Chapter 35: Hurry
Pushing back the window, Chen Kun stood on the terrace on the third floor of the small western-style building, where the heavy snow followed and the sun shone brightly on the edge of the house, the telephone poles, and the ice on the branches of the trees even more crystal clear.
In such weather, Li Qin, her mother, would not allow Chen Kun to go out for a run, but because the sun was shining for a few days, the ice hanging on the power line bridge had already been loose and crumbling, and every time after the heavy snow in the south, there were accidents of being killed and injured by the ice hanging that fell from a high place, which was indeed not a joke.
Although the sun was shining in the morning, the temperature was still very low, and the north wind through the terrace shocked Chen Kun's spirits, and the laziness of getting up was almost gone.
In the small courtyard, the father's Poussin has already gone out, the cold weather is the season to eat hot pot, as the earliest hot pot restaurant in Yuzhang landed, the natural business is too good to be a mess, just in the winter, my father bought a small car to travel, and also caught up with the tail of the trend with the big brother, and the name of dealing with people has also become Manager Chen.
Life has always inadvertently changed many people, the days are getting better and better, the friends around the father have also changed a few stubbles, the so-called life, are hurried passers-by, some people will disappear in the sea of people with you, some people will spark, leave a mark, even the father is very open, change the way to educate Chen Kundao: "If you have no achievements, you will have no friends because of mediocrity; if you have achievements, you will lose friends because of excellence." ”
After getting dressed and going downstairs, my mother has already gone out, after the business of the hot pot restaurant is getting better, my mother has little time to play cards, most of the time is taking care of the new store in the west of the city, although I don't read much, many years of social experience and interpersonal relationships have also taken care of the west of the city, women will always be better in the details, the old customers send a fruit plate, and the greetings and two sentences of home style also make the whole west store more humane, so the location of the west of the city is the most remote, but it is the highest turnover of the three stores, and others are willing to go over no matter how far away。
Chen Kun went out with a backpack on his back, and it has been a few days since the matter of making a big fuss about the Wei house, and in the past two days, Li Weiguo has been busy accompanying the people of the Wei family to go through the procedures for the transfer of the battlefield, and Chen Kun began to expect, in the face of huge interests, Wei Zhongxian really chose to take over the battlefield, except for an outlier like Chen Kun, no one would want to get along with money.
Of course, I accidentally met Su Anxi's father and daughter at the Wei family that night, plus two crown cars with SH license plates, which can give Chen Kun a lot of associations, but how much is involved, Chen Kun doesn't want to think about it, and I haven't seen her ask about it when I meet Shi Yi at school in the past few days, so I don't think Su Anxi told her about that night.
Chen Kun and Su Anxi don't have much intersection, and they don't care about their father and daughter's thoughts, the first is that Chen Kun doesn't have any other thoughts, and the second is that he knows the subtleties, looking at the style of Su Anxi's father and daughter, Chen Kun can also vaguely know that some of the Su family's backgrounds are not ordinary, and Chen Kun is actually not interested in these red generations, or as a pawn of a certain high-ranking official.
Walking in today's society, there is certainly a background that may have a green light all the way, but the relative risks are also increasing geometrically, and they are often both prosperous with the backers behind them, so although many people are eager to do this, Chen Kun is really not interested in such a thing, for Chen Kun, who knows the general trend of the next twenty years, whether it is to turn the empty or be opportunistic, even if it is to lie on the well-known giants of later generations as a vampire, Chen Kun has a way to let himself go higher, farther and more secure, and naturally stay away from the intricate officialdom。
In other words, Chen Kun and Shi Yi have a very good relationship, and they never thought of meeting her father Shi Zhen, the parent official who is in charge of Yuzhang, that is a famous figure from the Shi family in the northwest, but in fact, with Chen Kun's temper, if he didn't really fall in love with Shi Yi, Chen Kun would not have had time to hide.
Since the Wei family has been calm recently, today is the weekend, the sun is shining and the weather is excellent, Chen Kun naturally wants to go out for a walk, although it has been a short time since he returned to this world, Chen Kun still feels that he can't see enough, there are too many things that Chen Kun needs to miss this year, the old buildings with blue bricks and red tiles standing quietly in the alleys, the small traders pushing the snack cart and Chen Kun passing by, the moss-mottled old city wall, even the newly brushed quicklime on the camphor trees on both sides of the road make Chen Kun feel inexplicably cordial and sad.
Walking along the straight road, Chen Kun also understood that his mother did not let him run in the morning, a large area of camphor trees were broken by ice and snow, and on both sides of the road were sanitation workers in yellow coats, sawing off the branches hanging on the road, and throwing them into the wooden sanitation truck that was still wrapped in ice and snow.
Because of the many tree saws, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of camphor trees, and a faint sadness is wafted.
Turning a corner, the scenery in front of you is completely different, it is a large field of deciduous sycamores, the branches of which have long lost their leaves are followed by crystal clear ice shells, and the sunlight shines like crystal, bringing out a completely different beauty.
There is very little rime in the south, more is the crystal-like crystal clear brought by this freezing rain, which freezes time and freezes beauty, just like this plum blossom in Chen Kun's hand, this is a plum blossom picked up by Chen Kun under the plum tree, the bright red petals with yellow stamens, at this moment the whole flower is condensed by the cold winter rain, and the petals are completely sealed by the crystal clear ice shell, as if a jewelry wrapped in crystal.
Chen Kun lowered his head and sniffed, but there was no taste, and the ice and snow also sealed the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
There was a small slope at the slope that was not too steep, because it was right in the wind, and the slope was covered with thick ice, and a group of small children used a few hardwood planks as bobsleighs and sat on them to slide down the steep slope, bringing laughter.
If it weren't for rebirth, Chen Kun would have been one of them. Looking at them, Chen Kun can think of his fading youth dreams, in fact, they are all ordinary and extraordinary, staying up late in Internet cafes during adolescence, and charging on the Internet, proud of the city's key high schools.
Turning the corner, Chen Kun looked at the Children's Palace at the end of the road, silent in the wind, which carried the memories of Chen Kun's youth, and remembered many years later that when Chen Kun left the city, the walls were mottled a lot, but they still stood tall.
It is only when people are middle-aged that they understand that memories are heart worms, and light makes people itch and do not allow them to touch, and only after stepping into society do they remember that the teacher forgot to teach the eight-sided exquisite.
Carrying the backpack in reverse, changing the mood, and then striding forward, the matter of buying a shopping mall is also extremely smooth, and one party has a need and one party is lacking, so it is natural to hit it off.
Chen Kun doesn't need to come forward to sign the contract, and Chen Kun doesn't understand the decoration design, and Chen Kun just takes a look at the check when the plan comes out, so Chen Kun has been a little idle recently.
However, two days earlier, Chen Kun sent his jeep to the car dealership for modification, there are really not many people who play modification in these years, and there are few modification accessories, and many steel parts are handmade by the master of the modification factory, so the master of that year is the real master, whether it is modification or car repair, it is a real repair, there is craftsmanship, and I don't want future generations to just change parts.
Came to the modification factory, the master A Qing was really busy polishing the front bar for Chen Kun, such an all-metal front bar has a special name "competitive bar", there are a lot of imported brands in later generations, this year is not the same, there is no place to buy if you want to buy, A Qing has this one in his hand is welded with steel plates, Chen Kun looked at the interface is smooth and flat, and the craftsmanship is excellent.
Seeing Chen Kun coming, Ah Qing hurriedly got up and greeted: "Kun Shao is here, it's good to spray paint after the bar, come and see, the shock absorber has been replaced, the tire hub has also been replaced, the latest all-terrain tires, just wait for the customized tax-related throat and winch to arrive, you can load the car, I said Kun Shao, such a big change, it's enough to go to Iraq to fight, where are you going?"
Ah Qing is a friend of Heizi, so he is also extremely enthusiastic about Chen Kun.
Chen Kun smiled and said: "Didn't you talk about no man's land, you have to help me find a way to help me find the snow chain I said, and if you can't buy it, you can use the modification of the truck." ”
Ah Qing laughed when he heard this: "No man's land? ”
This year through the no-man's land is really not a conventional route, in the years when self-driving travel has not risen, no matter who successfully crosses a no-man's land is a sensation, of course, Chen Kun does not intend to rely on this to become famous, the purpose of changing the car is to take Tang Yuan to the west during the winter vacation, the temperature in the northwest in this season is minus twenty or thirty, naturally it is necessary to prepare snow chains, the purpose of changing the front bar is just to increase the approach angle, as for whether to go to the no-man's land, where to go is the end, these Chen Kun have not considered, the destination is actually not the point, for Chen Kun to take Tang Yuan out for a walk is the most important, it is foreseeable that once the mall begins to decorate, it will definitely start attracting investment, and at that time, Tang Yuan will be very busy.
The two chatted a few more words, and Chen Kun went out, thinking about what equipment he needed to get, and listed them one by one in his mind, but fortunately, the departure time was still very long, and there was still a lot of time to plan one by one.
Next, Chen Kun planned to go to the library to sit, but he didn't go for a long time, catching up with the heavy snow in the past few days, Chen Kun thought about sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, looking at the snow scene by the river outside the window, bringing a cup of milk tea, and basking in the warm sun is also a special taste.
In Chen Kun's impression, there is a small road to the riverside from the repair shop, through the narrow alley, and it is very delicious to shuttle through the small alley in snowy weather.
Red, yellow, or gray tiles cover the not-so-thick snow, revealing a shaded shade of blue brick walls, which are often covered with thick ice in addition to mottled moss, and you always have to cover your head when passing by high door signs to avoid the water droplets that melt and drip from the ice and snow.
Turning a corner, a small church in front of him made Chen Kun stunned, time is really wonderful, maybe a year or two years This church in the early years of the Republic of China will be demolished, the specific time Chen Kun can't remember clearly, but at this moment this small church is still standing in the wind and snow, silently watching the pedestrians in the alley, as for its fate is a secret that Chen Kun can't say.
The wind blew and drove the wind chimes in front of the church, in the jingling sound Chen Kun approached, touching the bluestone wall of the church, as if touching the annual rings of the years, some of the bricks of the church are not the products of modern times, many of the green bricks have some unique lines, and many of the big green bricks on the footings are engraved with names.
This is a mixed product, with the texture of the green brick is the tomb brick of the noble tomb of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties dug up when the church was built, the lines on the green brick have a strong style of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the tomb brick is still the same, the cemetery has long been unknown, the big green brick at the foot of the base is the city wall brick of Yuzhang City, from the beginning of Qin, there is a history of carving the name of the craftsman on the wall brick when building the city wall, in order to hold accountable, but the city wall has been demolished decades ago, leaving only a few remnants of bricks silently watching the people in the past, there are many buildings like this in Yuzhang, but after a few years have been replaced by concrete and tempered glass buildings, slowly disappearing in the long river of history。
Walking around the church for half a circle, Chen Kun stopped under the eaves, the snow water on the eaves of the yin roof melted and condensed into a long icicle, Chen Kun stretched out his hand, touched the touch of extreme coldness, and broke off a root with a slight force, the extreme crystal clear, an inexplicable desire rose in his heart, stretched out his tongue and licked it gently, "Well, there is no taste." ”
"You're eating ice. A crisp voice sounded behind him, which frightened Chen Kun's hand and the icicle fell directly to the ground.
Turning around, Shi Yi stood pretty behind her, wearing a plush hat, a pair of gloves hung around her neck through the rope in the middle and hanging down from her waist, and a girl who was half a head taller than her stood on the side, wearing a light makeup but Su Anxi who had met in the Wei Mansion.
"Hey, Miss, people are scary. Then he stretched out his hand to Su Anxi and said with a slight smile: "Miss Su, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Su Anxi looked at Chen Kun in front of him and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face, Chen Kun in front of him was wearing dark jeans, a thick black sweatshirt, and a big red scarf, and he was extremely sunny and confident when he smiled, "Long time no see, classmate Chen Kun." Stretching out his hand and shaking it gently, Su Anxi secretly said in his heart: "I only saw it in the Wei family a few days ago, have you seen it for a long time?" There was some entanglement in his heart, it was difficult to connect the sunny big boy in front of him with the man who was holding the gun that night and exuding a crazy smell all over his body.
"You haven't said hello to me yet, are you really eating ice?" Shi Yi asked with a happy face.
Eating ice was such a childish thing as being caught by two little girls really embarrassed Chen Kun, and he didn't admit it at the moment: "You're dazzled, it's absolutely impossible, where are you going?"
"Nonsense, I saw it, what does it smell like? Of course it's going to the library, where are you going? But I actually met to go shopping with us, and I went to the library to find you. ”
Chen Kun grabbed Shi Yi, who was eager to try and wanted to break an icicle to taste, and said: "Don't try it, it's tasteless, girls should be reserved, let's go, I'll accompany you to go shopping." ”
Shi Yi touched Chen Kun with his shoulder and said, "Reserved wool, does anyone say that your scarf is ugly? I'll weave one for you." ”
"You're still going to do this?" said Chen Kun in surprise.
"Isn't it a small look at people? It's going to be a lot, are you really going on a road trip during the winter vacation? and your sister Tang Yuan?"
"Well, I didn't tell you. ”
"That's not going to work, I've got to go. Shi Yi frowned slightly.
"Why don't you go back to your hometown for the New Year?"
"I didn't tell you, you're mine. He said a little frustratedly: "I'll see it when I go back to my hometown." ”
Su Anxi frowned while listening, and said secretly in his heart: "My eldest lady, this is a tiger, not a teddy, I don't know who this is or you have it." ”
The car that sent Shi Yi and Su Anxi to the library was still parked on the side of the road not far away, and Shi Zhen, who was sitting in the back seat, glanced at Su Shisan on the side and said, "This is the kid you said that night? ”
Su 13 smiled and said, "You don't know how it is if you haven't touched it?" said and glanced at Shi Yi, who was standing next to Chen Kun with a smile on his face, and his eyes swept over Su Anxi, who was on the side, and said: "The female is not in the middle, you don't want to look down on it, I think it's good, anyway, I'm just a daughter, otherwise let it be for our family Xixi?" ”
Shi Zhen smiled and waved his hand, "Don't mix, let's drive." ”
The driver asked Yan and started the car, and Chen Kun watched the black Audi 100 drive by.
