"Old classmate, you're here!" Zhang Yan greeted me with a smile.
I nodded stiffly, and she hurriedly opened the shoe cabinet and bent down to take out a pair of women's slippers.
Because she was wearing a suspender belt, when she bent down, I instantly saw a hint of fair skin.
I quickly averted my eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Try it and see if it's smaller?" She put the slippers in front of my feet and said.
Without looking or saying anything, I put on my slippers and entered the living room, and Zhang Yan immediately closed the security door.
My heart also "thumped" with the sound of the door closing.
I don't know why, but I have a bad premonition.
Without thinking or looking at it, I asked her directly: "Which room's lights need to be changed?"
"Here, this room." She ran over, opened the door of the innermost bedroom, and said to me.
I walked over, looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, and asked her, "Are you changing the light bulb inside?"
"Well, I'll get the light bulb." She said and ran out of the room again.
Soon, he walked in with three special light bulbs in his hand.
I took the light bulb and asked her: "Is there a ladder at home?"
"No, can a stool be used?"
"Okay." I nodded.
So she enthusiastically helped me move a stool, and then I asked her for a piece of scrap cloth, spread it on the bed, and then placed the stool on the bed covered with scrap cloth.
After completing these preparations, I went to the door to turn off the main gate, and then returned to the bedroom to get on the stool and change the light bulb.
"Be careful! I'll hold you up."
I nodded, stepped on the stool, took out the old light bulb, and replaced it with the new one.
This is not a difficult task, but it may be a bit difficult for a woman.
I replaced the light bulb in less than a minute. After opening the main switch, I asked Zhang Yan to try it.
She exclaimed in shock: "Okay, okay, old classmate, you are so awesome! You got it done so quickly."
"Little things."
She hurriedly said to me again: "Thank you, old classmate, go and wash your hands quickly. I have already prepared the meal. Let's go after eating."
"No, I'll go back and eat by myself."
"Why are you so polite? We have been classmates for so many years. Don't be so outspoken."
I'm not being biased, I just think this woman is a little unkind. This is my intuition, and of course it may be false.
I still persisted and said: "No need, just change the light bulb. It's nothing."
Zhang Yan still persisted and said: "Oh, even if it's not about changing the light bulb, I still want to keep you to eat before leaving."
As she spoke, she pushed me to the bathroom and urged me to wash my hands quickly.
I was really helpless, of course I could just leave, but the problem was that it seemed like nothing would happen if I just had a meal, saving me the trouble of going back to do it.
After thinking about it, I decided to stay. After washing my hands, Zhang Yan had already served me the rice.
I took a look at the dishes on the table. They were quite rich, including boiled fish, braised beef, and pork rib soup.
Not to mention it looked delicious, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Zhang Yan hurriedly handed me the chopsticks and said, "You're welcome, eat."
I smiled slightly and said, "I'm not welcome then", then picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
Zhang Yan asked me again: "Do you drink? There is red wine and beer, which one do you drink?"
"No, I have to drive back later."
Zhang Yan didn't try to persuade me, so she sat down and started eating.
While eating, she asked me: "How is it? Does it taste good?"
"Well, it's pretty good." I answered simply.
"Then you should eat more. Anyway, I am usually alone, so I can't finish the food and it will be wasted."
"Aren't you married?" I looked up at her and asked.
"We divorced a long time ago. I have lived alone for a long time."
"Don't you have any children?"
"Yes, the child follows his father."
As Zhang Yan spoke, she picked up the spoon and gave me another spoonful of soup, and said, "Drink some soup. I have been simmering this soup for a long time. It is very nutritious."
"I'll do it myself, just do it myself." I quickly took the spoon.
"Oh, old classmate, you are really too polite. In fact, besides asking you to help me return the light bulb, I have one more thing to do today."
I was startled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that pen thing in high school?"
Of course I remember it. The thing that left the deepest impression on me in high school was undoubtedly that pen.
I smiled bitterly and nodded.
Zhang Yan added: "I just want to say sorry to you. I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was afraid of losing face, so I admitted that you stole it."
"It's okay. It's in the past. I won't even remember it if you don't mention it."
"Then I still have to apologize to you. I know you must have hated me very much at that time, right?"
"fine."
"Actually, what I have kept in mind for so many years is that I haven't heard from you, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you."
"It's all said and done, let's not talk about this anymore."
"I want to say, I know you still hate me, and I don't want to leave such a bad impression on you."
I smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I forgive you. Is that okay?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said with emotion: "After so many years, I didn't expect you to be so successful now. I really envy you."
"There's nothing to be envious about. If you knew what I have to face every day, you wouldn't think so."
"I know that with great power comes great responsibility. This is how a man should be."
Zhang Yan paused, then sneered and said: "Unlike my ex-husband, who has no ambition at all and only knows how to fish all day long."
"Everyone has his own way of living. I also like fishing."
Zhang Yan added: "It's not that fishing is not good, I also like fishing! It's just that he goes fishing whenever he has time. Do you think it's annoying or not?"
"That's quite annoying." I could only agree stiffly.
"Do you like fishing? Let's make an appointment to go fishing when we have time. I know a very good fishing place." Zhang Yan said hurriedly.
Actually I don't like fishing, I am a very impatient person.
I smiled stiffly and replied: "Besides, I'm quite busy during this time."
"I didn't say now, I said wait until you are free. Anyway, I have been in Chengdu."
Having said that, I thought of one thing and asked her: "You opened a hardware factory yourself, right?"
She nodded and said, "It belongs to my ex-husband. After we divorced, I wanted the factory, and he wanted the house, car and children."
"I think you, a woman, should have a house and children."
"They all say that, but I don't think so, because my ex-husband and I were running the factory together at that time, and I know how to run it."
"Then you are quite powerful."
Zhang Yan chuckled and said: "You are still not as good as my old classmate. You are the boss of a big company. How can I, the director of a small factory, compare with you?"
I smiled and didn't answer the question because I couldn't answer it.
After finishing the meal, I planned to go home. Before I left, Zhang Yan suddenly stopped me and said, "Old classmate, please wait for me."
