Chapter 22: Chinese New Year's Eve

The family was looking at the old lady who was coughing with Gong Hanlin on the screen, Feng's mother was amused and laughed, Feng Yiming looked at Teacher Zhao Lirong who was already powerless on the screen, this should be her curtain call performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared with the sketch actor who was specially pulled out by the party newspaper to be criticized by name, the vast majority of people should love this lovely old lady more.

Looking back at the 1999 Spring Festival Gala, Feng Yiming did not have any surprises. Except for Cai Guoqing and Chen Hong's "Always Go Home to See", which can arouse people's hearts, he has no impression of other programs.

Feng Wei'an has already entered the house, flipping through the phone book, calling one by one to greet the New Year, in 1999 no more than a few years later, everyone has a mobile phone, and the custom of sending mass text messages to greet the New Year has not yet become popular.

Feng Yiming sat on the sofa with his mother and watched TV, but he was thinking in his heart that in the next six months, it would be difficult for him to have any more opportunities to go out of school, should he take advantage of the holiday to go out and see the location of the Internet café.

Thinking of the candidate for the manager of the Internet café, my aunt's son Li Yu is stable and capable, just now Li Yu called to pay New Year's greetings, saying that he was not working well in Yangcheng, his education was low, he was old, and he was not competitive. I also wanted to go back to Jianghe, the capital of Bac Giang Province, and asked Feng Wei'an if there was a way.

Both parents came out of the countryside, and the Feng family did not have a few college students later, most of them mixed in the countryside until they reached adulthood, took a daughter-in-law, and then went to work in other places. The few relatives who came out rarely returned to Qingping, and they all took root in other places. And her mother has few relatives, Feng's mother only has a sister-in-law's eldest brother, who went to college before the ****, and later was assigned to SH to make a phone call during the New Year's holidays, and she hasn't returned to Qingping for many years. After Feng Yiming went to SH in his previous life, he rarely came to the door, although his uncle and cousin were not affectionate, they regarded him as a relative, and his aunt and cousin asked him when he would leave every time Feng Yiming entered the door.

Feng Yiming knew that he was young and couldn't get his ID card now, and he had to hide these things from his parents, except for his relatives, he couldn't find anyone else to do this.

In this era, as long as you don't open an Internet café in a place where people rarely visit and don't encounter any major safety accidents, there is no one who doesn't make money. To open an Internet café in Qingping City, it is either near the school or on Shinan Road, a commercial street that will start construction this year. When he ran out a few days ago, he deliberately went to a few places in Qingping City where Internet cafes were gathered later, and there was only one Internet café, the environment was dirty, messy, and dark, and there were only a dozen machines, and they were dilapidated, and the operation speed was very slow, and there were no large number of subsidiary sales in the Internet cafes later.

Feng Wei'an easily finished the call, went back to the living room, and took a big sip of the teacup, "Hey, did Zhao Lirong come out?"

Feng's mother looked at the TV intently, "It's early, and it's in front this year." ”

Feng Yiming sneaked into the house and picked up the phone, "Hey, Brother Li Yu?"

"Yiming, what, I called to ask for a red envelope, hahaha. ”

Feng Yiming's mind was full of black lines, did he have such two back then? He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Li Yu, when I heard my dad call just now, he said that you were not going well in the south?"

Li Yu was stunned, "It's not going well, what's wrong?"

"If you go back to Qingping, what do you think?"

Li Yu said without thinking, "Of course it's the best, my parents are also old, and your sister-in-law is still messing around in the city brewery." But you don't know, your brother and I, with a secondary school degree, are not used at all in Qingping, no unit wants it, and it was your father who helped me to enter the brewery at that time, and I couldn't find anything decent in my hometown for other jobs. After all, I still didn't go to school well back then, Yiming, just now my uncle said that you have made a lot of progress this semester, let me tell you......"

Feng Yiming thought to himself, Li Yu, who he met in SH in his previous life, usually didn't have so many words, so he helplessly interrupted the other party's endless chatter, "Don't say it, stop, Brother Li Yu, it's like this, I have a friend who wants to open a store in Qingping, usually he is not in Qingping, and wants to find a local to take care of it, don't I want you?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What friend, what store do you open?"

"Don't worry about it, before you go to the south, you have to come to my house, and the red envelope hasn't been given to me yet!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "In the end, I'm still thinking about red envelopes." Okay, okay, I was going to come here before I left, probably the fourth or fifth day of the junior high school, okay, I'll see you then. ”

Feng Yiming quietly put down the phone and went back to the living room, Feng Wei'an looked at his son quietly and made a look, "Who are you calling?"

Feng Yiming looked at his mother who was staring at this side with his eyes, and said, "Auntie, my aunt was the best to me when I was a child, and I called to pay New Year's greetings just now!"

Feng Mu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's right, even if you kid has a conscience." ”

When the bell rang at midnight, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window, Feng Wei'an and his son lit the firecrackers that had been hung at the door, Feng's mother picked up the hot dumplings from the pot, and said loudly, "Come in and eat quickly, and go to sleep when the firecrackers are finished." ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng's mother did not ban alcohol tonight, Feng Wei'an drank a little too much, and hugged his son in confusion, "Yiming, wasn't it a leaf on the phone just now?

Feng Yiming looked at his father, looked back nervously at his mother who was busy in the kitchen, and shouted loudly into his father's ear, "Dad, you drank too much!"

Listening to the scattered sound of firecrackers outside the window, there was a faint smell of gunsmoke in the house, and the family of three ate the first dumpling of the new year, leaving the house full of mess, and they all went back to sleep.

Feng Yiming was lying on the bed, there were bear children outside the window who didn't sleep, picking up firecrackers outside to play, and from time to time there was a "bang" sound, casually opened an English book on the bedside, skillfully turned to that page, picked up the sketch, looked at the girl in the painting without the pair of black-framed glasses, and fell into deep thought.

During the winter vacation, I met with Zhang Jingjing twice, both of which were about to be in the Sanwei Study, I occasionally knocked on the side, and I also listened to the girl's two calls to the family, Zhang Jingjing only had her grandfather in Qingping's house, and her mother was working outside, listening to Zhang Jingjing's tone was probably a career, but she never heard the girl mention her father, and I don't know if she is alive or her parents are divorced.

On the second date, although he didn't succeed in holding hands, he successfully sent the girl home, and looking at the figure of the girl walking into the dormitory area of the old city, Feng Yiming was a little curious. Now the dormitory of the cadres of the city organs is in the south of the city, and Ye Zi's house is there, and they have lived in it for almost five years, and the area in this old dormitory area is small, the floors are low, and most of the people who live in the 80s and retired at the end of the 90s are leading cadres at the city level.

"Zhang" is a big surname, and her parents are likely to be divorced, I don't know whose surname she is, Feng Yiming doesn't think he has the ability to find out the origin of Zhang Jingjing's life here, thinking of this, Feng Yiming gently sandwiched the sketch into the book.
