Good Luck Time - Chapter 11

[Chapter 11]

The next morning, Tao Sizhi’s mother, who had just returned from a trip, found chestnut cakes in the refrigerator.

At 10:02, she was wearing an off-white down jacket, carrying two large bags of vegetables that she had bought on the way back, and entered the door in a hurry, called Tao Sizhi and prepared to cook.

“Where’s your brother?” She put the dishes on the table and asked Tao Sizhi.

Tao Sizhi was playing games on the sofa, raised his head, and before he spoke, Tao Siyuan came out of the corridor, wearing long pajamas, looking a little slovenly.

“You’re young and you get up so late,” his mother said disgustingly, “When my dad and I were your age, I slept at most five hours a day.”

Tao Siyuan selectively ignored her words and asked, “Where’s Dad? ?”

“Going to the office.” She clipped her shoulder-length curly hair with a large hair clip, and went to the kitchen with vegetables, “I made an appointment with a client.”

Tao Sizhi’s parents are both lawyers, and they run a law firm in partnership with others. Place.

The law firm is doing well and has opened several branches in other cities in the province. The husband and wife have reached the age of retirement, and they are still busy with their affairs, but they are a little better than when they were young, and at least they have time to travel.

After a few minutes, she came out with the cake box, put it on the table, and said, “You can eat this cake. It’s a small piece of cake, the boss is a box, and there is no room for the food in the refrigerator.”

Tao Sizhi heard the words, and immediately He raised his head and warned everyone: “This is mine, you don’t want to eat it.”

“What kind of cake,” his brother walked over, glanced at it, and said, “This package looks familiar, when did you buy it?”

Tao Sizhi Jumped off the sofa, walked to the dining table, and took the box away.

Holding it on the sofa, he opened the lid, removed a spoon stuck to the side of the box, and ate the cake.

Tao Siyuan was still standing there, looking at him with a confused tone: “Why are you so stingy?”

Tao Sizhi hugged the box tightly, ignoring it, and kept eating. His brother glanced at him, then turned his head and rushed back to his mother in the kitchen: “Mom, is Yunshan fun?”

“Didn’t you go?” The fucking voice came into Tao Sizhi’s ears.

“No,” Tao Siyuan said inexplicably, “I haven’t been there.”

“Huh?” His mother came out with a handful of celery and said, “How do I remember you went, seven or eight years ago.”

“No .” Tao Siyuan denied it.

Tao Sizhi had already eaten up the cake, turned his head and saw the celery in his mother’s hand, and immediately said, “I don’t eat celery.”

“I know you don’t want to eat it, just don’t eat it. I steamed an egg for you and put it away. Carrots, steamed soft,” his mother told him.

Tao Sizhi was satisfied, opened the cake box, folded it, and put it into the recyclable trash can in the living room.

But his mother didn’t immediately turn around and go back to the kitchen, leaned against the kitchen door, thought for a few seconds, and suddenly said “ah”: “I remember correctly, it was your brother who was there with your client’s son, the one named Jiang. During the summer vacation between the second and third year of high school, right?”

Tao Sizhi raised his eyes, just to see his brother’s face changed.

“That was the first time my brother went out to the market without us. He said it was fun when he came back, but he still didn’t want to go out for a trip.” His mother didn’t find out, and then asked Tao Sizhi, “Brother, did you go to Yunshan Reservoir?”

“Go.” Tao Sizhi said.

“Mom, your celery is dripping with water on the ground,” Tao Siyuan interrupted them. “Hurry in.”

His mother looked down, and sure enough, she muttered, “Auntie will come to clean in the afternoon.” The kitchen is up.

Tao Sizhi’s mother doesn’t cook often, but her craft is much better than Tao Siyuan. Tao Sizhi had just eaten half of the cake, and he was not hungry, but he still ate a lot.

After the meal, his mother took out her camera and shared with them the photos taken during the trip. Tao Sizhi was next to her, with a distance of half an arm, watching her on the camera screen holding a silk scarf, posing in various poses against the wind by the reservoir.

Tao Siyuan walked around behind them several times, as if monitoring them.

Seeing a photo of the commercial street of Reservoir Plaza on the top of the mountain, Tao Sizhi stretched out his hand, pointed to the air, and said, “This place on the street used to be a bookstore, and I bought a book in it.”

“What book?” He said. Mom asked.

“Thomas Calculus.”

“Oh,” she said, “the scenic bookstore still carries this kind of book.”

“I searched for it for an hour.” Tao Sizhi said.

“You were looking for calculus in the scenic bookstore for an hour?” She turned her head, looked at him with wide eyes and asked, “What about your classmates, are you also staying in the bookstore like you?” She turned her head again. Looking at Tao Siyuan: “Brother, when you were at Mingde, why didn’t your classmates love learning so much.”

Tao Siyuan stood behind the sofa and didn’t speak.

“I didn’t stay,” Tao Sizhi told her, “they went to play.”

With a goddamn “oh”, he said, “Leave you alone.”

“He said we split up,” Tao Sizhi said, “at five o’clock. Come back to me.”

“It’s quite planned.” His mother smiled and commented.

“But he didn’t come,” Tao Sizhi added, “I waited until 5:30 when the bookstore closed and left.”

His mother was suddenly silent, and for some reason, she looked up at his brother.

Tao Sizhi was still looking at his mother’s camera and wanted to see some more pictures of the reservoir. Before his mother could scroll down, he stretched his finger and said, “Mom, I still want to see it.

” The down button was pressed a little too fast, and Tao Sizhi couldn’t see clearly, so he said, “Slow down.”

His mother stopped pressing, suddenly put away the camera, sat up straight, and asked him: “You didn’t wait for your classmates, where did you go?”

“Go to the chair behind the statue in the square,” he sat and watched The reservoir for a long time, “The reservoir is very beautiful.”

His mother was stunned for a while, looked up at Tao Siyuan, and asked with a bad attitude: “I didn’t want him to go at that time? Didn’t you say that your client’s son will take care of him?”

Tao Siyuan He didn’t tell her anything, looked down at Tao Sizhi and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me then?”

“Did he tell you that you had a good time?” Tao Siyuan asked.

“No,” Tao Sizhi said, “I am very happy.”

At the beginning of the trip, Tao Sizhi was really reluctant.

At that time, he ate at Jiang Ge’s house, and Jiang Ge told Mrs. Jiang that he was going to take a short trip to Yunshan with his friends for three days and two nights.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Tao Sizhi, and for some unknown reason, told Jiang Ge that she would agree only if he brought Tao Sizhi with him.

Tao Sizhi didn’t want to go, he immediately wanted to refuse, but Jiang Ge immediately said “OK” and dragged Tao Sizhi away.

He pulled Tao Sizhi upstairs, Tao Sizhi told him: “I don’t want to go.”

“I want to go,” Jiang Ge said, “so you should go too.”

“I’m not going.” Tao Sizhi refused again.

“I’ll draw the card for you,” he said.

“I already have a lot of cards.” Tao Sizhi said slightly proudly.

Jiang Ge looked at him for a few seconds, then asked him coldly: “You have so many cards, who drew them for you, yourself?”

Tao Sizhi was still reluctant, he took a step back and looked elsewhere, after a while, Said, “I don’t want to live in an unfamiliar place,” and turned to leave.

Jiang Ge stopped him, touched his arm with his hand, looked down at him, and asked, “Then I’ll be familiar with you, okay?”

Jiang Ge used an impatient tone that would make Tao Sizhi dislike it. , but strangely, Tao Sizhi did not resist. Tao Sizhi also looked at Jiang Ge, Jiang Ge and him looked at each other for a while, and then said, “As long as you want to be familiar with it, that’s fine.”

Finally, Tao Sizhi said to Jiang Ge, “The day after tomorrow, the Rose Garden will start the summer limited event. , there are a lot of cards, I want them all.”

Jiang Ge promised him the next second: “You will have them.”

The date of departure for Yunshan was August 3, and the weather was very hot. It takes 4 hours by car to get there.

They went there by chartered vehicle, and the cleanliness of the vehicle was relatively high. At Tao Sizhi’s request, Jiang Ge also sent him the information of the vehicle and the driver.

There were 8 people on this trip, Tao Sizhi only remembered Yang Xiao.

At 12 noon, they arrived at the hotel, and Jiang Ge and Tao Sizhi stayed in one room. After putting down his luggage, Tao Sizhi wanted to get acquainted with the hotel, but a girl who was traveling with him insisted on going to the reservoir.

In an unfamiliar indoor environment, Tao Sizhi always felt unsafe, so he couldn’t leave Jiang Ge, the only one he was familiar with, so he decided to go to the reservoir with them first.

Perhaps because it was too hot, there were very few tourists in Yunshan Reservoir that day. After they bought tickets and entered the gate, they walked on the commercial street without seeing a few people.

Tao Sizhi saw a chain bookstore, walked to the door, found that the layout inside was almost the same as the one he often went to, and didn’t want to leave.

Just as Tao Sizhi told his mother and his brother, of course Jiang Ge didn’t want to stay with him in the bookstore, so he made an appointment and would come back to him at five o’clock.

When making an appointment with Tao Sizhi, Jiang Ge looked absent-minded, so Tao Sizhi was not surprised that he did not wait for him later. He thought that Jiang Ge might have forgotten.

This is normal, and is a common occurrence in people with normal mental states (normal people).

After the bookstore closed, Tao Sizhi walked a short distance along the pedestrian street and saw a street sign with directions and some photos of the location.

Tao Sizhi fell in love with one of the photos, so he wrote down the route and walked to the viewing point. On the back of the statue in the square, he could overlook the entire water surface of the reservoir.

When he sat down on the chair, it was already evening, and the wind was blowing on him, and it was very cool. When the sun goes down the mountain, the water surface becomes beautiful, like an oil painting with only gray and orange shimmering, with hundreds of ripples, each with arcs and regularities that conform to the formula, which fascinates Tao Sizhi.

He has been sitting, looking at the lake.

Later, when it got dark, the scenic spot broadcasted music, which seemed to urge passengers to leave. Tao Sizhi still sat there, because the reservoir at night was also very charming, and he wanted to continue watching the ripples on the lake.

After looking at it for a long time, Tao Sizhi suddenly heard someone calling his name.

The sound was on his left, the volume was not very loud, but it was very close, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed the light source of the flashlight. He didn’t want to miss the lake and didn’t look left.

“Tao Sizhi.”

The man called him again, got closer, and said, “Tao Sizhi.”

He reached out and touched Tao Sizhi’s shoulder.

Tao Sizhi tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiang Ge, smiled happily at Jiang Ge, and took the initiative to tell him: “I’m looking at the reservoir, it’s very beautiful.”

Jiang Ge didn’t answer immediately, looked at him for a while, and said to him: “The scenic spot It’s closing.”

“We have to go.” Jiang Ge said again.

Tao Sizhi turned his head and looked at the lake for a while. Jiang Ge stretched out his hand and pulled Tao Sizhi’s wrist very lightly, urging: “Let’s go. Don’t you want to get familiar with the hotel?”

Tao Sizhi was a little reluctant, but still stood up obediently. Jiang Ge grabbed his palm and led him around the statue in the night.

Jiang Ge made a phone call while walking, and said softly to the other party, “I found it.”

That night, Jiang Ge accompanied him through the hotel, which took 2 hours and 11 minutes, and helped Tao Sizhi smoke before going to bed. card.

The limited cards are difficult to draw, and Jiang Ge has not been able to draw such a lucky person.

He let Tao Sizhi go to bed first, and when he woke up the next morning, Tao Sizhi had all the cards limited to the summer.

After having breakfast and updating the post, Tao Sizhi still wanted to go to the reservoir, but Jiang Ge did not agree and took him home in advance.

Tao Sizhi didn’t lie to Tao Siyuan, the reservoir is indeed a fun place.

But Tao Sizhi really didn’t want to travel anymore, he felt too tired to be familiar with the hotel.
