Chapter 36: I Don't Want to Be Your Sister
A small restaurant with local characteristics in Shanghai, there are not many people and there are no less, Xu Meiyun led the way, Chen Wen followed closely, talking and laughing, and the two entered the door.
A small table was found, and the two sat down facing each other.
"What do you want to eat, what do you like to eat?" Xu Meiyun handed the menu to Chen Wen.
"I'm not familiar with it, so let's do it. Chen Wen returned the menu to Xu Meiyun, "I'll just pay for it." ”
"You are a guest, how can you pay. Xu Meiyun took over the menu, "The braised lion head here is good, I'll order one for you." ”
"Okay, you have all the ideas. "Chen Wenle has to eat ready-made, no need to use his brain.
"Little sister, come on. A portion of braised lion's head, another smoked fish, another sweet and sour short ribs, a stir-fried small green vegetables, and an egg soup, it's okay. Xu Meiyun ordered the food neatly.
Xu Meiyun put down the menu and asked, "Do you drink?"
"Have a beer, what about you?" replied Chen Wen.
"I'll just drink water. Xu Meiyun said, "Little sister, bring a bottle of beer." ”
In a moment, the beer arrived.
"I replace wine with water, thank you for helping us subdue the bad guys today!" Xu Meiyun said.
"Little things, don't always say it. Chen Wen hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and the two clinked glasses.
"Classmate Chen Wen, why do you wear such a national defense green, and besides, you are not from Shanghai, so where did you come from here?" Xu Meiyun asked curiously.
"My family is in Hongcheng, Jiangxi Province, and this time I came to Shanghai to handle some things, and I also want to visit some friends. Chen Wen replied.
"Oh, what you are handling is to buy a subscription warrant?" Xu Meiyun is very smart.
"Yes. Chen Wen said.
"Wow, you're so rich, you bought so much at once today. Xu Meiyun did not say the number of 15,000 yuan in public, she drew a number one with her left hand and a number five with her right hand.
Chen Wen smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, touched Xu Meiyun's teacup, took a sip of beer, and did not speak.
"What do you do at home, how can you have so much money?" Xu Meiyun continued to be a curious baby.
"My parents went to work abroad, and I studied in Hongcheng by myself. Chen Wen replied selectively, this way of answering can allow Xu Meiyun to weave an answer for herself.
Sure enough, Xu Meiyun suddenly realized: "No wonder, you have so much money, your parents work abroad, it's amazing!"
Xu Meiyun's line of thought was very common in the Shanghai Stock Exchange at that time, and even in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the following decades.
This has nothing to do with admiring foreign flattery, nor can we accuse Shanghai people of being snobbish, which is completely a recognition attitude towards successful people and the pursuit of a better quality of life.
Young men and women looking for their other half, under the premise that the concubine is interested in each other, if the material conditions of the other party can be slightly better, then wouldn't it be happier!
People go to high places, water flows to low places, this is the common feeling of people through the ages, Shanghai, the imperial capital, Yangcheng these super cities are all like this, the second and third tier cities are also the same, all levels of counties, towns and villages are still the same, there is no need to put a certain label only on the big city people.
---------------------------------
The first course came up, smoked fish.
"Chen Wen, try it, this is a famous local dish. Xu Meiyun pushed the plate in front of Chen Wen.
"It's delicious, it's delicious! You can eat it too!" Chen Wen was not polite, and first sandwiched a piece of fish.
"Chen Wen, are you still a student, a college student or a middle school student?" Xu Meiyun asked after taking a bite of fish.
"Hehe, all guessed wrong, in fact, I am a secondary school student, I am in the second year of Hongcheng Normal College, and I graduated in the second half of this year. Chen Wen replied.
"Oh, then you're 19 years old now, are you 20 years old?" Like many beauties, Xu Meiyun may not be good at doing arithmetic problems when she goes to school, but her brain is very bright when she calculates the age of the other party.
"I just turned 18 a few days ago, and now I'm 19 years old. After Chen Wen answered, he thought about it and did not rashly ask the girl's age.
"Oh, then I'm a year older than you, I just had my 19th birthday, and I'm not even 20 years old. Xu Meiyun is not hypocritical at all.
"Then I should call you Sister Xu. Chen Wen touched the cup with Xu Meiyun again.
"Don't do it, I don't want to be your sister, call me old!" Xu Meiyun refused, "Just call me Meiyun, I'll call you Awen, okay?"
For the boy who makes her heart move, Xu Meiyun doesn't want to put herself in a position of being a sister at the beginning of their acquaintance, which will naturally create a distance between herself and the other party.
"Listen to you, Miyun. Chen Wen said.
"Cheers, Arwen. Xu Meiyun picked up the teacup.
Chen Wen's mentality is very casual, his 19-year-old body has a soul in his forties, as long as a girl is not more than forty years old, she is a little girl in his eyes.
As for calling my sister or my sister, it's nothing, it's just a title.
Xu Meiyun, who is beautiful and moving, attractive, cheerful and active, made Chen Wen feel the demeanor of contemporary Shanghai girls.
---------------------------------
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed four flavors and one soup.
"Ah Wen, how long are you going to stay in Shanghai this time?" asked Xu Meiyun.
"I'm not sure now, maybe I will go back to Hongcheng before the year, or maybe after the year, depending on whether things go smoothly or not. Chen Wen said.
"Didn't you already buy what you were going to buy, what else do you want to buy?" Xu Meiyun blinked with big eyes.
"I'm going to visit a few friends, and I don't know where they are, but they are in Shanghai. Chen Wen said.
"Male or female?" Xu Meiyun was a little cunning.
"There are both men and women. Chen Wen would not be so easily led by Xu Meiyun's careful thoughts, and said nonsense, "They are all kinds of friends of my parents and parents, both men and women, all of whom are uncles and aunts. ”
Of course, you can't tell Su Qian's shallow matter, wouldn't that be asking for trouble.
"Oh!" Xu Meiyun took a sip of tea, secretly happy in her heart.
"Maybe I will leave the Shanghai market a few days before the Chinese New Year, or maybe I will pass the year in Shanghai. Chen Wen said.
"Before the Chinese New Year, come to me, I'll take you around, there are a lot of fun and delicious places in Shanghai!" Xu Meiyun sent out an invitation.
"No problem, I'll do things first, in a few days, I will definitely come to you, come to your unit, okay?" Chen Wen asked for the other party's opinion.
"A word is a certainty!" Xu Meiyun happily touched another glass with Chen Wen.
---------------------------------
Xu Meiyun took out a pen and paper from her small bag and wrote down the mailing address of her unit, as well as two phone numbers.
"This is the phone number and address of our branch, and you can send a letter here when you return to Hongcheng in the future. This is my home phone number, I live with my mom and dad. Xu Meiyun handed the note to Chen Wen and said.
"Your handwriting is so beautiful. But I'm sorry, I don't have a mailing address or phone number for the time being, so I'll tell you when I know if it's confirmed in the future. Chen Wen folded the note in Xu Meiyun's handwriting and put it in the pocket of his camouflage uniform.
Xu Meiyun's big eyes flashed with curiosity, Chen Wen couldn't bear to let the beauty misunderstand, and patiently explained the reason.
Chen Wen said that he lives on campus all year round and rarely returns to his home in the back street of the railway, and if the letter is sent to his home, it is likely to be lost or damaged, and there is no telephone installed in the house.
Chen Wen also said that the address of the teacher's college is actually of little significance, because starting in March, he will go to a primary school for internship.
As for where he will go after the internship, Chen Wen did not admit that he had sold the establishment of the second elementary school, nor did he confess that he would definitely not go to the second elementary school in the future, but only said that he did not know which unit he would be assigned to after the internship period, so he was not sure of the accurate mailing address for most of the next six months or even a year.
After Xu Meiyun listened, the two willow eyebrows stretched out, and her mood was much brighter.
With enough wine and food, the basic task has been achieved, Xu Meiyun proposed to pay the bill and leave.
After a small dispute, Chen Wen finally got the right to pay.
Xu Meiyun said that Chen Wen must not grab the bill next time.
Chen Wen smiled and agreed.
