When Su Can and the others returned home, the sky had already darkened, and the summer cicadas at night also flew out of the camphor tree, chirping on the branches, and the children of the age were holding cicada nets and chasing the summer cicadas' flying footprints under the camphor tree.

Lin Anqin made dinner at home and waited for Su Can and them to come back.

When she saw that only Su Fang and Su Can walked into the house, she suddenly had some doubts and said, "What about the others?" Why didn't I come back with you? ”

Su Can and Su Fang glanced at each other, and Su Can said, "When selling watermelons today, his sister came to him, saying that his grandmother was sick and asked him to go back to visit." ”

"So you're home?"

Lin Anqin took off the kitchen scarf, washed his hands at the sink, and said, "That kid, it's fine." ”

Su Can rolled his eyes dissatisfied: "Mom! ”

Lin Anqin smiled and said, "Of course you are also very good." ”

"Haha." Su Fang smiled and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

"Where's Daddy? Why haven't you gone home yet? Su Can walked into his father's room, there were a few pages of paper on the desk, he picked it up and looked at it, it was about barbecue Malatang, it seemed that his father was quite concerned about this matter.

Lin Anqin said: "He may have to come back later tonight, and he followed a friend of your second uncle to inspect the shop, I left him dinner, let's not wait for him, eat first." ”

"Oh, I see."

Su Can and the three of them went to the table, and the dishes on the table were very simple, they were the kind of home-cooked dishes with three vegetables, one meat and one soup, although there was no big fish and meat, but the family ate very warmly.

After eating, Su Can was originally going to watch TV for a while, but was driven back to the room by Lin Anqin to do his homework, after all, he is now focusing on his studies.

The third uncle, Su Fang, looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, so he took out two hundred yuan and said to Lin Anqin: "Sister-in-law, this is the money that Su Can and Nuan Yang helped me sell melons today, you can give it to the child later, I still have something at home, so I will go back first." ”

Lin Anqin frowned and shirked: "What are you doing for them, they are still students, they don't need much money, so they keep it for themselves." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, even if I give them tea money for studying, let them study hard." Su Fang insisted on putting it in Lin Anqin's pocket.

Lin Anqin couldn't shirk it, so she had to say: "Okay, I'll accept it for them, and I'm sorry for you, the third uncle." ”

"Mmmm, sister-in-law, I know, in addition, when the eldest brother opened a store, I will also help ask my former friends to see if there is a suitable store." Su Fang said.

"Okay, thank you, the third child." Lin Anqin said.

"Hey, we're a family and don't talk to each other, where is the need to thank you? Then I'm leaving, sister-in-law. ”

"You go back at night and stay safe."

Lin Anqin sent Su Fang out of the gate of the community, and waited until Su Fang disappeared in the darkness on a tricycle before she returned home.

Su Can did his homework all night, reviewed the English words again, and made sure that he didn't miss anything to do, looked at the time and said ten o'clock, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

In this era, computers have not yet become popular in the family, and Su Can and other game consoles such as Xiaobawang do not have them at home, so he felt that there was nothing to do, so he went to bed early.

Su Can put his hands on his head and thought about the plan for tomorrow and the future, thought of his father and mother, thought of his relatives, thought of Cheng Keshu, Su Xiaoxiao, and thought of many, many things.

What is the way forward? He had a full plan, but he couldn't do it because of his age and money.

Some people may say that you are only sixteen years old now, just be your first year of high school, and there is no need to rush into society, but not for Su Can, he returned to this era to change the fate of the people around him, including his parents who will be dismissed in the next month......

People don't want to. There is no pressure to hope, there is no motivation without pressure, there is no vitality without motivation, there is no value without vitality, so people should have their own ideas, should have their own goals, even if they cannot achieve it in a lifetime, they can also be inspired to keep moving forward and never stop.

Su Can looked up by chance and found that the fluorescent lamp above his head emitted a faint orange light, and two or three moths slammed into it.

In his opinion, gratuitous is not self-defeating, looking for light and heat will eventually die, and the fate is really miserable.

"Bang!" The door was knocked gently, Lin Anqin walked in, and said with concern: "Su Can, I'm tired all afternoon, rest early, this is the money that the third uncle gave you, I'll put it on the table for you." She gently placed two 100 bills on Su Can's desk.

"Okay, Mom, good night." Su Can glanced at the two hundred yuan, nodded with an "um" sound, and his pupils lit up a little.

"Good night." Lin Anqin turned off the light, then pushed the door and went out.

"Two hundred, what can you do with two hundred......" Su Can muttered to himself softly with his head on his hands, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally his eyelids covered his eyes, and he slowly fell asleep.

Sunday.

In the morning, the community is very lively, some units have chickens crowing all the time, and some people have to get up before half past five to make breakfast and hurry to work after eating. None of them are time-free students anymore, they have their own families and inherent rules.

Although it is an eight-hour working time a day, except for the time on the way to and from work, ordinary working families are 5 to 9, 22 days a day, and every day life is a vicious circle, infinitely repeated, but they still do not give up their illusions about the city.

But Su Can woke up from the nightmare, sweating profusely, and found that he was still in the familiar bedroom, wearing soft pajamas, he took a light breath, and saw that the time was half past six, and he couldn't sleep if he wanted to sleep again, so he quickly rinsed his mouth and washed his face.

Lin Anqin has already gotten up, making breakfast in the kitchen, because the exhaust fan is a little old, every time he works, it always sounds suddenly, the fan blades are also covered with a layer of greasy and dirt, and the smoke is very slow, and some oil smoke floats out of the kitchen and jumps into the living room, Su Chengye sits on the sofa and smokes, and the cigarette of the lighter has not been lit, so he choked on a mouthful of oil smoke.

"I can't get rid of the smell of oil smoke!"

"The house is too small, when you have money, you must move to a good place to live, now you can bear with it, after so many years, it's not too late." Lin Anqin came out with a pot of boiled noodles and put it on the table, and said angrily.

"It's a trivial matter to change houses, but the neighbors who have been reluctant to do so many years are reluctant." Su Chengye is a very nostalgic person, probably this is a common problem of teaching professionals.

"Then wait for Su Can to grow up and then buy a house."

"Eat noodles, eat noodles, don't talk about it." Su Chengye moved his chopsticks and began to clip the noodles.

Lin Anqin shouted at Su Can's room outside, "Su Can has come out to eat noodles!" ”

"Come out when you know." Su Can responded.

After Su Can finished eating noodles, he said hello to his parents, changed into a clean coat and went out.

Today is Sunday, and there is still a day off, he is going to read a book in the bookstore for a morning, and in the afternoon Liu Lei invited him to play games in the CD game room.

The gray-white telephone poles are still familiar colors, the ground is pitted and potholed, a Xiali is speeding by, Su Can stood on the side of the street and squinted thoughtfully, his eyes flashed, there was an idea to sprout, thinking that the taxi industry in 1998 was also quite profitable, but a new Xiali car cost more than thirty or forty thousand, and the second-hand car did not know, first help his father step by step to do the business of the barbecue Malatang restaurant, and then determine whether it was professional or not.

The green patent leather No. 6 bus drove under the stop sign in a grand way, the front door creaked open, and Su Can walked up quickly and threw coins in.

I found that there were not many people sitting in the car today, so I sat in the penultimate position, put my hands on my knees, and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

The bus shuttles through the streets and alleys, sometimes stopping and sometimes opening the door, Su Can thought of this Monday, and Su Xiaoxiao sat on the bus to play romantically, eating ice cream, and riding a bicycle to play, as if Su Xiaoxiao's smile appeared in front of him, smiling, the starlight that came all the way, there were regrets and warmth.

The sunlight shines through the gap in the glass, and the white floc flutters all over the sky.

"The Tsinghua bookstore platform has arrived."

The driver glanced at the stop sign outside the window, stepped on the brake and stopped, Su Can slowly walked out, breathing in the fresh air of the morning, and the trees were dappled with green.

Now is not the era of strict pollution in later generations, every inch of grass and trees here is full of natural breath, there is no Pm2.5 haze in the air, and the moonlight at night can also penetrate the layers of clouds and sprinkle a hazy glow on the earth, instead of children can only describe the beauty of the full moon on TV or in books, or from the mouths of elders.

There are many neat books in Xinhua Bookstore, but Su Can wants to read miscellaneous books, such as "The History of Confucianism", "Caigen Tan", "Zhou Yi", "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and other books, because reading that kind of book can increase the horizon and reading horizon.

The future self has been busy at work, even in his spare time, he just stays at home and plays with mobile phones and computers, and stays at home.

One morning, Su Can took a copy of "Caigen Tan" and savored it in the corner, sat quietly, and carefully experienced the philosophy of ancient thinkers in the world.

"Embrace simplicity and clumsiness, the way of the world." Su Can chewed this sentence repeatedly, then looked at the text behind it, and read it word by word: "The world is shallow, the dyeing is also shallow, the history is deep, and the machinery is also deep, so the gentleman and his practice are not as simple as Lu, and he is not as cautious as he is crazy." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that a person who has stepped into society has a short experience, so he is less infected by various bad habits in society, and a person who has experienced a lot of accidents will also have more bad habits. Mr. Hong Yingming, the author of this book, said that a cultivated gentleman should maintain a simple personality instead of being tactful in doing things, and instead of being cautious and cautious in everything, it is better to be open-minded so as not to lose his innocent nature. ”

Su Can suddenly looked up, and saw a girl wearing a peaked cap, long black hair shawl, and a white T-shirt smiling at him.
