Zhou Ming's house is in a courtyard near Fuchengmen, which is an ordinary courtyard house with one entrance and three bays. It was supposed to be a house assigned to him by the Ministry of Culture, but during the campaign he was knocked down and put in prison. By the time he returned, there were five families living here, and it had become a veritable compound.

Zhou Ming lives in the original living room, the narrow single bed is next to the west wall of the living room, and a square table for eating is placed in the middle of the room. Zhou Ming is a thin Modu man, with a broad head, a high nose, and most of his hair is white.

After Xu Wangqiu and the others sat down, Zhou Ming looked at Su Bai and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, Zhou Ming spoke: "When I was a child, your brothers and sisters were like your father, but I didn't expect to grow up, but like your mother." How is your mother?"

The light in Su Bai's big eyes was like an oil lamp, and it was blown out: "My mother had cancer and died in 72." But in her mother's last days, her father was always by her side. In the days when my mother was gone, I looked at the clock on the wall from time to time, as if calculating how much time I had left to be with my father, and my father kept holding my mother's hand and guarding her side, not daring to close his eyes. Mom walked peacefully, there should be no regrets. ”

Zhou Ming sighed deeply and said: "Your mother is very good, she was good with your father at the beginning, and I introduced her." I didn't expect to leave like this, what a good person doesn't live long!" and asked Su Bai again: "Your father is okay!"

Su Bai nodded: "My dad is very good, he has been busy making movies recently, which is "Mom Loves Me Again" written by Wangqiu. He said that he wanted to make one or two good movies while he still had the strength. ”

"That's good. Your father looks like a gentleman, but he is very tough in his bones. Among my old friends, he is the one I am most worried about. Your dad and I are no ordinary friends. Speaking of this, Zhou Ming's tears fell, "It was your father who saved me at the beginning, without him, I wouldn't be alive today." ”

Zhou Ming saw that Su Bai and Xu Wangqiu's eyes flashed with surprise, so he described what happened: "At the Anti-Japanese War, we were all in the anti-enemy drama team, in one team. When the drama team arrived in Xichuan Wanxian, I contracted tuberculosis. ”

Zhou Ming took a breath lightly, and his eyes were watery: "Penicillin is needed for the treatment of tuberculosis, and this kind of penicillin was scarce in China at that time, and it was impossible to find it." There was a hill on the outskirts of Wanxian County, with a church on it and a small hospital next to it, and I was waiting to die there. It snowed heavily that winter, and for a whole month, your father boiled a pot of porridge every day, climbed hundreds of steps up the mountain, and went to the hospital to feed me. ”

Xu Wangqiu was in front of him with a vast white snow, and thin figures were in a blank patch, and it was difficult to trek along a black line.

Zhou Ming's voice was light and fluttering, but the sentimentality in it was like a scale, pressing on the hearts of Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai, making their hearts heavy: "At that time, your father was my hope of life, and if it weren't for him, I would have died in the hospital." Because of his care, I waited for penicillin in the hospital and survived. ”

Su Bai's big eyes flashed with consternation: "There is such a story? I haven't heard my father tell it." ”

Zhou Ming chuckled: "Your father is such a person, he remembers others for his kindness all his life, but he never mentions his help to others." From this day forward, I am your home, and you will come often. ”

After lunch, coming out of Zhou Ming's house, Su Bai took Xu Wangqiu to go boating in Beihai Park.

Beihai Park belongs to the royal garden in ancient times, is the place where the emperor and his concubines played, after the continuous development of the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it has today's scale, and it is the culmination of ancient Chinese garden art.

In 1925, Beihai Park was opened to the public as a park, and the common people finally had the opportunity to see what the emperor's garden looked like. In February 1971, Beihai Park was mysteriously closed for some reason, and it was not until March 1 this year that it was reopened to the public.

It is said that there were so many people queuing up that day that they were like a swarm of rats moving en masse when the catastrophe came, and the black pressure was so large that the conductor could not see the face of the ticket buyer, but saw the dense hand. At the end of the day, almost all the glass at the ticket gates was squeezed.

Although it is not so crowded now, there are still a lot of tourists, and if you can't walk a few steps, you will encounter a crowd of people who stop on the side of the road to rest, and even bump into two groups of people "ballast qin". Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai thought that "Ballast Qin" was very interesting, and stopped to listen. The level of playing and singing of the two gangs is okay, although it is not as good as that of professionals, but it should be considered good among amateurs.

After listening to it for a few minutes, Su Bai said to Xu Wangqiu, let's find your dormitory classmates, you make an appointment with others, if you don't go, you will seem untrustworthy. Xu Wangqiu felt that what he said and didn't believe was an excuse, Su Bai wanted to see what Fang Shu looked like, whether he was really as good-looking as everyone said, vanity, vanity! But Su Bai had spoken, Xu Wangqiu definitely couldn't refuse, otherwise it would look like he had done something wrong.

The two walked around the park for a while, but they didn't see any trace of Liu Lin and them, so they went to buy tickets for boating. Of course, it was Xu Wangqiu's task to buy tickets, while Su Bai sat on a bench and watched the scenery leisurely with a cream popsicle.

Since it was a Sunday, there was a lot of people in line, and I waited for nearly 20 minutes before it was my turn. Xu Wangqiu did not choose a pedal boat or an electric boat, but chose a hand-rowed boat with two wooden pulp, and what they wanted was the feeling of "let's swing the oars". It's just that the song is clearly "Let's swing the oars", but Su Bai didn't have the consciousness to shake the oars, and watched Xu Wangqiu row with a smile.

The boat slowly moves forward on the lake, in the turquoise rippling lake, allowing the breeze to come, cool and silky, as if blowing into the heart of the heart, extremely comfortable. This situation reminded Su Bai of the movie "Flowers of the Motherland" he watched when he was a child, so he sang like in the movie: "Let's swing the oars, and the boat pushes away the waves." The sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls. The boat was gently floating in the water, and a cool wind was blowing in the face......"

Su Bai's singing level is average, but his voice is very good, moist and sweet, and his singing makes people's hearts itch.

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself, how can you swing the oars, obviously I am rocking the oars, you should sing the little sister and I will sit on the bow of the boat, and sneered: "I said classmate Su Bai, you are also a college student, why do you sing the song of a primary school student?"

Su Bai glared at Xu Wangqiu, thinking that you are a primary school student. She turned her head to look at the lake outside the boat, and splashed a large scoop of ground water with both hands on Xu Wangqiu, dousing him all over his face. When she saw Zhang Ran's face full of water droplets, she couldn't help but laugh and tremble.

Xu Wangqiu saw that Su Bai was bad, poured water on himself, picked up the boat pulp and flicked it in the water, and a net of water was lifted up, falling head-on at Su Bai. The handful of water turned into shiny droplets in the air, rolling down Su Bai's hair and clothes, and drenching the "Really Good" shirt on her chest.

It is true that Liang is especially popular in this era, the color is bright, easy to wash, and does not wrinkle, but there is a problem, that is, when it encounters water, it not only clings to the body, but also is extremely transparent, as if not wearing clothes. On rainy days, it is common to see women walking without umbrellas with their breasts crossed, just to prevent them from walking naked.

Su Bai's "Really Good" shirt was wet by the lake and clinged to his chest, revealing his white underwear, outlining the round and full shape underneath. Su Bai looked down and found that he was gone, his face was crimson, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, he glared at Xu Wangqiu, and scolded in a low voice: "Dengzi." ”

Xu Wangqiu spread his hands and said innocently: "I didn't mean it!"

Su Bai said angrily: "You did it on purpose. ”

Xu Wangqiu knows that girls are often unreasonable when they are angry, and the more you defend her, the more angry she becomes, and he admits his mistake very simply: "It's my fault, it's really my fault." But you're a senior sister, you have a lot of adults, don't be angry!"

Su Bai tilted his head and thought about it, and said angrily: "When you accompany me to Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore, I will forgive you." ”

In August this year, Liu Xinwu published a novel called "The Position of Love", which was actually not very well written, but because it was the first novel to describe love after the movement, it caused a sensation in China. In the novel, the hero and heroine met unexpectedly when they were queuing up to buy "Mao Xuan" at Wangfujing Bookstore, and then met and fell in love.

Now hearing that Su Bai wanted to go to Wangfujing Bookstore, Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "You can't have read Liu Xinwu's "The Location of Love" and want to have a romantic encounter in Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore, right?"

"You think I'm like you, a disciple, thinking about romantic encounters all day long. Su Bai glared at Xu Wangqiu, and said with an aggrieved face, "Xinhua Bookstore will have new books on Sunday, and our dormitory classmates went to line up to buy books early in the morning." It's all your fault that I came over to wash your clothes and couldn't buy books, so you have to accompany me to Xinhua Bookstore. ”

Since the beginning of this year, the ban on masterpieces of world literature has been lifted. As soon as Xinhua Bookstore opens every day, readers rush in. Because of the gradual opening of the ban, there are new books in Xinhua Bookstore every day, and the supply exceeds demand every day. Since there are no books to read for a long time, many people regard reading as very sacred, and will deliberately wrap books, and even wash their hands before reading.

Xu Wangqiu heard that Su Bai couldn't go to buy books because he couldn't go to buy books, and felt that he should really accompany her to Xinhua Bookstore: "I didn't say I wouldn't go, your old man has made a request, can I not go?"

Su Bai finally had a smile on his face: "It's pretty much the same." But her face immediately turned up again: "You sing a song to my senior sister, if you sing well, I will forgive you!"

Xu Wangqiu definitely couldn't sing "Senior sister, you sit on the bow of the boat" or something, otherwise there was a danger of being pushed into the lake, so he shook his head and sang: "Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze, where, where have I seen you, your smile is so familiar, I can't remember it for a while, ah in a dream, I have seen you in a dream, sweet, how sweet a smile is......"

Before a song was finished, the smile returned to Su Bai's face, delicate as a flower, and incredibly beautiful. Xu Wangqiu looked at Su Bai's beautiful face with a smile like a flower, and felt that the blue sky and green water were like jade. If he had been Faust who had made a deal with the devil, he would have shouted at this moment: "You are so beautiful, please stop!"

An hour later, the boat slowly approached, and Xu Wangqiu carefully led Su Bai down from the boat. After rowing the boat, it was time to go to Xinhua Bookstore, and the two laughed and walked towards the gate of the park.

On the chairs on the side of the road sat a few young people who were scolding, smoking cigarettes in their mouths and swearing. Sitting in the middle was a fierce-looking pockmarked face, and when he saw Su Bai with a smile like a flower, his eyes suddenly lit up.
