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

In June, the summer is hot and the sun is in the sky.

Following the sound, a "high rise" burst in the air, taking the lead.Ning Jianguo picked up a stick of incense and lit the firecrackers that spread all the way from the road to the door of his grocery store.For a while, there was a continuous "crackling" sound, and two lions, one red and one yellow, wagged their heads and swayed among the crowd watching the excitement, making various tossing and moving movements.

"Hey, is the newly moved Ning's family quite prosperous? It's opening a grocery store, it's like opening a big restaurant."

"You don't care about her, her son is capable, and even invited a band to come."

"Is it that big?"

Neighbors who watched the excitement surrounded by three floors outside, watched as Mrs. Ning took off the red cloth covering the signboard of "Qingxia Commissary".

A band wearing the clothes of the foreign military band came from the alley, and the leader who waved the chess pieces was none other than Ning Jianguo's apprentice Xiaosun.

In order to open the new store of Grandma Shizu, Xiaosun specially asked for leave and came here from Huzhou.

Those who followed Xiao Sun, those who played the trumpet, played the drums, and played the accordion, were all familiar faces.Back then, they were young men who helped Ning Jianguo move furniture from Jiandeli to Workers' New Village.

On the way here, these disciples and grandchildren of Ning Jianguo were still feeling emotional. At that time, Xiaobei was only a primary school student, who looked like a little rabbit.Now I'm a sophomore in high school.When I take the university entrance exam next year, I will be a college student. Time flies like water.

It turned out that after the shoe factory closed down, everyone in the mold workshop had to fend for themselves.Except for a few people who are capable and well-connected at home, most people live in a tight life.After Zhao Jingwen heard about it, he thought about asking them to organize an amateur band, specially playing music for people to celebrate when people opened their doors and relocated, and during the holiday promotion. Subsidize the household.

Now the private sector is booming, and there are countless companies and stores opening in Shanghai every day, and the band's business is very good.If you blow it well, the boss will give you more red envelopes than your wages when you are happy.

"Next, Ms. Jian Qingxia, the owner of 'Qingxia Grocery Store', please cut the ribbon!"

Zhao Jingwen held the microphone and waved to Mrs. Ning who was standing at the door of the shop.

Today, Mrs. Ning is wearing a vintage cheongsam custom-made at the "Guoyun cheongsam shop".This cheongsam is a one-to-one reproduction of the uniforms of the summer female salespersons in Shimai Department Store, the most famous department store on the main road in Shanghai.

At such an old age, the old lady is still in good shape.She has silver hair without any variegation, wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam, a purple silk scarf on her shoulders, and a string of white pearl necklaces, the grains are round and full.The old lady raised her chest and held her belly in place, holding a British gentleman stick on her left hand, with a just right smile on her lips.

Two girls, Xiaomei and Xiaosu, stood beside her in the same dark blue cheongsam with silver trim as the old lady.Both held this golden plate in their hands, with a big flower ball in one and a pair of golden scissors in the other.

Amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami, Mrs. Ning lightly lifted the scissors and cut the red ribbons on both sides of the flower ball...

"OK! 3, 2, 1, OK!"

Ning Xiaobei raised the camera in his hand to freeze the scene.

Fan Xia also carried a camera in a serious manner and stood behind him to take pictures.

The two of them are today's little photographers and videographers, and they circle around the old lady to take pictures early in the morning.

Although it was a weekend, both of them were wearing the school uniforms of the attached high school, in order to give the old lady a face.Sure enough, all the relatives, friends and neighbors were impressed by the school badge of the attached high school embroidered on the left chest of the clothes.

The new neighbors around thought that these two were the sons of Ning Jianguo without knowing it, and praised the old lady for her good fortune. Both grandchildren are so good at studying, and they will both make a lot of money in the future.The old lady covered her mouth and smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Not only the new neighbors came to watch, but also many old neighbors from Jiandli, as well as Aunt Wang's family, and Mrs. Ning must say a few words to set the scene.

Granny Ning took the microphone from Zhao Jingwen with a smile, and as soon as she spoke, the Nunuo's Suzhou Mandarin amazed the audience and made everyone applaud.

"I, Jian Qingxia, have stood at the counter all my life, from Shimai Department Store in Luojia in the old society to Zhonghua Department Store in the new society. Now I finally have my own store. I want to thank the society and the country. There is no Shanghai municipal government| If the government demolishes and allocates new houses, there is no such opportunity..."

"Boss, grandma speaks well."

Fan Xia clapped his hands and said in admiration.

An old lady in her 80s, who is not blind or deaf, will not talk about it.Few of the older people in Shanghai can speak Mandarin so fluently, and generally they speak "Plastic Mandarin".Pronounce "soap" as "skin soap" and "quilt" as "wall headache", full of jokes.

Mrs. Ning not only speaks Mandarin well, but also speaks in such an orderly, courteous manner, as if she has a manuscript, which is really admirable.

"Of course, who is a good woman?"

Ning Xiaobei said proudly while pressing the shutter button continuously.

Great, really great.

In the "real world", Mrs. Ning died of illness at the end of 1999, and now it is 2002. The old lady is not only alive, but also very energetic.

Ning Xiaobei even fantasized about whether the old lady can live to be a hundred years old in one breath, and live to 2021!

"Xiaomei, the big cake I ordered has arrived, please go to the intersection to meet it. Let Xiaobei help you get it together."

"Brother Jianguo, Xiaobei and Xiaoxia are going to take photos and videos for the godmother. I can go alone. How heavy can the cake be?"

After Xiaomei finished speaking, she walked towards the intersection with a smile.

She was wearing a long cheongsam that fluttered in the wind, and she looked so pretty when it fluttered in the wind, causing a group of young men and old men in the community to follow her all the way as if their eyes were stuck.

"With this store, I can be regarded as realizing my ideal when I was young. Now, I only pursue one..."

As Mrs. Ning spoke, she glanced at Ning Jianguo, and just wanted to say: The only thing is that her son hasn't asked her for a house and her daughter-in-law has come back, and she hasn't had daughter-in-law tea yet.

Here I glimpsed the old neighbors again, the daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law of the Song family choked back abruptly.

Just a month ago, Mrs. Song, who had been her neighbor for a lifetime, disappeared.After working as a "nail house" for nearly a year and winning a house for almost every son, daughter, and even grandchildren, Mr. Song passed away after exhausting his last breath.

Ning Xiaobei also went there on the day of the funeral, and was shocked to see the thin old man lying quietly in the coffin, who seemed to have shrunk to only two-thirds of his original size.

As far as he could remember, Grandpa Song in Jiandli had always been a chubby old man who smiled like a Maitreya.Wear English suspenders, white shirts, and bow ties in summer.In winter, he wears a brown parka, combs his hair into threes and sevens, and looks like the hero Gregory in "Roman Holiday". He is a dignified and decent "Old Keller".

As the young owner of an old-fashioned leather goods store on Nanjing Road, although he suffered a few years in that turbulent era, he still enjoyed a happy life in general.Who knew that when he was old, he would risk his life for the house of his children.

On the day of the funeral, not all of the old man's sons and daughters were even present.It is said that they have been arguing for a long time about the distribution of the lot of the new house and how to distribute the compensation.There are a few children who feel that the old man and the old woman are unfairly distributed. From then on, they never showed up until the old man died.

When Ning Xiaobei helped Mrs. Ning out of the crematorium, several children present fought again for grabbing the old man's ashes and portrait.Because the commotion was too unbearable, the people at the crematorium directly called 110.The old man's bones are still cold, and he doesn't know how sad it is to watch him in the sky.

"I'm thinking now..."

Granny Ning changed the subject, pointed at Ning Xiaobei who was standing directly opposite her and said with a smile, "I want to live two more years. Watching my grandson go to college, graduate from college, and then go to work... the most important thing Yes, the family must be neat and healthy together."

"well said!"

Ning Jianguo was so moved that his hands turned red.

"I wish my mother a long life."

"No, at least 120 years old!"

Fan Xia screamed.

"Nonsense, 120 years old, isn't that an old goblin?"

Old Madam Ning smiled with her chin on her cheek, full of charm, and everyone laughed.

"Jianguo, are you happy?"

Zhao Jingwen clapped his hands, lowered his head and said in Ning Jianguo's ear.

"Happy, I'm so happy, I've never been so happy in my life."

Ning Jianguo kept nodding his head, for his mother's sake as well as himself.

Ning Jianguo himself found it inconceivable that the secret that had terrified him for so many years was solved so easily.

After all, these two children are too kind.

They are still so young that they don't necessarily know what this relationship means.It's just the love of the two children for the two of them that made them transcend worldly prejudices and made them choose to stand with their families.

Ning Jianguo felt that he was the same as Mrs. Ning, and now he was satisfied with everything in his life, only seeking safety and health.

"Listen to what the old lady said, is Nongmu's mother planning to let Nong go?"

Zhao Jingwen quietly asked, "Then we..."

"You'd better not get too far. If you dare to frighten my mother, I will break your legs."

Ning Jianguo said in a low voice, and gave him a sideways look.

Zhao Jingwen sneered and touched the bridge of his nose.

There is no such thing as perfect everywhere in this world, and now it is enough to spend the full moon and leave some regrets.

"Dad, Uncle Zhao! Take a picture of the two of you together."

At this moment, Ning Xiaobei walked in front of both of them, raised his camera and smiled.

"Okay, okay, the last time I took a picture with your dad alone, I don't know when it was."

Zhao Jingwen couldn't help but stopped Ning Jianguo's shoulder and smiled at the camera.

The two of them are wearing suits made to order in Hong Kong today. One set is champagne gold with small black lapels, and the other is black double-breasted buttons with inlaid lapels. Because the styles are a bit exaggerated, they can't find much opportunity to wear them.That is to say, on such a joyous day as today, I took it out to show off.

Ning Xiaobei lowered his head and watched from the camera. One of the two middle-aged men was very handsome and the other was gentle and refined. Even if he didn't look at each other, he could still feel the deep bond and friendship between them.

After pressing the shutter, Ning Xiaobei gestured OK to them.

If one day, I can find such an outstanding lover like my father, and hold hands with each other for a lifetime, I don't know how lucky I will be...

"Boss, come eat cake!"

Xiaomei just took back the [-]-inch coffee chestnut cake that Ning Jianguo ordered from Kesling, with the sweetness of cream, the fragrance of chestnuts and the slight bitterness of chocolate and cocoa.Everyone rushed forward, all wanting to be sticky and happy, Fan Xia quickly cut two pieces and held them in his hand, raising his arms high as if offering treasures.

Across the crowd and the falling colorful fireworks confetti, Fan Xia squinted his eyes and smiled, with a piece of coffee-colored cream on his mouth, like a big cat that just ate its mouth.

Ning Xiaobei raised the camera and pressed the shutter again.

After seeing off the guests, leaving Xiaomei alone to look after the store, Ning Xiaobei and the others helped the old lady who was already a little drunk back to the room behind the store to rest.

Xiao Su made a pot of tea for everyone, and everyone sat around and talked.

"I heard that Ding Kai and his wife are going to withdraw their shares from the cheongsam shop?"

The moment Wang Yihong opened her mouth was heavy news.

"Yes, it is said that they have decided to stay in Japan. But they have been blacklisted for a while, although they have been blacklisted for five years now. But it is not that simple to immigrate. Maybe First strive for the qualifications for permanent residence in Japan, and then discuss naturalization in the next step.”

Zhao Jingwen said.

Ning Xiaobei and Fan Xia glanced at each other, their faces darkening.

In the past two days, Ding Zheyang took several days off and didn't go to school. They didn't know that the matter had developed to this point.

"Why do you have to be Japanese? They also have companies in China and can make money."

Fan Xia couldn't help asking.

"In this day and age, anyone who can go abroad doesn't want to go abroad. Among other things, the eldest sister who used to set up a stall with me on Xiangyang Road is the eldest sister of the 'Shanghai Beach Fashion Madonna' or 'Goddess', both 50 I'm quite old, but at the beginning of the year I went to Australia to "jump the queue". Many of my guests turned out to be university professors and doctors, and they were all respectable people. I would rather wash dishes in Chinatown in the United States than Willing to stay and teach in China.”

Zhao Jingwen sighed.

"After all, although we have developed now, we are still incomparable with foreign countries."

Ning Xiaobei also understands that at the end of the 90s and the beginning of 2000, there was a surge of enthusiasm for going abroad across the country, no matter if they were in public office, self-employed, actors, or ordinary people, even a little nanny who did housework for others dreamed of going abroad. Being able to step out of the country and change your destiny.

It's not surprising that the Ding family made such a choice, after all, they also made the same choice in the "real world"...but his choice affected his father.

"Uncle, is there any way to prevent them from going abroad?"

He couldn't help asking.

"A way? They're even going to sell the house. What can they do?"

Zhao Jingwen shook his head, "If Yang Yang's grandma is still alive, then he might not leave for the sake of his mother. But his grandma left last year, and his father is the only child, so he has nothing to worry about now. gone."

Let's not talk about Yangyang's grandfather.

Since knowing that his little sister has made a fortune, Ding Zheyang's uncles and aunts can't wait to come to play every day.Not to mention the travel agency, the cheongsam shops have been harassed by them. They took several cheongsams without paying, saying that they were hanging on the account of my little sister, and their face was thicker than the wall.

What's even more chilling is that Ding Zheyang's grandparents "in the cage" are finally looking forward to the demolition. The uncles and aunts don't even plan to leave a penny to their sister, let alone the house.They also said that their apartment in Huangpu District was very big, and their parents lived with them, which was much better than living in a demolition house in the suburbs. Filial piety.I completely forgot how much money the couple sent to them each year to support their family. In the first two years, it was enough to buy a second-hand house in Shanghai with a good location.

Encountering such a relative, immigrating to Japan is still too close, and I can't wait to go to the United States.

"So there's nothing you can do?"

At this time, Ning Xiaobei really wished that he had a golden finger, so that he could turn the world around with just a wave of his hand.

No matter how others time travel, he also time travels.He just has a system superpower bonus, he has nothing to do and he has to explore everywhere by himself, so why is the salary so bad?

"It's not impossible."

Mrs. Ning changed her cheongsam and came out in her daily Gebu cardigan, her cheeks were red and she still smelled of alcohol.

"What can a good woman do?"

Ning Xiaobei hurriedly got up and helped the old lady to sit down.

It's time to listen to the wisdom of the elderly!

"Parents in this world, there is no one who can be more stubborn than their children."

As the old lady spoke, she glanced at Ning Jianguo.

Ning Jianguo laughed and touched the back of his head.

"As long as Yangyang refuses to leave, his parents will definitely compromise."
