seven wonderful flowers

The matter of Lao Li has calmed down, and life has returned to peace.

At noon that day, Old Shi called me. I was playing chess at the Senior Activity Center and invited me to Beidaihe for a visit.I was fighting fiercely with my opponent at the time, so I answered him, and I had to think about it before replying to him.

After a while, Lao Shi came to the activity center for the elderly.He stood by and waited silently for me to finish. After I finished, I asked him: "What did you just say?"

"You go ahead and download it first, and I'll tell you when it's done," Lao Shi replied with a smile

Putting down the chess and going home with Lao Shi, Lao Shi said that he would take me to dinner instead of going home to cook.

"When people are old, eat less outside, cook at home, and eat healthy." I don't want to, insist on cooking at home. "Did you pick up your money? Eat out if you have nothing to do. You go, I'm going home for dinner, I'm going down when you park your car"

"It's fine with you, okay. My uncle" Lao Shi said with a smile

When I got home, I lay down on the sofa: "You cook, I don't want to move."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let's cook the porridge. I'll go to the opposite side to buy some steamed buns. You just need to make two more dishes. I feel like I'm going to sleep."

"Then you lie down for a while, I'll prepare the porridge, let him make it, and I'll buy steamed buns." Lao Shi squatted down and said with concern: "Playing chess is too much brain! Don't play for too long in the future."

Looking at his kind expression, with a smile, I touched his face happily.Lao Shi also bowed his head and kissed me.

After resting for a while, I felt much better. It was Lao Shi who asked me to get up and eat.

After the meal, I sat on the sofa, and Lao Shi was going to clean up. I stopped him, saying that I would clean up later, and asked him what he said to me on the phone just now?

"I knew you were absent-minded at the time." The old man bent over and held my face with both hands, and said tenderly with his forehead against mine: "I want to take you to Pianbeidaihe! You have been there No?"

"Beidaihe? Where is it? Is it far? Is it fun? Where is it?" A lot of questions were asked all at once.

"It's far, it's so far away. It's not far from Beijing. It's a place by the sea. It's good for leisure and vacation. After staying in Beidaihe for a few days, let's go to Beijing for a few days."

"Then I'll discuss it with your sister-in-law. She asked me when I would go to her place the day before yesterday."

"Why, sister-in-law misses you?" Old Shi joked viciously

"We are very harmonious"

"Oh"

"It's because I'm afraid that I'm bored at home by myself, so call me, and I say I miss the children, so she will let me go there"

After the phone call, my wife learned that I was going to Beijing with Lao Shi, and he didn’t say anything, just told me to pay attention to my body, and finally I didn’t forget to laugh and say that I was more beautiful when I was with Lao Shi than when I was with her. many.

With the permission of my wife, I am ready to leave on the third day.In the evening, Lao Hong came over, and accidentally learned that we were going to Beijing, and revealed that he wanted to go together. Lao Shi didn't express his opinion, but turned to look at me.I can't refuse, but it's hard to say: "Okay, let's go together, but I don't know if there is a room for three people in the hotel, or we will live alone when the time comes."

"Then ask another person to go," Lao Hong immediately said.

"Who?" Lao Shi and I asked at the same time

"I don't know." Lao Hong smiled awkwardly, looked at me and then at Lao Shi.

"It's this old Hong. Of course there are many people going out to play. We will go to one of my comrades first. We haven't seen each other. This time he has something to call me and let me go. Maybe go to his house for a few days first , and then go to Beijing.” Lao Shi said with a smile

"Oh" Lao Hong looked a little disappointed, "Actually, Hong Lin called me and asked us to go to his place to play. His father-in-law also called me and invited me to go to play. I think you can go together. Now you go to Beijing. I went to him."

"That's good! You go first. If we have time, we can go there again." I said, "I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it after going out for many days."

In this way, Lao Shi and I took the train northward on the third day, and Lao Hong also went to Hong Lin's place on the same day.

After leaving Beidaihe Station, Lao Shi pulled the suitcase in front, looking very relaxed, and even a little excited.I was wondering, when I saw him walk behind a white Volkswagen off-road vehicle, gently lifted the trunk, put the suitcase in, then turned around and smiled at me and said, "Hurry up, put the suitcase in." It's in the back." Then he came over and took my luggage and bag and put them in. "Go, get in the car and come pick us up."

"Ah! Someone will pick you up here?"

"The comrade-in-arms back then is now a big landlord, my elder brother, surnamed X." Lao Shi and his comrade-in-arms introduced me. "My comrade-in-arms, surnamed Li." He introduced his comrade-in-arms to me.His comrade-in-arms sat in the driver's seat and reached out for my handshake.I got in from behind and shook his hand.The hands are not fat, but powerful.

Along the way, they talked very casually, even joking,

"Old Shi, I heard that you have changed from being a real estate owner to being the director of a nursing home?"

"Tired, getting old, let's go back to the life I want to live"

"Tired, let's stay here for a few more days this time." Li said

After getting into the car, I started to pay attention to Li from the back. Li was neither fat nor thin. He had black hair and looked very energetic.But the shoulders are very thick, maybe it is the result of the military training that year.

The car stopped in front of a "XX Hotel".Li said, "Here we are, there is no business these days, and it is reserved for you."

"You don't have to spend so much money! You can just find a home anywhere!"

"Then how can it be done? When a distinguished guest comes, there must be expensive treatment. Besides, this is my own, and there is no need to spend money."!

It turned out that the hotel belonged to Li himself, and he was closed these days because of our arrival.There is a sign "closed for business" at the door.It seems that the relationship between Li and Lao Shi is unusual.

When Li left, he whispered something to Lao Shi before he left. Seeing Lao Shi's smile, it must have hit Lao Shi's heart.Maybe it has something to do with me, otherwise the two of them would look back at me from time to time.

"Let's go, wash up, take a rest, and stay for dinner together. Li Dai will come to pick us up."

"Did you tell me about Li's situation?" I raised my head and asked Lao Shi.

"Do you have a sense of crisis?" Lao Shi teased, "You can treat me better, there are many people who pursue me!"

"Cut, it's just you! I don't care about it!"

"Really?"

"Is he really just your comrade in arms?"

"Hehe, you'll find out soon.

In the evening Li invited the two of us to have dinner at XX Hotel.During the dinner, Li said: "I may go to Singapore the day after tomorrow, and the time may be about a month. During this time, you will live here, the car will be reserved for you, and you will have everything you need at home. Treat yourself like your own home."

"What's the matter, you have to leave as soon as I come, and it's still a month, it's too boring. Do you want to take some good friends to travel together?"

"It was suddenly ordered last night. One is that the company over there still has some matters to deal with, and the other is that A Dong wants me to come over." He said with a somewhat embarrassed look.Then smiled and said: "You two are here to have fun, tomorrow I will take you out to play."
