Back to 1993 through time travel

Gao, who rides a variable-speed mountain bike, smokes imported cigarettes, and is well-dressed, knows the selling point of a particularly cheap second-hand bicycle. This is a bit strange in itself, but given Gao Jianfeng's firm tone, Xia Tian didn't bother to talk about it anymore. sentence.

Similar to when I went to school in the morning, Xia Tian silently followed Gao Jianfeng, but he was about to turn into the compound, he still couldn't help asking: "Is there a second-hand car seller in the compound?"

Gao Jianfeng glanced at the Erba Dabao under his seat: "You can't ride back after buying a car? The seller doesn't care about delivering it to your door, so you can put this car back first."

It seems to be such a reason, Xia Tian immediately understood: "Is that place far away? Why don't you tell me how to get there, and I can go by myself, don't you... have something else to do?"

Gao Jianfeng smiled softly: "By the way, I can take you."

Xia Tian was slightly taken aback, and it took five seconds to realize that the so-called "bringing" was not entirely literal, but meant that Gao would use the back seat of his bicycle to "bring" himself there.

"Then..." Xia Tian paused, "It will be done... Thanks."

After that, it took about four to ten minutes to cross half of the city, and finally arrived at the place - a shantytown located at the junction of urban and rural areas.After being shaken all the way, when Xia Tian jumped out of the back seat of the car, he felt a real pain in his buttocks.

What catches the eye are all low and simple bungalows, dilapidated, many of which even have broken windows, and the ones that are not broken are so blurry that it is impossible to tell whether there are people living in them.The ground is potholed, vomit and beer bottles can be encountered within a few steps, and cigarette butts can be seen everywhere.

Gao Jianfeng shuttled through the dirty and messy environment with ease. After a lot of detours, he finally stopped at the door of a house. The door was wide open. Because of the poor lighting, the inside looked dark.

For a moment, Xia Tian couldn't help thinking about it, thinking that if the word "baozi" was hung on the door, he would be able to cosplay Sun Erniang's shop.

Then he turned his head, and saw a pancake and fruit cart under the wall diagonally ahead...

This really doesn't look like a place that sells bicycles, Xia Tian thought to himself, but it looks like the kind of black-hearted workshop that produces food rich in E. coli.

"Is Wang Ning there?" Gao Jianfeng called out from the door, not loudly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside.

Immediately, a skinny monkey-like boy sprang out quickly. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a black apron hanging around his neck, black hands, and a strong smell of engine oil all over his body. When he saw Gao Jianfeng, his expression Wei Wei is a little surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"

After being led into the house, Xia Tian looked around and saw that there was no furnishings at all, only two dilapidated sofas were placed near the window.One is made of cloth, the other is made of leather, obviously they don't match, but these two have a tacit understanding, and at the same time, they both have a big gash in their backs.

The thin monkey's name is Wang Ning, wiped his hands, and took out two cans of drinks from the back. It is a Jianlibao that has basically disappeared after 2000. Xia Tian has only heard the name but never seen the real body.

While Wang Ning was busy, he didn't stop talking: "I thought you had already started school, and I said you must be busy this semester, so you don't have time to come here. My mother also said yesterday that Jianfeng was in his third year of high school, so he had to make up for it. Bu, let me bring you the walnuts I brought from my hometown, that stuff is not very tasty, as far as she is superstitious, it can nourish the brain."

Gao Jianfeng smiled, he was clean and tidy, and he sat on the dirty sofa with a big face, looking relaxed and at ease. He opened two cans of Jianlibao and pushed one of the cans to Xia Tian.

"Where's Aunt Du, still taking a nap?"

"It's almost time to wake up," Wang Ning looked at the watch on the wall, his eyes stopped on Xia Tian's face, "Brother, this is..."

"My friend, Xia Tian," Gao Jianfeng said, "I want to buy a bicycle. You can choose it later. It should be easy to use."

Wang Ning grinned: "No problem, I have whatever I want, and I guarantee that Brother Tian will be satisfied."

Xia Tian was drinking the can of lychee-flavored "antique" soda, and when he heard this sentence, he almost didn't choke.It seems that following Classmate Gao, not only the degree of attention can be improved, but also the seniority can be raised.However, he quickly put aside this reverie about the title, and turned to think about the vocabulary Gao Jianfeng used to introduce him just now—a friend, not a classmate.

Gao Jianfeng looked around for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "What good stuff is there?"

He stood up, and pointed his jaw towards Xia Tian: "Come here and have a look."

It's fun, of course it doesn't refer to the human flesh buns, but the heavy locomotive.

A 400cc motorcycle, sitting quietly in a corner, ready to be modified.There are all kinds of tools piled up in the ground next to it, and the engine cover is open.

"In-line four-cylinder, I changed the throttle valve and added two exhaust pipes," Wang Ning was overjoyed, "You can try it when it's done?"

Gao Jianfeng stood by the side of the car, tinkering with the engine for a while: "Anyone ordered it?"

"Well, Brother Bin wants it." Wang Ning lit a cigarette, and threw one to Gao Jianfeng. "Next month, he will have a race with Kunzi and his gang on the Ring Expressway."

While chatting, a voice suddenly came from inside: "Ning Ning..."

Wang Ning quickly grabbed the rag and wiped his hands a few times, and went into the house with a cigarette in his mouth. After a while, he only heard him coaxing and persuading him in a low voice: "Mom, you're sick again. It's okay, it's okay. Drink some water first... Brother Feng is here."

The female voice responded weakly: "Jianfeng is here, then help me up, go... go buy some drinks and come back."

Gao Jianfeng immediately raised his voice and said, "No need, Aunt Du, you can lie down, I'll go in and see you."

Before going in, he looked back at Xia Tian: "You will pick a car later, and if you have any needs, just tell Wang Ning, that is my little brother, he is very real."

After finishing speaking, he opened a thin layer of cloth curtain and went into the back room.

Du Jie was half leaning on the bed, just woke up, her eyes were a bit swollen, the light in the room was very dim, which made her complexion sallow, and the white hair on her head seemed to be more than last time, making her look older than her actual age More than ten years old.

Every time Gao Jianfeng saw her, he would unconsciously think of Li Yanan and his own mother.

They are the same age, but they don't seem to be from the same era.

Although Gao Jianfeng's impression of his mother is not so clear, she died too early, when he was only three years old.But every time I think about it later, the mother's face that comes to my mind is young and beautiful.

Life was fixed at that moment forever, and my mother became a person who would never grow old.

The stepmother, Li Yanan, was equally dazzling. She was stylish, tall, capable, brimming with confidence and vitality, completely different from the weak and old woman in front of her.

But speaking of this woman, her weakness and old age are not without reasons...

Gao Jianfeng withdrew his thoughts, sighed very lightly, raised his head, and the woman on the bed smiled.

Wang Ning chatted with the two of them for a few minutes before going out to greet Xia Tian. Gao Jianfeng took a small stool in the corner and sat next to Du Jie by the bed.

"You've been walking a lot lately," he asked softly, "Does your leg hurt?"

Du Jie smiled reluctantly, and patted his right leg through the quilt: "I can't stand, it hurts a little after a long time, I used to sell breakfast until 10:30, but now I can't hold it before ten o'clock, the more It's getting useless."

"It's okay, take your time, and you will definitely recover." Gao Jianfeng hesitated for a while before asking, "You really don't plan to pursue the person who caused the accident?"

Du Jie shook her head: "Forget it, he didn't do it on purpose. A man, his wife ran away, took care of two children by himself, got up early and late to deliver milk, and picked up trash. If it wasn't for hiding a child that day, his three rounds would not have hit him. Fuck me. If you really want him to pay, what will the two children eat and drink? They are both poor people, and they know it’s not easy, so why bother to embarrass others.”

Gao Jianfeng originally planned to persuade her, but when he heard the last sentence, his heart moved slightly, and he followed the trend and died down.

The general situation of the perpetrator who knocked over Du Jie with a tricycle, he heard from Wang Ning, was indeed extremely poor. I'm afraid he might not even be able to pay for the joint replacement surgery. To some extent , Asking him to compensate is also a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't help.

"I've asked, and the doctor suggested that the recovery will be faster after surgery." Gao Jianfeng said as lightly as possible, "I asked my aunt to keep an eye on the orthopedic beds in their hospital, and arrange them as soon as they become available. You don't have to be afraid, It’s not a major surgery, and with the technology of the military hospital, it’s definitely no problem to do it.”

Du Jie nodded hesitantly: "Let's talk about it, the operation fee is also quite expensive. I just set up a pancake stand, and I usually stand there. At most, I will bring a small horse in the future. No one buys pancakes, so I just sit there and rest." Let’s walk slowly along the aisle, it’s okay.”

But you are still young, Gao Jianfeng thought in his heart, if you become disabled in your 40s, if it gets worse in the future, wouldn't it be a burden to Wang Ning?

But these words couldn't be uttered, not to mention he could guess that Du Jie knew it in his heart, so in the final analysis, it was because of money!

"I'm not afraid of surgery, but I always feel that I deserve this disease." Du Jie took out a handkerchief from under the pillow and wiped the sweat from his forehead. If you do it, maybe he won't be too hard to think about it. Being a mother doesn't make sense, and she hurt her child, maybe this time it's a retribution."

"What are you talking about?" Gao Jianfeng frowned imperceptibly, "It's totally two different things."

"I dreamed of An'an again..." Du Jie sighed, and said to himself, "It's been nine years, I don't know if he's doing well there, and it's almost time, I should give him something to burn It's paperwork, and I have to let Ningning do it later."

After a pause, she suddenly smiled, and turned the subject: "Just talking about this, what age is it, and you still practice feudal superstition, or Ningning always calls me stupid. Jianfeng, you are busy this semester. You don't have to come all the time, I'm fine. Let me think about the operation, think again. "

The topic was ended softly, and Gao Jianfeng knew it would be useless to persuade him.Thinking of the envelope in his pocket, with 300 yuan in it, he felt that he couldn't give it to Du Jie directly. He was really afraid that she would buy all the money back in paper money!

Shaking his head, Gao Jianfeng sighed helplessly, turned his eyes, and saw a newspaper on the small table.

Du Jie's education level is limited, and she has no habit of ordering newspapers. The page is a bit old and crumpled, and the date is from last week. I don't know where I picked it up.

As for the content, most of them are urban dramas, or shameless ethical farces. Every title can't wait to be sensational. He has no interest and is about to look away when a line on the front page collides with into his eyes.

——"The nine-year-old intersex man had a successful operation, and his long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled by changing from a boy to a girl."

The room was so stuffy that Gao Jianfeng felt a layer of sweat on his back. Such a cramped space made one feel a little dizzy. The indistinguishable face flashed in front of his eyes, similar to Du Jie's face. They are five points alike, those beautiful eyes are full of mist, and there seems to be a tear hanging from the corner of the eye, which will not fall...

The sweat from the temples landed on the concrete floor in front of him with a clatter.

When Gao Jianfeng came out of the room, Xia Tian was full of melancholy, looking at a milky white modified mountain bike in front of him.

This is already the fourth car he picked, and it is also the least stylish and coolest one here in Wang Ning. Even so, the tires have been changed to sky blue, and there is a circle of light strips on it. When he looks up, he will have that kind of rainbow-like halo, which is really... very inconsistent with his usual low-key and restrained personality...

"That's it," Gao Jianfeng said absent-mindedly, "This bike used to be Phoenix's sophomore, and it's quite similar to the one you're riding today."

Xia Tian turned his face and looked at him silently, thinking that this could also be called Xu Weidong's car quite similar?Student Gao, your two eyes are actually [-] degrees of presbyopia and [-] degrees of astigmatism, right?

However, the slander is the slander, after all Gao classmate worked tirelessly to take him across half of the city, painstakingly and strenuously, he had to accept his love no matter what.

"How much is this car?" Xia Tian asked.

"They are all friends of Brother Feng," Wang Ning said, smoking a cigarette, "Give me thirty."

Xia Tian licked his lower lip, feeling a little speechless for a while.The price was even lower than he expected. Although he could guess the source of the car, it was either sold off or discarded by others. The furniture - the broken sofa that he just sat on that was about to collapse, Xia Tian didn't hesitate any longer, and directly paid the 30 yuan.

Before leaving, Xia Tian saw Gao Jianfeng take out an envelope, and Wang Ning and Wang Ning argued and refused for a long time. Finally, Gao used his height and arm length to completely press Wang Ning against the door, and forced the envelope into the opponent's pocket.

"Let's go, don't let Aunt Du know." Gao Jianfeng waved his hand, "I will let you know when there is a bed."

He turned around, his eyebrows frowned, he didn't look at Xia Tian, ​​he got on the bike directly, and rode away without looking back.
