Chapter 20 Section VI

19 Zhou Zhou's academic performance was excellent in his freshman year, and he was awarded a scholarship of 600 yuan by the school. We treated Yang Yang to a buffet barbecue.Originally, Zhou Zhou and I were going to go alone, but since Yang Yang experienced the Shen Li incident, he has been depressed. According to my observation, he hasn't brushed his teeth or washed his face for at least three days. Smoking, looking up at the ceiling, I don't know what he is thinking.In order to comfort Yang Yang, I just asked casually: "Zhou Zhou has received a scholarship, I treat you to dinner, shall I go?"

Yang Yang jumped down from the upper bunk and said, "Go! I haven't eaten for three days." Then he began to wash and dress in a big way, and the air in the dormitory was much fresher because Yang Yang had washed his face and brushed his teeth. . Yang Yang shaved off his overgrown beard in front of the mirror and combed his hair over and over again. His earth-shattering behavior made us happy for Yang Yang's behavior of being a man again, and Yang Yang finally came back to life. In the self-service barbecue restaurant, Yang Yang didn't care about the sign at the pick-up area that read "No extravagance and waste, remember hard work and simplicity", and brought plates of meat, fruits, vegetables, and pastries to his table, watching the waiter dazzled, she He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, how many people are there, sir?"

Yang Yang pointed at me and Zhou Zhou and said, "Three." I saw that the lady wanted to dissuade Yang Yang from taking food endlessly like this but was too embarrassed to say so, so I said to Yang Yang: "Okay, let's do what we can!" Yang Yang said: "You don't know my actual situation, so where are you going?" Then he turned around and came back with a drawer of steamed buns. After sitting down, Yang Yang said: "Zhou Zhou, don't worry, I will be able to eat back the 38 yuan." The buffet is 38 yuan per person. Zhou Zhou ate the ice cream and said, "You take my share back."

"No problem." Yang Yang began to put meat into the pot, "Don't eat ice cream all the time. If you eat too much, you won't want to eat other things. Thank you, how much is ice cream!" Zhou Zhou said: "You can eat as much as you want, hurry up and pick it up, the meat is cooked." The red sliced ​​meat turned brown and sizzled in the frying pan, splashing oil everywhere. "Not only do I want to eat back your share, I also want to eat Qiu Fei's share." Yang Yang said to Zhou Zhou, chewing the meat in his mouth. "You don't need to eat my share, I will settle it myself." Not to be outdone, I rolled up my sleeves and picked up my chopsticks.

"The cafeteria must not make any money from you," Zhou Zhou said. "Hmph, I still want to make money, so it's a good thing if I don't lose money." Yang Yang stuffed another bun into his mouth, and the waiter next to him was dumbfounded when he heard what we said, with an angry but helpless face. In fact, cafeterias have a way of dealing with big bellies—by extracting profits from drinks—but what works for other people doesn’t work for us. When we first sat down, the waiter recommended drinks to Yang Yang and me. She listed a series of Chinese and foreign beers and liquors, but we declined without hesitation, because we knew the prices would be expensive.The waiter thought that he would get a profit from Zhou Zhou, so he asked, "What drink do you want, miss?"

Zhou Zhou replied with a smile: "Thank you! No, I'll eat ice cream." The waitress walks away disappointed. Yang Yang put all the meat on the plate into the pot and said: "This is Japanese and German barbecue. I'll go get some Austrian and Turkish barbecue. Zhou Zhou, do you want salad? I'll bring you a plate Come." Zhou Zhou said, "Eat, I don't care about my figure anymore." "That's right, you can't come here for nothing, even if you go back and be hungry for a few days!" Yang Yang went to fetch food again. I said to Zhou Zhou: "I see Yang Yang's complexion is ruddy, it doesn't look like he has been hit by anything."

Zhou Zhou said: "I didn't expect to recover so quickly, did he turn his grief into appetite!" "It's possible!" I said while lowering my head to eat the meat. "Then why are you so good at eating?" Zhou Zhou asked me. "I am happy for a happy life and a happy marriage, so I have a big appetite." "What are you two talking about?" Yang Yang returned with a full plate. "What about you?" "What about me?" "Say you slow down." "Because of this little thing, Ya Shenli hasn't reached the point where I don't think about eating and drinking for her, isn't she just a 'chicken'!"

"You don't want to find another one?" I asked Yang Yang. "Look for it if you have a chance, forget it if you don't have one." "Let Zhou Zhou introduce one to you." "Are there still good women in this world?" "How do you talk!" Zhou Zhou questioned Yang Yang with a smile. "Of course you are, I mean another girl." Yang Yang changed his words immediately. "Besides me, there is a woman from a good family, do you want to know her?" "Think! I really want to!" Yang Yang still did not forget to eat a piece of meat when he spoke, "Do you have a photo?"

"No, but I can help you get to know her. You are not allowed to bully her," Zhou Zhou said. "Don't worry! I can only be bullied." In the end, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t eat anything, especially Yang Yang, the meat had already filled our throats, but there was still a lot of food left on our dinner table due to Yang Yang’s high ambition and small-scale farmers’ sense of not taking advantage. It was written on the wall: "Remaining food on the plate, take away at a discounted price", which means that we have to eat the bitter fruit ourselves.

In order to avoid asking for trouble, Yang Yang poured all the food on the plate into the boiling hot pot, and we slipped away before they surfaced. After eating this buffet, Yang Yang had no desire to eat meat within three days, and just kept drinking tea. 20 The girl Zhou Zhou introduced to Yang Yang lived in the same dormitory with her, named Hao Aijia.Hao Aijia is pessimistic and helpless because her boyfriend from another school is looking for another love, and ignores her. In a few days, I have seen Hao Aijia walking around every corner of the campus holding Yang Yang's arm. Seeing that Yang Yang found happiness again, I am also sincerely happy for him. I know Hao Aijia, and Zhou Zhou is my girlfriend, that is to say, without me, the marriage between Yang Yang and Hao Aijia would be impossible to talk about, so now I can openly ask Yang Yang for cigarettes, and he Due to the relationship between us, I no longer concealed it, and had to respond to my requests, because I played the role of Yang Yangniang's family to a certain extent, and he seemed to call me brother-in-law or something.

After Yang Yang met Hao Aijia, he left early and returned late every day.Every night, when I was already sleeping soundly in bed, Yang Yang and Hao Aijia were still lingering in a dark corner of the campus; in the morning, when I was still sleeping in a dream that was still unfinished, Yang Yang was already fully dressed and went to find Hao Aijia It's breakfast.Even though Yang Yang and I slept on bunk beds, it was rare for me to see him every day when he was busy. The few times Yang Yang and I met happened at the gate of the girls' building, and it happened that we were all waiting for our respective girlfriends. During this period, the rehearsal of the band was temporarily suspended. I heard from the landlord that the public security organs are conducting a census of the rented population, and anyone with suspicious identities will be dealt with severely.In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, we have no choice but to temporarily suspend our efforts, and prepare to do our old business after the news has passed.Now we have enough time to spend with our girlfriends. One day, Zhou Zhou and I went to the teaching building for self-study, and saw Yang Yang holding a schoolbag and Hao Aijia looking for a seat holding hands. In my impression, Yang Yang hadn’t touched this schoolbag for at least half a year.When he was in class before, Yang Yang always went to the classroom with a pen and a notebook, but that notebook was not a notebook, it was just placed on the desk for the teacher to read.I remember the last time Yang Yang used this schoolbag, we went to the small restaurant downstairs and brought a schoolbag full of beer to drink. After Yang Yang and Hao Aijia got married, a lot has really changed, so why not me. Since I met Zhou Zhou, I suddenly became diligent. Even Zhang Chaofan said that my attitude towards life is much more positive. The obvious change is that I have reduced the cycle of washing my feet from five days to three days, and I have gone to the classroom to learn about this. For me, this thing used to be like menstruation and me—it has nothing to do with it, unless it is on the eve of an exam, but now this thing has become an indispensable part of my daily life, as important as eating. In the classroom, Zhou Zhou was writing the day's homework. The main purpose of my coming to the classroom was to accompany Zhou Zhou to study, but I couldn't sit around doing nothing all night, so I would bring Zhang Chaofan's finished homework to the classroom to copy. I spread out Zhang Chaofan's homework book on the desk, picked up a pen, and started to copy word for word. "Copy Zhang Chaofan's homework again!" Zhou Zhou could tell from the corner of his eye that whenever I write in the classroom, I must be copying my homework. "How do you know I'm copying my homework?" I said to Zhou Zhou while copying. I just copied my homework. I would write whatever Zhang Chaofan wrote. Considering what the answer is, it is basically pure manual labor, and you don't need to use your brain at all. "I've never seen you do homework yourself!" "I actually did my homework." "when?" "high school." "You have the nerve to say it!" "Why are you embarrassed to say that there were still several people copying my homework at that time!" "Look at the man they copied!" "What's the matter with copying my homework? Only when they copy my homework can they rest assured that there is nothing wrong." "Then how did you become like this now?" "I'm forced to be helpless!" "Won't you reform yourself?" "I have already been forced to be a prostitute, and it will be difficult to abandon the prostitute and become a good man!" I sighed and turned a page of Zhang Chaofan's homework. "In this case, you should give up on yourself. Don't say that I didn't help you when you fell into the quagmire. You didn't want to come up, and you are willing to fall!" Zhou Zhou turned his face and continued to do his homework. There is a pack of "Qiaqia" melon seeds in front of Zhou Zhou. She has the habit of eating while studying. I have criticized her countless times for this, and now I have to criticize her again: "Don't do things half-heartedly, you See how efficient I am, and see immediate results." I closed Zhang Chaofan's homework book, "I've already finished copying my homework." "Your efficiency is really high, you have to make up the exam after the exam!" Zhou Zhou did not accept my suggestion humbly. "Make-up exams are another matter. What I'm talking about now is the attitude of doing one thing. For example, for me, I will never finish copying homework that can be completed in two minutes while eating melon seeds in 10 minutes. Even if I copy Eating melon seeds alone for 8 minutes after finishing my homework." I always like to use myself as an example to serve as a warning. "Okay!, I won't eat melon seeds anymore." I still appreciate Zhou Zhou's correction after knowing his mistakes. "Now it's time for me to eat melon seeds for 8 minutes." I looked at Zhou Zhou's aggrieved look while eating melon seeds. Out of conscience, I peeled a melon seed and brought it to Zhou Zhou's mouth. She took a look and ate it. I peeled the second melon seed and brought it to Zhou Zhou's mouth. She ate it without looking at it. Zhou Zhou lowered his head again and ate the melon seeds I peeled for her for the third time. For the fourth time, I peeled another melon seed, and I emphasized the sound when the skin of the melon seed broke, but this time I brought the skin of the melon seed to Zhou Zhou's mouth. Zhou Zhou lowered his head casually, opened his mouth, and put It goes into the mouth. "Ah! I hate it!" Zhou Zhou hurriedly spat out the chewed melon seeds, and rained his fists on me. twenty one I asked Zhou Zhou: "Why did you choose this major when you applied for the college entrance examination?" Zhou Zhou said: "My first choice was Peking University. I didn't get enough points, so I came here." "Is this your second choice?" "Yes! It's also very good. It was a blessing in disguise to meet you." Zhou Zhou took my arm and leaned his head on my shoulder. In fact, it was me who was really blessed by misfortune. I got admitted to this school by accident and ended my absurd love life with Han Lu. Just when my life was like a pool of stagnant water, Zhou Zhou arrived as scheduled and brought me the hope of a new life. Surprised me.I firmly hold on to Zhou Zhou, the girl who passed by me, as if holding on to the happiness that I have never had before. Her appearance is like a spring breeze, blowing the ice and snow in my heart, revived my weather-beaten feelings, and brought me I brought a piece of prosperity, which made me deeply appreciate the warmth of spring.How do I make her happy with such an angelic girl, how do I take care of our relationship, how do I hold her close to me and make her feel safe? I do not know either. At one point, Zhou Zhou and I had a hard time thinking about how to address each other.We feel that being called by first name is too serious and does not convey our innocence and freshness. Zhou Zhou called me "husband" at first, but I think this title hinders my manly image, and always gives people a feeling similar to Li Lianying.Zhou Zhou changed his name to call me "the shopkeeper", but I don't open teahouses, sell big bowls of tea, and I don't give horseshoes or tin pots to people. I'm just a college student who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. This address was extremely inconsistent with my identity, so Zhou Zhou called me "man" again. I was very satisfied with this address, but within a few days, Zhou Zhou stopped calling me that. I asked why, she She said that this name was too vulgar and seemed uneducated, and she also said that she was not like Huniu, but a lady. I started to call Zhou Zhou "baby's mother", but I think this name is too unlucky. If one day Zhou Zhou really becomes the mother of a baby, it will be too late.I also called Zhou Zhou "mother and child", but Zhou Zhou didn't like me calling her that way. She said that we are human beings who walk upright and should not be confused with birds and beasts.I changed my name to Zhou Zhou "wife", but she always thought I was talking about someone else, and whenever I called her "wife", she asked me suspiciously, "Who is that?" Therefore, we gave up all names that are entangled with the identity of the characters. My name is Zhou Zhou "Hey", and Zhou Zhou calls me "A".On the contrary, my classmates gave Zhou Zhou some nice names. For example, when they wanted to say something about Zhou Zhou to me, they would say: "Your daughter-in-law..." or "Your wife, your mother-in-law... ..." If they met Zhou Zhou alone on campus, they would say with a smile on their face, "Hello, Mrs. Qiu." Zhou Zhou smiled sweetly and said, "I hate it!"
