After Xingzhong got married, especially when he first talked to Jianmei about her form teacher, he experienced a feeling of understanding and joy. Now, this feeling was gone. What replaced it was the recent quarrel with her. It was about the fear of returning the "loan" to her form teacher on a regular basis. Therefore, he decided not to return the so-called debt to Jianmei's form teacher."A debt!"
If that was the case, Xingzhong would not have changed his decision to divorce her voluntarily! As long as she was willing, she could still meet her form teacher once with his permission. However, this matter made him feel very painful and vexed!
In fact, after Jian Mei returned to her mother's house for the second time, her heart began to change!
Because of her change of heart, Xingzhong thought of the reason why they didn't see "Hong" during their first sexual relationship. As a result, he had planned to go to the neighborhood committee to put up the big-character poster, but now he changed his route to the neighborhood committee. He rolled up the big-character poster that every resident had to write (instructed by the "Four Purities" working group) and did not put it up. He began to search for his wife's whereabouts in all the hotels in the streets and alleys of Guanzhen, Quanwan County. As long as he found out that there was a room registered by the "class teacher" of a middle school from Shandong or Jiangbei, he would definitely find Jianmei's shadow. Because she had not been with the Huang family for long, and she knew very few people, she had nowhere to go or hide!
That afternoon, the weather was crazy hot. The sun had just risen in the morning, and the ground was already on fire. Some grey gas that looked like clouds and fog floated in the air, making people feel very suffocated. The French plane trees on the street seemed to be sick. Their leaves were covered in a layer of dust and curled up in front of the pedestrians. The branches were too lazy to move, drooping listlessly. There was not a single drop of water on the road. It was dry and glowing with white light. The dust on the sidewalk flew high into the air, connecting with the dust in the sky, forming a poisonous gray sand array that burned the faces of the pedestrians. Everywhere was dry, hot, and suffocating. The four main streets of the entire Wan County Town were like a burnt brick kiln, making it difficult for people to breathe.
After Xing Zhongcai left the poster, he went to look for Jian Mei. He flipped through the thin book placed on the table or counter in front of each hotel for guests to register their name, work unit, address, and where they came from and where they went, because it was not a passenger register that could not be flipped through at will.
As a result, the registration forms spun rapidly, and unfamiliar names rolled past his swollen eyes.
Suddenly, a familiar name and place came into his sight!
Room 5 of the state-owned People's Hotel opposite the Wan County Movie Theater was the one he was looking for.
Destiny's big stage. What a coincidence. There were all kinds of characters. There was actually someone who dared to come to the town from a foreign land and pluck out the teeth from the tiger's mouth!
"Excuse me, sir, I would like to ask if there is a teacher from Shandong living in this room.”Excitedly pointing out the names on one of the register books (there were two on the table, one of which had been sent to the police station in the town for review and had been kept in the drawer by the waiter), he asked the young waitress at the front counter directly.
"No?" Another young man with a very red face stuck out his tongue and interrupted. He even looked at Xing Zhong with a serious and comical look.
"If I may ask again, did a young woman come to Room 5 downstairs this morning to look for you?”he asked the registration clerk again, in a jovial and amiable manner.
"I haven't seen it before! No, I wasn't paying attention!" The female attendant was a blushing woman with two long braids tied together like a butterfly with a flower handkerchief. She wasn't tall, but she had a set of business terms for welcoming and seeing off tourists. In this situation, she mysteriously shook her head and wagged her tail in a way that made her excited. She rashly smiled and replied to the other party.
This time, he asked a few other waitresses in annoyance, but they did not speak or did not say anything. Can you bear with it a little longer? Xing Zhongke restrained his introverted temper and looked at the three or four on-duty staff members with a look that showed that he was ready to be scolded again. Right after this look, an older waitress about forty years old came. She could only say to the guest in a gentle and elegant voice,
"Why don't you go into the room and take a look yourself??”
"No, no! There's no one here!" Another young waitress rushed to explain. She wanted to stop the other party from letting Xing Zhong push open the door of Room 5 without knocking.
"Do these waiters know that Jianmei has been here? Or did he really not know how to say that he was not here??”Xing Zhong had a feeling of hiding the evil and praising the good, and it was already expanding.
After he left the registration counter, another waitress pursed her lips and muttered to herself. She held her head high and said in praise,
"Ho-ho! He was quite a handsome young man!”
"Maybe they really don't know that Jianmei has been here or maybe left again?”Just as Xing Zhongzheng was thinking about this, he suddenly turned his head and saw that the two waiters had also left the registration area and were secretly looking at him. They were even using their hands to block him and were making fun of him! From the air, he guessed that they must be "keeping it a secret" and colluding with his wife to make fun of him. The two waiters who had escaped were back together again. They whispered to each other and laughed sinisterly. They also boldly stared at Xing Zhong, wondering if they could find some funny "secret" from his face.
