The Pentium Era - South to North

"Nan Nan, auntie, can I say a word to you?" He Hongmei looked at Xiang Nan and asked.

Xiang Nan nodded and said yes, you say, Aunt Hongmei.

"You and Beibei, it's good that you are like this now. You must stick to it. Once you have identified a person, Nannan, you are determined. Sometimes even if you need to change yourself in some places, just change it. A A person is like a tree. When you are growing alone in the wilderness, it does not matter how the branches and leaves grow in disorder.

"But when two people are together, it's like two trees growing together. Your roots will be connected, and the branches and leaves will be intertwined. At this time, you have to let another tree grow. Space, you have to restrain yourself, if the branches and leaves grow randomly, it won’t work, do you understand?”

Xiang Nan nodded. She felt that she understood what she said. Aunt Hongmei's description was also very beautiful. However, when Aunt Hongmei said this, did she understand it herself? Since two people are like two trees when they are together and can change themselves, why can't she smile and say "You are back" to that person?

He Hongmei picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp. Xiang Nan poured another cup for her. He Hongmei seemed not to notice. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the lantern hanging over the counter, her eyes a little sad.

When she was talking to Xiang Nan, it seemed as if she was talking about things that happened a long time ago, and it seemed as if she who said these words was not here, but somewhere far away. Her expression and tone gave Xiang Nan a sense of The feeling of being far away.

He Hongmei turned back, picked up the wine bottle, and was about to pour herself a glass of wine. Then she realized that the glass was full. She said thank you softly, and then sighed softly.

"Maybe it's easier said than done." He Hongmei smiled bitterly, "It's really difficult to do it. Anyway, Nannan, don't learn from Auntie. When Auntie was young, she always thought that she was very independent and very individual. , in current terms, it looks like a dick.

"But in the end, I imprisoned myself in an airtight room and couldn't get out. Nannan, you know, it was me who made myself into a mess. "

Xiang Nan looked at He Hongmei. She didn't know how to answer this. She just felt a little sad. She looked at He Hongmei opposite and felt that she was familiar but also a little strange. She was different from the original one who was free and easy and carefree. Compared with Aunt Hongmei, the Aunt Hongmei opposite seemed to have more worries in her heart, and she became a little depressed.

"By the way, Nannan, how is Xiaofang now?" He Hongmei raised her head and asked.

Xiang Nan said "Yes": "This time, we went to New York from Shanghai with Aunt Xiaofang. Their Fanhua Network, the company where Wenwen and Qianqian worked, was listed on Nasdaq. , they came on the market on the third day we traveled from New York to San Francisco.”

"That's really good. So, Wenwen and Qianqian are now shareholders of a listed company." He Hongmei said, "Wenwen told me that their shares were given to them by my master."

Your master? Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that He Hongmei was talking about Uncle Zhang Chen. She looked at He Hongmei and asked tentatively:

"Aunt Hongmei, do you know Aunt Xiaofang and Uncle Zhang Chen..."

He Hongmei laughed: "I know, Wenwen called me and told me. I think the two of them will be very good together, right?"

Xiang Nan nodded "hmm".

"I also know that you have gathered from east to west, north and south, right?" He Hongmei smiled and continued to ask.

Xiangnan said yes, and then she told He Hongmei an interesting story about Zhang Xiangxi. He Hongmei listened with interest, especially when she heard Zhang Xiangxi's catchphrase "Cheap, cheaper", she couldn't help laughing.

She then asked about Liu Ligan. Knowing that he had not come back yet, she blurted out a curse: "Coward!"

"So Lao Meng, is there no news about Lao Meng as well?" He Hongmei asked.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't know about Uncle Meng Ping?"

"What's the matter with Lao Meng?" He Hongmei asked.

"Uncle Meng Ping has passed away." Xiang Nan said.

He Hongmei said "Ah" and quickly asked, how did he die?

Xiang Nan told He Hongmei about Meng Ping. He Hongmei was silent. After a while, she cursed "these two die-hards". Xiang Nan knew that she was scolding Wenwen and Qianqian. I probably thought this was not good news, so I didn't tell He Hongmei.

He Hongmei stood up and said to Xiang Nan, "Nan Nan, come with me."

Xiang Nan stood up and followed He Hongmei. He Hongmei led her through a wooden corridor at the end of the tavern and opened the door. Outside the door was a small garden with white gravel on the ground. Through the dim garden lights, Looking south, there is a shrine in the garden.

He Hongmei led Xiang Nan to the front of the shrine, took off the blank wooden sign hanging on the side, and wrote on the wooden sign with a marker: "Have a good trip, Lao Meng!"

He Hongmei hung the wooden sign in the shrine, took an incense stick and handed it to Xiang Nan. Then she took out one herself and lit the incense stick. The two of them bowed and put the incense stick in the incense burner.

Two wisps of green smoke curled upward, rising to the top of the head and disappearing into the dark night.

The two people stood there in silence for a while, and then walked back to the tavern. The five or six men at that table and the two people who were thinking about life had already left, and two new tables came to the tavern. of guests.

"By the way, Nannan, the scenery for your performance today was all made by my master, right?" He Hongmei asked Xiangnan after sitting down.

Xiang Nan was right: "Uncle Zhang Chen said that our Yongcheng Wu Troupe cannot be embarrassed when we go abroad. He personally redesigned all our sets and props."

"I knew it, I could see it at a glance." He Hongmei said, "By the way, Nannan, can you send them to me?"

Xiang Nan said yes, I will send it to your email when I get back to the hotel later.

The two continued to eat and drink. Xiang Nan felt that the apricot dew wine seemed to taste better. It no longer tasted like rotten fruit, but tasted a refreshing fragrance. She also tried half a cup of He Hongmei's Daiginjo, which seemed to taste better. Not as bad as before.

He Hongmei said with a smile: "When I first came here, I was not used to eating Japanese food at all. The food they thought was very fragrant, I felt fishy. Also, everything I ate felt too bland. As a Chongqing native, I felt Eating such a light thing is like killing me. Really, Nan Nan, when I wake up and open my eyes every day, I feel lifeless when I think about what I am going to eat today.

"Including this wine, I find it very unpleasant to drink, but you get used to it after drinking too much. In the past, izakayas like this were dominated by men, but now Japanese women are beginning to use this place as a place to relieve work stress. , a place to relax and socialize.”

"If they drink too much and go back, will Japanese men smile and say, 'You're back'?" Xiang Nan asked.

"No way." He Hongmei couldn't help laughing, "The women who come here are basically like me, without a family."

"By the way, do you know what I said to that man earlier?" He Hongmei remembered and asked.

Xiang Nan shook his head.

"I told him that I am not interested in men." He Hongmei said.

Xiang Nan opened his eyes wide: "No wonder, I said they looked at me so strangely, did they think we..."

"Yes." After He Hongmei finished speaking, she laughed, and Xiang Nan also laughed.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, there were more and more guests in the tavern. Looking to the south, I saw that four girls came in and sat at a table. Like them, they also ordered food and drinks. It seemed that they were from nearby places. Place, just came here after get off work.

He Hongmei looked at her watch and said to Xiang Nan, "Let's go, Nan Nan. Don't you have to get up early to rehearse tomorrow?"

Say yes to the south.

The two paid the bill and went out, still holding hands and walking along the emptier streets. He Hongmei sent Xiang Nan to the door of the hotel where she stayed, met Xiang Nan again, and asked her:

"Aunt Hongmei, how are you going back?"

"I drove to the parking lot of the theater, and my car was parked over there." He Hongmei said.

Xiang Nan wanted to walk with her, but He Hongmei refused to say anything. She said, you should go upstairs and rest early. There is only a little way from here, and it will be quick.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Xiang Nan watched He Hongmei walking forward along the sidewalk. The street lights shortened her figure until it reached the soles of her feet, and then lengthened it bit by bit.

Xiang Nan stood there and watched. She wanted to shout "Aunt Hongmei" but felt unable to do so. Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.

…

The next day, before Xiang Nan's performance started, You Guodong and Xu Xiujuan came over again. This time, they came in two people. Neither their daughter nor their son came with them. Moreover, they were not here to watch the show. Xu Xiujuan asked Xiang Nan, after the performance here tomorrow, Captain Feng, will you still be in Tokyo?

Xiang Nan said we were still there. None of the people in our group had been to Japan. In the next three days, the reception unit here was very polite and arranged for us to travel in Japan. I think we won’t have to go too far, so we should be right here. Probably near Tokyo.

You Guodong and Xu Xiujuan looked at each other, and then Xu Xiujuan said the purpose of their visit. They came to invite Xiang Nan and Ding Yousong to have dinner at their home the day after tomorrow, that is, Sunday.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think that you are like our own relatives. When I think of Yongcheng in the future, I will think of you there. In this way, we won't be left in ruins." You Guodong said, Xu Xiujuan was beside him Go up, put your palms together and pray towards the south.

Xiang Nan said, "I'm afraid it will be too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, no trouble. If the two children at home knew that you would go, they would be crazy with joy." Xu Xiujuan said.

If Xiang Nan says yes, then we should respect him instead of obeying him.
