Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 37

What is it like to like someone?Shao Han didn't know it before, but now he knows it clearly, that is, when he saw her, he was overjoyed, and his heart was sweeter than eating honey; Other people often talk distractedly, sit alone and often giggle; toss and turn at night and can't fall asleep, and start dreaming when I finally fall asleep, and the dream is full of her figure...

Shao Han came to the hotel early in the morning and checked the small warehouse next to the kitchen, but unfortunately, nothing was found.After about 08:30, employees came to work one after another. Shao Han walked into his small office, but every 10 minutes he would go to the door and look around.

After seeing this, many waiters guessed behind their backs whether their boss was waiting for a girl. Only Ma Tao didn't know that Shao Han was waiting for customers to come to his door. As another shareholder of Jiangnan Water Town, Ma Tao felt deeply ashamed and tried his best. Patted Shao Han's shoulder calmly, and said: "Our restaurant does not serve breakfast, and there will be no customers coming at this time, you should go back to the office! If you are worried, I will stay here and wait... Actually, this The business has been pretty good for a few days, and there are no empty seats in the evening. Although the business at noon is not as good as in the evening, it is also because the weather is too hot, and some customers are too lazy to go out to eat, so don't put too much pressure..."

Shao Han felt speechless, waved his hand, and wanted to send this bastard away, but Ma Tao was a very loyal person, no matter how Shao Han chased him, he would not listen to him, like a follower, Shao Han Wherever he went, he followed wherever he went, staying close to each other.

Shao Han was so entangled by this bastard that he was one head and two big. At around ten o'clock, he finally waited for Zhang Lingen, but the one who came with him was not Zhang Xiuqing, but a thin, honest-looking man who was about the same age as Zhang Xiuqing. Quite a rural boy.Shao Han suddenly felt that the whole person was not well. Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure, and asked in a very casual tone: "Why didn't Zhang Xiuqing come today? Is he feeling unwell?"

Zhang Lingen saw two small bosses from Jiangnan water village standing at the gate from a long distance away, thinking that they were going to welcome some important guest, he had no extra thoughts, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he said vaguely: " No... just a little tired, just rest for a few days!"

Shao Han saw right away that Zhang Lingen was lying, and his heart sank.After all, he was young, and after all, it was the first time he liked a girl, so how could he not worry about gains and losses?Shao Han thought that Zhang Lingen must have sensed his thoughts, so he let Zhang Xiuqing stay at home and prevented him from getting in touch with her. He never dreamed that Zhang Lingen was not defending himself, but Ma Tao who was standing beside him at the moment.

Shi Dongsheng had heard about the name of Jiangnan Water Town long ago on the road, and now seeing the real face with his own eyes, his eyes couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

As a senior second-hand guy, Ma Tao is not without merits. No, he asked the question Shao Han desperately wanted to know: "Hey, what's your name? Are you a relative of Zhang Xiuqing's family?"

As a native countryman, Shi Dongsheng has an inexplicable awe of the city people. Hearing Ma Tao's question, he immediately hangs his hands down and puts his legs together. Like a primary school student answering a teacher's question, he lowers his head and answers nervously. : "My name is Shi Dongsheng. I live in the same village as Xiuqing. I'm not a relative, but a classmate..."

Ma Tao felt that Shi Dongsheng was too nervous, so he introduced himself with a smile: "Actually, everyone is not an outsider. My name is Ma Tao, and I am Zhang Xiuqing's alumni..."

Shao Han gritted his molars after hearing this!Zhang Xiuqing, you attractive woman, how many male classmates do you have?How do you beat one away and another one comes?Ma Tao, you are a guy with elbows out, why are you not an outsider to anyone, do you still want to be my brother?

Throughout the morning, Shao Han has been absent-minded, always feeling as if something is about to be lost, restless, restless, unable to lift up his energy to do anything.After finally staying up until noon, Ma Tao came over to ask him to eat. He walked into the internal dining room, took a few bites at random, and ate a bowl of frozen mung bean soup. It was about alternating hot and cold, and he felt a faint stomachache. When he returned to the office, what? He couldn't sit down either, so after going back and forth more than ten times, he went out to find Ma Tao and asked him to borrow the motorcycle keys.

Ma Tao looked at the sun outside and hesitated: "It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but it's such a hot day, where are you going?"

Since the supper stalls would not open until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Han asked Zhang Lingen and Shi Dongsheng to rest in the restaurant, so as not to have to go back and forth on the road. Now that they were both next to each other, Shao Han had the nerve to say that he wanted to see Zhang Xiuqing.He didn't want to lie, so he didn't answer at all. He reached into Ma Tao's trouser pocket, took out the car keys, turned around and left.

Ma Tao shouted behind him: "Hey, you just learned to drive a motorcycle not long ago, drive slowly on the road..."

Without looking back, Shao Han waved the hand holding the key to show that he knew.

Despite Ma Tao's repeated care, Shao Han still drove the motorcycle very fast, and he drove to Xindong Village in only 15 minutes.Looking at the village surrounded by green water and shaded by trees in front of him, thinking that he would see Zhang Xiuqing soon, Shao Han felt his heart beating hard, so he hurriedly slowed down the car, ready to ask someone for directions.

Motorcycles are a luxury these days, only rich people can afford them, and you can’t see them in the countryside. Many adults and children ran out to watch the noise when they heard the roar. A little boy about seven or eight years old even ran to his side.Shao Han slammed on the brakes, and asked with a pleasant face, "Hello, little brother, do you know where Zhang Xiuqing's house is?"

The little boy was a little timid, and he couldn't speak clearly.A young man next to him pointed to the east side and said, "Her house is at the east end of the village. There are five wild bayberry trees in front of the house and a row of hibiscus fences behind the house. You can drive along the river bank to find her house." .”

Shao Han took out an unopened pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, and threw it directly to the young man: "Brother, thank you very much, I invite you to smoke!"

The young man took the cigarette, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.You know, in the era when coupons were required for everything, a pack of Daqianmen cost [-] cents, and coupons were required to buy it. I heard that the production of cigarette factories has increased significantly this year, and cigarette tickets have been cancelled. I bought it, but the price of cigarettes has also risen, and a pack is sold for [-] cents.

The eyes of the villagers who saw this scene were all red. Many of them had admired Daqianmen for a long time, and they had been looking for a chance to smoke a free cigarette and taste what it was like. Unexpectedly, that kid Wang Qimao was just After showing someone the way, I got a pack of cigarettes. Why didn't I seize such a good opportunity?

The smokers rushed forward, surrounded Wang Qimao, politely stretched out their hands to beg, and unceremoniously grabbed them. For a while, there was a lot of excitement.

Just as Shao Han was about to let go of the brakes and go on his way, a rather wretched-looking middle-aged man stood under a big willow tree and muttered deliberately: "Why are there so many people looking for Xiuqing today?"

Shao Han's ears were sharp, and he listened attentively, not to mention that this middle-aged man had purposely muttered to him in order to earn some money for travel expenses.

As long as it has something to do with Zhang Xiuqing, Shao Han is very sensitive no matter whether it is a person or an event, and asked, "Uncle, may I ask who else is looking for Zhang Xiuqing today?"

This person was the middle-aged man who brought Shen Anlin to Zhang Xiuqing's house. His name was Zhang Liumao. He was idle in the village and had a very bad reputation.He described Shen Anlin's features in detail, and added a sentence at the end: "That young man came by bicycle. He claimed to be Xiuqing's classmate, and he came to send invitations. Xiuqing looked very bad when he saw him." , saying that I don’t know him well, it’s inconvenient to invite him into the house, and let him put down the invitation and go back immediately..."

As soon as Shao Han heard that there was an injury on his chin, he immediately guessed that it was Shen Anlin, and he immediately became worried. He quickly put his hand into the other pocket, took out a bag of big front doors, and threw it to Zhang Liumao: "Thank you..." The voice did not finish Fall, the motorcycle has gone.

This time, there were no smokers around to rob him, so one can imagine the popularity and character of this person.Zhang Liumao didn't think so, and rushed home quickly, fearing that they would snatch the cigarettes if he was too late.

Just at this time, Zhang Xiaofeng came back from delivering food to his mother and sister, passing by the place where Shao Han asked for directions, Sanmei Shen immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Xiaofeng, hurry home, your eldest brother-in-law is here..."

Zhang Xiaofeng was blushing: "Don't talk nonsense, my elder sister is not engaged yet!"

Sanmei Shen said nonchalantly: "It will be ordered in a few days. My eyes will never make a mistake. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Zhang Xiaofeng got up a little uncertain, and hurried home quickly.

Two legs are naturally not as fast as two wheels. At this time, Shao Han had already rushed to Zhang's house, looked at the closed courtyard door, and was about to knock on the door, when he heard a puppy screaming "Aww" from inside. sound, and other unusual sounds... Reminiscent of the news that the villagers told him that Shen Anlin had come, Shao Han's heart suddenly rose, and he stretched out his hand to push it. He didn't push it away, and without any hesitation, he turned over A courtyard wall as high as a person.

Entering the courtyard, Shao Han heard it more clearly. Zhang Xiuqing's cries, Shen Anlin's hideous laughter, and the puppy's screams all intertwined and formed a reminder song.Shao Han picked up the pole on the ground, quickly and silently rushed into the small room on the west side, rushed behind Shen Anlin, aimed at the back of his head, and was about to hit him hard, when Zhang Xiuqing, who was facing the door, looked straight at him. Hastily yelled: "Don't hit there..."

Shao Han had already lifted the pole, so he had to change direction halfway.Just as Shen Anlin took off his shirt and was about to take off his pants, when he heard Zhang Xiuqing's cry, he immediately realized that someone had broken in, and hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't dodge it. , but it was enough for him, and he couldn't move his entire right arm.
