Nostalgia.

more than ten years ago.

Chen Liang came to the Northwest Ridge for construction.

Here, I met Hu Li.

At the time, Hu Li was working as a waitress in a restaurant.

She was very young, just a little girl.

When Chen Liang arrived, the first thing he saw when he saw Hu Li was that he felt something was going to happen between him and this girl.

Yes.

Then it happened.

It actually happened.

……

One summer day at noon that year, Chen Lianggang returned to Northwest Ridge from his hometown.

He wanted to find a restaurant to eat at.

After searching around, I finally arrived at this restaurant.

When he looked up and saw the proprietress, he thought she was very charming.

She is very tall.

Tall.

Long legs.

His face was one that Chen Liang greatly admired.

You could also say she's beautiful.

It possesses a woman's gentleness and beauty.

She also possesses the ruggedness characteristic of women from the Northwest...

Chen Liang admired the proprietress.

Chen Liang ordered a bowl of noodles.

Since it was noon, Chen Liang just ate a little something and drank some beer before hurrying back to the construction site to check on things.

At that time, Chen Liang was already single.

By then, his wife had already passed away.

At that time, he had not yet married that wicked woman.

Therefore, at that time, Chen Liang's heart was pure and full of love.

Of course, Chen Liang also has love in his heart now.

I just won't give it to others so easily anymore.

……

The waiter brought over the noodles.

The moment Chen Liang saw her, he immediately sensed that something was about to happen between them.

"Uncle."

The girl actually called Chen Liang "uncle".

Chen Liang felt very uncomfortable.

The proprietress laughed and said from behind, "Why call me 'uncle'? Call me 'brother'!"

The girl called out again, "Brother."

She was very shy.

Chen Liang could tell.

……

She is Hu Li.

……

Chen Liang is eating noodles...

Hu Li was busy going in and out...

She is 1.7 meters tall, which is quite tall.

Chen Liang watched and admired it.

She is very thin.

Slender and graceful...

……

Chen Liang had a feeling, but he didn't do anything.

He stared at the girl for a while, finished his noodles and a bottle of beer, and then hurried back to the construction site.

Chen Liang came from Tianjin this time.

The construction site in Tianjin has been shut down, so he can finally take a break.

There's no need to go through all that trouble anymore.

……

Later, Chen Liang visited the restaurant several more times.

Then, they came frequently.

Over time, I became familiar with the proprietress.

I also became familiar with the two waiters at the restaurant.

That is, Hu Li and another girl.

The girl's name is Cui Yun.

Cui Yun is not tall.

But she is fair-skinned.

He is often dressed in white.

Hu Li wasn't very fair-skinned; she had the tanned skin typical of women from the Northwest.

But she was charming, she was beautiful, and she possessed an attractive allure.

Perhaps, in Chen Liang's heart, he doesn't really appreciate pretty girls, but rather he greatly admires the girls he has his eye on.

For example, Zhao Tingting is very beautiful, but Chen Liang didn't like her at first.

I don't like it at all.

Only after so many years have passed has Chen Liang developed a faint affection for her.

……

During that time, Chen Liang also returned to his hometown.

He also runs construction sites elsewhere.

At that time, four construction sites were operating simultaneously.

Chen Liang traveled all over the country...

……

Gradually, autumn arrived.

On this day, Chen Liang returned from his hometown and came to the Northwest Ridge again.

He returned to the restaurant and met Hu Li, Cui Yun, and the proprietress.

By this time, everyone was already quite familiar with each other.

During the meal, Chen Liang asked for Hu Li's contact information, as well as Cui Yun's.

The proprietress didn't want it.

Because the landlady has a man.

She has a son.

Back then, the only ways to contact each other were QQ and telephone.

That evening, the proprietress invited Chen Liang to go singing.

Hu Li and Cui Yun also went.

Chen Liang went there happily.

At that time, there were four people gathered together, no, five people.

The proprietress's son also came along.

He was still young then, but he was already a teenager.

Around fourteen or fifteen.

Chen Liang didn't ask.

The five of them took a taxi together and headed towards a karaoke bar.

Actually, the proprietress wasn't running a karaoke bar, but a dance hall.

A folk dance hall.

Fun.

There are a lot of people.

When Chen Liang and his group arrived, Chen Liang was quite surprised.

Because he had never seen it before.

There were no dance halls like this in his hometown, in the places he had lived.

The five people sat together, and Chen Liang talked with them.

There was no dancing.

Just drinking...

During the drinking session, the proprietress had Hu Li and Cui Yun toast Chen Liang.

He said, "Have some manners! How can you be so disrespectful?"

At that time, Hu Li and Cui Yun took turns toasting Chen Liang...

This trip was quite enjoyable.

Chen Liang had a vague feeling that the landlady was interested in him.

Bringing Hu Li and Cui Yun along was just for show.

Her son, however, came forcefully.

The boss's wife's man?

He ignored her.

He probably couldn't control her either.

……

After that dance hall incident, Chen Liang felt he should contact Hu Li and get to know her better.

So, on a windy evening one day...

Chen Liang contacted Hu Li on QQ: Let's meet up and chat.

Hu Li asked: What are you talking about?

Chen Liang: Just chatting for fun.

Hu Li: I'm at work.

Chen Liang: I'm off work.

After a while, Hu Li asked: Why are you treating me like this?

Perhaps she had already noticed Chen Liang's attention towards her.

Perhaps she has already noticed Chen Liang.

Perhaps, during her first meeting with Chen Liang, and in subsequent meetings, she already sensed that something was about to happen between them.

It's just a possibility.

Chen Liang had not asked about this matter.

But Hu Li's reaction was the reaction Chen Liang needed.

Chen Liang: I want to be your friend.

A long time passed.

Hu Li sent a message: Okay, then tomorrow night, after 9:30, after I get off work, let's go to the big river to the west.

Chen Liang knew about the riverbank.

It's not far from here.

It's a scenic area, a newly established one, but there are some trees that look like they're about to grow into mature trees.

Chen Liang: Okay.

……

Chen Liang waited...

……

The next day, after 9:30 p.m., Chen Liang left his residential compound and headed towards Hu Li's restaurant.

When they arrived outside the hotel, Hu Li was already waiting for them.

The restaurant was already closed at this time.

Their place usually closes at 9 pm.

Close the door immediately once no one is there.

9:30 is already considered late.

Hu Li was wearing autumn clothes, her coat open. When the wind blew, she tightened her coat.

Chen Liang came to her side, and Hu Li turned and walked west.

Chen Liang caught up, and the two walked side by side.

They chatted softly...

They chatted casually...

Chen Liang wasn't that hungry, so he didn't say he would sleep with Hu Li immediately.

Chen Liang couldn't rush things with this little girl.

The two arrived at the riverbank and wandered around...

They chatted as well...

This river is very large and wide, with a rapid current...

If Chen Liang used his swimming skills, he felt he wouldn't be able to reach the other side.

It's only this wide.

The water flow is so rapid...

The two walked among the trees.

The low-lying ornamental trees, though short, were enough to block the two people's view.

There is a moon in the sky.

It's very bright.

It allows them to see each other clearly, and to see each other clearly.

The two walked back and forth, and were about to return to the intersection where they had come from.

Chen Liang suddenly stopped.

He stopped, and Hu Li stopped too.

Chen Liang turned around and looked at Hu Li.

"Let me hug you."
