Chapter 39: Time Is a Magical Hand

Early July. Because of the demolition of the old house, Su's father deliberately drove back to Ning'an Street. He was accompanied by Su Luosheng.

In the past two months, Su Luosheng didn't know if it was because his nutrition was too good to keep up, or if his body was in a state of growth, his height suddenly became very high, and his figure was slender and slender. Even the simplest, most common casual clothes worn on him have the temperament of a model in a street closet. Dad Su walked all the way, and the most he heard from his old neighbor was: "Ah, this is Luosheng?" Why haven't you seen you for a few years and grown so tall? Have you grown into a handsome guy? ”

Their impression of Su Luosheng still seems to be stuck in the school's well-combed hair, carrying a heavy school bag, and wearing myopic glasses that often fall under his nose, who can associate him with today's tall boy with black hair and bright eyes?

The houses on Ning'an Street were tested for safety hazards, so the government issued an official document for compulsory demolition in mid-June. Next year, it will be transformed into a government office building and a new court institution. Many residents are packing up their decades-old belongings and preparing to move, but many more say they are reluctant to move after living here for decades. Le Dad belongs to the kind of people who don't want to move out. Let's not mention that this house has too many memories of him and his wife. He has no relatives in this city, where can he move with Xiaoxue? Where is his place?

Although the cement road was built on Ning'an Street very early, the ground has always been full of potholes due to the fact that the master at that time cut corners, coupled with the occasional large truck, and the large truck forced in. When it rains heavily, you can't tell where there are slopes and where there are potholes. So Su's father could only park his car at the corner of the street and walk to his house. However, halfway through, the new leather shoes he bought yesterday were stained with black watermarks, and Su Luosheng heard him complain in a low voice: "This ghost place really doesn't want to come." ”

He called this place where he was born and raised a ghost place! Father Su's words made Su Luosheng feel very uncomfortable in his heart. Since my father started a business and made money, his speech seems to have gradually changed.

Like all nouveau riche, after being rich, Su's father first changed houses, then bought a car, and finally had a famous brand all over his body. It stands to reason that this is nothing, since you have money, why not improve the living conditions and living environment a little. But the bad thing is that Su's father's values have also changed as he has gone from poverty to wealth. He looked down on the poor, and even more on the poor life he had experienced.

"Yo, isn't this Sawako? Your big boss is busy, why do you have time to come back here today? The middle-aged man who walked over recognized that the man in front of him in a suit and leather collar was Su Zeming, who had worked with him in the past, and immediately surrounded him like a cat smelling fish. Joke, Su Zeming became a rich man, that is known to the whole street, if he has a good relationship with him, he will get up early and return to a broken factory every day and be tired like a dog!

Su Luosheng saw his father seeing this person, and deliberately opened a suitable distance. It can be seen that he doesn't like the other party's proximity. "It's not because of the demolition of the old house, otherwise I would have come here without anything?" Because of the change of identity, Su Zeming has already seen the shadow of the original submissive man who spoke and did things in his body.

The man immediately echoed and smiled, "That's too." This kind of poor place is where a big boss like you should stay, which is obviously not in line with your noble temperament? ”

Noble temperament? Su Zeming glanced at the man meaningfully. About six or seven years ago, they were reselling things together in the wholesale market. Whether it's sunny or rainy, they make their faces gray and unkempt every day, did he say at that time that he had a noble temperament? He just poured cold water on him mercilessly when he heard that he was going to start a business alone, saying that he was daydreaming and delusional.

He admits that he likes to be complimented, but he doesn't like it to the point where he can't tell whether someone else is real or fake.

Noticing Su Luosheng next to him, the man continued to smile and said, "Eh, this is Luosheng, right?" I didn't expect that my uncle who hadn't grown up for a few years was about to disappear? I'm Uncle Lee, who used to drink with your dad a lot, do you remember? ”

Although Su Luosheng and his father also disliked this man, he still maintained the politeness that a child should have and shouted, "Uncle Li is good." In fact, he looked at him carefully for a long time before he remembered who he was.

In the early days of my father's business, he was still selling things in a grocery store. To put it mildly, it is to sell those defective and defective products found during the production process at a low price. Because it sells low-priced products, the profit earned from it can be imagined how low it is. Sometimes in order to repay the price of five cents to the guests, I have to wear out my mouth for a long time.

The man, Uncle Lee, also ran a grocery store at the time, just across the street from Su Luosheng's house. In today's terms, it is considered a competitor in the same industry. The grocery store is located to the east of the wet market, where there are a lot of people passing by every day, and business is not too bad. But for Su Zeming, who has always had great ambitions, such a life is too embarrassing. Although he does not seek to be rich and rich, if he is content with the status quo for the rest of his life, he, his children, and his wife will gradually die of old age in this slum that everyone hates.

After that, he did something very bold. He sold his grocery store and opened a two-dollar store in the city with money borrowed from relatives and friends. At that time, he was carrying thousands of pounds of foreign debts, and every morning when he woke up and opened his eyes, he was thinking about how to pay off the money. Now everyone is envious of his glamorous today, but no one knows how much suffering he has suffered in the past and how many indifferent eyes he has suffered.

Uncle Li is one of the many white eyes that once appeared. Not only did he not lend his father money when he was at his worst, but he later joined others in describing his behavior as absurd and ridiculous. When Su Zeming's store gradually changed size, changed its layout, and turned into a cosmetics store, everyone, including Su Luosheng, did not expect that his father would change from a poor man with a lot of foreign debts to a big boss who pointed fingers at others to do things. Now he is a sole proprietor and has founded a cosmetics company, which is profitable every day. There are some things you don't do, and you never know you're going to climb so high and go so far.

was called by Su Luosheng as Uncle Li's grinning response: "Well, this kid is really good." If I'm not mistaken, is Luo Sheng also taking the college entrance examination today? How are the results of the college entrance examination? I heard that Lao Lejia's daughter took a book and reported a big A. Think about how many decades I've lived on Ning'an Street, and it's the first time I've walked out as a college student! ”

Su Luosheng chuckled in his heart. He naturally knew who he said about Lao Lejia's daughter, but what he didn't expect was that she also applied for A University. He thought that she would not hesitate to choose a city far away from City A.

Su Zeming let out a sneer from his nostrils and expressed disdain: "Lao Li, if you don't suffer from Alzheimer's disease, you should know that from elementary school to junior high school, our Luosheng's grades have always been above Le Xiaoxue." Do you think he'll be behind this time? ”

Lao Li looked at Su Luosheng very clearly. Su Luosheng met his gaze and replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li." I also took a book, and I also applied for an A major. It is worth mentioning that I am the top science student in City A this year. ”

He admits that the last sentence was added by him on purpose. Dad was wrong, it's not that he has been above Le Xiaoxue since he was a child, but that he wants to win over her in everything he does, and he wants to be ahead of her. To this day, he is unable to explain this psychology of his own.
