Chapter 62
Three days later, Jiang Yi's tavern was still deserted.
There is a small restaurant not far from her shop, and the business is slightly better than hers. After all, eating is still a basic need of people.The small restaurant is managed by a pair of sisters. The older sister is very introverted and always busy in the kitchen, while the younger sister is extroverted. Her name is Xiao Lin. It is her job to buy goods and attract customers.
In the afternoon of this day, the sun was rare in the mountain city, so Jiang Yi moved a stool to the door of the store, smoking a cigarette and basking in the sun.
Xiaolin, who was peeling edamame at the entrance of the small restaurant, saw her and called out, "Sister Yi, come and help peel the edamame. I'll give you a bag after peeling."
Jiang Yi smiled and walked over.
Xiaolin moved a ponytail for her, and she sat at the door of the shop, peeling edamame in the sun with Xiaolin.
He smoked half of the cigarette in his mouth, and spit out a thin wisp of smoke occasionally, and he could see the delicate red lips and white teeth.Her fingers are also snow-white, and she is very skillful in peeling beans. Cubi's edamame pods are flying around her fingertips, making her slender fingers look like white jade.
The soot had accumulated too long, so she put down the edamame again, pinched the cigarette from between her lips, lit the ash into the garbage bag, and when feeding the cigarette back to her mouth, she flicked her curly thick hair to let Long hair hangs over one shoulder.
Xiao Lin stared blankly: "Sister Yi, you are so pretty."
Jiang Yi smiled at her with a cigarette in his mouth.
Xiaolin simply put down the edamame pod and stared at her: "How old are you?"
Jiang Yi smiled: "It's almost thirty."
Xiaolin shook her head: "I can't tell at all, I feel like you are around thirty, that is the most beautiful age."
Jiang Yi has the kind of thick face. When she was 20 years old, everyone said that she was more mature than her peers, and she looked like a sister of her peers. Now she is in her thirties, and she looks like she was in her 20s. Not much has changed, and everyone says she looks younger again.
Xiaolin asked Jiang Yi: "When I am in my thirties, will I be as good-looking as you?"
Jiang Yi smiled at her again: "What's so good about being like me? Everyone has different looks."
Xiaolin: "But I think you are the most beautiful, like a big star on TV." She glanced at the TV in the store and curled her lips: "What kind of broken spaceship was broadcast this afternoon, but I didn't show it every day. The heroine in the TV series I watched was quite good-looking, but I don’t think it’s as good-looking as yours.”
Jiang Yi knew about the TV series. Occasionally, when passing by a small restaurant, Xiaolin didn't need to wash the dishes, but just sat in the shop and watched the TV series, and the TV was turned up very loudly.
Speaking of which, the actress Jiang Yi still knows her. She met her twice when she returned to China to participate in fashion events. She is very different from her superficial elegance. She likes playing big names and often makes her assistant cry.
Xiaolin peeled the edamame and said, "It's great to be a big star. You can dress up beautifully and go on TV every day. I really don't know what a big star's life is like."
Jiang Yi said, "Nothing interesting."
Xiao Lin looked up: "How do you know?"
Jiang Yi blinked: "Guess."
She really didn't think being a star was very interesting, but after acting in "Crash", she belatedly found out a little bit of fun in acting.But it's useless to think about it now, anyway, she has nothing to play in the future.
Xiaolin is still complaining that her TV series was not shown today: "What is there to report about this broken spaceship, and it has nothing to do with our lives."
Jiang Yi sat on the ponytail, with her hands on her knees, bent slightly to peel the edamame, but listened to the TV very carefully with her ears up.
She is wearing a dark green skirt today, like a transparent and spiritual jade.Since she regained her freedom, she likes to wear all kinds of green, and feels full of vitality.
A gust of wind blew, and the dark green skirt fluttered, and it seemed to become lighter with the wind, like a piece of green grass under a big tree, because it was too beautiful, it was qualified to be alone outside the time tunnel where the vegetation was withered. .
Jiang Yi listened to the TV and said: "Haozhou NO.15 will be launched from the Gobi base at 19:36 three days later..."
She knew that it was the project that Yu Xi had been following, and she was so focused that she didn't notice a car with the license plate of the Aerospace Academy driving by from a distance.
Yu Xi and a colleague from the research institute were sitting in the car.The reason why they came to Shancheng today is that Instructor Yuxi heard that the tartary buckwheat tea in Shancheng is interesting, so he insisted that Yuxi send him some original flavor. Went to the post office to post the tea and was on the way back to the base.
The colleague was driving the car, seeing Yu Xi's eyes kept falling on the side of the road in one direction: "Yu Gong, is there anything else you want to buy?"
Yu Xi shook her head, and withdrew her gaze: "No more, let's go."
In the eyes of colleagues, Yuxi saw only a big tree and a few dilapidated small shops in the direction Yuxi looked at, but nothing.
What he didn't know was that Yu Xi was looking at the green skirt under the tree.
Blowing up and fluttering with the wind, the rare sunlight leaked from the leaves and sprinkled on her dark-black hair and dark-green skirt.
Like a never-fading dream, forever fresh.
Loved the time and amazed the years.
******
On the way back, a colleague asked Yu Xi: "Are you planning to go back to Beicheng?"
Yu Xi: "Why?"
Colleague: "Haozhou NO.15 launch! You are an important member of the project team and a key publicity target. I will definitely call you back to attend the launch ceremony."
Yu Xi smiled: "Let's talk about it, the project preparation here is also quite busy."
The colleague patted the steering wheel, honked the horn unintentionally, and startled a group of birds flying by the side of the road: "No matter how busy you are, what can be greater than the launch of Haozhou NO.15!"
Colleagues guessed right.
When I got off work in the afternoon, the tutor called the office: "Has my tartary buckwheat tea been delivered?"
"Sent it." Yu Xi smiled: "It is said that you are a child, a child, you are really greedy like a child, chasing buckwheat tea so closely."
"I'm not talking about tartary buckwheat tea. I just asked casually." The instructor snorted, "Don't you know why I'm looking for you? Haozhou NO.15 will be launched three days later, and you won't go back to Beicheng to participate in the launch ceremony." ?"
Yu Xi hesitated for a moment: "I don't intend to go back."
Instructor: "Are you crazy? Why don't you come back?"
Yu Xi: "The project preparation here is very busy..."
The instructor yelled the same words as Yuxi's colleague: "No matter how busy you are, what can be greater than the launch of Haozhou NO.15!"
Yu Xi held the microphone: "You know that I have always disliked participating in these ceremonies..."
"Don't be stupid." The instructor yelled at her: "We are engaged in scientific research, sometimes we still have to do the facade projects that should be done. If you don't participate in such an important ceremony, your contribution will not be seen by the higher authorities. Sometimes the hard work behind Do you know that it’s for nothing? The grades are not on your head.”
"I know." Yu Xi smiled: "But I really don't like those occasions, I just want to immerse myself in scientific research, if it doesn't count as a grade, it doesn't count as a grade, can you still drive me?"
"Hey, sometimes you are as stubborn as a donkey! I can't talk to you!" The instructor sighed, but he was also indulgent to the most proud student: "You can stay at the base and do your research, here at Beicheng Ceremony I'll help you with it."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
******
Three days later, Haozhou NO.15 launched on the same day.
The TV signal in the mountain city is not stable, and the signal of Xiaolin's small restaurant is considered to be very good. The reason is that Xiaolin loves chasing dog blood romance dramas, so she set up a cauldron to strengthen the signal.
Towards evening, the wind in the weather cooled down, Jiang Yi still had no business, leaning against the door to smoke.
She wore a milky white thin long sweater to keep out the wind, and matched it with her milky green skirt. The color was quite small and fresh, but it formed a strong contrast with her charming and mature temperament, and highlighted the grace of a tall and graceful person.
When the wind blows, it lifts her long curly hair hanging on one shoulder, and along with the lingering smoke, she doesn't know where to go.
Xiaolin stood at the door of her shop and stared blankly. It took a long time before she walked towards Jiang Yi and shouted: "Sister Yi."
Jiang Yi took the cigarette from his lips and smiled at her: "Peel edamame again?"
Xiaolin waved her hand: "Peeling edamame, it's almost night, and the dishes that should be prepared have already been prepared. I asked you to come to my house to watch live TV. Doesn't your house have a TV?"
As for what Xiao Lin asked her to watch, Jiang Yi actually understood, but deliberately asked, "What TV are you watching?"
"Sister Yi, you really don't care about national affairs at all!" Xiaolin glanced at her dissatisfied: "Didn't the mayor call on us to watch the live broadcast of Haozhou NO.15 launch? Hurry up and raise your awareness!"
Jiang Yi smiled while smoking a cigarette.
In the afternoon three days ago, I don't know who complained that Haozhou's NO.15 special program took up the airing time of her TV series.
Jiang Yi walked to the small restaurant with Xiaolin, her sister Xiaoxue was also there, but she was reserved and not talkative, so they simply nodded.Xiaolin turned on the TV, and the advertisement was still playing, but Jiang Yi's heart was already beating violently.
The three of them were sitting on a round stool, when they heard a noisy voice behind them: "Sister Xiaolin, can you watch the live broadcast on your TV?"
Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat.
It's the base people.
They call the two sisters who run the restaurant "Sister Xiaolin" and "Sister Xiaoxue", but they never call the proprietress, as if the title "proprietress" only belongs to Jiang Yi, with a special charm and various styles.
Xiaolin turned her head and smiled, "Why did you come here? Isn't there enough TV in the base for you to watch?"
"There is a TV in the base." The researchers complained: "However, on such an important day as the launch of Haozhou NO. A member of the academy is also qualified to celebrate."
Xiaolin said: "Okay, no problem, you can order two more dishes at my house! It's cheaper for you!"
At this time, a researcher who came in first saw Jiang Yi sitting in the store, and laughed and booed: "We don't eat stir-fried vegetables, we want to eat noodles cooked by the proprietress."
"Okay." Jiang Yi turned around with a smile: "After watching the live broadcast, go to my store."
Xiaolin deliberately protested jokingly: "Wow! You just came to our house to rub the TV!"
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Jiang Yi secretly glanced behind the group of researchers.
As she herself said, she was already in her thirties, and she thought that her heart would no longer be disturbed, but now she was as nervous as she was in her early twenties.
She expected to see a young Qingxi-like face, and told herself in her heart that it was impossible, because that person, as a participant of Haozhou NO.15 project, must have returned to Beicheng to attend the launch ceremony.
Unexpectedly, after a group of noisy researchers.
Yu Xi walked in with a cold face.
******
Xiao Lin stared blankly at Yu Xi, then at Jiang Yi.
When Yu Xi walked in, his eyes were half downcast, and his eyes quickly glanced at Jiang Yi, and then drifted away like the wind.The same is true for Jiang Yi, who only took one look at Yu Xi, and his eyes flowed away like water.
The researchers sat down around the TV in a noisy manner, and Yu Xi was the last to come in, sitting on the outer edge, the place farthest from Jiang Yi.
Xiaolin was young and shallow-minded, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with these two.It's just that Yu Xi hasn't been here for a long time at the mountain city base, and she hasn't eaten at a small restaurant. Xiaolin has never seen her before. This is the first time I see her, and I think Yu Xi is really beautiful. Just like Jiang Yi, a How come both are so pretty.
But their looks are different, one is cold and stubborn, the other is mature and charming.
What happened to the unexpected match?Xiaolin doesn't understand, how can women and women match?
Soon, the Haozhou NO.15 launch ceremony began to be broadcast live. The noisy researchers calmed down and watched the dragon-like spaceship pointing directly at the sky, ready to take off at any time.
This is a solemn and solemn moment, and people who are usually joking can't help but be infected.
The three astronauts who performed the mission this time firmly swore to forge ahead bravely and live up to their mission.One of the three astronauts is a woman. She said that each astronaut can bring a certain number of personal items. She took the toy rabbit that her daughter gave her to space.
She smiled and looked at the camera and said, "Baby, when the spaceship lifts off, it will be the most glorious moment in my mother's life. I hope you can watch your mother well in front of the TV."
Then came Yuxi's mentor, who spoke as a representative of the R&D engineering project team. He had gray hair and a calm tone, but he spread out a long scroll of starry space in front of everyone's eyes.
There are human conquests and setbacks, and there are human progress and unyielding.
Although human beings have their cowardly and insignificant side, the journey of human beings has always been a sea of stars.
Xiaolin gently tugged on Xiaoxue's clothes: "Sister, what's going on that makes me want to cry?"
Next, everyone stared at the small TV screen without blinking, and the screen began to count down: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."
Jiang Yi was a little nervous, her fingers curled up on her knees, pinching her skirt.
She glanced at Yu Xi across the crowd.
Yu Xi stared at the TV, the expression on his face was as usual, cold and calm.
Jiang Yi felt relieved and secretly smiled in her heart: This kid is quite confident.
The countdown on the screen continued: "Five, four, three, two, one!"
Finally, the spacecraft rose into the sky like a giant dragon, accompanied by a deafening roar, carrying the dreams and hopes of mankind, aiming at the vast night sky.
The screen switched back to Yu Xi’s instructor’s face: “The smooth launch of Haozhou NO.15 is thanks to the silent efforts of many people. We are very happy to see that there are outstanding women in the team of astronauts. At the same time I am also very happy to tell you that in our aerospace engineering project team, there is also an excellent young woman named Yuxi..."
At this time, everyone in the small restaurant cheered: "Gong Yu did a good job!"
"Mr. Yu, awesome!"
Yu Xi sat on a small bench, staring at the TV screen in front of her, with her hands placed neatly on her slightly apart knees, her back straight, just like when she was waiting for data or listening to lectures.
Xiaolin couldn't help snickering to her sister: "I think this Yugong is a little dazed, why is that?"
Yu Xi reacted like this because she was really not used to such a moment, being pushed to the front of the stage to accept the cheers and praises from everyone.
The tips of the ears are reddish.
But at this moment, Yu Xi suddenly understood what the female astronaut said just now: "Mom is the most glorious time in her life, I hope you can take good care of her."
She found that she insisted not to go back to Beicheng but stayed at the mountain base, not just because she hated the trick of falsehood and obedience.
But there was a reason hidden in her heart that she didn't want to face.
She crossed the crowd and took a quick glance at where Jiang Yi was sitting, only to find that Jiang Yi was also looking at her with a smile.
Unlike other people who were cheering or praising her, Jiang Yi didn't say anything, just looked at her with a quiet smile.
In those peach blossom eyes, there is approval and pride.
Yu Xi quickly withdrew his eyes.
Why does she need Jiang Yi's attention and affirmation.
She clearly hated Jiang Yi, and also blamed Jiang Yi.
Hate why Jiang Yi lied to her when they first met at the age of 17, and why Jiang Yi loved someone other than her.
Although such resentment is unreasonable, everyone has the right to love freely, but she can't stop the resentment in her heart.
Why has Jiang Yi not changed at all after so many years.
All kinds of styles, fresh and full of vitality, as soon as they appear, they will grab everyone's attention and eyes.
It seems that no matter how far she has gone and how powerful she has become, as long as she returns to Jiang Yi, she will still be that timid 17-year-old child, who will never be able to keep up with Jiang Yi's fluttering skirt and mature pace.
Such thoughts made her feel depressed.
******
In the following time, in the live broadcast room of the launch ceremony, a political expert was invited to talk with the host about the significance of the launch of Haozhou NO.15.
This part of the content is not of interest to this group of people engaged in scientific research. After sitting for a long time, everyone started to move around and wanted to go out for some activities, saying that they were going to buy beef jerky.
In fact, it’s not beef jerky either. Real beef jerky is too expensive to sell in mountain cities.The "beef jerky" in everyone's mouth is vegetarian meat spicy strips. It is unhealthy, nutritious and cheap, but it satisfies cravings.
For a while, half of the people who were sitting in the small restaurant left sparsely.
When Yu Xi looked up from the screen, she found that Jiang Yi's seat was also empty.
Yu Xi found that her hands and feet were also a little stiff from sitting, so she stood up and moved around, and walked outside the door, unexpectedly, Jiang Yi didn't go far, and stood at the door smoking a cigarette, their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
He quickly looked away.
After the last rainy night, Jiang Yi's full breasts, slender waist, fat-like skin, and even her ankles as slender as a swan's neck all had concrete and special meanings in Yu Xi's eyes.
The two leaned against the door, standing on the left and the right, no one moved or spoke.
There is a huge banyan tree at the entrance of the small restaurant. It is difficult for two people to hug each other. It has been planted here for many years.
"Is it easy to smoke?" Yu Xi said suddenly.
Jiang Yi glanced at her with a smile: "Huh?"
Yu Xi: "Give me a sip."
Jiang Yi started to wear that kind of mottled lacquer lipstick again, which is very suitable for her charming temperament, but it is cheap and easy to fade. Once she smokes, it will stick to the cigarette holder.
A circle of deep red ambiguous lip marks.
Yu Xi reached out to get the cigarette between Jiang Yi's fingers, but Jiang Yi raised his hand to hide it: "What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?"
Yu Xi: "I'll be 27 soon."
Does she want cigarettes?
At this time, the young people who bought spicy sticks came back, and they were as noisy as when they left. Seeing Yu Xi and Jiang Yi ambiguously sticking together, leaning against the door of the small restaurant, they were all taken aback.
On the contrary, Jiang Yi waved his hand at them, a white forearm protruded from the sleeve of the sweater, and said with a calm smile, "You Yugong want to grab my cigarettes."
"Oh, Yu Gong, you can't do this." They smiled and gathered around: "Professor Chen will scold you to death if you are doing scientific research, staying up late and sitting for a long time is very harmful to your health, and you still want to smoke."
They called Jiang Yi: "Miss Boss, don't give it to me."
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I won't give it."
Yu Xi didn't know why she was suddenly angry, she retracted her hands and stood upright, with no expression on her face: "If you don't give it, then I will go in."
Like a wayward child, a powerless threat.
Jiang Yi didn't seem to notice her awkwardness at all, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go in."
Yu Xi really turned around and went in.
There were not many people left in the store, but Xiaolin and Xiaoxue were still sitting in the store.Seeing Jiang Yi coming in, Xiaolin ran to sit on an empty stool beside her and talked to her: "Engineer Yu, how are spaceships built?"
"This..." Yu Xi pondered for a while, and actually started talking to Xiao Lin.
Of course, Xiao Lin doesn't understand proper terms like "compression wave" and "high-speed boundary layer theory". She just thinks that Yu Xi is good-looking and has a cool and pleasant voice, so she wants to listen to Yu Xi's words.
Yu Xi didn't really want to talk about this, she just wanted to find something for herself to do, while listening to the movement outside the door.
A woman like Jiang Yi is as soft as a willow branch in spring, as long as she is willing, she can make everyone feel like a spring breeze blowing in their hearts.Listening to the group of researchers who usually don't talk much, Yu Xi happily chatted with Jiang Yi about the spicy sticks he just bought, and said that he also bought candy, the white rabbit toffee that he hasn't eaten for a long time.
Jiang Yi's voice in response was low and soft, making it hard to hear.
Although Xiaolin didn't understand what Yu Xi said, she looked at Yu Xi with admiration: "I feel that you are so amazing!"
"Not great." Yu Xi shook his head: "What's so great."
Another glance at the door.
At this time, the few remaining researchers in the store shouted: "I'm coming back soon! Let's talk about the daily life of the R&D engineering team!"
"Here we come." Sparsely people who were eating spicy noodles at the door poured in, and Xiao Lin jumped back to her seat.
Yu Xi looked at the screen in front of him, but knew that Jiang Yi was the last one to come in, and he should have just stubbed out his cigarette, which smelled faintly of tobacco.
After everyone sat down and stared at the screen quietly, Jiang Yi passed by Yu Xi.
At this moment, the camera entered the laboratory and data room of the R&D engineering team, and the light was relatively dark. In order to see the picture more clearly, Xiaolin reached out and turned off the light.
The entire small restaurant fell into darkness, only the faint fluorescent light from the TV screen cast it.
Jiang Yi's fingers touched the back of Yu Xi's hand lightly, and then picked again, the fingertips still had a trace of coolness from standing outside for a long time.Yu Xi's palm turned over following her movements, and something fell on Yu Xi's palm.
Jiang Yipiao left, returned to her seat, and whispered something to Xiaolin with a smile.
Yu Xi looked down at his palm.
A big white rabbit toffee lay there.
The woman's hand was so gentle just now, as if she was saying with a smile, "Well done, kid."
It reminded her of the old plane ticket that had been hidden in her backpack for many years.
It was the first time in life that someone took her dream seriously and sent her to the blue sky with the help of good wind.
The author says:
Is this a simple big white rabbit?This is a symbol of finally starting to sweeten!
(And, the alarm clock is still ringing tomorrow... ringing ringing~
