Chapter 99: Homecoming
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the high-speed train arrived in Yanjing. Fang Yan and the three of them walked out of the station, and there was a bustling crowd in front of them.
Shen Boyuan wore big pants and waited at the exit of the station, and his girlfriend Li Qi also came. The two have been in love since the second year of junior high school, and they have been doing well until now. Li Qi is also Fang Yan's middle school classmate.
"Are you here for a tour?" Shen Boyuan said. A few people walked towards the parking lot, and he was a little angry when he saw that Fang Yan only had a guitar on his back. "Don't forget that Yanjing is your home. ”
Li Qi drove a black Passat, several people got into the car, and the car drove out of the train station and merged into the increasingly dense traffic in the afternoon.
Fang Yan sat in the back row, hugged the guitar sideways, and introduced each other: "This is my classmate, Shen Boyuan, this is Li Qi, they are all top students." This is my girlfriend, named Yuan Yuan, who showed you the pictures. This is Feng Lu, SS TV. ”
"TV station?"
Feng Lu was a little afraid of meeting people, but she quickly entered the professional role and said, "Hello, I'm Fang Yan's assistant. ”
"Assistant?" Shen Boyuan was startled. You've been out of prison for less than three months, and you're going home with an assistant.
"That T-shirt you're wearing, she drew it. ”
“……”
Fang Yan looked out the car window at the high-rise buildings on the side of the road. The strangeness at the beginning faded, and this was the city he grew up in and extremely friendly.
Outside Fang Yan's residential area, Li Qi parked his car quickly, and Fang Yan looked at the long street under the shade of the trees, which had not changed much. Several shops, restaurants, optical shops, and barber shops have not changed their signs.
Everyone walked into the community. On the side of the stone table and stone bench in the shade, there was a circle of old men playing chess, smoking cigarettes and fanning fans. A couple of puppies lay on their sides, sticking out their tongues and panting. The two old ladies who came over with vegetables looked at Fang Yan's face curiously, but they didn't speak.
Nothing has changed. This is the old courtyard of the educational institution, almost every household knows each other, and the parents of firewood, rice, oil and salt are short. Fang Yan didn't meet any acquaintances, but it was estimated that the news of his return would spread soon.
Shen Boyuan asked, "How is it, is there a feeling of mixed feelings?"
"It's okay......"
The three young men sat on the front steps of Fang Yan's house. The first one was quite thin, with short hair dyed a little red, and sparkling stud earrings. The other is of normal stature, looks relatively good, and has a righteous face. The last one was fatter, with sweat on his cheeks.
They were playing games on their phones, and they all looked serious.
Fang Yan stepped on the steps and said, "Don't play." ”
The three of them all looked up, silly music, and immediately lowered their heads, and the thin man said, "Yo, I'm back." Wait a minute. ”
They continue to play the game.
The fat man said, "Don't worry. We'll be done in a moment. ”
Cracking sound.
Boom.
Fingers flying.
Fang Yan was dazed, leaned over and looked at their mobile phones, it was a game that the little fat man Kong Lei liked to play. He turned his head and asked, "This is the legendary ......"
Yuan Yuan said: "Glory of the king." ”
Shen Boyuan nodded and said, "Yes, my mother can't stop when she comes." ”
After standing for a long time, the three of them finally lost.
Fang Yan pointed to the thin man and introduced Yuan Yuan: "His name is Huang Xiaozhang, he just graduated, and now he is a code farmer." ”
"Oh, hello. ”
Huang Xiaozhang shook his head and said, "I'll quit in a few days." ”
Fang Yan pointed to the person with a righteous face and said, "His name is Jin Lichun, and Lichun was born naturally. His family was very wealthy, and he went abroad to study in a few months. ”
"Hello. ”
Fang Yan pointed at the fat man and said, "His name is Zhang Chong, his IQ is relatively low, and now he has opened a small restaurant by himself." ”
"My IQ is higher than yours!" the fat man Zhang smiled heavily, and added to Yuan Yuan: "A small business, grilled skewers in summer, hot pot in spring and autumn." ”
"Hello. ”
Several people shook hands with Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu chaotically.
The key to Fang Yan's house has always been in Shen Boyuan's hands, he swiped the access control, and 8 people crowded the old elevator. Walking to the door of the house, Fang Yan opened the door and entered the house and turned on the light.
The lights are not on.
He turned on the switch, and the light came on. White light filled the room.
The TV, sofa, and bed were covered with white cloths, and there was a layer of quiet dust on the tiled floor and dining table. There was a faint musty smell in the air. Everything is still the same. His parents' bedroom was neat, but his cottage was a mess.
Every bit of the memory came back. Very down-to-earth.
Friends were silent. It's like looking at the ancient ruins of a small island. Yuan Yuan stood curiously in Fang Yan's bedroom, reading the books, toys, and posters on the shelves.
Shen Boyuan asked, "Do you need us to go out first, and you will cry alone for a while?"
"......" Fang Yan looked around and asked, "Where is my computer?"
Shen Boyuan said: "I moved to the dormitory, I told you before, did you forget?"
"Oh, what about my guitar?"
Jin Lichun said: "I took the school to play, and then it broke. ”
"How bad. ”
"I didn't really fall. Broke the people in the other dorms. ”
“…… What about my consoles? I remember putting them in the cupboard. ”
Zhang Zhong sighed and said, "Don't look for it." You're so old, what kind of games are you playing? ”
All right. Fang Yan turned around and asked again, "Why don't you move the TV?"
"TV ......" Shen Boyuan looked up and thought for a moment and said. "Don't even say it, this TV almost made people move. You have an uncle, it seems to be your father's cousin or something, and they came to their house once. ”
"Huh?"
Shen Boyuan sneered: "Your cousin is worried about this house, as soon as you entered the prison that year, he ran over and wanted to pry the door, saying that he wanted to live in." Just kidding, I called the police and called my dad over. ”
“……”
"I was afraid of blocking you, so I didn't tell you. ”
"And then?"
"He wanted to move the TV, but I didn't let him. The police said that if he wanted to come again, it would be counted as a burglary. ”
After his parents died, the uncle ignored Fang Yan. He was in the detention center and prison for so long, and that uncle never showed up. I can't imagine this. Fang Yan thought that he was not a ruined family, but it was almost over.
"Do you want to clean up?" Feng Lu asked, looking up. "I went to the supermarket to buy mops, rags, and laundry detergent......"
"Not yet. Let's go. ”
Fang Yan really wanted to clean up the house now, but his friends were here, and Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu decided to go to dinner after another day of training.
Everyone went to the nearby Da Dong roast duck restaurant. The skin of the roast duck is crispy and the meat is tender, dipped in sweet noodle sauce, with shredded green onions and cucumber strips, wrapped in a pancake, and you can bite into it with great happiness. Coupled with all kinds of stir-fried dishes, Yuan Yuan ate very happily.
Shen Boyuan and several people knew what happened when Fang Yan was imprisoned. Everyone looked at Yuan Yuan, whose mouth was full of oil, and they all tacitly agreed not to mention the past, as well as that Su Su.
But we still talked a lot about the past. Graduating from college at the age of 22 is a strange node in life. The fantasies of boyhood are slowly dissipating, and the road ahead has become clear. Like a new beginning, perhaps the last beginning of one's life.
chatting and chatting, it turned into everyone listening to Fang Yan's story.
Li Qi said: "Hey, the tickets for He Yu's concert in Yanjing have long been sold out, can you get me 2 tickets?"
"You really want to go?"
"Isn't this nonsense, she's a diva!"
"I'll ask. Fang Yan sent a message to He Yu on his mobile phone and said a minute later. "The tickets are here, 2 VIP tickets, I'll send them to you when I get back. ”
“……”
"I'll ask her to sign your name. ”
"......" Li Qi was stunned.
Shen Boyuan raised his glass and said, "You really haven't lived in this prison in vain. ”
"That's that, that's. ”
“……”
After eating, it was still early, but Huang Xiaozhang had to go to work the next day, Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu were a little tired, and everyone dispersed. Fang Yan didn't go home again, and took a taxi to the hotel.
Feng Lu sat in the co-pilot, Yuan Yuan hugged Fang Yan's guitar, slowly digested the food, and didn't say a word. Fang Yan asked Feng Lu, "Assistant sister, is it the first time you have come to Yanjing?"
"yes. ”
"Then you're on vacation, let's go out tomorrow. ”
"I'm going to follow you. Feng Lu thought for a while and said. "Otherwise, I'll clean your room for you, or that's fine. ”
"I don't need to ......"
Feng Lu looked at the light of the street lamps in the night and said, "The music atmosphere in Yanjing is very good. I think it's a little bit better than Koto. ”
"Yes. ”
Yanjing is the cultural center of China. In addition to the huge resources within the official academy, there are also rivers and lakes. As early as the beginning of the century, there were some rock villages and painter villages around Yanjing, where poets and artists from all over the country gathered, forming a strong artistic ecological environment.
Fang Yan thought, Yanjing is the Longtan Tiger's Den.
