My 1991

Chapter 87, There is a cat meowing in winter

The mountains outside the mountains are covered with snow, but there is not much snow left on the streets around Baoqing City.

No. 1 Middle School is not far from the station. It took 15 minutes to drive there.

Santana pulled over and Zhou Kun asked, "When will you start school?"

"The twelfth day of the first lunar month."

"Do you have a phone at home?"

"I don't have it at home, but the canteen across the street does."

Zhou Kun quickly took out a pen and copy, "What's the number?"

The two exchanged contact information with each other. Lu An said "Thank you" and ran to the exit of the bus station in one breath.

He did not enter the station, but waited near the exit, so that he could often get on the bus in the shortest time. Because after the shuttle bus lined up at the station leaves the station, you usually have to wait for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Seeing him carrying a bag, looking like a student, the aunt broke out from the group of women, shook the fat sack and asked loudly:

"Yazi, where are you going? To Jinshi Bridge?"

"He doesn't go to Jinshiqiao. He is from Qianzhen. I recognize him. He often rides in our car."

Before Lu An could reply, a young woman next to him had already reached out and pulled him over, and then walked forward.

The young woman is not very strong, but she is extremely strong. She walks like a tiger, fearing that the duck she got will fly away.

Aunt Azabu looked suspicious and unhappy, and her constipated face almost vomited fragrance from her mouth.

Luan asked, "How much?"

"15."

After saying that, the young woman looked back at him and explained skillfully: "It's snowing again during the Spring Festival. I see you are a familiar face. We have already given you the lowest price on this road."

Lu An didn't believe this nonsense, but he was too lazy to argue. He just wanted to go home early, "Is there any room in the car?"

"Yes, there are few people on the bus today, and there are still many seats."

The young woman didn't lie to him this time, there was indeed room in the car.

And surprisingly, he met an acquaintance, Wei Fangyuan.

"Fang Yuan, why are you here?"

"Huh? Didn't Lu An go back a few days ago?"

When they saw each other, the two said hello almost at the same time.

They looked at each other for a while, then smiled. Lu An sat down next to her and said:

"Something happened a few days ago, so I was delayed. What about you?"

Wei Fangyuan replied: "I stayed at my sister's house for a few days."

Lu An glanced at her and asked half-seriously: "Isn't it to avoid Zeng Lingbo?"

Wei Fangyuan looked a little embarrassed after his thoughts were revealed, but finally admitted:

"I knew it. Lu An, you are so smart, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Lu An smiled and said: "Actually, it was obvious that you didn't go home with us last time. It's not difficult to guess."

Wei Fangyuan looked around inside the car and then outside the car. He hesitated for a while before asking, "Do you think I'm going too far?"

Lu An stretched out his hand to touch his school bag and shook his head: "Everyone has the right to choose, not to mention that the three of us grew up together. It is not easy to be able to stand together through thick and thin from preschool to now. I respect your choose."

Hearing this, Wei Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously took away the hand that was holding the clothes around his heart, and then explained:

"Lu An, actually I don't want to hide it from you. I once saw Zeng Lingbo's father stabbing someone with a machete at Jinshi Bridge. More than ten people surrounded one person.

That scene was so violent that I still feel scared when I think about it. People in the village said that Zeng Lingbo was very similar to his father in terms of temperament and personality. "

"No need to explain, I can understand."

Lu An responded, and then joked: "But then again, Zeng Lingbo's father is a maniac about doting on his wife. He treats his wife like a treasure. He can buy whatever is good for him. There is nothing to say about the good things."

Thinking of the woman who had nothing to do with her, Wei Fangyuan couldn't refute.

Having someone to talk to made the journey less boring. However, the shuttle broke down soon after passing Jianhua and broke down. The driver initially said it was a trivial matter and that everyone should not be impatient.

After half an hour of tinkering, the driver, under everyone's urging, said helplessly: "I don't know what's wrong, so I had to call the master to fix it."

Some people expressed great dissatisfaction: "How long will it take to fix it?"

The driver didn't dare to offend the public again this time. He spread his hands and told the truth: "There is no village or shop in this place. The snow on the road is so thick that we can't see many cars in a day. I don't have a good idea."

Seeing a few farmers starting to use foul language, the driver had no choice but to quickly add: "Otherwise, if you are willing to wait, just wait in the car.

If you don't want to wait, see if there are other buses coming up later. I'll say hello and have them pick you up. "

Someone asked: "When will we wait?"

The driver said: "It depends on luck. If you are lucky, it will be very fast. If you are not lucky, it may go at night.

On this day and on this kind of road, we are all risking our lives to make money, and most people don’t dare to get out of the car. "

It turned out that everyone was out of luck.

It took a full hour to wait for the next bus, and it was on a different route, so we had to take the bus to Qijiang.

The two cars merged into one, and the empty seat suddenly became a hot commodity. Lu An pushed Wei Fangyuan and squeezed, and it took a lot of effort to get a seat.

As a result, before my butt was warm from sitting, the old driver in front of me suddenly cursed: Damn Mahler Gobi, this is going to be fatal!

Everyone in the car looked around and suddenly felt sad.

I saw a landslide on the road ahead and the road was completely cut off.

A huge boulder the size of a house is lying in the middle of the road. Let alone today, it will not be opened to traffic for ten days and a half.

Everyone yelled at the big rock for a long time, but in the end there was nothing they could do. The driver refunded part of the money, and everyone started to climb the mountain and take the small road back to Qianzhen.

"Give me the school bag."

Climbing up a hill, Lu An took the initiative to take Wei Fangyuan's schoolbag. Her schoolbag is like a pregnant woman's breasts, bulging and heavy.

Wei Fangyuan, who was tired and out of breath, was not pretentious. As the youngest daughter of the village party secretary, she had been pampered since she was a child. She only wanted to study and get out of this mountain. Her physical constitution was far inferior to that of ordinary rural people.

Even though we took a small path, it was still a long way, and we had to climb three mountains on the way back.

By the time he reached the third seat, Wei Fangyuan was breathing heavily and had two big blood blisters on his feet.

She pressed her knees with her hands, bent over and said breathlessly: "I used to like snow very much. Today and in the future, I don't want to see this kind of ghost weather again."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to walk on a snowy day. It is particularly strenuous.

To be honest, Lu An was very tired carrying two schoolbags, but he still had a free hand to support her arm and cheered:

"It's coming, it's coming. If you keep persisting, you can cross this mountain and walk two miles to the town."

With his help, Wei Fangyuan endured the pain in his feet, gritted his teeth and started on the road again, "Lu An, how far have we gone?"

Lu An made a rough estimate, "Hmm... about 20 miles. I don't know the exact number, but we have been walking for more than 3 hours."

Wei Fangyuan looked up at the sky, then looked ahead, and found that the people who set out together had long since disappeared, leaving only a series of messy footprints on the mountain road.

When passing by a cemetery on a barren mountain, she was a little scared, so she tried her best to gain courage and said, "Lu An, thank you for helping me. I'll sing to you."

"OK."

"I am half drunk and tired, wandering in the twilight."

"This song is nice. Is it by Jacky Cheung?"

"Yes, Jacky Cheung's "I only want to love one person in my life", I heard it from my sister."

At first, only Wei Fangyuan sang. Later, Lu An knew some of the songs, so he also sang along.

I just forgot the lyrics while singing, and I don’t know what was being sung later on. Anyway, I followed it and fished in troubled waters until I reached Qianzhen.

After finally coming out of the mountain, Wei Fangyuan shouted happily: "Ah! Finally out, Lu An, I'll treat you to wontons."

Lu An said: "Sure, Miss Wei is always good for money, so I'm not polite."

"Where should we go to eat?"

"Let's go to Qian Yuejin Wonton Shop."

“Oh, the lady boss there is better than the wontons.”

"Hey, don't tell me."

"Hehe, you are so bad."

After climbing mountains and wading all the way, the two of them were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, so they ordered a big bowl of wontons as soon as they sat down.

It cost 3 yuan in total.

"Lu An, I have been eating wontons for more than ten years, and I have never thought that wontons taste as good as they do today. They are so delicious."

When the wontons were served on the table, Wei Fangyuan couldn't wait to take a sip of the hot soup, then popped a wonton into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.

Lu An hummed a few times, and there was no time to talk nonsense to her. Damn it, he was about to faint from the fragrant wontons.

After filling his stomach, Wei Fangyuan followed Lu An to the tailor shop and found that the shop door was closed today.

Then the two of them went to the town without stopping. Unfortunately, they were on holiday after taking exams yesterday.

Standing at the school gate, Wei Fangyuan asked: "Where are we going next? Going back?"

Lu An turned around and walked back: "I'm going to buy some meat, and I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Your feet are so tired, why don't you go to Shimen Station and wait for me?"

Wei Fangyuan said, "No, I'll go with you. I'll also buy some gifts for my parents."

After spending a lot of time, I chopped 2 pounds of beef and 3 pounds of pork. I also bought two pairs of ladies' leather boots with velvet and two pairs of leather gloves.

Finally, I bought two colorful scarves.

In such a cold weather, he originally wanted to buy some more charcoal for the winter, but after taking a look at Fa Xiaoba at his side, he gave up. The way back was full of mountainous roads, and he might even have to support her.

Qianzhen is 12 miles away from the reservoir. The two of them stepped hard and lightly on the snow, making a "squeaking" sound.

It took almost 2 hours to get home.

Arriving at the crossroads, Wei Fangyuan felt like she was surviving a disaster, and the girl's heart was filled with excitement as she spun around in circles:

"Wow. It's not easy. It's finally here. Luan, thank you."

Lu An gave her the schoolbag: "Oh, don't thank me anymore. You have thanked me countless times in the past ten years. My ears can feel calluses."

Wei Fangyuan stuck out her tongue cutely, took her schoolbag and left.

It was already past 5 o'clock in the evening, and it was dinner time. Lu An could smell at least 6 different kinds of food aromas while standing at the intersection.

There was a little straw dog in the canteen that ran out of the house to attack him, but was scared out of his wits when he hit him with a stone. He suddenly shrank back, and with a "clang" sound, the dog's head even hit the door panel.

All of a sudden, the little grass dog whined and whined non-stop...

Grandma is a bitch! I haven't been back for two months, and even the dog feels like I'm easy to bully.

Lu An entered the main room and saw no one.

On the other hand, the kitchen inside was lit red by the stove fire, and the sound of a vegetable shovel could be heard.

She must have heard the noise outside. Song Jia held a vegetable spatula in one hand and a pot lid in the other and poked her head out. She was very surprised to see Lu An standing alone in the middle of the room:

"Brother, brother, you are back."

Lu An put the things on the ground and looked up at her. Thinking of what Sister Qingchi said two days ago, she felt a little uncomfortable:

"You are cooking again today, and eldest sister is not at home?"

Song Jia stared straight at the contents of the sack and asked happily: "Brother, did you buy shoes for me?"

"Yes, I bought them. You and eldest sister each have a pair. I also bought gloves and scarves. It's too cold today, so I thought you might use them."

As he spoke, Lu An took out the things from the sack one by one.

Song Jia looked left and right, making gestures with it in her hand, with a smile on her face.

He asked: "Do you like it?"

Song Jia wrapped the colorful scarf around her neck once and again. When she was done, she couldn't help but said, "It looks good, it looks good. Brother, you have really good taste."

She was satisfied with the scarf, the gloves, and the velvet boots captured Song Jia's heart. After caressing her lovingly, she belatedly remembered what her second brother had just asked:

"Sister went to my aunt's house to help. My aunt sold a new brick kiln this month and plans to start a red brick business."

Brick kiln red brick business?

Oops, he had forgotten about it even if his sister didn't mention it. Didn't the eldest aunt and the second aunt later become rich because of this business?

After trying hard to remember, but unable to recall too many details, Lu An asked: "How long have you been away, eldest sister? Are you still back for dinner?"

Song Jia told: "Sister went there in the morning and said she wouldn't be back for dinner, so she asked me to cook it myself."

Luan went into the kitchen, "What did you cook?"

Song Jia followed up: "Brother, I'm frying tofu."

Lu An looked into the pot and immediately frowned: "Is this the only dish?"

Song Jia looked at him strangely: "I'm the only one eating, how many more dishes do you want?

We don’t have a lot of money in our house, so how can we lay out a table of food like those landlords on TV? "

Lu An secretly thought that he was confused. His younger sister was stingier than her eldest sister. How could she eat well at home alone?

Without saying a word, he walked to the main room and brought the pork in. Then he raised the knife and cut into a pound, rinsed both sides with water and then ordered:

"Go and prepare a handful of garlic sprouts and red pepper seeds. I'll show you my skills today."

Song Jia couldn't help but be greedy when she saw the meat. She wanted to say, "Brother, let's eat it after the eldest sister comes back." But after receiving the unquestionable look in her second brother's eyes, she hurriedly put down the vegetable shovel and ran to the backyard to do some work.

"Brother, I heard from my eldest sister that you can make money by painting. Is it true?"

Across the threshold, Song Jia asked.

"Um."

Song Jia lowered her voice, "Is there really that many 60,000?"

"Um."

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Lu An smiled, and then asked with a straight face: "I give you 20 yuan a month for living expenses, why don't you use it?"

Knowing that the answer to this question was not good, and the second brother might be about to attack him, Song Jia rolled her eyes and said:

"Jingjing's father is not a butcher. He delivers vegetables to her every day. Jingjing often gives half of it to me, so I don't have to buy vegetables."

Lu An believed half of this.

Yan Jingjing is indeed close to her sister, and she is indeed a very generous person.

But he didn't believe it if Butcher Yan delivered vegetables every day.

In addition to being a butcher, Butcher Yan is also a bad card player. He often cannot tell the difference between east, west, north and south when sitting at the card table. How could he be thinking about his daughter all the time?

Lu An didn't care about the past, but casually took out the 1,000 yuan he had prepared from his pocket and gave it to her: "This is the tuition and fees for the next semester. If you have more, you can use it as your own pocket money.

Remember to buy more food, eat better, and wear better clothes. Our family is not short of money now, so don’t save it for me, okay? "

The first time she saw so much money, Song Jia's eyes immediately widened, but she didn't pick it up:

"Brother, we don't need so much, 5"

"Why are you blabbering with me? Now I have to sell a painting for 20,000 yuan, and there is still less than that." Lu An deliberately tried to bluff her face and stuffed the money into her pocket.

Song Jia was still frightened: "Brother, this is 1,000 yuan, a lot of money."

Lu An turned around and gave her a slap on the head, pretending to be a brother: "What's wrong with 1,000? Is it a lot?

You keep this money yourself, what can a girl do if she doesn’t have any private money?

Later I will give eldest sister 40,000 yuan. "

Song Jia put her hand into her pocket and held the wad of money. Sure enough, she was immediately led astray: "40,000? That much?"

Lu An waved his hand and said very arrogantly: "I said it's not bad money, 40,000 is nothing.

When Brother Mingming gives you the entire 400,000 yuan, I'm sure you will be dazzled by it. "

Song Jia put the washed garlic sprouts on the chopping board and reminded her with a smile: "Brother, you said dirty words."

Lu An scratched his head: "Really? This is Mandarin. People in the capital like to add it at the end."

The dinner was very sumptuous, including meat, tofu, and diced radish. The brother and sister had their mouths full of oil.

"Brother, I want Kaolong to go back to No. 1 Middle School."

In the middle of the meal, Song Jia said this.

Lu An wanted to ask her why she didn't go to Baoqing, but thinking of her tense relationship with the Meng family, she immediately changed her tune:

"Longhui No. 1 Middle School is good, very good. I heard that two students from Tsinghua and Peking University are recommended every year. You have to work hard and strive to get this spot in the future."

"Yes, I think so too."

Song Jia started to be a top student this semester. She ranked first in her age group in all four exams. Now she is obsessed with herself.

Then she added: "Jingjing is also going to No. 1 Middle School."

Lu An asked casually: "Are Jingjing's grades good enough? Your school can take up to 10 exams a year, right?"

Song Jia blinked: "Not enough, her grades are only good enough for the second grade, but her family has enough money."

Lu An was immediately convinced when he said "Money is enough". Don't treat butchers like butchers of dogs these days. They are not short of money.

After dinner, seeing that the eldest sister hadn't come back yet, the brother and sister used a flashlight and rushed to their aunt's house.

Song Jia was obviously still immersed in the joy of the 1,000 yuan, and she even walked a little giddy.

Seeing that she still had short hair, Lu An said, "Sister, let your hair grow long. I like to see you grow your hair long."

"ah?"

Song Jia was still in her fantasy, she heard the words and said, "Oh, okay."

My aunt's house is not in Shangcun, but it's not far away. It only takes less than 20 minutes to walk.

As we passed the path, we could smell the choking smell of coal smoke across the distance from Luan. The brick kiln was all red and bright, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

"Brother Liu Yang, drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Before he was completely close, Lu An heard the voice of his eldest sister Lu Yan. At this time, the latter was holding an enamel cup of water and passing it to the young brick-making master.

Brother Liu Yang? Liu Yang?

Lu An was stunned, hurriedly turned off the flashlight, and then sneakily ran over to take a look. Sure enough, it was Liu Yang, his brother-in-law in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was young and busy, reading books whenever he had time when he came home. I really don't know how the eldest sister and Liu Yang got along so well?

What is this about feelings?
