Chapter 40 City Pack (14)

In the evening of the second day, we modified a bit, brought two big watermelons, and went to visit my former teacher.In fact, their house is two buildings in front of our house. We found the button on the door frame and rang the bell.Amidst the "Happy Birthday to You" music playing suddenly in the room, Head Nurse Jing opened the door.She wears calico shorts and an old-fashioned blouse and pulls back the curtains on the screen door, and at the same time: Which one? I said: It's me, Head Nurse Jing. oh!Nurse Jing was full of surprises, turned her head and shouted: "Old Xiao, Lao Xiao!"

Teacher Xiao came over and covered his chest as soon as he saw us. He was shirtless and wearing a pair of shorts. It's outrageous!Teacher Xiao said: We are too outrageous!You wait a moment. We quickly said: It’s okay, it’s okay.In the summer in Wuhan, there is no gentleman in summer, everyone is the same. Despite what we said, they closed the door.After a while, the door opened wide, and Mrs. Xiao and head nurse Jing greeted us at the door in full dress.Teacher Xiao wears long trousers and a folded silk shirt, and Head Nurse Jing wears a beautiful, trendy yet dignified dress.Although the couple still wore slippers, they both put on socks.

In the warm atmosphere of handshake and hello, we were seated on both sides of the round table in the living room.In an instant, the table was covered with sliced ​​watermelon, frozen soda, frozen mung bean soup, cigarettes, and ashtrays.Over the past ten years, it seems that Mr. Xiao's family is progressing with the times.The housing conditions have improved from the original one-room room to two rooms and one living room. The parquet floor in the living room has been waxed, and the light is yellow and bright.A large double-door fridge was spotless and decorated with a peach tablecloth.The big color TV is showing a certain Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts movie, red, green and green are flashing, but the sound is restricted by Mr. Xiao.

Eat, eat, eat!Head nurse Jing said.She said to herself again and again: It's really exciting. Teacher Xiao said: No, it’s such a joy to have friends come from afar!Although we live not far away, in terms of time, it is too far away! I asked: Where is Xiao Jing? They replied: I went to work the night shift. Xiao Jing is nineteen years old. After graduating from junior high school, he took a nurse training class. Now he works as a nurse in a hospital. Teacher Xiao talks about his daughter with the same kindness and complacency as fathers all over the world. My husband and I looked at each other.I feel like my heart is like a scale, and one end is really put down.Oh, Xiao Jing is not Bayin, and the other end hangs up at the same time: Who is Bayin?

Head nurse Jing said, "Why didn't you come that day?"I warmed up the bouillon and you never came.I asked Xiao Jing to call you, what did you guess?Teacher Xiao can't remember your house number. I said: Same, we went downstairs, I just can't tell which building you live in. Teacher Xiao was confident: Look, the two of them are still complaining about me, saying that I am old.In fact, human beings have a common characteristic: it is easy to forget the most important things in a short period of time. Did you suddenly recover your memory under certain conditions? I said: Yes, in the grocery store, it was raining and I was wearing slippers.

Teacher Xiao became more confident: How about it?In recent years, I have been studying a related subject of human physiological phenomena.How old is it! Head nurse Jing said: His project was funded by the United Nations. I asked: Is the funding in US dollars? Teacher Xiao and his wife smiled embarrassedly. Head nurse Jing said: It doesn’t matter if it’s US dollars or not.You are the one who is promising.It's not easy to write articles and publish them everywhere!We have always used you as an example to educate Xiao Jing. I am humble and say: where is where. The conversation fell into the quagmire of the two sides flattering each other face to face, everyone was awkward, and the conversation froze for a moment.I haven't had the chance to meet each other for more than ten years, and I thought there were thousands of words, but in fact there were only superficial words.My husband got up and said goodbye without losing the opportunity: "Teachers, we are leaving. There are still children at home."

They said: Oh, if you have children at home, you will not be kept.Come here often. We say: come often.You are also welcome to sit in our house. They said: I must sit down, alas, what are you doing with the watermelon? Eat a melon in summer.Small meaning, eat a melon in summer.Seeing off guests with a smile, including Laughing and persuading the host to stay, mediocre etiquette damages sincerity.Why did I bother to take this trip today!I stopped and said: Oh yes, I want to see Xiao Jing's photo, today I mainly want to see her. Head Nurse Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, please come in again."

My husband said: next time, so as not to trouble them by changing shoes again. I said: You don’t understand, Xiao Jing is my favorite, I often braided her hair eight times when she was young.I pointed to a room with a concealed door and asked: Is that Xiao Jing's room? Xiao Jing's room opened.The most striking thing was a wall beyond her bed.The walls are full of colorful stills of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. Under each still are the names of the singers, their age, blood type, constellation, height, weight, shoe size and motto.Another colored pen marks the evaluation of the singer in front of the singer's face.Ange Tong: affectionate and dedicated; Anita Mui: sexy and changeable; Jiang Yuheng: indifferent and lonely; Grasshopper: lively and enthusiastic; Aaron Kwok: both singing and dancing.Around Aaron Kwok's portrait, there are words written in many pens: Dedicate special love to special you.Do you know that I'm waiting for you.Please allow me to give you ten thousand kisses!Looking at this group of singers is a girl whose photo is as big as a two-page daily newspaper.Below it reads: Bayin, tomorrow's superstar.

Bayin is wearing a long skirt and sitting on the water tank of a tall building.Her long hair fluttered, her skirt covered her feet, and her chin tilted slightly into the distance.Countless buildings are all behind her, making them look very small. Bayin!
