Chapter 1: Back in Time

On January 1, 2013, in the early morning, the Wushan to Tiancheng section of the Shanghai-Rong Expressway. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info a red Focus driving.

Zhang Xingming had no expression on his face, holding the direction with one hand, and looked at the front of the car blankly.

The car had no sunroof, and the window of the subframe opened a little gap, and the shaking wind rushed into the car along the gap, bringing a touch of coolness, and a pink fine slip on the subframe shook in the wind.

Tunnel after tunnel, tunnel after tunnel. This nearly 200-kilometer stretch of road is basically made up of tunnels.

The orange and dim lights in the tunnel converge into a halo, reflecting the yellow and white reflective bands on the two walls of the tunnel, endlessly passing over the body, making people feel dizzy, as if entering a time and space tunnel.

I don't know why the lights in the high-speed tunnel are designed like this, the hypnotic effect is not generally strong, most drivers will have the illusion of the car going off in the tunnel, in fact, this is the embodiment of being hypnotized, some people are heavier, some people are lighter.

Zhang Xingming opened his eyes vigorously, shook his head, pinched his thigh with his hand, made himself sober, looked at the speedometer, it was more than 130 kilometers, raised his right foot, and lowered the speed to 100 kilometers, the dim arc light kept flashing from his face, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, the things in front of him blurred all at once, bit his tongue before he was refreshed, and then quickly became confused. The car was swaying in the tunnel quickly and slowly, and Zhang Xingming slowed down again, thinking about going down to sleep in the next service area for a while.

It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time, Zhang Xingming suddenly felt stuffy in his chest, and an instantaneous sense of suffocation surrounded him, he tried to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't see anything clearly, he breathed hard, but he couldn't breathe anything, yellow, white, black, red, green, the colors in front of him swirled and rushed towards him, he desperately grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, and stepped on the brake with his right foot, but he didn't hear the sound of the brakes, there was no shaking and imaginary flipping, the quiet in his ears was terrible, the oncoming color had been mixed together, pressed on his face, and an irresistible sleepiness struck, and his brain just surgedThe sigh of "fatigue driving is unacceptable" loses the perception of everything.

I don't know how long it took, the feeling slowly returned to the body, Zhang Xingming exhaled twice, there was no pain in the body, his hands seemed to be bound, so that his attempt to touch his face was unsuccessful, his eyelids were very heavy, he tried to open them, and felt the dim light in the haze. Didn't something happen? I was still in the tunnel, and the car stopped? I just fell asleep? All kinds of thoughts surged in his heart for a moment, and he was really surprised at the moment when he thought he was going to die.

The girlfriend was hit by a car at 10 o'clock in Osan the first night, Zhang Xingming rushed from Banan to Osan overnight, fortunately there was no major incident, only a minor external injury, a head knock, and he was in a coma at the time. After dealing with the affairs of the hospital and arranging for someone to take care of her, Zhang Xingming rushed to Bayu non-stop, and after not sleeping all night and relaxing his nervous spirit, this happened on the way back.

"In the future, I can't drive tired anymore, I have to sleep for a while", Zhang Xingming told himself in his heart, his heart was relieved, and he fell asleep in a daze.

At 8:20 a.m. on January 1, 2013, the surveillance video of the high-speed law enforcement department, I saw a red Focus shaking fast and slowly in the tunnel, suddenly, the surveillance image was distorted and shaken for no reason, mixed with a large number of snowflakes, and then clear, the car in the tunnel was gone, rewinded, and it was determined that it was gone, and the Fox disappeared mysteriously under the lens of the monitor in the tunnel. Report, all those in the know of the silence. The insurance company paid out the full amount at the fastest rate in history. The section was closed a day later, and a day later, a partial collapse occurred in the Skyscraper Ridge Tunnel, where vehicles had disappeared, and it was not reopened until three months later. The public security department found the identity information of Zhang Xingming's girlfriend through the owner's ID number, and sent the insurance compensation and the notice of death in the car accident to her.

Zhang Xingming didn't know all of this anymore.

――――――――――――――――――――

Zhang Xingming was woken up by a burst of coldness, and subconsciously curled up, as if his body was completely restrained, and he couldn't curl up, and there was a piercing sound of the door in his ears, "Squeak~, clang", and the voice followed: "I'll take a look, I'll see, it's a son again, my aunt is really good." Oops, this big fat boy, tsk, square-headed, big-eared. A gust of cold wind rushed over with the sound, making Zhang Xingming frown dissatisfied, and turned his head to the place where the sound came from.

A smell of disinfectant water poured into his nose with cold air, "I still hit it, this is the hospital", Zhang Xingming smiled bitterly in his heart, and then became happy again, "I'm not dead." No, I gave birth to a big fat son? What kind of hospital is this? Gynecology and orthopedics are combined? "It's so cold, I've been away from the Northeast for more than ten years, and it feels like it's been a long time, and Bayu is so cold this winter? It's not okay if you don't have heating." Zhang Xingming sighed in his heart, his eyes had opened, and he looked at the person who had just spoken, "Why is it a Northeast accent?"

It was a smiling face, a familiar face.

"Oh, wake up, look at me, really spirited," an exaggerated expression appeared on the familiar face, and he cried out.

"Sister Ping?" Zhang Xingming looked at the face in front of him in surprise, I haven't seen her for decades, Sister Ping is still so piercing and so young. Young? Zhang Xingming looked at it carefully, a pink face, a hand-knitted woolen scarf around his neck, and a frost formed by exhalation on his neck, two big black braids, what the fuck is going on? Zhang Xingming was shocked, Sister Ping should be fifty years old, how can this nun look like a teenager?

Sister Ping is the fifth child of Zhang Xingming's family.

Opposite house refers to two neighbors who share a kitchen, and the door of the two houses is facing each other in the kitchen, just like the east and west houses built in the countryside now.

Zhang Xingming's hometown is in Nanfen Town, New District, Cupxi City, Liaodong Province, which is the staff residential area of the Nanfen Concentrator of Beigang Mineral Processing Plant, located in Nanfen Guojiabao (pu, three sounds, there are many place names of forts in the northeast, such as Zhangjiabao and Sunjiabao), guarding the gate of the concentrator across the river.

At this time, the housing is allocated in the factory, one courtyard and two houses, sharing a kitchen, three courtyards and six families in a row, the northeast is called a trip, and a row is a trip. Six trips, each with 36 households, sharing a public toilet and a tap.

At this time, people are simple, and they don't have any hearts to intersect, and the two families who share the kitchen are like a family. Zhang Xingming was ten years old when he moved away from here in his last life, and he hadn't heard of any of the neighbors having two families quarreling, and they all got along very well. Zhang Xingming's brother and wife are called Sun Dad and Sun Niang, just like their own parents. When Zhang Xingming was nine years old, the factory began to build a large area for the workers to build a building, a five-story slab building, and later built to eight floors, all the workers moved upstairs to live, although these people are still familiar, but upstairs and downstairs where there is a bungalow convenient, every door is closed, slowly the affection will fade, there is no longer this kind of family affection. Later, the city got bigger and bigger, there were more and more people, and the conditions of each family were different.

"Oh, this look is too good, this kid must be terrible to grow up. Sister Ping stared at Zhang Xingming's eyes and said.

"Hehe, this child was born standing up. A voice that made Zhang Xingming extremely familiar came from the side: "The doctor was scared, thinking that it was difficult to give birth, but I didn't expect it to be smooth." It didn't take much effort to come out, and when I came out, I opened my eyes and saw that the doctor was rare. There was a kind of pride in the voice. In the Northeast, there is a saying that the mother of the child is standing and the official is born.

In an instant, tears filled Zhang Xingming's eyes and fell down the corners of his eyes, mother.

"Crying, crying, hurry, why are you crying? Afraid of me?" Sister Ping panicked, Zhang Xingming felt that his body was light, and then entered a warm embrace, Zhang Xingming tried to open his eyes wide to see, young mother. Tears rained down.

"What's the matter?" Sister Ping was still puzzled.

Mom wiped the tears on Zhang Xingming's face, stuffed the pacifier into Zhang Xingming's mouth, looked at him with a smile, and said, "I don't know." The child hasn't cried since he was born, and the doctor can't beat him. I'm still crying at this time, it must have scared you, it's hard to see how you get married. Sister Ping pouted: "I won't marry." ”

Zhang Xingming let out a long breath with a pacifier in his mouth, reborn? Every time I walk through the tunnel, I have the feeling of time and space traveling, I didn't expect to wear it this time, and I wore it to just birth, in 1973, my birthday is the eighth day of the second lunar month, and now it's just over the New Year. My mouth moved, and I consciously ate it, and my mother's milk seemed to have not eaten for a few days in my previous life.

"Why is this kid crying so weird, crying for a long time before it sounds, like a big celebration. Sister Ping said on the side.

"Slap", a slap on Sister Ping's head, "What nonsense." Zhang Xingming crooked his eyes and looked over, it was the eldest sister, the eldest sister of Sun Niang's family, and Sister Ping's eldest sister, who was staring at Sister Ping's hand and hadn't put it down, hehe, it was still so hot. Next to the eldest sister stood the gentle second sister, the second sister is so beautiful, and her four brothers and sisters are not like her at all, good-looking and delicate, gentle personality, and good voice, but unfortunately the person who married in the previous life is not good, and the life is very average. It is said that the essence of the five children of Sun Dad and Sun Niang is all in the second brother and second sister, one is tall and handsome, and the other is gentle and moving, but unfortunately it didn't catch up with the good times, and the ending was not good, but the ordinary eldest sister and sister Ping are much better. Zhang Xingming's eyes turned around, there was no one else, it seemed that he had to go home to see all these people in the depths of his memory.

"It's okay," my mother stroked Zhang Xingming's head and said, "Just after I was born, the doctor fought for a long time before he made a sound, and it didn't sound normal for me to hear, but the doctor said that it was okay, it would be fine to grow up, no." There was still a little worry in the words, Zhang Xingming heard it, in his last life, he heard his mother say that he would not cry when he was born, and he only spoke when he was one and a half years old, and the whole family thought that he was dumb.

Daqing is a mute neighbor, who usually comes to the house to play, and is about the same age as the eldest sister. Anyway, the eldest sister seems to be four or five years younger than her mother, so it's time for Zhang Luo to get married, right?

In the Northeast, the factories are not ranked according to age, the workers are all buddies, and the difference between 30 years old and you have to call your brother, and some of the old workers' children are more than ten years older than other workers, and they have to be called uncle

"This child, frowning when breastfeeding, what are you thinking?" said the eldest sister who came over and looked at Zhang Xingming with her bag and cloth.

Zhang Xingming sucked the pacifier and squinted at the young eldest sister, smiled at her, and called the eldest sister happily: "Smile at me, smile at me, this child is really spiritual." If you can hear it, you can definitely speak. ”

Sister Ping said on the side: "Daqing can also hear it." ”

"Smack", again.

Zhang Xingmingle ah, let go of ** opened his mouth and laughed a little, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Why is this kid doing this?"

"Maybe it's a small flat deal. ”

"Smack"

"You're really fighting?"

"Smack"

The door creaked open again, the heavy cotton curtain was lifted, and two people quickly entered the house, a doctor in front, and a familiar face in the back entered Zhang Xingming's sight, Dad was so handsome when he was young. The door slammed shut.

At this time, in the winter of Northeast China, whether it is a unit or a house, the door is pulled with a leather strip or a spring, and a cotton curtain is hung in the door. In this weather, it will be zero in the house in ten minutes. Anyway, if you are small and have no strength, going out and entering a door is really the same as fighting.

"What's the fun?" Dad patted the snow on his body, took off the thick cotton military hat and slapped it a few times in his hand, leaned over and looked at Zhang Xingming, "Haven't you made a sound yet?" asked Mom, Mom shook her head, "I cried just now, I made a sound, and I was happy for a long time without sound." ”

Dad looked at Zhang Xingming and frowned: "You can't be like the sixth child, right?"

Mom reached out and patted Daddy, "What nonsense, clean up." ”

Zhang Xingming's sixth uncle is also mute, my father is worried, haha, Zhang Xingming laughed in his heart.

The doctor laughed and said, "The interests of the people are above all else." Don't worry, there is no problem with this child's vocal cords or anything, but it is a little thick, and the vocalization will be delayed. He came up and looked at Zhang Xingming with a blanket, then turned around and said to his mother: "How energetic, no problem, you can be discharged from the hospital." ”

My mother smiled and said to the doctor: "Grasp the revolution, promote production, trouble you Dr. Liu." ”

Dr. Liu wrote a few strokes in the notebook in his hand and said: "Learn from Bethune's great spirit of benefiting others without self-interest." It's all right, what's the trouble, okay, pack up and go home, it's snowing heavily, and it's hard to go when it's dark. Stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Xingming's face, turned around and went out.

In this era, in public, no matter what the people do, they must say the chairman's quotations in the first sentence, which is also a very interesting historical feature, even if they go to beat the soy sauce, they have to be like this: "The sea sails by the helmsman, and I beat the soy sauce with the comrades." "Against all odds to fight for the greatest victory, I handed in my vote. "How interesting.

Several people folded and rolled up, and quickly packed up their things, Zhang Xingming was thickly wrapped again, his face was also blocked, and he was carried out of the door and got into the car.

It seems that it is the third day of birth, Zhang Xingming thought to himself, and remembered what his mother said, he was discharged from the hospital and returned home on the third day of birth.

Thinking about going home, Zhang Xingming remembered something again, saying that he was beaten by his brother as soon as he came home in his previous life, what is the reason? Oh yes, he didn't eat popcorn when he was fed, it seems that he has to be beaten again today, this beating can't be avoided, and I don't know if the three-year-old brother hurts to beat someone. Zhang Xingming's brows furrowed tightly, a little worried. (Children born in the Northeast are counted as one year old, and those who are 71 years old are counted as three years old)

"Why does this kid keep frowning?"

"Clever. "Dad.

Zhang Xingming rolled his eyes.

Pick up people is the liberation of Taiwan, is the factory armed forces department, the back of the car is covered with military cloth, the mother holds Zhang Xingming to sit and climb on the co-pilot, dad and others climb into the back bucket, this treatment in this era is quite advanced, otherwise you can only walk, the bicycle can not be ridden at all in winter, and the bicycle is also a high-end goods in this year, and it is not popular, riding a two-eight bar that is equivalent to the future generation of Daben.

The liberation rumbled out of the hospital, out of the gate and turned right is a kilometer downhill, if the driver in the south is estimated to look afraid, the bright road surface is covered with snow and snow covered with ice, a bad control will have to climb the pear (side sliding), the drivers here are used to it, not at all.

Not long after the car swayed and walked away, I heard loud music outside: "The great leader Chairman Mao taught us...... All revolutionaries must unite and resolutely oppose opportunism and capitulation,...... The broad masses of the working class must unite to ......" In the background of the surging revolutionary songs, the passionate voice came out from the loudspeaker, Zhang Xingming knew that this was under the big chimney tens of meters high at the bottom of the slope, and this chimney was still standing there until the year he wore it back.

With the shouting of a large crowd of people, the car stopped. The driver said, "It's okay, a group of little cubs are swearing, so why should they be unlucky." My mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought we were going to fight again, but don't hurt us." The driver said, "It's okay sister-in-law, don't worry." ”

The car stopped for a moment, and after a few minutes it started again, and gradually the sound outside gradually became quieter, and I heard the snow constantly hitting the front window of the car, and the wheels crunched against the snow on the road.

After driving for more than half an hour, it finally stopped, Sister Ping jumped out of the car and hissed and ran into the house: "Xiao Junzi, your brother is back, come and see." "Zhang Xingming's heart is tight, my brother Di, you have to be light.

His face felt warm, and when he entered the house, Zhang Xingming was put on the kang, the thickened layer wrapped around his body was also loosened, and the things that blocked his face were also removed, and his eyes lit up, followed by a baby face stretched out, his thick eyebrows were wrinkled, and his eyes were dark and bright, he was his brother when he was a child. The elder brother stared at Zhang Xingming, his small mouth kept moving, and he stuffed it tightly into his mouth...... Popcorn!
