1987 My Era

Chapter 423,

The second call Li Heng made was to Dongting Lake.

No one answered the call.

I called twice more, but still no one answered.

He looked up at the sky, which was as clear and blue as a mirror. Could it be that the whole family was picking tea in the tea mountains?

The third call he made was to his second sister, but it was Jiaojiao who answered the phone.

Jiaojiao said that her second sister had gone out to buy goods and might not be back until the evening. Due to the hot business in the pastry shop, there was a shortage of staff, and Jiaojiao, who was too busy to handle it, hung up the phone after talking to him for less than 3 minutes.

Putting the receiver back, Li Heng asked, "Boss, how much?"

"42 yuan." The boss showed him the call times of three phone calls.

Damn it, three phone calls cost 42 yuan. In the countryside, the daily wage of one yuan and fifty cents is enough to hire someone to do work for a month and a half.

It really hurts, robbing is faster than picking up money.

For a moment, he wondered whether he should install a telephone at home.

But when he thought of Mai Sui and Teacher Yu, he immediately panicked and gave up the idea. If Zi Jin called, if Song Yu called, and Mai Sui and Teacher Yu answered the phone, what should he do?

Isn't that inviting disaster?

Isn't that just digging a hole for yourself?
If Mai Sui talked to Song Yu from time to time, wouldn't her heart, which she had finally opened to him, be completely closed?

Don’t be so stupid. You can’t be impatient about the phone call. You have to build a certain level of relationship with Song Yu first.

Otherwise, this Buddhist wife will be very difficult to deal with.

After paying the bill, Li Heng immediately sent out two more letters.

Just when he was about to enter the department store to buy some snacks, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Bing, and Bai Wanying, who was always with him.

The two of them actually changed their business and were now selling braised dishes, such as pig intestines, pig ears and pig tails.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bai, good afternoon." Li Heng walked over to greet them.

Zhang Bing, who was cutting a pig's tail for a customer, raised his head and said with a big smile, "Lao Li, when did you come?"

"I also want to ask you, I have been here for a while." Li Heng said.

Bai Wanying's eyes were fixed on him, which was very strange.

Li Heng was embarrassed by the look on his face, "Am I dirty?"

Bai Wanying smiled like a flower, "I see good luck in love in you."

"Nonsense! Do you think you can see my luck in love?" Li Heng rolled his eyes.

Bai Wanying smiled and said, "Actually, I saw you a few days ago. You were with Zhou Shihe, having breakfast at the Blue Sky Hotel."

Li Heng asked: "Yeah, then why didn't you call me?"

"I see you two are talking with your heads down, I feel embarrassed to disturb you," said Bai Wanying.

Li Heng leaned over to take a look. "Why did you think of selling this? Didn't you say you wanted to sell roasted chestnuts?"

Bai Wanying explained: "It will take some time for the chestnuts to come out. My brother-in-law has been selling stewed meat in Xuhui recently. His business is so good that he even bought a small shop. I saw that Zhang Bing was worried, so I asked him to learn this from my brother-in-law."

Li Heng asked: "How long have you studied?"

"This is cooked by my brother-in-law and his friends. He hasn't even finished his cooking yet. Come, try it." As she said that, Bai Wanying cut a piece of pig intestine and handed it to him.

Li Heng didn't reach out for it. He was too lazy to wash his hands because he was afraid of the greasiness. He simply lowered his head and put it in his mouth. He chewed a few times and said, "Well, it tastes good. No wonder you have good business."

Zhang Bing said, "If you are used to it, I can cut a little of each for you."

Li Heng nodded, "Okay."

He wanted to ask about Zhang Bing's family situation, but after taking a look at Bai Wanying, he gave up the idea.

When asking about Zhang Bing's family, it is inevitable to mention Zhang Bing's wife and two children, which is not good in front of Bai Wanying. Although they are gentlemen, who knows what they are thinking deep in their hearts?

Just like him and the wheat ears, after being together for a long time, he can't live without each other.

Of course, compared to himself and Mai Sui, the situation between Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying was very different. At least, it was just speculation now, and there was no evidence of any ambiguity between the two.

One has to admire it.

Zhang Bing cut three pounds of braised food for him and refused to take any money from him. In the end, he had no choice but to stuff a bill into Bai Wanying's pocket and left.

Bai Wanying was in a wheelchair, which made it inconvenient for her to catch up with him. She could only watch him go away and sigh at the end.

When Li Heng disappeared from his sight, Zhang Bing sent away the two customers and couldn't help asking, "Did you really see Lao Li and Zhou Shihe together?"

Bai Wanying nodded.

Zhang Bing was puzzled. "Are you talking about the two of them?"

"should not."

Bai Wanying knew what he meant. "Li Heng and Zhou Shihe might be together for some reason. They don't give me the impression that they are in a relationship. Besides..."

Zhang Bing asked: "What else?"

Bai Wanying asked: "If you had a partner like Xiao Han, would you still be indecisive?"

Zhang Bing shook his head: "I can't do such a betrayal."

Bai Wanying looked at him and put the money in her hand into the box: "That's right. It's said that Zhou Shihe's family background is very powerful, but as a man, with a girlfriend like Xiao Han, he should have no regrets. I don't think Li Heng has any thoughts about Zhou Shihe."

Zhang Bing thought it made sense: "The guys in the dormitory all said that Xiao Han and Zhou Shihe are equally good-looking, and each has their own merits. Xiao Han is also Lao Li's childhood sweetheart, so there is no reason for him to abandon Xiao Han and go with Zhou Shihe."

Bai Wanying agreed with this.

So far, Li Heng has left a very good impression on them. He is talented, has good temperament, good looks, and is well-mannered and unpretentious. He fits the image of a prince charming in women's minds.

This is also the reason why Li Xian liked Li Heng so much but was not laughed at by the classmates. Because too many girls in the management school have a crush on Li Heng, and too many boys envy Li Heng, thinking that all this is natural.

At this point, the two looked at each other, both curious about why Li Heng and Zhou Shihe got together during the summer vacation?
Bai Wanying asked, "Is he creating music again? Like the Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhang Bing thought for a while and said, "It's possible. This is the only way to understand it."

As he spoke, Zhang Bing suddenly said, "Li Guang will come over in two days." Bai Wanying lowered her head and sorted out the change: "I received a letter from him."

After buying some candies, Li Heng rode his bicycle back to Lushan Village like the wind.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw Yu Shuheng walking in with a black umbrella.

Li Heng stopped the car and shouted enthusiastically: "Teacher, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly: "No need, it's only a few steps to get home."

Seeing this, Li Heng knew that she was worried about the eyes of the surrounding teachers. After all, it was broad daylight, so he got out of the car and pushed it away: "Have you settled the recording matters?"

"I've already contacted them in Hongkou. We'll start recording tomorrow," she said.

"Go early and come back late every day?"

"Correct."

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you for your hard work."

"Well, where have you been?"

Li Heng pointed to the small basket in front of him and said, "I went to mail a letter and bought some snacks."

Then he added, "Teacher, starting from the 8th, I will be away for a while."

Yu Shuheng glanced at him, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Going to the capital?"

Li Heng thought about it and said truthfully: "Let's go to Dongting Lake first."

Yu Shuheng said nothing more, slowly walked past him and walked ahead.

Looking at her tall back, Li Heng wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he swallowed the words back and walked slowly with her for two minutes before reaching the end of the alley.

At this time, Chen Siya was picking cucumbers at the gate of the courtyard with a big pregnant belly. When she saw Yu Shuheng, she said, "Shuheng, I thought you weren't coming. I called you and told you that you had something to do. Come in quickly. The food will be ready soon."

Then, Chen Siya asked Li Heng: "Where is Shihe? Where did she go? Didn't she go out with you?"

Li Heng was surprised: "She hasn't come back yet?"

Chen Siya shook her head.

Li Heng turned the steering wheel and said, "I'm going to go find her now."

"Go quickly and come back soon, we only have one dish left." Chen Siya instructed.

"Yeah, I know." Li Heng came and went like the wind.

Looking at Li Heng walking away, Yu Shuheng asked, "Did you go fishing this morning?"

Chen Siya said: "Lao Fu said that I stayed at home for too long and felt bored, so he took me out early to get some fresh air."

Yu Shuheng asked: "Why didn't you call me?"

Chen Siya said: "I told you at dinner yesterday. I asked you if you wanted to go, but you said you didn't have time."

Yu Shuheng said expressionlessly: "Sometimes, time can be spared."

Chen Siya looked at her, then realized what was going on and said meaningfully, "I was just guessing before, you wouldn't really be attracted to Li Heng, right?"

"He is not a good man." Yu Shuheng glanced at her and answered.

Chen Siya smiled and said, "Are you still moved?"

Yu Shuheng handed her the umbrella and walked into the courtyard first.

Chen Siya smiled, hung the umbrella under the eaves, and sighed, "This is not like you."

"What does it mean to be like me?" Yu Shuheng asked.

Chen Siya blurted out: "In the past so many years, no man has caught your eye. I think that's normal. You shouldn't fall in love with a student who is 7 years younger than you."

Yu Shuheng was silent for a long time and then said, "Your Aunt Shen Xin strongly recommends it."

"Aunt Shen Xin is Aunt Shen Xin, and you are you." Chen Siya was interrupted halfway through her words.

Yu Shuheng said softly, "After watching the ending of White Deer Plain, my dad also asked about Li Heng last night."

Chen Siya opened her mouth wide and couldn't utter a word for a long time. She was very shocked.

After a long while, she asked, "The Harvest magazine has only been serialized to chapter 36. Did you give the manuscript to uncle in advance?"

"This is not a difficult task for me." Yu Shuheng reached out and fiddled with the bell on the table.

Chen Siya looked at Lingling for a while, then looked at her best friend: "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Yu Shuheng said.

Chen Siya asked: "Since this is the case, why are you still hesitating?"

Yu Shuheng asked back: "Do you think I am playing tricks, or is it a natural outcome?"

Chen Siya understood what she meant and was speechless for a moment.

After two minutes of confrontation, Chen Siya nodded, "This is indeed a big problem. After all, tricks are not perfect, and they may backfire. But if you wait for things to come to fruition, it will take more than a day or two, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes along the way."

After a while, Chen Siya asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

Yu Shuheng raised her head.

Chen Siya glanced at the entrance of the courtyard, "I asked Lao Fu to invite Li Heng to drink frequently in the name of drinking, so as to create opportunities for you. Otherwise, he would stay with Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe every day, so how could you get any chance?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Drinking is harmful to the body."

"Tsk! You're starting to feel sorry for him now, and he's not your man after all." Chen Siya joked.

Yu Shuheng stretched lazily and ignored him.

"Drink beer, just a little to relax you, don't drink too much," Chen Siya suggested.

ps: Change first and then change.
