that sea

Chapter 2 Popsicles

Last night's beer was a little over the top.

The next day, Lu Wang slept until ten o'clock.

He got up lazily and was brushing his teeth at the sink in a daze.

Lu Wang looked up at the mirror, in the mirror was a handsome young face, a pair of peach blossom eyes were wet at the moment, and the thick black eyelashes were also wet with water, like the most innocent deer in the forest.

Behind him is a large green coconut tree outside the window.

Through the mirror, Lu Wang saw the balcony of the opposite family, on which a white shirt was drying, being shaken by the wind.

Lu Wang suddenly remembered the figure standing by the window last night, and felt a little weird in his heart.

After tidying up, he went downstairs to buy some steamed buns. When passing downstairs, he saw Uncle Shuan still sitting on the pony tie at the door, slowly shaking his fan.

Lu Wang leaned over and handed him a meat bun, and squatted next to Uncle Shuan, eating the bun with him.

Lu Wang ate a steamed stuffed bun, and after finishing one, he opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Shuan, the family opposite me is back?"

He lifted his chin and gestured in that direction.

Uncle Shuan was concentrating on eating the buns, when he heard Lu Wang's words, he looked up in that direction.

The door was still locked, and there was no sign of people living there.

"It seems that I heard a little movement a few days ago."

Lu Wang finished a few more mouthfuls of steamed buns, and said vaguely:

"Who lived in that family before? Why did you come back after leaving for so long?"

Uncle Shuan didn't listen carefully, and only looked at the last bun left in Lu Lu's hand.

Lu Wang handed him the bun in his hand.

Uncle Shuan took a bite before speaking:

"There used to be a Nanyang gang in that family, and then the gangster got sick and died, and the door was locked all the time. It seems that there was a little boy left behind, maybe that little boy came back."

Lu Wang nodded, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"Eat first, I'm off to work."

Uncle Shuan waved at him.

Lu Wang returned to his home, took out the big box containing soda, walked to the yard, got on the motorcycle, and disappeared.

There are groups of coconut trees beside the coastal road.

The noon sun was shining brightly.

Lu Wang walked through the traffic coming and going.

After a while, I came to a cold drink shop.

"Boss, bring me twenty bottles of ice soda. Five bottles of each flavor."

The owner of the cold drink shop is a fat old man with a big belly, sitting in the rocking chair behind the counter, slowly shaking the fan in his hand.

Hearing Lu Wang's voice, he raised his head and saw that he was a regular customer. After taking the money, he stood up lazily without saying a word, and went to the freezer to flip through the pile of colorful sodas.

Lu Wang leaned beside him and buried his face in the freezer.

The cool air hit his sweaty face, and the sweet saccharin smell of fruit soda was in his nostrils. He took a deep breath.

It's so cool.

"Boss, give me some more ice, it's too hot today."

The fat man piled up dozens of bottles of soda on the counter with a cold face, and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said angrily:

"The ice is inside, go get it yourself."

Lu Wang didn't care about his face, he took a shovel, shoveled a few large pieces of ice in the freezer, and poured them into the big soda box he had, and then carefully put the soda on the counter into it .

Because there is still some soda left from yesterday, so the amount purchased today is less.

The owner of the cold drink shop saw that he had bought too little and asked himself for ice, so he looked unhappy and scolded him in the local dialect:

"Damn Chinaman, two cents for a penny!"

Lu Wang lowered his head to fill the box with soda, his eyes were crooked, and he looked completely incomprehensible, and from time to time he raised his head and smiled at him.That face, drenched with sweat, looked fresh and alive.

The boss snorted and stopped talking, continuing to sit there, waving his cattail fan.

The soda box was already big and heavy, but now it contains dozens of bottles of soda, plus these ice cubes, it is very difficult for an adult man to carry it with both hands.

Lu Wang clenched his back molars, and with all his strength, he threw the box onto his shoulders and carried it steadily.

The shop owner caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and was also secretly startled: After all, he is a young man, he looks like he doesn't have much flesh, but he has such great strength, and he is not afraid that the box will crush him.

Lu Wang carried the box out, fixed it on the back seat of the car, and wiped his sweat with his hand.

He looked back towards the counter and saw the fat old man lying on the rocking chair again, listening to the radio with his eyes closed.

The corner of Lu Wang's mouth curled into a smile, revealing two small canine teeth.

He took out two popsicles from his trouser pocket, put one into the box, and tore open the package with his teeth, and took a hard bite.

"Damn old man."

Lu Wang stepped into the car, sat on the seat, started the broken motorcycle while biting a popsicle.

Lu Wang drove all the way to the beach yesterday, and looked at it from a distance, the group of students were still there.

Great.

He chose a shaded place, parked the car, opened the box, took out several bottles of colorful soda, and placed them on the folding shelf.

While working, he looked up at the group of students.

They are in groups of three or four, some are playing ball, some are sunbathing on beach chairs, some are talking together, and some are running around on the beach. Those young faces are happy and full of joy. Vigorous, it seems that there will never be troubles.

It should be their summer vacation now.

In this kind of weather, instead of sleeping at home, I ran out here to bask in the sun.

These rich people really have a different sentiment from those poor people.

With the popsicle stick still in his mouth, Lu Wang sneered.

As soon as the stall was set up, it came to business.

A little fat man dragged a girl with a good figure to the soda stand and ordered two bottles of ice soda.

Lu Wang accepted the money and quickly opened the soda bottles for them.

The girl next to the little fat man kept looking at him, Lu Wang handed her the opened soda, and she gave him a hot and bold look.

Lu Wang looked away, lowered his head and opened another bottle of soda neatly.

The fat man felt the movement of the female companion beside him, and his face darkened immediately.

Lu Wang handed him the soda, but he didn't take it.

"Who told you to prescribe it for me? How do you drink it when you touch me?"

Although the little fat man looked young, with an immature face and the appearance of a high school student, his vicious expression and mocking tone were indeed quite skilled.

His two nostrils were dilated, his mouth was pouted, and he looked at Lu Wang with cold and disgust.

"Hands are so dirty, I don't know if there is mud under the nails."

The female companion beside him tugged at the hem of his clothes, but he waved it away.

Lu Wang's eyes flickered for a while, but he still had a smile on his face:

"Excuse me, let me change the bottle for you."

He turned around and picked up another bottle of ice soda and handed it to the fat man.

The fat man stretched out his hand lazily, took the soda, looked Lu Wang up and down, sneered, turned and left regardless of the female companion beside him.

The girl was a little embarrassed, she smiled apologetically at Lu Wang, turned around and caught up with the fat man.

Lu Wang sat on the folding chair that he brought with him, picked up the bottle of soda that the little fat man didn't want just now, and drank it slowly.

The soda is bright orange with a sweet tangerine flavor.

Although he has sold so many bottles of soda since he was a child, he has never drunk a few bottles.

When I was young, I was reluctant to drink it, even if he was very greedy, because he knew that these sodas would be exchanged for money and food.

When he grew up, he would rather drink bitter beer than this sweet and greasy sugar water.

He looked at the backs of the two of them, one fat and the other thin. The girl leaned against the fat boy and said something. The fat boy seemed not angry anymore. He put his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek with a smile.

Lu Wang took a sip of the soda, which was cold and slid down his throat into his stomach.

He raised his hands, which were very rough and black, with thick joints.

But the nails are trimmed very clean, and the crevices of the nails are clean without any dirt.

He hooked his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the sand on the ground, and the sand got into his palm, and also got into the crevice of his nails.

He let go of his palm and watched the sand slowly fall from his palm.

"Hello, can I have a bottle of ice soda, please?"

The girl's soft and shy voice came from the ear.

Lu Wang raised his head, it was the blushing girl from yesterday.

She wore a white dress today, and she didn't look like she was sweating profusely yesterday, but her face was still red.

Lu Wang stood up, clapped his hands, and showed the girl a perfect smile.

"What flavor do you want? Or orange soda?"

Seeing that he still remembered herself, the girl blushed a little more, and she nodded.

Lu Wang wiped his hands on the towel, took out a bottle of steaming orange soda from the box, pried off the bottle cap with a board, and with a "chuck", the air seemed to be filled with a hint of cold sweetness.

He handed the soda to the girl.

"Thank you."

The girl took it, paid the money, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Wang stopped her.

The girl turned her head suspiciously, only to see the boy took out another colorful popsicle from the box behind and handed it to her.

"Give it to you."

The girl's face was on fire, and she stood there, overwhelmed, with an orange soda in one hand and a popsicle in the other.

The boy opposite had curved eyebrows, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

Behind him is a large blue sea.
