My 1979 - Chapter 1656
c1654 roundabout way
“Can you stop coughing with me?” Li Lan was really impatient.
If the other party directly said that he didn’t know him, even if it was to fool him, he would admit it. But more than two hours passed, and he didn’t answer the phone, didn’t reply to the text message, and didn’t even make a sound.
He was not happy.
It was obvious that he was not taking him seriously!
If he doesn’t have the temper to do this kind of thing, then he is really a fool.
“It really doesn’t mean that.” Jiang Wei was really incapable of making excuses. No matter how stupid he was, he would never pass the kudzu to the Li family. He scratched his head anxiously.
He has just turned 40, and half of his hair is already missing. The back of his head is also very tight and long, and he is powerless to support the front.
But even so, he didn’t learn to shave off his bald head. He didn’t have many bald hair in the first place. If he shaved his head, he would be really bald.
For someone like him, he can still be saved if he occasionally encounters a more powerful teacher Tony.
There is a tuft of beard on his plump double chin, which trembles with his brows.
“Then what do you mean?” Li Lan stared at him and asked, “At least tell me something. What do you mean by not answering my phone?”
He didn’t curse because he was still well-educated.
Jiang Wei sighed and said, “I’ll let the driver drive your car, and we’ll find a place to go and have a few drinks.”
After turning around and closing the yard door again, he called his driver and got into Li Lan’s car.
Li Lan sat side by side with him in the back row, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Where can I go so that you can tell me more easily?”
Jiang Wei said, “There’s a food stall in front of us, let’s have a good chat.”
The car turned three intersections and finally stopped at a busy commercial street.
Jiang Wei walked in front and took him into a restaurant. The waiter ignored the greetings and went straight to find a private room by himself, opened the door and went in.
After sitting down, I took the menu and randomly ordered food and drinks.
After finishing his two bottles of beer, he said to Li Lan, who was holding his arms, “I told you, you can’t betray me, right?”
The hand holding the cup became tighter and tighter.
Li Lan smiled, picked up the beer on the table, filled the cup, and after finishing a sip, he said, “Uncle, you watched me grow up. You don’t know what my character is. I’m not a talkative person.”
Jiang Wei was not willing to say it at all, but he had to say it because he knew Li Lan so well.
Up to a certain level, Li Lan would never use words to manipulate him, let alone say cruel words like “fighting cough”.
If he hesitated any longer, the two of them would really become enemies.
After finishing the wine in the glass and pressing it on the table, he gritted his teeth and said, “You really want to know who the person in the photo is, right? In fact, that was your dad’s first love.”
“First love?” Li Lan almost spit out the wine in his mouth. Inexplicably, Li Lan smiled.
His expression was beyond Jiang Wei’s expectation. There was no surprise or anger.
“Yeah, your dad had talked about someone before he met your mom, and it was the one with this photo.” Jiang Wei continued, “It’s been almost thirty years. I didn’t expect to come back now, so when I saw that photo, I was worried. I’m scared to death, if you ask me, I don’t even dare to tell you.”
“What era are you in?” Li Lan laughed angrily at him, “Your era may have been more closed and traditional, but look at it now, who hasn’t had a girlfriend?”
“You don’t.” Jiang Wei revealed his secrets without caring at this moment.
I was actually relieved in my heart, because he had just talked too much and was frightened.
Li Lan blushed and said, “Don’t get involved with me. People are different. In fact, no matter what, having an ex-girlfriend is nothing at all. You must be making too much fuss.”
Moreover, it was too stingy to think of my mother. If she really knew about it, it wouldn’t be a big deal. ”
“It’s really not a big deal.” Jiang Wei could only agree.
“But…” Li Lan suddenly thought of his mother’s lost state again, “Is my mother familiar with her?”
“They should be acquaintances.” Jiang Wei naturally couldn’t tell because your father was broken up in love, so your mother had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, these words hurt people’s face. Unless they want to commit suicide, otherwise these words will only rot in their stomachs.
“Having said it this far, it would be a bit unethical to talk about it in half, right?” Li Lan poured the wine for him personally.
Jiang Wei said, “Let’s put it this way. Actually, your mother and your father’s first love cannot be said to be strangers, but if you want to say they are familiar, they cannot be said to be familiar. In other words, what is it, the house in Wang’er Mountain where you live now? , where your dad and his family used to live.”
“Living together without being married?” Seeing Jiang Wei nod, Li Lan said with a smile, “I can’t tell, you are quite open-minded.”
Jiang Wei said, “Be specific, I really don’t know. Your family hadn’t moved to Sanmiao Street at that time, and I didn’t know you yet. If you ask me again, I really don’t know.”
Li Lan knew that what he was telling the truth, thought for a while and said, “Then I won’t hide it from you. She came back and didn’t know why she was sneaking around Wang’er Mountain. My mother saw her and suffered from heat stroke that night.”
He didn’t understand why my mother had such a big reaction. It was just a first love.
What’s more, his mother has always been a very generous person, so she is not such a petty person.
Here comes the assignment.
Jiang Wei drank a glass of wine to hide his uneasiness.
He said, “Your dad is a man with deep roots of love. We all know him, so the more we know him, the more afraid he will be.”
“That’s it?” Li Lan said with a smile, “We are an old couple, how can we be afraid that my dad will fall in love with someone else?”
Not sure.
Jiang Wei murmured to himself. He still remembered Li Laoer’s dejected appearance.
The most important thing is that because of a broken pot, he was abused by Li Laoer for many years.
What kind of hatred or grudge?
He would still be a child at that time!
“What do I mean? When you first asked me, I didn’t dare to tell you,” Jiang Wei weighed his words, and then continued, “I was just afraid that you would tell your mother. What kind of news is it? It’s not a matter, but it’s an issue. Do you think that at my age and baldness, am I still fit to take such a big blame?”
“Don’t worry, I pretend not to know.” Li Lan agreed.
Jiang Wei said, “That’s good. It’s not that I’m timid. It’s just that your dad’s temper can easily involve others. Besides, this is also a family matter in your family. I’ll just be an outsider.”
“I promise not to tell.” Li Lan emphasized again.
Jiang Wei continued, “Your little sister is still in high school and not very young. Just tell me, if something happens to me…”
“Uncle, you’re busy, I’m leaving.” Li Lan shook his head and stood up, not wanting to listen to his noise anymore.
“Are you leaving now?” Jiang Wei walked him to the door and said to his driver, “You must send Mr. Li back there.”
He watched the car go away before returning home in the opposite direction.
