The Pentium Era - South to North

As soon as Yilin and the others left, the sister-in-law in her forties came over immediately. Jiajia called her Ayu. Jiajia and Zhang Chen said:

"Brother Zhang Chen, let's go sit on the terrace."

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Sir, what do you want to drink?" Ayu asked.

Zhang Chen lets talk about tea.

The two people walked to the terrace outside, and Ayu followed them. There was a glass ceiling on the terrace, and two sofas and lounge chairs were placed side by side under the ceiling. Jiajia and Zhang Chen sat down on the lounge chairs. Between the two lounge chairs, there was A coffee table with a tea tray and a complete set of tea sets. Jiajia and Zhang Chen said:

"I also like to drink tea."

The water on the open stove was already boiling. Ayu poured the boiling water into the empty pot and warmed the pot first. After warming the pot, the water poured into the tea tray and leaked to the bottom.

Ayu then added two-thirds of the tea leaves into the teapot with a teaspoon. Boiling water was poured into the pot to moisten the tea. When the water was full, he used bamboo chopsticks to scrape off a layer of tea foam on the surface, and then poured the tea into the pot. Enter the tea sea, then pour boiling water into the pot, cover the pot lid, and pour boiling water on the pot lid to make the temperature inside and outside the teapot consistent.

While waiting for the tea to brew, Ayu put the six tea cups into the sea of ​​tea with bamboo clips, warmed the cups with the tea water just used to moisten the tea, and then lined up the six tea cups on the tea tray.

Then, she carried the teapot and slid it along the edge of the tea boat, that is, the tea tray, several times to remove any water droplets that may have remained on the bottom of the pot, lest these water droplets drip into the teacup when the tea was poured later. , this is commonly known as "touring around mountains and rivers".

After finishing the sightseeing tour, Ayu took the teapot and began to "cruise the river". The tea poured out from the spout and walked back and forth on the six cups, instead of filling one cup first and then the second cup. In that way, the cups were in harmony with each other. There will be different shades of tea from cup to cup. Ayu's speed of "cruising the river" is very skillful. The tea forms a curtain of water in the air. In a short time, six cups of tea have been filled.

Jiajia and Ayu said, go ahead, we will do it ourselves.

Ayu said yes, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she filled the kettle on the stove with water. After leaving, she walked back and took a blanket for each of them. In Haicheng in December, although the temperature was still It's only a dozen degrees, but at night, in high-rise buildings, when the sea breeze blows over, it's still a bit cool.

Ayu left here and quickly cleared the dining table. Xiaoyue had come back, but she didn't come in through the door, but through the nanny's special passage at the back, and was already washing in the kitchen.

The two people packed up the kitchen, and then they disappeared completely. The house was too big, as big as a forest. It was easy for people to hide in the dense woods. Only when Jiajia needed them, they would appear in front of you.

Zhang Chen and Jiajia drank tea cup after cup, and Jiajia continued to make and pour tea with skillful techniques.

Zhang Chen was sitting there, drinking tea while looking at Xiuying Port and Haikou Port Container Terminal on the other side of Wanlv Garden. The container terminal was very busy. A big crane was picking up a container from the ship and moving it in the air. , and finally fell on the flatbed of the container truck. There happened to be a ferry docking at Xiuying Port, and the people and vehicles were spit out continuously from their stomachs by the ferry.

Jiajia looked at Zhang Chen, then followed Zhang Chen's gaze outside. She smiled softly and said:

"I don't know why. I don't like to see any parks or the sea. I just like to see the pier. When I first came to this house, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw that I could see Xiuying Port. I bought it right away. When I get down, I like to watch people getting on and off the boat. Watching them reminds me of the first time I went to Hainan."

Zhang Chen also laughed, and he said: "I was eating earlier, looking at the light of the ferry on the sea, and I thought of it."

"Then are we really old?" Jiajia asked.

"I'm really old." Zhang Chen said, "When I think about the past, sometimes it feels like yesterday, and sometimes it feels very far away, so far away that I am not sure whether these are really my own experiences. .”

Jiajia smiled and said: "At least I can be sure that it's me who's sitting here now, and it's you who's sitting there..."

Jiajia remembered it and shouted, "I'm going to make a call. Brother Zhang Chen, please answer the call."

"Who?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Who else is there, Jianqiang? If he knows you are here, he will definitely be very happy." Jiajia said.

"Where is Jianqiang?" Zhang Chen asked.

"New Zealand." Jiajia said with a smile, "You don't know what this country bumpkin likes most now is playing golf. He travels all over the country and around the world. This time, he went to New Zealand with a few friends and women. .”

Jiajia dialed the phone as she spoke and pressed the speakerphone. The phone rang twice and Jianqiang's voice came: "My dear wife, what do you want me to do?"

"My orders are just to tell you that Brother Zhang Chen is here with me," Jiajia said.

"Who, who? Brother Zhang Chen? Brother Zhang Chen is at your place. Hurry up, call Brother Zhang Chen. You miss me so much." Jianqiang called on the phone.

Jiajia handed the phone to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took it and said to the phone: "Hello, Jianqiang."

"Okay, Brother Zhang Chen, you finally showed up, haha, how long will you stay in Haicheng? Wait for me to go back, wait for me to go back, let's have a good drink, it's been so many years, more than twenty years, right? "Jianqiang smiled on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Chen said yes, it has been more than 20 years, but I have to go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There are many things in the company.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we get in touch, we will definitely meet up soon. I will come to Haicheng often. By the way, Jianqiang, I also invite you and Jiajia to Hangcheng." Zhang Chen said.

"Okay, I go to Hangzhou and Shanghai often. The West Lake and Fuchun Shanju courses in Hangzhou, and the courses in Sheshan, Xiehe, Binhai and Lake Meilan in Shanghai are all very good. I have been to them all. I will make an appointment for a game when I come back. , Go to Hangzhou." Jianqiang said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, welcome, but Jianqiang, I don't know how to play golf."

"It doesn't matter, I can teach you, Brother Zhang Chen, this golf ball is similar to the marbles we played when we were children. It just goes into holes and sees who can hole in first..."

Jiajia took the phone from Zhang Chen and said to the phone, "That's so long-winded, hang up."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Jiajia and Zhang Chen said, "You can't talk about golf with him. When I talk about it, he talks a lot and says he won't be tired for several hours. I can't stand it."

Zhang Chen laughed and asked, "Are you two okay now?"

"We?" Jiajia said lightly, "We are not divorced, but we haven't been together for many years. When we were at Yilin's house, he lived in a room and I lived in a room. After the Yilin house was demolished, I moved in. Here, he lives in a villa on the west coast. We have the name of husband and wife, but not the reality of husband and wife. It has been almost 20 years since we were in the same bed.

"He is still a director in the company, but he never goes to the company, and I don't allow him to go."

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"You don't know what kind of person he is. When he goes to the company, he doesn't know how to do other things. He must be flirting with girls all day long, which makes the company a mess. I have made an agreement with him. I don't care what you do to other women. But You can't touch the women in the company, or the women who have anything to do with the company. To save some face for me, he is self-aware, so he simply asked not to go to the company."

Jiajia said, Zhang Chen couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't want to laugh out loud, but this relationship sounded a bit weird to him.

Zhang Chen said: "Do you have children?"

"There is one son, who is currently studying in Australia." Jiajia said, "But that is my sister's child, adopted to us."

Jiajia said and sighed: "It's me, I can no longer have children."

Zhang Chen said: "In this case, why don't you just separate and make your life better?"

"It's good for us to be like this. I don't need a man in my life anymore. What he lacks is not a woman. He changes women all day long. As long as he doesn't bring women around in front of me, I will never go there. His villa, when he was in Haicheng, he would come here for a meal every three or four days, and the two of them would talk. After eating, he would go back to his villa to sleep," Jia Jia said.

"No matter what I listen to, I still feel a little strange." Zhang Chen said.

"Everyone has their own life. You can't understand it without going deep into it. We are used to each other and feel safe and secure."

"Safe?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, we have experienced so much together. To put it bluntly, he has a few hairs and I have a few hairs. We are already familiar with each other. There is no need to guard against the other. Don't you know that Jianqiang? I like it. He was looking for a woman, but he was also very stingy with women. He made her pregnant. I asked him to give me 100,000 yuan to compensate her, but he refused and only agreed to take 20,000 yuan.

"Guess what, I went with 20,000 yuan, and finally got 5,000 yuan back, and proudly told me that after being scolded by me, it looked like that woman, she was my fucking person, that belly I was the one who made it big."

Zhang Chen couldn't help it anymore and laughed.

Jiajia also laughed and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, it's really like this. He is more guarded against those women than I am. I said you should either go out and have a child, but he wouldn't. He said these women and When they are together, they are all interested in his money. He is not that stupid. If he gives birth to a child, he will be trapped by that woman.

"He said that when women had abortions, he would personally accompany them to the hospital. Those women thought he was considerate and responsible, but in fact he was worried because he was worried that they would lie to him and say that they had an abortion, and then secretly give birth to the child. Come down."

Zhang Chen's stomach almost hurt from laughing. After laughing, he asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Jiajia said, "Didn't I tell you that I don't need a man now? Brother Zhang Chen, believe it or not, I haven't touched a man for more than 20 years. What man would do anything to me?" I'm physically repulsed by the act of being affectionate, and I feel like vomiting, let alone going to bed. Maybe, maybe it's retribution.

"Besides, this person, when he had no money, he knew very well in his heart that he knew who was really good to you and who was pretending to be good to you. He had a mirror in his heart. It was different after he had money. This mirror is blurry and you can't see clearly. Everyone you see is very kind to you. Your eyes are dazzled and you can't tell them apart, so you might as well not tell them apart.

"People in the past may have been better and not so utilitarian, but people nowadays have no limits. A little puppy of eighteen or nineteen years old will flatter you every day, saying that he loves you to death, and loves you to the death. Get out of here and go home to feed yourself. You actually love Grandpa Mao. Who doesn’t know? Tell me, Brother Zhang Chen, how come people today are so spineless?"
