They went to the shoe store to choose a few pairs of shoes, bought some daily necessities, and then drove to a western restaurant. Geng Zhiye was very anxious along the way. When he wanted to ask, Ye Fanfu reached into his heart: "I remembered."
Geng Zhiye suddenly couldn't help but feel strange: "It's rare."
"Speak nicely!" Ye Fan glared at him.
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Okay. Do you remember his name?"
"I——" Ye Fan coughed awkwardly, "I forgot about it."
Geng Zhiye was very disappointed, with a nonchalant look on his face, "You haven't even forgotten whether you talked or dealt with him in high school, right?"
"I don't have Alzheimer's disease." Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him and blurted out, "I talked to him before I left school."
Of course, she wasn't who she was at that time.
Ye Fan thought carefully about the content of the conversation, which was a bit awkward and seemed like an elopement. Then he thought that she was not her and that she had not apologized to Geng Zhiye, so she said confidently: "I still remember what I said."
Geng Zhiye looked at her with a doubtful expression, but almost didn't say clearly, make it up, keep making it up.
"Really. He asked me where to jump in line. I said to go to the Northeast." There are some things that I really can't say, otherwise the petty Geng Zhiye will have to be anxious with her, "It's a good place over there. You can beat roe deer with a stick and scoop out fish with a gourd."< br>
Geng Zhiye was confused: "That's it?"
"That's right."
Geng Zhiye asked: "Then you didn't go, and he didn't blame you for breaking your promise?"
"I - I'm not familiar with him. Isn't the fact that he didn't recognize me the best proof? Besides, I wasn't the only one who wanted to go." This is true. Ye Fan told the truth, "Including dozens of people from other classes."
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but probe: "Your mother said that you wanted to go to the countryside in the past. Is it because you have classmates as company, and you think it is glorious for educated youth to go to the countryside?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Absolutely. Isn't it honorable to plow deep into the Great Northern Wilderness?"
Geng Zhiye remembered what Cheng Zhenhua had said to him before. Could it be referring to this matter? Rumors spread that Ye Fan fell in love when she was in school, and she had to go to the countryside to continue her relationship with him.
So there is no first love at all? If that's the case, I'll have to find an opportunity to give Old Cheng a stone's throw!
If he doesn't do his job, he will fart every day, which makes him worry for so many years in vain!
Thinking about that person's appearance again, Geng Zhiye also felt that Ye Fan looked down on him.
When he sat down in the restaurant, there were several young men and women around him, and Geng Zhiye suddenly thought that many of his comrades had retired and had big shoulders and waists, and they looked like cooks. Even their own mothers and fathers couldn't believe that they were handsome and well-dressed in their twenties.
Geng Zhiye asked: "He was not like he is now, right?"
"No." There was no way to hide this. There seemed to be a group photo of her high school classmates at Ye Fan's parents' house. Ye Fan said: "To use a commonly used saying, he is a handsome young man."
The man was handsome, the woman was young, how could he not be cremated? Geng Zhiye chuckled, "You——"
"Wait, don't talk yet." Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but tensed up his body, looked calm, and asked as if talking about everyday things: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fan said "Shh" and lowered his voice: "Stop yelling and look behind me in the direction of the door."
Geng Zhiye slowly raised his head, pretending to look for the waiter, but saw the father and daughter he met in the skin care store coming in hand in hand. Geng Zhiye was confused and blinked. The two separated their hands. The man pulled out the chair and the young woman sat down. She didn't look like a father and daughter. If Geng Erbao dared to let him serve like this, he would have to kick him back to the diplomatic department.
Geng Zhiye held his breath - he was worried about being discovered by them, and when he saw the young woman facing him smiling coquettishly and ordering food, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, hissed, and asked in disbelief: "Are you reading that right? ?”
"I also wish I was blind." Ye Fan felt very complicated. Even if she is no longer her, she doesn't want to see the person who had the ambition to become a leader in the past become like this.
Ye Fan didn't believe that this old classmate was not married.
Being unmarried in your forties these days is considered deviant, and it is impossible for Ye Fan to be unaware of it.
Ye Fan has often visited his parents' house over the years, and met several old classmates during this period. One of the wives was arguing with her, so he hid and wandered around and happened to meet Ye Fan. He was not familiar with Ye Fan, and after a few words of greeting, he probably had no one to talk to, so he told Ye Fan that he only had one son, the son of an educated youth who got married after returning to the city and was less than ten years old. Should he buy a house for his son?
The premise is that he and his wife do a small business and don't have much money. The house is a welfare house in his parents' unit. If his parents don't agree, his wife wants to buy it.
Ye Fan only said one thing: "You won't be able to buy one even if you want to buy it when your parents retire."
The old classmate also said that the house was far from home. Ye Fan suggested renting it out. If the business is not good one day, you don't have to worry about being left with nothing. He thought Ye Fan's words made sense, and he didn't expect Miss Ye to be willing to pay attention to him. He felt that Ye Fan's temper was better than before, so he exchanged a few words with her. He was not surprised to hear that Ye Fan's husband was a soldier, and he didn't say that so-and-so was not married yet.
Later, when Ye Fan went to the city hall to do some work, he met a female classmate. She chatted all day long when she was in school. She knew how many rat holes there were in the school. It was impossible for her to change her gossipy nature as she matured. She didn't mention today's person to Ye Fan. It can be seen that in her opinion, there is no need to mention each other's well-being.
As the saying goes, poor and humble couples suffer from everything. Ye Fan's old classmate had a lot of clothes and places to visit. Based on what she has seen and heard over the years, a woman would be too lazy to bother when she has nothing to worry about about food and drink. In his case, it is very likely that the man will leave. Maybe we haven’t left yet! Besides, given his age, he must have children. He is busy spending time with his wife and family, so he certainly doesn't have time to spend time with his children.
Whether it was cheating or being born without education, Ye Fan was disgusted.
Geng Zhiye saw that Ye Fan's expression was wrong: "What are you thinking about?"
"He is a completely different person than before!"
Geng Zhiye was disappointed: "That's it? Talents like me are unique!"
Ye Fan was speechless, and his complicated mood was instantly diluted.
Geng Zhiye wanted to say something else, but couldn't help clenching his fists.
Ye Fan was curious: "What do you want to do again?"
“See for yourself!”
Ye Fan turned around. The young woman took her old classmate's hand and moved it to her cheek. The two young men and women at the table next to her were not as tired as they were.
Geng Zhiye clicked his tongue: "This lesbian is not simple. With her courage, there is nothing she can do. Even if she works as a salesperson in your company, she can become the best seller. Isn't it comfortable to make money by yourself and use it at home?"
"Salespeople travel around in the sun. What a great job. They make money while drinking red wine and eating Western food with the air conditioner blowing."
Geng Zhiye couldn't understand: "I believe you had nothing to do with him when you were in school." He paused and sighed, "You two are not the same person. You are destined to be with me."
Ye Fan was glad that he didn't say too much, otherwise he might have teased him with that mouth.
Geng Zhiye took another breath. Ye Fan asked in a low voice: "Is it over yet?" Geng Zhiye motioned with his eyes to let her see for herself.
Ye Fan turned around again, and the woman was on the man's lap. Ye Fan couldn't help gasping. A man and a woman by the aisle looked at Ye Fan when they heard the sound. They suppressed laughter and explained in a low voice: "We are not like this. This is the first time we have seen someone like this in a restaurant." I'm afraid Ye Fan was because of the woman's Age makes the mistake of thinking that young people are so bold and open-minded.
With sharp eyes, Geng Zhiye saw Ye Fan's old classmate's hand moving to the woman's buttocks, unable to sit still any longer: "Ye Fanfan, if I can't survive it, change seats."
"As for it?"
"Why not?" Geng Zhiye pointed to his arm, "If you don't change it, I will."
Ye Fan saw his hair standing on end and goosebumps, his eyes widened in shock, and then he waved to the waiter.
Then she and Geng Zhiye moved to the corner. She couldn't see the two people and couldn't hear their voices, but Geng Zhiye could see their profiles clearly.
Geng Zhiye couldn't stand it, so he looked left and right, only this side was hidden, and asked the waiter: "Is there a private room?"
The waiter knew why he asked and looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, sir. We can give you a dessert."
Geng Zhiye didn't expect an unexpected gain, so he ordered a meal for three people.
The waiter was surprised: "Is there another one?"
Ye Fan wanted to pretend that he didn't know him, he was stupid - he thought the waiter was smart enough to give him a tip. Ye Fan said half-truthfully: "He has a big appetite and can't even finish one serving."
The waiter took one look at Geng Zhiye's cropped hair and dark green top and nodded clearly, then immediately reported to the store manager that he had sent out a dessert without permission.
The store often prepares some small desserts to appease picky customers. The store manager did not blame the employee, but she could see clearly that the man and woman just changed seats and did not make trouble unreasonably. There was no need for the store to spend extra money: "What's going on with this table?"
"I think there are no private rooms in the store. I see that the bag the lady is wearing is of a famous brand, and the jade bracelet on her hand is so pure that it looks fake. The man looks like a military officer. The temperament of the two of you is very similar to that of the military compound you mentioned. "Their friends should be either rich or noble." The implication of the waiter's words is that they may bring many customers.
The store manager nodded: "Well done!" He patted him on the shoulder and delivered the dessert himself.
Ye Fan pushed it to Geng Zhiye: "You should give me some advice first."
Geng Zhiye took a sip and his mood improved: "Why is it the same flavor as the one you bought for Dabao and Erbao?"
"The materials and craftsmanship can have several flavors." Ye Fan was curious about what he said, "I'll give it a try."
Geng Zhiye took a spoonful and put it to her mouth, staring into the distance, like a paparazzi who was afraid of missing any detail.
Ye Fan was speechless: "You still look at them if you think they are annoying?"
"I'm curious. I've only heard of looking for my father before, but I've never seen it with my own eyes, especially when one of them is your classmate -" Geng Zhiye let out a cry of pain in his feet and complained in a low voice: "Murder your husband?" Ye Fan: "It's you Too boring.”
Geng Zhiye hummed, and when the waiter came up with snacks, he asked if they had any Polaroids and wanted to keep a souvenir with Ye Fan. It's not the last meal. Ye Fan didn't believe him: "Don't cause trouble!"
"How dare I." Geng Zhiye said pitifully, "I still expect you to support me."
If the waiter hadn't noticed that he and Ye Fan looked like a couple, there was not much age difference between them, and he couldn't help but think wildly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, but it belongs to the store manager."
Ye Fan drew a fifty card, and the waiter panicked: "It's too many."
"The rest is for you to buy water."
The waiter had seen tips in movies, but he felt that it was insulting for the customers not to take them seriously and just throw a piece of money around. Ye Fan's statement made the waiter very happy and said: "Thank you, sister."
Geng Zhiye glared at him: "What nonsense is this? She is older than your mother!"
Ye Fan stepped on his foot, Geng Zhiye's face twisted, and the waiter resigned with a smile.
Then two steaks were served, and the store manager also sent Polaroids. Geng Zhiye asked Ye Fan to cut the steak, and he clicked three pictures of "Father and Daughter Love".
The waiter brought the third steak over, and when he saw Ye Fan holding the cut steak in front of Geng Zhiye, he couldn't help but cursed: "They are indeed an old couple, they don't care who cuts and eats them."
Ye Fan waited for the waiter to go away and couldn't help but said: "Okay."
"The last two." Geng Zhiye took a photo of Steak and Ye Fan, and then another photo of them together.
The waiter brought the fruit, Geng Zhiye returned the Polaroid, stuffed the photos of him and Ye Fan into his bag, and handed the other three to Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn't know why: "What are you doing for me?"
"Leave a souvenir."
Ye Fan wanted to embarrass his face, almost deliberately causing trouble for her.
Little did he know that it was not over yet, Geng Zhiye asked again, "Do you feel that time is like pig feed?"
Ye Fan didn't want to talk to him.
“Have nothing to say?”
Ye Fan sighed: "Isn't it boring?"
"It's not boring!" Geng Zhiye thought that he could come to Western restaurants more often in the future, and he had reached the age where ordinary couples hate each other and can't help but develop other relationships - maybe they would meet Ye Fan's male classmates from college or junior high school, and by chance You can also see the main wife fighting against the concubine.
Ye Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Check out!"
"Do you want me to go there in person?" Geng Zhiye waved to the waiter. The waiter took the money and asked for change. Ye Fan said, "He's bothering you a lot, so it's just a fee for running errands."
Geng Zhiye nodded.
The store wouldn't take the money the waiter earned based on his skills. He was very happy when he heard that and walked the two of them to the door in person. Seeing the car not far away, the waiter thought to himself that it was indeed a rich man, so he ran over and opened the door.
Geng Zhiye glared at him, thinking he was too attentive.
Ye Fan handed him the car keys, and Geng Zhiye walked around to the other side and got in the car. Ye Fan took out his notepad from his bag, tore off a piece of paper and left the address and phone number of the sales office: "If you want to change to a stable job, go here."
The waiter was stunned and took it subconsciously before reacting: "You, what do you mean——"
"You are very smart, but too smart." Ye Fan said with a smile, "It's not a shortcoming. This is not a very respectable job. If you can't stay here, you can go and have a look."
Geng Zhiye asked: "What problem did the person picked up on the roadside in Dabao inherit from you?"
"I am his mother, how normal is it to inherit from me?!" Ye Fan opened the car door and walked in, waving to the waiter, "If you do it well, you will have a better future than if you were a waiter here."
After he finished speaking, Geng Zhiye stepped on the accelerator, and the giant thing flew out. The waiter was startled, and the paper in his hand flew out, and he turned around and went back. But when I thought it was an opportunity, I went to pick it up again.
Geng Zhiye asked: "Will he go?"
Ye Fan: "It's hard to say! The Western restaurant definitely doesn't have dormitories. Even if the boss rents a room, the accommodation conditions can't compare with my company. The waiter's job is not easy and tiring, so don't sleep before ten o'clock at night."
< br>
"Maybe I have the heart of a Western chef."
Ye Fan said: "Then he will choose to help in the kitchen. But he is used to seeing rich people, so he may not look down on the salary and working environment of sales."
Geng Zhiye said: "Then don't think about it. By the way, Ye Fanfan, doesn't your alma mater hold a class reunion?"
"Interesting?" Ye Fan glared at him.
Geng Zhiye looked innocent: "That's what I said, Wannian Xiu's classmate read it. I'm not worried that you want to go but are embarrassed to say it."
"I'm sorry?" Ye Fan smiled angrily, "Do you still want to ask Yun if you can bring your family members?"
Geng Zhiye: "Absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, if your classmate brings his little wife over, everyone will think she is his daughter, and it will not make a big joke."
Ye Fan couldn't bear to accept this: "Don't think that Bai Yueguang is me whenever you see a man. I'm not a fairy!" Suddenly he remembered something, "There are so many male employees in my company and you haven't seen you on tenterhooks. ”
"What do a group of technical men know?" Geng Zhiye blurted out. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Fan smiling slightly but not smiling. He quickly tried to make amends for himself, "You are their boss. They don't want to serve you both on and off duty."
Ye Fan twisted his waist. Geng Zhiye saw it this time and held her hand in advance. Ye Fan asked: "Have you ever heard of a saying - class reunion, class reunion, a pair is a pair if you break it up!"
Geng Zhiye has never heard of it: "Is it like this now?"
Ye Fan: "Actually, there are two more sentences before me. It's too tiring to suffer with your wife and find a lover, so why not hold a class reunion."
Geng Zhiye took a breath, slowed down and turned to Ye Fan: "Really?"
"Look ahead!"
Geng Zhiye turned to the front: "Go back and tell Dabao, Erbao, Sensen, and Huihui not to attend class reunions in the future. You are the elder, set an example!"
Ye Fan laughed: "Do you really believe it?"
"Ha! I dare not not believe in the virtue of your old classmate." Geng Zhiye said, "That girl is no more than twenty-five, and he dares to bring her out even though he is more than twenty years older than me. It shows that there is no bottom line."
< br>
Ye Fan asked: "Then you still want to hold a class reunion?"
Geng Zhiye said: "Nip problems in the bud!"
"You don't believe me so much?"
Geng Zhiye: "Believe it or not. Just like your old classmate, he may have used some dirty tricks."
"You quite understand?" Ye Fan was really surprised.
Geng Zhiye said earnestly: "Ye Fanfan, I am in the army and not in the sky. There are fairies in the sky, such as Sifan, and cowherds hiding their clothes." He glanced at her and said, "I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away." He remembered something. Smiled, "I'll see you today."
Ye Fan took a breath and sighed: "Don't mention this when you go back. Otherwise, Aunt Yu will have trouble sleeping and eating. She is worried that Dabao and Erbao's classmates are like this, and she is also worried that there are like this in the hospital and your sister's school."
"The old lady was born in the Republic of China and grew up in the war, what hasn't she seen?" Geng Zhiye said leisurely, "I underestimated her. In her time, she had seen cannibalism, and she had also seen wives being sold for money just to have more smoke. This kind of thing did not happen to her It seems pediatric.”
Ye Fan: "You're not allowed to say that."
"Don't tell me, don't tell me." Geng Zhiye said, "Where will you go tomorrow?"
Ye Fan was upset: "I'm not going anywhere."
Geng Zhiye stopped at the red light and turned to Ye Fan: "Worried about meeting a female classmate who has a pretty boy?"
Ye Fan pushed his face away: "Do you think good looks are like cabbage? You can find them if you have money?"
"I have never been to your company and I believe it. Just the two front desk staff of yours. If you want to enter the entertainment industry, you can't become famous immediately and have no shortage of movies." Geng Zhiye said, "There are also those people in the sales office. They are not sweet-talking and have high emotional intelligence. He’s just good-looking. And the waiter just now is just sweet-mouthed and fair, just like the one the little girl in the school drama likes.”
Ye Fan: "I think too much. I just think he is pleasing to the eye."
"What makes you pleasing to the eye is that you have good facial features. If you have good facial features and height, you can go to the film school to study acting." Geng Zhiye was too lazy to say, but couldn't help but said, "Those people in the sales office have been looking for you in the past few years. You have no problem with your height and appearance. I It’s your last name! By the way, there’s also your secretary. There are seven or eight secretaries. Is there any one ugly?”
Ye Fan said: "It costs the same money to hire someone, why don't I find someone good-looking?"
"Admit it." Geng Zhiye rolled his eyes at her, "Superficial!"
