Chapter 24 Chapter 23 Wei Na and Li Long

The old educated youths had spread gossip early on: Li Long from Mengze Farm was going to be transferred to Jingdu as the deputy mayor.Wei Na heard what Dai Qian said.She thought Dai Qian's news must be accurate.Sure enough, not long after, this winter, Wei Na saw Li Long on TV. Li Long is still white and clean, but he is no longer thin, he is already a middle-aged man with a little fat.Wei Na saw Li Long appearing on TV for the first time, and her heart couldn't help beating.Since that night, Li Long asked someone to ask her to go out and say a few words, and the two never met again.These years, Wei Na didn't even know about Li Long.He seemed to have fallen from the sky and became the deputy mayor of Jingdu City.

Dai Qian was as active as a magpie, chatting everywhere, asking some old educated youths to invite Li Long to a party.Wei Na said: "You go. I am a common man and I don't want to have any contact with them." Dai Qian said: "Who told you to play tricks? We're old friends, so we can meet each other, what's wrong?" It's rare for Wei Na to talk to Dai Qian Luo Suo, and she promised, but temporarily excused herself.She didn't want to see Li Long, for fear of making herself sad.Because of Li Long's appearance, she missed Zheng Qiulun even more.Li Long is Zheng Qiulun's best friend.If Zheng Qiulun survived, what would happen now?She was devastated all day long, and she didn't bother to take care of the company. She was locked at home every day, like a widow who lived alone.

On Sunday, Dai Qian called suddenly and said, "Weina, Mayor Li said to come and see you." "What's interesting about me?" Vera said. Dai Qian lowered her voice and said, "What's wrong with you, Wei Na? We're already on our way." Wei Na hurriedly changed her clothes and washed her face.After a while, the doorbell rang.When he opened the door, Li Long was standing at the door smiling.Wu Wei was actually standing behind him!Wu Wei also smiled.Wei Na felt in a trance for a while, and almost fell down.She barely held on, leaning on the door frame, and said, "Welcome everyone, please come in."

Dai Qian called from behind: "Weina, you are blocking the door, how can we get in?" Wei Na smiled and moved away.Along with them were two beautiful ladies, Wei Na guessed that they were Li Long's wife and daughter. "Weina, you really haven't changed much." Li Long held her hand and looked at her. Wei Na said: "You have changed, you have become a high-ranking official." Li Long introduced: "This is my wife, Zhu Min. My daughter, Mengze. Mengze, her name is Aunt Na." "Aunt Na is so beautiful!" Mengze came up and took Wei Na's hand, staring into her eyes.

Li Long hurriedly said: "Weina, don't mind, my daughter, no matter how familiar she is." Wei Na said: "Where, I like lively children. Mengze is really good-looking, let me see. He is tall like his father, tall, and has a face like his mother, beautiful. Teenage?" Mengze said: "It's already twenty." Li Long said: "The child is studying in Tsinghua University and is a sophomore. He has just had winter vacation." "Tsinghua University, it's amazing." Wei Na praised. Mengze said: "What happened to Tsinghua? Some of my classmates are as stupid as pigs."

Li Long scolded his daughter: "You have so many bad habits." Wei Na smiled and said, "Mengze, the name is so beautiful." Li Long sighed: "I can't forget those days on the farm." Dai Qian shouted: "Weina, just talk and make tea." Wei Na felt embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I saw Mengze so much that I forgot to make tea. Dai Qian, please forgive me, I want to talk to Mengze." Mengze suddenly said softly in English: "Auntie Na, I don't like Uncle Wu and Aunt Dai. Uncle Wu is gloomy, like a KGB. Aunt Dai is so noisy." Li Long blushed immediately, and scolded: "Mengze, don't show off your English in front of Aunt Na."

Li Long clearly heard what Mengze said, and Wei Na helped cover it up: "Mengze's English is very good, and his pronunciation is very accurate." Li Long looked at Wei Na, a little embarrassed.Wei Na smiled and said: "The children nowadays are good at English. It's not like our time, it was delayed." Dai Qian joked: "At our age, many people can't recognize abc. Wei Na is a rare species among our group." Seeing that Dai Qian was unaware, Mengze smiled complacently.Wei Na thought that this child must be willful, but also straightforward.No one echoed Dai Qian, so Li Long said: "I studied hard in college, and now I can understand the simple ones, but I can't understand the complicated ones. Many old educated youths told me that Wei Na's oral English is very good."

Wei Na said: "What is there to say? I can speak a few words of English, and I helped Qiulun." Li Long obviously deliberately avoided mentioning Qiulun, fearing that Wei Na would be sad.She said it herself, and Li Long sighed: "Qiulun, what a pity." "It's all over." Wei Na said with tears in her eyes. Li Long shook his head and said: "At that time, we may have been naive, but we were sincere, warm, and kind. We loved our country and hoped that it would be better. With conscience and intuition, you can know what is wrong. In fact, judging right from wrong sometimes does not require such a profound theory, only honesty and common sense are needed. However, it was an era when honesty was suppressed and common sense was blurred.”

Mengze opened his eyes wide, looked at his father, looked at Wei Na, and said: "What's the matter? As long as you talk about the past, you will shed tears. You will cry when you talk about happy things, and you will cry when you talk about uncomfortable things." How many tears can shed?" Li Long said to his daughter: "You, please be quiet." Mengze said in English again: "There is the most restless person here, why don't you talk about her?" Li Long was afraid that Dai Qian would understand, so he hurriedly said: "Mengze, if you are disobedient, I will not take you out from now on."

Mengze said: "I can find Aunt Na's house, I will come by myself." Wei Na protects Mengze: "This child is very good." Seeing that Zhu Min was always silent, Wei Na struck up a conversation with her for fear of neglecting her.Zhu Min just smiled and didn't talk much.Zhu Min has a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes, with a coat in his arms.Wei Na said to hang up her coat, but she refused.She looked like she was ready to say goodbye at any moment. Wei Na thought that Zhu Min might not be familiar with it, so she was a little cautious.He asked Li Long again: "Li Long, where have you been all these years?"

Mengze hurriedly clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, I came to Jingdu, and it's the first time I heard someone call Dad Li Long." "When I played with Aunt Na, you were still on an alien planet." Li Long said with a smile, "I have been working in Beijing after graduating from university. This time I came to Jingdu to serve as an army." Dai Qian interjected, "Using what I, Wu Wei, say, he is an expatriate from the capital, and he is gold-plated." Wu Wei always didn't speak, just echoed with a smile.Zhu Min just drank tea quietly and kept looking at Wei Na's house. Li Long said: "Weina, I looked for you later, but there was no news about you. I only heard that you went into business on your own. I kept thinking about what I said to you that year, which stimulated you so much. I don't know. You have been wronged so much. Wei Na, it has been more than twenty years, please forgive me." Wei Na felt sad again when she heard that, but she smiled slightly and said, "Where is it? I never blamed you, and I didn't blame you at that time. I was moved when I heard it. I thought Qiulun's friends were so kind to him. You Really a good friend of his." Li Long said: "That's because Qiulun has a charismatic personality. He was the central figure at that time. He is so precious!" Dai Qian smiled and said, "Qiu Lun was the Prince Charming in our girls' hearts at that time." "Prince Charming. He looks dark." Wei Na laughed. Li Long said: "The phrase "Prince Charming" was not popular at that time." Mengze asked: "How did you fall in love at that time? It was fun, right? Did you write Chairman Mao's quotations in your love letter?" This question made everyone laugh.Li Long breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Okay, Wei Na, you are doing well now, so I am relieved. Wu Wei, you are also old acquaintances. If there is anything Wei Na needs, you can help me a lot. " Wei Na hurriedly said: "Li Long, be your mayor well, and I promise not to say anything to you. It's not easy to be an official, I know. Remember us fellow sufferers, make a phone call, and take a walk when you have time , That's fine. I'm busy, I can't take care of it, and no one blames you. Let me tell you first, I won't disturb you. You are too busy." Wu Wei didn't have a chance to say anything, so he just smiled vaguely.Li Long said: "Weina, I specially arranged a dinner today, just a few of us get together." Wei Na looked distressed: "What should I say? I don't feel well these days, so I won't go. Let's get together." Li Long said: "It was specially arranged for you. You didn't have time to go to the old educated youth gathering last time." Dai Qian couldn't hold back anymore, and said with a smile: "Weina, you are worth enough. Mayor Li came to see you in person and invited you to dinner. But you don't appreciate it." Wei Na couldn't shirk anymore, so she had to go to the banquet.After going out, Li Long said to his wife: "Zhu Min, you can take Wu Wei's car, let Wei Na take my car." Zhu Min didn't speak all the time, but now he joked, "After seeing Wei Na, I don't want Madam anymore." Wei Na was embarrassed, but she really didn't want to take Wu Wei's car, so she said, "No, I'll drive by myself, it will be more convenient when I come back."
