Chapter 33 New Life
Xu Chen flipped through the two pairs of sportswear again.
Summer clothes are just two short pieces, a vest and shorts.
The weather is still too cold to wear it now, and the key is that it is still very exposed.
He took out the autumn clothes and handed them to Xie Bingran:
"Change into clothes, hurry up!"
Xie Bingran took the clothes and looked around.
Xu Chen pointed to a corner of the playground:
"I remember that there are locker rooms and lounges over there. I don't know if they can still be used."
The so-called locker rooms and lounges are actually two bungalows in the corner of the playground.
When Xu Chen and Xie Bingran came closer, they found a large iron lock hanging on the dilapidated wooden door, which looked like it had not been used for a long time.
Just as Xu Chen was about to say something, Xie Bingran raised her foot and kicked hard on the wooden door.
With a "click", the dilapidated wooden door fell inwards, raising waves of dry smoke.
Xu Chen was speechless.
Society, I am Brother Bing...
After a while, Xie Bingran changed her clothes and came out.
The upper and lower sportswear is all black, paired with red running shoes.
These were specially chosen by Xu Chen.
The clothes are black because "Brother Bing" only wears black.
The shoes are red because in my previous life, when I saw Brother Bing winning the championship on TV, he was wearing red running shoes.
The sportswear is tightly wrapped around the body, but it is slim and form-fitting, perfectly outlines Xie Bingran's tight figure.
Xu Chen looked up and down and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Seeing Xie Bingran holding the clothes he had changed into, Xu Chen reached out to take them and put them into the bag in his hand.
……
The wind in early spring is still very cool.
In the dilapidated playground, green buds began to sprout among the bunches of withered yellow weeds.
The dirt runway was paved with some gray and black cinders, making it look uneven.
Xu Chen sat on the edge of the podium, his legs hanging down and swaying.
He looked at the cheetah-like girl on the runway, looking a little lost.
This spring is beautiful.
Everything is new, everything is changing.
……
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When the red sun approached the distant horizon, Xie Bingran walked toward the podium with her hands on her hips.
Her short hair was wet with sweat and messy in the wind.
She stroked her back casually and returned to her "Brother Bing" appearance.
Xu Chen handed a bottle of water to Xie Bingran:
"How is it? Are you confident now?"
Xie Bingran took the water, opened it, and drank half the bottle.
“Don’t forget the selection for the Municipal Games on Wednesday afternoon.
I made an agreement with our classmate Chen Dahai that he would take us in.
I can't wait to see you rock those jocks. ”
Xie Bingran screwed the lid on: "I'm hungry."
Xu Chen smiled:
"Okay, I like feeding you the most! I think you have grown so tall and strong because of my feeding you back then."
Xie Bingran's face showed a cold light:
"Who's strong? Do you want to die?!"
……
It was not very convenient to eat in the town. Xu Chen thought about it and took Xie Bingran to eat beef.
It's not high-end stuff like steak.
But beef stew from a northern diner.
"The beef here is delicious. My dad always brought me here before!"
When he walked to the door of the store, Xu Chen was still talking happily.
When you open the store door, you can smell the strong aroma of braised beef, which is captivating.
An uncle in his forties came out and looked at the two high school students who walked in. Finally, his eyes fell on Xie Bingran:
"Isn't this Brother Bing? You haven't been here to take care of business for a long time! Sit down, sit down!"
Xu Chen: "..."
Well, it turns out that Xie Bingran is a regular customer.
After the two sat down, they listened to the shop owner joking for a while, and then Xu Chen realized that Xie Bingran and her gang of brothers had often come here to eat beef.
Half a pound of braised beef, half a pound of beef tendons, and half a pound of beef offal.
Two bottles of beer and a can of Coke. The beer belongs to Brother Bing.
Xie Bingran was really hungry, and the wind was blowing.
The food looks very heroic.
Xu Chen was carrying the Coke bottle and couldn't help but think of his introverted and skinny classmate in junior high school who couldn't afford to eat.
When they came out of the small restaurant, it was already dark, and the two of them walked to the bus stop.
Today is Sunday, and there will be classes early tomorrow morning.
Xie Bingran will take the bus back to Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School tonight. Xu Chen also needs to go home. Xu Zhiquan will take him to school tomorrow morning.
Xie Bingran was still wearing sportswear, but she had already changed out of her shoes and was carrying them in a bag.
The two of them walked together, but Xie Bingran still didn't like to talk, looking cold and silent.
Xu Chen was very carefree and kept talking about the past of the two of them in junior high school.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Occasionally, a few words reminded Xie Bingran of some memories, and she smiled secretly.
The two of them quickly reached the bus stop.
Just as I stood still, a No. 16 bus stopped in front of me.
This was going to the city, but Xie Bingran didn't get on the bus.
Xu Chen was a little confused and turned to look at Xie Bingran.
Xie Bingran paused and said coldly:
"I've eaten too much, and I want to sit down and wait for the next bus."
Xu Chen laughed and sat down on the stainless steel seat behind him.
Xie Bingran carried the bag and sat down next to him.
Xu Chen started laughing and joking again, but Xie Bingran still listened silently, smiling from time to time.
Buses passed by in front of me.
……
Fifteen minutes later, another No. 16 bus arrived.
Without saying a word, Xie Bingran picked up the bag in his hand and got into the car.
Xu Chen took her to the car and looked at the silent Brother Bing with a smile.
The moment the car door was about to close, Xie Bingran suddenly said:
"Xu Chen, why did you suddenly talk to me?"
Xu Chen was stunned.
This question sounded a little strange, but Xu Chen understood what Xie Bingran meant.
Yes, from the second grade of junior high school to the three years of high school.
Xu Chen and Xie Bingran barely spoke.
But why did he suddenly speak...
But before Xu Chen had time to answer, the car door just closed.
The glass car door separated the two people into two worlds.
The car then started and drove towards the night.
Xu Chen felt helpless, smiling and waving goodbye to the departing bus.
He knew that Xie Bingran was looking at him.
……
……
Xu Chen went to the shopping street again and returned two pairs of inappropriate shoes.
When I got home by bus, I found the big light on in the living room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw three men gathered around the table, smoking cigarettes and studying something in front of some documents.
When his father Xu Zhiquan saw his son, he smiled and put out the cigarette butt in his hand:
"Son, come and meet your third uncle!"
The three people in the room, except for his father and fourth uncle, were a young man wearing glasses and looking very quiet.
Xu Chen had already recognized him as "the third uncle of my second grandfather's family".
Xu Chen quickly smiled and shouted obediently: "Third uncle!"
"Xiaochen, long time no see."
The third uncle adjusted his glasses and said with a somewhat reserved smile.
He was not much older than Xu Chen and had just graduated from college.
The third uncle graduated from the Agriculture and Forestry College in the provincial capital. It was not surprising at all that he appeared at home.
When Xu Chen gave his first class to his father, he mentioned his third uncle from the Agriculture and Forestry College.
Unexpectedly, my father started running the seedling business and had already called my third uncle over.
