Chapter 35: Go to the city

Li Jianbo pulled Li Wei, and the two brothers and sisters appeared in front of Li Minghua and his wife.
Seeing their posture, Liu Chunzhi knew what they were going to say, but she still had only one sentence: "Do you want money."
Li Jianbo smiled and said, "Mom, we don't want money. I want to tell the old man, I will go to the city with Weiwei early tomorrow morning."
Li Minghua was surprised: "What are you two doing in the city?"
Li Jianbo said: "Weiwei has to arrive one day in advance if he wants to participate in the competition."
"Are you really going to toss?" Liu Chunzhi still didn't understand the brother and sister.
"Why don't the great opportunities go? It's rare that Wei Wei passed the preliminary round."
It's all at this point, and it doesn't seem appropriate to let them go.
Liu Chunzhi looked calm, Li Minghua lowered his head to smoke, and neither of the couple spoke.
Li Jianbo and Li Wei glanced at each other, unable to guess what the two elders were thinking.
After a while, Liu Chunzhi said: "I see, you can go down."
They just told them and didn't ask the two elders to make any decision.
Li Wei went back to the room to prepare things, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and a box of paints that he bought and used only once.
She took out the customized dress again, put it on and tried it on.
She fits well, but she is tanned, and this color makes her look unpleasant.
This is the only good dress Li Wei can wear out. She folded the skirt and put it in her backpack.
In order to prevent the weather from changing, I brought another long-sleeved shirt.
In summer, there is no need to prepare much, and the luggage is also light. A schoolbag can hold everything she wants to take away.
Everyone had breakfast early the next morning. Li Minghua and his wife went to work in the busy field. Li Jianbo took Li Wei onto the bus to the city.
It is said that it takes nearly four hours to go to the city by car. This is the first test for Li Wei.
The seats in the car were full, and Li Jianbo knew that Li Wei was going to be motion sick, so he took the initiative to give his sister the position by the window.
"If you feel uncomfortable, open the window a little to let the air circulate, it will feel better."
When the car started, the oncoming wind was very cool on the face, and the wind took away some of the unpleasant diesel smell, and there was no uncomfortable feeling in the stomach. It's just that Li Wei doesn't know if she can hold on until getting off the car.
"Second brother, where are we staying tonight? Are we going to the store?"
Li Jianbo smiled and shook his head and said, "We are all underage now, where can we go to stay in the store. Don't worry, I have already found a place to stay."
Li Wei said sincerely: "Second Brother, it's nice to have you by your side!"
"This is what I should do, who made me your brother."
The road conditions were not very good, and the car swayed, but this did not disturb Li Jianbo's sleep. About half an hour later, Li Jianbo was already dozing off.
Once Li Jianbo almost knocked his head, Li Wei moved a little closer to him and handed over his shoulder so that Li Jianbo could lean on her shoulder.
Li Wei looked at the boy in front of him sleeping soundly, and thought that no matter what trouble he encountered, as long as the boy was around, he could solve it. Having been in this era for so long, Li Wei felt very practical for the first time.
The broken hair that was originally equal to the ear has been cut into a flat head. The hair roots are a bit hard, and the light thorns on Li Wei's face are a little itchy and slightly tingling.
Li Jianbo wore a short-sleeved white shirt and dark brown trousers. There is no smell of sweat on my body, but the faint lingering scent of washing powder leaves my nose. The clean boy makes people feel very quiet.
The sound of the radio came from somewhere in the car, and a song was playing.
It is the song "The Look of You" that Li Wei has heard several times. Li Wei couldn't help humming in a low voice. The corners of her lips rose, and she looked very happy.
Li Jianbo woke up without knowing how long he slept. He opened his eyes and saw that Li Wei fell asleep at some point, with their heads leaning against one another. He carefully held up Li Wei's head, let her lean on his shoulder, stretched out his left arm, and wrapped Li Wei's other shoulder.
At one noon, the car finally stopped and they arrived.
Li Jianbo woke up his sister, and the two got out of the car one after another. Li Jianbo looked at the station that had been torn down and appeared in front of him again. There is really an illusion of going back in time.
Li Wei looked a little confused. She shook Li Jianbo's arm and said, "Second brother, where should we go now?"
"Come with me." Li Jianbo found a public phone, made a call, and then pulled her onto a bus.
Looking at the dresses of the girls of the same age in the car, Li Wei deeply felt that she smelled of earth, and she lowered her head with inferiority.
After the car stopped on a bus platform, Li Jianbo told her to get off the bus.
Li Wei was carrying his schoolbag, and the side of the schoolbag that touched his back gradually became wet.
They walked into a row of red houses and stopped at a gate. After a while, a middle-aged man came out on a bicycle. Li Jianbo hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, I am Li Jianbo. Teacher Chen's student."
The middle-aged man stopped the car, took a look at the siblings, and Li Wei followed Li Jianbo's name.
Uncle Chen split his mouth and said with a smile: "It's time to pick you up at the station. I didn't expect you to find it yourself."
Li Jianbo smiled and said, "You can recognize the characters and it's not hard to find, so I won't trouble Uncle Chen."
Uncle Chen pushed the car and asked their brothers and sisters to come home.
The surrounding environment reminded Li Wei of classmate Li Jianbo's home, the same red brick house with similar layout.
They followed Uncle Chen up to the third floor. Uncle Chen took out the key and opened the door: "It's empty and no one lives. I only cleaned it once I knew you were coming. It's okay to live for two days, although water and electricity are available. , But I can’t cook. I don’t even have rice at home. I will rent out this place next month."
Li Jianbo hurriedly said, "Just a place to sleep."
This is a simple set. There is a sofa and a TV cabinet in the living room. There is a TV on the TV cabinet. The only room has a bed, a mat on the mattress, two pillows, a towel quilt, plus a small bathroom, and the kitchen is on the balcony.
Uncle Chen confessed a few words, gave Li Jianbo the key, and left him a phone call.
Before leaving, tell Li Jianbo: "If you have anything to do, just call."
Li Jianbo repeatedly thanked Uncle Chen.
Li Wei looked around and found it was much cleaner compared to Li's adobe house. Although a little smaller, it is enough for their brothers and sisters.
Li Jianbo said: "You are starving, let's find a place to eat."
"Oh, okay." Li Wei put down his backpack, washed his face, and was about to go out with Li Jianbo.
