Chapter 11 In the rainstorm(1/2)
After noon on the 18th, the weather became extremely hot and muggy, and it was likely to rain heavily. However, Yang Jingxing still played a game of basketball with Zhang Yang and the others in the afternoon, using only the intensity that allowed his friends to have fun themselves.
It was only after five o'clock after playing, but the sky was already filled with dark clouds and the sun was no longer visible. The four of them were sweating profusely and went to choose a place to eat without taking a shower. They happened to meet Du Ling at her motorcycle shop.
They acted together. Of course Du Ling asked Yang Jingxing if he was interested in trying the car, but Yang Jingxing declined the offer.
Yang Jingxing has been playing motorcycles for a long time. When he graduated from elementary school, he got an old Suzuki from his uncle and went crazy for a year. Later, he begged his grandpa and grandma to drag back a Yamaha 125 from Quhang. He often got scolded and hated on the national highway.
Later, he finally broke his head and was very happy. From then on, his parents didn't even let him mention the word "motorcycle".
After dinner, the sky became overcast with dark clouds, as if it was dark. As I was aimlessly discussing what to do next, the raindrops began to gather densely, and soon it turned into a downpour, like countless
Thick water columns were shooting down from the sky, and the sound was scary. The rain was so loud that friends had to shout when talking to each other, and it was also accompanied by lightning and thunder.
This is the case in small counties. When it rains heavily, the number of cars on the road decreases sharply, especially taxis, not to mention such a rare heavy rain. After a while, Minzu Road is almost empty.
Lu Lin kicked Zhang Yang: "Why don't you ask Zhang Xuguo to send a car to pick him up?"
Zhang Yang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lu Fengren, Lu Fengren, come pick up your brother."
While these two were pinching each other, Du Ling revealed to Yang Jingxing: "Last time Zhang Yang gave Qi Qi his umbrella and he got in the rain. It was so cool." Qi Qi is actually the daughter of Zhang Yang's grandfather's brother.
Relative, there is a very cute girl.
Zhang Yang didn't want to pay attention to Du Ling anymore: "I like getting wet in the rain, isn't that okay?"
Du Ling pointed to the flooded road: "Go, go!"
Zhang Yang's eyes widened, he looked around, hesitated for a second, took out his mobile phone and money and threw them into Du Ling's arms, then rushed out, stood in the heavy rain, spread his arms, puffed up his chest and shouted to the sky:
"Brothers, follow me!"
Didn't he do this kind of thing in junior high school? Yang Jingxing also gave Du Ling his mobile phone and wallet, and threw himself into the rain with loyalty. Xu Weihao followed closely, and Lu Lin scolded Yang Fool while cleaning his trouser pockets.
The four idiots turned into drowned rats in an instant, and were looked upon by people from far and near. Du Ling laughed so hard that her high-pitched voice disturbed the diners in the restaurant.
The four of them stood in the rain and discussed for a while, and decided to go to Lu Lin's house to pick up the bicycle. It only took ten minutes to walk there. Du Ling had to wait for the rental here, and then met the boys at the post office.
Lu Lin had a mountain bike of his own and borrowed one from the concierge. Then Lu Lin took Zhang Yang and Yang Jingxing took Xu Wei and then went to Zhang Yang's house to pick up the bike.
The concierge looked at the four young and frivolous people and shouted uneasily: "Slow down, slow down, the rain is heavy and you can't see the road clearly."
Lu Lin refused to slow down and pedaled hard, reaching a speed estimated to be close to 15 per hour. He also scolded Zhang Yang for being too heavy. After having the experience of crushing the boat, Yang Jingxing certainly did not dare to use too much force and just kept up with his friend.
Two bicycles rushed in the heavy rain, and four people shouted and laughed as they rushed from Minzu Road to Daqiao Road. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the China Merchants Bureau, they were startled because Zhang Xuguo shouted: "Zhang Yang!"
Zhang Yang almost fell off the car, and his friends immediately stopped shouting. The four of them accepted a burst of criticism from their elders, admitted their mistakes and said some flattering words. Five minutes later, four bicycles were on the road. Zhang Yang was riding a bicycle.
*Recreational vehicle.
The rain did not weaken at all, but this could not stop Yang Jingxing and the others. Four cars rushed to the post office on Huanghe Road to wait for Du Ling who had not yet arrived. The terrain here was low and the water on the road was up to their ankles. The friends put the cars in
Kick as fast as you can, then put your feet into the water to see who can make the biggest waves.
After Du Ling arrived, she was arranged to sit in a taxi and follow her. The taxi driver laughed and envied his youth.
Four bicycles rushed in front side by side, with a minimum speed of 15 kilometers per hour. The taxis followed closely behind. From Huanghe Road to Daqiao Road, then to Jianshe Road, then to Yanhe Avenue, and finally back to Minzu Road.
It's almost a circle around the county town.
When they arrived at the east end of Huaxin Plaza, everyone was exhausted and already walking at a leisurely pace. Yang Jingxing suddenly shouted: "Sprint!" and suddenly increased his speed.
The friends used their last strength to catch up, roaring together like they were charging to kill the enemy.
After realizing that his friends couldn't keep up, Yang Jingxing stopped at the entrance of the cinema. The second one to rush was Xu Wei, leaning on a tree to catch his breath. After Zhang Yang arrived, he simply sat down on the steps, and Lu Lin followed suit.
, almost lying down.
"It's great!" Zhang Yang shouted with all his strength, but his voice was only half loud and lacked any heroic spirit.
Lulin Haha joked with friends, but the effect was very poor. Friends looked at each other's embarrassment and laughed. Hehehehe hehe haha is getting louder and louder, and those who watch each other can't stop.
The violent rain was still washing away the four friends who were laughing so hard that they couldn't breathe. Du Ling asked the taxi to stop in the middle of the road, hid in the car and took photos with her mobile phone, and kept them as a source of ridicule in the future.
There was a canteen next to the movie theater run by an old woman. She kindly called the four children: "Don't get wet, you have a cold. Come here and take shelter from the rain."
Maybe he had exhausted too much energy, so he was quiet for a while while taking shelter from the rain. Lu Lin knew everything and asked Yang Jingxing: "Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Yang Jingxing nodded.
Xu Wei regretted: "I haven't been back for a few days."
Lu Lin asked again: "Have you decided which school to attend?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "We'll decide next semester."
Zhang Yang thought the same thing: "Let's talk about it during the winter vacation."
Yang Jingxing stretched out his palms in front of his friends: "Come on!"
The friends all turned their heads away in disgust, but they quickly clapped their hands together and cheered each other on.
After the rain subsided, Zhang Yang and the others sent Yang Jingxing home first. Du Ling stopped taking a taxi and bought an umbrella, asking Yang Jingxing to take him and hold it for him.
Lu Lin and the others had nothing to say. Only Du Ling said: "Work hard, don't look for any princess, miss."
Yang Jingxing said: "If I hadn't met you, I would have had a girlfriend long ago."
Du Ling stared: "What do you mean?"
“It’s hard to avoid having a high vision.”
Lu Lin and the others all expressed their sympathy for Yang Jingxing. Du Ling raised her right leg and turned half a circle, as if this powerful sweeper could teach several friends a lesson from a distance.
On the 19th, Yang Jingxing went to visit his grandparents with his parents. After returning home in the evening, he packed up and prepared. In addition to his luggage, he also needed to bring some things for his aunt Xiao Shuyun in Quhang. Yang Jingxing's aunt is only one year older than Xiao Shuxia.
, but her daughter is three years older than Yang Jingxing. Her aunt and uncle opened a fabric company in Quhang, and after years of hard work, they are living a good life.
At noon on the 20th, Xia Xue and Liu Miao came to Yang Jingxing's house on time to see him off. Xiao Shuxia was very surprised: "Liu Miaomiao, why are you here?"
Liu Miao said: "Xia Xue and I went out to play."
Yang Chengyi was still concerned: "Is Xia Xue's foot healed?"
Yang Jingxing took the two girls to the fourth floor, took out his guitar, and said solemnly, "You are my first audience, who wants to be the second one?"
Both girls laughed, and Xia Xue said: "You are the first, and we are the second."
Liu Miao still didn't believe it: "Can you play? Haven't you stopped practicing for a long time?"
Yang Jingxing asked the two girls to sit down on the sofa, then he moved a stool and sat across from it, saying, "If you want to save face, sing along with "Cinderella"." He has been practicing this these days, and he is already pretty good. He can read the score in the book just once
If you remember it, put it in front of the girls now.
Yang Jingxing had been preparing for a while, but after he started playing, the sneer on the faces of the girls who were sitting upright and serious quickly turned into surprise.
However, Yang Jingxing played the melody, not the accompaniment, so the two girls didn't know where to start singing, so they just listened.
After Yang Jingxing finished playing it once, he complained: "Why don't you sing?"
Xia Xue moved her butt back, as if a little embarrassed: "Good playing."
Liu Miao's smile suddenly disappeared. She stared at Yang Jingxing with a frown and asked, "Are we really the first to listen?"
"Really, repay me and sing it again."
Xia Xue shook her body slightly, full of hope: "Let's start again."
This time Yang Jingxing added a prelude, and when the melody started, he gave the girls hints with his eyes, and kept tapping his head. Liu Miao started first, and Xia Xue finished half a beat. Fortunately, soon the two female voices and the guitar were barely in tune.
: "...I can give up anything, but it's hard to leave today..."
The girls were much more nervous than Yang Jingxing. After singing two lines, they all focused on the lyrics. The tempo was obviously slower and the voices were quite quiet. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing could still cooperate.
There were two mistakes in the middle, but the girls didn't notice and just sang one sentence after another, and Yang Jingxing made up for it in time. After finishing singing once, the two girls looked at Yang Jingxing, as if they were waiting for the contestant to be rated.
Yang Jingxing condemned: "I asked you to listen to me play, but now I listen to you singing. Why do you sing so well!"
The two girls laughed. Xia Xue put her hands on the sofa between her legs and leaned her upper body forward: "I forgot about it as soon as I started singing... but it should work well together."
Liu Miao looked at Yang Jingxing seriously: "You play it again and we will listen carefully."
This time, before Yang Jingxing finished playing, Xiao Shuxia went upstairs to urge her, so she had to end it hastily. Yang Jingxing said to the girls, "Tell me what song you like, and I'll play it for you next time."
The two girls nodded. Xiao Shuxia gave her son chestnuts to eat: "Bangbangbang!"
Coming downstairs, Yang Chengyi asked the two girls where they were going and if they could give him a ride. The girls said no and stood there waving goodbye to Yang Jingxing who was driving.
Yang Chengyi changed his son before getting on the expressway, but he still felt uneasy. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Quhang. His aunt's house was in a good neighborhood, a duplex building, and the rooms were sufficient, so Yang Jingxing and his family did not need to stay in a hotel.
We had dinner outside. My uncle’s name is Wang Jianhua. He drives a Passat and he laughs at himself that it’s not as good as an Audi. My aunt’s daughter is Wang Hui. She is a sophomore at Quhang University. She is not beautiful but very fashionable. When we chatted, I didn’t believe that Yang Jingxing was not there yet.
My girlfriend also said that I could introduce her to him.
After returning home after dinner, the two sisters Xiao Shuxia got busy. Xiao Shuxia put on display all the clothes and jewelry she had brought, and her sister also showed off her new collection.
Xiao Shuxia, who has a much better appearance and figure, also excels in this aspect. She has a large tourmaline diamond ring worth nearly 100,000 yuan, the necklace is even more expensive, the bag is also a new style this spring, and she has to buy clothes tomorrow.
The next day, the two families went straight to the best shopping mall in Quhang, where Xiao Shuxia was a gold card member. The three women spent the whole morning shopping, it was really brutal.
Xiao Shuxia still had to buy a suit for her husband, because the best suit in the family had already been worn at the last parent-teacher meeting, and maybe others would remember it. A suit of thirty or forty thousand suits seems to be just for the purpose of holding a parent-teacher meeting.
.
After having dinner, he took a good rest for two or three hours, and then went to the theater to watch "The Peony Pavilion". After two hours, Yang Jingxing realized that he had too little knowledge of music and beauty before. He had gone to see it several times with his mother before.
I played a lot, but there was no gain at all. Today, I felt too much.
Wang Hui also made fun of Yang Jingxing: "He looks at it so seriously that he doesn't even blink!"
Xiao Shuxia was still intoxicated and discussed with her sister: "She sang really well, she did a better job. It was better than the last time in Puhai, she is still the best!"
Xiao Shuyun is also a fan of stars: "I wanted an autograph last time, but I squeezed my head and couldn't get in."
What is especially enviable is: "How come you haven't aged after all these years!?"
