Chapter 298 The Second Date, Tired
Early the next morning, Zhang Xinglong rode his bicycle to Nanshan.

When three people go to Wukesong, they can't ride a bike. Chen Ying and Wang Hongxia are not very good at riding, and Zhang Xinglong's bike is too small to carry two people. Besides, there are all high mountains and steep slopes, so they can't ride a bike.

Locking the car downstairs at Wang Hongxia's house, the three walked along the dirt road above Nanshan to the Shendan Line, and then walked along the asphalt road to Wukesong.

There are quite a few people here who wake up to exercise in the morning. Along the way, you can always see men and women running, or men and women strolling with books.

The road winds and undulates along the mountain, and the morning breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of flowers from nowhere, blowing up the hair and skirts of young men and women in twos and threes by the roadside.

Zhang Xinglong looked at the boys and girls holding books in confusion: "Are they going to Wukesong to study?"

"Ah," Wang Hongxia replied solemnly, "It's so quiet over there, and the air is so good. You don't get up in the morning to read a book?"

"I watched it when I was in junior high school, but I haven't watched it now. How long does it take for them to travel so far to study here? Is there still time to study? Why don't you go to the school playground? Or watch it at home."

"I like this place. The scenery is so beautiful. You can smell how fragrant the flowers are. Go over there and sit under the tree by the river for a while, isn't it good?"

"Okay, it's good, that is, isn't the time spent in the aisle?"

"Then you won't come out? Why aren't you afraid of spending time on the road?"

"I, I'm not." Zhang Xinglong blushed a little, and glanced at Chen Ying, who had been lowering his head and pursing his lips while listening to Wang Hongxia and him quarreling: "I'm here to accompany you two."

"It's not like we can't find you if you don't come." Wang Hongxia glanced at him.What the hell, is it easy for my wife?This person is probably hopeless.

"What do you usually do at home?" Chen Ying turned to Zhang Xinglong and asked.

There was a distance between the three of them, Wang Hongxia walked on Chen Ying's left, now she took a step back but naturally switched to Chen Ying's right, pushing Chen Ying to let her and Zhang Xinglong walk together.

"Me? It's okay. I go to school and leave school. I just wash clothes and tidy up the house at home. My dad does the cooking. Or just go and play with my classmates for a while, and I have nothing to do. Now my mother Don't need me either."

"Can you still do laundry?"

"Ah, my parents are busy, so sometimes I just wash them when I don't have time. Now that there are washing machines, I wash them with washing machines instead of hand washing. I used to wash them by hand, as well as cleaning glass and mopping the floor. done."

"Then what are your parents doing?" Wang Hongxia asked in surprise.

"Go to work. My dad has to go to work and cook, and my mom has to stand outside for a whole day. My dad and I do all the work at home."

"You don't have brothers or sisters or anything?"

"Yes, my elder brother has joined the army, and my younger brother is still in junior high school."

"Just the three brothers?"

"Well, just three brothers, I don't have any older sisters."

"Why did your brother become a soldier? Now it doesn't matter what you are assigned to be a soldier. You can go wherever you come from. In the past, you could get an urban hukou, but now you don't even get an urban hukou. It's useless to be a soldier."

"You don't need to be assigned as a soldier?" Chen Ying turned to ask Wang Hongxia curiously.

In the past, when young people went to serve in the army on the [-]th or [-]th, they more or less reported the idea of ​​returning to arrange work, or being able to transfer their household registration to enter the city.This is also normal.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. The troops are being streamlined. Now the rural soldiers return to the countryside after they retire, and they don't have to assign work. It depends on performance, merit or something. I don't know the specifics. Listen to my dad and the others. Pass."

"My brother is a soldier of Bengang. He is a worker, and he joins the factory when he comes back. The years of service are counted as years of service."

"That's okay, otherwise it's meaningless to be a soldier now, why not do something at home."

"What you said, who will fight if you don't go to the army? The border is empty? Besides, you can still exercise." Although Zhang Xinglong has never been a soldier, his father, brother and classmates are all soldiers, so he can't listen Others say that being a soldier is not good.

"Why are there still wars now? The world has long been peaceful."

"You don't usually read newspapers? Don't you read the news? We have been fighting with Vietnam for more than ten years, don't you know? Besides, there are many places where wars are fought. How can there be no wars in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America? Do you think they are all the same as us? "

"Is it different?" Wang Hongxia was a little dazed.

"How can there be such peace, when will there be nothing on the border? If there are no soldiers, it will be long ago, so what."

Talking while walking along the road, this side has been going uphill. After the last point, people reached the highest point, and the road turned around and began to go downhill.

Standing on the roadside cliff and looking into the distance, the big river is shining in the morning sun, and the mountain is covered with a layer of green mist. Looking down from this angle, the winding road looks like a long blue-black dragon crawling on the ground. underfoot.

There are not many cars on this road, especially in the early morning, and it is rare to see one in an hour or two. There are young people on the road, and some are riding bicycles. Most of them are walking or running.

There are also single men and women, and I don’t know if they really came here to breathe air and read books after walking such a long distance.

After standing for a while, the three of them continued to walk downhill along the road. The goal was to go down to the bottom and turn around the bend in the mountain below, and then climb a gentle slope to the other side of the mountain.

Chatting gossip without saying a word, walking slowly.

When the three of them walked to Wukesong, they found that there were already people in the open space under the pine tree, not just a couple.Three people did not pass.

After walking a short distance along the road, the three of them turned around and walked back.

They walked all the way to Donggou Gate, because Chen Ying's personality was really boring, most of the time Zhang Xinglong and Wang Hongxia were talking, and she just followed and listened.I also don't know who is here to date whom.

Of these two, one doesn't know what to say or do at all, and the other is a boring jar, and everything has to be guessed by others.

Comrade Wang Hongxia said that the pressure was a bit high and she was tired.

Send Chen Ying to the door.

Their family lived in the middle of the second block from the highway, and a dog barked in the yard, barking hoarsely.

The layout here is a bit similar to the one-story house Zhang Xinglong lived in when he was a child. It feels very familiar, with dirt roads, public toilets, water pipes, boiler room and a small ditch in front of the door.

"I'm going in, I won't ask you to come in right now." Chen Ying waved her hand and glanced at Zhang Xinglong.

"Okay, let's go back and eat."

"I don't know what I did earlier." Wang Hongxia muttered

Chen Ying opened the door and entered the courtyard, Zhang Xinglong and Wang Hongxia walked out to the road together.

"Where are we going?" Zhang Xinglong was not familiar with this film at all.

"There is a small road over there, through it is my building."

Zhang Xinglong followed Wang Hongxia, crossed the road and walked into a dirt road that looked like someone had stepped on it. It was less than one meter wide, and it was close to the back wall of the machine repair factory. The road was made of bricks and tiles.

"Do you really do laundry at home?"

"Well, there's no need to lie about this."

"Then you're good. Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

"No, I used to go to school."

"You're still in school."

"In the past, Xiaobai, besides, this is not considered to be a job now."

"Then do you care about your family?"

"It doesn't matter, my mother still asked me if I was anywhere."

"Chen Ying doesn't like to talk, can you bear it? You have to take the initiative to do anything with her, and do what you have to do, you are so anxious."
