Chapter 31 People should not always live for the past

I am back!

When the train entered Y Province, Xu Jianguo, who was holding the urn in his arms, said to himself silently in his heart.

It's been ten years.

For ten years, he has always wanted to come back to see, but he has always been unable to make it because of Chen's mother.

Now, he finally came, but he didn't know how to face his old squad leader.

The squad leader kept the hope of living to himself, but he couldn't even take care of his mother.

"Xiuying, there's a place here. A young man in his early twenties pulled a Peugeot girl and sat opposite Xu Jianguo. Perhaps because of the middle of the year, there are not many tourists who go out to work and return to their hometowns, so this train is not so crowded after passing through Lincheng, and after entering Y Province, you can even find a few empty seats if you are lucky.

Probably because he was young and energetic, or because he was a little excited to go out for the first time, and Xu Jianguo's appearance was not a bad person, the two quickly talked to Xu Jianguo familiarly. Of course, it was basically the two of them who said, and Xu Jianguo listened. It's not easy to count on him to open his mouth.

After the two introduced themselves, Xu Jianguo learned that they were students who graduated from the first normal school and went to teach in Y Province. The boy is from Qi'an, and the girl is from Star City, and she is an authentic Hunan girl.

Because of the relationship between his adoptive parents, Xu Jianguo has a good impression of intellectuals, especially teaching itself is an admirable thing. Therefore, even if Xu Jianguo rarely spoke along the way, he would not face each other coldly, and even when the attendant pushed the dining cart past, he generously invited someone to eat a boxed lunch.

The originally boring journey was chaotic with such a pair of lively young people, and Xu Jianguo's gloomy mood was dispelled a lot. He is obviously only in his thirties, but he has lived a life like he is about to die.

People shouldn't always live in the past. Xu Jianguo reached into his arms and touched the half pack of "special" brand cigarettes, and suddenly felt a little emotional, probably the squad leader also hoped that he could live a better life, right? Since he was discharged from the army, his life has been to take care of Chen's mother, and now that Chen's mother is gone, what should he do? As for the future, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but be a little at a loss. Looking forward to the future, this is still something that he and the squad leader Chen Xiang would only do when they sneaked out to smoke at night at the station, right? I remember that he said that he had not studied much, and he must marry a wife who studied well after returning from the war, so that the child would not be as stupid as him, and he laughed at him for not being ashamed.

If...... Unfortunately, there was no if.

Looking at the pair of young people on the opposite side who were energetically planning their future teaching life, Xu Jianguo was not without envy.

It's nice to be young.

There is hope when you are young, and you have a bright future.

Xu Jianguo suddenly remembered He Huanyu, he is younger, and the future will be even brighter.

Thinking of He Huanyu, Xu Jianguo was finally no longer at a loss about his future.

……

……

Looking at the scene with a strong atmosphere of the times in front of him, He Huanyu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Returning to his own home in Province G, He Huanyu was always a lot more relieved. After moving his body, which had become a little stiff after more than ten hours in the car, He Huanyu decided to treat himself to something delicious.

Going home is not in a hurry to go home, and now let him sit for a few hours on the tattered and old, smelly and rocking minibus, He Huanyu feels that he can go to half his life.

As soon as he summed up a little, He Huanyu led Lu Tenglong out of the station, stopped a tricycle and went straight to Tao Taoju in Liwan District.

Taotaoju is located in the tenth Fu Road, Liwan District, is one of the time-honored brands in the Yangcheng catering industry, mainly engaged in refreshments, moon cakes, and dishes. Maybe it is not as well-known as the Lianxiang Building, which is less than forty meters away and is known as the "first lotus seed store", but in comparison, He Huanyu still thinks that Tao Taoju's dishes are more to his taste.

You said you hadn't heard of "Lianxiang Lou"? You should have heard of the "wife cake" that buys cakes and doesn't give them to your wife, and the soft, sweet, and delicious lotus paste buns.

Another reason why He Huanyu prefers Tao Tao Ju is because of Tao Tao Ju's tea. It is said that when Tao Taoju was first founded, he began to hire more than a dozen young monks to go to Jiulong Spring in Baiyun Mountain to fetch water to make tea. The little monk starts working in the early hours of the morning, and the walking route and where he rests are relatively fixed, and his bucket is covered and locked. There is a "Jiulong Spring" water sand paper strip pasted at the riding seam, and a small flag is planted on the burden, swaggering through the city to attract the attention of passers-by.

I don't know if it's a psychological reason, anyway, every time He Huanyu feels that Tao Taoju's tea is extraordinarily fragrant.

The breakfast for two was still very generous.

Crispy but not hard, melt-in-your-mouth suckling pig, sweet and delicious milk queen buns, stir-fried meat crab with ginger and shallots, shredded salt-baked chicken, colorful fresh shrimp, treasures in the snow, braised chicken abalone wings and thin-skinned shrimp dumplings.

To put it bluntly, this is the most hearty meal Lu Tenglong has ever eaten in his life.

Lu Tenglong, who was slumped in his seat and sipping tea, admired He Huanyu opposite him even more, as he said in an interview with the media in the future: "In my most desperate time, I met a person who changed the fate of my life. He taught me a lot, and I can say that almost everything about me was given to me by him. However, what I admire most about him is that no matter where he goes, he can find good food as soon as possible. ”

……

………

After breakfast, He Huanyu planned to take Lu Tenglong to find a phone booth to call his grandfather. One is to report on what has happened recently, and the other is to let him send someone to pick him up. As for the "broken brick", it is strange that after sitting in the car for more than ten hours, there can still be electricity.

The phone was connected quickly, He Huanyu did not expect that his grandfather who was far away in the imperial capital had returned, and this would happen to be in Yangcheng, not far from Dihe District, as if there was something wrong in the construction process of the CITIC Plaza project undertaken by the engineering team below, after all, he had a lot of dealings with the head office of Xionggu Clam Shell in Hong Kong City, so he went over to see it in person.

He Huanyu is no stranger to Dihe District, the future new city center of Yangcheng, where the company building of Neteasy, the developer of the game "Fantasy Journey to the West", which he was once obsessed with in his previous life, is located. Speaking of which, although Brother Shi's online game started with free mailboxes, in He Huanyu's personal opinion, Brother Shi's online easy game has made an indelible contribution to the games independently developed by Huaxia.

It's a pity that it's still 95 years now, not to mention the Fantasy Journey to the West, Brother Shi probably hasn't even set up a Firebird BBS, and the NetEasy Building is even more shadowless.

Shaking his head and sighing, He Huanyu, who was not too entangled, pulled Lu Tenglong and ran back to Lianxiang Building to buy a few lotus paste peach bags, then stopped a taxi and went directly to find his grandfather.
