Rebirth of an old friend into a dream

"There is a stupid kid outside the quiet village. He was born in the [-]s. He came to the city in his teens. He was not afraid of the sun. He worked hard in the [-]s. He discovered that friends in the city don't need to irrigate, and the flowers will bloom naturally... After In the [-]s, the most helpless thing was that he would always take pictures of others, without money in his pocket..."

"Ouch, give me a pat on the chest, stand up bravely, don't be in a bad mood! Ouch, bow to the sky, don't get caught up, God has his own arrangements... God loves stupid children!"

At that time, when Yi Nian was riding a bicycle in the midsummer heat wave, and went home along the tree-lined road in his memory, the tape recorder in the barber shop by the roadside was playing the song "Stupid Child" by Andy Lau, which was popular in those days.When he encountered a red light at the corner, he braked and stopped, stretched his legs on the asphalt road, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the scandal between US President Clinton and a White House intern on the small TV in the canteen.

He couldn't help getting off his bicycle, picked up the front of the bike, parked it on the side of the road, locked it, and leaned into this dilapidated canteen.With a sweep of his eyes, he saw that inside the glass cabinet covered with dust, there were little raccoon crispy noodles, white rabbit milk candies, Mai Lisu, pea crisps, Wahaha calcium milk, etc., as well as Mimi shrimp crackers, which he loved most when he was a child. , Looking up, there are strips of fruit danpi hawthorn rolls, popping candies, spicy strips hanging down...

He missed the snacks that he hadn't seen for so many years, from left to right, from top to bottom.

The proprietress, who was wearing a peony-patterned dress with big flowers and peonies, coughed a few times in displeasure, reminding him not to just stare, but to pay and take care of her business!

Shi Yinian fumbled in his trousers pocket, found no money, fumbled inside his schoolbag, finally found a one-dollar coin, couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart!It really is my own!Stingy to the extreme!

"Miss Boss, I want a pack of shrimp crackers." He handed over the coins.

The proprietress snorted softly, twisted her thick waist like an iron bucket, walked a few steps, opened the cabinet, took out a small bag of shrimp crackers, and slapped it on the counter: "What else?"

"No need." Shi Yinian rubbed his nose in embarrassment, not daring to meet the triangular eyes of the proprietress, he just lowered his head and took the change and shrimp crackers and ran out of the shop.

He took out the clean handkerchief in his pocket and wiped the sweat on the back of his neck, put on his backpack and rode back on his bicycle, rowed far away, made a turn at the corner of the street, and the hem of his snow-white shirt flashed past .

The high school is very close to home, but within a ten-minute drive, Yi Nian climbed over the Cangsheng Bridge with gurgling water on his bicycle, and saw at a glance the grocery store "Cangsheng" that my mother took over from her grandmother and has been in business for more than ten years. Sheng grocery store".When passing the Cangsheng Bridge, he turned his head sideways to take a look under the bridge, and saw the old black-covered boat that he had when he was a child. There was a commoner fisherman standing on the boat.

The grocery store sells everything, such as stickers that children like, star posters, wind-up toys, coloring books, stationery and so on.When he was a primary school student, he took a small low stool after school, sat behind the counter to do his homework, and from time to time helped adults collect money and change for inventory.When I was in the third grade, I received a counterfeit money from a scammer and was beaten up by my mother.

"Mom!" Shi Yinian hastily parked his bicycle at the door of the shop, and looked inside the shop.

"Screaming! Who told you to park your bicycle at the door! Stop my customers! Do you have eyes, you bastard!" A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair emerged from behind the glass cabinet, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt. , hands on hips and cursed.

Shi Yinian immediately froze in place.

Once the spring goes away, the beauty is old.This weak woman from Chengnan Village with beautiful mountains and rivers, with hibiscus flowers, cheeks, willow leaf eyebrows, and a pool of autumn water, was once chased after by the talented and personable Young Master Shi from Liuyun Town, who praised her as "Yan Rushunhua", wrote The poem said that she "confuses Yangcheng with a sweet smile", and Master Shi Zongchen finally married her back home with all his efforts.

The Yue Xiangyi in front of her has experienced her husband's betrayal and abandonment, the death of her parents, and all kinds of ups and downs, but she has survived, but she has lost her gentle and lovely temperament when she was young. She complains and nags to her son every day, scolds and even throws things at every turn.

In the previous life, Shi Yinian's mother, who hated him so much and would swear at him as a shrew, always wanted to stay away from her.It wasn't until he went to college and left Liuyun Town, read some psychological books, and a few years later, under the persuasion of his friends, he took his mother for an examination, only to find that his mother had suffered from PTSD, that is, post-traumatic stress disorder.Only then did he learn that his mother's disabled little finger of her left hand was broken by her husband.

"Yo! Aunt Song, why are you free to come to my shop today? Oh, yes, this is my son, he is handsome, right? His academic performance is good, and he is the study committee member of the class. Their class teacher is here Praise him in front of me!" Yue Xiangyi was bragging about her son to the neighbor aunt, wishing she could blow her son to the sky.

When Shi Yi thought inexplicably, he thought of the popular Internet term "commercial flattery" ten years later, and secretly laughed, but his nose was sore.

"Shi Yinian, why are you so stunned? Are you stupid? Hurry up and eat! Don't you have to go to school for evening self-study after eating! You are a tortoise!" Yue Xiangyi's soprano After a short pause, they started shouting again.

"I know, I know!" Shi Yinian said in his heart: I'm really not used to talking to you properly.

Shi Yinian carried the backpack and ran towards the old house at a rapid pace.
