Hedong City.
A provincial capital city where two rivers meet, it has a brilliant history of civilization, and since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been a military and commercial center in the south, and the great Red Revolution has also broken out in modern times.
From the timeline, it's only five years.
But in fact, it has been nearly 20 years since Guo Yongkun left here!
Even if he came back occasionally, he was in a hurry and short, and he never had the patience to feel its changes and pay attention to its development.
Okay, now, gone......
Once back to before liberation.
He couldn't get lost when he got out of the bus station.
Can you believe this?
Everything is so familiar, it is still the place where Sapo played when he was a child, almost every street, there are his footprints, and the streets and alleys are still his breath and image.
Everywhere I go, I always have some vague fragments popping up in my head......
Kangping East Road, by the way, the first time he ate hot dry noodles, it was here.
Fengmao Market, where he and the little monkey stole apples.
Daguang Cinema, the first movie in life......
What's it called, oh remembered, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "What is it to eat a few rotten watermelons from you, Lao Tzu doesn't give money to eat restaurants in the city", domineering, huh...... No money was given.
Yo, Old Hat Alley!
It's a place to be missed.
In the first year of junior high school, I gave away the precious first time in my life, and pressed Zhang Manman, a classmate from the next class, on the wall, and that's it......
Full of memories to kill.
However, it's all pretty dark......
I'm not a good silver!
"Young man, do you want to take the car?"
A manpower yellow bag drove next to it.
In fact, Guo Yongkun wanted to go, but looking at the uncle's chapped lips, it was not easy in this cold day, so ......
"Two cents, to the happy community, do you want to do it?"
"What? Happy Community, seven or eight miles away, how about a box of matches? No, no, boy, add more. ”
"Just two points, don't count the birds. ”
With that, he turned around and left.
The uncle's expression was cloudy, and it took a long time before he caught up.
"Four points!"
"Two points. ”
"Three points!"
"Borrowed ......"
"Eh~ I said you young man, why are you so picky?"
Guo Yongkun is youzai sitting on the back bucket, and it is actually a top model, with a folding cloak, this cold wind is whistling, which is very good.
I thought I'm picking, I'm a billionaire, picking you a penny......
What's the trouble?
I'm poor!
The uncle held his breath for a while, and he wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible, so his legs were left upside down, and there was no comfort at all.
However, Guo Yongkun doesn't care.
The scene on both sides is fast backwards, the tram with an antenna on its head, driving by close to the elbow, there is no need to worry about crashing, and the sharpest thing is what, you know?
The driver drove standing up......
There is a mushroom-shaped building in front, supported by a cement pillar, there is a pavilion on it, and there is a wooden ladder next to it, which gives the sense of déjà vu of a pavilion in the air.
This is not a watchtower, but a guard post for the policeman's uncle, who directs traffic.
There are no red lights and no green lights, and all instructions are at hand.
The uncle turned into the side path very familiarly, which made Guo Yongkun understand that it was a black car.
An alley in the bend of the curve, but because of the proximity to Jianshe Avenue, it is quite prosperous.
A noise caught his attention, and he fixed his eyes, good fellow, what about cockfighting!
A group of people formed a circle, and in the bamboo fence, the two big roosters fought so fiercely that the chicken feathers flew into the sky......
In the era of lack of entertainment life, cockfighting is a unique blockbuster, and he used to be one of the people who ate melons, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and he could watch them all day.
In front of me, I saw a rare thing-villain bookstall, just a wooden shelf, placed against the wall, and on the curb next to it, a row of fascinated bear children sat on the road.
At the beginning of this century, in the twenties and thirties, Shen Hai published "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Fengshen Bang", etc., do you say it is rare?
He doesn't know much about the specific market in the future, but he knows the highest transaction record of villain books.
is "The Red Ribbon of the Earth" created by Shen Yaoyi in eight or nine years, which should be the appearance of a few years ago, and was sold at a sky-high price of 15.4 million.
If you encounter an original......
He doesn't want either.
Why do you want that money?
He wants to make a salted fish all his life, as long as he has enough to eat and drink.
Besides, if you really want to make money, that's what he means?
Passing by a small stall, the stall owner is a sturdy young man, who sells something invisible, and a basket is buckled on the ground.
This Guo Yongkun wanted, and Harazi fell to the ground.
He smokes, especially outside cigarettes, which are inexpensive and energetic.
The scene on both sides is becoming more and more familiar, and as he gets closer to home, Guo Yongkun originally brewed and should sprinkle a few drops of cat urine, but it turned out to be coming......
I can't cry, I'm quite excited, the so-called hometown cowardice is ineffective for him.
Alas, they were all broken by Xiaoguang's heartless guy.
"Huh, that's not who...... Yongkun!"
Finally recognized.
Be...... Which one, Guo Yongkun doesn't know.
It's embarrassing.
"Auntie, where are you going to buy groceries?"
"Really!" The middle-aged woman carrying a blue and white woven basket with a large lettuce sticking out of it suddenly became gossipy.
The first reaction was not to bird him, but to glance over his head and shout: "Neighbors, the third baby of the old Guo family, Yongkun is back!"
In an instant, everyone in this area reacted, which made Guo Yongkun a little tearful, unexpectedly, so many people knew him, and he ...... None of them could be named.
O livestock!
Although the name of the happy community is good, in fact, it is a large compound composed of tube buildings.
The four-storey building is more than 30 years old.
At first, it was a large enterprise in the city, Donggang's double-staff dormitory, and later Donggang expanded, turned into an industrial park, built a new building, and those workers moved away.
As a result, it was cheaper for the employees of other small units.
Guo Yongkun's father, named Guo Sunping, was a cargo clerk at the No. 3 Food Factory in the city when he was still jumping.
Later, he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and was taken by his eldest brother Guo Yongnian.
Mother Li Xiumei, before she retired, was an employee of the city's button factory, and she was still the 38 Red Flag Bearer.
Therefore, it is reasonable that the old Guo family can get a large house of 60 square meters, and it is still the bottom.
The flower bed outside the door didn't bloom anyway, so Li Xiumei opened up a small vegetable garden, which couldn't grow large crops, but planting some shallots and leeks could also save a lot of money.
There are rare celebrations in the community, Guo Yongkun, who has been in the countryside for five years, comes back, naturally counted as one, surrounded by aunts and aunts, this touches, that hand, makes him want to cry without tears, and he can't squeeze out......
I thought, don't look at me handsome, I have a bad heart!
"I'm back?!"
I don't know which well-wisher went to ventilate and report the news, and when he heard this voice, Guo Yongkun knew that the reinforcements had arrived on the battlefield.
Sure enough, a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length hair and kind eyebrows, without saying a word, rushed over like a bulldozer and fought a bloody way for him.
Of course, this is not to say that Guo's mother is fat, in fact, her figure is quite well-proportioned, but her momentum is like a rainbow.
"It's really me!"
Li Xiumei suddenly sprinkled cat urine, "It's been five years, and I'm finally back, I'm Kun, I've grown up......"
Still chattering.
At this time, Guo Yongkun was thinking, it turns out that my mother was so beautiful when she was young.
I was used to seeing her gray hair and wrinkled face, and for a while, I was really a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, don't cry, I want to cry if you cry......"
Originally, Guo Yongkun really didn't have tears, some were just excited, and he was also red-eyed when he was messed up like this.
"Eh, okay, don't cry, don't cry, go, go home with your mother......"
There is no one else in the family, the second sister is studying in the capital, and she has already said that she will not return this year, so she will not mention it. The eldest brother works in the third food factory, and the end of the year is often the busiest time, and it is generally the 29th day of the lunar month before the holiday. As for the little sister......
"Eh, Mom, where's my little sister?"
"This kid is very skinny, he won't be home on vacation, and he went to the mall with Tongtong in the afternoon, anyway, I didn't give a penny......" Li Xiumei nagged while soaking in sugar water.
Guo Yongkun was a little speechless, everything the is good, but he is a little picky, it is really a penny that can be broken in half.
As for this Tongtong, she is Xiaomei's classmate and best friend, the two grew up together, the daughter of Uncle Hao's family upstairs.
"Mom, this is the New Year, the little sister is in high school, it's a big girl, how ...... are you?"
"What do you know, the family expenses are so big, Hui Hui is in college, she still has to go to high school, just point to my pension, your brother can't earn a few dollars back, don't save some money, the family drinks the northwest wind?"
To put it this way...... It seems to make sense.
It's just that studying is not a big expense these days, the university is completely free, and food stamps are issued, and high school costs about ten yuan per semester.
"Are you tired, just rest for a while, go to your brother's bed first, I'll make the bed later, I'll chop some meat filling, and eat dumplings at night......"
Li Xiumei said, and went to the kitchen to work, of course Guo Yongkun couldn't sleep, so he began to look at this long-lost home.
The 60-square-meter house, as a staff dormitory that does not cost money, is not easy to dislike it as small, with a lot of partitions, and the space is used to the extreme.
Three-bedroom layout, plus a kitchen and bathroom.
The so-called hall is actually a dining room, there is no sofa, no TV, only a small red lacquered square table, plus six chairs with a backrest, and a long chest of drawers next to it, on which is placed a statue of the Great Compassion Guanyin, with an incense burner in front and a pack of unopened incense.
Guo Yongkun simply stepped forward and saluted, the Bodhisattva bless it, let him be a salted fish with peace of mind, don't help but run out.
Li Xiumei, a devout Buddhist, smiled from ear to ear when she caught a glimpse of this scene.
I thought to myself, my son has really grown up.
The sixteen-year-old hairy boy has grown into a man.
That's nice!
