Twenty years later, in March 2008, Xiaoyu and his wife came to his old cousin's house, and they came to celebrate his 60th birthday.

After lunch, they and their husbands went out for a stroll, and inadvertently came to the auspicious department store that extends in all directions. This auspicious department store was probably built in the 70s, because in the late 80s, when Xiaoyu came to work here, it was not so new.

But after decades of ups and downs, it still stands there. Maybe keeping it is a distant memory of a corner of the city, or maybe it will always have that kind of unique blessing here, the right time and the right people. Because it's easily accessible and densely populated, that's a prerequisite for it.

Especially its interior, don't look at it is only five floors, but its spaciousness, its space is tall, and the most prominent thing is the goods in it, which are from wearing, eating, and using all kinds of high, medium and low-end goods.

Over the decades, its popularity has continued unabated, which is the best testimony to the prosperity seen from Xiaoyu 20 years ago to today, 20 years later.

Xiaoyu and his wife walked into the department store leisurely, and he was also deliberately showing off to his wife how spectacular this big city is. Because the edge of the city is so lively, if you go to the center of the city, you can imagine its prosperity.

They don't mean to buy anything, but they just take a look since they come. They (they) first went up to the fifth floor, and Xiaoyu thought that it would be okay to look all the way down from the fifth floor, so as not to be dazzled by the mess, but not to see comprehensively.

As they moved from the fifth floor to the third floor, her wife said she wanted to go to the bathroom. He looked around, and then he saw that the bathroom was next to the ladder on each floor. He instructed his wife to go, and he said, "Come and come, and if I don't move here, her will go."

The interior of the department store is shaped like a stage. Each of its floors is empty like a small half of the moon, and the two corners of the moon are ladders, and the large semicircle of the stage is the counter, and the outside of the stage is made of railings. This moon dam can also be described as a high patio.

When Xiaoyu was waiting for his wife, he held on to the railing and looked down. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, it was not the most lively, and there was no one crowded at this time. His gaze wandered unintentionally, and suddenly, his gaze froze, and his heart was agitated, for he saw Zhu'er and Xiaoxian at a glance, walking in the middle of the moon dam below.

He immediately got carried away and shouted loudly: "Yin Xiaozhu, Gong Xiaoxian." At this time, he couldn't care about anything elegant or unelegant. He was afraid that these two people would suddenly disappear from his sight, he thought that he was still on the third floor, and the winding stairs were running down, and everyone had to go far, and his wife had not come out yet, and his wife had come to this city for the first time, what if he got lost. What worries him the most is that he doesn't know which way they are going, so he shouts desperately.

When he shouted the third time, the two of them felt a little, they looked around, and when he shouted the fifth sound, Zhu'er finally looked up and saw him standing upstairs. They were overjoyed, and he beckoned them up, for his wife still hadn't come out of the bathroom, and the two of them rushed up the stairs. When they climbed up to the third floor. His wife just came out of the bathroom.

The joy, excitement, and joy of reuniting after a long absence, made the three of them hug each other together. This made the wife standing next to her not know what was going on. Although Xiaoyu had told her about the friends he had made when he had worked here in the past, but after 20 years, could they still know each other? Even if they did, would they still be so affectionate when they met each other 20 years ago? This made her full of doubts.

When they (they) briefly introduced their experiences over the years, the wife, who was left cold, felt that she was standing here in a daze, like a superfluous person. Therefore, there was still a look of dissatisfaction on her puzzled face.

Xiaoyu looked at Zhu'er and said, "It's been twenty years, you're still like that, Xiaoxian hasn't changed, it's just that Xiaoxian is a little fatter than before." At that time, I was leaving, and it was not good to go to your house to say goodbye, so I wrote a note. His tears of excitement had not yet dried, "After the passage I wrote you three letters, the first two letters you replied to me, and my third letter was returned to me later." It occurred to me that you must not have worked in that factory anymore, did you? But you know my address, why didn't you write to me?" his eyes were questioning. Zhu'er said: "It's true that I'm not in that factory anymore, and the original few people in the factory are almost gone." Later, I didn't receive your letter, and slowly I had a lot of things, oh, I was not idle, I thought about you, but, I just didn't want to bother you. When she said these words, Xiaoyu knew that she was a little prevaricated and had no choice but to ask for details.

In the end, they agreed to meet once a year, and finally he said, "I have kept the third letter I gave you twenty years ago, and I will bring it to you when we meet next year." Zhu'er looked at him stupidly at this time, and her heart was tumbling about the difficulties of the past twenty years.

When they came to their senses, Xiaoyu patted his wife on the shoulder and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry we left you out in the cold." You see, that's what I told you, my former friend. He pointed to Zhu'er, "She is Yin Xiaozhu." He pointed to Xiaoxian again, "This is Gong Xiaoxian, they are all my best friends in the past." He introduced the two of them again and said, "This is my wife, Fang Xiuzhuang." After the three of them got to know each other, doubts disappeared on Fang Xiuzhuang's face.

In fact, this Fang Xiuzhuang is a smart person, but her usual style of life is: don't think about things in her heart, don't ask about other people's affairs, don't ask her husband about private things, just do her own thing. It can also be said that she is magnanimous, refreshing, and simple person.

I don't know if it's because of her personality that she got her healthy and strong body. She is 1.68 meters tall, her weight is between 71 and 73 kilograms at any time, she can do men's physical work at any time, and her food is more than Xiaoyu, who is only 1.66 meters tall. This Xiaoyu was able to please her, and he really felt that he was a blessing from his previous life, so he would praise his wife in front of people from time to time.

They (they) are all telling each other about their joys, sorrows and sorrows since parting, and they (they) are respecting each other, whether the two of them want to talk to Fang Xiuzhuang about their hometown, because this pearl Xiaoxian is from the countryside. This pearl is another optimistic about Xiaoyu's wife. She thought to herself: This woman is really good-looking, she is so tall and tall, but her fat and thin are very moderate, unlike some tall people who have highlighted their feet, so they don't look good when they highlight their feet. And her upright face, her face is so clean that there is no blemish, and it is so ruddy and full, and colorful. And her body is so good, like such a rich woman, any man is blessed. No wonder, this Xiaoyu likes her so much, he used to praise his wife or not. Oh, no wonder Xie Fei whispered to me that time, what happened the night she asked him to fix the clock, and he was really sitting still, this must be the reason why he has such a good wife. Oh, not necessarily, this person is good, that should be a matter of nature. This pearl is still tinkering with self-justification in her heart.

What Xiaoxian thought was: I really admire this Xiaoyu brother's wife, she is so much taller than me, and I am under her shoulders when I stand in a bunch. She looks like a rural person, so tall and tall, white and clean, if she dresses up a little better, she will be as simple as a rich woman in the city. Fortunately, Xie Fei didn't tell her about the bell repair, because Xie Fei knew that Xiaoxian was straightforward and fast-talking, not as calm as Zhu'er, and Zhu'er knew that when talking to people, what should be said or not should be said is measured. Otherwise, she would have looked at Xiaoyu differently.

Later, Xiaoyu also asked Xie Fei about Niu Er's red situation. The two of them told everything they knew, and when it came to Yin Hong, they really didn't know, because they were not only far away from her, but they also didn't work together, so they didn't have a lot of friendships.

In the end, they (they) made up their minds, and they discussed that they would meet at noon the next day and meet in the hotel below the Jixiang Department Store. Because now everyone has a mobile phone, a phone call is just a phone call to get together. As for Yin Hong, Xiaoyu had no choice but to find her from the afternoon until noon tomorrow.

In this way, they walked all the way to the street downstairs, said goodbye to each other, and reluctantly left. Xiaoyu looked up at the auspicious department store with an old and sturdy appearance and a magnificent interior, and muttered thoughtfully: When I was about to leave here in the evening, I met He Yalan who came to the rescue. Today, I wandered here and met an old friend who I thought I would never see again. This auspicious department store really has an indissoluble bond with me, this auspicious building is really auspicious.

Xiaoyu took his wife and returned to his old cousin's house in a hurry, and then he went to the Moon Bend Street alone.

When he approached Moon Street, he saw from afar that it had all changed, and the entire Moon Street on the first floor and the bottom of the street had become antique and blue, just like those street scenes in costume dramas. Fortunately, it was only decorated like that, but its original house remained motionless.

As soon as Xiaoyu came to Yin Hong's original home and asked, the tenants here told him where Yin Hong lived now, and immediately called Yin Hong. On the phone, Yin Hong was so excited, Yin Hong spoke with a crying voice, although it was so brief on the phone, it made Xiaoyu sensitive to her misfortune and misery. Finally he said, "So be it, if there is anything to say tomorrow, we will see you tomorrow." ”

At noon the next day, they gathered Xiaoniu, Xiaoxian, Yin Hong, Xie Fei, together with Zhu'er and Xiaoyu, a total of seven people.

They poured out their joys, sorrows, and sorrows to each other, and they ate and drank slowly from less than twelve o'clock at noon, tirelessly chatting until late at night. Xiaoyu listened to them recount the ups and downs of the past 20 years, and he shed two lines of helplessness and sad tears.

Twenty years of life experience, twenty years of ups and downs, the ups and downs of these people in these twenty years. It will be a portrayal of the changes and ups and downs of life in the past 20 years. Next, let's go one by one.
