Genius in a Second Remember Love Go? The Internet provides you with exciting novels to read.
Xinxiang was the site of the Battle of Muye and the Battle of Guandu. It was the hometown of Zhang Liang's attack on the Qin Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin's royal robes. It was a place of historical interest.
It was almost noon when the two of them arrived at the Xinxiang train station. Li He asked Zhang Wanting to look after their bags while he squeezed into the ticket hall. Fortunately, there were not many people and they waited at the window for seven or eight minutes.
After buying the tickets, Li He took their bags from Zhang Wanting and said, "It's 2: 30 in the afternoon. It's still early. Let's find a place to eat first. Are you hungry?"
Zhang Wanting and Li He did not have much of a barrier between them anymore. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you there. I know the way."
The two of them walked on the grey street. The buildings on both sides of the street were filled with red slogans.
Occasionally, one or two pedestrians passed by. The women had braided hair and the men were dressed in grey and blue shirts.
The air was filled with the smell of chopped green onions.
Li He stared at the state-owned restaurant opposite him. He was a little absent-minded. He had been to this restaurant many times.
The door of the restaurant was wide open. It was empty inside.
The four round tables were empty. There was not a single customer eating. A waitress was sitting at the counter, eating melon seeds.
Li He looked at the plump waitress. She had fought before.
Her round face was red and her braided hair was hanging down. She kept eating melon seeds. When she saw Li He and Zhang Wanting come in, she only glanced at them. She did not even raise her head.
"Comrade, I want to order." Zhang Wanting said carefully.
The plump waitress rolled her eyes at Zhang Wanting.
Zhang Wanting did not understand. She asked again, "Comrade, what do you have to eat?"
The chubby girl was a little annoyed. She glared at Zhang Wanting, picked up a wooden ruler and knocked on the glass window above the counter.
Zhang Wanting looked over and saw a yellowing and faded price list on the glass window. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Can't you say something?
Enduring his anger and standing a bit further away, Ye Qing looked up at the menu:
Noodle soup
Noodles with egg and gravy, 30 cents a piece
Diced Pork Fried Bean Paste Noodles, One Dollar and Fifty Cents
…
Li He stared at the menu. It took a lot of labor and materials to occupy the store, but it was only selling for 1.30 RMB. It would be impossible in the next few years!
Zhang Wanting had only seen it from afar before and had never come in to eat. She was relieved to see the price. She took out some money from her pocket and put it on the counter. She asked Li He, "What do you want to eat? I'll eat diced meat noodles with soybean paste. "
Li He handed the food stamps to Zhang Wanting and said, "Me too."
Not long after, a loud voice came from the window. "The noodles are ready. Hurry up and bring it over. We're still waiting."
The two didn't care about the attitude. They quickly brought it over and started eating. After all, they only ate two buns in the morning.
Zhang Wanting kept scooping out the noodles and meat from her bowl for Li He. "Eat more. You're a bit skinny."
"I have enough. You eat. I have enough." Li He's heart was filled with sweetness. The feeling of being in love again was just too great. In his past life, the two spent money carefully. From the time they met to the time they got married, they lived similar lives and had similar experiences.
They each earned some money to pay off their family's debts. Every month, they would send money back to their hometown. The two's savings added up was only a few dozen yuan. With the price of goods skyrocketing, money couldn't buy many things. For example, the price of meat was constantly rising. They also needed to eat meat, but they never ate more than half a pound at a time. The two were both tight on money, so they didn't have a comfortable life.
In addition, having a child required a lot of expenses for food. They had to pay for the bus fare, buy some small things at home occasionally, buy daily necessities, and pay for water, electricity, and gas …
Li He liked to read the newspaper. He paid attention to the news and real-time, but he never bought a newspaper. Even the Beijing Times had risen to 50 cents. If he bought a newspaper, it would become a waste paper in half an hour. He had to go to the newspaper stands to read it.
Li He loved to smoke. It always cost him money. He was not addicted to it. At first, he smoked a pack every two days. He tried to quit countless times, but he still had to smoke in the end.
After smoking a lot, the room was full of the smell of smoke. Zhang Wanting hated the smell of smoke.
Li He finally made up his mind to quit smoking.
He bought a pack of cigarettes without Zhang Wanting's knowledge. He had to smoke all of them in three days. He smoked two packs on the first day, three packs on the second day, and four packs on the third day. Then he would faint from the smoke, which was ten times more painful than being drunk.
Out of ten packs of cigarettes, there was only one pack left. Since then, Li He never smoked again. The smell of smoke made him sick.
Later, Zhang Wanting asked him why he suddenly stopped smoking. He said that he had already smoked all the cigarettes in his life, so he didn't smoke anymore. Zhang Wanting's face was full of confusion.
He lived a frugal life, and his days were still tight. Li He thought that if this didn't work, he had to find a way to get a second career. Just like that, Li He went into business in the 1990s. Leaving the system meant that he had thrown away the iron rice bowl and found his own food instead of being given a meal ticket by the organization.
Figuratively speaking, it was like going from a captive animal to a wild animal.
If one were to ask Li He what he liked most about Zhang Wanting, it would undoubtedly be her character. He had never heard her complain in her life. She was not anxious or impatient. She could live a good life, even if it was bad.
Every man hoped that he would meet a woman who dared to stand beside him and face the storm with him in silence.
On the wedding night, whoever fetched water for the other party's feet would be beaten by him for the rest of his life. If he didn't do it occasionally, it would be considered lazy. However, the one who was served could enjoy a lifetime of happiness. Even if he occasionally got beaten by the other party, the other party would be overwhelmed by the favor and be so grateful that they would shed tears.
Li He thought about how good his wife was and felt that it was really worth it. In his busy life, he had never once said "I love you" to her, but his love had never left her.
After the two of them finished eating, they looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. Wait for me at the entrance of the station. I'll go to the stall to buy some biscuits. We'll have some to eat on the train."
After buying the biscuits, the two of them entered the platform. There were not many people at the train station. The real peak period was after the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.
The two of them found their seats effortlessly. Zhang Wanting sat down on it. "Oh my, it's so comfortable this time. Usually, sitting on the train is like fighting."
Li He still put their bags under his feet. "Are you tired? Have a good rest. The train will leave soon."
Zhang Wanting looked around to make sure there was no one around. She hugged Li He's arm and leaned on his shoulder. She said softly, "It's so good to have you."
Li He shuddered all over and looked at Zhang Wanting in confusion. He felt that his wife might have a genetic mutation. She was not so active and timid in her previous life.
It seemed that there was a difference between puppy love and twilight love. At that time, Zhang Wanting was only a 20-year-old child who had not seen much of the world. She was just a simple and strong-willed girl. Li He kissed her forehead painfully. "Don't think about anything in the future. Leave everything to me. I promise I won't let you suffer any grievances. Do you trust me? "
"Li He, you've done so much for me. I'm already satisfied." She covered her mouth with one hand and smiled slightly. She was deep in thought, looking like a little woman who was immersed in happiness.
