There is light at the wellhead

Lao Guo, the owner of Wenyinshe, yelled at Li Jie on the first floor, saying that someone had brought something over.

The two followed each other down, signed for the desks and chairs, and called the workers to move them up.

Li Jie also thought Zhang Fei wasted money, "Go and buy second-hand ones for sure, he bought all new ones."

The driver who helped carry the things smiled, "You guys are not losing money at all. The person who ordered in the morning is your brother? He fooled our lady boss, saying that the tuition fees for the two children who come to you will be halved for life. The set of furniture gave me a lot of money."

"Oh~oh, oh, that's for sure. Not to mention the boss, even you, the master, if you want a child to come to make up lessons, I will give you an internal price!" Li Jie saw that this person was in his thirties, and stuffed it into his hand. A leaflet, the master folded it with a smile and put it away.

After tidying up, the office finally looked good. The windows inside and outside the room were clear and clean, and there was an old locust tree protruding from the window, which was indescribably elegant.

The place backed to the main street, and it was quite clean even with the windows open. The two of them stood blankly for a while, neither of them having the heart to break the rare silence.

Until Li Jie's stomach bone rumbled, Zhang Fei still hadn't come back.

"Let's go, go find him." Li Jie called He Jingyang downstairs, "I guess we've encountered some difficulties."

"Are you answering the phone?"

"Yeah, we were able to get through the conversation. Yesterday, I suddenly said that I applied for the license of Wenyinshe, but the use of it became a training class. It was not in compliance with the rules, so it was cut off." Li Jie sighed, and called Lao Guo. Greeted out the door.

"What should I do?"

"Please eat, or stuff red envelopes if you don't eat—that's all."

"Then how do we find it?"

"Shaguoju, opened by Du Yu's uncle, is quite rich, and the bill is settled once a month."

The two chatted all the way to Shaguoju, but Li Jie didn't go in and led He Jingyang to the back door.

After entering the back kitchen and asking, Zhang Fei came with two people, and they were eating in the private room.

Li Jie asked the waiter to pass a message, and after a while, Zhang Fei followed.

"How about it, do you want me to fight wine?" Li Jie asked.

"No need." Zhang Fei replied, "It's only a vulgar person who fights for wine. Change your bumpkin's way of thinking."

Country bumpkin Li Jie led He Jingyang back and ate two bowls of noodles on the way.

"The brand-new desk is still eye-catching. It feels like it has been upgraded to a new level. I am ashamed to charge tuition fees." As soon as he entered the room, Li Jie leaned on the leather sofa, squinted and admired the office furniture for a while, and curled up into a big cat.

He Jingyang was leaning on the other sofa, but he was not as thin as Li Jie, and he couldn't curl up. It took a long time for his long legs to get comfortable.

"Let me tell you about Zhang Yishu." Seeing that he finally settled down, Li Jie started chatting.

On the first day of October of the year when Li Yu disappeared, Li Jie asked his parents if he needed to "give cold clothes" to his brother. After being scolded, he never mentioned Li Yu in front of them again.

On the anniversary of Li Yu's death, only Li Jie goes there every year, bringing two bottles of wine each time.He drank one bottle, and sprinkled the other bottle on the grave for his brother to drink.

On the anniversary of his death last year, when he went, Zhang Fei had already arrived.

The man spread a plastic sheet on the spot and lay on it, holding a book in his hand, and was muttering to himself.

Seeing Li Jie coming down the slope with a bottle of wine in one hand, he said disgustedly: "Don't bring wine with you in the future, you see that there is no grass growing around here. grow out."

Li Jie ignored him, but looking at the fresh dewy flowers placed around the grave, he couldn't keep watering them, so he had to open a bottle and drink first.

While drinking, I heard Zhang Fei read this article quite familiar.

"Those twinkling stars in the sapphire mid-heaven have your eyes: for your eyes are twinkling like this, and don't let the wind blow."

……

"I'm too slow to walk, so I can't go all over the mountains and plains to find you with them—but I've been to all the places where the moonlight flows on the mountains, and I can't see you."

"What are you reading?"

"A writer wrote a love letter to his sweetheart. I used to read it to Li Yu all the time. If he refused to listen, I would threaten to kiss him." Zhang Fei answered lazily.

Li Jie told Zhang Fei that he had seen these writings when he was packing up Li Yu's belongings, and copied them carefully and conscientiously. At that time, he thought they were copybooks and burned them together with his clothes.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei got up, sat there for a long time, then went madly to Li Yu's grave and kissed him twice, "Li Yu, Li Yu! I'm not leaving tonight, come out, can we have a talk?" ?”

"Then you two talk, I'm leaving." Li Jie saw that it was not early, got up, adjusted his clothes and walked up the slope.After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked Zhang Fei, "I came here by bicycle, do I want to take you back to Qinghe?"

Zhang Fei lay on the grave bag and ignored him.

It was rare for Li Jie to be enthusiastic, but when he met a cold face, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Walking halfway, seeing that it was getting dark, I was worried, and rode my bicycle back.

He stood on the top of the slope and yelled several times, but he didn't hear Zhang Fei agreeing.I thought there was only one way out of the village, so this person couldn't get up his nerve to ask all the way to our house, could he?

In a hurry, he climbed down to the bottom of the slope to have a look. The man opened the bottle of wine left by Li Jie, and he probably bit it with his mouth. Blood was still foaming on the teeth, and he took a sip and poured it on Li Yu's grave. , cry for a while, take another sip, and cry for a while.

Li Jie couldn't help but feel sad, he went to pull him up, but Zhang Fei refused to move, weeping all over his face, the bottle of wine had already bottomed out, and he was a little drunk.

"I really don't care if you don't get up again, you can sleep here tonight!" Li Jie threatened loudly.

"Can't sleep, can't sleep yet, I... I haven't... No, I haven't kept a diary." Zhang Fei looked at Li Jie seriously, and pointed to a backpack behind him.

Li Jie took the bag over and opened it, and almost laughed angrily.

This person was quite well prepared, and he even brought a towel in his bag, and a book was wrapped in the towel.

Li Jie didn't move Zhang Fei after all, so he had to give up in the end. He cleared an open space, picked up some branches and lit a fire.

At first, the two sat facing each other across the fire, but when it got cold, Li Jie moved to Zhang Fei's side, took out the towel and put them on.

Later, Zhang Fei took out his diary, but couldn't hold the pen steadily, so he insisted on asking Li Jie to write it down for him.

"...Overcast? Sunny? No, it was sunny when we came here, but now it's dark." Zhang Fei thought hard for a long time, "You remember that it's cloudy or sunny!"

"Do I still like you?" Zhang Fei's drunken eyes blurred, Li Jie shook his head, "I don't know."

"Happy! Happy!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and pointed at Li Jie firmly, "Write it down!"

Li Jie flipped forward under the firelight, only to find that the same sentence was written in the entire diary every day: Today is the XXX day since you left, do I still like you?like.

On the first day, it was the day when my family received a call from the school, "Today is the third day since you left, and I will remember it until you show up. Do I still like you? I do."

From that day on, Zhang Fei used diaries of various colors and formats to record his confession to Li Yu.In the middle, there are a few posts of his hand-painted graduation photos of the two of them together, as well as various flowers and plants.

Until one day, everything became solemn black.It was the day when he knew that he would never see Li Yu again in this life.

In the diary of that day, there is only one sentence "Do I still like you? I don't like it!"

From the next day, it was back to normal.

Li Jie flipped through the pages one by one, crying in his heart for the first time since Li Yu passed away.I don't know if it's because of Li Yu being missed so much in this world, or because of Zhang Fei's hurtful but futile thinking.

From that day on, he no longer had hatred or hostility towards Zhang Fei.

"Before, I couldn't accept this kind of feeling. I felt that if people couldn't control themselves, they would be stupid and pathetic, and even—deserved to die." Li Jie choked up, "But look at you, you are neither stupid nor pathetic, Li Jade is dead, and Zhang Fei is happy to guard the grave. Look at you again, you are determined to be a bastard in Shushui Town, and Guan Wei is willing to accompany you. So in fact, the right and wrong I said are meaningless at all. In contrast, it’s more stupid and pitiful to hide your liking, but dare not say anything, and call it self-control.”

He Jingyang's heart was shocked, and felt that the second half of Li Jie's sentence seemed to be talking about him and himself, so he couldn't help being a little stunned.

The two of them curled up on the sofa in silence and were about to fall asleep, only to be awakened by the sudden ringing of the phone.

He picked up the phone and heard Zhang Fei's voice: "How is it? It's connected, right? Then I'll go back."

"Okay, okay." Li Jie hung up the phone, rubbed his face, and tried to make a phone call.

He Jingyang immediately called home and said that he would help Li Jie in Qingcheng for a few days and would not go back for the time being.

"Notice? Don't tear it down. I'll talk about it when I go back. I'll read it myself." He Jingyang hung up the phone and looked at Li Jie. "Hey, I've also arrived in Yunzhou."

"I heard it. I'm really wondering where I got in the exam?"

"It's the same everywhere, it's all in Yunzhou anyway."

"Well, it will be different if you go to Beijing." Li Jie made a rare joke, but He Jingyang didn't answer the question in a daze.

Zhang Fei is back.As soon as I entered the door, I disliked the unscientific arrangement of their furniture. After pointing and moving it for a long time, I was finally satisfied.Draw a few lines with your fingers: "Here, finance, there must be a safe at the back, and this drawer can be locked; here and there are teachers' offices; here you can consider adding a frosted glass sliding door, and separate it for the principal. Whenever you receive someone, it’s more convenient for you to put in a red envelope, and you need to have a filing cabinet to store all kinds of materials.”

The two of them looked around, from bewildered to clear, they couldn't help admiring Zhang Fei's hard work.

"Will Lao Xu give people red envelopes?" He Jingyang asked.

"Tsk, what do you do as the vice-principal?" Zhang Fei pointed to himself, "I only do things that Old Xu doesn't care about."

"You're a country bumpkin with wine, but you're not a bumpkin if you stuff red envelopes?" Li Jie sneered.

"Du Tu, but you can't go to a bar that's too cheap to drink? It's dilapidated and hurts your body. If you can make achievements in the future, you won't be afraid. Who doesn't have a child who goes to school? And then we won't mention free. Enrollment is limited and merit-based. If children of their family or relatives and friends want to come, it is preferential treatment to give a place, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be qualified!"

Li Jie laughed when he heard this, "Listen to his grand plans and achievements, He Jingyang, hurry up and reserve a place for your child."

As soon as He Jingyang heard about the child, he thought of marriage, and even thought of marrying a wife, finding a partner, Guan Wei... ah.

While chatting, Zhang Fei looked at his watch and said, "It's time, I have an appointment with Mr. Wang to talk about something, I will definitely bring you two to have a good dinner, definitely!"

Zhang Fei left, He Jingyang and Li Jie continued to decorate the classroom, and asked Zhang Fei if he had to treat him again or give him a red envelope.

"No, just drink some green tea. But it's more expensive than a meal. It's mainly about the environment. This is Wang Yahui's father, so let's talk about how we can help. If you mention us a little among the school or parents, the effect will be great." It's completely different."

"Can I agree?" He Jingyang admired Li Jie's ability to make the best use of his abilities, but he was still a little worried.

"How can it be. He is a key provincial teacher and values ​​reputation. Last time, Wang Yahui introduced us first. This time, Zhang Fei brought the resumes and qualifications of teachers in various subjects. He helped check it out, because he has been in this circle for so many years, and his one sentence can compare to my advertisements all over the city. But if this group of people is really of high quality, it will not seem abrupt if we make this request again." Li Jie He Jingyang heard the words clearly and logically, and suddenly felt that his dream of being a school boy who had graduated for a few years and returned home to run an auto repair shop was really not on the table.

I also imagined how wronged Guan Wei would be if he insisted on staying in that small place with him at that time, and felt a little absent-minded for a while.

"I'll make another batch of posters when school is about to start, and stick them at the door of the bookstore. Zhang Fei has seniors from Yunda in the library system, and he is willing to help."

"Can stationery stores also post?" Inspired, He Jingyang helped out with ideas.

"Bookstores are better. They are all state-run. People will subconsciously think that this training institution can be on the wall of a state-run bookstore, and it must be the same. Is it close to the red and the black? If the bookstore has a stationery store, it can't be posted. Yes, because it will affect the authority of the bookstore."

"Then you still spread leaflets all over the street?"

"One leaflet is for publicity, and the other is equivalent to a coupon. It is mainly for parents to take it and get it cheap. Who cares about the positioning of money?"

"Oh!" He Jingyang became more and more excited as he listened, "I don't even want to go to school anymore, I'll do it here with you."

"I have to go to school honestly, do you still have the heart to think about this? What I mean is that you don't care about what I persuaded you before, and you can do whatever you want. So don't you think about it first and Guan Wei Is it about something? He is leaving soon, is it really going to be over?" Li Jie looked at him suspiciously.
