The big iron-hulled bus, which looks like a passenger car version of a desert off-road vehicle, slowly enters the station with a "clang" sound.

A dark blue figure appeared not far away—Jiang Che didn't have to search for his memory anymore.

"Ultimate. ”

Very nice voice, and the ultimate, it should be Tang Combo, this nickname is very interesting, it will be popular from the era of video game halls to the Internet age.

"Big move, you wait for sister, stop, you listen to sister first. ”

The voice became eager and even frightened, Tang Yue shouted as she ran, and a tuft of long hair that had formed a braid jumped behind her.

People are near.

Small lapels, five buttons, double breast pockets, two slant pockets, two-finger wide jacket with a cuff at the bottom, dark blue textile factory overalls are not so fashionable, but clean and fitted, the trousers are a little oversized by the standards of later generations, and the shoes are not so matching......

But it doesn't matter, because everything is so fit, from feeling to temperament.

Jiang Che is very sure that in his past and present lives combined, he has never seen another person who can wear such an ordinary work clothes like Tang Yue's body, she has the simple mark of the innocent era, and it is so fresh and beautiful.

It's a pity that time is pressing, so he didn't have time to look more, Jiang Che hurriedly got into the car with his bag on his back and sat down on the iron chair by the window.

The conductor's aunt came over and "tore up the ticket".

Tang Lianzhao also came up, but the conductor's aunt didn't dare to go over, when she didn't see it.

The driver was still turning his head to see if there was anyone behind.

"Bang. ”

Tang Lianzhao slammed one arm on the iron rod that came up from the car door, making the sound of iron colliding...... So, this kid has a knife hidden in his sleeve?

What is he going to do?

"Drive, ...... fast"

Without waiting for Tang Lianzhao to shout the next sentence, the driver hurriedly started the car, and the whole car shook together and rushed forward.

"Ultimate...... Big move, come down, sister, big move. The blue figure chased after the car.

"Poof. ”

She fell, and she threw herself on the side of the road.

When Tang Lianzhao saw it, his face immediately changed.

"Bang. ”

Again.

"Parking. I told you to stop, didn't you fucking see my sister fall?"

The driver honestly stopped the car, Tang jumped out of the car in two steps, helped Tang Yue up, and said a little timidly: "Sister, are you okay?"

Jiang Che saw Tang Yue getting up through the car window, and while pulling his brother's sleeve tightly with his broken and bleeding hands, and then crying and saying something......

"Let's go, big move, go back with my sister. ”

"I don't, I'm going to kill him. ”

"There is more than one sister who has been laid off, and this is in response to national policy. Besides, isn't it undecided? It's just that there is such a thing, let me stop work and go home and wait for news. ”

"Shit, there was no one on that list at all, you were still first, I asked someone about it...... That old boy is deliberately trying to force you with this. He still dares to beat your idea, I have to kill him today. ”

“…… Then you killed him, went to jail, shot him...... In the future, my sister will be left alone in our family, what should I do?

"I ......"

"Be obedient, go back with my sister, my job is gone...... In short, there will always be another way to live. It's a big deal, let's borrow some money, and my sister will follow their example and open a tailor's shop. Sister has craftsmanship, we can't starve to death. ”

Jiang Che sat by the window and heard the conversation between the two siblings intermittently.

It turned out that he was going to be laid off, and in 92, this was the first batch, and it was considered a pioneer, so it was inevitable that it would be more frightening and difficult to accept, and it seemed that there was still some cattiness.

But in this day and age, this is a normal thing, and now it is just a wave, and then the wave will become more and more turbulent.

Ninety-two years is just a starting point, and the whole nineties that followed, how many tears, how much turmoil, how many family pains and difficulties...... In front of the rolling wheels of history, it is inevitable.

It is often difficult for people who have not experienced this era to understand how much despair and helplessness these years have caused by the wave of layoffs.

Suddenly, the iron rice bowl is gone, the source of livelihood is gone, the country has gone from being in charge of everything you to completely dismissing you, no matter about you, in this era, the workers who were once surrounded by glory and happiness can't figure it out and accept it for a while.

Relatively speaking, the situation in the south is actually fine, as for those industrial provinces in the north and southwest, it really feels like the sky has suddenly fallen, so that later, when Huang Hong easily and happily shouted the sentence "The people want to think for the country, I will not be laid off, who will be laid off", how many families, so depressed that they could not eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Che suddenly thought that his mother seemed to be about to be laid off from the only collective factory in the county, which should be next year, and he had the impression that she had cried at home for several days because of this.

"What do you see, get out, get out of here, and then see Lao Tzu kill you." ”

The sound interrupted Jiang Che's thoughts, Tang Lianzhao helped his sister turn her head and roared, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed in a panic.

"And you...... I'm getting out of the car, why are you still parked here, watching a play?"

"Who, whoever saw it, I'm not afraid that your ancestor will still be on it. The driver muttered quietly and started the car again.

Tang Yue struggled with his brother's sleeve in his hand, turned his head to look at the people on the bus with a ashamed face, and nodded in apologies quietly, he couldn't hear clearly, but he could see it.

Just like that, through a car window, her face slowly slid past Jiang Che's eyes.

It was a face that could instantly bring almost every man back to the age of innocence, delicate, pure, with a serene aura that was hard to find later.

There were still tears on her cheeks, and her eyes were clear, and there was uneasiness in her eyes, because the tears overflowed from time to time, becoming more vivid and distressing.

At this moment, Jiang Che really understood the two idioms he thought he was familiar with, one was called pear blossom with rain, and the other was called Chu Chu pitiful.

If you add another one, you should probably choose Mingjing moving.

"Thank you, Age of Innocence. ”

The mood inexplicably improved, Jiang Che muttered to himself, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.

The eyes of the two people met through the car window, but for a moment, Tang Yue glanced at it and turned his head in a panic.

The car is drifting away.

Jiang Che admired the "once" scene of the city all the way, with messy streets, high-rise buildings, tiled houses and gray old western-style buildings, and even farther away, you can vaguely see the appearance of farmland and wasteland.

In the next ten years, everything will change, and it will be a modern metropolis with a population of nearly 10 million.

Tang Yue's face with the atmosphere of the times resurfaced in his mind again, Jiang Che suddenly had a vague impression, and remembered that he seemed to have heard a few rumors about the factory flower siblings later, and they seemed to have something wrong, and they were once discussed on the streets and alleys......

But I didn't hear it too real at the time, and after all, after more than 20 years, Jiang Che thought about it for a while, and he really couldn't remember it clearly.

……

……

In 1992, it was another spring.

This is a well-known lyric later, in fact, in Jiang Che's knowledge and understanding, compared with 78 years, 92 years is a more critical year in the process of reform and opening up, because this year has clarified the status of the market economy.

Every year from then on, work, life, money, material things, and even people's thoughts and concepts will undergo earth-shaking changes in the most rapid manner.

But this year, the green train has not yet picked up speed, and it is habitually late.

After the train was delayed for nearly an hour, Jiang Che finally embarked on the journey home.

In the era of high-speed rail, it was a two-hour drive from Linzhou City to Shuichang City, but this was in 1992, and Jiang Che dangled in a crowded, noisy, smelly train car for six hours before arriving in the prefecture-level city of Shuichang.

After that, he had to transfer from Shuichang City and take a three-hour bus ride before he could return to his hometown of Quann County.

It was already nine o'clock at night when the bus arrived at the station, and the lights were dim in all directions, and the station was not in the suburbs at this time, but Jiang Che's home was in the suburbs, a two-and-a-half-story small building, which was worth a lot of money later.

In recent years, there have been no taxis in the small county, but fortunately, it is not big, Jiang Che "reappeared yesterday" all the way and walked home.

"Mom, Dad. ”

Standing at the door, when he shouted this, Jiang Che's eyes were sour, but he couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, because he was happy.

In front of him are his parents who have come back young, really, so young, this black and shiny hair, this straight waist, this ...... Hand strength.

Mother Jiang grabbed Jiang Che's arm and pushed him aside, poked her head out and looked into the distance.

"Still laughing, I don't know how to call Aunt Zhang's shop first...... So, what about the girl?"

"What, girl?"

"Hey, you called yourself last time and said that you would bring one back to show us, and what kind of surprise did you say, and we were satisfied...... Have you forgotten? Or is the girl not following you?"

Jiang Che tried hard to think about it, it seems that there is such a thing, and the purpose of mentioning it at that time was actually to pave the way for him to really go to teach.

After all, if you take your daughter-in-law and children with you for two years, there is a proper reason, and your parents will be a little better.

All of a sudden, things turned out like that.

Think about the willfulness in the previous life, and then think about the seven years when he was not by his parents' side, although Jiang Che has been working hard to fulfill his filial piety, but after all, he has caused so many worries and loneliness for so long, so many regrets!

"Let me make amends with this life...... It's just that for now, I have to trick you two again for the time being. Jiang Che thought helplessly.

……

……

Sitting at the dinner table, eating hot egg noodles, and being watched by the "young" parents left and right, Jiang Che couldn't help but redden his eyes again.

"There are too many chili peppers. He raised his hand and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and took the initiative to speak up, covering it up.

"School hasn't been out yet, is it?" Dad Jiang asked calmly.

Jiang Che nodded: "Yes." ”

"Is something wrong?" Dad Jiang looked down at his son's reddened eyes, held back tears, and said gently: "Don't be afraid. If something really happened, tell Dad, and Dad will find a way for you. ”

Jiang Che hesitated for a moment, he was really a bastard, but now he could just say it...... I can't miss this opportunity.

In another way, it is not impossible to accumulate my first pot of gold slowly, but in that case, it will take at least three or five times more time...... Because I'm almost self-made.

Thinking about this, Jiang Che lowered his head and said vaguely:

"I got into trouble at school, and the other party said that I wanted 6,000 yuan, otherwise it would get bigger...... I, may be expelled from school. ”
