Chapter 69: The Familiar Female Classmate (510)
"Su Mingzhe?!"
A strange voice made Su Mingzhe raise his head from his busy work.
Su Mingzhe looked at the girl who called his name. She had a chubby face, was fair and clear, and had a pair of black, cute eyes.
This girl looks familiar, but I don't seem to know her very well.
Seeing Su Mingzhe's bewildered face, the girl immediately said unhappily, "I, Li Ansheng, as the class monitor, you wouldn't forget about my old classmate so quickly, would you?"
"Oh, Li Ansheng, didn't you transfer to another school?"
Su Mingzhe was reminded and finally remembered that this familiar girl was indeed his old classmate. They had been in the same class from the first grade to the fourth grade.
When she was in the fourth grade, the girl had a fight with other classmates and was persuaded to drop out by the principal. I heard that she was transferred to another school.
Unexpectedly, I met him here today.
"It's summer vacation now, class monitor!"
Li Ansheng was still very angry that Su Mingzhe failed to recognize him, and he spoke with gritted teeth.
Su Mingzhe looked at the indignant girl and could only shrug his shoulders and defend himself:
"Girls change a lot when they grow up. I haven't seen you for more than two years. You've changed so much. It's normal that I didn't think of you for a while."
"cut!"
Li Ansheng is playful but not the type to be unreasonable. Seeing Su Mingzhe busy greeting customers, he squatted down as well, watching Su Mingzhe doing business out of curiosity, while helping to look after the little girl Su Mingyu.
Su Mingcheng looked at this outgoing "big sister" with a strange look, but didn't dare to say anything.
This is eldest brother’s classmate and friend. Su Mingcheng doesn’t want to say something wrong and make eldest brother unhappy.
I have to say that after following Su Mingzhe in setting up the stall for a week, Su Mingcheng's eyesight has become better and better.
Seeing that Li Ansheng was helping to look after her younger sister, Su Mingzhe wanted to refuse, but then he felt that it was a bit unkind to say so, so he just let her do it.
Li Ansheng, this name sounds very familiar.
Su Mingzhe recalled and remembered that the heroine in the short story "July and Ansheng" was named Li Ansheng.
Later, the novel was adapted into a movie, and the two female protagonists won double Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress.
There are related memories in the past life.
This Li Ansheng is somewhat similar to the Li Ansheng in the movie. He has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are very spiritual.
Finally, it’s time to close the stall.
At this time, the sky had begun to darken.
Su Mingzhe is ready to close his stall.
Looking at Li Ansheng who had been teasing Su Mingyu for the entire afternoon, Su Mingzhe was a little curious if she wasn't annoyed.
After closing the stall, Su Mingzhe had to speak up and said politely:
"Old classmate, thank you for helping me all afternoon. How about I treat you to lunch tomorrow?"
After hearing this, Li Ansheng asked curiously, "If you want to treat me to a meal, why not now?"
Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows, feeling that this female classmate had a bit of a wild personality. She was just a young girl, but it was already evening and she was still having dinner outside with a man. How heartless was she.
Besides, the two of them were not that familiar with each other, so offering to treat him to a meal was just a courtesy.
You're polite, it's a courtesy.
This girl actually took it seriously.
In the movie, Ansheng Li is quite familiar with the ways of the world, so why is he so shameless now?
However, this thought only went through his mind for a moment, and Su Mingzhe wisely chose to use a euphemism to reply:
"It's too late today. It's not very convenient. If you are free tomorrow, let's meet here at noon..."
"Oh, see you tomorrow then."
Li Ansheng looked obviously disappointed, as if he was sad about not having a free meal tonight.
Fortunately, the girl did not force herself to do something and shamelessly asked Su Mingzhe to treat her to a meal immediately.
After Su Mingzhe and Li Ansheng agreed to meet here at noon tomorrow and find a place to eat, Su Mingzhe left with his younger brother and sister.
When I got home, Su Daqiang had already prepared dinner and Zhao Meilan had just got off work.
As a nurse in the hospital, Zhao Meilan will not give up any opportunity to work overtime in order to earn more money.
On the other hand, Su Daqiang has been slacking off ever since he was demoted and transferred to the library as an administrator.
It is no wonder that Zhao Meilan often scolds Su Daqiang for being a coward. If Su Daqiang had been more motivated and worked hard for the family, he would not be looked down upon by his wife.
Su Mingzhe wanted to help his biological father, but he couldn't think of any way for the time being.
During dinner in the evening, the little girl Su Mingyu spoke quickly and told Li Ansheng about how she had played with him all afternoon.
Under the puzzled eyes of Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang, Su Mingzhe acted as if nothing had happened and told them about the unexpected meeting with his old classmate Li Ansheng, and also mentioned that he would treat them to a meal tomorrow to return the gift.
Su Daqiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Zhao Meilan asked first: "Where is this Li Ansheng from?"
"It seems like her family lives nearby, but I don't know the details. She has been transferred to another school for more than two years, so I am not too sure."
Su Mingzhe's nonchalant answer made Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan feel that their son was still young and would not fall in love prematurely, so the topic ended quickly.
After all, my son is only twelve years old. Even if he is in premature love, it should have happened when he was in high school. Now my son is not even in junior high school. As a parent, there is no need to worry so early.
The next day, Su Mingzhe went to purchase supplies after breakfast.
After setting up the stall for so many days, Su Mingzhe already had a certain grasp of the purchase details. This time he directly purchased a week's supply, found a truck, and had it delivered to his home.
Due to the large purchase volume, the wholesale price dropped by another 20%.
In fact, Su Mingzhe didn't care about this little money. When negotiating the price, he just held the idea that even a small amount of money is still meat, and he habitually argued with the boss.
Unexpectedly, the boss was quite considerate and directly reduced the price by 20%, allowing Su Mingzhe to spend more than 200 yuan less.
After delivering the goods to his home with the cart driver, Su Mingzhe paid the freight and Su Daqiang came back.
Seeing so many extra goods at home, Su Daqiang was also surprised and asked: "Boss, why did you get so many goods today?" Su Mingzhe smiled and said: "The quantity is large, the discount is big, and I saved more than 200 yuan."
"Saved more than two hundred?"
Su Daqiang was shocked and couldn't help asking, "How much is the goods here?"
Su Mingzhe said: "Just over a thousand."
"Just over a thousand——"
Su Daqiang couldn't help but stare with his eyes wide open and exclaimed, "More than a thousand yuan, is that all you earned in the past few days?"
"Yes," Su Mingzhe had no intention of hiding it. After all, this involved his future financial freedom.
Letting your parents know your ability to make money early on will help improve your status at home.
Su Daqiang was a little bit unbelieving at first, but then he remembered that his son made a hundred yuan on the first day he set up the stall. Business has been getting better and better in recent days, and it seems that he has made more than a thousand yuan, which is quite normal.
However, Su Daqiang still complained: "You are impulsive, kid. You should let your parents save the money you earn. But you spent it all on buying goods. If something happens, what use will it be to have this stuff in your hands?"
Su Mingzhe rolled his eyes after hearing this.
It would be fine if Su Daqiang, the biological father, himself had no ability, but when he saw that his son had become capable, he actually wanted to plot against his own son.
And 'make money and ask your parents to save it for you'.
It sounds like an adult asking a child for New Year's money.
I'm afraid even Su Mingcheng, who was eight or nine years old, wouldn't be able to fool such words, so only Su Mingyu, who was four or five years old, could believe it.
Su Mingzhe ignored Su Daqiang's nagging, turned around and went upstairs to change his clothes, and came out and said, "I have an appointment with that classmate to have lunch together, so don't be my lunch."
Let’s talk. Su Mingzhe rode his 28-inch bicycle out of the house, leaving Su Daqiang with red eyes but could only stamp his feet.
Guanqian Street.
Li Ansheng has been here for a long time, or rather, she came here to go shopping after breakfast.
When Su Mingzhe arrived, Li Ansheng was extremely bored and was kicking tiles with his toes.
Su Mingzhe got out of the car and immediately greeted: "Li Ansheng, have you been here for a long time?"
"Yeah, you, the class monitor, really have no sense of time at all. You actually let the girls wait for you. How ungentlemanly."
When Li Ansheng saw that Su Mingzhe did not bring his younger brothers and sisters, he returned to his true nature and spoke directly, without any hesitation or hesitation, and was quite generous.
"What's wrong with being ungentlemanly? How old am I? What do I need that stuff for? I can't eat it, and I can't drink it."
Su Mingzhe had already remembered the past few years of schooling with Li Ansheng, and knew this girl's personality, so he didn't beat around the bush when talking to her.
In addition, since I knew the character in the movie "Summer and Love", I didn't have any thoughts about her, so when I spoke, I just said whatever I wanted to say.
The two of them chatted so frankly that it helped them get rid of the unfamiliarity after not seeing each other for two years.
Su Mingzhe found a place to park the car and wanted to ask Li Ansheng to find a restaurant, but who would have thought that this girl would say, "I waited for you for too long just now, so I ate a bowl of cold noodles to fill my stomach. Now I'm not hungry, how about you treat me to a movie?"
Su Mingzhe didn't care. He shrugged and said, "I don't care. It's up to you."
Two twelve-year-old boys and girls walked into the cinema and, under the surprised gaze of the ticket seller, chose a horror movie that was very popular recently.
"I thought you would pick a romance or a comedy."
Su Mingzhe was a little surprised when he looked at the ticket for the horror film "Poison Kiss" in his hand.
Li Ansheng seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood by Su Mingzhe, so he explained, "I don't dare to watch this kind of horror movie alone. I had the courage to choose it today because you are with me."
Su Mingzhe smiled faintly at Li Ansheng's explanation and said nothing more. He looked at the time and saw that there were still more than 20 minutes left. Fearing that he would be bored, he spoke:
"I'm going to buy some popcorn and soda. Wait here for me."
"it is good."
It was the first time for Li Ansheng to watch a movie alone with a boy. She was actually a little nervous. But when she saw Su Mingzhe going to buy food, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Su Mingzhe came back with two bottles of soda and a few bags of snacks.
Li Ansheng took the soda and asked, "I forgot to ask you, have you seen this movie?"
"No, I don't usually have time to watch movies."
Su Mingzhe chatted with Li Ansheng, and when the movie started, he followed the crowd in.
Because it was a horror thriller and it was noon, there were not many people watching the movie.
The two found a seat and sat down. As the movie started, Su Mingzhe didn't care, but Li Ansheng became a little nervous.
It’s not that the movie is scary, but the atmosphere is chilling. When the tense music plays, people’s hairs stand on end.
Movies at that time were still very bold, and many safety accidents occurred during the screening of horror movies.
Su Mingzhe was actually a little nervous and could only hide his emotions by eating popcorn.
Just as Su Mingzhe was staring at the big screen, he felt his wrist being tightly grasped by Li Ansheng.
It's really funny that this little girl Li Ansheng is obviously scared to death, but she still wants to watch a horror movie.
Of course, the movie "Poisonous Kiss" is not entirely thriller-esque, it also contains some other elements.
For example, near the end of the film, the director actually gave the grown-up "poison baby" a lover, a village girl named Kang Xiaoqing.
Kang Xiaoqing grew up in a mountain village. She had a simple personality and was ignorant of worldly affairs. She was a good match for the three-month-old poison baby.
However, because of the deadly poison in the poison doll's body, the two of them were destined to end up in tragedy.
Sure enough, when the man and woman kissed passionately, Kang Xiaoqing was poisoned to death.
The poison doll has an emotional breakdown and the movie slowly comes to an end.
Overall, the first half of the movie is a bit thrilling, but it starts to become sensational in the second half.
Especially the part where Kang Xiaoqing was bathing in the Black Dragon Pond, Su Mingzhe stared in amazement.
This was in the early 1990s, and the scale of the movies played was quite large.
