Beautiful love stories could be passed down for thousands of years, but songs that had been popular among the common people for hundreds of years were rare. Zhang Mingzhi was deeply moved. She glanced at Zhao Tiewei and said,"I've been listening to this song for several years, but I didn't know there was such a story behind it. Thank you for letting me broaden my horizons.”
Zhao Tiewei smiled but didn't say anything. Then, he gently pressed the sound button.
A classic European and American song that Mingzhi Zhang liked started playing again. The name of the song was " Casabianca." This song became popular in Europe in the 1980s. The beautiful melody and moving voice were loved by people of different ethnic groups and countries with different languages all over the world. Anyone who listened to them would enjoy the beauty.
The two of them listened quietly.
Zhang Mingzhi also liked to listen to this song and had bought a recording of it. Although it was nice, she didn't know the story behind it. She just listened to it as if it was a beautiful melody.
When the song was over, Zhang Mingzhi said,"I like this song too. It sounds a little sad, but I don't know what it means.”
Zhao Tiewei was a little thirsty from talking just now. He took a bottle of mineral water with a layer of frost from the small refrigerator in the car and drank half of the bottle of ice water. He said slowly,"There's a story behind this. Casabianca itself was an old movie from 1943. It was a classic and had won 16 Academy Awards. In the 1980s, a musician was very touched by this old movie. He watched it with his girlfriend and then wrote this song. The lyrics were to the effect: I fell in love, and watching Casabianca with you was sitting in the back of a movie theater, enjoying coke and popcorn in the flickering light. Under the starry sky, love was long. We kissed and hugged in the long night. I thought you were in love with me. Time passed, but my love for you grew.”
Zhang Mingzhi listened attentively. Zhao Tiewei stopped talking."Continue!"
"It's over. There's nothing more to say."
"What happened to the couple in the end?”Zhang Mingzhi anxiously waited for the results.
Zhao Tiewei looked at her and smiled. That's the gist of the lyrics. It sounds like a breakup. If you really want to know the result, I can tell you my understanding: Later, the couple got married and had a lot of children. The children all grew up and worked. The two of them had nothing to do and went to Beijing Xiangshan to see the red leaves.”
Zhang Mingzhi laughed hysterically. She slapped the steering wheel and shouted,"Who gave birth to a bunch of children with you? Dream on!"”
The two of them began their long journey while chatting and laughing. They switched cars in the middle. When they were about to enter Beijing, Zhao Tiewei took over the steering wheel. He was thinking about where to bring Zhang Mingzhi for dinner. He looked at his watch and it was already past 10 p. m. Let's go to Sanlitun Bar Street. There were all kinds of food and drinks there. No matter how late it was, there would be no one there.
There wasn't such a unique place in the entire Dongchuan Province. He had to make Zhang Mingzhi excited and make her drink. He had to cook the rice tonight.
Zhao Tiewei was thinking about where to go. He had just drunk half a bottle of ice water and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, leaned his body to the side, and quietly farted. Then, he lowered the window, and almost at the same time, a stench spread through the car.
Zhang Mingzhi was admiring the scenery outside the car. After Zhao Tiewei rolled down the window, the smell in the car immediately became strange. Zhang Mingzhi said," Hurry up and close the window. I didn't expect the pollution in Beijing to be so serious." The air quality is much worse than our Dongchuan Province.”
"Is it that serious? Why don't I smell any stench?"
Zhao Tiewei was so nervous that he almost didn't tell the truth. He pretended to be dumb while stalling for time. In another half a minute, the air in the car would be replaced. Zhao Tiewei closed the window and thought about how ridiculous Zhang Mingzhi was. He bit his lower lip hard to not laugh, but he could not hold it in and could not help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Mingzhi immediately understood what was going on.："So it was you who made Beijing the scapegoat.”
Zhao Tiewei smiled and said," I'll atone for my sins later. I'll take you to the most popular bar street in Beijing, Sanlitun, for dinner. I'll let you see the cultural habits of Beijing. More than one-third of the people on this street are foreigners. They're famous in the country and even in the world. It's very lively.”
"I've heard of this place. Bar Street should be a westernized place. Why is it called Sanlitun? It's comparable to your Reliance Village!"
Reporters loved to ask why. Zhao Tiewei introduced her,"Sanlitun has been around since the 1930s and 1940s. Because it is just three miles away from the city wall of Beijing, some farmers set up thatched huts to farm for a living, so it was called Sanlitun.”
"Oh, so it used to be just a village. How did it become so famous?”
"In the 1960s, the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China personally chose this place to build an embassy district.
In the early 1980s, the first joint venture hotel in China was personally approved by the government to be built here. This was the famous Zhaolong Hotel at that time. In 1983, the first bar in Beijing opened in Sanlitun. Because it was in the embassy district, the bar quickly became popular, and there were more and more bars, becoming the current bar street.”
Zhang Mingzhi listened attentively. She was surprised that Zhao Tiewei was so familiar with Beijing's human geography. Then, she asked a question that made Zhao Tiewei laugh and cry,"I'm the first girl you've brought here. Considering my privacy, I can laugh at this question.”
Zhao Tiewei first smiled and then said,"It's not like we're committing murder or arson, so there's nothing to be afraid of. You're the second and the last.”
Zhang Mingzhi smiled and nodded in satisfaction."It's basically reasonable. You're still a practical person.”
That night, Zhao Tiewei and Zhang Mingzhi stayed at Zhaolong Hotel after dinner. Zhao Tiewei's steel spear, which had been idle for half a year, had long recovered its full strength. It was strong and powerful, and he successfully entered the pass. However, the speed of firing after entering the pass was too fast. Before he could enjoy the process, he fired a cannon and then surrendered. As they were too tired during the day, the two of them quickly fell asleep. The second battle that happened in the morning was too long to be described here.
The first confrontation between a pair of hot-blooded young men, their tragic situation and clumsy methods, their repeated tug-of-war, their desire to obtain the other party's complete possessiveness, their repeated victories, and their tireless exploration were all vividly and perfectly reflected here.
This is a personal experience that many people have experienced. I'd better leave the imagination to the readers. Perhaps, putting your past experience here is more perfect, more complicated, and more passionate than my description. Memories were always beautiful. The pain would gradually fade away, but the beauty would still be the same.
The next morning, Zhao Tiewei and Zhang Mingzhi walked out of Zhaolong Restaurant hand in hand. After several rounds of polishing on the bed, the relationship between the two of them suddenly became much closer. For a time, they had to hold hands when they walked. Once there was a sexual relationship, the relationship between men and women seemed to become intimate. You had me, and I had you at your best. The two of them were still at the climax of their love.
When the car got on the road, Zhang Mingzhi suggested that they had to pass by Tianamen. Zhao Tiewei smiled. He could understand how it felt to be eager to see Tianamen when outsiders entered Beijing. He drove the car southwest.
When they arrived at Xiangshan Park, Zhang Mingzhi pointed at Zhao Tiewei and said,"If you can introduce Xiangshan Park in as much detail as Sanlitun, I can consider calling you Teacher Zhao in the future.”
Zhao Tiewei smiled." I will. I'm very good at talking, but I'm not bad at doing either." You've already experienced it this morning. I'm an all-rounded compound talent. I can be said to be capable.”
Zhang Mingzhi's face turned red." Be careful. There are some things that can only be done but not said. It's so embarrassing."”
"Then let's talk as we work." Zhao Tiewei said.”She hugged Zhang Mingzhi's waist. She almost stuck to her body and continued," Let me tell you about Xiangshan Park.”
"This park was built in the 26th year of Jin Dading, 1186 years in the Gregorian calendar. It has a history of more than 800 years. It was opened as Xiangshan Park in 1956 and is one of the top ten parks in Beijing.
The Xiangshan Park had a steep terrain, with verdant peaks, lush springs, chirping birds, chirping insects, and many squirrels. When you reached the top of the mountain, you would see red leaves all over the mountain. You're lucky. The red leaves of the Fragrant Hill are directly related to the first frost in Beijing. " The leaves can't turn red without frost. I asked when I bought the ticket just now. The weather this year is special. There was frost a week ago, so the leaves turned red. However, it's not completely red. In a normal year, it usually takes until mid-October. You're still very lucky.”
The two of them chatted as they climbed the mountain. They had already reached the top of the mountain. The red leaves that covered the mountain had already formed a red ocean, which was both beautiful and spectacular. A gust of mountain wind blew past the red leaves and swayed with the wind. It seemed to be the waves of the sea, but it also seemed to be the turmoil of the heart.
Zhang Mingzhi was shocked by the scenery. She leaned blissfully into Zhao Tiewei's arms, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten despite the wind and waves. "I really feel like crying," she whispered to Zhao Tiewei. This place was too beautiful! If you become an official in the future, can you plant red leaves on the mountains where you live in Kaoshantun Village? It will be a manifestation of our love.”
Zhao Tiewei whispered in her ear,"If that day comes, I will turn Reliance Village into a red sea. It became the most beautiful village and the largest park in Dongchuan Province.”
Zhao Tiewei's casual words had unexpectedly become reality in the future. This was a story for the future.
"What kind of tree is this? Why are the leaves red?"
"You really have a hundred thousand whys," Zhao Tiewei said with a smile. This was a cotinus coggygria tree. Its leaves were almost round and its surface was very smooth. Many people used it as a bookmark after drying it. Usually, it had green leaves because the tree itself could provide a large amount of photosynthesis to the leaves. At the same time, there were also yellowish and orange leaves. However, the amount of photosynthesis greatly exceeded that of yellowish and orange leaves, so the leaves were green. After autumn, especially after a frost, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the growth of photosynthesis stopped at low temperatures. The growth of ganoderma and orange was accelerated, and under the sunlight, they quickly decomposed and changed into red leaves.
In fact, overseas, such as Canada, the United States, and other countries, there were trees with red leaves all year round. They were called American red maples. China had already introduced it, but it was a little more expensive.”
Zhang Mingzhi nodded as she listened."Teacher Zhao is really a compound talent. He has taken the path of all-round development and has a bright future. He is basically suitable to be my boyfriend.”
Zhao Tiewei was overjoyed when he heard that. He turned Zhang Mingzhi around and kissed her on the lips. The people who were watching the red leaves at the side almost turned their heads elsewhere. They really could not stand the excitement. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people, he really didn't know what this pair of young people could do.
