When I woke up in the morning, I found that it was just light outside, and Zhuang Qing was also awake. I asked her in surprise: "Why did you wake up so early?"
"I'm used to it. I've always been used to getting up early since I arrived in Beijing. There are so many things to do every day. When I first arrived in Beijing, I also participated in several training classes. Now I have to learn foreign languages and other things every day.
. Hey! I will regret the lack of books when I use them. I feel that my knowledge is too narrow." She said, and then she came and snuggled into my arms.
I was very happy because she knew her shortcomings, which meant that she had made rapid progress. But I was still a little surprised, "Why are you learning a foreign language?"
"Foreign languages are always useful. I am an actor now, and the possibility of communicating with foreign colleagues in the future is relatively high, so I think I should be prepared for this first." She said, and then asked me: "Feng Xiao
, what are your arrangements for today? How about I accompany you to visit the famous places in Beijing? "
I shook my head, "I want to see Zhao Menglei's parents today."
"They live in Beijing?" she asked in surprise.
I nodded, "This is a wish I have always had. I feel very sorry for Zhao Menglei, and even more sorry for her parents. Now that I am here, I should go and see them no matter what. But now I have encountered a dilemma.
thing, because I didn’t know what to give them. After Zhao Menglei died, I called them, but they said they no longer recognized Zhao Menglei as their daughter. I thought, no matter what, Zhao Menglei is their flesh and blood.
Ah, even if you are angry with her again, you won't care about her so much after her death, right? So I thought, Zhao Menglei must not have known what caused her parents to be so hurt before, so they are still in this state.
I can't forgive her. I am Zhao Menglei's husband, so I am also worried that they will not see me."
"Do you know where they live?" Zhuang Qing asked.
I nodded, "My classmate told me."
"Well, you, go buy them some regular things today, cigarettes, better liquor, tea and so on. Then go and see their situation and then deal with it. By the way, the most important thing before you go is
It's best not to call them and go directly. What do you think?" she said.
I said, "I think so too. Let's sleep a little longer. I'll get up at 8:30 and go to the mall to buy things after breakfast. You can go and do your own business. I may go back to Jiangnan this afternoon or evening."
"
She said: "Originally I really wanted to accompany you, but I didn't think it would be good. Feng Xiao, you must not let Liu Meng accompany you. After all, Zhao Menglei is their daughter, and they saw you with other women."
If you go, you will definitely be unhappy. This is human nature. Let’s do this, you can play for two more days, and I will accompany you to the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and Forbidden City tomorrow.”
I shook my head, "Forget it. There will be many opportunities to go to Beijing in the future. Let's do it next time."
"That's you, you're always worried. You should have fun after finally coming here. Why bother? Why make yourself so tired?" She sighed.
I smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that it's not good for me to be like this. But I can't control my mood like that."
She then chuckled in my ear, "In this way, if I am happy with you again now, maybe your mood will become happier. In the morning, you go to see Zhao Menglei's parents, and we will contact you in the afternoon, and then we will decide what to do tomorrow and the next day."
Itinerary. Do you think this is a good idea?"
At 8:30 in the morning, I got up on time. Zhuang Qing was still sleeping when I left. I was secretly ashamed because I disrupted her original schedule today.
Before going out, I left a note for her: Please go check out the room when you wake up. If I don’t leave Beijing today, I will contact you again. Zhuang Qing, I sincerely wish you better and better, and I hope you get better as soon as possible.
achieve my dreams.
I didn't eat in the hotel, I wanted to go out to eat something spicy. Although I have been in Beijing for less than two days, I already feel that my mouth is very bland. I am from Jiangnan, and I am only accustomed to Jiangnan.
food tastes.
Finally I found a dumpling restaurant with spicy seasoning.
While waiting for the dumplings to be served, I called Liu Meng and said, "I have something to do this morning. I will contact you after it is done."
"Feng Xiao, you..." She laughed "hehe" on the phone.
Of course I knew what she was laughing about, but I didn’t think it mattered, “Liu Meng, don’t be like this. Did you hear what I just said?”
But she continued to laugh, "I know, you came to Beijing this time just to see her, right? Hee hee! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come with you. But I'm very happy, because I also enjoyed what you gave me.
my happiness."
I suddenly thought of a question, "Liu Meng, is that girl not here?"
"Don't worry, she doesn't live with me. You don't know, I was worried about bumping into you when I went back to the hotel yesterday." She said with a smile.
I seemed to understand, "Liu Meng, I think you came back on purpose."
"You are so smart. I actually want to play with you with her. I know she won't object." She said with a smile.
I was secretly surprised, "Why did you say that?"
"She is that type of woman who is very forthright and has a very standard personality of our Jiangnan girls." She smiled, and then added, "Same as me."
I couldn't laugh or cry, "That's it. I'm going to do something."
"Then I'm going to play alone today. Let's go to the Summer Palace. If you can finish things early, just call me immediately." She said.
I agreed repeatedly, feeling slightly guilty in my heart.
After breakfast, I went to a shopping mall and bought two bottles of Maotai, two soft Chinese drinks, and a box of Tieguanyin. Then I took a taxi and headed towards the place where Zhao Menglei's parents lived.
This place is really hard to find. I spent a lot of effort and asked many people to finally find this place.
This place is incompatible with the city. It is an old courtyard, surrounded by high-rise buildings not far away. In a modern city, such a courtyard seems a bit uncoordinated. To be precise, this is a courtyard in the 1960s.
The building was built in the 1970s and was in the process of being demolished. When I entered this building, I saw a big word "Demolish" written in red paint on the wall.
I looked at the house number outside and made sure it was correct. When I stepped into the courtyard, I felt a breeze blowing. As I walked on the road, a group of thousand-year-old dwarf pines in the courtyard were close together, like a group of quiet children.
Several sweet-scented osmanthus trees look so natural and appropriate.
There was a burst of light music in the small courtyard. When I saw it, the old people were doing the sword dance. The sun filled the entire small courtyard, as if it was covered with a layer of gauze. There were many flowers planted in the small courtyard.
The fragrance exuded wisps, which immediately made me intoxicated. I suddenly felt that this small courtyard had a plain and unforgettable texture. I couldn't help but be deeply intoxicated in the subtle fragrance of this small courtyard. I suddenly felt these things inside.
The happiness of the old man and the laughter of the children. There is a kind of simple beauty here. This beauty is very touching. Because I remember my hometown and the small courtyard where my parents lived were like this.
I stood at the entrance of the small courtyard and looked inside, just watching quietly. Because I didn't expect that there was such a quiet place in this noisy and bustling metropolis, and at the same time I was a little scared. I had arrived here.
When I reached the place, I suddenly felt hesitant - I had the urge to retreat back. Fortunately, the warmth inside kept me in my tracks.
Maybe I stood here for too long, which immediately attracted the attention of the people inside. An old lady came over and asked me: "Who are you looking for?"
Because I was holding something in my hand, her eyes were not wary, but smiling. She was talking about standard Beijing films, and there was no trace of Zhao Menglei on her appearance, so I felt relaxed immediately. To be honest,
, I was worried on the way here, and after arriving here, the feeling of worry became even stronger.
I immediately said Zhao Menglei’s father’s name.
The old lady said: "Oh, you are looking for him." Then she turned around and shouted to the group of old people dancing swords: "Old Zhao, someone is looking for you!"
I hurriedly looked towards the group of old people, and immediately discovered who Zhao Menglei's father was, because I found that he was almost the template of Zhao Menglei. He walked towards me, and when he got in front of him, he kept looking at me, "Who are you?"
?”
He spoke Mandarin, but still had our Jiangnan accent.
"Dad, I'm Feng Xiao." I said.
On the way here, I kept thinking: What would I call Zhao Menglei’s parents when I met them? How would I introduce myself then? (To be continued)
