Back to 1988

Cheng Qing finished the meal and brought it out for Mi Yang to eat first. Mi Yang glanced at the time and said, "Wait, my dad will be back in a while."

Cheng Qing said: "Don't wait for him, he's very busy these days, and he can't delay going out even if he wears a mask, but it's not a crowded place, it doesn't bother you, you eat first."

Only then did Mi Yang move his chopsticks. He hadn’t tasted the taste of home for a long time. He was sick for a few days before and had been drinking porridge. Now he felt that the food at home was very delicious. He buried himself in two bowls of rice before stopping Down.

The little girl also had a big appetite, and ate a small bowl full of rice. Sometimes she just looked up at her brother and ate the rice. She forgot to put the food in, and Cheng Qing put it in the bowl for her.

Mi Yang gave her everything to eat, she didn't even need to coax her, usually she had to negotiate the quantity of green vegetables that she would only eat three chopsticks, but today she ate more, she was very obedient.

After the meal, Mi Yang took the little girl to wash the dishes. After he washed one, he handed it to the little girl to set it up. While washing, he talked to Cheng Qing: "Mom, I told the pharmacy to put in more 84 disinfectant and Banlangen. The potion, is it in?"

Cheng Qing said: "Come in, I've sold some of them these days, why, is it serious in the capital?"

Mi Yang nodded, and said: "It's serious. Let's add more disinfectant and Banlangen granules, as well as masks and white vinegar. By the way, call grandma and ask her to prepare some in advance."

Cheng Qing nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, your grandma has them. Didn't I go home at the beginning of the year? I brought them some, and I'm sure they haven't used them up."

Mi Yang said: "Then give my aunt and the others a call."

Cheng Qing nodded in agreement, and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't it been reported on TV for such a big event?"

Mi Yang said: "It will be there in a while." He remembers the scene of hard to find medicine at that time, and it spread across the country like a panic. , I don’t know if it’s useful, even if it can make you feel at ease.It's only March now, and I won't be able to slowly resume normal work and life until at least July.

Mi Yang chatted with Cheng Qing for a while, and the little girl looked at them eagerly, she was very active in her work.

Yone Zehai didn't enter the house until after nine o'clock in the evening. When he came back, he saw his wife and children in the living room. His expression on his face was much more relaxed, and he said, "Yangyang is back? I feel more at ease when you go home. I don't have time to visit you in the capital at the construction site, and I can't let go..." He changed his shoes, looked up at the little girl in Mi Yang's arms and said, "Xiaoxue hasn't slept yet?"

Cheng Qing lowered his voice and said, "I fell asleep, and I insist on waiting for you to go home together in the living room, so Yang Yang wouldn't dare to move if he hugged her."

Yone Zehai went over to pick up the little girl. The baby's sleeping face was flushed and covered with a small blanket. He kissed his daughter and sent him to her small bedroom with the blanket. After settling down his daughter, he Then he came out and sat there and chatted with Mi Yang in a low voice, asking only about the situation in the capital and Mi Yang's body.

When Cheng Qing brought him a meal, he happened to hear Mi Zehai talking to Mi Yang there.

"...I have been counting this since the year before last. I took people to visit more than 130 unfinished buildings and compared them one by one. I thought this order was safer and would not pose too much risk, but who Knowing that this happened again this year, the city issued a flu prevention notice, and the construction may be slower, depending on the situation." Yone Zehai took the dishes in Cheng Qing's hands, and he was also starving, so he ate after two bites I drank half a bowl.

Cheng Qing said: "It's still that building? I remember it's in the Xujiahui area?"

Yone Zehai said while eating, "Yes, Xujiahui alone has a total area of ​​8 square meters."

Cheng Qing said: "It's an old house more than ten years ago. Didn't someone pick it up halfway before and then ran away? Sister Luo is too courageous this time."

Yonezawa Kai said: "President Luo has a very unique vision, I trust her."

Cheng Qing said: "Hey, I don't understand you guys, anyway, I'm happy if I can sell it."

Mi Yang: "..."

It's not just a sale, it's a multi-fold business. It's a bustling commercial area in the Shanghai stock market. He doesn't dare to think about enclosing such a large piece of land.

Cheng Qing has already talked about other topics with Mi Zehai. She is at home guarding the store and children. The world is small, and she is talking about trivial things that are lively and lively around her, with a smile on her face.

Yone Zehai now wears a suit and leather shoes, but he will go home for dinner every night, and no matter how late the party is, it will never exceed 12 o'clock in the evening. His vision is different from Cheng Qing, but he will always regard this small family as the first in his heart Yes, when he looked at Cheng Qing, he was always like the young man in Shanhai Town with admiration. When he saw Cheng Qing smile, he laughed too. I can always pick up a sentence or two, and everyone in the neighborhood remembers it clearly.

The family sat around in the small living room and talked for a while, Mi Zehai urged Mi Yang to rest, and said to him: "I have already asked for leave from the school, don't worry about anything, reading and reviewing at home is fine too. It’s the same, it’s okay to go back to school after a while even if you don’t do well in the exam, we are smart, dad is happy in any school we go to, and those who don’t compete for rankings are boring.”

Mi Yang knew that he was comforting himself, and was afraid that he would be sad if he could not keep up with the progress after being quarantined at home for a month, so he nodded in response.

After returning to the room, Mi Yang lay on the bed thinking for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

It is estimated that most of the students did not do well in the exams this year. The school holidays are the longest, one or two months are short, and the longest is even three months, which has been connected with the summer vacation.But they are graduating class, so they should be a little special.

Just as he was thinking, the phone flashed twice and a text message came, he opened it and checked, it was from Bai Luochuan.

I haven't looked at my phone since I was eating just now. When I opened it, there were already five or six unread text messages. The first one was a mobile phone arrears notification, followed by the second one was a record of payment, and then the few text messages The text message was sent by Young Master Bai, and the tone can be heard just by reading the words.

"Why did it stop?"

"I've charged it for you, answer the phone."

"Why didn't you answer my phone?"

"What about people?!

……

Mi Yang called him, and he answered in seconds, and his tone was better than expected: "I was about to send you a text message, and you just called. What did you do just now?"

Mi Yang said: "Go home and tidy up, and eat again."

Bai Luochuan said in dissatisfaction, "Eat until 09:30? Your sister is picky eater again, how old is she, and you still need to feed her when she eats, do you really think of yourself as a child?"

Mi Yang: "...she is only 6 years old, she is a child."

Bai Luochuan sneered, noncommittal.

Mi Yang tried to rectify his sister's name, but Bai Luochuan didn't bother to mention it, and said to him: "I called to ask you, do you want to live in my house for a month? Isn't there a family doctor here, and the examination is also convenient. Some, otherwise we will have to go to the hospital for a check-up every two days. It was already an exception for my mother to issue the health certificate to let us come back. Originally, we were supposed to stay in the capital according to the regulations..."

Mi Yang immediately understood, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll pack up and tell my mother to go there early tomorrow morning."

Bai Luochuan agreed, but didn't hang up. After a while, he asked him again: "Are you tired? Don't you have a low fever?"

Mi Yang laughed and said, "No, Aunt Luo took good care of you." He thought for a while, and added, "You took good care of me on the way."

There was a soft snort over there, and said: "It's nothing, I hung up."

Mi Yang told Cheng Qing the next morning, and Cheng Qing expressed his understanding, helped Mi Yang pack another backpack, and said to him: "Okay, let's go, I won't be able to see you without you, Aunt Luo. The Chuan family is not far away, so my mother is relieved to know that you are by my side."

The little girl had two bags of tears in her mouth since Mi Yang packed her backpack, she was about to cry or not, but she cried when she lay by the window and saw the familiar car of the Bai family downstairs.Mi Yang felt sorry for her, but he couldn't coax her with a few pieces of toffee, the baby's nose was red from crying, and finally Cheng Qing hugged her and said, "Don't cry, if you have a sore throat, take medicine and get an injection. "

The little girl hiccupped and suppressed her crying abruptly, but the tears still rolled down.

Cheng Qing hugged her and sent Mi Yang away. When Mi Yang got into the car, he heard them talking. He couldn't hear what the little girl said with a mask on, but Cheng Qing could hear clearly.

Cheng Qing warned: "It's impolite, don't say 'bad guy', that's brother know?"

The little girl was probably angry, she hugged Cheng Qing's neck and turned her head away, refusing to look at the car.

Mi Yang laughed, put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly to cover it up.

When he arrived at Bai's house, he took his backpack and went straight to the second floor.

The Bai family lived in a big house, with a separate floor for them to use. Aunt Wu delivered the meals to the door every day, except that she couldn't go out, it was the same as before.In the past, on Sundays, every time Mi Yang came to see Bai Luochuan, he spent most of the time playing games with Young Master Bai in his room, and then went to the study to do small crafts by himself.

Luo Jiangjing was worried that they would not get used to it on the first day, so she specially stayed with them at home for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she also relaxed, saying: "Be patient, if you need anything, just tell the driver and let him Go buy it for you, wait a month later... oh, you still have to go to school, then wait for the summer vacation, send you abroad to play for a while, as compensation."

Mi Yang repeatedly waved his hands and refused, but Bai Luochuan didn't care, he stood on the second floor and said, "Let's talk, there's nothing interesting outside."

Although they were in the same house, Luo Jiangjing still felt a little uncomfortable seeing her son not being able to come and go freely. She looked up at the second floor and wanted to say "I'll stay with you", but now she couldn't stay. After a trip to the capital, she was at her limit, and there were a lot of things in the company waiting for her to solve, so she could only say sourly: "Mom will come home more often to see you."

Standing on the second floor with his elbows on the stairs, Bai Luochuan nodded to her and said, "Okay."

The study on the second floor is the same as usual, and the two bedrooms are also next to each other.

The two of them don't sleep together now. Bai Luochuan was very interested in that kind of bunk bunk two years ago, so he pressed one in the guest room, and sometimes slept with Mi Yang on the bunk bunk. Mi Yang had packed the upper and lower bunk beds in advance, the pillows and quilts were all new, and the floor was soft.

Mi Yang took out the pajamas from the backpack, took two more books and put them on the table beside him, Bai Luochuan kept looking at his backpack, Mi Yang also noticed it, and asked him: "What's wrong?"

Bai Luochuan looked up at him, and said, "Don't you feel that something is missing?"

Mi Yang looked at it and asked in confusion, "What's missing?"

Bai Luochuan looked at him even more weirdly, but he kept his mouth tightly shut, refusing to tell him.

Mi Yang felt baffled and didn't take it to heart. Although he and Bai Luochuan asked for leave and didn't go to class, they didn't miss their homework. Teacher Wei Xian called and gave them two individual tutoring. Do everything possible to give them a lecture.

After Mi Yang finished his homework, he sent it to Wei Xian with his penguin number, and Wei Xian would send a smiley face to praise him.It’s been a long time since I saw Mi Yang’s expression pack of the first generation, and I really miss it when I saw it suddenly.

The penguin number he is using now is registered with Bai Luochuan. Tencent has just launched the prettier account service, and Young Master Bai chose the birthdays of the two of them as accounts, which are very easy to remember.There are also other students in the class who use UC to chat. Mi Yang is used to the Penguin number, so he doesn’t register any more. He rarely surfs the Internet. Most of the time he likes to do small handicrafts quietly. Then help Cheng Qing with the pharmacy, and take Michelle with him for the rest of the time.

There are also a lot of kindergarten homework for children these days, Cheng Qing is too busy, most of the manual homework is done by Mi Yang and his younger sister, this is one of the reasons why the brother and sister have a good relationship, the little girl especially adores her brother , I feel that Mi Yang is omnipotent and can do everything.

After finishing class with Wei Xian during the day, Mi Yang will go to the guest room to sleep at night.

As soon as I lay down, I felt something was wrong.

He forgot his pillow.

Just came back from the capital yesterday, Cheng Qing took it to wash for him, it is probably not dry yet, it is still hanging at home.

Mi Yang turned over and recited the text for a while with his eyes closed. Just after he recited the second time, he heard two knocks on the door, followed by Bai Luochuan, pushed the door open and walked in. He sat down next to him and groped. He took his pillow and said, "Can you sleep? I said you forgot something. The bag you carried today is just enough to hold a pillow."

Mi Yang lifted the quilt a little and let him in. He was shivered by the temperature on Bai Luochuan's arm, and said, "It's okay, I can sleep without that now."

Bai Luochuan laughed, and said, "Lie, I'll have dark circles under my eyes again the next day." He groped in the dark and touched Mi Yang's face, rubbed his thumb against his eyes, and murmured softly: " I have been squeamish since I was a child."

Mi Yang said: "No?" He felt that he could endure hardships.

Bai Luochuan hugged him, resting his chin on his shoulder, and said, "You catch a cold when the seasons change in spring, you don't want to eat when it's too hot in summer, you always have a sore throat in autumn, and once you start coughing, it keeps recurring throughout the winter...Who am I wrong? ?”

Mi Yang said: "It's not that exaggerated, anyone will get sick."

Bai Luochuan pinched his face and snorted, "You're still a picky eater, you can't even drink a bottle of milk."

Mi Yang: "..."

Mi Yang especially wants to protest this point, it has something to do with the capacity of his stomach, he has tried his best to drink it, the bottle of fresh milk sold in the Bai family every morning is worth two or three bottles sold in the store, it is completely different, okay?

Bai Luochuan patted him on the shoulder, pulled up the quilt a bit, wrapped each other tightly, yawned and said, "It's okay if you forgot to bring a small pillow, I'll sleep with you, just be good and close your eyes for a while and you'll fall asleep." .”

Mi Yang was so angry by him in the middle of the night!

Bai Luochuan watched him move around, and said again: "Shall I recite the text for you?" He recited it in a low voice, and fell asleep before he did it twice. Mi Yang had already recited it several times in his heart just now. My eyelids felt heavy when I heard it. I don't know if it's the credit of the text, or the people around me who have been familiar with him for a long time. Like his little pillow, Mi Yang also slowly fell asleep in the soft and warm new quilt.

The chef of the Bai family asked for leave. These days, Aunt Wu was cooking. Bai Luochuan said that Mi Yang didn't eat well, so he started to picky eaters. He didn't eat well during the day, and his stomach growled when it got dark at night. .

Aunt Wu is only there during the day, and Luo Jiangjing is still busy at the company at night, so she probably lives there too.Mi Yang unpacked the crispy noodles for Bai Luochuan. The young master was so picky about food that he refused to smell it. He lay there and groaned again, closing his eyes and saying impatiently, "I'm so hungry. I want to eat fried rice tomorrow. It's softer. To add ham..."

Mi Yang stood up and said, "Let's go."

Bai Luochuan tilted his head to look at him: "Where are you going?"

Mi Yang said: "Go to the first floor, I'll make fried rice for you."

Bai Luochuan sat up immediately, followed Mi Yang to the kitchen on the first floor, was too impatient to turn on the light when going down the stairs, barely looked at the steps with the moonlight shining from the side window, and walked quickly down the stairs two steps.

There are a lot of things in the refrigerator in the kitchen on the first floor. Mi Yang searched for a while, and brought out vegetables and ham, as well as the rice that the young master refused to eat during the day. Now, after taking them out, add vegetables and meat, and go back together Once the pot was put in the pot, the aroma immediately came out and went straight to the tip of the nose.

Bai Luochuan looked at it strangely, he had never seen Mi Yang cook, "When did you learn it?"

While cooking rice, Mi Yang said, "I learned it when I was taking care of my sister."

After hearing this, Bai Luochuan raised his eyebrows beside Mi Yang, and asked him, "Is this what your sister likes to eat?"

Mi Yang has seen unreasonable people before, but he has never seen him so unreasonable, so he was very angry: "No, Xiaoxue likes to eat steamed food, you ordered this yourself just now!" He took out the fried rice , I was a little hungry, so I divided half a bowl, and gave the rest of the big plate to Bai Luochuan, took a spoon and put it in his hand, "Try it, see if it suits your taste?"

Bai Luochuan ate a big mouthful and couldn't stop the delicious food.

Mi Yang also ate the small half bowl, the heat was not bad, the fried rice tasted good, and the rice tasted just right, occasionally biting into a piece of ham, the salty meat was very fragrant.

Bai Luochuan ate for a while, then suddenly said: "You usually cook for Mi Xue, don't you?"

Mi Yang said: "It's okay, there are more winter and summer vacations, my mother is too busy to take care of the pharmacy."

Bai Luochuan frowned and said, "But it will be fine in a few years."

Mi Yang said: "What?"

Bai Luochuan took a bite of the fried rice, and said vaguely, "After two years, she will be able to work at the age of ten."

Mi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you buying a little maid in the old society? My sister is my own sister, and I won't let her do these things."

Bai Luochuan said: "You can do it, why doesn't she do it? There's no reason for you to serve her."

Mi Yang said: "Then there is no reason for younger sisters to serve elder brothers. They are all helping each other. Anyway, I have nothing to do. It's just a casual meal. It doesn't matter."

Bai Luochuan argued with him while eating, probably because he was not so hungry and relaxed a lot. He could even argue with Mi Yang on "should Mi Xue learn to cook?" After Xue turned 16, she consulted her before making a decision.

Bai Luochuan rubbed his chin and said, "She is 16 years old, that will be ten years later, and we will both be 24 by then."

Mi Yang went to put the empty dishes in the kitchen, and said, "Yes, I should be busy with work for two or three years after graduating from university."

Bai Luochuan laughed at him: "You must be busy making 'little handicrafts' in the biggest library."

Mi Yang also smiled and said, "Maybe."

During the month that Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan were isolated at home, many things happened.

In early April, the Minister of Health stated that the epidemic has been effectively controlled.

In late April, the person in charge and the mayor of Beijing City were dismissed.

At the end of April, the new Minister of Health took office and disclosed the concealment of the epidemic for the first time.

In May, affected by the "SARS" epidemic, it was announced that the May Day Golden Week would be cancelled.

In mid-May, elementary and middle school students across the country began to suspend classes one after another. In order to solve the problems caused by the suspension, the Ministry of Education and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television launched a temporary channel "Air Class".

……

News about the fight against SARS was scrolling on the TV, and banners saying "Unity to fight against SARS" were plastered everywhere. At the same time, nationwide panic began to spread, and people began to snap up all kinds of daily necessities, as long as they were edible and drinkable. Everything has been swept away, leaving only rows of empty shelves in the supermarket.

A large number of people left the capital in a hurry. Anti-epidemic personnel checked the ID cards, tickets and health cards of those who left Beijing one by one in densely populated places such as stations. A few days later, the floating population control began...

Luo Jiangjing watched the report on the news, feeling scared for a while. The TV station was showing that Beijing Normal University was distributing Chinese medicine decoctions for the prevention of "SARS" to the teachers and students of the school. The students on the campus were wearing masks and queuing up to receive the medicine. She saw Afterwards, he patted his chest, knowing in his heart that the restricted personnel had left Beijing, and secretly rejoiced that he had brought two children out before.

Bai Luochuan and Mi Yang's one-month deadline has already come, and now the ban has been lifted, but the family members dare not let them go out due to such a serious situation outside, so they are still locked at home, and teacher Wei Xian is invited to come and tutor them at home.

It was too troublesome for Mi Yang to run around, so he still lived in Bai's house and went to class together, and only went back to his home on Saturdays and Sundays, just like when he was studying at school.

The Bai family is also full of the smell of disinfectant now. Aunt Wu sprays the disinfectant spray from time to time, being very careful.

It is no exaggeration to say that with a cough now, everyone around will be scared and hide away.

Before, a female classmate got Mi Yang's cell phone number from nowhere, called him and asked him about his math homework, but refused to hang up after asking, and wanted to talk to Mi Yang falteringly, but couldn't say anything. sentence is useful.Bai Luochuan's face turned dark when he was listening, he grabbed Mi Yang's hand a little closer to him, and coughed loudly twice, the other party immediately said goodbye like a rabbit and hung up, as if he was afraid that the virus would come along the phone.

Mi Yang: "..."

Bai Luochuan sneered and said, "See? This is human nature."

Mi Yang didn't see anything else, but he saw that he was wayward.

Bai Luochuan was still educating him there: "Don't listen to those girls' pretty words. It's useless at critical times. When I was in the capital, I told them the text message you sent me. When I went back to the hotel to pick up my luggage, the teacher just said it. I asked if I needed someone to take care of you. You don’t know. A group of people hid in fright, not to mention male and female students. The expressions of the people in the hotel changed. This call was even more exaggerated. The phone calls are gone..." He looked at Mi Yang and concluded: "Do you know who treats you well now? Tell me."

It was the first time Mi Yang heard him talk about it, and he was a little moved, and immediately said: "You are the best."

Young Master Bai felt a little more at ease, and said again: "They are all unreliable, you know? It's me, this is called a friend in need, do you understand?"

Mi Yang nodded and said, "Understood." He put his phone on the table beside him, and asked earnestly, "I won't call anymore, let me help you put together the model yesterday?"

Bai Luochuan said: "Don't fight anymore, that's boring, I asked someone to buy a new game console, let's play together."

The driver quickly delivered two big bags of things to the room, this time not only game consoles and books, but also a lot of snacks and drinks.

Bai Luochuan flipped through it, and took out two cardboard boxes that didn't look very high-end. They were colorfully decorated, but the words "game console" were printed on them. He probably grabbed one from a store temporarily, and it was about the size of a palm. , the screen is not big, there are only three buttons below it, when you open it, you can see a Tamagotchi crawling out of the eggshell, and it will grow its mouth to eat.

Bai Luochuan pressed a few times casually, with a look of incredulity on his face: "What the hell is this! Is this also called a game console?"

Mi Yang leaned over to take a look, but he was not surprised, and said calmly: "Xiaoxue also has an electronic pet."

Bai Luochuan pressed it twice, feeling very upset: "I've never seen a game console like this in my life."

Mi Yang was delighted, and said, "I've seen it before. Xiaoxue gave me her red pet egg to play with. Didn't you see it at my house last time?"

Bai Luochuan said: "The one she doesn't want?"

Mi Yang glanced at him and said, "It's the one she likes the most."

Bai Luochuan scoffed.

Mi Yang pointed to Bai Luochuan and said: "Click here, you can also give it a name, then order this for food, this one for a walk, and this one for shoveling its poop away."

Bai Luochuan was shocked: "Does this thing still need to shovel shit!"

Mi Yang said: "Yeah, electronic pets are played like this, have you cultivated them?" Mi Xue had raised them for a long time before, and the little girl even used them to show off to her brother. Mi Yang is quite familiar with it.

Bai Luochuan fed it some food at will, and watched the electronic chicken pecking and pecking at the food in the basin, with an indescribable expression: "What will it grow into in the end? Will it grow wings?"

Mi Yang said: "It's just an ordinary chicken, and it's quite cute."

Bai Luochuan pressed it a few times, didn't think it was fun, threw it aside with a stinky face, Mi Yang picked it up, and named the electronic chicken that had just hatched "Meimei".When Bai Luochuan saw it, he frowned and said, "Why is it called that name?" If he remembered correctly, the female classmate who called just now seemed to have the word "beautiful" in her name.

Mi Yang didn't think so much, and said quietly: "It's a girl, and the gender is shown here, you see."

Bai Luochuan: "..."

Bai Luochuan refused to let him name it, so he took it and deleted it and started typing again. As soon as he wrote "Xue", Mi Yang coughed, and he changed it to Xueqiu.

Mi Yang glanced at him, and Young Master Bai still said righteously: "Look at how white it is, it should be called that."

Probably because of the sense of responsibility given the name, or Mi Yang's eyes from time to time, Master Bai has been raising the electronic chicken for three months.He waited until the news of SARS gradually stopped appearing on TV, and his electronic pet reached the full level, leaving an egg flying away.

Bai Luochuan became angry: "...What the hell game console is this! Isn't this the same as clearing and replaying! Garbage games, they deserve to go bankrupt!"
