Li Shiya pulled Jiang Cheng to sit at the empty table. After sitting down, Li Shiya habitually took out a finger from the paper tube and wiped the dirty things on the table. Then she held her chin and said to Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng, do you remember when you took me here to eat stinky tofu when we were in school?"
Jiang Cheng replied with a smile, "Of course I remember. I remember that we were both very poor back then. Every day, Mom and Dad would give us five yuan for lunch. Five yuan for me and five yuan for you. Then, the two of us would spend eight yuan to eat two bowls of rice together. With the remaining two yuan, we would run to this food street after school and buy two portions of stinky tofu from the owner of this stall. Then, we would eat it with a smile before going home.
When Li Shiya heard what Jiang Cheng said, her eyes instantly became moist. She didn't expect that Jiang Cheng would still remember this. He actually remembered things from ten years ago so clearly. At that time, they lived very happily. Every day, they went to school together and went home together. Every day at noon, they would either eat lunch together at home or spend money to buy food outside the school.
Looking at Li Shiya's moist eyes, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but blur the corners of his eyes. He thought of the past. Every time he ate at noon, when he was eating, he would find that the food in his bowl had not been reduced. At that time, he was growing and had a big appetite. Every time he ate, Li Shiya would put the delicious food in her bowl for him to eat. Every time, she only ate a little of the vegetables. She would put eggs and meat in his bowl for him.
At the thought of this, Jiang Cheng felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife. He couldn't help but reach out to hold Li Shiya's small hand. He choked and said, "Shiya, I'm sorry!"
Li Shiya pulled out a hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of Jiang Cheng's eyes. She said to him, "No, you didn't let me down. You kept your promise. You came back to see me. Although the ending may be different from what I expected, our beginning is still so beautiful, isn't it?"
"Shiya, I, I, I'm such a jerk!" Jiang Cheng said with self-blame. "No, don't blame yourself.
"No, don't blame yourself. What you did was right. If I were you, I would do the same. They love you wholeheartedly. If you don't treat them well, they will be very sad. Perhaps, they will die of sadness. Do you know that every move of yours concerns our hearts? We worry about you all the time. Every time you disappear, it represents every time we worry about you.
Jiang Cheng, I'm so scared, I'm so scared that one day in the future, you'll suddenly disappear into thin air again and never appear again. "Li Shiya said while crying.
Jiang Cheng knew what Li Shiya was talking about. Since he came back, they hadn't seen each other for three to five days. Every day, he was either busy or on a mission. Moreover, he was often injured. This kind of thing was indeed very worrying for girls.
Jiang Cheng held Li Shiya's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will accompany you in the future. No matter what, I won't let you worry about me anymore!"
Li Shiya nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Well, you must not be so impulsive in the future. When you are outside, you must remember that there are people at home who miss you and miss you!"
Jiang Cheng was silent. After a while, the stall owner put four stinky tofu on the table. He said with a smile, "You two look so familiar. Have you been here before?"
"Yes, boss, you still remember us. When we were young, we often came here to eat stinky tofu. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still selling stinky tofu here. It seems that we are very lucky. After so many years, we can actually still eat your stinky tofu!"
After the boss heard Jiang Cheng's words, he carefully looked at Jiang Cheng and Li Shiya, and then suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I remember, you two are the same pair of young people from before. At that time, you still carried a school bag all day, and you, on the other hand, fought all day and didn't look like a studious child at all. This girl, at that time, was very beautiful, and she was so well-behaved, so her academic performance must be very good. Why, now that so many years have passed, have you two really come together?"
Li Shiya said with a smile, "Yes, we are already together. Today, I specially came here to reminisce about your stinky tofu. I haven't eaten your stinky tofu for a long time!"
The boss was very happy to hear this. He said with a smile, "Ah, that's right. Within a radius of ten miles, it can be said that my stinky tofu is the most authentic and the most delicious. You have come to the right place."
Jiang Cheng didn't take the stall owner's boastful words seriously, but he didn't deny that the stall owner's words were wrong. Within the radius of ten miles, he wasn't the only stall selling stinky tofu. Just on this street alone, there were four or five stinky tofu stalls. However, no matter how much the other stalls shouted, this stall's business was the best.
Li Shiya took out a ten-yuan note from her bag and handed it to the boss. The boss gave two coins to Li Shiya and said with a smile, "You two, have you finished eating? I'll go now!"
Looking at the busy figure of the boss, Jiang Cheng said to Li Shiya with a smile, "Shiya, look, now the price of stinky tofu has increased from one yuan to two yuan. The price of this thing has really increased!"
"It's normal. In the past, we could buy one for one yuan, and we can buy many other things with one yuan. Now, the price of one yuan is only the price of public transportation. Everything else has gone up!"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Hey, you're right. It seems that the price hasn't gone up. There's only one yuan left for the public transportation!"
Li Shiya suddenly thought of something and said, "How about this, after we finish eating stinky tofu, we use the remaining two yuan to take the public transportation to the riverside, okay?"
"Okay, the riverside must be very cool now. We haven't been there for a long time. Then let's eat quickly and take the public transportation!"
"Okay!"
Li Shiya nodded and stuffed a piece of stinky tofu into Jiang Cheng's mouth. Jiang Cheng was startled and almost didn't bite it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and bit it with his mouth. However, his appearance was a bit ugly. Jiang Cheng's head was lowered to the bottom, and his mouth was biting the stinky tofu. The stinky tofu almost fell on his clothes. Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up.
Li Shiya looked at Jiang Cheng's embarrassed appearance and suddenly laughed. She thought of the past. When she fed stinky tofu to Jiang Cheng, he also looked like this. Every time he was scalded, he was scared and dropped the stinky tofu on his clothes.
She saw Jiang Cheng bite the stinky tofu that was about to fall on his clothes, and then he sucked, and the stinky tofu directly went into his mouth. Li Shiya looked at his series of quick reactions and couldn't help but be surprised.
She was a medical student and knew the reaction speed and structure of the human body. In the past, every time she played with Jiang Cheng like this, he didn't have time to react at all, and the stinky tofu would definitely fall on his clothes. But this time, he actually used his mouth to bite the tofu that was about to fall on his clothes. Li Shiya couldn't help but praise, "Jiang Cheng, your reaction speed is really fast!"
Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Of course, I didn't serve in the army for seven years for nothing!"
"Then can you tell me about your things in the barracks? I want to know what you have done in the past seven years! "Li Shiya looked at Jiang Cheng with expectation.
Jiang Cheng thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when we go to the river, but I have to tell you first, there are some confidential things that I can't tell you!"
"Don't worry, I know. I have seen soldiers attack, and I know the discipline of the army. I also know that you signed a lot of confidentiality rules. I won't force you, I just want to know how you are doing."
Jiang Cheng knew that Li Shiya was so reasonable, so he didn't say anything more. The two of them happily finished this unique dinner. Although this dinner was only eight yuan, for Jiang Cheng and Li Shiya, today's dinner was very meaningful. The two of them once again recalled the past, and found their past.
After a few minutes, Li Shiya finally finished the last piece of stinky tofu. She got up and wiped her mouth. She pulled Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Let's go, we'll go to the bus stop in front to take the bus. From here to the river, we can take the No.3 bus!"
"Okay, I remember that we used to take the No.3 bus. I didn't expect that after so many years, we would take the bus together again. It's really worth looking forward to!"
"Isn't it? Now we have a car to walk, and the days of taking the bus are getting further and further away." Li Shiya pursed her lips, as if she was reminiscing the delicious taste of the stinky tofu.
When Jiang Cheng saw Li Shiya licking her lips, he couldn't help but wipe her lips with his hand. He wiped off a small piece of chili on the corner of her mouth, and then said with a smile, "Look, you didn't even wipe your mouth clean, you glutton!"
Li Shiya didn't expect that Jiang Cheng would treat her like this in public. She was immediately embarrassed, and she scolded coquettishly, "Jiang Cheng, you bastard, you're the glutton. I just haven't eaten for a long time, so I ate two more pieces. Hmph, you bastard, hurry up, I want you to carry me!"
Jiang Cheng smiled. He suddenly thought of the days in the past. At that time, Li Shiya wasn't as virtuous as she was now. She would occasionally act coquettishly and ask him to carry her. He didn't expect that today's stinky tofu could actually change her back to the past.
Jiang Cheng happily squatted on the ground, then patted his back, and said with a smile, "Come on, come on, let me weigh you recently to see if you've lost weight!"
