Chapter 231 Pavlov Arrives
On Saturday afternoon, Li Ye parked his bicycle outside the English Department classroom and waited for Wen Leyu to finish class.
We are going to have a dinner at Zaojun Temple today, so we don’t have to eat in the Peking University cafeteria.
After the bell rang, Wen Leyu took the lead and walked out quickly, jumping onto Li Ye's car seat nimbly, really like a nimble kitten.
Li Ye rode his bicycle and took Wen Leyu slowly across the campus to the quadrangle of Zaojun Temple. Along the way, he envied a bunch of single men and women.
Wen Leyu swung her long legs, tilted her little face up, and enjoyed the breeze brought by the ride, with a happy and comfortable look on her face.
Seeing Wen Leyu's look, Li Ye couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What good thing happened to you that made you enjoy it so much, Xiaoyu?"
Wen Leyu narrowed his eyes and held up two fingers: "Two things."
Wen Leyu said proudly: "First, I have been reading the winning works of the essay contest these days, and I have gained a lot and enjoyed the joy of knowledge."
The essay contest for "A Song of Ice and Fire" has entered its second stage. The selected translated manuscripts have begun to be released in small batches in various regions to be tested by enthusiastic readers.
Pei Wencong sent all the winning works that entered the second round to Li Ye.
Originally, Li Ye didn't care much about it. He only cared about the real reaction of the market.
However, Wen Leyu, the "first translator", took it very seriously. He read each copy carefully and compared it with his own first draft.
Now it seems that the girl is enjoying it.
Li Ye smiled and asked, "What about the second thing?"
Wen Leyu smiled slyly: "Hehe, I won't tell you."
"You won't tell me?"
Li Ye pretended to be angry and said, "Believe it or not, my arm is shaking now. Let's go take a bath in Weiming Lake?"
"Hehe~" Wen Leyu laughed contemptuously: "Don't play those paper tiger games. You wouldn't dare to do that even if I gave you three guts."
Li Ye: “.”
If the husband's authority is weakened, what can he do?
However, Wen Leyu's next words stunned Li Ye.
"The second thing, hehe, is that after five days, I can finally eat the food you cooked again."
“.”
Li Ye felt sad and unhappy.
Ever since Ah Qiang came on Sunday, he, as the reserve president of the Lone Army Literary Society, has been busy running around. Not only did he have time to go to Zaojun Temple to give Wen Leyu special lessons, but the two of them didn't even have much time to meet each other.
Even today, it is the dinner time for the small group of eight, otherwise Li Ye would be dragged away by Li Huaisheng and others to drink.
There are always people coming to the literature club, so you have to go along and get to know them, keep them company and build relationships, right?
Li Ye never participated in many things in the past, but Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin are about to step down, so won’t you, Li Ye, take over in the future?
If other people saw this kind of worry, they would think that it was just Li Yechou's bad habit and that he was being pretentious.
According to the concepts of this era, how can emotional matters be compared with such "serious matters"?
But Li Ye knew that the "sweet and sweet" relationship between him and Wen Leyu was much more precious than any "serious business".
Ever since TV One broadcast that promotional video, Wen Leyu has become much closer to Li Ye, and gradually got used to being together every day.
To make a girl like Wen Leyu say those "sweet" words just now, how much is she attached to Li Ye in her heart?
This is not the kind of "good acting" that Li Ye had seen in his previous life. Wen Leyu is not the kind of girl who needs to compete with you in acting skills.
Li Ye made a decision and said, "I'm just busy for a while. After I'm done, everything will be the same as before. I promise I won't be late in cooking for you."
"Hey, you misunderstood," Wen Leyu rubbed his little head against Li Ye's back and said, "You focus on your business. I can eat anything. Besides, if I feel hungry, I can go to Zaojun Temple and make a small stir-fried meat meal.
I tell you, I am now very good at making stir-fried pork."
“.”
"Well, I'm looking forward to eating your specialty~"
Li Ye pedaled the bicycle faster, feeling the wind blowing towards him, and felt refreshed and comfortable in his heart.
The bicycle drove briskly into Zaojun Temple. Before reaching the gate, I saw the Beijing 130 from Pengcheng Seventh Factory parked at the door, and the blower in the kitchen at home was rumbling.
Li Ye smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Peng and his friends have found something delicious today to improve our meals!"
Wen Leyu sucked a mouthful of saliva and said with a smile: "The best is lamb. The lamb that Mr. Song made last time was really delicious."
Old Song and Jin Peng had been in the capital for a long time, and they would often get some fresh meat and vegetables, and then bring them to Zaojun Temple to improve the meals for Li Ye and others. Especially Old Song, his cooking skills were really good.
However, as soon as Li Ye parked his bicycle at the door, he heard the barking of a dog in the yard.
"Huh? When did you get a dog at home?"
While Li Ye was still wondering, Wen Leyu had already jumped off the bicycle and rushed into the yard in two steps.
Then Li Ye heard Wen Leyu's hearty laughter: "Pavlov? Hahaha, I knew it was you as soon as I heard it."
Li Ye: “.”
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1982, Teacher Ke came to Beijing to build connections, and Wen Leyu stayed in Qingshui County No. 2 Middle School.
Wen Leyu didn't want to stay at Li Ye's house for the New Year, so Li Ye conducted a famous zoological experiment - Pavlov's dog.
Then somehow, the big yellow dog guarding the back door of the Second Grain Store became Pavlov.
Jiang Xiaoyan, Han Xia and Wen Leyu all like this big yellow dog very much, especially Wen Leyu, who was still talking about how much she missed Pavlov a few days ago!
"Brother Peng is really considerate."
It is estimated that Jin Peng listened to Wen Leyu's mumbling and specially brought Pavlov from his hometown.
After Li Ye entered the room, he saw the big yellow dog wagging its tail vigorously at Wen Leyu. That kind of affectionate attitude was almost evolving towards the direction of "flattery".
Just by looking at the hair on Pavlov's body, you can tell that his life has been very miserable since Li Ye and others left Erliangdian.
When Li Ye worked at the Erliangdian, the meals were improved, and even the big yellow dog had vegetable soup for every meal, and bones to gnaw on every now and then. The dog's fur was really shiny and greasy.
Now, its fur is dry and messy. I guess it can only chew bones once every three to five days, and it has rarely seen oily soup.
So now that the big yellow dog has seen its kind-hearted owner, how can it not fawn on him?
Don’t dogs have the ambition to make progress?
"The Chinese native dog is indeed a smart species!"
Don’t deny the intelligence of canines. In Li Ye’s previous life, a “smart and motivated” lone wolf appeared in Xinjiang.
At that time, he was walking alone on the side of the road in an uninhabited area, humming "I can only grit my teeth" and casting stubborn looks at the passing off-road vehicles.
Then, a bag of snacks was thrown from the SUV.
The lone wolf was contemptuous and disdainful at first.
But after it tasted the food, it suddenly became enlightened and improved.
I won't go into the details of the process, but a few months later, the lone wolf had become plump and very funny, attracting passing self-driving tourists to feed it.
It is also said that it has learned to recognize car logos, and will not stop off-road vehicles worth less than RMB 300,000. As long as it sees a luxury car coming, it will act cute in the middle of the road.
The nearby management department couldn’t stand it anymore. Doesn’t this affect the natural ecology?
So they got an iron cage, drove hundreds of kilometers deep into the Gobi Desert, and sent the lone wolf back to the embrace of nature.
Then, the lone wolf came back with two female wolves, and they formed a group to perform cute acts on the road.
Who would bother chasing rabbits when you can easily eat your fill and eat well?
Everyone earns a living based on their own abilities, so it's not shameful.
So when Li Ye saw Pavlov's flattering look, he didn't despise it. After all, its ancestor was a pure East Asian wolf, and it had the same grandfather as the lone wolf.
The skills inherited from the family cannot be lost.
Li Ye found Jin Peng and asked, "Brother Peng, did you get this big yellow dog?"
Jin Peng shook his head and said, "No, it was brought here by the master."
"Master?" Li Ye was stunned and asked, "My grandfather came to the capital?"
Jin Peng nodded and said, "I came on Monday, but Master didn't let me tell you."
Li Ye asked in surprise: "Why not tell me?"
Jin Peng curled his lips and said, "How dare I ask? The master said he would come over to lecture me later, why don't you ask him!"
“.”
Li Ye thought about it, but couldn't guess the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Could Li Zhongfa still harm him?
Han Xia, Wen Leyu and others were having a blast playing with the big yellow dog. Li Ye and Jin Peng were busy in the kitchen. It was not until Jiang Xiaoyan came to help that the two brothers managed to clean up the several large pots of food.
Lamb stewed with white radish, stir-fried cabbage with prawns, and the popular pickled fish are all served in large aluminum basins. They feature authentic ingredients and large portions that are enough to fill you up.
"Why can we only have dinner together once a week? How am I going to get through the rest of the week?"
"That's right, once a week is fine, but they moved it from Sunday to Saturday, so two meals become one."
"Okay, didn't you notice that since we moved the dinner to Saturday, we have more people together? On Sunday, everyone is busy."
"That's right! Jiang Xiaoyan is going to the mall to do sales, Li Dayong is going to date his girlfriend, and Hu Man is going to participate in the student union's activities."
Li Ye looked at several classmates complaining and lamented that happy days are always short.
Everyone is getting busier and busier, and will only get busier in the future.
But fortunately, our friendship is still there and has not faded.
Fu Yingjie suddenly suggested, "Oh, right, let's go watch a movie? Let's watch 'Wulin Zhi'. I heard from my classmates that it's a good movie."
Han Xia immediately agreed, "I've heard about that too. Come on, driver Li, can you drive us to the movies?"
Li Ye smiled ashamedly and said, "I can't go out today. My grandfather will be here later. I'll ask Brother Peng to find someone to take you to the cinema."
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye in surprise, walked over and whispered, "Grandpa Li is in Beijing?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "I just found out about this too. You go to the movies with them first. I'll ride my bike to find you later."
"Just do your thing and don't worry about me. I'm not a child."
Wen Leyu nodded obediently, followed several classmates and got on bus 130, where Wang Qiangdong drove them to the cinema.
But when they arrived at the cinema, Wen Leyu said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to make a phone call."
"Hurry up then! We are waiting for you."
"Okay, okay, wait for me for ten minutes."
