the lights of the shadows on the roadside, I can roughly see a silhouette, I really can't think of the right words to describe it, I just feel very shocked.

Rows of square buildings, like towering giants, are neatly arranged behind the sidewalks on both sides of the road. Although it is not the first time I have seen such a high-rise building, the first time I seriously inspected such a complex of buildings, I still had no respect.

At this moment, we stand in front of the door and look very small, I have to admire the great creativity of human beings, what kind of organizational ability to complete this huge project.

I couldn't help but continue to sigh, my stomach let out a weak moan again, and Li Xiuying next to me probably heard the protest of my stomach and burst out laughing. I scratched my head in embarrassment, and then followed two steps in the direction of Chen Kun to chase after me.

At this time, Chen Kun was standing at the door of a hotel with a rather imposing face, and looking at this decoration, I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart. Quickly grabbed him, and glanced at the antique signboard at the door with his eyes, the meaning was obvious.

Chen Kun also understood, lowered his voice and said to me: "Don't worry, when I used to work here, I often came here to eat, and the food here is very affordable, and the three of us can't eat much." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked inside, and Li Xiuying also followed, leaving me alone at the door to look at the three big characters on the plaque.

Li Xiuying followed Chen Kun up the three steps at the entrance of the hotel, saw that I was still in place, and reminded me in a low voice: "Xiao Yuan, let's go." ”

Seeing that Chen Kun had already entered the hotel, the waiter at the front desk had already twisted up a small basket and led him towards the hotel, and I could only follow.

Entering the hotel, I let out a weak moan in my heart, and the hotel was even more brilliantly decorated. There are dozens of large round tables neatly placed in the high hall, although the meal has passed, but there are still many people sitting around the round table and constantly pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the crowd is full of voices.

Looking at the lively scene in front of me, I was also unnaturally infected, and there was a stream of heat in my heart that was constantly rising, prosperous and prosperous, how many people would not be infected by the enthusiasm in front of me when they saw such a scene?

We sat down at a small square table against the wall with the front desk, and a waiter greeted us with a smile. Skillfully put away the extra pair of chopsticks on the table, and then lined up the chopsticks in front of us in front of us, and the movements were smooth and smooth in one go.

At this time, Chen Kun had already pushed the menu on the table at the front desk to Li Xiuying, and the meaning was obvious to let her order. Li Xiuying waved her hand again and again and said, "You order, I won't order." ”

After speaking, he pushed the menu back in front of Chen Kun, and said emphatically: "I have a treat today, you are not allowed to rob me." ”

After saying that, he looked at us seriously, and I could only smile awkwardly. Looking at the décor of the hotel, thinking about my shriveled wallet, and weighing it a little, I knew I couldn't afford to refuse her offer at this point.

Chen Kun also shrugged his shoulders at me in a shameful manner, meaning that he had no choice but to listen to her. Then he pushed the menu in front of me, and I looked at the menu that looked like a work of art, and I really didn't have the courage to open it.

I could only say to Chen Kun in a sneering manner: "I am not familiar with their dishes for the first time, so you can order them." ”

Although I tried to make my tone sound firm, the hot sensation on my face was spreading to my body.

Chen Kun saw that everyone shirked each other for a long time and no longer insisted, opened the menu and asked me if I had any taboos, and then skillfully ordered three dishes. When he was about to flip through the menu again, I quickly reached out to stop him and said, "There are three of us, three dishes are enough, let's order it after eating." ”

I thought it would be okay to let a girl treat me, and it would be bad if I didn't have some consciousness and ordered a lot of dishes. Chen Kun insisted for a while, seeing that I was resolute, so he didn't reluctantly close the menu and handed it to the waiter, and then asked for two bottles of beer and a bottle of drink before giving up.

The waiter brought the beer and drinks first, opened them for us, and put them in front of each other. Chen Kun picked up the beer that the waiter had placed on the table, poured a large glass into the cup in front of me, and then poured it full for himself.

He raised his glass, clinked glasses at me and said, "Today we drank for the first time, let's do one first." ”

After speaking, I raised my head and drank the wine in the cup, watching his crisp and neat movements, a sense of pride exploded in my heart, and I also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The waiter quickly brought the food up, and just now when Chen Kun was ordering, I peeked at the prices on the menu. Indeed, as Chen Kun said, although the decoration of the store is extremely luxurious, the price of the dishes is indeed not as unattainable as I imagined.

When I saw the waiter put the three dishes on the table, I suddenly felt a little worried about the boss, and with this amount of dishes, it would not be easy for him to make money. The wine and food are all ready, and the three of them are no longer polite, and Chen Kun and I are gobbling it up. Li Xiuying is quite subtle in eating as her name suggests, just keeping serving Chen Kun dishes and pouring wine.

After thirty years of wine, Chen Kun got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he asked us, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

looked at Li Xiuying first, she replied crisply, I was full, and I simply nodded.

"We're all full, let's go." Seeing that he had received an affirmative answer, Chen Kun proposed to leave.

Li Xiuying, as soon as she heard that she was leaving, naturally she simply got up and prepared to leave. My heart is miserable, when I eat, I have been struggling in my heart, if I really let Li Xiuying treat me, the manhood in my heart is not allowed.

I roughly calculated while eating, and the cost of this meal should be less than two hundred yuan. I can afford it through gritted teeth, but after paying for this meal, I really ran out of food. The only money left on my body was secretly stuffed to me by Wu Kai when I left.

Seeing that I hesitated for a moment, Chen Kun asked me puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I had to get up and say, "It's okay, let's go." ”

got up and walked outside with the two of them, Li Xiuying walked quickly to the front desk, ready to settle the bill. I had just made a decision in my heart to stop her, but Chen Kun had already reached out and grabbed her and said, "I have already bought it." ”

Li Xiuying looked at him in disbelief, and then said reproachfully: "Didn't you say that I would invite you to eat enough?" How do you pay for it, and I'll give you how much money. ”

After speaking, he took out a neat stack of banknotes from his bag and prepared to count the money.

Chen Kun shook it with a smile and said, "No need, you can keep your money and send it to your brother." ”

Of course Li Xiuying refused, so the two of them began to fight over who should pay the money, and seeing that they couldn't hold each other, I could only stand in place. In the end, seeing Li Xiuying's resolute attitude and not giving an inch, Chen Kun could only give in and say that he would let Li Xiuying treat him next time he had dinner.

Li Xiuying also saw that Chen Kun would not accept her money today no matter what, so she could only put the money back in her pocket stupidly, and then said to us with a firm look in her eyes: "You must let me treat you next time you eat." ”

I glanced at Chen Kun, and then nodded heavily in agreement, and then she turned around and walked towards the door with satisfaction, and Chen Kun naturally followed her closely. With the previous experience, this time I also became interested, as soon as I went out, I said to them: "You guys go first, I just came here and want to go around, familiar with the environment here." ”

When Chen Kun saw me say this, he threw me a look, as if to say, "You are very sensible." ”

I smiled helplessly, and then turned around and walked in the opposite direction without waiting for them to respond.

It's still a tall and dense banyan tree, it's still a busy National Highway 107, and the ghost sent me here. Walking aimlessly towards the front, National Highway 107 at that time was not as wide as it is now. In addition to the banyan trees that shade the sky, there are also various weeds and wild trees on both sides, and the dim light casts on the ground through the dense leaves.

As my footsteps moved, the shadows on the ground alternated between lengthening and shortening, sometimes in front of me, sometimes behind me.

Although it is already the middle of winter, the weather in Shenzhen is not at all conscious of winter, and the pedestrians on the road are all dressed in various clothes. There are those wearing thick cotton clothes, and there are also those wearing short clothes and shorts, when the two gangs pass by. I saw in their eyes a deep sense of incomprehension and contempt.

I guess at this time, both sides are secretly scolding a neurotic in their hearts. I wore a long-sleeved single shirt, which was a little cool, but not so cold. It's just that I don't know what to think about in my heart, I just look at the people, cars and houses in my heart.

Slowly walking along the sidewalk, I didn't look back, I didn't turn around. Because there is no goal, I can only keep moving forward, letting time slip away little by little. My mind drifted north along 107 until I couldn't gather them anymore.

I walked along the side of the national highway in Beijing, which is said to end at the end, until my body began to feel a little tired, and the soles of my feet and calves began to stiffen, and then I began to look back. In the direction from which he came, he began to measure the road under his feet again. Compared to when I came, I felt a lot faster when I went back, because I knew where my destination was.

My steps were naturally much lighter, and soon I was back in the dormitory. Looking at Chen Kun's empty bed, he didn't see him in the dormitory after turning around, and he expected them to continue to wander outside. I went outside to light a cigarette in the hallway, and then quietly looked at the small garden downstairs.

The small flower bed downstairs occupies almost all the space between the two dormitories, and the flower beds are planted with evergreen and some flowers that I can't name. Although it was the middle of winter, the trees were still blue and white, which was a wonder for me, who came from Sichuan.

At this time, the world of the hometown should have been blown yellow by the autumn wind, the trees were withered, and the birds could only find some lost seeds in the fields to feed.

Bursts of smoke kept coming out of his mouth and nose, and his eyes wandered casually upstairs and downstairs. At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from the room, followed by a group of workers in green overalls pouring out of the workshop. Hooking each other's shoulders, chasing and fighting, there was laughter.

Looking at the crowd and gathered together, it was scattered and separated, and there were many people in the crowd who were making a fuss. There were ripples in my heart, this is probably what youth looks like, carefree and unscrupulous. In the crowd, the vast majority of them were girls, with beautiful appearances and smiling openly.

Suddenly, my heart seemed to be touched by something, and an emotion that had been buried in my heart for a long time was waking up little by little, and my eyes were once again sweeping the crowd. I suddenly remembered the famous saying in my heart: Winter is coming, will spring be far away? At this moment, the afterglow of his eyes fell on the tree at the door, and there seemed to be a trace of tender green on the treetops.
