Wujiaochang is composed of five roads including Xiangyin, Huangxing, Siping, Handan and Songhu. It was formed in the 1920s and 1930s. Five divergent roads were like cutting cakes, "cutting" the Wujiaochang into five corners.
There are many universities, factories, and troops around Wujiaochang. There are many bus lines with starting or terminal stations here.
Outside the Blue Sky Hotel is a traffic hub with traffic. There is a starting point 55 between the Bund and Shiliupu Wharf at the Siping intersection, and there is a starting point 9 trolley tram starting point on Handan Road towards Luxun Park in Hongkou.
The endless stream of people "comes in a hurry" and "goes in a hurry".
Teachers and students from Fudan University, Finance University and Tongji University will also gather along these two roads to Wujiaochang to "go to the market". Li Heng sat in the hotel and could hear the "symphony" composed of whistles, shouts, and car ringtones outside the wall.
There are also endless speakers that broadcast: "Road 55, towards Xinkaihe, passing Guoding Road, Guoquan Road, Tongji University..."; "Road 9, towards Luxun Park, passing Fudan University, Yunguang New Village, Da Cypress..."; and "Please buy tickets when getting on the bus and show monthly tickets!" and so on.
Well, although Five Corner Square cannot be compared with the prosperity of later generations, it seems to be moving towards the improvement of farmland to urbanization.
I ordered a table of stir-fried dishes and braised dishes, and ordered the signature braised chicken feet and meat buns from Blue Sky Hotel.
Seeing a customer holding a frosted drink, Sun Manning asked the waiter curiously: "Is that kind of drink also from your store?"
The waiter said in a standard tone: "Yes, Miss, our hotel has introduced a frost machine from abroad, and the frost drink is made from fruit."
Zhang Zhiyong spoke: "How much does it cost to drink that thing?"
The waiter replied: "1.6 yuan per cup."
"Hiss! So expensive?" Quexin cried out subconsciously.
No wonder he was surprised. You should know that the salary in his hometown is only 1.5 yuan a day. Such a glass of fruit drink with frost costs 1.6 yuan. Isn’t this a fucking robbery?
Grab money faster than grabbing a bank!
The waiter just laughed strangely, standing without saying a word.
Seeing this, Li Heng immediately said to the waiter: "Please help each of us have a drink."
Zhang Zhiyong hated others to look down on him the most and stared at the waiter: "Give me two drinks!"
The waiter smiled again and turned around and left.
Zhang Zhiyong stretched his neck and asked, "Mr. Heng, do I look like a country bumpkin?"
These words made Sun Manning laugh, "You have a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, and you still have two beards on your mouth. You look so naughty. Your clothes have not been ironed yet. You wrinkle one piece at the east and one piece at the west. Hehe, it really looks like you."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Zhiyong lowered his head and fiddled with his clothes. After a long time, he blushed and said, "I'm going to spend money later and buy clothes. I want to let the Shanghai people see the handsome guy who bought 10 sets of clothes in one go."
Seeing his unconvinced appearance, Sun's mother, Mai Mu, Mai Ophiopogon jerks all the time. After getting along all the way, I have already figured out what kind of person Zhang Zhiyong is. It's definitely true that his nickname is lacking in mind.
But let alone, after interrupting me with a heartless interruption, the atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly good. Everyone was chatting together, unrestrained and very relaxed.
Not long after, the frost drink came. Li Heng took a sip and felt that it was like that, and it didn't taste particularly good. The only thing that was refreshing was the coolness in his mouth.
But the others on the table are different. They have not received the baptism of various milk teas and roasted fairy grass in their later generations. The fruity flavor and milkshake are mixed in their mouths, which are refreshing and novel!
Li Heng found that everyone loved to eat on the table, including the local Zouping.
Including wheat ears, they all drank two sips in a row.
Seeing him looking at him, Mai Sui Rou asked, "Are you a little accustomed to it?"
Li Heng smiled and waved his hand: "No, I have to keep my stomach for dinner first."
Upon hearing this, Mai Xu turned her head and thought about it, put down the drink, indicating that she also kept her stomach.
The dishes were served and the table was filled. Although the price was a little expensive, and although there were no chili, the taste was really good. At least Ophiopogon japonicus and others could eat it, and their chopsticks kept going.
Sun Manning bulged his cheeks and said, "Huh! The food is delicious, if I add some chili, I will definitely eat half a bowl of rice."
This statement was recognized by everyone. Li Heng said: "It is easy to eat chili peppers. Then you can make them by yourself. You can eat as much as you want, and you can eat as spicy as you want."
Mai Sui heard what he meant, "Li Heng, are you planning to rent a house?"
Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked at him together.
Facing everyone's eyes, Li Heng did not shy away: "I just started writing the new book, I need a quiet new work environment. And I still have more than 140 books in Lao Zou, so I will definitely not be able to let go of the school dormitory."
This matter is related to the interests of the magazine and Zouping's dream of gold medal editor. Zouping was the most supportive and immediately patted his chest and said, "Old Li, leave this matter to me. I am familiar with it here. I will help you arrange it after dinner."
Li Heng really needs the help of the other party, but he didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Zouping paid for this meal.
In order to make a sigh of relief, Zhang Zhiyong rushed to pay, but Zouping took the initiative to pay the bill, "You came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange on the first day. As a local, how could I ask you to treat me to a meal? It's not reasonable."
Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyong walked around the hotel and gestured to Li Heng when he came out: "Mom! I remember that he was so arrogant. His surname was Shen. He was the first waiter to sign with the society at Blue Sky Hotel. Now he has reached the foreman position."
Sun Manning next to him asked teasingly: "What? Can't you swallow that breath?"
Zhang Zhiyong said viciously to the sky: "I want to be friends with her!!!"
Zhang Zhiyong's face was shaking when he said this!
Sun Manning teased: "I just observed that this man surnamed Shen is one of the best waiters in the Blue Sky Hotel. If you make friends with her, you will need capital."
Zhang Zhiyong spitted and said, "I'm afraid of a bird. My slut is making money in Zijiang Ri. If I don't help him lose his family, he will also use it on women's belly."
Li Heng, Mai Sui and Sun Manning looked at each other for a while, and laughed out loud the next second.
Ouch! It’s a little bit of a heartless tiger, but with him, everyone is quite happy.
Blue Sky Hotel, second floor private room.
Looking through the window as the group left, Huang Zhaoyi, who had been patient for a long time, asked: "Editor Liao, are all the guests Zouping hosted today from Hunan?"
The accent cannot be hidden.
Except for Li Heng's Mandarin, others have more or less strong regional tones in southern Hunan.
Especially Zhang Zhiyong, his speech characteristics are extremely obvious, and he feels a bit sensible.
Liao Hua replied: "It is indeed from southern Hunan."
Huang Zhaoyi further asked: "Shao City people?"
Actually, this question is easy to guess. If this group of people is not from Shao City? If this group of people does not have writers in December?
That's not worth selling so much as Zouping.
She also received Zouping’s dynamic information these days, so she specially asked Editor Liao to come here for dinner.
Today, it seems that I met Li Heng and his gang by chance, but it is not accidental at all.
Since Huang Zhaoyi was rejected two months ago, she has nothing on the surface, she should work, teach, perform on stage, eat, and relax.
But whenever I am free, whenever I stay alone at home, I feel so bored. The more I think about it, the more I get angry, and I feel so unbearable.
She thought too much, and she even suspected that the opposite sex in the past showed favor to her was because of her family conditions, not that she was charming!
Liao Hua put down his chopsticks and nodded.
Huang Zhaoyi looked at the gradually disappearing back again, pondered for a long time and asked, "Which is the writer December? That middle-aged man? Or that young man?"
Originally, according to the letter Li Heng gave her, she initially guessed Ophiopogon japonicus.
Ophiopogon japonicus is consistent with the description in the letter. A middle-aged man, his wife is in poor health and needs care, and his younger daughter is still engaged and cannot leave during the summer vacation.
However, there is something that puzzled her here: Ophiopogon japonicus looks quite straightforward, but lacks the aura of books on her body, but instead has a bold aura. Combined with her skin color, she looks like a person who has been running around and is full of worldliness.
This does not match her impression of the identity of a teacher and a writer.
On the contrary, the young man with a strong face not only had a gentle temperament, but also had a literary and artistic look all over his body, but also subconsciously took a step back as soon as he saw him, which made her suspicious.
Of course, the most important reason why she asked this was that when she tentatively sent Zou Ping an invitation to have dinner together, Zou Ping instinctively looked at Li Heng.
Based on this point, Huang Zhaoyi believed that Li Heng should be the most important distinguished guest in Zouping.
However, Li Heng is really too young. Judging from his age, he is about the same as his niece. Are "Living" and "Cultural Journey" really written by each other?
In order to communicate smoothly with the writer in December and resonate with the soul, she has watched "Living" seven times.
"Cultural Journey" made her love even more, and she was more surprised and loved than "Living". She would read and appreciate it when she had time in the past two days. Looking at the words that were too beautiful and overwhelming, the Mogao Grottoes, the Crescent Spring, the Dunhuang Yan, the Liuhou Temple and the Three Gorges, she had never been so happy.
But every time I feel happy, I feel distressed. This great writer has made a name for himself and denies himself before he meets him.
Every time she regrets this, she regrets sending photos to the other party impulse.
Otherwise, it would be hazy and I might be able to receive his letter on time.
Huang Zhaoyi confessed her inner thoughts in the mirror countless times: What's wrong with me?
Are you really attracted by the other party’s talent and writing?
Or was rejected and couldn't swallow this?
When people write letters to themselves, there is no ambiguous word, at most warm, but she likes this kind of faint and tender whisper that she never gets tired of reading.
Before going out today, she specially wore a pair of sunglasses, just because she didn't want the other party to see what she thought clearly. Through the letter, she felt that the writer December was a master who understood the hearts of the people, and she was inexplicably afraid.
Editor-in-chief Liao was a little confused for a while because he could clearly feel that Li Heng did not want to be involved with Zhaoyi further.
To be honest, he was quite depressed.
Zhaoyi has a good family background. She has beautiful and generous appearances. She has many suitors since childhood, but she has developed an unstoppable emotion towards Li Heng, who has never met before.
What's even more destined to make people feel that Li Heng is not only a circle smaller than her, but also quite resentful of it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Editor-in-Chief Liao sighed and said, "Zhaoyi, it doesn't matter who the other party is, what matters is your mentality."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Editor Liao paused and changed his voice and smiled bitterly: "You already have the answer in your heart, why should you ask me?"
Huang Zhaoyi said: "There is indeed an answer, but this answer makes me even more confused."
Editor-in-chief Liao was silent and understood the other party’s confusion, so he said: “On the day I returned from Dongting Lake, I took "Cultural Journey" to my teacher’s house.
After reading it, the teacher expressed his feelings, "There are talents in the country and the generation of new people have changed to old people. I really did not read the wrong person."
There are talented people in the world, and a generation of new people has replaced old people. Combined with their context, and combined with the noble identity of Mr. Ba who said this, everything suddenly became clear.
Who is the writer December?
The answers are all in the words.
Is it him?
Huang Zhaoyi suddenly felt very uncomfortable and fell into a long silence in the discomfort.
Then, I drank one cup after another, and did not eat vegetables or asked Editor Liao to drink together. I drank 8 small cups in a row before putting down the wine glass.
8 small cups of white wine, as much as half a pound.
Editor-in-chief Liao kept looking at her without any consolation, nor did he take the initiative to drink with her, nor did he disturb her.
Because he is also a cultural person, he can understand the coldness of the high place and the loneliness of Guanghan Palace. He finally met a person who was willing to give his soul.
The result is this.!
Don’t talk about your life experience, don’t talk about how excellent your own conditions are. In this kind of worldly relationship, the more you don’t accept your fate, the more you lose completely. It’s useless if you come, and it’s bitter if you come.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Another long time has passed, and Huang Zhaoyi, who is already half drunk, slowly raised her head at a certain moment, "Editor Liao, my business."
"I understand." Editor Liao didn't let her be embarrassed and nodded to say that she would keep it secret for her.
Huang Zhaoyi poured two more glasses of wine, put one in front of Editor Liao, picked up the glass and said, "Thank you, I'll toast you this glass."
Editor-in-chief Liao had no choice but to: "Zhaoyi, you can't drink it anymore."
Huang Zhaoyi smiled, raised her head and sipped her mouth.
Before he could withdraw, Editor Liao finished drinking.
Putting down the cup, Huang Zhaoyi calmed down, took out the sunglasses from her bag and put them on again.
Then she took out a Mercedes-Benz key and handed it to the other party, "I'm a little dizzy and can't drive anymore. Please give me it."
Editor-in-chief Liao nodded, took the car keys, and followed her out of the private room.
Mercedes-Benz is a 230TE model, which is imported. Even in a big place like the Shanghai Stock Exchange, if there is such a car these days, it is quite eye-catching.
It is even more eye-catching than driving a Rolls-Royce in later generations.
After closing the car door and starting the car, Editor Liao asked: "Zhaoyi, where are you going? Go home or?"
Huang Zhaoyi thought for a long time, leaned against the chair and said, "Send me to my sister's house."
Editor-in-chief Liao Mingwen, this is because she doesn't want to be alone at home, for fear of causing trouble.
After the car drove for a while, Huang Zhaoyi suddenly asked, "Fudan University?"
Editor-in-chief Liao nodded: "Yes."
Huang Zhaoyi didn't ask anymore, closed her eyes and started to rest.
On the other side.
After a short rest in the hotel, Maigui's family of three, Sun Manning, and Zhang Zhiyong went to Fudan University and visited the campus.
Li Heng didn't rest, and started looking for a house with Zouping.
Zou Ping asked: "Lao Li, what kind of house do you want to find? What are the requirements for the house?"
Li Heng had already considered these things and immediately said: "What is used to write is mainly to be quiet and safe, and not to be too far away from the school.
Finally, it is necessary to be cleaner. I can’t stay in a dirty environment, and it is easy to breed mice, cockroaches and other things, and I can’t accept them.”
After hearing this, Zou Ping thought about it for a long time and suggested: "Then let's go to the school first to see if there are any available rooms in the faculty and staff building. It is difficult to meet these three requirements outside.
At the intersection of Siping Road and Handan Road, there is an old building left over from the Japanese and puppet period. It has now become a military camp. It has to be practiced every day, which will affect you."
"Sure, let's go to the school first. If you really can't find it, then come out." Li Heng responded.
The two reached an agreement and drove a small bun and rushed directly to Fudan University.
The old school gate of Fudan is located on the west side of Yanyuan. It is an archway-style school gate. It was built in the 10th year of the Republic of China. In the early 1950s, the old school gate was demolished.
Soon, the new school gate located on Handan Road was completed, with a square flat roof, composed of eight square columns; the columns were red brick structure. There was a fenced iron gate in the middle of the school gate, and there were small bungalows on both sides.
There is no classical eaves and horns of other famous universities, nor the style of carved beams and painted roofs, and it looks very ordinary outside.
But it is Fudan University, and no one dares to underestimate it.
