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

Although the Double Ninth Festival has passed for many days, Ning Xiaobei still accompanied Fan Xia to the nursing home.

His mood has been adjusted in the "dream world", and he feels that he can face Uncle Zhao Jingwen.

However, thinking that in the "dream world", Uncle Zhao and Dad have become a couple, and now that Dad is gone, Uncle Zhao must be more sad than before.

"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

Fan Xia was wearing a seat belt, looked at Ning Xiaobei's slightly pale face, and asked worriedly.

"Ah... let's go shopping first, it's not good to go to see the old man empty-handed."

"Hey, it's okay, you know my uncle, he doesn't value these red tapes the most. He was very happy to know that you can go. He called me last night and kept telling me, 'drive early in the morning to pick up Xiao Bei. But it can't be too early, let Xiaobei sleep for a while'. Hey, do you think it's just right for me to come at this time?"

I haven't seen each other for one night, Fan Xia seems to be in a particularly good mood, and he started joking around.

He didn't wear a police uniform today, but changed into a dark casual suit with a slightly lighter colored shirt inside, with a few buttons left open on purpose, looking chic and unrestrained.

The hair was also carefully scratched with hair mud, and the roots stood up, and the whole person looked like a beautiful peacock.

With one hand on the steering wheel, he looked at An Jing from the corner of his eye|Ning Xiaobei who was sitting on the side, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Fan Xia..."

Ning Xiaobei pointed to the commercial center in front, "Let's go to the front and buy some clothes for your uncle later, okay? Let's treat it as a gift for the Double Ninth Festival."

"Okay, okay. Of course, of course."

Fan Xia couldn't help nodding, desperately holding back the smile that almost flooded his cheeks.

"Buy you a woolen sweater too. It's been a few months and you're still wearing such thin clothes. Are the salaries of the police so low?"

Ning Xiaobei glanced at his bare neck and said.

"I……"

Fan Xia just wanted to say that there is no need to wear a woolen sweater in the weather of only a few degrees, and everyone agrees with my fit figure, wouldn't it be a pity not to show it.

But when he heard that Ning Xiaobei wanted to buy clothes for him, he narrowed his happy eyes and closed his mouth obediently.

Speaking of it, even Fan Xia himself didn't know how he would be so obedient to Ning Xiaobei.In the police station, he can be regarded as a half-sized "boss", and he is usually very dignified in front of his subordinates.No matter how vicious a criminal is in his hands, he can obediently explain the problem.

But after seeing Ning Xiaobei, his fiery and fierce temper somehow softened, subdued, and lost his temper.Subconsciously want to follow him, cling to him, even he himself is baffled, what is wrong with this.

The last time he came to the nursing home alone and told his uncle Zhao Jingwen about the situation, Zhao Jingwen kept his mouth open for a long time.

"Uncle, you should tell me."

Fan Xia asked anxiously.

"I... I can't tell. Think for yourself. He's your brother, not mine."

Zhao Jingwen waved his hand, his wrinkled face showed some embarrassment.

"Oh, then you have been brothers with Uncle Ning for a lifetime, so please help me refer."

"Can't refer to. You go back."

Zhao Jingwen simply issued an order to evict the guests.

"Next time, bring Xiaobei with you."

Although Jianguo is gone, when he sees Xiaobei, it seems as if he can return to the happy time back then.

"Then what if Xiaobei doesn't come?"

"Then don't come here either. Walk around, you'll be annoyed if you see it..."

After driving his nephew out of the reception room of the nursing home, Zhao Jingwen looked at the golden osmanthus flowers dotted among layers of green leaves outside the window, and sighed long.

"'Brother'? Such a 'brother' is not easy to do."

His relationship with Jianguo was kept a secret from these two children for a lifetime.

If he could have mustered up the courage earlier, confessed to them the relationship between himself and what he had seen, and could have taken Jianguo to his side to take care of him, how could he have died so alone.

At least... When he was dying, he could be by his side and accompany him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingwen couldn't help wiping the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand covered with age spots.

"This road is not easy to walk... Hey..."

----

After visiting Zhao Jingwen in the nursing home, Fan Xia hooked Ning Xiaobei's shoulder and excitedly began to arrange the next itinerary.

"How about going to dinner at night? Or go to the movies. What movie is playing recently, "The First Furnace of Steel"?"

"Come on, I've got an appointment."

"Who?"

Fan Xia asked cautiously.

"Chang Leyun. We made an appointment to have dinner together."

As Ning Xiaobei said, he turned on his phone and prepared to call a taxi.

"Wait, when did you get in touch with her, why didn't I know?"

Ning Xiaobei turned around and couldn't help laughing at Fan Xia's face as if facing a formidable enemy, "I met her not long ago when I went back to my alma mater...ah, you won't keep in touch with her, right?"

"Then, didn't her mother cooperate with my uncle in business before? I heard from my uncle that she is now working as a music teacher in No. [-] Middle School... Hey, don't talk about me, why did you think of having dinner with her?"

There are some things that Fan Xia really can't say.

Just a few years ago, his uncle and Aunt Wang messed up their love affairs, and once thought of making them a couple.Thinking that they have studied together, are similar in age, and have been neighbors, if they can really get married, that would be great.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, and really tried to date this so-called "childhood sweetheart" for a while... Now that he thinks about those three months, it's simply unbearable to look back on.

After graduating from junior high school, Aunt Wang and the others moved out of Tongzilou, and they gradually lost contact with Chang Leyun.Having not seen each other for many years, neither of them had anything to say, but they had to force a smile because of their parents' expectations.

Although Fan Xia is no longer the black-skinned boy he was back then, he has also become a police officer, but he still maintains a carefree, even somewhat "straight male cancer" style of behavior.And Chang Leyun, who graduated from the Conservatory of Music and is full of petty bourgeois sentiments, is exactly the opposite of him, a "senior female literary youth", with a delicate and sensitive mind.

These two people, on a rest day, they want to go to the boxing gym and go to the gym to push iron, otherwise they are paralyzed at home, drinking beer and watching the game; the other is to devote all their spare time to various In concerts, exhibitions and various social activities, in the most popular words now, she suffers from severe "social arrogance".

The tempers of the two people couldn't be unified. Gradually, the date dropped from twice a week to once, and finally turned into not seeing each other once a month. Everyone was busy with their own business.

So three months later, the pair of "lovers" who carried the expectations of both parents parted ways.

If they are strangers who have never known each other, they will break up after breaking up, and at worst they will blackmail each other.

The roads in Shanghai are so wide. It takes two and a half hours to take Metro Line 11 from Kunshan Huaqiao Town to Chuansha Disneyland. It is so easy not to meet someone.

However, due to the face of their parents, these two cannot completely "settle the settlement".

Every year and festival, after the old people on both sides meet, they will take out this past event and "whip the corpse" when they go home, nagging that if they succeeded back then, they might even have a second child now. Make people less disturbed.So although they still keep the other party's contact information, the two don't have much contact with each other, and even develop in the direction of looking at each other and loathing each other.

Therefore, when Chang Leyun, who was sitting by a carved and painted glass floor-to-ceiling window in a private restaurant in Sinan Mansion, saw the two of them appearing together, she almost crushed the champagne glass filled with Parisian sparkling water. .

"Why is Lennon here?"

Chang Leyun stared wide-eyed with green colored contact lenses, and asked aggressively.

In order to meet Ning Xiaobei, Chang Leyun specially dressed up today.

Knowing that Ning Xiaobei chose this old Shanghai private restaurant with its good atmosphere and autumn garden scenery as its selling point.On such a cold day, she specially wore a heavy silk cheongsam in ermine gray with a small woolen shawl with dark patterns of the same color, and spent the whole morning just playing with her hair. How could she be so well-dressed by Fan Xia? Poppy saw it!

"What? You run this restaurant? Erniang Sun?"

Fan Xia angrily pulled out his chair and sat down.

"Hey, aren't you cold? It's been a few months, and you still only wear this? Is the salary of the teachers in No. [-] Middle School very low?"

As Fan Xia said, he specifically pointed to the plaid turtleneck sweater he had just put on - it was picked out by Ning Xiaobei just now, and he put it on before leaving the department store.Then Ning Xiaobei mocked him just now, modified two words and gave it to Chang Leyun.

"I'm wearing thick silk|socks, it's not cold."

Chang Leyun put down the water glass, gritted his silver teeth and said.

"I don't understand anything about you women."

"Each each other."

"I don't want to understand either."

"Mi Bunny."

"Mi Sui."

Ning Xiaobei didn't say a word, watching the two of them coming and going.

At this moment, the waiter at the side came over quietly and explained to Fan Xia tactfully that he had parked in the wrong place just now and needed to move to the parking lot to move a parking space.Fan Xia had no choice but to get up.

"I warn you."

Before leaving, he pointed at Chang Leyun, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Humph!"

The other party responded with nostrils.

"what happened?"

Spreading the napkin, Ning Xiaobei couldn't help being curious, and asked in the direction Fan Xia left.

"Forget it."

Chang Leyun shook her head, opened the menu, "Ex-boyfriend."

"Clam?"

Ning Xiaobei could stuff an entire ostrich egg into his mouth.

"It's all set up by parents on both sides. Don't think too much about it."

Chang Leyun hurriedly said, "I have no chance with him."

She didn't want to be misunderstood by this old classmate whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"It was entirely based on human feelings, so we had to date for a while. But soon we recognized each other, so we separated immediately and cleanly."

Ning Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and didn't comment.

"Chang Leyun, what did you say bad things about me?"

Before we had a few words here, Fan Xia hurried back and looked at the two nervously.

"Say you two have been in love."

Ning Xiaobei smiled viciously.

"Chang Leyun, didn't you agree not to mention it in the future?"

Fan Xia was angry and anxious.

"Oh, Xiao Bei is not an 'outsider', it's fine."

Chang Leyun rolled his eyes at him as he spoke, "I've already explained to him that we dislike each other. It's not me who dumped you, is that okay?"

Chang Leyun also thought that he was ashamed of his male chauvinism, so he added "intimately".

It's none of my business for outsiders to know, the key is how to let Xiaobei know?In case Xiaobei really misunderstood how you and I used to be, then I...then I...

In the late autumn frost season, Fan Xia was sweating anxiously.

Fortunately, these few are well-established people, and they will not do anything ridiculous in this high-end restaurant in a high-end location. After drinking and drinking, they began to chat about their childhood memories.

As they chatted, some "blind spots" that Ning Xiaobei hadn't noticed before gradually surfaced.

"Fan Xia, does Uncle Zhao only have that one house?"

After hearing from Chang Leyun that her family had moved to Pudong and bought two houses around the former Expo Park, Ning Xiaobei suddenly asked.

"what?"

"It's the one you live in now."

"Yes what's the matter?"

Fan Xia looked at him puzzled.

"its not right."

Ning Xiaobei bit his lip lightly, "I remember Uncle Zhao opened a clothing store on Xiangyang Road, and he made a lot of money."

"It's been such a long time... How many years has it been since Xiangyang Road was demolished. Just like the seafood market on Tongchuan Road and the flower and bird market on Jiangyin Road, it has long since disappeared."

Fan Xia smiled nonchalantly.

"It turns out that many markets in the [-]s are gone. However, the South Wharf textile market that my mother rented to work is still there, and my mother is still working. There have been a lot of foreign trade orders recently."

When mentioning her mother, Chang Leyun looked proud.

"Then what about the money he made? Could it be that all of it was invested in stocks? Didn't he buy another house and improve the environment?"

Not to mention the "dream world", but in the timeline of the "real world", Guangning's family moved twice, and finally moved into the current fairly good apartment.

Uncle Zhao was already a successful businessman in the 90s. How could he live in such a dilapidated tube building all his life and never invest in real estate during the hottest years of real estate?

"Xiao Bei, have you forgotten?"

Fan Xia and Chang Leyun looked at each other with doubts in each other's eyes.

"what?"

"You don't know why Xiangyang Road Market was closed."

"Isn't it necessary for municipal renovation? After all, it's a prime location on Huaihai Road, every inch of land is expensive... Ah, I remember."

An English word that was once very familiar, but now thought of as distant, jumped into Ning Xiaobei's head.

——WTO, World Trade Organization.

A few days ago, he just saw an article on the official account, saying that this year marks the [-]th anniversary of China's accession to the WTO.

Distant memories flooded into my mind at once. Around 2006, the Xiangyang Road Market, the center of a generation of Shanghai people, became "famous internationally" because of the increasingly rampant counterfeiting and counterfeiting of famous brands. Target.

After the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce failed to crack down on illegal vendors several times, they simply erected the entire market.

At the same time, a large number of shops selling pirated CDs were hit, and Fan Xia's father was almost involved.

However, I heard from Fan Xia before that his father had a keen eye, and he had already expanded the store and changed it into an Internet cafe around 00, and continued to "harm" young people in a different way, so he escaped smoothly.

Corresponding to "Dream World", Uncle Zhao specially went to Guangzhou to find clothing companies to cooperate with during the summer vacation, and then sent back some samples one after another... From the perspective of "modern man" Ning Xiaobei, the appearance of these clothes is nothing special Yes, a little rustic.Looking back now, aren’t they all counterfeit models of popular international brands at that time?

Uncle Zhao is really too courageous!

"Uncle Zhao, he...wouldn't be in a lawsuit, would he?"

Ning Xiaobei asked nervously.

"Yeah, I lost everything I earned before. I bought the house and mortgaged the shop. In the end, it was all for nothing..."

Fan Xia sighed.

"After that, my uncle moved to other places and did some business, but the income can only be regarded as mediocre. The housing prices in Shanghai are changing every day. If you want to buy a house again, you can only buy a house in Jinshan and Fengxian. His relatives and friends My friends and family all live in the urban area, how could I move to the suburbs, so I have been living in the old house..."

Fan Xia shook his head helplessly, then looked at him puzzled, "Why didn't Uncle Ning tell you?"

"I remember that Uncle Ning and my mother each contributed a sum of money to help Uncle Zhao tide over the difficulties."

Chang Leyun added.

Ning Xiaobei lowered his head with some remorse.

At that time, he had just finished his first job, jumped to a well-established Fortune [-] manufacturing company, and was sent by the company to Germany for training for about half a year.At that time, there was no such thing as a smartphone, and my father had to make international calls to contact him.

Long-distance calls are so expensive, and there is a time difference between Europe and Shanghai. I think my dad didn’t want to worry me, so I didn’t mention anything about what happened at that time...

Dad protected himself so well, he thought that Ning Xiaobei was the one who supported the family after he graduated, but in fact, it was Ning Jianguo who spared no effort to shield him from the wind and rain.

The three of them ate and chatted for a while.After the banquet, Ning Xiaobei saw that Chang Leyun was not driving, so he suggested to Fan Xia to take her home.

"Why? She can call a car."

Standing outside the restaurant, Fan Xia put his waist in disgust, "Chang Leyun, your phone is broken?"

"Fan Xia, please be a little gentleman. It's only natural for boys to send girls home, even ordinary friends. It's night after all."

Ning Xiaobei looked at the person who had a good chat just now, dumbfounded, and started throwing eyes at each other again.

"Shanghai's law and order is very good, and it's only less than seven o'clock now, let her go home by herself."

"Thank you, and I won't bother you. In the second half, I asked my little sister to drink at a newly opened bar nearby. Just walk over."

Chang Leyun held her handbag and raised her head proudly, turned her head and changed her face again, waved at Ning Xiaobei, turned and left.

"Look, this woman is very powerful. Let me tell you secretly, don't look at her as weak, she even went to learn karate when she graduated from high school. She got a black belt in college, and now it's no problem for one to fight ten."

When they were "in love" before, Chang Leyun often attacked him.A "slap" and a "swish" kick at a disagreement beat him until he grinned and couldn't resist.

He went home and told his uncle that he didn't believe that a gentle girl like Lele could be so powerful.Let him really have no place to redress his grievances, and suffer a lot at the hands of this woman.

As Fan Xia said, he put his arm on Ning Xiaobei's shoulder unconsciously.

"Three thousand nonsense, do you think she is Ip Man? And 'one hits ten'..."

Ning Xiaobei said dumbfoundedly.

"Xiao Bei, let's go to the movies. Otherwise, we'll go to the bar too..."

Ning Xiaobei was full of lawsuits, so he dragged him away.

Ding Zheyang's problem here has not been resolved, and then there was a major incident caused by Uncle Zhao.

According to what he knew about his father and the relationship between the two of them, once something happened to Uncle Zhao, his father would not be as simple as taking a sum of money as Chang Leyun said.

I am afraid that most of the foundation of the family will be taken out at that time...

Sitting at the bar, Ning Xiaobei took the wine glass offered by the bartender, while listening to Fan Xia's rambling nonsense, he poured the wine into his mouth mechanically, full of worries, feeling that he was burdened with a heavy burden .

"Xiaobei..."

Before he knew it, he didn't know how much he poured down. Ning Xiaobei lay on the bar counter, his head was biting, his eyes were hazy and steamy.

"Xiaobei, stop drinking, let's go home..."

Fan Xia supported his shoulders and pulled him up almost tenderly.

Heel to heel, the two stumbled towards the door.Fan Xia supported him with one hand, and held the phone in the other, guiding the driver who had arrived nearby.

"Yes, you get out of the subway and go north, we are already in front of the bar. The car is parked in the back alley..."

Just as he was about to step out of the door of the bar, two men came in and passed Fan Xia and the others.

Fan Xia hung up the phone and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"The two people in front."

He turned around, helped Ning Xiaobei to the booth beside him, and then took out his police officer's card from his pocket.

"Police. Please show me your ID card."

The author has something to say:

What to do... I'm stuck

Ah, I feel like the emotional drama between Xiaobei and Xiaoxia is about to start.Of course children can't fall in love early, of course they have to use the body of adults to fall in love.

Then I got stuck and burst into tears~~~
