My 1979 - Chapter 1638
c1636 talk heart to heart
“Come in first.” Li Lan closed the door. In the darkness, he used the light of his mobile phone screen to find the switch on the porch. He was not disappointed, and the porch light turned on.
“Hey, it’s quite clean.” There were no cobwebs, dust, or garbage as she imagined.
The lights in the yard then came on.
Then there is the living room.
The front yard, the back yard, all the lights were on.
A blaze of lights.
Li Lan twisted his hand twice on the red sandalwood table in the living room, and the mark on his fingertips was particularly obvious. There was a thick layer of dust on his fingertips.
He smiled and said, “It is often cleaned, but it is unoccupied, has no ventilation, and is unpopular. It looks quite uncomfortable.”
Qin Yuanyuan tapped his knuckles on the table and said with a smile, “Harder than marble. I remember that many neighbors used to envy your family. A family of four lives in such a big house.”
Li Lan said, “Yes, my grandmother also lived with us at that time.”
He turned on the faucet above the mop sink, rinsed his hands, and shook the water beads. He couldn’t find anyone to wipe his hands, so he wiped them twice on his pants.
“You are better than I thought.” She couldn’t find the right words for a moment.
“Dirty?” Li Lan asked.
“No,” she said with a smile, “Before I met you, I thought you were a mysophobic, focused on the quality of life, unsmiling, and strict.”
Li Lan smiled and said, “You are wrong. What I told you is the opposite. I am actually a carefree person who doesn’t care about anything.”
“So, you lack that sense of ritual?” she asked with a smile.
Li Lan said, “The lower you are, the more you need a sense of ritual to improve yourself. Just live happily and be happy as you please. I don’t like people telling me how to make tea, eat Western food, smoke cigars, or even… Why are you drinking red wine?
So, without fear of making you laugh, I still don’t know the correct way to eat Western food. ”
He has always believed in his father’s words: I didn’t earn you such a large sum of money so that you can learn the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
I just want them to be free to do whatever they want.
If he is influential enough and powerful enough, his behavior becomes the standard.
No matter what he says or does, he is gentleman enough.
Adding Sprite to Erguotou will make other people think it is very tasteful.
“Free?” she asked with a smile.
He nodded and said, “Yes, no one can judge me by his standards.”
“The moon is very full tonight.” She smiled.
“Yes, the moon is very round tonight.” Li Lan asked with a smile, “Do you still want to drink?”
“Have it?”
He pulled out the tie from his pocket and dusted it on the chair, then put it back into his pocket and said with a smile, “Sit here and wait for me for five minutes.”
Under Qin Yuanyuan’s gaze, he headed towards the rockery.
Qin Yuanyuan waited for a while, and finally couldn’t hold back his temper and followed him.
Li Lan held the wine bottle in one hand and held the ladder in the other, climbing from the hole to the ground.
When Qin Yuanyuan arrived, he had already exposed his head from the hole. She took the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile, “Is this your cellar?”
“I was just trying my luck. I didn’t expect it to happen.” Li Lan’s body was covered with dust. After coming out of the cave, he took off his shirt, bare arms, stretched it out, and shook it twice.
“Let’s sit in the little pavilion over there.” She took the wine, walked on the narrow path, crossed the pond, stood under the pavilion, and then asked, “Is there a light here?”
“Yes, as long as you are not afraid of mosquitoes.” Li Lan walked over and turned on the light on the back of a pillar. The high-power incandescent lamp illuminated the surroundings like daylight. After a while, moths and mosquitoes swarmed towards the light bulb. .
“I’m afraid that my blood supply won’t be enough and I’ll let them down.” Qin Yuanyuan turned off the light at the switch position.
Li Lan smiled and said, “Let’s go, let’s drink somewhere else. It’s really hard to sit here.”
He swatted several mosquitoes to death in a row.
He turned off the lights in the front, backyard, and living room again, left the house, and locked the door.
There were many people taking pictures of the red lacquer door at the door. He couldn’t find a chance to put the key back to its original position, so he simply put it in his pocket.
Qin Yuanyuan led the way and walked in front.
The dim street light stretched her shadow very long. She suddenly turned around and asked, “Are there any girls among your opponents? I’m talking about Go.”
“Yes.” Li Lan smiled and nodded.
“Who is the most beautiful?” she asked.
“Umezawa Yukari.” He answered without hesitation.
“Then you haven’t pursued her?” she asked curiously.
“No.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid her husband will kill me.”
“Haha.” She laughed.
“How about this one?” Li Lan pointed to a barbecue stall.
“That’s it.” Qin Yuanyuan took an empty seat and sat down, then said to the boss, “Four skewers of mutton, one eggplant, one tiger skin green pepper, two scallops, what do you want to eat?”
“I’ll get it myself.” Li Lan randomly picked up a few on the case and handed them to the barbecue stall owner.
“After two meals in a while, will it be too delicious?” she asked with a smile.
“Besides eating, is there anything else to do in the summer?” He asked, opened the white wine, shook it, picked up the disposable cup on the table, poured half a cup each, pushed it to her and said, “You try your best. , I don’t know how much liquor you drink.”
“At most, I’ll be done with this, and then we’ll drink beer.” She took a sip and said with a smile, “It’s sweet, not bad. Well, smoking will be banned in the whole city soon, and the outdoor barbecue stalls will probably have to I can’t see you anymore, so cherish your last moments and have a drink.”
“Cheers.” Li Lan drank half of the drink and then said, “You are quite well informed.”
“I overheard my mother say that.”
“Auntie is very busy.” Li Lan then remembered that Qin Yuanhua’s mother was from the municipal party committee, and his grandfather and grandmother were also veteran cadres.
“Oh, I’m planning to retire in one month.” She said with a smile, “Then, I will accompany her on a trip. I forgot to ask, what did you study in college? Isn’t it also Go?”
“Computer.” Li Lan sealed the liquor, opened the beer, and placed a bottle in front of each other. “I really know how to repair computers.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to repair my computer.” After rinsing the glass of liquor with beer, he refilled it with beer.
“What about you?” Li Lan couldn’t find a suitable topic for a while.
“I used to like music, so I applied to Berkeley, where I could play the piano. Then I didn’t need a scholarship and paid the tuition, so I could go there. Anyway, they like to recruit Chinese people.” She said unhurriedly, “Later, after I applied, I didn’t get it. go.”
“Why?” Li Lan asked curiously.
“Because my biological father told me that if I want to be an actor in my life, he supports me to go to Berkeley.” She said with a wry smile, “In his eyes, music and acting are all personal hobbies. , can’t be regarded as a regular job.”
“Oh” Li Lan was curious about why she listened to his father, because the relationship between the two was not good.
“It’s nothing, I just don’t want him to look down on my mother and let her bear the stigma of not being able to educate her.”
