The Pentium Era - South to North

They didn't go to work the next day. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili felt very relaxed. Jin Lili's bed was big and soft, with Simmons underneath. It was much more comfortable than Zhang Chen's single bed, and even better than theirs in Yongcheng. The brown shed bed is quite comfortable.

Zhang Chen lay on this bed, feeling a little sorry for Jin Lili. Only then did he understand that Jin Lili went to their shabby room every weekend, squeezed into that hard shabby bed, and had to worry all the time. Liu Ligan, who was sitting across the bed sheet, was actually wronged.

The two of them were exhausted from tossing on this comfortable bed. Several times, Zhang Chen fell into a trance and felt like the person next to him was Xiao Zhao. He was startled and woke up, scaring him so much that he broke into a cold sweat. .

Fortunately, Jin Lili didn't notice at all, she was already exhausted.

The two of them slept until noon the next day before getting up. When they walked outside, they found that Liu Ligan was no longer there. The keys to Zhang Chen's motorcycle that he had placed on the coffee table were also missing. They wondered where Liu Ligan was showing off again.

The two of them opened the refrigerator. Even when Mr. Xia and Lao Bao were around, they rarely cooked at the company. The refrigerator was empty, with only noodles and eggs. They were too lazy to go out, so they cooked two bowls of noodles.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Chen sat on the sofa and watched TV. When he heard Jin Lili calling him, Zhang Chen walked over. The two of them cuddled together and stood in Jin Lili's office and looked outside. They saw Xiuying on the pier. , it was still crowded with people carrying large and small bags waiting for the boat.

Both of them felt a little relieved in their hearts. They felt that they were finally no longer one of the crowded people on the pier. Even if they went back now, with their income, they would not have to work in the winter and would still be sweating profusely. Go squeeze boats, cars, and trains.

Their route map will be from Haicheng Airport to Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou, then transfer from Baiyun Airport to Jianqiao Airport in Hangzhou, and then take a four-hour bus ride to get home.

It was already dark outside. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili were hungry, but they decided to wait for Liu Ligan to come back before going out to eat together.

When Liu Ligan came back, he brought back a lot of vegetables and food and filled the refrigerator. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili immediately decided not to go out. Zhang Chen immediately started cooking. Liu Ligan told them, I have to buy some more tomorrow, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy anything for the Chinese New Year in a few days.

Jin Lili said yes, you can buy as much as you can. If one refrigerator can't fit in it, I can buy another refrigerator to ensure that you satisfy your desire to buy.

After the three of them finished eating, Jin Lili shouted, "I am a woman and have priority. I don't wash the dishes." Zhang Chen and Liu Li pole hammer, scissors, paper. Zhang Chen lost and could only wash the dishes obediently and wait until he did. After finishing the bowl, he came out of the kitchen. The karaoke outside started again. Liu Ligan took the microphone and started singing again.

On the second and third days that followed, it was still like this. When Zhang Chen and Jin Lili got up, Liu Ligan was riding his motorcycle. He didn't know where he was going, so he waited until dark before coming back and brought back a lot of things. He even went to where they lived and moved the cassette stove and gas tank over, and they built the side stove again.

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili asked Liu Ligan where he had been during the day. Liu Ligan smiled and told them that he was wandering around. There are many stores now with big discounts. Did I go shopping?

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili felt that Liu Ligan's answer was sneaky. Neither of them believed it, but they were too lazy to care about him. As a man, it doesn't matter what he does. He just wants to sell, so there must be someone who likes him. ah.

On the afternoon of the 29th day of the New Year, Zhang Chen and Jin Lili stood looking at Xiuying Pier. The number of people finally became sparse and the pier became empty. It’s no wonder that they were still stranded at Xiuying Pier at this time. Unless he is from Guangdong or Guangxi, even if he crosses the sea and rushes slowly, it will be difficult for him to catch up with the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Chen looked at the people on the dock and was startled. He shouted, "I know where Liu Ligan went!"

"Where have you gone?" Jin Lili asked.

"This guy must have gone to the airport to wait for Tan Shuzhen. He told me many times that Tan Shuzhen was coming during the Spring Festival." Zhang Chen said.

"Did Tan Shuzhen reply to him?"

"No, but he wrote to Tan Shuzhen and asked her to come over during the Spring Festival."

"That's no use. I haven't even replied to my letter. Even if I come, I don't know what day it is."

"Yes, so this kid goes to the airport every day to wait." Zhang Chen said.

Jin Lily thought of the boxes of coconuts with dates engraved on them under Liu Ligan's bed. She also felt that Liu Ligan would do this. This bastard was no more serious than anyone else when he was not serious, but when he became serious, When I'm doing this, I'll be so serious that I'm scared to death.

The two felt that the matter was getting serious, and they discussed it over and over again. Finally, Jin Lili said, no, I have to call Tan Shuzhen to ask if she has come out. Otherwise, when will this kid wait?

"Can you find her?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I couldn't find her. Every time I called her, her mother answered the phone. When she heard it was my voice, she hung up," Jin Lili said.

"What should we do?"

"No matter what, I'm willing to risk it all."

As Jin Lili said this, she took Zhang Chen to the office and dialed Tan Shuzhen's home phone number.

Jin Lili put the phone on speakerphone and the call went through. The voice of Tan Shuzhen's mother came on the phone.

"Auntie, this is Lily. Don't hang up the phone. If you dare to hang up, I will fall out with you. I promise to come downstairs to your house and scold you for three days and three nights. I will scold you in any unpleasant way."

Jin Lili said that the person on the phone was stunned, but did not hang up. Jin Lili continued: "Auntie, ask Zhenzhen to answer the phone. You can listen to what we say."

There was a "hum" sound on the phone, and after a while, Tan Shuzhen's voice came through. Jin Lili quickly called out: "Zhenzhen, are you okay?"

Tan Shuzhen was stunned for a moment when she heard Jin Lili's voice, and then said lukewarmly: "It's okay, how are you?"

"We are good!" Jin Lili said excitedly.

"Oh, it's fine. I wish you all the best. Is there anything else? It's okay. I'll die." Tan Shuzhen said.

Jin Lili was stunned for a moment, then remembered something and asked urgently: "Zhenzhen, when will you come to Hainan? Zhanzi goes to the airport every day to wait for you."

"Why did I come to Hainan? Why is he waiting for me? What a joke, why do you think of me now?" Tan Shuzhen sneered.

"Hey, Zhenzhen, what do you mean?"

"not interesting."

"No, no, what you said..."

"Go and ask Liu Ligan."

Tan Shuzhen hung up the phone as she spoke. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili looked at each other in shock. Jin Lili cursed, Damn, Tan Shuzhen took some medicine?

"Is it because her mother is always around and she can't say anything?" Zhang Chen asked.

Jin Lili thought it was possible, but after thinking about it, she shook her head. Jin Lili said, "You don't know who Tan Shuzhen is? How can her mother control her?"

Zhang Chen thought about it too.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the reason for Tan Shuzhen's inexplicable behavior. However, one thing is certain, that is, Tan Shuzhen had no intention of coming to Hainan at all, let alone coming to celebrate the Spring Festival.

"The pole is really pitiful," said Jin Lili.

Zhang Chen also shook his head. They all thought of Liu Ligan at the airport, waiting with hope every day, and then coming back disappointed every day.

"Do you want to tell him this phone call?" Jin Lili asked Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen shook his head, nodded, and shook his head again.

Jin Lili said anxiously: "What the hell are you talking about, do you want it or not?"

Zhang Chen sighed: "I don't know, this idiot is so obsessed with face. He even refuses to tell us when he goes to the airport every day. What will happen if you talk to him about the phone call?"

"Forget it, forget it." Jin Lili quickly shook her head, "I dare not say it."

The two finally decided not to say anything and just pretend they didn't know anything. Anyway, if they survive today, tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve, and Liu Ligan himself should be worried.

When Liu Ligan came back in the evening, the two of them didn't ask where Liu Ligan was. Liu Ligan looked a little lonely and became taciturn. After dinner, he rushed to wash the dishes instead of singing Hey Hey Chou. Hey.

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
