Chapter 1 A Dream of Xijing in Ten Years

The smoky wind licked Zheng Xiao like a dog's tongue, making him sweat profusely, and there was also a hot fire under him, which made him very uncomfortable.

Beside him, the buzzing laughter drilled into his ears one after another, making it difficult for his soul to be at peace.

He woke up.

When she opened her eyes, Zheng Xiao found herself lying on the rooftop of the building, with a sparse starry sky above her head, and a moon hanging high in the line, spreading silver light to the earth.

The surroundings were covered with mats, and there were many men and women lying or sitting on them, who were rarely dressed and were desperately shaking their fans.

Zheng Xiao rubbed her eyes, a look of surprise.

It's just so wrong.

He struggled to recall:

Today is Valentine's Day 2016, and in the evening, the elderly are greatly stimulated by the sight of couples on the street when they go out to buy groceries.

When he got home, he began to count Zheng Xiao, saying that he was half-hearted and careless and in his early thirties, and he hadn't even found a girlfriend so far, let alone giving birth to a grandson for the second elder.

As the mother spoke, she began to wipe her tears, and said sadly, I don't know if she can see her son marry a daughter-in-law before she dies, if Zheng Xiao is still single when she dies, she will not be blind when she dies.

Zheng Xiao couldn't stay at home any longer, he ran away from the wolf, ran around the street, and felt even more bored, so he bought a bottle of Erguotou and a little peanuts and carried them to the rooftop of the top floor, and drank them alone.

The more I drink, the more I feel that my life is unsatisfactory, and there are too many flaws and regrets in my life and dreams.

It would be nice to do it all over again!

Zheng Xiao looked at the night sky, blowing the cold wind, and muttered to herself quietly.

At that moment, suddenly, a shiny meteor-like thing fell from the sky, and Zheng Xiao was hit in the head almost before he could react.

Then, he didn't know anything.

But now who can sue me? Why have all the seasons changed? It's a bitterly cold early spring! Why is it so hot all of a sudden?

Also, the situation in front of me is also wrong.

My residence in Xijing is obviously on the top floor of a 26-storey high-rise building, and when I sit on the rooftop and look down at the scenery, I see a sea of bright and colorful lights in front of me, and the prosperity of the city can be seen at a glance.

Fortunately, under his ass was a dilapidated tube building, surrounded by tall green trees, almost obscuring the view from afar.

Also, who can tell me what is going on with this person who is full of rooftops?

This seems to be their old house in the county seat of Hejun, right?

Zheng Xiao rubbed her eyes, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became.

He was a little confused if he was dreaming about nostalgia again. Pinch your arm hard, it hurts! This means that it is not a dream.

However, his family's old house in River County was demolished in 2010!

His parents used the demolition compensation to help him buy a small three-bedroom house in Xijing, which can be regarded as stabilizing Zheng Xiao's wandering life.

Every time I think of this, Zheng Xiao is a handful of bitter tears.

In the years after graduation, he was really too much of a failure, running a business as a white-collar worker, selling a song in a bar, and doing business, but in any of any aspects, he did not achieve much success.

So much so that if it weren't for the sponsorship of my parents, I wouldn't even be able to afford a house!

The house that had been demolished was now standing intact under him, and it was a cold winter before he was knocked unconscious, but now it was a summer with unbearable heat.

Such absurdity made Zheng Xiao's heart tighten suddenly, and he was thinking of a possibility: Could it be that I was reborn?

Thinking of this, he reached out and touched his body, trying to find something that could prove the time, such as his mobile phone.

At this moment, a ringtone of the mobile phone rang, which was Nokia's most classic ringtone, Nokia-Tune.

Zheng Xiao took out a straight mobile phone from his trouser pocket, but it was a Nokia 3310, and Zheng Xiao's body trembled slightly when he saw this mobile phone.

He clearly remembers that the first mobile phone he used was the Nokia 3310, which he bought when he graduated from college to find a job, and he was the only person in their dormitory who didn't have a mobile phone in four years of college!

Did you really go back in time?

Zheng Xiao connected the phone, but heard an old man's voice coming from the microphone: "Xiaoxiao, where are you?" ”

Grandfather!

It turned out to be grandpa's voice!

Zheng Xiao's tears flowed out, grandpa died of cerebral hemorrhage in November 2006, and his father later told Zheng Xiao that if he could raise enough money for surgery, his grandfather's life could be saved, but unfortunately, the family was too poor, and his father begged grandpa to borrow money from grandma, but he couldn't make up enough for the operation, and grandpa's illness was delayed.

Father told Zheng Xiao, and when his grandfather was sober, he vaguely told his father, saying that he should stop spending money on him, and keep the money for Xiaoxiao to marry his daughter-in-law.

Zheng Xiao waited until her grandfather died before she was notified by her father.

By the time he heard his father relay the above words, his grandfather had been dead for several years, and by that time, his father and mother had already moved into their family's new house in Xijing.

When the two of them were drinking one night, their father drank too much, so he cried and told the story of his grandfather's death, and that night, both of them cried profusely.

"Grandpa, I'm on the roof, I'll come down right away." Zheng Xiao choked up and said to her grandfather into the microphone.

"Oh, then you can cool down on it, I'll send you a popsicle on it, you must be thirsty on such a hot day, right?" Grandpa said lovingly.

After hanging up her grandfather's phone, Zheng Xiao looked at the time on her phone again: July 8, 2006.

He remembered that this was a short period of time after he graduated from Xijing University and went home to live and relax.

He lied to his parents and grandfather that his job had been signed, that he would rest at home for a few days, and that he would be able to go to work when he returned to Xijing.

In fact, it wasn't until almost a month after graduation that Zheng Xiao found a job as a salesman in a food company. Those days were the hardest time in his life.

No way, who called him a college graduate after the expansion of the university?

Who told him to study business administration with no precise career positioning?

Now, my life has started all over again, and I can't live up to this precious opportunity no matter what!

Zheng Xiao clenched her fists and walked down the stairs from the rooftop.

The corridor is dirty, full of debris and dust, full of dilapidated scenes, this floor is full of more than 20 families, and the largest house is only more than 60 square meters.

When Zheng Xiao walked to the door of his house, his heart was beating hard.

Once in ten years, I returned to my hometown, as if I was in a different world.

A rickety figure stood at the door, with white hair and a wrinkled face, who could it be if it wasn't a grandfather who was haunted by his dreams?

"Xiaoxiao, look at your heat, eat an ice cream to quench your thirst." Grandpa handed over an ice cream that had melted into shape, and there was a loving smile hidden in the wrinkles on his face.

"Grandpa, you eat, I'm not thirsty." Zheng Xiao walked over quickly, hugged her grandfather, and her eyes were red.

Looking at it like this, grandpa really plans to go to the rooftop to deliver ice cream to himself, right? The old man is already seventy-three years old, and his health has not been good, he walks tremblingly, and he is still thinking about himself.

This made Zheng Xiao feel very uncomfortable.

He helped his grandfather back to the house and helped him to sit down on the sofa.

The mother poked her head out of the back room and beckoned Zheng Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, come over and see if the things that my mother has prepared for you are missing?" ”

Zheng Xiao said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, you can watch TV first, and I will come to talk to you later." ”

"Good, good! Xiaoxiao, you go. Grandpa nodded.

Zheng Xiao walked into the back room and saw her mother sweating profusely preparing her luggage: a new quilt, mattress, blanket, bed sheets, and even towels and underwear.

My mother is 50 years old this year, which is not too old, but her hair is already gray after working all day.

"Mom, you don't need to prepare these for me, I have a cover in Xijing." Zheng Xiao said.

"Those have been used for four years, and it's time to replace them with new ones, Mom has already prepared them for you!" Mother let Zheng Xiao look at it in the same way, and finally, she took out a wad of 100 yuan bills from her pocket, "This is 1,300 yuan, Xiaoxiao, you can take it." ”

"Mom, this, I've graduated, and I'll be able to earn my own money soon, how can I ask for your money again." Zheng Xiao was stunned and subconsciously refused.

"Silly boy, you just graduated and haven't got your salary yet, you have to rent a house to live in Xijing, and you have to eat and drink again, how can you do without money? This thousand three is definitely not enough, wait a few days, my mother will pay her salary, and I will call you again. Mother smiled with relief.

She was very satisfied with her son's appearance tonight, and his son had never been so considerate when he talked to her in the past.

She didn't know that the son in front of her now had ten years of vicissitudes of experience compared with before, and he was no longer the impatient hairy boy.

Zheng Xiao finally took her mother's money.

Because he knows that he is almost penniless now, in fact, he went home this time mainly to ask his parents for money to tide over the difficulties before finding a job.

Zheng Xiao's home is a small two-room home.

My parents lived in a slightly larger bedroom.

In the other small bedroom lived Grandpa, and after a one-meter-two bed and a simple cabinet and small table, there was almost no place to put his feet down.

Therefore, every time Zheng Xiao goes home, she can only sleep on the sofa in the living room.

This night, Zheng Xiao waited for his parents and grandfather to sleep, but he had insomnia.

He was planning his future life.

Ten years later, he will have countless opportunities ahead of others, and he is wondering how to grasp these opportunities and how to make a lot of money.

The reason why he is so eager to make money is because of his grandfather's illness, which cannot be delayed, and he wants to earn at least 100,000 yuan before November to save his grandfather's life!

100,000 yuan! Ten years later, it is also a large amount of money for Zheng Xiao.

Thinking about it, Zheng Xiao went to bed very late, but woke up very early, because he was going to take the bus back to Xijing this morning, and his mother also got up early in the morning to cook for him.

Zheng Xiao got up early and turned on the TV to watch CCTV's morning news.

The announcer of this news program is Lang Yongchun, Lang Yongchun is a CCTV host that Zheng Xiao prefers.

The headliner was the result of the World Cup final in Germany at 2 a.m. today: Italy beat France 5:3 to win the trophy for the fourth time.

Zheng Xiao already knew the result of this news, and he was not surprised.

However, a wonderful phenomenon that happened to him made him feel extremely shocked: he found that when he was staring at Lang Yongchun on the TV screen, his eyes and ears suddenly were like high-frequency hawk eyes, and he quickly scanned and analyzed Lang Yongchun's facial expressions, behaviors, and voice characteristics, and he immediately accurately grasped the essence of Lang Yongchun's speech and demeanor when broadcasting the news.

He felt that as long as he wanted to do it, he could completely imitate Lang Yongchun's process of broadcasting the news.

He glanced at his mother, who was still busy making breakfast on the briquette stove at the door, and began to quietly try to imitate Lang Yongchun to broadcast the sports news just now.

He found that when he was pronouncing words, the brain center began to send out clear and fast instructions, and he heard that his voice was really similar to Lang Yongchun's voice, although his demeanor and demeanor could not be seen, but he realized that he was also imitating Lang Yongchun's expression just now.

Did I acquire a magical ability to mimic? This discovery made his heart beat violently.
