Dreaming back to the 90s to help my dad catch a rival in love

August 1997, 9, sunny

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As soon as I left the school gate after school, I saw Comrade Ning Jianguo waiting for me at the school gate.We will go back to Jiandli to visit grandma and have a reunion dinner with her.

Fan Xia also went home today, his father Fan Jian called a few days ago and asked Uncle Zhao to take Fan Xia back for dinner.

Fan Jian's new wife was inconvenient with a big belly, so his father booked a restaurant on the Yellow River Road.Fan Xia said that he would rather eat at my house than eat out.

Of course, my father's craftsmanship is professional.

……

"Dad!"

Ning Xiaobei and Fan Xia pushed the cart side by side, and saw Ning Jianguo as soon as they walked out of the school gate.

He leaned his black bicycle against the flower bed at the school gate, leaned on it slantingly, with a pair of trendy mirrors on the bridge of his nose, dressed in silver and white sportswear, with long legs and thin waist, standing among a group of parents waiting for their children Duili is very handsome.

In the language of Internet celebrities in 2021, it is a model of excellent human parents.

"Ning Xiaobei, is that your father?"

Zhuang Li pushed her pink women's bicycle and walked behind the two of them. After hearing Ning Xiaobei's words, her eyes lit up "swish", and she rushed up in three steps.

"Yeah, that's my dad. What's up?"

Ning Xiaobei was startled by her and stopped in her tracks.

"Tsk tsk, I can't tell..."

Zhuang Li stood on tiptoe and glanced at the school gate, then turned her head, looked Ning Xiaobei up and down, and kept making "tsk tsk" sounds.

"Zhuang Li, you have something to say! What are you doing?"

Fan Xia's face darkened, and he said bluntly to her.

"Ning Xiaobei, your father is so handsome... He is even more handsome than a Hong Kong star. Of course, although he is not as good as Alan Tam, he is not bad."

Zhuang Li was not frightened by Fan Xia's bad attitude at all, and said excitedly, "Is he your own father? Why doesn't he look like him at all?"

Ning Xiaobei's face froze when he said that it was not intended, but the listener had intentions.

"I see, you must look like your mother, so delicate, like a little girl."

Zhuang Li never hesitated to praise handsome guys.She had already judged the boys in their class one by one with the female classmates during recess.

In terms of good looks, Ning Xiaobei is definitely the number one in the class, currently ranked No.1 on the beauty list.

Ning Xiaobei is like a handsome man from a Taiwanese romance novel, with fair skin, gentle tone, and slightly curly hair, which makes people sink into it.

Compared with his peers, Ning Xiaobei is mature and gentle. He is the elder brother of neighbors described by Xi Juan, Yu Qing and Zuo Qingwen.It is the white moonlight that the talented woman Zhang Ailing said, it is the cinnabar mole, it is the moonlight in the hearts of all girls...

——The above description is from the preparatory class "Beautiful Boys", author: Zhuang Li

"What the hell, who looks like a little girl, how can my boss look like a woman, you are like a little girl!"

Fan Xia was furious after hearing Zhuang Li's words.

Boys of this age don't think it's a face-saving thing to be praised by girls for their good looks.Especially Fan Xia who was full of "masculinity". He raised his eyebrows and gave Zhuang Li a hard look.

"That's enough 'Li Kui', you are not bad, anyway, you are No.3 on the beauty list."

Zhuang Li nodded at Fan Xia, and said comfortingly.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xia became even more angry.

"What? How did I become 'No.3'? Who is ahead of me?"

It's okay to lose to the boss, how can he be No.2, why is he third?

Ning Xiaobei looked at Fan Xia's indignant expression speechlessly, thinking that you kid is actually serious?

"Say! Who is No.2, tell me the name."

A junior high school boy is very serious about his dignity. Although this list is nonsense, can he, Fan Xia, admit defeat?

"Ding Zheyang."

"What? 'Frog with four eyes'? Why does he compare with me?"

Ding Zheyang's "Millennium Old Second" hat was finally taken off after he entered junior high school... because he couldn't pass the second place in the exam, although Ning Xiaobei was still the first.

No. [-] Middle School deserves to be No. [-] Middle School, and Class No. [-] is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which gathers the best students in the whole district.

Although it has only been half a month since the school started today, it has already gone through a qualifying test and several preliminary tests in various subjects.Ning Xiaobei still dominates the crowd with nearly perfect scores, leaving Yan Bingru, who has always been picky, speechless.

Ding Zheyang's grades in class one can only be regarded as mid-range. He is now at the same table as Zhuang Li, and they sit in the middle of the classroom. They can only look at the back of Ning Xiaobei's excellent head every day.

As for Fan Xia, it was even worse... the last qualifying exam, he was ranked fifth from the bottom in the class, only two places away from the "trash can" replacement.

Now Fan Xia is sitting in the last row of "special seats", almost a galaxy away from Ning Xiaobei who is sitting in the row near the window.

However, he is in a very good mood, and he has already made a guarantee with Ning Xiaobei that he will try to get in the bottom ten of the class in the next monthly exam... At least move forward one row.

"Don't you think Ding Zheyang's eyes are very melancholy? He is the green young man that foreigners say, can't you see it?"

"What the hell? What foreign language does the boss speak?"

All kinds of green onions have come out, whether to praise or scold.

"I have nothing to say to you, there is a spark between us."

Zhuang Li shook her head at Fan Xia regretfully, rang the taxi bell, and left happily.

"What are you talking about? I think you girls are too blind, and you just like little boys! Ding Zheyang's glasses, the lenses are thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle. It's unreasonable to be ranked ahead of me."

Fan Xia was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Okay, it's not the ranking of Liangshan heroes, why are you so obsessed with it?"

Ning Xiaobei patted Fan Xia on the shoulder, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Speaking of Liangshan heroes, boss, who is missing in your set of 'Water Margin Hero Cards'? I've been eating crispy noodles for the past few days, and I've never collected 'Fire Eye Suanni Deng Fei' and 'Turning River Mirage'. Tong Meng'. I have five of 'Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun'..."

The unscrupulous little raccoon used a set of "Water Margin Hero Cards" to attract boys all over China to go crazy for it.

"Real World" Li Ning Xiaobei still has several limited editions in the tin box.But now that he is mentally older, he naturally won't be keen on this stuff, and throws the card that is issued by eating crispy noodles to Fan Xia directly.

Fan Xia really doesn't think about eating and drinking for this set of cards now. Collecting [-] hero cards is a major event for him after reading books.

The two walked to the school gate, and Ning Jianguo took two steps forward.Seeing Fan Xia's angry appearance, he couldn't help but look at Ning Xiaobei suspiciously.

"What's the matter, little devil?"

"I was stimulated. I was told by the girls in our class that I was not as handsome as me."

Ning Xiaobei replied with a smile.

"Hey, isn't that a matter of course. I just stood at the gate of your school for a while. Among these students, tall ones, short ones, fat ones, and thin ones, none of them are as 'outstanding' as my son This shows that the girls in your class are very discerning."

Ning Jianguo was always proud when he praised Ning Xiaobei.

"Dad, stop talking, I'm so sorry."

Seeing the eyes cast by the surrounding parents, Ning Xiaobei blushed and urged his father to leave by bike.

"Goodbye, Fan Xia, I'll bring you mooncakes when I come back."

Ning Xiaobei waved at Fan Xia, jumped on the bicycle and walked away.

Fan Xia stood where he was, looking at the happy backs of the father and son, he couldn't help lowering his head, and bit his lips.

"Dad, mom..."

------

"I'm back~"

Ning Xiaobei took the lead and rode his bicycle into the alley in Jiandli.

It was dinner time, and the smell of food came from the kitchen and living room of every household.Because the weather is still hot, many people simply put the dining table at the door, shake the cattail fan, blow the cool breeze, and wait for the moon to rise.

"Xiaobei is back. The future college students are back to visit their old neighbors."

"Jianguo, come out for a drink or two. My family's food is good today. I went to the deli and chopped a duck. Xiaobei came over to eat a leg. Why are you so polite to Uncle?"

"Xiaobei, come on, open your mouth, and try my family's scallion oil and taro."

When the neighbors saw them, they greeted them warmly.

Ning Xiaobei pushed the cart and walked along the alley. Before reaching the door, he was half-fed by the neighbors.

This is the human touch of the old house. Living here, although there is no toilet or elevator, it is full of human fireworks.

In this long, gray alley, people are not locked in their own small worlds.The old neighbors who have been together for more than ten years, even longer, have become like family members.

While chewing, Ning Xiaobei couldn't help but recall that in the "real world", before she learned that Jiandeli was going to be demolished, her grandma suddenly fell ill and died in the end.

Perhaps it was also because she suddenly knew that the place where she had lived for half her life would be wiped out, and she was terrified and unable to let go, so she finally left the last moment of her life in the old house.

It's like Aziz cat, jumped off the truck and jumped into the ruins of the old house...

"Xiaobei, what's the matter? Grandma is calling you."

In the main room on the first floor, the old lady was sitting upright, waiting for Xiaobei to greet her.

Who knew that the child would look dazed after he entered, as if he had been captivated by something, and he didn't speak or call anyone.

The old lady was suddenly a little unhappy, and she lowered her face.

"Ah... good woman. Good woman, I miss you so much."

Ning Xiaobei finally came to his senses, seeing grandma's displeased face, without saying a word, he took two steps forward, hugged grandma, and swayed from side to side.

This old lady has a bad temper. If you make her unhappy, don't think about it this Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Hey, boys are saying 'Luo Songbai'. Okay, hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Xiaomei has cooked a table of dishes, and I'm waiting for you to come back."

The coaxed old lady patted her eldest grandson on the back, smiled and pushed him away.

Ning Xiaobei turned into the kitchen and just turned on the faucet when he heard a few inaudible cat meows, then lowered his head and was startled.

"what happened?"

Under the feet, the long-lost Aziz cat raised its round head high, and stared closely at the long-lost little master with a pair of green eyes.

The most important thing is - there is actually a little milk cat that has not opened its eyes hanging in its mouth.A black and white cat the size of Ning Xiaobei's palm was meowing softly.

"Meow~"

Azi put the kitten on the concrete floor, yelled at Ning Xiaobei softly, and hooked his ankle with his tail.

"Is Aziz showing Xiaobei your child?"

The nanny Xiaomei happened to walk over from the living room, ready to bring over the chopped chicken.Seeing this, he bowed his head and smiled.

"Az's child? Az gave birth to a kitten?"

"Just gave birth last week. A total of four were born, all of which were booked in advance by the neighbors, and they will be sent away after the full moon. Azi is now a 'sham mother (maternity)', eating well every day, dun There is fish and meat in the meal, and the old lady loves it."

Xiaomei turned her head and said.

"Great!"

Ning Xiaobei was immediately overjoyed.

"Real world" Liaz was a single female cat before parting with their father and son for the last time. She did not expect to give birth to a kitten here.

He squatted down and wanted to reach out to touch the little milk cat, but thinking of his illness, he had to withdraw his hand again.

Why!Dad is right, I want to strengthen the exercise.

The doctor at the Children's Hospital also said that if the child develops well and exercises well, it is still possible to cure the child's asthma.

Ning Xiaobei thought about it, and rubbed Aziz's soft belly with his toes regretfully.

Walking back to the main room, Ning Jianguo had already boiled Shaoxing wine and poured a glass for himself and the old lady.

"When Xiaobei gets older, he can drink with grandma. But let's drink orange water now."

Xiaomei smiled and filled Ning Xiaobei's water glass with orange juice.

Ning Xiaobei looked at the table full of dishes, and couldn't help but look at her in admiration, "Sister Xiaomei, your cooking skills are no worse than my father's."

According to the customs of the Shanghainese during the Mid-Autumn Festival, today must eat duck, edamame, and taro.

Today, Xiaomei cooked old duck soup with dried bamboo shoots. It was as white as snow and had a tangy aroma. She also sprinkled some red wolfberries for decoration.In addition, I also made bad edamame, sweet-scented osmanthus candied taro, and several other meat dishes, all of which have a good appearance.

The most important thing is that she has a heart, and all the things she makes are soft and easy to chew, which are most suitable for the elderly with bad teeth.

"Ah, it's really a blessing for our Ning family to invite Xiaomei to take care of grandma. Xiaomei, let me toast you."

Ning Jianguo was really touched. Now he can't go home every day, and he relies on Xiaomei to take care of him both inside and outside the old house.Regardless of her young age, this girl is quick in doing things and has a careful heart, which is really rare.

"Yeah, when will you ask for a capable daughter-in-law like Xiaomei to come back, then my old lady will feel at ease after she dies."

Grandma picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said.

Ning Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat.

Grandma really wanted Dad to find a companion.

"What did grandma say, I'm just a countryman. If you are such a good brother, you will definitely find a Shanghai girl who is a hundred times better than me."

Embarrassed by what she said, Xiaomei blushed, and with the excuse that crabs were still steaming on the stove, she turned around and slipped into the kitchen.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Ning Jianguo glanced at his silent son and said with some displeasure.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Granny Ning's temper came up, she frowned and said in a low voice, "When Xiaobei grows up, he will eventually start a family and start a business by himself. At that time, my old woman will walk away with two legs, so you will be the only one left? "

"Mommy..."

Ning Jianguo frowned and was about to refute.It just so happened that Xiaomei came in again with a crab, so she had no choice but to press it down.

After dinner, it was already the middle of the moon, Ning Xiaobei sat in front of the courtyard with his grandmother, looking at the full moon hanging in the clear night sky.

Somebody in the alley turned on the radio, and a well-known old song floated out of the window, and the lyrics were appropriate to the occasion—the moon goes, so do I, and I will send my elder brother to the entrance of the village.

"Xiao Bei, let's go."

After washing the dishes, Ning Jianguo came out of the kitchen wiping his hands.

"I have to leave so early, let's sit down and rest. I'll ask Xiaomei to make you a cup of tea. People from my hometown not only sent crabs here today, but also this year's good tea, and you just happened to bring a can back home. "

Grandma raised her head and looked at Ning Jianguo with reluctance in her eyes.

Now that my son has moved out, although he comes back to visit at least three or four times a month, the old lady still wants to be together with her family for a long time on this day of family reunion.

"Mom, Xiaobei still has class tomorrow. I'll come see you after work tomorrow."

"Why do you come here every day? Doesn't Xiaobei have to go to class tomorrow? Come back on the weekend."

As the old lady said, she turned her head and patted the back of Ning Xiaobei's hand.

"Xiao Bei, do you remember what the good woman said?"

Ning Xiaobei nodded.

The father and son pushed the cart and walked under the moonlight. When they finally left Jiandli and walked to the main road, Ning Jianguo couldn't help lowering his head and asked, "Xiaobei, what did grandma tell you?"

"Just let me study hard and take the No. 1 exam. When the Chinese New Year comes, I will give me a big red envelope."

Ning Xiaobei's eyes flickered, but fortunately the street lights were not bright, and Ning Jianguo couldn't see clearly.

"Oh, Lennon is already No.1, how can I improve?"

Ning Jianguo smiled reassuringly.

"However, don't put too much pressure on me. It's good to relax occasionally. Do you have to relax in your studies?"

"Well. I know."

Ning Xiaobei nodded all the way.

Actually, what grandma told him just now was...

"Xiaobei, just be a good woman and beg Nong. Help the good woman to pay attention to what kind of good women are around Nong's father. If Nong's father is really lonely and dies, even if the good woman dies, he will not feel at ease in the bottom."

Good girl, I promise Lennon.

I want to find a companion for my father, so that Ning Jianguo can live a happy life with his wife and children on the bed from now on!
