Chapter 276 The shadow of the tree, the name of the person
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and also since Ye Chenyu, he has been very busy, doing a lot of things, and participating in many historical events, so as Liu Changan in this life, he plans to take a break and be an ordinary person who actively participates in the construction of a socialist country and realizes national rejuvenation.
People are quietly waiting for the breakthrough of science and technology.
The lifestyle changes in recent years have been earth-shaking, but they are not the "leap" Liu Changan expected.
Since he is an ordinary Liu Changan, the girlfriend he needs is a beautiful girl like An Nuan, who is beautiful and cute and can definitely meet all the expectations of a man for a girlfriend.
This is fate, some people will always lose what they want in the end, but for some people, what they want will appear at the right time when they need it.
When he was a freshman in high school, two beautiful girls appeared in front of Liu Changan at the same time, An Nuan and Bai Hui.
They are all beautiful girls, invincible in their youth, exuding the kind of bouncing energy all over their bodies. They always look so cute that if you make her laugh, she will tremble like a flower branch, just like a
The bees came over and gently stepped on the stamens, spreading the petals and spraying out the fragrance accumulated since they grew. You will be intoxicated by the smell.
Liu Changan took a few tickets to the comic show and recalled his high school life. He was very sure that whether it was An Nuan or Bai Hui, their bust sizes had grown slowly from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. It was just that Bai Hui had a better foundation, so he further discussed with An Nuan.
Nuan opened the distance.
When I was thinking about fat, I suddenly saw Qin Yanan, the king of rational use of fat. She probably just got off work and saw Liu Changan from a distance. She didn't come over to say hello. She just stood there and looked at him, waiting for Liu Changan to see him too.
When he met his eyes, she glared at him with blushing cheeks, then turned and walked away.
Women are really contradictory. If they really feel ashamed, the best way to deal with it is to maintain a tacit agreement with the other party and never mention it. After a few days, the feeling of shame will naturally fade away, but she just did something unusual.
The way he looked, wasn't this reminding him of what happened?
madness.
Liu Changan had long forgotten, so he waved as usual, regardless of whether she could see it or not, and then walked home.
He bought a box of charcoal from the grocery store in the vegetable market. Originally, he could make this by himself, but considering the cost of making it, it was not easy to find suitable materials for making charcoal, so he bought a box directly.
Liu Changan went home with charcoal in his arms, and met Lu Sien squatting motionless at the gate of the community. This dog did not always stay in the kennel or near the sycamore tree. Just like Zhou Dongdong when he was not in school, he was just there.
Running around the neighborhood.
Lu Si'en squatted here because he was praised by the elderly in the community. They believed that such a powerful dog squatting at the entrance of the community enhanced the momentum of the community and could deter thieves.
Seeing Liu Changan, Lu Sien followed Liu Changan home.
There was no card game under the vines. Liu Changan saw Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong under the sycamore tree.
There were two people, one big and one small, surrounding the small stove. There were a few eggs placed on the edge of the small stove.
In the past, when people mainly used briquette stoves, this was a common way to eat eggs. Wrap the eggs in paper, soak the paper with water, and bake them next to the stove. The cooked eggs in this way are often fragrant. Now there are also
People push ovens on the street and sell eggs, corn, sweet potatoes and the like baked in this way.
Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong sat around the small stove, looking attentively at their baked eggs.
"You can still do this?" Liu Changan looked at Shangguan Dandan with some surprise.
Shangguan Dandan pointed at Zhou Dongdong.
Zhou Dongdong raised his hand, indicating that it was indeed a smart kid who did it.
"Where did the eggs come from?" Liu Changan asked casually. There happened to be no eggs upstairs and downstairs, so he hadn't gone to buy them yet.
"Old Mrs. Liu lost ten yuan to me. She said she didn't bring any money, so she went back and gave me these eggs." Shangguan Dandan said without paying much attention, although after calculating it three times, she was sure that Mrs. Liu had some.
Cheap.
Old Mrs. Liu often paid her bills with eggs, vegetables and the like, and Liu Changan had eaten a lot of her local eggs in this way.
"Did you just eat roasted sweet potatoes?" Liu Changan reached out and wiped the corners of Zhou Dongdong's mouth. The big one and the small one actually had some sweet potatoes on the corners of their mouths, and there was still some black ash on Zhou Dongdong's face.
Zhou Dongdong stood up quickly, ran to the big stove, scratched with a stick for a while, found a gray roasted sweet potato and handed it to Liu Changan.
Liu Changan looked at the dirty roasted sweet potato, and then looked at Zhou Dongdong with an expression that looked like he was offering a treasure. He was really embarrassed.
"Why did you put it there?" This is the roasted sweet potato that Zhou Dongdong left for Liu Changan. The problem is that when the big stove is burned, the ashes can indeed keep warm, but there is no fire!
"I originally wanted to put it on the small stove, but I was afraid that it would suddenly disappear, so I hid it there." Zhou Dongdong certainly had his own reasons.
"Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Sometimes I don't even remember whether I ate it or not, and then the food disappears. My mother says I ate it." Zhou Dongdong said sadly. Sometimes some delicious food disappears quickly. Zhou Dongdong said sadly.
She even felt that she didn't eat much, but her mother always sent her pictures of her eating so much, which was really strange.
"That's it." Liu Changan took it, peeled it off, pinched it and ate it... What's more embarrassing is that it's very difficult to eat something like roasted sweet potato without it sticking to your lips or having the sweet potato on your lips.
After all, even Shangguan Dandan, who is so skilled at speaking, speaking and lip-synching, still stains his mouth and face when he eats it.
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Liu Changan began to dig a hole in the ground.
Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong were still sitting next to the small stove, looking at their baked eggs and watching Liu Changan dig a hole.
Liu Changan dug a pit thirty centimeters deep, thirty centimeters wide and ninety centimeters long, and laid broken red bricks and pebbles at the bottom.
Zhou Dongdong picked up the pebbles when he was playing in the river sand. Carrying a pile of stones in his schoolbag is a common thing for children.
"We are having barbecue tonight." Liu Changan made two racks on the left and right sides of the pit, and a simple barbecue equipment was completed. By the way, he called Zhou Shuling and asked her to come back later to have barbecue. After all, this barbecue is not freshly baked and eaten.
, then it doesn’t smell like barbecue.
Zhou Shuling said she would bring beer back for him to drink, and Liu Changan agreed. After all, the box of Wuliangye he had at home was more suitable for food and wine, and barbecue went better with beer.
Liu Changan went to dig out the buried goose skeleton again. After accumulating it for such a long time, there were many fat and big centipedes inside.
"Why are the centipedes around here so big?" Shangguan Dandan asked strangely. One time, Liu Changan didn't send little hens to the carriage, but centipedes.
"Wherever I am, I will nourish the soil and water there. I haven't seen this community. Except for the time when you blindly sucked people's blood, don't the old men and women here rarely get sick? Even if they do, they will get better soon.
Centipedes are particularly good at absorbing the essence of the world, the sun and the moon. People like me are also what they yearn for, so the centipedes here are plentiful, fat and delicious." Liu Changan did some popular science.
"There are so many centipedes, they are fat and delicious!" Zhou Dongdong grasped the key point and went to get a bag and asked Liu Changan to pack all the centipedes.
"I didn't mean it." Shangguan Dandan said softly.
Liu Changan didn't mean to say what she meant.
Zhou Dongdong ran upstairs first, rummaged around the house for a while, found a box of red pills, took them down, and said happily to Liu Changan: "Fortunately, I found my mother's antidote, so we won't
poisoned!"
Zhou Dongdong recalled with lingering fear the last time he ate a centipede, when Brother Changan told him to go back and wait to die and be a smart kid in the next life. Fortunately, his mother detoxified him.
"That's great." Liu Changan ate a candy and gave another to Shangguan Dandan.
Shangguan held it in his mouth, and swept the sugar pill back and forth with his tongue, making the whole mouth sweet. Then he rolled his tongue and swallowed the sugar pill into his throat.
Zhou Dongdong ate one pill, feeling a little worried, so he ate two more pills, so that he would accidentally eat more centipedes and be poisoned without dying.
Liu Changan went to wash the centipedes and peel them off, then went upstairs and brought down a wild boar leg. Such a huge wild boar leg should taste the same even to the three heroes and their daughter-in-law, who is very good at not wasting it.
Enough.
After a while, Zhou Shuling came back with a supermarket shopping cart and a cart of beer.
Liu Changan saw beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her collar was loosened and pulled a little messily, revealing some of the white skin of her breasts. He didn't know why this weak and slender woman wanted to do this all at once.
I bought so much beer and didn’t know how to call someone to pick it up.
"I'm familiar with someone from the supermarket. I borrowed a shopping cart when I came back. I met an old man in his seventies on the way. He helped me when I went up the steps. He is getting stronger with age and has great strength, but I'm a little worried about him.
Fortunately, I didn't fall or break something." Zhou Shuling fanned the cool breeze with her hands and said with some regret, "People just can't get used to it easily. You see, I used to push such a big breakfast cart up and downhill by myself.
There’s no problem, pushing a shopping cart now takes a lot of effort.”
"Why did you buy so much beer?" Liu Chang'an asked, how long did you have to drink it?
"Isn't this a discount? Buy one get one free. I think the production date is okay, but it will take two months to expire." Zhou Shuling is a person who knows how to live.
"Okay, then you should drink more yourself." Liu Changan knew that she bought this beer for him to drink, and she didn't drink it often herself, but her drinking capacity was tolerable, and she wasn't the kind of person who drank three glasses of beer.
of.
Liu Changan opened a can and handed it to Zhou Dongdong. Zhou Dongdong licked the beer foam in his mouth. He frowned and trembled. He rolled down from the stool and had a hard time getting up. She was not the first
I drank beer once, but I just couldn’t figure out why adults like drinking so much, but children just can’t get used to it?
At first I was not used to drinking it, and I cried a lot. Now I don’t cry anymore, but I just try it unwillingly, thinking that maybe you will suddenly grow up and become an adult and you can drink it.
"Do you want it?" Liu Changan opened another can and handed it to Shangguan Dandan.
Shangguan Dandan glanced at Zhou Dongdong and shook her head hesitantly. She didn't want to drink this and roll to the ground, so she poured the effervescent water herself and drank it with Zhou Dongdong.
Zhou Shuling took it, frowned and drank half of it in one breath. Although she didn't like beer, she couldn't waste it after buying it.
Liu Changan started roasting wild boar legs and centipede meat, and prepared dipping sauce. The four of them gathered around the fire pit and ate with oily mouthfuls. Only Shangguan Dandan avoided eating greasy food.
After finishing the barbecue and cleaning up together, they all sat under the plane tree to rest. Liu Changan looked at Shangguan Dandan who was still sitting next to the small stove and felt that something was wrong.
"What are you looking at me for?" Shangguan Dandan looked at Liu Changan suspiciously. He must have wanted to cause trouble for him again, so he held the thermos pot in his arms.
"I noticed that you had been sitting there since I came back, and you didn't move until we finished eating." Liu Changan came to his senses. Why did he think Shangguan Dandan was a point of disharmony? Because he and Zhou Dong
Dong has been doing barbecue. Although Zhou Dongdong is usually the one who makes trouble, she showed her subjective initiative. Zhou Shuling even pushed back a shopping cart of beer, made dipping sauce and put away the dishes. Only Shangguan Dandan was the one.
Sitting there doing nothing, like a Bodhisattva.
"I moved the small stool from there to here." Shangguan Dandan pointed to the distance between the original small stove and the pit dug by Liu Changan.
How can this be called untouched? Shangguan Dandan stood up and took two steps back and forth. It was obviously so far away.
Liu Changan also nodded and said nothing because it was useless.
He also somewhat understood why Shangguan Dandan could stay in the coffin for so long without coming out. It turned out that she really wasn't willing to move.
So Liu Changan wanted to take her around. He led Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong to Baolong Center with Zhou Shuling. Zhou Shuling also had to go to the store to have a look and return the shopping cart to the supermarket.
"I want to hold your finger!" Zhou Dongdong ran a few steps and couldn't keep up with Brother Chang'an's footsteps, so he shouted.
Liu Changan put his hands behind his back, hooked his little finger, and Zhou Dongdong caught it.
Shangguan Dandan glanced at it and grabbed Liu Changan's other hand. His hand was clenched into a fist. Shangguan Dantan opened his fingers one by one, and then also grabbed the little finger.
Zhou Shuling looks a little want to laugh, Liu Changan is obviously a young man, but whether he is bringing Shangguan Dandan or Zhou Dongdong, he is like a father taking care of a child... It is an objective feeling that Zhou Shuling does not want Liu Changan to be
Zhou Dongdong’s father, who would think of such an outlandish thing?
"Why are you laughing? Do you want to pull my clothes from behind?" Liu Changan said to Zhou Shuling.
"I don't want it, I'm not a child." Zhou Shuling was pushing the shopping cart and didn't want to play with the children.
Lu Si'en caught up with him and ran to the gate of the community to watch his owners leave. He stretched his legs, opened his mouth and roared a few times, then ran back a little further and squatted at the gate of the community.
Arriving at Baolong Center, Zhou Shuling pushed the shopping cart in. Liu Changan did not go in and wander around. Men generally have a strong purpose when shopping, otherwise they would not easily look around with interest in the mall without knowing what to buy.
...except for the air conditioning.
He pulled out two fingers and held them for a while, feeling that his whole little finger was warm.
"Brother Chang'an, let's go play trampoline and pinball world together!" Zhou Dongdong suggested.
"You guys go ahead." Liu Changan is an adult, so why would he be interested in playing amusement facilities like this for children?
"But we don't have money." Zhou Dongdong rummaged through his pockets, "Mom said we can play once a week."
Liu Changan just wanted to take out the money and give it to Shangguan Dandan, but when he glanced at Shangguan Dandan, he found that she was watching him take out the money. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, because if he gave Shangguan Dandan 50 yuan, she might
If you fool Zhou Dongdong into buying food for 20 yuan, Zhou Dongdong will happily forget about the trampoline and pinball world, and then Shangguan Dandan will probably spend 30 yuan to buy effervescent tablets.
So Liu Changan took the two of them to the children's play center on the first floor of the shopping mall, and paid for them to play here... Although Shangguan Dandan is no longer a child, it is normal for a rare and strange little old lady to be addicted to modern entertainment facilities.
Things that modern children play with are of course very rare for the ancients to play with occasionally.
Liu Changan sent a message to Zhou Shuling, saying that if he had not come back to the children's play center to pick up the people when she closed the store, he would ask her to pick up the two people, and then he went to wander on the street in a relaxed manner.
As autumn deepens and then winter approaches, more and more people wear short leather pants paired with stockings and long boots. Recently, stalls selling balloons and exchanging dolls have gradually become popular in Junsha. In the middle of the night, when the urban management team is off duty and no longer patrolling, this
There are many stalls like this on the pedestrian street that has been bustling for more than 20 years in Tiaojunsha. Now the stall owners are taking some things and placing them in their respective places, occupying the space first.
Liu Changan felt that he could show off his talents, but he couldn't wait until then to play, so he played for a while at the claw machine in the inner street.
Just after picking up five dolls, Liu Changan took out his mobile phone and was about to exchange coins when Bai Hui called and asked if he was at home, saying that he had something to ask him for help.
A soft-spoken man who eats people but is short-handed when taking advantage of others, Liu Changan accepted Bai Hui's comic exhibition ticket, so he told her nicely that he was not at home and was now on the street. Bai Hui said he would wait for him at the Hermès counter facing the street.
There was only one Hermès counter in Junsha, and it was easy to find. Liu Changan walked over with five dolls in his arms.
As soon as he walked over, Liu Changan saw that Qian Ning was also there, and a girl with light bangs and delicate features was talking about something. Her tone was a bit exaggerated. She was exactly the kind of woman in the market with her eyebrows akimbo, and she had to be there.
The way the corners of the mouth turn up into a smile.
"I heard Qian Ning say that your family's background is quite average. I didn't expect you to be able to afford Hermès. It's so easy to make money from this fat house. You act cute every day, dance, expose your breasts, expose your legs and so on.
, I'm afraid I can earn a hundred thousand a month..." The girl clicked her tongue and sighed, "I saw a piece of news last time. A welfare girl named Nine-tailed Fox bought a house by selling welfare resources and making offline appointments.
There’s a Porsche 911.”
"What do you mean? Qian Ning, what did you say about me in front of your girlfriend?" Bai Hui glared at Qian Ning. He really didn't expect that his friend for many years would allow his girlfriend to slander and insult him. Qian Ning's new girlfriend
The friend’s surname is also Bai and Bai Rui. When Qian Ning posted on Moments, Bai Hui even blessed them.
"I didn't say anything. You are so famous. There are a lot of people trying to pick on you and say everything. It's not like you don't know." Qian Ning avoided Bai Hui's eyes. It was only after entering college that Qian Ning truly recognized her.
I know that there is no possibility for me and Bai Hui. I just found a girlfriend recently. She is good at everything, but she has a little problem and likes to be jealous... I know that Qian Ning has a good relationship with a very famous Wu Jian from Hunan University in high school.
Then he began to carefully and deeply pickle the white fennel, and collected a bunch of so-called "black materials" of the white fennel, trying to prove that the white fennel made money by selling meat to the top and packaged it into white and rich beauty.
"Don't you know those are all fake?" Bai Hui looked at Qian Ning coldly.
Qian Ning didn't dare to look at Bai Hui, let alone defend her in front of his girlfriend Bai Rui. After all, Bai Hui couldn't chew the meat, but Bai Rui was ready-made in the bowl.
"If you say it's fake, then it's fake. I didn't say you were like this... I'm just curious. It is said that there is a financial backer behind Miss Lo. They all like to call their financial backers daddy. Is that true?"
Bai Rui has beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, but she talks like a gun and a stick. She looked at the dress that was as cute as the little princess Bai Fen and laughed, "I didn't say anything about you, don't think too much about it."
"You..." Bai Hui was short of breath and had to hold her chest. She was so out of breath that she had no choice. This kind of lo-skirt often has a belt around the waist, which makes it a little tight. Usually, you need to deliberately breathe.
Rhythm, let alone now?
"Liu Chang'an..." Seeing Bai Hui being completely suppressed by his girlfriend, Qian Ning let out a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling a little indescribable secretly happy. He originally planned to let it go as soon as they got along, and just pull Bai Rui away, but he didn't.
When I thought about it, I saw Liu Changan standing behind the three of them.
Liu Changan is often so quiet. It's not surprising. He was often like this in high school. Sometimes he would call someone's name and clearly remember that he was not there, but when he was called, he would pop out of nowhere.
Bai Hui turned around, feeling aggrieved. She didn't know why she was so unlucky. Every time she was so embarrassed, Liu Changan saw him, and he always had the expression "You go on, I'll just take a look."
"Are you Liu Changan?"
To the surprise of Qian Ning and Bai Hui, Bai Rui looked surprised and a little shy when she saw Liu Changan. She hurriedly brushed her bangs, straightened her skirt, and watched intently.
Liu Changan.
Liu Changan nodded.
"I...I am your fan girl. I follow you on Weibo...I...I heard that you and Qian Ning are also high school classmates." Bai Rui said nervously.
Liu Changan nodded.
"We...can we make each other pink?" Bai Rui's cheeks turned red.
Liu Changan shook his head.
"Then...can we take a photo together?" Bai Rui was a little surprised. She didn't expect Liu Changan to deny face. Generally speaking, he would not give Qian Ning face. How could anyone be so unkind?
Liu Changan shook his head.
Bai Rui turned to look at Qian Ning in embarrassment and tugged on Qian Ning's sleeves. Didn't this idiot see that his girlfriend had no face at all? He didn't know how to help.
"Liu Changan, give me some face." Qian Ning said coldly. He was angry. He never expected to meet Liu Changan, let alone Bai Rui, who actually said she was Liu Changan's crush! What a mini mom!
But he didn't dare not help Bai Rui. After all, Bai Rui was the one who could break up with him three times in the morning, noon and night. Once they broke up, he would have to try his best to coax her, which would be extremely annoying.
Sometimes I want to break up, but after all, we are girlfriends, free sex has not yet beaten the dog, and if we find a new girlfriend, we may not be as beautiful as Bai Rui and have a good figure. Secondly, not all girls nowadays are
A fake?
"Why should I give you face?" Liu Changan shook his head.
Qian Ning was stunned for a moment, "We are high school classmates after all."
"You and Bai Hui are classmates in junior high school and high school, and you don't give her face. Why do you think that I will give you face when we have a casual relationship?" Liu Changan suggested sincerely, "Next year's Arbor Day, remember to plant trees.
.”
"You..." Qian Ning's cheeks were red and she pulled Bai Rui, "Let's go."
"Liu Chang'an, do you agree if I apologize to Bai Hui?" Bai Rui refused to leave. She and Qian Ning were not in the same school. They were separated by most of the city. This way, she could witness the legendary figure in the student circle with her own eyes.
There are not many opportunities.
"Please apologize." Liu Changan said.
Bai Rui brushed the hair beside her ears, hesitated for a moment, then finally smiled and said to Bai Hui: "Bai Hui, don't mind, I really didn't mean it to you."
"It doesn't matter." Bai Hui lowered his head and looked at the floor.
When Liu Changan saw Bai Rui also apologized, he felt that nothing had happened to him, so he turned around and left, still holding the five dolls in his arms.
"Liu Changan...we haven't taken a group photo yet..." Bai Rui hurriedly chased after him.
"I just lied to you." Liu Changan immediately admitted that he had lied.
"You..." Bai Rui stomped her feet angrily, and stopped when she saw Liu Changan actually walked into the Hermès counter. For many girls, when they don't have a bank card with a sufficient denomination, they face this kind of situation.
They didn't even have the courage to walk in at the counter.
"Understood? Liu Changan is such a person, and you are still his fan girl. What kind of fan girl are you fangirling over?" Qian Ning said angrily.
"But...but she still has quite a personality." Bai Rui thought for a while, twisted her body and said.
Feeling depressed, Qian Ning turned around and walked to the street to take a taxi, not bothering to care about Bai Rui.
Bai Hui still stood there, suddenly smiled, and vaguely saw a little bit of herself in Bai Rui... Although she was not as extreme as Bai Rui, there were times when she behaved similarly, which made Liu Changan hate her, right?
