"Love Song 1990" is played on a loop on an old-fashioned turntable, a square wooden table, spotlessly clean, with a few scratched paint scars on the top glowing in the sun, five wooden deng, one in the middle of the table, and four on all sides of the table. Next to it was a single bed with light blue sheets, a light blue pillow and an equally light blue quilt. On the opposite side of the bed is a recliner and work table, Meng Zihao is bare upper body, with his back to a short-haired woman, this woman is wearing a plain shirt and a pair of blue jeans, with a pair of black-framed glasses on small eyes with single eyelids, and her back looks like a man, her name is Lu Qingxia but people call her Shrimp Boy, others say that she is because she looks like a man. She is a tattoo artist, in that era, there were no good people to get tattoos, and the people who came were all members of the Herring Fish Gang, so although she was not a member of the gang, she became the queen tattoo artist of the Blue Fish Gang, and she was very familiar with the herring Fish Gang.

This is an old street, the old street is lined with low adobe houses, in winter because of the cold, every household will nail thick plastic sheets or felt to the windows, and the walls of the house are covered with layers of newspapers or calendar paper printed with stars, which may be the original prototype of "wallpaper" in modern society. This is a slum in Jiangbei District, and it is also the place where Meng Zihao was born. Here he has good friends for life: Shrimp Boy, Chicken Feather, Iron Mountain, and the little sea who loves to wear white T-shirts and dye yellow hair. The five of them were born in the same year, and they ran on this dilapidated street with their bare buttocks since they were children, and the shrimp boy was Meng Zihao's neighbor, although he was a girl, but since he was a child, he was not interested in jumping rubber bands, Jia Galaha, and jumping frames, so he liked to fight behind Meng Zihao, run away, dig birds' nests, wrestle, and swim. Meng Zihao disliked her as a girl and mixed into the boys' pile, looking awkward and cumbersome, and repelled her, but she didn't expect her to cut her long hair with scissors, and let people call her a shrimp boy, and there was no Lu Qingxia in this world from now on. Meng Zihao asked her so many names, but why she was called shrimp boy, she jokingly said: You like to eat shrimp. Since then, Meng Zihao and her, as well as Tieshan, Xiaohai, and Ji Mao, have worshiped Guan Gong together and formed brothers, not seeking to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to be a good brother who died on the same day and month in the same year.

"Wow! such a deep and long scar!" said the shrimp boy deliberately exaggeratedly, "this is stumping me, what are you going to tattoo here? earthworms, right? Or a shrimp is not bad!"

Meng Zihao took a puff of cigarette and said seriously, "A green dragon"

The shrimp boy pouted after hearing this, but there was a trace of pride in his heart, and he was unconsciously busy with the work in his hands, and he smiled on his face.

"I heard that the Blue Fish Gang has a sister-in-law?"

Meng Zihao smiled and replied.

"Ji Mao said that this scar was left by her, does it hurt?"

"Hey, you've had a lot to talk about today. ”

Shrimp pouted again and said no more.

Two people were at the table, one was smoking, and the other was busy cutting threads and fogging.

Suddenly, Meng Zihao trembled, blood burst out of the wound, and the shrimp boy felt distressed and blamed himself for a while.

Meng Zihao said: It's okay, you continue.

Shrimp Boy reproached and said, "Why can't you wait for the wound to fully heal before getting a tattoo?!"

Meng Zihao said firmly: "I want to engrave her in my heart"

Shrimp Boy was silent, tears seemed to well-up in her eyes, she quickly wiped them off with her clothes, and continued to operate more carefully.

After a long time, the cigarette butts on the ground poured horizontally and vertically, and the shrimp boy finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: Okay! Pick up a large mirror and give it to Meng Zihao, in the mirror: a majestic green dragon slowly rises along his strong back, the scar is the dragon's back, and the green dragon is more reckless and realistic. Meng Zihao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Shrimp boy, it's okay!"

Shrimp Boy smiled and said, "If you are satisfied, I hope that the guest officer will reward a few more dollars!"

Meng Zihao smiled and took out a stack of cyan hundred-yuan bills and put them on the recliner, and instructed: "It's July, burn paper in a few days, you help me burn more for my grandmother, so that her old man will not be short of money to spend there." ”

Shrimp Boy said meaningfully: "Grandma loves you the most, she knows your suffering, and she won't blame you! I hope that one day you can burn your own paper for grandma."

Meng Zihao stopped putting on his clothes and looked out the window, and his thoughts drifted there with the music. He originally thought that he had a very happy home, loved his grandmother, beautiful mother, and majestic father. But one day it was said that his father had been hacked to death. Since then, life has become more and more difficult, my mother went to wash other people's clothes, my grandmother went to pick up the rags, but the family still couldn't afford to buy food, he was hungry and panicked every day, but he insisted on not talking, and when his stomach screamed, he drank water. Grandma watched him cry silently, and once he secretly found that grandma was eating dirt. Then a man came, Semimi's eyes were staring at his mother, he didn't like him, but his mother still enthusiastically poured water for him to talk to him, and then her mother left him and his grandmother a lot of money, took a few of her clothes, including the most beautiful red dress, and went away with the man, so that he would never go to her. Since then, he and his grandmother have depended on each other, fortunately, there are these four good brothers, and they are fighting with him, he wants to let his grandmother live a good life as soon as possible, and when he was nineteen years old, he was taken by Uncle Nine and gave him a task, that day he took his brothers and went back, and when he came back with half a life, his grandmother was gone. Shrimp Boy is the person who accompanies his grandmother to the end, so from then on, every year Meng Zihao has asked Shrimp Boy to burn it for him, because he can't face the regret that he can't repay, and this pain tortures Shrimp Boy, she looks at him pain, and her heart hurts even more. So the shrimp boy pretended to be relaxed and said: With so much money, I will burn a villa for my grandmother to live in this year, so that her old man will be luxurious and luxurious!

One sentence amused Meng Zihao, and he instructed, "You can arrange it, grandma's back is not good, and then burn all the lark stickers brought by Yunnan" After speaking, he got up and left.

The shrimp boy hurriedly said: "The shrimp is cooked, let's go after eating!"

Meng Zihao replied: "I made an appointment with your sister-in-law, you and the chicken feathers will eat them" After speaking, he drew a perfect arc for the cigarette butt and left in style. Shrimp Boy watched his handsome figure finally disappear into the sun, and he kept smiling on his face.
