look back 蔡智恒 3280Words 2018-03-13
Although I am a little curious about Li Yun's shop, within two weeks after the barbecue event, I didn't go to her shop, and I didn't even know the name of the shop. Because after leaving the gate of the community, the direction of my work is going to the right, and the locomotive is also parked on the right. It's hard for me to "remember" to make a special left turn to go to her store. I didn't step into her store until the evening of a certain holiday. That evening, I was about to go out to buy something, when I stepped into the lobby on the first floor, I heard someone say:

"Mr. Cai!" I turned around but couldn't see anyone, and it took a few seconds before I saw Mrs. Li running. This is what the Taiwanese say: "The voice arrives before the people arrive." Mrs. Li is the chairman of the community management committee. Her husband passed away, and she took care of her two children alone. Her voice is very high and clear, and she is now the soprano of some amateur choir. It is said that her voice was originally very deep, but when she gave birth, she yelled on the hospital bed due to pain, As a result, after giving birth, she became a soprano.

And she gave birth to two, one mountain was taller than the other, and her voice was even louder. "What's the matter?" I smiled kindly. "You haven't paid the management fee for last month!" Mrs. Li said. "Sorry." My smile froze, "I forgot." I hurried to the management office to pay last month's management fee. After paying the money, I heard her say again: "Let's also pay this month's management fee by the way!" I turned my head, and Mrs. Li actually spoke 30 meters away. After paying the management fee for this month, I ran out of money in my wallet. When I was about to go upstairs to get some money,

Suddenly a woman appeared beside him.I glanced at her and thought she looked familiar. "By the lake, roast meat, howling pigs and blood all over the place," she said. "Hello." I remembered, "Are you here to pay the management fee too?" "No. I'll come and see you," she said. "Everyone in the building heard Mrs. Li's call." I was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so I smiled awkwardly. "Remember my name?" she asked. "Hmm..." I thought for a while, "I remember that the three characters of your name all start with cursive..."

"Liyun" came to my mind, but I forgot her surname, I only know that it has cursive initials. Although "Cai" is also a cursive prefix, she should not have the same surname as mine, If her surname is Cai, I will definitely remember it clearly. "Ah!" I thought, "Miss Hua Liyun, hello." "I'm Su Liyun, just call me Liyun." She smiled again. I felt embarrassed again, and when I was about to explain my poor memory, she said: "Come and sit in my shop." "But I seem to have one thing to deal with first," I said. "like?"

"Because I forgot what it was now." "Come to the store first." She said, "Sit down and think slowly." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the gate of the community. I hesitated and followed. After leaving the gate of the community, turn left for 20 meters and you will arrive at her shop. There is a dense tree on the left and right of the store door, and there is a small flower garden at the door, with some flowers and plants planted. I looked up at the signboard, the name of the shop was "Forgotten". According to her, I had seen the two trees and the sign before, but I had no memory of it.

"The name of the store is a bit strange." I said. "I originally wanted to call it Forget," she said. "Forgot?" I said. "It's even weirder. Why did you choose it?" "If I ask you: Do you remember the name of my store? So whether you remember it or not, You will answer: forget. ’ she said, ‘that’s the best way to get your name right. " "why……" "Because I'm a strange person." Liyun smiled, interrupted my question, and then opened the door, "Please come in." The store door is on the right, and the bar counter is on the left as soon as you enter the door, extending straight to the middle of the house.

A three-foot fish tank is embedded in the inner wall of the front, and there are about fifty guppies and lantern fish in the fish tank, The green aquatic plants are dense and verdant, and several bright red red butterflies are dotted among them. There are some photos on the rest of the walls, about A4 in size. It may be that it is still early and there are no other customers in the store. I chose the innermost seat against the right wall and sat down, looking at the photos on the wall. She put a glass of water in front of me, handed me a menu, and said: "It's almost time for dinner, let's order a meal."

Looking at the pictures on the menu, it seems that they are full of exquisite simple meals. I found a sticker of "Rosemary Lamb Chops - Special Offer" on the bottom right of the Menu, and said: "Then the lamb chops with rosemary." She put away the Menu and tore off the small sticker that marked the special price. "Huh? How do you..." I was curious. "Rosemary is just for you," she said. "why?" "Because I'm a weird person." She smiled. She walked to the bar and explained to the female workers and students in the bar for a while, then went back and sat down opposite me.

"I want to talk to you," she said. "Please." "Have you remembered what to do?" "working hard now." "Think slowly, don't worry." She asked, "How is my shop?" "Your store is nice." I said, "The fish tank is beautiful." "Really?" She was very happy, "Remember to come here often after that." "Yeah." I nodded, "if you remember." She gave me a meaningful look and said, "I'll try to help you 'remember'." I thought she might say something strange again, so I stood up and said:

"Do you mind if I look around?" "Please." She also stood up. I walked slowly and looked at the photos on the wall, almost all of them were photos of life, very ordinary. There are photos of scenery, such as bicycles, middle school auditoriums, 7-11, hospitals, coffee shops next to parks, etc.; There are also pictures of a group of people riding on sampans and a dozen high school students holding bamboo brooms on stage. There is only one soldier in the back in the photo. "This picture looks familiar." I pointed to the picture of a large group of people standing by the lake. "That's a group photo from the last barbecue event." She pointed to the rightmost person in the last row in the photo, "Look who this is?" "Huh?" I looked closer, "Did Takeshi Kaneshiro participate in the barbecue event?" "You don't come here," she said, "That's you." "It's been a long time since I saw a picture of myself." I said, "I didn't expect that I look so much like Takeshi Kaneshiro." "I think you are more like Andy Lau." "To the point." I nodded, "I can only admit with tears in my eyes: you are right." A wooden three-tier bookshelf is embedded in the left rear wall, but there are not even half a book or magazine on the bookshelf. "There is nothing on the bookshelf, this is a realm." I said. "Do you remember at the barbecue, I said: I've learned a lot from talking to you?" she said. "Forgot." I was a little embarrassed. "You told me then that your eye pressure was too high. That's what I got." She smiled, "Now that you know that your eye pressure is too high, you should avoid reading for a long time. So I put all the books They've all moved away, and you won't be allowed to see them. " The working student happened to bring out the lamb chops with rosemary on the table, so I walked back to my seat and sat down. "Excuse me, do you have a knife and fork?" I looked around the table, only to see chopsticks and spoons. "No." "what?" "Except for special meals, the rest are simple Chinese meals, no knives and forks are needed." "But..." I looked at the whole lamb chop, not knowing where to start. "Don't you think a lamb chop hurts when you cut it with a knife or stick a fork in it?" I looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing what to say. "You have very sharp teeth." She smiled, "You can use your teeth to tear off sugarcane skin." "how do you know?" "Because I'm a weird person." I sighed in my heart, it seemed that I had to use my dexterous hands and sharp teeth. "Can I have dinner with you?" she asked. "Eat with me?" "Well." She said, "I just don't want you to eat alone." I was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. She seemed very happy, went to the bar to serve a meal, and then walked back to the table to sit down. We were very quiet during the meal and didn't talk to each other. She really just ate with me. Two tables of guests came in one after another, but she didn't get up and didn't stop eating, she didn't look like a boss at all. When I finished eating, she asked, "Is it delicious?" "Rosemary, with its cool minty aroma, is very strong, which is as good as the strong smell of mutton. It's a perfect match. ’ I said, ‘It’s delicious. " "Would you like a cup of coffee?" She asked after smiling. "I remember there was no coffee on the menu at all." "That's not a problem." She stood up, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee." She walks back to the bar and takes a jug of something from the fridge, I think it's iced coffee. Although I usually only drink hot coffee, but since it's a treat, don't be picky. After a while, she brought out two cups of coffee, and put one in front of me first. I picked up the coffee immediately, and heard her exclaim as the coffee slipped down my throat. "Ah!" I quickly put down the coffee cup and flapped my tongue, "How could it be hot?" "No one said it was iced coffee." "But……" My tongue was a little hot, and I slapped my tongue again before I finished speaking. She ran into the bar in a panic to get some ice cubes, and I stuffed one into my mouth. "Does it hurt?" She stared straight at me. I was taken aback. Her voice and tone and even her eyes were familiar. That's the girl in that dream I've had for so long. I was too surprised to speak. I didn't open my mouth until the ice cube in my mouth completely melted. She didn't speak, just watched me quietly. I tried to connect her with the girl of my dreams, but couldn't find a connection between the two. I was so flustered that I couldn't calm down to think or recall. "I should go." I finally decided to stand up. She got up and walked me to the door. After walking out of the store for a dozen steps, I realized that I forgot to pay, so I hurried back and walked back to the store. "Sorry, I forgot to pay." I forced a smile, "Fortunately, my memory is not too bad." "It's okay," she said. After I took out my wallet, I only glanced at it, and suddenly realized. "I finally remembered what to do." I should have blushed and whispered: "After paying the management fee, I have no money on me. I wanted to get the money first. But..." "Give it together next time." She smiled, "I won't charge you interest." "I'll get it to you right away, in case I forget." "Don't worry. I'll remember," she said. "You don't have to make another trip." "But……" "What you forget, I will remember." She smiled and interrupted me. It seems to me that this sentence has overtones. On the way home and in the elevator, the words she said kept circling in my mind: "What you forget, I will remember." After entering the house, I felt tired after taking a shower, so I lay down on the bed. Then I suddenly remembered one thing: what am I going to buy this evening?
