Back to the third grade

Chapter 127

The front gate of the zoo is very magnificent after several overhauls and widening.But its back door is still in an alley where only one car can enter.

This alley used to specialize in fresh products such as chickens, ducks and fish, but now there are still many small stalls selling this kind of food. The stall owners ride tricycles to transport chickens and ducks in bamboo cages and pile them on the road. By the way, people who have lived in this city for a long time are used to coming here to pick live chickens and ducks.The ones in the general vegetable market seem to be not as fresh as here.And there are authentic rural chickens here, the kind that are free-range.

But it is really famous for its pet cats and dogs. It is also the first group of people who played with birds and pigeons to form a market spontaneously.Compared with thrushes and other bird watching, pigeons were also included in meat dishes such as chickens and ducks in the beginning.Lin Mei had eaten stewed pigeon when she was a child, and felt that the meat was smoother and tender than chicken.

When the four of them came over, they could only push the cart in.There are no bicycles nearby, no matter whether they are tricycles, vans, motorcycles or bicycles, they are all placed indiscriminately.It's really worrying to park a mountain bike like Lin Mei's and the others here.

"Push it in." He Qi looked forward and saw that there were so many people moving around that he couldn't even see a crack, which made people wonder how they would get in in a while.

"Walk over there first?" He Qi asked.

It was getting dark, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.They spent a little time on the road, and they certainly couldn't walk the whole street.East or West?
"Which side is the dog?" Tu Haizhi stood on the side of the road and looked forward. He couldn't see or hear the dog barking at all.

Lin Mei tugged at him, and said in a low voice, "Ask the stall owners next to you to see if they know?"

She must know, but since there is Tu Hai, she will not come out.

Tuhai also studied outside for half a year, so he mustered up the courage to go.He asked them to wait here, walked to the side of the road, took out a cigarette, looked for an uncle who looked simple and honest, let him smoke, and asked: "Uncle, we want to see the dog, where should we go?"

The uncle laughed as he took the cigarette, and the stall owner next to him laughed, "Old Ma, tell the students quickly, I'll give you the cigarette."

The uncle cleared his throat, stood up and gave them detailed and serious instructions: "Go straight from here, until you reach the end, there is a dog seller. There are all kinds of dogs, but don't worry, just go shopping first, and don't take a fancy to any of them." Buy it, grind it with him, wait until it is dark, and they will go home soon, then the price will be easy to negotiate."

Tuhai Nuonuo returned with a nod, and even explained the tricks taught by the uncle in detail.Lin Mei thought with a smile, probably because of his tender face, he looked like a young student, but he was still pretending to be old, so the uncle said a few more words on purpose.

A few people walked in the direction pointed by the uncle. Along the way, they first saw chickens and ducks, and then fish. They ate carp, grass carp, eel, shrimp and crab, and then there were goldfish, one by one in a row of basins. It was densely packed.There were fish watchers and people asking the price nearby. A goldfish seller squatted there and shook his head and said, "This one is thirty, go out and ask, is there any other place with my price!"

He Qi snapped his tongue: "Thirty for one piece?!"

Zhou Yu understood a little and said, "That's a peony lion head. The price is really not expensive for this size. Someone in my dad's office gave me a tank. I heard that it costs a hundred dollars a piece. It should be a little bigger than this."

Beyond the fish are cats and dogs. Some cats are carried and sold, some are put in baskets, and some are packed in sacks.There are also those in small cages, which cost ten yuan more, buy a cat and get a cage for free.There are no well-known breeds of cats. When I met a stall owner with a white cat with mandarin duck eyes, he said it was a Persian cat.The price is not expensive, only thirty.

They have come such a long way, and finally see pets in the ordinary sense.Several people squatted down to watch, Zhou Yu held a three-flowered kitten and said to Lin Mei: "Why don't you buy a cat and go home?"

Lin Mei nodded and said, "It's simple. You don't need to walk it, and you don't need to teach it how to go to the bathroom. Now that there is still cat food, you don't need your dad to take care of it every day."

Zhou Yu really wanted to buy a cat and go back home. She told Lin Mei, "Actually, I just think my dad is too lonely at home alone. You don't know, I feel that my family is not popular when I go home this time."

Only then did Lin Mei know why Zhou Jie wanted to buy a dog so much.But the cat didn't look like a pet that people of Zhou's father's age would keep, so he said, "Why don't you buy a bird for your father?"

Zhou Jie thought about it and said, "My dad doesn't seem to like birds." She really didn't see what his dad liked.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Hao picked out a little white cat, but this time she learned how to do it. She didn't make it clear that she wanted to buy it right away as she did in the pet store just now. Instead, she picked it up and put it down and said, "Let's go over there to see it." Look, come back and buy again."

He Qi wanted to buy this cat for Zhou Yu, so he said excitedly, "How about I buy it for you?" The little white cat is so cute.

Zhou Yu grabbed the unrepentant boyfriend and walked forward, "I still have to watch the dog."

Tu Hai also asked Lin Mei in a low voice: "Do you like it?"

Lin Mei was afraid that he would also want to buy it for her, so she shook her head and said, "I have a dog at home." Then she also dragged this one away.

The last section of the street is dogs. There are more breeds than they thought. The most conspicuous thing is a black and brown Tibetan mastiff tied to the roadside. It looks like a lion cub. Even people who like it dare to stand far away. watch.

There are also many Jingbas and Pomeranians left, as well as native dogs, but there is no black back like Lin Mei’s family. Some stall owners heard that their family has a purebred black back. Even if they didn’t eat it, the stall owner said, “If your dog is born, I’ll take it, and I’ll give you [-] per dog.”

A dog on this street is only three to five hundred, and he charged two hundred, which is quite a good price.

Zhou Hao went around and didn't find any one. She still likes Alaska in that pet shop. She said, "Otherwise, a strong one like Lin Mei's is also fine."

Lin Mei thought of the dog factory that Qiangqiang owned. In fact, the relationship between the two parties has been a bit distant in the past few years. When they were close, they could ask if there was Alaska in the dog factory. Can.But the problem is that she really doesn't think it's a good idea to let Dad Zhou raise a puppy by himself.We all know how difficult it is to raise a puppy. They have to eat a meal every two hours, can't control their feces and urine, and are prone to diarrhea and illness. They don't get better until they are half a year old.

That's why she hesitated to tell Zhou Yu.

Turning back from the street, it was already dark.Both Lin Mei and Zhou Yu called home and said they would go back later, and the stalls on this street were also closed, and the street suddenly seemed much more spacious.

Tuhai asked: "Shall we find a restaurant to eat?"

Zhou Jie wanted to go home quickly, and some didn't want to eat out.He Qi looked at Zhou Qi, shook his head and said, "It's too cold today, it will get colder after dark, forget it, don't eat."

Tu Hai quietly asked Lin Mei: "Are you hungry?" There was a bamboo dumpling seller on the side of the road, "Buy me something to eat?"

Lin Mei dragged Zhou Jie over, so why not eat one for each of them.

Of course, neither of them picked out the money for buying bamboo rice dumplings. The bamboo rice dumpling stall also sells stewed pear water with brown sugar.Passers-by on the side of the road all turned their heads to look at the two couples on the side of the road. The boy was carrying the girl's bag and stewed pear water, and the girl was eating bamboo rice dumplings with both hands occupied.

Lin Mei didn't know how it became like this, and she and Zhou Ying smiled a little embarrassedly when they realized it, and stood on the side of the road.

The stewed pear water was a bit hot, and Tu Hai had to change hands while carrying it. Seeing that her hands were sticky after eating, she said, "Don't move, I'll get you some paper."

How did you suddenly become someone who knows nothing?

Lin Mei really put her hands together and waited for Tuhai to wipe her hands with a napkin, and after she finished eating, she drank the stewed pear water before Tuhai hurriedly ate his bamboo rice dumplings. It was easy to eat when it was getting cold. He wiped his hands with paper, Lin Mei thought for a while, and tentatively handed the stewed pear water to his mouth to see if he would drink it, and if he disliked her, she would take it back.

Seeing Lishui being handed over, Tu Hai looked at her hesitantly, and tentatively opened his mouth to reach for the straw, and when he bit it, he smiled.

"It's a bit hot, drink it slowly." Lin Mei said.

Zhou Que popped out a sentence: "Are you two sour?"

Lin Mei turned her head and saw He Qi went to buy a glass of pear water and drank it pitifully. Zhou Yu hadn't finished his own, and stared at Lin Mei with a blushing face: It's so boring!Just now when she saw her giving Tuhai water from pears, He Qi also looked at her, but she was ashamed to feed Tuhai like Lin Mei, so she pretended not to see it!
Tu Hai took Lin Mei's pear water a little bit proudly. He could drink the glass for two people, and he threw it in the trash can when he drank it. He Qi was still burning his tongue. Take it slowly and wait for him.

Tuhai left Lin Meila talking, and the street lamp fire poured down from the top of his head. Even if the street was full of traffic and noisy, it didn't matter to the atmosphere at this moment.

"When do you go back to school?" Tu Hai asked.

Lin Mei said honestly: "I want to go back early, there is an event before the school, I want to take part in it." She looked at Zhou Yu and He Qi and said.

Tuhai said: "Then I won't leave when the time comes, I'll see you off, okay?"

Seeing off at the train station is not romantic at all, it is crowded and tiring.Lin Mei hesitated and shook her head and said, "I guess my uncle will drive me by then." Then it would be inappropriate to call Tu Hai.

Tu Hai also thought of it a long time ago, and said without any discouragement: "I want to buy another number, and we can send text messages for a package."

"Then I will do it too." Lin Mei said, seeing Tu Hai smiling, she was also happy.

There are few network cables in the dormitory now. If she said that the two of them apply for a QQ account and use QQ to chat, then she can use her home computer, and Tu Hai has to go to an Internet cafe. It also costs more than a phone card.

The two of them didn't talk for the rest of the time, Tu Hai quietly held her hand, and the two stood hand in hand like this, a little heartbeat speeding up, time passing quickly and slowly when tense.

He Qi finally finished drinking the pear water, and his tongue was numb from the heat. After the two sent their girls home, the two teenagers would call to exchange their experiences after returning home.

Tuhai wondered if the four of them should go on a trip next year.

He Qi, "... isn't your speed a little fast?"

Tu Hai's mind is full of pink bubbles: "I want to plan first. If not next year, there will be the year after. Didn't Meimei go on a trip with Zhou Yu when she graduated? Then the four of us will go together."

"Is this called someone's nickname? Did they ask you to call him?" At Lin Mei's house today, I heard that the neighbor called Lin Mei's nickname, and Tu Hai immediately called him. Hurry up?!" in displeasure.Planning a trip now!This man is really annoying!

Tuhai laughed triumphantly.He also felt that after talking with Lin Mei, the relationship between the two seemed to be lubricated, and things went smoothly.I used to worry about possible problems in getting along with Lin Mei. For example, Zheng Kai disliked him and Lin Mei, saying: "You look after her now, that is a problem in this environment. For example, she is now She is good at studying, the teacher likes it, and the classmates love her, so she is not a bad person to look at. But when you two get along, she also gives orders like in the class, even a man can't stand it. "

At that time, Tu Hai was afraid that if Lin Mei had a strong personality, would he quarrel with her?If the two quarrel constantly, the relationship will gradually be exhausted, so it's better to keep a secret love and keep a good memory in the future.

But this rational voice didn't stay in his mind for too long. It should be said that after hearing Zheng Kai's words, he would worry about gains and losses for 5 minutes and 10 minutes, and then he would forget about it when he saw Lin Mei again.Afterwards, he felt that his head seemed irrational in this matter, and Zheng Kai could only sing bad news, so he asked He Qi to analyze it for him: Do you think I am too irrational?
After hearing what he said, He Qi burst into laughter: "Can you catch up with him first and then think about these things?"

Tu Hai suddenly realized: it was him who was talking about the unfounded worries!
Now, he felt that what Zheng Kai was talking about was letting go of P. Sure enough, talking about war on paper was not a good thing, and he had never dated Lin Mei, so what did he know?He shouldn't listen to a person who has failed in two relationships. Even if he has experience, he has failed experience, which is completely worthless.After dating, Lin Mei made him feel great, he didn't feel suppressed at all, on the contrary, he felt that he had never been so happy in his life!Think about how terrible it would be if he didn't catch up at that time!
