The Pentium Era - South to North

After Father He finished laughing, he said to Mayor Niu: "That's you, Mayor Niu, too. He has a good education."

"It's not me, it's not me." Mayor Niu said, "It's Xiaofang's good education."

"Auntie." Xiaofang said angrily, "How dare I educate my uncle?"

"Aren't you calling my uncle every time he takes a step up and telling him that he can't do this and that he can't do that?"

Mayor Niu smiled at Xiaofang and then said:

"In addition to being called Cousin and Brother Belt by others, your uncle also has a famous saying, 'Xiao Fang can scold'. If he can't do something, or if he doesn't agree, he will say 'Xiao Fang can scold'. Starting from At that time, no one knew who this Xiaofang was, so they came over to ask me, but they didn’t dare to tell me directly, so they asked in a roundabout way, “Who is Xiaofang?”

"I told them that Xiaofang was his niece, the one who gave him the watch. Only then did everyone know, and even this sentence spread. Now when the secretary discusses things with him, he doesn't ask whether he agrees, but asks , 'Will Xiaofang scold me for this matter?'."

Everyone laughed, and uncle felt a little embarrassed. He said to Dad He:

"I am an uncle. If I become a corrupt official and get scolded by my niece, I will have no place to put my face."

"I agree with this." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Xiangxi had been listening to their conversation. At this time, she climbed down from her seat, walked over, got behind Mayor Niu, patted her, and shouted:

"Auntie, uncle."

Chief Niu turned around, picked up Zhang Xiangxi, and put him on his lap. Chief Niu asked, "Xixi, what's going on?"

"Auntie, are you talking about my mother?" Zhang Xiangxi asked.

My aunt was right.

"Let me tell you, my mother won't curse, she will reason with you, and she will tell you many, many truths." Zhang Xiangxi said.

Mother He across the street asked: "Are you afraid of Xixi?"

"Afraid." Zhang Xiangxi nodded desperately: "I can't convince her. She keeps talking and keeps talking. It makes my head hurt and is about to explode."

Everyone laughed again.

The uncle chuckled: "I can't say anything to her. Every time I get a call from her, my head hurts."

Zhang Chen sat next to He's father. He raised his cup and said to He's father: "Uncle, I respect you."

Dad He picked up the cup and clinked it with Zhang Chen.

He Hongmei's parents are no longer in business. They have rented out several stalls and houses in Chaotianmen and rely on the rent, which is hundreds of thousands a year, which is enough.

Every day, He's father would set up dragon gate formations and play mahjong with others. He's mother would follow a group of aunts in the community to practice swordsmanship and Tai Chi. Like Teacher Liu and the others, He's mother and the others also went around to participate in competitions.

However, they have traveled further than Teacher Liu and others, representing Chongqing, and have also been to Wuhan and Beijing to participate in competitions.

He's father asked about Zhang Chen's current situation, and Zhang Chen also told him. One night, the two of them talked a lot, but they didn't mention He Hongmei. No one here mentioned He Hongmei. Even Zhang Chen's mother called He Hongmei's mother. She is also called Mother Dongmei, not Mother Hongmei. It seems that no one here knows anyone named He Hongmei.

Sitting there, Xiangnan felt a little sad for Aunt Hongmei. She looked at Zhang Xiangbei, who seemed to know what she was thinking. He held her hand and shook his head with a wry smile.

After returning from Japan, Xiangnan told Zhang Xiangbei about his encounter with He Hongmei in Tokyo. Zhang Xiangbei was also a little sad. After all, Aunt Hongmei was like their biological aunt. They had followed Hongmei since they were young. They play together with Aunt Hongmei, and Aunt Hongmei also likes them both very much.

He Hongmei did not marry Zhang Chen in the end. They didn't know the specific reason, but they all felt very sorry. However, Zhang Xiangbei thought that if Aunt Hongmei had married his father, Aunt Xiaofang would not have become his stepmother. There would be no more Zhang Xiangxi. Zhang Xiangbei felt that it was still as good as now. He thought that it was still as good as now, and he felt as if he had betrayed Aunt Hongmei.

What a dilemma.

Tonight, the happiest person was Lao Liu. Xiang Nan told him that today is the 28th of the New Year. So many people are together and everyone is happy. Grandpa, you can drink more.

"How much more can I drink?" Lao Liu asked anxiously.

Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "You can drink as much as you want. Anyway, there are so many people here. If you get drunk, I can carry you back. The hotel here is also my uncle's hotel. You It doesn’t matter if you’re drunk.”

"Okay." Old Liu said excitedly.

It's been a long time since Lao Liu drank too much and he was sober every day. Today, Xiang Nan allowed him to start quitting and get drunk. How could he not drink to his heart's content? Besides, after so many years, Liu Ligan came back this year. In the first year of their marriage, they saw that he and Tan Shuzhen were very good. The old Liu couple did not say anything, but they were also happy in their hearts. This was considered complete.

Lao Liu drank several drinks in a row, and said with a grimace to Lao Zhang and Teacher Tan: "It's not right, it's not right."

"What's wrong?" Lao Zhang asked.

"After drinking this wine, why does my head still start to hurt? My head never hurts when I drink. Alas, it seems that I haven't drunk too much for a long time."

Lao Liu said that Teacher Tan and Lao Zhang laughed, and Liu's mother scolded from the side: "You also drink too much? If you can't drink, don't drink."

Old Liu was actually afraid that he had drunk too much. The people at the other end of the table were very happy when they heard this. Xiaofang said, "You see, this is the real education of the young ones."

The next day, we had New Year’s Eve dinner at my uncle’s hotpot restaurant. However, we didn’t eat hotpot today. We started early in the morning. Mr. Niu, Zhang Chen’s mother, Xiaofang’s mother, Liu Ligan’s mother, and Mrs. Tan, several old ladies It occupied one-third of the kitchen and began to prepare.

In the evening, in addition to He Hongmei's parents, who have to spend the New Year with the elderly at home, and her uncle who is on duty in the office, he also has to go to express condolences and visit the staff of the telecommunications company and the traffic police on duty in the early morning. Except for the condolences to the cleaning workers who couldn't come, everyone else came.

Liu Yun arrived with Teacher Liu. As soon as Teacher Liu arrived, he still pulled Liu Ligan aside, making a rustling noise. Even Zhang Chen felt strange. When the two people separated, Zhang Chen walked over and asked Liu Ligan quietly:

"Why is Teacher Liu looking for you?"

"Lao Ji Fufeng, he wants to take back his lost youth." Liu Ligan smiled slyly, "Last night, after leaving here, he went to rent a hotel room again."

Zhang Chen frowned and cursed: "You have to let him stop."

"Can I stop him?" Liu Ligan said, and Zhang Chen shook his head.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they got up early in the morning and went to Wulong Tiankeng Dijiao National Geopark. They went to the bottom of the Tiankeng and visited the Tianfuguanyi Station at the bottom of the pit. This is the "City Full of Golden Armor" " and "Transformers 4" were filmed, next to Tianfuguanyi, is Tianlong Bridge, one of the three natural bridges in Wulong.

At noon, they had lunch in Fairy Town, and when they returned to Chongqing in the evening, He Hongmei's parents invited them to Hongya Cave for dinner.

On the second day of junior high school, Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen drove to Chengdu and Dujiangyan with Mr. Liu and his wife, Teacher Tan and Mrs. Tan, as well as Liu Bang and Ding Guimin, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. Ding Guimin, Mr. and Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Tan I have never been to Chengdu or Dujiangyan. Teacher Tan did, and that was more than 30 years ago.

The head of Niu Township accompanied Zhang Chen and Xiaofang and their group. They also set off early in the morning on the second day of the lunar new year. They were going to visit their hometown. Xiaofang’s parents also wanted to stay in their hometown’s house for one night. Niu Xiang The chief said, can I still live there? Even the quilts at home have become moldy over the years.

Everyone agreed that when we get there, we will have lunch and dinner at Xiaofang's uncle's house. After dinner, we will rush back to Chongqing in the evening.

The temperature in the mountains is low and the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, but the branches are already covered with flower buds. As soon as Zhang Xiangxi arrived here, he almost went crazy.

They parked the car on the side of the road and walked in. The road was widened. Although it was not enough for cars, motorcycles and rickshaws were no longer a problem, and cement was poured on the ground.

Zhang Xiangxi walked between Xiang Nan and Zhang Xiangbei, holding one of their hands with one hand and asking them to lift her up. Zhang Xiangxi hung between the two of them, giggling, while turning back from time to time, towards Kan Xiangdong. explain:

"You didn't, you didn't."

Kan Xiangdong was envious in his heart, but he pretended to be disdainful and said, "I don't want it."

Zhang Chen walked over and said to Xiaoshu, "Come, let's come too."

Each of the two men took one of Kan Xiangdong's hands and lifted him up. Kan Xiangdong shouted: "Hurry up, walk faster."

Zhang Xiangxi turned his head and shouted: "Beibei, Nannan, let's run quickly, don't let them catch up."

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan carried Zhang Xiangxi and ran forward. Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu carried Kan Xiangdong and chased after them. Zhang Chen's mother shouted:

"Let go, let go, be careful your hand is dislocated."

"It's rare but strange. If you watch those gymnasts on TV, they spin like windmills on the horizontal bar, and you don't see any dislocation." Lao Zhang said from the side.

Now that they can see their home, Xiaofang's heart tightens. Although their house was built later and the drawings of this house were designed by Zhang Chen, it has been there for some years after all. Under the cover of the peach trees, it looks beautiful and beautiful. There are several newly built houses next to the uncle's house. I don't know whose house is already old by comparison.

From the end of the path, a group of people turned around. It was the uncle who heard the noise and knew they were back, so they came out to greet them.

Xiaofang turned around and saw that her mother's eyes were red and she was wiping tears.

Yes, ever since Zhang Chen and his sister came back that year, they were waiting for them at Huixian Tower. Then they bought a villa and moved away. Their family has never been back here to celebrate the New Year. Xiaofang has never even been back. , even when I was admitted to college and changed my household registration, I only visited the countryside.

But no matter how many years they haven’t come back, this is still their home and their roots are here. When I was a child, I would separate the branches and flowers with my sister and the little tree every year. The peach tree that separated the flowers on the branches is still growing in the yard, swaying slightly in the wind. .

Xiaofang's eyes were also red.
