Back to 1988

Wang Bing on the other side saw that he had tried it, and felt as if he had passed a work inspection. He rubbed his hands and asked him, "Bai Luochuan, didn't you say that you have the latest game brought from the Shanghai stock market? Can you lend me a couple of days?" .”

Bai Luochuan said: "No, I'll give it to you directly."

He liked the swing very much, and didn't want to leave, so he asked someone to take it. The man came with a bag full of heavy things, and saw that the edges and corners in the bag were all square, like a swing. box or something.Fu Qisheng was bored and didn't like to talk, but his mother usually worked in the old house of the Bai family, and he often came to help. When he saw it, he immediately went over to help, and brought the things together.

Fu Qisheng had great strength, and it seemed easier to carry it than an adult. He weighed it and looked down, showing a slightly strange expression.

Wang Bing was still eagerly waiting there, Fu Qisheng brought it to him and said to him: "You can play by yourself, neither my brother nor I want it."

Wang Bing laughed and said, "Then what a shame, the fruits of everyone's labor together..." He took the falling hand and said strangely: "What is this, "Huanggang Question Bank"?! What about the agreed game? !"

Bai Luochuan glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "We usually play with this. I won these from the lottery draw at the fraternity last time. I don't need them now, so give them to you."

Mi Yang couldn't help laughing beside him, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "It's fun, this suits you, and prepare for the college entrance examination in advance."

Wang Bing stood there in a daze, holding a bag of reference books and wanted to cry, "But I don't want this."

Zhao Haisheng, who was working, was happy, and deliberately bluffed him: "Hey! Study hard, if there is something wrong, put it away!"

Wang Bing said angrily: "You are a deserter who dropped out of school, you say me?!"

Zhao Haisheng sighed, twisted the screw and said: "I, I am leaving the opportunity to those who need it more. I will work and support my brother."

Wang Bing: "Your brother is going to wander the world with you, do you think I don't know?"

Zhao Haisheng: "I let him read, he, he has to listen!"

Fu Qisheng stayed silent, and when Zhao Haisheng wanted a wrench, he handed it over, and his work was very solid.

The swing was ready soon, Bai Luochuan tried it with a little force with his hands, and asked Mi Yang to sit on it, "See if it works."

Mi Yang is the shortest among them, and Bai Luochuan's long legs can touch the ground, so he can barely touch his toes, but thinking that he will grow taller again in a few years, he nodded and said: "Yes, that's it Bar."

Bai Luochuan said to Zhao Haisheng: "That's all."

The two Zhao Haisheng brothers usually help the family with work, and their movements are neat and fast. Zhao Haisheng looks tall and big, but his mind is quite delicate. He not only cleaned up the surrounding wood and extra ropes, but also cleared the nearby grass After a while, he smiled and said: "It will be fine if it grows like this for two days. This grass is hardy, and it won't be broken if you step on it, but you are afraid of shoveling."

Bai Luochuan asked: "Do you still understand this?"

Zhao Haisheng said: "My dad has contracted projects for the past two years, and he has taken on all kinds of work! He has also helped build buildings and lay lawns in the city."

Bai Luochuan nodded.

After setting up the swing, they all left. Zhao Haisheng and his brothers also specially helped Wang Bing bring those reference books to send him home. Zhao Haisheng couldn't speak clearly, but his voice was loud enough. He smiled and said as he walked: "Bingzi, it's enough for you to watch, it's been two years! Study hard, ah!"

Wang Bing: "..."

Wang Bing couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to, Zhao Haisheng was more active than him, and kept carrying him back home.Wang Bing followed behind sullenly, looking at Fu Qisheng who was walking silently carrying his things, he felt that this was not his brother anymore, this gloomy little boy was simply an accomplice.

Bai Luochuan only tried the swing once, and didn't sit on it himself. Seeing that Mi Yang didn't intend to play, he took him to the study room, and smiled as he walked, "Grandpa even asked someone to buy some books back today. , I made a list and bought a copy of the ones we read when we were young, but I don’t know if the version is right, let’s go and see together.”

Mi Yang was interested in books, so he followed him there.

It was still the old study room. After being refurbished, it was repainted with a layer of oil, and new glass windows were made. The high ceiling separates the upper and lower floors.Especially the attic on the second floor has the best lighting. When the sun shines in, the ground seems to be warm, warm and comfortable.

Mi Yang followed him in, and saw a lot of new books on the first floor. Some of them were story books they read when they were young, but the editions were different. The new editions were all colored pages, which were different from ten years ago.

Bai Luochuan was able to recite many of them, and he pointed to one and said, "This sentence didn't exist in the first place, but it was newly added."

Mi Yang leaned over to take a look. He didn't remember that clearly, but he felt familiar after reading the story: "You seemed to like this very much before, and you always asked Aunt Luo to tell you."

Bai Luochuan laughed, closed the book and said, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the Nautilus, how romantic. I still wanted to be an explorer at that time."

Mi Yang asked him, "What about now?"

Bai Luochuan scratched his chin, smiled and said, "I want to start a family." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked upstairs, still greeting Mi Yang: "Let's go, go upstairs and have a look, and I have prepared some small things for you."

Mi Yang felt that the weather was a bit hot, and his face was very hot.

He followed Bai Luochuan up. The second floor was said to be an attic, but it was actually about the same size as the first floor. It was very spacious. The surrounding bookcases were inlaid around the wall, and some books were also scattered here and there.There is a large table in the middle, which is enough for three or four people. There is also a small cabinet that can be pushed next to the window, and there are many tools for repairing books. The small cabinet is the same as the one he is used to in Shanghai. Similarly, the tools placed on it are exactly the same, and you can tell who made them with care at a glance.

Mi Yang stood there and picked it up differently, and sure enough, his initials were engraved on it.

Bai Luochuan stood aside and asked him: "How is it? Is it easy to use?"

Mi Yang smiled and said, "It's very good."

The corners of Bai Luochuan's lips also raised a little. He gave Mi Yang the key to the study, and let him sit there to get used to the tools. He found some interesting books and read them. After flipping through them twice, He went downstairs again and brought a photo album, approached Mi Yang and said, "Here's this for you."

Mi Yang turned his head and saw the old photos in the album, which were about ten years ago, and they showed him and Bai Luochuan when they were only two or three years old. Sitting on a stool and honestly taking pictures, the two little dumplings were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Xiaomi Yang was still trying to smile there, and the little Bai Luochuan in the photo was already annoyed, tilting his head, which was particularly uncooperative.

Mi Yang smiled: "Is this the time you were called a little girl? I... my mother told me that because I ordered this and wore a white lace bib, some little boys said you were beautiful I want to kiss you." Mi Yang made a gesture, "Such thick snow, you can push people into the snow with a slap."

No matter how good Bai Luochuan's memory is, he can't remember such trivial things. He only vaguely remembered that he had fought when he heard Mi Yang say it, but Commander Bai had too many fights when he was a child, and beat up too many people, so he was lazy Don't think about it.

He flipped through a few pages, read through these old photos with relish, then put the photo album into Mi Yang's hand and said: "I added this, and this is for you. There is a copy, and you can also wash a set and give it to me."

Mi Yang said: "Which one?"

Bai Luochuan made it very clear this time: "Under the TV cabinet in the living room, there is a red leather photo album on the left glass."

Every year when Mi Yang went back to his grandma's house, the old lady took a few photos of him very happily, developed them and put them in a small photo album, which Bai Luochuan remembered at some point.

Mi Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask my grandma."

Young Master Bai was quite happy, and whispered to him with his chin resting on his shoulder: "When I went back home, grandma showed me a picture of you sitting on a swing to take a picture."

Mi Yang said: "Do you still remember? There was indeed one, but it was a long time ago, but it was sitting on tires, not wooden boards."

Bai Luochuan held his hand and kissed it, and said, "I'll give you a better one."

The little swing made by Mrs. Cheng’s house was hung on the old elm tree at home. It can only be played by children. Older ones cannot go up it. After getting it down, Mi Yang is the only one who has sat on the small swing and taken pictures.

The swing that Bai Luochuan made in the backyard of Bai's old house also only wanted to sit on it for one person.

After the relocation, the two families are much closer together, and the study in the Bai family is really attractive, so Mi Yang often comes here to do some small handicrafts.

Although Mi Hong didn't let him go and learn from him, Mi Yang was also practicing by himself. He was immersed in his own little handiwork, which was the same as relaxing for him. Take your time and watch the broken books reassemble. The wrinkles on the pages of the book were also smoothed out, and I felt more at ease in my heart.

He was busy with his work on the attic of the study, while Bai Luochuan sat reading a book, and sometimes he would make a phone call and talk to someone in a low voice. It seemed to be that cousin from the capital, discussing work matters in a low voice with the other party.

Two people are in one place, busy with their own business, cuddling each other without disturbing each other.

After staying for a few days, Bai Luochuan discovered another problem.

Mr. Bai is a very picky eater. Except for sea cucumbers, he doesn't even eat fish, shrimp, beef, and mutton. His diet is so light that it's a bit strange.

Bai Luochuan watched him remove the sea cucumber porridge made in the kitchen again, and after eating only two mouthfuls of clear porridge, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Grandpa, you said sea cucumbers are tasteless, why don't you eat fish soup?"

Old Master Bai said: "It's fishy, ​​I don't like it."

Bai Luochuan said: "I'll go buy something else tomorrow, how about just eating porridge."

Bai Lao waved his hands and said, "No, I can't eat that much, just take a bite."

Bai Luochuan saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight, and he seemed unwilling to eat anything. He was anxious and wanted to go out to buy his favorite food when he got up.Bai Lao was annoyed by him, and shouted: "Come back, I'll just eat."

He asked the kitchen to bring back the bowl of millet and sea cucumber porridge, and he drank it slowly, then showed his grandson the bottom of the bowl, and said with a smile, "Okay? You are really strict as a supervisor. I’m over 70, can’t I be picky eaters for a few days?”

Bai Luochuan nodded and said: "Okay, but you can't always be picky eaters. You are allowed to be picky eaters once a week."

Bai Lao wanted to drive him away when he was at the dining table, and when he finished eating, he said to him: "Go quickly, don't be mad at me at home, I will give you a holiday today, go play with those children." These two days Zhao Haisheng The two brothers came over often, and Bai Luochuan had a good chat with them. Bai Lao had seen him twice, and he didn't like to keep his grandson in front of him, so he sent him out.

Bai Luochuan thought for a while and said, "All right, then I'll come back later."

Bai Lao smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't come back, just live in Yangyang's house, didn't you say that there are a few kittens in the house?"

When Mi Yang was mentioned, Young Master Bai's face softened a lot, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Lao had been waiting for him to go out, and when he was far away, his face changed, and he stood up on crutches and went to the bathroom. The tightly closed wooden door was well soundproofed, but the sound of vomiting could be faintly heard.

The family doctor was immediately called in. He patted the door panel twice and shouted in a trembling voice, "Bai Lao? Bai Lao, please open the door and let me go in and have a look."

After a while, the door was opened.

Bai Lao has already tidied himself up, and there is no trace of dirt in the bathroom. He has lived a lifetime, and will be strong for a lifetime. As long as he is standing, he is still tall and straight like a pine, as decent as before.It's just that his pale face and slightly trembling hands can still tell his weakness at a glance. The doctor helped the old man out, showed him carefully, took the medicine for him, and said softly: "What is this? Why bother, just don’t eat.”

Bai Lao shook his head and said: "It's not a problem, just two mouthfuls, my body can last until now and I'm content."

The doctor sighed and didn't persuade anymore.

The old man closed his eyes and rested for a while, then asked again, "Did you find the lawyer?"

The doctor said: "Yes, you don't need to find a lawyer so early, if you go for treatment..."

Bai Lao still closed his eyes, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not going, I'm old, I don't want to suffer that pain again."

The doctor opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but the words rolled around his mouth a few times before he retracted them, turning into a soft sigh.
