My 1979

"You have changed a lot." He stood next to her for a long time before saying this.

She tilted her head and asked with a smile, "What has changed?"

"She has probably become more mature." She gradually overlapped with the gentle and intellectual Zhang Wanting in his memory, but she became very different, but he really couldn't tell what was different.

"We are no longer children. Everyone changes one day. The biggest benefit of becoming mature is that you didn't get it before, but you don't want it now."

"Yes, yes, I just said that when I was a kid, I couldn't even eat a candy if I wanted to. I was so poor that I didn't have any. But now, people don't even bother to ask for freebies." He seemed to think of the past again, so difficult and unbearable. It's really not easy to get through it.

"Want to smoke?" She saw his hand in his trouser pocket, wanting to take it out but not wanting to take it out for a while. She looked very funny.

Li He was a little embarrassed, but he still said righteously, "I don't smoke anymore. I'm preparing to quit smoking. I'm still a little unaccustomed to it these past two days."

He knew that she hated the smell of cigarettes the most. Since she had just come back, why couldn't he coax her to smoke?

Zhang Wanting smiled and said, "Smoke, you can't quit smoking."

"I really don't smoke." You can't go back on what you just said now, because it won't kill anyone if you don't smoke. To show his determination, he took out the cigarettes from his pocket and threw them into the trash can. "When friends come over, I always have some cigarettes in my pocket. They all smoke. It's not good if I don't have cigarettes in my pocket."

She took a few more sips of tea before asking, "I heard you are no longer in school?"

Li He said, "What kind of future can the school have? One month's salary is not enough for me to pay for cigarettes and gas. You saw the car I drove there yesterday, and it ate a lot of gas. People go to higher places and water goes to lower places. Flow, isn’t it?”

He didn't want to tell his wife about his bad things. Li Laoer was also a face-conscious person.

Zhang Wanting said, "Hey, you are like this. Good things can turn bad for you."

Seeing that she was unhappy, he immediately changed his mind and said, "I am in business now. I have investments in Hong Kong, the United States, Singapore, and Malaysia. We will have no worries about food and drink in this life. Don't worry, I won't make you suffer."

He has already planned to invest in partnership with Guo Dongyun in Singapore and Malaysia, mainly focusing on gas station projects.

Zhang Wanting sighed and said, "You really haven't changed at all, you're still the same."

He chuckled and said, "If I change, I won't be me anymore."

"Why did your foot hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I strained it during morning exercise. It will be fine in a few days." Her sudden concern for him made him excited and a little incoherent.

"I've been busy all day. Sit down, why are you still standing there?"

"Hey." Just as he was about to sit down next to her, he remembered that nothing was prepared at home, "I'm going to buy food. I wonder if your taste has changed. What do you like to eat? I'm going to buy it at this market. It’s very big and has everything. It’s not like when we were in Wangershan before and it was difficult to eat seafood.”

It's been a long time since he tasted the food cooked by his wife.

But she shook her head slightly, "Don't bother, I came here on leave and have to go back to work, you know that."

"Oh, I know, I know, it's okay, it's okay." He couldn't wait to grab the words again.

"Then I'll leave first." She put her teacup down and stood up.

"Then let me see you off. I have a car and it will be quick."

"You have an injury on your leg. Just rest. I can just go to the door and take a taxi. There are plenty of cars."

As soon as the two people arrived at the door, they met Zhao Yongqi who was talking to Xiao Wei.

Li He said, "You didn't even say hello when you came."

"I just stopped by to take a look." Zhao Yongqi said to Zhang Wanting again, "I almost didn't recognize you in the last meeting, but it turned out it was really you."

She smiled and stretched out her hand, "Hello, Section Chief Zhao, I meet you again."

Zhao Yongqi also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "It's no big deal. They are all acquaintances. Just call me Lao Zhao."

Li He also echoed beside him, "Yes, yes, just call me Lao Zhao."

Zhang Wanting held up the sun umbrella in her hand, and then said, "You guys talk first, I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"I'll see you off." He limped behind her.

Zhao Yongqi couldn't help but sigh.

In the afternoon, layers of dark clouds rolled in. First there was a thin drizzle, then big "pearls", and then there were strong winds and showers. Thunder rumbled and rain fell.

He was worried about his wife Ma Jincai going to pick up the child, "I'll come and go."

Ma Jincai said, "You take a break after get off work. It's not the same as usual without you."

He said, "There are cars coming and going on the road. If you don't look like that, people can't see the cars, and the cars can't see the people. I don't trust you."

Besides, his wife is small, and it’s windy and rainy. If she raises her umbrella, she might be blown away.

She took shelter from the rain under a bicycle shed like a large group of parents at the school gate. Before her children could arrive, she happened to meet He Fang who had just come out of the teaching building.

He held up an umbrella and hurriedly walked towards me, "What are you doing here?"

He Fang smiled and said, "I'm at the Assets Department now. I'll come and take a look at the renovation of the school building here. You're picking up the kids, but your sister-in-law isn't here?"

"I'm not worried about the heavy rain. She keeps saying that she wants to treat you to a meal. It will be difficult for the children to go to school without you."

He Fang smiled and said, "Can we still be together? You say such flirtatious things to me." The two of them had a good relationship when they worked together in the maintenance room, and they had no scruples about talking.

"I went to Xiao Lizi's place in the morning." Zhao Yongqi finally couldn't help but tell the matter, "I can't tell him. There are some things I can't say to him."

He Fang smiled unnaturally and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Jingle bell, the school bell rang, and many students poured out of the teaching building despite the heavy rain.

Lao Zhao pointed at the figure rushing at the front and said, "I won't tell you anymore, my naughty kid is soaked in something."

Without waiting for He Fang to reply, he hurried over and held his son in his arms.

He Fang also turned her head and left the school. She walked with long strides, as if no one was around, and did not dodge on the way. There was rain and dirty water everywhere on the ground, and she didn't avoid it. Her socks and feet were all wet. The wind was getting stronger, and the umbrella in her hand swayed with the wind. She didn't straighten it, and before she knew it, the rain wet her clothes.

A taxi suddenly stopped in front of her, and the driver opened the window and cursed, "You bitch, you're going to die!"

She hurriedly said sorry and left in a hurry.

She finally couldn't help but cry. She thought that he was such a proud person, how could he be so humble and humble to the dust.
