Chapter 2 Memory
The newly opened McDonald's is not far from home, and it is only a 5-minute walk away. After sending my sister to McDonald's, she was stopped by her and didn't let her go, so I watched her eat together. The reason is simple: who would eat alone at McDonald's?
Neither will a single dog!
After eating, she paid her sister and went shopping on the street, and it wasn't until her classmates came to the appointment that Xu Zhi was able to leave.
Dad's shop is located in a vegetable market on the west side of Kwun Tong, not very far from home, along the way, Xu Zhi looked at the Xiangjiang in the 70s, which is not like the high-rise buildings of later generations. If it weren't for the various traditional characters around, I would have thought I was back in the nineties when I was a child.
When Xu Zhi arrived at the store, his father Xu Hongbang had already eaten lunch and was lying leisurely at the door basking in the sun.
Before coming to Xiangjiang, my father's name was Xu Aiguo, but after arriving in Xiangjiang, I found that this name would bring infinite trouble, so I changed it to Hongbang, anyway, patriotic Hongbang has the same meaning!
"Dazhi, why did you come so early?" Wang Hua saw that his son came early, a little strange, if he could rest before, he wouldn't be able to see anyone at all until noon.
"It's nothing, just come out!" Xu Zhi smiled: "Dad, smoke less!"
Xu Hongbang is an old smoker, he can smoke two packs a day, fortunately, his attitude towards Xu Zhi is relatively strict, when he was a child, Xu Zhi secretly smoked a few, and immediately hung up and played for a long time after being discovered.
"It's okay, I've been smoking for a lifetime, I can't change it!" After speaking, he took a deep breath and spit out a few technical circles.
"The sun has come out today, look at the next few days, it shouldn't rain, don't go out to play tonight, go buy tomorrow morning!"
"Good. Xu Zhi nodded, he went to the place where the goods were purchased many times, and the weather was bad these days, because he was worried that the goods would not be sold, so he didn't buy much, and Xu Hongbang let his son sleep for a few more days.
"Okay, then you watch, your mother and I went back to rest, if there is something to call home!" Xu Hongbang stood up and stretched his waist, he hadn't rested until now, and he was tired.
"Dazhi, just watch it for a while, and close the stall when it's almost over!" the old mother ordered before leaving.
Doing seafood is a very tiring business, the seafood that enters the morning, if it can't be sold at night, basically a lot of it will not be fresh, a small business, it is impossible to throw it away, and it can still be sold at a low price the next day, especially some small restaurants, but I like to buy this kind of bargain very much. But after all, there will be some losses. Small stalls and small facades, this kind of thing often happens and can't stand it.
"It's okay, I'm fine at home anyway, and it's the same to look at the store here!" Xu Zhi replied.
................
The temperature in Xiangjiang in March was suitable, although it rained for several days, the temperature was still not low, Xu Zhi put on a coat and lay leisurely on the recliner reading the newspaper.
As far as typography is concerned, the newspaper typesetting in the 70s was full of boring, except for a few large newspapers, the others only had black and white layouts, but the price was cheap, a few cents a piece, but the ink in it was really not daring to wipe the buttocks!
Xu Zhi flipped through the financial report for a while, but no matter in his previous life or in this life, he was not very familiar with the financial industry, and he couldn't understand some terms at all, only that the Hang Seng Index was rising steadily, and the people of Hong Kong welcomed the rise in housing prices.
I flipped through the entertainment section again, but there were a bunch of little stars in it, and he didn't know any of them, and he hadn't heard of them! Finally, he found a martial arts novel in the newspaper of Ming Pao: The Legend of Sword and Sword
................
"Alas, pretty boy, wake up!" Xu Zhi, who was asleep while reading a book, was woken up by a sound, wiped the sweat on his head, and realized that he had just been hypnotized by the novel.
"How did you sell this little yellow croaker?" the middle-aged woman asked when she saw Xu Zhi wake up.
Xu Zhi glanced at it and said, "1 piece and 2 pounds!"
"Can it be cheaper?1 Hurry up!"
"No, one piece at the bottom!"
"Okay, get me some!"
..............
"Pengzi, have you finished reading it!" Xu Zhi looked at Wu Peng, who was staring at the newspaper with relish, and sighed helplessly.
Wu Peng is Xu Zhi's playmate who grew up together, and their families are not together, but their parents are both doing business in the vegetable market, the shops are also close, and they are about the same age, so they get together.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Wu Peng was a little impatient, he didn't raise his head until he finished reading all the contents of the serial, and then he put down the newspaper unwillingly and said: "This novel is really good, is there any previous content!"
Xu Zhi suddenly rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You look so energetic without a head or tail?"
Flipping through the newspaper pile, Xu Zhi found a few copies, but after reading the issue number, he couldn't connect them at all, but obviously Wu Peng didn't care, so he immediately took it and read it with relish!
Seeing that he was so fascinated, Xu Zhi said: "What's the point of you looking at it like this? Go rent a few novels and read them!"
"I don't have a few dollars on me!" Wu Peng said helplessly.
Wu Peng's family sells vegetables in the vegetable market, and it is not their own shop, and the stall of the rented property also has to pay rent at home. So in terms of economy, Wu Peng is certainly not as comfortable as Xu Zhi.
"Then I'll write a copy for you!" Xu Zhi laughed.
"You?" Wu Peng suddenly raised his head, looking incredulous!
Ignoring Wu Peng's eyes, Xu Zhi immediately got up, found a notebook and ballpoint pen in the drawer under the desk, and immediately started writing.
When he first crossed over, he didn't find anything special, but when he was talking about novels with Wu Peng just now, he tried to recall the content of the novels in his previous life, but found that these novels could appear in his mind word for word, but only the novels he had read. He has watched Jin Yong's TV series countless times, but the novel is not, and the novel about him in his mind is blank.
Xu Zhi originally wanted to write Sou Shen Ji, but after writing for half an hour, he found that he had only copied 2,000 words, and after counting the Sou Shen Ji, there were more than 3 million in total, and the follow-up Wild Records were only a lot more, and he had to help the family work from tomorrow, and he was estimated to be half tired and half dead when he was empty. I don't know if I can write 10,000 words a day. At this rate, I don't know if I can finish writing it in the Year of the Monkey.
Xu Zhi tore off the first page, put it aside directly, and rewrote a new one, in his memory, it is estimated that in line with the current Xiangjiang cultural style, it is also Sou Shen Ji Kunlun and Zhu Xian.
The plot of Sou Shen Ji is very huge, Xu Zhi originally wanted to become famous with this book, but now that he wants to change, he can only choose Kunlun, although the plot of Zhu Xian is good, but the writing is still slightly inferior, and this era is the most taxing grammar, one of the core themes of Zhu Xian "Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs" , The explanation of this sentence in the book is completely different from the practical significance, although it is not much to change, but it is also troublesome, this kind of thing that is suspected of plot, the time to think is far beyond the effort of writing, but if it is written directly in the original text, this book can be sprayed to death by the literary world of this era.
"You write this very well, why do you tear it off?" After reading Wu Peng's newspaper, he saw that Xu Zhi was still writing a novel, so he came over with melon seeds.
looked addicted, but saw Xu Zhi tear it off directly.
Wu Peng said hurriedly when he saw it: "Why did you tear it up?"
Xu Zhi didn't answer, and asked, "Have you finished reading it?"
Wu Peng nodded: "After reading it, is there anything else behind? What is this great wilderness?"
Xu Zhi smiled and didn't explain.
"Don't worry, read this book!" Xu Zhi ignored him, and then copied Kunlun.
