Chapter 151

After completing the task of taking pictures, the bicycle was temporarily placed at the corridor entrance of a certain building in the textile factory affiliated courtyard.Using a bicycle as a means of transportation to complete a journey of more than an hour in today's weather, whether by bicycle or car, is an unthinkable task for both.

Tuhai: Over the years, he has not been as strong as before... Riding a car for an hour with the head wind... a little hard work...

Lin Mei: Pregnant...

Compared with it, the bus is much more friendly.And thanks to the newly developed route, there is a direct train!It doesn't get much better than this.

Lin Mei and Tu Hai got into the car, staggered for half an hour, and arrived at the gate of Shengyi.This gate really hasn't changed for many years, and it hasn't been rebuilt for a more beautiful gate or anything.And the second security guard at the gate of the school (older than the younger brother, younger than the uncle) took a look at the two of them from afar and waved his hand: Come in!

Lin Mei and Tuhai walked into the school gate with some apprehension, "...how did you get in so easily?" She felt unscientific.The attached middle school is so strict, why is it so simple here?As a former student of Provincial No. [-], she felt that Brother Security's actions were very irresponsible, and she suddenly felt angry.

Tu Hai also felt strange, but there seemed to be a little more strangers in the school today?After walking for a while, they have met several middle-aged uncles and aunts who don't look like teachers.

I probably saw the two of them looking around, and an aunt (Lin Mei was very conscientious) greeted them enthusiastically: "Are you also here to sign up for the child?"

Lin Mei smiled dryly: "Hehe, there is no child yet..." The child is still in the mother's womb.

"What's the name?" Tuhai asked.

The aunt stopped talking when she saw that they were not here to sign up, and quickly asked someone else.

It seems that there is an event in the province today.Lin Mei and Tuhai understood the reason why they were able to easily enter the school. Although they were a little curious, they had business to do, so they put this in the back of their minds and looked for scenes that could capture their memories.

But obviously, things won't go so smoothly.

Provincial No. [-] has not been expanded in the past few years, at least the main campus is still the same, and no new buildings have been built.But the number of students is increasing every year, so now wherever they go, there are many... many people.Reluctantly trying to take a photo in front of the library, not only was it shameful, the students coming and going paid attention, and it seemed that some people ran inside to find the teacher, so Lin Mei and Tu Hai had to leave in a hurry.

There is no need to think about entering the rest of the teaching building. Taking pictures in the classroom is just a dream.They took one look from afar and left.

On the playground, the small trees that were still thin when they left school also grew thicker a few times. Although the leaves have all fallen in winter, it is still very good to look at.Lin Mei and Tu Hai stood together under the tree, holding up the camera and taking a selfie.

No way, no photographer.Lin Mei can foresee that their photos today are probably all self-portraits.

Lin Mei also dragged Tu Hai to the red brick wall behind the cafeteria where He Qi and Zhou Yu were photographed.The brick wall was still the same, but the thick green and aggressive ivy in summer was now covered with dead branches. Lin Mei first stood in Tuhai to take pictures, and then changed back.Tuhai put on a school uniform over a leather jacket (it actually fits well), and stood in front of the red brick wall, without her telling him to laugh, he would laugh out loud, so silly.

Lin Mei asked him to stand, squat, do a tuzki-like blowing the muzzle of a gun and so on, and the two of them laughed out loud.There is no one around, so you don't feel ashamed to do any shameful actions, and the brain waves of the two overlapped together. Tu Hai was still holding an iron railing behind the cafeteria in the pose of Brother Monkey looking back, seeing how excited he is, Lin Mei Reluctantly photographed, the black history of youth will be treasured forever.

When the class bell rang (I haven't heard it for a long time, I was so touched when I heard it), all the students on the campus disappeared, as if by magic.A campus that loses students is not silent, but lonely.Although the scenery was still the same as before, the sun was shining brightly, but it felt much deserted.

Tuhai and Lin Mei were in the mood to stroll around the campus at this time, holding hands and taking big strides around the playground.I took photos one by one on the basketball court, football goal, and table tennis table.Seeing the flag-raising platform from a distance (no one around), the two of them slipped over to take a few photos like thieves.

Looking at the count, there were thirty or forty pictures. Tuhai looked at the memory and said, "I don't know how many can be used." , the small window looks barely there, who knows what the hell it will look like when it is actually typed out?Some things look like a person when zoomed out, but when zoomed in, all kinds of flaws are exposed.

Lin Mei is confident that she can take good pictures of Tu Hai, but she is not confident because she doesn't know what Tu Hai has taken of her.

If it doesn't work, wash them all in small sizes.

Tu Hai nodded and said, "Then I need to take a few more photos!" Although some photos may be really difficult to take out (Tu's mother may be heartbroken when she sees them), but he likes them all and doesn't want to delete any of them. I want to make all of them into a photo album, and use them as memories in the future.

The two of them had already circled around the province a couple of times just now, and on the last lap, they took pictures of all the similar trees, flower beds, wall corners, and stairs.Then change the angle and shoot again.Finally, seventy pieces were collected.

There was really nothing to photograph, and Lin Mei was tired after walking all afternoon, so she sat down by a flower bed and said, "Let's go? It's almost there, and I think it's enough for us."

Tuhai nodded, and stretched out his hand to help her stand up: "Go, go out and call a taxi." I won't take the bus when I go back, and the taxi will save effort.

As soon as the two stood up, they saw an uncle with a big belly and a handsome black wool coat looking at them about 50 meters away.

Lin Mei had a strange sense of familiarity with this black and seductive big brother's outfit, "... Teacher Zhao?"

The two looked at each other and walked over there.

The uncle changed his posture and turned to face them from the side. When the distance between the two sides was about ten meters, the uncle Mr. Zhao pointed at them and shouted: "What are you two doing? I just look like you."

Mr. Zhao still has the same demeanor.His hair was black and shiny (probably dyed), and his face was slightly red (he must have been drinking again at noon). He smiled at Lin Mei, then at Tu Hai, and pointed at Tu Hai and sighed at Lin Mei: "The little girl just looks at her face. Did you find the most handsome guy in our class? Just now I thought you came with Zheng Kai."

What Mr. Zhao likes and values ​​the most is still the able-bodied generals of the year.Tu Hai is a person who "remembers to study well, but doesn't have a high sense of presence in the class".

"It's grown taller and more beautiful." Teacher Zhao saw that Lin Mei's life is not bad now with a glance, and waved: "If you're not in a hurry, why don't you go home with me?"

Lin Mei stepped forward and took Teacher Zhao's arm, and said quite naturally: "We called you before, and I heard that you went to study?"

"Study, you have to learn it every few years." Teacher Zhao waved his hand.It was only after walking together that he realized that his steps were a little slow, not as big or as powerful as before.

Tu Hai was walking on the other side, Teacher Zhao looked at him with a smile, and said to Tu Hai after walking for half a minute: "By the way, Tu Hai, what are you doing now?"

Lin Mei: ... Teacher Zhao probably forgot Tu Hai's name just now.

There is no one in Mr. Zhao's house, but the house has been redecorated.After Mr. Zhao got home, he took off his coat and had to fetch tea leaves for them and boil water. He looked even older under the light.Tu Hai took over the job of boiling the water, Teacher Zhao laughed and said, "Your teacher's wife has moved to the new campus, and she didn't come back today. I only live here when I have a school meeting these days."

There is a cold pot and a cold stove in the house, and it gets dark early in winter, and it gets dark at six o'clock.Lin Mei and Tu Hai wanted to invite Mr. Zhao out for dinner, Mr. Zhao waved his hands again and again: "No, I went out to eat too much with them at noon, so I don't plan to eat at night. I'm not hungry at all now. Sit down and talk to me."

Mr. Zhao probably wanted to talk after he was drunk. He talked a lot, like Mr. Fang passed away last year. "It's over in a moment." Mr. Zhao patted his thigh, said like a child who has been wronged, and smiled at Lin Mei.

Lin Mei's eye sockets immediately became wet.

Mr. Zhao may have held these words in his heart for a long time.Mr. Dong suffered from poor waist and legs in his early years, and now he is basically incapable of working. "Old Feng was your Mrs. Dong's mother before. I didn't have any ideas about taking him to Beijing and Shanghai. It would be too troublesome to have an operation. The main reason is that he will not recover well at his age, so he can only be treated conservatively." Teacher Dong smacked his lips, a little Shaking his head regretfully: "His office shouldn't be so high."

Tu Hai looked at Lin Mei worriedly. Just now he avoided calling home and said that they were at Mr. Zhao's house and they might have to go back later.Up to now, he walked away all afternoon without eating, and talked with Teacher Zhao again. He was worried that her body would not be able to bear it.

Lin Mei understood Mr. Zhao a little bit, maybe these old friends had accidents one after another, which made him a little scared.But this kind of thing can't be said to my own children, and it's not good to say it to my teacher's wife.After drinking some more wine, he started talking when he saw these two disciples whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"I haven't led classes for a long time, and I don't attend classes. I just occasionally produce a few sets of papers and give lectures to the teachers. The children are terrible now, and they are not as easy to manage as you were at that time." Teacher Zhao held a slightly hot hand. teacup, and smiled at Lin Mei.He also found that the topic he just said was wrong, and began to talk about Lin Mei's classmates back then.

In fact, most of the classmates Mr. Zhao mentioned, Lin Mei, had never had much contact with each other.In fact, her social circle at school was very small. In addition to being with Zhou Yu, she was with He Qi and Zheng Kai when she was not studying.Teacher Zhao said where this one went to work, this one was married, this one was divorced, she said with a surprised face: "Really? I didn't expect that!"

At this time the atmosphere is more relaxed.But Tuhai thought for a while, and went into the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge.Because Mr. Zhao mainly talks to Lin Mei, and hardly has anything to do with him.

Lin Mei heard the sound of Tuhai running to the kitchen to wash up, put the pot on fire, but Teacher Zhao didn't seem to hear it (she saw that Teacher Zhao was more drunk than she imagined), and kept pulling her to talk, and she didn't even hear it. There was no chance of getting up to find an excuse to take a look, so I had to ignore it for now.

Teacher Zhao haha ​​at the end, he was also happy talking, then remembered that Lin Mei appeared with Tu Hai (Young man, you finally have a sense of existence!), and asked: "By the way, have you two settled down yet?"

Lin Mei took the opportunity to invite Teacher Zhao to a wedding.

"Ah! Good! Good! I will definitely go! When?" Teacher Zhao laughed, and turned to talk to the other newcomer, looking around, huh?What about people?At this time, Teacher Zhao finally heard the movement in the kitchen, and asked Lin Mei blankly, "What did he do in the kitchen?"

Lin Mei quickly said, "I'll go and have a look."

Here, the porridge is ready.Tu Hai learned from Lin Meixue to make this porridge. Put a handful of rice and a small bowl of oatmeal, and boil it for a while to have a thick porridge. The taste is very good (one serving).If you want the porridge to be more fragrant, you can add a few drops of cooking oil.

Lin Mei leaned over, "Why are you cooking porridge here?" The thick one looks delicious
Tuhai said quietly: "I'm afraid you're hungry." He is a good husband who loves his wife
"How long have you been up?"

"Two handfuls of rice and three bowls of water." Tuhai picked up the half bag of oatmeal he dug out from the cupboard, and now there was only an empty bag left, "I put all the oatmeal in there. Don't worry, I've seen it, and there are no bugs."

Can't we just drink porridge?Lin Mei patted Tuhai and asked him to go out and sit with Mr. Zhao, so she could see what else could be conjured up in the kitchen.

Less than half a minute after Tu Hai went out, he heard Mr. Zhao shouting in surprise (panic) in the living room: "Cooking?! What are you cooking for?" Mr. Zhao trotted over, "Lin Mei, don't do it! No need. Do it! There's nothing in the house..."

Lin Mei was cracking eggs and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you okay eating eggs?"

Teacher Zhao lifted the lid of the pot in front of the natural gas stove, and there was boiling porridge in the pot, "It's ready." He reacted, and smiled quietly at Lin Mei, "He made it? Yes! This craftsmanship... "

Tu Hai followed, and found that Mr. Zhao was also very involved and began to dig through the cupboard, "I remember there are two cans of shredded scallops..." Seeing Tu Hai, he quickly gave the boy an order: "Go downstairs to the small shop at the door. Bring up a bag of steamed buns, and the wallet is on the shoe cabinet."

Mr. Zhao, who was eating this meal, kept laughing and said, "This meal is really meaningful!" He found that Tuhai was carrying a camera, and he wanted to take a picture with them at the dinner table.

There is only a plate of scrambled eggs with chopped green onion on the dining table, and a bag of pickled vegetables, which Lin Mei cut into shreds and fried in oil, and a can of scallop shreds, which are fresh and salty.It's all a good dish to drink porridge with steamed buns.

The porridge is also cooked just right, and three bowls of water are three bowls.Teacher Zhao only ate half a steamed bun with the porridge, but Lin Mei didn't persuade him, fearing that he would eat too much and fill his stomach.After eating and washing the dishes, they left.Teacher Zhao sent them downstairs, then to the door, and then to the street to watch them take a taxi.

"I will definitely go to the wedding." Teacher Zhao said.

"I'll pick you up then." Tu Hai and Lin Mei said.Teacher Zhao's drink was already sober at this time, and he didn't talk so much, watching them get into the car.After Lin Mei and Tuhai got into the car, they looked in the rear mirror. Teacher Zhao was still standing at the intersection and went in after a while.

Both Lin Mei and Tu Hai felt uncomfortable.

"Will you come to pick up Teacher Zhao then?" Lin Mei said.On the day of the wedding, the groom had many things to do, but Mr. Zhao had better let him pick him up and take him to the hotel in person.

"I'll come." Tuhai said.

Teacher Zhao was sweating all over after eating, feeling the cool breeze outside, took out the phone and called Teacher Dong, "Where are you eating? What did you eat? What did you eat? I just had two students come to see me. It’s been seven or eight years and I still remember, oh, I’m also very happy... It’s not eating out, no, eating at home, it’s made by students, they are still a couple, and they invited me to the wedding... Same class, fate Right? I also think it's fate. It's not showing off! You say you're narrow-minded, right?"

While talking on the phone, he slowly walked home.
