After this conversation, the way Ning Weimin and Lan Lan got along changed somewhat.
It's no longer just about eating, drinking and having fun between them.
This girl was really touched.
Although I have not yet made up my mind to resume my studies.
But she was willing to spend more time telling Ning Weimin about her confusion about life and the obstacles in communicating with her parents.
Even about the future, time, life, love, independence, freedom, ideals...these are broader and more illusory topics.
Ning Weimin was neither impatient nor serious about Lan Lan's ideological issues.
In most cases, he just listens attentively, smiles, and does not refute.
The purpose is to let Lan Lan vent his feelings and express the sadness and confusion in his heart first.
When she has vented enough, she will discover the problem herself.
Because this is the confusion of youth, which is unique to young people and is a trouble that almost everyone will encounter when they grow up.
Given Lan Lan's age and her experience, she still doesn't know how ordinary and unimportant these troubles actually are.
Like most people, she always believed that her life should not fall into the same stereotypes as others, and she had to be different to be worthy of herself.
But in the end, time and reality will gradually make her realize how wrong she was.
Therefore, all Ning Weimin can do is listen.
Say what any older, well-intentioned person would say to this girl.
He does not force Lan Lan to choose. The point is to tell her that there is never the word "easy" in the adult world.
She must learn to understand her parents' difficulties.
You must also know that the prerequisite for making your own decisions is that you must know how to be responsible for yourself.
Whether she is willing or not, she must bear all the risks and consequences arising therefrom.
To be honest, the effect is actually quite good.
This is not only because Ning Weimin is essentially a middle-aged man who has experienced a lot.
And like a professional psychiatrist, he adopted a more correct method of persuasion.
More importantly, being a friend plays a vital role.
To put it bluntly, these principles are not something that Lan Lan’s highly educated parents do not understand, do not know, and have never said before.
But this kind of thing also means "medicine is not autonomous".
Because of different positions, different emotions, stakes and other issues.
Speaking it from the mouths of Lan Lan's parents is completely different from saying it from the mouth of Ning Weimin, who was completely aloof from the incident.
It's no wonder that this girl Lan Lan feels that Ning Weimin is thinking about her wholeheartedly, and she is fully convinced and admired by him.
In mid-July, Lan Lan finally decided to go back to class and prepare for the college entrance examination.
Not only did she spend her own money to enroll in a cram school, but she also planned to use her salary to buy some gifts for her parents.
It means I didn't tell my parents in advance and wanted to give them an unexpected surprise.
The rest followed Ning Weimin's advice without reservation.
So before the end of the summer vacation, Lan Lan didn't want to let down this last good time and wanted to have a big time.
To this end, she made many plans.
I want to go swimming, roller skating, climbing Xiangshan Mountain, boating on the North Sea, and having a picnic in the Old Summer Palace.
In order to thank Ning Weimin, she even acted as the host herself and invited Ning Weimin to have a Western meal at the Xinqiao Hotel.
Ning Weimin was naturally sympathetic.
So in order to give back and make Lan Lan happy, he not only tried his best to spend time with her, but also added a special project.
That is to take this girl who has never climbed to the top of the Great Wall to Badaling and truly become a "hero".
Because they were afraid of the crowds, they specifically chose a working day.
All Lan Lan has to do is issue a sick leave note.
The rest of the preparations were all handled by Ning Weimin.
For this reason, Ning Weimin not only bought a lot of food and drinks.
Beer, soda, canned food, fruit, sauced beef, ham, bread, melon seeds, chocolate, bubble gum... everything is available.
I also went to the taxi reception station on the west side of Qianmen in advance to make a reservation for a Warsaw brand car.
When the day of departure arrived, early in the morning, Ning Weimin took his driver to pick up Lan Lan at the appointed meeting place, and then headed north.
Needless to say, I really chose this day well.
There is a gentle breeze and warm sunshine on Badaling. There are indeed not many tourists, and half of them are foreigners.
Ning Weimin and Lan Lan were not only enjoying the scenery in the car but also laughing and joking.
When we arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, we were even more excited.
Together they carried food and drink on their backs, mixed in with the yellow-haired blue eyes, and climbed up the winding Great Wall in the distance.
But it was a bit difficult to get up. Lan Lan rested several times on the way.
This was not because he was tired, but because he was amused by Ning Weimin.
Dare to love Ning Weimin's belly is a grocery store, and the Internet jokes from decades later are too imaginative.
For people today, the amusing effect is completely explosive.
As a result, Lan Lan frequently choked up with laughter during the climb and had to sit on the steps to rest while holding her stomach.
After spending so much time, even though I came quite early, I ended up catching a late gathering.
It was almost noon before they were able to stand at the highest point of Badaling.
But having said that, the hard work is worth it.
At this moment, the scenery is picturesque and refreshing.
Especially if you successfully reach the summit, you will have the aura of being a "hero".
This made Lan Lan even more proud, and her heart was filled with indescribable joy.
Of course, fatigue is inevitable. After a burst of excitement, the two of them felt their calves tighten.
Needless to say, you have to take a good rest, eat and drink, and replenish your strength before going down.
In this way, they found a corner facing away from the wind and the sun, spread out the plastic sheets they brought, and sat side by side against the wall.
Then we took out food and drink and started the picnic.
But just when they were toasting with soda bottles, fighting over each other, and stuffing food into each other's mouths, they were having the most fun and the happiest time.
An accident ended it all.
Suddenly, from a group of people who were talking not far away, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over and stood in front of them in silence.
This man was wearing very high-end leather shoes, which were polished spotlessly.
It's just that the direction he was standing in was backlit, and the midday sun was too dazzling.
Although Ning Weimin and Lan Lan could see his legs clearly, when they raised their heads, it was difficult to see the man's features.
It took a long time for Ning Weimin to realize that in front of him was a middle-aged man in his early fifties with gold-rimmed glasses on his face.
He didn't recognize this person and was feeling strange about this person's serious expression.
Suddenly, Lan Lan's "Dad" came to his ears.
The shocked Ning Weimin turned around and saw that Lan Lan's eyes were wide open and almost straight.
His originally red face turned even redder, and he looked completely confused and nervous.
Wait until he turns back to look at the man.
Apart from the obvious observation, Lan Lan's appearance does seem to be similar to this person.
And he also felt the tremendous pressure from Lan Lan's father's gaze.
I'll go, it's not such a coincidence!
Looking at each other like this, even though he felt no guilt, Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He quickly stood up and said hello.
"Hello, uncle."
Lan Lan followed and stood up, stammering an explanation.
"Dad, this is, this is my... colleague from my work unit."
But it would be better not to say this.
He stumbled and lied, which made him look guilty.
This is entirely due to the fact that there are three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Ning Weimin glanced at Lan Lan helplessly, knowing that he would not be able to hide it from Lan Lan's father and would cause trouble.
Sure enough, Lan Lan's father once again looked at Ning Weimin warily with that steady gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.
He gave the order without hesitation.
"Young man, come with me."
Lan Lan lowered his head helplessly.
He seemed to be embarrassed by his father's attitude, but also felt a little sorry for Ning Weimin.
But speaking of it, Ning Weimin’s climb to the Great Wall was not in vain.
At this critical moment, I'm afraid any young boy would be frightened and at a loss what to do.
But he lived up to his reputation as a "hero" and instead had a warm smile on his lips.
He shook his head gently at Lan Lan and gave her a reassuring expression.
He held his head high and faced Lan Lan's father's sharp gaze and walked over.
Lan Lan's father was surprised by his extremely magnanimous and fearless spirit.
